Professional wrestling is a tough business to break into. The drive for perfection pushes many wrestlers to take risks, perform incredible feats, and push their limits in pursuit of success. But sometimes, pushing too hard doesn’t always lead to the outcome you want.
In wrestling, especially during matches, mistakes happen. It could be a move gone wrong, a slip-up, or a missed spot, among other things. Commonly referred to as a botch, these mistakes can sometimes be hilarious, depending on how they play out.
Jey Uso’s Hilarious, Viral Fail on Raw
Jey Uso is known for his high-flying style. He often takes to the top rope to deliver some impressive moves. During his time in The Usos with his brother Jimmy, they were both known for their ability to soar off the ropes and over them to excite the crowd.
On the March 17 edition of Raw, Jey Uso faced Austin Theory in a quick match. Uso got the win over Theory, but Grayson Waller was lurking and tried to attack him — only to be met with a strong superkick.
With both Theory and Waller outside the ring, Uso ran the ropes, building momentum to leap over the top and take them out. Unfortunately, his momentum wasn’t quite what he thought, and he barely made it over the rope.
This misfire quickly went viral, sparking hilarious reactions on social media. Fans on X compared it to former WWE star Top Dolla’s infamous botch from 2022.

To Uso’s credit, he seemed to acknowledge the mishap himself afterward and laughed it off. But right after, Gunther attacked him. This time, though, Uso got the upper hand, sending Gunther retreating from the ring.
Uso’s Big Match at WrestleMania 41 With Gunther
Gunther and Uso are set to face off at WrestleMania 41 for the World Heavyweight Championship. Uso won the 2025 Royal Rumble, securing his spot in a main event title match at WWE’s biggest show. Gunther has had the upper hand in this feud, though, and may have Uso’s number.
However, Uso’s story feels like it could lead to redemption and victory at WrestleMania. Since becoming “Main Event” Jey Uso, he’s won the Intercontinental Championship, pinned his cousin Roman Reigns in a tag team match, and headlined SummerSlam against Reigns for the WWE title.
Uso has come close to doing it all, but the one thing he hasn’t accomplished yet is winning the World Heavyweight Championship or the WWE Championship. Gunther has been a dominant champion, but WrestleMania is where legends are made.
Can Gunther retain his title, or will Uso finally have his moment?
