"Those chair shots were needed" - Get all the IPLT20 Highlights upto date

Ring of Honor’s Final Battle pay-per-view has apparently already suffered a botch, leading to an unplanned loss for Rush and Dralístico.

The opening segment of Final Battle saw AR Fox and Blake Christian teaming up to face Rush and Dralístico. While the match seemed unbalanced due to Rush’s size and strength advantage, Fox and Blake put up an impressive effort.

Los Ingobernables looked to be in control early on. However, AR Fox changed the momentum after being tagged in as he took out both Rush and Dralístico. In the end, Fox positioned himself on the top turnbuckle and hit a 450 Splash on Dralistico, leading to a pinfall victory.

However, fans were left confused as the ending seemed unplanned. While many saw Dralistico kicking out before the three count, the bout was declared to end by the referee. The seemingly unexpected result led to an enraged Rush attacking the victors with a chair.

The apparently botched finish prompted fans to overflow of comments on social media.

That was odd ending but AR Fox is awesome I remember seeing him live at evolves last show right before pandemic and he killed it there. It’s not surprising he’s on ppv now, more surprising it took so long! #ROHFinalBattle

That finish was… weird. AR Fox hit the 450, pinned Dralistico, but Dralistico kicked out of that in about 2.75 of the count. Very controversial finish #ROHFinalBattle

He kicked out at 2! A weird finish to a overall fun tag match between Blake Christian & AR FOX vs Rush & Dralistico #ROHFinalBattle

A botched finish. AR FOX and Blake Christian. Quite unfortunate. Match was great!Now it’s Athena to win that ROH womens championship!!!#ROHFinalBattle#roh

Fantastic opening match. AR Fox and Blake Christian killed it against LFI. Wierd finish but amazing match. #ROHFinalBattle

I wrote this BEFORE the finish haha.I can’t think of anything scarier than accidently winning a match against Rush and seeing him realise and start thinking about how he’s going to get his heat back. Poor AR Fox.

@SeanRossSapp Those chair shots were needed. Especially after AR Fox who got the win, argued with the ref that it was only 2

Idk who botched the finish but RUSH just destroyed AR Fox & Blake Christian #ROHFinalBattle

With Rush having lost a number of matches in the last few months, another unplanned loss is certainly a tough break for him. It remains to be seen if this will lead to any storylines in the future.

Do you think Rush and Dralístico should have won the tag team match at Final Battle? Sound off in the comments below!

Did an upcoming star just challenge Seth Rollins here?
