- The Twitter war between Randy Orton and Tommaso Ciampa is apparently not scripted by WWE. The exchange started when Orton commented a leg-slapping joke during NXT Takeover: In Your House and Ciampa fired back, saying Orton's matches were boring. While it could very well be something planned between the two, it isn't anything that was decided by the company, as there are no known plans of Ciampa getting called to RAW or SmackDown anytime soon despite losing to Karrion Kross on Sunday's event.

We say: Seems like people just having fun, although it's highly counterproductive for two top guys in the same company to be shitting on each other's work if it isn't planned.
- WWE is once again working on some redesigns for a couple of championship belts. The NXT Championship is reportedly getting a bigger version with the same design, while the United States Championship is in line for a redesign after the Intercontinental Championship was remodeled earlier this year.

We say: The NXT line needs an overhaul to make it stand out again, while the US title probably needs freshening up for this era.
