We previously reported that WWE were planning to have some of the NXT talent feature on Raw and Smackdown to better promote the NXT brand on the WWE Network.

While no NXT star wrestled on this Monday's Raw like the week previous the dark match prior to tonight's WWE Main Event featured Kofi Kingston vs. Tyler Breeze in which Kingston came out on top.

Adrian Neville and Sami Zayn took on and defeated The Ascension in another dark match prior to the SmackDown taping.
