  • A lot of the footage for the A&E WWE series was filmed way back in 2022, from interviews, to on-site things as well.
  • AEW will be in Jacksonville next month, because Tony Khan needs to be in Jacksonville to prepare for the NFL draft.
  • Sammy Guevara has been backstage at AEW numerous times since his suspension started.
  • John Cena, Liv Morgan and Rhea Ripely all participated in a Fanatics-WWE signing recently.
  • As noted on our Fightful Select discord, the reason the screen went black during the Adam Copeland/Christian match was the show was officially switching from Dynamite to Rampage, and that is a requirement.
  • We also noted on Fightful Select's discord that there was a slightly different configuration for AEW Dynamite in Toronto.
  • Fightful is dropping interviews with Evil Uno (from Joel Pearl), Jade Cargill, Omos and Chad Gable over the next couple of weeks
Corey Brennan has learned some details from this week's NXT:

-Despite being added recently to the NXT roster, William Regal was not present at this week's tapings.

- The episode was titled 'My mind's playing Trick on me' internally.

-Dijak's 'I'm white' line was not originally planned, with everyone backstage getting a good laugh from the promo. Sean Ross Sapp was told it was off the cuff.

-The closing segment of NXT was one that was discussed at length beforehand. Ideas on how to keep Carmelo being obvious was a concern, as his height and eyes gave him away for many before the reveal. We haven't been able to confirm who stood in for Hayes in the entrance way.

- Nathan Frazer and Axiom have been drawing praise for their agility and speed, with officials being concerned about Frazer's opponents being able to keep up.
