## Promos

* **William Regal's promo:**"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to NXT. Last Sunday was certainly one to remember, as we crowned three of NXT's inaugural champions. Corey Graves walked away with the Intercontinental Championship, the Young Bucks walked away with the NXT Tag Team Championship, and Finn Balor won the NXT Championship. However, despite these three champions being crowned, we have yet to crown an NXT Women's Champion. Because of this, beginning tonight, the tournament for the NXT Women's Championship commences. The first match will happen right now. May the best woman win."
* **Jimmy Havoc's promo:**"Listen to me Graves, and listen good because I'm only gonna say this once. Your little 'reign of terror' isn't going to be continuing as long as I'm here. You say you want to 'make wrestling dangerous again'? I've been in more deathmatches than you could ever hope to be in. How do you expect to put away a man who's been shredded by barbwire and put through glass tables so many times?
* **Kevin Owens and William Regal's verbal exchange:**(Owens talking) "Regal, I want another shot at the NXT title." (Regal talking) "And why do you think you're deserving of that?" (Owens) "Since Sunday's match was not only a triple threat, but was also a ladder match, there was no way Balor could have pinned me. How could you really think he's really deserving of the title if he can't even pin one of his opponents?" (Regal) "You know what? I'll bite. If you can win your match tonight, you'll be in next week's main event. There, you will fight Roman Reigns in a one on one single-fall match to determine who Balor's opponent at the Royal Rumble will be. Good luck."
* **The Young Bucks' promo:**(Matt talking) "I don't get what's up with you guys in the back." (Nick talking) "You think you can beat us, but so far we've proven that nobody can." (Matt) "Nobody can." (Nick) "Look at this Curtis Axel nerd. He could barely do anything against these superkicks." (Matt) "You know what Nick, I think we should hold an open challenge right now." (Nick) "I agree. Any of you nerds in the back who want some, come get some."
