Jason Jordan is also credited with producing the dark match main event that featured Cody Rhodes against Drew McIntyre.
Furthermore, Fightful Select noted that The Rock's concert segment on WWE SmackDown was initially intended to last for only one segment. Despite this, backstage expectations were that it would inevitably extend beyond the planned duration. It was also mentioned that LA Knight's interview segment was not included in the internal rundowns.
Additionally, it's been reported that the match between Legado del Fantasma and LWO was allocated two segments. This portion of the show, including entrances and post-match events, lasted approximately 11 minutes.
