10 WWE Booking Decisions That Almost Caused A Riot

[@AntPower2015]

The fact that hogan was shocked sting wasn't going over shows how bad the decision was to had triple h win

[@Hitomora]

Hogan was probably mad because he was tied to Sting by being members of NWO

[@ChrisManley1994]

Triple H beating Sting made me sick

[@natesepnefski]

You know Triple H defeating Sting was basically one final blow... one final insult to WCW. Triple H was probably like, "he was WCW most of his career, I'm not fucking losing him at WrestleMania"

[@johntitor7357]

LOL even if sting had a match with Undertaker he would have lost, and I am sure no one would have complained about that but when HHH beats someone fans start bashing him although HHH has one of the worst WM record of all time.

[@mauricewilliams1724]

I will never forget being in attendance at the 2015 royal rumble in Philadelphia that was one of the loudest boo crowd reactions I’ve ever heard in my entire life watching it professional wrestling. I felt bad for the rock because when he went backstage he was not himself at all.

[@remingtonbouyer]

Rock was mad because while he did what he could to help Roman it still wasn't enough for someone as beloved by the wwe fans like Rock

Here's my list 10. Becky Lynch squashed Bianca Belair 9. John Cena at ECW One Stand Night 2006 8. Charlotte Flair added to the Wrestlemania 35 main event 7. Triple H beats Sting at Wrestlemania 31 6. Kevin Owens at Fastlane 2017 5. Oldberg squashes The Fiend at Super Showdown 2020 4. Roman Reigns winning the 2015 Royal Rumble Match 3. Batista winning the 2014 Royal Rumble Match 2. Katie Vick 1. Hulk Hogan beats Yokozuna at Wrestlemania 9

[@SirAsdf]

That Reigns Rumble win was so terrible that Roman basically became public enemy number one for the Wrestling community for YEARS afterward. And it definitely didn't help that right after that match, he had the infamous "sufferin' succotash" promo. A promo so awful that I think it stole years off the lifespan of everyone who watched it live. It didn't matter what the hell they did with him, if Roman was anywhere near the title picture, he was booed mercilessly. The pure unfiltered hatred toward him really only stopped once he made that leukemia announcement, something totally out of the WWE'S control.

On the thumbnail, you would’ve known if Charlotte Flair retains the NXT Women’s title over both Rhea Ripley & Io Shirai, the crowd would’ve been a little furious….just saying about this!!

[@sonicyuuki2292]

Ok. It was 2012, I was still brand new to wrestling and didn't know any better. With that said, I actually liked Sheamus when he was Champion back then. I know that, nowadays, that reign was meh, but back then, I was rooting for him Also, I saw the 2015 Royal Rumble match on the USA Network, back when Raw happened on WWE hq during a blizzard. Most people talk about The Rock helping Roman deal with Kane and that guy who looks like Paul Wight, but what no one talks about is that, after that moment, Roman didn't really win the match because, plot twist, the dude who looks like Miro was never eliminated from the match

[@amartyaroy3754]

Had Cena won against RVD in one night stand 2006 he would have definitely been attacked.

[@miltownphenom]

Come on, guys. Where is Punk v. Cena from 2011 MITB?? That crowd was nearly the level of RVD v. Cena ONS

True that, but they actually booked the right person to win

I think Ronda shouldn’t get the major wins like charlotte used to. Like, she he royal rumble 2022, she won. Pissed me off. They need to let other names win for once. Not Ronda.

I was there in the 2014 Royal rumble i cheered for batista when he won he was one of my favorite wrestlers growing up

[@remingtonbouyer]

Same here but he didn't need to win in 2014 I was going for Bryan or Punk honestly Punk

[@deciduous_reaper]

Honestly I was disappointed on the fact that they Booed on Rey like really why did Rey deserved the boo even my nephew was disappointed on that since Rey is his favorite Wrestler

[@tohomaster4664]

The IWC may say their gonna "riot" in the modern era but they never will. All talk and no action. The only one of consequence was the December 15th 1997 house show in Little Rock Arkansas. Today's IWC fans are all talk and no action minus the ones who assault superstars but then again they are few and far between.

[@klash85]

Forever reason they decided to let Sting lose. That's b/c the guy he was fighting was the boss's son in law.🤣

@Daiki yup, glad he left and then go to AEW. Even though he doesn't wrestle much in AEW, still good to see him do some spots here and there.👍🏼

Okay. Wrestlemania 28, I was there. When Sheamus won the title, from where I was sitting everybody was in favor of it and I did not foresee any kind of riot starting. Royal Rumble 2015, also there.

[@duyphan4617]

Sad for roman. When he was still heel along with the Shield back in earlier 2014, he got one of the biggest pop in his career. Yet WWE chose Batista to be the winner of that year's RR. One year later, Roman won the RR of 2015 but got booed. I'm gonna be honest. I absolutely hated those booing him without reasons back then.

[@euphoricinnit]

the reason why ppl booed roman was bc of wwe’s bad booking decisions in trying to make roman the #1 guy in the company as a babyface

[@duyphan4617]

@@euphoricinnit well. i know. But some just hated just because. Some even went too far with the chanting. Example would be Payback 2017. To the point i felt ill for being one of IWC.

[@itsclobberingtime631]

He got booed because the fans seen that WWE was going to force this super baby face and give us John Cena all over again. Plus he's boring with no mic skills. He just isn't the guy. Today he's better. But hes not a main eventer.

[@duyphan4617]

@@itsclobberingtime631 well i agree for that. THey pushed Roman too fast. (FIY: Finn got pushed even WORSE than that. He just came to main roster and immediately got to the newly-made Universal Championship.) THough what i mean is some hating him back then were full of crap. Some were simply because they were DB's fanboys. To the point they booed not just Roman but also some other wrestlers despite the fact they didn't do anything. w

[@trewilliams8411]

Well that’s not fair for John Cena he was unjustly booed because he was a winner he freaking awesome character Cena is the freaking goat

I remember one that nearly caused a riot in TNA was when Jeff Jarrett won his second King Of The Mountain match dethroning Christian Cage, people were throwing trash into the ring and were about to riot.

Charlotte, despite being very talented, is one of the mos UNDESERVING of winners in WWE. WWE has buried many great women to make way for Charlotte and she has had more title runs than any one deserves. I quite honestly wish she'd leave

[@megamanxhunter]

You're 100% right. But I will add of all those women WWE has buried to make way for Charlotte, none of them had it worse than Asuka. Because even when they added Charlotte to the WM 35 main event, they still found a way to make her look good at Asuka's expense.

[@samhenderson6474]

​@@megamanxhunter That was the Women's equivalent of the Montreal Screwjob. How or why Asuka didn't just get up and leave is beyond me. Still wasn't the worst thing Charlotte did to Asuka or anyone associated with her. Looking at you TLC 2019.

Brock Lesnar winning last year's Royal Rumble, as well as the Elimination Chamber were also pretty dumb decisions.

[@RomaroBrandon]

I was fine with Becky Lynch defeating Bianca Belair. Having Lynch win was the right call and she would have inevitably won the title shortly after returning anyone.

[@DevanteMcDaniel]

No, I strongly disagree! Even if u do feel that way, there's no way in HELL it should have been 26 seconds!! That was just outright idiotic!

[@RomaroBrandon]

@@DevanteMcDaniel I can agree to it being a longer match (at least 10 minutes) but Becky Lynch still should have walked out with the title.

@@RomaroBrandon I disagree! It killed Bianca's momentum! I understand Becky coming back, & not losing, but they could have booked a stronger finish, that would have kept them both strong!
