– Je’Von Evans runs into The High Ryze in the backstage area. Je’Von says that High Ryze allowed Trick Williams to go out there, wearing that goofy ass outfit, only to not have his back against The Undertaker last week. Je’Von eavesdrop on a teaching lesson from Chase U. Mr. Chase wants Kale Dixon and Uriah Connors to go after the big dogs. Je’Von is taking that same exact advice he got from The Undertaker last week.

Je’Von Evans, Trick Williams, Wes Lee Segment 

Je’Von Evans: Damn! Yerp! I ain’t gonna lie, last week, last week was crazy as hell, you know what I mean. Houston was on fire. The Young OG met The Undertaker. We’re talking about a legend, we’re talking about a Hall Of Famer. And this Hall Of Famer gave me some legendary advice, saying that I should go after the biggest dog in the yard. Well, guess what, gang? The Young OG is in the ring, solo/dolo, so we might as well do it. What’s up?

Trick Williams: Woof, woof. The biggest dog has finally arrived. Hey, look, Je’Von, I know you’re on your high horse. I know you’ve been talking to The Deadman and everything like that, but let give you some advice, dog. Three things you shouldn’t do, pull Superman’s cape, try Trick Williams, or try the biggest box office draw in NXT or TNA has to offer, which happens to be Trick Williams. Now, look here, dog, we’ve done this dance before, and we know how that turned out the last time. And the crazy thing about it is, Trick Williams is higher now than ever, so I suggest you mind your business while grown folk talking.

Je’Von Evans: Trick, Trick, Trick, bro, slow down. You’re coming out here with all this big dog energy, knowing damn that well you just got your ass Chokeslammed last week by Undertaker, right back to hell. What you talking about?

Trick Williams: Hold on, hold on, cause that’s crazy, because I didn’t deserve that right there, Je’Von. But you’re right, I did get slammed by The Undertaker, but the fact still remains, I’m still the TNA Champion. Hold on, I’m still the biggest thing in NXT. Hold on, I’m still the biggest thing in TNA. Hold on, the biggest thing you could do wrong is try Trick Williams, let’s talk about that.

Je’Von Evans: Oh, oh, okay. My bad, my bad. I wasn’t even talking about your ass, gang, I was actually talking about the NXT Champion, Oba Femi.

Trick Williams: Okay, hold on, hold on, because there you go disrespecting me again, that’s cool. You could be talking about Oba Femi, but the truth is, Oba Femi wishes he was Trick Willy, let’s talk about that. Because we all saw him last week, he had lust in his eyes, he wishes he had this title I have on my shoulder, let’s talk about it. And since he wants it so bad, I’m going to take what he has, and make myself a 2X Champion. Watch out, Jacy Jayne, Trick Willy coming to the top, right next to you, taking over both brands.

Je’Von Evans: And that’s where we have a problem, because if you get in my way of the NXT Championship, I have no problem erasing your ass from the equation, and that’s facts.

Wes Lee: Hey, yo, Trick, don’t you dare let that young whipper snapper get under your skin like this. And as crazy as it is for me to say this, Je’Von, you’re right, dog. You should be calling out Oba Femi, but Trick Williams is on a whole different level than you, dog.

Trick Williams: Let’s talk about it.

Wes Lee: Now, you see, Undertaker gave the right advice, but he unfortunately gave it to the wrong person. See, you don’t quite understand what it takes to be a champion just yet. Some people have a very special connection with the WWE Universe. They leave the crowd captivated, every night, but often times they leave themselves empty handed. Now, these are just straight facts, coming from the greatest North American Champion, ever. And a 3X World Champion. Now, you’re going to have a great journey towards the championship, but unfortunately it is a long, long ways away. You’re definitely not gonna get close to Trick Williams, because The High Ryze is going to stop you dead in your tracks.

Je’Von Evans: Alright, alright, alright, I see where this is going. Well, if I’m gonna start, I’m gonna start tonight. And I’m gonna start with Wes, and I’m gonna go out a fighrer.

Je’Von punches Wes Lee. High Ryze and Williams gangs up on Evans. Lee delivers The Kardiak Kick.

Wes Lee: Hey, yo, I’m gonna go and talk to AVA and get this thing popping, so I could leave your ass laying, one more time.

Santino reminds Trick that he has the power at TNA. He’s not here tonight as director of authority at TNA, he’s a WWE Superstar, and he’s here to save North America from Ethan Page. Santino tells Trick to not get comfortable with that TNA World Championship, because it’s coming home soon.

Blake Monroe, Lola Vice, Jaida Parker, Kelani Jordan Segment 

Blake Monroe: Booker T, darling, the name is Blake Monroe, so learn it, love it, and don’t ever do that it again, unless you want to end up in a medical facility like Jordynne Grace. Now, to the question everyone has been asking, why Jordynne Grace? But the answer is so simple, Jordynne isn’t good enough. And that’s a feeling I’m sure most of you know, but I’ve seen protein shakes with more personality than JG. She’s just not a superstar, she’s more of a background player or a some might say, an extra. Yikes, but let’s get serious, this is the deepest division in women’s wrestling, and you can’t have a champion who looks like this.

Now, I know what you’re all thinking, I get it, I get it, Blake, Jordynne, she’s transformed herself, but I know when she’s alone, and she looks in the mirror, she doesn’t see a juggernaut, she’s that photo, and that is not championship material, that’s gym membership material. But this, this is what you call star power, this is what you build a brand around. WWE knew about me before I even decided to wrestle, and I was influencing all of you to buy t-shirts, and going viral, just looking like this. Oh, delicious, because when you look this good, you don’t need to change a thing. So, I’m not here to play nice, I’m here this brand revolves around. So, you all can feel bad for JG, because she’s your little underdog. She can bench press 300 pounds, but she can’t carry a Women’s Division.

Lola Vice: Blake, can you do us all a favor, and shut the hell up? I don’t understand how you can be so beautiful, but so ugly inside, man. You know what, you’re right, we do have the deepest women’s division, and you’re not going to be champ of it. You want to talk about star power? Star power to me is flying across the world to represent WWE in AAA, not taking selfies backstage. Star power is creating viral moments, like I did dancing with Hall Of Famer Nikki Bella at Evolution. So, if there’s anyone, and I mean anyone.

Jaida Parker: Hold on, hold on. No, baby, ain’t nobody trying to see all of that, I promise you. It’s crazy to me, because all I keep hearing is, Evolution this, viral moment that. Y’all love talking about your little moments, about somebody that made you relevant. I don’t need any of that, baby, I don’t need no Bella Twin, I don’t need no betrayal, and I damn sure don’t need anybody else to make any type of noise. I am Jaida Parker, understand that. Y’all saw what I did to Jazmyn Nyx earlier, I’m not chasing clout, I’m chasing that NXT Women’s Championship.

Blake Monroe: Oh, dear. I had so much hope for the both of you, but you’re just gonna be little JG Juniors, aren’t you.

– Jordynne Grace music hits, but Kelani Jordan comes out instead.

Kelani Jordan: Oops, my bad, I guess I’m not the Jordynne you were looking for. Well, always expect the unexpected here in NXT. Look, at Evolution, it was amazing, NXT represented. But I’m not here to talk about the past, I’m here to talk about the future. And you can’t talk about the future without talking about Kelani Jordan. But for some reason, Blake, you think you’re the hottest signee in sports entertainment, so how you prove it against a former champion? But the truth is, Blake, even on your best, you can’t do it like Lani.

Blake Monroe: That’s cute, Kelani finally got a personality. How about next week, I put you with Jordynne Grace in a medical facility?

Blake HeadButts Jordan. All hell start breaking loose in Winter Park. Jordan dropkicks Blake to the floor. Jordan and Vice stands tall in the ring to close this segment.

– Tatum Paxley tells Izzi Dame that she doesn’t want to get ahead of herself, but she wants to face Sol Ruca for the NXT Women’s North American Championship. Izzi reminds Tatum that you have to pin a champion in order to get a title shot. Shawn Spears says that Paxley has been a great asset to The Culling. Because of her big victory last week, Paxley will get a shot for the North American Championship next week. Izzi says that Sol Ruca got lucky at The Great American Bash, but Paxley will have The Culling in her corner next week to make sure she brings the title home. Paxley is on cloud nine.
