17 Things You Probably Missed From WWE SmackDown (April 16)

17. Squeezing It In There

WWE usually like to type WrestleMania out in full. They rarely use the shortened 'Mania, for example, and wrestlers/announcers/interviewers always put emphasis on both words like they're sacred. So, it was interesting to see the company type "WM" on SmackDown.

That's what it said on Roman Reigns' entrance graphic. He “Retained Universal Championship By Defeating Edge & Daniel Bryan At WM”. Don't get used to that - there just wasn't enough space for the show's full name on that tile.
