Last night, former indie star Donovan Dijak had his NXT television debuted thwarted by Ricochet, and not because he lost to the new NXT sensation. Following the match, Ricochet’s current nemesis, Velveteen Dream, came down the ring to taunt his opponent for NXT Takeover: Chicago by telling Ricochet that “anything you can do, I can do better.” After repeated taunts of the same line, Ricochet launched into a somersault over the top ropes, landing in front of Velveteen Dream and responded simply “Then show me.” (The move is set up around 1:55 in the video below).

Interestingly, following the match, Velveteen Dream changed his Twitter profile to a photo of Ricochet under the Prince Puma match from his time with Lucha Underground and tweeted the following:
If U Get 2 B KING
I Get 2 B PRINCE
