10 Things you might have missed out on if you watched SmackDown after WrestleMania at home
Good morning, good afternoon and good evening and welcome back to the latest article of the 10 ‘Things you might have missed out’ series. As you may or may not already know we here at Sportskeeda were in Orlando, Florida throughout WrestleMania week and as such, we attended all of the main shows.
Some were good, some weren't so good and some were great - but one way or another they got fans talking.
In this entry, we'll be discussing the SmackDown Live after WrestleMania 33, which served as a curtain call for the week-long festivities in Orlando. It was the first time that the blue brand had the spotlight on them in a post-‘Mania setting for quite a few years, with the re-introduction of the brand split giving them the chance to get one over on their Raw counterparts.
Unfortunately, they didn't really succeed, but we did still get a string of fun moments that made the whole show feel more than worthy of signing off a really entertaining week. Sure, we didn't really get any definitive closure from The Undertaker as we were expecting, but then again who's to say he won't end up coming back for one more ride next year?
With that being said, here are 10 observations from attending the SD Live after Mania.
#1 Jumping the gun
Everyone in attendance for the episode of SmackDown Live after WrestleMania wanted to see Tye Dillinger, also known as the Perfect 10, debut on the show. We weren't entirely sure whether it would happen as an extended run down in NXT would've seemed equally likely, meaning that it was a nice little surprise once he eventually made an appearance on the blue brand.
Unfortunately, the execution wasn't great as they seemed to jump the gun when it came to actually bringing Tye out. First of all, Curt Hawkins' line about giving his competitor until the count of ten didn't really come across that well as the fans were chanting so loudly, and second of all Tye's tron is quite quiet so by ramping up the excitement we weren't really able to take it in until he was virtually out on the stage.
From one debutant to another.
