Rhodes passed away at the local hospital near his home in Orlando, Florida, after not feeling right all day and eventually falling. Rhodes was rushed to the hospital where he later passed away at the age of 69. Rhodes had a very memorable career in the NWA and had great feuds with Ric Flair and The Four Horsemen. Rhodes was a 3-Time NWA World Heavyweight Champion.

Bully brought up how the Wyatt's are using the Dudley Boys' 3D finisher now and calling it The Way. Bully said all WWE had to do was have the balls to call the real team that can perform the 3D. The Wyatt's responded by offering to show Bubba and Devon The Way.

- WWE have said that when Rusev returns from his ankle injury, the mad Russian may be wearing boots now when he wrestles. WWE thinks that with Rusev, who wrestled barefoot, broke his foot, wrestling barefoot may have played a huge role in the break.
