Following the conclusion of this week’s episode of Monday Night RAW, WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins took the initiative to call Damian Priest back to the ring, where he warmly shook Priest’s hand as a display of respect towards his challenger. This gesture marked a significant moment, suggesting another positive stride in Priest’s ascent within WWE.
In some more backstage notes from RAW, despite the backstage segments being presented as “live” with talents walking out to the ring, Pwinsider is reporting that many of these segments were actually pre-recorded approximately 20-40 minutes before they aired. Some segments had to be taped later than usual due to the reworking of the show’s schedule.
In terms of crowd reactions, Cody Rhodes received the most resounding positive response, followed by Seth Rollins.
On the other hand, when it came to eliciting negative reactions from the crowd, Dominik Mysterio and Rhea Ripley proved to be the most successful in garnering heel heat during the event.
In addition, to commemorate the Hartford, CT edition of RAW, WWE offered a special “I Was There” t-shirt for sale, allowing fans to proudly display their attendance at the event. Additionally, signed Cody Rhodes photos were available for $20, while signed Cody belts were priced at $250, offering dedicated fans a unique opportunity to own a piece of memorabilia. Notably, the best-selling merchandise of the night included Cody Rhodes merch, ahead of Roman Reigns and Rhea Ripley.
