- We will run the Smackdown producer list for next week's show on Friday.

- Talent that we spoke to since our article about WWE creative was published say that things have been much more straightforward since the TKO merger, and are more like they were in the last half of 2022 as opposed to the first nine months of 2023.

- Some of the official nicknames listed internally on run sheets by WWE include “The American Nightmare” Cody Rhodes, Seth “Freakin” Rollins, “Dirty” Dominik Mysterio and “The Greatest Of All Time” John Cena

Hyan 

Fightful’s Scott Edwards had the chance to interview HYAN ahead of her match against Giulia for the STRONG Women’s Championship at NJPW Fighting Spirit Unleashed.

 She discussed a number of topics including wanting to work in NJPW her whole career, facing Mickie James at RevPro’s anniversary show, and her dream opponents. When talking about NJPW, she said how it was always a dream of hers to work there. Her main future goal is to win a NJPW championship. At RevPro’s 11th Anniversary show, HYAN challenged for the British Women’s World Championship against Alex Windsor and Mickie James. She talked highly of Mickie and did everything to take in the moment being in there. HYAN noted that the continuous “Hardcore Country” chants are in her nightmares too. And finally, when she was asked about dream opponents, she named Tam Nakano, Mercedes Moné, Toni Storm, and Charlotte Flair. Make sure to check out the full interview on Fightful’s YouTube channel.
