We got footage from an NXT press conference in which Ethan Page said that Trick Williams would be unable to dethrone him as the NXT Champ. He also added that having CM Punk call the match would not change the outcome in any way.

CM Punk was backstage, and Trick Williams told him that Ethan Page would try anything to win the title match. Punk warned the challenger that he wouldn't let anyone cheat and wouldn't play favorites.

The Grayson Waller Effect was next on NXT with Waller and Austin Theory. The guests were the NXT Tag Team Champs Axiom and Nathan Frazer. The main roster stars were hostile towards Fraxiom and said that in two weeks, they would be taking the tag titles.

Frazer asked why it was only The Grayson Waller Effect and not the Waller and Theory Effect, and Grayson said that the show's concept predated thier tag team.

Waller attacked the champs before they could question anything else, and Theory helped him take the duo down.

Trick Williams attended the Press Conference and said that he wanted to lead NXT into the new era. He promised to become the champion next week.

Roxanne Perez was in the ring next with Giulia and Funaki to discuss the title match next week.

Giulia cut her promo in Japanese, and Roxanne tried to interfere, but Byron Saxton stopped her.

Funaki got on the mic to translate and told us that Giulia said Roxanne's time had come. She would show the champ that it was time to give up the title to someone better than her.

Roxanne got on the mic and said she watched every Giulia match when the latter was in Japan. She added that she was the reason Giulia came to WWE and that the champ 'built NXT from the ground up.'

Byron interrupted the champ once more, and Giulia said that even in America, she was the most feared superstar.

Then Stephanie Vaquer interrupted them from the Titantron, saying she would be waiting on the other side for whoever wins the NXT Women's Title. With that cliffhanger, NXT's season finale went off the air.
