There was a live Abraham Washington Show (with Aksana again) featuring former FCW tag champs Joe Hennig & Brett DiBiase.

Notes About The Show:
 
The FCW Arena packed out to the point that they had to bring out dozens of extra chairs to accommodate ticket buyers
 
Jamie Keyes, once again, did a great job as the ring announcer for the evening.
 
Byron Saxton was the play-by-play announcer for all 3 shows and Hall Of Famer “The American Dream” Dusty Rhodes returned to the role of color commentator.
 
Once again, the Uso’s and Hunico & Tito Nieves continue have faced paced, strong, high flying matches with each other.
 
The Hennig/DiBiase saga is the FCW fued of the year so far as the crowd was hot as they produced an intensity level that had the crowd chanting “FCW” and “that was awesome” during the high spots of their brawl.
 
The week 3 six man tag match was the first time both of FCW’s 7 foot plus giants were in the same match at the FCW Arena. However, the course of the match seemed to keep them from facing off against each other.
 
Rostered talent noticeably absent from the show included Alberto Banderas (on the WWE European tour as Dos Caras Jr), Cable Jones (injured), Caylen Croft, Darren Young, David Otunga, Heath Slater, Justin Gabriel, Kaval, Liviana, Michael Tarver, Richie Steamboat (injured), Rosa Mendes, Skip Sheffield, Trent Baretta, Tyler Reks, Vance Archer, & Wade Barrett.
 
This was the first FCW TV taping since the inception of NXT to NOT use any of the NXT rookies. The depth of the FCW roster translates to the depth of the WWE’s future.
 
Long time FCW Diva Courtney Taylor (Beverly Mullins) was removed from the FCWwrestling.com online roster this week.
