The words came on the screen for the crowd to sing, "Ethan s*cks, believe in Joe, Ethan, please put on some clothes." Ethan came out and said he was done with sing-alongs, and the crowd kept singing Hendry's song.
Page was furious and tried to assert his dominance before Ava came out and said that since Ethan had been attacking referees, she had a special guest referee in mind for their match. Trick Williams came out in a referee's costume, and Hendry ducked a shot from Page in the ring before taking the champ down.
Hendry pinned Page, and Trick counted to three before Pete Dunne came out at ringside. Dunne said Williams wouldn't make it to No Mercy before NXT went off the air.
