[WWE signature intro playing]

2
00:00:04,371 --> 00:00:05,638
[Cena] Then.

3
00:00:08,308 --> 00:00:10,910
[The Rock] If you smell…

4
00:00:10,977 --> 00:00:11,978
[Cena] Now.

5
00:00:15,115 --> 00:00:16,616
[Triple H] The King of Kings.

6
00:00:16,683 --> 00:00:18,051
[Cena] You can't see me. Forever.

7
00:00:22,956 --> 00:00:23,990
Together.

8
00:00:31,531 --> 00:00:33,533
[background conversation]

9
00:00:34,968 --> 00:00:36,569
All right, let's get it.

10
00:00:36,636 --> 00:00:38,772
All right. We got one down, three to go.

11
00:00:38,838 --> 00:00:41,307
That means two more
Melo-fication matches tonight

12
00:00:41,374 --> 00:00:45,245
to determine who's gonna qualify
for my A Championship at Stand & Deliver.

13
00:00:45,311 --> 00:00:46,379
That's right, Melo.

14
00:00:46,446 --> 00:00:48,982
We could be talking about
the viral superstar Grayson Waller,

15
00:00:49,049 --> 00:00:50,984
or maybe "The Spanish Sensation," A-Kid,

16
00:00:51,050 --> 00:00:53,053
or maybe Diamond Mine's Roderick Strong,

17
00:00:53,119 --> 00:00:54,854
or "The Street Champion" Solo Sikoa.

18
00:00:54,921 --> 00:00:55,922
Hey, at the end of the day,

19
00:00:55,989 --> 00:00:58,925
it don't matter 'cause they all fighting
for a spot in my ladder match.

20
00:00:58,992 --> 00:01:01,928
-And let's go check it out.
-Let's talk about it. [laughs]

21
00:01:05,165 --> 00:01:06,833
["The Tide Is Turning" plays]

22
00:01:06,900 --> 00:01:09,069
[Vic] Who will be
the next superstar to head

23
00:01:09,135 --> 00:01:11,504
to WrestleMania weekend in Dallas?

24
00:01:11,571 --> 00:01:13,440
Welcome to NXT.

25
00:01:13,506 --> 00:01:14,641
[bell rings]

26
00:01:14,707 --> 00:01:16,109
[Alicia] The following is a

27
00:01:16,176 --> 00:01:18,545
North American Championship
Qualifying Match.

28
00:01:18,611 --> 00:01:23,583
Representing Diamond Mine,
Roderick Strong!

29
00:01:24,851 --> 00:01:28,421
[Vic] The mind games already beginning
between Sikoa and Strong.

30
00:01:28,488 --> 00:01:31,791
It's been a big weekend
for Roderick Strong.

31
00:01:31,858 --> 00:01:35,495
[Wade] Oh, well, not only tonight,
Melo-fication match.

32
00:01:35,562 --> 00:01:38,064
I love saying that, by the way.
But also earlier…

33
00:01:38,131 --> 00:01:41,434
Well, last week,
Roderick Strong beat the mighty,

34
00:01:41,501 --> 00:01:44,037
Wolfgang on NXT UK,

35
00:01:44,471 --> 00:01:48,875
and now has set his sights
on NXT UK Champion Ilja Dragunov.

36
00:01:48,942 --> 00:01:52,145
Diamond Mine proving
that they are indeed a global brand.

37
00:01:52,212 --> 00:01:54,614
[Vic] Oh, you can…
Oh, nice take down by Strong.

38
00:01:54,681 --> 00:01:55,849
Quickly trying to get into a cover.

39
00:01:55,915 --> 00:01:59,452
And now both superstars down on the mat,
where Roderick Strong does excel.

40
00:01:59,519 --> 00:02:02,055
But we heard from the "A Champion,"
Carmelo Hayes.

41
00:02:02,122 --> 00:02:06,025
I mean, who do you think Melo would prefer
to face out of these two superstars?

42
00:02:06,092 --> 00:02:08,862
[Wade] Oh, well, talking of Melo,
look at this,

43
00:02:08,928 --> 00:02:12,165
he mentioned on Twitter
that he was gonna be joining us

44
00:02:12,232 --> 00:02:14,501
at the commentary table
for this match up along

45
00:02:14,567 --> 00:02:16,436
with Trick Williams.

46
00:02:16,503 --> 00:02:18,905
[Trick] [indistinct] bad boys
Trick and Melo have finally arrived.

47
00:02:18,972 --> 00:02:21,107
-[Vic] Indeed.
-[Trick] Back by popular demand.

48
00:02:21,174 --> 00:02:22,475
Yes, sir. Let's talk about it.

49
00:02:22,542 --> 00:02:23,376
[crosstalk]

50
00:02:23,443 --> 00:02:27,680
[Vic] Yeah. A Champion right from his car,
right to the announce table.

51
00:02:27,747 --> 00:02:29,916
What a right hand from Sikoa.

52
00:02:29,983 --> 00:02:31,985
Champ, I was just asking Wade Barrett,

53
00:02:32,051 --> 00:02:35,088
who would you rather see
in the ladder match, Strong or Sikoa?

54
00:02:36,089 --> 00:02:37,290
[Hayes] Who you asking?
Wade, or are you asking me?

55
00:02:37,357 --> 00:02:38,725
[Vic] I'm asking you.
I said I was just asking Wade.

56
00:02:38,791 --> 00:02:39,626
I apologize.

57
00:02:39,692 --> 00:02:40,560
[Hayes] Listen, hey, here's the deal,

58
00:02:40,627 --> 00:02:41,961
I'd rather see one of these guys' face
on a T-shirt.

59
00:02:42,028 --> 00:02:43,029
[Trick] Whoo!

60
00:02:44,964 --> 00:02:47,033
[Hayes] If I can put it
like this real quick, Roderick Strong,

61
00:02:47,100 --> 00:02:49,736
easily one of the toughest opponents
I've ever been in the ring with.

62
00:02:49,802 --> 00:02:52,472
Then you get a guy like Solo Sikoa,
who, similar to me,

63
00:02:52,539 --> 00:02:54,073
but not nearly as good as me,

64
00:02:54,140 --> 00:02:56,009
came into NXT and made a huge impact.

65
00:02:56,075 --> 00:02:58,077
That's exactly
why he 's in this match right now.

66
00:02:58,144 --> 00:02:59,312
[Trick] He's a bad boy.

67
00:03:00,380 --> 00:03:01,481
[Wade] Real, solid impact there.

68
00:03:01,548 --> 00:03:05,752
Listen, I got to be honest with you,
Melo for me is the Elden Lord of NXT.

69
00:03:05,818 --> 00:03:07,687
Think of the hours he spends training.

70
00:03:07,754 --> 00:03:08,955
Hours in the gym,

71
00:03:09,022 --> 00:03:11,724
never turning down neat opportunities

72
00:03:11,791 --> 00:03:14,294
and giving opportunities
to four superstars

73
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:15,929
at NXT Stand & Deliver.

74
00:03:15,995 --> 00:03:16,996
What a man!

75
00:03:17,063 --> 00:03:18,131
[Hayes] Hold on, what did you call me?

76
00:03:18,197 --> 00:03:19,265
-The Elden Lord.
-[Hayes] Who?

77
00:03:19,332 --> 00:03:22,168
[Wade] Great video game, by the way.
You know I'm a big gamer.

78
00:03:22,235 --> 00:03:24,804
[Hayes] Hey, if anything,
I'm the Steph Curry of NXT

79
00:03:24,871 --> 00:03:26,172
'cause when I shoot, I don't miss.

80
00:03:26,239 --> 00:03:27,907
-[Wade] Well, that's cool.
-[Trick] That makes me Klay Thompson.

81
00:03:27,974 --> 00:03:29,375
-[chuckles]
-[Vic] All right.

82
00:03:29,442 --> 00:03:31,010
Now one of these two superstars

83
00:03:31,077 --> 00:03:34,881
fighting for the opportunity to face you,
Carmelo Hayes,

84
00:03:34,948 --> 00:03:38,985
at NXT Stand & Deliver in Dallas,
a week from Saturday.

85
00:03:39,052 --> 00:03:40,587
Tickets are available now.

86
00:03:40,653 --> 00:03:41,721
And I got to ask you,

87
00:03:41,788 --> 00:03:44,357
are your nerves up
as we get closer to Dallas?

88
00:03:44,424 --> 00:03:45,425
You getting more nervous?

89
00:03:45,491 --> 00:03:46,960
[Hayes] No, let me ask you, Vic.

90
00:03:47,026 --> 00:03:49,228
Do you know
how it is to be in this position?

91
00:03:49,295 --> 00:03:51,497
Why would I be nervous?
I'm in control here.

92
00:03:51,564 --> 00:03:52,432
[Vic] Oh!

93
00:03:52,498 --> 00:03:54,133
[Wade] I got to agree
with the A-Champ on that,

94
00:03:54,200 --> 00:03:55,535
and say that Solo Sikoa,

95
00:03:55,602 --> 00:03:59,072
and, of course, Roderick Strong must be
the two with nerves right now.

96
00:03:59,138 --> 00:04:01,741
[Vic] Into the cover goes Sikoa
to make it to Dallas,

97
00:04:01,808 --> 00:04:04,010
and a kick out from Roderick Strong.

98
00:04:04,077 --> 00:04:07,947
[Wade] I mean, you said Strong
has competed in this kind of match up

99
00:04:08,014 --> 00:04:09,482
before on NXT.

100
00:04:09,549 --> 00:04:12,051
Huge consequence.
This is all new for Sikoa though.

101
00:04:12,118 --> 00:04:15,922
Fought for survival on the streets,
fought for food on the streets.

102
00:04:16,956 --> 00:04:19,158
[Hayes] Hey, he's still mad
that I cooked his ass on Twitter.

103
00:04:19,225 --> 00:04:21,060
[Wade] Oh, we got a little trash talking
going on here

104
00:04:21,127 --> 00:04:23,997
from Solo Sikoa at the A-Champ.

105
00:04:24,063 --> 00:04:25,298
[Vic] Oh!

106
00:04:25,365 --> 00:04:27,533
Roderick Strong taking down Sikoa.

107
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,103
[Wade] One way to shut him up,
let's face it.

108
00:04:30,169 --> 00:04:31,371
[Hayes] Good job, Roddy.

109
00:04:31,437 --> 00:04:32,538
[Vic] That's a round of applause

110
00:04:32,605 --> 00:04:34,774
from the self-proclaimed A Champion,

111
00:04:34,841 --> 00:04:36,175
who's joining us here on commentary.

112
00:04:36,242 --> 00:04:38,778
Of course, that being Carmelo Hayes,
along with Trick Williams.

113
00:04:39,245 --> 00:04:40,179
[Hayes] Hey, that was a shady comment
right there.

114
00:04:40,246 --> 00:04:42,282
Self-proclaimed, by the way.

115
00:04:42,348 --> 00:04:43,683
[Wade] Yeah, I agree with you, gentlemen.

116
00:04:43,750 --> 00:04:45,952
[Vic] Wait a minute,
you said he wasn't the A Champion

117
00:04:46,019 --> 00:04:47,520
because he was the NXT Champion.

118
00:04:47,587 --> 00:04:49,822
[Wade] No, that was Beth phoenix.
I explained that to you.

119
00:04:49,889 --> 00:04:52,825
Always have nothing but respect
for the "A Champion," Carmelo Hayes,

120
00:04:52,892 --> 00:04:54,260
and, of course, Trick Williams.

121
00:04:54,327 --> 00:04:56,763
[Vic] Look, Roderick Strong would love
to have the opportunity

122
00:04:56,829 --> 00:04:59,632
to regain the North American Championship.

123
00:04:59,699 --> 00:05:02,835
Solo Sikoa,
which both you have already mentioned

124
00:05:02,902 --> 00:05:05,204
has never tasted gold here in NXT.

125
00:05:05,271 --> 00:05:07,840
[Wade] That's it, and that's a big part
of the experience factor

126
00:05:07,907 --> 00:05:09,175
between these two.

127
00:05:09,242 --> 00:05:11,077
We know that Solo Sikoa, physically,

128
00:05:11,144 --> 00:05:14,881
is anything but a rookie,
but in terms of nerves,

129
00:05:14,947 --> 00:05:16,649
in terms of the excitement levels,

130
00:05:16,716 --> 00:05:18,451
Roderick Strong has him beat
on all levels.

131
00:05:19,452 --> 00:05:20,520
[Vic] Malcolm Bivens,

132
00:05:20,586 --> 00:05:25,191
all smiles as he watches Roderick Strong
in control of this match up.

133
00:05:25,258 --> 00:05:26,392
[Hayes] You're doing great, Roddy.

134
00:05:29,095 --> 00:05:30,229
[Roderick] Shut up!

135
00:05:30,296 --> 00:05:33,166
[Vic] NXT Universe fired up here tonight.

136
00:05:33,232 --> 00:05:35,435
And what a way to kick things off on NXT,

137
00:05:35,501 --> 00:05:38,838
as we are on the road
to NXT Stand & Deliver.

138
00:05:38,905 --> 00:05:43,576
And look, it could be a golden night
for Malcolm Bivens in Dallas.

139
00:05:43,643 --> 00:05:45,411
[Wade] Yeah, you're telling me.
A lot on the line for him.

140
00:05:45,478 --> 00:05:48,514
Of course, his Creed Brothers
will be in competition

141
00:05:48,581 --> 00:05:53,219
for the NXT Tag Team Championships
in the triple-threat match up there.

142
00:05:53,286 --> 00:05:54,120
[Vic] Boom.

143
00:05:54,187 --> 00:05:55,388
[Wade] Exciting night, indeed, for him,

144
00:05:55,455 --> 00:05:58,224
but the night might be over very soon
for Solo Sikoa.

145
00:05:58,291 --> 00:06:01,794
[Vic] Strong into the cover,
and a quick kick out from Solo Sikoa.

146
00:06:02,995 --> 00:06:04,597
[Hayes] Gots to be more careful.

147
00:06:04,664 --> 00:06:08,301
[Wade] I will tell you this, Solo Sikoa,
as tough as they come.

148
00:06:08,368 --> 00:06:11,104
Come on, uce. Come on.

149
00:06:11,170 --> 00:06:12,572
[Vic] We hear Roderick Strong talking
a little bit of trash.

150
00:06:12,638 --> 00:06:15,241
And look, I see the smile
come across your face a little bit.

151
00:06:15,308 --> 00:06:16,142
Get off his hair.

152
00:06:16,209 --> 00:06:17,243
[Hayes] I'm loving this.

153
00:06:17,310 --> 00:06:19,378
[Trick] I'm loving… Beat each other up.

154
00:06:19,445 --> 00:06:20,279
Break each other up.

155
00:06:20,346 --> 00:06:21,214
[Hayes] I don't want anyone of you
is standing on the way

156
00:06:21,280 --> 00:06:22,715
to coming into Stand & Deliver.

157
00:06:22,782 --> 00:06:24,484
[Wade] Trick and Melo right now
looking resplendent.

158
00:06:24,550 --> 00:06:27,320
I got to say,
hats off to those outfits, gentlemen.

159
00:06:27,387 --> 00:06:29,055
You both look incredible tonight.

160
00:06:29,122 --> 00:06:31,657
[Trick] Trying to get like you, Wade,
and swagging.

161
00:06:31,724 --> 00:06:32,558
[Wade] Appreciate that.

162
00:06:32,625 --> 00:06:33,693
[Hayes] That's what we do,
and tricking ain't easy.

163
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,062
Oh, ho, ho, ho! What?

164
00:06:36,129 --> 00:06:39,332
Oh, man! Gots to be more careful. [laughs]

165
00:06:39,399 --> 00:06:42,502
[Vic] Strong off the back breaker
to punch his ticket to Dallas,

166
00:06:42,568 --> 00:06:44,036
and Sikoa again, kicking out.

167
00:06:44,103 --> 00:06:45,438
[Hayes] Wow!

168
00:06:45,505 --> 00:06:48,941
[Vic] And you have to be loving the fact
that these superstars

169
00:06:49,008 --> 00:06:50,943
are fighting over an opportunity

170
00:06:51,010 --> 00:06:55,348
to face one man
on the grandest stage NXT has to offer,

171
00:06:55,414 --> 00:06:56,616
Stand & Deliver.

172
00:06:56,682 --> 00:06:57,517
[Hayes] I'm that one man.

173
00:06:57,583 --> 00:06:58,785
People need to give me
more credit for these matches.

174
00:06:58,851 --> 00:07:00,753
I see you too. [laughs]

[Trick] Whoo-hoo!

176
00:07:03,923 --> 00:07:04,991
[Wade] Roderick Strong gonna make sure

177
00:07:05,057 --> 00:07:07,860
he's not distracted
by the presence of the A-Champ

178
00:07:07,927 --> 00:07:10,730
at the desk here,
focus on the task in hand.

179
00:07:10,797 --> 00:07:12,298
[Hayes] Have mercy.

180
00:07:15,168 --> 00:07:19,038
[Vic] Strong now, does he have…
Trying to hoist up Sikoa.

181
00:07:20,106 --> 00:07:21,174
[Hayes] There's no way.

182
00:07:22,108 --> 00:07:24,610
-[Trick] Oh. Oh.
-[Vic] Ooh!

183
00:07:24,677 --> 00:07:25,645
-[Hayes] Better wear shoes, bro.
-[Trick] Got to wear shoes.

184

[Wade] Oh!

185
00:07:26,679 --> 00:07:27,980
That's a veteran move, right there,

186
00:07:28,047 --> 00:07:31,717
stomping on the exposed feet
of "The Street fighter," Solo Sikoa.

187
00:07:32,685 --> 00:07:37,857
[Vic] And Strong, no stranger
to competition on NXT.

188
00:07:39,926 --> 00:07:41,694
Strong has been taking it to Sikoa.

189
00:07:41,761 --> 00:07:43,596
Now Sikoa starting to fight back.

190

[Hayes] Let's go, uno.

191

[Vic] Oh.

192
00:07:46,065 --> 00:07:48,401
Every now and again,
I notice Sikoa and Strong,

193
00:07:48,467 --> 00:07:52,405
both looking over
to the North American Champion .

194
00:07:52,472 --> 00:07:54,173
[Wade] Like a magnet,

195
00:07:54,240 --> 00:07:57,677
eyes are drawn to the excellence
of Carmelo Hayes.

196
00:07:58,411 --> 00:07:59,545
[Hayes] You see the effect
I have on people?

197
00:07:59,612 --> 00:08:01,747
[Wade] Oh, believe me, we all feel it.

198
00:08:03,049 --> 00:08:04,250
[Vic] Strong into another cover.

199
00:08:04,317 --> 00:08:05,318
Is this enough?

200
00:08:05,384 --> 00:08:07,587
-And Sikoa continues to fight.
-[Trick] Wow!

201
00:08:07,653 --> 00:08:10,489
[Hayes] Whoo! Man, Roddy looks exhausted.

202
00:08:11,424 --> 00:08:12,258
[Vic] Take another look

203
00:08:12,325 --> 00:08:15,328
at the striking ability
from Roderick Strong.

204
00:08:15,394 --> 00:08:18,931
[Wade] Clean on the jaw of Solo Sikoa.

205
00:08:18,998 --> 00:08:20,333
-[Hayes] Got to fight, Solo.
-[crowd chants "Solo"]

206
00:08:20,399 --> 00:08:23,436
-[Wade] Somehow hanging in there.
-[Hayes] How bad do you want it?

207
00:08:23,503 --> 00:08:26,839
[Wade] You must be enjoying these men
softening each other up ahead

208
00:08:26,906 --> 00:08:27,740
of Stand & Deliver.

209
00:08:27,807 --> 00:08:31,143
Whoever ends up winning this match up
might not be at 100%, Carmelo.

210
00:08:31,210 --> 00:08:32,879
[Hayes] True.

211
00:08:32,945 --> 00:08:34,680
[Vic] Look at Sikoa fighting back,

212
00:08:34,747 --> 00:08:38,150
and then the door getting slammed
as soon as it opens.

213
00:08:38,217 --> 00:08:39,752
-Up and down.
-[Wade] Oh!

214
00:08:39,819 --> 00:08:41,520
[Vic] High angle slam from Strong.

215
00:08:41,587 --> 00:08:42,655
-Strong again.
-[Hayes] Oh, he's going, that's it.

216
00:08:42,722 --> 00:08:44,524
[Vic] Is Roderick Strong headed
to Stand & Deliver?

-[crosstalk]
-[Wade] Oh!

218
00:08:47,126 --> 00:08:48,995
[Vic] Another near fa…

219
00:08:49,929 --> 00:08:51,130
[Trick] That's a bad boy,
right there, Melo.

220
00:08:51,197 --> 00:08:54,267
[Wade] Wait a second.
Look what I've just spotted, gentlemen.

221
00:08:54,333 --> 00:08:57,336
Santos Escobar, a man
who has already qualified

222
00:08:57,403 --> 00:08:59,739
for the North American Championship match.

223

Listen, he has experience
winning championships,

224
00:09:03,342 --> 00:09:06,445
winning ladder matches at Stand & Deliver.

225
00:09:06,512 --> 00:09:09,649
[Vic] Not to mention,
you've lost to Escobar, Champ.

226
00:09:09,715 --> 00:09:10,716
[Hayes] Hold on, wait. Wait.

227
00:09:10,783 --> 00:09:13,586
When you spell my name,
you spell it M-E-L-O, right?

228
00:09:13,653 --> 00:09:14,620
[Wade] Absolutely.

229
00:09:14,687 --> 00:09:16,756
[Hayes] And you wanna know
why it's one L and not two?

230
00:09:16,822 --> 00:09:17,657
[Wade] Why is that?

231
00:09:17,723 --> 00:09:19,292
[Hayes] Because the A-Champ
ain't never taking another L

232
00:09:19,358 --> 00:09:21,294
to anybody on this roster.

233
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:23,362
[Trick] One L Melo. [laughs]

234
00:09:23,429 --> 00:09:25,464
[Wade] Nailed it right there. One L Melo.

235
00:09:25,531 --> 00:09:26,365
[Hayes] That's it.

236
00:09:26,432 --> 00:09:29,101
[Vic] Santos Escobar punched
his ticket to Dallas last week.

237
00:09:29,168 --> 00:09:31,404
Who will be the next superstar to advance?

238
00:09:33,205 --> 00:09:35,174
[Hayes] Oh. Oh.

239
00:09:35,241 --> 00:09:36,275
[Trick] Come on with it.

240
00:09:36,342 --> 00:09:38,044
Get your ass up.

right here.

[Wade] Let's face it,

245
00:09:43,115 --> 00:09:45,785
this has to be the biggest match
of Solo Sikoa's career.

246
00:09:45,851 --> 00:09:47,720
Can he carry on this momentum,

247
00:09:47,787 --> 00:09:49,589
take it all the way to Stand & Deliver,

248
00:09:49,655 --> 00:09:53,492

for the North American Championship?

[Vic] Sikoa.

-[Hayes] That's it, right there.
-[Vic] Is it enough?

And Bivens about
to come out of his custom suit.

254
00:10:01,968 --> 00:10:02,802

big money match up leaving his grasp.

[Hayes] Hey, I just want
to correct you on one thing.

257
00:10:11,177 --> 00:10:14,380
The biggest match of Solo Sikoa's career
will be against the A Champion.

258

Oh!

259
00:10:15,448 --> 00:10:16,682
[Wade] Right. He hasn't earned it yet.

260

Let's face it, Champ.

261
00:10:18,317 --> 00:10:19,452
[Vic] He's got to get through tonight

262
00:10:19,518 --> 00:10:21,721
to make it to Stand & Deliver.

263
00:10:21,787 --> 00:10:25,091
But all eyes focused
on this opening contest.

264
00:10:25,157 --> 00:10:28,427
High stakes,
high risk right now for Strong.

265
00:10:29,362 --> 00:10:32,832
[Wade] Strong and Sikoa
beating the hell out of each other.

266
00:10:32,898 --> 00:10:35,434
Such is the allure of Stand & Deliver

267

and Carmelo Hayes's
North American Championship.

268

from a dimly lit room you were sitting in?

339
00:13:36,182 --> 00:13:37,016
[Wade] Yeah, no comment.

340
00:13:37,082 --> 00:13:39,485
You could do a studying yourself
from what I've heard.

341
00:13:40,753 --> 00:13:44,223
[Vic] Well, D'Angelo not really worried
about views on TikTok.

342
00:13:44,290 --> 00:13:45,124
[Wade] Whoa. Whoa.

343
00:13:46,058 --> 00:13:48,227
Takes a lot to freak out Tony D'Angelo,

344
00:13:48,294 --> 00:13:51,764
but that weirdo, Dexter Lumis,
can certainly achieve that.

345
00:13:51,831 --> 00:13:55,100
[Vic] I think D'Angelo would agree
that these four

346
00:13:55,167 --> 00:13:58,737
and their relationships,
unlike anything NXT's ever seen.

347
00:13:58,804 --> 00:13:59,638
[Wade] Say that again.

348
00:13:59,705 --> 00:14:04,877
Listen, InDex are, in my estimation,
everything that is wrong…

349
00:14:04,944 --> 00:14:05,945
[Vic] Whoa, whoa, whoa!

350
00:14:06,011 --> 00:14:07,246
[Wade] …about love
because it's not about love,

351
00:14:07,313 --> 00:14:08,280
it's about lust.

352
00:14:08,347 --> 00:14:11,350
[Vic] Well, Wade, trying to silence
D'Angelo is Lumis.

353
00:14:11,417 --> 00:14:12,618
D'Angelo able to fight through.

354
00:14:12,685 --> 00:14:15,154
[Wade] Slithering his way
into a nasty hold there,

355
00:14:15,221 --> 00:14:19,158
but immediately bouncing back
as you would anticipate, Tony D.

356
00:14:19,225 --> 00:14:22,628
Listen, Duke and Persia though,
or Dusia, is that what they said?

357
00:14:22,695 --> 00:14:24,763
-Dusia? They are all--
-I love them.

358
00:14:24,830 --> 00:14:27,399
[Vic] Oh, yeah, okay. Never mind,
T-shirts, make-up, sorts of stuff.

359
00:14:27,466 --> 00:14:30,502
[Wade] Classic romance, true love.
The It Couple of NXT.

360
00:14:30,569 --> 00:14:31,537
I can't get enough.

361
00:14:31,604 --> 00:14:33,372
And I guarantee you,
Dexter Lumis is already--

362
00:14:33,439 --> 00:14:34,573
[Vic] Boom!

363
00:14:34,640 --> 00:14:36,242
[Wade] …of Tony D'Angelo
after that belly-to-belly.

364
00:14:36,308 --> 00:14:39,245
[Vic] Well, look,
you can respect Tony D'Angelo

365
00:14:39,311 --> 00:14:41,046
for calling out Tommaso Ciampa.

366
00:14:41,113 --> 00:14:41,947
I know you can.

367
00:14:42,014 --> 00:14:45,317
[Wade] I've got a lot of respect
for Tony D'Angelo in general,

368
00:14:45,384 --> 00:14:48,687
but I respect the man
who wants to get to the top.

369
00:14:48,754 --> 00:14:51,490
The best way of getting
to the top in this industry,

370
00:14:51,557 --> 00:14:55,594
go after one of the pillars of the brand,
punch him in the mouth.

371
00:14:55,661 --> 00:14:57,229
If I was Tony D, I'd do exactly the same.

372
00:14:57,296 --> 00:14:58,697
[Vic] Well, right now,

373
00:14:58,764 --> 00:15:01,066
Dexter Lumis getting a thumbs up
from Indi Hartwell.

374
00:15:01,133 --> 00:15:03,202
And Lumis believes in his vows.

375
00:15:03,269 --> 00:15:06,672
He stands by his wife for better or worse.

376
00:15:06,739 --> 00:15:09,074
[Wade] Oh, well, that's a noble thing
to do.

377
00:15:09,141 --> 00:15:11,377
The problem is,
there's been a lot more worse

378
00:15:11,443 --> 00:15:12,911
than there has better lately.

379
00:15:12,978 --> 00:15:14,613
In fact, I'm still waiting
for some of the better.

380
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:18,017
Maybe the better part
only exists in the bedroom.

381
00:15:18,083 --> 00:15:20,886
And we've all been in relationships
like that.

382
00:15:20,953 --> 00:15:23,455
At some point,
you got to cut your losses and move on.

383
00:15:26,492 --> 00:15:27,860
[Vic] NXT Universe is fired up.

384
00:15:27,926 --> 00:15:30,162
We've talked about
what a night it has been already.

385
00:15:30,229 --> 00:15:31,864
How about this match up still to come?

386
00:15:31,930 --> 00:15:36,201
Bron Breakker taking on Robert Roode,
here tonight, live.

387
00:15:36,268 --> 00:15:40,139
As Dexter Lumis showcasing
his own strength with a fallaway slam.

388
00:15:41,307 --> 00:15:44,677
And Lumis making Indi Hartwell smile.

389
00:15:44,743 --> 00:15:46,512
[Wade] Freak in the mind,

390
00:15:46,945 --> 00:15:48,948
freak in the bedroom,
and it has to be said,

391
00:15:49,014 --> 00:15:52,217
freak athleticism from Dexter Lumis.

392
00:15:52,284 --> 00:15:53,519
We see it time and time again.

393
00:15:53,585 --> 00:15:55,621
Do not underestimate that man.

394
00:15:55,688 --> 00:15:58,157
[Vic] That might be the nicest thing
you've ever said about Dexter Lumis.

395
00:15:58,223 --> 00:15:59,325
[Wade] Don't get used to it.

396
00:16:03,295 --> 00:16:05,597
[Vic] Dexter Lumis just continuing his…

397
00:16:05,664 --> 00:16:08,600
Well, we see Duke Hudson
and Persia Pirotta.

398
00:16:08,667 --> 00:16:09,635
[crosstalk]

399
00:16:09,702 --> 00:16:11,937
[Vic] Duke Hudson really has come between
Pirotta and Hartwell.

400
00:16:12,004 --> 00:16:13,772
[Wade] Yeah, steady on, steady on,

401
00:16:13,839 --> 00:16:15,307
that was all Indi Hartwell's fault

402
00:16:15,374 --> 00:16:17,676
for not cluing her best friend,
Persia Pirotta,

403
00:16:17,743 --> 00:16:21,780
into the previous romance
between herself and the Duke.

404
00:16:21,847 --> 00:16:23,449
[Vic] D'Angelo now,
swinging away on Lumis.

405
00:16:23,515 --> 00:16:26,986
Lumis looking to continue
his momentum in this match up.

406
00:16:27,052 --> 00:16:29,555
You know, we talked about Tony D'Angelo,

407
00:16:29,621 --> 00:16:32,124
maybe he's looking towards Tommaso Ciampa.

408
00:16:32,191 --> 00:16:33,559
Lumis into the cover, and a kick out.

409
00:16:33,625 --> 00:16:35,394
But when it comes to Tony D'Angelo,

410
00:16:35,461 --> 00:16:38,964
what went through your mind
when you called out John Cena?

411
00:16:39,031 --> 00:16:41,233
[Wade] Listen, similar to Tony D,

412
00:16:41,300 --> 00:16:44,136
I wanted to make a name
for myself back in 2010.

413
00:16:44,203 --> 00:16:46,138
I was irrelative, unknown.

414
00:16:46,205 --> 00:16:49,074
I went straight for the throat
of the biggest star in the industry…

415
00:16:49,141 --> 00:16:50,309
[Vic] Cover by Lumis,

416
00:16:50,376 --> 00:16:52,277
and D'Angelo able to kick out at two.

417
00:16:52,344 --> 00:16:54,813
[Wade] …who, at the time,
was, of course, John Cena.

418
00:16:54,880 --> 00:16:56,615
I knew that attacking John Cena

419
00:16:56,682 --> 00:17:00,619
would put me front
and center of all WWE programming.

420
00:17:00,686 --> 00:17:04,823
Tony D is using Tommaso Ciampa
for the exact same purpose.

421
00:17:04,890 --> 00:17:07,426
You can say a lot of things about Tony D,

422
00:17:07,493 --> 00:17:09,595
but he is a brilliant businessman.

423
00:17:09,661 --> 00:17:11,663
[Vic] Oh, he better be brilliant
in this match up

424
00:17:11,730 --> 00:17:14,500
because Dexter Lumis has been in control.

425
00:17:14,566 --> 00:17:17,369
-And now fortune maybe turning around.
-[Wade] You asked for him.

426
00:17:17,436 --> 00:17:20,172
Brilliant maneuver there, from Tony D,

427
00:17:20,239 --> 00:17:22,241
swinging this back in his favor.

428
00:17:23,342 --> 00:17:26,111
[Vic] Lumis slithering to the outside. Oh!

429
00:17:26,178 --> 00:17:27,913
You might've spoke too soon there,
Barrett.

430
00:17:27,980 --> 00:17:30,516
[Wade] Clean on the jaw of Tony D.

431
00:17:30,582 --> 00:17:32,551
This one swinging back and forth.

432
00:17:33,285 --> 00:17:36,088
[Vic] Dexter Lumis, I'm certain,
has a lot of pent-up aggression!

433
00:17:36,155 --> 00:17:38,023
And he just goes face-first.

434
00:17:38,090 --> 00:17:38,924
[Wade] Oh, man.

435
00:17:38,991 --> 00:17:40,059
[Vic] Whoa!

436
00:17:40,125 --> 00:17:42,528
[Wade] You've got this by count-out.
Just get back in the ring.

437
00:17:47,266 --> 00:17:50,002
[Vic] All smiles is Tony D'Angelo.

438
00:17:50,069 --> 00:17:53,072
Oh, no, mocking Tommaso Ciampa.

439
00:17:53,138 --> 00:17:54,706
D'Angelo in control.

440
00:17:58,277 --> 00:18:02,648
Tony D'Angelo has been
in control of Dexter Lumis, here on NXT.

441
00:18:02,714 --> 00:18:04,683
As now Lumis trying to fight back,
and instead,

442
00:18:05,651 --> 00:18:09,088
D'Angelo continuing to be the aggressor
in this match up.

443
00:18:09,154 --> 00:18:11,323
And we've been wondering
what's been going through the mind

444
00:18:11,390 --> 00:18:14,193
of Tony D'Angelo for several weeks.

445
00:18:14,259 --> 00:18:15,894
A lot of people in the WWE Universe

446
00:18:15,961 --> 00:18:17,696
wondering what's going through
the mind of Kevin Owens

447
00:18:17,763 --> 00:18:20,399
after again mocking
"Stone Cold" Steve Austin.

448
00:18:20,466 --> 00:18:23,535
"The Texas Rattlesnake"
has promised to open up one final can

449
00:18:23,602 --> 00:18:25,604
on The KO Show Wrestle Mania Saturday.

450
00:18:25,671 --> 00:18:27,639
[Wade] Yes, indeed. Cannot wait for that.

451
00:18:27,706 --> 00:18:30,609
And I'm sure "Stone Cold"
will be celebrating with a few cans

452
00:18:30,676 --> 00:18:33,712
of the new Steve Austin American Lager,

453
00:18:33,779 --> 00:18:37,382
which just so happens to be
my new favorite beverage.

454
00:18:37,449 --> 00:18:39,885
[Vic] Wade, well, I'm sure
he's not gonna send anything for free.

455
00:18:39,952 --> 00:18:41,720
But what a right hand from Lumis!

456
00:18:41,787 --> 00:18:43,922
And for D'Angelo,
on WrestleMania Saturday,

457
00:18:43,989 --> 00:18:47,493
at NXT Stand & Deliver,
he's looking to become a Don.

458
00:18:47,559 --> 00:18:49,661
But can he get through Lumis here tonight?

459
00:18:50,929 --> 00:18:56,535
[Wade] With all the momentum now,
Dexter Lumis, wind in his sails.

460
00:18:56,602 --> 00:18:59,138
[Vic] Oh, Lumis, thumbs up from his wife.

461
00:18:59,204 --> 00:19:03,609
It's the power of love flowing
through the veins of Lumis.

462
00:19:03,675 --> 00:19:07,546
[Wade] This is taking Tony D
down a peg or two.

463
00:19:07,613 --> 00:19:08,780
[Vic] Didn't get all the leg drop,

464
00:19:08,847 --> 00:19:10,382
got enough of it though to go for a cover.

465
00:19:10,449 --> 00:19:11,316
Hook of the leg.

466
00:19:11,383 --> 00:19:13,051
D'Angelo, again, kicking out,
center of the ring.

467
00:19:13,118 --> 00:19:16,421
[Wade] Just shows the smarts
of Tony D'Angelo rolling out the way.

468
00:19:16,488 --> 00:19:19,725
As we take another look
at the supreme athleticism

469
00:19:19,791 --> 00:19:21,894
of the freak Dexter Lumis.

470
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:24,596
[Vic] And following it up
with a running bulldog.

471
00:19:24,663 --> 00:19:27,766
And look, Dexter Lumis
weathering the storm.

472
00:19:27,833 --> 00:19:30,836
This would be a huge victory
for Dexter Lumis.

473
00:19:30,903 --> 00:19:32,137
[Wade] Yeah, whoever wins this one,

474
00:19:32,204 --> 00:19:34,606
let's face it,
this is two top competitors,

475
00:19:34,673 --> 00:19:35,874
here in NXT,

476
00:19:35,941 --> 00:19:41,079
often overlooked due to the personality
and the theatrics of Tony D,

477
00:19:41,146 --> 00:19:42,281
is the fact that this guy is an…

478
00:19:42,347 --> 00:19:43,182
[Vic] Uh-oh.

479
00:19:43,248 --> 00:19:47,286
[Wade] …accomplished
freestyle amateur collegiate athlete.

480
00:19:47,352 --> 00:19:51,857
The guy is an absolute thoroughbred,
here in NXT to make money.

481
00:19:51,924 --> 00:19:53,492
And he'll climb that money ladder

482
00:19:53,559 --> 00:19:54,826
if he can put away Dexter Lumis!

483
00:19:54,893 --> 00:19:55,761
[Vic] Oh!

484
00:19:57,829 --> 00:20:01,266
This was turning into a hockey fight
between these two.

485
00:20:05,204 --> 00:20:06,271
Oh, what?

486
00:20:08,473 --> 00:20:10,042
What is Duke Hudson doing?

487
00:20:10,108 --> 00:20:11,610
[Wade] I don't know.
I'm not complaining though.

488
00:20:14,580 --> 00:20:16,815
Hey, hey, hey, get back.

489
00:20:16,882 --> 00:20:19,518
[Vic] Duke… Wait, wait, wait.
Tony D'Angelo.

490
00:20:20,252 --> 00:20:22,754
Oh, Indi Hartwell. Seen this…

491
00:20:22,821 --> 00:20:25,824
[crosstalk]

492
00:20:29,027 --> 00:20:31,363
[Wade] Tug of war going on here.

493
00:20:32,431 --> 00:20:34,066
-[Wade] Oh!
-[Vic] Oh!

494
00:20:34,132 --> 00:20:35,234
[Wade] On to the jaw.

495
00:20:35,300 --> 00:20:36,168
[Vic] Wade, I don't think the…

496
00:20:36,235 --> 00:20:37,502
I don't think the official saw

497
00:20:37,569 --> 00:20:40,105
that the crowbar connected
on Dexter Lumis.

498
00:20:40,172 --> 00:20:47,145
And D'Angelo into the cover.
And D'Angelo picks up the win.

499
00:20:47,212 --> 00:20:48,714
["Strictly Business" plays]

500
00:20:48,780 --> 00:20:52,384
[Alicia] Here is your winner,
Tony D'Angelo.

501
00:20:52,451 --> 00:20:54,653
-[Wade] Well, what a swerve, this match.
-[Vic] Wait a minute.

502
00:20:54,820 --> 00:20:56,788
[Wade] Duke Hudson, in all innocence,

503
00:20:56,855 --> 00:21:00,025
tried to give a pep talk to Dexter Lumis.

504
00:21:00,092 --> 00:21:02,127
[Vic] This, the pivotal point
in the match up.

505
00:21:02,194 --> 00:21:04,496
And again, the official…

506
00:21:04,563 --> 00:21:07,899
The official didn't see
the crowbar connect.

507
00:21:07,966 --> 00:21:11,003
[Wade] Persia Pirotta tried to stop
the crowbar connect,

508
00:21:11,069 --> 00:21:12,437
and obviously overpowered, of course,

509
00:21:12,504 --> 00:21:16,174
by Tony D'Angelo,
followed by that devastation.

510
00:21:16,241 --> 00:21:18,910
[Vic] Hook or crook, D'Angelo victorious.

511
00:21:21,647 --> 00:21:24,349
Tommaso Ciampa,

512
00:21:24,416 --> 00:21:27,853
you thought I was coming out here
last week to pay tribute?

513
00:21:28,520 --> 00:21:29,488
No.

514
00:21:31,290 --> 00:21:35,494
See, I set the hook and you took the bait.

515
00:21:37,262 --> 00:21:39,431
When I put you on your knees,

516
00:21:39,498 --> 00:21:42,000
you knew you were finished.

517
00:21:44,703 --> 00:21:51,043
The new Don of NXT arrives
at Stand & Deliver.

518
00:21:53,712 --> 00:21:55,747
["Fight to Survive" plays]

519
00:21:55,814 --> 00:21:57,516
[Wade] Oh, ho, ho, ho!

520
00:21:57,582 --> 00:22:00,719
You might not have to wait
until Stand & Deliver.

521
00:22:03,388 --> 00:22:04,656
[Vic] Ciampa's heard enough.

522
00:22:09,594 --> 00:22:10,862
Oh.

523
00:22:12,864 --> 00:22:16,902
Ciampa, fairy tale ending!

524
00:22:22,641 --> 00:22:26,845
Listen, you don't get to tell me
when I'm done.

525
00:22:28,180 --> 00:22:33,018
Stand & Deliver, that might be
my final chapter here in NXT.

526
00:22:33,085 --> 00:22:37,255
And if it is, then I'm going to write
my own fairy-tale ending.

527
00:22:37,322 --> 00:22:38,690
I'll see you in Dallas.

528
00:22:39,391 --> 00:22:40,659
["Fight to Survive" plays]

529
00:22:40,726 --> 00:22:42,594
[Vic] Strong message from Ciampa.

530
00:22:42,661 --> 00:22:45,130
If D'Angelo wants respect,

531
00:22:45,197 --> 00:22:48,233
he better show respect to the boss of NXT.

532
00:22:48,300 --> 00:22:51,303
["Fight to Survive" plays]

533
00:22:53,071 --> 00:22:56,074
A clear message sent to Tony D'Angelo
by Tommaso Ciampa,

534
00:22:56,141 --> 00:22:58,677
less than two weeks away from their match
at NXT Stand & Deliver.

535
00:22:58,744 --> 00:23:00,178
Tell me why we're talking about
Tommaso Ciampa.

536
00:23:00,245 --> 00:23:01,413
Why?

537
00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:03,181
We got rid of Tommaso Ciampa
two weeks ago.

538
00:23:04,249 --> 00:23:05,851
Why don't we talk about
something else, McKenzie?

539
00:23:05,917 --> 00:23:07,486
Why don't we talk about me?

540
00:23:07,552 --> 00:23:08,553
Tell them, big man.

541
00:23:08,620 --> 00:23:10,789
The Glorious One, Robert Roode.

542
00:23:10,856 --> 00:23:14,426
I think everyone has forgotten the fact
that I'm a former NXT Champion.

543
00:23:14,493 --> 00:23:15,327
Right.

544
00:23:15,394 --> 00:23:19,064
I dominated this place
for over 12 long months,

545
00:23:19,131 --> 00:23:20,866
took it to heights that no one else
can ever imagine.

546
00:23:21,733 --> 00:23:24,035
And without me paving the way,

547
00:23:24,102 --> 00:23:26,571
would've never reached the level
that we're at today.

548
00:23:26,638 --> 00:23:28,907
And it certainly
wouldn't have give any opportunity

549
00:23:28,974 --> 00:23:32,277
to a guy like Bron Breakker
to become an NXT superstar.

550
00:23:33,745 --> 00:23:36,548
Breakker, this kid is two weeks away

551
00:23:36,615 --> 00:23:38,583
from the biggest match of his life,

552
00:23:38,650 --> 00:23:40,852
but tonight, big man, do what you do best.

553
00:23:40,919 --> 00:23:42,454
Pummel him, pound him, humble him,

554
00:23:43,522 --> 00:23:46,758
but leave some scraps for me
at Stand & Deliver in Dallas.

555
00:23:46,825 --> 00:23:48,293
This kid, Bron Breakker,

556
00:23:48,360 --> 00:23:51,163
is about to find out
that he doesn't measure up

557
00:23:51,229 --> 00:23:56,168
to the former and current NXT Champion.

558
00:23:57,436 --> 00:23:58,403
Good luck, kid.

559
00:24:00,172 --> 00:24:01,907
Guys, back to you.

560
00:24:01,973 --> 00:24:03,442
-["Soul March" plays]
-[Wade] Wow.

561
00:24:03,508 --> 00:24:08,513
No softballs for Bron Breakker
on the run-in to NXT Stand & Deliver.

562
00:24:08,580 --> 00:24:11,750
["Soul March" plays]

[Alicia] The following
contest is scheduled for one fall.

565
00:24:17,589 --> 00:24:24,095
Representing Legado Del Fantasma,
Elektra Lopez.

566
00:24:24,162 --> 00:24:28,366
[Vic] Elektra Lopez felt disrespected
by Fallon Henley last week.

567
00:24:28,433 --> 00:24:32,137
Well, these two, they're going
to face off, next on NXT.

568
00:24:36,274 --> 00:24:39,411
["You Can Look
(But You Can't Touch)" plays]

569
00:24:39,477 --> 00:24:42,914
[woman] Tonight,
we honor WWE Hall of Famers,

570
00:24:42,981 --> 00:24:44,483
Nikki and Brie Bella.

571
00:24:44,549 --> 00:24:46,718
The Bella Twins made an immediate impact

572
00:24:46,785 --> 00:24:48,353
in the WWE Universe,

573
00:24:48,420 --> 00:24:51,423
spicing up the divas division
with their twin magic.

574
00:24:51,490 --> 00:24:54,493
As the WWE evolved
from one era to the next,

575
00:24:54,559 --> 00:24:58,830
this bold duo was quick to lead
the way to a revolution.

576
00:24:58,897 --> 00:25:02,334
They were such an integral part
of the women's evolution.

577
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:05,504
[woman] The pair found
global mainstream success

578
00:25:05,570 --> 00:25:07,706
that only helped pushed
the women's division further.

579
00:25:07,772 --> 00:25:13,411
They generated an entire new audience
with eyes on WWE.

580
00:25:13,478 --> 00:25:16,248
I love you, Bella Army.

581
00:25:16,314 --> 00:25:20,285
[woman] As entrepreneurs, public figures,
and as mothers,

582
00:25:20,352 --> 00:25:22,487
these Hall of Famers will go down

583
00:25:22,554 --> 00:25:26,124
as two of the most fearless women
in WWE history.

584
00:25:31,463 --> 00:25:33,698
Stand & Deliver is set
to be the biggest show of the year,

585
00:25:34,566 --> 00:25:36,902
but there's no way
it's gonna live up to the hype

586
00:25:36,968 --> 00:25:40,505
without the NXT superstar Grayson Waller
on the marquee.

587
00:25:42,140 --> 00:25:45,143
["Superstar Status" plays]

588
00:25:49,481 --> 00:25:52,751
Two weeks ago, I was last man standing.

589
00:25:52,817 --> 00:25:55,020
-[Vic] Look at Waller.
-[Wade] No way!

590
00:25:55,086 --> 00:25:57,789
Saturday afternoon, April 2nd,
Dallas, Texas,

591
00:25:57,856 --> 00:26:01,927
I will be the only man standing
on top of that ladder,

592
00:26:01,993 --> 00:26:04,062
grabbing down
the North American Championship

593
00:26:04,129 --> 00:26:07,666
in a moment that's gonna be
remembered forever.

594
00:26:09,901 --> 00:26:13,672
But there is one man standing in my way,

595
00:26:13,738 --> 00:26:16,107
"The Spanish Sensation" A-Kid.

596
00:26:16,174 --> 00:26:17,509
And let's be real,

597
00:26:17,576 --> 00:26:18,944
he's one of the best guys
to come out of Europe

598
00:26:19,010 --> 00:26:22,981
in a long time, but he ain't me.

599
00:26:23,982 --> 00:26:26,918
The Grayson Waller Effect
is a global sensation.

600
00:26:26,985 --> 00:26:31,089
A-Kid, mate,
you are nothing more than a stepping stone

601
00:26:31,156 --> 00:26:34,059
on my road to superstardom.

602
00:26:37,696 --> 00:26:39,397
Have a good game, beat that Fallon.

603
00:26:39,464 --> 00:26:40,732
[Wade] A-Kid-Waller, still to come.

604
00:26:40,799 --> 00:26:43,368
She's a beautiful woman, okay?

605
00:26:43,435 --> 00:26:45,570
Of all the things you can say
right now, you chose that?

606
00:26:45,637 --> 00:26:49,040
Yeah. Fallon, get in there. Beat her down.

607
00:26:49,107 --> 00:26:50,375
We got your back. Let's do it.

608
00:26:50,442 --> 00:26:51,910
-Let's go.
-Let's do it.

609
00:26:51,977 --> 00:26:53,878
[Vic] Briggs showing some encouragement,
so is Jensen.

610
00:26:53,945 --> 00:26:54,779
[bell rings]

611
00:26:54,846 --> 00:26:56,748
[Vic] Hey, look, Jensen,
his confidence is growing

612
00:26:56,815 --> 00:26:58,249
because of Fallon Henley.

613
00:26:58,316 --> 00:26:59,818
I even heard he's got a date.

614
00:26:59,884 --> 00:27:01,052
He's got a date.

615
00:27:01,119 --> 00:27:02,620
-[Wade] Brooks Jensen?
-[Vic] Hats off, Jensen.

616
00:27:02,687 --> 00:27:05,790
[Wade] Who? Who? Wait.
All right. Let me guess, Quandale Dingle?

617
00:27:05,857 --> 00:27:06,958
Yeah, I'm sure.

618
00:27:07,025 --> 00:27:09,160
Listen, Byron Saxton has more chance
of getting a date

619
00:27:09,227 --> 00:27:10,128
than Brooks Jensen.

620
00:27:10,195 --> 00:27:11,363
Let's face facts.

621
00:27:11,429 --> 00:27:13,865
[Vic] Let's not get too crazy here.
But look, I'm glad for Jensen.

622
00:27:13,932 --> 00:27:16,701
He found a female friend,
another one, in Fallon Henley.

623
00:27:16,768 --> 00:27:17,936
[Wade] Oh, great, a female friend.

624
00:27:18,003 --> 00:27:20,572
Listen, he's trying
to get out of the friend zone.

625
00:27:20,639 --> 00:27:22,440
Why don't you help him out in some way?

626
00:27:22,507 --> 00:27:24,709
He's looking to get himself
a little action.

627
00:27:24,776 --> 00:27:26,144
Doesn't want a pen pal.

628
00:27:26,211 --> 00:27:29,047
[Vic] Look at the strength
of Elektra Lopez,

629
00:27:29,114 --> 00:27:31,750
just hanging Henley out to dry.

630
00:27:31,816 --> 00:27:33,752
And look, this match up stemming

631
00:27:33,818 --> 00:27:37,188
from a lot of tough talk between
everyone ringside,

632
00:27:37,255 --> 00:27:40,191
and that includes Lopez,
who's stomping out Henley right now,

633
00:27:40,258 --> 00:27:42,093
over who attacked The Creeds.

634
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:43,128
[Wade] Listen, I could tell you this,

635
00:27:43,194 --> 00:27:48,667
Legado Del Fantasma do not appreciate
being accused of committing crimes

636
00:27:48,733 --> 00:27:50,702
that they didn't do.

637
00:27:50,769 --> 00:27:52,237
We've seen them attack in the past,

638
00:27:52,303 --> 00:27:54,472
and they proudly claimed it
every single time.

639
00:27:54,539 --> 00:27:57,742
They are not liars in Legado Del Fantasma,

640
00:27:57,809 --> 00:27:59,010
so don't you accuse them of lying now.

641
00:27:59,077 --> 00:28:01,513
Listen, Briggs and Jensen,

642
00:28:01,579 --> 00:28:03,515
if they want some advice from me,

643
00:28:03,581 --> 00:28:05,116
they need to stop holding their tongue.

644
00:28:05,183 --> 00:28:08,420
[Vic] Lopez, cover,
and Henley able to kick out at two.

645
00:28:08,486 --> 00:28:10,388
Look, we've already seen
Santos Escobar tonight.

646
00:28:10,455 --> 00:28:12,824
He's got gold on his mind heading
into Dallas.

647
00:28:12,891 --> 00:28:14,426
Elektra Lopez, the same.

648
00:28:14,492 --> 00:28:15,593
She wants to become a champion,

649
00:28:15,660 --> 00:28:19,397
but Mandy Rose has her hands full
with Cora Jade.

650
00:28:19,464 --> 00:28:20,799
[Wade] Talk about Cora Jade,
in my opinion,

651
00:28:20,865 --> 00:28:23,034
we have seen some appalling behavior

652
00:28:23,101 --> 00:28:24,636
from Cora Jade over the past few weeks,

653
00:28:24,703 --> 00:28:29,274
antagonizing, goading our great
Women's Champion, Mandy Rose.

654
00:28:29,340 --> 00:28:33,344
But she's got what she wanted
at Stand & Deliver,

655
00:28:33,411 --> 00:28:37,248
she gets an opportunity at Mandy Rose's
NXT Women's Championship.

656
00:28:37,315 --> 00:28:39,517
And who knows, a win tonight
from one of these two ladies

657
00:28:39,584 --> 00:28:43,321
in the ring, they could be next in line
for Mandy Rose

658
00:28:43,388 --> 00:28:45,423
after Mandy inevitably,

659
00:28:45,490 --> 00:28:47,225
successfully defends against
Cora Jade at Stand & Deliver.

660
00:28:47,292 --> 00:28:49,127
Come on, Fallon! Come on!

661
00:28:49,194 --> 00:28:50,228
[Vic] That's a great point
that you bring up.

662
00:28:50,295 --> 00:28:54,132
Rose-Jade at NXT Stand & Deliver
for the NXT Women's Championship.

663
00:28:54,199 --> 00:28:55,867
Tickets are available now.

664
00:28:55,934 --> 00:28:58,069
But Henley not focused on Dallas,

665
00:28:58,136 --> 00:29:00,238
she's focused
on breaking out of this hold.

666
00:29:00,305 --> 00:29:01,139
[Wade] Well, let's face it,

667
00:29:01,206 --> 00:29:06,411
Fallon Henley has received one-way traffic
abuse so far in this match up.

668
00:29:06,478 --> 00:29:09,881
I've sung the praises
of Persia Pirotta in 2022.

669
00:29:09,948 --> 00:29:11,316
Her career is taking off.

670
00:29:11,382 --> 00:29:13,418
-No end. Going viral this week.
-[Vic] Whoa, whoa, whoa.

671
00:29:13,485 --> 00:29:14,753
Shoulders down. Shoulders down.

672
00:29:14,819 --> 00:29:17,322
And Lopez kicks out,
has to relinquish the hold.

673
00:29:17,388 --> 00:29:19,491
Nasty landing though for Henley.

674
00:29:19,557 --> 00:29:22,494
[Wade] My next call,
it has to be Elektra Lopez.

675
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:23,995
She is on the ascent.

685
00:29:45,817 --> 00:29:48,753
Hats off to these ladies
for retaining their focus.

686
00:29:48,820 --> 00:29:50,622
[Vic] Well, Henley, a lot like Briggs
and Jensen right now,

687
00:29:50,688 --> 00:29:53,057
swinging at everything in front of her.

688
00:29:53,124 --> 00:29:54,559
Henley trying to battle back
in this match up.

689
00:29:54,626 --> 00:29:57,562
Oh, just taken Lopez off her feet.

690
00:29:57,629 --> 00:29:59,731
[Wade] Oh, what an opportunity
to climb the ladder

691
00:29:59,798 --> 00:30:02,333
in the women's division,
this is, for both ladies.

692
00:30:02,400 --> 00:30:04,235
This would be a huge win,

693
00:30:04,302 --> 00:30:07,272
especially for Fallon Henley
in her young career.

694
00:30:07,338 --> 00:30:09,440
[Vic] Into the cover. Into the cover.
Is it enough?

695
00:30:09,507 --> 00:30:10,642
And Lopez kicks out.

696
00:30:10,708 --> 00:30:13,812
I mean, you have to consider
this match up an upset,

697
00:30:13,878 --> 00:30:15,046
no, if Henley was able to win?

698
00:30:15,113 --> 00:30:18,583
[Wade] Listen, Fallon Henley,
a relative newcomer here.

699
00:30:18,650 --> 00:30:21,119
Of course, Elektra Lopez
slightly more established,

700
00:30:21,186 --> 00:30:24,722
but she has that extra level
of experience.

701
00:30:24,789 --> 00:30:25,723
And that's gonna do it.

702
00:30:25,790 --> 00:30:27,892

there's an upset, here tonight.

708
00:30:38,169 --> 00:30:42,407

I want to get your thoughts
ahead of tonight's main event.

747
00:33:11,990 --> 00:33:14,092
Well, last year, Dakota went to the finals

748
00:33:14,158 --> 00:33:15,526
and won it with her best friend.

749
00:33:15,593 --> 00:33:17,495
And this year, we're going to the finals,

750
00:33:17,562 --> 00:33:19,964
and she's gonna win it
with her new best friend.

that you and Raquel were at last year,

754
00:33:24,235 --> 00:33:26,904

that you totally kicked her in the face,

00:33:26,971 --> 00:33:29,273

00:33:29,340 --> 00:33:31,542

But she's right though.

760
00:33:40,685 --> 00:33:42,887
Raquel and I, we were a great team.

761
00:33:42,954 --> 00:33:45,556
Honestly, when Wendy came to find me,

762
00:33:45,623 --> 00:33:47,258
I wasn't sure if it would work out.

to Bron Breakker, I mean,

00:36:35,092 --> 00:36:37,562
what are Breakker's emotions heading
into this match up,

809
00:36:37,628 --> 00:36:41,098
with such a huge championship match up
coming up a week from Saturday?

810
00:36:41,165 --> 00:36:43,267
[Wade] Emotions and Bron Breakker
are two things

811
00:36:43,334 --> 00:36:45,169
that are just synonymous at this point.

812

00:36:49,540 --> 00:36:50,575
We know that.

814
00:36:50,641 --> 00:36:51,909
But his focus, of course,

815
00:36:51,976 --> 00:36:55,379
as you mentioned is a week
from Saturday, NXT Stand & Deliver.

816
00:36:55,446 --> 00:36:58,983

to win back the NXT ti…

Robert Roode tonight,

819
00:37:02,687 --> 00:37:04,422
Bron Breakker might not even
make it to Dallas.

820
00:37:04,488 --> 00:37:08,092
[Vic] Look at Breakker showcasing
the athleticism, the speed,

821
00:37:08,159 --> 00:37:11,462
and now the strength that made him
the NXT Champion.

822
00:37:12,396 --> 00:37:13,464
You talk about being hotheaded.

823
00:37:13,531 --> 00:37:15,399
Hasn't Breakker answered
those questions though?

824
00:37:15,466 --> 00:37:19,337
War Games, main events, being champion,
defending the champion.

825
00:37:19,403 --> 00:37:22,039
Hasn't he answered even more
with what he's done in the ring?

826
00:37:22,106 --> 00:37:23,107
Example, now.

827
00:37:23,174 --> 00:37:26,477
[Wade] Listen, Bron Breakker
has answered some of the questions

828
00:37:26,544 --> 00:37:30,214
on the emotions, but let's look
at how he lost the NXT Championship.

829
00:37:30,281 --> 00:37:34,719
He was goaded into defending it
in a triple-threat match,

830
00:37:34,785 --> 00:37:36,821
where he didn't need to be pinned
to lose his title.

831
00:37:36,887 --> 00:37:40,091
Well, he did lose his title,
and he'll always be a hothead.

832
00:37:40,157 --> 00:37:42,760
You simply cannot take that away
from Bron Breakker.

833
00:37:43,361 --> 00:37:46,998
[Vic] Breakker right now,
dragging Robert Roode back to the ring.

834
00:37:47,064 --> 00:37:48,633
I'm glad you brought
the triple-threat match

835
00:37:48,699 --> 00:37:51,335
because it was Roode that cost Breakker
the championship.

836
00:37:51,402 --> 00:37:53,504
[Wade] Again, it's his own fault.
He's a hothead.

837
00:37:53,571 --> 00:37:55,172
Triple-threat, anything goes.

838
00:37:55,239 --> 00:37:58,876
We know that Robert Roode's been
involved in this situation

839
00:37:58,943 --> 00:38:01,312
for the first few weeks,
dressing up as a cameraman,

840
00:38:01,379 --> 00:38:03,180
jumping Bron several times.

841
00:38:03,247 --> 00:38:06,751
Tonight, it's personal for Bron Breakker.

842
00:38:06,817 --> 00:38:08,119
He's got some hate in his eyes,

843
00:38:08,586 --> 00:38:11,255
although those eyes are starting
to glaze over at this point.

844
00:38:11,322 --> 00:38:15,026
[Vic] Ziggler right now,
shouting on the outside.

845
00:38:15,092 --> 00:38:16,761
The NXT Champion has to be all smiles.

846
00:38:16,827 --> 00:38:19,163
[Wade] Of course, he's all smiles.
He's done it all.

847
00:38:19,230 --> 00:38:20,531
He's seen it all.

848
00:38:20,598 --> 00:38:23,567
He promised us
he was gonna come here to NXT,

849
00:38:23,634 --> 00:38:26,570
win the big one, win the NXT Championship.

850
00:38:26,637 --> 00:38:28,439
And he's done exactly that,

851
00:38:28,506 --> 00:38:31,242
and throw the wrench
into NXT Stand & Deliver.

852
00:38:32,009 --> 00:38:34,912
[Vic] And right now, Robert Roode
is hitting on all cylinders.

853
00:38:34,979 --> 00:38:37,281
Look, you've talked about
what the Champion gains out of tonight.

854
00:38:37,348 --> 00:38:39,483
What does Robert Roode gain tonight?

855
00:38:39,550 --> 00:38:40,818
[Wade] Come on.

856
00:38:40,885 --> 00:38:44,021
He wants to soften up Bron ahead
of his match at Stand & Deliver

857
00:38:44,088 --> 00:38:46,223
with NXT Champ, the Zigman.

858
00:38:46,290 --> 00:38:49,393
Not only that, it has to be said, Roode…
Whoa.

859
00:38:49,460 --> 00:38:52,029
[Vic] Now, Roode's not gonna like the view
when he turns around.

860
00:38:52,096 --> 00:38:54,198
[Wade] Up until now, Roode has felt luck.

861
00:38:54,265 --> 00:38:56,300
He carried himself a little differently,

862
00:38:56,367 --> 00:38:58,803
flashbacks to when Roode ran NXT.

863
00:38:58,869 --> 00:39:00,871
And I got to say
that's still my favorite entrance…

864
00:39:00,938 --> 00:39:03,808
-[Vic] Oh!
-[Wade] …in all of WWE.

865
00:39:03,874 --> 00:39:06,177
We're talking about
making an entrance and meeting

866
00:39:06,243 --> 00:39:07,445
that steel post shoulder first.

867
00:39:07,511 --> 00:39:08,879
[Vic] Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

868
00:39:08,946 --> 00:39:11,248
You. Get out of here.

869
00:39:11,315 --> 00:39:14,251
[Wade] This is the…
What is this referee playing?

870
00:39:14,318 --> 00:39:15,486
[Vic] What do you mean?

871
00:39:15,553 --> 00:39:18,356
Dolph Ziggler stuck his nose in the match.

872
00:39:18,422 --> 00:39:19,724
Great call by the official.

873
00:39:20,791 --> 00:39:22,993
No! You don't call me out.

874
00:39:26,297 --> 00:39:28,599
[Vic] Back live on NXT, Bron Breakker,

875
00:39:28,666 --> 00:39:31,068
Robert Roode doing battle here,

876
00:39:31,135 --> 00:39:34,271
as Bron Breakker trying to gain
some extra momentum heading

877
00:39:34,338 --> 00:39:37,908
into his NXT Stand & Deliver
championship match up

878
00:39:37,975 --> 00:39:40,811
against Dolph Ziggler,
a week from Saturday!

879
00:39:40,878 --> 00:39:42,980
What a blockbuster from Robert Roode!

880
00:39:43,047 --> 00:39:46,684
Roode now, quickly into the cover
to knock Breakker down a peg,

881
00:39:46,751 --> 00:39:48,586
and a kick out by Breakker.

882
00:39:48,652 --> 00:39:51,689
Well, we look around, Dolph Ziggler
no longer out here.

883
00:39:51,756 --> 00:39:55,126
And this happened just before the break.

884
00:39:55,192 --> 00:39:57,661
Dolph Ziggler stuck his nose
in the match up.

885
00:39:57,728 --> 00:40:01,532
Referee had seen enough,
ejecting the NXT Champion.

886
00:40:01,599 --> 00:40:03,501
[Wade] Well, this buffoon of a referee
wanting to grab…

887
00:40:03,567 --> 00:40:04,435
[Vic] Buffon?

888
00:40:04,502 --> 00:40:05,836
[Wade] …a piece of that spotlight
for himself.

889
00:40:05,903 --> 00:40:10,808
One of the most disgraceful incidents
I've seen from an official, here in NXT.

890
00:40:10,875 --> 00:40:14,044
You do not treat
the NXT Champion like that.

891
00:40:14,111 --> 00:40:15,846
This guy should get his pay back.

892
00:40:15,913 --> 00:40:19,016
[Vic] One-half of The Dirty Dawgs
doing some dirty work here tonight.

893
00:40:19,083 --> 00:40:23,087
And look, Robert Roode knows
he can really reinvigorate his career,

894
00:40:23,154 --> 00:40:24,121
here this evening.

895
00:40:24,188 --> 00:40:25,990
[Wade] He seems like a different man
in here.

896
00:40:26,056 --> 00:40:27,224
He's back to his best.

897
00:40:27,291 --> 00:40:30,728
Look what wins in NXT have done
for Ziggler, Mandy Rose,

898
00:40:30,795 --> 00:40:31,729
the Women's Champion.

899
00:40:31,796 --> 00:40:36,834
How about Finn Bálor, the now
United States Champion on Raw?

900
00:40:36,901 --> 00:40:37,735
Beat the young--

901
00:40:37,802 --> 00:40:39,804
[Vic] Into the cover. And… Oh, wow.

902
00:40:39,870 --> 00:40:41,305
-[Wade] Too easy.
-[Vic] It was.

903
00:40:41,372 --> 00:40:42,473
[Wade] Listen, I'll tell you this.

904
00:40:42,540 --> 00:40:45,276
[Vic] We know who that is a message to,
from Robert Roode,

905
00:40:45,342 --> 00:40:47,278
if you think about Bron Breakker.

906
00:40:47,344 --> 00:40:48,179
[Wade] All right.

907
00:40:48,245 --> 00:40:50,514
If you hear me, listen,
beat the young pup, Bron Breakker,

908
00:40:50,581 --> 00:40:53,217
and a few people are gonna start looking
at Robert Roode

909
00:40:53,284 --> 00:40:54,718
very differently once again.

910
00:40:56,854 --> 00:40:59,790
[Vic] Now, you talked about
Dolph Ziggler's mind games.

911
00:40:59,857 --> 00:41:02,193
How about the mind games, here tonight,

912
00:41:02,259 --> 00:41:04,995
being displayed by The Glorious One?

913
00:41:05,062 --> 00:41:06,564
[Wade] This is exactly what you need

914
00:41:06,630 --> 00:41:08,933
to do against an inexperienced contender.

915
00:41:08,999 --> 00:41:11,569
Look, physically, there is no weakness
to Bron Breakker.

916
00:41:11,635 --> 00:41:12,503
-[Vic] Oh!
-[Wade] Ooh!

917
00:41:12,570 --> 00:41:13,571
We've established that,

918
00:41:13,637 --> 00:41:16,173
although the neck might be
starting to break down

919
00:41:16,240 --> 00:41:17,408
with maneuvers like that.

920
00:41:17,475 --> 00:41:19,043
[Vic] Off the neck breaker,
into another cover,

921
00:41:19,109 --> 00:41:21,645
and another kick out by Bron Breakker.

922
00:41:21,712 --> 00:41:25,015
[Wade] Mess with Bron Breakker's head,
that is the key to success.

923
00:41:25,082 --> 00:41:26,784
That is well established now.

924
00:41:27,751 --> 00:41:29,253
[Vic] And then you just see, bam!

925
00:41:30,454 --> 00:41:33,591
The pain etched on Bron Breakker's face.

926
00:41:33,657 --> 00:41:36,093
And Robert Roode came in with a game plan.

927
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:38,662
[Wade] That was the game plan,
was soften up Bron Breakker.

928
00:41:38,729 --> 00:41:41,265
Yes, beat him, but soften him up
in the process,

929
00:41:41,332 --> 00:41:44,168
just leave a few scraps for Dolph Ziggler

930
00:41:44,235 --> 00:41:46,337
to feed on at Stand & Deliver.

931
00:41:46,403 --> 00:41:50,407
[Vic] Oh. Breakker now back to his feet.

932
00:41:50,474 --> 00:41:52,643
And look, for Bron Breakker,

933
00:41:52,710 --> 00:41:56,213
he's trying to build momentum
to the biggest match in his career,

934
00:41:56,280 --> 00:41:59,416
a week from Saturday,
Wrestle Mania Saturday,

935
00:41:59,483 --> 00:42:01,118
NXT Stand & Deliver.

936
00:42:01,185 --> 00:42:04,121
But one last hurdle for Breakker
to get through.

937
00:42:04,188 --> 00:42:06,690
Can he get through
that hurdle here tonight?

938
00:42:06,757 --> 00:42:09,994
[Wade] Is Breakker biting off more
than he can chew though?

939
00:42:10,060 --> 00:42:11,962
Is that the inexperience kicking in?

940
00:42:12,029 --> 00:42:14,331
Once again, let's face it,
if you are smart,

941
00:42:14,398 --> 00:42:16,400
you would keep yourself up 100% health.

942
00:42:16,467 --> 00:42:17,568
[Vic] Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

943
00:42:17,635 --> 00:42:18,936
[Wade] I don't like this at all.

944
00:42:20,738 --> 00:42:21,572
Oh!

945
00:42:21,639 --> 00:42:22,907
[Vic] Breakker taking out Roode.

946
00:42:23,874 --> 00:42:25,643
-[Wade] What a--
-[Vic] Frankensteiner.

947
00:42:25,709 --> 00:42:28,212
[Wade] Pain etched
on the face of Breakker, though,

948
00:42:28,546 --> 00:42:30,080
holding that clavicle.

949
00:42:32,182 --> 00:42:35,553
How much damage
has the young man caused himself

950
00:42:35,619 --> 00:42:36,487
in the process?

951
00:42:36,554 --> 00:42:38,656
[Vic] And right now,
you got to believe Breakker

952
00:42:38,722 --> 00:42:41,592
is showing you all the qualities
that have made him a champion.

953
00:42:41,659 --> 00:42:44,562
[Wade] Yeah, I've got to give credit
to Bron Breakker.

954
00:42:44,628 --> 00:42:46,964
-[Vic] Uh-oh.
-[Wade] Oh, explosive attack once again.

955
00:42:47,031 --> 00:42:49,934
Listen, he's already
main-evented Premium Live Events,

956
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:53,003
won titles, won his debut match on Raw.

957
00:42:53,070 --> 00:42:56,073
Anyone would be cocky
with that kind of resume,

958
00:42:56,140 --> 00:42:57,908
even more so after about 30 matches…

959
00:42:57,975 --> 00:43:00,311
-[Vic] Oh!
-[Wade] …or whatever he's had.

960
00:43:01,111 --> 00:43:02,846
[Vic] Into the cover again,
this time for Roode,

961
00:43:02,913 --> 00:43:05,616
off the spine buster,
and again Breakker kicks out.

962
00:43:05,683 --> 00:43:07,851
[Wade] I'll tell you,
a lot of qualities to Bron Breakker.

963
00:43:07,918 --> 00:43:12,856
One quality he has above all others
is his ability to remain humble enough,

964
00:43:12,923 --> 00:43:17,494
to stay coachable despite
this early success in his career.

965
00:43:17,561 --> 00:43:19,730
That's why he's gonna keep
on getting better.

966
00:43:19,797 --> 00:43:22,533
Is he good enough right now
to beat Robert Roode though?

967
00:43:22,600 --> 00:43:23,767
That is the question.

968
00:43:23,834 --> 00:43:29,073
[Vic] NXT live, here tonight,
Robert Roode taking on Bron Breakker.

969
00:43:29,139 --> 00:43:31,275
Two former NXT Champions.

970
00:43:31,342 --> 00:43:34,178
And we know what Robert Roode
is looking for.

971
00:43:37,681 --> 00:43:38,916
[crowd yells "Glorious!"]

972
00:43:38,983 --> 00:43:42,386
[Vic] Looking for that Glorious DDT.

973
00:43:42,453 --> 00:43:46,223
Oh, wait, Breakker has other plans. Whoa!

974
00:43:46,290 --> 00:43:49,560
[Wade] When does the tank
of Bron Breakker run empty?

975
00:43:51,095 --> 00:43:52,997
That is a question
that needs to be answered.

976
00:43:53,063 --> 00:43:53,998
I'm here to see it.

977
00:43:56,367 --> 00:43:59,136
[Vic] Breakker with Roode in his sights.

978
00:43:59,203 --> 00:44:00,037
Oh!

979
00:44:01,238 --> 00:44:02,773
The veteran had Breakker well-scouted.

980
00:44:02,840 --> 00:44:03,907
Oh!

981
00:44:05,175 --> 00:44:08,445
Breakker just running through Roode.

982
00:44:08,512 --> 00:44:10,547
[Wade] Yeah, but Breakker is in a mess.

983
00:44:10,614 --> 00:44:11,482
[Vic] Cover.

984
00:44:11,548 --> 00:44:13,450
[crowd counts]

985
00:44:13,517 --> 00:44:14,585
[Vic] Oh!

986
00:44:14,652 --> 00:44:17,154
Roode just kicked out.

987
00:44:17,221 --> 00:44:19,023
[Wade] Just a millisecond away.

988
00:44:19,089 --> 00:44:22,526
All caused by the fact that Bron just
took too long to make the cover.

989
00:44:22,593 --> 00:44:23,494
[Vic] Bam!

990
00:44:23,560 --> 00:44:28,465
[Wade] So beat-up as he is,
the pain etched all over his face.

991
00:44:28,532 --> 00:44:31,435
[Vic] This is quite the test
for Bron Breakker.

992
00:44:31,502 --> 00:44:34,071
So close to his NXT Championship

993
00:44:34,138 --> 00:44:36,006
opportunity against Dolph Ziggler.

994
00:44:36,073 --> 00:44:38,275
I mean, is this good,
or is it bad for Breakker?

995
00:44:38,342 --> 00:44:41,445
Could Breakker psych himself out,
heading into Stand & Deliver?

996
00:44:41,512 --> 00:44:42,980
[Wade] Listen, that's easy said done.

997
00:44:43,047 --> 00:44:45,249
Sleepless nights, overthinking,
nervous energy,

998
00:44:45,315 --> 00:44:48,786
that was my experience
at my first WrestleMania weekend.

999
00:44:48,852 --> 00:44:50,554
I'm sure Bron Breakker feels the same.

1000
00:44:50,621 --> 00:44:53,390
The only thing that can defeat
that is experience,

1001
00:44:53,457 --> 00:44:54,558
and that's the only thing
Bron doesn't have.

1002
00:44:54,625 --> 00:44:57,528
[Vic] Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa. Glorious DDT!

1003
00:45:03,033 --> 00:45:05,569
Roode into the cover, and Robert Roode…

1004
00:45:05,636 --> 00:45:07,104
Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.

1005
00:45:09,973 --> 00:45:13,844
[Wade] Do not write off
Bron Breakker too soon,

1006
00:45:13,911 --> 00:45:16,947
despite DDT connecting.

1007
00:45:17,014 --> 00:45:22,419
99% of superstars in this industry
would've been done,

1008
00:45:22,486 --> 00:45:24,655
toast right there, but somehow,

1009
00:45:24,721 --> 00:45:28,025
the young pup just finding enough
to stay in this match.

1010
00:45:28,092 --> 00:45:30,961
[Vic] Look,
that couple extra moments of time

1011
00:45:31,028 --> 00:45:33,464
where Roode was trying to collect himself

1012
00:45:33,530 --> 00:45:34,698
might've cost him this match up

1013
00:45:34,765 --> 00:45:36,500
because those few extra moments

1014
00:45:36,567 --> 00:45:38,969
helped Bron Breakker refocus himself.

1015
00:45:40,137 --> 00:45:43,140
[crowd chants "This is awesome!"]

1016
00:45:50,380 --> 00:45:51,915
[Vic] Roode, Breakker.

1017
00:45:53,317 --> 00:45:58,422
[Wade] Listen, both fighters,
at this point, are physical wrecks.

1018
00:45:58,489 --> 00:46:00,357
[Vic] You got to wonder
what's going through the mind

1019
00:46:00,424 --> 00:46:02,926
of Dolph Ziggler,
who's watching this match up

1020
00:46:02,993 --> 00:46:06,563
somewhere right now
after getting ejected from ringside.

1021
00:46:06,630 --> 00:46:08,031
[Wade] He's loving every second of this.

1022
00:46:08,098 --> 00:46:11,235
The longer Robert Roode
can punish Bron Breakker,

1023
00:46:11,301 --> 00:46:13,570
the better for Dolph Ziggler

1024
00:46:13,637 --> 00:46:16,440
and his chances at NXT Stand & Deliver.

1025
00:46:16,507 --> 00:46:19,409
[Vic] Or is Ziggler being
to coming a little bit scared?

1026
00:46:19,476 --> 00:46:21,612
We've seen him cut
corners already here tonight.

1027
00:46:21,678 --> 00:46:23,647
[Wade] Dolph knows Bron's weaknesses.

1028
00:46:23,714 --> 00:46:26,450
He's exploited them week in, week out.

1029
00:46:26,517 --> 00:46:27,684
He's doing it again.

1030
00:46:27,751 --> 00:46:29,086
Mess with Bron's head.

1031
00:46:29,153 --> 00:46:32,022
This is a vet game.
Ziggler has mastered it.

1032
00:46:33,123 --> 00:46:37,628
And his Dirty Dawg partner, Robert Roode,
he has the perfect henchman.

1033
00:46:37,694 --> 00:46:39,530
[Vic] Yeah, but right now,
it's Bron Breakker,

1034
00:46:39,596 --> 00:46:42,666
who's overcoming
Robert Roode's game here tonight.

1035
00:46:46,403 --> 00:46:49,006
Roode set up one more time, looking for…

1036
00:46:49,072 --> 00:46:50,140
Oh, got caught, planted.

1037

1038
00:46:53,577 --> 00:46:55,279
[Vic] What a statement victory
by Breakker!

1039

[Alicia] Here is your winner,
Bron Breakker!

1042
00:47:02,352 --> 00:47:06,089
[Wade] Well, that is how quick
Bron Breakker could turn things

1043
00:47:06,156 --> 00:47:09,526
around with his power, his explosivity.

1044
00:47:09,593 --> 00:47:12,796
The question being, as you look
at the damaged frame

1045
00:47:12,863 --> 00:47:16,834
of Bron Breakker,
how much has it cost the young man,

1046
00:47:16,900 --> 00:47:20,304
just 10 or 11 days short
of Stand & Deliver?

1047
00:47:20,370 --> 00:47:23,507
[Vic] Let's go back
at some of the action in this match up.

1048
00:47:23,574 --> 00:47:24,975
Because you see the quickness,

1049
00:47:25,042 --> 00:47:28,946
the intensity, and the power
on display all match long

1050
00:47:29,012 --> 00:47:30,013
from Bron Breakker.

1051
00:47:30,080 --> 00:47:32,683
When I mean power, take a look, bam.

1052
00:47:32,749 --> 00:47:34,818
Breakker able to catch Robert Roode,

1053
00:47:34,885 --> 00:47:36,987
have the presence of mind to plant Roode,

1054
00:47:37,054 --> 00:47:38,255
pick up the victory,

1055
00:47:38,322 --> 00:47:44,795
as he now heads to NXT Stand & Deliver
for the biggest match of his career,

1056
00:47:44,862 --> 00:47:46,396
one week from Satur…

Whoa!

1058
00:47:51,034 --> 00:47:52,102
Oh!

1059
00:47:52,836 --> 00:47:54,705
[Wade] Ziggler, once again.

1060
00:47:55,672 --> 00:47:59,276
You will never be at my level!

1061
00:47:59,343 --> 00:48:03,580
You turned your back
on the wrong damn man!

1062
00:48:04,548 --> 00:48:10,621
This, this stays with me
until I give it away!

1063

1065
00:48:13,257 --> 00:48:15,359
[Wade] When will Bron Breakker wear that?

1066
00:48:15,425 --> 00:48:16,793
Enjoy it, kid.

1067
00:48:16,860 --> 00:48:18,962
That's as close to this.

1068
00:48:19,930 --> 00:48:22,666
Keep that ice on you. You'll be okay.

1069
00:48:22,733 --> 00:48:24,268
That was such a tough loss.

1070
00:48:24,334 --> 00:48:26,737
Persia, did you let go
of the crowbar on purpose?

1071
00:48:26,803 --> 00:48:28,438
On purpose? Of course not.

1072
00:48:28,505 --> 00:48:30,574
Tony ripped it out of my hands.

1073
00:48:30,641 --> 00:48:33,543
Stop making excuses for why your man lost.

1074
00:48:33,610 --> 00:48:35,913
Duke would never make excuses like that.

1075
00:48:35,979 --> 00:48:39,416
My man can get the job done
inside and outside the ring.

1076
00:48:39,483 --> 00:48:41,618
-Right, babe?
-Absolutely.

1077
00:48:41,685 --> 00:48:44,721
You do know your boyfriend
is Duke Hudson, not John Cena?

1078
00:48:44,788 --> 00:48:46,256
Yeah, and he could beat him,

1079
00:48:46,323 --> 00:48:48,425
and any man on the roster for that matter.

1080
00:48:49,559 --> 00:48:50,460
Is that so?

1081
00:48:50,527 --> 00:48:51,662
Mm-hmm. Sure is.

1082
00:48:52,529 --> 00:48:53,430
Interesting.

1083
00:48:57,467 --> 00:49:00,604
-Yeah. So what's he doing there?
-Yeah, what's going on?

1084
00:49:00,671 --> 00:49:03,607
This is the way Dexy expresses himself
outside the bedroom.

1085
00:49:03,674 --> 00:49:06,410
Cool, but he's being weird.
Like, what's he actually doing?

1086
00:49:06,476 --> 00:49:08,745
-Is he drawing, or what?
-I think he's drawing.

1087
00:49:08,812 --> 00:49:10,113
Yeah, nothing good happens when he draws.

1088
00:49:10,180 --> 00:49:11,014
What's going on?

1089
00:49:12,249 --> 00:49:13,116
Hello?

1090
00:49:15,452 --> 00:49:18,021
You said your man can beat anyone
on the roster.

1091
00:49:18,088 --> 00:49:22,993
-He can.
-Well, can your man beat Gunther?

1092
00:49:24,761 --> 00:49:27,497
Wait, how did you draw that so fast?

1093
00:49:27,564 --> 00:49:28,999
Sexy, right?

1094
00:49:29,066 --> 00:49:31,435
Of course, Duke can beat Gunther.

1095
00:49:31,501 --> 00:49:32,369
Right, babe?

1096
00:49:33,870 --> 00:49:35,605
Yeah, absolutely.

1097

Come on. Let's go.

1098
00:49:39,943 --> 00:49:42,746
[Vic] Oh, that was certainly
some fast thinking by Lumis.

1099
00:49:42,813 --> 00:49:47,718
But are we looking at the next duo
to etch their name in history,

1100
00:49:47,784 --> 00:49:49,419

and my personal fortitude.

Recently, Von Wagner took
the [indistinct] and sucker punched me.

1123
00:50:54,985 --> 00:50:56,853

Who taught you how to speak that way?

1138
00:51:23,980 --> 00:51:27,050
To be honest, Mr. Chase, you did.

1139
00:51:33,790 --> 00:51:35,559
That's the most beautiful thing
I've ever heard.

1140

and let him finish.

1177
00:53:18,695 --> 00:53:20,864
Oh, come on.

1178
00:53:20,931 --> 00:53:22,899
And Waller… Oh.

1179
00:53:22,966 --> 00:53:24,467
[Wade] Talk about how impressed I was,

1180
00:53:24,534 --> 00:53:27,704
I think the whole world was impressed
by A-Kid last week.

1181
00:53:27,771 --> 00:53:30,440
Blew the NXT Universe away

1182
00:53:30,507 --> 00:53:32,809
and he's continuing
doing that this week capped

1183
00:53:32,876 --> 00:53:35,045
with a huge victory over Kushida

1184
00:53:35,111 --> 00:53:40,350
which has got him this opportunity
to qualify for NXT Stand & Deliver,

1185
00:53:40,417 --> 00:53:43,587
the North American ladder match.

1186
00:53:43,653 --> 00:53:45,622
[Vic] And there is Solo Sikoa

1187
00:53:45,689 --> 00:53:49,059
who advanced earlier tonight,
as we mentioned, to Dallas.

1188
00:53:49,125 --> 00:53:52,529
Will it be Waller or A-Kid
advancing here tonight?

1189
00:53:52,596 --> 00:53:55,465
Look, for Grayson Waller,
he's been in a very foul mood

1190
00:53:55,532 --> 00:53:58,668
not just because of what's going
on recently here in NXT but also as…

1191
00:53:58,735 --> 00:54:00,870
Wait a minute, shoulders down,
shoulders down. Kick out.

1192
00:54:00,937 --> 00:54:03,406
I think he feels about Duke,
Persia and InDex going viral.

1193
00:54:03,473 --> 00:54:06,176
Inside cradle. Is this enough to advance?
Another kick out.

1194
00:54:06,243 --> 00:54:07,110
[Wade] Steady on.

1195
00:54:07,177 --> 00:54:09,746
I think you'll find it wasn't InDex
that went viral.

1196
00:54:09,813 --> 00:54:11,381
It was Dusia that went viral.

1197
00:54:11,448 --> 00:54:12,282
[Vic] Oh, whatever it is.

1198
00:54:12,349 --> 00:54:13,883
It's a cover for Waller
and another kick out.

1199
00:54:13,950 --> 00:54:14,985
[Wade] I tell you this.

1200
00:54:15,051 --> 00:54:19,589
If Grayson Waller could lip-lock
like the Duke, he'd go viral too.

1201
00:54:19,656 --> 00:54:24,527
[Vic] Now, speaking of the Duke,
Hudson might have a tough mountain

1202
00:54:24,594 --> 00:54:27,530
to overcome later tonight
because it is official.

1203
00:54:27,597 --> 00:54:30,567
Hudson-Gunther. A-Kid able to counter.

1204
00:54:30,634 --> 00:54:34,304
And now back on the offense
is the Spanish Sensation

1205
00:54:34,371 --> 00:54:35,772
who just drops Waller.

1206
00:54:35,839 --> 00:54:37,040
[Wade] Blink of an eye.

1207
00:54:37,107 --> 00:54:38,642
-A-Kid can pull out some… Oh.
-[Vic] Watch out.

1208
00:54:38,708 --> 00:54:40,543
Oh!

1209
00:54:42,045 --> 00:54:44,581
Shaking the announce desk was A-Kid.

1210
00:54:44,648 --> 00:54:48,251
And how much confidence
has A-Kid gained since last week?

1211
00:54:48,318 --> 00:54:49,552
-Counter.
-[Wade] Oh!

1212
00:54:49,619 --> 00:54:51,154
[Vic] Counter into the submission.
Into the submission.

1213
00:54:51,221 --> 00:54:54,457
Is Waller gonna tap out?
Is A-Kid headed to Dallas?

1214
00:54:54,524 --> 00:54:58,395
Can A-Kid continue to squeeze?
Can he advance to NXT Stand & Deliver?

1215
00:54:58,461 --> 00:55:00,764
[crowd chants]

1216
00:55:00,830 --> 00:55:03,400
[Vic] Trying to negotiate
his way into a guillotine.

1217
00:55:03,466 --> 00:55:05,635
[Wade] What a technician this man is!

1218
00:55:05,702 --> 00:55:07,404
-In a blink of an eye he can…
-[Vic] Whoa!

1219
00:55:07,470 --> 00:55:09,606
[Wade] …switch this match around.

1220
00:55:09,673 --> 00:55:10,940
-[Vic] Uh-oh.
-[Wade] Oh.

1221
00:55:11,007 --> 00:55:16,012
[Vic] Oh! What a counter
from Grayson Waller.

1222
00:55:16,079 --> 00:55:20,216
[Wade] As much as I can't stand the man,
he is incredibly skilled.

1223
00:55:20,283 --> 00:55:24,387
[Vic] Boom! And Waller now into the cover.

1224
00:55:24,454 --> 00:55:26,389
And is it Waller? And it is.

1225
00:55:26,456 --> 00:55:28,792
-[bell rings]
-[Vic] Waller headed to Dallas.

1226
00:55:28,858 --> 00:55:29,859
["Eye On The Prize" plays]

1227
00:55:29,926 --> 00:55:32,996
[Alicia] Here is your winner,
Grayson Waller!

1228
00:55:34,130 --> 00:55:36,399
[Wade] Blink and you'll miss it
match up there.

1229
00:55:36,466 --> 00:55:40,437
A-Kid showing us a highlight reel
as you would expect,

1230
00:55:40,503 --> 00:55:42,472
but unfortunately, once again,

1231
00:55:42,539 --> 00:55:47,344
somehow, Grayson Waller
managing to come up with the goods.

1232
00:55:47,410 --> 00:55:49,546
[Vic] Look, and A-Kid was able to take
one step ahead

1233
00:55:49,612 --> 00:55:51,348
of Grayson Waller
for some of this match up,

1234
00:55:51,414 --> 00:55:52,682
was able to catch Waller.

1235
00:55:52,749 --> 00:55:56,419
But like him or not,
give Waller credit where credit is due.

1236
00:55:56,486 --> 00:55:58,221
In front of Solo Sikoa,

1237
00:55:58,288 --> 00:56:01,491
it was Waller who punched
his ticket to Dallas

1238
00:56:01,558 --> 00:56:04,527
to be part of that
North American Championship ladder match.

1239
00:56:04,594 --> 00:56:07,130
He's gone off the cage.
He's been the last man standing.

1240
00:56:07,197 --> 00:56:10,533
I can only imagine what Waller
will do come Stand & Deliver.

1241
00:56:12,102 --> 00:56:15,338
Hey, I just realized one thing.

1242
00:56:15,405 --> 00:56:18,808
We're still missing one man
from the ladder match.

1243
00:56:20,243 --> 00:56:22,679
So, this is how we gonna with this.

1244
00:56:23,113 --> 00:56:25,682
Next week, we'll take the three losers.

1245
00:56:25,749 --> 00:56:28,551
We'll put them in another
qualifying triple-threat match.

1246
00:56:28,618 --> 00:56:30,320
-How about that?
-I like it.

1247
00:56:30,386 --> 00:56:32,222
You like that too?

1248
00:56:32,288 --> 00:56:33,823
So, it's gonna be this.

1249
00:56:33,890 --> 00:56:39,629
It's gonna be Cameron Grimes,
Roderick Strong, and A-Kid.

1250
00:56:39,696 --> 00:56:41,131
Yeah.

1251
00:56:41,197 --> 00:56:45,201
Hey, by the way, you might be A-Kid,

1252
00:56:45,268 --> 00:56:48,738
but you'll never be A Champion.

1253
00:56:48,805 --> 00:56:52,142
And tonight, I'm taking out the A-mama.

1254
00:56:52,942 --> 00:56:54,244
[Vic] Oh-ho!

1255
00:56:56,379 --> 00:56:57,447
["Black Sheep" plays]

1256
00:56:57,514 --> 00:57:01,284
Well, on this night,
it's A-Kid who has the last laugh.

1257
00:57:01,351 --> 00:57:03,920
But A-Kid will be one of three superstars

1258
00:57:03,987 --> 00:57:07,891
with one final opportunity
to head to Dallas next week.

1259
00:57:09,159 --> 00:57:11,528
See that, Von? You see that?

1260
00:57:11,594 --> 00:57:15,632
We're just trying to talk business,
have a conversation

1261
00:57:15,698 --> 00:57:17,667
and those idiots had to interrupt.

1262
00:57:17,734 --> 00:57:20,003
What is wrong with them,
especially Jiro, man.

1263
00:57:20,069 --> 00:57:22,272
Something is wrong with…

1264
00:57:22,338 --> 00:57:24,407
One thing at a time.

1265
00:57:24,474 --> 00:57:27,410
Bodhi next week, and then we'll move on.

1266
00:57:27,477 --> 00:57:29,012
Right. You're right.

1267
00:57:29,078 --> 00:57:31,047
-Oh, Robert.
-Oh, hey.

1268

We didn't get to finish
talking business last week.

1269

1270
00:57:35,251 --> 00:57:37,187
Yeah, I do.

Please, after you.

on the wall for that meeting.

Representing Diamond Mine,

1278
00:58:00,009 --> 00:58:04,113
Julius and Brutus, The Creed Brothers!

1279
00:58:04,180 --> 00:58:07,584
[Vic] Irritated, furious, incensed,

1280
00:58:07,650 --> 00:58:14,457
just a few words to describe the mindset
of Julius and Brutus, The Creed Brothers.

1281
00:58:14,524 --> 00:58:19,996
Well, it's this duo that's getting ready
to let out their frustrations here on NXT.

1282
00:58:20,063 --> 00:58:22,599

and the Grizzled Young Veterans

Lads, lads, why are you so angry?

1285
00:58:32,575 --> 00:58:35,979
I understand that you got jumped
the other week.

1286
00:58:36,045 --> 00:58:39,282
And I understand that you think
that it was us,

1287
00:58:39,349 --> 00:58:43,319
but do you really trust
those beef jerky ears of yours?

1288
00:58:49,425 --> 00:58:53,029
We did not jump you from behind.

1289
00:58:53,096 --> 00:58:55,732
Because if we're gonna jump you,
it's going to be--

1290
00:58:55,798 --> 00:58:57,233
[Vic] Whoa.

1291
00:58:58,334 --> 00:59:01,604

going right after Creed Brothers.

gonna start this match up.

1293
00:59:08,811 --> 00:59:10,880

1295
00:59:12,015 --> 00:59:14,217
[Vic] I mean, finally this match up
has begun.

1296
00:59:14,284 --> 00:59:15,485
And look at Brutus.

1297
00:59:15,551 --> 00:59:19,255
And look, Zack Gibson all he did, Wade,
was fire up The Creeds even more,

1298
00:59:19,322 --> 00:59:21,791
and they're already extra angry
heading into tonight.

1299
00:59:21,858 --> 00:59:23,993
[Wade] I'll tell you, your best chance
of beating The Creeds

1300
00:59:24,060 --> 00:59:26,629
probably is to jump them,
but this might have backfired.

1301
00:59:26,696 --> 00:59:28,898
You're right.
What a month The Creeds have had.

1302
00:59:28,965 --> 00:59:30,667
They were jumped in the parking lot.

1303
00:59:30,733 --> 00:59:33,469
We still don't know who by,
although, I have my suspicions.

1304
00:59:33,536 --> 00:59:35,104
[Vic] I mean, honestly,
who attacked The Creeds?

1305
00:59:35,171 --> 00:59:37,006
[Wade] My suspicions of it,
it was MSK, but let's move on.

1306
00:59:37,073 --> 00:59:38,575
[VIC] It wasn't MSK.

1307
00:59:38,641 --> 00:59:40,176
[Wade] Because it's been
a brutal month for them,

1308
00:59:40,243 --> 00:59:43,780
didn't get their tag championship
opportunity that they earned.

1309
00:59:43,846 --> 00:59:48,418
Roderick Strong earlier tonight fell short
when Solo Sikoa qualified

1310
00:59:48,484 --> 00:59:52,889
for the North American Championship
ladder match in Dallas.

1311
00:59:52,956 --> 00:59:54,090
And even Bivens is angry now.

1312
00:59:54,157 --> 00:59:58,261
The man is seeing his cash cow
keel over before his eyes.

1313
00:59:58,328 --> 00:59:59,228
[Vic] You bring up a great point.

1314
00:59:59,295 --> 01:00:01,431
I mean, how is the focus
of Diamond Mine right now

1315
01:00:01,497 --> 01:00:03,499
after how things started tonight?

1316
01:00:05,735 --> 01:00:09,339
[Wade] That focus clearly
part of the game plan

1317
01:00:09,405 --> 01:00:10,573
of Zack Gibson there.

1318
01:00:11,040 --> 01:00:12,609
Removing the focus of Julius Creed.

1319
01:00:12,675 --> 01:00:15,611
Look, it's been a nightmare for them,
nightmare evening so far,

1320
01:00:15,678 --> 01:00:18,448
and it's getting worse
thanks to the Grizzled Young Veterans.

1321
01:00:18,514 --> 01:00:22,485
[Vic] Oh! Well, hey, a win tonight
and the Grizzled Young Veterans

1322
01:00:22,552 --> 01:00:26,155
have an argument to be added
to NXT Stand & Deliver.

1323
01:00:26,222 --> 01:00:27,290
[Wade] I'd agree with that.

1324
01:00:27,357 --> 01:00:29,859
Listen, if you can beat The Creeds,
that is a strong argument

1325
01:00:29,926 --> 01:00:32,862
to be added to the triple-threat
tag championship match,

1326
01:00:32,929 --> 01:00:35,131
WrestleMania weekend

1327
01:00:35,198 --> 01:00:37,934
between Imperium, MSK, and The Creeds.

1328
01:00:38,001 --> 01:00:40,303
That's what this is all about.
It's all about tag gold.

1329
01:00:40,370 --> 01:00:43,773
[Vic] And again, tickets are available now
for NXT Stand & Deliver.

1330
01:00:43,840 --> 01:00:45,942
We know The Creed Brothers will be there.

1331
01:00:46,009 --> 01:00:49,178
As now, it's Julius Creed,
stretch muffler.

1332
01:00:49,245 --> 01:00:51,214
Is Gibson gonna… No.

1333
01:00:51,280 --> 01:00:55,151
Using the rope quickly, is the veteran.

1334
01:00:55,218 --> 01:00:57,053
As savvy as he is,

1335
01:00:57,120 --> 01:01:00,490
some have said the Grizzled Young Veterans
have lost their edge.

1336
01:01:00,556 --> 01:01:03,660
[Wade] Listen, I am a big fan
of the Grizzled Young Veterans,

1337
01:01:03,726 --> 01:01:06,129
I will sing their praises,
but even I have to admit…

1338
01:01:06,195 --> 01:01:07,196
[Vic] Tag.

1339
01:01:07,263 --> 01:01:09,032
[Wade] …We haven't seen them
win in a while

1340
01:01:09,098 --> 01:01:14,370
and what better way to end that
than a victory over The Creed Brothers.

1341
01:01:14,437 --> 01:01:16,839
They've been stuck in neutral
for too long.

1342
01:01:16,906 --> 01:01:20,710
GYV are simply too good
to not get over the hump.

1343
01:01:22,011 --> 01:01:25,348
[Vic] Well, turning this match up
quickly, James Drake and--

1344
01:01:25,415 --> 01:01:27,984
[crowd chants, "You still suck"]

1345
01:01:28,985 --> 01:01:31,854
[Vic] You can hear how the NXT Universe
feels about Grizzled Young Veterans.

1346
01:01:31,921 --> 01:01:34,791
Malcolm Bivens, not really a fan either.

1347
01:01:34,857 --> 01:01:38,661
Now, Julius Creed, he's fired up,
he's ready to swing on both superstars.

1348
01:01:38,728 --> 01:01:42,298
And Julius Creed taking out
Grizzled Young Veterans by himself.

1349
01:01:42,365 --> 01:01:43,499
[Wade] Turning this into a handicap match.

1350
01:01:43,566 --> 01:01:44,434
[Vic] Oh!

1351
01:01:44,500 --> 01:01:47,303
[Wade] They made Julius Creed
out of something different,

1352
01:01:47,370 --> 01:01:52,408
but that blast with the forearm
from James Drake, poleaxe him.

1353
01:01:52,475 --> 01:01:53,543
[Vic] You know, you can talk about

1354
01:01:53,609 --> 01:01:56,245
the Grizzled Young Veterans
focused on gold, focused on winning,

1355
01:01:56,312 --> 01:02:00,083
but what do you make of James Drake's
exotic pool photo shoots

1356
01:02:00,149 --> 01:02:01,484
as of late on Instagram?

1357
01:02:01,551 --> 01:02:06,089
[Wade] Well, listen, what a superstar
does in his own time--

1358
01:02:06,155 --> 01:02:07,290
[Vic] Caught your tongue
on that one, didn't I?

1359
01:02:07,356 --> 01:02:11,027
[Wade] None of my business.
I focus on the in-ring action.

1360
01:02:11,094 --> 01:02:14,030
If he wants to do exotic pool photo shoots,
that's up to him.

1361
01:02:14,097 --> 01:02:16,799
You're just jealous because you don't have
the physique for it, Vicky Jo.

1362
01:02:16,866 --> 01:02:20,470
[Vic] James Drake exotic right now,
tagging back in Zack Gibson.

1363
01:02:20,536 --> 01:02:22,305
And look, all joking aside,

1364
01:02:22,371 --> 01:02:27,176
Grizzled Young Veterans right now
have really taken control of this match up.

1365
01:02:27,243 --> 01:02:29,445
-[Wade] Yeah, this has been…
-We told you.

1366
01:02:29,512 --> 01:02:31,147
[Wade] …a superb--

1367
01:02:31,214 --> 01:02:33,449
…dusty classic should have been us.

1368
01:02:33,516 --> 01:02:36,586
Dusty classic should have been us.

1369
01:02:36,652 --> 01:02:39,222
Stand & Deliver should have been us.

1370
01:02:39,288 --> 01:02:41,424
[Wade] "Should have been us,"
you heard the man.

1371
01:02:41,491 --> 01:02:42,658
[Vic] It should have been, but it's not.

1372
01:02:42,725 --> 01:02:43,726
[Wade] It might not be.

1373
01:02:43,793 --> 01:02:45,528
Show them now what we came here to do.

1374
01:02:45,595 --> 01:02:47,063
All right. All right.

1375
01:02:47,130 --> 01:02:48,531
-We didn't come here to piss about.
-All right.

1376
01:02:48,598 --> 01:02:50,399
[Vic] We're talking about
the Creed Brothers being fired up,

1377
01:02:50,466 --> 01:02:52,468
really it's the Grizzled Young Veterans

1378
01:02:52,535 --> 01:02:55,404
who have a little extra pep
in their step here tonight.

1379
01:02:55,471 --> 01:02:56,672
[Wade] Of course.

1380
01:02:56,739 --> 01:02:58,741
-Perhaps going for that doomsday device.
-[Vic] Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

1381
01:02:58,808 --> 01:03:02,078
But no, denied by the wherewithal
of Julius Creed.

1382
01:03:02,145 --> 01:03:04,046
[Vic] Whoa, wait a minute.

1383
01:03:04,113 --> 01:03:06,315
[Wade] Tweaking the left knee now
is James Drake,

1384
01:03:06,382 --> 01:03:09,485
and like a magnet drawn to that.

1385
01:03:09,552 --> 01:03:12,421
[Vic] And Creed realizing,
and that being Julius,

1386
01:03:12,488 --> 01:03:14,423
passing Drake over to Brutus,

1387
01:03:14,490 --> 01:03:19,328
who plants James Drake,
much to the smile of Ivy Nile,

1388
01:03:19,395 --> 01:03:22,865
much to the smile of Malcolm Bivens!

1389
01:03:22,932 --> 01:03:24,433
Brutus…

1390
01:03:24,500 --> 01:03:26,102
[man] One, two, three.

1391
01:03:26,169 --> 01:03:28,738
[Vic] …silences
the Grizzled Young Veterans.

01:03:32,074 --> 01:03:34,477
The Creed Brothers!

1395
01:03:34,544 --> 01:03:38,314
[Wade] It can simply be that quick
and that simple for The Creeds.

1396
01:03:38,381 --> 01:03:42,251
Such brutality, such strength.

1397
01:03:42,318 --> 01:03:45,721
When they hit top gear
they might be unstoppable,

1398
01:03:45,788 --> 01:03:48,057
and that does not bode well for Imperium

1399
01:03:48,124 --> 01:03:50,726
and MSK at Stand & Deliver.

1400
01:03:50,793 --> 01:03:53,529
[Vic] We talk about Bron Breakker
picking up momentum

1401
01:03:53,596 --> 01:03:57,900
as he gets closer
to his championship match up in Dallas.

1402
01:03:57,967 --> 01:04:01,003
Same can be said for The Creed Brothers.

1403
01:04:01,070 --> 01:04:02,672
Wait a minute. What the?

1404
01:04:21,090 --> 01:04:23,125
[yelling]

1405
01:04:37,340 --> 01:04:39,976

[Vic] The Ring General on his way out

1408
01:04:53,656 --> 01:04:56,325
to face Duke Hudson next on NXT.

1409
01:04:59,495 --> 01:05:00,863

["Symphony No. 9 in E Minor
(Imperium)" plays]

1414
01:05:31,294 --> 01:05:34,964
[Vic] As we see the NXT Champions,
Imperium, looking on.

1415
01:05:35,031 --> 01:05:38,067
Certainly they just very closely
watched the match

1416
01:05:38,134 --> 01:05:39,735
featuring The Creed Brothers.

1417
01:05:39,802 --> 01:05:41,470
[Wade] No doubt about that.

1418
01:05:41,537 --> 01:05:43,673
Huge upcoming triple-threat match for them

1419
01:05:43,739 --> 01:05:46,075
at Stand & Deliver
for those tag championships.

1420
01:05:46,142 --> 01:05:47,977
I got to say it feels great
to be surrounded

1421
01:05:48,044 --> 01:05:49,845
by European excellence at ringside.

1422
01:05:49,912 --> 01:05:51,580
Well, you're always surrounded

1423
01:05:51,647 --> 01:05:53,783
by European excellence,
aren't you, Vic Joseph?

1424
01:05:53,849 --> 01:05:55,284
[Vic] All right. Anyways,
back in this match up here.

1425
01:05:55,351 --> 01:05:58,521
Look, it was a simple drawing
from Dexter Lumis

1426
01:05:58,587 --> 01:06:00,256
that led to this match up tonight.

1427
01:06:00,323 --> 01:06:01,724
[Wade] Yeah, let's… Let's face facts.

1428
01:06:01,791 --> 01:06:03,092
Listen, Gunther--

1429
01:06:03,159 --> 01:06:04,961
[Vic] Let's face facts,
that was a great drawing.

1430
01:06:05,027 --> 01:06:06,295
[Wade] Gunther hates silliness.

1431
01:06:06,362 --> 01:06:09,498
This match was made
off the back of a Dexter Lumis cartoon.

1432
01:06:09,565 --> 01:06:11,901
If anyone deserves a beating from Gunther,

1433
01:06:11,968 --> 01:06:15,805
it's that fruitcake Dexter Lumis,
not poor Duke Hudson.

1434
01:06:15,871 --> 01:06:18,307
[Vic] Well, for Duke Hudson,
I don't think lip-locks

1435
01:06:18,374 --> 01:06:19,709
are really gonna help him here tonight.

1436
01:06:19,775 --> 01:06:22,545
[Wade] Yes, let's face it,
it would certainly catch…

1437
01:06:22,611 --> 01:06:23,612
[Vic] Whoa!

1438
01:06:23,679 --> 01:06:26,682
[Wade] …Gunther by surprise
if he hit him with a lip-lock,

1439
01:06:26,749 --> 01:06:28,751
but a smooch would
probably just anger the General

1440
01:06:28,818 --> 01:06:30,319
because the mat is sacred

1441
01:06:30,386 --> 01:06:33,589
and I would assume
so are the lips of Gunther.

1442
01:06:33,656 --> 01:06:35,424
[Vic] Well, we see Persia Pirotta
a few times

1443
01:06:35,491 --> 01:06:39,362
on the outside trying her best to,
you know, support her man,

1444
01:06:39,795 --> 01:06:42,498
and look, Persia Pirotta
might be the only one that thinks

1445
01:06:42,565 --> 01:06:44,767
Duke Hudson can win. Let's just be honest.

1446
01:06:44,834 --> 01:06:47,370
[Wade] Well, listen, I wouldn't
put anybody as a favorite.

1447
01:06:47,436 --> 01:06:48,804
Anybody in NXT,

1448
01:06:49,238 --> 01:06:51,006
I would not put as a favorite
against Gunther,

1449
01:06:51,073 --> 01:06:53,275
but what this match
is illustrating right now

1450
01:06:53,342 --> 01:06:55,544
is the physical presence of Duke…

1451
01:06:55,611 --> 01:06:57,179
[Vic] Oh, no.

1452
01:06:57,246 --> 01:07:02,485
[Wade] …Hudson, but he gets chopped down
just like everybody else.

1453
01:07:03,552 --> 01:07:05,254
[Vic] Hey, when it comes
to the Ring General,

1454
01:07:05,321 --> 01:07:09,525
he is not interested in TMZ,
he is not interested in social media,

1455
01:07:09,592 --> 01:07:12,528
he is not interested
in 10 million TikTok views,

1456
01:07:12,595 --> 01:07:15,331
but that last chop, put this…

1457
01:07:15,398 --> 01:07:16,799
Ooh!

1458
01:07:16,866 --> 01:07:18,768
On TikTok, you might get 10 million views.

1459
01:07:18,834 --> 01:07:21,370
[Wade] So rare that the "General," Gunther

1460
01:07:21,437 --> 01:07:24,173
is matched in size with an opponent.

1461
01:07:24,607 --> 01:07:25,908
Perhaps he is today,

1462
01:07:25,975 --> 01:07:30,980
getting a beat down for his troubles now
is poor Duke Hudson.

1463
01:07:31,047 --> 01:07:33,482
[Vic] Wade, even matching the size,

1464
01:07:33,549 --> 01:07:37,386
one chop from Gunther leveled…

1465
01:07:37,453 --> 01:07:39,655
-Oh!
-[Wade] Oh!

1466
01:07:39,722 --> 01:07:41,257
-[Vic] …Duke Hudson.
-[Wade] I've had enough.

1467
01:07:41,323 --> 01:07:42,892
I want to tap out. Give me a towel.

1468
01:07:53,869 --> 01:07:57,239
[Vic] Look at the welts
forming on the chest of Hudson.

1469
01:07:57,306 --> 01:08:00,042
[crowd chants, "Holy shit!"]

1470
01:08:01,644 --> 01:08:04,513
[Vic] And now, it could be
a matter of time,

1471
01:08:04,580 --> 01:08:07,249
as Hudson's chest begins to welt.

1472
01:08:07,316 --> 01:08:09,485
Look at the beet-redness for…

1473
01:08:09,552 --> 01:08:11,220
And Hudson trying his best right now to…

1474
01:08:11,287 --> 01:08:12,855
I can't get over what we just--

1475
01:08:12,922 --> 01:08:17,093
[Wade] Listen, the universe said
it better than either of us can right now.

1476
01:08:17,159 --> 01:08:21,030
Poor Duke Hudson,
his chest tenderized in there.

1477
01:08:21,096 --> 01:08:22,665
[Vic] Ooh! Oh, wow!

1478
01:08:22,731 --> 01:08:25,201
[Wade] But hats off to the Duke
for keeping this one going.

1479
01:08:25,267 --> 01:08:29,205
We're learning a lot about Duke Hudson's
intestinal fortitude right now.

1480
01:08:29,271 --> 01:08:30,906
[Vic] Talk about keeping
his composure. Yeah.

1481
01:08:30,973 --> 01:08:35,010
I may not like Duke Hudson,
but hey, hats off.

1482
01:08:35,077 --> 01:08:38,280
-Oh! Oh!
-[Wade] Oh, no. No.

1483
01:08:38,347 --> 01:08:41,784
That is one attack you don't want
to put in against the General.

1484
01:08:43,319 --> 01:08:48,891
[Vic] Look at NXT universe
on their feet as Gunther

1485
01:08:48,958 --> 01:08:51,660
just right now manhandling Duke Hudson.

1486
01:08:51,727 --> 01:08:54,130
[Wade] We are getting a war
in there tonight.

1487
01:08:55,831 --> 01:08:58,300
[Vic] Oh! Wow!

1488
01:08:58,367 --> 01:09:01,637
Hudson off the German Suplex,
into the cover, hook of the leg,

1489
01:09:01,704 --> 01:09:03,439
and Gunther able to kick out.

1490
01:09:03,506 --> 01:09:06,008
But I mean, how impressed
are you with Duke Hudson?

1491
01:09:06,075 --> 01:09:08,844
[Wade] Duke Hudson
almost shocking the world there.

1492
01:09:08,911 --> 01:09:10,079
Listen, I've been impressed--

1493
01:09:10,145 --> 01:09:11,280
[Vic] Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.

1494
01:09:11,347 --> 01:09:12,414
[Wade] …with Duke Hudson for months,

1495
01:09:12,481 --> 01:09:14,083
but if he pulls off this victory tonight.

1496
01:09:15,417 --> 01:09:16,452
[Vic] Oh!

1497
01:09:16,519 --> 01:09:18,254
[Wade] Easier said than done.

1498
01:09:19,421 --> 01:09:21,957
[Vic] Well, Gunther
looking over at Persia Pirotta,

1499
01:09:22,024 --> 01:09:23,659
said, "This one's for you."

1500
01:09:25,227 --> 01:09:28,230
[crowd groaning]

1501
01:09:29,732 --> 01:09:33,669
Oh. Might have delivered
one for Dexter Lumis as well.

1502
01:09:33,736 --> 01:09:39,108
And now turning around,
and up goes Hudson, down goes Hudson.

1503
01:09:40,309 --> 01:09:41,544
[crowd counts]

1504
01:09:41,610 --> 01:09:43,546
[Vic] Gunther with a statement
made tonight.

1505
01:09:43,612 --> 01:09:44,914
[bell rings]

1506
01:09:44,980 --> 01:09:46,682
["Symphony No. 9 in E Minor
(Imperium)" plays]

1507
01:09:46,749 --> 01:09:50,185
[Alicia] Here is your winner, Gunther!

1508
01:09:50,252 --> 01:09:54,957
[Wade] That was a horror show
for Perisa Pirotta.

1509
01:09:55,024 --> 01:09:55,891
[Vic] Oh, my.

1510
01:09:55,958 --> 01:09:58,661
[Wade] The chest of Duke Hudson
is drawn blood.

1511
01:09:58,727 --> 01:10:00,362
[Vic] Indi Hartwell liked what she saw.

1512
01:10:00,429 --> 01:10:02,831
She gave the ole thumbs up for the chops.

1513
01:10:02,898 --> 01:10:05,634
[Wade] She's as sick in the head
as Dexter Lumis that's why.

1514
01:10:09,638 --> 01:10:11,540
[Vic] And just look.

1515
01:10:11,607 --> 01:10:15,678
Boom! And look at the impact,
but now, now listen.

1516
01:10:15,744 --> 01:10:16,946
Listen.

1517
01:10:22,151 --> 01:10:23,886
[Wade] It should be illegal.

1518
01:10:23,953 --> 01:10:26,255
[Vic] It made you cringe, but in the end,

1519
01:10:26,322 --> 01:10:30,426
it was the Ring General
standing tall here tonight.

1520
01:10:32,228 --> 01:10:37,967
I am the most
dominant competitor in NXT…

1521
01:10:39,635 --> 01:10:44,506
but still, I have been overlooked

1522
01:10:44,573 --> 01:10:47,209
and it's an absolute disgrace

1523
01:10:47,610 --> 01:10:51,547
that somebody like LA Knight
can talk himself--

1524
01:10:51,614 --> 01:10:52,982
["Welcome To LA" plays]

1525
01:10:53,048 --> 01:10:56,051
[crowd cheers]

1526
01:10:59,688 --> 01:11:02,625
[Vic] Oh. Apparently,
the Megastar heard enough.

1527
01:11:02,691 --> 01:11:04,693
I don't think I just heard that right.

1528
01:11:04,760 --> 01:11:06,829
[Wade] You just saw
what happened to Duke Hudson.

1529
01:11:06,895 --> 01:11:08,764
[crowd chants "LA Knight"]

1530
01:11:08,831 --> 01:11:11,700
[Wade] Why would you want
to get in the ring with Gunther?

1531
01:11:27,049 --> 01:11:28,183
Let me talk to you.

1532
01:11:28,250 --> 01:11:29,184
You shut up.

1533
01:11:30,653 --> 01:11:33,389
I talk you listen.

1534
01:11:33,455 --> 01:11:39,395
You represent everything
that is wrong in this sport today,

1535
01:11:39,461 --> 01:11:44,033
lots of talking, very little skill.

1536
01:11:44,099 --> 01:11:46,268
You can talk yourself
into championship matches,

1537
01:11:46,335 --> 01:11:50,406
but you do not have
what it takes to win them.

1538
01:11:50,472 --> 01:11:53,442
Your mouth gets you in those matches,

1539
01:11:53,509 --> 01:11:55,878
but it doesn't win them for you.

1540
01:11:59,348 --> 01:12:02,017
Listen to me very carefully.

1541
01:12:04,286 --> 01:12:07,022
You ever interrupt me one more time

1542
01:12:07,089 --> 01:12:09,591
I will knock your blockhead
off your dad bod,

1543
01:12:09,658 --> 01:12:10,893
you dumb son of a bitch.

1544
01:12:12,961 --> 01:12:15,597
I'll put it to you like this,

1545
01:12:15,664 --> 01:12:17,933
Stand & Deliver's right around the corner.

1546
01:12:19,601 --> 01:12:23,372
I was gonna use my words
to set up a match,

1547
01:12:23,439 --> 01:12:25,374
but since you don't like me using my words

1548
01:12:25,441 --> 01:12:27,376
I figure I'll try a different route.

1549
01:12:27,443 --> 01:12:30,145
-[Wade] Whoa, no.
-[Vic] Oh.

1550
01:12:32,514 --> 01:12:33,549
Hey, hey.

1551
01:12:33,982 --> 01:12:36,285
And you mentioned it, Barrett,
maybe not the wisest decision from LA--

1552
01:12:36,352 --> 01:12:37,486
-["Swarm" plays]
-[Wade] This is inevitable.

1553
01:12:37,553 --> 01:12:39,588
-[Vic] Whoa!
-[Wade] It's… Oh!

1554
01:12:39,655 --> 01:12:41,690
[Vic] MSK!

1555
01:12:41,757 --> 01:12:43,492
MSK evening the odds.

1556
01:12:43,559 --> 01:12:45,561
[Wade] The hell
has this got to do with MSK?

1557
01:12:45,627 --> 01:12:48,530
[Vic] MSK, they got a date
with Imperium at Stand & Deliver

1558
01:12:48,597 --> 01:12:49,865
along with The Creed Brothers,

1559
01:12:49,932 --> 01:12:52,835
triple-threat
for the NXT Tag Team Championships.

1560
01:12:53,836 --> 01:12:55,037
Oh!

1561
01:12:57,639 --> 01:13:01,009
And now it's only
the Ring General standing.

1562
01:13:01,076 --> 01:13:02,144
Whoa!

1563
01:13:02,211 --> 01:13:03,445
[crowd cheers]

1564
01:13:03,512 --> 01:13:04,680
[Wade] Took a triple whammy,

1565
01:13:04,747 --> 01:13:06,949
but even he goes down in the end.

1566
01:13:07,015 --> 01:13:09,551
[Vic] Standing no more is Gunther.

1567
01:13:11,987 --> 01:13:16,225
And to answer your question,
it's LA Knight who wants Gunther

1568
01:13:16,291 --> 01:13:22,030
at Stand & Deliver a week from Saturday,
WrestleMania weekend.

1569
01:13:22,097 --> 01:13:23,265
["Welcome To LA" plays]

1570
01:13:23,332 --> 01:13:27,836
[Knight] Yeah, I'll come find ya
[indistinct] three on one.

1571
01:13:32,875 --> 01:13:33,942
[Vic] Phantom driver.

1572
01:13:34,910 --> 01:13:36,011
Grimes got caught.

1573
01:13:36,078 --> 01:13:37,179
[bell rings]

1574
01:13:37,246 --> 01:13:39,882
[Vic] Escobar headed to Stand & Deliver.

1575
01:13:41,617 --> 01:13:43,919
[Cameron] Everyone knows that
I always wear my heart on my sleeve.

1576
01:13:45,020 --> 01:13:48,624
Last week I was frustrated
and I was emotional.

1577
01:13:48,690 --> 01:13:52,461
I told my father
the very last thing I got to tell him

1578
01:13:52,528 --> 01:13:57,065
was that I signed to NXT
and that I was going to be a champion,

1579
01:13:57,132 --> 01:14:01,236
but here we are three years later
and all I keep doing is disappointing.

1580
01:14:02,337 --> 01:14:05,641
You see, my father was my hero,
he was my best friend.

1581
01:14:07,109 --> 01:14:09,411
He lived and breathed
this business so much

1582
01:14:09,478 --> 01:14:11,947
that I was in the ring
when I was wearing diapers.

1583
01:14:13,382 --> 01:14:16,852
So, when I got signed to NXT it was huge,

1584
01:14:16,919 --> 01:14:20,889
but very shortly after my father passed.

1585
01:14:27,463 --> 01:14:31,667
That is why next week
it is the biggest match of my career.

1586
01:14:31,733 --> 01:14:35,237
My final chance at the final spark

1587
01:14:35,304 --> 01:14:38,941
in the North American Championship
ladder match at Stand & Deliver.

1588
01:14:39,007 --> 01:14:44,313
It is my opportunity to make good
on that promise that I made to my father.

1589
01:14:45,881 --> 01:14:47,282
My father told me

1590
01:14:47,349 --> 01:14:49,885
that there are three types of people
in this world,

1591
01:14:49,952 --> 01:14:53,755
someone that just gets by,
someone that tries their hardest,

1592
01:14:53,822 --> 01:14:55,991
and someone that would do
whatever it takes.

1593
01:14:56,959 --> 01:15:01,730
Next week,
Cameron Grimes does whatever it takes.

1594
01:15:05,234 --> 01:15:06,401
["Snack Time" plays]

1595
01:15:06,468 --> 01:15:09,338
[Wade] Emotional Cameron Grimes
gets his last chance

1596
01:15:09,404 --> 01:15:13,475
to qualify for Dallas
right here next week.

1597
01:15:17,813 --> 01:15:21,617
[Vic] But it is main event
time here on NXT.

1598
01:15:21,683 --> 01:15:26,355
And who will etch their name
on the prestigious Dusty Cup?

1599
01:15:26,421 --> 01:15:28,924
Earlier tonight we heard Wendy Choo

1600
01:15:28,991 --> 01:15:33,395
say her best friend Dakota Kai.

1601
01:15:33,462 --> 01:15:36,765
Kai said she will
be the first woman or man

1602
01:15:36,832 --> 01:15:39,501
to etch her name on the trophy twice.

1603
01:15:39,568 --> 01:15:42,704
Up next it's the finals
of the Women's Dusty Cup.

1604
01:15:43,572 --> 01:15:45,007
[Wendy] No, no, no.

1605
01:15:47,509 --> 01:15:48,577
[Wade] Oh, wow.

1606
01:15:48,644 --> 01:15:50,479
This match up has just been
made official by…

1607
01:15:50,545 --> 01:15:52,347
[Vic] Oh-ho-ho-ho.

1608
01:15:52,414 --> 01:15:53,715
[Wade] …NXT management.

1609
01:15:53,782 --> 01:15:55,651
We saw the confrontation moments ago.

1610
01:15:55,717 --> 01:15:59,588
Well, at Stand & Deliver,
"The Megastar," LA Knight

1611
01:15:59,655 --> 01:16:02,858
goes one-on-one
with the "General," Gunther.

1612

[Vic] Right, again, it is main event time
for the prestigious Dusty Cup.

1616

The finals of the Women's
Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic.

1617
01:16:22,210 --> 01:16:28,684
Well, you see Kay Lee Ray looking
at Toxic Attraction, the Toxic Lounge.

1618
01:16:28,750 --> 01:16:30,419
[Wade] Can we switch places, Vic?

1619
01:16:31,353 --> 01:16:34,289
[Vic] Anyways, moving on,
thinking about Stand & Deliver,

1620
01:16:34,356 --> 01:16:36,224
it it is Mandy Rose who will defend

1621
01:16:36,291 --> 01:16:39,361
her NXT Women's Title against Cora Jade.

1622
01:16:39,428 --> 01:16:40,929
What a match up this will be.

1623
01:16:40,996 --> 01:16:43,665
Cora Jade, you said it earlier,
got what she wanted

1624
01:16:43,732 --> 01:16:47,803
after what she did last week
to Toxic Attraction.

1625
01:16:47,869 --> 01:16:49,371
[Wade] What?
Let me switch places with you.

1626
01:16:49,438 --> 01:16:50,672
-[bell rings]
-[Wade] I wanna speak to Mandy Rose.

1627
01:16:50,739 --> 01:16:52,240
[Alicia] The following is the final match

1628
01:16:52,307 --> 01:16:55,811
in the Women's
Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic!

1629
01:16:57,346 --> 01:17:03,919

of Wendy Choo and Dakota Kai!

1631
01:17:07,089 --> 01:17:08,690
[Alicia] Their opponents,

1632
01:17:08,757 --> 01:17:12,127
the team of Kay Lee Ray

1633
01:17:12,194 --> 01:17:17,833
and Io Shirai!

1634
01:17:17,899 --> 01:17:20,202
[crowd cheers]

1635
01:17:20,268 --> 01:17:25,574
[Vic] Who will win the Women's
Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic.

1636
01:17:25,641 --> 01:17:26,875
It is the finals.

1637
01:17:26,942 --> 01:17:28,477
We have been waiting for this showdown.

1638
01:17:28,543 --> 01:17:29,878
-Ring the bell.
-[bell rings]

1639
01:17:29,945 --> 01:17:31,380
[Vic] One team
will etch their name in history.

1640
01:17:31,446 --> 01:17:33,949
One team will earn themselves
an opportunity

1641
01:17:34,016 --> 01:17:36,418
at the NXT Women's Tag Team Titles.

1642
01:17:36,485 --> 01:17:39,321
Look, you've already asked twice,
the answer is no.

1643
01:17:39,388 --> 01:17:41,456
I have it on good authority
that Toxic Attraction

1644
01:17:41,523 --> 01:17:44,159
asked to be as far away from you
as possible.

1645
01:17:44,226 --> 01:17:46,128
[Wade] Oh! Absolute codswallop.

1646
01:17:46,194 --> 01:17:47,896
What a hater you are, Vic Joseph?

1647
01:17:47,963 --> 01:17:50,699
[Vic] Not a hater. You're just sad boy
Barrett tonight again.

1648
01:17:50,766 --> 01:17:52,868
[Wade] Sad boy Barrett, come off it.
I'm pimping not simping.

1649
01:17:52,934 --> 01:17:54,002
[Vic] Oh my gosh.

1650
01:17:54,069 --> 01:17:57,472
Anyway, back to the action
of this main event match up.

1651
01:17:57,539 --> 01:18:00,876
Many questions have surrounded
Kay Lee Ray and Io Shirai.

1652
01:18:00,942 --> 01:18:04,212
If this team had what it took
to make it to the finals,

1653
01:18:04,279 --> 01:18:05,714
the obvious answer is yes.

1654
01:18:06,148 --> 01:18:07,516
[Wade] Well, the keyword
you mentioned there is team

1655
01:18:07,582 --> 01:18:10,752
because the talent individually
of Io Shirai.

1656
01:18:10,819 --> 01:18:12,421
[Vic] Whoa. Cover, cover, cover to win

1657
01:18:12,487 --> 01:18:14,556
the Women's Dusty, and a kick out by Choo.

1658
01:18:14,623 --> 01:18:17,693
[Wade] The talent of Kay Lee Ray
individually never in doubt.

1659
01:18:17,759 --> 01:18:21,463
Both champions, of course,
Kay Lee Ray over in NXT UK.

1660
01:18:21,530 --> 01:18:23,265
The forever champion, of course,

1661
01:18:23,331 --> 01:18:27,569
the genius of the Sky here in NXT,
former NXT Women's Champion.

1662
01:18:27,636 --> 01:18:31,673
The question was are they two individuals
or can they form a team?

1663
01:18:31,740 --> 01:18:34,042
I'm still… I'm still in doubt
about that.

1664
01:18:34,109 --> 01:18:36,611
I don't know if they've shown
enough cohesion

1665
01:18:36,678 --> 01:18:38,780
to be a great team,
but their individual…

1666
01:18:38,847 --> 01:18:40,715
[Vic] Whoa. Cover, count.

1667
01:18:40,782 --> 01:18:42,918
Some innovative offense from Wendy Choo.

1668
01:18:42,984 --> 01:18:46,088
[Wade] …brilliance is what has got them
through thus far.

1669
01:18:46,154 --> 01:18:48,090
[Vic] Ooh! And the tag was made,
in comes Dakota Kai.

1670
01:18:48,156 --> 01:18:50,492
And look, if you include
all the men's tournaments,

1671
01:18:50,559 --> 01:18:55,831
I mean, Wade, this has to be considered
the most unpredictable Dusty Cup yet.

1672
01:18:55,897 --> 01:18:57,733
[Wade] I have to agree with you on that.

1673
01:18:57,799 --> 01:19:00,268
Listen, my pick from the beginning
was Indi and Persia.

1674
01:19:00,335 --> 01:19:02,571
They were eliminated in the first round.

1675
01:19:02,637 --> 01:19:04,673
[Vic] Into the cover for Kai
to make history,

1676
01:19:04,740 --> 01:19:06,141
and a kick out by Kay Lee Ray.

1677
01:19:06,208 --> 01:19:08,043
[Wade] I think I should
get a little credit

1678
01:19:08,110 --> 01:19:11,012
because now Persia and Indi,
well, they are the talk

1679
01:19:11,079 --> 01:19:13,949
of the world after the smooches
we saw last week.

1680
01:19:14,015 --> 01:19:16,084
[Vic] That's not how it works.
You were wrong.

1681
01:19:16,151 --> 01:19:17,319
Your prediction was wrong.

1682
01:19:17,786 --> 01:19:20,589
As Dakota Kai into another cover,
and another kick out.

1683
01:19:20,655 --> 01:19:21,790
[Wade] You know what else I predicted?

1684
01:19:21,857 --> 01:19:25,994
I predicted that Raquel and Cora
would win in their semi-final.

1685
01:19:26,061 --> 01:19:27,863
-Cora, however, does have a…
-[Vic] Tag.

1686
01:19:27,929 --> 01:19:30,565
[Wade] …championship match
at Stand & Deliver…

1687
01:19:30,632 --> 01:19:31,767
[Vic] Oh!

1688
01:19:31,833 --> 01:19:33,969
[Wade] …against Mandy Rose,
so technically I'm two for two.

1689
01:19:34,035 --> 01:19:35,904
[Vic] Whoa!

1690
01:19:35,971 --> 01:19:37,806
Well, Wendy Choo again.

1691
01:19:40,876 --> 01:19:42,878
Oh, heads up by Choo and then Choo,

1692
01:19:42,944 --> 01:19:46,515
well, she just got neutralized
by Io Shirai.

1693
01:19:46,581 --> 01:19:48,116
Barrett, I still don't think
you understand

1694
01:19:48,183 --> 01:19:49,484
how making predictions work.

1695
01:19:49,551 --> 01:19:52,053
You're technically 0 for 2.
You're not two for two.

1696
01:19:52,120 --> 01:19:54,523
[Wade] Well, there you go again
being a hater, Vic Joseph.

1697
01:19:54,589 --> 01:19:56,024
[Vic] Oh, anyways. And Kai--

1698
01:19:56,091 --> 01:19:57,292
[Wade] Whoa!

1699
01:19:57,359 --> 01:19:58,927
-[Vic] Well, right here in front of us.
-[Wade] Nasty landing.

1700
01:19:58,994 --> 01:20:00,629
[Vic] Really, Io Shirai and Kay Lee Ray,

1701
01:20:00,695 --> 01:20:03,865
they have been in control of this match up.

1702
01:20:03,932 --> 01:20:05,467
[Wade] Dakota Kai
could've done with landing

1703
01:20:05,534 --> 01:20:07,836
on that pillow of Wendy Choo's.

1704
01:20:09,070 --> 01:20:12,240
[Vic] Well, we questioned
the teamwork throughout the tournament,

1705
01:20:12,307 --> 01:20:14,743
but the team looks
pretty devastating right now.

1706
01:20:14,809 --> 01:20:17,279
[Wade] Like a missile through the rope.

1707
01:20:17,345 --> 01:20:19,047
-[Vic] Oh, whoa, whoa, whoa.
-[Wade] Bam! Oh!

1708
01:20:19,114 --> 01:20:20,982
[Vic] Hard landing for Kai.

1709
01:20:22,350 --> 01:20:24,953
Kay Lee Ray and Io Shirai in control.

1710
01:20:25,020 --> 01:20:27,389
Toxic Attraction,
well, they look concerned.

1711
01:20:27,455 --> 01:20:31,226
Are we looking at the next Women's
Dusty Cup Champions?

1712
01:20:35,864 --> 01:20:37,199
We're back on NXT.

1713
01:20:37,265 --> 01:20:40,268
This the finals of the Women's
Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic.

1714
01:20:40,335 --> 01:20:42,904
Wendy Choo trying to turn things
around for her team

1715
01:20:42,971 --> 01:20:47,442
as Dakota Kai was just able to do
in the final moments of that picture…

1716
01:20:47,509 --> 01:20:48,977
Picture commercial break.

1717
01:20:50,579 --> 01:20:52,848
And Wendy Choo right now
hitting on all cylinders,

1718
01:20:52,914 --> 01:20:55,650
and look, everyone in NXT,
they're feeling it right now.

1719
01:20:55,717 --> 01:20:58,753
They all want to be part
of Stand & Deliver.

1720
01:20:58,820 --> 01:21:00,922
[Wade] Nap time elbow drop there.

1721
01:21:00,989 --> 01:21:04,359
[Vic] Into the cover to win
the Dusty Cup, and a kick out.

1722
01:21:04,426 --> 01:21:06,094
[Wade] You ain't wrong
about Stand & Deliver.

1723
01:21:06,161 --> 01:21:07,262
Let me tell you this.

1724
01:21:07,329 --> 01:21:10,232
For old superstars,
those are the moments you'll remember

1725
01:21:10,298 --> 01:21:12,267
when you are long retired.

1726
01:21:12,334 --> 01:21:14,803
It's like the Super Bowl,
it's like the world cup.

1727
01:21:14,870 --> 01:21:16,905
People always come up to me and ask me,

1728
01:21:16,972 --> 01:21:19,741
"What did you do at WrestleMania weekend?"

1729
01:21:19,808 --> 01:21:21,243
-Simply, it doesn't get--
-[Vic] Whoa, whoa, whoa.

1730
01:21:21,309 --> 01:21:23,678
Choo from behind again to win
the Women's Dusty, and a kick out.

1731
01:21:24,880 --> 01:21:27,115
Well, someone on the outside
looking in at WrestleMania

1732
01:21:27,182 --> 01:21:29,184
is Seth "Freakin" Rollins,

1733
01:21:29,251 --> 01:21:31,586
but right now,
it's Wendy Choo and Dakota Kai

1734
01:21:31,653 --> 01:21:34,756
who could be closing in
at looking at themselves

1735
01:21:34,823 --> 01:21:37,859
as the winners
of this year's Women's Dusty Cup.

1736
01:21:37,926 --> 01:21:39,628
[Wade] Dusty Cup on the line,

1737
01:21:39,694 --> 01:21:42,931
but, of course, an opportunity
at the Women's Tag Champions

1738
01:21:42,998 --> 01:21:45,667
comes with it, that being Toxic Attraction

1739
01:21:45,734 --> 01:21:48,837
watching on with interest at ringside.

1740
01:21:48,904 --> 01:21:52,674
[Vic] And right here
to our left is Io Shirai.

1741
01:21:52,741 --> 01:21:55,543
Just got sent towards them,
but back to the ring.

1742
01:21:55,610 --> 01:21:58,780
Choo looking for high risk
and there was a lot of reward.

1743
01:21:58,847 --> 01:22:00,582
Dakota Kai quickly into the cover.

1744
01:22:00,649 --> 01:22:03,118
Is this gonna be enough
for the Women's Dusty Cup?

1745
01:22:03,184 --> 01:22:04,886
And another kick out from Kay Lee Ray.

1746
01:22:04,953 --> 01:22:06,588
[Wade] This has to be the moment

1747
01:22:06,655 --> 01:22:09,291
that Dakota Kai and Wendy Choo capitalize.

1748
01:22:09,357 --> 01:22:13,795
Io Shirai down perhaps out.
You have a two-on-one situation.

1749
01:22:13,862 --> 01:22:15,297
Can you make it one?

1750
01:22:15,363 --> 01:22:17,732
[Vic] Whoever Dakota Kai is talking

1751
01:22:17,799 --> 01:22:21,269
to has Dakota Kai believing
she is gonna make history,

1752
01:22:21,336 --> 01:22:23,004
she better listen to that voice

1753
01:22:23,071 --> 01:22:25,907
because she is closing
in on doing just that.

1754
01:22:25,974 --> 01:22:27,175
Hoisting up Kay Lee Ray.

1755
01:22:27,242 --> 01:22:28,910
Kay Lee Ray doing her best to fight.

1756
01:22:28,977 --> 01:22:31,813
[Wade] Dakota Kai could be
the first superstar in history

1757
01:22:31,880 --> 01:22:34,783
to get her name on the Dusty Cup twice.

1758
01:22:34,849 --> 01:22:36,785
That would be a groundbreaking moment.

1759
01:22:36,851 --> 01:22:38,753
Give Dakota Kai her due.

1760
01:22:38,820 --> 01:22:41,923
[Vic] Io Shirai is now legal
and just face-plants Dakota Kai.

1761
01:22:41,990 --> 01:22:48,964
And Shirai looking to add
to her resume of accolades here in NXT.

1762
01:22:49,030 --> 01:22:50,799
[Wade] Genius of the sky
connecting like…

1763
01:22:50,865 --> 01:22:52,033
[Vic] Tag.

1764
01:22:52,100 --> 01:22:53,301
[Wade] …only she can.

1765
01:22:54,502 --> 01:22:58,606
[Vic] And Kay Lee Ray
focused in on Dakota Kai.

1766
01:22:58,673 --> 01:23:01,242
Forever champion wiping out Kai.

1767
01:23:01,309 --> 01:23:04,079
Is this it? Is this the moment?

1768
01:23:04,145 --> 01:23:07,682
Oh, Wendy Choo saving things for her team.

1769
01:23:07,749 --> 01:23:10,986
[Wade] Thankfully with the wherewithal
to break that one up

1770
01:23:11,052 --> 01:23:13,021
as we take another look at the genius

1771
01:23:13,088 --> 01:23:18,827
of the Sky taking a leaf out of the book
of Rey Mysterio, followed up…

1772
01:23:18,893 --> 01:23:19,961
[Vic] Bang.

1773
01:23:20,028 --> 01:23:21,329
[Wade] …forever champion himself.

1774
01:23:21,396 --> 01:23:25,767
Somehow Wendy Choo just
in the Nick of time breaking up that pin.

1775
01:23:25,834 --> 01:23:27,736
[Vic] What a main event this has been.

1776
01:23:27,802 --> 01:23:30,305
What a night this has been here on NXT

1777
01:23:30,372 --> 01:23:33,341
from the beginning as Kay Lee Ray
looking for that KLR bomb.

1778
01:23:33,408 --> 01:23:36,544
Dakota Kai trying to fight,
struggling, able to counter.

1779
01:23:36,611 --> 01:23:38,446
[Wade] Here is the opportunity for Kai.

1780
01:23:38,513 --> 01:23:39,547
-[Vic] Ooh.
-[Wade] That is it.

1781
01:23:39,614 --> 01:23:41,516
[Vic] That's got to be it.

1782
01:23:41,583 --> 01:23:46,287
Kai looking for a little bit extra.

1783
01:23:46,354 --> 01:23:49,924
Kay Lee Ray not moving.
Choo makes the tag.

1784
01:23:49,991 --> 01:23:51,826
-[Wade] Tag team duo.
-[Vic] Double stomp.

1785
01:23:51,893 --> 01:23:53,428
[Wade] The chemistry.

1786
01:23:53,495 --> 01:23:57,032
This is how they qualified
for the final. Is it?

1787
01:23:57,098 --> 01:23:58,533
[Vic] Choo.

1788
01:23:59,667 --> 01:24:02,637
For the Women's Dusty Cup.
Choo into the cover.

1789
01:24:04,572 --> 01:24:05,940
What a moment.

1790
01:24:06,007 --> 01:24:08,476
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Genius of the Sky.

1791
01:24:08,543 --> 01:24:12,414
[Wade] Like a missile
out of nowhere connecting.

1792
01:24:12,480 --> 01:24:15,884
Domino effect and breaking up that pin.

1793
01:24:17,218 --> 01:24:20,221
[crowd chants "This is awesome"]

1794
01:24:22,457 --> 01:24:24,759
[Vic] This indeed is awesome.

1795
01:24:24,826 --> 01:24:28,229
This, the finals of the Women's
Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic.

1796
01:24:28,296 --> 01:24:30,865
This, the main event of NXT and this…

1797
01:24:30,932 --> 01:24:35,370
Oh, moments ago,
Wendy Choo looking to put this match away,

1798
01:24:35,437 --> 01:24:40,175
but presence of mind
from Io Shirai taking to the air

1799
01:24:40,241 --> 01:24:42,644
to save this match up for her team,

1800
01:24:42,710 --> 01:24:47,115
and now Shirai trying to plant
and isolate Dakota Kai.

1801
01:24:47,182 --> 01:24:49,117
[Wade] Assault from Io Shirai

1802
01:24:49,184 --> 01:24:53,488
is why she's championship-caliber,
but it might be academic now.

1803
01:24:53,555 --> 01:24:55,690
Wendy Choo taking full control.

1804
01:24:55,757 --> 01:24:57,225
[Vic] Oh.

1805
01:24:57,292 --> 01:25:01,162
Wendy Choo still feeding off
of on the orange soda,

1806
01:25:01,229 --> 01:25:03,231
but now looking to go through the ride.

1807
01:25:03,298 --> 01:25:04,732
Up on the shoulders.

1808
01:25:04,799 --> 01:25:06,401
Planted. KLR bomb.

1809
01:25:06,468 --> 01:25:09,304
Tag. Here comes Io Shirai.

1810
01:25:09,370 --> 01:25:14,008
As we've seen in the past,
Shirai looking to fly.

1811
01:25:14,075 --> 01:25:16,811
[Wade] Dakota Kai down and it's connected.

1812
01:25:18,480 --> 01:25:19,781
[Vic] Cover.

1813
01:25:19,848 --> 01:25:21,282
[crowd counts]

1814
01:25:21,349 --> 01:25:24,385
[Vic] Shirai, Kay Lee Ray make history.

1815
01:25:24,452 --> 01:25:25,720
["Tokyo Shock" plays]

1816
01:25:25,787 --> 01:25:26,988
[Alicia] Here are your winners

1817
01:25:27,055 --> 01:25:31,926
and the 2022 Women's Dusty Cup Champions,

1818
01:25:31,993 --> 01:25:37,198
Kay Lee Ray and Io Shirai!

1819
01:25:38,633 --> 01:25:40,135
[Vic] What a victory

1820
01:25:40,201 --> 01:25:45,273
for Io and Kay Lee Ray as Toxic Attraction

1821
01:25:45,340 --> 01:25:49,110
looks on not very happy with the result,

1822
01:25:49,177 --> 01:25:55,016
but you can see the joy
pouring out of Io Shirai and Kay Lee Ray

1823
01:25:55,083 --> 01:25:59,654
who now etch their name
on the prestigious Dusty Cup.

1824
01:25:59,721 --> 01:26:03,391
Hey, Wendy Choo, Dakota Kai,

1825
01:26:03,458 --> 01:26:07,662
they got within an eyelash
of winning the Dusty Cup.

1826
01:26:07,729 --> 01:26:11,099
[Wade] All four ladies
laying it all on the line.

1827
01:26:11,166 --> 01:26:14,536
This one ebbed and flowed,
went back and forth.

1828
01:26:14,602 --> 01:26:17,972
Both teams having ample
opportunities to put it away,

1829
01:26:18,039 --> 01:26:21,709
but ultimately,
it was the genius of the Sky

1830
01:26:21,776 --> 01:26:24,145
with the moonsault getting the job done.

1831
01:26:24,212 --> 01:26:30,251
And we have 2022 Dusty Cup winners
for the ladies division.

1832
01:26:30,318 --> 01:26:32,520
Io Shirai and Kay Lee Ray.

1833
01:26:32,587 --> 01:26:34,522
Congratulations, ladies.

01:26:35,823 --> 01:26:37,225
[bell rings]

1836
01:26:42,030 --> 01:26:44,165
[Vic] History has been made.

1837
01:26:44,232 --> 01:26:46,968
Io Shirai, Kay Lee Ray, Dusty Cup--

1838
01:26:47,035 --> 01:26:49,637
Cut the stupid music.

1839
01:26:49,704 --> 01:26:53,474
Cut it. Cut the music.

1840
01:26:53,541 --> 01:26:54,976
Cut it.

1841
01:26:57,111 --> 01:27:01,082
Everyone, stay where they are.

1842
01:27:01,149 --> 01:27:04,018
The Champ has something to say.

1843
01:27:09,224 --> 01:27:13,294
First of all, congratulations, ladies,

1844
01:27:13,361 --> 01:27:16,898
for winning the Women's Dusty Cup.

1845
01:27:16,965 --> 01:27:19,834
-[crowd cheers]
-Wow.

1846
01:27:19,901 --> 01:27:22,637
Even though Wendy and Dakota blew it,

1847
01:27:22,704 --> 01:27:25,139
regardless, really, congratulations.

1848
01:27:25,206 --> 01:27:26,741
-[indistinct].
-Yeah.

1849
01:27:28,276 --> 01:27:34,749
But if you two think for one second
that you're gonna beat Gigi and Jacy

1850
01:27:34,816 --> 01:27:38,920
and become Tag Team Champions,

1851
01:27:38,987 --> 01:27:43,224
you're sadly mistaken.

1852
01:27:45,960 --> 01:27:49,063
Do you know what, Mandy?

1853
01:27:49,831 --> 01:27:51,733
We agree.

1854
01:27:52,767 --> 01:27:55,570
See, when we got
into the Dusty Tournament,

1855
01:27:55,903 --> 01:28:01,542
we had one thing in mind
and that was destroy Toxic Attraction.

1856
01:28:04,279 --> 01:28:09,651
And the best way to do that is go
after the leader

1857
01:28:09,717 --> 01:28:11,953
and take what's most important to her.

1858
01:28:17,258 --> 01:28:24,232
You said you would fight any woman,
any woman for that title.

1859
01:28:25,366 --> 01:28:30,338
So, me and Io think that we…

1860
01:28:37,645 --> 01:28:42,016
We are gonna cash
in on our tag team title opportunity,

1861
01:28:42,083 --> 01:28:45,253
but instead we're gonna make

1862
01:28:45,320 --> 01:28:50,892
the Women's Championship match
at Stand & Deliver a fatal four-way.

1863
01:28:52,326 --> 01:28:54,362
Really? Really? Really?

1864
01:28:57,865 --> 01:29:00,134
[Vic] Well, Toxic Attraction heard enough.

1865
01:29:00,201 --> 01:29:04,272
[Wade] Yeah, you cannot
outsmart Toxic Attraction.

1866
01:29:04,339 --> 01:29:06,441
Whatever nonsense Kay Lee Ray wanted to--

1867
01:29:06,507 --> 01:29:09,010
-[Vic] Oh, there's Cora Jade.
-[Wade] What the hell is she doing?

1868
01:29:09,077 --> 01:29:11,679
[Vic] She's evening the odds,
that's what she's doing, Barrett.

1869
01:29:11,746 --> 01:29:15,149
But wait a minute.
Rose's back is against the wall.

1870
01:29:15,216 --> 01:29:16,317
Three challengers now?

1871
01:29:16,818 --> 01:29:18,019
Did I hear that right from Kay Lee Ray?

1872
01:29:18,086 --> 01:29:20,955
[Wade] Absolutely not.
That's not fair to Mandy Rose.

1873
01:29:21,022 --> 01:29:22,457
That's not how it works.

1874
01:29:22,523 --> 01:29:26,527
[Vic] But more importantly, for Cora Jade,
is she gonna have two other opponents?

1875
01:29:26,594 --> 01:29:27,862
-[Wade] No! What?
-[Vic] What's going on?

1876
01:29:27,929 --> 01:29:29,564
[Wade] That's not fair at all.

1877
01:29:35,837 --> 01:29:37,405
[Vic] Cora Jade looking around.

1878
01:29:37,472 --> 01:29:38,973
Mandy Rose.

1879
01:29:39,474 --> 01:29:41,709
Are we gonna have a fatal four-way

1880
01:29:41,776 --> 01:29:44,746
for the NXT Women's Title
at NXT Stand & Deliver?

1881
01:29:47,982 --> 01:29:51,152
I'm not done yet. I hold this. Let's go!

1882
01:29:51,385 --> 01:29:52,820
Subtitles: Dawood Ali
ld this. Let's go!
