Backstage Argument At This Week's WWE Raw
WWE didn't quite get its own Brawl Out at Raw this week, BUT...
The Judgment Day battled Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, and Seth Rollins in this week's WWE Raw main event - and the bout's participants are understood to have argued about the contest afterwards.
PWInsider's Mike Johnson broke the story. As confirmed through multiple sources, some wrestlers weren't happy with how the match went. Various spots weren't executed as planned, with others described as "clunky," thanks, according to a couple of sources, to parts of the bout being changed "at the last literal second."
One source pointed the blame at a specific wrestler, though they chose not to name them out of fear of the internet "going insane."
The argument broke out after the wrestlers had returned to the Gorilla Position. The participants were frustrated, though there was no danger of the situation escalating physically before it finally fizzled out - despite those involved not being happy.
In a separate report, PWInsider quoted a source who wrote the situation off as a simple "difference of opinion" made worse by the last-minute main event changes. The re-working took place "almost to the second ring entrances were happening," leading to things not working out between the ropes. That same source has played down the situation's significance.
Elsewhere, Fightful Select notes that Kevin Owens left the building almost immediately after the match (due to prior obligations). Seth Rollins is understood to have taken a hard shot in the main event, though the outlet hadn't heard of anything else out of the ordinary.
Like PWInsider's, Fightful's sources called the situation a difference of opinion.
