We take a look at last week's NXT and No Mercy.
NXT Men's Champion Ricky Saints makes his way to the ring.
Ricky thanks the fans. He says he said every giant needed to rest and he did that when he put Oba down. He says you have been with him since day one. On February 8th, he stood in the ring and said reality was him main eventing every PLE. Reality is winning the title. Reality is standing here in front of y'all. He says it has not been an easy journey. People asked could he do it. Ricky asks if he did it. If there is one thing he is going to do, he stands on business. He put the chips on the line and bet on himself. He walked out of Fort Lauderdale as the world champion. The only person you have to worry about and bet on is yourself.
Jacy Jayne interrupts and she congratulates Ricky. She says as happy as she is for him, they have bigger things to worry about. TNA is trying to take over NXT, even though they have both of their titles. She would be upset as well. Nobody likes to talk about themselves . . .
Ava interrupts and she says that Jacy took the words out of her mouth.
She says they have more important things to worry about. Both of you are the team captains for NXT. That means you both have the task of deciding who will be on your team. She tells them to put their pride and differences aside. She says she needs the best team. She needs the best men and the best women.
Santino Marella interrupts.
He tells Ava that is a great idea. He will let his captains choose the teams. He will not have Tricky be his captain because how can you trust someone named Tricky. Santino says his men's captain is Mike Santana. The women's captain is someone from NXT he trusts. His women's captain is Kelani Jordan.
Ava says they need the teams finalized by the end of the night.
Santino says this isn't an invasion. They have been working together. This is a showcase, no a showdown. He says he will see them at the summit.
