Some wrestling commentators don't like to know match finishes ahead of time. If you were wondering whether Michael Cole is one of them, then SmackDown had some answers for you. The lead play-by-play man called Cesaro's submission win over Murphy early.

He shouted, "Murphy taps out" before the returning sidekick had actually done it. Both Corey Graves and table guest Seth Rollins pointed out that MC just got excited. Graves literally called it "pre-emptive" work from his broadcast partner.

Interesting.
