8 Ups & 3 Downs From WWE SmackDown (Aug 28)

2. Kayla Braxton Hiding?

After Pearce tried and failed to get into Roman Reigns' locker room, he stormed away in disgust and Kayla Braxton could be seen...hiding behind a random pillar? Then, SmackDown's roving reporter leapt out on 'King' Corbin, who just so happened to be walking that way.

Why was she behind a pillar? How did Kayla know Corbin would be there? So many questions.

This isn't a new phenomenon for WWE, but it is one they should stop. Braxton (and other backstage interviewers) look like little weirdos by jumping out on people they'd like to interview, and it's almost like they can read minds when they know who's going where and when.

Going from Pearce to Braxton was clumsy. The production team shouldn't have let this one fly; somebody should've spoken up in a meeting and pointed out that Kayla would look hella' weird here, which she did.
