WWE SmackDown’s latest episode, broadcast live from Barcelona, Spain, had fans on their feet with action-packed moments. From title changes, thrilling high-risk moves by Tiffany Stratton, to hints about WrestleMania 41, the night was filled with excitement.
However, like every live show, not everything went smoothly. Some moments didn’t go as planned, and while they were easy to miss, eagle-eyed fans caught them. Here, we take a look at three botches from SmackDown that involved some of the top Bloodline superstars and added unintentional drama to the show.
#3. Jimmy Uso’s United States Championship Slip-up
During a promo segment, newly crowned United States Champion LA Knight was interrupted by Jimmy Uso, who seemed ready to challenge for the title.
But during their verbal exchange, Jimmy made a funny mistake — instead of saying “United States Championship,” he accidentally called it the ‘US Tag Titles.’
Fans quickly picked up on this botch, and although both stars carried on like pros, the slip didn’t go unnoticed. Moments like these remind us that even top WWE stars can fumble under pressure during live TV.
#2. Solo Sikoa’s Almost F-Bomb on Live TV
In the same segment, as Solo Sikoa and the new Bloodline joined Jimmy and Knight in the ring, another unexpected moment occurred.
Solo Sikoa, the leader of the heel faction, was trash-talking LA Knight and his brother Jimmy Uso. But while delivering his lines, Solo stumbled, seemed to forget his next words, and almost dropped an F-bomb on live television.
The slip was so obvious that even Jimmy Uso couldn’t hold back his laughter. Although this moment was later edited out for the US broadcast, international fans caught it live.
Despite the awkward pause, the segment led to a six-man tag team match involving Braun Strowman, which was one of the night’s main highlights.
#1. Jacob Fatu’s Missed Barricade Spot with Braun Strowman
The ongoing feud between Braun Strowman and Jacob Fatu continued to heat up in Barcelona. Both monsters clashed again, and while their fight was intense, there was one spot that didn’t go as planned.
During their brawl, Jacob Fatu attempted a big move where he launched himself at Strowman to break the barricade. Unfortunately, Strowman seemed to be standing too far from the barricade, causing Fatu to crash into it awkwardly.
This botch was quickly noticed by sharp-eyed WWE fans, who shared clips of the moment on social media. Although both superstars recovered quickly and kept the fight going, it was a moment that showed even the best can have off nights.
Live TV always brings surprises, and while WWE SmackDown in Barcelona was filled with amazing moments, these little botches added some unplanned entertainment. From Jimmy Uso’s title name mix-up, Solo Sikoa’s near slip of the tongue, to Jacob Fatu’s missed spot, each moment gave fans something to talk about.
As WrestleMania 41 approaches, fans can expect more heated moments and maybe even a few more botches, because that’s the beauty of live wrestling — anything can happen!
Stay tuned to see how these stories develop and what the Bloodline will do next!
