Natayla and Tamina had a great night on Friday.

The pair won the Women's Tag-Team Titles, bagged one of those pointy pics with Triple H and even got to cut an emotional post-match promo after beating Nia Jax and Shayna Baszler. Now, WWE's next hurdle is finding a suitable team to challenge the veterans.

You didn't miss any set up for that (there wasn't any), but you might've missed all 17 of the hidden gems in this article. SmackDown, as usual, had loads of fun little moments that needed an eagle eye, an itchy trigger finger on the pause button and a good pair of ears to spot and/or hear.

Roman Reigns spoke Vince McMahon's language, Paul Heyman revealed exactly how many World Title bouts the ex-'Big Dog' has been in, WWE dissed an undercard title for absolutely no reason and the graphics team got Dolph Ziggler's championship history wrong.

That's just for starters - there were loads of other sneaky moments. Two other vets did some spot calling, Shinsuke Nakamura gave 'King' Corbin a new nickname and more.

Here's everything you probably missed...
