Backstage, Commissioner William Regal is holding the contract signing for the NXT Women’s championship match between Asuka and Ember Moon in his office. Regal says he has been looking forward to this match for a very long time. When Regal refers to Moon as Asuka’s challenger, Asuka starts to laugh. Moon says she knows who Asuka is. Asuka is a great champion. Moon adds that she knew that at some point they would clash. Asuka has let her success get to her head. Asuka’s fate may have been to become the greatest NXT champion of all time, but Moon’s fate is to dethrone Asuka. Moon signs the contract. Asuka says she knows who Moon is. And she knows Moon isn’t ready. Moon stands up and tells Asuka that she has been ready for a long time. Asuka laughs and walks away. Regal wishes Moon good luck.
Backstage, Paul Ellering says his Merchants of Destruction Akam and Rezar come from natural law; survival of the fittest. #DIY believes in fairy tale endings. Well, welcome to the Yellow Brick Road from hell. The Revival dreams that they could have Ellering in their corner because he created the algorithm for success in tag team wrestling. All Akam and Rezar have to do is read the book Ellering wrote. The Revival and #DIY’s fate is in their hands.
