#1 Blame the referee

Monday Night Raw went off of the air in controversial fashion. Bray Wyatt was pinned by two men at once. Both Finn Balor and Seth Rollins grabbed a leg and leaned on the body of The Eater of Worlds. The ref counted to three and the match was over. It was an ending that left everyone confused and it never really had to if the official would've sized up the situation better.

WWE has reinforced many times recently how the ref's decisions are final, so why couldn't this guy refuse to count the fall because of the stalemate outcome it would've created? As far as he knew in that moment, there was literally one spot remaining for the Elimination Chamber and he let two men end the match with a claim to victory.

In the end, Kurt Angle ruled that they'd both enter the Chamber. Since Balor and Rollins are fantastic wrestlers, then it's all worked out for the good in the end. But still, the refs should at least consider these outcomes in the future.
