Give the time element involved in an Ironman match, WWE posted a clocked set with a 30-minute countdown. His enabled the crowd to chime in with a copious amount of Royal Rumble-esque countdown does punctuate by the entire arena making the “buzzer sounds” It was funny the first time, but after a few dozen instances, the act grew tired.
WWE caught on the crowd’s games and decided to turn off the clock. But that only incentivized the crowd to lean into their efforts.
At that point, both Ziggler and Rollins could be overheard reacting to WWE’s decision and the crowd’s reaction.
