Solid stuff then, which...couldn't be said for most other parts of the program.

That was just one of 16 hidden gems from Friday's broadcast.
Other nuances you might've totally missed included one forgotten WWE man getting a brand new look (he hasn't been seen on television since the 9 November 2020 episode of Raw), Michael Cole getting a tag-team's name wrong again, Natalya literally becoming one with the camera lens, Chad Gable taking a painful blow and Seth Rollins running some brilliant propaganda.
