The finish of Ricochet and Elias on RAW was reportedly botched. Elias was not supposed to have his shoulder up but since he did, Vince McMahon instructed the announcers to acknowledge that the referee made a bad call. Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline.com noted the following:
“They may do a rematch but I can tell you 100 percent that that was not supposed to happen and that was a Vince call. Vince is like that.”
“The plan is not to do anything from it. Vince may insist on it later. The ref botched it, Elias botched it. Elias was supposed to keep the shoulders down. He just didn’t, I don’t know why. The ref counted to three and he shouldn’t have and they called attention to it.”
