Jerry Lawler got bored during the Gauntlet and, for some reason, decided to spruce things up with a bit of insider lingo. During Humberto Carrillo's rest hold on Ricochet, the legendary announcer asked Samoa Joe if he'd "ever heard the term babyface".

Joe and Vic Joseph didn't know what to say.

Lawler continued by saying that Humberto literally had a baby-faced look. Was this Jerry's way of trying to play mind games with the viewers and lull them into rooting for Carrillo? It sure sounded like it.
