— According to Bryan Alvarez on Wrestling Observer Live, all of the NXT call-ups announced on Raw were all scheduled to be brought up to the main roster but WWE “bumped it forward” due to Vince McMahon’s announcement of a shake up.

— With McMahon opening the show promising changes and to turn things around, the decision was made to rush the call-ups as a way to overtly show that they are making an effort to freshen things up.
