— As a reminder, there will be a RAW pre-show this week on the WWE Network,
however there will not be a Backstage Pass post-show after the event. After RAW
ends this week on television, the WWE Network will follow it up with episode one
of WWE Slam City.
— Speaking of the WWE Network, the WWE Countdown episode that airs this week
will look at the top ten moments from Royal Rumble pay-per-views.
— Finally, as noted on Sunday, the Monday Night War episode on the WWE
Network this Tuesday will focus on Bret Hart and the Montreal Screwjob. Below is
the official synopsis for that show.
“A controversial end to Bret Hart’s WWE career forever changes
the fate of Monday Night Raw and Monday
Nitro.”
— The official SyFy Network schedule that at one point had WWE
SmackDown listed as a Thursday night show, has updated to now list the show as
airing on Friday nights.
— As previously reported, WWE Hall Of Famer Ric Flair has been hospitalized
in Georgia for several days due to a series of health issues which resulted in
some minor surgeries.
Flair is currently still hospitalized and despite being advertised for this
week’s SmackDown taping, he is no longer scheduled to appear. He was also
scheduled to appear at Sunday’s Night Of Champions pay-per-view, however that
seems to be off as well.
