16 Things You Probably Missed From WWE SmackDown (April 23)

Bayley needs a history lesson, and Shane McMahon needs to learn his American landmarks...

Kevin Owens Kofi Kingston

Kevin Owens just went from 'Big O' to big nightmare for Kofi Kingston, and now SmackDown has its next WWE Title challenger. Roll on Money In The Bank, and roll on the very-real threat of Owens dethroning Kingston for that championship. Don't shake your head, dear reader, because it could well happen.

KO has the heel smarts to warrant another title run anyway, and he showed them on Tuesday night.

Everything this man does, from in-ring work to promo banter and tiny nuances, makes him watchable. This week, Owens showed off some over-the-top babyface happiness then subtly disrespected a piece of New Day merchandise. Maybe you saw both, or maybe you didn't. If it's the latter, then this article is for you.

In addition to KO's genius, there was a party breaking out before the show backstage. Confused? Well, so are we, but there's no other explanation for why Shane McMahon, Tom Phillips, Charlotte Flair and Becky Lynch were tripping over their words more than a duelling Scott Steiner and Sid Vicious promo from WCW Nitro circa 2000.

Here's everything you might've missed from this week's SmackDown...
