We see video highlighting what happened at last week's NXT Takeover.
We see the usual intro, then the music of Titus O'Neil hits as he makes his way to the ring. Titus grabs a mic and says its a honor and a priveilge for all of the NXT Universe to be in the presence of me, Titus O'Neil, an actual WWE superstar. A few weeks ago, Sami Zayn, Tyler Breeze & Adrian Neville, they wanted to come on my show of RAW, so I figured I'd return the favor and come hang out and take some of y'all's time. So, I'll just sit here, I'll hold this show up, I might even go to sleep out here. I had another announcement to make, from now on, this show will be called NXTitus.
Sami Zayn's music hits and he makes his way to the ring. "OLE" chant for Zayn by the crowd. Zayn has a mic and says and mocks Titus's seal call. Zayn says he is so glad you're here, because he is really filling a giant void that we need here in NXT, which is a giant buffoon that couldn't win a match to save his life. Newsflash, while you're busy getting beaten up by bunnies, we're here in NXT stealing the show. "NXT" chants by the crowd.
Titus says how about he steals this show by giving you the beating of a lifetime?
NXT Champion Adrian Neville's music hits and he makes his way to the ring. Neville has a mic and tells Zayn that with all due respect, if Titus O'Neil wants to come here, in fact, if anybody wants to come here to NXT and disrespect this place, well, its gonna be me that stands up to defend it.
Zayn says to Neville that wait, only Neville can defend NXT because you're the NXT Champion?
The music of Tyson Kidd hits as he makes his way to the ring. Kidd has a mic and says to everyone to relax. Titus has a point, Neville & Zayn are losers. The difference is that Neville is the NXT Champion and Zayn, you're not, FACT! Now Zayn, I understand that you're a little disappointed in Neville and how he retained his NXT Title at Takeover and to be perfectly honest, so am I, I'm a little disappointed, so I feel your pain, I really do, FACT! Zayn, switch roles, put yourself in Neville's shoes, pretend you're the NXT Champion, wouldn't you do whatever it takes to retain that title?
Zayn says he's not mad at Neville for what he did at Takeover, he did what he had to do. I'm just saying from a moral standpoint, I don't think I would have done the same thing.
Neville says to Zayn that is why he will never be the NXT Champion.
Titus says excuse me, friends, foes, whatever you might me, I could care less about either one of you losers, I'm here to make a statement and a statement I will make.
The music of William Regal hits as the NXT GM makes his way onto the rampway. Regal says to everyone that this is a fighting show, not a whining show. So, I suggest we somehow get to fighting. Now as GM, I think what would definitely be best for business for the NXT Universe is if they got to see all 4 of you men compete tonight. Titus, I like your initative and yes, you will get to make your statement tonight because you will be teaming with Tyson Kidd and you will be facing the team of Sami Zayn and the NXT Champion, Adrian Neville. That will be our main event. All 4 men stare each other down as Regal leaves.
We see video from last week's NXT Takeover with the debut of Hideo Itami and his dealings with the former NXT Tag Champions, the Ascension.
