17 Things You Probably Missed From WWE SmackDown (Mar 5)

3. Corey Graves Contradicting Himself

Corey Graves Steel Cage

Most fans have watched countless steel cage matches by now, but WWE still felt the need to run through the rules before Bryan vs. Uso. To do it, they put Corey Graves inside the structure and had him "attest" to the fear that grips wrestlers when they're faced with the cold, unforgiving steel.

This might've worked had Corey not immediately contradicted his own selling.

He left the cage during Bryan's entrance, sat back down next to Michael Cole and said that he had chills because that was his "first time" standing inside a cage. Which one is it? Graves can either "attest" to what the cage is like, or doesn't have a clue. It cannot be both.
