Regal says Kidd has been beat by Neville twice for the NXT Title. Natalya says the last title shot was a Fatal 4-Way, but Regal says that Kidd was the one who got pinned. Natalya says that Kidd deserves another chance and that he can prove himself with one more opportunity. Regal says that he will give Kidd another chance, but its his last chance.

We see video from earlier this week at the WWE Performance Center with the Jersey Boys & Carmella. Enzo asks Carmella why would she tell people that she was Enzo’s sister.

Enzo tries to put his arm around Carmella, but Carmella has none of that, shooing Enzo off. Carmella asks where the ring is because she wants to train and knock these chicks out. Enzo says that Carmella is not getting into the ring because first, she has to get in shape. Enzo says that Carmella isn’t built like a pear, but she was a hairdresser. You’re hairdresser hot, but not exactly diva hot. Carmella walks off as Enzo starts up the treadmill. Cass says that Enzo needs to stop talking to women like that. Enzo says he knows everything there is to know about women. Cass asks then why has Enzo never had a girlfriend? Enzo says its because he refuses to commit himself to failure.

Backstage, Tyson Kidd says that as usual, my wife’s heart is in the right place, it really is, but I’m Tyson Kidd, my actions speak louder than any words. I don’t need anybody, especially my wife, requesting title shots on my behalf. If I want a title shot, I’ll simply ask. Adrian Neville, he still has that NXT Title and I’m gonna take that way from him. I’m gonna take that NXT Title and all the power it possesses. You see, this is my last chance at that NXT Title, which actually puts all the power in my court. Adrian Neville has lost 2 matches this year and you’re looking at the guy who beat him both times. I am the next NXT Champion, FACT!
