21 WTF Moments From WWE Smackdown (8 August)

In which a diva optimistically promised to headline a future WrestleMania...

This week's Smackdown was primarily used to set up two further matches for the upcoming SummerSlam Pay Per View. Most match announcements are usually made on Raw, but with this year's PPV clocking in at a mammoth four hours, the WWE's secondary show actually had some storyline importance this week. The wrestling itself was incredibly pedestrian, with none of the show's four matches truly standing out as a highlight, but a few main angles were kept ticking over nicely - something of a rarity for Smackdown these days. Official business aside, the show also featured its usual dollop of confusion, chaos, and general strangeness. Fans were treated to several New Day antics, an Attitude Era-style catfight, and two (yes, two!) Roman Reigns crowd entrances - always a source of unscripted entertainment.

21. "I'm Taking My 70 Year Old Mother To See Roman Reigns"

No 'WTF Moments' would be complete without a bizarre crowd sign, but we're treated to one right off the bat this week. As the camera picked out a Roddy Piper sign (following a touching tribute to the deceased legend), it also inadvertently included this lurid green effort. If you look slightly to the right of the girl with the poster, you can actually see the mother in question - and she looks far from impressed with proceedings. Maybe she perked up when Roman made an appearance.

Highly overrated 23 year old from the North East of England. Hanging off of your gangster car.
