A/N: before I get started I want to share some sad news.

Rest in Peace Larry Steve (2017-2021)

A few days ago, Alexa's beloved pet pig Larry Steve was feeling serious ill, and the Goddess reached out to a lot of veterinarians for help, but they all couldn't help him because they said he was too big. Larry has passed away or what Alexa said, that "Larry gained his angel wings."

My condolences go out to Alexa and her family.

Larry's life mattered.

(A month later, NXT)

With Karrion Kross locking target on his NXT Championship, Kenji looks to send a message to the Devil himself in tonight's match.

The champ is scheduled to face Cameron Grimes, but the Samurai has a surprise planned for the live crowd at Full Sail University tonight.

Meanwhile Kross also has a match as well going against the British brawler Danny Burch as the feud between Kenji and Karrion is slowly building up in an apocalyptic showdown.

Meanwhile, with the other champions of NXT, there was a title change involving the NXT Tag titles as Imperium's Marcel Barthel and Fabian Aichner defeated Johnny and Tommaso after Gargano betrayed his tag team partner the same way Ciampa did back at Takeover: Chicago a few years back.

Now Johnny has taken up the gimmick with his wife Candice LeRae as they do things their way, or what they call it, the Gargano Way.

As for Tommaso, he has now formed an alliance with Timothy Thatcher in the tag team division.

As for the NXT Women's title picture, Io and Kairi's friendly rivalry is shaping up as their Stardom memories continue to light up the feud.

Io and Kairi are involved in a tag team match against The Way's Candice LeRae and Indi Hartwell, the opening match for tonight's NXT as ordered by GM William Regal.

The women made their entrances and the match went underway.

(Kairi and Io vs. Candice and Indi)

The match was back and forth between the two teams. There was nearly some miscommunication between the Pirate Princess and Genius of the Sky, but the two Joshi wrestlers managed to work like a well-oiled machine.

Io flattened both LeRae and Hartwell with a moonsault on the outside. The legal woman for The Way was Indi; Io rolled her back in the ring and tags in Kairi.

The Pirate Princess climbed to the top turnbuckle and flattens Hartwell with the Insane Elbow for the pinfall win as the Sky Pirates were victorious in the match.

As the Sky Pirates celebrated, Io saw the NXT Women's Championship laying on the ring, the Genius of the Sky picked up the title while the crowd were reacting to it as they may see the next champion. 

Io went to give the title to Kairi, and as the Pirate Princess got a grip on the strap, Io did not release her grip on the title. Kairi and Io had their hands on the belt straps as they stared each other down while they smirked at each other.

Then Io and Kairi shook hands as the Genius of the Sky let go of the strap she was holding. Kairi raised her title up as their match at the next NXT Takeover is down the road and peeking behind the corner.

The next match was the one-on-ine match between Kenji and Cameron Grimes, along with the fact, that the crowd will get to see Shin Kenji for the first time on TV.

The Technical Savage has already made his entrance as he attempts to score an upset win over the NXT Champion, hopefully getting his status to the moon.

Then the arena went dark and the theme of Shin Kenji played.

(A/N: entrance at 1:36)

Fog surrounded the stage as purple lasers light the arena. After a few seconds, the NXT Champion appeared on stage with his head bowed down and eyes closed. He then slowly raised his head and open his eyes to reveal his purple eye contacts.

Kenji walked down with a look of intimidation. As he got in the ring, Cameron hastily got out of the ring and back up to the announcer's table, showing real fear. Kenji removed his scale designed entrance robe and give his NXT title to the referee.

(Shin Kenji vs. Cameron Grimes)

Shin Kenji stared down at Cameron with an intimidating glare on his face. Grimes shook his head, but the referee told him to get in. The Technical Savage slowly and cautiously went to the ring apron and then slowly got inside.

Cameron was shaking in fear while Shin Kenji stood still motionless. As the bell rang, Kenji lunged, scaring Grimes and making him roll out of the ring.

Shin Kenji pursued Grimes and managed to catch up with him and threw him back in the ring.

As Shin Kenji got back in the ring, Grimes landed some cheap shots, but the impact did not register, but it only made the Shin Samurai angrier. The NXT Champion furiously grounded Grimes with a monstrous clothesline.

(End of match)

Grimes managed to land the Cave In on the Shin Samurai, but as Cameron went for the pin, Kenji sat up, making Cameron fall back scared. As Grimes attempted to escape, Kenji caught his leg and pull him back down to lock in the Ghidorah.

Kenji had the submission locked in tight in the middle of the ring while Grimes screamed in pain and had no choice but to tap out.

Shin Kenji stood up as the referee handed him his title. As Kenji raised his championship, the arena lights went out, and after a few seconds, a lone spotlight shined on the ring with an hourglass counting the sand down.

Kenji knelt down and examined the hourglass, knowing it's a warning sign from Karrion Kross and Scarlett.

(Time skip)

It was time for the last match of the night as Karrion Kross goes up against Danny Burch. Burch was already in the ring while his tag team partner Oney Lorcan pumped him up.

Kross and Scarlett made their black and white entrance while the crowd chanted, "Fall and Pray!"

(Karrion Kross vs. Danny Burch)

From the opening bell, Burch ran and connected multiple punches while Kross covered in defense mode in the corner, the referee pulled him out for a break. Burch launched again and connected a few more punches.

Kross recovered and as Burch attempted for another punch, Kross ducked out of the way and took down Burch with a vicious clothesline. Kross looked down and gritted his teeth while he is now dominating.

Kross connected with a German suplex and then splashed Burch in the corner. Then Karrion turned his attention to Lorcan who was on the apron.

Kross grabbed Lorcan and threw in the ring. Then he got him from behind and neutralizes Oney with a Doomsday Saito suplex.

Lorcan tried to roll out, but Kross caught him and nails another Doomsday Saito. Then Karrion turned his attention back to Burch and connects with another Doomsday Saito.

He then measured Burch as Kross rotates his right arm. Then as Burch was wobbling on his feet. Kross tapped his wrist and said:

Kross: Tick Tock! Time's up!

Then Kross took down Burch with a vicious forearm smash to the back of the head. Then he finished the British brawler by locking in the Kross Jacket, forcing Burch to tap out.

Scarlett got in the ring and raised Kross' arm while the Devil gritted his teeth. Then the arena went dark and a spotlight shined on Karrion and Scarlett.

However, the two were interrupted by the sound of Godzilla's roar.

Kross and Scarlett looked around for any ambush as the spotlight that shined on them turned into the familiar shade of purple.

Then the screen showed burning flames and Kross and Scarlett saw some Japanese lettering in bright Shin Godzilla like purple as it translates to English.

カリオン・クロス、お前は滅びる

(Karrion Kross, you will perish)

Then the final shot on screen shows Shin Godzilla firing his atomic breath, making the screen fade white.

Kross knows that this was a warning from Kenji. He then turned to the camera and fired a warning to the NXT Champion while he tapped his wrist as the show ended.

Kross: Tick Tock! Time's up, Mr. Cruz!
