Cora Jade heads to the ring. Cora says she should have stabbed Roxanne Perez in the back sooner, as she has been the face of the NXT women's division for the past year after the fans declared her the next big breakout star. When this happened, she got Roxanne through the door, but then the fans' attention went from her to Roxanne, and Roxanne was declared the next big breakout star. On top of this, she became a champion along with Roxanne. She then says that not even thirty minutes later, Roxanne wanted to cash in her NXT Women's Breakout Tournament contract and become NXT Women's Champion when she wanted the women's tag titles to be the ones that mattered. Cora then felt that their friendship was a lie and that Roxanne used her to get into NXT, and calls Roxanne "selfish." She then brags about attacking Roxanne in the parking lot, and that her plan was about to play out perfect until Roxanne ruined her moment. She then says it felt so good when she hit Roxanne in the back, and that the look on Roxanne's face was priceless. After declaring that Roxanne will not be able to compete due to a broken heart, nobody will stand in her way of winning tonight's battle royal. As for her half of the NXT Women's Tag Team Championships, all it represents is a lie. She declares this the end of a naive Cora and the beginning of "the real generation of Jade" before throwing the championship belt in a trash can.
Backstage, McKenzie Mitchell interviews Xyon Quinn, who congratulates Cora Jade for dumping Roxanne Perez, as this is not a "we" kind of business.

He says it will be the biggest match of his career, and says that despite his accomplishments, Apollo Crews could not cut it in the big leagues as he did not have the "X-Factor" like he does, and next week, the "X-Factor" will be on full display.
We hear from Indi Hartwell, who says that flying solo has been a wild ride, but history says she has made the right choice as nobody in the women's division can be trusted. She says only woman will face Mandy Rose for the women's title, and that is her.

He says that if McDonagh wanted his attention, he has it, and he will pay for what he did to him. Suddenly, McDonagh shows up on the TitanTron. McDonagh asks how the shoulder is holding up, but Bron tells him to get in to the ring for himself. McDonagh says that he has been studying him and that he is going to dissect him. He then talks about how there are eight major muscles in the shoulder and that they are all important and necessary, then says he knows how to tear tendon from bone and that there is only so much trauma the brain can go through before shutting off. McDonagh asks Bron to ask himself how much he wants to keep the NXT Championship, but Bron tells him to get in the ring and to get his balls from the mannequin behind him if he does not have any. McDonagh says they will meet again, and tells Bron to mind his shoulder until then. Bron says he will take McDonagh's shoulder and beat him over the head with it.
