10 “Say What?” moments from NXT Takeover: Toronto

#2 - Ellering in a shark cage

Could the Authors of Pain win without Ellering at ringside?

In what was some very ‘old school’ booking from WWE, Paul Ellering would be suspended above the ring in a shark cage during the finals of the ‘Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic’.

This was due to Ellering interfering in the Authors of Pain’s matches in recent weeks, so this extreme course of action was taken by NXT General Manager, William Regal, in an attempt to maintain the integrity of the tournament.

It was certainly something the new generation of fans are not used to seeing, but would this decision have a deciding effect on the match between the Authors of Pain and TM-61?
