CM Punk made a special appearance, announced as the guest referee for the upcoming NXT Championship match between Ethan Page and Trick Williams, set to air on the debut NXT episode on The CW. Punk’s segment with Roxanne Perez and Giulia ran longer than planned, and after the show, he stayed behind for 30 minutes to take pictures and interact with fans at the Performance Center【8†source】【9†source】.
Additionally, a production error occurred during the broadcast. A women’s tag team match featuring Lyra Valkyria & Tatum Paxley versus Rosemary & Wendy Choo was supposed to have a picture-in-picture commercial break, but a technical glitch caused it to air as a full-screen commercial instead【8†source】【10†source】. The show, internally titled “Straight Edge Down the Middle,” was a nod to Punk’s persona and his role as a referee【9†source】.
The backstage environment for this episode saw veteran producer Terry Taylor overseeing the Brooks Jensen vs. Dion Lennox match, adding more seasoned expertise to the event【10†source】.
