\n“Rage” by CFO$<\/p>\n

Ring Area<\/em><\/span>
\nBobby Roode makes his way to the ring. He says that he single-handedly sold out the Amway Center and made Wrestlemania weekend glorious. He snuffed out the last star of the old NXT at Takeover, but he’s frustrated with the reception Shinsuke Nakamura received during his farewell speech last week. Nakamura didn’t choose to leave NXT, Roode forced him out. Roode sets an ultimatum: get on board Roode’s new era, or leave NXT. At that, Hideo Itami interrupts and heads to the ring.<\/p>\n

Itami stares at Roode for a bit, then slaps Roode in the face. Roode takes his time, removing his jacket and preparing for a fight. As Roode talks, Itami hits Roode with a GTS. Itami then takes a look at the NXT title before leaving the ring.<\/p>\n

** I really hope Itami can stay healthy this time. **<\/span><\/p>\n

\nKayla Braxton welcomes Tyler Bate and Jack Gallagher. Jack and Tyler compliment each other and are very polite, but things get a little tense and awkward when they talk about their title match next week.<\/p>\n

\nBobby Roode is being attended to in the ring. He makes it to his feet<\/p>\n

Backstage<\/em><\/span>
\nEarlier today at the WWE Performance Center, Heavy Machinery lifted weights. Near them, Adrade Almas briefly confronted Drew McIntyre.<\/p>\n

** These WWE Performance Center cell phone recording segments are a little odd for their brevity, but I kind of like them. It adds a touch of realism which is often missing from backstage segments. **<\/span><\/p>\n
