– Our correspondent at last night’s SmackDown tapings noted that there was really bad attendance with the upper sections closed off to fans. Last night’s show also featured a weak roster as many WWE Superstars had just landed in Hawaii.
– We noted before that Dean Ambrose was being referred to the WWE Champion on this week’s RAW, a sign that WWE has plans to use two world titles for the upcoming Brand Extension. That change has also been made on WWE’s website with the title now being referred to as just the WWE Championship, not the WWE World Heavyweight Title.
