We take a look back at In Your House with highlights.
North American Champion Carmelo Hayes comes to the ring with Trick Williams.
Trick says things are back to normal. Melo is the North American Champion.
Carmelo says he has to give credit where credit is due. The best version of Cameron Grimes showed up on Saturday and gave him a tough match. His goal was to get back to the North American Championship and he is the goal. Melo don't chase dreams, dreams chase Melo. I am what you aspire to be. As I look around and see some of you scrubs in here, you wish you could do what I do. I am standing at the top while you losers are reaching for your goals.
I am the most illustrious NXT North American Champion in history and I got right now. Solo Sikoa makes his way to the ring. Sikoa tells Melo congratulations on getting your victory. No one wants to hear that. This is NXT where we do less talking and more fighting. I'm going to keep this short and sweet. Everyone knows I got next for the North American championship.
Trick says that was between Solo and Grimes so that is not valid any more. Hayes says Solo bet on the wrong one. Solo says he has no fear in his eyes. He has Melo's number and everyone knows it.
Grayson Waller makes his way to the ring. He wants to know who Solo thinks he is. He isn't famous enough to have Melo's number and he is leaving you on voice mail. I don't care about your blood type and who your dad, brothers, or cousin are. The truth is that no one likes you here. That is why you are called SOLO.
Solo tells Waller to shut the hell up. He fights alone in the ring. He is not alone tonight because he is with them. You want to fight? Solo punches Williams and Hayes. Waller goes after Sikoa and all three men work over Sikoa. Waller with a DDT to Sikoa.
