17 Things You Probably Missed From WWE SmackDown (July 30)
2. Pat McAfee’s Bobby Heenan Moment
Michael Cole didn't seem too chuffed when Pat McAfee suggested that Bianca shouldn't trust Sasha before the tag headliner. Cole asked, "What makes you say that?", and McAfee's comments likely had some in Gorilla blowing a gasket.
This was his Bobby Heenan moment.
In 1996, Heenan memorably questioned why Hulk Hogan was hitting the scene during Bash At The Beach. That fed into Hulk turning heel and launching the nWo. Here, 25 years on, Pat teased Banks turning on Belair before it actually happened.
1. “We Want Becky” Chants
Saved the best for last.
Seth Rollins almost broke character and smiled when fans chanted, "We Want Becky" during his post-attack promo about Edge. The chants weren't exactly relentless, but they did pipe up more than once throughout the speech, and they nearly made Rollins corpse.
Becky has become the "new CM Punk" in a way, and that likely won't change until she's back on TV herself. Here's hoping WWE can resist the urge to acknowledge that Seth and Lynch are a happy couple every week - there'd be no need for that.
