*A report from backstage at Monday's RAW indicates that Mick Foley and Ric Flair were involved in a scuffle at the event.

Shortly before RAW went live, Ric Flair approached Mick Foley and offered a handshake; Foley declined. The latter then, in a remark that did not meet Flair's approval, asked Flair for an autographed copy of his autobiography. Flair responded by throwing a punch at Foley, and according to reports, the punch did land. The fight was broken up before it could escalate any further.

Mick Foley was apparently not too heartbroken by the fight and decided to appear on RAW as planned.
