— According to Mike Johnson of PWInsider, Cesaro and Sheamus have been off TV for the last little while as they are both back in their home countries sorting out visa issues.
— According to @WrestleVotes, the Roman Reigns vs. Bobby Lashley match is expected to serve as the main event for Sunday’s Extreme Rules and go on last. Some officials are pushing for Seth Rollins vs. Dolph Ziggler to end the show, but it is considered unlikely. There is almost no support at all to have AJ Styles vs. Rusev as the main event.
— As per a source in the company, WWE officials were internally bracing for Smackdown viewership numbers this week to fall below 2 million. With Raw dropping in viewership and Smackdown often following suit, many were surprised when the final numbers came out and the show actually went up in viewership week-over-week.
