– WWE is playing up an angle questioning whether Edge is still World Champion after Green Bay Packers LB Clay Matthews replaced Vickie Guerrero as referee during the match with Dolph Ziggler on SmackDown! Friday night and counted a pinfall for Edge. WWE.com published an interview with Matthews Friday night hinting at "controversy" that will be followed up on next week's SmackDown!. The site said, "Although Matthews wouldn't divulge who gave him the authority to be a WWE Official, the WWE Universe is left to wonder if Edge is still the World Heavyweight Champion and if Matthews's power as a WWE Official ultimately supersedes that of an angry 'acting' SmackDown! General Manager in Vickie Guerrero." Matthews also revealed in the interview that the NFL office "really didn't like" the involvement of the World Title belt during the Packers' victory celebration after winning the Super Bowl. "We didn't care, because we were having fun. It was fitting because we were World champions. That was his celebratory dance to let everyone know he had the title," Matthews said.
– Dolph Ziggler posted the following on his Twitter? "Last night was a success! Kent State won the MAC Conference & I won the World Heavyweight Championship! Best Dolph Ziggler Day EVER! ;)"
