PWTorch has reported that RAW ran smoothly last night despite Vince’s absense to be with Stephanie when she went into labour. The HBK/Coach segment was rewritten, but most of the show was left alone, with Vince available via phone if writers Ed Koskie or Dave Lagana needed him. Paul Heyman was there, but Brian Gewertz was not.
In other news, Vince McMahon is having a $2.3 million indoor tennis facility constructed in Ebensburg, PA as a gift to his mother, who is a resident there. You can read about it here.
