Booker T then says he looks in the ring and sees talent and the future of the NXT women’s division, then asks Michin what she’ll do to become the inaugural champion. Michin says unlike her opponents, she knows what it takes to win the Ladder Match with her prior experience, but Jaida Parker cuts her off and says it’s her time.

Henley then says she doesn’t have to carry any dead weight or worry about anyone and the NXT Women’s North American Championship was made for her. Kelani Jordan then asks Henley where her name is on the NXT Women’s North American Championship, then says the six of them in the ring are all qualified to be the inaugural NXT Women’s North American Championship. Jordan then says no one is willing to put in the work like she will.
Booker T then says Sol Ruca might be a little out of her element in a Ladder Match and Ruca says while she was going to sit back as everyone else insulted one another, five of the women in the ring will be wrong. Ruca then says five stones will be smashed on Sunday. Lash Legend then says it’s been a rough couple weeks for her, but Sunday is about her. Legend then says she will be going from a woman with potential to a woman who is NXT Women’s North American Champion.

We then head to the back and we see Stevie Turner approaching NXT General Manager Ava as Ava is making her way down to the ring.

We then see NXT General Manager Ava waiting inside the ring.
Ava starts off by saying Ethan Page wanted to have their contract negotiation in public and she invites Page down to the ring. Ethan Page then makes his way down to the ring and takes a seat as does Ava. Ava then says she doesn’t like to handle business this way, but it’s time to hammer out a deal. Page then thanks Ava and tells her she’s going to have to get used to him calling the shots around NXT if he signs the contract they’ve agreed on because he’ll be getting a lot of perks. Page then says he doesn’t think the NXT locker room or Ava herself will like that very much and that he has earned all the perks. Page then says he’s tired of sitting around and waiting for opportunities and he is going to take them. Page then says Ava should have a smile on her face because she’s about to sign “The Wrestler”. Ava then tells Page she’s not signing anyone with his demands and Page says she will sign him on live TV because she needs to. Page then says NXT lost eight of their top stars during the WWE Draft and he’ll take the brand to new heights. Page then says he understands there’s a lot of money in his contract, but he could’ve sat at home for two years collecting a check. Page then says he’s not about that and while Ava might hate him, she knows he’s talented and a megastar. Page then says he hasn’t said anything that’s an opinion, but simply things that are fact.
NXT Champion Trick Williams’ music then hits and he makes his way down to the ring. Page sends the table in the ring out of it and Page calls for Williams’ music to be cut. Page then says he knows how contract signing usually goes and no one is getting put through a table tonight. Page then says he’s here to handle business. Williams then tells Ava to give Page whatever he wants so he and everyone else in the building can get what they want and that is to beat Page down. Williams then tells Page that NXT is his house and he’s been around for a minute. Williams then says he has a few friends in the back who have been with him through everything as have the fans. Williams then tells Page that his problem with him is that he jumped the line in his house. Williams then says Page is crazy for thinking he can jump the line to get a shot at the NXT Championship, then says he’ll make an example out of him.
Page then says he gets why Williams is emotional after their encounter last week and says he and Williams have a lot more in common than they think. Page then says he saw Williams in Carmelo Hayes’ shadow and he’s been in the same position Williams has been in a million times. Page then says Williams was able to break out while he wasn’t, then says being NXT Champion comes with the responsibility of having a target on his back and a big spotlight he craves. Page then says attacking Williams wasn’t personal, then tells Ava he’s ready to sign the contract. Ava then hands Page the contract and he signs it. Page then says all he needs is Ava’s signature and Williams invites Ava to sign. Ava then says she can’t because of a stipulation and Page reveals that should Ava sign, she gives him a shot at the NXT Championship at Battleground and the end of the Whoop That Era. Williams then says Page can’t end anything and says come Battleground, Page will be hearing one thing and that is Whoop That Trick. Ava then signs the contract and Williams and Page get in each other’s faces. Both men then stare each other down and Williams holds up the NXT Championship as the show comes to a close.
