Following a very unique-feeling Friday Night SmackDown broadcast, Stephanie McMahon took to social media to comment on the last-minute show being put together by a limited crew, and to share a behind-the-scenes photo of Triple H working as a cameraman in addition to his role as commentator for this week’s show.
She praised the staff for being able to scramble and put together the show, which was moved from its’ originally scheduled location at the Little Caesars Arena in Detroit, Michigan, to an empty arena inside the WWE Performance Center training facility in Orlando, Florida.
“Congratulations to everybody who worked so hard to make tonight’s SmackDown come to life,” Stephanie wrote in a statement released via her official Twitter page after Friday night’s broadcast. “From our crew to the WWE Superstars to the team at the PC, it was awesome!”
The WWE Chief Brand Officer would go on to share a behind-the-scenes photo from the special SmackDown taping, which shows her husband, WWE EVP of Global Talent Strategy & Development Paul “Triple H” Levesque working as a cameraman.
“I especially liked that new announcer, Triple H,” Stephanie wrote of ‘The Game,’ who also served as special announcer alongside Michael Cole for the show. “He was a cameraman too!”
The WWE CBO concluded, “Like the man said, we do it all for you!”
Check out the aforementioned photo of Triple H working as a cameraman behind-the-scenes at this week’s special episode of Friday Night SmackDown from an empty arena inside the WWE PC below.
