We are back and Johnny Gargano makes his way to the ring.

Johnny says it has been a hell of a month.  He was the most confident he had ever been going into Philly.  He brought his family and he saw himself standing in this ring as champion.  Unfortunately, that did not happen and it sucks.  However, the reaction from the fans make it obvious to him that what he earned that night was more than a championship, he earned everyone's respect.  Johnny says he had the match of a lifetime.  At his lowest of lows, he found out that title or no title, he is Johnny Gargano.  He is Johnny 'Freaking' Wrestling.

Philadelphia will be a night that he will never forget.  The other thing he will never forget.  A crutch shot to the back.  Johnny says he has held his tongue since Chicago, but he tells Tommaso Ciampa he is coming for him.  

Johnny is interrupted by the music of the champion, Andrade Almas, who makes his way to the stage with Zelina Vega.  They walk to the ring.

Zelina says you earned their respect.  Who cares because you didn't earn anything.  Johnny should not be out here.  Andrade should be out here with a parade and confetti.  You did not prove anything other than the fact that you are a loser.  Ciampa had nothing to do with you losing because the NXT Champion has beaten you again and again and again.  You are not Johnny Wrestling, you are Johnny Loser.

Johnny says his favorite part of Takeover was earning their respect.  His second favorite part was when his wife jumping the guardrail and attacked Zelina.

Zelina slaps Johnny and Candice LeRae comes to the ring and she pushes Zelina.  Johnny pushes Almas and he goes to the floor.

Vega says she is sick of the two of you.  What will it take to get rid of you?  Almas has beaten you three times.

Johnny says if you want him gone, give him another shot at the title.

Vega wants to clarify the situation.  If they give Johnny a championship match and you lose, you leave for good.  

Johnny says if he cannot win the title, he will leave NXT.

Shayna Baszler is interviewed and she says it took her a month to become the most dangerous person in NXT.  Ask anyone.  If you get in the ring with her, you have three choices, tap, nap, or snap.  Shayna is asked what is next and she says that Ember is afraid of her and Shayna says she will take the title.  Ember got off lucky the last time they met.

We go to commercial.

Next week, Pete Dunne faces Roderick Strong for the WWE UK Title.

Tyler Bate is asked about losing to Roderick Strong last week.  Tyler says it is difficult to get upset because credit where credit is due.  Tyler says he will be watching that match closely.  Tyler is asked about having match of the year.  He says it is an amazing honor.  He says he is looking forward to more matches of the year against NXT's best.

Match Number Two:  Bianca Belair versus Jesse Till

Jesse offers her hand to Belair and she shakes it reluctantly.  Belair does not let go and she gets Jesse in a torture rack and then hits a Burning Hammer.  Belair with the fallaway power bomb for the three count.
