Someone usually starts a thread on here to talk about the tapings, but I didn't see one yet, so I figured I'd start one as they are doing the tapings at Full Sail tonight.
Based off the Paige news, I'd imagine we'll see the start of the Women's Championship tournament tonight. I'm also curious to see what new faces pop up on this set of tapings.
