– We see a split screen of Trick Williams and Ridge Holland walking backstage. And we see Eric Bischoff making his way to the ring.

Bischoff says "NXT" is undeniable, as is the fact that he's always been on the cutting edge of professional wrestling. He says he revolutionized the professional wrestling business when he created WCW Nitro to go head-to-head with "WWE Raw", and now there's another revolution with "NXT". He then introduces Ridge Holland and Trick Williams, and they both make their way out to the ring.

Bischoff says Holland is the antithesis of what a WWE Superstar should be, and is a throwback to wrestlers like The Crusher, while Williams is the evolution of the revolution. He says he can't wait to see what develops between Williams and Holland, then calls Williams nothing but a stand up comedian with abs and an insult to the vision of what "NXT" should be. He expresses his confidence in becoming the NXT Champion at Deadline, then says he'll have to listen to people like Bischoff who are trying to hang onto relevance. Williams says Holland is built like a fridge and did everything he did to destroy Chase U just so he could chase him. He says Holland isn't original and calls him bland and boring.

Holland tells Williams that he's soft, and says at Deadline, he will put Williams down and leave as NXT Champion. Williams then clocks Holland with a couple of right hands and rains down more on him before sending him crashing into the ring steps. Holland responds by delivering a Cradle DDT to Williams on top of the announce desk.
