2. THAT Chair Shot

OK, this needs a mention.

Social media is ANGRY AND IN THE MOOD TO LET EVERYONE KNOW ABOUT IT. Nothing new there, but a botched chair shot from Willow Nightingale on Skye Blue did look really bad. Kudos to Tony Schiavone for pointing out that Skye "got her hands up". The commentary team couldn't exactly avoid the obvious.

'Why draw attention to one soft spot?', you might be asking. It looked awful, that's why. It was actually the worst spot of the match, but think of this as a minor 'Down'. Everything else both women tried went off without a hitch, and bad timing does happen even with the best wrestlers on the planet. Mistakes are mistakes.

This guy just wanted to mention the botch due to the volume of chatter about it on X. Check out the 'Ups' section to see why it's worth overlooking what Blue and Nightingale flubbed early on. It's a real pity that one error has caused so many to ignore what happened next.
