Major botch in WWE title match; new Champion should have been crowned

Damian Priest defended his World Heavyweight Championship against Seth Rollins at WWE Money in the Bank earlier tonight and was very lucky to be heading to the backstage area with his title still around his waist.

Before Drew McIntyre headed out to the ring to cash in his WWE MITB contract and turn the singles bout into a Triple Threat Match, Rollins hit a Falcon Arrow and it seemed like he was able to get the three count on Priest, since the champion failed to kick out.

As seen from the video below, Priest didn't kick out or move for the three count but the referee reacted as though he did and called it just a two-count. Even the challenger looked shocked after this call from the official.

Seth Rollins should have won the match and been crowned the WWE World Heavyweight Champion following the error, but instead, the referee did what he had to do because he knew Drew McIntyre would arrive soon.

It's unclear if Priest forgot to kick out or if there was a delay in McIntyre's music hitting. Either way, many fans have picked up on the fact that the champion hadn't kicked out, but there is now no option for a rematch for Rollins as he made the stipulation that if he lost he wouldn't challenge again while Damian Priest was still champion.
