18 Things You Might Have Missed From Last Night’s WWE SmackDown

6. Joe Didn’t Get An Entrance For The Main Event

Last week, hopes were high that Samoa Joe and Daniel Bryan would get 15-20 minutes of ring time and tear the house down to decide that last MITB spot. They actually got over 21 minutes, albeit not in a singles effort; Big Cass was in there to make it a Triple Threat and the majesty of that Joe vs. Bryan clash will have to wait.

That wasn't the only slight disappointment. Another came when one realised that Joe didn't even get an entrance and Cass (the man WWE wanted fans to believe might ruin the party) was given half his usual routine.

This was a strange call for such an important match, especially when Joe was going to win the thing.
