The Show Kicked Off With A Technical Botch
As with every WWE Pay-Per-View or weekly show, Michael Cole usually does the introductions welcoming viewers to the broadcast right at the very beginning.
However, if one paid close attention, it was quite noticeable that Michael Cole's introductory sentences were being cut-off unintentionally.
What made the situation more apparent was when a person informed Michael Cole about the technical error and could be easily heard on TV as the person said- "They said your mic stopped working..."
Things resolved after the Nita Strauss/Lzzy Hale hardcore performance eventually. However, the situation still came off as quite bizarre given the fact that we were all witnessing a historic moment in professional wrestling.
While there were many other botches that followed later on during the show, this technical error during a historic Pay-Per-View's introduction will remain on video format forever.
