7) New Brand, Still A Jobber
Speaking of fresh starts, Jinder Mahal was also announced as a Smackdown Live pick-up in the ‘Superstar Shake-Up’.
Jinder faced off against Mojo Rawley on this weeks episode of Smackdown. The two have history stemming from the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal at Wrestlemania 33.

Jinder lost the match and had a beer thrown in his face by Gronk. If you were hoping a change of scenery would give Jinder a push, you were wrong.
8) Shane McMahon Trolled Us All
This weeks episode of Smackdown Live featured the ‘State of the Smackdown Women’s division’ hosted by Shane McMahon.
Shane announced the newest superstar to join the roster. He said that her father is a WWE Hall of Famer. He said that she is a second generation superstar and her dad is one of the greatest of all-time. Everyone in attendance started WOOO’ing, assuming it was Charlotte. Turns out it was Tamina!

I will admit, you got me Shane. Wait, wasn’t Tamina already on the Smackdown roster?
Use the buttons below for the next thing that we learned from this week’s episode of Smackdown Live.
Clarification: Tamina was never officially part of either brand because she was out for injury and then she was caring for her ailing father.
