He says he knew he was coming to NXT a few weeks ago.  He says he talked to Nick Khan and Triple H.  He said he didn't know what to say.  He says he talked to Ava backstage and she said you will feel this crowd.  

Rock says thank you because last night was a sexy ticket with the celebrities.  That was the one you had to go to.  Tonight is what you want to go to.  It is easy to go to the place that has all the stars and it isn't easy to go to this show.  You are critical to this whole thing.  Those guys and girls in the back, in three years, they could be the main event of Wrestlemania.  In three years, they could be out of the business.  Whether you boo or cheer, it depends on how you react.  

He says he knows what it is like to depend on the crowd.  

We go to credits.
