WWE Hall of Famer Bully Ray examined the chaotic ending of the WWE SmackDown title match between Sami Zayn and Kevin Owens. Despite Zayn retaining his title, confusion arose when a referee's count was unclear after CM Punk interfered. Bully Ray noted that the referee's hand appeared to hit the mat three times, but no bell rang to signal the end. Zayn then had to execute a Helluva Kick for what ultimately became a successful pin. The match's YouTube version has since been corrected to reflect the issues observed during the broadcast.
