- Many in the locker room this week got a laugh out of a joke Bradshaw made that apparently offended Stephanie McMahon. Stephanie hired current vignette producer Dominick P, who is a close friend of her's, despite the fact he has no understanding or background in wrestling.

Dominick approached Bradshaw about an idea he had concerning an upcoming feud between the APA and The World's Greatest Tag Team. He suggested that TWGTT attack Bradshaw on the set of Neil Cavuto’s Fox News show, where Bradshaw does out-of-character appearances as a financial expert. Bradshaw shot down the idea, and when he asked Dominick for other idea's, he was blank. After that Bradshaw told Stephanie that "hiring Dominick was like losing three good men."

- Another quick update on Ernest Miller's release. It is said he was informed of his release after the weekly meeting. The big reason for it was most felt his in-ring work was lacking, and Miller was not willing to try and improve.

- Over the weekend Rikishi's luggage was lost, forcing him to wrestle the weekend in normal street clothes.

- The SmackDown brand had another "fun travel experience" over the weekend. Firstly, they stopped the plane on the runway before it pulled up to the gate, and then security checked almost all of the worker’s bags.

Not only was this a delay but apparently going through customs was another long ordeal. After these two major delay's it left the talent with little time to do anything before the show started. In addition to this, some of the diva's were forced to miss personal appearances.
