We saw Tyson Fury show up earlier in the night and have a showdown with one Braun Strowman, possibly setting up a big match. The buzzword for WWE has been 'real sports' ever since the news of SmackDown coming to FOX first surfaced.

The network wanted the presentation of the product to change on the blue brand and it seems like they're achieving the same with legitimate sports stars. It also leads to a more compelling storyline, where, for the first time, even the Beast Incarnate is on the back foot for a change.

I wonder if this will extend to all aspects of the show under Eric Bischoff, where the sports entertainment elements are gradually eliminated, one by one. I wouldn't necessarily be the biggest fan of this move, considering that many of us that watch WWE are not necessarily big sports fans.

But it is what it is, I guess.
