The Royal Rumble matches are remembered by fans for multiple reasons. The excitement for the match continues to be year-round, as the stipulation has been around for almost four decades. However, one moment from the 2005 edition will live in infamy as one of the funniest moments from the Rumble, featuring Dave Bautista, John Cena, and WWE Chairman Vince McMahon.

Batista was scheduled to win the match by eliminating John Cena, as this was his crowning moment. Unfortunately, while executing a powerbomb, both superstars fell down over the top rope at the exact same time. Cena and Batista were visibly confused as to what would happen now. The referees tried to cover up the botch, but could not come up with a solid conclusion.

Vince McMahon, who was backstage, came down to the ring, walking angrily. As soon as he touched the ring and tried to stand in the ring, his quads burst, and both quads gave up at the same time. Therefore, even in extreme pain, Vince sat down awkwardly in the ring and started giving instructions. After McMahon had told both superstars what to do, the match was restarted, and Dave Bautista won the match in a conclusive manner.

Over the years, many superstars have given their accounts of the story, revealing that Vince McMahon was furious after the incident but still walked all by himself with torn quads. On the other hand, John Cena and Dave Bautista turned out to be two of the biggest stars for WWE for a decade to come. Both won multiple World Championships in the company. Moreover, both superstars won the Royal Rumble twice.

Vince McMahon’s son Shane McMahon suffered the same fate

Almost 18 years after Vince tore his quads on live television, his son, Shane McMahon, followed suit. During a WrestleMania 39 segment with The Miz and Snoop Dogg, it was revealed that The Miz has to take on someone immediately. The same had happened on Night One when the A-Lister faced a returning Pat McAfee.

Therefore, on Night Two, the mystery opponent turned out to be Shane McMahon.The crowd had a mixed welcome for Shane as he returned to the ring after over a year. Immediately as the match started, Shane McMahon tore his quads just like his father in an awkward yet hilarious fashion.

Snoop Dogg and The Miz covered up for the botch and entertained the crowd. However, in the press conference after the event, Triple H revealed that Shane had indeed injured his quads.

This was an awkward moment, as Shane had returned to the ring for the first time in over a year and got injured instantly. Fans online started hilariously roasting him and comparing him with his father, who also tore his quads back in 2005.
