Former WWE manager Dutch Mantell recently spoke about Michin botching a move in the ring. The star was on the opening matchup on SmackDown this Friday.

Michin faced Tiffany Stratton in the Women's United States Championship semi-finals this week. Despite going in as the underdog, she pulled through and picked up the victory. However, when Stratton went for the Prettiest Moonsault Ever, instead of rolling out, the 35-year-old star rolled into the move and it seemed like she no-sold the finisher.

This week on Sportskeeda Wrestling's Smack Talk, Mantell questioned how Michin could botch such a simple maneuver. The former WWE manager felt she just had to roll away but rather, decided to roll into the move, catching the full impact.

"How can you intend to roll away and you roll into that? How can you do that? How's that dumb?" [From 14:09 onwards]

Despite the botch, Michin is now a finalist and is just one win away from becoming the inaugural Women's United States Champion.

The star will face Chelsea Green in the finals at WWE Saturday Night's Main Event on December 14.
