WWE loves its tropes. Contract signings will end in a brawl. Trophies will get broken. And food will end up being thrown.

So when all the wrestlers converged on a large room where Paul Heyman was inexplicably eating a feast suitable for 20 people, you knew where it was going. And it was just as painful as you’d expect. In the middle of this all-out brawl to get to the roof and retrieve a briefcase that all but guarantees you a world title reign, everyone stopped to throw food at each other.

When this sort of thing happens during a Thanksgiving episode of SmackDown, we overlook it because it’s usually part of some backstage skit, not in the middle of a PPV match.
