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

1. The Bar's SmackDown Debut Was A Singles Match

Once again, SmackDown's writers booked a debut match that didn't fit in with an act's prior presentation.

Last week, Asuka, an established singles star, made her in-ring debut on the show in a tag-team match with Becky Lynch. On Tuesday, The Bar, one of the best tag-teams in the entire company, weren't booked in doubles action. No, Sheamus went one-on-one with Xavier Woods instead.

It's slightly odd that a team were involved in a singles match and an individual wrestler worked a tag match on their respective debuts. Making things worse for Sheamus, he lost what was his first in-ring showing on SmackDown for almost two years and he wasn't given an entrance.

Hardly makes The Bar seem like a big deal or coup for SmackDown in the Shakeup, does it?
