Sometimes these things happen in pro wrestling.
Before Drew McIntyre was off of WWE TV, he and his frienemy Sheamus competed both with and against one another. Their hard-hitting styles drew the praise of many WWE fans, and the two teamed up semi-regularly. Sheamus had already been involved in a trio with Ridge Holland and Butch called “the Brawling Brutes.” However, when Sheamus and...

There was something of note filmed at Smackdown this afternoon.
Triple H was filming backstage at Smackdown for upcoming promotional materials. We're told one of the lines was "anything worth doing, is worth doing twice."
This likely is a reference to WrestleMania Las Vegas as opposed to the Katie Vick storyline.
We're told a black SUV was set up for the filming.
