Backstage News, Producers From WWE Smackdown For October 4

Smackdown notes from October 4, 2024 from Sean Ross Sapp

  • The vignette that aired is in fact for the Motor City Machine Guns. Someone in the know in the company reached out last night to clarify that they've never heard of Shelley and Sabin being discussed for the NXT brand, and they've been planned for Smackdown for quite some time.
  • An updated WWE Raw logo is expected for Netflix's debut
  • As one would expect, Chelsea Green got high praise for her Dumpster match reaction. We're told that WWE took photos and digital skits following the match.
  • All early indications were that talent from the ladder match emerged okay and the company was pleased with the match.
  • The internal name for Smackdown in Nashville was "#Trashville"
  • Chad Barbash was listed as the writer for the AJ Styles promo.
  • Sondra Lacey was listed as the writer for the opening of WWE Smackdown.
  • DIY is officially listed as "#DIY" internally.
  • Angel and Humberto were listed as "Los Garza" internally.
