What happens if they botch?

Question

Say it was a Royal Rumble and the planned winner was Randy Orton. You know how in those matches every wrestler gets almost pushed off the edge, but some manage to hang on? What if Randy Orton wasn't able to hold on and fell and hit the ground? Do they pick a different winner or what?

Answer 1

They probably have a back up plan like if the final 2 were supposed to be Randy and Batista and Randy couldn't hold on then Batista would get the win, and the writers would find a way to put Orton in the main event of wrestlemania.

Answer 2

the ref would get instructions by vince through his ear piece and the ref would inform the wrestlers of his wishes.... it depends on how many was left when he accidentalls they fell out....

either the the wrestler would land on 1 foot and say hes still in and hed go on to win it

but if 2 feet hits the floor i'd say vince would have pick a new winner very quikly and make them have a orton vs mysterio type of match (the one at no way out 2006) ... where the wiinner of the rumble vs the guy that was suppose to win

bit harsh on the winner of the rumble but sh*t happens lol

Starred ****

Answer 3

I guess they would do a "Mr. Kennedy loses his MIB to Edge the next night" type of angle.  (Not saying that Kennedy wasnt meant to win that MIB; that would be pretty hard to botch, lol)

Answer 4

right because ur bursting to knw i rang my cousins matt n jeff hardy well actually i rang matt he sed tht they pik 1 winner and 2 understudies until its just them 3 or 2 left

Answer 5

i'd say yeah because what else could they do in that situation.  they can't just throw em back in there.  the remaining wrestlers probably say who's gonna win during an irish whip or something.  or maybe if theres more people to still come out from the back, the boss tells them that there gonna win.  for the most part though they have back up plans for everything in WWE if something goes amiss  

Answer 6

Very interesting but maybe in  that situation i think they would have the final two people knock each other out the ring like bret hart & lex luger did then have some kind of tourney in which orton would win and go to wrestlemania and challenge for a title.
