Neville says he will do what he has done on 205 Live and that is domination, domination. Charly asks how NXT prepared him for tomorrow. Neville says NXT is a prominent part of his work, but it is hard to look back on NXT without a little resentment. Corey asks why is there resentment. Neville says NXT built him for success but he did not have that same success when he went to the main roster. Neville says he is pround of what he achieved in NXT and it made him who he is today. He was someone who had a lot to learn at that time.
Corey asks Neville about Aleister Black and Hideo Itami. Neville says he knows both of them well and faced them in the ring. They are dangerous and they kick very hard. He says he looks forward to seeing each man knock each other’s blocks off. Neville says it is silly to negate emotion when you consider what happens in the squared circle. You need to embrace that emotion to take advantage of your opponents. Corey asks Neville about his match against Aleister Black in the UK and what Itami has to look out for. Black is a proficient striker and he was aware of that proficiency so his defense was something he focused on. Neville reminds Corey that he won that match. Charly mentions that Itami is very frustrated while Black is very calm. Neville says emotion can be a problem if you cannot harness it properly.
Corey asks about the Gargano/Almas match. Neville says he sees Johnny Gargano trying to bounce back after betrayal from his tag team partner.

Charly asks what is in Ember’s head to make her be the champion. Carmella says everyone wants to be the one to knock off the champion. Carmella says if Ember wins, she will go down as the one to beat Asuka. Sasha says Asuka is a beast and she is picking Asuka to win. Carmella picks Ember because she wants to see someone dethrone Asuka.

Now NXT is doing shows all over the world but they come back to Brooklyn each year. Corey brings up how Baron did not have a wrestling career before coming to NXT.
