What caught our eye?
TNA's Rebel and Jeremy Borash were reportedly in attendance in Tennessee.
The Nashville curse strikes again, and our thoughts go out to The Drifter. This is some old-school class:
Great sign of respect, Andrade refused to let the ref raise his hand in victory when Elias went down. #NXTNashville

His trolling may have subsided, but it hasn't gone away... Finn pointed to every letter in the "CLUB" part of the "Bálor Club".
The TakeOver: The End... protection scheme/send the house show crowd home happy ploy was to have Joe put his feet on the ropes to get the pin, then have Bálor fight off the post-match beatdown to stand tall.

From Florida, I'm turning it over to Cagesider Jason Yeckley, who was in attendance:
Nick Miller was very impressive and TM-61 just ooze charisma.
Mandy Rose more than held her own with Adrienne Reese.
Steve Cutler and Chris Girard easily had the match of the night. Very physical and very crisp.
Alexa Bliss was the perfect third wheel in the triple threat main event. She ducked out in the beginning every time Nia or Asuka went after her. Nia was definitely protected during the match as a lot of the work was between Alexa and Asuka once the action picked up.
A little disappointing to not get Austin Aries, Mojo, or Blake considering they all worked last night in Tampa.
Thanks Jason!
Also, we don't know where's she's been, but she was back for the meet & greet...
