19 Things You Probably Missed From WWE SmackDown (July 16)

4. Seth Rollins Nearly Hit That Ladder

Keep your eye on Seth Rollins' head during Big E's spear-off-the-apron move above.

Do so, and you'll see that Seth's head came eerily close to colliding with a nearby ladder. Rollins gently bumped against the metal, but decided he'd be better off selling the impact anyway. Smart move, because it looked like he'd been positively wiped out at full speed.

3. A Cracking Finish!

Wiped...might be a poor choice of words.

Later, KO pulled Rollins' tights down a bit and exposed his butt crack to the world. Michael Cole stayed silent, but big, bold Pat McAfee was having none of that sh*t (again, a poor choice of words) and said, "We almost saw some cheeks there".

This was the old HBK spot. Well, almost. WWE stopped short of showing off Seth's bare arse to the world.

2. Rollins Holding The Ladder Steady

Almost being made an arse off wouldn't stop Seth from ensuring that KO didn't take a tumble minutes afterwards. He held the ladder steady so that Owens could stand up, get some height and then drop a massive elbow on Shinsuke Nakamura through the announce table.

WWE went to a wide shot of this, so it was possible to see Rollins doing Owens a favour (if, of course, you happened to be looking at the ladder's base and not the daredevil babyface perched atop it).
