00:00:03,169 --> 00:00:10,143
[intro music]

2
00:00:24,057 --> 00:00:25,825
[Narrator] Under banners
of black and gold,

3
00:00:26,059 --> 00:00:28,762
these ropes, this campus

4
00:00:29,696 --> 00:00:30,764
is our battlefield.

5
00:00:31,364 --> 00:00:33,566
We have shown the world that united…

6
00:00:33,633 --> 00:00:39,039
We are NXT.

7
00:00:39,906 --> 00:00:41,608
[Narrator] But on the home front…

8
00:00:41,674 --> 00:00:44,544
[Announcer] Bedlam, pandemonium, chaos.

9
00:00:44,778 --> 00:00:46,846
[Narrator] One truth remain certain,

10
00:00:46,913 --> 00:00:49,949
that war is inevitable.

11
00:00:50,283 --> 00:00:52,719
I've got a very simple solution for this,

12
00:00:54,020 --> 00:00:55,588
wargames.

13
00:00:55,655 --> 00:00:59,159
[Crowd cheering]

14
00:00:59,926 --> 00:01:02,429
[music]

15
00:01:02,495 --> 00:01:05,565
[bearded fighter] Goldie, you're gonna
have to wait.

16
00:01:05,632 --> 00:01:07,801
Daddy is going to war.

17
00:01:07,867 --> 00:01:14,674
[music]

18
00:01:19,379 --> 00:01:20,513
I built this place.

19
00:01:22,582 --> 00:01:23,783
[announcer] Oh, my god!

20
00:01:24,417 --> 00:01:27,554
And when I was gone,
a bunch of little boys moved in.

21
00:01:27,620 --> 00:01:31,091
[Crowd cheering]

22
00:01:31,157 --> 00:01:33,193
I want the man that hurt Johnny.

23
00:01:34,894 --> 00:01:37,397
That's the man that deserves
the beating from me.

24
00:01:38,531 --> 00:01:41,601
[announcer] It's gonna be an incredible
triple threat matchup.

25
00:01:41,668 --> 00:01:48,174
[music]

26
00:01:48,241 --> 00:01:50,710
The winner will face the very best in NXT.

27
00:01:51,644 --> 00:01:56,983
[music]

28
00:01:57,250 --> 00:01:59,385
[KLR] The first-ever all women's
wargames match,

29
00:02:00,053 --> 00:02:01,187
that's a moment.

30
00:02:01,254 --> 00:02:02,355
[KLR] We hold the keys.

31
00:02:02,422 --> 00:02:05,024
Lock the cage.

32
00:02:08,962 --> 00:02:11,598
[narrator] Tonight, sacrifice meets
opportunity.

33
00:02:13,466 --> 00:02:16,402
Destiny promises to rewrite our history.

34
00:02:16,970 --> 00:02:20,874
Now, let the wargames begin.

35
00:02:25,111 --> 00:02:28,314
[music]

36
00:02:29,916 --> 00:02:36,456
[Narrator] And now, Mattel presents
NXT takeover, wargames.

37
00:02:36,523 --> 00:02:40,994
[music]

38
00:02:41,060 --> 00:02:44,497
[Mauro] On a historic WWE Survivor
Series Weekend,

39
00:02:44,564 --> 00:02:47,267
it's a brutal day in the NXT neighborhood,

40
00:02:47,333 --> 00:02:50,436
as scary as the vintage monsters
of the midway.

41
00:02:50,503 --> 00:02:55,575
NXT takeover Chicago features
two wargames matches,

42
00:02:55,642 --> 00:02:59,179
a frightening NXT first.

43
00:03:01,714 --> 00:03:04,284
Hello, there. Mauro Ranallo
along with Nigel McGuinness

44
00:03:04,350 --> 00:03:05,218
and Beth Phoenix.

45
00:03:05,285 --> 00:03:09,522
And despite baby Yoda means warming hearts
everywhere this week,

46
00:03:09,589 --> 00:03:11,791
tonight it's not for the faint of heart,

47
00:03:11,858 --> 00:03:15,128
and you know Dakota Kai's heart
is racing like Daytona

48
00:03:15,195 --> 00:03:16,896
because at the last minute,

49
00:03:16,963 --> 00:03:19,732
she's been conscripted to join team Ripley

50
00:03:19,799 --> 00:03:21,534
after Mia Yim was injured.

51
00:03:21,601 --> 00:03:23,169
You know, Mauro, you mentioned heart,

52
00:03:23,236 --> 00:03:25,672
the NXT locker room,
they've been hustling,

53
00:03:25,738 --> 00:03:27,540
grinding across all three brands

54
00:03:27,607 --> 00:03:29,609
and that's testament to the history

55
00:03:29,676 --> 00:03:31,010
that we're gonna see here tonight.

56
00:03:31,077 --> 00:03:33,346
That's right.
History will happen here tonight

57
00:03:33,413 --> 00:03:36,649
as I look up there,
at that ominous structure there.

58
00:03:36,716 --> 00:03:38,885
One can only imagine
what brutality we're gonna see.

59
00:03:38,952 --> 00:03:40,520
With that in mind, let's head you now

60
00:03:40,587 --> 00:03:44,157
to our Spanish announce team,
Carlos Cabrera and Marcello Rodriguez.

61
00:03:44,224 --> 00:03:50,763
[speaking in Spanish]

62
00:03:50,830 --> 00:03:53,866
[speaking in Spanish]

63
00:04:16,089 --> 00:04:18,391
[Mauro] Like Chuck Dean said,

64
00:04:18,458 --> 00:04:21,427
Welcome to the terrordome.

65
00:04:21,494 --> 00:04:27,300
Welcome to the first ever
women's wargames match.

66
00:04:27,367 --> 00:04:31,604
And these eight distaff warriors
better be more durable

67
00:04:31,671 --> 00:04:38,645
than Tesla armor glass if they hope
to pass NXT's most destructive test.

68
00:04:42,448 --> 00:04:43,916
[bell ringing]

69
00:04:43,983 --> 00:04:50,523
[female announcer] Ladies and gentlemen,
welcome to wargames.

70
00:04:51,124 --> 00:04:53,559
[Crowd cheering]

71
00:04:53,626 --> 00:04:56,996
The rules of the match are as follows.

72
00:04:57,063 --> 00:05:00,266
Two teams will be contained
in separate cages

73
00:05:00,333 --> 00:05:03,836
with one member of each
team starting the match.

74
00:05:03,903 --> 00:05:05,004
After five minutes,

75
00:05:05,071 --> 00:05:09,876
a member from team Baszler
will be released to enter the match.

76
00:05:10,376 --> 00:05:14,213
After a three-minute period,
alternating members from each team

77
00:05:14,280 --> 00:05:19,285
will enter the match until
all competitors are inside the cage.

78
00:05:19,352 --> 00:05:21,688
Once all competitors have entered,

79
00:05:21,754 --> 00:05:25,158
Wargames officially begins.

80
00:05:26,492 --> 00:05:31,798
Escape or leave the cage,
you forfeit the match for your team.

81
00:05:32,131 --> 00:05:36,502
The only way to win the match
is by pinfall or submission.

82
00:05:37,070 --> 00:05:44,043
And now, let the wargames begin.

83
00:05:44,243 --> 00:05:47,513
[Crowd cheering]

84
00:05:47,580 --> 00:05:54,554
[music]

85
00:05:56,356 --> 00:06:00,760
[female announcer] Introducing first from
Adelaide, South Australia,

86
00:06:01,394 --> 00:06:05,531
Rhea Ripley.

87
00:06:16,909 --> 00:06:18,945
[Mauro] The team captain, Rhea Ripley,

88
00:06:19,011 --> 00:06:21,881
the inaugural NXT UK women's champion

89
00:06:21,948 --> 00:06:25,852
who's been ripping it up
across all three brands.

90
00:06:25,918 --> 00:06:32,625
[Crowd cheering]

91
00:06:32,692 --> 00:06:38,531
[music]

92
00:06:38,598 --> 00:06:41,000
[female announcer] From Knoxville,
Tennessee,

93
00:06:41,367 --> 00:06:45,505
Bianca Belair.

94
00:06:45,571 --> 00:06:47,740
[Crowd cheering]

95
00:06:47,807 --> 00:06:49,709
[Beth] Talk about breakout moments,

96
00:06:49,776 --> 00:06:53,312
tonight is the night
for Bianca Belair to shine

97
00:06:53,379 --> 00:06:54,981
and show what she's got.

98
00:06:56,716 --> 00:07:02,922
[Mauro] The EST of NXT wants to prove
she is 100% that Belair.

99
00:07:03,589 --> 00:07:05,424
[music]

100
00:07:09,829 --> 00:07:12,899
[Crowd cheering]

101
00:07:16,903 --> 00:07:21,774
[female announcer] From Anaheim,
California, Candice LeRae.

102
00:07:22,608 --> 00:07:25,344
[Nigel] I wish they all
could be Californian.

103
00:07:26,245 --> 00:07:30,216
Candice LeRae here,
the likable, amiable competitor,

104
00:07:30,283 --> 00:07:32,418
but once that bell rings,

105
00:07:32,485 --> 00:07:34,387
she's as mean as the rest of them.

106
00:07:35,221 --> 00:07:37,089
[Mauro] She tweeted
that something tells her

107
00:07:37,156 --> 00:07:39,826
these chicks don't know
what they're dealing with.

108
00:07:39,892 --> 00:07:41,494
That's a quote, by the way.

109
00:07:42,695 --> 00:07:45,932
[music]

110
00:07:45,998 --> 00:07:48,100
[female announcer] From Johnston,
Scotland,

111
00:07:48,167 --> 00:07:51,737
she is the NXT UK women's champion,

112
00:07:51,804 --> 00:07:55,808
Kay Lee Ray.

113
00:07:55,875 --> 00:07:59,378
[Beth] A surprise pick from
Shayna Baszler, Kay Lee Rae,

114
00:07:59,445 --> 00:08:02,315
our NXT women's champion, UK champion,

115
00:08:02,381 --> 00:08:04,517
an opportunistic ace in the whole.

116
00:08:04,584 --> 00:08:07,720
She will be incredibly valuable
to team Baszler.

117
00:08:07,787 --> 00:08:09,856
[Nigel] Talking of opportunity,
she created her own

118
00:08:09,922 --> 00:08:14,660
by securing the advantage
for team Baszler in this matchup.

119
00:08:14,727 --> 00:08:16,629
[music]

120
00:08:16,696 --> 00:08:17,530
[Crowd cheering]

121
00:08:17,597 --> 00:08:22,335
[female announcer] From Wales,
United Kingdom, Tegan Nox.

122
00:08:22,401 --> 00:08:27,607
[Mauro] Io Shirai who ended up beating Mia
Yim to win the advantage for team Baszler.

123
00:08:27,673 --> 00:08:29,809
Of course, Yim has now
been taken out of the match.

124
00:08:29,876 --> 00:08:33,112
Tegan Nox's best friend, Dakota Kai,

125
00:08:33,179 --> 00:08:35,815
has been drafted at the last minute.

126
00:08:35,882 --> 00:08:39,051
Nox, of course, overcoming
so many obstacles

127
00:08:39,118 --> 00:08:40,353
to be here tonight.

128
00:08:41,187 --> 00:08:43,523
[Music]

129
00:08:53,566 --> 00:08:58,471
[female announcer] From Tokyo, Japan,
Io Shirai.

130
00:08:58,538 --> 00:09:01,908
[Mauro] And like Optimus,
Shirai has transformed.

131
00:09:01,974 --> 00:09:03,943
Shirai is still an in-ring genius

132
00:09:04,010 --> 00:09:08,915
but her sky is now a sinister graze
shrouding her once sunny disposition

133
00:09:08,981 --> 00:09:11,250
in complete darkness.

134
00:09:13,052 --> 00:09:15,221
[Nigel] It was Shirai who descended
into darkness

135
00:09:15,288 --> 00:09:18,357
after turning on her former friend
Candice LeRae.

136
00:09:18,424 --> 00:09:22,295
No doubt LeRae
gonna harvest some resentment

137
00:09:22,361 --> 00:09:24,697
she'd like to take out
in this wargames match.

138
00:09:30,336 --> 00:09:34,440
[music]

139
00:09:40,246 --> 00:09:44,584
[female announcer] From Auckland,
New Zealand, Dakota Kai.

140
00:09:44,650 --> 00:09:48,421
[Beth] Dakota Kai getting
an opportunity of a lifetime.

141
00:09:48,487 --> 00:09:53,693
She's finally in the position
that she wanted to be in so badly.

142
00:09:53,759 --> 00:09:57,830
Can Kai turn it around and help
lead her team to victory?

143
00:09:58,698 --> 00:10:00,700
[Nigel] Well, Kai better prove herself.

144
00:10:00,766 --> 00:10:02,401
Tonight is her second opportunity.

145
00:10:02,468 --> 00:10:05,137
She had a match against Baszler,
came up short.

146
00:10:05,204 --> 00:10:07,139
How will she do in the second attempt?

147
00:10:07,206 --> 00:10:08,774
[music]

148
00:10:08,841 --> 00:10:10,843
[Crowd cheering]

149
00:10:15,181 --> 00:10:18,084
[female announcer] And from Sioux Falls,
South Dakota,

150
00:10:18,150 --> 00:10:22,755
she is the NXT women's champion,

151
00:10:22,822 --> 00:10:26,959
Shayna Baszler.

152
00:10:27,026 --> 00:10:29,428
[Mauro] And the queen of spades
can't be thinking

153
00:10:29,495 --> 00:10:31,864
about raw women's champion Becky Lynch

154
00:10:31,931 --> 00:10:34,900
or smackdown women's champion
Bayley at survivor series.

155
00:10:34,967 --> 00:10:37,236
She needs to survive tonight.

156
00:10:37,303 --> 00:10:40,039
She needs to lead her squad to victory

157
00:10:40,106 --> 00:10:42,908
in this historic Wargames match.

158
00:10:42,975 --> 00:10:45,878
[Beth] And she's been doing
a great job thus far.

159
00:10:45,945 --> 00:10:48,214
She was been running
an inhuman schedule as champion,

160
00:10:48,280 --> 00:10:52,118
but continues to be the wrecking ball
of the women's division.

161
00:10:53,886 --> 00:10:59,025
[Nigel] An interesting strategy point
here, on which team, who starts first?

162
00:11:00,159 --> 00:11:03,429
[Mauro] We know that team Baszler
has the advantage.

163
00:11:04,230 --> 00:11:05,931
Oh, look at Io Shirai.

164
00:11:06,599 --> 00:11:08,034
[Nigel] No discussion there.

165
00:11:08,100 --> 00:11:11,971
Evidently, the genius of the sky
will take to the cage.

166
00:11:12,872 --> 00:11:15,574
[Mauro] Shirai is more often known
as the mistress of evil.

167
00:11:15,641 --> 00:11:18,044
She is ready to enter…

168
00:11:18,110 --> 00:11:19,011
[Nigel] Whoa!

169
00:11:19,078 --> 00:11:20,546
[Mauro] …this double cage of carnage.

170
00:11:20,613 --> 00:11:22,748
And look who is following her.

171
00:11:22,815 --> 00:11:25,584
[Beth] Familiar rivals right here.

172
00:11:26,085 --> 00:11:27,219
[Nigel] I hate to say I told so.

173
00:11:27,286 --> 00:11:30,056
As soon as Shirai elected
to be the first in the ring,

174
00:11:30,122 --> 00:11:32,892
there was no stopping Candice LeRae.

175
00:11:33,292 --> 00:11:37,229
[Crowd cheering]

176
00:11:39,131 --> 00:11:42,134
[Mauro] Best friends turned
the bitterest of enemies.

177
00:11:43,202 --> 00:11:46,706
Candice LeRae who came to Shirai's aid
following that cage match

178
00:11:46,772 --> 00:11:47,840
against Shayna Baszler,

179
00:11:47,907 --> 00:11:50,176
only to have Shirai turn against her.

180
00:11:50,242 --> 00:11:51,877
They tore down at takeover.

181
00:11:51,944 --> 00:11:55,915
They're getting ready to tear into
each other here at wargames.

182
00:11:56,449 --> 00:11:57,650
[Nigel] Oh, here we go!

183
00:11:58,551 --> 00:12:00,953
[Crowd cheering]

184
00:12:01,020 --> 00:12:03,255
Fists are flying and a whole lot landing

185
00:12:03,322 --> 00:12:06,225
as both competitors
really swinging for the fences.

186
00:12:06,292 --> 00:12:09,228
[Mauro] And the clock ticking down
from five minutes.

187
00:12:09,295 --> 00:12:11,630
Remember, at the end of five minutes,

188
00:12:11,697 --> 00:12:14,967
another member of team Baszler
will join the fray.

189
00:12:15,501 --> 00:12:17,737
After that, every three minutes,

190
00:12:17,803 --> 00:12:21,373
members of team Baszler
and team Ripley alternate.

191
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:26,445
Only until all eight women are
in the Wargame structure

192
00:12:26,512 --> 00:12:28,180
will the match officially begin.

193
00:12:28,247 --> 00:12:30,149
So no pin falls, no submissions,

194
00:12:30,216 --> 00:12:33,085
this is about beating
the hell out of each other.

195
00:12:33,152 --> 00:12:35,521
[Nigel] Io Shirai trying
to do exactly that,

196
00:12:35,588 --> 00:12:37,490
but Io Shirai evading…

197
00:12:37,556 --> 00:12:43,429
[Crowd screaming Io's name]

198
00:12:43,496 --> 00:12:46,298
[BEth] Nice power move by LeRae.

199
00:12:47,433 --> 00:12:51,203
Beating the hell out of each other
is absolutely is a strategy for this

200
00:12:51,270 --> 00:12:53,906
but also, you have to pace yourself.

201
00:12:53,973 --> 00:12:56,575
This type of match-up,
you have to be smart.

202
00:12:57,676 --> 00:13:00,045
[Mauro] Especially when the match
actually doesn't begin

203
00:13:00,112 --> 00:13:03,549
until all members of the teams
are in the double ring.

204
00:13:03,616 --> 00:13:07,219
And boy, talk about a malfunction
at the junction for LeRae,

205
00:13:07,286 --> 00:13:09,789
perfectly timed by Shirai.

206
00:13:09,855 --> 00:13:11,957
And here comes the genius of the sky

207
00:13:12,024 --> 00:13:14,693
with the tiger feint kick
to the back of LeRae.

208
00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:18,164
Her tribute to Rey Mysterio and his 619.

209
00:13:18,230 --> 00:13:20,599
[Beth] That real estate
in between the two rings.

210
00:13:20,666 --> 00:13:22,168
An unfamiliar territory…

211
00:13:22,234 --> 00:13:23,402
[Mauro] And another one!

212
00:13:26,372 --> 00:13:30,242
[Beth] Competitors not used to being
in that center space.

213
00:13:30,309 --> 00:13:31,443
[Crowd cheering]

214
00:13:36,148 --> 00:13:37,383
[Mauro] Oh!

215
00:13:37,449 --> 00:13:39,685
Double knees by Shirai,

216
00:13:39,752 --> 00:13:44,690
pasting LeRae against the structure
in between the two rings.

217
00:13:44,757 --> 00:13:46,992
No woman's land.

218
00:13:47,059 --> 00:13:49,228
It is not the TMZ, that's for sure.

219
00:13:52,097 --> 00:13:56,402
[Nigel] Io Shirai would do well to
miniaturize her action here holding on.

220
00:13:56,902 --> 00:13:58,037
Top rope.

221
00:13:58,103 --> 00:14:02,875
[Mauro] Wow, the agile, Io Shirai
with the missile dropkick

222
00:14:02,942 --> 00:14:06,879
on LeRae and the [indistinct].

223
00:14:08,180 --> 00:14:11,584
[Nigel] Shirai [indistinct].
This is too easy.

224
00:14:11,650 --> 00:14:15,554
[Beth] The balance that it requires
to walk across the ropes.

225
00:14:19,792 --> 00:14:22,061
You can hear the disdain there
from Io Shirai.

226
00:14:22,127 --> 00:14:24,663
These two competitors
truly hate each other.

227
00:14:26,832 --> 00:14:28,968
[Nigel] That clock starts
to tick down to which…

228
00:14:29,201 --> 00:14:30,936
Oh! Two minutes left.

229
00:14:31,003 --> 00:14:34,740
[Mauro] Dropkick into the corner
by Shirai on LeRae.

230
00:14:35,841 --> 00:14:38,777
[Nigel] Driving the boot
right into the chest.

231
00:14:39,511 --> 00:14:43,415
One wonders, who will
come in next for team Baszler.

232
00:14:44,149 --> 00:14:46,585
Do you put the strong,
do you put the champion, Baszler,

233
00:14:46,652 --> 00:14:49,755
in here to effectively try
and take LeRae out.

234
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:56,929
[Mauro] Shirai has LeRae's number,

235
00:14:56,996 --> 00:15:00,299
most recently defeating LeRae October 30th

236
00:15:00,666 --> 00:15:05,471
on USA and it's been all Io Shirai.

237
00:15:05,537 --> 00:15:08,774
[Beth] Lerae's face bouncing off
of the steel in between the two rings.

238
00:15:08,841 --> 00:15:11,610
You could see the look of concern
from team Ripley.

239
00:15:12,678 --> 00:15:16,515
[Mauro] And now it's Shirai looking
to use the cage like a cheese grater

240
00:15:16,582 --> 00:15:18,284
on the face of LeRae.

241
00:15:23,355 --> 00:15:25,891
[Nigel] This could get ugly pretty
quickly.

242
00:15:26,492 --> 00:15:29,128
Shirai has just had her way
for the majority

243
00:15:29,194 --> 00:15:31,730
of the first five minute period, thus far.

244
00:15:31,797 --> 00:15:34,266
I think… I think LeRae came in so angry,

245
00:15:34,333 --> 00:15:35,935
so much pent-up aggression.

246
00:15:36,602 --> 00:15:38,337
She just got caught.

247
00:15:39,038 --> 00:15:40,372
[Mauro] Oh!

248
00:15:40,806 --> 00:15:46,378
As the time winds down, who will be
the next member of team Baszler

249
00:15:46,445 --> 00:15:50,416
to join this first ever
women's Wargames match?

250
00:15:51,517 --> 00:15:53,552
[Beth] And herein lines the challenge
of preparing

251
00:15:53,619 --> 00:15:56,255
for a historic match-up as this,
the first ever.

252
00:15:56,322 --> 00:15:58,590
The women has never been
in a match up like this.

253
00:15:58,657 --> 00:16:01,660
How do you prepare for something
that you've never been in?

254
00:16:03,796 --> 00:16:07,599
[Nigel] And you look through the cage bars
of team Baszler.

255
00:16:11,036 --> 00:16:16,008
One of those competitors in there
must be preparing.

256
00:16:18,243 --> 00:16:21,213
Well, the tore from the neck now

257
00:16:22,915 --> 00:16:27,052
and Candace LeRae in a very bad place.

258
00:16:27,519 --> 00:16:30,322
[Beth] Shirai trying to keep LeRae
center in the ring.

259
00:16:30,389 --> 00:16:32,725
If she could keep her down, on her back,

260
00:16:32,791 --> 00:16:34,360
the next member of team Baszler

261
00:16:34,426 --> 00:16:37,129
could truly get Candace
into some deep trouble.

262
00:16:37,196 --> 00:16:38,330
[Nigel] Here we go.

263
00:16:39,064 --> 00:16:43,936
[Crowd] Six, five, four, three, two, one.

264
00:16:46,271 --> 00:16:48,707
[Mauro] And as Shirai
gets driven into the corner.

265
00:16:48,774 --> 00:16:50,242
Who is it?

266
00:16:50,309 --> 00:16:51,410
[Nigel] It's Belair.

267
00:16:51,477 --> 00:16:53,912
[Mauro] And it's Bianca Belair,
the EST of NXT,

268
00:16:53,979 --> 00:16:56,949
who's had issues
with both these superstars

269
00:16:57,016 --> 00:17:00,853
but putting her problems aside
to assist Io Shirai

270
00:17:00,919 --> 00:17:03,155
as a member of team Baszler.

271
00:17:03,222 --> 00:17:08,861
And the EST of NXT immediately
going on the attack on Candace LeRae.

272
00:17:08,927 --> 00:17:11,130
[Beth] Candace is in deep, deep trouble.

273
00:17:11,196 --> 00:17:14,466
[Mauro] Oh, standing shooting star
press by Belair

274
00:17:14,533 --> 00:17:17,269
showing off her hyper athleticism early.

275
00:17:19,304 --> 00:17:20,939
[Nigel] And the fresh Princess Belair

276
00:17:21,006 --> 00:17:24,276
who was known in college
as a once in a decade athlete.

277
00:17:24,343 --> 00:17:25,277
[Beth] Wow!

278
00:17:25,344 --> 00:17:26,979
[Nigel] Now giving you an example why.

279
00:17:27,046 --> 00:17:29,381
[Mauro] Oh, beautiful reverse rana there
by LeRae.

280
00:17:29,815 --> 00:17:32,684
Buying a couple of moments
of rest, but only that

281
00:17:32,751 --> 00:17:34,887
as she has to fend off Io Shirai.

282
00:17:34,953 --> 00:17:39,491
This is what Io Shirai did against Mia Yim
in that ladder match,

283
00:17:39,558 --> 00:17:42,261
getting this ever important advantage
but LeRae…

284
00:17:42,327 --> 00:17:43,495
[Beth] Here we go!

285
00:17:43,562 --> 00:17:45,564
Turning the tables on Belair and Shirai.

286
00:17:46,632 --> 00:17:50,335
[Nigel] Well done Candace LeRae
for staying alive in this match.

287
00:17:50,402 --> 00:17:52,971
Incredible. Who would have thought?

288
00:17:53,038 --> 00:17:54,673
Once it was two on one.

289
00:17:54,740 --> 00:17:56,141
[Mauro] Oh!

290
00:17:56,208 --> 00:17:59,378
Oh, what a ferocious forearm
by Belair on Candace LeRae.

291
00:17:59,445 --> 00:18:00,712
[Beth] Oh, don't speak too soon.

292
00:18:00,779 --> 00:18:02,681
The power of Bianca Belair.

293
00:18:02,748 --> 00:18:05,284
[Mauro] Oh, what a power bomb as Belair…

294
00:18:05,350 --> 00:18:06,218
[Beth] Oh, my God!

295
00:18:06,285 --> 00:18:08,353
[Mauro] …continues to [indistinct]
Candace LeRae.

296
00:18:08,987 --> 00:18:11,924
And this is where the advantage
plays a [indistinct]

297
00:18:11,990 --> 00:18:12,925
[Beth] Oh!

298
00:18:12,991 --> 00:18:13,826
Oh!

299
00:18:13,892 --> 00:18:16,528
[Mauro] As LeRae gets launched
into the cage.

300
00:18:16,595 --> 00:18:18,564
[Crowd cheering]

301
00:18:25,704 --> 00:18:30,709
[Mauro] The EST of NXT is lit in Chicago,

302
00:18:30,776 --> 00:18:34,746
showcasing her incredible strength
and athleticism.

303
00:18:34,813 --> 00:18:40,352
And Shirai and Belair now making
LeRae pay, pay, pay.

304
00:18:40,419 --> 00:18:42,287
[Nigel] I mean, to all intents
and purposes,

305
00:18:42,354 --> 00:18:44,756
Candace LeRae
is pretty much done for here,

306
00:18:44,823 --> 00:18:47,659
I mean, here we're seeing
the perfect example

307
00:18:47,726 --> 00:18:49,795
of the order of entry advantage.

308
00:18:52,397 --> 00:18:54,099
Nothing LeRae can do.

309
00:18:54,166 --> 00:18:55,300
[Beth] Oh, no!

310
00:18:55,367 --> 00:18:59,271
[Mauro] Full head of steam by Io Shirai
continues to pick momentum,

311
00:18:59,338 --> 00:19:03,342
7000 rpm crashing into Candace Lerae.

312
00:19:03,408 --> 00:19:05,844
[Tegan] Let's do this.
Show them why you're captain.

313
00:19:05,911 --> 00:19:09,882
[Nigel] This is why Io Shirai winning
the ladder match for the advantage

314
00:19:09,948 --> 00:19:11,617
was so important.

315
00:19:11,683 --> 00:19:13,552
[Beth] Nigel, well, I would agree.

316
00:19:13,619 --> 00:19:15,687
LeRae is in deep, deep trouble.

317
00:19:15,754 --> 00:19:17,556
I would not count out Candace.

318
00:19:17,623 --> 00:19:21,460
[Mauro] And of course,
we are monitoring the situation

319
00:19:21,527 --> 00:19:24,796
involving Mia Yim who gave everything
in that ladder match

320
00:19:24,863 --> 00:19:28,066
to give team Ripley the advantage
before she lost.

321
00:19:28,133 --> 00:19:31,069
And now, tonight, was attacked backstage,

322
00:19:31,136 --> 00:19:33,939
sent to a medical facility
in an ambulance.

323
00:19:34,006 --> 00:19:37,309
Dakota Kai took her place
at the last second.

324
00:19:37,376 --> 00:19:40,212
And now it's gonna be
a member of team Ripley

325
00:19:40,279 --> 00:19:42,748
evening things up momentarily

326
00:19:42,814 --> 00:19:45,317
and it's the team captain, the Nightmare.

327
00:19:46,451 --> 00:19:49,655
And immediately Ripley
is looking for [indistinct]

328
00:19:50,222 --> 00:19:52,224
[Beth] Ripley is on [indistinct]

329
00:19:53,225 --> 00:19:56,795
[Mauro] Coming off a huge win last night
on Smackdown.

330
00:19:57,629 --> 00:19:59,131
[Crowd cheering]

331
00:20:00,165 --> 00:20:03,035
Where she defeated Charlotte Flair
and Sasha Banks

332
00:20:03,101 --> 00:20:07,072
in a triple threat match, but tonight,
it's about Wargames.

333
00:20:07,139 --> 00:20:10,809
And Ripley is bringing
some truculent toys.

334
00:20:11,877 --> 00:20:16,415
[Nigel] Oh, and Ripley loves to fight
with anything she can get her hands on.

335
00:20:16,481 --> 00:20:17,316
[Mauro] Believe it.

336
00:20:17,382 --> 00:20:20,686
[Beth] Ripley's been champing
at the bit to get in there.

337
00:20:21,019 --> 00:20:23,622
[Mauro] It's moving day for Rhea Ripley.

338
00:20:28,060 --> 00:20:31,663
She knows that Candace LeRae
has been the on the brunt

339
00:20:31,730 --> 00:20:33,999
of a brutal attack for over five minutes.

340
00:20:34,066 --> 00:20:36,201
[Beth] What else is under that ring?

341
00:20:37,803 --> 00:20:40,872
[Mauro] I believe there might in fact
be a kitchen sink.

342
00:20:42,274 --> 00:20:44,076
[Beth] More chairs.

343
00:20:44,810 --> 00:20:49,514
[Crowd cheering]

344
00:20:50,582 --> 00:20:53,852
[Mauro] Well, the crowd here in Chicago
wanting some tables.

345
00:20:54,620 --> 00:20:59,524
They'll have to settle for garbage cans,
garbage can lids,

346
00:20:59,591 --> 00:21:02,561
kendo sticks and of course, Rhea Ripley.

347
00:21:02,628 --> 00:21:04,663
[Beth] I think that can cause
damage enough.

348
00:21:04,730 --> 00:21:06,264
[Mauro] Oh, wow!

349
00:21:06,932 --> 00:21:08,467
Oh, my!

350
00:21:10,469 --> 00:21:13,071
[Beth] The body of Bianca Belair.

351
00:21:15,507 --> 00:21:16,775
Take a look at this.

352
00:21:17,175 --> 00:21:18,277
Oh!

353
00:21:18,343 --> 00:21:20,879
Right across the ribs and midsection.

354
00:21:20,946 --> 00:21:23,815
Bianca Belair is writhing in pain.

355
00:21:23,882 --> 00:21:26,284
[Mauro] And Bianca Belair has
a chronic rib condition

356
00:21:26,351 --> 00:21:27,552
that cost her crossfit career.

357
00:21:27,619 --> 00:21:29,921
Almost derailed the sports
entertainment career.

358
00:21:29,988 --> 00:21:32,691
She's had to overcome
and of course endure.

359
00:21:32,758 --> 00:21:36,895
And boy, she is being
put on her heels quickly here

360
00:21:36,962 --> 00:21:40,932
by Rhea Ripley
as Candace LeRae now joins her partner.

361
00:21:41,833 --> 00:21:48,340
[Crowd cheering]

362
00:21:48,407 --> 00:21:51,510
[Nigel] An ominous chant erupting
here in Chicago.

363
00:21:51,576 --> 00:21:54,279
[Mauro] And already a nightmare
on Wargames street

364
00:21:54,346 --> 00:21:57,316
for the EST of NXT, Bianca Belair.

365
00:21:59,151 --> 00:22:01,653
Oh, Io Shirai says, no, none of that.

366
00:22:01,720 --> 00:22:03,288
Two-on-two.

367
00:22:05,757 --> 00:22:07,826
[Beth] You've got to scramble here
for dominance.

368
00:22:08,794 --> 00:22:13,498
[Mauro] And Shirai and Belair are getting
the better of Ripley and LeRae

369
00:22:13,565 --> 00:22:15,367
as the clock ticks down.

370
00:22:16,601 --> 00:22:21,440
Once again, giving team Baszler
the advantage numbers-wise.

371
00:22:25,243 --> 00:22:28,280
[Nigel] Yes, it is the scary
queen of Scots,

372
00:22:28,347 --> 00:22:30,649
the NXT UK women's champion.

373
00:22:32,351 --> 00:22:35,721
[Mauro] Kay Lee Ray, no stranger
to a match involving weapons,

374
00:22:35,787 --> 00:22:37,556
and immediately she goes under the ring

375
00:22:37,622 --> 00:22:41,660
to see what she can retrieve,
a couple of chairs.

376
00:22:41,727 --> 00:22:43,528
[Indistinct]

377
00:22:43,595 --> 00:22:45,263
[Nigel] Kay Lee Ray of the [indistinct].

378
00:22:45,330 --> 00:22:48,934
With no concern for her own well-being.

379
00:22:49,000 --> 00:22:52,270
We might get an example of it right here.

380
00:22:54,005 --> 00:22:58,210
[Mauro] Oh, and Kay Lee Ray was teasing
grabbing a table

381
00:22:58,276 --> 00:23:01,046
much to the displeasure
of the Chicago crowd.

382
00:23:01,113 --> 00:23:02,147
She [indistinct]

383
00:23:02,214 --> 00:23:05,016
Instead, she stabs Ripley
and LeRae with the chair.

384
00:23:05,083 --> 00:23:06,017
[Indistinct]

385
00:23:06,084 --> 00:23:08,019
LeRae across the back.

386
00:23:09,354 --> 00:23:11,957
[Nigel] And again, Kay Lee Ray…

387
00:23:12,023 --> 00:23:15,394
Tornado DDT onto the chair.

388
00:23:15,961 --> 00:23:19,931
[Nigel] A difference maker
in this burgeoning match.

389
00:23:19,998 --> 00:23:24,202
[Mauro] Kay Lee Ray crushing
her competition.

390
00:23:24,269 --> 00:23:27,606
[Nigel] It was Ray who pushed Yim
from the ladder

391
00:23:27,672 --> 00:23:30,542
in the match to get
the Wargames advantage.

392
00:23:31,743 --> 00:23:34,713
That allowed Io Shirai
to retrieve the briefcase.

393
00:23:35,914 --> 00:23:37,916
[Beth] Team Baszler having a little
pow wow.

394
00:23:38,417 --> 00:23:41,520
[Mauro] Oh, wow,
Belair climbing the turnbuckle.

395
00:23:41,586 --> 00:23:48,093
Kay Lee Ray positioning Rhea Ripley,
but Candice LeRae won't have any of it.

396
00:23:48,160 --> 00:23:51,730
Trying to keep Belair
from a high-risk move

397
00:23:51,797 --> 00:23:55,333
and you know Candice LeRae
is all about high-risk.

398
00:23:56,635 --> 00:23:57,836
[Nigel] Oh, Shirai's gonna help her…

399
00:23:57,903 --> 00:23:59,638
[Mauro] Oh, no!

400
00:23:59,704 --> 00:24:03,175
Double axe handle by Shirai,
leaping onto the lower back of Ripley.

401
00:24:05,243 --> 00:24:08,380
[Nigel] But again, the advantage,
the numbers advantage,

402
00:24:08,447 --> 00:24:09,581
helping team Bazler.

403
00:24:09,648 --> 00:24:11,149
[crowd boos]

404
00:24:13,552 --> 00:24:16,321
[Nigel] Kay Lee ray knew
that Candice LeRae is gonna try

405
00:24:16,388 --> 00:24:19,191
to superplex Bianca Belair.

406
00:24:19,257 --> 00:24:21,726
Went to protect her in case
she had the opportunity.

407
00:24:21,793 --> 00:24:24,763
[Mauro] Smart strategy by Ray, as now…

408
00:24:25,263 --> 00:24:27,265
[Beth] Ray's in big trouble here.

409
00:24:27,332 --> 00:24:29,267
[Mauro] Everyone stacked in that corner.

410
00:24:29,334 --> 00:24:31,136
Here comes Rhea Ripley.

411
00:24:31,203 --> 00:24:32,037
[Nigel] Wait a second.

412
00:24:32,103 --> 00:24:32,938
[Beth] Oh, my god!

413
00:24:33,004 --> 00:24:34,372
[Nigel] Chairs are still there.

414
00:24:34,439 --> 00:24:37,576
[Mauro] Mamma Mia!

415
00:24:38,276 --> 00:24:44,850
Tower of doom, as Ripley lays waste
to everyone in the match including…

416
00:24:44,916 --> 00:24:47,686
except for Bianca Belair.

417
00:24:47,752 --> 00:24:48,920
[Nigel] Who will fly.

418
00:24:48,987 --> 00:24:50,522
[Mauro] 450.

419
00:24:50,956 --> 00:24:53,225
Belair pulling out all the stops early.

420
00:24:54,226 --> 00:24:58,897
And to think that this match
isn't officially even started, Beth.

421
00:24:58,964 --> 00:25:00,365
[Beth] This is unbelievable.

422
00:25:00,432 --> 00:25:02,667
I am a part of prior generations of women

423
00:25:02,734 --> 00:25:04,703
who wanted to get to this point.

424
00:25:05,203 --> 00:25:06,371
I have goose bumps.

425
00:25:06,438 --> 00:25:11,877
[Crowd] Six, five, four, three, two, one.

426
00:25:12,744 --> 00:25:15,080
[Nigel] Time to even the scores.
Who's it gonna be?

427
00:25:17,883 --> 00:25:20,018
[Mauro] And here comes Dakota Kai.

428
00:25:20,085 --> 00:25:23,688
Remember, she didn't… what the hell?

429
00:25:23,755 --> 00:25:25,090
[Beth] Oh, my god.

430
00:25:25,156 --> 00:25:28,693
[Mauro] Dakota Kai. Are you kidding me?

431
00:25:32,964 --> 00:25:35,800
Dakota Kai was given an opportunity.

432
00:25:36,134 --> 00:25:39,571
Dakota Kai is attacking her best friend.

433
00:25:43,475 --> 00:25:48,480
For the love of god, what is…
what the hell has happened to Dakota Kai?

434
00:25:48,547 --> 00:25:52,250
[Crowd cheering]

435
00:25:53,652 --> 00:25:54,553
[Beth] Oh!

436
00:26:03,762 --> 00:26:06,564
[Meuro] Shayna Baszler,
smiling like a Cheshire cat,

437
00:26:06,631 --> 00:26:10,235
as Dakota Kai laying waste
to her best friend.

438
00:26:10,302 --> 00:26:14,339
Oh, my god, the [indistinct].

439
00:26:14,406 --> 00:26:17,309
Come on, somebody stop this massacre.

440
00:26:17,375 --> 00:26:20,946
[Woman cries in pain]

441
00:26:21,012 --> 00:26:24,316
[Referee] Dakota, that's enough. Come on.

442
00:26:24,549 --> 00:26:26,818
[Nigel] And she's taking the brace
off the [indistinct]

443
00:26:26,885 --> 00:26:27,852
[Beth] Oh, my god.

444
00:26:29,020 --> 00:26:31,389
[Nigel] That's where [indistinct]
after this.

445
00:26:34,426 --> 00:26:35,961
[Beth] This is unbelievable.

446
00:26:36,027 --> 00:26:40,565
Dakota Kai just attacked NXT
general manager, William Regal.

447
00:26:43,935 --> 00:26:46,838
[Beth] What the hell is happening
to Dakota Kai?

448
00:26:48,039 --> 00:26:52,377
[Mauro] Dakota Kai is completely unhinged.

449
00:26:52,444 --> 00:26:57,816
[Crowd chatter]

450
00:26:59,618 --> 00:27:00,852
[Nigel] And look at the face

451
00:27:00,919 --> 00:27:03,521
of the NXT women's champion,
Shayna Baszler.

452
00:27:03,588 --> 00:27:05,290
And then look at the face of Rhea Ripley.

453
00:27:05,357 --> 00:27:06,358
It says it all.

454
00:27:07,025 --> 00:27:08,593
[Mauro] And the look on the face of…

455
00:27:08,660 --> 00:27:10,595
Oh, my god, you've gotta be kidding me!

456
00:27:14,165 --> 00:27:17,135
[Beth] Kai is all over the bad knee
of Tegan Nox.

457
00:27:17,202 --> 00:27:19,170
[Nigel] We got to get some security
out here.

458
00:27:21,072 --> 00:27:23,575
Kai is like a banshee,
she won't be stopped.

459
00:27:23,641 --> 00:27:26,378
[Mauro] I mean, forget about Wargames,

460
00:27:26,444 --> 00:27:28,913
Tegan Nox's career may be in jeopardy.

461
00:27:28,980 --> 00:27:33,084
She, like Kai, has had
to overcome serious injuries

462
00:27:33,151 --> 00:27:34,619
to live her dream.

463
00:27:34,886 --> 00:27:39,591
And tonight, Dakota Kai is turning
Nox's dream and an entire team's dream

464
00:27:39,658 --> 00:27:41,493
into a nightmare.

465
00:27:41,559 --> 00:27:43,495
Stop it. Think about this.

466
00:27:43,995 --> 00:27:46,765
[Beth] I cannot believe
what we are seeing.

467
00:27:47,632 --> 00:27:50,835
[Nigel] Sam, you almost called Dakota Kai
the bottom of the barrel,

468
00:27:51,269 --> 00:27:53,304
after that happened, you disagree.

469
00:27:53,972 --> 00:27:57,809
[Mauro] I pride myself on being
as biased as one can be,

470
00:27:57,876 --> 00:28:00,512
but this is absolutely disgusting.

471
00:28:06,317 --> 00:28:10,321
And just like that, the entire
complexion of not only this match,

472
00:28:10,388 --> 00:28:12,290
but this arena, has changed.

473
00:28:12,357 --> 00:28:16,094
And now team Baszler,
like a pack of hyenas,

474
00:28:16,161 --> 00:28:18,430
looking to take advantage.

475
00:28:18,963 --> 00:28:21,499
[Beth] And Rhea Ripley has to feel
like she is to blame.

476
00:28:21,566 --> 00:28:23,401
She is the one that put Dakota Kai
on the team.

477
00:28:23,468 --> 00:28:26,705
[Mauro] You know that Tegan Nox
went to back for her as well

478
00:28:26,771 --> 00:28:31,376
and one wonders now,
will Tegan Nox be able to compete?

479
00:28:31,443 --> 00:28:34,145
The advantage continues
to get bigger and bigger

480
00:28:34,212 --> 00:28:35,380
[Crowd cheering]

481
00:28:35,447 --> 00:28:36,881
for team Baszler.

482
00:28:36,948 --> 00:28:39,451
[Beth] Nox has not gotten up
since the attack.

483
00:28:40,785 --> 00:28:43,254
[Nigel] It's four on two, what's going on?

484
00:28:48,293 --> 00:28:49,727
Oh, no, no.

485
00:28:49,794 --> 00:28:51,062
[Mauro] Shayna Baszler…

486
00:28:52,931 --> 00:28:54,699
[Nigel] She doesn't need to do a thing.

487
00:28:54,766 --> 00:28:56,234
Nox is out. Forget about it.

488
00:28:56,301 --> 00:28:57,869
[Mauro] Forget about the four on two.

489
00:28:57,936 --> 00:29:02,407
Shayna Baszler, right now,
making that slow walk to the cage,

490
00:29:02,474 --> 00:29:07,612
knowing full well that her team
has this match in hand.

491
00:29:07,679 --> 00:29:13,551
But let's not forget the disgusting
tactics of Dakota Kai,

492
00:29:14,085 --> 00:29:17,555
and what she has done to this match.

493
00:29:18,656 --> 00:29:19,891
[Nigel] I think this match is over.

494
00:29:19,958 --> 00:29:21,726
[Mauro] It hasn't even started.

495
00:29:21,793 --> 00:29:25,230
[Kay] Come on, Shayna.

496
00:29:27,265 --> 00:29:28,533
[Beth] This is just sickening.

497
00:29:28,600 --> 00:29:31,336
[Mauro] Beth, you are a WWE hall of famer.

498
00:29:31,402 --> 00:29:35,540
What are your thoughts as to
what you've just seen transpire?

499
00:29:35,607 --> 00:29:38,243
[Beth] This is not competition,
this is despicable, disgusting.

500
00:29:38,309 --> 00:29:39,144
[Mauro] Oh.

501
00:29:39,210 --> 00:29:40,044
[Beth] This should be…

502
00:29:40,111 --> 00:29:42,046
[Mauro] Team captains are colliding now,

503
00:29:42,113 --> 00:29:47,552
and here's Ray and Baszler…
Or Belair helping Baszler.

504
00:29:47,619 --> 00:29:49,854
[Nigel] Oh.

505
00:29:49,921 --> 00:29:52,257
[Mauro] Man, it does not look good
for Tegan Nox.

506
00:29:53,057 --> 00:29:56,261
It does not look good for team Ripley.

507
00:29:57,996 --> 00:30:01,466
On a night where we've
already seen Mia Yim get taken out,

508
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:05,837
Dakota Kai given another chance
to represent team Ripley.

509
00:30:10,008 --> 00:30:12,577
We have just been told by the officials,

510
00:30:12,644 --> 00:30:16,414
because Dakota
Kai has been taken out of the arena

511
00:30:16,481 --> 00:30:20,752
and because Tegan Nox
is medically unable to continue,

512
00:30:20,819 --> 00:30:24,722
this match has in fact,
now officially started.

513
00:30:24,989 --> 00:30:30,094
Wargames has begun,
four on two for team Baszler.

514
00:30:30,161 --> 00:30:31,496
Give me a break!

515
00:30:31,563 --> 00:30:32,430
[Beth] Oh!

516
00:30:32,497 --> 00:30:34,933
There's still some fight in Candice LeRae.

517
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:37,502
[Nigel] Well, it'll need to be
more than just some,

518
00:30:37,569 --> 00:30:39,103
it'll need to be a lot.

519
00:30:39,170 --> 00:30:40,805
It's four on two.

520
00:30:40,872 --> 00:30:43,942
Now pinfall or submissions are legal.

521
00:30:44,008 --> 00:30:46,511
[Mauro] That's the only way you can win,

522
00:30:46,578 --> 00:30:50,982
if you escape or leave the cage,
you forfeit the match for your team.

523
00:30:51,049 --> 00:30:52,383
So here we are.

524
00:30:52,450 --> 00:30:55,720
Odds are stacked against team Ripley.

525
00:30:55,787 --> 00:30:57,655
[Beth] Oh, Baszler's got handcuffs.

526
00:30:57,722 --> 00:30:59,090
[Mauro] Oh, what the hell?

527
00:30:59,157 --> 00:31:02,293
We saw Ripley overcome the odds
last night against Charlotte Flair

528
00:31:02,360 --> 00:31:06,631
and Sasha Banks, but this is
an entirely different kettle of fish.

529
00:31:06,698 --> 00:31:09,868
She's in there with a great
white shark in Shayna Baszler.

530
00:31:10,568 --> 00:31:13,438
[Nigel] And four on two wasn't enough,
now handcuffing.

531
00:31:13,504 --> 00:31:14,339
[Beth] Oh, look.

532
00:31:14,405 --> 00:31:16,241
[Mauro] It's gonna be four on one
if she handcuffs…

533
00:31:16,307 --> 00:31:17,876
Oh, LeRae to the rescue.

534
00:31:18,877 --> 00:31:22,614
[Beth] Handcuffing Ripley would
neutralize her and keep her to one side,

535
00:31:22,680 --> 00:31:25,049
giving team Baszler
an additional advantage.

536
00:31:26,851 --> 00:31:30,288
[Mauro] It would give them
a complete advantage.

537
00:31:31,923 --> 00:31:36,594
Ripley and LeRae,
in between the two rings,

538
00:31:36,661 --> 00:31:38,796
the double cage of carnage.

539
00:31:39,197 --> 00:31:41,666
Lerae and Ripley trying to give it
all they've got.

540
00:31:41,733 --> 00:31:44,002
[Beth] These women came here to fight.

541
00:31:44,535 --> 00:31:47,772
[Mauro] And that's exactly what they're
doing in the wind city.

542
00:31:47,839 --> 00:31:53,611
LeRae, using that garbage can lid
to maximum effect.

543
00:31:56,614 --> 00:31:59,417
[Nigel] Somehow, Candice LeRae
back on top here,

544
00:31:59,484 --> 00:32:03,521
but you got to think, as I mentioned,
you can only win by pinfall or submission.

545
00:32:03,588 --> 00:32:06,257
But when it's four on two,
you pin someone,

546
00:32:06,324 --> 00:32:09,627
there's gonna be someone else there
to break it up immediately.

547
00:32:09,694 --> 00:32:11,429
Same thing with a submission.

548
00:32:12,130 --> 00:32:16,100
You're gonna think it's
a valiant effort right now.

549
00:32:16,167 --> 00:32:18,770
[Mauro] Let's hope that LeRae
and Ripley, for their sake,

550
00:32:18,836 --> 00:32:20,471
read Sun Tzu's The Art of War

551
00:32:20,538 --> 00:32:23,041
because they're going
to have incorporate something.

552
00:32:23,274 --> 00:32:25,743
Ripley with the dropkick on Kay Lee Ray.

553
00:32:26,945 --> 00:32:28,179
[Beth] It's two on two right now.

554
00:32:28,246 --> 00:32:29,847
Baszler and Belair are down.

555
00:32:29,914 --> 00:32:31,015
[Mauro] Oh.

556
00:32:31,082 --> 00:32:32,250
[Nigel] Oh, no.

557
00:32:32,317 --> 00:32:33,351
[Mauro] And…oh, no.

558
00:32:33,418 --> 00:32:34,519
[Mauro] Ripley scouts the DDT,

559
00:32:34,585 --> 00:32:37,422
Ripley's strength picking up Kay Lee Ray.

560
00:32:37,488 --> 00:32:38,323
[Beth] Wow!

561
00:32:38,389 --> 00:32:42,193
[Mauro] And she got… Crashes Ray into
the cage, dropping her.

562
00:32:42,927 --> 00:32:45,496
[Beth] How strong is Rhea Ripley?

563
00:32:45,563 --> 00:32:49,067
[Mauro] She has to be stronger
than she has ever been

564
00:32:49,133 --> 00:32:53,237
in order to even give her team
a sliver of a chance.

565
00:32:53,604 --> 00:32:56,374
[Nigel] Such an awkward landing
for Kay Lee Ray there,

566
00:32:56,441 --> 00:32:59,210
being dragged down the cage.

567
00:32:59,911 --> 00:33:02,747
[Mauro] And obviously, in wargames,
there are no rules,

568
00:33:02,814 --> 00:33:07,919
but Ripley and LeRae, they now have to go
as low as team Baszler.

569
00:33:10,054 --> 00:33:13,458
[Beth] I would argue they have to do
whatever it takes at this point.

570
00:33:13,524 --> 00:33:15,893
[Nigel] Oh, Baszler looking for…
No, excuse me,

571
00:33:15,960 --> 00:33:18,563
Ripley looking for a submission on Shirai.

572
00:33:18,629 --> 00:33:20,131
[Beth] Oh, my God.

573
00:33:20,198 --> 00:33:23,968
[Mauro] Ripley looking for the remedy
of what ails her team.

574
00:33:24,035 --> 00:33:27,105
Four against two advantage,
team Baszler…

575
00:33:27,171 --> 00:33:28,239
[Nigel] Oh, wait a second.

576
00:33:28,306 --> 00:33:30,241
[Mauro] Baszler has LeRae in the
kirifuda clutch.

577
00:33:30,308 --> 00:33:32,744
[Nigel] Kay Lee Ray's [indistinct]

578
00:33:33,011 --> 00:33:35,880
Two submission holds at the same time.

579
00:33:36,981 --> 00:33:40,218
[Mauro] Ripley… Oh, LeRae,
chopping away at Baszler.

580
00:33:40,284 --> 00:33:41,219
[Beth] Oh.

581
00:33:41,285 --> 00:33:43,087
[Mauro] Oh, and there's Kay Lee Ray
breaking the grip,

582
00:33:43,154 --> 00:33:46,791
and there again, the numbers game
coming into play

583
00:33:46,858 --> 00:33:48,726
and aiding team Baszler.

584
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:49,794
[Beth] Oh.

585
00:33:49,861 --> 00:33:51,396
[Mauro] [indistinct] by LeRae.

586
00:33:51,462 --> 00:33:53,564
[Nigel] Onto the chair, the lower back.

587
00:33:53,631 --> 00:33:55,166
And here's-- By LeRae--

588
00:33:55,233 --> 00:33:59,070
[Mauro] On Baszler, goes for the cover,
trying to beat the odds.

589
00:33:59,137 --> 00:34:00,772
Oh. No.

590
00:34:02,707 --> 00:34:06,244
[Beth] The numbers game proving to be
such a factor in this matchup.

591
00:34:06,310 --> 00:34:09,213
How much punishment
can Candice LeRae take?

592
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:10,982
She's been in there from the beginning.

593
00:34:11,049 --> 00:34:14,786
[Mauro] Belair now showing off
her strength, military pressing--

594
00:34:14,852 --> 00:34:16,721
Candice LeRae.

595
00:34:16,788 --> 00:34:20,625
The trap star,
the uber athlete, launches--

596
00:34:20,691 --> 00:34:21,993
[Nigel] Oh, my god.

597
00:34:22,060 --> 00:34:24,495
[Mauro] LeRae into
her team captain, Rhea Ripley.

598
00:34:24,562 --> 00:34:25,930
[Nigel] That's superhuman strength.

599
00:34:26,764 --> 00:34:31,035
[Mauro] And oh, wow, Gory Bomb,
Kay Lee Ray has Candice LeRae--

600
00:34:31,102 --> 00:34:36,841
Gory Bomb, and both Ripley
and LeRae had been laid to waste.

601
00:34:36,908 --> 00:34:39,143
Shirai with the Shiraisault.

602
00:34:39,210 --> 00:34:40,878
This has to be it.

603
00:34:40,945 --> 00:34:43,514
And this-- Oh, no!

604
00:34:46,050 --> 00:34:48,653
[Nigel] Rhea Ripley
refusing to quit, but--

605
00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:49,620
[Mauro] Oh!

606
00:34:49,687 --> 00:34:54,926
[Nigel] You got to think, at a four to two
disadvantage, it's only a matter of time.

607
00:34:54,992 --> 00:34:58,963
[Mauro] Ripley fending--
Oh, and there's Bianca Belair.

608
00:34:59,030 --> 00:35:01,332
Beware the hair, the hair whip,

609
00:35:01,399 --> 00:35:03,267
leaving its marks on Ripley.

610
00:35:04,135 --> 00:35:06,571
Oh, and so is the kendo stick.

611
00:35:06,637 --> 00:35:11,209
Candice LeRae,
bringing the swing to Wargames.

612
00:35:11,275 --> 00:35:13,177
[Beth] There you go, Candice.

613
00:35:13,244 --> 00:35:15,246
[Nigel] Kendo stick beats hair.

614
00:35:16,147 --> 00:35:20,218
[Mauro] But Io Shirai
has the advantage on Candice LeRae.

615
00:35:20,284 --> 00:35:21,853
[crowd cheers]

616
00:35:21,919 --> 00:35:26,791
[Mauro] And now Shirai looking to
put away her former best friend,

617
00:35:27,358 --> 00:35:32,497
jumping up to the top turnbuckle,
Io Shirai to-- No!

618
00:35:32,563 --> 00:35:35,766
Are you ki-- Shirai is climbing the cage.

619
00:35:35,833 --> 00:35:37,435
[Beth] Oh, my god.

620
00:35:38,636 --> 00:35:42,874
[Mauro] The Genius of the Sky
is headed to the sky.

621
00:35:42,940 --> 00:35:44,308
[Beth] She took too much time.

622
00:35:45,343 --> 00:35:51,349
[Mauro] I'd take as much time as necessary
in a diabolical structure like this.

623
00:35:52,950 --> 00:35:56,120
[Nigel] Oh, Kay Lee Ray up there
as well-- Oh, my god, no.

624
00:35:56,187 --> 00:35:58,222
-[Mauro] A precarious position.
-[Nigel] No, no.

625
00:35:58,289 --> 00:36:00,091
[Mauro] Shirai on the top of the cage.

626
00:36:00,158 --> 00:36:03,794
-[Beth] Oh.
-[Mauro] Avalanche Poisonrana!

627
00:36:03,861 --> 00:36:04,996
[Beth] No way.

628
00:36:05,062 --> 00:36:09,433
Cover, and-- Oh, wow,
Belair just saved the day.

629
00:36:09,500 --> 00:36:12,637
An Avalanche Poisonrana.

630
00:36:12,703 --> 00:36:15,706
Talk about a desperate move by LeRae.

631
00:36:16,140 --> 00:36:17,308
[Nigel] Can [indistinct]?

632
00:36:17,375 --> 00:36:22,580
[crowd cheers]

633
00:36:22,647 --> 00:36:27,418
[Nigel] Just imagine the impact
from the top rope with [indistinct].

634
00:36:27,485 --> 00:36:32,223
If it wasn't for Bianca Belair
making the save somehow.

635
00:36:32,690 --> 00:36:38,362
[Mauro] Io Shirai ominously
laying on the top of the cage.

636
00:36:38,429 --> 00:36:41,699
Bianca Belair
now attacking Candice LeRae again.

637
00:36:41,766 --> 00:36:44,202
Remember four to two advantage

638
00:36:44,268 --> 00:36:47,471
for Team Baszler including Bianca Belair.

639
00:36:48,005 --> 00:36:50,174
Oh, but Lee Ray holding onto the hair.

640
00:36:51,442 --> 00:36:54,579
-[Beth] She's still good.
-[Mauro] Oh, my god! Io Shirai, no!

641
00:36:54,645 --> 00:36:59,050
No! No! [indistinct]

642
00:36:59,417 --> 00:37:01,018
Come on.

643
00:37:01,085 --> 00:37:07,158
[crowd cheers]

644
00:37:07,225 --> 00:37:11,596
[crowd] NXT! NXT! NXT!

645
00:37:11,662 --> 00:37:15,666
[Mauro] And to think
we are just getting started.

646
00:37:15,733 --> 00:37:19,136
This being
the inaugural women's Wargames match.

647
00:37:19,203 --> 00:37:22,406
The men's Wargames match still to come

648
00:37:22,473 --> 00:37:28,012
but this has left everyone battered
and left the crowd breathless.

649
00:37:28,079 --> 00:37:31,983
[crowd] Mamma mia! Mamma mia!

650
00:37:32,049 --> 00:37:35,519
[Beth] They maybe breathless
but every single person in this arena

651
00:37:35,586 --> 00:37:39,257
is on their feet through the effort
these women are putting forth.

652
00:37:39,323 --> 00:37:43,761
[Mauro] And Ripley making sure that
Shayna Baszler stays off her feet.

653
00:37:45,029 --> 00:37:48,366
[Nigel] Can you imagine if Ripley
and LeRae are able to pull this off?

654
00:37:49,900 --> 00:37:55,673
Unfathomable down four to two
but somehow Rhea Ripley.

655
00:37:56,374 --> 00:38:01,345
[Mauro] Every underdog has its day
and hopefully for these underdogs here.

656
00:38:01,412 --> 00:38:04,281
But they all [indistinct].

657
00:38:04,348 --> 00:38:06,317
Smash by Ripley!

658
00:38:06,384 --> 00:38:11,389
Now, the Kirifuda Clutch,
the Kirifuda Clutch by Baszler on Ripley.

659
00:38:11,756 --> 00:38:14,191
[Nigel] NXT [indistinct].

660
00:38:15,226 --> 00:38:18,696
Where is Candice LeRae? She is
the only person who can save this match.

661
00:38:18,763 --> 00:38:22,033
[Mauro] Remember Ripley stepped up to
Shayna Baszler, showed no fear.

662
00:38:22,099 --> 00:38:25,636
In fact gave Baszler
all she can handle in an NXT ring.

663
00:38:25,703 --> 00:38:28,673
[Beth] But Rhea may save herself,
trying to peel the arms

664
00:38:28,739 --> 00:38:30,641
of Shayna Baszler
off from around her neck.

665
00:38:32,143 --> 00:38:34,178
[Nigel] Baszler squeeze the other arm.

666
00:38:34,779 --> 00:38:37,615
That's the adaptability
of NXT Women's Champion.

667
00:38:39,250 --> 00:38:44,221
[Mauro] Ripley desperately trying to
break the grip but-- Oh, wow, She's--

668
00:38:44,288 --> 00:38:45,122
[Beth] Wait--

669
00:38:45,956 --> 00:38:49,460
[Mauro] Ripley just handcuffed
herself to Shayna Baszler.

670
00:38:49,527 --> 00:38:51,762
[crowd cheers]

671
00:38:51,829 --> 00:38:52,897
[Beth] Baszler--

672
00:38:52,963 --> 00:38:59,837
[Mauro] Oh, and now a close encounter
of the team captain's kind.

673
00:39:00,404 --> 00:39:01,272
[Beth] Oh, my god.

674
00:39:01,339 --> 00:39:03,908
[Mauro] Baszler--
And Ripley looking for the Riptide.

675
00:39:03,974 --> 00:39:05,910
Riptide onto the chairs.

676
00:39:05,976 --> 00:39:08,446
Ripley with the cover.

677
00:39:09,180 --> 00:39:10,781
-Ripley wins!
-[bell rings]

678
00:39:10,848 --> 00:39:13,217
[crowd cheers]

679
00:39:13,284 --> 00:39:17,655
[announcer] Here are your winners,
the team of Tegan Nox, Dakota Kai,

680
00:39:17,722 --> 00:39:22,927
Candice LeRae, and Rhea Ripley.

681
00:39:22,993 --> 00:39:27,698
[Mauro] My eyes saw it
but I don't believe it.

682
00:39:28,065 --> 00:39:31,669
Rhea Ripley, against all odds.

683
00:39:31,736 --> 00:39:36,474
Ripley wins the first ever
women's Wargames match.

684
00:39:37,108 --> 00:39:40,077
How in the hell did that happen?

685
00:39:40,144 --> 00:39:42,113
[rock music plays]

686
00:39:42,179 --> 00:39:47,485
[Beth] Hats off to every single
one of these women. My god.

687
00:39:47,551 --> 00:39:50,020
History right in front of our eyes.

688
00:39:50,087 --> 00:39:54,859
[rock music plays]

689
00:39:54,925 --> 00:39:59,997
[Mauro] There is no way
to overstate what Rhea Ripley

690
00:40:00,064 --> 00:40:05,102
and Candice LeRae
have accomplished here tonight, Nigel.

691
00:40:05,169 --> 00:40:10,541
[Nigel] An incredible historic moment,
going against the odds,

692
00:40:11,108 --> 00:40:17,648
four to two after Dakota Kai
turned on Tegan Nox, unbelievable.

693
00:40:18,015 --> 00:40:20,151
Here what I talked about just then.

694
00:40:20,217 --> 00:40:24,155
[Mauro] One of the most
heinous things I've ever seen in NXT.

695
00:40:24,755 --> 00:40:26,991
Why Dakota Kai-- Whoa!

696
00:40:27,057 --> 00:40:30,194
[they chatter]

697
00:40:30,261 --> 00:40:33,931
[Nigel] Kai would've began now,
would continue the onslaught

698
00:40:33,998 --> 00:40:39,136
with the cage to knee
of her former friend.

699
00:40:39,203 --> 00:40:42,940
[they chatter]

700
00:40:43,007 --> 00:40:46,043
-Dakota, that's enough.
-No, no, no.

701
00:40:46,110 --> 00:40:48,946
[Nigel] But damage was done,
we're back in the ring.

702
00:40:49,013 --> 00:40:50,915
And the Poisonrana.

703
00:40:50,981 --> 00:40:54,785
Oh, the impact
to the chest of Kay Lee Ray.

704
00:40:54,852 --> 00:40:58,889
And if wasn't for Bianca Belair
the match would've been over then.

705
00:41:00,057 --> 00:41:04,628
[Beth] You see this unbelievable feat,
Io Shirai takes to the sky,

706
00:41:04,695 --> 00:41:06,063
takes out LeRae and Belair.

707
00:41:06,130 --> 00:41:10,668
Let's take one more look at this
incredible-- Look at the height

708
00:41:10,734 --> 00:41:12,670
of Io Shirai's Moonsault,

709
00:41:12,736 --> 00:41:14,939
executed perfectly.

710
00:41:15,473 --> 00:41:20,010
[Nigel] Elbows going into her opponent
taking them both down at the same time.

711
00:41:20,311 --> 00:41:22,847
But here-- Oh, using a trashcan

712
00:41:22,913 --> 00:41:26,584
to her advantage
getting caught in a Kirifuda Clutch,

713
00:41:26,650 --> 00:41:28,586
a pivotal moment in the match.

714
00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:33,791
[Beth] The fight Rhea Ripley put up
was unbelievable,

715
00:41:33,858 --> 00:41:39,563
despite Baszler's best effort,
Ripley was able to-- You see right there,

716
00:41:39,630 --> 00:41:42,666
the handcuffs locked on
Shayna Baszler's hand,

717
00:41:42,733 --> 00:41:44,935
tying the two team captains together.

718
00:41:45,269 --> 00:41:47,671
[Mauro] It was Team Ripley
that was handcuffed

719
00:41:47,738 --> 00:41:50,207
because of the actions of Dakota Kai.

720
00:41:50,841 --> 00:41:52,276
But in the end,

721
00:41:53,310 --> 00:41:58,082
Team Ripley prevails
in one of the most shocking upsets

722
00:41:58,582 --> 00:42:00,584
in NXT history.

723
00:42:00,651 --> 00:42:02,319
[crowd] One, two, three!

724
00:42:02,386 --> 00:42:05,723
[Mauro] And now,
after surviving all of this,

725
00:42:06,357 --> 00:42:11,695
Rhea Ripley
will lead her team to Survivor Series.

726
00:42:11,762 --> 00:42:15,699
[indistinct]

727
00:42:15,766 --> 00:42:17,234
But you're stuck to me.

728
00:42:17,301 --> 00:42:19,270

00:43:05,849 --> 00:43:06,850
[Beth] Now you seen that?

740
00:43:06,917 --> 00:43:09,887
Riddle entirely focused
on finally having Finn Balor one on one

741
00:43:09,954 --> 00:43:12,222
after a series of attacks
on the Original Bro.

742
00:43:12,289 --> 00:43:15,459
Looking to stop
Balor's NXT rebirth dead in its tracks.

743
00:43:16,093 --> 00:43:17,995
And there is Finn Balor.

744
00:43:18,062 --> 00:43:20,998
His first match in NXT in over four years.

745
00:43:21,065 --> 00:43:23,901
He battles Riddle
in a dream match tonight.

746
00:43:23,968 --> 00:43:26,303
[Mauro] And three to stop [indistinct]

747
00:43:26,370 --> 00:43:29,006
of competing like rappers
and they can't wait to rap each other

748
00:43:29,073 --> 00:43:32,209
with fists in one of the hallmarks
of a knuckle duster.

749
00:43:32,276 --> 00:43:36,714
The winner will challenge
Adam Cole for the NXT championship

750
00:43:36,780 --> 00:43:39,416
tomorrow at Survivor Series.

751
00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:49,026
Pete Dunne, you tried to break my fingers.

752
00:43:50,094 --> 00:43:52,329
I don't care about Killian Dain.

753
00:43:54,064 --> 00:43:57,001
I am going to break you.

754
00:43:57,067 --> 00:43:59,303
[Mauro] Oh, my god. From behind.

755
00:43:59,370 --> 00:44:00,204
Killian Dain!

756
00:44:00,270 --> 00:44:03,207
[man] Killian I had no issue with you
but you entered my world.

757
00:44:03,273 --> 00:44:04,775
You painted a bullseye on your chest.

758
00:44:05,275 --> 00:44:08,679
[Mauro] The chaos will continue
with a triple threat match

759
00:44:08,746 --> 00:44:10,814
for the number one contendership.

760
00:44:10,881 --> 00:44:16,687
Once I'm done with those two
the next night I'll take the NXT title.

761
00:44:16,754 --> 00:44:18,989
[man] On Takeover I'll put you both down.

762
00:44:19,056 --> 00:44:22,059
[man 2] You guys could be prepare for
a fight, you could prepare for a a battle

763
00:44:22,126 --> 00:44:24,094
on Takeover, prepare for a reckoning.

764
00:44:26,864 --> 00:44:31,602
[Nigel] From reckoning to wrecking
things NXT UK dominant faction Imperium

765
00:44:31,669 --> 00:44:34,772
have run rough shots
over every brand in WWE.

766
00:44:34,838 --> 00:44:37,741
Let's hope
they're just here to watch tonight.

767
00:44:37,808 --> 00:44:40,544
[crowd cheers]

768
00:44:40,611 --> 00:44:45,349
[music starts]

769
00:44:54,458 --> 00:44:57,628
[Mauro] No time to recover
from what we just witnessed.

770
00:44:57,694 --> 00:45:03,367
Another high stakes triple threat match
coming your way at NXT Takeover.

771
00:45:12,476 --> 00:45:14,678
[Nigel] Damian Priest,
The Archer of Infamy

772
00:45:14,745 --> 00:45:18,082
who began all of this
by attacking Pete Dunne,

773
00:45:18,148 --> 00:45:21,719
trying to make his name
at the expense of the Bruiserweight,

774
00:45:21,785 --> 00:45:25,923
of the legacy
of the former WWE United Kingdom Champion.

775
00:45:27,191 --> 00:45:28,192
[bell rings]

776
00:45:28,258 --> 00:45:30,661
[announcer] The following contest
scheduled for one fall

777
00:45:30,728 --> 00:45:35,065
is a triple threat match where the winner
will go on to face Adam Cole

778
00:45:35,132 --> 00:45:39,036
for the NXT championship
tomorrow night at Survivor Series.

779
00:45:39,503 --> 00:45:42,106
Introducing first, from New York City,

780
00:45:42,172 --> 00:45:44,775
weighing in at 249 pounds,

781
00:45:44,842 --> 00:45:47,411
Damian Priest!

782
00:45:47,478 --> 00:45:50,214
[Mauro] Making his NXT Takeover debut,

783
00:45:50,280 --> 00:45:54,218
Damian Priest
paying tribute to WWE Hall of Famers,

784
00:45:54,284 --> 00:45:56,553
the Outsiders, AKA Scott Hall

785
00:45:56,620 --> 00:46:01,592
and Kevin Nash with his ring attire
and of course he would love to be

786
00:46:01,658 --> 00:46:02,526
hotter than fire.

787
00:46:02,593 --> 00:46:07,397
He wants to be the man to challenge
Adam Cole at Survivor Series.

788
00:46:07,464 --> 00:46:12,569
-[music starts]
-[crowd cheers]

789
00:46:20,477 --> 00:46:23,680
[announcer] And his opponent,
from Belfast, Northern Ireland,

790
00:46:23,747 --> 00:46:28,385
weighting in at 320 pounds, Killian Dain.

791
00:46:28,452 --> 00:46:33,257
[Mauro] The Beast of Belfast
is as mean as the day as long

792
00:46:33,323 --> 00:46:39,229
and he let us know that tonight,
he's going to do Priest and Dunne in

793
00:46:39,296 --> 00:46:42,065
and it will be their own fault.

794
00:46:42,132 --> 00:46:47,304
Dain looking for
his first singles championship in NXT.

795
00:46:47,371 --> 00:46:49,773
[Beth] Dain is certainly
an imposing presence.

796
00:46:49,840 --> 00:46:51,875
Look at the look on his face.

797
00:46:51,942 --> 00:46:55,445
Absolutely focused on victory tonight.

798
00:46:55,512 --> 00:47:02,219

-[music plays]
-[crowd cheers]

806
00:47:32,349 --> 00:47:35,452
[announcer] And their opponent
from Birmingham, England,

807
00:47:35,519 --> 00:47:42,259
weighing in at 205 pounds,
"the Bruiserweight" Pete Dunne.

808
00:47:42,326 --> 00:47:48,065
[Mauro] Chicago holds a special place
in the heart of Pete Dunne, two years ago,

809
00:47:48,131 --> 00:47:54,605
NXT Takeover, defeated Tyler Bate
to become the WWE United Kingdom Champion

810
00:47:54,671 --> 00:47:59,576
in what was
the 2017 NXT match of the year.

811
00:48:01,345 --> 00:48:05,849
[Nigel] And the Bruiserweight
went onto a legacy akin to Hulkamania

812
00:48:05,916 --> 00:48:11,088
in its prime,
making almost synonymous with that title.

813
00:48:12,155 --> 00:48:14,591
[Mauro] Well, the title
will be a dispute to Walter

814
00:48:14,658 --> 00:48:17,861
but now focused on challenging Adam Cole

815
00:48:17,928 --> 00:48:22,032
for the NXT championship
and it was last year in fact

816
00:48:22,099 --> 00:48:24,034
he participated in the Wargames match,

817
00:48:24,534 --> 00:48:29,106
the day after he was back home in England
saying hello to his newborn child.

818
00:48:30,941 --> 00:48:34,478
[Beth] Pete Dunne certainly proficient
at rising to the occasion

819
00:48:34,544 --> 00:48:35,879
on the grand stage.

820
00:48:40,150 --> 00:48:45,555
[Mauro] So, again, a triple threat match,
give us what the rules Mister Mcguiness.

821
00:48:45,622 --> 00:48:49,459
[Nigel] No disqualifications,
no count out, pinfalls or submissions

822
00:48:49,526 --> 00:48:52,329
legal at any point during the match.

823
00:48:52,396 --> 00:48:56,600
[Mauro] And knowing what Adam Cole
will have to endure later tonight

824
00:48:56,667 --> 00:48:59,636
into the men's Wargames match,
you will know that all three superstars

825
00:48:59,703 --> 00:49:04,007
are thinking, "Hey, let's get this
over with quick, and watch Cole

826
00:49:04,074 --> 00:49:06,576
get the crap kicked out of him
in tonight's main event."

827
00:49:07,210 --> 00:49:09,713
[Beth] It looks like
they were thinking just that.

828
00:49:09,780 --> 00:49:11,515
[crowd cheers]

829
00:49:11,581 --> 00:49:14,051
[Nigel] Often times
in triple threat matches,

830
00:49:14,117 --> 00:49:16,920
they're stretching the better partner
of that-- Oh, wait a second.

831
00:49:16,987 --> 00:49:18,188
Repeating history.

832
00:49:18,255 --> 00:49:22,859
It was Dunne breaking the fingers of Dain
that brought Dain into this conflict.

833
00:49:22,926 --> 00:49:27,564
[Mauro] And of course, it was
Damian Priest who attacked Pete Dunne,

834
00:49:28,165 --> 00:49:31,902
wanting to make a name for himself,
he wants to live forever,

835
00:49:31,969 --> 00:49:35,906
the draculant tooks off
like the Archer of Infamy.

836
00:49:35,973 --> 00:49:37,941
[Beth] He is looking for
adulation from the crowd

837
00:49:38,008 --> 00:49:39,810
and it didn't work out too well for him.

838
00:49:44,381 --> 00:49:47,184
[Nigel] A nice agility
from the Bruiserweight.

839
00:49:47,484 --> 00:49:49,586
Oh, no, after you. Wow. Look at that.

840
00:49:50,354 --> 00:49:54,091
[Mauro] Oh, Killian Dain,
clotheslines Priest over the top rope,

841
00:49:54,157 --> 00:49:56,927
but Priest landed on his feet,
now Pete Dunne looking to

842
00:49:56,993 --> 00:49:59,596
play the fingers again of Killian Dain.

843
00:49:59,663 --> 00:50:03,000
Oh, the joint manipulation
by the Bruiserweight.

844
00:50:03,066 --> 00:50:04,801
[Beth] Oh, look at the angle of that.

845
00:50:04,868 --> 00:50:06,370
[Mauro] It's time to stomp.

846
00:50:06,436 --> 00:50:10,640
[crowd chatters]

847
00:50:10,707 --> 00:50:12,342
[Beth] That's what so-- Oh.

848
00:50:12,409 --> 00:50:14,311
-[Mauro] Wow.
-[Nigel laughs]

849
00:50:15,112 --> 00:50:17,848
[Nigel] Pete Dunne
walked into oncoming traffic.

850
00:50:17,914 --> 00:50:20,617
[Mauro] Man, Priest
used to popping bottles,

851
00:50:20,684 --> 00:50:22,886
he was popping Dunne with that strike.

852
00:50:22,953 --> 00:50:24,755
[Beth] And here's the challenge
of a triple threat,

853
00:50:24,821 --> 00:50:27,290
you have to have basically have
eyes in the back of your head,

854
00:50:27,357 --> 00:50:31,128
always aware of where both of
your other opponents are every moment.

855
00:50:31,194 --> 00:50:34,431
[Mauro] If only swivel surgery
existed as Damian Priest,

856
00:50:34,498 --> 00:50:37,300
the Archer of Infamy
with a full head of steam.

857
00:50:37,367 --> 00:50:40,037
Oh, but gets caught by Pete Dunne.

858
00:50:40,504 --> 00:50:43,840
[Nigel] Priest saw Dunne coming
at the last second and slowed up,

859
00:50:43,907 --> 00:50:46,009
but couldn't prevent the attack.

860
00:50:46,076 --> 00:50:49,546
[Mauro] Climbs the turnbuckles
and here paying tribute to Scott Hall

861
00:50:49,613 --> 00:50:53,984
looking for the Razor's Edge--
No, instead, the Divide by Killian Dain.

862
00:50:54,051 --> 00:50:57,187
[crowd chatters]

863
00:50:57,254 --> 00:50:59,389
[Beth] What's Dain got planned? Whoa!

864
00:50:59,456 --> 00:51:03,060
[Mauro] That's another Driver
right out of the face of Damian Priest.

865
00:51:03,126 --> 00:51:05,429
Talk about two for the price of one.

866
00:51:05,495 --> 00:51:07,030
Going for the three count.

867
00:51:07,097 --> 00:51:10,767
[crowd chatters]

868
00:51:10,834 --> 00:51:12,369
[Mauro] Cover again by Dain.

869
00:51:13,403 --> 00:51:16,106
[Nigel] That's what Dunne has--
He says, what-- Any of the competitor,

870
00:51:16,173 --> 00:51:17,107
you have to do--

871
00:51:17,174 --> 00:51:19,609
[Beth] Take a look at the landing on this.

872
00:51:20,210 --> 00:51:25,382
Dain had done offer awful amount of time,
both heads crashing together.

873
00:51:25,449 --> 00:51:28,051
[Nigel] Priest may have broken
his nose there. Watch out.

874
00:51:28,118 --> 00:51:31,488
[Mauro] Damian Priest
retreats to the outside

875
00:51:31,555 --> 00:51:34,624
here near the Spanish announce table,
and Killian Dain, of course,

876
00:51:34,691 --> 00:51:39,029
no count outs, no disqualification,
the Beast of Belfast,

877
00:51:39,096 --> 00:51:40,630
scarier than a shadow monster

878
00:51:40,697 --> 00:51:44,568
continues to wreak havoc on Damian Priest.

879
00:51:44,634 --> 00:51:47,938
[Beth] We've seen Damian's
make good use of those steps in the past.

880
00:51:48,004 --> 00:51:50,774
[Mauro] Oh, Pete Dunne,
wow, look at the strength of Dain,

881
00:51:50,841 --> 00:51:52,275
the Great Dain.

882
00:51:53,810 --> 00:51:58,782
Oh, my goodness, a fall away
slam combo Samoan Drop.

883
00:51:59,316 --> 00:52:03,954
Killian Dain has his eyes
on an opportunity at the NXT title.

884
00:52:04,387 --> 00:52:07,357
[Nigel] Look at the strength there
of the Beast of Belfast.

885
00:52:07,424 --> 00:52:12,496
Two men, full-grown,
thrown off way across the mat.

886
00:52:12,562 --> 00:52:17,300
[Mauro] A stupendous display
of his strength and Killian Dain

887
00:52:17,367 --> 00:52:20,070
now picking away
the carcass of Pete Dunne,

888
00:52:20,403 --> 00:52:22,005
rolls him back into the ring.

889
00:52:23,406 --> 00:52:25,442
Remember, pinfall or submission

890
00:52:25,509 --> 00:52:29,212
the only way
you get the opportunity to challenge

891
00:52:29,279 --> 00:52:31,781
for the NXT title at Survivor Series.

892
00:52:31,848 --> 00:52:33,350
[they groan]

893
00:52:33,416 --> 00:52:36,386
[Beth] See, Pete Dunne
favoring his back a little bit there.

894
00:52:37,454 --> 00:52:39,356
[Nigel] It's not gonna help
his ear either.

895
00:52:39,856 --> 00:52:43,059
A working class hero wrapping it.

896
00:52:43,393 --> 00:52:46,730
Hard working
counselor state in Birmingham.

897
00:52:47,631 --> 00:52:51,001
[Mauro] He's in there against
the Northern Ireland Nightmare,

898
00:52:51,067 --> 00:52:53,904
and now,
Pete Dunne valiantly fighting back,

899
00:52:53,970 --> 00:52:56,806
but it all it takes is
one well-placed knee to the midsection

900
00:52:56,873 --> 00:52:59,943
by Killian Dain
has Dunne up in a Fireman's Carry.

901
00:53:00,010 --> 00:53:01,745
[they groan]

902
00:53:01,811 --> 00:53:03,880
[Beth] The Bruiserweight
still fighting back.

903
00:53:04,548 --> 00:53:07,617
[Nigel] Those overhand chops
trying to get underneath that shirt.

904
00:53:08,084 --> 00:53:10,120
[Beth] That's a over 300 pounds.

905
00:53:10,187 --> 00:53:12,389
[Mauro] Oh, the agility of Dunne
lands on his feet.

906
00:53:13,657 --> 00:53:18,728
And now Damian Priest back into the fray,
lands on Killian Dain.

907
00:53:18,795 --> 00:53:20,430
Standing switch by Priest.

908
00:53:20,797 --> 00:53:23,967
Wow, released German Suplex,
Dunne lands on his feet.

909
00:53:24,034 --> 00:53:26,703
Clocks Priest
with a Roundhouse Kick to the face.

910
00:53:26,770 --> 00:53:28,505
[they groan]

911
00:53:28,572 --> 00:53:30,540
-[Beth] Wow.
-[Mauro] Snap Suplex.

912
00:53:31,508 --> 00:53:35,278
-Oh.
-[Nigel] Oh, and again.

913
00:53:35,345 --> 00:53:38,315
[Mauro] Hard hitting offense
from Pete Dunne.

914
00:53:38,381 --> 00:53:41,017
[Nigel] That's not gonna help
those previously broken fingers.

915
00:53:42,285 --> 00:53:46,323
[Mauro] Oh, and to the leaping cross
arm breaker, the Gogoplata attempt

916
00:53:46,389 --> 00:53:47,657
by Pete Dunne.

917
00:53:47,724 --> 00:53:51,561
[Nigel] Monkey grip by from Damian Priest
to prevent into a triangular attempt now.

918
00:53:51,628 --> 00:53:55,232
[Mauro] And Killian Dain is going to
make sure he's going to short circuit

919
00:53:55,298 --> 00:53:56,633
this submission attempt.

920
00:53:56,700 --> 00:54:00,170
And instead--
Oh, Killian Dain still in trouble

921
00:54:00,237 --> 00:54:03,173
Pete Dunne able to
almost split Dain's fingers again.

922
00:54:03,640 --> 00:54:04,975
[Beth] Dunne is in huge trouble.

923
00:54:05,041 --> 00:54:06,876
[Mauro] Oh, what a Power Bomb.

924
00:54:06,943 --> 00:54:09,579
[crowd booing]

925
00:54:09,646 --> 00:54:14,651
And it seems a temporary alliance
may have been forged

926
00:54:14,718 --> 00:54:18,521
as Dain and Priest
staring to each other's eyes,

927
00:54:18,588 --> 00:54:21,324
circle each other like caged animals.

928
00:54:22,292 --> 00:54:24,094
[Nigel] Whoa.

929
00:54:24,160 --> 00:54:25,795
[Beth] Priest taking an opportunity.

930
00:54:26,296 --> 00:54:28,531
[Nigel] I don't know
if that was a good idea though, Beth.

931
00:54:28,598 --> 00:54:31,167
[Nigel] Not to go to toe to toe
with Killian Dain, it isn't.

932
00:54:31,968 --> 00:54:34,371
Huge striking blows from the big man.

933
00:54:34,437 --> 00:54:37,340
-[crowd cheers]
-[they groan]

934
00:54:37,407 --> 00:54:40,910
[Nigel] Now the ego and the plight of
two-- These two massive competitors.

935
00:54:40,977 --> 00:54:44,447
[Mauro] Oh, Muay Thai knee strikes
out of the [indistinct]

936
00:54:44,514 --> 00:54:48,485
by Damian Priest who's well versed
in various martial arts disciplines

937
00:54:48,551 --> 00:54:51,154
as they catch each other and again.

938
00:54:51,221 --> 00:54:54,691
While both looking to take each other down
here comes Pete Dunne.

939
00:54:55,725 --> 00:54:59,195
[Beth] Nice move by Pete Dunne,
capitalizing on the damage [indistinct]

940
00:54:59,262 --> 00:55:00,664
have already done to each other.

941
00:55:00,730 --> 00:55:05,035
[crowd cheering and booing]

942
00:55:05,101 --> 00:55:08,104
[Mauro] Into a Bermuda triangle
of strikes here is Priest, Dunne,

943
00:55:08,171 --> 00:55:09,706
and Dain light each other up.

944
00:55:09,773 --> 00:55:12,308
Oh! Discus Forearm!

945
00:55:12,375 --> 00:55:13,443
And wow!

946
00:55:13,510 --> 00:55:18,148
A jumping knee strike by Dunne
sent Dain crashing to the canvas.

947
00:55:18,214 --> 00:55:20,116
[Beth] This match is getting ugly.

948
00:55:20,183 --> 00:55:24,554
-[crowd cheers]
-[they groan]

949
00:55:24,621 --> 00:55:27,724
-[Mauro] Oh!
-[Beth] Oh!

950
00:55:28,425 --> 00:55:30,460
[Mauro] Oh, wow, Bear Clap.

951
00:55:30,527 --> 00:55:33,863
Priest, Dunne, and Dain
all the back elbow, the Roundhouse Kick.

952
00:55:35,031 --> 00:55:37,300
[Nigel] Action every which way.

953
00:55:37,367 --> 00:55:39,736
[Mauro] Oh, nice counter by Dunne,

954
00:55:39,803 --> 00:55:40,837
mid trajectory.

955
00:55:40,904 --> 00:55:45,909
The Bruiserweight and all three of them
crashing to each other.

956
00:55:45,975 --> 00:55:50,113
[crowd cheers]

957
00:55:50,180 --> 00:55:56,086
[crowd] NXT! NXT! NXT!

958
00:55:56,152 --> 00:55:57,921
[crowd] NXT! NXT! NXT!

959
00:55:57,987 --> 00:56:00,757
[Mauro] Three letters that spelled
the gold standard in a match

960
00:56:00,824 --> 00:56:05,395
that's all about garnering an opportunity
at the gold, NXT triple threat.

961
00:56:06,096 --> 00:56:09,032
Damian Priest, Killian Dain, Pete Dunne,

962
00:56:09,099 --> 00:56:13,103
Dunne is the only member of
this triumvirate who's held single's gold

963
00:56:13,169 --> 00:56:19,909
under the WWE banner, he would like add
the NXT title to his list of accolades.

964
00:56:19,976 --> 00:56:21,444
[they groan]

965
00:56:21,511 --> 00:56:23,913
[Beth] Which one of these men
can get the advantage?

966
00:56:23,980 --> 00:56:25,815
[they groan]

967
00:56:25,882 --> 00:56:26,916
[Mauro] Whoa.

968
00:56:28,051 --> 00:56:33,390
Damian Priest from the top
wipes up both Dunne and Dain.

969
00:56:34,791 --> 00:56:36,259
Oh, the Broken Arrow.

970
00:56:36,526 --> 00:56:40,029
Damian Priest with a Broken Arrow.
Dunne crashes into Dain.

971
00:56:41,097 --> 00:56:42,699
South of Heaven.

972
00:56:43,166 --> 00:56:44,567
And will this be it?

973
00:56:44,634 --> 00:56:47,170
Damian Priest on its way to Survivor-- No.

974
00:56:48,037 --> 00:56:50,273
[Nigel] But Priest has the advantage now.

975
00:56:50,340 --> 00:56:52,408
Killian Dain is
on the outside of the ring.

976
00:56:52,475 --> 00:56:55,111
This may be
one of the few opportunities in the match

977
00:56:55,178 --> 00:56:58,481
that Priest has to
put away an opponent cleanly.

978
00:56:58,548 --> 00:57:00,116
[Beth] Priest can't waste any time,

979
00:57:00,183 --> 00:57:02,652
he can't get frustrated,
he has to remain focused.

980
00:57:02,719 --> 00:57:04,888
[Nigel] Oh, I'm not sure
if that's the right idea.

981
00:57:04,954 --> 00:57:07,157
[Mauro] And Priest just get
[indistinct] Dunne.

982
00:57:07,624 --> 00:57:14,364
Remember, NXT championship opportunity
at Survivor Series hangs in the balance,

983
00:57:14,898 --> 00:57:19,536
Damian Priest feels he's on the verge
of capturing that opportunity.

984
00:57:20,036 --> 00:57:21,938
Looking for the Razor's Edge.

985
00:57:22,005 --> 00:57:24,140
-[Nigel] Oh, god.
-[Mauro] Oh, my god.

986
00:57:24,207 --> 00:57:26,709
Oh, wow. Oh, no.

987
00:57:27,444 --> 00:57:30,680
Pete Dunne, is he done?

988
00:57:30,747 --> 00:57:32,949
Oh, my god, the [indistinct]

989
00:57:33,249 --> 00:57:38,555
Killian Dain barrels through the ropes
and blasts Damian Priest.

990
00:57:39,756 --> 00:57:42,425
[Nigel] Nobody safe at ringside,
watch out.

991
00:57:42,492 --> 00:57:45,995
[Mauro] Nobody safe anywhere at Wargames.

992
00:57:49,666 --> 00:57:55,338
The Beast of Belfast
has blasted both Dunne and Priest.

993
00:57:55,405 --> 00:58:00,143
[crowd] Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit!

994
00:58:00,210 --> 00:58:02,946
[Beth] Complete carnage at ringside.

995
00:58:03,413 --> 00:58:04,747
[Nigel] Just look here.

996
00:58:04,814 --> 00:58:09,018
Beginning of an offense,
Dunne into the Spanish announce table.

997
00:58:09,285 --> 00:58:16,059
But then, it'd be the Beast of Belfast
going for the Archer of Infamy.

998
00:58:16,759 --> 00:58:20,063
[Mauro] There was a school of thought
that the winner of this match

999
00:58:20,129 --> 00:58:23,933
would have an advantage
at the NXT championship match Sunday

1000
00:58:24,000 --> 00:58:27,904
at Survivor Series because of what's
to come for Adam Cole at Wargames.

1001
00:58:27,971 --> 00:58:30,039
And Dain goes for the cover on Priest.

1002
00:58:30,106 --> 00:58:33,209
Gets a two-count.
But after what we have just witnessed

1003
00:58:33,276 --> 00:58:36,446
and what's still to come,
I don't know if anyone

1004
00:58:36,513 --> 00:58:39,549
is going to have an advantage
tomorrow at Survivor Series.

1005
00:58:39,616 --> 00:58:42,986
[Nigel] It certainly becoming a war of
attrition the longer this match goes.

1006
00:58:43,486 --> 00:58:47,290
[Beth] Imagine in 24 hours
having to walk out

1007
00:58:47,357 --> 00:58:49,826
and possibly
one of the biggest matches of your life

1008
00:58:49,893 --> 00:58:51,661
after a battle like this?

1009
00:58:51,728 --> 00:58:53,029
[they groan]

1010
00:58:53,096 --> 00:58:56,566
[Mauro] Priest continues to battle
against Dain, Dain picks him up.

1011
00:58:58,067 --> 00:58:59,502
Slams him.

1012
00:58:59,569 --> 00:59:06,175
And there-- Oh, senton
over 300 pounds of Killian Dain crashing

1013
00:59:06,242 --> 00:59:08,945
onto the chest of Damian Priest.

1014
00:59:09,012 --> 00:59:11,748
Now, Dain looking for the Vader Bomb--

1015
00:59:11,814 --> 00:59:13,883
Oh, but Priest has it well scouted.

1016
00:59:16,219 --> 00:59:21,691
And at this time Priest and Dain
continue to wage war

1017
00:59:21,758 --> 00:59:23,927
for the opportunity
to challenge for the NXT title.

1018
00:59:23,993 --> 00:59:26,229
Pete Dunne meanwhile [indistinct].

1019
00:59:26,729 --> 00:59:27,964
[Beth] Oh, my god.

1020
00:59:28,031 --> 00:59:31,067
[they groan]

1021
00:59:31,134 --> 00:59:34,270
[Mauro] Razor's Edge by Damian Priest.

1022
00:59:34,537 --> 00:59:37,473
Dain crashing hard
to the canvas, the cover.

1023
00:59:37,540 --> 00:59:42,912
Oh, and Pete Dunne, Pete Dunne
keeps this triple threat match going.

1024
00:59:42,979 --> 00:59:45,582
[crowd cheers]

1025
00:59:45,648 --> 00:59:49,886
[Nigel] Incredible strength there
from Damian Priest.

1026
00:59:49,953 --> 00:59:55,024
But with a hook of a leg it would be
the Bruiserweight at the last second

1027
00:59:55,091 --> 00:59:58,294
saving the match for himself and Dain.

1028
00:59:58,361 --> 01:00:01,831
[Mauro] Priest proving to be
a paragon of punishment.

1029
01:00:01,898 --> 01:00:04,534
[they groan]

1030
01:00:04,600 --> 01:00:07,370
[Nigel] Whoa. Strikes from the bottom.

1031
01:00:09,038 --> 01:00:10,873
[Beth] Dunne's got to hold the hands.

1032
01:00:11,507 --> 01:00:15,078
[Nigel] No way Priest could protect
himself, now trying to get his hands up.

1033
01:00:15,144 --> 01:00:19,182
[Mauro] Pete Dunne
stomping the face of Damian Priest,

1034
01:00:19,248 --> 01:00:22,618
Dunne gathering
his second wind in this match.

1035
01:00:22,685 --> 01:00:26,489
Oh, what a crashing forearm
into the jaw of Damian Priest.

1036
01:00:26,556 --> 01:00:27,890
Oh, but Priest follows up

1037
01:00:27,957 --> 01:00:30,960
and a leaping elbow
into the face of Pete Dunne.

1038
01:00:31,828 --> 01:00:34,430
[Beth] You see all the damage done
to the back of Pete Dunne.

1039
01:00:34,497 --> 01:00:37,100
He continues to feel that in the back.

1040
01:00:37,166 --> 01:00:39,936
[Mauro] Oh, my god!

1041
01:00:40,503 --> 01:00:44,273
Damian Priest,
throwing cautious to the wind.

1042
01:00:44,340 --> 01:00:47,910
I think that may have even
impressed Pete Dunne

1043
01:00:47,977 --> 01:00:50,880
after watching
Damian Priest sail like that.

1044
01:00:50,947 --> 01:00:53,549
[Nigel] Apparently shocked
the Bruiserweight and now though

1045
01:00:53,616 --> 01:00:55,251
is trying to one up.

1046
01:00:55,318 --> 01:01:00,757
[Mauro] Anything Damian Priest can do,
Pete Dunne can follow up with this.

1047
01:01:00,823 --> 01:01:06,429
[crowd cheers]

1048
01:01:06,496 --> 01:01:09,365
[Mauro] Unbelievable Moonsault
by Pete Dunne,

1049
01:01:09,432 --> 01:01:12,035
wiping out both Priest and Dain.

1050
01:01:13,569 --> 01:01:16,572
[Nigel] But Dunne went down hard.
Take a look first of all.

1051
01:01:16,639 --> 01:01:21,077
Damian Priest taking to the sky,
six-foot seven,

1052
01:01:21,144 --> 01:01:23,479
nearly three hundred pounds
through the air.

1053
01:01:23,546 --> 01:01:26,416
The Archer of Infamy from the leaping out,

1054
01:01:26,482 --> 01:01:30,520
but not enough to
keep away Pete Dunne's Moonsault.

1055
01:01:31,821 --> 01:01:34,123
Three broken bodies at ringside.

1056
01:01:35,425 --> 01:01:38,895
[Beth] Dunne struggling to
get to his feet to return to the ring.

1057
01:01:40,196 --> 01:01:42,532
And it looks like Priest
is shortly behind him.

1058
01:01:45,368 --> 01:01:48,571
How much more
do these competitors have left?

1059
01:01:49,038 --> 01:01:54,410
[Mauro] Priest is on his feet, ready to
resume hostilities with Pete Dunne.

1060
01:01:54,744 --> 01:01:56,846
Remember, Priest targeted Dunne,

1061
01:01:56,913 --> 01:01:58,314
to make a name for himself

1062
01:01:58,381 --> 01:02:02,151
and now Priest
unloading these shots on Pete Dunne.

1063
01:02:02,218 --> 01:02:03,720
Pete Dunne unable to defend,

1064
01:02:03,786 --> 01:02:06,489
but he's coming back now
with Machine Gun Fire Trap.

1065
01:02:08,057 --> 01:02:11,327
Hard hitting affair here
between Dunne and Priest.

1066
01:02:12,462 --> 01:02:14,130
Oh, wow.

1067
01:02:14,197 --> 01:02:19,202
[crowd chatters]

1068
01:02:19,268 --> 01:02:21,904
[Beth] Priest sees victory on his sights.

1069
01:02:21,971 --> 01:02:25,641
[Mauro] Looking for the Reckoning.
Countered by Pete Dunne.

1070
01:02:25,708 --> 01:02:27,210
Looking for that Pumphandle.

1071
01:02:27,810 --> 01:02:30,413
-[Beth] Oh, wait, he reversed it.
-[Mauro] Oh, nice reversal by--

1072
01:02:30,480 --> 01:02:32,381
Oh, Snapmare there by Pete Dunne.

1073
01:02:32,448 --> 01:02:33,349
Oh, the headbutt.

1074
01:02:35,451 --> 01:02:38,421
-[Beth] Wow.
-[Mauro] What a counter by Pete Dunne.

1075
01:02:38,488 --> 01:02:40,556
[Nigel] He has the Cross Armbreaker,

1076
01:02:40,623 --> 01:02:44,393
getting the Monkey Grip, trying to
prevent the full extension of the arm,

1077
01:02:45,261 --> 01:02:47,630
contracts the right
but he's not gonna close it. Wait.

1078
01:02:47,697 --> 01:02:50,600
[cross talks]

1079
01:02:50,900 --> 01:02:52,401
[Nigel] So close to attack.

1080
01:02:52,468 --> 01:02:57,807
[Mauro] Oh, but that was
too close for comfort for Pete Dunne.

1081
01:02:58,708 --> 01:03:01,844
And Killian Dain
limping his way to Damian Priest,

1082
01:03:01,911 --> 01:03:03,846
has him up in the electric chair.

1083
01:03:05,615 --> 01:03:07,850
-[Beth] What are we gonna see?
-[Mauro] Oh, my!

1084
01:03:07,917 --> 01:03:10,553
Oh, wow, plants Damian Priest.

1085
01:03:10,620 --> 01:03:13,656
Dain is on his way to Survivor Series.

1086
01:03:14,790 --> 01:03:19,729
One count away from challenging
Adam Cole for the NXT title

1087
01:03:20,062 --> 01:03:21,898
tomorrow at Survivor Series.

1088
01:03:21,964 --> 01:03:25,067
Who is gonna survive
this triple threat match?

1089
01:03:26,135 --> 01:03:27,370
[Nigel] Can you believe it?

1090
01:03:27,436 --> 01:03:32,308
This just speaks volumes about
how much every one of these competitors

1091
01:03:32,375 --> 01:03:34,577
wants a title opportunity.

1092
01:03:34,644 --> 01:03:39,182
-[crowd cheers]
-[they groan]

1093
01:03:39,248 --> 01:03:42,385
[Beth] Killian Dain frustrated,

1094
01:03:43,686 --> 01:03:47,156
brought his best offense
and it still was not enough

1095
01:03:47,223 --> 01:03:49,091
to put either of this gentlemen away.

1096
01:03:51,627 --> 01:03:54,463
[Mauro] It was a couple of weeks back
that Pete Dunne defeated Damian Priest,

1097
01:03:54,530 --> 01:03:57,133
but Killian Dain
making his presence known yet again,

1098
01:03:57,200 --> 01:04:00,937
now has Dunne tied to the Tree of Woe
and focusing his attack now

1099
01:04:01,003 --> 01:04:05,708
on Damian Priest who he drives
into the midsection of the Bruiserweight.

1100
01:04:06,342 --> 01:04:07,243
[Beth] Oh, no!

1101
01:04:07,777 --> 01:04:11,414
[Mauro] Going for
an NXT championship opportunity.

1102
01:04:11,480 --> 01:04:13,216
[crowd chatters]

1103
01:04:13,282 --> 01:04:17,353
[Beth] Dunne may have caught the worst of
it being pinned against the turnbuckles.

1104
01:04:17,420 --> 01:04:18,354
[crowd booing]

1105
01:04:18,421 --> 01:04:21,123
[Mauro] Oh, wow. Killian Dain
with the Vader Bomb

1106
01:04:21,190 --> 01:04:25,261
across the lower lumbar region
of Damian Priest.

1107
01:04:26,429 --> 01:04:28,664
Rolling over Priest,
looking for the cover.

1108
01:04:28,731 --> 01:04:30,099
[referee] One, two--

1109
01:04:30,166 --> 01:04:32,001
[Mauro] Oh, but there's Pete Dunne.

1110
01:04:32,401 --> 01:04:34,904
Pete Dunne with a moonsault
onto the back of Dain.

1111
01:04:34,971 --> 01:04:36,405
[Beth] Can he capitalize?

1112
01:04:36,472 --> 01:04:39,308
[Mauro] With the Pumphandle.
Oh, the Better End.

1113
01:04:39,375 --> 01:04:40,743
The Better End on Dain.

1114
01:04:40,810 --> 01:04:42,578
Pete Dunne rolls him over.

1115
01:04:42,645 --> 01:04:48,718
Cover, hooks the leg, and Priest
short-circuits a pinning attempt.

1116
01:04:48,985 --> 01:04:51,821
[Nigel] For the benefit
of those long, rangy legs there,

1117
01:04:51,888 --> 01:04:55,324
a kick to the side of the jaw,
breaking up the pinfall attempt.

1118
01:04:56,092 --> 01:04:59,562
[Mauro] And just like the Beastie Boys,
Damian Priest hails from New York,

1119
01:04:59,629 --> 01:05:04,033
and they are driven-- Literally fighting
for his right to party here,

1120
01:05:04,100 --> 01:05:06,302
but it's a party of pain.

1121
01:05:06,369 --> 01:05:08,804
[Nigel] Here is the example of that party,

1122
01:05:08,871 --> 01:05:11,374
nearly putting the lights out
at the end of the party.

1123
01:05:11,440 --> 01:05:14,710
[crowd cheers]

1124
01:05:14,777 --> 01:05:17,847
[Beth] All three men
struggling to get to their feet.

1125
01:05:17,913 --> 01:05:24,854
[crowd cheers]

1126
01:05:25,488 --> 01:05:28,090
[Mauro] Pete Dunne
keeping Damian Priest at bay,

1127
01:05:28,157 --> 01:05:29,792
struggling to stay in the corner. Wow!

1128
01:05:29,859 --> 01:05:35,031
Cyclone Kick by Damian Priest,
just grazed Pete Dunne in the corner.

1129
01:05:35,097 --> 01:05:38,434
Priest going all the way up
to the top turnbuckle.

1130
01:05:38,501 --> 01:05:39,969
[Beth] Oh, my god!

1131
01:05:40,036 --> 01:05:43,439
[Mauro] Avalanche Frankensteiner
right into Dain.

1132
01:05:43,506 --> 01:05:48,177
And there again the Cyclone Boot has
Dain hung up to dry like a towel rack.

1133
01:05:48,244 --> 01:05:49,612
He went for Dunne.

1134
01:05:50,313 --> 01:05:52,181
[Beth] Priest can get him away right now.

1135
01:05:52,581 --> 01:05:54,583
The reckoning! The reckoning!

1136
01:05:54,650 --> 01:05:59,288
Damian Priest is going to
get an NXT title, but no.

1137
01:05:59,655 --> 01:06:01,390
Unbelievable.

1138
01:06:02,224 --> 01:06:03,492
Oh, wow!

1139
01:06:03,559 --> 01:06:10,499
[cheers and applause]

1140
01:06:11,934 --> 01:06:16,172
[Nigel] Incredible endurance
from all three competitors.

1141
01:06:16,238 --> 01:06:20,076
And yes,
the look of frustration, understandable.

1142
01:06:21,177 --> 01:06:23,346
Damian Priest has given it all,

1143
01:06:23,412 --> 01:06:25,181
Pete Dunne has given it all,

1144
01:06:25,247 --> 01:06:27,950
Killian Dain has given it all,
but what is left?

1145
01:06:28,017 --> 01:06:30,386
[Mauro] Who possesses
the Thanksgiving tryptophan

1146
01:06:30,453 --> 01:06:32,989
to put the other two challengers to sleep?

1147
01:06:33,055 --> 01:06:35,491
Will it be Priest, Dunne, or Dain?

1148
01:06:35,558 --> 01:06:39,862
Dunne lands on his feet
but then gets attacked by Killian Dain

1149
01:06:39,929 --> 01:06:41,263
with the Chop Block.

1150
01:06:41,330 --> 01:06:44,166
[Beth] Chop Block to the side of the knee.
That's a very awkward position.

1151
01:06:44,233 --> 01:06:45,868
Your knee is not meant to bend that way.

1152
01:06:46,836 --> 01:06:47,670
[they groan]

1153
01:06:47,737 --> 01:06:51,240
[Mauro] Oh, wow.
Dain dropkicks Priest off the apron.

1154
01:06:51,307 --> 01:06:56,011
This will give Dain an opportunity
to try to put away Pete Dunne.

1155
01:06:56,078 --> 01:07:01,517
Is Killian Dain on the verge
of his first opportunity at the NXT title?

1156
01:07:01,584 --> 01:07:03,319
[Nigel] Unfamiliar territory.

1157
01:07:03,719 --> 01:07:06,188
[Nigel] Oh. That's the reason why.

1158
01:07:06,756 --> 01:07:10,893
But Dain-- Excuse me, Dunne, slow to
follow up with the damage to the knee.

1159
01:07:10,960 --> 01:07:13,229
[crowd cheers]

1160
01:07:13,295 --> 01:07:15,331
[Beth] Dunne struggling to
get to his feet,

1161
01:07:15,398 --> 01:07:18,434
trying to use the ropes
just to drag his body up.

1162
01:07:18,868 --> 01:07:21,904
[Mauro] And yet they continue to
try to pull out all the stops,

1163
01:07:21,971 --> 01:07:25,708
leaving the relative comfort of the mat.

1164
01:07:25,775 --> 01:07:29,311
They're in the corner.
Damian Priest on the outside.

1165
01:07:29,612 --> 01:07:32,948
Uncorks a right hand
and now he climbs the turnbuckle.

1166
01:07:33,516 --> 01:07:35,918
[Beth] I don't think there's room
for all these three men up there.

1167
01:07:36,752 --> 01:07:38,087
[Nigel] What is this?

1168
01:07:38,554 --> 01:07:41,924
[Mauro] Oh, Damian Priest
just secured both-- Oh, no, don't--

1169
01:07:41,991 --> 01:07:45,261
Dunne now secures the fingers and snap.

1170
01:07:45,861 --> 01:07:49,765
And Damian Priest crashes hard
on the apron to the outside.

1171
01:07:49,832 --> 01:07:52,835
Pete Dunne has Killian Dain
in a Front Facelock.

1172
01:07:54,470 --> 01:07:57,106
Superplex by Dunne.

1173
01:07:57,940 --> 01:08:02,078
That will realign the spine
and jack the back of Dain.

1174
01:08:02,144 --> 01:08:05,781
Now the Pumphandle
on Priest into the Better End.

1175
01:08:06,282 --> 01:08:07,750
The Better End by Dunne.

1176
01:08:08,250 --> 01:08:09,251
The cover.

1177
01:08:10,352 --> 01:08:12,221
Oh, wow!

1178
01:08:13,055 --> 01:08:18,327
Killian Dain
keeps this triple threat match going.

1179
01:08:18,961 --> 01:08:20,329
I thought that was it.

1180
01:08:20,396 --> 01:08:21,997
[Nigel] What is it gonna take?

1181
01:08:22,598 --> 01:08:24,800
[Mauro] An incredible display

1182
01:08:25,801 --> 01:08:30,106
of guts, resilience,
conditioning, and heart.

1183
01:08:30,840 --> 01:08:33,776
[Nigel] Oh, he got--
Slipped to the sleeper hold from behind.

1184
01:08:34,577 --> 01:08:39,582
[Mauro] Oh, but then Dain dropping the--
Wait a minute. Dunne hooks the leg.

1185
01:08:39,648 --> 01:08:41,350
Dunne with the press. Dunne does it.

1186
01:08:41,417 --> 01:08:42,585
-Dunne does it.
-[bell rings]

1187
01:08:42,651 --> 01:08:45,721
[Mauro] Dunne has earned the championship
opportunity at Survivor Series.

1188
01:08:45,788 --> 01:08:48,057
[announcer]
Here is your winner, Pete Dunne!

[rock music plays]

1190
01:08:51,093 --> 01:08:54,864
[Nigel] What a moment
and what a city for Pete Dunne.

1191
01:08:54,930 --> 01:08:59,301
Lightning strikes twice,
maybe three times in a row.

1192
01:08:59,368 --> 01:09:05,140
[Mauro] On this night, Priest and Dain
are second to Dunne as Pete Dunne

1193
01:09:05,207 --> 01:09:11,413
will challenge Adam Cole
for the NXT championship tomorrow.

1194
01:09:11,480 --> 01:09:16,552
Survivor Series
streaming live on the WWE Network.

1195
01:09:16,619 --> 01:09:19,154
What a match that is going to be.

1196
01:09:19,221 --> 01:09:22,691
Question is, what will both Dunne and Cole

1197
01:09:22,758 --> 01:09:26,562
have left after this brutal night?

1198
01:09:26,896 --> 01:09:30,332
[Nigel] We'll take a look at
some of that brutality right here.

1199
01:09:30,799 --> 01:09:32,635
It was a Sleeper Hold for Dunne

1200
01:09:32,701 --> 01:09:37,106
but you see there, Dain trying to use
Dunne's weight for his advantage,

1201
01:09:37,173 --> 01:09:39,508
but it would be
the opportunity for Pete Dunne,

1202
01:09:39,575 --> 01:09:42,578
realizing that Priest was undone.

1203
01:09:43,812 --> 01:09:47,383
With the hook of the leg,
it's a night for Pete Dunne

1204
01:09:47,449 --> 01:09:49,585
tomorrow at Survivor Series.

[Nigel] A great night in Portland, Oregon,
you don't wanna miss that.

01:10:30,492 --> 01:10:34,263
But speaking of that, back to tonight,
Team Ciampa ready for war

1213
01:10:34,330 --> 01:10:37,533
conspicuous by their absence,
a fourth team member.

1214
01:10:37,600 --> 01:10:40,803
Who will Ciampa find to complete the team?

[Beth] And you know, Ciampa's
let the world know that he's spoken

1216
01:10:44,006 --> 01:10:45,341
to a fourth potential member.

1217
01:10:45,407 --> 01:10:48,110
We do know that that person is here
but what we don't know is

1218
01:10:48,177 --> 01:10:51,046
whether or not that person
has accepted Ciampa's offer.

1219
01:10:51,113 --> 01:10:53,282
We'll have to wait and see and find out.

01:11:14,236 --> 01:11:16,872
this man's opponent,
Matt Riddle has disagreed

1228
01:11:16,939 --> 01:11:20,476
with everything that Finn Balor has said
since he returned here to NXT.

1229
01:11:20,542 --> 01:11:23,412
Tonight, it's a dream match
for the first time ever.

[Mauro] Oh, god.

1241
01:12:03,886 --> 01:12:05,487
[Finn] I built this place.

1242
01:12:05,554 --> 01:12:08,424
And when I was gone,
a bunch of little boys moved in.

That was the heart of NXT. Johnny Gargano.

Don't get me started about Matt Riddle.

1245

Something needed to be done about Finn
and I'm the man to do it.

I'm the bro to do it.

Matt Riddle here to save the day,

[Mauro] Wait a minute.
Sling Blade from Balor.

1257

[Matt] He'll never get it back.

Now really you're talking about
wanting to get in the ring with the best?

[Mauro] Inaugural universal champion.

You're about to
get in the ring with the best.

that's all Mondays and Tuesdays.

The shackles are off.

in tonight's men's Wargames match

when Johnny Gargano was
put on the injury list by Finn Balor.

Matt Riddle stepped up

one of the members of NXT

take over Raw and Smackdown,

with that roll-up victory over Ricochet

He has the best
men's NXT Takeover record at 8-1.

1312

taken to radio silence on social media.

1315
01:16:11,967 --> 01:16:16,204
He only sent a very cryptic message
to Matt Riddle that said, "hi."

more questions than answers lately.

relatively outspoken earlier on.

going to hold NXT's fort of the future?

Finn Balor looks calm, collected,

he is ready to fight.

But he is back here in NXT,
back with a big chip on his shoulder.

1339
01:17:55,137 --> 01:17:57,806
And you know that Matt Riddle
has the power and the talent

1340
01:17:57,873 --> 01:17:59,675
to knock that chip off the shoulder.

1341
01:18:00,075 --> 01:18:02,811
[Beth] Nice amateur wrestling attempt
and a takedown right there

1342

01:18:05,447 --> 01:18:07,449
[Nigel] Not concerned at this juncture.

1344
01:18:08,817 --> 01:18:12,721
Balor a lot more experience
in the pro game than Matt Riddle,

1345
01:18:14,523 --> 01:18:17,959
said that he used to be
proud of this place, meaning NXT,

1346
01:18:18,026 --> 01:18:19,461
now he calls it a joke.

1347
01:18:19,528 --> 01:18:22,330
[Mauro] Wow, they're going
for the quick submission is Matt Riddle,

1348
01:18:22,397 --> 01:18:23,932
former mixed martial artist.

1349
01:18:25,267 --> 01:18:28,036
Very well-versed
in both submissions and strikes,

1350
01:18:28,103 --> 01:18:30,172
we talk about
his decorated wrestling background

1351
01:18:30,238 --> 01:18:34,910
where he holds a wrestling victory
over current UFC champion John Jones.

1352
01:18:35,444 --> 01:18:39,047
Riddle of course wanting to add Finn Balor

1353
01:18:40,048 --> 01:18:44,252
to that impressive list of victims
that he's accruing here in NXT.

1354
01:18:44,719 --> 01:18:48,056
[Nigel] Again, nice roll from Balor
to prevent the Single Leg Takedown,

1355
01:18:49,057 --> 01:18:51,159
trying to get the back perhaps of Riddle.

1356
01:18:51,526 --> 01:18:54,062
[Mauro] Balor looking to return to
NXT number one with the bullet

1357
01:18:54,129 --> 01:18:57,766
but there Riddle now, oh, Bar and Beyond.

1358
01:18:58,266 --> 01:19:00,335
Nice reversal by Finn Balor.

1359
01:19:01,036 --> 01:19:02,737
[Beth] Little bit of size
and height advantage

1360
01:19:02,804 --> 01:19:06,041
for Matt Riddle in this matchup, making it
difficult for Balor to get leverage.

1361
01:19:06,541 --> 01:19:08,009
[Mauro] Let's not discount

1362
01:19:08,844 --> 01:19:10,345
the talents of Finn Balor.

1363
01:19:10,412 --> 01:19:14,516
He's been a champion
around the world including in Japan

1364
01:19:14,583 --> 01:19:19,354
and of course all of the success
here in NXT and beyond.

1365
01:19:21,623 --> 01:19:23,792
[Nigel] Aggressively
into the Side Headlock.

1366
01:19:25,293 --> 01:19:29,931
[Beth] That international experience
lends itself in this opportunity right now

1367
01:19:29,998 --> 01:19:31,399
for Balor to show what he's got.

1368
01:19:32,434 --> 01:19:35,036
[Mauro] Again for the first time
in three years,

1369
01:19:35,103 --> 01:19:37,773
Johnny Gargano
not participating in a Takeover.

1370
01:19:37,839 --> 01:19:41,343
I know that's gotta break
the heart of the heart and soul of NXT,

1371
01:19:41,409 --> 01:19:44,379
more NXT Takeover appearances
than anyone else

1372
01:19:44,446 --> 01:19:47,516
but thanks to Finn Balor,
Gargano forced to watch tonight.

1373
01:19:48,150 --> 01:19:54,422
But Matt Riddle seizing the opportunity to
bring Finn Balor back down to earth here

1374
01:19:54,489 --> 01:19:57,492
as Balor beautifully snatches
a Side Headlock.

1375
01:19:58,927 --> 01:20:00,695
[Nigel] Interesting strategy
from Balor here.

1376
01:20:00,762 --> 01:20:03,265
I would have thought
the big outset of this match that

1377
01:20:03,331 --> 01:20:06,468
it would have behooved Balor
to keep this match moving fast

1378
01:20:06,535 --> 01:20:08,336
and stay away from submission attempts,

1379
01:20:08,403 --> 01:20:10,972
but instead he's trying to
just grind down his opponent

1380
01:20:11,039 --> 01:20:12,073
with a Side Headlock.

1381
01:20:12,140 --> 01:20:14,309
[Beth] Well, keeping Matt Riddle close
to his body helps him

1382
01:20:14,376 --> 01:20:17,345
to avoid those strikes,
and we know Riddle's strikes are deadly.

1383
01:20:17,412 --> 01:20:20,148
[Mauro] Indiscretion definitely
has not been the better part of Balor.

1384
01:20:20,215 --> 01:20:24,252
He's been far from cautious since
returning to his former stomping ground

1385
01:20:24,319 --> 01:20:28,290
as now Matt Riddle, Karelin Lift again.

1386
01:20:29,591 --> 01:20:34,296
The power of Matt Riddle with these--
Deadlifting Finn Balor.

1387
01:20:35,096 --> 01:20:39,501
Oh, wait a minute, quick counter here
by Balor, shoulders are down for a two.

1388
01:20:40,669 --> 01:20:42,304
Riddle catches the kick.

1389
01:20:42,370 --> 01:20:45,140
Oh, uncorks a vicious right hand.

1390
01:20:45,207 --> 01:20:48,076
[Beth] That's those strikes that
we've seen from riddle in the past.

1391
01:20:50,011 --> 01:20:51,713
[Nigel] I see your point, Beth,
maybe I think--

1392
01:20:51,780 --> 01:20:53,648
Oh, and he's trying to
grab hold again and--

1393
01:20:53,715 --> 01:20:54,549
[Beth] Oh.

1394
01:20:55,584 --> 01:20:59,888
[Mauro] Oh, basement dropkick
by Finn Balor, goes for the cover,

1395
01:20:59,955 --> 01:21:01,223
Crossface, doesn't hook the leg,

1396
01:21:01,289 --> 01:21:06,027
only gets a two but immediately employs
a Rear Chinlock on Riddle.

1397
01:21:06,761 --> 01:21:11,233
[Nigel] That forearm underneath the jaw
could look for a Sleeper Hold

1398
01:21:11,299 --> 01:21:14,903
from this position but perhaps Riddle
would escape pretty easily.

1399
01:21:14,970 --> 01:21:18,206
[Mauro] Balor has the edge
and experience, a ring general

1400
01:21:18,273 --> 01:21:22,077
but Matt Riddle who has been
a prodigy only less than what,

1401
01:21:22,143 --> 01:21:24,312
five years in wrestling.

1402
01:21:24,746 --> 01:21:27,015
[Beth] Well, just see
how well-rounded Matt Riddle is,

1403
01:21:27,082 --> 01:21:29,184
he's got an acrobatic style,
mat wrestling style,

1404
01:21:29,251 --> 01:21:31,019
he could do pretty much anything.

1405
01:21:31,086 --> 01:21:33,855
[Mauro] Two of the most well-rounded
superstars in NXT

1406
01:21:33,922 --> 01:21:35,590
as Finn Balor gets a two-count.

1407
01:21:37,325 --> 01:21:40,028
[Nigel] Riddle certainly
took to the pro game very quickly.

1408
01:21:40,528 --> 01:21:43,832
[Mauro] And it's gonna come down to
who has the higher ring IQ,

1409
01:21:43,898 --> 01:21:46,768
who's able to make
those necessary adjustments

1410
01:21:46,835 --> 01:21:48,870
to pick up the pivotal victory.

1411
01:21:48,937 --> 01:21:51,840
And right now it's Finn Balor
putting the boots to Riddle.

1412
01:21:51,907 --> 01:21:54,843
[Beth] A technique looks like
it's gone out the window at this point.

1413
01:21:54,910 --> 01:21:58,179
[Mauro] And Finn Balor again,
whoa, Hesitation Dropkick.

1414
01:21:59,180 --> 01:22:02,717
Balor definitely showing hyper
aggression here, goes for the cover,

1415
01:22:02,784 --> 01:22:04,185
hooks the leg, Riddle escapes.

1416
01:22:04,920 --> 01:22:07,756
[Nigel] Look at the face on Riddle,
his mouth is wide open.

1417
01:22:07,822 --> 01:22:11,126
That means he's having trouble breathing,
he's gonna get oxygen to his lungs.

1418
01:22:11,693 --> 01:22:12,894
[Beth] Oh, that's nasty.

1419
01:22:12,961 --> 01:22:15,497
[Mauro] Fish-hooking the nose,
oh, dropping the point of the elbow

1420
01:22:15,563 --> 01:22:17,332
onto the cranium of Matt Riddle.

1421
01:22:17,399 --> 01:22:19,367
Balor was able to tell us that

1422
01:22:19,434 --> 01:22:22,871
he felt that Riddle would be
an incredible test for him personally,

1423
01:22:22,938 --> 01:22:26,341
so giving Riddle his just due.

1424
01:22:28,243 --> 01:22:31,079
[Beth] Balor continuing to land--
Well, like you said, Nigel,

1425
01:22:31,146 --> 01:22:36,017
he was gasping for air earlier
and Balor continually wearing him down.

1426
01:22:37,285 --> 01:22:40,555
[Mauro] Of course we have
the men's Wargames match

1427
01:22:40,622 --> 01:22:44,459
coming up the double cage of carnage
as Riddle is sent to the outside

1428
01:22:44,526 --> 01:22:49,397
and there's Finn Balor launching himself
at Matt Riddle through the ropes.

1429
01:22:49,998 --> 01:22:52,968
Balor involved in the first cage match

1430
01:22:53,034 --> 01:22:56,471
in NXT defeating Samoa Joe
at Takeover: The End.

1431
01:22:57,973 --> 01:23:02,010
So he knows a thing or two about cages,
he knows a thing or two about winning,

1432
01:23:02,310 --> 01:23:06,648
and he obviously knows a thing or two
about what it takes to be a champion,

1433
01:23:06,715 --> 01:23:07,949
goes for the cover.

1434
01:23:10,819 --> 01:23:13,455
[Nigel] Maintain the offense
now Finn Balor.

1435
01:23:14,289 --> 01:23:17,459
We take a look-- Look at the impact,
the one boot to the side.

1436
01:23:17,525 --> 01:23:18,860
Oh, my lord.

1437
01:23:18,927 --> 01:23:22,163
[Beth] Well, did you see
Matt Riddle's jaw go flying?

1438
01:23:22,230 --> 01:23:24,332
[they groan]

1439
01:23:24,399 --> 01:23:26,201
[Mauro] Lucky a few teeth didn't go flying

1440
01:23:26,267 --> 01:23:32,173
as Finn Balor methodically continues to
systematically wear down Matt Riddle.

1441
01:23:33,241 --> 01:23:35,210
[Nigel] Riddle very lucky
didn't get knocked out,

1442
01:23:35,276 --> 01:23:38,480
there's actually a nerve
that runs down inside the jaw,

1443
01:23:38,546 --> 01:23:41,182
and if you can dislocate the jaw,
you can knock someone out cold.

1444
01:23:41,549 --> 01:23:45,720
[Mauro] Oh, and Finn Balor
continues to try to knock out Matt Riddle

1445
01:23:45,787 --> 01:23:47,489
with these kicks to the face.

1446
01:23:47,856 --> 01:23:51,159
[Beth] It's a very methodical attack
by Finn Balor.

1447
01:23:51,226 --> 01:23:54,229
[Mauro] Of course Balor has educated feet
known for his Coup de Grace,

1448
01:23:54,963 --> 01:23:58,500
the double stomp
and now Balor soaking up the-- Well,

1449
01:23:58,566 --> 01:24:01,436
mix of cheers
from the crowd here in Chicago.

1450
01:24:03,138 --> 01:24:06,207
Lightning-fast offense by Matt Riddle,

1451
01:24:06,708 --> 01:24:09,377
Roundhouse Kick
knocks Balor down momentarily.

1452
01:24:09,844 --> 01:24:12,180
Flying Forearm into the corner,
Matt Riddle,

1453
01:24:12,247 --> 01:24:14,282
Exploder Suplex out of the corner.

1454
01:24:14,682 --> 01:24:17,952
[Beth] Lesson learned, you don't take
your eyes off of Matt Riddle for a second.

1455
01:24:18,019 --> 01:24:19,320
[Mauro] Oh [indistinct] by Riddle.

1456
01:24:19,387 --> 01:24:20,622
Bro-ton!

1457
01:24:21,056 --> 01:24:24,192
Cover by Matt Riddle,
looking for the biggest one of his career,

1458
01:24:24,259 --> 01:24:25,160
gets a two.

1459
01:24:26,361 --> 01:24:29,063
[Nigel] Able to shift the momentum
back in his favor now,

1460
01:24:29,130 --> 01:24:33,835
a momentary pause,
a respite as Balor looks for one himself,

1461
01:24:33,902 --> 01:24:35,370
he's not gonna get it. Oh!

1462
01:24:37,539 --> 01:24:40,275
[Mauro] Matt Riddle showing off the fact
that he knows a thing or two

1463
01:24:40,341 --> 01:24:45,580
about utilizing his feet, of course,
the barefoot practitioner here,

1464
01:24:45,647 --> 01:24:48,349
opening up,
really mixing up his attack now.

1465
01:24:48,416 --> 01:24:52,087
Using a cavalcade of kicks
but also known for those forearms,

1466
01:24:52,153 --> 01:24:55,990
the knees and the--
There it is, that forearm from the corner.

1467
01:24:56,891 --> 01:24:58,793
Oh, countered by Balor.

1468
01:24:59,594 --> 01:25:03,198
[Nigel] Lying in wait, playing possum,
call it what you want, it is effective.

1469
01:25:03,264 --> 01:25:05,867
[Mauro] Reversal on the Irish Whip. Wow.

1470
01:25:05,934 --> 01:25:07,802
Flying forearm by Balor.

1471
01:25:07,869 --> 01:25:09,838
[crowd cheers]

1472
01:25:09,904 --> 01:25:12,907
[Nigel] That ability
of Finn Balor to stop momentum

1473
01:25:12,974 --> 01:25:14,509
shifted back in his favor.

1474
01:25:14,576 --> 01:25:17,378
[Beth] A lot of the emotion
tied up into this matchup.

1475
01:25:17,445 --> 01:25:19,881
[Nigel] Looking for the Sling Blade,
got caught.

1476
01:25:19,948 --> 01:25:21,483
[Mauro] Oh, Sling Blade, a maneuver,

1477
01:25:21,549 --> 01:25:23,852
he picked up in his foray
in the land of the rising sun.

1478
01:25:23,918 --> 01:25:25,587
Ankle Lock by Matt Riddle.

1479
01:25:25,653 --> 01:25:28,156
Riddle been compared
favorably to Kurt Angle

1480
01:25:28,223 --> 01:25:30,258
and how quickly he took to the mat game,

1481
01:25:30,325 --> 01:25:33,194
and here Matt Riddle with the Ankle Lock
but up kicks from Balor.

1482
01:25:34,095 --> 01:25:37,665
Oh, and Riddle able to adjust
and go up to the other ankle.

1483
01:25:37,732 --> 01:25:40,468
[Nigel] Oh, if Balor
tries to escape in the same way--

1484
01:25:40,535 --> 01:25:42,804
Oh, Brutal Heel Kick.

1485
01:25:44,772 --> 01:25:46,975
Riddle could try to drop for the scissors.

1486
01:25:47,542 --> 01:25:49,744
Prevent Balor from getting into the ropes.

1487
01:25:50,311 --> 01:25:53,515
[Beth] So much pressure on the ankle
but also in the knee and the hip.

1488
01:25:53,581 --> 01:25:55,183
[Balor groans]

1489
01:25:55,250 --> 01:25:59,254
[Mauro] Balor able to reach
that bottom rope, situational awareness.

1490
01:25:59,320 --> 01:26:00,955
[Nigel] Oh, that wasn't nice.

1491
01:26:01,022 --> 01:26:02,991
A kick, not getting a clean broke--

1492
01:26:03,057 --> 01:26:08,563
[Mauro] Well, Finn Balor hasn't exactly
been very nice in his return to NXT.

1493
01:26:08,630 --> 01:26:12,500
All is fair in love and well,
NXT Takeover Wargames.

1494
01:26:12,567 --> 01:26:15,370
[Nigel] Two wrongs don't make it right
but this could be very wrong

1495
01:26:15,436 --> 01:26:16,538
for Finn Balor.

1496
01:26:16,604 --> 01:26:18,740
[Mauro] The strength of Matt Riddle

1497
01:26:18,806 --> 01:26:22,544
and Balor holding on
desperately to that top rope.

1498
01:26:23,545 --> 01:26:25,980
[Nigel] [indistinct] refusing to release.

1499
01:26:27,415 --> 01:26:30,919
[Mauro] Well-placed knees
to the thigh of Matt Riddle and boy,

1500
01:26:30,985 --> 01:26:34,656
Balor is not gonna give up that grip easy.

1501
01:26:34,722 --> 01:26:37,592
[Nigel] He wants the German Suplex,
now fingertips away.

1502
01:26:37,659 --> 01:26:39,060
[they groan]

1503
01:26:39,127 --> 01:26:41,229
[Mauro] Good counter
by Balor with the back elbow,

1504
01:26:41,296 --> 01:26:42,830
another one breaks the grip of Riddle.

1505
01:26:42,897 --> 01:26:45,166
Oh, but Balor
unable to support that weight.

1506
01:26:45,233 --> 01:26:46,167
[Nigel] Oh, wow, wow.

1507
01:26:47,035 --> 01:26:49,103
Finn's just gonna be careful
and I'm sure--

1508
01:26:49,170 --> 01:26:51,806
[Mauro] And now, there is the visible
target that you know, Matt Riddle--

1509
01:26:51,873 --> 01:26:54,242
Oh, wait a minute! Wait a minute!

1510
01:26:56,077 --> 01:26:58,880
Finn Balor exploding with the dropkick.

1511
01:27:00,048 --> 01:27:03,017
[Nigel] A rush of adrenaline
through the body of Finn Balor,

1512
01:27:03,084 --> 01:27:04,719
fighting through the pain.

1513
01:27:05,186 --> 01:27:06,888
Watch the impact again.

1514
01:27:06,955 --> 01:27:11,426
Oh, those boots
have paid dividends for Finn Balor.

1515
01:27:12,260 --> 01:27:15,997
[Beth] Balor struggling to stand,
walk, his calf may be seizing--

1516
01:27:16,664 --> 01:27:18,967
[Mauro] Oh, the German Suplex
with the release--

1517
01:27:19,033 --> 01:27:22,870
Although Riddle landing on his feet
looks for that final flash,

1518
01:27:22,937 --> 01:27:24,606
the big trigger-- Oh, wow.

1519
01:27:24,672 --> 01:27:26,708
German Suplex with the bridge!

1520
01:27:26,774 --> 01:27:29,777
Suplex and a two-count for Matt Riddle.

1521
01:27:30,111 --> 01:27:32,347
[Nigel] But the damage
to the midsection of Matt Riddle

1522
01:27:32,413 --> 01:27:35,383
made it very difficult for him
to bridge with the German Suplex

1523
01:27:35,450 --> 01:27:36,651
pinfall attempt there.

1524
01:27:36,718 --> 01:27:39,587
[Mauro] Both warriors
wearing the vestiges of battle,

1525
01:27:39,654 --> 01:27:43,024
the knee of Finn Balor,
the midsection of Matt Riddle.

1526
01:27:43,091 --> 01:27:47,862
[crowd cheers]

1527
01:27:47,929 --> 01:27:49,764
[Nigel] NXT universe

1528
01:27:51,232 --> 01:27:53,468
is showing that progression,
this could be the end.

1529
01:27:53,534 --> 01:27:56,104
[Mauro] Oh, Ripcord-- Whoa, the knee

1530
01:27:57,005 --> 01:28:01,175
by Matt Riddle
but Finn Balor staggered but not done.

1531
01:28:02,377 --> 01:28:03,711
Balor lands on his feet,

1532
01:28:03,778 --> 01:28:04,946
Double-Leg Takedown.

1533
01:28:05,013 --> 01:28:06,447
There was the Double Stomp.

1534
01:28:06,514 --> 01:28:09,450
The Double Stomp by Balor
but he's nursing that knee.

1535
01:28:09,784 --> 01:28:11,486
Oh, Sling Blade.

1536
01:28:11,552 --> 01:28:13,421
Sling Blade by Finn Balor.

1537
01:28:13,488 --> 01:28:16,391
[crowd cheers]

1538
01:28:16,457 --> 01:28:20,128
[Beth] The Double Stomp
to the injured midsection of Matt Riddle.

1539
01:28:21,629 --> 01:28:24,032
[Nigel] And now Balor is prone to attack.

1540
01:28:24,932 --> 01:28:29,370
[Mauro] Oh, the Spear
by Riddle catches Finn Balor.

1541
01:28:29,437 --> 01:28:32,373
[crowd cheers]

1542
01:28:32,440 --> 01:28:37,078
[Mauro] The Original Bro
looking to steal the show.

1543
01:28:37,145 --> 01:28:40,448
What's to vanquish? Finn Balor.

1544
01:28:40,515 --> 01:28:42,417
[Beth] Riddle is breathing fire.

1545
01:28:42,483 --> 01:28:46,688
[crowd cheers]

1546
01:28:46,754 --> 01:28:50,325
[Mauro] Jackhammer or is it Brohammer?

1547
01:28:51,125 --> 01:28:53,294
-[Beth] Oh!
-[Mauro] Balor doesn't care.

1548
01:28:53,361 --> 01:28:54,429
He kicks out.

1549
01:28:55,163 --> 01:28:59,267
[Nigel] Whatever you wanna call with it.
It was not enough to beat Finn Balor.

1550
01:29:00,034 --> 01:29:03,504
Look here. It was Balor
with the offense attack. Whoa!

1551
01:29:03,571 --> 01:29:05,740
But Riddle with the Spear.

1552
01:29:06,941 --> 01:29:09,577
[Beth] And Riddle
hoisted Balor high up into the air

1553
01:29:09,644 --> 01:29:15,683
and the impact on that Jackhammer,
Balor barely able to kick out.

1554
01:29:15,917 --> 01:29:18,319
[Mauro] You know, Bill Goldberg
somewhere cheering on the fact

1555
01:29:18,386 --> 01:29:19,887
that Finn Balor did kick out.

1556
01:29:21,155 --> 01:29:23,291
WWE Hall of Famer, of course,

1557
01:29:23,958 --> 01:29:27,261
two men who are on their way to

1558
01:29:27,328 --> 01:29:31,299
becoming potential
WWE Hall of Famers here, Riddle and Balor.

1559
01:29:31,366 --> 01:29:34,202
Balor landing on his feet momentarily
but the strength of Riddle--

1560
01:29:34,268 --> 01:29:35,870
No, there's Finn Balor.

1561
01:29:35,937 --> 01:29:37,705
[crowd cheers]

1562
01:29:37,772 --> 01:29:39,474
[Beth] Balor following up quickly.

1563
01:29:39,540 --> 01:29:41,275
[they groan]

1564
01:29:41,342 --> 01:29:44,545
[Mauro] And by the 1916 DDT,
and there's the cover,

1565
01:29:44,612 --> 01:29:46,848
hooks the leg-- Oh, my!

1566
01:29:46,914 --> 01:29:50,451
Matt Riddle able to keep fighting

1567
01:29:50,785 --> 01:29:54,522
much to the chagrin of Finn Balor.

1568
01:29:54,822 --> 01:29:57,525
[Nigel] The look on Balor's face
says it all,

1569
01:29:57,592 --> 01:30:02,563
despair and frustration
but there is an inkling of hope,

1570
01:30:02,630 --> 01:30:04,532
an inkling of determination.

1571
01:30:04,599 --> 01:30:09,203
[crowd cheers]

1572
01:30:09,270 --> 01:30:13,975
[Mauro] And now, Finn Balor unloading
with the stomps to Matt Riddle.

1573
01:30:14,375 --> 01:30:16,577
[Beth] And this time,
Riddle not quick to get a--

1574
01:30:16,644 --> 01:30:18,346
-[Mauro] Oh, no!
-[they groan]

1575
01:30:18,413 --> 01:30:19,347
[Beth] Hold on!

1576
01:30:19,414 --> 01:30:21,115
[they groan]

1577
01:30:21,182 --> 01:30:22,950
[Mauro] Oh, the Bro to Sleep.

1578
01:30:23,017 --> 01:30:26,854
-Bro to Sleep, it's Balor asleep.
-[Nigel] Cover him.

1579
01:30:26,921 --> 01:30:30,691
[Mauro] Has Balor been put up
by Matt Riddle? What is he waiting for?

1580
01:30:31,959 --> 01:30:35,229
Oh, no. Matt Riddle wanting to put a dot

1581
01:30:35,296 --> 01:30:40,034
in the exclamation point of what would be
the biggest win of his career.

1582
01:30:40,101 --> 01:30:41,302
Floating Bro!

1583
01:30:41,602 --> 01:30:45,573
But he crashes hard
onto the knees of Finn Balor.

1584
01:30:45,640 --> 01:30:49,210
Woo Dropkick. Woo Dropkick by Balor.

1585
01:30:49,277 --> 01:30:52,013
[crowd cheers]

1586
01:30:52,079 --> 01:30:55,850
[Nigel] Oh, Riddle's in the wrong part
of town and Balor goes to the top.

1587
01:30:55,917 --> 01:30:59,620
[Mauro] And Balor going
all the way to the high rent district.

1588
01:30:59,687 --> 01:31:01,055
Is he able to get him?

1589
01:31:01,122 --> 01:31:02,757
No, he doesn't connect
with the Coup de Grace.

1590
01:31:02,824 --> 01:31:04,158
[Beth] The ankle injury.

1591
01:31:04,225 --> 01:31:06,861
-[Nigel] Oh, the bad leg gave away.
-[Mauro] Oh, Bromission!

1592
01:31:06,928 --> 01:31:09,597
Riddle's got him
in the throes of the Bromission.

1593
01:31:09,664 --> 01:31:12,333
Balor desperately trying
to reach the rope.

1594
01:31:12,400 --> 01:31:15,770
[Nigel] Riddle's version of
Eddie Bravo's Twister, is this enough?

1595
01:31:15,837 --> 01:31:18,739
[they groan]

1596
01:31:18,806 --> 01:31:21,509
[Mauro] Riddle, keeping Balor
far from the ropes.

1597
01:31:21,576 --> 01:31:24,212
-[Nigel] Oh, and escaped.
-[Mauro] What an escape by Balor?

1598
01:31:24,278 --> 01:31:26,380
-Back to-- Oh, what a kick!
-[Nigel] Wow. That is nasty.

1599
01:31:26,447 --> 01:31:29,817
[Mauro] What a kick by Riddle
dropping Balor on the spot.

1600
01:31:29,884 --> 01:31:32,320
[Nigel] That went through
the jaw of Finn Balor.

1601
01:31:32,954 --> 01:31:34,489
He's barely able to stand.

1602
01:31:34,555 --> 01:31:37,091
[Mauro] Incredible conditioning--
Wait a minute.

1603
01:31:37,158 --> 01:31:40,628
Finn Balor, 1916 DDT!

1604
01:31:40,695 --> 01:31:44,098
-1916 DDT!
-[crowd] One, two, three!

1605
01:31:44,532 --> 01:31:45,366
[bell rings]

1606
01:31:45,433 --> 01:31:49,370
[Mauro] And in 2019
Balor is victorious in NXT!

1607
01:31:49,437 --> 01:31:52,139
[announcer] Finn Balor!

1608
01:31:52,206 --> 01:31:53,674
[rock music plays]

1609
01:31:53,741 --> 01:31:56,978
[Mauro] The Prince is back.

1610
01:32:02,650 --> 01:32:06,721
What a huge victory for Finn Balor,

1611
01:32:06,787 --> 01:32:12,460
but both he and Matt Riddle paying
the price of what was a thriller,

1612
01:32:12,527 --> 01:32:16,163
what was a picked battle, what was a match

1613
01:32:16,230 --> 01:32:21,269
that lived up to the hype
for the first time ever Finn Balor,

1614
01:32:21,335 --> 01:32:23,938
Matt Riddle in an NXT ring.

1615
01:32:24,005 --> 01:32:26,474
[rock music continues]

1616
01:32:26,541 --> 01:32:30,411
[Nigel] An incredible display of
competitiveness

1617
01:32:30,478 --> 01:32:33,281
of guts and great determination.

1618
01:32:33,347 --> 01:32:37,585
[Beth] Balor came-- Well, he came
into in exactly what he wanted to do.

1619
01:32:37,652 --> 01:32:39,020
Take a look at this moment.

1620
01:32:39,086 --> 01:32:44,492
Riddle had him here, huge Bro to Sleep
but it would not be enough.

1621
01:32:44,559 --> 01:32:47,495
He wasted too much time making the cover.

1622
01:32:47,862 --> 01:32:51,566
[Nigel] And looking for the Floating Bro
and lying in wait, the knees came up

1623
01:32:51,632 --> 01:32:53,000
from Finn Balor.

1624
01:32:53,067 --> 01:32:55,903
And then would follow up
[indistinct] in the corner

1625
01:32:55,970 --> 01:32:57,939
and here getting caught, no!

1626
01:32:58,439 --> 01:33:01,275
1916, 1916!

1627
01:33:01,342 --> 01:33:03,978
An important year
in the history of Ireland.

1628
01:33:04,278 --> 01:33:09,116
Tonight, an imperative night
in the history of Finn Balor.

1629
01:33:09,183 --> 01:33:14,522
[rock music plays]

1630
01:33:14,589 --> 01:33:18,326
[Mauro] Finn Balor is back on Broadway.

1631
01:33:18,392 --> 01:33:25,132

1634
01:33:31,505 --> 01:33:35,710
[woman] I said I was gonna elevate
the division and I did exactly that.

1635
01:33:35,776 --> 01:33:38,346
[woman 2] People don't just lose
when they get in the ring with me.

1636
01:33:38,412 --> 01:33:41,349
-They lose days off of their career.
-[woman 3] There's gonna be a war.

1637
01:33:41,415 --> 01:33:43,584
And I came ready for a war.

1638
01:33:44,118 --> 01:33:45,686
See you at Survivor Series.

1639
01:33:45,753 --> 01:33:46,687
Bring your best.

01:34:06,240 --> 01:34:10,311
playing host to NXT Takeover Wargames.

1646
01:34:10,644 --> 01:34:15,182
The winds of change, will they blow here
throughout the windy city?

1647
01:34:15,249 --> 01:34:21,689
Wanna thank "Ricky, (Guitar Remix)"
by Denzel Curry from the album Zuu.

1648
01:34:21,756 --> 01:34:25,026
It's an NXT-Loud theme song
for NXT Takeover Wargames

1649
01:34:25,092 --> 01:34:27,628
available now on Apple Music and Spotify

1650
01:34:28,195 --> 01:34:30,097

01:34:30,164 --> 01:34:34,835
spinner Denzel Curry,
a huge NXT fan went back to the studio,

1652
01:34:34,902 --> 01:34:40,441
remixed "Ricky" for tonight's
NXT Takeover Wargames event.

1653
01:34:40,808 --> 01:34:43,511
And wow, what a night it has been?

1654
01:34:43,577 --> 01:34:45,112
What a hectic start to the night

1655
01:34:45,179 --> 01:34:47,381
and we wanna give you a medical update

1656
01:34:47,448 --> 01:34:50,651
as to what transpired earlier tonight
when we kicked things off

1657
01:34:50,718 --> 01:34:52,853
with the first-ever
women's Wargames match.

1658
01:34:52,920 --> 01:34:55,389
Mia Yim was supposed to be
a member of Team Ripley.

1659
01:34:55,456 --> 01:34:56,824
She was attacked backstage.

1660
01:34:56,891 --> 01:35:01,629
She was brought to a medical facility
where she is receiving a checkup.

1661
01:35:01,696 --> 01:35:07,501
Now, as for Tegan Nox who was destroyed
by her former best friend, Dakota Kai,

1662
01:35:07,568 --> 01:35:10,504
Nox also on her way to a medical facility

1663
01:35:10,571 --> 01:35:15,209
to have an MRI done
on her surgically repaired knee.

1664
01:35:15,276 --> 01:35:19,346
What a night it has been here, Nigel,
and we wish Mia Yim

1665
01:35:19,413 --> 01:35:21,882
and Tegan Nox the best in their recovery.

1666
01:35:21,949 --> 01:35:24,351
Oh, we absolutely did.
But after everything that happened,

1667
01:35:24,418 --> 01:35:27,021
Team Ripley were able to win
the Wargames match

1668
01:35:27,088 --> 01:35:29,657
despite a four-on-two advantage.

1669
01:35:29,724 --> 01:35:34,695
And now, breaking news,
following Takeover Wargames tonight

1670
01:35:34,762 --> 01:35:40,901
Rhea Ripley will join Triple H
on Facebook Live with a huge announcement.

1671
01:35:40,968 --> 01:35:45,873
Ripley will announce
the members of the women's NXT team

1672
01:35:45,940 --> 01:35:50,611
in the traditional Survivor Series match
for tomorrow night at Survivor Series.

1673
01:35:54,782 --> 01:36:00,121
-[siren wails]
-[crowd cheers]

1674
01:36:15,736 --> 01:36:18,205
[Beth] Three battle-ready warriors

1675
01:36:18,272 --> 01:36:20,708
charge head-first into belly of the beast,

1676
01:36:20,775 --> 01:36:23,210
but are they going to be
joined by their fourth member

1677
01:36:23,277 --> 01:36:26,614
to even the odds
against NXT's most gilded platoon?

1678
01:36:26,680 --> 01:36:29,683
Wargames happens now.

1679
01:36:32,319 --> 01:36:35,156
[man] The best of the best,
they come here to see

1680
01:36:35,222 --> 01:36:37,358
if they can measure up
to the Undisputed Era.

1681
01:36:37,424 --> 01:36:42,930
[Mauro] All four members
of the Undisputed Era hold gold.

1682
01:36:42,997 --> 01:36:48,169
[music plays]

1683
01:36:50,171 --> 01:36:51,472
[bell rings]

1684
01:36:54,208 --> 01:36:56,343
[man] That's what I love about NXT,

1685
01:36:56,410 --> 01:36:59,513
they wouldn't try to
dethrone the Undisputed Era.

1686
01:36:59,580 --> 01:37:01,448
-[Beth] Oh, wait.
-[Mauro] Oh, my god, he's done it.

1687
01:37:01,515 --> 01:37:04,418
Roderick Strong protects the title.

1688
01:37:04,485 --> 01:37:05,853
Well guess what?

1689
01:37:05,920 --> 01:37:09,456
[Mauro] Like a pack of dogs,
the Undisputed Era

1690
01:37:09,523 --> 01:37:12,927
all over Dominik Dijakovic and Keith Lee.

1691
01:37:12,993 --> 01:37:15,362
That is never going to happen.

1692
01:37:15,429 --> 01:37:16,664
[Beth] This is despicable.

1693
01:37:16,730 --> 01:37:19,066
[man] No one crosses the Undisputed Era.

1694
01:37:19,133 --> 01:37:24,839
[man 2] We are the most dominant force,
not only in NXT, but all of WWE.

1695
01:37:24,905 --> 01:37:31,378
[music plays]

1696
01:37:31,445 --> 01:37:37,952
[crowd cheers]

1697
01:37:38,018 --> 01:37:39,587
[man] Returning from an injury

1698
01:37:39,653 --> 01:37:43,591
that most professional athletes
never return from.

1699
01:37:45,960 --> 01:37:47,461
[man 2] Daddy's home.

1700
01:37:48,395 --> 01:37:51,098
[Beth] That means trouble
for the Undisputed Era.

1701
01:37:51,165 --> 01:37:53,634
[man 2] If no one claim to be taking over,

1702
01:37:53,701 --> 01:37:55,202
I do have a problem with that.

1703
01:37:55,669 --> 01:37:57,972
[Mauro] Looking to take out
the Undisputed Era.

1704
01:37:58,038 --> 01:38:01,909
This is now absolute bedlam in the ring.

1705
01:38:01,976 --> 01:38:02,876
[man] Goldie.

1706
01:38:02,943 --> 01:38:07,214
[Mauro] Oh, my god, the Undisputed Era's
troubles continue to grow.

1707
01:38:07,281 --> 01:38:09,350
Feast your eyes on this.

1708
01:38:10,050 --> 01:38:14,288
[man 2] You're gonna have to wait.
Daddy's going to war.

1709
01:38:14,355 --> 01:38:17,858
[siren wails]

1710
01:38:17,925 --> 01:38:19,793
[man] Wargames.

1711
01:38:19,860 --> 01:38:23,831
We all know this is the biggest weekend
of our entire careers.

1712
01:38:24,565 --> 01:38:28,135
[man 2] Do you think that friendship
is gonna carry you to a victory?

1713
01:38:28,469 --> 01:38:29,436
Boys.

1714
01:38:30,437 --> 01:38:35,142
[Mauro] Adam Cole securing
the advantage at Wargames.

1715
01:38:35,209 --> 01:38:37,811
[man] The stress hits, they look
at one another, and they don't know

1716
01:38:37,878 --> 01:38:39,146
if they can count on each other.

1717
01:38:39,213 --> 01:38:40,981
We just gotta expose that weakness.

1718
01:38:41,048 --> 01:38:43,183
I don't fall on the same page,
but does it matter?

1719
01:38:43,250 --> 01:38:47,321
They've made a mistake of
pissing off the baddest men

1720
01:38:47,388 --> 01:38:49,056
this roster has to offer.

1721
01:38:49,123 --> 01:38:51,659
[man] We're gonna hurt them
and change them.

1722
01:38:51,725 --> 01:38:52,860
[man 2] This is Wargames.

1723
01:38:52,927 --> 01:38:54,628
[man 3] They think they're gonna
come into our match?

1724
01:38:54,695 --> 01:38:56,563
[man 4] This is decimation,
this is destruction.

1725
01:38:56,630 --> 01:38:58,432
[man 3] And take what's ours?
I don't think so.

1726
01:38:58,499 --> 01:39:01,135
The mission to dismantle Undisputed Era.

1727
01:39:01,869 --> 01:39:04,972
[man] We're gonna make sure that
they remember to never mess

1728
01:39:05,039 --> 01:39:06,040
with the Undisputed Era.

1729
01:39:06,473 --> 01:39:09,410
You boys walk into Wargames as a unit,

1730
01:39:09,910 --> 01:39:14,381
you might walk out
on top of the world or you might not.

1731
01:39:18,485 --> 01:39:21,622
[crowd cheers]

1732
01:39:21,689 --> 01:39:22,690
[bell rings]

1733
01:39:22,756 --> 01:39:28,495
[announcer] The following contest
is the men's Wargames match.

1734
01:39:30,464 --> 01:39:33,167
The rules of the match are as follows,

1735
01:39:33,867 --> 01:39:36,637
two teams will be contained
in separate cages

1736
01:39:36,704 --> 01:39:39,373
with one member of each team
starting the match.

1737
01:39:39,907 --> 01:39:41,342
After five minutes,

1738
01:39:41,408 --> 01:39:46,981
a member from the Undisputed Era
will be released to enter the match.

1739
01:39:47,314 --> 01:39:48,849
After a three-minute period,

1740
01:39:48,916 --> 01:39:52,353
alternating members
from each team will enter the match

1741
01:39:52,419 --> 01:39:55,889
until all competitors are inside the cage.

1742
01:39:56,190 --> 01:40:01,195
Once all competitors have entered,
Wargames officially begins.

1743
01:40:02,663 --> 01:40:07,000
Escape or the leave the cage,
you forfeit the match for your team.

1744
01:40:07,368 --> 01:40:11,005
The only way to win the match is
by pinfall or submission.

1745
01:40:12,139 --> 01:40:19,079
And now let the Wargames begin!

1746
01:40:19,146 --> 01:40:22,716
[crowd cheers]

1747
01:40:22,783 --> 01:40:29,089
[music starts]

1748
01:40:37,398 --> 01:40:42,236
[announcer] Introducing first,
the team of the NXT tag team champions,

1749
01:40:42,302 --> 01:40:44,738
Bobby Fish and Kyle O'Reilly,

1750
01:40:44,805 --> 01:40:49,076
the NXT North American champion,
Roderick Strong,

1751
01:40:49,143 --> 01:40:53,947
and the NXT champion, Adam Cole.

1752
01:40:54,715 --> 01:41:00,287
The Undisputed Era!

1753
01:41:01,054 --> 01:41:04,825
[Mauro] It has been a November to
remember for the Undisputed Era,

1754
01:41:04,892 --> 01:41:09,229
especially their captain,
Adam Cole who defeated Dominik Dijakovic

1755
01:41:09,296 --> 01:41:13,500
in a ladder match to secure
the advantage here tonight.

1756
01:41:15,769 --> 01:41:17,938
And the Undisputed Era been involved in,

1757
01:41:18,005 --> 01:41:24,445
well, all three men's Wargames matches,
they are one and one here tonight

1758
01:41:24,711 --> 01:41:26,180
drapped in gold,

1759
01:41:26,246 --> 01:41:29,349
Adam Cole,
from the beginning of the month,

1760
01:41:29,416 --> 01:41:32,619
November 1st,
when he faced Daniel Bryan at Smackdown

1761
01:41:32,686 --> 01:41:35,622
defeating Seth Rollins on Raw,

1762
01:41:35,689 --> 01:41:38,926
to what the Undisputed Era
did last night on Smackdown

1763
01:41:38,992 --> 01:41:43,530
I mean, across all three brands,
has anyone had a better month

1764
01:41:43,597 --> 01:41:45,866
than Adam Cole, BayBay?

1765
01:41:45,933 --> 01:41:50,170
-[music starts]
-[crowd cheers]

1766
01:41:50,237 --> 01:41:53,841
[Nigel] I don't think there's anybody
who can say they [indistinct].

1767
01:41:53,907 --> 01:41:59,246
But now, it's about tonight who has
the best night at Takeover Wargames.

1768
01:41:59,813 --> 01:42:03,550
[announcer] And their opponents,
first from Wichita Falls, Texas,

1769
01:42:03,617 --> 01:42:09,189
weighing at 340 pounds, Keith Lee.

1770
01:42:09,256 --> 01:42:12,793
[Beth] Keith Lee has been calling himself
the first of his kind

1771
01:42:12,860 --> 01:42:16,797
and his performances as of late
have proved just that.

1772
01:42:16,864 --> 01:42:21,168
What an unbelievable athlete
and what an asset to Team Ciampa

1773
01:42:21,235 --> 01:42:22,269
Keith Lee is.

1774
01:42:22,336 --> 01:42:27,474
[Mauro] Here in Chicago, you don't want
no problem, want no problem with Lee.

1775
01:42:29,009 --> 01:42:31,211
[Nigel] And incredible massive athlete

1776
01:42:31,278 --> 01:42:34,148
who flies like a man
a hundred pounds lighter than him.

1777
01:42:34,615 --> 01:42:36,116
Speaking of which.

1778
01:42:36,183 --> 01:42:40,020
[crowd cheers]

1779
01:42:40,087 --> 01:42:44,892
[announcer] Next from Worcester,
Massachusetts, weighting in at 270 pounds,

1780
01:42:44,958 --> 01:42:49,029
Dominik Dijakovic!

1781
01:42:49,096 --> 01:42:53,734
[Mauro] Dominik Dijakovic and Keith Lee
with a thrilling series of matches

1782
01:42:53,800 --> 01:42:58,071
that really defied everything
two men their size

1783
01:42:58,138 --> 01:43:00,507
doing what they're able to do
in the squared circle.

1784
01:43:00,574 --> 01:43:03,043
They have put their rivalry
on the back further,

1785
01:43:03,110 --> 01:43:05,712
they are loyal to the soil,
they are here now

1786
01:43:05,779 --> 01:43:09,082
to try to secure victory for Team Ciampa.

1787
01:43:09,149 --> 01:43:13,420
Dijakovic, of course,
battled Cole in that ladder match

1788
01:43:13,487 --> 01:43:16,190
to determine
who would secure the advantage tonight

1789
01:43:16,256 --> 01:43:18,792
and he is staring daggers at Cole.

1790
01:43:22,095 --> 01:43:27,868
[music starts]

1791
01:43:27,935 --> 01:43:33,206
[crowd cheers]

1792
01:43:39,613 --> 01:43:44,051
[announcer] And from Milwaukee,
Wisconsin, weighing at 201 pounds,

1793
01:43:44,117 --> 01:43:47,688
Tommaso Ciampa!

1794
01:43:49,022 --> 01:43:52,359
[Mauro] It was here in Chicago
where Tommaso Ciampa

1795
01:43:52,426 --> 01:43:55,896
altered the trajectory of his career

1796
01:43:56,530 --> 01:44:01,435
and Daddy is indeed ready for war.

1797
01:44:03,604 --> 01:44:06,206
[Nigel] Paint it up for a conflict

1798
01:44:06,273 --> 01:44:09,610
the like of which we perhaps
have never seen before.

1799
01:44:09,676 --> 01:44:13,013
[Mauro] But it's not so full team
ahead for Team Ciampa.

1800
01:44:13,080 --> 01:44:15,882
Remember, they are one man short.

1801
01:44:15,949 --> 01:44:18,051
Ciampa mentioned
that they had asked someone

1802
01:44:18,118 --> 01:44:21,688
to be a part of the team,
that person is here,

1803
01:44:22,022 --> 01:44:23,423
but we don't know if--

1804
01:44:23,490 --> 01:44:27,995
Well, Ciampa marching his way
to the Wargames structure.

1805
01:44:29,229 --> 01:44:31,431
[Nigel] No discretion evidently.

1806
01:44:31,498 --> 01:44:32,866
[Mauro] He's the captain.

1807
01:44:32,933 --> 01:44:34,134
He can do what he likes.

1808
01:44:35,569 --> 01:44:38,171
[Beth] He's never intimidated by the odds.

1809
01:44:40,607 --> 01:44:45,212
[Mauro] Would have gone for--
Uh, Undisputed Era going over strategy.

1810
01:44:45,279 --> 01:44:48,315
Ciampa returning after being
on the shelf for seven months,

1811
01:44:48,382 --> 01:44:52,786
following career-threatening neck surgery,
relinquished the NXT title,

1812
01:44:53,186 --> 01:44:56,490
and he is ready to
get his hands on the UE.

1813
01:44:56,556 --> 01:44:59,126
[Nigel] Well, what does this mean?
Does this mean there is no fourth member?

1814
01:44:59,192 --> 01:45:00,527
-Are you sure?
-Yeah, I got it.

1815
01:45:00,594 --> 01:45:02,863
Hell, yeah. Hell, yeah, get this, Roddy.

1816
01:45:02,929 --> 01:45:04,197
-You got it.
-Go get this, Roddy.

1817
01:45:04,264 --> 01:45:05,966
Okay. Oh, you're gonna get it!

1818
01:45:06,366 --> 01:45:07,334
You're gonna get it!

1819
01:45:07,401 --> 01:45:12,372
[Mauro] NXT North American champion
Roderick Strong who will face AJ Styles

1820
01:45:12,439 --> 01:45:15,942
and Shinsuke Nakamura in a triple threat
at Survivor Series tomorrow,

1821
01:45:16,009 --> 01:45:20,013
he has volunteered
to get things started against Ciampa.

1822
01:45:20,080 --> 01:45:21,348
[Nigel] It's great strategy.

1823
01:45:21,415 --> 01:45:24,618
Strong has the best cardio
of anyone on the Undisputed Era,

1824
01:45:24,685 --> 01:45:26,219
perhaps anybody on the brand.

1825
01:45:26,286 --> 01:45:29,489
So if you know someone's going to
have a long time in this match

1826
01:45:29,556 --> 01:45:30,624
Strong is the guy to start.

1827
01:45:30,691 --> 01:45:34,094
[Mauro] Well, UE is supposed to have
the advantage but Ciampa has the crutch.

1828
01:45:34,161 --> 01:45:37,097
[Beth] I was gonna say I don't know
if Roderick Strong going in there

1829
01:45:37,164 --> 01:45:38,498
without anything in my hands.

1830
01:45:40,133 --> 01:45:41,101
[Mauro] Oh, wait.

1831
01:45:41,168 --> 01:45:44,971
[crowd cheers]

1832
01:45:45,038 --> 01:45:50,610
[Mauro] Oh, Strong is gonna take advantage
of this gift that Ciampa's giving him.

1833
01:45:51,445 --> 01:45:52,846
[Nigel] What is this?

1834
01:45:53,480 --> 01:45:55,649
-[Mauro] So, it will be strong.
-[bell rings]

1835
01:45:56,149 --> 01:45:59,820
-[Mauro] Against Ciampa first 5 minutes.
-You think I need this to beat you?

1836
01:46:00,287 --> 01:46:02,923
[Mauro] Oh, strong said,
"I don't need this to beat you."

1837
01:46:02,989 --> 01:46:07,561
He just launched that crutch
over the cage and it's on.

1838
01:46:08,095 --> 01:46:11,465
Ciampa and Strong
beginning the proceedings here.

1839
01:46:11,531 --> 01:46:13,500
Again, the first five minutes.

1840
01:46:14,101 --> 01:46:17,537
And then, the advantage begins
for the Undisputed Era.

1841
01:46:17,604 --> 01:46:22,442
The match doesn't officially begin
until all, I wanna say eight members,

1842
01:46:22,509 --> 01:46:25,746
but right now, Team Ciampa has only three.

1843
01:46:25,812 --> 01:46:29,149
[Beth] This match is fast and furious
right from the start.

1844
01:46:30,083 --> 01:46:33,887
[Mauro] I mean, is Ciampa
that confident to go into battle

1845
01:46:33,954 --> 01:46:37,457
with the most dominant faction
in NXT history,

1846
01:46:37,524 --> 01:46:38,959
the Undisputed Era?

1847
01:46:39,559 --> 01:46:42,963
[Nigel] I'm not sure what's going on
with Ciampa's mindset right now.

1848
01:46:43,029 --> 01:46:46,933
[Mauro] Well, last night,
Smackdown became DXT and of course, DX,

1849
01:46:47,000 --> 01:46:51,471
NWO, Four Horsemen,
all Hall of Fame factions,

1850
01:46:51,538 --> 01:46:54,040
but the Undisputed Era
are large and in charge

1851
01:46:54,107 --> 01:46:57,444
and Strong as taking it
to Ciampa here tonight.

1852
01:46:57,944 --> 01:47:00,747
[Nigel] Strong is leading the charge
to Tommaso Ciampa,

1853
01:47:00,814 --> 01:47:04,551
and you have to admire Strong
for throwing the crutch to the outside.

1854
01:47:04,618 --> 01:47:07,487
I think Strong realized that
if it came down to weapons,

1855
01:47:07,554 --> 01:47:09,790
perhaps that would give
Ciampa the advantage.

1856
01:47:09,856 --> 01:47:13,226
If it's a traditional wrestling match,
Strong wins.

1857
01:47:13,293 --> 01:47:17,130
[Beth] Ciampa so unpredictable,
so reckless, a weapon in his hands

1858
01:47:17,197 --> 01:47:18,131
is quite dangerous.

1859
01:47:18,198 --> 01:47:20,400
[Mauro] I don't wanna take
anything away from the match

1860
01:47:20,467 --> 01:47:23,737
but can we get confirmation
that it is going to be four-on-three?

1861
01:47:23,804 --> 01:47:25,238
Is that what's happening here?

1862
01:47:25,305 --> 01:47:27,941
Ciampa dropping Strong
out over the top rope

1863
01:47:28,008 --> 01:47:31,344
and Ciampa kicking Strong
right in the mush.

1864
01:47:31,411 --> 01:47:33,980
[crowd chatters]

1865
01:47:34,047 --> 01:47:38,151
[Beth] We talked about the motivation,
the drive of Tommaso Ciampa.

1866
01:47:38,218 --> 01:47:41,888
Undisputed Era looking on
and shocked that Roderick Strong

1867
01:47:41,955 --> 01:47:44,491
is getting his dues paid right now.

1868
01:47:45,125 --> 01:47:48,094
[Nigel] Well, it'd be hard
for your team members to be in that cage

1869
01:47:48,161 --> 01:47:50,997
knowing you can't do
anything to help your teammate.

1870
01:47:51,064 --> 01:47:52,933
[Mauro] It was here
in Chicago two years back

1871
01:47:52,999 --> 01:47:56,069
where Ciampa turned on
his longtime partner, Johnny Gargano,

1872
01:47:56,136 --> 01:48:00,073
beginning one of the most epic rivalries
in WWE history.

1873
01:48:00,140 --> 01:48:04,978
Gargano put on the sidelines
by Finn Balor, and Ciampa here now,

1874
01:48:07,814 --> 01:48:10,417
raining down those right hands
to Roderick Strong,

1875
01:48:10,483 --> 01:48:13,086
Tommaso Ciampa on fuego.

1876
01:48:13,520 --> 01:48:16,990
[Beth] And a clear message
sent to Undisputed Era

1877
01:48:17,424 --> 01:48:19,125
courtesy of the Psycho Killer.

1878
01:48:19,192 --> 01:48:21,127
[Nigel] Ciampa better
make the most of this advantage

1879
01:48:21,194 --> 01:48:22,863
because very shortly now,

1880
01:48:22,929 --> 01:48:26,566
Roderick Strong will be joined
by another member of the Undisputed Era

1881
01:48:26,633 --> 01:48:30,237
and you have to think Undisputed Era
are favorites in this match,

1882
01:48:30,303 --> 01:48:33,106
not just for the order of advantage-- Oh.

1883
01:48:33,173 --> 01:48:36,509
[Mauro] And Beth, you mentioned
"the Psycho Killer" Ciampa tweeted

1884
01:48:36,576 --> 01:48:39,513
that Chicago does of course
hold a special place in his heart,

1885
01:48:39,579 --> 01:48:42,415
and tonight, we would see
the return of the Psycho Killer,

1886
01:48:42,482 --> 01:48:46,586
but now, Roderick Strong, corner mount,
raining down those right hands.

1887
01:48:46,653 --> 01:48:48,355
Good escape by Ciampa.

1888
01:48:48,989 --> 01:48:51,992
[Beth] Tommaso Ciampa
certainly cut caught from the other--

1889
01:48:52,058 --> 01:48:54,127
[Mauro] Oh, what a kick by Ciampa.

1890
01:48:55,328 --> 01:48:57,163
[Beth] Lights out for Roderick Strong.

1891
01:48:57,230 --> 01:49:00,500
[Mauro] Out like a light,
ayy, like a light.

1892
01:49:00,567 --> 01:49:02,802
[crowd cheers]

1893
01:49:02,869 --> 01:49:05,839
[Nigel] Well, Undisputed Era certainly
not looking too happy there in the cage,

1894
01:49:05,906 --> 01:49:09,242
you can understand why,
Roderick Strong hasn't done--

1895
01:49:09,309 --> 01:49:11,411
did so well
in the beginning of this match.

1896
01:49:11,478 --> 01:49:13,947
[Mauro] Ciampa looking for a draping DDT.

1897
01:49:14,948 --> 01:49:16,182
Caught off by Strong.

1898
01:49:16,249 --> 01:49:19,319
They're now in that middle section
and Ciampa lights up Strong.

1899
01:49:19,386 --> 01:49:21,187
Strong counters with a right hand

1900
01:49:21,254 --> 01:49:24,157
as these two warriors
tearing into each other.

1901
01:49:24,724 --> 01:49:26,026
[Beth] In an awkward space,

1902
01:49:26,092 --> 01:49:28,795
that strip of steel
connecting the two rings.

1903
01:49:28,862 --> 01:49:30,730
[Mauro] What a Clothesline by Ciampa.

1904
01:49:32,632 --> 01:49:36,903
And again, first five minutes one-on-one

1905
01:49:36,970 --> 01:49:40,173
and then the advantage begins
for the Undisputed Era.

1906
01:49:40,240 --> 01:49:43,209
Every three minutes,
another member of each squad joins

1907
01:49:43,276 --> 01:49:47,647
and if it stands as it is now
and it's going to be four against three

1908
01:49:47,714 --> 01:49:52,519
when Wargames officially begins,
advantage, Undisputed Era.

1909
01:49:53,486 --> 01:49:55,989
[Nigel] Wait a second. He could be
looking for the Fairytale Ending.

1910
01:49:56,056 --> 01:49:57,023
[Nigel] It won't matter.

1911
01:49:57,490 --> 01:49:59,292
[Nigel] It'd certainly
give him an advantage though.

1912
01:49:59,359 --> 01:50:02,629
If he could take out Strong here,
he'll be ready to go one-on-one.

1913
01:50:02,696 --> 01:50:03,830
[all of them] Whoa!

1914
01:50:03,897 --> 01:50:08,268
[Nigel] But instead,
a double knees got bust up.

1915
01:50:08,335 --> 01:50:09,436
There he is!

1916
01:50:09,502 --> 01:50:12,005
[Mauro] And Strong and Ciampa,
that's all they can do is

1917
01:50:12,072 --> 01:50:13,373
tear each other apart.

1918
01:50:13,440 --> 01:50:18,712
Pinfall, submissions do not matter
until Wargames match officially begins.

1919
01:50:18,778 --> 01:50:20,880
Strong with that ground and pound.

1920
01:50:20,947 --> 01:50:23,550
Ciampa doing a good job
of blocking a lot of those strikes.

1921
01:50:23,750 --> 01:50:27,520
[Nigel] Now, the benefit of
that cardio that I mentioned earlier.

1922
01:50:27,754 --> 01:50:31,658
Strong absorbing a lot of punishment
early in this first five-minute segment.

1923
01:50:31,725 --> 01:50:34,260
And now, he's still prime to attack.

1924
01:50:35,328 --> 01:50:36,563
Whoa!

1925
01:50:36,630 --> 01:50:38,932
[crowd cheers]

1926
01:50:38,999 --> 01:50:40,700
[Beth] Ciampa such a resilient competitor

1927
01:50:40,767 --> 01:50:43,136
but when we talk about
what he did to get here,

1928
01:50:43,203 --> 01:50:46,172
coming back
from neck surgery in record time.

1929
01:50:46,239 --> 01:50:50,577
[Mauro] All right. We're about to find out
the next member of the Undisputed Era

1930
01:50:50,643 --> 01:50:55,115
to come and help Roderick Strong
to bolster their hopes

1931
01:50:55,181 --> 01:50:56,883
here against Tommaso Ciampa.

1932
01:50:57,317 --> 01:50:58,351
Let's go!

1933
01:50:59,119 --> 01:51:00,186
[Beth] Who's it gonna be?

1934
01:51:00,253 --> 01:51:03,023
[Mauro] And it looks like Kyle O'Reilly
is bursting out of that cage.

1935
01:51:03,089 --> 01:51:09,029
The only person in NXT history
to hold three NXT tag team titles

1936
01:51:09,095 --> 01:51:12,899
with three different partners,
Strong, Fish, and Cole.

1937
01:51:12,966 --> 01:51:16,936
And Ciampa trying to fight him off
but O'Reilly changes levels,

1938
01:51:17,003 --> 01:51:18,805
takedown, ground and pound.

1939
01:51:19,472 --> 01:51:24,110
[Nigel] O'Reilly one of the most capable,
proficient grapplers in UE

1940
01:51:24,177 --> 01:51:26,679
or anybody inside gold--
Red and gold-- Oh.

1941
01:51:26,746 --> 01:51:29,449
[Mauro] Oh, what a forearm by Ciampa.

1942
01:51:29,516 --> 01:51:32,986
But look at O'Reilly
continue to mix up his attack.

1943
01:51:33,053 --> 01:51:38,324
Wow. Sweeping the legs
and it doesn't matter what point he uses.

1944
01:51:38,391 --> 01:51:42,796
The Eight Limbs, the Muay Thai,
the Cree, it's all about Kyle O'Reilly.

1945
01:51:42,862 --> 01:51:44,964
[Beth] And that frantic attack
giving Roderick Strong

1946
01:51:45,031 --> 01:51:48,034
an opportunity to
recover from earlier damage done.

1947
01:51:48,101 --> 01:51:50,170
Now, we're in a two-on-one situation.

1948
01:51:50,236 --> 01:51:52,172
[Mauro] Two guys
who know each other very well.

1949
01:51:52,238 --> 01:51:55,909
They've held the NXT tag team titles,
of course, the Undisputed Era,

1950
01:51:55,975 --> 01:51:59,446
the only three-time tag team champs,
the current champs.

1951
01:51:59,512 --> 01:52:02,582
And they will be involved
in a triple threat tag team match

1952
01:52:02,649 --> 01:52:05,919
at Survivor Series against
the New Day and the Viking Warriors.

1953
01:52:05,985 --> 01:52:09,189
That'll be Strong--
Or excuse me, O'Reilly and Fish.

1954
01:52:11,758 --> 01:52:14,227
[Nigel] The Undisputed Era
have to push their advantage now

1955
01:52:14,294 --> 01:52:18,264
when they have this three-minute segment
with a two-on-one advantage.

1956
01:52:18,331 --> 01:52:19,866
They've gotta make the most of it.

1957
01:52:19,933 --> 01:52:23,369
[Mauro] And again,
Ciampa returning in miraculous fashion

1958
01:52:23,436 --> 01:52:26,840
from surgically-repaired neck

1959
01:52:27,674 --> 01:52:31,444
has definitely
put himself in the line of fire.

1960
01:52:31,911 --> 01:52:37,016
The captain of his team, a man
who marches to the cage with purpose.

1961
01:52:37,083 --> 01:52:40,453
No discussion as to
who was going to start this matchup.

1962
01:52:41,054 --> 01:52:42,789
[Nigel] You gotta think that
Tommaso Ciampa

1963
01:52:42,856 --> 01:52:45,625
who got two opponents now
is spending-- Consuming that energy,

1964
01:52:45,692 --> 01:52:49,162
while he has
two massive teammates completely fresh.

1965
01:52:49,229 --> 01:52:53,967
[crowd cheers]

1966
01:52:54,033 --> 01:52:57,003
[Mauro] And Ciampa fighting off
both Strong and O'Reilly,

1967
01:52:57,070 --> 01:53:00,507
doing whatever he can
to try to stay in this match.

1968
01:53:00,573 --> 01:53:03,777
Gets neutralized
by O'Reilly and now gets tagged

1969
01:53:03,843 --> 01:53:06,079
by Roderick Strong repeatedly.

1970
01:53:06,780 --> 01:53:09,716
[Nigel] As Strong
running across the side of the jaw.

1971
01:53:09,782 --> 01:53:11,384
[Beth] Oh, it's hard to watch.

1972
01:53:11,851 --> 01:53:16,022
[Mauro] And the conditioning of
Roderick Strong second to none

1973
01:53:16,089 --> 01:53:18,691
and the Messiah of the Backbreaker
with a backbreaker.

1974
01:53:18,758 --> 01:53:24,831
O'Reilly launches himself off the corner
and drops the knee to Tommaso Ciampa.

1975
01:53:24,898 --> 01:53:28,935
[Beth] To see how well
Undisputed Era members work together

1976
01:53:29,302 --> 01:53:30,904
like a well-oiled machine.

1977
01:53:31,571 --> 01:53:33,773
[Nigel] O'Reilly said he wants to prove
the Undisputed Era

1978
01:53:33,840 --> 01:53:36,476
is more than a catchphrase
and a hand gesture.

1979
01:53:36,943 --> 01:53:39,345
O'Reilly doing a pretty good job thus far.

1980
01:53:39,412 --> 01:53:41,414
[crowd cheers]

1981
01:53:41,481 --> 01:53:44,217
[Mauro] Undisputed Era
talked about the fact that Wargames

1982
01:53:44,684 --> 01:53:47,420
was created here in NXT to end the year.

1983
01:53:47,487 --> 01:53:50,590
But they won the first Wargames
and they would like to bounce back

1984
01:53:50,657 --> 01:53:54,894
after tasting defeat
at last year's Wargames match.

1985
01:53:54,961 --> 01:53:59,098
And so far, Strong and O'Reilly
doing a good job of neutralizing Ciampa

1986
01:53:59,165 --> 01:54:04,170
but Ciampa will have
some assistance in one second.

1987
01:54:07,140 --> 01:54:10,710
And it will come
in the form of Dominik Dijakovic.

1988
01:54:11,578 --> 01:54:13,780
[Nigel] A towering Croatian.

1989
01:54:13,847 --> 01:54:17,350
We've seen this man do
absolutely extraordinary things

1990
01:54:17,417 --> 01:54:18,918
for a man his size.

1991
01:54:18,985 --> 01:54:22,689
He will have to do
an extraordinary show against two men

1992
01:54:22,755 --> 01:54:23,957
with the Undisputed Era here.

1993
01:54:24,023 --> 01:54:27,126
[Mauro] O'Reilly taking it to Dijakovic
but went right into

1994
01:54:27,193 --> 01:54:30,697
the big boot
and there's a forearm by Dijakovic.

1995
01:54:30,763 --> 01:54:34,334
[Beth] We've seen Dijakovic
clean house on Undisputed Era before.

1996
01:54:34,400 --> 01:54:35,568
[they groan]

1997
01:54:35,635 --> 01:54:38,137
[Mauro] Dijakovic was the one
who mentioned that the Art of War

1998
01:54:38,204 --> 01:54:41,074
by Sun Tzu believes
that the element of surprise was crucial

1999
01:54:41,140 --> 01:54:42,875
to victory in conflict.

2000
01:54:42,942 --> 01:54:47,113
Maybe he knows something we don't
when it comes to the fourth member,

2001
01:54:47,180 --> 01:54:49,549
if there is one for Team Ciampa.

2002
01:54:49,616 --> 01:54:52,619
[crowd cheers]

2003
01:54:52,685 --> 01:54:55,088
-[they groan]
-[Beth] Whoa!

2004
01:54:55,588 --> 01:54:58,758
[Nigel] Oh, wow.
Just this offense from Dijakovic,

2005
01:54:59,125 --> 01:55:01,594
dropping down--
Look at O'Reilly is out on his feet.

2006
01:55:01,661 --> 01:55:03,630
[Mauro] Dijakovic proving
size matters here

2007
01:55:03,696 --> 01:55:06,699
as he is taking it to both Kyle O'Reilly

2008
01:55:06,766 --> 01:55:10,403
and Roderick Strong allowing
Tommaso Ciampa to lick his wounds.

2009
01:55:10,470 --> 01:55:11,804
Wow!

2010
01:55:11,871 --> 01:55:16,309
Dijakovic just launched O'Reilly
on top of Strong.

2011
01:55:18,177 --> 01:55:22,282
And look, are we gonna--
Is he going to give the fans a chance

2012
01:55:22,348 --> 01:55:25,118
to feast their eyes?
No, Roderick Strong will have none of it.

2013
01:55:25,184 --> 01:55:26,419
[crowd cheers]

2014
01:55:26,486 --> 01:55:27,453
[Nigel] Uh-oh.

2015
01:55:28,288 --> 01:55:29,155
[Mauro] Oh, wow.

2016
01:55:29,222 --> 01:55:31,691
[Nigel] He just angered Dijakovic. Oh!

2017
01:55:31,758 --> 01:55:35,595
[Mauro] Face-first into
the unforgiving steel cage and again.

2018
01:55:35,662 --> 01:55:39,432
[crowd cheers]

2019
01:55:39,499 --> 01:55:42,135
[Beth] There's no good way
to hit a steel cage.

2020
01:55:42,201 --> 01:55:46,673
[Mauro] Leaping into the Guillotine now,
O'Reilly trying to break down Dijakovic,

2021
01:55:46,739 --> 01:55:49,609
trying to cut down
the Walking Redwood to side.

2022
01:55:49,676 --> 01:55:50,510
Oh, but--

2023
01:55:50,576 --> 01:55:54,580
-[Beth] O'Reilly couldn't hold on to it.
-[Mauro] My god. The strength of Dijakovic

2024
01:55:54,647 --> 01:55:56,849
driving the knee in the back of O'Reilly.

2025
01:55:56,916 --> 01:56:00,386
[Beth] Oh, awkwardly
against the steel cage.

2026
01:56:00,987 --> 01:56:04,490
[Nigel] Dumping O'Reilly
like a sack of spuds now.

2027
01:56:04,991 --> 01:56:07,327
Dijakovic stands alone.

2028
01:56:09,896 --> 01:56:11,597
But I think it's not a bad strategy

2029
01:56:11,664 --> 01:56:14,600
as I said
from Tommaso Ciampa going in first

2030
01:56:14,667 --> 01:56:18,404
and allowing his two bigger teammates
to conserve energy.

2031
01:56:18,471 --> 01:56:20,306
[Mauro] And Tommaso Ciampa is a captain

2032
01:56:20,373 --> 01:56:22,041
leading out instructions here.

2033
01:56:22,909 --> 01:56:25,812
And Ciampa now back into the fray.

2034
01:56:25,878 --> 01:56:28,481
Dijakovic concentrating
his attack over O'Reilly.

2035
01:56:28,548 --> 01:56:30,583
Ciampa going on the attack on Strong.

2036
01:56:30,650 --> 01:56:32,185
It's two-on-two for now.

2037
01:56:32,251 --> 01:56:34,721
Undisputed Era does have the advantage.

2038
01:56:34,787 --> 01:56:37,190
[Beth] I think you'd argue
even though the odds aren't--

2039
01:56:37,256 --> 01:56:38,858
weren't in their favor to begin with,

2040
01:56:38,925 --> 01:56:40,960
it's Team Ciampa
all the way at this moment.

2041
01:56:42,095 --> 01:56:45,631
[Mauro] We will see what happens
once another man from Undisputed Era

2042
01:56:45,698 --> 01:56:48,101
comes in to give themselves
the numbers advantage.

2043
01:56:48,167 --> 01:56:50,503
[Mauro] Dominik Dijakovic
in his first Takeover.

2044
01:56:51,204 --> 01:56:54,007
Tommaso Ciampa
coming back from his injury.

2045
01:56:54,374 --> 01:56:57,377
The Undisputed Era
know all about what it takes to win here

2046
01:56:57,443 --> 01:56:59,946
in here the Wargames as, wow,

2047
01:57:00,013 --> 01:57:03,249
Dijakovic using the ropes
and O'Reilly's momentum

2048
01:57:03,316 --> 01:57:07,253
to pulverize one-half
of the NXT tag team champions.

2049
01:57:07,320 --> 01:57:10,022
[Beth] O'Reilly hitting
that strip of steel hard.

2050
01:57:10,089 --> 01:57:13,326
[crowd] Four, three, two, one!

2051
01:57:15,395 --> 01:57:17,230
[Nigel] Oh, they're gonna bring
looks like perhaps--

2052
01:57:17,296 --> 01:57:21,000
[Mauro] And it's the other half
of the NXT tag team champions,

2053
01:57:21,067 --> 01:57:22,268
Bobby Fish!

2054
01:57:22,335 --> 01:57:23,336
[Fish] Here we go!

2055
01:57:23,770 --> 01:57:26,005
[Beth] Fish is ready to go to war.

2056
01:57:28,608 --> 01:57:31,511
[Nigel] Now, Fish
the veteran of the Undisputed Era

2057
01:57:31,577 --> 01:57:35,648
highly tenured, a multi-tag-team champion
before coming here.

2058
01:57:35,715 --> 01:57:37,150
And he's shocking the system.

2059
01:57:37,216 --> 01:57:41,220
[Mauro] And he waste little time
in tying up Tommaso Ciampa,

2060
01:57:41,287 --> 01:57:43,756
ducks underneath the attack of Dijakovic.

2061
01:57:43,823 --> 01:57:47,960
And Bobby Fish,
a scientist on the mad game.

2062
01:57:48,027 --> 01:57:52,098
Just look at the way
he's able to cut down Dijakovic.

2063
01:57:52,165 --> 01:57:55,067
[Beth] Bobby Fish sent the message
earlier, "This is our house.

2064
01:57:55,134 --> 01:57:56,369
You're just living in it."

2065
01:57:57,270 --> 01:58:01,307
[Nigel] Bobby Fish like a surgeon,
just picking apart two opponents.

2066
01:58:01,574 --> 01:58:07,013
[Mauro] He's as precise as a diamond
and definitely knows what he's doing

2067
01:58:07,080 --> 01:58:09,816
when it comes to dishing out
the Undisputed Era.

2068
01:58:09,882 --> 01:58:13,953
Punishment and there O'Reilly
to his partner's rescue.

2069
01:58:14,020 --> 01:58:16,355
-[crowd cheers]
-[they groan]

2070
01:58:16,422 --> 01:58:17,757
[Mauro] Whoa!

2071
01:58:17,824 --> 01:58:20,793
[Nigel] High and low combination,
down goes Dijakovic.

2072
01:58:20,860 --> 01:58:23,629
[Mauro] A total elimination there
by the Undisputed Era.

2073
01:58:23,696 --> 01:58:26,732
That's how they defeated
the Revival in an instant classic

2074
01:58:26,799 --> 01:58:29,235
on NXT this past Wednesday

2075
01:58:29,302 --> 01:58:32,905
as the Messiah of the Backbreaker
delivers one to Ciampa.

2076
01:58:33,406 --> 01:58:36,742
[Beth] We're seeing the pendulum swing
in favor of the Undisputed Era.

2077
01:58:36,809 --> 01:58:39,078
[Mauro] Chasing the Dragon
there by the UE.

2078
01:58:41,681 --> 01:58:47,887
[Nigel] And now, the benefit of the
order-of-enter advantage in full display.

2079
01:58:47,954 --> 01:58:49,055
[Bobby] Yeah!

2080
01:58:49,121 --> 01:58:50,756
[crowd] Undisputed!

2081
01:58:50,823 --> 01:58:52,158
[Bobby] We got this, Cole!

2082
01:58:52,625 --> 01:58:55,895
[crowd] And Bobby Fish
yelling to his team captain, Adam Cole,

2083
01:58:55,962 --> 01:58:57,330
"We got this, Cole."

2084
01:58:58,030 --> 01:59:00,500
He being the captain motivated.

2085
01:59:00,566 --> 01:59:04,570
Of course, Adam Cole now
realizes that he will defend the NXT title

2086
01:59:04,637 --> 01:59:07,773
against Pete Dunne
tomorrow at Survivor Series

2087
01:59:07,840 --> 01:59:10,643
and yet he still
has to go to war here tonight.

2088
01:59:12,879 --> 01:59:17,350
[Nigel] But his Undisputed Era teammates
doing a great job for Adam Cole

2089
01:59:17,416 --> 01:59:20,152
who's completely resting at this juncture.

2090
01:59:20,453 --> 01:59:23,789
[Beth] You could see how they've
separated both members of team Ciampa

2091
01:59:23,856 --> 01:59:25,558
to divide and conquer.

2092
01:59:25,625 --> 01:59:28,861
[Mauro] No time to rest
for Ciampa and Dijakovic.

2093
01:59:28,928 --> 01:59:30,596
Wave after wave.

2094
01:59:30,663 --> 01:59:32,498
The UE attacks.

2095
01:59:32,565 --> 01:59:34,367
[crowd cheers]

2096
01:59:34,433 --> 01:59:38,104
[Nigel] Fish, O'Reilly, and Strong
like a pack of wolves.

2097
01:59:38,170 --> 01:59:41,240
Feast your eyes, you dork!

2098
01:59:41,307 --> 01:59:42,808
We run this!

2099
01:59:44,343 --> 01:59:46,412
We run this, Keith Lee!

2100
01:59:46,479 --> 01:59:48,214
[crowd cheers]

2101
01:59:48,281 --> 01:59:51,350
[Mauro] Well, the Undisputed Era,
they're provoking that caged animal

2102
01:59:51,417 --> 01:59:52,618
who's Keith Lee right now.

2103
01:59:52,685 --> 01:59:54,820
They better be careful.
They need to focus.

2104
01:59:54,887 --> 01:59:57,156
They need to take advantage
of their advantage.

2105
01:59:57,223 --> 01:59:58,658
[Beth] Time is ticking, boys.

2106
01:59:58,724 --> 02:00:00,226
[they groan]

2107
02:00:00,293 --> 02:00:02,061
[Nigel] Here it goes now
with Undisputed Era

2108
02:00:02,128 --> 02:00:03,729
taking the advantage here.

2109
02:00:03,796 --> 02:00:05,464
They have so much more experience.

2110
02:00:05,531 --> 02:00:08,901
They've been in every one
of the Wargames matches thus far.

2111
02:00:08,968 --> 02:00:11,137
[Mauro] And to think that the--
it's incredible,

2112
02:00:11,204 --> 02:00:15,007
the whole Wargames concept that
the match has yet to officially start

2113
02:00:15,074 --> 02:00:19,078
and look at all of the punishment,
all the damage we've already seen,

2114
02:00:19,145 --> 02:00:21,948
as the clock begins to tick down to zero.

2115
02:00:23,182 --> 02:00:26,519
-[Nigel] Time to bask in the glory.
-[Beth] Uh-oh.

2116
02:00:26,586 --> 02:00:29,155
-[crowd cheers]
-[Keith groans]

2117
02:00:29,222 --> 02:00:32,758
[Mauro] And here comes Keith Lee
who got his way with Braun Strowman

2118
02:00:32,825 --> 02:00:34,427
on Smackdown last night.

2119
02:00:34,493 --> 02:00:37,563
He's been opening eyes
and blowing people's mind

2120
02:00:37,630 --> 02:00:39,632
since coming to NXT.

2121
02:00:39,699 --> 02:00:42,735
The eclectic and electric Keith Lee.

2122
02:00:42,802 --> 02:00:46,072
[Beth] It's hard to derail a train,
you better get out of the way.

2123
02:00:47,106 --> 02:00:49,775
[Nigel] Completely fresh Keith Lee now.

2124
02:00:50,710 --> 02:00:54,880
[Mauro] Oh, wow.
Leg leaps both Fish and O'Reilly.

2125
02:00:54,947 --> 02:00:58,250
Keith Lee wipes out
both Fish and O'Reilly.

2126
02:00:58,317 --> 02:01:04,824
[crowd cheers]

2127
02:01:04,890 --> 02:01:07,493
[crowd] Keith Lee! Keith Lee!

2128
02:01:07,560 --> 02:01:10,396
[Mauro] Is that Keith Lee or Bruce Lee?

2129
02:01:10,463 --> 02:01:11,731
Incredible!

2130
02:01:12,098 --> 02:01:16,202
[Nigel] The agility of this big man
is something to behold and wow,

2131
02:01:16,268 --> 02:01:18,371
the impact of the Double Crossbody.

2132
02:01:18,437 --> 02:01:22,008
[Mauro] Oh, man.
Three hundred and twenty pounds.

2133
02:01:22,441 --> 02:01:24,010
We can't say that enough.

2134
02:01:24,076 --> 02:01:29,148
Look at the way Keith Lee
is taking it to the Undisputed Era.

2135
02:01:29,215 --> 02:01:33,452
[crowd cheers]

2136
02:01:33,519 --> 02:01:39,325
[Beth] The Allstate Arena is on its feet
basking in the glory of Keith Lee.

2137
02:01:39,392 --> 02:01:41,594
[crowd cheers]

2138
02:01:41,661 --> 02:01:45,364
[Nigel] And evidently
one of those unique charge of the NXT UK--

2139
02:01:45,431 --> 02:01:48,367
the NXT universe,
excuse me, comes up with--

2140
02:01:48,868 --> 02:01:52,638
[Mauro] O'Reilly comes to his partner's
rescue, but then eats a knee from Lee.

2141
02:01:53,205 --> 02:01:57,343
And wow, O'Reilly able to
crawl through the legs, but-- Oh!

2142
02:01:57,410 --> 02:01:59,478
And now,
all three members of the Undisputed Era

2143
02:01:59,545 --> 02:02:02,715
and it takes all three
to finally take Lee off his feet.

2144
02:02:03,282 --> 02:02:05,151
[Nigel] You'd have to think
that pack mentality

2145
02:02:05,217 --> 02:02:06,919
would pay dividends at some point.

2146
02:02:07,453 --> 02:02:10,322
Ciampa absorbed
so much punishment early in the match.

2147
02:02:10,723 --> 02:02:15,394
[Mauro] And it's the ground and pound
as all three members of the UE

2148
02:02:15,461 --> 02:02:19,031
attacking Keith Lee,
but here comes Tommaso Ciampa.

2149
02:02:19,098 --> 02:02:22,635
Ciampa rising from the ashes
and now firing off strikes,

2150
02:02:23,402 --> 02:02:27,673
trying to do his best
to keep the Undisputed Era at bay,

2151
02:02:27,740 --> 02:02:30,176
but the numbers is just too much.

2152
02:02:30,643 --> 02:02:33,279
[Nigel] A surge of adrenaline
from Tommaso Ciampa,

2153
02:02:33,346 --> 02:02:36,449
but just not enough to defeat
that three-on-one advantage.

2154
02:02:36,515 --> 02:02:37,416
Wait a second.

2155
02:02:37,483 --> 02:02:40,953
[Mauro] Dijakovic deposits O'Reilly
into the other ring.

2156
02:02:41,020 --> 02:02:43,522
Two rings, two cages.

2157
02:02:43,589 --> 02:02:44,490
[they groan]

2158
02:02:44,557 --> 02:02:46,592
[Beth] With both big men up on their feet,

2159
02:02:46,659 --> 02:02:49,095
it's gonna be a challenge
for Undisputed Era.

2160
02:02:49,161 --> 02:02:53,766
[Mauro] Scorched-earth,
no holds barred war,

2161
02:02:53,833 --> 02:02:56,302
a maelstrom of mayhem.

2162
02:02:57,770 --> 02:03:01,240
[Nigel] Lee and Dijakovic
coming together now,

2163
02:03:01,307 --> 02:03:05,678
an incredible rivalry for the ages,
tried to put it beside themselves.

2164
02:03:05,745 --> 02:03:09,048
[Mauro] Imagine what a team--
Well, they're a team tonight,

2165
02:03:09,115 --> 02:03:10,783
but what a team it would make

2166
02:03:10,850 --> 02:03:14,120
if they were able to
put their rivalry aside permanently.

2167
02:03:14,186 --> 02:03:17,256
[Nigel] Fish with the Sleeper Hold on Lee,
trying to put the big man down.

2168
02:03:17,323 --> 02:03:21,327
[Mauro] O'Reilly working on Dijakovic,
Dijakovic comes back with a right hand.

2169
02:03:22,027 --> 02:03:24,497
[Beth] Tremendous strategy
from Bobby Fish.

2170
02:03:24,563 --> 02:03:27,400
If he could--
If he could put Keith Lee to sleep--

2171
02:03:28,267 --> 02:03:31,570
[Mauro] All right. The advantage
again here on Undisputed Era,

2172
02:03:31,637 --> 02:03:34,840
their fourth and final member,
the team captain,

2173
02:03:34,907 --> 02:03:39,645
Mister November,
the NXT champion, Adam Cole.

2174
02:03:39,712 --> 02:03:40,713
[crowd cheers]

2175
02:03:40,780 --> 02:03:44,116
[Nigel] Look at Adam Cole. Incredible.

2176
02:03:46,085 --> 02:03:51,457
Thanks to Roderick Strong
who got an idea. Bad intentions.

2177
02:03:51,524 --> 02:03:52,358
[Beth] Uh-oh.

2178
02:03:52,424 --> 02:03:56,495
[Mauro] Cole is about to
set the table for destruction.

2179
02:03:56,562 --> 02:04:01,834
[crowd cheers]

2180
02:04:01,901 --> 02:04:05,805
[Beth] The rest of the Undisputed Era
is right on the same page.

2181
02:04:05,871 --> 02:04:07,373
[crowd cheers]

2182
02:04:07,440 --> 02:04:12,011
[Mauro] The crowd here
in Chicago ready to dine on destruction

2183
02:04:12,077 --> 02:04:15,381
as Cole gathers another table.

2184
02:04:17,016 --> 02:04:19,852
[Nigel] This does not bode well.
This bodes--what is it?

2185
02:04:19,919 --> 02:04:21,454
[Mauro] Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

2186
02:04:22,588 --> 02:04:24,690
-[Nigel] What's the idea here?
-[Mauro] Well--

2187
02:04:27,193 --> 02:04:30,830
Remember, the-- And again,
just to keep everyone up to speed here,

2188
02:04:30,896 --> 02:04:36,168
the match doesn't officially start
until all eight members are in the cage.

2189
02:04:36,235 --> 02:04:39,004
And yet, we still don't know
if Team Ciampa has a fourth member.

2190
02:04:39,071 --> 02:04:41,974
But the match
has to take place in the cage.

2191
02:04:42,041 --> 02:04:44,777
[Nigel] Well, so to speak,
until we know there isn't gonna be

2192
02:04:44,844 --> 02:04:46,111
a fourth team member.

2193
02:04:46,178 --> 02:04:48,848
As you said, Mauro,
this match doesn't start,

2194
02:04:48,914 --> 02:04:52,084
so that means
they can take people to the outside,

2195
02:04:52,151 --> 02:04:54,553
damage them there,
put them back in the ring.

2196
02:04:55,487 --> 02:04:58,557
[Mauro] Well, it looks like
they're just filling the cage with

2197
02:04:58,624 --> 02:05:01,360
as many tables as possible.

2198
02:05:01,427 --> 02:05:06,098
Adam Cole definitely has
a devious plan, thought this out

2199
02:05:06,165 --> 02:05:11,570
because the tables continue to
come from underneath the ring.

2200
02:05:11,637 --> 02:05:15,307
[Beth] Well, the experience factor
for Undisputed Era in Wargames

2201
02:05:15,374 --> 02:05:19,144
coming into play here.
They clearly had a plan coming into this.

2202
02:05:19,211 --> 02:05:24,016
[Mauro] We could see more tables than
warriors inside this sinister structure.

2203
02:05:24,817 --> 02:05:25,851
Oh, no, no.

2204
02:05:27,686 --> 02:05:29,655
How many tables are underneath there?

2205
02:05:29,722 --> 02:05:31,557
[crowd cheers]

2206
02:05:31,624 --> 02:05:33,859
[Mauro] And the Chicago crowd
wanted tables,

2207
02:05:34,426 --> 02:05:37,596
they're getting them and then some.

2208
02:05:37,663 --> 02:05:40,866
[crowd cheers]

2209
02:05:40,933 --> 02:05:43,135
[Nigel] Well, UE has got to
push that advantage now

2210
02:05:43,202 --> 02:05:47,072
because they don't know for sure
there isn't a fourth member.

2211
02:05:47,139 --> 02:05:48,073
Nobody can tell.

2212
02:05:48,140 --> 02:05:50,276
[Mauro] That's what I wanna question,
why wouldn't Adam Cole,

2213
02:05:50,342 --> 02:05:52,378
like, get all these tables?
Now, Ciampa kicks him.

2214
02:05:52,444 --> 02:05:55,548
But Beth, they had
an opportunity to really take it--

2215
02:05:55,614 --> 02:05:56,448
[Beth] Oh, no.

2216
02:05:56,515 --> 02:06:00,085
[Mauro] And there you go,
be careful what you wish for.

2217
02:06:00,819 --> 02:06:04,823
[Beth] Undisputed Era took a risk
and it did not pay dividends.

2218
02:06:04,890 --> 02:06:07,192
[Nigel] No, that was a terrible landing.

2219
02:06:07,259 --> 02:06:10,663
[Mauro] Adam Cole usually
does not make mistakes.

2220
02:06:10,729 --> 02:06:13,599
He made a huge one there.

2221
02:06:14,033 --> 02:06:16,502
[Nigel] Cole clearly setting
that table up on the outside

2222
02:06:16,568 --> 02:06:18,571
to do some damage to one of team Ciampa,

2223
02:06:18,637 --> 02:06:21,106
-but instead--
-[Mauro] He set himself up.

2224
02:06:22,074 --> 02:06:24,476
[Nigel] Back of the neck,
driven into that table.

2225
02:06:24,543 --> 02:06:26,378
[Mauro] Okay. The door is now closed,

2226
02:06:26,745 --> 02:06:29,715
four-on-three advantage, Undisputed Era.

2227
02:06:30,449 --> 02:06:34,320
We have not received any word that
the match is officially going to begin

2228
02:06:34,386 --> 02:06:37,423
like what we saw
in the women's Wargames match

2229
02:06:37,489 --> 02:06:40,526
and all of the controversy
in that contest.

2230
02:06:40,593 --> 02:06:43,629
-[crowd cheers]
-[they groan]

2231
02:06:43,696 --> 02:06:47,967
[Mauro] So now, it's Dijakovic,
Lee, and Ciampa in one ring,

2232
02:06:48,033 --> 02:06:51,370
Undisputed Era in the other.

2233
02:06:53,172 --> 02:06:55,975
[Beth] Team Ciampa the only one standing.

2234
02:06:59,244 --> 02:07:01,046
Stalking their prey.

2235
02:07:01,513 --> 02:07:03,983
-[Nigel] The era just--
-[Mauro] Wow, UE retreating.

2236
02:07:04,683 --> 02:07:06,585
[Nigel] Waiting for
a little bit of room to rest but--

2237
02:07:06,652 --> 02:07:08,320
[Beth] There is no way to go, guys.

2238
02:07:08,988 --> 02:07:11,557
[Nigel] And choosing perhaps
their offense. We'll see.

2239
02:07:11,624 --> 02:07:14,827
[Mauro] This could be
the last stand for Team Ciampa,

2240
02:07:14,893 --> 02:07:17,096
four-on-three, UE and it's on.

2241
02:07:17,162 --> 02:07:19,632
It is on at Takeover Wargames.

2242
02:07:19,698 --> 02:07:23,869
[they groan]

2243
02:07:23,936 --> 02:07:27,873
[Nigel] But somehow,
Team Ciampa able to maintain advantage

2244
02:07:27,940 --> 02:07:30,843
despite a four-on-three numbers advantage.

2245
02:07:30,909 --> 02:07:36,248
[crowd cheers]

2246
02:07:37,549 --> 02:07:43,622
[Mauro] Keith Lee, a one-man
wrecking crew. What the-- Oh, wow!

2247
02:07:43,689 --> 02:07:47,793
Attacking the Peninsula,
south of the Equator,

2248
02:07:47,860 --> 02:07:51,897
and Keith Lee
crumbles to the canvas in a heap.

2249
02:07:51,964 --> 02:07:55,501
[Nigel] No disqualifications, surprised
it didn't happen before and now--

2250
02:07:55,567 --> 02:07:58,704
[Mauro] Oh, wait!
Well, the clock is ticking. It's official.

2251
02:07:58,771 --> 02:08:02,307
[crowd] Four, three, two, one!

2252
02:08:08,714 --> 02:08:09,848
There's nobody.

2253
02:08:09,915 --> 02:08:11,116
They got nobody.

2254
02:08:11,784 --> 02:08:13,152
There's nobody.

2255
02:08:13,686 --> 02:08:18,357
[they chatter]

2256
02:08:18,424 --> 02:08:22,594
[they chatter]

2257
02:08:22,661 --> 02:08:27,332
[crowd chatter]

2258
02:08:27,399 --> 02:08:30,002
-[music starts]
-[crowd cheers]

2259
02:08:30,069 --> 02:08:30,903
[Mauro] What?

2260
02:08:30,969 --> 02:08:34,973
[crowd cheers]

2261
02:08:52,091 --> 02:08:53,726
[Mauro] Holy bleep!

2262
02:08:53,992 --> 02:08:55,861
Holy bleep!

2263
02:08:55,928 --> 02:09:01,366
Kevin Owens,
the fourth member of team Ciampa.

2264
02:09:01,433 --> 02:09:05,170
The KO Show has returned to NXT

2265
02:09:05,237 --> 02:09:08,674
and he's got more than a few bones to pick

2266
02:09:08,741 --> 02:09:13,612
with the Undisputed Era
after what they did on Monday Night Raw.

2267
02:09:13,679 --> 02:09:16,014
[Beth] Undisputed Era trying to act fast.

2268
02:09:16,081 --> 02:09:17,416
[crowd cheers]

2269
02:09:17,483 --> 02:09:19,985
[Nigel] What a game changer this is.

2270
02:09:20,686 --> 02:09:21,720
[Beth] Whoa!

2271
02:09:23,222 --> 02:09:27,226
[Mauro] Talk about
things being evened up in a hurry,

2272
02:09:27,292 --> 02:09:32,231
Kevin Owens
is laying waste to the Undisputed Era.

2273
02:09:32,297 --> 02:09:34,700
-[crowd cheers]
-[they groan]

2274
02:09:34,767 --> 02:09:36,802
[Nigel] Oh, he's got caught
for a second. No.

2275
02:09:36,869 --> 02:09:39,938
[Mauro] Oh, Sleeper Suplex by Owens.

2276
02:09:41,173 --> 02:09:47,980
And now, finally, we can say,
let the Wargames begin.

2277
02:09:48,714 --> 02:09:49,948
[Beth] Whoa!

2278
02:09:50,349 --> 02:09:53,385
[Mauro] No way out.

2279
02:09:53,452 --> 02:09:56,054
If you escape or leave the cage,
you forfeit the match,

2280
02:09:56,121 --> 02:10:00,359
the only way to win,
pinfall or submission.

2281
02:10:00,425 --> 02:10:07,332
[crowd cheers]

2282
02:10:11,603 --> 02:10:16,875
[crowd] Owens! Owens! Owens!

2283
02:10:16,942 --> 02:10:18,844
[Mauro] Welcome back, indeed.

2284
02:10:18,911 --> 02:10:23,115
What a shock to the Undisputed Era system.

2285
02:10:24,383 --> 02:10:26,185
Suck it!

2286
02:10:26,251 --> 02:10:31,089
[Mauro] Kevin Owens, Adam Cole
colliding here at Wargames.

2287
02:10:32,791 --> 02:10:34,660
Stunner by Owens!

2288
02:10:35,561 --> 02:10:37,529
Owens goes for the cover.

2289
02:10:38,197 --> 02:10:43,936
Oh, what an incredible night
here in Chicago

2290
02:10:44,002 --> 02:10:48,574
and it just got even crazier
with the arrival of Kevin Owens

2291
02:10:48,640 --> 02:10:51,610
as the fourth member of Team Ciampa.

2292
02:10:51,677 --> 02:10:54,413
[Beth] And what a reception
here for Kevin Owens

2293
02:10:54,479 --> 02:10:56,181
in the Allstate Arena.

2294
02:10:56,248 --> 02:10:59,218
[Mauro] He was involved
in so many memorable NXT battles,

2295
02:10:59,284 --> 02:11:04,122
a former NXT champion
who has returned to the black and gold

2296
02:11:04,189 --> 02:11:06,658
to take it to the Undisputed Era.

2297
02:11:06,725 --> 02:11:08,627
[Nigel] Oh, no. This doesn't look good.

2298
02:11:09,795 --> 02:11:11,363
Time to fly!

2299
02:11:12,297 --> 02:11:13,298
[Mauro] Whoa!

2300
02:11:13,365 --> 02:11:19,771
[Nigel] Wow, a nasty landing,
strung into Fish's right knee, I think.

2301
02:11:19,838 --> 02:11:21,173
That was awkward.

2302
02:11:21,240 --> 02:11:22,608
Oh, I hate to see that.

2303
02:11:22,674 --> 02:11:27,579
[Mauro] There's nothing not awkward
about being involved in this brutal match,

2304
02:11:27,646 --> 02:11:29,014
the Wargames matchup.

2305
02:11:29,081 --> 02:11:34,920
Kevin Owens rattling the cage,
lighting up the crowd in the windy city,

2306
02:11:35,220 --> 02:11:37,356
Chi-Town is on fuego.

2307
02:11:38,023 --> 02:11:41,360
[Beth] The Wargames structure
is so unpredictable,

2308
02:11:43,295 --> 02:11:46,898
unlike anything else
these superstars have been involved in.

2309
02:11:48,600 --> 02:11:50,802
[Nigel] What an ace for Tommaso Ciampa.

2310
02:11:50,869 --> 02:11:57,376
[Mauro] Oh, Ciampa draping DDT,
sends O'Reilly face-first to the canvas.

2311
02:11:58,110 --> 02:12:00,545
O'Reilly may be ripe for the picking.

2312
02:12:00,946 --> 02:12:05,984
[Nigel] All of the Undisputed Era is down,
all of Team Ciampa is up

2313
02:12:06,051 --> 02:12:07,953
with very bad intentions.

2314
02:12:08,020 --> 02:12:11,523
[Mauro] So much for the advantage,
Undisputed Era.

2315
02:12:12,524 --> 02:12:14,927
[Beth] Dijakovic having something in mind.

2316
02:12:14,993 --> 02:12:16,395
[Mauro] Cole attacking Owens.

2317
02:12:18,931 --> 02:12:21,600
And the brouhaha continues to boil.

2318
02:12:25,003 --> 02:12:28,540
So much potential for catastrophe.

2319
02:12:28,607 --> 02:12:31,643
[Nigel] Potential for damage, for injury,

2320
02:12:32,411 --> 02:12:35,213
matches like these shorten a man's career.

2321
02:12:35,280 --> 02:12:37,983
[Mauro] And then the--
And the appearance of those tables

2322
02:12:38,050 --> 02:12:41,453
making the double rings
look that much smaller,

2323
02:12:42,254 --> 02:12:44,890
lending itself to that much more danger.

2324
02:12:44,956 --> 02:12:47,993
Adam Cole trying to batter Kevin Owens.

2325
02:12:48,593 --> 02:12:51,063
And Dijakovic attacking Strong.

2326
02:12:51,129 --> 02:12:54,766
[crowd cheers]

2327
02:12:54,833 --> 02:12:56,868
[Nigel] Think of
some of the incredible things

2328
02:12:56,935 --> 02:12:59,137
we've seen at Wargames matches before.

2329
02:13:00,038 --> 02:13:02,174
[Beth] You mentioned
these matches shorten careers

2330
02:13:02,240 --> 02:13:05,043
they also give you nightmares
for years to come.

2331
02:13:05,110 --> 02:13:08,513
[Mauro] Matches like this are where
these warriors wish their bodies

2332
02:13:08,580 --> 02:13:12,084
were made of the same materials
as smartphone screens.

2333
02:13:12,150 --> 02:13:16,855
They are not unbreakable
expect for their fighting spirit.

2334
02:13:18,190 --> 02:13:22,127
Oh, and Ciampa head first
into the cage courtesy of NXT champion,

2335
02:13:22,194 --> 02:13:26,131
Adam Cole, who,
remember, has to survive this

2336
02:13:26,198 --> 02:13:29,401
and then go onto Survivor Series
to defend the NXT title

2337
02:13:29,468 --> 02:13:31,036
against Pete Dunne.

2338
02:13:31,536 --> 02:13:34,673
Oh, wow. Kevin Owens--
or make that Keith Lee.

2339
02:13:37,342 --> 02:13:39,311
-[Beth] Uh-oh.
-[Mauro] Oh, wait a minute.

2340
02:13:40,879 --> 02:13:42,814
Oh, my god!

2341
02:13:43,281 --> 02:13:48,620
Three hundred and twenty pounds
sailing through the air.

2342
02:13:48,687 --> 02:13:51,990
[crowd cheers]

2343
02:13:52,057 --> 02:13:53,425
[Beth] Hold on.

2344
02:13:55,660 --> 02:13:58,797
[Mauro] Kyle O'Reilly
diving onto the leg and now O'Reilly

2345
02:13:58,864 --> 02:14:00,499
looking for the submission.

2346
02:14:01,166 --> 02:14:03,168
-[Nigel] O'Reilly is the--
-[Mauro] Achilles tendon--

2347
02:14:04,369 --> 02:14:06,438
Achilles locked by O'Reilly.

2348
02:14:06,505 --> 02:14:07,773
[they groan]

2349
02:14:07,839 --> 02:14:10,075
[Beth] Smart to take off
the legs of Keith Lee.

2350
02:14:10,142 --> 02:14:12,978
[Nigel] And of course, if Lee gets to
the rope, there's no disqualifications,

2351
02:14:13,045 --> 02:14:14,246
there won't be a break.

2352
02:14:14,312 --> 02:14:17,182
[Mauro] Right. And the referee
is letting Lee know that.

2353
02:14:17,249 --> 02:14:21,019
[Nigel] All Lee can hope is that one of
his team members comes to his aid.

2354
02:14:21,086 --> 02:14:24,222
[Mauro] And Dijakovic now
looking to use the ring.

2355
02:14:24,289 --> 02:14:29,461
Springboard Moonsault,
Dijakovic on O'Reilly, this could be it.

2356
02:14:29,528 --> 02:14:31,930
Dijakovic goes for the cover.

2357
02:14:31,997 --> 02:14:38,970
Bobby Fish, oh, my god, everyone pulling
out each and every scintillating stop.

2358
02:14:39,037 --> 02:14:44,076
And Kevin Owens no stranger to danger,

2359
02:14:44,142 --> 02:14:48,580
Owens from the top turnbuckle,
Swanton Bomb.

2360
02:14:48,647 --> 02:14:49,781
[Nigel] Cover, that's it.

2361
02:14:49,848 --> 02:14:55,520
[Mauro] Cover by Ciampa,
no, Cole with a kick to both Ciampa

2362
02:14:55,587 --> 02:14:56,888
and Kevin Owens.

2363
02:14:58,089 --> 02:15:02,461
[Nigel] Adam Cole proving that in
an alphabetical list of everyone in NXT,

2364
02:15:02,527 --> 02:15:04,896
he is likely at the very top.

2365
02:15:04,963 --> 02:15:07,566
[Beth] He's also the only one standing
at this moment.

2366
02:15:07,632 --> 02:15:12,237
[Mauro] Adam Cole doing his best to
also go the high-risk distance,

2367
02:15:12,304 --> 02:15:14,573
Keith Lee struggling to get to his feet.

2368
02:15:14,639 --> 02:15:18,143
Oh, and Lee launches his head
into the midsection of Cole.

2369
02:15:18,543 --> 02:15:22,681
And that forces Cole to
drop down to the top turnbuckle.

2370
02:15:22,747 --> 02:15:24,683
[Nigel] Well, watch out.

2371
02:15:25,484 --> 02:15:28,420
Cole stepping to the outside to
try to get better leverage

2372
02:15:28,487 --> 02:15:29,921
to prevent some offense.

2373
02:15:29,988 --> 02:15:32,624
-[Mauro] NXT Takeover Chicago.
-[Nigel] Oh, yes.

2374
02:15:32,691 --> 02:15:35,694
[Mauro] About to perhaps
bask in Keith Lee's glory,

2375
02:15:35,760 --> 02:15:38,864
but not if Roderick Strong
has anything to say about it.

2376
02:15:38,930 --> 02:15:40,332
[they groan]

2377
02:15:40,398 --> 02:15:43,468
[Nigel] We mentioned earlier
that incredible cardio of Roderick Strong

2378
02:15:43,535 --> 02:15:45,770
he has a second,
a third, and a fourth gear.

2379
02:15:45,837 --> 02:15:50,175
[Mauro] Oh, my god. Strong looking
for the Avalanche Strong Slam.

2380
02:15:50,242 --> 02:15:52,110
Oh, wow.

2381
02:15:53,578 --> 02:15:55,113
[Beth] Keith Lee struggling to get up.

2382
02:15:55,780 --> 02:15:58,350
[Mauro] UE double team. My god.

2383
02:15:58,416 --> 02:16:02,120
-[Nigel] Lee goes down, into the cover.
-[Mauro] Cover via Reilly. UE gonna win.

2384
02:16:02,187 --> 02:16:06,224
No. Dijakovic comes to his rival's rescue.

2385
02:16:06,958 --> 02:16:09,427
[Beth] The bond forged in battle.

2386
02:16:09,494 --> 02:16:13,665
Well, let's take look at the strength
of Roderick Strong picking up

2387
02:16:13,732 --> 02:16:17,402
over 320 pounds crushing to the mat.

2388
02:16:17,469 --> 02:16:19,538
[Mauro] He just put the strong
in Roderick Strong

2389
02:16:19,604 --> 02:16:20,972
with that display of strength.

2390
02:16:21,039 --> 02:16:27,412
[crowd] This is awesome!
This is awesome! This is awesome!

2391
02:16:27,479 --> 02:16:31,516
[Nigel] Oh, wow. And again,
that high and low combination.

2392
02:16:31,583 --> 02:16:34,486
Not so awesome if you're Dijakovic--

2393
02:16:34,553 --> 02:16:38,924
[Mauro] Oh, Owens just launched
Roderick Strong, and now does the same,

2394
02:16:38,990 --> 02:16:39,958
sending O'Reilly.

2395
02:16:40,025 --> 02:16:41,660
[Owens] Oh, no, did that hurt?

2396
02:16:41,993 --> 02:16:46,765
[Mauro] Kevin Owens, the surprise
fourth member of team Ciampa.

2397
02:16:49,167 --> 02:16:53,672
Remember the Undisputed Era
attacking him Monday night on Raw.

2398
02:16:53,738 --> 02:16:57,809
Triple H offering Kevin Owens
an opportunity to return to NXT.

2399
02:16:57,876 --> 02:16:59,945
Well, Owens has done it his way.

2400
02:17:00,579 --> 02:17:04,783
[Nigel] Wait a second. On that steel grate
there between the two rings.

2401
02:17:04,849 --> 02:17:07,218
[Beth] Cole struggling to
pick the big man up.

2402
02:17:07,285 --> 02:17:10,055
-[they groan]
-[crowd cheers]

2403
02:17:10,121 --> 02:17:14,659
[Mauro] And there is no honor
in this ring for Wargames matches.

2404
02:17:14,726 --> 02:17:17,095
[all of them] No, no, no, no, no!

2405
02:17:17,162 --> 02:17:19,464
[Mauro] Oh, that Package Piledriver. No.

2406
02:17:19,531 --> 02:17:20,699
Owens.

2407
02:17:20,765 --> 02:17:23,001
[Beth] Cole fighting with all his might.

2408
02:17:23,068 --> 02:17:25,770
[Mauro] Oh, no. Adam Cole in jeopardy.

2409
02:17:25,837 --> 02:17:28,506
Adam Cole, oh, he lands on his feet.

2410
02:17:28,974 --> 02:17:31,743
Owens gets superkicked
by the NXT champion.

2411
02:17:31,810 --> 02:17:33,511
[crowd cheers]

2412
02:17:33,578 --> 02:17:37,916
[Nigel] Oh, wait a second.
You don't think-- No way.

2413
02:17:37,983 --> 02:17:39,284
[Beth] Oh, my god.

2414
02:17:40,252 --> 02:17:41,086
[Nigel] Panama!

2415
02:17:41,152 --> 02:17:44,556
[Mauro] Panama Sunrise
blocked by Adam Cole on the neck.

2416
02:17:44,623 --> 02:17:47,993
Now Kevin Owens-- Oh, wow. Oh, my god.

2417
02:17:48,059 --> 02:17:51,229
Right in the center the rigs
on that steel. [indistinct]

2418
02:17:51,896 --> 02:17:53,298
Kevin Owens is out.

2419
02:17:54,266 --> 02:17:55,433
[Nigel] Owens.

2420
02:17:55,500 --> 02:18:02,207
[crowd] Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit!

2421
02:18:02,273 --> 02:18:08,013
[Nigel] Owens trying to backdrop
Adam Cole to the floor, but instead,

2422
02:18:08,079 --> 02:18:12,050
the extra [indistinct] from Cole
damaged both competitors.

2423
02:18:12,117 --> 02:18:13,752
[crowd] Mamma mia! Mamma mia!

2424
02:18:13,818 --> 02:18:15,854
[Beth] You can see the damage done

2425
02:18:15,920 --> 02:18:18,390
to Adam Cole as well
the lower back and hips.

2426
02:18:18,456 --> 02:18:22,794
[crowd] Mamma mia! Mamma mia!

2427
02:18:22,861 --> 02:18:26,931
[Mauro] The ring littered
with the carcasses of all eight warriors.

2428
02:18:26,998 --> 02:18:32,370
And remember in Wargames,
there are no victims, only volunteers.

2429
02:18:33,872 --> 02:18:37,375
[Nigel] You don't win Wargames,
you survive Wargames.

2430
02:18:37,442 --> 02:18:41,613
And right now,
the question is who will survive?

2431
02:18:41,680 --> 02:18:46,017
[Mauro] Great point, Nigel.
As we have Fish and Strong setting up,

2432
02:18:46,084 --> 02:18:48,219
well, looks like more than one table.

2433
02:18:48,286 --> 02:18:53,992
[crowd cheers]

2434
02:18:54,059 --> 02:18:57,629
[Nigel] Oh, this does not bode well
for Team Ciampa.

2435
02:18:57,696 --> 02:19:04,436
[Mauro] I don't know if this bodes well
for anyone in this type of match.

2436
02:19:04,502 --> 02:19:07,038
And Strong, targeting Tomaso Ciampa.

2437
02:19:07,105 --> 02:19:09,674
Fish joining his UE brethren.

2438
02:19:10,008 --> 02:19:12,210
It looks like
they are targeting the team captain,

2439
02:19:12,277 --> 02:19:17,349
wanting to make the statement,
taking out the leader.

2440
02:19:17,415 --> 02:19:21,319
But Ciampa,
valiantly fighting off the attack.

2441
02:19:21,386 --> 02:19:23,054
[they groan]

2442
02:19:23,121 --> 02:19:27,192
[Beth] Nothing forgiving
about those tables or the steel.

2443
02:19:27,258 --> 02:19:30,128
[they groan]

2444
02:19:30,195 --> 02:19:34,032
[Mauro] Tommaso Ciampa, oh,
delivers a knee right to Kyle O'Reilly

2445
02:19:34,099 --> 02:19:35,233
who was on the attack.

2446
02:19:35,300 --> 02:19:36,468
[Nigel] Hold on!

2447
02:19:37,702 --> 02:19:41,139
-You see Ciampa--
-[Mauro] Oh, wow!

2448
02:19:41,206 --> 02:19:43,608
[Nigel] Project Ciampa knees to the back.

2449
02:19:44,676 --> 02:19:47,679
[Mauro] Oh, and what a knee.
And another knee.

2450
02:19:47,746 --> 02:19:51,082
Tommaso Ciampa picking up momentum.

2451
02:19:51,149 --> 02:19:52,817
[Beth] Finding his fire.

2452
02:19:52,884 --> 02:19:56,988
[Mauro] Is Team Ciampa on the merge
of prevailing at Wargames?

2453
02:19:57,055 --> 02:20:00,291
Oh, superkick by the NXT champion.

2454
02:20:01,059 --> 02:20:04,262
And Adam Cole has Ciampa.
Ciampa though fighting it off.

2455
02:20:04,963 --> 02:20:07,532
And Ciampa sends Cole into the cage.

2456
02:20:09,067 --> 02:20:14,172
What else is going to happen
in this Wargames match?

2457
02:20:14,239 --> 02:20:19,711
[crowd cheers]

2458
02:20:19,778 --> 02:20:24,115
[Nigel] Good lord,
this is just inhuman aggression.

2459
02:20:24,182 --> 02:20:26,284
[Mauro] You know who's smiling
right now is Pete Dunne

2460
02:20:26,351 --> 02:20:30,255
watching Adam Cole
eat those nasty knees from Tommaso Ciampa.

2461
02:20:31,723 --> 02:20:35,927
[Beth] Look at the carnage in the ring,
the bodies laying on the floor.

2462
02:20:37,328 --> 02:20:39,230
Competitors struggling to move.

2463
02:20:39,297 --> 02:20:44,769
[crowd cheers]

2464
02:20:44,836 --> 02:20:46,404
[Nigel] Wait a second.

2465
02:20:46,771 --> 02:20:48,273
Moving to the corner.

2466
02:20:49,808 --> 02:20:54,512
[Mauro] You are not safe in any area
of the wargames structure.

2467
02:20:54,579 --> 02:20:58,082
And Tommaso Ciampa,
now bringing NXT champion, Adam Cole,

2468
02:20:58,149 --> 02:20:59,984
up to the top turnbuckle with him.

2469
02:21:00,051 --> 02:21:02,153
[Nigel] Well, he took a quick look
over his shoulder.

2470
02:21:02,220 --> 02:21:07,358
[Mauro] There in a very precarious
position here with the two tables.

2471
02:21:08,793 --> 02:21:10,595
Foreboding pieces of furniture.

2472
02:21:10,662 --> 02:21:13,164
-[Nigel] Oh, watch out.
-[Mauro] No way.

2473
02:21:13,231 --> 02:21:15,333
-[Nigel] Sunset Bomb.
-[Mauro] No way.

2474
02:21:16,601 --> 02:21:18,703
[Beth] You can hear
the rattling of the steel.

2475
02:21:18,770 --> 02:21:21,239
-[crowd cheers]
-[they groan]

2476
02:21:21,306 --> 02:21:23,641
[Mauro] Tommaso Ciampa and Adam Cole

2477
02:21:23,708 --> 02:21:27,078
definitely struggling
towards superiority in the corner.

2478
02:21:28,480 --> 02:21:32,217
The rest of the bodies
still lower in the cage.

2479
02:21:32,283 --> 02:21:34,552
Actually, Keith Lee being lifted.

2480
02:21:34,619 --> 02:21:36,321
Oh, wow. He's got his beard.

2481
02:21:36,387 --> 02:21:39,290
[Nigel] Cole using the beard
to his advantage.

2482
02:21:41,392 --> 02:21:44,028
And now, as this match continues--

2483
02:21:44,095 --> 02:21:45,864
[Mauro] Surveying the landscape.

2484
02:21:47,899 --> 02:21:49,901
Oh, wow. Wait a minute. Adam Cole.

2485
02:21:49,968 --> 02:21:53,004
Adam Cole has gone
all the way to the top of the cage.

2486
02:21:53,071 --> 02:21:57,141
[Nigel] And we've seen Cole before
ascend to the top of the cage

2487
02:21:57,208 --> 02:22:00,945
and then try perhaps
to send his opponent to the outside.

2488
02:22:01,012 --> 02:22:04,516
A win by disqualification.
Could be another moment of genius.

2489
02:22:04,582 --> 02:22:06,784
[Mauro] Meanwhile,
the other members of the UE,

2490
02:22:07,185 --> 02:22:09,354
looking to neutralize Keith Lee.

2491
02:22:09,420 --> 02:22:13,157
Dominic Dijakovic also
struggling to stay on his feet.

2492
02:22:13,892 --> 02:22:19,163
But look at that one corner where now
Ciampa has joined Adam Cole.

2493
02:22:19,230 --> 02:22:22,567
[crowd cheers]

2494
02:22:22,634 --> 02:22:24,235
[Nigel] Oh, dear.

2495
02:22:24,302 --> 02:22:29,274
[Mauro] Dijakovic grabs Strong and sends--
Strong goes through the table

2496
02:22:29,340 --> 02:22:30,975
courtesy of Dijakovic.

2497
02:22:31,042 --> 02:22:32,844
[crowd cheers]

2498
02:22:32,911 --> 02:22:36,114
[Nigel] Dijakovic bringing the numbers
advantage back to Team Ciampa.

2499
02:22:36,180 --> 02:22:38,182
[Mauro] And Dijakovic's not done.

2500
02:22:38,917 --> 02:22:41,886
Oh, but look at O'Reilly
looking for the Triangle Armbar.

2501
02:22:41,953 --> 02:22:44,889
O'Reilly looking to submit Dijakovic.

2502
02:22:45,890 --> 02:22:48,259
[Nigel] Oh, this could be--
This could be the end of the match.

2503
02:22:49,260 --> 02:22:51,229
Dijakovic hanging in there.

2504
02:22:52,564 --> 02:22:56,301
-[Nigel] Good lord.
-[Mauro] Wow. The strength of Dijakovic.

2505
02:22:56,367 --> 02:22:59,671
He puts strong through a table,
but O'Reilly--

2506
02:22:59,737 --> 02:23:00,572
[Nigel] Oh, no.

2507
02:23:00,638 --> 02:23:02,373
[Mauro] He's hoping Dijavokic to fade.

2508
02:23:02,440 --> 02:23:04,242
[Nigel] That triangle is on tight.

2509
02:23:05,410 --> 02:23:07,412
-Look at the head of dijakovic.
-[Mauro] Whoa. Kevin Owens.

2510
02:23:07,478 --> 02:23:10,181
Kevin Owens
all the way to the top turnbuckle.

2511
02:23:10,248 --> 02:23:16,187
Kevin Owens with a Frog Splash
driving O'Reilly through the table.

2512
02:23:16,821 --> 02:23:18,756
[Nigel] No way! Watch out!

2513
02:23:18,823 --> 02:23:19,891
[Beth] Oh, my god.

2514
02:23:21,225 --> 02:23:23,494
[Mauro] Keith Lee, Bobby Fish.

2515
02:23:23,561 --> 02:23:27,732
And Lee powerbombs Fish through the table.

2516
02:23:27,799 --> 02:23:32,837
Remember when Adam Cole
brought all the tables into the cage.

2517
02:23:32,904 --> 02:23:36,007
He will rue that day forever.

2518
02:23:37,208 --> 02:23:39,477
[Nigel] And then, there was one.

2519
02:23:40,645 --> 02:23:46,351
Adam Cole, the sole competitor
of the Undisputed Era still in this.

2520
02:23:46,417 --> 02:23:49,354
[Mauro] But will he be the sole survivor?

2521
02:23:49,787 --> 02:23:51,222
What a shot here.

2522
02:23:51,289 --> 02:23:53,858
Tommaso Ciampa, Adam Cole.

2523
02:23:53,925 --> 02:23:56,861
It doesn't get more dangerous than this.

2524
02:23:56,928 --> 02:23:57,895
[Nigel] Oh, good lord.

2525
02:23:57,962 --> 02:24:00,999
[Beth] Look at the height
of these two competitors.

2526
02:24:01,065 --> 02:24:02,066
[Nigel] Oh, my god.

2527
02:24:04,035 --> 02:24:07,872
[Mauro] Superiority is one thing.
Proving a point is one thing.

2528
02:24:08,272 --> 02:24:12,844
What the hell is Tommaso Ciampa thinking?

2529
02:24:12,910 --> 02:24:14,879
[crowd cheers]

2530
02:24:14,946 --> 02:24:16,681
-[Nigel] Good lord.
-[Mauro] Oh, Jesus. No.

2531
02:24:16,748 --> 02:24:20,952
-[Nigel] No way. No way.
-[Mauro] Oh, Jesus, no!

2532
02:24:21,786 --> 02:24:24,522
[crowd] One, two, three!

2533
02:24:24,589 --> 02:24:26,024
[bell rings]

2534
02:24:26,090 --> 02:24:27,959
-[crowd cheers]
-[music starts]

2535
02:24:28,026 --> 02:24:32,930
[announcer] Here are your winners,
the team of Keith Lee, Dominik Dijakovic,

2536
02:24:32,997 --> 02:24:37,735
Kevin Owens, and Tommaso Ciampa!

2537
02:24:41,139 --> 02:24:44,842
[Mauro] There are no words.

2538
02:24:55,253 --> 02:24:57,255
What in the hell did we just see?

2539
02:24:57,321 --> 02:25:00,825
[Beth] I'm stunned, Mauro, top to bottom.

2540
02:25:00,892 --> 02:25:05,463
What these competitors did
in the ring tonight is just unbelievable.

2541
02:25:05,530 --> 02:25:11,202
[Mauro] But Nigel, again, Tommaso Ciampa,
Adam Cole on the very top of the cage,

2542
02:25:12,370 --> 02:25:17,909
and Ciampa still pulled through
the table so-- 10 feet below.

2543
02:25:17,975 --> 02:25:20,845
[Nigel] Yeah. Shocking.
It had to be a good 20 feet up there

2544
02:25:20,912 --> 02:25:23,181
driven through two tables.

2545
02:25:23,247 --> 02:25:26,384
I mean, you said it right, Mauro. I mean,

2546
02:25:26,784 --> 02:25:28,019
What words are there?

2547
02:25:30,321 --> 02:25:34,892
[Mauro] Well, there's one word
that describes Team Ciampa.

2548
02:25:34,959 --> 02:25:37,862
And that one word is victory.

2549
02:25:40,364 --> 02:25:42,300
But at what cost?

2550
02:25:47,739 --> 02:25:49,107
[Nigel] The wreckage…

2551
02:25:51,375 --> 02:25:54,679
…both literally and figuratively.

2552
02:25:58,516 --> 02:26:03,888
[Beth] The type of competition
that changes someone forever.

2553
02:26:05,423 --> 02:26:09,794
[Nigel] What a match
as Team Ciampa took out one by one

2554
02:26:09,861 --> 02:26:11,896
members of the Undisputed Era.

2555
02:26:13,865 --> 02:26:16,501
[Beth] Take a look at Kevin Owens
taking to the sky.

2556
02:26:16,567 --> 02:26:20,071
[Mauro] The surprise fourth member
of Team Ciampa.

2557
02:26:21,639 --> 02:26:25,576
The incredible display by Keith Lee.

2558
02:26:26,377 --> 02:26:27,545
But then

2559
02:26:28,312 --> 02:26:33,151
at the very top of the cage,
let this speak for itself.

2560
02:26:34,152 --> 02:26:35,586
Oh, my god.

2561
02:26:41,259 --> 02:26:46,831
The mother of all air raid crashes.

2562
02:26:47,899 --> 02:26:51,135
[crowd] One, two, three.

2563
02:26:53,938 --> 02:26:55,907
[crowd cheers]

2564
02:26:56,707 --> 02:26:59,844
[Mauro] How in the hell is Adam Cole
going to be able to defend

2565
02:26:59,911 --> 02:27:03,848
the NXT championship against Pete Dunne
tomorrow at Survivor Series.

2566
02:27:03,915 --> 02:27:04,849
Please tell me that.

2567
02:27:08,319 --> 02:27:10,087
[Nigel] I have no answer.

2568
02:27:10,154 --> 02:27:14,792
Right now, I just wanna
stand here in stunned silence

2569
02:27:14,859 --> 02:27:18,896
in all of the spectacle we just saw.

2570
02:27:18,963 --> 02:27:24,001

2571
02:27:24,068 --> 02:27:29,740
[cheers and applause]

2572
02:27:37,882 --> 02:27:42,186
[Nigel] One more look
if you can imagine the feeling

2573
02:27:42,854 --> 02:27:49,660
through the air
all the way down and through the tables.

2574
02:27:51,529 --> 02:27:53,364
[Mauro] A move that will live

2575
02:27:54,232 --> 02:27:58,269
in perpetuity on the NXT highlight reel.

2576
02:27:58,736 --> 02:28:02,406
Tommaso Ciampa, the leader of Team Ciampa,

2577
02:28:02,740 --> 02:28:05,576
sending the leader
of team Undisputed Era, Adam Cole

2578
02:28:05,643 --> 02:28:06,777
through the table.

2579
02:28:06,844 --> 02:28:10,348
On this night, Team Ciampa is victorious.

2580
02:28:10,414 --> 02:28:13,818
On this night, Team Ciampa survives.

2581
02:28:13,885 --> 02:28:18,656
But who is going to survive
Survivor Series tomorrow night

2582
02:28:18,723 --> 02:28:21,058
on WWE network?
