We are back with Tommaso Ciampa and he says that when he went in for surgery he got this necklace from his wife and daughter. You reminded me of my story. I heard what you had to say. Everyone has a lot to say and he has heard it before. He isn't the same he was before surgery or before he became a dad. Is WALTER right? Did he change? Ciampa says in some ways he has. He shifts his mindset and he thinks of the people who continue to believe. To all of his supporters, I hear you and I see you. I feel you and at Takeover, we will remind the world. I will chase that dragon and climb to the top of his mountain and I am going to knock his head off. I know what it is like to be at the top and what it is like to be at the bottom. I have changed, but over the last two years, I have learned that I would rather be a man who fights for something instead of someone with nothing to lose. Do you want to know if the Blackheart lives or if the Psycho Killer lives. You will find out in seven days and I will take that title from you. It is a long fall from the top fo the mountain. He tells WALTER to buckle up.
Finn Balor says he has been expecting Kross for a long time. It was not a matter of if, but when. When the pressure is on, it becomes hard to breathe and the nerves make your legs heavy. Those rules do not apply to him because his stamina is his strength. Finn Balor does not get gassed out. Kross may dictate the pace of the match. The longer the match goes, the farther it goes into deep water and that is where he drowns. There will be no fairy tale ending. In the end, you choke and I stay the NXT Champion.
