Can the Inactives carry this momentum for the rest of the season?

[Graves]

I don't think so, Mauro.

They're not actually any good.

These are fluky wins.

[Ranallo]
I don't think that kind of talk should be tolerated in the current year, Corey.

Backstage Interview



[Tom Phillips]
Joining me at this time, tonight's challenger for the FXT Universal Championship, Chris Waiting and his mentor... Kev-

[Kevin Waiting]
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Hold on there, Tim.
You weren't just about to introduce me as a prodigy of Chris Waiting, were you?
I am Chris Waiting's equal.
I come from the school of Waiting.
But I am not a prodigy of anyone, you hear me?

[Tom Phillips]
My apologies, Kevin.
Tonight, Chris, you face your biggest test of the season.
Challenging for the FXT Universal Championship.
How do you prepare for such a match of his caliber?

[Chris Waiting]
Well, John.
It's simple. JJ Styles is not an elite Fantasy Manager.
JJ Styles is a fraud.
And I will expose him and his so-called Club.



[Kevin Waiting]
You see, Bryan. JJ Styles may have the Bullet Club.
But what we have is much stronger than that.
We have a friendship.
A bond, stronger than guns.
Tonight, my best friend, Chris Waiting becomes the new FXT Universal Champion.

[Chris Waiting]
That's right, Felipe.
And you know why I'm so confident that I will walk out Universal Champion?
Because I have a best friend like Kevin Waiting watching my back.

[Tom Phillips]

Be that as it may, Chris.

The Bullet Club outnumbers the two of you.

Are you at all concerned that they may interfere in tonight's match?

[Chris Waiting]

What did you just say to me, Michael?

I'm not worried about the Bullet Club.

I am better than the Bullet Club.

You stupid idiot.

[Chris Waiting]

It was the Bullet Club!

Those stupid idiots attacked me!

I can't compete in tonight's main event.

I think I broke my neck!

I THINK I BROKE MY NECK!

[Graves]

This is a shocking change of events.

Will this affect our Championship match tonight?

Backstage Segment

[Shane McMahon]

Well, Chris Waiting is out tonight.

But you still have a match, Styles.

Tonight, you will face Kevin Waiting for the Universal Championship.

[JJ Styles]

Hey, we had nothing to do with the attack on Chris Waiting, earlier tonight.

That was not us.

[Karl Anderson]

You've got to believe us, Shane.

We didn't touch him.

[Shane McMahon]

I know who you guys think you are.

I've dealt with guys like you before.

You think that you're the New World Order..

But you're not.

You're just some wannabe, off brand version of the NWO.

You're not gonna bullshit a bullshitter.

And I won't let the Bullet Club hijack my league.

So tonight, the Bullet Club is banned from ringside.

Shane McMahon does the Bullet Club gesture at JJ Styles.

[JJ Styles]

WHAT?!

This is absolutely ridiculous!

We had nothing to do with that!

This is bullshit, Shane!
