Originally Becky Lynch was scheduled to defend the Raw Women's title against Bianca Belair, Doudrop, and Liv Morgan in a Fatal Four-Way match in Youngstown, Ohio. For unknown reasons Lynch decided not to work the show and the match was changed to a triple threat at the last minute. (WO)

In this interview former WWE referee Mike Chioda says John Cena legitimately choked out Umaga at the 2007 Royal Rumble: "John Cena had a rope around his neck and he was actually choking Umaga out, and Umaga passed out. I'm sitting there going 'Eckie, Eckie,' at first I'm like 'What do you say Umaga, what do you say? Do you want to give it up, do you want to quit?' I remember Umaga passed out and I was like 'Eckie, Eckie, can you hear me?' And then I was like 'John, let go, let go' and yeah, he choked him out and Umaga passed out. Umaga passed out, he couldn't answer anything, he was out like a light. That's why I got so worried about Eckie man, my god, I was thinking was he concussed? But no, the rope got him and choked him out, and he passed out. I didn't even know Eckie was passed out, I was pissed. He was shoot passed out, shoot passed out. He was totally out of it."

Before WWE Raw even made it to air last night in Columbus, Ohio the word came out that NXT 2.0's Tommaso Ciampa was backstage at the show. (PWI) When the show went live he debuted a new theme song AND defeated Robert Roode in the process. (WWE)

Here Sam Roberts discusses his recent SmackDown appearance: "I walked in to the back of the arena, my producer is there and working with Happy Corbin on the segment before I'm on. 'Sam, you're here, great. Here's what you're going to do.' Here come the Usos, they're like, 'You just show up whenever you want Sam?' 'Uce, I literally just got here. They called me at home at 4:30.' 'For this? I'm sorry.' I said, 'Sorry? I get the privilege of getting to talk to you on Friday Night SmackDown, don't ever say you're sorry. You're the SmackDown Tag Team Champions. You're part of the Bloodline.' It's literally, out the car, into the arena, hello to the producer and writers, and onto the interview set. Your boy has never been on SmackDown. Is this really happening? 'First thing we're going to do, you talk to the Usos, there won't be any audio. It's just a preview, talk to them, no audio, and we're going to break.' I probably didn't know we were 'on the air, on the air,' because my brain was still all over the place. I'm thinking to myself, 'four hours ago, I was building Lego with my son thinking it would be an easy Friday.' We do the thing and it's live. We do it, we're talking and showing our fingers, and we go to break. They put an obscene amount of trust in me. They put more trust in me than I have in myself. I get treated very well at WWE. 'You know what you're doing, you know how to talk into a microphone.' 'If you say so. I don't know if I'd put that much faith in me, but if you're putting that much faith in me, you seem good at your job, so I'll trust you.' 'Introduce yourself, introduce the Usos, ask them about the contract signing.' If you look at the segment, there is a split segment where I'm looking at the camera and not saying anything, but I'm smiling. In that moment, I'm thinking about everything. I'm thinking about the fact that I'm there at all. A lot of people talk about a dream come true. This is it. This is that moment…When I get called at 4:38 in the afternoon and the call is, 'we have the coolest opportunity in the world for you if you show up and can get here.' Ain't no time in the world I would have said, 'I don't think I can do it.' Five minutes before we were live, I had a text from Bruce Prichard and he said, 'Are you here?' 'Yeah.' 'I was hoping you would run out of gas.' I would have hitchhiked."

In this interview Corey Graves discusses why he didn't reveal he was medically cleared to wrestle sooner: "The news for some reason took about eight months to break, which I'm sort of proud of and a little bit surprised in this day and age. I wasn't necessarily hiding it from anybody, it was just not something I was bringing to the forefront, because I didn't want everybody to go, 'Oh my god, Graves is making a comeback.'"
