22 WTF Moments From WWE SmackDown (Oct 11)
8. Styles Lost Before He Actually Lost
Ellsworth and Styles were battling away on the floor and as all responsible referees should, Dean Ambrose started a 10 count - only his was going about five times faster than any normal one.
AJ realised pretty early on how quick Dean was going and proceeded to hurriedly throw Ellsworth under the bottom rope. However, he was actually counted out himself. I'm not messing with you, go back and watch the footage.
Dean stopped his count at around the six or seven mark, but a lady in the crowd continued counting at the speed The Lunatic Fringe set out on. She counted to 10, Ellsworth was safely back in the ring but AJ wasn't. AJ lost by countout, not via the pin fall he would eventually lose to.
Ultimately, of course, this didn't matter anyway because Styles would go on to lose. The match should have ended way earlier than it did though. That's all I'm saying.
