The lights go out and then there is a spotlight in the ring.

A voice is heard in the building speaking in a different language.

Kross appears on the HHHTron and he says we are doing this the hard way.  I haven't seen Regal since I signed.  This is all on you.

We see Kross in the back and people have been knocked out.  Kross says Tick Tock.

We see The Undisputed Era in their dressing room as Bobby and Kyle prepare for their tag title match.

We get an update on the North American Title Match from William Regal.  He says the series has been extraordinary and the chance provided by Keith Lee has provided a benefit.  He says that Dexter Lumis is not medically cleared to participate in the ladder match.  He heard complaints from Johnny Gargano and Finn Balor about not being pinned or submitted so the four men who did not lose their matches will meet in two singles matches to fill out the field for the match.

Santos Escobar, Raul Mendoza, and Joaquin Wilde enter from the side with Fandango.

Escobar says each week Legado del Fentasma comes out and they talk about why lucha libre culture is important and how it is an art not to be exploited for easy merch.  They send Fandango into the ring and they stand over him.

Escobar says every week, Tyler Breeze and Fandango play dress up.  At the Great American Bash, you mocked their culture.  You didn't just spit in the face of their ancestors, their families, and his father.  They spit in his face.  No mas.  The disrespect stops right now.

Tyler Breeze tries to help Fandango but Wilde and Mendoza take care of him and hits a flying boot and side Russian leg sweep combination.

Escobar says anyone who can hear his voice . . . Swerve Scott.  Speak my name again and this will be your future.

We have a video package for the Undisputed Era and how they have controlled the tag team division in NXT since 2017.

We go to commercial.

We are back and Damian Priest is asked about his victory in the parking lot.  Priest says this opportunity was made for him.  He says it does not matter who is in the match, the Reign of Infamy begins.  Priest is asked about Dexter Lumis being out of the match.  Priest says it is a shame.  

Bronson Reed shows up in the parking lot and congratulates Priest on his win and he says he will see him at Takeover.  

Priest tells Reed he has to take any aspirations of winning out of his head at Takeover because this isn't going to be a fluke.  Priest challenges Reed to a match.  Reed tells Priest any time.  Priest says he will see Bronson soon.

Tom Phillips is with Pat McAfee.

Pat says it feels good to be back in the good graces of NXT again.
