15 WTF Moments From WWE SmackDown (July 7)
Since JBL isn't around IT'S BYRON O'CLOCK!
We had a reason to watch SmackDown this week! There's a WTF Moment right off the bat. "Why?" I hear you ask. Well, because Brock Lesnar's SummerSlam opponent was to be announced.
Of course, we all knew it was going to be Randy Orton ahead of the show thanks to those pesky dirt sheets but credit to WWE, they didn't include in the live show on Tuesday night or the Canadian version of the show which aired on Wednesday evening, so it was still a surprise to those casuals out there.
That might have been the only reason to tune into this week's show, but it's more than we normally get so let's run with it.
After calamitous episode on Monday night to celebrate Independence Day, things needed to get serious in the ring again with Battleground just over two weeks away. Big feuds of AJ Styles and John Cena's ilk, and the WWE Championship picture needed to be made the centre of attention again.
As ever, there were those moments that had me screaming "WTF!" in my throne, here's 15 of them which I suppose is a WTF Moment in itself. This is the lowest total for a WTF Moments article under my watch. EVER!
Please make sure to check out the accompanying video for this article on our YouTube channel.
15. What Is Happening To Seth?
You remember Seth Rollins before his injury? He was scared of anything and everything. He'd run away from a fight quicker than you could say "an angry ex-girlfriend with a dick pic."
Now though, it appears WWE have made 'The Man' a man since his return. When there's a fight to be had he's there and ready for battle. On Monday night he accepted a challenge from Dolph Ziggler for a match, before Jey Uso came calling as SmackDown came on the air.
He accepted both challenges and won both matches with consummate ease within a WWE week. He grabbed the bull by the horns instead of running away from the bull and hiding in the next field.
Although, after his match, SethyPoo couldn't have exited the ring quicker when Dean Ambrose, the special guest ring announcer, merely stepped in to raise his hand. Maybe the transformation hasn't fully completed but it's certainly in the works. I was begging for that chicken sh*t to leave before his injury, it's a WTF Moment in itself that WWE have listened to a fan (me).
