We see Gigi Dolin and she says she was always driven to art and self expression.  Her dreary life was helped by the escape.  She says she has been rejected by friends and family.  That is what sets her apart from everyone.  She has the ability to create whatever comes in her mind.

We are back with a look at what Finn Balor did to Seth Rollins last night on Raw.

Duke Hudson is in the ring with photos of Thea Hail.  He says as the MVP of Chase University it is his honor to welcome you to the Pep Rally for Thea Hail.  He says we have seen Thea in the agony of defeat as well as the thrill of victory.  Next week, she will defeat Tiffany to become the youngest NXT champion in history.

Duke introduces Thea Hail.

Thea says this is the awesomest day of her life.  She says her heart is beating so fast and next week is the biggest match of her career.  Everyone on the roster has accomplishments from college and all she has is graduating from high school.  She says she didn't want to be a doctor or an Olympian, she wanted to be a WWE Superstar.  She doesn't need National Championships or Masters Degrees because she is going to become champion.

Duke asks about Thea saying she just graduated from high school.  Charlie is not happy to hear that.

Thea says she pushed herself to win the battle royal.  She thanks Mr. Chase, watching at home.  She also wants to thank Duke Hudson.  Thea also thanks her two favorite pains in the butts, Charlie Dempsey and Drew Gulak.  She says she knows Charlie is happy about the idea of her winning the title.  She is going to use all of what she learned next week on Tiffany.  She is going to give a Chase University sized ass whooping.

Tiffany Stratton comes out and she says this is amazingly horrible.  She tells Duke it is a tacky set up.  All for Thea Hail?  You were nobody's pick for the battle royal.  You got really lucky.  That whole celebration was so cute, but if you think it is going to happen next week, you will be the dumbest person in this entire building.  Tiffany says according to her calculations you have a zero percent chance of winning.

Duke says next week, Thea is taking the title from her, at the age of 19.  So much heart and determination.  She leaves it in the ring every week and you are going to find out for yourself in seven days.  You might not believe in Thea Hail, but Duke says he does.  Chase University believes in Thea Hail.  Everyone believes in Thea Hail.

Tiffany tells Duke not to make her gag.  Next week, not only will you not win next week, you won't make her tap out.

Thea with a kimura and Tiffany taps out because it means nothing since there is no match.

We go to footage of The Schism last week.  Joe wants to know if his misfortunes are affecting everyone.  Jagger says it is his fault they lost.

Joe tells Jagger he is correct.  That is why the Dyad has been hitting harder than ever.  He says togetherness is what is important.

Ava says their tree will not fall from one chop.  

Ivy and Julius are looking at The Schism and they talk about The Schism.  Ivy says they lost last week because of Ava using the loaded mask.
