Cora Jade walks in the back.
We are back with Tiffany Stratton complaining about having to be in the battle royal. She says she is the only one deserving a title match. Enjoy your life under a rock while I win the battle royal and become the new NXT Women's Champion.
Cora Jade makes her way to the ring.
Cora says the first thing you need to do is shut up if you want to hear what I have to say. Last week, I stabbed my best friend in the back and I should have done it sooner. I have been the face of the Women's division. You appointed me the next break out star. Do you remember War Games when I jumped off the cage? You were saying that I was a star and had a bright future. What did I do? I brought my best friend along for the ride. I get Roxanne in the door and from day one, your guy's attention went from me to Roxanne. Suddenly, Roxanne is the next breakout star. Everything is great and is going to be perfect. After how many failed attempts, I found the perfect partner. I finally become a champion with my best friend at the Great American Bash.
We are on top of the world and we are going to be champions forever. Thirty minutes later, Roxanne decides she wants to cash in her contract. What were you thinking? I wanted to make these the most important titles in NXT. If you are chanting for Roxanne, you can go to hell. I knew our friendship was a lie. She used me to get to NXT. Roxanne is a selfish bitch. It's the truth. Do you know while she was in her own delusional world, she didn't see who attacked her last week. It was me. The plan was going to work out perfectly. Mandy wasn't ready for me and I would have won the title. But Roxanne had to come out and ruin my moment.
That is why it felt so damn good when I hit her in the back. Your face was like a poor little puppy dog. Your look was priceless. Roxanne will not be here because she is not cleared. Not one woman in that locker room will stand in the way of me winning the battle royal.
As for the Tag title belt . . . all this title represents to me is a lie. This title isn't worth a damn thing to me. This marks the end of naive Cora Jade. This is the start of the true Generation of Jade because i am wired a different way.
Cora drops the tag title belt in the trash can.
McKenzie is in the back with Xyon Quinn. Xyon says good for Cora because this is a me business, not a we business. McKenzie asks Quinn about attacking Crews last week. He says Crews didn't see it coming and he gets a match against Crews next week. He does not care about Crews. Crews couldn't cut it in the big leagues. Not everyone has the X Factor like him. Next week, the X Factor will be on full display.
Indi Hartwell says growing pains come with the territory. She is looking for the right thing. You cannot trust anyone in this division. It is every woman for themselves. Only one can win and it will be her.
