[narrator] Then.

00:00:10,910 --> 00:00:12,078
Now.

4
00:00:17,250 --> 00:00:18,251
Forever.

5
00:00:22,722 --> 00:00:24,357
Together.

6
00:00:36,836 --> 00:00:40,373
Halloween, my favorite time of the year.

7
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:45,044
Last year, your old pal Chucky made sure
violence was taken in abundance,

8
00:00:45,111 --> 00:00:48,915
but this year there'll be a lot more.

9
00:00:49,716 --> 00:00:53,887
The title hangs in the heavens,
but you'll have to go through

10
00:00:53,953 --> 00:00:57,257
hell to be crowned the new
North American champion.

11
00:00:58,191 --> 00:00:59,826
I can't wait.

12
00:00:59,893 --> 00:01:02,262
[man] At Halloween havoc
it's every man for themselves.

13
00:01:02,328 --> 00:01:05,432
Frazer, Wagner, Lee, Mensah, Hayes.

14
00:01:05,498 --> 00:01:07,067
Who will climb the ladder?

15
00:01:07,133 --> 00:01:08,668
Who will retrieve the gold?

16
00:01:08,735 --> 00:01:12,405
Who will become NXT
North American champion?

17
00:01:12,939 --> 00:01:14,774
You're looking at scary.

18
00:01:15,408 --> 00:01:19,846
Playing with fire is good, clean,
fun for the whole family.

19
00:01:19,913 --> 00:01:24,918
Last year, Mandy won the title,
but this year she may get burned.

20
00:01:24,984 --> 00:01:28,988
Mandy Rose, I've seen the fear inside you.

21
00:01:29,055 --> 00:01:33,560
I'm going to be the one to burn
your empire to the ground.

22
00:01:34,594 --> 00:01:39,599
At Halloween havoc,
I'm gonna be more callous, more vicious,

23
00:01:39,833 --> 00:01:41,434
and more ruthless.

24
00:01:42,602 --> 00:01:46,005
Some people deserve to feel pain,
but all three of these

25
00:01:46,072 --> 00:01:47,540
guys welcome it.

26
00:01:47,607 --> 00:01:52,178
A young dog-faced gremlin defends
his title against a relentless machine

27
00:01:52,245 --> 00:01:55,648
and a man who likes dissecting
his victims as much as I do.

28
00:01:59,652 --> 00:02:03,790
As long as I'm breathing,
this championship will be mine.

29
00:02:04,491 --> 00:02:09,329
I will endure a great deal of pain.

30
00:02:09,395 --> 00:02:12,765
At Halloween havoc, it will be worth it.

31
00:02:13,633 --> 00:02:15,335
At the end of the night
at Halloween havoc,

32
00:02:15,401 --> 00:02:20,006
you will call me NXT champion.

33
00:02:21,307 --> 00:02:23,209
This is going to be a war.

34
00:02:23,276 --> 00:02:30,016
Not to mention caskets, ambulances,
and more mayhem than this guy can ask for.

35
00:02:30,083 --> 00:02:31,684
Playtime is over.

36
00:02:31,751 --> 00:02:34,354
Let the night of violence begin.

37
00:02:34,420 --> 00:02:36,122
Enjoy the horror.

38
00:02:36,189 --> 00:02:37,690
Enjoy the carnage.

The ghosts, ghouls
and goblins have arrived.

48

We're not only ready for
the scariest night of the year,

49
00:03:35,949 --> 00:03:38,751
it's the scariest event of the year.

50

Welcome to NXT's Halloween havoc,

51
00:03:42,622 --> 00:03:46,259
and it's a night we have been waiting
for for weeks.

52
00:03:46,326 --> 00:03:50,029
Ambulance matches, careers
on the line, championships, and

53
00:03:50,096 --> 00:03:54,033
speaking of which, the wheel
has determined some matches tonight.

54
00:03:54,100 --> 00:03:56,636
Our opening match is the
first of three title matches.

00:03:57,804 --> 00:04:04,777

58
00:04:26,966 --> 00:04:29,836
Introducing first, Nathan Frazer.

59
00:04:30,103 --> 00:04:33,339
Hey, Book. You can see
the eyes on Nathan Frazer.

60
00:04:33,573 --> 00:04:36,876
This is the biggest moment
in his career here in NXT.

61
00:04:36,943 --> 00:04:39,445
Could tonight be an eye-opening night?

62
00:04:39,512 --> 00:04:44,517
This is the one guy that has showed me
everything I need to

63
00:04:44,584 --> 00:04:47,353
know about Nathan Frazer.

64
00:04:47,420 --> 00:04:49,322
This guy is good.

66
00:05:00,233 --> 00:05:02,001
You can see Frazer amped up.

67
00:05:02,068 --> 00:05:04,871
He said the hardest part tonight
to contain his emotions on such

68
00:05:04,937 --> 00:05:07,073
a big stage.

[Oro Mensah's music plays]

70
00:05:14,881 --> 00:05:17,183
Next, Oro Mensah.

71
00:05:18,217 --> 00:05:20,553
Oh, Mensah not really caring
about good luck or bad luck

72
00:05:20,620 --> 00:05:22,088
walking underneath the ladder.

73
00:05:22,155 --> 00:05:25,325
There's still, book,
a lot to be discovered about Mensah.

74
00:05:25,391 --> 00:05:26,793
Yes.

75
00:05:26,859 --> 00:05:28,995
I've been doing a little
research on this guy.

76
00:05:29,062 --> 00:05:33,199
He's a high-flying technician,
a guy that want to throw caution

77
00:05:33,266 --> 00:05:37,403
to the wind, and in a match like this,
you're going to need all of that.

78
00:05:40,506 --> 00:05:44,577
Of course, Oro Mensah teaming
with this superstar this past

79
00:05:44,644 --> 00:05:46,579

Wes Lee.

82
00:05:54,620 --> 00:05:57,423
I bring that up because tonight, book,
you know better

83
00:05:57,490 --> 00:06:00,026
than anyone, every man for himself.

84
00:06:00,326 --> 00:06:06,399
Yes, this kid right here,
Wes Lee, speed, quickness.

85
00:06:06,466 --> 00:06:10,069
Everything under the sun,
this kid right here has it.

86
00:06:10,136 --> 00:06:14,574
I just wonder, is this night,
Halloween havoc 2022, will it be

87
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,577
Wes Lee's night?

88

You bring up speed.

89

Of course, the goal of this match
will be the first to climb

90
00:06:21,581 --> 00:06:25,518
the ladder and retrieve the North
American championship to

91
00:06:25,585 --> 00:06:29,322
walk out of Halloween havoc
with gold around your waist.

92

To book's point, is tonight the night
Wes Lee turns his 2022 around?

[announcer] Accompanied by
Mr. Stone, Von Wagner.

95
00:06:50,576 --> 00:06:52,145
Book, I'm going to be blunt.

96
00:06:52,211 --> 00:06:55,615
Is he the odds-on favorite to win
just out of his pure size?

97
00:06:55,681 --> 00:06:56,716
Hey, man.

98
00:06:56,783 --> 00:07:01,087
I like Von Wagner, no playing,
no jiving, just business.

Hey, man, but don't ready
into the sight's thing.

100
00:07:04,457 --> 00:07:05,658
This is a ladder match.

101
00:07:05,725 --> 00:07:11,297
It's very, very unpredictable and you know
what unpredictable means, right?

102
00:07:11,364 --> 00:07:14,100
Not able to be predicted.

103
00:07:14,167 --> 00:07:16,068
That is the ladder match.

104
00:07:16,803 --> 00:07:21,307
Von Wagner with Mr. Stone on
the outside could be the X factor.

105
00:07:21,374 --> 00:07:24,644
Just take a look at the
size of Von Wagner, book.

106
00:07:24,710 --> 00:07:27,947
-He's a big guy.
-No. He's a monster, baby.

107
00:07:31,651 --> 00:07:35,421
When you look into the eyes of Von Wagner,
he truly believes it is-- oh.

109
00:07:37,924 --> 00:07:40,126
Oh, yes.

110
00:07:41,460 --> 00:07:43,696
In the night you will feel the heat.

111
00:07:44,831 --> 00:07:48,367
Was two-time, tonight's the threepeat.

112
00:07:49,235 --> 00:07:53,406
The man don't miss, the bodies will drop.

113
00:07:53,973 --> 00:07:57,243
Rest in-- to all my opps.

[announcer] Making his way to
the ring, Carmelo Hayes.

117
00:08:15,161 --> 00:08:18,865
It is pretty easy to say, book,
he's looking to put all

118
00:08:18,931 --> 00:08:21,667
his haters to rest here tonight.

119
00:08:21,734 --> 00:08:24,437
Carmelo Hayes, man.

120
00:08:24,503 --> 00:08:28,407
This kid is at the top of my fav five

121
00:08:28,474 --> 00:08:32,144
and I'm wondering
who's going to be the other four?

122
00:08:32,211 --> 00:08:33,045
I'm wondering.

123
00:08:33,279 --> 00:08:36,883
Carmelo Hayes is in
a class of his own, man.

124
00:08:38,351 --> 00:08:41,287
Well, right now he is standing
center of attention.

125
00:08:41,354 --> 00:08:44,624
This the fourth time the North American
Championship has been

126
00:08:44,690 --> 00:08:46,692
defended in a ladder match.

127
00:08:47,026 --> 00:08:51,464
The last time it was defended Wrestle
Mania Saturday Stand & Deliver

128
00:08:51,531 --> 00:08:55,801
wasn't really the night Carmelo Hayes
thought he was going to have.

129

and Lee just dropped melo.

131
00:09:21,227 --> 00:09:22,762
Look, remember why we're here.

132
00:09:22,828 --> 00:09:27,767
Solo Sikoa took Wes Lee's spot
after he was voted in by the NXT universe.

133
00:09:27,833 --> 00:09:31,103
Lee was blindsided by Hayes and Williams.

134
00:09:31,170 --> 00:09:33,339
Sikoa beat Hayes,
had to relinquish the title.

135
00:09:33,406 --> 00:09:35,908
That's how we've gotten to
this five-man ladder match,

136
00:09:35,975 --> 00:09:39,245
and already, as you would say, book,
human demolition derby.

137
00:09:39,312 --> 00:09:40,146
Yes, indeed.

138
00:09:40,212 --> 00:09:44,016
Human demolition, but you talk
about Carmelo Hayes losing that title,

139
00:09:44,083 --> 00:09:47,353
but what a great showing from that kid.

140

Highlight reel after highlight reel.

141
00:09:49,689 --> 00:09:53,059
Tonight, he's just going to have
to step up and take it.

In the ring right now, Frazer, Mensah,
action all over this place.

Hard to keep an eye.
Take a look at the pace.

It is quickening here right now,
and Frazer just running right in,

145
00:10:05,037 --> 00:10:07,807
taking Mensah off his feet,
but again, book, got to remind everyone.

146
00:10:07,873 --> 00:10:09,508
Only way to win not on style points.

147
00:10:09,575 --> 00:10:10,876
Climb the ladder, retrieve the title.

148
00:10:10,943 --> 00:10:13,245
Yes, but you're talking
about this kid, Nathan Frazer.

Talking about his great qualifying match.

150
00:10:16,849 --> 00:10:19,151

Just take a look at Frazer.

155
00:10:30,129 --> 00:10:32,932
Take a look at the height,
and the fact that he's willing to

156
00:10:32,999 --> 00:10:35,935
sacrifice his body to
call himself a champion.

157
00:10:36,002 --> 00:10:37,470
Yes, that's what I'm talking about.

158
00:10:37,536 --> 00:10:41,007
In a match up like this,
you got to have no conscious.

159
00:10:41,073 --> 00:10:43,209
You just got to go out and
throw caution to the wind

160
00:10:43,275 --> 00:10:46,078
and see how this thing
play out in the end.

161
00:10:46,145 --> 00:10:48,014
Let the dice roll, man.

162
00:10:48,948 --> 00:10:50,016
Melo able to avoid.

163
00:10:50,750 --> 00:10:52,952
Got caught in the back end right there.

164
00:10:53,019 --> 00:10:55,955
Certainly couldn't do it again,
and now Lee taken out.

165
00:10:56,022 --> 00:11:00,693
Mensah and Frazer working together
as a team for the most part.

166
00:11:03,062 --> 00:11:06,399
All five of these superstars
know what is on the line.

167
00:11:06,465 --> 00:11:10,036
A chance to call themselves a champion,
and there is melo taking over.

168
00:11:10,102 --> 00:11:13,406
Of course, Melo did not have to qualify
to enter into this match up,

169
00:11:13,472 --> 00:11:16,108
but he's looking tonight, book,
for a threepeat.

170

This kid's looking real good,
and I always say, Carmelo Hayes,

171
00:11:19,545 --> 00:11:22,815
this kid has got everything
to make it to that next level.

172
00:11:22,882 --> 00:11:27,953
He checks off every box,
but the fans are fickle.

173
00:11:28,020 --> 00:11:31,057
It's all about what have you done for me
lately, man, and that's not it.

174
00:11:31,123 --> 00:11:32,525
That's not it, man.

[crowd chants "Frazer"]

176
00:11:37,897 --> 00:11:40,299
NXT universe already becoming unglued.

177
00:11:40,366 --> 00:11:42,201
They were on their feet.

178
00:11:42,268 --> 00:11:43,703
They were out of control.

179
00:11:43,769 --> 00:11:45,538
They were loud as ever this past Tuesday.

180
00:11:45,604 --> 00:11:48,340
It has carried in to tonight's
Halloween havoc.

181
00:11:48,407 --> 00:11:51,977
Now Frazer setting up the ladder,
and he's looking up.

182
00:11:52,611 --> 00:11:54,280
Starting to scale is Frazer.

183
00:11:54,346 --> 00:11:55,581
He's close, he's close.

184
00:11:55,648 --> 00:11:56,982
-A couple of rings away.
-So close.

Putting his hand up.

186
00:11:57,983 --> 00:12:01,520
Oh, Mensah running a little bit of
interference to continue this match up.

187
00:12:01,587 --> 00:12:04,824
Look, book, you've been part
of ladder matches in the past,

188
00:12:04,890 --> 00:12:07,393
how difficult are they
when you're a participant

189
00:12:07,460 --> 00:12:09,195
and you got other bodies flying around?

190
00:12:09,261 --> 00:12:13,365
Man, it's hard for me to talk
about that because that just

191
00:12:13,432 --> 00:12:15,634
didn't happen in the mindset
to throw caution to the wind.

192
00:12:15,701 --> 00:12:19,405
I wasn't one of those guys that wanted
to go through pain and trials

193
00:12:19,472 --> 00:12:20,306
and tribulation.

194
00:12:20,372 --> 00:12:22,174
You got to be a certain kind of guy.

195
00:12:22,241 --> 00:12:23,976
Every time I think
about a match like this,

196
00:12:24,043 --> 00:12:25,311
I think about Joey

197
00:12:25,377 --> 00:12:27,480
Mercury being all busted up.

198
00:12:27,546 --> 00:12:29,682
Not my cup of tea, man.

199
00:12:29,748 --> 00:12:32,251
Melo right now looking
around and realizing.

200
00:12:32,318 --> 00:12:34,320
Again, Hayes has been in a ladder match.

201
00:12:34,386 --> 00:12:37,289
This is how he lost the championship back
in Stand & Deliver.

202
00:12:37,356 --> 00:12:40,326
He knows what is needed to
be done here tonight,

203
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:44,096
and it's take it to everyone
and leave no man standing,

204
00:12:44,163 --> 00:12:46,799
so it's an easy path to the top.

205
00:12:49,335 --> 00:12:51,003
Might not be walking after that one.

206
00:12:52,938 --> 00:12:56,675
You talk about how Carmelo Hayes lost
his championship.

207
00:12:56,742 --> 00:13:01,413
In my opinion, Carmelo in that match
just tried to do a little too much,

208
00:13:01,480 --> 00:13:03,749
major players in that match up.

209
00:13:04,283 --> 00:13:08,988
Man, this thing's getting--
just turning to another dimension.

210
00:13:09,054 --> 00:13:11,757
Book, you've taken a look
at all these bodies flying around,

211
00:13:11,824 --> 00:13:13,526
ladders flying around, everything.

212
00:13:13,592 --> 00:13:15,694
You talk about a guy like Wes Lee.

213
00:13:15,761 --> 00:13:18,964
Wes Lee's been trying to harness
his emotions of everything that

214
00:13:19,031 --> 00:13:22,234
has gone wrong in his life
over the last 10 months.

215
00:13:22,968 --> 00:13:24,737
I'm watching Wes Lee right now.

216
00:13:24,804 --> 00:13:26,138
Beautiful right there.

217
00:13:26,205 --> 00:13:27,873
Timing, and balance, and everything.

218
00:13:27,940 --> 00:13:29,041
This kid has it all.

219
00:13:31,210 --> 00:13:32,511
Talk about Wes Lee.

220
00:13:33,846 --> 00:13:37,049
Let's talk about Von Wagner,
and we talked about his size,

221
00:13:37,116 --> 00:13:40,653
we talked about his strength,
and how much more dangerous is

222
00:13:40,719 --> 00:13:42,621
Wagner with a ladder in his hand?

223
00:13:42,688 --> 00:13:45,891
Von Wagner, you could just--
I always say, you can look in

224
00:13:45,958 --> 00:13:48,661
the man's eyes and it tells a story.

225
00:13:48,727 --> 00:13:53,265
Von Wagner is perhaps one of
the scariest eyes I have ever walked

226
00:13:53,332 --> 00:13:55,100
upon in this business.

227
00:13:56,402 --> 00:13:58,070
Wagner now.

228
00:13:58,137 --> 00:13:59,738
-Look at Frazer.
-Frazer's quick.

229
00:13:59,805 --> 00:14:02,908
Frazer just trying to do anything he can,
but one more time.

230
00:14:02,975 --> 00:14:04,143
Not going to work with the big man.

231
00:14:04,210 --> 00:14:08,247
This guy's over 300
pounds of solid muscle.

232
00:14:10,716 --> 00:14:15,387
Von Wagner with no remorse, to your point,
book, in his eyes.

233
00:14:15,454 --> 00:14:18,123
As he is laying waste to the field,
and one more time.

234
00:14:18,190 --> 00:14:20,025
Put him down.

00:14:22,428 --> 00:14:25,798
Wagner now, Mr. Stone shouting to Wagner.

236
00:14:25,865 --> 00:14:27,433
Wagner's the only one standing.

237
00:14:28,534 --> 00:14:29,835
It's all about timing.

238
00:14:29,902 --> 00:14:32,905
-It's all about being in the right place--
-Think about how tall Von Wagner is.

239
00:14:32,972 --> 00:14:35,140
He doesn't have to go up as many rungs
to get to the ladder,

240
00:14:35,207 --> 00:14:38,177
-or to get to the gold off the ladder.
-Carmelo's quick, though.

241
00:14:38,244 --> 00:14:43,215
Right now, Von Wagner's
a man on a mission.

242
00:14:43,282 --> 00:14:44,250
Here we go.

243
00:14:48,854 --> 00:14:50,256
Nice job by Hayes.

244
00:14:51,056 --> 00:14:52,658
That's what I'm talking about.

245
00:14:52,725 --> 00:14:54,126
Hayes is looking around now.

246
00:14:54,193 --> 00:14:57,830
Just like that, the complexion
of this match up changes to, book,

247
00:14:57,896 --> 00:14:59,598
where Hayes is the only one standing.

248
00:14:59,665 --> 00:15:02,167
Like I said, Carmelo Hayes just needs
to play this thing.

249
00:15:02,234 --> 00:15:03,502
He needs to be smart.

250
00:15:03,569 --> 00:15:05,537
He needs to make sure he's consistent.

251
00:15:05,604 --> 00:15:08,040
He needs to stay focused
in a match up like this.

252
00:15:08,107 --> 00:15:10,209
Exactly what I'm talking
about right there.

253
00:15:10,276 --> 00:15:13,579
You got to have your
head on a swivel, man.

to hear that a few times here

tonight at Halloween havoc.

Take another look.

and again it's very interesting.

all these superstars are willing to

destroy themselves to become champion.

That's Mensah right there
with that high-flying ability

right there with the quickness.

265

Mensah could be the X-factor in
this match up right here tonight.

266
00:15:53,919 --> 00:15:57,456
I want to ask you, he could be a diamond
in the rough, so to speak, in NXT.

267
00:15:57,523 --> 00:16:00,459
We talked about the future
being bright in the WWE.

268
00:16:00,526 --> 00:16:04,596
Mensah is a kid who is
a former NXT UK tag team champion,

269
00:16:04,663 --> 00:16:07,466
and tonight he's going to have
to take all of those high-flying skills

270
00:16:07,533 --> 00:16:10,636
to the next level to become…

-Champion.

Oh, my god.

I know you are a big fan of Hayes,
with Trick Williams on the outside.

275
00:16:22,314 --> 00:16:26,018
Will tonight be the night for Hayes
to silence his critics?

276
00:16:26,085 --> 00:16:28,320
To put to bed his haters.

277
00:16:28,387 --> 00:16:30,322
He says he is nothing but a vibe,

278
00:16:30,389 --> 00:16:33,359
and right now
he is chopping down the field.

279
00:16:33,425 --> 00:16:35,127
Carmelo Hayes is on a roll right now.

280
00:16:35,194 --> 00:16:38,397
I say this kid, like I said,
just stay focus, stay consistent

281
00:16:38,464 --> 00:16:39,832
and he'll be like Tony Montana.

282
00:16:39,898 --> 00:16:41,900
The world could be his.

Let's go back to some of the action.

First, of course, melo don't miss.

288
00:16:58,384 --> 00:17:01,353
Connected, but as it would
continue to roll on,

289
00:17:01,420 --> 00:17:04,723
he certainly would be outsmarted
for a moment, but back to live action.

290
00:17:04,890 --> 00:17:08,627
Von Wagner again unleashing
his wrath against these other four.

291

Did you see that choke slam?

00:17:10,462 --> 00:17:12,531
Did you see that choke slam?

293

Nathan Frazer got caught
up in the lights, man.

Quickness of this kid, Wes Lee.

298

A little bit extra.

Now Lee continuing to apply the offensive
pressure.

300

You got to stay on the move.

301
00:17:29,448 --> 00:17:31,884
You got to stay on your bicycle
with a big man like Von Wagner.

302
00:17:31,950 --> 00:17:34,887
You want to keep this
man close to the body.

Oh, my god.

304
00:17:36,355 --> 00:17:39,358
That's that man right there.

307

Mensah.

308
00:17:47,232 --> 00:17:49,068
Like I said, in the right
place at the right time.

309
00:17:49,134 --> 00:17:50,736
That's what the ladder match is all about.

310
00:17:50,803 --> 00:17:54,807
Pressure creates diamonds
and he has felt all the pressure

311

Mensah realized he was
going to crash and burn.

He tried to wipe out the field,
but trick Williams--

320
00:18:19,798 --> 00:18:22,868
Williams is afraid of heights.

being human demolition derby,

but that is what it is.

Who is going to climb the stairway
to hell to retrieve the gold?

Once again, it is Mensah.

Let me tell you something he's still got--

Big Von Wagner, the man that take care
all of the business.

Wagner certainly is all business.

he gets a ladder in his hands?

-I don't think he's that tall.

342
00:19:42,080 --> 00:19:43,348
He's going to need a little help.

343
00:19:43,415 --> 00:19:44,516
He's going to need a little help, Vic.

344
00:19:46,351 --> 00:19:48,187
He doesn't have
any help from Mr. Stone.

345
00:19:48,253 --> 00:19:50,722
Remember, he was just
wiped out by Trick Williams.

346
00:19:50,889 --> 00:19:57,229
Now Wagner has the moment,
has the time, and is wasting no time

347
00:19:57,296 --> 00:20:01,333
in finding not just any ladder.

348
00:20:03,735 --> 00:20:07,673
Book, that is a Von Wagner sized ladder.

349
00:20:07,739 --> 00:20:09,141
King size.

350
00:20:09,207 --> 00:20:11,176
Extra, extra.

351
00:20:15,514 --> 00:20:18,150
Mensah trying to do his best.

352
00:20:18,216 --> 00:20:20,118
Book, Wagner's been unstoppable.

353
00:20:20,185 --> 00:20:21,520
Like I say, he's been a--

354
00:20:21,587 --> 00:20:22,788
this is his sort of match.

355
00:20:22,854 --> 00:20:25,591
Wrecking ball in this match up right here.

356
00:20:25,657 --> 00:20:29,127
This match is tailor made
for a big man like Mensah.

357
00:20:29,194 --> 00:20:34,800
He has no pity, no care for
these superstars out here

358
00:20:34,866 --> 00:20:36,568
in the middle of this ring tonight.

359
00:20:37,769 --> 00:20:42,107
Evil intentions on
the mind of one Von Wagner.

360
00:20:42,574 --> 00:20:46,078
I don't like the looks of this right here.
I'm going to tell you that right now.

361
00:20:46,144 --> 00:20:47,946
I don't like the way this looks.

362
00:20:48,013 --> 00:20:51,717
What a way to kick off Halloween havoc.

363
00:20:52,417 --> 00:20:53,719
Wes Lee-- what?

364
00:20:53,785 --> 00:20:55,988
Frazer. What the hell is on Frazer's mind?

365
00:20:57,623 --> 00:21:00,459
Risking it all for the glory.

366
00:21:00,525 --> 00:21:06,098
[Crowd chants "holy --"]

367
00:21:12,137 --> 00:21:14,706
Wagner has only himself to blame.

368
00:21:14,773 --> 00:21:17,442
He was the one who brought
out that giant ladder,

369
00:21:17,509 --> 00:21:19,244
and you called him--
what did you call him earlier?

370
00:21:19,311 --> 00:21:20,479
A human highlight reel?

371
00:21:20,545 --> 00:21:23,782
That's what Nathan Frazer has done
tonight is highlight after

372
00:21:23,849 --> 00:21:26,284
highlight after highlight.

373
00:21:27,886 --> 00:21:32,291
Like I said, this kid Nathan Frazer
is a special, special type of talent.

374
00:21:32,357 --> 00:21:35,527
Showed me something in his
qualifying match against Axiom.

375
00:21:35,794 --> 00:21:38,363
To get through that match-- oh, man.

376
00:21:38,430 --> 00:21:42,934
Just as quick, just as we blink,
Wes Lee taking out Mensah.

377
00:21:43,001 --> 00:21:44,870
Mensah crashing hard.

378
00:21:44,936 --> 00:21:47,873
Hard shot right there to Wes Lee.

379
00:21:48,907 --> 00:21:54,146
Look at Hayes using his environment,
and here's that man, book.

380
00:21:54,212 --> 00:21:57,983
That man on top of the-- oh, man.

381
00:21:58,817 --> 00:22:02,154
Talking about a car crash here tonight.

382
00:22:02,220 --> 00:22:04,990
Wes Lee, I just saw in his eyes,
he's right here in front of us,

383
00:22:05,057 --> 00:22:07,726
Wes Lee will not be denied.

384
00:22:07,793 --> 00:22:09,928
Look into the eyes of Lee.

385
00:22:09,995 --> 00:22:13,331
He's determined as ever,
and he's focused now on the prize

386
00:22:13,398 --> 00:22:16,735
that hangs above the ring,
the North American championship.

387
00:22:21,039 --> 00:22:24,743
-Book, I thought there was only
-Come on.

388
00:22:24,810 --> 00:22:26,912
-one of these giant ladders.
-What do you think?

389
00:22:26,978 --> 00:22:28,814
What do you think? This is a ladder match.

390
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:30,615
-I'm not a handy man.
-This is a ladder match.

391
00:22:30,782 --> 00:22:34,052
We may get one bigger than
this if this don't work.

392
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:35,454
Come on, Wes.

393
00:22:35,520 --> 00:22:36,922
You can do it, man.

394
00:22:38,457 --> 00:22:42,294
Let's take a look at the bodies
that are around the ring.

395
00:22:42,360 --> 00:22:44,996
That ladder's so big,
Wes Lee is having a hard time getting

396
00:22:45,063 --> 00:22:46,264
into the ring right now.

397
00:22:46,331 --> 00:22:49,067
He got a bigger problem
than that ladder, I believe.

398
00:22:49,134 --> 00:22:53,004
He's standing now in the center
of the ring, it's Von Wagner.

399
00:22:55,874 --> 00:22:59,411
Wagner doing his best to navigate
his way around the ladder.

400
00:22:59,478 --> 00:23:00,879
Wasting too much time.

401
00:23:00,946 --> 00:23:03,215
To your point, there's Lee.

402
00:23:03,949 --> 00:23:06,051
Lee trying to climb, trying to hold on.

403
00:23:07,652 --> 00:23:09,054
Bad, bad.

404
00:23:10,422 --> 00:23:12,824
What the hell is he doing?

405
00:23:12,891 --> 00:23:14,459
-What is he doing?
-Look at the power.

406
00:23:14,526 --> 00:23:16,128
-What is he doing?
-Look at the strength.

407
00:23:16,194 --> 00:23:18,063
What the hell is he doing?

408
00:23:32,210 --> 00:23:37,783
Wagner now with everyone down,
there's no one to stop Von Wagner.

409
00:23:37,849 --> 00:23:39,151
Inches away.

410
00:23:39,217 --> 00:23:40,552
Frazer, Frazer.

411
00:23:44,089 --> 00:23:48,059
Frazer feeding off the energy
of the NXT universe.

412
00:23:48,126 --> 00:23:49,861
Trying to chop down Wagner.

413
00:23:50,896 --> 00:23:54,299
Now Frazer all alone at the tippy top.

414
00:23:58,203 --> 00:24:01,473
The power, book, is it
too much to overcome?

415
00:24:01,540 --> 00:24:03,809
What the hell are you thinking?

416
00:24:03,875 --> 00:24:05,944
Come over here and
look at Wes Lee laid out.

417
00:24:06,011 --> 00:24:07,913
This kid may need some help.

418
00:24:07,979 --> 00:24:13,552
I don't know what the hell is--
Von Wagner is a man on a mission

419
00:24:13,618 --> 00:24:15,387
alone tonight.

420
00:24:18,423 --> 00:24:19,457
Mensah.

421
00:24:19,524 --> 00:24:24,563
I don't know if that ladder
will win him the championship, but it

422
00:24:24,629 --> 00:24:26,965
might be able to chop down Wagner.

423
00:24:33,004 --> 00:24:36,741
These are the same two that
worked together to start the match up.

424
00:24:37,309 --> 00:24:41,480
It looked like they had put together
some sort of plan.

425
00:24:43,448 --> 00:24:45,217
Wagner again to his feet.

426
00:24:45,283 --> 00:24:46,117
Oh, man.

427
00:24:47,252 --> 00:24:51,823
If they're going to take the big man out,
do it quickly.

428
00:24:51,890 --> 00:24:53,725
We'll settle this between us.

429
00:24:53,792 --> 00:24:55,660
That's a great plan right there.

430
00:24:55,727 --> 00:24:58,997
They should've thought
of it a long time ago.

431
00:24:59,064 --> 00:25:02,968
It's not too late to succeed, book.

432
00:25:03,034 --> 00:25:08,340
This is some sound strategy after the
devastation we've seen from Wagner.

433
00:25:08,406 --> 00:25:10,075
Just look at your feet first hand.

434
00:25:10,141 --> 00:25:13,545
Wes Lee, like I said,
is in dire straits right now.

435
00:25:13,612 --> 00:25:16,047
He's in a lot of pain and I know he's out.

436
00:25:16,114 --> 00:25:18,483
Wes Lee is out.

437
00:25:18,550 --> 00:25:20,685
Wes Lee is done for tonight.

438
00:25:20,752 --> 00:25:22,921
Now Mensah.

439
00:25:22,988 --> 00:25:24,523
Mensah trying to make a golden night.

440
00:25:24,589 --> 00:25:26,324
Mensah quickly trying to scale.

441
00:25:26,391 --> 00:25:27,993
-Here we go.
-There's Frazer on the other side.

442
00:25:28,059 --> 00:25:32,264
It's a race to the top,
and both men now inches away

443
00:25:32,864 --> 00:25:34,299
from the North American title.

444
00:25:34,366 --> 00:25:37,669
Inches away from their first
singles championships here in NXT.

445
00:25:38,570 --> 00:25:40,705
Right now it's turned into a fight.

446
00:25:40,772 --> 00:25:44,376
It's all about that North American
Heavyweight Championship

447
00:25:44,442 --> 00:25:46,378
that hangs high above.

448
00:25:47,946 --> 00:25:52,417
Frazer's got his hands,
and Mensah quickly.

449
00:25:52,484 --> 00:25:54,052
Now he's the one reaching up.

450
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:55,086
He's so close.

451
00:25:55,153 --> 00:25:58,523
That championship just spinning,
just moving,

452
00:25:58,590 --> 00:26:02,627
just within the fingertips,
the clutches of both these superstars.

453
00:26:02,694 --> 00:26:04,429
Mensah now.

454
00:26:07,766 --> 00:26:08,967
Mensah's all alone.

455
00:26:09,534 --> 00:26:13,004
Hayes from behind, and again
we talk about Hayes have already

456
00:26:13,071 --> 00:26:15,473
being in one of this
multi-men ladder matches.

457
00:26:15,540 --> 00:26:16,875
As Mensah was holding on for a moment.

458
00:26:16,942 --> 00:26:19,511
Couldn't quite get a full
grip on the championship.

459
00:26:21,046 --> 00:26:22,914
Beautiful there by Carmelo Hayes.

460
00:26:22,981 --> 00:26:26,017
You're moments away, kid.

461
00:26:26,084 --> 00:26:27,485
You're moments away.

462
00:26:27,552 --> 00:26:29,654
You're about to be
on top of the world, ma.

463
00:26:29,721 --> 00:26:31,590
All you got to do is grab it.

464
00:26:31,656 --> 00:26:33,425
Book, is this the moment for melo?

465
00:26:33,491 --> 00:26:35,293
Do we have a threepeat?

466
00:26:35,360 --> 00:26:36,528
There's Wes Lee.

467
00:26:37,162 --> 00:26:41,566
Lee out of desperation saves
this match up for not only himself

468
00:26:41,633 --> 00:26:44,269
but every other competitor here
at Halloween havoc.

469
00:26:45,437 --> 00:26:46,805
You got to be kidding me.

470
00:26:46,871 --> 00:26:48,406
Wes Lee is back in
the middle of that ring.

471
00:26:48,473 --> 00:26:51,576
By any means necessary,
this kid is willing to go through hell

472
00:26:51,643 --> 00:26:55,113
and high water to get that
championship around his waist.

473
00:26:59,618 --> 00:27:03,355
Book, it's unbelievable
that these two are still standing

474
00:27:03,421 --> 00:27:07,125
after this brutal ladder match.

475
00:27:07,659 --> 00:27:11,062
Heads up there by Lee to chop down Hayes,

476
00:27:11,129 --> 00:27:13,164
and now trying to climb again is Lee.

477
00:27:16,067 --> 00:27:20,071
Rung after rung, and
Hayes right on his heels.

478
00:27:20,772 --> 00:27:24,342
Couple of body shots from Hayes,
weakening the body of Lee.

479
00:27:24,409 --> 00:27:28,013
Lee doing his best at this
moment to try to slug it out, book.

480
00:27:28,079 --> 00:27:29,981
Yes. Right now it's just a fight.

481
00:27:30,048 --> 00:27:34,152
It's just a fight, but right now
I don't like the positioning.

482
00:27:34,219 --> 00:27:35,520
I don't like the positioning right now,
Vic.

483
00:27:35,587 --> 00:27:36,721
I don't like it at all.

484
00:27:36,788 --> 00:27:37,989
It's about who wants it more.

485
00:27:38,056 --> 00:27:39,658
Who's willing to go that extra inch?

486
00:27:39,724 --> 00:27:41,493
Who's willing to go that extra mile?

487
00:27:42,160 --> 00:27:44,729
Who's willing to lay it
all on the line tonight?

488
00:27:46,531 --> 00:27:49,701
Grabbing on out of desperation
the heel for a moment.

489
00:27:49,768 --> 00:27:53,905
Lee looking up and
realizing Hayes is still right there.

490
00:27:57,942 --> 00:27:59,210
Lee again.

491
00:28:06,785 --> 00:28:10,789
One more time, and now
Lee taking a look around.

492
00:28:10,855 --> 00:28:12,524
Is this Lee's moment?

493
00:28:12,590 --> 00:28:13,425
Lee's going up.

494
00:28:13,491 --> 00:28:15,660
-You talked about the pain and suffering--
-everything he's

495
00:28:15,727 --> 00:28:20,932
gone through this year since
the beginning of 2022 for this moment.

496

-One more rung.

-He's there.
-Wes Lee's to the top.

498

Wes Lee's got the gold. [bell ringing]

Wes Lee.

503
00:28:48,093 --> 00:28:53,631
The love from the NXT universe
for Wes Lee.

504

From tears of sadness
to pure tears of joy.

505
00:28:58,069 --> 00:29:03,341
Lee's first ever singles title ever
in any promotion, book.

506

The first time ever.

507

Yes, indeed.

was going to be.

00:29:16,855 --> 00:29:18,189
Book, here it is again.

512
00:29:18,256 --> 00:29:22,293
We got the hell out of dodge
because Lee was in our laps.

513
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:24,829
For all intensive purposes,
I got to be honest.

514
00:29:24,896 --> 00:29:27,832
I didn't think there was
a snowball's chance in hell Wes

515
00:29:27,899 --> 00:29:31,402
Lee was going to get back to his feet
to even continue this match,

516
00:29:31,469 --> 00:29:34,939
but somehow, some way,
he continued to gut it out.

517
00:29:35,006 --> 00:29:36,107
He continued to dig deep.

518
00:29:36,174 --> 00:29:38,810
He continued to find that
different gear in places that

519
00:29:38,877 --> 00:29:42,080
most men don't have to persevere
and push through.

520
00:29:42,147 --> 00:29:45,583
What happened in the end,
Wes Lee reached the pinnacle,

521
00:29:45,650 --> 00:29:51,389
reached the top,
and the cardiac kid raises above all here

522
00:29:51,456 --> 00:29:53,925
tonight at Halloween havoc.

523
00:30:05,303 --> 00:30:09,774
[soft music playing]

524
00:30:13,011 --> 00:30:15,079
I am from Knoxville, Tennessee.

525
00:30:15,880 --> 00:30:18,917
I was born April 9th, 1989.

526
00:30:19,751 --> 00:30:23,721
Sports has been a part of my life
ever since I can remember.

527
00:30:26,224 --> 00:30:28,793
I got very good very quickly.

528
00:30:31,529 --> 00:30:34,365
I was obsessed with
being the absolute best.

529
00:30:34,432 --> 00:30:39,103
I earned a full athletes scholarship
to the University of South Carolina,

530
00:30:40,371 --> 00:30:42,740
but I put a lot of pressure on myself

531
00:30:42,807 --> 00:30:48,313
and so I forgot that I was supposed
to be having fun in the process.

532
00:30:50,014 --> 00:30:55,553
I was always naturally
a muscular, bigger girl,

533
00:30:55,620 --> 00:30:59,090
so I started dieting to try to get faster.

534
00:30:59,157 --> 00:31:02,026
That's when I developed bulimia.

535
00:31:06,197 --> 00:31:09,400
I just got really, really lost.

536
00:31:10,268 --> 00:31:14,772
At that point, I was like
I need to face my demons

537
00:31:14,839 --> 00:31:15,740
and I went back home.

538
00:31:16,608 --> 00:31:18,977
I was like this hometown success

539
00:31:19,043 --> 00:31:22,080
and now I'm back at home and I failed.

540
00:31:23,681 --> 00:31:25,416
I was in a dark place.

541
00:31:26,317 --> 00:31:28,853
That's when WWE came into my life.

542
00:31:31,356 --> 00:31:35,593
Bianca Belair is who I wanted to be
as a little girl,

543
00:31:35,660 --> 00:31:37,929
but I was too shy to be her.

544
00:31:39,030 --> 00:31:43,001
I feel like I'm in this environment now
where I can just be me.

545
00:31:43,067 --> 00:31:44,369
[music]

546
00:31:48,840 --> 00:31:52,910
I'm the b-e-s-t and
that ain't up for debate.

547
00:31:52,977 --> 00:31:54,212
I was meant to be here.

548
00:31:55,046 --> 00:31:57,949
I just didn't know this was my dream
until it was my reality.

549
00:32:04,389 --> 00:32:10,061
The EST of WWE is now the B-E-S-T.

550
00:32:12,463 --> 00:32:16,301
I want young girls
to see themselves in me.

551
00:32:16,801 --> 00:32:20,071
We are just getting
started creating history.

552
00:32:20,672 --> 00:32:24,275
They don't have to dim
their light for anyone.

553
00:32:27,312 --> 00:32:28,846
Now, looking back at my life,

554
00:32:28,913 --> 00:32:32,317
I look at all the pieces
that led me to WWE.

555
00:32:32,383 --> 00:32:34,585
Who knew that I had dream
and my final destination was sitting

556
00:32:34,652 --> 00:32:37,055
right here on my shoulder now?

557
00:32:45,697 --> 00:32:46,731
[music]

558
00:32:47,231 --> 00:32:50,768
What a way to kick off tonight with
the first of three championship match ups.

559
00:32:50,835 --> 00:32:55,606
There you see JD McDonagh putting
in a few extra moments

560
00:32:55,673 --> 00:32:58,710
of preparation before that main event
match later tonight.

561
00:32:58,776 --> 00:33:01,713
Book, is this the type of focus
you want to see out of JD McDonagh?

562
00:33:01,779 --> 00:33:04,282
Man, I love this kid, JD McDonagh.

563
00:33:04,349 --> 00:33:06,084
He's a different type of animal.

564
00:33:06,150 --> 00:33:09,120
He's a guy that
if he has you in his cross hairs,

565
00:33:09,187 --> 00:33:10,121
he's going to take you out.

566
00:33:10,188 --> 00:33:11,656
I cannot wait to see this man in action.

567
00:33:11,723 --> 00:33:14,125
Of course, in the main event,
Bron Breakker does not have to

568
00:33:14,192 --> 00:33:20,098
be factored in the decision
to lose his championship.

569
00:33:20,164 --> 00:33:27,138
[music]

570
00:33:29,674 --> 00:33:31,576
Did they just crank on
the air conditioning in here?

571
00:33:31,642 --> 00:33:33,077
It feels a little cold.

572
00:33:36,047 --> 00:33:40,485
Well, there is the casket
for our upcoming casket match and

573
00:33:40,551 --> 00:33:42,186
while we want to say congratulations

574
00:33:42,253 --> 00:33:44,756
to Wes Lee on his win
of the North American title,

575
00:33:44,822 --> 00:33:46,858
we got to go to Alba Fyre

576
00:33:47,024 --> 00:33:49,727
last night with an eerie
message of her own.

577
00:33:57,935 --> 00:33:59,704
Mandy Rose,

578
00:33:59,771 --> 00:34:05,243
if you want to fight Fyre with fire
then meet me here tomorrow night.

579
00:34:07,645 --> 00:34:09,947
Listen, Alba wants to
fight Fyre with fire?

580
00:34:10,014 --> 00:34:11,015
Let's play.

581
00:34:11,082 --> 00:34:14,018
-You can't be serious.
-Dead serious.

582
00:34:14,085 --> 00:34:16,621
Yeah, you're not actually
thinking about going, are you?

583
00:34:16,687 --> 00:34:17,822
What do you mean actually?

584
00:34:17,889 --> 00:34:20,158
Of course, we're going
and what do I have to be afraid of?

585
00:34:20,224 --> 00:34:24,062
I am the most dominant champion
in NXT history, and ladies,

586
00:34:24,128 --> 00:34:26,030
we are Toxic Attraction.

587
00:34:26,097 --> 00:34:30,735
Yeah, there's Toxic Attraction
and everybody else,

588
00:34:30,802 --> 00:34:32,303
but that doesn't mean you should go.

589
00:34:32,370 --> 00:34:35,673
Listen, I'm going to beat her down,
drag her ass back here,

590
00:34:35,740 --> 00:34:37,975
and finish this
in the middle of the ring, okay?

591
00:34:38,042 --> 00:34:39,410
Let's go. Title.

592
00:34:40,478 --> 00:34:41,712
Thank you.

593
00:34:44,582 --> 00:34:45,850
-Is she crazy?
-Oh, my god.

594
00:34:45,917 --> 00:34:46,818
Just let's go.

595
00:34:47,518 --> 00:34:50,321
-[tense music plays]
-[crows cawing]

596
00:35:09,307 --> 00:35:11,309
-We're here.
-Oh.

597
00:35:11,375 --> 00:35:13,578
Okay. First of all, don't be so dramatic.

598
00:35:13,644 --> 00:35:16,948
We're going to find Alba,
beat her down, and drag her as back

599
00:35:17,014 --> 00:35:18,382
and finish her in the ring, okay?

600
00:35:18,449 --> 00:35:22,620
Correction. You two
are going to go look for Alba.

601
00:35:22,687 --> 00:35:24,422
I'm going to say in the car.

602
00:35:24,922 --> 00:35:27,391
That girl, she broke a rib on Tuesday.

603
00:35:27,458 --> 00:35:29,827
-I just--
-Oh, suck it up.

604
00:35:29,894 --> 00:35:31,729
You know what? I've changed my mind.

605
00:35:31,796 --> 00:35:32,997
This is going to be easy.

606
00:35:33,064 --> 00:35:36,234
It's three-on-one.
Doesn't matter how many bats she has.

607
00:35:36,300 --> 00:35:40,238
We go in, we destroy Alba, there is
no match, Mandy keeps her title.

608
00:35:40,304 --> 00:35:41,439
Easy peasy. Done.

609
00:35:41,506 --> 00:35:43,074
Thank you. Exactly.

610
00:35:43,141 --> 00:35:45,476
Okay, let's go show Alba
who the hell we are, right?

611
00:35:45,543 --> 00:35:47,044
You don't need me.

612
00:35:47,111 --> 00:35:51,048
One half of the greatest women's
tag team champions in history.

613
00:35:51,115 --> 00:35:52,650
The most dominant women's champion.

614
00:35:52,717 --> 00:35:53,985
Okay, you're coming.

615
00:35:54,051 --> 00:35:55,586
-Let's go.
-Come on. Let's go.

616
00:35:55,653 --> 00:35:57,822

You're going to need these.

620
00:36:20,378 --> 00:36:21,679
Can we go home?

621
00:36:21,746 --> 00:36:23,915
-Guys, this is spooky.
-I don't like it.

622
00:36:23,981 --> 00:36:26,417
-I actually like this.
-Stop it. Stop.

623

This isn't fun.

Oh, it's beautiful.

I don't think Alba's in there.

634
00:37:09,060 --> 00:37:10,261
Hey. Let's go back to the car.

635
00:37:10,328 --> 00:37:12,630
I think I've seen
this place before actually.

Yeah, Jacy, she's not here.
Come on. Let's go.

00:37:21,739 --> 00:37:22,773
Oh.

640
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:24,709
Come on, Jacy, you'll be fine.

641
00:37:28,546 --> 00:37:29,714
Come on, let's go.

00:37:38,489 --> 00:37:41,359
[creepy sounds]

643
00:37:50,468 --> 00:37:52,270
Okay, maybe we should split up.

644
00:37:52,336 --> 00:37:54,772
Oh, yeah, great.
Don't you watch horror movies?

645
00:37:54,839 --> 00:37:56,274
Never split up.

646
00:37:56,340 --> 00:37:58,709

-Not about the documentary. Please.

wait in the car?" [sobs]

-Because it's fun and I love Halloween.

649
00:38:07,551 --> 00:38:10,788
Okay, and I love holding on to my title.
So how about this?

650
00:38:10,855 --> 00:38:13,157
The faster we find Alba,
the faster we get out of here, okay?

651
00:38:13,224 --> 00:38:14,659
-All right.
-So we're splitting up.

652
00:38:14,725 --> 00:38:18,162
You go that way, you go that way,
and whoever finds her scream

653

-and we'll come find you, okay?
-Okay.

Let's go.

00:38:22,133 --> 00:38:23,968

my friend, and you, what are we doing?

682
00:39:33,771 --> 00:39:35,973
A little chamomile earl Grey?

683
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:38,042
You look like
you've got a nice hot cup of Joe.

684
00:39:38,309 --> 00:39:41,011
It's kind of cold out here, actually.
No, I'm good. What have we got?

685
00:39:41,078 --> 00:39:43,347
Oh, cake, it's someone's birthday.

686
00:39:43,414 --> 00:39:45,583

-No!

727
00:42:52,436 --> 00:42:56,006
Book, it's safe to say Mandy Rose
has never faced anyone like Alba Fyre.

728
00:42:56,073 --> 00:42:58,809
No, I told you, Fyre, she's different.

729
00:43:00,344 --> 00:43:04,615
Well, right now, speaking of different,
taking a look into the arena.

730
00:43:04,682 --> 00:43:10,854
The druids have finally
gotten the casket into place.

731
00:43:13,324 --> 00:43:17,661
The demonic wheels spoke
earlier tonight when it was found that

732
00:43:17,728 --> 00:43:23,367
these two superstars would
try to lock the other in a casket.

733

[music starts]

735
00:43:28,672 --> 00:43:31,241
[Apollo] Life is a seesaw of
breakthroughs and setbacks,

736
00:43:31,308 --> 00:43:33,944
but time constantly moves forward.

737
00:43:34,011 --> 00:43:35,946
Time waits for no man.

738
00:43:36,847 --> 00:43:39,917
[Vic] Welcome back to NXT, Apollo Crews.

739
00:43:40,651 --> 00:43:44,455
[Apollo] Every once in a while,
I hear the echoes of those three letters.

740
00:43:44,521 --> 00:43:46,724
NXT.

741
00:43:47,725 --> 00:43:51,161
Time is uncontrollable,
but I can control my future.

742
00:43:52,396 --> 00:43:54,798
Apollo! [laughs]

743
00:43:55,265 --> 00:43:57,034
-Why are you here?
-Why not?

744
00:43:57,101 --> 00:43:58,669
You're here to take from me, right?

745
00:43:58,736 --> 00:44:00,571
Apollo Crews is selfish

746
00:44:00,638 --> 00:44:03,540
and no one wants to
ask the tough questions, I will.

747
00:44:04,008 --> 00:44:07,711
Welcome to the premiere
of the Grayson Waller Effect.

748
00:44:07,778 --> 00:44:11,115
How does it feel
being nothing more than a clout chaser?

749
00:44:11,181 --> 00:44:14,251
See, the thing is,
I found something missing in myself

750
00:44:14,318 --> 00:44:17,688
and I had to come back to find out
what that was, and of course, naturally

751
00:44:17,755 --> 00:44:21,225
I knew some people would hate it
and be jealous like you.

752
00:44:21,291 --> 00:44:24,728
Here's a better question for you,
how does it feel when you go home

753
00:44:24,795 --> 00:44:26,630
your kids and you got to tell them

754
00:44:26,697 --> 00:44:29,633
daddy couldn't cut it
on Mondays and Fridays?

755
00:44:29,700 --> 00:44:32,736
[crowd cheers]

756
00:44:32,803 --> 00:44:35,973
[Vic] Waller and Crews
are going to battle it out one-on-one.

757
00:44:37,741 --> 00:44:41,645
Waller up and over
and an inadvertent rake of the eyes.

758
00:44:41,979 --> 00:44:45,549
Coming in, looking for it,
gets caught. Oh, and that's blatant.

759
00:44:46,550 --> 00:44:48,952
[announcer] That blind bum, Apollo Crews.

760
00:44:49,653 --> 00:44:52,056
You can kiss my ass.

761
00:44:56,627 --> 00:45:00,731
[Apollo] He tried to permanently blind
my vision, permanently blind me

762
00:45:00,798 --> 00:45:02,533
from seeing monumental moments.

763
00:45:04,735 --> 00:45:06,670
Everything still has a haze to it.

764
00:45:08,272 --> 00:45:09,239
Too grained to make out.

765
00:45:11,875 --> 00:45:16,647
But unlike Waller,
I'm not afraid of the unknown.

766
00:45:16,714 --> 00:45:20,350
[music starts]

767
00:45:21,085 --> 00:45:24,354
[Apollo] Fear lives inside of everyone,
but you can't run from fear,

768
00:45:25,289 --> 00:45:26,623
you have to confront it.

769
00:45:27,958 --> 00:45:31,128
It's easy to look at the man in the mirror
and say you will.

770
00:45:31,195 --> 00:45:33,831
[they chatter]

771
00:45:33,897 --> 00:45:38,135
[Apollo] At Halloween Havoc,
let's see what happens.

772
00:45:39,236 --> 00:45:41,772
[Waller] I already beat Apollo Crews.

773
00:45:41,839 --> 00:45:44,007
The tricks, the visions,
they end at Halloween Havoc,

774
00:45:44,074 --> 00:45:47,044
when one more time
Grayson Waller defeats--

775
00:45:47,111 --> 00:45:49,513
Boo, Grayson Waller. [laughs]

776
00:45:49,580 --> 00:45:50,848
It's your old pal, Chucky.

777
00:45:50,914 --> 00:45:54,051
Your match
at Halloween Havoc is going to be

778
00:45:54,118 --> 00:45:57,354
a spin-the-wheel-and-make-the-deal match.

779
00:45:57,421 --> 00:46:00,424
Grayson, at Halloween Havoc--

780
00:46:01,125 --> 00:46:02,226
So many choices.

781
00:46:02,292 --> 00:46:07,097
A ring of fire,
buried alive, casket, cage.

782
00:46:07,798 --> 00:46:09,800
I leave you in the dark.

783
00:46:10,434 --> 00:46:12,503
[Chucky] Don't fear the wheel, Grayson,

784
00:46:12,569 --> 00:46:14,404
it's your friend till the end.

785
00:46:16,473 --> 00:46:21,812
If you make it. [laughs]

The first superstar
to throw his opponent into the casket

789
00:46:31,255 --> 00:46:34,324
and close the lid
will be declared the winner.

[Vic] Book, I look at Grayson Waller,
you may like the guy,

798
00:47:15,098 --> 00:47:19,303
you may hate the guy,
he doesn't seem like himself right now

799
00:47:19,369 --> 00:47:21,905
by just taking a look at that casket.

800
00:47:21,972 --> 00:47:23,173
[Book] Yeah. Yeah.

801
00:47:23,240 --> 00:47:27,177
Would you do the same after the--
What'd you call it?

802
00:47:27,244 --> 00:47:30,848
The event that happened
under those bloody eyes.

803
00:47:30,914 --> 00:47:32,316
Would you be the same?

804
00:47:32,382 --> 00:47:34,685
[Vic] No, but I wouldn't have been
running my mouth to Apollo Crews

805
00:47:34,751 --> 00:47:37,521
for weeks and months either, to be fair.

806
00:47:38,755 --> 00:47:41,225
The wheel has spoken

807
00:47:42,826 --> 00:47:44,695
and a man who's been all smiles

808
00:47:44,761 --> 00:47:46,763
since earlier today
on his way to the ring.

809

-[music starts]
-[crowd chers]

810
00:47:50,701 --> 00:47:54,771
[Alicia] And his opponent, Apollo Crews.

811
00:47:54,838 --> 00:47:57,274
[Vic] I think the chorus
of the casket match

812
00:47:57,774 --> 00:48:02,746
to put your opponent inside the casket,
shut the lid, and for Apollo Crews,

813
00:48:02,813 --> 00:48:06,049
he's looking to do just that,
but also looking to fulfill

814
00:48:06,116 --> 00:48:11,121
what really has been
some brutal visions of Grayson Waller.

815
00:48:11,188 --> 00:48:14,625
[Book] Yes, indeed. I mean,
You talked about the casket match.

816
00:48:14,691 --> 00:48:17,861
Of course, they are not
preparing to go one-on-one

817
00:48:17,928 --> 00:48:22,532
with the Undertaker or anything
like that, but this is two guys

818
00:48:22,599 --> 00:48:26,270
that's got a score to
settle here at Halloween Havoc

819
00:48:26,336 --> 00:48:29,806
and somebody's going in a casket.

820
00:48:29,873 --> 00:48:32,009
[Vic] You mentioned the Undertaker,
this actually, Book,

821
00:48:32,075 --> 00:48:37,447
just the fourth casket match ever
to not to feature the WWE Hall of Famer.

822
00:48:37,514 --> 00:48:39,416
It's the first casket match ever in NXT,

823
00:48:39,483 --> 00:48:43,387
and the first in WWE
since the Greatest Royal Rumble.

824
00:48:43,453 --> 00:48:46,423
And for us,
we got the best seat in the house.

825
00:48:47,591 --> 00:48:49,359
I can't really complain
how that wheel came up.

826
00:48:49,426 --> 00:48:50,560
[Book] Guess what, Vic?

827
00:48:50,627 --> 00:48:51,862
I didn't know that.

828
00:48:51,929 --> 00:48:53,664
-[bell rings]
-[Brook laughs]

829
00:48:53,730 --> 00:48:56,967
[Vic] Right now, right off rip,
Waller going right at Crews.

830
00:48:57,034 --> 00:49:00,203
Look, there is no love lost
between either of these two superstars.

831
00:49:00,737 --> 00:49:01,705
Oh!

832
00:49:01,772 --> 00:49:04,041
[Book] Beautiful dropkick there by Crews.

833
00:49:05,142 --> 00:49:06,843
[Vic] And Crews right back on top.

834
00:49:06,910 --> 00:49:09,846
Look, crews has been trying to
get his hands on Grayson Waller.

835
00:49:09,913 --> 00:49:12,082
It's been an eye for an eye.

836
00:49:12,149 --> 00:49:16,520
Crews all about retribution,
trying to get his hands on Waller,

837
00:49:16,586 --> 00:49:20,057
and of course,
trending number one in the United States

838
00:49:20,123 --> 00:49:23,427
because of the high-impact offense
what we just saw

839
00:49:23,493 --> 00:49:28,165
from that opening ladder match to the
absolute unknown in this casket match.

840
00:49:28,231 --> 00:49:30,734
And it's the unknown
that doesn't scare Crews.

841
00:49:30,801 --> 00:49:33,036
[Book] You're talking
about that ladder match.

842
00:49:33,103 --> 00:49:35,272
What a match, but right now we've got

843
00:49:35,339 --> 00:49:37,874
Crews versus Waller casket match.

844
00:49:37,941 --> 00:49:42,045
Let me tell you something,
just because Apollo came back to NXT

845
00:49:42,112 --> 00:49:46,350
to find a few missing pieces,
don't think this guy's not talented,

846
00:49:46,416 --> 00:49:50,620
but tonight is a must,
must win for Apollo Crews.

847
00:49:50,687 --> 00:49:54,458
[Vic] Oh, Waller dropping
the elbow, dropping Crews.

848
00:49:55,492 --> 00:49:58,328
Oh, and you just mentioned the Undertaker.

849
00:49:58,395 --> 00:50:01,465
Of course, Waller not afraid
to poke fun at legends,

850
00:50:01,531 --> 00:50:04,000
and now Crews
not playing around in this match up.

851
00:50:04,067 --> 00:50:06,336
Look, for Apollo Crews, it's very simple.

852
00:50:06,403 --> 00:50:09,106
He truly believes that
he came back for a reason.

853
00:50:09,172 --> 00:50:10,807
That reason is unfinished business.

854
00:50:10,874 --> 00:50:14,177
To wear gold around his waist,
and would you say the winner of this match

855
00:50:14,244 --> 00:50:16,546
could be next in line
for the NXT championship?

856
00:50:16,613 --> 00:50:18,849
[Book] Yeah, I think so.
I definitely think so.

857
00:50:18,915 --> 00:50:21,852
Apollo Crews,
the man has definitely got all the talent,

858
00:50:21,918 --> 00:50:26,423
but I think Crews came back for more
so than just to get gold around his waist,

859
00:50:26,490 --> 00:50:28,358
but to fine tune himself.

860
00:50:28,425 --> 00:50:30,927
To figure out
not just how to get to the top,

861
00:50:30,994 --> 00:50:33,163
but how to stay at the top, dawg.

862
00:50:33,797 --> 00:50:37,534
[Vic] Of course,
Crews a former intercontinental champion,

863
00:50:37,601 --> 00:50:40,804
United States champion,
has competed at Wrestlemania.

864
00:50:40,871 --> 00:50:43,106
And now you see Waller trying to run away.

865
00:50:44,007 --> 00:50:46,143
And Waller just seeing a small opening.

866
00:50:46,209 --> 00:50:47,844
This is what I mean
whether you like him or not,

867
00:50:47,911 --> 00:50:49,980
you got to respect the game
of Grayson Waller.

868
00:50:50,047 --> 00:50:52,315
[Book] Let me tell you something.
This Grayson Waller has

869
00:50:52,382 --> 00:50:54,451
a boat load of confidence.

870
00:50:54,518 --> 00:50:56,420
I don't know how talented he is.

871
00:50:56,486 --> 00:50:57,988
We're going to find out tonight.

872
00:50:58,055 --> 00:51:01,925
If it was going on confidence,
he got a win already.

873
00:51:02,426 --> 00:51:05,495
[Book] Waller said he was going to
run Crews out of NXT.

874
00:51:05,562 --> 00:51:09,733
And Book, I got to believe it's a little
harder than Waller originally thought.

875
00:51:11,134 --> 00:51:14,538
Charging right back in, and got launched.

876
00:51:14,838 --> 00:51:17,874
[Book] Oh, dear. This is going to be
a lot harder because Apollo Crews,

877
00:51:17,941 --> 00:51:21,311
he's a tremendous athlete.
He's an amazing talent.

878
00:51:21,378 --> 00:51:26,783
Like I say, taking a step back is
ala Drew Mcintyre, ala Cody Rhodes.

879
00:51:26,850 --> 00:51:29,519
Let me figure this thing out
a minute, man.

880
00:51:30,120 --> 00:51:32,856
[Vic] Crews trying to
put the pieces together.

881
00:51:32,923 --> 00:51:34,391
As we mentioned, an eye for an eye.

882
00:51:34,458 --> 00:51:36,460
Now Waller
getting a little combination in.

883
00:51:36,526 --> 00:51:38,595
[Book] Nice combination there by Waller.

884
00:51:38,662 --> 00:51:41,531
Like I said, don't sleep on
this kid, Grayson Waller.

885
00:51:41,598 --> 00:51:44,701
Right now, he has,
like I say, a boat load of confidence.

886
00:51:44,768 --> 00:51:49,606
In this business right there, it could
take you straight to the top, Vic.

887
00:51:50,373 --> 00:51:52,709
[Vic] Waller tonight doesn't
have the mental advantage

888
00:51:52,776 --> 00:51:54,611
that he typically does because, really,

889
00:51:54,678 --> 00:51:56,880
it's been Crews
playing the mental games against Waller.

890
00:51:57,514 --> 00:51:59,483
[Book] That's the thing.
Crews has been to--

891
00:51:59,549 --> 00:52:02,853
[Vic] Whoa! Waller might have been
looking to dump Crews

892
00:52:02,919 --> 00:52:03,854
towards that casket.

893
00:52:03,920 --> 00:52:05,122
Again, in this casket match,

894
00:52:05,188 --> 00:52:07,357
you have to put your opponent
in the casket and shut the lid.

895
00:52:07,424 --> 00:52:10,160
[Book] Like I was saying,
Crews has been to that next level.

896
00:52:10,227 --> 00:52:13,730
Crews knows all about
the mind games, the tricks, the politics

897
00:52:13,797 --> 00:52:14,831
in the locker room.

898
00:52:14,898 --> 00:52:16,833
This is nothing new for Apollo.

899
00:52:16,900 --> 00:52:19,269
-[crowd] Let's go, Grayson!
-[crowd] Waller sucks!

900
00:52:19,336 --> 00:52:24,641
[Vic] Well, again-- Action getting
a little too close for comfort.

901
00:52:24,708 --> 00:52:27,777
[crowd cheers]

902
00:52:27,844 --> 00:52:30,280
[they groan]

903
00:52:30,347 --> 00:52:32,215
[Book] Yes, indeed.

904
00:52:32,282 --> 00:52:33,917
-[Vic] Whoa!
-[Book] Wow!

905
00:52:35,485 --> 00:52:36,586
[Book] What the hell?

906
00:52:38,522 --> 00:52:39,756
[Vic] That's my pen.

907
00:52:40,323 --> 00:52:44,227
I'm throwing something--
I told you he'd cut corners,

908
00:52:45,295 --> 00:52:47,797
and that's what Waller's got to do,
though, Book, in this match.

909
00:52:47,864 --> 00:52:49,366
Right, wrong, or indifferent.

910
00:52:49,432 --> 00:52:51,067
[Book] Did you say that was your pen?

911
00:52:51,134 --> 00:52:52,269
[Vic] It was my pen.

912
00:52:52,335 --> 00:52:55,438
-[Book] Don't you feel any blame for that?
-[Vic] What do you mean?

913
00:52:55,505 --> 00:52:58,542
[Book] I mean,
you are an accomplice to a crime.

914
00:52:58,875 --> 00:53:02,445
[Vic] Just watch the pen. He grabs my pen
and then use it to his advantage.

915
00:53:02,512 --> 00:53:04,581
Again, right, wrong, or indifferent,

916
00:53:05,682 --> 00:53:09,019
Grayson Waller went
right into the eye of Apollo Crews,

917
00:53:09,085 --> 00:53:10,554
and that's what this is about.

918
00:53:10,620 --> 00:53:13,356
An eye for an eye
between these two superstars.

919
00:53:16,459 --> 00:53:18,995
-May I borrow your pen please?
-[Book] No, you cannot.

920
00:53:19,062 --> 00:53:20,797
[crowd chatters]

921
00:53:20,864 --> 00:53:25,035
[Vic] Waller certainly has turned
this match up around rather quickly.

922
00:53:25,101 --> 00:53:27,904
And now right over by the casket.

923
00:53:28,605 --> 00:53:29,873
[they groan]

924
00:53:29,940 --> 00:53:32,842
[Book] Apollo had everything
going for him there for a second.

925
00:53:32,909 --> 00:53:37,347
That's the Apollo I was about to say,
about to put the locker room on notice,

926
00:53:37,414 --> 00:53:40,917
and Waller
just turned it around quick as a cat.

927
00:53:40,984 --> 00:53:46,389
-[crowd] Let's go Apollo!
-[crowd] Let's go Grayson!

928
00:53:46,456 --> 00:53:49,693
[Vic] What is on the mind of Apollo Crews?

929
00:53:49,759 --> 00:53:55,332
As you hear the very vocal NXT universe
here tonight at Halloween Havoc.

930
00:53:56,199 --> 00:53:59,202
And Waller thumb to the eye.
Right to the eye again of Crews.

931
00:53:59,269 --> 00:54:01,304
[Book] Man! Whoa!

932
00:54:02,505 --> 00:54:03,673
That's it!

933
00:54:05,175 --> 00:54:06,476
It's over!

934
00:54:06,543 --> 00:54:12,449
[crowd chatters]

935
00:54:21,358 --> 00:54:24,594
[Vic] The referee using
their discretion that--

936
00:54:24,661 --> 00:54:25,829
[Book] It's over!

937
00:54:26,029 --> 00:54:28,798
[Vic] Look, the object of the match up
is to put your opponent

938
00:54:28,865 --> 00:54:30,900
in the casket and close the lid.

939
00:54:30,967 --> 00:54:33,570
[Book] The ref needs to
have the wherewithal,

940
00:54:33,637 --> 00:54:37,974
the understanding
and know-how to raise this man's hand.

941
00:54:38,041 --> 00:54:42,646
-[music starts]
-[crowd chatters]

942
00:55:03,833 --> 00:55:06,936
[Vic] What's Waller looking at?

943
00:55:15,612 --> 00:55:17,747
-Book.
-[Book] What the hell's going on?

944
00:55:21,084 --> 00:55:26,122
[Vic] Book, are the druids
bringing another casket to the ring?

945
00:55:27,324 --> 00:55:30,293
And Crews taking it to Waller now.

946
00:55:30,360 --> 00:55:33,663
This match up is not over.
This match up is continuing.

947
00:55:33,730 --> 00:55:37,400
You have to put your opponent
in the casket and shut the lid.

948
00:55:37,467 --> 00:55:39,803
[Book] Vic, this match should be over.

949
00:55:39,869 --> 00:55:42,672
I don't know
what the hell's going on right now.

950
00:55:43,840 --> 00:55:46,076
[Vic] This match up is continuing,

951
00:55:47,877 --> 00:55:50,413
and Crews is taking it to Waller.

952
00:55:51,681 --> 00:55:53,817
Apollo Crews-- Wait a minute.

953
00:55:53,883 --> 00:55:55,985
When is too far too far, though?

954
00:55:56,052 --> 00:56:00,557
-[Book] Whoa!
-[crowd chatters]

955
00:56:00,623 --> 00:56:02,425
There's nowhere for Waller to run.

956
00:56:02,726 --> 00:56:04,894
There's nowhere for Waller to hide.

957
00:56:06,129 --> 00:56:08,031
-Whoa!
-[Book] Oh, god!

958
00:56:08,098 --> 00:56:11,067
[cheers and applause]

959
00:56:11,134 --> 00:56:13,670
[Vic] You talk about
some high-impact offense.

960
00:56:14,170 --> 00:56:17,307
I understand what's going on right now
between Waller and Crews,

961
00:56:17,374 --> 00:56:23,813
but I can't help but look up and see
these druids with yet another casket.

962
00:56:24,114 --> 00:56:26,449
-You thought this was over.
-[Book] Yes, indeed.

963
00:56:26,516 --> 00:56:28,384
I thought it was over,
and the druids you talk about,

964
00:56:28,451 --> 00:56:34,023
they are intimidating, and Waller
is definitely on the receiving end

965
00:56:34,858 --> 00:56:38,628
of a beat down here at Halloween Havoc.

966
00:56:38,695 --> 00:56:42,365
[cheers and applause]

967
00:56:42,432 --> 00:56:45,802
[Vic] And you see Crews.
That's a much bigger casket.

968
00:56:45,869 --> 00:56:48,438
That casket is double deep
and double wide.

969
00:56:49,672 --> 00:56:53,743
And Crews calling for the officials
to open it, and now he's looking

970
00:56:53,810 --> 00:56:55,612
to plant Waller inside of it.

971
00:56:55,678 --> 00:56:58,782
[Book] Waller got in a little quicker
though. Trying to figure it out.

972
00:56:58,848 --> 00:57:03,453
[Book] Like a scolded dog trying to
get away and Crews right on top of Waller.

973
00:57:03,953 --> 00:57:07,690
This means so much for Crews.
He's heard what Waller's had to say.

974
00:57:07,757 --> 00:57:09,659
He's heard what Waller's had to say
about his children.

975
00:57:09,726 --> 00:57:12,495
He's heard what Waller's had to say
about the rest of his family.

976
00:57:12,562 --> 00:57:15,932
Apollo Crews looking to
put Waller to bed here tonight.

977
00:57:16,499 --> 00:57:19,602
[Book] This Apollo Crews right here,
this is the Apollo Crews

978
00:57:19,669 --> 00:57:22,639
that we need to see on a weekly basis.

979
00:57:22,705 --> 00:57:25,809
You talk about Apollo Crews
coming back to get gold.

980
00:57:25,875 --> 00:57:28,878
This is a guy that
could win a world championship

981
00:57:28,945 --> 00:57:32,182
anywhere in the world
right here in the middle of this ring.

982
00:57:32,248 --> 00:57:36,186
[Vic] What goes up must come down,
and that casket is open.

983
00:57:36,252 --> 00:57:41,057
And, Book, that's a much more
sturdy casket, don't you think?

984
00:57:41,124 --> 00:57:43,426
[Book] It is.
Just knocked all the wind out of Waller.

985
00:57:43,493 --> 00:57:44,994
All he just has to do is

986
00:57:45,061 --> 00:57:49,499
Just roll him in and close the lid, man.

987
00:57:49,566 --> 00:57:52,602
[Vic] Waller so close. Crews.

988
00:57:53,069 --> 00:57:54,671
Waller's inside the casket.

989
00:57:54,737 --> 00:57:57,740
All crews has to do now is shut the lid.

990
00:58:00,710 --> 00:58:04,280
Crews trying to shut the lid
and Waller getting up.

991
00:58:04,347 --> 00:58:06,749
[they groan]

992
00:58:06,816 --> 00:58:08,651
[Book] It's not going to be
that easy tonight.

993
00:58:08,718 --> 00:58:12,655
[Vic] Certainly not, and Waller
quickly hopping out of the casket.

994
00:58:12,722 --> 00:58:14,390
Definitely gives him the heebie-jeebies.

995
00:58:16,025 --> 00:58:18,361
[Book] Man, they want you to be--
Oh, my god.

996
00:58:18,428 --> 00:58:21,865
They want you to be
real comfortable in this casket.

997
00:58:21,931 --> 00:58:25,134
They got pillows and everything.
It may have a jacuzzi.

998
00:58:25,201 --> 00:58:26,202
I think it's big.

999
00:58:26,269 --> 00:58:29,239
[Vic] Yeah. You're in there, you may
not be getting out, and that is exactly

1000
00:58:29,305 --> 00:58:31,174
where Crews finds himself now.

1001
00:58:31,241 --> 00:58:35,278
Waller looking to shut the lid.
Crews trying to fight it from underneath.

1002
00:58:35,345 --> 00:58:38,214
Trying to keep the lid from closing.

1003
00:58:38,281 --> 00:58:41,784
[cheers and applause]

1004
00:58:41,851 --> 00:58:45,321
Crews using that strength,
and now Crews dragging Waller inside.

1005
00:58:45,588 --> 00:58:47,857
-Both men inside the casket.
-[Book] Like I said, man.

1006
00:58:47,924 --> 00:58:51,528
That thing is about as big as
a double wide is this casket.

1007
00:58:51,594 --> 00:58:54,831
[they groan]

1008
00:58:54,898 --> 00:59:00,303
[crowd cheers]

1009
00:59:00,370 --> 00:59:02,438
[Vic] And Waller-- Uh-oh.

1010
00:59:02,505 --> 00:59:04,073
Waller not going to like the looks.

1011
00:59:04,140 --> 00:59:07,377
Trying to scratch and claw,
but you reap what you sow.

1012
00:59:09,045 --> 00:59:10,947
[Book] Oh, man.

1013
00:59:12,515 --> 00:59:15,885
[Vic] No love lost between
these two superstars, and I wonder, Book,

1014
00:59:15,952 --> 00:59:18,321
how hard it is to even prepare
for a casket match,

1015
00:59:18,388 --> 00:59:22,458
let alone finding out
just a few hours ago what sort of match up

1016
00:59:22,525 --> 00:59:25,628
you would be competing
in at Halloween Havoc.

1017
00:59:25,695 --> 00:59:27,797
[Book] You just talked about it earlier.
This match right here,

1018
00:59:27,864 --> 00:59:32,702
Waller is a kid that's got a whole lot
of room for mistakes, but Apollo?

1019
00:59:32,769 --> 00:59:33,803
No, no, no.

1020
00:59:33,870 --> 00:59:38,408
This is a must win for Apollo Crews
tonight here at Halloween Havoc.

1021
00:59:38,474 --> 00:59:42,812
He has to put Waller in that casket
and close that lid, man.

1022
00:59:42,879 --> 00:59:45,281
[crowd] Apollo! Apollo!

1023
00:59:45,348 --> 00:59:48,251
[Vic] No doubt who the NXT universe
is behind, and I believe Crews

1024
00:59:48,318 --> 00:59:50,286
just whispered to the official,
open the casket again

1025
00:59:50,353 --> 00:59:54,657
because he's looking to plant
with some authority Waller.

1026
00:59:55,558 --> 00:59:57,794
Waller doing his best
to weasel his way free.

1027
00:59:57,860 --> 01:00:01,698
Trying to get away from Crews
by any means necessary at this point.

1028
01:00:01,764 --> 01:00:05,268
Kawada Kick, connects.
And again, Waller on rubber legs.

1029
01:00:05,335 --> 01:00:10,306
[crowd cheers]

1030
01:00:10,373 --> 01:00:12,375
[Book] Oh, beautiful!

1031
01:00:12,442 --> 01:00:15,311
[crowd cheers]

1032
01:00:15,378 --> 01:00:19,415
[Vic] Oh, the Arrogant Aussie,
is he going to leave Halloween Havoc

1033
01:00:19,482 --> 01:00:21,150
with the biggest trick of them all?

1034
01:00:21,217 --> 01:00:25,888
[Book] Oh, this kid Waller is crafty, man.

1035
01:00:25,955 --> 01:00:28,591
I like it. I like it a lot.

1036
01:00:28,658 --> 01:00:31,894
[crowd booing]

1037
01:00:31,961 --> 01:00:37,500
[Vic] Never one to shy away
from mocking a legendary Hall of Famer.

1038
01:00:39,068 --> 01:00:41,404
-[Book] This kid's a showman.
-[Vic] Waller-- No.

1039
01:00:41,471 --> 01:00:43,706
-[Book] He's a showman.
-[Vic] Book, come on.

1040
01:00:43,773 --> 01:00:47,410
-[Book] He's a showman.
-[Vic] Looking for a Tombstone.

1041
01:00:47,477 --> 01:00:49,779
[Book] Not good for Waller. Whoa!

1042
01:00:49,846 --> 01:00:51,814
[cheers and applause]

1043
01:00:51,881 --> 01:00:54,550
[Vic] And Crews with quite the counter.

1044
01:00:54,617 --> 01:00:57,020
And, Book, both men down.

1045
01:00:57,086 --> 01:00:59,455
So much taken out of
both these competitors.

1046
01:00:59,522 --> 01:01:01,157
Both these superstars.

1047
01:01:01,224 --> 01:01:05,361
Let's not forget, Crews already
went through one casket tonight.

1048
01:01:05,428 --> 01:01:07,697
[Book] I like Waller
and everything about this kid.

1049
01:01:07,764 --> 01:01:10,600
-I like the showboating, but sometimes--
-[Vic] He's in!

1050
01:01:10,667 --> 01:01:13,069
-[Book] Here we go.
-[Vic] Waller's in the casket.

1051
01:01:13,803 --> 01:01:15,038
Fingertips!

1052
01:01:15,204 --> 01:01:18,408
Trying to push his way free
and able to overpower Crews,

1053
01:01:18,474 --> 01:01:20,810
and not many have said that,
and what a right hand.

1054
01:01:20,877 --> 01:01:25,982
And once again getting out of dodge
is Waller who goes up.

1055
01:01:27,383 --> 01:01:28,484
Oh!

1056
01:01:28,551 --> 01:01:30,720
[Book] Beautiful back elbow
right there by Waller.

1057
01:01:30,787 --> 01:01:33,256
Something's about to happen right here,
and I don't think

1058
01:01:33,322 --> 01:01:34,891
it's going to be good for Apollo.

1059
01:01:35,958 --> 01:01:38,561
[Vic] Crews trying to fight
his way free. Certainly does.

1060
01:01:40,797 --> 01:01:45,368
And both men-- Whoa!
We said it would be with authority.

1061
01:01:45,435 --> 01:01:48,237
Waller is in the casket.
Crews reaching out.

1062
01:01:48,304 --> 01:01:51,507
-Crews closes the lid.
-[bell rings]

1063
01:01:51,574 --> 01:01:53,676
-[music starts]
-[crowd cheers]

1064
01:01:53,743 --> 01:01:57,714
[Alicia] Here is your winner,
Apollo Crews.

1065
01:01:59,916 --> 01:02:03,786
[Vic] Book, you said it was must win
for Apollo Crews tonight.

1066
01:02:03,853 --> 01:02:05,254
He answered the call.

1067
01:02:05,321 --> 01:02:11,527
He withstood the test, and in the end,
he is the one with his hand raised.

1068
01:02:11,594 --> 01:02:12,495
[Book] Yes, indeed.

1069
01:02:12,562 --> 01:02:15,998
I say it, this man right here
had to go out and win it,

1070
01:02:16,065 --> 01:02:21,037
but Apollo said it earlier,
time waits for no man.

1071
01:02:21,104 --> 01:02:22,972
We gots to get it done.

1072
01:02:23,039 --> 01:02:24,107
Let's go.

1073
01:02:25,241 --> 01:02:26,309
[Vic] Let's go back.

1074
01:02:26,375 --> 01:02:29,779
This is a point in the match up,
Crews went through the coffin.

1075
01:02:29,846 --> 01:02:31,147
I have to reiterate.

1076
01:02:31,214 --> 01:02:35,418
You have to put your opponent in the lid
and shut the casket lid.

1077
01:02:36,419 --> 01:02:38,187
Waller thought he was the winner.

1078
01:02:38,254 --> 01:02:42,792
Uh-uh. Apollo Crews had
something else in mind, as those druids

1079
01:02:42,859 --> 01:02:47,096
would bring out a second casket,
a bigger casket, a sturdier casket.

1080
01:02:47,163 --> 01:02:50,967
You talk about sturdy,
as strong as they come.

1081
01:02:51,033 --> 01:02:55,338
Apollo Crews able to start
to turn this match around,

1082
01:02:55,404 --> 01:02:58,808
but for a moment,
Grayson Waller had the advantage back.

1083
01:02:58,875 --> 01:03:01,544
The momentum had swung into this favor.

1084
01:03:01,611 --> 01:03:04,814
Both men were going back
and forth, but in the end, bam,

1085
01:03:04,881 --> 01:03:08,751
it would be Apollo Crews
who would plant Grayson Waller

1086
01:03:08,818 --> 01:03:13,756
in his final resting spot
here at Halloween Havoc.

1087
01:03:13,823 --> 01:03:18,227
And now with the Waller effect
put to rest and left in the dark,

1088
01:03:19,629 --> 01:03:24,901
can Apollo Crews
now focus his vision elsewhere in NXT?

1089
01:03:24,967 --> 01:03:29,372
-[music plays]
-[crowd cheers]

1090
01:03:29,438 --> 01:03:33,376
-[school music starts]

1091
01:03:33,442 --> 01:03:36,779
Students, thank you for sending in
your history of Halloween Havoc homework.

1092
01:03:36,846 --> 01:03:38,281
I'm very pleased by a few of you.

1093
01:03:38,814 --> 01:03:45,488
Danielle, Chris, Rachel, but I'll say,
some of you were the drizzling [bleep].

1094
01:03:45,988 --> 01:03:49,258
How do you not know
the location of Halloween Havoc 1995?

1095
01:03:49,759 --> 01:03:52,128
Duhaime, you're [bleep] better than that.

1096
01:03:54,263 --> 01:03:57,300
I just get so angry
because I know how bright you are,

1097
01:03:57,366 --> 01:03:59,101
and I want you all to succeed.

1098
01:03:59,836 --> 01:04:01,671
I should have cover this
at the beginning of class,

1099
01:04:02,038 --> 01:04:06,275
but we have a new transfer student to
Andre Chase University, Duke Hudson.

1100
01:04:06,342 --> 01:04:08,611
[crowd cheers]

1101
01:04:08,678 --> 01:04:12,048
Mr. Chase, how did he get in?
I hate transfer students.

1102
01:04:12,114 --> 01:04:13,783
Bodhi, we have to give Duke a chance.

1103
01:04:14,217 --> 01:04:16,519
But, Duke, I will say,
I'm going to be watching you.

1104
01:04:16,852 --> 01:04:18,921
Oh, I totally understand, Mr. Chase.

1105
01:04:18,988 --> 01:04:21,490
but I'm very excited to be here,
and I want you to know

1106
01:04:21,557 --> 01:04:22,925
that I'm here to learn from you.

1107
01:04:22,992 --> 01:04:25,761
I'm very excited to get to know
each and every one of you.

1108
01:04:26,395 --> 01:04:28,865
Thank you, Duke,
but we're almost out of time.

1109
01:04:28,931 --> 01:04:30,933
Now the bonus question
for 10 extra points.

1110
01:04:31,467 --> 01:04:35,738
Halloween Havoc 1996,
the Outsiders beat which team

1111
01:04:35,805 --> 01:04:36,939
to win the tag team titles?

1112
01:04:37,006 --> 01:04:38,341
The Nasty Boys, Mr. Chase.

1113
01:04:38,407 --> 01:04:39,976
-I'm sorry, Bodhi that's--
-Sorry! Sorry!

1114
01:04:40,042 --> 01:04:41,177
It was the Steiners.

1115
01:04:41,244 --> 01:04:43,079
That's not right either. Anybody else?

1116
01:04:45,715 --> 01:04:46,582
Duke?

1117
01:04:47,250 --> 01:04:50,920
Yes, I believe it was Booker T
and Stevie Ray of the Harlem Heat.

1118
01:04:50,987 --> 01:04:53,956
Duke, that is correct,
and that was a very historic moment

1119
01:04:54,023 --> 01:04:55,091
at Halloween Havoc history.

1120
01:04:55,157 --> 01:04:57,827
The Outsiders winning
their first world tag team championships.

1121
01:04:57,894 --> 01:05:00,129
[school bell rings]

1122
01:05:00,196 --> 01:05:02,098
Thank you, class. Class dismissed.

1123
01:05:02,164 --> 01:05:07,703
[crowd chatters]

1124
01:05:09,372 --> 01:05:12,208
Mr. Chase, I do not trust Duke.

1125
01:05:12,275 --> 01:05:14,543
Neither do I, Bodhi,
but you got to do better in class.

1126
01:05:15,278 --> 01:05:18,281
You're right, Mr. Chase.
I'll be more prepared on Tuesday.

1127
01:05:18,481 --> 01:05:19,882
Thank you.

1128
01:05:26,088 --> 01:05:28,824
[man] "The All mighty" Bobby Lashley
is number one.

1129
01:05:28,891 --> 01:05:32,228
[man 2] He is indeed
something beyond human.

1130
01:05:32,628 --> 01:05:34,363
[man 3] Supreme dominance!

1131
01:05:35,865 --> 01:05:38,968
[man 4] One of the most impressive
athletes we've ever seen in WWE.

1132
01:05:39,035 --> 01:05:45,107
[Bobby] I will destroy everybody else
and reign supreme because right now

1133
01:05:45,708 --> 01:05:49,946
is the All-Mighty Era.

1134
01:05:50,279 --> 01:05:52,648
I started wrestling
when I was in the seventh grade.

1135
01:05:52,715 --> 01:05:54,450
I was like a little workhorse kid.

1136
01:05:54,784 --> 01:05:56,452
When I got to college, it was on.

1137
01:05:57,186 --> 01:05:59,322
I used to always use
working out as my outlet.

1138
01:05:59,388 --> 01:06:02,758
I took fourth as a freshmen,
and then I won nationals my sophomore,

1139
01:06:02,825 --> 01:06:04,226
and junior, and senior year.

1140
01:06:04,293 --> 01:06:07,730
[announcer] Three-time champion,
Bobby Lashley!

1141
01:06:07,797 --> 01:06:09,298
[cheers and applause]

1142
01:06:09,365 --> 01:06:12,868
[Bobby] After I graduated college,
the army coach actually called me.

1143
01:06:12,935 --> 01:06:15,438
He asked me if I'd be interested
in coming on in the team.

1144
01:06:15,504 --> 01:06:18,441
And then from that point on,
I was wrestling for the army team.

1145
01:06:18,507 --> 01:06:20,209
I went on forces a few times

1146
01:06:20,276 --> 01:06:22,278
and then I went onto
the military world championships

1147
01:06:22,345 --> 01:06:23,746
where I won the silver medal.

1148
01:06:23,813 --> 01:06:25,414
Wrestling really took off for me there.

1149
01:06:25,915 --> 01:06:28,517
I knew WWE was where I was meant to be.

1150
01:06:29,618 --> 01:06:32,555
[announcer] One of the greatest athletes
to ever step into the ring.

1151
01:06:33,189 --> 01:06:37,626
Three-time national champion
amateur wrestler, four-time all-American.

1152
01:06:37,693 --> 01:06:40,129
Bobby Lashley is credible to the max.

1153
01:06:40,997 --> 01:06:45,368
Very humble man, but when Lashley
gets in this ring, he just hits hard.

1154
01:06:45,434 --> 01:06:51,207
[crowd cheers]

1155
01:07:01,317 --> 01:07:04,320
-[announcer] He got him!
-[announcer 2] Oh god! What just happened?

1156
01:07:04,387 --> 01:07:06,822
[announcer]
Lashley is the United States champion.

1157
01:07:09,225 --> 01:07:13,095
Lashley victorious
and the new ECW champion.

1158
01:07:13,496 --> 01:07:15,798
Some guys
when they come along just have it.

1159
01:07:15,865 --> 01:07:17,833
Lashley has it.

1160
01:07:18,801 --> 01:07:20,002
[crowd cheers]

1161
01:07:20,069 --> 01:07:24,573
[announcer] Please show the proper
amount of respect for your All Mighty.

1162
01:07:26,609 --> 01:07:31,347
[Bobby] This is my ring,
and I won't be disrespected.

1163
01:07:31,847 --> 01:07:37,186
[crowd cheers]

1164
01:07:37,253 --> 01:07:38,621
[announcer] Oh, my god!

1165
01:07:39,221 --> 01:07:45,327
No matter how bad you think you are,
you will never be All Mighty.

1166
01:07:46,629 --> 01:07:48,664
[music plays]

1167
01:07:48,731 --> 01:07:50,366
[announcer] The All-Mighty Era never ends.

1168
01:07:54,103 --> 01:07:58,574
[Vic] After what we saw earlier tonight,
this might be quite the ride

1169
01:07:58,641 --> 01:08:02,011
for Mandy Rose
as her NXT women's championship

1170
01:08:02,078 --> 01:08:05,014
hangs in the balance here
tonight at Halloween Havoc.

1171
01:08:05,080 --> 01:08:06,849
[music plays]

1172
01:08:06,916 --> 01:08:09,952
I'm now joined by
the NXT tag team champions, Pretty Deadly.

1173
01:08:10,019 --> 01:08:12,888
And guys, how confident are you
defending your titles on Tuesday

1174
01:08:12,955 --> 01:08:14,457
against Edris Enofe and Malik Blake?

1175
01:08:14,523 --> 01:08:18,194
Kenz, we're as tasty as ever,
and that means not a care in the world.

1176
01:08:18,260 --> 01:08:20,062
Those chaps want to shock the world.

1177
01:08:20,129 --> 01:08:22,298
The only shocking thing is
they're getting the time of day

1178
01:08:22,364 --> 01:08:24,533
with NXT's dandy highway men.

1179
01:08:24,600 --> 01:08:27,336
The perfect pair
with a full itinerary, but hey,

1180
01:08:27,403 --> 01:08:30,639
that comes with the territory of
being the greatest tag team in NXT.

1181
01:08:30,706 --> 01:08:33,142
McKenzie, please. Watch this.

1182
01:08:33,209 --> 01:08:34,844
[both] Side plate check!

1183
01:08:34,910 --> 01:08:36,645
Okay, okay, okay.

1184
01:08:36,712 --> 01:08:39,915
We get it. Typical Pretty Deadly,
more concerned with how they look

1185
01:08:39,982 --> 01:08:41,217
than keeping their titles.

1186
01:08:41,283 --> 01:08:43,819
You think you're
the greatest tag team in NXT?

1187
01:08:44,286 --> 01:08:47,890
-We say different.
-Give it a rest, all right, Chuckies?

1188
01:08:47,957 --> 01:08:51,994
The only thing we're worried about is what
outfit we're going to wear on Tuesday.

1189
01:08:52,061 --> 01:08:54,864
As for you two, well, break a leg.

1190
01:08:55,197 --> 01:08:56,499
Why don't you break a leg.

1191
01:08:56,565 --> 01:08:59,168
Yes, we'll see who walks out
on Tuesday with their titles.

1192
01:09:04,673 --> 01:09:05,941
[bell rings]

1193
01:09:06,008 --> 01:09:11,814
[Alicia] The following contest is
a weapon's wild match where anything goes.

1194
01:09:11,881 --> 01:09:15,484
The only way to win is
by pinfall or submission.

1195
01:09:17,887 --> 01:09:23,292
-[Cora Jade's music plays]
-[crowd cheers]

1196
01:09:26,362 --> 01:09:30,332
[Alicia] Introducing first, Cora Jade.

1197
01:09:30,399 --> 01:09:34,003
[crowd booing]

1198
01:09:37,706 --> 01:09:40,976
[Vic] Catch the epic conclusion
of the Halloween franchise

1199
01:09:41,043 --> 01:09:46,415
with Halloween Ends in theaters
and streaming only on Peacock.

1200
01:09:46,682 --> 01:09:49,652
This is the weapon's wild match,
and there is a woman

1201
01:09:49,718 --> 01:09:54,590
who certainly has ushered in
a new and darker generation of Jade.

1202
01:09:54,657 --> 01:09:58,060
[Book] Yes, she has.
I was talking to my son [indistinct]

1203
01:09:58,127 --> 01:09:59,862
about these young people today.

1204
01:10:00,462 --> 01:10:03,933
He's only 12 years old.
He said, "Dad, it's the Generation Z.

1205
01:10:03,999 --> 01:10:06,602
You know?
There's nothing you can do about it.

1206
01:10:06,669 --> 01:10:10,105
These young people are
just trying to make up their own rules,

1207
01:10:10,172 --> 01:10:12,341
and I get it, I understand it.

1208
01:10:12,408 --> 01:10:15,844
You know, the one thing
you can't teach is being young.

1209
01:10:15,911 --> 01:10:20,683
-[Roxanne Perez's music plays]
-[crowd cheers]

1210
01:10:20,749 --> 01:10:24,753
[Alicia] And her opponent, Roxanne Perez.

1211
01:10:24,820 --> 01:10:27,690
[Vic] When you talk about youth,
there is Roxanne Perez

1212
01:10:27,756 --> 01:10:31,760
that some had called a protege,
and look, go back to NXT Heatwave, Book.

1213
01:10:31,827 --> 01:10:34,797
Perez couldn't find
that killer instinct that was needed

1214
01:10:34,863 --> 01:10:38,500
to beat Cora Jade that night,
to hit Cora Jade that evening.

1215
01:10:38,567 --> 01:10:42,338
She has promised there will be
no hesitation here tonight,

1216
01:10:42,404 --> 01:10:48,277
and there is that skateboard
which really was the first time we saw

1217
01:10:48,344 --> 01:10:51,880
this nasty side of Jade
when she broke the skateboard

1218
01:10:51,947 --> 01:10:54,116
across the back of Perez.

1219
01:10:54,183 --> 01:10:56,919
Is that, however, what you
needed to hear, Book, to know that

1220
01:10:56,986 --> 01:10:58,587
Perez is laser-focused?

1221
01:10:58,654 --> 01:11:02,858
[Book] I think so, right now,
Roxanne Perez, she has all the tools

1222
01:11:02,925 --> 01:11:06,562
to win this match up tonight,
but I say, we talk about that one match

1223
01:11:06,629 --> 01:11:11,100
just a couple of months ago,
Roxanne was in total control

1224
01:11:11,166 --> 01:11:13,502
until that kendo stick came out.

1225
01:11:13,569 --> 01:11:17,606
The one thing you cannot do
in this business is hesitate.

1226
01:11:17,673 --> 01:11:19,942
You got to pull the trigger, man.

1227
01:11:20,242 --> 01:11:22,244
-[Vic] Whoa!
-[Book] Like that!

1228
01:11:22,311 --> 01:11:25,614
[Vic] Well, the trigger pulled,
and now Perez swinging for the fences,

1229
01:11:26,015 --> 01:11:29,151
and Jade wisely ready to run
for the hills here.

1230
01:11:29,218 --> 01:11:33,756
And again, everything is legal,
weapons wild and I'm almost stunned

1231
01:11:33,822 --> 01:11:38,794
because Perez is just stalking Cora Jade.

1232
01:11:38,861 --> 01:11:41,363
[crowd chatters]

1233
01:11:41,430 --> 01:11:45,067
[Book] We were just talking about
an eye for an eye a minute ago.

1234
01:11:45,134 --> 01:11:47,736
This right here is payback, man.

1235
01:11:47,803 --> 01:11:50,272
-[Vic] Did you call that a receipt?
-[Book] Indeed.

1236
01:11:51,206 --> 01:11:54,143
[Vic] And Perez has been waiting
for this moment, and I got to ask,

1237
01:11:54,209 --> 01:11:57,413
we talk about this whole rivalry
between these former friends,

1238
01:11:57,479 --> 01:12:00,449
bitter enemies as now
looking to break that skateboard,

1239
01:12:00,516 --> 01:12:03,218
and Jade able to save herself
for a moment.

1240
01:12:03,285 --> 01:12:06,922
And we've seen this before,
Book, will we see it again?

1241
01:12:06,989 --> 01:12:10,693
No, this time
Perez able to stay a step ahead of Jade.

1242
01:12:10,759 --> 01:12:13,195
What went through your mind
when Jade tossed

1243
01:12:13,262 --> 01:12:15,998
the NXT women's tag team titles
in the garbage?

1244
01:12:16,065 --> 01:12:20,569
[Book] Honestly, what I thought about
immediately it took me back to 1995,

1245
01:12:20,636 --> 01:12:26,475
Monday Night Raw, when Medusa threw
the WWE women's title in the trash.

1246
01:12:26,542 --> 01:12:30,612
Let me tell you something,
Medusa said that was the worst moment

1247
01:12:30,679 --> 01:12:32,548
of her life looking back at it.

1248
01:12:32,981 --> 01:12:35,851
[Vic] Right now this could be
the best moment in the career,

1249
01:12:35,918 --> 01:12:38,253
the young career of Roxanne Perez.

1250
01:12:38,320 --> 01:12:40,522
And you take a look this whole issue…

1251
01:12:40,589 --> 01:12:42,891
[crowd] Roxy! Roxy! Roxt!

1252
01:12:42,958 --> 01:12:45,461
[Vic] …between these two,
Perez, what has she done wrong?

1253
01:12:45,527 --> 01:12:49,164
She won the Breakout Tournament,
she helped Jade win the tag team titles,

1254
01:12:49,231 --> 01:12:52,034
she executed her contract
which was her right.

1255
01:12:52,101 --> 01:12:55,437
What did she do wrong, Booker,
to draw the iron of Cora Jade?

1256
01:12:55,504 --> 01:12:59,241
[Book] Let me tell you something, man,
it's all about having friends,

1257
01:12:59,308 --> 01:13:00,609
buddies, pals.

1258
01:13:00,676 --> 01:13:04,279
I've talked to Roxanne about that,
when you try to move up,

1259
01:13:04,346 --> 01:13:06,682
they're going try to pull you back down.

1260
01:13:06,749 --> 01:13:09,785
So I'm going to tell you right now,
you got to keep your eye on the prize.

1261
01:13:09,852 --> 01:13:11,787
[Vic] Right now,
she's trying to keep her eyes on Perez.

1262
01:13:13,655 --> 01:13:17,326
Perez trying to keep her eye on Jade.
Finally found her, though.

1263
01:13:17,393 --> 01:13:21,764
There's nowhere for Cora Jade to run
and hide as Jade-- Oh.

1264
01:13:22,531 --> 01:13:23,899
What the hell was that?

1265
01:13:24,533 --> 01:13:26,034
Was that bug spray?

1266
01:13:26,435 --> 01:13:27,770
Spray paint? What was that?

1267
01:13:27,836 --> 01:13:29,838
[Book] It was effective,
that's what it was.

1268
01:13:29,905 --> 01:13:33,041
Right now, Cora Jade,
she's going to pull out all the stops

1269
01:13:33,108 --> 01:13:36,678
to get a win tonight because she knows
the gravity of this match,

1270
01:13:36,745 --> 01:13:40,649
she knows she needs to beat Roxanne Perez
in order to move up the ladder.

1271
01:13:43,018 --> 01:13:44,420
Oh, man!

1272
01:13:44,486 --> 01:13:45,654
[crowd cheers]

1273
01:13:45,721 --> 01:13:49,958
[Vic] Jade said she can't drown her demons
because they know how to swim.

1274
01:13:50,025 --> 01:13:54,730
And you talk about Jade's mindset,
she takes pride, and we just saw it

1275
01:13:54,797 --> 01:13:57,966
moments ago in being just an evil genius.

1276
01:13:58,033 --> 01:14:02,571
[Book] You don't just come out
like that, you're taught this.

1277
01:14:02,638 --> 01:14:06,275
This is what Cora Jade come--
I think it was freelance wrestling

1278
01:14:06,341 --> 01:14:10,379
where I think she got her start where
it's just a bunch of mayhem and chaos.

1279
01:14:10,446 --> 01:14:13,549
Let me tell you something,
Roxanne didn't learn like that

1280
01:14:13,615 --> 01:14:17,519
in reality of wrestling,
but trust me, she can go there.

1281
01:14:17,986 --> 01:14:20,556
[Vic] Halloween Havoc
still trending number one

1282
01:14:20,622 --> 01:14:24,460
in the United States because of
what we have witnessed here tonight.

1283
01:14:24,526 --> 01:14:27,062
It's been mayhem,
it's been demolition derby,

1284
01:14:27,129 --> 01:14:31,533
it's been nothing but all-out chaos
since the very beginning.

1285
01:14:31,600 --> 01:14:34,770
And chaos, book, probably a good word
to describe this match

1286
01:14:34,837 --> 01:14:37,539
because I'm looking around
and there are weapons everywhere.

1287
01:14:37,606 --> 01:14:42,377
[Book] It's chaos, madness,
mayhem, destruction, all of that.

1288
01:14:42,544 --> 01:14:44,279
[Vic] You're a dictionary almost, man.

1289
01:14:44,346 --> 01:14:46,315
You got all sorts of words
at your disposal,

1290
01:14:46,381 --> 01:14:50,886
but right now
at the disposal of Jade, a pile of steel

1291
01:14:51,386 --> 01:14:55,290
and that is a look of desperation
in the eyes of Perez.

1292
01:14:55,357 --> 01:14:57,159
[Book] I don't like that look
right there at all.

1293
01:14:57,226 --> 01:14:58,360
[Vic] Perez's fingers are caught.

1294
01:14:58,427 --> 01:15:00,395
[Book] I don't like that look right there.

1295
01:15:00,462 --> 01:15:02,731
Perez is in a bad, bad way.

1296
01:15:02,931 --> 01:15:05,367
[Vic] It's all legal and now look at Jade.

1297
01:15:05,434 --> 01:15:07,636
[cheers and applause]

1298
01:15:07,703 --> 01:15:10,105
[Vic] I don't know if you just heard her,
she said, "Where's the stick?"

1299
01:15:10,172 --> 01:15:13,275
She wants to continue to destroy
her former friend.

1300
01:15:13,342 --> 01:15:14,176
[Book] Man!

1301
01:15:14,243 --> 01:15:17,212
[Vic] And jealousy
not a good shade on Jade.

1302
01:15:17,279 --> 01:15:20,349
[Book] Jealousy runs deep in this
business, that's why I always talk about

1303
01:15:20,415 --> 01:15:25,354
you can't have too many friends
close to you, you got to be tolerated,

1304
01:15:25,420 --> 01:15:30,359
you got to be laser-focused and right now
Roxanne Perez is definitely not that.

1305
01:15:31,159 --> 01:15:36,398
[Book] Adrian, our officials
on hand here in this match up

1306
01:15:37,699 --> 01:15:39,501
doing such a good job here tonight

1307
01:15:40,068 --> 01:15:43,405
because that was a nasty landing by Perez.

1308
01:15:43,472 --> 01:15:45,173
And first, this is what happened.

1309
01:15:45,240 --> 01:15:48,911
Jade all the way down,
all that pressure just stomping,

1310
01:15:48,977 --> 01:15:51,747
and then a little extra insult
to injury, so to speak.

1311
01:15:51,813 --> 01:15:54,616
[Book] Yes, I'm looking for Roxanne to
just start thinking about

1312
01:15:54,683 --> 01:15:56,652
what she needs to do
and that's just fight.

1313
01:15:56,718 --> 01:15:59,421
You can't think about a wrestling match
or anything like that,

1314
01:15:59,488 --> 01:16:01,924
you can't think about
it being technical or anything,

1315
01:16:01,990 --> 01:16:05,928
you just got to bring the noise
and take it to the streets, man.

1316
01:16:05,994 --> 01:16:09,331
-[they groan]
-[crowd chatters]

1317
01:16:12,167 --> 01:16:16,104
-[Roxanne groans]
-[crowd chatters]

1318
01:16:17,339 --> 01:16:20,976
[indistinct]

1319
01:16:21,910 --> 01:16:23,512
[Vic] There's that jealousy, Book.

1320
01:16:24,179 --> 01:16:27,449
There's that jealousy
and it's sad to see two friends split

1321
01:16:27,516 --> 01:16:30,552
because of one's jealousy,
not to mention greed.

1322
01:16:30,619 --> 01:16:37,326
[Book] It is, it truly is, and when I see
Cora Jade she's got that mean girl

1323
01:16:37,392 --> 01:16:39,094
written all over her.

1324
01:16:39,161 --> 01:16:43,365
Wanting to be that one bad hottie
and nobody else can be that.

1325
01:16:43,432 --> 01:16:45,267
That's what this is all about.

1326
01:16:45,334 --> 01:16:48,403
[indistinct]

1327
01:16:48,804 --> 01:16:49,905
[Vic] Watch out!

1328
01:16:51,406 --> 01:16:55,143
That could have been the end of Perez,
and Perez answering right back.

1329
01:16:55,210 --> 01:16:57,879
And this is, Book,
that fight that you were talking about.

1330
01:16:59,114 --> 01:17:01,984
This is where she had to go,
she's got to get nasty,

1331
01:17:02,050 --> 01:17:05,053
she's got to get mean,
she's got to find that killer instinct

1332
01:17:05,120 --> 01:17:06,355
does Roxanne Perez.

1333
01:17:06,421 --> 01:17:09,524
[Book] There it is, I was looking for that
word right there, that killer instinct.

1334
01:17:09,591 --> 01:17:12,327
That's what she's going to
have to bring in a fight like this,

1335
01:17:12,394 --> 01:17:14,162
but Cora Jade,
she's letting it all hang out.

1336
01:17:14,229 --> 01:17:15,564
Whoa!

1337
01:17:15,630 --> 01:17:17,666
[crowd cheers]

1338
01:17:17,733 --> 01:17:21,837
[Vic] And is it now the moment
for Perez to turn things around.

1339
01:17:21,903 --> 01:17:23,271
And she can remember,

1340
01:17:23,338 --> 01:17:26,174
everything that has happened
over the last several months

1341
01:17:26,241 --> 01:17:28,343
because of one Cora Jade.

1342
01:17:28,410 --> 01:17:31,780
She lost her opportunity at the women's
championship because of Jade.

1343
01:17:31,847 --> 01:17:35,450
Her best friend stabbed her in the back,
she needs to let all that anger,

1344
01:17:35,517 --> 01:17:37,719
all that frustration, all that rage,

1345
01:17:37,786 --> 01:17:39,321
Book, she's got to let it out now.

1346
01:17:39,388 --> 01:17:42,824
[Book] Yeah, I agree, I mean right there
she just picked that trashcan lid on her,

1347
01:17:42,891 --> 01:17:43,992
but she only did it once.

1348
01:17:44,059 --> 01:17:48,497
That should have been a 10-count, man,
that should have been a 10-- [chuckles]

1349
01:17:48,563 --> 01:17:51,867
You thought you was at Chick-fil-A,
it would have been a 10 piece.

1350
01:17:52,501 --> 01:17:55,370
[Vic] Well, she's looking for a two-piece
and a biscuit at this point.

1351
01:17:55,437 --> 01:18:00,342
Perez continuing to bring it
and she said no hesitation tonight.

1352
01:18:00,409 --> 01:18:03,078
And you can see
it's a different look in Perez's eyes,

1353
01:18:03,145 --> 01:18:06,148
she's not stopping,
she's not thinking, she's just doing.

1354
01:18:06,214 --> 01:18:10,619
[Book] Yeah, but that little small bit of
hesitation is still rolling through,

1355
01:18:10,686 --> 01:18:13,622
those little, bitty smiles
in between that is what's worrying me.

1356
01:18:13,688 --> 01:18:16,558
We talk about that killer instinct.
We need all of that.

1357
01:18:16,625 --> 01:18:19,995
[Vic] We're seeing it now,
and how good must it feel for Perez.

1358
01:18:21,263 --> 01:18:23,699
Swinging for the fences,
so to speak, Book.

1359
01:18:23,765 --> 01:18:26,101
[Book] There we go right here,
this could be it right here.

1360
01:18:26,168 --> 01:18:27,803
Taken to the woodshed.

1361
01:18:28,336 --> 01:18:31,773
[Vic] Perez into the cover.
Will it be enough?

1362
01:18:31,840 --> 01:18:35,444
And Jade, credit where credit is due,
still showing fight.

1363
01:18:35,510 --> 01:18:39,448
[Book] Tough customer in Cora Jade,
she's no quitter by any means.

1364
01:18:39,781 --> 01:18:44,086
[Vic] This is that side of Perez
we talked about this past Tuesday,

1365
01:18:44,152 --> 01:18:45,420
would we see it tonight?

1366
01:18:45,487 --> 01:18:49,591
You've mentioned it a few times already,
Perez is starting to put it together.

1367
01:18:49,658 --> 01:18:54,896
I think she's learning to harness
her emotions to destroy Cora Jade

1368
01:18:54,963 --> 01:18:58,133
and could be looking for some Pop Rocks
and Jade had it scouted.

1369
01:18:58,834 --> 01:19:01,636
You know, these two
know each other so very well.

1370
01:19:01,703 --> 01:19:06,074
Jade sensed it, and was able to counter
and you saw almost that whiplash effect

1371
01:19:06,141 --> 01:19:07,008
for Perez.

1372
01:19:07,075 --> 01:19:09,911
[Book] Let me tell you something,
Cora is not going to quit anytime soon.

1373
01:19:09,978 --> 01:19:14,583
because she knows exactly what this thing
is all about and how big this match up is.

1374
01:19:14,649 --> 01:19:16,318
[Vic] Into the cover. Is Perez out?

1375
01:19:16,384 --> 01:19:19,788
And able to continue to fight is Perez.

1376
01:19:19,855 --> 01:19:21,323
[crowd cheers]

1377
01:19:21,389 --> 01:19:25,093
[Book] Look at Jade, just the look on
her face you could tell she enjoys this

1378
01:19:25,160 --> 01:19:27,262
from a certain degree.

1379
01:19:27,329 --> 01:19:31,166
[crowd] Cora! Cora! Cora!

1380
01:19:31,233 --> 01:19:36,171
[Vic] Is Jade looking for that exclamation
point here at Halloween Havoc?

1381
01:19:36,238 --> 01:19:37,873
Whoa! Perez!

1382
01:19:39,541 --> 01:19:41,443
talk about finding a different gear,

1383
01:19:41,510 --> 01:19:45,781
Perez trying to find a different state
of mind throughout this match up,

1384
01:19:45,847 --> 01:19:47,415
throughout this entire conflict.

1385
01:19:47,883 --> 01:19:50,819
And now both women up top teetering.

1386
01:19:50,886 --> 01:19:52,087
[crowd] Roxy! Roxy!

1387
01:19:52,154 --> 01:19:53,488
[Vic] Something's got to give, Book.

1388
01:19:53,555 --> 01:19:56,158
[Book] We're in
a high-rent district right here, man,

1389
01:19:56,224 --> 01:19:58,994
this is like River Oaks Area.

1390
01:19:59,060 --> 01:20:00,562
Whoa! Beautiful.

1391
01:20:00,629 --> 01:20:02,831
[Vic] Perez wisely into the cover.

1392
01:20:02,898 --> 01:20:07,836
The count, and another near fall
and weapons are wild.

1393
01:20:07,903 --> 01:20:12,007
Now Jade again trying to run.
Where's Jade going?

1394
01:20:12,073 --> 01:20:14,142
-[Book] Jade's going for…
-[Vic] You can't run away.

1395
01:20:14,209 --> 01:20:16,611
[Book] …the hills, man.
She's trying to get up out of here, man.

1396
01:20:16,678 --> 01:20:21,183
[Vic] You can't run away.
Jade running through the NXT universe.

1397
01:20:21,249 --> 01:20:22,951
[they groan]

1398
01:20:23,018 --> 01:20:24,085
[Roxanne] No.

1399
01:20:24,152 --> 01:20:28,723
-[crowd chatters]
-[they groan]

1400
01:20:28,790 --> 01:20:31,359
-[Vic] Book, are you seeing this?
-[Book] Yes, I am.

1401
01:20:31,893 --> 01:20:36,364
I'm afraid of heights, so I don't like
the looks of this right here at all.

1402
01:20:36,431 --> 01:20:37,966
[Vic] You talked about
the high-rent district.

1403
01:20:38,033 --> 01:20:40,402
Again, anything goes,
no disqualifications.

1404
01:20:40,468 --> 01:20:41,837
Weapons are wild.

1405
01:20:41,903 --> 01:20:45,774
Pinfall or submission, though,
has to take place inside the ring.

1406
01:20:47,008 --> 01:20:48,610
[Book] Oh, no.

1407
01:20:48,677 --> 01:20:51,680
[Vic] We talk about evil intentions,
there's no give--

1408
01:20:51,746 --> 01:20:53,348
I've been up there,
there's no give to that.

1409
01:20:53,415 --> 01:20:58,453
[Book] Let me tell you something,
Cora Jade has an evil, evil streak.

1410
01:20:58,520 --> 01:21:00,188
[crowd chatters]

1411
01:21:00,255 --> 01:21:05,293
[Vic] Yes, certainly does,
and, well, what's on the mind of Ja--

1412
01:21:05,360 --> 01:21:10,832
[crowd cheers]

1413
01:21:12,400 --> 01:21:13,501
[Book] What the hell?

1414
01:21:13,568 --> 01:21:16,871
[crowd chatters]

1415
01:21:16,938 --> 01:21:19,241
[Cora] After everything I did to you.

1416
01:21:20,008 --> 01:21:22,477
After everything I did for you.

1417
01:21:22,878 --> 01:21:24,546
This is what you--

1418
01:21:26,181 --> 01:21:29,117
[Vic] Wait, both these women
need to think about this, Book.

1419
01:21:29,184 --> 01:21:31,820
[crowd cheers]

1420
01:21:31,887 --> 01:21:34,489
[Book] Too late to be thinking, man,
we're in it.

1421
01:21:34,556 --> 01:21:40,762
-[crowd cheers]
-[they groan]

1422
01:21:40,829 --> 01:21:47,035
[crowd chatters]

1423
01:21:47,102 --> 01:21:48,737
[Vic] Perez. Whoa!

1424
01:21:48,803 --> 01:21:52,807
[crowd cheers]

1425
01:21:52,874 --> 01:21:58,613
[crowd] Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit!

1426
01:21:58,680 --> 01:22:02,384
[crowd] Holy shit! Holy shit! Holy shit!

1427
01:22:06,454 --> 01:22:07,455
[Book] God.

1428
01:22:07,522 --> 01:22:10,759
[Vic] I can't get over what we just
witnessed. One more time, book.

1429
01:22:10,825 --> 01:22:13,295
-I mean, we talk about--
-[Book] Oh.

1430
01:22:13,361 --> 01:22:17,666
[Vic] We talk about
the disdain for another individual,

1431
01:22:17,732 --> 01:22:21,770
but what makes another superstar,
what makes another person

1432
01:22:21,836 --> 01:22:23,305
want to do this to another human?

1433
01:22:23,371 --> 01:22:27,208
[Book] This is serious.
I mean, wait a minute. Are they okay?

1434
01:22:27,275 --> 01:22:31,513
[Vic] Referee's there. Look,
Perez said she would not hesitate.

1435
01:22:31,579 --> 01:22:34,649
She had a momentary hesitation up there
and it almost cost her.

1436
01:22:34,716 --> 01:22:37,485
Now I don't know
how both these women are to their feet,

1437
01:22:37,552 --> 01:22:40,021
but what is it going to take
to keep the other one down?

1438
01:22:40,088 --> 01:22:42,190
[Book] No, that's what I'm talking about.

1439
01:22:42,257 --> 01:22:45,360
I mean, both want it just that bad.

1440
01:22:45,427 --> 01:22:50,065
I thought the referee should've perhaps
stopped this thing after a fall like that,

1441
01:22:50,131 --> 01:22:52,767
but we're still going, man.

1442
01:22:52,834 --> 01:22:54,936
This is Halloween Havoc.

1443
01:22:55,003 --> 01:22:59,207
[Vic] Referee's still in position
to check on both these superstars,

1444
01:22:59,274 --> 01:23:05,046
but they are willing to destroy
themselves to destroy to other,

1445
01:23:05,113 --> 01:23:08,249
that's how far
this has gotten between two people

1446
01:23:08,316 --> 01:23:10,285
that were considered best friends.

1447
01:23:10,819 --> 01:23:15,256
[Book] In the best of friends, man,
you normally have the best fights,

1448
01:23:15,323 --> 01:23:16,458
the best scraps.

1449
01:23:16,524 --> 01:23:18,693
[Cora] You were never my friend!

1450
01:23:20,462 --> 01:23:23,498
[Vic] Well, Jade making it clear,
"You were never my friend."

1451
01:23:23,565 --> 01:23:25,266
Perez trying to fight out.

1452
01:23:25,333 --> 01:23:26,368
[Book] Whoa!

1453
01:23:26,434 --> 01:23:28,136
[Vic] On the bed of steel goes Jade.

1454
01:23:28,203 --> 01:23:29,170
[she groans]

1455
01:23:29,237 --> 01:23:32,540
You were always my best friend.

1456
01:23:33,508 --> 01:23:37,645
[Vic] An with no hesitation
Perez looking for Pop Rocks.

1457
01:23:38,713 --> 01:23:40,415
Cover, count!

1458
01:23:45,320 --> 01:23:49,124
[announcer] Here is your winner,
Roxanne Perez.

1459
01:23:49,290 --> 01:23:51,893
[Vic] We talked about it earlier tonight
with Wes Lee

1460
01:23:51,960 --> 01:23:53,194
what it must feel

1461
01:23:53,795 --> 01:23:55,063
to win that gold.

1462
01:23:55,897 --> 01:24:00,301
I can only imagine what it feels right now
for Roxanne Perez

1463
01:24:00,368 --> 01:24:04,105
to put everything behind her
over the last several months.

1464
01:24:04,172 --> 01:24:06,941
[Booker] Yes, indeed.
Look at that smile right there.

1465
01:24:07,008 --> 01:24:08,309
I always tell Roxanne

1466
01:24:08,376 --> 01:24:10,745
"You got to be able to smile
in any situation."

1467
01:24:10,812 --> 01:24:12,147
So I get it.

1468
01:24:12,213 --> 01:24:15,417
My girl is on top of the game right now.

1469
01:24:15,483 --> 01:24:16,518
[Vic] You talk about on top.

1470
01:24:16,584 --> 01:24:20,588
We saw that momentary hesitation,
and for Perez, it almost cost her

1471
01:24:20,655 --> 01:24:24,459
as both women went falling
from high above the ring.

1472
01:24:24,526 --> 01:24:26,895
It was crash and burn,
but back in the ring…

1473
01:24:28,463 --> 01:24:31,966
You were never my friend.

1474
01:24:32,467 --> 01:24:36,071
[Vic] Jade made the boldest declaration,
but in the end,

1475
01:24:36,137 --> 01:24:39,908
Perez
was able to find that killer instinct

1476
01:24:40,875 --> 01:24:42,143
and connect on.

1477
01:24:42,210 --> 01:24:43,044
Bam.

1478
01:24:43,111 --> 01:24:44,813
A bit of pop rocks.

1479
01:24:45,080 --> 01:24:48,383
And let the party begin for the protegée,

1480
01:24:48,450 --> 01:24:51,786
let the party begin for Roxanne Perez.

1481
01:24:51,953 --> 01:24:54,456
[music]

1482
01:24:54,522 --> 01:24:57,225
[crowd cheers]

1483
01:25:02,163 --> 01:25:05,967
[female voice] Quiet on the set.
Can we please have quiet on the set?

1484
01:25:07,402 --> 01:25:09,204
I'm The Miz

1485
01:25:09,437 --> 01:25:14,142
and I'm awesome.

1486
01:25:14,909 --> 01:25:18,713
[Vic] Miz, the A-lister,
the Hollywood star around these parts.

1487
01:25:18,780 --> 01:25:21,616
[male voice] Rolling the red carpet out
for the A-lister.

1488
01:25:21,683 --> 01:25:23,351
[male voice] Please welcome The Miz.

1489
01:25:23,418 --> 01:25:24,919
[female voice] The Miz.

1490
01:25:25,520 --> 01:25:27,388
The biggest celebrity
is standing in front of you.

1491
01:25:27,455 --> 01:25:28,890
I have done everything.

1492
01:25:29,124 --> 01:25:30,825
I'm the star
of The Marine movie franchise.

1493
01:25:30,892 --> 01:25:34,996
I'm the star
of the sensational TV hit Miz And Mrs.

1494
01:25:35,063 --> 01:25:36,965
I'm the man who headlined Wrestle Mania.

1495
01:25:37,031 --> 01:25:43,071
I am the only two-time grand slam champion
in this company.

1496
01:25:43,138 --> 01:25:46,574
I look the part, I act the part,
I walk the part, I talk the part

1497
01:25:46,641 --> 01:25:49,544
because I am the part.

1498
01:25:51,846 --> 01:25:54,716
I came in to WWE as an outsider.

1499
01:25:54,782 --> 01:25:57,318
[female voice] The real world,
back to New York.

1500
01:25:57,385 --> 01:26:02,123
People just saw me a certain way
and that was a reality star.

1501
01:26:02,190 --> 01:26:04,993
[male] You're going to prove
that it's not just to be on TV.

1502
01:26:05,059 --> 01:26:06,995
-We're going to see, aren't we?
-Yes, sir.

1503
01:26:07,061 --> 01:26:10,298
No matter what I did,
I was rubbing people the wrong way.

1504
01:26:10,365 --> 01:26:12,400
[Vic] How about we book Paris Hilton?

1505
01:26:12,467 --> 01:26:14,936
Since we booked the freaking Miz.

1506
01:26:15,003 --> 01:26:18,006
Whether fans believe it,
whether the locker room believes it,

1507
01:26:18,072 --> 01:26:18,973
I believe it.

1508
01:26:19,040 --> 01:26:20,942
and I will make everyone believe it.

1509
01:26:21,109 --> 01:26:23,978
[music]

1510
01:26:24,045 --> 01:26:25,947
[Vic] Miz is the United States champion.

1511
01:26:26,014 --> 01:26:28,683
[male voice] Tag team champion.
Intercontinental champion.

1512
01:26:28,750 --> 01:26:30,985
Mr. Money in the Bank.

1513
01:26:31,052 --> 01:26:34,055
I'd rather you all
hate me for everything I am…

1514
01:26:34,122 --> 01:26:36,391
[Vic] Miz is cashing it
in on a vulnerable Orton.

1515
01:26:36,457 --> 01:26:37,659
Miz is champion.

1516
01:26:37,725 --> 01:26:39,694
Than love me for something I'm not.

1517
01:26:39,761 --> 01:26:46,734
[music]

1518
01:26:47,168 --> 01:26:51,239
When you don't get the respect
that you have earned, you take it.

1519
01:26:51,306 --> 01:26:53,641
This is my show. My show.

1520
01:26:53,708 --> 01:26:56,010
I'm going to keep taking it.

1521
01:26:58,713 --> 01:27:02,350
There's only room for one
in this spotlight

1522
01:27:02,817 --> 01:27:05,286
and it belongs to the A-lister.

1523
01:27:05,353 --> 01:27:08,223
Do you have any idea
of how important I am?

1524
01:27:08,289 --> 01:27:14,228
I am, was, and always will be
the greatest man in WWE

1525
01:27:14,295 --> 01:27:16,598
because I am a star

1526
01:27:16,664 --> 01:27:19,634
and the whole world will look at me

1527
01:27:19,701 --> 01:27:21,469
and simply say,

1528
01:27:22,870 --> 01:27:27,609
"Awesome".

[suspense music playing]

1531
01:27:57,272 --> 01:28:00,675
[Vic] We saw JD McDonagh
warming up earlier tonight,

1532
01:28:00,742 --> 01:28:03,645
and right now it is Ilja Dragunov

1533
01:28:03,711 --> 01:28:06,214
putting in some final few moments of work

1534
01:28:06,681 --> 01:28:09,817
here tonight
before the main event Triple Threat Match.

1535
01:28:09,884 --> 01:28:13,655
Book, who's going to be the NXT champion?

1536
01:28:14,122 --> 01:28:16,858
Come Saturday, December the 10th.

1537
01:28:16,924 --> 01:28:19,927
It's the final premium live event
of the year.

1538
01:28:19,994 --> 01:28:21,562
It's NXT Deadline.

1539
01:28:21,629 --> 01:28:23,364
I don't want you
to give me your prediction

1540
01:28:23,431 --> 01:28:26,100
because we still have so much more to
come here at Halloween Havoc,

1541
01:28:26,167 --> 01:28:30,905
but we're looking forward
to the final premium live event of 2022.

1547
01:28:47,822 --> 01:28:50,358
[Vic] Shotzi dressed up a bit.
She loves it.

1548
01:28:50,425 --> 01:28:52,326
Beetlejuice. The Joker.

1549
01:28:52,393 --> 01:28:55,596
What a host Shotzi is for Halloween Havoc.

1550
01:28:55,663 --> 01:29:00,201
[Booker] I love me Shotzi blackheart.

I told you Halloween Havoc

1554
01:29:07,709 --> 01:29:11,212
would be the most blood-curdling,

1555
01:29:11,646 --> 01:29:16,384
terrifying,
and horrific night of the year.

1556

[crowd clapping]

1558
01:29:20,254 --> 01:29:24,492
So far, we have had ladders

1559
01:29:24,792 --> 01:29:27,628
and caskets and a haunted house.

1560
01:29:27,695 --> 01:29:29,197
Oh, my…

1561
01:29:29,997 --> 01:29:36,571
We've seen two women
butcher the remnants of their friendship,

1562
01:29:36,938 --> 01:29:40,975
and there's still so much more to come.

1563

1564
01:29:44,145 --> 01:29:47,782

Quincy Elliott.

1569

[Vic] The super diva is here
to "quince" everyone's thirst.

1570
01:30:20,882 --> 01:30:23,384
[Booker] Quench your thirst,
not everyone, okay?

1571
01:30:23,451 --> 01:30:25,319
[Shotzi] Damn, Quincy.

1572

Hey.

1576
01:30:34,729 --> 01:30:38,299
I didn't realize
you had more than one costume.

1577
01:30:38,533 --> 01:30:42,203
You are the sweetest banana
I have ever seen.

[crowd cheering]

1579
01:30:45,440 --> 01:30:47,375
I'm glad you find this costume appealing.

1580

Everyone sees me, licks their lips

1581
01:30:51,078 --> 01:30:54,449

is the pitch of the bunch.

[Lash Legend] Uh-uh. No.

1585
01:31:06,360 --> 01:31:07,595
Absolutely not.

1586
01:31:07,995 --> 01:31:09,530
Cut the music.

1587

Cut the music.

1588
01:31:11,032 --> 01:31:11,966
Uh-uh.

1589
01:31:12,500 --> 01:31:13,835
I've seen enough

1590
01:31:13,901 --> 01:31:15,436
and it's already bad enough

1591
01:31:15,503 --> 01:31:18,606
they let this green goblin host this thing

1592
01:31:18,673 --> 01:31:20,441
instead of yours truly.

1593
01:31:20,508 --> 01:31:23,244
I'm the one and only
and you can't clone me.

1594
01:31:23,311 --> 01:31:24,812
[Quinzy] Lash.

1595
01:31:24,879 --> 01:31:28,316
I don't know if you noticed,
but Lashing Out was canceled a time ago.

[crowd screaming]

1597
01:31:30,485 --> 01:31:34,455
Lash, you're nowhere near as fabulous
as me and my co-host,

1598
01:31:34,522 --> 01:31:36,557
so you can take those little shoes

1599
01:31:36,624 --> 01:31:39,760
and skirt your ass
back to the locker room.

1600

1601
01:31:43,931 --> 01:31:44,799
Period.

1602

Now hold hell up, banana nut.

1603
01:31:48,402 --> 01:31:51,572
I've got a problem
with someone from Smack Down

1604

hosting this show

1605
01:31:52,974 --> 01:31:55,543
when there is a host like me right here

1606
01:31:55,610 --> 01:31:57,044
who would do it better

1607
01:31:57,979 --> 01:32:00,982
and fits better for the occasion.

1608
01:32:01,816 --> 01:32:03,518
[Quinzy] Lash.

1609
01:32:03,584 --> 01:32:05,686
You got so many great qualities, sweetie.

1610
01:32:05,753 --> 01:32:08,256
You're tall, athletic, explosive,

1611
01:32:08,322 --> 01:32:11,759
but Lash, hearing you in the microphone

1612
01:32:11,826 --> 01:32:15,096
it's way more horrifying
than anything that'll happen on Halloween.

01:35:07,168 --> 01:35:11,972
You see my greatness
and it eats you alive.

1663
01:35:14,141 --> 01:35:16,544
I don't steal opportunities,

1664
01:35:18,879 --> 01:35:21,182
I am the opportunity.

1665
01:35:22,283 --> 01:35:27,154
I and the most decorated woman
in the history of WWE.

1666
01:35:29,223 --> 01:35:31,225
Woo.

1667
01:35:36,797 --> 01:35:41,969
[suspense music playing]

1668
01:35:42,770 --> 01:35:46,140
It's not only on Halloween
that people wear masks,

1669
01:35:46,207 --> 01:35:48,776
they wear them all year long.

1670
01:35:49,577 --> 01:35:52,947
For months,
we have tried to cultivate peace

1671
01:35:53,247 --> 01:35:55,549
to help people remove their masks

1672
01:35:55,616 --> 01:35:57,551
and reveal their true selves

1673
01:35:57,618 --> 01:35:59,487
to achieve something greater

1674
01:35:59,553 --> 01:36:02,823
by joining us under the Schism's tree.

1675
01:36:03,090 --> 01:36:05,226
Instead of hearing our words,

1676
01:36:05,292 --> 01:36:08,162
they continue to spit in our faces.

1677
01:36:08,362 --> 01:36:11,432
Now, a message to this brand

1678
01:36:11,766 --> 01:36:13,567
won't be delivered by will,

1679
01:36:13,901 --> 01:36:15,336
but by force.

1680
01:36:16,771 --> 01:36:19,073
[Joe] You have opened your heart
to the Schism

1681
01:36:19,140 --> 01:36:21,575
and proven yourself worthy.

1682
01:36:21,642 --> 01:36:24,445
Are you ready to remove your mask?

1683
01:36:25,479 --> 01:36:27,047
Oh.

1684
01:36:27,114 --> 01:36:29,650
This Tuesday is your moment.

1685
01:36:29,717 --> 01:36:34,121
You will remove your mask
and breathe in the fresh air.

1686
01:36:34,188 --> 01:36:35,589
And together,

1687
01:36:35,656 --> 01:36:39,693
we will show the world
the full force of the Schism

1688
01:36:40,261 --> 01:36:45,099
for individuals
not afraid to be themselves,

1689
01:36:46,033 --> 01:36:50,871
not afraid of how society views us
while the rest of the world

1690
01:36:50,938 --> 01:36:54,608
hides behind their masks of wealth,
vanity, and lies.

1691
01:36:55,142 --> 01:36:59,980
It has become our job
to illuminate your mistakes.

1692
01:37:00,047 --> 01:37:02,917
Shine a light on your hypocrisy.

1693
01:37:03,217 --> 01:37:05,820
We tried the peaceful approach.

1694
01:37:06,320 --> 01:37:09,890
What happens next is your fault.

1695
01:37:09,957 --> 01:37:12,226
[suspense music playing]

1696
01:37:12,426 --> 01:37:15,296
Four roots, one tree.

1697
01:37:15,362 --> 01:37:19,133
[suspense music playing]

1698
01:37:19,200 --> 01:37:21,702
[Vic] Let's try to stay focused
on the here and now

1699
01:37:21,769 --> 01:37:24,638
because coming up in moments,
a highly anticipated match up.

1700
01:37:24,705 --> 01:37:26,774
Damon Kemp tried to destroy Diamond Mine.

1701
01:37:26,840 --> 01:37:28,943
Standing in his way is Julius Creed,

1702
01:37:29,210 --> 01:37:31,912
who tonight is fighting
for more than just himself

1703
01:37:31,979 --> 01:37:33,414
in this ambulance match.

1704
01:37:35,816 --> 01:37:39,153
[presenter] Diamond Mine was formed
in the summer of 2021.

1705
01:37:39,220 --> 01:37:41,188
It was a team
comprised of premier athletes

1706
01:37:41,255 --> 01:37:43,290
with a common goal of complete

1707
01:37:43,357 --> 01:37:45,125
and utter domination.

1708
01:37:45,893 --> 01:37:47,628
Roderick Strong was their leader.

1709
01:37:48,195 --> 01:37:49,663
Next up was Ivy Nile,

1710
01:37:50,898 --> 01:37:54,501
and finally, Julius and Brutus Creed.

1711
01:37:54,568 --> 01:37:57,371
Strong was the first
to bring gold to the Diamond Mine.

1712
01:37:57,438 --> 01:38:00,374
[announcer] New cruiser weight champion,

1713
01:38:00,441 --> 01:38:03,444
Roderick Strong.

1714
01:38:04,345 --> 01:38:07,181
Then the Creeds
would get their first taste of success.

1715
01:38:08,349 --> 01:38:11,752
[Vic] Creeds have won the Dusty Cup.

1716
01:38:11,819 --> 01:38:13,988
[presenter] Then Strong
would add what he thought

1717
01:38:14,054 --> 01:38:16,690
was the final piece of the puzzle,
Damon Kemp.

1718
01:38:16,757 --> 01:38:18,425
This guy.

1719
01:38:18,993 --> 01:38:21,495
This guy is going to make
you guys so much better.

1720
01:38:23,163 --> 01:38:25,733
[presenter] The Creeds
would then rise to a new level.

1721
01:38:25,799 --> 01:38:30,404
[announcer] New tag team champions,

1722
01:38:30,471 --> 01:38:34,441
The Creed Brothers.

1723
01:38:34,508 --> 01:38:36,744
[presenter] Then at the height of their
success,

1724
01:38:36,810 --> 01:38:39,680
Diamond Mine
was betrayed by one of their own.

1725
01:38:41,148 --> 01:38:47,187
[crosstalk]

1726
01:38:48,122 --> 01:38:51,759
When I destroyed Rody in the parking lot,
nobody thought it was me.

1727
01:38:52,126 --> 01:38:55,262
[soft music playing]

1728
01:38:58,332 --> 01:39:01,602
[male voice] The sound
of that steel chair meeting Julius' back

1729
01:39:01,669 --> 01:39:03,437
signaled an end of Diamond Mine.

1730
01:39:03,504 --> 01:39:05,306
[crowd screaming]

1731
01:39:05,372 --> 01:39:10,010
[male voice] That cost The Creed Brothers
the Tag Team titles.

1732
01:39:10,544 --> 01:39:14,648
[thrilling music playing]

1733
01:39:15,282 --> 01:39:17,685
I don't like to be cold-hearted,

1734
01:39:17,751 --> 01:39:21,889
but when the circumstance calls for it,
there is nobody colder than me.

1735
01:39:21,956 --> 01:39:24,992
You jumped Rody, you cost us the titles.

1736
01:39:25,059 --> 01:39:27,428
It's not going to be good enough
to pin you,

1737
01:39:27,494 --> 01:39:29,663
it's not going to be good enough
to submit you.

1738
01:39:29,730 --> 01:39:34,335
At Halloween Havoc,
it's you versus me in an Ambulance Match.

1739
01:39:34,401 --> 01:39:35,803
[sirens wail]

1740
01:39:35,869 --> 01:39:38,539
When I beat you,
your brother is gone from NXT.

1741
01:39:38,605 --> 01:39:40,140
He accepts.

1742
01:39:40,207 --> 01:39:44,078
[exciting music playing]

1743
01:39:46,180 --> 01:39:51,819
[exciting music playing]

1744
01:39:51,885 --> 01:39:53,654
This is an Ambulance Match,

1745
01:39:53,721 --> 01:39:56,357
where we have to shut the door
on the other one.

1746
01:39:56,423 --> 01:39:59,693
Maybe I'll just hit you in the back
ten times

1747
01:39:59,760 --> 01:40:01,328
like I did to your brother
a few weeks back.

1748
01:40:01,395 --> 01:40:03,931
You can use weapons,
which means I can use weapons too,

1749
01:40:03,998 --> 01:40:06,667
and I'm more vicious
and more violent than you.

1750
01:40:06,734 --> 01:40:11,338
[exciting music playing]

1751
01:40:11,405 --> 01:40:13,340
It's going to be the eradication
of a cancer

1752
01:40:13,407 --> 01:40:15,909
that's plagued me
for the last five months.

1753
01:40:15,976 --> 01:40:20,481
Julius, win.
Because it's Diamond Mine forever.

1754
01:40:20,547 --> 01:40:22,082
[laughs]

1755
01:40:22,149 --> 01:40:25,886
[Damon] It's not Diamond Mine forever.
It's Damon Kemp forever.

1756
01:40:27,354 --> 01:40:32,292
[exciting music playing]

1757
01:40:32,826 --> 01:40:35,295
[sirens wail]

1758
01:40:40,000 --> 01:40:41,802
[crowd cheering]

1759
01:40:49,343 --> 01:40:52,079
[sirens wail]

1760
01:40:52,413 --> 01:40:53,547
[bell rings]

1761
01:40:53,614 --> 01:40:56,984
[announcer] The following contest
is an Ambulance Match.

1762
01:40:57,050 --> 01:40:59,887
The first superstar
to put his opponent into the ambulance

1763
01:40:59,953 --> 01:41:02,856
and shut the doors
will be declared the winner.

1764
01:41:03,223 --> 01:41:07,027
If Julius Creed loses,
his brother Brutus Creed's career is over.

1765
01:41:07,194 --> 01:41:11,331
[Damon Kemp's music plays]

1766
01:41:11,398 --> 01:41:14,301
[announcer] Introducing first, Damon Kemp.

1767
01:41:15,102 --> 01:41:17,971
[Vic] Some mind games
are already being played.

1768
01:41:18,038 --> 01:41:24,478
Damon Kemp bringing the same chair
he used to bash Brutus Creed

1769
01:41:24,711 --> 01:41:29,216
over and over again just a few weeks ago.

1770
01:41:29,450 --> 01:41:31,151
[Booker laughs]

1771
01:41:31,218 --> 01:41:34,221
-[Vic] You love it?
-[Booker] I like this kid Kemp.

1772
01:41:34,455 --> 01:41:37,324
He's a monster.

1773
01:41:37,391 --> 01:41:40,627
I got a chance to meet him
back at Extreme Rules

1774
01:41:40,694 --> 01:41:45,699
and I looked at him and I said,
this kid right here is a beast.

1775
01:41:46,700 --> 01:41:49,369
I'm looking forward to this match up
right here tonight.

1776
01:41:49,803 --> 01:41:53,006
[Damon Kemp's music plays]

1777
01:41:53,240 --> 01:41:58,278
[Vic] Certainly a different look
and a different mindset in Damon Kemp.

1778
01:41:59,179 --> 01:42:02,349
The same could be said
for his opponent tonight.

1779
01:42:02,683 --> 01:42:07,888
[Diamond Mine's music playing]

1780
01:42:08,255 --> 01:42:14,995
[announcer] His opponent,
representing Diamond Mine, Julius Creed.

1781
01:42:16,096 --> 01:42:18,899
[Vic] Creed on rip just tossing pumpkins

1782
01:42:18,966 --> 01:42:20,767
in what we typically see… Oh.

1783
01:42:20,834 --> 01:42:23,470
We typically see Julius, and…

1784
01:42:23,637 --> 01:42:25,105
Whoa. Big dropkick off the top.

1785
01:42:25,973 --> 01:42:27,107
It's a different look.

1786
01:42:27,274 --> 01:42:28,775
He told me earlier tonight…

1787
01:42:28,842 --> 01:42:30,177
This isn't going to be a match.

1788
01:42:30,244 --> 01:42:32,279
This is going to be a fight.

1789
01:42:32,346 --> 01:42:34,014
[Booker] Indeed. This is another kid…

1790
01:42:34,081 --> 01:42:35,749
-[Vic] Got you.
-[Booker] I met him.

1791
01:42:35,816 --> 01:42:38,152
I saw him and I said, "This a big kid."

1792
01:42:38,218 --> 01:42:41,655
We don't need an ambulance tonight
for this match

1793
01:42:41,722 --> 01:42:44,958
because somebody's going to [indistinct].

1794
01:42:45,025 --> 01:42:47,661
[Vic] Kemp looking for that equalizer.
Swing and a miss.

1795
01:42:47,728 --> 01:42:51,732
Again, that's the same chair
that Kemp brutalized Brutus with,

1796
01:42:51,798 --> 01:42:53,133
and Julius knows it.

1797
01:42:53,200 --> 01:42:56,470
Julius has been waiting for this match up,
and I got to ask you something.

1798
01:42:56,637 --> 01:42:58,739
How would you feel
if you're walking into a match

1799
01:42:58,805 --> 01:43:01,808
knowing that your brother's career
was in your hands?

1800
01:43:01,875 --> 01:43:03,143
[Booker] That's one thing.

1801
01:43:03,210 --> 01:43:06,613
That's a lot of pressure right now
for Julius Creed,

1802
01:43:06,680 --> 01:43:09,850
but that might be the one thing
Julius needs to go out here

1803
01:43:09,917 --> 01:43:11,585
and get the job done tonight.

1804
01:43:11,652 --> 01:43:14,788
I'm going to tell you right now,
it's going to be an uphill battle

1805
01:43:14,855 --> 01:43:17,324
because Damon Kemp is no joke.

1806
01:43:17,391 --> 01:43:20,494
[Vic] We heard from ring announcer
Alicia Taylor earlier.

1807
01:43:21,161 --> 01:43:23,030
This isn't going to be settled
in the ring.

1808
01:43:23,096 --> 01:43:24,598
This isn't a one, two, three.

1809
01:43:24,665 --> 01:43:29,436
You got to get your opponent
inside the ambulance and shut the door,

1810
01:43:29,503 --> 01:43:31,805
and someone is going to be taking a ride.

1811
01:43:31,872 --> 01:43:34,208
There you see that ambulance
in the background.

1812
01:43:34,274 --> 01:43:36,677
[Booker] Indeed.
I like what Julius is doing.

1813
01:43:36,743 --> 01:43:39,546
He's staying with his strong suit
and that's wrestling.

1814
01:43:39,613 --> 01:43:42,816
I thought with both of these guys
being wrestlers,

1815
01:43:42,883 --> 01:43:44,518
it would cancel each other out.

1816
01:43:44,585 --> 01:43:46,887
Right now, look at this ambulance.

1817
01:43:46,954 --> 01:43:49,590
[Vic] Right now, so close,
and this could be it.

1818
01:43:49,656 --> 01:43:50,924
Kemp is inside.

1819
01:43:50,991 --> 01:43:52,693
Julius needs to shut the door.

1820
01:43:52,759 --> 01:43:54,361
This is…

1821
01:43:54,928 --> 01:43:56,763
Kemp's using a crutch.

1822
01:43:56,830 --> 01:44:00,133
Anything he can find inside that ambulance
and that's strategy.

1823
01:44:00,200 --> 01:44:02,836
You got to shut both doors.
That's the only way you can win.

1824
01:44:02,903 --> 01:44:06,273
[Booker] An effective strategy.
Right now, he tries to stay in the game.

1825
01:44:06,340 --> 01:44:08,175
That's what Kemp is doing right there,

1826
01:44:08,241 --> 01:44:11,878
and he's staying in the game
by any means necessary.

1827
01:44:11,945 --> 01:44:15,482
[Vic] Kemp is throwing everything he can
at Julius Creed right now.

1828
01:44:15,949 --> 01:44:17,851
You said the word pressure earlier.

1829
01:44:17,918 --> 01:44:19,586
Creed said pressure is a privilege.

1830
01:44:19,853 --> 01:44:22,656
He oozes confidence,
and he has some bottle nerves.

1831
01:44:22,723 --> 01:44:27,694
Now, both men with the same idea,
and this is turning into a slug fest.

1832
01:44:27,761 --> 01:44:29,096
[Booker] Yes, man.

1833
01:44:29,162 --> 01:44:32,099
You talk about confidence,
but no matter how confident you are,

1834
01:44:32,332 --> 01:44:33,533
you are still a man.

1835
01:44:33,600 --> 01:44:37,471
It only takes one mistake
and Brutus is out.

1836
01:44:37,537 --> 01:44:40,173
Out of this business, out of this company.

1837
01:44:40,240 --> 01:44:41,642
It's over.

1838
01:44:44,277 --> 01:44:48,982
[Vic] These two,
with a lot of hatred towards one another.

1839
01:44:49,783 --> 01:44:53,253
Julius wanting to cool off Damon Kemp.

1840
01:44:53,320 --> 01:44:56,089
[crowd cheering]

1841
01:44:56,156 --> 01:44:58,992
Walking with a purpose,
is Creed here tonight.

1842
01:44:59,059 --> 01:45:00,360
Look, both have great…

1843
01:45:00,427 --> 01:45:02,496
If you call me, I answer.
No voicemail here.

1844
01:45:03,764 --> 01:45:06,867
[Vic] Answers on the first ring.
Both got a great amateur background.

1845
01:45:06,933 --> 01:45:09,536
This is a little out of the box

1846
01:45:10,671 --> 01:45:12,205
for both these superstars.

1847
01:45:12,272 --> 01:45:13,273
What is it going to take?

1848
01:45:13,340 --> 01:45:16,209
Where does one
have to go to be victorious?

1849
01:45:16,276 --> 01:45:17,978
I don't want them to come near us.

1850
01:45:18,178 --> 01:45:21,048
[Booker] It's different tonight.
This is a match where…

1851
01:45:21,114 --> 01:45:23,517
-[Vic] Book.
-[Booker] Oh, no. My God.

1852
01:45:23,684 --> 01:45:28,488
[crowd screaming]

1853
01:45:29,389 --> 01:45:30,390
[Vic] Oh.

1854
01:45:30,457 --> 01:45:31,758
[Booker] There it is.

1855
01:45:31,825 --> 01:45:35,228
That's the beast
coming out in Damon Kemp right there.

1856
01:45:35,295 --> 01:45:38,865
That's what I was talking about.
This guy is no nonsense.

1857
01:45:38,932 --> 01:45:41,768
It's all about going out
and taking care of business.

1858
01:45:41,835 --> 01:45:43,370
He took care of the Diamond Mine.

1859
01:45:43,437 --> 01:45:45,372
There's only a few pieces left.

1860
01:45:45,806 --> 01:45:49,309
[Vic] Roderick Strong
is looking on somewhere.

1861
01:45:49,376 --> 01:45:51,712
He's getting better each and every day,

1862
01:45:52,145 --> 01:45:56,550
but I'm sure there's not a smile
on the face of Strong at this moment,

1863
01:45:56,616 --> 01:45:58,552
and what must Brutus be thinking?

1864
01:45:58,618 --> 01:45:59,920
Brutus…

1865
01:46:01,088 --> 01:46:02,789
Brutus looks on,

1866
01:46:02,856 --> 01:46:05,659
because if Damon Kemp's victorious,
Brutus is gone.

1867
01:46:05,726 --> 01:46:07,127
Let's remember that.

1868
01:46:07,194 --> 01:46:08,862
[Booker] Brutus is a cheerleader now.

1869
01:46:08,929 --> 01:46:10,630
Brutus is back in the back wondering…

1870
01:46:10,697 --> 01:46:14,167
[Vic] He better be cheering loud
because Kemp now is carrying Julius Creed,

1871
01:46:14,234 --> 01:46:17,070
and he could be carrying him
all the way to the ambulance.

1872
01:46:17,237 --> 01:46:19,039
[crowd screaming]

1873
01:46:21,475 --> 01:46:24,878
The slug fest… You see the welts
forming on the back of Creed.

1874
01:46:25,045 --> 01:46:26,947
[Booker] The fight continues right here.

1875
01:46:27,013 --> 01:46:29,983
He's got a lot of fight left
in Julius Creed.

1876
01:46:30,050 --> 01:46:33,520
Let me tell you something tonight,
Julius Creed is not going to quit.

1877
01:46:33,787 --> 01:46:37,491
You're going to have to separate this kid
from his senses tonight.

1878
01:46:37,557 --> 01:46:40,127
I'm going to tell you,
that's going to be a tall order.

1879
01:46:40,193 --> 01:46:45,198
If anybody can get it done,
it's going to be this beast, Damon Kemp.

1880
01:46:45,499 --> 01:46:48,101
[Vic] Kemp is going low, dropping Creed.

1881
01:46:48,168 --> 01:46:49,636
[crowd screaming]

1882
01:46:49,703 --> 01:46:52,038
You have to get your opponent
inside the ambulance.

1883
01:46:52,105 --> 01:46:54,307
Both doors must be shut,

1884
01:46:54,374 --> 01:46:58,078
and Damon Kemp
now could be closing in on a victory.

1885
01:46:58,311 --> 01:47:00,113
The biggest victory of his career,

1886
01:47:00,180 --> 01:47:02,749
and this could damage Diamond Mine.

1887
01:47:03,583 --> 01:47:05,085
This could end Diamond Mine.

1888
01:47:05,152 --> 01:47:07,320
-[Booker] This is vicious.
-[Vic] No.

1889
01:47:07,387 --> 01:47:08,655
[Booker] That's vicious.

1890
01:47:08,722 --> 01:47:10,957
[crowd boos]

1891
01:47:11,024 --> 01:47:14,995
[Vic] To think with every passing moment,
Damon Kemp is in control,

1892
01:47:15,061 --> 01:47:17,664
Brutus' career is slipping away.

1893
01:47:17,731 --> 01:47:18,832
[crowd boos]

1894
01:47:18,899 --> 01:47:20,500
[Booker] Good God, man.

1895
01:47:20,834 --> 01:47:26,706
[crowd screaming]

1896
01:47:27,040 --> 01:47:28,675
[Vic] You can hear the NXT Universe

1897
01:47:28,742 --> 01:47:32,379
because this could be moments away
from wrapping up.

1898
01:47:32,846 --> 01:47:36,950
Kemp now just trying to bully Julius
into the ambulance.

1899
01:47:37,017 --> 01:47:38,652
Julius is inside.

1900
01:47:38,718 --> 01:47:40,287
Kemp's got one door shut.

1901
01:47:40,353 --> 01:47:42,522
Waving goodbye, and that is it.

1902
01:47:42,589 --> 01:47:43,423
[Vic] Oh.

1903
01:47:43,490 --> 01:47:44,591
[Vic laughs]

1904
01:47:44,658 --> 01:47:46,460
A bit of juice on that kick, Book.

1905
01:47:46,526 --> 01:47:48,929
[Booker] A great offense from Julius Kemp.

1906
01:47:48,995 --> 01:47:51,431
Like I say… Excuse me. Julius Creed.

1907
01:47:51,498 --> 01:47:53,633
You have to separate this kid
from his senses.

1908
01:47:53,700 --> 01:47:55,135
He's not going to quit.

1909
01:47:55,202 --> 01:47:56,670
This is about blood,

1910
01:47:57,103 --> 01:47:59,239
and blood is thicker than water.

1911
01:47:59,306 --> 01:48:00,774
[Booker and Vic screams]

1912
01:48:00,841 --> 01:48:03,710
[Vic] Julius said he had made peace

1913
01:48:03,777 --> 01:48:06,346
with what he's going
to have to do tonight,

1914
01:48:07,180 --> 01:48:08,882
what he's going to have to do

1915
01:48:09,883 --> 01:48:11,351
to save his brother's career,

1916
01:48:11,418 --> 01:48:14,020
what he's going to have to do
for a little bit of payback

1917
01:48:14,087 --> 01:48:15,422
for Roderick Strong.

1918
01:48:16,022 --> 01:48:17,624
To keep Diamond Mine whole.

1919
01:48:17,691 --> 01:48:20,594
All the pressure is on the back of Creed.

1920
01:48:21,428 --> 01:48:24,965
ACC stand out, I'm pretty sure,
at Duke university.

1921
01:48:25,031 --> 01:48:26,900
Julius Creed never had an Ambulance Match.

1922
01:48:26,967 --> 01:48:28,768
[Booker] Let me say something.

1923
01:48:29,169 --> 01:48:31,605
This kid, he's a wrestler.

1924
01:48:32,172 --> 01:48:34,808
One thing about wrestlers,
they've been fighting their whole life

1925
01:48:34,875 --> 01:48:38,912
and that survival instinct
always kicks in,

1926
01:48:38,979 --> 01:48:42,649
and that's what we're seeing right now
between these two individuals.

1927
01:48:42,983 --> 01:48:45,418
[Vic] Damon Kemp,
with every move he makes,

1928
01:48:45,485 --> 01:48:47,787
has plotted the destruction
of Diamond Mine.

1929
01:48:47,854 --> 01:48:50,156
[Booker] Oh, no.

1930
01:48:50,323 --> 01:48:52,492
[Vic] The spine off steel.

1931
01:48:52,559 --> 01:48:54,261
[Booker] That's vicious.

1932
01:48:54,327 --> 01:48:58,999
[crowd screaming]

1933
01:48:59,065 --> 01:49:00,600
[crowd boos]

1934
01:49:00,667 --> 01:49:05,238
[Vic] Kemp, who believes he was wronged
by Diamond Mine since day one,

1935
01:49:05,305 --> 01:49:08,642
was overlooked,
is trying to prove a point right now.

1936
01:49:09,042 --> 01:49:10,210
Book,

1937
01:49:10,744 --> 01:49:12,846
where's Kemp's mindset coming from?

1938
01:49:13,246 --> 01:49:14,814
That's what everyone's been wondering.

1939
01:49:14,881 --> 01:49:17,617
What has exploded inside of Damon Kemp

1940
01:49:17,684 --> 01:49:20,453
to make him into as you call "this beast."

1941
01:49:20,620 --> 01:49:23,723
[Booker] Let me tell you something,
it's all about war.

1942
01:49:23,790 --> 01:49:25,358
You got to understand that.

1943
01:49:25,425 --> 01:49:27,661
Ernie Ladd said it best.

1944
01:49:27,727 --> 01:49:30,330
When you're getting paid to do a job,

1945
01:49:30,397 --> 01:49:33,733
you will do that job,
you do that job well,

1946
01:49:33,800 --> 01:49:35,936
and I'm big enough to step on some toes,

1947
01:49:36,002 --> 01:49:39,773
and step on some toes
and keep on walking, Jack.

1948
01:49:40,173 --> 01:49:41,608
That's what it's all about.

1949
01:49:41,675 --> 01:49:44,878
[Vic] Damon Kemp has been stepping
and squashing on all the toes

1950
01:49:44,945 --> 01:49:46,813
of Diamond Mine to lead to this point,

1951
01:49:46,880 --> 01:49:48,748
because this is a two for one for Damon.

1952
01:49:48,815 --> 01:49:51,551
He can not only have bragging
rights against Julius Creed,

1953
01:49:51,618 --> 01:49:53,653
he could put Brutus out the pasture.

1954
01:49:53,720 --> 01:49:56,289
[Booker] By the man
that brought the whole thing down,

1955
01:49:56,356 --> 01:49:58,625
and that would be Damon Kemp.

1956
01:49:58,892 --> 01:50:00,260
Is it going to happen?

1957
01:50:00,327 --> 01:50:01,995
[Vic] Creed starting to fight back.

1958
01:50:02,062 --> 01:50:03,830
[crowd screaming]

1959
01:50:03,897 --> 01:50:06,866
If you heard the words from Julius Creed
last week

1960
01:50:08,101 --> 01:50:09,402
when he was talking to Damon Kemp,

1961
01:50:09,469 --> 01:50:12,105
he's been protecting his brother
since birth.

1962
01:50:12,172 --> 01:50:14,140
It was Brutus who accepted this match up,

1963
01:50:14,207 --> 01:50:15,642
but it's Julius Creed now

1964
01:50:15,709 --> 01:50:19,746
who's creating the devastation
and destruction of Damon Kemp.

1965
01:50:20,013 --> 01:50:21,648
[Booker] Kemp's going for a ride.

1966
01:50:21,715 --> 01:50:23,683
-[Vic] Kemp can't get out.
-[Booker] He's going for a ride.

1967
01:50:23,750 --> 01:50:26,553
He's going to go for a ride.
Let's see what happens here.

1968
01:50:26,620 --> 01:50:28,888
[VIc] He might get a face full of steel.

1969
01:50:28,955 --> 01:50:30,323
[crowd screaming]

1970
01:50:30,390 --> 01:50:31,524
[Booker laughs]

1971
01:50:31,591 --> 01:50:33,460
[crowd screaming]

1972
01:50:33,526 --> 01:50:34,494
[Kemp screams]

1973
01:50:34,561 --> 01:50:38,398
You can just see that swagger
coming back from Julius Creed

1974
01:50:38,465 --> 01:50:41,034
as the complexion of this match up
has shifted.

1975
01:50:41,301 --> 01:50:44,337
[Booker] I just got
that never say die mentality that,

1976
01:50:44,404 --> 01:50:47,674
"I'm not quitting. I'm not giving up."

1977
01:50:47,741 --> 01:50:51,544
We're going to go all night if we have to
because you know why?

1978
01:50:51,611 --> 01:50:53,179
This is Halloween Havoc.

1979
01:50:53,246 --> 01:50:56,616
[Vic] Much like he saw
his mentor Roderick Strong

1980
01:50:56,683 --> 01:50:58,184
pushed in a wheelchair,

1981
01:50:58,485 --> 01:51:00,153
he is pushing Kemp along the way.

1982
01:51:00,220 --> 01:51:01,521
Kemp kind of just woke up.

1983
01:51:01,588 --> 01:51:02,656
[Vic sighs]

1984
01:51:02,722 --> 01:51:05,792
[Julius snaps]

1985
01:51:05,859 --> 01:51:07,661
[Vic] Listen to those strikes.

1986
01:51:07,727 --> 01:51:09,496
Oh. A nasty landing by Kemp.

1987
01:51:09,562 --> 01:51:13,666
[crowd cheering]

1988
01:51:13,900 --> 01:51:17,170
Julius told me earlier
he was raised by his parents.

1989
01:51:17,237 --> 01:51:18,872
You reap what you sow.

1990
01:51:19,773 --> 01:51:21,574
You make your bed you lie in it,

1991
01:51:21,641 --> 01:51:23,243
and that is what is going through his mind

1992
01:51:23,309 --> 01:51:27,013
as he continues
to apply the pressure to Kemp,

1993
01:51:27,080 --> 01:51:32,385
but Kemp presence of mind
to use his environment to his advantage.

1994
01:51:32,452 --> 01:51:35,622
[Booker] Like I say,
you got to use everything you can

1995
01:51:35,688 --> 01:51:36,956
in a match up like this.

1996
01:51:37,023 --> 01:51:40,527
This match is not a whole lot of rules
or anything like that.

1997
01:51:40,593 --> 01:51:42,996
Only thing you got to do
is beat your opponent

1998
01:51:43,063 --> 01:51:45,165
into the back of that ambulance.

1999
01:51:45,331 --> 01:51:47,734
Right now, it's a fight going on.

2000
01:51:47,801 --> 01:51:49,936
[Vic] You got to shut the doors as well.

2001
01:51:50,003 --> 01:51:51,571
[crowd cheering]

2002
01:51:51,638 --> 01:51:55,975
These two are bringing everything they can
to this match up.

2003
01:51:56,042 --> 01:51:58,311
You got to think outside the box,
don't you?

2004
01:51:58,378 --> 01:51:59,979
Oh.

2005
01:52:00,046 --> 01:52:03,149
Again, spine off steel of Julius.

2006
01:52:03,683 --> 01:52:04,751
[Booker] Bam.

2007
01:52:06,352 --> 01:52:11,791
[Crowd chants] Use the bucket!

2008
01:52:12,926 --> 01:52:14,661
[Vic] Again, the chair in hand.

2009
01:52:14,828 --> 01:52:17,230
The same chair he beat Brutus down with.

2010
01:52:17,297 --> 01:52:18,598
Oh. Just went off.

2011
01:52:18,665 --> 01:52:21,101
[crowd cheering]

2012
01:52:21,167 --> 01:52:25,038
Now Julius starting to fight back,
but again Kemp almost relentless.

2013
01:52:25,105 --> 01:52:26,172
[Booker] Oh, wow.

2014
01:52:26,239 --> 01:52:27,774
[Vic] He threw the ring bell.

2015
01:52:27,841 --> 01:52:31,644
-[Booker] This match is of control…
-[Vic] What the hell?

2016
01:52:31,711 --> 01:52:34,380
[Booker] This match
has a bit of an element,

2017
01:52:34,447 --> 01:52:35,682
no holds barred.

2018
01:52:35,749 --> 01:52:36,816
It could be a street fight.

2019
01:52:36,883 --> 01:52:40,653
It could be a bit of everything tonight
at Halloween Havoc.

2020
01:52:41,020 --> 01:52:43,289
[Vic] We better watch ourselves.
Things will be flying this way.

2021
01:52:43,356 --> 01:52:44,290
[Booker] Yes.

2022
01:52:44,357 --> 01:52:46,159
[Vic] We're going to get in front
and catch something.

2023
01:52:47,427 --> 01:52:51,931
We knew
this was a highly anticipated fight,

2024
01:52:51,998 --> 01:52:55,768
and it's been everything and more
here at Halloween Havoc.

2025
01:52:55,835 --> 01:52:57,837
[crowd cheering]

2026
01:52:57,904 --> 01:52:59,739
[Vic] Julius… Kemp.

2027
01:53:00,773 --> 01:53:05,278
They knew this wasn't going to be
a catch-as-catch-can classic.

2028
01:53:05,345 --> 01:53:08,615
Instead,
this will a good old-fashioned fight,

2029
01:53:08,681 --> 01:53:10,917
and now Kemp.

2030
01:53:11,684 --> 01:53:12,819
[Booker] Wow.

2031
01:53:12,886 --> 01:53:14,487
[man screaming] Come on, Julius!

2032
01:53:14,554 --> 01:53:16,823
[crowd screaming]

2033
01:53:17,023 --> 01:53:21,895
[Booker] This dude has no mercy.

2034
01:53:22,495 --> 01:53:24,230
He cares nothing.

2035
01:53:24,297 --> 01:53:27,033
He cares nothing about his opponent.

2036
01:53:27,100 --> 01:53:28,968
Not just this match.

2037
01:53:29,035 --> 01:53:32,405
That's the mentality of this kid,
of Damon Kemp.

2038
01:53:32,472 --> 01:53:35,608
-[Booker] I like everything about him.
-[Vic] Kemp now with Creed.

2039
01:53:35,675 --> 01:53:37,477
Creed's in the ambulance,

2040
01:53:38,211 --> 01:53:40,446
and it could be academic from here.

2041
01:53:40,513 --> 01:53:43,616
One door. Make it two, we got a winner.

2042
01:53:43,683 --> 01:53:45,084
[Vic and Booker screaming]

2043
01:53:45,151 --> 01:53:46,352
[indistinct]

2044
01:53:46,419 --> 01:53:49,989
Julius saved his brother's career
and the match with his own fingers.

2045
01:53:50,056 --> 01:53:52,192
[Booker] You see that? Oh, no.

2046
01:53:52,258 --> 01:53:54,327
[indistinct]

2047
01:53:54,394 --> 01:53:58,364
[Vic] Creed's willing to eat all this pain
to continue this match up.

2048
01:53:58,431 --> 01:54:02,001
-[Booker] His fingers' got to be broken.
-[Vic] He doesn't give a damn.

2049
01:54:02,335 --> 01:54:03,570
[Booker] Oh, no.

2050
01:54:03,636 --> 01:54:06,606
[indistinct]

2051
01:54:07,707 --> 01:54:09,509
[Vic] Adrenaline could be setting in.

2052
01:54:10,243 --> 01:54:13,546
[Booker] That's the only thing it
could be because right now,

2053
01:54:13,613 --> 01:54:15,815
Julius Creed got a few broken bones,

2054
01:54:15,882 --> 01:54:19,385
but right now is still throwing caution
to the wind.

2055
01:54:19,452 --> 01:54:22,255
[Vic] Adrenaline
will make a man do crazy things.

2056
01:54:22,322 --> 01:54:24,624
[Booker] Yes, indeed, Vic.

2057
01:54:24,691 --> 01:54:26,259
[crowd screaming]

2058
01:54:26,326 --> 01:54:27,927
[Vic] We
knew this wasn't going to be pretty,

2059
01:54:27,994 --> 01:54:29,429
but did you expect this?

2060
01:54:29,495 --> 01:54:30,830
[Booker] I said it.

2061
01:54:30,897 --> 01:54:33,199
Julius Creed is not going to quit tonight.

2062
01:54:33,266 --> 01:54:35,702
You're going to have to separate him
from his senses

2063
01:54:35,768 --> 01:54:37,403
because it's all about blood.

2064
01:54:37,470 --> 01:54:41,107
Right now if he loses this match,
his brother Brutus is out.

2065
01:54:41,174 --> 01:54:43,910
He's not going to let that happen tonight.

2066
01:54:44,077 --> 01:54:48,181
[crowd chanting] Julius!

2067
01:54:48,414 --> 01:54:49,983
[Vic] How poetic.

2068
01:54:50,049 --> 01:54:51,618
[Booker] Wow.

2069
01:54:51,684 --> 01:54:55,855
The same chair
that was used to beat down his brother.

2070
01:54:56,289 --> 01:54:59,726
Julius is now answering back to Damon.

2071
01:54:59,792 --> 01:55:01,794
[crowd chanting] Use the bucket!

2072
01:55:01,861 --> 01:55:03,630
[Booker] Oh, my goodness.

2073
01:55:04,697 --> 01:55:08,601
[crowd chanting] Use the bucket!

2074
01:55:09,269 --> 01:55:11,537
[Vic] You just hear the shots

2075
01:55:11,604 --> 01:55:13,573
ringing out

2076
01:55:13,640 --> 01:55:18,044
as Julius continues to wear down Damon.

2077
01:55:18,111 --> 01:55:19,913
[Booker] The attitude you got to have.

2078
01:55:20,079 --> 01:55:21,714
You can't think about anything

2079
01:55:22,682 --> 01:55:24,918
but what you got to do and right now.

2080
01:55:24,984 --> 01:55:26,686
[Vic] He thinks about his brother.

2081
01:55:26,753 --> 01:55:29,789
-[Vic] He thinks about Roderick Strong.
-[Booker] He's on a mission.

2082
01:55:30,857 --> 01:55:33,860
Good god. He's wailing that chair
like it's [indistinct]

2083
01:55:35,061 --> 01:55:37,230
What the hell?

2084
01:55:37,397 --> 01:55:40,066
[crowd cheering]

2085
01:55:41,634 --> 01:55:44,404
[Vic] One more for good measure.

2086
01:55:50,243 --> 01:55:52,178
I've never seen anything like this.

2087
01:55:52,679 --> 01:55:53,947
Now…

2088
01:55:54,814 --> 01:55:56,582
[Booker] He couldn't get him up.

2089
01:55:56,649 --> 01:56:00,887
Couldn't get the big man up.
Oh, no. Double time.

2090
01:56:01,287 --> 01:56:04,324
[Vic] So much taken out
of both superstars.

2091
01:56:04,390 --> 01:56:05,992
[crowd cheering]

2092
01:56:06,726 --> 01:56:10,163
[Booker] Going back to that equalizer.
He's got it back in his hands again.

2093
01:56:10,363 --> 01:56:14,133
[crowd cheering]

2094
01:56:14,200 --> 01:56:16,536
Oh, my God.

2095
01:56:17,670 --> 01:56:20,707
[Vic] If his hand wasn't broken,
it probably is now.

2096
01:56:20,773 --> 01:56:22,175
Creed be damned.

2097
01:56:22,241 --> 01:56:23,977
He is persevering.

2098
01:56:24,811 --> 01:56:28,348
[Booker] Almost decapitated Damon Kemp

2099
01:56:28,414 --> 01:56:31,851
with that clothesline
to the chair to the noggin.

2100
01:56:33,019 --> 01:56:36,055
[Vic] It's Kemp now inside

2101
01:56:36,589 --> 01:56:39,425
and the door slams shut.

2102
01:56:39,492 --> 01:56:41,494
[crowd cheering]

2103
01:56:41,561 --> 01:56:42,929
[Diamond Mine's music plays]

2104
01:56:42,996 --> 01:56:47,700
[announcer] Here is your winner,
Julius Creed.

2105
01:56:48,735 --> 01:56:51,170
[Vic] You're looking at a man
in Julius Creed

2106
01:56:51,237 --> 01:56:55,708
who did this for his family,
who did this for his brother.

2107
01:56:55,975 --> 01:56:58,411
[crowd chanting] Julius!

2108
01:56:58,678 --> 01:57:01,014
Let's go back early on in this match up.

2109
01:57:01,180 --> 01:57:04,784
These two literally threw everything
at one another.

2110
01:57:04,851 --> 01:57:09,555
Damon Kemp
had a lot of confidence at this moment.

2111
01:57:09,622 --> 01:57:14,127
[Booker] Yes, indeed.
He did, but this man…

2112
01:57:14,761 --> 01:57:17,897
[Vic] Damon Kemp
will continue to use the environment

2113
01:57:17,964 --> 01:57:20,032
around him to his advantage,

2114
01:57:20,099 --> 01:57:23,036
but you had to get your opponent
inside the ambulance.

2115
01:57:23,102 --> 01:57:27,440
This was what I was talking about.
They threw everything at one another.

2116
01:57:27,507 --> 01:57:29,375
These two, no love lost,

2117
01:57:29,575 --> 01:57:31,177
and then it was Julius Creed

2118
01:57:31,244 --> 01:57:34,781
sacrificing himself, sacrificing his body,

2119
01:57:34,847 --> 01:57:37,417
putting his hands in the door.

2120
01:57:37,483 --> 01:57:41,020
You slammed your hand in the car door.
Can you imagine what that felt?

2121
01:57:41,087 --> 01:57:42,355
It happened three times,

2122
01:57:42,422 --> 01:57:45,324
but this is when payback was coming out.

2123
01:57:45,391 --> 01:57:48,261
The "receipt,"
as you call it, was handed back.

2124
01:57:48,995 --> 01:57:52,465
Just like his brother weeks ago,
it was Damon Kemp

2125
01:57:52,532 --> 01:57:55,868
who was getting brutally beat down,
and then bam.

2126
01:57:56,035 --> 01:57:57,904
Through everything,

2127
01:57:57,970 --> 01:58:01,774
through all the emotions
to continue to push through.

2128
01:58:01,941 --> 01:58:05,611
Finally, Kemp in the ambulance,
the doors slam shut,

2129
01:58:05,678 --> 01:58:09,749
and Kemp taking the ride here tonight,

2130
01:58:09,816 --> 01:58:11,384
and Julius stands tall.

2131
01:58:11,551 --> 01:58:13,453
Brutus lives on to see another day.

2132
01:58:13,619 --> 01:58:15,154
Ivy Nile is out here.

2133
01:58:15,221 --> 01:58:17,690
Somewhere Roderick Strong is smiling.

2134
01:58:17,757 --> 01:58:20,359
One thing I know forever

2135
01:58:20,560 --> 01:58:22,361
and I know that's good,

2136
01:58:22,595 --> 01:58:25,465
Diamond Mine is forever.

2137
01:58:25,531 --> 01:58:27,567
[Diamond Mine's music playing]

2138
01:58:27,934 --> 01:58:34,907
[sirens]

2139
01:58:39,779 --> 01:58:43,516
[Vic] Book, we saw the ambulance,

2140
01:58:45,551 --> 01:58:47,653
but that vehicle looks very familiar.

2141
01:58:49,188 --> 01:58:51,524
From what we saw earlier this evening.

2142
01:58:52,792 --> 01:58:54,093
Alba Fyre.

2143
01:58:54,160 --> 01:58:56,529
-[Booker] Here we go.
-[Vic] We know…

2144
01:58:56,729 --> 01:58:58,331
[Alba] Come on, Mandy.

2145
01:58:58,397 --> 01:59:01,300
[Vic] We know Mandy Rose was in the ve…
Oh, Rose.

2146
01:59:04,070 --> 01:59:08,641
[Mandy screams]

2147
01:59:11,611 --> 01:59:13,079
[Mandy screams]

2148
01:59:14,380 --> 01:59:17,416
[Mandy and Alba scream]

2149
01:59:17,950 --> 01:59:19,619
[Alba laughs]

2150
01:59:21,554 --> 01:59:22,788
[Alba] Come on, Mandy!

2151
01:59:23,856 --> 01:59:24,957
[Mandy screams]

2152
01:59:25,024 --> 01:59:27,326
[Vic] Both women are back here.
We are live.

2153
01:59:27,393 --> 01:59:28,761
This is Halloween Havoc.

2154
01:59:28,828 --> 01:59:31,597
We just witnessed
that brutal Ambulance Match.

2155
01:59:31,664 --> 01:59:34,467
One of the most intense Ambulance Matches
in recent memory,

2156
01:59:34,534 --> 01:59:36,402
but now Fyre and Rose.

2157
01:59:36,736 --> 01:59:41,140
The action spilling where
it needs to be spilt right back here

2158
01:59:41,207 --> 01:59:42,842
inside the squared circle.

2159
01:59:42,909 --> 01:59:43,910
[Booker] Yes, indeed.

2160
01:59:43,976 --> 01:59:48,981
Alba Fyre turnabout
is fair play in this business right now,

2161
01:59:49,048 --> 01:59:52,485
and Alba let's just say she's firing up.

2162
01:59:52,552 --> 01:59:54,987
[crowd cheering]

2163
01:59:55,054 --> 01:59:58,691
[Vic] Rose has been through
maybe hell and back here tonight.

2164
01:59:58,758 --> 01:59:59,659
[announcer] Ring the bell.

2165
01:59:59,725 --> 02:00:01,160
[Vic] This match is official.

2166
02:00:01,227 --> 02:00:03,796
NXT women's championship is on the line.

2167
02:00:03,863 --> 02:00:05,898
[Booker] I like it a lot.

2168
02:00:05,965 --> 02:00:09,368
And right now, Alba Fyre is on the move.

2169
02:00:09,435 --> 02:00:10,836
This is called payback.

2170
02:00:10,903 --> 02:00:13,205
This is called retribution.

2171
02:00:13,272 --> 02:00:16,776
This is called an ass whooping
or whatever you want to call it.

2172
02:00:16,842 --> 02:00:18,744
[Vic] Fyre moving with purpose, and look,

2173
02:00:18,811 --> 02:00:21,414
we got to say what we've seen
over the last several weeks.

2174
02:00:21,480 --> 02:00:24,684
Rose's typical tricks
haven't worked against Alba Fyre.

2175
02:00:24,750 --> 02:00:28,721
[Booker] I told you Alba Fyre
was a different type of breed.

2176
02:00:28,788 --> 02:00:32,024
She's here to conquer the NXT brand

2177
02:00:32,091 --> 02:00:34,727
and it starts with Mandy Rose.

2178
02:00:35,361 --> 02:00:39,031
[Vic] Fyre wants to burn Toxic Attraction
to the ground.

2179
02:00:39,098 --> 02:00:42,602
This is the first
and maybe the last step here tonight.

2180
02:00:42,802 --> 02:00:45,504
Cover for the title,
and Rose able to kick out.

2181
02:00:45,571 --> 02:00:47,740
[Booker] Not that easy.

2182
02:00:47,807 --> 02:00:50,042
Mandy Rose loves this position.

2183
02:00:50,109 --> 02:00:52,945
Being on top of the game here in NXT.

2184
02:00:53,012 --> 02:00:55,548
I tell you,
she's not going to give it up easy.

2185
02:00:55,715 --> 02:00:57,450
Alba's going to have to take it.

2186
02:00:57,516 --> 02:00:59,251
[Vic] Fyre now going to the top,

2187
02:00:59,318 --> 02:01:00,753
and Rose sensing it,

2188
02:01:00,820 --> 02:01:03,556
realizing it
and now has a bit of breathing room.

2189
02:01:03,623 --> 02:01:07,159
It's one year next Wednesday
for Mandy Rose.

2190
02:01:07,226 --> 02:01:09,729
She won the title at Halloween Havoc
in 2021.

2191
02:01:09,795 --> 02:01:14,066
She has been the dominant women's champion
in recent memory.

2192
02:01:14,133 --> 02:01:16,068
[Booker] There we go. That's Mandy Rose.

2193
02:01:16,135 --> 02:01:19,205
[Vic] She just wants some respect
put on her name

2194
02:01:19,272 --> 02:01:21,607
and she could be beating into Fyre
right now.

2195
02:01:22,608 --> 02:01:24,977
[Booker] Yes. I like that.
That's Mandy Rose.

2196
02:01:25,044 --> 02:01:27,446
Mandy has come a long way,

2197
02:01:27,513 --> 02:01:29,615
all the way from tough enough,

2198
02:01:29,682 --> 02:01:33,052
and I look at her now,
she's the best in this business.

2199
02:01:33,119 --> 02:01:34,487
Look at the look on her face.

2200
02:01:34,553 --> 02:01:38,591
The scowl like Rocky Balboa
would set off or Mick.

2201
02:01:38,658 --> 02:01:41,127
-[Booker] Mick would say that, right?
-[Vic] Yes, scowl at her.

2202
02:01:41,193 --> 02:01:42,428
I got what you were saying.

2203
02:01:42,495 --> 02:01:46,232
Either way, Mandy Rose
has been impressive over the last year,

2204
02:01:47,033 --> 02:01:51,070
but she has seemed to be dishevelled
over the last month or so.

2205
02:01:51,137 --> 02:01:55,274
[Booker] Not just dishevelled,
distracted in so many ways,

2206
02:01:55,341 --> 02:01:57,910
but right now, Mandy Rose is on the move.

2207
02:01:57,977 --> 02:02:00,513
[Vic] Still trending number one,
Halloween Havoc.

2208
02:02:00,579 --> 02:02:05,851
You wonder if Alba Fyre
is able to dethrone Mandy Rose tonight.

2209
02:02:05,918 --> 02:02:08,688
We might see Fyre trending near the top

2210
02:02:08,754 --> 02:02:11,290
because that would be a monumental moment
in her career.

2211
02:02:11,357 --> 02:02:16,629
Into the cover for Rose to retain,
and Fyre continues to fight free.

2212
02:02:16,696 --> 02:02:21,400
[Booker] You look at Mandy Rose
that has pretty much turned the tides,

2213
02:02:21,467 --> 02:02:24,170
has shifted the momentum right now.

2214
02:02:24,236 --> 02:02:29,308
Mandy, I must say, in more ways than one,
she's looking good…

2215
02:02:29,375 --> 02:02:32,144
[Vic] This is a dream match of nightmares.

2216
02:02:32,912 --> 02:02:37,583
It has been a long night
for the NXT women's champion,

2217
02:02:37,650 --> 02:02:39,185
you think of everything
she's gone through tonight,

2218
02:02:39,251 --> 02:02:43,122
including that long ride back here
to Halloween Havoc,

2219
02:02:43,189 --> 02:02:44,256
she seems focused,

2220
02:02:44,323 --> 02:02:47,993
as she said
she would be more ruthless here tonight.

2221
02:02:48,060 --> 02:02:50,663
[Booker] See that kidney shot
right there to Alba Fyre?

2222
02:02:50,730 --> 02:02:53,532
I remember taking a shot like that
from Fit Finlay.

2223
02:02:53,599 --> 02:02:55,367
I still feel it to this day.

2224
02:02:55,434 --> 02:02:57,136
[crowd clapping]

2225
02:02:57,203 --> 02:03:00,373
[Vic] Rose is picking the hair of Alba
from her fingers.

2226
02:03:00,439 --> 02:03:07,413
Rose has weathered the storm of Fyre
early on in this night.

2227
02:03:07,480 --> 02:03:09,181
Not only this match up

2228
02:03:09,248 --> 02:03:13,486
because the long ride going through
that haunted house, that haunted maze,

2229
02:03:13,552 --> 02:03:14,987
whatever you want to call it,

2230
02:03:15,054 --> 02:03:17,990
Rose has come out on the other side
and is in control.

2231
02:03:18,057 --> 02:03:21,660
[Booker] Like I say,
Mandy Rose is a player.

2232
02:03:21,727 --> 02:03:25,631
She's not here just to be looking good.

2233
02:03:25,698 --> 02:03:29,835
She's here to take over in NXT.
Look at Mandy.

2234
02:03:29,902 --> 02:03:33,339
[Vic] A wise man once said,
"Don't hate the player. Hate the game."

2235
02:03:33,406 --> 02:03:35,941
-[Booker] I love it.
-[Vic] The game is about Rose.

2236
02:03:36,008 --> 02:03:38,744
She's been sitting atop the division
for nearly a year.

2237
02:03:39,345 --> 02:03:42,548
She has called out all those
that have denied her.

2238
02:03:43,516 --> 02:03:45,985
She has put down everyone in her path,

2239
02:03:46,051 --> 02:03:50,623
but she's never met a superstar
the breed of Alba Fyre.

2240
02:03:50,689 --> 02:03:54,627
[Booker] Like I say, Alba Fyre,
she took over NXT UK

2241
02:03:54,693 --> 02:03:58,097
and she's here to take over North America.

2242
02:03:58,164 --> 02:04:00,232
Right now, she's here to take over NXT

2243
02:04:00,299 --> 02:04:03,002
as well as all of that women's locker room

2244
02:04:03,068 --> 02:04:04,570
and you got to love it.

2245
02:04:04,637 --> 02:04:07,973
[Vic] Fyre at one time was
called the "forever champion".

2246
02:04:08,040 --> 02:04:11,310
She would love once again
to wear gold around her waist,

2247
02:04:11,377 --> 02:04:15,414
as it's all about the NXT women's title
Halloween Havoc.

2248
02:04:15,481 --> 02:04:17,116
What a night it has been.

2249
02:04:17,183 --> 02:04:19,251
The spookiest night of the year

2250
02:04:19,318 --> 02:04:21,554
has lived up to its billing
and both these women

2251
02:04:21,620 --> 02:04:25,891
are slugging it out
for the right to be called champion.

2252
02:04:25,958 --> 02:04:27,359
[Booker] Yes, indeed.

2253
02:04:27,426 --> 02:04:29,628
If I'm not mistaken,
she held that championship for like,

2254
02:04:29,695 --> 02:04:31,964
what, six-plus days?

2255
02:04:32,031 --> 02:04:33,666
You got to love that.

2256
02:04:33,732 --> 02:04:35,634
[Vic] Now trying to turn around Rose.

2257
02:04:35,701 --> 02:04:37,169
Rose gets dropped face first

2258
02:04:37,336 --> 02:04:41,140
and is Fyre
closing in on ending the reign of Rose?

2259
02:04:42,141 --> 02:04:45,077
Is she able to extinguish Mandy Rose
here tonight?

2260
02:04:45,144 --> 02:04:47,213
Someone
might need to check on Wade Barrett.

2261
02:04:48,447 --> 02:04:50,950
[Booker] You aren't wrong.
Let me say something.

2262
02:04:51,016 --> 02:04:54,687
Mandy doesn't have her normal backup
or anything like that,

2263
02:04:54,753 --> 02:04:58,224
but I'm going to tell you
that she's taking the fight to Alba Fyre.

2264
02:04:58,290 --> 02:05:02,027
[Vic] Off the spine buster into the cover.
Shoulders are down to retain.

2265
02:05:02,094 --> 02:05:04,363
Oh. Wow. So close.

2266
02:05:04,430 --> 02:05:06,131
-[Mandy] So close.
-[Vic] So close.

2267
02:05:07,266 --> 02:05:09,702
One more look. Up and boom.

2268
02:05:09,768 --> 02:05:11,904
[Booker] Beautiful spine buster there.

2269
02:05:13,772 --> 02:05:14,907
[Vic] Into the cover.

2270
02:05:14,974 --> 02:05:18,077
Maybe didn't get a cover
quick enough, Book,

2271
02:05:18,143 --> 02:05:20,713
to put away because so much
has been taken out of Rose.

2272
02:05:20,779 --> 02:05:23,282
Not only physically
but also mentally here tonight.

2273
02:05:23,782 --> 02:05:25,551
-[Vic] Rose…
-[Booker] Here we go.

2274
02:05:25,618 --> 02:05:28,420
[Vic] She could be looking
for the finishing touches on Alba Fyre.

2275
02:05:28,854 --> 02:05:32,091
Fire trying to wiggle free, able to do so.
Can she counter? She can.

2276
02:05:33,158 --> 02:05:36,262
Fyre now. Oh. Some heavy artillery.

2277
02:05:36,996 --> 02:05:39,298
-[Vic] Do we have a new champion?
-[Booker] Oh.

2278
02:05:39,465 --> 02:05:42,201
Another near fall. Look at Fyre.

2279
02:05:42,268 --> 02:05:44,870
No wasted motion.
She's been to the dance before.

2280
02:05:44,937 --> 02:05:46,605
She's been a champion in the past.

2281
02:05:46,672 --> 02:05:49,141
She's looking to fly up and down.

2282
02:05:49,375 --> 02:05:51,510
She got all the swanton.
Will it be enough?

2283
02:05:51,577 --> 02:05:53,479
We got a new champion.

2284
02:05:53,545 --> 02:05:55,114
-[Booker] Hook the leg.
-[Vic] Cover.

2285
02:05:55,180 --> 02:05:56,348
[crowd screaming]

2286
02:05:56,415 --> 02:05:59,418
Toxic Attraction's Jayne and Dolin.

2287
02:05:59,585 --> 02:06:02,721
[wrestlers and referee screaming]

2288
02:06:02,888 --> 02:06:06,058
[crowd screaming]

2289
02:06:07,126 --> 02:06:09,261
[VIc] Referee's got his hands full. Oh.

2290
02:06:09,962 --> 02:06:11,597
Referee got wiped out.

2291
02:06:12,298 --> 02:06:14,366
Dolin wiped out. Jayne wiped out.

2292
02:06:14,433 --> 02:06:15,901
Rose missed with the knee.

2293
02:06:16,168 --> 02:06:17,503
Connect with the headbutt.

2294
02:06:18,237 --> 02:06:19,138
Fyre.

2295
02:06:19,204 --> 02:06:20,472
Gory bomb.

2296
02:06:20,673 --> 02:06:21,740
That's it.

2297
02:06:22,474 --> 02:06:23,375
Cover.

2298
02:06:23,442 --> 02:06:25,110
[crowd screaming]

2299
02:06:25,177 --> 02:06:27,179
-[Booker] No ref.
-[Vic] There's no ref.

2300
02:06:27,246 --> 02:06:29,515
The referee is down.

2301
02:06:29,882 --> 02:06:36,755
[crowd screaming]

2302
02:06:37,189 --> 02:06:38,791
[Vic] Fyre to the outside.

2303
02:06:40,326 --> 02:06:41,493
Our referee,

2304
02:06:42,895 --> 02:06:47,132
and wisely,
Fyre getting the official back in it.

2305
02:06:47,199 --> 02:06:49,335
-[Booker] Oh.
-[Vic] Dolin and Jayne.

2306
02:06:50,336 --> 02:06:53,672
The referee
obviously didn't see what's going on.

2307
02:06:53,739 --> 02:06:55,374
[Booker] Come on. It's the numbers game.

2308
02:06:55,441 --> 02:06:59,712
It's the number game
like a pack of wolves.

2309
02:06:59,778 --> 02:07:01,146
[Vic] Kiss by the Rose.

2310
02:07:01,614 --> 02:07:03,182
[Booker] Like a pack of wolves.

2311
02:07:03,248 --> 02:07:07,252
[crowd] One. Two. Three.

2312
02:07:07,453 --> 02:07:08,420
[bell rings]

2313
02:07:08,487 --> 02:07:11,156
[Mandy Rose's music plays]

2314
02:07:11,223 --> 02:07:16,095
[announcer] Here is your winner
and still the NXT women's champion,

2315
02:07:16,261 --> 02:07:18,931
Mandy Rose.

2316
02:07:19,231 --> 02:07:22,067
[Mandy Rose's music plays]

2317
02:07:22,234 --> 02:07:24,336
[screams]

2318
02:07:24,403 --> 02:07:26,171
[Mandy Rose's music plays]

2319
02:07:26,438 --> 02:07:27,706
[Vic] Book, you called it.

2320
02:07:27,773 --> 02:07:30,009
[crowd screaming]

2321
02:07:30,909 --> 02:07:33,512
[Vic] The numbers advantage

2322
02:07:34,947 --> 02:07:37,883
played once again into the hand

2323
02:07:38,450 --> 02:07:39,852
of Mandy Rose,

2324
02:07:40,352 --> 02:07:41,553
who again

2325
02:07:41,987 --> 02:07:48,360
puts down another victim
in her record reign.

2326
02:07:49,294 --> 02:07:52,131
Some would say of terror here in NXT.

2327
02:07:53,365 --> 02:07:54,967
[Booker] Wow. Beautiful.

2328
02:07:55,668 --> 02:07:58,203
[Vic] Let's go back.
This was the turning point,

2329
02:07:58,570 --> 02:08:01,106
somewhere, somehow Toxic Attraction.

2330
02:08:01,173 --> 02:08:03,809
I thought Gigi Dolin
was locked in a freezer somewhere.

2331
02:08:03,876 --> 02:08:05,144
Apparently I was wrong.

2332
02:08:05,210 --> 02:08:09,348
Alba Fyre
was able to outsmart Toxic Attraction

2333
02:08:09,548 --> 02:08:12,451
and stay one step ahead of Mandy Rose.

2334
02:08:12,518 --> 02:08:14,253
The Gory bomb ended it,

2335
02:08:14,319 --> 02:08:17,489
but there was no referee in sight.

2336
02:08:17,556 --> 02:08:21,093
The official was wiped out
from that super kick we just witnessed.

2337
02:08:21,160 --> 02:08:23,529
Alba Fyre did what she needed to do.

2338
02:08:23,595 --> 02:08:25,464
She got the official back in the ring,

2339
02:08:25,531 --> 02:08:28,867
but bam, it opened up the door for her
to be wiped out

2340
02:08:28,934 --> 02:08:31,403
because the official didn't see.

2341
02:08:31,470 --> 02:08:33,839
It bang, and, the kiss by the Rose,
we all saw it,

2342
02:08:33,906 --> 02:08:39,311
and we all continue to live in the reign
of Mandy Rose.

2343
02:08:39,378 --> 02:08:40,512
[bell rings]

2344
02:08:40,579 --> 02:08:44,116
[Vic] As the days continue to rack up,

2345
02:08:44,183 --> 02:08:46,085
and, in her own words,

2346
02:08:46,585 --> 02:08:51,623
will respect
be put on the name of Mandy Rose?

2347
02:08:51,690 --> 02:08:53,225
[Mandy Rose's music plays]

2348
02:08:56,929 --> 02:09:01,667
A man often finds his destiny
on the path he takes to avoid it.

2349
02:09:02,501 --> 02:09:05,971
This is surreal.

2350
02:09:06,038 --> 02:09:09,908
[male voice] Six years away from WWE.

2351
02:09:09,975 --> 02:09:14,213
Everyone thinks the decision
to return was difficult.

2352
02:09:14,279 --> 02:09:17,916
Get a dream, hold on to it,
and shoot for the sky.

2353
02:09:18,317 --> 02:09:19,685
It was not.

2354
02:09:20,185 --> 02:09:23,856
I knew not what I wanted to do,
what I needed to do,

2355
02:09:23,922 --> 02:09:25,824
win this championship,

2356
02:09:25,891 --> 02:09:29,428
bestow it into the hands
of "The American dream" Gusty Rhodes.

2357
02:09:29,828 --> 02:09:32,197
Unfortunately, that dream died.

2358
02:09:33,031 --> 02:09:34,366
Or did it?

2359
02:09:34,433 --> 02:09:36,401
[music]

2360
02:09:36,935 --> 02:09:39,338
[male voice] Second-generation athlete.

2361
02:09:39,404 --> 02:09:43,275
One of the richest in-ring IQs
in our industry.

2362
02:09:43,342 --> 02:09:47,312
[male voice] Right now,
high above the clouds,

2363
02:09:47,379 --> 02:09:51,550
a certain son of a plumber
is grinning from ear to ear.

2364
02:09:51,717 --> 02:09:56,255
Yes, I cannot physically bestow it
upon "the American dream" Dusty Rhodes…

2365
02:09:56,822 --> 02:10:01,093
[music]

2366
02:10:01,160 --> 02:10:02,928
…but I certainly can put it

2367
02:10:02,995 --> 02:10:05,831
around the waist
of the American nightmare.

2368
02:10:07,900 --> 02:10:11,970
[male voice] Cody Rhodes suffered a
partial pectoral tear,

2369
02:10:12,037 --> 02:10:13,872
then working out

2370
02:10:13,939 --> 02:10:16,375
he tore the pectoral muscle
right off the bone.

2371
02:10:17,576 --> 02:10:20,245
Nonetheless,
being the man and the competitor

2372
02:10:20,312 --> 02:10:21,580
that Cody Rhodes is,

2373
02:10:21,647 --> 02:10:24,116
Cody will step inside hell in a cell.

2374
02:10:24,850 --> 02:10:27,619
[crowd screaming]

2375
02:10:28,020 --> 02:10:30,022
[male voice] Cody Rhodes
has shown us something

2376
02:10:30,088 --> 02:10:33,525
that no other WWE superstar ever has.

2377
02:10:34,393 --> 02:10:36,895
The heart, the guts, and determination,

2378
02:10:36,962 --> 02:10:40,766
and a clearly wounded Cody Rhodes
giving the performance of a lifetime.

2379
02:10:40,833 --> 02:10:43,202
[music]

2380
02:10:43,268 --> 02:10:45,037
[crowd cheering]

2381
02:10:45,103 --> 02:10:49,474
[male voice] From undesirable
to undeniable.

2382
02:10:49,641 --> 02:10:52,644
[crowd cheering]

2383
02:10:52,711 --> 02:10:55,447
[music]

2384
02:10:55,514 --> 02:10:57,416
[male voice] Cody had successful surgery

2385
02:10:57,482 --> 02:11:00,452
and will be out of action
for up to nine months.

2386
02:11:01,420 --> 02:11:04,089
I've never been patient in my career.

2387
02:11:04,790 --> 02:11:07,626
A lot of trust is being put on to me
to do it right

2388
02:11:08,727 --> 02:11:12,898
and I'm going to do it for me,
I'm going to do it for my family,

2389
02:11:12,965 --> 02:11:15,801
and I am going to do it for you.

2390
02:11:17,836 --> 02:11:22,407
[crowd chants] Cody!

2391
02:11:24,876 --> 02:11:26,511
[music]

2392
02:11:26,578 --> 02:11:28,013
[Vic] We are moments away.

2393
02:11:28,580 --> 02:11:30,849
As you see, the NXT champion

2394
02:11:31,884 --> 02:11:36,255
is preparing for the two challengers
that stand in his way.

2395
02:11:36,321 --> 02:11:38,357
Can Breakker overcome the odds

2396
02:11:38,423 --> 02:11:41,393
once again here tonight
at Halloween Havoc?

2397
02:11:42,794 --> 02:11:47,199
I'm now joined by the number one contender
to the NXT women's tag team champions,

2398
02:11:47,399 --> 02:11:48,867
Nikkita Lyons and Zoey Stark.

2399
02:11:48,934 --> 02:11:51,036
Ladies, on Tuesday it's your night.

2400
02:11:51,536 --> 02:11:55,274
That's right.
One year ago at this exact event,

2401
02:11:55,574 --> 02:11:56,975
my life changed.

2402
02:11:57,442 --> 02:11:59,945
I wasn't sure
if I would ever get to compete again.

2403
02:12:00,012 --> 02:12:02,014
I thought my career was over.

2404
02:12:02,080 --> 02:12:04,049
I didn't think
we would get the opportunity

2405
02:12:04,116 --> 02:12:05,517
to become champions again.

2406
02:12:06,251 --> 02:12:07,319
And look at us now.

2407
02:12:07,386 --> 02:12:10,222
We are on the doorstep
and all we need to do

2408
02:12:10,289 --> 02:12:12,291
is kick that damn door down on Tuesday

2409
02:12:12,357 --> 02:12:13,592
and take those titles.

2410
02:12:13,825 --> 02:12:16,628
Winning my first championship
has been my main focus,

2411
02:12:16,962 --> 02:12:19,431
but my biggest reason for wanting to win

2412
02:12:19,598 --> 02:12:21,433
is this girl right here.

2413
02:12:21,500 --> 02:12:22,734
[laughs]

2414
02:12:22,801 --> 02:12:26,605
I cannot wait to hear and new…

2415
02:12:26,672 --> 02:12:29,741
New… Hey, count us in on that too.

2416
02:12:30,175 --> 02:12:33,278
Zoey, don't you worry
because you're about to be a two-time

2417
02:12:33,345 --> 02:12:35,547
NXT tag team champion.

2418
02:12:35,614 --> 02:12:39,451
Tag team title Tuesday
is going to be exuberating.

2419
02:12:39,518 --> 02:12:42,154
Those yes boys
won't even know what hit them.

2420
02:12:42,220 --> 02:12:44,890
Two teams, one dream
ready to shock the world.

2421
02:12:44,956 --> 02:12:46,391
-Shock the world.
-Shock the world.

2422
02:12:46,458 --> 02:12:48,727
-Let's watch the Main Event.
-Where's my costume?

2423
02:12:49,561 --> 02:12:51,330
Vic and Booker, back to you.

2424
02:12:51,797 --> 02:12:52,698
[Vic] Thanks.

2425
02:12:52,764 --> 02:12:55,434
What a night it has been
here at Halloween Havoc, but Book,

2426
02:12:56,034 --> 02:12:58,503
what a night
it's going to be in two weeks from tonight

2427
02:12:58,570 --> 02:13:00,005
at Crown Jewel.

2428
02:13:00,072 --> 02:13:01,340
-Are you ready?
-I'm ready.

2429
02:13:01,406 --> 02:13:04,743
I'm ready for that boy
Logan Paul versus Roman Reigns.

2430
02:13:04,810 --> 02:13:08,780
Somebody's going to get beat out of them
in Crown Jewel.

2431
02:13:08,847 --> 02:13:10,816
Let's talk about
what's coming up this Tuesday

2432
02:13:10,882 --> 02:13:12,017
as we've just heard.

2433
02:13:12,084 --> 02:13:14,152
[Vic] It is a tag team title Tuesday.

2434
02:13:14,219 --> 02:13:16,054
Chance and Carter are ready to fight a duo

2435
02:13:16,121 --> 02:13:18,090
they believe isn't a real team

2436
02:13:18,156 --> 02:13:20,792
when they put the gold
up against Lyons and Stark,

2437
02:13:20,859 --> 02:13:24,763
not to be outdone, the second
title match will feature Blade and Enofe.

2438
02:13:24,830 --> 02:13:27,733
It'll be the biggest match
of their careers by far

2439
02:13:27,799 --> 02:13:29,501
going up against Pretty Deadly.

2440
02:13:29,735 --> 02:13:34,840
Will we see new champions
crowned this Tuesday on NXT?

2441
02:13:34,906 --> 02:13:35,741
Breaking news.

2442
02:13:35,807 --> 02:13:38,310
After what we witnessed earlier tonight,

2443
02:13:38,377 --> 02:13:41,179
Shotzi is back in NXT.

2444
02:13:41,246 --> 02:13:44,416
She will go toe-to-toe with Lash Legend,

2445
02:13:44,483 --> 02:13:49,221
one-on-one live this Tuesday
on USA on NXT,

2446
02:13:49,287 --> 02:13:51,423
but let's get back to tonight

2447
02:13:51,490 --> 02:13:53,425
because it is main event time.

2448
02:13:53,759 --> 02:13:56,962
Three warriors, one title, one match.

2449
02:13:57,029 --> 02:13:58,130
The only question,

2450
02:13:58,196 --> 02:14:01,867
who
walks out Halloween Havoc NXT champion?

2451
02:14:04,369 --> 02:14:09,708
[exciting music]

2452
02:14:10,642 --> 02:14:13,678
NXT is my life.

2453
02:14:13,745 --> 02:14:15,881
[Vic] The man of the brand.

2454
02:14:16,615 --> 02:14:18,350
I'm the freaking NXT champion.

2455
02:14:18,417 --> 02:14:21,286
[exciting music]

2456
02:14:22,020 --> 02:14:25,123
I'll prove why I earned this championship

2457
02:14:27,325 --> 02:14:29,861
each and every week.

2458
02:14:31,463 --> 02:14:33,198
[Vic] He hits with impact.

2459
02:14:33,265 --> 02:14:35,333
Everything he does is with precision.

2460
02:14:35,400 --> 02:14:37,202
Bron Breakker is the present

2461
02:14:37,269 --> 02:14:39,805
and he's paving a way for the future.

2462
02:14:40,005 --> 02:14:42,474
This title is staying with me.

2463
02:14:42,541 --> 02:14:44,910
[exciting music]

2464
02:14:46,011 --> 02:14:47,512
[Booker] JD McDonagh?

2465
02:14:47,579 --> 02:14:48,780
A necessary evil…

2466
02:14:51,083 --> 02:14:52,651
…has arrived in NXT.

2467
02:14:55,353 --> 02:14:56,922
[Vic] Like him or not,

2468
02:14:57,956 --> 02:15:00,492
you have to respect McDonagh
for what he can do in the ring,

2469
02:15:00,559 --> 02:15:02,294
and he now has punched his ticket

2470
02:15:03,762 --> 02:15:05,530
to a date with destiny

2471
02:15:05,597 --> 02:15:07,966
with the NXT champion, Bron Breakker.

2472
02:15:08,033 --> 02:15:09,935
You might think
that you slipped through my mind,

2473
02:15:10,001 --> 02:15:11,803
but you are so sadly mistaken.

2474
02:15:11,870 --> 02:15:13,872
This is going to end real soon.

2475
02:15:13,939 --> 02:15:17,342
[crowd cheering]

2476
02:15:17,409 --> 02:15:20,078
[Vic] Ilja Dragunov is here.

2477
02:15:20,145 --> 02:15:22,514
[Booker] This just gets better and better.

2478
02:15:22,581 --> 02:15:26,818
[Vic] Someone else is now focused
on the biggest prize in NXT.

2479
02:15:28,653 --> 02:15:31,289
I returned to repeat history.

2480
02:15:33,091 --> 02:15:36,361
I returned to achieve my destiny.

2481
02:15:36,428 --> 02:15:40,899
You remind me of NXT UK
and I have spent every waking second

2482
02:15:40,966 --> 02:15:43,768
thinking of ways
that I can torture your soul.

2483
02:15:43,835 --> 02:15:46,404
This guy is trying to get to the point

2484
02:15:46,471 --> 02:15:48,773
where you guys tear each other apart.

2485
02:15:48,840 --> 02:15:50,108
I haven't been stirring the pot,

2486
02:15:50,175 --> 02:15:53,044
I've been on my best behavior
since I became number one contender.

2487
02:15:53,111 --> 02:15:55,213
[crowd cheering]

2488
02:15:55,280 --> 02:15:58,183
I wasn't the one
that laid out Bron Breakker last week.

2489
02:15:58,250 --> 02:15:59,251
[Vic] Oh.

2490
02:15:59,985 --> 02:16:02,487
Dragunov was aiming for McDonagh.

2491
02:16:02,554 --> 02:16:05,156
I didn't spear Ilja Dragunov
out of his boots.

2492
02:16:05,223 --> 02:16:06,558
[Booker] Oh.

2493
02:16:07,292 --> 02:16:09,661
[Vic] Breakker
sending a message to Dragunov

2494
02:16:09,728 --> 02:16:12,164
as there's JD McDonagh

2495
02:16:12,230 --> 02:16:16,234
looking on with every playing
into his hand.

2496
02:16:16,301 --> 02:16:17,269
[Bron] There hasn't been a single thing

2497
02:16:17,335 --> 02:16:20,105
that an opponent has been able
to do to you to keep you down

2498
02:16:20,172 --> 02:16:24,776
except when I speared your ass
in the center of this ring last week.

2499
02:16:24,843 --> 02:16:26,545
You are human.

2500
02:16:26,611 --> 02:16:28,880
You are beatable.

2501
02:16:28,947 --> 02:16:33,485
I will recapture the title
that should have been mine

2502
02:16:33,552 --> 02:16:35,420
in the very first place.

2503
02:16:35,487 --> 02:16:37,956
[exciting music playing]

2504
02:16:38,156 --> 02:16:41,293
[Bron] Over my dead body.

2505
02:16:42,127 --> 02:16:43,328
[Booker] Here we go.

2506
02:16:43,395 --> 02:16:44,229
[Vic] We knew it wouldn't last.

2507
02:16:44,296 --> 02:16:46,565
[Booker] If you can't get along,
let's get it on.

2508
02:16:47,065 --> 02:16:51,002
[Bron] As long as I'm breathing,
this championship will be mine.

2509
02:16:51,069 --> 02:16:53,071
[Vic] JD McDonagh's smiling,
laughing as these

2510
02:16:53,138 --> 02:16:55,574
two are just going at each other.

2511
02:16:55,640 --> 02:16:56,675
Oh.

2512
02:16:57,375 --> 02:16:59,444
Dragunov piercing a hole through McDonagh.

2513
02:16:59,511 --> 02:17:00,545
[Booker] Wow.

2514
02:17:00,612 --> 02:17:03,415
[Vic] Could this be the scene
at Halloween Havoc?

2515
02:17:03,481 --> 02:17:06,184
[JD McDonagh speaks]

2516
02:17:10,055 --> 02:17:12,591
[JD McDonagh's music plays]

2517
02:17:12,657 --> 02:17:15,293
[Vic] It is time for combustible elements

2518
02:17:15,527 --> 02:17:19,497
to explode in our main event
of Halloween Havoc.

2519
02:17:20,765 --> 02:17:27,439
[JD McDonagh's music plays]

2520
02:17:31,543 --> 02:17:34,713
[crowd boos]

2521
02:17:38,083 --> 02:17:41,620
[Vic] Here's a superstar
who could very well be a spawn of Chucky

2522
02:17:41,686 --> 02:17:44,856
for the way he moves around,
the things he says and he does.

2523
02:17:44,923 --> 02:17:47,792
Are we getting ready to live in an NXT

2524
02:17:47,859 --> 02:17:50,061
where McDonagh is champion?

2525
02:17:50,128 --> 02:17:53,765
[Booker] Let me tell you something.
I like this kid, is no-nonsense.

2526
02:17:53,832 --> 02:17:56,735
It's all about going out
and taking care of business.

2527
02:17:56,935 --> 02:17:59,437
I say it all the time,
you look in the eyes.

2528
02:17:59,504 --> 02:18:01,206
The eyes never lie.

2529
02:18:01,272 --> 02:18:05,477
This McDonagh kid is dangerous,
very dangerous.

2530
02:18:05,543 --> 02:18:09,614
[JD McDonagh's music plays]

2531
02:18:13,151 --> 02:18:18,657
[Ilja Dragunov's music plays]

2532
02:18:18,723 --> 02:18:22,193
[Vic] Here comes the second man
in this terrifying triple threat.

2533
02:18:22,260 --> 02:18:23,461
For Dragunov,

2534
02:18:23,695 --> 02:18:26,798
he has been waiting for this moment

2535
02:18:27,065 --> 02:18:28,500
all summer long.

2536
02:18:28,566 --> 02:18:32,771
Let's not forget he had to relinquish
the NXT United Kingdom Championship

2537
02:18:33,104 --> 02:18:37,142
this summer
after suffering from an ankle injury.

2538
02:18:37,475 --> 02:18:39,911
[Booker] You said it,
relinquishing the championship,

2539
02:18:39,978 --> 02:18:41,646
coming off of an injury,

2540
02:18:41,713 --> 02:18:44,582
and here tonight at Halloween Havoc 2022,

2541
02:18:44,649 --> 02:18:50,021
Dragunov
has a chance to play his greatest symphony

2542
02:18:50,088 --> 02:18:51,456
here tonight.

2543
02:18:51,923 --> 02:18:54,426
[Ilja Dragunov's music plays]

2544
02:18:55,326 --> 02:18:56,861
[Booker] Look at the action.

2545
02:18:57,362 --> 02:18:58,563
Look at the balance.

2546
02:18:58,630 --> 02:19:00,231
Look at the timing.

2547
02:19:00,298 --> 02:19:05,103
[Vic] Quite a history
between both Dragunov and McDonagh.

2548
02:19:05,170 --> 02:19:06,571
[McDonagh screams]

2549
02:19:07,605 --> 02:19:09,541
[Vic] McDonagh has tried to play

2550
02:19:09,607 --> 02:19:10,909
both his opponents tonight

2551
02:19:10,975 --> 02:19:13,912
and pit each against the other.

2552
02:19:13,978 --> 02:19:17,515
[Ilja Dragunov's music plays]

2553
02:19:17,582 --> 02:19:22,754
[Vic] We are in
for quite a championship match up tonight

2554
02:19:22,954 --> 02:19:25,090
to close out Halloween Havoc…

2555
02:19:25,156 --> 02:19:26,791
[crowd screaming]

2556
02:19:26,858 --> 02:19:29,461
…but there's one last man.

2557
02:19:29,527 --> 02:19:31,329
[crowd chants] Dragunov!

2558
02:19:31,396 --> 02:19:37,202
[Vic] Can this superstar
step up to the plate one more time?

2559
02:19:37,368 --> 02:19:39,671
Can he do it again here tonight?

2560
02:19:39,838 --> 02:19:42,173
[sirens wail]

2561
02:19:44,042 --> 02:19:49,180
[Bron Breakker's music plays]

2562
02:19:49,981 --> 02:19:53,585
[crowd cheers]

2563
02:20:11,102 --> 02:20:14,739
[Vic] The champion
sending a message to his challengers,

2564
02:20:14,906 --> 02:20:19,210
but let's remember, history not so kind
in this sort of match up for Bron Breakker.

2565
02:20:19,277 --> 02:20:22,547
It was earlier this year
that Breakker lost the NXT title

2566
02:20:22,747 --> 02:20:26,785
to Dolph Ziggler
in a match that also featured Ciampa.

2567
02:20:27,719 --> 02:20:30,855
Being students of the game,
Dragunov and McDonagh,

2568
02:20:30,922 --> 02:20:32,424
they know that fact.

2569
02:20:33,892 --> 02:20:36,594
[Booker] There's no shame in losing, Vic.

2570
02:20:36,961 --> 02:20:38,496
It only makes you better.

2571
02:20:38,563 --> 02:20:39,998
It only makes you stronger.

2572
02:20:40,165 --> 02:20:42,801
I look at this kid right here,
Bron Breakker,

2573
02:20:42,867 --> 02:20:44,636
and he's not a kid anymore,

2574
02:20:44,702 --> 02:20:46,805
he's a grown-ass man

2575
02:20:47,405 --> 02:20:49,107
that you do not want to mess with.

2576
02:20:49,174 --> 02:20:52,043
[announcer] This Triple Threat Match
scheduled for one fall

2577
02:20:52,110 --> 02:20:57,081
is for the NXT Championship.

2578
02:20:57,148 --> 02:20:58,650
[crowd screaming]

2579
02:20:58,817 --> 02:21:00,752
[announcer] Introducing the challengers,

2580
02:21:01,853 --> 02:21:05,457
JD McDonagh.

2581
02:21:05,623 --> 02:21:08,460
[crowd cheers]

2582
02:21:10,562 --> 02:21:15,533
[announcer] Next, Ilja Dragunov.

2583
02:21:15,600 --> 02:21:18,903
[crowd cheers]

2584
02:21:19,537 --> 02:21:21,239
[announcer] Then their opponent,

2585
02:21:21,306 --> 02:21:25,610
he is the NXT champion,

2586
02:21:25,877 --> 02:21:29,614
Bron Breakker.

2587
02:21:29,681 --> 02:21:30,849
[crowd screaming]

2588
02:21:30,915 --> 02:21:32,317
[Booker] You
walked into this premier event,

2589
02:21:32,383 --> 02:21:34,786
Halloween Havoc,
as champion on top of your game.

2590
02:21:34,853 --> 02:21:36,354
As a matter of fact,

2591
02:21:36,421 --> 02:21:38,189
you beat Bron's uncle Scot

2592
02:21:38,256 --> 02:21:40,391
at Halloween Havoc 2000.

2593
02:21:40,458 --> 02:21:43,361
What sort of mindset
does Bron have to have

2594
02:21:43,428 --> 02:21:44,762
knowing what he's gone through this year?

2595
02:21:44,829 --> 02:21:48,032
[Booker] What a night for me
going against Scott Steiner as champion,

2596
02:21:48,099 --> 02:21:50,068
One of the best in this business…

2597
02:21:50,134 --> 02:21:50,969
[bell rings]

2598
02:21:51,035 --> 02:21:54,405
[Booker] But I say, I was nervous.
I was scared.

2599
02:21:54,472 --> 02:21:56,474
I had butterflies
flying all over the place

2600
02:21:56,541 --> 02:21:59,143
and I'm sure Bron
is going through the same thing,

2601
02:21:59,210 --> 02:22:01,713
but you got
to make those butterflies line up

2602
02:22:01,779 --> 02:22:03,581
and fly straight.

2603
02:22:03,648 --> 02:22:04,916
You got to get the job done.

2604
02:22:04,983 --> 02:22:07,519
[Vic] Whoa.
Well, you talk about going straight.

2605
02:22:07,585 --> 02:22:10,288
Dragunov's going right at McDonagh.

2606
02:22:11,489 --> 02:22:12,557
Oh, my…

2607
02:22:12,624 --> 02:22:15,193
Breakker
wants to get him some of McDonagh.

2608
02:22:15,260 --> 02:22:16,628
[Booker] You want a piece of the action,

2609
02:22:16,694 --> 02:22:18,997
you want a piece of these champagne wishes

2610
02:22:19,063 --> 02:22:20,298
and caviar dreams.

2611
02:22:21,299 --> 02:22:23,968
-[Vic] Right back on top, and… Oh.
-[Booker] Oh.

2612
02:22:24,035 --> 02:22:27,538
[Vic] It was this past Tuesday McDonagh
thought he had the upper hand,

2613
02:22:27,605 --> 02:22:29,574
outsmarting both these superstars,

2614
02:22:29,641 --> 02:22:30,975
but right now

2615
02:22:31,042 --> 02:22:34,379
it seems getting the worst end
of it is McDonagh,

2616
02:22:35,213 --> 02:22:37,849
but Dragunov is now back in.

2617
02:22:38,383 --> 02:22:42,453
Why not just work together for a bit,
Book?

2618
02:22:42,520 --> 02:22:45,590
[Booker] It seems they both have
a beef with McDonagh,

2619
02:22:45,657 --> 02:22:47,325
and they want to take it out on him.

2620
02:22:47,392 --> 02:22:48,459
I understand it,

2621
02:22:48,526 --> 02:22:51,229
but you got to be smart
in a match up like this.

2622
02:22:51,296 --> 02:22:52,363
Oh.

2623
02:22:52,430 --> 02:22:53,298
[Vic] From behind McDonagh,

2624
02:22:53,364 --> 02:22:57,201
and now he's right on top of Breakker,
on top of Dragunov.

2625
02:22:57,268 --> 02:22:59,604
This is what McDonagh
said he was going to do.

2626
02:22:59,671 --> 02:23:02,307
He was going to pit these two
against one another

2627
02:23:02,373 --> 02:23:05,610
and he was going to dissect
not one but both,

2628
02:23:05,677 --> 02:23:10,214
and at the end of Halloween Havoc,
we would be hearing a new NXT champion,

2629
02:23:10,281 --> 02:23:11,950
JD McDonagh.

2630
02:23:12,016 --> 02:23:13,918
Floating off the snap suplex. Kick out.

2631
02:23:13,985 --> 02:23:17,855
[Booker] I've talked about it earlier.
Play smarter, not harder.

2632
02:23:17,922 --> 02:23:19,824
That's what McDonagh is all about.

2633
02:23:19,891 --> 02:23:21,659
This kid has a strategy tonight,

2634
02:23:21,726 --> 02:23:23,227
let's see
if it's going to play out for him

2635
02:23:23,294 --> 02:23:25,563
and he walks out of here
with that championship.

2636
02:23:25,630 --> 02:23:27,465
[Vic] McDonagh said after NXT Heatwave,

2637
02:23:27,532 --> 02:23:29,867
he knew exactly what Bron Breakker can do.

2638
02:23:29,934 --> 02:23:32,971
Said Bron has a plan A,
but doesn't have a B or a C.

2639
02:23:33,037 --> 02:23:35,573
[Booker] Sometimes
you might need a D, E, X.

2640
02:23:35,640 --> 02:23:37,008
[Booker laughs]

2641
02:23:37,075 --> 02:23:39,711
Whatever you got to do,
but I'm going to tell you now,

2642
02:23:39,777 --> 02:23:45,350
Bron Breakker is a guy
that has grown over this last 365 days.

2643
02:23:45,416 --> 02:23:47,318
He was a kid when he walked in the door,

2644
02:23:47,385 --> 02:23:51,389
but right now, like I say, Bron Breakker
is a kid that's on a fast track.

2645
02:23:51,456 --> 02:23:53,758
It's not a marathon,
it's a sprint right here.

2646
02:23:53,825 --> 02:23:55,593
[Vic] Nice northern light's suplex
with a bridge,

2647
02:23:55,660 --> 02:23:57,729
and a cover
and a quick kick out by Dragunov.

2648
02:23:57,795 --> 02:23:59,364
McDonagh has come in here

2649
02:23:59,430 --> 02:24:03,167
and I think to the shock and awe
of the NXT Universe

2650
02:24:03,234 --> 02:24:06,104
has done exactly what he said
he was going to do,

2651
02:24:06,170 --> 02:24:07,839
take it to both these superstars.

2652
02:24:07,905 --> 02:24:09,374
He is sticking to his plan.

2653
02:24:09,707 --> 02:24:12,477
[Booker] Something about McDonagh,
when I saw him last week

2654
02:24:12,543 --> 02:24:16,381
when he had that tomboyish jacket on

2655
02:24:16,447 --> 02:24:18,516
looking very debonair.

2656
02:24:18,950 --> 02:24:22,820
This kid right here,
he could be the flavor of the month,

2657
02:24:22,887 --> 02:24:24,389
just got to get through this match.

2658
02:24:24,455 --> 02:24:27,225
[Vic] McDonagh
beat Tyler Bate for this opportunity.

2659
02:24:27,291 --> 02:24:30,528
He was very upset
that Dragunov stepped into the spotlight

2660
02:24:30,928 --> 02:24:32,930
forcing this Triple Threat Matchup,

2661
02:24:32,997 --> 02:24:37,468
and it's McDonagh who cherishes
the fact that he hurt Dragunov,

2662
02:24:37,535 --> 02:24:41,005
that he beat down Dragunov,
that he sidelined Dragunov.

2663
02:24:41,072 --> 02:24:41,973
He cherishes it.

2664
02:24:42,040 --> 02:24:44,342
[Booker] McDonagh is in great shape.

2665
02:24:44,409 --> 02:24:47,812
Right now, his balance is on point.

2666
02:24:47,879 --> 02:24:49,881
-[Vic] Nice.
-[Booker] His timing is better.

2667
02:24:49,947 --> 02:24:52,050
-[Booker] We got a cover.
-[Vic] Into the cover.

2668
02:24:52,116 --> 02:24:53,451
-[Booker] Oh.
-[Vic] Kick out by Dragunov.

2669
02:24:53,518 --> 02:24:55,386
Breakker doesn't need to be factored

2670
02:24:55,453 --> 02:24:57,455
in the decision to lose his title,

2671
02:24:57,522 --> 02:25:01,693
and McDonagh was one second
to be a champion.

2672
02:25:01,759 --> 02:25:05,029
[Booker] That's the one thing
about match ups like this,

2673
02:25:05,096 --> 02:25:06,831
never liked going into them

2674
02:25:06,898 --> 02:25:09,534
because you never know exactly
what's going to happen,

2675
02:25:09,600 --> 02:25:12,070
that's why you got to just go all out.

2676
02:25:12,136 --> 02:25:14,338
Where is Breakker right now?

2677
02:25:14,405 --> 02:25:16,474
[Vic] You see the pain etched
on the face of Dragunov,

2678
02:25:16,541 --> 02:25:17,842
but I'm glad you bring up Breakker

2679
02:25:17,909 --> 02:25:20,011
because McDonagh
has said about both these superstars,

2680
02:25:20,078 --> 02:25:21,212
he has learned so much.

2681
02:25:21,279 --> 02:25:22,680
He's learned how to destroy the other one.

2682
02:25:22,747 --> 02:25:25,950
How much do you learn about an opponent
after just one match?

2683
02:25:26,017 --> 02:25:31,222
[Booker] Sometimes
it's not about watching or having a match,

2684
02:25:31,289 --> 02:25:33,191
it's about studying those matches.

2685
02:25:33,257 --> 02:25:36,794
It's about looking at everything
your opponent does well,

2686
02:25:36,861 --> 02:25:39,530
and like that,
Bron Breakker just got caught.

2687
02:25:40,131 --> 02:25:41,699
[Vic] You asked where Bron was.

2688
02:25:41,766 --> 02:25:44,202
We just saw him for a moment,
and McDonagh…

2689
02:25:44,268 --> 02:25:46,337
Oh, nice kick.

2690
02:25:46,637 --> 02:25:49,006
Again just trying to fight off everyone.

2691
02:25:49,607 --> 02:25:51,576
-Look at the innovative offense.
-[Booker] Beautiful.

2692
02:25:51,642 --> 02:25:52,643
Wow.

2693
02:25:52,710 --> 02:25:55,179
[Vic] McDonagh a surgeon inside the ring.

2694
02:25:55,246 --> 02:25:59,250
[Booker] McDonagh said he was coming in
and he was coming to win tonight.

2695
02:25:59,317 --> 02:26:02,320
This kid has nothing
but confidence on his side.

2696
02:26:02,386 --> 02:26:04,489
I'm going to tell you right now,

2697
02:26:04,555 --> 02:26:07,592
if I was a betting man,
I might be putting my money

2698
02:26:07,658 --> 02:26:10,061
on this kid right here, JD McDonagh.

2699
02:26:10,128 --> 02:26:12,363
[Vic] This
is a terrifying Triple Threat Matchup.

2700
02:26:12,430 --> 02:26:13,898
Now looking for the devil inside.

2701
02:26:13,965 --> 02:26:15,833
Looking for the devil inside is McDonagh.

2702
02:26:15,900 --> 02:26:18,569
Can he hit it?
If he hits it this one could be over.

2703
02:26:18,636 --> 02:26:20,271
Dragunov, who has it scouted,

2704
02:26:20,338 --> 02:26:22,306
trying to counter somehow, someway,

2705
02:26:22,373 --> 02:26:24,809
and Breakker just drops everyone.

2706
02:26:24,876 --> 02:26:27,845
[Booker] Now
with the shaggy ducky quack quack moment

2707
02:26:27,912 --> 02:26:29,547
of this match right there,

2708
02:26:29,614 --> 02:26:32,183
that double clothesline by Bron Breakker.

2709
02:26:32,450 --> 02:26:36,354
[Vic] Breakker now turning
into a human bulldozer…

2710
02:26:37,788 --> 02:26:38,890
[JD screams] Oh!

2711
02:26:40,992 --> 02:26:45,463
…and taking a page
out of his uncle and father's playbook.

2712
02:26:45,530 --> 02:26:47,265
-[Booker] Oh.
-[Vic] Pure power.

2713
02:26:47,331 --> 02:26:49,967
[Booker] You see that Bron Breakker
just popped the hips.

2714
02:26:50,034 --> 02:26:53,971
You don't see an over-the-head
belly-to-belly suplex like that normally.

2715
02:26:54,238 --> 02:26:58,109
This kid right here,
the dexterity of this kid, Bron Breakker,

2716
02:26:58,176 --> 02:26:59,710
is unbelievable.

2717
02:26:59,777 --> 02:27:01,746
[Vic] Breakker able to counter.
Look at Dragunov.

2718
02:27:01,813 --> 02:27:03,648
Swing and a miss and gets caught.

2719
02:27:03,714 --> 02:27:05,416
-Goes for the ride.
-[Booker] Bad move.

2720
02:27:06,017 --> 02:27:07,185
[crowd barking]

2721
02:27:07,351 --> 02:27:11,656
[Vic] The scary power of Breakker
on display in this match up.

2722
02:27:11,722 --> 02:27:12,823
[Booker] Look at him.

2723
02:27:12,890 --> 02:27:14,225
[Vic] Not only that. Bam.

2724
02:27:14,292 --> 02:27:16,394
Followed up with a second.

2725
02:27:16,627 --> 02:27:20,765
You mentioned the explosiveness of Bron
with those hips.

2726
02:27:20,832 --> 02:27:22,900
Is that what separates him
from everyone else?

2727
02:27:22,967 --> 02:27:24,001
[Booker] Let me tell you.

2728
02:27:24,068 --> 02:27:27,171
That right there,
that's in his DNA, it's in his blood.

2729
02:27:27,238 --> 02:27:28,272
[Vic] Oh, sure.

2730
02:27:28,339 --> 02:27:31,742
[Booker] Uncle Scotty
was the master at that right there.

2731
02:27:31,809 --> 02:27:34,245
-[Vic] Oh.
-[Booker] Beautiful clothesline.

2732
02:27:34,312 --> 02:27:37,248
Reminds me of that dog-faced gremlin,
Rick Steiner.

2733
02:27:37,315 --> 02:27:40,384
[Vic] Breakker never wants
to turn away a challenge, but look.

2734
02:27:40,451 --> 02:27:41,752
From behind, McDonagh.

2735
02:27:41,819 --> 02:27:44,222
Trying to steal one was McDonagh.

2736
02:27:44,388 --> 02:27:46,224
[crowd cheering]

2737
02:27:47,191 --> 02:27:48,726
[Vic] JD out of dodge.

2738
02:27:49,527 --> 02:27:51,195
-[Booker] Took a hard fall.
-[Vic] Certainly.

2739
02:27:51,262 --> 02:27:54,365
But focusing back in
on the action from JD.

2740
02:27:54,432 --> 02:27:56,467
[Booker] Beautiful forearm by Dragunov.

2741
02:27:56,534 --> 02:28:00,304
[Vic] Dragunov looking for a suplex,
trying to hoist up Breakker.

2742
02:28:00,371 --> 02:28:02,473
-Breakker trying to overpower…
-[Vic] What…

2743
02:28:02,540 --> 02:28:04,208
[Vic] And successfully does.

2744
02:28:04,275 --> 02:28:07,778
As I mentioned, Breakker
never shy away from a challenge,

2745
02:28:07,845 --> 02:28:10,948
welcomes all competition with some life.

2746
02:28:11,015 --> 02:28:11,949
[Booker] Beautiful.

2747
02:28:12,016 --> 02:28:15,720
[Vic] He certainly has been against
a lot of international foes as of late,

2748
02:28:15,786 --> 02:28:17,455
and McDonagh breaking up the count.

2749
02:28:17,889 --> 02:28:19,156
-Turning up.
-[Vic] Again.

2750
02:28:19,223 --> 02:28:22,260
-Is this the strategy at this point?
-[Booker] Took another bad spill.

2751
02:28:22,326 --> 02:28:24,895
McDonagh took another bad spill.
I don't know what it was.

2752
02:28:24,962 --> 02:28:28,232
[Vic] McDonagh just laughing, smiling,

2753
02:28:28,299 --> 02:28:31,702
almost frustrating Bron Breakker
in the center of the ring.

2754
02:28:32,169 --> 02:28:33,638
Picking his spots

2755
02:28:34,038 --> 02:28:34,939
is McDonagh,

2756
02:28:35,006 --> 02:28:36,941
and you just saw the eyes of the champion.

2757
02:28:37,008 --> 02:28:39,243
As I mentioned,
those international foes, bate,

2758
02:28:39,310 --> 02:28:43,247
McDonagh unified the NXT
and NXT United Kingdom championships,

2759
02:28:43,314 --> 02:28:45,182
but right now in there with Dragunov.

2760
02:28:45,249 --> 02:28:47,118
Dragunov
has been waiting for this match up,

2761
02:28:47,184 --> 02:28:49,353
waiting to get moment with Breakker

2762
02:28:49,420 --> 02:28:50,922
inside the squared circle,

2763
02:28:50,988 --> 02:28:52,223
and Dragunov now

2764
02:28:52,290 --> 02:28:53,524
is trying to counter.

2765
02:28:53,591 --> 02:28:57,061
Breaker showcasing that strength.
Gets caught and might get put to sleep.

2766
02:28:57,128 --> 02:29:01,165
[Booker] Dragunov tried to drag Bron
down to the ground.

2767
02:29:01,232 --> 02:29:02,333
That didn't work.

2768
02:29:02,400 --> 02:29:04,001
Bron took up and over

2769
02:29:04,068 --> 02:29:07,805
and like that Dragunov
is in total control.

2770
02:29:07,872 --> 02:29:11,142
Dragunov in total
control right now of Bron Breakker.

2771
02:29:11,208 --> 02:29:14,445
Those big elbows to the back of the neck
could be it.

2772
02:29:14,512 --> 02:29:17,715
[Vic] Speaking of the back of the neck.
Again McDonough.

2773
02:29:17,782 --> 02:29:19,216
-Got caught.
-[Booker] Wow.

2774
02:29:19,283 --> 02:29:20,851
[Vic] McDonagh
thought he was picking his spot,

2775
02:29:20,918 --> 02:29:22,086
instead he walked in.

2776
02:29:22,153 --> 02:29:25,323
Now Dragunov
could be trying to tie up McDonagh.

2777
02:29:25,389 --> 02:29:27,692
[Booker] Man.
Look at those elbows right there.

2778
02:29:27,758 --> 02:29:29,727
[Vic] If the referee stops the match up,

2779
02:29:29,794 --> 02:29:31,462
Dragunov would become champion.

2780
02:29:31,529 --> 02:29:32,630
One after another.

2781
02:29:32,930 --> 02:29:35,833
McDonagh
showcasing he's still in the match up,

2782
02:29:35,900 --> 02:29:37,802
got his hands up at the last moment.

2783
02:29:37,868 --> 02:29:41,072
[Booker] McDonagh right now
is dazed and confused.

2784
02:29:41,138 --> 02:29:42,740
If Dragunov could've got a cover,

2785
02:29:42,807 --> 02:29:45,509
he could've perhaps won this match.

2786
02:29:45,576 --> 02:29:46,978
[Vic] When it comes to Dragunov,

2787
02:29:47,044 --> 02:29:49,080
I think we're starting to see it
firsthand here.

2788
02:29:49,413 --> 02:29:52,750
He's just a different breed of intensity.

2789
02:29:52,817 --> 02:29:54,485
[Booker] Look at Dragunov now.

2790
02:29:54,552 --> 02:29:56,287
Dragunov is a guy

2791
02:29:56,354 --> 02:29:58,756
that is thinking about one thing
and that's the gold.

2792
02:29:58,823 --> 02:30:01,125
That's what you got to think about
in a match up like this.

2793
02:30:01,192 --> 02:30:04,028
You got to throw cau…
You got to leave everything in the…

2794
02:30:04,095 --> 02:30:06,764
You cannot fold it in tonight, man.

2795
02:30:06,831 --> 02:30:11,035
[Vic] Main event at Halloween Havoc
still trending number one.

2796
02:30:12,036 --> 02:30:13,571
That knee found all of its mark,

2797
02:30:13,637 --> 02:30:15,873
but now McDonagh there to clean up.

2798
02:30:15,940 --> 02:30:18,009
Looking for again the devil inside.

2799
02:30:18,075 --> 02:30:19,710
[crowd screaming]

2800
02:30:19,777 --> 02:30:21,278
Dragunov having it blocked again.

2801
02:30:21,345 --> 02:30:22,613
Hoisting up McDonagh.

2802
02:30:22,680 --> 02:30:24,448
[crowd cheering]

2803
02:30:24,515 --> 02:30:25,750
[Vic] For Dragunov…

2804
02:30:27,151 --> 02:30:28,252
[Booker] Oh. Wow.

2805
02:30:28,319 --> 02:30:29,887
[Vic] What a combination offense.

2806
02:30:29,954 --> 02:30:31,455
[crowd cheering]

2807
02:30:31,522 --> 02:30:33,791
You take a look at a guy like Dragunov

2808
02:30:33,858 --> 02:30:37,328
who has taken a lot of punishment
in this match up.

2809
02:30:37,928 --> 02:30:40,097
Book, he doesn't feel pain.

2810
02:30:40,264 --> 02:30:42,166
-[Booker] It's not that.
-[Vic] He welcomes it.

2811
02:30:42,233 --> 02:30:44,201
[Booker] It's not that. It's adrenaline.

2812
02:30:44,268 --> 02:30:46,003
-[Vic] What's he doing?
-[Booker] It's the adrenaline…

2813
02:30:46,070 --> 02:30:48,439
-[Vic] What is Dragunov thinking?
-[Booker] Another level.

2814
02:30:48,506 --> 02:30:54,512
He knows winning that gold,
winning that north American championship

2815
02:30:54,578 --> 02:30:56,313
is a life changer, man.

2816
02:30:56,647 --> 02:30:58,349
It's a game changer.

2817
02:30:58,416 --> 02:31:02,253
When you walk in the room,
the people go, "There goes the champ."

2818
02:31:02,319 --> 02:31:03,754
That feels good.

2819
02:31:03,821 --> 02:31:07,091
[Vic] Dragunov
is now looking for the NXT title

2820
02:31:07,158 --> 02:31:10,694
and he had both challengers in his sights.

2821
02:31:10,995 --> 02:31:13,631
[Booker] Coast to coast, baby.

2822
02:31:13,697 --> 02:31:15,132
[Vic] All three men down.

2823
02:31:15,199 --> 02:31:17,401
All three men showcasing what this match up

2824
02:31:17,468 --> 02:31:22,073
has taken out of them in our main event
for the NXT Championship

2825
02:31:22,139 --> 02:31:23,641
here at Halloween Havoc,

2826
02:31:23,707 --> 02:31:27,311
but somehow Bron Breakker
is the one who's almost to his feet first.

2827
02:31:27,378 --> 02:31:29,413
[Booker] It tells me that Bron's training

2828
02:31:29,480 --> 02:31:33,050
has been on point to get himself ready
for a match up like this.

2829
02:31:33,117 --> 02:31:35,286
His cardio is definitely there,

2830
02:31:35,352 --> 02:31:37,488
and the fight is still in Bron Breakker.

2831
02:31:38,189 --> 02:31:40,458
Let's see if he can pull this thing off.

2832
02:31:40,524 --> 02:31:44,495
Let's see if he can still walk out
and still the champ.

2833
02:31:45,262 --> 02:31:49,200
[Vic] Dragunov
who hits with destructive intent,

2834
02:31:49,600 --> 02:31:51,969
hits with purpose, but so does Breakker.

2835
02:31:52,670 --> 02:31:57,274
These two
now are just cleaning each other's clocks,

2836
02:31:57,341 --> 02:32:00,044
and you just see the slug fest
breaking out.

2837
02:32:00,110 --> 02:32:02,913
[crowd cheering]

2838
02:32:05,516 --> 02:32:06,984
[crowd clapping]

2839
02:32:07,184 --> 02:32:09,019
[Vic] McDonagh, the cheerleader.

2840
02:32:09,253 --> 02:32:10,321
Take a look at this.

2841
02:32:10,521 --> 02:32:12,089
Playing right into the Irish ace's hand.

2842
02:32:12,156 --> 02:32:13,190
[Booker] It's smart.

2843
02:32:13,257 --> 02:32:17,228
I think this kid, McDonagh,
came in with a plan.

2844
02:32:17,294 --> 02:32:18,829
Let's see if it worked out.

2845
02:32:18,896 --> 02:32:22,800
[crowd chanting]

2846
02:32:22,867 --> 02:32:27,104
[crowd screaming]

2847
02:32:27,404 --> 02:32:29,573
[Vic] Book, you said a plan,
you said smart.

2848
02:32:29,640 --> 02:32:34,478
That plan, time may have expired
on that plan for McDonagh.

2849
02:32:34,545 --> 02:32:37,715
-Turns around…
-[Booker] Oh. Wow.

2850
02:32:37,781 --> 02:32:39,783
[crowd screaming]

2851
02:32:39,950 --> 02:32:42,786
[Booker] McDonagh
got caught up in the lights.

2852
02:32:42,853 --> 02:32:44,488
[McDonagh talks to Bron]

2853
02:32:44,555 --> 02:32:47,258
[crowd screaming]

2854
02:32:47,424 --> 02:32:50,928
[audience] Oh!

2855
02:32:52,363 --> 02:32:54,164
[Vic] Book, I don't mean to be rude,

2856
02:32:54,231 --> 02:32:56,667
but I don't think
this was part of McDonagh's plan.

2857
02:32:56,734 --> 02:32:57,868
[Booker] You know what?

2858
02:32:58,068 --> 02:32:59,470
I don't think so either.

2859
02:32:59,537 --> 02:33:00,604
[Vic] Oh!

2860
02:33:00,671 --> 02:33:06,911
[audience] Oh!

2861
02:33:08,646 --> 02:33:10,314
[crowd screaming]

2862
02:33:10,481 --> 02:33:11,882
God, that was hot.

2863
02:33:12,049 --> 02:33:13,751
[crowd screaming]

2864
02:33:14,518 --> 02:33:15,886
[Vic] Tossed out

2865
02:33:17,488 --> 02:33:19,123
is McDonagh,

2866
02:33:19,523 --> 02:33:21,492
and I'm taking a look.

2867
02:33:24,328 --> 02:33:26,497
McDonagh's chest bright red,

2868
02:33:26,564 --> 02:33:28,866
and we're back down to two,

2869
02:33:29,633 --> 02:33:31,602
and neither of these superstars

2870
02:33:31,669 --> 02:33:33,404
would have it any other way.

2871
02:33:33,470 --> 02:33:34,705
[Booker] Here we go.

2872
02:33:34,772 --> 02:33:35,739
Here we go.

2873
02:33:35,806 --> 02:33:36,941
There's a fight coming.

2874
02:33:37,241 --> 02:33:41,178
[crowd chanting]

2875
02:33:41,412 --> 02:33:44,081
[Vic] As I mentioned,
it was Dragunov who had relinquish

2876
02:33:44,148 --> 02:33:48,018
the NXT United Kingdom title this summer
due to a severe ankle injury.

2877
02:33:48,085 --> 02:33:49,553
This is his chance of redemption.

2878
02:33:49,620 --> 02:33:53,123
First chance to get back the gold.
And right now he is wearing down Breakker.

2879
02:33:53,190 --> 02:33:56,727
Could we be on the verge of Dragunov
becoming the NXT champion?

2880
02:33:56,794 --> 02:33:59,330
[Booker] I tell you those knee and elbows
behind the…

2881
02:33:59,396 --> 02:34:01,565
behind the ear
could knock the equilibrium out,

2882
02:34:01,632 --> 02:34:06,270
and right now Bron Breakker
is on dream street.

2883
02:34:06,337 --> 02:34:07,471
-[Vic] Certainly.
-[Booker] Here we go.

2884
02:34:07,538 --> 02:34:09,573
[Vic] Breakker
still hasn't fallen off his feet,

2885
02:34:09,640 --> 02:34:11,575
and then Breakker answers back.

2886
02:34:11,642 --> 02:34:14,545
[Booker] Big clothesline by Bron Breakker.

2887
02:34:14,945 --> 02:34:19,049
[crowd screaming]

2888
02:34:20,484 --> 02:34:23,153
[Vic] Breakker showcasing that raw power.

2889
02:34:23,587 --> 02:34:26,523
[Booker] Wow.
McDonagh right at the last minute.

2890
02:34:26,590 --> 02:34:29,093
[Vic] Dropping the champion,

2891
02:34:29,260 --> 02:34:30,828
and once again all three men down.

2892
02:34:31,028 --> 02:34:37,901
[crowd chants] NXT!

2893
02:34:38,202 --> 02:34:39,970
[Vic] NXT Universe on their feet.

2894
02:34:40,037 --> 02:34:42,506
What a night
it has been at Halloween Havoc.

2895
02:34:42,573 --> 02:34:45,242
This is the NXT Championship match up,

2896
02:34:45,309 --> 02:34:47,845
and here could've been a turning moment
in the match up.

2897
02:34:48,112 --> 02:34:52,016
McDonagh dropping Breakker
who dropped Dragunov,

2898
02:34:52,082 --> 02:34:53,851
and now it's McDonagh

2899
02:34:53,917 --> 02:34:56,353
who's in the driver's seat
of this main event.

2900
02:34:56,420 --> 02:34:57,588
[Booker] I'll say it again.

2901
02:34:57,655 --> 02:35:01,358
This kid right here,
McDonagh, is a different type of breed.

2902
02:35:01,959 --> 02:35:06,964
If you find yourself in his cross hairs,
he's going to make that shot.

2903
02:35:07,031 --> 02:35:08,399
He's going to pull the trigger,

2904
02:35:08,465 --> 02:35:11,368
but right now, Bron Breakker
is trying to finish this thing.

2905
02:35:12,403 --> 02:35:16,206
[Vic] Breakker…
Got to keep eyes in the back of your head.

2906
02:35:16,273 --> 02:35:20,277
Dragunov is trying to peel Breakker away.

2907
02:35:20,344 --> 02:35:21,812
Breakker creates some separation,

2908
02:35:21,879 --> 02:35:25,916
and now Breakker
could be looking for that Frankensteiner.

2909
02:35:25,983 --> 02:35:27,651
-Into a power bomb.
-[Booker] Wow.

2910
02:35:27,718 --> 02:35:30,120
-[Vic] Have you ever see that?
-[Booker] Never.

2911
02:35:30,187 --> 02:35:32,122
-[Vic] Have you ever seen that?
-[Booker] Never.

2912
02:35:33,590 --> 02:35:39,997
[crowd chants] Holy…

2913
02:35:43,267 --> 02:35:46,503
[crowd cheering and clapping]

2914
02:35:46,570 --> 02:35:48,472
[Vic] Heads up offense by Dragunov

2915
02:35:48,539 --> 02:35:51,809
to have the presence of mind
to catch McDonagh.

2916
02:35:52,543 --> 02:35:59,516
[crowd chants] This is awesome!

2917
02:36:03,587 --> 02:36:04,621
[Vic] This indeed is,

2918
02:36:04,688 --> 02:36:06,690
but this is the main event
of Halloween Havoc

2919
02:36:06,757 --> 02:36:09,259
as we've stated for the NXT Championship.

2920
02:36:09,326 --> 02:36:10,761
Bron does not need to be factored

2921
02:36:10,828 --> 02:36:13,297
in the decision to lose his championship.

2922
02:36:13,364 --> 02:36:14,965
Right now,

2923
02:36:15,699 --> 02:36:18,502
it might be more about will than skill.

2924
02:36:18,569 --> 02:36:20,537
[Booker] Right now, it's breaking down.

2925
02:36:20,604 --> 02:36:25,075
It's going to come down
to who wants it the most right here

2926
02:36:25,142 --> 02:36:26,677
tonight at Halloween Havoc.

2927
02:36:26,744 --> 02:36:28,145
[Vic] They drop Dragunov,

2928
02:36:28,212 --> 02:36:30,147
and now they
are looking to drop one another.

2929
02:36:30,214 --> 02:36:32,549
[crowd screaming]

2930
02:36:32,616 --> 02:36:35,352
[Vic] There's that unbridled rage
from Dragunov

2931
02:36:35,419 --> 02:36:37,254
boiling out of his body.

2932
02:36:37,321 --> 02:36:38,856
[Booker] Wow.

2933
02:36:39,456 --> 02:36:40,691
[Vic laughs]

2934
02:36:40,758 --> 02:36:42,559
[Booker] Big chops by Dragunov.

2935
02:36:43,260 --> 02:36:44,661
[Dragunov screams]

2936
02:36:44,728 --> 02:36:45,629
[Booker] Big senton.

2937
02:36:45,696 --> 02:36:47,698
[Vic] Oh. Crash and burn.

2938
02:36:48,866 --> 02:36:49,900
I don't know if Breakker

2939
02:36:49,967 --> 02:36:52,836
might have been looking for that spear
in the moment,

2940
02:36:52,903 --> 02:36:54,872
but both men to the outside.

2941
02:36:54,938 --> 02:36:58,175
[Booker] He's going for it,
but the timing of it was not right.

2942
02:36:58,242 --> 02:37:00,244
The spacing of Dragunov.

2943
02:37:00,310 --> 02:37:02,946
He just wasn't in the right spot.

2944
02:37:03,013 --> 02:37:05,048
[Vic] No count out, no disqualification.

2945
02:37:05,115 --> 02:37:06,784
Pinfall or submission
in the center of the ring.

2946
02:37:06,850 --> 02:37:09,520
Dragunov now had his hands on Breakker.

2947
02:37:09,586 --> 02:37:11,789
McDonagh though drops Dragunov.

2948
02:37:11,855 --> 02:37:15,159
[Booker] McDonagh right now
is taking advantage of the situation,

2949
02:37:15,225 --> 02:37:17,795
and what a situation it is.

2950
02:37:17,861 --> 02:37:19,229
[crowd cheering]

2951
02:37:19,296 --> 02:37:23,567
[Vic] Somehow, someway,
who's the man standing?

2952
02:37:24,234 --> 02:37:28,005
[Booker] The thing
is the last one breathing right now.

2953
02:37:28,238 --> 02:37:32,342
The last one breathing is JD McDonagh.

2954
02:37:32,576 --> 02:37:34,545
[Vic] McDonagh gets the champion
back into the ring,

2955
02:37:34,611 --> 02:37:36,113
and you can see McDonagh

2956
02:37:36,180 --> 02:37:38,916
feeling the effects
of this Triple Threat Match.

2957
02:37:39,316 --> 02:37:42,686
Feeling the effects
of the power from Breakker,

2958
02:37:42,853 --> 02:37:44,888
the power from Dragunov.

2959
02:37:44,955 --> 02:37:47,324
As he pulls himself to the top,

2960
02:37:47,391 --> 02:37:49,126
but a little bit too much time.

2961
02:37:49,193 --> 02:37:51,695
Breakker
has been in this deep waters before.

2962
02:37:51,762 --> 02:37:53,464
Breakker swam with the sharks,

2963
02:37:53,530 --> 02:37:55,732
and right now,
Breakker looking to stand tall.

2964
02:37:55,799 --> 02:37:56,934
[Booker] Let me tell you.

2965
02:37:57,000 --> 02:37:59,570
Triple Threat Matches,
you just got to be in the right place

2966
02:37:59,636 --> 02:38:00,671
at the right time.

2967
02:38:00,737 --> 02:38:02,606
[Vic] Dragunov
chopps the knees of Breakker.

2968
02:38:02,673 --> 02:38:06,310
[Booker] A lot of fluid motion
right now in this match up.

2969
02:38:06,376 --> 02:38:07,744
[crowd screaming]

2970
02:38:08,779 --> 02:38:10,848
[Vic] Dragunov carrying out Breakker.

2971
02:38:10,914 --> 02:38:12,583
-[Vic] Oh.
-[Booker] He lands it.

2972
02:38:12,783 --> 02:38:14,318
[Vic] Cover. Count.

2973
02:38:14,384 --> 02:38:15,886
Title. Kick out.

2974
02:38:15,953 --> 02:38:18,188
[Booker] Not enough to stop the champion.

2975
02:38:18,255 --> 02:38:22,459
[Vic] That could be a knockout.
A cover and another near fall.

2976
02:38:22,926 --> 02:38:24,094
450.

2977
02:38:24,161 --> 02:38:24,995
[Booker laughs]

2978
02:38:25,062 --> 02:38:27,464
-[Vic] Is this going to be it?
-[Booker] That got to be it.

2979
02:38:27,631 --> 02:38:31,768
-What? You got to be kidding me.
-[Vic] Heads up for another cover.

2980
02:38:31,835 --> 02:38:35,005
-Another count, and another near fall.
-[Booker] What a match.

2981
02:38:35,839 --> 02:38:37,541
What a match.

2982
02:38:37,908 --> 02:38:40,043
This kid, McDonagh, is bringing the noise.

2983
02:38:40,944 --> 02:38:43,013
-I'm going to tell you…
-[Vic] Brainbuster.

2984
02:38:43,080 --> 02:38:44,948
-[Booker] He has all the tools.
-[Vic] Cover.

2985
02:38:45,015 --> 02:38:46,650
Another count. Is it enough?

2986
02:38:46,717 --> 02:38:49,052
Another kick out by Breakker.

2987
02:38:49,119 --> 02:38:53,857
[Booker] Let me tell you something.
McDonagh is into to my favorite five.

2988
02:38:53,924 --> 02:38:55,225
I'm telling you.

2989
02:38:55,292 --> 02:38:57,528
This kid is something else.

2990
02:38:57,594 --> 02:38:59,696
[Vic] It was Dragunov
looking for the knockout.

2991
02:38:59,763 --> 02:39:00,764
Not to be outdone,

2992
02:39:00,831 --> 02:39:03,567
right spot, right time for McDonagh.

2993
02:39:03,634 --> 02:39:04,868
Another near fall.

2994
02:39:04,935 --> 02:39:07,337
McDonagh
then showcasing power and strength

2995
02:39:07,404 --> 02:39:09,907
dropping with a brain buster,
into the cover,

2996
02:39:09,973 --> 02:39:13,610
but again,
not enough to keep Bron Breakker down.

2997
02:39:13,677 --> 02:39:16,280
[Booker] McDonagh
did everything right right there.

2998
02:39:16,346 --> 02:39:17,648
He did everything.

2999
02:39:17,714 --> 02:39:19,716
He should be champion right now,

3000
02:39:19,783 --> 02:39:21,785
but that's just the toughness

3001
02:39:21,852 --> 02:39:25,055
of a man by the name of Bron Breakker.

3002
02:39:25,122 --> 02:39:26,590
[crowd screaming]

3003
02:39:26,657 --> 02:39:27,891
[Vic] You talk about toughness,

3004
02:39:27,958 --> 02:39:32,229
how about just pure relentlessness

3005
02:39:32,296 --> 02:39:34,264
out of McDonagh.

3006
02:39:34,331 --> 02:39:38,835
Strike after strike,
and again looking for the devil inside.

3007
02:39:39,236 --> 02:39:41,271
The ribs, the back,

3008
02:39:41,338 --> 02:39:44,274
everything taken out of McDonagh
into this moment.

3009
02:39:44,341 --> 02:39:46,276
[crowd screaming]

3010
02:39:46,343 --> 02:39:47,511
[Vic] Say what you will.

3011
02:39:47,578 --> 02:39:49,112
You can't question the heart
and dedication

3012
02:39:49,179 --> 02:39:51,248
of any of these three superstars.

3013
02:39:51,315 --> 02:39:53,550
Dragunov with one holding on.

3014
02:39:54,151 --> 02:39:55,586
[McDonagh screams]

3015
02:39:55,652 --> 02:39:56,853
[Vic] Could be looking for two.

3016
02:39:56,920 --> 02:39:59,489
Trying to pull himself up
along with McDonagh.

3017
02:39:59,556 --> 02:40:01,391
-[Booker] Are you kidding me?
-[Vic] Bum.

3018
02:40:01,458 --> 02:40:03,360
McDonagh had this thing won,

3019
02:40:03,427 --> 02:40:07,965
and right now
Dragunov says, "Not just yet."

3020
02:40:08,265 --> 02:40:10,167
[Vic] Could be looking for the trifecta.

3021
02:40:10,968 --> 02:40:16,573
Dragunov trying to pull McDonagh up.

3022
02:40:16,640 --> 02:40:18,175
-Breakker.
-[Booker] Oh, no.

3023
02:40:18,241 --> 02:40:20,944
No way, no way.

3024
02:40:21,378 --> 02:40:22,379
Wow.

3025
02:40:22,846 --> 02:40:24,548
[crowd screaming]

3026
02:40:24,615 --> 02:40:28,251
[crowd barking]

3027
02:40:28,919 --> 02:40:30,253
[Booker] What the hell?

3028
02:40:30,320 --> 02:40:31,989
[crowd barking]

3029
02:40:32,222 --> 02:40:34,558
[crowd screaming]

3030
02:40:34,758 --> 02:40:37,527
[Vic] To the top goes the champion.

3031
02:40:37,594 --> 02:40:39,196
Tip of the cap to his father.

3032
02:40:39,262 --> 02:40:42,132
A dog faced-gremlin size bulldog,

3033
02:40:42,366 --> 02:40:45,702
and now Bron looking to break Dragunov.

3034
02:40:45,769 --> 02:40:48,472
[Booker] I would not want to be Dragunov
right now

3035
02:40:48,538 --> 02:40:50,641
because something is about to happen.

3036
02:40:50,707 --> 02:40:51,775
[Vic] Up and down.

3037
02:40:51,842 --> 02:40:53,276
There it goes. McDonagh.

3038
02:40:53,343 --> 02:40:55,145
McDonagh tosses out Breakker.

3039
02:40:55,212 --> 02:40:57,848
He's going to steal it. No.

3040
02:40:57,914 --> 02:41:00,017
Oh. Kick out.

3041
02:41:00,751 --> 02:41:03,387
[Booker] That was a great strategy
by McDonagh.

3042
02:41:03,453 --> 02:41:06,123
He should've had it won right there.

3043
02:41:06,189 --> 02:41:08,859
The toughness of Dragunov to kick out.

3044
02:41:08,925 --> 02:41:10,193
These three men.

3045
02:41:10,527 --> 02:41:11,828
What a match up.

3046
02:41:12,095 --> 02:41:14,464
What a night, what a fight.

3047
02:41:14,531 --> 02:41:17,267
[crowd chanting] Dragunov!

3048
02:41:17,334 --> 02:41:21,304
[Vic] What must be going
through the mind of McDonagh?

3049
02:41:21,571 --> 02:41:23,640
That might have been
McDonagh's best opportunity.

3050
02:41:23,707 --> 02:41:25,509
Book, you've been in these matches.

3051
02:41:25,575 --> 02:41:27,878
You know when you've had your best shot,

3052
02:41:27,944 --> 02:41:29,012
your best opportunity.

3053
02:41:29,079 --> 02:41:33,583
[Booker] In a situation like this,
McDonagh just needs to keep it together.

3054
02:41:33,650 --> 02:41:36,153
-Wait a minute.
-[Vic] Uh-oh.

3055
02:41:36,219 --> 02:41:38,822
[crowd cheering]

3056
02:41:38,889 --> 02:41:40,824
[Vic] This is that moment for McDonagh.

3057
02:41:40,891 --> 02:41:43,260
These are the deep waters
Breakker's been in,

3058
02:41:43,326 --> 02:41:46,329
and Breakker
just threw McDonagh out of the ring.

3059
02:41:46,396 --> 02:41:47,931
[crowd cheering]

3060
02:41:47,998 --> 02:41:51,535
[Vic] Now setting his sights on Dragunov.

3061
02:41:52,035 --> 02:41:53,003
[Booker] Move.

3062
02:41:53,070 --> 02:41:54,971
Wow. Beautiful.

3063
02:41:55,038 --> 02:41:56,173
[Vic] Counter.

3064
02:41:56,339 --> 02:41:59,042
[crowd screaming]

3065
02:41:59,209 --> 02:42:00,444
[Vic] Dragunov now

3066
02:42:01,845 --> 02:42:04,514
feeding off the energy
of the NXT Universe.

3067
02:42:04,581 --> 02:42:05,682
What goes up.

3068
02:42:06,183 --> 02:42:07,484
Big senton.

3069
02:42:08,018 --> 02:42:08,952
[Booker] Cover him.

3070
02:42:09,019 --> 02:42:10,053
Cover him.

3071
02:42:10,120 --> 02:42:11,922
What are you thinking?
You need to cover him.

3072
02:42:11,988 --> 02:42:14,725
Think about your son at home.
Think about dreams coming true.

3073
02:42:14,791 --> 02:42:15,692
Pick your spot.

3074
02:42:15,759 --> 02:42:17,427
Point out your mark.

3075
02:42:17,861 --> 02:42:19,730
Torpedo moskau.

3076
02:42:19,963 --> 02:42:21,164
Dragunov.

3077
02:42:21,231 --> 02:42:23,700
[Booker] That could be it.
We're going home. Yes.

3078
02:42:23,767 --> 02:42:24,935
[Vic] Cover for the title.

3079
02:42:25,602 --> 02:42:26,870
You got to be kidding me.

3080
02:42:26,937 --> 02:42:28,905
McDonagh caught the ref's hand.

3081
02:42:28,972 --> 02:42:31,241
That was going to be three.

3082
02:42:31,308 --> 02:42:35,011
[Booker] What a genius move
by JD McDonagh.

3083
02:42:35,078 --> 02:42:38,482
[crowd chants] This is awesome!

3084
02:42:39,015 --> 02:42:42,152
[Vic] Look at McDonagh. Look at Dragunov.

3085
02:42:43,053 --> 02:42:44,921
The stare, the glare.

3086
02:42:46,123 --> 02:42:47,858
These two are going to swing it out.

3087
02:42:47,924 --> 02:42:49,593
[Booker] Yes, indeed.

3088
02:42:49,659 --> 02:42:50,761
This is a donnybrook.

3089
02:42:50,827 --> 02:42:52,729
It's a fight. Let me tell you.

3090
02:42:52,796 --> 02:42:56,333
[Vic] Dragunov had the title won
if it wasn't for McDonagh.

3091
02:42:56,399 --> 02:42:59,269
[Booker] McDonagh right now,
even though he looks down,

3092
02:42:59,336 --> 02:43:02,239
like I say,
this kid has a ace up his sleeve.

3093
02:43:02,305 --> 02:43:05,275
I got my money on McDonagh
here in this match tonight

3094
02:43:05,342 --> 02:43:07,110
to walk away NXT champion.

3095
02:43:07,177 --> 02:43:08,779
[Vic] That's why
they call him the Irish ace.

3096
02:43:08,845 --> 02:43:11,214
He's always looking, he's always thinking.

3097
02:43:11,281 --> 02:43:12,616
[Booker] Oh. Wow.

3098
02:43:13,083 --> 02:43:13,917
[Booker laughs]

3099
02:43:13,984 --> 02:43:15,485
-McDonagh again.
-[Booker] Wow.

3100
02:43:17,254 --> 02:43:19,322
[Booker] You got to be…
Didn't I tell you?

3101
02:43:19,389 --> 02:43:20,590
[Vic] You did.

3102
02:43:20,657 --> 02:43:24,327
[crowd chants] NXT!

3103
02:43:24,394 --> 02:43:26,496
[Vic] NXT Universe on their feet.

3104
02:43:27,731 --> 02:43:30,534
But what's going through the mind
of McDonagh?

3105
02:43:30,600 --> 02:43:31,635
[Booker] Let me say something.

3106
02:43:31,701 --> 02:43:32,969
[Vic] McDonagh's done this before.

3107
02:43:33,036 --> 02:43:37,607
McDonagh said he wanted to end the career
of Dragunov.

3108
02:43:37,674 --> 02:43:40,443
He wanted to put Dragunov
back on the shelf,

3109
02:43:40,510 --> 02:43:44,080
and that might be going through his mind
right now at this moment.

3110
02:43:44,147 --> 02:43:46,183
This isn't about a damn title
for McDonagh.

3111
02:43:46,249 --> 02:43:48,218
This is about taking a man's career.

3112
02:43:48,285 --> 02:43:50,554
[Booker] There's something special
about this kid.

3113
02:43:50,620 --> 02:43:54,558
[Booker] There's something special
about this kid, JD McDonagh.

3114
02:43:54,824 --> 02:43:57,894
This is about going out here,
and who cares about the fans,

3115
02:43:57,961 --> 02:44:01,031
that's what this means.

3116
02:44:01,097 --> 02:44:02,766
[crowd screaming]

3117
02:44:02,832 --> 02:44:03,867
[Vic] Hold on.

3118
02:44:03,934 --> 02:44:05,802
[crowd screaming]

3119
02:44:06,169 --> 02:44:07,370
[Dragunov screams]

3120
02:44:07,904 --> 02:44:09,472
[Vic] Laying it all on the line.

3121
02:44:09,539 --> 02:44:12,108
Dragunov sensing it.

3122
02:44:12,175 --> 02:44:14,077
[crowd screaming]

3123
02:44:14,144 --> 02:44:16,613
I don't know.
What is it going to take, Book?

3124
02:44:16,680 --> 02:44:19,182
[Booker] McDonagh
caught the back of his head on the table.

3125
02:44:19,249 --> 02:44:20,550
He could be out.

3126
02:44:20,617 --> 02:44:22,085
Dragunov needs to…

3127
02:44:22,152 --> 02:44:24,621
[Vic] McDonagh's moving a bit,
but to your point.

3128
02:44:24,888 --> 02:44:26,923
I don't know if McDonagh
is going to have enough

3129
02:44:26,990 --> 02:44:28,191
to get back into this match up,

3130
02:44:28,258 --> 02:44:30,660
but I counted McDonagh out here tonight.

3131
02:44:30,727 --> 02:44:34,331
I've been proven wrong,
but I want to focus on the task at hand.

3132
02:44:34,397 --> 02:44:36,099
Look at these two gladiators.

3133
02:44:36,166 --> 02:44:38,535
-Look at these warriors.
-[Booker] Here we go.

3134
02:44:39,035 --> 02:44:41,705
Dragunov say, "Bring it, man".

3135
02:44:41,771 --> 02:44:44,140
And here comes Bron Breakker.

3136
02:44:44,207 --> 02:44:45,942
[referee talking]

3137
02:44:46,009 --> 02:44:47,611
[Dragunov screams]

3138
02:44:47,677 --> 02:44:49,980
[Vic] These two
turning this into a slug fest.

3139
02:44:50,046 --> 02:44:52,582
NXT Universe is on their feet.

3140
02:44:52,649 --> 02:44:55,685
What a main event
this has been for Halloween Havoc.

3141
02:44:55,752 --> 02:44:58,855
Just as terrifying
as we thought it would be, and Dragunov…

3142
02:44:58,922 --> 02:45:01,124
[Booker] Wow. Beautiful counter.

3143
02:45:01,191 --> 02:45:03,159
[Vic] Breakker fighting back.

3144
02:45:03,226 --> 02:45:04,661
What's it going to take?

3145
02:45:04,728 --> 02:45:07,364
Book, what's it going to take?
German suplex.

3146
02:45:07,430 --> 02:45:10,834
[Booker] This kid, Dragunov,
he's got some momentum going right now.

3147
02:45:11,067 --> 02:45:13,837
Bron Breakker
looked like he's in a bit of trouble.

3148
02:45:13,904 --> 02:45:14,971
Did you see the eyes?

3149
02:45:15,038 --> 02:45:17,173
Did you see the eyes on Bron Breakker?

3150
02:45:17,240 --> 02:45:20,911
Right now, he's on that street,
that street called green.

3151
02:45:20,977 --> 02:45:22,646
[crowd cheering]

3152
02:45:22,712 --> 02:45:24,948
[Vic] This could be the moment.

3153
02:45:25,015 --> 02:45:29,185
Dragunov calling for it.

3154
02:45:29,386 --> 02:45:30,854
Setting his sight.

3155
02:45:32,289 --> 02:45:35,992
[Booker] Shucky ducky quack quack moment.

3156
02:45:36,459 --> 02:45:37,427
Cover.

3157
02:45:37,494 --> 02:45:39,696
Breakker overcomes the odds again.

3158
02:45:40,430 --> 02:45:41,865
[Bron Breakker's music plays]

3159
02:45:41,931 --> 02:45:46,536
[announcer] Here is your winner
and still the NXT champion,

3160
02:45:46,603 --> 02:45:49,272
Bron Breakker.

3161
02:45:49,539 --> 02:45:54,277
[Booker] Give credit where credit
is due to all three of these men

3162
02:45:54,344 --> 02:45:57,981
who just went through a demolition derby,
a car crash, Book.

3163
02:45:58,048 --> 02:45:59,983
Whatever the hell you want to call it.

3164
02:46:00,317 --> 02:46:02,585
This was a match,

3165
02:46:02,652 --> 02:46:03,920
this was a main event,

3166
02:46:03,987 --> 02:46:06,122
and this another moment

3167
02:46:06,189 --> 02:46:09,159
about what the future holds in the WWE.

3168
02:46:09,859 --> 02:46:12,796
[Booker] Beautiful work.
-[Vic] Dragunov. Let's go back.

3169
02:46:12,862 --> 02:46:13,930
Thought he had it.

3170
02:46:13,997 --> 02:46:17,834
Right here might have
been the best opportunity for Dragunov,

3171
02:46:18,034 --> 02:46:22,505
but take a look
at that sneaky sinister son of a gun,

3172
02:46:22,706 --> 02:46:24,074
JD McDonagh.

3173
02:46:24,140 --> 02:46:26,876
I don't know if McDonagh
realized what he did

3174
02:46:26,943 --> 02:46:29,546
because he unleashed some offense

3175
02:46:31,481 --> 02:46:33,083
right in front of us

3176
02:46:33,717 --> 02:46:34,751
on Dragunov.

3177
02:46:34,818 --> 02:46:37,754
Then bam. Dragunov risking it all.

3178
02:46:37,821 --> 02:46:39,289
Putting his body on the line.

3179
02:46:39,522 --> 02:46:40,824
Wiping out McDonagh.

3180
02:46:40,890 --> 02:46:43,526
Back in the ring,
this is the closing moments.

3181
02:46:43,593 --> 02:46:47,230
This is when Dragunov
had everything on his side.

3182
02:46:47,497 --> 02:46:49,399
Momentum had swung into this favor

3183
02:46:49,466 --> 02:46:52,168
that he would once again wear gold in NXT.

3184
02:46:52,369 --> 02:46:55,605
Found the mark,
but bam, X was not the spot.

3185
02:46:55,672 --> 02:46:58,808
Another vicious spear from Bron Breakker,

3186
02:46:58,875 --> 02:47:02,679
and Breakker retains the NXT Championship.

3187
02:47:02,746 --> 02:47:03,947
[crowd cheering]

3188
02:47:04,014 --> 02:47:06,783
[crowd barking]

3189
02:47:06,850 --> 02:47:10,286
[Vic] Hats off
to all three of these competitors,

3190
02:47:10,353 --> 02:47:15,658
but in the end, the monster of NXT
is still Bron Breakker.

3191
02:47:15,959 --> 02:47:20,697
[crowd screaming]

3192
02:47:22,966 --> 02:47:25,035
Subtitles: Pawan Gurjar, Faruk Berk
& Josefina Tieppo
