-- John Pollock of Post Wrestling reports that after it became clear that WWE main roster talent wouldn't be making it back to North America in time for WWE Friday Night Smackdown, a flight was chartered at the last minute to bring in NXT talent from Florida. Apart from having to restructure the show due to all the talent missing, the NXT wrestlers didn't land in Buffalo until approximately 755 PM ET, just five minutes before Smackdown went on the air. WWE had to secure a police escort to bring the wrestlers to the arena and the word backstage was that Shayna Baszler barely made it to the arena in time for her appearance in the third segment.
-- As far as who put the show together, Pollock reports that Vince McMahon was present at Smackdown and along with him, Triple H and the regular members of the Smackdown writing team were responsible for what was presented on TV. Dave Meltzer on Twitter re-iterated that even though the show featured NXT heavily, it was still a "Vince show", meaning he would have approved and supported everything that went on air.
