William Regal is in the ring with the official NXT contract signing carpet and table.

William says two of the biggest stars in NXT history will meet for the title in San Antonio. William brings out the challenger, Bobby Roode, first. Out next is the NXT Champion, Shinsuke Nakamura.

Bobby interrupts Regal and he apologizes. He wanted to let him know that the contract signing will not go the way they have gone in the past. There will be no physicality and fighting because he sees the dollar signs in William Regal’s eyes. Bobby says this will be the biggest money match in NXT history. They have never really had a chance to talk, but he is pretty familiar with Nakamura. He followed Nakamura’s career in Japan, but he never really thought Nakamura was worth his time.

Bobby says he give Nakamura his ticket from Takeover Dallas. That was the night the Nakamura era in NXT began. What a night. When your music hit, the people in the arena went insane. The match was incredible. Bobby had goosebumps. You have made a name for yourself. You have beaten Finn Balor and Samoa Joe. You are a two time NXT Champion. You call yourself the King of Strong Style. The fact is, you have no style. You walk around with half a haircut. You look like you are in the Thriller movie with Michael Jackson. You do that thing with your hands. Who are you?

Nakamura takes his mic and he tells Bobby-san, he know their paths would cross. You look like Shiba Inu. He says Bobby is a Japanese dog. Maybe your suit is too tight, but you change NXT as long as he is champion.

Bobby says everyone fears change. He tells Nakamura to wake up. They are not in Japan. They are not in the land of zero talent. He is in the ring with the biggest star on god’s green Earth. He says he is the IT Factor. Bobby calls Nakamura a joke. He says he had an agenda. The people in the back are not wearing t-shirts and flip flops. The people in the crowd are changing their pathetic lives. In San Antonio, his agenda will be complete. He will silence Nakamura’s fans and put the title where it belongs . . . around his waist.

Roode signs the contract.

Bobby says when he wins that title, it will finally be . . . GLO . . .
