Issues with callups (Patreon)

Had a source reach out to me about a couple of the callups and a wrench being thrown into the plans. Lars Sullivan suffered a panic attack in his car in Orlando last week, and has had virtual radio silence since then. We were also told that Heavy Machinery's match was such a bad showing against the Colons, that it wouldn't be a surprise if they didn't get a call-up at all.
There were no firm plans for any of the call-ups as of last week, and they were a seemingly reactionary move. Members of the Smackdown crew were actually very surprised that Nikki Cross appeared on Raw, because they expected her over there. Another source said that there was no talk of Nikki Cross on Raw as of last week.
