"Let's talk matches," Regal says. "I believe we should do a mix of NXT matches and AEW matches and a few matches of NXT versus AEW."

Kenny nods and says, "I say we have a few AEW champion versus NXT champion. Adam versus Jon, Angelina versus Hikaru."

I shake my head and say, "I want Britt. We've already built up a little rivalry over the past few weeks. Why not end it at this pay-per-view?"

Adam looks over at me and I look between Kenny and Regal. Kenny says, "Adam Page and I can do a champion versus champion match tag match with the NXT tag champions if Angelina wants a match with Britt."

Regal nods and says, "Perfect. I have someone that would be perfect for a match against Hikaru. Candice LeRae has been proving herself a lot recently. She may like a match with the AEW women's world champion."

Hikaru nods in agreement. "Yes," she says. "I've been watching her. She's very good."

Regal looks at me and asks, "What do you think?"

I say, "Candice has been proving herself a lot recently. A few of the women have. We should have a number one contender match for my title at the pay-per-view."

Regal nods and says, "I like the sound of that. Who do you believe should be in the match?"

I think for a second before I say, "Rhea Ripley should definitely be in there. Io Shirai. Dakota Kai. Tegan Nox. A lot of the women have been proving themselves."

Regal says, "A number one contender triple threat match for your title. Rhea, Io, and Dakota. What do you think?"

I nod and say, "Perfect. I love it. Whoever wins can challenge me for my title."

Kenny says, "For the Angelina and Britt match. Should that be the main event? They were the first to appear on both AEW and NXT. They do have a rivalry."

Regal and Triple H both nod. Regal says, "I like that idea."

Kenny and Regal both write. Kenny goes back and forth about the AEW matches. AEW will also hold a number one contender match for the women's title. Kenny then says, "I have two men that are former WWE wrestlers. Chris Jericho and Matt Hardy. Do you think the fans would like it if the two of them had a match? Bring them back to WWE for a night?"

Regal says, "I love that idea. Perfect."

Adam then says, "I want Finn versus Keith. Non-title. They've had some tension over the past few weeks and they should have a match. I also want Fish and Strong to have a match."

Regal thinks and says, "Yes to the Finn Balor and Keith Lee match. The tag match can be one of the AEW versus NXT matches."

Kenny thinks for a second and says, "The Young Bucks. They can fight against Fish and Strong. Will Kyle O'Reilly be at ringside?"

"That's up to Kyle," Adam says. "The Young Bucks. Been awhile since they've been around. Last time I saw them was Ring of Honor."

Kenny laughs and says, "That was the last time you saw me too."

Adam laughs. "You're right," he says.

Regal is going though the NXT roster and he says, "We have a match scheduled in a few weeks. Karrion Kross versus Tomasso Ciampa for the NXT North American Title. We could book the match for this pay-per-view since there are no title matches."

Kenny nods and says, "As of right now we don't have any title matches scheduled so you guys can hold a title match."

"Adam?" Regal asks. "Sound good to you?" Adam nods in response.
