WWE SmackDown: 10 Things You Might Have Missed
5. The Singh Brothers Selling Their Battleground Bumps
Did anyone else notice both Singh Brothers selling the wounds of war from Battleground's Punjabi Prison match? Sunil had bandaging across his chest and arms, whereas Samir wore a neck brace to sell the huge bump he took through the announce table. That attention to detail is often sadly overlooked.
The Singhs were missing last week, so the slings and bandages they wore revealed both were in hospital recuperating. Meanwhile, Jinder Mahal didn't show any ill-effects of the Punjabi Prison, which only made the WWE Champion look stronger than both his minions put together. This was subtle, solid storytelling that enhanced the right man.
Sunil and Samir even clutched their injuries at certain points through the SmackDown main event between John Cena and Shinsuke Nakamura. Great work should never go without credit, and both henchmen deserve praise for staying true to their characters this week.
