• A series of video packages aired through the month celebrating Jeff Hardy overcoming his addictions, despite a more recent DUI post-dating the time the video was covered.

• Adam Cole retained his NXT Championship over Velveteen Dream, Matt Riddle and Timothy Thatcher lost their tag titles to Imperium and then Thatcher beat Riddle in a singles match ahead of Riddle going to Smackdown. Drake Maverick, who remains legitimately fired in real life, made it to the final of the Interim Cruiserweight Championship Tournament along with El Hijo del Fantasma.
