This is something of a follow-up to the last point, though for marginally different reasons. You'd expect talent to be intimately familiar with their upcoming schedule, but apparently - either for the sake of keeping things under wraps or because of a day-to-day production schedule designed around the business' inherent mutability - they're not.

In some cases, they don't even learn about their opponent until the day of the show. And apparently, accidentally.

Least that was the case with Paige's big singles comeback opposite Sasha Banks on the 4 December 2017 edition of Raw. The anti-Diva revealed that she was scrolling through social media when she noted a breaking news story advertising her match that very night. Understandably, she was a bit shocked: "I was like, 'what?! What is going on?'"

This was Paige's first time in the ring for over 18 months. Someone should have let her know.

Benjamin was born in 1987, and is still not dead. He variously enjoys classical music, old-school adventure games (they're not dead), and walks on the beach (albeit short - asthma, you know). He's currently trying to compile a comprehensive history of video game music, yet denies accusations that he purposefully targets niche audiences. He's often wrong about these things.
