Ethan Page & Joe Hendry Segment
Ethan Page: We are live back on the USA Network. And I know you guys all saw what happened last week at The Great American Bash. Ethan Page finally beat Oro Mensah. Wes Lee finally got a spine and dropped all that dead weight. But what we’re most excited about, is your NXT Champion is about to address the NXT Universe, right now. Hit my music. And now you can cut it. Ladies and gentlemen, the NXT Universe wanted so badly for Oro Mensah to dethrone me as NXT Champion. But what Oro found out, and what everyone here found out, and what everyone watching at home found out is, when Ethan Page says it, oh, it comes true.
I said that I was talented, I said I had the skills to back it up, and I call myself, All Ego, and I have every single right to do so. The era of Ego will continue to roll on and roll on strong. No one is taking this championship from Ethan Page. Hell, I heard Wes Lee chirping. Wes, you are not taking this away from All Ego. Hell, Trick Williams, if you manage by some miracle to figure out Pete Dunne, and you want to come at me one more time, you’re not the one that’s going to take this away from All Ego. Hell, Pete, you can break every single finger on my hands, and it will not loosen the grip that I have on the NXT Championship. Because the era of Ego will roll on. Ladies and gentlemen, this is not NXT, it’s NXME.
Joe Hendry: Ethan, apologies for the interruption, but last week I did say, you wouldn’t even need to say my name, I will just appear. So, here I am, and looking at you, I can see how you think you are the talk of NXT. After all, you are the NXT Champion. And at Heatwave, you showed the world when you won that championship, you became the talk of the WWE.
Ethan Page: Hell, yeah. Thank you, Joe. I appreciate you saying that.
Joe Hendry: For about 90 seconds until this face appeared and closed the show. Seriously though, Ethan, incredible performance against Oro Mensah. Once again, you were the talk of the town, but the truth is, the fans left here talking about Wes Lee. So, Ethan, it seems like your ego is seeing one thing, but the reality is.
Ethan Page: Okay. You know what, Joe? I don’t have to sit here, and listen to you, especially your opinions, your thoughts or the fact that you want to come out here and ramble. If you ask me, I think what you should do is, take your victory from last week, get your ass back to TNA. Because if I’m being honest with you, if I’m being honest with you, Joe, I don’t even know why you’re still hanging around NXT.
Joe Hendry: Ethan, I’m here for the same reason everyone is, to win the NXT Championship.
Ethan Page: Of course you are. I mean, it makes sense, everyone believes in Joe Hendry, right? Yeah. TNA clearly believes in Joe Hendry. NXT clearly believes in NXT. All the people here tonight, everyone watching at home, the entire world believes in Joe Hendry. The only problem is, I don’t. You know what do I believe? I believe that your song, yeah, it makes me sick to my stomach every single time I listen to it. I also believe that you are on the 14th minute of your 15 minutes of fame. And you know what I believe the most? With my heart of hearts, Joe, I believe that if you are silly enough to come after me and my NXT Title, I will expose you for the flash in the pan that you are.
Joe Hendry: Ethan, you can call me a flash in the pan, a one-hit wonder, but I am no overnight success. I’ve been grinding for ten plus years. And everywhere I’ve gone, I’ve made believers out of everyone who has watched me perform, and everyone who has faced me. And I’ve made believers out of Hall of Famers like, Kurt Angle. Booker T is the president of the Joe Hendry Fan Club. Ethan, your boss, HBK, Shawn Michaels believes in Joe Hendry. Ethan, I will make a believer out of you when I take the NXT Championship. And when I do, I’m going to take it to London, Paris, and Tokyo. America, Scotland, Canada and Mexico.
The rest of Joe Hendry’s theme song plays. Wes Lee SuperKicks Hendry to close this segment.
– Wren Sinclair interrupts Charlie Dempsey’s sparring session. She’s looking forward to Charlie bringing the Heritage Cup back to The NQCC. Charlie tells Wren to stay out of his way.

Trick Williams Promo
Okay, Pete, let’s talk about it. You said I haven’t figured you out, yet, but I will. Because Trick Williams solves problems. I fix issues. Problem, best friend stabs me in the back, solution, I walk out of the biggest show in NXT history with my hand raised high. Issue, I can’t beat The Red Dragon, solution, I become the new NXT Champion. And the truth is, Pete, we’re more similar than we realize. Yeah, I heard your story about how you were 18 years old, and you got beat up on the bus. Well, I got jumped at 18, too, except I was making plays. Turns out that the upperclassmen don’t like it when a freshman comes in and he balls early. So, some teammates decided to throw rocks at my car. They didn’t know that I was on the inside, and they took off running to the dorm room. And I followed them up there, then I popped off just like Trick Williams always does, running up to three dudes in a small room, it didn’t make no sense. Yeah, it didn’t go well for me, but let’s just say, I figured it out. By the end of that year, each one of those dudes hold the L, believe that. I may not have the NXT Title, but I’m still looking to be the man around here in NXT. So, Pete, I’m not coming to you for advice, I’m coming for a rematch. One lost is not going to scare me off. One way or another, I’m going to figure your ass out.

Wes Lee, Pete Dunne, Joe Hendry Segment
Wes Lee: Hey, look, I get it. Last week shocked the world. Honestly, I shocked myself, too. You see, like, I believed that I was going to win the tag team titles with my best friend. But Zach let me down, again. Now, you see, this goes back to two years ago, when Zach first let me down. One of the greatest tag teams in NXT history, done. MSK was dead. And when all of that happened, everybody was feeling sad for Zach, but they were feeling sorry for me. They doubted me. Saying things like, what is Wes going to do now? Is he going to find a new tag team partner? I mean, everybody only had me pegged as a tag team guy, so it only made sense. But I dried my tears, I picked myself back up, and I busted my ass to become the greatest North American Champion of all-time.
Some of y’all cheer that, some of y’all boo that. You all witnessed it, firsthand. But Zach and Trey were not here. They abandoned me. They reunited in TNA, and they absolutely killed it, while I broke my back trying to become a top star here in NXT. And, you see, all of us, we all inspire to reach greatness together. We all wanted to have a legacy that lived beyond all of our years, but it was I, and I alone that reached that greatness. You see, y’all don’t know this, but Zach does. Zach, I’m just done being your caretaker, dog. I’m done worrying about what you’re going to say or do. I was the one that kept everything together when we were The Rascalz. I was the one driving us from city to city for our shows. I was the one squashing the beefs when you were being too childish.
I was the one waking you up for your flights, so that you didn’t miss them. I’m tired of taking care of you. Now, where I want to go, I know I that I can’t have my best friends riding my coattails. And I know that the only reason why they came back was for the WWE rub. And more importantly, I truly know how this is about to go. Zach, I know you and I are about to have a match, I know you desperately want to get your hands on me. No Mercy is coming up, and I feel like the title is fitting. But the thing is, when we have our match, you’re going to learn, first-hand, that everything that I’ve said here tonight rings true. I’m going to show you no mercy, dog, when I beat the living hell out of you. Once all of that is done, you and Trey can go back to TNA, and have a wonderful career as a TNA Wrestler, while I inspire and focus on bigger and better things, like that NXT Championship. So, on behalf WWE Superstar Wes Lee, I wish you the best on all of your future endeavors.
Pete Dunne: Look at this. I’m actually impressed. Because finally someone around here has started to figure it out. But don’t get too carried away, mate, because last week, I beat Trick, and now my eyes are fixed firmly on that NXT Championship.
Joe Hendry attacks Wes Lee from behind. Hendry uppercuts Lee. All hell starts breaking loose in the ring to close this segment.
– Kelly Kincaid had a backstage interview with Axiom and Nathan Frazer. Will we see another successful title defense tonight? It’s no secret that they haven’t been on the same page as of late, but that’s a thing of the past. They’re not going to be distracted by their own individual goals. They are locked in on tonight’s main event. Chase U did bring the fire at Heatwave. Axiom is certain the result will remain the same.

Brooks Jensen & Shawn Spears Segment
It’s been documented, I was in a dark place. Spiraling out of control. I hit rock bottom. Some people say that they were looking out for me. Those were empty words. But there was one man that vouched for me in every sense. He stook his neck out for me to get another shot. He told not what I wanted to hear, but what I needed to hear. I was doing dumb and immature things and I’m better than that. He made sure I got home safe, every night, no matter what I was doing. This place is cutthroat. Friends are turning on each other. People are out for themselves. Well, I finally got someone looking after me besides Brooks Jensen. He was a leader, a mentor to me. Does that work?
