This is the reason why she didn't get a match at Wrestlemania.
Everyone can have an off night but sometimes it is so bad, nothing is redeemable or explainable. Last night was Natalya's.

Yeah Nattie had a bad night. Of the diva's on the main roster she's easily the best in-ring talent so I don't really know why she did so badly last night. The botched finish was just weird, to the point where I thought it was intentional for a few moments.
Either way if this results in a Natalya push I'm all for it. The only time I've ever cared about the diva's in this decade was when Nattie was fighting LayCool, then winning the belt and holding it for a while. When she was getting a push a lot of the casual fans I used to watch RAW/PPVs with started to watch the diva matches rather than leave to do other things. I remember one of them becoming a huge Natalya fan after the Laycool/Diva's of Doom Tables Match at TLC 2010.
But then she randomly lost it to Eve in a complete swerve and everyone, me included, went back to using the diva segments to do other things. Shame really, so hopefully this time she'll get the push she deserves.

Everyone is blaming Natalya, but why didn't the referee ring the bell? Yeah the sharpshooter looked like shit but AJ clearly tapped out. If he had just rang the bell, no one would have hardly noticed.

Natalya is actually a psychic and can make people surrender with her mind. AJ forgot to use controller port 2. Metal Gear Solid reference? I didn't watch RAW though.

You don't have to worry about the ref in the match. He'll be joining the original Black Ref in Purgatory.

As has been mentioned, the whole match was just weird. Natalya and Khali had no reason to win, and the sharpshooter botch was very noticeable and poorly handled. It could have looked significantly better imo if Natalya had at least done a different move rather than gone right back to the sharpshooter. Mistakes happen though, there's no reason to hold it against her, hopefully she looks better on Sunday.

Natalya looked awful in that match last night. She was giving AJ the lamest kicks and my girlfriend happened to be watching at that exact moment and she just goes "wow nice kicks...they look really painful".
That being said, the botch at the finish was all on the ref. If he had just called for the bell it would have still looked a bit weird, but not as terrible as everyone just freezing in place.

Apparently knowing the difference between "your" and "you're" isn't a requirement to be a WWE ref. Luckily the wrestlers use math and not grammar to call their spots.

Would have a lot more respect had he just went: "I f***ed up, mistakes happen."

Nice heel turn there, ref. Whoever the hell you are.

I think it's unfair to refer to Natalya as "That Bitch"

I don't like him. He messed up an AJ match. That's unforgivable. This ref has made an enemy of me.

It'd really suck for him if he got fired now wouldn't it?
