Yeah, at least half of the commercial breaks were split screen. I did laugh at how hard JR was trying to hammer that point home to keep viewers though.

Did anyone else have DVR issues with NXT? I set my DVR to always record 5 minutes past every show to be safe (used to run it 20 minutes for RAW but don't have to anymore) and my DVR cut off at 10:05. The Tag match was still going on. Confused I went back and checked my TV guide and it said NXT was 8-10:15pm.
I'm almost positive the guide said 8-10 when I first recorded it. Will have to go see the finish on the network.

His wife is billed as Brandi Rhodes, so they can't own the last name.
I was very confused by the heel/face dynamic also. I wasn't following AEW super close before this TNT debut but from some video promos linked on here plus the brother feud they did with Goldust, I was very confident Cody was a heel in AEW. They must have turned him recently? Maybe at the end of his match with his brother?
