Why NXT Star Was Backstage At Raw This Week, The Miz Comments On New SmackDown Deal

This week’s episode of WWE Monday Night Raw was action packed, but there were also some interesting names backstage.

Prior to the show it was reported that Alicia Fox and NXT star Kairi Sane were both backstage, but neither appeared on the show.

Alicia Fox has been out of action since she suffered a broken tailbone in January, but it looks like Kairi Sane was in town to film footage for the new season of the Edge & Christian Show on the WWE Network.

A photo of Sane filming content with WWE Hall of Famer Beth Phoenix has surfaced online.

It appears that Funaki also filmed content for the show recently.

As noted, it was recently reported that WWE has agreed to a deal with Fox which will see SmackDown move to the network and the deal is reportedly worth $1 billion over the course of 5 years.

The Miz was recently drafted to SmackDown in the Superstar Shake-Up, and he commented on the news by taking credit for the show’s high price tag.
