Bron says to give it up for the new Champ before trying to leave. Melo stops him and they shake hands and hug. He holds Melo's hand up before decking him. He does the same to Trick before hitting a spear on Hayes. Bron then takes his shirt off and tosses it on top of Melo.

Melo calls Bron out "so he can tell him something." Bron comes out. Melo says that it was cool that Bron presented him the Championship. He thanks Bron. Bron says that it's the champ's responsibility to pass the torch respectfully to the next guy because that is what he was taught by Tommaso Ciampa.

Melo says he wasn't handed the #1 Spot - he took it. Melo thanks Bron Breakker, but not before he'll raise the jersey.

Melo says he was "all up balling" in the arena at Stand & Deliver, but not without the usual help from Trick Williams. Just saying.

We get a quick vignette of three stars coming soon to NXT - Tank Ledger, Dani Palmer, and Oba Femi. Cora Jade speaks and a Women's NXT Tag Team title rematch is announced for next week. Von Wagner vs. Ilja Dragunov also added for next week, as is Duke Hudson's MVP Trophy presentation.
