10 BOTCHED WWE Match Finishes

7. Divas Battle Royal - Raw, August 20, 2012

Kaitlyn was the surprise winner of a battle royal to determine the number one contender to the Divas Title on the August 20, 2012 episode of Raw. 

A surprise to the fans, as well as a surprise to Kaitlyn herself, and a surprise to Eve Torres, who was really supposed to be the last lady standing. Kaitlyn had clotheslined Eve over the top rope to the floor to bag the title shot. 

Torres should have landed on the ring apron and then eliminated Kaitlyn, but she misjudged the landing, a consequence of her instructing Kaitlyn to hit her ‘harder’. 

The victor trudged backstage fearing that she would be fired for the mishap, but was instead met by Vince McMahon laughing hysterically at the Gorilla position. Far from mad, the boss clearly thought the snafu was funny. 

Torres, full of adrenaline, was upset at the time, but the incident had the effect of bringing her and Kaitlyn closer together and they soon found themselves working a programme over the title. 

WWE would have Eve injure Kaitlyn at Night of Champions and take her place in the Divas Title match against Layla.
