We take a look at the media being done for NXT moving to the CW.

We go to Sarah at the press conference and Ethan Page is the first person.

He is asked if there is pressure being champion.  He says he has wanted to be the face of a company and carry it on his back and that is what he is doing.  What separates him from everyone else is how he handles himself.

He is asked what does Trick do well in the ring.  He says Trick is a former champion and he is resilient but it won't help him win the title.

Ethan is asked about CM Punk's impact as guest referee.  Page says Punk won't be a factor.

Page says he is going to give some time to CM Punk to make sure he is a non-factor.

Grayson Waller and Austin Theory walk in WAREHOUSE for the Grayson Waller Effect.

We go to commercial.

We are back with Je'Von Evans and CM Punk in LOCKER ROOM and Trick Williams shows up.

Trick thanks Punk for stepping up last week.  Trick says things have been going crazy for a while.  Ethan Page will try to do anything to keep the title and he ain't letting him do that.  

Punk says he is proud of what Trick has done.  He says he won't let either man cheat and he will make sure the best man wins the match.  He says he hopes Trick wins, but he won't lean that way.  At the end of the night, if Ethan is the better man, he will raise his hand.

Grayson Waller and Austin Theory are in the ring for the Grayson Waller Effect.

Waller welcomes everyone.  He says they brought out the big guns for the last night on USA.  Theory says everyone is looking at the greatest graduates in NXT history.  

Waller talks about what they have accomplished and then they talk about the men they will face in two weeks, Axiom and Nathan Frazer.

Waller welcomes them for coming and for dressing up for the occasion.  Waller says they have been on Smackdown for a while and he says they would be excellent additions to Smackdown . . . as individual competitors because the tag team isn't working.

Frazer asks if Waller is talking about him and Theory because they are fine.  He says they can't wait to see who back stabs the other.

Theory says they are solid and they run things.    Waller says when they win in two weeks, Frazer and Axiom are done.  He says that is a good thing because they are better as singles wrestlers.  Theory talks about Frazer doing the flippity doo da.  

Axiom brings up that they became the grim reapers of the NXT Tag division.  Frazer says in two weeks, in St. Louis, they are going to send them six feet under.

Theory says that sounded smooth but he says every Friday, it doesn't matter who they face because they put them down.  You are impressive but there are levels to this game.

Waller says there are levels to this game and you move a million miles an hour.  Waller says they have been performing under the brightest lights on the biggest stage.  They will give them the rub in two weeks, but they will also be taking the titles.

Frazer asks Waller why is it the Grayson Waller Effect.  Shouldn't it be Waller and Theory?

Theory gets up and says that is a good idea.

Waller says it was called that before they were a team and then he attacks Frazer and Theory goes after Axiom.

Lash, Jakara, and Oro are in LOUNGE and Lexis King shows up and he says he could have blindsided Oro but he doesn't want to do that.  He says it is more than anger for Oro.  It is the deep seated trauma with his father.  King says he knows what it is like to go through life without someone to lean on and that is why you use violence.  He says Oro didn't have a great relationship with his father.  He says may the best man win tonight.

Oro and King shake hands and Oro tells him to make sure he makes his dad proud.

Hank and Tank walk in the back and talk about what Karl and Luke have won in wrestling but the respect was gone after they cost them the titles.  Tank says revenge is on their mind.

We go to commercial.

We are bac and Karmen and Brinley are talking about stuff and Ashante Thee Adonis enters with a rose.  

Ashante tells Brinley she wasn't getting the rose.  Adonis tells Tatum that she doesn't scare him but excites him.  He says miracles don't happen twice as he leaves.
