\nWilliam Regal walks out onto the stage and wishes everyone a happy new year. He announces a women’s battle royal for the number one contender spot. He also introduces Sami Zayn.<\/p>\n

Sami introduces himself. He claims partial responsibility for building NXT, and he’s happy to be home. He also makes a proclamation: he came back in order to become the first two time NXT champ. Samoa Joe immediately makes his way to the ring.<\/p>\n

Joe points out that he had to save Sami’s life before. He says Balor barely survived in London. He tells Sami to walk away. Baron Corbin hits the stage. Corbin walks to the ring and tells Sami to get to the back of the line. He also points out that Joe had a chance but lost in London. He claims he is the uncrowned champ.<\/p>\n

Joe tells Corbin he doesn’t even belong in the conversation. He also tells Sami to know his place in Joe’s ring. Joe walks away. Corbin attacks Sami from behind but gets booted out of the ring. Joe returns to the ring, faces Sami, but backs away up the ramp.<\/p>\n

** Not sure about Corbin, but I could get behind Joe and Sami fighting for a spot. **<\/span><\/p>\n
