These notes have no RAW spoilers, even though it is currently underway. However, you may talk about the 26th October RAW in this thread.
* The WWE had hoped that a lot of major celebrities would be in the crowd because the show was in Los Angeles.
* There was a pitch to keep the alliance between Rusev, Sheamus and Bad News Barrett going for a while longer. It was noted that all three men are native Europeans and could form an anti-American faction, and there are also a few other active stables.
* Alberto Del Rio's surprise return and title win does mean that he is back with WWE. His new deal allows him to work a lighter schedule than before while finishing off any other duties he has with outside companies. He is currently the Mega Champion in AAA, who knew that Del Rio had signed a deal. However, the WWE only informed AAA that Del Rio was making his debut only 30 minutes before it happened. There is a strong feeling that Del Rio didn't want to return, but it was his best chance at making good money.
* In order to keep Cena's opponent a surprise, Daniel Bryan was asked to go to HIAC to start rumours that it was him. The hot favourites were Samoa Joe and Tyler Breeze, but they were confirmed not to be the challenger when both kept their respective bookings in Sacramento.
* Cena's quick loss was not because he had heat on him, but because McMahon champions that people who are taking time off should have quick title losses. He believes this makes the new champion look better. He did this in 1987 when Ricky Steamboat dropped the title to Honky Tonk Man. Steamboat had requested time off to spend time with his newborn child.
* Xavier Woods did not attend the event because he was getting married. He had booked the time off months in advance.
* Vince McMahon and Kevin Dunn were said to be furious when Brock Lesnar started bleeding in his match because of the strict 'No Blood' policy. Lesnar didn't blade, however, management are convinced that he caused himself to bleed on purpose. He repeated the turnbuckle post spot he did at WrestleMania. Dunn sent a doctor down to the ring to treat the wound, but Lesnar shoved him away. The doctor was afraid that Lesnar would genuinely hurt him if he tried again.
* It is strongly believed that Undertaker bled intentionally as well. He started bleeding due to stiff punches to the head by Lesnar. McMahon is convinced that Undertaker and Lesnar planned the stunt. While both men can be fined, it is not likely that either of them will be.
