Wrestlers were portrayed as villains, heroes or less distinguishable characters in the scripted events that built tension and culminated into a wrestling match or series of matches. Interviews also built up tension (Interviews happened before the 10th, 14th, and 17th matches respectively, with Locker Room Talk (hosted by Gia Miller) happening before the 6th match).
