[WWE intro music]
Then.
Now.
Forever.
Together.
[music]
Yes, boy.
What better way to kick off the hottest show of the season,
NXT spring breakin', than with the fastest rising tag team in NXT 2.0,
Pretty Deadly.
Oh, yes.
[indistinct]
Boy, a show this fire needs a sizzling hot open
from the best looking NXT tag team champions of all time.
Flip that to tonight, you've got roughest looking former NXT tag champs,
the viking raiders, taking on the, [laughs]
oh, so close, but not close enough Creed brothers.
Now lets talk about some hot stuff.
Oh, you mean the NXT North American championship match?
Maybe.
You mean Bron Breakker against Joe Gacy for the NXT championship?
Maybe-- oh, you naughty boy.
You mean Nikkita Lyons, Cora Jade, Natalya and lash legend, don't you?
But?
Hot stuff, I know.
You mean Pretty Deadly.
Yes, boy.
All this talk about us and tonight, it's really heating things up.
Our pool awaits.
Lets submerge.
Let's.
NXT spring breakin'.
Yes, boy.
[music]
[Vic] The NXT universe is at a fever pitch with an emotional night ahead of us,
full of combustible elements, and three superstars
that are getting ready to clash for gold.
Welcome to NXT spring breakin'.
[Carmelo Hayes' music plays]
There is a superstar.
The question around Carmelo Hayes,
can he back up the talk and recapture the North America title?
[Wade] Whoa, whoa, whoa, just read the shirt.
Melo's t-shirt game once again is on point.
"Melo don't need a championship, melo is what a championship needs."
Couldn't have said it better myself.
Listen, we talk about backing up his talk,
melo always calls his shot, melo always delivers.
He wants the North American championship back,
and I'm not about to be the man who starts doubting what melo can do.
For my money, this man is going
to end the night as the new North American champion.
[Solo Sikoa's music plays]
[Vic] Look, Wade.
You sounded very confident in Carmelo Hayes,
but are we looking into the eyes
of a superstar being overlooked heading into tonight?
[Wade] Talk about overlooked, I will tell you this,
there are three superstars in tonight's match,
two of which have been getting their headlines.
Of course, one being Carmelo Hayes, the former North American champion,
the other being Cameron Grimes, the current North American champion.
Last week, Solo Sikoa beat trick Williams, and then laid out Cameron Grimes.
If Solo Sikoa is being overlooked by his opponents tonight,
he could very soon be adding more gold to his brethren.
[Cameron Grimes' music plays]
[Vic] Well, here comesa superstar
who some consider to be the biggest success story in 2022.
Oh, yes, here we go.
[Wade] Slow things down a little.
Lets just hold on a second with the applause today.
Cameron Grimes needed a last chance opportunity
to even qualify to get to NXT stand and deliver.
He was out in the cold for a long time,
then managed to get there at the last possible moment.
Won the North American championship,
not by pining or making the champ submit but by climbing a ladder.
Okay, yes, those were the rules of the match,
but I'm not going to bang the Cameron Grimes gong
too hard quite yet, still has a little more to prove as far as I'm concerned.
[Crowd chants "solo"]
[Bell rings]
[announcer] The following triple threat match scheduled
for one fall is for the NXT North American championship.
Introducing the challengers,
first, accompanied by trick Williams, Carmelo Hayes.
Next, Solo Sikoa.
Their opponent, he is the NXT North American champion,
Cameron Grimes.
[Vic] Wade, take a look around, the NXT universe.
[Crowd chants "solo"]
You can really feel the energy in the air.
[Bell rings]
[Wade] I think they've picked a favorite already, it's that man, Solo Sikoa.
[Vic] Oh, I don't think Carmelo Hayes is going to like his decision early on.
[Wade] He entered the punch very quickly, do not turn your back on Solo Sikoa,
or Cameron Grimes for that matter.
[Vic] Big backdrop.
Look, Carmelo Hayes believes Solo Sikoa shouldn't even be in this match up.
[Wade] Well, to be fair, Carmelo Hayes, I agree with him.
He never got pinned at stand and deliver
as we take another look at this high octane style there.
Bearing the brunt of the attack, of course, former champ Carmelo Hayes.
He never got a one-on-one rematch with the new champ,
Cameron Grimes.
I agree, he should feel aggrieved.
[Crowd chants "lets go, solo"]
[Vic] Hayes trying to get right back into the ring, but wait a minute,
Grimes from behind, shoulders down, kick out by Sikoa.
One more time picking his spot, wrong moment, wrong time.
Another cover, another count, another kick out.
[Wade] Hot start here for all combatants. Once again Carmelo Hayes gets thrown out.
[Vic] Once again Sikoa's shoulders down, kick out.
Oh, and a right hand.
[Wade] What's going on? Melo can't get in the ring.
[Vic] Yes, well, melo's missing right now. Sikoa just got caught with a back elbow.
You talk about Carmelo Hayes,
if he would have kept his nose out of Sikoa and Grimes
several weeks ago, maybe this wouldn't be a triple threat match.
[Wade] Trick Williams now giving a pep-talk to melo,
straight back into the cauldron.
Listen, Sikoa should not have had first crack at Cameron Grimes
before melo had his opportunity.
Where was melo's rematch?
Melo and trick were just righting the wrong by getting
involved in the Cameron Grimes, Solo Sikoa match.
[Wade] Wow, look at Carmelo Hayes,
two for one, taking down Sikoa first, charging right in on the champion.
The former North American champion now making his presence felt.
[Crowd chats "whoop that trick"]
NXT universe on another level.
Carmelo Hayes trying to get back to that championship level here tonight.
[Wade] Carmelo Hayes, taking a minute to get into this match,
but now he is quick stepping all over his opponents, doing what he does best.
[Vic] When you talk about Carmelo Hayes not getting the one-on-one rematch--
Hayes now looking to hit the fade away, and Hayes got all of it.
Carmelo Hayes, the only one standing at this moment.
Take a look at some of this action.
Carmelo Hayes has found that groove that you talked about.
Right on that early stage early on, and is now making his presence felt.
I want to go back to theone-on-one match,
because he had to go back to the end of the line.
[Wade] Back to the end of the line? When you're Carmelo Hayes,
you certainly don't go anywhere near the end of the line.
Listen, let me give you a Melo quote, "the North America title has gone from
being the a championship under me to not even being in the alphabet
championship, the prestige has dropped since it's been around
the waist of Cameron Grimes."
[Vic] Well, the current champion into the cover,
and Carmelo Hayes saving this match up.
[Wade] Carmelo Hayes is looking to stop the rot and get the North
American championship back where it belongs, and with moves like this,
you have to say Cameron Grimes almost pulling out the victory
and retaining if not for melo's intervention.
[Vic] What a way to kick off the night here at NXT spring
breakin', you wont miss a second of the action here tonight.
Now, Sikoa with his eyes on both men.
Grimes heads up, and the champion now charging in and taking out Sikoa.
[Wade] I have to admit with Solo Sikoa and his background,
he's used to fighting more than one man at a time,
street fighting champion of the island is going to come in handy in this match.
[Vic] Well, Sikoa certainly has grown since stand and deliver.
[Crowd chants "USO"]
Could Sikoa put gold around his waist or will it be Carmelo Hayes
to reclaim the title?
[Wade] Grimes turning Hayes inside out.
Falls into the cover to retain the North American championship,
[Vic] and big senton from Sikoa.
[Wade] Not a moment too soon.
Who's leaving spring breakin' North American champion?
[Vic] Back live.
NXT spring breakin', we said you wouldn't miss a second of the action
as this triple threat match for the NXT North American championship continues
and the AM champion is in control.
[Wade] Oh, absolutely.
The difference maker in this match up for my money has been
the nimble footwork of melo.
What an athlete he is, best mover in NXT.
In my opinion, he's needed in this match.
[Vic] Oh, a little mockery from Hayes and brings up a,
I hate to say, a good point from Hayes
as is Sikoa feeling the pressure to wear gold tonight.
[Wade] Listen, Sikoa thrives on pressure.
The man grew up on the streets knowing that he had the pressure
of having to fight to survive, fight to feed himself,
he was built for pressure, moments like this.
[Vic] Well, Cameron Grimes has been feeding off the pressure all year long.
The pressure is what molded him into a champion.
Now Carmelo Hayes, though, looking to become a two-time champion.
Called his shot, doesn't look like he's going to be able to deliver, but, oh.
Now it's Sikoa standing tall.
Talk about turning the tables, Solo Sikoa.
[Wade] Durability like no other.
Once again, getting the wind in his sails,
but that nimble footwork of Carmelo Hayes coming into play.
[Crowd chants "USO"]
[Vic] The NXT universe on their feet for this match up, but wait a minute.
[Wade] Oh, my word.
[Vic] All three men down, all three trying to become champion.
What a way to kick off NXT spring breakin', trick Williams beside himself.
It's all about the NXT North American title.
[Crowd chants "this is awesome"]
This is just the first championship match tonight.
The main event tonight for the NXT title, Breakker, Gacy,
it gets no more personal than that.
[Wade] Oh, I cannot wait for tonight's main event,
but we're pretty much getting a main event right here, right off the bat.
Championship on the line, both.
All three man leaving it out there on the map.
[Vic] Cameron Grimes has accepted all challenges, all challengers.
Whether it's Sikoa, whether it's Hayes.
Feels disrespected from the former North American champion.
[Wade] Listen, Cameron Grimes has climbed to the North American championship,
he's inspired by the desire to honor his late father.
It was a heartwarming story, feel good moment, even I enjoyed it.
The problem is,
what is the motivation now for Cameron Grimes?
He could be falling back down the mountain before our eyes
if he doesn't figure it out.
[Vic] The motivation is retaining, tonight, it's continuing to win.
It's continuing to get better, it's continuing to face
adversity as now it's Sikoa's who's able to battle back.
Oh, and here comes Cameron Grimes, this is what we're talking about.
The ability to stay on top.
[Wade] Don't get carried away with yourself.
Solo Sikoa has that look in his eye.
[Vic] Is the street champion about
to become an NXT North American champion here tonight?
[Wade] This man is digging deep. Solo Sikoa stand and deliver.
It was a coming out party for this man.
Hell of a performance in one-on-one action against Cameron Grimes several weeks ago.
This could be the cherry on top of the cake,
the crowning moment perhaps for Solo Sikoa.
[Vic] NXT universe on their feet.
Spinning uranage.
Sikoa, cover.
Do we have a new champion? The current champion saves his title.
[Wade] Just as that championship
is slipping out of the grasp of Cameron Grimes.
We've seen it once again,
Solo Sikoa bringing a whole new range of arsenal on the offense tonight.
[Vic] The disbelief on the look of the NXT universe.
Disbelief I'm sure on the heart of Sikoa,
and now Sikoa looking for that exclamation point.
[Wade] This is your opportunity, solo.
[Vic] Grimes.
Oh, crash and burn goes Sikoa.
[Wade] He realized the problem of a triple threat match,
your opponents are never both down long enough.
[Vic] Again, high risk, no reward that time for Grimes.
Grimes two for one.
Oh.
Poison rana connects.
Is this going to be enough?
Grimes quickly, quickly, trying to turn over Hayes.
Cover.
Count, and no, it's not enough.
[Wade] Such a tight high-angle pin there, but still Carmelo Hayes,
former a champion, just enough left in the tank,
but he is ripe for the pickings?
[Vic] Oh, Hayes had it scouted.
Hayes into the cover.
One, two--
[Vic] Grimes kicks out at two and a half.
Oh, it doesn't get any closer than that without ringing the bell.
That according to Corey graves.
[Wade] Trick Williams can't believe his eyes.
He thought his man had done it,
the entire arena thought this man had done it.
[Vic] Hayes now looking for that knockout blow.
Got caught.
Is it Sikoa's time?
Is it Sikoa's moment?
Feeding off the energy.
Looking to fly.
Big splash, big splash.
Cover.
Count.
One, two, three.
[Vic] No, was that a three?
Was that a three?
[Wade] Ref's saying two.
I thought he counted three.
[Vic] This match up continuing.
Sikoa's got to persevere now.
Sikoa hasn't been in many of these big match opportunities.
Hayes has, so has the champion, Cameron Grimes.
Oh.
Sikoa counters Hayes.
Wait a minute, cave in.
Cave in connects from Grimes.
Into the cover.
One, two, three.
[Bell rings] [Vic] Grimes able to retain.
[Cameron Grimes' music plays]
[announcer] Here is your winner and still NXT North American champion,
Cameron Grimes.
What a match.
[Wade] Man, I want to watch that entire match back all over again.
I'm about to faint.
Imagine how those three must feel right now.
[Vic] Let's go back to some of the action in this match up.
You said it time and time again,
you have to have eyes in the back of your head.
Triple threat rules, Grimes knew he didn't have to be factored
in the decision to lose his title.
Sikoa and Hayes brought their a game here tonight.
[Wade] Just three men laying it all on the line.
Here was the best chance perhaps for Carmelo Hayes to pull off
the recapturing of the North American championship.
[Vic] I'm sure the heart of a champion and in Solo Sikoa
feeding off the energy from the NXT universe.
[Wade] I got to be honest with you, I think this was a three.
Let's watch--
[Vic] I was not.
Great job by our truck.
[Wade] Oh, that might have been one millimeter.
One millimeter away from capturing the championship.
[Vic] In the closing moments, the champion found a way to overcome
the odds and persevere here tonight.
[Wade] Was that a match of the year?
[Vic] It certainly could be, and Cameron Grimes, the one standing tall.
Silencing some doubters here tonight.
Hi, Mandy.
Hey, ladies.
The usual?
You're all set, champ.
Thank you.
Yes, I'm just going to get a little base before the beach.
It'll be quick. I'll be 15 minutes or so.
Why don't you guys come meet me here and then we'll all go together?
All right, sound good.
I'll see you girls soon.
[Music]
Let's go, ladies.
Ready for the beach?
Looking only as we can.
What the heck happened to you?
Oh, my gosh.
I only set it for 10 minutes.
Damn, girl.
Are you okay?
You can't go to the beach like that, you know.
You look like a strawberry.
Okay, let's just go hang out indoors for a couple days.
It'll be fine.
Oh, okay.
We're going to be at the beach at the Dickie bar.
Look, we're going to send you some stuff.
Just put some aloe on.
We'll check in with you later.
Oh, my god.
[Screams]
Well, Mandy Rose won't be enjoying her beach day after all.
With me now is Nathan frazer who makes his NXT debut in just
a few moments against Grayson Waller, someone you've been
going back and forth on social media with all week long.
Yeah, well, Jacy is right.
Mandy does kind of look like a strawberry.
Sad scenes.
Yes, Grayson Waller, he's got a strong Twitter game.
I'll be honest, I do not care about social media right now.
I'm about to make my NXT debut.
Like, seriously,
10-year-old me is freaking out on the inside right now.
This is like all my birthdays and all my Christmases that I've
ever had just like wrapped into one.
It's like-- sorry, I'm a bit all over the place.
You have to realize, I've been waiting for this moment,
literally, my entire life.
[Grayson Waller's music plays]
All right.
Here we go.
Well, an excited Nathan frazer.
Guys, back to you.
Listen, I'm excited for Frazer, too, but someone needs
to go and rub some aloe into Mandy Rose.
[Wade] I bet you'd be the first to sign up for that.
[Vic] I bring aloe everywhere I go.
[Bell rings]
[announcer] The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
Introducing first, Grayson Waller.
[Vic] Oh, look who's here, MTV the challenge legend reality TV star,
Mark Long, who's in attendance to see his BFF, Grayson Waller, in action.
Stars are coming out for NXT spring breakin'.
Can Waller answer the call of one
of the highly anticipated debuts in recent memory?
Next on NXT.
Creeds.
Hey, creeds.
I know you guys say you're ready.
Well, tonight, I need to show me you're ready,
because I don't feel like you guys truly
understand the magnitude of your match tonight.
The viking raiders are former tag team champions.
They're your toughest challenge yet.
Hey, we got this, Rody.
We're locked in. We're in the zone.
We're good to go.
Good, good, 'cause I can't have a repeat of whatever
happened in that gauntlet match.
Rody, we're in the zone.
We're good.
Okay, yeah, I've heard that before.
Hey, Ivy, come here.
Come here.
Hey, pay attention.
I want you guys to pay attention and look around,
'cause I'm the leader of diamond mine, and what i say around here goes.
Let's get it tonight.
Oh, we will, Rody.
We will.
Oh, hell, no.
You wish.
[Nathan frazer's music plays]
[announcer] Making his way to the ring, Nathan frazer.
[Vic] Four years ago today, Frazer arrived in america to train
under Seth "freakin" Rollins.
Rollin's has tweeted, it's time to go show the world.
[Wade] I will tell you this, any endorsement from one of the best
of this generation, Seth "freakin" Rollins is absolutely huge.
Seth says nice things about others once every blue moon, so that is massive.
I will say the positivity does add pressure onto the shoulders
of this man, Nathan frazer.
Can't be hyped up like he has been only to fall flat on your face on your debut.
He needs to make an immediate impact tonight.
[Vic] Well, for Waller, Waller has talked down, almost mocking
his opponent in terms of reminding
everyone who is trained by Seth "freakin" Rollins,
really stuck to his mo last week, continued to show his arrogance throughout
the weekend, even more so here tonight.
[Wade] Absolutely.
Ran his mouth uninvitedly last week to Frazer and to chase u,
got a slap to in the face for his troubles,
but continue to trash talk all over social media.
Afterwards, Waller seems to have no control whatsoever over
the verbal diarrhea that comes out of his mouth non-stop.
That is what has consistently got him into trouble here in NXT.
[Vic] Feeling out the experience of-- oh, nice innovative offense.
Frazer had to wait an extra week.
As we heard him say to McKenzie Mitchell earlier tonight has been preparing
for this moment his entire life.
[Wade] Tonight is another big step up the ladder for Nathan frazer.
It's the biggest spotlight over here, there is stiffer competition,
there's more pressure on his shoulders.
Like you said, practiced his entire life for that and armed
with moves such as that one,
I think, he's going to do well, but we will find out very
quickly whether he can swim here or whether he's going to sink to the bottom.
[Vic] I'm glad you bring that up
'cause it was moves like we just witnessed, the explosion.
He exploded under the scene during his time on NXT UK.
[Wade] What a fertile ground NXT UK has proven to be.
Just look at some of the superstars who've made their way over the pond,
the likes of Rhea Ripley, Ridge Holland, butch, Gunther, all made over to NXT
and beyond because they had the ability to adapt to new environments.
It remains to be seen if Nathan frazer can do the same,
but we're learning a lot about the man already.
[Vic] Certainly are.
Right now, we're learning about the resiliency.
Highly anticipated debut for Frazer here tonight.
You can hear it already, feeling the love from the NXT universe.
NXT universe has been at another level here tonight.
[Wade] Absolute fever pitch turning this arena into a cauldron once
again for NXT spring breakin'.
[Vic] Oh, slipped through the backdoor, right back in charging is Waller.
Now, a dropkick from the middle turnbuckle.
Waller sent flying.
Oh, and this is right in Frazer's wheelhouse.
[Wade] This is where he's at his most dangerous.
What on earth does he have up his sleeve here?
[Vic] Witnessed this last week, looking to fly.
Oh, and Waller running.
[Wade] Running like a scolded cat, taking a little time out.
Jump on me.
[Vic] Waller now almost baiting his opponent out.
Oh.
These two continuing to slug it out of it.
There's a lot of animosity in a very short time built up between these two.
[Wade] I got to be honest with you.
I don't know if I would be slugging it out with a former
amateur boxer like Grayson Waller, because if you do,
this is what happens very quickly.
That's an experience factor right there, baited in the new comer, Nathan frazer.
[Vic] Chase university is in the house.
It got the attention of Waller.
[Wade] Let's face it.
He got their attention last week, talked a little trash to them.
The pact out here, giving him a little stick back in return.
[Vic] You talk about Frazer, you talk about Waller.
They're the complete opposites of each other.
You take a look at Waller, he's, well, pretentious,
I guess is a good word to use.
His opponent, humble, courteous, respectful.
Waller almost has a narcissistic ability, tendencies, so to speak.
[Wade] I will say this and this is universal for everyone
I've ever met in this industry.
Success in this game breeds arrogance to certain extents,
but none more so than with Grayson Waller.
He's had crazy success over the past six months or so,
but he's become a real braggadocios individual.
Frazer certainly seems more like a humble kind of champ,
hopefully, he retains that if he does
indeed achieve show some success here in NXT.
[Vic] Now trying to beat some respect into Grayson Waller tonight.
Everyone around the globe had been waiting for this debut,
thought we were going to see it last week.
Waller ruined that.
It happens here tonight at NXT spring breakin'.
Landing on his feet.
Waller rocked back for a moment, little bit of separation, looking to fly.
Whoa.
[Wade] Perfect timing from Grayson Waller.
All the chops I take at the man,
I can take nothing away from his ability in that ring.
To be honest, it makes me hate him even more.
[Vic] Waller-- oh, measuring his opponent right in front of his good friend
and BFF that we mentioned earlier.
What's Waller doing?
Waller, now, maybe just showing off a little bit for Mark long.
Don't miss a second of the action in our picture-picture break.
Will Waller continue to stand tall?
NXT spring breakin' in full force, as Grayson Waller
looking to defeat Nathan frazer in Frazer's debut here in NXT?
[Wade] Frazer, all through the break on, absolute kicking.
You can see the war wounds across the body of Frazer,
especially on that right shoulder.
[Vic] Oh, yes, right there.
[Wade] Getting that opportunity,
perhaps, to build up a head of steam, but clapped down in his tracks.
[Vic] Was looking to fly again,
Waller cuts cuts him off in the center of the ring.
Waller now planting Frazer. Into the cover to spoil the debut.
Frazer able to kick out at two.
[Crowd cheers] Yes.
[Wade] Welcome to NXT, Nathan Frazer. You are now in the lion's den.
Once again-- [Vic] Bam.
[Wade] That opportunity, but in the blink of an eye, Grayson Waller
back in the ring and dropping the Englishman down.
[Vic] Well, Waller taking his eyes
off the ball one more time to acknowledge chase university.
Waller recently has pointed the finger at everyone but himself.
[Crowd cheers]
[Wade] Grayson Waller believes he should already
be in the main event of every Wrestle Mania.
[Vic] Oh, mocking Seth "freakin" Rollins.
[Wade] Wow.
Listen, you've got to admire the confidence in a way,
but then he follows it up with this.
[Vic] Bam.
It didn't pay off, taking too much time to showboat as Waller--
now Frazer knocking Waller to the outside.
[Crowd cheers]
[Wade] This is Waller's problem for all his ability
constantly digging himself into trouble.
[Vic] Finally, Frazer looking to fly.
[Wade] The human missile itself.
[Vic] Now everything coming up for Frazer.
What a feeling this has to be.
He said the 10-year-old in him would be exploding right now
knowing what he's going through in this moment, his debut.
A lifetime of work to get to this moment.
Able to dodge for a moment, turning right back around.
Bam, super kick under the jaw.
Another one for good measure.
Falls into the cover, hook of the leg.
Is it enough?
Oh.
[Wade] Frustrating, yes, but admire the ring smarts of Grayson Waller.
Knew exactly where he was and that just saved his moment.
[Vic] Take another look.
Heads up and bam.
First one connects.
Second one, boom.
[Wade] Bullseye.
[Vic] Right on the button, couldn't put Waller away,
and now maybe what's going through the mind of the newcomer?
[Crowd chants "Frazer"]
[Wade] Let me tell you this, he is not feeling any pain right now.
[Vic] Looking for high risk. Oh, able to roll through somehow.
Presence of mind as Waller able to create some separation.
Oh.
[Wade] Whoa.
[Vic] That was innovative.
Into the cover. Is this enough to spoil the debut?
Just kicked out. [Crowd cheers]
Right shoulder just off the mat and now what's
going through the mind of Grayson Waller?
[Wade] Grayson Waller is pulling out these new moves because he knows
he's in a real fight, struggling to put away Nathan frazer.
[Crowd chants "Frazer"]
[Vic] Waller said all he needs is himself as he looks over at chase u one more time.
Oh, what a right hand.
That goes back to the boxing background that you brought up for Waller.
[Wade] Man's slugger.
The man is an elite athlete, multi-discipline.
Took a bit too long.
Nathan frazer catching Waller just in the abdominal area.
[Vic] Both superstars now going to a very precarious position and Frazer.
What's Frazer thinking?
Frazer could be thinking maybe a super Spanish fly?
[Wade] Well, he's out of his mind, I'll tell you that.
[Vic] Whoa, whoa, whoa.
No, no.
[Wade] Referee needs to check Nathan frazer.
That was nasty as hell.
[Vic] What?
What the heck?
Waller.
[Crowd cheers]
Waller just got dropped.
[Wade] Is that an air horn?
[Vic] Now Frazer.
Frazer to the top rope, Phoenix splash.
[Crowd cheers] Frazer got all of it.
Frazer got all of it.
Welcome to NXT.
[Bell rings] [Crowd cheers]
[Nathan frazer's music plays]
[announcer] Here is your winner, Nathan frazer.
[Vic] You want to talk about a viral moment.
We may have just witnessed one at NXT spring breakin'.
[Wade] What a debut, but hats off to chase u for the assist.
You make enough enemies in this game, it comes back to bite you
and I think chase u just got a little payback on Grayson Waller
for last week's antics.
[Vic] Let's go back to some of the action.
Early on it was a misfire by Frazer
and this could've been Grayson Waller's best opportunity during this match.
We always talk about innovative offense, give credit where credit is due,
but on this moment on this night it wasn't good enough to keep frazer down.
Grayson Waller then, and you called it, there's the air horn.
Chase u providing the assist here tonight, but in the end,
it was high-flying ability
of Nathan frazer to wow the NXT universe, pick up a huge win in his debut.
Can only imagine the emotions flowing through Frazer in this moment.
Again, welcome to NXT.
[Music]
Between the ropes, I'm hell on wheels,
but outside the ring, I'm just a small-town girl.
My name is Fallon Henley.
I love getting rowdy with Briggs and Jensen,
but there is nothing like riding a horse.
It's an escape from reality.
I've had my horse Luna for most of my life.
When my family bought the bar,
they had to sell the family ranch, but I made them keep Luna.
She's seen me at my best and she's seen me at my worst,
but the next time I see Luna,
I'll be showing her a contract for a women's championship match.
This breakout tournament is my chance to show the world what I can really do.
[Music]
[Vic] The women's breakout tournament beginning next week,
but it is all about business in a matter of moments to be discussed
as we see the emperor of lucha libre arriving.
[Wade] Of course, and shortly followed by the Don of NXT
flagged by aj Galante start a two Don sit-down meeting coming up next.
[Music]
NXT 2.0, we got the drip so find your fit.
NXT shop, as close as it gets.
[Music]
[Vic] There is NXT champion, Bron Breakker,
putting in final preparation before his NXT championship match
of tonight in the main event of NXT spring breakin'.
Welcome to ringside, Vic Joseph alongside Wade Barrett.
I'm glad you're feeling the vibe of the night,
you're dressed like a college professor,
who by the way, you probably give out homework over break.
Yes, you know what?
I would give out homework to all the students over break because
I am all business just like Tony d and Santos Escobar
who are going to meet face-to-face right now.
[Music]
You're late.
Listen here, Jacqueline.
What?
Easy, easy.
You soon better learn when you're the Don people wait on you.
What is he doing here?
I thought it was just our crews?
AJ Galante is my consigliere.
He's part of the family.
See, in my line of business, you need someone who can provide guidance--
I know what a consigliere is, he doesn't belong here.
Look, Santos.
I called this meeting before things escalated to a place
where you don't want to be and a place where I don't want to go.
See me and you, we're both very powerful men in our respective circles,
and yes, we got off on the wrong foot, but I'm a gracious man.
I'm willing to look pass all the disrespect that you've shown me,
some of it knowingly, and some of it unknowingly, maybe,
but tonight we settle things like businessmen.
Tony, I respect the way you carry yourself,
but as a businessman, no.
Out on the street, everyone knows they can trust Santos Escobar.
I look at you, I don't see the trust.
I offer you a courtesy.
I offer you a few men, and what did you do?
You chose to play games, lowball offers, the fish in the windshield.
[Laughs]
These two goofs attacking me.
Playing games is what brought us to this point.
Playing games?
No.
See, craps is a game, poker's a game, even Yatzy.
My guy stacks over there, he's a mean dice player.
You know what I think?
I think that there's enough business to go around in NXT.
Enough pie for Tony d and for the Legado's.
[Chuckles] We want similar things, yes,
but we are at two very different points in the journey.
You want to build a family from scratch, but me,
I'm adding to an already existing empire.
Maybe there's some way we can come together and share business.
Now since I have a proven track record of success,
you can sit back and follow my lead.
Follow your lead?
You know who you're talking to?
I'm the Don of NXT.
I don't follow anybody.
Who do you think you are? What are you, crazy?
Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Hey.
Tony.
Tony, all this tension isn't good for you or me to be honest.
Now that we know each other a little bit more, I say we call a truce.
Look, I apologize for my hard headedness.
I apologize for not fully understanding where you're coming from.
My consigliere reminded me that in the end,
this is what's best for family business
and peace is what's best for your business.
Peace is what's best for your business.
Let's make a deal.
Done.
For you.
Let's make a toast to the peace agreement. To the peace agreement.
I'll see you around, Santos.
I'll see you around.
Cruz, start the car.
[Vic] No peace has been made between these four women.
Combustible elements set to collide next at NXT spring breakin'.
Welcome back to NXT.
I'm now joined by former NXT and WWE tag team champions, the viking raiders.
Gentlemen, tonight, you face off against the Creed brothers.
Your thoughts?
There is no doubt that the creed brothers are world-class athletes,
but they have never been in a battle like we bring.
All that gym training isn't going to mean a thing when
they're in a fight with two grown-ass men.
Prepare the battlefield because the raid is here.
[Pretty deadly together saying "raid"]
We cannot wait to see you smash the Creed brothers.
Yes, boys.
These two men mean business,
but tonight, just know you're facing damaged goods.
That's right, boy.
After what we did to the creed brothers for these championships,
they're never going to be the same again.
You interrupt us again and we'll change who's damaged goods.
A bit rude.
We came here with one goal in mind,
but we're happy to change our focus to you.
No thank you.
Good luck tonight.
Good luck.
I understand that change can be intimidating,
but don't be frightened by change.
Change is necessary for the world to evolve and become a better place.
I am the change.
The barrier breaker, the difference maker.
Tonight, we are on the precipice of a new beginning
and you should fear what happens if I don't win the NXT championship.
Don't be afraid because tonight,
i will change the world.
[Nikkita Lyons' music plays]
[Wade] Huge consequences riding on the result of tonight's main event.
[Cora Jade's music plays]
[Vic] We are set for a combustible tag team clash.
[bell rings]
[announcer] The following is a tag team match scheduled for one fall.
Introducing first, the team of Nikkita Lyons and Cora Jade.
[Vic] Lyons is fired up and there's Cora Jade.
Has Jade learned to harness her emotions?
[Wade] Listen, I see myself as an empath, but for me, Jade has lost her damn mind.
She got angry after witnessing last week's attack on Lyons.
Immediately reacted and got involved.
Would've been wise to keep out of the way of her opponents tonight.
You know what?
We've had some fun over the social media reactions over the past few weeks
with regards to Nikkita Lyons, but behind all that,
you have to remember this is a grade a fighter, an athlete,
and she needs to bring her a game tonight.
[Natalya's music plays]
[Vic] What do you mean by you're an empath?
[announcer] Their opponents, the team of lash legend and Natalya.
[Wade] Vic, an empath, IE, myself,
is somebody who feels empathy for other people.
I feel other people's pain. I feel other people's negative energy.
I'm in touch with people like that in a way that you could never understand.
[Vic] I'm sure you feel the negative energy off of Natalya
who has really adapted to this do unto others first mentality.
[Wade] Do unto others as they would do to you.
Only do it first.
What a great life philosophy that is.
These young superstars in NXT have been coming up to Natalya,
buttering her up with all the stories of, "yes,
we admire you. We've watched you all our lives.
You're our big hero," and all this nonsense.
The boat, Natalya, sees through all of the BS.
She knows what they really want to do is drag her down and take her spot.
That is the truth of life in this business, in this game.
Natalya understands it, thankfully,
and she's not putting up with nonsense
from the likes of Nikkita Lyons and Cora Jade.
[Bell rings]
[Vic] Looks like Cora Jade is going to start things
off for her team as is lash legend.
Look, we've seen legend doesn't play well with others in the past.
[Wade] Strictly speaking, that's not actually true.
Of course, lash legend is a legend from her WNBA exploits
and her college basketball exploits.
Can clearly play well with teams when she wants to.
What I admire about lash, aside from the raw strength that she just displayed,
is the fact that she understands that this is sports entertainment.
It's a cutthroat road.
There are no friends around here no matter what people say.
We've seen attacks from lash on former tag partners such
as Amari Miller, and of course,
week in, week out, it seems, against Nikkita Lyons.
She is here to make moves, not friends.
[Vic] All right.
Now, Cora Jade a little bit of wave to Natalya
charging in and got caught by legend.
Lash legend showcasing that strength and power.
[Wade] Complete clash of styles in the ring right there between
lash and Cora Jade, and now we're going to get our first look at the boat.
[Vic] When you think about it,
early on that working together well as a team to what your point was.
Maybe lash legend has needed a mentor like Natalya.
[Wade] I will be perfectly clear with you here.
-[Wade] If mentors-- -[Vic] up and over,
shoulders down, kick-out.
[Wade] If mentors are up for grabs in the women's division,
the one you want to pick is the boat, Natalya.
[Vic] Shoulders down again, another near fall.
Jade staying right on top of Natalya.
Crucifix center of the ring.
Natalya able to kick out and wiggle free at two.
[Wade] Natalya has seen it all, she's done it all.
She has the experience and she can pass that on to anyone.
[Vic] Still to come, the NXT championship match.
We talk about harnessing emotions.
Same questions can be asked of Bron Breakker ahead of the main
event match up here tonight.
[Wade] Bron Breakker's mind must be a complete mess.
[Vic] NXT universe behind Cora Jade and Nikkita Lyons who's making
her way into the match up for the first time.
Has Lyons showed you enough to label her the Alpha of NXT?
[Wade] What struck me between Lyons and lash--
[Vic] cover, Hook on the leg.
What a big win this would be and another kick out.
[Wade] the victories would show that Lyons is indeed
the Alpha female between those two.
I've been blown away by the performances of Nikkita Lyons since she's arrived.
Clearly going to be a huge deal here in NXT and perhaps beyond,
but, with that being said, if you want to talk about an Alpha
female in NXT, there can only be one.
That is the woman at the top of the pack right now.
That is the NXT women's champion, Mandy Rose.
[Vic] I should've known you were going there with that question,
but look, Nikkita Lyons in control right now.
It was just last week it was Cora Jade coming to the aid
of Lyons which might've helped this duo gel very quickly.
[Wade] I will tell you this.
I question the smarts of getting involved by Cora Jade.
She's got a moral desire to fight injustice.
To me, that is just naive, youthful idealism.
I would've thought Natalya had given Jade a big enough warning three weeks ago.
[Vic] What are you talking about?
[Wade] Look, keep your nose out of other people's business, Cora Jade.
Go to the skate park. Do whatever you do.
Stay away from NXT when the boat Natalya's in town.
[Vic] Natalya from behind, looking for the victory
and Lyons able to kick out.
All eyes, no doubt, on this tag team clash next week.
All eyes will be on the first-ever NXT women's breakout tournament.
[Wade] Oh my word.
Cannot wait for that, of course.
Eight young, potential, aspiring superstars competing to break
out and change their entire career.
[Vic] Lash legend checking in and there is no love lost
between legend and Nikkita Lyons.
[Wade] I talked a little earlier about the experience factor of Natalya.
That clearly isn't the case with lash.
She is a rough gem, but with the boat armed with decades of Polish together,
they can really go places.
[Vic] What a suplex by legend, and lash legend in control.
How can legend redirect her career?
Could start right here tonight.
[Wade] I don't think we need to hit the panic button just because
lash legend had a couple of losses against Nikkita Lyons [indistinct]
[Vic] Oh.
Both women spilling in the outside.
We talked about the combustible element.
Look at Nikkita Lyons landed very awkwardly on her right shoulder.
Don't miss the second of the action.
Can these two teams bounce.
Back live NXT spring breakin'.
Jade, Lyons have really been on the back foot.
Natalya, legend in control throughout the commercial break.
Look, when it comes to Natalya,
she was part of this weekend's WWE live events in Europe.
[Wade] Yes, she sent out a tweet earlier today.
Actually, Cora has spent all week playing on a skateboard
at the skate park while Natalya has been competing for WWE over in Europe.
That in a nutshell right there
is the difference between these two superstars on our screen.
[Vic] That's a little bit unfair.
For Natalya, she put a little bit too much on her plate,
competed just 48 hours ago-- and a cheap shot from Natalya--
in Germany.
[Wade] Too much on her plate?
How insulting are you?
Listen, Natalya the boat--
[Vic] into the cover, hook of the leg.
Oh, Jade kicked out.
[Wade] Natalya can do it all, and I have it on very good authority
from my sources that Natalya is even eyeing up the WWE women's tag titles.
You heard it here first.
[Vic] The root of greatness herself in control and must be loving
every second of punishing Cora Jade.
Another tag was made.
Hate to say that you were right,
but legend, Natalya working quite well as a team.
[Wade] Absolute brilliance.
Lash is clearly been paying attention to the boat Natalya, her instructions.
Lash looks like she's completely in control.
She's been a great athlete here from day one, but this is a different level.
Poor Cora Jade getting absolute whooping so far in this match up.
[Vic] Another tag was made back in, comes Natalya.
of her energy Natalya who has been focusing a lot here in NXT
as of late, certainly, has made a lot of enemies since returning to NXT.
[Wade] There's a reason why Natalya
has been at the top of this game for 15 plus years.
[Vic] Oh.
Took an eye off the ball, Natalya.
Jade from behind, near fall.
[Wade] Natalya is not scared of making enemies.
She realizes it's pointless having friends in this game, acquaintances, perhaps.
[Vic] A cover, another hook to the leg.
Jade continuing to fight.
[Wade] Friends ultimately will only
do one thing to you and that is stab you in the back.
[Vic] Wrestlemania backlash this Sunday, the premium live event.
How about Charlotte flair, Ronda Rousey,
Smack Down women's title in an I quit match.
[Wade] Best of sports entertainment versus the best of the MMA world, cannot miss.
[Vic] Jade now just trying to negotiate her way free,
certainly does.
Jade now charging in, so close to a tag.
Jade reaching out.
Lyons as well.
So close to Jade, but not close enough.
[Wade] Natalya just so much of a powerhouse in there
and it's only getting even more powerful as big lash steps in there.
[Vic] Cora Jade has taken a lot of punishment in this match up.
One, two, three.
Knock me off.
It might not be the NXT universe that can rally Jade in this match.
As legend charging in.
Whoa, and Jade, she was able to side step legend.
Legend crashed and burned.
-[Wade] Did she, or did she just collapse? -[Vic] Come on, come on, come on.
[Wade] Either way, effective and this might be the opportunity for Cora Jade.
[Vic] Jade's crawling over, so close--
[indistinct] [Wade] The worst way
[Vic] looking to make the tag and-- Natalya.
[Wade] Denied.
[Vic] Whoa, Natalya looking for the sharpshooter.
Tag's made.
In comes Lyons and Lyons about to roar.
What a strike from Lyons.
[Wade] Nikkita Lyons has waited long enough to get in there.
Now exploding with anger in that ring.
[Vic] From behind, wait, wait shoulders down, again, shoulders down.
Just able to kick out.
Nice counter, nice reversal.
Oh, another near fall in this tag team match up.
Lyons has some [indistinct]
Natalya said several weeks ago.
Oh.
Lyons, cover.
Will it be enough?
Oh, Natalya's right shoulder up the mat.
What a feather in a cap for Nikkita Lyons would be to pin Natalya.
Take another look.
Bam.
[Wade] Just impressive, explosive power from Nikkita Lyons
coming within a millisecond of putting the boat away.
Now's the question, when that doesn't work,
what the hell else you go on your arsenal?
[Vic] Lyons pulling out some new--
oh, and Natalya looking for a…
[indistinct] The sharpshooter.
Lyons had it scouted.
I believe a tag was made.
Lash legend now the legal superstar.
Lyons didn't know it.
Certainly knows it now.
What a dropkick.
Did you see the height from Lyon-- from legend onto Lyons?
Now legend not wasting any time.
[Wade] That was just the appetizer.
Now you're getting some ground and pound.
[Vic] Legend could've went for the cover instead wants to continue to inflict pain,
continue to inflict damage on a woman
who has embarrassed her over the last several weeks.
[Wade] There's a little extra on those punches from lash legend.
-[Vic] Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. -[Wade] I spoke too soon.
[Vic] Oh, near fall. Oh.
[Wade] Miscue.
Oh, no.
[Vic] A huge miscommunication.
[Wade] Just shows you the lack of chemistry that has been
developed between these two.
[Vic] Natalya trying to plead her case.
Legend not realizing where she is.
Uh-oh.
Big German suplex from Lyons.
[Wade] All falling apart at the seams for lash legend and Natalya.
[Vic] Tag.
[Wade] Things starting to look bleak.
[Vic] Take a look at this duo, Lyons and Cora Jade.
Jade's legal.
Jade looking to fly.
Into the cover.
One, two, three.
[Vic] What a victory for Jade and Lyons.
[Bell rings]
[Cora Jade's music plays]
[announcer] Here are your winners, Nikkita Lyons and Cora Jade.
[Wade] After the beating to Cora Jade especially took in that match,
I cannot believe she's even standing, let alone, able to fly off the top rope
and put this one to bed.
That was impressive stuff from young Cora Jade.
[Vic] Right here was possibly the turning point into the match up.
Bam.
Miscommunication between Natalya and lash legend,
which would start to be the down fall for their team and would open
the door for Cora Jade for high risk, high reward.
Maybe the roots of greatness starting to spread for Cora Jade.
How sweet it must feel for Jade and Lyons.
A huge win this week.
Let's focus on next week where we'll witness the women's
division and a superstar ready to break out.
[Music]
My name is Tatum Paxley.
The power of visualization has been my road map to success.
There is no greater personal challenge than power lifting.
It's strictly between you and the weight.
It's as mental as it is physical.
No matter how much weight was on that far, I knew I was going to pick it up.
In this tournament, there are a lot of incredible athletes.
Everyday, I visualize my hand being raised and awarded that contract.
You're looking at the winner of the first NXT women's breakout tournament.
[Vic] Women's breakout tournament begins next week here live on NXT.
[The viking raider's music plays]
[announcer] The following contest is a tag team match scheduled for one fall.
Introducing first, Erik and Ivar, the viking raiders.
[Vic] Erik and Ivar said the raid is here,
certainly brought the raid back to NXT last week.
[Wade] Oh, yes, they did.
So good to see them back at NXT.
They've got some deep roots in this brand.
They are back.
They are bad.
They are fighting up next.
We got a great parking spot.
Don't let what happened to Mandy ruin our day.
No, I already sent her some bottles of aloe.
She'll be fine.
Do you think it was that little delinquent, Wendy choo?
She's obsessed with us.
Yeah, but who can blame her? Everyone's obsessed with us.
That's true.
Those guys checking us out last night.
Wendy, I don't know about this.
I should be training for the breakout tournament right now.
This is training.
Huh?
Listen, these girls make everyone's lives a living hell,
so it's more fun to do it at them.
Let's go.
[Music]
Where's my shoes?
Wait, oh, my god.
Where are my shoes? I just bought those.
Do you have the car keys?
What do you mean do I have the car keys?
I don't see them in here. You put them in there.
Where is our stuff? I don't see the car keys.
[Indistinct] Hey toxic, looking for these?
You little freak.
[Indistinct] Oh my god.
Are these our keys?
Where's my car?
Dude, where's the car?
Didn't I put it right there?
Get her.
Ow, ow, ow, ow, missing something ladies?
I need something. Ice, ice, ice, ice.
A drink?
[The Creed brothers' music plays]
-[Vic] Oh geez.
-[Wade] More sophomore from Choo and Perez.
[Crosstalk] Vic Joseph because
sooner or later, they are going to face a day of reckoning.
[announcer] Making their way to the ring,
representing diamond mine, Julius and Brutus, the Creed brothers.
[Vic] I'm sure there'll be no fun and games here between
the Creed brothers and the viking raiders.
The creeds got some sort of pep talk from Roderick Strong earlier.
[Wade] Roderick Strong put all questions to bed.
He is the undoubted leader of the diamond mine and the message
was clear to these two.
The creeds step out of line and you are gone.
The creeds have to respond in a positive way tonight.
Easier said than done against the viking raiders.
Former NXT tag team champions.
They've actually never been beaten here in NXT.
Brought back that viking mentality last week.
A look back to their dangerous best.
[Vic] Erik tagging in and now Brutus trying to get back in.
Erik sidelining him and right in on Julius.
The viking raiders said earlier that gym doesn't mean much when you're in a fight.
[Wade] They just proved that right off the bat.
[Vic] Oh, how tough are the viking raiders?
[Wade] Just two wrecking machines
and we're witnessing it up close and personal here.
Listen, coming face to face with these two animals is every man's worst nightmare.
Bundles of raw power, bundles of aggression.
Go back just last week.
Look at the beating they handed--
[Vic] oh, the viking experience into the cover, hook of the leg,
and Julius able to kick out.
[Wade] This is more of the same from last week.
The beating they handed Enofi and Blade as we take another
look at Julius creed, a huge man being treated like he's a toy.
It's a highlight reel of the worst things that could happen to anyone in the ring.
[Vic] Eric now just stalking Julius and the question coming into
tonight would be will the Creed brothers be up to the test of the viking raiders?
[Wade] We already know just how good--
[Vic] inside cradle, shoulders down, inside cradle,
inside cradle, and Erik able to kick out at two.
[Wade] You know they're going to keep kicking no matter what
as we take a look at Brutus now.
They have blown away all of the competition here in NXT,
of course, until they came face to face with Pretty Deadly,
but this test tonight, this is a new level for them.
They're taking on former raw tag team champions, the viking raiders.
This is the level the creeds aspire to get.
[Vic] Look at Brutus though taking out the viking raiders.
It was Brutus who said they are locked in, they are in the zone,
and it's now Brutus who's charging in and now physically
manhandling Eric which is something I never thought I would lever say.
Remember, the viking raiders are here because of Roderick Strong.
[Wade] They certainly built Brutus creed a little differently,
and well, Julius as well for that matter but you're right--
[Vic] Julius is legal, Julius into the cover, and a quick kick-out.
[Wade] The raiders are here because of Roderick Strong.
Strong was sick of the excuses he was hearing from within
the diamond mine so this is an element of tough love, I guess,
for the creeds, and it is as stiff a test as is imaginable.
[Vic] Now the Creed brothers showing their toughness and Erik
was just able, I think, to get his knees up at the last moment.
You could see Julius in a lot of pain.
Brutus charging in, goes for the ride.
[Wade] Perhaps the experience
[crosstalk] The viking raiders
coming into play because the creeds look a mess right now.
[Vic] Tag was made.
Ivar is now legal and it's the viking raiders who move with
anger everything done with the intent to inflict pain.
NXT spring breakin' continuing.
It's the Creed brothers who really have stepped up their game in 2022,
but can they step up again tonight taking on the viking raiders?
[Wade] Listen Victor, before the break, you mentioned the viking
raiders fighting with anger.
There's another look in the corner of what we witnessed during the break.
They really are a throwback to an earlier point in human evolution.
A time without comforts.
Back then, it was eat or be eaten and an equation like that
I am going to back the viking raiders every single time.
[Vic] Brutus showcasing his strength.
Now, critical moment for Brutus.
Desperately needs to make a tag to his brother Julius right
there so close reaching out.
[Wade] Brutus looking all glassy-eyed as he crawls over.
[Vic] Here comes Ivar and in comes Julius and will the momentum
swing in favor of the Creed brothers?
Julius right now just trying his best to hit anything and that
includes Erik on the outside, picking up some momentum
and then steamrolling right through Ivar.
[Wade] It is an achievement in itself just knocking the viking
raiders off their feet, but straight back up and on the offense.
[Vic] And Ivar, you can see Ivar limping just a little bit after
the attack and now take a look again at Julius
and the strength manhandling Erik.
[Wade] Erik almost coming down on the top of his head just
managing to talk at the last second thankfully for him.
[Vic] I believe a tag may have been made.
A tag finally is made.
Brutus now coming into the match up.
[Wade] Brutus looking the worst
[indistinct]
How wise that tag was remains to be seen.
[Vic] Creed brothers have been in the gym 15 hours a day since
the NXT tag team gauntlet for moments like this to overcome.
Looking to silence even Roderick strong here this evening.
Brutus into the cover.
Will it be enough?
Oh, just able to kick out is Erik.
[Wade] Smart tactics there by the creeds.
Wasn't quite enough to put this one to bed.
Now might be a chance.
[Vic] Now it's Brutus and Erik and Erik trying to overcome--
what another vicious knee to the back of the neck, into the cover.
Julius can't get to his brother, but he's able to kick out.
[Wade] Almost a KO of Brutus there.
Now going on on the outside here--
[Vic] did you hear the thud of Julius?
[Wade] Viking raiders must taste victory here.
[Vic] Julius has been taken out by Ivar.
I don't think Brutus realizes it.
[Wade] I don't think Julius is getting back up either.
[Vic] Brutus trying to take out both members of the viking raiders.
[Wade] Might have to do it alone if he's going to get anything out of this match up.
[Vic] Ivar is the legal superstar.
Sit down center of the ring.
Is it enough?
Brutus able to kick out yet again.
[Wade] As we've seen in the past from the Creed brothers,
namely in the tag team championship gauntlet,
they can keep on ticking after you write them off
and I'd write Brutus off right here, but somehow kicking out.
[Vic] The extra hours in the gym paying off for the Creed brothers but again,
it was the viking raiders earlier tonight that said that sort of training
doesn't mean much when you're in a fight.
Can the Creed brothers prove them wrong here at NXT spring breakin'?
Viking raiders so fluid as a team and now what?
Oh, almost like a battering ram.
Oh, no.
[Wade] Oh, the double whammy.
[Vic] Ivar with the all the weight down onto Brutus.
Erik quickly into the cover.
Another kick-out.
[Wade] There can be no scarier sight than a flying Ivar other than
a Brutus kicking out after receiving a pancaking from said flying Ivar.
[Crowd chants]
[Vic] How for Brutus?
You can hear the NXT universe.
Unbelievable what the creed brothers have been able to do,
been able to withstand the viking raiders.
Have thrown their best shots here tonight.
Brutus trying to get a tag.
So close and Ivar able to trip up Brutus at the last moment.
Still so close and in comes Julius.
[Wade] All men running on fumes at this point.
[Vic] No one home for Ivar.
[Wade] Come on.
[Vic] Talk about the experience factor for the viking raiders.
Will experience pay off here tonight?
Ivar all the way to the top rope.
Julius.
[Wade] Ludicrous athleticism.
[Vic] No way.
[Wade] No way, no.
[Crowd chants]
[Vic] Adrenaline pumping through the veins
of Julius creed looking at Ivar.
Oh, swing and a miss.
[Wade] Scouted by Ivar.
That is why these two are just so good. Perhaps unbeatable.
[Crowd chants "this is awesome"]
[Vic] This indeed could be the end of the Creed brothers.
Eric into the cover.
Brutus bulldozing his way through Eric.
This match continues.
[Crowd cheers]
-[Wade] Take another look as-- -[Vic] boom.
[Wade] Mass of humanity crashing down center of the ring.
Somehow, someway Brutus creed back on his feet.
It was enough to prevent this match going south for the creeds.
[Vic] Absolutely unreal for the creeds who continue to push forward and somehow--
take a look at the strength of Julius.
Julius now trying to charge in and then there's Brutus.
Brutus trying to take out Ivar. Action spilling all over.
Oh, what a knee under the jaw?
What a strike?
Whoa, who the?
[Crowd cheers]
Was that Roderick Strong?
Bam.
Clothesline by Julius.
Cover.
Creed brothers victorious.
[Bell rings]
[The Creed brothers' music]
Here are your winners, the Creed brothers.
[Wade] Well, you mentioned Roderick strong, you're absolutely right.
What a brilliant piece of team
leadership that was from the head of the diamond mine, Roderick Strong.
[Vic] Flashed right before our eyes.
Did Roderick Strong-- let's go back.
These were the closing moments of the match-up.
Brutus, Ivar.
Again, we talk about the action, the hard-hitting action.
This match-up was absolutely unbelievable.
Turning point Roderick Strong.
[Wade] The superb one stronger.
[Vic] Whoa, whoa, whoa.
Wait a minute.
[Wade] No.
I saved your asses there.
No. No.
You should be-- [crosstalk]
A win's a win. No.
[Vic] Referee didn't see Roderick Strong neither did the Creed brothers.
[Crosstalk]
Good evening boys.
That's how we do it.
Have a good night.
The Don of NXT.
Galante, can I have a word?
Nice wheels right there.
I do.
I respect your position.
Tony is very lucky to have someone like you.
If he were to lose you and your wisdom, I'm sure it would be tough on him.
[Foreign language]
[Music]
[Wade] Whoa.
That might be the last we ever see of aj Galante,
but moving on is this going to be the last we
of Bron Breakker as NXT champ as he makes his way to the ring
ahead of tonight's main event?
[Vic] Well, Joe Gacy has a way and indeed will be Breakker, Gacy for the NXT title.
NXT spring breakin' next.
[Music]
The tiniest flicker can spark a flame
and in seconds can spread into a raging fire.
Run from your heritage or face who you are.
I scorched the present to illicit my future past.
Next week I ignite my diva.
Hey there Isiah, I've been-- listen, I heard about--
Stop it.
Listen, brother, I promise that
I'm going to make Von Wagner regret doing this to you.
It's all good, man.
Trust me, it's all good.
Now, doc, tell me what's the recovery time here?
Normally for an injury like this it would be about
a 10 to 12 week recovery process--
you got to be kidding me. Come on now.
It's got to be--
but because the muscles around the injury are very strong,
it's actually going to be a shorter timetable.
Hell yes. There we go.
Now we're talking. We're talking.
Good news, doc.
Is there a particular reason that your right hand is stronger than your left?
Oh, that's a-- for example, are you right-handed?
Yes. That's it.
That's it, doc. There we go, doc.
Bingo. Right-handed.
Right-handed. Well, that would explain it.
You see, about 85% of the world is right-handed, very common.
85%.
Yes, that's it, bro.
Let's get this casted and then I'm going estimate about
six to eight weeks for recovery time.
There we go. There we go.
Now we're talking.
Up top. Up top, doc.
Ouh, ouh.
Okay, okay.
[Music]
[Wade] I'm going to bet that Jensen
has the strongest right forearm on the planet.
[Vic] Well, next week dreams will start to be made
as it is the first-ever NXT women's breakout tournament.
It starts live right here on NXT.
[Wade] Cannot wait for that, but Wendy choo's juvenile antics
have been a Thorn in the side of toxic a for weeks now.
Next week Choo teams up with Roxanne Perez to take on the tag champs.
[Vic] Well, speaking of championships,
it is time for the NXT title
to be defended here at NXT spring breakin'.
[Joe Gacy's music plays]
There is the challenger.
What makes a man do what Gacy has done to Breakker?
[Wade] Listen, it's hard to understand what on earth this man has been up to.
You've got to go back in time.
Remember that his original message was one of inclusivity,
bringing people together, all this good stuff, but now for me,
the mask's completely slipped.
Things have dispelled into a quest for Joe Gacy
to grab power in NXT by any means necessary.
There is no one more powerful than the man who holds the NXT
championship and that clearly is where Gacy wants to be.
[Vic] The eyes, they're very deranged.
Superstar.
[Bron Breakker's music plays]
Well, there we looked into the eyes of a superstar
who is walking with a purpose, the NXT champion.
I talked to Breakker earlier today
he said he will have his father on his mind.
You can see Bron wearing a singlet.
The same singlet worn by his father, the hall of famer,
Rick Steiner on the very first Monday night raw back in 1993.
[Wade] Whoa.
What a piece of history right
there adorning the body of our champion, Bron Breakker.
Of course, WWE hall of famer, Rick Steiner,
a man tortured by that man standing in the corner,
his opponent tonight, Joe Gacy.
[Vic] I talked to Breakker, he told me that tonight when
he comes to the curtain, he cannot enter a dark place.
He must block out the noise and the mind games played by the challenger.
[Wade] Easier said than done.
[Bell rings]
[announcer] The following contest scheduled for one fall
is for the NXT championship.
[Crowd cheers]
Introducing first the challenger, Joe Gacy.
[Crowd boos]
His opponent.
He is the NXT champion,
Bron Breakker.
[Crowd cheers]
[Vic] Well, for Breakker arguably the greatest
test to his mental makeup and also his reign as champion.
I can only imagine his thoughts over the last few weeks.
[Wade] It was pretty simple.
The way I see it.
We've seen plenty of times in the past with opponents like
Ciampa, like Gunther, Bron is a hothead and
[bell rings] it's his biggest weakness by far.
[Vic] Oh.
Breakker quickly right into Gacy.
Both men spilling to the outside and this is what Breakker said
he did not need to do is enter a dark place.
He's got to stay composed and right now it's Breakker taking it right to Gacy.
He must be seeing red.
[Wade] When you get under the skin of Bron Breakker,
[Vic] oh.
[Wade] He melts down before your eyes. He needs to keep it together tonight.
[Vic] Well, quick take down and look at Breakker
right on top of Gacy slithers his way free.
One word that describes Breakker it's intense.
[Wade] Absolutely and clearly Gacy just tasted that first hand.
Didn't like it at all.
[Vic] We saw last night on raw Kody Rhodes seeing red
after Seth "freakin" Rollins mentioned
his hall of fame father, the late dusty Rhodes.
Rhodes, Rollins ii, this Sunday Wrestle Mania backlash premium live event.
[Wade] The first was a classic between those two,
but an angry Rollins is scary proposition for anyone.
[Vic] Well, so is an angry Bron Breakker who just brings in Gacy the hard way.
Look, it's not going to be easy.
[Wade] You're going to pay for what you did to my family.
[Indistinct].
I did it for you. I promise.
I did it for you.
[Vic] It's not going to be easy for Breakker to harness his emotions.
[Wade] Said it himself, "don't mess with my family."
[Crowd cheers]
[Vic] Breakker unfazed.
[Wade] Gacy tried is best to capitalize there on that emotion,
but denied by the power of Bron Breakker.
[Vic] Look, we talk about the emotions.
The big question you have is can Breakker--
can he stay composed?
[Wade] Listen, Gacy is exploiting
the weaknesses of Bron by attacking his family.
New levels of adversity that the young champ has never faced before.
This is Bron at his most vulnerable, in my opinion.
[Vic] Gacy, finally able to take
down Bron Breakker to control the pace of this match up.
Can you imagine what NXT would be like if Gacy were the NXT champion?
[Wade] That paints a bleak picture for me.
To quote George Orwell,
"it'd be like a boot stomping on a human face forever."
It is as close as NXT could get to complete dystopia.
One that I hope not to witness.
[Vic] Breakker right on top.
Oh and the challenger right to the stomach.
Right to the midsection and now right between the eyes.
[Wade] Gacy not afraid to go low if it behooves him to do so.
[Vic] Crash and burn for Breakker.
Almost knocked all the way up the aisle here at NXT spring breakin'.
Look, Gacy's got to remember.
He must get the champion back in the ring.
Title cannot change hands on a count-out.
Gacy methodically now.
Breakker switching gears.
Gacy mowing over the champion.
[Wade] He's cleaned the clock of Bron Breakker.
Just when Bron was taking control.
[Vic] You won't miss a second of the action as the NXT title match rolls on.
Back live NXT spring breakin'.
This about the NXT championship for Bron Breakker.
It's about family, it's about standing up for his father,
it's about retaining his NXT title and then boom for Joe Gacy.
It's about molding NXT into his vision and you look at Gacy.
He certainly has changed since arriving to NXT.
[Wade] Changed in many ways but still creeping me the hell out.
Listen, slowly the cat has been let out of the bag by Joe Gacy.
Certainly, nothing to do with inclusivity.
It's about this man gaining power and control in NXT
and that is exactly what's happening here.
[Vic] Gacy for the title, into the cover, hook of the leg.
Breakker kicks out.
Look, Gacy really has turned himself almost into a master of fear.
[Wade] Yes, talk about softly,
softly approach when he first got here to NXT.
[Vic] Off the leg drop,
into another cover, another kick-out by the champion.
[Wade] A lot of people creeped out by him from the beginning,
but did manage to win over some hearts and minds of some followers.
The message has since changed
from inclusivity to one of aggression and those early
followers must now think to themselves,
what the hell is going to happen to me if I try stepping away from Gacy?
[Vic] The manipulative Joe Gacy said he has to be the one to lead him.
Did I just see one of those followers that you were just talking about?
[Wade] Joe Gacy has followers popping up everywhere.
[Vic] In Gacy's mind, he believes he's done nothing wrong.
Almost dogmatic in nature.
[Wade] Well, you mentioned he wants to lead everyone.
Where the hell is he going to lead us to?
That is the question.
Dogmatic in nature.
Certainly, one creepy individual.
Highly untrustworthy if you ask me.
[Vic] If Gacy continues to fly into this match up,
he could be the NXT champion and we might find
out sooner rather than later, but right now, for Bron Breakker,
the champion continuing to move, continuing to fight--
oh, that 4340 speed running through Gacy.
You ever been hit by a brick wall that runs that fast?
[Wade] Absolutely not.
The juggernaut has become unleashed here,
but Joe Gacy once again going as low has he can to take back control.
[Vic] Gacy, again, planting the champion.
The challenger into the cover.
Title on the line and Breakker fighting and kicking out once again.
The hell?
[Wade] I've gotten the heebie jeebies
just looking at this, checking it on my own back.
[Vic] Gacy said that family can only be tested through fire.
Has told Breakker time and time again he did this all of him.
He asked Breakker to take a leap of faith.
We saw how that worked out as the NXT universe trying to get
behind the NXT champion who seems to have lost all momentum.
[Wade] Crashing down to earth.
A feeling that must be becoming rather familiar to Bron Breakker
after these past few weeks.
[Vic] Oh.
[Wade] Count him out at your peril, however.
[Vic] Breakker able to answer back.
He heard from Joe Gacy earlier.
Gacy vowed to change the world as look at a bulldog.
Tip of the hat to his father Rick Steiner.
Into the cover, hook of the leg,
and a near fall as Gacy kicks out yet again.
[Wade] Perhaps a little bit of frustration now beginning
to hatch itself on the face on the face of Bron Breakker
but he looks controlled, looks pensive.
Gacy taking all of this abuse and some.
Keeping it on ticking.
[Vic] We've seen Breakker overcome the odds in the past
as you are looking live here NXT spring breakin' for the NXT championship.
Champion charging in.
Challenger now trying to answer back, but gets planted.
[Wade] Bron looking cool, calm, collected.
[Vic] This could be the beginning
of the end for Gacy who's able to slither free again.
Gacy is one big individual.
[Wade] Oh.
[Vic] Oh, taking over.
Franken Steiner.
Big belly to belly.
Wasn't perfect, but was it enough?
Another near fall for Gacy.
[Wade] Attempted block there from Gacy.
I think Bron just raw powered him over.
Clearly, wasn't quite enough to retain the championship quite yet,
but you get the feeling he's got the momentum.
[Vic] Bron Breakker, you've talked
about it time and time again harnessing his emotions,
overcoming the odds, keeping his composure.
[Wade] Put it this way, if my father was attacked,
I would not be able to keep my own composure.
I didn't think Bron had a chance but he threw in a fine job in there.
[Vic] Breakker continuing to push forward and breakker now again measuring Gacy.
Gacy able to sidestep one more time.
Oh, right to the lower back and now Gacy.
Can Joe Gacy be closing in on becoming
NXT champion?
Relentless is the challenger.
[Wade] The methodical assault on Bron Breakker.
[Vic] Power-bomb.
Do we have a new champion?
Breakker kicks out.
[Wade] Just somehow enough to keep going in this one.
Joe Gacy not believing his eyes.
Thought he just tasted gold for the first time here in NXT.
[Vic] So close for Joe Gacy who said we should all fear what
happens if he doesn't win the title tonight.
[crowd chants]
I'm not done.
I'm going to take that title away from you now.
[Vic] Gacy into the face of the champion.
Gacy measuring Breakker.
Breakker spear.
The defiant champion cracking ribs into the cover.
Breakker retains.
[Bell rings]
[Bron Breakker's music plays]
[announcer] Here is your winner, and still the NXT champion, Bron Breakker.
[Wade] Bron Breakker taken to hell and back over these past couple
of months here at NXT and indeed in this match up,
but showing that unyielding nature.
Once again retaining and putting Joe Gacy away, finally.
[Vic] Let's go back into the action of this match because look,
Joe Gacy was rocking in this match up.
Perhaps this was the best opportunity for Gacy to seize control of NXT.
[Wade] Surprisingly, this is where Gacy lost his cool.
Not what I was anticipating and how about the champ, Bron,
to capitalize, put this one to bed, and retain?
[Vic] What a feeling for Bron Breakker.
His father is somewhere barking
the only way Rick Steiner can as Breakker overcomes.
Bron Breakker still the NXT champion and simply put,
Breakker is NXT?
What the hell is that?
Subtitles: Aadesh Surana XT champion and simply put,
