“Last night still feels like a dream..Toronto.. after 9 months away.. you have no idea how much THAT reaction meant to me! You ran the full gamut of emotions until I walked out! Seriously.. THANK YOU ALL for the excitement around my return. Wrestling is so cool. [Heart]”

WWE posted the following video, previewing this Friday’s edition of SmackDown:
Former WWE referee Jimmy Korderas posted a new “Reffin Rant” vlog where he critiqued last night’s episode of RAW and the opening of the show. He said,
“It’s always said how you start a show is just as important as how you end it. Last night, I thought on Raw they could’ve started it a little differently. … Look, I get it, starting off hot. The brawl at gorilla between Seth Rollins and Riddle, you know, fighting into the crowd, blah, blah, blah. And then from there, after they break that up, you get the introduction of Trish Stratus, the hometown girl, the Hall of Famer, coming out to address the crowd, and it didn’t get the pop that it should have got. Maybe they should have thought of doing it a little differently. Maybe they should have opened the show with the Trish Stratus music, with that laugh, and then maybe it would have got that crowd to pop huge for her because it is the hometown girl, and she is a Hall of Famer, and she is that over. I think starting off with the brawl kind killed the crowd for the Trish Stratus return. I think they could have reversed that a little.”
In today's #ReffinRant did the returning HOFer get the reception expected for her return to TV? 🤔#StaySafe pic.twitter.com/Z8dYnSiXnr
