Botched!: Sasha vs. Steps, Lynch Kick, More

Hi, hello & welcome to Botched! It’s been another wild week in the world of wrestling & we’re heading right into WWE SummerSlam! Did anything weird happen along the way? You know it did! Dave Meltzer probably had the biggest botch of the week, but we’re not here to talk about that…

1. Sasha vs. Steps: Sometimes you just don’t want to take a bump. Sasha Banks had no real interest in smashing her body into the steel steps.

Hey, I wouldn’t either! Bouncing off steel’s gotta suck. Save that stuff for the PPV, which…well, remember when people were saying that they were saving Sasha vs. Bayley for SummerSlam because of their NXT match in Brooklyn? Ah, funny stuff.

2. Speaking of not wanting to take bumps…: Who wants to take a double boot to the gut? Clearly not Diamante Azul at this CMLL show in Arena Puebla on Monday.

Though, let’s be honest, even if he ran closer there’s no way both of those boots were connecting unless he was Super Porky.

3. The wind knocked Sonya down: Becky Lynch’s kicks generate so much force that the wind is enough to knock opponents like Sonya Deville down.

Tough to think that Carmella or Charlotte stand much of a chance on Sunday.

4. 590 > 600 apparently: Does Tom Phillips listen to his own ring announcer? Either he doesn’t, or he just sucks at math.

Then Maffew botches his own post by putting 580 instead of 590. Jeez, I’m just shooting on all the internet icons this week.

5. SummerSlam Plug : SummerSlam’s this Sunday! Here’s a plug from a WWE Network e-mail sent to God knows how many people.

To be fair, Ziggler’s hair is so pretty these days that even Carmella can’t say she looks better than him.
