Another week of WWE programming has culminated with WWE RAW, SmackDown and NXT all in the books. The week began with yet another entertaining episode of WWE RAW headlined by Alexa Bliss defeating WWE RAW Women's Champion Asuka, by seemingly assuming The Fiend's personality. The episode also marked the return of Gillberg to WWE after a four year gap.
Over on WWE NXT on Wednesday, NXT Champion Finn Balor finally decided to align himself with the Undisputed Era to take down the Kings of NXT. Apart from this, the Women's Dusty Rhodes Tag Team tournament also kickstarted on the show, with Kacy Catanzaro and Kayden Carter pulling off an upset victory over Toni Storm and Mercedes Martinez. The highly-anticipated Fight Pit main event ended with Timothy Thatcher yet again standing tall over Tommaso Ciampa.
WWE SmackDown, however, ended the week on a bang. The show saw SmackDown Women's Champion Sasha Banks wrestling an intergender match against Carmella's crony, Reginald. Kevin Owens finally got the upper-hand in his rivalry against Universal Champion Roman Reigns, as he resoundingly took down the Tribal Chief.
That said, the week wasn't short of humor, as there will several moments across all the shows that made the fans have a good laugh. Here in this article, we will take a look at five such hilarious moments. Do share your favorites in the comments section below.
#5 Sami Zayn and his fight against unfair treatment (WWE SmackDown)
Former WWE Intercontinental Champion Sami Zayn was in great comedic-form on this week's SmackDown. Playing the role of a delusional man who thinks everything is a conspiracy against him to perfection, he almost stole the show with his antics.
Right after the first segment, Zayn made his way to the entrance area and handcuffed himself. He brought several placards along with him and his own cameraman, who would document his struggle to get justice after he was defeated by Apollo Crews last week through nefarious means.
However, the Great Liberator had a trick up his sleeve when he released himself from the handcuffs during the IC title match between Big E and Crews and attacked the latter, to end the match prematurely. Now that he has made his intentions clear, a three-way match for the Intercontinental Championship seems to be on the card, where Zayn can regain his title by using his own underhanded tactics.
#4 Kacy Catanzaro and Kayden Carter's victory dance (WWE NXT)
There's nothing more heart-warming yet fun than seeing underdogs in WWE win by defeating all the odds, and then engage in goofy antics rather than delivering a rousing speech. That's exactly what happened on this week's WWE NXT. After registering a genuinely shocking victory over the team of Toni Storm and Mercedes Martinez, Kacy Catanzaro and Kayden Carter did a pretty funny dance backstage. They looked overjoyed and on top of the world during the interview.
While their win could be partly attributed to NXT Women's Champion Io Shirai's interference, they nevertheless won and found their place in the second round of the first-ever Women's Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic.
That said, this tournament can prove to be a showcase for several women in NXT who have struggled to find TV time owing to a stacked roster. Especially a talent like Catanzaro, who had a standout moment in the 2019 Royal Rumble match, yet found herself sitting on the bench for most of the following two years.
#3 Omos intimidates Adam Pearce, while AJ Styles looks on (WWE RAW)
After asking AJ Styles to wrestle a match on last week's WWE RAW, Adam Pearce yet again booked him for a match on this week's episode. Annoyed by it, Styles took some pot-shots at Pearce withdrawing from the WWE Universal Championship match against Roman Reigns at Royal Rumble 2021. When the WWE official thought of retaliating, Omos gave a kind of look that sent shivers down the spine of Pearce.
It was a pretty hilarious moment, elevated even more by Styles' reaction to Pearce getting scared. The former two-time WWE Champion has low-key developed his comedic chops since moving to WWE RAW and has been funny in most of his segments.
WWE has done a decent job of subtly teasing a feud between The Phenomenal One and the former five-time NWA Champion in the last couple of weeks. Considering this staredown he had with Omos, Pearce could also get into the ring with the giant and have an entertaining big man VS small man fight.
#2 Bianca Belair carries Otis on her back (WWE SmackDown)
During this week's WWE SmackDown, a segment called 'Obstacle Course Challenge' featuring Bayley and Bianca Belair was promoted. While the thought of two of the best wrestlers in the world playing a game instead of wrestling sounded disappointing, this turned out to be surprisingly entertaining.
However, the most jaw-dropping, as well as the most hilarious part of the segment, happened when Bianca had to carry Otis on her back to finish the challenge. While the EST of WWE initially looked hesitant, she somehow found the strength and completed the task.
Otis was also in his usual comedic element as he motivated Bianca by uttering his signature 'Yeahhhh' in own his distinct style. Former WWE SmackDown Women's Champion Bayley also delivered the goods, and it must be noted that she has some brilliant comic chops she's been building on.
With Royal Rumble 2021 around the corner, Bianca is one of the favorites to win the Women's Rumble match, and find her way to WrestleMania 37, where she would possibly collide with Sasha Banks.
#1 Gillberg shows up on The Dirt Sheet hosted by The Miz and John Morrison (WWE RAW)
This week's WWE RAW featured the monumental and earth-shattering return of none other than...Gillberg. While The Miz and John Morrison promoted Goldberg's appearance all through the show, it was the WCW legend's parody version that showed up.
After Gillberg delivered a few funny lines about why he ends up busting his head regularly, WWE Champion Drew McIntyre's music hit, and out came a random guy dressed up as the Scottish Psychopath. The two then engaged in a hilarious back-and-forth, with the fake McIntyre even asking for a retake if he messed things up.
While some fans did expect Gillberg to show up - after all, why would Goldberg accept an invitation by The Miz and John Morrison? - this was still a pretty good surprise that led to some funny moments on WWE RAW.
Most importantly, it was heartwarming to see Gillberg show up on WWE programming just two months after he suffered a heart attack that kept him in the ICU for a couple of days.
