The Most Memorable WWE Botches of 2018

#8 Jeff Hardy

The two Js had a better match than most expected

One of my favourites from 2018. Jinder Mahal faced Jeff Hardy for the United States title which the former was holding. The match took place in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia at the Greatest Royal Rumble PPV.

The match can be termed one of the most memorable matches of the year. Not because of the quality of the match, but because of the botch that made the match stand out.

During the latter half of the match, Hardy climbed the turnbuckles and attempted to deliver one of his signatures moves called Whisper In The Wind. As Hardy climbed the ropes, Mahal decided to rise to his feet and get a bit out of position while Hardy’s back was turned for the move.

Hardy then backflipped for the move, only to find no-one home and landed flat on the canvas with The Modern Day Maharaja just inches away from him. Jinder still tried to sell the move and fell off his feet as though a connection was made after a pause of about a couple of seconds.

Here it is folks, the greatest botch for the Greatest Royal Rumble. I think it’s time to Hinder the Jinder #WWEGRR pic.twitter.com/wRQFjuI9Yn
