WWE SmackDown: 10 Things You Might Have Missed (Nov 22)
6. David Otunga Becomes A Keyboard Warrior
This week, David Otunga has been making some powerful enemies on social media. During a match between The Miz and Kalisto, the announcers started talking about Otunga's recent activity on Twitter. Firstly, David pointed out KO's waistline at Survivor Series, a line one fan enjoyed so much he decided to Tweet Otunga about it.
That didn't sit well with the WWE Universal Champ, he tore through the commentator by claiming this person obviously hadn't seen Otunga wrestle. Incredibly, Otunga wasn't finished there, he also started talking about Miz and said the WWE Intercontinental Champion isn't actually that athletic.
According to Otunga, The Miz approached him backstage and wanted an explanation for the remark. This reeks of pure storyline, although it is rather strange that a supposedly unbiased announcer is acting this way. The likes of Mauro Ranallo and JBL didn't call into question why Otunga would provoke two top champions from Raw and SmackDown online.
Conversation about KO, Miz and Otunga felt slightly muted too, almost like the latter was genuinely trying to defend his actions. The whole thing felt pretty weird, and was easily missed.
