— Jacy Jayne walks to the ring with Jazmyn Nyx and Fallon Henley.
Jacy says wow and isn’t this picture worth a million bucks. She says it does not matter what you do because she runs women’s wrestling. Not so bad for a third wheel or the most beatable champion in history. Not only is she your NXT champion but she is the Knockouts Champion. Two division, two brands and the one at the top is not Jordynne Grace, Masha Slamovich, or you top free agent or indie darling. It is her. The best part is that she did it all herself, without any help or support.
You all tried to write her off. Now look at her. She walked into Slammiversary, the biggest PPV in history, and she walked out with the title. Everyone wants to talk about having their names written in the history books and it has turned into a wrestling cliché. Look at your double champ because there is nothing cliché about her.
The Lash Legend Tsunami Alert sounds and she comes out.

Lash says you are on the top and you are going to downward spiral real fast. She says it is time for her moment. It is time for her to Lash Out. At Evolution, they were talking about one person, and it wasn’t you, it was her. She eliminated Nia Jax and Nikki Bella. She showed she is the most dominant force, not just in NXT, but in WWE. If she can go against the best of the best on Raw and Smackdown, she can come after one of those title.
Jaida Parker interrupts and she makes her way to the ring. She tells Lash that she cannot take the flowers from Lash for what she did in the battle royal. This is NXT and she has a direct line to that championship. It doesn’t matter if they get in her way or the back of the line, she is the walking reality check. She is the future of the division.
Jacy says she will let them hash this out.

Trick says the man carrying two brands has finally arrived. He says he is here to spin some facts. On Sunday, he went to Long Island and he main evented the biggest show TNA ever had. He says he beat two of TNA’s best. With him breaking the record and beating two of TNA’s best, that has to make him the greatest TNA champion of all time. He says he knows they don’t like him at TNA. He is dropping anyone who gets in his way. Last week, the boys from LFG got in his way and they stood in front of Trick. They got too big for their britches and he told them to get out of his way.
He says they snitched on him and they told their coach on Trick. He says they called the Undertaker. Trick says Undertaker is one of the greatest. He is in the Hall of Fame for a reason, but you never held down two brands at the same time. He says that LFG has made the Undertaker soft. He says he is the only man with the Kahunas to call out the Undertaker.

Trick says it is.
Taker says Trick has it all, except one thing . . . respect. You have that swagger. Taker says he keeps up with everybody. You ain’t the same guy with that TNA that you were with the NXT Championship. Taker says he watched that guy scratch and claw to the top. That guy was hungry and he had that dog in him. Taker says that ain’t him. Taker tells him that you can have the whole package, all of the talent in the tool box, but with your attitude, it ain’t a matter of you losing the title, it is when. That attitude is going to be your downfall. Taker says that is when the wall start crumbling down. Taker says he has seen it too many times.
Taker says Trick’s attitude is rotten and that attitude is exactly what he tries to teach to his LFG team.
Trick says he doesn’t care about Taker’s LFG team. You are a legend and no one on your team is a superstar like him. No one in NXT is a superstar like him. No one in the WWE is a super star like him.
Taker asks if that is right. Taker says he has one piece of advice for Trick. He says he is a little too light in the ass to step up to an OG. Taker asks if you want to dance with the devil, he can turn that switch real quick. When he does, he will make Trick famous.

In the Arena:
We are back and Ethan is in the ring.
He says today marks the 56th day as the greatest North American to hold the North American championship. Seventeen Americans before him had the privilege to be North American champion. His plan is to bring more honor, dignity, pride, and class than all seventeen combined. He says he can do it because of who he is and where he comes from. His parents migrated to North American from the former Yugoslavia. He got to travel around and see every city with a bingo hall or arena from coast to coast. If his family made other decisions, he might have ended up like all of you.
Ethan says he was born . . . he reveals a Canadian flag and points out that he is Canadian.
Going forward, this chamiponship will not represent the continent of North America. This title represents an absolute lie. It should represent the pure dominance of Canada over the United States, Mexico, and every other country. Ethan says he was born in Canada and made in the USA so that makes him the greatest North American alive.
Ethan tosses the title to the floor. He says it gives him the honor to bring his nation great pride. To claim yourself as the North American Champion, it will come with the Canadian standards. They do things with pride and honor. That is just their athletes. He says their civilian life is better. Their food is better and healthier. Their women are hotter and healthier. Their air is better. He says Houston stinks. He says he accepts them for what they are. He says Houston is in Texas, which is in the United States in his North America. As your North American champion, he takes pride in holding this, but his pride as champion pales in comparison to his pride as a Canadian citizen surrounded by mediocrity.
Ethan says he would like to ask all of you to stand for the Canadian National Anthem.
Ethan says he will not have an American butcher the anthem so he will sing it himself.
Santino Marella interrupts.
Ethan tells everyone to shut up because they are ruining his celebration.
Santino says that Ethan has a big match. Santino says he is from Italy and he wants to follow in the tradition of many great Italians. He says he lives in Canada and they do not think like Ethan. He says the garbage coming out of his mouth makes him sick. He says that Ethan is a bumhole boy.
Ethan tells Santino to go back to TNA because this is the champ’s show.
Santino says he is friends with Ava and he heard what you were saying. Santino says Ethan said one thing that is correct. The title should be held by someone with honor, class, and pride. Santino says he has those qualities and he will see Ethan next week.
Ethan says they do it now. Ethan turns around and sees the Cobra so he leaves the ring.

Evans says he is trying to figure out what is next. Inamura says the NXT Championship is next for him.
— Myles tells Charlie he thinks he knows what is best and he tells him to go away. Bubba Ray tells Charlie to tell him to go. He hugs Wren and he tells her she did great. Bubba says they had a match that was controversial. He says he is going to talk to Ava for another match where if Tavion wins, he is on his own. He says if Charlie wins, he has to stay in the group and he does it with a smile on his face. They agree. Bubba tells Lexis he is there. Lexis says he is a big fat phony and he isn’t deaf. He says Myles is doing this for sympathy. He says if Myles is deaf, then he is blind. Myles says people wish that Lexis was mute.

7/22 NXT Preview
Oba Femi is set to defend the NXT Championship tonight in a Triple Threat Match against former allies Josh Briggs and Yoshiki Inamura. Tensions flared after Briggs expressed frustration last week on NXT, questioning why Inamura was granted a title opportunity at The Great American Bash on July 12 before he was. Femi responded by accusing Briggs of jealousy and stating that Inamura had earned another chance at the gold.
Meanwhile, after retaining the TNA World Championship in a Triple Threat Match against Joe Hendry and Mike Santana at Slammiversary, Trick Williams now shifts his focus to a face-to-face encounter with WWE Hall of Famer and “WWE LFG” coach The Undertaker. The two sides clashed verbally on NXT last Tuesday, prompting The Undertaker to issue a public warning to Williams via social media for disrespecting his team — Bayley Humphrey, Dani Raye, Shiloh Hill, and Drake Morreaux.
Blake Monroe will make her in-ring debut tonight in a match against Wren Sinclair of the No Quarter Catch Crew. Monroe recently betrayed Jordynne Grace during her NXT Women’s Championship match against Jacy Jayne at The Great American Bash and has since invited Grace to watch her debut from ringside.
Also scheduled is a singles match between Ricky Saints and Jasper Troy. Troy attacked Saints after being unintentionally knocked into during Saints’ Falls Count Anywhere North American Championship match against Ethan Page at The Great American Bash.
