NO ONE WILL SURVIVE!

The Champ makes his way to the ring. Tommaso Ciampa tells the belt he loves it amidst a sea of boos, then calls for a mic. He puts over his entrance music as the greatest of all-time, for the greatest sports entertainer of all-time. It brought silence to the sheep, but in every flock there's always one that tries to break away from the pack, one that craves attention, one that needs to be different. In this case, that one is the Velveteen Dream. Ciampa tells Dream he has the champ’s attention, but he’s gone about it the wrong way when he starts pointing fingers, making accusations, sticking his nose in things that are none of his business.

That brings out the Dream, who finds all of this extremely amusing... especially the part where Ciampa claims to be the greatest sports entertainer of all-time. Really? No, no. Dream doesn’t appreciate the threats coming from the champ either. Dream says he can only assume The Champ speaks like that because he believes he's a bad, bad man doesn't he. The Dream believes the championship deserves a true experience & not a guilt trip from an angry little bald man hiding behind his insecurities.

Tommaso says he may be an angry little bald man, but he’s one with a shiny, shiny, oh so shiny title belt. He gets it, Velveteen wants what the champ has - he wants the main event, he wants the spotlight, he wants Ciampa's NXT Title. He doesn’t even think Dream believes himself when he accused Ciampa of attacking Aleister Black. Velveteen Dream just wants attention. He says everyone is watching so why doesn't Dream just admit it. The title (not Ciampa, mind you) wonders if maybe Velveteen Dream isn’t “tough enough”? Dream says not only is he tough enough, Dream is man enough, he’s more man than Tommaso can handle. And if he wants to find out, all he has to do is give Velveteen moment with him and the belt.

Before Ciampa can answer, Nikk Cross’ music hits! She charges the ring and plays with the tassles on Dream’s jacket and tries to touch the belt. She tells Dream she knows a secret, then puts her hand in his face. He thinks about hitting her, but she backs off and goes to the champ. He pulls the belt back and she knocks the mic from his hand. She gets down on the ground and says “I know what you did too” into it. She chases Dream off, then kicks the mic away from Ciampa before rolling out and dancing her way up the ramp saying she knows, she knows. Ciampa clutches his belt and looks concerned as the segment ends.

An interviewer catches up with General Manager William Regal. He’s asked about Ciampa and Dream accusing each other, and he’s not willing to give any information about the list of remaining suspects. He knows he needs answers and Nikki says she has them, so, but before he can finish

Kassius Ohno is waiting outside of Regal’s office. He wants an update on what they talked about last time, to let him knowa when the GM’s shiny new toy arrives. Kassius asks where is he, when's he going to show his face again. Regal doesn’t answer him, he says Regal's absolutely blind, he doesn't know what Kassius is about, he doesn't know who took out Aleister & the GM’s “BRO-mance” maybe isn't the competitor that Regal thinks he is or maybe he's the one that took out Black. Regal heads into his office without giving KO what he wants, and Cross walks up to tell Kassius that she knows what he did, too

Undisputed ERA are here! All four men are here and Cole gets a mic. He tells us that just in case we’ve been living under a rock, Bobby Fish is back and the ERA is at 100%. Consider this a warning for the NXT locker room, and if you don’t believe that, ask War Raiders, 2 of the biggest & baddest men & the ERA demolished them. For the record if anyone wants to get in their way, they won’t be in their way for long the ERA will make short work of them like they do everybody else because they're going to get people fear this place, they're going to get people to fear NXT. He tells the fans they’re not NXT. The ERA is NXT. That brings him to Ricochet, a man who has his property. He points out that in the Triple Threat, the North American champ pinned Pete Dunne, not him, because he couldn't, he can't & he won't. And when he gets his rematch he'll

I AM IN THE TOP ONE PERCENT

EC3 comes out & he's got a mic. He’s here to impart some knowledge on Cole that his “three yes men” won’t tell him. Adam doesn’t deserve a rematch. Cole says excuse him, and asks if EC3 really thinks it's a smart idea to come out & mess with the ERA right now. EC3 he understands Cole was not pinned, but he did not win & there the ERA stands full of gusto, the boys are back in town, ERA is 100% it it matters not because he's The Top One Percent. Cole tells him to shut up & if he's so big and bad how about they get a ref out there right now & for the NXT locker room he'll make an example out of EC3, and EC3 says “summon a referee we shall”. An official runs in and its on!
