#1 Worst: Sami Dane and Lack of Logic

As is tradition, let’s begin with a Michael Cole botch

Michael Cole made only one major botch today, but what a botch it was. During the Sami Zayn vs Braun Strowman match, Cole referred to Zayn as Sami Dane. We know that Sami Zayn is a Canadian wrestler with Syrian origins. Looks like he has ties with Denmark too!

Something that irked us through the show was the utter lack of logic through the entirety of the pay-per-view. Why did the ring announcer call Sami Zayn the winner of the contest for lasting 10 minutes against Braun Strowman?

Since neither man was pinned, shouldn’t it technically be a draw? If Strowman not squashing Zayn in 10 minutes would have made him the loser, this stipulation should have been specified beforehand.

Crazier still was Chris Jericho interfering in the main event and hitting the Codebreaker on Kevin Owens. While it made for a great storyline swerve, why subject your best friend to a painful move if you’re still aligned with him?

As always, WWE logic makes absolutely no sense.
