A rough situation played out on last week's episode of WWE Raw when a spot with Austin Theory and Mustafa Ali went awry.
Regarding the top rope frankensteiner botch, we're told that it happened because Theory didn't hold on to Ali. The idea was for Theory to block the move and lift Ali up into a powerbomb. From there Ali was supposed to counter that move back into the rana. It was Ali that called for the ref to check on Theory and Ali called the audible for the satellite DDT. Theory was also very apologetic backstage for the slip up. But there was no heat between the two.
Those we spoke to chalked it up to "shit happens" and said both men handled it appropriately.
