20 Most Embarrassing Wrestling Botches Of 2019 (So Far)

19. Biding His Time (WrestleMania 35)

WWE concocted an elaborate ring entrance for Batista at WrestleMania 35, with the Hollywood star arriving via black SUV convoy accompanied by an army of suit-clad goons.

An unfortunate staging malfunction led to 'The Animal' pacing around the ring for what felt like an eternity after reaching the bottom of the ramp. WWE had difficulty stashing the vehicles behind the stage afterwards, leading to a long delay as Big Dave stomped around killing time. Those sat behind the structure were likely popping their faces off for this flub.
