Joe says the NXT Title should be vacated due to Nakamura being out of action and then William Regal comes out. Regal says that while Joe might have a point, he has yet to hear from Nakamura, so he won’t make any decisions yet. Joe then gets in Regal’s face and says if he doesn’t get what he wants the entire NXT roster will end up like Nakamura.

Stephanie McMahon opens RAW and shortly after that Shane McMahon comes out


They both have to announce their general managers for their respective programs. Stephanie announces the new GM of Monday Night Raw will be…Mick Foley!
Mick Foley enters. He talks the Attitude Era and the Monday Night Wars. He says he will bring the same ruthlessness and competitive streak to Raw, ensuring it consistently beats SmackDown. 
Shane McMahon announces the new general manager of SmackDown…Daniel Bryan! Bryan enters to  “Yes!” chants all around. He tells the crowd that he missed them twice as much as they missed him. He says SmackDown will put the superstars, not the management, first. Bryan also says SmackDown is the underdog just the way he always was. Stephanie calls Daniel a B+ player for a B+ show.

It was an great segment over all. Both insane choices.

Cesaro and Sami Zayn vs. Chris Jericho and Kevin Owens

Sami Zayn and Cesaro won


Darren Young w/ Bob Backlund at ringside vs. Alberto Del Rio W/ The Miz & Maryse at ringside

Darren Young won (Miz attempted to interfere but instead Darren came out the winner)

No DQ. When Natalya came out and attacked Becky Lynch and that lead to Charlotte and Dana Brooke attacking Sasha Banks and left her lying in the ring.


Dolph Ziggler and Zack Ryder vs. Rusev and Sheamus

Rusev and Sheamus won


Rules of WWE Draft:

RAW has first overall pick

For every two SmackDown picks, RAW gets three

Tag teams count as one pick unless a commissioner/GM wants only one of the members of the team

6 draft picks will be off the NXT Roster


Dean Ambrose vs. Seth Rollins for the WWE Championship W/ Shane McMahon & Daniel Bryan and Mick Foley & Stephanie McMahon at ring side.

Will there was a three count.. But not clear answer as too who is the winner.

So Stephanie McMahon says Seth Rollins is the New WWE Champion but there was no official winner made from the ref, and exclusively on WWE Network fall out from the WWE Championship match, Seth appears to be walking away but I guess the ref said it was an draw, and Dean Ambrose is still the WWE Champion and Seth has to give it back, Seth gets back in the ring and appears to want to attack Ambrose, and then Ambrose dirty deeds Rollins and stands tall on the top  of the rope and holds up the title to close the show.

What will happen on SmackDown LIVE tomorrow and who will be drafted to RAW or SmackDown. We will find out tomorrow.

Also do you think WWE will create two WWE Championship Titles or will one just be the WHC or What? I guess well know soon right?

We see a recap of the showdown between Nakamura and Bálor, 2 Weeks ago. And the challenge of Nakamura to Bálor, I look forward to this match.

exclusive comments from Nakamura explaining why he feels he needs to face his friend Finn, and promising a sensational match


Andrade "Cien" Almas defeated Noah Kekoa


Bálor explains how deep his friendship with Nakamura is, and how he helped Shinsuke get acclimated to NXT just as he helped him get settled into Japan. Even though they've faced each other before, he says this one is special because a lot has changed, and this time it's in NXT.


Bayley vs. Alexa Bliss is announced for next week



Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa defeated The Hype Bros

Ciampa and Gargano cut a promo after the match saying they should be next in line for a NXT Tag Team Title shot. American Alpha interrupt and say no offense, but they're next in line to get their rematch and that whenever Gargano and Ciampa get their shot, it'll be against them. Chad Gable and Jason Jordan promise to get their revenge on The Authors of Pain but first, they've got unfinished business with The Revival, who come out and say they dictate the terms of who gets a shot. William Regal comes out and announces Alpha vs. Revival for a 2 of 3 Falls Match next week. The Authors of Pain attack Alpha after Regal's announcement. Gargano and Ciampa try to make the save but get destroyed. The Authors of pain lay out Alpha with their finisher and then Ellering comes out on stage to call them to him to end the show.

I have a feeling The Authors of Pain will challenge or even face The Revival for the NXT Tag Team Titles.
