"Kyle, that was none's fault but yours and Roderick," Adam said breaking his silence that he had since they walked out there. "Whatever Adam, you're just siding with your old pal," Roderick said rudely before all of the sudden the lights went out as normal as now both Ricochet and Austin was standing on stage with the lights hitting them

"and their opponents at a combined weight of 418 pounds, the team of Ricochet and the NXT Champion Austin Evans." Kayla announced as she stood at her position by the timekeeper. "Kyle, you're going to blame your lost, on someone that wasn't even there till halfway through your match, like seriously bud. I was too busy getting ready to bother you." Austin said chuckling as he walked down the ramp with his partner. "I mean, yeah. they showed you making your way into the building." Kyle said shocked that Austin was even here to defend himself. "Well bud, I can't help what cameramen do, maybe it just goes to show that the cameras like me more," Austin said laughing as he stood on the steps and Ricochet climbed into the ring before the new North American champion's theme was heard

"Here is your winners, Aleister Black, Ricochet, North American champion Johnny Gargano and the NXT champion Austin Evans." Kayla called out as the four went backstage celebrating their win. "Nice work McKissack, if you ever want to come back after chamber just tell me." William said walking by the four before going to the stage. "Nice, Brandon. Now come on. we gotta talk." Brielle said as she came around the corner shocking Austin of why she was there. "Brielle, shouldn't you be in Santa Claria with RAW." Ricochet asked as he tossed Brandon a water. "Yeah but my parents need me to talk to Brandon about something." Brielle revealed as Brandon sighed walking over to her smiling. "Good boy." Brielle said patting Brandon's back. "So as you know, we're in a storyline together on the main roster." Brielle said giggling as they walked into the locker room hallways. "Yeah, so what about it Brie." Austin said annoyingly as he was tired of being reminded of it. "Well, we have to start getting along again and act as if we were dating again onscreen." Brielle explained as Brandon sighed. "Brielle, I understand what to do. Pretending is all we are doing simple as that." Brandon said sighting as he had gotten upset as Marissa stepped out of the girls' locker room. "Brie, you need to leave. none here on NXT wants you even in the building." Marissa said causing Brielle to laugh. "Honey, i can be wherever I damn well please to be, besides you should be happy that a McMahon is in the presence of a lower card show." Brielle said giggling softly before Marissa sighed grabbing Brandon's arm. "come on hon, lets get you change and back home." Marissa said turning her attention to Brandon who agreeingly followed her before winking making him understand that the trick was for the fake GF thing thankfully the two got away from Brielle and into Brandon's personal locker room. "Thank you Mari, i couldn't get away from here even if i wanted to." Brandon said sighing. "Not a problem Bman, I didn't think you wanted to be around her right now."Marissa said giggling as she left the locker room as Austin changed before heading back to the hotel getting ready for next week for RAW and SmackDown in Texas.
