The Street Fight stipulation for Finn Balor vs. Dominik Mysterio was added within the last week because of the number of singles matches.

The Littlehausens were local indie wrestlers that prefer to be called midgets. They are an incredible draw in the Vegas area.

Most we spoke to within WWE expected Brock Lesnar to retire at Summerslam.

Cody Rhodes was pulled from his WWE World appearance due to injuries after his match. He was very busted up.

There was heavy consideration given to Randy Orton winning the World Title at WrestleMania, but it was claimed internally that the booking decision was set in the last few weeks for Cody to win.

Rehearsals for the show started Wednesday.

A cameraman took a fall during the womens tag match. We are told he's okay.

THE WRESTLlNG MEDIA SHOWDOWN from last night's GCW Clusterf*ck show featured Sean Ross Sapp and Bryan Alvarez. We are conveniently omitting who got the best of who, but Sean's wrestling appearances are for charity fundraising, and we encourage you to donate here if you can: https://www.parkinson.org/

We asked about the shorter match times and were told by some staff in WWE that they expect more in ring time tonight, but when they followed up, they said it was far from a guarantee.
