00:00:32,699 --> 00:00:37,837

on the planet,

00:00:37,904 --> 00:00:42,175
Nita Strauss.

[Vic]
Live inside the Capitol Wrestling Center,

13
00:03:06,519 --> 00:03:08,888
for the biggest event
in the history of NXT,

14
00:03:08,955 --> 00:03:11,291
an event so big, it needed two nights.

15
00:03:11,357 --> 00:03:15,528
Welcome to NXT TakeOver: Stand & Deliver.

[bell rings]

19
00:03:38,585 --> 00:03:41,955
[female announcer] The following contest
is scheduled for one fall.

20
00:03:42,021 --> 00:03:45,058
Introducing first,
from Birmingham, England,

21
00:03:45,124 --> 00:03:51,631
weighing in at 205 pounds,
The Bruiserweight, Pete Dunne.

22
00:03:51,698 --> 00:03:53,766
[Vic] It's Pete Dunne, Beth,

23
00:03:53,833 --> 00:03:57,503
who claims to be
the best technical wrestler in the world.

24
00:03:57,570 --> 00:03:59,806
He challenged anyone to prove him wrong.

25
00:03:59,872 --> 00:04:02,275
[Beth] There's good reason for that.

26
00:04:02,342 --> 00:04:06,379
Pete began training at the tender age
of 12-years old, hunting his dream,

27
00:04:06,446 --> 00:04:09,882
never making provisions
for anything other than success,

28
00:04:09,949 --> 00:04:11,117
believing in his craft.

29
00:04:11,184 --> 00:04:15,555
He's broken a lot of dreams
and bones on the way to the top.

30
00:04:15,622 --> 00:04:18,291
[Vic] What a way to kick off night one

31
00:04:18,358 --> 00:04:20,827
of NXT TakeOver: Stand & Deliver.

32
00:04:20,893 --> 00:04:23,229
[Wade] Let me tell you, that anthem

33
00:04:23,296 --> 00:04:26,799
by Alice Cooper's guitarist, Nita Strauss,
has really set the scene.

34
00:04:26,866 --> 00:04:29,235
What a way to kick this off, you're right.

35
00:04:29,302 --> 00:04:32,839
The Bruiserweight taking on Kushida
in the battle to see

36
00:04:32,905 --> 00:04:36,876
who is the technical mastermind
here in NXT.

His opponent, from Tokyo, Japan,

39
00:04:49,622 --> 00:04:55,028
weighing in at 192 pounds, Kushida.

00:04:55,094 --> 00:04:56,629
[audience cheering]

41
00:04:56,696 --> 00:05:00,533
[Vic] Wade, Kushida,
not going to back down from a challenge.

42
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:02,268
Doesn't matter who it comes from.

43
00:05:02,335 --> 00:05:05,972
[commentator Wade] Yes, we've seen it
time and time again from Kushida.

44
00:05:06,039 --> 00:05:10,209
He is indeed a prideful man.
He loves competition, and it would appear,

45
00:05:10,276 --> 00:05:13,146
he cannot tolerate
loudmouths like Pete Dunne.

46
00:05:13,212 --> 00:05:15,281
He's got a point to prove tonight.

47
00:05:15,348 --> 00:05:17,684
[Vic] It was just last week as well

48
00:05:17,750 --> 00:05:20,987
that Kushida refused
to break the hoverboard lock.

49
00:05:21,054 --> 00:05:23,589
Dunne couldn't break away
in the Battle Royal.

50
00:05:23,656 --> 00:05:26,759
The personal rivalry
now between these two superstars,

51
00:05:26,826 --> 00:05:29,562
it led to both their eliminations
just one week ago.

52
00:05:29,629 --> 00:05:32,298
[Beth]
Think about it, the cold, hard truth

53
00:05:32,365 --> 00:05:35,902
is that Pete Dunne was locked
in that hoverboard lock.

54
00:05:35,968 --> 00:05:38,604
He was stuck and he knew it,
and that's got to be

55
00:05:38,671 --> 00:05:40,940
rolling around in the back of his mind.

56
00:05:41,007 --> 00:05:44,644
Kushida, in my mind,
has the edge in this matchup tonight.

57
00:05:44,711 --> 00:05:47,613
[Vic] A little bit more
than meets the eye in this matchup.

58
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,149
-[Wade] Certainly for Dunne--
-[bell rings]

59
00:05:50,216 --> 00:05:52,218
[Vic] Here we go, right off the bat.

60
00:05:52,285 --> 00:05:55,788
Dunne trying to get the submission.
Kushida, nice job, able to counter.

61
00:05:55,855 --> 00:05:57,790
Now, Kushida, looking for the arm bar.

62
00:05:57,857 --> 00:05:59,125
[audience chanting "Kushida"]

63
00:05:59,192 --> 00:06:02,361
Kushida trying to hold on,
Dunne able to escape for a moment.

64
00:06:03,262 --> 00:06:06,299
[Wade] Here's the fascinating thing
we know about Kushida,

65
00:06:06,366 --> 00:06:08,434
needs a small window of opportunity

66
00:06:08,501 --> 00:06:11,838
to lock in one of them
cross armbreakers, and this one's over.

67
00:06:11,904 --> 00:06:14,040
[Vic] Wade, what separates these two?

68
00:06:14,107 --> 00:06:18,010
[Wade] Well, it's very difficult to even
put a piece of paper between these two

69
00:06:18,077 --> 00:06:22,281
in terms of their technical mastery,
definitely the two best in NXT,

70
00:06:22,348 --> 00:06:24,283
but if I had to separate them,

71
00:06:24,350 --> 00:06:27,787
I'd say Kushida enjoys slapping
on these torturous holds

72
00:06:27,854 --> 00:06:30,757
in order to win a match.
Dunne, on the other hand,

73
00:06:30,823 --> 00:06:33,326
I think winning a match is almost
secondary to him.

74
00:06:33,393 --> 00:06:36,763
I think he enjoys hurting
and torturing people, the pain.

75
00:06:36,829 --> 00:06:40,032
[Vic] Look at the submission
here by Kushida, center of the ring.

76
00:06:40,099 --> 00:06:43,369
Beth, to your point from last week,
nowhere for Pete Dunne to go.

77
00:06:43,436 --> 00:06:46,873
Dunne, right now, is getting
tied up by Kushida.

78
00:06:46,939 --> 00:06:50,109
[Beth] I agree with you,
and I can't believe I'm saying this,

79
00:06:50,176 --> 00:06:52,378
but there's that sadistic edge
to Pete Dunne

80
00:06:52,445 --> 00:06:55,481
that brings something different
to the table than Kushida,

81
00:06:55,548 --> 00:06:57,817
but I think he is 100% prepared for that.

82
00:06:57,884 --> 00:07:00,353
He knows what he's going to get
facing Pete Dunne.

83
00:07:00,419 --> 00:07:04,490
[Vic] Jimmy Smith said Dunne's
manipulation of the joints is the key,

84
00:07:04,557 --> 00:07:07,193
as Kushida, again,
able to counter Dunne early on.

85
00:07:07,260 --> 00:07:09,862
Bruiserweight now trying
to navigate his way free,

86
00:07:09,929 --> 00:07:12,532
and look at the movement by Pete Dunne.

87
00:07:12,598 --> 00:07:16,436
Technical mastery early on
between these two superstars.

88
00:07:16,502 --> 00:07:19,172
Dunne had it scouted, had Kushida scouted,

89
00:07:19,238 --> 00:07:23,643
and now with the fingers,
in the hand, in the digits.

90
00:07:23,709 --> 00:07:27,180
Oh, no, wait a minute. Dunne, x-plex.

91
00:07:33,219 --> 00:07:36,189
You can see Dunne focusing in on Kushida,

92
00:07:36,255 --> 00:07:39,292
and there's nothing really fancy
about Dunne's style.

93
00:07:39,358 --> 00:07:41,260
[Wade] Absolutely, it doesn't have to.

94
00:07:41,327 --> 00:07:43,930
Look at this snap,
small joints like the fingers--

95
00:07:43,996 --> 00:07:46,799
Or indeed, hyperextend that elbow,

96
00:07:46,866 --> 00:07:51,204
or pull that shoulder out of the socket,
it all has the same effect.

97
00:07:51,270 --> 00:07:55,908
[Beth] Take a look at the effortless ease
with which Pete Dunne throws Kushida,

98
00:07:55,975 --> 00:07:58,311
landing hard on the ropes,
and then right here,

99
00:07:58,377 --> 00:08:02,748
oh, that hyperextension,
all the tendons pushed to the Max.

100
00:08:03,783 --> 00:08:06,819
[Vic] You can hear
Kushida writhing in pain.

101
00:08:06,886 --> 00:08:09,522
Dunne looking to lock
in yet another submission,

102
00:08:09,589 --> 00:08:12,425
and again, grabbing
at the left wrist or hand,

103
00:08:12,491 --> 00:08:14,894
and then a vicious stomp by Pete Dunne.

104
00:08:14,961 --> 00:08:17,430
[Wade] It was really nice from Pete Dunne,

105
00:08:17,496 --> 00:08:20,666
because they were going back and forth
with the technical stuff.

106
00:08:20,733 --> 00:08:23,402
Dunne softened him up
with that suplex on the apron,

107
00:08:23,469 --> 00:08:26,506
and now he can just pick apart
Kushida at will.

108
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:29,609
Oh, a kick to the face too
for good measure.

109
00:08:29,675 --> 00:08:31,344
[Vic] Kushida answering back.

110
00:08:31,410 --> 00:08:35,047
Dunne looking for a TakeOver victory
for the fifth straight year,

111
00:08:35,114 --> 00:08:38,551
and this turned in from a technical
masterpiece to a slugfest.

112
00:08:38,618 --> 00:08:42,255
[Beth chuckles] Pete Dunne going hard
on the forearm.

113
00:08:42,321 --> 00:08:44,023
He's favoring that arm now.

114
00:08:44,090 --> 00:08:45,892
[Vic] Look at the hip toss.

115
00:08:45,958 --> 00:08:48,861
Going for the cartwheel.
Dunne had it blocked for a moment.

116
00:08:48,928 --> 00:08:51,163
The quickness, the elusiveness of Kushida.

117
00:08:51,230 --> 00:08:53,533
Dunne rolling to the outside
looking to escape.

118
00:08:53,599 --> 00:08:56,903
[audience chanting "Kushida"]

119
00:08:56,969 --> 00:08:59,772
[Vic] NXT Universe
on their feet for Kushida.

120
00:08:59,839 --> 00:09:01,641
No one there, Dunne--

121
00:09:01,707 --> 00:09:05,678
Oh! And now focusing is Dunne
from the upper body,

122
00:09:05,745 --> 00:09:07,280
now to the lower extremities.

123
00:09:07,346 --> 00:09:10,016
[Wade] Building all the way
out onto our entranceway,

124
00:09:10,082 --> 00:09:14,520
but once again, Kushida, too quick,
replying with that springboard back elbow.

125
00:09:14,587 --> 00:09:18,624
Look at Kushida, using, Beth,
his environment to his advantage.

126
00:09:18,691 --> 00:09:21,160
[Vic] Kushida has ring awareness
inside and out.

127
00:09:21,227 --> 00:09:25,898
[Vic] Oh! What a kick by Kushida,

128
00:09:25,965 --> 00:09:29,402
the momentum carrying both
back into the squared circle.

129
00:09:30,069 --> 00:09:33,839
[audience chanting "Kushida"]

130
00:09:34,674 --> 00:09:37,109
[Vic] Again, you can just
feel the energy--

131
00:09:37,176 --> 00:09:39,812
Dunne though, Dunne trying
to lock in the submission.

132
00:09:39,879 --> 00:09:42,715
[Beth] Like an octopus wrapped
around the body of Kushida.

133
00:09:42,782 --> 00:09:45,318
[Vic] Dunne, again,
with the joint manipulation,

134
00:09:45,384 --> 00:09:48,254
Kushida trying to fight his way out.
Kushida now reverses.

135
00:09:48,321 --> 00:09:50,489
[Wade] Oh, what a reversal lock,

136
00:09:50,556 --> 00:09:55,061
but thankfully, then Dunne managed
to block it with the other arm.

137
00:09:55,127 --> 00:09:57,563
[Vic] Dunne able to counter with a block,

138
00:09:57,630 --> 00:10:01,000
able to figure out Kushida,
who answers back with a kick.

139
00:10:01,067 --> 00:10:05,271
[Beth] The crack of that chop
just lighting up something in Kushida.

140
00:10:06,172 --> 00:10:08,975
[Vic] Kushida again,
springing in, gets caught.

141
00:10:09,041 --> 00:10:12,712
Dunne with the fingers.
Bending the digits. Snapping the fingers.

142
00:10:12,778 --> 00:10:16,515
[Wade] Kushida once again
going for that springboard back elbow.

143
00:10:16,582 --> 00:10:20,152
[Vic] Looking for the bitter end,
counter by Kushida. Kushida instead--

144
00:10:20,219 --> 00:10:22,488
Oh! Cover. Shoulders down.
Center of the ring.

145
00:10:22,555 --> 00:10:24,423
Dunne, able to kick out at two.

146
00:10:24,490 --> 00:10:26,959
Kushida thinking
about what he's got to do next.

147
00:10:31,197 --> 00:10:34,200
[audience clapping]

148
00:10:39,705 --> 00:10:42,708
Kushida in control of Pete Dunne.

149
00:10:42,775 --> 00:10:46,746
What a way to kick things off
NXT TakeOver: Stand & Deliver.

150
00:10:46,812 --> 00:10:48,948
[Wade] Blink and you'll miss it
in this one.

151
00:10:49,015 --> 00:10:50,983
The momentum shifting back and forth.

152
00:10:51,050 --> 00:10:54,086
Such is the pace
that these two are going at in.

153
00:10:54,153 --> 00:10:56,956
Such is their knowledge
of each other's opponent here.

154
00:10:57,023 --> 00:10:59,992
They know immediately
how to reverse their favorite moves.

155
00:11:02,595 --> 00:11:04,830
[Vic] A vicious headbutt by Pete Dunne.

156
00:11:04,897 --> 00:11:06,999
Everything, Beth, that Pete Dunne

157
00:11:07,066 --> 00:11:10,603
has done in his career is so malicious.

158
00:11:10,670 --> 00:11:12,905
Look at what Dunne is doing to Kushida.

159
00:11:12,972 --> 00:11:15,708
[Beth] The ring acumen of Pete Dunne,

160
00:11:15,775 --> 00:11:18,878
add to that that he has got
into the best shape of his life.

161
00:11:18,944 --> 00:11:21,380
His quickness is unmatched at this moment.

162
00:11:21,447 --> 00:11:24,884
He is working and operating
at a level we've never seen him at before.

163
00:11:24,950 --> 00:11:26,919
[Vic] Wade, I want to come back to you.

164
00:11:26,986 --> 00:11:28,921
You talked about both these superstars.

165
00:11:28,988 --> 00:11:32,091
As we take a look at what happened
before the commercial break,

166
00:11:32,158 --> 00:11:35,294
the snapping of the fingers.
Looking for the bitter end.

167
00:11:35,361 --> 00:11:39,532
Kushida able to counter Dunne,
and, boy, was so very close.

168
00:11:39,598 --> 00:11:42,101
Very evenly matched is this matchup,

169
00:11:42,168 --> 00:11:45,371
but by calling yourself
the best technical wrestler in the world,

170
00:11:45,438 --> 00:11:48,007
didn't Pete Dunne
just put more pressure on himself?

171
00:11:48,074 --> 00:11:50,876
[Wade] He is putting pressure
on himself as he goes for--

172
00:11:50,943 --> 00:11:54,013
[Vic] A chook of the leg.
Is it enough to put Kushida--

173
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:55,181
Oh, Kushida kicks out.

174
00:11:55,247 --> 00:11:58,684
[audience cheering]

175
00:12:05,458 --> 00:12:08,227
[Vic] Take a look
at the Capitol Wrestling Center

176
00:12:08,294 --> 00:12:10,529
here on the USA Network and Peacock

177
00:12:10,596 --> 00:12:12,431
as Pete Dunne focused on Kushida.

178
00:12:12,498 --> 00:12:14,967
No one home.
Kushida answers with a another kick,

179
00:12:15,034 --> 00:12:17,603
and now Kushida, right back
into this matchup,

180
00:12:17,670 --> 00:12:20,840
looking to hook and now drop
Dunne into the submission.

181
00:12:20,906 --> 00:12:24,844
Cross armbreaker connects.
Dunne able to roll through the pressure,

182
00:12:24,910 --> 00:12:27,313
reversed, and again a stomp
onto the left elbow.

183
00:12:27,379 --> 00:12:29,915
Dunne now trying to transition
in his own right.

184
00:12:29,982 --> 00:12:32,651
Double underhook suplex
into the cross break.

185
00:12:32,718 --> 00:12:34,954
[Wade] Return the favor back to Kushida.

186
00:12:35,020 --> 00:12:37,256
Kushida managing to get
his way out of there.

187
00:12:37,323 --> 00:12:41,026
[Vic] Swing and a miss, right-hand
connects and Kushida answers back.

188
00:12:41,093 --> 00:12:44,196
[Beth] This is like a tennis match
back and forth.

189
00:12:44,263 --> 00:12:46,365
[Vic] Bam, so evenly matched.

190
00:12:46,432 --> 00:12:48,968
[Wade] Oh my, neither opponent has had

191
00:12:49,034 --> 00:12:51,837
more than 30 seconds
of consistent momentum in this one.

192
00:12:51,904 --> 00:12:56,575
[audience chanting "NXT"]

193
00:12:56,642 --> 00:13:00,346
[Vic] You start to wonder
for Kushida, the hand,

194
00:13:00,412 --> 00:13:03,716
you can see him trying to shake
some feeling back into his fingers

195
00:13:03,783 --> 00:13:06,252
and more pressure on Dunne
now in this matchup.

196
00:13:06,318 --> 00:13:08,988
[Wade] Dunne was the one
who made boastful claim

197
00:13:09,054 --> 00:13:11,056
of being the best technician
on the planet.

198
00:13:11,123 --> 00:13:13,425
He's the reason we are here in this match,

199
00:13:13,492 --> 00:13:15,628
and to be proved wrong by Kushida

200
00:13:15,694 --> 00:13:18,864
will be a massive humiliation
that would crush the ego of Dunne.

201
00:13:18,931 --> 00:13:21,167
[Beth] To be fair, Wade,
go big or, go home.

202
00:13:21,233 --> 00:13:23,269
Pete Dunne believes that about himself.

203
00:13:23,335 --> 00:13:25,104
He's not out here blowing smoke.

204
00:13:25,171 --> 00:13:29,074
To be honest, in each and every one
of his matches, he tends to prove it.

205
00:13:29,842 --> 00:13:31,710
[Vic] Hear that last kick to the bicep

206
00:13:31,777 --> 00:13:34,013
echoing through
the Capitol Wrestling Wenter.

207
00:13:34,079 --> 00:13:36,348
That dropkick,
pinpoint precision by Kushida.

208
00:13:36,415 --> 00:13:39,485
Kushida is focused
on the arms of Pete Dunne,

209
00:13:39,552 --> 00:13:42,788
and Kushida now, at least
for the moment, blocking out the pain.

210
00:13:42,855 --> 00:13:46,425
[Wade] Yes, absolutely. Clearly painful
on that hand of Kushida

211
00:13:46,492 --> 00:13:50,229
after the attacks from Dunne, but back
on top, but how long is the question.

212
00:13:50,296 --> 00:13:52,231
[Vic] He's still in control,

213
00:13:52,298 --> 00:13:56,702
and again, Kushida has scouted
Pete Dunne heading into this matchup.

214
00:13:56,769 --> 00:13:59,772
Now, Kushida, the rage coming out.

215
00:14:00,506 --> 00:14:03,142
[audience cheering]

216
00:14:03,209 --> 00:14:06,478
[Vic] Capitol Wrestling Center
on their feet.

217
00:14:07,913 --> 00:14:09,949
What is on the mind of Kushida?

218
00:14:10,015 --> 00:14:11,283
Hoverboard lock.

219
00:14:13,219 --> 00:14:16,455
Top rope, Kushida off the top.

220
00:14:16,522 --> 00:14:17,590
Hoverboard lock.

221
00:14:17,656 --> 00:14:19,858
[Wade] Locked in right
from the ropes here.

222
00:14:19,925 --> 00:14:21,026
Is Dunne going to tap?

223
00:14:21,093 --> 00:14:23,462
[Vic] Look
at the body positioning of Kushida.

224
00:14:23,529 --> 00:14:26,699
[Beth] He's right on top of Pete Dunne
and following the impact,

225
00:14:26,765 --> 00:14:29,101
driving the air out of Pete Dunne's lungs.

226
00:14:29,168 --> 00:14:30,402
Dunne is in agony.

227
00:14:30,469 --> 00:14:33,672
[Vic] Oh, Dunne, able
to fight his way to the bottom rope.

228
00:14:33,739 --> 00:14:36,242
Kushida not letting go.

229
00:14:36,308 --> 00:14:39,078
[Wade] Getting as much bang for his buck.

230
00:14:39,144 --> 00:14:41,413
Locked in again. Both hands tied up.

231
00:14:41,480 --> 00:14:44,450
[audience chanting "tap, tap"]

232
00:14:45,584 --> 00:14:47,753
[Vic] Is Dunne going to tap?

233
00:14:47,820 --> 00:14:53,993
Dunne with his big toe
forcing the hold by Kushida.

234
00:14:54,059 --> 00:14:55,895
And what a way to kick off tonight.

235
00:14:55,961 --> 00:15:00,399
#NXTTakeOver trending number one
in the United States,

236
00:15:00,466 --> 00:15:01,967
as Kushida trying to prove

237
00:15:02,034 --> 00:15:05,104
he's the best technical wrestler
in the world.

238
00:15:05,170 --> 00:15:06,605
Knee across the elbow.

239
00:15:06,672 --> 00:15:09,975
Kushida could be lining up
to prove Pete Dunne wrong.

240
00:15:10,042 --> 00:15:12,745
[Wade] Dunne's in a world of trouble here.

241
00:15:12,811 --> 00:15:15,514
Hoverboard lock, locked on, as again.

242
00:15:15,581 --> 00:15:18,784
Pete Dunne meandering his way
over to the ropes again.

243
00:15:18,851 --> 00:15:20,920
The referee has to break it.

244
00:15:20,986 --> 00:15:24,623
[Beth] What incredible power
as Kushida switching arms.

245
00:15:24,690 --> 00:15:27,459
-[Vic] Shoulders down.
-[Beth] This could be it.

246
00:15:27,526 --> 00:15:29,461
Oh, Kushida able to kick out,

247
00:15:29,528 --> 00:15:32,898
and Pete Dunne wisely able
to get to the ropes yet again.

248
00:15:32,965 --> 00:15:35,968
[Wade] Well, Kushida is
all over Pete Dunne at this point,

249
00:15:36,035 --> 00:15:39,471
but has the damage been done
to Dunne's arm?

250
00:15:39,538 --> 00:15:42,441
He is in agony.
He can't even stand up at this point.

251
00:15:42,508 --> 00:15:44,543
Focused purely on that left elbow.

252
00:15:44,610 --> 00:15:48,347
[Vic] No half bragging rights
because we want to remind the world

253
00:15:48,414 --> 00:15:50,049
NXT moves to Tuesday nights on USA.

254
00:15:50,115 --> 00:15:52,551
This Tuesday, but right now,
it's Pete Dunne,

255
00:15:52,618 --> 00:15:55,621
again bending back, bending back
the index finger.

256
00:15:55,688 --> 00:15:57,056
The middle finger, and he--

257
00:15:57,122 --> 00:16:01,427
Oh, my gosh, again, just trying
to break the fingers of Kushida.

258
00:16:01,493 --> 00:16:02,695
[audience booing]

259
00:16:02,761 --> 00:16:06,365
-[Beth] Dunne has stomped the phalanges.
-[Vic] Swing and a miss.

260
00:16:06,432 --> 00:16:09,601
Right hand connects, but again,
the fingers and the damage done.

261
00:16:09,668 --> 00:16:13,672
Dunne capitalizing.
Third time the kick connects.

262
00:16:13,739 --> 00:16:18,577
[Beth] The bones of Kushida's hands
have to be absolutely crushed.

263
00:16:18,644 --> 00:16:20,479
[Wade] Kushida's got nothing left.

264
00:16:20,546 --> 00:16:23,916
[Vic] Dunne trying to lock
in the bitter end to Kushida.

265
00:16:23,983 --> 00:16:26,151
Dunne, cover, the count.

266
00:16:26,218 --> 00:16:28,654
Pete Dunne proves to be
what he says he is.

267
00:16:28,721 --> 00:16:30,155
[bell rings]

268
00:16:30,222 --> 00:16:31,523
[Pete Dunne's music plays]

269
00:16:31,590 --> 00:16:34,393
[female announcer]
Here is your winner, Pete Dunne.

270
00:16:34,460 --> 00:16:39,131
[Vic] That is the best
technical wrestler in the world.

271
00:16:40,699 --> 00:16:46,071
[Wade] What a start to this match.
Two men truly going toe to toe.

272
00:16:46,138 --> 00:16:50,943
Hold for hold. Kushida gave
a fantastic account for himself,

273
00:16:51,010 --> 00:16:55,981
but ultimately, it was Dunne's strategy
of softening of the hand of Kushida

274
00:16:56,048 --> 00:16:58,350
which is where Kushida fell apart.

275
00:16:58,417 --> 00:17:00,252
[Vic] I got to correct you,

276
00:17:00,319 --> 00:17:02,654
not hand, hands of Kushida right here.

277
00:17:02,721 --> 00:17:05,657
[Beth] Here's an example,
difficult to watch in this moment.

278
00:17:05,724 --> 00:17:09,061
Dunne's wheelhouse right there,
resulting in this, Vic.

279
00:17:09,128 --> 00:17:14,266
[Vic] Resulting in both Kushida not able
to capitalize after that punch connected,

280
00:17:14,333 --> 00:17:16,301
which opened the door, Beth, for Dunne.

281
00:17:16,368 --> 00:17:19,772
[Beth] The viciousness of Pete Dunne
on display right there,

282
00:17:19,838 --> 00:17:21,607
getting advantage of Kushida.

283
00:17:21,673 --> 00:17:22,941
[Vic] Then, just added up

284
00:17:23,008 --> 00:17:25,878
and it would all equal
the bitter end for Kushida,

285
00:17:25,944 --> 00:17:30,215
as Pete Dunne proves
his squared circle supremacy

286
00:17:30,282 --> 00:17:37,089
here tonight to kick things off
on NXT TakeOver: Stand & deliver.

287
00:17:39,258 --> 00:17:42,561
[Beth] Well, and then,
action continues here on TakeOver .

288
00:17:42,628 --> 00:17:45,063
You can see NXT women's champion
Io Shirai,

289
00:17:45,130 --> 00:17:47,399
someone she has great respect for,
Zoey Stark,

290
00:17:47,466 --> 00:17:50,402
as she takes on
her most imposing challenger ever,

291
00:17:50,469 --> 00:17:55,274
Raquel González, in tonight's historic
main event, Io Shirai.

292
00:17:55,774 --> 00:17:59,812
[Wade] Here is the challenger herself,
Raquel González,

293
00:17:59,878 --> 00:18:03,348
squaring off in our main event
against Io Shirai,

294
00:18:03,415 --> 00:18:07,486
flanked by her partner in crime,
Dakota Kai. Cannot wait for that one.

295
00:18:07,553 --> 00:18:10,889
[Vic] That is our main event,
but how about what is coming up next?

296
00:18:10,956 --> 00:18:14,660
Who will earn the opportunity
to face Johnny Gargano

297
00:18:14,726 --> 00:18:17,396
tomorrow night in night number two,

298
00:18:17,463 --> 00:18:20,732
as our number one contender
Gauntlet match is next.

299
00:18:20,799 --> 00:18:23,101
[Beth] They've got
quite the mountain to climb.

300
00:18:23,168 --> 00:18:24,470
Ruff and Scott will start.

301
00:18:24,536 --> 00:18:26,738
Every three minutes,
a new man will come up.

302
00:18:26,805 --> 00:18:30,275
The winner of night one will have earned
the chance to face Gargano.

303
00:18:30,342 --> 00:18:34,246
It all happens tomorrow,
the Gauntlet Eliminator is next.

304
00:18:40,886 --> 00:18:42,821
[soft music]

305
00:18:43,622 --> 00:18:49,128
[Vic] Edge just achieved the impossible.
Edge is going to Wrestlemania.

306
00:18:49,194 --> 00:18:50,696
[Edge] I choose Roman Reigns.

307
00:18:50,762 --> 00:18:55,067
[Vic] Edge wants the head of the table
on the grandest stage of them all.

308
00:18:55,134 --> 00:18:58,937
A man like you just doesn't stand a chance

309
00:18:59,004 --> 00:19:01,840
against a man like me.

310
00:19:01,907 --> 00:19:05,644
[Vic] The single most dominant force
in all of WWE.

311
00:19:05,711 --> 00:19:08,780
Maybe it's time that I remind you just
who the hell I am.

312
00:19:09,381 --> 00:19:10,949
[woman] You think you know me.

313
00:19:11,016 --> 00:19:13,652
[Vic] He continues to add to his legacy.

314
00:19:13,719 --> 00:19:16,788
I'm tired of standing on the sidelines.

315
00:19:16,855 --> 00:19:19,024
I'm going to give it everything I've got.

316
00:19:19,091 --> 00:19:21,860
I'm walking out of Wrestlemania
as a champion.

317
00:19:21,927 --> 00:19:23,962
I operate in this ring at a higher level.

318
00:19:24,029 --> 00:19:27,633
[Vic] Edge, Roman Reigns,
and Daniel Bryan in a triple threat match

319
00:19:27,699 --> 00:19:31,236
for the Universal title at Wrestlemania.

320
00:19:37,476 --> 00:19:38,844
[music]

321
00:19:38,911 --> 00:19:41,880
Wrestlemania exclusively streaming live

322
00:19:41,947 --> 00:19:44,383
right here on Peacock
this Saturday and Sunday.

323
00:19:44,449 --> 00:19:47,119
Guys, I got to ask you,
and I want to start with Wade.

324
00:19:47,186 --> 00:19:49,187
How do you win a Gauntlet match?

325
00:19:49,254 --> 00:19:52,658
A Gauntletmatch is very, very simple.
You need two things.

326
00:19:52,724 --> 00:19:56,528
You need endurance
and you need a little bit of luck.

327
00:19:56,595 --> 00:20:02,234
Failing that, you just need to make sure
that your name is LA Knight.

328
00:20:02,301 --> 00:20:05,237
Do we have to continue
to listen to that, Wade?

329
00:20:05,304 --> 00:20:06,872
He says everything, [Indistinct]

330
00:20:06,939 --> 00:20:10,576
You get a kick back on this or something?
A little cash from la LA Knight?

331
00:20:10,642 --> 00:20:13,378
That's a great point actually, Beth.

[audience cheering]

334
00:20:24,389 --> 00:20:25,724
[Vic] Well, wait a minute.

335
00:20:28,327 --> 00:20:29,861
Leon Ruff and Isaiah "Swerve,"

336
00:20:29,928 --> 00:20:33,165
these are the first two superstars
to enter this Gauntlet match.

337
00:20:33,232 --> 00:20:34,266
[audience booing]

338
00:20:34,333 --> 00:20:37,269
Isaiah "Swerve" Scott
taking full advantage,

339
00:20:37,336 --> 00:20:39,738
just like what we saw last week.

340
00:20:39,805 --> 00:20:43,075
[Wade] Hang on a second.
Let's not forget it was Leon Ruff

341
00:20:43,141 --> 00:20:46,411
who attacked "Swerve" Scott
prior to last week's Battle Royal.

342
00:20:46,478 --> 00:20:48,714
[Vic] Now both superstars going at it.

343
00:20:48,780 --> 00:20:50,949
Fair warning too.

344
00:20:51,016 --> 00:20:52,384
You said, "simple" earlier.

345
00:20:52,451 --> 00:20:54,753
There's nothing simple
for either of these two.

346
00:20:54,820 --> 00:20:57,789
[Wade] I don't think the match
has even officially started.

347
00:20:57,856 --> 00:20:59,258
I didn't hear the bell ring.

348
00:20:59,324 --> 00:21:02,794
-[Vic] Wait a minute. No, no, no.
-[Wade] Oh!

349
00:21:04,529 --> 00:21:07,199
[Vic] We talked about animosity
being at an all-time--

350
00:21:07,265 --> 00:21:08,400
[Beth] Oh! What?

351
00:21:08,467 --> 00:21:10,068
[Wade] Leon Ruff is like a cat.

352
00:21:10,135 --> 00:21:14,673
[Vic] Oh, spidey senses flaring up
for Leon Ruff.

353
00:21:14,740 --> 00:21:17,042
-[audience cheering]
-[referee] Come on, guys.

354
00:21:17,776 --> 00:21:22,180
[Vic] Then again, to Wade's point,
this match hasn't begun.

355
00:21:22,247 --> 00:21:25,984
[Beth] Looks like Leon Ruff
is prepared to finish it though.

356
00:21:27,152 --> 00:21:29,921
[Vic] Oh, no, no, no. Oh, sternum first.

357
00:21:29,988 --> 00:21:31,423
[referee] Come on.

358
00:21:32,824 --> 00:21:33,992
[Wade] Let's face it.

359
00:21:34,059 --> 00:21:37,262
If either of these two men
are going to win this Gauntlet,

360
00:21:37,329 --> 00:21:39,464
they're going to have to be marathon men.

361
00:21:39,531 --> 00:21:41,967
They're just adding
to the duration of the match

362
00:21:42,034 --> 00:21:43,869
and the match hasn't started.

363
00:21:43,935 --> 00:21:46,972
[referee] Come on, Swerve.
You've only got a start it in here.

364
00:21:47,039 --> 00:21:49,675
[Vic] That's what I was trying
to allude to, Wade,

365
00:21:49,741 --> 00:21:54,813
is these two got the hardest odds
and the longest odds just to survive this.

366
00:21:58,216 --> 00:22:01,119
Leon Ruff still trying to fight,

367
00:22:01,186 --> 00:22:04,456
but Leon Ruff
was attacked before this matchup.

368
00:22:04,523 --> 00:22:08,060
[Beth] Yes, Leon Ruff operating
on pure emotion in this moment,

369
00:22:08,126 --> 00:22:10,429
just trying to give it back to Swerve.

370
00:22:11,396 --> 00:22:15,901
[referee] Come on.
Get inside the ring. Come on.

371
00:22:20,305 --> 00:22:22,207
[Vic] Well, back on USA Network,

372
00:22:22,274 --> 00:22:25,877
the first two entries
into the Gauntlet match are here.

373
00:22:25,944 --> 00:22:28,480
-[bell rings]
-[Vic] Finally, this match started.

374
00:22:28,547 --> 00:22:30,615
[Wade] A little pre-battle brawl there.

375
00:22:30,682 --> 00:22:33,452
Swerve again, out on the floor.
Ruff too quick for him.

376
00:22:33,518 --> 00:22:34,786
[Beth chuckling] Oh…

377
00:22:34,853 --> 00:22:36,955
[Vic] Much like we saw
in the first match--

378
00:22:37,022 --> 00:22:39,057
[Wade] Must've been watching Pete Dunne.

379
00:22:39,124 --> 00:22:40,859
[Vic] Will it work for Leon Ruff?

380
00:22:40,926 --> 00:22:44,229
Oh, no. Scott catching ruff again.

381
00:22:45,263 --> 00:22:46,965
Staring him over the barricade.

382
00:22:47,032 --> 00:22:49,167
[Wade] Ruff coming through
with that topeé.

383
00:22:49,234 --> 00:22:50,769
He's 150 pounds, soaking wet.

384
00:22:50,836 --> 00:22:54,539
Did not have the force
to take down Isaiah "Swerve" Scott.

385
00:22:54,606 --> 00:22:56,742
Look at the grimace on the face of Swerve.

386
00:22:56,808 --> 00:22:57,909
[audience booing]

387
00:22:57,976 --> 00:23:02,247
[Vic] Look, Isaiah "Swerve" Scott is going
to have Leon Ruff to himself for now

388
00:23:02,314 --> 00:23:03,749
under three minutes

389
00:23:03,815 --> 00:23:06,952
until the next competitor enters
into this Gauntlet Eliminator.

390
00:23:07,018 --> 00:23:09,654
For Scott, Wade,

391
00:23:09,721 --> 00:23:13,759
he believes he's been overlooked
here at NXT by superstars like Leon Ruff.

392
00:23:13,825 --> 00:23:17,796
[Wade] It is very, very difficult
to disagree with "Swerve" Scott

393
00:23:17,863 --> 00:23:21,199
because let's face it--
He's staring at you again, Vic.

394
00:23:21,266 --> 00:23:23,568
[Beth] I don't like the look
on his face there.

395
00:23:23,635 --> 00:23:25,804
[Wade] Let's face it,
Ruff walked into NXT,

396
00:23:25,871 --> 00:23:28,073
was handed opportunities from the word go,

397
00:23:28,140 --> 00:23:30,375
Swerve has never been given opportunities.

398
00:23:30,442 --> 00:23:31,443
That is not safe.

399
00:23:32,677 --> 00:23:34,312
[Beth] Oh…

400
00:23:34,379 --> 00:23:35,881
[all] Oh!

401
00:23:35,947 --> 00:23:39,117
[Wade] Down and twisting,
cutting up our announce desk.

402
00:23:41,887 --> 00:23:44,790
[audience cheering]

403
00:23:44,856 --> 00:23:47,626
[Vic] It's moves
like what we just witnessed.

404
00:23:47,692 --> 00:23:50,295
It's the heart of a champion
that Leon Ruff has,

405
00:23:50,362 --> 00:23:53,265
that makes him in this match
the only man, Beth,

406
00:23:53,331 --> 00:23:57,369
to hold the North American title,
as into the cover to eliminate Scott.

407
00:23:57,436 --> 00:23:59,771
Isaiah "Swerve" Scott
able to kick out again.

408
00:23:59,838 --> 00:24:02,441
Pinfall elimination,
the only way to be eliminated.

409
00:24:02,507 --> 00:24:04,709
[Beth] Wade's speaking
a whole lot of baloney

410
00:24:04,776 --> 00:24:06,878
saying Leon Ruff was handed opportunities.

411
00:24:06,945 --> 00:24:09,815
Ruff has earned everything
that he's got in that ring,

412
00:24:09,881 --> 00:24:12,684
and you're seeing that
right here, what he is capable of.

413
00:24:12,751 --> 00:24:14,453
[Wade] I humbly disagree with you,

414
00:24:14,519 --> 00:24:16,855
but he's doing a heck of a job
with Swerve now.

415
00:24:16,922 --> 00:24:20,458
Swerve though,
turning the tables in a heartbeat.

416
00:24:21,259 --> 00:24:25,397
Slingshot against the top rope.
Let's take another look at this.

417
00:24:25,464 --> 00:24:27,566
[Vic] This was
during the commercial break.

418
00:24:27,632 --> 00:24:32,204
Isaiah "Swerve" Scott was able
to turn things around in his advantage.

419
00:24:33,605 --> 00:24:37,709
Isaiah "Swerve" Scott, a man
on a mission in this matchup.

420
00:24:37,776 --> 00:24:41,179
You wonder though, Beth,
for Scott, is it not only--

421
00:24:41,246 --> 00:24:43,715
he just wants to punish
Leon Ruff at this point.

422
00:24:43,782 --> 00:24:46,685
[Beth] Yes, we were mentioning
before the emotional--

423
00:24:46,751 --> 00:24:51,456
These two men despise each other,
they're willing to tear each other apart.

424
00:24:51,523 --> 00:24:53,225
[Vic] I don't know if you noticed,

425
00:24:53,291 --> 00:24:57,495
but Scott literally just pulled Leon Ruff
to the middle turnbuckle by his ears.

426
00:24:57,562 --> 00:25:00,365
Now, could be looking
to plant Ruff with a piledriver.

427
00:25:00,432 --> 00:25:02,133
What a reversal by Ruff.

428
00:25:06,338 --> 00:25:10,075
[audience cheering]

429
00:25:12,177 --> 00:25:15,280
[Beth] What a breathtaking reversal here.

430
00:25:15,347 --> 00:25:19,084
Leon Ruff using Swerve's
momentum against him.

431
00:25:21,653 --> 00:25:23,555
[Vic] Both superstars down.

432
00:25:23,622 --> 00:25:27,292
These are just the first two,
as now the countdown begins.

[Bronson Reed's music plays]

435
00:25:35,433 --> 00:25:38,370
[Vic] We all know based
on the eliminations from a week ago,

436
00:25:39,371 --> 00:25:43,308
that it will be Bronson Reed
entering this match third.

437
00:25:43,375 --> 00:25:47,913
Now, for Bronson Reed--
Wait a minute. Ruff wasting no time.

438
00:25:47,979 --> 00:25:49,581
[Wade] Oh, what a powerhouse.

439
00:25:49,648 --> 00:25:52,384
Bronson Reed has plucked Ruff
out of the air with ease.

440
00:25:52,450 --> 00:25:53,485
[Vic] Whoa.

441
00:25:53,552 --> 00:25:55,921
[Wade] Smarts from "Swerve" Scott there.

442
00:25:55,987 --> 00:25:58,657
[Vic] Scott now,
right on top of Bronson Reed.

443
00:25:58,723 --> 00:26:01,126
This has to be the strategy
of Scott and Ruff.

444
00:26:01,993 --> 00:26:03,194
Reed's the freshest.

445
00:26:03,261 --> 00:26:06,831
[Beth] He hasn't been giving a chance
to get his ring jacket off of him.

448
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:21,513
Oh! It's Big Boy season in full effect
here in the Capitol Wrestling Center.

449
00:26:21,580 --> 00:26:25,050
Many considered Reed, Wade,
the favorite in last week's Battle Royal.

450
00:26:25,116 --> 00:26:27,185
[Wade] Absolutely, for the Battle Royal.

451
00:26:27,252 --> 00:26:30,355
He will be disappointed himself
getting the qualifying spot.

452
00:26:30,422 --> 00:26:32,390
He got a man of his size and endurance,

453
00:26:32,457 --> 00:26:35,660
he is never going to be
his best friend in this kind of match.

454
00:26:35,727 --> 00:26:40,465
[Vic] Wait a minute. Ruff and Reed
working together to take out Scott.

[audience cheering]

456
00:26:42,033 --> 00:26:44,636
[Beth] Surprise, surprise, Wade.
I disagree with you.

457
00:26:44,703 --> 00:26:47,372
If you go back
to the first Gauntlet Eliminator,

458
00:26:47,439 --> 00:26:49,641
Bronson Reed had quite a strong showing.

459
00:26:49,708 --> 00:26:52,043
Tonight's turning out much the same way.

460
00:26:52,110 --> 00:26:55,013
[Wade] That was a terrible idea
from Leon Ruff there.

[all laugh]

462
00:26:56,214 --> 00:26:58,950
[Vic] That was probably
even a worse idea for Leon Ruff.

463
00:26:59,017 --> 00:27:03,388
[Wade] That is what you get, pancaked
in the middle of the ring, 330 pounds.

464
00:27:04,055 --> 00:27:07,325
[Vic] Now, Ruff's mind might be
realigned as Reed now--

465
00:27:09,027 --> 00:27:10,495
[all] Oh!

466
00:27:10,562 --> 00:27:13,732
-[Wade] Let's call this one off.
-[Beth] Anybody got a spatula?

467
00:27:14,499 --> 00:27:17,068
[Vic] This certainly, guys,
can't feel very good.

468
00:27:17,135 --> 00:27:21,039
[Beth] Take a look at this.
Shades of Yokozuna.

469
00:27:21,106 --> 00:27:25,744
Effortless right here, banzai
across the chest of Leon Ruff.

470

the North American champion

as Ruff lands on his feet.

472
00:27:32,817 --> 00:27:34,786
[Wade] How has his sternum not caved in?

473
00:27:34,853 --> 00:27:36,621
[Beth] Not a great strategy there.

474
00:27:37,555 --> 00:27:40,058
-[Vic] Hold on.
-[Beth] Uh-oh.

475

doing anything he can.

478
00:27:51,102 --> 00:27:53,271

[Beth] Wow. Check out the power
of the big boy,

481
00:28:07,719 --> 00:28:12,257
hoisting two bodies simultaneously.
One more time.

482
00:28:12,323 --> 00:28:14,192
Look at the height there.

483
00:28:14,259 --> 00:28:17,595
Leon Ruff sent sailing
three-quarters across the entire ring.

484
00:28:17,662 --> 00:28:19,164
[Wade] Leon Ruff got launched.

485
00:28:19,230 --> 00:28:21,299
[Vic] An absolute nasty landing for Ruff.

486
00:28:21,366 --> 00:28:24,202
I don't think Scott's going to like
the view here,

487

the next competitor entering the match.

from the North American title.

out of this match.

off the momentary distraction.

00:28:59,104 --> 00:29:04,008
Scott with a dropkick.
A moonsault by Grimes. Reed is down.

497
00:29:04,075 --> 00:29:10,148
Scott Grimes and Ruff may need to start
working together to eliminate Reed.

498
00:29:10,215 --> 00:29:12,617
[Beth] That would make sense, wouldn't it?

499
00:29:12,684 --> 00:29:14,953
You see, Cameron Grimes here,
again, looking--

500
00:29:15,019 --> 00:29:16,721
[Wade] Whoa, whoa, whoa.

501
00:29:22,894 --> 00:29:26,598
[Beth] Oh, it looks like a deal
has been struck, guys.

502
00:29:31,369 --> 00:29:35,807
[Vic] Now, Cameron Grimes
and Swerve working together.

503
00:29:35,874 --> 00:29:39,677
Maybe he can buy a victory in this match,
or at least some help.

504
00:29:39,744 --> 00:29:42,247
[Wade] Everybody has a price,
a wise man once said.

505
00:29:42,313 --> 00:29:43,882
Apparently, Swerve has a price.

506
00:29:43,948 --> 00:29:46,117
Let's face it.
Swerve is still in the match.

507
00:29:46,184 --> 00:29:48,086
It behooves him to team up with Grimes,

508
00:29:48,153 --> 00:29:50,321
and might as well
get some money for it too.

509
00:29:50,388 --> 00:29:53,691
[Vic] Scott is still in the match.
A matter of fact, no eliminations yet

510
00:29:53,758 --> 00:29:57,095
in this Gauntlet Eliminator to find out
who will face Johnny Gargano

511
00:29:57,162 --> 00:30:00,131
tomorrow night
for the North American Championship.

512
00:30:00,198 --> 00:30:02,700
[Wade] Let's face it,
if there are no eliminations,

513
00:30:02,767 --> 00:30:04,903
we could end up
with all six men in the ring

514
00:30:04,969 --> 00:30:06,437
at the same time.

515
00:30:06,504 --> 00:30:09,474
[Vic] Cameron Grimes,
and again it's been, Ruff and Swerve

516
00:30:09,541 --> 00:30:13,678
who started this matchup for Ruff.
He was jumped out of the gate by Scott

517
00:30:13,745 --> 00:30:16,714
and Ruff now right foot up,
Cameron Grimes charges in.

518
00:30:16,781 --> 00:30:18,950
No one home. Ruff connects with a forearm.

519
00:30:19,017 --> 00:30:21,252
[Beth] Leon Ruff that incredible speed--

520
00:30:21,319 --> 00:30:25,423
Oh, those ropes might be slippery
from the sweat and body oil.

521
00:30:25,490 --> 00:30:29,060
[Vic] I think it was
just Ruff's cat-like agility,

522
00:30:29,127 --> 00:30:33,498
but nothing agile about another rough
landing through the eye.

523
00:30:37,569 --> 00:30:40,872
Grimes and Scott again working
together, this time though,

524
00:30:40,939 --> 00:30:43,875
Bronson Reed trying to fight
both Grimes and Scott off.

525
00:30:43,942 --> 00:30:46,010
Oh, smart strategy by Grimes.

526
00:30:46,845 --> 00:30:49,981
And now, Scott follows up
with a boot kick under the jaw.

527
00:30:50,648 --> 00:30:51,616
Reed again is rocked.

528
00:30:51,683 --> 00:30:55,119
[Wade] Smart move. Keep Reed
out of the match for as long as you can.

529
00:30:55,186 --> 00:30:58,122
Take care of everyone else,
and then focus on the big one.

530
00:30:58,189 --> 00:31:01,626
-[Vic] You got to get Reed in the ring.
-[Wade] Worry when it happens.

531
00:31:01,693 --> 00:31:04,429
[Beth] Swerve looking
a little cocky in this situation.

532
00:31:04,495 --> 00:31:06,664
[Wade] He's castled
over the ringside area.

533
00:31:06,731 --> 00:31:08,433
[Vic] Oh!

534
00:31:08,499 --> 00:31:12,937
Tried to shrink the field,
as Grimes and Scott focusing on Leon Ruff.

535
00:31:13,004 --> 00:31:16,074
[Beth] Grimes one of the only
two competitors in this matchup

536
00:31:16,140 --> 00:31:18,443
that have experience
in a Gauntlet Eliminator.

537
00:31:18,509 --> 00:31:20,912
Grimes going all the way
to the end last time.

538
00:31:20,979 --> 00:31:25,350
[Vic] Cameron Grimes trying to do
the exact same here tonight.

539
00:31:25,416 --> 00:31:29,153
If he's successful, he might have
a date with destiny tomorrow night.

540
00:31:29,220 --> 00:31:33,424
Again, the next competitor
about to enter the match.

541
00:31:33,491 --> 00:31:36,261
[audience chanting
"Five, four, three, two, one"]

542
00:31:36,327 --> 00:31:38,129
[Dexter Lumis' music plays]

543
00:31:38,196 --> 00:31:41,666
[Vic] We certainly know
that Dexter Lumis--

544
00:31:41,733 --> 00:31:45,370
Well, we know his number one fan,
Indi Hartwell certainly pulling for him.

545
00:31:45,436 --> 00:31:47,405
-[Beth] Index.
-[Wade] Index?

546
00:31:47,472 --> 00:31:50,408
-[Vic] Index.
-[Wade] No, is that like Benifer?

547
00:31:50,475 --> 00:31:53,511
[Beth] It's the next best celebrity couple
nickname. Index.

548
00:31:53,578 --> 00:31:56,681
[Wade] The guys a creep, Indi
needs to stay well clear of this.

549
00:31:56,748 --> 00:31:59,250
[Beth] Don't get in the way
of true love, Wade.

550
00:31:59,317 --> 00:32:02,654
[Vic] Dexter Lumis could be going
one on one

551
00:32:02,720 --> 00:32:05,890
with Indi Hartwell's mentor
tomorrow night.

552
00:32:05,957 --> 00:32:10,361
Johnny Gargano back into the ring, though,
Grimes in the outside.

553
00:32:10,428 --> 00:32:12,330
Center of the ring, Leon Ruff.

554
00:32:12,397 --> 00:32:14,332
The first superstar, gone.

555
00:32:14,399 --> 00:32:17,969
[female announcer]
Leon Ruff has been eliminated.

556
00:32:18,036 --> 00:32:19,904
[Vic] Dexter Lumis on the ramp now.

557
00:32:19,971 --> 00:32:25,076
Oh, DDT dropping Bronson Reed.

558
00:32:25,143 --> 00:32:28,913
[Beth] Take a look at its deliberate
movement from Dexter Lumis.

559
00:32:28,980 --> 00:32:30,648
[audience cheering]

560
00:32:30,715 --> 00:32:33,851
[Vic] We know Lumis wants to get
his hands on Johnny Gargano.

561
00:32:33,918 --> 00:32:37,255
He's got to go through the field
to get to Johnny Gargano tomorrow--

562
00:32:37,322 --> 00:32:39,691
Oh, old friends reunite.

563
00:32:41,592 --> 00:32:43,728
[Wade] Grimes wants no part of that.

564
00:32:45,496 --> 00:32:47,632
[Vic] Flashbacks to Halloween havoc,

565
00:32:47,699 --> 00:32:50,601
but right now Scott
might be having flashbacks of his own.

566
00:32:50,668 --> 00:32:52,370
Taking a nasty ride.

567
00:32:54,105 --> 00:32:58,876
[Wade] A slow methodical pace
of Lumis was so effective in there.

568
00:32:58,943 --> 00:33:00,178
[Vic] Whoa!

569
00:33:00,244 --> 00:33:03,181
[Beth] You get a suplex, you get a suplex.

570
00:33:03,247 --> 00:33:07,151
[Vic] Dexter Lumis, not a man
of many words. All about action.

571
00:33:07,218 --> 00:33:11,522
Another stiff right hand
to the jaw of Scott.

572
00:33:11,589 --> 00:33:16,027
Could you imagine, Dexter Lumis,
Johnny Gargano tomorrow night?

573
00:33:16,761 --> 00:33:20,598
[Wade] Absolutely, of course.
We've seen those two do battle before,

574
00:33:20,665 --> 00:33:25,336
but once again here just devastating
effects from Dexter Lumis.

575
00:33:25,403 --> 00:33:27,071
[Beth] Lumis has cleaned house.

576
00:33:29,207 --> 00:33:32,677
[audience chanting "Dexter Lumis"]

577
00:33:38,750 --> 00:33:40,651
[Vic] Oh, this is what it's about now.

578
00:33:40,718 --> 00:33:43,488
Look at Reed, look at Lumis,
both slugging it out.

579
00:33:44,122 --> 00:33:47,692
[Wade] Yes, I know I'm backing
on that one, it's a 330-pounder.

580
00:33:47,759 --> 00:33:48,893
[all chuckle]

581
00:33:48,960 --> 00:33:50,528
[Beth] Dexter Lumis might be
impervious to pain.

582
00:33:50,595 --> 00:33:54,065
[Vic] Whoa!
Lumis trying to lift up Bronson Reed.

583
00:33:54,132 --> 00:33:57,034
Reed, no problem getting Lumis up,
who lands on his feet.

584
00:33:57,101 --> 00:33:59,804
Lumis, shot right to the throat.
That will stop anyone.

585
00:33:59,871 --> 00:34:02,540
-[Beth] One more time. Whoa!
-[Vic] Hoisting up Reed.

586
00:34:02,607 --> 00:34:04,175
[Wade] Oh, my word.

587
00:34:04,242 --> 00:34:07,445
[Beth] The powerful physique
of Dexter Lumis.

588
00:34:07,512 --> 00:34:12,183
[Vic] Oh! Grimes, I don't know
if that was by default or not,

589
00:34:12,250 --> 00:34:14,786
but both superstars up and over.

590
00:34:14,852 --> 00:34:18,022
[Wade] Crashing and burning
on the floor right in front of us.

591
00:34:18,089 --> 00:34:20,591
Not sure who got the worst of that one.

592
00:34:20,658 --> 00:34:23,828
[Vic] Only one superstar left
to join the fray

593
00:34:23,895 --> 00:34:27,999
and we all know it was a winner
of last week's Battle Royal,

594
00:34:28,065 --> 00:34:32,103
the hottest free agent to come to NXT.

595
00:34:32,170 --> 00:34:35,106
[LA Knight's music plays]

596
00:34:35,173 --> 00:34:37,041
[LA Knight] Let me talk to you.

597
00:34:38,576 --> 00:34:43,147
LA Knight's TakeOver is now official.

598
00:34:44,816 --> 00:34:47,051
Matter of fact, yes.

599
00:34:47,118 --> 00:34:50,421
While I go ahead and help
this human piece of waste to the back.

600
00:34:51,522 --> 00:34:53,758
Speaking of guys taking off,

601
00:34:53,825 --> 00:34:56,928
I hear Cameron Grimes wants
to take off to the moon

602
00:34:56,994 --> 00:35:01,265
and i'm just the guy to help him,
as I pump his ass into deep space.

603
00:35:01,332 --> 00:35:02,333
[audience booing]

604
00:35:02,400 --> 00:35:06,637
I'll put it like this, Dexter Lumis,
you're going to paint that picture,

605
00:35:06,704 --> 00:35:08,573
but the only picture he should paint

606
00:35:08,639 --> 00:35:13,444
is him getting dropped on his head,
courtesy of LA Knight.

607
00:35:13,511 --> 00:35:16,414
Then Swerve, brother,
I hear you're different.

608
00:35:16,481 --> 00:35:18,616
Hey, all--

609
00:35:18,683 --> 00:35:21,152
[Vic] Oh, Bronson Reed
had enough of LA Knight.

610
00:35:21,886 --> 00:35:23,554
[Beth] I think we all had enough.

611
00:35:23,621 --> 00:35:25,790
[Wade] Absolutely not,
I was enjoying that.

612
00:35:25,857 --> 00:35:28,926
I thought you were out.
I didn't mean anything I said.

613
00:35:28,993 --> 00:35:32,463
[LA Knight] I didn't mean anything.
I didn't mean it.

614
00:35:32,530 --> 00:35:33,698
Just give me second.

615
00:35:33,764 --> 00:35:35,800
Just give me a second to think about it.

616
00:35:38,803 --> 00:35:40,771
Come on, man. Stop.

617
00:35:40,838 --> 00:35:44,575
Come on man. Come on.

618
00:35:54,452 --> 00:35:56,487
Oh, my god.

619
00:35:59,524 --> 00:36:00,525
Oh…

620
00:36:00,591 --> 00:36:04,662
[Vic] LA Knight taking the worst to wear,
as this Gauntlet Eliminator continues.

621
00:36:04,729 --> 00:36:07,465
Only one elimination thus far.

622
00:36:07,532 --> 00:36:11,469
[Beth] That bionic elbow
right between the eyes of Cameron Grimes.

623
00:36:11,536 --> 00:36:16,073
[Vic] Bronson Reed really has turned
everything into his favor.

624
00:36:16,140 --> 00:36:19,043
[Wade] Of course,
he's such a big powerhouse of a man.

625
00:36:19,110 --> 00:36:22,346
Such freakish strength and agility.

626
00:36:22,413 --> 00:36:24,715
LA Knight has to be
the favorite in this one.

627
00:36:24,782 --> 00:36:28,419
He won
the Gauntlet Qualifying Battle Royal,

628
00:36:28,486 --> 00:36:30,922
got a peach entrance in this one.

629
00:36:30,988 --> 00:36:32,723
He's been laid to waste so far,

630
00:36:32,790 --> 00:36:35,426
and again, Bronson Reed
coming back for a little more.

631
00:36:35,493 --> 00:36:38,329
[Beth] Let's not forget
LA Knight still has a lot to prove

632
00:36:38,396 --> 00:36:43,100
against superstars like Bronson Reed,
who have battle-tested here at NXT.

633
00:36:43,167 --> 00:36:46,637
[Vic] Reed just dropping LA Knight.

634
00:36:47,638 --> 00:36:50,808
We mentioned Bronson Reed
was the odds-on favorite last week,

635
00:36:50,875 --> 00:36:55,012
entered this match-up
number three in this Gauntlet.

636
00:36:55,079 --> 00:36:57,848
All competitors have now entered.

637
00:36:57,915 --> 00:37:01,586
The last one standing, earns
that championship opportunity.

638
00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:04,755
Oh, my god!

639
00:37:07,892 --> 00:37:10,895
[Vic] Back on the USA Network
Gauntlet Eliminator continuing.

640
00:37:10,962 --> 00:37:12,997
Reed side steps LA Knight.

641
00:37:13,064 --> 00:37:15,533
[Wade] Oh, yes. That is it.

642
00:37:15,600 --> 00:37:19,003
This is why this man in the building.

643
00:37:19,070 --> 00:37:22,240
LA Knight, the favorite for this.

644
00:37:22,306 --> 00:37:26,911
Oh, beautiful stuff,
and the attention-getter, the trendsetter.

645
00:37:26,978 --> 00:37:30,047
This man taking it all the way to the top.

646
00:37:30,114 --> 00:37:33,284
Who's time is it? It's LA Knight's time.

647
00:37:33,351 --> 00:37:34,352
That's why.

648
00:37:34,418 --> 00:37:36,787
[Beth] Wade, you need
a cold glass of ice water.

649
00:37:36,854 --> 00:37:39,156
[Wade] I need a cold something,
that's for sure.

650
00:37:43,094 --> 00:37:46,430
[inaudible]

651
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:52,436
[Vic] Oh! Lumis almost with eyes
in the back of his head.

652
00:37:52,503 --> 00:37:55,439
Drops and then locks in the silence.

653
00:37:55,506 --> 00:37:57,575
Silence locking on Cameron Grimes.

654
00:37:57,642 --> 00:38:00,044
[Wade] Oh, this has to be it.
Grimes out of the--

655
00:38:00,111 --> 00:38:02,513
[Vic] Wait a minute. LA Knight!
-[Beth] Hold on.

656
00:38:02,580 --> 00:38:08,252
Rolling through, shoulders down.
LA Knight just knocked out Lumis.

657
00:38:08,319 --> 00:38:11,889
[female announcer]
Dexter Lumis has been eliminated.

658
00:38:11,956 --> 00:38:15,026
[Wade] Yes, of course, he is.
This is the megastar, LA Knight.

659
00:38:15,092 --> 00:38:17,628
You get in his space,
you're going to have problems.

660
00:38:17,695 --> 00:38:19,997
[Beth] I'm never going
to hear the end of it.

661
00:38:20,064 --> 00:38:23,567
[Vic] Cameron Grimes did not tap out.
Grimes is still in the matchup.

662
00:38:23,634 --> 00:38:26,203
Big knee from Scott, though.

663
00:38:26,270 --> 00:38:31,175
Now, Grimes, who just was saved
turns things around by LA Knight.

664
00:38:31,242 --> 00:38:34,645
Reed down on that chest tonight. Cover.

665
00:38:34,712 --> 00:38:36,614
-[Wade] No.
-[all] Oh!

666
00:38:36,681 --> 00:38:38,549
[Beth laughs]

667
00:38:38,616 --> 00:38:42,186
[female announcer]
LA Knight has been eliminated.

668
00:38:42,253 --> 00:38:43,521
[Wade] No!

669
00:38:46,223 --> 00:38:47,925
[Vic] What were you saying, Wade?

670
00:38:47,992 --> 00:38:49,593
[LA Knight] That was three.

671
00:38:49,660 --> 00:38:51,696
[referee] You're out.

672
00:38:52,196 --> 00:38:54,598
I didn't do--

673
00:38:57,168 --> 00:39:01,906
[Vic] Lumis, a little bit of payback
on to LA Knight.

674
00:39:02,973 --> 00:39:05,609
Lumis eliminated. Knight eliminated.

675
00:39:05,676 --> 00:39:07,411
Knight going to sleep.

676
00:39:13,150 --> 00:39:16,454
[Beth] Apparently, that's what it takes
to shut up LA Knight.

677
00:39:16,520 --> 00:39:18,889
[Wade] God, Lumis really weirds me out.

678
00:39:19,790 --> 00:39:23,060
[Vic] Well, we are down
to the final three.

679
00:39:24,028 --> 00:39:29,333
Reed, Scott, and Cameron Grimes,
who comes in with that forearm.

680
00:39:29,400 --> 00:39:33,504
[Wade] These three men will go on
to NXT TakeOver: Stand & Deliver

681
00:39:33,571 --> 00:39:35,206
night two, tomorrow night

682
00:39:35,272 --> 00:39:38,409
to challenge the North American champion,
Johnny Gargano.

683
00:39:38,476 --> 00:39:42,179
[Vic] Isaiah "Swerve" Scott has been
in there since the very beginning,

684
00:39:42,246 --> 00:39:45,082
as he is still battling out
with Grimes and Reed.

685
00:39:45,149 --> 00:39:47,885
Isaiah "Swerve" Scott certainly
has stepped up tonight.

686
00:39:47,952 --> 00:39:51,088
[Beth] That's what he's been saying
he's going to do.

687
00:39:51,155 --> 00:39:55,626
This is a critical moment in his career,
when you talk about future opportunities,

688
00:39:55,693 --> 00:39:58,329
but also shutting up the naysayers.

689
00:39:58,963 --> 00:40:02,733
[Vic] Oh! Kicked didn't connect on Scott.
Connected on Reed. Scott now,

690
00:40:02,800 --> 00:40:06,404
trying to take advantage
of Cameron Grimes, to hook up Grimes.

691
00:40:06,470 --> 00:40:11,876
Grimes counters, tosses Scott to Reed.
Superkick to Reed.

692
00:40:11,942 --> 00:40:15,679
[Wade] Every man for himself
and there is point blank.

693
00:40:15,746 --> 00:40:17,148
[Vic] What action!

694
00:40:17,214 --> 00:40:18,482
[all] Oh!

695
00:40:19,483 --> 00:40:24,555
[Vic] Grimes, Scott, Reed,
all three, down.

696
00:40:28,392 --> 00:40:31,796
[audience chanting "NXT"]

697
00:40:33,631 --> 00:40:38,169
[Vic] NXT setting the standard
for the week, the biggest of the year.

698
00:40:38,235 --> 00:40:40,604
Cameron Grimes connecting
with Bronson Reed.

699
00:40:40,671 --> 00:40:42,573
Beth, just take a look at this action.

700
00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:45,109
[Beth] Spectacular opportunistic things.

701
00:40:45,176 --> 00:40:47,011
Check this out, timber.

702
00:40:47,077 --> 00:40:49,246
Bronson Reed crushing
the pile of humanity.

703
00:40:49,313 --> 00:40:52,249
[Wade] All three men were right
for the pickings,

704
00:40:52,316 --> 00:40:55,386
nobody was able to make a pinfall,
so this match continues.

705
00:40:57,488 --> 00:41:00,024
[Vic] Again, Cameron Grimes,
Isaiah "Swerve" Scott.

706
00:41:00,090 --> 00:41:02,760
It was Grimes
who put a little bit of money

707
00:41:02,827 --> 00:41:05,629
in the pocket of Scott earlier tonight.

708
00:41:05,696 --> 00:41:10,034
[Beth] You see Bronson Reed yelling,
"Bring it on. Give me your best shot."

709
00:41:10,100 --> 00:41:14,205
[Wade] Well, the alliance had broken down,
perhaps, they're back together again.

710
00:41:19,310 --> 00:41:20,845
[Vic] Listen to the impact.

711
00:41:22,046 --> 00:41:23,314
[all] Oh!

712
00:41:25,783 --> 00:41:29,420
[Vic] Reed took out Scott,
didn't connect with Grimes. Grimes…

713
00:41:29,487 --> 00:41:31,355
[Wade] Oh! Collision course.

714
00:41:31,422 --> 00:41:35,426
[Vic] Oh, Swerve's house, rocked Grimes.
Swerve now, trying to capitalize.

715
00:41:35,493 --> 00:41:39,897
Grimes able to counter. Rolling through.
Cameron Grimes with the tight--

716
00:41:39,964 --> 00:41:41,632
-No, no, no.
-[Wade] Reversal.

717
00:41:41,699 --> 00:41:44,168
[Vic] Scott reversed. Another elimination.

718
00:41:46,036 --> 00:41:49,440
[female announcer]
Cameron Grimes has been eliminated.

719
00:41:49,507 --> 00:41:51,242
[Wade] He paid the man.

720
00:41:51,308 --> 00:41:55,212
[Beth] Grimes got out-bamboozled
with a handful of tights by Swerve.

721
00:41:55,279 --> 00:41:57,548
[Wade] The price
must have gone up mid-match.

722
00:41:58,349 --> 00:42:01,519
[Vic] We are down to the final two.

723
00:42:01,585 --> 00:42:03,153
[audience cheering]

724
00:42:03,220 --> 00:42:05,122
[Beth] Take a look at this maneuver.

725
00:42:05,189 --> 00:42:08,626
Cameron Grimes followed up
quickly by Swerve.

726
00:42:08,692 --> 00:42:11,495
You see Swerve got the idea
to finish it off,

727
00:42:11,562 --> 00:42:14,665
but Grimes in his attempt
to roll up Swerve

728
00:42:14,732 --> 00:42:17,568
with a handful of tights, got it reversed.

729
00:42:17,635 --> 00:42:20,337
Swerve, that alliance fell apart quickly.

730
00:42:20,404 --> 00:42:23,641
[Vic] The referee did not see
the tights being grabbed.

731
00:42:23,707 --> 00:42:26,710
Now, going right to the body
is Isaiah "Swerve" Scott.

732
00:42:26,777 --> 00:42:30,814
[Wade] Hats off to "Swerve" Scott.
He started this matchup.

733
00:42:30,881 --> 00:42:34,218
He never gets handed anything.
He always has to do it the hard way,

734
00:42:34,285 --> 00:42:37,087
and that's exactly
what he's doing in there tonight,

735
00:42:37,154 --> 00:42:40,024
but this might be over very soon
by the looks of this.

736
00:42:40,090 --> 00:42:41,959
[Vic] Tell you, you got to wonder--

737
00:42:42,026 --> 00:42:45,296
Oh, Bronson Reed standing
on the top ropes.

738
00:42:45,362 --> 00:42:48,198
Scott now, able to cut
Reed off of the pass.

739
00:42:48,265 --> 00:42:51,168
[Wade] All that humanity perched
on the top rope.

740
00:42:51,235 --> 00:42:54,438
This is highly dangerous
for a man the size of Bronson Reed.

741
00:42:54,505 --> 00:42:57,374
-[Vic] Oh, no, no, no.
-[Beth] What's Swerve thinking?

742
00:42:57,441 --> 00:42:58,876
[Vic] There's no way.

743
00:42:58,943 --> 00:43:00,578
[all] Oh! No!

744
00:43:01,879 --> 00:43:06,750
[Vic] The ribs, the back of Bronson Reed.

745
00:43:06,817 --> 00:43:10,487
[Wade] The lower back
of 330 pounds of Reed

746
00:43:10,554 --> 00:43:13,591
bouncing off the corner,
and right off the top rope.

747
00:43:13,657 --> 00:43:15,593
[audience cheering]

748
00:43:15,659 --> 00:43:19,330
[Beth] Swerve here having a moment,
knocking Bronson Reed silly.

749
00:43:19,396 --> 00:43:24,168
It would allow him to get leverage
to hoist Reed's body over

750
00:43:24,234 --> 00:43:26,537
and slam on the hardest part of the ring.

751
00:43:26,604 --> 00:43:29,173
[Wade] It's the top of the pelvis,
the lower back,

752
00:43:29,239 --> 00:43:32,776
right where the point of that canvas
caught Bronson Reed.

753
00:43:32,843 --> 00:43:34,645
This might be a 450 splash.

754
00:43:34,712 --> 00:43:37,047
[Vic] Oh, it's definitely a 450.
Is Scott heading tonight too?

755
00:43:37,114 --> 00:43:38,816
Does he have a date with Gargano?

756
00:43:38,882 --> 00:43:40,951
Reed kicks out at two and a half.

757
00:43:41,018 --> 00:43:44,355
[Wade] Reed at the last second,
just turned the waist slightly,

758
00:43:44,421 --> 00:43:45,889
perhaps taking the impact.

759
00:43:45,956 --> 00:43:50,494
Check out the turn of Reed on this impact,
perhaps, saving himself.

760
00:43:50,561 --> 00:43:52,196
Just a quarter turn-away.

761
00:43:52,262 --> 00:43:55,132
[Beth] Even with all his bodyweight
on his shoulders,

762
00:43:55,199 --> 00:43:58,669
surprisingly, Reed
was able to kick out somehow.

763
00:43:58,736 --> 00:44:01,372
[Wade] That midsection of Reed
is taking a pounding.

764
00:44:03,007 --> 00:44:05,342
[Vic] Scott talking trash to Bronson Reed.

765
00:44:05,409 --> 00:44:07,244
[Wade] House call.

766
00:44:08,679 --> 00:44:11,415
[Vic] House, and there not might be
any lights on

767
00:44:11,482 --> 00:44:15,552
in the house that is Bronson Reed.

768
00:44:16,387 --> 00:44:18,922
[Reed] I like that,
I want you to come back.

769
00:44:18,989 --> 00:44:21,191
[Vic] Another house call.

770
00:44:21,258 --> 00:44:25,462
[Wade] Oh, you've got to admire the guts
and the determination of Bronson Reed.

771
00:44:27,731 --> 00:44:29,867
[referee] Come on, watch the hair, Swerve.

772
00:44:35,739 --> 00:44:37,808
[Vic] Third time, not a charm.

773
00:44:37,875 --> 00:44:40,411
[Wade] Just a little too much smack
than it's worth.

774
00:44:40,477 --> 00:44:45,082
Refusing to be denied.
This is your moment, Swerve.

775
00:44:45,149 --> 00:44:48,419
[Vic] Trifecta, cover.
Scott, is it enough?

776
00:44:48,485 --> 00:44:52,489
Again, how in the hell
did Bronson Reed kick out?

777
00:44:52,556 --> 00:44:53,891
[audience cheering]

778
00:44:53,957 --> 00:44:56,026
[Wade] He should be unconscious.

779
00:44:57,161 --> 00:44:59,296
[Vic] Scott absolutely beside himself.

780
00:44:59,363 --> 00:45:01,932
Now, Scott focusing on that lower back,

781
00:45:01,999 --> 00:45:06,403
focusing on the midsection,
focusing on the ribs of Bronson Reed.

782
00:45:06,470 --> 00:45:09,473
[Beth] Swerve pivoting
his strategy to a submission,

783
00:45:09,540 --> 00:45:12,342
as he has not been able
to effectively keep Reed down.

784
00:45:12,409 --> 00:45:15,379
[Vic] He can't keep Reed down,
the strength with one arm.

785
00:45:15,446 --> 00:45:16,880
[Wade] Oh!

786
00:45:16,947 --> 00:45:19,316
[Vic] The lights might be out for Scott.

787
00:45:19,383 --> 00:45:21,552
Powerbomb, center of the ring.

788
00:45:21,618 --> 00:45:24,788
Reed, no wasted motion,
again, hoisting up Scott.

789
00:45:25,923 --> 00:45:27,157
[all] Whoa!

790
00:45:27,224 --> 00:45:30,761
[Wade] This matchup,
turning on the turn. This is it.

791
00:45:30,828 --> 00:45:34,665
[Vic] We know what's next.
Reed will not be denied.

792
00:45:34,732 --> 00:45:38,802
[Wade] The greatest move in NXT. Tsunami!

793
00:45:38,869 --> 00:45:42,106
[audience shouts "One, two, three"]

794
00:45:42,172 --> 00:45:43,674
[bell rings]

795
00:45:43,741 --> 00:45:47,544
[Vic] Reed is headed to tomorrow night,
and a date with Johnny Gargano.

796
00:45:47,611 --> 00:45:49,046
[Bronson Reed's music plays]

797
00:45:49,113 --> 00:45:52,483
[female announcer] Here is your winner,
"The Colossal" Bronson Reed.

798
00:45:52,549 --> 00:45:56,887
[Vic] Bronson Reed survives the field,
runs the Gauntlet.

799
00:45:56,954 --> 00:46:02,726
Are we looking into the eyes
of the next North American champion?

800
00:46:03,227 --> 00:46:07,431
[Wade] Well, Isaiah "Swerve" Scott
had this one in the bag.

801
00:46:07,498 --> 00:46:09,500
How on earth did it slip away from him?

802
00:46:09,566 --> 00:46:12,836
Thee house calls in a row.
Anyone else, that was over.

803
00:46:12,903 --> 00:46:16,673
[Beth] Let's take a look
at Swerve's efforts early on.

804
00:46:16,740 --> 00:46:20,077
Boom, across the side of Bronson Reed.

805
00:46:20,144 --> 00:46:23,247
For the third time,
he was given an attempt.

806
00:46:23,881 --> 00:46:25,415
[Vic] One wasn't enough, Beth.

807
00:46:25,482 --> 00:46:28,185
Two wasn't enough. Three wasn't enough.

808
00:46:28,252 --> 00:46:32,122
We all sat here and collectively
came out of our seats.

809
00:46:32,189 --> 00:46:37,294
[Wade] There is something
about the durability of this man Reed.

810
00:46:37,361 --> 00:46:41,999
He tastes that opportunity
at the North American champion.

811
00:46:42,065 --> 00:46:46,637
Look at this, graceful,
but huge impact upon landing.

812
00:46:46,703 --> 00:46:49,640
Nobody, nobody will get up from that.

813
00:46:49,706 --> 00:46:51,408
[bell rings]

814
00:46:53,777 --> 00:46:56,580
[hard rock music]

815
00:46:59,149 --> 00:47:02,553
[Vic] There is the champion who now knows,

816
00:47:02,619 --> 00:47:07,491
tomorrow night, exclusively on Peacock,
Johnny Gargano will defend

817
00:47:07,558 --> 00:47:11,595
his North American crown
against Bronson Reed.

818
00:47:21,972 --> 00:47:23,807
[Vic] Speaking of championships,

819
00:47:23,874 --> 00:47:27,177
how about what's coming up
in just a matter of moments?

820
00:47:27,244 --> 00:47:30,948
Walter, 700 plus days as champion.

821
00:47:31,014 --> 00:47:34,852
Can Tommaso Ciampa
turn back the clock to 2018?

822
00:47:34,918 --> 00:47:39,623
Can he beat the unbeatable?
NXT UK Championship match next.

823
00:47:39,690 --> 00:47:41,859
[hard rock music]

824
00:47:44,027 --> 00:47:45,762
Come on!

825
00:47:48,599 --> 00:47:51,935
[epic music]

826
00:47:52,002 --> 00:47:57,574
[Walter] The commanding totalitarian
presence of The Ring General.

827
00:47:58,175 --> 00:48:03,480
The incredible brutality,
the sounds of those impacts.

828
00:48:03,547 --> 00:48:06,049
[Vic] Walter, in one word, unstoppable.

829
00:48:06,116 --> 00:48:08,252
The Ring General is now

830
00:48:08,318 --> 00:48:14,258
the longest reigning
NXT United Kingdom champion of all time.

831
00:48:14,324 --> 00:48:17,928
[General] Look the world over
and find the next challenger for me.

832
00:48:18,462 --> 00:48:22,566
[Vic] The NXT United Kingdom champion

833
00:48:22,633 --> 00:48:25,535
back on American soil.

834
00:48:25,602 --> 00:48:30,007
[General] Tommaso Ciampa, you were
a dominant and a ruthless champion,

835
00:48:30,073 --> 00:48:33,110
but now, you're just a shell
of what you once were.

836
00:48:33,176 --> 00:48:36,613
[Vic] Message sent from The Ring General.

837
00:48:36,680 --> 00:48:40,651
[Ciampa] Walter, sometimes in life,
we need to be reminded of who we are.

838
00:48:40,717 --> 00:48:44,254
There is special,
and then there's Tommaso Ciampa.

839
00:48:44,321 --> 00:48:47,424
[Vic] The most sadistic competitor in NXT.

840
00:48:47,491 --> 00:48:50,060
[Ciampa] I just happen to be

841
00:48:50,127 --> 00:48:56,400
the greatest sports entertainer
of all time.

842
00:48:56,466 --> 00:48:58,502
[Walter] Now, you have
other priorities in life.

843
00:48:58,568 --> 00:49:01,138
It's not the most important thing
in your life anymore.

844
00:49:01,204 --> 00:49:03,440
[Ciampa] The day I went in
for neck surgery,

845
00:49:03,507 --> 00:49:07,344
my wife and my baby girl
gave me this necklace.

846
00:49:07,411 --> 00:49:09,446
Yes, Walter, I've changed.

847
00:49:09,513 --> 00:49:14,751
I rather be a man
who really fights for something,

848
00:49:14,818 --> 00:49:18,555
than a man who fights with nothing to lose
any day of the week.

849
00:49:23,060 --> 00:49:26,296
[General] That's the difference
between you and me

850
00:49:26,363 --> 00:49:29,333
because my commitment is unreached.

851
00:49:29,399 --> 00:49:32,202
You want to know, Walter,
if the blackheart still lives?

852
00:49:32,269 --> 00:49:34,338
You want to know
if the psycho killer still lives?

853
00:49:34,404 --> 00:49:38,909
At TakeOver: Stand & Deliver,
you're going to get your answer,

854
00:49:38,975 --> 00:49:42,646
and it's going to cost you
that NXT UK Championship.

855
00:49:42,713 --> 00:49:45,349
One thing will never change.

856
00:49:45,415 --> 00:49:49,753
That is me being the NXT UK champion.

857
00:49:49,820 --> 00:49:55,425
Walter, it's a long, long
fall from the top.

858
00:50:00,697 --> 00:50:03,700
[Vic] This is the matchup
many have been looking forward to.

859
00:50:03,767 --> 00:50:05,335
Wade, I'll start with you.

860
00:50:05,402 --> 00:50:07,671
Does Ciampa dethrone Walter tonight?

861
00:50:07,738 --> 00:50:11,508
Here's the question. Is the 2018
blackheart Ciampa showing up,

862
00:50:11,575 --> 00:50:15,545
or really, is the other question
that does it matter which Ciampa shows up?

863
00:50:15,612 --> 00:50:19,316
Because Walter has been
unstoppable in NXT UK.

864
00:50:19,383 --> 00:50:21,251
I think Walter did the unthinkable.

865
00:50:21,318 --> 00:50:24,588
He placed his hands on something
that is so meaningful to Ciampa,

866
00:50:24,654 --> 00:50:27,391
and I think, tonight,
Ciampa is going to make him pay.

867
00:50:27,457 --> 00:50:31,094
We will find out. Can Tommaso Ciampa
turn the clock back

868
00:50:31,161 --> 00:50:35,265
and find that blackheart
to once again call himself champion?

869
00:50:39,002 --> 00:50:41,104
COVID-19 changed our way of life,

870
00:50:41,171 --> 00:50:45,442
the way we work, the way we play
and the way we live.

871
00:50:45,509 --> 00:50:49,579
Right now, COVID-19 vaccines are available
to millions of Americans

872
00:50:49,646 --> 00:50:52,349
and soon,
they'll be available for everyone.

873
00:50:52,416 --> 00:50:54,918
Let's get back to our lives
and get vaccinated.

874
00:50:54,985 --> 00:50:57,988
Roll up your sleeve and do
your part for the ones you love.

875
00:50:58,055 --> 00:50:59,389
This is our shot.

876
00:50:59,456 --> 00:51:01,892
And we can do this together.

877
00:51:08,965 --> 00:51:11,902
[repeated beeping]

878
00:51:17,574 --> 00:51:20,944
[Tommaso Ciampa's theme plays]

879
00:51:24,681 --> 00:51:27,384
[Vic] We are back on the USA Network,

880
00:51:27,451 --> 00:51:31,388
and are we looking
at the next United Kingdom champion?

881
00:51:39,963 --> 00:51:44,201
All hail the queen, Teresa Mendoza
is finally back to claim her throne.

882
00:51:44,267 --> 00:51:48,138
Don't miss a moment of the must-see
final season of Queen of the South,

883
00:51:48,205 --> 00:51:52,008
premieres tonight after NXT on USA.

884
00:51:54,611 --> 00:51:58,081
Beth, you talked about it
moments ago on Peacock,

885
00:51:58,148 --> 00:52:01,718
what has Walter woken up
in Tommaso Ciampa?

886
00:52:01,785 --> 00:52:03,420
[Beth] Well, Walter put his hands

887
00:52:03,487 --> 00:52:05,722
on the necklace
that his daughter and his wife gave him,

888
00:52:05,789 --> 00:52:09,493
it set off a chain of events, gears
in motion, unleashed the psycho killer.

889
00:52:09,559 --> 00:52:12,395
Adam and I have known Ciampa
for a long time.

890
00:52:12,462 --> 00:52:16,366
You don't understand. As a parent,
a gift from your child is like a talisman,

891
00:52:16,433 --> 00:52:18,401
a reminder when the world gets you down,

892
00:52:18,468 --> 00:52:20,604
of who you are getting back up for.

893
00:52:20,670 --> 00:52:24,074
Tonight, your streak ends.

894
00:52:26,309 --> 00:52:28,645
[Vic] Ciampa, very confident right now.

895
00:52:28,712 --> 00:52:30,847
[Wade] I'm going
to be honest with you, Beth,

896
00:52:30,914 --> 00:52:32,916
you're proving Walter's point here.

897
00:52:32,983 --> 00:52:36,419
Ciampa's sole focus
is no longer competition.

898
00:52:36,486 --> 00:52:38,822
He splits his time with family now.

899
00:52:38,889 --> 00:52:40,957
Walter though is a true competitor,

900
00:52:41,024 --> 00:52:45,762
hasn't allowed the destruction
of family to soften him up.

901
00:52:45,829 --> 00:52:49,699
[Walter's theme plays]

902
00:52:51,735 --> 00:52:54,905
[audience booing]

903
00:53:05,782 --> 00:53:10,720
[Vic] Two years, two days
as NXT United Kingdom champion,

904
00:53:10,787 --> 00:53:13,056
the longest champion of the modern era.

905
00:53:13,123 --> 00:53:19,896
There has not been a reign of two years
as champion in WWE since the 1980s.

906
00:53:19,963 --> 00:53:23,934
[Beth] Unbelievable presence by Walter.
I just want to go back quick.

907
00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:26,503
Did you say family softens you up, Wade?

908
00:53:26,570 --> 00:53:28,805
[Wade] Apparently it did
with Tommaso Ciampa.

909
00:53:28,872 --> 00:53:32,709
[Beth] Are you joking? Your child isn't
a distraction, it drives your heart.

910
00:53:32,776 --> 00:53:35,912
Your child's presence
is a primal instinct that nothing else--

911
00:53:35,979 --> 00:53:39,583
Have you ever confronted
a mama bear or a papa bear before?

912
00:53:39,649 --> 00:53:42,018
[Wade] No,
I avoid the environment, my dear.

913
00:53:42,085 --> 00:53:44,788
[Beth] Well, that's Tommaso Ciampa
tonight, papa bear.

914
00:53:44,854 --> 00:53:47,057
He's been slighted by Walter

915
00:53:47,123 --> 00:53:49,993
and I wouldn't be surprised
if Ciampa tore him up.

916
00:53:51,394 --> 00:53:54,364
[inaudible]

917
00:54:08,178 --> 00:54:12,048
[audience clapping and cheering]

918
00:54:12,115 --> 00:54:13,216
[bell rings]

919
00:54:13,283 --> 00:54:16,453
[female announcer] The following contest
scheduled for one fall

920
00:54:16,519 --> 00:54:22,292
is for the NXT
United Kingdom Championship.

921
00:54:24,794 --> 00:54:29,366
Introducing the challenger,
from Milwaukee, Wisconsin,

922
00:54:29,432 --> 00:54:36,239
weighing in at 201 pounds, Tommaso Ciampa.

923
00:54:39,376 --> 00:54:44,681
His opponent, from Vienna, Austria,
weighing in at 297 pounds,

924
00:54:44,748 --> 00:54:47,884
representing Imperium,

925
00:54:47,951 --> 00:54:54,891
he is the NXT
United Kingdom champion, Walter.

926
00:54:56,860 --> 00:54:59,829
[audience booing]

927
00:54:59,896 --> 00:55:03,800
[Vic] Beth, can Tommaso Ciampa
climb the mountain that is Walter?

928
00:55:04,334 --> 00:55:06,303
[Beth] Ciampa has to do that tonight.

929
00:55:06,369 --> 00:55:10,006
There's so many doubters
all around him saying that--

930
00:55:10,073 --> 00:55:13,209
He said it himself, they
consider him a broken man.

931
00:55:13,276 --> 00:55:16,212
Tonight, he is
in the best shape of his life.

932
00:55:16,279 --> 00:55:18,415
I mean, look at this man head to toe.

933
00:55:18,481 --> 00:55:22,619
This is the 2018 Tommaso Ciampa,
the psycho killer's unleashed.

934
00:55:22,686 --> 00:55:27,023
[Wade] Let's note he is back in trunks
for the first time in a long time.

935
00:55:27,090 --> 00:55:29,559
Maybe he really is turning back the clock.

936
00:55:29,626 --> 00:55:34,931
[crowd chants, "Let's go Ciampa"]

937
00:55:39,135 --> 00:55:43,373
[Vic] Eyes of the world
on NXT TakeOver: Stand & Deliver tonight,

938
00:55:43,440 --> 00:55:46,810
including Drew McIntyre,
a former NXT champion,

939
00:55:46,876 --> 00:55:50,146
who's just days away
from his WWE clash with Bobby Lashley

940
00:55:50,213 --> 00:55:52,482
at Wrestlemania for the WWE title.

941
00:55:52,549 --> 00:55:56,920
He is expecting absolute carnage
in this matchup, via social media.

942
00:55:56,986 --> 00:55:59,422
[Wade] He's been in the ring
with both men before

943
00:55:59,489 --> 00:56:02,659
and they grew very well. Speaks
very highly of the pair of these two.

944
00:56:05,161 --> 00:56:07,630
[Vic] Again, the NXT Universe
in this matchup,

945
00:56:07,697 --> 00:56:10,467
right in the corner of Tommaso Ciampa.

946
00:56:10,533 --> 00:56:13,036
Ciampa's got to be worried
of the chops of Walter,

947
00:56:13,103 --> 00:56:17,073
the strength of Walter, and Ciampa,
in the best shape of his career.

948
00:56:17,140 --> 00:56:20,076
When you talk to him,
he knows what he has to do tonight.

949
00:56:20,143 --> 00:56:22,412
He is focused on toppling Walter

950
00:56:22,479 --> 00:56:24,447
and right into the headlock goes Ciampa.

951
00:56:24,514 --> 00:56:25,949
Ciampa, Beth, no stranger.

952
00:56:26,015 --> 00:56:29,018
It's been over 200 days as NXT champion.

953
00:56:29,085 --> 00:56:33,757
[Beth] A championship
that he did not physically lose,

954
00:56:33,823 --> 00:56:37,460
and he knows what it takes
to get to that point once again.

955
00:56:37,527 --> 00:56:38,895
Ciampa backed up by Walter.

956
00:56:38,962 --> 00:56:41,264
Walter the larger of the two competitors,

957
00:56:41,331 --> 00:56:44,134
called Tommaso Ciampa a shell of himself.

958
00:56:44,200 --> 00:56:48,171
[Wade] Tommaso Ciampa, at the moment,
staying clear from those chops of Walter.

959
00:56:48,238 --> 00:56:50,707
[Vic] Look at Ciampa,
laying on Walter now,

960
00:56:50,774 --> 00:56:53,610
beating down the champion.
This is the old Tommaso Ciampa.

961
00:56:53,676 --> 00:56:55,945
This is the blackheart
oozing through the pores.

962
00:56:57,447 --> 00:57:00,517
You wanted this? You want the blackheart?

963
00:57:00,583 --> 00:57:02,752
Come on. Hey, come on.

964
00:57:02,819 --> 00:57:04,154
[Vic] Ciampa picking up--

965
00:57:04,220 --> 00:57:06,523
Oh! Man!

966
00:57:10,360 --> 00:57:13,029
Just like that.

967
00:57:13,096 --> 00:57:16,366
[audience chanting "Walter"]

968
00:57:16,433 --> 00:57:18,902
[Vic] Walter with one chop,
changes everything.

969
00:57:18,968 --> 00:57:20,904
[Wade] It was that easy.

970
00:57:25,542 --> 00:57:29,312
Now Walter. Look at Walter, oh my--

971
00:57:31,748 --> 00:57:34,384
[Wade] Treating Tommaso Ciampa
like garbage.

972
00:57:34,451 --> 00:57:36,352
[Vic] Listen to this.

973
00:57:41,090 --> 00:57:45,595
And one more for good measure.

974
00:57:46,362 --> 00:57:49,866
[Wade] Walter caught Tommaso Ciampa
twice with that chop.

975
00:57:49,933 --> 00:57:52,569
In the build up to this match,
Ciampa had no answer,

976
00:57:52,635 --> 00:57:55,772
but finally, we get a response
from Ciampa right in front of us.

977
00:57:55,839 --> 00:57:58,741
-[Vic] Right in front of us.
-[Wade] I'll move well back away.

978
00:58:01,044 --> 00:58:04,981
-[all] Oh!
-[Wade] He's broke our desk.

979
00:58:06,583 --> 00:58:07,750
[Vic] Walter…

980
00:58:10,353 --> 00:58:14,023
literally just put
his hand through our table

981
00:58:14,090 --> 00:58:17,060
and now Ciampa,
right on top of the champion again.

982
00:58:17,126 --> 00:58:19,262
Ciampa trying to chop down Walter.

983
00:58:19,329 --> 00:58:21,364
[Wade] Look at the state of the desk.

984
00:58:21,431 --> 00:58:25,668
[Vic] Oh, Walter, just the physical
presence of Walter.

985
00:58:25,735 --> 00:58:29,305
[Wade] If he does that to our desk,
what will it do to a man's chest?

986
00:58:29,372 --> 00:58:31,708
[Beth] Literally like an axe through wood.

987
00:58:33,176 --> 00:58:35,912
Ciampa, the blood being driven
out of his body.

988
00:58:35,979 --> 00:58:37,814
[Wade] There's splinters everywhere.

989
00:58:37,881 --> 00:58:42,051
[Vic] Ciampa looking for Willow's bell,
trying to hit Willow's bell is Ciampa.

990
00:58:42,118 --> 00:58:44,053
[Wade] He needs to end this one quickly.

991
00:58:44,120 --> 00:58:46,956
[Vic] Walter able to overpower
and overmatch Ciampa

992
00:58:47,023 --> 00:58:48,558
all the way across the ring.

993
00:58:48,625 --> 00:58:53,830
Walter continuing
to now physically dominate Ciampa.

994
00:58:53,897 --> 00:58:55,832
[referee] Three! Four!

995
00:58:55,899 --> 00:59:00,470
[Vic] The leader of Imperium who believes
the mat is sacred, the purist--

996
00:59:00,537 --> 00:59:05,008
Oh! Ciampa able to block
the last chop with his elbow.

997
00:59:05,074 --> 00:59:08,378
[Wade] He needed to do something,
that was game over if he didn't.

998
00:59:08,444 --> 00:59:12,215
[Vic] Walter now could be wounded
after putting his hand through the desk.

999
00:59:12,282 --> 00:59:16,819
Ciampa trying to hoist up Walter.
Ciampa trying to hoist up the champion.

1000
00:59:17,854 --> 00:59:20,957
[Beth] Too much damage
had been done earlier in the match.

1001
00:59:21,024 --> 00:59:23,426
[Wade] Walter is too much of a gargantuan.

1002
00:59:24,260 --> 00:59:28,598
[Vic] Walter, again, trying his best,
but Ciampa, with the injured hand.

1003
00:59:28,665 --> 00:59:31,634
Look at the kicks. Relentless is Ciampa.

1004
00:59:31,701 --> 00:59:34,337
[Wade] Walter might have
a broken metacarpal here.

1005
00:59:36,072 --> 00:59:41,544
[Vic] Ciampa, a different man fighting
for different things this time around.

1006
00:59:41,611 --> 00:59:44,814
[Beth] The relentless attack,
we know what's driving him.

1007
00:59:46,282 --> 00:59:51,654
[Vic] That boot to the face
almost went right through Tommaso Ciampa,

1008
00:59:51,721 --> 00:59:54,357
but look at Walter. Walter is wounded.

1009
00:59:54,424 --> 00:59:58,528
Look at the welts forming
on the chest of the champion,

1010
00:59:58,595 --> 01:00:02,832
but you can also see the welts
forming under the jaw of the challenger.

1011
01:00:02,899 --> 01:00:06,869
[Wade] I don't know if that was strategy
or luck on the side of Ciampa,

1012
01:00:06,936 --> 01:00:09,405
but he's effectively taken away

1013
01:00:09,472 --> 01:00:12,775
one of Walter's biggest piece
of artillery, which is those chops.

1014
01:00:12,842 --> 01:00:14,944
[Beth] Please, look at this, guys.

1015
01:00:15,011 --> 01:00:19,148
The massive hand just chopping the wood
of the desk like it was nothing.

1016
01:00:19,215 --> 01:00:24,053
[Wade] I been in and around
WWE NXT for the past 14 years,

1017
01:00:24,120 --> 01:00:25,421
I've never seen that before.

1018
01:00:25,488 --> 01:00:29,826
Now, with a half Boston,
center of the ring is a huge Walter.

1019
01:00:29,892 --> 01:00:34,764
[Vic] He is huge, Walter. Notice Walter,
the inability to use his right hand.

1020
01:00:34,831 --> 01:00:38,601
Even the slightest touch from Ciampa,
Walter's pulling back.

1021
01:00:38,668 --> 01:00:41,571
[Wade] He's lost the chop.
He's lost all grip strength too.

1022
01:00:41,638 --> 01:00:44,374
[Vic] Tommaso Ciampa trying
now to fight a little bit underneath.

1023
01:00:44,440 --> 01:00:47,443
Another boot connects
under the jaw of the challenger.

1024
01:00:47,510 --> 01:00:49,645
[Wade] That is one thing he hasn't lost

1025
01:00:49,712 --> 01:00:55,118
and that might be his only pathway
to attaining the NXT UK Championship here.

1026
01:00:55,184 --> 01:01:00,056
[Vic] Just take a look at our table,
at this juncture of the night.

1027
01:01:00,123 --> 01:01:02,392
[Wade] I've never seen that before, Vic.

1028
01:01:02,458 --> 01:01:04,894
Fourteen years in WWE,
that has never happened.

1029
01:01:07,864 --> 01:01:10,967
[Vic] Walter again imposing his due will.

1030
01:01:11,034 --> 01:01:14,337
Over 730 days as champion,

1031
01:01:14,404 --> 01:01:18,808
the battles with Tyler Bate,
with Dragunov, who have all pushed Walter.

1032
01:01:18,875 --> 01:01:22,812
Some have said, Wade,
that Ciampa is kind of a combo of both.

1033
01:01:22,879 --> 01:01:26,816
[Wade] Bate and Dragunov, you can sum up
with the word strength and tenacity.

1034
01:01:26,883 --> 01:01:32,922
Ciampa has both in spades, but perhaps
edges both in terms of experience.

1035
01:01:32,989 --> 01:01:36,259
Not that that's doing him much good
at this point in the match.

1036
01:01:36,325 --> 01:01:39,929
[Vic] Look at Walter's entire career
here in NXT,

1037
01:01:39,996 --> 01:01:43,032
whether it's on Black and Gold brand
or NXT UK,

1038
01:01:43,099 --> 01:01:46,736
I don't believe anyone
has been able to damage Walter

1039
01:01:46,803 --> 01:01:49,972
the way that Ciampa has in this matchup.

1040
01:01:50,039 --> 01:01:53,276
[Beth] Ciampa was perhaps,
somebody that Walter was looking past,

1041
01:01:53,342 --> 01:01:56,746
you heard at the pre-show saying
Ciampa's the next big challenge.

1042
01:01:56,813 --> 01:01:59,749
Looking ahead,
he was looking to axe Ciampa.

1043
01:01:59,816 --> 01:02:02,919
[Vic] Can Tommaso Ciampa
re-find that killer instinct?

1044
01:02:02,985 --> 01:02:08,124
What a knee by Walter and
it buckled the knees of the challenger.

1045
01:02:10,793 --> 01:02:13,529
[Wade] The audience here
in the Capitol Wrestling Center

1046
01:02:13,596 --> 01:02:15,998
making their opinion loud and clear.

1047
01:02:16,065 --> 01:02:18,201
Clearly not happy with Walter,

1048
01:02:18,267 --> 01:02:20,903
but the respect this man commands
around the world--

1049
01:02:20,970 --> 01:02:23,973
I've shared locker rooms
with this man before over in Europe

1050
01:02:24,040 --> 01:02:27,110
and just the fear and respect
when he walks in the room,

1051
01:02:27,176 --> 01:02:30,613
and this is why he can
dominate the best like Ciampa.

1052
01:02:30,680 --> 01:02:32,648
[crowd chants, "Let's go, Ciampa"]

1053
01:02:32,715 --> 01:02:35,685
[crowd chants, "Let's go, Walter"]

1054
01:02:35,752 --> 01:02:39,555
[Vic] NXT Universe trying to rally
Tommaso Ciampa.

1055
01:02:40,690 --> 01:02:43,659
Ciampa able to duck the shot,
turns around with a clothesline.

1056
01:02:43,726 --> 01:02:47,430
Walter now rocked for a moment.
Ciampa again connects.

1057
01:02:47,497 --> 01:02:49,665
[Wade] Ciampa unsteady on his feet though.

1058
01:02:49,732 --> 01:02:54,070
Can he follow this up with something
big enough to take Walter off his feet?

1059
01:02:54,670 --> 01:02:55,972
[all] Oh!

1060
01:02:56,038 --> 01:02:59,642
[Beth] You could see the skin
across the chest of Walter lit up red.

1061
01:03:01,077 --> 01:03:04,380
[Vic] Ciampa continuing
to try to chop down Walter.

1062
01:03:04,447 --> 01:03:07,216
Can he topple the big man here tonight?

1063
01:03:16,092 --> 01:03:21,898
Ciampa again continuing
the offensive onslaught onto Walter.

1064
01:03:21,964 --> 01:03:26,235
Walter again clocked from behind.

1065
01:03:26,302 --> 01:03:29,605
Ciampa trying to run
right through the champion.

1066
01:03:29,672 --> 01:03:31,207
[Wade] The pace is quickening.

1067
01:03:31,274 --> 01:03:33,743
Tommaso Ciampa somehow, from somewhere,

1068
01:03:33,810 --> 01:03:36,612
fInding a second
or maybe a fifth wind at this point.

1069
01:03:36,679 --> 01:03:39,482
[Beth] Walter somehow
continuing to stay on his feet.

1070
01:03:41,083 --> 01:03:45,154
[Wade] I don't know where Ciampa is
getting this endurance from at this point.

1071
01:03:45,221 --> 01:03:47,657
-He's running a marathon in there.
-[Vic] Boom!

1072
01:03:47,723 --> 01:03:50,226
[Beth] Ciampa being a human sledgehammer.

1073
01:03:50,293 --> 01:03:52,895
[Vic] Ciampa will not be denied.

1074
01:03:58,801 --> 01:04:00,503
[Beth] You guys keeping count?

1075
01:04:01,938 --> 01:04:04,373
[Wade] He took about six nails
at this point.

1076
01:04:11,581 --> 01:04:15,051
Oh! That's all it took, or is it?

1077
01:04:15,117 --> 01:04:17,854
-[Vic] Ciampa's back to his feet.
-[Wade] Oh!

1078
01:04:17,920 --> 01:04:22,792
[Vic] You wanted the 2018
psycho killer? Walter, you got him.

1079
01:04:22,859 --> 01:04:25,695
Ciampa hoisting up Walter.

1080
01:04:25,761 --> 01:04:30,166
Ciampa driving the champion down.

1081
01:04:31,133 --> 01:04:33,769
Cover. Do we have a new champion?

1082
01:04:38,307 --> 01:04:41,510
[audience cheering]

1083
01:04:42,411 --> 01:04:45,381
[Vic] Tommaso Ciampa
looking to become the first superstar

1084
01:04:45,448 --> 01:04:50,720
to win the NXT
and NXT United Kingdom champions.

1085
01:04:50,786 --> 01:04:54,023
[crowd chants, "This is awesome"]

1086
01:04:54,090 --> 01:04:56,392
[Vic] This indeed is awesome.

1087
01:04:56,459 --> 01:05:00,563
[Beth] No doubt that the fire
has been lit in Tommaso Ciampa,

1088
01:05:00,630 --> 01:05:02,365
fInding the strength

1089
01:05:02,431 --> 01:05:05,701
to hoist the body of Walter
in the air and drop him.

1090
01:05:05,768 --> 01:05:08,204
[Vic] Ciampa now, a couple
of succession of knees,

1091
01:05:08,271 --> 01:05:10,273
trying to hook in the fairy tale ending.

1092
01:05:10,339 --> 01:05:11,774
Can Ciampa hoist up Walter?

1093
01:05:11,841 --> 01:05:14,210
Walter, though,
hoisting up the challenger.

1094
01:05:14,977 --> 01:05:18,381
Oh! Shoulders down, title on the line.

1095
01:05:18,447 --> 01:05:22,318
Ciampa able to roll through, but look
at Ciampa, trying not to break the hold.

1096
01:05:22,385 --> 01:05:24,720
Walter trying to break it
with Walter's hand.

1097
01:05:24,787 --> 01:05:26,722
[Wade] Walter cannot get
his way out of this.

1098
01:05:26,789 --> 01:05:29,692
This is the most precarious position
Walter has found himself

1099
01:05:29,759 --> 01:05:33,029
in in his entire reign
over two years as a champ.

1100
01:05:33,095 --> 01:05:38,100
[Vic] Ciampa is energized. Ciampa, oh, my!

1101
01:05:40,603 --> 01:05:45,241
I don't believe anyone has ever,

1102
01:05:45,308 --> 01:05:49,111
ever been that close to dethroning Walter.

1103
01:05:49,178 --> 01:05:53,115
You could've slid a piece of paper
under the official's hand.

1104
01:05:53,182 --> 01:05:55,084
[Wade] The question is

1105
01:05:55,151 --> 01:05:59,622
what on earth can The General Walter
do at this point with a limp hand?

1106
01:05:59,689 --> 01:06:02,959
-His best weapon is gone.
-[Vic] Oh, what a knee.

1107
01:06:03,025 --> 01:06:06,362
[Wade] Look at the momentum
behind Tommaso Ciampa. Come on, Tommaso.

1108
01:06:06,429 --> 01:06:10,199
[Vic] A knee to the side of Walter's face.
He's staggering back to his feet.

1109
01:06:10,266 --> 01:06:13,169
He caught Ciampa.
He caught Ciampa going for the sleeper,

1110
01:06:13,235 --> 01:06:16,939
but Ciampa right back to the finger,
trying to bend back that injured hand.

1111
01:06:17,006 --> 01:06:20,009
Walter having to relinquishing
the hold. Walter with one arm.

1112
01:06:20,076 --> 01:06:23,079
-[Wade] Back on that move.
-[referee] Hands on the rope, Walter.

1113
01:06:23,145 --> 01:06:25,448
[Vic] Ciampa gets to the rope,
breaks the hold.

1114
01:06:25,514 --> 01:06:28,784
-[Wade] German suplex release.
-[Vic] What a clothesline.

1115
01:06:28,851 --> 01:06:34,623
Walter, after that huge lariat
into the cover, Ciampa kicks out.

1116
01:06:37,593 --> 01:06:40,730
[Beth] What an incredible moment here.

1117
01:06:40,796 --> 01:06:44,000
You see Ciampa dumped high on that neck.

1118
01:06:44,066 --> 01:06:48,237
Once again followed up so quickly.
It was not enough.

1119
01:06:48,304 --> 01:06:51,474
How on earth did Ciampa
kick out after that?

1120
01:06:52,641 --> 01:06:54,877
[Wade] That hand is in a mess.

1121
01:06:54,944 --> 01:06:58,848
Look at the state of Walter, running
through that rolodex of moves in his head.

1122
01:06:58,914 --> 01:07:01,484
What can he do
without the use of that right hand?

1123
01:07:01,550 --> 01:07:03,786
[Vic] He's only got one hand, does Walter.

1124
01:07:03,853 --> 01:07:07,089
Walter now looking for the powerbomb.
Ciampa trying to block it,

1125
01:07:07,156 --> 01:07:10,693
but again, Walter's strength,
to your point, Wade, and look at the hand.

1126
01:07:10,760 --> 01:07:14,196
-[Wade] He gave it away.
-[Vic] Ciampa doing anything he can.

1127
01:07:14,263 --> 01:07:16,599
Walter, oh, kick to the spine.

1128
01:07:17,800 --> 01:07:20,403
Walter right back in with a forearm.

1129
01:07:20,469 --> 01:07:23,005
Ciampa staggered now. Another clothesline.

1130
01:07:23,072 --> 01:07:25,341
Ciampa looking for the submission.

1131
01:07:25,408 --> 01:07:30,346
[Wade] What a wrench on that wrist.
The damage, the hand is pulled back.

1132
01:07:30,413 --> 01:07:33,449
[Vic] Is Walter going to tap out?
Walter center of the ring.

1133
01:07:33,516 --> 01:07:37,553
Ciampa's bending. Ciampa's fighting
trying to find that killer instinct.

1134
01:07:37,620 --> 01:07:41,023
[Beth] Ciampa digging deep and driving,
thinking about his daughter,

1135
01:07:41,090 --> 01:07:44,160
the disrespect when Walter
put his hands on that necklace.

1136
01:07:44,226 --> 01:07:46,429
[Vic] Walter able to get
to the bottom rope.

1137
01:07:46,495 --> 01:07:49,965
Ciampa's still holding on to the fingers,
still bending back the hand.

1138
01:07:50,032 --> 01:07:51,901
[Wade] He's got a count of five, Vic.

1139
01:07:51,967 --> 01:07:53,169
[referee] You alright?

1140
01:07:53,235 --> 01:07:56,806
[Vic] Ciampa using every second
of that count of five.

1141
01:07:56,872 --> 01:08:01,977
[Wade] Walter is in complete disarray.
Nobody wrote this one.

1142
01:08:02,044 --> 01:08:04,547
This was not in the stars for the evening.

1143
01:08:04,613 --> 01:08:08,217
[Beth] Can you believe seeing Walter
in the fetal position like this?

1144
01:08:08,284 --> 01:08:10,186
[Vic] It certainly feels like 2018.

1145
01:08:10,252 --> 01:08:12,855
[Wade] He's totally
not covering himself up.

1146
01:08:13,622 --> 01:08:15,724
[Vic] Ciampa trying to stay composed.

1147
01:08:15,791 --> 01:08:19,395
Does not want to get himself
disqualified in this matchup.

1148
01:08:19,462 --> 01:08:21,797
[Wade] Ciampa's not even breathing heavy.

1149
01:08:21,864 --> 01:08:23,732
[Beth] That's the conditioning.

1150
01:08:23,799 --> 01:08:26,102
[Vic] Ciampa again,
looking for Willow's bell.

1151
01:08:26,168 --> 01:08:28,370
Walter though almost out of desperation.

1152
01:08:29,371 --> 01:08:32,875
[Wade] Throws across the top rope
there. Just genius from Walter.

1153
01:08:32,942 --> 01:08:37,146
He had to pull something out of the bag.
He was about to lose the UK Championship.

1154
01:08:37,213 --> 01:08:40,716
[Beth] We know the history of injury
of Tommaso Ciampa's neck,

1155
01:08:40,783 --> 01:08:44,320
and Walter targeting that
like a shark to blood.

1156
01:08:44,386 --> 01:08:49,325
[Wade] Oh, these left hands might
not have as much power as the right,

1157
01:08:49,391 --> 01:08:51,026
but simply effective.

1158
01:08:51,093 --> 01:08:55,264
The bruising opening up
on the chest of Tommaso Ciampa.

1159
01:08:55,331 --> 01:08:57,433
[Vic] Ciampa back to the hand.
To the hand.

1160
01:08:57,500 --> 01:08:59,201
-[Wade] Whoa.
-[Vic] Wait now.

1161
01:08:59,268 --> 01:09:00,970
[Vic] Challenger relentless.

1162
01:09:01,036 --> 01:09:05,140
Walter with one headbutt,
rocking back the challenger.

1163
01:09:05,207 --> 01:09:08,644
[Beth] Walter is all
about quality not quantity.

1164
01:09:08,711 --> 01:09:12,081
-[crowd chants, "Let's go, Walter"]
-[crowd chants, "Let's go, Ciampa"]

1165
01:09:12,148 --> 01:09:15,284
[Vic] Take a look at the Capitol
Wrestling Center. NXT TakeOver.

1166
01:09:15,351 --> 01:09:19,455
NXT TakeOver, the number one trend
right now in the United States.

1167
01:09:19,522 --> 01:09:24,360
Can Ciampa prove to be
the number one man in the United Kingdom?

1168
01:09:24,426 --> 01:09:27,830
He's got to get through Walter
who's never lost a one-on-one matchup.

1169
01:09:27,897 --> 01:09:28,964
Walter now teetering.

1170
01:09:29,031 --> 01:09:31,901
Oh, my god. Ciampa, Ciampa, Ciampa.

1171
01:09:31,967 --> 01:09:33,736
Holding onto Walter.

1172
01:09:33,802 --> 01:09:35,538
[Wade] Oh!

1173
01:09:35,604 --> 01:09:38,607
[Vic] Ciampa into the cover. Two,

1174
01:09:38,674 --> 01:09:41,710
Oh! Come on.

1175
01:09:41,777 --> 01:09:46,515
[Wade] If that didn't do it,
what on earth will put Walter away?

1176
01:09:46,582 --> 01:09:49,385
[Beth] Take a look
at this spectacular moment.

1177
01:09:49,451 --> 01:09:52,888
In mid-air, holding
the bodyweight of Walter

1178
01:09:52,955 --> 01:09:57,593
with his own weight crashing down,
and yet, Walter continues to survive.

1179
01:09:57,660 --> 01:10:02,898
[Wade] We are witnessing
two beasts colliding in this ring.

1180
01:10:02,965 --> 01:10:06,769
[crowd chants, "Fight forever"]

1181
01:10:11,974 --> 01:10:16,745
[Vic] "Fight forever" ringing out
throughout the Capitol Wrestling Center.

1182
01:10:16,812 --> 01:10:19,582
[Vic] It's almost getting inhumane
at this point, Vic.

1183
01:10:23,819 --> 01:10:26,622
[Beth] I told you this was going
to be animalistic, Wade.

1184
01:10:26,689 --> 01:10:30,960
[Vic] We know Tommaso Ciampa
is battle tested, as is Walter.

1185
01:10:31,026 --> 01:10:35,698
Both would have to bring
their very best here tonight.

1186
01:10:41,870 --> 01:10:45,574
You can see the blood blisters
forming on the chest of Walter.

1187
01:10:45,641 --> 01:10:48,577
[Wade] There's nothing Walter
can do at this point. Agony--

1188
01:10:48,644 --> 01:10:50,846
Wait a minute. Busted through that one.

1189
01:10:50,913 --> 01:10:53,549
[Vic] Walter able to step through.
Walter, though.

1190
01:10:53,616 --> 01:10:59,221
Oh! Answering back with the left hand.
Ciampa continuing to fight.

1191
01:10:59,288 --> 01:11:03,525
[Wade] Those lefts from Walter do not have
the same impact as those rights.

1192
01:11:05,294 --> 01:11:06,929
[Vic] Walter catching Ciampa.

1193
01:11:06,996 --> 01:11:10,199
Walter, now, just trying to keep
Ciampa down.

1194
01:11:10,266 --> 01:11:13,702
Walter now, looking for the pin,
trying to use his size.

1195
01:11:13,769 --> 01:11:17,306
Look at the neck,
look at the strength. Oh!

1196
01:11:18,907 --> 01:11:20,509
[Wade] Oh, the boot on the jaw.

1197
01:11:21,277 --> 01:11:24,113
[Vic] Oh! Beth, you brought up
the neck surgeries,

1198
01:11:24,179 --> 01:11:27,383
the injury history. Walter doesn't care.

1199
01:11:27,449 --> 01:11:28,517
Powerbomb.

1200
01:11:28,584 --> 01:11:30,219
[Wade] Just a volley of moves,

1201
01:11:30,286 --> 01:11:34,023
attacking the upper back
and neck of Tommaso Ciampa.

1202
01:11:34,089 --> 01:11:35,924
Once again, another powerbomb.

1203
01:11:35,991 --> 01:11:39,828
[Vic] Cover. Count. Ciampa kicked out.

1204
01:11:42,564 --> 01:11:45,701
[crowd chants, "Ciampa"]

1205
01:11:50,306 --> 01:11:53,809
[crowd chants, "This is awesome"]

1206
01:11:58,313 --> 01:12:02,117
[crowd chants, "This is awesome"]

1207
01:12:06,655 --> 01:12:08,457
[Vic] This indeed is awesome.

1208
01:12:08,524 --> 01:12:11,960
Oh! Ciampa turned inside out by Walter.

1209
01:12:12,027 --> 01:12:15,331
-[Vic] Ciampa back to his feet.
-[Wade] Manages to rise again.

1210
01:12:15,397 --> 01:12:18,834
Dropped Ciampa, cover, Walter retains.

1211
01:12:18,901 --> 01:12:22,638
-[bell rings]
-[Walter's music plays]

1212
01:12:22,705 --> 01:12:25,040
[female announcer] Here is your winner,

1213
01:12:25,107 --> 01:12:29,812
and still the NXT United Kingdom champion,

1214
01:12:29,878 --> 01:12:32,481
Walter.

1215
01:12:33,749 --> 01:12:39,355
[Vic] You can never question
the heart of Tommaso Ciampa

1216
01:12:39,421 --> 01:12:43,058
who just left everything in the ring.

1217
01:12:43,125 --> 01:12:46,895
[Beth] One of the most stunning,
physical encounters

1218
01:12:46,962 --> 01:12:50,232
I have ever witnessed on NXT TakeOver.

1219
01:12:50,299 --> 01:12:55,304
Both of these men brought it
to a new level in the ring tonight.

1220
01:12:56,205 --> 01:13:00,609
[Wade] I said that family
had made Tommaso Ciampa soft.

1221
01:13:00,676 --> 01:13:06,849
I was wrong. Tommaso Ciampa just fought
himself through things nobody else would.

1222
01:13:06,915 --> 01:13:09,284
[Beth] Speaking of putting something
through wood,

1223
01:13:09,351 --> 01:13:10,853
let's take a look at this over here.

1224
01:13:10,919 --> 01:13:16,392
Boom! You see Walter's hand literally
chopping our announce desk in half.

1225
01:13:16,458 --> 01:13:18,327
[Wade] Take another glimpse here.

1226
01:13:18,394 --> 01:13:23,065
Tommaso Ciampa attacking
that right fist of Walter.

1227
01:13:23,866 --> 01:13:27,102
[Beth] In this moment here
was Ciampa's best opportunity

1228
01:13:27,169 --> 01:13:29,705
at besting the NXT UK champion.

1229
01:13:29,772 --> 01:13:32,207
In this moment, getting up
after everything happening--

1230
01:13:32,274 --> 01:13:35,277
just the last second, Walter kicked out.

1231
01:13:36,779 --> 01:13:42,251
[Wade] The falling powerbomb attempt,
tight pinfall, cover from Walter.

1232
01:13:42,317 --> 01:13:43,485
Not enough.

1233
01:13:43,552 --> 01:13:48,824
Really questioning what on earth
was it going to take to put away Ciampa.

1234
01:13:48,891 --> 01:13:54,396
We saw this German suplex followed up
by a right hand, bare ball to the chest.

1235
01:13:55,731 --> 01:13:59,668
That was finally enough
to put away Tommaso Ciampa.

1236
01:13:59,735 --> 01:14:02,237
What a game challenger he was.

1237
01:14:03,338 --> 01:14:08,877
[Vic] What a match.
What a defense for Walter.

1238
01:14:08,944 --> 01:14:14,716
Take nothing away from Tommaso Ciampa,
as Walter now being flanked by Imperium.

1239
01:14:14,783 --> 01:14:20,289
The historic reign
of The Ring General continues.

1240
01:14:40,209 --> 01:14:43,946
[tension music]

1241
01:14:57,292 --> 01:14:59,628
[tension music]

1242
01:15:10,572 --> 01:15:12,074
[Beth] Adorable little doggie.

1243
01:15:12,140 --> 01:15:15,677
We'll find who Franky Monet
is coming up next Tuesday.

1244
01:15:15,744 --> 01:15:19,581
[Vic] We are kicking off
the biggest week of the year.

1245
01:15:19,648 --> 01:15:22,851
As you can see, images
from London, England, earlier this week.

1246
01:15:22,918 --> 01:15:25,254
The world is ready for Wrestlemania.

1247
01:15:25,320 --> 01:15:28,090
Wrestlemania, truly a global phenomenon

1248
01:15:28,156 --> 01:15:30,692
and one that has turned
into a week-long event.

1249
01:15:30,759 --> 01:15:33,262

01:16:15,237 --> 01:16:19,775
this Saturday and Sunday,
but how about what's coming up next?

1262
01:16:19,841 --> 01:16:23,412
The vacated NXT Tag Team Championship.

1263
01:16:23,478 --> 01:16:26,014
One of these three teams will be crowned

1264
01:16:26,081 --> 01:16:29,918
our new NXT Tag Team champions
in this match next.

1265
01:16:36,458 --> 01:16:38,393
Bronson Reed, congratulations.

1266
01:16:38,460 --> 01:16:40,696
You just won
the Gauntlet Eliminator match.

1267
01:16:40,762 --> 01:16:42,731
You're going on to face Johnny Gargano

1268
01:16:42,798 --> 01:16:45,200
for the NXT North American
Championship tomorrow.

1269
01:16:45,267 --> 01:16:46,301
How are you feeling?

1270
01:16:46,368 --> 01:16:52,007
I feel fantastic.
This has been 14 years of hard work.

1271
01:16:52,074 --> 01:16:56,311
Tomorrow night, I'm going to beat
Johnny Gargano.

1272
01:16:56,378 --> 01:17:00,649
14 years, congratulations.
14 years. What a dream come true.

1273
01:17:00,716 --> 01:17:04,052
You had your TakeOver moment.
You earned it.

1274
01:17:04,119 --> 01:17:08,090
Tomorrow night, tomorrow night,
reality is going to hit you

1275
01:17:08,156 --> 01:17:11,560
when you get in the ring with the best
TakeOver performer of all time.

1276
01:17:11,626 --> 01:17:15,230
Tomorrow night, Bronson,
it is the biggest match of your life.

1277
01:17:15,297 --> 01:17:18,200
You better fill up your gas tank, big boy,
because I'm fresh as a daisy.

1278
01:17:19,801 --> 01:17:25,140
Congrats. Enjoy the night.
Tomorrow, different story.

1279
01:17:32,314 --> 01:17:36,385
[Vic] Will Bronson Reed call himself
the North American champion?

1280
01:17:36,451 --> 01:17:43,358
We're about to find out who will call
themselves the new NXT Tag Team champs.

1281
01:17:43,425 --> 01:17:44,626
[bell rings]

1282
01:17:44,693 --> 01:17:47,095
[female announcer] The following
is a triple threat match

1283
01:17:47,162 --> 01:17:52,367
for the vacated NXT Tag Team Championship.

1284
01:17:52,934 --> 01:17:59,107
Introducing first, Nash Carter,
Wes Lee, MSK.

1285
01:18:00,342 --> 01:18:02,911
[Vic] They're wild and they're free.

1286
01:18:02,978 --> 01:18:05,847
Beth, they may just be
the next NXT title holders.

1287
01:18:05,914 --> 01:18:09,251
[Beth] I am so excited to see
these two back.

1288
01:18:09,317 --> 01:18:11,987
Their journey here,
how hard they've worked,

1289
01:18:12,054 --> 01:18:15,023
cut short, of course,
by the Grizzled Young Veterans,

1290
01:18:15,090 --> 01:18:16,658
injuring Wes Lee's hand.

1291
01:18:16,725 --> 01:18:19,561
Now, they are back to claim
what they earned

1292
01:18:19,628 --> 01:18:22,597
through their compatible performance
in the Dusty Cup.

1293
01:18:23,165 --> 01:18:27,002
You may be looking
at your NXT Tag Team champions.

1294
01:18:31,973 --> 01:18:35,977
[entrance music]

1295
01:18:45,353 --> 01:18:50,325
[female announcer]
Next, Legado del Fantasma.

1296
01:19:04,005 --> 01:19:10,178
[Vic] Huge opportunity for Mendoza,
for Wilde. Also for MSK.

1297
01:19:10,245 --> 01:19:13,715
Look, like Legado del Fantasma or not,

1298
01:19:13,782 --> 01:19:17,319
they have certainly
have come together as a duo and a trio

1299
01:19:17,385 --> 01:19:18,954
over the last several months.

1300
01:19:19,020 --> 01:19:22,858
[Beth] They been hitting their stride,
of course, with Escobar at the helmet.

1301
01:19:22,924 --> 01:19:26,461
That's what it's all about, bringing
the NXT Tag Team championships home

1302
01:19:26,528 --> 01:19:29,264
beside the cruiserweight champion,
Escobar.

1303
01:19:31,933 --> 01:19:36,371
[entrance music]

1304
01:19:39,741 --> 01:19:44,079
[female announcer] James Drake
and Liverpool's number one, Zack Gibson,

1305
01:19:44,146 --> 01:19:48,450
Grizzled Young Veterans.

1306
01:19:53,522 --> 01:19:57,392
[hard rock music]

1307
01:20:11,072 --> 01:20:13,975
[Vic] Teresa Mendoza is finally back
to claim her throne.

1308
01:20:14,042 --> 01:20:17,779
Don't miss a moment of the must-see
final season of Queen of the South.

1309
01:20:17,846 --> 01:20:21,283
Premieres next after NXT on USA.

1310
01:20:23,285 --> 01:20:26,121
What a triple threat match we are set for.

1311
01:20:26,188 --> 01:20:29,324
[Wada] Really excited to see
the Grizzled Young Veterans today.

1312
01:20:29,391 --> 01:20:31,960
They took over
the NXT social media account,

1313
01:20:32,027 --> 01:20:34,863
I was honored
they invited me to be the third member

1314
01:20:34,930 --> 01:20:36,498
of the Grizzled Young Veterans.

1315
01:20:36,565 --> 01:20:38,466
[Beth] How much
were they going to pay you?

1316
01:20:38,533 --> 01:20:41,403
[Vic] You really don't qualify
for the young part of that.

1317
01:20:41,469 --> 01:20:44,039
-[Wade] Oh, come on.
-[Vic] Triple threat match,

1318
01:20:44,105 --> 01:20:46,975
first team pinfall submission
earns the championships.

1319
01:20:47,042 --> 01:20:48,910
No count-outs, no disqualifications.

1320
01:20:48,977 --> 01:20:52,647
Right now, there's Wilde
who tags in Mendoza.

1321
01:20:52,714 --> 01:20:55,417
As this match--
over the last several weeks,

1322
01:20:55,483 --> 01:20:57,686
you talked
about the Tag Team titles, Wade.

1323
01:20:57,752 --> 01:21:01,022
Have some people forgotten about--
I don't know if Fantasma--

1324
01:21:01,089 --> 01:21:04,626
[Wade] Yes, of course. Let's not forget,
the finalists of the Dusty Cup

1325
01:21:04,693 --> 01:21:07,162
were indeed MSK
and the Grizzled Young Veterans.

1326
01:21:07,229 --> 01:21:11,032
People have forgotten the fact
that Legado del Fantasma,

1327
01:21:11,099 --> 01:21:14,536
great semifinalist, they have grown
and grown over the past 12 months

1328
01:21:14,603 --> 01:21:19,241
under the mentorship of Santos Escobar,
and it would behoove them

1329
01:21:19,307 --> 01:21:22,077
to fly under the radar
and use that to this advantage.

1330
01:21:22,143 --> 01:21:24,446
Look at this. What I like
about Joaquin Wilde--

1331
01:21:24,512 --> 01:21:28,516
[Vic] Oh! Cover by Mendoza,
Gibson able to break things up at two.

1332
01:21:28,583 --> 01:21:31,119
[Wade] Calls that dance
the Papacito dance.

1333
01:21:31,186 --> 01:21:32,387
Thinks he's the got guy,

1334
01:21:32,454 --> 01:21:36,591
but clearly Zack Gibson wants
to take matters into his own hands here.

1335
01:21:36,658 --> 01:21:38,493
He goes straight back to that hand

1336
01:21:38,560 --> 01:21:41,229
of Wes Lee that was damaged
not so long ago.

1337
01:21:41,296 --> 01:21:45,100
[Vic] That's right. MSK finally back
and feeling healthy and healed,

1338
01:21:45,166 --> 01:21:47,702
and there's a lot of unsettled--

1339
01:21:47,769 --> 01:21:51,706
Well, there's a lot of things going on
between MSK and Grizzled Young Veterans.

1340
01:21:51,773 --> 01:21:54,142
[Beth] A lot of turmoil
between these two teams,

1341
01:21:54,209 --> 01:21:58,246
and let's not forget, this is
MSK's very first match of this caliber.

1342
01:21:58,313 --> 01:22:02,217
The vacant Tag Team titles have been
on the horizon for them for so long.

1343
01:22:02,284 --> 01:22:05,353
There's got to be a lot of nerves
going through their minds.

1344
01:22:05,420 --> 01:22:07,689
[Vic] As the danger
of a triple threat match.

1345
01:22:07,756 --> 01:22:10,458
You got to have eyes in the back
of your head, as Mendoza--

1346
01:22:10,525 --> 01:22:12,460
Oh! Gibson able to turn things around.

1347
01:22:12,527 --> 01:22:16,398
Cheap shot knocking down Wilde,
and just like they always do,

1348
01:22:16,464 --> 01:22:20,068
Grizzled Young Veterans
trying to capitalize

1349
01:22:20,135 --> 01:22:23,071
on their opponents' mistakes,
divide and conquer.

1350
01:22:23,138 --> 01:22:25,874
[Wade] These two are teamwork personified.

1351
01:22:28,310 --> 01:22:34,015
[Vic] Number one trend all night long
has been NXT TakeOver.

1352
01:22:34,082 --> 01:22:37,652
[Wade] There is no tighter Tag Team
than the Grizzled Young Veterans.

1353
01:22:37,719 --> 01:22:40,522
[Vic] Nash Carter flying through the air,
takes out Gibson,

1354
01:22:40,588 --> 01:22:42,924
but James Drake,
the legal superstar of the two.

1355
01:22:42,991 --> 01:22:45,427
[Beth] James Drake
took some time to retool his--

1356
01:22:45,493 --> 01:22:46,561
[Vic] Another cover.

1357
01:22:46,628 --> 01:22:49,564
[Beth] Training and add
20 pounds of muscle to his physique.

1358
01:22:49,631 --> 01:22:51,132
Always looking to improve.

1359
01:22:51,199 --> 01:22:54,736
[Vic] We're about to find out who will be
the new NXT Tag Team champions

1360
01:22:54,803 --> 01:22:56,304
as we move to Tuesdays.

1361
01:22:56,371 --> 01:23:00,875
This upcoming Tuesday on USA
will be one of these three teams.

1362
01:23:02,110 --> 01:23:05,413
Drake with another nasty left hand.

1363
01:23:06,348 --> 01:23:09,584
Grizzled Young Veterans,
they could join rare air tonight, Beth.

1364
01:23:09,651 --> 01:23:13,455
Only the fabulous freebirds
have won vacated titles twice.

1365
01:23:13,521 --> 01:23:16,424
Of course, we're also mentioning
the NXT UK Tag Team titles

1366
01:23:16,491 --> 01:23:18,560
Grizzled Young Veterans won while vacated.

1367
01:23:18,626 --> 01:23:21,229
[Beth] A phenomenal class
of legends to join them,

1368
01:23:21,296 --> 01:23:23,965
and the Grizzled Veterans
consider themselves legends.

1369
01:23:24,032 --> 01:23:26,668
-Wade, you can speak to that.
-[Wade] Let's be honest,

1370
01:23:26,735 --> 01:23:28,937
they're impressive.
They have a great resume.

1371
01:23:29,004 --> 01:23:31,473
They've been to the finals
of the Dusty Cup twice.

1372
01:23:31,539 --> 01:23:33,808
[Vic] Another cover, and another kick out.

1373
01:23:33,875 --> 01:23:37,812
[Wade] I think they're going to go one
better tonight and win the big one in NXT

1374
01:23:37,879 --> 01:23:39,647
and become the new Tag Team champs.

1375
01:23:39,714 --> 01:23:42,117
[Vic] Talking about a resume,
they made it to the finals.

1376
01:23:42,183 --> 01:23:45,720
How about the resume the team that won it?
Nash Carter and Wes Lee, MSK.

1377
01:23:45,787 --> 01:23:47,489
[Wade] I'm taking nothing away from them,

1378
01:23:47,555 --> 01:23:49,624
but you could've split
that match by a hair.

1379
01:23:49,691 --> 01:23:51,459
There was nothing in it at the end.

1380
01:23:51,526 --> 01:23:54,696
[Beth] I think the GYV is intimidated
by MSK judging by the fact

1381
01:23:54,763 --> 01:23:56,631
that they had to do something dirty

1382
01:23:56,698 --> 01:23:59,534
and break Wes Lee's hand
to avoid a confrontation.

1383
01:23:59,601 --> 01:24:04,572
These Tag Team titles vacated after
the injury sustained by Danny Burch.

1384
01:24:04,639 --> 01:24:07,642
We know Burch and Lorcan
watching somewhere very closely

1385
01:24:07,709 --> 01:24:12,113
as again, Legado del Fantasma
isolated in this place

1386
01:24:12,180 --> 01:24:14,349
into the game plan of Drake and Gibson.

1387
01:24:14,416 --> 01:24:16,251
[Wade] There was a lot of chaos

1388
01:24:16,317 --> 01:24:19,888
in the beginning of this matchup.
Now, the veterans have taken--

1389
01:24:19,954 --> 01:24:23,391
[Vic] Another cover, forearm across
the face, Carter kicks out at two.

1390
01:24:23,458 --> 01:24:25,226
[Wade] They're in complete control.

1391
01:24:25,293 --> 01:24:28,129
Legado del Fantasma
have been laid to waste, apparently.

1392
01:24:28,196 --> 01:24:31,933
Now, it's really turned into a single
tag team match at this point.

1393
01:24:32,000 --> 01:24:35,170
[Beth] It behooves the GYV
to keep that ring cut off

1394
01:24:35,236 --> 01:24:37,839
and keep Carter in their corner,

1395
01:24:37,906 --> 01:24:41,376
not allowing him to make the tag
or allow legado back in the matchup.

1396
01:24:41,443 --> 01:24:44,345
There's that nastiness
of James Drake and Zack Gibson.

1397
01:24:44,412 --> 01:24:49,184
You know, James Drake used to be a real
nice boy until he paired up with Gibson,

1398
01:24:49,250 --> 01:24:52,921
who got this nasty edge to himself,
which I've got to admit, I love it.

1399
01:24:52,987 --> 01:24:55,957
[Vic] Looking for a suplex,
Carter able to float over,

1400
01:24:56,024 --> 01:24:59,160
makes the tag, Wes Lee making
his way back in to the midsection.

1401
01:24:59,227 --> 01:25:02,697
Take a look at the speed,
take a look at the combination offense.

1402
01:25:02,764 --> 01:25:06,668
MSK starting
to rock and roll in this match.

1403
01:25:06,734 --> 01:25:11,573
[Wade] Just an ingenious duo that
have taken NXT by storm from the word go.

1404
01:25:11,639 --> 01:25:13,975
[Vic] Tag was made, Carter is legal.

1405
01:25:14,042 --> 01:25:17,378
Grizzled Young Veterans
don't realize it. They may now.

1406
01:25:17,445 --> 01:25:19,414
Up and down.

1407
01:25:19,481 --> 01:25:23,218
[Beth] Shades of the Hardy Boyz,
simple and effective.

1408
01:25:23,284 --> 01:25:25,553
[Vic] Wait a minute,
back in the ring, Mendoza.

1409
01:25:25,620 --> 01:25:27,956
Tag, Wilde's now legal.

1410
01:25:29,190 --> 01:25:33,361
Legado del Fantasma picking their moments.

1411
01:25:33,428 --> 01:25:36,598
[Wade] High-flying daredevils themselves.

1412
01:25:36,664 --> 01:25:38,700
[Vic] Look out for Raúl Mendoza,

1413
01:25:38,766 --> 01:25:41,669
he's been waiting a long time
for this moment,

1414
01:25:41,736 --> 01:25:43,905
as we go back, Nash Carter, up and down.

1415
01:25:43,972 --> 01:25:48,510
Not to be outdone,
Legado del Fantasma doing the same thing.

1416
01:25:48,576 --> 01:25:52,147
Before Raúl Mendoza made his debut
in the Cruiserweight Classic,

1417
01:25:52,213 --> 01:25:55,016
nearly five years
to make it to this stage,

1418
01:25:55,083 --> 01:25:57,919
five years of grInding
to make it to TakeOver.

1419
01:25:57,986 --> 01:26:00,488
There's a lot on the line
for Legado del Fantasma.

1420
01:26:00,555 --> 01:26:02,490
[Wade] That is indeed a long way,

1421
01:26:02,557 --> 01:26:05,727
but look at what happens
when you pair up with Santos Escobar.

1422
01:26:05,793 --> 01:26:09,063
In my mind, the real
cruiserweight champion.

1423
01:26:10,198 --> 01:26:12,967
[Beth] Well, that remains
up to debate, Wade,

1424
01:26:13,034 --> 01:26:17,939
and we'll find out in our ladder match
on night two, as Devlin takes on Escobar.

1425
01:26:18,006 --> 01:26:21,342
[Vic] Wait a minute, cover.
Gibson, quickly,

1426
01:26:21,409 --> 01:26:25,680
he saw him coming in the ring
to break up that count very quickly.

1427
01:26:28,183 --> 01:26:30,184
[referee] Hey, boys. Boys, no.

1428
01:26:30,251 --> 01:26:31,986
You're not legal. Come on.

1429
01:26:32,053 --> 01:26:33,621
Get out of the ring.

1430
01:26:34,589 --> 01:26:40,628
[Vic] Legado del Fantasma taking advantage
of their numbers situation on Gibson.

1431
01:26:40,695 --> 01:26:43,932
[Wade] Yes, the street mugging,
two-on-one on the scalps of Zack.

1432
01:26:43,998 --> 01:26:46,467
[Vic] Don't miss a moment on--
we won't leave you,

1433
01:26:46,534 --> 01:26:48,469
we'll be here throughout the Peacock--

1434
01:26:48,536 --> 01:26:50,638
However, don't miss
a second of our action.

1435
01:26:50,705 --> 01:26:52,907
Commercial break coming up on USA.

1436
01:26:58,913 --> 01:27:02,083
[Vic] As we mentioned, we're not going
anywhere here on Peacock.

1437
01:27:02,150 --> 01:27:03,418
Float over into the cover,

1438
01:27:03,484 --> 01:27:05,954
Mendoza nearly captured
the tag team titles

1439
01:27:06,020 --> 01:27:07,956
from Legado del Fantasma.

1440
01:27:08,022 --> 01:27:09,924
[Beth] Wade, you didn't really like it

1441
01:27:09,991 --> 01:27:13,127
when GYV had a little bit
of their medicine dished back to them.

1442
01:27:13,194 --> 01:27:17,298
[Wade] I'm fine with it. The streets
of Liverpool where Gibson grew up,

1443
01:27:17,365 --> 01:27:19,901
he's had that before
coming out of the pubs there.

1444
01:27:19,968 --> 01:27:22,136
I lived in Liverpool,
I know all about that.

1445
01:27:22,203 --> 01:27:25,173
[Vic] Guys, we need to focus
on Legado del Fantasma.

1446
01:27:25,240 --> 01:27:27,942
Look at Wilde and Mendoza
working as a well-oiled unit.

1447
01:27:28,009 --> 01:27:31,846
Into the cover again on Nash Carter.
Carter has to kick out at two.

1448
01:27:31,913 --> 01:27:35,416
[Beth] Legado has completely changed
the landscape of this matchup

1449
01:27:35,483 --> 01:27:39,254
in a blink of an eye,
taking out two teams.

1450
01:27:41,456 --> 01:27:45,226
[Vic] Legado del Fantasma, if you go back
to the start of this matchup,

1451
01:27:45,293 --> 01:27:48,730
smart strategy, laying and
waiting around, finally picked their spot.

1452
01:27:48,796 --> 01:27:50,632
Take yourself a little breather.

1453
01:27:50,698 --> 01:27:53,201
[Vic] Another cover,
and another kick out by Carter.

1454
01:27:53,268 --> 01:27:55,536
[Wade] Let the other two teams
tear each other apart

1455
01:27:55,603 --> 01:27:57,572
and then come in and pick the spoils.

1456
01:28:03,211 --> 01:28:05,747
Nash Carter desperate,
looking over at Wes Lee.

1457
01:28:06,514 --> 01:28:10,351
Take a look, Grizzled Young Veterans,
they have been isolated in this matchup.

1458
01:28:10,418 --> 01:28:14,188
Is the time now for Mendoza and Wilde?

1459
01:28:14,255 --> 01:28:17,458
[audience cheering]

1460
01:28:24,432 --> 01:28:29,370
Triple threat match continuing
for the vacated NXT Tag Team titles.

1461
01:28:29,437 --> 01:28:32,774
Mendoza and Wilde, though,
have been on a mission,

1462
01:28:32,840 --> 01:28:35,910
have been fluid, have been
almost sensational,

1463
01:28:35,977 --> 01:28:38,079
have been physically
dissecting the competition.

1464
01:28:38,146 --> 01:28:43,084
[Wade] Yes, do not sleep on this pair.
These two are real contenders here.

1465
01:28:43,151 --> 01:28:44,585
[Vic] Look at the quick tags.

1466
01:28:44,652 --> 01:28:46,988
[Beth] They've come in
with a focus strategy.

1467
01:28:47,055 --> 01:28:49,657
They know these other two teams so well.

1468
01:28:49,724 --> 01:28:52,994
They're not going to allow them
to get an advantage at any point.

1469
01:28:53,061 --> 01:28:56,431
[Wade] This is the best
this tag team has ever looked.

1470
01:28:56,497 --> 01:28:58,833
Legado del Fantasma, count me impressed.

1471
01:28:59,867 --> 01:29:04,372
[Beth] This is NXT TakeOver,
and everybody is bringing their a game.

1472
01:29:06,240 --> 01:29:11,045
[Vic] One more time by Mendoza,
and another tag [Indistinct] Wilde.

1473
01:29:11,112 --> 01:29:14,482
Another tag from Mendoza. Double suplex.

1474
01:29:14,549 --> 01:29:18,820
Nash Carter is being taken
to the clinic right now.

1475
01:29:18,886 --> 01:29:20,388
Off the moonsault.

1476
01:29:20,455 --> 01:29:22,557
Hook of the leg and a near fall,

1477
01:29:22,623 --> 01:29:25,760
but, Beth, how much more
can Nash Carter have left?

1478
01:29:25,827 --> 01:29:28,262
[Beth] I think you have to bring forward

1479
01:29:28,329 --> 01:29:31,833
the connection between Carter and Lee,
how long they've been friends--

1480
01:29:31,899 --> 01:29:33,901
[Vic] Drake from behind, shoulders down.

1481
01:29:33,968 --> 01:29:35,303
Another near fall.

1482
01:29:35,370 --> 01:29:39,073
[Wade] Almost stealing the match
was James Drake there from Raúl Mendoza

1483
01:29:39,140 --> 01:29:42,143
after that head of steam
that Mendoza had built up.

1484
01:29:42,210 --> 01:29:46,147
[Beth] Excellent opportunistic move
by Drake, continuing to interject himself.

1485
01:29:46,214 --> 01:29:48,750
[Vic] It's the dangers of the triple
threat match

1486
01:29:48,816 --> 01:29:50,485
in action all over the place.

1487
01:29:50,551 --> 01:29:53,254
Finally, Carter makes the tag
and in comes Wes Lee,

1488
01:29:53,321 --> 01:29:56,791
able to let it now-- No wasted motion.

1489
01:29:56,858 --> 01:29:58,926
Lee hitting everything that moves.

1490
01:29:58,993 --> 01:30:00,661
Look at that roundhouse kick.

1491
01:30:00,728 --> 01:30:03,297
Shots to the body, to the ribs.
Combination offense.

1492
01:30:03,364 --> 01:30:06,401
Snapmare takes down Drake.
Dropkick right to the back.

1493
01:30:06,467 --> 01:30:09,737
[Wade] Just no way to block
this kind of offense.

1494
01:30:10,972 --> 01:30:14,242
[Vic] Caution being thrown
to the wind by Wes Lee.

1495
01:30:14,308 --> 01:30:15,676
Whoa!

1496
01:30:18,446 --> 01:30:20,014
Let's go.

1497
01:30:20,081 --> 01:30:22,817
[audience cheering]

1498
01:30:22,884 --> 01:30:24,352
[Beth] Talk about amped up.

1499
01:30:24,419 --> 01:30:26,788
-[all] Oh!
-[Vic] What a kick.

1500
01:30:26,854 --> 01:30:29,924
[Wade] Leaping peleé kick
from James Drake.

1501
01:30:29,991 --> 01:30:32,093
[Vic] Tag is made. In comes Nash Carter.

1502
01:30:32,160 --> 01:30:37,298
Carter now, we have seen
this in the past, thing of beauty.

1503
01:30:38,332 --> 01:30:41,602
Carter connects. Cover, do we have--

1504
01:30:41,669 --> 01:30:46,441
Another near-fall,
as Drake able to kick out at two.

1505
01:30:46,507 --> 01:30:52,280
[Wade] The defiance of physics there
from MSK. What an unpredictable duo.

1506
01:30:54,081 --> 01:30:57,852
[Beth] This match has
my heart beating so fast, Wade.

1507
01:30:57,919 --> 01:30:59,587
I can barely keep track.

1508
01:30:59,654 --> 01:31:03,825
[Wade] You see Nash calling for that,
attempting to pick up James Drake.

1509
01:31:03,891 --> 01:31:05,393
A momentary pause

1510
01:31:05,460 --> 01:31:08,596
and Zack Gibson, of course,
on the outside, up to no good.

1511
01:31:08,663 --> 01:31:11,165
We have seen this before from the--

1512
01:31:11,232 --> 01:31:12,166
Oh!

1513
01:31:12,233 --> 01:31:15,336
[Wade] Knee to the jaw across James Drake.

1514
01:31:15,403 --> 01:31:19,574
Now, Carter crawling to make the tag,
but Lee, not under the apron.

1515
01:31:20,308 --> 01:31:26,047
[Wada] Legado del Fantasma out of nowhere,
back to take over complete control.

1516
01:31:26,113 --> 01:31:28,950
Twisting suplex there from Raúl Mendoza.

1517
01:31:29,016 --> 01:31:31,285
Again, a fresh Wes Lee
entering the matchup.

1518
01:31:31,352 --> 01:31:33,888
[Vic] Wes Lee, up, two for one.

1519
01:31:33,955 --> 01:31:36,858
[audience cheering]

1520
01:31:36,924 --> 01:31:39,560
[Vic] Now, Lee turns
his attention to Drake.

1521
01:31:39,627 --> 01:31:42,597
Drake, both men over, out of the corner.

1522
01:31:44,565 --> 01:31:49,737
We know about Nash Carter's dad.
We know what it means for MSK to succeed.

1523
01:31:49,804 --> 01:31:52,540
Gibson with a cheap shot
right to the Adam's apple.

1524
01:31:52,607 --> 01:31:55,543
[Wade] We know about that,
but how good Zack Gibson is too.

1525
01:31:55,610 --> 01:31:59,580
We're witnessing it first-hand. Again,
perhaps, attacking that hand of Wes Lee.

1526
01:31:59,647 --> 01:32:01,816
[Vic] Wait a minute.
That that injured hand.

1527
01:32:01,883 --> 01:32:03,751
[Wade] He's going to drop them.

1528
01:32:03,818 --> 01:32:05,887
-[Beth] No, no, no.
-[Vic] Come on. No.

1529
01:32:05,953 --> 01:32:06,921
[Wade] Genius.

1530
01:32:06,988 --> 01:32:10,858
[Vic] No disqualification.
Triple threat rules.

1531
01:32:10,925 --> 01:32:14,629
[Wade] The hand of Wes Lee
crushed in that turnbuckle.

1532
01:32:14,695 --> 01:32:17,365
Now, Zack Gibson attempting to capitalize.

1533
01:32:17,431 --> 01:32:18,633
Put him away, Zack.

1534
01:32:18,699 --> 01:32:23,804
[Vic] Gibson, now, can physically dissect,
can physically dominate Wes Lee.

1535
01:32:23,871 --> 01:32:26,307
Nash Carter's down.
Mendoza down. Wilde is down.

1536
01:32:26,374 --> 01:32:28,876
[Wade] Oh, the shankly gates,
shankly gates.

1537
01:32:28,943 --> 01:32:32,513
This is how Zack got to win
the UK tournament in 2018.

1538
01:32:32,580 --> 01:32:35,650
[Vic] Can Wes Lee hold on?
Nash Carter trying to interfere.

1539
01:32:35,716 --> 01:32:38,319
Drake cutting off Carter.
Shankly gates is locked in.

1540
01:32:38,386 --> 01:32:40,021
[Wade] MSK tied up, Vic.

1541
01:32:40,087 --> 01:32:42,523
[Vic] Pain in the body.
Is Lee going to tap?

1542
01:32:42,590 --> 01:32:44,926
Lee's going to tap. Lee is going to tap.

1543
01:32:44,992 --> 01:32:47,695
Carter got Lee's hand.
Carter got Lee's hand.

1544
01:32:47,762 --> 01:32:50,565
[Berh] Carter not allowing Lee
to tap, the best friend.

1545
01:32:50,631 --> 01:32:53,401
[Wade] Lee's trying to tap out.
Referee, stop the match.

1546
01:32:53,467 --> 01:32:55,436
[Vic] You got to fight it through, Lee.

1547
01:32:55,503 --> 01:32:59,373
Shankly gates, I can only imagine
the pain shooting through the body.

1548
01:32:59,440 --> 01:33:02,310
-[Beth] Side-by-side.
-[Vic] Mendoza broke it up.

1549
01:33:02,376 --> 01:33:03,544
[audience cheering]

1550
01:33:03,611 --> 01:33:08,849
[Vic] Mendoza now, dropping Drake.
Wilde to the top.

1551
01:33:09,951 --> 01:33:12,119
-[Wade] The demolition.
-[Vic] Legado!

1552
01:33:13,354 --> 01:33:18,059
Mendoza now is
in Legado del Fantasma's destiny.

1553
01:33:19,961 --> 01:33:22,396
On the hand, that injured hand of Wes Lee.

1554
01:33:22,463 --> 01:33:23,664
[audience cheering]

1555
01:33:23,731 --> 01:33:27,568
[Wade] Wes Lee is in a complete mess.
Everybody else in the match is down.

1556
01:33:27,635 --> 01:33:33,407
[Vic] This is the moment.
Mendoza, Wilde, cover, count.

1557
01:33:33,474 --> 01:33:38,913
Oh! Absolute disbelief.

1558
01:33:41,282 --> 01:33:46,887
[Wade] Despondency etched
all over the face of Legado del Fantasma.

1559
01:33:46,954 --> 01:33:49,991
That is the prize, the NXT Tag title.

1560
01:33:50,057 --> 01:33:53,961
They can taste them, but somehow,
Wes Lee continues in the matchup.

1561
01:33:54,028 --> 01:33:57,632
[Beth] That is what's on the heart
and the minds of MSK,

1562
01:33:57,698 --> 01:33:59,734
keeping them in this matchup.

1563
01:34:01,002 --> 01:34:03,404
[Vic] Again, no count-out,
no disqualification

1564
01:34:03,471 --> 01:34:05,306
in this triple threat matchup.

1565
01:34:05,373 --> 01:34:08,342
[Wade] All six men involved
in brawls at this point.

1566
01:34:09,543 --> 01:34:11,646
[Vic] Everything starting to break down.

1567
01:34:11,712 --> 01:34:13,948
Wait. Is that Drake?

1568
01:34:15,082 --> 01:34:18,919
-[all] Oh!
-[Vic] Doomsday Device.

1569
01:34:18,986 --> 01:34:22,790
[Wade] Topeé Doomsday of sorts.
We've seen that before.

1570
01:34:23,624 --> 01:34:28,029
[Vic] Mendoza now, up
on the shoulders of Carter. Wes Lee.

1571
01:34:28,596 --> 01:34:30,731
Mendoza's done for.

1572
01:34:37,338 --> 01:34:43,244
[Beth] Mendoza's body crashing to the mat
across the ribs and sternum. MSK--

1573
01:34:43,310 --> 01:34:46,814
[Wade] MSK is stern. They can
barely stand up, if you're asking me.

1574
01:34:46,881 --> 01:34:50,818
Grizzled Young Veterans
look like the freshest duo.

1575
01:34:51,886 --> 01:34:55,923
[audience cheering]

1576
01:35:04,365 --> 01:35:07,168
[Vic] The finals
of the Dusty Cup revisited.

1577
01:35:09,170 --> 01:35:10,471
Who wants it more?

1578
01:35:10,538 --> 01:35:12,206
[audience chanting "This is awesome"]

1579
01:35:12,273 --> 01:35:15,009
[Vic] How bad do you want it?
You got to fight for it.

1580
01:35:15,076 --> 01:35:18,846
[Wade] We have ourselves a brawl
at this point in the matchup.

1581
01:35:18,913 --> 01:35:22,883
You asked me who the best brawlers are,
it's Grizzled Young Veterans.

1582
01:35:22,950 --> 01:35:26,420
[Beth] To offset it,
you've got the electricity of MSK.

1583
01:35:26,487 --> 01:35:29,423
[Vic] Looking for the ticket
to mayhem, countered by Carter.

1584
01:35:29,490 --> 01:35:30,825
Carter goes up, goes--

1585
01:35:30,891 --> 01:35:34,595
Oh! Double cutter, a double cutter.

1586
01:35:34,662 --> 01:35:35,963
[Wade] Never seen before.

1587
01:35:36,030 --> 01:35:38,365
No defense designed
for something like that.

1588
01:35:38,432 --> 01:35:41,001
[Vic] Carter makes the tag to Wes Lee.

1589
01:35:41,068 --> 01:35:43,504
[Wade] MSK is smelling blood.

1590
01:35:43,571 --> 01:35:44,605
[audience cheering]

1591
01:35:44,672 --> 01:35:47,541
[Vic] Wes Lee now, Gibson, nowhere to go.

1592
01:35:49,110 --> 01:35:53,180
Lee into the cover, hooks the leg. MSK.

1593
01:35:53,247 --> 01:35:55,015
-[audience cheering]
-[bell rings]

1594
01:35:55,082 --> 01:35:56,183
[MSK's music plays]

1595
01:35:56,250 --> 01:35:58,385
[Vic] The dream was surreal.

1596
01:35:58,452 --> 01:36:02,490
It had to come true for Lee and Carter.

1597
01:36:10,231 --> 01:36:14,668
[Wade] Unbelievable.
New NXT Tag Team Champions.

1598
01:36:14,735 --> 01:36:19,573
What a chaotic matchup.
What a performance from all three teams.

1599
01:36:19,640 --> 01:36:22,843
The Grizzled Young Veterans, once again,

1600
01:36:22,910 --> 01:36:28,716
millimeters from glory, but this duo
who have taken the world by storm

1601
01:36:28,782 --> 01:36:35,589
since arriving here in NXT, are finally
crowned the new NXT Tag Team champions.

1602
01:36:35,656 --> 01:36:39,493
[Vic] Beth, what a journey from MSK.

1603
01:36:39,560 --> 01:36:43,898
We got to go back, because Wes Lee
had to fight through adversity.

1604
01:36:43,964 --> 01:36:47,134
[Beth] You're right. Be coming in
with a very specific agenda,

1605
01:36:47,201 --> 01:36:51,105
but you see here, the teamwork,
the friendship, the rapport.

1606
01:36:51,172 --> 01:36:53,174
There is no quit in MSK.

1607
01:36:53,240 --> 01:36:58,012
They are there for one another
in every moment through all the suffering.

1608
01:36:59,313 --> 01:37:01,649
[Wade] Once again, more on the ingenuity.

1609
01:37:01,715 --> 01:37:04,885
What a performance
from Legado del Fantasma.

1610
01:37:04,952 --> 01:37:06,720
This was their moment in the matchup,

1611
01:37:06,787 --> 01:37:10,124
where they looked like they were going
to take over until of course,

1612
01:37:10,191 --> 01:37:14,028
this Doomsday Device from the Grizzled
Young Veterans teared them up for good.

1613
01:37:14,094 --> 01:37:17,298
[Vic] Now, to be followed up
on the other side of the ring,

1614
01:37:17,364 --> 01:37:20,768
Mendoza would suffer the same fate
as his tag-team partner,

1615
01:37:20,835 --> 01:37:23,971
and much like the Dusty Cup finals,

1616
01:37:24,038 --> 01:37:30,010
MSK able to rise and overcome
the Grizzled Young Veterans

1617
01:37:30,077 --> 01:37:34,181
to fulfill their destiny.

1618
01:37:36,684 --> 01:37:39,820
[female announcer] Here are your winners

1619
01:37:39,887 --> 01:37:45,059
and the new NXT Tag Team champions,

1620
01:37:45,125 --> 01:37:48,629
MSK.

1621
01:37:49,496 --> 01:37:54,468
[audience chanting "MSK"]

1622
01:37:55,336 --> 01:37:59,406
[Vic] What a moment.
Let the emotions flow.

1623
01:37:59,473 --> 01:38:02,209
We have new NXT Tag Team champion.

1624
01:38:02,276 --> 01:38:05,312
[Beth] I'm just so happy,
so proud of these guys.

1625
01:38:05,379 --> 01:38:08,782
You could see the emotion
just pouring out of both of them.

1626
01:38:08,849 --> 01:38:12,052
It's the moment they've dreamed of
since they were little.

1627
01:38:12,119 --> 01:38:18,392
[Vic] The legacy
is just beginning for MSK.

1628
01:38:18,893 --> 01:38:23,831
[Wade] They are the future,
and the future is now. What a duo.

1629
01:38:29,803 --> 01:38:31,572
[Vic] What more can we say?

1630
01:38:31,639 --> 01:38:34,642
What a night it has been
here for night one.

1631
01:38:34,708 --> 01:38:36,677
We still have our main event to get to,

1632
01:38:36,744 --> 01:38:40,114
but Wade, let's talk about what's going
to happen tomorrow night,

1633
01:38:40,180 --> 01:38:42,416
exclusively streaming on Peacock.

1634
01:38:42,483 --> 01:38:45,286
[Wade] Oh, my word.
We saw it earlier tonight,

1635
01:38:45,352 --> 01:38:49,189
the winner of the Gauntlet,
Bronson Reed goes onto night two.

1636
01:38:49,256 --> 01:38:54,161
Tomorrow night, he will challenge
the North American champion, Gargano.

1637
01:38:54,228 --> 01:38:56,463
[Beth] Speaking of championships,

1638
01:38:56,530 --> 01:39:00,000
the firepit wanting to shine
on NXT's biggest stage,

1639
01:39:00,067 --> 01:39:04,772
can lerae slam the breaks
on the Tag Team champion's momentum?

1640
01:39:04,838 --> 01:39:08,676
[Vic] Speaking of championships,
the NXT Cruiserweight Championship

1641
01:39:08,742 --> 01:39:11,879
will be held and suspended
high above the ring,

1642
01:39:11,946 --> 01:39:15,616
as Santos Escobar goes up
against Jordan Devlin

1643
01:39:15,683 --> 01:39:18,552
to unify the Cruiserweight Championship.

1644
01:39:18,619 --> 01:39:20,654
We will find out once and for all

1645
01:39:20,721 --> 01:39:25,092
who is the undisputed
NXT Cruiserweight champion of the world.

1646
01:39:25,159 --> 01:39:28,028
[Wade] In our co-main event,

1647
01:39:28,095 --> 01:39:31,398
the NXT championship on the line.

1648
01:39:31,465 --> 01:39:35,002
The undefeated Karrion Korss challenges

1649
01:39:35,069 --> 01:39:39,640
the, perhaps, unbeatable,
"The Prince" Finn Balor.

1650
01:39:39,707 --> 01:39:44,545
[Beth] Of course, our anticipated
other co-main event,

1651
01:39:44,611 --> 01:39:47,848
the uncontainable rage
has rised to this moment.

1652
01:39:47,915 --> 01:39:50,351
NXT will not be held liable

1653
01:39:50,417 --> 01:39:52,619
when Adam Cole and Kyle O'Reilly meet

1654
01:39:52,686 --> 01:39:57,458
in this unsanctioned matchup
tomorrow night, night two.

1655
01:39:57,524 --> 01:40:01,228
[pop music]

1656
01:40:04,965 --> 01:40:09,436
That's not all guys
because Poppy's going to perform live.

1657
01:40:09,503 --> 01:40:16,009
Exclusively here, night two on Peacock,
Poppy will be in the house.

1658
01:40:16,076 --> 01:40:18,178
That's tomorrow night.

1659
01:40:18,245 --> 01:40:19,847
How about what's coming up next?

1660
01:40:19,913 --> 01:40:25,085
It's our main event, Io Shirai,
the Genius of the Sky,

1661
01:40:25,152 --> 01:40:28,522
takes on her toughest test to date,
in Raquel González.

1662
01:40:28,589 --> 01:40:32,092
In our main event
of TakeOver: Stand & Deliver night one,

1663
01:40:32,159 --> 01:40:35,229
it's commercial-free, and it's next.

1664
01:40:39,366 --> 01:40:42,603
[male announcer] During the biggest
weekend sports entertainment,

1665
01:40:42,669 --> 01:40:48,842
the biggest and brightest stars
of NXT UK will make their mark.

1666
01:40:50,144 --> 01:40:55,349
[Vic] European wrestling history
will take place at NXT UK prelude.

1667
01:40:55,416 --> 01:40:58,052
[male announcer]
The best in the world, Meiko Satomura

1668
01:40:58,118 --> 01:41:00,421
teams up with the returning
Emilia McKenzie

1669
01:41:00,487 --> 01:41:04,691
against the NXT UK Women's champion
Kay Lee Ray

1670
01:41:04,758 --> 01:41:06,660
and the vIndictive Isla Dawn.

1671
01:41:06,727 --> 01:41:09,563
It's NXT UK Prelude,

1672
01:41:09,630 --> 01:41:14,635
tomorrow 3 pm est, 8 pm
British summer time, streaming on Peacock.

1673
01:41:18,038 --> 01:41:21,608
[Raquel] In the past year,
Raquel González has changed.

1674
01:41:24,011 --> 01:41:26,980
[Beth] Oh my god, it's Raquel González.

1675
01:41:29,049 --> 01:41:32,619
[Raquel] I have been running
the NXT Women's Division.

1676
01:41:33,587 --> 01:41:39,493
[Vic] Power bomb onto Shirai, and
Raquel González has won Women's Wargames.

1677
01:41:39,560 --> 01:41:45,299
[Wade] Once upon a time, Raquel González
was known as the insurance policy,

1678
01:41:45,365 --> 01:41:50,471
that performance has her
in the stakes of being a mega star

1679
01:41:50,537 --> 01:41:55,742
the NXT Women's Division is recognized
as the best Women's Division in the world.

1680
01:41:55,809 --> 01:41:59,980
[Beth] This makes me so excited
to see how far we've come.

1681
01:42:00,047 --> 01:42:03,450
No one can compare to Raquel.

1682
01:42:03,517 --> 01:42:06,854
She is all muscle
and the most dominant force.

1683
01:42:06,920 --> 01:42:10,757
[Wade] She is the biggest badass in NXT.

1684
01:42:10,824 --> 01:42:14,761
[Vic] Raquel is the last woman standing.

1685
01:42:17,197 --> 01:42:20,367
Io Shirai is loca, she is crazy.

1686
01:42:20,434 --> 01:42:25,405
The things I've seen her do, it makes
sense why she's NXT Women's champion.

1687
01:42:30,911 --> 01:42:37,084
[commentator] That is just sadistic,
that is mean, that is Io Shirai.

1688
01:42:37,151 --> 01:42:40,420
The overall competitor
of the year is Io Shirai.

1689
01:42:40,487 --> 01:42:45,759
[Wade] Io Shirai takes to the sky
and brings down the house.

1690
01:42:46,260 --> 01:42:52,633
[Vic] Io Shirai continues to show
the NXT Women's division belongs to her.

1691
01:42:54,301 --> 01:43:00,607
[Io speakin in a foreign language]

1692
01:43:00,674 --> 01:43:05,579
You're looking at the biggest
and the baddest woman in this industry.

1693
01:43:05,646 --> 01:43:08,015
I want you next.

1694
01:43:08,782 --> 01:43:12,119
She made a big mistake
by handing me this contract.

1695
01:43:12,186 --> 01:43:14,254
Her title reign has an expiration date.

1696
01:43:15,055 --> 01:43:17,024
You cannot kill me.

1697
01:43:18,058 --> 01:43:21,428
[Wade] You just can't keep Io Shirai down.

1698
01:43:21,495 --> 01:43:25,199
What do you have to throw
at the NXT Women's champion?

1699
01:43:26,466 --> 01:43:29,269
[Beth] Io Shirai continues
to forge forward

1700
01:43:29,336 --> 01:43:32,206
despite everything González
has done to her.

1701
01:43:32,873 --> 01:43:36,009
[Raquel] I have turned myself
into a beast.

1702
01:43:36,076 --> 01:43:39,079
I've beaten the best in NXT.

1703
01:43:39,146 --> 01:43:42,349
I am the brick wall
that nobody can get through.

1704
01:43:43,650 --> 01:43:46,687
[Io speaking in a foreign language]

1705
01:43:46,753 --> 01:43:51,358
"And still Women's champion, Io Shirai."

1706
01:43:52,593 --> 01:43:58,498
[Vic] It's the main event of night one,
González-Shirai for the NXT Women's title.

1707
01:44:01,301 --> 01:44:02,936
Ready, girls?

1708
01:44:04,438 --> 01:44:05,372
What?

1709
01:44:06,640 --> 01:44:08,909
You will not laugh or giggle.

1710
01:44:08,976 --> 01:44:10,911
-Let's do this.
-Bring it.

1711
01:44:10,978 --> 01:44:13,280
Luke and I are teamed
in a hotdog eating contest.

1712
01:44:14,014 --> 01:44:15,415
Aye, aye, captain.

1713
01:44:15,482 --> 01:44:16,450
Oh my.

1714
01:44:16,516 --> 01:44:17,718
Whoa! Boom!

1715
01:44:17,784 --> 01:44:19,886
[Vic] If you're not excited,
you better check your pulse.

1716
01:44:23,457 --> 01:44:27,260
You've got to work with what you got
and we've got each other.

1717
01:44:28,695 --> 01:44:30,230
I knew it the whole time, buddy.

1718
01:44:30,297 --> 01:44:32,199
-Wow.
-Yeah!

1719
01:44:32,266 --> 01:44:33,433
[music]

1720
01:44:33,500 --> 01:44:35,535
[Beth] What a huge night it's been.

1721
01:44:35,602 --> 01:44:39,139
Here to watch our main event, new signee,
"Warrior of the Sun" Sarray

1722
01:44:39,206 --> 01:44:43,110
and, of course, a woman that's been
at the forefront of the women's evolution,

1723
01:44:43,176 --> 01:44:46,013
WWE Chief Brand Officer Stephanie McMahon,

1724
01:44:46,079 --> 01:44:50,217
no doubt is excited to see these two women
tear it up, as all of us.

1725
01:44:50,284 --> 01:44:53,020
[Vic] Can't wait to see Sarray in action,

1726
01:44:53,086 --> 01:44:55,856
I'm sure Steph McMahon feels
the same way, but--

1727
01:44:55,922 --> 01:44:58,125
Wait, it is time for the main event.

1728
01:44:58,191 --> 01:45:02,362
[Wade] The biggest match
in this lady's career. Raquel González,

1729
01:45:02,429 --> 01:45:04,298
can she capture the gold tonight?

1730
01:45:04,364 --> 01:45:05,632
[audience booing]

1731
01:45:05,699 --> 01:45:09,970
[Vic] To do so, she will have
to dethrone the Genius of the Sky.

1732
01:45:13,273 --> 01:45:16,476
[audience cheering]

1733
01:45:19,346 --> 01:45:24,084
This is what we have been waiting for,
Beth, tonight the NXT women's title.

1734
01:45:25,018 --> 01:45:27,354
[Beth] It doesn't get
any bigger than this, Vic.

1735
01:45:27,421 --> 01:45:30,157
Generations of women,
and we keep talking about this,

1736
01:45:30,223 --> 01:45:32,059
making history over and over.

1737
01:45:32,125 --> 01:45:33,727
[Raquel González's music plays]

1738
01:45:33,794 --> 01:45:36,263
[Beth] For a moment like this
for Raquel González,

1739
01:45:36,330 --> 01:45:39,333
she is full of nerves,
but full of excitement

1740
01:45:39,399 --> 01:45:43,737
because she knows what this means
to etch her name in the history books.

1741
01:45:46,506 --> 01:45:50,077
[audience booing]

1742
01:45:51,978 --> 01:45:57,384
[Vic] Barrett, wherever González goes,
destruction surely follows.

1743
01:45:57,451 --> 01:46:00,353
[Wade] We have witnessed Raquel González

1744
01:46:00,420 --> 01:46:06,626
smash furniture, walls, barricades,
and most importantly of all,

1745
01:46:06,693 --> 01:46:11,264
every single one of her opponents,
she has stepped in the ring with,

1746
01:46:11,331 --> 01:46:16,636
and talking about destruction today, will
destroy the reign of Io Shirai tonight.

1747
01:46:19,339 --> 01:46:23,110
[Vic] Beth, as someone who was physically
denominating during her time in the ring,

1748
01:46:23,176 --> 01:46:26,913
like in your hall of fame career,
is tonight the night for Raquel González?

1749
01:46:26,980 --> 01:46:29,750
[Beth] Raquel González
has been checking all the boxes

1750
01:46:29,816 --> 01:46:32,152
physically, emotionally, mentally.

1751
01:46:32,219 --> 01:46:35,255
My heart is telling me
this will be her night.

1752
01:46:37,257 --> 01:46:41,094
[Io Shirai's music plays]

1753
01:46:49,736 --> 01:46:53,373
[audience cheering]

1754
01:46:53,440 --> 01:46:58,345
[Vic] Can Io Shirai
rise to the occasion once more?

1755
01:46:58,411 --> 01:47:01,348
[Beth] We're talking about NXT TakeOver,

1756
01:47:01,415 --> 01:47:05,752
where Io Shirai makes moments
that live in history forever.

1757
01:47:05,819 --> 01:47:08,822
Rising to the occasion
is just what she does,

1758
01:47:08,889 --> 01:47:11,992
she demanded this opportunity
against Raquel González

1759
01:47:12,058 --> 01:47:14,461
because she knows
the force that González is.

1760
01:47:14,528 --> 01:47:16,863
She wants to continue to prove herself

1761
01:47:16,930 --> 01:47:20,567
as the most dominant Women's champion
in recent history.

1762
01:47:26,573 --> 01:47:30,310
[Vic] Just receiving word
that WWE Hall of famer, Lita,

1763
01:47:30,377 --> 01:47:32,446
has joined our watch along crew.

1764
01:47:32,512 --> 01:47:35,916
Everyone has eyes on NXT TakeOver,

1765
01:47:35,982 --> 01:47:40,020
everyone's eyes are glued
right now on our main event,

1766
01:47:40,821 --> 01:47:44,624
highlighting
the best Women's division in the world.

1767
01:47:46,626 --> 01:47:48,161
[bell rings]

1768
01:47:48,228 --> 01:47:51,398
[female announcer] The following contest
scheduled for one-fall

1769
01:47:51,465 --> 01:47:57,404
is for the NXT Women's Championship.

1770
01:47:59,105 --> 01:48:00,807
[audience cheering]

1771
01:48:00,874 --> 01:48:03,376
[female announcer]
Introducing the challenger,

1772
01:48:03,443 --> 01:48:09,950
from Rio Grande Valley, Texas,
Raquel González.

1773
01:48:10,016 --> 01:48:13,820
[audience booing]

1774
01:48:13,887 --> 01:48:17,591
Her opponent from Tokyo, Japan,

1775
01:48:17,657 --> 01:48:23,163
she is NXT Women's champion,

1776
01:48:23,230 --> 01:48:26,700
io Shirai.

1777
01:48:26,766 --> 01:48:28,835
[audience cheering]

1778
01:48:28,902 --> 01:48:33,273
[Vic] As you can see the accolades,
300 plus days as NXT Women's champion.

1779
01:48:33,340 --> 01:48:37,344
Only two other women
have held the title for 300 days in a row,

1780
01:48:37,410 --> 01:48:40,213
Women's champion, currently Asuka,

1781
01:48:40,280 --> 01:48:43,750
one half of the current WWE Women's
Tag Team champion, Shayna Baszler.

1782
01:48:43,817 --> 01:48:46,319
[Beth] The tale of the tape
is cool and everything,

1783
01:48:46,386 --> 01:48:48,455
but I'm looking at the face of Io Shirai,

1784
01:48:48,522 --> 01:48:50,924
and there is no place
she is more comfortable…

1785
01:48:50,991 --> 01:48:51,958
[bell rings]

1786
01:48:52,025 --> 01:48:53,727
…or confident than in this ring.

1787
01:48:53,793 --> 01:48:55,462
[Vic] Shirai chargingat González,

1788
01:48:55,529 --> 01:48:58,265
and it was Shirai
that said she will not die.

1789
01:48:58,331 --> 01:49:02,168
[Wade] Absolutely not, trying to catch
Raquel González cold.

1790
01:49:02,235 --> 01:49:06,206
Of course, you would imagine some nerves
in the challenger, Raquel González,

1791
01:49:06,273 --> 01:49:08,742
biggest match of her career.

1792
01:49:08,808 --> 01:49:10,677
González riding that early storm,

1793
01:49:10,744 --> 01:49:13,513
and as I would've imagined,
taking control of this one.

1794
01:49:13,580 --> 01:49:16,549
[Vic] González, of course,
has beaten Io Shirai in the past.

1795
01:49:16,616 --> 01:49:19,486
Do you think there doubt
in the champion right now, Beth?

1796
01:49:19,553 --> 01:49:23,023
[Wade] There has to be, take a--
I'm sorry, Beth, what's your opinion?

1797
01:49:23,089 --> 01:49:25,425
[Beth] Oh no, no worries, Wade.
My opinion is,

1798
01:49:25,492 --> 01:49:28,361
obviously, there's got to be
some doubt in Io's mind,

1799
01:49:28,428 --> 01:49:30,030
because of that one moment.

1800
01:49:30,096 --> 01:49:33,600
That's what she's here to vanquish,
to eliminate, erase that moment.

1801
01:49:33,667 --> 01:49:37,470
[Vic] Whoa. There's the strength
of González on display,

1802
01:49:37,537 --> 01:49:40,974
but the Genius,
Io Shirai using her smarts.

1803
01:49:41,041 --> 01:49:43,243
Now, Shirai charging right in,

1804
01:49:43,310 --> 01:49:47,047
but again, just being overpowered
by González at this moment.

1805
01:49:47,113 --> 01:49:50,383
[Wade] González, of course,
all power and strength in this one.

1806
01:49:50,450 --> 01:49:53,186
Io Shirai claims she can beat González

1807
01:49:53,253 --> 01:49:55,655
with a combination
of high flying and quickness.

1808
01:49:55,722 --> 01:49:58,358
[Vic] For Io Shirai,
has to use her quickness,

1809
01:49:58,425 --> 01:50:02,462
but we got to remember the X-Factor
in Dakota Kai on the outside of the ring.

1810
01:50:02,529 --> 01:50:07,434
[Wade] Oh, my word. The powerhouse
in the match, Raquel González

1811
01:50:07,500 --> 01:50:09,302
already taken off her feet here.

1812
01:50:09,369 --> 01:50:12,672
Shirai doing some real damage
to Raquel González.

1813
01:50:12,739 --> 01:50:16,309
[Beth] We can't forget the physicality
that we saw on TV last week

1814
01:50:16,376 --> 01:50:20,680
when Raquel González continued
to level Io Shirai over and over again

1815
01:50:20,747 --> 01:50:22,616
and nothing could keep her down.

1816
01:50:22,682 --> 01:50:26,853
[Wade] I got to say, Vic, you mentioned
Kai might be the X-Factor in this one.

1817
01:50:26,920 --> 01:50:32,525
Remember, Dakota Kai took on
Io Shirai at NXT TakeOver 30.

1818
01:50:32,592 --> 01:50:35,895
Very close matchup, as we see
Raquel González once again,

1819
01:50:35,962 --> 01:50:37,564
powering out of this one.

1820
01:50:37,630 --> 01:50:41,468
-[Wade] Thrown to the outside.
-[Vic] González all the way to the floor.

1821
01:50:41,534 --> 01:50:43,670
Io Shirai putting a little separation.

1822
01:50:43,737 --> 01:50:46,806
Shirai now, will throw caution
to the wind whenever she can.

1823
01:50:46,873 --> 01:50:48,141
[audience cheering]

1824
01:50:48,208 --> 01:50:51,411
[Wade] Just putting her body on the line

1825
01:50:51,478 --> 01:50:54,914
in pursuit of this defense
of the NXT Championship.

1826
01:50:54,981 --> 01:50:57,450
As I was saying though,
Dakota Kai has that-- Oh!

1827
01:50:57,517 --> 01:50:58,585
[Vic] Wait a minute.

1828
01:50:58,652 --> 01:51:01,721
[Wade] Involving herself
in the matchup early on here.

1829
01:51:01,788 --> 01:51:02,756
[audience booing]

1830
01:51:02,822 --> 01:51:04,657
[Beth] You spoken in repeated, Wade.

1831
01:51:08,695 --> 01:51:11,064
[Vic] We can forget about the X-Factor.

1832
01:51:11,131 --> 01:51:13,466
Dakota Kai is gone.

1833
01:51:13,533 --> 01:51:16,202
Io Shirai, now, somewhat
a level playing field.

1834
01:51:16,269 --> 01:51:20,807
Shirai, could she capitalize now?

1835
01:51:20,874 --> 01:51:24,077
González, a little bit of time,
able to regroup.

1836
01:51:24,144 --> 01:51:26,546
Shirai not able to connect.

1837
01:51:26,613 --> 01:51:28,114
Oh, certainly connected.

1838
01:51:28,181 --> 01:51:32,485
[Wade] Swinging pendulum back heel
there to the chest of Raquel González.

1839
01:51:33,353 --> 01:51:37,991
[Vic] Shirai, no stranger to TakeOver.
This, her fourth championship defense.

1840
01:51:39,125 --> 01:51:42,595
[Vic] Up and over with the moonsault,
wiping out González.

1841
01:51:42,662 --> 01:51:46,666
Look, Io Shirai raised some eyebrows
calling the challenger a meathead

1842
01:51:46,733 --> 01:51:48,635
during the global press conference.

1843
01:51:48,701 --> 01:51:52,405
[Wade] Here's the thing, as you see
Raquel González once again taking off.

1844
01:51:52,472 --> 01:51:54,274
[Vic] Oh! Lawn darting the champion.

1845
01:51:54,340 --> 01:51:56,443
[Wade] Shoulder first into that pole.

1846
01:51:56,509 --> 01:52:00,814
Io did indeed call Raquel a meathead
at the global press conference.

1847
01:52:00,880 --> 01:52:02,549
I don't believe a word of that.

1848
01:52:02,615 --> 01:52:05,018
That's to me is Shirai showing some nerve,

1849
01:52:05,085 --> 01:52:07,620
trying to get under the skin
of Raquel González.

1850
01:52:07,687 --> 01:52:10,256
[Vic] Another count in the ring
and González--

1851
01:52:10,323 --> 01:52:13,093
[Wade] Why? Because Io Shirai is nervous.
She's scared.

1852
01:52:13,159 --> 01:52:15,695
She realizes
what a threat Raquel González is.

1853
01:52:15,762 --> 01:52:18,131
[Vic] Beth, of course,
early on in your career,

1854
01:52:18,198 --> 01:52:22,068
you had to step up to the plate. You had
your first championship opportunity.

1855
01:52:22,135 --> 01:52:24,838
[audience chanting
"Let's go Raquel" and "Let's go Io"]

1856
01:52:24,904 --> 01:52:28,741
This is González's first opportunity.
Do you see any nerves in the challenger,

1857
01:52:28,808 --> 01:52:31,177
who again is
into a cover and another near-fall?

1858
01:52:31,244 --> 01:52:34,447
[Beth] I'm looking at the screen
and if she has any nerves,

1859
01:52:34,514 --> 01:52:37,217
they're not on display
or affecting her performance.

1860
01:52:37,283 --> 01:52:40,453
Look, this is the biggest match
of her career up to this point.

1861
01:52:40,520 --> 01:52:42,555
Let's take a look at this right here.

1862
01:52:42,622 --> 01:52:47,260
González's performance,
utterly dominant throughout this matchup,

1863
01:52:47,327 --> 01:52:49,696
but despite
what Shirai's been throwing at her.

1864
01:52:49,763 --> 01:52:52,232
You know what?
You have to have that self-belief

1865
01:52:52,298 --> 01:52:54,701
when you're going
into a big matchup like that.

1866
01:52:54,768 --> 01:52:57,437
[Wade] Both ladies setting
their score out very early.

1867
01:52:57,504 --> 01:52:59,706
Exactly what you would expect,

1868
01:52:59,773 --> 01:53:02,342
the high-flying ability
of the Genius of the Sky,

1869
01:53:02,408 --> 01:53:07,046
Io Shirai against
the powerhouse, Raquel González.

1870
01:53:07,113 --> 01:53:08,948
[Vic] Oh! González hooks the leg

1871
01:53:09,015 --> 01:53:12,152
and Shirai able to kick out again at two.

1872
01:53:12,218 --> 01:53:15,955
This may be a point of emphasis
throughout the night,

1873
01:53:16,022 --> 01:53:20,927
González being able to keep
her composure as this match carries on.

1874
01:53:20,994 --> 01:53:23,129
[Beth] González has had
to stew in the fact

1875
01:53:23,196 --> 01:53:26,566
of what happened last week,
all week thinking about that.

1876
01:53:26,633 --> 01:53:31,237
Putting Io Shirai through a wall
was not enough to stop her from--

1877
01:53:31,304 --> 01:53:33,740
[Vic] Another cover,
off the trifecta of elbows,

1878
01:53:33,807 --> 01:53:36,209
and a kick-out by Shirai, one more time.

1879
01:53:37,644 --> 01:53:41,848
[Vic] González having her way
physically now with the champion.

1880
01:53:41,915 --> 01:53:46,252
It almost seems that González, Beth,
was able to weather that early storm.

1881
01:53:46,319 --> 01:53:51,157
[Beth] González, a durable athlete,
in spectacular shape herself.

1882
01:53:51,224 --> 01:53:55,495
Take a look at the power here,
just muscling up Io Shirai.

1883
01:53:55,562 --> 01:53:57,797
[Vic] Second time, again,
Shirai able to land on her feet.

1884
01:53:57,864 --> 01:54:02,101
Shirai, now going to try
to chop down González.

1885
01:54:03,136 --> 01:54:07,807
Shirai who has carried
this Women's Division for nearly a year

1886
01:54:07,874 --> 01:54:11,010
has defeated everyone in her path.

1887
01:54:11,077 --> 01:54:13,947
Wants to be the best,
to continue to be the best,

1888
01:54:14,013 --> 01:54:16,649
in the best Women's Division
in all the world.

1889
01:54:16,716 --> 01:54:20,253
She will literally take on
every challenger.

1890
01:54:20,320 --> 01:54:23,623
[Beth] You're seeing
the best of the best right now.

1891
01:54:23,690 --> 01:54:26,626
Hall of famers watching this matchup,

1892
01:54:26,693 --> 01:54:29,862
and Shirai's being bent
in ways it's not meant to be.

1893
01:54:29,929 --> 01:54:33,833
[Wade] Just a torturous hold here
from Raquel González.

1894
01:54:33,900 --> 01:54:38,338
She has to continue
this high-impact offense of Io Shirai.

1895
01:54:38,404 --> 01:54:40,073
Take it to the champion.

1896
01:54:40,139 --> 01:54:43,409
Take one back step against Io Shirai,
and you are done for.

1897
01:54:43,476 --> 01:54:46,246
[Vic] Shirai trying to figure out
her way to break free.

1898
01:54:46,312 --> 01:54:48,681
González, her way to hold on.
Up and over again,

1899
01:54:48,748 --> 01:54:51,884
Shirai would land on her feet,
champion ducks the challenger twice,

1900
01:54:51,951 --> 01:54:55,688
González finally grabs hold,
Shirai goes up, goes over,

1901
01:54:55,755 --> 01:54:58,124
takes out González with a double stomp.

1902
01:54:58,191 --> 01:54:59,259
[audience cheering]

1903
01:54:59,325 --> 01:55:02,161
[Vic] This is what has made
Io Shirai a fighting champion,

1904
01:55:02,228 --> 01:55:05,198
the ability to adapt to all challengers.

1905
01:55:05,265 --> 01:55:07,400
No matter how strong, no matter how fast,

1906
01:55:07,467 --> 01:55:11,504
Io Shirai has always been able
to figure out a game plan.

1907
01:55:11,571 --> 01:55:14,040
[Beth] Shirai such a compact,
versatile athlete.

1908
01:55:14,107 --> 01:55:18,811
Take a look at this, mid-air switch and
boom, across the sternum of González,

1909
01:55:18,878 --> 01:55:20,813
blasting the air out of her lungs.

1910
01:55:20,880 --> 01:55:23,316
[Vic] Shirai going around,
not able to connect.

1911
01:55:23,383 --> 01:55:26,286
Able to, however, take González down
with an arm drag.

1912
01:55:26,352 --> 01:55:28,288
Will the third time be the charm?

1913
01:55:28,354 --> 01:55:31,224
A feint kick right between the eyes.

1914
01:55:32,292 --> 01:55:36,963
The Genius of the Sky
with the challenger in her sights,

1915
01:55:37,030 --> 01:55:38,631
springboard missile dropkick.

1916
01:55:38,698 --> 01:55:41,934
[Beth] Did you hear
the impact of that dropkick?

1917
01:55:42,001 --> 01:55:45,738
[Wade] I'm going to tell you, the pacing
of this match is a surprise to me.

1918
01:55:45,805 --> 01:55:48,174
That really favors
the champion, Io Shirai.

1919
01:55:48,241 --> 01:55:54,447
[Vic] Oh! Shirai, pinning combination
to retain. González kicks out at two.

1920
01:55:54,514 --> 01:55:58,951
[Beth] In this moment, you could see
Io Shirai, NXT TakeOver, of course,

1921
01:55:59,018 --> 01:56:02,221
trending number one in the United States.

1922
01:56:02,288 --> 01:56:04,057
Everybody's watching this.

1923
01:56:04,123 --> 01:56:06,592
Io Shirai able to take González
off her feet.

1924
01:56:06,659 --> 01:56:10,396
[Vic] It's been the number one trend
by my watch for nearly two hours

1925
01:56:10,463 --> 01:56:12,398
and continuing to tick,

1926
01:56:12,465 --> 01:56:15,234
as Io continues to climb
all the way to the top rope.

1927
01:56:15,301 --> 01:56:17,637
González looking
for that one-arm powerbomb.

1928
01:56:17,704 --> 01:56:19,906
[Vic] González looking
to plant the champion,

1929
01:56:19,973 --> 01:56:23,042
who slides out the back door.
Looking for the pin, not able to get it.

1930
01:56:23,109 --> 01:56:26,913
Crossface by the champion.
Crossface locked in on González.

1931
01:56:26,980 --> 01:56:30,550
[Wade] Center of the ring too,
Raquel González eyeing those ropes,

1932
01:56:30,616 --> 01:56:34,454
but must feel like a million miles away
in the middle of the ring,

1933
01:56:34,520 --> 01:56:35,788
wrenching on that neck.

1934
01:56:35,855 --> 01:56:37,390
[Vic] Is González going to tap?

1935
01:56:37,457 --> 01:56:39,459
[Beth] The long, tall body of González,

1936
01:56:39,525 --> 01:56:44,197
she's got to use those limbs to reach
and scramble and claw to get to that rope.

1937
01:56:44,263 --> 01:56:47,200
[Vic] Challenger trying to find
a way to the bottom rope.

1938
01:56:47,266 --> 01:56:50,336
Shirai trying to hold on,
trying to pull back González.

1939
01:56:50,403 --> 01:56:54,073
She's reaching for the bottom rope.
So close is González.

1940
01:56:54,140 --> 01:56:55,308
Feeling-- fingertips.

1941
01:56:55,375 --> 01:56:59,812
[Wade] Final lunge, just enough to get
that giant frame of Raquel González,

1942
01:56:59,879 --> 01:57:03,316
but how much damage
has been done to the challenger?

1943
01:57:05,818 --> 01:57:10,456
[Vic] Io Shirai so close to doing
the absolute unthinkable,

1944
01:57:10,523 --> 01:57:15,261
making Raquel González tap out.
Shirai now on the top rope.

1945
01:57:15,328 --> 01:57:16,529
Top rope moonsault.

1946
01:57:16,596 --> 01:57:19,132
[Vic] Moonsault onto the stage,
onto the ramp.

1947
01:57:20,900 --> 01:57:27,073
The heights these two women are willing
to go to call themselves champion.

1948
01:57:27,140 --> 01:57:30,410
[Wade] Let's be honest,
if that was in the middle of the ring,

1949
01:57:30,476 --> 01:57:33,212
Raquel González would've been
pinned by now.

1950
01:57:33,846 --> 01:57:35,548
[referee] All the way back in, io.

1951
01:57:35,615 --> 01:57:39,252
[Vic] Again, you can hear the referee
using his own discretion.

1952
01:57:39,318 --> 01:57:41,521
Pinfall, submission in the ring,

1953
01:57:41,587 --> 01:57:44,457
only way Raquel González
can call herself champion.

1954
01:57:44,524 --> 01:57:48,828
This fight now is spilling
throughout the Capitol Wrestling Center.

1955
01:57:48,895 --> 01:57:50,663
[Wade] Io Shirai with a splint

1956
01:57:50,730 --> 01:57:55,168
delivering double knees to the face
of the challenger, Raquel González.

1957
01:57:55,234 --> 01:57:58,404
[Beth] Shirai, where she's most
comfortable on that top rope.

1958
01:57:58,471 --> 01:58:03,042
Spectacular moonsault,
leveling the taller opponent,

1959
01:58:03,109 --> 01:58:07,814
and then followed up with this wham
to the jaw, to level González.

1960
01:58:07,880 --> 01:58:11,417
Shirai is out here to prove
a point tonight.

1961
01:58:12,685 --> 01:58:14,720
[Vic] González just starting.

1962
01:58:14,787 --> 01:58:18,191
[Wade] Referee taking a very close look
at Raquel González.

1963
01:58:18,257 --> 01:58:22,395
She's taking a double-whammy
of blows at this point. Oh, my word.

1964
01:58:22,462 --> 01:58:28,101
[Vic] Look at Shirai. Oh!
The champion willing to destroy herself

1965
01:58:28,167 --> 01:58:33,072
to call herself the best damn
Women's wrestler in the world.

1966
01:58:33,139 --> 01:58:35,508
[Wade] That skull is 20 feet high.

1967
01:58:35,575 --> 01:58:40,046
Io Shirai, the Genius of the Sky,
laying it all out there.

1968
01:58:40,112 --> 01:58:46,018
[Beth] Here, you can see Io Shirai,
absolutely relentless with her attack.

1969
01:58:46,085 --> 01:58:47,987
There is nothing this woman won't do.

1970
01:58:48,054 --> 01:58:49,789
One more angle. My god.

1971
01:58:49,856 --> 01:58:51,324
[audience cheering]

1972
01:58:51,390 --> 01:58:54,360
[Wade] Oh, there is no price
on Earth you could pay me

1973
01:58:54,427 --> 01:58:59,098
to jump off something that high
onto a steel grate, no less.

1974
01:59:01,033 --> 01:59:02,668
[Vic] Peek of that steel grate.

1975
01:59:02,735 --> 01:59:05,271
[Beth] You could just hear
the impact of those bodies,

1976
01:59:05,338 --> 01:59:08,407
elbows, knees, hips
crashing on that metal.

1977
01:59:08,474 --> 01:59:10,943
[audience cheering]

1978
01:59:11,010 --> 01:59:15,248
[Beth] There's no way there's not
a broken bone in this equation. My god.

1979
01:59:15,882 --> 01:59:18,851
[Wade] Just count
the hang-time that Io Shirai had

1980
01:59:18,918 --> 01:59:21,787
before impacted a poor Raquel González.

1981
01:59:21,854 --> 01:59:26,292
[Vic] Look at Io Shirai, dragging
the beaten body of the challenger.

1982
01:59:26,359 --> 01:59:29,395
Io Shirai doesn't want a freebie.

1983
01:59:29,462 --> 01:59:34,100
She wants to pin
Raquel González in the center of the ring.

1984
01:59:34,166 --> 01:59:36,702
[Wade] Io Shirai is out of her mind.

1985
01:59:36,769 --> 01:59:40,573
Now, perhaps a sitting duck
is Raquel González.

1986
01:59:40,640 --> 01:59:42,642
[Beth] A familiar sight here.

1987
01:59:42,708 --> 01:59:46,212
[Vic] Shirai, top rope,
moon over moonsault.

1988
01:59:46,279 --> 01:59:48,047
Shirai into the cover.

1989
01:59:48,581 --> 01:59:50,349
-What?
-[Wade] No!

1990
01:59:54,921 --> 01:59:57,089
[Vic] What did we just witness?

1991
01:59:57,156 --> 01:59:59,692
[audience chanting "This is awesome"]

1992
01:59:59,759 --> 02:00:02,662
[Beth chuckles] What on Earth
Is Raquel González made of?

1993
02:00:02,728 --> 02:00:05,898
[Vic] This is all about
the NXT Women's Championship.

1994
02:00:05,965 --> 02:00:08,868
This is NXT TakeOver: Stand & Deliver.

1995
02:00:08,935 --> 02:00:12,772
The question is, who will be the last one
standing at the end of the night?

1996
02:00:12,838 --> 02:00:16,142
[Wade] Nobody in NXT has ever

1997
02:00:16,209 --> 02:00:20,479
kicked out
of Io Shirai's top rope moonsault.

1998
02:00:20,546 --> 02:00:23,282
What must be going
through the mind of Io Shirai?

1999
02:00:23,349 --> 02:00:27,019
Perhaps, it's the prove
of Raquel González. González back on top.

2000
02:00:27,086 --> 02:00:29,822
[Vic] González now using her strength.

2001
02:00:29,889 --> 02:00:31,524
[Wade] Single-arm powerbomb.

2002
02:00:31,591 --> 02:00:34,560
[Vic] This time burying
the champion on the floor.

2003
02:00:34,627 --> 02:00:38,698
González has to get Io Shirai
back into the ring,

2004
02:00:38,764 --> 02:00:42,501
only way the title can change hands,
pinfall, or submission.

2005
02:00:42,568 --> 02:00:47,273
[Wade] Well, this is exactly
how Raquel González beat Io Shirai

2006
02:00:47,340 --> 02:00:49,909
at the Women's Wargames match
back in December.

2007
02:00:49,976 --> 02:00:51,611
[audience cheering]

2008
02:00:51,677 --> 02:00:54,914
Of course, as you mentioned, Vic,
redundant outside of the ring,

2009
02:00:54,981 --> 02:00:56,849
but now Raquel is stirring.

2010
02:00:56,916 --> 02:00:59,518
[Beth] You've got to wonder
if all the risk-taking

2011
02:00:59,585 --> 02:01:02,888
has taken its toll on Io Shirai's body.

2012
02:01:03,823 --> 02:01:05,091
[Vic] González.

2013
02:01:05,157 --> 02:01:06,892
[audience cheering]

2014
02:01:06,959 --> 02:01:11,931
[Raquel] Shirai, when do you learn
to stay down, huh?

2015
02:01:12,698 --> 02:01:15,501
What's it going to take, io?

2016
02:01:15,568 --> 02:01:20,706
What is it gonna take?
You need to learn to stay down.

2017
02:01:21,674 --> 02:01:24,610
-[Vic] The defiant champion.
-[Wade] Uppercut.

2018
02:01:24,677 --> 02:01:26,679
[Vic] What a lariat from González.

2019
02:01:26,746 --> 02:01:28,581
[audience cheering]

2020
02:01:28,648 --> 02:01:32,718
[Vic] González now turning
the champion inside out.

2021
02:01:32,785 --> 02:01:36,722
[Wade] González has been knocked silly.
Can she get her feet underneath herself?

2022
02:01:36,789 --> 02:01:38,691
[Vic] Capitol Wrestling Center
on their feet.

2023
02:01:38,758 --> 02:01:41,594
González waiting
for that one-arm powerbomb

2024
02:01:41,661 --> 02:01:43,896
to stake her claim to the Women's title.

2025
02:01:43,963 --> 02:01:46,132
Cover. Two.

2026
02:01:46,198 --> 02:01:47,600
[bell rings]

2027
02:01:47,667 --> 02:01:49,368
[Vic] González makes history.

2028
02:01:49,435 --> 02:01:50,936
[Raquel González's music plays]

2029
02:01:51,003 --> 02:01:53,239
[female announcer] Here is your winner

2030
02:01:53,306 --> 02:01:59,145
and new NXT Women's champion,

2031
02:01:59,211 --> 02:02:02,982
Raquel González.

2032
02:02:03,849 --> 02:02:08,721
[Vic] González, the first woman ever
to be the NXT Women's champion,

2033
02:02:08,788 --> 02:02:14,126
and to have worn one half
of the NXT women's Tag Team titles.

2034
02:02:14,193 --> 02:02:17,596
[Wade] Well, what a reign from io Shirai,

2035
02:02:17,663 --> 02:02:21,534
almost a full-year long,
taking on all comers,

2036
02:02:21,600 --> 02:02:26,505
but this lady Raquel González
refused to be denied.

2037
02:02:26,572 --> 02:02:30,209
She should have been beaten
several times in that matchup,

2038
02:02:30,276 --> 02:02:35,748
but not gave up, and we have ourselves
a new NXT Women's champion,

2039
02:02:35,815 --> 02:02:37,550
and no woman more deserving.

2040
02:02:37,616 --> 02:02:41,353
[Beth] Man, I mean, let's take a look
one more time at this moment,

2041
02:02:41,420 --> 02:02:45,691
that will go down as one
of the greatest in Take Over history.

2042
02:02:45,758 --> 02:02:51,030
Io Shirai, thinking that she had it
all wrapped up here with the moonsault,

2043
02:02:51,097 --> 02:02:53,632
but even after everything
González endured,

2044
02:02:53,699 --> 02:02:57,136
it would not be enough to keep her down.

2045
02:03:00,272 --> 02:03:02,441
The aggression would continue to escalate

2046
02:03:02,508 --> 02:03:05,678
as González
not only kicked out of the moonsault,

2047
02:03:05,745 --> 02:03:09,749
but will rally in these last final moments
of the matchup.

2048
02:03:10,683 --> 02:03:15,821
[Wade] What on earth will it take
to stop Raquel González

2049
02:03:16,889 --> 02:03:20,559
as we see the final
closing moments in this match-up,

2050
02:03:20,626 --> 02:03:24,196
the one-arm powerbomb.
Nobody's getting up from that.

2051
02:03:24,263 --> 02:03:29,034
Io Shirai put away
finally after a historic reign.

2052
02:03:29,101 --> 02:03:30,836
That, ladies and gentlemen,

2053
02:03:30,903 --> 02:03:35,341
is our new NXT Women's champion,
Raquel González.

2054
02:03:37,576 --> 02:03:42,948
This is my title now.
It's my destiny. I told you.

2055
02:03:52,091 --> 02:03:55,828
This is mine. Yeah!

2056
02:03:58,164 --> 02:03:59,732
Yes. This is my title.

2057
02:03:59,799 --> 02:04:03,068
This is mine now. This is my title.

2058
02:04:04,270 --> 02:04:07,506
[inaudible]

2059
02:04:12,378 --> 02:04:16,415
[Vic] Don't miss, night two
of NXT TakeOver: Stand & Deliver.

2060
02:04:16,482 --> 02:04:17,983
[audience chanting "NXT"]

2061
02:04:18,050 --> 02:04:23,355
If there is anything like night one,
it steps the bar for Wrestlemania week,

2062
02:04:24,523 --> 02:04:26,459
but on night one,

2063
02:04:26,525 --> 02:04:32,464
the reign of Raquel has begun in NXT.

2064
02:04:34,200 --> 02:04:37,102
[audience chanting "NXT"]

2065
02:04:40,873 --> 02:04:43,342
