-At the broadcast table, they acknowledged that it was Corey Graves' last show on the commentary team as he'll be focusing on his WWE main-roster duties.  They ran a tribute video of Graves' career, dating back to his wrestling days in Florida Championship Wrestling and then the early days of NXT before concussions brought his in-ring career to a premature end.  After the video, Graves was not happy that his final match on NXT commentary would feature Elias Samson...
