1* BrokenBase: The fallout from the now infamous Titus-Vince incident on the night of Wrestling/DanielBryan's retirement. Opinions vary on WWE's handling of the incident [[note]]Titus was first suspended for 90 days, which still would have been a slap on the wrist given that Vince initially wanted to ''fire him outright''. The suspension was eventually cut down to 60 days - and ironically, Titus finally got a shot at a singles title after he came back.[[/note]] from "What Titus did was stupid and he got what he deserved," through "What Titus did was stupid, but [[DisproportionateRetribution Vince completely overreacted]]" to people who thought Titus should quit outright because Vince's reaction was so egregious ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PGoPDWVP8Ag a notable example]] of someone holding this view being one [[Wrestling/{{Batista}} Dave Bautista]]), to people implying that an offender on a higher spot on the card - or an offender with a different skin color - wouldn't have been handled that way.
2* EnsembleDarkhorse: Titus among the IWC is seen as a potential star being held back.
3* MemeticMutation:
4** Titus' accidental trip and slide below the ring at the ''[[Wrestling/RoyalRumble Greatest Royal Rumble]]'' in 2018, a.k.a. the "trip heard 'round the world,". Even the WWE tried to capitalize on this botch, including [[https://youtu.be/nb3YjR3D7MI backstage interviews with other WWE members about it]], a FunTShirt saying "[[https://www.sportskeeda.com/wwe/titus-o-neil-s-royal-rumble-fall-commemorated-with-a-hilarious-t-shirt Rumble, Stumble, Or Slide - Do It Worldwide]]," and [[https://youtu.be/AWCzdNwz0hk including a callback to it on the April 30, 2018 episode of RAW]].
5** His stunned reaction after the Firefly Funhouse match at Wrestlemania 36, which pretty much mirrored ''everyone's''.
6* NeverLiveItDown:
7** Titus kissing his son on the lips after losing a match to Wrestling/{{Rusev|AndLana}} on Father's Day. ''[=WrestleTalk=]'' made something of a RunningGag of it by having presenter Oli Davis ''always'' remind viewers of it whenever discussing O'Neil.
8** Him accidentally [[https://youtu.be/K2Sz2aZ6uuc sliding underneath the ring instead of into it]] during the ''Greatest Royal Rumble'' seems to be heading this way. Even years later, it's the only thing that anyone ever really remembers about the event.
