1) WWE Is Going ALL-IN On ‘The Artist’ Name For Shinsuke Nakamura
It was clear throughout Backlash that WWE is going all-in on calling Shinsuke Nakamura: ‘The Artist’ moving forward.
This included a video package that aired on the kickoff show that featured an artist painting:

For anybody that wants the nickname to go away…. It doesn’t look like that is happening anytime soon.
2) Booker T – That Was NOT ‘PG’
On the kickoff show, James Ellsworth joined the panel. During the interview, Booker T asked Ellsworth about his relationship with Carmella.
Booker made a not so ‘PG’ hand gesture while inquiring about the relationship. If you missed it, we will let this GIF do the talking:
