VIDEO: Special Tribute Entrance Before This Week’s SmackDown

That has been the case more than once over the years and someone paid tribute to a classic this week.

McAfee beat on the announcers’ table with the cane before taking his seat. This was done as a tribute to the Sandman, who wrestled in the original run of ECW.
