Charlotte vs. Sasha Banks closed the show, which may be the first WWE promoted live event ever where the women main evented. There were a lot of people in the back extremely happy and proud for them, especially when they received a huge standing ovation after. It was seen as something they each deserved.
Mick Foley wrote a long post on his Facebook page at this link praising the NXT show and the women in particular. Foley noted, "I feel so privileged to have witnessed history last night; watching #SashaBanks and #MsCharlotte tear the house down in an inspiring WWE NXT main event at the Tower Theater in #Philadephia. Wrestling fans always have a handful of matches they just can't forget; those special matches filed with moments that leave lasting impressions. For me, this main event between Sasha & Charlotte is one such match. The crowd was great – enthusiastic and creative, but respectful of both women, and seemingly appreciative of the significance of the occasion. The women were outstanding – and there was just that something special in the air – that special brand of magic that can turn a great match into a lifelong memory."
Foley and Joey Styles watched most of the show from the front row.
HHH streamed his in-ring promo live online via Periscope.
JoJo worked as ring announcer.
Visitors at the show included Danny Doring, The Blue Meanie and CZW owner DJ Hyde. Hyde is close with a number of NXT stars who worked for him. Meanie is local. Doring was there to support Bull Dempsey, who he goes back many years with.
