-Team #DIY come out to celebrate their winning the tag belts at TakeOver: Toronto. The Authors of Pain come out and interrupt them and Paul says the prophecy has come true and that their celebration is premature as The Revival come out. The Revival say they deserve a rematch and that the only reason AOP won the Dusty Classic is because they weren't in it as AOP come down and get in the faces of The Revival. AOP shove them and they back off, Paul saying the next chapter shall be written by AOP and they'll be the next champions. Someone named Percy Watson who was on NXT in the past joins on the commentary team, apparently a permanent third person on the team.
