During the latest episode of Monday Night RAW, a significant blunder occurred involving former Royal Rumble winners Drew McIntyre and Shinsuke Nakamura, with WWE legend Michael Cole at the center of the mishap.
In the segment, McIntyre aired his grievances about CM Punk’s interference during WrestleMania XL and a subsequent altercation costing him a World Heavyweight Championship opportunity on RAW. This led to an interruption by Sheamus, who urged McIntyre to take responsibility for his actions.
As Nakamura made his entrance for a match against Sheamus, Cole mistakenly referred to him as McIntyre. The slip-up was noticed by fans and shared widely on social media, adding to a series of mistakes seen in WWE programming.
WWE NXT commentator Vic Joseph recently praised Cole, labeling him as the greatest of all time in the industry.
In an interview with SEScoops’ Scott Fishman for TV Insider, Joseph emphasized the valuable lessons he learned from working with Cole, highlighting the importance of maintaining individuality in commentary.
Cole’s tenure with World Wrestling Entertainment dates back to 1997, and despite occasional errors, he remains a cornerstone commentator for the promotion’s events. His experience and influence continue to shape the terrain of WWE broadcasting.
