On Wednesday night, a referee botch in the match between PAC and Trent was the main taking point of the show and once again, it appears that a referee botch has become the biggest angle. In the match between Riho and Emi Sakura for the AEW Women's Championship the referee actually counted to three a few minutes before the actual finish.

It is unknown as to why the referee counted one before jumping up and counting another two, and there was no kick out in the middle of this, so the official seemingly just decided to jump up in the middle of the count.

The match itself was a solid student vs teacher match that showed that Sakura had done a fantastic job of training Riho over the years, and now the latter had reached the point where she was able to overcome her own coach.

Sadly, even though the match was one of the best that Riho has had in her AEW career, the main thing that fans will be talking about will be the fact that the referee decided to stop mid-way through the count.
