Lyra Valkyria is out next.
Roxanne says she cannot wait until Saturday to win back the title she never lost.
Lyra tells Roxanne to stop. She says she is so sick of Roxanne saying the same damn thing over and over again. Do you want to know why you aren't the NXT Champion. She says Indi Hartwell climbed a ladder faster than you. You had a chance to regain your title at Stand and Deliver but you lost. You didn't blame yourself, you blamed Indi. You lost against her and you blamed Lola Vice for that. Lyra says that was shocking and unexpected, like when you won the title. It isn't okay when Lola does it, but it is okay when Roxanne does it.
Roxanne tells Lyra to stop talking about her like she knows her. You don't know what it is like to lose that championship, but on Saturday you will. She says she will knock Lyra off her high horse and then we will see where your moral compass is. A champion is not made until you lose the title. She says she wouldn't have been able to snap Lyra's arm at Vengeance Day but now she can. Do you think losing the title broke her? She says it only made her dangerous.
Lyra says she keeps hearing Roxanne talking about 'her title'. It wasn't 'your title' when Tiffany Stratton or Becky Lynch were champion. You have your excuses. Stand and Deliver will be a fight. The biggest show of the year. The difference between them is that while she wins, all Roxanne does is bitch. After Stand and Deliver, you will have a lot to bitch about.
Roxanne gets up and she tells Lyra she wants to be seen as the perfect champion but there is no perfect champion, not even the great Lyra Valkyria. She has a year of rage inside of her and at Stand and Deliver she is going to let it out.
Roxanne punches Lyra but Lyra with a Death Valley Driver through the table.

They had a bond that was so strong. The first two black men to main event a PPV Wrestlemania weekend. As much as he wants to be excited and happy about that, it is hard because he is going to war against the man he used to call his brother.
