He says that this is his world and that he is not leaving the ring until he beats up all of his opponents from Sunday's match. Kyle O'Reilly shows up and says that Kross has thin skin and a vein in his head that is about to burst because he is insecure.

Cole says he does not even have to beat Kross to become NXT Champion and prove that Kross' championship reign is one big disappointment. After O'Reilly says Cole is "too much of a bitch" to kick things off in the ring, Kross asks O'Reilly who he is. O'Reilly slaps Kross in the face, and this starts a brawl where everyone fights each other as well as members of security who try to stop the brawl. Kross eventually comes out on top, but is superkicked out of nowhere by Adam Cole, who hits Kross with the Last Shot. Adam Cole then raises up the NXT Championship to end the show.
