This weeks episode of Smackdown Live ended in strange fashion. Luke Harper and AJ Styles went over the top rope at the same time in the battle royal to determine the number one contender for Bray Wyatt’s WWE Championship at Wrestlemania. There was only one problem….
From the footage on Smackdown, it was pretty clear that AJ Styles’ feet hit first. WWE didn’t show any other angles of what happened and seemingly forgot that instant replay existed. This was likely because the footage would have clearly showed Styles hitting the floor first. Daniel Bryan announced that AJ and Harper would face off next week to determine the winner.
Here is the footage that some users on Twitter caught, showing that AJ Styles hit first:

The replay WWE won’t show you because of the botched finish which clearly shows Luke Harper landing after AJ haha. #SDLive #BattleRoyal pic.twitter.com/XuvYeBc4Fh

This means that Luke Harper SHOULD be the winner.
