Last week, it was Takeover: Fatal Four Way. We saw new champions, but did you think it would have been the longest reigning champions who lost the titles? We also saw Marcus Louis without his hair, despite not being in the match. We found out that KENTA would be known as Hideo Itami. Charlotte retained her Women’s Title against Bayley. Adrian Neville was able to fight off three men to retain the NXT Title, but some might say that Neville used questionable tactics to retain the title.
We are in Winter Park, Florida and your announcers are Rich Brennan, Renee Young, and Alex Riley.
Titus O’Neil makes his way to the ring as he returns to NXT. Titus says it is an honor and a privilege for all of you to be in the presence of Titus O’Neil, an actual WWE Superstar. A few weeks ago Sami Zayn, Tyler Breeze, and Adrian Neville came on his show, Monday Night Raw. Titus says that he would return the favor and take up some of y’all’s time.
Titus says that he is going to hold up this show and may even go to sleep here. Titus says that he had an another announcement. This show will now be called NXTitus.
Sami Zayn comes out and he has something to say.
Sami tells everyone to give it up for Titus O’Neil and then he barks. Sami says that he is glad that Titus is here. He is filling a giant void. Titus is a giant buffoon who could not win a match. Sami tells Titus that while he is getting beaten up by bunnies, they are here in NXT, stealing the show.
Titus asks Sami if he steals this show by giving him the beating of a lifetime.
Adrian Neville’s music plays and he makes his way to the ring.
Adrian tells Sami that with all due respect, if Titus O’Neil or anyone wants to come to NXT and disrespect this place, it is him who will stand up to defend it.
Sami asks if only Adrian can defend NXT because he is the champion.
Tyson Kidd makes his way to the ring. He tells everyone to relax. Titus has a point. They are both losers. The difference is that Adrian is the NXT Champion and Sami is not. Sami might be a little disappointed in how Adrian retained the title at Takeover and Tyson is a little disappointed so he feels his pain. He tells Sami to switch roles and act like he is the NXT Champion. Wouldn’t you do anything to retain the title?
Sami says that he is not mad at Adrian for what he did, but from a moral standpoint, he probably wouldn’t have done it.
Adrian tells Sami that is why he will never be the NXT champion.
Titus re-enters the conversation and he says that he doesn’t care about either of you losers. He is here to make a statement and a statement, he will make.
Before he can make that statement, William Regal comes out in his role as NXT General Manager. He says that this is a fighting show, not a whining show. He suggests that they get to fighting. It would be best for business if the NXT Universe got to see all four of them fight tonight. Titus will be able to make a statement and he will be teaming with Tyson Kidd against Sami Zayn and Adrian Neville.
