By Richard Trionfo on 2023-10-10 22:08:00

Your announcers are Vic Joseph and Booker T.

Cody Rhodes makes his way to the ring.

Cody 'yeets' and then asks what do you want to talk about.

Cody says he would be lying if he said he thought he would be standing in this ring, but now that he is, something feels right.  It is the Rhodes, it is Florida.  They have spilled blood all over this state.  In the vein of gratitude, he wants to cut to the announcement.  Cody says he has announcements.  He says we have been enjoying the Women's Breakout Tournament.  Who will be the next Tiffany Stratton or Rhea Ripley?  He says the men will have a Breakout Tournament when the women's one is over.  Cody says he heard people talking about a certain tag team tournament.

The crowd chants for Dusty and Cody says it sounds like you want it.

Cody says the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic is coming back.  

Cody says he has one more announcement.  On the biggest night in NXT history, Cody has the privilege to announce that he is the guest General Manager of NXT.

NXT Men's Champion Ilja Dragunov makes his way to the ring.

Ilja starts to talk but he is cut off by chants of Happy Birthday.

Ilja apologizes for interrupting but he wanted to welcome Cody to NXT.  He says Cody's announcements bring hope to the future of the brand.  They bring excitement and breathe life into NXT.  Ilja says he wanted to meet Cody.  A man who brings this passion and energy.  This man who brings the will to suffer for the entire WWE Universe.  He says Cody fights with a fire and does everything to bring things to the next level.  Ilja says he wants to do that too.  Ilja promises to push NXT to the next level with a fire that only the Mad Dragon can blow.

Dominik Mysterio interrupts and he comes ot the ring with Rhea RIpley.

Dom asks if they are out here patting each other on their back.  Dom says they are here to see the greatest superstar this brand has to offer . . . him.  Dom says Ilja might be NXT champion, but you don't compare to the only true AA champion.  If you want to feel Cody's energy, asks Cody about his energy levels after THE Judgment Day left him laying.

Ilja says he is not surprised that Dom came out to talk when no one in the arena wants to hear the sound of his voice.  Ilja says his father used to work in a prison so he knows how to turn a barking dog into a sweet little puppy.  

Dom asks if he hurt Ilja.  

Rhea whispers something into Ilja's ear.

Dom tells Ilja to put his title on the line tonight against him to see if Ilja is half the man he says he is.

Cody interrupts and he asks if Dom isn't willing to put his title on the line.

Rhea says Dom has been carrying WWE on his back the entire year.  Rhea says he just won the North American title back.

Ilja says today is a day of celebration.  As a gift to himself, he couldn't imagine anything better than eating a man like you alive in this ring.  Ilja tells Rhea he is going to smash her boy.

Cody says since he is the guest General Manager, the match for the NXT Championship is official.   Cody says with the Judgment Day's numbers there needs to be a guest referee.  Cody says it is not going to be him but the hottest star in WWE, LA Knight.

John Cena walks in the back as we go to commercial.

John Cena makes his way to the ring.

John says that is the most street cred he has gotten in the last 15 years.  John says everyone talks about how NXT is the future.  He says they can't see that they are making history tonight.  Cody Rhodes is the GM, LA Knight is a referee, they turned this place into a pub, you sang his theme song.  That is what makes this place beautiful and great.  This is what happens every Tuesday night.  To be here, there is nothing like it.  Cena says it is long overdue.  He says it is his honor to be able to share space with all of you tonight.  Cena says he is not alone.  That is why LA Knight and Cody Rhodes are here.  Cena says gratitude is a core value of his and he thanks everyone for making this a place that everyone wants to visit.  

Cena says they are Smackdown, they are Raw, and they are NXT.  That is why when Carmelo Hayes called him, he couldn't say yes fast enough.  Carmelo is loyal to his friends and he thanks Carmelo for giving him to chance to be in his corner for his match against Bron Breakker.

Bron Breakker's music plays and he makes his way to the ring.  

Bron asks John how is he doing while the crowd puts Bron Breakker in the way they used to treat Cena and Cena says he likes it with the new lyrics.

Bron says it is a big night for NXT and for WWE.  Bron says these people didn't come here to see you John.  Bron says they came here to see him.  You have everyone fooled to think that Carmelo Hayes has a chance to beat Bron.  To have the greatest of all time in his corner.

Cena says everyone knows the business is in your blood.  You are athletically gifted.  We also know that your glaring weakness is your attitude.  You lack respect.  Cena says he didn't come out to run Bron down, but now that you are out here . . . Cena says this is a teachable moment.  He says he is excited for Bron's match and he respectfully wishes Bron good luck tonight.  

Cena offers his hand and Bron punches Cena.  Bron sets for a spear and misses it.  Cena gets Bron up for an Attitude Adjustment but Bron escapes and goes to the floor.
