Highlights of EC3/Dream

Velveteen Dream crowns Cathy Kelley as his queen and asks her what she's doing this Wednesday then tells her to tune in tonight to find out like everybody else. EC3 tells Mike Rome it was a clash of personalities between Dream and him, Ying & Yang, but Velveteen was the better man on Sat. None of his rivalries are over until he wins that's the top one percent mindset. He was asked about the attack on Black and said the one thing that stands out in his mind is a 6'3, 300 lb monster with a busted jaw in a lime green tap out shirt, Lars Sullivan was right there at the scene of the crime. He also plants the seed it might be him by saying he hopes Rome doesn’t think he’s “Keyser Soze or something, because that would be absurd”

Highlights of Baszler/Sane

Cathy Kelley catches up to The Queen of Spades and her fellow Horsewomen afterwards, and Shayna wants to make it clear Sane didn’t win, she lost. Kairi's skills didn't beat her, Shayna lost. Baszler says she's still the better fighter

Highlights of Gargano/Ciampa III

It ends with Mauro asking about Johnny Gargano’s future after his knee injury, but they don’t even hint at when we’ll get answers

Cathy Kelley interviews General Manager William Regal about his busy office, which includes NXT’s legal team. She asks if this is related to the Aleister Black attack, and he tells her it is. He wants the NXT Universe to know his investigation starts tonight

Johnny Gargano says the fans have always had his back, but he doesn’t deserve that right now. He loves the Johnny Wrestling chants, but he doesn't deserve it right now. He broke a lot of promises to the fans and has made a lot of mistakes lately. He said he would win the NXT Title in Brooklyn and start fixing things, but he didn’t. He lost, he's failed the fans & he thought he could make it right, but he didnt, that's the truth. He doesn’t know where he goes from here. He lost more than a match in Brooklyn, he lost himself. He's done a lot of stupid things lately & he's made a lot of mistake. Gargano doesn’t know how to fix things and make things right & he's broken a lot of promises to the fans and he doesn't know what to do anymore. With everything he's been through he doesn't know what's left because in Brooklyn he became something he’s not proud of and he hatest to say his name, but in Brooklyn he became Tommaso Ciampa. Ciampa's in his head and he can’t get him out & Gargano doesn't know what to do, he doesn't know how to control it anymore, he doesn't know how to feel. Johnny doesn’t know what we want anymore. He can’t get Ciampa out of his head, but he wants him out. He has to be better for us, for Candice, for everybody, but he doesn’t know how to do it!

Out comes Regal. The GM marches to the ring, mic in hand. Regal says he needs to ask Gargano before Aleister Black returns and burns this whole place down, did you attack Aleister? Johnny answers by saying, “you've known me for a very long time, you tell me" Regal says his opinion doesn't matter, he needs to know did Johnny attack Black, Gargano says to look into his eyes, you’ll know his answer”. They lock eyes and...

Velveteen Dream is here!

He’s not in the mood. Dream’s sick of sitting in the back and listening to the same old “Poor Johnny” sob story. It's heart-breaking it really is, but tonight shouldn’t be about Gargano, it certainly shouldn't be about a man who’s not even in the building. Tonight should be about the experience who took over Brooklyn, the trending topic, the Velveteen Dream. It definitely shouldn’t be about “Johnny Failure”.

Dream laughs as Gargano seethes. He says Johnny Failure that's good, the doctor only gave him that crutch just in case to keep the weight off his knee for a few days, but he's good to go. He throws it at Velveteen, but before they can lock up, Regal steps in. He sends Johnny to the back and Dream to his office. If they want to fight, they can have a match... next week!

Nikki Cross is being interviewed, but she keeps spinning in her chair while Regal tries to get her to tell him what she saw then she takes a pen and throws it at the Regal's lawyer. She says she saw who did it, it was beautiful, she saw it all, she knows who did it then asks if they hear the phone ringing (it’s not). She picks it up and says knows a secret while laying on the desk. Bianca Belair storms in and says she’s tired of waiting and tells Cross not to touch her braid. She proved she’s not injured, and deserves a title shot. Nikki wants to play, and wants Mr. Regal to let them. Bianca storms out, saying to come find when he’s done playing with his little pet and makes the right decision. Cross asks the GM if they’re done, and Regal says he still has lots of questions

Raul Mendoza comes out for his match with EC3

It's not EC3 that comes out though it's Lars, Sullivan that says unlike the Aleister Black situation it's not a question of who took out EC3, he did it, because it's simple when Lars name comes out of anyone's mouth he will rip them limb from limb. And as for Raul Mendoza he's standing in Lars Sullivan territory.

Raul with a Springboard, but Lars Headbutts him out of the air and just brutal Crossface Strikes, Pop-Up Powerslam, Freak Accident. This wasn't a match, simply an annihilation

Heavy Machinery are interviewed by General Manager William Regal and his lawyer about the Aleister Black attack. Dozer is freaked out about being under the lights, and breaks down and confesses to clogging the toilet at the Performance Center. He explains exactly how those steaks and weights causes his bowels and his body to get a shakin’ and he can't start it from coming. Tuckey cuts him off, explaining that’s not what this is about. Back on track, Regal thanks them for their footage of the parking lot. They say they saw Tommaso Ciampa near Black after the attack. The GM thanks them and they leave to get a couple of sodas.

Fallout between Ricochet & Dunne at the way their match ended they both say they can beat the other for his title, so Regal makes it official in 2 weeks it will be both UK & North American Championship Match: Title for Title
