Almas did appear in the 2018 Royal Rumble where he lasted almost thirty minutes but went back to NXT to defend his championship. He lost that title at NXT Takeover: New Orleans to Aleister Black.

The Mexican Luchador has been with WWE since 2016 and before then predominantly wrestled for the Lucha Libre promotion CMLL.

Vega has wrestled in the past and on some NXT house shows but she has not appeared in a match on a WWE or NXT broadcast outside of a match against Asuka in 2016.

Fightful Wrestling had live coverage and recapping podcasts for the Superstar Shakeup episodes of Raw and Smackdown.
