Carmelo Hayes was out with his security team, followed by Trick Williams, who was alone. Trick said it wasn't supposed to be like this, but he noticed that it would be the first all-black main event in a big WWE PLE.
The two reminisced about how great their alliance was, but Melo blamed Trick for "ruining everything for everybody." Trick said that Melo ruined everything before the latter made an analogy, saying that Williams going after the NXT Title was like him going after his girlfriend.
Trick said he was on his way up, and Melo should have brought it up if he didn't want him to go after the NXT Title. Melo made excuses and said that Trick should have stayed humble.
Melo said that Trick might be on top, but soon, the crowd will turn on him, too. Trick noted that Melo was jealous of him, and the two had a final stare-down before a brawl broke out.
The security guys and officials got involved, followed by most of the roster, as NXT went off the air.
