Do you think Damian Priest was knocked out, waited for Drew’s music or simply just forgot?

Damien Priest was exhausted trying to kick out in them tight ass pants

“It makes no sense for the referee or Seth Rollins to break the pin because they heard Drew McIntyre’s music, that’s stupid.”
Have you seen WWE before? Referees get distracted by the most simplest of things, including other people’s music. For example: look at Survivor Series 2014 where Scott Armstrong could have counted the 3 count by Rollins on Dolph Ziggler but he got distracted by Sting’s music the entire time.

Yeah the referee is gonna have some explaining to do on RAW 😂😂😂 or maybe Damian just botched and forgot to kickout

[Hardy]

It’s clear that Drew’s music was supposed to hit during the pin

[PhillAccio]

A couple things here:
This ref was smartened up to but normally Refs are told to count legit. Its on the wrestlers to kick out. DP shouldve kicked regardless.
2: Production switched the lights and didn't cue the music. That 1 second stained an already rocky title run.

[Nuke.n]

Maybe WWE will try to damage control on next raw by showing us that the referee was set by the judgement day

[sidchat]

They should angle it on Raw by saying that either Liv or Finn paid off the Ref

[mike_asgh]

The deal between Rollins and Priest was that if Rollins wins, Priest is out of the Judgement Day and if Priest wins, Rollins will never get another world title shot again. But then when McIntyre got involved with the cash in and Punk getting in the way, I hope it doesn't count and Rollins can still challenge for the title, just to fix this messy finish for the world title match. Until then, McIntyre winning MITB made no sense.

[RazzleRyan]

They could say that Liv Morgan or Finn Bálor paid off the referee

[JustJefferson]

Priest looked stunned like he was flashed there for a second. You see him shake his hand and come to right after…. Looked like he was flashed maybe by the knee

[jayjaybulldog]

That botch from the referee was so bad you can tell that it even shocked Seth Rollins. It didn’t make sense for him to stop at a 2 count just to hear Drew’s music if Damien wasn’t gonna kick out.

It's like HHH said, the fans will always focus on the negatives more than the positives.

And also, how are you doing? Mentally you know most content creators normally don’t have people asking them this but you know I would like to check on you because you’re content has kept me uplifted and happy and in a good mental state, and I just want to return the favor

The music didn't hit at the right time
Production has to do better and be on point bc that makes things wired

[williamcoslosky]

Bro was concussed. He was blinking and flickering his fingers to signal he was injured.

[mattrobinson]

1:32 how was the production team supposed to change such a convoluted and consequential finish in 10 seconds? If the ref counts to 3 then he is responsible for Punk failing to get heat with both Drew & Seth and forcing Priest out of Judgment Day. The ref had no choice.

[JakobWard]

Solo pinning cody makes so much sense because solo said on a recent episode of smackdown that roman couldn't pin cody at wrestlemania so they booked solo to pin cody so that solo could prove a point that he can pin cody but roman can't

[lowki]

HHH already said that it was a production issue... Drew's music didn't play on time. I'm not a fan of the music breaking the pin but that's the way HHH booked it. Also whenever a wrestler is getting pinned they tend to look at the ref to see them count. Priest was looking at the ramp because he was expecting drew/the next cue in the match.

[WardenofKaos]

I know HHH probably wants to give Sami a legitimate championship run because he's been one of the better parts of WWE since 2021, but its starting to get a bit annoying having the same story of people underestimating him and Sami defies the odds as the underdog. I dont know how long he's going to be IC champ, but they can't keep cutting other wrestlers' momentum off just to create longer title reigns. Chad should've won the belt at CatC, but now he's stuck in a seemingly directionless feud with the Wyatts. Bron should've won the belt here to continue he young Brock Lesner-like rise, but instead, he got cut off by the underdog, which could potentially kill most of his momentum unless he challenges Samimqgain at Summerslam.
