– Reddit.com user MetsFan4Ever, a former WWE backstage worker, offered insight into the atmosphere backstage at the Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland, Ohio for tonight’s WWE Tables, Ladders and Chairs … and Stairs event following NXT: R Evolution.
He wrote, “I’m told tensions are at a fever pitch and have been all day. Many guys on the card tonight want to go out of their way to be the match of the night. The feeling is that a small company rivalry has started between the main roster and the NXT roster. Many agree that is good for all sides involved.
“What is usually a lighter atmosphere many hours before doors open is not the case today. I’m told that it is very quiet backstage and that talent is very focused on the show tonight. They know the NXT show is going to be considered “show of the year” among many and they want this TLC show to rival or top it.
“Many of the main matches have already been rehearsed. There was a giant black curtain covering the ringside area so nobody outside of the main players know what is going to happen tonight.”
