- The Rock has earned $33 million for his last three movies despite the Rundown not being considered a box office success.
- The Dudley Boyz got heat from several wrestlers their first night on Smackdown! mainly because of their reputation for working stiff. Many thought that D-Von took liberties with the Bashams but these same people agree that their tendencies should end when they feud with Rikishi & Scotty because of Rikishi.
- Mordechai, a new character WWE is introducing on SmackDown!, will be Kevin "Seven" Fertig from Ohio Valley Wrestling, who recently got a makeover.
- WWE is placing a full page ad in Variety magazine this week talking about grossing over $40 million for WrestleMania XX and claiming it was the highest grossing PPV event in their history.
