17 Things You Probably Missed From WWE SmackDown (Aug 20)
John Cena drops a WrestleMania bombshell, Edge mimics Vince McMahon and more.
Seth Rollins had a messy Friday night.
No, Seth and the boys didn't go out for a couple of "quiet pints" and find themselves dancing on pub tables at 4am. Instead, Mr. Rollins will be binning that all-white suit after Edge (or whomever is in charge of such things) dropped a whole load of fake blood on him mid-ring.
At least, it was supposed to be blood - the substance actually looked more like mud, dark chocolate sauce or tar. Apparently, using bright red fake stuff didn't appeal to WWE in 2021. God only knows why, but the visual was still a cool one, and one of WWE's replay angles looked utterly glorious in slow-motion.
That's just one of the things you might've missed from this week's SmackDown. Other hidden gems on tap include Edge getting lyrical, wrestlers calling out spots before they do them, dilapidated announce desks that badly need replaced before they fall down and Edge (again) mimicking Vince McMahon circa 2020.
Also, Montez Ford went swimming, Chad Gable almost went to the hospital and John Cena may have served up some spoilers for next year's WrestleMania pay-per-view. SummerSlam first, JC. Take them as they come, son!
