Fightful Select has released the list of producers for last night’s episode of WWE SmackDown including several backstage notes, which you can check out below:
* Michael Hayes produced the LA Knight and Paul Heyman segment, as well as the segment with John Cena, Solo Sikoa, and the Usos.
* Jason Jordan produced the Santos Escobar vs. Montez Ford match, as well dark matches featuring The New Day vs. The Judgment Day and Jey Uso vs. Drew McIntyre.
* Shane Helms produced the Rey Mysterio and Logan Paul face-off. WWE had been planning the segment for SmackDown and was not concerned about Paul winning his boxing fight with Dillon Danis last weekend.
* Adam Pearce produced the Dragon Lee & Cameron Grimes vs. Austin Theory & Grayson Waller match.
* Jamie Noble & Molly Holly produced the Charlotte Flair vs. IYO SKY match.
* Nick Aldis produced the dark match featuring Shotzi & Michin vs. Alba Fyre & Isla Dawn. After taking a week off, it seems Aldis will continue to be a producer while appearing in an onscreen role, similar to Adam Pearce.
* Aldis and Pearce’s segment on WWE SmackDown is meant to be a reference to WWE’s plans to do a WarGames match at this year’s Survivor Series pay-per-view event. That was the plan as of a few weeks ago.
* John Cena will appear on SmackDown next week, which is a double taping, ahead of Crown Jewel 2023.
