Backstage, Devin Taylor interviews the BFFs. Devin mentions that the last time we saw Charlotte, she turned on her former friend, Bayley. Charlotte says that thanks to Sasha & Summer, I’ve been the enjoying the benefits of being a BFF. Limosuines, jets, the kind of things you do when you are a part of my family. I don’t understand why you have so many questions about Bayley, who really cares about the “cat lady?” Life isn’t about hugs and headbands. NXT isn’t that way, life isn’t that way. Life is vicious and it will knock you down if you let it. That’s why I’m no longer sweet and inconnent. I dropped the “Ms. Nobody” and joined the somebodies. Summer says that 2014 is the year of the BFFs, starting with my match against Natalya. You’re gonna see the rise of the BFFs and the total destruction of a Diva, if you can even call her that.

I’ve got a bit of a medical situation, but its given me time to think about 2013. 2013 was probably the best year of my career and it has to do with the matches I’ve had here. One match in particular did a lot for me and it was with you, Cesaro. They called our 2/3 falls match the best match all year, but for me, that match was the one black eye I had all year, the one blemish I had on an otherwise great year, the one thing I need to fix. So in case, Cesaro, you can’t read between the lines, this is me asking you for a rematch. “YES” chant by the crowd. Cesaro leaves the ring and walks up to Zayn on the rampway. Cesaro grabs the mic and says no, then walks off.

NXT Champion Bo Dallas comes out for his Banner Raising Ceremony. Bo thanks the crowd for their ovation. I want everybody here and at home to know that your reaction to me is part of the reason why we are here to celebrate this historic moment. I cherish your cheers. When you chant “Let’s Go Bo,” it gives me so much strength and it puts me to bed at night like a warm blanket. Tonight, NXT officials have decided to celebrate the longest reigning NXT Champion in history. No, I’m not talking about Seth Rollins or Big E. Langston, yours truly, Bo Dallas. I didn’t ask for this, but it is a great honor and I humbly accept. I like to thank a couple of family & friends in the audience. My third cousin, Charles. My sister’s college roommate, thanks for coming. And of course, my 4th grade history teacher, Ms. Ellie, you taught me so much. Most of all, I want to thank all of my Bo-lievers and I want to dedicate this banner raising to you. So, drum roll please. The banner is shown and Bo celebrates this.
All of a sudden, Adrian Neville’s music hits and he makes his way to the ring. Bo says he guesses Neville wants to be the first to congratulate him. Neville says not really, but I have come out here for a reason. I come out on behalf of everyone here, all of Full Sail, all of the WWE to say to you to shut up. “He’s a wanker” chants to Bo. Neville says that Bo may have the prilvelige to come out here and annoy everybody, but I’m out here to say I’m gonna take that privilege away from you. Bo says that Neville earned his last title shot by beating a nobody and it took you 4:45 to beat a nobody. I am a champion, it wouldn’t take me that long to beat you. So what you are saying is not only outlandish, crazy, insane, its absolutely pointless.
We see Triple H on the Titantron and says both Bo & Neville made great points and you need someone like me to settle this dispute. I can see why Neville wants another title match because his first match didn’t have a conclusive ending. And Bo, that’s a bold statement that you can beat Neville in 4:45. I’m gonna give you both an opportunity to step up and prove it to the world. Neville will have the opportunity to get a title match and Bo will have the opportunity to make me a “Bo-liever.” If Neville can last 4:45 without Bo beating him, then Neville will receive an NXT Title match on Feburary 27th on the live NXT on the WWE Network. That match starts………..NOW!!
