5 Botches, slip-ups, and outrageous moments from WWE SmackDown LIVE (May 16th, 2017)

A lacklustre show that had its fair share of botches

#1 ...dive sign

If there are any awards for the best sign of the night, this person wins. Most people who are reading online analysis from last night’s wrestling show are likely aware of the immense amount of drama this past weekend that Randy Orton found himself at the centre of.

Randy’s now infamous retweet of a Rip Roger’s tweet (that contained a text image that he got from someone before him) unintentionally gave birth to a new wrestling catchphrase: “...dive”.

This fan brought this homemade sign of the new Orton phrase onto the hard camera side. They even had enough patience to wait throughout the entire show until Orton’s main event to hold it up. So there Randy was, circling the ring opposite Baron Corbin when the very thing he Tweeted out just days prior served as his backdrop.

The outrageousness of Sasha’s loss took the top spot this week, but what other moments caught your attention? Let us know about them in the comments below. Also, if you see any future Raw or SmackDown botches let us know while the show is still airing by sending them to Mitch on Twitter @MitchNickelson!
