Smackdown News, Notes, Producers: WWE Speed, More (Patreon)

• Though Natalya has signed with WWE, she's not been at any shows since her new deal started.

• Gallows & Anderson were listed as "The OC" internally.

• WWE is expecting to do big business at this weekend's Mexico shows.

• Angel & Berto are not on this weekend's shows in their hometown. The reasoning was that the cards were already packed because they're "super-shows." Obviously the duo wanted to be on them

• Angel & Berto were listed internally as their names, instead of Legado. These seem to be far looser than the very strict listings that used to exist.

• Even with the New Bloodline, Michael Hayes has been producing those segments.

• TNA graphics continuing to be used on WWE programming lead to comments of how Vince McMahon would have “never” allowed them, per Corey Brennan.
