4. Daniel Bryan & Dean Ambrose Couldn't Stop Themselves From Laughing

Throughout the entire episode, Dean Ambrose dressed up as everything from a hockey player to The Mountie. It was as the latter character that Ambrose appeared to have the most fun, and he forced a laugh from Daniel Bryan backstage. Banned from the building by Shane McMahon, Dean wouldn't accept his fate for the evening.

A former WWF Intercontinental Champion, The Mountie was a relatively short-lived character played by Jacques Rougeau from 1991-1992. An obvious parody of the Canadian Mounted Police, the gimmick has gained some infamy as a cult-like persona. Ambrose was clearly having a blast portraying the character on SmackDown.

Taking his sunglasses off and repeating The Mountie's catchphrase, 'The Mountie Always Gets His Man', Ambrose and Bryan failed to keep a straight face. In truth, this only added to the segment, there's always something endearing about wrestlers having fun on camera.

Bryan even had to face palm so that he didn't completely crack. Despite the skit being throwaway, it did provide fans with this one little hidden gem of a moment.
