Tech Times wrote that three game developers shared a new video, featuring them playing a Triple Threat TLC (Tables, Ladders and Chairs) match. They played Sheamus, Neville and Kevin Owens. The short video showcased the enhanced graphics of the upcoming game, as well as the different wrestling styles of the characters. At one point, Neville went on top of the turnbuckle and jumped off with a moonsault against Sheamus. Owens executed a piledriver on Sheamus, while the latter later on performed his White Noise and Brogue Kick. In the end, Neville's signature Red Arrow corkscrew shooting star press was enough to garner the win. Overall, it was a great battle that presented the fluidity of the upcoming game.
