6 Ups & 4 Downs From WWE SmackDown (July 14)

2. Why Did They Need Tickets?

Right, what was this all about?

Bayley, IYO SKY and Charlotte Flair all waved around tickets for SmackDown like they'd be punted from the building if they didn't produce them. Erm...all three were in the arena for the show anyway, and exactly none of them had been outright banned by default GM Adam Pearce.

If there were, then the commentators/WWE in general certainly didn't make enough noise about that. It was pretty weird too, because Charlotte was leaving the building before Bayley and IYO revealed they might cash in Money In The Bank during Asuka vs. Bianca Belair. Did Flair need to purchase a ticket to get back in, or something?

To top it all off, everyone ended up getting involved in the headliner anyway, and it's not like security flooded ringside to try and eject them for hopping the barricade. This was a minor detail, but an irritating one.
