We are back and Jacy Jayne makes her way to the ring.
Jacy says let's not pretend that what happened last week occurred. It doesn't matter. Whether you like it or not, for more than 100 days she has been your NXT champion. She has gotten rid of every single label given to her. All so cute, but all so wrong. She says she finds it pathetic, comedic, and laughable that you live in this fantasy that the one who is going to dethrone her is Lola Vice. Really? A crossover act pretending to be a wrestler in her division. She is splashy and has followers on Instagram. She says she will give Lola her flowers because she has improved but she is not ready to hold this title. You have the home town hero story going for you.
She tells Lola to wake up. That is the Jacy Jayne story. She shocked the world. Been there, done that. You are not the underdog in this story, Jacy says she was. She was humiliated and thrown to the side, told she was never going to make it. While you were shaking your ass, Jacy says she was busting her ass. Nothing will save you for what is coming your way at No Mercy. No one will ruin that for her.
Lola Vice comes out and she reminds us of Jacy's full name. Another person talking about her ass. At least she has an ass to shake. One hundred days as champ and she says that is impressive. You are barely surviving. You need someone to help, but Lola says she doesn't. You were a toxic third wheel while she was knocking people out for her opportunity. Lola says she remembers being in this ring before facing Roxanne and she was nervous and anxious. Lola says that is not who she is any more. This time it is different. She stands before you a completely different person. More than a fighter, a professional wrestler. A WWE superstar. For as much as she wants to win this for her family, her culture, and herself. She is doing this for all of the people who believe her and have her back.
Lola says she will show Jacy no mercy when she knocks her out and becomes the new champion.
Jacy calls everyone fickle. She knows that Lola will beat her ass on Saturday. She sees Lola and she knows her. She knows since the day you walked in here, you have been looking for validation. You want your family to be proud. Jacy says somehow, some way, she will be walking out with that title. Her reality might be a broken nose or a broken jaw. Your reality will be looking both your parents in their eyes and tell them the sacrifices they made for you mean nothing. Jacy says she will still be champion and you will be your family's biggest disappointment.
Lola with a back fist to Jacy and she grabs the title and then she shakes her hips.
We are back and Josh Briggs says he can do what most cannot do in the ring. He can fly and he hits hard. He is told that he does not connect with the fans. No matter what he did, you were never satisfied. He says everyone else is just a fan or a seat filler. It eats you alive that he is so talented. You tell him to go away when he comes out but at the end of his matches, you chant this is awesome. Y
Je'Von Evans is just like that. He will do things for your approval. It makes him weak. He will show Je'Von that everything is just noise. He does not care if he connects with you when his boot connects with Je'Von's face. The only chant he cares about is 'one . . .two . . . three'

We are back with a look at Ricky Saints in New Orleans.
He says he embodies everything about New Orleans. Without New Orleans, who is he? Ricky says he doesn't know if he was supposed to make it. He is where his childhood home used to be. He says the storm took it away. It is so funny when you are an adult and it looks different. The perspective changes. He says he is man enough to come back so they can say that he made it through. He says he had no other choice but to make it. You may see the style and the glamor. He represents everyone from the street merchants to the people who are hungry and want it. He says he knows where he doesn't want to go back to. He moves forward so he does not go backwards. it is about survival. Since he was little, he did not let a circumstance define him. That is why he loves to come back to New Orleans. It is about his family and his people. You see a reflection of Ricky Saints in everyone.
This Saturday isn't about winning the title. It is about making the non-believers into believers. It is to make sure all of the gambles paid off. It does not matter who it is, it matters that he gets it done. He says he will usher in a new era because he has to.
