WWE NXT REPORT: DID THE STREAK END?, WE HAVE A FIFTH MATCH FOR WAR GAMES, WE HAVE A FOURTH MEMBER OF SHOTZI'S TEAM, AND MORE

We are back and Pat McAfee makes his way to the ring followed by Pete Dunne, Danny Burch, and Oney Lorcan.

Pat says he has the utmost respect for Pat Patterson and for what he did for this business.  On the opposite end of the respect spectrum, he mentions everyone in the crowd and the Undisputed Era.  Earlier this evening, we were forced to watch a night out with the Undisputed Era.  Pat says it was the lamest night out on the town he has ever seen.  He says they were talking and reflecting as nostalgia was running wild.  

Pat suggests they bring up nostalgia.  Pat says this team was put together by money, lots of money.  You have to invest in greatness and he did with these three men.  That doesn't include the Mercedes he got for the guy who isn't even here.  We have run this place since we got here.  This Sunday, at War Games, it is about Pete Dunne, the Longest Reigning UK Champion of all time.  A man who ended careers.  A man who had a little assistance from a masked man who was not him, beat the hell out of Kyle O'Reilly for the advantage at War Games.  Sunday is about two main eventers, 30 years of combined experience getting a chance to seize the spotlight and main event the biggest pay per view in history.  They will not squander a moment of it.  There is no fear of the Undisputed Era.

Pat says he wants you to envision yourself as a member of the Undisputed Era.  I want you to feel every kick in the mouth he gives Adam Cole.  He wants you to feel every punch and when you are sent into the cage, thrown through tables and whatever else happens.  I want you to feel it.  You want to see me ripped limb from limb and get mine.  I have three badasses with me.  The Boy broke the Undisputed Era's spirit and Pete says the end the Undisputed Era on Sunday.
