- Chris Jericho's WWE return was not penciled in anywhere on the booking sheets that were handed out before Monday's RAW from Memphis. However, when Jericho did show up before coming out for TV, they made no attempt to hide him backstage.
- The script for this Monday's RAW Supershow from Memphis was not finalized until around 7pm local time.
The angle with Kane coming from under the ring was written about a week ago but officials didn't know how they would get to it until the day of the show. The six-man elimination match was put together at the last minute.
Officials wanted John Cena in the closing segment so there would be an "Indiana Jones-like" cliffhanger to end the show. The feeling was that the CM Punk segment wouldn't be exciting enough and Chris Jericho's return wouldn't be a good way to end the show.
