Noteworthy Moments
The first noteworthy moment of WWE SmackDown this week came in the opening segment.

LA Knight also joined them as everyone called their shot at Cena’s title. R-Truth attacked Cena as he was leaving.
Another prime highlight was Cena returning to the ring to get revenge on Truth. Instead, he found himself confronted by CM Punk, who berated him for copying his style from years ago.

Holy Shit Moments
