-Just like last night, tonight's backstage atmosphere at Smackdown is said to be chaotic. The production meetings were delayed for two hours because Vince McMahon has had to call in changes to the show.
-Vince McMahon is once again absent tonight backstage at Smackdown, however, Stephanie McMahon, Triple H, & Brian Gerwitz are backstage helping run things. It is notable that Shane McMahon is not backstage in what again is a hint at what the future of the company could be with Stephanie & Triple H taking the reigns. It has been widely reported that more and more it looks as though the company will be passed down too either one of them. The running joke backstage is that Triple H is preparing himself for when he will one day be running the company as opposed to Stephanie McMahon.
-Bruce Prichard also returned tonight to his duties backstage at Smackdown. His return has caused a bit of a morale drop because many of the Smackdown wrestler's felt the product was so much better while he was away dealing with his personal issues.
-David Lagana, who is the head writer for Smackdown is also not backstage as he is on vacation this week which is only adding the chaos.
