Former SmackDown GM Teddy Long had some authority during last night’s throwback edition. He not only added high stakes to the Cesaro-Rollins WrestleMania rematch, and even booked a 10-man mega tag team match for the main event. However, before the announcement, Teddy decided to have some fun.

Well, honestly, when Teddy namedropped the ‘Deadman‘, we actually thought he was there for a moment. SmackDown was The Undertaker’s home for several years, so him being there could’ve been possible.
Luckily, it was just a little GM-rust (like ring rust) for Teddy as he made things right by booking a massive 10-man tag team match!

It’s safe to say this week’s Throwback edition of WWE SmackDown was a really impressive one. WWE did a good job and lived up to their expectations. However, we’re still sad because we didn’t get the real fist stage.
