Anyone tuning into this week's SmackDown couldn't have failed to see the chirpy side to Becky Lynch as she previewed WrestleMania 35's main event. Armed with bags of cheeky Irish charm and a beaming smile, Becky said she was happy to be in Baltimore, only answered to the people and couldn't wait to make history.

So much for those touches of rebellious 'Stone Cold' goodness she was exhibiting a few months ago.

Not to rag on 'The Man', but where was that steely spirit? Why is one of WWE's finest characters slowly creeping back into her old-school babyface ways mere days before the biggest occasion of her career? It didn't sit well with this writer, and her segment lacked the intensity Randy Orton, AJ Styles, Kofi Kingston and Daniel Bryan showed in their own promos.

The good news is that there were some hidden gems snuck into most of the other segments on the show. Kevin Owens showed his craftiness, Orton bizarrely contradicted himself before getting back on track and more. Also, one of those runners is about to levy a fine for his unintended run-in.

Here's everything you might've missed from the go-home SmackDown...
