Page stated that for him to accomplish something that miraculous in such a short time, it would take determination and adaptability.

After some more words mocking the fans faces at the end of Heatwave and how everyone in this room and locker room hates him, Page stated that this was why he has security around the ring with him. Page stated that this keeps any “overzealous degenerates” from coming to the ring after him and he does not have time for delinquents. This led to Oro Mensah running out only to be quickly stopped by security and taken away. After some more words, Page talked about how he got to go home to main event “one of the greatest shows in NXT history and he walked out as champion. Page stated that he promises as your NXT Champion that none of these “outsiders” will come to NXT and ruin what we have. After some more words, Page directed his attention towards Trick Williams and proclaimed The Whoop That Era is officially done and we have entered the Era of Ego.
