Before facing Chad Gable in a King Of The Ring semi, Shane McMahon wandered around backstage asking Matt Hardy and Apollo Crews where he was. He even did the now-typical short jokes to try and raise some laughs.

One problem: Crews and Hardy are almost exactly the same height as Chad. That's where the 'Shorty G' banter falls down; it also makes this writer wonder whether or not WWE would draw attention to Adam Cole's short stature if he's ever on Raw or SmackDown.

Probably not.
