3 Botches You Probably Missed On SmackDown Live (September 11th, 2018)

SmackDown Live was the final stop on the road to Hell in a Cell and the show boasted some impressive matches, with Charlotte taking on Sonya Deville, Jeff Hardy looking to settle the score with Shinsuke Nakamura, Andrade "Cien" Almas took on R-Truth and Brie Bella and Maryse colliding for the first time in more than 10 years ahead of their mixed tag team match on Sunday night. .

The women of WWE main evented this week's SmackDown Live but the episode itself was just as underwhelming as last week's episode of Raw, the main news story coming out of SmackDown was the fact that Rusev Day has earned a Tag Team Championship shot at Hell in a Cell, but there were also many more memorable moments that WWE was hoping the WWE Universe didn't see.

#3 "Why Aren't You Counting?"

Charles was made to look like a fool

Brie Bella and Maryse main evented this week's episode of SmackDown Live, but Maryse played the stereotypical heel and decided to roll out of the ring a number of times before The Miz then cut a promo on Brie Bella to tell her she didn't deserve to be in the ring with his wife.

Once again, WWE decided to make their own officials look like they don't know how to do their job by having Charles Robinson stand in the ring and hold Brie back throughout the promo rather than counting Maryse out.

If WWE knew there was going to be a promo then why did they allow the bell to ring for a match, this just makes one of their most senior referees look as though he can't uphold the rules.

#2 Sonya's Neck

Sonya felt the wrath of The Queen

Sonya Deville returned to WWE TV this week as a warm-up for Charlotte Flair ahead of her title defense on Sunday night, but even having Mandy Rose at ringside wasn't enough to help the former MMA star to victory.

The match wasn't a solid one by any stretch of the imagination, but one spot, in particular, would have stood out to the WWE Universe since it looked as though Charlotte was looking for a springboard rebound from the triangle choke but Sonya's neck bounced off the rope and Charlotte was then forced to switch the move in mid-air. This is definitely something that Sonya will be feeling in the morning.

#1 Brie's botch count continues to climb

It's been a terrible few weeks for Brie Bella

Brie Bella returned to the ring on a more permanent basic last week and managed to botch two suicide dives on Raw, she then came over to SmackDown Live and botched her promo, before this week she was handed a main event spot against Maryse and once again only stood out because of a less obvious botch.

Maryse went for the French Kiss DDT on the Total Bella's star but Brie managed to fight out and grabbed Maryse's legs but as The former Divas Champion fell to the ground it looks as though Brie falls over her legs and manages to and in a position where she could cover herself and continue the beatdown on her Hell in a Cell opponent.

This wasn't one of the biggest botches Brie has had in recent weeks but it was certainly another one that she can add to her tally.
