? During the replay of last week's ECW on Universal HD, comments by Matt Striker and Josh Mathews were edited out from the John Morrison vs. Evan Bourne match. Striker used the term "match of the year candidate" and Mathews used the term "five star match" to describe the match, both of which were removed from the show. It remains to be seen if those are new terms that have been banned or if they aren't allowed to be used in matches with people who are not main eventers.

? The promoters of WWE's upcoming May tour of Mexico (Raw brand) were said to be upset that WWE Intercontinental Champion Rey Mysterio was drafted back to Smackdown because they had promoted the tour around him.

The company is in Monterrey on 5/27 and 5/28, Queretaroon 5/29 and Mexico City on 5/30.
