Backstage Details on Some of the Matches & Segments That Were Changed on WWE Raw

— As reported earlier, last night’s WWE Raw was the first episode in about nine months that had Vince McMahon’s fingerprints all over the show. The show underwent multiple edits even as Raw was airing and below are some details on what was changed/added/modified/etc., as per fightfulselect.com

  • The original run sheet had two women’s triple threat matches as part of a tournament to declare a new #1 contender for the Raw women’s championship. The first match would have seen Liv Morgan vs. Dakota Kai vs. Piper Niven and the second was planned to be Candice LeRae vs. Raquel Rodriguez vs. IYO SKY. Both matches were scrapped and in their place, the women’s tag team match Dakota Kai and IYO SKY vs. Liv Morgan and Raquel was featured instead.
  • Bayley was scheduled for Monday Night Raw in a non-wrestling role accompanying Damage CTRL, however, she was cut last minute for unknown reasons.
  • Omos vs. Elias was never planned for the show until very late when it was abruptly added.
  • The main event match with Cody Rhodes and a mystery partner to take on Roman Reigns and Solo Sikoa was to include a segment where Rhodes would be on the phone making a call, presumably to the mystery partner who ultimately ended up being Brock Lesnar.
