WWE/NXT Live Event Reports, April 20-23: Final Events Before Roster Changes, Roode Vs. Itami, Lana In Action, Much More!

Another week on the road for WWE is in the books.

The two main rosters, Raw and Smackdown, stuck with their rosters prior to the Superstar Shake-Up through the house shows on Sunday, April 23. The new rosters take effect from here forward. 

It was a busy week for NXT, which, the night after its latest round of TV tapings, embarked across Florida for a three-show loop that included a preview of the main event of NXT Takeover: Chicago, as Bobby Roode defended his NXT Title against Hideo Itami. Gurv Sihra and Harv Sihra, just a few days removed from helping Jinder Mahal become the No. 1 contender on Smackdown, worked as The Singh Brothers as part of this loop. Meanwhile, Lana worked in singles matches at all three NXT events, possible warm-up before she makes her Smackdown debut with what is expected to be a new look and, reportedly, breaking away on-camera from her real-life husband, Rusev.
