Fightful Select's early WWE Raw on Netflix scoops thread! We'll have a lot more details throughout the day that we will add to this, and will have an additional thread tonight.

• The NXT roster is expected on hand at the show. Sources told Fightful's Corey Brennan that it was a case of having the roster there early for their show in LA tomorrow.
