This week’s episode of Monday Night RAW featured a ‘Last Man Standing’ match between Roman Reigns and Braun Strowman. The match was won by Braun Strowman after Samoa Joe interfered and choked out Reigns.

Fans noticed an error during the match. Reigns hit Strowman with a massive spear on the outside of the ring. The referee was counting to 10 (as per the match rules) and got to about 8.
Joe interfered and the referee stopped counting. Reigns was choked out and the referee counted to 10 to give the win to Strowman. The only problem is that ‘Last Man Standing’ matches are no disqualification (Michael Cole even says it when Reigns is being choked out). The referee should have continued to count to 10, giving the win to Reigns (since he was still standing while being choked).
WHY did the ref stop the 10 count on Strowman when Joe put the clutch on Reigns? It’s a NO DQ match! Most puzzlin & vexin’, y’all #WWERaw

Why did the ref stop counting Strowman down when Joe locked Roman in the kokina clutch? Braun didnt get up yet. #Raw #LastManStanding

If we are going 100% by the WWE rule book, the referee should have continued to count, giving the win to Reigns.
