Waller says Carmelo Hayes and NXT Champion Bron Breakker think they’re the main event at Stand & Deliver, but no matter where Waller is on the card, he’s the real main event. Waller says this is all coming full-circle as two years ago he was trying to stand out in front of a new wave of talent, even build relationships with you idiot fans, singing and dancing, all the things fans pretend they don’t like but secretly love… then came WarGames and at the time Waller was considered the fourth-best member of Team 2.0. Fans chant “shut the hell up!” now. Waller says he took fourth-best personally, he put his body on the line in WarGames because that was going to be his viral moment, his launchpad into superstardom.
Waller says but he was wrong because after WarGames, all people could talk about was Gargano, so two nights later it only took Waller 30 seconds to take Gargano out. He calls Gargano the biggest mark in this business. He sent Gargano home with a chair shot, then sent himself into the stratosphere. Waller says moments before that Gargano told people to bet on yourself, and Waller has done that more than anyone in recent months. Waller goes on and says he now has a big Superstar begging him to kick his ass. Waller keeps taking shots at Shawn Michaels, and says Gargano will lose at Stand & Deliver, just like Michaels. Waller says Gargano bleeds black & gold while he bleeds green.
Waller goes on ranting but thankfully Gargano’s music hits. Gargano is nowhere to be seen. Waller is readying for a fight. Gargano enters the ring in all black, and they start fighting. Security tries to hold them back as fans chant “let them fight!” now. The fight spills to the floor and they keep breaking free from security to fight. Gargano’s music starts back up while they keep talking trash and security holds them back at the entrance-way. The final NXT before Stand & Deliver goes off the air.

– We go back to the ring and out comes Grayson Waller. Security is surrounding the ring.
Waller walks over to Vic Joseph and takes the contract for his Unsanctioned Match with Johnny Gargano at Stand & Deliver. Waller tells Vic that whatever happens in this match, he wants to do it in front of Vic, and whatever happens to Vic’s boy is on him. Waller brings the contract in the ring now. He tells security they better watch his back because Gargano is known for cheap shots.
Waller looks at the contract and says he can’t believe it. Fans chant “you can’t read!” now. Waller says Carmelo Hayes and NXT Champion Bron Breakker think they’re the main event at Stand & Deliver, but no matter where Waller is on the card, he’s the real main event. Waller says this is all coming full-circle as two years ago he was trying to stand out in front of a new wave of talent, even build relationships with you idiot fans, singing and dancing, all the things fans pretend they don’t like but secretly love… then came WarGames and at the time Waller was considered the fourth-best member of Team 2.0. Fans chant “shut the hell up!” now. Waller says he took fourth-best personally, he put his body on the line in WarGames because that was going to be his viral moment, his launchpad into superstardom.
Waller says but he was wrong because after WarGames, all people could talk about was Gargano, so two nights later it only took Waller 30 seconds to take Gargano out. He calls Gargano the biggest mark in this business. He sent Gargano home with a chair shot, then sent himself into the stratosphere. Waller says moments before that Gargano told people to bet on yourself, and Waller has done that more than anyone in recent months. Waller goes on and says he now has a big Superstar begging him to kick his ass. Waller keeps taking shots at Shawn Michaels, and says Gargano will lose at Stand & Deliver, just like Michaels. Waller says Gargano bleeds black & gold while he bleeds green.
Waller goes on ranting but thankfully Gargano’s music hits. Gargano is nowhere to be seen. Waller is readying for a fight. Gargano enters the ring in all black, and they start fighting. Security tries to hold them back as fans chant “let them fight!” now. The fight spills to the floor and they keep breaking free from security to fight. Gargano’s music starts back up while they keep talking trash and security holds them back at the entrance-way. The final NXT before Stand & Deliver goes off the air.
