— During the opening segment of Monday’s WWE RAW broadcast, Triple H and Stephanie McMahon “fired” General Manager Brad Maddox. The reasoning behind their “firing” was because Maddox allowed Roman Reigns and Dean Ambrose to be guest commentators last week on RAW. Due to that, the two Shield members had an “official reason” to be at ringside during the Seth Rollins vs. Batista main event last week in London. They disagreed with that and fired Maddox as a result.
Maddox claimed he was beaten up and was “forced” to allow them to come to ringside.
— The following matches were taped prior to RAW on Monday night from the Thompson-Boling Arena Knoxville, TN:
* Big E vs. Titus O’Neil
* Ryback and Curtis Axel vs. R-Truth and Xavier Woods
