Ciampa then set up a table in the middle of the ring and demanded that Cole sign a contract so that they could meet at NXT TakeOver: Portland on Feb. 16. NXT general manager William Regal and Cole came out with Regal announcing that Cole had already signed a contract to face Ciampa for his title.

Cole then headed for the ring and used a microphone to attack his rival which left him with a bloody head. Ciampa survived the assault and then promptly Powerbombed Cole through the table. Ciampa signed the contract with his blood, making the future championship match official.

Nox's friend Candice LaRae arrived onto the scene to stop Kai from using the chair. Nox, inside the ring, then nailed Kai with the knee brace followed by the Shiniest Wizard for the three count.
