5 Ups & 4 Downs From WWE SmackDown (14 Feb)

1. That Ending

King Corbin

The announcers told fans several times that 'King' Corbin had been fined and banned from competing for "unprofessional conduct" last week (he beat up some production staffers and poured a drink over some planted fan's head). Corbin then had to wave his front row ticket around as an excuse to enter for the main event.

That was where logic ended, assuming one doesn't mind WWE dumping all over the demand for tix by writing Corbin to buy one last minute. After the main event tag match, the 'King' ran in, thumped Roman Reigns in the head with his sceptre and then posed on the stage.

Erm...what?

Why was Corbin's throne on the stage to begin with, and why did WWE have his entrance music queued up if he wasn't supposed to be there? He'd supposedly been barred from competing on SmackDown, so this didn't make any sense at all. Why is logic so hard?
