You may have noticed that Kevin Owens wasn't on WWE Raw Monday night, but he also wasn't at the show or the talent meeting ahead of the episode. WWE had no creative plans for him last Monday, and he wasn't brought in to the site of Raw accordingly. He is on the UK tour.

Earlier today, PWInsider reported several injury updates. Subsequently, Fightful did some poking around and gained some updates

- Alexa Bliss is listed for a November 15 evaluation date, as is Elias.

After Fightful Select got in touch with Seth Rollins today about the WWE Raw talent meeting, several other members of the WWE Raw roster have spoken to us about the meeting.
All confirmed the nature of the talent meeting, but shot down the initial reports that Randy Orton made a light hearted joke in order to soften the mood. According to one talent " No one said anything dumb. Opposite actually. Weird meeting but no one acted up."

Meeting-gate?
After the travel woes coming out of Saudi Arabia that annoyed much of the WWE roster, WWE held a talent meeting on Monday before WWE Raw. Reports emerged that Seth Rollins had given a "rah-rah speech" at the meeting. Rollins called the reporter a "purveyor of misinformation or at worst an outright, vindictive liar," saying he hoped it was the former.
We can't speak to those ...

The Joey Mercury-Greg Gilleland-Ring of Honor situation has people within ROH talking, and some going public.
Joey Mercury went off on ROH GM Greg Gilleland on Friday afternoon, leveling several accusations of negligence. When Fightful contacted ROH and Gilleland, they respectfully declined to comment. However, Fightful has spoken to people on both sides of the argument about some of the concerns rai...

Randy Orton continues to cause waves on social media, but according to multiple sources, he's been trying backstage as well.

In regards to the WWE-Saudi Arabia situation, what Hugo Savinovich spoke about is almost exactly what we heard from talent Friday morning. However, outside of Vince having a "disagreement," we haven't been able to confirm much of anything else as all the conjecture is second-hand. Since Savinovich has spoken openly about it, we can at least say those were the rumors floating among talent. We do not have Savinovich's report up on the main site as we don't have those confirmations, but we often...

Some WWE talent is headed home.
Fightful Select has learned that Roman Reigns, Bobby (Roode or Lashley), Shinsuke Nakamura, Bray Wyatt, Big E, Dolph Ziggler, Kofi Kingston, Scott Dawson, Dash Wilder and a few others were on the charter that left Saudi Arabia.
We aren't sure if they've landed, when they will land, or what their status is for Smackdown. Revival vs. New Day had previously been advertised for tonight's Smackdown

With all of the issues surrounding Saudi Arabia travel and WWE Smackdown, we're told WWE has reached out to names on the roster who weren't originally set for the show to see if they would be able to make it in for Smackdown if needed. Fightful has contacted WWE for comment on the story, but we haven't heard back.
UPDATE: At 2 PM we were given an obvious note that there's a big scramble to make a show, and that WWE was as of now operating on the assumption that the chartered flight woul...

There's an odd travel situation happening right now in Saudi Arabia, as WWE's charter flight has been delayed for several hours.
Fightful learned early Friday morning that a charter plane containing the majority of the WWE roster and staff had never taken off. Those who were supposed to be aboard were told of "delays," and some have become suspicious of the delay.
Many of the people that are set to fly out have been awake all through the day and night already, with several s...

- While the Saudi Arabia payouts to WWE talent started off very high, they've decreased for some since the initial show.
- We're told that a follow up match for Saudi Arabia was always planned for Seth Rollins and The Fiend, but originally this week was supposed to be their last one, with a double turn planned. However, with Hell in a Cell going down the way that it did, we don't know how that's changed.
