This week's NXT saw Edge make his first appearance on the Black & Gold brand. Midway through the show he interrupted a confrontation between Finn Balor and Pete Dunne, saying that he may use his Royal Rumble victory give himself an NXT Championship match against the winner of their NXT TakeOver: Vengeance Day match. But as he left the Capitol Wrestling Center he was immediately confronted by Karrion Kross.

"You have a very big decision to make," Kross said. "It's a moment you're going to have to live with for the rest of your life. So I hope you choose logically, not emotionally. Because in the end it's not going to be Pete Dunne or Finn Balor. It's going to be me, taking back the title that I never lost. Because time tells all, even for the 'Ultimate Opportunist.'"

Edge, unshaken by Kross' threat, responded, "Sounds threatening. You see, here's the thing with words like that — they can be motivating. That can motivate me to come back here. I don't know if you'd like that."

Kross won the NXT Championship from Keith Lee back at NXT TakeOver XXX, but had to relinquish it four days later due to a separated shoulder injury. He returned to television in December but still hasn't challenged Balor for the brand's top prize.

Surprisingly, this isn't Kross' first interaction with a big WWE star this week.

"Sounds good to me," Kross responded.

TakeOver: Vengeance Day will take place at the CWC on Feb. 14. Check out the updated card below:

  • NXT Championship: Finn Balor vs. Pete Dunne
  • NXT Women's Championship: Io Shirai vs. Toni Storm vs. Mercedes Martinez
