- We then throw to the ring where Keith is introduced and he comes out to the ring to celebrate his winning the NXT championship and becoming the first double champion in NXT history. Keith asks to be introduced again before referencing the past couple of months in society before saying that there's something incredibly special that can happen in the ring. Keith says that he stands before everyone as both the North American champion and the NXT champion before draping the title belts on the mat. Keith says that it's back to reality and that there is an entire locker room who will be vying for those two belts before saying that he didn't do it on his own, that opportunity and chances helped him get to where he is.

Keith references Tim Brooks who gave him a shot and helped him get where he is today and that the NXT Universe lifted and pushed him to the top when they sang his theme song before referencing his number one frenemy Dominik Dijakovic. Keith asks Dom to come out to the ring so they can talk before Dom does just that and Keith tells him that it's about the both of them. Keith says that the competition between the two propelled Keith to the opportunity he's gotten and that he's tested his limits unlike anyone else could. Keith says that he talked to General Manager William Regal who agreed with him that Keith's first challenger for both belts should be Dom, Keith saying that they should do it tonight before Dom reluctantly agrees.
