Monday Night Raw broadcast from the O2 Arena in London this week and even though it was an integral episode of the show, there were a few things that WWE will take out of the broadcast of the show.
This week's show included three more stars qualifying for their respective Money in the Bank ladder matches, as well as the company confirming that Nia Jax will defend her Raw Women's Championship against Ronda Rousey in the former UFC Champions first ever WWE singles match, but it also included a few added extras that only the live fans were able to see.
#5. The famous UK crowd
When WWE comes to the United Kingdom they are in a position where they are able to prerecord the show more than five hours before it will be streamed out in their native country.
This means that the company has time to edit the show before it is broadcasted out on TV and one thing that they will definitely edit out this week is the chants that the crowd decided to start.
Baron Corbin battled Bobby Roode and No Way Jose in a triple threat match to qualify for the Money in the Bank ladder match and the crowd decided to chant "Corbin's going bald, he's going bald." to the tune of "Football's coming home."
The crowd also grew restless during the women's Money in the Bank qualification match and started chanting that they wanted a "cheeky Nandos" as well. These are both chants that WWE would prefer to cover up.
#4. Seth Rollins can sing
Seth Rollins has become one of the most popular WWE stars in the company over the past few months, but it appears that there isn't a lot that the former World Champion can't do. Tonight as part of the dark match segment of Monday Night Raw, Rollins took the mic from Elias and belted out his own song to the London crowd.
Rollins obviously overshadowed Elias at that point, which could be why the WWE Universe have never heard Rollins sing before. Perhaps there is a future sing-off in Rollins and Elias' future.
#3. WWE's technical team remained in the states
Whilst WWE's Raw roster made their way over to the United Kingdom for their first tour of the year, it appears that their technical team remained in the States since there were a number of errors in tonight's broadcast.
Not only did the company forget to turn the sound on for the backstage segment between Sasha Banks and Bayley, which left the crowd chanting "We can't hear you" but they also added the wrong graphics to a number of their Raw recaps, with Main Event banners being plastered over the intro of Raw.
These will be fixed before the show is broadcast, but they are errors that one of the biggest wrestling promotions in the world shouldn't be making in front of a live audience.
#2. WWE's overworked crew
One thing that the WWE Universe at home don't get to see when they are watching the show on TV, is how hard the crew work when they are trying to ensure everything is in the right place. A group of around 10 of their employees had the job of having to take the six ladders of the stage three times this week so that they were there for the Money in the Bank qualifying matches.
The crew also have to ensure that they are always in a position to pick up mics and dropped entrance gear of performers so that the person that follows them out to the ring doesn't trip over it.
#1. Kurt Angle botches again
The good thing about a pre-recorded episode of a show that is usually streamed live is the fact that botches can be recorded over. This week Kurt Angle made another huge mistake as part of his backstage segment with Bo Dallas and Curtis Axel as the duo asked for a Tag Team Championship match.
Angle gave in and said that the duo who were now called The B-Team could have the match later in the night. Of course, the duo went on to face Breezango rather than the Tag Team Champions which means that this segment was probably re-recorded before the show made it to air.
