01:11:53,809 [Nigel] That's right. 1140 01:11:53,876 --> 01:11:57,546 Now Dream, perhaps, looking, maybe perhaps for a sharpshooter, 1141 01:11:57,613 --> 01:12:00,082 I couldn't see exactly what he was trying for. 1142 01:12:00,149 --> 01:12:02,484 Strong doggedly kicked off the champion. 1143 01:12:02,551 --> 01:12:03,952 [Mauro] Well, Dream has adopted Canada as his home, 1144 01:12:04,019 --> 01:12:07,322 and, of course, one of Canada's greatest entertainers ever, 1145 01:12:07,389 --> 01:12:10,326 Bret "the Hitman" Hart, the WWE Hall of Famer. 1146 01:12:10,392 --> 01:12:13,128 [Beth] Roderick Strong's in trouble at the moment. 1147 01:12:14,730 --> 01:12:16,331 -[Mauro] Oh, what-- -[Beth] Wow! 1148 01:12:16,398 --> 01:12:18,634 [Mauro] A dropkick by Velveteen Dream. 1149 01:12:18,701 --> 01:12:21,937 [Mauro] Strong started this match up saying "pay attention to me." 1150 01:12:22,004 --> 01:12:25,874 He got his wish, maybe he'd wish for something different now. 1151 01:12:25,941 --> 01:12:30,913 [Beth] Oh, interesting teamwork here between Dream and Dunne. 1152 01:12:32,414 --> 01:12:35,551 [Mauro] A temporary tenuous allegiance, 1153 01:12:35,617 --> 01:12:40,055 but it pays dividends there as Roderick Strong gets his arm stomped. 1154 01:12:43,559 --> 01:12:46,929 [Nigel] Some collusion between Dunne and Dream. 1155 01:12:46,995 --> 01:12:49,365 [Mauro] Let's see how long that allegiance lasts, shall we? 1156 01:12:49,431 --> 01:12:51,333 -[Mauro] As-- -[Beth] Not long, Mauro. 1157 01:12:51,400 --> 01:12:53,802 [Mauro] Velveteen Dream, channeling it, 1158 01:12:53,869 --> 01:12:58,340 his inner "Ravishing" Rick Rude, saying hello to Pete Dunne. 1159 01:13:01,577 --> 01:13:05,881 Takeover by Velveteen Dream, head scissors, escape by Dream. 1160 01:13:06,982 --> 01:13:11,286 To think that Pete Dunne has wrestled for more than half his life, 1161 01:13:11,353 --> 01:13:15,290 started training at the age of 12, a prodigy. 1162 01:13:15,357 --> 01:13:17,226 Wow, right into that cross armbreaker. 1163 01:13:17,292 --> 01:13:19,394 [Nigel] Doesn't have the full extension, 1164 01:13:19,461 --> 01:13:21,830 look at the angle of the left arm of Dream. 1165 01:13:21,897 --> 01:13:24,333 [Beth] Smart Dream, to break the hold, 1166 01:13:24,400 --> 01:13:26,402 Dunne never really got a hold of it. 1167 01:13:26,468 --> 01:13:29,705 [Mauro] Looked like a MMA pioneer with that flying armbar attempt. 1168 01:13:29,772 --> 01:13:32,474 -[Nigel] Very effective. -[Beth] There's a pop handle 1169 01:13:32,541 --> 01:13:36,245 [Mauro] Oh, trying for the bitter end, but the escape from Velveteen Dream. 1170 01:13:36,779 --> 01:13:39,581 -[Nigel] Oh, no. -[Mauro] Oh, wow. 1171 01:13:39,648 --> 01:13:43,519 Here in the home of the Raptors, nothing but nuts. 1172 01:13:45,487 --> 01:13:49,725 Oh, wrecking ball dropkick by Roderick Strong. 1173 01:13:49,792 --> 01:13:53,896 And then he slams Dream, and Roderick Strong, a man possessed, 1174 01:13:53,962 --> 01:13:56,999 they call him the Messiah of the Backbreaker for a reason, 1175 01:13:57,065 --> 01:14:00,536 and he's breaking backs in Toronto. 1176 01:14:01,537 --> 01:14:04,306 [crowd cheering] 1177 01:14:04,373 --> 01:14:07,543 [Nigel] Roderick Strong was on an absolute tear 1178 01:14:07,609 --> 01:14:10,979 before Pete Dunne showed up in NXT. 1179 01:14:11,046 --> 01:14:15,684 [Mauro] Roderick Strong has come so close to singles glory, 1180 01:14:15,751 --> 01:14:19,221 both as NXT champion and North American champ, 1181 01:14:19,288 --> 01:14:21,924 a former NXT Tag Team champion, going for the cover. 1182 01:14:24,326 --> 01:14:26,829 [Nigel] And now, if Velveteen Dream is smart, 1183 01:14:26,895 --> 01:14:28,797 he will stay on the outside 1184 01:14:28,864 --> 01:14:33,602 and watch Roderick Strong and Pete Dunne tear each other apart. 1185 01:14:33,669 --> 01:14:38,173 [Beth] These two had such an epic confrontation on NXT television. 1186 01:14:38,240 --> 01:14:40,375 [Mauro] Cover by Strong. 1187 01:14:40,442 --> 01:14:41,910 They've had an epic rivalry, 1188 01:14:41,977 --> 01:14:45,514 both for Dunne's former United Kingdom championship. 1189 01:14:45,581 --> 01:14:50,018 And of course, as Nigel mentioned, when Strong turned on his Tag Team partner, 1190 01:14:50,085 --> 01:14:53,922 when they were vying for the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic 1191 01:14:53,989 --> 01:14:56,458 and the NXT Tag Team titles. 1192 01:14:56,525 --> 01:14:58,293 [Nigel] There was a lot on the line 1193 01:14:58,360 --> 01:15:01,330 and Roderick Strong made a difficult decision that night. 1194 01:15:06,368 --> 01:15:09,938 [Mauro] Oh, what a crushing dropkick by Roderick Strong, 1195 01:15:10,005 --> 01:15:12,207 who is firing on all cylinders, Beth. 1196 01:15:12,274 --> 01:15:15,077 -[Beth] And we've seen this before. -[Mauro] Cover. 1197 01:15:15,143 --> 01:15:18,213 [Beth] Strong does such a great job at pacing himself, 1198 01:15:18,280 --> 01:15:21,817 his cardiovascular training is unbelievable. 1199 01:15:21,884 --> 01:15:25,020 I would argue he might have the best gas tank of anybody in NXT. 1200 01:15:25,087 --> 01:15:27,756 [Mauro] His conditioning is nonparallel, you're right. 1201 01:15:27,823 --> 01:15:30,692 He almost seems to get better as the match progresses, 1202 01:15:30,759 --> 01:15:32,327 but here in this Triple Threat match, 1203 01:15:32,394 --> 01:15:36,198 again, he's hoping for a one-on-one opportunity against the Velveteen Dream 1204 01:15:36,265 --> 01:15:39,701 before Pete Dunne made his shocking return to full sail live 1205 01:15:39,768 --> 01:15:43,605 and now, they are looking to shock each other's systems. 1206 01:15:45,274 --> 01:15:48,911 [Nigel] I love the way Strong always goes back to the midsection. 1207 01:15:48,977 --> 01:15:53,248 [Mauro] And remember Velveteen Dream doesn't have to lose to lose his title. 1208 01:15:53,315 --> 01:15:56,785 Roderick Strong looking to become North American champion right there. 1209 01:15:56,852 --> 01:15:59,321 -[Nigel] Hold on. -[Mauro] Speaking of the Dream. 1210 01:16:01,523 --> 01:16:03,659 [Nigel] No need to be pinned or submitted. 1211 01:16:04,493 --> 01:16:06,228 [Mauro] No disqualifications. 1212 01:16:06,762 --> 01:16:09,865 Telegraphed that back body drop, boot to the midsection, 1213 01:16:09,932 --> 01:16:13,902 clothesline by the Velveteen Dream, attacking Roderick Strong's bread basket. 1214 01:16:13,969 --> 01:16:16,471 Russian leg sweep, moves over for the cover, 1215 01:16:16,538 --> 01:16:19,274 doesn't hook the leg, and Strong escapes. 1216 01:16:19,341 --> 01:16:22,244 [Beth] He has to continue to keep himself in this matchup 1217 01:16:22,311 --> 01:16:25,180 if he wants to walk with the North American championship. 1218 01:16:25,247 --> 01:16:28,183 [Mauro] The Messiah getting some of his own bad medicine, 1219 01:16:28,250 --> 01:16:29,918 Nigel, with a pendulum backbreaker. 1220 01:16:29,985 --> 01:16:32,421 [Nigel] What a momentum there fighting Roderick Strong. 1221 01:16:32,487 --> 01:16:37,092 Like an accordion, and, again, perhaps a homage to Bret "the Hitman" Hart. 1222 01:16:37,159 --> 01:16:40,562 [Mauro] Papa Ranallo will appreciate that accordion reference, Nigel. 1223 01:16:40,629 --> 01:16:41,930 [Beth] There we go, Nigel. 1224 01:16:41,997 --> 01:16:44,099 [Mauro] And speaking of the best there is, 1225 01:16:44,166 --> 01:16:47,035 the best there was, and the best there ever will be. 1226 01:16:47,102 --> 01:16:50,872 Velveteen Dream with a sharpshooter here in Canada. 1227 01:16:50,939 --> 01:16:53,709 [Beth] Many a legend has tapped out in this maneuver, 1228 01:16:53,775 --> 01:16:56,244 extremely painful in the lower back. 1229 01:16:56,311 --> 01:16:58,947 [Mauro] Well, Pete Dunne, all the way to the top-- 1230 01:16:59,014 --> 01:17:00,349 [all] Oh! 1231 01:17:00,415 --> 01:17:03,752 [Mauro] Turnbuckle and drives both of his feet 1232 01:17:03,819 --> 01:17:05,754 into the back of the Velveteen Dream. 1233 01:17:08,056 --> 01:17:09,758 [Nigel] Take a look here. 1234 01:17:09,825 --> 01:17:12,995 Dunne had two opportunities, either go for Dream or for Strong. 1235 01:17:13,061 --> 01:17:15,764 He chose Dream and now will attempt to follow up. 1236 01:17:17,232 --> 01:17:20,335 [Mauro] Oh. Dunne looking for that pescado, 1237 01:17:20,402 --> 01:17:23,438 instead eats the right hand, courtesy of the Velveteen Dream, 1238 01:17:23,505 --> 01:17:26,074 has this Triple Threat match breaking down here. 1239 01:17:26,141 --> 01:17:29,378 Oh, and another wrecking ball dropkick by Roderick Strong. 1240 01:17:29,444 --> 01:17:32,114 And he has looked to also striking up the matchup. 1241 01:17:32,814 --> 01:17:35,851 [Beth] Beautiful moonsault from Pete Dunne. 1242 01:17:37,319 --> 01:17:39,121 [Mauro] No count outs. 1243 01:17:39,187 --> 01:17:42,824 Remember, no champion's advantage. 1244 01:17:45,794 --> 01:17:50,732 [Beth] Take a look at the elevation here, Dunne using all of his-- 1245 01:17:50,799 --> 01:17:54,736 all of his bodyweight to topple both Dream and Strong. 1246 01:17:55,570 --> 01:17:57,939 [Mauro] Roderick Strong backs into the corner. 1247 01:17:58,807 --> 01:18:02,811 [Mauro] Somewhat serendipitous, taking down Dream on the outside, 1248 01:18:02,878 --> 01:18:04,546 but nothing, oh, lucky about that. 1249 01:18:04,613 --> 01:18:06,415 [Mauro] Step up enzuigiri by Dunne, 1250 01:18:06,481 --> 01:18:08,684 and then he sends Dream crashing into Strong. 1251 01:18:08,750 --> 01:18:11,053 German suplex by Dunne. 1252 01:18:11,119 --> 01:18:15,290 Another German suplex and this time, he sends Strong crashing down on Dream. 1253 01:18:15,357 --> 01:18:17,292 Back press, hooks the leg, 1254 01:18:17,359 --> 01:18:21,263 and Pete Dunne almost becoming a two-time champion in NXT, 1255 01:18:21,329 --> 01:18:25,500 as he was almost crowned NXT North American champ for the first time. 1256 01:18:25,567 --> 01:18:26,802 [Nigel] Take a look. 1257 01:18:26,868 --> 01:18:29,371 This is why Triple Threat matches are so dangerous. 1258 01:18:29,438 --> 01:18:31,840 Here, what would just be a normal German suplex, 1259 01:18:31,907 --> 01:18:36,578 Strong trying to escape there but landing on Velveteen Dream instead. 1260 01:18:36,645 --> 01:18:39,915 [Mauro] Just think about this, Dunne held the United Kingdom title 1261 01:18:39,981 --> 01:18:44,786 for well over 650 days, the longest title reign in modern WWE history. 1262 01:18:45,554 --> 01:18:49,624 [Nigel] An incredible legacy, as he attempts to add to it now. 1263 01:18:49,691 --> 01:18:51,526 Brutal stomps. 1264 01:18:51,593 --> 01:18:55,797 And instead now, it's Dunne on the receiving end of strikes. 1265 01:18:55,864 --> 01:18:57,866 [Beth] Dunne may be breaking off too much. 1266 01:18:57,933 --> 01:19:02,471 [Mauro] Strong and Dream forging a temporary alliance as they-- 1267 01:19:02,537 --> 01:19:04,906 Oh!

02:00:14,440 [Nigel] Here we go. 2012 02:00:21,747 --> 02:00:25,685 [Mauro] Johnny Gargano has proven to be a marvel on the mat, and 2013 02:00:25,751 --> 02:00:28,321 Johnny Wrestling full iron man mode, 2014 02:00:28,387 --> 02:00:31,624 and he's hoping though for a stark difference, Nigel, 2015 02:00:31,691 --> 02:00:33,226 in the outcome of this endgame. 2016 02:00:33,292 --> 02:00:38,698 He is seeking to join Samoa Joe and Shinsuke Nakamura 2017 02:00:38,764 --> 02:00:41,500 as two-time NXT Champions. 2018 02:00:41,567 --> 02:00:44,303 [Nigel] A huge task for Johnny Wrestling. 2019 02:00:44,370 --> 02:00:50,109 What lays ahead as we just heard, two out of three falls match. 2020 02:00:51,344 --> 02:00:54,647 Gargano chooses one stipulation, Cole the other. 2021 02:00:55,815 --> 02:00:59,318 And William Regal, if needed, as you mentioned, Beth, 2022 02:00:59,619 --> 02:01:02,154 will be that third stipulation. 2023 02:01:02,221 --> 02:01:04,857 And if you were watching the pre-show earlier tonight, 2024 02:01:04,924 --> 02:01:09,862 that demonic structure, the steel cage full of weapons, 2025 02:01:09,929 --> 02:01:13,532 I daresay, William Regal, you didn't want that to happen. 2026 02:01:13,799 --> 02:01:16,302 He wanted to try to inspire Gargano and Cole 2027 02:01:16,369 --> 02:01:18,437 to end this in two straight falls. 2028 02:01:18,504 --> 02:01:20,373 [Mauro] Well, we've got to get there first, 2029 02:01:20,439 --> 02:01:23,976 as we have Johnny Gargano picking a street fight. 2030 02:01:24,043 --> 02:01:27,647 Adam Cole picking a classic one-on-one wrestling match. 2031 02:01:27,713 --> 02:01:30,216 Beth, he wants to out wrestle Johnny Wrestling, 2032 02:01:30,282 --> 02:01:33,786 but yet, if we get to that third and final fall, 2033 02:01:33,853 --> 02:01:36,455 hell is coming for Toronto. 2034 02:01:36,522 --> 02:01:41,360 [crowd chattering] 2035 02:01:41,427 --> 02:01:42,595 Let's go to hell. 2036 02:01:42,895 --> 02:01:43,796 Bring it on. 2037 02:01:43,863 --> 02:01:50,870 [crowd] Adam Cole, Adam Cole! 2038 02:01:50,970 --> 02:01:54,006 [Mauro] NXT Champion making Johnny Gargano wait. 2039 02:01:56,108 --> 02:02:01,313 [music] 2040 02:02:18,297 --> 02:02:20,499 [Mauro] Slipknot provides the soundtrack 2041 02:02:20,566 --> 02:02:24,103 to NXT's weekly offering on the WWE network. 2042 02:02:24,770 --> 02:02:29,308 The band's microphone feed, Corey Taylor, a passenger on the Adam Cole train. 2043 02:02:29,375 --> 02:02:32,578 Taylor got to pose with the NXT Championship 2044 02:02:32,645 --> 02:02:34,547 at the UK's Download Festival. 2045 02:02:34,613 --> 02:02:38,551 Cole hoping to produce some knot fest on Gargano's forehead. 2046 02:02:38,617 --> 02:02:40,619 And boy, the Cole, 2047 02:02:40,686 --> 02:02:43,756 that Bay Bay champion celebration tour 2048 02:02:43,823 --> 02:02:47,626 has not sat well with Johnny Gargano and his family. 2049 02:02:47,693 --> 02:02:48,961 [Nigel] Absolutely not. 2050 02:02:50,429 --> 02:02:51,764 Hold on a second. 2051 02:02:51,831 --> 02:02:53,399 Wait for it. 2052 02:02:55,167 --> 02:02:56,502 [crowd] Boom. 2053 02:02:57,636 --> 02:02:59,438 [Nigel] Boom indeed. 2054 02:02:59,505 --> 02:03:04,076 And that is Adam Cole, who brought the boom on Johnny Gargano 2055 02:03:04,143 --> 02:03:08,114 taking that NXT title away from Gargano in Gargano's first title defense. 2056 02:03:08,180 --> 02:03:09,949 Adam Cole, Bay Bay. 2057 02:03:10,015 --> 02:03:13,219 [crowd cheering] 2058 02:03:13,285 --> 02:03:18,691 [Mauro] Their first two NXT meetings have been instant classics. 2059 02:03:18,758 --> 02:03:23,829 Two of the greatest matches, not only in NXT, but in WWE history, 2060 02:03:23,896 --> 02:03:28,901 and they are raring to get started in this two out of three falls match 2061 02:03:28,968 --> 02:03:31,470 for the NXT title. 2062 02:03:32,505 --> 02:03:33,339 Right there. 2063 02:03:33,406 --> 02:03:34,607 [bell ringing] 2064 02:03:34,807 --> 02:03:38,611 [female announcer] The following contest is a two out of three falls match 2065 02:03:38,677 --> 02:03:44,416 for the NXT Championship. 2066 02:03:49,021 --> 02:03:53,125 Introducing first the challenger, from Cleveland, Ohio, 2067 02:03:53,192 --> 02:03:55,795 weighing in at 199 pounds, 2068 02:03:56,462 --> 02:04:01,500 Johnny Gargano. 2069 02:04:01,567 --> 02:04:07,273 [crowd cheering] 2070 02:04:07,339 --> 02:04:14,313 [female announcer] And his opponent, representing the undisputed era, 2071 02:04:15,748 --> 02:04:19,385 he is the NXT Champion, 2072 02:04:19,752 --> 02:04:22,655 Adam Cole. 2073 02:04:22,721 --> 02:04:25,424 [crowd cheering] 2074 02:04:26,792 --> 02:04:28,861 [mouthing words silently] 2075 02:04:31,764 --> 02:04:35,334 [Nigel] Well, a polarized NXT universe here in Toronto. 2076 02:04:36,101 --> 02:04:39,438 [crowd cheering] 2077 02:04:39,505 --> 02:04:45,211 [Mauro] NXT Champion being vetted by the fans here in Toronto. 2078 02:04:45,277 --> 02:04:52,051 Again, the NXT title up for grabs in another two out of three falls match, 2079 02:04:52,117 --> 02:04:53,619 but this one with a twist, Beth. 2080 02:04:54,119 --> 02:04:55,054 [Beth] Absolutely. 2081 02:04:55,120 --> 02:04:58,757 And Johnny Gargano is channeling his inner Wolverine in this moment. 2082 02:04:59,959 --> 02:05:01,060 Looking vicious… 2083 02:05:02,661 --> 02:05:04,096 Absolutely. 2084 02:05:04,530 --> 02:05:07,266 [mouthing words silently] 2085 02:05:07,333 --> 02:05:10,069 [Nigel] #NXTChampionship. 2086 02:05:10,135 --> 02:05:12,338 That's what it's all about here tonight. 2087 02:05:14,006 --> 02:05:18,077 [Mauro] And remember in the first fall of their first 2 out of 3 falls matchup, 2088 02:05:18,143 --> 02:05:20,613 Adam Cole beat Johnny Gargano 2089 02:05:20,679 --> 02:05:24,450 before Gargano reeled up two consecutive wins 2090 02:05:24,517 --> 02:05:28,220 to become the first NXT triple crown champion, 2091 02:05:28,287 --> 02:05:30,256 but now the champion is Adam Cole 2092 02:05:30,322 --> 02:05:33,826 after another Magnum opus at TakeOver XXV. 2093 02:05:33,893 --> 02:05:35,394 [Beth] I talked to Adam Cole before this match, 2094 02:05:35,461 --> 02:05:38,797 and he said that he wants to cement his legacy in NXT as the greatest, 2095 02:05:38,864 --> 02:05:42,501 and to do that, he needs to beat Mister NXT one last time. 2096 02:05:42,568 --> 02:05:46,639 [Mauro] And Nigel, our first fall, a classic wrestling match, 2097 02:05:46,705 --> 02:05:48,607 a catchers catch can clinic, 2098 02:05:48,674 --> 02:05:51,844 if you will, and usually, that should benefit Johnny Gargano, 2099 02:05:51,911 --> 02:05:53,679 Johnny Wrestling showing that early, 2100 02:05:53,746 --> 02:05:57,883 but what do you think about Adam Cole going for this particular stipulation? 2101 02:05:57,950 --> 02:05:59,151 [Nigel] Well, as we heard, you know, 2102 02:05:59,218 --> 02:06:01,954 in the last two times that these two superstars have faced off, 2103 02:06:02,021 --> 02:06:06,792 Cole won the first fall in a classic wrestling match, 2104 02:06:06,859 --> 02:06:10,296 so it makes perfect sense for Cole to choose that for his stipulation. 2105 02:06:10,596 --> 02:06:14,466 Cole winning the coin toss to get the first stipulation in this match. 2106 02:06:14,533 --> 02:06:18,037 [Mauro] NXT Champion says this Adam Cole can't be stopped. 2107 02:06:19,038 --> 02:06:23,375 Unfortunately, it's been a tough night for the undisputed era. 2108 02:06:23,576 --> 02:06:24,710 [Nigel] Boy, has it ever. 2109 02:06:24,777 --> 02:06:27,513 Adam Cole having to lead by example yet again. 2110 02:06:28,647 --> 02:06:33,452 [Mauro] Again, Johnny Gargano gets pulled over by the champ. 2111 02:06:33,519 --> 02:06:36,088 A Panama City playboy, in full effect here. 2112 02:06:36,155 --> 02:06:38,157 Early leapfrog by Gargano. 2113 02:06:38,390 --> 02:06:40,559 Standing switch by Johnny Wrestling. 2114 02:06:41,060 --> 02:06:42,695 Looking for that O'Connor roll. 2115 02:06:42,761 --> 02:06:43,862 [Beth] Speaking to your point, Nigel, 2116 02:06:43,929 --> 02:06:46,398 the pressure lays in on Adam Cole in this moment 2117 02:06:46,465 --> 02:06:50,936 because undisputed era could possibly be going home with no gold. 2118 02:06:51,003 --> 02:06:53,238 [Mauro] Gargano avoiding that last shot, 2119 02:06:53,305 --> 02:06:55,507 and then Cole avoiding the Gargano escape. 2120 02:06:55,574 --> 02:06:58,844 And they, of course, these guys know each other pretty well. 2121 02:06:58,911 --> 02:07:01,213 Their rivalry dating back a decade. 2122 02:07:01,280 --> 02:07:03,515 [crowd cheering] 2123 02:07:03,582 --> 02:07:06,385 [Mauro] And two superstars who revere "the heartbreak kid" 2124 02:07:06,452 --> 02:07:10,589 Shawn Michaels, looking to tune up some sweet chin music on each other. 2125 02:07:11,357 --> 02:07:15,561 [Nigel] Very evenly matched up in all assets. 2126 02:07:17,129 --> 02:07:20,132 Cole may be a couple of inches taller than Gargano. 2127 02:07:22,201 --> 02:07:25,537 Gargano, a few more years experienced perhaps. 2128 02:07:28,073 --> 02:07:32,111 [Mauro] Adam Cole grew up watching Bruce Lee movies with his dad. 2129 02:07:32,177 --> 02:07:33,879 Of course, Bruce Lee quoting, 2130 02:07:34,313 --> 02:07:37,116 saying "showing off is a fool's idea of glory." 2131 02:07:37,850 --> 02:07:39,551 Adam Cole definitely showing off 2132 02:07:39,618 --> 02:07:42,788 with his Bay Bay Championship celebration tour. 2133 02:07:44,790 --> 02:07:47,426 [Nigel] Cole looking for the Panama sunrise. 2134 02:07:47,493 --> 02:07:49,595 [Mauro] Of course, Johnny Gargano can flow like a water, 2135 02:07:49,661 --> 02:07:52,131 and there, back elbow to Cole. 2136 02:07:53,065 --> 02:07:54,066 [Nigel] Oh. 2137 02:07:55,768 --> 02:07:58,137 Gargano trying the exact same thing. 2138 02:07:59,038 --> 02:07:59,872 [both] Oh. 2139 02:07:59,938 --> 02:08:02,441 [Mauro] Gargano with that rana on Cole 2140 02:08:02,508 --> 02:08:05,310 and the clothesline sends the champion over the top rope, 2141 02:08:05,577 --> 02:08:09,982 as Johnny Gargano, dropkick through the ropes on Cole. 2142 02:08:10,049 --> 02:08:15,921 And Nigel, talk to the legacy that Johnny Gargano is building, 2143 02:08:15,988 --> 02:08:19,391 the consecutive amazing matchups 2144 02:08:19,458 --> 02:08:22,494 that he has put together against Cole, Tommaso Ciampa, 2145 02:08:22,561 --> 02:08:24,830 the most brutal rivalry in NXT history. 2146 02:08:24,897 --> 02:08:29,134 [Nigel] Gargano has been christened Johnny TakeOver for that exact reason. 2147 02:08:29,802 --> 02:08:33,305 [Mauro] He's appeared in more NXT TakeOver main events, 2148 02:08:33,372 --> 02:08:36,075 more NXT TakeOver events period, Beth. 2149 02:08:36,141 --> 02:08:38,210 [Beth] That's why they call him Mister NXT. 2150 02:08:41,113 --> 02:08:42,714 [Nigel] Early in this matchup, 2151 02:08:42,781 --> 02:08:45,684 we're seeing how both of these superstars have each other scouted. 2152 02:08:45,751 --> 02:08:46,919 -[Mauro] Oh, yeah. -[Nigel] Again. 2153 02:08:47,352 --> 02:08:48,754 [Mauro] They have done their homework. 2154 02:08:49,288 --> 02:08:52,491 They have been through two Titanic tussles, 2155 02:08:52,925 --> 02:08:55,661 and they have definitely done their homework [indistinct] 2156 02:08:56,395 --> 02:08:59,364 Gargano driving Adam Cole's knee, 2157 02:08:59,431 --> 02:09:01,867 the knee he uses for that last shot. 2158 02:09:01,934 --> 02:09:03,769 [Beth] We saw this at TakeOver XXV. 2159 02:09:03,836 --> 02:09:06,538 Both competitors truly targeting a body part, 2160 02:09:06,805 --> 02:09:08,540 really dismantling one another, 2161 02:09:08,741 --> 02:09:10,742 making it difficult to apply a hold. 2162 02:09:11,110 --> 02:09:13,545 [Mauro] Johnny Gargano saying he was a chubby, 2163 02:09:13,612 --> 02:09:17,015 shy, socially awkward kid, who didn't have a lot of friends. 2164 02:09:17,082 --> 02:09:18,150 Oh. 2165 02:09:18,217 --> 02:09:21,553 And not making friends at all with Adam Cole. 2166 02:09:21,620 --> 02:09:23,055 He had respect for Adam Cole 2167 02:09:23,122 --> 02:09:26,058 before Cole went to his hometown of Cleveland. 2168 02:09:26,959 --> 02:09:31,964 [Nigel] Johnny Gargano is an inspiration to a lot of chubby, anti-social kids, 2169 02:09:32,030 --> 02:09:35,467 and we saw a couple of those in that training class that he gave. 2170 02:09:35,534 --> 02:09:38,871 [Mauro] Yeah, Gargano representing the Twan Tuckers of the world, 2171 02:09:38,937 --> 02:09:40,772 said he had no idea where he fit in this world 2172 02:09:40,839 --> 02:09:42,808 until he discovered wrestling. 2173 02:09:43,275 --> 02:09:45,010 And, of course, became Johnny Wrestling, 2174 02:09:45,077 --> 02:09:47,980 and showcasing that acumen here against Adam Cole. 2175 02:09:48,046 --> 02:09:52,651 And this is the first of what could be three falls to determine an NXT Champion. 2176 02:09:52,718 --> 02:09:55,154 [Beth] Well, what's really interesting in this moment 2177 02:09:55,220 --> 02:09:57,022 as this is supposed to be Cole's home turf. 2178 02:09:57,089 --> 02:09:57,990 [Nigel] Submission attempt. 2179 02:09:58,056 --> 02:10:00,793 Submission attempt here, a version of the Indian deathlock. 2180 02:10:02,027 --> 02:10:05,097 [Beth] A classic old school wrestling match is supposed to be Cole's advantage, 2181 02:10:05,164 --> 02:10:07,799 but it's looking like Gargano has got the advantage in this moment. 2182 02:10:07,866 --> 02:10:09,868 -[Nigel] Well, he created that advantage. -[Mauro] Well, it's traditional rules 2183 02:10:09,935 --> 02:10:12,871 in this first fall, so Cole has to-- 2184 02:10:12,938 --> 02:10:16,108 When he goes for the rope, Gargano had to break the hold again. 2185 02:10:16,175 --> 02:10:17,576 One, two, three, four… 2186 02:10:18,510 -->
