Here is your post-NXT fight size update for November 22.

- Schism had a special message in honor of Thanksgiving. Ava Raine discussed how the holiday often rips families apart, but Schism can be counted on. Rip Fowler described how the holiday is a far cry from its initial intent. Raine took a "fan" out of the crowd. Joe Gacy says they will christen a new holiday and make new traditions. Gacy named the day as Schism Invictus and pledged to build strength through togetherness. He said that Schism is now divisive because it's too late to join. He slammed the "fan" through the table.

Rose stated she can't wait to see who will win the match and face her, but they won't stand a chance against her. Jayne noted that she and Dolin are focused on winning the tag titles again. Dolin said their lust for the gold is intolerable. NXT Women's Tag Team Champions Kayden Carter and Katana Chance interrupted.
