Former WWE higher-up Pat Patterson was backstage at the SmackDown! tapings in Tampa this past Tuesday night. With the Royal Rumble (a match he created) right around the corner, many found the timing of his appearance a little odd. Pat also took part in the pre-show production meeting before the show. We’re not sure at this time whether he will be lending a hand on the booking of the Rumble match.
Dory Funk Jr., Bryan Adams, Mideon, and The Cuban Assasin Fidel Sierra were also backstage at the tapings.
Former ECW star New Jack was not backstage at the taping.
