#2 Ricochet vs Elias

Both Ricochet and Elias were part of SummerSlam last night, with the latter being the victim of both a spear by Edge and then a number of brutal chair shots at the hands of Kevin Owens, so their obvious fatigue could be overlooked since SummerSlam was less than 24 hours ago.

Ricochet interrupted Elias this week on Raw and the duo then had quite the match before there were a number of botches that made it to air. Elias completely dropped Ricochet at one point, before The One and Only picked him up and re-did the spot, which made it clear that it was a botch.

The ending of the match also saw the referee get in on the action as he counted a pinfall on Elias when his shoulder was quite obviously still up. Corey Graves pulled the official up on this whilst he was on commentary, but since Elias later went on to win the 24/7 Championship and Ricochet is now apparently helping Seth Rollins, it doesn't appear that this was an ending that was supposed to happen as part of this match.
