– Below is a shot at the crowd for Tuesday’s WWE 205 Live tapings in Tulsa, courtesy of Twitter user @seanthurmond. WWE is taping 205 Live before SmackDown until Mixed Match Challenge season 2 ends. It will be interesting to see how they edit the tapings for tonight’s broadcast on the WWE Network as there were many empty seats for the tapings. The matches started at around 6:15pm local time but the show was advertised to begin at 6:30pm local time.

– Tonight’s WWE NXT main event will feature WWE UK Champion Pete Dunne vs. NXT North American Champion Ricochet with the titles on the line. Below is video of Sarah Schreiber asking Dunne how he prepared for tonight’s big match.
“Ricochet’s held that title for a grand total of about 5 minutes. I’ve held this title for 450 days,” Dunne said. “I’m the longest reigning champion in the WWE, so your question should be, how is Ricochet preparing for The Bruiserweight?”
Dunne also threatens to break Ricochet’s fingers before walking off.
