Matt Striker is in the center of the ring and he welcomes us to NXT. Matt says that there are some unanswered questions after last week. It is time for the rookies to come to the ring. The pros come to the ring to join their rookies and they face off in the ring.
Matt tells the rookies that he knows they have questions. Instead of explaining why the pros did what they did, the pros will explain why they did it. Montel Vontavious Porter tells them to relax and take their angry expressions off their face. There will not be a confrontation tonight. There won’t be any finger wagging or brow beating. He says that last week was an initiation. It is a privilege and honor to be a WWE superstar and they are not going to be given it easily. There might have been an underlying meaning behind last week’s attack. They paid for the transgressions of the people from Season one. They are going to teach the rookies and they both need to work hard. This class of rookies are going to do it the right way. He wants to know if they are willing to take that step and move forward. He wants to know if they can let bygones be bygones. He wants to know if they are cool.
