16 WTF Moments From WWE SmackDown (Jan 14)

By Jack G King / January 15, 2016

No doubt about it - SmackDown has improved over the past couple of weeks. Much of this improvement might have something to do with new play-by-play man Mauro Ranallo, whose blend of impassioned and informative commentary has acted as something of a throwback to the days of JR. In terms of in-ring action, this week's show continued this upward trend by providing a little bit of everything. Kalisto and Del Rio brought the workrate with an extended US Championship bout, the Dudleys and Wyatts enjoyed a pleasingly chaotic tables match, and the main event tag match provided the Raw-esque shenanigans and character development. However, despite all the good stuff, SmackDown wouldn't be SmackDown without a handful of bizarre, unexpected, and downright silly moments sprinkled throughout.

16. Has Ambrose Found Himself A New BFF?

The show started in unique fashion, with Renee Young stood outside of the arena awaiting the arrival of Dean Ambrose. Helpfully, he got there just as she was speaking, screeching on to the scene in a speeding black pickup truck. He clambered out of the passenger side and slapped the truck goodbye, sending it careering back from whence it came - but who on earth was the driver!? One thing's for certain: Dean's found a new best friend. Roman Reigns had better watch out; this new guy could be a bad influence on Mr. Ambrose. He certainly doesn't seem to be a devout follower of the highway code, for a start.
