Asuka Responds to Ember Moon

Moon won another shot at the title a few week’s ago when she defeated Ruby Riot. Asuka doesn’t seems to be too concerned though, she has already defeated Ember Moon and plans to do so again.

Moon comes out and says Asuka is only hiding from the truth, and that deep down the Empress of Tomorrows knows the real truth. The insuation was that Asuka needed to cheat to beat her, by knocking out the referee to avoid the eclipse.

Asuka offers her hand to Ember before slapping her across the face. Moon retaliates with a hard right elbow. Asuka lands a great kick on Moon sending her to the ringside. As Asuka gloats in ring, Moon climbs the ropes and lands an Eclipse on Asuka. As sign of things to come?

Bobby Roode Responds to Roderick Strong and Drew McIntyre

Roode starts off with an analogy. He says that like most trailer trash, Strong was attempting to play the lottery in hopes of beating Roode. But his numbers didn’t match up. Roode acknowledges that eventually, Strong will want to play again, but says this isn’t Strong’s NXT.

As for, Drew McIntyre, Roode says that the two will meet next week in-ring for a face-to-face talk. He then ends the interview. Strong attempts to ambush the champion, but is held back by a variety of superstars. Regal tells Strong to act like a professional. Strong says he’ll do anything Regal wants, but he wants Roode. Regal denies his request and says the main event at Brookly II will be McIntyre vs Roode.

Street Profits Vignette

A thin NXT tag team division will receive an influx of talent, as the group Street Profits make their television debut(?) The group looks like they’ll work face, which is great because the division has even less of those.
