Make no mistake about it, Heath Slater is a bit-part player on the WWE roster. That was abundantly clear when he was placed in enhancement groups like 3MB and The Social Outcasts. Even stretching back to his days in The Corre, Slater has hardly been pushed. Still, there's something completely entertaining about the guy.

On SmackDown, he was credited with standing up to Brock Lesnar on Raw, but was then put against Randy Orton. 'The Viper' completely annihilated his foe, being so heavy handed that he was disqualified by the referee. Therefore, Heath actually ended up bagging himself a win.

Delusional and possibly concussed, he confused Daniel Bryan for Mick Foley and Shane McMahon for his sister Stephanie backstage. Everything Slater has been involved in on television this week has been golden, he stands out despite getting his head kicked in regularly.
