- Bruce Prichard, one of the Smackdown writers, made a big deal backstage this week about having to re-time the show this week, which he usually has to do each week. Prichard was upset that Johnny Ace causes so many things to be changed with the show and that he waited until Tuesday (the day of the taping) to make the changes. The show was sent to WWE's top management on Sunday. Ace has a reputation of changing things a lot, especially if he thinks the changes will go over well with Vince McMahon. Some now feel that Prichard is turning his problem with Ace into a political issue.
- WWE Smackdown finished with a 2.8 rating this week, down from the already low 3.1 last week. The show faced heavy competition from the final episode of Friends which did a 29.9 rating. The clip show that aired before it did a 22 rating.
