The final episodes of Raw and SmackDown Live before this weekend's Money in the Bank event have been and gone and the shows once again promised so much and delivered so little, but there were a number of stars that stood out for all of the wrong reasons.

Raw boasted a number of interesting match-ups, including two incredible fatal four-way matches whilst SmackDown saw the first-ever meeting between a number of Superstars including Daniel Bryan and Shelton Benjamin.

These shows will probably be remembered for all of the wrong reasons rather than the fact that many of these matches definitely delivered and built the desired momentum ahead of Money in the Bank.

New Champs in WWE! More RIGHT HERE

Mistakes happen to every Superstar at some point in their career and there were many wrestlers this week who suffered some embarrassing botches ahead of the most unpredictable event of the year.


#5 Sonya Deville misses the target

Sonya Deville was part of the opening segment on SmackDown Live when she and Mandy Rose made their way to the ring to taunt the Women's Money in the Bank competitors from the Blue brand.

The IIconics and two-thirds of Absolution pointed out that the women outside of the Money in the Bank ladder match was much more talented than the women who had qualified, which then led to a brawl.

Deville and Lana were two of the women who started brawling outside of the ring to set up an eight-woman tag team match later in the night, but as the camera's panned around the brawl they picked up on the former MMA star and the fact that she launched a kick to the mid-section of Lana and completely misjudged the distance between them which caused her to miss.

#4 Bayley's baseball slide

Bayley opened a feud with The Riott Squad a few weeks ago and this continued on Monday Night Raw this week but it was a match to forget for The Huggable superstar who not only lost the match and was then humiliated by her competition afterward, but she also botched a simple baseball slide out of the ring.

Bayley was unable to cover up the fact that she had botched the move as well since it was made obvious to the fans watching at home that she was supposed to connect with the move but actually slipped on her way over to Riott and was then forced to throw a forearm instead.

#2 Jonathan Coachman doesn't know music

Jonathan Coachman has definitely been an upgrade behind the announce table on Raw in recent weeks, but the former ESPN reporter had a foot in mouth moment this week on Raw when he called John Mayor a hip-hop artist.

Corey Graves and Michael Cole attempted to correct him, but he tried to pass it off as a joke, but if it was then it wasn't a very good one. Graves was still making jokes about it on SmackDown Live, and Coachman has also been batting off comments on Social Media ever since he made the comment.

#1 Lana gets stuck on her way out of the ring

WWE made the right decision this week when they opted for a 10-woman tag match, rather than giving Lana too much to remember in the ring and giving her chances to botch. Even though Lana only delivered a neck breaker and had to dodge a bronco buster this week on SmackDown, somehow The Ravishing Russian managed to botch being thrown out of the ring.

Lana broke up the pin to save the match for her team before Carmella threw her to the outside and she then got stuck in the ropes. Lana is part of her first ever ladder match on Sunday night and since he has been a consistent fixture on this list, it could be a painful night for the Total Divas star.
