One Thousand Three Hundred Thirty days ago, I made my first appearance at the Performance Center. She was a fan of the Black and Gold brand. She talks about women who made this championship one of the most important titles in NXT. She says no one thought she would win this title. People doubted her until she found The Way. A family with Johnny, Candice, Austin, and Dexter. She formed a bond with them, and with you guys. She says she got married in this ring in a WWE wedding with no interruptions. She says she cannot believe being at the top of the ladder to win this title. A lot of people say they want to be a fighting champion and you don't often get a chance to prove it.
Indi says she had a high ankle sprain and was about to be taken out of the match but she got back into the ring because she wasn't going to let her title reign end on a medical table. Indi mentions being drafted to Raw. She says it has been a few days and she cannot believe it. She says her new home will be Raw on Monday. Right now, when she was 23, the most important thing is the NXT Women's Title. She says next week, a tournament will start to crown a new champion with the finals at Battleground.
She wishes the ladies luck. She says don't cry because it is over, smile because it happened.
