10 BOTCHED WWE Match Finishes

5. Rated-RKO vs. D-Generation X - New Year's Revolution 2007

While a lot of botched match endings are the result of timing issues or miscommunication, sometimes injuries can lead to confusion and cause the script to be thrown completely out of the window.

When Rated-RKO defended their World Tag Team Titles against DX at the 2007 New Year’s Revolution pay-per-view, it was supposed to end with Edge and Orton retaining the gold, leading to a bigger blowoff match in the future. 

As they were nearing the close, The Game nailed the Legend Killer with a Spinebuster and blew out his quad. 

Deciding to gut it out as he had almost six years earlier in similar circumstances, Hunter carried on despite being in tremendous pain, determined to finish the match.

A bizarre scene unfolded, with Triple H hobbling around and Orton at one point running into the ring with a chair, only to turn suddenly around and bail for no adequately explained reason.

Michaels, sensing things were falling apart and that it would benefit them to wrap things up sooner rather than later, decided to take matters into his own hands and punched the official before adlibbing a post-match beatdown.
