Backstage news on Rollins angle, big praise for Neville, more
On this week’s RAW, Stephanie McMahon told Brock Lesnar that WWE World Heavyweight Champion Seth Rollins was still flying back from New York City during the start of RAW, but later it was known that was said just to build the storyline to put Lesnar vs. Rollins in the 9pm segment. Rollins was present backstage the whole time.
WWE NXT trainer Robbie Brookside and Bad News Barrett tweeted the following praise for Neville after making his RAW arrival last night:
Words cannot express my pride and happiness for @WWENeville and his RAW debut. He is THE best and a canny lad from the Tyne.
