WWE Re-Shoots Final Angle On Smackdown For American Airing On USA Network

Submitted by Jeff Whalen on

WWE held last night's Friday Night Smackdown in Dublin, Ireland and aired it live in the afternoon for international viewers on Netflix. Several hours later, the episode aired for American viewers on the USA Network and there was one change that WWE made affecting the final segment.

In this segment, Logan Paul jumps John Cena as he is talking to GM Nick Aldis and getting ready to leave the arena. In the original version that aired on Netflix, Paul appears out of nowhere and his sucker punch was captured from a side angle which clearly showed him missing with the punch.

In the re-taped segment, the camera angle was slightly different, positioned behind Cena and capturing Paul sneaking in from behind Aldis and shoving him out of the way. From this angle, the punch isn't seen in any great detail. You can see both versions in the clips below.
