Paul Heyman appeared on ESPN Sportscenter last night to help build the Goldberg vs. Brock Lesnar match.  It's interesting to see WWE using ESPN as the platform to help build the match, as the idea is to grab the outside attention of an audience that isn't usually watching WWE programming.  Here are the video highlights:

 

 

During discussions and promotion of "Total Bellas", it was noted that Daniel Bryan (dealing with his retirement) had a breakdown while filming.  It appears the reality series will be showing that this coming week.  On the episode that aired last night, Bryan's issues with depression were disclosed publicly for the first time.  The episode next week is listed as "Bryan's Breaking Point" and features the following synopsis: "Bryan reaches his breaking point and storms out of the Cena house after getting caught in the middle of an argument between Nikki and Brie. In other happenings, the ladies go on a vacation to celebrate Kathy's upcoming nuptials."

After announcing he was going to take a break from Twitter, Mick Foley returned, noting he didn't think it was fair to ignore his 1.6 million followers just because of the actions of one of them.

Set for next week's WWE NXT:
*Dusty Rhodes Tag Classic: Johnny Gargano and Tommaso Ciampa vs. Ho Ho Lun and Tian Bing
*Aliyah vs. Billie Kay. Liv Morgan caused a distraction, leading to the finish.
*Dusty Rhodes Tag Classic: WWE Cruiserweight champion TJ Perkins and Kota Ibushi vs. Lince Dorado and Mustafa Ali 
*WWE NXT Women's champion Asuka vs. Thea Trinidad. (the former Rosita in TNA) 
*Tye Dillinger vs. Noah Potjes. 

Former ROH champion Roderick Strong looked great in his debut for NXT last night.

WWE released the following videos after WWE NXT went off the air:
