From the highest of highs to the lowest of lows. Whether it is his injuries or his wife having five miscarriages before the birth of their daughter. You were my constant.

The Women’s Champions Mandy Rose, Gigi Dolin, and Jacy Jayne make their way to the ring.

Mandy says this Saturday at Stand and Deliver, I was supposed to fight Cora Jade one on one, but Io Shirai and Kay Lee Ray took what she said out of context. I said I would fight any woman. Not at the same damn time. I’m not scared. I am never scared. I think you all need to remember who the hell she is.

It is time to get Bron Breakker’s thoughts on his match on Saturday. Bron says the entire world is descending on Dallas and he will be in the main event of Stand and Deliver. It is the biggest match of his life. His first run as NXT champion was to prove to everyone and himself that he could be the guy. Dolph Ziggler is a poison. Dolph flies down here and gets here on Tuesday, does his segment, and gets out of Dodge. He does not give anything back to the product. Bron says NXT is his life. He trains his ass off and he works every day. WrestleMania weekend is the biggest weekend of the year. Dolph will not leave Dallas as the champion. I don’t care what Dolph thinks about me.
