The occasion was held on the legendary Greensboro Coliseum. Below are some highlights (through Fightful):
Dani Dinino on how the face paint was a last-minute thought: “Those guys actually got here to me like half-hour earlier than they have been going out on stage. Sting at all times does his personal paint. Sting is the one wrestler, going into working this job, he’s the one wrestler who I knew about. When he’s come for paint, particularly at first, that one made me nervous. That’s the one one I’ve been tremendous nervous to do. That’s the factor with Sting, as a result of he often does his personal seems to be, it’s at all times very…I’ve carried out him a couple of occasions and it’s been final minute. ‘If Dani has time, let me bounce within the chair and we’ll have her do that.’ He’s sort of the sort the place, if not, he’ll do it himself. They got here in, it was possibly an hour earlier than the match, and he was like, ‘I need this’ and he introduced me in a printout of the fist and lightning bolt. ‘I need this and I need you to place it on my brow.’ I checked out him like, ‘Are you positive?’ ‘Yeah, that is what I need.’ I used to be so nervous on that one. He could be very explicit about his seems to be.”
Dinino on Punk’s look: “I’ve discovered with him, let me hand him the mirror and have him test it as I’m going. When you do your self that always, they get very used to how they like their stuff, and I get that. On that one, I actually minimize it out and taped it to his face first so he might see the place I used to be going to do it, and had him ‘okay’ it. Then, I simply went for it. Everyone loves that one, which I didn’t know if it was going to be successful or a miss, however everybody cherished it and they turned it right into a toy. Punk’s look, he got here in and had the photograph of Sting that he needed me to repeat and then needed me to do the Chicago colours. Both of them are such icons that it was very nerve-racking to do their paint. The guys don’t like to take a seat there lengthy, both. I get it, I’m not one who likes to remain and get stuff carried out both, however they’re very very similar to, ‘Okay, that is ok, we’re going to go,’ and I’m like, ‘No, I want to repair this.’ They are extraordinarily common and going to be on TV and if it’s tousled, it’s my fault. It was nerve-racking, however lots of people preferred that look lots, so I’m glad I received good opinions.”
