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

11. Back-To-Back Matches Ended In Rollups

Both Becky Lynch/Asuka vs. The IIconics and Jimmy Uso vs. Rowan ended in roll-up spots.

Whilst that's not really a big problem (it's a popular finish in wrestling, after all) it's a little annoying they happened back-to-back on the same show. That was some poor planning from WWE, because it slightly cheapened the idea that a heel like Peyton Royce had pulled a fast one over Becky Lynch when The Usos did the same to The Bludgeon Brothers moments later.

Whether she used the ropes or not, Royce should have had this finish exclusively to herself on SmackDown without Jimmy copying it in the next match on the card. This sort of thing shouldn't be happening in such a tightly controlled environment.
