** In 2017, many felt that 6 Degrees, who were [[{{Franchise/Batman}} twice-]][[Film/AmericanPsycho nominated]] that year for Best Teams Entrance, lost to Wolves of Steel as a result of vote-splitting between their two nominated entrances, something Clarke Wolfe humbly acknowledged in her and Mark Reilly's acceptance speech.
** In 2018, something similar occurred when William Bibbiani, [[{{Film/Clue}} twice-]][[Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000 nominated]] in Best Singles Entrance, lost to Andrew Ghai. It was widely speculated that Bibbs' loss was also due to vote-splitting, which led to a new precedent in which only one entrance per competitor or team could be nominated in each entrance category.
** In 2019, Greg Alba appeared to be the favorite to win Best Singles Entrance (renamed Best Entrance by an Individual) for his [[Film/AStarIsBorn2018 A Star Is Born]] entrance at the Free-4-All that year, but John Rocha ended up winning. Numerous fans thought that Rocha's win was a case of AwardCategoryFraud, as his entrance was for a Teams match, even though he technically walked out by himself. There were others who liked the entrance but argued that it would've been more appropriate for it to have been exclusively nominated for Moment of the Year, which it was also nominated for. Alba's bitterness regarding this is documented below as a CMOF.

* AwardSnub: The most common occurrence of this involves entrance awards with controversy surrounding them for the past ''three years.''

* SpoiledByTheFormat: Zig Zagged. Matches that are on the shorter side (under 40 minutes) or longer side (over an hour) can sometimes indicate to viewers whether a match is played out to the bitter end or a CurbStompBattle. However, the lengths are not always that indicative. A short episode could contain a very close match, but the match may have contained very little smack talk from the competitors or there were no cut scenes before or after. A long episode may have the inverse where it was a Curb-Stomp Battle, but the match dragged on because of smack talk, challenges, or some other interruptions, or there were cut scenes.

** This is becoming increasingly averted, as Friday release matches are being premiered on YouTube as opposed to being uploaded normally, making it impossible for viewers watching during the premiere to know how long the episode will be.

* TheWoobie: Rachel Cushing after Ken Napzok betrayed her to join the Lion's Den. Napzok was beginning to turn heel leading up to his Star Wars Championship match against Sam Witwer after feeling downtrodden due to having less success in Singles and Teams. Cushing attempted to brighten his spirits and proposed a Teams match against Blofeld's Cat, only for her to face them one-on-two after Napzok failed to show up. Napzok finally shows up after Cushing loses in a impressively close match, only to betray her in the moment to officially join the faction. Cushing won over a lot of support that day.

** Jeff Sneider's KO loss against Bibbiani in a number one contender shot from 2018 is still heavily looked down upon, as many felt that he wasn't even trying once he realized he couldn't win. A few fans went as far as suggesting he be penalized for his poor performance.

** In 2019, Greg Alba appeared to be the favorite to win Best Singles Entrance (renamed Best Entrance by an Individual) for his [[Film/AStarIsBorn2018 A Star Is Born]] entrance at the Free-4-All that year, but he lost to John Rocha. Numerous fans thought that Rocha's win in the was a case of AwardCategoryFraud, as his entrance was for a Teams match, even though he technically walked out by himself. There were others who liked the entrance but argued that it would've been more appropriate for it to have been exclusively nominated for Moment of the Year, which it was also nominated for. Alba's bitterness regarding this is documented below as a CMOF.

** Between Andrew Ghai's antics and the exasperated commentary by Kristian and Mark, the entirety of Ghai vs. Murrell could count as this. What makes the below quote doubly count as a CMOF and [[{{SugarWiki/AwesomeMoments}} Crowning Moment of Awesome]] is that Ghai's prediction actually comes true to the shock of the audience.

-->'''Ghai:''' "I know it. I'm gonna tie you right now, 'cause you're gonna miss it. [[RefugeInAudacity I can feel it in my balls."]]

-->'''Ghai:''' "I know it. I'm gonna tie you right now, 'cause you're gonna miss it. [RefugeInAudacity I can feel it in my balls."]

* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: According to [[{{WordOfGod}} Kristian]], he felt that he had a difficult time getting fans on-board with supporting Bibbiani and Kalinowski when they each initially debuted, but felt that they received warmer reception following their respective Heel-Face and Face-Heel Turns because their new characters suited them better.

** Time will tell if this will remain the case, but Bibbiani received a lot of flak in his three-way match against Murrell and Meyer where he challenged that Murrell's answer of "Sir Richard Attenborough" was incorrect and that Attenborough's proper title was "Lord." The challenge, which was declared heel-ish by numerous fans, was not granted and Bibbs was booed by the crowd for his troubles. As of his title match against Bateman, Murrell himself has yet to live it down, as [[{{SugarWiki/FunnyMoments}} he jokingly added the "Sir" and "Lord" titles to some of his answers in the Bateman match, which Bateman stated he'd allow him to get away with.]]

* HilariousInHindsight: All the way back at the end of Season 3 in 2016 at the inaugural Schmoedown Spectacular, Dan Murrell accepted Finstock's offer to join the Lion's Den, only to quickly bow out of the faction after they failed to show up to support him in his title match against John Rocha. Additionally, during the moment in which Murrell accepted Finstock's offer, Rocha crashed the interview and insulted Finstock and shoved him out of the way before launching into a tirade towards Murrell. Cut to two years later midway through Season 7 and Finstock has officially become both Murrell ''and'' Rocha's manager after Finstock and Ben Bateman were accepted into the Five Horsemen at the Houston event.
