Full Sailors: You deserve it! clap clap clapclapclap You deserve it! clap clap clapclapclap
Johnny: WE deserve it, because in Phoenix we were validated when I won this. holds up the belt I am YOUR NA champ, and I'm proud to say Johnny Wrestling is back!
PA: ♫ NO ONE WILL SURVIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIVE~! ♫
#14: Johnny, I'm not out here to take away from your moment--I'm here to celebrate it. See, in Phoenix you showed the world what I already knew--how to listen. How to follow my lead. You have the North American, I have the Big X--we own the world! This is everything we used to talk about when we traveled the roads trying to make it to NXT. The
Your Writer: suddenly coughs
#14: last
Your Writer: is suddenly fine again
#14: image of us with all the gold -- look at me -- this is our moment. holds up Goldie and smiles
Full Sailors: DIY! DIY! DIY!
Johnny: No. There is no our moment. The only reason I came out that night was to show you face to face that I will never need you.
PA: Hit it!
Full Sailors: Velveteen! Velveteen! Velveteen!
Velveteen: This is cute! DIY champions once again. But tonight isn't about Gollum and his precious Goldie or Johnny Badass--let's talk about the moment and the man who stole Takeover by simply showing up.
Full Sailors: Velveteen! Velveteen! Velveteen!
Velveteen: Let's also not forget that while you were working on your fairy tale endings, I won the Worlds Collide tournament -- so I get a championship opportunity of my choosing. Would you care to guess whom I'm choosing?
#14: steps up and gets in Dream's face
Velveteen: I'm gonna need you to back up, Pixar villain. I see that lust in your eyes for the Dream, maybe wanting some more spotlight with another experience--but the Dream is over you, so I don't want that. heads into the ring
Full Sailors: Velveteen! Velveteen! Velveteen!
Velveteen: (face to face with Johnny for the first time in a few months...since he beat him) I want you.
Johnny: (mildly incredulous) You want me?
Full Sailors: Take his title! clap clap clapclapclap Take his title! clap clap clapclapclap
Johnny: Since you're so preoccupied with yourself, let me remind you that while you were sitting in the crowd? I was putting on another MOTY in PHX, winning this title, and then the next night in front of nearly 50k strong I was representing NXT & the NXT Universe. I'm on top of the world right now, and I'm feeling a little dangerous. smiles like...well, guess You should go for it. I WIN.
Velveteen: Maybe you do. The question the Dream and these people have is this: will I get Johnny Champion or Johnny Jackass?
Full Sailors: Johnny Jackass! clap clap clapclapclap Johnny Jackass! clap clap clapclapclap
Both Men In the Ring: talk off mic smack
Johnny: leaves the ring -- then notices Ciampa
Both Men Outside of the Ring: eye each other
