1) The Ring Ropes Changed Color (For One Night Only)
You might have noticed that the ropes were different on Smackdown Live this week. In honor of July 4th, the ropes were red, white and blue.
Here is a photo of the ring ropes from a fan in attendance:

Scott Dawson of the Revival thinks that this should be a permanent change:
Let’s keep those red, white, & blue ropes. #SDLive

Happy Independence Day to all of my readers! Now on to the show itself!
2) John Cena Returned To Smackdown Live (And Called Out Everybody)
This week’s episode of Smackdown Live kicked off with John Cena! This was the first time that fans have seen him since Wrestlemania 33 as he was off filming movies.
Cena called out everybody now that he is a free agent. He name dropped: AJ Styles, Shinsuke Nakamura, Brock Lesnar, Seth Rollins, Kevin Owens and even Roman Reigns.
The reason @JohnCena is a free agent? He wants to take on ALL COMERS, whether it’s on #SDLive or even Monday Night #RAW! pic.twitter.com/SX9NKYzfP8
