The seasoned veteran of the WWE commentary table. Michael Cole has been the voice of the wrestling giant for quite some time. However, even the most experienced professionals like him can slip up, at times. Michael Cole had the same experience on RAW tonight when he made a mistake calling the action.
During the latest episode of RAW, a six-man tag team match featured The Judgment Day facing off against Rey Mysterio, Dragon Lee, and Braun Strowman. The LWO and The Judgment Day have been engaged in a feud for some time, with Braun Strowman joining the fray to specifically target his heated rival, JD McDonagh.
At one point during the bout, Rey Mysterio entered the ring to battle his opponent. To everyone’s surprise, Michael Cole mistakenly referred to him as his partner, Dragon Lee multiple times, leaving fans totally confused. The mix-up was likely due to the similar attire worn by the two masked luchadores.
