In-Ring: The Schism, Ava Raine

Joe Gacy comes to the ring with Rip Fowler, Jagger Reid, and New Member. Gacy takes off his mask and he says pride and arrogance are commonplace in NXT. Take a good look at the luminaries here and think about the power coming from their unity. They understand that togetherness is the greatest accomplishment. Their mission statement is clear. Remove your mask and join the Schism or be torn down.

Rip takes off his mask and says NXT is a den of selfishness and greed. Fans and superstars put themselves before the greater good. It is simply a reflection of your shortcomings. Only coming together will fix the system. Roots will grow. Let them dry out and so will hope.

Jagger takes off his mask and says wrath is a manipulative state. Negativity affects the personal and social wellbeing. To be truly healthy you must know how to control it. Love brings love. The Schism only builds stronger together as a unit.

Joe says there are people in the world who you think have everything they want but are lost inside. Rip and Jagger learned the path to unity comes from showing their true self. It is time to take your next step. To sit under the Shism’s tree, you must do the same and reveal your true self. Remember there is no going back.

The person takes off their hoodie and mask to reveal herself… The love and acceptance the Schism has given her has removed any preconceived notion of who she is. This family completes her. She is Ava Raine. (She is Simone Johnson, The Rock’s daughter.)

Joe says four roots… one tree.

Cora wasn’t excited about their potential, she was afraid of Roxanne’s. Losing a best friend, I found a new level of belief in myself. I can stand by myself. Friends may come and go, but I have to stay true to myself.
