— WWE referee Charles Robinson is walking around backstage at the SmackDown tapings with a fully-sequined “Little Nature Boy” robe on. No word on if this is for an angle at tonight’s TV tapings.
— For what it’s worth, there were rumors at RAW yesterday that Daniel Bryan would actually defeat World Heavyweight Champion Mark Henry in their steel cage match on tonight’s live SmackDown special. As always, creative plans constantly change so take this as strictly a rumor for now.
Regarding tonight’s match, Bryan wrote the following on Twitter:
“Tonight is the biggest match of my career, a steel cage match for the World Heavyweight Championship against Mark Henry. On SyFy at 8 pm.”
