AVA & Ricky Saints Segment 

AVA: Last week, Oba Femi vacated the NXT Championship. And while some people might see this as a challenge, I see it as the perfect opportunity, because now the men’s division is wide open, and I cannot wait to see who sets up. Because whether you’ve been grinding at this for a while, you feel like you’ve been overlooked or you’re a new face who just stepped in the door, there’s no better moment than right now.

Ricky Saints: Everyone, I just want to say, thank you all for coming out here tonight. And AVA, thank you for holding all of this, because before I go any further, I just want to say, I told y’all. I ran the Stand & Deliver main event right out of NXT, and that is what you call an absolute hat trick. Je’Von Evans, Trick Williams, Oba Femi, he didn’t want the rematch with me, because The Ruler is afraid. But they, they are in the past, and I am the now. At the start of every show, that signature says something. Well, guess what? Ricky Saints is the then, now and forever, and together, you will all be watching me. But hold on, hold on, I’m looking around everybody right here, we’ve got some real talented men right now, people who are future champions, don’t forget it. But that’s the future, and all eyes are on Saints right now, who I can only assume is going to be the 2X NXT Champion. But AVA, I’ll shut up, I’ll let you have at it, and I’ll let you do the honors and hand the title over to me.

AVA: Hand the title over? No. Ricky, you’re a funny guy. Sure, you deserve an opportunity, but no more than all of these other men who came into my office and said the exact same thing. So, what I was going to say, before you so rudely interrupted me, what was that, on February 3rd, there’s going to be a 6-Man Ladder Match. And whoever climbs the top of that ladder and pulls this championship down will become the new NXT Champion. And qualifying matches for that will begin next week, so I cannot wait to see who’s going to step up and make this moment their own.

AVA has the NXT Championship suspended above the ring. A pier six brawl ensues with the entire Men’s Locker Room. Keanu Carver starts laying out everybody. All hell is breaking loose in Winter Park.

Elio LeFleur Promo 

When you look at me, it isn’t what you would expect. A Frenchman in a mask. It’s unique. But this mask tells my story. When I began training at 16 years old, I was mentored by a Mexican Luchador named Nitro. He held a seminar in my hometown every year and told us he would give a mask to his best trainee. At the end of the seminar, he awarded me the mask. I was very young, but he saw potential in me to be his star protege. It’s one of the proudest moments of my career. Now every time I enter the ring, I represent him by wearing the mask and with my style. I aim to prove him right and honor the lucha tradition. Because without him, by wearing the mask and my style, I wouldn’t be who I am or where I am today. The French Luchador, Elio LeFleur is coming to NXT. And I’m here to slash the sky.

AVA tells Page that he’ll be defending the NXT North American Championship next week against Elio LeFleur in his debut match. Page complains about LeFleur getting a title shot on his first night. AVA says that Page should know something about that as she walks away.

Blake Monroe & Jaida Parker Segment 

Blake Monroe: Let’s talk about it. Last week, I came out here with every intention of reclaiming my NXT Women’s North American Championship. Yes, I attacked Thea Hail, but so what? All I did was bring a little hell out to play. I mean, it was a travesty I was even having to compete for my title in the first place, it was. And instead of letting Blake Monroe rise to the occasion, they turn it into controversy, they turn it into chaos. I was exactly where I was supposed to be, right in the middle of the condensation, and then suddenly the narrative changed. And instead of answers, I was walked out the building, like I’m the problem. But I’m gonna let you in on a little secret, when you’re as talented as I am, people don’t always know what to do with you. They’ll call you controversial, they’ll debate about you on commentary, you all will whine about every little thing Blakey does wrong, but you’ll never willingly admit the obvious, Blake Monroe is the standard.

I’m the most complete woman in NXT. AVA wants to go on and on about the future, and we need something new, but no one even compares to The Glamour. I am the moment. Every move I make is monumental; it set you all into a frenzy. I mean, you saw it all last week, the spotlight literally only exists, because I want it to. And the minute you take me out of the equation, we see how fragile the system really is. I didn’t lose control last week, I lost patience, I lost patience with a system that doesn’t know how to exists when things aren’t convenient. The minute I step out of line, the minute I do something, it’s quite alright, those girls can fight over the scraps of attention I let them. In fact, I’ll even let them borrow some of my shine, because every story ends in the same truth. There are stars and there are women who spend their careers.

Jaida Parker: Look, all I got to say is, Ms. Parker is back.

Blake Monroe: Can I help you?

Jaida Parker: She didn’t hear me talking?

Izzi Dame & Tatum Paxley Segment 

Izzi Dame: Ladies and gentlemen, and everyone who thought they understood how this division works, welcome to your new reality. I am your NXT Women’s North American Champion, not Tatum Paxley, not Thea Hail, and certainly not Blake Monroe, me. Now, I’m not gonna sit here and give you guys the same tired story about how I finally got my moment, and made the most of an opportunity, because that’s what people say when they stumble into success. And let me be clear, this was not stumbling into success, this was calculation, timing and simply outsmarting everybody else. I would like to talk about how funny it is, how happy everybody here was that I lost to Tatum Paxley last week. Now, can I ask why, because what exactly did you guys think I was gonna do after that loss? Cry? Go to the back and hide into the shadows, and wait for another chance, because that’s what all of you would’ve done. Well, one thing about me, I don’t waste losses, I study them. And while every other woman back there sits there and feels sorry for themselves, I’m watching, learning, figuring out exactly how this place runs, who panics, who folds, who’s delusional enough to think that emotion is a strength instead of a weakness.

All that loss did for me last week was bring me clarity. It made me remember that The Culling has always been about removing weakness, exploiting mistakes, and making sure that when moments come, every other person is already out of place, and I am standing exactly where I plan to be all along. Every step, every move, every second has always been a part of my plan. And last week proved that I’m always three steps ahead. And I engineered my opportunity, I designed the outcome, and because of that, I am now a champion, and everybody wants a piece of Izzi Dame. I mean, Lola, let’s not act like I didn’t hear you out here earlier already wanting a shot at my title.

Well, wanting something and getting it are two very different things, mamacita. And Thea, oh, Thea, I know you’re back there right now, running around, convincing yourself that the louder you whine, the better chance you have getting a rematch. But crying doesn’t change the fact that this title is mine now, and I’m in control of exactly when and how anyone gets close to it. Just ask Tatum Paxley how I operate. All of you love Tatum so much but apparently love just isn’t enough to keep someone on top. I mean, I didn’t become champion, because how beloved I am. I became champion, because I think faster, plan longer, and pull the trigger without hesitation. And if anyone, and I mean anyone thinks that they’re gonna get close to this title, then they need to understand what they’re signing up for. Because you’re not fighting for a title, you’re walking into a trap, a game that you don’t even realize has already begun, and that’s just what it is.

– Tatum Paxley breaks free from referees, storms into the ring, and drops Izzi Dame with a double leg takedown. Paxley transitions into a ground and pound attack. Dame retreats to the outside. Paxley punches Referee Chip Danning to close this segment.

– Kelly Kincaid had a backstage interview with Ricky Saints. Has he been able to cool down after finding out that he won’t be handed the NXT Championship? What happened to unbiased journalism around here? Ricky said that he had a conversation with AVA. He was promised a rematch for the NXT Championship, so she came up with a compromise. Ricky doesn’t need to qualify for the Ladder Match, because he’s officially in the Ladder Match. Ricky will be joining commentary for two of the qualifying matches next week, one of them being Sean Legacy versus Eli Knight, and the other pitting Josh Briggs against Shiloh Hill. Stacks and Arianna Grace interrupt the interview. Stacks is pissed that Shiloh is getting a qualifying match after just defeating him. Ricky says that Stacks shouldn’t complain, because his girl helped him win the match, and he’s still the TNA International Champion. Ricky tells Stacks that he’ll be alright. Lexis King appears. Lexis tells Stacks that they need to talk.

– Coming out of the commercial break, Blake Howard informs us that Tatum Paxley is being ejected from the Performance Center for attacking a WWE Official. The Vanity Project joins the conversation. They’re officially signed to NXT. Jackson is assuming that he’ll have a qualifying match despite currently being the WWE EVOLVE Champion.
