7) WWE Continues To Delay Shinsuke Nakamura
Shinsuke Nakamura did not appear on Smackdown Live this week. This continues the trend of WWE stalling for time until Backlash in a few weeks.
In case you haven’t been keeping up, Nakamura won’t be wrestling his first main roster (televised) match until the Backlash pay-per-view. At the event, he will be facing Dolph Ziggler. Ziggler took some shots at Nakamura this week:

I personally don’t care that WWE is delaying Nakamura. I am just excited to see him wrestle at Backlash. Him and Ziggler will likely steal the show. I have to wonder how this is effecting the casual viewers and their thoughts on Shinsuke so far.
8) TWO New List Members This Week
On Smackdown Live this week, the ‘List Of Jericho’ got two new additions this week: Renee Young and Aiden English.
English was crying backstage after his loss against Tye Dillinger. After he walked by the interview, he was put on the list. Jericho also tossed Renee on the list for good measure.
