I'm not sure what we are talking about here. Cole shook Brady's hand and then shook Harry's hand and then ran off the mat out of the gym to a secluded hallway where he wanted to just be alone. He threw nothing, broke nothing, and made no display in public. He was very upset and emotional, but his actions in public or private were not out of line. He was upset he lost and needed some time to cool off. He was overcome with emotion, but did not make a public display.
Cole sprinted to the awards stand as soon as he heard that the awards presentation had started. No one had to tell him to go, and he planned on going to get his award all along. Anyone who was there should know that the Grater match was a fall and the awards came sooner than expected.
