After the match, Wyatt throws Tatsu out of the ring, then calls Harper & Rowan into the ring. Wyatt wants video shown on the Titantron of their loss last week to British Ambition. Wyatt says that they let him down last week and how could they, after everything Wyatt has done for them. Wyatt says to Rowan that Harper is his brother, he protects you, you love him you lean on him when you need protection and where was he? He was the one that cost us the NXT Tag Team Titles. How do you feel now? Hit him now! Rowan slaps Harper and Harper wants to go after him, but Wyatt holds him back as the crowd is chanting “Hug it out”. Wyatt says to Harper that he is his general, I lead on you. Doesn’t your back hurt from carrying him (Rowan) your whole life? Don’t you want vengeance? How do you feel? Hit him! Harper slaps Rowan now and then the two begin slugging it out as Wyatt is yelling for them to fight it out. Finally, Wyatt says that’s enough. Wyatt says to them, how do you feel? That taste in your mouth of loss. I don’t want you to have this feeling again. I’m proud of you boys.

Back from commercial, Tony Dawson is in the ring and he introduces the injured Tyson Kidd. Tyson comes out on crutches as the crowd chants “welcome back”.

Kidd says he was competing on a WWE live event and he did a dive that caused him to tear every ligament in his knee. However, before he knew what the prognosis was, Kidd says he asked the doctors to let him compete the next night because they didn’t know the extent of the injury at that time. Kidd says he has heard a lot of rumors of when he’ll be back, but know one thing, he will be back. Dawson mentions CM Punk’s comment of Kidd being one of the most “under-appreciated work-horses” in WWE recently. Kidd says love or hate Punk, you have to respect him. For him to say that, Kidd says he’s flattered. A work-horse is not just a catch-phrase, its a mentality, its a way of life, its the way he deals with everyday situations. Being a work-horse is something Kidd says he was brought up to be since the Dungeon to be the best he can be.
