It’s time for the twenty-seventh week of NXT Redemption! The opening titles roll, and commentators Jack Korpela and William Regal welcome us from Toledo, Ohio. There is a recap of the events from two weeks ago, in which Darren Young confronted Matt Striker. Darren hits Matt Striker with a cheap shot, which prompts William Regal to intervene and chase Darren out of the ring.

-Darren Young makes his way out to the ring with a mic. He says he guesses this is the part where he welcomes the crowd to NXT Redemption, but he’s not here to talk about redemption. He’s here to talk about NXT being over. He says he’s already won, since he’s the best. He says the real reason he came out is to confront William Regal. Regal gets a mic of his own and gets into the ring. He’s welcomed by Regal chants. He says that he truly believes that Darren has a great future, but unfortunately, he’s been going about it in the wrong way, and Regal won’t allow it. Darren asks what’s wrong with Regal, after he was invited into Darren’s ring and tries to steal his spotlight. Regal says that Darren doesn’t have a clue whose spotlight is in the ring. Darren says that tonight, he’d love to show Regal what he knows in the ring. Regal gladly accepts.

-Tyson Kidd’s music hits and he makes his way to the ring. Matt Striker is now joining Jack Korpela on commentary. Kidd gets a microphone and says that for the past few weeks, someone’s been messing with him: playing mind games, trashing his locker room, and flashing Japanese characters on the TitanTron. And he says we all know who it is: Yoshi Tatsu. He calls out Yoshi, but when he doesn’t, he says that’s Yoshi’s problem. He doesn’t take anything seriously, whereas Tyson was “the best thing to come out of the Hart family dungeon.” That’s how he knows he’s better than Yoshi Tatsu. He says the characters don’t scare him, but yet another character flashes onscreen. Yoshi’s music hits and out comes Yoshi in very different attire. It looks something like a traditional Japanese warrior, complete with a mask. Striker asks if it’s The Great Muta. Yoshi takes off the mask, and half of his face is painted.
