Triple H took a conference call today which can be found here - http://www.betweentheropes.com/2014/12/10/triple-h-conference-call-nxt-revolution-kevin-owens-debut-improving-brand-2015/

He fumbles through some excuse for why the Charlotte/Natalya match went down the way it did on Raw. He blamed it on time contraints if you can believe that.

Cautious about giving predictions about the show given all the intrigue going into the show. Which it is a welcome change from the main roster PPVs which are either paint by numbers or something where I can't be arsed about caring about wins & losses and future booking.

rovert

I must say the shared feeling of success and happiness from Steen's peers from his Indies today on social media has been so awesome.

Any news on the bodypaint?

Well on Wreddit (famous last words)

someone claiming to be a Full Sail student who was at the rehearsal last night said that Balor is going to wear it and it will be his Venom design.

Personally expect it what else could he be referring to? Hornswoggle :eek:

Moneymaker

He's slimmed down so much. He'll always be a big burly dude but he's looking as good as he ever has.

CastorTroy

Actually good to see this get its own thread. I think it's earned it and has all the makings of a decent PPV with less chance of knowing the outcome of the matches.

The pre show has been more or less pre-taped now lads.

Corey Graves announced his retirement. Joins the announce team tonight!

Helluva debut from Kev. This tag match isn't doing much for me. Crowd are on fire though.

Moneymaker

Goosebumps.

Moneymaker

GTS denied!

Agent Coulson

Didn't think much of the tag match.

There was only one Superstar in the ring and that was Finn.

Ascension are made for Smackdown. :pac:

Balor is a CLEAR star.

Agent Coulson

The charisma blackhole is here.

Believe that.

Agent Coulson

Little JoJo is looking well.

Moneymaker

That was a great match. Very enjoyable.

billion dollar baby

That had to be one of the best women's matches I've seen in years. These 2 are stars

rovert

Was COMPLETELY into Sasha winning that match but now REMATCH PLEASE. Whopper match.

$19.99 WWE Shop.

Moneymaker

Generico is a Daniel Bryan level babyface waiting to happen.

Agent Coulson

Adrian Neville is more Philip than Gary I think for all his ability he doesn't have IT.

Ageyev

Has every match had a dive to the outside?
