Backstage, it is revealed that Kendal Grey has been attacked backstage and that Wren Sinclair is calling for help.
Izzi Dame is in the ring. She regrets trying to turn Tatum Paxley into something else, and says that if Tatum looked in the mirror, she would see the source of her problems. Instead, she had to be the bad guy and break her heart. She says that trying to eliminating Shawn Spears and Niko Vance does not solve her problems, and says that Tatum Paxley cannot be fixed. Izzi then says she was Tatum's cure, not the villain. After Izzi states that she took Tatum out of rock bottom only to put her back there when she refused to evolve, Tatum shows up and tells Izzi that she was listening and that she did care, and that she saw and felt everything. Tatum Paxley then says she is sorry...for Izzi being insecure and losing sight of who she is, saying that she has to put fear in people and hurt them to gain control and that Izzi is too scared to look into the mirror herself. Tatum says she needs friends that have been with her since the start, like the fans, and not friends like Izzi, and while Izzi may have gotten her at Deadline, she is not finished yet. Izzi says that if Tatum listened to her, she would still be NXT Women's Champion, and if Tatum wants to play games, she will play them. When Izzi asks Tatum what her next move is, Tatum challenges Izzi to a one-on-one match at New Year's Evil. Izzi says she is all for this so she can make Tatum lose twice, but after that, "playtime is over." Tatum says Izzi is not in control and that it is not over until she says it is. Tatum then bends backwards to avoid a big boot from behind and lays Izzi out.
