• As Fightful Select reported Friday, Michael Hayes was back on the job on Friday's Smackdown. He had a heavy assignment list, producing Bloodline segments on the double taping.

• There are additional segments that were filmed that wouldn't air in front of the crowd.

• It was intimated to Fightful that the Jade Cargill angle was to cover for a legitimate injury. We're working to confirm that and we haven't as of yet.

• Kevin Owens' performance in his promo gained a lot of buzz among those we talked to in the company.

• Michael Kirshenbaum and Colin Clark wrote the opening and closing Bloodline segments
