WWE Crown Jewel 2021: 5 botches you missed 

WWE Crown Jewel took place at the Mohammed Abdu Arena on the Boulevard in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia earlier today. It included some incredible matchups that were building on WWE TV for several months.

Edge and Seth Rollins' feud finally came to an end inside Hell in A Cell. Zelina Vega was crowned the first-ever Queen of WWE. Xavier Woods realized his dream when he was crowned the King of the Ring for the first time.

Meanwhile, Becky Lynch was retained the SmackDown Women's Championship. Big E and RK-Bro also retained their Championships at Crown Jewel, whilst Mansoor remained undefeated in his hometown. Roman Reigns walked out of the show with his Universal Championship in another epic showdown between himself and Brock Lesnar.

It was a night full of memorable moments, where the company was able to make history on numerous occasions. While it could be considered a success for WWE, there were still several botches throughout the show.

#5. "That's A Table" - Corey Graves forced to correct Michael Cole at Crown Jewel

Bobby Lashley took on Goldberg as part of Crown Jewel in a feud that has become deeply personal after Lashley attacked Goldberg's son Gage.

Before the show, the match was made a No Holds Barred match. Goldberg is no stranger to the Middle East or to being part of botch lists from his trips to Saudi Arabia, but this time around it was someone else botching in Goldberg's match.

When Bobby Lashley rolled out of the ring to get weapons for the match, Michael Cole said Lashley had pulled out a ladder. As seen from the video above, Lashley actually pulled out a table.

Rather than allow this statement to stand, Corey Graves made it clear that it was a table. This wasn't the only mistake Michael made as part of the show, since Cole was seemingly having some issues throughout Crown Jewel.

#4. Shelton Benjamin misses the superkick at Crown Jewel

On the Crown Jewel kick-off show, Shelton Benjamin and Cedric Alexander took on The Usos to continue the feud between The Bloodline and The Hurt Business.

The four stars put on a fantastic match that The Usos won, but there were several awkward moments. The most obvious botch came when Shelton Benjamin went for a Superkick and completely missed.

Jey Uso did his best to cover the botch but it was clear that there was no contact. Jey still bumped the move as though there was an impact. The camera angle didn't do Benjamin any favors on this one.

This wasn't the only botch on the Crown Jewel kickoff show, since the panel were talking about the matches ahead of the show and noted that Edge was going over to RAW, but didn't seem to remember that Seth Rollins was also drafted over to the red brand.

#3. Titus O'Neil wasn't given a fist bump at Crown Jewel

Natalya and Titus O'Neil presented four women from Saudi Arabia with WWE titles after showing their bravery as part of an inspirational segment at this year's Crown Jewel.

The women were honored after winning the fight against breast cancer. But at the end of the segment, Titus O'Neil took one of the women by surprise as he went to embrace all of them in the ring.

O'Neil appeared to be going for a fist bump with the unknown woman, but she wasn't prepared. Instead of this happening, she ignored the gesture from the star and appeared to adjust her burkha as part of the Crown Jewel segment instead.

Of course, Titus has been part of WWE for many years and has learned to improvise in these situations. After his fist bump was denied, he decided that it would be less embarrassing if he just nodded to the other women instead.

#2. Goldberg loses the fight with his own gloves at Crown Jewel

Goldberg faced off against Bobby Lashley at Crown Jewel earlier tonight, knowing that he didn't have the best history in the Middle East.

Goldberg was part of one of the worst matches of his career against The Undertaker a few years ago and whilst this match against Lashley at Crown Jewel was a huge improvement, there were still several issues for the former Universal Champion.

He hit his Jackhammer without any issues as part of the match but after refusing to pin his opponent, he tried to take off his gloves and had a whole host of issues. The first glove took him several minutes to figure out before his second can be seen in the video above.

Goldberg also got his knee brace caught on the ring skirt as he attempted to climb out of the ring and had to stop and untangle himself. This delayed his time outside the ring, but he was able to brush off both of these issues and go on to pick up the win.

#1. Becky Lynch vs Bianca Belair vs Sasha Banks at Crown Jewel

Becky Lynch retained her SmackDown Women's Championship against Bianca Belair and Sasha Banks at Crown Jewel, but it didn't come easy for The Man.

The match was another high octane encounter between three of WWE's best female wrestlers, but it's hard to look past the fact that it contained several botches. Michael Cole called the women by the wrong name several times, whilst there were a number of missed moves including a blatant forearm that was miles away from its intended target.

These three women were pushed into the semi-main event of the show so it was expected to be a match that stole the show. Whilst there were several botches throughout, the match was still the spectacle the WWE Universe deserved.
