2. The Distraction Finish Caused Ambrose To Lose

The worst finish in pro wrestling is when there's a match going on, somebody's music plays or the lights go out and then the match continues while the distracting people cause a wrestler to lose.

In this case, Dean Ambrose was against Sheamus when Bray Wyatt showed up on the ramp while Luke Harper was standing on the announce table. Instead of focusing on his match with Sheamus, Ambrose wanted to go after them. That led to Sheamus hitting two Brogue Kicks in a row to get the win that was tainted, but still significant for him.

Where was Roman Reigns? Not there apparently. Ambrose saved him on Raw, yet Reigns was nowhere to be seen on Smackdown.

At least Ambrose had a funny way of adding to the "you look stupid" chant that follows Sheamus everywhere he goes by pointing out that Sheamus does, in fact, look stupid.
