"Beth Phoenix is a botch machine" - WWE Universe reacts to Hall of Famer's in-ring return at Elimination Chamber

Beth Phoenix's in-ring return at Elimination Chamber wasn't everything she hoped

WWE Hall of Famers Edge and Beth Phoenix were victorious over Rhea Ripley and Finn Balor tonight at Elimination Chamber, but the match included a number of botches. This led to fans on Twitter reacting to the mistakes on the microblogging site.

The first came when the referee was set to count the three after Edge was hit with a pair of brass knuckles, but he counted to three and missed the last one before Phoenix broke the pin.

The botches continued as Edge dived out of the ring to take out Dominik Mysterio, who was at ringside, but completely missed the target.

The WWE Universe has been reacting to both of these botches online, with several blaming Phoenix for being late to end the count. However, the referee was also at fault since he should have continued the count if she wasn't there to break up the pin.

It is unclear who was at fault for the dive botch, but it appears to have been an issue of timing between the two men. The mixed tag team bout at Elimination Chamber was Phoenix's first match in more than a year, so she was expected to have a level of ring rust.
