WWE NXT REPORT: SARRAY'S DEBUT, KUSHIDA CELEBRATES, A LOT OF PEOPLE TALK, AND MORE

We are at the Capitol Wrestling Centre and your announcers are Wade Barrett, Vic Joseph, and Beth Phoenix.

Kyle O'Reilly makes his way to the ring and he has something to say.

Kyle says in life we face constraint struggles and challenges.  At Takeover, I faced the toughest personal and physical challenge of my life.  Kyle says he is in a great mood because he is nowhere near Adam Cole.  He is behind him and he says he can be himself and he quotes Jim Carrey.  He says he does not thrust himself into the spotlight because his actions in the ring speak for himself.  Now that Adam Cole is behind him, it is time to move on.

What is next for Kyle O'Reilly?  There is something he learned at Takeover.  To succeed here, you need to have that killer instinct.  That same killer instinct that Adam Cole had but I did not act on.  You have to go to those extremes and you have to pay the ultimate sacrifice to achieve your goals.  Are my next goals to prove that I am the best and win the 'workhorse' title, the North American Championship?  Do I hunt down the most dominant force in NXT?  I have plenty of time . . . I must be talking to you Karrion Kross.  You have something . . . 

Cameron Grimes interrupts and congratulates Kyle.  He showed that he can stand and deliver.  I made a killing on Draft Kings betting on you.  They thought you were the underdog.  You are more than that.  You are a top dog or a big dog.  Maybe if you had someone who could invest in you, we could do a lot.  You have the Kool Kyle thing going.  We can do Kool Kyle sunglasses or that jacket.  Think about the moment you jumped off that top rope to destroy Adam, we can make that into an NFT.  KO Koins.  Think about it.  We can go TO THE MOOOOOOOOON!

Kyle says yes, I love it and he calls Grimes a genius.  He says the stonks are great.  He thanks Cameron for the tip on Dogecoin.  Kyle says he found out that he is cleared to compete.  He says he saw his first opponent around here.

Kyle looks around and he says it isn't Cameron because they are business associates.

Kyle puts on some glasses and tells Grimes it is him.  Kyle punches Grimes.

We take a look at Sarray's arrival at the building and William Regal greets her. 

Zoey Stark shows up and introduces herself to Sarray.  Zoey says she would love to face Sarray tonight.

William Regal likes the idea and he asks Sarray if she would like to face Zoey tonight.

LA Knight is in the ring and he says he was the highlight of Takeover.  The people in the Gauntlet Elminator wanted to make sure he didn't steal the spotlight.  I am coming after all of you.
