Winner: Aiden English

Back from commercial and Sami Zayn comes down to the ring. He picks up the mic and talks about how he's obsessing over his two out of three falls match against Cesaro. He says he is stuck in the moment and can't move on. He was a moment away from winning and can't figure out where he went wrong.

Cesaro's music hits and he comes out on the stage. He asks Zayn to stop and tells him it's starting to sound pathetic. Cesaro comes down into the ring and says that there is nothing Zayn could have done that would have made a difference. That match was always his to win. He says that he is better than Zayn, and that Zayn is driving himself crazy. Cesaro says that the fact that he is better than Zayn doesn't mean he won't have a great career. He will have a great career down in NXT. Cesaro says that Zayn can beat anyone he wants, but not him. Cesaro tells him to get over it.

Zayn thanks him for the analysis of his inner psyche. He says that he and Cesaro go back a long time. He respects Cesaro and calls him a workhorse and a true competitor. He says that it's strange Cesaro will fight anyone anywhere, but won't fight him. Cesaro asks how many times is it going to take him beating him to realize that he is better. Zayn says he just has to beat him once more. If Cesaro wins, he just confirms what he already knew, that he is better than Sami Zayn. But maybe it won't go down like that, and maybe Cesaro is afraid that since they bring out the best in each other, his best can't beat Zayn one more time.

Winner: CJ Parker

Parker takes up a mic. He asks why the crowd doesn't love him. He asks if they know what he does for them. He reduces, reuses, and recycles. He drives a fuel efficient Ford Fiesta because he cares about the Earth, and the people boo him for that. He should boo the crowd because they melt his polar ice caps, put holes in the ozone, and cut down his trees. The world is going down the tubes and it's the NXT Universe's fault because they're incapable of loving. They don't love him, the world, or themselves. From this moment forward, he doesn't love the crowd either.
