Notes About The Show:
– Penny Cash was the ring announcer for the event, and Jillian Beyor acted as timekeeper.
– The announce team of Leroy Morgan (play by play) & Derrick Bateman (heel color commentator) were given a tryout as they look to replace Byron Saxton who has moved up to ECW.
– Jimmy Uso returned to FCW tonight following his bereavement leave. I noticed a subtle tribute to his late Uncle Eddie (Umaga). For the first time in FCW, he had his right hand taped up like Umaga’s Samoan Spike. He didn’t use it, but it was there.
– It appears the Sweet Papi Sanchez character is done for Jose Torres. He returned as his original “Black Pain” persona this week winning a squash over Johnny Prime.
– Darren Young of the South Beach Boys was the special referee for the "Lumber-Jill" Match. The “Lumber-Jills” were A.J. Lee, Aksana, Courtney Taylor, Naomi Night, Liviana, & Alicia Fox. During and following the match the Divas outside brawled multiple times, keeping the crowd at a fever pitch. The Queen of FCW, Mia Mancini, joined the announce team during this match.
– In a pretty funny wrestling blooper moment, Tyler Reks, when cheerleading for Alberto Banderas from the corner, called him Antonio & Tony during the entire match. Another note about this match was that the ending involved heavy chair use, which is extremely rare in FCW as they are staying as PG rated as all other WWE programming.
