It is announced that moments ago, The O.C. ("The Phenomenal" AJ Styles, Luke Gallows, Karl Anderson) have attacked The Undisputed Era (Adam Cole, Bobby Fish, Kyle O'Reilly, Roderick Strong). The O.C. then make their way to the ring, and a member of the ring crew at ringside is attacked in the process. Styles says that if NXT and The Undisputed Era want a war, then they will bring the way to NXT, and since all the champions are out of commission, they are taking over. He then says this is not phenomenal; this is undisputed. Suddenly, Tommaso Ciampa shows up and says that for years, he used to be asked when he is going up to the main roster, then welcomes The O.C. to NXT, which he calls "the main roster." He says that NXT has been and is "the show" in addition to his home, and while he has no problem with them beating up The Undisputed Era, he has a problem with The O.C. trying to take over. Styles mocking asks Ciampa if The O.C. should be worried about him, then says Ciampa is the only one with "big enough balls" to say anything. Suddenly, Keith Lee and Matt Riddle show up, then Ciampa says "It seems to me that we have plenty of balls." Ciampa then tells The O.C. that he, Riddle and Keith Lee might be ready for The Undisputed Era at War Games, but they are going to go to war with The O.C. tonight. Styles tells Ciampa he's on.
