Welcome to NXT, we are shown the Triple H speech from last week talking about the late Dusty Rhodes. We get a live shot of inside the arena. Hideo Itami walks down to the ring to open the show. He said that he’ll be back better than ever and when he does, he’ll be coming after the NXT title. This leads to Kevin Owens walking out to the stage.
Owens said that that in Tokyo, he’ll be walking out as NXT Champion against Finn Balor. He flubbed one of his lines and recovered nicely by saying that he’s stumbling over his lines like Itami trying to speak English.
He said that he’s here for 2 reasons. He said that he did nothing to Itami and said that if he did attack Itami then he wouldn’t be standing. He said that he wants an apologize for Itami calling him a bad person a few weeks ago.
Itami said that Owens is a great champion, but a horrible human being. Finn Balor came out and attacked Owens on the stage. Rhyno attacked Balor and laid him out on the stage.
