10) First WWE Celebrity Appearance Of 2018
Smackdown Live had its first celebrity in attendance for 2018. That would be NBA Hall of Famer: Karl Malone.
WCW fans will remember Malone teaming with DDP back in 1998. Pretty cool to see him 20 years later.
YES! YES! YES! @NBA Hall of Famer @TheDeliverer_32 is in the house!!! #SDLive pic.twitter.com/GyVUW3ZVc7

12) Becky Lynch Made Her Return To Smackdown Live!
Charlotte Flair interrupted the Riott Squad after their win on Smackdown Live. She told them that she had friends who wanted some revenge on them. The first person was Naomi, followed by the returning Becky Lynch!
Becky has been out for the past several weeks as she was filming a movie. Good to see her back and she received a nice pop from the crowd.
