Fightful Select has revealed the production assignments for WWE SmackDown’s latest episode. Nick Aldis handled multiple matches, including producing the WWE Speed bouts featuring Chris Sabin vs. Dominik Mysterio and Zoey Stark vs. Candice LeRae, as well as overseeing the #DIY vs. Pretty Deadly match alongside Shawn Daivari.
Michael Hayes directed The Rock and Cody Rhodes segment with writer Cristian Scovell, while also producing the tag team match between Braun Strowman and Damian Priest against Solo Sikoa and Jacob Fatu, with Jamie Noble contributing to the match production.
TJ Wilson produced the Tiffany Stratton vs. Candice LeRae match, with Devyn Prieto handling Stratton’s promo. The original plans included Trish Stratus accompanying Stratton to the ring. Kenny Dykstra oversaw the Naomi vs. Liv Morgan match, while Abyss produced Jimmy Uso vs. Drew McIntyre. Shane Helms took charge of the LA Knight and R-Truth vs. The Miz and Carmelo Hayes match.
Additional details emerged regarding recent production decisions. WWE removed a video featuring Nick Aldis announcing several matches but managed to maintain the scheduled programming. The company also edited Finn Balor’s late kickout from all RAW replays, while a vignette originally intended for Alexa Bliss aired later featuring Zelina Vega following talent adjustments.
Jade Cargill continued her development with training sessions at the WWE Performance Center during the week.
