When headline-making stories go down, particularly involving sports or entertainment, WWE usually finds a creative way to weave them into its live television broadcasts. Such was the case on Raw this Monday.
Less than 24 hours after the Oscars closed with an accidental announcement of the wrong “Best Picture” winner, The New Day hit the squared circle to talk some trash ahead of their tag team match Monday night.
The only problem? They mouthed off to the wrong tag team, which found out it not only wasn’t facing The New Day but would instead be in a handicap match against the 7-foot, 383-pound Big Show (who is actually lighter these days, though his new weight is not listed).
While not the funniest moment on WWE television, it was definitely comical and enjoyable, especially for anyone who stayed up late to catch the end of the Oscars on Sunday.
