WWE NXT REPORT: TWO TITLE MATCHES, YOUR NUMBER ONE CONTENDER IS ANNOUNCED, REMEMBERING THE MAE YOUNG CLASSIC FOR A FEUD, AND MORE

We are back and Adam Cole is in the ring.  He says two years ago he became NXT Champion.  Whether they want to admit it or not, you are looking at the real number one contender.  I have been gone for two months and for two months, I watched as everyone tried to live up to my legacy and surprise, they failed.  I just took out three of NXT's top stars in one night.  Adam Cole wants the NXT Championship back.  This brings me to you, Karrion Kross.  People think you are a monster but I see right through you.  You are nothing more than an overrated musckle head who doesn't belong in the ring with me.  Do you think it was a mistake I held the NXT CHampionship for 403 days?

Karrion Kross and Scarlett make their way to the ring.

Kross calls Cole 'Little Man' and he says he understands Cole's reasons for getting involved in the title picture.  No matter what you do, it won't change things in the grand scheme.  When I signed here, you no longer became special.  We can talk about it out here.  He wants Cole to tell a story and entertain him.

Cole tells Mr. Overrated he will.  He says that Kross is not Adam Cole and you never will be.  NXT did everything to make you special.  They gave you the music, the smoke machine, and the girl.  To make me feel special, they ring the bell.  You are not on my level and anyone who watches wrestling knows that.  You are just a guy who has his property.  

William Regal shows up and he says this will not work for Adam Cole.

Kross tells Regal to shut up and he says he does not care what you think.  What I want at Takeover is all of them.  Give me O'Reilly, Gargano, Dunne, and this gas station attendant.

Cole leaves the ring and adjusts the announce table and he says he runs this place.

Cole throws a water bottle at Kross and then he leaves through the crowd.
