It's no secret that RAW frequently undergoes last-minute script changes but things backstage may have been more chaotic this week than ever before. According to Bryan Alvarez on Wrestling Observer Live, the show's script was not 100% complete until 9 minutes before it went on the air.
This explains why the Triple Threat matches announced in the opening segment appeared to be a surprise to Seth Rollins (who wondered if he would face Brock Lesnar) despite the fact they had already been announced on WWE.com. That sort of continuity error is commonplace when changes are made late in the day and the opening was obviously originally set to play out differently.
It's also said that Cesaro's arrival on RAW and Robert Roode defeating Ricochet were decisions made shortly before the show started as there had previously been a directive within the company to keep the latter looking strong. Now, though, it seems building Roode back up is a bigger priority!
With the show suffering in terms of ratings, WWE may want to think about planning ahead a little more.
