In-Ring: Velveteen Dream, Roderick Strong, Pete Dunne

NXT North American Champion Velveteen Dream makes his way to the ring. Dream says the only way he will step down as the North American Champion will be the day that the experience dies. On that day, he wants to go straight to hell. That is what it would feel like without the NXT North American Champion. That is the way it felt when Roderick Strong beat him. Roderick Strong is one hell of a man and he hears that Strong can go all night too. No matter who he is and if he gets the experience he is asking for, the spotlight will be on and the dream will be over. Strong will know that he is not big enough to ride this ride. Dream says there is someone who might be big enough. If you are under the sound of the Velveteen Dream’s voice, he wants to experience you.

Backstage: Adam Cole

Adam Cole says management is trying to screw over the Undisputed Era. Roderick was supposed to face Velveteen Dream but Pete Dunne is added to the mix. Strong will walk out as the North American Champion. The Street Profits thought it would be a good idea to accept the challenge of Bobby Fish and Kyle O’Reilly. In Toronto, The Undisputed Era will be draped in gold. Adam mentions Johnny’s announcement, but there is nothing more definitive than a one-on-one wrestling match. That is what he beat Gargano in. You call yourself Johnny Wrestling, but after Takeover, you won’t be able to use that name any more.
