Michael Cole gives his on-screen rival their “proper due” after making a mistake at Survivor Series: WarGames

Michael Cole didn’t get off to the best start at Survivor Series: WarGames after making a few noticeable errors today. One of them was acknowledged by him and he gave his on-screen rival their proper due.

During the Women’s WarGames match, the voice of WWE Michael Cole would accidentally refer to Naomi as Tiffany Stratton. However, he mentioned on more than one occasion that IYO SKY beat Bayley to win the WWE Women’s Championship at WrestleMania 40. It was the complete opposite as The Role Model beat The Genius of the Sky at The Show of Shows this year. Cole and Bayley are long-time on-screen rivals.

Although the rivalry between Bayley and Michael Cole has cooled down, the voice of WWE still ensured she was given her proper due, acknowledging his mistake regarding her “loss” to IYO SKY at WrestleMania 40.

Usually, Cole targets people who he loves in real life – which is why he goes after Dominik Mysterio with venom in his tongue, and also the reason why he used to actively target AJ Francis fka Top Dolla.

Similarly, he likely has great affection towards Bayley, leading to their on-screen rivalry.

Bayley played a huge role at Survior Series: WarGames in helping her team pick up the massive win. She replaced Jade Cargill after the Women’s Tag Team Champion was taken out by a mystery assailant a few weeks ago on SmackDown.
