We are in Orlando, Florida and your announcers are Beth Phoenix, Wade Barrett, and Beth Phoenix.
Many new wrestlers are in the ring, including Bron Breakker, Odyssey Jones, Trick Williams, Josh Briggs, Joe Gacy, Brooks Jensen, and Carmelo Hayes.
NXT Men's Champion Tommaso CIampa makes his way to the ring.
Ciampa says on day 908, I reclaimed my spot at the top of the mountain and he regained the spot he never lost. It has been a hell of a journey and it was worth every damn second for this moment. To stand in this ring and say to each and every one of you that once again, Tommaso Ciampa is your NXT Champion. Ciampa listens to Goldie and he says he misses her too. The energy is contagious with the fresh faces. Ciampa says these young men and women are busting their asses and they are ready to show just how good they are.

Ciampa says he will always be Mr. NXT. We can get a fresh coat of paint and call it 2.0, but there is one thing that does not change. That is the passion. Alicia is NXT. The announcers are NXT. I look at each and everyone one of these guys and they are NXT. Then there are the fans. That is the heartbeat and soul of this place. You are the reason I get to do what I do. I am happy to be holding this title to represent this brand. NXT just became the A Show.

Ciampa punches Dunne and we have a brawl as the Grizzled Young Veterans make their wayt ot eh ring to get involved.
