William Regal has arrived in Philadelphia and is backstage at Raw. It was believed that Regal would miss tonight's show, due to being ill, and also because he wasn't on the flight last night with other performers from the Georgia area.

Hulk Hogan reportedly flew himself into Charlotte and worked the Highspots show, featuring the debut of Reid Flair for free. Many think that Hogan worked the show as a way to talk business with Flair for a possible Hogan Farewell Tour or new company that he and Bishoff have been discussing. The event saw 1,000 fans attend, with people turned away at the door.

The production team that is working on the Ric Flair reality show wasn't going to come to Charlotte for the event, but made the call Wednesday to attend the show. Reid Flair's debut match was said to be "ok" for someone having his first match.

Ric Flair's after party lasted until 5am after the show. Highspots.com filmed footage backstage, and of the after party. Right now there is no plan for a commercial release of the footage.

The Poughkeepsie Journal has an interview with former WWE performer Big Daddy V, now going by King V on the independent scene. In the interview, V discusses his release being a blessing, his role in a 300 parody called 301: The Legend of Awesomus Maximus, and his dream of becoming an actor.
