Bron says he respects Santos, but he will beat Santos next week and there isn't a thing he can do about it. Bron says they know how these things go so why not flip over the table and start fighting right now.
Santos laughs and he says he wouldn't expect an answer other than that from someone so young and naive. When I say things are done on my time, it means I pull all the strings and I have everything under control. You don't even realize. While people like Paul Heyman are calling you the future of the industry, I am already planning ways to end your career.

Bron says he is the NXT Champion and I am the reason you are down here. I will handle you after I am done handling him.
Dolph says that is an amateur hour thing. You are looking past your opponent for me. Dolph runs through things he has done in WWE. He says he is aware that every hundred matches, ninety-nine don't go the right way but we know what I can do. He says there is one title he has never won, the NXT Championship.
Dolph says the best part is that I don't have to be better than you or smarter than you. All I have to do is be in your head and with the littlest thumb to the eye . . .
Tommaso Ciampa makes his way to the ring.
What a moment to have Dolph Ziggler in the ring. Dolph Ziggler as NXT champion is a hard pass. Ciampa sits down next to Ziggler and he asks if he can call him kid. He says he loves Dolph's spirit but if you are going to walk into my home.
Escobar remembers that he is in a title match and he asks Ciampa if he is now best friends with Breakker because you want the title back? Why are you here Dolph? When I become the new NXT Champion, I am going to handle you (points at Ziggler) and he will handle you (as he points at Ciampa)
Ciampa says he is next in line unless this kid has a problem with it.
Ziggler says this is your home. Ziggler says the same few hundred Florida people come out and clap like seals week in and week out no matter what you do. You think this is your home. When does it end? When does the helmet and elbow pads come off?
Ciampa punches Ziggler and Ziggler and Ciampa exchange punches on the floor.

We go to a video for Cameron Grimes. He says he comes from humble beginnings. No one has taken more body blows or had to adapt or grow more in NXT than him. Through everything, he came out the other side a self made man. The big house, the fancy cars, and the money in the bank. He has everything except what he came into the business for. He would give it all away and return to the trailer park if he could have that title on his mantle. The North American Championship against Carmelo Hayes. There are two ways your career can go.
