We go to Vic’s interview with Grayson Waller earlier in the day.

Vic asks what has been going through Grayson’s mind over the last seven days.

Waller says he was supposed to save NXT last week.  He couldn’t beat Grayson Waller.  He was everything he thought Bron would be.  He says Bron was as stupid as he thought.  He knew what Bron was going to do.  Grayson says he is not champion not because of Bron, but the thing he could not control. 

Vic talks about the rope falling off.  Grayson says if the 20 idiots did their job, he would be champion.  Since they didn’t do their job, he isn’t champion. 

Vic asks about the jumping knee and he says he thought Waller was going to win.  Waller gives credit to Bron for kicking out.  He was ready to hit the elbow drop off the ropes but the next thing he knows, he hears the referee counting four and five.  Bron was half dead in the ring.  Waller says he is as much a champion as Bron is. 

Waller shows an NXT title belt.

Vic brings up Vengeance Day. 

Waller says most people would not want to be in a steel cage with Bron Breakker but he is not most people.  He says he will pin Bron Breakker.  This is the most important event in NXT history.  Who better to drive the car with NXT on the road than Grayson Waller. 

Waller says no one who ever wrestled in Charlotte can hold a candle to him.  He will become the NXT Champion.

Mark Coffey and Wolfgang walk in the back. 

Wolfgang says they will beat Brooks and Josh and then they will beat every other team.

Josh Briggs says there won’t be any free wins and it won’t happen tonight.

We go to commercial.
