It’s being recorded for NXT during the week as far as I know.

Jerichoholic

Yeah I see that now. Why am I watching this pre show, it's the worst.

This pre show is brutal. Absolutely brutal. Why is Samoa Joe here?? Bizarre.

Was thinking that or else he wins it to lose it to Adam Cole in New Orleans

PTH2009

Tag match was good but I think I had higher expectations. All four guys will be getting a good job pat on the back for it though.

I think he has potential to be a star, he isn't treated like a joke, he's big, young and he does little things that make him stand out, the tights air brushed, the boxing gimmick tonight.

brianregan09

To be honest this is probably the most interesting I've seen him , he should embrace the whole boxing /apollo creed type thing

Jerichoholic

This match...not very good.

PTH2009

dream is only 22

ffs he grew up in the Cenation era (feel old ??)

mrkiscool2

I think Dream is one of the best in the business at telling a story in the ring, his match against Black was amazing due to the psychology of it.

Furious-Red

That match was a botch fest with no flow at all

brianregan09

Ohno is awful can't believe chris hero is still in there somewhere

Scary talent for 22

J. Marston

A bit of the CM Punks from that elbow drop but standing on the ring post is a cool touch.

cian68

It's important for inexperienced guys like Dream and Lars Sullivan to learn from veterans like Ohno but can I get some Ohno takeover matches against more polished talents please? Ohno vs Alistair Black or something.

Furious-Red

Oh Gargano has his family all at the arena which means he is def loosing. Is this a 2 or 3 hour show?

sky88

Sloppy at times but enjoyable match

Usually a 2 or 2 and a half hour show
