This week on NXT, Breakker confronted Ciampa and requested the shot at the title. Ciampa agreed, but said he wasn’t ready to be NXT Champion in his NXT. Ciampa then slapped Breakker, which caused Breakker to attack and get the upper hand to close the segment.

Breakker lost to Ciampa in a championship match on NXT TV earlier this year.
