– WWE’s decision to hold a tournament to determine the #1 contender to Big E’s Intercontinental Championship was made the day of the show. The original plan was for Christian to be named the #1 contender, but he has not been medically cleared to wrestle.
– WWE held a press conference at the Smith and Wollensky steakhouse in New York City on Tuesday to promote Thursday’s premiere of Legends House on the WWE Network. They also screened the first episode. Newsday.com interviewed Rowdy Roddy Piper at the event, who said:
“First thing, I’m uncomfortable. There are some things I forgot – uncomfortable. I think it’s very authentic. Like nobody there is trying to pretend ‘I’m this,’ or ‘I gotta live up to this.’ Everybody in there has been around long enough, they’re just kind of being themselves, like we are here. Nobody’s putting up any airs.”
According to sources close to the show’s production, Legends House was barely scripted (in comparison to other reality tV shows) and the talent was not instructed how to act in each scene.
