- For those asking, Marina Shafir's nose injury was legit. She sustained it in December, and WWE made her wear the mask to compete. The spot caused changes to NXT live events for a bit.

- NXT referee Jessika Carr is expected to ref the Halftime Heat match. She had previously been relegated primarily to women's matches.

- I was told that WWE isn't done making hires to help out at the Performance Center and backstage, and were talking to additional names.
