Ever since the lockdown began and fans stopped filling the stands, WWE has struggled with its ratings and viewership.

However, this doesn’t seem to be the only problem that plagues WWE.

There has been an increasing number of botches in matches, with moves going awry. Poor timing, execution, and judgment have made the Superstars look ridiculous time and again.

In a match a couple of weeks ago, Superstar Lince Dorado attempted a Diving Hurricane off the top rope onto Big E. However, he swooped down too low and had his head bounce off the floor instead.

This could have been pretty dangerous in other circumstances, but Dorado got back up as quickly as he could in order to cover that up.

In her match against Charlotte Flair, Asuka caught her opponent outside the ring while she stood at ring-level.

Attempting to run into Charlotte with a drop-kick, she poorly executed her move, giving Charlotte the opportunity to run out of the way. 

Asuka fell straight on the floor, and the botch was played off as a smart move by Charlotte to get out of harm’s way.

WWE has had comical botches over the weeks.

The most recent botch came in the Champion vs Challenger Tag team matchup fought between Asuka & Drew McIntyre and Sasha Banks & Dolph Ziggler.

Banks attempted a Meteora on an unprepared Asuka from the side of the ring. However, her knees completely missed their target, and Asuka was brought down by Banks’ feet instead!

Considering the fact that Asuka was standing still, it was pretty poor judgment on Banks’ part.

With the number of injuries taking place in WWE that delay storylines and damage careers, Superstars need to be more careful while playing out their moves.

The botches do not portray WWE in a good light.

Superstars need to practice their moves carefully in order to execute them well. Hopefully, we don’t see any serious botches in the upcoming matches.
