WWE Raw On Netflix backstage news! (Patreon)

• There were huge boos for the Saudi Arabia video package for the Royal Rumble.

• There were no Main Event or Speed tapings. We were told the unveiling of the ring was a big part of WWE's plans for Raw on Netflix, and getting matches before 5 PM local time wasn't optimal.

• There was production for Raw "only seen by the likes of WrestleMania" per those we spoke to.

• Triple H's open, Logan Paul video wasn't listed on internal rundowns.

• The Rock was hanging out backstage after his segments.

• This week was Rhea Ripley's second one on one match on Raw in the last year, and third match on Raw in that period.

• We're told the backstage area was a stressful one considering the importance of the show.

• Michael Hayes and Bobby Roode produced The Rock's segment. There aren't usually producers for segments without physicality.

• WWE did not use the blanket sound they usually use on the Raw broadcast.

• Will Friedle, Kieran Culkin, Maryse, Kay Adams, Eric Andre were among other names at the show that weren't noted on the broadcast.

• As noted, Becky Lynch was not at the show. Talent we spoke to thought Becky and Penta would be there, but that wasn't the case.

• WWE could have gone much longer on the broadcast if they wanted to, as they do have a flexible "out."
