ROH Final Battle Opening Match Ends With Apparent Botch

Ring of Honor kicked off the Final Battle main show with tag team action between La Facción Ingobernable (RUSH and Dralistico) and Blake Christian and AR Fox at the College Park Center in Arlington, Texas tonight.

The heels dominated most of the match, but the babyfaces made a comeback during the closing moments, getting a pinfall win over the former ROH World Champion and his brother.

The finish of the match, however, left fans confused. Fox hit Dralistico with a 450 splash and proceeded to get the pin. The referee made the three count even though the camera showed that Dralistico had kicked out of the move.

Fans took to social media to debate whether the match ended with an apparent botch. Some referred to the post-match moments where the winners clearly looked surprised.

AR Fox and Blake Christian didn’t even get to celebrate their win as they were completely destroyed by La Facción Ingobernable after the match. Check out some of the reactions here:
