1) David Otunga Returned To WWE
In case you have missed it, David Otunga has been making some mainstream headlines for his recent divorce and custody battle with Jennifer Hudson. Things have been getting ugly and Otunga was pulled from his pre-show duties at Survivor Series last month. It has been a battle of he said, she said in the media between them.
Otunga returned to WWE on the Clash of Champions kickoff show.
@DavidOtunga is back. Man got his name cleared. Good deal. #WWEClash

While accusations are just that, it’s shocking to see @DavidOtunga on the #ClashofChampions Kick-Off! He said, she said makes everyone look bad, but the impression was that he only has the job because of her mainstream status!

2) WWE Has Changed Back The WWE Title Belt
Someone must have made a mistake last week on Smackdown Live. AJ was using a title belt that had a black line under the WWE logo. At Clash of Champions, AJ went back to the original belt with the red line under the logo.
RT @JobberRobb: So on Tuesday’s #SDLive @AJStylesOrg title had a black “Swoosh” under the #WWE logo, I wonder what that’s all about? Do you think they’re going to give it a blue strap? Even if they did they wouldn’t need to change the color of the “swoos… pic.twitter.com/LXsZbBoBZ0

3) The Mojo-Ryder Feud Deserved A Better TV Build
The first match of the night came on the kickoff show. Zack Ryder took on Mojo Rawley in a battle of former tag team partners. Mojo turned on Zack a few weeks ago, setting this match up.
I think that most fans would agree that the Ryder and Mojo feud deserved a better build. They didn’t get any television time last week on Smackdown Live and it has been a bit of a throwaway. Mojo and Ryder were cutting some great social media promos to build the match but I feel like WWE could have given them a bigger spotlight.
Such a great package for Mojo v Ryder. Should have put them on the main card. #WWEClash #Smyth
