Fire has a mind of it’s own.
On last night’s episode of SmackDown, Drew Mclntyre had a promo where he challenged Karrion Kross to a strap match at Extreme Rules. Drew was interrupted by Scarlett, which helped distract Drew for a sneak attack by Karrion Kross. Drew got the better of Kross and whipped him with the strap until Scarlett jumped in and hit Drew with a fireball. But, it didn’t go as planned. The fireball didn’t go off correctly and caused for some improvising by Mclntyre and Kross, Sean Ross Sapp of Fightful Select reports.
If you couldn’t tell, the flash paper segment on last night’s episode of Smackdown did not go as planned. We’re told that very clearly, the flash paper was not ready for live TV and didn’t work in a moment where it needed to catch enough of someone’s face to sell. Word got delivered to Karrion Kross to keep going. He and Drew McIntyre improvised the rest of what happened. We’re told that the flash paper was actually brought with the team that took the company jet to Smackdown, and wasn’t picked up locally or brought with the prop team.
