Edge returned to RAW this week to get some revenge on Randy Orton. When he came out to the ring, however, he found MVP. Booker T chimed in saying that he felt "what MVP did in the ring was small but what he did in the scheme of things was huge" as he acted as a plot device for Edge and the Viper. Booker also felt that "guys in the back could learn a lot from that" regarding subtleties of character/angle work.

Ember Moon added what a lot of people thought regarding the pre-announced return of the Rated-R Superstar. She said that she almost wished that "they didn't announce him coming." Booker T added that had things been different, he could see "Edge limping into 'Mania at the 13th-hour wondering if he could compete" and if "no one thought he was going to show up and then that music hit . . ." it would have had a greater impact.

Ryan Satin briefly joined the show to report that the WWE was close to finalizing a deal with former NFL star Rob Gronkowski. He added that he could appear as soon as SmackDown on March 20th in New Orleans.

Theme songs can make or break a star and his/her career. Several stars were asked their favorite theme songs in WWE history. Ali picked the Usos while both Braun Strowman and Elias picked the entrance theme of King Corbin. Strowman claimed that "for such a jerk of a guy, that song hits hard" while the Drifter claimed that it was "fantastic entrance music."

The IIconics appeared to pick Randy Orton's song while Moon picked Shinsuke Nakamura. Samoa Joe and Rey Mysterio love Finn Balor's entrance while Carmella, Mandy Rose, and Sonya Deville picked the no-brainer entrance music of The Undertaker. Drew McIntyre and Booker T felt that the simple answer was Stone Cold because "when that glass smashes, every single person is on their feet."
