- NXT North American Champion Johnny Gargano headed to the ring in a good mood after defeating Ricochet for the title. Most of the crowd with a "Johnny Champion" chant. The champ says he feels validated and "Johnny Wrestling" is back. Cue NXT Champion Tommaso Ciampa's music. Ciampa stops on the stage and says he's here to celebrate Gargano's moment. Ciampa said Gargano listened, followed the champ's lead and now has the that title. "We own the world," Ciampa says.

He goes down memory road and says this is everything they worked so hard for and this is their moment. Gargano says there is no "our moment" and the only reason he came out at the end of TakeOver was to show him face-to-face he'll never need Ciampa. Velveteen Dream's music hits and he strolls out to tell the champ, "this is cute." He says tonight is not about either of them, it's about the man who took over Phoenix, by simply showing up. Dream says he won the Worlds Collide tournament and he gets to pick which champion he wants.

He first looks at Ciampa and tells says the dream is over Ciampa and "Goldie." Dream heads inside the ring and says he wants Gargano. The champ says while Dream was sitting in the crowd, he was putting on another match of the year and then represented NXT in the Royal Rumble match. "I'm feeling on top of the world right now, and I'm feeling a little dangerous. If you want to use your title opportunity against me. Go for it. I win." Dream says the real question is if he'll be in the ring with "Johnny Champion" or "Johnny Jackass." The two jaw in the ring a bit before Gargano heads up the ramp.
