- Dean Malenko and Adam Pearce were the WWE producers used in the backstage contract signing between Shinsuke Nakamura and WWE Champion AJ Styles on tonight's SmackDown, which was hosted by General Manager Paige.

No word yet on why this contract signing was held backstage instead of in the ring like they usually do.
