As previously noted, Jason Jordan and Brian Kendrick were listed as producers for the match between Smackdown Women’s champion Ronda Rousey and Shotzi at the 2022 WWE Survivor Series PLE. During Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer of F4WOnline.com commented on why Kendrick was brought in…

“What happened was, Brian Kendrick was Ronda Rousey’s original wrestling trainer, and she suggested, she asked, for him to be brought in for her match with Shotzi. So he was in on Saturday, and it was not a hire. You could say it was a tryout, I wouldn’t say it wasn’t a tryout, but it really wasn’t like a normal tryout. It was more Ronda Rousey asked for him to help her. Jason Jordan also produced it, but she asked for Brian to be brought in, so they brought him in.”
