We need more ref issues like this honestly cause it creates stories and creates opportunities for guest refs and alternative matches to solve much like Earl vs the establishment

[Captain_Subpar]

I feel like this is a hallmark of Hunter being in charge. He doesn't treat the fans like they're stupid. He knows there was a mess up so he acknowledged it and used it to set up an awesome rematch. I'm down.

[adrirajdatta]

Thank God that WWE have acknowledged the fact

[romegrey]

Idk if this was ab accident or what but to acknowledge it like this is great. It doesn't lie to the fans, it shows the fans are listened to and it lets this dream match happen again

[sawalnuwa]

It purposely done, a plan to protect Randy Orton. Genius move from WWE

[andregordon]

Hunter is really good at this. I have no idea if this is a work or a shoot, and im frankly happy if its either

[bmoney]

Great way to move gunther to the world title picture gunter vs priest is going be a classic.

[maris-stellanewport]

The ref, made the wrong call, shoulder was up and even Triple H said it back stage

[LavaDemon]

At least they acknowledged it though. Orton will probably still get his shot at Cody for the Undisputed WWE championship because let's face it, we all know that main event would definitely sell out a PPV.

[hnath]

It's a new era guys. They acknowledged that Randy's shoulder was up, now they going to restart the main event of WM35.

[MichaelBullins]

Triple H is perfect for this job and the company is in great hands! Well done sir

[shawnmichaels]

I wish the match had a proper ending, Thought it was a great match from start to finish.

[sepnova]

An actual wrestling match with two VERY talented wrestlers with a ref controversy finish. This company is starting to head full speed in the right direction. Thank you HHH.

[paulruano]

Gunter, he is a heel.

But he is the type of heel that has honour, discipline and respect.
And he is a talented technical wrestler.

[leostar]

Gunther vs Orton II at Clash Of The Castle.

[Three-Headed-Monkey]

I do love that even if this were a mistake, I like that they address it like a real sport and can spin a story and produce and angle out of it.

[thomaswatt]

Sound like Randy going get that shot at Cody Rhodes

[urfriendjimbo]

“didnt really even seem controversial to me it just seemed like randy ortons shoulder wasnt down” love the honesty from the boss. i vote a rematch at clash at the castle and then a triple threat for the title at summer slam.

[dudeman]

It’s nice that they acknowledged this! When I was watching I saw it right away and thought it was weird the ref didn’t try to get Gunther to move Randy’s shoulder down. I still wanna see Randy get title number 15 and 16 before he is done but not sure if he will be able to with Cody as champion

[salsacalente]

They had to give it to Gunther, they can't have 2 smackdown winners
