By Richard Trionfo on 2023-06-06 22:02:00

Your announcers are Vic Joseph and Booker T.

We see Baron Corbin arriving at the Performance Center and he walks past many of the wrestlers.  He tells a production assistant to hit his music.

Baron says he never thought he would walk back through these doors.  When he got the call, he cleaned out his locker and never looked back.  For eight years, he was on the main roster.  While he was main eventing pay per views, people were coming up to the main roster full of desire.  Now they come up with an ego acting like we should thank them for coming to the main roster.  Baron says he heard people either talking about their legacy or complaining about why they aren't being called up.  

They have guaranteed contracts and are living in a house he built.  All of the OGs who started in FCW and they went all the way to sell out Barclay's Arena.  He tells the people to get off his bandwagon because they never clapped for him before.  

The people in the back couldn't look in his eye and show him respect.  Baron says he is going to make everyone regret that they signed a WWE contract.  Every one of them is soft and weak.  They are not as good as they think they are.  It all lies on the champion, Carmelo Hayes.  He acts like his stuff doesn't stink.  Melo got a taste of main roster reality when he laid out Carmelo last week.

Ilja Dragunov makes his way to the ring.

Ilja asks Baron to give him a chance to introduce himself.  He tells Baron that he is Ilja Dragunov.

Baron says he knows who Ilja is but he wants to know what Ilja wants.

Ilja says he came out to look him straight into the eyes to tell Baron he is not soft or weak.  He is the most animalistic and intense person in WWE.  He says he is the first person in line to face Carmelo for the title.

Baron says that is the NXT arrogance.  Baron says he has been in six Wrestlemania matches.  He retired Kurt Angle and he is the last man to pin Roman Reigns.

Ilja says Baron is targeting Carmelo to make a point but Ilja says he is challenging Carmelo for the title.  If he has to ravage Baron with pain to get what he wants, so be it.

Baron says there is a difference between what Ilja says and what he gets.  He jumps the line because he says so.

Ilja says Baron makes assumptions while Ilja says he makes challenges.  He challenges Baron to a match tonight.

Baron asks Ilja if he wants this after what happened at Battleground.  Ilja shows off a bruise on his side and Baron says he will be covered in bruises.

Trick Williams attacks Corbin and clotheslines Baron over the top rope to the floor.  

Corbin has to be held back by referees and then they hold up their hands.

We see Thea Hail at the PC earlier today and she is showing the strain of training.  Charlie says he will see Thea tomorrow.  Thea says that Charlie and Drew are teaching how to be tougher.  

Duke tells Thea that she doesn't like Drew and Charlie because they made her cry.  

Thea says she has to give it back.

Duke tells Thea you can't crunch people in a battle royal.

We take a look at Bron Breakker standing over Ilja Dragunov while Ilja holds his arm.
