2 Interesting Botches You Probably Missed This Week On SmackDown Live (February 19th, 2019)
SmackDown Live saw the return of many stars from NXT who have dominated WWE TV this week, as well as the fall out from Elimination Chamber. Kofi Kingston was the story of the men's Elimination Chamber match despite not winning the WWE Championship in the main event of the night.
Whilst this week's episode of SmackDown Live was as explosive as ever, there were still a number of interesting botches on the night. Triple H introduced Aleister Black, Johnny Gargano, Tommaso Ciampa, and Ricochet to the SmackDown Live brand and interestingly the botches that have been pulled up from last night's show actually feature a number of these stars.
#2 Aleister Black and Andrade
Aleister Black took on Andrade on SmackDown Live this week with his real-life wife Zelina Vega at ringside, but this wasn't enough to see Black finish the match without incident. The night before on Raw, Black was able to hit a fantastic Black Mass on Elias to record quite the victory on his main roster debut and whilst he followed that up with another win on SmackDown Live, the ending of the match was a huge botch.
Black went to drop Andrade onto the top rope but he was too far out and ended up only dropping him on his arms, the follow-up Black Mass looked very awkward as it seems that Andrade only remembered the spot late, but Black was still able to pick up the win off the back of it.
It is unknown where this leaves the new NXT call-ups now since they have not been drafted to either brand, but Black has made enough of an impression already for this to be overlooked.
