WWE NXT REPORT: THERE IS A TAKEOVER ON SUNDAY, TED HAS A GIFT FOR SOMEONE, INDI IS IN AND OUT OF LOVE. . . FOR NOW, POPPY IS HERE, IO IS BACK & MORE

Poppy is in the back with Triple H and William Regal.  Triple H thanks her for all of the tracks she is letting them use.  He asks when does the album drop.  Poppy says it drops right now.  Hunter is amazed that Poppy just pushed a button to release her new album everywhere.

Dexter Lumis shows up and he has a drawing for Poppy.  Poppy hugs Lumis.

Indi shows up and she sees the hug and she storms off.

Hunter says that was a little awkward.

We see the Grimes Rolls Royce arrive at the building as LA Knight's Mercedes pulls up next to Grimes.

Ted's limo driver says that Mr. DiBiase is waiting for both of them in the ring.

Ted DiBiase is in the ring and he stands in front of something.

Ted says he would like for Cameron Grimes and LA Knight to join him in the ring as he makes his announcement.

LA Knight comes out first.

Cameron Grimes interrupts as he makes his entrance.

They both enter the ring.

Ted says on Sunday, it is the ultimate test.  You have proven yourselves worthy.  It is time to literally climb the ladder of success.  A gold ladder comes from the heavens.

LA says it has been abundantly clear that he stands head and shoulders above everyone.  If I have to knock that clown's head off or cllimb that ladder rung by rung, there is no hill I won't climb or hillbilly I won't step on to get that legacy.

Grimes says LA might be right that he is a hillbilly.  Grimes says he is worth a million bucks.  He will look down on LA from the hilltop.  It is not about the money to be the Million Dollar Man, it is what happens between these ropes.  Cameron Grimes cannot be beaten in this ring.  He says he will take that Million Dollar Legacy . . . 

Cameron says as he looks up to the top of the CWC, he does not see what he needs to reach for.  What will be at the top.

Ted has a briefcase brought into the ring.  

Ted says he wants you to know that both of you will fight, crawl, grab, use every fiber of energy and muscle in their body so they can have this . . . 

Ted opens the briefcase to reveal the Million Dollar Belt. 

Whoever wins this ladder match will become the new Million Dollar Champion.

Ted laughs many times as LA and Grimes have words for each other.

We see Kyle O'Reilly and Karrion Kross held back by security and William Regal yells at both of them as we go to commercial.

We are back with Ever Rise Live.

Ciampa and Thatcher throw their chairs at the ring.

Gibson says if it is a scrap you want, it is a scrap you will get.

How about next week, we forget about tag rules and make it tornado rules.

Bobby Fish is training and he tells Oney don't think for a second that I have forgotten you.

Candice LeRae makes her way to the ring.

Candice says she is sick of hearing about Poppy.  You hijacked my interview last week and this week you stole Indi's man.  Everyone knows that they are a thing.  Because of you, Indi has left this building and she is in tears.  You have two options.  You can do it the easy way.  You can come out and apologize.  We can do it the hard way and I can introduce you to the NXT Parking Lot.

Kyle O'Reilly says that the gas station weasel got under his skin last week.  Kyle says that Kross has the thinnest skin.  He can tell by the vein on his forehead and the flexing.  You know it is a matter of time until someone like me takes that title from you.

Adam Cole appears on the GameTron and he says if you think I am coming out there after what happened last week.  Adam calls Kross the biggest moron in the ring.  I beat you last week when I verbally annihilated you last week and you didn't do jack.  I see through you.  The idea of going one on one with me put you in fear.  I don't have to beat you to win.  I can beat Johnny Wrestling Again.  I can beat Pete Dunne again. I can beat the guy who doesn't belong in the match. I could beat you and prove that you don't belong.
