Yet not as weird as this.

During the Raw Tag Title bout between The Hurt Business and the cobbled-together team of Braun and Adam Pearce, Tom Phillips noted that the referee was keeping a close eye on things. Except, he didn't say that. Nah, Tom said, "The official's on top of it - not officially". What?

Christ knows what the play-by-play man was on about here. He's supposed to be the voice of the viewer, and have a firm grasp on what's happening at all times. This line didn't fit, and it contradicted itself. How could the official unofficially officiate the match?
