10 Wrestlers Who Totally Underprepared For Wrestling Matches

2. Charlotte Flair Didn't Even Pack Her Gear For Her Returning SmackDown Title Win

Another mistake that likely falls into the "cardinal sin" category in the world of pro-wrestling, a certain 14-time Women's Champion learned the hard way why a performer should always have their wrestling gear prepped and ready to go when showing up at an arena.

Few expected to see The Queen suddenly arrive back on the SmackDown scene on the night of December 30. And even less thought she'd mark her return with a blue show Women's Championship win over Ronda Rousey - Charlotte Flair included!

And it was that assumption that she wouldn't be asked to throw-down in-between the ropes on the night that resulted in the soon-to-be champ deciding to leave her wrestling attire at home.

Flair only found out she'd be winning the strap when she turned up to the arena that evening, with the last-minute reveal meaning that she had to ask her "amazing cleaning lady" to drop her gear off.

This meant that her outfit only arrived less than an hour before showtime, something Flair herself would describe as "pushing it." That's one way to put it.

Had Flair not been able to get her hands on her outfit in time, though, maybe there was a world where Rousey could've still reigned as the Baddest Champion on the Planet. Flair's reliable cleaning lady had other ideas, though...
