Regal mentions how Johnny Gargano has antagonized Karrion Kross.  Regal wants Kross and Gargano to come to the ring.

Johnny Gargano is first to the ring and then he is followed to the ring by WWE NXT Men's Champion Karrion Kross.

Gargano says that Kross Suuuuuuuuuucks.  He says he has been living rent free in your head for weeks and there is a lot of room up there.  You showed why you are not in my league and that is why you tried to hit me with your car.  

William Regal says next week, Johnny Gargano will face Karrion Kross for the NXT Championship.

Kross asks Garagno if he thinks he is afraid of you.  Kross says he didn't try to run over Gargano, Gargano was in the way.  I have a size advantage over you.  I have better convictions than you.  Never lose the NXT Championship, main event Wrestlemania, and become WWE Champion.  What do you do Johnny?  :Put on a pair of your wife's jeans?  You think you are going to win the match by putting on some technical moves.  This isn't a movie.  This ia real life.  You get the living daylights beaten out of you.  Next week will be like all others.

Regal says that Samoa Joe will be the guest referee next week.

Gargano loves that Joe is the referee.  Gargano tells Kross it is funny you mention my wife's pants because you couldn't lace my wife's boots.
