Oba Femi heads to the ring. Oba says that his match at Vengeance Day is more of a handicap match than a Triple Threat Match, as A-Town Down Under (Grayson Waller and Austin Theory) will try to team up to take his title only for their egos to get in the way, as it is every man for themselves. A-Town Down Under shows up, and says Grayson thought better of Oba and that the pressure is getting to him. Theory puts Grayson on a pedestal as "a pillar of NXT" and says other people get all the credit. Theory then says that Grayson Waller will help him win the NXT Championship. Grayson then puts Theory on a pedestal before stating that Theory will be riding shotgun when he becomes champion. Oba cannot believe what he is hearing, and Grayson says the NXT Championship means a lot to him and that he will do what it takes to win it, but Theory calls him out for that and says he has never won the the title, either, but Grayson says "No one cares." Theory roasts Grayson for never holding a singles title in WWE, and Grayson roasts Theory for being on the floor when he held the and says Theory should thank him for saving his career. Theory then says he will do what it takes to win the title. A-Town Down Under agree they will do just that and decide who will be champion, then Grayson says that Oba's plan did not work and that he will go on to become champion. Theory confronts Grayson, then ducks so that Grayson can hit Oba so they can double-team him. Grayson picks up the NXT Championship, then Theory takes it and looks at it before laying it on top of Oba Femi.

He says Je'Von has a full career ahead of him, but cannot help himself and will risk everything to get his hand on him. He says Je'Von has "a million dollar smile and a ten cent brain" and that what will happen to him is not his fault, and that Je'Von has a target on his jaw.
