"Welcome back to NXT. Our eight new rookies just tried to compete, but our lovely Parker Maddison had schooled the boys by matching over half of the songs to their Superstar. But now, we're going to hear a little bit about each rookie." Striker said.

The Titantron then started showing a video of Joshua Bander. "My name is Joshua Bander. I'm twenty-seven. And I'm the next break out Superstar." It then showed a picture of him as a toddler sitting on a surf board with an older man. "When I was little, all I ever wanted to be was a pro surfer like my dad. He started this dynasty for our family. Ever since he went pro, my older brother and sister trained to be pros." It then showed a picture of him sitting between two older kids who everyone assumed were his sister and brother. "When I was seven, my brother and sister were fighting over the remote one night. And while they weren't looking, I snatched it and started changing the channel. I kept pushing that button, y'know, click, click, click. And I don't know why, but after a few clicks, the remote stopped working. I was mad until I saw that it stopped on a channel that showed two men in a wrestling ring. My brother and sister stopped fighting when they saw what I was watching, so they turned and sat with me, and after that night, I was hooked." A home video played of Joshua in high school, wrestling in a wrestling ring in the gym. "My family worried. And it's not uncommon for family to worry about you, so when I went to college, I got my degree in engineering, and they calmed down a little. But while I was doing my job at the local autoshop, I was practicing wrestling." It then showed Joshua standing in the ring and staring at the camera. "I don't care who I have to face. I don't care what I have to overcome. I'm gonna win this season of NXT."

"Wow. You seem determined, Joshua." Striker said. "Well, let's see what Kale had to say."

The Tron showed a video of Kale Robins. "My name is Kale Robins. I'm thirty-two years old. And I'm the next break out Superstar." It then showed a picture of Kale as a toddler being held by an older woman. "I was raised by my momma. She's the strongest person I know. The one thing she taught me was to work hard for what you want or you won't get it." It then showed Kale as a teenager in a picture with a another teenage boy standing next to Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka. "My first time watching wrestling was with my uncle. He worked as one of the stage hands for World Wrestling Federation. He got tickets for me and my friend, Elijah, and they were front row seats for WrestleMania VII. And the match I remember being the most excited about was The Undertaker vs Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka. I thought Jimmy was so cool, even though he lost. And my uncle let me and Elijah go backstage to meet him. "I saw him and I was like all, 'Yeah, man! You were so amazing! I wanna do that stuff!' And he told me, 'If you really wanna do this, you gotta work hard and never give up.' So, I take it to heart." It then showed a picture of Kale with Elijah and both were holding what looked like tag team title belts. "Elijah and I had the same dream, but he felt he wasn't quite ready. He told me, 'Go on ahead, I'll meet ya there.' I don't care about the other rookies. I'm here to win."

"Okay, Kale. Wow, Jimmy Snuka. That's incredible. Now, let's here from Steven."

The Tron then showed a video of Steven. "G'Day. I'm Steven Logan. I'm twenty-six years old. And I'm the next break out Superstar." It showed what looked like a seven-year-old Steven holding a joey kangaroo. "I've always thought that my future would be with animals. Being from Queensland, everywhere you look, there's wildlife. Even when I was a kid, everyone would call me the next Steve Irwin or this generation's Dundee. I just laugh it off, all in good fun." A picture of Steven as a teenager standing next to an older woman, both in front of a building with a sign that read "Logan's Second Chances", and Steven was holding a baby fox with a black collar around its neck. "My mum owned a rescue center for as long as I can remember, still does to this day." A recent picture of Steven showed that he was holding up a five foot crocodile. "I actually gained my wrestling ability by literally wrestling with the crocs. Rescuing them, you've gotta restrain them, and it's a two-person job. I would restrain them while Mum would use the rope. I got bigger and stronger and eventually, I started wrestling in bars and was seen by a talent scout. I tried out for WWE, got in, and here I am today. I'm not here to make friends, I'm here to prove myself."

"Okay, I'll admit, that was cool. Alright, next we have Ayres."

A video of Ayres started. "My name is Ayres Maia. I'm thirty years old. And I'm the next break out Superstar." A picture of Ayres in a gym with two older boys was shown. "Living in Brazil, it's never easy. My brothers always teased me about being the smallest boy in the family. Even my mother would call me her 'Macaco Pequeno' which, in Portuguese, means Little Monkey." A picture showed Ayres at seven years old with his older brothers in a wrestling ring standing next to Chris Jericho when he was in the Mexican Circuit. "My first time watching wrestling was when my family went to Mexico on vacation. My dad bought tickets to watch this guy who called himself 'Corazón de León', and he was an amazing high flyer. And some time later, I was watching WCW and saw the same guy go by the name 'Chris Jericho'. I was amazed at the fact that he went from wrestling in Indy Circuits to a famous professional wrestling industry like World Championship Wrestling." A picture of Ayres as a teenager playing soccer. "The only sports that I loved were soccer and wrestling. But there are no professional wrestling lessons for kids. So, until I went to college, I played soccer, which actually taught me speed and to be light on my feet." A home video of Ayres showed him executing a perfect moonsault and pinning his opponent. "My wrestling career in Indy Circuits has been incredible. But I'm ready to take the WWE by storm. No one deserves this opportunity more than I do."

"That's really cool, Ayres. Next is Holata." Striker said.

Holata's video started. "My name's Holata Middleton. I'm twenty-five years old. And I'm the next break out Superstar." It showed a picture of Holata as a little boy holding one big fish with each hand. "I was raised by my father and mother. My father's half Seminole and my mother's Cherokee, which means I'm two different Native Americans. My name is actually Seminole for Alligator." It then showed a picture of him as a teenager holding a coyote pup. "Being raised by Native Americans in the Everglades, you learn how to take care of yourself before you become a teenager. By then, you're considered half a man. And with my family, when you become half a man, the leader gives you a challenge to overcome in life. Mine is to fight for my people. When I say 'my people', I mean my loved ones as well as my heritage." It then showed Holata in a home video. In it, he's in a wrestling ring and he picks his opponent up and slams him down with a Facebuster. "Of course, I thought it meant to literally fight, but now that I'm older, I actually am proud of what I've done in my past." A picture of Holata showed him holding a little girl in his arms. "I made myself strong. But my daughter, Hachi, makes me even stronger. When she sees me in the ring, she cheers when I win. And when I lose, she'll tell me that I'll get them next time. Her name actually means 'stream'. She told me that she couldn't wait to see me on TV. But I think she's more excited about me being in the same ring as CM Punk, who, besides me, happens to be her favorite wrestler." He chuckled as he said the last sentence. He then looked into the camera."For not only myself, but my baby girl as well, I'm gonna win NXT."

The Universe said "aww". Punk chuckled and gave Holata two thumbs up. Striker then continued. "Jackson, let's hear about you."

Jackson's Video started. "My name is Jackson Gilmore. I'm twenty-six years old. And I'm the next break out Superstar." A picture of Jackson as a boy standing with Edge and Christian was shown. "My heroes were, for most of my life, Edge and Christian. Going to the Pay Per View where the first tag team ladder match took place, I was there in the crowd, on my feet, giving both teams a standing ovation. And I even went to RAW is WAR the next night. I had managed to find them and a picture with them." The next picture was of him shanding in front of a high school. "Everyone in high thought I was a joke. But after I started working out and getting bigger, guys were afraid of me, and the chicks drooled over me. I was in the locker room by myself and was changing one time, and I hear giggling. I turn around and find two cheer leaders trying to watch me undress. It was then that I realized I needed to find a promotion that would hire me. If chicks were sneaking around just to watch me get naked, then I needed to do more that show off in front of them." A of Jackson picture holding up a championship belt was shown. "I love wrestling more than anything else. They might as well give a contract to sign, 'cause I'm gonna win anyway."

"A little over confident, aren't ya, Jackson?" Striker joked. "Now, next up is Chimo."

"My name is Chimo Ortiz. I'm twenty-seven years old. And I'm the next break out Superstar." A picture of Chimo as a kid being held up on an older man's shoulder in a wrestling ring that looked like it was in a backyard. If you looked close enough, you could see it was Eddie Guerrero. "I was born in El Paso, Texas. And being from El Paso, you were an idiot if you didn't know who Eddie was. I was his neighbor as a kid. And everyday, after I finshed chores or homework, I'd go next door to hang out with the Guerreros. And out of all of them, it was Eddie who took me on as a prodigy. He taught me the things that were key when it came to high flying." A picture of Eddie and Chimo was shown with both of them in the air doing a Frog Splash on opposite sides of the ring. "I was too young to be in WCW and WWE at the time he left, but he found ways for me to be a part of it. That street fight between Eddie and Cena, I was one of the guys in the lot. It took a lot of restraint not to beat him down before Eddie got there." A picture of Chimo in a wrestling ring, wearing a Guerrero shirt and pointing to the sky. "When Eddie passed, it killed me. It was before I was going to move to Mexico City when I heard about it. I stayed for the funeral and the reading of the will. When they read the will, it said that he left four of his low riders to me, saying 'Chimo, you're the son I never had and I'm proud of you. Go chase that dream, Homie.' I know I'm not Eddie, but No One Can Beat Latino Heat. And I plan to bring back Latino Heat." Chimo then looked up. "Viva La Raza, Bro."

Everyone cheered for Chimo. "Chimo, I'm holding you to that promise." Chimo nodded before Striker went to the last rookie. "And last, but most certainly not least, Parker Maddison. Why do I have a feeling that this will be interesting?" Everyone chuckled as Parker sheepishly shrugged.

"My name is Parker Maddison. I'm twenty-three years old. And I'm the next break out Superstar." A picture of Parker as a toddler, being held up by an older man, with six boys standing around him was shown. "I was raised with my six brothers by my father. I think I practiced being a wrestler more growing up than in college. I'm the youngest of seven kids, and to top it all off, I'm the only girl." A picture of a younger Shawn Michaels, Triple H and Chyna, who was hugging Parker. "My dad couldn't afford much, mostly because he was a single dad, and if that's not bad enough, he had to provide for seven children. But one day, Dad had was taking me home from the dentist and on the way, we saw a car on the side of the road. My Dad always talks about Karma, so he decided to help. We walked over to offer help. And Dad didn't watch wrestling nearly as much as me and my brothers, so he didn't know who it was. All he said was, 'Wow, you guys are big.' The people who were in that car were Shawn Michaels, Triple H and Chyna. I was like all, "No, Dad! That's D-Generation X. Hbk, I'm a huge fan. Triple H, you are so cool. Chyna, you're tougher than most boys.' They smiled and Dad helped them with a flat. After words, Dad decided to take a picture." It then showed a picture of Parker as a teenager wearing a Stone Cold shirt that read F*CK FEAR' and holding up a sign that read:

IF YOU THINK
ERIC BISCHOFF
IS MISSING HIS NUTS
GIVE ME A HELL YEAH!

"My brothers treated me just like they treated each other. I toughened up so I could keep up. By the time I was in high school, I could wrestle any man who challenged me." Another picture showed Parker wearing a Christian shirt that read 'HIT THE SWITCH!' and holding a sign that read:

VINTAGE
PEEP!

with and arrow pointing down. "Some people ask me if I think I'll go pro and wrestle guys like Randy Orton or John Cena. And my answer is I don't think, I know."

"I knew it would be entertaining." Parker smiled at Striker's comment. "Looks like you got a serious Peep here, Christian."

Christian smiled winked at her. Parker nearly screamed. Thankfully, she bit her tongue in time.

"Okay, tonight, every rookie face each other in a Battle Royal. The winner will not only receive immunity, but will replace Michael Cole on commentary on this week's SmackDown! and next week's RAW." Everyone screamed in excitement. "So, rookies, go back to the lockerrooms and quickly change into your ring gear, 'cause that match is gonna happen next."
