What is happening? ? It is absolute CHAOS here on #SmackDown!
Cross would jump on the commentary desk and sit in the lap of Wade Barrett while asking if Michael Cole would be her best friend. Natalya would join and watch from the other side of the ring. Carmella wasn’t pleased with Barrett’s commentary so started doing it herself.
