5 Times WWE Superstars forgot their lines and what happened next
The two most crucial aspects of pro-wrestling are the action that takes place in the squared circle and the promos that wrestlers cut on the mic. Over the course of the past several decades, we have seen WWE Superstars cut a string of promos on live TV and PPVs.
A select few of these promos have gained iconic status and fans still watch these segments with awe and amazement. The Austin 3:16 promo, CM Punk's Pipebomb, and Ric Flair's promo after winning the 1992 Royal Rumble match immediately come to mind when one talks about some of the best promos of all time.
On the other hand, there are instances when a WWE Superstars forgets their lines on live TV/PPV. In most cases, this results in an awkward visual, as the botch is witnessed by thousands of fans in the arena. In the following slideshow, we will take a look at five times WWE Superstars forgot their lines, and what happened next.

Back in late 2017, Roman Reigns and John Cena got into a rivalry and the feud culminated in a blockbuster match at WWE No Mercy 2017. In the weeks leading up to the event, Cena and Reigns engaged in a war of words on a few occasions.
While Reigns bashed Cena and said that his time on the top is over, the WWE veteran didn't hold back while insulting The Big Dog and stated that he came back because Reigns can't do his job properly.
