The sponsors were REALLY not happy about that Corbin/Becky thing at the time. I know WWE had to do some serious apologizing about it. There's a reason why they never bring that spot up on air anymore. Do you have a source for that? I’ve never heard it, and Baron has talked about the spot numerous times over the years in interviews, most recently just last month. Note how I said: On air. They haven't referenced it since the spot happened.

They haven't referenced it since the spot happened. They mentioned it the next night on RAW. Part of the build up throughout the night was whether Becky would be able to show up or not because of it (she did). When sponsors start getting involved WWE tread very carefully but, like I said, Corbin talks about it regularly in interviews and it was even one of the free full matches they included on YouTube. If they had to apologise at the time that’s interesting and I’d like to see because I don’t remember it happening and I can’t find anything. Seems odd they’d apologise but still let Corbin talk about it and give the match away for free.

But I can't remember if it was sponsors or just pissed "woke" fans. But I like the no man on woman violence thing personally. I think it should rarely be done. Like this or when Jake Robert's slapped Elizabeth. Use it sparingly and it can still shock.

Via the Bump, Riddle has been written off with an injury from the stomp from Rollins, with it being listed as a brachial plexus injury (Stinger). Right now that match is postponed.

Riddle/Seth Rollins is off. Seems like a storyline injury for Riddle, but part of me wonders if they're trying to get Rollins out of it to go steal the WWE Title in the main event somehow.

SRS says that it's due to "creative tweaks" and that it'll happen at Clash at the Castle, apparently.

Realistic answers, IF he’s still on for the show who can Seth Rollins possibly face at SummerSlam in a few days?

I dunno. This sounds awfully sincere for a heel who's just swerving us and will appear anyway, but who knows.

This is probably wishful thinking. But if this is to set up Seth winning the title, or a big return (Gargano perhaps?), then I can wait a bit longer for Rollins vs. Riddle.

The rumor is it sounds like they just moved Riddle/Seth to Clash at the Castle, so it may just be a situation where they cut it for time. We'll see, I guess.

Leave Seth and Riddle off of their second biggest show of the year, would be questionable as a choice.

Questionable, but possible thought process would be giving the new even another major thing to build up to. Kind of like how Survivor Series 1991 had things that built up to "This Tuesday in Texas" (Taker/Hogan 2, Savage/Roberts).
