Asuka hit Ripley with a DDT on the ring apron that sent both tumbling to the ground. That left them ripe for Charlotte Flair's match-ending attack (she pushed the pair into the steel ring steps), but something caught this fan's eye right before that.

The referee was counting Asuka and Rhea out as they fought on the apron. He reached a count of four, then paused to demand they get back into the ring. One Asuka DDT later though and he reset the count to one even though they hadn't managed to break the original.
