During the most recent episode of WWE SmackDown, an unexpected event took place in the match between Chelsea Green and Zelina Vega as reported by Pwinsider. In an unintended turn of events, Green was declared counted out while she was distracted, engaged in a verbal altercation with spectators and commentators.
A number of inside sources have confirmed that the count-out was by no means a scripted event – Green did not appear to notice the referee’s ten count, assuming the match would resume after she tossed Vega back into the ring. Due to this oversight, the referee was left with no alternative but to declare the match over.
The cause behind the unexpected ending wasn’t due to an injury or other problem — it was simply a miscommunication during the live telecast. Although the plan was for the match to last a bit longer, Vega was always destined to be the winner. Thus, even with this unforeseeable event, the conclusion still aligned with the upcoming narrative leading to a six-woman tag match commencing next week in Las Vegas.
To wrap up, backstage sources have disclosed that no one was disgruntled by the incident, acknowledging that unpredictable moments like these are part and parcel of live television broadcasting.
