Becky Lynch, The Revival, Ricochet, Cesaro, Shinsuke Nakamura, Carmella, Dana Brooke, Sonya Deville, Mandy Rose, Sarah Logan, Kairi Sane, Natalya, Nikki Cross, The Viking Raiders, Zack Ryder, Street Profits, Drew McIntyre, and Seth Rollins all showed up during the show, with Lynch kicking off the broadcast and Rollins closing it with an attack on Adam Cole and then a brawl with Tommaso Ciampa. WWE pushed last night’s NXT in hopes of overtaking AEW in the viewership numbers, at least for this week, while promoting both NXT Takeover: WarGames and the Survivor Series.

ACH, the man formerly known as Jordan Myles, wrote on Twitter that he will be participating in two matches for two independent promotions over the next few days, first for Heavy Metal Wrestling tomorrow night and then going to Atlanta Wrestling Entertainment on Sunday, December 1.
