#4. Hope is true: WWE veteran Mickie James' status after bizarre finish to RAW Women's title match

A weird finish.
A weird finish.

WWE veteran Mickie James took on Asuka in a rematch four years in the making. It was an exciting bout but had a rather bizarre finish, as Asuka was in a position to be pinned, only for the WWE referee to call the match in her favor.

Mickie James seemed a bit flustered towards the end, and everyone, including the commentators, were confused about what went down. There was instant speculation that it could have been abruptly ended due to an injury, with Mick Foley even stating that he heard Mickie James might have injured her shoulder.

However, Bryan Alvarez of WON tweeted that Mickie James is fine and that it was the WWE official who made the incorrect call by ending it too quickly:

It's an unfortunate botch from the WWE referee, but these kinds of things happen. However, about her not being injured, we certainly hope that's true and that we see her return to WWE TV quickly.
