NXT and ECWCW have the next PPV this week.

Raw
Match 1. Rusev vs. Cesaro
They traded uppercuts. Rusev hit a wheelbarrow slam on the outside. Cesaro came back with a huge uppercut for a near fall. He then won with the Neutralizer.

The mid-card is pretty stacked on Raw. Rusev has a lot of challengers.

Match 2. Bayley vs. Naomi

Match 3. New Day vs. The Club
Gallows and Anderson attacked Kofi at ringside.

Match 4. Batista vs. Finn Balor
Balor won, but Batista attacked him after. Will Balor be 100 percent?

Interesting dynamic.

Match 2. Natalya vs. Brie Bella

Match 3. Darren Young w/ Titus O'Neil vs. Heath Slater

Match 4. Dolph Ziggler vs. Tyson Kidd

After the match, the two brawled some more before being separated.

NXT
Match 1. Adam Rose vs. Apollo Crews vs. Austin Aries

Match 2. Elias Samson vs. Bo Dallas

Match 3. Tye Dillinger vs. Andrade 'Cien' Almas
Tye took control after a collar-and-elbow tie up. He locked in the Sharpshooter and hit the Tye Breaker, but Almas kicked out. Almas landed a huge super sunset flip. Dillinger in the Perfect 10 Splash for another near fall. He won with a second Tye Breaker.

This was a breakout match for Dillinger. He was underlooked for a while. He will be a star.

Match 4. Hideo Itami vs. Samoa Joe

Main Event. AJ Styles vs. Bobby Roode vs. Shinsuke Nakamura vs. Rich Swann
Swann is the ultimate underdog in this match. Roode shoved a chair into Styles' face. All four men were on the outside. Nakamura hit Swann with a Death Valley Driver and fisherman piledriver. Roode continued to dominate AJ on the outside AJ hit the Pele kick. Roode landed a spine buster. Minutes later, he hit the Styles Clash. Nakamura pinned Swann after another DVD.

Nakamura makes his claim for the best in NXT. It's a crowded title picture.

Flair picked apart Dusty early. Rhodes got a near fall after the Bionic Elbow. Flair locked in the Figure Four. He then won after a piledriver.

After the match, Flair grabbed a chair and hit Dusty a couple of times.

Wow. Flair is doing everything to make sure Dusty doesn't make it to the PPV.

TNA

Cody attacked Angle before the match.

Jeff attacked Del Rio from behind. Galloway hit a neck breaker and Irish Curse, but Del Rio kicked out. The match then spilled to the outside. Galloway won with the Future Shock.

Jeff could win the TNA title if Del Rio isn't 100 percent.

ROH

Each man had a few moments on offense. Cole hit the knee drop brain buster, but Lethal grabbed the ropes. He then hit a dive to the outside. Lethal tried fighting off a back stabber and German suplex, but he received another brain buster and Cole won.
