Jeff Jarrett launched a brutal backstage attack on Shelton Benjamin
The cameras cut backstage where chaos had already erupted. Jeff Jarrett blindsided Shelton Benjamin in the locker room area, throwing him into a stack of production crates before raining down punches. Jeff Jarrett screamed insults, making it clear this was personal, not just business. Security rushed in to intervene, but Jeff Jarrett managed to shove one of them aside to land a few more stiff shots.Commentators speculated on what this means going forward. The production team deliberately kept the camera shaky and frantic to sell the chaos, and several lower-card wrestlers were seen trying to pull him off. Officials finally managed to separate them, with Shelton Benjamin left slumped against the wall, clutching his ribs in pain. Medical personnel were shown arriving as Jeff Jarrett was dragged away, still yelling threats.The intention here from the booker seems clear — this was either an attempt to write Shelton Benjamin off TV for a period, or to add a serious edge to the feud. A follow-up promo or a worked medical update later in the show would usually be expected in this kind of angle to escalate it further.- DM

Ortiz and Santana Talked Themselves Up and Issued a Warning to the Entire Tag Division
In a short but sharp backstage promo, Ortiz and Santana reminded everyone exactly who they are—and why the rest of the tag division should be worried.The duo spoke with swagger and intensity, running down their credentials, highlighting recent wins, and throwing subtle (and not-so-subtle) barbs at anyone who’s ever called themselves contenders.There was no specific target—this was a blanket warning. A “step up or get stepped on” kind of promo. Commentary picked it up immediately and framed it as the team reasserting their presence in a crowded field.You don’t always need a match to start a fight. Sometimes, you just need a camera and the confidence to call everyone out. – DM

PJ Black called out René Duprée, but he didn’t show up.
The segment began with PJ Black heading to the ring with clear intent, microphone in hand. He cut a scathing promo aimed directly at René Duprée, calling him a coward, questioning his toughness, and demanding René Duprée come out and face him like a real competitor.The camera lingered on the entranceway, the commentary team speculating whether René Duprée would accept the challenge. Seconds ticked by — no music, no appearance, no response. PJ Black paced the ring, growing increasingly agitated, escalating the insults and daring René Duprée to show any sign of life.Despite his continued taunts, René Duprée never appeared. Whether this was a strategic decision, mind games, or sheer avoidance was left open for interpretation — but the intended message was clear: René Duprée was refusing to do business on his terms.The segment closed with PJ Black throwing down the mic in frustration, declaring that this wasn’t over. This is the type of angle the booker uses to buy time, add tension, and set the table for the eventual confrontation — making the audience want that clash even more when it finally happens. • DM

Commentary framed it as “inevitable” that this would boil over into a match—and probably sooner rather than later.Nothing fancy.
