3 Hilarious botches you missed this week on SmackDown Live (July 2nd, 2019)

The build-up to Extreme Rules reaches fever pitch next week as WWE presents their go-home episode of both Raw and SmackDown Live ahead of the most extreme pay-per-view of the year.

Whilst most of the groundwork for the show has already been done since much of the card has been announced, stipulations for matches as well as additions to Championship matches are still taking place.

Last night on SmackDown Live, Heavy Machinery were added to the SmackDown Tag Team Championship match to make it a triple threat between Daniel Bryan and Erick Rowan, The New Day and Tucker and Otis. Shane McMahon also announced that his tag team match where he will be teaming with Drew McIntyre to take on Roman Reigns and The Undertaker will now be a No Holds Barred match.

Extreme Rules is shaping up, but that doesn't mean that there weren't a few botches that may have gone unnoticed as part of last night's show.

#3. Music botch

Shane McMahon's music randomly played and stopped on its own

This week's episode of SmackDown Live kicked off with The Kevin Owens show, which set the scene for Shane McMahon to announce the new stipulation for his match at Extreme Rules. Kevin Owens obviously wasn't all that bothered about his match since KO isn't currently on the card for Extreme Rules, which led to both Drew McIntyre and Shane McMahon getting annoyed with his sarcasm.

This interestingly brought Dolph Ziggler out so that McMahon could set up their match for later in the night, but as Shane went to leave, the production team played his music for a second before realizing that Ziggler and Owens still had to close the segment and turned it straight back off.

#2. Probably should have cut out much sooner

Is swearing acceptable in WWE now or not?

It's interesting that WWE are slowly slipping out of their PG bubble since last night on Raw Corey Graves was allowed to swear when Braun Strowman speared Bobby Lashley through the stage, but when Kofi Kingston told Samoa Joe what he thought of him in sign language, the feed to the show had to be cut.

The issue here was the fact that the feed wasn't cut soon enough since it was clear what Kingston had done and the feed was then down for so long that the WWE Universe almost missed the Trouble In Paradise that took Joe down.

SmackDown and Raw are streamed live at the same time why is one form of swearing acceptable in the storyline but another isn't and if it's not acceptable then why include it as part of the show?

So actually swearing is ok, just not in sign language? pic.twitter.com/0OcA7Xpa8Z

#1. Tucker tagged in too soon

Tucker tagged in too soon following the double down spot

Heavy Machinery main evented this week's episode of SmackDown Live as they took on Kevin Owens and Dolph Ziggler for a shot at the SmackDown Tag Team Championships at Extreme Rules.

It was a strange match since The New Day and the Tag Team Champions were at ringside before they decided to start a brawl and were ejected, which then forced the match to be restarted for no reason, since none of the men actually involved themselves in the match.

During the double down spot, it's always the heel that gets the tag first so that the crowd can cheer for the face tag afterward. Tucker had his back to Dolph Ziggler so he couldn't see when the tag was happening and Otis didn't give him the cue, which meant that the faces tagged in first, which is not standard protocol following a double down.
