* ''Adam Cole Bay Bay!'' - Wrestling/AdamCole on WWE's main roster.



* OneSteveLimit: A real example (Michael Cole forcing an Adam Cole name change on the main roster) is used in "Adam Cole Bay Bay!". Under threat of violence, Adam Cole convinces Michael Cole to appear as just "Michael" from now on.



* StealthSequel: While multiple rebookings have been shown to be in the same universe as each other, "Adam Cole Bay Bay" is the first one to directly follow a rebooking of a different star. In this case, it follows on from "Keith Lee's Limitless Potential", with a Keith Lee well-established on the main roster. This is a case of serendipity, as part of Adam Cole's aborted main roster plans saw him managing Keith Lee. Bryce and Dylan even joke about what Cole's position would be as the lackey in the Doctor gimmick.



* WorkedShoot: In "Keith Lee's Limitless Potential", [[spoiler:Keith Lee cuts a scathing promo on creative's plans for him, including having him work an unnecessary gimmick and chasing the 24/7 Championship.]]

Though this time it's a subversion as it turns out Adam Cole himself chose this idea over bringing Wrestling/TheUndisputedEra with him to [=SmackDown=].

* FoundFootageFilms: In "Twisted Alexa Bliss", one episode of Raw is punctuated by footage from Shayna Baszler's home, filmed by Nia Jax. They didn't make it to Raw, officially due to having "missed their flight", but really they don't want to have to deal with [[spoiler:Nikki Cross having possibly freed Alexa Bliss from her institutionalisation]]. This doesn't stop unusual occurrences from reaching them.
