– WWE did not hide Brock Lesnar backstage at the Barclays Center, as they have in previous appearances. Internal discussions over Lesnar’s comeback began on Saturday morning.

As PWMania.com previously reported, Lesnar destroyed Bobby Lashley on RAW, allowing Seth Rollins to win the WWE United States Championship from Lashley. Although Lesnar has been challenged to appear at next week’s RAW from Oklahoma City to face Lashley, WWE has not yet officially confirmed Lesnar for the broadcast as of the time of this writing.

– The 25th anniversary of WWE Hall of Famers DX was celebrated at the conclusion of Monday night’s RAW season premiere. Sean “X-Pac” Waltman, Chief Content Officer Triple H, Senior Vice President of Live Events “Road Dogg” Brian James, and Senior Vice President of Talent Development Creative Shawn Michaels were confirmed to appear as DX members in advance.

Billy Gunn, an AEW talent, was not scheduled to perform on RAW for obvious reasons, but according to Fightful Select, WWE at least considered trying to get Gunn to participate.
