WWE RAW: 3 Botches and mistakes you missed this week (October 28th, 2019)
Crown Jewel is now merely days away and after a controversial week for WWE, the company decided to kick off the show in style by welcoming back their Women's Division. Last week's episode failed to include the women as the build-up to Crown Jewel intensified, but given the backlash the company received, they decided to kick off the show with a full on heel turn from The Kabuki Warriors.
Given the recent actions of Jordan Myles, Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair were seemingly bumped up to the first hour as well, as the match this Thursday night at Crown Jewel was given its final build-up ahead of the show.
From start to finish, it was another stacked episode of Monday Night RAW, but there were some botches and mistakes fans may have missed.
#3. The bell rang before she even tapped
As noted above, the women kicked off the show last night, as Becky Lynch took on Kairi Sane. There were a number of awkward moments throughout the match, including one where Sane and Lynch stared at each other in the middle of the ring for a few seconds when it was made clear that someone forgot their spot.
The biggest botch in their encounter actually came in the closing stages of the bout when Lynch locked in her patented submission and Sane then tapped. It all looked acceptable from the hard cam feed, but when WWE played the replay from another angle, it was made clear that the referee had called for the bell when the move was locked in, which was before Sane actually tapped.
Could this be the way that Sane gets a rematch since the bell rang before the Women's Tag Team Champion actually submitted?
