Ciampa, fresh off his victory over Bron Breakker at Halloween Havoc, was addressing the crowd when he was interrupted by Hayes and Trick Williams.

The NXT North American Champion told Ciampa that it's not about him anymore, there’s a new school on the rise and he’s its leader. Hayes believes he’s the real champion of NXT and, as long as he’s North American Champion, Ciampa should take a back seat.

Things escalated as Ciampa challenged Hayes to "jump if he's feeling froggy." The Blackheart then dropped Hayes' partner, Trick Williams, for interrupting him.

The segment ended with a staredown between Ciampa and Johnny Gargano as the latter made his way to the ring for the main event.

Their feud dates back to 2017 when Ciampa turned on Gargano after the duo failed to regain the NXT Tag Team Championship. What followed was a series of great matches, including one for the NXT Title in a Last Man Standing match.

Since then, the duo has reunited and broken off multiple times while injuries have denied fans the opportunity to witness the two face each other once again.
