19 WTF Moments From WWE SmackDown Live (Oct 18)
'The Undertaker' formerly known as Bray Wyatt?
If this was an episode of Friends then it would be called 'The one with the jobber getting the world title shot.' Yes, this was the SmackDown Live that would see king of the jobbers James Ellsworth get his shot at AJ Styles' WWE World Championship.
Oh, what tomfoolery are we about to see before our very eyes?
Obviously, there is no way Ellsworth would be winning the title but you can be rest assured that he would come close. Undoubtedly, Dean Ambrose would be getting involved somewhere to almost steer the biggest underdog since forever to what would be the biggest upset, since forever. That's just what Dean does, right?
Aside from that, there wasn't really much else to get excited about for the blue brand. RAW well and truly stole all of the thunder available inside the WWE Universe with the return of Goldberg on Monday night, not to mention their next PPV, Hell In A Cell, is next on the schedule and under two weeks away.
Needless to say, but I'm going to anyway, we'd have the likes of Ziggler and Miz with the Spirit Squad clashing again, same goes with Bray Wyatt and Randy Orton. But what about Kane? How do WWE bring The Big Red Machine back even though The Wyatts literally made him disappear on last week's show?
Good luck explaining that one. Here are all the WTF Moments from this week's WWE SmackDown Live...
19. That Ellsworth Shirt...
I think this t-shirt is an absolute disgrace. It confirms that WWE are being massive hypocrites and using James Ellsworth for all the wrong reasons.
Rather than capitalising on that great promo he cut before facing Braun Strowman on RAW way back when, or maybe even the fact he's the biggest underdog in the history of the world, ever, they're focussing on his looks and bullying he poor guy. It's clear to see that James is willing to take any amount of crap from creative just to make something of his shot at the big time, but that doesn't make it right.
Let's all laugh at Jimmy's funny face, they're saying here. Why not have a nice design centred around the every man with two hands has a having chance schtick?
Don't be a bully, be a star. You stay classy, WWE.
