WWE Smackdown Backstage News, Producers, More (Patreon)

- Nick Aldis continued his producing duties on Smackdown, and will work in that role while appearing as an on screen GM.

- Adam Pearce and Nick Aldis' promo was intended to be a reference to WWE's plans to run War Games, which was the plan as of a few weeks ago. We're working to find out if that's still the active plan.

- As mentioned last night, John Cena is slated for the next two Smackdowns, as there's a double taping next week ahead of the Saudi trip. We'll work to learn more about his future. 

- WWE had previously planned on the Logan Paul- Dillon Danis face off for this show, and had no concerns whatsoever that Logan would emerge victorious over Dillon to set up this match.
