Tyler Bate Vignette
We get a vignette on Bate just one week before he makes his Full Sail University debut. He’ll face Trent Seven for the WWE UK Championship.
A Glorious Celebration
Bobby Roode walks into Full Sail for a glorious entrance and says, “I told you so”, referring to his new NXT Championship. He starts mocking Shinsuke Nakamura for beating everyone except for him. Roode says Nakamura couldn’t get the job done, even after promising to “kick his head off”.
Roode says he’s the champion and how he’ll be the focus of WWE NXT shows and events going forward. He calls it “glorious”.

A fluff promo here from Roode, as he spoke for about five minutes how he won and that his title reign will be “glorious”. He called out Nakamura too, who will be back to challenge him soon. This could be an early candidate to main event TakeOver: Orlando, unless there’s a more creative plan in mind. It should be noted that prior to Roode vs. Nakamura, the past five TakeOver shows had just two different pairings in the main event — Finn Balor vs. Samoa Joe and Joe vs. Nakamura.
