Michael Cole reveals hilarious distraction he allowed at WWE Bad Blood

Michael Cole revealed a hilarious distraction he allowed himself at WWE Bad Blood earlier this month. The Premium Live Event aired live on October 5 from the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia.

In an interview with WFAN's Sal Licata, Cole admitted that he was watching a sports game while calling the action at WWE Bad Blood. The New York Mets are currently in the MLB playoffs, and Cole is an avid fan of the team. He disclosed that he was watching the game on his phone during Bad Blood, and Corey Graves kept looking over at him during the event.

"I have the game on, on my phone, at the announce desk at ringside, with the volume down. When I was doing Bad Blood, which was game one, I had the game on at the announce desk. My partner Corey Graves kept looking over at me and I was pumping my fist and jumping up and down while calling the action of the show," said Cole. [H/T: Fightful]
