IMPACT Wrestling aired their latest show on AXS TV on Thursday and the episode featured the likes of Josh Alexander vs. Matt Taven, Steve Maclin vs. Rhino, and JONAH vs. Zicky Dice.

The reformed Motor City Machine Guns also faced off with Bullet Club's Jay White and Chris Bey, and while it wasn't obvious at the time, the finish of the match was actually botched, PWInsider have reported.

Thursday's match ended when Jay White was a millisecond too slow in breaking up a pinfall on Chris Bey but that wasn't the original finish. As the official had already counted the 1-2-3, however, the match came to an end prematurely.

The match was instead scheduled to run longer and end with a different finish, although it is believed The Motor City Machine Guns would have still emerged victorious.

There was no heat on any of the talents for the botched finish as it was just viewed as one of those things that can happen.

Both teams faced off for a second time at Friday's TV tapings from the 2300 Arena in Philadelphia. Check out who won the rematch here.
