Ringside News has learned that there were “lots of missed camera shots and bad camera angles,” and “Vince and Kevin Dunn were unhappy” with some of the early portion of the show.

We also exclusively reported that Becky Lynch was backstage during SmackDown this week. She was happy to be back with the people she worked with for years. That had nothing to do with the production issues.
