Last night’s WWE SmackDown was an exciting show leading up to WrestleMania. Fans saw some big fights, great storytelling, and important announcements.
However, there was also some trouble when the Zelina Vega vs. Piper Niven match saw a wardrobe malfunction. It happened more than once, forcing WWE to cut the live broadcast multiple times.
During the match, WWE’s feed went black several times, leaving viewers wondering if there were technical difficulties. The show introduced Zega’s new theme music and gear after her move from the Raw brand as she faced off against the powerful Niven in front of an excited crowd.
Zega, a former women’s tag team champion, also wore new gear, but it caused some problems during the match. She seemed to experience two wardrobe malfunctions, including one while performing a 619 move as a tribute to the legendary Rey Mysterio.

To protect her, the screen blacked out twice, but this meant fans missed a part of the action. Many fans noticed the issue and shared their thoughts on social media as they watched live.
Fans react to WWE blackout on SmackDown
After the blackout happened twice during the match, fans quickly shared their reactions. Some people who were used to this kind of issue didn’t hesitate, but others who weren’t familiar with it asked if the technical problem happened to everyone or just them.
The surprising part was that WWE didn’t cut the live feed at the right moment, and many fans quickly noticed Zelina Vega’s nip slip.
