20 Things You Probably Missed From WWE SmackDown (March 12)

4. Don’t Say Hospital!

Big E Medical Facility Hospital

WWE lifers will know that Vince McMahon hates the word "hospital". That's why, when Big E was explaining the beating that was coming Apollo Crews' way for taking him out three weeks ago, the reigning IC Champion hesitated before saying that he'd been "laid up in a medical facility".

Medical facility = Vince's hospital.

Why does the boss have such a problem with that word? Again, it's a mystery. Some have guessed before that he doesn't like the thought of WWE stars coming across as normal people who'd go to A&E, and he defo doesn't want them to get treated in the same wards as punters.
