00:00:17,083 --> 00:00:18,084
Forever.

5
00:00:22,889 --> 00:00:24,157
Together.

6
00:00:29,829 --> 00:00:34,768
[Alicia] The following is a fatal
four-way elimination match.

7
00:00:34,834 --> 00:00:36,136
To crown the new

8
00:00:36,202 --> 00:00:39,372
NXT Women's Tag Team champions.

[Vic] Jayne tagged in.
Jayne is legal. Into the cover.

00:01:02,228 --> 00:01:06,099
And here it is,
these two teams for the gold.

15
00:01:08,234 --> 00:01:09,736
That was perfectly planted

-[bell rings]

19
00:01:17,043 --> 00:01:18,945
[Vic] The dream was so real,

20
00:01:19,012 --> 00:01:20,814
it had to come true

21
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:22,549
for Chance and Carter tonight.

22
00:01:26,186 --> 00:01:28,822
Good for Katana and Kayden,
but that was last week.

23
00:01:28,888 --> 00:01:30,890
Tonight, we have the rounds match.

24
00:01:30,957 --> 00:01:32,659
Which means I get to show the world

25
00:01:32,725 --> 00:01:35,361
I have the gift of the gab
and the gift of the jab.

-Close. Sting like a bee.
-Oh.

29
00:01:40,767 --> 00:01:42,869
Tonight's the night
I get to knock out Lee.

30
00:01:42,936 --> 00:01:44,070
And that's all it is.

31
00:01:44,137 --> 00:01:45,605
And that's all it's gonna be.

Trick Williams talks a lot, but tonight,

35
00:01:52,612 --> 00:01:54,180
I'll prove that yapping jaw of his

36
00:01:54,247 --> 00:01:57,417
is made of nothing but glass
when I knock his ass out.

37
00:01:58,585 --> 00:01:59,919
Tonight, I put Zoey Stark

38
00:01:59,986 --> 00:02:01,754
back on the shelf where she belongs

39
00:02:01,821 --> 00:02:03,890
when I eliminate her from this division,

40
00:02:03,957 --> 00:02:05,458
just like I eliminated

41
00:02:05,525 --> 00:02:07,327

she's gonna take me out

in the Women's Championship match?

all the roadblocks you like,

but nothing is going to stop me

48
00:02:19,939 --> 00:02:22,175
from that title at Heatwave.

Speaking of championships,

50
00:02:24,177 --> 00:02:26,913
Santos Escobar cost me two titles.

when he meets me face-to-face…

Introducing first, Kiana James.

60
00:02:56,676 --> 00:02:58,878
[Vic] What a way
to kick things off tonight.

61
00:02:58,945 --> 00:03:01,080
Wait Barrett, I do have to ask,

62
00:03:01,147 --> 00:03:05,051
has James crunched the numbers properly?

63
00:03:05,118 --> 00:03:07,387
Because she has a tall task ahead of her?

64
00:03:07,453 --> 00:03:09,289
[Wade] This is the smartest woman

65
00:03:09,355 --> 00:03:11,758
in the NXT women's locker room.

66
00:03:11,824 --> 00:03:16,296
I'll tell you this, regardless
of how this match turns out

67
00:03:16,362 --> 00:03:18,898
for Kiana James, in my opinion,
she's already won.

68
00:03:18,965 --> 00:03:21,467
She's got herself a marquee matchup

69
00:03:21,534 --> 00:03:25,405
against one of the fastest-rising names
in the division,

70
00:03:26,172 --> 00:03:29,242
and to me, this is one
what Kiana James needs.

71
00:03:29,309 --> 00:03:31,344
She needs spotlight right now.

72
00:03:31,411 --> 00:03:33,112
She needs to have eyeballs on her

73
00:03:33,179 --> 00:03:35,949
and she's managed to find a way
to get that done.

74
00:03:36,015 --> 00:03:38,384
[Nikkita Lyons' music plays]

75
00:03:48,261 --> 00:03:53,066
[Alicia] Her opponent, Nikkita Lyons.

76
00:03:53,633 --> 00:03:56,336
[Vic] Earlier today, Nikkita Lyons
alongside Zoey Stark

77
00:03:56,402 --> 00:04:00,373
talked about a very surprising
golden opportunity.

78
00:04:02,208 --> 00:04:03,309
Right now, Zoey and I,

79
00:04:03,376 --> 00:04:05,511
we're on different tracks in NXT,

80
00:04:05,578 --> 00:04:09,816
but this is an opportunity
of a lifetime in this tournament.

81
00:04:10,683 --> 00:04:12,485
Here's the way I see it.

82
00:04:12,552 --> 00:04:14,120
We have the advantage,

83
00:04:14,187 --> 00:04:16,122
we are we're the unknown team,

84
00:04:16,189 --> 00:04:18,224
and after we win those Tag Titles,

85
00:04:18,291 --> 00:04:20,093
everyone on Raw and SmackDown

86
00:04:20,159 --> 00:04:22,428
will know exactly who we are.

87
00:04:23,630 --> 00:04:25,765
[Vic] The tournament they're talking about

88
00:04:25,832 --> 00:04:28,468
is the WWE Women's Tag Team
Title Tournament,

89
00:04:28,534 --> 00:04:30,270
which began last night.

91

to advance to crown new champions.

92
00:04:34,374 --> 00:04:37,076
[Wade] Yes, what a crazy time
this must be.

93
00:04:37,143 --> 00:04:40,713
For Nikkita Lyons getting
an opportunity to compete for…

94
00:04:40,780 --> 00:04:41,614
[bell rings]

95
00:04:41,681 --> 00:04:45,018
…some of the biggest championships
in the game, on the global stage

96
00:04:45,084 --> 00:04:48,221
within 12 months
of debuting in this industry.

97
00:04:48,288 --> 00:04:51,057
That is almost unheard of,
congratulations to those two.

98
00:04:52,058 --> 00:04:54,727
[Vic] Well, the question to bring up is,

99
00:04:54,794 --> 00:04:55,828
I hate to ask,

100
00:04:56,596 --> 00:04:58,264
could Lyons be looking past James?

101
00:04:58,331 --> 00:05:00,833
-[Wade] Possibly.
-[Vic] Looking towards that tournament.

102
00:05:00,900 --> 00:05:03,770
[Wade] Let's be honest,
it's hard not to have your head turn

103
00:05:03,836 --> 00:05:06,005
when Raw and SmackDown management

104
00:05:06,072 --> 00:05:08,408
come a-knocking
and there's gold on the line.

105
00:05:08,474 --> 00:05:10,343
I'll tell you this, if Nikkita Lyons

106
00:05:10,410 --> 00:05:14,080
isn't 100% focused on Kiana James tonight,

107
00:05:14,147 --> 00:05:16,816
looking at this start,
you might be right, she isn't.

108
00:05:16,883 --> 00:05:19,852
James might have her own breakout moment

109
00:05:19,919 --> 00:05:21,521
in front of our very eyes.

110
00:05:21,587 --> 00:05:23,423
[Vic] James claims that Lyons
doesn't fit the mold

111
00:05:23,489 --> 00:05:25,692
what a woman in this world should be.

112
00:05:25,758 --> 00:05:28,061
I see Nikkita Lyons, I see someone strong,

113
00:05:28,127 --> 00:05:29,696
confident, skillful, a fighter.

114
00:05:29,762 --> 00:05:32,465
Those sound like
some good characteristics to me.

115
00:05:32,532 --> 00:05:35,468
[Wade] Yes, it's a bit of trash
to talk from Kiana James.

116
00:05:35,535 --> 00:05:37,370
I get it, trying to get into that head

117
00:05:37,437 --> 00:05:39,839
of an opponent, trying claim…

118
00:05:39,906 --> 00:05:41,774
A pretty big scalp in this division.

119
00:05:41,841 --> 00:05:43,543
That's some nice tactics early on,

120
00:05:43,609 --> 00:05:47,280
but call that Nikita Lyons
did injure that left knee previously,

121
00:05:47,347 --> 00:05:49,716
kept her out of the Women's
Breakout Tournament.

122
00:05:49,782 --> 00:05:52,452
[Vic] Not just injuring it,
she had a partial tear in her left knee.

123
00:05:52,518 --> 00:05:53,786
[Wade] And you know what?

124
00:05:53,853 --> 00:05:55,621
Her strikes are the main part

125
00:05:55,688 --> 00:05:58,458
so Kiana James clearly does her homework

126
00:05:58,524 --> 00:06:00,326
and take another look at this knee.

127
00:06:00,393 --> 00:06:01,728
Talented offense.

128
00:06:01,794 --> 00:06:03,896
How the hell can Nikkita Lyons
put you down

129
00:06:03,963 --> 00:06:05,732
if she can't utilize those strikes?

130
00:06:05,798 --> 00:06:08,634
[Vic] We've talked about a lottery
upfront of this matchup,

131
00:06:08,701 --> 00:06:11,070
that WWE Women's
Tag Team Title Tournament.

132
00:06:11,137 --> 00:06:13,539
I got to admit, that adds some fuel

133
00:06:13,606 --> 00:06:14,774
to Kiana James tonight.

134
00:06:14,841 --> 00:06:17,143
She's got extra fuel
tonight into this matchup.

135
00:06:17,210 --> 00:06:19,312
[Wade] Not only that.
You talk about the…

136
00:06:19,378 --> 00:06:22,382
Oh, here we go, another look
at some more offense there

137
00:06:22,448 --> 00:06:24,550
from Kiana James. It's looking real nasty.

138
00:06:24,617 --> 00:06:26,052
Completely targeted attack.

139
00:06:26,119 --> 00:06:28,287
You talk about that breakout tournament.

140
00:06:28,354 --> 00:06:30,857
It was the women's
battle royal that you mentioned.

141
00:06:30,923 --> 00:06:33,493
Eliminated by Nikkita Lyons

142
00:06:33,559 --> 00:06:35,294
was Kiana James, so you're right,

143
00:06:35,361 --> 00:06:37,563
there's a bit of love lost
between these two.

144
00:06:37,630 --> 00:06:39,432
[Vic] Oh, and the injured knee again.

145
00:06:39,499 --> 00:06:40,900
The damage has been done

146
00:06:40,967 --> 00:06:42,635
and now how much more damage

147
00:06:42,702 --> 00:06:44,537
has been done to the knee of Lyons?

148
00:06:44,604 --> 00:06:46,539
You gotta wonder,
somewhere Zoey's preparing

149
00:06:46,606 --> 00:06:47,940
for a huge matchup tonight.

150
00:06:48,007 --> 00:06:49,509
Cover by James, and a kick out.

151
00:06:49,575 --> 00:06:50,643
Zoey Stark competing,

152
00:06:50,710 --> 00:06:53,679
getting ready for her championship
opportunity against Mandy Rose

153
00:06:53,746 --> 00:06:55,348
next Tuesday at NXT Heatwave.

154
00:06:55,414 --> 00:06:56,816
[crowd claps]

155
00:06:56,883 --> 00:06:58,985
[Vic] Zoey has to watch
this matchup going,

156
00:06:59,051 --> 00:07:00,887
Nikkita's got to get out of it 100%.

157
00:07:00,953 --> 00:07:03,856
[Wade] Her future is tied
into the future of Nikkita Lyons.

158
00:07:03,923 --> 00:07:06,659
But Nikkita Lyons comes out
of this one not 100%,

159
00:07:06,726 --> 00:07:09,395
you can call the chances,
perhaps of Zoey Stark's

160
00:07:09,462 --> 00:07:12,265
in that Tag Team Tournament,
are really going up in smoke.

161
00:07:12,331 --> 00:07:14,767
[Vic] As you mentioned,
Zoey one-on-one with Jade

162
00:07:14,834 --> 00:07:16,235
later tonight live on NXT.

163
00:07:16,302 --> 00:07:19,205
You've been waiting
for this moment, the final accord.

164
00:07:19,272 --> 00:07:21,841
[Wade] The whole world
has been waiting for this.

165
00:07:21,908 --> 00:07:24,510
What could possibly go wrong when you have

166
00:07:24,577 --> 00:07:28,314
Tony D'Angelo and Santos Escobar
in a room together?

167
00:07:28,381 --> 00:07:30,750
[Vic] Let's talk about
being in a room together.

168
00:07:30,817 --> 00:07:34,487
Look how the crank of James
on the left knee of Lyons.

169
00:07:34,554 --> 00:07:35,488
Did you see how…

170
00:07:35,555 --> 00:07:37,857
The body's not supposed to bend that way.

171
00:07:37,924 --> 00:07:40,760
[Wade] Well, it is
if you've got a torn MCL.

172
00:07:42,295 --> 00:07:44,864
Lyons now just trying
her best to fight back in,

173
00:07:44,931 --> 00:07:47,600
but Lyons is wounded.
James trying to take advantage.

174
00:07:47,667 --> 00:07:49,335
Lyons trying to fight back,

175
00:07:49,402 --> 00:07:51,070
and Lyons using that injured leg.

176
00:07:51,137 --> 00:07:52,705
Hurt herself in the process.

177
00:07:52,772 --> 00:07:55,208
[Wade] Yes, talk about her,
the tough upbringing

178
00:07:55,274 --> 00:07:58,845
that Nikkita Lyons had.
She's now roaring in the ring.

179
00:07:58,911 --> 00:08:01,180
Wouldn't be the fighter she is today

180
00:08:01,247 --> 00:08:04,584
without that upbringing
if she'd had had a cushy life.

181
00:08:04,650 --> 00:08:07,520
[Vic] You mentioned
the knee injury, the striking ability.

182
00:08:07,587 --> 00:08:11,290
Not the same sort of pep
in the step for Nikkita Lyons

183
00:08:11,357 --> 00:08:13,259
thus for as she's trying her best

184
00:08:13,326 --> 00:08:15,595
at this juncture
to fight through the pain.

185
00:08:15,661 --> 00:08:17,230
Into the cover, hook of the leg.

186
00:08:17,296 --> 00:08:19,765
Just getting her hand
on the bottom rope…

187
00:08:19,832 --> 00:08:22,435
-[Wade] Smart!
-[Vic] The scientific Kiana James.

188
00:08:22,501 --> 00:08:24,003
[Wade] Incredibly intelligent,

189
00:08:24,070 --> 00:08:27,173
great ring awareness there
from Kiana James.

190
00:08:27,240 --> 00:08:29,876
Nikkita Lyons bringing out
some new offense.

191
00:08:29,942 --> 00:08:31,777
Constantly developing and growing.

192
00:08:31,844 --> 00:08:33,379
[Vic] Whoa. From behind.

193
00:08:33,446 --> 00:08:34,614
James with the rope.

194
00:08:35,114 --> 00:08:37,817
[Wade] Rope-assisted pin
wasn't quite enough.

195
00:08:37,884 --> 00:08:40,119
[Vic] Good job by the official,
and luck, for Nikkita Lyons,

196
00:08:40,186 --> 00:08:42,588
she said she will not change for anyone.

197
00:08:42,655 --> 00:08:45,091
Oh, she might have just changed

198
00:08:45,157 --> 00:08:48,461
the mind of James with one kick, and oh!

199
00:08:49,629 --> 00:08:51,731
[crowd yells] One, two, three!

200
00:08:51,797 --> 00:08:53,966
-[bell rings]
-[Nikkita Lyons' music plays]

201
00:08:54,033 --> 00:08:55,801
[Vic] Huge win for Lyons.

202
00:08:55,868 --> 00:08:58,704
[Alicia] Here is your winner,
Nikkita Lyons.

203
00:08:58,771 --> 00:09:01,340
[Vic] You talk about building momentum

204
00:09:02,174 --> 00:09:05,578
towards the WWE
Women's Tag Team Title Tournament.

205
00:09:05,645 --> 00:09:08,214
[Wade] Picking herself back up
to top form.

206
00:09:08,281 --> 00:09:10,182
-Take another look at this. Bam!
-[Vic] Bam.

207
00:09:10,249 --> 00:09:12,952
[Wade] Who you are?
An NXT, Raw, or SmackDown,

208
00:09:13,019 --> 00:09:15,955
that connects it is game over,
and of course

209
00:09:16,022 --> 00:09:19,058
that augurs well
for the chances of Nikkita Lyons

210
00:09:19,125 --> 00:09:22,495
developing into a future WWE.

211
00:09:22,562 --> 00:09:23,629
-[Wade] Oh!
-[Vic] Oh!

212
00:09:24,630 --> 00:09:27,266
No one makes me look stupid.

213
00:09:27,333 --> 00:09:30,836
[crowd boos]

214
00:09:30,903 --> 00:09:34,807
-Use your brains.
-[Vic] What a cheap shot from James.

215
00:09:34,874 --> 00:09:38,411
[crowd boos]

216
00:09:42,548 --> 00:09:45,518
[Vic] …is this what I think it is?

217
00:09:45,584 --> 00:09:49,188
-Brutus smash.
-Smash, smash.

218
00:09:49,255 --> 00:09:50,923
I love it. I love to see it.

219
00:09:50,990 --> 00:09:52,692
-Thank you.
-No, but for real, man.

220
00:09:52,758 --> 00:09:55,561
Thank you for taking time
and watch this with us.

221
00:09:55,628 --> 00:09:57,930
You see things
that we don't pick up on yet,

222
00:09:57,997 --> 00:09:59,665
but hopefully, with some time we will.

223
00:09:59,732 --> 00:10:01,934
You guys got it.
Like I said, I'm a huge fan.

224
00:10:02,001 --> 00:10:04,804
I'm loving what you're doing.
It was an honor to be here.

225
00:10:04,870 --> 00:10:05,972
What the hell is this?

226
00:10:06,038 --> 00:10:08,240
This is film. We're watching.

227
00:10:08,307 --> 00:10:11,410
I know what this is,
but what the hell is this right here?

228
00:10:11,477 --> 00:10:14,680
I think the better question
is where the hell were you last week?

229
00:10:14,747 --> 00:10:16,949
You said you were gonna be
out there with us,

230
00:10:17,016 --> 00:10:18,184
and then you no-showed.

231
00:10:18,250 --> 00:10:19,719
I would never no-showed.

232
00:10:19,785 --> 00:10:21,687
I never even planned on being there.

233
00:10:21,754 --> 00:10:23,689
It was a test and you guys passed.

234
00:10:24,256 --> 00:10:26,692
You guys have a game plan
that you needed me

235
00:10:26,759 --> 00:10:28,294
and obviously you didn't.

236
00:10:28,361 --> 00:10:30,463
You retained the titles all by yourself.

237
00:10:30,529 --> 00:10:33,566
It was a test and you passed,
and I am proud.

238
00:10:33,632 --> 00:10:36,002
Screw the test, Roddy, you lied to us.

239
00:10:36,068 --> 00:10:38,604
He's right. We can argue,
we can even fight,

240
00:10:38,671 --> 00:10:40,239
but we don't lie to each other.

241
00:10:40,306 --> 00:10:42,575
That's not what we do in Diamond Mine.

242
00:10:42,641 --> 00:10:45,011
I do have to say I agree,
it was pretty shady.

243
00:10:45,077 --> 00:10:46,679
-You gotta admit it.
-Thank you.

244
00:10:46,746 --> 00:10:48,047
-Shady?
-It was Shady.

245
00:10:48,114 --> 00:10:49,782
What the hell are you doing here, Apollo?

246
00:10:49,849 --> 00:10:51,517
You can't be in Diamond Mine.

247
00:10:51,584 --> 00:10:52,885
-I can't watch film?
-No!

248
00:10:52,952 --> 00:10:54,887
You know what, I have a better idea.

249
00:10:54,954 --> 00:10:56,689
How about we take this film down,

250
00:10:56,756 --> 00:10:59,525
put that film up from two weeks ago
of that six-man tag.

251
00:10:59,592 --> 00:11:02,161
Watch that a bit closer.
How do you feel about that?

252
00:11:02,228 --> 00:11:03,829
"How do you feel about that?"

253
00:11:03,896 --> 00:11:06,098
How about I beat
the piss out of you tonight,

254
00:11:06,165 --> 00:11:09,568
and next week we watch that film
over and over and over.

255
00:11:09,635 --> 00:11:11,871
I would love to see that film, man.

256
00:11:11,937 --> 00:11:14,240
-Cool, relax.
-Listen.

257
00:11:14,306 --> 00:11:16,308
Your two new best friends right here?

258
00:11:16,375 --> 00:11:18,244
They're not gonna be in your corner now.

259
00:11:18,310 --> 00:11:19,679
They're going to be in mine

260
00:11:19,745 --> 00:11:21,914
because it's Diamond Mine forever!

261
00:11:21,981 --> 00:11:23,716
I'm gonna get that match made.

262
00:11:23,783 --> 00:11:25,051
-Do that.
-That's for you.

263
00:11:25,117 --> 00:11:26,619
Yeah. Thank you. Great.

264
00:11:27,653 --> 00:11:29,522
You know what? Apollo has been trying

265
00:11:29,588 --> 00:11:32,458
to stir up trouble in the Diamond Mine
for the past weeks.

266
00:11:32,525 --> 00:11:35,261
Sounds like he's gonna
pay the price for that tonight.

267
00:11:35,327 --> 00:11:37,129
We'll see if that matchup
gets made official.

268
00:11:37,196 --> 00:11:38,664
What we do know is official

269
00:11:38,731 --> 00:11:40,666
is a matchup coming up
in just a matter of moments.

270
00:11:40,733 --> 00:11:44,603
For the first time ever here
in NXT 2.0, a rounds match.

271
00:11:44,670 --> 00:11:47,973
There you see the rules
as Wes Lee will take on Trick Williams.

272
00:11:48,040 --> 00:11:50,810
This is one of the most unique matches
we can ever see.

273
00:11:50,876 --> 00:11:53,612
[Wade] Yes. The first
couple of years of my own career,

274
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,782
I competed exclusively in rounds matches.

275
00:11:56,849 --> 00:11:59,618
Key to this game is strategy.

276
00:11:59,685 --> 00:12:01,687
I cannot wait for the rounds match.

277
00:12:01,754 --> 00:12:04,090
[rock music plays]

278
00:12:05,391 --> 00:12:08,160
[Wes Lee's music plays]

279
00:12:13,566 --> 00:12:15,067
[crowd cheers]

280
00:12:15,134 --> 00:12:17,369
[Vic] We talk about strategy,

281
00:12:17,436 --> 00:12:20,973
you see Wes Lee is wearing boxing gloves?

282
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:23,209
Is this part of Wes Lee's strategy?

283
00:12:23,275 --> 00:12:25,344
We'll find out when we come back

284
00:12:25,411 --> 00:12:26,912
because it's the rounds match.

285
00:12:26,979 --> 00:12:30,483
Williams Lee next here on NXT.

286
00:12:32,051 --> 00:12:34,086
[crowd boos]

287
00:12:34,153 --> 00:12:36,055
Damn, where are you at?

288
00:12:36,622 --> 00:12:38,624
Girl, we got reservations.

289
00:12:38,691 --> 00:12:41,660
Girl, I gotta go.
I'll reach you at the spot. Bye.

290
00:12:41,727 --> 00:12:44,130
Malik, Malik,
let me holler at you for a second.

291
00:12:44,196 --> 00:12:45,765
-You got a second?
-Oh, yes.

292
00:12:45,831 --> 00:12:47,600
Where is your boy, Edris?

293
00:12:47,666 --> 00:12:49,135
-Oh, he--
-It don't matter

294
00:12:49,201 --> 00:12:50,903
because I don't like him,
between me and you.

295
00:12:50,970 --> 00:12:52,371
But did you see my match last week

296
00:12:52,438 --> 00:12:53,906
between me and Alba Fyre?

297
00:12:53,973 --> 00:12:55,508
-Yes.
-Yes, of course, you did.

298
00:12:55,574 --> 00:12:58,310
So, your girl was looking
super fly like always,

299
00:12:58,377 --> 00:12:59,645
then my music hits.

300
00:12:59,712 --> 00:13:02,081
You know? Then, I come out,
I'm looking good,

301
00:13:02,148 --> 00:13:04,283
I look so good as always, and then,

302
00:13:04,350 --> 00:13:06,952
you see the fan with the poster,
"we don't like him".

303
00:13:07,019 --> 00:13:08,988
I was just like, "oh, adiós, bye-bye."

304
00:13:09,054 --> 00:13:10,456
Got in the ring…

305
00:13:10,523 --> 00:13:11,991
[Wade] What? Go back to Lash.

306
00:13:12,057 --> 00:13:13,959
I wanted to hear what Lash had to say.

307
00:13:15,828 --> 00:13:17,796
[Trick Williams' music plays]

308
00:13:19,532 --> 00:13:21,400
[crowd cheers]

309
00:13:35,080 --> 00:13:38,918
I'm here. I'm always here.

310
00:13:38,984 --> 00:13:41,420
[Vic] Well, unfortunately,
we're gonna have to move

311
00:13:41,487 --> 00:13:44,390
from Lash Legend because we have
a rounds match in.

312
00:13:44,456 --> 00:13:46,659
Take a look at Wes Lee and Trick Williams,

313
00:13:46,725 --> 00:13:48,961
both wearing gloves.
This isn't a boxing match!

314
00:13:49,028 --> 00:13:51,597
This is a rounds match,
and Trick Williams thinks

315
00:13:51,664 --> 00:13:53,632
he's the second coming up Muhammad Ali.

316
00:13:53,699 --> 00:13:55,401
[Wade] Trick Williams, Trick Willy

317
00:13:55,467 --> 00:13:56,869
as we should be calling him,

318
00:13:56,936 --> 00:13:59,538
may well be the second
coming of Muhammad Ali.

319
00:13:59,605 --> 00:14:01,340
What a man, what a mega star.

320
00:14:02,942 --> 00:14:04,276
[bell rings]

321
00:14:04,343 --> 00:14:07,179
[Alicia] The following is a rounds match.

322
00:14:07,246 --> 00:14:10,182
The rules of the match are as follows.

323
00:14:10,249 --> 00:14:12,418
There are six three-minute rounds

324
00:14:12,484 --> 00:14:15,087
with a 20-second break between each round.

325
00:14:15,154 --> 00:14:18,791
Falls can be won by pinfall,
submission or count out.

326
00:14:18,858 --> 00:14:21,994
Once a fall occurs, the round ends.

327
00:14:22,061 --> 00:14:23,696
The match ends

328
00:14:23,762 --> 00:14:26,498
when one superstar has won two falls.

329
00:14:26,565 --> 00:14:29,602
In the event
of a disqualification or knockout,

330
00:14:29,668 --> 00:14:32,705
the match is instantly over.

331
00:14:33,339 --> 00:14:35,040
Introducing first,

332
00:14:35,107 --> 00:14:38,477
Wes Lee.

333
00:14:38,544 --> 00:14:40,613
[crowd cheers, boos]

334
00:14:45,651 --> 00:14:46,952
[Alicia] And his opponent,

335
00:14:47,519 --> 00:14:50,689
accompanied by the NXT
North American champion, Carmelo Hayes,

336
00:14:50,756 --> 00:14:54,693
Trick Williams!

337
00:14:54,760 --> 00:14:56,495
[crowd cheers, boos]

338
00:14:57,296 --> 00:14:59,565
[Vic] Williams has said he is looking

339
00:15:00,132 --> 00:15:02,735
for the knockout here tonight.

340
00:15:02,801 --> 00:15:04,870
When you take a look at these superstars,

341
00:15:04,937 --> 00:15:07,039
no doubt who has the reach, the height,

342
00:15:07,106 --> 00:15:08,474
who has the size advantage.

343
00:15:08,540 --> 00:15:10,376
In your opinion, who has the advantage?

344
00:15:10,442 --> 00:15:12,211
[Wade] Come on. It's not even close.

345
00:15:12,278 --> 00:15:14,079
It has to be Trick Willy.

346
00:15:14,146 --> 00:15:16,315
He is used to take it on grapplers.

347
00:15:16,382 --> 00:15:18,450
-[bell rings]
-[Wade] He's also used to boxing.

348
00:15:18,517 --> 00:15:20,452
Wes Lee can't box, it's that simple.

349
00:15:20,519 --> 00:15:22,154
[Vic] Here we go. As we've noted,

350
00:15:22,221 --> 00:15:25,291
the time limit has already started,
trickled down and…

351
00:15:25,357 --> 00:15:28,327
Trick Williams better start taking
this more seriously

352
00:15:28,394 --> 00:15:29,862
than goof around Wes Lee now.

353
00:15:29,929 --> 00:15:31,030
[Wade] …put a show on.

354
00:15:31,096 --> 00:15:32,331
He's gonna win the match,

355
00:15:32,398 --> 00:15:33,933
and he's gonna do it in style.

356
00:15:33,999 --> 00:15:36,468
Wes Lee's already tasted
the knockout power

357
00:15:36,535 --> 00:15:38,904
of Trick Willy
and he's about to taste it again.

358
00:15:38,971 --> 00:15:41,540
We keep talking about this being
a six rounds match,

359
00:15:41,607 --> 00:15:43,909
it ain't going to go that far.
One-round chaos.

360
00:15:43,976 --> 00:15:45,711
[Vic] This is not a boxing match.

361
00:15:45,778 --> 00:15:48,514
You can win by pinfall,
submission or count out.

362
00:15:48,580 --> 00:15:51,317
I hope the official
had a little talk with Williams

363
00:15:51,383 --> 00:15:54,219
ahead of time and checked
those gloves for rubbing alcohol.

364
00:15:54,286 --> 00:15:55,654
[Wade] You're still on that.

365
00:15:55,721 --> 00:15:58,090
It was water,
we clarified that a long time ago.

366
00:15:58,157 --> 00:15:59,758
[crowd cheers]

367
00:16:00,726 --> 00:16:02,795
[Vic] There we see the corner man almost,

368
00:16:02,861 --> 00:16:05,230
that being Carmelo Hayes,
still to come tonight,

369
00:16:05,297 --> 00:16:07,299
Apollo Crews and Roderick Strong.

370
00:16:07,366 --> 00:16:09,268
It's official after what we witnessed.

371
00:16:09,335 --> 00:16:10,936
What a matchup that's gonna be.

372
00:16:11,003 --> 00:16:14,106
We're focusing in on this rounds match,
and a knockout ends it.

373
00:16:14,173 --> 00:16:15,774
We're not gonna have
six three-minute rounds

374
00:16:15,841 --> 00:16:17,443
if one of these two gets knocked out.

375
00:16:17,509 --> 00:16:19,912
-[Wade] Lee looks terrified…
-[Vic] Doesn't look terrified.

376
00:16:19,978 --> 00:16:21,180
[Wade] …those right hands of Willy.

377
00:16:21,246 --> 00:16:22,147
He's tasted them before.

378
00:16:22,214 --> 00:16:23,415
He got knocked out two weeks ago.

379
00:16:23,482 --> 00:16:24,917
[Vic] It was a cheap shot,
if you don't remember it.

380
00:16:24,983 --> 00:16:25,818
Now look at this.

381
00:16:25,884 --> 00:16:27,386
Trick Williams
hasn't been able to connect,

382
00:16:27,453 --> 00:16:29,955
and Lee going to the body,
trying to crush the ribs.

383
00:16:30,022 --> 00:16:31,790
[Wade] Here's the problem
in this kind of match.

384
00:16:31,857 --> 00:16:34,159
-[Vic] What a take down.
-[Wade] Beautiful take down.

385
00:16:34,226 --> 00:16:35,995
[Wade] These are hybrid wolves tonight.

386
00:16:36,061 --> 00:16:38,163
[Vic] Wes Lee came to scrap,
came to fight.

387
00:16:38,230 --> 00:16:41,333
He's got a lot of pent-up aggression
that he'd love to unleash.

388
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:43,635
It's been a tough year for Wes Lee.

389
00:16:43,702 --> 00:16:46,305
As you see, about 90 seconds left
in fall number one.

390
00:16:46,372 --> 00:16:48,340
[Wade] Wes Lee desperately trying

391
00:16:48,407 --> 00:16:50,442
to clinch onto trick Williams here,

392
00:16:50,509 --> 00:16:51,744
closing that distance.

393
00:16:51,810 --> 00:16:54,913
Look at the reach of Trick Williams,
long limbs, great jab.

394
00:16:55,914 --> 00:16:58,050
[Vic] Wes Lee's
got a lot be fired up about.

395
00:16:58,117 --> 00:17:00,919
We talked about Williams cheating
at Great American Bash.

396
00:17:00,986 --> 00:17:04,890
As you called it, knocking him
out against Grayson Waller.

397
00:17:04,957 --> 00:17:07,426
Oh, right back.

398
00:17:07,493 --> 00:17:10,195
You're gonna see
a couple of take downs in this matchup.

399
00:17:10,262 --> 00:17:12,698
So far, it's been a slow, methodical pace.

400
00:17:12,765 --> 00:17:15,467
[Wade] It's been all Trick Willy.
Here's the problem--

401
00:17:15,534 --> 00:17:16,969
Here's the problem in this--

402
00:17:17,036 --> 00:17:18,070
[Vic] What a knee!

403
00:17:19,738 --> 00:17:22,975
That knee just slowed Williams.
Now going to the body.

404
00:17:23,041 --> 00:17:26,245
[Wade] Opening up the defense of Wes Lee.

405
00:17:26,311 --> 00:17:29,381
and now going to town,
softening the manna.

406
00:17:29,448 --> 00:17:32,017
This is like watching a heavyweight
against a lightweight.

407
00:17:32,084 --> 00:17:33,886
Mike Tyson versus Manny Pacquiao.

408
00:17:33,952 --> 00:17:36,755
There's only gonna be one winner
in a scenario like that.

409
00:17:36,822 --> 00:17:37,990
[Vic] According to my calculation,

410
00:17:38,057 --> 00:17:41,527
the clock continuing to count
inside of 40 seconds left in round one.

411
00:17:41,593 --> 00:17:42,728
Now look at Lee.

412
00:17:42,795 --> 00:17:45,097
Lee going to the jaw.
Lee going to the body!

413
00:17:45,164 --> 00:17:46,298
[Wade] Caught him on the break.

414
00:17:46,365 --> 00:17:48,934
[Vic] Lee trying to chop down
Trick Willy right now.

415
00:17:49,001 --> 00:17:50,269
They're right back in.

416
00:17:50,335 --> 00:17:52,504
Thirty seconds and counting,

417
00:17:52,571 --> 00:17:54,039
and again, you can imagine

418
00:17:54,106 --> 00:17:55,908
Wes Lee, every right, every left,

419
00:17:55,974 --> 00:17:57,910
every kick, every jab, every hook,

420
00:17:57,976 --> 00:17:59,578
every power-punch,

421
00:17:59,645 --> 00:18:02,981
he is just letting out everything
so far in 2022,

422
00:18:03,048 --> 00:18:05,217
as now we see 10 seconds. Look at Lee.

423
00:18:05,284 --> 00:18:07,219
Lee now has Williams on the ropes.

424
00:18:07,286 --> 00:18:08,854
If Lee's able to knock out Williams,

425
00:18:08,921 --> 00:18:10,322
this match is gonna end
in the first round.

426
00:18:10,389 --> 00:18:12,458
We got five seconds, continuing to count.

427
00:18:12,524 --> 00:18:13,492
Lee's starting to explode.

428
00:18:13,559 --> 00:18:15,727
Is Lee gonna be able
to take down Williams?

429
00:18:15,794 --> 00:18:19,198
-[Vic] And Williams get saved by the bell.
-[bell rings]

430
00:18:19,264 --> 00:18:21,400
[Vic] He got saved by the bell, Barrett.

431
00:18:21,467 --> 00:18:22,367
[Wade] No.

432
00:18:22,434 --> 00:18:25,270
That referee should've gotten
in between the two fighters.

433
00:18:25,871 --> 00:18:27,706
-Let's do it!
-Come on, come on.

434
00:18:27,773 --> 00:18:29,408
[hip hop music plays]

435
00:18:29,475 --> 00:18:30,609
Come on now!

436
00:18:31,276 --> 00:18:32,744
[indistinct]

437
00:18:32,811 --> 00:18:33,712
Whoop his ass!

438
00:18:33,779 --> 00:18:35,047
Knock him the hell out.

439
00:18:35,114 --> 00:18:36,348
[Vic] Well, you saw it.

440
00:18:36,415 --> 00:18:38,684
Carmelo Hayes
took the gloves off of Williams.

441
00:18:38,750 --> 00:18:40,219
Lee threw the gloves off too.

442
00:18:40,285 --> 00:18:42,187
[Wade] There was an issue
with Trick Williams' gloves.

443
00:18:42,254 --> 00:18:43,889
That explains the end of that round.

444
00:18:43,956 --> 00:18:46,158
[Vic] Well, this is the start
of round number two,

445
00:18:46,225 --> 00:18:49,161
and now strategy might switch up
because it appears Trick Williams

446
00:18:49,228 --> 00:18:51,864
who thinks he's such a great boxer
just abandoned his game.

447
00:18:51,930 --> 00:18:53,365
[Wade] Hang on a second.

448
00:18:53,432 --> 00:18:56,268
The break is supposed to be
one minute in boxing, not 20 seconds.

449
00:18:56,335 --> 00:18:57,469
[Vic] 20 seconds, that's the rules.

450
00:18:57,536 --> 00:18:58,504
You heard it from Alicia Taylor

451
00:18:58,570 --> 00:19:00,639
who's also on the graph
if you were paying attention.

452
00:19:00,706 --> 00:19:03,308
[Wade] Give trick Williams
a breather here.

453
00:19:03,375 --> 00:19:04,476
[Vic] No breathing.

454
00:19:04,543 --> 00:19:05,677
And Wes Lee right now,

455
00:19:05,744 --> 00:19:08,547
is continuing to drive the air
out of the lungs of Williams.

456
00:19:09,648 --> 00:19:12,918
Now we're going to see
that acrobatic style of Lee!

457
00:19:12,985 --> 00:19:14,253
Taking form,

458
00:19:15,287 --> 00:19:17,689
right in front
of the North American champion.

459
00:19:19,224 --> 00:19:21,560
You can feel that momentum
starting to swing.

460
00:19:21,627 --> 00:19:23,996
Wait a minute, referee doesn't see

461
00:19:24,062 --> 00:19:26,198
Carmelo Hayes' interference.

462
00:19:26,765 --> 00:19:27,666
Oh.

463
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:29,935
[Wade] Oh, that's a KO.

464
00:19:30,469 --> 00:19:33,605
[Vic] Well, it might not be a KO,
but it certainly is a pinfall,

465
00:19:33,672 --> 00:19:35,040
and the first decision

466
00:19:36,108 --> 00:19:37,209
goes to Trick Williams

467
00:19:37,276 --> 00:19:41,046
in less than 60 seconds into round two.

468
00:19:41,113 --> 00:19:43,615
It is now one-nothing Williams.

469
00:19:44,216 --> 00:19:46,051
Round three is moments away…

470
00:19:46,118 --> 00:19:48,887
[electronic music plays]

471
00:19:51,323 --> 00:19:54,126
[Vic] Back live on NXT.
As we witnessed during the break,

472
00:19:54,193 --> 00:19:55,827
there is no fall on round three,

473
00:19:55,894 --> 00:19:57,362
but now you see Carmelo,

474
00:19:57,429 --> 00:20:01,967
he's pleading with Trick Williams
to put back on one glove?

475
00:20:02,534 --> 00:20:04,870
[Wade] There was an issue
with the gloves in round--

476
00:20:04,937 --> 00:20:07,039
[Vic] Whoa. From behind.

477
00:20:07,639 --> 00:20:10,475
[Wade] The issue has apparently
been resolved now, and now

478
00:20:10,542 --> 00:20:13,679
Williams once again looking for
that haymaker, he's going southpaw.

479
00:20:13,745 --> 00:20:15,714
[Vic] Why wouldn't he put on two gloves?

480
00:20:15,781 --> 00:20:17,749
If everything was fine with the gloves?

481
00:20:17,816 --> 00:20:18,817
You don't even know.

482
00:20:18,884 --> 00:20:20,519
[Wade] The other one isn't fixed yet.

483
00:20:20,586 --> 00:20:22,921
[Vic] Right now, Lee goes up.
Goes over. Shoulders are down, near fall.

484
00:20:22,988 --> 00:20:25,123
Look, Lee needs to pick up a victory

485
00:20:25,190 --> 00:20:27,960
sooner rather than later
because he is down one fall

486
00:20:28,026 --> 00:20:30,028
to none and we are in round four.

487
00:20:30,095 --> 00:20:31,129
Here in this rounds match,

488
00:20:31,196 --> 00:20:32,864
which is only six rounds.

489
00:20:32,931 --> 00:20:34,967
[Wade] Next fall for Trick
and this one is over.

490
00:20:35,033 --> 00:20:37,169
Let's face it, it has been one-way traffic

491
00:20:37,235 --> 00:20:38,737
ever since that first fall.

492
00:20:38,804 --> 00:20:40,505
-[Vic] Oh, nasty.
-[Wade] Oh!

493
00:20:40,572 --> 00:20:43,642
[Vic] Talk about the rounds match,
nearly two years ago NXT UK

494
00:20:43,709 --> 00:20:45,644
crowned the heritage cup champion
which is defended

495
00:20:45,711 --> 00:20:49,281
under these sort of rules currently
held by Mark Coffey from Dallas,

496
00:20:49,348 --> 00:20:51,950
but this is definitely
a different ball game tonight.

497
00:20:52,017 --> 00:20:54,019
Another big left.

498
00:20:54,086 --> 00:20:55,621
Three misses in a row,

499
00:20:55,687 --> 00:20:58,824
now Lee has got to figure out
something to get off the back foot.

500
00:20:58,890 --> 00:21:01,226
[Wade] Lee ducking
and diving for his life.

501
00:21:01,293 --> 00:21:03,161
[Vic] Crucifix pin, shoulders down.

502
00:21:03,228 --> 00:21:04,930
-[indistinct]
-[bell rings]

503
00:21:04,997 --> 00:21:07,299
-[Wade] This foot was on the ropes.
-[Vic] That's huge.

504
00:21:07,366 --> 00:21:08,867
[Vic] Oh, what the hell?

505
00:21:08,934 --> 00:21:10,502
[Wade] That's a KO!

506
00:21:10,569 --> 00:21:12,437
-[Wade] He's out!
-[Vic] What do you mean a KO?

507
00:21:12,504 --> 00:21:14,006
[Vic] It's after the bell, Barrett.

508
00:21:14,072 --> 00:21:15,274
[Wade] The match has to be over.

509
00:21:15,340 --> 00:21:16,575
[Vic] That's a cheap shot.

510
00:21:16,642 --> 00:21:18,377
[Wade] One KO and the match was over.

511
00:21:18,443 --> 00:21:19,845
[crowd cheers]

512
00:21:22,347 --> 00:21:24,583
[Vic] Twenty seconds,
of course's gonna go…

513
00:21:24,650 --> 00:21:26,385
How can Wes Lee continue?

514
00:21:26,451 --> 00:21:29,554
[Wade] If he's still down at the end
of this 20-second break…

515
00:21:29,621 --> 00:21:31,623
-[Wade] It's a KO.
-[Vic] How is that fair?

516
00:21:31,690 --> 00:21:33,292
-[bell rings]
-[Vic] How's that fair?

517
00:21:33,358 --> 00:21:34,860
[Wade] Williams' feet were on the rope.

518
00:21:34,926 --> 00:21:36,194
Oh. There we go.

519
00:21:36,261 --> 00:21:38,463
[Vic] Yeah. Cheap shot.
Now the door is open

520
00:21:39,131 --> 00:21:40,932
for Trick Williams here in round five.

521
00:21:40,999 --> 00:21:43,335
Going into the cover, Wes Lee.

522
00:21:43,402 --> 00:21:45,137
Lee somehow able to kick out.

523
00:21:45,203 --> 00:21:48,106
[Wade] It's 1-1 but it shouldn't,
it should be 2-0 to Williams.

524
00:21:48,173 --> 00:21:50,108
[Vic] It shouldn't be 2-0.

525
00:21:50,175 --> 00:21:52,678
Trick Williams just dropped Lee

526
00:21:52,744 --> 00:21:54,846
in between rounds.

527
00:21:56,448 --> 00:21:58,383
Now is in firm control of this match.

528
00:21:58,450 --> 00:22:00,352
What more can you say?
I don't know how Wes Lee

529
00:22:00,419 --> 00:22:02,487
can battle back in this match,
the NXT universe

530
00:22:02,554 --> 00:22:04,790
that the air was lifted out of the arena.

531
00:22:04,856 --> 00:22:05,857
[Wade] Got a glass jaw,

532
00:22:05,924 --> 00:22:08,794
that's why he got completely dropped
from that hay ball.

533
00:22:08,860 --> 00:22:10,028
-[Vic] Oh.
-[Wade] Wow.

534
00:22:10,095 --> 00:22:12,431
[Vic] That right was underneath the jaw.

535
00:22:12,497 --> 00:22:15,100
Into the cover,
and another kick out by Lee.

536
00:22:15,167 --> 00:22:16,902
[Wade] How is Lee kicking out here?

537
00:22:16,968 --> 00:22:21,273
[Vic] Lee knows that the journey he's on,
this journey is a journey,

538
00:22:21,340 --> 00:22:24,843
it's not about what you can achieve,
it's about what you can become,

539
00:22:24,910 --> 00:22:29,014
and Wes Lee really is gonna have to go
and dig down deep here tonight.

540
00:22:29,081 --> 00:22:32,084
[Wade] Sometimes in boxing
fighting in life

541
00:22:32,150 --> 00:22:34,319
you just cannot win,
you have to take a dive.

542
00:22:34,386 --> 00:22:36,188
That is my advice to Wes Lee.

543
00:22:36,254 --> 00:22:38,657
[Vic] You're telling him to give up?
Take a dive?

544
00:22:38,724 --> 00:22:40,225
-[Wade] Exactly.
-[Vic] Unreal.

545
00:22:40,292 --> 00:22:42,427
[Wade] He can't beat Williams,
not now anyway.

546
00:22:42,494 --> 00:22:44,262
[Vic] Williams into the cover once,

547
00:22:44,329 --> 00:22:46,932
and another kick out again.

548
00:22:46,998 --> 00:22:50,802
The next person to secure a pinfall,
a submission, or even a count out.

549
00:22:50,869 --> 00:22:53,171
Or on the second fall and that second fall

550
00:22:53,238 --> 00:22:56,141
will give them the victory,
here in this rounds match.

551
00:22:56,208 --> 00:22:59,010
[Wade] Here's Wes Lee's problem,
he's been picking fights

552
00:22:59,077 --> 00:23:01,213
left, right, and center
in the locker room.

553
00:23:01,279 --> 00:23:04,649
He needs to be smarter,
he needs to pick fights that he can win.

554
00:23:04,716 --> 00:23:05,684
He cannot win this.

555
00:23:05,751 --> 00:23:07,719
[Vic] Another high-impact move,
another cover

556
00:23:07,786 --> 00:23:09,788
and another kick out by Wes Lee.

557
00:23:09,855 --> 00:23:12,691
What do you mean? Another cover.
This time Williams…

558
00:23:12,758 --> 00:23:15,227
again will put a little more
body weight onto Lee.

559
00:23:15,293 --> 00:23:16,728
What do you mean picking fights?

560
00:23:16,795 --> 00:23:18,430
[Wade] He's been picking fights
with everyone.

561
00:23:18,497 --> 00:23:19,464
[Vic] Who's he been picking fights with?

562
00:23:19,531 --> 00:23:21,199
[Wade] Williams, Carmelo, Waller.

563
00:23:21,266 --> 00:23:23,034
[Vic] Grayson Waller ran his mouth.

564
00:23:23,735 --> 00:23:25,337
What do you mean picking fights?

565
00:23:25,404 --> 00:23:26,371
[Wade] He snapped.

566
00:23:26,438 --> 00:23:28,407
-[Vic] Sixty seconds--
-[Wade] …another one.

567
00:23:28,473 --> 00:23:30,809
[Vic] …sixty seconds left
in round number 5.

568
00:23:30,876 --> 00:23:32,477
And wait a minute! Williams!

569
00:23:32,544 --> 00:23:34,846
-[Wade] That's a cheap shot.
-[Vic] It's not.

570
00:23:34,913 --> 00:23:36,581
[Vic] Lee now, the door has opened.

571
00:23:37,082 --> 00:23:40,118
Lee right now digging deep.
50 seconds left in round 5.

572
00:23:40,185 --> 00:23:41,987
This could be Lee's moment.

573
00:23:42,587 --> 00:23:45,924
Clock continuing
to count down to 46. It's at 45.

574
00:23:45,991 --> 00:23:47,726
Lee trying to put Williams away.

575
00:23:47,793 --> 00:23:50,262
If Lee gets another victory,
this match is over,

576
00:23:50,328 --> 00:23:52,364
Lee is gonna be victorious.
Can he knock out Williams?

577
00:23:52,431 --> 00:23:53,698
Under 40 seconds.

578
00:23:53,765 --> 00:23:55,667
[Wade] Trick Williams is wobbled here.

579
00:23:56,201 --> 00:23:57,502
Knees have gone to jelly.

580
00:23:57,569 --> 00:23:59,404
[Vic] This could be
the opportunity for Lee.

581
00:23:59,471 --> 00:24:02,040
We're at 30 seconds left in round 5.

582
00:24:02,107 --> 00:24:04,309
Going up, and down goes Williams.

583
00:24:05,076 --> 00:24:07,779
Lee right now is feeling it.
25 seconds and counting.

584
00:24:07,846 --> 00:24:09,347
Twenty-three seconds.

585
00:24:09,414 --> 00:24:10,482
Come on, Lee.

586
00:24:10,549 --> 00:24:12,250
[Wade] Trick Williams really needs

587
00:24:12,317 --> 00:24:14,686
the end of this round
in the worst possible way.

588
00:24:14,753 --> 00:24:16,955
[Vic] Fifteen seconds. Wes Lee right now.

589
00:24:17,522 --> 00:24:19,858
-[Vic] You talk about a knockout blow.
-[crowd cheers]

590
00:24:20,392 --> 00:24:22,494
[Vic] Ten seconds. Into the cover.

591
00:24:22,561 --> 00:24:23,795
[crowd] One, two, three.

592
00:24:23,862 --> 00:24:26,832
[Vic] Lee beat the clock
and Lee beat Williams!

593
00:24:27,899 --> 00:24:31,236
[Alicia] Here is your winner, Wes Lee.

594
00:24:32,504 --> 00:24:36,641
[Vic] Down goes Williams,
down goes Williams.

595
00:24:36,708 --> 00:24:39,945
[Wade] Don't get too excited.
What an absolute scandal that was.

596
00:24:40,011 --> 00:24:41,446
To me that was a cheap shot

597
00:24:41,513 --> 00:24:42,848
from Wes Lee.

598
00:24:43,949 --> 00:24:46,418
[Wade] Trick Williams' feet
caught up on the ropes,

599
00:24:46,485 --> 00:24:48,587
but still somehow pulling out the victory.

600
00:24:48,653 --> 00:24:51,089
[Vic] You better start learning
a new definition of cheap shot.

601
00:24:53,859 --> 00:24:55,060
I completely understand,

602
00:24:55,126 --> 00:24:57,062
and I'm so sorry this happened to you,

603
00:24:57,128 --> 00:24:59,397
but don't worry,
we're gonna get this settled.

604
00:24:59,464 --> 00:25:00,765
-[knocks on door]
-Come in.

605
00:25:00,832 --> 00:25:02,868
Mr. Chase, you wanted to see me?

606
00:25:02,934 --> 00:25:05,570
You, you did this to my eye.

607
00:25:07,005 --> 00:25:08,306
Thea, is this true?

608
00:25:08,373 --> 00:25:10,275
Well, Mr. chase, not really.

609
00:25:10,342 --> 00:25:12,711
Me and Bodhi were just playing
catching the quad

610
00:25:12,777 --> 00:25:15,080
and it got away from me
and I yelled duck, but…

611
00:25:15,146 --> 00:25:17,515
It hit me right in the face.

612
00:25:17,582 --> 00:25:21,253
You ruined my perfect face.

613
00:25:22,220 --> 00:25:24,356
I'm a former beauty pageant queen,

614
00:25:24,422 --> 00:25:27,392
how can I wear a crown
when I look like this?

615
00:25:27,459 --> 00:25:29,761
I can't even go out in public.

616
00:25:29,828 --> 00:25:32,964
Don't worry, I'm going to help you,
Ms. Arianna, because tonight,

617
00:25:33,031 --> 00:25:34,900
you two are gonna settle your differences

618
00:25:34,966 --> 00:25:37,903
inside the squared
circle in a one-on-one match.

619
00:25:37,969 --> 00:25:41,573
-What?
-Mr. Chase, my first match on NXT?

620
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:44,509
-Your first match.
-I was thinking more of a lawsuit.

621
00:25:44,576 --> 00:25:47,479
A lawsuit, are you [beep] kidding me?

622
00:25:47,545 --> 00:25:50,382
-This is Andre Chase University.
-Chase U.

623
00:25:50,448 --> 00:25:52,884
-We settle our differences in the ring.
-What?

624
00:25:52,951 --> 00:25:53,852
You can't do that.

625
00:25:53,919 --> 00:25:57,822
Actually, I can, because this accident
happened on university grounds,

626
00:25:57,889 --> 00:25:59,958
which means it's under my jurisdiction.

627
00:26:02,561 --> 00:26:04,729
Mr. Chase, my first match.

628
00:26:04,796 --> 00:26:06,765
My first match. My first match!

629
00:26:06,831 --> 00:26:08,934
Do you think I'm ready for my first match?

630
00:26:09,000 --> 00:26:10,869
Thea, you've got this, you're ready.

631
00:26:10,936 --> 00:26:13,872
Thank you so much, Mr. Chase.
I can do this, I got this.

632
00:26:13,939 --> 00:26:16,908
My first match, I got it, I got it. Yay.

633
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:23,648
[Vic] Also to come later tonight.

634
00:26:23,715 --> 00:26:25,917
Coming up in just moments,
gonna take a look

635
00:26:25,984 --> 00:26:28,353
at what's gonna happen next week
in the NXT Heatwave,

636
00:26:28,420 --> 00:26:30,021
the NXT title will be on the line

637
00:26:30,088 --> 00:26:31,823
as Bron Breakker defends against McDonagh.

638
00:26:31,890 --> 00:26:33,858
We're gonna take
an inside look at this clash

639
00:26:33,925 --> 00:26:35,794
when we return on NXT.

640
00:26:35,860 --> 00:26:37,462
[hip hop music plays]

641
00:26:38,730 --> 00:26:40,131
[Carmelo Hayes' music plays]

642
00:26:40,198 --> 00:26:43,068
[Vic] Back on NXT, we saw
Trick Williams get knocked out,

643
00:26:43,134 --> 00:26:45,904
Carmelo Hayes still out here
with something on his mind.

644
00:26:46,972 --> 00:26:47,973
Hey.

645
00:26:48,039 --> 00:26:50,041
Hey, everybody, calm down. Okay?

646
00:26:50,108 --> 00:26:52,344
Look, I'm upset too.

647
00:26:52,410 --> 00:26:54,713
We were supposed to have an hour-long

648
00:26:54,779 --> 00:26:56,715
Trick and "melobration" in this ring,

649
00:26:56,781 --> 00:26:59,985
but Wes Lee decided he wanted to cheat.

650
00:27:00,919 --> 00:27:02,754
[crowd boos]

651
00:27:03,788 --> 00:27:06,124
So now I got some time to kill,

652
00:27:06,191 --> 00:27:09,160
and we need to talk about
what happened last week.

653
00:27:10,929 --> 00:27:13,631
I issued an open challenge

654
00:27:13,698 --> 00:27:16,768
for the North American Championship

655
00:27:16,835 --> 00:27:20,105
and that little peon Nathan Frazer

656
00:27:20,171 --> 00:27:22,073
thought he was going to come out here

657
00:27:22,140 --> 00:27:24,542
and pull a fast one on me,

658
00:27:26,611 --> 00:27:29,014
but just like everybody else,

659
00:27:29,080 --> 00:27:32,917
he stepped up and got stepped on,

660
00:27:32,984 --> 00:27:37,956
and I walked out still the A champion,

661
00:27:38,023 --> 00:27:40,358
and that is all it is

662
00:27:40,425 --> 00:27:43,328
and that is all it's ever going to be.

663
00:27:43,395 --> 00:27:45,096
[crowd cheers]

664
00:27:46,598 --> 00:27:48,500
[Nathan Frazer's music plays]

665
00:27:49,334 --> 00:27:51,736
-[Vic] Oh.
-[Wade] Oh, come on.

666
00:27:51,803 --> 00:27:53,538
[Wade] Not this guy again.

667
00:27:53,605 --> 00:27:55,140
How much is enough?

668
00:27:56,441 --> 00:27:58,176
You had your chance.

669
00:28:07,352 --> 00:28:10,855
[Wade laughs] Now that,
that right there is a picture.

670
00:28:10,922 --> 00:28:13,258
Carmelo Hayes,

671
00:28:14,025 --> 00:28:16,161
you're a top-tier athlete, man,

672
00:28:16,227 --> 00:28:17,996
making the North American Championship

673
00:28:18,063 --> 00:28:20,598
the most important title in NXT,

674
00:28:21,833 --> 00:28:24,502
but you saw your life
and your title reign flash

675
00:28:24,569 --> 00:28:27,372
before your eyes last week
when my music hit, didn't you?

676
00:28:28,873 --> 00:28:32,544
Really, you were just lucky
that goof Nathan Frazer came out here,

677
00:28:32,610 --> 00:28:34,412
took my spot and saved you from me,

678
00:28:35,313 --> 00:28:38,083
but it's okay, I'll deal with him
when the time's right.

679
00:28:39,150 --> 00:28:40,752
In the meantime, though…

680
00:28:43,521 --> 00:28:45,423
[crowd cheers]

681
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:58,570
Why don't you open that challenge back up

682
00:28:58,636 --> 00:29:00,238
for next week at Heatwave?

683
00:29:00,305 --> 00:29:03,241
Because there's nobody
standing in my way right now.

684
00:29:03,308 --> 00:29:05,009
[crowd cheers]

685
00:29:06,644 --> 00:29:10,181

00:29:10,849 --> 00:29:12,250
I mean, come on, Melo,

687
00:29:12,851 --> 00:29:14,719
you call yourself the A champ, right?

688
00:29:16,254 --> 00:29:18,857
All I see standing in front of me now

689
00:29:19,591 --> 00:29:20,792
is a guy.

690
00:29:21,693 --> 00:29:23,027
[crowd cheers]

691
00:29:24,262 --> 00:29:26,464
Hey. Now hold on.

692
00:29:26,531 --> 00:29:28,099
If I heard correctly, you said

693
00:29:28,166 --> 00:29:31,069
that Nathan saved me from you?

694
00:29:32,203 --> 00:29:34,439
No, bro, you got it all twisted.

695
00:29:34,506 --> 00:29:37,909
If anything, Nathan saved you from me.

696
00:29:37,976 --> 00:29:41,146
-[crowd cheers]
-Because, Giovanni, hey, man.

697
00:29:41,212 --> 00:29:45,083
I look at you,
I see the potential. I get it,

698
00:29:45,683 --> 00:29:47,385
but you are not him,

699
00:29:48,419 --> 00:29:50,555
because I am.

700
00:29:51,489 --> 00:29:55,693
So, at Heatwave, we could put it in
the pot and let the beef cook,

701
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:59,464
that's fine, but I will put you

702
00:29:59,531 --> 00:30:03,368
on a t-shirt and it won't be designer.

703
00:30:03,902 --> 00:30:06,471
[crowd cheers]

704
00:30:09,207 --> 00:30:12,143
[Vic] You knew it was going to pop off
quick with these two.

705
00:30:12,210 --> 00:30:14,445
[crowd cheers]

706
00:30:14,512 --> 00:30:16,247
[Vic] Little bit of one-upmanship,

707
00:30:16,314 --> 00:30:18,049
this is something you've been waiting for

708
00:30:18,116 --> 00:30:20,218
to see these two get
their hands on one another.

709
00:30:20,285 --> 00:30:22,987
[Wade] Two of the absolute best in NXT.

710
00:30:23,054 --> 00:30:24,956
[crowd cheers]

711
00:30:25,023 --> 00:30:26,057
[NXT's music plays]

712
00:30:26,124 --> 00:30:27,492
[Vic] What a showdown that would be.

713
00:30:27,992 --> 00:30:30,495
We do know we have
an NXT title match next week.

714
00:30:30,562 --> 00:30:32,430
Breakker, McDonagh, Heatwave.

715
00:30:36,501 --> 00:30:37,969
[JD] Do you hear that?

716
00:30:38,870 --> 00:30:40,939
That's the winds of change.

717
00:30:41,940 --> 00:30:46,177
I think the winds of change
are blown on NXT 2.0.

718
00:30:47,812 --> 00:30:49,948
You know it's for a damn good reason.

719
00:30:51,850 --> 00:30:53,551
You'll find out why soon enough.

720
00:30:55,286 --> 00:30:58,990
Everyone in NXT 2.0 is going to find out

721
00:30:59,057 --> 00:31:00,491
that you never

722
00:31:01,826 --> 00:31:04,062
bet against an ace.

723
00:31:05,496 --> 00:31:07,432
[Wade] JD McDonagh?

724
00:31:07,498 --> 00:31:09,834
[JD] Bron, your future changed forever

725
00:31:09,901 --> 00:31:11,736
at the Great American Bash.

726
00:31:11,803 --> 00:31:14,672
You should've been listening
because I was talking to you.

727
00:31:14,739 --> 00:31:18,509
Bron Breakker, it's your time
to meet the Irish Ace.

728
00:31:18,576 --> 00:31:20,812
A necessary evil has arrived in NXT.

729
00:31:21,346 --> 00:31:24,349
[Bron] And then there's JD McDonagh.

730
00:31:24,415 --> 00:31:26,284
You're the Irish Ace.

731
00:31:26,351 --> 00:31:29,654
You're a surgeon every time
you step foot in this ring.

732
00:31:29,721 --> 00:31:32,857
JD, you wanted my attention.

733
00:31:32,924 --> 00:31:34,959
You got it.

734
00:31:35,593 --> 00:31:42,066
[exciting music plays]

735
00:31:43,735 --> 00:31:46,371
This title attracts
all kinds of competitors.

736
00:31:46,437 --> 00:31:48,973
Guys driven by fame, by legacy,

737
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:51,409
guys driven by money, by power.

738
00:31:53,745 --> 00:31:55,179
JD McDonagh is different.

739
00:31:55,246 --> 00:31:56,948
He's driven by pain.

740
00:31:57,015 --> 00:31:58,316
[JD] I look at you, Bron

741
00:31:58,383 --> 00:32:00,952
and all I see is a road map for the pain

742
00:32:01,019 --> 00:32:02,387
that I can inflict.

743
00:32:03,087 --> 00:32:04,822
[JD] Bron trains like a caveman.

744
00:32:04,889 --> 00:32:07,058
He's all about proving
that he's the Alpha male.

745
00:32:07,592 --> 00:32:10,561
I train in isolation, away from people.

746
00:32:10,628 --> 00:32:12,997
[music continues]

747
00:32:17,835 --> 00:32:19,037
[JD] It's in these moments of solitude

748
00:32:19,103 --> 00:32:21,606
and this isolation
that I feel at my most lethal.

749
00:32:23,374 --> 00:32:25,443
My desire to win has never been higher.

750
00:32:25,510 --> 00:32:27,145
Everyone has a plan,

751
00:32:27,211 --> 00:32:29,280
until I break them in half.

752
00:32:29,347 --> 00:32:31,983
[Bron] We're going to see how much
he likes feeling pain

753
00:32:32,050 --> 00:32:34,218
because he's in store for a lot of it.

754
00:32:34,285 --> 00:32:37,388
[JD] I'm not just going to test
Bron Breakker's threshold.

755
00:32:37,455 --> 00:32:39,791
I'm going to drag him screaming past it.

756
00:32:39,857 --> 00:32:42,760
There's only so much trauma
the human brain can go through

757
00:32:42,827 --> 00:32:44,662
before it just shuts off.

758
00:32:44,729 --> 00:32:46,597
The difference between you and me, Bron,

759
00:32:46,664 --> 00:32:50,501
is that you like to endure pain,
but I welcome it.

760
00:32:50,568 --> 00:32:53,037
[Bron] Joint manipulation, torturer,

761
00:32:53,104 --> 00:32:55,406
excruciating pain. I don't care.

762
00:32:55,473 --> 00:32:58,042
At Heatwave, my game plan is simple.

763
00:32:58,109 --> 00:33:00,345
Speed, power, and aggression.

764
00:33:00,411 --> 00:33:02,914
I'm glad that you like pain so much

765
00:33:02,981 --> 00:33:05,850
because at NXT heatwave,
you're going to be in a lot of it.

766
00:33:06,384 --> 00:33:09,721
[JD] At Heatwave, Bron Breakker
learns once and for all,

767
00:33:11,489 --> 00:33:13,458
you never bet against an ace.

768
00:33:13,524 --> 00:33:14,993
[music plays]

769
00:33:19,130 --> 00:33:21,232
[male voice] I am the champion!

770
00:33:27,271 --> 00:33:30,041
Malik, Malik, look at me, look at me.

771
00:33:30,108 --> 00:33:32,010
I had her exactly where I wanted her.

772
00:33:32,076 --> 00:33:34,412
Right in the middle of the ring. One, two.

773
00:33:34,479 --> 00:33:36,247
Edris, come here.

774
00:33:36,314 --> 00:33:38,583
We were talking about you.
Let's catch you up,

775
00:33:38,649 --> 00:33:40,284
did you see my match last week?

776
00:33:40,351 --> 00:33:41,719
I know you did, of course.

777
00:33:41,786 --> 00:33:44,856
I was with Alba Fyre and I know
you're like my number one fan.

778
00:33:44,922 --> 00:33:46,224
Actually, I have a bunch of fans.

779
00:33:46,290 --> 00:33:48,326
Everybody loves Lash, the one and only,

780
00:33:48,393 --> 00:33:50,561
so during my match,
it was me and Alba Fyre…

781
00:33:50,628 --> 00:33:54,198
[Wade] You keep the camera
on Lash Legend when she's talking.

782
00:33:54,265 --> 00:33:56,267
-[Vic] Serious?
-[Wade] Not difficult.

783
00:33:56,334 --> 00:33:57,168
[bell rings]

784
00:33:57,235 --> 00:34:00,204
[Alice] The following contest
is scheduled for one fall.

785
00:34:00,271 --> 00:34:03,441
Representing Chase U, Thea Hail.

786
00:34:03,508 --> 00:34:05,943
[Vic] We found out earlier tonight

787
00:34:06,010 --> 00:34:08,045
that this matchup was made

788
00:34:08,112 --> 00:34:09,881
in the office of Andre Chase.

789
00:34:09,947 --> 00:34:12,383
You gotta imagine
the butterflies the size of eagles

790
00:34:14,252 --> 00:34:17,021
inside of Thea Hail. Her debut match.

791
00:34:17,088 --> 00:34:18,389
Grace is fired up tonight.

792
00:34:18,456 --> 00:34:20,458
[Wade] I'm not surprised.
She's got a shiner.

793
00:34:20,525 --> 00:34:22,960
This is a beauty pageant queen

794
00:34:23,027 --> 00:34:24,762
who's face has been ruined

795
00:34:24,829 --> 00:34:27,432
by the boisterous nature of Thea Hail.

796
00:34:27,498 --> 00:34:31,269
[Vic] Well, shouldn't she have been
a tad more appreciative to Mr. Chase,

797
00:34:31,335 --> 00:34:33,571
not filing a lawsuit,
the fact that she gets--

798
00:34:33,638 --> 00:34:35,907
One-on-one tonight with Thea Hail?

799
00:34:35,973 --> 00:34:38,976
[Wade] Arianna Grace deserves
financial compensation

800
00:34:39,043 --> 00:34:43,114
for the damage
that has occurred to her moneymaker.

801
00:34:43,915 --> 00:34:46,083
When there's blame, there's a claim.

802
00:34:46,150 --> 00:34:46,984
No win, no feat.

803
00:34:47,051 --> 00:34:48,786
[Vic] She should've opened her eyes.

804
00:34:48,853 --> 00:34:51,389
Maybe get off her phone,
maybe not been on TikTok,

805
00:34:51,456 --> 00:34:52,590
maybe not take selfies.

806
00:34:52,657 --> 00:34:55,493
Look it up. Hail yelled duck.

807
00:34:55,560 --> 00:34:59,497
[Wade] Arianna Grace was in the quad
of a prestigious university.

808
00:34:59,564 --> 00:35:03,301
That is in place for self reflection
and personal study.

809
00:35:03,367 --> 00:35:05,303
It's not a place for ball games.

810
00:35:05,369 --> 00:35:06,971
[women scream]

811
00:35:07,038 --> 00:35:09,207
[Vic] It was an accident that happened.

812
00:35:09,273 --> 00:35:12,243
[Wade] Your parents know a thing
or two about accidents, Vic Joseph.

813
00:35:12,310 --> 00:35:14,112
[crowd cheers]

814
00:35:14,178 --> 00:35:17,348
[Vic] As now Grace is in control of Hail.

815
00:35:17,415 --> 00:35:20,151
Look, Grace, we've talked
about her in the past.

816
00:35:20,218 --> 00:35:21,619
She's had chances.

817
00:35:21,686 --> 00:35:23,821
She's had chances
to break out, so to speak.

818
00:35:23,888 --> 00:35:26,023
This is a big opportunity for her as well.

819
00:35:26,090 --> 00:35:28,659
-[Wade] Yes, it's absolutely massive.
-[Vic] Whoa.

820
00:35:28,726 --> 00:35:31,529
[Wade] Look at the landscape
of WWE at the moment.

821
00:35:31,596 --> 00:35:33,431
Changes like never before.

822
00:35:33,498 --> 00:35:35,766
Opportunities left, right, and center.

823
00:35:35,833 --> 00:35:38,503
Look at Karrion Kross showing up
on SmackDown.

824
00:35:39,203 --> 00:35:41,806
Look at Dakota Kai showing up
at Summer Slam.

825
00:35:41,873 --> 00:35:44,108
[Vic] We also found out
on SmackDown Liv Morgan will defend

826
00:35:44,175 --> 00:35:46,144
the SmackDown Women's Title at clash

827
00:35:46,210 --> 00:35:48,813
at the castle against the former NXT
Women's champion, Shayna Baszler,

828
00:35:49,313 --> 00:35:50,448
to your point.

829
00:35:50,515 --> 00:35:53,084
[Wade] There are opportunities
growing on trees right now

830
00:35:53,151 --> 00:35:55,486
and wins at this moment in time
can shoot you up

831
00:35:55,553 --> 00:35:58,256
the card, could get you
opportunities left, right, and center.

832
00:35:58,322 --> 00:35:59,624
[grunt]

833
00:36:00,324 --> 00:36:02,393
[Vic] Grace in control right now. Look,

834
00:36:02,460 --> 00:36:05,663
you really think Grace
should be awarded money?

835
00:36:05,730 --> 00:36:07,331
-[Wade] Yes, I do.
-[Vic] Really?

836
00:36:07,398 --> 00:36:09,133
[Wade] Here's the problem. Thea Hail

837
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:11,435
has no money because
she spent all of her money

838
00:36:11,502 --> 00:36:12,803
on student tuition fees.

839
00:36:12,870 --> 00:36:14,972
She's probably up to her neck in debts.

840
00:36:15,039 --> 00:36:17,575
I'm sure Andre Chase
has got a nice little earner

841
00:36:17,642 --> 00:36:18,843
going on for himself.

842
00:36:18,910 --> 00:36:20,011
[Vic] Andre Chase on the outside

843
00:36:20,077 --> 00:36:21,546
trying to fire up Thea Hail.

844
00:36:21,612 --> 00:36:23,781
As you know, hail wears chase you proudly.

845
00:36:23,848 --> 00:36:25,516
She was a top recruit this year.

846
00:36:25,583 --> 00:36:27,285
She could went anywhere in the big 10.

847
00:36:27,351 --> 00:36:28,853
She could've went to the Ivy Leagues.

848
00:36:28,920 --> 00:36:31,389
She chose Chase University,

849
00:36:31,455 --> 00:36:33,391
and now looking to overpower Grace.

850
00:36:33,457 --> 00:36:35,726
[Wade] Well, Thea Hail better start

851
00:36:35,793 --> 00:36:37,895
repaying that faith that Andre Chase

852
00:36:37,962 --> 00:36:39,764
showed in her by rewarding him

853
00:36:39,830 --> 00:36:41,966
and his university with some wins.

854
00:36:42,033 --> 00:36:44,368
[Vic] That's another great point,
because I'm sure Hail,

855
00:36:44,435 --> 00:36:46,571
she feels she can't let Mr. Chase down.

856
00:36:46,637 --> 00:36:48,573
This is a huge opportunity for her.

857
00:36:48,639 --> 00:36:50,675
[Wade] Who'd want to let Chase down?

858
00:36:50,741 --> 00:36:52,109
You've heard his language.

859
00:36:52,176 --> 00:36:53,377
You've seen his temper.

860
00:36:53,444 --> 00:36:55,613
We got a beeper button here in NXT.

861
00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:57,915
It's almost broken because of Andre Chase.

862
00:36:57,982 --> 00:37:00,851
[Vic] Now Hail has been listening
to not only Andre Chase,

863
00:37:00,918 --> 00:37:02,954
but also Bodhi Hayward on the outside.

864
00:37:03,020 --> 00:37:06,424
The Chase U student section
is fired up and so is Hail.

865
00:37:06,490 --> 00:37:09,060
What an opportunity this is tonight.

866
00:37:09,126 --> 00:37:13,497
Hail to pick up her first victory
in her first match here on NXT.

867
00:37:14,131 --> 00:37:15,032
Oh!

868
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:18,836
[Wade] Competitors want to bet surely,
you would think.

869
00:37:21,205 --> 00:37:23,074
[Vic] The number one recruit

870
00:37:23,140 --> 00:37:25,176
looking for an exclamation point.

871
00:37:25,243 --> 00:37:27,345
Got enough of it. Hook of the leg!

872
00:37:27,411 --> 00:37:29,313
Grace able to kick out at two.

873
00:37:29,380 --> 00:37:31,349
[Wade] Just a millisecond from victory.

874
00:37:31,415 --> 00:37:33,417
You're right. That standing [indistinct]

875
00:37:33,484 --> 00:37:34,952
did not quite connect perfectly.

876
00:37:35,019 --> 00:37:36,487
[Vic] Uh-oh.

877
00:37:36,554 --> 00:37:38,489
Oh, was looking to return
the favor of black eye.

878
00:37:38,556 --> 00:37:40,124
Almost an eye for an eye.

879
00:37:40,191 --> 00:37:42,860
[Wade] Straight to the jaw
of Arianna Grace.

880
00:37:42,927 --> 00:37:45,296
Once again attacking that moneymaker.

881
00:37:46,130 --> 00:37:47,999
[Vic] Referee trying to put back--

882
00:37:48,065 --> 00:37:50,067
Oh, cutting corners.

883
00:37:50,134 --> 00:37:52,270
[Wade] Now that's a teachable moment.

884
00:37:52,336 --> 00:37:54,238
Don't take your eye off the ball.

885
00:37:54,305 --> 00:37:56,173
Oh, wasteland.

886
00:37:56,674 --> 00:37:58,476
[Vic] Into the cover goes Grace.

887
00:37:59,677 --> 00:38:02,079
And Grace picks up a big win
tonight for herself.

888
00:38:02,847 --> 00:38:05,283
[Alicia] Here is your winner,
Arianna Grace!

889
00:38:05,349 --> 00:38:07,051
[Vic] All Grace wanted to do

890
00:38:07,118 --> 00:38:09,086
was give Hail a black eye tonight.

891
00:38:09,153 --> 00:38:11,355
In the end, she picks up the win.

892
00:38:11,422 --> 00:38:14,358
[Wade] I got a new favorite female
superstar.

893
00:38:14,425 --> 00:38:17,295
The Wasteland throwing Arianna Grace.

894
00:38:17,361 --> 00:38:18,963
[music plays]

895
00:38:20,898 --> 00:38:24,468
[Vic] Earlier tonight,
we saw the altercation,

896
00:38:24,535 --> 00:38:28,606
verbal altercation between Apollo Crews
and Roderick Strong.

897
00:38:28,673 --> 00:38:32,610
Time for talk is over.
These two go one-on-one next.

898
00:38:32,677 --> 00:38:34,078
[tense music plays]

899
00:38:40,584 --> 00:38:41,652
[crowd cheers]

900
00:38:47,725 --> 00:38:49,093
[grunts]

901
00:38:51,762 --> 00:38:55,599
[Vic] What a match this was.
Solo Sikoa, Von Wagner.

902
00:38:55,666 --> 00:38:59,170
It was falls count anywhere
and these two superstars

903
00:38:59,236 --> 00:39:02,206
slugged it out. Haymakers were thrown.

904
00:39:02,273 --> 00:39:06,644
There were no rules and, really,
that was a recipe for disaster.

905
00:39:06,711 --> 00:39:09,747
Human demolition derby last week

906
00:39:09,814 --> 00:39:11,515
and it came right to our feet,

907
00:39:11,582 --> 00:39:14,051
as we saw this from Solo Sikoa.

908
00:39:14,118 --> 00:39:17,588
Boom. The exclamation point
on the evening.

909
00:39:17,655 --> 00:39:21,325
In the end, Sikoa's hand
was raised in victory.

910
00:39:21,392 --> 00:39:22,393
[bell rings]

911
00:39:22,460 --> 00:39:24,028
[crowd cheers]

912
00:39:28,799 --> 00:39:30,735
-You have a sprained PCL.
-What?

913
00:39:30,801 --> 00:39:32,103
What does that mean?

914
00:39:32,169 --> 00:39:34,071
It means it's not torn, it's not broken,

915
00:39:34,138 --> 00:39:36,307
but you're gonna be out four to six weeks.

916
00:39:36,374 --> 00:39:37,274
Four to six weeks?

917
00:39:37,341 --> 00:39:39,477
Doc, that's way too long
for me to sit out.

918
00:39:39,543 --> 00:39:40,978
I can't sit out that long.

919
00:39:41,045 --> 00:39:42,913
That was a tough fight last week,

920
00:39:42,980 --> 00:39:44,682
but congrats on the big victory.

921
00:39:44,749 --> 00:39:46,016
Give me a second, doc.

922
00:39:46,517 --> 00:39:48,285
Yes, I'm still feeling the effects.

923
00:39:48,352 --> 00:39:49,787
Coming from you,

924
00:39:49,854 --> 00:39:52,390
you got the respect
of the locker room in the back,

925
00:39:52,456 --> 00:39:53,591
so that means a lot.

926
00:39:53,657 --> 00:39:54,892
I appreciate that, man.

927
00:39:54,959 --> 00:39:56,427
I see Giovanni and Melo again

928
00:39:56,494 --> 00:39:58,662
made for the North American
Championship next week.

929
00:39:58,729 --> 00:39:59,964
I'm gonna be watching

930
00:40:00,030 --> 00:40:01,999
because when I come back, that's on me.

931
00:40:02,900 --> 00:40:05,002
Got to get the gold for guys
like me and you, you know?

932
00:40:08,105 --> 00:40:09,273
Yes, okay, Solo.

933
00:40:13,544 --> 00:40:16,547
[Wade] Solo Sikoa
unsurprisingly not at 100%

934
00:40:16,614 --> 00:40:18,916
after that war with Von Wagner last week.

935
00:40:18,983 --> 00:40:21,552
-We wish him the best in his recovery.
-[bell rings]

936
00:40:21,619 --> 00:40:24,054
[Alicia] The following contest
is scheduled for one fall.

937
00:40:24,121 --> 00:40:28,259
Introducing first, Apollo Crews.

938
00:40:28,325 --> 00:40:30,227
[Vic] We saw tempers flare earlier.

939
00:40:30,995 --> 00:40:32,997
We've seen really both these superstars

940
00:40:33,063 --> 00:40:35,566
going back and forth the last few weeks

941
00:40:35,633 --> 00:40:39,537
as we already said,
time for talk is over here tonight.

942
00:40:39,603 --> 00:40:41,105
[Diamond Mine's music plays]

943
00:40:43,107 --> 00:40:45,042
[Alicia] His opponent, representing

944
00:40:45,109 --> 00:40:48,813
Diamond Mine, Roderick Strong.

945
00:40:48,879 --> 00:40:51,415
[Vic] Well, well, well. As I look around,

946
00:40:52,016 --> 00:40:55,586
I don't necessarily see Diamond Mine
with their so-called leader,

947
00:40:55,653 --> 00:40:56,754
Roderick Strong.

948
00:40:56,821 --> 00:40:59,156
[Wade] Where the hell
are the Creeds right now?

949
00:40:59,223 --> 00:41:00,825
Where the hell is Damon Kemp?

950
00:41:00,891 --> 00:41:02,593
They are supposed to be

951
00:41:02,660 --> 00:41:05,396
in the corner of the leader,
Roderick Strong.

952
00:41:05,930 --> 00:41:08,933
That is what a team does.
They back up their man.

953
00:41:08,999 --> 00:41:11,569
Once again to me,
this is proving something

954
00:41:11,635 --> 00:41:14,505
that I've suspected all along
when it comes to the Creeds.

955
00:41:14,572 --> 00:41:17,341
They are all take and they are no give.

956
00:41:17,408 --> 00:41:20,377
[Vic] Hold on, you heard
from the Creed brothers.

957
00:41:20,444 --> 00:41:23,080
Julius specifically, Roderick Strong

958
00:41:23,147 --> 00:41:24,715
lied to the Creed brothers last week.

959
00:41:24,782 --> 00:41:27,084
Do you not remember,
"Yeah, I'll be there guys.

960
00:41:27,151 --> 00:41:28,552
Yes, I'll be there on time.

961
00:41:28,619 --> 00:41:30,154
I'll show up." He didn't.

962
00:41:30,221 --> 00:41:33,123
[Wade] No, he explained that.
That was a test.

963
00:41:33,190 --> 00:41:34,458
He was giving a test to the Creeds.

964
00:41:34,525 --> 00:41:36,060
[Vic] That was a BS excuse.

965
00:41:36,126 --> 00:41:37,528
[Wade] A lot of people there

966
00:41:37,595 --> 00:41:40,231
suspected the Creeds
couldn't do it without Strong.

967
00:41:40,297 --> 00:41:42,099
I'll be honest. I was one of them.

968
00:41:42,166 --> 00:41:43,934
Strong had faith in them, though.

969
00:41:44,001 --> 00:41:46,804
He sent them out on their own,
to grow, to develop,

970
00:41:46,871 --> 00:41:49,773
to learn that they can stand
on their own two feet

971
00:41:49,840 --> 00:41:51,308
and this is how they thank him?

972
00:41:51,375 --> 00:41:54,211
[Vic] Let's look at these two superstars
that are in the ring right now

973
00:41:54,278 --> 00:41:55,913
because on social media last week,

974
00:41:55,980 --> 00:41:57,882
Strong took exception to Crews visiting

975
00:41:57,948 --> 00:41:59,283
the Diamond Dojo.

976
00:41:59,350 --> 00:42:00,851
[Wade] Of course he should.

977
00:42:00,918 --> 00:42:01,785
[Vic] Why?

978
00:42:01,852 --> 00:42:04,522
[Wade] Because Apollo
is not art of the Diamond Mine.

979
00:42:04,588 --> 00:42:07,525
You don't just walk in
off the street willy-nilly

980
00:42:07,591 --> 00:42:09,527
and step on that hollow ground

981
00:42:09,593 --> 00:42:11,328
of the Diamond Mine dojo.

982
00:42:11,395 --> 00:42:12,930
[Vic] Wait a minute,

983
00:42:12,997 --> 00:42:14,398
so now, it's sacred ground,

984
00:42:14,465 --> 00:42:16,433
but when pretty deadly destroyed
it two months ago,

985
00:42:16,500 --> 00:42:18,636
three months ago,
you thought it was funny?

986
00:42:18,702 --> 00:42:20,371
-[Wade] Completely different.
-[Vic] Oh!

987
00:42:20,437 --> 00:42:23,540
[Wade] The Diamond Mine dojo
back then wasn't the prestigious place

988
00:42:23,607 --> 00:42:25,376
that it was today.
Let me tell you about this.

989
00:42:25,442 --> 00:42:28,712
Here's the issue with Apollo.
Not just stomping around in there.

990
00:42:28,779 --> 00:42:31,215
Now trying to call the shots,
stirring up trouble

991
00:42:31,282 --> 00:42:33,751
with the likes of the Creeds
and the Creeds are so naive.

992
00:42:33,817 --> 00:42:36,287
-They are listening to--
-[Vic] Let me pull up something.

993
00:42:36,353 --> 00:42:37,922
Apollo Crews has an amateur background.

994
00:42:37,988 --> 00:42:40,291
What's wrong with him
wanting to lend a helping hand?

995
00:42:40,357 --> 00:42:43,093
You're talking about
a former champion in the WWE.

996
00:42:43,160 --> 00:42:45,462
[Wade] Quite simple.
He's not welcome in the Diamond Mine.

997
00:42:45,529 --> 00:42:47,231
He's not been invited in the Diamond Mine.

998
00:42:47,298 --> 00:42:50,301
You can have all the technical
skills in the world,

999
00:42:50,367 --> 00:42:53,771
but with the wrong attitude,
you don't get through the doors

1000
00:42:53,837 --> 00:42:56,206
of the Diamond Mine.
That is Apollo's problem.

1001
00:42:56,273 --> 00:42:59,410
He has a bad attitude,
and that bad attitude

1002
00:42:59,944 --> 00:43:02,079
is rubbing off on the likes
of Julius Creed more.

1003
00:43:02,146 --> 00:43:04,582
[Vic] You talk about
the championship pedigree,

1004
00:43:04,648 --> 00:43:06,917
the five-tool player that Apollo Crews
is as we got a little bit

1005
00:43:06,984 --> 00:43:09,086
of stalemate between him
and Strong right now.

1006
00:43:09,153 --> 00:43:11,121
No one in Diamond Mine
can learn from Crews?

1007
00:43:11,188 --> 00:43:13,958
Roderick Strong couldn't learn
from Apollo Crews?

1008
00:43:14,024 --> 00:43:15,726
[Wade] He could learn elements,

1009
00:43:15,793 --> 00:43:18,462
but it's the whole bad apple philosophy.

1010
00:43:18,529 --> 00:43:21,532
Put one bad apple
in a barrel of good apples,

1011
00:43:21,598 --> 00:43:24,401
it will rot the whole bunch
and that is what Apollo Crews

1012
00:43:24,802 --> 00:43:26,637
threatens to do with the Diamond Mine.

1013
00:43:26,704 --> 00:43:29,206
I've got all the respect
for Apollo and his abilities,

1014
00:43:29,273 --> 00:43:31,141
but let's face it, he's been to the top.

1015
00:43:31,208 --> 00:43:32,810
He's competed at WrestleMania.

1016
00:43:32,876 --> 00:43:35,379
He's been a former US champion,
of all things.

1017
00:43:35,446 --> 00:43:38,349
The man is really good,
but he's not Diamond Mine material.

1018
00:43:38,415 --> 00:43:40,918
[Vic] He's in control at this moment.

1019
00:43:40,985 --> 00:43:43,153
You mentioned
the United States Championship.

1020
00:43:43,220 --> 00:43:44,388
How about the match last night?

1021
00:43:44,455 --> 00:43:47,391
Bobby Lashley and former NXT champion,
Tommaso Ciampa.

1022
00:43:47,458 --> 00:43:50,094
-[Wade] Oh!
-[Vic] What a match!

1023
00:43:50,160 --> 00:43:52,930
[Wade] I know he ended up losing
the match somehow.

1024
00:43:52,997 --> 00:43:54,098
He could've won very easily.

1025
00:43:54,164 --> 00:43:55,432
A lot of people around the world

1026
00:43:55,499 --> 00:43:58,369
suddenly opening their eyes
to just how good Ciampa is.

1027
00:43:58,435 --> 00:44:00,371
Something we at NXT have known for years.

1028
00:44:00,437 --> 00:44:03,674
[Vic] Some people opening their eyes
at just how good Apollo Crews is.

1029
00:44:03,741 --> 00:44:05,643
Wants to remind
all of those one of the reasons

1030
00:44:05,709 --> 00:44:07,778
he came back to NXT.

1031
00:44:07,845 --> 00:44:10,080
This is the sort of competition
Crews was looking for

1032
00:44:10,147 --> 00:44:11,849
when returning to NXT, was to face

1033
00:44:11,915 --> 00:44:15,452
superstars the caliber
of Roderick Strong, with all due respect.

1034
00:44:15,519 --> 00:44:16,754
[Wade] What he's saying

1035
00:44:16,820 --> 00:44:18,389
and what he's doing
are two different things.

1036
00:44:18,455 --> 00:44:20,124
He wants to come into NXT.

1037
00:44:20,190 --> 00:44:23,394
He also wants to jump the line
for championship opportunities,

1038
00:44:23,460 --> 00:44:25,829
which is what has rubbed
a number of people the wrong way.

1039
00:44:25,896 --> 00:44:28,832
Now, apparently, he's sniffing around
trying to take ownership

1040
00:44:28,899 --> 00:44:29,833
of the Diamond Mine?

1041
00:44:29,900 --> 00:44:32,069
-[Vic] I think you're looking into--
-[Wade] Little bit too much.

1042
00:44:32,136 --> 00:44:34,104
[Vic] What a dropkick from Crews.

1043
00:44:35,272 --> 00:44:38,242
Crews just put Roderick Strong
on dream street.

1044
00:44:38,308 --> 00:44:41,278
I think what really got under the skin.

1045
00:44:42,279 --> 00:44:45,015
Oh, Roderick Strong was when…

1046
00:44:46,016 --> 00:44:49,586
Ouch! Apollo Crews told them
to watch the film

1047
00:44:49,653 --> 00:44:51,722
as the whole world saw what transpired

1048
00:44:51,789 --> 00:44:54,625
in that eight-man Tag Team match
a few weeks ago here in NXT.

1049
00:44:54,692 --> 00:44:56,126
[Wade] Okay, you're talking about
Diamond Mine

1050
00:44:56,193 --> 00:44:57,795
against D'Angelo family once again.

1051
00:44:57,861 --> 00:45:00,831
I'll recall exactly what happened
at the end of that match.

1052
00:45:00,898 --> 00:45:03,333
One man got pinned.
Wasn't Roderick Strong.

1053
00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:05,335
-[Vic] We're not getting into this again.
-[Wade] It was Julius Creed.

1054
00:45:05,402 --> 00:45:07,805
He was the weak link
for the Diamond Mine that week.

1055
00:45:07,871 --> 00:45:09,206
That's what the world saw--

1056
00:45:09,273 --> 00:45:11,108
[Vic] After Roderick Strong hit him
with a knee under the jaw

1057
00:45:11,175 --> 00:45:13,277
if we can remember
that part of the matchup.

1058
00:45:13,343 --> 00:45:15,913
[Wade] That was an accidental crash
caused by the fact that Julius Creed

1059
00:45:15,979 --> 00:45:18,615
didn't do his job
in holding Tony D'Angelo.

1060
00:45:18,682 --> 00:45:19,850
Go back and watch the footage.

1061
00:45:19,917 --> 00:45:21,318
I've studied it. You, apparently, haven't.

1062
00:45:21,385 --> 00:45:22,920
[fighters grunt]

1063
00:45:23,654 --> 00:45:26,590
[Vic] Both these superstars now
trading shots.

1064
00:45:26,657 --> 00:45:29,827
You know what else
might've got under Roderick Strong's skin

1065
00:45:29,893 --> 00:45:32,329
was when Apollo Crews told him
to watch a little bit more film.

1066
00:45:32,396 --> 00:45:35,065
Maybe Strong should watch
a little more film.

1067
00:45:35,132 --> 00:45:37,768
According to some, maybe he should watch
some film on leadership.

1068
00:45:38,602 --> 00:45:40,871
[Wade] Roderick Strong
has no leadership issues.

1069
00:45:40,938 --> 00:45:44,441
His only problem is
he needs to recruit a better quality

1070
00:45:44,508 --> 00:45:46,143
of human being in the Diamond Mine.

1071
00:45:46,210 --> 00:45:49,179
Not ingrates who will stab him in the back
at the first opportunity.

1072
00:45:49,246 --> 00:45:50,848
-[Vic] Ingrates?
-[Wade] Yes, ingrates.

1073
00:45:50,914 --> 00:45:52,850
[Wade] Roderick Strong took the Creeds

1074
00:45:52,916 --> 00:45:54,818
to the absolute top of this division,

1075
00:45:54,885 --> 00:45:57,287
the tag division here in NXT,
in under a year

1076
00:45:57,354 --> 00:46:00,891
since their debut.
Unheard of in the history of NXT.

1077
00:46:00,958 --> 00:46:03,160
That's Roderick Strong who did that.
Not the Creeds.

1078
00:46:03,227 --> 00:46:05,596
[Vic] When it comes to the Diamond Mine,
everyone is an equal

1079
00:46:05,662 --> 00:46:09,199
according to Julius Creed--
Another dropkick fired in this matchup.

1080
00:46:09,266 --> 00:46:11,335
This time from Roderick Strong.

1081
00:46:11,401 --> 00:46:13,070
-[Wade] Pinpoint accuracy.
-[Vic] Wow.

1082
00:46:13,137 --> 00:46:15,005
[Wade] That's what you can learn
from Roderick Strong.

1083
00:46:15,072 --> 00:46:17,674
Let's take another look.
Just when Apollo Crews

1084
00:46:17,741 --> 00:46:19,977
was getting on top in this matchup,

1085
00:46:20,043 --> 00:46:22,179
out of nowhere, Roderick Strong

1086
00:46:22,246 --> 00:46:23,680
doing what he does best.

1087
00:46:23,747 --> 00:46:25,415
Resetting the balance.

1088
00:46:26,650 --> 00:46:28,919
You talk about equality
in the Diamond Mine.

1089
00:46:28,986 --> 00:46:32,089
I'll tell you something.
The Creeds have let their success

1090
00:46:32,156 --> 00:46:34,591
go to their heads
and it's not helped by the fact

1091
00:46:34,658 --> 00:46:38,095
that Apollo Crews is there week in,
week out now stirring the pot.

1092
00:46:38,162 --> 00:46:40,664
[Vic] I think it's the jealousy
that has been building inside

1093
00:46:40,731 --> 00:46:42,399
of Roderick Strong as Strong now

1094
00:46:42,466 --> 00:46:45,235
could be looking for
a huge momentum-building maneuver here

1095
00:46:45,302 --> 00:46:46,403
against Crews.

1096
00:46:46,470 --> 00:46:48,806
[Wade] No reason for Roderick Strong
to be jealous of anybody.

1097
00:46:48,872 --> 00:46:51,408
He's been there before.
He's won championships in NXT.

1098
00:46:51,475 --> 00:46:52,709
[Vic] No, no, no!

1099
00:46:53,710 --> 00:46:54,845
Strong!

1100
00:46:54,912 --> 00:46:57,147
Look at the leverage from Strong.

1101
00:46:57,214 --> 00:47:00,951
Strong just table to take out
the feet of Crews.

1102
00:47:01,018 --> 00:47:04,054
What a back and forth contest
this has been.

1103
00:47:04,121 --> 00:47:06,957
Crews, Strong.
These two are gonna continue

1104
00:47:07,024 --> 00:47:08,926
to battle it out here on NXT.

1105
00:47:08,992 --> 00:47:10,761
[crowd] NXT!

1106
00:47:11,762 --> 00:47:13,197
[crowd cheers]

1107
00:47:13,263 --> 00:47:16,366
[Vic] Back live on NXT.
It has been all Roderick Strong

1108
00:47:16,433 --> 00:47:18,035
throughout the commercial break.

1109
00:47:18,101 --> 00:47:21,138
Has been in control of Crews,
and right now you see the pain

1110
00:47:21,205 --> 00:47:23,140
etched on Crews' face center of the ring.

1111
00:47:23,207 --> 00:47:24,641
Nowhere to go.

1112
00:47:24,708 --> 00:47:26,076
Is Crews going to submit?

1113
00:47:26,143 --> 00:47:27,511
Is Crews going to tap?

1114
00:47:27,578 --> 00:47:29,279
Roderick Strong has been focusing

1115
00:47:29,346 --> 00:47:32,182
throughout the break
on the lower back of Crews.

1116
00:47:32,249 --> 00:47:34,618
[Wade] Yes, Apollo Crews
starting to regret

1117
00:47:34,685 --> 00:47:36,987
some of his choices
over the past couple of weeks.

1118
00:47:37,054 --> 00:47:38,889
You suspect right about now.

1119
00:47:40,424 --> 00:47:43,760
[Vic] Continuing the onslaught
of offense that lower back is Strong.

1120
00:47:43,827 --> 00:47:45,529
He'll look around the ring,

1121
00:47:45,596 --> 00:47:47,898
there is no Diamond Mine,
there is no Creed Brothers,

1122
00:47:47,965 --> 00:47:49,866
no Ivy Nile, no Damon Kemp.

1123
00:47:49,933 --> 00:47:52,169
The bottom line, Julius Creed called out

1124
00:47:52,236 --> 00:47:54,171
Roderick Strong here tonight.

1125
00:47:54,238 --> 00:47:57,941
[Wade] Yes, that is an example
of youthful inexperience.

1126
00:47:58,008 --> 00:48:02,012
Misreading a situation completely
when it comes to Julius Creed

1127
00:48:02,079 --> 00:48:03,847
calling out Roderick Strong.

1128
00:48:03,914 --> 00:48:06,383
Biting the hand that feeds him.

1129
00:48:06,450 --> 00:48:09,853
Julius Creed is getting too big
for his britches if you ask me.

1130
00:48:09,920 --> 00:48:12,222
[Vic] How about what's coming up next?

1131
00:48:12,289 --> 00:48:14,825
The final accord
between Escobar and D'Angelo.

1132
00:48:14,892 --> 00:48:17,694
-[Wade] Cannot wait.
-[Vic] What a matchup this has been!

1133
00:48:17,761 --> 00:48:20,530
[Vic] Between Crews and Strong.
You see the appreciation

1134
00:48:20,597 --> 00:48:22,900
from the NXT universe here tonight

1135
00:48:22,966 --> 00:48:24,968
as Crews trying to fly strong.

1136
00:48:25,035 --> 00:48:27,571
Oh! Nasty landing for Crews.

1137
00:48:27,638 --> 00:48:30,040
[Wade] These two
are in an absolute banger.

1138
00:48:30,107 --> 00:48:33,410
Apollo Crews now receiving
an education at the boots

1139
00:48:33,477 --> 00:48:36,179
of Roderick Strong
and I'm sure somewhere--

1140
00:48:36,246 --> 00:48:38,482
[Vic] Strong into the cover!
And a kick out by Crews.

1141
00:48:38,548 --> 00:48:41,318
[Wade] Julius Creed is studying
this well and perhaps

1142
00:48:41,385 --> 00:48:45,422
starting to realize that he cannot mess
with someone like Roderick Strong.

1143
00:48:45,489 --> 00:48:47,557
[Vic] Roderick Strong right back
into another submission,

1144
00:48:47,624 --> 00:48:50,360
continuing to punish Crews
in this matchup.

1145
00:48:50,427 --> 00:48:52,930
I'm sure Diamond Mine is looking on.

1146
00:48:52,996 --> 00:48:55,198
When you ask Julius Creed,
even ask Brutus.

1147
00:48:55,265 --> 00:48:57,234
They credit Roderick Strong.

1148
00:48:57,301 --> 00:48:59,303
The problem is Roderick Strong

1149
00:48:59,369 --> 00:49:01,138
in the minds of the NXT universe

1150
00:49:01,204 --> 00:49:02,839
has started to become jealous

1151
00:49:02,906 --> 00:49:04,975
of the success of others inside

1152
00:49:05,042 --> 00:49:06,410
of the Diamond Mine.

1153
00:49:06,476 --> 00:49:09,513
[Wade] Which is a ludicrous claim.
Nothing to be jealous of whatsoever.

1154
00:49:09,579 --> 00:49:12,182
This guy's been there, done it,
will continue to do it

1155
00:49:12,249 --> 00:49:15,218
and if you go along with him,
hang on to his coat tails,

1156
00:49:15,285 --> 00:49:16,720
he'll take you to the top too.

1157
00:49:16,787 --> 00:49:19,756
[Vic] You mentioned the former
United States champion, Apollo Crews.

1158
00:49:19,823 --> 00:49:22,059
Also a former intercontinental champion.

1159
00:49:22,826 --> 00:49:24,394
And Crews is rolling.

1160
00:49:24,461 --> 00:49:26,396
[Wade] Got that second wind right now.

1161
00:49:26,463 --> 00:49:29,399
As you mentioned before,
the championships he's won historically.

1162
00:49:29,466 --> 00:49:32,035
Never won the NXT Championship.

1163
00:49:32,102 --> 00:49:35,238
That is the driving force
in his life right now.

1164
00:49:35,305 --> 00:49:36,840
[Vic] Blockbuster into the cover.

1165
00:49:36,907 --> 00:49:38,775
-[crowd] One, two--
-[Vic] Crews hook of the leg!

1166
00:49:38,842 --> 00:49:42,045
[Vic] And Strong just able to kick out.

1167
00:49:42,112 --> 00:49:44,114
Take another look at the athleticism

1168
00:49:44,181 --> 00:49:46,616
from a man the size of Apollo Crews.

1169
00:49:46,683 --> 00:49:49,753
When it comes to crews,
this is close as it gets.

1170
00:49:49,820 --> 00:49:53,023
Almost picking up the victory
against Strong.

1171
00:49:53,090 --> 00:49:54,891
Look, you bring up a great point.

1172
00:49:54,958 --> 00:49:56,927
[crowd cheers]

1173
00:49:56,993 --> 00:49:58,428
[crowd chants] This is awesome!

1174
00:49:58,495 --> 00:49:59,963
[Vic] So does the NXT universe.

1175
00:50:00,030 --> 00:50:02,265
Apollo Crews has never won
a championship in NXT.

1176
00:50:02,332 --> 00:50:05,335
That is what has driven him here,
he has to beat the best.

1177
00:50:05,402 --> 00:50:08,605
Certainly, there's no argument.
Roderick Strong is one of the best

1178
00:50:08,672 --> 00:50:10,007
NXT has ever produced.

1179
00:50:10,073 --> 00:50:12,209
[Wade] Well, 100%.
He's one of the guardians here

1180
00:50:12,275 --> 00:50:15,612
and the locker room,
an absolute locker room leader.

1181
00:50:15,679 --> 00:50:18,949
You knock over Roderick Strong,
and I'm quite happy

1182
00:50:19,016 --> 00:50:23,020
to add my weight to your claim to getting
a championship opportunity here

1183
00:50:23,086 --> 00:50:27,024
in NXT, but doing that is
a lot harder than me saying that.

1184
00:50:27,090 --> 00:50:29,860
Believe me, this is one man,
Roderick Strong.

1185
00:50:29,926 --> 00:50:32,095
Durability should be his middle name.

1186
00:50:32,162 --> 00:50:34,297
[Vic] You saw strong wincing in pain.

1187
00:50:34,364 --> 00:50:37,100
Look at the power of Crews.

1188
00:50:37,167 --> 00:50:39,603
[crowd cheers]

1189
00:50:39,669 --> 00:50:42,639
[Vic] He was a little slow
into the cover, but yet another one

1190
00:50:42,706 --> 00:50:45,342
and another near fall in this matchup,

1191
00:50:45,409 --> 00:50:48,845
what must be going
through the mind of Apollo Crews

1192
00:50:48,912 --> 00:50:52,115
more so after hitting
such a high-impact move.

1193
00:50:52,182 --> 00:50:54,618
Bam! As we just saw moments ago?

1194
00:50:54,684 --> 00:50:57,120
[Wade] I think Apollo Crews
is starting to realize

1195
00:50:57,187 --> 00:50:59,556
that the level of competition here in NXT

1196
00:50:59,623 --> 00:51:01,358
is higher than it's ever been before.

1197
00:51:01,425 --> 00:51:04,261
He ain't gonna have the cakewalk
he perhaps thought he was.

1198
00:51:04,327 --> 00:51:08,632
[Vic] These two superstars locking eyes,
two superstars with unlimited gas tanks.

1199
00:51:09,299 --> 00:51:12,836
Both men cardio-monsters,
and both right now giving it

1200
00:51:12,903 --> 00:51:15,439
their all here, live on NXT.

1201
00:51:15,505 --> 00:51:18,175
[Wade] Pain etched
on the face of both men.

1202
00:51:18,241 --> 00:51:20,977
Looks like Apollo Crews
getting the upper hand, but, no.

1203
00:51:21,044 --> 00:51:23,380
Reversal once again from Roderick Strong.

1204
00:51:23,447 --> 00:51:26,149
This is why he's the leader.
This is why he's the man.

1205
00:51:26,216 --> 00:51:28,085
[Vic] When we talk about film study,

1206
00:51:28,151 --> 00:51:30,821
Strong certainly has put in the time
to scout Apollo Crews.

1207
00:51:30,887 --> 00:51:32,589
Oh, what a knee.

1208
00:51:32,656 --> 00:51:34,124
[Wade] Precision once again.

1209
00:51:34,191 --> 00:51:36,927
Doesn't matter how exhausted
and beat up Roderick Strong is,

1210
00:51:36,993 --> 00:51:39,296
precision every single time.

1211
00:51:39,362 --> 00:51:42,699
[Vic] Crews, going for the right-- Oh!

1212
00:51:42,766 --> 00:51:45,602
[Wade] That was a nasty landing
on the left shoulder.

1213
00:51:45,669 --> 00:51:48,305
Caught the ropes on the way down,
torqued his body.

1214
00:51:49,673 --> 00:51:52,576
This has to be Strong's opportunity
to put this one to bed.

1215
00:51:52,642 --> 00:51:54,444
[Vic] Strong not at it 100% either.

1216
00:51:54,511 --> 00:51:57,547
Gingerly getting back
into the ring, going in for the cover.

1217
00:51:57,614 --> 00:52:00,851
Is it going to be enough?
Again, Crews able to kick out.

1218
00:52:00,917 --> 00:52:01,918
[Vic] What a battle.

1219
00:52:01,985 --> 00:52:04,387
[Wade] Nothing left
in the tank of Crews now.

1220
00:52:04,454 --> 00:52:06,123
Roderick Strong senses that,

1221
00:52:06,189 --> 00:52:07,324
he's been here before.

1222
00:52:07,390 --> 00:52:09,326
[Vic] Going for the stronghold.
We got to remember

1223
00:52:09,392 --> 00:52:12,996
the damage that has been done
to the lower back of Apollo Crews.

1224
00:52:13,063 --> 00:52:17,033
Crews, right now, you see
the pain etched on Crews' face.

1225
00:52:17,100 --> 00:52:19,269
-[crowd chanting]
-[Vic] It's Strong.

1226
00:52:19,336 --> 00:52:22,572
[Vic] Has the stronghold locked in
deep in the center of the ring.

1227
00:52:22,639 --> 00:52:25,008
Crews trying his best to inch his way,

1228
00:52:25,075 --> 00:52:26,510
seize the bottom rope.

1229
00:52:26,576 --> 00:52:29,379
[Wade] Crews is one of the strongest
out there.

1230
00:52:29,446 --> 00:52:32,382
Couldn't get to that rope,
found a different way out.

1231
00:52:32,449 --> 00:52:34,151
In fairness to him, all credit

1232
00:52:34,217 --> 00:52:36,219
to Apollo crews finding a plan B there.

1233
00:52:36,286 --> 00:52:37,687
[Vic] You brought up the strength,

1234
00:52:37,754 --> 00:52:41,558
just the fortitude, and then--
Following up with a power slam.

1235
00:52:42,192 --> 00:52:45,095
[Wade] Powerslam on pure instinct,
trying to keep himself alive

1236
00:52:45,162 --> 00:52:46,296
in this matchup.

1237
00:52:46,363 --> 00:52:47,931
[crowd cheers]

1238
00:52:47,998 --> 00:52:51,001
[Vic] An absolute treat this week

1239
00:52:51,067 --> 00:52:53,904
on NXT and again,
maybe that lower back gave out.

1240
00:52:53,970 --> 00:52:56,273
Strong, trying to capitalize,
another back-breaker.

1241
00:52:56,339 --> 00:52:59,376
[Wade] The Messiah
of the back-breaker doing-- Oh.

1242
00:52:59,442 --> 00:53:01,278
[crowd cheers]

1243
00:53:01,344 --> 00:53:03,680
[Vic] I can't believe crews--
Strong trying to get back,

1244
00:53:03,747 --> 00:53:05,649
gets caught, gets hoisted.

1245
00:53:05,715 --> 00:53:07,584
It almost, is he's going to get planted.

1246
00:53:07,651 --> 00:53:10,187
Trying to find out is Strong
on the shoulders of Crews.

1247
00:53:10,253 --> 00:53:11,988
Down into a gut buster.

1248
00:53:12,055 --> 00:53:14,157
[crowd cheers, laughs]

1249
00:53:15,492 --> 00:53:17,427
[Vic] Where are the reserves coming from?

1250
00:53:17,494 --> 00:53:19,396
-[Wade] I have no idea.
-[Vic] Oh, man.

1251
00:53:19,462 --> 00:53:21,298
[Wade] Give me whatever these two
have for breakfast.

1252
00:53:21,364 --> 00:53:23,500
This should have been over
a long time. Oh!

1253
00:53:23,567 --> 00:53:25,969
[Vic] With one hand.
Is it going to be enough this time?

1254
00:53:26,036 --> 00:53:28,705
Into the cover, Crews, finally!

1255
00:53:28,772 --> 00:53:30,674
-[bell rings]
-[Vic] Puts Strong away.

1256
00:53:30,740 --> 00:53:32,442
[Apollo crews' music plays]

1257
00:53:32,509 --> 00:53:34,978
[indistinct]

1258
00:53:35,812 --> 00:53:38,682
[Wade] Oh, man, hats off
to both of these two competitors.

1259
00:53:38,748 --> 00:53:41,318
Apollo Crews getting the victory,

1260
00:53:41,384 --> 00:53:42,752
but that right there

1261
00:53:42,819 --> 00:53:45,655
is a match of the year candidate
here in NXT.

1262
00:53:45,722 --> 00:53:47,257
[music plays]

1263
00:53:47,324 --> 00:53:50,193
[Vic] You talk about film study,
let's go back to the closing moments,

1264
00:53:50,260 --> 00:53:53,196
somehow, someway
at this juncture of the matchup,

1265
00:53:53,263 --> 00:53:56,866
with almost one hand, what power possessed

1266
00:53:56,933 --> 00:54:00,036
by Crews that late in the matchup

1267
00:54:00,103 --> 00:54:02,339
takes him to the Victory's circle.

1268
00:54:02,405 --> 00:54:07,477
Big win for Apollo Crews,
as he continues his journey back in NXT.

1269
00:54:07,544 --> 00:54:09,412
What the hell? Where are they?

1270
00:54:09,980 --> 00:54:11,615
Where are they?

1271
00:54:12,616 --> 00:54:14,517
[crowd cheers]

1272
00:54:15,151 --> 00:54:16,486
Where are they?

1273
00:54:17,087 --> 00:54:18,588
[crowd cheers]

1274
00:54:20,390 --> 00:54:22,859
Wait. Period. Like.
Clearly, I'm 10 times--

1275
00:54:22,926 --> 00:54:25,662
Actually, I'm 100 times better
than Alba Fyre,

1276
00:54:25,729 --> 00:54:27,297
I proved that that in the ring.

1277
00:54:27,364 --> 00:54:29,666
-Lash.
-What?

1278
00:54:29,733 --> 00:54:31,768
You lost.

1279
00:54:31,835 --> 00:54:33,837
Now, I know you ain't just interrupt me.

1280
00:54:33,903 --> 00:54:35,472
-Whoa.
-Whoa.

1281
00:54:35,538 --> 00:54:37,741
I did not just hear
the [indistinct] the nerve,

1282
00:54:37,807 --> 00:54:40,577
the gall, the audacity
[indistinct] gumption,

1283
00:54:40,644 --> 00:54:43,413
you should never interrupt
a woman while she's speaking.

1284
00:54:43,480 --> 00:54:45,915
-Yes, boys!
-Yes, girl.

1285
00:54:45,982 --> 00:54:49,552
Don't worry, we've got these two
guys in a match in a few minutes,

1286
00:54:49,619 --> 00:54:52,055
and we're going to wipe
the floor with you.

1287
00:54:52,122 --> 00:54:54,824
Man, after listening
to Lash's voice for an hour,

1288
00:54:54,891 --> 00:54:57,227
-I got some pent up aggression.
-Stay with me.

1289
00:54:57,294 --> 00:54:59,095
We'll see y'all in the ring.

1290
00:54:59,162 --> 00:55:01,798
Yes, we'll see y'all on the ring. Okay?

1291
00:55:10,307 --> 00:55:12,942
Hey, what's up? I'm almost there.

1292
00:55:13,610 --> 00:55:15,245
No, no, I'm alone.

1293
00:55:15,312 --> 00:55:16,446
I'm going alone.

1294
00:55:16,513 --> 00:55:18,982
I said alone, I'm going alone.

1295
00:55:20,083 --> 00:55:23,119
Madrina, don't you worry,
anything goes down,

1296
00:55:24,054 --> 00:55:25,855
I'll give you and the boys a signal.

1297
00:55:26,456 --> 00:55:28,692
Okay, good.

1298
00:55:31,161 --> 00:55:32,562
[crowd cheers]

1299
00:55:35,265 --> 00:55:37,434
[foreign language] It's so annoying.

1300
00:55:37,500 --> 00:55:39,102
We were in full control.

1301
00:55:39,169 --> 00:55:41,771
I know, we got eliminated.

1302
00:55:41,838 --> 00:55:43,406
We must do better.

1303
00:55:43,473 --> 00:55:46,042
Sanga, how can we improve?

1304
00:55:46,109 --> 00:55:48,511
-Well, lad--
-Sanga, excuse us.

1305
00:55:49,846 --> 00:55:52,148
Ladies, we've known you a long time

1306
00:55:52,215 --> 00:55:54,017
and we respect you. We do.

1307
00:55:54,084 --> 00:55:56,653
You can guarantee
we're gonna be fighting champions,

1308
00:55:56,720 --> 00:55:59,489
and without a doubt,
we will cross paths again.

1309
00:55:59,556 --> 00:56:01,958
When that time comes, we have no problem

1310
00:56:02,025 --> 00:56:04,361
defending these titles against you both.

1311
00:56:06,730 --> 00:56:08,932
Title match? I don't know.

1312
00:56:09,432 --> 00:56:11,701
Yes, I don't know if we are ready.

1313
00:56:11,768 --> 00:56:13,837
Ladies, you remind me of two women.

1314
00:56:13,903 --> 00:56:15,038
-Who?
-Who?

1315
00:56:15,105 --> 00:56:16,606
Them, Katana and Kayden.

1316
00:56:17,207 --> 00:56:18,942
They came so close so many time,

1317
00:56:19,008 --> 00:56:21,811
but they never gave up.
Now, they are champions.

1318
00:56:21,878 --> 00:56:23,546
Ladies, you can't give up,

1319
00:56:24,080 --> 00:56:27,117
because one day you will be there,
just like they did.

1320
00:56:28,418 --> 00:56:30,353
You need to clear your mind.

1321
00:56:31,287 --> 00:56:33,156
Next week you will come with me

1322
00:56:33,223 --> 00:56:35,692
to find balance and perspective.

1323
00:56:36,192 --> 00:56:37,494
-Yes.
-[in Spanish]

1324
00:56:37,560 --> 00:56:38,661
-Okay?
-We'll do it.

1325
00:56:38,728 --> 00:56:40,497
-Yes.
-Thank you.

1326
00:56:40,563 --> 00:56:43,266
Wham. Crushed him on that.

1327
00:56:46,469 --> 00:56:47,937
What am I not seeing here?

1328
00:56:49,005 --> 00:56:51,241
This is the match
Apollo was having me watch, right?

1329
00:56:51,307 --> 00:56:52,575
This is the one.

1330
00:56:52,642 --> 00:56:54,077
Are you seeing anything?

1331
00:56:54,144 --> 00:56:55,545
Anything I'm not picking up on?

1332
00:56:55,612 --> 00:56:56,846
No, nothing crazy.

1333
00:56:56,913 --> 00:56:59,582
Things we got to work on,
but that's normal, right?

1334
00:56:59,649 --> 00:57:02,252
TK, you were out there.
Did anything feel weird?

1335
00:57:02,318 --> 00:57:03,653
No, nothing. We were good.

1336
00:57:05,121 --> 00:57:07,323
-I just-- Wait, what was that?
-What?

1337
00:57:07,390 --> 00:57:08,792
-Did you see that?
-No.

1338
00:57:08,858 --> 00:57:10,627
Run that back.

1339
00:57:10,693 --> 00:57:12,862
-What?
-What the hell is wrong with you?

1340
00:57:12,929 --> 00:57:14,130
Why weren't you there?

1341
00:57:14,197 --> 00:57:16,065
Yes, how's it feel, Rod?

1342
00:57:16,132 --> 00:57:17,767
It was a test, you passed.

1343
00:57:18,668 --> 00:57:20,203
What did you just say to me?

1344
00:57:20,270 --> 00:57:21,571
I didn't pass anything.

1345
00:57:21,638 --> 00:57:22,739
I lost to that clown

1346
00:57:22,806 --> 00:57:24,374
because you guys weren't there.

1347
00:57:24,441 --> 00:57:25,708
And it threw me off, yes.

1348
00:57:25,775 --> 00:57:27,710
We just got done watching
the eight-person tag

1349
00:57:27,777 --> 00:57:30,480
from a couple weeks ago,
I think we got bigger issues now.

1350
00:57:30,547 --> 00:57:33,283
I'm going to watch it back
just so I'm 100% sure,

1351
00:57:33,349 --> 00:57:35,652
but if I'm right,
then we'll deal with that person

1352
00:57:35,718 --> 00:57:37,287
and that problem next week.

1353
00:57:37,353 --> 00:57:38,922
The problem is Apollo.

1354
00:57:38,988 --> 00:57:41,157
What are you doing talking
to other people anyways?

1355
00:57:41,224 --> 00:57:44,227
Outsiders. I know what's best
for Diamond Mine.

1356
00:57:44,294 --> 00:57:47,297
Apollo isn't Diamond Mine,
Apollo is just an idiot.

1357
00:57:47,363 --> 00:57:48,832
[grunts]

1358
00:57:48,898 --> 00:57:50,266
[door slams]

1359
00:57:52,235 --> 00:57:54,404
[Vic] Speaking of next week, this matchup

1360
00:57:54,471 --> 00:57:57,540
has been made official
after what we witnessed earlier today,

1361
00:57:57,607 --> 00:57:59,409
the verbal and physical altercation.

1362
00:57:59,475 --> 00:58:01,344
Carmelo Hayes, Vinci, one-on-one

1363
00:58:01,411 --> 00:58:03,980
with the NXT North American
championship on the line.

1364
00:58:04,047 --> 00:58:08,184
It's all going down next week
live because it is NXT Heatwave.

1365
00:58:08,251 --> 00:58:10,486
We already know JD McDonagh,
Bron Breakker,

1366
00:58:10,553 --> 00:58:12,322
for the NXT Championship next week.

1367
00:58:12,388 --> 00:58:13,957
You do not want to miss Heatwave

1368
00:58:14,023 --> 00:58:15,725
next Tuesday live here on USA.

1369
00:58:15,792 --> 00:58:17,594
Oh, I'm super pumped for that.

1370
00:58:17,660 --> 00:58:21,030
But here is something
that I've been waiting all week for.

1371
00:58:21,097 --> 00:58:23,666
Santos Escobar, Tony D'Angelo

1372
00:58:23,733 --> 00:58:25,468
one final accord.

1373
00:58:27,704 --> 00:58:30,607
[tense music plays]

1374
00:58:34,410 --> 00:58:36,212
Of course, he's late.

1375
00:58:39,215 --> 00:58:41,551
Speak of the devil. There he is.

1376
00:58:49,459 --> 00:58:50,627
[car door slams]

1377
00:58:53,496 --> 00:58:55,231
You come alone?

1378
00:58:55,298 --> 00:58:56,633
Of course.

1379
00:58:57,400 --> 00:58:58,301
Did you?

1380
00:58:59,102 --> 00:59:00,670
Just me and you, kid.

1381
00:59:09,045 --> 00:59:10,547
Are you serious?

1382
00:59:10,613 --> 00:59:12,015
Sit down.

1383
00:59:13,016 --> 00:59:14,017
Sit down.

1384
00:59:17,220 --> 00:59:18,955
You want to shake my hands now?

1385
00:59:19,022 --> 00:59:22,258
Last time I saw you, you hit me
with a pair of brass knuckles.

1386
00:59:22,325 --> 00:59:24,027
You're lucky I kept you breathing.

1387
00:59:24,093 --> 00:59:26,195
Oh, yes, I'm lucky.

1388
00:59:26,262 --> 00:59:29,132
You didn't think you'd ever see
me again, Tony?

1389
00:59:29,198 --> 00:59:30,867
You and your goon

1390
00:59:30,934 --> 00:59:32,669
put me in the hospital.

1391
00:59:33,469 --> 00:59:35,138
Nearly ended my career.

1392
00:59:36,005 --> 00:59:37,373
What can I say?

1393
00:59:38,107 --> 00:59:39,642
I'm full of surprises.

1394
00:59:39,709 --> 00:59:40,710
Last week,

1395
00:59:40,777 --> 00:59:43,313
that was just a little payback.

1396
00:59:43,379 --> 00:59:46,349
Nothing personal, just business.

1397
00:59:46,416 --> 00:59:48,051
I told you

1398
00:59:48,117 --> 00:59:51,187
to stay in your lane,
you didn't want to listen.

1399
00:59:52,088 --> 00:59:53,256
Now, here we are,

1400
00:59:53,790 --> 00:59:55,591
over four months later.

1401
00:59:55,658 --> 00:59:56,893
Look at where you're at,

1402
00:59:57,727 --> 00:59:58,995
and look at where I'm at.

1403
00:59:59,762 --> 01:00:01,431
You work for me.

1404
01:00:01,497 --> 01:00:02,799
Right.

1405
01:00:03,633 --> 01:00:05,802
But are you the North American champion?

1406
01:00:05,868 --> 01:00:06,803
No.

1407
01:00:07,403 --> 01:00:09,172
Are you the Tag Team champion?

1408
01:00:09,238 --> 01:00:10,773
What are you asking me questions,

1409
01:00:10,840 --> 01:00:12,275
you already know the answer for?

1410
01:00:13,643 --> 01:00:15,078
It's my kind of questions.

1411
01:00:15,912 --> 01:00:18,047
Don't insult me, Jefe.

1412
01:00:18,114 --> 01:00:19,616
I may not be the champion,

1413
01:00:19,682 --> 01:00:21,150
but you know who I am?

1414
01:00:21,217 --> 01:00:22,452
I'm the boss.

1415
01:00:22,518 --> 01:00:24,854
-I dictate everything that--
-Yes, yes.

1416
01:00:24,921 --> 01:00:25,755
I've heard it all.

1417
01:00:25,822 --> 01:00:27,991
You dictate the rules, and I enforce them.

1418
01:00:28,057 --> 01:00:29,625
[laughs]

1419
01:00:29,692 --> 01:00:30,727
Tony,

1420
01:00:30,793 --> 01:00:32,729
you must know by now,

1421
01:00:32,795 --> 01:00:35,665
this arrangement isn't gonna work.

1422
01:00:35,732 --> 01:00:37,734
See, I'm a prideful person.

1423
01:00:37,800 --> 01:00:40,436
My legacy, the legend
of Legado Del Fantasma,

1424
01:00:40,503 --> 01:00:42,005
it was built and raised--

1425
01:00:42,071 --> 01:00:43,272
Yes, yes, yes.

1426
01:00:43,339 --> 01:00:45,675
Listen, the Legado was built on hard work,

1427
01:00:45,742 --> 01:00:46,943
I've heard this all before.

1428
01:00:47,010 --> 01:00:48,378
You can do your hard work

1429
01:00:48,444 --> 01:00:50,013
up in your ivory tower

1430
01:00:50,079 --> 01:00:51,581
with your stupid pride,

1431
01:00:51,647 --> 01:00:53,049
but look at where that got you.

1432
01:00:53,116 --> 01:00:54,584
Walking behind me.

1433
01:00:54,651 --> 01:00:56,219
What are you going to do, Don?

1434
01:00:56,285 --> 01:00:58,554
[in Spanish]
because you don't care for me,

1435
01:00:58,621 --> 01:01:00,857
and I'm less concerned for your well-being.

1436
01:01:00,923 --> 01:01:02,125
What do I want?

1437
01:01:02,625 --> 01:01:05,061
I want you to come back to work
and do your job.

1438
01:01:05,128 --> 01:01:06,796
Santos, you don't have any power.

1439
01:01:07,397 --> 01:01:10,299
I called this meeting,
so you could get your head on straight,

1440
01:01:10,366 --> 01:01:13,970
but I can see
it's still shoved up your ass.

1441
01:01:14,804 --> 01:01:16,439
-My ass?
-Yes.

1442
01:01:17,640 --> 01:01:19,075
Over the past four months,

1443
01:01:19,809 --> 01:01:21,377
I got to know who you are,

1444
01:01:21,444 --> 01:01:23,312
and what makes you thick,

1445
01:01:23,379 --> 01:01:27,917
and you just love having
that big feather in your cap, huh?

1446
01:01:27,984 --> 01:01:30,386
The only reason
why you're "the Don of NXT"

1447
01:01:30,453 --> 01:01:32,689
is because you sent Ciampa packing,

1448
01:01:33,690 --> 01:01:35,591
so I offer the same.

1449
01:01:35,658 --> 01:01:37,093
One final match,

1450
01:01:37,994 --> 01:01:39,696
but we up the stakes.

1451
01:01:40,430 --> 01:01:42,665
Next week, Heatwave.

1452
01:01:42,732 --> 01:01:45,568
You beat me, I'm gone.

1453
01:01:46,602 --> 01:01:50,640
Never to be seen again in NXT.

1454
01:01:52,008 --> 01:01:52,909
Never?

1455
01:01:53,609 --> 01:01:54,677
[in Spanish]

1456
01:01:57,146 --> 01:02:00,249
Okay, but I get to keep those three sheep

1457
01:02:00,316 --> 01:02:02,585
because without you,
they were starting to come around.

1458
01:02:03,519 --> 01:02:04,787
They are not sheep.

1459
01:02:05,354 --> 01:02:06,856
They're my [in Spanish].

1460
01:02:06,923 --> 01:02:08,124
They're sheep.

1461
01:02:09,192 --> 01:02:12,061
You can keep them, but if win,

1462
01:02:12,628 --> 01:02:16,499
El Legado Del Fantasma
is free from the D'Angelo family.

1463
01:02:16,566 --> 01:02:17,600
Capisce?

1464
01:02:19,102 --> 01:02:20,837
You got your match

1465
01:02:20,903 --> 01:02:22,739
under one condition.

1466
01:02:22,805 --> 01:02:24,841
This ain't going to be a regular match.

1467
01:02:24,907 --> 01:02:26,976
This match is going to be under rules

1468
01:02:27,577 --> 01:02:29,612
me and you are very familiar with.

1469
01:02:29,679 --> 01:02:32,215
We settle this man-to-man.

1470
01:02:32,281 --> 01:02:35,685
We do this in a street fight.

1471
01:02:35,752 --> 01:02:38,454
[in Spanish]

1472
01:02:38,521 --> 01:02:39,789
Street fight.

1473
01:02:40,623 --> 01:02:43,626
I win, Legado is free.

1474
01:02:44,260 --> 01:02:47,797
I win, you're history.

1475
01:02:47,864 --> 01:02:49,999
You got it, boss.

1476
01:02:50,733 --> 01:02:51,701
Deal.

1477
01:02:51,768 --> 01:02:53,269
[tense music plays]

1478
01:02:56,639 --> 01:02:58,141
Next week, we find out

1479
01:02:58,207 --> 01:03:00,843
who's the true leader of leaders.

1480
01:03:01,944 --> 01:03:04,380
Go say your goodbyes to the Legados,

1481
01:03:04,447 --> 01:03:07,550
because at Heatwave, I rid NXT

1482
01:03:07,617 --> 01:03:10,386
of Santos Escobar for good.

1483
01:03:18,694 --> 01:03:21,264
[steps]

1484
01:03:28,271 --> 01:03:30,039
Now, I can finally relax.

1485
01:03:30,840 --> 01:03:33,810
-I've been waiting for you, Stratton.
-What?

1486
01:03:33,876 --> 01:03:36,179
[screams, grunts]

1487
01:03:36,245 --> 01:03:38,447
-[sound of glass breaking]
-[Stratton grunts]

1488
01:03:40,149 --> 01:03:44,787
-[Stratton] How you like that, Tiffy?
-[grunts]

1489
01:03:48,457 --> 01:03:50,526
This isn't over.

1490
01:03:56,832 --> 01:04:00,670
[Wade] There is nothing whimsical
about Wendy Choo.

1491
01:04:00,736 --> 01:04:02,738
That was just straight savage.

1492
01:04:04,240 --> 01:04:05,641
[bell rings]

1493
01:04:05,708 --> 01:04:09,011
[Alicia] The following is a Tag Team
match scheduled for one fall.

1494
01:04:09,078 --> 01:04:12,715
Introducing first, Pretty Deadly.

1495
01:04:12,782 --> 01:04:15,117
[Vic] Much like Stratton,
here's two individuals who think

1496
01:04:15,184 --> 01:04:16,252
very highly of themselves.

1497
01:04:16,319 --> 01:04:18,287
[Wade chuckles]

1498
01:04:18,354 --> 01:04:23,526
[music plays]

1499
01:04:34,737 --> 01:04:36,472
[crowd cheers]

1500
01:04:38,407 --> 01:04:40,743
[Alicia] Their opponents, the team of

1501
01:04:40,810 --> 01:04:44,614
Malik Blade and Edris Enofeé.

1502
01:04:44,680 --> 01:04:49,919
[crowd cheers]

1503
01:04:50,953 --> 01:04:53,556
[Vic] Let's talk about
Enofeé and Blade for a second.

1504
01:04:53,623 --> 01:04:55,691
They haven't had time to properly prepare

1505
01:04:55,758 --> 01:04:56,926
for this matchup.

1506
01:04:56,993 --> 01:04:58,227
[Wade] Is that what we're doing?

1507
01:04:58,294 --> 01:05:01,264
We're getting the excuses in on behalf
of Enofeé and Blade?

1508
01:05:01,330 --> 01:05:04,433
[Vic] You watched it! Lash
has been talking their ear off.

1509
01:05:04,500 --> 01:05:07,670
[Wade] She has, but that's not
an acceptable excuse in my book.

1510
01:05:07,737 --> 01:05:10,139
[Vic] You can't stretch,
you can't talk strategy.

1511
01:05:10,206 --> 01:05:14,377
[Wade] Enofeé and Blade had a full day
in this building to prep themselves.

1512
01:05:14,443 --> 01:05:16,078
If they had been paying attention, maybe--

1513
01:05:16,145 --> 01:05:17,913
[Vic] They were trapped.

1514
01:05:17,980 --> 01:05:19,815
[Wade] …maybe Lash Legend

1515
01:05:19,882 --> 01:05:21,817
could have taught them a trick or two,

1516
01:05:21,884 --> 01:05:24,754
but they were too important
to listen to Lash, right?

1517
01:05:25,187 --> 01:05:26,989
Wrong. They might regret that.

1518
01:05:27,990 --> 01:05:30,459
[Vic] I don't want to take away
from this matchup,

1519
01:05:30,526 --> 01:05:32,028
as we're about to start
this Tag Team contest.

1520
01:05:32,094 --> 01:05:34,997
I gotta go back to what we just
heard in that final accord.

1521
01:05:35,064 --> 01:05:37,366
-[bell rings]
-[Vic] Next week, street fight.

1522
01:05:37,433 --> 01:05:39,435
Escobar, D'Angelo, Heatwave.

1523
01:05:39,502 --> 01:05:43,005
[Wade] I cannot wait for that
but here's the kicker for me.

1524
01:05:43,072 --> 01:05:46,609
Do not let it get lost in the shuffle.

1525
01:05:46,676 --> 01:05:51,147
Santos Escobar loses
that matchup, he's gone from NXT.

1526
01:05:51,213 --> 01:05:53,015
We will not see him again.

1527
01:05:53,082 --> 01:05:55,151
[Vic] If he's victorious, Legado is free

1528
01:05:55,217 --> 01:05:57,219
from being under the Don's thumb.

1529
01:05:57,286 --> 01:05:58,754
[Wade] Oh, high stakes.

1530
01:05:59,455 --> 01:06:01,223
[Vic] This Tag Team match
of also high stakes.

1531
01:06:01,290 --> 01:06:03,960
You think about the Tag Team
like the Creed Brothers,

1532
01:06:04,026 --> 01:06:05,328
certainly have their own issues

1533
01:06:05,394 --> 01:06:07,363
going on with Roderick Strong right now

1534
01:06:07,430 --> 01:06:09,432
in Diamond Mine, and also had issues,

1535
01:06:09,498 --> 01:06:13,703
that being pretty deadly specifically,
with the NXT UK Tag Team champions.

1536
01:06:13,769 --> 01:06:16,372
[Wade] Yes, absolutely.
Brooks Jensen, Josh Briggs

1537
01:06:16,439 --> 01:06:19,675
holding those championships,
which, I'll be honest with you,

1538
01:06:19,742 --> 01:06:22,645
it's a scandal if you're from the UK,

1539
01:06:22,712 --> 01:06:26,549
if you were a participant over in NXT UK
and held those championships

1540
01:06:26,615 --> 01:06:29,352
previously that two
southern American rednecks

1541
01:06:29,418 --> 01:06:31,053
are now sullying those championships.

1542
01:06:31,120 --> 01:06:33,556
I know that is how
Pretty Deadly feel about it.

1543
01:06:33,622 --> 01:06:35,958
Well, they're very vocal
about how they do feel

1544
01:06:36,025 --> 01:06:38,194
about the NXT UK Tag Team champions,

1545
01:06:38,260 --> 01:06:40,963
but they should worry about Blade
and Enofeé right now.

1546
01:06:41,030 --> 01:06:43,699
What an elbow,
Enofeé into the cover, hook of the leg.

1547
01:06:43,766 --> 01:06:45,334
This would be a big win.

1548
01:06:45,401 --> 01:06:48,237
A kick-out though at the count of one,
and look Enofeé and Blade

1549
01:06:48,304 --> 01:06:51,207
have said, they have
some pent-up aggression

1550
01:06:51,273 --> 01:06:53,376
here tonight
after listening to Lash Legend

1551
01:06:53,442 --> 01:06:54,844
for the better part of 90 minutes.

1552
01:06:54,910 --> 01:06:57,513
[Wade] That's cool
if you ask me, but I will say this

1553
01:06:57,580 --> 01:07:01,350
Enofeé and Blade
are climbing the ranks week in, week out.

1554
01:07:01,417 --> 01:07:04,053
There's really not many weaknesses

1555
01:07:04,120 --> 01:07:06,288
to Enofeé and Blade.
They're going to be a big deal,

1556
01:07:06,355 --> 01:07:09,291
I just don't think they've quite
got themselves that signature

1557
01:07:09,358 --> 01:07:11,694
win to put themselves on the map yet.

1558
01:07:11,761 --> 01:07:14,263
[Vic] Pretty Deadly right now
working as a team,

1559
01:07:14,330 --> 01:07:16,432
and right now taking it to Blade.

1560
01:07:16,499 --> 01:07:20,069
[Wade] Quickly into the cover.
Blade, hook of the leg and a kick-out.

1561
01:07:20,136 --> 01:07:21,570
Just able to get his shoulder up,

1562
01:07:21,637 --> 01:07:23,406
but let's talk about Pretty Deadly.

1563
01:07:23,472 --> 01:07:25,808
Couldn't help themselves last week,

1564
01:07:25,875 --> 01:07:28,744
but first, let's talk
about this Tag Team continuity,

1565
01:07:28,811 --> 01:07:30,880
which has made them champs in the past.

1566
01:07:30,946 --> 01:07:32,848
Could it make them champs again?

1567
01:07:32,915 --> 01:07:36,485
They interfered
in Jensen's match with Joe Gacy.

1568
01:07:36,552 --> 01:07:39,688
[Wade] Jensen's walking around
with that NXT UK Championship

1569
01:07:39,755 --> 01:07:41,457
like he owns it.

1570
01:07:41,524 --> 01:07:42,892
In my opinion, it should be

1571
01:07:42,958 --> 01:07:45,194
rightfully around
the waist of pretty deadly.

1572
01:07:45,261 --> 01:07:47,930
-[Vic] They didn't win.
-[Wade] They look good with gold.

1573
01:07:47,997 --> 01:07:50,433
[Wade] It goes well
with their purple outfits.

1574
01:07:50,499 --> 01:07:52,535
[Vic] Again, they weren't victorious

1575
01:07:52,601 --> 01:07:54,270
when they had the opportunity to do so,

1576
01:07:54,336 --> 01:07:56,605
so it doesn't really matter
what you think.

1577
01:07:56,672 --> 01:07:58,274
They couldn't get the job done
when the championships

1578
01:07:58,340 --> 01:08:00,743
were on the line, but Pretty Deadly

1579
01:08:00,810 --> 01:08:02,211
getting the job done right now,

1580
01:08:02,278 --> 01:08:04,513
as prince into the cover.
Another hook of the leg,

1581
01:08:04,580 --> 01:08:06,282
and another kick out by Blade.

1582
01:08:06,348 --> 01:08:09,018
At the end of the day,
you can't argue with this fact.

1583
01:08:09,085 --> 01:08:12,521
Pretty Deadly only cares about themselves.

1584
01:08:12,588 --> 01:08:14,690
-[Wade] Absolute nonsense.
-[Vic] What?

1585
01:08:14,757 --> 01:08:16,592
[Wade] Just a few minutes ago we saw them

1586
01:08:16,659 --> 01:08:19,195
trying to help Lash Legend
when she was getting

1587
01:08:19,261 --> 01:08:21,697
disrespected by Enofeé and Blade.

1588
01:08:21,764 --> 01:08:24,567
Lash is just trying to pass on
the pearls of her own wisdom.

1589
01:08:24,633 --> 01:08:27,436
Oh, look at this. A page out

1590
01:08:27,503 --> 01:08:30,372
of Josh Briggs
and Brooks Jensen's books there.

1591
01:08:30,439 --> 01:08:34,076
-[Wade] Ride them, cowboy.
-[Vic] You find this great, don't you?

1592
01:08:34,143 --> 01:08:36,612
-[Wade] The rodeo, that's all it is.
-[cheer]

1593
01:08:36,679 --> 01:08:39,748
[Wade] That's a pair of champions,
right there, Vic Joseph.

1594
01:08:39,815 --> 01:08:42,585
[Vic] Speaking of champions.
Here come the UK champions,

1595
01:08:44,420 --> 01:08:47,556
Fallon Henley and quickly,
Pretty Deadly wants nothing to do,

1596
01:08:47,623 --> 01:08:49,658
nothing to do with Briggs and Jensen.

1597
01:08:49,725 --> 01:08:51,260
[Wade] They're in the middle of a match.

1598
01:08:51,327 --> 01:08:53,262
[Vic] Well, they better figure it out
because right now here comes

1599
01:08:53,329 --> 01:08:56,265
Enofeé, and Enofeé has his sight
set first on Wilson,

1600
01:08:56,332 --> 01:08:57,500
now on Prince.

1601
01:08:57,566 --> 01:08:59,435
[Wade] Fresh man in the matchup

1602
01:08:59,502 --> 01:09:01,804
exploding with pent-up aggression

1603
01:09:01,871 --> 01:09:03,472
that you mentioned earlier on.

1604
01:09:03,539 --> 01:09:04,773
[Vic] Again, if Pretty Deadly
wasn't focused

1605
01:09:04,840 --> 01:09:07,042
on something other than the match,

1606
01:09:07,109 --> 01:09:10,012
mocking the NXT UK Champions,

1607
01:09:10,079 --> 01:09:12,214
maybe they wouldn't find
themselves right now

1608
01:09:12,281 --> 01:09:14,216
driven face-first into the mat.

1609
01:09:14,283 --> 01:09:15,151
[Wade] They can mock them all they want.

1610
01:09:15,217 --> 01:09:17,253
It's only when the NXT UK tag champions

1611
01:09:17,319 --> 01:09:19,355
turned up on the outside
of this match changed.

1612
01:09:19,421 --> 01:09:21,757
-[Wade] Get it right, Joseph.
-[Vic] Uh-oh. Enofeé.

1613
01:09:21,824 --> 01:09:23,692
[Wade] Oh, he just elbowed.

1614
01:09:23,759 --> 01:09:25,961
[Vic] Will it be enough? Into the cover.

1615
01:09:26,028 --> 01:09:29,865
Hook of the leg, and Prince
saving things for his team.

1616
01:09:29,932 --> 01:09:32,568
[Wade] Tag Team cohesion,
that's what you call that.

1617
01:09:32,635 --> 01:09:34,870
-[Vic] I'm not arguing with that.
-[Wade] That's what makes champions.

1618
01:09:34,937 --> 01:09:37,873
[Vic] What is Prince doing?

1619
01:09:38,774 --> 01:09:41,577
Why did-- A steel chair-- Oh.

1620
01:09:42,144 --> 01:09:45,581
[Wade] Ludicrous athleticism
from Malik Blade.

1621
01:09:45,648 --> 01:09:47,683
-[crowd cheers]
-[Vic] But, wait a minute.

1622
01:09:47,750 --> 01:09:48,817
What's the strategy here?

1623
01:09:49,418 --> 01:09:50,886
[crowd cheers]

1624
01:09:50,953 --> 01:09:53,322
[Vic] Briggs and Jensen-- oh.

1625
01:09:53,889 --> 01:09:55,858
[Wade] That's Briggs's fault.

1626
01:09:55,925 --> 01:09:57,693
You can't blame Kit Wilson for that.

1627
01:09:57,760 --> 01:10:00,729
[Vic] Blade taken care of on the outside.

1628
01:10:01,997 --> 01:10:03,365
Quick tag made.

1629
01:10:03,432 --> 01:10:05,568
Just like that, Pretty Deadly

1630
01:10:05,634 --> 01:10:07,970
able to clean up the spilled milk.

1631
01:10:08,037 --> 01:10:09,572
[crowd boos]

1632
01:10:10,739 --> 01:10:13,042
[Vic] Wasn't pretty,
but it was effective--

1633
01:10:13,108 --> 01:10:14,143
[bell rings]

1634
01:10:14,210 --> 01:10:16,178
-[Vic] For this duo tonight.
-[Pretty Deadly's music plays]

1635
01:10:16,245 --> 01:10:18,914
[Alicia] Here are your winners,
Pretty Deadly.

1636
01:10:18,981 --> 01:10:22,351
[Wade] I don't know.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

1637
01:10:22,418 --> 01:10:24,853
To me, that was superb stuff

1638
01:10:24,920 --> 01:10:27,523
from the former NXT UK Tag champs,

1639
01:10:27,590 --> 01:10:31,093
the former NXT Tag champs,

1640
01:10:31,160 --> 01:10:33,162
and soon to be once again in my opinion.

1641
01:10:33,228 --> 01:10:36,031
-[crosstalk]
-[crowd cheers]

1642
01:10:36,098 --> 01:10:39,568
[Vic] Lash Legend taking it to Henley.

1643
01:10:39,635 --> 01:10:41,503
[Wade] With the pump kick in heels.

1644
01:10:41,570 --> 01:10:43,105
[discussion indistinct]

1645
01:10:43,172 --> 01:10:44,607
[crowd cheers]

1646
01:10:45,808 --> 01:10:48,377
What? What? What?

1647
01:10:50,212 --> 01:10:52,615
What? [indistinct]

1648
01:10:52,681 --> 01:10:54,183
[Wade] Now, that is a trio

1649
01:10:54,250 --> 01:10:56,885
I didn't realize I needed in my life.

1650
01:10:59,221 --> 01:11:01,223
Lash is Pretty Deadly.
They're going places.

1651
01:11:02,358 --> 01:11:03,792
[indistinct]

1652
01:11:07,596 --> 01:11:09,698
Oh! Oh!

1653
01:11:09,765 --> 01:11:12,635
Hey, Grimes, careful going
through the door this time.

1654
01:11:12,701 --> 01:11:14,536
[chuckles]

1655
01:11:14,603 --> 01:11:16,805
Whoa, Mr. Grimes, Mr. Grimes,

1656
01:11:16,872 --> 01:11:18,440
you don't want to do that.

1657
01:11:18,507 --> 01:11:19,908
You're right, Hank.

1658
01:11:22,278 --> 01:11:23,178
I'm out of here.

1659
01:11:23,812 --> 01:11:25,014
[male voice] Cameron!

1660
01:11:28,851 --> 01:11:30,753
Where are you going?

1661
01:11:31,587 --> 01:11:32,888
I'm going home.

1662
01:11:36,425 --> 01:11:37,593
To who?

1663
01:11:45,768 --> 01:11:46,835
[door closes]

1664
01:11:49,772 --> 01:11:52,941
[female voice] Welcome to the generation--

1665
01:11:53,008 --> 01:11:56,278
[Wade] You think Gacy's starting
to through to Grimes?

1666
01:11:56,345 --> 01:11:57,913
[rock music plays]

1667
01:12:01,016 --> 01:12:02,217
[bell rings]

1668
01:12:02,284 --> 01:12:04,953
[Alicia] The following contest
is scheduled for one fall.

1669
01:12:05,020 --> 01:12:07,990
Introducing first, Cora Jade.

1670
01:12:08,057 --> 01:12:11,193
[crowd boos]

1671
01:12:11,260 --> 01:12:12,828
[Vic] You see just how the NXT universe

1672
01:12:12,895 --> 01:12:15,998
feels about Cora Jade.

1673
01:12:16,632 --> 01:12:18,367
[Wade] Thankfully, Cora Jade doesn't care

1674
01:12:18,434 --> 01:12:20,069
about the NXT universe anymore.

1675
01:12:20,135 --> 01:12:22,071
That's why she's having so much success.

1676
01:12:25,808 --> 01:12:28,210
[Vic] Cora Jade has turned her back
on just about

1677
01:12:28,277 --> 01:12:30,579
everyone that she once called a friend.

1678
01:12:30,646 --> 01:12:33,215
She is set for a fight tonight.

1679
01:12:35,751 --> 01:12:38,087
-I have my W.
-You did.

1680
01:12:38,153 --> 01:12:41,924
I owe Kiana James
another beatdown, but I got my W.

1681
01:12:41,990 --> 01:12:43,425
Now, it's your turn.

1682
01:12:43,492 --> 01:12:45,094
Cora Jade
is not going to stand in your way

1683
01:12:45,160 --> 01:12:46,895
of the NXT Women's title.

1684
01:12:46,962 --> 01:12:49,365
Just like no one's going
to stand in our way

1685
01:12:49,431 --> 01:12:51,400
of the WWE Tag Titles.

1686
01:12:51,467 --> 01:12:54,370
That is right. I got this, dude. Thanks.

1687
01:12:54,436 --> 01:12:56,772
Hey. Go get them.

1688
01:13:07,716 --> 01:13:09,518
[crowd] One, two, three.

1689
01:13:09,585 --> 01:13:10,953
[bell rings]

1690
01:13:11,019 --> 01:13:15,224
[Alicia] Here are your winners,
and new NXT

1691
01:13:15,290 --> 01:13:18,761
Women's Tag Team champions.

1692
01:13:19,528 --> 01:13:22,097
[Gigi] We held those Tag Team
Championships for so long.

1693
01:13:22,164 --> 01:13:24,967
That title felt that it was piece of me.

1694
01:13:25,033 --> 01:13:27,436
I can't believe we let that happen.

1695
01:13:28,337 --> 01:13:30,572
I never knew a real home.

1696
01:13:30,639 --> 01:13:32,441
Never had a constant in my life

1697
01:13:32,508 --> 01:13:33,976
until Toxic Attraction.

1698
01:13:34,042 --> 01:13:36,044
-[Gigi] Until those titles.
-[bell rings]

1699
01:13:36,111 --> 01:13:38,213
[Gigi] When you lose something so dear,

1700
01:13:38,280 --> 01:13:41,750
you can either reflect, or you can rebel.

1701
01:13:42,985 --> 01:13:47,856
[music plays]

1702
01:13:49,958 --> 01:13:52,728
[Jacy] Rock music
is the soundtrack of my life.

1703
01:13:52,795 --> 01:13:54,163
It's my release.

1704
01:13:54,229 --> 01:13:57,032
Rock music speaks to me
because it doesn't give a damn about

1705
01:13:57,099 --> 01:13:58,367
who you are and what you do

1706
01:13:58,434 --> 01:13:59,701
and that's me.

1707
01:14:00,836 --> 01:14:03,305
I don't play by anyone else's rules

1708
01:14:03,372 --> 01:14:06,909
because when I do things my way, I thrive.

1709
01:14:06,975 --> 01:14:09,645
I'm never going to change, ever.

1710
01:14:09,711 --> 01:14:11,413
[rock music plays]

1711
01:14:12,014 --> 01:14:14,616
[Jacy] Toxic Attraction
lives that rockstar life.

1712
01:14:14,683 --> 01:14:17,386
Seductive, sadistic,

1713
01:14:17,452 --> 01:14:19,388
and successful.

1714
01:14:19,455 --> 01:14:22,424
We are wounded, but a wounded animal

1715
01:14:22,491 --> 01:14:24,460
is the most dangerous kind of animal.

1716
01:14:24,526 --> 01:14:26,595
We are Toxic Attraction,

1717
01:14:27,463 --> 01:14:31,800
and we shatter your false reality.

1718
01:14:36,738 --> 01:14:38,941
Toxic Attraction, rebellious as ever.

1719
01:14:39,007 --> 01:14:41,310
But with me now is Apollo Crews,

1720
01:14:41,376 --> 01:14:44,947
and Apollo, a huge victory for you
tonight over Roderick Strong.

1721
01:14:45,013 --> 01:14:46,882
Hell, yes, it was a huge victory.

1722
01:14:46,949 --> 01:14:48,317
You saw it. Oh!

1723
01:14:48,383 --> 01:14:49,751
The whole world saw it, right?

1724
01:14:49,818 --> 01:14:51,420
Look, I'm going to tell you this.

1725
01:14:51,487 --> 01:14:54,623
I don't like Roddy,
and I definitely don't trust that guy,

1726
01:14:54,690 --> 01:14:57,359
but I'm stacking up win after win.

1727
01:14:57,426 --> 01:15:00,729
After win! I'm gaining that momentum.
You see?

1728
01:15:00,796 --> 01:15:02,564
Apollo.

1729
01:15:03,065 --> 01:15:05,334
Congratulations, mate. What a win.

1730
01:15:06,602 --> 01:15:08,504
Thanks man. I appreciate it.
It was a hard victory.

1731
01:15:08,570 --> 01:15:10,505
It was. I'm going to do your job again,

1732
01:15:10,572 --> 01:15:11,907
and ask the real questions.

1733
01:15:11,974 --> 01:15:13,675
-Why are you here?
-Why not?

1734
01:15:13,742 --> 01:15:15,577
You're here to take from me, right?

1735
01:15:15,644 --> 01:15:17,546
The rest of the locker room
is too scared to say it,

1736
01:15:17,613 --> 01:15:19,848
but I'm not. On behalf of 2.0,

1737
01:15:19,915 --> 01:15:21,416
you are not welcome here.

1738
01:15:21,483 --> 01:15:22,417
-Is that right?
-Yes.

1739
01:15:22,484 --> 01:15:23,752
Check my history, lad.

1740
01:15:24,553 --> 01:15:26,388
I already ran one guy out of here.

1741
01:15:26,455 --> 01:15:28,290
I got no problem making you next.

1742
01:15:28,357 --> 01:15:29,925
Okay, why don't you say
we do that right now.

1743
01:15:29,992 --> 01:15:31,360
Let me see it man. I'm not going anywhere.

1744
01:15:31,426 --> 01:15:32,995
Come on, let me see you try it.

1745
01:15:33,061 --> 01:15:34,463
I dare you to try it.

1746
01:15:34,530 --> 01:15:35,664
Where you going man?

1747
01:15:35,731 --> 01:15:37,299
I'm still standing here.

1748
01:15:37,366 --> 01:15:38,567
I ain't going nowhere.

1749
01:15:39,968 --> 01:15:41,870
[Wade] Wow, well, Apollo crews
may not be welcomed,

1750
01:15:41,937 --> 01:15:43,438
but this certainly is.

1751
01:15:43,505 --> 01:15:45,541
It's official. We saw it earlier tonight.

1752
01:15:45,607 --> 01:15:47,509
Carmelo Hayes now defends

1753
01:15:47,576 --> 01:15:49,711
the NXT North American title

1754
01:15:49,778 --> 01:15:51,547
against Giovanni Vinci right here

1755
01:15:51,613 --> 01:15:53,682
next week at NXT Heatwave.

1756
01:15:53,749 --> 01:15:55,951
[Vic] We all saw the final accord.
It is official.

1757
01:15:56,018 --> 01:15:57,853
Escobar, D'Angelo in a street fight.

1758
01:15:57,920 --> 01:16:00,155
If Tony wins, Santos is gone from NXT.

1759
01:16:00,222 --> 01:16:01,990
If Santos wins, Legado is free

1760
01:16:02,057 --> 01:16:03,458
from the D'Angelo family.

1761
01:16:03,525 --> 01:16:04,893
It goes down live next week

1762
01:16:04,960 --> 01:16:06,328
at NXT Heatwave.

1763
01:16:06,395 --> 01:16:07,629
[Wade] Yes indeed.

1764
01:16:07,696 --> 01:16:09,798
I sat between these two men last week,

1765
01:16:09,865 --> 01:16:12,067
and I saw the contract signed in blood.

1766
01:16:12,134 --> 01:16:14,303
It might get even nastier next week.

1767

01:16:15,804 --> 01:16:18,774
defends against the Irish Ace, JD McDonagh

1769
01:16:18,840 --> 01:16:21,410

[rock music plays]

1771
01:16:23,879 --> 01:16:25,213
[Vic] At NXT Heatwave,

1772
01:16:25,280 --> 01:16:26,848
it's gonna be very exciting,

1773
01:16:26,915 --> 01:16:29,585
but we want to welcome in
our guest at this time.

1774
01:16:29,651 --> 01:16:30,786
She is the NXT--

1775
01:16:30,852 --> 01:16:33,555
You stop. Stop right now.

1776
01:16:33,622 --> 01:16:36,692
Every week, you say nasty things
about this glorious lady.

1777
01:16:36,758 --> 01:16:40,762
Mandy Rose, it is an absolute honor
to have a human being

1778
01:16:40,829 --> 01:16:44,399
of your immense beauty and caliber with us
at the desk this evening.

1779
01:16:44,466 --> 01:16:47,402
-[Wade] Thank you.
-[Mandy] That's the welcome I wanted.

1780
01:16:47,469 --> 01:16:49,404
[Mandy] Thank you, Wade. Vic, please.

1781
01:16:49,471 --> 01:16:50,305
[Vic] I was getting ready to say,

1782
01:16:50,372 --> 01:16:51,707
it was Mandy Rose against this woman

1783
01:16:51,773 --> 01:16:54,443
next week at Heatwave
for the NXT Women's gold.

[Vic] What a night it will be next
Tuesday at NXT Heatwave.

1788
01:17:23,605 --> 01:17:27,075
Not only Zoey Stark, Mandy Rose
for the NXT Women's title.

1789
01:17:27,142 --> 01:17:29,611
How about Cora Jade, Roxanne Perez.

1790
01:17:29,678 --> 01:17:32,180
Two former friends, bitter nasty enemies.

1791
01:17:32,247 --> 01:17:35,784
That match also next week live
at NXT Heatwave.

[bell rings]

1793
01:17:37,052 --> 01:17:38,487
[Vic] There's a little bit
floating in the air

1794
01:17:38,553 --> 01:17:40,088
right now, because the question is,

1795
01:17:40,756 --> 01:17:43,158
will Stark make it to Heatwave,

1796
01:17:43,225 --> 01:17:45,594
because Mandy, you had
a very interesting proposal

1797
01:17:45,661 --> 01:17:47,529
to Cora Jade just last week.

1798
01:17:47,596 --> 01:17:50,165
[Mandy] Yes, Vic, it's very simple.

1799
01:17:50,232 --> 01:17:52,701
I told Cora Jade, "take out Zoey Stark,

1800
01:17:52,768 --> 01:17:55,670
so she's unable to compete,
and it's a win-win for the both of us."

1801
01:17:55,737 --> 01:17:57,506
-[Vic] Shoulders down.
-[Mandy] Why not?

1802
01:17:58,407 --> 01:18:00,242
[Wade] Yes, great answer. Listen to that.

1803
01:18:00,308 --> 01:18:02,944
Vic Joseph, sometimes in life,
you talk too much.

1804
01:18:03,011 --> 01:18:05,914
I love hearing the sound
of Mandy Rose's voice.

1805
01:18:05,981 --> 01:18:07,449
[Vic] Another cover, another kick-out.

1806
01:18:07,516 --> 01:18:10,986
[Wade] The greatest female champion
in the history of NXT.

1807
01:18:11,053 --> 01:18:12,621
[Mandy] You know your stats. Atta boy.

1808
01:18:12,688 --> 01:18:14,289
[Wade] You're always welcome, my lady.

1809
01:18:14,356 --> 01:18:16,925
[Vic] That's going a little bit
out there, don't you think?

1810
01:18:16,992 --> 01:18:18,560
Talk about Asuka.

1811
01:18:18,627 --> 01:18:20,429
I mean, we can keep throwing
names out there.

1812
01:18:20,495 --> 01:18:22,330
[Mandy] Oh, now you're going to start
comparing me to Asuka?

1813
01:18:22,397 --> 01:18:25,400
[Vic] He said you're the greatest women's
champion in NXT history.

1814
01:18:25,467 --> 01:18:27,736
[Mandy] Yes, remember,
I'm going on almost 300 days now

1815
01:18:27,803 --> 01:18:30,939
being your NXT Women's champion,
so put some respect on my name.

1816
01:18:31,006 --> 01:18:32,307
I don't think I've said it enough.

1817
01:18:32,374 --> 01:18:34,776
[Wade] Close to 12 months
as champion, Vic Joseph.

1818
01:18:34,843 --> 01:18:37,212
You better start learning
your stats like I know mine.

1819
01:18:37,279 --> 01:18:38,980
[Vic] It's not close to 12 months.
It's August now.

1820
01:18:39,047 --> 01:18:41,316
-[Vic] Never mind.
-[Mandy] Pretty close.

1821
01:18:41,383 --> 01:18:42,784
[Vic] As we're looking towards next week,

1822
01:18:42,851 --> 01:18:44,786
some of the NXT universe,
Mandy, you're actually saying

1823
01:18:44,853 --> 01:18:46,722
the reason you had that
conversation with Cora Jade

1824
01:18:46,788 --> 01:18:49,157
is because you are scared of Zoey Stark--

1825
01:18:49,224 --> 01:18:51,460
-[Vic] Stark able to kick out.
-[Mandy] Scared?

1826
01:18:51,526 --> 01:18:54,529
[chuckles] Vic, where are you
getting your information?

1827
01:18:54,596 --> 01:18:56,465
Are you getting them
from the Internet trolls?

1828
01:18:56,531 --> 01:18:58,467
The same people who talk bad about me?

1829
01:18:58,533 --> 01:19:01,069
That drool over my photos every week?

1830
01:19:01,136 --> 01:19:03,371
[Wade] Vic Joseph is one of those people.

1831
01:19:03,438 --> 01:19:05,841
[Vic] I said definitely am not.
You certainly are.

1832
01:19:05,907 --> 01:19:07,642
Here's another cover,
and another kick-out.

1833
01:19:07,709 --> 01:19:09,177
Zoey Stark's in tiptop shape.

1834
01:19:09,244 --> 01:19:10,579
-[crosstalk]
-[Vic] Take a look.

1835
01:19:10,645 --> 01:19:13,014
-[Vic] What is the deal?
-[Wade] The reason Mandy Rose

1836
01:19:13,081 --> 01:19:14,549
wants to compete against Cora Jade

1837
01:19:14,616 --> 01:19:15,884
instead of Zoey Stark, the truth is

1838
01:19:15,951 --> 01:19:17,018
Zoey Stark has sat

1839
01:19:17,085 --> 01:19:18,687
on the couch for the past nine months

1840
01:19:18,754 --> 01:19:20,088
while people like Cora Jade

1841
01:19:20,155 --> 01:19:22,090
have been desperately
climbing the ladder here.

1842
01:19:22,157 --> 01:19:23,525
Who deserves the opportunity?

1843
01:19:23,592 --> 01:19:25,560
For me, it is Cora Jade, not Zoey Stark.

1844
01:19:25,627 --> 01:19:26,995
[Vic] Hasn't Cora Jade,

1845
01:19:27,062 --> 01:19:29,698
she's had an opportunity
at the NXT Women's title actually.

1846
01:19:29,764 --> 01:19:31,299
-[Mandy] Yes, I beat her.
-[Vic] See?

1847
01:19:31,366 --> 01:19:32,434
[crosstalk]

1848
01:19:32,501 --> 01:19:34,069
[Mandy] I have a lot of respect
for Cora Jade.

1849
01:19:34,136 --> 01:19:35,070
You want to know why?

1850
01:19:35,137 --> 01:19:37,172
[Vic] We talk about Zoey Stark,

1851
01:19:37,239 --> 01:19:38,473
we talk about Nikkita Lyons,

1852
01:19:38,540 --> 01:19:43,678
both [indistinct] opportunity
at the WWE Women's Tag Team Titles.

1853
01:19:43,745 --> 01:19:46,481
-[Wade] I was listening to Mandy Rose.
-[Mandy] I know. He's so rude.

1854
01:19:46,548 --> 01:19:49,284
[Mandy] The reason I have
so much respect for Cora Jade is because

1855
01:19:49,351 --> 01:19:53,121
when I first got here, she listened
to every word that I had to say.

1856
01:19:53,188 --> 01:19:56,725
I explained to her
how to look like a superstar.

1857
01:19:56,791 --> 01:19:58,994
I gave her my hand-me-downs.
All my clothes.

1858
01:19:59,060 --> 01:20:02,063
She listens. Zoey Stark doesn't listen.
She's a know-it-all.

1859
01:20:02,130 --> 01:20:03,131
She thinks she knows everything.

1860
01:20:03,198 --> 01:20:05,534
[Wade] I agree with you completely, Mandy,

1861
01:20:05,600 --> 01:20:08,069
and you know, the rise of Cora Jade here

1862
01:20:08,136 --> 01:20:11,406
in NXT is solely down to your guidance.

1863
01:20:11,473 --> 01:20:14,242
[Vic] Into the cover, hook of the leg,
and Jade able to kick out at two.

1864
01:20:14,309 --> 01:20:16,111
All right.
Well, I'll ask you this then, Mandy,

1865
01:20:16,178 --> 01:20:18,380
you've had a great run as champion.

1866
01:20:18,446 --> 01:20:19,815
There's no doubt about it.

1867
01:20:19,881 --> 01:20:21,116
The days are adding up.

1868
01:20:21,183 --> 01:20:23,985
Is Zoey Stark the greatest test
to you as champion?

1869
01:20:24,486 --> 01:20:26,621
[Mandy chuckles] I don't know.

1870
01:20:26,688 --> 01:20:28,590
Why don't I ask you that question?

1871
01:20:28,657 --> 01:20:30,859
What makes her the greatest test?

1872
01:20:31,593 --> 01:20:34,830
[Vic] Oh, we may find out.
Zoey Stark, Jade in action,

1873
01:20:34,896 --> 01:20:36,598
continues on NXT.

1874
01:20:39,601 --> 01:20:40,936
Back live on NXT.

1875
01:20:41,002 --> 01:20:41,937
As you witnessed during the break,

1876
01:20:42,003 --> 01:20:43,238
it has been all Cora Jade

1877
01:20:43,305 --> 01:20:45,106
looking for the win. A kick out again.

1878
01:20:45,173 --> 01:20:46,908
Cora Jade, she's able to dish out

1879
01:20:46,975 --> 01:20:49,911
enough punishment to put
Zoey Stark on the shelf.

1880
01:20:49,978 --> 01:20:51,446
Jade could find herself

1881
01:20:51,513 --> 01:20:52,614
in a match-up with Mandy Rose

1882
01:20:52,681 --> 01:20:54,783
for the NXT Women's Championship
at Heatwave.

1883
01:20:54,849 --> 01:20:58,420
[Wade] Let's talk about Zoey Stark.
Zoey Stark has been entered

1884
01:20:58,486 --> 01:21:01,122
alongside Nikkita Lyons,
who we saw earlier tonight

1885
01:21:01,189 --> 01:21:03,325
into the WWE Tag Team Titles Tournament.

1886
01:21:03,391 --> 01:21:05,560
A massive opportunity for anyone.

1887
01:21:05,627 --> 01:21:08,129
Global spotlight
and a chance to grab gold.

1888
01:21:08,196 --> 01:21:10,866
I'll tell you this,
if Stark isn't focused,

1889
01:21:10,932 --> 01:21:13,034
first of all on Cora Jade tonight…

1890
01:21:13,101 --> 01:21:14,936
[Vic] Roll through, shoulders down.
Kick out by Jade.

1891
01:21:15,003 --> 01:21:18,006
[Wade] And then, of course,
NXT Heatwave, Mandy Rose

1892
01:21:18,073 --> 01:21:20,141
is gonna wipe the floor
with her next week.

1893
01:21:20,208 --> 01:21:21,977
[Vic] Well, that's
one person's perspective.

1894
01:21:22,043 --> 01:21:24,512
Let's focus on Cora Jade,
who is in control of this match-up.

1895
01:21:24,579 --> 01:21:27,782
and she [indistinct] to feel
it is her time to shine.

1896
01:21:27,849 --> 01:21:29,317
[Wade] Hell, yes, she is.

1897
01:21:29,384 --> 01:21:31,553
Look, Cora Jade has turned the corner here

1898
01:21:31,620 --> 01:21:34,189
in NXT, as far as I'm concerned,
cemented herself

1899
01:21:34,256 --> 01:21:37,392
as a bona fide
main event level competitor.

1900
01:21:37,459 --> 01:21:39,728
It's just unfortunate for Cora Jade

1901
01:21:39,794 --> 01:21:42,297
that she is existing in a timeframe

1902
01:21:42,364 --> 01:21:44,532
that has been dominated by someone

1903
01:21:44,599 --> 01:21:47,602
as untouchable as the great Mandy Rose.

1904
01:21:48,436 --> 01:21:50,805
[Vic] Well, Stark right now trying
to figure out her way free.

1905
01:21:50,872 --> 01:21:53,875
Does so. Shoulders down,
pinning predicament, and Jade

1906
01:21:53,942 --> 01:21:57,612
able to kick out at two.
Jade said she has been nauseated

1907
01:21:57,679 --> 01:22:00,215
since the return of Zoey Stark,

1908
01:22:00,282 --> 01:22:02,450
and Zoey Stark,
the one who eliminated Jade

1909
01:22:02,517 --> 01:22:05,287
in the battle royale
to become number one contender.

1910
01:22:05,353 --> 01:22:08,290
Starting to turn the tide
in this match-up here tonight.

1911
01:22:08,356 --> 01:22:11,793
Look, Zoey Stark, she's been champion
before in NXT, Wade,

1912
01:22:11,860 --> 01:22:14,362
she knows what it takes
to get the job done.

1913
01:22:14,429 --> 01:22:17,999
She could do so again
next Tuesday at Heatwave.

1914
01:22:18,066 --> 01:22:21,002
-[Wade] This is a very different--
-[Vic] Whoa, whoa.

1915
01:22:21,069 --> 01:22:23,204
-[Wade] Here we go.
-[Vic] It's different Cora Jade as well.

1916
01:22:23,271 --> 01:22:25,774
Jade was-- Questioned by you, Mandy Rose.

1917
01:22:25,840 --> 01:22:26,908
Put Stark on the shelf,

1918
01:22:26,975 --> 01:22:28,510
earn yourself an opportunity.

1919
01:22:28,576 --> 01:22:32,380
-[Vic] No. Whoa!
-[Wade] Of a victory for Cora--

1920
01:22:32,447 --> 01:22:34,082
[Vic] Whoa, no.

1921
01:22:34,149 --> 01:22:36,851
[Wade] Exploding German supplex there.

1922
01:22:36,918 --> 01:22:39,287
You get the sense this is less
about a victory for Cora Jade,

1923
01:22:39,354 --> 01:22:42,223
and more about the real prize,
which is an opportunity

1924
01:22:42,290 --> 01:22:44,893
at Mandy Rose's NXT Championship.

1925
01:22:44,960 --> 01:22:47,395
-[crowd clapping]
-[Vic] Zoey stark has been sitting.

1926
01:22:47,462 --> 01:22:49,497
[Vic] She has been waiting,
but most importantly,

1927
01:22:49,564 --> 01:22:50,999
she has been watching everyone,

1928
01:22:51,066 --> 01:22:52,801
and she's got
eyes on the back of her head.

1929
01:22:52,867 --> 01:22:55,170
In that moment, in showcasing

1930
01:22:55,236 --> 01:22:57,605
her power, planting Cora Jade.

1931
01:22:58,239 --> 01:23:00,542
We've seen Mandy Rose. I can't notice,

1932
01:23:00,608 --> 01:23:01,710
but, Mandy, you've been very silent,

1933
01:23:01,776 --> 01:23:04,579
as you have been focused
on both these superstars,

1934
01:23:04,646 --> 01:23:07,582
specifically, Zoey Stark,
who is starting to heat up

1935
01:23:07,649 --> 01:23:09,951
ahead of your Heatwave clash next Tuesday.

1936
01:23:10,018 --> 01:23:12,287
[Mandy] Yes, that's what champions
do, Vic, okay?

1937
01:23:12,354 --> 01:23:13,288
I'm focused.

1938
01:23:13,355 --> 01:23:16,124
[Wade] Mandy Rose
studying her next victim.

1939
01:23:16,191 --> 01:23:18,860
It's the smartest thing
I've heard all night, although it has

1940
01:23:18,927 --> 01:23:20,695
to be said I've been sat
next to Vic Joseph,

1941
01:23:20,762 --> 01:23:22,464
so that's not necessarily a huge claim.

1942
01:23:22,530 --> 01:23:24,132
[Vic] Stark sending a message
to the champion.

1943
01:23:24,199 --> 01:23:26,534
Into the cover. [indistinct]

1944
01:23:26,601 --> 01:23:28,903
Jade able to kick out.

1945
01:23:29,704 --> 01:23:30,605
[indistinct]

1946
01:23:31,573 --> 01:23:34,075
[Vic] Some sort of nervousness
to you right there, Mr. Wade.

1947
01:23:34,142 --> 01:23:36,244
[Wade] Absolutely not.
I'll say Mandy Rose is loving

1948
01:23:36,311 --> 01:23:38,513
every second of these two
tearing each other apart just

1949
01:23:38,580 --> 01:23:40,749
making her job even more easy next week.

1950
01:23:40,815 --> 01:23:42,851
[Vic] Look at stark,
hitting on all cylinders.

1951
01:23:42,917 --> 01:23:45,954
Another massive supplex turning
Jade inside out.

1952
01:23:46,021 --> 01:23:47,989
[Wade] What a nasty landing for Cora Jade.

1953
01:23:48,056 --> 01:23:51,359
[Vic] Into the cover and Jade.
[chuckles] Give her credit

1954
01:23:51,426 --> 01:23:52,861
where credit is due.

1955
01:23:52,927 --> 01:23:55,030
Jade was able to kick out,
but take a look,

1956
01:23:55,096 --> 01:23:57,432
as you called it Wade,
at the nasty landing, bam.

1957
01:23:57,499 --> 01:24:00,035
[Wade] Yes, there ain't no training
in the world that will prepare

1958
01:24:00,101 --> 01:24:01,536
a body to land like that.

1959
01:24:01,603 --> 01:24:03,738
Cora Jade, hats off to you for
kicking out of that one.

1960
01:24:03,805 --> 01:24:05,507
[crowd cheers]

1961
01:24:05,573 --> 01:24:08,376
[Vic] Now, Stark measuring Jade.

1962
01:24:09,110 --> 01:24:10,645
-[Vic] Oh.
-[Wade] Oh.

1963
01:24:10,712 --> 01:24:12,781
[Wade] Well received right there.
Straight to the jaw.

1964
01:24:14,849 --> 01:24:17,218
-[Vic] Now, Jade measuring Stark.
-[Wade] Oh, a little slip.

1965
01:24:17,285 --> 01:24:19,187
[Vic] Oh, you got a match,
and fatigue starting to settle

1966
01:24:19,254 --> 01:24:20,688
on both these superstars, but what?

1967
01:24:20,755 --> 01:24:22,290
But what a super-kick.

1968
01:24:22,357 --> 01:24:24,759
Again it's Stark into another cover.

1969
01:24:24,826 --> 01:24:26,161
[crowd cheers]

1970
01:24:26,227 --> 01:24:27,862
-[Vic] Another kick out.
-[Mandy] Oh.

1971
01:24:27,929 --> 01:24:29,264
[Mandy] Come on, Cora.

1972
01:24:30,098 --> 01:24:31,433
Oh.

1973
01:24:31,499 --> 01:24:33,968
[Vic] You've got to imagine
the momentum for Stark building,

1974
01:24:34,035 --> 01:24:36,071
only to Heatwave next Tuesday,

1975
01:24:36,137 --> 01:24:37,639
but also in the aforementioned

1976
01:24:37,705 --> 01:24:40,608
WWE Women's Tag Team
Championship Tournament.

1977
01:24:40,675 --> 01:24:41,910
Nikkita Lyons was victorious

1978
01:24:41,976 --> 01:24:44,312
earlier tonight, the partner of Stark.

1979
01:24:44,379 --> 01:24:45,713
Can she do the same in the main event?

1980
01:24:45,780 --> 01:24:48,149
[Wade] Yes, let's not
get ahead of ourselves.

1981
01:24:48,216 --> 01:24:51,419
Zoey Stark really has
her hands full tonight.

1982
01:24:51,486 --> 01:24:54,289
Needs to get top gear
if she's going to pull this one out.

1983
01:24:54,355 --> 01:24:56,591
[Vic] Well, speaking of that again,
look at Zoey Stark able to stay

1984
01:24:56,658 --> 01:24:58,760
one step ahead for the moment,
able to land on her feet.

1985
01:24:58,827 --> 01:25:01,129
Jade had an answer and a counter.

1986
01:25:01,196 --> 01:25:03,198
[Wade] Cora Jade, nice bag of tricks

1987
01:25:03,264 --> 01:25:07,335
she's developing here,
as she grows in NXT.

1988
01:25:07,402 --> 01:25:08,770
[Vic] Hammerlock DDT.

1989
01:25:08,837 --> 01:25:09,771
[crowd] One, two--

1990
01:25:09,838 --> 01:25:11,139
[Vic] Kick out by Stark

1991
01:25:11,206 --> 01:25:15,076
and listen to the NXT
universe fueling Zoey Stark.

1992
01:25:15,143 --> 01:25:18,947
[crowd cheers]

1993
01:25:21,616 --> 01:25:25,019
[crowd] Zoey! Zoey! Zoey!

1994
01:25:25,086 --> 01:25:26,788
[Vic] One more time, Jade.

1995
01:25:26,855 --> 01:25:29,958
This time connects
with a little bit of sliced bread.

1996
01:25:30,024 --> 01:25:31,493
Another cover, another count.

1997
01:25:31,559 --> 01:25:33,194
Stark powers out.

1998
01:25:33,261 --> 01:25:34,262
[crowd cheers]

1999
01:25:34,329 --> 01:25:35,330
[Mandy] Oh, my goodness.

2000
01:25:35,396 --> 01:25:36,698
[Wade] Zoey Stark currently

2001
01:25:36,764 --> 01:25:38,366
possessing that ability

2002
01:25:38,433 --> 01:25:40,768
to dig deep when it really counts.

2003
01:25:40,835 --> 01:25:43,371
Showing no signs of ring rust,
despite that nine months

2004
01:25:43,438 --> 01:25:44,672
on the shelf that she suffered.

2005
01:25:44,739 --> 01:25:49,978
[crowd chants] This is awesome!

2006
01:25:50,044 --> 01:25:51,679
[Vic] Cora Jade looked over.

2007
01:25:51,746 --> 01:25:52,914
She saw the--

2008
01:25:53,648 --> 01:25:54,616
Whoa.

2009
01:25:54,682 --> 01:25:56,484
She's seeing Roxanne Perez.

2010
01:25:56,551 --> 01:25:58,520
[Wade] She's seeing her worst nightmare.

2011
01:25:58,586 --> 01:26:00,121
[crowd cheers]

2012
01:26:02,724 --> 01:26:05,493
[Vic] Jade, turning right back around,

2013
01:26:05,560 --> 01:26:07,328
and Stark now sending a message

2014
01:26:07,395 --> 01:26:09,964
to the NXT Women's champion.

2015
01:26:10,031 --> 01:26:12,901
[crowd] One, two, three.

2016
01:26:12,967 --> 01:26:16,471
[Vic] Great momentum. Victory for Stark.

2017
01:26:17,772 --> 01:26:20,642
[Alicia] Here is your winner, Zoey Stark.

2018
01:26:21,676 --> 01:26:25,613
[Vic] We talk about building
momentum brick-by-brick

2019
01:26:25,680 --> 01:26:26,981
for Stark.

2020
01:26:27,749 --> 01:26:29,417
[Wade] It seems she can't miss

2021
01:26:29,484 --> 01:26:32,720
right now on the ascent with gold,

2022
01:26:32,787 --> 01:26:35,657
and Mandy Rose in her line of sight.

2023
01:26:36,224 --> 01:26:40,028
[Vic] Stark has not taken her eyes
off of Mandy Rose,

2024
01:26:40,094 --> 01:26:42,430
but look, it was right here. Cora Jade…

2025
01:26:43,898 --> 01:26:47,435
wouldn't believe when she turned around
she saw Roxanne Perez,

2026
01:26:47,502 --> 01:26:49,404
and then bam! Under the jaw,

2027
01:26:49,470 --> 01:26:50,939
maybe the knock-out blow,

2028
01:26:51,005 --> 01:26:54,075
and for a little extra Zoey Stark sending

2029
01:26:54,142 --> 01:26:56,010
a message, not just to Jade,

2030
01:26:56,077 --> 01:26:57,512
to the women's locker room,

2031
01:26:57,579 --> 01:26:59,080
but with that point and that stare

2032
01:26:59,147 --> 01:27:02,617
to Mandy Rose, the NXT Women's champion.

2033
01:27:04,919 --> 01:27:06,888
[music plays]

2034
01:27:09,224 --> 01:27:12,493
You have nowhere to hide now.

2035
01:27:13,962 --> 01:27:15,763
-[Vic] Oh.
-[crowd chocked]

2036
01:27:15,830 --> 01:27:17,398
[Vic] It's Perez now, [chuckles]
