• WWE Re-Shot The Ending Of SmackDown Due To Logan Paul’s Botch (Video)
Yesterday’s SmackDown aired LIVE from Dublin, Ireland on Netflix for fans outside of the United States. It aired at the usual time on the USA Network later. In the closing segment, Nick Aldis met John Cena and said he just talked to Brock Lesnar and… Logan Paul knocked out Cena before Aldis could continue.
In the version that aired on Netflix, it was clearly visible that Logan didn’t connect with the punch.
WWE fixed this in the USA Network version by re-shooting this segment from a different angle, where Logan pushed Aldis before punching Cena. You can watch it below:

WWE has been counterprogramming AEW PPVs a lot as of late. This Sunday will feature AEW’s Forbidden Door PPV and NXT’s Heatwave PLE. On September 20th, WWE will air a main roster PLE head-to-head against an AEW PPV for this first time ever, as it will be Wrestlepalooza vs. All Out.
During an interview with TV Insider, Mercedes Moné (fka Sasha Banks) was asked about her reaction to WWE’s counterprogramming measures. Here’s what the AEW TBS Women’s Champion said:
“I don’t watch them. I don’t care about them. I’m 8 Belts Moné. I’m a champion of so many different companies. So the more the merrier. If they want to put on wrestling shows while we have wrestling shows, I’m always going to be better. That’s why I call myself The CEO.
They can keep on doing whatever they want to do, but AEW is taking over. If you want to watch the best, good wrestling, watch AEW.”
