Backstage, Bayley says she isn’t 100% and Regal is probably right- she shouldn’t compete at Takeover. Nia Jax walks in and says the reason Bayley can’t compete is because she broke her last week. Carmella walks in and gets in Jax’s face. Alexa Bliss joins the fray, but Jax turns around and says Bliss isn’t even worth it and walks away.
Austin Aries is in the ring. Aries says he doesn’t want to be the best. When you are the best you can only be the best until someone better comes along. This is the reason he prefers to be the greatest. Timing is everything and when he arrived in NXT there were others that came and took the spotlight. A loud Nakamura chant starts. Aries says none of that matters now. Whoever wins the NXT title cage match will have to face him next. Before Aries could finish his thought, Shinsuke Nakamura comes to the ring. Nakamura grabs a mic and starts speaking in Japanese. He apologizes to Aries and asks him if he understands Japanese. Aries says he doesn’t understand him. Nakamura says the NXT title isn’t coming to greatness, it’s coming to the king. William Regal comes out and tells Aries and Nakamura that they will face each other at Takeover.
