We are back and we go to the ring where Schism is sitting at a table with a seat for Elijah.
Joe says that autumn is when trees shed their leaves and the Schism let go of their issues. They celebrate a day of giving thanks.
Ava says stories are told of families being torn apart by Thanksgiving despite the American traditions of spending time with families, dysfunction is the norm. The Schism can be counted on.
Rip says a day for being grateful that you have enough to feed yourself on the darkest of times has resulted in overabundance. The holiday is a far cry from its intent.
Jagger says that more care about Black Friday deals so you can forego Thanksgiving to get the hot new item when you should focus on your belief system.
Ava brings someone to the ring and Joe says their table is bare for new opportunities to forge new traditions. We will christen a new holiday and you will be the bridge to the old traditions we leave behind to the new ones we will forge for everlasting traditions. Joe says his inclusion will be the centerpiece of their dinner table. Joe asks him to stand up to celebrate Schism Invictus.

We see him getting on his boat. He says this is where he likes to go after his matches. Out here he says he is just a fisherman. He likes how quiet it is. Being the NXT champion comes with a lot of weight and he loves it. It does take a toll after a while. At first, you feel like Superman. As time goes on, there is more weight and pressure. That is why I come out here. As it gets colder and winter comes in, the fish get slower and less active. That forces him to broaden his bait choices to get a reaction out of the fish. This is his escape. This is where he drops all of that weight. When he goes back to shore, he has competitors coming at him from all angles.
Apollo Crews is next. When one challenge ends, another one begins. The weight goes back on in three weeks. After I retain my title, you know where you can find him.
