NXT SCOOPS THREAD (includes spoilers) (Patreon)

Corey Brennan has learned the following for tonight's show.

• Tony D’Angelo’s injury at No Mercy worried backstage officials, but Tony waved off the referee multiple times throughout the course of his match with Oba Femi. We haven’t heard if he is scheduled for tonight’s show.

• Mike Rome is absent due to personal reasons, we are told. Alicia Taylor will continue to take over in the meantime. Rome is expected back in the near future.

• As we reported earlier today, Giulia is expected for tonight’s show.

• As confirmed in the Fightful Select discord, Rosemary is set to face Tatum Paxley on tonight’s show.

• Lyra Valkyria and Chelsea Green are backstage at tonight’s show. Green at least is expected to feature on the show in a segment or match with Giulia.

• There is a lot of motivation amongst the roster heading into their debut on The CW at the beginning of next month.

• Officials were said to be “very pleased” by the overwhelming fan response to Trick Williams’ diss track on Pete Dunne. Their rivalry is expected to continue past tonight’s show.

• Those we spoke to told us to expect more TNA-NXT crossover, and The Rascalz are expected to be part of plans for the next couple of months, as NXT officials have been incredibly happy with Zachary Wentz’ performances and attitude since returning to the brand.

• In case it wasn’t obvious, officials have been incredibly thrilled with Roxanne Perez’ development as a heel during her title reign. As we reported back prior to the WWE Draft, officials were planning on keeping her on the brand to develop her heel character.
