18 Things You Probably Missed From WWE SmackDown (April 23)

9. “I’m Gonna’ Try”

D-Bry asked Adam Pearce if Cesaro was going to get his deserved Universal Title opportunity during a short promo backstage. An uncomfortable Pearce replied, "It's not that simple, but I'm gonna' try". Wait, what? Why is it "not that simple"?

Kevin Owens got a random Intercontinental Title shot in the very next segment, and Pearce was presumably the one who set that up. Why can he make matches willy nilly when he feels like it one minute, but not the next?

Attention to detail matters. It was poor of WWE to follow up this skit with that match.
