Apollo Crews heads to the ring. Apollo says that for the last year, he would sit and ask his kids what they thought, and his kids told him "It's not you." He then says that since his NXT return, he is proud to say his kids watch him every week and it brings excitement to his kids and to him. He says this excitement has brought a spark back to his career, then tells his kids that he loves him. Apollo then says that NXT is different and that there is a group of young and super-hungry athletes ready to take advantage of any opportunity. He says that he has asked what would happen if he had a match with Tony D'Angelo or Nathan Frazer, then says he will be watching the NXT Championship match tonight because he and Cameron Grimes would make magic in the ring. Suddenly, Giovanni Vinci shows up and says Apollo left him off his list, then says it is only because Apollo knows he could beat him and that he can not only keep up with Apollo, but outperform him in style. Apollo tells Vinci to get in the ring, but Vinci says Apollo has everyone fooled but him and that he is dressed for a night out tonight. He then says that next week, Apollo will find out who the best athlete is and will have seven days to have a good excuse for his kids.
