22 WTF Moments From WWE SmackDown (August 27)

WWE Network is $9.99? Wrong!

How on earth could this week's episode of SmackDown follow what happened on RAW? Monday night's show was arguably the best we've seen in the last few years as a 'RAW after 'Mania' crowd made it feel like a special event. We should have seen it coming in all reality, WWE promoted SummerSlam as the WrestleMania of the summer while it had a match billed as too big for WM as its main event. They had little choice but to produce the sort of show we see following Mania if we were to be sold on that schtick! RAW was special because the shock factor returned to World Wrestling Entertainment. The Dudley Boyz and Sting made shocking appearances in moves that no one (unless your a diehard dirtsheet follower) saw coming. The Stinger was thrown straight into the main event of the company's next special event, Night of Champions, against Seth Rollins for the WWE World Heavyweight Championship, while the 24-time tag champions were in-line to make their return to a WWE ring on SmackDown. The Wyatt's were also enhanced further by the earth shattering debut of Braun Strowman, while a number of other story lines rolled on. let's hope Monday night's epic didn't suck all the potential life out of Thursday night's event... On the face of things, with the next PPV just less than a month away, SmackDown was expected to be a solid show to keep the company ticking. If the powers that be could have produced a similar show to that of RAW's ilk then we were in for a treat. As ever though, there were those moments that made us take a second look at the screen and scream WTF! Here's 22 of them...
