Wrestling, a sport demanding precise coordination, often unfolds seamlessly when everything and everyone sync up for a compelling match. However, the unpredictable nature of live events occasionally leads to botches, disrupting the carefully choreographed sequences. This week’s Raw main event, set up last week, faced a botch, emphasizing the difficulty of maintaining perfection.

In the highly anticipated clash between World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins and Jinder Mahal, a crucial moment unfolded during a suplex attempt by the champion. Mahal countered, leading to a falcon arrow from Rollins. The sequence was further marred when Rollins set up for his trademark Stomp, only to be knocked back by ‘Modern Day Maharaja’. Despite the intricate choreography, the match took an unexpected turn due to a lapse in timing.

In a crucial moment, Veer accidentally caused a botch by letting Mahal’s foot slip off the bottom rope during a pinfall. Mahal showed professionalism by quickly covering up the mistake, using his other leg on the rope to avert a disaster. His swift thinking saved the moment. The incident added an element of unpredictability to an already intense main event.
