Backstage News
- Michael Hayes didn't produce Bloodline related segments, which is a rarity on nights he works.
- There were several additional draft reactions filmed from NXT.
- Shotzi vs. Lacey Evans' dark match was produced by Shawn Daivari
- Matt Riddle vs. Solo Sikoa dark match was produced by Jason Jordan
- Raquel Rodriguez vs. Rhea Ripley dark match was produced by Jason Jordan.
- By the time of the show, most of the talent knew where they were headed in the draft, at least based on those we spoke to.
- There are plans for draft cameos on Monday as well.
- Those we spoke to on Saturday were puzzled by some of the "free agents," including Omos, who had been booked against Brock Lesnar and Seth Rollins.
- AJ Styles was around all day backstage and was not hidden for his return.
Comments
Honestly Omos is the most confusing free agent but if they want to just have him on hand for any feud he could do that makes sense. Either that or a short NXT run might do him some good.
