Backstage Notes:

- No coach/producer was listed for the Ricky Starks/Juice Robinson promo

- There were fans handing wrestlers money throughout the show. Actual 100 dollar bills. We do not know why.

- It goes without saying, but last night's main event was a major pivot from what was originally planned. The match wasn't even listed internally as No DQ, Falls Count Anywhere.

- We can confirm that several of the TNT Title changes of late -- Darby Allin, Wardlow and Will Hobbs -- were at least tentatively planned months ahead. Darby Allin had actually filmed VTRs with the title before he won it.

- We've heard more positive things regarding the AEW/WBD relationship in light of the Shazam partnership integration.

- The renaming of the AEW All-Atlantic Title to the International Title was planned months ahead.

- For those asking, Wardlow having his stuff stolen was legit.

- After tweeting last week that Orange Cassidy vs. Jay Lethal was likely booked again because of the strong numbers it delivered previously, that was confirmed to Fightful. Jay Lethal was also the last talent with a clean pin over Orange Cassidy.
