We see NXT Commissioner Dusty Rhodes in his office and he says he is happy to present this week the NXT Clash of Champions episode, where there will be 4 title matches on the show.
We see the usual intro, then we go to the 1st title match. Before the match, we see a message on the screen that said that this match was taped weeks ago before Antonio Cesaro lost the US Title. Cesaro gets angry at the fans chanting “Hey” at him (play-off of his old ROH gimmick). Cesaro tells the fans to shut their mouths and give him a round of applause because he is the greatest US champion in history and he will be champion for a long time. Commentators mention that Neville’s tag partner, Oliver Grey, will be out for 6 months or more with a torn ACL after the attack a few weeks ago by the Wyatt Family.
