Oh, come on.

Distraction finishes happen in professional wrestling. It’s ridiculous to think that professionally trained athletes get distracted so easily – football and baseball players perform in front of tens of thousands of spectators who are cheering, jeering and heckling and they still manage to do their job. But then again, we’re expected to believe that there are undead wrestling morticians.

Regardless, Bobby Roode and Chad Gable had just finished talking about how much their Raw Tag Team Championship match meant to them, and then they spent a solid two minutes watching the screen, transfixed by Drake Maverick. Naturally, Roode fell victim to a blindside, and one neckbreaker/powerbomb later, AOP retained their titles.

But that wasn’t even the worst part of this little segment.
