Mike And Maria Kanellis On His Debut Win (Video), Tonight's WWE NXT Matches, James Ellsworth
- As noted, last night's WWE SmackDown saw Mike Kanellis win his in-ring WWE debut with a win over Sami Zayn, thanks to an assist from wife Maria Kanellis. In the video above, Dasha Fuentes asks Mike about the win but Maria interrupts and says of course they are excited about the way they won because Sami got what he deserves – a lesson about the power of love.
- Matches confirmed for tonight's WWE NXT episode include Ruby Riot vs. Ember Moon and Drew McIntyre vs. Killian Dain with the winner earning a shot at NXT Champion Bobby Roode.
