Both men admit that they have spent more time in the gym for their showdown, and Apollo says he is the only guy who can take the NXT Championship from him.

During the match, Indus Sher (Veer Mahaan and Sanga) show up to watch from ringside.

We hear from Alba Fyre, who says that Isla Dawn's NXT debut cost her and that whatever spirit told her that messing with her was a good idea must have it out for her, as it will lead to her ultimate demise.
