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

8. WWE Comedy Falling Flat

WWE's brand of comedy usually falls into one of two categories; when they're not pushing toilet humour, the company enjoy their wacky dialogue that's supposed to make everyone giggle. It's tolerable when guys like AJ Styles are involved.

The live crowd barely made a sound when AJ joked he'd pitch a "Pole On A Pole" encounter with Shinsuke Nakamura should he win the main event, and worse was to come when Styles made up some sort of Hell In A Cell Inferno match mish-mash.

That's when Renee Young piped up to ask if that was the one officiated by a referee dressed as Elvis. Nobody reacted in the live crowd, because it's not really that funny. Why WWE insist on forcing naturally likeable talent like AJ and Young to spout such unlikeable nonsense is baffling.
