Myles Borne makes his way to the ring.
Oba Femi comes to the ring.
Oba says Myles came out alone and he does not know if that makes him stupid or brave. That is confidence. That is why you have made it this far. You are the number one contender for the NXT Championship. It is his understanding that this match is not just a fight for the title, it is a fight for everyone you are going to inspire who has struggled like you. Oba says that is admirable, but also misleading. Life is cruel. Good things don't always happen to good people. You are a good person. This is not a Disney movie. You don't get the happy ending or the dream come true. You don't get to run into the sunset with his title. The dream was winning the Battle Royal and beating Ethan Page. When you walk into the ring with him, the dream will die. Oba says he will be merciless and relentless. He says you him to treat him like everyone else. You will be destroyed at the hands of Oba Femi.
Myles says he might be out here by himself, but he is not alone. Tavion and Charlie are training with. He has every kid who feels different and every parent who is afraid their child won't fit in. It is about more than winning a title, it is about making a statement. He tells Oba to underestimate him. You wouldn't be the first. Everyone has underestimated him, even coaches at the NXT Tryout. He has proven them wrong. This is the biggest match of his career but he has been surviving. This isn't a Disney movie, but every ruler falls. He might be hard of hearing, but when he shocks the world, they will hear the one-two-three loud and clear.

Page says he is not giving him a match because he is having fun destroying him.
Saints says he can put the title on the line and Page likes that idea.
Ava tells them they don't make matches, she does. Sean Legacy has a claim for the title but the way you pissed her off, you have a match next week and the title is on the line.
We are back with Tony D'Angelo in RESTAURANT. He says the worst thing about betrayal is that it never comes from enemies, but from family. He says he tried. He tried to understand why you did this to him and the family. He says he is not a coward. He thought they were the same. He brought him into NXT. They ran the family and came to power. You were the under boss but that wasn't good enough. You wanted the glory and to be the shot caller. Tony says he gets it. You don't get it. You only see what Tony allowed you to see. You worried about yourself and it was easy. You will never sit in the big chair. You have guts but no brains. Sunday there is no betrayal and no bailout. There is just him breaking your face.
