He asks the crowd what’s good.  He says he prides himself on being real.  These are words he never throught he would say.  Cruz Montana is a WWE Superstar.  There wwere a lot of times when he didn’t think he would see tomorrow.  He came up in some of the toughest neighborhoods in New York.  It was a fight to survive.  He says he is not a saint and he made some mistakes, but he was fighting the man in the mirror.  He thought the dream was dead for him.  He had to be a guy with wasted potential or the man his daughter would be proud to call his father.

They said he reached the ceiling as a tag team wrestler.  That got to him.  He fought the goughest battles and he went through a losing streak.  Then he started to win and it wasn’t about validation, it iwas about a second chance.  He says he loves and appreciates what TnA did for him.  Tonight, he stands here as a WWE superstar and not a damn thing was given to him.  He won’t let his past dictate his future.  He says he is at the beginning of the chapter he is chasing.  He came here with a mission in mind and he wanted to show he could be among the best in WWE.  He says he is not here to fill a pot, but to take the title.  That spot is the NXT Championship.
