Probably one of the greatest shows of the year, WWE did everything in their power to deliver a brilliant show with SmackDown 1000, blending nostalgia with a fine dose of entertainment.

With Vince McMahon stunning the audience with a shock return, the WWE Universe was presented with tons of surprising elements on the show that made for exciting television.

Since the company already has two upcoming events under its belt, the creative team was clinical in its approach to create some differences between AJ Styles and Daniel Bryan.

Superstars such as Edge, The Undertaker, Batista, Triple H, Shane McMahon, Rey Mysterio, and Ric Flair made their presence felt and entertained the audience in attendance.

While the show was based entirely upon celebrating what the blue brand had achieved in its 1000 episodes, there were plenty of things that WWE tried to tease vicariously through a lot of their segments. What were they? Let's find out.

Here are the 5 biggest things WWE secretly told us on SmackDown 1000.


#1 Vince McMahon knows R-Truth is one of the most underutilized talents in the company's history

In what ended up being one of the most significant segments of the evening, the company did try to let their acknowledgment for R-Truth know vicariously through that promo.

Since Vince McMahon alongside with his children even planned to be in the same ring as R-Truth and Carmella justifies a lot what the company actually thinks about their talent.

There's no denying that the former United States Champion happens to be one of the most under-utilized talents in the company's history, with his sense of humor cracking audiences up every time he shows up on television.

While the dance break between all the five individuals in the ring was great, it was a perfect way to kick things off by letting the fans' know that the company definitely believes in R-Truth's ability to pull something off like this.

Judging by the amount of time these superstars were provided with, we certainly hope that they get more television time to show how entertaining they can be as a cohesive unit.

#2 Becky Lynch has grabbed the brass ring in a way no female superstar ever has

In what was a pretty intense segment with Edge, the Rated-R Superstar tried convincing Becky Lynch to embrace her old-self and become the best version of herself.

The Relentless Lass Kicker completely took over the segment and acknowledged herself as the reason for her success, and while her heel turn might not sit well with the fans, this anti-heroic attitude is ascending Lynch to the top of the sports entertainment industry.

Considering that there were reports from reliable publications that Vince McMahon is very impressed with what has transpired on SmackDown Live with Becky Lynch and has set her as an example for other superstars to look up to.

With all the hard work that the Irish sensation has put in her career, Becky Lynch's current WWE run could possibly be the greatest run for any female competitor in the WWE ring.

She has grabbed the brass ring in a way no female talent ever has and continues to catapult her personality on a weekly basis that has put her on a different level of stratosphere in the women's division.

#3 Batista Vs. Triple H is definitely happening at WrestleMania 35

Since there was bound to be a time when the WWE advances ahead with their plans and tease something monumental on SmackDown 1000, the Evolution took over the blue brand by storm and teased something epic.

Taking Batista's last WWE segment into consideration, the Animal certainly shared some personal grievances with Triple H after the Game disagreed to fulfill the promises he made to the Animal.

Considering that this was an ideal platform for them to reunite, Batista wasted no time and took a dig at Triple H for never being able to defeat him within the squared circle.

While his words did strike a chord with the WWE Universe, there's something that the company legitimately teased during the segment that could be true.

The Animal has openly stated his wish to clash against Triple H in his final match for the company and judging by what transpired tonight, we certainly believe that these two could be on a collision course at WrestleMania 35.

#4 The Undertaker was always a heel in his feud with D-Generation X

Arguably one of the greatest performers to ever grace the squared circle, the Undertaker's contribution to ascend SmackDown Live to where it is today can never be forgotten.

With the Phenom following a part-time schedule, his days as a professional wrestling have become limited now and the former World Champion's current feud with HBK and HHH could be one of his last before he pulls the curtain on an incredible career.

His backstage promo with Kane on Monday Night Raw certainly brought some old memories back but his return to the blue brand has definitely confirmed that the Phenom was always portraying the bad guy in this feud.

Since the Dead Man carries a supernatural aura which is neither a heel nor a babyface, his recent promos have certainly gravitated more attention from the audience because of his lack of respect for both his opponents.

While many have been criticizing WWE for booking such a short segment with the Undertaker tonight, the Phenom was clinical in his approach and definitely warned the talented faction.

#5 Miscommunications are the only way to book a feud between two extremely talented babyfaces

This was a little predictable

We all know that the creative team always has a hard time selling feuds that involves two of the biggest babyfaces competing against each other inside the squared circle.

If Shinsuke Nakamura's promising feud with A.J. Styles was anything to take into consideration, then it seems like the management definitely believes that miscommunications are a legitimate way to bring some heat between the two superstars.

Since A.J. Styles and Daniel Bryan are immensely popular among the WWE Universe, teaming up to square off against the Usos felt predictable in setting up some animosity between the two before they go head-to-head.

There's no denying that both the superstars can deliver a masterpiece between the ropes considering how versatile they are while competing on the blue brand, no feud can be sold without selling some narrative to engage the audience.

This miscommunication would certainly lead up to something special in the next few weeks, with both superstars eventually wanting to tear each other out to prove a point.
