19 Things You Probably Missed From WWE SmackDown (March 19)

3. Cole’s Texts

Cole and Graves juggle a lot of business from behind that commentary desk.

The pair have to explain stories, develop characters, talk about the match in front of them, put over sponsors and do it all whilst somebody shouts at them through their headsets. It's a skill few can master, but it appears that MC is quite the multi-tasker.

His phone was shown sitting on the desk for a split second when Shayna Baszler was thrown over it by Natalya and Tamina. Pause at the right moment and you'd see that Cole was texting somebody back and forth during the show. Presumably, he was chatting to WWE producers.
