Flash back to Monday Night Raw, The New Day's Xavier Woods encouraged fans to chant the word 'Shame' repeatedly at Sheamus as the Irishman stood in the centre of the ring. A play on words, this was quite clearly an attempt to have something catch on that would draw heat for Sheamus.

Come SmackDown, it seemed the SmackDown crowd had been paying attention to what happened on Monday night. Carmella's promo segment with Nikki Bella was well-received, there were several moments when the heel actually put forward some truths that were acknowledged by the audience about Bella's personal life.

Seeking the opportunity to turn things back on her rival, Nikki said that Carmella should be ashamed of herself. Taking up for the babyface, fans again started chanting 'Shame' over and over again. Is this something that will catch on now when it comes to heels and their unsavoury actions?

Credit to the crowd for being so quick off the mark, they were only 24 hours removed from first hearing the chant on Raw.
