“I’m heartbroken. I can’t even watch it, I’m so devastated. I pinned her, I don’t understand. The referee makes the call they feel is correct in that moment. I felt like I was still fighting, I tried to roll back to cover her. She reversed it, but in that moment…I don’t know. I don’t want to say I got screwed, but I may have gotten screwed.”
Even Stratus agreed with Mickie and said she was also confused with the abrupt ending. “I was a little confused with the ending. I thought that was a tap/pin? “
