WWE released this statement about the technical issues during the show...

"During tonight's live NXT ArRIVAL special, we unfortunately experienced technical difficulties, which are to be expected when launching a new digital network. We will work aggressively to solve these glitches and deliver quality service. The complete event will be available on-demand overnight."

Most of the roster had to watch the event from a neighbouring building, due to lack of space.

Sylvester LeFort hurt his neck in his post show match, where he lost to Mason Ryan.

There was a ticketing issue, 200 people had to be turned away due to the arena over selling tickets.

Some stars appeared in the crowd, including John Cena and Ric Flair, they were not there for the whole show, but moved into position just before the on camera spot, and then left again.

TNA HOF:

Dixie snipes at Double J:


Dixie Carter tweeted during her Ask Dixie chats on Twitter that...

''I only compete with things that are real. And I take that very seriously.''

Change of heart for TV company:


ComCast have decided to continue airing WWE PPV events after all. They had been preparing to make the announcement they were to drop the WWE. No word on why they changed their plans.

WWE Network:


WWE cannot air PPV events until 24 hours after the original air date, because of a contractual agreement. The previous agreement, and one that still stands for Raw and SmackDown was 30 days.

They later clarified that this was for the on demand viewing of events, so events can air live, but cannot be repeated for at least 24 hours after the live broadcast ended. The confusion came from a badly worded statement about the Elimination Chamber's availability on the Network, that event, like the Royal Rumble is subject to the 30 day contract, so cannot be shown until March 24.
