WWE NXT REPORT: STRONG VERSUS WALTER, THE DUSTY CLASSIC STARTS, NILE VERSUS RAY, AND MORE

By Richard Trionfo on 2022-01-18 22:03:00

Your announcers are Vic Joseph and Wade Barrett.

We see a Corvette arrive at the building and LA Knight shows up.  He stops to talk to Andre Chase and Bodhi Hayward.  Knight says he has a teachable moment for Grayson Waller.  He asks Briggs and Jensen if they have seen Waller.

LA Knight makes his way to the ring.

Knight with some yeahs.  Now he says he wants to talk to ya.  He wants to get right to business.  He mentions Grayson Waller and he tells him to bring his scrawny ass out here so he can finish what he started.

Waller does not come out and he says that is what he expected.  He says he has to turn his back to get Waller out here.  Knight says week after week when you hear Grayson Sucks, but as much as that chaps your ass, there is one sound that haunts you and brings a feeling in you that you cannot describe.  That is LA Knight.  You tried to sabotage things at Halloween Havoc but you couldn't get the job done.  At War Games you hit one cool move and you think that took out LA Knight.  Uh uh.  A few nights later, you get upset because you were turned down by a woman for LA Knight.  She knew you couldn't get the job done.  

Grayson Waller's music plays and he makes his way to the ring.

Waller tells Knight that he has a restraining order that says you can't touch him.  Before you do something you regret . . . 

Waller says there is nothing he would love more than to fight you.  You acted like a dork last week and attacked me from behind.  Waller says his lawyers advised him for his safety and for Knight's safety this had to happen.  It is your fault and you made it happen.

Waller gives Knight the papers (despite not being legally sufficient for service in the state of Florida).  

Waller says if Knight gets within 50 feet of him, Knight will be arrested.

Knight says this is impressive even for Waller.  Knight asks the people about the injunction.  Knight tells Waller he might have a restraining order against him, but not against HIM.

Dexter Lumis' music plays and Waller backs up and Lumis is behind him.  

Lumis tries for SIlence.

Knight says that Waller can let the injunction go away and get dropped on your head by him or you can get put to sleep by Lumis.

We go to commercial.
