Is Jonathan Coachman trying to get fired? In addition to the residual ESPN scandal that still looms over him, he attempted to cover a mistake with a big WWE no-no. A big, big f*cking no-no.

During the number one contender's match on this week's RAW, The Revival eliminated the fairly massive Rhyno from the fray. Incidentally, The Revival were then eliminated by Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel. And some people said they weren't weren't f*cked after RAW25. When the fairly slight Bo Dallas attempted to eliminate eventual winner Braun Strowman, Coach both botched and buried Rhyno as a chancer. Practically guffawing, Coach asked "Is Rhyno going to WrestleMania?" When Michael Cole and Corey Graves buried him right back, Coach said that Dallas "looks like" Rhyno from the back before blaming, hilariously, the "horrible, horrible camera work". He wasn't wrong, not at all, but you don't bury Kevin Dunn if you want to stay employed. He wields enough power to demote you if you dare speak anything other than General American in his bloody headset. Maybe next week Coach will offer to mentor Stephanie McMahon.

That should get him fired.
