Opening tonight's episode of NXT, current NXT Champion Finn Balor was set to cut a promo before he got interrupted by a number of NXT stars such as Damian Priest, Kyle O'Reilly and Pete Dunne. In the end, Scarlett, on Kross' behalf, appeared to give Balor a message. Balor walked out of the stage, saying that he's ready for when Kross returns from injury.

Kross suffered a shoulder injury during a match against Keith Lee for the NXT Championship at NXT TakeOver: XXX, which Kross won. Both Kross and WWE confirmed the injury after the event, and Kross vacated the title as a result of the injury. Teasers of Kross' return had been airing on NXT television in recent weeks.
