The one night of the year that WWE goes extreme is now just two weeks away and Paul Heyman's first night in charge of Monday Night Raw seemingly showed that there is a new era in WWE right now.

The advocate for The Beast Incarnate made some distinctive changes to the show that were apparent throughout but even though a new era began, Raw was still riddled with botches. Extreme Rules takes place on July 14th and the fact that weapons are legal in many of the matches that are part of the show is slightly worrying since some of these botches could have been avoided.

The build towards Extreme Rules and The Biggest Party of The Summer continued last night but here are some of the biggest botches that were spotted by the eagle-eyed members of the WWE Universe.

#3. Lacey Evans

Lacey Evans is about to step into the biggest match of her career as she competes in an Extreme Rules match alongside Baron Corbin against Seth Rollins and Becky Lynch at Extreme Rules on July 14th, but her botches over the past few weeks have many fans questioning why Evans is gaining such a huge push.

Evans managed to botch in her Raw Women's Championship match back at Stomping Grounds, so much so that Lynch was visibly annoyed with her opponent and can't have been happy that their feud continued after the match.

This week on Raw, Evans took on Natalya once again and was shockingly able to botch a straight forward schoolboy roll-up, but luckily Natalya was able to save it and take it into a pin of her own so that Evans didn't look too stupid.

#2. Mic botch

There were a number of cringe segments last night on Raw, but the return of Mike and Maria Kanellis had to be the worst. The former Diva Search contestant shouted about wanting a title for having a baby before a match between Maria, Mike, Seth Rollins, and Becky Lynch was made.

Maria hasn't wrestled on WWE TV for a long time and she managed to find a way out of a showdown with Lynch by grabbing a mic and announcing that she was pregnant. Maria had to repeat herself three times before production knew that they needed to turn on the mic and then the segment went from bad to worse when she decided Becky Lynch was the only man in that ring and next time she would ask her to impregnate her instead.

The Street Profits debut was ruined by Monday Night Raw's production team

The Street Profits were called up to Monday Night Raw last night in what was one of Paul Heyman's biggest and perhaps best decisions on his first night in charge, but someone made the error of showing the duo backstage before they were supposed to.

It was merely 30 seconds into this week's episode of the show when a camera cut to backstage where the two stars were chatting before it quickly came back outside and Braun Strowman then made his way to the ring. The commentary team didn't mention the two stars backstage so it was made obvious that it wasn't supposed to happen until later when Charley Caruso then interviewed the NXT Tag Team Champions and announced that they had finally been called up to the Monday Night Raw roster.
