Oba Femi heads to the ring. Oba Femi says it was set in stone that he would be omnipotent and the embodiment of a war leader, and that he was tested as a young Nigerian prince and dominated his opposition. He says that in NXT, the goal is still the same, and now he is North American Champion and has divine right to rule over the fans and crush everyone who stands in his way to dust. Dragon Lee suddenly shows up. He says he cannot be mad after last week, for Oba Femi was hungry, and says that nobody has made an impact in NXT much like Oba Femi. He says the North American title represents opportunity and that he hopes that Oba Femi will continue the open challenge and hopes to be Oba Femi's first opponent tonight. Oba Femi refuses, saying the open challenges are now closed, and Dragon Lee demands a rematch at Vengeance Day. Oba Femi says he does not get to decide any more, although he may consider it.

Both men insist that they are one who led the team of victory while carrying the other, then Breakker says they will punch their ticket to the Dusty Cup finals. Baron Corbin is not exactly on board with their team name being "The Wolf Dogs" or Bron Breakker thinking about the team in the shower. "Wild Boars" does not go much further, either.
