— As previously reported, Kofi Kingston vs. Seth Rollins took place twice at the SmackDown tapings. (Don’t worry, we’re spoiler-free in this one.) While why the match was re-taped isn’t known, the second match went a few minutes longer than the first one and while it was presented as a rematch to the live show, the match was largely the same.
— Kane is reportedly working through an injury. There was speculation that he was injured and thus didn’t do much in-ring work during his house show matches last week, but he was said to be fine after the TV tapings and worked through whatever injury he may have.
