He administered a fast count in the Bryan-Orton match.
He 'fessed up' to Triple H about working with Daniel Bryan.
Later, Triple H fires him, but assures him not to worry because Hunter will take care of him. Triple H seemed to want to make sure Scott stopped talking.
Scott Armstrong shows up at Battleground, coming down to the ring with Brad Maddox after the original referee was knocked out.
Then they just stopped referencing Scott Armstrong. He didn't show up any more.
They never revealed that Triple H ordered Scott Armstrong to administer a fast-count if Bryan appeared to have Orton beaten.
Now WWE appears to have transitioned Bryan away from the title picture without ever paying off the Scott Armstrong story.
Yes, WWE could still explain this story, but it would be sloppy and poorly done at this point.
Why did he show up at Battleground? Was he re-hired? If not, why didn't Triple H mention it after the show?
CARELESSNESS!

I understand your confusion. It's actually his twin brother Watt Armstrong. Makes perfect sense.

No, I think it's going to be part of Vince's (face) return.

Where can you really go with it? Considering Orton got the belt at HIAC anyway it really doesn't matter that Armstrong did this screwjob count at a previous PPV.

It's indicative of WWE's poor, sloppy storytelling and lack of attention to detail. It's like WWE feels they should not be bothered to follow-up on their own storylines. Of course WWE COULD still explain this story, as a previous poster mentioned with bringing in Vince. Still, WWE has done a very poor job with this storyline from the announcers not properly talking about it to WWE not addressing what Scott was doing at Battleground. At one point, Jerry Lawler appeared to begin theorizing that Triple H ordered Armstrong to count fast, but Lawler couldn't even finish saying this because JBL was so overbearing on commentary that he couldn't get his comment out. |

Or their incredibly attractive model brother Hot Armstrong. Or their former country singer/doggystyle enthusiast brother Brian. Wait... Honestly, I'd forgotten all about this part of the storyline, and was going to say "Punk had a match against him where he beat him up after T-Lo reversed the decision and gave 'Taker the title." |

Or their brother made entirely of lamb, onion and potato - Hot Pot Armstrong.
(And for any HIGNFY viewers, yes I am ripping off the pot noodles episode)

To make sure that there are no further officiating mistakes in WWE, Triple H has the Research and Development team currently testing machines that can referee matches. That's right, Bot Armstrong.

Cole mentioned "OH COME ON THE GUY WHO TRIPLE H PAID OFF" or something similar as he sauntered down to ringside during a ref-bump in one of the Orton/Bryan matches didn't he?
That looks like an arsey remark, but I can't quite remember when, but I'm certain Cole mentioned it before being interrupted by drunken Uncle Bradfield before he was able to finish his point.

Yeah I realized a few nights after the RAW after Battleground that they never addressed the Armstrong appearance. It's a bad oversight, but not a devastating one.

They was going to bring in Clot Armstrong but he had deep vein thrombosis.

They should have a zombie referee named Rot Armstrong. Or the manliest man to ever man a man, Alex Louis Armstrong.
