Off-Air SmackDown Notes: Dark Matches, Low Attendance, Correction & More

– The entire top of the Bi Lo Center in Greenville, S.C. was tarped off for last night's SmackDown taping. It is estimated that close to 65% of the arena was tarped. The crowd was also pretty quiet for much of the evening.

– Ezekiel Jackson defeated Blaine Myers in a dark match to open last night's show.

– Orlando "Tito" Colon made his debut at last night's taping, wrestling as "Epico," his old FCW monicker. He lost to Sin Cara via disqualification after interference from Hunico, and proceeded to join Hunico in beating down Sin Cara. We had incorrectly reported in the spoilers last night that it was Primo (who is Colon's cousin) who faced Sin Cara (which we have fixed). Epico has history with Hunico, as the two teamed in FCW as Los Aviadores and held the promotion's tag titles last year.

– In the dark match at last night's taping, The Big Show and Sheamus defeated Christian and Mark Henry. Show chased Henry to the back during the match, allowing Sheamus to nail Christian with the Brogue kick to win the match.
