Velveteen Dream is in the ring. He says "new levels, new devils," and that Finn Balor has "stood [him] up." Suddenly, Adam Cole shows up. Cole says that it is convenient for Velveteen Dream that Finn Balor is nowhere to be found and that Velveteen Dream is weaseling his way to a title shot, but he is reality and that he will never be champion. Cole says he does not know what happened to Finn Balor, but he knows what will happen to Velveteen Dream moments before the rest of The Undisputed Era (Bobby Fish and Roderick Strong) attack Velveteen Dream from behind. Suddenly, Keith Lee shows up and overpowers The Undisputed Era, forcing them to retreat before helping Velveteen Dream up.

We hear from Johnny Gargano and Candice LeRae. Gargano starts by talking about his wedding to Candice, and says that his entire career has been a fairy tale where he has become the heart and soul of NXT and the better man over Tommaso Ciampa. After Candice serves dinner, Gargano says he and Candice feel great and are in reality, and that NXT is a fairy tale that has turned into a wasteland where good people are taken advantage of and the horrible people get all the rewards. He then says he is tired of saying yes to everything while dirtbags like Ciampa get what they don't deserve, then Candice says it has not been any different for her, saying she was a leader for the women's division only to be deserted when she needed them most. Gargano says he and Candace will take what they deserve from now on, as they will no longer be walked on while "horrible people" have everything handed to them and people they thought were friends stabbed them in the back. He says that they will do things their way and rebuild NXT in their image as they eventually reign together as champions.
