WWE/NXT Live Event Reports, Oct. 25-29: Supershows, NXT Halloween Costumes, Seth Rollins Calls Out Dean Ambrose, Chelsea Green Debuts, Much More!
The main roster altered its usual schedule of events, with the all-women’s event Evolution taking place. Instead, there were two more “Supershow” cards, which blended talent from the Raw and SmackDown rosters. The Supershows marked the first interactions between Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins since Ambrose turned on Rollins last week on Raw. At both events, Rollins called out Ambrose to explain his actions, only to have Ambrose attack from behind.
A fan tweeted video of one of these segments:
heading into Crown Jewel on Friday in Saudi Arabia.
NXT held another Halloween themed battle royal — similar to last year’s, when various members of the roster dressed in costumes. The highlight this year probably was Otis Dozovic, who dressed up as Mandy Rose.
Here are all the results.
