Short one here, but Lance Archer successfully scared the crap out of ring announcer Justin Roberts before his TNT Title match with Miro. Archer sprinted up behind Justin, spooked him and stopped the announcement dead.

Roberts managed to regain his composure by the time the champ emerged. What a pro, but this was almost a Bobby Heenan and Brian Pillman, "What the f*ck are you doing?!" moment.

17. Aubrey Edwards Counting Post-Match

Archer had already passed out and referee Aubrey Edwards had already called for the bell when she started counting Miro again. Some fans might be confused by that, but Edwards was threatening to reverse her decision on the win if the reigning champ didn't break his hold before five.

That's some nifty attention to detail right there from an official.

Referee Paul Turner held the brand new AEW Women's Title aloft before Hikaru Shida vs. Britt Baker, and this was the first time fans had been given a good, long look at the new design. It has a slightly larger central plate, and only two sideplates on either side instead of three.

The new belt looks a lot better because of the increased size - this was a real winner of a shot.
