15 Things You Probably Missed From WWE SmackDown (25 Oct)

Brock Lesnar wrecking the joint, Hulk Hogan roasting Shinsuke Nakamura and more...

Team Hogan

The Crown Jewel, brother.

That's what talents like Hulk Hogan and Ric Flair have been calling next week's Saudi Arabian special anyway, and their phrasing has started to rub off on others. On SmackDown, 'King' Corbin referred to himself as "the Crown Jewel" of that event and all of WWE before he and fellow Team Flair members took a pasting from Team Hogan later that night.

There's nothing from that match in this list of SmackDown hidden gems. It was a fairly straightforward six-man tag, after all, but the set-up for it was a different story altogether. During that segment, Hulk went in all guns blazing on Shinsuke Nakamura and Sami Zayn proved he could predict the future before it happened. It was all pretty weird.

Other things you might've missed include the 'Shorty G' gimmick falling flat (again), some kids gearing up for Halloween by showing their creative spirit, Rey Mysterio closing the book on his 2005 feud with Eddie Guerrero, pancakes, breakfast spread and Daniel Bryan's real career highlight.

Hint: Bryan's wife has something to do with that last one...
