While most WWE fans were watching Roadblock to see if Roxanne Perez could overcome Meiko Satimora to remain NXT Women’s Champion – *spoiler alert* she did, even if it resulted in a trip to the hospital after the show – Liv Morgan was at a New York Knicks game to help promote the upcoming Road […]

Tony D’Angelo and Dijak do not like each other.
