10 Ways WWE Screwed Up At SummerSlam 2017

Something strange happened at the conclusion of last night's Kickoff Show. The feed cut to a pre-recorded KFC commercial featuring Dolph Ziggler, Enzo Amore, Mojo Rawley, and a handful of others. It came out of nowhere, but this wasn't completely out of the ordinary, as WWE have produced such KFC commercials in the past, and even booked a Colonel Sanders (Ziggler) vs. adult-sized chicken (The Miz) dark match at last year's SummerSlam.

What followed, however, was absolutely bewildering.

'Sexy Boy' hit the PA system. The crowd naturally went nuts, but this wasn't your usual Shawn Michaels appearance, oh no. KFC's red and white took over the arena, and out stepped HBK, decked out in full Colonel regalia. He then spent the next few minutes dancing and gyrating around the arena, before strutting across the announce tables, which is when we cut back to the studio.

This spot was apparently originally intended for Ric Flair prior to 'The Nature Boy's' recent health problems. It was an odd way to utilise a WWE Hall Of Famer on the second biggest show of the year, and totally needless, particularly as WWE could've used this time to give Neville vs. Tozawa an extra couple of minutes.
