[theme music playing]
[The Rock] If you smell…
[Lemmy] The King of the Kings.
[John Cena] You can't see me.
[audience chanting "NXT"]
Whoo! Tonight's the night, baby.
We debuted in the Dusty Cup last year and won the whole thing.
-And thanks to our shaman bro, Riddle… -Yeah.
…we know exactly what it takes to get to the top of the mountain again.
Exactly. At the very top is this beautiful thing.
Don't touch it.
You know bad things happen when you touch the cup.
Get off me!
Ain't nothing bad going to happen to us, dawg.
-We're destined to win this thing. -True.
But all the hard work starts in three…
two, one.
["Swarm" playing]
[audience cheering]
-Come on. -Let's get this.
-Dusty Rhodes ain't nothing but a thing.
[Vic] MSK is fired up. What a way to kick off NXT.
Yeah! MSK, baby. Yeah!
[audience cheering]
[bell ringing]
[Alicia] The following is a first-round match
in the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic.
Introducing first, MSK.
[Vic] You heard them talking about the shaman. They are rejuvenated.
They have their path pack to the finals of the Dusty Cup.
[Wade] All right. Let me attack it, buzz kill.
They may be rejuvenated,
but it's gonna take a lot more than meeting the shaman.
-[Vic] Shaman. -[Wade] Whatever. I'm from England.
-[Wade] The shaman… -[Vic] Shaman.
[Wade] And taking herbal medicine in order to be victorious here tonight.
They need focus.
This is high-stakes against some top opposition.
[audience cheering]
-[Kushida and Jiro] ♪ It's Jacket Time ♪ -[timer rings]
["Ganbare!" playing]
-[Kushida] ♪ Kushida ♪ -[Jiro] ♪ Ikemen Jiro ♪
[Kushida and Jiro] ♪ It's… ♪
[Alicia] Their opponents, Kushida and Ikemen Jiro, Jacket Time.
[Vic] That's quite a first-round draw for MSK as Jacket Time gets their eyes
on the prestigious Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic trophy.
As you heard MSK say, last year they debuted in this very tournament,
went all the way to the finals and won the Dusty cup,
went on to crown themselves NXT Tag Team Champions.
But look, this has been such a news-worthy tournament thus far.
Take a look at some of these headlines including what just happened last week.
The Bracket Buster itself, Edris, Malik,
upsetting Legado Del Fantasma in the first round.
That sent the NXT Universe a buzz on social media.
[Wade] What a shocker that was, and what a banger we had last week
when the Creeds emerged victorious in their first-round match
against Briggs and Jensen moving on to the semi-finals.
[Vic] Let's take a look at the bracket because we learned
just before we went on air, it's the return of NXT Vengeance Day,
February 15th, and the finals of the men's Dusty Cup
will be held at NXT Vengeance Day.
There you see the brackets.
-Who will advance tonight? -[bell ringing]
[Vic] We're about to find out in match one of the two Dusty classics tonight.
[audience chanting "Jacket Time"]
[Vic] Already a very vocal NXT Universe as Jacket Time,
MSK squaring off in this quarterfinal matchup.
Look, this is the question though for MSK. Can they run it back?
[Wade] Of course they can run it back.
Look, they're a great team. We know that. What a 12 months they had
since starting out in the Dusty Cup last year.
This is hot crowd tonight,
but listen, the competition is stiff this year.
You got Jacket Time who are in there in this first-round match.
The Creeds, of course, that we already saw with that banger
against Briggs and Jensen last week.
Enofe and Blade who as you mentioned pulled off a shocker of all time
in that bracket-busting win against Legado.
-[Vic] Tag. -[Wade] The competition this year
-is as stiff as ever. -[Vic] Wes Lee is the legal superstar.
Look, I'm not one to always want to talk about nice things about you,
as a cover is made, Lee looking to knock off Kushida
who kicks out, you've won the King of the Ring tournament.
-You won season one of NXT. -[thuds]
[Vic] How hard is it to win back-to-back tournaments?
[Wade] It's about time you said something nice.
-[Vic] I already did. -[Wade] Thank you very much, Vic Joseph.
[Wade] Listen, just look at the Super Bowl champions,
Tom Brady and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers this past weekend,
same thing as last year they are already eliminated.
-It might be the same for MSK. -[thuds]
[Wade] Their biggest asset last year was their quantity of the unknown.
They had unique offense.
Nobody quite knew what to expect from them.
-This year the cat's out of the bag. -[thuds]
[Vic] Look at the quickness of both these superstars on display.
Lee able to hop out of the way.
You talked about uniqueness,
that's a great word to describe Ikemen Jiro.
[Vic] Great jacket, by the way. Oh!
[Wade] Not all uniqueness is created equal.
I cannot possibly compliment the fashion styles of Ikemen Jiro.
[Vic] Both these teams squaring off here tonight.
You got to agree that there's a lot of similarities
between both of these first-round opponents.
[Wade] Absolutely. All four are in the ring, though.
The high-flying, high-risk, unpredictable offense.
-The big difference for me… -[audience chanting "Ikemen"]
[Wade] …being the experience and chemistry of the two teams.
Look, MSK, they've been joined at the hip for years.
-They know each other so well. -Jacket Time,
-they are a relatively new combination. -[Vic] Ooh!
[Wade] Don't quite have that same level of chemistry as MSK yet.
[Vic] How about the chemistry on display and the strikes of Jacket Time?
-Oh! Bulldog out of the corner. -[thuds]
[Vic] Kushida the legal superstar feeding off the energy,
the NXT Universe has been fired up as we mentioned all night on their feet.
-This is the reason why. -[audience cheering]
High octane offense from both of these teams.
You look around at the NXT Universe how close they are to the action.
It gets no closer than this here at NXT.
[Wade] I'm telling you the bass in this building has been turned up to 11.
Obviously, we got Ollie Jayy performing a little later tonight.
I'm sure she's going to blow the minds of this audience.
[audience cheering]
[Vic] Oh, what a shot from Wes Lee,
taking a lot of punishment in this matchup.
Look, when it comes to MSK, a tag was made.
Oh, combination offense now from Wes Lee and Nash Carter.
-[grunts] -[audience cheering]
[Wade] Wes tries a little Bronco buster going on here.
Constantly developing their offense, are MSK.
[Vic] MSK has been excited all night.
They were impressed last night, as a cover was made,
hook of the leg, shoulders are down, and Kushida breaks up the count.
MSK was very impressed with the shaman
that being Riddle's spelling bee last night.
As take a look at the action one more time.
Boom!
There's some of that high-octane offense as close as it gets.
[Wade] You mentioned that spelling bee on RAW yesterday,
I was impressed with Riddle's spelling.
There was some tough words on there,
but I personally cannot wait to see Otis racing Randy Orton
on a scooter next week on RAW. That's one for the ages.
-[audience chanting "Jacket Time"] -[Wade] Randy Orton in a scooter?
-[audience chanting "Jacket Time"] -[Vic] You hear Jacket Time ringing out.
I wonder how that gets under the skin of MSK!
As Jacket Time back in control with Jiro swinging wildly
[inaudible], and what a right hand!
[Wade] Two popular tag teams in there tonight.
It has to be said no matter who loses it's going to be a shocker.
-[Vic] Oh! -[audience grunt]
[Vic] Oh! What a kick from Wes Lee.
MSK all night, all day.
[Vic] Back live on NXT quarterfinals of Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic.
MSK, the winners of the last year, they certainly had been in for a fight
in the opening round this year as Jiro and Kushida
throughout the commercial break
were able to change the complexion of the matchup.
[Wade] Absolutely.
MSK's managing to take back control from Jacket Time,
and now Ikemen Jiro in a world of trouble with Nash Carter,
exploding with aggression in that ring.
-[Vic] Whoa! Nice counter by Carter. -[audience grunt]
From behind German suplex, quickly snapping over Jiro.
[audience cheering]
-[Vic] Carter is now a flurry of offense. -[thuds]
[Wade] Fully reinvigorated are MSK and they are at their best right now.
[Vic] Standing shooting star. Into the cover.
Hook of the leg, and just kicking out was Jiro.
[Wade] So close to being eliminated were Jacket Time as we take another look
-at this unique offense from Nash Carter. -[audience grunt]
-[Vic] Bam! -[Wade] Beautiful bridging
-German suplex. -[Vic] Not to be out done,
take a look at this now. High-style, high-flying offense
you were talking about at the start of this matchup.
It's part of what makes MSK so difficult to combat.
[audience chanting "This is awesome!"]
[Vic] Well, it certainly is,
and this just the opening match of the night.
As now Jiro is able to fire back in his own right.
[Wade] Showing some Jiro-bility. I like that from Jiro.
I'm not always his biggest fan, but it has to be said,
in that ring, he can get the job done.
[Vic] Jiro now with the counter, dropping Lee.
Shoulders down, center of the ring and another near-fall.
MSK's an eyelash away from being eliminated.
[audience chanting "NXT"]
[Vic] Jiro in disbelief.
[audience chanting MSK]
[Vic] NXT Universe in disbelief.
Look, for Jiro he said on Twitter he was nervous tonight, couldn't sleep.
[Wade] It's about time he started taking something seriously.
He's got a ton of talent, but occasionally brings the division
into disrepute with his fashion antics
and at times dragging Kushida down to his level.
[Vic] Whoa, whoa, whoa, cover,
to advance to the semifinals, and Carter breaks at the count.
[Wade] Not a second too soon there for MSK
about to get eliminated in the first round.
What a shocker that would be.
[audience chanting "this is awesome"]
[Vic] Is this the moment for Jacket Time?
Kushida competed in the same tournament back in 2020,
can he advance here tonight in 2022?
Wait a minute. Lee, able to counter. Oh.
[Wade] Just a little slip on the top rope there from Ikemen Jiro.
Wes Lee managing to navigate his way--
-[Vic] Jiro's legal… -[audience cheering]
-Nobody home. High risk no reward. -[thuds]
[audience cheering]
[Vic] And the former NXT Tag Team Champions,
now have been able to weather the storm in this matchup.
Tag was made. Here comes Carter. Here comes Kushida.
[Wade] What a spent force in that ring right now.
All four men have taken one hell of a beating already in this match.
[referee] Come on, get out of here.
[Vic] And some textbook-- Oh, counter. Kushida had it countered.
Looking for a Hoverboard Lock. Looking for a submission.
[Wade] Completely locked in center of the ring.
[Vic] Is Carter gonna tap out? Carter somehow back to his feet.
Now Kushida's trying to cinch in the Hoverboard Locked deep.
[Wade] Look at the agony etched on the face of Nash Carter.
The only way out driving him back to his own corner.
[Vic] Look, Lee made the tag.
Kushida didn't realize and certainly realizes it now.
-Lee into the cover. Hook of the leg. -[audience] One, two, three!
-[Vic] MSK advances. -[bell ringing]
["Swarm" playing]
-[Alicia] Here are your winners, MSK. -[audience cheering]
-[Vic] What a match! -[audience cheering]
-[Wade] So good. So good. -[audience cheering]
[Wade] Once again this first round of the men's Dusty Cup
has been completely off the scale. Take a bow, MSK.
[Vic] Let's take a look at the updated brackets
because now MSK has advanced
to take on the Cinderella story thus far of the tournament
already with two wins in the Dusty Cup here this year,
[Vic] Blade and Enofe, but will this be another year for MSK?
Can they run it back?
Can they become the first-ever two-time winners
of the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic?
[audience chanting "That was awesome!"]
[Vic] NXT Universe is on their feet showing their appreciation
for these four superstars who show a sign of respect amongst each other.
You love to see it.
This is what NXT is all about.
["Swarm" playing]
[audience cheering]
Io, the men's Dusty Cup is in full swing.
Speaking of which, did you know I made my debut
-in the women's Dusty Cup last year? -Oh.
Which is now right around the corner.
Look, I have been rehabbing my knee like crazy,
but I'm just not gonna be ready in time.
-So? -So, you need to find a new partner.
Hey. Look, Io, you have done everything there is to do in NXT.
How amazing would it be to put your name onto that trophy?
I don't want a new partner.
Hold up.
You don't want a new partner because you like me as your partner.
-No. I never said that. -Yes. That's exactly what you just said.
-I heard exactly. I know it. -OMG.
What are you wearing?
Did you find that off the clearance rack?
Anyway, were you guys talking about the Dusty Cup?
Io, you'll have plenty of time to find a partner for the Dusty Cup
after I beat you tonight.
-Toodles. -What?
[speaking Japanese]
[Vic] It's good to see a friendship blossoming
between Stark and Shirai, but how about MSK?
Can they make history this year?
["Soul March" playing]
[Alicia] Please welcome Legado Del Fantasma.
[Vic] Well, we know the history between these two teams
and you can feel the tension already in the air
as when we return we will hear from the leader
of Legado Del Fantasma, Santos Escobar, next on NXT.
[suspense music playing]
Tony D'Angelo, last week before I put that portrait over your head,
I heard you talking about your boys.
The brick, the stick.
Well, I got some boys of my own.
Ben, Benjie, and a whole lot of friends.
[chuckles] But tonight, we're not here to talk about our boys.
[Grimes] Tonight we're here to see who is the better man.
Who is the tougher man?
In NXT 2.0 there is no man tougher than Cameron Grimes.
Tony D, I'm gonna have to drop you off in little Italy
because I'm on my way to Vengeance Day to face Carmelo Hayes
and take that North American Championship
to the moon.
[audience chanting "to the moon"]
[Vic] Eh, no doubt Cameron Grimes as confident as always,
but as we say moments ago, pulling up in style here at NXT,
Trick Williams, the North American Champion, pushin' P,
and they had a very special guest with them
that will be performing later on tonight live,
the one and only Ollie Jayy.
It is good to be Carmelo Hayes.
[audience cheering]
Each and every week, ever since Bron Breakker
has shown his hideous, ugly face on NXT,
every single superstar says the same thing.
Well, at first they go for the low-hanging fruit.
They mock him because of his father, because of his uncle,
and of course…
because of his family's poor, poor math skills.
Then when the jokes are done everybody tells Bron
just how special he is
and how he's not only going to be a huge star someday,
some even have the nerve to call him a huge star right now.
Can you believe that?
I won't do that.
[speaking Spanish]
I pride myself in being real from the start
because that's a trait that was passed on to me by my father.
You see, Bron, me and you, we come from similar upbringings,
which is why you and your family don't impress me
and you don't intimidate me.
[audience cheering]
-The truth is I don't like you. -[audience chanting "Legado"]
Actually, I despise you.
I despise how fast you got here,
how you've been given all these opportunities,
but most of all I despise…
that you won the NXT Championship before me.
You've only been here a handful of months and you already make me sick. I have--
[audience cheering]
["Fear No Evil" playing]
[Vic] A lot of talking from Santos Escobar.
He talked about being real? Bron Breakker is as real as it gets.
[Wade] That championship on his shoulder is certainly as real as it gets.
The absolute top prize here in NXT and it belongs right now to Bron Breakker.
[audience cheering]
Oh, let's get to it, shall we?
Santos, I think you're a great superstar…
[indistinct chatter]
…but you're insecure.
You need him, you need him, and you need her.
You're right.
We did have a similar upbringing you and I,
but my family taught me to handle business head-on.
-Your family-- -Don't you talk about my family.
Hey! [speaking Spanish]
[audience cheering]
Champ's speaking.
Issue the challenge, I'll accept it.
It's that simple.
Well, you have a huge target on your back for someone that's always alone.
But like I said, champ, young champ,
things are done on my time.
Trust me, Bron, confía en mí, when I'm ready, you'll know.
[clicks tongue]
[audience cheering and booing]
[audience chanting "Legado"]
[Vic] Oh, Santos-- Oh!
[Wade] Oh, the bag of tricks of Santos Escobar is unleashed.
[Vic] Not going to work tonight, though.
Breakker cleaning house.
[audience cheering]
Look! [inaudible]
-Yeah! Look! Watch out [inaudible] -[inaudible]
Right here. Come here. [inaudible]
-What you got there [inaudible]. -Get in the ring, right here.
All you gonna do is get in the ring. Get in the ring. Right here.
[Bron] I'm the fricking champ.
[speaking Chinese]
I don't understand you. You on your own, man.
[Vic] Solo Sikoa ignoring Boa.
[speaking Chinese]
-[Vic] What the hell is this? -[grunts]
[Wade] I don't think Boa understands the power that he holds.
[audience] Boa, what are you doing, Boa?
[Sikoa] I said I'll take on whoever shows up.
We take it to the next level.
Solo Sikoa.
[speaking Chinese]
-[Vic] Whoa. -[Wade] What the hell was that?
-[referee] Medical, medical. -[Man 1] We need medical, medical.
-[Man 1] Are you okay? -[referee] Relax, just relax.
I don't care where it goes, the ring, the streets, the locker room.
[Sikoa] Boa, bring your battle paint because I got mine.
[Vic] Solo, Boa, next!
["Get Real" playing]
[bell ringing]
[Alicia] The following is a no disqualification,
falls count anywhere match.
-Introducing first, Solo-- -[Vic] Whoa!
[Vic] It's Sikoa, Boa-- Oh!
[Wade] Yes, no time for introductions here.
-This match officially underway. -[bell ringing]
[Vic] Yeah, there's the bell and this is no disqualification,
this is falls count anywhere.
This match can end anywhere, it can go anywhere, anything goes.
[Wade] Yes, well, it might be about to end very quickly.
Solo Sikoa not having his wits about him. Blindside attack from Boa.
-[audience cheering] -[yells]
[Vic] Oh!
[Wade] Can't even get out of the blocks here.
-[thuds] -[grunts]
[Vic] You can see the welts starting to form on the body of Solo Sikoa.
[Wade] Welts on the body, look at the scars on the face.
Those burn marks still there, two weeks on.
[Vic] Again, everything is legal and look for Sikoa,
he's had blindsided attacks, fireball to the face to your point.
Payback is on his mind,
but Boa has gotten out of the gates quickly.
[Wade] Yeah, there's something really off about Boa.
Just checking out the welts all over the body of Solo Sikoa,
but, of course, he has that bounce-back ability.
[Vic] I think we're gonna see a few more welts
before this matchup is over.
[audience chanting "Solo"]
[Vic] No doubt the NXT Universe is behind in this matchup,
but look, was it wise of Boa to pick a fight
with someone like Solo Sikoa?
A prized street fighter, look at the back of Sikoa.
[Wade] It looks disgusting already.
I got to tell you, look, picking a fight with a top street fighter
just outlines how little fear Boa has these days.
We don't really know Boa too well yet,
and to be honest with you, I don't think he knows himself too well.
[Vic] Well, right now Boa in control, and he won the battle for the steel chair.
[Wade] Interesting you say he's in control,
I don't think he has any control over
this mystical transformation he's undergone,
but what we do know is he is as dangerous as can be,
even more so with a steel chair on his hands.
-[clanking] -[audience chanting "Solo"]
[Vic] Boa's grabbing anything he can in this no disqualification,
falls count anywhere matchup, and now the strikes on display.
Bad intentions in the eyes of Boa.
[Wade] Spine first into that steel trashcan.
[Vic] Whoa, whoa, whoa, cover, and a kick out by Sikoa.
Look, I think it's point break in this matchup,
-it's more about survival. -[audience cheering]
[Vic] No technique, no skill, this is just a straight-up fight.
[Wade] Absolutely, as we take another look
at this butterfly suplex landing straight on that steel trashcan…
-[Vic] Whoa! -[Wade] …deforming it completely.
[Wade] Now, looking for more weapons of war, is Boa.
[Vic] We said there was evil intentions on the mind of Boa, but whose mind?
What's Boa thinking in this moment?
[Wade] A lack of thinking there, took his eye off Solo Sikoa,
the most durable man perhaps in the locker room,
but what a mistake that was by Boa. Now they're out of here.
[Vic] Talk about being unhinged, and this is what this environment's about.
Falls count anywhere, we said they could go anywhere,
and everything is legal.
[Wade] Absolutely, no winners in a match like this.
Somebody will get their hand raised at the end,
don't get me wrong, this is purely about survival.
[Vic] Boa said there was impending doom awaiting all those, especially Sikoa.
Oh!
-[grunts] -[thuds]
[Vic] Absolute viciousness.
-[yells] -[screams]
[Vic] What a strike.
This matchup typically you would say it would favor Sikoa,
but Boa seems right at home.
[Wade] 90% of this offense has gone in the direction of Solo Sikoa.
-[clanking] -[screams]
[Vic] Oh.
-[Vic] Oh, no. No. -[yells]
-[thuds] -[clanking]
[grunts]
[Vic] Sikoa might have just saved himself.
-[thuds] -[clanking]
[screams]
-[Vic] Sikoa destroying himself. -[clanking]
[Wade] A rugby tackle there against the grating.
[Vic] Sikoa said he would fight whoever shows up.
Again, it's falls count anywhere. Cover, shoulders down and roll.
Referee only here to count to three or hear someone surrender.
You take a look at Sikoa, and we talk about being a street fighter,
this is a man who was kicked out of his home at the age of 15.
[Wade] Physicality off the charts in that match.
Look at the state of that grating.
That garage door bent beyond all recognition at this point.
[Vic] Look at Boa, almost soulless when you stare into his eyes.
-[grunts] -As now the tables turn.
[grunts]
-[grunts] -[thuds]
[Vic] It was Sikoa, Wade, who we remember,
as now these two superstars have stalled to the outside.
[speaking Chinese]
[panting]
[Vic] Wait a minute.
Sikoa locked the door?
[Wade] Sikoa might have done the smartest thing ever and left.
-[grunts] -[clanking]
[Vic] And Boa finding a way to get to Solo Sikoa.
[Wade] Contorted garage door.
-[Vic] Whoa! -[Wade] Whoa!
[Vic] Surprise, surprise, from the prized street fighter.
[Sikoa] What's on?
[Vic] Boa said Sikoa didn't know the fire he ignited,
it looked like Sikoa just tried to put that out.
[Wade] He's got extinguished right there.
[Vic] Oh!
[Wade] Boa is in big trouble now.
-All the momentum back with Solo Sikoa. -[audience cheering]
[Vic] This fight spilling right back where it all began.
Wade, did you ever want to fight someone in the locker room?
[Wade] Hell yeah, I wanted to fight Kofi Kingston
when he cheated at fantasy football,
but I'll tell you, it was nothing like this.
This has gone to a level beyond the pale, completely boiled over to the point,
I'm worried about their well-being in this match.
-[thuds] -[Vic] Whoa.
[Sikoa] Get your ass up. Get up!
[Vic] There you can hear Sikoa just screaming at Boa.
Oh, again.
[Wade] Arena's getting absolutely destroyed,
but what on Earth is this doing to the body of Boa?
[audience cheering]
[Vic] Sikoa now could be looking for the finishing touches on this matchup.
[Wade] See his opportunity for victory, but Boa on instinct, perhaps,
smartly saving his progress in this match.
[Vic] Maybe some sort of desperation as-- Uh-oh. Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Getting a little too close for comfort.
Hey, Wade. Just listen to the strikes from Boa.
-[Wade] I can feel them. -[Boa screams]
-[Vic] Oh, huge lift. -[grunts]
[Vic] Presence of mind from Sikoa.
[Wade] Crunching the spine of Boa against the announce desk.
[Vic] And this desk, our desk, didn't budge.
[Wade] What on Earth does Solo Sikoa have in mind here?
[Vic] We said there are evil intentions in the mind of Boa,
same can be said for Sikoa here tonight.
[Wade] This is about revenge now for Solo Sikoa.
-[Vic] Oh, wait a minute. -[Wade] Absolutely.
[Vic] Wait a minute. Wade, you don't think?
[Wade] Don't do it.
[audience cheering]
[Vic] Sikoa!
[audience cheering]
-[Vic] It's falls count anywhere. Cover. -[audience] One, two, three!
-[Vic] Sikoa victorious. -[bell ringing]
["Get Real" playing]
[Alicia] Here is your winner, Solo Sikoa.
-[audience cheering] -[Vic] Say that again.
[Wade] Both men putting their bodies on the line.
Ultimately, Solo Sikoa with a death-defying leap
-is what got it done. -[audience cheering]
Hats off to both men. What a war!
[Vic] Solo Sikoa in the end willing to destroy himself
to destroy Boa, and what a-- Boom!
-What an angle! What a range! -[audience cheering]
I mean, take another look at the height, the hang time, and that crash landing.
[Wade] It was 270 pounds crashing down from the very top rope
to the outside of the chest of Boa through a table onto the concrete.
This man, Solo Sikoa, survived.
[Vic] Sikoa silences Boa and remains undefeated.
[Wade] As we get a breather here,
who knows what is going through the mind of this man
after his destructive return last week.
Duke Hudson in action, next.
Imperium.
[speaking German]
Gunther.
["Hangman" playing]
[Wade] Gunther can go by any name he wants,
either way the future looks bleak
bleak for the rest of the NXT locker room.
[bell ringing]
[Alicia] The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
Making his way to the ring, Duke Hudson.
[Vic] Well, Hudson as we saw last week, a new attitude, will it equal new results?
[Wade] Come on. Of course, the change of attitude
is going to equal improved results for Duke Hudson.
Hudson jumped Raaj and Chen last week,
and showed a level of belligerence we've never seen from him…
-[Vic] Oh! -[Wade] …before.
[Wade] He's following that up right now with more of the same.
If you ask me what Duke Hudson was missing,
it was exactly that. A nasty streak of aggression.
Well, judging by this it looks like he finally found it.
[Vic] I mean, did he just wake up one day, look in the mirror,
-and take a personal 180? -[Wade] Oh, come on. He had to.
He was made to look like a complete fool repeatedly before.
Loosing at poker.
[audience chanting "Duke, you suck"]
[Wade] Well, that's not very nice. Getting his head shaved publicly.
At some point as a superstar,
you have to decide how you want your career to go.
Do you want to be a clown, a joke, or do you want to be taken seriously?
And thankfully for Duke Hudson, he stopped it in its tracks.
-[audience booing] -[Wade] Nobody is laughing now.
[Vic] Well, Hudson letting the NXT Universe know
just what he thinks of all those in attendance here tonight.
And now Hudson showcasing the power, showcasing the strength,
and is looking to plant Guru Raaj.
-[Wade] Oh. -[Vic] Oh.
-One, two, three. -[Vic] And you love
-this new attitude in Duke Hudson. -[bell ringing]
["Hangman" playing]
Here is your winner, Duke Hudson.
[Wade] Yes, I do. Let me correct you.
I've loved Duke Hudson from day one, perhaps a little--
[Chen] Duke. Duke.
I'm going to give you the respect that you didn't give me last week,
by letting you know, here I come.
[Vic] Here comes Dante Chen.
It was Chen who was jumped last week in his return here to NXT by Duke Hudson.
Finally, referees just trying to pull these two apart.
[audience cheering]
-[Vic] Oh. -[Wade] Chop block.
-[referee] Get out of here! -[screams]
[Wade] That is the leg that Dante Chen previously injured.
[Vic] The same right knee, I mean, Duke Hudson knew what he was doing.
Oh, no.
[Wade] Brilliant.
Well, a whole new side to Duke Hudson that we've never seen before.
And hell yeah. I love his aggressive side, M.
-He looks good with short hair. -Persia, you need to focus.
Focus? Me, focus?
All right, Mrs. Lumis, but honestly I am focused.
Good, because this match is huge.
100%, and McKenzie, all jokes aside.
Indi's been training her butt off recently,
and we're one step closer to winning those NXT Women's Tag Team Championships.
[Kay Lee] Championships, championships, championships.
We know that there's more to being champion than just postures,
but what Mandy Rose represents is the complete opposite
of that title around her waist.
You can add Gigi and Jacy to that list too.
Exactly.
Tonight both of you stake your claim to the Women's Tag Team Championships
and me to the Women's title.
Soon Toxic Attraction are going to realize
that the next photo shoot they do might be without those titles.
Guys, back to you.
[Vic] Thanks, McKenzie, and after what we just heard,
I wouldn't want to be this trio heading into tonight.
["Toxic" playing]
-[Wade] What? -[Vic] Why would I be?
[Wade] You wouldn't want to be a champion? You wouldn't want to be a megastar?
You wouldn't want to be the attraction in NXT?
That says a lot about you, Vic Joseph.
[bell ringing]
[Alicia] The following is a six-woman Tag Team match.
Introducing the NXT Women's Tag Team champions,
Gigi Dolin, Jacy Jane,
and the NXT women's champion, Mandy Rose,
Toxic Attraction.
[Vic] I wouldn't want to be this trio staring down the barrel of the bat
that is Kay Lee Ray, Indi Hartwell, and Persia Pirotta.
These six women are going to go at it in a six-woman Tag Team match,
and that's next right here live on NXT.
Welcome back to NXT.
I'm now joined by Santos Escobar and Legado Del Fantasma.
Santos, Bron Breakker invited you back to the ring,
-why not accept his offer? -Hey, no, no, no.
What the hell is going on, huh?
[speaking Spanish]
Yeah. No, no, no.
Breakker needs to find out what happens when you disrespect Legado Del Fantasma.
[speaking Spanish]
Clearly, our young champion just made a terrible mistake.
Now, these two gentlemen are going to get a piece of him one way or another.
He's going to have to fight them dos contra uno.
Unless he can find a friend, but that's highly unlikely.
He's the NXT champion and that is a very, very lonely job.
He's got zero friends.
[speaking Spanish]
It's safe to say his growing pains are going to continue.
Well, Bron said it himself,
he's the first one here and last one to leave.
Interesting. [chuckles]
[chuckles] I guess tonight we stay a little longer.
[speaking spanish]
[laughs]
Vic, Wade, back to you.
[upbeat music playing]
[Wade] It's simple, Bron.
You meddle with Legado affairs you have to deal with the entire familia.
[Alicia] Introducing Kay Lee Ray.
[Vic] We are set for a six-woman Tag Team matchup.
Look, Kay Lee Ray, baseball bat in hand, looking to smash some faces in tonight.
[Wade] That is ludicrous
that she is allowed to carry that bat ringside.
We know how much damage she can cause with that.
Listen, she might be looking to smash everything in sight.
-Perhaps if she wasn't so hostile, -[bell ringing]
more doors would open up for her here in NXT.
You think management want to deal with a headcase like Kay Lee Ray?
Hell no.
You play the game sometimes you get along with people.
-No, no, no. I want you. -No, I want her.
-I want Mandy. -Mandy! Mandy!
Well, Kay Lee Ray wants a piece of Mandy Rose.
Whoa, whoa, whoa, no, no!
[Vic] What's up with your fighting champion there?
Looks like a little back peddling.
[Wade] She's talking a little strategy, that's all that's happening.
[Vic] Oh, and tagging out. I see.
[Wade] You wouldn't understand strategy, Vic Joseph.
[Vic] Look, when you think of Kay Lee Ray, Indi Harwell, Persia Pirotta,
it's a trio that has championship dreams and it's on the line here tonight.
[Wade laughs] Championship dreams?
-[Vic] Yeah. -[Wade] Yeah. The keyword, that is dreams.
Take a look at Toxic Attraction.
What you've got there is championship reality
and that's far more important than anyone's dream.
[Vic] All right, well, you at least have to admit Hartwell, Pirotta,
Kay Lee Ray they're able to win tonight,
should they be in line for a championship opportunity?
[Wade] I would agree with that statement if they can win tonight.
That is a big if. I would advocate
for them getting championship opportunities
if they win tonight. That is a huge if though.
[Vic] Indi Hartwell into the cover. Hook of the leg,
and Jayne able to kick out at one and was out before--
[Wade] Listen, don't cut me off.
Pirotta, Hartwell, Kay Lee Ray, they are in there
with the three absolute best ladies in NXT right now.
That's why they have all the gold and all of the power.
-[Wade] Don't undersell it, Vic Joseph. -[Vic] Well, right now a tag was made.
In comes Dolin.
Jayne and Dolin certainly, to your point, Wade,
have had the women's Tag Team division on lockdown
since winning the NXT women's Tag Team Titles.
From behind goes Hartwell and then a good kick out by Dolin.
[Wade] The entire division on stranglehold around them.
It moves like that from Gigi Dolin that gets the job done in the ring.
When it comes to Toxic Attraction, we're all asking this about them,
are they distracted by the outside world?
-[Wade] You're such a hater. -[Vic] I'm not a hater.
-[Wade] You are a hater. Distracted? -[audience cheering]
Look, this is what you want from the champions.
You want the photo shoots, the red carpets,
the commercials on their off date.
It promotes NXT, it promotes this brand, it gets more eyeballs on the product.
Right now the eyeballs are all on Mandy Rose.
-[Vic] A cheap shot from the champion. -[Wade] Absolutely not.
[Wade] Listen, the key is when you're having all these--
[Vic] Whoa, whoa, whoa. From behind, Hartwell almost pinned Mandy Rose.
[Wade] You're getting carried away.
I think these extracurricular activities that Toxic a do,
you just need to get the business done in the ring which they do.
This isn't like Baker Mayfield taking commercials
and leading the Browns to another loss every week, Joseph.
This is Toxic Attraction the best of the best.
[Vic] Pirotta in with the cover. Another hook of the leg.
Another kick out. Toxic A?
You're not even on first-name basis with these girls.
-[Wade] Are you kidding me? -[Vic] No.
[Wade] I call them Toxic A because we're close.
Did you not see the gifts they gave me? Signed Toxic A merchandise.
[Vic] What I see is Mandy Rose again running from Kay Lee Ray,
and now Kay Lee Ray's giving chase to the NXT Women's Champion.
Kay Lee Ray got her hands on Rose.
[Wade] Just baited in by Mandy Rose once again.
Just smart strategy from the NXT Women's Champion, Mandy Rose.
That's why she's the champion. A lot smarter than you, Vic Joseph.
[Vic] Kay Lee Ray right now taking it to Mandy Rose.
This is what Kay Lee Ray wanted.
As now Pirotta, Hartwell stalemate on the outside.
-What do you think-- -[inaudible]
-[Wade] Oh, Kay Lee Ray… -[Vic] Kay Lee Ray!
-Just wiped out all the champions. -[audience cheering]
[screams]
[Wade] A blindside attack from The Scary Queen of Scots,
showing why she is the forever champ from NXT UK.
As we take another look. Leaping from the top rope.
[Vic] It is Kay Lee Ray who stuck claims to the NXT women's title earlier tonight.
[Wade] Yes, she can stake a claim all she wants,
it's going to take something more than a claim
to get her an opportunity at Mandy Rose's championship.
Listen, I can stake a claim to enter the Royal Rumble.
It doesn't mean they're going to let me in.
Papa Shango will probably take my spot.
[Vic] You're out of shape if you can compete in the Royal Rumble.
Speaking of which, the road to WrestleMania
begins this Saturday at the Royal Rumble premium live event
as Persia Pirotta tags in and is going to work on Jayne.
Quick tag to Indi Hartwell. You've been a big fan of Persia Pirotta.
You got to get off the fence and drool over Mandy Rose,
but you predicted big things for Pirotta in 2022.
[Wade] Steady on. No drooling going on over here.
I have indeed predicted a big year for Persia Pirotta.
-She is my tip for the top woman in 2022. -[grunts]
[Wade] I like her powerhouse style, but right now--
-[Vic] Oh, come on. Referee distracted. -[Wade] Right now.
[Wade] As I'm speaking, this is Toxic A's time, okay?
Persia Pirotta is going to have good things happen eventually.
[Vic] Jayne into the cover, hook of the leg to put away Hartwell.
-Hartwell able to power out. -[Wade] What's the referee doing?
Start counting, you moron.
[Vic] A three-on-one from Toxic Attraction as now Jayne do senton
right down onto Indi Hartwell.
Look, when it comes to Jayne and Dolin,
they have their eyes on the Women's Dusty Cup
which will begin very soon here in NXT
as Dolin tagging right back into the matchup.
Dolin's trying to unleash some aggression here against Hartwell.
[Wade] I can't wait for the Women's Dusty Cup to start.
The men's has been off the chain thus far.
[Vic] Well, MSK advanced earlier tonight.
The final quarterfinal matchup still to come here,
-but look at Dolin, repeated kicks. -[audience cheering]
-Indi Hartwell far away from her team, -[audience grunt]
[Vic] and Hartwell desperately needs to make a tag.
[Wade] Hartwell has taken all of the abuse from Toxic Attraction thus far.
They've been absolutely pummeling there.
Clearly, Toxic A with a strategy of isolating Indi Hartwell.
[Vic] Now they're punishing her.
You might notice, Wade, Mandy Rose not afraid to tag in
when the competition is out.
[Wade] She's not afraid to stand on the sidelines,
call strategy to her team,
and then capitalize when the moment is right, Vic.
Stop being a blind hater.
-Look at this, just beautiful-- -[Vic] Another cheap shot.
[Wade] That wasn't a cheap shot. She was thrown that way by Indi Hartwell.
[Vic] Rose ran into Pirotta.
Turned around and then got sidewalk slammed by Hartwell.
This is the moment for Hartwell who desperately
needs to make a tag to Pirotta, and Jayne-- Oh, come on.
I suppose you're okay with this interference.
[Wade] Steady on. Jayne kicked to the outside.
Now is Indi Hartwell's opportunity.
She's got a fired-up Persia Pirotta on the apron
desperate to get into this matchup.
[Vic] Oh, no. Pirotta ripped down, and that opens the door.
I believe a tag was made. Dolin is legal.
-Hartwell doesn't realize it. -[Wade] Completely clean tag.
Once again the strategy of Toxic A is incredible.
[Vic] Cover, count, and Hartwell was again able to kick out.
Can Hartwell bounce back
in the six-woman tag team matchup here on NXT?
Action continuing here on NXT.
Toxic Attraction has been in control throughout the break
and is continuing to take shortcuts. The shoulder down and a kick out.
[Wade] What are you talking about shortcuts?
-[Vic] What? -[Wade] It's the game plan.
[Wade] This isn't a clean industry. It never has been.
It's about winning and losing. Toxic A are champions at winning.
-[Vic] Tag. -[Wade] What is your problem with them?
[Vic] There's an old saying he who has the gold has the power.
All the gold of the women's division here in NXT is with Toxic Attraction.
-[yells] -Get out of there!
[Vic] There's Jayne who just beats a much different drum than anyone else.
We've seen that in the past along with Gigi Dolin.
As Jayne there you go just unleashing-- Oh, there's a neck breaker.
Into the cover, hook of the leg, and another kick out by Indi Hartwell.
How much does Hartwell have left?
[Wade] It's the resilience of Hartwell that is impressive here.
Let's be honest, she barely knows where she's at right now.
As we're taking another look at this Spaghetti legs,
was Indi Hartwell taken down with that neck breaker by Jacy Jayne?
Almost enough to put this one to bed.
[Vic] Pirotta, Kay Lee Ray have been on the outside
trying to cheer on and hype up Indi Hartwell.
They have been fuming as well during the break, desperately
needing to get back in this matchup. Both women same idea, both down.
This is a crucial part of the matchup more so for Hartwell.
[Wade] Well, this is the big moment for Hartwell.
-[Vic] Tag. -[Wade] She races out.
She makes it, and now the powerhouse.
Persia Pirotta in the ring with Gigi Dolin.
Things turning sour rapidly for Toxic Attraction.
[Vic] You talk about a game-changer.
It certainly has changed with the emergence of Persia Pirotta.
[Wade] Eat it, into the turnbuckle.
-[screams] -[thuds]
[Vic] Big German suplex.
Pirotta to pin one-half of the NXT Women's Tag Team Champions,
and Jayne breaks up the count.
[Wade] Great chemistry between Jayne and Dolin and it needed it there.
-[Wade] Oh! -[Vic] What a spine buster from Hartwell
-who just eats a knee from Rose. -[audience grunt]
-[Wade] Perfectly executed on the jaw. -[Vic] Uh-oh.
[Vic] This is what Kay Lee Ray has wanted all night long.
[Wade] Referee's losing all control of this one.
[Vic] Kay Lee Ray might be losing control of her own emotions.
[Wade] This has to be a disqualification.
You want to fight messy?
-[audience cheering] -[Rose] [inaudible]
Hey. Don't do it.
[Vic] Oh, Kay Lee Ray, Mandy Rose is trying to head for higher ground.
[Wade] You're laughing? You're encouraging this?
-[Wade] That's a baseball-- -[Vic] Whoa.
-[Wade] Kay Lee Ray is out of her mind. -[audience cheering]
[Vic] Swinging for the fences.
[Wade] Mandy Rose better starts motoring here.
[Vic] We thought Solo Sikoa and Boa had evil intentions in their mind.
[Wade] What the hell is up with Kay Lee Ray?
[audience cheering]
[Vic] Well, Wade, this has turned now into just a Tag Team match.
-Pirotta starting to stir. -[audience cheering]
Dolin back to her feet,
and look at Pirotta now continuing to press on,
continuing to push, and now overpowering Dolin.
-[Vic] Inside cradle. Inside cradle. -[audience cheering]
-Shoulders down. Whoa, a near-fall. -[audience] One, two!
[Vic] But Pirotta back to her feet levels Dolin.
-And this would be huge for Pirotta. -[screams]
[Vic] Hoisting up Dolin, planting one-half of the NXT Women's Tag Team Champions.
-Cover. -[audience] One, two, three!
[Vic] Huge victory
-for Hartwell and Pirotta. -[bell ringing]
-[upbeat music playing] -[audience cheering]
[Alicia] Here are your winners, Kay Lee Ray, Indi Hartwell,
and Persia Pirotta.
[Vic] Pirotta just pinned one-half of the NXT Women's Tag Team Champions.
[Wade] Yes, I said it myself.
If that happens, she deserves an opportunity
at those Tag Championships--
As we take another look here at the power of Persia Pirotta.
[Vic] This on display, and you talk about a pendulum-swinging victory
-in the women's division. -[bell ringing]
[Vic] We talk about momentum, momentum being a crazy force of nature,
how about the momentum now behind Persia Pirotta and Indi Hartwell,
but how about the momentum behind Enofe and Blade in the Dusty Cup?
[upbeat music playing]
Man, I can't believe it.
[Blade] We're in the semi-finals of the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic.
Dawg, and we could go all the way.
Hey, I'll tell you what.
If we make it all the way to the finals and win,
we ask out Mandy Rose.
-We ask out-- What? -Yes.
I mean, sure, but she maybe would never even say yes.
Hold up. What do you mean, "never"?
[Enofe] People said that we never had a chance to make it this far
in the Dusty Cup Classic, yet here we are.
People also said that we never had a chance
to beat Gacy and Harland.
[upbeat music playing]
People said that we never had a chance to beat Legado Del Fantasma.
[Enofe] Let's keep on grinding, let's keep on busting brackets,
and let's win this whole damn thing,
-and after that-- -After that,
we'll go after the NXT Tag Team titles.
And go ask out Mandy Rose.
We'll see. We'll see.
"We'll see"?
Look, you ask out Mandy Rose and I'll ask out Gigi and Jacy.
Edris, I've seen your Instagram.
[Blade] You can be a bad influence on me.
Some might call it "toxic."
[Blade] Where's your shirt?
[upbeat music playing]
[Vic] Well, Instagram posts aside, it's hard not to believe in that duo
moving forward in the Dusty Cup.
-["Grit Your Teeth" playing] -[bell ringing]
[Alicia] The following is a first-round match
in the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic.
Introducing first, Grizzled Young Veterans.
[Vic] Here is a team that has had their eyes
-on the prestigious Dusty Cup, -[audience booing]
not just this year but for the last two years.
You can see these two putting in the work, talking about strategy.
They have said time and time again they believe it is their destiny
to win the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic,
to challenge and become the next NXT Tag Team champions.
Can the Grizzled Young Veterans move on?
Final-- Quarter-final matchup next here on NXT.
Back live on NXT, and earlier today Raquel Gonzaález
paid a visit from a familiar friend.
Hey, so you had a chance to think about it?
-Yes, and the answer is still no. -[audience cheering]
-What? Why? -I'm just not interested, Cora.
What do I got to do? Do I got to lift this weight?
'Cause I can lift this weight, I'll show you.
Don't hurt yourself.
This isn't proving anything.
-Is this about New Year's Evil? -No, this is not about New Year's Evil.
Look, I've won the Dusty, I know what it takes,
and as much as I despise Dakota,
she knows what it takes and does whatever it takes to win.
So can I.
Look, you jumped off the top of a cage, but that was one match.
The Dusty is round after round of grueling matches.
I need someone I can trust, someone who's going to get knocked down
and get right back up, and Cora, that's just not you.
-Yes, it is. -No, it's not.
Let me prove it to you.
-Hey, hey, hey. -Cora, Raquel stop.
-Easy, chiquita. -You don't need to do this, ladies.
Don't push me.
[Wade] I'll be the first to say it, Cora Jade is really good,
but she's not Raquel Gonzalez good.
Making their way to the ring, Bodhi Hayward and Andre Chase.
[Vic] As I mentioned before the break,
the last quarter-final matchup of the men's Dusty Cup.
[Wade] The first round has been unbelievably good.
Physicality, high-flying, shock upsets, we have had it all.
It is understood just how prestigious the competition is
and what it will do for the careers of whichever team ends up winning.
[Vic] The finals taking place on February 15th,
and the big news earlier today,
the return of NXT Vengeance Day on February 15th,
and how about that Saturday from Saudi Arabia?
The elimination chamber premium live event.
[Wade] Oh, my word! What a week that is going to be!
I've got to tell you, the elimination chamber
was the most painful match of my entire career.
I am so thrilled that I just watch it these days as opposed
to having to get into that structure.
[Vic] We got a great seat at this final quarter-final matchup.
The Grizzled Young Veterans taking on Chase, Hayward
of Chase University, and there's Andre Chase
who said once they win the Dusty Cup, enrollment it's gonna go through the roof.
[Wade] Of course, it would. Listen,
smart people want to be associated with winners,
it's why I associate with Toxic A, Santos Escobar, LA Knight.
The best attract the best.
[Vic] I don't think any of the individuals you just mentioned
would ever say they associate with you, Wade.
[Wade] You'd be very wrong, believe me.
They don't associate with you, that's for sure.
[Vic] Still to come, we will find out speaking of Vengeance Day,
the winner between Cameron Grimes, Tony D'Angelo
will meet Carmelo Hayes for the North American Championship.
As Andre Chase, a little bit of a teachable moment, wouldn't you say?
[Wade] Impressive stuff.
You know Bodhi Hayward is all ears and all eyes right now,
learning every second, soaking it in.
[Vic] There you see the Chase U student section.
There's really like a march field in here tonight.
-[Wade] Absolutely quite the atmosphere. -Give me a C.
-H. -[audience] H!
-A. -[audience] A!
-S. -[audience] S!
-E. -[audience] E!
-U. -[audience] U!
-What's that spell? -[audience] Chase U!
[Vic] Andre Chase hitting on all cylinders here tonight.
Making a tag, and in comes Hayward, the head of the class at Chase U.
[Wade] Don't undersell the achievements of Bodhi Hayward.
This audience certainly our first-ever winner of a Chase U
full scholarship earned mainly for the bravery he showed
protecting Andre Chase from the deranged Harland.
Loyalty is a key attribute for the alumni of Chase U.
To advance in the semi-finals, and a kick out by James Drake.
Look, Grizzled Young Veterans, as we mentioned,
no strangers to this tournament, but they're in there with Andre Chase,
who just made the tag,
and this is a whole different breed of team.
[Wade] Really nice chemistry as you would expect
between the master and the student.
Grizzled Young Veterans with more than they bargained for
in this first-round matchup.
[Vic] Look at Chase, peppering, and then a little--
Oh, tribute to the man himself, that being Dusty Rhodes.
-[Wade] Zack Gibson looks terrified. -[Vic] Wouldn't you be?
[Vic] Whoa, tag was made.
Gibson is legal, and this is some of that uncanny ability
-the Grizzled Young Veterans. -[Wade] That was smart.
That's why they are the-- Oh, my word. Oh, no.
[Vic] Up and over right into the shoulder breaker.
[screams]
-What? -What?
Do something.
This is what we get. This, this, this.
[Vic] Zack Gibson who is legal.
We said they've been to the finals two years in a row,
but, Wade, they haven't won.
[Wade] Yes, they've been the bridesmaids twice now in the Dusty Cup final.
They must get sick of that, and they know about that.
They hear the chatter, they see--
See the snide remarks on social media.
They just cannot get over the line. They must be sick of hearing it by now.
They have a chance to fix it this year, and it starts right here tonight.
[Vic] There is a bullseye now on the left shoulder of Andre Chase,
and Chase trying to fight off
both members of the Grizzled Young Veterans,
but he is in the wrong part of town.
Zack Gibson looking to make him pay. Nice counter.
Looking for the backslide. Shoulders down to go to the semis,
and another kick out, this time by Gibson.
[Wade] Just a millimeter away there from making that tag to Bodhi
Hayward, not enough though.
We've almost got a reversed tug-of-war here.
[Vic] Whoa, whoa, whoa. Up over again goes Chase.
Gibson is able to counter. Oh. Look at Chase.
Chase's being able to stay one step ahead of Gibson.
[Wade] Andre Chase has real technical skills,
and now frees Bodhi Hayward.
A prototypical athlete, a former linebacker,
and now he's using that explosive aggression of his here.
-[Vic] Looking to de-cleat the competition.
-Look at the strength, Powerslam. -[thuds]
Let's go.
[audience cheering]
[Wade] Looking like a young Clay Matthews in there right now.
Former SmackDown referee Clay Matthews, look that one up if you don't remember it.
[audience cheering]
-[Vic] Feeding off the NXT Universe. -[thuds]
[audience cheering]
[Vic] Hayward better stay focused in this matchup, as right back up.
Small distraction and right to the throat went Zack Gibson.
Tag was made.
And Drake wiping out Andre Chase.
[Wade] This is what the Veterans do better than anybody, distract and conquer.
[Vic] Whoa. Devastating combination offense.
Into the cover.
-Grizzled Young Veterans advance. -[bell ringing]
["Grit Your Teeth" playing]
[Alicia] Here are your winners, Grizzled Young Veterans.
[Vic] What an opening-round battle for the Grizzled Young Veterans
who do advance to the semi-finals for the third consecutive year
as we see an updated bracket.
We mentioned quarter-finals are over, semi-finals now are set
between these four teams, but when you take a look
at what we just witnessed in this matchup, Andre Chase, Hayward were rolling,
that was almost like daylight robbery by the Grizzled Young Veterans.
-[Wade] They didn't steal anything. -[Vic] Whoa, what the hell?
-[grunts] -[Vic] Von Wagner.
-[grunts] -[audience cheering]
-[thuds] -[Wade] Unreal.
[audience cheering]
[screams]
[Wade] Wagner's had it out for Chase U for weeks,
really had it out for anyone that gets in his path.
Robert Stone?
[audience chanting "you suck"]
[Wade] It makes sense now, doesn't it?
I guess we know who paid that hefty fine. Talk about a business mogul.
Von Wagner has been reinstated and is under new management.
[Wade] Whoa, genius, Robert Stone. What a transaction!
[upbeat music playing]
LA Knight, you thought you had me dead to rights.
Dexter Lumis doing your dirty work, but nah, nah.
[chuckles]
You thought it was going to be the end for Grayson Waller,
[Waller] but instead, my star is shining brighter than ever,
and now the Grayson Waller effect is going global, baby.
I've got the big man here, one of the biggest stars in Bollywood.
People adore him.
Now, he's my secret service,
protecting the hottest commodity in NXT 2.0.
LA, I know you're at a third-grade reading level,
so I really want to make sure you read that restraining order properly.
Maybe sound out some of the bigger words.
It'd be a shame if you ended up in jail,
but even if you find a way around it, it's okay.
[Waller] I'm waiting for you,
but Sanga is gonna want to meet you first.
[Vic] It appears Grayson Waller has everything in his favor right now.
["Tokyo Shock" playing]
[bell ringing]
[Alicia] The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
Introducing first, Io Shirai.
[Vic] Last woman on the mind of Io Shirai.
[Wade] Absolutely. She knows her tag partner, Zoey Stark,
is still on the mend right now,
probably needs a new partner for the women's Dusty Cup,
perhaps also looking at the singles division, though,
in Io Shirai, but right now focused on this next matchup.
[audience cheering]
[Vic] Welcome back to NXT. I want to take you back to last week.
Odyssey Jones as you can see writhing in pain,
-suffered a ruptured patellar tendon. -[upbeat music playing]
He's undergone successful surgery, Wade.
We will hopefully see him back very soon, probably this fall.
We know how hard he's going to work in rehabbing this injury.
[Wade] Absolutely. Listen, I suffered injuries during my own career.
Odyssey, get well soon.
I promise you you are going to be back better than ever.
♪ Daddy's little rich girl ♪
[Alicia] Introducing, Tiffany Stratton.
♪ Fake tan and her long blonde hair ♪
♪ She's the queen of the shopping mall ♪
♪ Everybody knows They can find her there ♪
♪ There's nothing much Going round in her head ♪
[Vic] Well, there's a lot swirling in the mind of Io Shirai.
As we mentioned, she seems very confused
-by Tiffany Stratton. -[bell ringing]
[Vic] Will Stratton's arrogance get the better of her tonight?
[Wade] According to this NXT Universe in the house, it certainly will,
but listen, I like a touch of arrogance about a superstar.
It can take you a long way in your career, but you have got to be smart.
Do not upset the wrong person. Io Shirai, one of the pillars of NXT,
and Stratton may pay the price now for rubbing her the wrong way.
[Vic] Earlier, we've talked about the Dusty Rhodes Tag team Classic
right around the corner.
Zoey Stark obviously Io Shirai's former partner right now
rehabilitating herself much like Odyssey Jones,
who'll be back very soon, but wouldn't you think the locker room
would be lining up to team up with Io Shirai?
[Wade] Yes, believe me, they are.
Every woman who is not currently in a tag team wants to team with Io Shirai
because everyone knows how good Io Shirai is,
caliber is off the scale, but the problem is with Io,
-she's rather picky as we've seen. -[Vic] That's true.
[Wade] Look how long it took her to take a shine to Zoey Stark.
I'm not certain if she even likes Zoey at this point.
[Vic] Look at Tiffany Stratton right now,
taking it one of the best of all time in this division.
This is just Tiffany Stratton's second match.
This is a tough draw, but she is bringing her A-game tonight.
[Wade] It's literally a tough draw for Stratton,
and we know she is a world-class gymnast,
she's got incredible athletic skills, but I don't care
how much training daddy has paid for,
it's not going to really prepare you for the genius of the sky,
that's the truth.
[Vic] Saw a little bit of Io Shirai the frustration coming out for a moment,
uncharacteristic of Shirai, who is usually a very cool customer.
As now, Shirai turning things around in the matchup.
-[audience cheering] -[Wade] Absolutely.
[Wade] Just what you would expect from Io.
[audience chanting "Io"]
[Vic] Io Shirai's mocking Stratton.
Look, we heard from Stratton earlier talking to Shirai and Zoey Stark,
and Io Shirai not a superstar who is ever worried about her wardrobe.
[Wade] Certainly not, but maybe perhaps-- Oh.
[Vic] Cover, and a kick out by Stratton at two.
Quickly now, Io Shirai looking for the submission,
trying to get the crossface in.
[Wade] Smartly getting to the ropes was Tiffany Stratton.
-[referee] Three! -Get off me!
[Wade] Io Shirai milking that for as long as she legally could.
-Listen, maybe Tiffany can take Io out-- -[Vic] Oh.
-[Wade] Oh. -[Vic] Oh, come on.
[Wade] Nice little distraction and capitalizing on it.
-[audience booing] -You don't do that to me.
-[grunts] -[audience booing]
[Wade] That's a little smart there from Tiffany Stratton,
that's a veteran move.
[Vic] Well, Stratton now in control.
You don't do that to Daddy's little rich girl.
In control of the matchup, and you take a look around,
you see some shocked faces amongst the NXT Universe.
Again, this is just the second match for Tiffany Stratton here on NXT.
-[Wade] It's a huge step-up for Stratton, -[audience chanting "Io"]
[Wade] and she certainly is coping with the pressure of a moment like this
against one of the pillars of NXT's Women's division.
[Vic] Io Shirai trying anything she can to wiggle her way free,
but Stratton's just holding on.
[Wade] What a shocker this would be!
This would be on par with Enofe and Blade beating Legado Del Fantasma
in the Dusty Cup last week.
[audience chanting "let's go, Io"]
[Vic] There you hear the NXT Universe trying to rally Io Shirai,
and another stiff knee to the stomach from Stratton.
Stratton now has her eyes set on Shirai.
[Wade] Beautiful.
-Tens all around. -[screams]
[Vic] Another cover.
Hook of the leg, this would be a huge upset,
and again Shirai able to kick out at two.
[Wade] Stratton can't quite believe it.
Might've pulled out the best move in her arsenal,
and Io Shirai kicked out.
[Vic] Stratton's bringing it to Shirai right now, and again…
You don't beat Daddy's little rich girl.
[Vic] I don't necessarily know what Stratton just said,
but Shirai hasn't been able to get out of the blocks.
[Wade] Higher pitched voice than you, Vic.
[Vic] Oh, open palm strike.
-[Wade] Rotate. -[audience cheering]
[Wade] Cleaning the clock of Tiffany Stratton.
[Vic] It is showtime for Shirai.
Shirai now done playing games with Tiffany Stratton.
We've seen this in the past.
Shirai's won many a championships, has climbed to the top of this division,
-and Daddy can't help you now. -[audience grunt]
-Moonsault, cover, count. -One, two three!
-[Vic] Shirai picks up the win. -[bell ringing]
["Tokyo Shock" playing]
[Alicia] Here is your winner, Io Shirai.
[Wade] Plenty to be said,
that was a stunning effort from Tiffany Stratton,
-but a fired-up, angry Io Shirai, -[audience cheering]
when she's on top form, is virtually unstoppable.
[Vic] You can take nothing away
from Tiffany Stratton's performance tonight,
but in the end, the hand raised high of Io Shirai.
Gunther? What an awful name,
I can't believe your parents named you that.
It should've been dumbass in all caps.
Diamond Mine doesn't care what you call yourself
or what your legacy "maybe" because everyone keeps talking
about this is a new beginning for Imperium.
No. This is the beginning of the end for Imperium
because the Creed Brothers are going to win the Dusty Classic
and then they will become the new NXT Tag Team Champions,
and then Roderick Strong, the leader of Diamond Mine, Gunther,
he's going to chop you down
like the big, dumb Austrian tree that you are.
Once he's done, Ivy Nile is going to stretch you
from here to your mother's house.
So, Gunther, next week, you bring your boys, I'll bring mine,
six-man tag big-money match.
You guys think you're tough, but compared to us,
-you're just some European pretty boys. -That's right.
We're a family of world-class athletes that'll take you down any time we want.
Gunther, no one out-trains, outlasts,
and outworks Roderick Strong and Diamond Mine.
So enjoy that victory from last week
because that is never going to happen again.
Because it's Diamond Mine forever.
[audience booing]
[Wade] Well, I agree with Bivens, that match is big money.
[Vic] Well, speaking of big, how about the big main event
that's coming up next?
-Who will face the North American Champion -[audience cheering]
at NXT: Vengeance Day on February 15th? We're about to find out.
Will it be Cameron Grimes or Tony D'Angelo?
Who is about to face this man, that being The A-Champion, Carmelo Hayes?
Now, as you know, Trick and Melo are always here to steal the show,
but tonight, we're here to introduce our girl to the WWE universe.
Ay, so y'all better put some respect on her name
-because she is the flyest chick-- -The flyest chick.
To ever step foot in a WWE ring,
-so y'all make some noise for OllieJayy. -OllieJayy.
Thank you, Trick and Melo.
-I am NXT 2.0. -Truth.
And this is my track, "Make 'Em Fall".

[Hayes] Make some noise. Make some noise for Ollie Jayy.
Let's go. She don't miss. [audience cheering]
That's how it is, and that's how [inaudible].
Tonight, Cameron Grimes… And Grimes, I heard your chirping earlier,
and it's gonna stop when I bust your face open
in about two seconds here.
After I'm done taking care of you, I got a date with destiny
and the North American Championship at Vengeance Day.
-Grimes, D'Angelo, next. -Oh, yes.
Daddy, did you see that? The ref was so unfair.
The incompetence level was just beyond. I couldn't believe it.
Hold on, Daddy.
Eh, don't feel bad. Everyone loses to Io.
-Ugh. -Hey, my free refill.
Daddy, there's so many freaks here. There's girls in pajamas.
I'm not a freak, I'm just comfortable.
[Vic] Well, let's look forward to next week
because there is a huge six-man Tag Team match
with the undeniable Diamond Mine, the unbreakable Imperium,
they will clash next week live here on USA.
[Wade] Not only that, Cora Jade will get her chance to prove herself
when she goes one-on-one with "Big Mami Cool" Raquel Gonzalez.
[Vic] As Santos Escobar tonight said, "Bron Breakker has no friends."
-Well, the NXT champion likes it that way. -[audience cheering]
Can Bron Breakker even find a partner? We'll find out next week live here on NXT.
-["To The Moon" playing] -[bell ringing]
[Alicia] The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
Making his way to the ring, Cameron Grimes.
[Vic] We heard Ollie Jayy's single "Make Em Fall"
performed live here tonight.
Well, it's part of the NXT 2.0 soundtrack, and the EP NXT 2.0 As Close As It Gets
featuring every program theme is available on Spotify and Apple music
tonight immediately, following NXT.
Well, we are set for a huge Main Event here tonight
with championship implications.
The winner of this matchup will face Carmelo Hayes
for the NXT North American title at NXT: Vengeance Day.
And Wade, we found out earlier tonight, Vengeance Day is back on February 15th.
[Wade] Yes, indeed. Cannot wait for that.
What a year it has already been in NXT, and it's only getting better.
[Vic] Talking about championships, how about Cameron Grimes
made the bold prediction that he would wear gold in 2022.
[Wade chuckles]
[Wade] Well, that right there, a statement like that from Cameron Grimes
is what you would call bulletin board material
for every superstar in the locker room.
That will grind the gears of his rivals, not smart at all, in my opinion.
[Vic] Cameron Grimes right now is staying one step ahead of Tony D'Angelo.
We didn't say anything about tough talk. Oh, nasty landing for D'Angelo.
-Grimes, oh! -[audience grunt]
-[Wade] Penalty kick to the jaw of Tony D. -[Vic] Wow!
[Vic] There you see the North American Champion,
Carmelo Hayes with Trick Williams.
This matchup really the brainchild from the A-champion.
[Wade] You're right. He was the matchmaker for this one was Carmelo.
He's not worried about anyone, though.
He's the North American Champion,
and of course, his confidence is off the charts
after an incredible six months here in NXT.
[Vic] Well, Cameron Grimes, as you see over
the shoulder from the North American Champion,
great view, as he is about to find out who he will face in a few short weeks.
As D'Angelo turning things around,
and when we talk about tough talk, how about Tony D?
[Wade] Oh, and now Cameron Grimes must be regretting that tough talk
in the direction of Tony D'Angelo.
Let's talk about his tough talk, Vic.
[Wade] Tony D has backed up the tough talk from day one,
part of the winning team in the men's WarGames matchup,
went one-on-one with Petey Poppins,
and split the wig of Petey Poppins with a crowbar.
When Tony D talks tough, you better listen.
[Vic] Well, D'Angelo certainly upset after getting outsmarted
by Grimes just last week.
[Wade] Well, you might call it outsmarted or whatever, he was upset.
-[Vic] Oh. -[Wade] Oh.
[Wade] Tony D last week was upset about having a handmade custom portrait
that he commissioned destroyed.
It was a work of art to commemorate the demise of Pete Dunne's career,
and we might be seeing the demise of Cameron Grimes right here.
[Vic] Well, D'Angelo's getting Grimes right back into the ring,
right where he wants him,
as D'Angelo is continuing to keep his foot on the gas in this matchup.
Grimes right in gets caught. Whoa, whoa, whoa.
What an interesting back breaker. Unique offense.
Into the cover, and Tony D'Angelo a half-second away
from earning a date with destiny as he mentioned.
Who is going to win?
[audience cheering]
[Vic] Oh, big belly-to-belly suplex by Tony D'Angelo.
Into the cover, hook of the leg, and D'Angelo was a half-second
from his date with destiny because the winner of this matchup
will meet Carmelo Hayes for the North American Championship
at NXT: Vengeance Day on February 15th.
[Wade] Huge prize at the end of this matchup
for one of these competitors,
and there it is, shining, blatant gold around the waist of Carmelo Hayes,
the North American Championship,
and right there was Tony D'Angelo almost getting his date with destiny.
[Vic] For Tony D'Angelo, he has made a list of enemies in the new year.
[Wade] Yes, but who cares about enemies?
Listen, Grayson Waller has shown everyone recently in NXT,
you don't need to be liked to be successful.
Tony D needs to keep doing what brought him to the dance
in the first place no matter who it upsets.
[Vic] Well, D'Angelo right back on top of Cameron Grimes,
and you talked about the tough talk.
Again, like him or not, D'Angelo's backing it up
-once again here in the Main Event. -[Wade] Yes, he does.
Every single time he is out here, got some of those--
[Vic] Cover, cover, cover, to head to Vengeance Day,
and a kick out.
[Wade] Some of the most collegiate competition skills
he is renowned for before he came to NXT.
Top-level competitor there, clearly transitioned well
to the world of sports entertainment.
[Vic] There again that amateur background coming into play.
D'Angelo's keeping Cameron Grimes close,
not allowing Grimes to gain any momentum,
even though the NXT Universe right now trying to rally Cameron Grimes
-in the late stages of this huge matchup. -[audience cheering]
[Wade] NXT Universe can help, but they can't do it all for you.
Right now the agony is all over the face of Cameron Grimes.
[Vic] Grimes reaching out. He can feel the energy.
-Can Cameron Grimes--? -[audience cheering]
-Does he have it in him here tonight, -[grunts]
oh, to try and get one step closer to fulfilling his destiny in 2022?
-Nice counter by Grimes. -[Wade] Swinging wildly at Tony D.
-[Vic] Whoa. -[Wade] But immediately back
into top gear is Cameron Grimes.
[Wade] Just when you start to count him out.
[Vic] You sound shocked.
You surely have learned not to bet against Cameron Grimes.
[Wade] Oh, I know full well at this point not to bet against him.
I lost every single time in 2021.
I'm not saying he won't do it, not saying he isn't championship material.
I don't agree with him a lot of the times, but he is a born winner.
[Vic] Oh, D'Angelo's able to sidestep Grimes.
-[Wade] Oh. -[Vic] Oh, turned Grimes inside out.
D'Angelo's quickly now crawling into the cover
to become the number one contender, and again Grimes able to kick out.
[Wade] Explosive belly-to-back suplex, as we take another look at Cameron Grimes
almost snapping his neck in his rotation.
Fortunately for him, landing chest first,
but it wasn't quite enough to close the deal for Tony D.
[Vic] Well, now just a hockey fight breaking out,
and that's the style that Tony D'Angelo likes.
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Inside cradle, inside cradle, and another near-fall.
D'Angelo's looking to put the finishing touches on this matchup.
Grimes though had it scouted.
[Wade] The midsection of Cameron Grimes has taken such a beating in this matchup.
You'd question if he can even suck in a lungful of air at this point.
[audience cheering]
-[Vic] Whoa, Grimes turned him inside out. -thud
[Vic] Into the cover, the cover. Another kick out, oh.
That might've been Cameron Grimes' best opportunity
-because out of absolutely nowhere, boom, -[audience cheering]
turned inside out, and you talk about close calls.
Take another look.
[Wade] Was oscillating wildly with that move, defying physics in itself,
somehow Tony D able to kick out, keeping himself in
for a chance of being the number one contender.
[audience chanting "this is awesome"]
[Vic] NXT Universe again coming alive for Cameron Grimes.
[Wade] Oh.
Looks like Tony D struggling to get some oxygen in those lungs.
[Vic] I think anyone would be struggling to breathe
with strikes like that across the chest.
[Wade] Tony D clearly winded at this point, wincing in the corner.
[Vic] Grimes again is charging in, and Cameron Grimes now
stringing together some offense,
but the door is shutting quickly from D'Angelo. Uh-oh.
[Wade] Walked straight again on that midsection.
Another suplex into the turnbuckle.
-[Vic] Another nasty landing. -[Wade] Into the cover, Tony D.
[Vic] Did you see the awkward bend of the neck?
Cover by D'Angelo, and again continuing to fight
and keep his championship hopes alive, Cameron Grimes.
[Wade] This beautiful suplex into that turnbuckle.
[Vic] It's hard to watch.
[Wade] The last thing that Cameron Grimes was expecting.
[indistinct chatter]
[Vic] Tony D'Angelo looking around.
What must be going through the mind of D'Angelo at this moment?
[Wade] He's thinking right now that was three, as are the NXT Universe.
This referee needs questioning after this matchup,
but this might be academic at this point
because barely able to stand up is Cameron Grimes.
-Just when you write him off-- Grimes. -[Vic] Whoa, whoa, whoa.
[Vic] And fatigue is starting to set in for Grimes,
who still had enough to hit the moonsault.
He still had enough to wipe out D'Angelo.
[Wade] You see Tony D flinching on the initial attempt
that was enough to put a little extra time for Cameron Grimes,
and he made it count.
[Vic] Cameron Grimes's hitting with everything he's got.
-Looking to full high crossbody. -[audience cheering]
-[Vic] Grimes is going to Vengeance Day. -One, two!
-[Vic] No! -[audience chatter]
-[Wade] NXT Universe on their feet. -[audience chanting "to the moon"]
[Wade] Absolute shock on the face of Cameron Grimes
and indeed everyone in the arena.
[audience chanting "to the moon"]
-To the moon! -[audience] To the moon!
[Vic] Whoa, I thought Grimes was getting ready to head to the Winner's Circle,
as now D'Angelo wisely sensing-- What's Grimes doing?
-Grimes. What the hell? -[grunts]
-[audience booing] -[audience cheering]
-[Vic] Pete Dunne. -[Wade] Armed with a cricket bat.
[audience cheering]
[Vic] Referee was distracted by Cameron Grimes,
did not see what happened.
Cave-in. Back in the center of the ring.
-[Vic] Cave-in. -One, two, three.
[Vic] Cameron Grimes heading to NXT: Vengeance Day.
[Alicia] Here is your winner, Cameron Grimes.
[Wade] What on Earth did we just witness? A bit of sweet revenge from Pete Dunne.
Every Englishman loves the sound of Willow on leather,
not so much the sound of broken bones in the hand of Tony D'Angelo.
[Vic] Well, Cameron Grimes not worried about Pete Dunne,
he is focused on the North American Champion,
Carmelo Hayes,
because not only can Cameron Grimes go straight to the moon,
he is headed, February 15th, to NXT: Vengeance Day
to face Carmelo Hayes for the North American Championship.
[Man 2] Bron, what's your thoughts on Legado's challenge?
-Who would your tag team partner be? -Listen, man. Santos is a numbers guy.
As far as the tag team partner goes, does not matter to me--
-You guys want to go? -Young champion, you have my title.
-I told you this is exactly what I wanted. -You want to go? Let's go right now.
Vamonos.
Yes, three-on-two sounds good to me, that math checks out. See you.
Subtitle translation by: Aparna Iyer that math checks out. See you.
