Some names he mentioned that stood out from the latest show were Sami Zayn (the former El Generico), Summer Rae (Fandango's current dancer), Bo Dallas, Curt Hawkins, and The Wyatt Family, among others.

He mentioned that the coaching staff, led by Bill Demott, are doing great work, and that the announce teams of William Regal/Tony Dawson and Tom Phillips/Brad Maddox had their "best night to date."

He also put Mason Ryan in high regards, stating, "Mason Ryan has made some significant improvement since being back in NXT and I look for him to be able to contribute on the next level if he continues to push himself and receive his coaching as he has been."
