There were several instances of Samoa Joe talking without moving his mouth during that main event. WWE must've wanted a different soundtrack for the "Greatest Wrestling Match Ever" to the one they got at ringside; that'd explain the odd visual of Joe freaking out when Tom Phillips was calmly explaining something too.

Kevin Dunn's production team in the truck didn't attempt to work around this too much, and that only made the commentary re-do more glaring. Either that or Samoa Joe is wrestling's finest purveyor of ventriloquism as well as a good colour commentator.
