Presenting in front of a live audience always leaves a few issues given the fact that the tape can't be edited when it's going out live. It's make or break for several Superstars when they are in the ring and looking to perform many of their high octane moves.
Whilst Superstars train over and over and believe that they know their moveset so well that it can't go wrong, there are a number of occasions where sometimes even the most basic of WWE moves can go wrong in the moment.
So far in 2020, there have been some hilarious botches, from the unbelievable to the unwatchable. It may only be April but there have already been some botches that are worth talking about.

#5 But, that's the priest
Lana and Bobby Lashley decided to kick off the new year as newlyweds, which meant that the couple tied the knot live on Monday Night RAW and needed an extra to come in and act as the priest for the ceremony.
The issue here is that WWE's security team was not briefed on the fact that there would be another person added to the angle and they would be allowed to enter the ring through the audience. Instead, when The Priest made his way to the ring he was tackled by security and WWE then sent their show to commercial whilst they sent word to the ring that the man was supposed to be there.
When the show returned, the Priest was looking rather flushed in the face as he was waiting in the ring for the bride and groom. It became quite clear that the whole thing could have been avoided if the security team had been made aware that he would be there a few moments earlier.
#4 Undertaker's Super Showdown Chokeslam
Super Showdown from Saudi Arabia took place in a strange place in the WWE calendar this year since it was before WrestleMania, rather than after it. But it was the place where The Undertaker was able to set up a match with AJ Styles.
The Phenomenal One was on course to win the Tuwaiq Trophy after Karl Anderson and Luke Gallows swept aside the competition for him, but The Deadman showed up backstage before making his way to the ring to take out Styles himself.
The Deadman delivered a Chokeslam to the former WWE Champion but as he did it was clear that either Styles didn't jump or The Deadman wasn't prepared for the weight of AJ Styles when he had to lift him and deliver the familiar slam.
What proceeded was one of the worst moves of the year when the bump didn't go to plan. Luckily, this was all forgiven when the two men were able to steal WrestleMania by putting on the first-ever Boneyard match, which was outstanding.
#3 Montez Ford bumps on RAW
RAW was pre-recorded for a number of weeks from the Performance Center because of the on-going situation regarding COVID-19. The fact that the show is pre-recorded means that WWE is able to edit out any errors that the stars make before the show makes it to TV.
A few weeks ago, WWE missed one of the biggest botches of the year when Montez Ford delivered a senton to the outside but was unable to make any kind of contact with Austin Theory.
The match saw The Street Profits and Kevin Owens take on Austin Theory, Angel Garza and Seth Rollins, but when The Monday Night Messiah failed to grab Ford when he was making a run for the ropes, the RAW Tag Team Champion was forced to improvise which almost left him injured.
Theory was on the outside but he was unaware that there was a spot where he had to catch Ford, which is why he moved out of the way and King Tez was forced to hit the hard steel ramp back first.
#2 MVP's RKO
One of the biggest rivalries of the year so far has been between former teammates Edge and Randy Orton. After The Viper tried to force The Rated-R Superstar back into retirement following his Royal Rumble return, the two men were set on a collision course that would only culminate at WrestleMania 36 in a Last Man Standing Match.
A number of Superstars were embroiled in their feud throughout the four months, including Matt Hardy, Beth Phoenix, and the returning MVP.
Of course, MVP was there to try to help Edge by talking him into making him his manager, but the Rated-R Superstar wanted nothing to do with The Playmaker, which lead to an altercation between the two men and an RKO off the steel chair.
MVP wasn't prepared to take the bump at all, which is why he took it on his hands and then slowly dropped onto his head in perhaps the worst sell of an RKO ever. WWE has edited the move from the other side, which makes the move look like it has much more impact behind it.
#1 Who won the match, Mike?
One of the strangest botches of the year took place last week on RAW when Shayna Baszler was taking on Sarah Logan in what would later become Logan's final WWE match. The match would see the winner go on to qualify for the Women's Money in the Bank Ladder match at the pay-per-view of the same name.
Baszler delivered a thunderous blow to Logan's arm which meant that she was unable to continue with the match so the referee called for the bell and Baszler was the obvious winner. It appears that this news was lost in translation since ring announcer Mike Rome told the empty arena that Sarah Logan was the winner since he must have believed that the match ended via disqualification.
The fact that this was a Money in the Bank qualifying match and Logan was then released a few days later makes it even more shocking, but the commentary team was left to clear up the mess in the moments that followed, where they made it clear that The Cagefighter won the match.
