Follow along with review of the WWE Beast in the East live special.

WWE broadcasted for the first time from Tokyo, Japan with their “Beast in the East” special.

The show will feature a former WWE World Heavyweight Champion, an NXT Championship match and Divas Championship match. 99.9 percent of the time, title bouts at live events don’t result in a change. However, this morning may be an exception with a win by either Finn Balor or Paige.

Despite the title matches, WWE billed this show as “The Beast in the East” special, referring to Brock Lesnar. It was his first non-pay-per-view match in over a decade. He took on Kofi Kingston.
