[WWE intro music]
[man] Then.
Now.
The king of kings, you can't see me!
Forever.
Together.
[music]
[Vic] Legacy will be established, bragging rights will be claimed
and championships unified.
Welcome to Worlds Collide!
Smack Down's Ricochet, NXT's Carmelo Hayes for the NXT North American title.
Two high octane superstars.
Ricochet now. Wait a minute. Carmelo-- Whoa.
[music]
Williams sticking his nose and pays the price.
Inside cradle. Whoa, he got him.
[Wade] Lightning fast reflexes,
still the North American champ, still the A-champ Carmelo Hayes.
[Vic] This powder keg has exploded.
[Wade] Swinging already. No bell.
[Vic] This thing is just exploding, all-out chaos.
These superstars are showing you what it means to them
to be the Unified Tag Team Champions.
And now-- what the hell?
[Wade] Damon Kemp. What a turncoat.
[Vic] Kemp getting the official back up.
You got to be kidding me.
Pretty Deadly the Unified NXT Tag Team Champions.
Yes, boys.
[indistinct]
[Vic] Which woman makes history
in the women's triple threat unification match at Worlds Collide?
[Wade] If Mandy Rose wins tonight, she will be the number one of all time.
[Vic] Look at Satomura. Scorpio rising. Satomura climbing over.
Kick by the Rose. Rose makes history tonight.
[Wade] Finally put some damn respect on the name of Mandy Rose.
[Vic] It's the NXT Championship Unification match.
Two great champions go one-on-one and by the end of the night
only one will call themselves the true champion of NXT.
[Vic] What a moment for these two.
Only one standing tall at the end of the night.
Who will it be?
Oh, my god. Unreal.
[Wade] What a performance from Tyler Bate but unifying those championships
none other than Bron Breakker.
[Tyler Bate's music playing]
[Vic] The world has been buzzing all labor day weekend
about the WWE and NXT.
Tonight, we will feel the global fall out from Worlds Collide.
Welcome to NXT.
[music]
[crowd cheering]
[announcer] Please welcome Tyler Bate.
[Vic] We begin with a superstar who walked in on Sunday with gold,
did not walk out a Unified Champion,
but nothing but admiration for the "Big Strong Boy."
[Wade] What an effort from Tyler Bate at Worlds Collide.
A lot of talk in that building about that match up,
about not letting down the legacy of a championship.
Let me tell you this.
Tyler Bate didn't let anybody down, left it all on the mat,
came within a whisker of unifying those championships,
just beaten on the day by someone who was slightly better.
[crowd chanting] Big Strong Boy!
I just wanted to take this moment to thank you all
from the very bottom of my heart.
[crowd cheering]
[crowd chanting] Thank you, Tyler!
I want to thank all of you who came out on Sunday
with all of your love, your generosity.
I want to thank all of you who have backed NXT UK
from the very beginning,
[crowd cheering] Thank you!
And I also want to thank Bron Breakker.
[crowd booing]
Bron Breakker, he proved to the world on Sunday
that he is not only Breakker by name but he is Breakker by nature.
[cheers and applause]
As much as I'd have loved to walk away having unified those tittles,
we created magic,
and I am grateful to have shared
that magical moment with all of you beautiful people.
[cheers and applause]
Now that being said,
my name will forever remain in the history books
as the first and the last NXT UK Champion.
[cheers and applause]
And I hope that I represented NXT UK
to the very best of my abilities.
[Gallus' music playing]
[Gallus] No, no, no. That's enough.
That's enough. That's plenty.
This ends tonight.
Tyler, you're not here thanking people?
-You should be apologizing. -Yes.
You should be apologizing to everybody back home.
England, Wales, Ireland and especially everybody in Scotland.
You let the UK down, and more importantly, Tyler,
you let a whole locker room down.
Joe, he has done more than that. He let the whole of Europe down.
He had one job and you blew it.
Tyler, you should be standing there a unified champion,
but you're not.
Hey, whatever happened to the Big Strong Boy?
[crowd chanting]
Now, I will admit Worlds Collide didn't exactly go
the way that I had hoped, but I can't help but notice
that you guys didn't keep your end of the bargain, either.
[cheers and apllause]
Where are your Unified Tag Team titles?
I thought this was Gallus' boys on top?
[laughing] Yes, very funny, very good, very witty, Tyler.
But just remember, son,
who you're speaking to.
Look around Tyler Bate.
There's three of us
and there's one of you.
[Vic] Well, Bate realizing that. I mean, this is absolutely--
[Wade] I don't fancy his odds here.
[Vic] The security is not going to be able to do that damn thing with Gallus.
[Wade] Tyler Bate didn't have a chance here. Just a mugging.
This is what Gallus do best.
[Vic] They're showing their true colors once again.
And let's be honest, Tyler Bate let no one down this past Sunday.
[Wade] Even I don't think-- whoa.
[Bron Breakker's music playing]
[Vic] There's Bron Breakker.
Breakker just ran through Wolfgang.
Mark Coffey and now Joe Coffey gets him some too.
[Wade] That is one way to even the odds.
[crowd cheering]
Gallus, you guys have caused nothing but problems
since you've been here in NXT.
On Sunday, worlds collided, but tonight worlds unify.
[crowd cheering]
You guys are looking for a fight?
Well, I'll stand with you, Tyler, because we're going to kick your ass.
[crowd cheering]
[Bron Breakker's music playing]
[Vic] Well, I hope this one gets made official.
What a colossal clash this would be!
Beautiful.
How are you supposed to decide which one is more beautiful?
It's like I'm trying to decide between Chris Hemsworth and Brad Pitt.
Brad Pitt is lovely. Isn't he?
So, Kit, we won the NXT UK Tag Team Championships.
In a massive victory.
Then we came over and we won the NXT Tag Team Championships.
In our first match, beating four teams.
Then on Sunday we unified both Tag Team championships.
Bringing three more teams.
Does that mean we are the greatest Tag Team of all time?
I think absolutely it does.
Yes, boy! Double side plate check.
Jinx. Jinx again.
There goes my Tag Team Unified Champions.
-Yes! -You guys are so good.
As a matter of fact, y'all's performance on Sunday was incredible.
-Love that. -Look though.
Don't even pay your mind attention to it. Just don't.
What do you mean?
No, but what are they saying to you? Tell us what are they saying.
Okay. Since you're making me say it.
They said that Damon Kemp was the only reason why y'all won.
-What? -That's the only thing they said.
-No. You're joking me! -I'm sorry.
Why is there always a problem no matter what we do?
-I don't know. -Everyone finds a problem in what we do.
It's people watching at home that always wanna pick, pick, pick.
-I'm sick of it. -I'm done with it.
Look, we need to get these framed, can you hold these for us?
-Take these for us. -I got you.
Every time there's a problem, they always [indistinct].
These people! I don't understand what it is.
[Wade] Listen, if anybody at home wrote a nasty tweet about Pretty Deadly,
delete it immediately and shame on you.
[Toxic Attraction's music playing]
[Vic] Most people aren't wrong.
Enough.
[bell ringing]
[female announcer] The following contest is a Tag Team match
scheduled for a one fall.
Introducing first, Gigi Dolin and Jacy Jayne, Toxic Attraction.
[Vic] Much like Pretty Deadly, here's another duo that just can't stand
when anyone else is in the championship spotlight.
Toxic Attraction, they're getting set, though,
to have to answer to Nikki A.S.H. and Doudrop for what they did
this past Sunday at Worlds Collide, this showdown next on NXT.
I can't thank you enough, Meiko. Thank you very much.
[Vic] After Worlds Collide on Sunday,
our digital cameras caught up with The Final Boss.
[man] Meiko, how are you feeling after Worlds Collide?
I'm disappointed, but I'm proud of everything from NXT UK.
Hey, Meiko.
Rough night for you, huh? Yikes.
Can't relate. So sorry you lost your title.
Look, I know you've done a lot in this business,
but one thing you haven't done is experienced the generation of Jade.
What do you say Tuesday, we change that?
Sorry, Cora.
I cannot accept.
Look, I know you're scared because it's going to be another L for you,
but hear me out.
You would get the chance to wrestle me or is The Final Boss scared?
No, I already have a match.
Huh. Against who?
A very respectful Roxanne Perez.
[crowd cheering]
-[man] Cora, can we get your thoughts-- -Just shut up.
[Vic] Cora Jade wasn't very happy,
but the NXT Universe is in for a treat tonight,
because it is official.
Meiko Satomura will go one-on-one with Roxanne Perez.
That match up still to come here live on NXT.
[Wade] I cannot wait for that.
[music]
[Vic] There you see Toxic Attraction.
You might notice there's a third member missing.
Mr. Barrett. I'm sure you haven't noticed.
I'm sure you noticed this post earlier today.
[Wade] Oh, my word. Mandy Rose looking as spectacular as ever
taking a well-earned vacation with her championships
after her heroics at Worlds Collide. She will be back next week, though,
for the one-year anniversary of NXT 2.0.
[Doudrop's music playing]
[Nikki A.S.H.'s music playing]
[female announcer] Introducing the team of Doudrop
and "Almost a Superhero" Nikki A.S.H.
[Vic] This team has a lot on their mind because someone argued
this duo should be the NXT Women's Tag Team Champions
tonight after what transpired this past Sunday.
Let's take you back two nights ago at Worlds Collide.
Doudrop, Nikki A.S.H. had everything under control
until Toxic Attraction would stick their nose
into this championship match.
Again, I told you, they can't stand another team taking their spotlight.
Nikki A.S.H. would isolate Toxic Attraction,
but that would open the door for the NXT women's Tag Team Champions
to take full advantage of the situation.
Right here, Jayne catching on to Nikki A.S.H.,
wouldn't allow Nikki A.S.H. to get back into the ring
to save things for her match and her team,
which brings us to tonight.
[Wade] Listen, you keep bringing up these complaints
that Toxic Attraction can't stand to share the spotlight.
Here's the deal, they are the greatest duo
to ever do it here in the Women's Division of NXT.
I completely understand Toxic Attraction's envy at Nikki A.S.H.
And Doudrop.
They should have had the opportunity first. That is the facts.
It's the same with Grayson Waller and Apollo Crews.
The same issue. Welcome to NXT.
You're all invited, but jump the line and you will get slapped down.
[Vic] Why would I expect anything else from you tonight?
[Wade] I'll tell you this, what a year I have had here.
[Vic] Before you continue,
into the cover goes Doudrop, near fall.
[Wade] What a year I've had here with Toxic Attraction.
We have become like Charlie's Angels.
[Vic] There's three women in Charlie's Angels.
[Wade] Hang on, I'm Charlie.
That would make me the Char, or Wadey, Wadey's Angels.
That's a pitch I'm going to be making very soon.
[Vic] That's the stupidest thing I've ever heard you say on this show.
[Wade] They'll like it, I'm pretty sure. Focus on the match, anyway, Vic.
[Vic] Yes, I'm going to try to as Nikki A.S.H. Into the cover.
And a kick out from Dolin.
The past year, everything you've said, that ranks near the top
of the most asinine things that ever come out of your mouth.
[Wade] How rude. And you're wrong.
[Vic] I'm trying to refocus.
Toxic Attraction is in control.
Still to come tonight, Trick Williams, Ricochet.
You talk about feeling the effects
of something that happened this past Sunday-- wait a minute.
Near fall. Nikki A.S.H. Able to kick out quickly.
Trying to get back into this.
I would ask you this, I already know the answer to it.
Do you believe Toxic Attraction has the edge in this match up?
[Wade] One hundred percent.
Listen, Toxic Attraction knows the territory down here so well.
They've already now seemingly isolated Nikki A.S.H.
A lot of fight in that youngster, though.
Back on top, but this is what Toxic Attraction do, they win.
It's that simple.
[Vic] So much to speculate as we mentioned
because of the interference from Toxic Attraction.
They're scared of Nikki A.S.H.
And Doudrop, and another near fall in this match up.
Nikki A.S.H. has really turned this match up around for her team.
[Wade] Let's be clear, Toxic Attraction fear nobody.
When you are as good as Toxic Attraction,
as battle-tested as Toxic Attraction, fear is simply an alien concept.
But I will grant you this:
Toxic Attraction would rather fight Chance and Carter
because Toxic Attraction have already defeated
Chance and Carter before,
and they will do it again for those championships.
[Vic] That's the point as to why they interfered because they're scared
of Doudrop and Nikki A.S.H. They're the unknown.
That's why they cost them the championships on Sunday.
[Wade] Give it a few more minutes and Toxic Attraction
will also have beaten Nikki A.S.H. And Doudrop.
It's a moot point either way.
[Vic] We do know a lot. We see the potential in this duo.
Apparently why the duo competed last night
against the WWE Women's Tag Team Champions.
A nasty fall for Nikki,
and Jayne certainly now is focusing in taking out Nikki A.S.H.
Right here in front of us.
[Wade] Perfection.
[indistinct]
Get back in the ring. Let's go!
[Vic] This certainly is what-- whoa, whoa.
Oh!
Have you ever seen Doudrop get dropped that fast?
Toxic Attraction is rolling.
[Vic] Tag Team action live on NXT.
Dolin and Jayne, as you witnessed throughout the commercial break,
have been in control of this match and in control of Nikki A.S.H.
Toxic Attraction has not taken their foot off the gas.
They've got to remember, for Nikki A.S.H. And Doudrop,
they have revenge on their minds here tonight.
[Wade] Yes, they do. But it's easier said than done.
Here's the problem for Doudrop and Nikki A.S.H.
Two days ago-- oh, here we go.
Two days ago, they were in a massive championship match--
[Vic] Off the cannonball, hook of the leg, and a near fall.
[Wade] Here at NXT yesterday, as you already mentioned,
they had a huge match against the Women's Tag Champions on Raw
all the way over in Kansas City.
Had to get up at 6:00 am to fly back here
to take on the best Women's Tag Team of all time here in NXT.
They have been burning the candle at both ends,
and they must be running on fumes at this point.
That is why they're going to get a mauling at the hands of Toxic Attraction.
[Vic] We've talked about Worlds Collide this past Sunday.
Certainly, the NXT Women's Tag Team Champions,
Chance and Carter, they're not happy with Toxic Attraction.
-[Wade] Not happy with Toxic Attraction? -[Vic] Yes, they're not.
[Wade] Why not? Because of Toxic Attraction,
Chance and Carter are still the Tag Team Champions.
They were getting absolutely battered by Doudrop and Nikki A.S.H.
At Worlds Collide until Toxic Attraction showed up.
I hope, in fact, that Chance and Carter sent a nice gift box
to Toxic Attraction after that. They owe them that. Big debt of gratitude.
[Vic] Yes, certainly that is not the case
as Nikki A.S.H. trying to battle back in this match up.
How about this match? Made official, main event.
What a Tag Team match up that will be! Breakker, Bate and Gallus,
and Jayne dropping Nikki A.S.H. with a neck breaker one more time.
Toxic Attraction, they have been in control.
[Wade] They're looking more vicious than ever.
[Vic] I spoke too soon.
[Wade] Looking to prove a point here today.
No doubt motivated, in part, by Mandy Rose's heroics at Worlds Collide.
About time the Toxic Attraction ladies were all carrying gold once again.
[Vic] This could be the turning point of the match up.
Nikki A.S.H. has suffered a lot of punishment
but does make it to Doudrop.
[Wade] Yes, and this is a big problem.
I spoke too soon.
No, I didn't.
[Vic] And Doudrop right now. Look at this offense.
Jayne trying to interfere again.
That's what Toxic Attraction does best, the numbers advantage.
[Wade] Risking a disqualification.
Luckily for Doudrop, took back full control.
[Vic] Doudrop. Oh!
Almost was able to get a little bit of revenge back
against Toxic Attraction, as two for one special,
but now the power of Doudrop on display.
[Wade] Not much more dangerous in this game than a raging Doudrop.
[Vic] Oh, nice suplex,
as Doudrop has been able to stay one step ahead of Gigi Dolin,
and now with Dolin in her sights, Doudrop going in.
This is personal for Doudrop and Nikki A.S.H.,
they believe they should be champions after Sunday.
[Wade] Oh, pancaked.
[Vic] Another cover, and Jayne.
[Wade] Just in the nick of time.
Superb Tag Team cohesion,
but don't take your eye off Nikki A.S.H. for one second.
[Vic] Action now spilling all over. Doudrop and Gigi, they're the ones legal.
Look at Nikki A.S.H.
[Wade] Being as vicious as she needs to be,
every dirty trick in the book she'll pull it out if she has to.
[Vic] It's a little bit of Nikki of the past.
[Wade] The Glaswegian talent for you.
[Vic] Focusing back in.
Again, it is Dolin and Doudrop who are legal,
and there's the power of Doudrop, planting Dolin center of the ring.
[Wade] Goodnight, Gigi.
[crowd] One, two, three.
[bell ringing]
[Vic] What a feeling it must be for Doudrop and Nikki A.S.H.
[female announcer] Here are your winners, the team of Nikki A.S.H and Doudrop.
-[Wade] Doudrop wearing the wounds of war. -[Vic] You can say that again.
[Wade] Doesn't bother her, though, it's all about the victory,
and that's what she grabs for the team of Doudrop
and Nikki A.S.H.
[Vic] Back to some of the action in this match up.
This was just about everything you could have imagined,
and bam, Jade, right in the face.
[Wade] Yes, that's how my nose ended up as busted as it is.
This is what you've got to be careful for in a Tag match,
always keep your eye on both opponents. Nikki A.S.H. doing the business.
[Vic] Bam, and then Doudrop getting a little bit of redemption back
for this past Sunday at Worlds Collide.
As we mentioned, what a feeling it must be
for Nikki A.S.H. and Doudrop.
The true test of a man's character is shown not in victory but in defeat.
Words were said, insults were thrown,
but now I fully see who I'm dealing with in Grayson Waller.
The first poke may have been accidental, but the second was unmistakable.
That blind bum Apollo Crews, you can kiss my ass.
He attempted to ruin my vision,
permanently blind me from seeing monumental moments.
All I can do is storm ahead, but when I look in that direction,
it's not a clear picture, it's too hazy, too grainy to make out.
Grayson Waller has blurred my vision.
But unlike Waller,
I'm not afraid of the unknown.
I got to be honest, I have never heard,
I don't think we have ever heard or seen this sort of side to Apollo Crews.
An eye for an eye will leave the whole world blind.
Well, Apollo Crews should be grateful
that Grayson Waller left him with one working eyeball.
[JD McDonagh's music playing]
[bell ringing]
[female announcer] The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
Introducing first, JD McDonagh.
[crowd booing]
[Vic] Undertaker: One dead man show is headed to Philly.
Join the phenom at the Theater of Living Arts.
Hear untold stories from his WWE Hall of Fame career
in an intimate setting on October 7th.
[crowd booing]
[Vic] Never turn down a one-on-one viewing,
can you imagine the stories from The Undertaker?
[Wade] I was fortunate enough in my career to hear one or two here and there,
but man, an entire night listening to those stories,
absolutely incredible, cannot miss.
[Vic] There, you're looking into the eyes
of a very particular individual, JD McDonagh.
[Wes Lee's music playing]
[crowd cheering]
[female announcer] His opponent, Wes Lee.
[Vic] There's a superstar, when you look into his eyes,
you see it's a man who has overcome and a man who is all business per usual.
[Wade] Yes, he is. Big, small, medium, brawlers, high-fliers, Wes Lee don't care.
He's out here to prove he is a match for anybody in NXT,
but I assure you of this,
he's never quite come across someone the likes of a JD McDonagh.
You mentioned how he likes things to be done in a particular way,
he likes his microphones held straight.
He has a rather unique workout routine involving cryo chambers,
and hanging upside down, a rather oddball to say the least.
[crowd chanting] Lets go, Wes Lee!
[bell ringing]
[Vic] Hear the love for Wes Lee from the NXT Universe.
Simply put, this is speaking from Wes Lee,
he gets spooked by JD McDonagh.
[Wade] Yes, spooked, freaked out, I get it.
McDonagh freaked both of us two out at the desk a few weeks back,
you were nearly in tears, actually, Vic, if I recall correctly,
practically crying out here.
If you're freaked out, Wes Lee, the best thing to do
is not run your mouth about JD McDonagh.
I suggest you keep quiet,
now you've just put yourself in the line of fire.
[Vic] McDonagh in control right now.
We talk about big, we talk about small, how about a monster of a superstar
who made his return on Raw, Braun Strowman.
[Wade] Oh, man, mass destruction.
Got a massive reaction from the audience at Raw,
the monster among men is back,
and let's be honest, he looks better than ever.
[Vic] Strowman will return to Smack Down this Friday,
but right now, look at these two. Wow!
You talk about athleticism,
Wes Lee has to be considered one of the best pure young athletes
here in NXT.
[Wade] The man's got the hops, he's got the reactions,
but the reactions weren't quick enough for the skulduggery of JD McDonagh.
[Vic] McDonagh, just like that, can snap
and turn around the complexion of a match up.
Look, it was Wes Lee who was taken a little bit back by McDonagh
who said he was-- and this is a "emotionally feeble".
[Wade] Emotionally feeble, feeble is not a word I would use
about any superstar, but certainly emotionally unbalanced at times,
I could say that about Wes Lee.
He's been picking fights with anyone in the locker room
who looked at him funny: Sanga, Xyon Quinn, Trick Willy, remember those.
But I get it, it's been a rough year for Wes Lee,
he lost the NXT Tag Team championships through no fault of his own,
lost his Tag Team partner.
Compared to the ice-cold JD McDonagh,
yes, I will say, in comparison he is mentally frail.
[Vic] Well, I would look at it the other way, that it's Wes Lee,
who's actually been able to overcome quite a dark period of time in his life.
And Wes Lee right now is taking it to McDonagh,
and that's a smile on Wes Lee's face.
[Wade] Seemingly on his way to overcoming JD McDonagh too.
[Vic] Whoa!
[cheers and applause]
[Vic] Back live on NXT,
and as you've witnessed throughout the break,
JD McDonagh has started to systematically dissect Wes Lee,
knowing just the right amount of pressure.
Take a look at this, during the break, bam, that sadistic kick, a nasty crash,
and that would lead to a sadistic smile we saw come over the face of McDonagh.
[Wade] This methodical torture is the modus operandi of JD McDonagh.
Once he has a wounded duck in there, torture, torture, torture
just full pain now for Wes Lee.
[Vic] Have you noticed every time we've seen JD McDonagh,
the apparent absence of guilt in him? He does not care what he does to anyone.
[Wade] I'm always careful what I say, I don't want to upset him,
but he definitely shows some elements of the dark triad personality type.
He is, a I would assume, narcissist, Machiavellian,
certainly has a lack of empathy for his opponents,
but this, it has to be said, is a cutthroat industry.
You got to be remorseless in here because give someone like Wes Lee
a little window of opportunity, you know he's going to take it.
[Vic] Lee trying to kick that door open right now.
A little extra aggression on every single strike from Lee.
-[Wade] Well it's payback time, isn't it? -[Vic] Double stomp to the spine.
[crowd cheering]
[Vic] McDonagh says his mind, his body, his heart
are all designed to be without weakness. I don't think this is what he had in mind.
[Wade] JD McDonagh knows full well he's going to need a-- whoa.
[crowd cheering]
[Vic] McDonagh. Wes Lee determined.
Again, you see this sick smile on McDonagh?
[Wade] This is one twisted individual.
[Vic] What, no. Get him of me, get him off me.
[Wsde] You damn right I wasn't helping you there, Vic, that's for sure.
You crying again?
[Vic] Shut up, Barrett. That was--
Meteroa, back to the action. Is it going to be enough for Lee?
[Wade] Are you okay?
[Vic] You ever look in that guy's eyes when he has that--
[Wade] I move fast that's why.
[Wade] Get ourselves back together here.
Look at this beautiful kick to the shnoz there from Wes Lee.
Now you see JD McDonagh in complete disarray
as he comes flying across our table.
Just about got out of the way in the nick of time.
[Vic] Now I understand why some in the locker room are taken back
by McDonagh.
[Wade] Why, because he doesn't hit the bar with the lads after the show?
[Vic] He's not going to do it--
[Wade] Bombard him with the rest of the meatheads?
He's a little bit different, but let's face it,
when he's in that ring, he's a dangerous individual
and he's going to win gold here at some point.
[Vic] McDonagh looking for the power bomb. Lee able to land on his feet.
Again, going low. McDonagh looking-- oh, what a knee from Lee.
Lee able to stay one step ahead for a moment, but just like that,
as quick as we just witnessed, McDonagh dropping Lee.
[crowd chanting] NXT!
[Vic] Now McDonagh again pulling-- Lee goes up. Lee goes over.
Shoulders are down, and oh, near fall.
-[Wade] Whoa. -[Vic] Whoa.
McDonagh holding on. Oh, jeez.
[Wade] Horrific kick to the face.
[Vic] Now, bam. Devil inside for JD McDonagh.
[crowd] One, two, three!
[bell ringing]
[JD McDonagh's music playing]
[female announcer] Here is your winner, JD McDonagh!
[Vic] A superstar who only cares for his own gratification
as you can see the look from the NXT Universe
towards McDonagh moments ago.
[Wade] McDonagh, when he had to turn it up to a new level,
he had that new level in the tank. Just when Wes Lee started to take control,
one of the most sickening kicks you'll ever see in that ring.
Following up with this. Devil inside, and goodnight.
[crowd] One, two, three!
[Vic] For McDonagh, a man who loves to inflict pain unto others.
[crowd booing]
Who made a better cappuccino than a espresso?
It's all right.
Oh, look who it is!
The Unified Tag Team Champions of the world.
-Big match up Sunday. -Actually, huge.
Thank you, some sense. You hear that?
I hear it. You know what, Kit? Screw all the other naysayers.
How are you, boys? What are we drinking? What we got?
-Expresso. You want a cup? -Expresso.
We've not had one before, but we are the champs,
so, yes, please, we'll take one.
-We'll try. -Go get them some.
Big win on Sunday, but I got to ask, how much did it cost?
-Cost? -How much did it cost?
There's not like an entrance fee or anything, you silly goose.
How much did it cost?
Mano. You got Damon to screw over Diamond Mine for free?
And you did on the up and up. I'm impressed.
You're impressed, are you?
We didn't ask Damon to do anything for us, all right?
We did this on our own. It was us.
Whatever you say, we won't tell anybody.
Yes, that is exactly what we say.
We beat Gallus, we beat Brit, we beat all the other teams.
Don't listen to people. We did it on our own!
You're just like the people online, aren't you?
-Always got something to say. -I'm done.
-Always. -I'm fed up.
"We did it on our own."
How about these, guys, huh?
[Wade] Listen, I hate to question Tony D, but you have to give Pretty Deadly
at least a little of credit for winning those championships.
-[Vic] Wade, please. -[Wade] This is the turning point.
[bell ringing]
[female announcer] The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
Introducing first, Roxanne Perez!
[Vic] We learned of this match Sunday night following Worlds Collide,
as we learned earlier with a digital exclusive,
Roxanne Perez getting set to go one-on-one
with maybe one of the greatest challenges of her career.
"The Final Boss" Meiko Satomura, next live on NXT.
I can't believe it's already been 12 months,
I can't wait for the one-year anniversary show,
next Tuesday live here on USA.
Also, you're going to have the power in your hands.
You're going to be able to vote on who was the biggest superstar
of the last year, right here on NXT 2.0.
I am not going to sleep for a week,
I'm just going to keep on voting for Mandy Rose.
I think that'll impress her.
[Meiko Satomuro's music playing]
[crowd cheering]
[female announcer] Making her way to the ring, Meiko Satomura.
[Vic] Well, you speak about Mandy Rose.
Of course, Mandy Rose unifying the NXT and NXT UK Women's tittles
this past Sunday at Worlds Collide.
Meiko Satomura, for the first time in over 400 days
not a champion, as she enters into the squared circle.
Oh, well, there is, of course, Cora Jade looking on,
who believes she should have this match up tonight with Meiko Satomura,
who respectfully declined Cora Jade's request
for a more respectful Roxanne Perez.
I just want to point this out, I'm looking up at Roxanne Perez,
our camera crew's done a great job as well,
to keep herself right now in the moment.
[Wade] If you noticed when Roxanne Perez came out before the break,
she actually slipped climbing up on the turnbuckle.
That's also its own story, I never seen her do that before.
She's doing that 'cause she's absolutely petrified in there,
taking on a living legend, The Final Boss.
[Vic] How big of a match is this for Perez?
You can see a little bit of trepidation, but there is some respect shown.
[Wade] It has been an awful six weeks or so for Perez,
lost her best friend, lost her NXT Women's Tag title.
Then, to rub salt in the wound,
she then lost to her former best friend Cora Jade.
Things have not been going well at all for Perez,
but a win against Meiko Satomura,
suddenly the entire world starts looking pretty good
once again for Roxanne Perez, but that is a big, big ask.
[Vic] That's going to be a huge coming out party also for Perez
if she's able to go toe-to-toe and pull out a victory
against a living legend, as you mentioned, in Meiko Satomura.
I have to imagine, though, for Perez, freaking out a little bit.
-Just a little bit, right? -[Wade] One hundred percent.
I'll take you back to my career back in 2011,
I remember stepping in the ring with a living legend in his own right,
Rey Mysterio, for the first-ever time.
I will tell you this, I was terrified in there,
I didn't want to put a foot wrong.
Of course, I did, and I lost the match quite easily to Rey Mysterio.
That's what happens and it was a great learning experience for me.
[Vic] Rey right now is nervous for his son, Dominik,
under the control of the judgment day.
But this is quickly turning from a respectful match up,
Meiko Satomura, she wants to get back on her winning ways
and is not taking it easy on Perez.
[Wade] Yes, Meiko gracious in defeat against Mandy Rose.
[Vic] I think that hit her in the jaw, and another kick out somehow.
[Wade] Meiko tweeted after the match that Mandy was, and I quote,
"The perfect champion."
Based on that, I really respect--
[Vic] Going for the submission.
[Wade] Meiko's grasp of the English language because I agree.
Losing a title is a blow to anyone.
Meiko Satomura, though, with four decades' worth of experience, she gets it.
She's dealt with ups and downs before, she's got back on the horse before,
dusted herself down and always comes back winning.
[Vic] Look at Roxanne Perez right now, taking it to Meiko Satomura.
I'm sure opening some eyes of those that are sitting in the back right now.
Look, for Perez, she is gaining a great reputation,
as is Perez.
[Wade] Yes, she's growing massively.
Time and time again here, what a huge three or four months
it's been for Roxanne Perez. Put this in perspective,
Meiko Satomura was a global name before Roxanne Perez was even born.
Meiko Satomura was competing in the mid 90s in WCW.
Compare that to three or four months ago,
no one on planet Earth knew who Roxanne Perez was.
[Vic] Well, they might know her tonight and even more so around the globe
as she almost was able to gain a three on Satomura.
[Wade] I tell you how impressed I am that Roxanne Perez
is even hanging in there right now.
I felt before this match up that Roxanne Perez
might be better off just asking Meiko Satomura for an autograph.
[Vic] Look at this. What a move.
What a pinning combination. What a near fall.
Look at Satomura quickly transitioning to the submission.
Right across the orbital bone and squeezing right now on Perez.
[Wade] That's those milliseconds of difference that make you a legend.
Gives you that experience. Made the big difference here.
[Vic] Shoulders down, another nice transition.
But look at Perez, crossface.
-[Wade] The never so nice Roxanne. -[Vic] Is Satomura going to tap out?
Could you imagine the feeling inside Perez
if she was able to make The Final Boss tap?
Satomura now trying somehow, battling, crawling, scratching,
trying to navigate her way to the bottom rope.
[Wade] Yes, Cora-- excuse me, Roxanne Perez clinging on for dear life,
[Vic] Cora Jade, right now, sitting in the back probably crying
like you said I was earlier tonight.
[Wade] She's fine.
Perez, you know Jade's got to be on the back of Jade's mind--
or Jade has to be on the back of Roxanne's mind.
[Wade] Yes, well, Roxanne did delete Cora's number from her phone,
blocked that number, said the friendship was over,
but the issues between Roxanne and Cora certainly are not.
[Vic] Whoa.
[Wade] Lethal dive now.
Roxanne Perez somehow full ascendancy here taking control.
Once again we see Cora Jade watching on, does not look impressed.
She's gone.
[Vic] Yes. She must've seen enough.
Don't miss a second of the action in our picture picture break,
Perez and Satomura.
[crowd chanting] Let's go, Meiko! Let's go, Roxie!
[Vic] Back live on NXT. This has been a hard-hitting affair.
The NXT Universe is split right down the middle
for The Final Boss and Roxanne Perez. This was during the break. Bam!
We talk about hard-hitting, take another look.
Feel that impact.
[Wade] That is utter insanity.
I give all the credit in the world for Roxanne Perez
for hanging in as long as she has done, but the class difference,
the experience difference has really started to show
in the last two or three minutes and it's been one-way traffic
just the brutalizing of Roxanne Perez.
[Vic] There you see the agony on the face of Perez.
This has been all Meiko Satomura for the last few moments.
It was the Hall of Famer, my favorite broadcast partner of all time,
Beth Phoenix, who called Satomura "The fabric of women's wrestling".
[Wade] Yes, well. [indistinct].
First thing you said was absolute nonsense,
but the second thing, yes, absolutely.
Respected all around the world by every female competitor
in this industry including, of course, Roxanne Perez
who's going to end up getting knocked silly in there at this point.
[crowd chanting] Women's wrestling!
[Vic] Listen to the NXT Universe right now for these two women,
and Perez is welcoming Meiko Satomura with every chop, with every kick,
and now it's Perez firing back.
[Wade] Finally getting a second win.
She's going to have to find a gear she has never found before
to pull this off, but I think she is finding it.
[Vic] Perez looking to clear her mind of the past few weeks,
of her former best friend by competing against The Final Boss here tonight.
[Wade] Yes, the nerves have completely gone now for Roxanne Perez.
[Vic] Oh!
[Wade] She was just starting to believe, as indeed was this audience,
but that is a game changer right there.
[Vic] Satomura living up to that Final Boss billing.
Somehow, Perez staying in this match up.
-Nice counter. -[Wade] Refusing to be denied.
Floats into a cover off the Russian leg sweep, and a near fall.
[Wade] Can the dream come true here?
[Vic] Now looking for another submission possibly.
[Wade] Pulling out every trick that she knows, Roxanne Perez.
[Vic] Look at Satomura, though. The right hand underneath the knee,
keeping a little bit of separation and allowing Satomura to get out,
and of course,
Satomura has learned some tricks in her nearly four decades of competing.
[Wade] That's the great thing about it. Always thinking, never panicking.
Always trying to get out of a hold and back into one of her own.
[crowd chanting] Roxie!
[Vic] Spinning heel kick right under the jaw,
and there's been three, four, even five strikes
that have landed flush onto the skull of Perez.
[Wade] Precision every time.
Hitting the bullseye with every single shot.
That can be the difference maker.
Roxanne Perez is learning the hard way just how good you have to be
to become a legend in this game, but she's still somehow in the fight.
[Vic] In the fight swinging away and taking a high risk. Will it pay off?
Perez.
What a moment this would be.
[laughing] Oh.
[Wade] Roxanne Perez in shock at this point,
perhaps Meiko Satomura too,
didn't think the youngster would hang in this long.
The question is what else does Roxanne Perez have to throw
at Meiko Satomura?
[Vic] Perez charging. Got caught, able to block and answer back.
Oh, another one under the jaw. Perez, could she be out?
[Wade] Just took a beat too long there, did Roxanne Perez,
coming up with the next offense.
[Vic] Satomura looking for Scorpio rising.
Right across the forehead of Perez,
and Satomura picks up the win, but hats off to Perez.
[female announcer] Here is your winner, Meiko Satomura!
[Vic] We talked about it Sunday with Tyler Bate.
You can gain a lot of respect in a loss
and that's what happened here tonight to Roxanne Perez.
[Wade] Not too often in this industry
you get a star-making performance in a loss,
but that's exactly what this was for Roxanne Perez.
A lot of people would've expected this match up to be over very quickly,
but Roxanne as we're seeing here,
gets a chance to be able to hang in there and win this one,
but when you're up against someone like The Final Boss,
there's an almost air of inevitability that this is the result.
Hats off to both ladies, brilliant performance.
[Vic] Wade, we talk about respect.
Look at the respect being shown right now from The Final Boss to Perez.
What a moment here live on NXT .
And for Meiko Satomura, getting back on her winning ways.
Wait a minute. Oh, come on!
[crowd booing]
[Vic] Coward's way out by Jade.
[Wade] What a way to kill the buzz.
Told you those issues weren't over.
[crowd booing]
[crowd chanting] You suck!
[Roxanne Perez's music playing]
Bron, I just want to say thank you for helping me out
earlier tonight against Gallus, I really appreciate it.
-No problem. -Look,
I know we're from different countries. NXT UK just ended,
NXT Europe is around the corner.
I just want to let you know, you are NXT, man.
-Let's kick Gallus' ass tonight. -Let's do it.
Well, they collided on Sunday,
but now the best of the UK and the best of NXT unite
in the main event, and I cannot wait.
Yes, they were all the talk Sunday. All the buzz after Worlds Collide,
but something else that also caught a lot of attention
coming off of Worlds Collide, Diamond Mine.
On Sunday the whole world was talking about Damon Kemp.
[Wade] What the hell?
That's not how I started in NXT.
The newest member of Diamond Mine, Damon Kemp.
Pan American Games Champion,
division one freestyle Greco-roman competitor,
from the university of Minnesota,
this guy is going to make you guys so much better.
How did I do?
Brutus and Julius Creed became one of the most dominant
Tag Team Champions.
[crowd] One, two, three!
And what thanks did I get?
Nothing.
Roddy didn't even put me in the singles ranks.
It's always, "DK, stay ready for whenever we need you."
I'm a Pan American Games Champion,
winning is in my DNA.
Matter of fact, you want to know a little secret?
I beat Brutus' ass in college, made him look like a little punk
and Julius was jealous of me because Roddy liked me better.
Hell, Ivy Nile had more of a say than I did.
I saw the Roddy and Julius beef coming from a mile away.
I could've squashed it, but instead, I decided to stir the drink
because I wasn't given the respect I deserve.
So, I decided to take Diamond Mine down from within.
I'm smiling because what happens when you put two alpha males
against each other?
Turmoil.
When I destroyed Roddy in the parking lot,
nobody thought it was me.
It was so hard to keep a straight face.
I gave the Creeds one last chance to extend their hand, accept me.
Easy, we got you. Just chill a bit.
They shot me down.
That moment cost the Creed Brothers the Tag Team titles.
This is my time and I'm coming for Broke.
[indistinct]
The sound of that steel chair meeting Julius' back
signaled the end of Diamond Mine.
That's all you get today, but I'll leave you with this,
it's not Diamond Mine forever, it's Damon Kemp forever.
[Wade] Quick update on Roderick Strong, he is stable in the hospital,
but he's not talking to anybody right now. Get well soon, Roderick.
[Ricochet's music playing]
[crowd cheering]
[explosion]
[bell ringing]
[female announcer] The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
Introducing first, Ricochet.
[Vic] Well, we know the story from Worlds Collide
and it is Ricochet who is looking for some redemption here tonight
as he'll go one-on-one with Trick Williams.
That match coming your way next on NXT.
The schism can help you achieve greatness.
To join the schism is to allow your soul to reach a harmonious place
to sit under the schism's tree is to truly--
Excuse me, miss. You seem lost.
You seem like you need guidance.
-Jean, can you grab one of those for us? -Yes.
Thank you, guys. Thank you. This is great.
Can't wait for this. Love everything that you're doing.
Keep it up. Love it.
I don't do free sponsorship, so trash that.
Yes.
Now, where's the annual report?
I wish that I only had one job to do.
Yes, and you surprisingly enough always screw it up.
Duncan? When will Duncan get a call from me?
When his phone rings.
I would love to be everywhere at once, unfortunately, I must politely decline.
I have a luncheon, then a meet and greet, and then I'm judging a beauty pageant.
-Arriana. -Kiana.
You are exactly who I've been looking for.
-I have a problem with Zoey and-- -Nikita. I know.
I can't stand either of them.
I think I just found the solution to my problem.
Jean, book Arriana down for training at 6:00 pm.
-Yes. -I think I have an opening for 6:00.
Perfect.
[Trick Williams' music playing]
[female announcer] Introducing Trick Williams.
[Vic] Trick Williams set for one-on-one action,
but this time we have to welcome in our guest joining us,
the North America Champion,
the one of one, Carmelo Hayes.
-What's going on, champ? -Oh, yes. What's up, bro?
-Wade with the fade. -[Wade] How great is this again?
We've got the A-champ, friend of the desk back out here.
You know you've always got the open invite anytime you want, boss.
-[Carmelo] It's been a minute. -[Wade] Whoa.
[bell ringing]
[Vic] Well, this has been what Ricochet has been waiting
48 hours to do and that is to get his hands
on Trick Williams or I should say his knee [laughs].
[Carmelo] Whoa, whoa.
You got to lock it in, bro. Hey, don't let that happen twice.
-Go back in there. -[Wade] Sometimes it happens-- oh!
[Carmelo] Actually, you know what? Stay out here.
[man] Go back inside.
[Carmelo] Hey, give him a chance.
Oh!
[Wade] Wow, not the star Trick Williams with--
You just got lucky you had that little friend that's why you got that.
[Carmelo] What?
-You got lucky [indistinc]. -I'm lucky?
All right. Bet. Hey, some people just can't let things go, man.
[Wade] Unbelievable.
[Vic] Ricochet staying one step ahead of Williams for the moment.
Take a look at how quick Ricochet is.
I do though, champ, want to give you your flowers
for your victory this past at World's Collide.
What a way to kick off such a huge event.
[Carmelo] You damn right.
Everybody knows at this point, when I step up to the plate,
it's home runs every time.
The second I walk up with my bat, outfield starts moving back.
[Wade] No denying that whatsoever.
I've got to tell you though, Melo, you really need to slow down
on all of these victories because we're going to run out of space
in this arena to handle the jerseys of your victims.
[Carmelo] Jerseys will have to get a little smaller.
Let's talk about it.
[Wade] Maybe we can expand the arena, call it the "Melo Arena".
How about that? That's a great idea.
[Carmelo laughing] It is.
[Vic] Well, we talk about that match on Sunday.
Some on social media believe that you're still champion
because of Trick Williams.
[Carmelo] Some on social media? You read social media
and believe what they say, man? They won't @ me. Who said that?
[Wade] How dare you insult our esteemed guest?
-How dare you? -[Vic] Boom.
[Wade] Especially while Trick William is pulling out shots
like that to the jaw of Ricochet.
[Vic] I'm not stating what others on social media are saying.
[Carmelo] They wish they had a friend like Trick Williams,
-that's the problem. -[Wade] You know what?
The gutter slime reside on social media.
The champion resides right here on NXT and his name is Melo.
[Carmelo] Smack him. That's it, man.
[Vic] Trick Williams is bringing his a-game here tonight.
Ricochet one step ahead again.
Oh, nice right hand.
Every now and again Ricochet is looking right over at you, Carmelo.
[Carmelo] He's obsessed with me.
[Vic] He said he has unfinished business here tonight.
[Carmelo] No, no, no, no.
Yes, yes, yes.
-[Wade] Oh! That's it. -[Carmelo] Guess where Trick learned that?
-[Vic] That could be a knockout blow. -[Carmelo] One, two.
[Vic] And a kick out from Ricochet.
[Wade] You want to know who taught Trick Williams that?
It was this man right here on cam, Carmelo Hayes.
[Vic] Another cover, another kick out from Ricochet.
[Wade] How much has Trick Williams improved
over the past few months training with Melo?
-[Vic] Miles. Miles. -[Wade] Incredible.
[Carmelo] At one point I'd be worried for Trick,
but now I'm more worried for Ricochet.
[Wade] I say you should be.
You gave him whooping on Sunday by the way.
[Vic] Ricochet trying to bounce back into this match up.
[Carmelo laughing] You look dumb as hell.
Get him, man. Come on here. Get out here, Trick.
Smack his bald head off of here.
Bam! Another one.
That's it. That's all of those tweets you missed on.
Another one.
Bam! Let's talk about it.
You're ain't coming back here no more.
[Wade] This is one of the most dominant performances I've seen in a long time.
Hats off to Trick Williams.
[Vic] Trick Williams got right back in. Oh, wait. He got caught.
Shoulders down and a near fall.
Ricochet almost able to pull a rabbit out of the hat here on NXT.
[Wade] You never celebrate too early with someone like Ricochet in the ring,
but Trick Williams getting everything right so far.
What the hell was that?
[Vic] It's another cover, and will it be? It is.
Another kick out.
But, Wade, you are certainly impressed with Trick Williams.
-Stay on him, Trick. -[Vic] Again, it comes down to,
-as you mentioned, the tutelage. -[Carmelo] Don't turn your back on him.
[Vic] The coaching from the North American champion.
[Carmelo laughing] Look at that pose right there.
[Wade] He's getting better and better every single week.
He's going to be golden in the future, Trick Williams.
[Carmelo] Hey.
[Vic] Williams was swinging, but didn't connect,
but now it's Ricochet starting to come up in this match up.
It's the former intercontinental champion flying through the air.
[crowd cheering]
[Carmelo] No, no, no. Come on, Trick.
[Wade] No doubt in the caliber of this man.
Dominant on Raw, dominant on Smack Down, been to WrestleMania.
Trick Williams, suddenly things are starting to look a little more bleak.
[Carmelo] Here's a trick. Damn.
[Vic] Ricochet said Williams was going to answer for his actions
this past Sunday.
[crowd cheering]
[Carmelo] You're a little bit beside yourself right now.
Showboating, man.
That guy needs to humble himself. He's full of himself.
[crowd chanting] Ricochet!
[Vic] Recoil.
[Wade] Trick Williams went about 10 feet up in the air on that one.
[Vic] Say that again.
[Carmelo] No, no, don't do it.
[Wade] Came down with a thump.
[Carmelo] Hey, how about you worry about your opponent in the ring?
Stop worrying about me. Go ahead, Trick.
We've been practicing this all week. Watch, he's going to move.
[Vic] Now all the way to the top.
[Carmelo] Oh, yes. Okay. Go ahead.
[Vic] Staring a hole right into you, Carmelo.
[Carmelo] Watch, watch watch. He's going to move.
-[Wade] Get ready for it. -[Vic] Shooting. Oh!
[crowd] One, two, three!
-[bell ringing] -[Vic] Standing ovation for Ricochet.
[Ricochet's music playing]
[female announcer] Here is your winner, Ricochet.
[Vic] The highlight of the night,
providing a massive highlight tonight here on NXT.
[crowd chanting] Ricochet!
-It's pretty good. -Made it a little stronger, way better.
There you go. Hey, can you believe Pretty Deadly?
Trying to pull a fast one on us. Like we didn't know.
Oh, there he is. My man CJ. Look, he's back, huh?
-I'm back. -Come here.
Look, I gave you some time to think it over,
you've reconsidered and you know what? You don't get to tell me I was right.
Me and you both know I was right.
Stacks, go get him a fresh espresso on the house.
You guys just don't stop, do you? You're just like Gacy.
Hey, I appreciate that.
I don't really know Italian so
I'm going to try to say this in English very slow for you guys.
The answer is no.
Not today, not tomorrow, not any day because Cameron Grimes don't need nobody
and definitely don't need you two.
I gave you the benefit of the doubt the first time,
I'm not going to do it again.
See, that last two guys that said no, they're not here anymore.
I ran them out.
Yes, but I'm not like those other two guys.
Yes, because people actually respect them.
[Cameron] Get off. Get off me.
[grunting]
Let's go.
[moaning]
[Wade] Listen, when you say no to Tony D, you're one of two things,
you're either very brave or incredibly foolish.
[Nathan Frazer's music playing]
[crowd cheering]
[bell ringing]
[female announcer] The following is the first match
in the best of three series.
Introducing first, Nathan Frazer.
[Vic] Well, as you heard, first match in the best of three series
featuring two of the most exciting superstars in NXT next.
[music]
Diamond Mine, earlier tonight, we heard from Damon Kemp
and he had a lot to say--
I want to break Damon Kemp's face!
For what he did Roddy, for what he did to us.
What he said about Ivy.
He talks real tough when he's in an empty studio.
Talks about a match that happened five to six years ago.
Next time I see him, it's on sight.
We don't know when that will be, but next week
you get your championship rematch against Pretty Deadly.
How do you plan to clear your minds?
We don't.
It's fuel on the fire. One thing at a time.
We correct what happened Sunday and then David Kemp's a dead man.
[Indistinct]
We were looking for you two dibs. You two.
We beat you on Sunday.
Damon or no Damon, these are ours.
The people they don't believe it but we're going to change that.
We ain't going let the people or the naysayers at home
think that we don't deserve these.
We're going to let them pick in stipulation for our title match.
That's right. The WWE Universe, they pick the stipulation
and then what's the excuse going to be when you lose again?
Again.
Everything that's happened, all this rage I have inside,
next week I take it out on your bitch asses.
[crowd] Oh!
[Axiom's music playing]
[Wade] Pretty Deadly just made the biggest mistake
of their entire careers.
[Vic] For once, I agree with you.
[female announcer] Making his way to the ring, Axiom.
[Vic] Only that one year anniversary show celebrating NXT 2.0 next Tuesday.
Is that right?
WWE universe will put the stipulation for the NXT Tag Team title match?
[Wade] What on Earth were Pretty Deadly thinking there?
Absolute insanity against a, let's say, fired up [indistinct].
[Vic] We are set
for the first match in the best of three series
between these two superstars.
[Wade] Yes, indeed. I love it.
I'm excited for this match, excited for the whole series.
A lot of similarities between these two competitors.
Fast-moving, fast-rising,
but the greatest thing to me about a match series like this
is that it just eliminates all of the excuses.
Anyone can get lucky in one match so what could have or should have,
in the end the best man always wins when it comes to a series like this.
[Vic] We know a lot about Axiom, a superstar with a powerful mind
and an unlimited amount of courage.
[Wade] Yes, and he's grown to be an inspiration
around the world, yatta yatta yatta.
Here's what I care about.
[Vic] That was nice.
[Wade] Can you convert the courage and this mental dexterity you have
and do a huge stack of wins here in NXT?
Because if you can't, it ain't worth it a damn to me.
[Vic] After the historic weekend for the WWE
we know both these superstars are keeping a very close eye on the action.
[Wade] Yes, of course. Raw and Smack Down rosters this past weekend,
packing out stadiums around the world like only they can.
Truly unmatched in this industry.
NXT of course proving once again why the very best young talent on the planet
is all under one roof here.
The future of this industry is in the greatest of hands.
[Vic] This show of sportsmanship.
Look, I do want to bring this up about this contest,
this best of three series. It's all really based on one thing.
The foundation is the friendly spirit of competition.
[Wade] You actually believe that nonsense?
[Vic] Yes, I do.
[Wade] Absolute BS.
But fine, I get it. Be a gentleman in the locker room.
I kind of like that myself.
[Vic] Oh, backslide. Axiom shoulders out, nice counter.
[Wade] When that bell rings, forget about being a gentleman.
You better be ready to turn into a savage in a heartbeat
or else you ain't going to get very far around here.
[Vic] We're seeing the pace certainly quicken between these two superstars.
[indistinct]
-[Vic] They said this. -[Wade] It was lies.
[Vic] Not lies.
[Indistinct]
[Wade] All right, you carry on.
[cheers and applause]
[Vic] The admiration from the NXT Universe.
I don't know why you're so befuddled by that.
[Wade] I've been in the ring, that's why! Have you?
[Vic] No, but you haven't had any friends when you stepped in the ring either.
You take a look at both of these superstars,
they both share comic books.
They share the thrill of adventure with one another.
There's a lot of similarities.
[Wade] They can't share wins though, that's the key part.
Send him your comic books.
Your Batmans, your Bananamans, whatever else you've got.
Get in there and win the damn match.
[Vic] What are you talking? Bananaman? What are you talking about?
[Wade] Favorite super hero, he's English. You wouldn't know Bananaman, the best.
[crowd chanting] Let's go Frazer!
[Vic] Where the NXT universal split between these two superstars
and landing on his feet.
Look at Axiom coming right back in as is Frazer.
One of these two is going to meet.
It is Frazer knocking Axiom out of his mask.
Again, Frazer doesn't think Axiom could hang in a rounds match.
-Oh! -[Wade] Whoa.
[Vic] It's Axiom just picking up.
[indistinct]
[crowd cheering]
[Vic] Back live on NXT.
This match won in the best of three series
between two of the highest flying jaw-dropping superstars here in NXT
and what a match up this really has been.
Let's go back to some of the action during the commercial break
because this has been a high-flying contest
and it has now turned into a technical contest
and that's based off the back of Axiom.
[Wade] Yes, I gotta tell you I'm happy Axiom is back in control.
Listen, you mentioned before the break,
Frazer said Axiom couldn't hang in a rounds match up.
I personally found that incredibly dismissive.
Frazer was talking to Axiom like he was a kid, I suppose.
Axiom could fight in any kind of match he wants.
He's got talent and right now Frazer is learning that the hard way.
This one's starting to break down.
[Vic] Certainly is. Right back out here.
Axiom flying through the air, wanting to prove his point here tonight.
How important is a victory in match one?
[Wade] It's vital. Let me tell you that.
If you lose tonight, you have an absolute mountain to climb.
[Vic] Crossbody, not enough.
[Wade] Lose tonight and every single error that you make in the matches after this
could be your last walk.
[Vic] Another submission is Axiom,
we know just how smart he is inside the ring,
how he can play the angle.
Certainly played one right here, wiping out Frazer on the outside.
Back in the ring, he took a high angle and that found Frazer.
Got a near fall but right now he is bending the left arm of Frazer
-the way it should be bent. -[Wade] It's getting to be nasty.
You still want to call this a friendly competition?
[Vic] Well, it is a friendly competition.
[Wade] Absolute gibberish.
[Vic] Right now, again this submission locked in.
Nowhere for Frazer to go.
Axiom is really right now pushing Frazer to his limit.
[crowd cheering]
Trying to get a little extra as you hear the NXT Universe start to rise
for these two superstars.
This is the first time they have ever met one on one.
[Wade] Frazer is in absolute agony in there right now.
Axiom doing a complete [indistinct]. But hats off to Frazer.
Oh, jeez!
[Vic] How quick, how devastating was that?
[Wade] Blink of an eye. Wow, Mr. Frazer.
[crowd chanting] NXT!
[Vic] Take another look.
First, it was the strength and the speed just to snap Axiom around.
Look, we know about Axiom. He's not afraid to get knocked down.
He's not afraid to face adversity.
It's what makes him a symbol, what makes him a superhero.
[Wade] I'm not ready to crown him the next Avenger quite yet though.
Everyone call it "The clash of the castle" in Saturday.
You've got Drew McIntyre was the greatest,
didn't win him the Universal Championship, did it?
[Vic] It certainly did not.
I can only imagine the artillery these two are going to throw at each other.
This, just a first match in this best-of-three series.
Can Frazier pick up the win? Can he pick up the first victory?
[laughing] Wow, close.
[Wade] We're starting to see the absolute best of Nathan Frazer here.
Such snap in his body, such torque in the midsection
and such pain getting delivered to the spine of Axiom.
[Vic] How close was Frazer to picking up the first victory in this series?
It's that cradle, small package. Oh!
It was a near fall once again.
[Wade] Really as fast as they make him.
Nice block there from Frazer from that running knee.
[Vic] Oh, there's a swing blade.
[Wade] Didn't quite get all of that, though, Frazer.
[Vic] Certainly got enough of it to knock Axiom down
but now what's he thinking?
Standing shooting star.
Axiom had it scouted, got his knee up, and out quickly
going for the counter, going for the submission.
[Wade] So well rounded at least. Technical to high flying to brawl,
they can do it all in the blink of an eye.
[Vic] Look at it again.
[Wade] Frazer looking in big trouble.
[Vic] Trying to get out, got a foot at the bottom.
[Wade] Making it to the point. Is the damage done, however?
[Vic] Oh, right to the back.
What a match up this has become.
Certainly, we're sitting here right now on the edge of our seats.
[Wade] Absolutely picked the pace up as this one got going.
Everyone engrossed now.
[crowd chanting] This is awesome!
[Vic] You could hear Axiom after that last kick.
Did you hear him almost scream in pain? Now Frazer rolling through.
Could be looking for a Boston crab and he's got the crab cinched in deep.
[Wade] DB sitting on that lower back.
[crowd cheering]
[Vic] Axiom tapped. He's now crawling.
He's trying to get to that bottom rope but Frazer is sitting in.
Now, transitioning to a single-leg crab.
Axiom, I can only imagine the pain in his body, in his knee,
and now he's looking for the torque. Look at the torque.
Look at the bend and somehow-- wow.
[Wade] Trading rope break for rope break here.
Both men giving it everything they've got.
This audience split 50-50.
[crowd chanting] Let's go, Frazer! Axiom!
[Vic] Axiom pounding the mat in frustration.
Again, he has been favoring his knee for quite some time
and somehow able to pounce quickly into the cover.
All the body weight on top of Frazer and not enough,
but did you notice Axiom put all of his weight on the shoulders?
[Wade] Yes, superb pinning technique from Axiom.
[Vic] Oh!
[Wade] Is this the final blow though?
[Vic] Is that the knockout blow?
And Axiom picks up the first victory in this series.
[female announcer] Here is your winner, Axiom.
[Wade] I've got to tell you, I am out of breath just watching that.
That was superb from both men stepping it up here
and the best part is we get at least one,
maybe two more of these still to come.
[Vic] I mean, just boom.
Shout out Axiom from that corner and pinpoint accuracy he's mentioning.
Look, I'm taking a look up from my monitors.
Great shot right now. Axiom still favoring the knee,
was able to block out the pain in this first match.
Like you said, we still got one,
maybe even two in this best-of-two series.
All right, fellas.
Gallus has been wreaking havoc for the past few weeks.
We need to lock in, keep an eye on them, make sure nothing gets past us this time--
Oh, look at what we've got here.
A bunch of Paul Blart rent-a-cops.
Are you guys waiting for a fight to be over before you guys--
You know what, Javi? Just keep it moving, man, all right?
Whoa, easy there, tiger. Who do you think you are talking to?
I'm Big Body Javi. When I made my name on Level Up,
I was blowing mines and I was kissing dimes.
Wait a minute. How do y'all still have jobs?
You guys are security, aren't you?
Hey, you know what? That's enough out of you, man.
Whoa, whoa. No, no, no, it's not.
See, I'm a big-time superstar.
And you're just a security guard.
You know what, man? I might not be a superstar,
but I'll whoop your ass any day of the week, you prick!
All right, guys, we got to go.
[Gallus' music playing]
[Wade] Hank from security has a real potty mouth
and Big Body Javi should smack him in it.
[crowd booing]
[bell ringing]
[female announcer] The following contest is a Tag Team
match scheduled for one fall.
Accompanied by Wolfgang, Mark Coffey, Joe Coffey, Gallus.
[Vic] This all began with a war of words to kick us off tonight.
You talked about Worlds Colliding on Sunday,
worlds uniting here tonight.
Blockbuster main event, Tag Team action next live on NXT.
[music]
[Quincy] The time has come.
The biggest package is about to be delivered to NXT.
I am Quincy Elliot, the super diva,
and I'm about to set fire to Tuesday nights.
[Woman] Oh, my gosh is that Quincy Elliot?
[crosstalk]
[Quincy] It's hard for people to keep my name out of their mouths.
The struggle is real because I'm more than a mouthful.
Nothing's cuter than a boy and his scooter
and I'm bringing all of this to NXT.
Don't worry, baby. Next week I'm coming.
Trick Williams, Carmelo Hayes,
not exactly how you wanted things to go tonight with Ricochet.
Yes, Ricochet beat me tonight, but, hey, even a broken clock
is right twice a day.
Besides, I'm still taller, I'm still stronger.
Even after a loss, I still better.
Hey, listen. McKenzie, we done talking about Ricochet, okay?
He tried to accomplish something and he couldn't get it done.
He don't got what I got and that's the a championship.
Next question.
Next week is the one-year anniversary of NXT 2.0.
Oh, yes. You talking about the year of Melo, right?
I done beat everybody there is to beat. I done done everything there is to do.
I am the A-champion and I am the face of NXT.
-I got that vote in the bag. -Let's talk about it.
You don't even know who your opponent is next week.
-What? Hold up. -My opponent?
Who's left for me to beat?
That's up to the WWE Universe to decide who you'll be defending
the NXT North American Championship next week.
Listen, hey, no. Wait. How do you know that?
Listen, the WWE Universe doesn't decide who I defend my championship against.
I decide who I defend my championship against.
-Talk your talk. -You can vote.
Oh, I can vote? You hear her? I can vote?
Man. Let's get out of here, man. I can vote?
Vic and Wade, back to you.
[music]
Doesn't matter who you all vote for, there's two guarantees.
Number one, it will be a banger, number two, the A-champ will retain.
Well, it's all going down next week.
It's the one-year anniversary show and you're going to be able to choose
who's the biggest superstar of the last 12 months here at NXT 2.0,
but that's not all,
because you're also going to have the power at your fingertips.
You're going to be able to choose the stipulation next week
for the NXT Tag Team championships. Wade, you said it,
this is the biggest mistake by Pretty Deadly.
Will the Creed brothers reclaim the gold? Next Tuesday live on NXT.
[Wade] Massive risk, but not only that.
Cameron Grimes and a partner, still to be decided,
square off against Tony D and Stacks right here next week live
on the NXT 2.0 one-year anniversary show.
[Tyler Bate's music playing]
[crowd cheering]
[Vic] What a week it will be.
Next year we celebrate our one-year anniversary of NXT 2.0,
but what a main event we're set for tonight?
What really stood out was what happened after the main event
between these two superstars this past Sunday at Worlds Collide.
[Bron Breakker's music playing]
[crowd cheering]
[female announcer] Introducing the team of Tyler Bate
and the NXT champion, Bron Breakker.
[Vic] NXT Universe has been on their feet all night long
and you can be part of our live audience in Orlando, Florida.
Follow NXT live's official Facebook page for more information
Or you can visit WWE.com/NXTlive.
[Wade] You mentioned what happened after the main event at Worlds Collide.
Tyler Bate was all class in defeat on Sunday.
How many times have we seen cheap shots after a bitter defeat
like the one Bate's suffered in the main event of Worlds Collide?
Bate though looked Bron in the eye, man to man and accepted that, on that day,
he was just beaten by someone who was slightly better.
Next time it might not be the case, but Bate, hats off to him,
was man enough to accept that.
[Vic] For Breakker, overcoming another obstacle
this past Sunday.
A lot of respect though has been shown between these two superstars,
even more so from earlier tonight
with how the evening kicked off with Gallus talking so negatively
towards Tyler Bate and that wasn't until Bate called them out.
Joe Coffey doesn't have the best win-loss record so to speak.
[Wade] Bron did not have to risk his neck to save Bate,
he did it because of the respect during Worlds Collide.
Bron says he sees Bate as a European version of himself.
That's an absolutely massive compliment,
although you mentioned Joe Coffey, steady on there.
Joe Coffey will snap you like a twig
if you continued speaking like that about us.
[Vic] He was just as rude as Harry Styles.
You take a look around and you see the security beefed up
whenever we have Gallus out and around the ring.
Chaos typically does follow.
[Wade] Did you just do a Harry Styles reference on NXT?
Tip the cap.
[Wade] Is he your favorite pop star?
No, it's Justin Bieber.
[Vic] Right now we get Bron Breakker picking up the steam
and then mowing down Joe Coffey.
[crowd cheering]
[Vic] The one thing we've talked about a lot
over the last 48 hours, 72 hours, is the future of the WWE.
You take a look around and even look at the Gallus boys,
the future certainly is bright as Coffey kicks out again.
[Wade] I'll tell you this, the average age of superstars under this roof of NXT
is insanely low right now.
The industry has never seen anything like NXT's crop of young talent coming through.
We'll be watching many of these men and women for the next 20 years.
We're getting a window into the future.
[Vic] Tag.
Mark continuing with Joe Coffey.
Typically, we see Wolfgang in the match up with Mark.
Wolfgang on the outside and certainly can be the X-factor
whenever Gallus is around.
[Wade] Yeah, rare to see Joe Coffey, usually the singles guy of the trio,
but you have to say, Wolfgang prowling around on the outside,
I'm going to bet at some point he's going to at least try
and get himself involved in this match up.
And that is a big threat to Tyler Bate and Bron Breakker.
[Vic] This is a unique offense from Tyler Bate.
I had a chance to talk to Bate earlier today,
he told me on the heels on what happened on Sunday.
His positive attitude is about motivation, innovation, and evolution.
That's what's helping him propel himself forward here at NXT.
[Wade] Well, whatever it is, it's certainly working.
This guy is climbing and climbing as he has done for the last six years.
Just getting better and better as he grows and develops.
[Vic] Take a look at this teamwork.
Unbelievable.
Breakker and Bate on the same page.
[crowd cheering]
[Vic] This place is rocking, Gallus is backpedaling.
[crowd chanting] NXT! NXT!
[Vic laughing] You talk about a tip of the cap.
Don't miss a second of the action in our picture break.
Bate, Breakker, rolling.
[Vic] Main event continuing to roll on here in NXT.
Bate, Breakker have been in control.
Look, you take a look at Bate, you take a look at Breakker,
the NXT champion,
both are in this industry for more than just fame and money.
[Wade] More of that?
Is it the old spirit of competition thing and all that nonsense you said earlier?
-[Vic] It's true. -[Wade] Look, I get it.
"Fighting spirit, be a role model". To me, that's just youthful naivete.
Let's be clear, fame and money are the most important things
in this industry and so is trying to keep your health intact
if you're Mark Coffey.
He's not doing a great job of it right now.
[crowd chanting] NXT! NXT!
[Vic] There's [indistinct].
[indistinct]
[Wade] Joe Coffey's just trying to come over--
[Vic] There's Wolfgang.
Come on, the official didn't see Wolfgang.
[Wade] Great stuff.
Here's what Wolfgang's doing there, he's saying to his lads,
"Don't worry darlings, I've got you here. I'll get you back on track,"
and he did exactly that.
Now, the Coffeys are going to absolutely annihilate Tyler Bate.
[Vic] Almost on cue with that deep-cleaning uppercut.
The Coffeys certainly in control, all thanks to Wolfgang.
This is just how Gallus always seems to end up on top.
Cover by Coffey, and Bate digging deep.
Whenever you see-- another cover, another kick out.
Whenever you see Gallus, there's one goal in mind, to dominate.
By dominating, they can destroy.
[Wade] Since arriving here at NXT,
all they have done is destroy everything in sight,
and now that is going to start including the frame of Tyler Bate.
Putting his body on the line, leaping athletically,
but just when it looked like the team of Bate and Breaker
were cooking on four cylinders, along comes Wolfgang and spoils the party.
Three on two behind the referee's back, what on Earth can you do?
[Vic] Gallus earlier tonight told Bate he let all of Europe down,
as Coffey into a cover, and another near fall.
As this match continues, one of these two teams
is going to be riding a high
into next week's one-year anniversary celebration.
We just found this out,
Hank Walker taking on Javier Bernal one on one,
and also, who will answer the North American Champion Carmelo Hayes?
It's up to you in the WWE Universe to choose the challenger.
The power is in your hands, it is at your fingertips.
You can check WWE NXT social platform for opponents
and stipulations to pick --another cover, and another kick out--
for next week's anniversary show.
[Wade] The big question is, who's Jersey do you want elevated
into the rafters here in NXT as another victim of Carmelo Hayes?
[Vic] You counting chickens all of a sudden before they hatch?
[Wade] Come off it mate, you know the result as well as I do,
Melo wins.
[Vic] Be very interesting to see who the WWE Universe selects
for Carmelo Hayes next week in our one-year anniversary show.
Right now, the main event, Bate trying to break the hold,
create a little bit of separation but Joe Coffey's so strong.
[Wade] Just as old-school as you come,
not often you see a well-executed bear hug these days,
Tyler Bate wished we hadn't seen one tonight.
Here's the thing you mentioned,
the destruction at the hands of Gallus lately.
We've had to triple our security budget here in NXT.
We're practically going to go bankrupt at this rate,
but let's be honest, it hasn't helped. It hasn't stopped them at all.
[crowd cheering]
[Vic] Here Gallus very confident at this juncture in the match up.
Bron Breakker, the NXT champion, desperately wants back into this match up,
Bate doing his best.
Bate now, trying to get Coffey down, reaching out to his brother.
Bate's strong enough.
Coffey able to roll through.
Coffey now could be looking for that single-leg crab.
[Wade] Not just a brawler, a technician in his own right,
and he's smart enough to realize he has to do everything
in his power now to stop this tag. Keep Bron out of the ring.
[Vic] Whoa, so close. Not to be, but wait a minute.
[Wade] There it is!
[Vic] Breakker's in,
and now Breakker running through Joe Coffey.
[Wade] This is the Gallus's worst nightmare come true.
[crowd cheering]
[Vic] Bron Breakker, when he enters the match,
he just enters into a different zone, and now showcasing that strength.
Tag was made.
I think Breakker realizes it, and I don't think he cares.
I might have spoke too soon.
Coffey trying to take him up, nice counter by Breakker.
Whoa, spine buster.
[Wade] Explosive destruction from Breakker himself,
straps are down and things are starting to look bad for the Gallus lads.
[Vic] Bron Breakker just calling out to Bate.
Well, we saw the tip of the cap earlier.
Oh, what a throwback.
[indistinct]
Joe Coffey able to break things up one more time.
What's Wolfgang doing?
Oh, what a bopping bang.
[Wade] He was trying to do exactly what he's supposed to do,
as the corner man of Gallus, completely ineffective.
There it is.
[Vic] Breakker just about broke Coffey in half and a boing from Bate.
Now Tyler Bate, Big Strong Boy,
Tyler driver '97.
[crowd] One, two, three.
[Vic] That's one way to become a unified duo.
[Tyler Bate's music playing]
[female annoucer] Here are your winners, the NXT champion
Bron Breakker, and Tyler Bate.
[Vic] Respect at an all-new level for these two superstars.
[Wade] Rare do you see two men able to click that quickly as a team.
Tells you the individual caliber of these two men.
[Vic] Unreal. Look, Bate shaking it off.
Bam, Breakker saw it coming, took out Joe Coffey.
That would lead to Tyler Bate, a thing of beauty.
[Wade] Absolutely stunning stuff from Tyler Bate,
just when he looked down and out,
brings it out of the bag with the Tyler driver '97.
Goodnight Gallus, we got our Victors at Worlds Collide
this past Sunday for the world--
[Vic] Whoa, that's JD McDonagh.
McDonagh just dropped Bate.
[crowd booing]
No doubt, malicious intent on the mind of McDonagh,
but what does the Irish Ace have up his sleeve?
Subtitles: Joice Buttenbender ve up his sleeve?
