– WWE announced a sold-out crowd of 15,776 fans in attendance at the Capital One Arena in Washington, DC for tonight’s SmackDown 1000 episode.
– WWE taped the following matches tonight in Washington, DC to air on Wednesday’s WWE 205 Live episode:
* Akira Tozawa vs. Drew Gulak
* Fatal 5 Way with Tony Nese, TJP, Gran Metalik, Lio Rush and Cedric Alexander
– Tonight’s opening segment on the 1,000th episode of WWE SmackDown featured R-Truth and Carmella hosting the second edition of TruthTV. This quickly led to RAW Commissioner Stephanie McMahon coming out, and then SmackDown Commissioner Shane McMahon making his return to TV. WWE Chairman Vince McMahon interrupted their arguing and received a big pop for his return. Vince ended the segment by calling for a “dance break” as everyone in the ring danced together. You can see photos and videos from the segment below:
