Editor’s Note
There’s speculation that the four added matches won’t air on the Network, and will simply be taped for a future episode of NXT programming. I don’t buy that for a second. Several superstars are advertising on Twitter that they’ll be performing at the special event, so I’ll roll with that until proven otherwise.
