What caught our eye?

An angle running through the house show in Pikeville? That’s pretty cool. Let’s see if we can spot who was in the battle royal - I spy a lot of dudes pulling double duty:

I think Byron held Kyle back - get this kid a job!

Bad news for fans hoping for different booking of Bray post-injury... the main events do appear to have been a three-on-two. At least they were in the main event?

The rollout of Bob Backlund as Young’s manager reportedly didn’t get much of a reaction.

West Virginian Slater got a nice reaction last night, though.

What caught our eye?

Raw in Columbus, and SmackDown in Toledo before a couple days off.
