RAW Diva Discussion

As we are a week away from Summerslam we have two diva matches in the work for the ppv what do you expect to happen tonight?

That match was horrible with AJ and Nattie. How they botched that finish.

I think it was the referees fault. No one botched. That or AJ was supposed to tap earlier.

I watched it back and I think Natalya thought AJ had already tapped. The referee definitely should've called for the bell though so it wasn't so awkward.

Yeah the ref botched that I thought the match was pretty boring.

I don't blame the ref at all if he calls for the bell at the point where she taps he get yelled at backstage cause your champion just tapped out to a hold she was already out of. Nattie and AJ's fault not the ref I wouldn't of called for the bell to have Vince yell at me for making his champion look worse. I blame both wrestlers Nattie should never of released till after she is tapped for a while.

I got to give WWE some credit. I guess Nikki ain't cleared to return to the ring So we get Brie vs Nattie. No tag match so good move by WWE. I mean Having a diva who is being traiend in Eva and A person who ain't a wrestler put into a match could of went very bad.

Natalya vs Brie Bella should of been the pre show point blank.
Also CP it was Clearly the refs fault he wasnt paying attention he was too busey with Horrnswoggle.Theres no debate about it and AJ was tapping for awhile which is why Natalya thought she won the match then.

If you rewind cause I have watched this 5 times it you can see he is actually in her face when she is tapping looking at her in the eyes the problem is at that point she decides to tap Nattie already let go of the hold because she thought the tap was when she was clawing at the ring. He then turns around and I think he told the bell keeper either signals to ring or not ring the bell. Where your saying he is looking at hornswoggle. I think he was trying to bail them out of it.

Another thing, this is Natalya's second win over AJ...she is next in line for a title shot damn it!

CP you can believe what you want to believe you can see what you want to see but in reality your gonna have to realize that what you see aint what it really is.

Aj taps after she let's go of the hold. I don't know if she thought she tapped or she lost control of the hold but when she is tapping Nattie already released her feet when she starts. No Matter what decision the ref made at that point this match wasn't gonna go good and people would of been upset with her tapping to a hold already being let go of or the ref not calling. Either Way at the end of it all The finish was sloppy and could of been done a lot better. With this being one of the first matches I seen between AJ and Nattie. It don't make me want to see a second one if they can't get the styles to mesh on a finish. IE I think if I was Nattie I would of had AJ beat me after the botch finish to make it look like a strong heel move for AJ. Get Nattie some sampathy They could of had a rematch on Smackdown or next week where Nattie would of went over.

I rewatched this again I can't tell where the ref face is but to me it would be hard to imagine he wasn't look at AJ Lee cause his hand was almost infront of her face. I can't see his face based on the angle That being said I think someone who is there actually reported That he was turned away. We can ask Silva when he gets back cause he was at the show.

Wrestlezone just reported this

-- As many of you saw on RAW this week, there was a major botch during the AJ Lee/Natalya/Khali/Langston mixed tag-team match. AJ Lee clearly tapped out but the referee had his back turned and didn't see it. Natalya quietly asked the referee to declare her the winner but he told her to re-do it. For those unaware, all WWE referees wear an earpiece where they are told time limits, spots, etc. The referee was clearly told from the back to restart the match and they did just that. Natalya won for a second time. Oooops!

I didn't see the match, and didn't DVR RAW, but why would they do the exact same finish? Maybe have AJ counter the sharpshooter the second time, and have Nattie win with small package or something like that? Are finishes that set in stone?

Completely the referee's fault. He was obviously not looking at the two of them when the Sharpshooter was locked in. It was an embarrassing situation to be involved in anyway. If you're refereeing a tag match, you only take your eyes off the people in the ring if one of the partners actively tries to distract you
