“Then. Now. Forever.” The WWE video leads us into the show.
A video recaps Keith Lee defeating Adam Cole in a Winner Take All match to retain the NXT North American Championship and win the NXT Championship.
NXT Champion and NXT North American Champion Keith Lee makes his way to the ring. He has the ring announcer do his announcement again. The last few months have been difficult and trying. We’ve all had struggles, difficult times, sadness, and suffering. Lee understands losses, hurt, and pain. Lee wants to point out that there’s something so incredible special that can occur when we are in this ring. Lee feels it not just through the people here and the ring announcer. He feels it when he’s standing here with these championships and now he stands before us as not just the North American Champion, but also the NXT Champion.
Lee wants to highlight that he is not in disbelief and has not fooled himself. It’s back to reality. There’s an entire locker room of some supporters, friends, and enemies. They want the same opportunity that he has managed to earn. In the celebration, he has to celebrate the fact that there is an understanding. This wasn’t done on his own. Opportunity and chances created this. Lee knows he is not a self-made man. Tim Brooks was more than just a trainer for him. Tim Brooks was like a father and he believed in him when no one else did. The buck doesn’t stop there. He didn’t do this alone. When he says NXT Universe, they made sure and welcomed him with the most open arms. They told the people that Keith Lee is limitless and sing to the world with all the passion, love, and energy telling the entire world to bask in his glory. Now the world does, but that’s not the end. There’s one more person that has been playing a pivotal part in this. Lee saw him backstage and knows this person is at a point where they’re trying to figure out their career in WWE. Lee isn’t just celebrating for himself, Tim Brooks, and the NXT and WWE Universe. Lee wants to have a talk with his #1 frienemy… Dominik Dijakovic… let’s talk.
Dominic Dijakovic makes his way to the ring. Dijakovic says he is so proud of Lee and says this is about him. Lee says this is about Dijakovic as well. It’s about the two of them. Dijakovic may not realize it, but the competition between him and Dijakovic propelled him to many opportunities. Dijakovic tested his limits like no one else has. The best way to represent the championships is competition. Lee had a talk with Mr. Regal and had a suggestion he agreed with. Perhaps the first challenger for these championships should be Domink Dijakovic. Dijakovic looks pleased. Dijakovic asks if it’ll be for both titles. Lee says, “Absolutely.” Dijakovic asks when he wants to do this. Lee says his idea was to do it… he’s already in his gear, so tonight! Dijakovic looks surprised. Lee silences him and tells him to say, “Yes.” Dijakovic says, “Yes!” They pose together.
