Vince McMahon's involvement in WWE Raw this week was a hot topic.

Piper Niven vs. Candice LeRae was completely pulled from the card, as was a backstage segment that had them both involved with Trish Stratus. Both segments were on rundowns that were handed out by 7 PM EST. The match was replaced by Street Profits vs. Cedric Alexander & Shelton Benjamin

If you thought the Mustafa Ali vs. Chad Gable match was abrupt, there's a reason. It was only scheduled for one segment, but still had minutes cut from it.

There were several matches that had time cut from them, there were winners and losers changed, and there were set ups to get into the finish changed.

Several of the female wrestlers have been vocal about their division's segments constantly being cut. There was a backstage segment featuring women and Adam Pearce that was changed.

All of the other matches on Raw were the originally scheduled matches, but there were still plenty of changes. The card was not posted internally backstage until much later.

Look, they may have fired him on his wedding day, sued him, almost killed him through negligence, but at least they didn't say anything he didn't like in a promo with him in the last 12 months

PWInsider posted:

Braun Strowman will be missing action until he’s medically cleared to return to the ring.

Pwinsider Elite reports that Strowman is out of action with a concussion. This comes after his last match on last Friday’s WWE SmackDown, where he and Ricochet defeated The Viking Raiders.

Although Strowman was scheduled to work WWE live events this past weekend by teaming with Ricochet against The Vikings, he was pulled with it being changed to Ricochet winning singles matches over Ivar instead.

The concussion must have happened in the tag team match and now explains why there were some clunky moments in the match, including a spot where Erik and Ivar double-teamed Strowman, but then he fought both opponents off before tagging in Ricochet.

Strowman tried to launch Ricochet at their opponents, but Ricochet came nowhere close to hitting the Raiders. Strowman rolled out of the ring before working for several more minutes. He did perform a few of his signature moves before the match ended.

FTR bald talked on his podcast about how Punk is a good dude because he bought the AEW women's locker room Starbucks gift cards and all the guys in the Pinnacle Starbucks cards. The Pinnacle ones were 500 each. It's a really goofy story but I guess a nice thing to do. Kind of try hard.
