We never got to find out who the better team is, though, because the end of the match was ruined by run-ins from Jacy Jayne and Fatal Influence (Fallon Henley &amp; Lainey Reid). The NXT trio beat the hell out of champions and challengers before making their leave.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">WWE cut a large number of wrestlers off the roster earlier tonight, perhaps in part to make room for apparent NXT call-ups like this.<\/p>\n<p class=\"duet--article--dangerously-set-cms-markup duet--article--standard-paragraph _1nfb3k4i _16w9vov1 _16w9vov0 ls9zuh1\">Do you have high hopes for Jayne, Henley, and Reid on the WWE main roster?
