He credits Stephenie and Triple H for calling spots for him in that match. They recall the match subsequently, noting that the botch was towards the very start of the match.

He added, “If they do get concussed, they aren’t allowed to wrestle. Definitely not going out for a match.” Paul claimed Kurt was probably knocked out immediately and Triple H had to communicate with him discreetly.
