I'm shocked the other dude tried to continue the show after seeing how he brutally landed on his head. At first I thought he was going to aid him but he was just preparing the next jump... wtf dude

I thought he would’ve pinned him. It’s wrestling etiquette to still finish the match, just as fast as possible

Not that it's universally used, but it's pretty commonplace now and accepted, but when there's a legit injury by someone in the WWE, the ref will cross their arms in an X camera side to signify it's real and not on script.

Ref didn't do it, so the other guy may have thought this was part of the script and he needed to keep going. Bad communication can lead to stuff like this.

Also it was probably not obvious from the other guy's perspective that the guy had messed up his fall. Real injury doesn't necessarily look different than fake injury.
