- There's been a lot of positive backstage reaction to the direction of Smackdown Live from a story standpoint of late. 

- Becky Lynch wasn't at this week's live events, but we're told she's not actually injured as many online have speculated. 

- For those asking, EC3 did still travel with WWE last week despite not being used all weekend.
