WWE Raw number one contender's match had botched finish

One of the matches on Monday night's WWE Raw didn't end how it was originally planned.

The Miz won a fatal four-way match on Raw last night to become the number one contender to Gunther's Intercontinental title. But Dave Meltzer reports that the match was supposed to end in a double pin. The finish of the match saw Miz pin Bronson Reed and Ivar pin Ricochet at the same time. Before the referee counted to three, Ricochet got his shoulder up.

Meltzer notes that Ricochet was not supposed to kick out. Meltzer believes Ricochet got "rocked" earlier in the match during a spot where his head hit the mat.

"Just a note regarding Raw last night. Ricochet was not supposed to kick out of the Ivar moonsault and it was supposed to be a simultaneous double pin," Meltzer wrote. "That's why it came across so awkward on television. I believe Ricochet was rocked earlier in the match when his head hit the mat."

There was an angle where Ivar attacked Miz after the fatal four-way. Later in the show, it was announced that Miz will face Ivar in a singles match on Raw next Monday.

Miz is challenging Gunther for the Intercontinental title at Survivor Series on Saturday, November 25.
