PWInsider reports that Enzo Amore was originally scheduled to appear on Monday’s RAW before the rape allegations against surfaced online.

WWE reportedly had plans for Enzo to face off against Goldust in the third hour of the show from the Barclays Center. The match would have seen The Dudley Boyz coming out and getting involved after Enzo’s attack on Goldust and Cedric Alexander. It would have concluded with Enzo being put through a table.

Once WWE made the decision to suspend Enzo and remove him from the show, they re-wrote the segment to feature Titus O’Neil & Apollo Crews vs. Heath Slater & Rhyno with the Dudleys putting Slater through a table. Goldust and Alexander were removed from the RAW plans as a result of the changes.

According to PWInsider, WWE has been contacting former Superstars and personalities to film video messages for the upcoming RAW 25th Anniversary show. The company expects to either use these during the live broadcast or use them for promotional material for the event.

As previously noted, WWE is considering this show a “all-hands-on-deck” show, and they are bringing in many names for the show. The Undertaker is one of the big names being advertised for the January 22nd event, which will be simulcasted from The Manhattan Center and The Barclays Center in New York City.

Playing off from the events that transpired at Sunday’s SummerSlam event, WWE is planning a handicap match on tonight’s episode of SmackDown Live.

According to PWInsider, Nakamura will face The Singh Brothers in a one-on-two match after the brothers decided to get involved in the Championship match Sunday night. As a result of their distraction, Nakamura lost the match, allowing Mahal to retain the WWE Title.

Smackdown takes place from Barclays Center in Brooklyn, the site of SummerSlam. Remember to check back here at 8PM for our live play-by-play coverage of the event.

A beast incarnate, a Samoan machine, a big dog and a monster among men – a.k.a the Summerslam main event. Excitement for this match is understandably through the roof. At any rate these men will hopefully – and likely will – tear the roof off of the Barclays Centre.

The most intriguing part of this match-up is Brock Lesnar possibly leaving WWE. In the event that Lesnar loses his championship this Sunday, Heyman is promising the pair will leave WWE. With the rumours of Lesnar returning to UFC to face Jon Jones this is a massive stipulation. However the expectation is for Lesnar to retain his title this Sunday and remain with WWE until at least Wrestlemania. Furthering the intrigue though is the revelation that WWE is keeping the finish of the match completely under wraps. That itself leaves many possibilities in place. It also adds an aspect of doubt to whether or not Lesnar will actually retain his belt. For me that only makes this match that little bit more exciting.

With that this article looks at a few bold potential finishes to that very match. As a disclaimer these are not predictions just some bold possibilities. For my Summerslam 2017 match predictions check out my article below!
