Suddenly, Grayson Waller shows up in his Hummer honking a horn, interrupting Roxanne and making the opening to tonight's show all about himself. Roxanne has to yell at Grayson to shut up and tell him that he was not the only Iron Survivor, then says she did it before him and did it from the #1 spot. Grayson Waller calls Roxanne "Booker T's favorite wrestler" says Roxanne was #1 because she had to win before bedtime and that he was partying after his match, then admits that they had the biggest wins of their career and that Roxanne has peaked at 21 and will never beat Mandy Rose.

Grayson Waller asks Bron how his jaw is feeling before bragging about his two falls and becoming the next NXT Champion. When Waller says he is about making moments, Bron says they can make a moment right now and chases Waller out of the arena. Suddenly, Roxanne is attacked from behind by Mandy Rose, who tells Roxanne that she will never be champion.

In footage from earlier today, JD McDonagh learns he is cleared in the trainer's room when he notices The Creed Brothers (Julius and Brutus Creed) show up.

The New Day (Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods) head to the ring. Woods mentions that Kofi Kingston is now a Triple Crown Winners as a singles and tag team competitor, and that he has the most reigns in WWE history at fifteen.

He says that he was the first person to graduate from the Performance Center, and that it never sat right with him that he never won an NXT championship until now. As The New Day are about to celebrate, Pretty Deadly (Kit Wilsona nd Elton Prince) show up. Kit Wilson says that The New Day ruined their Christmas, but Woods says they would never ruin Christmas because some guy dressed like Santa is in the audience.
