What if the Seljuks had defeated the Georgians in the Battle of Basiani? Read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Basiani.
It was definitely plausible. While it ended in a Georgian victory, the Battle of Basiani was very close, inflicting heavy casualties on both sides, and Georgian sources admit that the Georgians were almost defeated at one point.
I imagine one effect of this would be the Georgian Golden Age ending even earlier than in our timeline.
