NXT New: CM Punk, Carmelo Hayes, More (Patreon)

Fightful Select's Corey Brennan has learned several details on this week's NXT show.

-CM Punk was backstage at this week's show, but kept a much lower profile than previous visits. Many within NXT were not aware of his presence until photos began making the rounds. 

 - Joaquin Wilde was originally supposed to get much more distance on his dive, leaving OTM to recover to catch him in time. Joaquin continues to draw praise for his willingness to partake in such large spots.   

- The backstage reaction to the show was largely positive, with one source noting that 'everyone was happy' with the episode.  

-Tatum Paxley popped out of a hidden compartment during NXT to rush Roxanne Perez. Paxley entered the hidden compartment underneath the stands for the segment.  

- Carmelo Hayes was not present at Tuesday's taping.  

- The recent influx of pre-taped vignettes are expected to continue throughout the roster, as NXT officials have been happy with the response to the segments.   

- Arianna Grace and Gigi Dolin's low blow spot was one that caught many off guard but both women were credited with selling the rare finish.
