After the match, Renee Young interviews Adrian Neville in the ring. She asks him to describe how it felt to win the title last week. Adrian says that it was indescribable. He has been wrestling for ten years all over the world, but last week was the most amazing night of his life. The most important thing about last week is the title on his shoulder. This is validation. This is a message to everyone and anyone. That message is anything is possible.

Take one look at him. He is not your prototypical champion. He is not the biggest guy. He looks like some elf-man. He is from a small town in the Northeast of England that no one has ever heard of. And then there is the accent. He asks Renee if she understands what he is saying. He says that it is a struggle and sometimes he does not understand himself. You can question his look or how he sounds, but you cannot question what he does in the ring. The NXT Championship is proof that he is the very best in the ring.

The best thing about last week is that there is No More Bo.

Bo Dallas comes out and he makes his way to the ring. Bo tells Adrian that he has been thinking about their match all week and he has only one thing to say to him. He congratulates Adrian for doing what no man on Earth can do. Adrian beat him. He has told his BoLievers to be good sports. Bo says that Adrian did not pin him. He climbed a ladder like a dad cleaning out his gutters. Bo says that he hopes Adrian has taken enough photos with the title belt because he is cashing in his rematch . . . soon. He will be bringing the title home for all of his BoLievers. He tells Neville that it is Bo Time.

Corey Graves walks in the back as we go to commercial.

We are back and Corey Graves has something to say before his match with Yoshi Tatsu. Corey says that he has something to get off his chest. In the event that this is the first time you are watching NXT on the WWE Network, he wants to introduce himself. They call him Graves.

He wouldn’t have to come out here to introduce himself if he was able to compete on Arrival. Instead he is facing a guy who still thinks he can be a WWE Superstar. There is still something sticking in his head. That is Sami Zayn and his ‘rematch of the year’ against Cesaro. When was the last time he won? Apparently, all you need is heart and chance after chance against a guy you cannot beat. He only needs one shot and one chance in the center of the ring to beat Cesaro. Instead, he is here with Yoshi Tatsu who has not been relevant since . . . ever.
