#14: Why haven't I been in front of the audience since TO: BKIV? Why would I: I don't have a #1c with Aleister and Johnny gone. I truly am the Last Man Standing, the main event, the champ, and the greatest sports entertainer of all time. I film these little vignettes on my time because the top of the food chain doesn't need to hear the voices of sheep. The entire world hears me, but only a few truly hear me. Follow the lead of YOUR NXT World Heavyweight Champion. ends transmission

Lars Sullivan: Mr. Regal, I am medically cleared, and I was going to find Black since I owed him a jaw bre – ahem – visit, but I heard him scream and by the time I arrived he was laid out already and you were checking on him. Besides, ask EC3 if I'm the sort of man who runs and hides after I lay someone out.
Master Regal: I would, but he isn't cleared. However, you also attacked Raul Mendoza, he is cleared, and you will face off next week. Confine your brutality to the ring, if you would.
Lars: (smiling) Absolutely.
