– Je’Von Evans has continued to impress NXT officials at recent live events, and is expected to be a regular on NXT television moving forward. Evans featured in a backstage segment on the February 13th edition of the show.

– No matches were taped for NXT Level Up on Tuesday, as there have been extra matches taped in recent weeks due to the double taping of NXT.
