Although pro wrestling is scripted, sometimes things go wrong, resulting in some very embarrassing moments for WWE Superstars.
Performing on live TV and in front of a live audience could be tricky for WWE Superstars. Although the wrestlers get to feel the energy of the WWE Universe, their mistakes are not fixable and cannot be taken back.
Many WWE Superstars have suffered embarrassing moments in the ring. While some suffered wardrobe malfunctions in front of thousands of live fans and millions of viewers at home, others were even more unlucky and suffered worse accidents.

Some WWE superstars have opened up about their most embarrassing moments in interviews in the past few years. Top names like John Cena, Randy Orton, and The Miz have told some shocking stories.
Here are the five most embarrassing moments for WWE Superstars
#5. WWE Legend John Cena
John Cena is a legend in WWE and has been the face of the company for many years. However, he suffered an unfortunate accident during one of his matches which has become his most embarrassing moment ever in a WWE ring.
Before Cena wore his famous jean shorts, he used to wrestle in trunks. They were much shorter and tighter, and he wore different colours.
Cena was wrestling in Halloween orange-coloured trunks one day when things went wrong for the 16-time world champion.
"The most embarrassing thing is when I performed with food poisoning. I happened to not be wearing my denim shorts, this was way back in the days of yore and believe it or not, I was wearing Halloween orange spandex trunks. At the end of the contest, the orange had turned into an unflattering Autumn brown," Cena told Sportbible.
Luckily for Cena, he later gave up the trunks when he adopted the Doctor of Thuganomics persona. The 44-year-old went on to dominate the WWE for over a decade and a half.
The 16-time world champion recently confirmed he would be returning to WWE without giving an exact date. He told Chris Van Vliet that he is looking forward to wearing his ring gear again:
"I can tell you this, I very much look forward to wearing jorts again, it's been too long." revealed Cena
Cena's last WWE bout came at WrestleMania 36 when he lost to The Fiend Bray Wyatt in a Firefly Fun House match.
#4. WWE Superstar The Miz
Former WWE Champion The Miz is known for his great promos. However, his memory once failed him, leaving the most must-see WWE Superstar in a very embarrassing situation on live TV.
In 2006, The Miz hosted the third season of the WWE Diva Search. On July 10, the Diva Search finalists appeared on Monday Night RAW for the first time. Miz, who was still fresh on the main roster, had to go over the voting procedure for the WWE Universe, but he lived his worst nightmare when he forgot the phone number.
"If you forget the phone number that everyone has to call to vote in on – guess what? That's not a good thing, and it's not like it was on a board or anything like that I can actually read off of. When that happens, you get this kind of knot in your stomach, you get a panic, you get a cold sweat going, and I never felt that before in my life. And when that happened, I was like, 'Oh my God.' and this is what happened, and I froze," The Miz told the story on Alexa Bliss' Uncool Podcast.
After he stammered on for a few minutes, WWE producers realized Miz was having trouble in the ring and came to his rescue.
"Everything just went white and I was like, 'Oh my God,' and thank God that the producers played someone's music because I was like 'I'm gone, I have nowhere else to go. I couldn't do anything, and it was the most embarrassing thing and I'll never forget it." The Miz added
Following the incident, The Miz went up to Vince McMahon to apologize and promised him he would never forget his lines again. The Chairman accepted his apology. The 40-year-old then went on to become one of the most successful WWE Superstars in history.
#3. WWE Superstar Randy Orton
Although Randy Orton has many memorable moments in WWE, but also has a few embarrassing ones.
In 2016, The Viper revealed his most embarrassing WWE moment in an interview with B-Change. He recalled suffering an unexpected wardrobe malfunction during a tag team match.
"Ten years ago, I was in Japan and I was wrestling, I think it was me and Edge against Ric Flair and Triple H and I was pantsed in the ring at a match in front of 10,000 Japanese fans. My rear end was showing." revealed Orton
As if the incident was not embarrassing enough for Orton, he had to face more embarrassment the following morning.
"The next day at the hotel everybody was laughing when I came down to eat breakfast and the front page of the paper was a big picture of me and my rear end showing for the Japanese newspaper readers at home. I would say that's the most embarrassing moment." admitted Orton
Randy Orton is one of the biggest names on the WWE roster today and has been around for nearly two decades. He is currently active on Monday Night RAW as part of team RK-Bro alongside Riddle.
#2. WWE Superstar Nikki Cross
Nikki Cross is a very talented WWE Superstar, but her talent did not prevent her from suffering an embarrassing moment in the ring.
In 2016, Cross was part of SAnitY, alongside Eric Young, Alexander Wolfe, and Killian Dain. In a pre-recorded segment from NXT TakeOver in Toronto, Cross had to run in with SAnitY and hit No Way Jose, with a dropkick to the back. However, things did not go as planned and turned into Cross's most embarrassing WWE moment.
"It was a TakeOver in Toronto, and it wasn’t live though. It was a section that they record before it goes live and it gets aired on NXT a few days later and I was to be a part of SAnitY, run out, hit No Way Jose with a dropkick to the back and this is my big moment, this is my big moment! SAnitY’s a fresh, hot new act, this was my big shining moment, coming off the top rope, and I missed," Cross said on the Wilde On podcast.
Because the segment was pre-recorded, WWE producers asked Cross to do the dropkick for a second time. Her SAnitY partners held Jose thinking it would help her. Nonetheless, she had to do it a third time in front of the live audience because of her partners' help.
"It was an awesome dropkick but when you pre-record something like that, you need to go into it the same way, so the first time they did it, they weren’t holding Jose, so then I had to do it a third time and by this point, the crowd are just crickets (...) So the third time, I just felt horrible. It was the biggest crowd I had ever performed in front of and my heart just — I was in pieces. My heart sank. I was so sad but then you just — you pick yourself up and you get on with it."
Despite Nikki Cross's mishap, it did not stop her from becoming a successful WWE Superstar, winning the Women's Tag Team Championships twice. Cross recently debuted a new superhero character on Monday Night RAW.
#1. WWE's Chief Brand Officer Stephanie McMahon
WWE's Chief Brand Officer Stephanie McMahon has shared the ring with her husband Triple H several times. He was also present when she suffered her most embarrassing WWE moment.
As quoted by PWPIX, Stephanie recalled her wardrobe malfunction during a segment where Triple H attempted to pedigree her on the announcer’s table in 2002:
"That would be when I had a wardrobe malfunction. Yes, so, there was my husband again! We were on top of the announce table, I think, and, he went to put me in the Pedigree and I was wearing something that was apparently too low cut even though I was taped in. And so, in the Pedigree, you’re bent over and both arms are tied behind your back and I am now looking at my own breasts that are exposed."
Being in the pedigree position, McMahon could do nothing to fix her situation. She was left mortified.
"My arms are pinned behind my back, so there’s absolutely nothing I can do except stare at myself and think about how mortified I was in that given moment! Thank God that social media didn’t exist back then!"
Stephanie McMahon has not competed in over three years. Her last match came at WrestleMania 34 when she teamed up with her husband Triple H against Ronda Rousey and Kurt Angle.
