Even though her character was a heel, Io Shirai was still getting fan support from the NXT Universe; the Genius of the Sky was embracing the support and leaned slowly to a face turn, but more of a tweener. Her theme played and the fans instantly cheered and chanted her name.
Io had a match against Taynara Conti as the Genius of the Sky continues to climb the ever competitive NXT ladder to earn her way to an NXT Women's title match against the longest reigning champion, the Queen of Spades Shayna Baszler. Io loved her leather attire which brought the best parts of her body.
As the bell rang, Io immediately went on the offense against Taynara.
(Backstage)
While Io's match was going, NXT general manager William Regal stood outside and saw a limo pulled up. The door opened and out came one of NJPW's names Vasil Rivera. Vasil was a former 3 time IWGP Intercontinental Champion.
William: Vasil, welcome
Vasil: so this is NXT?
William: yes, I was expecting you; follow me and we'll finalize your contract
Vasil: lead the way sir
Vasil followed William to the office and saw Triple H.
Triple H: Vasil Rivera
Vasil: nice to meet you, sir
Triple H: you're one of the biggest names in Japan, I've seen your work
Vasil: thank you sir
Triple H: well let's finalize your contract; just sign on the dotted line
Vasil read through the contract and he put pen on paper. Triple H and William then signed and the contract was finalized.
Triple H: congratulations, welcome to the NXT family
Vasil: thank you sir
William: as for your debut, do you want to be in action tonight?
Vasil: yes, I want to show the NXT Universe what I have
William: okay, you'll be facing against Shane Thorne, good luck
Vasil: thank you sir
Vasil exited the office and went down to his locker room, but then he saw a familiar face. The familiar face was his best friend Adam Cole.
Vasil: Adam Cole...
Adam: BAY-BAY!
The two hugged each other.
Adam: what are you doing here, man?
Vasil: well let's just say, I signed!
Adam: no way
Vasil: it's true, I'm now part of NXT
Adam: oh that's sweet man, we're back together
Vasil: first Japan and now here
Adam: anyways, do you have a match?
Vasil: yes later tonight
Adam: I can't wait to watch you in action
Vasil: you know where the locker room is?
Adam: yes, I'll bring you there
Vasil: thanks man
Adam led Vasil to the men's locker room. The NXT Champion stopped at the door with Vasil's name on it.
Adam: here you are
