X-Pac opens today’s show by speaking about the arrival of ‘Woken’ Matt Hardy in WWE. He says he was quite excited to see Hardy finally debut this character in WWE, and he’s a huge fan of it. He informs that he spoke with Hardy recently, and they laughed over him admitting to being concerned about Hardy when he saw the initial tweets and videos from TNA. X-Pac thought Hardy had legitimate lost his mind.

X-Pac says he’s intrigued to see what Don Callis (formerly WWE’s Cyrus) can bring to the table as co-Executive Direction of Impact Wrestling moving forward. He adds that he knows the value of Scott D’Amore as he’s been a big fan of D’Amore for a long time, but he’s curious to see what Callis can accomplish in this role.

Commenting on the news that The Rock is receiving a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame later this month, X-Pac says that it’s “bullshit” that The Rock and Vince McMahon are the only two wrestling-related personalities who have received stars on the Walk of Fame. Other stars such as Hulk Hogan, Andre the Giant and Steve Austin do not have stars on the Walk of Fame.

Ross informs that AXS TV is going to have a 3-hour WrestleKingdom 12 Special on Saturday, Jan. 6th. Ross mentions that the highly anticipated match between Chris Jericho and Kenny Omega will be one of the matches that will be presented during the 3-hour special. Ross says he’s really looking forward to calling these matches with Josh Barnett.

He was quite excited to see ‘Woken’ Matt Hardy make his debut on WWE programming this week. He says that this is a very original, compelling character and Hardy should be very proud of what he’s accomplished in creating this character and successfully brining it to Monday Night RAW. Ross says he’s very proud of what Hardy has accomplished in the business, and he compares Hardy to Chris Jericho in the sense that he continues to successfully redefine his character.

Ross says he has heard rumours that Alberto El Patron is planning to retire in the next couple of years. He points out that El Patron has had a very long, successful career and he’s made a lot of money so he should be able to retire comfortably. However, he adds that wrestlers say they’re planning to retire all the time only to continue working for another decade, so he’ll wait for the official news before believing that El Patron is actually hanging up his boots.

Reby Sky took to her Twitter account to continue to throw shade at Global Force Wrestling. She posted the following remarks after the company released their statement about their upcoming GFW Network and extended partnership with Pop TV:

Press release trying to pass "initiatives" off as things that are actually happening is pretty smart. Bet they have a few morons fooled. https://t.co/f0d1EM3Y1E

As previously noted, WWE announced that RAW will broadcast live on both Christmas and New Years Day. This will be the first time ever that they do this. Historically, the company would tape the show prior to the holidays.

Jeff Hardy’s wife, Beth Hardy, indicated on Twitter that the decision to broadcast live on Christmas Day was the decision of the USA Network.

Christmas Day. Really??? Some are sensitive to my "public complaining" so let me NOT publicly complain about our Christmas Day without Jeff

— Beth Hardy (@BethBrittHardy_) September 4, 2017

About my last tweet…apparently it's the network's decision…not WWE's…but still…

Russo is joined on today’s show by his co-host Jeff Lane.

Russo says he thought WWE was taking major strides forward over the last few weeks, including SummerSlam which he thought was a good show. Unfortunately this week’s programming took a giant leap backwards and other than John Cena’s genius, there’s nothing to really talk about this week.

He felt like the first hour of RAW really dragged on, and the Battle Royal felt particularly long. Jeff Hardy won which he thought was a nice surprise, but overall there’s nothing new to really talk about here.

Paul Heyman came out to the ring with Brock Lesnar and cut another promo that we’ve all seen before. He says it’s impossible for him to watch Heyman giving a promo now without picturing him as an animated character.

Russo wonders why Braun Strowman wasn’t on this show. He says that hopefully Strowman had prior commitments because there’s no excuse for not having him on this show. The more realistic scenario is that Lesnar was on this show and WWE Creative didn’t know how to book both of them on the same show, and Russo thinks that’s sad.

It appears that Sami Zayn may be jumping ship to RAW in the coming weeks.

The Staples Center website is advertising Sami Zayn, who is an active SmackDown-brand Superstar, for the upcoming WWE No Mercy event on their website as a RAW Superstar. Here is what they wrote:

“WWE NO MERCY will broadcast from STAPLES Center on Sept 24th. This RAW exclusive PPV brings a day of reckoning to the City of Angels. See: Brock Lesnar, Roman Reigns, Seth Rollins, Dean Ambrose, Bray Wyatt, Bayley, Braun Strowman, Sasha Banks. Finn Balor, The Miz, Alexa Bliss, Sami Zayn, The Hardy Boys, Cesaro and Sheamus, and many more RAW Superstars.”

It was rumored last via Bryan Alvarez on Wrestling Observer Live that the word going around is that there will be another “Superstar Shakeup” on the September 11th episode of RAW. This could be an indication that Sami will be moved back to the RAW-brand.

WWE’s new plan for The New Day is not only to make them the longest reigning tag team champions in WWE history but to also establish them as the greatest tag team of all-time by holding the titles more times than any team in history.

Currently the record is held by The Hardy Boyz and Edge & Christian. Each team has seven title reigns. the New Day sits at three title reigns.

One of the original planned matches for the SummerSalm Kickoff Pre-show included The Hardy Boyz squaring off against The Revival, however those plans will likely change with the recent injury to Scott Dawson.

It’s now being said that The Hardys will probably take on Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson instead. With the pre-show being 2 hours long, it is very possible that another match will be added to the Kickoff. There is talk that the SmackDown Tag Team Championship match between The Usos vs. The New Day could be moved to the pre-show.

We will keep you updated.
