Saturday Night's Main Event
Those that we spoke to expect Cody Rhodes back “sooner than later." We weren't told if that meant tonight.
When we asked about Candice LeRae’s status after a fan inquiry last week, we were told “something is coming for her,” so the DIY inclusion has been planned at least since then.
We were told that the announcement for Atlanta Saturday Night Main Event and start to Goldberg’s appearance there should kick off in short order.

R-Truth's promo on WWE Smackdown got a great reaction from those Fightful Select spoke with backstage.

Despite the match only being announced Friday, the Chelsea Green/Zelina match has been planned for quite a while, we're told.

Creeds vs. LWO was a dark match.

Most women's talent we spoke to had not been told about Evolution 2 officially before the announcement.
