A video package chronicling Kyle O’Reilly’s journey to NXT.
Backstage, Johnny Gargano and Candice LeRae say it was karma that tore Tegan Nox’s ACL. Gargano adds that she broke his TV so LeRae tore her ACL. It’s a fair trade. At Takeover, they are going to become the only couple in WWE with titles.
In-Ring Segment: Cameron Grimes
Grimes complains about missing out on the NXT title match. Grimes makes up his own match. He’s handpicked all of his opponents tonight. First up is Joey Pistachio who is in the 85-pound weight limit. Grimes immediately hits the Cave In and pins Pistachio. Grimes wants his next opponent, John Strong. Strong’s music plays but he doesn’t come out. Someone tosses Strong onto the stage. It’s Ridge Holland. Grimes tells Holland that he likes his work but he isn’t part of this. Holland headbutts Grimes. Holland tosses Grimes clear across the ring. Holland stomps Grimes for a minute straight. The referee rings the bell.
Backstage, Austin Theory complains about Kyle O’Reilly getting a shot at the NXT title before him. Theory says O’Reilly isn’t the future of NXT. O’Reilly should be trying to catch up to him.
To the ? or crashing back to ? ?
Better luck next time "Joey Pistachio." #WWENXT @CGrimesWWE pic.twitter.com/29AfHYg8q6
