Tony D'Angelo makes his way to the ring. D'Angelo says it has been seven months since he got an opportunity to talk to the fans, and that he has some things to get off his chest. He says that the fans know his past in NXT and that he was a happy man a year ago who was surrounded by family, friends and people he could look in the eye and say that he has their back. D'Angelo says that this was all taken away from him, and that was the wake-up call he needed. He says that when you are good at what he is involved in, your life changes and you gain friends and family as well as a huge responsibility. He says that he needed to sit in a dark room and remember who he was on his own, and remember what he did before he came to NXT and remember what he did best: bouncing people's heads off the mat. D'Angelo says he returned to NXT the way that he did to keep people guessing and ensured that nobody knew anything, then says that this is a selfish business as well as a selfish time in NXT, which aligns exactly with his plans. He then says he has two reasons for coming back. One is punishing DarkState (Dion Lennox, Cutler James, Saquon Shugars, Osiris Griffin) for taking everything from him and taking everything from them in response. The other will be revealed when he is done with DarkState.

Jacy says she has been carrying the women's division and that she was a better double champion than Sol Ruca was, then says that is time to kill the hype and defend the NXT Championship against Sol Ruca. Zaria shows up and says that Jacy sicking her "lap dogs" on her was not enough, then says that Sol Ruca has had plenty of opportunities and that Jacy should be worried about her ripping the NXT Women's Championship out of her hands. Jacy says that Zaria never gets any opportunities because Sol Ruca has proven herself and is loved by the fans while Zaria is only tolerated.
