3. Cole Checking His Watch

Sami Zayn's announce table rant, which followed his invasion of Logan Paul's boxing gym in Miami, was a hidden highlight on this week's SmackDown. When he was jawing off at the desk, neither Sami nor Corey Graves spotted Michael Cole checking his watch mid-way through.

That was classic, old-school behaviour.

Cole turned into Gorilla Monsoon here. That's a compliment, by the way. The play-by-play man rarely gets the chance to show off some character these days, so this was welcome. Just...don't turn him into a show-dominating heel commentator again, please.
