It looks like we have a trend. There is a lot of stuff going on during a wrestling show and that includes a variety of things that you don’t see. There are all kinds of things that you can see in the arena alone, including hype packages and advertisements for shows that are coming up on the WWE Network. At the same time though, WWE occasionally lets us see those special segments and they did it again this week.
WWE has posted a pair of exclusive videos from SmackDown Live with segments that took place during the commercials and only aired for the live crowd. This seems to be becoming a new trend for WWE, as they first debuted the videos from last night’s Monday Night Raw after almost never airing them in the first place. There is no word on if this will be a recurring act or not.
The best kept secret will be known. Check out Buddy Murphy introducing himself to the SmackDown audience:
And from these two again. Check out the IIconics running down Kentucky:
Opinion: Out of everything WWE has on its website, they pick this to advertise? I mean, fine, but it’s not like these things mean that much at the end of the day. They’re just quick promos that could probably air on television or just not even air at all. Maybe they help with keeping the live fans entertained better than the same videos over and over again, but it’s not like they’re necessary viewing.
