100 Greatest WWE Royal Rumble Moments Ever

82. Titus O’Neil’s “Greatest” Slide (The Greatest Royal Rumble)

Daniel Bryan and Roderick Strong carving lumps out of one another's chests was a highlight in the so-called Greatest Royal Rumble, but it wasn't the main talking point coming out of the event. Braun Strowman winning a token belt wasn't either. No, the headlines and social media chatter belonged to one man: Titus O'Neil.

He went Titus Worldslide that evening.

Much like Taka Michinoku's painful faceplant from 2000, this wasn't meant to happen. O'Neil sprinted out full of energy in 2018, then slipped and slid head-first right under the ring. Corey Graves remarked that he half-expected to see Titus come shooting out the other side and crash into the announce desk, which was hilarious.

O'Neil probably wanted everybody to forget about this moment, but that'd be impossible. The big man went flying! It can't top most of the other Rumble-related gems in this collection, but Titus making a fool of himself and becoming a walking meme over in Saudi Arabia had to be included somewhere.
