#1 How is this a pin?
It's hard to judge this one, but surely even as a crooked official, the Superstar has to have their shoulders on the mat in order for the three count to be recorded? This week on SmackDown Live, Kevin Owens took on Samoa Joe and could have easily picked up the victory following a Pop-Up Powerbomb if it wasn't for special guest enforcer Elias.
The 24/7 Champion then entered the ring and distracted Owens enough for Joe to attempt a roll-up but Owens didn't actually roll onto his shoulders so even though this was a fast count and Elias then ran away before Owens could further attack him, it shouldn't have counted.
Elias has already been part of one major botch this week when the end of his match on Raw was seen as a huge error because his shoulder was up during the three count, could Vince McMahon have spotted that this was another error from Elias on SmackDown Live?
This will obviously go on to become an on-going storyline, but if Elias is going to be an official then he needs to ensure that he's at least attempting to uphold some of the rules.
