Triple H doing his entrance in a now rare house show match:

It's worth noting that Triple H was said to get a huge pop for his entrance, if you can't tell, and Roman Reigns, his opponent at WrestleMania 32, got a mixed reaction. Take that for what you will at an arena like this for a show like this.

He was a guest ring announcer who did an interview with The Dudley Boyz before their match, acting like they were friends until he brought up tables, at which point Bubba Ray and D-Von turned on him. The Usos ran out to protect him from taking any punishment. After, he danced with The New Day. Apparently, he tried to do the worm and failed.
AJ Styles big debut at The Garden:

What they did on Raw this past week but in front of a house show crowd without having to worry about television issues. While Owens won, they let AJ get over after the match and he thanked the fans for being everything he thought they would be in his first match in the building.
What's next?
One crew (Bray Wyatt, Big Show, Kane) heads to Trenton, New Jersey for a show tomorrow night while the other crew (Roman Reigns, Dean Ambrose, Sheamus) heads for Richmond, Virginia.
