Bron Breakker enters the interview area and walks past and demands his music.

Duke is not happy.

NXT Men's Champion Bron Breakker walks to the ring.

Bron says the last time you saw him, Joe Gacy dumped him in a field like a piece of trash.  Now he wants him to join him.  Joe has two people who do everything he tells them to do.  He tells Joe that after they have all been through, he can kiss his ass.  He should have finished the job in the field.  I am going to put you unconscious.

Bron says he does not trust Bron and he is ready for whatever plans he has for him.  He tells Gacy to come to the ring.

Joe says that Bron is so predictable.  When you are engulfed in your rage, you become predictable.  I can envision the violence you are going to cause but our journey is not yet over.  You rejected the opportunity of a lifetime to join him.  Gacy says he does not hold a grudge and he will give Bron and the people what they want.  You and me, one on one.

Bron says he is on.

Gacy says they should up the stakes because of what I did to your father and your family's legacy.  I played with your mind and abducted you and left you alone in the wilderness.  You should kick my ass around the arena and inflict pain on my like never before.  You can lose control, but if you lose control, then you lose your most prized possession.  At In Your House, if you get disqualified, you will lose the NXT Championship.  How bad do you want it?  It is up to you.

Bron tells Joe he is on.
