WWE NXT Divas Make In-Ring Debuts, Most-Watched WWE - ESPN Guest, Guitarist Gives Props To Triple H
- Jonathan Coachman revealed in his recent interview with SI's Extra Mustard website that the most-watched ESPN "Off The Top Rope" segment was the one with Roman Reigns back on December 15th. Coach said:
"We always tweet out the interviews after we're done on SportsCenter, and the most watched interview so far?and it hasn't been close?has been Roman Reigns. This is a good dude who is starting to find out what fits him. I think you're going to see the negativity surrounding him switch and turn, and he'll turn into one of the biggest stars in the world."
- WWE Tough Enough winner Sara Lee and Tough Enough participant Mandy Rose (Amanda Saccomanno) made their WWE NXT live event in-ring debuts last night in Venice, Florida. Sara teamed with Liv Morgan and Aliyah to defeat Mandy, Billie Kay and Peyton Royce. Our correspondent noted that both Sara and Mandy showed signs of improvement but definitely Mandy more than Sara. It was noted that Sara was well-received by the crowd.
- As noted, Tool guitarist Adam Jones was backstage for Wednesday's WWE NXT TV tapings at Full Sail University. He posted this message on his Instagram, giving big props to Triple H:
Tonight's #NXT tapping was EPIC. Want to thank EVERYONE involved. I'm totally floating above the ground.
