Paul Heyman makes his way into the ring. Heyman says that he has come here because it is time for him to start scouting a new Paul Heyman guy. He has been blown away by everything that he has seen in NXT. While he appreciates those who are kind enough to chant ECW at him, he is not here to live off the past, but scout for the future. The future is right here in NXT. In that locker room, there is someone who is the next Paul Heyman guy. There is the next Paul Heyman. There is also the next Brock Lesnar. In that locker room, there is someone who can own up to the hype and be the next Intercontinental Champion like Curtis Axel.
Axel makes his way to the ring. Heyman says that everyone is in awe, basking in perfection, but they are wrong because Curtis Axel is better than perfect. As they travel through the Sunshine State, there is not a human being in Florida who is man enough to take the Intercontinental Title from Curtis Axel.
The music of Big E Langston hits and he makes his way to the ring. Big E thanks Heyman for joining everyone tonight. He is man enough to beat Axel tonight. Curtis Axel says that he is shocked at Langston’s comments. If Langston wants a shot at the title, he has it. But, it won’t happen tonight. Let’s do it on Thanksgiving. What about Christmas, because it is a huge show for NXT. Big E tells Axel to shut up. Defend the title tonight or he will prove to everyone that he is not man enough to hang at NXT.
