We see the usual intro, then Adrian Neville makes his way to the ring. Neville talks about losing the NXT Title to Sami Zayn last week. Neville wishes Zayn could be there tonight, but can’t because of what Kevin Owens did. Owens comes out and Neville began ripping on him. Owens says he doesn’t care what Neville has to say, Zayn isn’t here and that is what is most important to him. If Neville wants to fight, he’s got one.
