– We noted last night after RAW that WWE did not issue a Twitter poll asking fans if they enjoyed the show or not. It looks like WWE has dropped the weekly Twitter polls as they did not tweet a poll for tonight’s SmackDown either.
– It appears Primo and Epico have dropped their previous gimmicks after coming to SmackDown in the “Superstar Shakeup” last week. WWE has removed mentions of The Shining Stars and the team is now being referred to as The Colons on the WWE website and social media. They defeated Chad Gable and Jason Jordan on tonight’s SmackDown.
– OVW star Erick Locker was working as an extra at this week’s WWE RAW and SmackDown shows. Locker is the man who played Gary Gandy on tonight’s SmackDown. Gandy answered the first-ever “Face of America” Open Challenge from WWE United States Champion Kevin Owens and was quickly squashed.
– Shinsuke Nakamura has been on the blue brand for three weeks but has yet to wrestle a match on TV. He did defeat Dolph Ziggler in the dark main event after last week’s WWE 205 Live but he did not wrestle on tonight’s SmackDown from Louisville, KY. WWE aired this video package for Nakamura tonight.
