Shawn Spears was at Tony D'Angelo's restaurant and asked for a North American Championship match, not for him but for Brooks Jensen. Spears gave Tony a big monologue before walking off to enter his car, where he spoke to the driver, who was none other than Niko Vance.
Trick Williams was out next and called Ridge Holland out to the ring before Andre Chase came out. Chase said he still had a score to settle with Holland, and Trick congratulated him for returning after being attacked and injured.
Trick was talking about a title opportunity for Andre before Ridge came out to stop Williams. Chase wanted another match against Holland and was ready to put the University on the line.
Holland said the only thing he cared about was the NXT Championship, and Trick set up a No.1 Contender's match between Chase and Holland next week. Holland added that if he won next week, he wanted Chase U to be dissolved. Andre took the bait and agreed to it.
Ridge attacked Chase, but Trick took him down. They joined Andre for the Chase U kicks before Holland fled the ring. Instead of a title match, Ava would now have to accommodate Chase vs Holland for a no. 1 contender match.
