Other notes
- There were no producers listed for the Ezekiel/Kevin Owens or Judgment Day promo segments
- There were three matches scheduled to be taped for main event, up from the usual two. There were some conflicting information internally between rundowns. Reggie vs. T-Bar (produced by Kenny Dykstra), R-Truth vs. Otis (produced by Shane Helms) and Akira Tozawa vs. Apollo Crews (produced by Ariya Daivari) were the Main Event matches listed internally. On some run sheets, Ariya Daivari was supposed to produce the nixed match of Truth and Otis, which we're told isn't accurate.
- Joe Hennig was not listed on the sheet this week.
- Raw was listed as 45% utilization and 50% with comps for the show, based on the arena's max capacity in Hartford.
- "Hell in a Selfie" was the working title of the show for Raw,
- The Smackdown Dark match was Viking Raiders vs. Los Lotharios (produced by Shawn Daivari) on the pre-show, and Bobby Lashley vs. Omos (produced by Jason Jordan) was supposed to be the dark match, but Happy Corbin worked Omos instead.
