BACKSTAGE NOTES FROM RAW, WWE NETWORK AND MORE NEWS

By Mike Johnson on 2017-10-10 10:03:00

Bray Wyatt was not at Raw last night.  His appearance on the Titantron had been filmed in advance. 

Bo Dallas was not at Raw either.  The Miz sent him a "Get well" message on the air. 

There were a number of changes made to the Raw script over the course of last night's Raw.   The original plan was to feature a Three-Way between Emma, Nia Jax and Alicia Fox, where the winner would face Asuka at the TLC PPV.  Then, the decision was made to move that match to next week's show and hold a six woman tag.  Then, the decision was made to have a Five Way instead and hold it this week so the company could better promote Asuka's debut on the go-home show.

As we reported last night, the original plan to headline the show was for Neville challenging Enzo Amore, but that was changed to Kalisto instead.  Kalisto dedicated his Cruiserweight championship victory to the late Eddie Guerrero:

Primo Colon, Luke Harper and Erick Rowan have all been on the road of late but haven't been used on Smackdown TV.  The latter two have been used on live events.  Colon has not.

The Ric Flair/Sting/Ricky Steamboat Table for 3, which disappeared when Flair had his health issues last August, is now slated for a December airing on the WWE Network.

The Kevin Owens documentary that will look at a year in his life will air under the title WWE 365.

The Hardy Boys and Breezango each recently filmed footage for WWE Ride Along on the WWE Network.

We've had a few emails asking this, so for those who asked, Gabe Sapolsky was backstage at last week's NXT taping working in his consultancy role.  

WWE are already selling "Shield United" T-shirts along with special 20th anniversary edition D-Generation X shirts
