16 Things You Probably Missed From WWE SmackDown (12 March)

During Samoa Joe's entrance, R-Truth was shown mouthing a few things towards the new United States Champion. Aspiring lip-readers would be able to tell that he was saying the Samoan had "his" championship, and that he should just "give it back".

This kind of thing suits Truth's delusional characterisation. Corey Graves and Byron Saxton traded a bit of banter on commentary about the idea that Truth somehow believes he's still the champ. Every little helps when it comes to getting his wacky comedy guise over.

This was good attention to detail.
