Video: Last Week’s Show Recap

We start off with a look back at the battle royal to determine the number one contender for the NXT Men’s Championship.


In-Ring: Myles Borne, No Quarter Catch Crew, “All Ego” Ethan Page, Ava

No Quarter Catch Crew makes their way to the ring with Myles Borne.

Myles says last week, he shocked the damn world.  Twenty-five of the toughest men across NXT, LFG, and Evolve and he was the last man standing so he is going to Battleground.  He says he probably wasn’t your first, second, or third pick, but he is used to this.  He says they have been dancing around this for a while.  Myles says he has a disability.  He says he is partially deaf and it affects his speech and the way he talks.  Myles says last week, when he eliminated Ethan Page and Shawn Spears, he says he heard you going crazy.  He does not want to be known as ‘the deaf kid’.  He says he wants to be judged by his ability, not his disability.  Myles says he is the underdog at Battleground and he is facing a dominant champion, but he is fighting for all of the people struggling.  He wants to prove that you can be a success.

No one gave him a shot last week.  At Battleground, they aren’t giving him a shot, but he will shock the world.  He might not be able to hear, but he will hear Mike Rome call him the new NXT World Champion.

Ethan Page comes out and he says that Myles might be worse than Ricky Saints.  He is going to give Myles a reality check.  He won a battle royal on a fluke.  A one in a million chance thing come true.  Ethan apologizes that there is no closed captioning so he will speak slow enough that Myles can read his lips.  You cannot beat Oba.  You are not on his level or Ethan’s.  If you want to prove you deserve this match, put the contendership on the line against him.

Charlie tells Myles this is the perfect learning opportunity.  You put me in the match with Oba to get some advice about Oba.  What better way than to go toe to toe with a former champion.  This is the perfect fight camp.  You get to silence all your doubters, especially your biggest one.

Myles tells Charlie he is right and Ethan is on.

Ava comes out.

She says she doesn’t know if this is the right choice, but she sees how confident Myles is.  She will allow the match and the title match is on the line.  Right now, Charlie faces Oba.
