General Manager William Regal is in the ring in front of a table with a contract on it. He is here to moderate the contract signing for the NXT Championship match between Aleister Black and Andrade "Cien" Almas at NXT TakeOver: New Orleans. Aleister Black shows up first; however, when Andrade "Cien" Almas is supposed to show up, Zelina Vega shows up instead. Zelina Vega says Almas is not here tonight, but she is. She says that if he was, he would destroy Aleister Black until there is nothing left. Aleister fails to pay attention as Zelina states that Almas is waiting until NXT TakeOver: New Orleans to embarrass him. Aleister Black puts his hand in front of Zelina's face, signs the contract, hands it to her, moves the table away, sits down, and says they are now on the same level. Zelina Vega takes this as an insult before telling Aleister that Almas will humiliate him, then signs the contract. Aleister then says Almas is not here because he will come up short and he will not measure up. Zelina then slaps Aleister and tells him to sign the contract right now if he thinks he is ready. Aleister signs, then hands the contract to Regal as Zelina Vega keeps telling Aleister he is nothing. Aleister then says he is happy that Zelina Vega came alone, because he didn't. Candice LeRae then runs out to the ring and goes after Zelina Vega, beating her up both in the ring and at ringside. The brawl then ends up on the commentary table, where Candice LeRae continues to pummel Zelina. She then gets Zelina back into the ring, where she then plants her in the mat with a bulldog.
