From a two-time NXT Tag Team Champion with his best friend, his brother, to having their world explode.

Roxanne and Cora come out to the ramp. Rose says Perez needs to realise a couple of wins aren’t going to get her a title shot. Don’t be delusional. She doesn’t want to cash-in her contract on her. Perez says she does feel on top of the world but that’s because she knows she’s earned every bit of her dream. And dreams are better when you can share them with your friend.
