Keith Lee shows up. Keith Lee says that Dominik Dijakovic is a grown man and that he is going to be just fine, but the man who seems to think that the sound of sand is the sound of a clock - Karrion Kross - has clearly gotten his attention and is wanting his title. Keith Lee tells Kross that all of his "extra bullshit" that he has done means nothing to him, and he is here because he has the balls to face Kross man-to-man. Lee then calls Kross out, but gets Cameron Grimes instead. Grimes says Keith Lee should be talking about him, because if anyone should be upset, it is him, as he gave away the North American Championship before he could take it. He then says that he will take the NXT Championship from him and go straight to the moon, and as he tries to get Lee's attention, Lee grabs him by the throat, throws him into the ring and proceeds to decimate him. Suddenly, Scarlett shows up, and Grimes tries to hit Lee with a Cave-In only to get a Fighting Spirit Bomb. Karrion Kross then shows up on the TitanTron and asks what kind of man chooses to do nothing while his friend suffers. He says Lee did that and now has to live with it, and gives him two more choices: give him a shot at the NXT Championship, or the hard way, to which he says that Lee does not want to know what it is as everyone will suffer. Kross' image disappears, and Lee tells Kross "Name the time and place, and I will whup that ass." Scarlett then leaves.
