Select Portions: Roode & Aldis news, Reigns update, Smackdown producers
Added 2023-08-13 19:45:23 +0000 UTC- It should go without saying, but the Jey Uso spot on Smackdown was storyline. For some reason we've still got a lot of questions about it.
- Nick Aldis shadowed Petey Williams in producing the AJ Styles vs. Karrion Kross match on Smackdown, while Robert Roode worked with Jamie Noble in producing some backstage segments and the United States Title match.
- Roman Reigns is not expected to miss any scheduled dates to to his injury as of now, though that could change. We've been told the injury is not a back issue.
- There were some revisions made internally to keep the Rey Mysterio title win quiet.
- Fightful will be at this week's AEW Collision tapings.
- We're looking for more information, but there was a non-contracted talent that was brought in for Collision, then almost immediately left.

The fact that some scam accounts acted like Jey was going to show up at all in is maybe the stupidest thing I’ve ever seen. How could you possibly believe any part of that?

2023-08-14 00:45:50 +0000 UTCMaybe he wants to try something new? Maybe he's battling an injury. Maybe he wants to take some time to recover? If he didn't want to produce, he could wrestle elsewhere.
