WWE Raw Backstage News, Producers, Top Merch Sellers
Added 2024-09-03 21:00:05 +0000 UTCThere was a talent meeting ahead of WWE Raw, where many things were discussed. Among them included encouraging talent to not curse as much on camera and to be cognizant of when a camera is on them. They were told that it won't be a free for all on Netflix, but there would be less censorship.
Joe Hendry wasn't at WWE Raw despite being in town the night prior.
There was a lot of excitement around Joe Tessitore's debut, but those we spoke to admitted there would be growing pains and hiccups. Word we got after the show was that WWE were satisfied with how things went, and though Tessitore sounded great on the air.
Kairi Sane got stitches above her eye, and was otherwise okay.
Cody Rhodes topped the European tour merch sales charts internally, with CM Punk at the number 2 spot. We're told the highest grossing item at Bash In Berlin was the signed Cody Rhodes weight belt.
For those asking where Roman Reigns falls on these charts, he usually is among the top sellers when he's on the shows.
There were several dates on the WWE European tour that broke merch sale records for their respective cities for WWE.

Comments
I sense we'll get a Cody Rhodes vs CM Punk feud. Do they usually have the top selling guys in merchandise feud? Never thought about that. Maybe they won't feud.

You have New Day, American Made, Alpha Academy, the Wyatt Sicks, and Judgment Day. Triple H needs to freshen up the division with new talent so the division rivalries don't get stale.

2024-09-04 06:08:05 +0000 UTCCouple thoughts: I really hope HHH doesn't break the New Day up and turn Xavier heel. I think the tag team division would be hurt if you broke up the New Day because there aren't many teams to go up against. Second, how weak does Liv look for injuring Rhea and then running away knowing Rhea wouldn't be able to keep up? If you want Liv as a strong heel, mock Rhea because she is injured and then go after the leg again. That would strengthen Liv as a heel.
