Bryan has previously hinted at wanting to wrestle Cody when his deal expires:
Side note, if you hold the @ringofhonor title 462 days I may have to come after you, which would be 9/28/18. Be forewarned! #FinalCountdown https://t.co/alSLGCeNcX

As we noted over the weekend, it seems more likely that he will wrestle again when his WWE deal expires next year.
Fans in Brooklyn were on Baron Corbin’s case just prior to NXT Takeover: Brooklyn III. There was a “you f**ked up” chant when fans saw him during the Kickoff show. That is likely a reference to this article.
Sid Vicous wrestled on a show for Great North Wrestling in Ottawa on 8/5. Watch The Master and the Ruler of the World wrestling in the video below:
New NXT Champion Drew McIntyre had an emotional moment backstage after his big win at NXT Takeover: Brooklyn III. Pictured with him is Fit Finlay and Sheamus. They have been friends since McIntyre’s first run with the company.
