Joe, Cesaro, Axel and Sandow enter the building the week after Joe's turn, and Joe explains his turn quite simply. He says that he was turned down by WWE a decade ago, when he was a decade stronger, a decade younger and a decade more positive about pro wrestling. He says that he signed with WWE so that he could claim his legacy, and when he got here, he saw names that he trained with and starred with like John Cena, Daniel Bryan and CM Punk had already claimed a legacy that should've been his. Now, he's going to keep any other young wrestlers interested in stealing his legacy away from doing so. Without warning, out comes Solomon Crowe, who gets ready to say something, then is attacked from behind by Baron Corbin. Baron laughs at him, then proceeds to give Crowe the End of Days on the stage. He walks down to the ring as Cesaro says, "meet out insurance policy," as Corbin shakes hands with the established crew in the ring. There's now a new lethal quintet on top of NXT.
