13 Things You Might Have Missed From Last Night’s WWE SmackDown

2. The Bar Only Got SmackDown Contracts This Week

The Bar were drafted to SmackDown in the Superstar Shakeup on the 17 April episode. That was a fortnight ago, and yet (somehow) Sheamus and Cesaro only received their blue-brand contracts on Tuesday night.

That doesn't make much sense.

Apparently, it takes SmackDown management two whole weeks to draft up a "Superstar Contract". The document also appears to be two pages long and doesn't have an individual name on the front. It seems neither Paige or Shane McMahon are in a rush to lock in one of the best tag-teams in WWE.

Even though this is a small complaint, it's bothersome to fans who love the little details. They really do go a long way.
