- Ricochet out with a mic, says that it's his mission to make sure people remember and talk about him. He continues that there is one thing on his mind (and it's not socks! The fans were kind of ripping on his dress attire tonight) it's the NXT Championship. Out comes The Veleveteen Dream and says "No!" and wonders who gave Ricochet the authority to ask for title matches. "Babe, I'm gonna need you to take a step back." He says Ricochet was right, there is one man, one experience, and Ricochet is looking at him.
