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.

Taz opens today’s show by speaking about Jason Jordan’s performance on this week’s RAW. He has been very critical of the entire Jordan/Angle storyline, and he’s been harping on WWE for not turning Jordan heel over the last couple of months.

However, while watching RAW this past week Taz thought Jordan’s promo work and facial expressions were great. Jordan’s portraying a whiny daddy’s boy right now, but he can still kick you ass in the ring so that makes for an interesting dynamic. Taz also thinks there’s great chemistry between Jordan and Seth Rollins, so he’s interested in seeing where that pairing heads in the future.

Taz was very impressed by Samoa Joe’s promo work on RAW this week. He points out that the inflection and tone of Joe’s words are things that Joe controls on his own, and he’s very good at it. Taz thinks Joe is one of the top guys in the company right now on the mic.

Taz recalls people within TNA years ago arguing over which of their stars would be able to succeed in WWE. There was always concern with A.J. Styles’ Southern accent, as well as Samoa Joe’s body type. As it turns out, none of that stuff matters and both of those competitors have seen great success in WWE thus far.

Taz says he’s very happy for Braun Strowman, but he really felt bad for Rhyno and Heath Slater this past week on RAW. They’re both good guys and he wants to see them succeed, so he hopes WWE eventually comes up with a good angle for them, where they can work with each other and make something positive come out of this pairing.

While appearing on Ring Rust Radio, Chris Jericho discussed season two of Southpaw Regional Wrestling and indicated that the season didn’t live up the first season.

“I think a lot of times the initial one is always the best because it’s such a surprise and nobody really knew what they were getting into. Where with the second one everybody wanted to get involved and some of the characters weren’t as strong.”

He continued, “I think Miz’s guy was terrible in it, whatever he was called [‘Astonishing’ Adam Düng]… I just thought that was terrible, it wasn’t funny. I thought the Butcher guys [Rhyno and Seth Rollin’s Butcher Boys] weren’t funny, whereas the first one was really funny because no one was really trying. They were just being whatever they wanted to be.”

“It’s like a sequel to a movie where you stumble onto something and it’s never as good as the original.”
