[ring annoucer] Welcome inside the NXT arena
on the campus of Full Sail University in Orlando, Florida.
The future of WWE is poised to take over.
This is NXT TakeOver: Fatal 4-Way.
[song in Spanish]
[Renee] These guys are ready for action tonight.
[Byron] And you are looking at the number one contenders
of the NXT tag-team championships, Kalisto and Sin Cara,
the veteran WWE superstar. There's Kalisto!
[woman shouts]
[ring annoucer] Two of the most dynamic,
two of the most high-flying superstars we've ever seen.
[Renee] The following contest is scheduled for 1 Fall
and it is for the NXT tag team championship!
Introducing first at a combined weight of 370 pounds,
Sin Cara and Kalisto!
[narrator] Well, right now let's take you back and show you
how these two superstars earned the number one contender spot.
It was in the number one contender's tag team championship tournament,
eight teams entered the tournament.
First up, Wesley Blake and Buddy Murphy for this young team.
And we would see right off the bat how well Kalisto and Sin Cara
could work with each other.
[Renee] They gelled immediately and, you know what,
I think that's exactly what we're looking forward to tonight.
[Byron] Moving on to round two,
it's the team of Sami Zayn and Adamrose.
Sin Cara picking up the pinfall victory.
They would advance to the finals
to face the Vaudevillians last week on NXT and what a match this was.
Kalisto and Sin Cara have shown us
things we haven't seen before and this is what earned them
this shot here tonight at the Tag Team Champions.
[Renee] To say that this team is ready is a huge understatement.
[Song in Spanish]
[Cheers & applause]
[Rock music]
[Renee] And their opponents, at a combined weight of 501 pounds,
they're your NXT tag team champions,
Conor Viktor, The Ascension!
[Byron] The Ascension have held the NXT Tag Team titles
for nearly a year, 344 days.
They are the longest-reigning champions of any kind in NXT's history.
[Renee] And of course Sin Cara and Kalisto have the opportunity
to finally bring an end
to destruction that The Ascension has caused.
[Byron] You look at these two men,
there's a reason why over the last year as the Tag Team Champions,
so many teams, upon realizing
they would have to face Conor, they would have to face Viktor,
second guess themselves realizing what they would have to face.
[Renee] No one has been quite up to the challenge except for tonight
in Sin Cara and Kalisto.
[Byron] This is the first time these two teams will meet.
Guys, how about what the COO, Triple H, said earlier this week
on WWE.com, quote, "The Ascension are the most dominant
Tag Team I've seen in the last ten years anywhere."
-That's hard to argue. -It is.
[Renee] That's a very valid point.
They're the longest reigning champions here.
[Fans chanting]
[Renee] But tonight we could see some new champs.
[Byron] But this isn't the first time The Ascension has heard
this could be the night you lose, this could be the night you go down.
They have faced everyone.
There was a time not long ago
that Conor Viktor called out
any team that wanted to challenge them for the Tag Team title.
[Renee] Yeah, so Byron, you can't deny the way that Sin Cara and Kalisto
gelled from the second they paired up.
[Byron] So this is Viktor to start things off against Sin Cara.
The Ascension winning the championships
in October of 2013
from our now current NXT champion, uh!
Adrian Neville, and the submission specialist, Corey Graves.
[Renee] I actually had an opportunity
to talk to Sin Cara and Kalisto earlier in the day and they said
they'd bring more excitement and a new life to the Tag Team titles.
[Byron] Oh!
[Renee] And tonight it's time to take them out of the dark.
[Byron] Oh, and again off the ropes!
Sin Cara looking fired up here early.
This is how they've been successful.
Moonsault from the second rope!
The cover on Viktor and a kick-out.
[Renee] This is a difference in styles
that's going to give them the edge here tonight.
Take a look at what is trending worldwide,
Tyler Breeze and Tyson Kidd, the NXT universe
looking forward to our main event
obviously, but right now
what a fantastic Tag Team match.
[Tom] That's why these men have been the gatekeepers
for the last year of the Tag Team division.
There is never a point you see Conor Viktor unprepared.
[Tom] There's the tag now, Conor legal.
Don't forget use the hashtag "NXT TakeOver"
tonight on social media.
A near 300 pound Conor spine first into the apron.
[Tom] That's what Conor does. He's the bulldozer of this team.
Mow you down at any cost.
[judge] Two!
[Byron] Sin Cara in trouble here.
Here's the cover from Conor and a kick-out at one.
[Tom] Byron, do you think we'll ever see
another tag team like The Ascension again here at NXT?
[Byron] No, no, not all. These two men are too distinctive.
I mean, look at the way they communicate, they barely even
verbalize what they want to do,
they just know what other's thinking the at all times.
[Renee] Don't you think though, we could have said that about the shield
when we first saw them as well and now look at where The Ascension are.
We've got more Tag Teams and more stars here
at NXT than ever before.
[Cheers & applause]
[Byron] There's the tag, back in comes Viktor.
We saw the efficiency and the brutality
here he comes again and a kick-out at one.
this past Tuesday night live here on the WWE network
on main event as The Ascension knocked off
Los Matadores in Convincing fashion.
[Tom] Shows you the confidence of this team.
There is no one.
They truly believe there is no one that can stop them.
[Byron] Looking for another cover here to retain the titles
and a kick-out by Sin Cara hanging in this match.
[Renee] Again Byron, you say no one can stop them
but you can't argue that they've never faced
a team like Sin Cara and Kalisto ever before.
[Byron] I said they believe no one can stop them, first of all.
Yeah, you're right, they haven't faced a team like Sin Cara and Kalisto.
This is going to be a test of how the champions can respond.
[Cheers & applause]
The Ascension defeated Too Cool
former WWE Tag Tteam champions at NXT arrival in February
and it was Kalisto who actually challenged for the Tag Team titles
at the last NXT TakeOver, perhaps a little bit
of an advantage for Kalisto.
[Tom] You think it's an advantage,
but you forget the advantage lies with the champions.
Remember the mantra of The Ascension,
we will rise, we will rise to new heights.
Who would have expected nearly a year later they would have risen
to be one of the greatest, if not the greatest Tag Team in NXT history?
[Renee] But how much more pressure does that put on them tonight?
They're the ones with something to lose.
[Byron] I don't think they feel the pressure.
Look at that face.
[Renee] When was the last time… [Byron] That's a face under duress?
[Renee] We got to see The Ascension in action on main event.
[Byron] Viktor just telling Kalisto, "you're next,"
as he's manhandling Sin Cara here in the middle of the ring.
Here you go. Looking for a power bomb.
Oh, man! Off the top rope!
There goes Viktor!
[Renee] That's exactly what Sin Cara
and Kalisto need to bring into this match.
[Byron] Viktor makes the tag, in comes Conor.
[Tom] Sin Cara's not moving!
[Byron] Drilled off the apron by Conor.
These two men thrive
on destroying the hopes and dreams
of their opponents.
[Tom] Look at this, Sin Cara was trying to reach out to make a tag
and Kalisto spilled out on to the floor.
[Byron] Oh no, oh! From behind, Conor!
All that weight crashing into the spine.
Again, into the cover, hook to the leg
for the championship and a kick-out.
[Tom] This puts a huge dent in the game plan of Sin Cara and Kalisto.
-[Crowd cheering] -[Byron] Oh!
[Renee] Well, you know, Lucha does mean to fight
and that the impossible can be possible
and tonight they could prove that exactly.
[Byron] Right now it's impossible to make a tag.
Look at this, Conor trying to slow down Sin Cara middle of the ring.
Oh!
What an enzuigiri!
Once again you see little movement from Sin Cara.
[Renee] Kalisto's getting ready to go.
[Byron] Conor's barely moving.
Wait a minute.
Trying to just hold on to Sin Cara here in the middle of the ring.
Almost 300 pound frame on the back of Sin Cara.
[Renee] Pure body weight.
[Byron] Look at that, Sin Cara trying
to drag Conor and Conor ripping at the luchador mask of Sin Cara.
Why is he cutting off the -- look at this! Look at this!
[Renee] Bulldozing him, literally.
[Byron] Sin Cara. Sin Cara flipped out and tag to Kalisto!
Top rope, crossbody.
[Tom] Here comes the human pinball!
-Here we go, here's the energy! -Just drilled Conor!
And again, to Conor!
[Tom] Now Viktor hold on, looking to take advantage here.
Goodness gracious!
-The cover to Viktor! -New tag champs!
[Byron] And Conor broke it up!
You have to slow down Kalisto and Sin Cara.
You do not want them moving at this high pace.
The Ascension got to get their heads straight here,
but Sin Cara and Kalisto are on a role.
Watch Sin Cara!
On to the steel ramp!
Conor and Sin Cara taken out.
Putting it all on the line right now,
NXT tag team titles on the line!
Kalisto!
Now both Conor and Viktor along with Sin Cara trying to regroup.
Kalisto might be looking for a sequel here!
[Renee] The NXT universe is behind them!
[Byron] Oh no.
[Tom] This isn't going to be good.
[Byron] Kalisto -- whoa!
Man's got nine lives!
Whoa!
[Renee] When one's not there, the other one backs him up.
[fans chanting]
These guys are going crazy for Sin Cara and Kalisto.
[Byron] I'll give them credit, they came here for a fight.
[Renee] I told you!
They're ready!
[Byron] Kalisto legal in this match against Viktor for his team.
Now Kalisto trying to bring things back into the center of the ring.
Kalisto going up top here.
Whoa!
Oh man!
-[Shouting] -[Cheers & applause]
This is not good!
I think they're getting a little bit worried about the position they've in.
[Byron] You've seen this for nearly a year, guys, Conor and Viktor
setting up for the fall of man.
Wait a minute, Sin Cara!
Sin Cara, shot to the side of the head of Conor!
Sin Cara knew it was coming too.
Now Viktor blasting Sin Cara.
[Renee] Great.
[Byron] Kalisto -- hold on.
[in Spanish] Salida del sol!
The cover from Kalisto!
The Ascension has fallen!
-We have new tag team champs! -Lucha, lucha
[Renee] Here are your winners and new NXT tag team champions.
They may be the biggest upset in NXT history.
[Byron] You got to be kidding me!
-You have got to be kidding me! -It is a new time.
Kalisto and Sin Cara have defeated The Ascension for the tag team titles?
Conor and Viktor's reign dies at 344 days.
Kalisto and Sin Cara topple the gatekeepers.
[Renee] It is time to turn the page in the tag team division.
[Fans chanting]
I'm sorry, did you ever think we would see this?
No, not in a million years!
[Byron] Let's take a look back at this championship match,
the high flying ability of Sin Cara and Kalisto.
The Ascension nearly put a stop to it here, and watch this.
Yeah, but just seemed like
Sin Cara nonstop hitting that go button and nothing could slow them down.
[Tom] Then meanwhile back in the ring it was Kalisto legal
against Viktor and Viktor trying
to stymie the offense from the luchadores.
[Renee] Absolutely amazing.
I'm so happy Sin Cara and Kalisto.
They represent the latino community, they represent the NXT universe.
[Byron] Perhaps one of the most surreal moments in the history of NXT.
We got new champions!
What a moment for Sin Cara and Kalisto.
And Byron, perhaps Kalisto's experience at NXT TakeOver
in May paying dividends here in this match.
Maybe it did.
The planning, the preparation literally paid off.
Biggest upset ever in the history of NXT.
[Tom] How proud has Sin Cara got to be?
Woo!
Sin Cara and Kalisto,
congratulations, our new NXT Tag Team champions!
Guys, how does it feel?
Thank you, Renee!
Woo! This feels incredible!
Ah!
We just beat the longest NXT
tag team champions in history!
[Speaking in language other than English]
Today we are the Lucha Dragons
and tonight the future starts now!
[Fans chanting in Spanish]
What a moment for the lucha dragons here to start off NXT takeover.
Ladies and gentlemen, we want to thank you for joining us here
for another NXT live special, but right now we want to give
pause and acknowledge not just those of you here in the United States,
but around the world that were affected by the 9-11 tragedies
13 years ago.
We here at WWE want to extend
our Sincerest thoughts and prayers to all of you tonight.
Being NXT champion, I feel it's given me validation.
I know a lot of people look at me and say, you know,
I shouldn't be where I'm at.
I take pleasure at proving them wrong.
If I have a message for the world,
I like to show that anything's possible, I'm living proof of that.
A lot of people, I won the championship,
they said I'd be a flash in the pan.
I feel like I've been dominant.
In 2014 I'm undefeated. Think about that.
At TakeOover I'd like to face Tyson Kidd, Tyler Breeze, Sami Zayn.
I chose this match and I chose this for a reason.
If you haven't noticed, I like to take risks.
So I'll face each and every one of you at the same time.
They call me the man that gravity forgot
and I'm going to make sure that everybody remembers that.
I've never been in a Fatal 4-Way
but I'd never been in a ladder match, but I beat Bo Dallas
and I became NXT champion.
If one thing above everything else, I am adaptable.
I got lots of surprises.
You haven't evening scratched the surface of Adrian Neville.
Notice maybe he's kind of getting a little bit of a bighead.
He's a confident champion.
I think there's a between being cocky, and believing yourself
and being sure of yourself.
Right now Adrian Neville is untouchable.
Sami Zayn, beaten him; Tyson Kidd, beaten him; Tyler Breeze, beaten him.
Now all I've got to do is beat them at the same time
and after TakeOver I'll leave like I usually do.
On top of the pile, NXT champion.
[Byron] There you see the champ preparing for the biggest defense of his reign.
Tonight Adrian Neville defends against Tyson Kidd,
Tyler Breeze, and Sami Zayn in a Fatal 4-Way match.
[Music]
[Renee] Oh God.
The following contest is scheduled for One Fall!
Introducing first, from Joliet, Illinois, weighing 227 pounds,
CJ Parker!
[Byron] You're taking a long look at the ego warrior, CJ Parker.
It was earlier tonight that CJ Parker demanded a match
from the new general manager, William Regal,
on the NXT TakeOver Fatal 4-Way pre-show.
[Renee] Sure did. And his opponent
already in the ring from Kansas City,
weighing 285 pounds, Baron Corbin!
I know thatBaron Corbin's a man that anybody
wants to go up against and you know what, CJ Parker, he went out there,
he begged and he pleaded, he picketed with his signs,
and now he's got this match tonight.
[Byron] CJ Parker is a walking billboard of awareness.
He believes in his strong believe to protect this planet,
to protect our health
and he wants to showcase his message tonight.
[Renee] He's a walking hot topic t-shirt is what he is.
[Tom] Well guys, William Regal gave CJ Parker with the ownness
that he would not know who his opponent is.
Take a look at Baron Corbin, 6'8", 275 pounds.
This is his official NXT debut.
[Renee] He's an imposing figure, no question.
I think it's about time CJ Pparker learned a lesson.
[Tom] Don't count out CJ Parker.
He wanted this, he knew to expect the unexpected
and I think we're going to see him deliver.
[Renee] He better.
This is his one shot.
[Byron] Oh, wow!
[Tom] Okay, that didn't go too well.
[Renee] Baron Corbin's delivering.
[Byron] Watch this!
-Watch Corbin. -Oh my god!
[Byron] Baron Corbin absolutely dominating on his debut!
[Renee] Baron Corbin!
[Byron] Well --
[Renee] There's one less carbon footprint to worry about.
[Tom] Byron, you're speechless.
[Byron] Yeah, I mean, I've seen Baron Corbin before.
I mean, he's almost 7 feet tall,
300 pounds, and literally made quick work of CJ Parker.
[Tom] Baron Corbin just left the arena.
And look at this, CJ Parker --
[Renee] Just a pile of dreadlocks, not feeling so hot.
[Tom] Take a look at this.
The absolute power of Baron Corbin
decimating CJ Parker in a match that Parker requested.
[Renee] Hopefully CJ Parker can be recycled now.
-This was real quick. -I am sure it was.
[Tom] Wow, careful what you wish for because CJ Parker
one more look here because it was that good.
-Take a look at this. -This is just nasty.
Knocks the head of CJ Parker face first into the mat.
[Renee] In the words of R-Truth, he got got.
[Tom] He got and some.
[Byron] Well, ladies and gentlemen,
we're rolling towards our main event,
a Fatal 4-Way for the NXT title.
How confident Tyson Kidd is
heading into our main event tonight. Take a look.
NXT takeover's a Fatal 4-Way for the NXT championship.
One individual is the greatest
high flier in the history of this industry, fact.
One individual has the most heart
and is a great innovator in that ring,
something he honed while in Japan, fact.
One individual is arrogant,
self-absorbed, but he looks like a million bucks
and he can get away with it, fact. One individual in this match
is probably the most dangerous human walking the planet,
something that he learned while in the dungeon, fact.
And then there's Sami Zayn, Adrien Neville and Tyler breeze,
they're in the match too. That's how I feel about my opponents.
[Renee] Tyson Kidd going to be a very dangerous man at TakeOver.
I want to win to prove to the world that I can get it done.
The NXT universe, here's the thing, I really am Natty's husband.
-You're just chanting a fact. -[Fans chanting]
Listen to these people. You don't think that's eating up Tyson Kidd?
Oh!
Is Natalya okay?
Oh, look out, look out!
Shoulders are down, and -- oh man.
[woman] He would rather get the victory
than worry about whether his wife is okay or not. It's disgusting.
At TakeOver my wife isn't involved.
I'm in it by myself for myself.
Tyson Kidd walks out NXT champion.
Fact.
[Byron] You can see Tyson Kidd getting ready for our main event
here tonight with his wife, Natalya by his side.
[Renee] Always supportive Natalya is.
[Byron] Later,Tyson in a Fatal 4-Way match for the NXT championship.
And coming up right now here,
guys, a hair versus hair match.
-Oh, this is going to be a good one. -I can't wait.
-[Renee] I live for this stuff. -The following contest
is scheduled for One Fall and it is a hair versus hair match.
The loser of this contest will have their head shaven bald.
Introducing first, accompanied to the ring by Marcus Louis
from the French Riviera, weighing 88 kilo, Sylvester Lefort!
[Tom] Look at these two.
Men of sophistication, men of class.
You can't tell me you would want to see
Sylvester Lefort lose his hair.
[Renee] First of all, I would love to see him bald,
but the only problem is he has insurance on his chest hair.
[Tom] Real funny. Real funny.
Well, this all got started between Sylvester Lefort
and Enzo Amore three weeks ago right here on NXT.
The legionnaires attacking Enzo
with more of a traditional razor here as a barber's tool.
This was after a match here on NXT.
It was Zo and Cass who actually
got a little more creative last week that we saw.
[Renee] Of course they did.
[Tom] Who is this?
Will you take care of Fifi for me?
I'm going into the next room to get a wax.
Yeah, wax this, idiot.
Something these two neanderthals clearly know nothing about.
How you doing?
Back up!
-Got that camera rolling? -Yeah, I got it.
It could have been one of those moments, where you lose a shoe.
-You know what I'm saying? -Yeah.
Enzo, you should try some of that cream on your chest,
-if it works. -Why don't you try it on yours?
I don't have any chest hair.
Well, why don't you try it on your head?
How about you just give me some of your chest hair?
[Shouting]
Stop it! Oh my god! Fifi!
You freakin' idiots!
Get the phone, make sure it ain't broken!
Carmella, calm down.
Sorry, Carmella.
-I am sorry. -Sorry. We didn't mean it.
-We didn't mean it. -I am sorry.
[Renee] Unbelievable.
That poor poodle, poor Fifi.
Disgusting.
[Tom] That shows you how unstable those two are.
[Byron] Lefort better be prepared for that kind of creativity.
[Music]
[Cheers & applause]
[Renee] Okay.
[Renee] I need to know more about that potion.
I talked to them and they're calling it the Victorious Secret Weapon.
My name is Enzo Amore
and I am a certified G
and a bona fide stud and you can't teach that.
And this right here, this is big Cass
and he's 7 foot tall and you can't teach that.
Bada boom, realest guys in the room!
How you doing?
[Renee] They told me that hair removal cream could actually
take the mane off of a horse.
[Tom] How about taking it off Enzo's head?
[Renee] Or Fifi the poodle.
[Tom] This has gotten very personal over the last few weeks, guys.
[Renee] A beard. He shaved the beard!
Sylvester Lefort!
Couple things are going to happen to you tonight, sweet boy.
One, I'm going to punch you in the mouth.
[Tom] Sweet boy.
Two, you're getting a haircut.
But what kind of haircut? What kind? I don't know.
-May give you a comb over. -How you doing?
-May give you a buzz cut. -How you doing?
May give you frosty tips.
[Fans chanting]
A mushroom.
[Fans chanting]
-May give you a Bob. -[Fans chanting]
Give you a weave.
[Fans chanting]
-I'll give you a Bob and a weave. -[Fans chanting]
-Or a pompadour! -[Fans chanting]
No, no, no, see, I'm a G and I keep it 100 fortunately.
But unfortunately
your options are limited to zero options
because your head is going in that bucket tonight at Takeover.
[Shouting]
[Cheers & applause]
And after your head goes in that bucket, there's going to be
only one word to describe both you,
and your head and I'm going to spell it out for you!
[Cheers & applause]
S-a-w-f-t, sawft!
How you doing?
[Byron] Ladies and gentlemen, we invite you to use the hashtag,
hair versus hair, naturally, to talk about this match.
[Renee] The only way to get in the conversation.
[Tom] Explain this to me,
Enzo Amore's walking around with that monstrosity of madness
And he has the nerve to talk about Sylvester?
He pays $500 a month to a specific artist in New York to carve that into his head.
[Byron] Well, he's clearly getting ripped off.
Look, he's got the leopard print on the side.
[Renee] What do you know about hair, Byron?
-Plenty. -You don't have any.
You don't have that much hair.
-You don't even have a cool fade. -It's an illusion.
[Fans chanting]
[Byron] Well, here we go.
Sylvester Lefort versus Enzo amore hair versus hair,
the loser goes bald.
And you can see the number one trend in the world, Baron Corbin
-cover and a kick-out.
How about the performance of Baron Corbin just moments ago?
[Renee] So impressive for him to come out here and have his official debut
at NXT at TakeOver and just be so dominant.
[Byron] Well, look at how the locks flow off of Sylvester Lefort.
I mean, taking off his hair is like taking away Superman's cape,
taking away hacksaw Jim Duggan's 2 by 4, taking away
Selena Gomez from Justin Bieber. You can't do it!
[Renee] First of all, they're already broken up, for one.
And second of all, he could use a trim, it's getting scraggly on the ends.
And I understand he wants it to be long and nice, but party's over.
[Tom] I mean, Renee, you've got the most hair out of the three of us
what kind of emotional scarring, emotional damage
are we looking at here as a result of this match?
[Renee] Definitely going to take one's confidence down, it would definitely
take way one's game with the ladies, no question.
So that -- oh, oh.
[Byron] That would be a big deal for Enzo.
Really wants that hair, Sylvester Lefort.
The cover, shoulders down on Lefort and a kick-out.
[Tom] Probably wished his hair looked like --
[Byron] I mean, we saw what that potion did to the dog's hair.
I mean, what's it going to do to that mane of Sylvester Lefort?
[Renee] He's going to be fully bald. I mean, that gets anywhere it's gone.
[Byron] What's it going to the mane of Enzo Amore?
Let's not make assumptions here.
[Tom] Marcus Louis trying to coach up Sylvester Lefort from ringside.
The legionnaires believe they're the example
of why French athletes are the most elite on the planet.
Enzo Amore slides under.
[Renee] There's no denying these guys are in fantastic shape.
They look good, they're going to look a little bit less good with no hair.
[Tom] Natural born scrapper, Enzo Amore.
[Byron] Once again, going after the hair.
[Tom] He might just rip it out.
-Do you like that, huh? -Oh!
[Renee] Go for a nice follicle transplant like Wayne Rooney.
[Laughter] [Byron] I'm not laughing.
[Renee] Make sure that stuff doesn't get near you, Byron.
You better watch your back.
[Byron] Well, now he's ripping out
the sideburns there for a moment-- oh!
And Lefort using the top rope for his advantage.
[Tom] Lefort told me this is a fight for his freedom.
His entire life he's had long hair.
He's had chest hair since he was 10 years old.
[Renee] Enzo told me that if this gets on Marcus in any capacity,
he said that Marcus is so ugly that when he cries,
tears run down the back of his face because he's so ugly.
-Oh, he called him ugly. -That's a quote.
[Byron] Such a great insult.
[Byron] Oh, you're ugly, you have cooties too.
[Renee] Grow up Byron.
-And a kick-out by Zo. -Grow up.
[Tom] Big Cass cheering on Enzo Amore from the corner.
Enzo amore and Colin Cassady,
childhood friends, grew up on the streets of New York together.
[Renee] Exactly. These guys are street guys from New York.
They know their way around the ring, they know their way around the streets.
-Around a barbershop. -Around a barbershop.
[Tom] Okay, so they met each other during a pickup game of basketball.
I guarantee you, it didn't prep them for this,
taking all the legionnaires hair versus hair match.
[Renne] Did you play basketball in New York?
It might prepare you.
[Tom] Nothing prepares you for this.
Your mental state.
Look at Sylvester Lefort.
You want to say anything about French culture?
They pride on their appearance,
on their aesthetic prowess.
[Renee] Enzo could leave him with a rat tail.
[Byron] Marcus Louis missed that message.
[Tom] Oh, on the back!
How you doing?
[Cheers & boos]
[Renee] I mean, if he were to lose his hair
at least he'd have more time to work
on his charming personality.
[Tom] Enzo Amore's in a lot of trouble here right now.
We could see the end of the leopard hawk.
I don't know what you'd call that one.
[Renee] Leopard-hawk sounds good, actually.
I think you could get that hashtag going.
[Tom] #LeopardHawk
Any man who treats his hair like a science experiment
needs help.
Lefort just mocking the NXT arena.
[Renee] This has gotten so personal between these two teams.
[Tom] Imagine you have a favorite pair of jeans
that you wear all the time
and then your wife throws them away.
How would you feel?
[Renee] Honestly, his hair's so ugly
he'd be better off without it.
I don't much care for it at all.
[Tom] You have no taste, that's the problem.
[Renee] Are you kidding me?
I'm very chic.
[screams in French]
Yeah, see, I even used a French word there.
You know any French?
[Tom] Enzo is trying to battle back.
[Renee] Here we go.
[Byron] Here's Paris. That's a French word.
[Renee] I want to get that bucket up here.
[Tom] Marcus Louis trying to get involved here.
[All] Oh!
[Tom] What a clothesline by Lefort! This could do it right here!
Hook to both legs on Enzo and a kick-out!
That's close.
[Renee] I'd be devastated for Enzo to lose that hair.
He put a lot of work into it.
[Tom] Look at that potion.
[Renee] You ever smelled that stuff?
-[Tom] It's got to burn your scalp. -[Renee] It reeks.
[Tom] Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Big Cass takes out Louis!
[Byron] What is he attacking Marcus for?
Because he was getting involved in the match!
[Tom] Whoa, whoa, whoa, wait a minute,
Enzo Amore's shoulders down!
Off with his hair! Frenchie's getting a shave!
[Renee] Let's get the bucket!
Bucket, bucket!
[Tom] No, no, no, no.
You can't do this.
[Renee] You signed up for this.
-[Byron] Yes, he totally can. -[Renee] Hair's gone.
[Tom] This is two out of three falls, right?
No, it's one!
This man's livelihood, you can't take his hair away!
[Renee] Oh, yeah.
[Tom] A deal's a deal. Run, Sylvester, run!
[Byron] Come on, maybe Enzo would reconsider.
-Maybe he'll change… -[Renee] I do feel bad for him.
-This is a very emotional moment. -[Tom] Oh, no.
[Fans chanting]
To the chair! To the chair!
[Tom] To the chair with him!
Oh, wait a min!
Sylvester Lefort is trying to get…
Oh, clothesline by Big Cass!
[Renee] He's got no choice.
[Byron] This is not fair!
[Renee] It's happening. It is fair. It's absolutely fair.
[Cheers & applause]
-Enzo. -You're an idiot!
Let's shave his hair off!
[Fans chanting]
[Tom] And of course, it's trending, guys. Hair versus hair.
You're head in there!
You are done!
[Tom] Oh my goodness, thank goodness for Marcus.
[Renee] Come on now, that's not fair.
They signed up for this, he can't get involved at this point.
[Byron] Hey, look, he couldn't get to the chair, that's not his problem.
[Fans chanting]
[Renee] If they're going to get out of here, they better do it quick.
[Tom] Hurry up, Marcus, grab him!
[Renee] There's no honor in running away from this though.
-You face that baldness. -[Tom] Oh, boy.
[Byron] Where'd Sylvester go? Thank goodness.
[Tom] Oh, Sylvester Lefort just waived the white flag
and left Marcus Louis out to dry.
[Byron] Could these two not control their temper?
[Renee] It's not fair.
[Byron] That's not fair they're beating up Marcus.
[Renee] Marcus Louis didn't lose that match, Sylvester Lefort lost it.
[Byron] Well, somebody stop them!
[Tom] I mean, somebody's got to lose their hair.
[Renee] I agree with that, yes, that's a valid point.
How you doing? How you doing?
[People cheer]
Certified G!
Enzo, get the bucket!
[Tom] Oh, no, no, no, no!
Take it off, Marcus!
Get out of there, run!
Wiggle your head around, move!
You're done!
[Tom] Oh my god!
[Renee] It's everywhere.
That's not even just on his head, that's all over his body!
[Byron] That's just not right!
[Tom] Marcus Louis' going to be Fifi in moments!
[Renee] I don't think you can get that stuff in your eyes!
[Music]
[Renee] Wow. There it is. -[Byron] How are you two celebrating?
The man's going to lose his hair!
[Renee] Hey, I came here to see hair versus hair match, and that's what I got.
Sure, it's not Sylvester Lefort, but beggars can't be choosers.
[Byron] This is ridiculous!
[Tom] Let's take a look back at this hair versus hair match.
Sylvester Lefort. And look at this, the closing moments.
Enzo Amore getting the best of Frenchie and that will do it for Sylvester.
[Renee] Here's your winner, Enzo Amore!
[Tom] Sylvester Lefort, wise at getting out of the way
and that should have been the end of it.
[Renee] I don't call that wise, I call it dishonorable.
[Tom] This is how you get prepped for a haircut.
Taking a little bit off the top.
[Byron] You know, NXT general manager, William Regal, has a great head of hair.
I'm sure he's going to understand how wrong this was,
how disgusting it was and he's going to take action.
I know it.
[Renee] Well, if that means more hair versus hair matches, I'm in.
Oh, poor Marcus Louis, this is so bad.
This is, like, the greatest moment of my life,
the fact that I was out here for this!
-[Tom] He was an innocent bystander. -[Renee] Innocent bystander?
He got invested.
[Tom] Let's shift the focus.
Earlier tonight we saw Tyson Kidd and Adrian Neville
getting ready for our main event.
How about the gorgeous one, Tyler Breeze?
[music]
[Tyler] Until you've walked a mile in my gorgeous shoes,
you don't know what it's like to be me.
At NXT takeover the NXT universe finally get what they want.
To have the most gorgeous champion they've ever had,Tyler breeze.
[Music]
Every time I step in the ring, I get the job done.
[Tom] Breeze with a beauty shot!
Breeze gets the win!
[woman] Just showboating.
[Tom] Breeze from the top rope!
[Tyler] Look at Sami Zayn, look at Adrian Neville,
look at Tyson Kidd. Do they look like this?
No, they don't.
They are not the most super good looking piece of gorgeousness
that you are ever going to see.
Tyler championship reign is going to usher in
the era of gorgeousness.
[music]
Every outfit that I wear matches gold.
[Tom] Well, there's prince pretty
undergoing his unique pre-match preparations.
The era of gorgeousness will be on his way.
-How about this one? -No.
-How about this one? -I'm a little busy here.
[Tom] Well ladies and gentlemen,

-It's a big night for NXT. -It's an early morning in Japan.
Konichiwa.
[narrator] In the Monday night war while heroes rose,
one would take the fall.
I watched it a thousand times and it literally changed the business.
[narrator] On the Monday night war,
any time on demand, Mick Foley took on the unimaginable.
I've never seen anything like it.
The unconventional.
This is your life.
And the unbelievable.
[announcer] We understand that Mick Foley is going to win their world title.
When the history channel does great military blunders,
that will be right up there as far as, like, the stupidest thing to do.
To make history, the Monday night war. Have a nice day.

Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome the general manager of NXT, William Regal!
[Music]
[Cheers & applause]
[Tom] Mr. William Regal, a legend in WWE.
Appointed general manager of NXT two weeks ago by our COO, HHH.
And Mr. Regal said on the pre-show, Renee,
how this is the proudest night of his career.
[Renee] Absolutely.
For him to be in control,
the general manager on this historic night on NXT.
It's a great opportunity for Mr. Regal.
[Fans chanting]
Ladies and gentlemen,

NXT has very quickly become the place to be.
Now, let's take a look at
probably the biggest international signing
in the history of the WWE.
[Cheers & applause]
[announcer] The future is happening right here and now.
As loud as you can be, a warm welcome for Kenta!
A lot of people would fantasize about Kenta
being in the WWE, but now it's a reality.
[Renee] I cannot wait to see the international sensation, Kenta.
Someone who's that talented, who's that accomplished in the ring,
is going to be amazing.
Anybody who is a big wrestling fan knows exactly who Kenta is.
[announcer] Kenta is the newest WWE superstar!
[Cheers & applause]
I am proud and honored to introduce to you
a household name
and one of the greatest stars in the history of Japanese wrestling
and the newest signing to NXT,
international sensation, Kenta!
[Music]
[Cheers & applause]
[Tom] I got goose bumps right now, guys.
[Renee] This is awesome.
[Tom] William Regal had it right,
probably the biggest international signing ever
in the history of the WWE.
This man's a multi-time heavyweight champion in Japan.
He's developed a core following all over the world
with his unique and innovative style.
[Renee] And if you don't know Kenta,
you're about to know a whole lot about him.
[Byron] Well, Triple H talked about Kenta earlier this week
on WWE.com.
Talking about not only is this a huge signing for WWE,
but they expect Kenta to make an immediate impact here on NXT.
Congratulations, and welcome to NXT.
[Fans chanting]
Thank you, Mr. Regal.
Hello, NXT!
[speaks in Japanese]
This is dream come true!
[Cheers & applause]
I'm happy to be here in WWE
and on NXT
because I'm starting over by announcing that
as a tribute to one of my hero,
I will be known as Hideo Itami.
[Cheers & applause]
My goal is to be NXT champion.
[Cheers & applause]
[Music]
[Renee] Come on, let him have his moment. What is this?
[Tom] The ascension, Conor Viktor earlier tonight losing the NXT tag team titles.
Have to be stewing.
[Tom] Oh!
[Tom] Viktor tossing Hideo Itami outside the ring!
[Viktor] Yeah, we're in a bad mood.
So here's what we're going to do.
You're going to give us a rematch and you're going to give it.
[cheers & applause]
[Fans chanting]
[Tom] Oh!
Hideo took out Viktor!
Oh! And blasting Conor outside the ring!
Look at the newest NXT superstar go!
[Renne] Making an impact from the get go.
[Tom] I can't believe this is happening right now!
Oh!
This is not what…
-[Tom] Oh, boy. -[Renee] Okay.
…William regal was expecting.
[Cheers & applause]
[Renee] This is his house now.
[Tom] Wow, talk about drawing a line in the sand.
[Music]
[Fans chanting]
[Renee] Hideo Itami making a point right off the get go.
[Fans chanting]
[Byron] Who would have imagined this scene?
Hideo itami making his first appearance
here on NXT and then essentially
taking out Ascension, who are now the former tag team champions.
Are you kidding me right now?
Did think we'd say all those things in the same sentence in the same night?
Exactly like I said, if you don't know about Kenta,
you now know about Hideo Itami.
It's already been an incredible night here on NXT takeover fatal 4-way,
but don't forget, after our main event join us for fallout.
Yes, I'm going to be here covering,
the three of us will be covering covering all of the fallout from NXT.
Well right now, coming up next, a match-up between Bull Dempsey and Mojo Rawley.
We want to take you back to roughly a month ago.
These two involved in the number one contender's tag team title tournament.
They teamed up out of necessity.
Things didn't work out the way they had planned.
Bull Dempsey leveled Mojo Rawley after a loss to the Vaudevillians.
And look at this, Byron, the aggression of Bull Dempsey.
[Byron] Yeah, Bull subscribes to the policy of
if things don't work out with your partner, beat him up.
[Tom] This is the vicious side of the throwback hitting a monster bulldozer
on the hype man, Mojo Rawley.
There were a lot of questions whether or not this relationship
would work out from the get go, Byron.
Well, we got our answer. Mojo got hurt by Bull Dempsey.
Bull Dempsey's motto: destroy everything.
[music]
[fans chanting]
[bell rings]
[announcer] The following contest is scheduled for one fall!
Introducing first from Brooklyn, New York, weighing 304 pounds,
Bull Dempsey!
[Renee] Bull Dempsey doesn't look like a guy
that's ready to let a grudge go any time soon.
[Tom] Bull Dempsey, a nearly 300 pound monster.
And you can see, Bull Dempsey is furious, ready to go.
He's been waiting weeks for this match-up against Mojo Rawley.
[Renee] You let a man like that have a couple weeks
to stew on some anger, good luck on the other end.
[music]
[announcer] And his opponent, from Alexandria, Virginia,
weighing 217 pounds, Mojo Rawley!
[Tom] The most hyped superstar on NXT
Mojo Rawley, normally all smiles, but look at this!
That's his game-day face! Here we go!
Look at this!
Bull Dempsey going right after Mojo and there's the bell.
[Renee] Well, Mojo went after Bull it looked like to me.
[Byron] Mojo said he loves this! He loves the process of setbacks.
He loves getting knocked out so he can get back up and fight,
but he's got a huge fight on his hands. Bull Dempsey.
[Renee] Look at Bull Dempsey right now. He's a brute force.
And I would not want to be in Mojo Rawley's position right now.
[Tom] He's looking to lay a beating on Mojo tonight at takeover, fatal 4-way.
[Renee] Bull Dempsey knows what this opportunity is for…
[Tom] Oh! There's the football background of Mojo Rawley,
former NFL defensive lineman.
Mojo showing you right now the brutality that Bull brings to the table
Mojo's ready to match it.
[Renee] Bull knows how many eyes are on NXT takeover right now
and this is his opportunity right now to make an impact.
[Tom] Oh, and again to the midsection.
Mojo Rawley trying to take it to Bull Dempsey here.
Oh!
-Golly! -[Renee] Destroy everything he shall.
[Tom] Full speed mack truck and… wait a minute, hold on. Oh my god.
Oh, no.
Bull Dempsey's, 300 pounds, top rope head butt!
-What? -[Renee] What?
[Tom] Bull Dempsey into the cover!
Dempsey has destroyed Mojo tonight at takeover!
-[Byron] Well. -[Renee] Wow.
[announcer] Here's your winner, Bull Dempsey!
[Tom] Guys, all you got to do is look at Mojo Rawley and…
-I don't of know Bull's done here. -[Renee] What?
Wow.
[Tom] Bull Dempsey, again, going to the top rope!
A head butt again!
[fans chanting]
Bull Dempsey was on a rampage the moment he walked out here.
I tell you what, that's a 6'6", almost 300 pound man in Mojo
who's been laid out by Bull Dempsey.
-Oh! This is the strength of Bull Dempsey. -[Renee] Look at that, Mojo's face now.
[Tom] Did you ever think we would see this?
Bull Dempsey flying, a huge head butt to the midsection of Mojo.
[Renee] The impact that must have been on Mojo.
[bell rings]
Yeah, Mojo had no idea what hit him and Bull wasn't even done.
And another head butt to Mojo Rawley.
that put the exclamation point on things for Dempsey.
Beaten, bruised and bloody.
That's the example of what Bull Dempsey is capable of.
That is a dangerous, dangerous human being.
-Yeah, but I won the match. -I know, you won the match.
Be happy you won the match.
But it was hair versus hair, that was the stipulation.
We didn't get the victorious secret weapon for nothing.
I want to see somebody bald.
Zo, I'm telling you, we'll see him bald.
That stuff works, we saw it with Carmella, okay?
-Yeah, we used it on a poodle. -All we got to do is find him
and we're going to him bald. We just got to find him.
Seeing is believing.
It's like that sasquatch thing you told me about.
I won't believe it until I see it and I want to see somebody bald.
They could have gotten anywhere by now.
They could be anywhere.
Lefort!
[Shouting]
Pick him up! Pick him up!
Let's show the world his bald head!
-I want to see somebody bald! -Let's go!
[Renee] Yes, I want to see it!
How you doing?
[Tom] Oh my gosh.
No.
Sylvester Lefort has fled the scene and Marcus Louis has… Oh, my gosh.
[Byron] Haven't they done enough to this poor man?
[Renee] No, because they haven't shaved his head. That's the whole point.
[Byron] He wasn't in the match!
[Tom] We don't know how much that potion could have took.
Marcus Louis… Oh, man.
How you doing? How you doing?
That's what I'm talking about!
[All] Oh!
Oh! Oh!
[Renee] He doesn't even have eyebrows anymore!
[Tom] It's not that bad.
[Renee] He's like a chia pet, are you crazy?
-[Tom] Looks like Quasimodo. -[Renee] Oh my god, that looks so bad.
[Tom] Marcus, my gosh, this man's life is ruined!
[Renee] I mean, he's already a little weird looking, but now…
[Byron] Get him a towel.
You got a towel around here somewhere?
-[Renee] That's embarrassing. -[Tom] Marcus, hide!
Hide, Marcus!
[Renee] That's like your mom cutting your bangs embarrassing.
[Tom laughs]
[Renee laughs]
[Byron] Oh, you're enjoying this?
[Renee] How aren't you? It's not your head.
Marcus Louis, I got a new word to describe you
and I'm going to spell it out for you:
b-a-w-l-d, bawld!
[music]
[Tom] Great, spell it, Byron. -I'm not going to spell it!
-What an insult. -[Renee] Oh, it's so good.
[Byron] You guys are enjoying a man's, poor man's, innocent man's misfortunes.
[Tom] Yeah.
[Byron] I'd like to come over here and put some of that cream on your head.
[Renee] I'm just here to have a good time.
[Byron] How about you, Renee? How would you like that?
[Renee] Oh, I had nothing to do with it.
[Tom] Let's take a look back at one of the greatest moments in NXT.
[Byron] I don't want to see it again.
[Tom] Like a cue ball with lint on it.
[Byron] How can that man go out in public looking like that?
[Tom] Did they shave his eyebrows too?
[Renee] It came off with the cream!
If that's going to take the mane off of a horse, his eyebrows…
[Byron] He has to walk around with that on his head.
You going to tell me that's okay?
[Renee] He's peacocking that cool hair.
That's so good. I love it.
[Byron] I'm disgusted. I'm disgusted.
Top then things not to do to your hair.
This is going to wind up on buzzfeed, Renee.
No question it's going to wind up on buzzfeed,
just like buzzfeed actually had a great article
about just how impressive and how exciting the future of WWE is here at NXT.
Looking at the top three signings we just had with Kenta,
Kevin Steen, we've got Prince Devitt here, Charlotte, Tyler Breeze.
So many amazing superstars here at NXT and the future is now.
And you're going to see a lot more of them here to come here.
The first of our two main events it's for the NXT women's championship.
Charlotte will defend against Bayley, the number one contender.
These are two divas fighting tonight for very different reasons,
but with one goal in mind, guys.
The goal is the NXT women's championship.
[interviewer] Who are you most looking forward to facing you for your title now?
[fans] Bayley!
-[interviewer] Oh, a loud… -Well, I guess Bayley.
[Laughing]
[announcer] From San Jose, California, it's Bayley!
My name is Bayley.
I've been doing this with NXT for about a year and a half
and it's been the coolest thing I've ever experienced.
[man] Bayley. Bayley always makes me feel happy.
These bad boys are going to be doing all the talking.
Sorry.
I'm just so happy to be here. I can't hold it in.
All these people on TV and then I get to work with them, it's awesome.
I'm the next women's champion and you're going to find that out tonight.
[Tom] Bayley has really been on a roll as of late here
and now finds herself in this number one contenders match.
[Bayley] As happy as I am to be here…
[Tom] Bayley's in trouble here all the way on her back!
Wait, shoulders down on Sasha! Bayley's the number one contender!
I belong here.
[Sasha] You beating me was a fluke.
If you honestly think that you're better than me,
then I dare you to put your number one contendership on the line
and try to do it again.
[Bayley] No matter what those girls say, no matter how good they are,
no matter how beautiful they are, they don't want it as much as I do.
[Tom] Going to turn things around! There it is!
Hook of the leg here and Bayley going for the victory!
And a huge win!
There do you go, Bayley!
I've had the same love for it since day one
as I do now and I want to be the best for a long time.
[fans] Oh! Bayley!
Poor Bayley!
Oh, you want a tissue?
Bayley, life's tough, welcome to reality.
I have a legacy to up hold.
You don't see tears on my eyes.
Charlotte, you are obviously not taking me as a threat!
The next time you're crying is when you're walking away from takeover.
I am telling you now to give up.
[Charlotte] I beat Natalya for this.
No one will beat me.
Whether they like it or not, they better learn to love it.
Bayley, stick to hugs before I destroy you.
[Bayley] Charlotte's been a great champ
and that's why it'd mean so much more to me when I do beat her.
I'm not going anywhere, Charlotte, and I don't even want a hug!
I've hung in NXT and I've trained and I've prepared.
I've pictured myself holding the NXT women's championship in my hands
hands and I kind of picture
when Shawn Michaels won the world heavy weight championship.
And I'm going to turn this dream into reality
and beat Charlotte to become the new NXT women's champion!
[fans cheering]
[music]
[Renee] Here we go, party time! My girl, Bayley!
[Cheers & applause]
What?
[Tom] The number one contender to the NXT women's championship.
Bayley!
[Renee] How amazing does she look right now?
[Byron] What is she wearing?
[Renee] She's got her streamers on.
Can't have a party without streamers.
[Tom] And it's not a party without the wacky, waving, inflatable,
arm flailing tube men!
[Renee] She easily has the best entrance in NXT.
No question.
[Byron] I've seen it all now.
[Renee laughs]
[Tom] What a moment for Bayley here at NXT takeover fatal 4-way.
This could be a historic night in Bayley's career.
[Renee] You get a Bayley headband!
That's like Bret hart giving someone his sunglasses.
-[Buron] What? -[Renee] Same thing.
[Tom] Bayley's always wanted to share her joy with the NXT universe.
She is living her dream and tonight
she has the chance to accomplish her dream.
That dream's going to hit a harsh reality in just a few moments.
[music]
The NXT women's champion, Charlotte,
the daughter of the two-time hall of famer, Ric Flair,
winning a title from Natalya at NXT takeover back in May.
Charlotte had a personal chef when she was 7 years old,
a personal trainer when she was ten,
a live-in tutor during her high school years.
The NXT women's champion has been groomed to be great.
[Renee] You know who cooked their own food? Bayley.
You know who taught herself how to learn life lessons? Bayley.
[Byron] And look who the champion is: Charlotte.
[Renee] Yeah, maybe not for long.
[Tom] Ladies and gentlemen, for the first time ever you can collect
twenty NXT superstar and diva trading cards in tops WWE 2014 chrome.
Look for them in the trading card aisle at a retailer near you.
-[Byron] I like Bayley. -[Renee] You should like Bayley.
[Tom] This is a different platform.
[announcer] The following contest is scheduled for one fall
and is for the NXT women's championship!
Introducing first the challenger, from San Jose, California, Bayley!
[cheers & applause]
[fans chanting]
And her opponent, the NXT women's champion, Charlotte!
[cheers & boos]
[fans chanting]
[Tom] There may not be a bigger underdog in the history of the women's championship
or the entire women's division than Bayley.
[Renee] You know what?
I think that calling her an underdog is a big overstatement.
She has earned her spot, we've heard that from her many times.
Sure, of course she's going to be a little bit nervous right now,
but wouldn't you be if this was the moment of you fulfilling your dreams?
[Byron] She's almost hyperventilating.
[Renee] She's nervous.
[fans chanting]
This is what you wanted!
[shouting]
[Tom] Oh, Bayley!
[Renee] No hugs today!
[Tom] Bayley's tried to extend sportsmanship to Charlotte in the past.
These two used to be best friends.
Charlotte has turned on Bayley in the past
and now Bayley with a huge opportunity.
Oh! [Tom laughs]
If Bayley wants a chance to win this match
she's got to forget the fairy tale and bring the aggression.
[Renee] Forget the fairy tale, you should give that advice to anybody.
Always look forward to what you want to do
and that's exactly what she's here to do today.
Who are you to say she's not going to be able to fulfill that?
[Byron] You know what? Charlotte does.
[Tom] Crossbody from Bayley, the cover on the champ and a kick-out.
[Byron] Charlotte wins, it's in her pedigree, how she was raised.
She knows nothing else.
[Tom] Look at the number one trend worldwide, Hideo Itami.
NXT going all night. Here's the cover for the championship and a kick-out.
[Renee] That's all anyone's talking about on social media, it's awesome.
[Tom] Charlotte looks stunned here in the early going and…
-[Byron] Does she really? -[Tom] Here we go.
[Tom] This is why she's the NXT women's champion, guys. Oh.
[Renee] There's no denying that Charlotte's an amazing athlete
and she's a great champion…
[Tom] Oh, Bayley.
[Renee] Bayley puts every ounce…
-[Tom] Oh! -[Renee] …of her heart into everything.
[Tom] Charlotte's just too powerful.
It's in her genes, genetically superior.
[Byron] Charlotte told me she talked to her father, the nature boy, Ric Flair.
He said: "We deliver on the big stage, it's what we do,
it's what our family is known for."
[Tom] Cover from the champion on Bayley, Bayley's still in this match.
[Renee] She certainly delivered on the big stage when she had her match
with Natalya at last NXT takeover,
but she doesn't have her dad here with her today.
[Byron] It's real easy to come out and have an early flurry,
to have early momentum your way, but when things settle down,
the adrenaline wears off, this is the result, the experience.
[Tom] -The champion's edge. [Renee] -She's the NXT darling.
-Listen to them. -[Byron] Doesn't matter.
[Tom] Oh, look the figure four headlock from Charlotte.
[Byron] And there's an old saying, according by Bobby Heenan,
what's fair to flair.
Well, what's shameful to Charlotte is second place.
[Tom] Charlotte said in the past to Bayley:
"Give up before I destroy you. Stick to hugs."
Renee, what do you think about that?
[Renee] I think we all know that Bayley doesn't have
any bit of giving up in her blood.
She's worked for…
[Tom] Hold on, shoulders down on Charlotte and kick-out.
[Renee] She's worked so hard to get to this point,
you think she's going to throw it away when the opportunity's there?
Of course not.
She's been busy working on different aspects of her game for this.
[Byron] Okay, she's been busy working, she's been prepping, I get it.
[Tom] Shoulders down on Charlotte and the champ kicked out again.
[Byron] But Charlotte wakes up every day of her life not wanting,
but knowing she has to be better than the day before.
It's part of her legacy.
[Renee] It's one thing to be born into a legacy, it's another one to earn it.
[fans booing]
[referee] One, two, three!
[Tom] Charlotte's got to break the hold before the count of five here.
And Bayley trying to withstand the early onslaught here
from the NXT women's champion.
[Renee] We could see a new champion today.
[Tom] We've already seen the new NXT tag team champions.
-[Renee] We're on a roll. -[Byron] Yeah, we could, we could.
Mickey Mouse could show up in a second too.
[Renee] Yeah, we're in Orlando, you're right, he could.
[fans chanting]
Oh, and Bayley coming out of the corner.
Look at that.
[Byron] Insult to injury, a little slap to the face of Bayley.
[Tom] Just like that, Charlotte turns it around.
-[Renee] You can't laugh at that. -[Byron] I thought it was kind of funny.
[Tom] Guys, this has been very personal between these two.
It was roughly a year ago that Bayley and Charlotte
were actually best friends coming here to NXT together.
Charlotte decided to go her own separate way and really turned on Bayley.
[Renee] I mean, look at how cool that would have been for Bayley,
being a lifelong WWE fan.
You can be best friends with Ric Flair's daughter.
[Tom] Byron, you talk about the legacy of Charlotte.
She knows the entire WWE universe…
Oh man! …is watching this match.
[Byron] That's why it goes back to the point.
Charlotte realizes she has no other option
but to succeed on the big stage when the entire world is watching.
[Tom] Oh gosh, the athletic ability of Charlotte using the figure four headlock.
[Renee] Wow.
[Byron] That's just preparedness, that's preparedness.
That's a champion knowing you've got to raise your game night in and night out.
Right now Charlotte… Bayley's just overmatched.
[fans] Bayley!
[Renee] The NXT universe is chanting, like Tinkerbell with applause.
[Tom] Now Bayley, we saw it in the match
where she became the number one contender,
defeating former BFF and best friend of Charlotte, Sasha Banks.
She can break out of submission maneuvers very easily.
[Renee] Absolutely.
[Byron] At some point emotion gets you so far.
You have a dream since you were eleven years old if you're Bayley.
All you wanted to do was make it to the WWE, succeed on NXT,
-but then reality sets in. -[Tom] Hold on.
Shoulders down on number one contender, Bayley's still in it!
Whoa, she's got shoulders down on Charlotte and another kick-out.
[Byron] And sometimes dreams dissipate.
[Tom] Whoa, Bayley into the cover.
-[Renee] This could be it! -[Tom] This could be it!
Shades of the hall-of-fame father looking for the figure four leg lock!
Bayley inside, cradles Charlotte, still in it!
Another dropkick!
[Renee] Can feel the pressure mounting in this match.
[Tom] Charlotte's been in some predicaments
throughout this match-up, Byron.
This has not been as easy as Charlotte said it would be.
[Byron] Look, who did Charlotte beat to win the NXT women's championship?
[Tom] Natalya.
[Byron] So Charlotte's been through this, through the battle, had the ups and downs,
she knows you have to weather the storm on the way to victory.
[Renee] There's a certain unpredictability about Bayley
and even from get go she was showing no sportsmanship,
she's not showing her hugs and just out here to have a good time.
This is her fulfilling her dreams today.
[Byron] I see Charlotte showing dominance.
[Renee] What a great champ she would be.
So many of the little girls watching NXT right now are rooting for her.
[Tom] Charlotte out at two.
Oh!
[Byron] I think Charlotte's making a great champ.
[Renee] Of course she is. I'm not saying she's not.
[Tom] Another cover, shoulders on Bayley, and a kick-out.
Bayley's staying in this championship match.
[fans chanting] Bayley!
[Tom] Now, you might sense a little bit of frustration from Charlotte,
but again, notice how she's keeping the pace steady.
Not tailoring back her attack in any way.
[Renee] She hasn't been able to put Bayley away yet and let's…
[all] Oh!
[Tom] Look at that, Charlotte's kind of laughing.
Bayley's not going to quit! Bayley's not going to quit against Charlotte!
Oh!
Charlotte… Oh!
And the head and neck of Bayley bouncing off the canvas.
Charlotte's taking her time here, now rolls into the cover.
Hook to both legs on Bayley in the corner and a kick-out.
Some precious seconds slipped away.
[Byron] It's like Charlotte has a switch,
and every time Bayley tries to build some momentum,
every time Bayley tries to bring the fight to her,
Charlotte turns that switch of aggression up a little bit higher.
-[Tom] Wait a minute. -[Byron] Speaking of higher.
[Tom] We saw this back in May.
Charlotte went for the moonsault against Natalya back in May
and Bayley, well scouted.
[Renee] Bayley knows every move that Charlotte's going to do.
She watches the product every single day.
[Byron] Give Bayley credit, she's not quitting.
[Renee] Of course not!
Let's not forget she's already pinned Charlotte once before in a match.
You think it's that funny now?
[Tom] Oh, watch out!
[Byron] What the what?
[Renee] This could to be it!
Bayley could walk away the new women's champion!
This could be her moment!
[Byron] She better roll over and cover if she's going to get there!
[Renee] All she has to do is roll over!
[Byron] Bayley has said the other divas don't want it as bad as I do,
I belong here, I'm going to turn my dream into a reality.
She might do it right here against Charlotte.
[Renee] Come on Bayley, you can prove it!
[fans chanting]
This is it!
[Tom] Bayley crawling into the cover and a kick-out.
[Byron] No, no, no!
[Tom] Take another look at this.
Bayley pulling out all the stops here against Charlotte.
We call that a Bayley-roddle? [laughs]
But somehow the NXT women's champion is staying in this match.
[Bayley screams]
Whoa, Bayley to belly!
Oh, and now Bayley's in trouble. Kick-out!
Well scouted by Charlotte.
Oh!
Wow. [Renee laughs]
-[Tom] Wow. -[Renee] Come on.
[Byron] Did you see the way Bayley's head
just smacked against that bottom turnbuckle?
[Renee] The whiplash of that.
[Tom] Bayley already took a nasty shot to the back of the head
earlier in this match.
[Renee] How do you come back from that?
[Tom] Bayley's barely moving.
[Renee] This is an ugly scene.
[Tom] Oh man, guys, Charlotte looking for the moonsault again!
Going to the top rope… Oh! She connected!
-[Byron] It's over! It's over! -[Tom] Bayley kicked out!
[Renee] Bayley's alive! Bayley stayed alive!
[Tom] Byron, I don't know if Charlotte got all the moonsault.
[Byron] I don't know how Bayley kicked out of that!
[Tom] Oh, watch out! Natural selection.
Natural selection from Charlotte,
the cover and that's going to do it.
[bell rings] The women's champ retains.
[announcer] Here's your winner and still NXT women's champion,
Charlotte!
[Byron] You know, I tell you what.
Charlotte's still the NXT women's champion,
but I'll give credit where it's due.
That is the most impressive performance I have ever seen from Bayley.
[Renee] I think that there's no way the NXT universe couldn't give
so much credit to both of these NXT divas today.
An awesome, awesome match for both of them,
but Charlotte still is our NXT women's champion.
[cheers & applause]
[Tom] An incredible NXT women's championship match,
the first of two main events we have here tonight
at NXT takeover fatal 4-way.
This was an incredible match-up, guys.
Both these divas pulling out all the stops.
Watch this, this we thought was Bayley's moment.
[Renee] I thought that was it.
[Tom] Off the top rope and then watch this Charlotte.
This probably turned the tables
as the head of Bayley bouncing off the bottom turnbuckle.
[Renee] That was ugly.
[Tom] That was only the precursor to the end
as Charlotte would hit natural selection.
Bayley staring down Charlotte and Charlotte putting things away.
The resolve of Bayley throughout this match is undeniable, guys.
[Renee] Both of these women left it all in the ring.
[cheers & applause]
[Renee] Sasha Banks is out here.
[Tom] Former BFF of Charlotte.
[fans chanting]
[Tom] Oh, Sasha Banks attacking Bayley after the fact.
[Renee] Bayley's been through enough.
-[Tom] Charlotte! -[Renee] Oh.
[Tom] Whoa.
[Renee] Wow.
[fans applauding]
[Renee] Charlotte knew that was the right thing to do.
I think Bayley earned her respect here today.
[Byron] I definitely didn't see that one coming.
[Renee] Not at all.
[music]
[Tom] Certainly some drama unfolding here after the fact,
but hats off to Bayley and Charlotte,
an incredible match here at Full Sail University.
[Renee] And Bayley still receiving chants from the NXT universe.
[fans chanting]
[Tom] Well, ladies and gentlemen, it's been an incredible night
here in Orlando at NXT takeover fatal 4-way
and how about our ring announcer, Jojo?
Jojo's been absolutely phenomenal tonight,
but before we went live with NXT takeover she actually did a rendition
of America The Beautiful so you guys can catch that on wwe.com.
-Great. -She's amazing.
-It was wonderful, I was blown away. -She's so good.
Well, we are on the doorstep of our main event.
We've heard from the champion, from Tyson Kidd and Tyler Breeze.
Up next we're going to hear from the man
that many here inside the NXT arena believe is the favorite.
Sami Zayn.
[music]
[Renee] Sami Zayn wants this, he wants to be the face of NXT.
[fans] One, two, three!
[Tom] He's an endless dreamer and aspirer,
always wanting to be greater than what he can be.
Sami Zayn at times cannot win the big one.
A lot of eyes on Sami Zayn right now. Zayn better get it out of his head quick.
I've had an entire career based on people taking me lightly
and that's been a big part of my success.
He's somebody who, when he faces adversity he thrives on that.
He thrives and he gets better.
Sami Zayn is of the most resilient guys I've ever been in the ring with.
[Zayn] I don't dwell on these things.
If I don't win, I dust myself off, I pick myself up and I go again.
and I win.
My end result is the NXT championship.
[announcer] That's a different look in his eye tonight that we see in Sami Zayn.
[Zayn] To prepare for a fatal 4-way you have to be very aware of your opponents.
Adrian Neville has been very well documented
that we are such good friends, but he's the guy I'd like to beat.
I don't want there to be any excuses, I don't want there to be any doubt,
I want to beat the best man in the ring
and the best man in the ring just so happens to be Adrian Neville.
I'm going to get it. I'm going to win the NXT championship.
It's just a matter of when.
[Tom] Well, there he is, Sami Zayn believes his time is now.
He's going to find out.
In just a few moments Sami Zayn will compete in the fatal 4-way match
against Tyler Breeze, Tyson Kidd and Adrian Neville
for the NXT championship.
[Lesnar] I'm going to rip John Cena limb from limb and it's going to be ugly.
[announcer] Brock Lesnar imposed his will.
Eat, sleep, conquer John Cena.
[Tom] Lesnar has won the WWE world title!
[Cena] I will not lay down. I will fight.
He's going to have to beat every last breath out of this body!
I am going to beat Brock Lesnar!
[ad] WWE night of champions pay-per-view event is presented by Diet Dew,
Sunday September 21, live on WWE network.
[Tom] Well ladies and gentlemen, we have breaking news.
After the events of earlier tonight, NXT general manager,
William Regal, has officially announced that next week,
Thursday on WWE network, Hideo Itami will make his in-ring debut
right here on NXT.
And guys, Hideo Itami, number one trend worldwide.
-[Byron] That's huge! -[Renee] He's here!
[Tom] Next week on NXT.
[fans cheering]
[music]
[Renee] Prince pretty.
[Tom] It is time for our main event, the first fatal 4-way
in the history of NXT.
And Tyler Breeze with a bone to pick
with all three of the superstars in this match.
Along with them, Tyler Breeze several weeks ago in a match-up
for the NXT championship against Adrian Neville
was interrupted by Tyson Kidd.
Tyler Breeze sees himself as the uncrowned champion,
but tonight he's got a chance to prove what he truly should be,
an NXT champion.
[Renee] You can't deny the impact that Tyler Breeze has had at NXT
over the last several weeks.
-[Tom] The NXT universe… -[Renee] Banding behind him.
[Tom] Some love him, some hate him,
but nonetheless, could become the NXT champion tonight.
Has a one-in-four chance, just as the champion, to win in this match, Byron.
[Byron] He told me he's got the editors of GQ, Vogue, all on standby
to get that cover shot with the NXT championship.
[Renee] Anna Wintour could have put him in the September issue.
That's a big spot.
[music]
[fans cheering]
[Tom] Now folks, don't forget the rules here of a fatal 4-way.
Adrian Neville does not have to be involved in the decision.
The only way to win is by pinfall or submission.
No count-outs, no disqualification.
And Sami Zayn said earlier tonight, if he has a chance,
if he has the option, he wants to pin the champion, Adrian Neville.
[Renee] It's a very curious decision for Adrian Neville to have made.
The odds are not in his favor today.
[Tom] Sami Zayn has had setbacks, he's had his trials,
but the road to respect has defined his existence here on NXT.
Sami Zayn has starred at NXT arrival, a previous NXT takeover.
Will tonight be the sensational Sami Zayn's night?
[Renee] Looked good on Monday Night Raw.
[music]
[Tom] Tyson Kidd extremely confident going into this match-up here.
Byron, we've heard throughout the weeks how Tyson Kidd believes
that he's the only one that's really worth seeing in this match-up.
Right now we want to take you back to Monday Night Raw.
Renee, you alluded to it, what a treat this was!
All four of these superstars were in action, tag team match-up live on.
This was a chance to showcase the chance to build momentum
until tonight for the whole world to see the skills on display.
[Renee] And showcase they did.
Like I talked about, they blew the Internet up,
especially with that article from Buzzfeed
featuring the eleven reasons why NXT is the future
and the future is here.
[Tom] All four of these superstars making a big name of the red arrow,
that trending worldwide, as well as did Adrian Neville's name
for the NXT champion, making a big Mark live on Raw.
[announcer] NXT champion, Adrian Neville!
[Tom] Tyson Kidd trying to block out the noise here, guys.
-He's focused for this match-up. -[Byron] He's got to be.
[Byron] Doesn't want to hear that Natty's husband business.
[Tom] This is a career changer for Tyson Kidd.
[music]
[Tom] Adrian Neville, one for firsts.
It was at NXT arrival back in February,
NXT's first and only ladder match,
he defeated the longest-reigning NXT champion of all time, Bo Dallas.
[Renee] Now with our very first ever fatal 4-way match.
[Byron] This was Neville's idea, he wanted this.
Neville wanted Sami Zayn, Neville wanted Tyson Kidd,
Neville wanted Tyler Breeze all in the same match
so he could prove that he's the best.
[Renee] If he walks away victorious today,
that is cemented here in his legacy with NXT.
[Tom] He's one of the most decorated champions in the history of NXT.
Tonight could solidify his NXT career.
[bell rings]
[announcer] The following contest is scheduled for one fall
and it is the fatal 4-way match for the NXT championship!
Introducing first, the challengers.
First, from his seasonal residence in Santorini, Greece,
weight 205 pounds, Tyler Breeze!
[cheers & boos]
And his opponent from Montreal, Quebec, Canada,
weighing 197 pounds, Sami Zayn!
[cheers & applause]
[fans chanting]
And their opponent, from Calgary, Alberta, Canada,
weighing 200 pounds, Tyson Kidd!
[cheers & boos]
And their opponent from New Castle, England,
he's the NXT champion, Adrian Neville!
[cheers & applause]
[fans chanting]
[Byron] I want to bring up something, Tom.
You mentioned earlier
after all four of them appeared on Monday Night Raw,
what was trending worldwide?
Adrian Neville and his finishing move, the red arrow.
What do you think that did to the mindsets of his opponents
knowing that people were only talking about the champion?
[Renee] It's one way to make an impact,
but you can't doubt the preparedness of all competitors in the ring tonight.
[Tom] We saw it on the pre-show,
Alex Riley interviewing all four of these superstars.
It clearly got under the skin of Breeze, Kidd and Zayn.
[fans chanting]
[Renee] Yeah, it certainly got under their skin
and tonight they're here to prove that any one of these men
could be the NXT champ.
[fans chanting]
[Tom] Well, ladies and gentlemen, we invite you to use the #fatal4way
to get involved here on social media.
And all four of these superstars
are trying to feel each other out right now.
[Byron] Real tricky situation.
You mentioned earlier, Tom, Adrian Neville doesn't have to be pinned
to lose his title in this match.
[Tom] No count outs, no disqualification.
The only way the championship can change hands
is by pinfall or submission.
And here we go. Breeze going after Sami Zayn
and Tyson Kidd after the champion in the corner.
[Byron] Got to be on guard every second of this match,
not only knowing what's in front of you,
but what potentially could be coming from behind.
[Renee] There's a personal history between each of them.
I mean, look at Adrian Neville and Tyson Kidd as well.
[Tom] Sami Zayn and Tyler Breeze rolling outside the ring.
[Byron] We saw Breeze got a victory over Zayn at the last takeover,
no strangers to each other.
[Renee] And of course the friendship between Zayn and Neville.
That's could become a factor tonight.
[Tom] Tyson Kidd wanted redemption at the last NXT takeover
as he challenged Neville for the NXT title.
[Renee] Of course, we have to wonder what Tyson Kidd's mindset's like right now.
He seems to get in his own head a lot.
[Byron] This is just chaos, guys.
[Tom] One of these men is leaving here as NXT champion.
Uh-oh.
Oh! And Tyler Breeze taking down Zayn, and Kidd taking down Neville!
And the NXT universe, they wanted to see Zayn and Neville go at it.
[Byron] That's what I'm talking about, you can't waste any moment in this match.
[Renee] There's no room!
[Byron] You got two other guys on the horizon waiting to get to you.
[Renee] There's no corners to hide in.
[Tom] This is what the COO Triple H talked about earlier this week,
the fatal 4-way so unpredictable, so much chaos.
[Renee] These are four of the best superstars in NXT.
Any one of them could walk away as champion.
[Byron] Remember, right now this is really up to competitors involved.
The referee can't count any four of these superstars out
because to win there's no disqualifications, no count out.
The only way to win is by pinfall or submission
and it has to take place inside the ring.
[Tom] Storied history behind the NXT title.
Currently Mr. Seth Rollins, first ever NXT champion, followed by Big E.
Did he it him with the phone?
And Bo Dallas, and maybe it's Sami Zayn's night.
[Renee] That's one way to take a selfie, tweet that out.
[Byron] No, that's not cool. Just throw his phone out?
[Tom] The phone's in the ring.
[cheers & applause]
[Byron] Sami better be more concerned about getting Tyler in the ring
than messing with his cell phone.
[Renee] Sami already had some of the most memorable matches
in the history of NXT.
He's so mentally and physically prepared for what's at hand today.
[Tom] How about the classic at NXT arrival in February against Cesaro?
Meanwhile, on the other side of the ring, Tyson Kidd is taking it to the champion.
And remember this too.
Tyson Kidd's the only man her who has a pinfall victory over Neville
two weeks ago on tag team match.
[Renee] He's come so close so many times and so recently
that the wound is still very fresh with Tyson Kidd.
[Tom] Wait a minute, look at this.
Tyson Kidd going after Zayn!
[Byron] Very smart by Tyson because you have to get your opponent
into the ring if you want to win this match-up.
[Tom] Wait a minute, a koji clutch!
Tyson Kidd could tap out right here!
Zayn could be the NXT champion and Breeze broke it up.
[Byron] You have a very short window of time
to make your opponent submit or get a pinfall victory.
[Tom] Look at this, Neville dragging Breeze out of the ring,
trying to remove bodies away.
[Byron] That's the key. That's a smart strategy from all of them.
You try to eliminate two of the competitors
so you can grab one and isolate him inside the ring.
[Tom] Guys, that could be catastrophic for Adrian Neville.
What we just saw, the high flier, the injured knee perhaps.
[Renee] Byron, is it smart to take them outside of the ring to wear them out?
[Byron] You eliminate two guys, bring one and isolate him.
[Tom] Not up there, not on the steel!
Oh, double suplex!
[Byron] You do what you got to do.
[Renee] You've got to…
Is everyone's mindset to go after the champ first.
[Byron] If you have to form a temporary alliance
to get yourself ahead in this match-up, you do it.
[Tom] Take another… Oh! Take another look at this again.
Listen to the impact of Adrian Neville.
[fans cheering]
Breeze and Kidd reuniting their alliance from Monday night on Raw.
[Byron] Think about it, if Neville's eliminated from this match-up
that just helps Tyler Breeze, Sami Zayn.
[Tom] Wait a minute, going for it again! Going for it again against Zayn!
Oh, the steel ramp!
[Byron] Smart!
I mean, I dig this strategy by Tyson Kidd and Tyler Breeze.
Now you've potentially taken out Zayn and Neville.
[Renee] What happens when it's just the two of them left?
[Tom] Oh. Take a look at this, trending right now
Natty's husband,Tyson Kidd on Twitter.
[Renee] Hey, it's his own name.
[Tom] It's Tyson Kidd, not Natty's husband, thank you.
Tyson Kidd trying to wear down Sami Zayn.
Tyler Breeze making his way back up into the apron.
[Renee] There's alliances forming. It's not looking good for Sami Zayn.
[Tom] Tyson Kidd shot to the midsection.
[Byron] Divide and conquer.
[Tom] Renee, based on the interview we saw on the pre-show,
it really didn't look like we'd see Breeze and Kidd work together.
[Renee] No, I did not think it was going that way at all.
They were right at each other's throats the entire time
in that interview with Alex
but for whatever reason, they seem to be on the same page right now.
[Byron] It helps you get ahead,
that's why they're forming a temporary alliance.
[Tom] There's the champ!
That's why they're using Zayn as a battering ram.
Breeze and Kidd just hammering away on Sami Zayn here.
[Renee] There's no doubt.
I mean, we've seen Tyson Kidd and Tyler Breeze play dirty before
and they're doing it now.
[Byron] This allows Breeze and Kidd to take their time,
digest their offensive maneuver
so both of them can have their way with Sami Zayn.
[fans chanting]
[Tom] Remember guys, the NXT champion, Adrian Neville,
does not have to be involved in the decision to lose the championship.
[Byron] He's still on the outside of the ring!
[Tom] There he is.
Breeze's just trying to keep Neville outside the ropes
and is successful at that.
Oh, Breeze trying to direct traffic there and Sami Zayn refusing to go down!
[Renee] Sami Zayn knows how to weather the storm.
[Byron] Story of Zayn, never quits, always fights,
but you got an aggressive Tyson Kidd, an aggressive Tyler Breeze,
two hungry superstars who both want to be champions.
[Renee] One of the biggest workhorses in WWE in Tyson Kidd.
[Tom] Look at this, Breeze for the cover. Oh, there you go.
Now Breeze going to go it alone here.
[All] Oh!
[Tom] Alliances can't last forever in a fatal 4-way
and now Tyson Kidd alone with Sami Zayn.
[Byron] And once again, Tyson's so smart getting isolated!
[Tom] Backbreaker into the cover! Sami Zayn kicked out!
[Byron] Tyson Kidd used Tyler Breeze for what he needed and now potentially…
[Renee] He's picking these guys apart. You can't deny Kidd's a smart guy.
[Tom] And again, Adrian Neville kicked outside of the ring.
Tyson Kidd all alone with Zayn. Again, into the cover and a kick-out.
[Byron] Right now mentally that clock is ticking for Tyson Kidd.
He knows there's only so much time that Neville and Breeze
are going to be outside that ring.
He's got to do something quick if he wants to leave the NXT arena as champion.
[fans cheering]
[Tom] Sami Zayn trying to get back to a vertical base here
and breaks things up here against Kidd.
Sami Zayn nearly put away this match earlier on with the koji clutch.
Oh!
Meanwhile, guys, Tyson Kidd has expressed a lot of confidence in the sharpshooter.
Believes he can put away any superstar with the Hart family submission maneuver.
And there goes Neville again.
[Byron] Tyson has had an eye on Neville
ever since Neville was taken out of this match-up,
every time the champ tries to get back in.
[Tom] Connecting to the ear of Zayn.
Zayn trying to roll out of the ring, the cover and a kick-out.
Zayn wisely got himself close to the ropes there,
but still, Tyson Kidd, almost with a near fall.
[Byron] You talk to Tyson Kidd, he'll tell you "I need this match".
"I need this match to show the world I'm every bit as good as I believe I am".
[Renee] He's had those opportunities and he didn't come up strong at all.
[Tom] Tyson Kidd.
This has been the nasty side of Tyson we've seen for months now on NXT.
[Renee] Just such a different side of him.
People start chanting "Natty's husband" and picking him apart.
He's not handling it well.
[Byron] Look at this, caught on the ropes! Kidd with a leg drop!
The head of Zayn just bounced off the mat!
Tyson Kidd could be the new champion here! No, shoulders up.
[Byron] Well, Tyson said before: "Yeah, Natty's got a lot of recognition
total divas, a lot of success."
And he says: "I'm going to win the NXT championship
and I'm going to take it to total divas
and I'm going to make my championship mainstream just like my wife.
[Renee] That's a good MO.
[Tom] Sami Zayn, vulnerable position. Neville again taken outside the ring.
[Byron] Oh, wow! You can't tell me you're not impressed with Tyson right now!
[Renee] This is Tyson Kidd's office.
[Tom] Tyson Kidd is on a roll!
[Byron] Everything is rolling.
[Tom] Tyson into the cover. Could we have a new NXT champion?
-Count at two. -[Renee] So close.
[Byron] Kidd is implementing his game plan to a tee.
-[Renee] He's setting the tone. [Tom] Watch this, listen.
Wow!
Almost kicked the head off of Adrian Neville.
[Renee] He's setting the tone, he's setting the pace
and he's setting up the opportunity to become the champ today.
[Byron] The opportunity is there, but Sami Zayn's hanging around.
[Tom] Wait a minute.
Tyson Kidd's just abusing Sami Zayn in the corner.
[Byron] Pride is a dangerous thing.
you have a whole society, a whole universe that has tried to endanger
the pride of Tyson Kidd and this is his response.
[Tom] Now Tyson Kidd again, middle of the ring, Byron, you said it.
How many more opportunities is Tyson Kidd going to get
while he's all alone with Sami Zayn?
[Byron] You can't think about that.
You live in the moment and right now you notice Tyson Kidd
has got that rear chin lock but he's surveying the ring.
He's looking for breeze, he's looking for Neville,
he's surveying what his next obstacle's going to be until he finishes his plan.
[Renee] He's already taken out Tyler Breeze and Adrien Neville.
He's got to friendship between Neville and Zayn, they could form an alliance.
[Byron] Who cares about the friendship?
[Renee] Adrian Neville could help Sami Zayn.
[Byron] If he gets in.
[Tom] And Sami Zayn again grounded.
Look at the confidence of Tyson Kidd.
He knows the spotlight's on him right now.
He wants to make all those critics eat their words.
[fans chanting]
[Renee] I think Sami Zayn could have a good game plan here
to just roll with it and wait for his moment.
[Tom] Wait, the NXT champion, Neville's back in the ring!
And again dumped outside!
[Byron] Again, exactly. The game plan of Kidd.
[Tom] This could be Tyson Kidd's night.
He could get his redemption here on takeover. Oh, man!
[Byron] Where'd Neville come from?
[Tom] Neville… Oh!
And now Tyler Breeze has come to life!
The opportunist, clothesline by Zayn!
[Byron] That was Zayn tapping into his fifth gear.
[Tom] Sami with a dropkick was given a moment to collect himself in the corner.
[Renee] I told you Sami Zayn was waiting for his moment.
-[Byron] I've seen this look before. -[Renee] Stalking his…
[Tom] Whoa, wait a minute.
-Neville! Neville with a moonsault! -[Byron] Oh, my gosh.
[Renee laughs] That is a NXT champion.
[Tom] Toes to the ceiling, my man.
[Byron] Raise the stakes, you're competing for the NXT championship!
[fans chanting] Neville!
[Renee] This is what it's all about.
[Tom] We may finally see it.
Two friends. Look at that eye.
[fans chanting]
[Renee] This is about honor and respect.
[fans chanting]
[Tom] Oh, yeah.
Take the pads off, let's go!
Here we go, two superstars, traveled the world together
and now Neville unloading on Sami Zayn!
[fans chanting]
[Tom] Neville… Oh!
Dangerous position for the champion! Cover by Zayn and Kidd broke it up!
[Renee] Tyson Kidd is relentless today.
[Byron] Tyson Kidd is smart. Tyson Kidd is wise.
Tyson Kidd has come into this match prepared.
[Tom] Now Tyson Kidd all alone with his opponent from NXT takeover in May.
How fulfilling would this be for Tyson Kidd to pin the champion?
[Renee] He's been waiting for this opportunity and today could be it.
[Tom] Up on the top rope, Tyson Kidd head butted off by the champ.
Woha! Oh, man!
[Byron] Goodness.
[Tom] What a fall from Neville and there goes Breeze.
Oh! Spun on his neck.
-[Renee] This could be it! -[Tom] The cover, Sami Zayn's in trouble!
Sami Zayn is still in this match!
[cheers & applause]
[Byron] I repeat myself, but who ended up with the isolation advantage again?
[Tom] Tyson Kidd did. Wasted opportunities,
but Neville taking a pounding there in the corner and look at the opportunity.
What a move by Tyson Kidd.
[Byron] This easily could have been it.
A split second away from having a new champion.
[Renee] To say that we can see the experience that Tyson has today,
that's an understatement.
[Tom] Kidd looking for the Hart family sharpshooter and Sami Zayn counters.
[Byron] Whoa! Countered by Kidd.
[Tom] Tyson Kidd can't seem to lock in the sharpshooter.
[Renee] Sami Zayn knows how dangerous it can be.
[Tom] Oh! Sami Zayn is out.
Sami Zayn's out cold. Tyson Kidd…
Oh! And the elbow connected to the knee.
[Byron] That's a resourcefulness of Sami Zayn now coming into play!
[Tom] Sami… Oh, the beauty shot from out of nowhere!
Breeze, the supermodel kick!
[Renee] Breeze is coming to clean up!
[Tom] Oh wow, Breeze clearinghouse!
Shoulders down on Neville! And the champ kicked out.
The cover on Kidd! Open body there and another kick-out.
[Renee] He is looking to seize this opportunity no matter who's at stake.
[Tom] The era of gorgeousness could be on the horizon!
[fans chanting]
[Tom] The most exploitative superstar in the history of NXT,
Tyler Breeze, was seconds away from the championship.
[Byron] You got to love this man.
Fight with your heart, fight like this is your last night in the universe!
Give it everything you've got! This is what NXT's all about!
[Renee] NXT superstars know the importance of what this means
to be on NXT takeover, to have this match.
They got to fight for it, you got to earn it.
[fans chanting]
[Tom] Now breeze wondering what it's going to take to put away
the NXT champion here.
[Cheers & boos]
[Byron] We know time and time again, any time you go to that top rope
you run a high risk of something really bad happening.
[Renee] When you run a risk, sometimes you get a big reward.
[fans chanting]
[Tom] Wait a minute, Kidd getting involved in this dangerous situation.
-[Byron] What? -[Tom] Oh my god.
Guys, we saw this… We saw this earlier up on the ramp.
They're looking for the double suplex here.
Wait a minute! Wait a minute.
[Byron] Wait a minute, no, no, no.
-[Tom] Are you kidding me? Oh my god! -[Renee] What?
Zayn falling…
Sami Zayn… So close!
Oh my god!
[Renee] I don't know how that didn't just finish!
Oh my god!
[fans chanting]
[Tom] Look at this! There are no words to describe this!
[Renee] Have you ever seen that before?
[Tom] And still, Tyson Kidd stuck around in this match-up.
And look who's still left in the ring, Zayn, Neville and Kidd.
Tyler Breeze has fallen outside the ring.
[Byron] The elusive three seconds.
How hard has it been just to get your opponent down,
just to make your opponent give up?
I mean, all four of these men can taste the NXT championship.
[Tom] One more look at this. This is an instant classic.
Oh!
There's a reason they call it a fatal 4-way.
[Renee] We're going to be talking about that for a long time.
[fans chanting]
[Tom] Now Sami Zayn's got to be frustrated.
[Byron] Get frustrated! Look at that! There you go! That's what I want to see!
-[Renee] There's that fire. -[Tom] Sami! Oh! Right on the jaw.
[Renee] Fire kicked clean out of his mouth.
[Tom] Wait a minute.
Adrian Neville…
This could be the moment for Neville! Could be red arrow time!
-[Byron] Better hurry! -[Tom] Sami's in the drop zone! Kidd! Oh.
Now again, back up top, the NXT champion, this is where he lives.
Looking for… Oh! Are you kidding me?
And now Tyler Breeze tossing Neville out!
Breeze, Breeze, the cover! The cover and Zayn got up.
[Tom laughs] How the hell did Zayn kick-out?
[Renee] Sami Zayn is a fighter!
[Byron] That was as close a moment in this entire match
for Breeze to capture the championship!
[fans chanting]
Breeze knows it too.
[Tom] Tyler Breeze has had the golden opportunity
slip out of his fingers three times in this match.
[Byron] Breeze is having flashbacks from when he was number one contender.
-That opportunity got taken away from him. -[Renee] He's been there, it hurts.
[Tom] And across the ring from him,
the man he beat to become number one contender.
If Tyler Breeze pins Sami Zayn here, he's the NXT champion.
He's thinking, he's plotting.
Breeze looking for the beauty shot again!
Oh man!
-[Tom] Kidd in the face of Breeze… -[Renee] Here we go!
…rolling into the sharpshooter!
[Byron] He's got it in, center of the ring!
[Tom] Tyson Kidd talked about this all week.
He believed that Breeze was the weak link with the sharpshooter.
Tyler Breeze screaming out in pain.
[Byron] And there's nobody around.
[Renee] Can he make him tap?
[Tom] Breeze crawling to the bottom rope!
Dragged back to the middle.
[Byron] Tyson Kidd feels the moment! It's about to be his!
[Tom] Look at this! Breeze is about to tap out!
And Neville catching the hand of Breeze while Zayn breaks it up.
[Renee] Smart defense.
[Byron] That's a clutch move by Neville,
to watch the hand of Breeze almost tapping out and to catch it!
[Tom] That's beyond clutch, that's doing literally anything
to keep his championship.
[fans chanting]
[Tom] Remember, Neville asked for this.
-Neville wanted the suspense. -[Renee] Right.
[Byron] He wanted the disadvantage.
[Tom] Look at this trending right now worldwide #fatal4way.
And rightfully so, what a match here.
[Byron] Can we say #breathtaking too?
[Renee] What a night.
[fans chanting]
[Tom] All four of these superstars have thrown so much into this match.
Old friends just going at it here.
[Byron] Battle of attrition.
These two men have traveled the roads together all over the world
-and now competing for a championship! -[Tom] Neville… Oh!
Wait a minute. Kidd! Kidd!
Drop on the exploder suplex!
[Byron] And this is why Zayn is the everlasting underdog of NXT!
[All] Whoa!
[Tom] Neville has been tossed into the NXT universe!
[Byron] That's how you eliminate your competition!
[Renee] You don't have to wait, you got to go after the other.
-[Byron] Whoa! The DDT! -[Renee] What?
[Tom] Shades of Cesaro!
[Byron] This is game day for Zayn, bring everything you got in the pot!
[Tom] Helluva kick! This is Zayn's moment!
The cover on Tyson Kidd!
Tyson Kidd… What the hell?
[Renee] What?
[cheers & boos]
[fans chanting]
[Byron] Remember, this is legal!
There's no disqualification in this match-up
so Neville pulling the referee out of the match is okay to save his title!
[Tom] Sami Zayn caught with a super kick!
Wait a minute, Neville… Oh, my god!
Kidd's… Kidd's taken a helluva kick!
The red arrow connects! Adrian Neville, the cover on Kidd!
[bell rings]
Zayn tried to save it but the champion's going to hold on to his title.
[Renee] Wow!
[announcer] Here's your winner and still NXT champion,
Adrian Neville!
[Renee] I'm speechless.
[Byron] You might question the ethics
or some of the movements that Neville made in this match-up,
but hey, he did what he had to do to retain his championship.
[Renee] You can't deny that.
You come and fight tooth and nail, you walk away with your championship.
He did everything he had to do.
Makes a good champ.
[Byron] We knew this was going to be chaotic,
we knew all four of these men would give you everything they had
and they did not disappoint.
[Renee] This can now solidify Neville as the best NXT champion
in the history of NXT.
[Tom] We got to take a look back at this fatal 4-way for the NXT championship.
Watch this, the height that Adrian Neville got on this will take out Breeze and Kidd.
[Byron] And then Sami Zayn, the everlasting underdog
thought he had Breeze, but this was the unpredictability of this match-up.
Tyler Breeze on a roll, Tyler Breeze thought it would be his moment.
[Tom] Tyler Breeze cleaned the house here in this match.
A beauty shot, a supermodel kick, a dropkick in midair,
but this was amazing!
Arguably the moment of the match!
Sami Zayn somehow could not put away Tyson Kidd.
[Byron] It's a fatal 4-way for a reason.
You put your body on the line and you risk it all.
[Renee] They spared no physical expense.
[Tom] And then this, the closing moments.
Tyson Kidd taking out Adrian Neville, took out Zayn,
another golden moment for Tyler Breeze and even that would not do it.
[Byron] Tyson Kidd had his chance,
sharpshooter locked in, nobody in sight until this,
Neville stopping the hand from tapping out and saving his championship.
-[Renee] Champ move. -[Tom] He proved it earlier in the match
and then Sami Zayn doing whatever he had to do.
[Byron] Yeah, but you think about taking it to the next level, watch this.
Sami Zayn always digging into that bag of tricks for something new.
[Tom] And then Zayn, after unleashing a helluva kick on Tyson Kidd,
Adrian Neville pulled the referee out of the ring.
[Byron] The smartest move of the night.
You may question the ethics, you may question the reasoning,
but pulling out the referee was legal in a match-up
with no disqualifications and no count outs,
and what it did was create the ultimate opening
for the NXT champion to capitalize.
[Tom] Sami Zayn was absolutely stunned by the actions of his long-time friend.
And Neville! The door was open for a super kick and then Neville…
[Byron] Just like it was trending worldwide on Monday night…
it'll be trending tonight, but this time still as NXT champion.
One more time, look at the height! Look at the impact!
[Tom] The red arrow wipes out Tyson Kidd
after a vicious helluva kick moments before from Sami Zayn.
[Byron] Adrian Neville has just validated himself
as perhaps one of the greatest NXT champions we have ever seen.
[Renee] There's no question about that.
[music]
[Tom] Let's take a look back here.
The red arrow, it trended on Raw and it got the job done tonight
for a champion who we learned a lot about here at NXT takeover.
Look at all the height!
Anyone else in the WWE universe can do what Adrian Neville does?
[Renee] No way.
Man's his own league.
[Byron] Frustration's going to set in for all these superstars,
but this was a heck of a match and at the end of the day
the Batman is still your champion.
[Tom] Stay with us here live on the WWE network,
NXT takeover fatal 4-way fallout is next.
