She says Indi Hartwell climbed a ladder faster than you. You had a chance to regain your title at Stand and Deliver but you lost. You didn't blame yourself, you blamed Indi. You lost against her and you blamed Lola Vice for that. Lyra says that was shocking and unexpected, like when you won the title. It isn't okay when Lola does it, but it is okay when Roxanne does it.

Roxanne tells Lyra to stop talking about her like she knows her. You don't know what it is like to lose that championship, but on Saturday you will. She says she will knock Lyra off her high horse and then we will see where your moral compass is. A champion is not made until you lose the title. She says she wouldn't have been able to snap Lyra's arm at Vengeance Day but now she can. Do you think losing the title broke her? She says it only made her dangerous.

Lyra says she keeps hearing Roxanne talking about 'her title'. It wasn't 'your title' when Tiffany Stratton or Becky Lynch were champion. You have your excuses. Stand and Deliver will be a fight. The biggest show of the year. The difference between them is that while she wins, all Roxanne does is bitch. After Stand and Deliver, you will have a lot to bitch about.

Roxanne gets up and she tells Lyra she wants to be seen as the perfect champion but there is no perfect champion, not even the great Lyra Valkyria. She has a year of rage inside of her and at Stand and Deliver she is going to let it out.

NXT SECURITY surrounds the ring on the apron.

Trick Williams makes his way to the ring.

Trick says here we are, face to face. He says they should both be happy that they are main eventing the biggest show like this, but it wasn't supposed to be like that. They had a bond that was so strong. The first two black men to main event a PPV Wrestlemania weekend. As much as he wants to be excited and happy about that, it is hard because he is going to war against the man he used to call his brother.

Hayes says Trick has come a long way from that dark match at Smackdown in Virginia.

Trick says it was his third match ever and he was nervous. He says Hayes was there for him.

Hayes says it was like that. At one point it was them against the world. Now it is Hayes versus Trick.

Trick says the world will be watching.

Hayes says Trick ruined things for everybody. Trick says Hayes ruined it.

Hayes says when the hero gets to tell the story . . . Hayes says imagine these championshps were like their girlfriends. Hayes says he lost the world title and Trick lost the North American title. You were going to win the North American title back but you went behind his back to go after the World Title. Hayes says you went from his brother to his enemy.

Trick says that is not how it went down. Trick says he blew up and he went to Hayes and he said he wanted to take a chance on himself. You said you were happy with him and you did the same thing.

Hayes says he meant that. Hayes says he was paving a way for Trick the whole time. You started to believe all the hype that you were ready for a position not ready for you. It was Hayes' position and it is still his. It does not matter if he has a championship or not, you are going to take a backseat to him. You need to know that.

Trick says his days of taking a backseat are long gone.

Hayes chuckles and he says Trick used to be so humble. What happened? You have been hot for six months. You did it. Hayes says he has been hot for three years. Hayes tells Trick to listen to him. They love you when you are shining and on the rise. When someone else comes up, they are going to turn on you.

Trick says that is what you are mad about. Trick says Hayes is envious of him and that everyone loves Trick now.

Hayes says it could be so easy. Do you think he cares about the people? These people won't be in the ring with you and they won't be able to help you. You will learn the hard way why he has been on top for so long. He will show when he shoots, he doesn't miss.

Trick says Hayes will learn that he is going to be the one to knock Hayes down the hill. Trick says he will whoop that ass.

Trick punches Hayes and security.

Trick and Hayes punch each other and they clear the ring. They punch each other and the locker room comes to the ring to try to separate them.

End of show.
