We are reminded that the Women's Tag Title Match will be next week.  The NXT Women's TItle will be defended in two weeks.

Adam Cole makes his way to the ring.

Adam looks at what happened last week.

He says he had every intention of explaining why I did what I did to Kyle, but after watching that footage, I feel sick to my stomach.  The NXT Championship is very important to me, especially the guys in the Undisputed Era.  He says he does not like the guy he has become.  He was pissed off that Kyle got opportunity after opportunity and continued to fail.  That does not excuse his actions.  After watching that footage, I am ashamed of myself.

Adam tells Kyle,he knows Kyle is at home watching and he wishes they could be having this conversation face to face and man to man, but we can't.  We can't because of me.  You know me better than anybody in the world and  you know I hate to admit when I am wrong.  You should be in this ring, but instead I made a stupid, stupid mistake and I feel sorry for it.  

Adam tells Kyle he is so, so sorry and I will do everything in my power to fix it.  If I can't, I will try.  

Roderick Strong comes out and he asks Adam if he feels bad now.  You didn't feel bad for the last ten days without telling me what you were going to do.  For what you did to Kyle and what you did to us.  The Undisputed Era was built on trust, love, and brotherhood.  We would do whatever it took to have each other's back but you shattered that trust.  I need you to look at me and I need you to understand this.  Kyle is going to heal.  When Kyle heals, I don't know if I can save you from what Kyle is going to do to you.

Finn Balor's music plays and he makes his way to the ring and he takes Cole down and punches Cole.  Strong pulls Balor out fo the ring and Balor punches and kicks Strong.  Cole with a super kick to Balor.
