As usual, there were some changes made to the post-WrestleMania 38 episodes of RAW and SmackDown.

According to a report from Fightful, the following producers put together these matches and segments from this past week’s episodes of RAW and SmackDown:

WWE Monday Night RAW:

* Shawn Daivari produced the Women’s Tag Team Championship match.

* Shane “Hurricane” Helms produced the Dominik Mysterio vs. The Miz match.

* Matt “A-Train” Bloom and Shawn Michaels produced the Dolph Ziggler vs. Bron Breakker match.

* Adam Pearce produced the segment featuring Bobby Lashley, MVP & Omos.

* Kenn “Kenny Dykstra” Doane produced the segment that featured Carmella and Queen Zelina splitting up.

* Jamie Noble produced the RK-Bro & Finn Balor vs. The Usos match.

* Petey Williams and Michael Hayes produced the promo segment that featured Edge & Damian Priest.

* Joseph “Abyss” Park produced The Street Profits vs. Alpha Academy match.

* There were no producers listed for the Roman Reigns, Kevin Owens/Ezekiel (Elias), Bianca Belair and Cody Rhodes segments. Additionally, there were multiple changes made throughout the course of the day. Roman Reigns and Cody Rhodes wound up switching spots, as the Cody Rhodes promo segment was originally set to main event the show. Instead, it wound up opening the show and the Reigns promo closed out RAW.

WWE Friday Night SmackDown:

* Shawn Daivari produced the promo segment featuring Ronda Rousey and Charlotte Flair.

* Petey Williams produced the Xavier Woods vs. Butch (Pete Dunne) match.

* Kenny Dykstra produced Gunther’s (WALTER) WWE main roster debut. Just prior to the show going live, Marcel Barthel was listed internally as “Ludwig Klaus”. Instead, the company wound up going with Ludwig Kaiser.

* Adam Pearce produced the Happy Talk segment that featured Happy Corbin and Madcap Moss splitting up.

* Abyss & Ariya Daivari produced the Drew McIntyre vs. Sami Zayn match. Daivari is currently working on a tryout basis.

* TJ Wilson & Curtis Axel produced the Sasha Banks vs. Liv Morgan match. Axel is also working on a tryout basis.

* Jason Jordan produced the Roman Reigns promo segment.

* The Viking Raiders vs. Los Lotharios dark match was produced by Shane Helms.

* The Xia Li vs. Aliyah dark match was produced by Molly Holly.

* For what it’s worth, the Raquel Rodriguez segment wasn’t listed on the SmackDown rundown sheet.

* WWE did not try to keep Lacey Evans’ return a secret.

* Following Friday night’s episode of WWE SmackDown, Ronda Rousey defeated Charlotte Flair by count-out. Flair attacked Rousey after the match, but Rousey was able to counter with the Piper’s Pit and then made Flair tap out to the armbar. That dark match was produced by Jason Jordan.
