At the No Mercy pay-per-view this past Sunday night in Sacramento, Curt Hawkins trolled us all when he made good on his promise to “step in the ring” by literally doing just that before announcing he wouldn’t actually wrestle his first match until this week’s episode of SmackDown Live in San Jose. WWE, as late as just 28 minutes before the show was set to go on the air on USA Network, was promoting the same:

Said episode of SmackDown Live has come and gone and Curt Hawkins did not, in fact, have his FIRST MATCH.
Bunch of lying liars telling lies, man.
UPDATE: He gave an explanation.
