That Entrance
Tonight featured the second appearance from Karrion Kross and Scarlett, and that meant fans got to see that slick entrance once more, including Scarlett's lip-syncing and this priceless GIF.

Ciampa Vs Kross
Speaking of Kross and Scarlett, they were interrupted by a returning Tommaso Ciampa, who made it clear this was his ring, ending his segment by challenging Kross to a match at the upcoming TakeOver In Your House, and we absolutely cannot wait.
Get ready... #WWENXT https://t.co/pZGxKfxD2S

We also got this moment, and we're not sure what to make of it. To be fair, Ciampa didn't know what to make of it either.

Shotzi And Her Tank
One of the biggest surprises of the show was this amazing promo from Shotzi Blackheart, which had her showing her love for rock and roll and tanks all in the same clip. Her energy is infectious, so here's hoping they really let her loose over the next few weeks, because the potential is definitely there.
If you get in her way, prepare to get 𝑪𝑹𝑼𝑺𝑯𝑬𝑫. 💚🖤

A Killer Couple
Mia Yim didn't get much time to celebrate her win, as Candice LeRae and Johnny Gargano came out to quickly kill the vibe. That said, these two were brilliant in this segment, delivering several hilarious lines and some standout moments, especially Gargano, who sang along with Yim's entrance music and fit in a drop it like it's hot reference before the night was over.

prevnextTag Match?
LeRae and Gargano ganged up on Yim, but she didn't remain alone for long, as Keith Lee came to provide some backup, running them out of the ring.
This obviously got us to thinking that a tag match could be in our future, and if that's the case, sign us up now!

prevnextA Velveteen Dive
After the Undisputed ERA came out to help Roderick Strong, Velveteen Dream came to offer some help to Dexter Lumis, and he quickly cleaned house. That includes this crazy number that had him leaping off the top rope and over the barricade to elbow drop Adam Cole on the floor.
Sure he did some damage to himself in the process, but we think he feels it was worth it.
