3
00:00:24,457 --> 00:00:29,462
[yelling] We are NXT.

4
00:00:29,529 --> 00:00:31,998
[Wade] Kevin Owens takes over.

5
00:00:32,065 --> 00:00:34,000
[male announcer] Bayley's done it.

6
00:00:34,067 --> 00:00:35,769
[crowd cheering]

7
00:00:35,835 --> 00:00:37,937
[Wade] The record reign continues.

8
00:00:38,004 --> 00:00:40,173
[male announcer] And the new--

9
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:42,075
This is my moment.

10
00:00:42,142 --> 00:00:43,710
[crowd cheering]

11
00:00:44,844 --> 00:00:46,646
[male announcer] In wargames--

12
00:00:46,713 --> 00:00:48,014
Are you kidding me?

13
00:00:48,081 --> 00:00:50,750
[Wade] Welcome to NXT Takeover,

14
00:00:50,817 --> 00:00:54,454
brought to you by the hardest
brand in the business.

15
00:00:54,521 --> 00:00:57,857
[man] We are NXT.

16
00:00:57,924 --> 00:01:01,461
[theme music playing]

17
00:01:02,929 --> 00:01:06,933
[Wade] Major star power
in this five-man ladder match

18
00:01:07,000 --> 00:01:11,604
to crown the new NXT North American
champion at Takeover XXX.

19
00:01:11,671 --> 00:01:15,675
Everyone has placed Io Shirai
on this unattainable pedestal.

20
00:01:15,742 --> 00:01:17,811
This is now my feature.

21
00:01:17,877 --> 00:01:21,114
I'm inside Io's head,
I figured out how to beat her.

22
00:01:21,181 --> 00:01:26,119
[upbeat music playing]

23
00:01:26,186 --> 00:01:28,721
[Wade] Oh, my. Raquel Gonzales.

24
00:01:28,788 --> 00:01:31,958
Dakota, you aren't
in my head, you just piss me off.

25
00:01:32,025 --> 00:01:36,362
You're gonna have to explain
to the entire wrestling community

26
00:01:36,429 --> 00:01:38,465
how you lost to an outsider.

27
00:01:38,531 --> 00:01:42,335
Saturday at takeover,
I'm gonna make you my bitch.

28
00:01:42,402 --> 00:01:44,971
[music continues]

29
00:01:51,544 --> 00:01:53,546
I want Kross.

30
00:01:53,613 --> 00:01:55,782
History, I guess we're doing
this the hard way.

31
00:01:55,849 --> 00:01:57,217
Look at it, Keith.

32
00:01:57,283 --> 00:02:00,453
You give me my shot at
the NXT championship

33
00:02:00,520 --> 00:02:03,623
or all this is on you.

34
00:02:03,690 --> 00:02:05,325
Tick tock.

35
00:02:06,292 --> 00:02:08,261
I fought.

36
00:02:09,496 --> 00:02:14,567
And at takeover, Kross won't beat me.

37
00:02:14,634 --> 00:02:20,039
[music continues]

38
00:02:30,717 --> 00:02:37,223
[man] And now, WWE SuperCard
presents NXT Takeover XXX.

39
00:02:41,861 --> 00:02:45,398
[crowd cheering]

40
00:02:50,203 --> 00:02:53,907
[Vic] Welcome to NXT Takeover XXX.

41
00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:03,016
And I couldn't be more excited
to be joined by

42
00:03:03,082 --> 00:03:06,653
WWE hall of famer Beth Phoenix
and Smackdown's Corey Graves.

43
00:03:06,719 --> 00:03:08,454
Vic, who says you can't go home again?

44
00:03:08,521 --> 00:03:12,525
It feels like only yesterday
that the NXT universe began

45
00:03:12,592 --> 00:03:15,428
here at full sail,
here we are at Takeover XXX.

46
00:03:15,495 --> 00:03:16,696
I barely slept last night.

47
00:03:16,763 --> 00:03:19,465
What are we waiting for?
Let's get this thing started.

48
00:03:21,234 --> 00:03:24,537
[upbeat music playing]

49
00:03:49,762 --> 00:03:50,897
[bell ringing]

50
00:03:50,964 --> 00:03:53,700
[male announcer] The following contest
is scheduled for one fall,

51
00:03:53,766 --> 00:03:59,906
making his way to the ring from Bray,
county Wicklow, Ireland, Finn Balor.

52
00:03:59,973 --> 00:04:02,809
[Wade] Balor looking for his
12th takeover victory,

53
00:04:02,875 --> 00:04:05,244
most in the history of NXT Takeover

54
00:04:05,311 --> 00:04:07,614
and, Beth, Finn Balor said earlier today,

55
00:04:07,680 --> 00:04:09,616
everyone is watching the prince.

56
00:04:09,682 --> 00:04:11,651
[Beth] Everyone certainly
is watching the prince,

57
00:04:11,718 --> 00:04:14,153
one man in particular, Timothy Thatcher.

58
00:04:14,220 --> 00:04:18,157
Thatcher's grudge was set in motion
when he lost his own North American title

59
00:04:18,224 --> 00:04:20,426
qualifying matchup
when Dexter Lumis wisely

60
00:04:20,493 --> 00:04:24,464
took advantage of Thatcher being
preoccupied to submitting Finn Balor.

61
00:04:24,530 --> 00:04:27,900
Thatcher then took his
frustration out on Balor

62
00:04:27,967 --> 00:04:31,704
by costing Balor victory
in his second chance matchup.

63
00:04:31,771 --> 00:04:34,607
That brings up to this match here tonight,

64
00:04:34,674 --> 00:04:37,043
Balor taking on Timothy Thatcher,

65
00:04:37,110 --> 00:04:41,247
what price will Thatcher pay
for ruining Balor's plans?

66
00:04:41,314 --> 00:04:42,715
[Wade] And Corey, when I ask you,

67
00:04:42,782 --> 00:04:45,618
there's obviously a clash of styles
between these two superstars.

68
00:04:45,685 --> 00:04:46,853
[Corey] Absolutely.

69
00:04:46,919 --> 00:04:48,454
Finn Balor's gonna rely on his speed,

70
00:04:48,521 --> 00:04:50,657
on his finesse but make
no mistake about it,

71
00:04:50,723 --> 00:04:52,959
Finn Balor is a highly talented grappler,

72
00:04:53,026 --> 00:04:57,363
although he is nowhere near
the level of grappling mastery

73
00:04:57,430 --> 00:04:59,032
that Timothy Thatcher is.

74
00:04:59,866 --> 00:05:02,735
[Wade] Well Thatcher has sent
messages with his recent

75
00:05:02,802 --> 00:05:06,873
Thatcher-thatch-can videos to
Finn Balor himself

76
00:05:06,939 --> 00:05:10,977
but Finn Balor is a superstar, Corey,
that will not be intimidated.

77
00:05:11,044 --> 00:05:14,447
For all the accomplishments Finn Balor
has had throughout his career,

78
00:05:14,514 --> 00:05:16,316
the first-ever
universal heavyweight champion,

79
00:05:16,382 --> 00:05:19,986
I believe this is the best Finn Balor
we've ever seen.

80
00:05:20,053 --> 00:05:25,892
[upbeat music playing]

81
00:05:25,958 --> 00:05:29,429
[crowd cheering]

82
00:05:29,495 --> 00:05:32,332
[Beth] His opponent, from Sacramento,
California,

83
00:05:32,398 --> 00:05:37,804
weighing in at 225 pounds,
Timothy Thatcher.

84
00:05:37,870 --> 00:05:41,174
[Wade] Vic, you better correct yourself,
it's thatch-as-thatch-can style,

85
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,976
if Timothy hears you, he might come up
and tear a ligament or something.

86
00:05:44,043 --> 00:05:45,344
[Vic] That's a very good point.

87
00:05:45,411 --> 00:05:47,847
With that I wanna bring up
Timothy Thatcher to you for a moment,

88
00:05:47,914 --> 00:05:51,284
we have watched him over
the last several weeks on NXT,

89
00:05:51,351 --> 00:05:52,985
there's no glitz, there's no glam.

90
00:05:53,052 --> 00:05:54,387
[Beth] Absolutely. But Thatcher--

91
00:05:54,454 --> 00:05:57,657
[Wade] Oh, and Finn Balor quickly
and Beth, you had mentioned,

92
00:05:57,724 --> 00:06:00,460
Finn Balor, having his second chance
taken away from

93
00:06:00,526 --> 00:06:02,729
that north American championship
ladder match by Thatcher,

94
00:06:02,795 --> 00:06:05,865
went right to work and now Thatcher,
Corey, taking Balor right to the mat.

95
00:06:05,932 --> 00:06:07,567
[Vic] Here we are on the ground,

96
00:06:07,633 --> 00:06:11,003
Timothy Thatcher excels in the ground game

97
00:06:11,070 --> 00:06:13,039
but Finn Balor,
no slouch in his own right,

98
00:06:13,106 --> 00:06:14,807
open-hand strikes by Thatcher,

99
00:06:14,874 --> 00:06:16,542
looking for an armbar
right out of the gate.

100
00:06:16,609 --> 00:06:17,844
Great defense.

101
00:06:17,910 --> 00:06:20,847
[Beth] You said it, no glitz,
no glam but plenty of submissions

102
00:06:20,913 --> 00:06:23,116
and strikes right out of the gate,
you could tell the vitriol

103
00:06:23,182 --> 00:06:25,451
between these two competitors.

104
00:06:25,518 --> 00:06:27,987
[Vic] Now it's Balor look
for the armbar as well.

105
00:06:28,054 --> 00:06:29,455
Thatcher, shoulders down for a moment.

106
00:06:29,522 --> 00:06:31,124
Balor able to get the left shoulder up

107
00:06:31,190 --> 00:06:33,960
and are you interested in this strategy
early on, Corey, by Balor?

108
00:06:34,026 --> 00:06:36,395
[Corey] I'm a little surprised
that Balor's willing to engage

109
00:06:36,462 --> 00:06:39,198
grappling with Timothy Thatcher
this early in the matchup.

110
00:06:39,265 --> 00:06:42,835
But Balor has no reason for fear,
he's a veteran in his own right.

111
00:06:42,902 --> 00:06:45,071
[Beth] And Corey, Balor may be
looking at it like a challenge

112
00:06:45,138 --> 00:06:48,074
like Thatcher is the--one of
the very, very best at submissions

113
00:06:48,141 --> 00:06:50,510
and striking, to go toe to toe

114
00:06:50,576 --> 00:06:54,147
in a grappling position
with Thatcher is incredible.

115
00:06:55,114 --> 00:06:57,016
[Corey] That's a great point, Beth.

116
00:06:57,083 --> 00:07:00,119
[Vic] Balor now torquing
on the left arm of Thatcher

117
00:07:00,186 --> 00:07:03,222
and Thatcher trying to get away
from Balor, doing his best to do so

118
00:07:03,289 --> 00:07:05,691
and again,
Thatcher taking Balor to the mat.

119
00:07:05,758 --> 00:07:07,393
[Beth] Thatcher always looking for

120
00:07:07,460 --> 00:07:09,495
another joint that he could grab,

121
00:07:09,562 --> 00:07:12,465
very adept
at changing positions and leverage.

122
00:07:13,533 --> 00:07:15,435
[cheers and applause]

123
00:07:15,501 --> 00:07:19,038
[Vic] Now Corey, to your point early on,
again Finn Balor outwrestling

124
00:07:19,105 --> 00:07:20,573
Thatcher in this moment on the ground.

125
00:07:20,640 --> 00:07:22,341
[Corey] There aren't
too many superstars in NXT

126
00:07:22,408 --> 00:07:24,310
or the rest of the world
that can lay claim to

127
00:07:24,377 --> 00:07:26,746
the fact that
they outwrestled Timothy Thatcher,

128
00:07:26,813 --> 00:07:30,283
but Thatcher once again in control,
nice deep front facelock applied.

129
00:07:30,349 --> 00:07:31,951
[Beth] You see
how Thatcher's high up on the toes,

130
00:07:32,018 --> 00:07:34,554
just laying the weight
and the pressure on Balor.

131
00:07:35,254 --> 00:07:38,291
[Corey] And notice the positioning
of Timothy Thatcher's chin a moment ago.

132
00:07:38,357 --> 00:07:40,860
He had his chin right between
the shoulder blades of Finn Balor,

133
00:07:40,927 --> 00:07:42,195
that's just extra pain.

134
00:07:42,261 --> 00:07:43,896
[Beth] That's old school, Corey.

135
00:07:44,630 --> 00:07:45,965
[Corey] No doubt about it.

136
00:07:46,032 --> 00:07:48,000
And once again,
right into the front facelock.

137
00:07:48,568 --> 00:07:51,204
[Vic] And you see the grittiness
on the face of Timothy Thatcher

138
00:07:51,270 --> 00:07:53,573
who has now controlled Finn Balor,

139
00:07:53,639 --> 00:07:55,975
sort of weather the early storm,
Corey, of Balor.

140
00:07:56,509 --> 00:07:58,644
[Corey] Timothy Thatcher, oh my goodness,

141
00:07:58,711 --> 00:08:03,349
is a tough, tough human being,
been in many a fight in his day.

142
00:08:03,416 --> 00:08:06,419
There's a reason he's, you know,
not exactly known for his smile.

143
00:08:06,886 --> 00:08:10,623
[Vic] And now look at Thatcher,
center of the ring with Finn Balor.

144
00:08:11,457 --> 00:08:12,758
[Corey] Look at that mug.

145
00:08:13,726 --> 00:08:14,927
[Vic] And Thatcher again.

146
00:08:14,994 --> 00:08:18,331
And this time, Balor,
up and over goes Thatcher to the floor

147
00:08:18,397 --> 00:08:21,601
and Balor now, Corey, has created
a little separation in this match.

148
00:08:21,667 --> 00:08:24,036
[Corey] You know, Finn Balor never
afraid to take a risk,

149
00:08:24,103 --> 00:08:25,938
and a kick right to the ribcage.

150
00:08:26,005 --> 00:08:29,408
[Vic] And Balor now, that aggression
stomping away on Thatcher.

151
00:08:29,976 --> 00:08:32,245
[Beth] Balor accomplished exactly
what he's set out to do,

152
00:08:32,311 --> 00:08:34,614
create space
so that he could pounce on Thatcher.

153
00:08:36,048 --> 00:08:38,651
[Corey] Right now Thatcher attempting
a single-leg takedown,

154
00:08:38,718 --> 00:08:40,720
Balor very wisely defending.

155
00:08:40,786 --> 00:08:42,355
-[Beth] Oh!
-[Vic] Oh!

156
00:08:42,421 --> 00:08:43,656
[Corey] Oh, that's nasty.

157
00:08:43,723 --> 00:08:47,293
[Beth] See the way Thatcher has that
left leg laid across the knee of Balor.

158
00:08:48,995 --> 00:08:51,697
[Corey] That's agonizing
on Finn Balor's knee, on his ankle.

159
00:08:51,764 --> 00:08:53,900
[Vic] Look at the torque
of the left ankle of Finn Balor,

160
00:08:53,966 --> 00:08:55,868
you can see Balor writhing in pain.

161
00:08:56,168 --> 00:08:58,671
Balor trying to do anything
he can to break the hold

162
00:08:58,738 --> 00:09:01,374
but Thatcher cinching in this submission.

163
00:09:01,440 --> 00:09:03,242
[Corey] It's actually
a very smart move by Finn Balor.

164
00:09:03,309 --> 00:09:08,114
Covering the nose and mouth of Thatcher,
attempting to cut the oxygen intake off.

165
00:09:08,748 --> 00:09:10,116
[Vic] And let's not forget

166
00:09:11,417 --> 00:09:15,488
in the last several weeks, Finn Balor
has been nursing a left knee injury

167
00:09:15,555 --> 00:09:17,356
and Balor able to grab the bottom rope.

168
00:09:17,857 --> 00:09:20,359
[Corey] That's a risky scenario
in and of itself when you're dealing

169
00:09:20,426 --> 00:09:22,028
with somebody
as dangerous as Timothy Thatcher.

170
00:09:22,094 --> 00:09:23,930
If you come in with any sort of weakness

171
00:09:23,996 --> 00:09:25,865
any type of injury,

172
00:09:25,932 --> 00:09:29,101
Thatcher has researched
and will exploit throughout the match.

173
00:09:29,168 --> 00:09:31,470
[Vic] Devastating knee right to the side,

174
00:09:31,537 --> 00:09:33,739
driving the air out of Balor and again,

175
00:09:33,806 --> 00:09:36,108
Thatcher looking for
yet another submission.

176
00:09:36,676 --> 00:09:39,045
[Corey] Just look at
how slow and methodical,

177
00:09:39,111 --> 00:09:40,413
Thatcher in no hurry.

178
00:09:40,479 --> 00:09:42,949
[Beth] Thatcher, a scientist of anatomy,

179
00:09:43,416 --> 00:09:46,619
truly understanding
where every ligament and joint

180
00:09:46,886 --> 00:09:48,788
bends to the point of breaking.

181
00:09:49,322 --> 00:09:51,724
[Corey] Bow and arrow submission
in the center of the ring,

182
00:09:51,791 --> 00:09:53,426
this could be big trouble for Balor--

183
00:09:53,492 --> 00:09:57,163
[Vic] And Balor into the cover
and Thatcher able to kick out at two.

184
00:09:57,964 --> 00:10:00,933
But you can see Finn Balor
not able to get right back to his feet,

185
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:04,236
so much has been taking on Balor
early on in this matchup.

186
00:10:04,303 --> 00:10:07,740
[Beth] And guys, a lot of Balor's best
offense involves jumping and running.

187
00:10:07,807 --> 00:10:10,476
He can't get that momentum
to hit the strikes.

188
00:10:11,043 --> 00:10:13,779
[Corey] If you take out an opponent's leg,
it severely limits

189
00:10:13,846 --> 00:10:16,015
any offensive ability
for most competitors.

190
00:10:16,082 --> 00:10:19,151
Thatcher knows that,
Thatcher's just wearing Finn down.

191
00:10:19,619 --> 00:10:22,922
[Vic] And again Thatcher continuing
to ground Finn Balor

192
00:10:22,989 --> 00:10:25,658
but what would a victory do
for Timothy Thatcher, Graves,

193
00:10:25,725 --> 00:10:29,228
against Finn Balor at Takeover
at NXT Takeover XXX?

194
00:10:29,295 --> 00:10:31,597
[Corey] Could be a measure of revenge
because Thatcher feels that

195
00:10:31,664 --> 00:10:35,568
Finn cost him the opportunity in the
North American Title Ladder match

196
00:10:35,635 --> 00:10:37,503
-that we'll see later tonight.
-[Beth] Wow!

197
00:10:37,570 --> 00:10:40,773
[Corey] Let's be perfectly honest,
Timothy Thatcher likes to hurt people.

198
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:42,375
[Beth] I can't argue with that, Corey.

199
00:10:43,109 --> 00:10:46,078
[Vic] Wait a minute,
Balor just popped right back up.

200
00:10:46,145 --> 00:10:48,881
And Balor now going right to
work on Thatcher.

201
00:10:48,948 --> 00:10:51,617
[Corey] Adrenaline can do
amazing things to the human body.

202
00:10:52,485 --> 00:10:56,055
[Vic] Trying to charge in, taking down
Thatcher, again Thatcher right--

203
00:10:56,122 --> 00:10:56,956
[Corey] Kimura!

204
00:10:57,023 --> 00:10:59,659
[Vic] Into another submission,
the kimura's locked in center of the ring.

205
00:10:59,725 --> 00:11:02,995
Is Finn Balor gonna tap out?
Balor a long way from the bottom rope.

206
00:11:03,062 --> 00:11:07,066
[Corey] Balor in severe danger of having
his shoulder dislocated any moment now,

207
00:11:07,133 --> 00:11:08,167
Thatcher is cranking.

208
00:11:08,234 --> 00:11:11,604
[Vic] Referee in good position
but Finn Balor now trying to do

209
00:11:11,670 --> 00:11:15,107
whatever he can, Beth, to roll over to his
stomach to try to get back to his feet.

210
00:11:15,174 --> 00:11:17,843
[Beth] Balor's best bet in this situation
may be to reach for a rope

211
00:11:17,910 --> 00:11:21,280
but Thatcher wisely grabbing
that right arm to make that impossible.

212
00:11:22,648 --> 00:11:24,684
[Vic] Thatcher continuing
the joint manipulation.

213
00:11:24,750 --> 00:11:27,386
Now focusing on the right arm,
look at the strain

214
00:11:27,453 --> 00:11:28,988
and the muscles of Finn Balor,

215
00:11:29,055 --> 00:11:31,323
and now look at the wrist,
Graves, being bent.

216
00:11:31,590 --> 00:11:35,694
[Corey] The arsenal possessed
by Timothy Thatcher is second to none

217
00:11:35,761 --> 00:11:37,196
when it comes to submission.

218
00:11:37,596 --> 00:11:40,633
Thatcher is just tearing
Finn Balor's anatomy apart.

219
00:11:41,434 --> 00:11:45,037
[Vic] And Thatcher, again,
another perfectly placed knee

220
00:11:45,104 --> 00:11:46,405
to the small of the back.

221
00:11:46,939 --> 00:11:48,974
[Corey] You get kneed in the lower
back like that, Beth,

222
00:11:49,041 --> 00:11:50,643
you can attest your legs will go numb,

223
00:11:50,709 --> 00:11:52,578
it's hard to maintain any sort of posture

224
00:11:52,645 --> 00:11:54,080
and it'll drive
the wind right out of your lungs.

225
00:11:54,146 --> 00:11:57,950
[Beth] Hundred percent. And any amount
of time spent in any of these submissions

226
00:11:58,017 --> 00:12:00,352
-causes strains, sprains.
-[Vic] Oh.

227
00:12:02,822 --> 00:12:05,925
[Vic] You got to wonder, you can see
Finn Balor trying to get deep breaths

228
00:12:05,991 --> 00:12:07,993
right now in the center
of the ring but, Graves,

229
00:12:08,060 --> 00:12:10,563
with every breath
it has to just hurt Finn Balor.

230
00:12:11,130 --> 00:12:12,798
[Corey] There's no doubt about it.

231
00:12:13,165 --> 00:12:15,868
Thatcher now attempting to-- Oh!

232
00:12:15,935 --> 00:12:17,837
Secure another submission.

233
00:12:18,671 --> 00:12:21,407
[Vic] And another knee
right to the ribs of Finn Balor.

234
00:12:21,474 --> 00:12:23,309
[Beth] You can see Balor trying to
block the extension.

235
00:12:23,375 --> 00:12:25,511
He was holding his own hand, his own arm.

236
00:12:26,479 --> 00:12:29,348
[Vic] Guys, you can also see
the welts starting to form on the body

237
00:12:29,415 --> 00:12:33,385
of Finn Balor, the back of Balor
turning into beat-bright red.

238
00:12:33,752 --> 00:12:36,756
And now Thatcher trying to
grasp his fingers

239
00:12:36,822 --> 00:12:38,557
and does and another submission.

240
00:12:38,624 --> 00:12:39,825
[Corey] Double Chickenwing,

241
00:12:39,892 --> 00:12:42,695
tremendous amount
of pressure on the shoulders of Finn Balor

242
00:12:42,762 --> 00:12:44,130
trying his best to escape.

243
00:12:44,196 --> 00:12:46,832
[Vic] Balor finally able to counter,
shoulders down

244
00:12:46,899 --> 00:12:50,035
and Thatcher able to roll through
but Thatcher did not break the hold.

245
00:12:50,102 --> 00:12:52,838
[Corey] Thatcher maintaining
a viselike grip on his own hands.

246
00:12:53,372 --> 00:12:55,341
[Vic] Thatcher goes up,
goes over, rolls through

247
00:12:55,407 --> 00:12:58,043
as Balor Basement Dropkick
right into the face.

248
00:12:58,477 --> 00:13:00,312
And for Finn Balor now, Corey,

249
00:13:00,379 --> 00:13:02,414
couple of deep breaths
try to regroup himself.

250
00:13:02,481 --> 00:13:03,949
[Corey] This is the pivotal moment,

251
00:13:04,016 --> 00:13:08,187
we know that cardiovascular conditioning
possessed by Finn Balor

252
00:13:08,254 --> 00:13:09,855
and the same could be said for Thatcher

253
00:13:09,922 --> 00:13:12,558
who is already making his way
back to a vertical base.

254
00:13:13,626 --> 00:13:15,728
[Vic] Balor answering back,
so does Thatcher.

255
00:13:17,263 --> 00:13:19,131
Both superstars center of the ring.

256
00:13:19,198 --> 00:13:22,768
What an opening contest
here at NXT Takeover XXX.

257
00:13:22,835 --> 00:13:24,904
[Corey] We are just getting started,
to be perfectly honest,

258
00:13:24,970 --> 00:13:26,472
I can watch these two fight all night.

259
00:13:26,539 --> 00:13:28,908
[Beth] Two athletes
in their physical prime.

260
00:13:28,974 --> 00:13:30,876
[crowd cheering]

261
00:13:30,943 --> 00:13:34,847
[Vic] Oh! Again Balor
answering back with a flurry of rights,

262
00:13:34,914 --> 00:13:38,684
a flurry of lefts and Thatcher-- Oh!

263
00:13:39,118 --> 00:13:40,686
-[Corey] Wow!
-[Beth] Wow!

264
00:13:40,753 --> 00:13:42,655
[Vic] Oh, what a kick by Balor.

265
00:13:43,422 --> 00:13:45,391
[Corey] Balor answers
with the overhead kick.

266
00:13:45,457 --> 00:13:48,260
Both men are down, we are back at zero.

267
00:13:48,327 --> 00:13:49,461
[crowd cheering]

268
00:13:49,528 --> 00:13:51,697
[Beth] Thatcher went wobbly in the legs.

269
00:13:51,764 --> 00:13:54,366
[crowd cheering]

270
00:13:54,433 --> 00:13:56,635
[Corey] You're absolutely right, Beth.
There's a chance Finn could have

271
00:13:56,702 --> 00:14:00,539
capitalized had he been in better
physical condition himself at the moment.

272
00:14:00,606 --> 00:14:02,675
Let's take another look.
The overhead kick.

273
00:14:02,741 --> 00:14:05,511
I don't know that Finn got
as much of it as he intended,

274
00:14:05,578 --> 00:14:07,413
but certainly enough to rock Thatcher.

275
00:14:07,880 --> 00:14:10,616
[Vic] You see Balor trying to
shake feeling back into his left arm

276
00:14:11,684 --> 00:14:14,420
as Finn Balor charging in once

277
00:14:14,486 --> 00:14:17,523
but now Finn Balor keeps his foot
on the gas into this matchup,

278
00:14:17,590 --> 00:14:18,958
charges in the second time.

279
00:14:19,024 --> 00:14:21,427
[Beth] Balor amping up the aggression.

280
00:14:21,493 --> 00:14:22,828
[they groan]

281
00:14:22,895 --> 00:14:24,697
-[Vic] Oh.
-[Corey] One of the Sling Blade

282
00:14:24,763 --> 00:14:26,098
but Thatcher wouldn't let it happen.

283
00:14:26,565 --> 00:14:29,969
[Vic] Countered again by a knee and once
again Thatcher looking for a submission.

284
00:14:30,035 --> 00:14:32,338
Balor takes him out,
stomp to the midsection.

285
00:14:32,404 --> 00:14:36,275
[crowd cheering]

286
00:14:36,342 --> 00:14:39,378
[Corey] The adrenaline is
pumping through Finn Balor's body.

287
00:14:39,979 --> 00:14:43,082
Momentum beginning to shift
toward the Prince's side.

288
00:14:43,148 --> 00:14:46,619
[Beth] And Thatcher gasping for air
after that stomp to the sternum.

289
00:14:46,685 --> 00:14:48,654
[crowd cheering]

290
00:14:48,721 --> 00:14:50,756
[Vic] Now Balor trying to
hoist up Thatcher.

291
00:14:51,390 --> 00:14:52,925
Thatcher though able to counter.

292
00:14:52,992 --> 00:14:56,562
[crowd chatter]

293
00:14:56,629 --> 00:14:58,964
[Vic] Balor doing whatever he can
to wiggle himself free.

294
00:14:59,031 --> 00:15:00,699
and does, but another forearm by Thatcher.

295
00:15:00,766 --> 00:15:02,501
[crowd cheering]

296
00:15:02,568 --> 00:15:04,970
[Beth] Both of these men
jockeying for leverage.

297
00:15:05,804 --> 00:15:07,339
[Corey] Beautiful counter by Balor.

298
00:15:07,406 --> 00:15:10,075
He might have been thinking
about 1916, but--

299
00:15:10,142 --> 00:15:12,478
[Vic] Both these superstars going
around and now, wait a minute,

300
00:15:12,544 --> 00:15:15,547
it's the Abdominal Stretch
this time by Finn Balor.

301
00:15:15,981 --> 00:15:17,916
[Beth] Balor has it cinched in tight.

302
00:15:19,251 --> 00:15:21,887
[Corey] This is such a valuable maneuver,
in the scenario like this,

303
00:15:21,954 --> 00:15:24,957
Finn Balor has been beaten up,
Finn is hurting right now,

304
00:15:25,024 --> 00:15:26,692
that allowed him a moment to recover.

305
00:15:26,759 --> 00:15:29,995
-Here we go.
-[Vic] Balor planting Thatcher.

306
00:15:30,062 --> 00:15:32,631
Into the cover, hooks the inside leg

307
00:15:32,698 --> 00:15:36,602
and Thatcher this time
got the right shoulder up at two.

308
00:15:36,669 --> 00:15:38,737
[crowd cheering]

309
00:15:38,804 --> 00:15:42,308
[Corey] An eyelash away
from a victory for Finn Balor.

310
00:15:42,374 --> 00:15:44,710
[Vic] Balor still trying to
shake feeling back into his arm,

311
00:15:44,777 --> 00:15:47,179
dropkick, knocks Thatcher
into the turnbuckle.

312
00:15:47,246 --> 00:15:51,383
[crowd cheering]

313
00:15:51,450 --> 00:15:54,119
[Vic] And look
where Thatcher's at for Finn Balor.

314
00:15:54,787 --> 00:15:55,654
[Beth] Uh-oh.

315
00:15:55,721 --> 00:15:58,123
[Corey] Finn is gonna have to
fly a long way.

316
00:15:58,991 --> 00:16:03,028
Thatcher disoriented
down to the mat, Finn perched up top.

317
00:16:03,362 --> 00:16:06,432
[Vic] Waiting for coup de grace,
no one there but Balor-- Wait a minute!

318
00:16:06,498 --> 00:16:07,566
Balor's left leg.

319
00:16:07,633 --> 00:16:09,501
Don't forget what happened
earlier on to the matchup.

320
00:16:09,568 --> 00:16:11,704
[Corey] Finn has sustained
a great deal of damage.

321
00:16:12,371 --> 00:16:13,939
Thatcher's gonna capitalize.

322
00:16:14,006 --> 00:16:15,774
[Vic] Realizing now
Thatcher trying to go in,

323
00:16:15,841 --> 00:16:18,510
trying to hook another submission
on Balor who's continuing to fight.

324
00:16:18,577 --> 00:16:20,913
The Single Leg Crab
is locked in and, Graves,

325
00:16:20,979 --> 00:16:23,549
look at to bend in the knee of Finn Balor.

326
00:16:23,615 --> 00:16:26,885
[Corey] This match is slipping away
from Finn second by second.

327
00:16:26,952 --> 00:16:29,555
[Beth] This looks eerily familiar, guys.

328
00:16:29,621 --> 00:16:32,091
[crowd cheering]

329
00:16:32,157 --> 00:16:33,625
[Vic] Balor not gonna give up.

330
00:16:33,692 --> 00:16:37,129
Finn Balor, oh, is Balor gonna tap out?
Is Balor gonna tap out

331
00:16:37,196 --> 00:16:38,630
here at NXT Takeover XXX?

332
00:16:38,697 --> 00:16:40,265
Balor gets to the bottom rope.

333
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:44,536
[Corey] A last gasp effort pays off
in the moment for Finn

334
00:16:44,603 --> 00:16:46,872
but Thatcher continuing the onslaught.

335
00:16:46,939 --> 00:16:48,741
[Vic] Thatcher one more time-- Oh!

336
00:16:49,475 --> 00:16:50,676
Hear the kicks.

337
00:16:51,210 --> 00:16:52,711
-[Beth] And you--
-[Vic] Oh!

338
00:16:52,778 --> 00:16:56,682
[Beth] You see Thatcher not,
for a second, letting go of a joint,

339
00:16:56,749 --> 00:16:59,084
just going to the arm
straight from the ankle.

340
00:16:59,585 --> 00:17:02,254
[Vic] Now Thatcher trying to transition
but Balor this time

341
00:17:02,321 --> 00:17:03,589
swift kick to the ribs.

342
00:17:04,623 --> 00:17:06,458
[Corey] Finn returning the favor.

343
00:17:07,626 --> 00:17:09,762
Boot right to the body of Thatcher.

344
00:17:11,764 --> 00:17:13,165
[Beth] Got him good with that one.

345
00:17:14,400 --> 00:17:15,567
[Vic] And oh!

346
00:17:16,468 --> 00:17:20,372
Timothy Thatcher connects with a kick.
And now Thatcher, German Suplex.

347
00:17:21,073 --> 00:17:22,274
Balor is rocked.

348
00:17:22,875 --> 00:17:26,378
[Corey] Finn was folded in half
by the German Suplex

349
00:17:26,445 --> 00:17:28,147
delivered by Timothy Thatcher.

350
00:17:28,213 --> 00:17:32,284
[Vic] That last kick to Thatcher's ribs
really now for Thatcher like--

351
00:17:32,351 --> 00:17:34,686
[Corey] As hard as Finn strikes
with those kicks,

352
00:17:34,753 --> 00:17:36,922
doesn't take one to break a rib.

353
00:17:36,989 --> 00:17:39,691
[Vic] Oh, wait a minute, Thatcher is again
looking to take down Balor.

354
00:17:39,758 --> 00:17:42,094
Balor able to counter back
into another submission.

355
00:17:42,161 --> 00:17:44,029
Roll-through-- And the shoulders down.

356
00:17:44,596 --> 00:17:46,799
And able to
roll through again was Thatcher

357
00:17:46,865 --> 00:17:50,102
but look at the submission
locked in this time by Finn Balor.

358
00:17:50,169 --> 00:17:54,139
[Corey] Balor now taking his turn
to put on his grappling clinic.

359
00:17:54,206 --> 00:17:57,743
[Beth] The left leg woven
in front of Thatcher's left leg

360
00:17:57,810 --> 00:18:00,012
to keep the hold at maximum torque.

361
00:18:00,879 --> 00:18:03,415
[Vic] But Beth, look at Timothy Thatcher
trying to break the grip

362
00:18:03,482 --> 00:18:06,385
and Thatcher does
and now bending back the digits of Balor.

363
00:18:07,486 --> 00:18:09,855
And that breaks the hold
and again the transition

364
00:18:09,922 --> 00:18:12,024
from the upper body
back to an ankle lock now.

365
00:18:12,958 --> 00:18:16,562
Center of the ring ankle lock
and look at the face of Timothy Thatcher.

366
00:18:17,262 --> 00:18:18,797
Thatcher can sense victory.

367
00:18:19,031 --> 00:18:22,101
Balor trying to crawl,
trying to do whatever he can.

368
00:18:22,568 --> 00:18:24,269
And rolling through. Wait a minute.

369
00:18:24,336 --> 00:18:26,939
Balor stomp right to the midsection again.

370
00:18:27,005 --> 00:18:29,508
[crowd chatter]

371
00:18:29,575 --> 00:18:31,944
[Corey] And once again somehow some way

372
00:18:32,010 --> 00:18:35,114
finding the means to stay in this battle.

373
00:18:35,180 --> 00:18:37,516
[Beth] You can hear
Thatcher coughing, gasping,

374
00:18:37,583 --> 00:18:40,619
clutching his chest to suck in that air.

375
00:18:40,686 --> 00:18:44,056
[crowd cheering]

376
00:18:44,123 --> 00:18:46,125
[Corey] But credit to Thatcher still
moving forward.

377
00:18:46,191 --> 00:18:49,061
Let's take another look at
the beautiful roll-through by Balor.

378
00:18:50,062 --> 00:18:52,931
And the double stomp
to the body of Timothy Thatcher.

379
00:18:53,165 --> 00:18:54,766
[Vic] Oh, Balor looking for a double stomp

380
00:18:54,833 --> 00:18:57,603
and he could be looking for more
of the coup de grace as now again,

381
00:18:57,669 --> 00:19:02,474
Balor for the second time in this matchup,
scaling all the way to the top rope.

382
00:19:02,541 --> 00:19:05,244
Balor looking down on Timothy Thatcher,

383
00:19:05,310 --> 00:19:07,779
Balor connects this time coup de grace.

384
00:19:08,380 --> 00:19:11,216
[Corey] A coup de grace
right to the heart of Timothy Thatcher.

385
00:19:11,283 --> 00:19:13,685
[Vic] But Balor's leg,
Balor's left ankle and knee.

386
00:19:13,952 --> 00:19:15,787
[Beth] Balor's struggling to walk.

387
00:19:15,854 --> 00:19:19,324
[crowd chatter]

388
00:19:19,391 --> 00:19:21,860
[Corey] 1916 DDT.

389
00:19:21,927 --> 00:19:24,363
[Vic] Balor got all of it, into the cover

390
00:19:24,429 --> 00:19:29,001
and Finn Balor picks up
his 12th NXT Takeover win.

391
00:19:29,067 --> 00:19:32,671
[announcer]
Here is your winner, Finn Balor.

392
00:19:32,738 --> 00:19:35,374
[Vic] Graves, you can take nothing away
from Timothy Thatcher

393
00:19:35,440 --> 00:19:37,376
in that matchup but what an effort.

394
00:19:37,442 --> 00:19:39,845
How about the resiliency of Finn Balor?

395
00:19:39,912 --> 00:19:43,649
[Corey] It's a testament to
why Finn Balor is the prince of NXT.

396
00:19:43,715 --> 00:19:47,319
The will to excel
on the big stage of Takeover,

397
00:19:47,386 --> 00:19:50,923
but I assure you Finn's gonna know
he was in a fight tomorrow morning.

398
00:19:50,989 --> 00:19:52,124
[music plays]

399
00:19:52,191 --> 00:19:55,494
[Beth] Let's take a look at
some of this wrestling clinic earlier.

400
00:19:56,094 --> 00:19:59,431
Thatcher trying to take advantage
of that injured leg.

401
00:19:59,731 --> 00:20:03,502
But Balor was able to
break the hold earlier on, Vic.

402
00:20:04,570 --> 00:20:07,639
[Vic] It certainly was and then
Finn Balor would find himself

403
00:20:07,706 --> 00:20:09,508
all the way on the top rope.

404
00:20:09,575 --> 00:20:13,779
Look at the height, the air time,
and then Balor sticking the landing.

405
00:20:14,046 --> 00:20:15,280
Look at that coup de grace.

406
00:20:15,347 --> 00:20:17,749
[Corey] Driving all the wind
out of Timothy Thatcher's body

407
00:20:17,816 --> 00:20:20,819
and just for good measure
the exclamation point,

408
00:20:21,687 --> 00:20:24,690
spiking the grappler
in the center of the ring.

409
00:20:25,357 --> 00:20:29,094
Another win at Takeover for Finn Balor.

[music plays]

411
00:20:32,898 --> 00:20:36,602
[Beth] Well, Takeover becomes
synonymous with spectacle

412
00:20:36,668 --> 00:20:42,808
and no one understands the spectacle
and pressure with that more than this man.

413
00:20:42,874 --> 00:20:48,847
[music plays]

414
00:20:48,914 --> 00:20:53,418

and he has brought his limitless posse.

423

[Vic] A lot of gold
on Bayley and Sasha Banks

424
00:21:20,846 --> 00:21:24,182
but at one point Keith Lee
has all the gold here in NXT.

the North American championship last month

Bronson Reed
lately has found his groove, his footing,

[Corey] Big forearm from Cameron Grimes.

667
00:34:37,742 --> 00:34:39,210
[they groan]

668
00:34:39,277 --> 00:34:41,779
[Corey] Oh! Wow!

669
00:34:41,846 --> 00:34:44,549
[Vic] Well, Beth, you mentioned
the size might play into the advantage

670
00:34:44,615 --> 00:34:45,516
of Bronson Reed.

671
00:34:45,583 --> 00:34:47,485
[Beth] It sure is at this moment.

672
00:34:47,552 --> 00:34:50,221
Reed again understanding
the physics of how he use his weight.

673
00:34:50,288 --> 00:34:51,656
[Vic] Wait a minute, look at Gargano.

674
00:34:51,722 --> 00:34:53,224
Gargano trying to climb the ladder,

675
00:34:53,291 --> 00:34:55,493
was close
to the North American Championship.

676
00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:57,328
[Corey] It could be argued that
Johnny is the most agile

677
00:34:57,395 --> 00:35:01,532
of all the competitors in this matchup.
And here is the power of the Colossal One.

678
00:35:01,599 --> 00:35:05,369
[Vic] Well, Gargano holding on,
able to break free for a moment.

679
00:35:06,204 --> 00:35:08,806
-And Damian priest again, oh, no.
-[Beth] Oh, no.

680
00:35:08,873 --> 00:35:11,042
[Vic] Priest looking to take Gargano
for the ride, and again,

681
00:35:11,109 --> 00:35:12,376
Johnny able to get free.

682
00:35:12,443 --> 00:35:15,179
[Beth] Nimble Johnny Gargano
taking advantage of every situation.

683
00:35:15,246 --> 00:35:18,616
[crowd chatter]

684
00:35:18,683 --> 00:35:20,785
-[they groan]
-[Vic] Gargano--oh.

685
00:35:20,852 --> 00:35:24,522
Cameron Grimes--
And Dream chops down Bronson Reed.

686
00:35:24,589 --> 00:35:26,324
And now-- Oh!

687
00:35:26,991 --> 00:35:29,260
A little bit of teamwork
in this five-man ladder match.

688
00:35:29,327 --> 00:35:31,662
[Corey] It's a necessary union
in this environment,

689
00:35:31,729 --> 00:35:34,232
but I'd be willing to bet
it's not gonna last long.

690
00:35:34,298 --> 00:35:35,900
Let's get them. Let's get them.

691
00:35:35,967 --> 00:35:38,436
[Beth] Bronson Reed has been a force.
It looks like this four--

692
00:35:38,503 --> 00:35:40,771
[Vic] Well, wait a minute.
Johnny was calling out the play

693
00:35:40,838 --> 00:35:42,573
and then Gargano
tried to get up the ladder.

694
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:44,242
-Let me try it.
-No, I won't.

695
00:35:44,308 --> 00:35:46,844
We work together to get them,
okay? It's all right.

696
00:35:46,911 --> 00:35:48,746
[crowd chatter]

697
00:35:48,813 --> 00:35:51,115
-[Corey] They reached a temporary accord.
-[Beth] Interesting.

698
00:35:51,182 --> 00:35:52,183
[Corey] In a ladder match.

699
00:35:52,250 --> 00:35:55,019
[Vic] But now, guys, take a look
at the strategy of Velveteen Dream,

700
00:35:55,086 --> 00:35:59,190
Johnny Gargano, and Cameron Grimes
beating down the larger two opponents.

701
00:35:59,257 --> 00:36:00,458
[Corey] Smart strategy.

702
00:36:00,992 --> 00:36:05,363
Repeated shots with the ladder
of the body of Priest and Reed.

703
00:36:05,429 --> 00:36:08,032
Now look at the ruthlessness
from Velveteen Dream.

704
00:36:08,799 --> 00:36:11,068
[Vic] That's a new type
of aggression, Beth,

705
00:36:11,135 --> 00:36:13,271
you were hinting that earlier
about Velveteen Dream.

706
00:36:13,804 --> 00:36:15,273
Come on, country boy, hurry up!

707
00:36:15,339 --> 00:36:19,043
[Beth] Wow. Dream's trash-talking
in an all-time high,

708
00:36:19,110 --> 00:36:21,312
but his aggression
paying dividends in this.

709
00:36:21,379 --> 00:36:22,747
[they groan]

710
00:36:22,813 --> 00:36:25,082
[Vic] But again, guys,
take a look at what Cameron Grimes,

711
00:36:25,149 --> 00:36:26,784
Velveteen Dream, and-- Oh!

712
00:36:26,851 --> 00:36:28,386
I spoke a little too soon.

713
00:36:28,452 --> 00:36:29,787
[they groan]

714
00:36:29,854 --> 00:36:32,190
And Dream now turning things around.

715
00:36:33,024 --> 00:36:34,892
[crowd chatter]

716
00:36:34,959 --> 00:36:37,628
[Corey] It should've taken a lot out of
Cameron Grimes with that last forearm.

717
00:36:37,695 --> 00:36:40,598
[Vic] Well, now, it seems that
it's Velveteen Dream and Johnny-- Oh!

718
00:36:40,665 --> 00:36:43,868
And again, this time Gargano
turns things around on Dream.

719
00:36:43,935 --> 00:36:45,303
[they groan]

720
00:36:45,369 --> 00:36:46,904
-[Beth] Oh!
-[Vic] Oh!

721
00:36:46,971 --> 00:36:49,807
[Corey] Danger is
at an all-time high right now.

722
00:36:49,874 --> 00:36:52,743
[Beth] There is nothing
forgiving about that ladder.

723
00:36:52,810 --> 00:36:54,312
-[they groan]
-[Vic] Oh!

724
00:36:56,047 --> 00:36:58,583
[Corey] A stage dive
into the ladders in the corner.

725
00:36:58,649 --> 00:37:01,819
[Vic] I mean, this quickly is turning
into human demolition derby.

726
00:37:01,886 --> 00:37:03,688
-[fan] Oh, no.
-[Vic] Oh, no.

727
00:37:03,754 --> 00:37:05,523
-[Beth] Oh!
-[crowd chatter]

728
00:37:05,590 --> 00:37:06,724
[Corey] Atomic Drop!

729
00:37:07,391 --> 00:37:08,226
[they groan]

730
00:37:08,292 --> 00:37:11,562
[Vic] Bronson Reed taken out the field.

731
00:37:11,629 --> 00:37:13,864
[Corey] Like a wrecking ball
in the corner.

732
00:37:13,931 --> 00:37:17,234
Velveteen still precariously
perched on the top rope.

733
00:37:18,035 --> 00:37:20,671
[Beth] Reed's sifting through the carnage.

734
00:37:20,738 --> 00:37:26,377
[crowd] This is awesome! This is awesome!

735
00:37:26,444 --> 00:37:29,580
[Vic] Bronson Reed has wiped out
all four of the other competitors.

736
00:37:29,647 --> 00:37:32,183
But now Bronson Reed leaving his feet.

737
00:37:33,184 --> 00:37:36,387
What is on the mind
of Reed in this moment?

738
00:37:36,454 --> 00:37:39,423
And quickly again, Corey,
we talked about earlier all the bodies

739
00:37:39,490 --> 00:37:40,491
just flying around the ring.

740
00:37:40,558 --> 00:37:42,393
[Corey] You're not gonna get
many opportunities.

741
00:37:42,460 --> 00:37:45,763
You have to capitalize on any opening,
no matter how slight.

742
00:37:45,830 --> 00:37:48,032
That's what all five
of these guys are trying to do.

743
00:37:48,099 --> 00:37:49,600
[they groan]

744
00:37:49,667 --> 00:37:52,570
-[Beth] Uh-oh. Uh-oh.
-[Corey] Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

745
00:37:52,637 --> 00:37:54,138
[Vic] Oh, no.

746
00:37:54,205 --> 00:37:56,073
-[crowd cheering]
-[Vic] Oh.

747
00:37:56,140 --> 00:37:58,109
[Corey] There is
your demolition derby, Vic.

748
00:37:58,175 --> 00:38:01,412
[crowd cheering]

749
00:38:07,084 --> 00:38:09,420
[Corey] Let's take another look
at this carnage.

750
00:38:09,487 --> 00:38:10,921
-[crowd cheering]
-[Vic] Oh.

751
00:38:10,988 --> 00:38:12,923
[Corey] Like a car crash at high speed.

752
00:38:13,791 --> 00:38:15,660
Bronson Reed taking down everybody.

753
00:38:15,726 --> 00:38:18,229
[Vic] But guys,
there's only one person left standing,

754
00:38:18,296 --> 00:38:20,398
-and that's Johnny Gargano.
-[Beth] And he's moving swiftly

755
00:38:20,464 --> 00:38:21,666
toward the prize.

756
00:38:21,732 --> 00:38:24,201
[crowd cheering]

757
00:38:24,268 --> 00:38:26,037
[Vic] Gargano trying to set up the ladder

758
00:38:26,103 --> 00:38:28,673
to retrieve
the North American Championship.

759
00:38:28,739 --> 00:38:31,242
But Bronson Reed in Gargano's way.

760
00:38:31,876 --> 00:38:33,577
[Beth] A game of cat and mouse.

761
00:38:34,912 --> 00:38:36,681
[Vic] A game of cat and mouse,
you're right, Beth.

762
00:38:36,747 --> 00:38:38,916
And again, the strength of Bronson Reed.

763
00:38:38,983 --> 00:38:41,452
But now Cameron Grimes,
Grimes scaling the ladder.

764
00:38:41,519 --> 00:38:43,387
Grimes is up almost near the top.

765
00:38:43,454 --> 00:38:44,722
-[Corey] Good lord!
-[Vic] Oh!

766
00:38:44,789 --> 00:38:45,656
[Beth] Oh and--

767
00:38:45,723 --> 00:38:48,759
[Corey] Grimes suffered
some severe whiplash across the top rope.

768
00:38:48,826 --> 00:38:51,696
[Beth] That speaks
to the unpredictability of the ladder.

769
00:38:52,563 --> 00:38:55,733
[Vic] Well, now, Damian Priest,
this could be Priest's opportunity.

770
00:38:55,800 --> 00:38:58,836
Is Damian Priest gonna retrieve
the North American Championship?

771
00:38:58,903 --> 00:39:00,504
Priest's fingers are on the gold.

772
00:39:01,072 --> 00:39:03,407
Priest is reaching up. Damian Priest.

773
00:39:04,442 --> 00:39:09,246
[Corey] Velveteen preventing Priest
from reaching the championship.

774
00:39:09,313 --> 00:39:11,782
[Beth] Priest the tallest competitor
in this matchup.

775
00:39:13,017 --> 00:39:13,851
Wow!

776
00:39:13,918 --> 00:39:16,053
[Vic] And look at Velveteen Dream
wearing out Priest.

777
00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:17,755
Now Dream trying to switch gears.

778
00:39:17,822 --> 00:39:21,058
And Priest kicking out
the feet of Velveteen Dream.

779
00:39:21,559 --> 00:39:24,662
[Corey] Beautiful maneuver
by Damian Priest the Archer of Infamy

780
00:39:24,729 --> 00:39:27,431
attempting to make the long climb now.

781
00:39:27,765 --> 00:39:32,036
[Vic] And again, Cameron Grimes
trying to get right back into this affair

782
00:39:32,103 --> 00:39:35,406
and trying his best
to chop down Damian Priest.

783
00:39:36,207 --> 00:39:37,808
Priest though answering back.

784
00:39:37,875 --> 00:39:41,178
[Corey] Educated feet
of Damien Priest are lethal.

785
00:39:41,245 --> 00:39:42,079
[crowd chatter]

786
00:39:42,146 --> 00:39:45,149
[Vic] Priest again,
that time superkick by Gargano.

787
00:39:45,216 --> 00:39:48,552
Might not gotten all of the kick,
certainly got enough to rock Priest.

788
00:39:48,619 --> 00:39:51,388
[Beth] Phenomenal reaction time
by Johnny Gargano.

789
00:39:53,524 --> 00:39:56,260
[Vic] And Dream trying to
pick up the scraps. Out goes Gargano.

790
00:39:56,327 --> 00:39:58,429
But Dream doesn't see what's behind him.

791
00:39:59,096 --> 00:40:00,664
-Oh.
-[Beth] Maybe it was better that way.

792
00:40:00,731 --> 00:40:02,433
[crowd chatter]

793
00:40:02,500 --> 00:40:05,035
[Vic] And Bronson Reed
now with that ladder,

794
00:40:06,470 --> 00:40:10,241
using it to take out everyone
standing in his way, but, oh!

795
00:40:10,708 --> 00:40:15,746
[Corey] Oh, Johnny had a great idea in
mind in theory but not so much execution.

796
00:40:15,813 --> 00:40:19,483
[Vic] He went for the one final beat DDT
with the help of the ladder.

797
00:40:20,918 --> 00:40:22,186
Johnny on his feet.

798
00:40:22,253 --> 00:40:24,455
And again now
using the ropes to his advantage.

799
00:40:24,522 --> 00:40:28,259
Dream, however, staggered, did not fall.

800
00:40:29,193 --> 00:40:30,861
And Dream now-- Whoa.

801
00:40:31,962 --> 00:40:34,432
And Damien Priest in harm's way.

802
00:40:34,498 --> 00:40:37,468
And again, Johnny Gargano,
the only superstar standing.

803
00:40:37,535 --> 00:40:39,970
-[crowd chatter]
-[they groan]

804
00:40:40,037 --> 00:40:41,338
[Vic] Gargano.

805
00:40:41,405 --> 00:40:42,840
[cheers and applause]

806
00:40:42,907 --> 00:40:45,209
[Vic] Johnny Takeover beginning to shine.

807
00:40:46,444 --> 00:40:47,778
[Corey] Holy cow!

808
00:40:48,479 --> 00:40:49,847
What was that?

809
00:40:50,314 --> 00:40:52,183
[Vic] And Dream off the top rope.

810
00:40:52,249 --> 00:40:53,884
[Beth] Guys, no time to celebrate.

811
00:40:53,951 --> 00:40:57,221
[crowd chatter]

812
00:40:57,288 --> 00:41:01,759
-[Vic] And there comes Bronson Reed.
-[Corey] The big fella joining the party.

813
00:41:01,826 --> 00:41:03,127
Everybody's down.

814
00:41:04,028 --> 00:41:06,263
[Beth] The Beast from the East
would be proud.

815
00:41:07,264 --> 00:41:10,568
[Vic] Beth, you talked about
Bronson Reed's size early in the matchup,

816
00:41:10,634 --> 00:41:12,002
it's certainly paying off now.

817
00:41:12,069 --> 00:41:14,071
[Beth] It's been the difference maker
in this matchup.

818
00:41:14,138 --> 00:41:15,639
Take a look at this.

819
00:41:17,675 --> 00:41:21,545
[Corey] I was hoping it would be in
slower motion, it still happened so fast,

820
00:41:21,612 --> 00:41:23,581
I'm not entirely even sure
what you call that.

821
00:41:23,647 --> 00:41:27,151
And then Bronson Reed
wants to join the party,

822
00:41:27,218 --> 00:41:29,620
takes out Gargano and Velveteen.

823
00:41:29,687 --> 00:41:31,288
[crowd cheering]

824
00:41:31,355 --> 00:41:34,658
[Corey] The intensity is
through the roof here at the NXT Arena.

825
00:41:34,725 --> 00:41:37,328
[Beth] But there is the Vulture,
Cameron Grimes

826
00:41:37,394 --> 00:41:38,696
finding an opportunity.

827
00:41:40,498 --> 00:41:43,133
[Vic] Well, it's all about
opportunity to climb the ladder

828
00:41:43,200 --> 00:41:45,870
to retrieve
the North American Championship.

829
00:41:46,871 --> 00:41:49,406
And Cameron Grimes could be moments away

830
00:41:49,473 --> 00:41:51,141
from calling himself champion.

831
00:41:51,208 --> 00:41:53,911
[crowd chatter]

832
00:41:53,978 --> 00:41:56,180
[Vic] And Damien Priest!

833
00:41:56,914 --> 00:41:59,183
[Corey] It wasn't fancy, just effective.

834
00:42:00,684 --> 00:42:02,653
[Vic] Oh, what is at Priest's mind?

835
00:42:02,853 --> 00:42:05,689
[Corey] We're gonna find out
any second, Vic.

836
00:42:05,756 --> 00:42:07,691
[crowd cheering]

837
00:42:07,758 --> 00:42:09,393
[Vic] Damien Priest.

838
00:42:10,995 --> 00:42:15,699
[Corey] Running up the ladder,
sacrificing his own well-being.

839
00:42:15,766 --> 00:42:21,171
[crowd] Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit!

840
00:42:21,238 --> 00:42:25,142
[Vic] The wreckage here
at NXT Takeover XXX, Beth, take a look.

841
00:42:25,209 --> 00:42:31,248
[Beth] Unbelievable height, risk,
it's just incredible, took my breath away.

842
00:42:31,749 --> 00:42:35,185
[Corey] It achieved
the desired result for Damien Priest.

843
00:42:35,252 --> 00:42:40,124
However, everyone needs to realize
Cameron Grimes is--

844
00:42:40,190 --> 00:42:42,927
[Vic] Well, there is Candice LeRae
coming on to check on her husband,

845
00:42:42,993 --> 00:42:45,462
but Cameron Grimes--
Grimes has setup the ladder.

846
00:42:45,529 --> 00:42:48,198
Grimes is scaling the ladder.
Fingertips on the championship,

847
00:42:48,265 --> 00:42:49,667
and then there's Candice LeRae.

848
00:42:49,733 --> 00:42:52,269
-[Cameron] Get out of here!
-[crowd chatter]

849
00:42:52,336 --> 00:42:54,338
[Corey] Maybe Candice
just wants directions to the moon.

850
00:42:54,405 --> 00:42:56,206
[Vic] And this is all legal, guys.

851
00:42:56,674 --> 00:42:57,808
[Cameron] What are you doing?

852
00:42:57,875 --> 00:42:59,977
[crowd chatter]

853
00:43:00,044 --> 00:43:03,447
What are you doing?
You're not supposed to be in here.

854
00:43:03,514 --> 00:43:07,084
[crowd chatter]

855
00:43:07,151 --> 00:43:08,686
-[Beth] Oh.
-[Vic] Oh.

856
00:43:08,752 --> 00:43:10,154
And Candice LeRae…

857
00:43:12,156 --> 00:43:14,458
…taking out Cameron Grimes.

858
00:43:14,858 --> 00:43:15,693
LeRae.

859
00:43:16,927 --> 00:43:18,295
-Oh.
-[Corey] Oh, my god.

860
00:43:19,863 --> 00:43:23,067
Right to the face of Cameron Grimes.

861
00:43:23,133 --> 00:43:25,803
Gargano coming
to the aid of Candice LeRae.

862
00:43:25,869 --> 00:43:27,805
[Beth] Lerae has--
She might have a plan here.

863
00:43:29,206 --> 00:43:31,775
[Corey] And this is all legal.
There's no disqualification.

864
00:43:32,343 --> 00:43:36,380
[Vic] Well, there is that,
and Candice LeRae helping out her husband.

865
00:43:37,348 --> 00:43:38,983
[Corey] That's a ride or die for you.

866
00:43:39,049 --> 00:43:42,853
[Vic] Is this the Johnny Gargano way
here at NXT Takeover XXX?

867
00:43:42,920 --> 00:43:46,156
[Beth] LeRae has just bought Gargano
a whole heck of a lot of time.

868
00:43:46,223 --> 00:43:47,458
[crowd chatter]

869
00:43:47,524 --> 00:43:51,629
[Vic] Precious moments now
for Gargano to setup the ladder.

870
00:43:51,695 --> 00:43:52,963
Johnny is looking up.

871
00:43:53,030 --> 00:43:54,698
Johnny is looking to become

872
00:43:54,765 --> 00:43:58,702
the first-ever two-time
NXT North American champion.

873
00:43:59,236 --> 00:44:01,872
[Corey] Bronson slowly
re-entering the fray.

874
00:44:01,939 --> 00:44:04,008
[Vic] Gargano to the top. Johnny not--

875
00:44:04,241 --> 00:44:07,645
Oh, man. Gargano just saw Bronson Reed,

876
00:44:07,711 --> 00:44:08,912
and look at Reed.

877
00:44:08,979 --> 00:44:11,715
And now it's Bronson Reed inches away.

878
00:44:13,083 --> 00:44:14,184
Reed reaching up.

879
00:44:14,251 --> 00:44:16,387
[Corey] Well, I hope
this ladder is reinforced.

880
00:44:16,453 --> 00:44:19,923
[Vic] Oh! Gargano crashing hard
down to the mat.

881
00:44:19,990 --> 00:44:21,025
[Beth] Oh, no.

882
00:44:21,592 --> 00:44:23,260
[Vic] And once again Bronson Reed--

883
00:44:23,927 --> 00:44:27,431
Reed is gonna get the championship
but again it's Candice LeRae.

884
00:44:28,699 --> 00:44:30,334
LeRae swatting away the title.

885
00:44:30,934 --> 00:44:32,870
-[Beth] Uh-oh.
-[Vic] Lerae keeping the title away.

886
00:44:32,936 --> 00:44:33,837
Oh, no.

887
00:44:35,039 --> 00:44:36,907
-[Beth] Oh, no.
-[Vic] Oh, no.

888
00:44:39,309 --> 00:44:44,648
-[Corey] Someone call the medics.
-[crowd cheering]

889
00:44:44,715 --> 00:44:47,151
[Corey] The Wednesday night's
been squashed.

890
00:44:47,217 --> 00:44:51,522
[crowd chatter]

891
00:44:54,425 --> 00:44:56,326
-[Corey] Look at--
-[Vic] All the way from the top.

892
00:44:56,393 --> 00:44:57,694
I can't believe that, Corey.

893
00:44:57,761 --> 00:45:01,532
[Corey] That is unbelievable,
immeasurable impact.

894
00:45:01,598 --> 00:45:06,570
Bronson Reed from
way atop the ladder with Candice LeRae,

895
00:45:06,637 --> 00:45:09,106
Johnny's beloved wife on his back.

896
00:45:09,173 --> 00:45:11,542
My goodness, talk about insult and injury.

897
00:45:11,608 --> 00:45:14,311
[Beth] Well, at least
they've got each other, Graves. And--

898
00:45:14,378 --> 00:45:16,847
[Vic] Yeah, but could
Bronson Reed reach up?

899
00:45:16,914 --> 00:45:20,718
Could Bronson Reed be
the new North American champion?

900
00:45:20,784 --> 00:45:21,985
Reed climbing

901
00:45:22,986 --> 00:45:24,855
rung by rung.

902
00:45:24,922 --> 00:45:26,924
[crowd cheering]

903
00:45:26,990 --> 00:45:28,425
[Vic] Reed almost to the top.

904
00:45:28,492 --> 00:45:32,663
[Corey] Damien Priest trying to give chase
but Bronson Reed just fingertips away.

905
00:45:32,730 --> 00:45:34,064
[Vic] Reed is so close.

906
00:45:34,131 --> 00:45:37,000
And Cameron Grimes
on an even bigger ladder.

907
00:45:37,067 --> 00:45:38,569
[Beth] What is Grimes thinking?

908
00:45:40,304 --> 00:45:42,339
[Corey] I've been asking myself
that question all day.

909
00:45:42,973 --> 00:45:45,909
[Vic] Oh! Well, Bronson Reed
realized where Grant--

910
00:45:45,976 --> 00:45:47,478
Where Cameron Grimes was.

911
00:45:47,544 --> 00:45:48,645
And now wait a minute.

912
00:45:48,712 --> 00:45:51,248
Grimes got knocked
but Grimes' sense of balance,

913
00:45:51,315 --> 00:45:53,150
able to knock off Damien Priest.

914
00:45:53,217 --> 00:45:55,252
Cameron Grimes
is gonna win the championship.

915
00:45:55,319 --> 00:45:56,920
Grimes all the way at the top.

916
00:45:57,688 --> 00:45:59,656
-[Beth] Whoa.
-[Vic] Oh.

917
00:45:59,723 --> 00:46:01,258
[Corey] Dream got his leg caught.

918
00:46:01,325 --> 00:46:06,396
[Vic] What a kick, and Dream getting
all tangled into that steel ladder.

919
00:46:06,463 --> 00:46:09,032
[Beth] And now Grimes
struggling to set it back up.

920
00:46:09,099 --> 00:46:13,237
[crowd chatter]

921
00:46:13,303 --> 00:46:15,405
[Corey] Cameron Grimes
looking to get a little creative.

922
00:46:15,472 --> 00:46:16,673
[Cameron groans]

923
00:46:16,740 --> 00:46:18,108
-[Beth] Whoa, whoa!
-[Vic] Whoa!

924
00:46:19,576 --> 00:46:21,311
Right hand by Velveteen Dream.

925
00:46:21,378 --> 00:46:23,847
And at this point, Corey,
I mean, you just got to hit

926
00:46:23,914 --> 00:46:25,082
anything that moves.

927
00:46:25,482 --> 00:46:26,950
[Corey] You're absolutely right, Vic.

928
00:46:27,017 --> 00:46:29,486
At this deep into the matchup,
everybody feeling the effects,

929
00:46:29,553 --> 00:46:31,655
everybody's bodies wrapped with pain.

930
00:46:32,122 --> 00:46:34,892
You have to make the most
of any potential scenario.

931
00:46:34,958 --> 00:46:36,727
[Beth] I mean,
every square inch of the ring

932
00:46:36,794 --> 00:46:39,096
is virtually covered in twisted steel.

933
00:46:39,163 --> 00:46:41,398
[crowd chatter]

934
00:46:41,465 --> 00:46:44,868
[Corey] Dream delivering
a sharp forearm to Cameron Grimes.

935
00:46:44,935 --> 00:46:47,805
[Vic] Well, Velveteen Dream
also has constructed

936
00:46:47,871 --> 00:46:53,477
this a little bit of maybe mayhem here
on the outside with these ladders.

937
00:46:53,544 --> 00:46:56,079
And now Dream setting up that huge ladder.

938
00:46:56,146 --> 00:46:59,416
[crowd cheering]

939
00:46:59,483 --> 00:47:03,787
[Vic] All five of these superstars
trying to accomplish one thing.

940
00:47:03,854 --> 00:47:08,192
But for Velveteen Dream, he now
is looking down onto Cameron Grimes.

941
00:47:09,459 --> 00:47:11,128
-[Vic] Dream-- What?
-[Beth] Oh, my god.

942
00:47:11,195 --> 00:47:13,931
[Vic] Dream realizes--
Dream realizes he'd become champion.

943
00:47:13,997 --> 00:47:15,532
Velveteen Dream is at the top.

944
00:47:16,333 --> 00:47:17,534
Dream is right there.

945
00:47:17,601 --> 00:47:19,736
[Corey] He's certainly
not the brightest star in the sky.

946
00:47:20,270 --> 00:47:22,039
[Vic] Oh, and Damien Priest--

947
00:47:23,273 --> 00:47:25,209
Dream up there, now Dream takes a fall.

948
00:47:25,275 --> 00:47:26,310
Priest now reaching up.

949
00:47:26,376 --> 00:47:29,012
Is Damien Priest about to become
the new North American champion?

950
00:47:29,079 --> 00:47:30,414
And now Bronson Reed--

951
00:47:30,480 --> 00:47:32,349
[crowd chatter]

952
00:47:32,416 --> 00:47:35,452
[Corey] You got to respect
the tenacity of all of these individuals.

953
00:47:36,186 --> 00:47:41,558
[Vic] Oh, the strength of Damien Priest
with that Chokeslam on the ladder.

954
00:47:42,159 --> 00:47:45,929
And now Damien Priest, Graves,
has set his eyes on the championship.

955
00:47:45,996 --> 00:47:47,164
-Wait a minute.
-[Beth] Cave In.

956
00:47:47,231 --> 00:47:48,599
[Corey] Running double stomp.

957
00:47:48,665 --> 00:47:50,400
[Vic] The Cave In by Cameron Grimes.

958
00:47:50,834 --> 00:47:52,035
[Beth] Oh, no.

959
00:47:52,936 --> 00:47:54,905
[Vic] Is this Grimes' moment?

960
00:47:55,239 --> 00:47:58,642
-Is this Cameron Grimes' Takeover moment?
-[Beth] We'll never hear the end of it.

961
00:47:58,709 --> 00:48:00,377
[crowd chatter]

962
00:48:00,444 --> 00:48:03,080
[Vic] Cameron Grimes--
Is Grimes headed to the moon?

963
00:48:03,146 --> 00:48:04,114
[Beth] Grimes, you--

964
00:48:04,181 --> 00:48:07,050
[Corey] I got to get find a pickup truck
and get to the after-party.

965
00:48:07,117 --> 00:48:09,019
This is gonna be a big night for Grimes.

966
00:48:09,086 --> 00:48:11,088
[Vic] Cameron Grimes
all the way at the top,

967
00:48:11,154 --> 00:48:14,658
just inches away from the championship
if not for Johnny Gargano.

968
00:48:14,725 --> 00:48:16,693
[Corey] Able to buy grandma
a new spittoon.

969
00:48:16,760 --> 00:48:18,996
[Vic] And Gargano able to duck one kick.

970
00:48:19,062 --> 00:48:22,733
Now Gargano
trying to navigate his way to the top.

971
00:48:22,799 --> 00:48:24,201
-Oh!
-[Corey] Oh!

972
00:48:24,268 --> 00:48:27,838
[crowd chatter]

973
00:48:27,904 --> 00:48:30,674
[Vic] Gargano might have done
as much damage to himself

974
00:48:30,741 --> 00:48:32,042
as he did Cameron Grimes.

975
00:48:32,109 --> 00:48:35,345
But Cameron Grimes might have
just been wiped out of the equation.

976
00:48:35,412 --> 00:48:38,548
[Corey] Cameron Grimes is broken, period.

977
00:48:38,615 --> 00:48:40,384
Look at this once again.

978
00:48:40,450 --> 00:48:42,085
High-risk. Oh!

979
00:48:42,152 --> 00:48:43,587
[crowd cheering]

980
00:48:43,654 --> 00:48:45,389
[Corey] Crushing impact.

981
00:48:45,455 --> 00:48:48,458
Johnny driving the spine of Cameron Grimes

982
00:48:48,525 --> 00:48:50,761
into the unforgiving ladder.

983
00:48:51,428 --> 00:48:53,997
[Beth] Guys, this has been
absolute carnage.

984
00:48:55,832 --> 00:48:57,768
[Corey] And it's only
gonna get worse, Beth.

985
00:48:58,201 --> 00:49:02,139
[Beth] Gargano somehow recovering
from being squashed by Grimes,

986
00:49:02,205 --> 00:49:03,607
Reed and LeRae earlier.

987
00:49:03,674 --> 00:49:06,710
[they groan]

988
00:49:06,777 --> 00:49:08,278
Damien Priest gets caught.

989
00:49:08,345 --> 00:49:11,682
Gargano able to
light up Priest for a moment.

990
00:49:11,748 --> 00:49:13,450
-Oh, no, wait a minute.
-[Beth] Uh-oh.

991
00:49:13,684 --> 00:49:15,118
-[Corey] Uh-uh.
-[Vic] Oh!

992
00:49:15,185 --> 00:49:17,321
Superkick by Velveteen Dream this time.

993
00:49:17,387 --> 00:49:18,455
And Dream taken out.

994
00:49:19,623 --> 00:49:21,858
Bodies continuing to fly everywhere.

995
00:49:21,925 --> 00:49:23,393
[they groan]

996
00:49:23,460 --> 00:49:26,263
[Vic] And I think Johnny
is looking for that one final beat DDT.

997
00:49:26,330 --> 00:49:27,597
Dream had it countered.

998
00:49:28,165 --> 00:49:31,034
-[Beth] Dream's got other plans.
-[Corey] Oh, no, no, no, no, no.

999
00:49:31,368 --> 00:49:34,771
[Vic] And Dream driving Gargano
into Damien Priest.

1000
00:49:34,838 --> 00:49:36,740
[crowd cheering]

1001
00:49:36,807 --> 00:49:39,109
[Corey] I wonder if that's the first time
in Johnny's career

1002
00:49:39,176 --> 00:49:40,310
he's been used as a weapon.

1003
00:49:40,944 --> 00:49:42,913
[Vic] The Dream Valley Driver

1004
00:49:42,980 --> 00:49:45,649
might've just sent
Velveteen Dream up the ladder.

1005
00:49:45,982 --> 00:49:47,617
Dream, could he become

1006
00:49:47,684 --> 00:49:50,387
the first ever two-time
North American champion?

1007
00:49:50,454 --> 00:49:52,122
[Beth] Bronson Reed is stirring.

1008
00:49:52,189 --> 00:49:53,757
[crowd cheering]

1009
00:49:53,824 --> 00:49:56,026
[Vic] And Velveteen Dream is climbing.

1010
00:49:56,093 --> 00:49:58,161
Dream all the way to the top.

1011
00:49:58,228 --> 00:50:01,264
He's reaching up.
He was fingertips away earlier.

1012
00:50:01,331 --> 00:50:03,266
And now Dream's got the championship--

1013
00:50:04,901 --> 00:50:06,002
Whoa!

1014
00:50:06,069 --> 00:50:08,405
[crowd chatter]

1015
00:50:08,472 --> 00:50:10,240
[Corey] What the hell just happened?

1016
00:50:10,307 --> 00:50:14,611
[crowd] Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit!

1017
00:50:14,678 --> 00:50:19,049
[crowd] Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit!

1018
00:50:19,116 --> 00:50:20,617
[Vic] Where did Dream go?

1019
00:50:20,684 --> 00:50:22,285
[crowd cheering]

1020
00:50:22,352 --> 00:50:26,156
[Vic] Nonetheless, Bronson Reed,
Reed's gonna climb.

1021
00:50:26,690 --> 00:50:29,526
Climb the ladder,
Bronson, retrieve the title.

1022
00:50:29,593 --> 00:50:31,561
-[Corey] Look at this.
-[Vic] Reed almost to the top.

1023
00:50:31,628 --> 00:50:33,263
Reed to your left live action.

1024
00:50:33,330 --> 00:50:35,399
He's reaching up for the championship.

1025
00:50:35,465 --> 00:50:38,201
And Cameron Grimes
just chucked the ladder.

1026
00:50:38,368 --> 00:50:41,371
[Corey] I can't believe Cameron Grimes
has the ability to walk,

1027
00:50:41,438 --> 00:50:42,773
let alone throw ladders.

1028
00:50:42,839 --> 00:50:44,241
And now an opportunity.

1029
00:50:44,307 --> 00:50:46,977
It could be a good night in Carolina.

1030
00:50:48,211 --> 00:50:50,180
[Vic] Grimes could be going to the moon.

1031
00:50:51,014 --> 00:50:54,317
Rung by rung, Cameron Grimes climbing.

1032
00:50:54,384 --> 00:50:56,353
Grimes has his left hand on the title.

1033
00:50:56,420 --> 00:50:57,954
We're gonna have a new champion.

1034
00:50:58,288 --> 00:51:00,257
And Gargano stopping Grimes,

1035
00:51:00,891 --> 00:51:03,326
just in the Nick of time. And now--whoa!

1036
00:51:03,393 --> 00:51:05,128
[Beth] Gargano trying to
use it as a weapon.

1037
00:51:05,195 --> 00:51:08,065
[Vic] Oh, certainly did connect
that time to Cameron.

1038
00:51:08,131 --> 00:51:11,134
And Gargano's there. Johnny Gargano
is gonna retrieve the title.

1039
00:51:11,201 --> 00:51:12,702
Gargano-- Oh.

1040
00:51:12,769 --> 00:51:15,105
[crowd chatter]

1041
00:51:15,172 --> 00:51:17,441
[Vic] Grimes with Gargano
by the throat. Oh!

1042
00:51:18,275 --> 00:51:20,477
-[Corey] Priest with a grip on Johnny.
-[Beth] Oh, wait.

1043
00:51:20,544 --> 00:51:23,914
[Vic] The title is free. Both superstars
now jockeying for position.

1044
00:51:23,980 --> 00:51:25,315
Gargano's got the title.

1045
00:51:25,682 --> 00:51:28,085
Priest got the title. Gargano teetering.

1046
00:51:28,151 --> 00:51:29,686
Gargano, he's fallen.

1047
00:51:29,753 --> 00:51:31,321
-Damien Priest has done it.
-[bell rings]

1048
00:51:31,388 --> 00:51:32,923
[Vic] Damien Priest is champion.

1049
00:51:32,989 --> 00:51:34,524
[rock music starts]

1050
00:51:34,591 --> 00:51:37,461
[announcer] Here is your winner

1051
00:51:37,527 --> 00:51:44,301
and new NXT North American Champion,

1052
00:51:44,367 --> 00:51:47,404
Damien Priest!

1053
00:51:47,838 --> 00:51:50,140
[Corey] If he wants to live forever,

1054
00:51:50,207 --> 00:51:53,743
the Archer of Infamy
just took the first step.

1055
00:51:54,444 --> 00:51:58,748
The new NXT North American Champion!

1056
00:51:59,583 --> 00:52:02,319
[Beth] You have to hand it to
all of these competitors.

1057
00:52:02,385 --> 00:52:06,056
When you talk about a matchup
that will be spoken about for generations,

1058
00:52:06,123 --> 00:52:09,993
inspire other performers, this was it.

1059
00:52:10,060 --> 00:52:13,930
[rock music plays]

1060
00:52:13,997 --> 00:52:18,535
[Beth] Let's take a look at some
big moments from this amazing matchup.

1061
00:52:18,602 --> 00:52:19,903
Take a look at this.

1062
00:52:19,970 --> 00:52:24,274
Bronson Reed with Candice LeRae
perched across his back,

1063
00:52:24,341 --> 00:52:28,545
crushing the body of Johnny Gargano, Vic.

1064
00:52:30,213 --> 00:52:31,515
[Vic] It certainly did.

1065
00:52:31,581 --> 00:52:34,384
And then take a look right here,
Johnny Gargano up and over.

1066
00:52:34,451 --> 00:52:36,853
I mean, we called it
human demolition derby,

1067
00:52:36,920 --> 00:52:38,555
it certainly lived up to that feeling.

1068
00:52:38,622 --> 00:52:39,756
[Corey] No doubt about it.

1069
00:52:39,823 --> 00:52:43,426
And just when victory was
in the grasp of the Velveteen Dream,

1070
00:52:43,493 --> 00:52:48,398
he gets launched into orbit,
through some tables on the outside.

1071
00:52:48,465 --> 00:52:51,368
[Vic] And then in the end both superstars,
Damien Priest, Gargano

1072
00:52:51,434 --> 00:52:53,170
jockeying for that championship.

1073
00:52:53,236 --> 00:52:55,238
Gargano not able to hold on.

1074
00:52:55,305 --> 00:52:57,641
-[bell rings]
-[Vic] And as you mentioned, Corey,

1075
00:52:57,707 --> 00:53:00,310
Damien Priest wants to live forever.

1076
00:53:00,377 --> 00:53:03,914
It's Damien Priest
who has now immortalized himself

1077
00:53:03,980 --> 00:53:06,616
as the North American champion.

1078
00:53:06,683 --> 00:53:10,754
[rock music plays]

1079
00:53:19,529 --> 00:53:21,531
He is awake.

1080
00:53:21,598 --> 00:53:23,233
[growls]

1081
00:53:23,300 --> 00:53:27,370
And he wants something that Braun has.

1082
00:53:28,205 --> 00:53:31,107
[laughs hysterically]

1083
00:53:31,174 --> 00:53:32,976
I am more than a man.

1084
00:53:33,043 --> 00:53:36,546
I am the thing
that nightmares are made of.

1085
00:53:36,613 --> 00:53:37,581
[groans]

1086
00:53:37,647 --> 00:53:39,583
[narrator] The Monster Braun Strowman,

1087
00:53:39,649 --> 00:53:43,186
the Diabolical Fiend Bray Wyatt

1088
00:53:43,253 --> 00:53:48,425
in a Falls Count Anywhere match
for the WWE Universal Championship.

1089
00:53:48,491 --> 00:53:50,227
[tense music plays]

1090
00:53:50,293 --> 00:53:54,464
WWE Summerslam,
you'll never see it coming.

1091
00:53:57,801 --> 00:54:00,303
["Moth into Flame" plays]

1092
00:54:00,370 --> 00:54:03,139
[Corey] You're listening to
"Moth into Flame"

1093
00:54:03,206 --> 00:54:05,208
by the legendary Metallica

1094
00:54:05,275 --> 00:54:07,844
from the album
Hardwired… to Self-Destruct,

1095
00:54:07,911 --> 00:54:11,448
an NXT loud theme song
for NXT Takeover XXX,

1096
00:54:11,514 --> 00:54:15,185
available right now
on Apple Music and Spotify.

1097
00:54:15,719 --> 00:54:18,455
[Vic] And guys,
we have been waiting for this matchup.

1098
00:54:18,521 --> 00:54:20,790
It has been all over social media.

1099
00:54:20,857 --> 00:54:25,395
Two years in the making
and time for talk is now over.

1100
00:54:25,462 --> 00:54:29,532
Adam Cole, Pat Mcafee
are gonna square off one-on-one

1101
00:54:29,599 --> 00:54:31,768
here in NXT Takeover XXX.

1102
00:54:34,037 --> 00:54:38,675
We turn our attention now to the WWE
and our very own Pat Mcafee.

1103
00:54:38,742 --> 00:54:42,612
Adam Cole, BayBay!

1104
00:54:42,679 --> 00:54:43,947
You and I have had moments.

1105
00:54:44,014 --> 00:54:47,050
-You sound a little soft, Adam Cole.
-Really? Coming from a punter.

1106
00:54:47,117 --> 00:54:48,151
You kidding me?

1107
00:54:48,218 --> 00:54:50,086
Undisputed.

1108
00:54:50,153 --> 00:54:51,755
Shut up, Pat!

1109
00:54:51,821 --> 00:54:55,425
There is a lot of buzz about you
because you have all these accolades.

1110
00:54:55,492 --> 00:54:56,860
That has to feel pretty cool.

1111
00:54:56,926 --> 00:55:00,630
I look at our roster and to think that
I'm the king of that brand is pretty cool.

1112
00:55:00,697 --> 00:55:02,866
[laughs] What?

1113
00:55:02,932 --> 00:55:04,668
Oh, you have an argument to that?

1114
00:55:04,934 --> 00:55:07,971
The Undisputed Era
is the main reason why you've succeeded

1115
00:55:08,038 --> 00:55:11,875
but by the way, smart, especially for you
because you're kind of small.

1116
00:55:11,941 --> 00:55:13,977
[laughs] Oh, we're gonna go
with the size thing now?

1117
00:55:14,044 --> 00:55:15,278
[tense music plays]

1118
00:55:15,345 --> 00:55:17,947
[bleep] you, Pat.
Seriously, I'm sick of your [bleep]!

1119
00:55:18,014 --> 00:55:20,317
If you're gonna
continue to disrespect me--

1120
00:55:20,383 --> 00:55:22,185
-Oh, don't touch me!
-Whoa!

1121
00:55:22,252 --> 00:55:24,287
[bleep] you, Pat, [bleep] you!

1122
00:55:25,288 --> 00:55:27,190
What the [bleep] is wrong with that guy?

1123
00:55:29,025 --> 00:55:31,761
[Pat] We had a chance to talk about
our misunderstanding. It came to a head.

1124
00:55:31,828 --> 00:55:35,498
You know, I'm mature
unlike how Adam looked in my studio.

1125
00:55:35,565 --> 00:55:38,268
And listen, I know he can be
a little fiery, you know,

1126
00:55:38,335 --> 00:55:41,705
he has a little bit of a short temper
and all that stuff. I mean, I'm crushing.

1127
00:55:42,205 --> 00:55:45,141
At that moment in time,
my mind was made up to put an end

1128
00:55:45,208 --> 00:55:47,344
to the charade that is Pat Mcafee.

1129
00:55:47,410 --> 00:55:50,680
Huh, Pat? How about you do
something about it? Do something about it!

1130
00:55:50,747 --> 00:55:54,284
[announcer] Meanwhile Kyle O'Reilly
distracted by what's going on.

1131
00:55:54,851 --> 00:55:58,054
Imperium retains the tag team titles.

1132
00:55:58,121 --> 00:55:59,289
This is your fault!

1133
00:55:59,356 --> 00:56:02,092
I think that's never gonna change,
that for the rest of your life,

1134
00:56:02,158 --> 00:56:05,095
you're gonna be
a tiny itty bitty short little--

1135
00:56:05,161 --> 00:56:08,098
[crowd chatter]

1136
00:56:08,164 --> 00:56:09,065
[Adam] I'll kill you!

1137
00:56:09,132 --> 00:56:10,800
I'll kill you.

1138
00:56:10,867 --> 00:56:14,170
[crowd chatter]

1139
00:56:14,237 --> 00:56:15,438
[man] I thought you guys made up.

1140
00:56:15,505 --> 00:56:19,142
All it takes is one bang.
Night, night, Baybay!

1141
00:56:19,642 --> 00:56:23,279
Triple H is going to make an exclusive
announcement live on Get Up.

1142
00:56:23,747 --> 00:56:25,448
[Triple H] NXT Takeover XXX.

1143
00:56:25,882 --> 00:56:29,753
Pat Mcafee, Adam Cole,
if Pat has the guts to say yes.

1144
00:56:30,353 --> 00:56:32,555
I accept the challenge for sure.

1145
00:56:32,622 --> 00:56:34,290
And this spot right here.

1146
00:56:35,058 --> 00:56:36,092
[man] Bang!

1147
00:56:36,159 --> 00:56:38,228
I'mma walk in there, beat his ass.

1148
00:56:39,496 --> 00:56:41,264
[Adam] Hey, Pat Mcafee!

1149
00:56:41,765 --> 00:56:45,168
You wanna come to my world
and play wrestler?

1150
00:56:45,468 --> 00:56:49,205
But don't you forget, you kicked me
with my arms behind my back.

1151
00:56:49,272 --> 00:56:50,707
You are not special!

1152
00:56:51,775 --> 00:56:53,743
Guess who's back?

1153
00:56:54,611 --> 00:56:58,381
[Pat] And I'm gonna dance
on the grave of the entire [bleep] NXT.

1154
00:56:58,448 --> 00:57:04,020
At Takeover XXX, it's gonna end
with one swing of this foot.

1155
00:57:04,621 --> 00:57:05,588
Bang!

1156
00:57:06,389 --> 00:57:08,358
I'm gonna make you my bitch.

1157
00:57:08,424 --> 00:57:12,962
And that actually I think it's undisputed.

1158
00:57:13,263 --> 00:57:14,664
Take the photo, Paul.

1159
00:57:19,736 --> 00:57:21,805
[crowd cheering]

1160
00:57:21,871 --> 00:57:24,741
[music starts]

1161
00:57:43,026 --> 00:57:44,127
[bell rings]

1162
00:57:44,194 --> 00:57:46,729
[announcer] The following contest
is scheduled for one fall.

1163
00:57:46,796 --> 00:57:50,500
Introducing first,
representing the Undisputed Era,

1164
00:57:50,567 --> 00:57:52,602
Adam Cole!

1165
00:57:53,369 --> 00:57:56,272
The king of this brand!

1166
00:57:56,339 --> 00:57:58,508
Pat Mcafee does not belong.

1167
00:57:58,575 --> 00:58:00,577
He will never belong.

1168
00:58:00,643 --> 00:58:02,779
I'm gonna teach this punk a lesson.

1169
00:58:04,214 --> 00:58:07,450
[Vic] And you heard Adam Cole
talking about it being game time, Beth,

1170
00:58:07,517 --> 00:58:11,521
no one has been a better
big match player in NXT than Adam Cole.

1171
00:58:11,588 --> 00:58:13,957
[Beth] Adam Cole, of course,
is drawing comparisons

1172
00:58:14,023 --> 00:58:15,425
to young Shawn Michaels.

1173
00:58:15,491 --> 00:58:17,894
He talks the talk
but when given the opportunity,

1174
00:58:17,961 --> 00:58:20,196
Adam Cole always walks the walk.

1175
00:58:21,764 --> 00:58:25,168
[Vic] Consummate pro
in every aspect of the word.

1176
00:58:28,471 --> 00:58:32,242
This rivalry has gotten
insanely heated in a hurry.

1177
00:58:32,308 --> 00:58:35,345
I cannot wait to see what's in store.

1178
00:58:36,679 --> 00:58:40,083
[Adam] Adam Cole, BayBay!

1179
00:58:41,351 --> 00:58:44,354
[Vic] And Cole has said
he's been disrespected for two years.

1180
00:58:44,420 --> 00:58:46,422
He's heard all the short jokes.

1181
00:58:46,489 --> 00:58:50,927
He's been waiting for this moment
to shut the mouth of Pat Mcafee.

1182
00:58:52,529 --> 00:58:55,365
No more running
your mouth now, Pat. Let's go!

1183
00:58:55,431 --> 00:59:00,036
[crowd chatter]

1184
00:59:00,103 --> 00:59:02,238
Hello, stooges.

1185
00:59:02,572 --> 00:59:05,108
Pat Mcafee speaking.

1186
00:59:05,174 --> 00:59:08,578
-Let's go, boys. I'll see you out there.
-[crowd booing]

1187
00:59:08,645 --> 00:59:10,747
I've kicked off Super Bowls.

1188
00:59:10,813 --> 00:59:14,851
I've sold out buildings
across this great country.

1189
00:59:14,918 --> 00:59:18,788
But tonight, it is years in the making.

1190
00:59:18,855 --> 00:59:24,193
And wakey wakey,
this one's gonna end quick with one kick

1191
00:59:24,260 --> 00:59:28,264
from the strongest leg
in the history of humans

1192
00:59:28,331 --> 00:59:32,135
and the history of legs in general.

1193
00:59:32,635 --> 00:59:34,170
Let's do the damn thing.

1194
00:59:34,537 --> 00:59:35,605
Hit my music.

1195
00:59:36,739 --> 00:59:41,244
[music starts]

1196
00:59:49,218 --> 00:59:52,689
[Corey] Intense look
in the eyes of Adam Cole.

1197
00:59:53,456 --> 00:59:57,293
And never short on words,
the brash Pat Mcafee.

1198
00:59:57,360 --> 00:59:59,596
[announcer] From Pittsburgh,
Pennsylvania by way of Indianapolis,

1199
00:59:59,662 --> 01:00:05,101
weighing in at 240 pounds, Pat Mcafee.

1200
01:00:05,535 --> 01:00:08,671
[Corey] Beth, I know you've been
very critical of some of the things

1201
01:00:08,738 --> 01:00:11,074
that Pat Mcafee has said
over the past several weeks.

1202
01:00:11,140 --> 01:00:13,176
[Beth] First of all, let's be clear.

1203
01:00:13,242 --> 01:00:17,113
Pat Mcafee is a world-class athlete
but let's be blunt,

1204
01:00:17,180 --> 01:00:19,482
look who's here,
and look at the shirt he's wearing.

1205
01:00:19,549 --> 01:00:21,884
Pat Mcafee's also world class jerk.

1206
01:00:22,318 --> 01:00:24,654
I mean, what thinks-- What is--
What makes him think

1207
01:00:24,721 --> 01:00:28,191
just gonna walk in here,
waltz in here with Adam Cole,

1208
01:00:28,257 --> 01:00:31,661
an athlete of the caliber
of Adam Cole and be able to compete?

1209
01:00:34,297 --> 01:00:37,300
[Corey] Because everything Pat Mcafee
has set his mind to in his life,

1210
01:00:37,367 --> 01:00:38,634
he's excelled at.

1211
01:00:39,736 --> 01:00:42,972
[Vic] Pat Mcafee
has called himself next level.

1212
01:00:43,239 --> 01:00:47,977
And Beth, predicted tonight,
it ends with one swing of his own foot.

1213
01:00:52,248 --> 01:00:54,817
Notice Mcafee
didn't come alone though, Graves.

1214
01:00:54,884 --> 01:00:58,021
[Corey] Darius Butler,
AJ Hawk, Nick Maraldo,

1215
01:00:58,087 --> 01:01:00,556
world-class table tennis enthusiast.

1216
01:01:00,623 --> 01:01:06,596
[crowd chatter]

1217
01:01:06,663 --> 01:01:09,532
Hey, this is your nightmare.

1218
01:01:09,599 --> 01:01:14,904
[crowd chatter]

1219
01:01:14,971 --> 01:01:16,439
[bell rings]

1220
01:01:17,373 --> 01:01:18,875
[Vic] Oh, here we go.

1221
01:01:18,941 --> 01:01:20,343
Time for talk is over.

1222
01:01:20,410 --> 01:01:22,812
But the trash talking is continuing.

1223
01:01:22,879 --> 01:01:24,714
[Corey] When you're talking
about Pat Mcafee

1224
01:01:24,781 --> 01:01:26,649
the time for talk is never over, Vic.

1225
01:01:26,716 --> 01:01:30,987
[crowd chatter]

1226
01:01:31,054 --> 01:01:32,889
[Beth] Apparently, it's time to flex, too.

1227
01:01:32,955 --> 01:01:37,427
-[they groan]
-[crowd cheering]

1228
01:01:37,493 --> 01:01:39,629
[Corey] It's been no secret,
Pat Mcafee has been training

1229
01:01:39,696 --> 01:01:42,165
incredibly hard for the past several weeks
for this matchup.

1230
01:01:42,231 --> 01:01:44,600
That said, you cannot substitute

1231
01:01:44,667 --> 01:01:47,236
for the experience possessed by Adam Cole.

1232
01:01:47,303 --> 01:01:49,672
[Beth] Several weeks. Let's be clear.
Adam Cole has been wrestling

1233
01:01:49,739 --> 01:01:51,674
since he was 18 years old.

1234
01:01:52,075 --> 01:01:54,711
Decade-- Over a decade of experience.

1235
01:01:54,777 --> 01:01:56,012
[they groan]

1236
01:01:56,079 --> 01:02:00,950
[Corey] I agree, Beth, but you've to look
at Pat Mcafee's history, his accolades.

1237
01:02:01,584 --> 01:02:04,187
He's been in the Pro Bowl.
He's been an All-Pro.

1238
01:02:04,253 --> 01:02:08,324
Everything Pat Mcafee has set his mind to,
he has done on another level.

1239
01:02:08,858 --> 01:02:12,328
This could be the next
in a series of great accomplishments.

1240
01:02:12,395 --> 01:02:15,064
[Vic] That is true
but Pat Mcafee has got to know that

1241
01:02:15,131 --> 01:02:18,134
this isn't the Super Bowl.
This is NXT Takeover.

1242
01:02:18,201 --> 01:02:22,138
Oh, that's easy!

1243
01:02:23,639 --> 01:02:24,507
[Beth] Oh.

1244
01:02:25,641 --> 01:02:27,743
[Vic] Mcafee this time--
Oh, wait a minute.

1245
01:02:27,810 --> 01:02:29,612
[Corey] Oh.

1246
01:02:30,346 --> 01:02:33,816
[Vic] It was almost one swing
of Cole's foot that ended this match.

1247
01:02:34,417 --> 01:02:36,719
[Corey] It was a reality check
for Pat Mcafee.

1248
01:02:36,786 --> 01:02:38,988
[Beth] There is no timeouts in NXT, Pat.

1249
01:02:39,055 --> 01:02:40,690
No water breaks. Come on.

1250
01:02:42,759 --> 01:02:44,193
Get up, Pat.

1251
01:02:44,260 --> 01:02:45,394
Get up, Pat!

1252
01:02:45,461 --> 01:02:48,231
[crowd chatter]

1253
01:02:48,297 --> 01:02:49,799
[they groan]

1254
01:02:49,866 --> 01:02:53,202
[Vic] And Mcafee right back in
and now Mcafee turning things around

1255
01:02:53,269 --> 01:02:54,203
on Adam Cole.

1256
01:02:56,772 --> 01:03:00,042
You mentioned the training
that Pat Mcafee has gone through.

1257
01:03:00,109 --> 01:03:03,312
He's been very vocal
on posting it on social media, Graves,

1258
01:03:03,379 --> 01:03:04,313
all over the place.

1259
01:03:04,380 --> 01:03:08,417
[Corey] Pat Mcafee doesn't do anything
at less than a hundred and ten percent.

1260
01:03:08,484 --> 01:03:11,654
That includes
his first ever match in an NXT ring.

1261
01:03:11,721 --> 01:03:14,157
Boom. Big tackle by Mcafee.

1262
01:03:14,223 --> 01:03:18,728
[crowd cheering]

1263
01:03:18,794 --> 01:03:22,565
[Vic] And the trash talk continuing
and now Pat Mcafee has the--

1264
01:03:22,632 --> 01:03:25,301
And again, Mcafee getting out of dodge.

1265
01:03:27,570 --> 01:03:30,173
Well, Mcafee certainly
did his homework on Adam Cole.

1266
01:03:30,239 --> 01:03:35,545
[Corey] No doubt about it. Mcafee is
a very highly intelligent human being.

1267
01:03:35,611 --> 01:03:37,246
It's gonna translate into the ring.

1268
01:03:37,313 --> 01:03:39,382
[Beth] He's also quick to huddle
with his posse.

1269
01:03:39,448 --> 01:03:42,652
[referee] One, two!

1270
01:03:42,718 --> 01:03:44,353
[Adam] Get in the ring, Pat.

1271
01:03:44,420 --> 01:03:46,422
[Pat] I got it. No more games.

1272
01:03:46,722 --> 01:03:50,726
I think you're starting to realize
that I'm a better human than you.

1273
01:03:51,093 --> 01:03:55,798
And that, my friends, is undisputed.

1274
01:03:58,201 --> 01:04:00,002
[Corey] Mocking the Undisputed Era.

1275
01:04:00,369 --> 01:04:02,338
[Beth] The disrespect continues.

1276
01:04:04,507 --> 01:04:07,777
[Vic] Well, Cole looking-- Wait a minute.
There's the Undisputed Era now.

1277
01:04:07,844 --> 01:04:09,846
[Corey] This thing
could pop off in a hurry.

1278
01:04:09,912 --> 01:04:13,216
[crowd chatter]

1279
01:04:13,282 --> 01:04:17,053
[Corey] Sure William Regal
had extra security standing by

1280
01:04:17,119 --> 01:04:19,288
knowing this is a volatile situation.

1281
01:04:19,355 --> 01:04:20,890
[Beth] This is getting heated.

1282
01:04:23,025 --> 01:04:25,461
[Corey] Getting, Beth?
This thing is about to blow up.

1283
01:04:26,863 --> 01:04:28,097
Oh my god!

1284
01:04:28,164 --> 01:04:30,800
[Vic] Pat Mcafee just wiped out everyone.

1285
01:04:30,866 --> 01:04:32,535
Woo!

1286
01:04:33,936 --> 01:04:35,104
Woo!

1287
01:04:35,171 --> 01:04:39,542
[Corey] How is this
for not belonging in the NXT world?

1288
01:04:39,909 --> 01:04:41,143
Ladies and gentlemen,

1289
01:04:41,210 --> 01:04:46,249
Mcafee sacrificing his own body
with a beautiful Swanton,

1290
01:04:46,315 --> 01:04:48,884
taking down everybody.

1291
01:04:48,951 --> 01:04:51,454
[Beth] I am stunned on what we just saw.

1292
01:04:52,488 --> 01:04:54,657
[Corey] Are you starting to believe yet?

1293
01:04:55,024 --> 01:04:56,893
[Beth] I'm still not convinced, Graves,

1294
01:04:56,959 --> 01:04:58,928
but that was impressive. Let's be real.

1295
01:05:00,396 --> 01:05:03,799
[Corey] Listen, years ago in NXT,
a man walked through the doors

1296
01:05:03,866 --> 01:05:08,437
from the NFL and nobody respected him
and said you only got here

1297
01:05:08,504 --> 01:05:10,473
because of what you did
on the football field.

1298
01:05:10,973 --> 01:05:14,310
Through hard work and attitude,
that guy now runs

1299
01:05:14,377 --> 01:05:15,845
Friday Night Smackdown.

1300
01:05:15,912 --> 01:05:19,148
King Corbin, who by the way,
happened to be roommates

1301
01:05:19,215 --> 01:05:21,450
with Pat Mcafee. Start believing.

1302
01:05:21,517 --> 01:05:25,087
[Vic] Well, Pat Mcafee now
stomping away on Adam Cole.

1303
01:05:25,154 --> 01:05:26,055
Mcafee!

1304
01:05:26,122 --> 01:05:27,890
[Beth] Let's not get ahead
of ourselves, Graves.

1305
01:05:27,957 --> 01:05:30,293
This is night one for Pat Mcafee.

1306
01:05:32,061 --> 01:05:35,564
[Corey] Pat Mcafee is better on his night
one than just about anybody I've ever seen

1307
01:05:35,631 --> 01:05:36,565
on their night one.

1308
01:05:36,632 --> 01:05:39,769
[Vic] And look at Mcafee now
and look at the chest of Adam Cole

1309
01:05:39,835 --> 01:05:41,037
starting to turn red.

1310
01:05:41,103 --> 01:05:44,407
[Corey] And don't lose sight
of the fact this is Adam freakin' Cole

1311
01:05:44,473 --> 01:05:45,541
we're talking about.

1312
01:05:45,608 --> 01:05:47,877
This isn't some low level beginner.

1313
01:05:48,511 --> 01:05:51,647
This is one of the longest reigning
champions in the company's history.

1314
01:05:51,714 --> 01:05:54,550
[Vic] The longest reigning NXT champion
in the company's history.

1315
01:05:56,052 --> 01:05:58,754
And Mcafee winding up and dropping Cole.

1316
01:05:58,821 --> 01:06:01,157
[Beth] Let's hope that Mcafee
doesn't get overconfident.

1317
01:06:01,223 --> 01:06:04,660
[crowd chatter]

1318
01:06:04,727 --> 01:06:07,063
This is easy!

1319
01:06:07,129 --> 01:06:10,599
[crowd booing]

1320
01:06:10,666 --> 01:06:15,604
[Corey] So far, Beth, Pat Mcafee's
confidence has been his best weapon.

1321
01:06:15,671 --> 01:06:17,740
Wohoo! That was a warning shot.

1322
01:06:17,807 --> 01:06:22,511
[Vic] But Graves, Pat Mcafee
can't get overconfident in this matchup.

1323
01:06:22,578 --> 01:06:24,547
[Corey] You're right.
With a veteran like Adam Cole,

1324
01:06:24,613 --> 01:06:26,682
any mistake will be capitalized upon.

1325
01:06:26,749 --> 01:06:28,617
[Pat] Two weeks, I asked for this.

1326
01:06:29,485 --> 01:06:33,689
[Corey] But right now,
Mcafee talking smack and backing it up.

1327
01:06:34,757 --> 01:06:38,828
[Vic] Reminding Cole
that it only took him two weeks

1328
01:06:38,894 --> 01:06:41,697
and now Mcafee showcasing strength.

1329
01:06:41,764 --> 01:06:43,499
-[Beth] Wow.
-[Pat] You like that?

1330
01:06:44,533 --> 01:06:46,969
[Vic] And planting Adam Cole
center of the ring.

1331
01:06:47,036 --> 01:06:48,237
Mcafee into the cover.

1332
01:06:48,304 --> 01:06:51,874
Hook of the leg
and quickly Adam Cole kicking out.

1333
01:06:51,941 --> 01:06:56,278
And right on top
of Adam Cole goes Pat Mcafee.

1334
01:06:56,345 --> 01:06:57,513
[Corey] This is brilliant.

1335
01:06:57,580 --> 01:07:00,416
Mcafee is excelling
beyond his years, beyond--

1336
01:07:00,483 --> 01:07:02,852
He's got no experience
in this ring basically

1337
01:07:02,918 --> 01:07:05,121
and he is doing phenomenally right now.

1338
01:07:05,187 --> 01:07:07,423
[Beth] I hate to agree with you
in this situation

1339
01:07:07,490 --> 01:07:10,059
but Mcafee has been nothing
short of being impressive.

1340
01:07:10,126 --> 01:07:10,993
[Vic] Oh.

1341
01:07:11,060 --> 01:07:12,628
[they groan]

1342
01:07:12,695 --> 01:07:15,364
[Corey] Adam Cole trying to fight
his way back into this one.

1343
01:07:15,431 --> 01:07:16,265
-Come on!
-What?

1344
01:07:16,332 --> 01:07:18,200
-That's the third time you did that!
-No.

1345
01:07:18,267 --> 01:07:20,770
Right in front of my eyes.
You better knock it off, all right?

1346
01:07:20,836 --> 01:07:23,105
-That is not a rule.
-It is a rule. Hey, I'm the referee.

1347
01:07:23,172 --> 01:07:24,040
You better respect.

1348
01:07:24,106 --> 01:07:27,443
[Vic] Well, this isn't the NFL.
You can't talk trash to the NXT officials,

1349
01:07:27,510 --> 01:07:30,046
and Mcafee though,
right back on top of Adam Cole.

1350
01:07:30,112 --> 01:07:32,448
[Beth] Mcafee certainly did his
homework on bending the rules.

1351
01:07:32,515 --> 01:07:34,550
He's-- I've seen
a couple of handfuls of hair.

1352
01:07:36,385 --> 01:07:38,387
[Corey] Listen, Beth,
Pat has got a lot of friends,

1353
01:07:38,454 --> 01:07:40,589
could teach him
a few tips and tricks here and there.

1354
01:07:42,391 --> 01:07:44,326
[Beth] Let's not count out Adam Cole.

1355
01:07:45,928 --> 01:07:50,066
[Vic] Well, Cole, almost on cue, Beth,
starting to fire back to the midsection.

1356
01:07:50,132 --> 01:07:53,536
Swinging wildly
and what a dropkick by Mcafee.

1357
01:07:56,839 --> 01:07:58,441
I mean, Beth, are you stunned?

1358
01:07:58,507 --> 01:08:00,776
[Beth] I mean, I'm stunned.
I mean, I'm not surprised.

1359
01:08:00,843 --> 01:08:03,712
Pat Mcafee is
in the best shape of his life.

1360
01:08:03,779 --> 01:08:06,782
[Corey] Well, are you stunned or are you
not surprised? Make up your mind.

1361
01:08:06,849 --> 01:08:09,919
[Beth] Listen, I'm not taking anything
away from the athlete that Mcafee is,

1362
01:08:09,985 --> 01:08:12,955
but you cannot
substitute it for experience.

1363
01:08:13,989 --> 01:08:15,925
[Corey] Cole is
in the danger zone right now.

1364
01:08:15,991 --> 01:08:20,729
All it takes is one swing of
Pat Mcafee's foot and it's lights out.

1365
01:08:21,397 --> 01:08:22,998
I was born for this.

1366
01:08:24,567 --> 01:08:27,169
[Vic] And Mcafee stalking Adam Cole.

1367
01:08:27,236 --> 01:08:29,505
Oh! And Cole answering back.

1368
01:08:30,306 --> 01:08:31,407
[Beth] Whoa.

1369
01:08:33,108 --> 01:08:36,378
[Corey] Maybe Pat getting a little too big
for his britches in this instance.

1370
01:08:36,445 --> 01:08:38,547
[Vic] And this is what Adam Cole
has been waiting for,

1371
01:08:38,614 --> 01:08:41,584
to go toe to toe with Pat Mcafee.
They're slugging it out.

1372
01:08:41,650 --> 01:08:43,452
-[Corey] It's a hockey fight.
-[Vic] Oh.

1373
01:08:44,587 --> 01:08:47,990
[Beth] And this is what I was
talking about, Adam Cole at his best.

1374
01:08:48,958 --> 01:08:50,993
[Corey] Now it's really a hockey fight.

1375
01:08:51,460 --> 01:08:53,596
[Vic] That slap
might've woken up Adam Cole.

1376
01:08:54,063 --> 01:08:58,400
And Cole now just planting
with that pump kick. Pat Mcafee.

1377
01:08:58,467 --> 01:09:01,036
[Beth] Cole thinking about
all the disparaging comments

1378
01:09:01,103 --> 01:09:04,373
Mcafee has made
over the last several weeks.

1379
01:09:04,440 --> 01:09:07,443
[they groan]

1380
01:09:07,510 --> 01:09:10,946
[Vic] And now it's Adam Cole
just stomping away on Pat Mcafee.

1381
01:09:11,013 --> 01:09:14,583
[Beth] And the pendulum
has swung in favor of Adam Cole.

1382
01:09:15,217 --> 01:09:16,318
[Vic] It certainly has.

1383
01:09:16,385 --> 01:09:19,688
And all that pent up frustration
over the last two years

1384
01:09:19,755 --> 01:09:23,125
that's been inside Adam Cole
starting to come out now

1385
01:09:23,192 --> 01:09:25,528
here against Mcafee at NXT Takeover XXX.

1386
01:09:25,594 --> 01:09:28,397
Mcafee feeling that
he may be in over his head.

1387
01:09:29,698 --> 01:09:30,799
Uh-oh.

1388
01:09:31,433 --> 01:09:35,504
[Vic] Up goes Mcafee and Cole
planting Mcafee center of the ring.

1389
01:09:35,571 --> 01:09:36,805
This has got to be it.

1390
01:09:36,872 --> 01:09:40,943
Cole into the cover.
And Mcafee kicking out.

1391
01:09:41,577 --> 01:09:44,680
[Beth] That was unbelievable.
Let's take one more look at

1392
01:09:44,747 --> 01:09:48,651
this impact
high on the neck of Pat Mcafee.

1393
01:09:48,717 --> 01:09:52,488
And I just-- I can't believe
Mcafee was able to kick out.

1394
01:09:53,289 --> 01:09:56,392
[Vic] Well, Beth, how about
the facial expression of Adam Cole

1395
01:09:56,458 --> 01:10:00,429
after the kick-out? Almost had
a smirk come across his face.

1396
01:10:02,665 --> 01:10:04,800
[Beth] And now
Cole adding a little bit of--

1397
01:10:04,867 --> 01:10:05,801
Uh-oh!

1398
01:10:06,402 --> 01:10:08,370
[Corey] Able to evade.
Rolls him up, cover.

1399
01:10:09,138 --> 01:10:11,440
Mcafee nearly stole the win right there.

1400
01:10:11,507 --> 01:10:14,710
-[Beth] Whoa.
-[Corey] Oh.

1401
01:10:14,777 --> 01:10:16,779
-That's got to do it.
-[Vic] Into the cover goes Cole.

1402
01:10:16,845 --> 01:10:22,384
Hook of the leg, that's got to be it.
And again, Pat Mcafee kicks out.

1403
01:10:22,451 --> 01:10:23,652
[Beth] Adam Cole is stunned.

1404
01:10:24,954 --> 01:10:25,955
To be honest, so--

1405
01:10:26,021 --> 01:10:28,357
[Corey] I think it's safe to admit
that at this point,

1406
01:10:28,424 --> 01:10:32,561
Adam Cole underestimated Pat Mcafee,
just like everybody did.

1407
01:10:32,628 --> 01:10:33,729
[Pat] Oh my god.

1408
01:10:34,296 --> 01:10:36,899
[Corey] I don't know that Mcafee knows
what state he's in right now

1409
01:10:36,966 --> 01:10:38,267
but he's still in the match.

1410
01:10:39,268 --> 01:10:43,405
[Beth] You cannot take away
from everything that Mcafee

1411
01:10:43,472 --> 01:10:45,107
has brought to the table tonight.

1412
01:10:47,476 --> 01:10:49,745
[Corey] Mcafee said
he was gonna shut up the haters,

1413
01:10:49,812 --> 01:10:53,315
silence the doubters
and so far has made great progress

1414
01:10:53,382 --> 01:10:57,119
but Adam Cole
continues to pour on the pressure.

1415
01:10:57,186 --> 01:11:00,089
[Vic] Oh! And almost out of desperation,

1416
01:11:00,155 --> 01:11:05,961
Pat Mcafee lunging to knock
Adam Cole off the top rope.

1417
01:11:06,028 --> 01:11:07,396
[crowd chatter]

1418
01:11:07,463 --> 01:11:10,666
[Corey] It was a smart move.
It was desperate? Absolutely.

1419
01:11:10,733 --> 01:11:14,003
Did it achieve the desired result?
You're damn right.

1420
01:11:14,069 --> 01:11:16,205
[Adam groans]

1421
01:11:16,272 --> 01:11:17,640
[Beth] Cole is hurting.

1422
01:11:17,706 --> 01:11:19,875
[Corey] Now-- Okay. Now, wait a minute.

1423
01:11:20,643 --> 01:11:23,012
Now this is an ill-advised decision, Pat.

1424
01:11:23,979 --> 01:11:27,516
Mcafee is getting maybe a little--
Oh, I don't see this ending well.

1425
01:11:27,583 --> 01:11:29,718
[Vic] And Adam Cole
turning things around now.

1426
01:11:29,785 --> 01:11:32,021
Mcafee starting to fight back as well.

1427
01:11:32,087 --> 01:11:34,523
Both superstars teetering on the top rope.

1428
01:11:35,090 --> 01:11:36,291
[Corey] What?

1429
01:11:39,028 --> 01:11:42,498
[Vic] What did-- Mcafee just landed
on his feet. Cole in disbelief.

1430
01:11:42,564 --> 01:11:44,667
-[Beth] Oh my god.
-[Vic] Mcafee right back into it.

1431
01:11:44,733 --> 01:11:46,068
Mcafee hooked Cole.

1432
01:11:46,135 --> 01:11:49,171
From the top rope, Mcafee, Superplex!

1433
01:11:49,238 --> 01:11:51,073
[Corey] Gods be good.

1434
01:11:51,140 --> 01:11:54,677
[Vic] This is gonna be
the biggest upset in NXT history.

1435
01:11:54,977 --> 01:11:57,646
Cole kicked out. Oh, that was close.

1436
01:11:58,247 --> 01:11:59,815
Oh my god!

1437
01:12:00,849 --> 01:12:03,318
[Corey] We're about to see it again
and I still don't know that

1438
01:12:03,385 --> 01:12:04,486
I'm gonna believe it.

1439
01:12:04,953 --> 01:12:08,357
But watch this athleticism
from Pat Mcafee.

1440
01:12:09,725 --> 01:12:12,027
Landing flush on his feet

1441
01:12:12,461 --> 01:12:16,665
and then in one leap,
all the way to the top rope

1442
01:12:16,865 --> 01:12:22,237
before delivering
a picture perfect Superplex to Adam Cole.

1443
01:12:22,304 --> 01:12:24,940
[Beth] How in the world
did that just happen?

1444
01:12:25,007 --> 01:12:28,377
[crowd] This is awesome! This is awesome!

1445
01:12:28,444 --> 01:12:31,013
[Corey] It's one thing
to not look like a fool

1446
01:12:31,080 --> 01:12:33,148
on your first night if you're Pat Mcafee,

1447
01:12:33,215 --> 01:12:36,885
it's another
to do stuff that is next level,

1448
01:12:36,952 --> 01:12:38,787
but that's what Mcafee promised.

1449
01:12:38,854 --> 01:12:40,823
[Vic] Oh, wait a minute,
look at Pat Mcafee.

1450
01:12:41,824 --> 01:12:45,527
Mcafee eyeing up Adam Cole
much like we saw on NXT.

1451
01:12:45,594 --> 01:12:47,129
Oh, Cole just got out of the way

1452
01:12:47,196 --> 01:12:50,599
but Mcafee's right foot
into the steel steps.

1453
01:12:50,933 --> 01:12:54,136
[Corey] As hard as Pat kicks,
he might've just shattered his own foot.

1454
01:12:54,203 --> 01:12:56,038
[Beth] The steel steps completely shifted.

1455
01:12:56,105 --> 01:12:58,574
[Pat groans] Oh my god!

1456
01:12:58,640 --> 01:13:01,110
[Corey] And you could see
the look in Adam Cole's eyes.

1457
01:13:01,176 --> 01:13:03,178
Like a shark with blood in the water.

1458
01:13:03,245 --> 01:13:06,115
[Vic] And you can hear the pain
coming through from Pat Mcafee.

1459
01:13:06,181 --> 01:13:09,284
[Beth] Not a ton of protection
from that footwear Mcafee's wearing.

1460
01:13:09,351 --> 01:13:11,453
[Pat groans]

1461
01:13:11,987 --> 01:13:13,689
[Vic] And Cole now, wait a minute.

1462
01:13:13,756 --> 01:13:15,157
-You want me to stop this?
-No, no.

1463
01:13:15,224 --> 01:13:16,425
-All right.
-It's over, Pat.

1464
01:13:17,526 --> 01:13:19,561
-[Beth] Oh.
-[Vic] Goes down low

1465
01:13:19,628 --> 01:13:22,931
back to the injured leg
and now looking for the Figure-Four.

1466
01:13:22,998 --> 01:13:24,500
Cole looking for the Figure-Four.

1467
01:13:24,566 --> 01:13:25,868
[Corey] This is brilliant.

1468
01:13:26,535 --> 01:13:28,704
[Vic] Mcafee trying to
block the Figure-Four

1469
01:13:28,771 --> 01:13:32,975
but now Cole has it cinched in
and is Pat Mcafee going to tap out?

1470
01:13:33,409 --> 01:13:34,376
[Adam] Give up!

1471
01:13:34,443 --> 01:13:38,380
[Corey] Adam Cole capitalizing on
Mcafee's self-inflicted injury.

1472
01:13:38,914 --> 01:13:41,984
Shoulders were down for a moment.
Mcafee's got to be fading.

1473
01:13:43,018 --> 01:13:44,453
[Adam] It is not in you.

1474
01:13:45,087 --> 01:13:48,490
[Vic] And Cole talking trash now
right back to Pat Mcafee.

1475
01:13:48,557 --> 01:13:50,959
Mcafee got his shoulders up at one.

1476
01:13:51,326 --> 01:13:55,597
The pain. And now Mcafee
trying to roll over Adam Cole.

1477
01:13:55,664 --> 01:13:57,633
[Corey] Pressure was reversed
for the moment

1478
01:13:57,699 --> 01:13:59,868
but Cole continued the momentum.

1479
01:13:59,935 --> 01:14:02,538
[Vic] And that's what
12 years in the-- Oh.

1480
01:14:02,905 --> 01:14:04,940
And Pat Mcafee to the bottom rope.

1481
01:14:05,007 --> 01:14:06,842
[Beth] Mcafee definitely
studying that rulebook.

1482
01:14:06,909 --> 01:14:09,311
[Pat groans]

1483
01:14:09,378 --> 01:14:13,015
[Vic] And I can't believe Pat Mcafee,
foot into the steel steps,

1484
01:14:13,081 --> 01:14:18,253
was able to hold his own
I guess and find a way to get free, Beth,

1485
01:14:18,320 --> 01:14:20,956
from the Figure-Four
as you mentioned to the bottom rope.

1486
01:14:21,023 --> 01:14:23,926
[Beth] But Vic, he was
in that Figure-Four an awful long time,

1487
01:14:24,493 --> 01:14:27,596
doing more damage
to that foot and shin bone.

1488
01:14:28,430 --> 01:14:31,633
[Vic] Now, Mcafee finding out
a lot about himself right now.

1489
01:14:31,700 --> 01:14:36,972
Is that all you had, you little punk?

1490
01:14:37,039 --> 01:14:38,507
[they groan]

1491
01:14:38,574 --> 01:14:43,412
[Vic] Mcafee being defiant and Adam Cole
now putting the boots to Mcafee.

1492
01:14:43,912 --> 01:14:46,982
Cole's got to be careful
not to get himself disqualified right--

1493
01:14:47,049 --> 01:14:50,118
-Oh, wait a minute.
-[Corey] A low kick.

1494
01:14:50,185 --> 01:14:53,455
[crowd booing]

1495
01:14:53,522 --> 01:14:57,159
[Vic] The referee did not see
the low kick by Mcafee.

1496
01:14:57,226 --> 01:14:59,995
And now Mcafee
laying out Cole center of the ring.

1497
01:15:01,663 --> 01:15:05,400
[Corey] This is gonna be
the biggest upset in NXT history.

1498
01:15:05,467 --> 01:15:06,702
Here it comes.

1499
01:15:07,936 --> 01:15:09,104
[Beth] No, no, no.

1500
01:15:10,639 --> 01:15:12,841
[Corey] Mcafee. Touchback.

1501
01:15:13,475 --> 01:15:18,247
[Vic] With one swing of his foot,
might've just put out Adam Cole.

1502
01:15:18,547 --> 01:15:20,315
You got to be-- No, no, no.

1503
01:15:20,916 --> 01:15:22,251
Cole kicked out.

1504
01:15:22,317 --> 01:15:25,621
[cheers and applause]

1505
01:15:25,687 --> 01:15:28,790
[Corey] Mcafee in shock
and understandably so.

1506
01:15:30,192 --> 01:15:31,860
Clearly in agony.

1507
01:15:33,128 --> 01:15:36,431
Pat connecting
with what he was looking for.

1508
01:15:36,498 --> 01:15:40,602
Oh! The Punt Kick
right in the chest of Adam Cole.

1509
01:15:41,303 --> 01:15:43,872
[Vic] Got to wonder
how much damage was done to the foot

1510
01:15:43,939 --> 01:15:46,341
when he kicked the steel steps,
that being Pat Mcafee,

1511
01:15:46,408 --> 01:15:49,144
before delivering
that huge Punt just moments ago.

1512
01:15:49,211 --> 01:15:51,813
[Beth] Let's not forget how he got
in that situation, the low blow

1513
01:15:51,880 --> 01:15:53,949
to Adam Cole behind the referee's back.

1514
01:15:55,484 --> 01:15:58,887
[Vic] Corey, I asked this about
Pat Mcafee only two weeks to train.

1515
01:15:58,954 --> 01:16:00,756
What could he have left in his arsenal?

1516
01:16:00,822 --> 01:16:04,359
[Corey] I have no idea.
Mcafee's blown my mind the entire night.

1517
01:16:04,426 --> 01:16:06,495
[Beth] We might be
about to find out, guys.

1518
01:16:06,562 --> 01:16:09,197
[crowd chatter]

1519
01:16:09,264 --> 01:16:12,501
Mcafee, BayBay.

1520
01:16:12,568 --> 01:16:15,871
[crowd booing]

1521
01:16:15,938 --> 01:16:18,907
[Vic] Mcafee with his sights set
on Adam Cole.

1522
01:16:19,374 --> 01:16:21,910
And Cole with a Superkick.

1523
01:16:21,977 --> 01:16:23,712
[crowd cheering]

1524
01:16:23,779 --> 01:16:27,349
[Corey] Pat was looking
for the Hail Mary and it did not pay off.

1525
01:16:27,416 --> 01:16:30,752
[Beth] Now, look at the focus
on the face of Adam Cole.

1526
01:16:30,819 --> 01:16:36,291
[crowd cheering]

1527
01:16:36,358 --> 01:16:37,392
Get up, Pat.

1528
01:16:37,926 --> 01:16:38,827
Get up!

1529
01:16:39,294 --> 01:16:41,830
I want you to watch me beat you. Get up!

1530
01:16:45,200 --> 01:16:48,837
I told you that I was gonna
shut your big stupid mouth.

1531
01:16:50,305 --> 01:16:55,010
[crowd cheering]

1532
01:16:55,077 --> 01:17:00,248
[crowd chatter]

1533
01:17:00,315 --> 01:17:02,651
[Vic] What's-- Corey,
what's on the mind of Adam Cole?

1534
01:17:02,718 --> 01:17:04,052
[crowd cheering]

1535
01:17:04,119 --> 01:17:05,454
[Vic] Cole now--

1536
01:17:05,754 --> 01:17:09,358
[Corey] Adam Cole promised to
shut Mcafee's mouth once and for all.

1537
01:17:10,692 --> 01:17:14,363
[Vic] Cole certainly did
and now Cole looking to

1538
01:17:14,429 --> 01:17:17,733
put the exclamation point on this matchup.

1539
01:17:18,667 --> 01:17:21,803
Looking for the Panama City Sunrise!

1540
01:17:23,305 --> 01:17:24,606
Cole got all of it.

1541
01:17:24,673 --> 01:17:26,875
-Into the cover.
-[crowd] One, two, three!

1542
01:17:26,942 --> 01:17:29,878
-[Vic] Adam Cole picks up the win.
-[rock music starts]

1543
01:17:29,945 --> 01:17:34,983
[announcer]
Here is your winner, Adam Cole.

1544
01:17:36,051 --> 01:17:39,688
[Corey] What a match.

1545
01:17:42,424 --> 01:17:44,159
For all intents and purposes,

1546
01:17:44,226 --> 01:17:48,563
Pat Mcafee had no business
doing what he did tonight

1547
01:17:49,197 --> 01:17:53,168
but from the look in Adam Cole's eyes,
even Cole's beginning to believe.

1548
01:17:54,770 --> 01:17:57,472
[Beth] Guys, let's take a look at
some of the highlights

1549
01:17:57,539 --> 01:18:00,208
from this unbelievable display.

1550
01:18:00,275 --> 01:18:02,210
I mean, check out this moment right here.

1551
01:18:02,277 --> 01:18:05,681
Pat Mcafee blowing our minds with that--

1552
01:18:05,747 --> 01:18:10,652
[Corey] Throwing caution to the wind,
taking out everyone in the way.

1553
01:18:11,153 --> 01:18:13,288
And Pat wasn't done thrilling us yet.

1554
01:18:13,789 --> 01:18:16,558
[Vic] He certainly was not
and it's out of nowhere,

1555
01:18:16,625 --> 01:18:21,463
this dropkick from Pat Mcafee
which really was showcasing his offense,

1556
01:18:21,530 --> 01:18:23,699
-until, Corey--
-[Corey] Things went south.

1557
01:18:23,765 --> 01:18:28,904
Mcafee looking for the big payoff kick,
connects with the steel ring stairs,

1558
01:18:28,970 --> 01:18:33,308
instead much to his own detriment
and this is where Adam Cole excelled.

1559
01:18:33,375 --> 01:18:37,379
[Beth] Cole laying on the pain,
on that damaged foot,

1560
01:18:37,446 --> 01:18:39,648
but Pat Mcafee would not quit.

1561
01:18:40,715 --> 01:18:42,517
[Vic] Mcafee then
would look for that Punt,

1562
01:18:42,584 --> 01:18:46,121
connected right into
the chest of Adam Cole.

1563
01:18:46,188 --> 01:18:50,559
And well, I think the NXT UK universe
thought it was the biggest upset

1564
01:18:50,625 --> 01:18:54,096
in NXT history but Cole would kick out
and continue to fight.

1565
01:18:54,162 --> 01:18:57,499
[Corey] The whole NXT universe
and beyond saw the same thing, Vic,

1566
01:18:57,566 --> 01:19:01,737
and there it is, that was
what Adam Cole was looking for,

1567
01:19:01,803 --> 01:19:06,641
the Panama City Sunrise,
spiking Pat Mcafee.

1568
01:19:06,708 --> 01:19:10,445
But let's be honest, everybody,
it was a hell of a night

1569
01:19:10,512 --> 01:19:15,617
for the brand
but Adam Cole remains undisputed.

1570
01:19:15,684 --> 01:19:19,387
[Vic] He certainly does and Adam Cole,
Corey, picks up the victory tonight

1571
01:19:19,454 --> 01:19:22,324
for the brand. That being NXT.

1572
01:19:22,390 --> 01:19:26,027
What a matchup here at NXT Takeover XXX.

1573
01:19:26,094 --> 01:19:32,400
[rock music plays]

1574
01:19:43,378 --> 01:19:44,446
Talofa.

1575
01:19:44,513 --> 01:19:45,580
I'm Samoa Joe.

1576
01:19:45,647 --> 01:19:48,817
And when I'm not punishing my opponents
unmercifully in the middle of the ring,

1577
01:19:48,884 --> 01:19:50,719
I like to play a little WWE Supercard.

1578
01:19:51,319 --> 01:19:53,155
As a matter of fact, today, I'm relaxing

1579
01:19:53,221 --> 01:19:56,191
and I'm celebrating the launch
of the new Summerslam '20 cards.

1580
01:19:57,425 --> 01:19:59,828
And as for our good friend
Shinsuke Nakamura,

1581
01:19:59,895 --> 01:20:02,464
well, I'm about to
make him go night night.

1582
01:20:03,698 --> 01:20:04,699
I lost?

1583
01:20:04,766 --> 01:20:07,068
How is this possible? I don't lose.

1584
01:20:08,136 --> 01:20:09,738
Play WWE Supercard today.

1585
01:20:09,804 --> 01:20:11,506
Collect all the new Summerslam cards.

1586
01:20:11,573 --> 01:20:13,375

[Vic] Well, Graves, you said it earlier,
who says you can't go home?

1597
01:20:56,751 --> 01:21:00,455
We are at Full Sail University
for NXT Takeover XXX,

1598
01:21:00,522 --> 01:21:04,125
the sight of the first ever
NXT Takeover which took place

1599
01:21:04,192 --> 01:21:07,028
back on May 29th, 2014.

1600
01:21:07,095 --> 01:21:08,897
And who says you can't go home?

1601
01:21:08,964 --> 01:21:11,800
We are welcoming back
a former NXT champion,

1602
01:21:11,867 --> 01:21:14,803
the current WWE champion Drew Mcintyre.

1603
01:21:14,870 --> 01:21:15,704
How are you?

1604
01:21:15,770 --> 01:21:19,040
I got my title with me
but unlike Bayley and Sasha down there,

1605
01:21:19,107 --> 01:21:20,675
it's not about me tonight.

1606
01:21:20,742 --> 01:21:23,378
It's about NXT,
it's about NXT Takeover XXX.

1607
01:21:23,445 --> 01:21:24,813
Well, we thank you for joining us.

1608
01:21:24,880 --> 01:21:28,350
You know, you got a big match tomorrow
at Summerslam taking on Randy Orton.

1609
01:21:28,783 --> 01:21:32,053
Yeah. Well, I could talk,
but we don't have all night.

1610
01:21:32,120 --> 01:21:34,522
Randy Orton is a piece of crap.
He's a very talented piece of crap.

1611
01:21:34,589 --> 01:21:35,757
He deserves his ass kicked.

1612
01:21:35,824 --> 01:21:38,059
Drew Mcintyre is gonna
kick his ass in the Thunderdome.

1613
01:21:38,126 --> 01:21:40,362
I can't wait to see that.
I need a pick right now,

1614
01:21:40,428 --> 01:21:43,665
as a former NXT champion,
Keith Lee or Karrion Kross?

1615
01:21:45,066 --> 01:21:46,268
Put me on the spot.

1616
01:21:47,035 --> 01:21:48,103
I'm gonna go with

1617
01:21:49,170 --> 01:21:50,205
Keith Lee.

1618
01:21:50,572 --> 01:21:56,077
Keith Lee, will he be able to retain
his NXT championship here tonight?

1619
01:21:56,144 --> 01:21:57,245
Don't let me down.

1620
01:21:57,312 --> 01:22:00,782
[Vic] Because as you can see,
Karrion Kross is warming up.

1621
01:22:00,849 --> 01:22:06,221
Are the sands of time ticking away
on the championship reign of Keith Lee?

1622
01:22:06,288 --> 01:22:10,325
We'll find out tonight
in our NXT championship main event.

1623
01:22:11,293 --> 01:22:14,696
[Corey] It's not the only championship
yet to be decided.

1624
01:22:14,763 --> 01:22:19,067
The NXT Women's Championship
is on the line in moments.

1625
01:22:19,134 --> 01:22:22,771
Can Io Shirai
successfully defend her championship

1626
01:22:22,837 --> 01:22:26,708
or will Dakota Kai
be the one to dethrone Io,

1627
01:22:26,775 --> 01:22:30,111
especially when you factor
Raquel Gonzalez into the match.

1628
01:22:33,982 --> 01:22:37,652
Everyone has placed Io Shirai
on this unattainable pedestal.

1629
01:22:37,719 --> 01:22:40,422
"She's so great.
She's untouchable. She is the best."

as the best on the planet.

1632
01:22:45,660 --> 01:22:46,628
Yeah, right.

1633
01:22:47,395 --> 01:22:48,330
[Dakota] I changed that.

1634
01:22:48,863 --> 01:22:50,365
[announcer] Oh my god.

1635
01:22:50,432 --> 01:22:52,934
Blindsided by Dakota Kai.

1636
01:22:53,001 --> 01:22:54,703
I'll let you guys in a little secret.

1637
01:22:55,203 --> 01:22:58,740
The best path to success
is getting inside your opponent's head.

1638
01:22:59,874 --> 01:23:02,310
Dakota, you just pissed me off.

[Io] Candice LeRae, Tegan Nox.

1641
01:23:23,898 --> 01:23:27,802
I've done everything on my own
to get to where I am right now.

1642
01:23:27,869 --> 01:23:31,473
I don't need friends,
enemies, or insurance policies.

Hey, Io. Hear me out.

It's gonna feel so good
when I kick you in the face,

01:24:02,170 --> 01:24:04,873

right at the number one contender.

That's Raquel Gonzalez.

1654
01:24:19,921 --> 01:24:23,591
[Vic] This has been
Dakota Kai's plan since day one.

1655
01:24:23,658 --> 01:24:26,394
[announcer 2]
Can the Genius of the Sky overcome Dakota

1656
01:24:26,461 --> 01:24:27,829
and her devastating backup?

1657
01:24:27,896 --> 01:24:32,934
At Takeover XXX, your captain becomes
the new NXT women's champion.

1658
01:24:41,276 --> 01:24:44,879
-[music starts]
-[crowd cheering]

1659
01:25:08,870 --> 01:25:12,740
[Vic] Well, there you see Dakota Kai
with her insurance policy.

1660
01:25:13,508 --> 01:25:19,914
Is Dakota Kai on the verge of becoming
the new NXT women's champion?

1661
01:25:19,981 --> 01:25:25,920
Because Dakota Kai certainly is
a rising star in WWE Supercard

1662
01:25:25,987 --> 01:25:30,725
with over 160,000 cards collected
since she debuted just a season ago.

1663
01:25:30,792 --> 01:25:34,629
She's a fierce competitor
with incredible toughness and speed stats.

1664
01:25:34,696 --> 01:25:37,365
Corey, she's gonna need the speed
and the toughness here tonight.

1665
01:25:37,765 --> 01:25:41,302
[Corey] You can't underestimate
the mind games of Dakota Kai.

1666
01:25:41,703 --> 01:25:44,739
This was all a well-laid trap
and tonight she could reach top--

1667
01:25:44,806 --> 01:25:46,040
The top of the mountain.

1668
01:25:46,107 --> 01:25:49,043
-[music starts]
-[crowd cheering]

1669
01:25:57,552 --> 01:26:02,257
[Vic] But Beth, we are looking at
a very angry NXT women's champion

1670
01:26:02,323 --> 01:26:06,161
but in your opinion,
is her title in jeopardy here tonight?

1671
01:26:06,227 --> 01:26:08,062
[Beth] That's very possible, Vic.

1672
01:26:08,129 --> 01:26:10,331
We've never quite seen
a superstar as graceful

1673
01:26:10,398 --> 01:26:11,866
and dangerous as Io Shirai

1674
01:26:11,933 --> 01:26:14,836
but Shirai has a challenge
with Dakota Kai tonight

1675
01:26:14,903 --> 01:26:16,738
and Raquel Gonzalez in her corner.

1676
01:26:18,173 --> 01:26:22,644
[Vic] Io Shirai also joined Dakota Kai
in season five of WWE supercard.

1677
01:26:22,710 --> 01:26:28,016
Io Shirai's edge is her charisma
and she has over 300,000 cards

1678
01:26:28,082 --> 01:26:30,318
collected since her debut.

1679
01:26:31,653 --> 01:26:36,024
What a championship matchup
we are set for here tonight.

1680
01:26:36,591 --> 01:26:41,029
And there is no love lost
between champion and challenger

1681
01:26:41,095 --> 01:26:44,465
heading into this showdown
here at NXT Takeover XXX.

1682
01:26:46,134 --> 01:26:47,335
[crowd chatter]

1683
01:26:47,735 --> 01:26:48,670
[bell rings]

1684
01:26:48,736 --> 01:26:51,839
[announcer] The following contest
scheduled for one fall is for

1685
01:26:51,906 --> 01:26:56,778
the NXT Women's Championship.

1686
01:26:57,845 --> 01:27:01,849
Introducing the challenger,
accompanied by Raquel Gonzalez,

1687
01:27:02,217 --> 01:27:04,085
from Auckland, New Zealand,

1688
01:27:04,152 --> 01:27:06,321
Dakota Kai.

1689
01:27:06,387 --> 01:27:08,523
[crowd booing]

1690
01:27:08,590 --> 01:27:11,993
And her opponent from Tokyo, Japan,

1691
01:27:12,060 --> 01:27:16,030
she is the NXT Women's Champion,

1692
01:27:16,097 --> 01:27:19,167
Io Shirai.

1693
01:27:19,233 --> 01:27:24,138
[cheers and applause]

1694
01:27:24,205 --> 01:27:27,442
[Vic] Shirai has her work cut out
for her tonight and Beth,

1695
01:27:27,508 --> 01:27:30,078
during your time
as women's champion in WWE,

1696
01:27:30,144 --> 01:27:33,715
how did you block out the x-factor,
whoever was on the outside?

1697
01:27:33,781 --> 01:27:35,750
In tonight's case,
that being Raquel Gonzalez.

1698
01:27:35,817 --> 01:27:38,253
[Beth] That's such a challenge,
because you have to keep all your focus

1699
01:27:38,319 --> 01:27:42,624
on the person in the ring. This is
a carefully laid out plan by Dakota Kai.

1700
01:27:42,690 --> 01:27:45,760
She brought her insurance policy
and I think that she's--

1701
01:27:45,827 --> 01:27:47,061
[all of them] Oh!

1702
01:27:47,128 --> 01:27:49,030
[Vic] It's no insurance policy needed.

1703
01:27:49,097 --> 01:27:51,466
Shirai going right at Dakota Kai.

1704
01:27:51,532 --> 01:27:55,803
And let's not forget, Beth, Io said
she wanted to hurt Kai here tonight.

1705
01:27:56,104 --> 01:27:59,874
[Beth] Shirai certainly has
retribution on her mind.

1706
01:27:59,941 --> 01:28:01,976
[they groan]

1707
01:28:02,043 --> 01:28:04,012
[Vic] And now Dakota Kai
turning things around.

1708
01:28:04,078 --> 01:28:07,115
[Corey] This can all be part
of the mind games of Dakota Kai.

1709
01:28:07,181 --> 01:28:10,251
She has gotten Io Shirai
so angry, so flustered

1710
01:28:10,318 --> 01:28:12,720
that Io is much more likely
to make a mistake.

1711
01:28:12,787 --> 01:28:15,723
If that happens, Dakota Kai
is leaving here with the championship.

1712
01:28:16,391 --> 01:28:18,059
[Vic] And Dakota Kai gets caught

1713
01:28:18,126 --> 01:28:20,762
and Io Shirai now
turning things right back around.

1714
01:28:20,828 --> 01:28:23,831
[all of them] Whoa!

1715
01:28:24,532 --> 01:28:26,834
[Corey] Io landed rough on that one.

1716
01:28:26,901 --> 01:28:30,204
[Vic] And Shirai might have baited in
Dakota Kai for just a moment.

1717
01:28:30,271 --> 01:28:32,407
[Corey] Dragon Screw. Very effective.

1718
01:28:32,473 --> 01:28:34,609
But I think
Io might have rung her own bell.

1719
01:28:34,676 --> 01:28:36,077
[crowd cheering]

1720
01:28:36,144 --> 01:28:38,379
[Vic] Well, Beth, back to Io Shirai,
she called Dakota Kai

1721
01:28:38,446 --> 01:28:41,349
a scared little girl heading into
this championship match.

1722
01:28:41,416 --> 01:28:44,786
[Beth] Shirai refusing to be rattled
by what Dakota Kai has called

1723
01:28:44,852 --> 01:28:47,322
psychological warfare
coming into this matchup.

1724
01:28:47,388 --> 01:28:48,656
Shirai oozing confidence.

1725
01:28:48,723 --> 01:28:51,192
It's that confidence
that has brought her thus far.

1726
01:28:52,193 --> 01:28:54,495
[Vic] And obviously Shirai
with the champion's advantage

1727
01:28:54,562 --> 01:28:56,531
and there is the insurance policy.

1728
01:28:56,597 --> 01:28:59,000
[Beth] The brick wall of a woman,
Raquel Gonzalez.

1729
01:28:59,634 --> 01:29:03,037
[Vic] And it already paid dividends
as Shirai into the ring post.

1730
01:29:03,104 --> 01:29:05,707
[crowd booing]

1731
01:29:05,773 --> 01:29:08,976
[Vic] And Dakota Kai has to have
the champion, that being Io Shirai

1732
01:29:09,043 --> 01:29:12,080
back in the ring. Title only
changes hands on pinfall or submission.

1733
01:29:12,146 --> 01:29:14,716
[Corey] Of course, but it looked as
though Io made some serious contact

1734
01:29:14,782 --> 01:29:16,517
in the bicep area. Cover here by Dakota.

1735
01:29:16,584 --> 01:29:19,721
[Vic] Cover for the title.
And Io Shirai able to kick-out at two.

1736
01:29:19,787 --> 01:29:22,724
[Beth] Kai moving quickly,
looking to take advantage

1737
01:29:22,790 --> 01:29:24,659
and now staying on Shirai.

1738
01:29:26,561 --> 01:29:29,197
[Vic] You know, Corey brought up
a great point earlier, Beth,

1739
01:29:29,263 --> 01:29:33,334
about the mindset of Dakota Kai
who said she's already won

1740
01:29:33,401 --> 01:29:34,969
a little bit of the battle here tonight

1741
01:29:35,036 --> 01:29:37,805
because she has gotten
in the mind of Dakota Kai.

1742
01:29:37,872 --> 01:29:40,341
-Would you agree with that?
-[Beth] I would say that Dakota Kai

1743
01:29:40,408 --> 01:29:43,878
has finally found a way that she could
be never underestimated again,

1744
01:29:43,945 --> 01:29:45,213
never pushed aside.

1745
01:29:45,279 --> 01:29:47,615
And she has brought that
into the ring today

1746
01:29:47,682 --> 01:29:50,718
and it looks to be
throwing Io Shirai off her game.

1747
01:29:50,785 --> 01:29:51,786
[they groan]

1748
01:29:51,853 --> 01:29:54,722
[Vic] And we've already seen,
as we mentioned, Gonzalez on the outside.

1749
01:29:54,789 --> 01:29:58,726
Dakota Kai, Beth, time and time again
has said she has done it all by herself.

1750
01:29:58,793 --> 01:30:00,094
Well, that's not really the case.

1751
01:30:00,161 --> 01:30:01,562
[Beth] That's an absolute lie.

1752
01:30:01,629 --> 01:30:05,233
Dakota Kai has done nothing but
ambush Io Shirai, set her up.

1753
01:30:05,633 --> 01:30:07,935
-[Corey & Vic] Oh.
-[Beth] And tried to lay the dominos

1754
01:30:08,002 --> 01:30:09,170
in her favor.

1755
01:30:11,072 --> 01:30:14,375
[Vic] And shirai, whoa,
throwing Dakota Kai--

1756
01:30:14,442 --> 01:30:17,211
-[Corey] Nice one.
-[Vic] Taken out and boom.

1757
01:30:17,278 --> 01:30:18,312
What a kick.

1758
01:30:19,046 --> 01:30:22,984
But Graves, thus far,
Dakota Kai's plan has worked to perfection

1759
01:30:23,050 --> 01:30:24,185
whether you like it or not.

1760
01:30:24,252 --> 01:30:26,988
[Corey] Dakota has been
one step ahead of the champion

1761
01:30:27,054 --> 01:30:30,324
for the duration of this matchup.
And look at this, this is painful.

1762
01:30:30,958 --> 01:30:33,561
[Beth] Kai using
every bit of that five-count.

1763
01:30:34,896 --> 01:30:35,963
[Corey] That's smart.

1764
01:30:37,598 --> 01:30:40,134
Maximize the damage within the rules.

1765
01:30:40,802 --> 01:30:43,438
[Vic] And much like we saw
a couple of weeks ago, kick to the face,

1766
01:30:43,504 --> 01:30:45,973
into the cover,
new champion and a kick-out again

1767
01:30:46,474 --> 01:30:47,842
by the champion Io Shirai.

1768
01:30:47,909 --> 01:30:51,646
[Corey] Io still favoring her elbow
that was forced into the ring post

1769
01:30:51,712 --> 01:30:55,349
a few moments ago
after the encounter with Raquel Gonzalez.

1770
01:30:55,716 --> 01:30:58,686
[Vic] Dakota Kai,
this is just a new side of Dakota Kai.

1771
01:30:58,753 --> 01:31:01,022
So, desperately wants to
become champion and Beth,

1772
01:31:01,088 --> 01:31:03,157
you've witnessed
the evolution of Kai firsthand.

1773
01:31:03,224 --> 01:31:05,626
[Beth] I saw Dakota Kai come into
the Mae Young Classic,

1774
01:31:05,693 --> 01:31:07,395
a fresh young face.

1775
01:31:07,462 --> 01:31:09,764
-[Corey] Cover.
-[Beth] This is a different Dakota Kai.

1776
01:31:09,831 --> 01:31:12,567
She's not looking outward.
She's not worried about making friends.

1777
01:31:12,633 --> 01:31:14,836
She's only worried about herself.

1778
01:31:15,803 --> 01:31:19,040
[Corey] And that is
the mindset of a champion, Beth.

1779
01:31:19,106 --> 01:31:23,911
Dakota Kai is here in a high profile match
in NXT Takeover XXX.

1780
01:31:24,212 --> 01:31:27,548
She's not the same young girl
that came here looking for opportunity.

1781
01:31:27,615 --> 01:31:30,017
-Dakota is ready to take what she wants.
-[Beth] I'd agree, Corey,

1782
01:31:30,084 --> 01:31:31,786
but Dakota Kai is also a user.

1783
01:31:31,853 --> 01:31:34,922
She's got Raquel Gonzalez
in her corner to do her bidding.

1784
01:31:34,989 --> 01:31:38,192
-[referee] One, two, three--
-[crowd cheering]

1785
01:31:38,259 --> 01:31:39,560
[Corey] That's the old saying,

1786
01:31:39,627 --> 01:31:41,529
what good are friends
if you can't use them?

1787
01:31:41,996 --> 01:31:43,931
-[Vic] Oh, trending--
-[Corey] Cover!

1788
01:31:43,998 --> 01:31:46,834
[Vic] Kai into the cover, hook to the leg
and Shirai again kicking out.

1789
01:31:46,901 --> 01:31:50,338
And take a look,
trending right now, NXT Takeover.

1790
01:31:50,404 --> 01:31:52,507
And are we gonna see
a new women's champion

1791
01:31:52,573 --> 01:31:54,675
here at NXT Takeover XXX?

1792
01:31:54,742 --> 01:31:58,379
And Dakota Kai, as we mentioned,
whether you like the new attitude or not,

1793
01:31:58,880 --> 01:32:00,882
has certainly made it work into her favor,

1794
01:32:00,948 --> 01:32:03,651
has found herself
in a championship opportunity,

1795
01:32:03,718 --> 01:32:08,189
has used Raquel Gonzalez here tonight
and has systematically, Corey,

1796
01:32:08,256 --> 01:32:10,358
picking apart the champion here tonight.

1797
01:32:10,424 --> 01:32:13,961
[Corey] Dakota Kai doing her best to
hyperextend the elbow of Io Shirai.

1798
01:32:14,028 --> 01:32:17,498
[Beth] You see Kai using that knee brace
from that surgically repaired right knee

1799
01:32:17,565 --> 01:32:18,699
to lay pressure on.

1800
01:32:18,766 --> 01:32:21,035
[Vic] Whoa, whoa,
another cover, title is on the line

1801
01:32:21,102 --> 01:32:24,071
and another kick-out by the champion.

1802
01:32:24,906 --> 01:32:26,440
[Beth] Kai-- Oh, sorry.

1803
01:32:26,507 --> 01:32:30,478
[Vic] And Beth, every one of those
kick-outs is taking it out of Io Shirai

1804
01:32:30,545 --> 01:32:32,146
who continues to favor the left shoulder.

1805
01:32:32,213 --> 01:32:35,750
[Beth] Io shirai has struggled to get
moving out of the gate in this matchup.

1806
01:32:35,816 --> 01:32:38,553
And Kai really looking good. The--

1807
01:32:38,619 --> 01:32:41,722
[Corey] Beth, you've been a women's
champion multiple times in your career.

1808
01:32:41,789 --> 01:32:45,860
Do you think there is a danger that
Io Shirai underestimated Dakota Kai

1809
01:32:45,927 --> 01:32:48,329
-and is maybe a little too confident?
-[Beth] I've said it many times.

1810
01:32:48,396 --> 01:32:52,400
Winning the championship sometimes
is not as difficult as maintaining it.

1811
01:32:52,466 --> 01:32:56,170
At some point, you have to make sure
you don't slide into complacency.

1812
01:32:56,237 --> 01:32:57,572
[crowd cheering]

1813
01:32:57,638 --> 01:33:00,808
[Corey] Right now, Dakota Kai
looking anything but complacent,

1814
01:33:00,875 --> 01:33:02,510
continuing the assault.

1815
01:33:04,011 --> 01:33:05,846
[Beth] Dakota Kai is hungry.

1816
01:33:07,114 --> 01:33:09,917
[Vic] Another cover.
Shoulders down and a near fall.

1817
01:33:09,984 --> 01:33:14,155
Shirai almost retaining and Dakota Kai,
mauling down the champion.

1818
01:33:14,221 --> 01:33:18,359
Quickly into the cover
and another kick-out by Io Shirai.

1819
01:33:18,426 --> 01:33:20,127
[crowd cheering]

1820
01:33:20,194 --> 01:33:22,496
[Beth] But to your point, Vic,
with every single kick-out,

1821
01:33:22,563 --> 01:33:26,400
Shirai clutching that left elbow,
possibly hyperextended.

1822
01:33:26,834 --> 01:33:28,636
Nasty strikes by Kai.

1823
01:33:29,203 --> 01:33:33,074
[woman] Remember what she said about you.
This is your title, Dakota.

1824
01:33:33,140 --> 01:33:36,210
[Vic] And wisely,
Dakota Kai focusing on the left elbow.

1825
01:33:36,277 --> 01:33:38,546
Another submission center of the ring.

1826
01:33:39,480 --> 01:33:43,217
And Graves, Dakota Kai
has grounded the Genius of the Sky.

1827
01:33:43,284 --> 01:33:46,487
[Corey] And I guarantee you,
that was Dakota's mindset from the outset.

1828
01:33:46,554 --> 01:33:48,522
You wanna take away
the champion's best weapon

1829
01:33:48,589 --> 01:33:52,693
which is her aerial ability, but right now
Dakota just torturing Io Shirai's arm.

1830
01:33:52,760 --> 01:33:54,829
[Beth] Kai's got to be careful
to not get pinned here.

1831
01:33:54,895 --> 01:33:56,330
She's got to keep that shoulder up.

1832
01:33:56,397 --> 01:33:58,332
[Vic] Oh, referee in good position.

1833
01:33:59,033 --> 01:34:01,168
And Dakota Kai, her--
I don't think Dakota Kai--

1834
01:34:01,235 --> 01:34:03,771
again, Corey, to your point,
with that left elbow,

1835
01:34:03,838 --> 01:34:07,241
how much damage
has been done to Io Shirai?

1836
01:34:07,875 --> 01:34:12,279
[Corey] Only time will tell,
but Dakota Kai has acquired the target

1837
01:34:12,346 --> 01:34:15,383
and is just dismantling--
Whoa, looking for a big kick.

1838
01:34:15,449 --> 01:34:18,119
-[Beth] Whoa.
-[Vic] Didn't connect, what a Palm Strike.

1839
01:34:19,720 --> 01:34:23,624
And this is the moment now,
Beth, for Io Shirai to regroup,

1840
01:34:23,691 --> 01:34:25,993
maybe get some feeling back
in the left arm

1841
01:34:26,060 --> 01:34:28,229
and start to mount some offense.

1842
01:34:28,295 --> 01:34:29,630
[crowd] Io! Io! Io!

1843
01:34:29,697 --> 01:34:34,301
[Beth] The NXT universe solidly behind
their women's champion, Io Shirai.

1844
01:34:35,970 --> 01:34:40,541
[Vic] And now Shirai charging in,
trying to string together some offense,

1845
01:34:40,608 --> 01:34:42,710
trying to keep the momentum in her favor.

1846
01:34:43,244 --> 01:34:45,913
Charging in and dropping Kai face first.

1847
01:34:47,248 --> 01:34:49,517
Io Shirai now, Kai in her sights.

1848
01:34:49,583 --> 01:34:51,919
NXT women's champion goes around.

1849
01:34:51,986 --> 01:34:53,921
[Beth] 619 with one arm.

1850
01:34:56,090 --> 01:34:57,158
[Corey] But at what cost?

1851
01:34:57,224 --> 01:35:00,194
You can see Io immediately
favoring her arm once again.

1852
01:35:00,261 --> 01:35:02,296
[Vic] To the top rope. Dropkick connects.

1853
01:35:02,363 --> 01:35:03,697
[Corey] Legs still work though.

1854
01:35:03,764 --> 01:35:07,735
[Vic] Champion into the cover
to retain the NXT women's title

1855
01:35:07,802 --> 01:35:10,438
and Kai kicking out at two.

1856
01:35:11,238 --> 01:35:14,875
And you can see the pain
etched on the face of Io Shirai.

1857
01:35:14,942 --> 01:35:18,245
[Beth] Shirai uses that left arm so much
in her offense for balance,

1858
01:35:18,813 --> 01:35:19,647
gripping--

1859
01:35:19,714 --> 01:35:21,615
[crowd] Io! Io! Io!

1860
01:35:21,682 --> 01:35:24,952
[Beth] Every offensive
of maneuver includes pain on herself.

1861
01:35:25,519 --> 01:35:27,788
[Corey] Yeah, Io
unable to muscle up Dakota.

1862
01:35:27,855 --> 01:35:28,923
Standing switch.

1863
01:35:29,290 --> 01:35:32,960
[Vic] Shirai though, rolling through.
And Double Stomp to the midsection.

1864
01:35:34,161 --> 01:35:39,867
And again, Io Shirai, every move that she
successfully does to Dakota Kai, Shirai--

1865
01:35:40,234 --> 01:35:44,271
Io immediately grabs that left arm,
now trying to beat feeling back into it.

1866
01:35:44,839 --> 01:35:47,775
[Beth] Shirai needing to shift
that offense, do more leg kicks.

1867
01:35:50,444 --> 01:35:54,482
[Vic] Shirai trying to retain
the NXT women's title here tonight.

1868
01:35:55,015 --> 01:35:57,184
Goes through, so does Dakota Kai.

1869
01:35:57,251 --> 01:35:58,252
[Corey] Uh-oh. Uh-oh!

1870
01:35:58,319 --> 01:36:00,855
[Vic] And Dakota Kai
looking for a huge German Suplex.

1871
01:36:00,921 --> 01:36:03,324
You talk about
a game changer in this matchup.

1872
01:36:03,390 --> 01:36:04,892
[Corey] This could be a game ender.

1873
01:36:04,959 --> 01:36:07,128
[Vic] Kai sliding down,
again, trying to attempt.

1874
01:36:07,194 --> 01:36:10,030
Dakota Kai trying to break
the grip of Io Shirai.

1875
01:36:10,831 --> 01:36:14,168
Shirai instead,
down into the chest of Kai.

1876
01:36:15,236 --> 01:36:18,639
Well, that was dangerously close
for the champion.

1877
01:36:18,706 --> 01:36:21,942
[Corey] The champion able to avert
disaster in that particular instance.

1878
01:36:22,276 --> 01:36:25,479
Dakota Kai finds her way back in the ring
as we take another look at this.

1879
01:36:25,546 --> 01:36:28,883
Nothing fancy.
Just two feet right to the heart.

1880
01:36:29,183 --> 01:36:31,318
[woman] Come on, Dakota! Come on!

1881
01:36:32,620 --> 01:36:35,156
[Vic] Io shirai into the cover now.

1882
01:36:35,523 --> 01:36:39,460
Hook of the leg and Dakota Kai
kicking out and Kai not only kicking out,

1883
01:36:39,527 --> 01:36:43,430
transitioning right back into a submission
on that injured left arm,

1884
01:36:43,497 --> 01:36:45,166
focusing on the left elbow.

1885
01:36:45,499 --> 01:36:47,134
And now the shoulder joint as well.

1886
01:36:47,868 --> 01:36:52,807
And oh, it was Kai who said she was
gonna kick Shirai over and over again.

1887
01:36:54,241 --> 01:36:56,844
[Beth] Look at the change
of demeanor on Io Shirai.

1888
01:36:59,747 --> 01:37:00,881
[Dakota] Come on, now.

1889
01:37:00,948 --> 01:37:01,816
Come on!

1890
01:37:01,882 --> 01:37:03,150
[Beth] Wow.

1891
01:37:03,217 --> 01:37:06,020
[they scream]

1892
01:37:06,086 --> 01:37:08,055
[Beth] That fighting spirit.

1893
01:37:08,889 --> 01:37:10,758
[Vic] Io Shirai fired up now.

1894
01:37:12,960 --> 01:37:14,562
Shirai answering with clubbing blows.

1895
01:37:14,628 --> 01:37:17,364
Champion now picking up
some momentum-- Oh.

1896
01:37:17,431 --> 01:37:19,967
[Corey] Scorpion kick on the mark.
The champion is rocked.

1897
01:37:20,034 --> 01:37:21,869
[Beth] Give the assist to the knee brace.

1898
01:37:22,903 --> 01:37:24,238
[Vic] And now Dakota Kai

1899
01:37:25,439 --> 01:37:27,441
trying to-- No one there.

1900
01:37:27,508 --> 01:37:31,378
A swing and a miss.
Shirai now catching Kai,

1901
01:37:32,079 --> 01:37:33,848
looking for that German Suplex.

1902
01:37:33,914 --> 01:37:36,283
-Reversal.
-[Corey] Oh, gnarly.

1903
01:37:37,751 --> 01:37:39,053
[Vic] Nasty landing.

1904
01:37:39,119 --> 01:37:42,223
And now Dakota Kai again, no one there.

1905
01:37:42,289 --> 01:37:43,991
And Shirai charges in.

1906
01:37:45,226 --> 01:37:47,328
-[Beth] Wow.
-[Vic] Second time.

1907
01:37:49,864 --> 01:37:52,600
The champion absolutely relentless.

1908
01:37:55,002 --> 01:37:58,272
[Beth] Io Shirai
struggling through the pain.

1909
01:37:58,339 --> 01:38:01,275
[crowd] Io! Io! Io!

1910
01:38:01,342 --> 01:38:05,713
[Vic] And with one arm now,
Io Shirai all the way to the top rope

1911
01:38:05,779 --> 01:38:08,649
and Dakota Kai out of desperation,

1912
01:38:09,216 --> 01:38:13,654
well-scouted what Shirai can do
when she takes flight.

1913
01:38:13,721 --> 01:38:16,123
[Corey] You can still see Io Shirai
favoring her left arm.

1914
01:38:16,190 --> 01:38:19,426
I wonder if she was unable
to mount the top rope

1915
01:38:19,493 --> 01:38:20,961
as quickly as she would have liked.

1916
01:38:21,595 --> 01:38:25,099
Obviously suffering the effects
of the attack from Dakota Kai.

1917
01:38:25,366 --> 01:38:27,368
[Beth] Now, Kai looking to take advantage.

1918
01:38:27,434 --> 01:38:30,404
[crowd chatter]

1919
01:38:30,471 --> 01:38:35,843
[Vic] Well, Dakota Kai
certainly and Dakota Kai--

1920
01:38:35,910 --> 01:38:40,247
I was gonna say certainly looking to take
advantage in deep, but now Kai hung up.

1921
01:38:41,115 --> 01:38:43,584
[Beth] So difficult to maintain balance.

1922
01:38:45,719 --> 01:38:47,154
[Vic] Double Stomp.

1923
01:38:47,221 --> 01:38:50,124
[crowd cheering]

1924
01:38:50,190 --> 01:38:53,994
[Corey] Crushing impact
to the chest of the challenger.

1925
01:38:54,061 --> 01:38:59,667
[Vic] Champion crawling into
the cover to retain the title and again,

1926
01:38:59,733 --> 01:39:03,203
Dakota Kai keeping
her championship dreams alive.

1927
01:39:03,804 --> 01:39:05,472
And Graves, you said it earlier,

1928
01:39:05,539 --> 01:39:08,175
Io Shirai might not be
a hundred percent with her arm,

1929
01:39:08,242 --> 01:39:09,643
certainly is with her feet.

1930
01:39:09,710 --> 01:39:12,379
[Corey] Like a dagger
through the heart of Dakota Kai.

1931
01:39:12,880 --> 01:39:16,483
Somehow, Kai fights on
and even with one bad wing,

1932
01:39:16,550 --> 01:39:18,886
Io Shirai still fighting.

1933
01:39:19,520 --> 01:39:23,090
[Beth] But Shirai unable to get
that leverage with that damaged arm

1934
01:39:23,157 --> 01:39:24,491
in the pinfall attempt.

1935
01:39:25,025 --> 01:39:27,728
Both of these women
wearing the wounds of this battle.

1936
01:39:27,795 --> 01:39:33,067
[crowd chatter]

1937
01:39:33,133 --> 01:39:36,303
[Vic] Oh, and Shirai now Double Underhook,

1938
01:39:36,370 --> 01:39:38,672
looking to plant
Dakota Kai center of the ring.

1939
01:39:38,739 --> 01:39:40,541
Kai able to reverse with a headbutt.

1940
01:39:40,908 --> 01:39:43,844
Kai holding on and now, oh!

1941
01:39:44,645 --> 01:39:46,480
Two knees to the spine. Cover.

1942
01:39:46,547 --> 01:39:49,283
The kairopractor.
Is it enough to make Dakota Kai champion?

1943
01:39:49,350 --> 01:39:51,685
And Shirai kicks out again.
And quickly into the arm bar.

1944
01:39:51,752 --> 01:39:54,621
The injured left arm.
Is Io Shirai gonna tap out?

1945
01:39:54,688 --> 01:39:58,459
Are we gonna have a new NXT women's
champion here in NXT Takeover XXX?

1946
01:39:58,525 --> 01:40:01,428
[Corey] You can see Io attempting to shift
her weight to minimize the pressure,

1947
01:40:01,495 --> 01:40:03,330
but Dakota has this arm bar
locked in tight.

1948
01:40:03,397 --> 01:40:04,565
[Vic] Shirai trying to do anything.

1949
01:40:04,631 --> 01:40:07,668
The champion desperate trying to
get on the clips of Dakota Kai.

1950
01:40:07,735 --> 01:40:09,003
Kai holding on.

1951
01:40:09,069 --> 01:40:12,072
Io Shirai trying to break
the hand grip, Graves, right now,

1952
01:40:12,139 --> 01:40:15,376
but Io Shirai crawling, probably
not giving an inch and Dakota Kai,

1953
01:40:15,442 --> 01:40:17,845
look at the placement
in between the ropes.

1954
01:40:17,911 --> 01:40:21,215
[Corey] This is brilliant. This is
great ring awareness by the challenger.

1955
01:40:21,482 --> 01:40:23,884
Io Shirai with nowhere to go.

1956
01:40:23,951 --> 01:40:27,287
Desperately trying to maintain
her grip and not submit.

1957
01:40:27,354 --> 01:40:29,189
[Vic] The hyperextension on the elbow.

1958
01:40:29,256 --> 01:40:31,859
Dakota Kai doing
anything she can to hold on.

1959
01:40:31,925 --> 01:40:34,161
Io Shirai doing
anything she can to survive,

1960
01:40:34,228 --> 01:40:36,030
reaching out with her foot
for the bottom rope

1961
01:40:36,096 --> 01:40:40,934
as Io Shirai trying desperately
with her feet to find the bottom rope.

1962
01:40:41,001 --> 01:40:42,736
And the champion does so.

1963
01:40:42,803 --> 01:40:44,004
[referee] Break it!

1964
01:40:44,271 --> 01:40:46,340
[Corey] Io fights on, but at what cost?

1965
01:40:46,407 --> 01:40:49,843
Dakota Kai came within seconds
of snapping the champion's arm in two.

1966
01:40:49,910 --> 01:40:53,514
[Beth] Io Shirai was in that arm bar
for an eternity.

1967
01:40:53,580 --> 01:40:58,852
[crowd cheering]

1968
01:40:58,919 --> 01:41:01,588
[Corey] Serious damage
inflicted by the challenger.

1969
01:41:02,256 --> 01:41:04,291
Can Dakota Kai finish the job?

1970
01:41:04,358 --> 01:41:06,894
[Beth] Shirai barely able to move
and lift that arm.

1971
01:41:06,960 --> 01:41:08,228
-[Vic] Whoa!
-[Corey] Oh.

1972
01:41:09,563 --> 01:41:12,800
[Vic] And Shirai continuing to try
to shake some feeling

1973
01:41:12,866 --> 01:41:14,868
and now Dakota Kai again-- Oh!

1974
01:41:14,935 --> 01:41:18,272
Was looking for another Springboard,
got caught with the foot.

1975
01:41:18,338 --> 01:41:23,477
Dakota Kai now trying to take advantage,
but it's Io Shirai turning things around.

1976
01:41:24,511 --> 01:41:28,348
And the Genius of the Sky
again looking to take flight. Oh!

1977
01:41:28,415 --> 01:41:31,318
And right to
the injured left elbow goes Kai.

1978
01:41:32,186 --> 01:41:36,223
[Beth] Intelligent offense
by Dakota Kai has Io Shirai in trouble.

1979
01:41:36,290 --> 01:41:39,560
[Vic] Oh, no. That's how Kai
became the number one contender.

1980
01:41:39,626 --> 01:41:43,397
Is this how Kai is gonna become
NXT women's champion?

1981
01:41:43,464 --> 01:41:46,800
And no, the foot--
The foot, the left foot of Io Shirai.

1982
01:41:47,568 --> 01:41:49,703
Wow. That was close.

1983
01:41:49,770 --> 01:41:51,305
[they groan]

1984
01:41:51,371 --> 01:41:54,241
Go. On the ropes. Just the two.

1985
01:41:54,775 --> 01:41:57,811
[Corey] And you can see
the frustration on the face of Dakota Kai.

1986
01:41:57,878 --> 01:42:02,883
You're right. That was the maneuver that
basically destroyed Rhea Ripley's face.

1987
01:42:03,350 --> 01:42:06,453
[Beth] I'm not-- I'm not even sure
Io Shirai had it in her to kick-out.

1988
01:42:06,520 --> 01:42:08,388
[crowd cheering]

1989
01:42:08,455 --> 01:42:13,961
[Vic] Well, Io Shirai, presence of mind
to get the left foot on the bottom rope,

1990
01:42:15,429 --> 01:42:21,635
and at least continue to have a fighting
chance here tonight as Dakota Kai-- Whoa!

1991
01:42:22,102 --> 01:42:23,637
[Corey] Champ puts on the brakes, but--

1992
01:42:23,704 --> 01:42:24,938
[all of them] Whoa!

1993
01:42:26,507 --> 01:42:27,741
[Corey] Oh, no.

1994
01:42:27,808 --> 01:42:30,244
[Vic] But wait a minute,
Shirai, German Suplex.

1995
01:42:30,310 --> 01:42:32,346
[they groan]

1996
01:42:32,412 --> 01:42:34,314
-[Corey] Official--
-[Vic] We got no referee.

1997
01:42:34,781 --> 01:42:38,519
[Corey] He's out cold courtesy
of a boot from Dakota Kai.

1998
01:42:41,655 --> 01:42:43,524
Over the Moonsault.

1999
01:42:43,590 --> 01:42:45,826
[Vic] Shirai connected.
There's no official.

2000
01:42:46,393 --> 01:42:47,661
[Corey] This has got to be over.

2001
01:42:47,728 --> 01:42:50,597
-[Vic] There's no referee.
-[Beth] Count to three, four, five.

2002
01:42:50,664 --> 01:42:52,332
[crowd] Eight, nine, ten!

2003
01:42:52,399 --> 01:42:54,401
[fan] Come on, Kai. Get up.

2004
01:42:54,468 --> 01:42:55,903
[Io screams]

2005
01:42:55,969 --> 01:42:59,439
[Vic] Shirai realizing
what has just happened,

2006
01:42:59,506 --> 01:43:01,408
realizing the official-- Well, no.

2007
01:43:01,475 --> 01:43:03,210
[Corey] Raquel Gonzalez!

2008
01:43:03,710 --> 01:43:06,413
[Vic] The insurance policy on the outside.

2009
01:43:06,880 --> 01:43:10,050
Gonzalez plants
the champion center of the ring.

2010
01:43:10,117 --> 01:43:12,486
-Oh, come on. Not like this.
-[Beth] No way.

2011
01:43:12,553 --> 01:43:14,855
-[Corey] Just like this.
-[Vic] Not like this.

2012
01:43:14,922 --> 01:43:16,857
[Corey] This is how the world changes.

2013
01:43:16,924 --> 01:43:18,692
-[Beth] No way.
-[Vic] Come on, no.

2014
01:43:19,259 --> 01:43:21,028
We're gonna have a new champion.

2015
01:43:22,296 --> 01:43:23,830
Io kicked out.

2016
01:43:23,897 --> 01:43:30,370
[crowd cheering]

2017
01:43:31,138 --> 01:43:33,073
[Vic] Gonzalez in disbelief.

2018
01:43:33,140 --> 01:43:35,242
Dakota Kai in disbelief.

2019
01:43:36,910 --> 01:43:40,981
[Corey] At this point, panic has
got to be setting in for Dakota Kai.

2020
01:43:41,415 --> 01:43:44,851
[Beth] Dakota Kai's master plan
is falling apart.

2021
01:43:44,918 --> 01:43:47,688
[crowd] Io! Io! Io!

2022
01:43:47,754 --> 01:43:50,090
Do something. You gotta do something.

2023
01:43:50,724 --> 01:43:53,827
[Vic] I mean, Beth, what has to be going
through the mind of Dakota Kai now?

2024
01:43:53,894 --> 01:43:55,095
[Beth] Complete panic.

2025
01:43:55,162 --> 01:43:58,065
Plan X, Y, Z, nothing has worked.

2026
01:43:58,932 --> 01:44:02,302
[Vic] Dakota Kai again,
this time not successful.

2027
01:44:02,369 --> 01:44:04,871
-[Corey] Crossface.
-[Vic] Crossface center of the ring.

2028
01:44:04,938 --> 01:44:07,407
Io Shirai though, only with one good arm.

2029
01:44:07,474 --> 01:44:09,710
Can Io Shirai lock in the crossface?

2030
01:44:11,311 --> 01:44:12,913
Is Kai gonna tap out?

2031
01:44:13,246 --> 01:44:15,449
Dakota Kai reaching for the bottom rope.

2032
01:44:16,683 --> 01:44:21,455
Dakota Kai so close, but the champion
looking to make Kai submit.

2033
01:44:23,423 --> 01:44:27,160
Dakota Kai able to roll through,
roll through the pressure. Oh!

2034
01:44:27,828 --> 01:44:29,630
What a devastating knee.

2035
01:44:29,696 --> 01:44:33,233
[crowd chatter]

2036
01:44:33,300 --> 01:44:37,070
[Vic] And Io Shirai
now finally back up top.

2037
01:44:37,771 --> 01:44:42,175
Genius of the Sky takes flight,
wipes out the opposition.

2038
01:44:43,210 --> 01:44:47,247
[Corey] Both of Io's knees
caught Raquel right in the forehead.

2039
01:44:47,314 --> 01:44:50,484
[Vic] The insurance policy
has been nullified.

2040
01:44:50,550 --> 01:44:55,188
Shirai to the top rope,
looking for the second Over the Moonsault.

2041
01:44:55,255 --> 01:44:57,924
Got it. Shirai connects. Cover.

2042
01:44:58,592 --> 01:45:02,596
Io Shirai retains the NXT women's title.

2043
01:45:02,663 --> 01:45:06,867
[announcer] Here is your winner
and still the NXT Women's Champion,

2044
01:45:06,933 --> 01:45:09,236
Io Shirai!

2045
01:45:09,303 --> 01:45:15,609
[Vic] What a hard-fought battle, Beth,
for the NXT Women's Champion Io Shirai.

2046
01:45:15,676 --> 01:45:18,812
[Beth] Well, Dakota Kai
certainly came to the table with a plan,

2047
01:45:18,879 --> 01:45:24,384
did her best to execute it, but it was
not enough to best the Genius of the Sky.

2048
01:45:24,451 --> 01:45:25,652
Yeah!

2049
01:45:28,855 --> 01:45:29,690
[Vic] Oh.

2050
01:45:29,756 --> 01:45:32,826
[Corey] Gonzalez from behind
flattening the champion.

2051
01:45:33,727 --> 01:45:35,095
[Beth] Why do this?

2052
01:45:35,529 --> 01:45:37,464
[Corey] Talk about a sore loser.

2053
01:45:37,531 --> 01:45:41,868
[music starts]

2054
01:45:42,669 --> 01:45:44,004
[Vic] Hold the phone.

2055
01:45:45,472 --> 01:45:47,574
Here comes Rhea Ripley.

2056
01:45:49,910 --> 01:45:51,845
[Beth] Wow.

2057
01:45:53,113 --> 01:45:55,015
[Corey] This is a staredown.

2058
01:45:55,515 --> 01:45:57,851
This-- Give me this.

2059
01:45:57,918 --> 01:45:59,353
Give me all of this.

2060
01:45:59,419 --> 01:46:06,393
[crowd chatter]

2061
01:46:20,006 --> 01:46:22,909
[fan] Just fight! Stop talking!

2062
01:46:23,944 --> 01:46:26,079
Just make contact!

2063
01:46:26,146 --> 01:46:30,283
[crowd chatter]

2064
01:46:35,322 --> 01:46:40,227
[crowd booing]

2065
01:46:42,763 --> 01:46:45,398
[Corey] Discretion is
the better part of valor sometimes

2066
01:46:45,465 --> 01:46:50,203
particularly when you're face to face
with the Nightmare Rhea Ripley.

2067
01:46:51,772 --> 01:46:54,541
But I don't think
we've seen the last of this interaction.

2068
01:46:57,043 --> 01:47:01,448
[Vic] Raquel Gonzalez
has not taken her eyes off Rhea Ripley.

2069
01:47:01,948 --> 01:47:05,585
But on this night,
Ripley comes out for the moment

2070
01:47:05,652 --> 01:47:11,358
to save the NXT Women's Champion,
which, Beth, still Io Shirai.

2071
01:47:11,424 --> 01:47:13,160
[Beth] Seeing moments during this matchup

2072
01:47:13,226 --> 01:47:15,896
with the level of
competition was unbelievable,

2073
01:47:15,962 --> 01:47:20,934
referee evading on--
Taking a knee to the face unfortunately.

2074
01:47:22,669 --> 01:47:25,438
[Corey] And Raquel Gonzalez
would rear her head

2075
01:47:25,505 --> 01:47:30,043
and nearly put Io through the ring
with a hellacious Powerbomb.

2076
01:47:30,477 --> 01:47:34,414
Put Dakota Kai in position,
wake up the official,

2077
01:47:34,481 --> 01:47:37,250
it doesn't get any closer than this
without the bell ringing.

2078
01:47:37,784 --> 01:47:41,521
[Vic] Oh, the plan was executed,
but it wasn't executed perfectly

2079
01:47:41,588 --> 01:47:46,092
as Io Shirai would show
the heart and spirit of a champion,

2080
01:47:46,159 --> 01:47:50,096
taking to the air,
sticking to her MO of her scouting report,

2081
01:47:50,163 --> 01:47:55,001
wiping out anything that moves
with this beautiful Over the Moonsault,

2082
01:47:55,068 --> 01:47:58,638
which connected not once
but twice in the matchup.

2083
01:47:58,705 --> 01:48:03,243
Second time was the charm
and Io Shirai retains the women's title

2084
01:48:03,310 --> 01:48:05,946
here at NXT Takeover XXX.

2085
01:48:06,012 --> 01:48:08,482
[music plays]

2086
01:48:20,760 --> 01:48:25,131
[dramatic music starts]

2087
01:48:26,166 --> 01:48:27,033
[man] Isolate.

2088
01:48:28,902 --> 01:48:30,604
We have been waiting.

2089
01:48:32,105 --> 01:48:35,008
And finally, the time has come

2090
01:48:35,542 --> 01:48:38,044
for our return.

2091
01:48:42,616 --> 01:48:44,885
[neighs]

2092
01:48:44,951 --> 01:48:49,222
[man] From BT Sports Studios
in the heart of London.

2093
01:48:49,289 --> 01:48:51,224
The Ring General returns.

2094
01:48:51,291 --> 01:48:52,192
Did you miss me?

2095
01:48:52,259 --> 01:48:53,493
NXT UK returns.

2096
01:48:53,560 --> 01:48:54,461
We're coming back.

2097
01:48:55,161 --> 01:48:58,832
[woman] Witness the rise.
It's time for our return.

2098
01:48:58,899 --> 01:49:01,334
NXT UK returns this September.

2099
01:49:01,401 --> 01:49:02,569
Mama's coming home.

2100
01:49:02,636 --> 01:49:05,805
All will see.

2101
01:49:17,851 --> 01:49:22,088
-[beeps]
-[crowd cheering]

2102
01:49:29,029 --> 01:49:30,897
[man] There is special

2103
01:49:31,498 --> 01:49:33,066
and then there's Tommaso Ciampa.

2104
01:49:33,133 --> 01:49:38,672
[beep]

2105
01:49:40,540 --> 01:49:43,777
[Vic] Well, I for one cannot wait
for the return of Tommaso Ciampa,

2106
01:49:43,843 --> 01:49:45,745
but Graves, check out who's in the house.

2107
01:49:45,812 --> 01:49:48,982
[Corey] One half of the reigning
Smackdown tag team champions

2108
01:49:49,049 --> 01:49:50,984
alongside Shinsuke Nakamura,

2109
01:49:51,051 --> 01:49:53,186
Cesaro is in the house.

2110
01:49:53,253 --> 01:49:57,557
The Swiss Superman fresh off a victory
last night at the WWE Thunderdome.

2111
01:49:57,624 --> 01:50:03,063
[metal music plays]

2112
01:50:03,129 --> 01:50:05,732
Excuse me, Damian Priest. Congratulations.

2113
01:50:05,799 --> 01:50:08,201
Can I get a comment on winning
the NXT North American Championship?

2114
01:50:08,268 --> 01:50:10,136
A comment?
McKenzie, if you want a comment,

2115
01:50:10,203 --> 01:50:12,606
you're gonna have to stick around
and party because right now,

2116
01:50:12,672 --> 01:50:15,375
the new North American champion
is gonna celebrate.

2117
01:50:15,442 --> 01:50:17,711
Ladies, let's party.

2118
01:50:18,311 --> 01:50:20,013
-Congrats.
-Hell, yeah!

2119
01:50:21,414 --> 01:50:24,017
[girls scream]

2120
01:50:24,084 --> 01:50:28,855
[girls laugh]

2121
01:50:29,990 --> 01:50:31,157
[Damian] Hell, yeah.

2122
01:50:32,459 --> 01:50:33,493
Cheers.

2123
01:50:37,664 --> 01:50:40,100
[Vic] Well, certainly a celebration
for Damian Priest,

2124
01:50:40,166 --> 01:50:42,769
but I don't think
it's gonna be the same sort of celebration

2125
01:50:42,836 --> 01:50:44,604
for the winner of our next matchup.

2126
01:50:44,671 --> 01:50:48,642
Keith Lee, Karrion Kross,
this is what we have been waiting for.

2127
01:50:48,708 --> 01:50:51,911
The showdown for the NXT Championship.

2128
01:50:56,916 --> 01:51:01,488
[announcer] The Great American Bash,
home to the historic clash of champions.

2129
01:51:01,554 --> 01:51:05,625
Keith Lee dedicating the biggest
match of his career to his trainer,

2130
01:51:05,692 --> 01:51:07,761
Killer Tim Brooks
who passed away last week.

2131
01:51:09,663 --> 01:51:11,698
[dramatic music plays]

2132
01:51:12,599 --> 01:51:15,135
[announcer] Powerbomb by Keith Lee.

2133
01:51:15,201 --> 01:51:17,704
This could be it. One digit.

2134
01:51:17,771 --> 01:51:20,774
And Cole now looking
for the Panama-- He got it, he got it.

2135
01:51:20,840 --> 01:51:24,044
This has to be it.
History in the Great American--

2136
01:51:24,110 --> 01:51:26,246
How the hell did he kick out of that?

2137
01:51:27,814 --> 01:51:29,482
Adam Cole is dead weight.

2138
01:51:29,549 --> 01:51:31,584
Keith Lee can feel it.

2139
01:51:31,651 --> 01:51:33,586
Keith Lee can taste it.

2140
01:51:34,154 --> 01:51:39,392
Keith Lee with the Big Bang Catastrophe.

on pinfall or submission inside the ring.

2281
02:01:10,396 --> 02:01:13,466
And Kross, though,
with that unbridled intensity.

2282
02:01:14,867 --> 02:01:16,535
Oh, and another forearm.

2283
02:01:18,671 --> 02:01:20,539
And now Kross-- Oh!

2284
02:01:20,606 --> 02:01:22,608

2285

[Vic] And Kross tasting that plexiglass

2287
02:01:30,016 --> 02:01:33,452
and now Keith Lee was
looking to deliver a haymaker.

2288
02:01:33,519 --> 02:01:36,722
[Corey] The hammer fist
just busted the plexiglass.

2289
02:01:38,124 --> 02:01:40,192
It almost like it excited Kross.

2290
02:01:40,259 --> 02:01:43,629
[Vic] Yeah, this is the type of fight
that these two superstars

2291

are relishing in right now.

2292
02:01:45,364 --> 02:01:47,366
[Beth] They're decimating the NXT Arena.

2293
02:01:48,067 --> 02:01:51,604
[Vic] Well, what about the arm?
I think the left arm of Keith Lee

2294
02:01:51,671 --> 02:01:54,774
was caught between
the plexiglass and the guardrail.

2295
02:01:55,174 --> 02:01:56,609
[referee] Let's go, inside.

2296
02:01:56,676 --> 02:01:58,077
[Vic] Kross realizing it now.

2297
02:01:58,144 --> 02:02:00,946
[Corey] There's a sly smile
on the face of the challenger,

2298
02:02:01,013 --> 02:02:03,616
realizing that his prey is wounded.

2299
02:02:03,683 --> 02:02:08,120
[Vic] And Karrion Kross has put
a bull's eye on the body of Keith Lee.

2300
02:02:09,488 --> 02:02:12,525
[Beth] You see
the calculated precise attack

2301
02:02:13,459 --> 02:02:15,561
each and every strike to the joint.

2302
02:02:15,995 --> 02:02:20,032
But look how difficult it is
to pull that massive arm of Keith Lee

2303
02:02:20,099 --> 02:02:21,967
back into a submission.

02:02:28,240 --> 02:02:33,312
but to Beth's point, Corey, Keith Lee
still has a lot of strength in his body.

2307
02:02:33,379 --> 02:02:37,183
How much damage could've been
done as now Keith Lee going to the ear,

2308
02:02:37,249 --> 02:02:38,818
trying anything he can to break free.

2309
02:02:38,884 --> 02:02:41,620
[Corey] Listen, Keith Lee's got
plenty of strength left in his body

2310
02:02:41,687 --> 02:02:45,024
but Karrion Kross' intent
on draining Lee of any strength,

2311
02:02:45,091 --> 02:02:47,426
any power, any will.

2312
02:02:47,493 --> 02:02:50,162
Karrion kross wants to be NXT Champion.

2313
02:02:50,229 --> 02:02:53,699
[Beth] If there's one thing that's
limitless about Keith Lee, it's his will.

2314
02:02:55,234 --> 02:02:57,570
[Corey] Keith Lee
in an agonizing position right now,

2315
02:02:57,636 --> 02:02:59,238
having his elbow hyperextended.

2316
02:03:00,639 --> 02:03:02,708
[Vic] But look at
the strength of Keith Lee.

2317
02:03:02,775 --> 02:03:05,611
Lee has broken the grip of Karrion Kross.

2318
02:03:07,012 --> 02:03:10,416
Lee trying to get back to his feet
but Kross continuing to try

2319
02:03:10,483 --> 02:03:14,120
to hyperextend
the left elbow of the champion.

2320
02:03:14,186 --> 02:03:17,556
[Beth] Lee is hurting, doing everything
he can to create some space.

2321
02:03:17,623 --> 02:03:20,559
[they groan]

2322
02:03:20,626 --> 02:03:21,460
[Vic] It's-- Oh.

2323
02:03:23,362 --> 02:03:26,398
But again, Lee favoring
that left arm and now Karrion Kross

2324
02:03:26,465 --> 02:03:27,833
just ripping Lee to the mat.

2325
02:03:27,900 --> 02:03:32,405
And Corey, how many men
have been able to yank Keith Lee

2326
02:03:32,471 --> 02:03:34,073
to the mat that quickly?

2327
02:03:34,140 --> 02:03:35,641
[Corey] Cover here by Kross.

2328
02:03:35,708 --> 02:03:37,009
[Vic] Championship on the line.

2329
02:03:37,076 --> 02:03:39,445
[Corey] I don't know that
I can give you an answer, Vic.

2330
02:03:39,512 --> 02:03:41,747
But look at the eyes of Karrion Kross,

2331
02:03:41,814 --> 02:03:45,518
a look of almost shock that
Keith Lee kicked out so quickly.

2332
02:03:45,584 --> 02:03:49,622
[Vic] Kross quickly having his face
go from shock back to determination.

2333
02:03:49,688 --> 02:03:53,592
And now Kross relentless on top
of the champion and this, Beth,

2334
02:03:53,659 --> 02:03:57,296
is the pace that Karrion Kross likes,
slow and methodical.

2335
02:03:57,363 --> 02:04:00,366
[Beth] This is definitely where
Kross is at his most dangerous,

2336
02:04:00,433 --> 02:04:03,803
like, imagine
what Kross endured earlier in this match

2337
02:04:03,869 --> 02:04:07,540
and now is still able
to lay on the heat, Vic.

2338
02:04:07,606 --> 02:04:10,910
[woman] No one care for you!
No one care for you! No one!

2339
02:04:10,976 --> 02:04:13,679
[Vic] And can't forget Keith Lee
who went to the outside,

2340
02:04:13,746 --> 02:04:16,449
maybe a little overzealous
in following Kross

2341
02:04:16,515 --> 02:04:20,319
got his arm caught in that guardrail
but now the strength on display.

2342
02:04:20,386 --> 02:04:22,021
Kross slipping down the back,

2343
02:04:22,087 --> 02:04:24,056
going right back to work on a submission

2344
02:04:24,123 --> 02:04:27,893
and Keith Lee right into
the turnbuckle left shoulder first.

2345
02:04:27,960 --> 02:04:30,729
[Corey] And notice that Karrion Kross
is attacking different points

2346
02:04:30,796 --> 02:04:31,964
of Keith Lee's left arm.

2347
02:04:32,031 --> 02:04:34,133
He's hit the shoulder,
he's attacked the elbow,

2348
02:04:34,200 --> 02:04:35,401
he's worked on the wrist.

2349
02:04:36,135 --> 02:04:39,538
Karrion Kross wants to
completely incapacitate the champion.

2350
02:04:39,605 --> 02:04:41,807
-[referee] Talk to me. We can stop it.
-[Vic] The second time.

2351
02:04:41,874 --> 02:04:43,742
Talk to me. No? Okay.

2352
02:04:43,809 --> 02:04:44,810
[Beth] Keith Lee--

2353
02:04:44,877 --> 02:04:46,912
[Vic] And I don't think
there's any quit in Keith Lee

2354
02:04:46,979 --> 02:04:48,581
who swung again with a haymaker,

2355
02:04:48,647 --> 02:04:51,317
couldn't connect
but now into the steel post.

2356
02:04:51,383 --> 02:04:52,885
[Keith groans]

2357
02:04:52,952 --> 02:04:55,020
[Beth] The entire locker room,
the NXT universe

2358
02:04:55,087 --> 02:04:57,623
has such great respect for Keith Lee.

2359
02:04:57,690 --> 02:04:58,757
He's a leader.

2360
02:04:58,824 --> 02:05:01,527
[Vic] Cover by kross.
Championship on the line.

2361
02:05:01,594 --> 02:05:03,395
And Lee powering out at two.

2362
02:05:04,330 --> 02:05:07,566
[Corey] I'm gonna make an exception
to your point-- Cover here.

2363
02:05:07,633 --> 02:05:11,370
[Vic] Oh, another cover, and again,
Lee able to kick out at one.

2364
02:05:11,437 --> 02:05:13,672
[Corey] This isn't about respect
if you're Karrion Kross.

2365
02:05:13,739 --> 02:05:18,544
Karrion kross cares only about himself,
Scarlett, and the NXT championship.

2366
02:05:18,611 --> 02:05:20,613
[Vic] Shoulder down again
for just a moment.

2367
02:05:21,513 --> 02:05:25,050
And look at the body positioning
right now, Graves, of Karrion Kross.

2368
02:05:25,117 --> 02:05:28,020
[Corey] Kross maintaining control
of Keith Lee's arm,

2369
02:05:28,821 --> 02:05:31,390
using his own body weight
to keep the champion pinned

2370
02:05:31,457 --> 02:05:32,892
and inflict more damage.

2371
02:05:32,958 --> 02:05:35,995
[Beth] And now Keith Lee finding himself
in the same deep waters

2372
02:05:36,061 --> 02:05:39,965
that his friend Dominik Dijakovic
found himself in.

2373
02:05:40,032 --> 02:05:42,234
Karrion Kross imposing his will.

2374
02:05:42,301 --> 02:05:44,737
[crowd chatter]

2375
02:05:44,803 --> 02:05:47,773
[Vic] And Kross, just the intensity
oozing through his eyes

2376
02:05:47,840 --> 02:05:51,544
and just wrenching now
on the left elbow of Keith Lee.

2377
02:05:52,611 --> 02:05:56,181
Lee has been immobilized
in this championship matchup.

2378
02:05:56,248 --> 02:06:00,185
[Beth] And kross intensifying the pain
by grabbing those fingers as well.

2379
02:06:00,252 --> 02:06:04,423
[crowd chatter]

2380
02:06:04,490 --> 02:06:06,058
[Vic] Scarlett looking on.

2381
02:06:06,125 --> 02:06:08,928
Could the sands of time
be running out on Keith Lee?

2382
02:06:08,994 --> 02:06:11,430
[crowd] Keith Lee! Keith Lee!

2383
02:06:11,497 --> 02:06:17,770
Keith Lee trying to feed off the energy
here of those in the NXT universe

2384
02:06:17,836 --> 02:06:21,540
but it's Karrion Kross
continuing to try to hold on.

2385
02:06:21,607 --> 02:06:24,276
But look at Keith Lee.
Lee trying to get to his feet

2386
02:06:24,343 --> 02:06:28,781
and one clubbing elbow
from Karrion Kross stops the champion.

2387
02:06:28,847 --> 02:06:31,483
[Corey] Nearly turned
Keith Lee's lights clean out.

2388
02:06:31,784 --> 02:06:34,553
Keith looks like
he's been through hell at this point.

2389
02:06:34,620 --> 02:06:35,721
[Vic] Oh.

2390
02:06:35,788 --> 02:06:38,223
[Beth] That's a good way
to separate a shoulder.

2391
02:06:39,091 --> 02:06:42,227
[Corey] It won't just separate a shoulder.
That'll divorce it, Beth.

2392
02:06:42,294 --> 02:06:44,763
[crowd cheering]

2393
02:06:44,830 --> 02:06:48,701
[Vic] And now again,
Kross right back onto Keith Lee

2394
02:06:49,234 --> 02:06:54,373
and continuing to maintain focus
as you mentioned, Corey, different parts,

2395
02:06:54,440 --> 02:06:58,310
the elbow, the shoulder,
even trying to manipulate the hand,

2396
02:06:58,377 --> 02:06:59,912
and the joint, and the fingers.

2397
02:07:00,579 --> 02:07:02,748
[Corey] You take away
one of Keith Lee's arms,

2398
02:07:02,815 --> 02:07:06,585
you severely limit the champion's options
as far as offense goes.

2399
02:07:06,652 --> 02:07:08,220
That's not to say it makes it impossible

2400
02:07:08,287 --> 02:07:11,757
but it's gonna make it damn difficult for
the champion to retain with one good arm,

2401
02:07:11,824 --> 02:07:15,995
especially against a competitor
the caliber of Karrion Kross.

2402
02:07:16,061 --> 02:07:18,364
[Beth] I don't know.
An angry Keith Lee with one arm

2403
02:07:18,430 --> 02:07:20,599
is just as dangerous as a man with two.

2404
02:07:20,666 --> 02:07:22,601
[crowd chatter]

2405
02:07:22,668 --> 02:07:25,938
[Vic] But the determination that made
Keith Lee the first ever double champion

2406
02:07:26,005 --> 02:07:28,841
in this brand's history is the same spirit

2407
02:07:28,907 --> 02:07:31,343
that is fighting through Keith Lee now.

2408
02:07:31,410 --> 02:07:34,046
[Beth] Keith Lee one of the most
resilient competitors.

2409
02:07:34,113 --> 02:07:36,382
[crowd cheering]

2410
02:07:36,448 --> 02:07:37,883
[Vic] Lee trying to get to his feet.

2411
02:07:37,950 --> 02:07:40,953
The champion trying to
make his way back up,

2412
02:07:41,020 --> 02:07:44,056
just shrugging off Kross for a moment.

2413
02:07:44,123 --> 02:07:48,293
Oh! With one arm,
Keith Lee trying to fight back.

2414
02:07:48,961 --> 02:07:52,064
But Corey, how much behind
Keith Lee's right hand's at this point?

2415
02:07:52,131 --> 02:07:54,166
[Corey] It doesn't look like
there's much at all.

2416
02:07:54,967 --> 02:07:59,271
But that said, a half effective
Keith Lee punch is-- Whoa,

2417
02:07:59,338 --> 02:08:01,940
tougher than most.
But look at this, a beautiful takedown

2418
02:08:02,007 --> 02:08:03,142
and looking for the armbar.

2419
02:08:03,208 --> 02:08:05,944
[Vic] Has the armbar locked in.
Kross again looking for a submission.

2420
02:08:06,011 --> 02:08:09,815
Karrion Kross is focused on the left arm
of Keith Lee throughout this matchup.

2421
02:08:09,882 --> 02:08:13,118
Could Kross be focusing
on getting this submission,

2422
02:08:13,185 --> 02:08:15,854
trying to break the grip of Keith Lee.

2423
02:08:15,921 --> 02:08:16,955
Give it to me, Keith!

2424
02:08:17,022 --> 02:08:20,292
[Vic] Lee is holding on
with everything he's got left.

2425
02:08:20,759 --> 02:08:21,927
[Beth] If Kross--

2426
02:08:21,994 --> 02:08:25,264
[Vic] Keith Lee-- Keith Lee cannot
let his hands break, Beth.

2427
02:08:25,330 --> 02:08:26,732
Keith Lee has got to hold on.

2428
02:08:26,799 --> 02:08:30,302
[Beth] If Kross can get an extension
on that elbow, this could be over.

2429
02:08:30,369 --> 02:08:32,438
[they groan]

2430
02:08:32,504 --> 02:08:34,640
[Corey] Keith Lee the champion
hanging on for dear life,

2431
02:08:34,706 --> 02:08:35,774
has his fingers locked,

2432
02:08:35,841 --> 02:08:37,609
got to be careful
not to count himself out,

2433
02:08:37,676 --> 02:08:39,411
having his shoulders
pinned down to the mat.

2434
02:08:40,279 --> 02:08:45,217
Karrion kross adjusting
his body position for maximum leverage.

2435
02:08:45,284 --> 02:08:48,654
[Vic] Kross continuing to try to leverage
and now look at the right foot,

2436
02:08:48,721 --> 02:08:50,255
trying to break the grip.

2437
02:08:50,322 --> 02:08:51,457
The hand is breaking.

2438
02:08:51,523 --> 02:08:52,424
One, two…

2439
02:08:52,491 --> 02:08:55,527
[Vic] Lee rolling over, shoulders down
of Kross and Kross had to relinquish

2440
02:08:55,594 --> 02:08:59,298
the hold for a moment
but quickly able to grab back on.

2441
02:08:59,364 --> 02:09:00,466
Almost has a triangle.

2442
02:09:00,532 --> 02:09:03,235
[Corey] It's great jiu jitsu
by Karrion Kross who also needs to be

2443
02:09:03,302 --> 02:09:05,037
mindful of his own shoulders.

2444
02:09:05,104 --> 02:09:08,173
He could be looking to transition
into a triangle while the armbar--

2445
02:09:08,240 --> 02:09:09,508
[Vic] There's no way.

2446
02:09:09,575 --> 02:09:11,343
Corey and Beth, there's no way.

2447
02:09:12,745 --> 02:09:14,012
Keith Lee--

2448
02:09:14,079 --> 02:09:15,214
[all of them] Whoa!

2449
02:09:16,014 --> 02:09:19,852
[Vic] Just lifting up 250 plus pounds.

2450
02:09:19,918 --> 02:09:22,788
[crowd cheering]

2451
02:09:22,855 --> 02:09:25,524
[Corey] The champion bought himself
some valuable time.

2452
02:09:26,258 --> 02:09:28,594
But can Lee turn the tides?

2453
02:09:30,028 --> 02:09:35,834
[Beth] Let's take a look at this display
of superhero strength from Keith Lee.

2454
02:09:36,568 --> 02:09:38,003
[Vic] Boom.

2455
02:09:38,070 --> 02:09:44,276
[crowd] Keith Lee! Keith Lee! Keith Lee!

2456
02:09:45,777 --> 02:09:51,016
[Vic] And now Keith Lee
having to find the will at this point

2457
02:09:52,618 --> 02:09:53,819
with one arm.

2458
02:09:54,219 --> 02:09:56,522
Keith Lee looking over at Karrion Kross.

2459
02:09:56,588 --> 02:10:00,826
The NXT champion
rising to his feet and here comes Lee.

2460
02:10:00,893 --> 02:10:02,094
[they groan]

2461
02:10:02,161 --> 02:10:03,896
[Vic] First right hand staggered Kross.

2462
02:10:03,962 --> 02:10:05,564
Second one rocked the challenger.

2463
02:10:06,765 --> 02:10:08,767
And now-- Oh, a left forearm and--

2464
02:10:09,368 --> 02:10:10,335
[Corey] Rocked kross.

2465
02:10:11,370 --> 02:10:13,105
Karrion Kross on spaghetti legs.

2466
02:10:13,172 --> 02:10:15,574
Keith Lee trying to summon
some sort of power inside.

2467
02:10:15,641 --> 02:10:16,542
[Vic] Another left.

2468
02:10:17,709 --> 02:10:19,711
Keith Lee could be
looking for the knockout blow.

2469
02:10:19,778 --> 02:10:21,480
Kross is rocked.

2470
02:10:21,547 --> 02:10:24,750
[crowd cheering]

2471
02:10:24,817 --> 02:10:26,351
[Beth] Lee smells victory.

2472
02:10:27,119 --> 02:10:31,089
[Vic] Lee with just one arm, charging in,
rocking the challenger once again.

2473
02:10:32,624 --> 02:10:35,527
And a second time Lee follows up.

2474
02:10:35,594 --> 02:10:39,031
[crowd chatter]

2475
02:10:39,097 --> 02:10:44,136
[Vic] Lee ducking the clothesline.
Coming back, what goes up must come down.

2476
02:10:44,203 --> 02:10:47,873
[crowd cheering]

2477
02:10:47,940 --> 02:10:50,542
[Vic] Lee falls into the cover to retain

2478
02:10:50,609 --> 02:10:53,979
and Kross able to kick out
at two and a half.

2479
02:10:54,479 --> 02:10:58,951
And you see the sense of almost
being overwhelmed by Scarlett

2480
02:10:59,017 --> 02:11:05,958
but here we go, boom, that big Powerslam
almost retained the title for Keith Lee.

2481
02:11:06,925 --> 02:11:11,430
[Corey] We have seen Karrion Kross
absorb almost inhuman amounts

2482
02:11:11,496 --> 02:11:12,865
of punishment in the past.

2483
02:11:12,931 --> 02:11:14,333
Keith Lee is aware.

2484
02:11:14,399 --> 02:11:17,569
Keith Lee knows this is gonna
have to go to the next level

2485
02:11:18,136 --> 02:11:19,571
to knock off Karrion Kross.

2486
02:11:20,973 --> 02:11:23,208
But does Keith Lee have the ability?

2487
02:11:23,275 --> 02:11:24,943
Does Keith have enough left in the tank?

2488
02:11:25,010 --> 02:11:25,911
[Vic] Oh.

2489
02:11:26,311 --> 02:11:27,879
What a forearm by the challenger.

2490
02:11:28,213 --> 02:11:31,250
And now Kross, oh,
just getting out of the way of Lee.

2491
02:11:32,050 --> 02:11:35,821
Keith Lee, though, you talked about
continuing to absorb punishment, Graves.

2492
02:11:35,888 --> 02:11:38,590
Keith Lee showing
he can absorb some as well.

2493
02:11:38,657 --> 02:11:41,293
And now, oh, looking for that Doomsday--

2494
02:11:41,360 --> 02:11:42,427
[Beth] Pump the brakes.

2495
02:11:43,929 --> 02:11:46,565
[Vic] Oh. Block kick connected.

2496
02:11:47,299 --> 02:11:48,967
Another kick connects.

2497
02:11:49,034 --> 02:11:51,470
-[Corey] Karrion Kross is lethal.
-[Vic] DDT.

2498
02:11:52,905 --> 02:11:55,874
-Shoots the half.
-[Corey] That might be it. Lee's out.

2499
02:11:55,941 --> 02:12:00,212
[Vic] Into the cover, title on the line,
Lee able to kick out again at two.

2500
02:12:00,279 --> 02:12:02,347
The champion still with fight.

2501
02:12:02,414 --> 02:12:07,719
[Beth] And Scarlett furious and frustrated
that Keith Lee continues to kick out.

2502
02:12:07,786 --> 02:12:14,026
[crowd cheering]

2503
02:12:16,161 --> 02:12:18,497
[Vic] The intensity
in the eyes of the challenger

2504
02:12:18,563 --> 02:12:20,866
now focusing in on Keith Lee.

2505
02:12:23,235 --> 02:12:25,871
Kross could be closing in
on the championship.

2506
02:12:26,171 --> 02:12:27,172
And again,

2507
02:12:28,807 --> 02:12:30,942
Karrion Kross-- Oh!

2508
02:12:31,009 --> 02:12:36,415
and once more, Keith Lee sensing
that Doomsday Saito Suplex.

2509
02:12:36,481 --> 02:12:39,584
Does Kross have enough to hoist up Lee?

2510
02:12:39,651 --> 02:12:42,688
[Corey] I wonder how much is behind
the left elbows from Keith Lee

2511
02:12:42,754 --> 02:12:44,923
after the damage inflicted
by Kross but the elbow--

2512
02:12:44,990 --> 02:12:47,793
Oh, I'm sorry, the headbutt
right to the jaw of the challenger.

2513
02:12:47,859 --> 02:12:50,028
[Vic] Certainly was enough
behind that headbutt.

2514
02:12:50,095 --> 02:12:55,367
And now Keith Lee,
does he have enough to hoist up Kross?

2515
02:12:55,434 --> 02:12:56,668
Suplex!

2516
02:12:56,735 --> 02:12:59,438
[crowd cheering]

2517
02:12:59,504 --> 02:13:01,573
[Beth] But can Lee follow it up?

2518
02:13:01,640 --> 02:13:03,308
[crowd cheering]

2519
02:13:03,375 --> 02:13:07,980
[Vic] Champion into the cover
and a kick-out by Kross.

2520
02:13:08,046 --> 02:13:12,985
[crowd chatter]

2521
02:13:13,051 --> 02:13:16,822
[Corey] Look at this power this late
in the game after everything

2522
02:13:16,888 --> 02:13:21,126
that he has endured,
Keith Lee may truly be limitless,

2523
02:13:21,193 --> 02:13:25,797
trying to find a way to fight back
into this NXT championship match.

2524
02:13:26,131 --> 02:13:30,335
[Beth] Imagine all of the emotions
running through the veins of Keith Lee,

2525
02:13:30,402 --> 02:13:33,772
everything Karrion Kross
has done to him coming up to this moment.

2526
02:13:35,173 --> 02:13:37,676
[Corey] And that's the advantage
that Karrion Kross possesses.

2527
02:13:37,743 --> 02:13:42,047
This isn't about emotion.
Kross is cold. Kross is emotionless.

2528
02:13:42,114 --> 02:13:44,750
Kross is calculated. He's an assassin.

2529
02:13:46,284 --> 02:13:48,253
Keith Lee is gonna have to overcome.

2530
02:13:48,954 --> 02:13:51,656
[Vic] And both has been taken out of--
Both has been--

2531
02:13:51,723 --> 02:13:54,659
So much has been taken out
of both these superstars,

2532
02:13:54,726 --> 02:14:00,065
as now Keith Lee
trying to hoist up Karrion Kross

2533
02:14:00,132 --> 02:14:03,135
but that moment hesitation
maybe because of the left arm

2534
02:14:03,201 --> 02:14:05,704
-opens the door and Karrion Kross.
-[Corey] Wow.

2535
02:14:06,238 --> 02:14:09,408
[Vic] Just took Lee off his feet.
Into the cover.

2536
02:14:09,474 --> 02:14:10,642
Do we have a new champion?

2537
02:14:10,709 --> 02:14:15,213
And again, Lee's inside shoulder
just gets off the mat.

2538
02:14:15,280 --> 02:14:16,648
[Beth] Wow.

2539
02:14:16,715 --> 02:14:17,916
Take a look at that.

2540
02:14:19,317 --> 02:14:21,820
[Corey] Let's take another look at that.
Yes, please.

2541
02:14:22,788 --> 02:14:25,490
Full speed ahead, extra momentum.

2542
02:14:25,557 --> 02:14:26,458
[Vic] Boom!

2543
02:14:27,292 --> 02:14:30,295
[Corey] And a thunderous Lariat
puts the champion down.

2544
02:14:30,362 --> 02:14:36,201
Keith Lee looks to me like he realizes
his days as NXT champion are over.

2545
02:14:36,268 --> 02:14:38,403
Keith Lee is in the eleventh hour.

2546
02:14:38,470 --> 02:14:42,274
His championship reign
is on the precipice of being doomed.

2547
02:14:42,340 --> 02:14:45,110
[Beth] Graves, you are wrong
to count Keith Lee out.

2548
02:14:46,678 --> 02:14:50,115
[Vic] Keith Lee trying to fight back
with whatever he may have left

2549
02:14:50,182 --> 02:14:53,919
but Karrion Kross,
to Graves' point, keeps on coming,

2550
02:14:53,985 --> 02:14:57,656
keeps on moving forward
as Lee answers back with a left forearm.

2551
02:14:57,722 --> 02:14:59,224
[Corey] Just look at the body language.

2552
02:14:59,291 --> 02:15:00,926
Lee looks like
he's been fighting for two hours.

2553
02:15:00,992 --> 02:15:02,994
Karrion kross still looks fresh.

2554
02:15:03,061 --> 02:15:06,364
[Beth] Keith Lee will dig deep
and find that resolve.

2555
02:15:06,431 --> 02:15:08,967
He always does.
There isn't a mountain he can't climb.

2556
02:15:10,202 --> 02:15:14,706
[Vic] Kross swing and a miss and now Kross
over and over again with his forearms.

2557
02:15:14,773 --> 02:15:16,475
The champion down to a knee.

2558
02:15:17,476 --> 02:15:20,779
Kross wearing out Keith Lee
but wait a minute,

2559
02:15:20,846 --> 02:15:22,914
Lee just took out Karrion Kross.

2560
02:15:23,915 --> 02:15:28,353
[Corey] I don't know where Keith Lee
got it from or if it was enough.

2561
02:15:29,921 --> 02:15:34,659
[Vic] The second and third wind
for Keith Lee in this matchup,

2562
02:15:34,726 --> 02:15:36,495
both superstars are down.

2563
02:15:36,561 --> 02:15:40,198
Pivotal point here
in this NXT championship matchup.

2564
02:15:40,432 --> 02:15:45,270
[Corey] Look at this. It was desperate
but it certainly was effective.

2565
02:15:45,904 --> 02:15:50,475
Keith Lee nearly decapitating
the challenger with a Lariat

2566
02:15:50,542 --> 02:15:52,811
but it's still not enough.

2567
02:15:52,878 --> 02:15:56,014
[Vic] Keith Lee hasn't moved
since he connected with the Clothesline.

2568
02:15:56,815 --> 02:15:59,551
[Beth] Scarlett just clawing at the mat,

2569
02:15:59,618 --> 02:16:01,920
screaming at Karrion Kross to rise.

2570
02:16:01,987 --> 02:16:05,156
[crowd cheering]

2571
02:16:05,223 --> 02:16:07,826
[Vic] Both superstars
getting back to their feet.

2572
02:16:07,893 --> 02:16:12,097
[crowd cheering]

2573
02:16:12,164 --> 02:16:14,733
[Beth] These two titans
have been through a war.

2574
02:16:16,635 --> 02:16:19,838
[Vic] And now Kross charging in.
Lee able to sidestep the kick.

2575
02:16:19,905 --> 02:16:23,375
Lee answers with a forearm
and Kross answers back.

2576
02:16:24,042 --> 02:16:28,446
[Corey] The striking ability
of Karrion Kross is next level.

2577
02:16:29,948 --> 02:16:35,120
[Vic] Whoa. And now--
There's that Doomsday Saito Suplex.

2578
02:16:36,188 --> 02:16:39,457
Is that gonna be enough
to put Keith Lee away?

2579
02:16:39,925 --> 02:16:41,593
Oh, man!

2580
02:16:43,562 --> 02:16:49,334
[Corey] Keith Lee
barely surviving the Saito Suplex

2581
02:16:49,401 --> 02:16:52,070
of the challenger Karrion Kross.

2582
02:16:52,137 --> 02:16:56,675
[crowd cheering]

2583
02:16:56,741 --> 02:17:00,178
[Corey] Let's take another look at
this unholy display of power

2584
02:17:00,245 --> 02:17:05,183
from the challenger, dumping Keith Lee
across his neck and shoulders.

2585
02:17:05,250 --> 02:17:08,219
[Beth] The Suplexorcist
doing what he does best.

2586
02:17:10,288 --> 02:17:14,326
[Vic] And now Karrion Kross
could be sensing his moment,

2587
02:17:15,260 --> 02:17:18,029
could be sensing that Keith Lee,

2588
02:17:18,463 --> 02:17:22,934
center of the ring,
and now looking for the Kross Jacket.

2589
02:17:23,001 --> 02:17:26,371
The Kross Jacket Submission
which has put out everyone

2590
02:17:26,438 --> 02:17:30,041
including Keith Lee's
best friend Dominik Dijakovic.

2591
02:17:30,508 --> 02:17:32,377
[Corey] But is Kross able to cinch it in?

2592
02:17:32,444 --> 02:17:35,046
Keith Lee has got a thicker neck
than most human beings.

2593
02:17:35,714 --> 02:17:37,849
Kross struggling to get the full pressure.

2594
02:17:37,916 --> 02:17:40,085
[Vic] Lee seems to be
fading though, Corey.

2595
02:17:40,151 --> 02:17:42,621
-Beth, Lee seems to be fading.
-[Beth] He's got to move.

2596
02:17:43,722 --> 02:17:48,159
[Vic] Karrion Kross could be squeezing
the championship away from Keith Lee.

2597
02:17:48,226 --> 02:17:51,196
[Corey] And a sinister grin on
the face of the challenger as he feels--

2598
02:17:52,063 --> 02:17:54,799
The breath being squeezed
from the champion's body.

2599
02:17:54,866 --> 02:17:56,401
[Vic] Lee might be out.

2600
02:17:56,468 --> 02:17:58,770
Keith Lee might be out
in the center of the ring.

2601
02:18:00,105 --> 02:18:03,441
-Referee checking on the champion.
-[Beth] Lee's-- Oh.

2602
02:18:03,508 --> 02:18:07,078
[crowd cheering]

2603
02:18:07,145 --> 02:18:10,348
[Vic] Kross realizing
there's fight left in Keith Lee.

2604
02:18:10,415 --> 02:18:13,418
[Corey] A look of disbelief
on the face of Karrion Kross.

2605
02:18:13,485 --> 02:18:17,355
Keith Lee trying to find a way,
trying to stay in this,

2606
02:18:17,422 --> 02:18:19,090
trying to keep his dream alive.

2607
02:18:19,157 --> 02:18:20,892
[Vic] Look in the eyes now of Keith Lee

2608
02:18:20,959 --> 02:18:25,030
as Kross has really now
cinched in that Kross Jacket.

2609
02:18:25,664 --> 02:18:29,067
[Corey] This might just be
an exercise in futility for Keith Lee.

2610
02:18:29,134 --> 02:18:30,402
[Beth] Lee trying to drag.

2611
02:18:30,468 --> 02:18:32,203
[Corey] The lights are on
but no one's home.

2612
02:18:32,270 --> 02:18:34,572
[Vic] So close to
that bottom rope and made it.

2613
02:18:35,340 --> 02:18:38,777
And maybe for a moment, just a moment,

2614
02:18:39,377 --> 02:18:42,414
Keith Lee has extended
his championship reign.

2615
02:18:43,281 --> 02:18:46,951
[Corey] I'm calling it now. Keith Lee is
simply delaying the inevitable.

2616
02:18:47,886 --> 02:18:51,589
Karrion Kross has been
an absolute Terminator tonight.

2617
02:18:51,656 --> 02:18:54,726
And Keith Lee
looks like he's out of his depth.

2618
02:18:55,060 --> 02:18:58,229
[Vic] And there is no quit in Keith Lee.

2619
02:18:58,296 --> 02:18:59,731
[Corey] Maybe there should be.

2620
02:19:00,365 --> 02:19:04,035
[Beth] Let's hope Karrion Kross
is not taking Lee lightly in this moment.

2621
02:19:05,203 --> 02:19:06,371
[Vic] Time and time again,

2622
02:19:06,438 --> 02:19:09,207
it's been Keith Lee
that has shown the heart of a champion,

2623
02:19:09,274 --> 02:19:10,875
has shown the grit of true leader.

2624
02:19:10,942 --> 02:19:14,079
And now Keith Lee
trying everything he's got left.

2625
02:19:14,145 --> 02:19:17,716
[crowd cheering]

2626
02:19:17,782 --> 02:19:19,684
[Vic] Lee might not realize where he's at

2627
02:19:20,318 --> 02:19:23,288
but the champion
has enough left in the tank possibly

2628
02:19:23,355 --> 02:19:25,457
-to put down Karrion Kross.
-[Beth] Uh-oh.

2629
02:19:26,391 --> 02:19:28,393
[Vic] Looking for that Spirit Bomb.

2630
02:19:28,727 --> 02:19:33,131
Keith Lee trying to connect
center of the ring to retain the title.

2631
02:19:34,699 --> 02:19:38,436
Whoa. Kross just rolling free.

2632
02:19:40,405 --> 02:19:45,677
Relief over the face of Scarlett,
pain over the face of Karrion Kross.

2633
02:19:45,744 --> 02:19:50,515
And determination starting to
be etched on the face of Keith Lee.

2634
02:19:50,582 --> 02:19:56,087
[crowd cheering]

2635
02:19:56,154 --> 02:19:58,323
[Vic] Dragging over the challenger.

2636
02:19:59,624 --> 02:20:01,826
I mean, Corey, is this wise?

2637
02:20:01,893 --> 02:20:06,631
[Corey] There is no way in hell Keith Lee
has enough left in the tank

2638
02:20:06,698 --> 02:20:08,466
to deliver whatever he's intending.

2639
02:20:08,533 --> 02:20:10,335
[Vic] Lee going to the top rope. Kross--

2640
02:20:10,402 --> 02:20:12,837
[Corey] Grabbing the ankle
of the champion, preventing Keith Lee

2641
02:20:12,904 --> 02:20:14,105
for whatever he's looking for.

2642
02:20:14,172 --> 02:20:15,607
[Vic] Cut him off at the pass.

2643
02:20:16,441 --> 02:20:21,346
But here-- Oh, again, Kross
to the left elbow goes the challenger.

2644
02:20:21,946 --> 02:20:24,182
Lee trying anything he can
to create separation.

2645
02:20:24,249 --> 02:20:27,852
[Beth] Corey, there's a reason
why they call Keith Lee the Moment Maker.

2646
02:20:27,919 --> 02:20:31,256
[they groan]

2647
02:20:31,322 --> 02:20:33,792
[Corey] Keith Lee better figure out
how to make himself a moment

2648
02:20:33,858 --> 02:20:38,096
in short order
because this is a dangerous situation

2649
02:20:38,163 --> 02:20:40,799
for these two bulls
to be perched upon the ropes.

2650
02:20:40,865 --> 02:20:44,803
[Vic] These two superstars have been
throwing haymakers since the opening bell.

2651
02:20:46,304 --> 02:20:50,341
Kross, the challenger, Keith Lee,
the champion all the way to the top--

2652
02:20:50,408 --> 02:20:51,943
-Oh, wait a minute.
-[Beth] Oh, no.

2653
02:20:52,010 --> 02:20:53,077
[Vic] Wait a minute.

2654
02:20:53,578 --> 02:20:56,448
-Again! That's got to be it.
-[Corey] That is it.

2655
02:20:56,514 --> 02:20:59,717
Into the cover goes Kross.
Do we have a new champion?

2656
02:20:59,784 --> 02:21:01,453
-Oh.
-[bell rings]

2657
02:21:02,754 --> 02:21:04,289
[Vic] Karrion Kross.

2658
02:21:04,355 --> 02:21:09,260
[announcer] Here is your winner
and new NXT champion,

2659
02:21:09,327 --> 02:21:11,863
Karrion Kross!

2660
02:21:11,930 --> 02:21:15,800
[Vic] Karrion Kross
has ended the reign of Keith Lee.

["Dead Silent" plays]

2662
02:21:17,769 --> 02:21:22,874
[Vic] And a stunned silence has come over
everyone here at Full Sail University.

[Vic] Beth, I can't--
I can't believe what we just witnessed

2670
02:21:51,236 --> 02:21:53,805
but let's go back to
some of the moments in this matchup.

2671
02:21:53,872 --> 02:21:57,775
[Beth] Keith Lee dug down deep
so many moments in this matchup,

2672
02:21:57,842 --> 02:22:00,044
operating on pure heart.

2673
02:22:01,246 --> 02:22:03,014
[Corey] Well, heart and heart alone

2674
02:22:03,081 --> 02:22:07,585
was not enough to topple
the threat of Karrion Kross

2675
02:22:07,652 --> 02:22:11,656
who was prepared
for war and delivered tonight.

2676
02:22:12,624 --> 02:22:14,526
[Vic] And take nothing away from Keith Lee

2677
02:22:14,592 --> 02:22:15,927
who continued to fight

2678
02:22:15,994 --> 02:22:21,366
but Karrion Kross would continue
to keep moving forward in this matchup

2679
02:22:21,432 --> 02:22:26,004
using everything in his way
to be able to take out Keith Lee.

2680
02:22:26,070 --> 02:22:28,039
Everything he had in his arsenal,

2681
02:22:28,106 --> 02:22:30,708
even Keith Lee was shocked in this moment,

2682
02:22:30,775 --> 02:22:35,246
hit this huge Spirit Powerbomb
center of the ring which Keith Lee, Corey,

2683
02:22:35,313 --> 02:22:38,516
has put away superstars but not tonight.

2684
02:22:38,583 --> 02:22:42,987
[Corey] So many but not tonight
and this is where it all came to an end.

2685
02:22:43,321 --> 02:22:47,992
The Doomsday Saito Suplex
from the second rope.

Beth, off that Middle Turnbuckle,

2688
02:22:54,532 --> 02:22:57,735
Karrion Kross putting away Keith Lee.

2689
02:22:58,469 --> 02:23:01,506
[Beth] And what a heartbreaking moment
for Keith Lee

2690
02:23:01,573 --> 02:23:04,242
