Wes Lee heads to the ring. Wes says things were a bit different when he was last in an NXT ring with a microphone, and he admits he was in a dark period of his life and was unsure of whether he would make it back. He says that he loves NXT and that he still wants the NXT North American Championship back, and that he missed NXT while he was gone. Wes Lee talks about how he was back up and training after his surgery and how his main goal was to get back into NXT, and instead of missing nearly a year, he fought to get back in the ring in six months. Before he can think of what to say next, Oba Femi shows up and says he is impressed with him due to the heights he took the North American title to, but tells him that he has taken it as far as he can, and that he will take the title to heights Wes never could. He says that Wes' trials and tribulations prove that Wes has the heart of a lion and the spirit of a warrior, but he is an actual warrior that Wes cannot conquer. He tells Wes that if he wants a title shot, he must prove himself for an opportunity. Wes says Oba checks all the box of what a champion is supposed to look like, and as Wes says that he may not check as many boxes, Ivar shows up and says everyone is happy to have Wes back, including him, as he has been through a career-ending injury. Ivar says that when he came back, he had to fight for everything he got, and says that he knows Wes is not afraid to do the same. He says they both want a shot at Oba Femi before Josh Briggs shows up. Josh Briggs mockingly says everyone in the ring is so emotional regarding the North American title before proclaiming that this is "a man's game," and while he and Oba tore the house down, he did it with broken ribs and he is now healed.

Oba says everyone has very compelling arguments, and tells the three of them to fight among themselves, with the winner getting a title shot.
