There was some concern among fans that Rich Swann’s rib injury was legit. We’ll keep our ears up and let you know what we hear.

Our friend Trina was making towns this weekend, heeling on obnoxious fans and making like a combo of Kofi Kingston & Matt Riddle:
I need to get out of here I almost fought a high school kid for the last @WWEDillinger shirt in Medium. I actually said, "BRO?!?" #NXTOmaha

Not entirely sure where credit for this picture should go (this is one Mike Rome reTweeted), but it is a new favorite of mine:
The eclipsing of a certain woman known as Peyton was inevitable. Ya' don't mess with good ole, Mike Romes!#NXTOmaha pic.twitter.com/SQHAdgTkGu

Aries followed the WWE World champ’s lead and won thanks to a low blow, but Hideo got his $#!+ in after the bell, which gave us these phenomenal sells from A-Double:

It IS a catchy song:
No Way Jose is absolutely dancing to Roode's music. #glorious #NXTOmaha pic.twitter.com/Oa2zZ3IQ7i

After his win - Bobby giving the people what they want, giving them what they need...
This is pretty much my platonic ideal of a Trio:

The former NXT tag champ kicked Charly Caruso out of the ring to turn his interview into a promo, as there was only room for one beautiful person.

A certain former TNA World champ wasn’t with them, but Ms. Glencross was at ringside, getting involved wherever possible. She apparently had to be restrained by Wolfe & Fulton at times...
Well...this is going to be interesting. #NXTTampa pic.twitter.com/HJt9KOBOEx
