William Regal is outside of his office and he is asked about what is going on. William admits that it is about the Aleister Black investigation and he is starting it tonight.

Johnny Gargano makes his way to the ring and he has a crutch to help him make his way down the ramp. Johnny says that you have always had his back as the crowd chants “Johnny Wrestling”. He says that he does not deserve that right now. He says he loves the chants but he does not deserve it because he broke a promise. Johnny says he has made a lot of mistakes lately. He said if he won the title in Brooklyn, he would fix those problems, but he lost. Johnny says he failed you and he thought he could fix it and make it right.

Johnny says he does not know where he goes from here. He says he lost more than a match in Brooklyn. Johnny says he lost himself. Johnny says he has done a lot of stupid things lately and he does not know how to fix them. Johnny says he does not know what to do any more. After all he has been through, he does not know what is left. In Brooklyn, he became something he is not proud of. Johnny says he became Tommaso Ciampa. He is in his head and he cannot get him out. He does not know what to do or how to control it. He does not know how to feel and what they want from him. Johnny says he wants him out and he has to be better. He does not know how to do it.

William Regal’s music plays and he makes his way to the stage and then to the ring. William tells Johnny before Aleister Black comes and burns this whole place down, he needs to ask Johnny if he attacked Aleister Black.

Johnny says William has known him for a long time and he tells William to tell him. Regal says his opinion does not matter and he needs an answer. Johnny tells William to look into his eyes and you will see his answer.

Velveteen Dream makes his way to the stage. Dream says he is not in the mood tonight. He is sick and disgusted listening to the same old song. Woe is Johnny. This shouldn’t be about Johnny or a man who is not even in the building tonight. Tonight should be about The Experience. Tonight should be about the Experience that stole Brooklyn. The Experience that had the world buzzing. It should be about the trending topic of Brooklyn, it should be about the Velveteen Dream.

It should not be about Johnny Failure. Johnny says he likes “Johnny Failure”. The doctor gave him this crutch to keep the weight off his knee for a few days but he is good to go.

William Regal has to separate them. Regal tells Johnny to go to the back and Dream is told to go to his office. Regal says if they want to fight, it will happen next week.

Backstage: Tommaso Ciampa

We are back and Tommaso Ciampa says peace and quiet. When he went away a year ago for ACL surgery, he made a promise. He promised to be the most dangerous SOB NXT would ever see. Ciampa says he exceeded expectations. He ended the Gargano Fairy Tale and then he captured the NXT Title. He is exactly what he says he is. He is the greatest sports entertainer of all time and this is his proof. It takes a certain type of man to scratch, claw, and climb to the top of the mountain. It takes a different kind of man to build his nest there and call it home. Tommaso Ciampa is the main event. Now, NXT is his home and this is just the beginning. No one will survive what’s coming next.
