-Johnny Gargano comes out to the ring on crutches to start the show and says that he lost himself and that he’s done a lot of stupid things and that he doesn’t know what to do anymore. Johnny says that Tommaso Ciampa is in his head and that he doesn’t know what the NXT Universe wants and that he has to be better for the fans and his wife. William Regal makes his way to the ring and asks Johnny if he attacked Aleister Black, but he’s interrupted by Velveteen Dream before he can give an answer.
