35 Things You Probably Missed From WWE SummerSlam 2021

32. Some Empties

Who knows if Kevin Dunn and crew spotted this themselves (or cared), but there were some empty seats over on the left hand side of the entrance as the cameras faced it. These gaps were visible during Randy Orton's entrance for the first match.

There's a chance those empties could've been late arrivals to Allegiant Stadium, to be fair. Either that or the ground level seating was too expensive for most.

31. Double Down On The Doves

WWE has added even more birds to Riddle's entrance - loads of digitised doves flapped their merry way towards the camera lens when he jumped over the top rope and into the ring. The commentary team seemed to notice that Riddle's flock had increased too.

"You don't get green doves, Saxton", said Corey Graves.

30. A DDT That Almost Went Wrong

This could've been embarrassing.

AJ Styles leapt over the back of Omos and DDT'd Riddle, but the big "colossus" didn't seem to know which side Styles would jump over. Omos ended up catching a blow to the back of the head, then shrugged AJ off and pushed him towards Riddle.

They made a nice adjustment in mid-air, at least.
