17 Things You Probably Missed From WWE SmackDown (July 30)

5. What A Signature

John Cena's signature moves include the Attitude Adjustment, Five Knuckle Shuffle and STF. His written signature, meanwhile, needs some serious work. The imminent Universal Title challenger scribbled "CENA" in block capitals on the SummerSlam contract.

Just going out on a limb here - that's probably not legally binding, nor John's actual signature. Sonya Deville said the contract had been ratified anyway.

4. 3 In A Row

Things are not going well for the reigning Intercontinental Champion.

Apollo Crews has now lost three consecutive TV matches. He dropped a Money In The Bank qualifier to Big E, then teamed with Baron Corbin to lose a tag effort. Now, 'King' Nakamura has pinned him in SmackDown's latest six-man.

Crews didn't even get a full entrance on this week's show. He looked like a total jobber, which (again) doesn't do much to inspire hope that he's a focal point for blue brand writers.

3. Dad Dancing

Look beyond Bianca Belair and Sasha Banks in that .GIF.

Do so, and you'll spot a dad cradling his young daughter and merrily jigging away to Sasha's entrance music. The girl was having none of it (she was too busy staring over at Banks and Belair before the bell sounded for the main event).

Still a nice father-daughter moment nonetheless.
