Trick Williams battled his old friend Carmelo Hayes in the main event and picked up an impressive victory.

Following the match, Trick Williams was interviewed backstage and broke his silence. He said that despite Hayes lying to his face several times, he still loves him, and the two broke records together at Stand & Deliver.

"Man, this is crazy. We broke records tonight, we made history tonight, and regardless, Melo (Carmelo Hayes), I got to thank him for making me ready for this moment. We did that together. He turned on me, he crossed on me. He said he was my boy. He lied to my face over and over again. He blamed everybody else, he never wanted me to be the one. But the truth is I am the one, I've always been the one. I love my brother, that ain't going to change, but NXT is in good hands now," he said. [From 00:15 - 00:42]
