Reddit user MetsFan4Ever, who is a proven WWE insider, posted the following backstage WWE Raw news from The BOK Center in Tulsa, OK, the site of tonight’s show:
-There was said to be a very tense mood in the arena today stemming from the CM Punk appearance on Colt Cabana’s podcast. Employees were doing their best to avoid Stephanie McMahon and Triple H today, as they were said to be furious when they received word of Punk’s comments on the podcast. A closed-door meeting took place today between Stephanie, Triple H and Vince McMahon, and it could have pertained to Steve Austin potentially asking Vince about CM Punk on the Network interview tonight.
-Former NXT Tag Team Champions The Ascension are very close to making their WWE main roster TV debuts. The WWE production team has been working on a debut vignette for the tag team, and word is the vignette could air on TV following next week’s NXT Takeover special.
