Jade’s Injury Caught Everyone Off Guard

The ending of the main event was affected by Jade’s steel steps injury. As noted, it forced producer Tyson Kidd to restructure the match's finish while it was still ongoing. This all led to confusion and a botch.

WWE official Daphanie LaShaunn had counted to two even though Jax didn’t kick out or raise her shoulder on Stratton’s pin attempt. She didn’t count to three because LaShaunn knew this wasn't the planned finish. The finish ended with Stratton hitting Jax with the Prettiest Moonsault Ever to retain her title. So while the match was unfortunately plagued by a botched finish, luckily, Cargill is doing just fine.

It's worth mentioning that even before the injury and the botched finish happened, the title match had already been dealing with a curse. Stratton was originally going to have the title match at Wrestlepalooza, but due to a botched moonsault and her hitting her head, WWE pulled her from the event, and she was also pulled from NXT Homecoming. It was all precautionary, and the match was moved to the September 26 episode of SmackDown.
