19 Things You Probably Missed From WWE SmackDown (July 16)
13. Sami Zayn Takes A Boot To The Mush
Finn Bálor's return to the "main roster" was another highlight on this week's energetic show, but the Irishman seemed to catch poor Sami Zayn in the chops during his double foot stomp spot. Look closely and you'll see that Sami took the heel of Finn's boot to his chin.
That had to hurt.
12. Dancing > Titles?
Carmella's entrance graphic noted that she was once a "Former [member of the] LA Lakers Dance Team". WWE also mentioned her Money In The Bank and 2019 WrestleMania Women's Battle Royal wins. Y'know what wasn't mentioned?
Her reign as SmackDown Women's Champion.
This was a huge omission, because 'Mella was working Bianca Belair for that same title on this week's broadcast. Somebody dropped the ball big time there - NBA cheerleading isn't more important than championship wins.
11. Pat McAfee’s Weird Line
Pat McAfee has been brilliant since joining Michael Cole on commentary, but one of his lines during the SmackDown Women's Title match was weird. Bianca slapped her behind after bumping Carmella, and McAfee said, "Kiss my ass - that's what Belair is saying to Carmella and has said to many of you".
Erm...what?
She's not a heel, Pat! The colour commentator made it sound like Belair tells the fans to kiss her ass on the regular, which simply isn't true. He must've been a little bit mixed up there and said the wrong thing. Surely.
