Ricochet and Aleister Black responded to the news of the Fatal-5-Way. Both men said that business was business, and tonight was every man for himself. Velveteen Dream, holding the NXT North American Championship, said that the outcome of tonight's Fatal-5-Way was simply...Dream Over. Dream hoped to become the first ever dual champion in NXT history.


NXT showed footage of Tommaso Ciampa's pre-op interview by himself and his doctors, followed by footage of the surgery and Ciampa's reaction after he woke up.

The former champion was told that everything went perfect, meaning good things in the future for Ciampa. This was the third surgery he had undergone since joining NXT, having his knee and both shoulders operated on before his comeback last year.


A video package was shown of Matt Riddle's highlights throughout his short tenure in NXT. Riddle then responded to the news of his inclusion in the Fatal-5-Way match tonight. Riddle said that nothing was stopping his undefeated streak, and at NXT TakeOver, he will become the next NXT Champion.

Adam Cole was the final man to react to the announcement. Flanked by the rest of Undispured Era, he said that nobody deserved a shot at the championship more than him. Not only that, it's meant to be, as he made his debut at the Barclays Center back at NXT TakeOver: Brooklyn II. At the Barclays Center this year, he'll defeat Johnny Gargano and finally wrap the NXT Championship around his waist.


Io Shirai and Kairi Sane were interviewed about their match against Shayna Baszler at NXT TakeOver: New York. Baszler will defend the NXT Women's Championship against them and Bianca Belair in a Fatal-4-Way match, giving the Queen of Spades her most difficult challenge to date.

Belair interrupted them, reminding them that if it wasn't for Baszler, she would've earned a one-on-one opportunity at the title last week.
