WWE RAW: 3 Botches and mistakes you missed this week (November 18th 2019)

There were some shocking botches this week

It is set to be quite an interesting week for WWE as they present their usual three live brand shows before including all three brands in this weekend's action. Given the buildup over the past few weeks, War Games and Survivor Series could be the biggest pay-per-views of the year and much of this is down to the work that NXT has put in ever since Crown Jewel.

NXT put the main roster on notice a few weeks ago and it appears that last night's episode of RAW was the developmental brand sending a clear message to both RAW and SmackDown. It was NXT who were left standing tall when all the dust settles, but could this be the scene that we are left looking at on Sunday night?

There are so many questions heading into the penultimate pay-per-view of the year, but what is currently known is that despite how stacked last night's RAW was, there were still a few mistakes throughout.

#3 Kevin Owens misses his punch

Kevin Owens completely missed contact with Drew McIntyre

Kevin Owens was approached by Triple H last night and offered the opportunity to follow in the footsteps of Finn Balor and re-join the NXT brand so that he could reinvent who he was and come out a much better person.

Owens didn't respond to the offer, but it came following his match against Drew McIntyre, where the two men put on a fantastic show ahead Survivor Series, where they will both be part of Team Raw.

The only awkward moment in the match came when McIntyre was on the outside and Owens went for a punch that was miles away. Despite the fact that it was quite far away from the Scottish star, he still sold the move, which means it was actually supposed to connect.

#2 Seth Rollins and Andrade's fantasy matchup became quite sloppy

Andrade's match with Seth Rollins contained some sloppy moments throughout

Many fans believed that this could have been a fantasy match as Seth Rollins collided with former NXT Champion Andrade and the captaincy of Team RAW at Survivor Series was even put on the line, but sadly, it didn't turn out that way at all.

The match was awkward and sloppy throughout with Andrade rolling too far in the international spot, Rollins forgetting that there was a chop coming his way, Andrade later almost falling off the top rope and even the referee managed to get in Andrade's way at one point to delay his offense.

Whilst there wasn't one big stand out botch in the match, there were a number of shocking smaller botches that made many fans question why this wasn't the match they had hoped for. The match was ended prematurely when The Lucha House Party attacked both Rollins and Andrade and forced the disqualification, which means that we could have a rematch between these two men in the future when they will both be in much better form and hopefully deliver that fantasy match that was promised.

#1 90 miles, 90 days or 90 feet?

Lana delivered quite an awkward promo last night on RAW

Lana's current storyline with Bobby Lashley and Rusev has already been panned by critics who believe that the feud has gone too far with Lana revealing that she was pregnant last week as a way to lure her husband Rusev out to the ring so that he could be attacked by Bobby Lashley.

The Ravishing Russian went one step further this week when she revealed that she had filed for a divorce and also been granted a restraining order. This order meant that Rusev had to stay 90 feet away from her, but Lana got flustered when reiterating this to the WWE Universe.

Instead, Lana stated that he had to stay 90 miles away, which would mean that they wouldn't be allowed in the same city, Lashley then corrected her and told her it was 90 feet, and somehow she then revealed that it was actually 90 days before finally stating that it was 90 feet.
