By Richard Trionfo on 2016-08-10 20:52:00

Bobby Roode comes out of William Regal's office and William thanks Bobby and says he has a contract signing to attend to.  Bobby says this is going to be great.

We are in Winter Park, Florida and your announcers are Corey Graves and Tom Phillips.

William Regal is in the ring with a table and contracts.  He says that in Brooklyn, Bayley will face the woman who beat her for the title, Asuka.  This match will be official when they sign their contract.  William brings out Bayley first.  William then brings out the Women's Champion Asuka.

William says that Bayley has wanted this match since Dallas and he has her sign the contract to get her wish.

Bayley says she has been fighting for this for three and a half years.  She has faced the most successful women in the company and she was always seen as the underdog.  That was until last year in Brooklyn when the underdog became the champion.  That title became a part of her.  If Brooklyn was her dream, then Dallas was her nightmare.  Bayley says she was not ready or prepared for how tough that match would be.  Bayley says that she is ready.  Asuka, you are the toughest woman she has been in the ring with, but the Asuka mystique is gone.  She will go to Brooklyn and do what no one has done.  She will beat Asuka and become a two time champion.  Bayley signs the contract.

Asuka says Bayley does not have what it takes.  She says she respects Bayley and she offers her hand.

Bayley says she respects Asuka but the last time there was a contract signing, she was left laying on the mat.  She tells Asuka to sign the contract or history will repeat itself.

Asuka signs the contract.

Bayley and Asuka stare down each other while Regal announces that the match is official.

Asuka offers her hand again and Bayley slaps it away and she leaves the ring.

Bayley returns to the ring after hearing what Asuka says and she gets in Asuka's face.

Asuka holds the title over her head and she leaves the ring.

The Authors of Pain are in the back with Paul Ellering and they will be wrestling next.

Bobby congratulates Almas but not on his win.  He says it was impressive, but a little sloppy and rough around the edges, but you did win.  Bobby says he is here to congratulate Almas about something else.  Bobby says he talked to William Regal and he says that he told Regal that Takeover needed some more star power.  Fifteen thousand people stuffed into the Barclays Center.  It needs something.  It needs to be GLORIOUS.  William agreed and Bobby will be in a match against Almas.    Bobby congratulates Almas and he says that since Almas has trouble with English, he will say it slow.  Those people in Brooklyn are not paying to see Almas, they are paying to see him.  Takeover will be his showcase and that night will be GLORIOUS.

We go to commercial.

We are back and Austin Aries is talking to William Regal about nutrition and then he slams down William's laptop.  Austin wants to talk about Takeover.  He wants to know how special the shows are if he is not on the card.  He does not have an opponent.  Everyone else has an opponent but The Greatest Man to Ever Live does not have an opponent.

William says someone of Austin's stature needs an opponent.  It will be someone Austin knows well and has been avoiding . . .  No Way Jose.
