Backstage News, Scoops
- Some members of the creative team are overseas in Saudi Arabia as well.
- WWE is told by talent and staff that they are being "looked after very well" on this trip.
- Byron Saxton made the trip as well, and was replaced with Robert Strauss on NXT LVL UP commentary
- Imperium and Paul Heyman are scheduled to be at the show.
- Ref assignments are as follows: Eddie Orengo for Rhodes/Lesnar and IC Title, Danilo Anfibio for Lynch/Stratus, Ryan Tran for the World Title match, Jessika Carr for Asuka/Bianca, Daphne LaShaunn for Natalya/Ripley, and Dan Engler for the tag title match
- There was a monitor set up under the ring for Zoey Stark's interference.
- We have not heard that Vince McMahon is present for the show.
- After Seth Rollins' win, the WWE higher up we spoke to about the Seth Rollins story dropped us a "see? No concerns about Rollins' schedule" message after his win.
- It goes without saying, but Cody Rhodes' arm injury is just storyline. Still, we've had many people asking about it. The feud will continue.
- Many of the names who were shown front row were in Saudi Arabia doing media for WWE.

2023-05-27 18:06:30 +0000 UTCCalling them the “Wild SamiOwens” going forward 😂😂
2023-05-27 17:08:34 +0000 UTCIt is, but it’s better to have them open then go second to last and then get followed by Roman, first and last are the best two places on the card
