UPDATE: John Pollock is reporting that these were dark matches, not WWE Main Event bouts as originally believed. PWInsider.com has also confirmed this report, noting the matches were scheduled to allow WWE officials to see the new talent in action.
Was told by several people that the matches before Raw in Orlando tonight involving EC3 and Lacey Evans were only dark matches and will not be airing on Main Event this week

WWE taped Main Event before RAW and several NXT stars debuted on the red brand. Now on RAW are EC3 and Lacey Evans. Both were major players in the developmental brand despite not winning any titles.
