[Vic Joseph] Welcome to NXT.

13
00:00:45,812 --> 00:00:47,514
[music continues]

14
00:00:49,349 --> 00:00:52,919
As you can see, Book,
Schism making their way to the ring,

15
00:00:52,986 --> 00:00:55,688
and there's messages on their masks.

16
00:00:55,755 --> 00:00:58,858
I would assume being sent
to Cameron Grimes' mind games

17
00:00:58,925 --> 00:01:02,295
already being played
by Joe Gacy in Schism.

18
00:01:02,362 --> 00:01:07,834
[Book] Gacy is a very,
very unpredictable individual.

19
00:01:07,901 --> 00:01:12,005
I'm just going to sit back
and see how this thing play out.

20
00:01:12,072 --> 00:01:14,340

21
00:01:17,043 --> 00:01:18,144

22
00:01:18,211 --> 00:01:20,847
[announcer] The following contest
is scheduled for one fall.

23
00:01:20,914 --> 00:01:23,783
Introducing first, representing Schism,

24
00:01:23,850 --> 00:01:26,152
Joe Gacy.

25
00:01:26,219 --> 00:01:28,521
[Vic] One thing we can say
about Gacy and Schism

26
00:01:28,588 --> 00:01:32,892
is they have proven strength in numbers
recently here in NXT.

27
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:35,295
[Book] Yes, indeed.

28
00:01:35,361 --> 00:01:37,297
You're correct on that, Vic.

29
00:01:37,363 --> 00:01:39,532
[music continues]

30
00:01:40,934 --> 00:01:44,971
[Vic] Tonight, this ongoing issue
between Gacy and Cameron Grimes,

31
00:01:45,038 --> 00:01:48,641
according to Ava Raines, comes to an end.

-[crowd cheering]
-[Cameron Grimes' music plays]

33
00:01:56,950 --> 00:01:58,585
[announcer] And his opponent,

34
00:01:58,651 --> 00:02:00,687
Cameron Grimes.

35
00:02:00,753 --> 00:02:03,823
[Vic] Grimes believe Gacy
and the Schism for that matter

36
00:02:03,890 --> 00:02:05,692
were really in his rear-view mirror.

37
00:02:05,758 --> 00:02:08,328
He thought he was done with Schism.

38
00:02:08,394 --> 00:02:12,599
[Book] Well, I must say
I'm highly anticipating this match up.

39
00:02:12,665 --> 00:02:15,902
My first time sitting
at the table watching these two,

40
00:02:15,969 --> 00:02:18,972
let's just say, gentlemen, duke it out.

41
00:02:19,038 --> 00:02:20,373
[Vic] Going one-on-one.

42
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:23,943
Of course, with alluding to the six-man
tag team match several weeks ago

43
00:02:24,010 --> 00:02:28,314
where Cameron Grimes brought in the O.C.
to even the odds

44
00:02:28,381 --> 00:02:30,783
to face Joe Gacy and the Dyad.

45
00:02:31,918 --> 00:02:33,686
We got to call it like we see it.

46
00:02:33,753 --> 00:02:37,423
As you can, see Cameron Grimes
staring a hole into Joe Gacy.

47
00:02:37,490 --> 00:02:41,661
The Schism has used underhanded tactics
to frustrate Cameron Grimes

48
00:02:41,728 --> 00:02:44,797
for several weeks, I should say months.

49
00:02:44,864 --> 00:02:49,335
[Book] Cameron Grimes, let me tell you,
he's not one to play with.

50
00:02:49,402 --> 00:02:52,438
This guy knows every inch of this ring.

51
00:02:52,505 --> 00:02:55,241
He's like he's married
to the squared circle.

52
00:02:55,308 --> 00:02:57,377
Let's see exactly how this thing play out.

53
00:02:57,443 --> 00:02:59,345
-Let's get it going, man.
-[bell rings]

54
00:02:59,412 --> 00:03:01,581
[Vic] What a way to kick off
NXT here tonight.

55
00:03:01,648 --> 00:03:05,385
Grimes already coming out swinging.
No love lost between these two superstars.

56
00:03:05,451 --> 00:03:09,122
Book, before we get too far
into it, do you agree and believe

57
00:03:09,189 --> 00:03:11,925
what Cameron Grimes
tweeted several weeks ago?

58
00:03:11,991 --> 00:03:14,928
Do you believe that Gacy
brainwashed Ava Raine?

59
00:03:14,994 --> 00:03:17,630
[Book] Let me tell you something.
I hope not. Let's just say that.

60
00:03:17,697 --> 00:03:21,100
But this generation Z, man,
it's different.

61
00:03:21,167 --> 00:03:24,837
It's the Twitter world.
It's about Instagram, Facebook.

62
00:03:24,904 --> 00:03:27,874
Everybody wants to be a follower, man.

63
00:03:27,941 --> 00:03:30,743
Nobody wants to be an individual.
It's scary.

64
00:03:30,810 --> 00:03:33,913
[Vic] You see Grimes just yelling at Gacy,

65
00:03:33,980 --> 00:03:37,417
and we should say for Ava,
she has had an agenda against Grimes.

66
00:03:37,483 --> 00:03:40,987
She's done so on social media
in recent days.

67
00:03:41,054 --> 00:03:43,923
And Grimes has not taken his foot
off the gas in this match up.

68
00:03:43,990 --> 00:03:46,492
There was no waiting around
for Cameron Grimes.

69
00:03:46,559 --> 00:03:49,963
He attacked Gacy right out of the gates
as Gacy now turning things around.

70
00:03:50,029 --> 00:03:52,699
[Book] You don't want to mess around
in a match up like this.

71
00:03:52,765 --> 00:03:57,971
You got the Dyad outside the ring.
You got Ava Raine lurking in the wings.

72
00:03:58,037 --> 00:04:01,241
You got to get it done quick, man.

73
00:04:01,307 --> 00:04:03,509
Oh, man. Big shot there
to the back of the neck.

74
00:04:04,777 --> 00:04:08,414
[Vic] In control is Gacy as we see
the rest of Schism on the outside.

75
00:04:08,481 --> 00:04:11,517
A huge night tonight still the NXT.
Cover, got Gacy and a kick out.

76
00:04:11,584 --> 00:04:15,321
NXT women's tag team titles
will be defended in our main event,

77
00:04:15,388 --> 00:04:18,257
and when we talk about championships,
we know next week,

78
00:04:18,324 --> 00:04:21,194
Bron, Von, will meet for the NXT title.

79
00:04:21,260 --> 00:04:23,463
Tonight, they come face-to-face
in the Waller effect.

80
00:04:23,529 --> 00:04:26,232
Look at Grimes, instead of going
for the pin, throwing rights.

81
00:04:26,299 --> 00:04:29,836
[Book] Sometimes you got to beat
the life out of your opponent.

82
00:04:29,902 --> 00:04:32,639
Almost like separate him from himself.

83
00:04:32,705 --> 00:04:35,441
Right now, Cameron Grimes
doing a hell of a job.

84
00:04:35,508 --> 00:04:37,210
Back elbow.

85
00:04:37,277 --> 00:04:40,913
[Vic] Grimes never believed Gacy
and his so-called peaceful approach,

86
00:04:40,980 --> 00:04:42,715
oh, inside the Schism,

87
00:04:42,782 --> 00:04:45,251
and Gacy now quickly
looking for the victory.

88
00:04:45,318 --> 00:04:47,954
Into the cover. Not enough.

89
00:04:48,021 --> 00:04:53,259
[Book] Tell you that was modified,
but modified very well by Gacy.

90
00:04:53,326 --> 00:04:55,862
-[Vic] Look at Gacy.
-Check this out. Bam!

91
00:04:55,928 --> 00:04:58,331
[Vic] Nice modified offense
as you called out, Book.

92
00:04:58,398 --> 00:05:03,703
Does it creep you out when Gacy
talks about Schism being one?

93
00:05:03,770 --> 00:05:05,438
[Gacy yelling]

94
00:05:05,505 --> 00:05:06,906
[Book] You got to understand,

95
00:05:06,973 --> 00:05:10,209
I actually looked up
the definition of dyad,

96
00:05:10,276 --> 00:05:15,081
and it means something that consists of
two elements far apart working together.

97
00:05:15,148 --> 00:05:19,519
That's very dangerous along with Gacy
and that X Factor Ava Raine.

98
00:05:19,585 --> 00:05:21,487
Yes, I believe in it.

99
00:05:21,554 --> 00:05:24,624
[Vic] You talk about Raine
with the addition of Raine to Schism.

100
00:05:24,691 --> 00:05:28,194
It has really brought out
a new viciousness inside of Gacy.

101
00:05:28,261 --> 00:05:32,465
Oh, what a right hand
buckling the knees of Grimes.

102
00:05:33,633 --> 00:05:35,902
For Gacy who talks about acceptance,

103
00:05:35,968 --> 00:05:39,305
he certainly can't comprehend
rejection very well,

104
00:05:39,372 --> 00:05:42,442
as he heard from Grimes,
Grimes who said no,

105
00:05:42,508 --> 00:05:46,045
and Gacy really has had Grimes
in his cross hairs. Nice counter.

106
00:05:46,112 --> 00:05:48,881
Another kick out after one
and both these superstars

107
00:05:48,948 --> 00:05:51,851
just taking it to one another.
What a kick.

108
00:05:51,918 --> 00:05:54,187
[Book] Talk about being in control
right there.

109
00:05:54,253 --> 00:05:57,724
Gacy's always used
to being in control right now.

110
00:06:01,828 --> 00:06:06,132
[Vic] Grimes taking it to Gacy
one-on-one for the last time.

111
00:06:07,900 --> 00:06:09,469
[crowd booing]

112
00:06:09,535 --> 00:06:13,039
[Vic] Back live on NXT. As you witnessed
throughout the commercial break,

113
00:06:13,106 --> 00:06:15,641
Gacy has been in control
of Cameron Grimes,

114
00:06:15,708 --> 00:06:19,011
even yelling, "I told you, Grimes,"
over and over again.

115
00:06:19,078 --> 00:06:22,949
You may hear some rumbling going on here.
Not only is it the NXT universe loud,

116
00:06:23,015 --> 00:06:26,319
but also we're dealing with some
severe weather in the Orlando area,

117
00:06:26,385 --> 00:06:29,555
but that is not going to slow down
the action here in NXT.

118
00:06:29,622 --> 00:06:31,457
Let's go back to some of the action,

119
00:06:31,524 --> 00:06:35,928
because certainly Joe Gacy
was not slowing down in this match up.

120
00:06:35,995 --> 00:06:38,231
Has really been bringing it
to Cameron Grimes

121
00:06:38,297 --> 00:06:41,467
because he wants to prove a point
to the NXT locker room.

122
00:06:41,534 --> 00:06:45,304
You don't say no to Schism,
and should the locker room be scared,

123
00:06:45,371 --> 00:06:47,807
and what should scare them the most
about Gacy and Schism?

124
00:06:47,874 --> 00:06:52,412
[Book] I wouldn't use the word "scared"
more so than concern.

125
00:06:52,478 --> 00:06:56,883
You got a diabolical man
by the name of Joe Gacy.

126
00:06:56,949 --> 00:06:59,685
You got the Dyad. You got Ava Raine.

127
00:06:59,752 --> 00:07:04,357
You got four individuals working together.
Man, that's dangerous, dawg.

128
00:07:05,224 --> 00:07:07,660
[Vic] Gacy proving just how dangerous
he can be.

129
00:07:07,727 --> 00:07:10,797
Look at Gacy now unloading on Grimes.

130
00:07:10,863 --> 00:07:13,599
Take another look at this innovation
we talked about,

131
00:07:13,666 --> 00:07:16,035
that new viciousness in Gacy.

132
00:07:16,102 --> 00:07:18,504
He certainly has a few
new tricks up his sleeve.

133
00:07:18,571 --> 00:07:20,940
[Book] I tell you right now,
if I was a betting man,

134
00:07:21,007 --> 00:07:24,377
I'd definitely be betting
on Joe Gacy here tonight.

135
00:07:24,443 --> 00:07:28,448
[Vic] Crossface and he is really now
inflicting the pain onto Grimes.

136
00:07:28,514 --> 00:07:30,383
You can see the pain in Grimes' eyes.

137
00:07:30,450 --> 00:07:33,152
[Book] Right now he is making
Cameron Grimes suffer.

138
00:07:33,219 --> 00:07:36,956
This right here, this is not a technique
about winning or anything like this.

139
00:07:37,023 --> 00:07:40,426
This is about freaking
that man down bit by bit.

140
00:07:40,493 --> 00:07:44,497
[Vic] Grimes trying to feed off
the energy of the NXT universe,

141
00:07:44,564 --> 00:07:46,365
get back to a vertical base,

142
00:07:46,432 --> 00:07:50,636
but Gacy continuing to inflict
punishment to Grimes.

143
00:07:50,703 --> 00:07:52,572
-Ooh.
-[crowd gasps]

144
00:07:52,638 --> 00:07:54,607
[Vic] Nasty landing and now

145
00:07:54,674 --> 00:07:57,844
-set up and, oh, Grimes.
-[Book laughing]

146
00:07:57,910 --> 00:08:01,814
[Book] Cameron Grimes
with some innovative offense.

147
00:08:01,881 --> 00:08:03,950
My God, man.

148
00:08:04,016 --> 00:08:06,886
Typically we see Grimes
fall into a cover off that,

149
00:08:06,953 --> 00:08:12,558
but so much has been taken, bam,
out of Grimes in this match up.

150
00:08:12,625 --> 00:08:15,361
[Book] Wouldn't have enough to make
the cover right there,

151
00:08:15,428 --> 00:08:18,631
but Cameron Grimes never say die attitude.

152
00:08:18,698 --> 00:08:20,266
Still in the fight.

153
00:08:20,333 --> 00:08:23,002
NXT universe trying to rally Grimes,

154
00:08:24,203 --> 00:08:26,906
and we see Schism
all the way around the ring.

155
00:08:26,973 --> 00:08:30,643
Ooh! That's one way
to deal with the outside.

156
00:08:30,710 --> 00:08:33,045
[Book] Back elbow right there.
That's another.

157
00:08:34,580 --> 00:08:37,283
[Vic] Now it's Cameron Grimes
picking up steam in this match up.

158
00:08:37,350 --> 00:08:40,453
Grimes knows the number's not in his favor

159
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:43,155
with all of Schism around the ring.

160
00:08:43,222 --> 00:08:44,891
And once again.

161
00:08:45,791 --> 00:08:48,327
[Book] Strength in numbers, Vic.
Strength in numbers.

162
00:08:48,394 --> 00:08:52,098
That little distraction
may be the one thing that Gacy needs.

163
00:08:52,164 --> 00:08:54,100
-Oh, no.
-Maybe not.

164
00:08:54,166 --> 00:08:58,204
[Vic] Dyad learning the hard way,
and now Gacy taking a lot of punishment.

165
00:08:58,271 --> 00:09:00,273
-German suplex.
-[crowd cheering]

166
00:09:00,339 --> 00:09:04,577
[Book] He's going for it.
He's going up top to the heavens, Vic.

00:09:04,644 --> 00:09:07,613
Grimes. High cross body.

168
00:09:07,680 --> 00:09:09,482
[Book] Beautiful.

169
00:09:09,549 --> 00:09:13,519
[Vic] Once again, the referee has his
hands full here in this opening contest.

170
00:09:13,586 --> 00:09:16,022
Oh, miscommunication.

171

174

-The NXT universe…
-[crowd chanting]

175
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:29,168

00:09:33,940 --> 00:09:36,108

what was about to happen,

178
00:09:36,175 --> 00:09:40,513
but Grimes going to go
to the moon one way or another.

179

Cameron Grimes in this moment that--

182
00:09:58,598 --> 00:10:00,299
Wait, Ava Raine.

00:10:00,366 --> 00:10:03,102
-The referee distracted.
-I talked about that X Factor.

184

[Vic] Upside down world comes to NXT.

-[Book] Good night.

187
00:10:11,077 --> 00:10:13,512
[Vic] Numbers again play a factor.

188
00:10:13,579 --> 00:10:16,916
[announcer] Here is your winner, Joe Gacy.

189
00:10:16,983 --> 00:10:19,585
[Vic] Taking down Cameron Grimes.

190
00:10:19,652 --> 00:10:22,521
We talked about it at the start.

191
00:10:22,588 --> 00:10:24,423
Strength in numbers,

192
00:10:24,490 --> 00:10:28,661
and Ava Raine proves her worth

193
00:10:28,728 --> 00:10:32,064
to Joe Gacy here tonight.

[Gacy's music playing]

195
00:10:35,601 --> 00:10:39,071
[Vic] Book, Cameron Grimes was rolling
in this match up. As we said, the numbers.

196
00:10:39,138 --> 00:10:42,808
He was taking out everyone
that tried to interfere in this match up.

197
00:10:42,875 --> 00:10:44,510
Even took out Joe Gacy.

198
00:10:44,577 --> 00:10:47,413
He knew the risk in this match up

199
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:50,082
and he was taking risks throughout it all.

200
00:10:50,149 --> 00:10:53,619
He put everything on the line
for this match, for this victory,

201
00:10:53,686 --> 00:10:55,821
but in the end there you see Ava Raine.

202
00:10:55,888 --> 00:11:00,059
Referee distracted, opened the door, bam.

203
00:11:00,126 --> 00:11:02,061
-[Book] Wow.
-Joe Gacy.

204
00:11:03,696 --> 00:11:06,465
[Vic] To close the door once and for all

205
00:11:07,700 --> 00:11:09,669
on Cameron Grimes.

206
00:11:09,735 --> 00:11:12,872
Gacy, the Dyad, Raine,

207
00:11:12,938 --> 00:11:15,174
roots grow stronger,

208
00:11:15,241 --> 00:11:18,244
and who can uproot the Schism?

209

210
00:11:22,782 --> 00:11:24,750
Hey, what did they say?

211
00:11:24,817 --> 00:11:28,154
Oh, could be like maybe
a few more weeks until I'll be cleared.

212
00:11:28,220 --> 00:11:32,224
To be fair, you trapped your body
pretty badly in that ladder match, man.

213
00:11:32,291 --> 00:11:36,362
When I say I leave it all in the ring,
it ain't no catch phrase. It's the truth.

214
00:11:36,429 --> 00:11:38,831
I know first hand, trust me.

215
00:11:38,898 --> 00:11:41,734
-You'll be back before you know it.
-Yes, something like that.

216
00:11:41,801 --> 00:11:43,669
Are you sure about that?

217
00:11:43,736 --> 00:11:46,372
Why don't you leave
the medical timeline to the experts?

218
00:11:46,439 --> 00:11:49,208
Because you might be one
of the smarter guys we got around here,

219
00:11:49,275 --> 00:11:54,213
but you know absolutely zero
about that four-letter word: pain.

220
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:57,349
This lad's your mate, he's not going
to tell you how broken up he is.

221
00:11:57,416 --> 00:12:00,853
Look at the way he's standing.
Look at how tight his neck muscles are.

222
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:03,255
I'm thinking you got
a herniated disc, bro,

223
00:12:03,322 --> 00:12:06,358
in your C4 maybe?

224
00:12:06,425 --> 00:12:09,495
You don't have to tell me.
Here's a silver lining for you though.

225
00:12:09,562 --> 00:12:12,264
This lad wouldn't have done any better
in that ladder match

226
00:12:12,331 --> 00:12:14,600
if you hadn't won the best
of three series.

227
00:12:14,667 --> 00:12:18,204
Oh, so you're saying
I would pull a JD McDonagh, right?

228
00:12:18,270 --> 00:12:23,642
Gets so close time and time again
but fail to walk away with the title.

229
00:12:26,178 --> 00:12:29,281
How about I break you up
so you can spend some time in medical

230
00:12:29,348 --> 00:12:30,983
with your little friend over there?

231
00:12:31,050 --> 00:12:35,054
Yes, we'll see who will feel more of that
four-letter word you're talking about.

232
00:12:35,888 --> 00:12:37,490
We will.

233
00:12:41,293 --> 00:12:43,095
[Vic] That certainly
was quite the interaction

234
00:12:43,162 --> 00:12:46,365
and it's always interesting
inside the barbershop.

235
00:12:46,432 --> 00:12:49,201
Carmelo Hayes/Trick Williams
made a stop in the shop.

236
00:12:49,268 --> 00:12:51,003
Next on NXT.

[Vic] Earlier today, the challengers for
the NXT women's tag team titles arrived.

239
00:12:58,944 --> 00:13:01,981
Of course, Nikkita Lyons and Zoey Stark
getting their minds right.

240
00:13:02,047 --> 00:13:06,318
Can they finally capture gold
in tonight's main event here on NXT?

241
00:13:06,385 --> 00:13:08,254
Someone else who's been looking for gold.

242
00:13:08,320 --> 00:13:10,656
Doesn't seem the same without gold
around his waist.

243
00:13:10,723 --> 00:13:12,224
I'm talking about Carmelo Hayes.

244
00:13:12,291 --> 00:13:15,661
He recently met up
with Trick Williams in the barbershop.

245
00:13:16,729 --> 00:13:19,899
[hip-hop music playing]

246
00:13:26,105 --> 00:13:28,941
-The streets are talking, Melo.
-Of course they're talking, man.

247
00:13:29,008 --> 00:13:31,143
They're always talking about Melo.
What they trying to say now?

248
00:13:31,210 --> 00:13:34,580
Hey, he ain't win his North American
championship back, what's the next move?

249
00:13:34,647 --> 00:13:39,318
-Come on, man, we don't listen to them.
-They ain't wrong, but they ain't right.

250
00:13:39,385 --> 00:13:43,389
Hey. They ain't right because I sit here
without my North American championship.

251
00:13:43,455 --> 00:13:46,091
-The championship that I put on the map.
-Yes.

252
00:13:46,158 --> 00:13:48,394
-The championship that I made famous.
-Talk your talk.

253
00:13:48,460 --> 00:13:52,498
The same championship that I made more
relevant than the NXT title itself.

254
00:13:52,565 --> 00:13:55,234
-You dirty dawg.
-Come on. Let's talk about it, okay?

255
00:13:55,301 --> 00:14:00,306
Look, man, let's be real.
Not one person has pinned me for my title.

256
00:14:00,372 --> 00:14:03,843
Those will still be your titles
if it wasn't for all these ladder match.

257
00:14:03,909 --> 00:14:06,445
We don't talk about
that 60-day trial, champ.

258
00:14:06,512 --> 00:14:08,647
Man, I took a nap and missed
the whole damn thing.

259
00:14:08,714 --> 00:14:09,982
That's what I'm saying.

260
00:14:10,049 --> 00:14:12,651
Exactly, and that's why
when I went one-on-one with Grimes,

261
00:14:12,718 --> 00:14:16,021
I did exactly what I said I was going
to do and I got my title back.

262
00:14:16,088 --> 00:14:19,592
I got to put respect
on Wes Lee real quick.

263
00:14:19,658 --> 00:14:23,529
Because he went to hell and back to win
that North American championship.

264
00:14:23,596 --> 00:14:27,566
He did all right, but one thing
he didn't to, he didn't beat me,

265
00:14:27,633 --> 00:14:31,303
and until you beat me you ain't
the A champ, you the paint champ.

266
00:14:31,370 --> 00:14:34,139
-I said what I said.
-I'll tell you what he is.

267
00:14:34,206 --> 00:14:36,008
-He's a transitional chump.
-One hundred.

268
00:14:36,075 --> 00:14:38,677
He went for the tag titles, right?
What happened?

269
00:14:38,744 --> 00:14:40,312
Nothing.

270
00:14:42,047 --> 00:14:46,585
Hey, but you got to give it to Wes though.
He got the whole NXT universe behind him.

271
00:14:49,054 --> 00:14:51,690
-What the hell, Josh?
-Bro, I'm just speaking facts.

272
00:14:51,757 --> 00:14:54,493
All right. You know what? All right.
We'll give it to Wes Lee.

273
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:57,162
He might have the whole
NXT universe behind him,

274
00:14:57,229 --> 00:14:59,431
but what's he going to do
when it's me and him in the ring?

275
00:14:59,498 --> 00:15:02,334
Where the whole NXT universe
going to be then? Exactly.

276
00:15:02,401 --> 00:15:06,205
Wes Lee is smooth,
he's a good tag guy, yes,

277
00:15:06,272 --> 00:15:10,409
but until you beat me in the ring,
one, two, three, you are not him.

278
00:15:10,476 --> 00:15:12,411
-Wes Lee is a crybaby.
-Facts.

279
00:15:12,478 --> 00:15:15,514
Made me smack his head
all through the lockers, right?

280
00:15:15,581 --> 00:15:17,349
Exactly. That's what I'm talking about.

281

Everyone knows it's going
to be a short title reign.

that fan vote for a reason.

when it's really me and him

284

one-on-one and the title's on the line.

285
00:15:26,692 --> 00:15:28,961
Wait, but how long are you gonna
let him hold the title for?

286
00:15:29,028 --> 00:15:32,531
I tell you what, Mr. Barber,
two weeks tops.

287
00:15:32,598 --> 00:15:33,966
Two weeks.

288
00:15:34,033 --> 00:15:36,969
Besides, the titles look better
on Trick Melo gang anyways.

289
00:15:37,036 --> 00:15:39,605
That part. Hey, look.
Here's what we're going to do, y'all.

signing and make this thing official.

like I know how to do it.

is going to be, Trick.

just stay focused, man.

on everybody on top of the world.

on NXT in that match up

330
00:18:14,493 --> 00:18:15,594
you just mentioned with Sol Ruca.

331
00:18:15,661 --> 00:18:18,664
It was Lopez who dropped
not only Indi Hartwell

332
00:18:18,730 --> 00:18:23,235
but then turned her attention to her
opponent who she'll face here tonight.

333
00:18:23,302 --> 00:18:25,904
When you talk about leaving a mark,
as we mentioned earlier,

334
00:18:25,971 --> 00:18:28,307
that is exactly what Lopez did.

335
00:18:28,373 --> 00:18:31,743
She started her mission statement
that this is a new version

336
00:18:31,810 --> 00:18:34,379
-of Elektra Lopez here in NXT.
-[bell rings]

337
00:18:34,446 --> 00:18:36,148
You take a look at Lopez.

338
00:18:36,215 --> 00:18:39,318
I'll ask you right off rip,
what's Lopez missing?

339
00:18:39,384 --> 00:18:43,722
[Book] I really don't think
Lopez is missing a whole lot.

340
00:18:43,789 --> 00:18:47,459
I just think she needs to put
the blinders on, get laser focused.

341
00:18:47,526 --> 00:18:51,430
I've noticed Lopez in the past
and those 99 reasons

342
00:18:51,497 --> 00:18:54,600
and a HA1 seems to come into play.

343
00:18:54,666 --> 00:18:57,903
[Vic] Right now Lopez trying
to turn herself around in this match up,

344
00:18:57,970 --> 00:19:00,606
but this is a big test,
as we've mentioned, for Sol Ruca.

345
00:19:00,672 --> 00:19:03,842
How do you grade someone
like Ruca just three matches in?

346
00:19:03,909 --> 00:19:07,045
[Book] Whenever I look at Sol Ruca,
she's an athlete with strength.

347
00:19:07,112 --> 00:19:08,247
Athleticism.

348
00:19:08,313 --> 00:19:12,518
All of that is there it's just a matter
of just getting those reps in play

349
00:19:12,584 --> 00:19:15,754
and I think she's going to be doing that.
Oh, God!

350
00:19:15,821 --> 00:19:18,190
[Vic] You talk about a game changer.

351
00:19:18,257 --> 00:19:23,495
Lopez with one clothesline just changed
the complexion of this match up

352
00:19:23,562 --> 00:19:27,533
and wisely now Lopez into the cover,
hooks the leg, and a near fall.

353
00:19:27,599 --> 00:19:31,336
Lopez declared she is
more dangerous on her own.

354
00:19:31,403 --> 00:19:34,873
The Don seemed to agree last week.
Into another cover, another kick out.

355
00:19:34,940 --> 00:19:36,441
Do you agree?

356
00:19:36,508 --> 00:19:38,443
[Book] I said it,
it's getting laser-focused,

357
00:19:38,510 --> 00:19:43,882
and right here shows me something
that I need to see out of Elektra Lopez,

358
00:19:43,949 --> 00:19:46,351
that killer instinct.

359
00:19:46,418 --> 00:19:48,787
Right now, she's looking real good.

360
00:19:49,621 --> 00:19:53,859
[Vic] Lopez certainly not afraid
to make enemies here in NXT

361
00:19:53,926 --> 00:19:55,861
as she scales rung by rung

362
00:19:55,928 --> 00:19:59,164
to what she declared the top
of the women's division.

363
00:19:59,231 --> 00:20:04,603
[Book] To your point, I agree 100%
whom with Tony D "the Don".

364
00:20:04,670 --> 00:20:09,408
He didn't slip on a banana pill
becoming the boss of that crew.

365
00:20:09,474 --> 00:20:13,145
[Vic] Into another cover, another hook
of the leg and another near fall.

366
00:20:13,212 --> 00:20:18,116
Still to come this match up
made official after what we witnessed.

367
00:20:18,183 --> 00:20:22,321
Axiom one-on-one with one
of your favorites, JD McDonagh.

368
00:20:22,387 --> 00:20:26,458
[Book] I like axiom too. That right there
is going to be a battle dash.

369
00:20:26,525 --> 00:20:31,396
Don't miss out. Don't get shut out.
Get your popcorn right now.

370
00:20:31,463 --> 00:20:34,666
[Vic] Lopez focused, as you mentioned,
be laser-focused.

371
00:20:34,733 --> 00:20:37,235
She certainly has shown that
in this match up.

372
00:20:37,302 --> 00:20:40,005
New side of Elektra Lopez
that we didn't see.

373
00:20:40,072 --> 00:20:44,109
Certainly, as we mentioned, laying claim--
Wait, quick roll up.

374
00:20:44,176 --> 00:20:46,311
Shoulders down
and a near fall for Sol Ruca.

375
00:20:46,378 --> 00:20:49,014
One more time, Ruca from behind,
shoulders down. Again.

376
00:20:49,081 --> 00:20:52,684
Another quick kick out by Lopez
and this may be what Sol Ruca

377
00:20:52,751 --> 00:20:56,455
is going to need in this match up,
starting to string together some offense.

378
00:20:56,521 --> 00:20:59,725
The former division-one athlete
putting on a show now.

379
00:20:59,791 --> 00:21:01,960
Speaking of which, Campus Tush tour

380
00:21:02,027 --> 00:21:04,396
hit the campuses
of ole miss Georgia tech last week.

381
00:21:04,463 --> 00:21:06,732
Today the tour
was on the campus of [indistinct]

382
00:21:06,798 --> 00:21:11,536
Sol Ruca showcasing just what sort
of athletes we have here in NXT.

383
00:21:11,603 --> 00:21:15,574
[Book] Vic, I talked about the balance,
the strength, the reps right now.

384
00:21:15,641 --> 00:21:19,077
Sol Ruca is looking good.
I talked about being redeemed.

385
00:21:19,144 --> 00:21:21,647
She's doing a hell of a job
right here tonight.

386
00:21:21,713 --> 00:21:24,783
-Bad move.
-Took a little too much time.

387
00:21:26,018 --> 00:21:28,754
[Vic] That certainly
opens the door for Lopez.

388
00:21:28,820 --> 00:21:30,989
-[Book] There we go. Good night.
-Oh!

389
00:21:31,056 --> 00:21:36,294
[Vic] Lopez sending an electric shock
off the spine of Sol Ruca here tonight.

390
00:21:36,361 --> 00:21:38,430
-[bell rings]
-[Book] Need more reps.

391
00:21:38,497 --> 00:21:40,165
[Elektra Lopez's music plays]

392
00:21:40,232 --> 00:21:43,969
[announcer] Here is your winner,
Elektra Lopez.

393
00:21:44,036 --> 00:21:46,805
[Vic] You're not knocking Sol Ruca.

394
00:21:46,872 --> 00:21:48,473
It's only her third match.

395
00:21:48,540 --> 00:21:50,342
Still trying to bring it here.

396
00:21:50,409 --> 00:21:51,810
Go back, bam.

397
00:21:51,877 --> 00:21:55,447
Elektra Lopez obviously much more seasoned
to your point than Sol Ruca.

398
00:21:55,514 --> 00:21:57,683
[Book] That was the beginning.
That big clothesline right there

399
00:21:57,749 --> 00:21:59,384
waned the bell of Sol Ruca.

400
00:21:59,451 --> 00:22:01,853
That right there didn't help the cause.

401
00:22:01,920 --> 00:22:06,258
Right now, Elektra Lopez
looking in total control and check it out.

402
00:22:06,325 --> 00:22:07,893
Good night.

403
00:22:07,959 --> 00:22:11,163
[Vic] Keeping the women's division
on notice on her return.

404
00:22:11,229 --> 00:22:14,933
-She said she's more dangerous than ever.
-[bell rings]

405
00:22:15,000 --> 00:22:18,670
And here tonight, she proves just that.

406
00:22:18,737 --> 00:22:20,706
[Book] Oh, yes. Oh, yes, indeed.

407
00:22:20,772 --> 00:22:23,742
-[Vic] Oh.
-Come on, fight with me, Elektra.

408
00:22:23,809 --> 00:22:26,211
[Vic] What we talked about two
weeks ago, there's Indi Hartwell.

409
00:22:26,278 --> 00:22:28,547
-Hartwell has issues with Lopez.
-Yes.

410
00:22:28,613 --> 00:22:31,216
-[Vic] We need more referees.
-I like it.

411
00:22:31,283 --> 00:22:33,552
[crowd shouting]

412
00:22:38,724 --> 00:22:43,395
Mr. Chase, last week, Charlie Dempsey
showed how much of a coward he was

413
00:22:43,462 --> 00:22:45,997
when he came up from behind and hit you.

414
00:22:46,064 --> 00:22:48,767
You know, Mr. Chase,
if you don't get him, I will.

415
00:22:48,834 --> 00:22:51,069
Let me at him, Mr. Chase. Let me at him.

416
00:22:51,136 --> 00:22:55,540
Mr. Chase, last week when you sent me
to the back, that was a teachable moment.

417
00:22:55,607 --> 00:22:56,608
Correct.

418
00:22:56,675 --> 00:22:59,044
I learned that we only win
and lose between the ropes.

419
00:22:59,111 --> 00:23:01,279
Tonight, for your match,
I want to be ringside with Thea,

420
00:23:01,346 --> 00:23:03,115
but to support

421
00:23:04,483 --> 00:23:06,551
and only support

422
00:23:06,618 --> 00:23:09,788
as you uphold the integrity
of Chase University

423
00:23:09,855 --> 00:23:12,023
against that besmirching Charlie Dempsey.

424
00:23:12,090 --> 00:23:14,059
That's right, Duke. Don't hold back.
Lay it on me.

425
00:23:14,126 --> 00:23:16,294
I'm just saying,
when he attacked you last week,

426
00:23:16,361 --> 00:23:18,697
he attacked every single one
of us in the university.

427
00:23:18,764 --> 00:23:22,801
He spat on the face of everyone who's ever
proudly worn a U on their chest.

428
00:23:22,868 --> 00:23:24,469
Tell them, Duke. Tell them. Tell them.

429
00:23:24,536 --> 00:23:27,072
Now, you've beaten him before
and you'll beat him again.

430
00:23:27,139 --> 00:23:29,508
-You're damn right.
-You'll beat him again right now.

431
00:23:29,574 --> 00:23:32,210
You're damn right. I'm going to get
that son of a bitch

432
00:23:32,277 --> 00:23:35,881
an Andre Chase University
south ass whooping.

433
00:23:35,947 --> 00:23:37,849
Yeah!

434
00:23:37,916 --> 00:23:39,751
Duke, you got the flag.

435
00:23:39,818 --> 00:23:41,486
Hands in.

436
00:23:41,553 --> 00:23:44,389
Chase U on three. One, two, three.

437
00:23:44,456 --> 00:23:46,558
-Chase U.
-Let's go get him.

438
00:23:46,625 --> 00:23:48,493
Oh, wait for me, Mr. Chase.

439
00:23:53,098 --> 00:23:55,834
[telephone ringing]

440
00:23:57,068 --> 00:23:58,370
Hey, girl.

441
00:23:58,437 --> 00:24:00,438
Hey, girl. What are you up to?

442
00:24:00,505 --> 00:24:02,140
I just left the mall.

443
00:24:02,207 --> 00:24:03,708
Oh, nice.

444
00:24:03,775 --> 00:24:05,343
Are you heading to the arena now?

445
00:24:05,410 --> 00:24:08,180
Normally shopping puts me in a good mood,

446
00:24:08,246 --> 00:24:11,516
but 4K later and I'm still nervous
to go to the arena

447
00:24:11,583 --> 00:24:13,752
because of Miss Bonfire Jones.

448
00:24:13,819 --> 00:24:17,556
Oh, gosh.
Listen, if you're nervous, just don't go.

449
00:24:17,622 --> 00:24:21,393
Gigi has three cracked ribs from going
through the table last week,

450
00:24:21,460 --> 00:24:23,895
and you heard what Alba said.

451
00:24:23,962 --> 00:24:26,031
Listen, I know she's a psycho.

452
00:24:26,097 --> 00:24:30,435
For all we know, she's probably standing
outside of our locker room waiting for us.

453
00:24:30,502 --> 00:24:33,205
Yes. She probably is. She can wait for us.

454
00:24:33,271 --> 00:24:35,841
[scoffs] She can wait all night
for all I care.

455
00:24:35,907 --> 00:24:38,577
-Yes. Just come here and hang out.
-Okay. You got it.

456
00:24:38,643 --> 00:24:40,045
-I'll see you soon.
-Okay, cool.

457
00:24:40,111 --> 00:24:42,247
-[siren chirping]
-Hold on, Mandy.

458
00:24:44,082 --> 00:24:46,218
A mall cop just pulled up behind me.

459
00:24:46,284 --> 00:24:49,087
Oh, my gosh. Are you in the middle
of the road? What are you doing?

460
00:24:49,154 --> 00:24:51,656
Paul Blart probably wants an autograph.

461
00:24:51,723 --> 00:24:54,326
-Yes. Or your number.
-Ew.

462
00:24:54,392 --> 00:24:57,362
Not even in his creepiest little dreams.

463
00:24:59,397 --> 00:25:00,899
[door opening]

464
00:25:00,966 --> 00:25:03,134
-No, no, no!
-Jacy. What?

465
00:25:03,201 --> 00:25:05,537
-[screaming] No!
-What are you doing?

466
00:25:05,604 --> 00:25:08,373
-[screaming continues]
-Are you okay?

467
00:25:08,440 --> 00:25:09,641
Jacy?

468
00:25:10,909 --> 00:25:12,644
Hi, Mandy.

469
00:25:12,711 --> 00:25:17,015
I told you one by one
I was going to take all of you out.

470
00:25:17,082 --> 00:25:19,684
Last week I took out Gigi.

471
00:25:21,119 --> 00:25:22,787
This week,

472
00:25:22,854 --> 00:25:26,091
-I took out Jacy Jayne.
-Don't you dare--

473
00:25:26,157 --> 00:25:32,664
And next week I'm taking your title
and I'll be the last woman standing.

474
00:25:33,532 --> 00:25:35,000
See you then.

475
00:25:40,305 --> 00:25:42,507
[Vic] That's quite the warning
from Alba Fyre,

476
00:25:42,574 --> 00:25:46,444
but we saw the challengers earlier.
The champions arrived as well.

477
00:25:46,511 --> 00:25:50,248
A duo that never lacks confidence
as confident as ever

478
00:25:50,315 --> 00:25:54,519
heading into our championship main event
later tonight here on NXT.

479
00:25:54,586 --> 00:25:57,188
[Charlie Dempsey's music plays]

480
00:25:57,255 --> 00:25:58,523
[bell rings]

481
00:25:58,590 --> 00:26:01,126
[announcer] The following contest
is scheduled for one fall.

482
00:26:01,192 --> 00:26:02,561
Introducing first,

483
00:26:02,627 --> 00:26:05,096
Charlie Dempsey.

484
00:26:05,163 --> 00:26:06,464
[Vic] There's Charlie Dempsey.

485
00:26:06,531 --> 00:26:09,768
He visited the campus of Chase U.
Didn't really like it.

486
00:26:09,834 --> 00:26:12,771
That led to a match up earlier this summer

487
00:26:12,837 --> 00:26:16,942
where Andre Chase taught Dempsey
a very teachable moment,

488
00:26:17,008 --> 00:26:21,313
but we go from August
to a more recent in this saga

489
00:26:21,379 --> 00:26:24,215
between these two superstars,
and we don't have to go very far back.

490
00:26:24,282 --> 00:26:25,650
We can go last week, when bam,

491
00:26:25,717 --> 00:26:28,420
right there you see Dempsey
with a payback.

492
00:26:28,486 --> 00:26:31,356
Picked his spot to take down Chase.

493
00:26:31,423 --> 00:26:36,227
That was until Duke Hudson made the save
for his teacher, for his mentor.

494
00:26:36,294 --> 00:26:39,564
That all brings us
to this grudge match, so to speak,

495
00:26:39,631 --> 00:26:41,299
that we're about to see here on NXT.

496
00:26:41,366 --> 00:26:44,169
[Charlie Dempsey's music plays]

497
00:26:45,804 --> 00:26:48,340
[Andre Chase's music plays]

498
00:26:48,406 --> 00:26:50,141
[crowd cheering]

499
00:26:54,145 --> 00:26:57,616
[announcer] And his opponent,
representing Chase University,

500
00:26:57,682 --> 00:27:00,018
Andre Chase.

501
00:27:00,085 --> 00:27:02,721
[Vic] It's been a tough time
for the University, Book.

502
00:27:02,787 --> 00:27:04,389
[Book] Yes. It's been a real tough time.

503
00:27:04,456 --> 00:27:09,494
I've heard that the special council
is investigating Chase U

504
00:27:09,561 --> 00:27:12,497
and actually I've reached out
to somebody at the U,

505
00:27:12,564 --> 00:27:15,100
and no one has gotten back to me,

506
00:27:15,166 --> 00:27:18,370
but I will keep you updated as we--

507
00:27:18,436 --> 00:27:21,706
[Vic] You doing fake news, Book?
This fake news right now?

508
00:27:21,773 --> 00:27:23,742
I can tell by that laugh
it's probably fake news.

509
00:27:23,808 --> 00:27:27,479
[Book] That's allegedly, of course, okay?
Let's just get that out there.

510
00:27:27,545 --> 00:27:31,383
[Vic] There you see Duke Hudson who we saw
made the same proudly waving the flag.

511
00:27:31,449 --> 00:27:33,785
Hudson of course doing his best
Chet Steadman

512
00:27:33,852 --> 00:27:37,088
to fire up Andre Chase
before this match up.

513
00:27:37,155 --> 00:27:40,725
[Book] You said Chet Steadman,
who has he ever beat?

514
00:27:40,792 --> 00:27:44,195
[Vic] Chet Steadman. He won the Cubs
the world series not too long ago.

515
00:27:44,262 --> 00:27:46,731
Now Dempsey trying to turn
things around in this match up.

516
00:27:46,798 --> 00:27:49,401
Look at Chase. Chase might just have--

517
00:27:49,467 --> 00:27:53,772
[Book] You got to understand
I'm from Astro City, man.

518
00:27:53,838 --> 00:27:56,307
It's all about winning world series.

519
00:27:56,374 --> 00:27:58,977
-[Vic] I walked into that one.
-Yes. [laughs]

520
00:27:59,044 --> 00:28:01,146
[Vic] I walked right
into that one with you, Book.

521
00:28:01,212 --> 00:28:05,550
[Book] Hey, but let me say something.
I really like this kid, Charlie Dempsey.

522
00:28:05,617 --> 00:28:07,886
He's standing up for himself here tonight.

523
00:28:07,952 --> 00:28:11,089
Let's see how it play out
because I'm going to tell you right now,

524
00:28:11,156 --> 00:28:15,427
think what I want about Andre Chase,
this kid is talented.

525
00:28:15,493 --> 00:28:18,997
[Vic] He's certainly is, and you should
become maybe a professor at Chase U.

526
00:28:19,064 --> 00:28:21,699
You can teach the simplicity
of the spinaroonie.

527
00:28:21,766 --> 00:28:24,602
[Book] What is Chase U? Is it some--

528
00:28:24,669 --> 00:28:26,871
[Vic] You said you called them.
You should know the area code.

529
00:28:26,938 --> 00:28:28,940
You should be able to find that on a map.

530
00:28:29,007 --> 00:28:31,242
-[Book] That's what I said.
-On the GPS.

531
00:28:31,309 --> 00:28:35,013
I said they were being investigated.
I didn't say I've been there.

532
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:37,315
[Vic] Although when it comes
to Chase University,

533
00:28:37,382 --> 00:28:39,184
some in the locker room
aren't really buying in.

534
00:28:39,250 --> 00:28:41,686
Oh, nice northern lights suplex
with a bridge.

535
00:28:41,753 --> 00:28:43,988
Referee trying to get into position,
shoulder down,

536
00:28:44,055 --> 00:28:48,993
and now a submission, and Dempsey
cranking on the left arm of Andre Chase.

537
00:28:49,060 --> 00:28:50,829
[Book] Trying to get
that kimura locked in.

538
00:28:50,895 --> 00:28:54,699
If he get that one hand,
that one wrist lock, it could be over.

539
00:28:54,766 --> 00:28:57,302
Oh, there it is. Got the wrist lock.

540
00:28:58,169 --> 00:29:00,138
[Vic] Chase now. Shoulders down.
Shoulders down.

541
00:29:00,205 --> 00:29:02,507
-[Book] Beautifully reversal by Chase.
-Much like the first match up.

542
00:29:02,574 --> 00:29:04,375
[Vic] That's how Chase taught
the teachable moment.

543
00:29:04,442 --> 00:29:07,178
Now just peppering Charlie Dempsey.

544
00:29:08,379 --> 00:29:09,380
Boom.

545
00:29:09,447 --> 00:29:13,818
[Book] Oh, got to give this kid
Andre Chase his followers.

546
00:29:13,885 --> 00:29:17,222
He knows what he's doing
inside the squared circle,

547
00:29:17,288 --> 00:29:19,724
and right now Dempsey is on the ropes.

548
00:29:19,791 --> 00:29:23,228
[Vic] You talk about being in downtown,
looking at Saban, Alabama.

549
00:29:23,294 --> 00:29:25,663
They're down right now.
Chase U I'm certain will bounce back

550
00:29:25,730 --> 00:29:27,665
and it could start right here tonight.

551
00:29:27,732 --> 00:29:29,501
-Give me a C.
-[crowd yells] C.

552
00:29:29,567 --> 00:29:31,336
-H.
-[crowd yells] H.

553
00:29:31,402 --> 00:29:32,670
-A.
-[crowd yells] A.

554
00:29:32,737 --> 00:29:33,938
-S.
-[crowd yells] S.

555
00:29:34,005 --> 00:29:35,306
-E.
-[crowd yells] E.

556
00:29:35,373 --> 00:29:36,508
-U.
-[crowd yells] U.

557
00:29:36,574 --> 00:29:39,644
-What's that spell?
-[crowd yells] Chase U.

558
00:29:39,711 --> 00:29:42,680
[Vic] The students' section, Book.
Of course it's a real university.

559
00:29:42,747 --> 00:29:45,950
[Book] Once again, they've been duped.
That's the way I see it.

560
00:29:46,985 --> 00:29:50,555
[Vic] Will Dempsey able again to counter?
And now room for maybe a full Nelson.

561
00:29:50,622 --> 00:29:53,057
Counter one more time. Nice take down.

562
00:29:53,124 --> 00:29:55,326
[Book] Beautiful ankle pick
right there by Dempsey.

563
00:29:55,393 --> 00:29:57,128
[Vic] Oh, into the ankle lock.

564
00:29:57,195 --> 00:30:00,331
Now just trying to continue
to apply the pressure.

565
00:30:00,398 --> 00:30:02,167
-[crowd clapping]
-Duke, no.

566
00:30:02,233 --> 00:30:04,736
No, Duke, no. No.

567
00:30:04,803 --> 00:30:07,539
[Vic] Chase yelling at Duke Hudson
to stay out of the match.

568
00:30:07,605 --> 00:30:10,175
[Book] That's Duke doing the right thing.
Come on, here.

569
00:30:10,241 --> 00:30:12,877
[Vic] There's Dempsey now
trying to continue to apply the pressure.

570
00:30:12,944 --> 00:30:15,613
Certainly has a regal approach
to his craft.

571
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:17,515
An air of arrogance
to what he can do in the ring

572
00:30:17,582 --> 00:30:20,819
when it comes to submissions,
and he's trying to tie up Andre Chase.

573
00:30:20,885 --> 00:30:23,188
What's Hudson thinking?

574
00:30:23,254 --> 00:30:25,223
-[Duke] Ref, ref, ref.
-[Book] What the--

575
00:30:26,591 --> 00:30:28,526
-Ring the bell.
-[bell rings]

576
00:30:28,593 --> 00:30:30,695
[crowd boos]

577
00:30:31,729 --> 00:30:33,898
What happened? What?

578
00:30:33,965 --> 00:30:35,900
I didn't quit. I didn't quit.

579
00:30:35,967 --> 00:30:38,369
[announcer] As a result
of throwing in the towel,

580
00:30:38,436 --> 00:30:42,407
the winner of the match
is Charley Dempsey.

581
00:30:42,473 --> 00:30:44,175
[Charley Dempsey's music plays]

582
00:30:44,242 --> 00:30:48,513
[Vic] You talk about Charlie Dempsey,
it's a no-nonsense individual.

583
00:30:48,580 --> 00:30:52,217
Chase stunned in the moment,
but take a look at Hudson here.

584
00:30:52,283 --> 00:30:55,186
Ripping the towel from Hail and then--

585
00:30:56,487 --> 00:30:57,856
I mean…

586
00:30:57,922 --> 00:31:00,658
Look, I understand
where Duke's coming from.

587
00:31:00,725 --> 00:31:03,861
He's trying to save Chase,
but he also cost Chase the match.

588
00:31:03,928 --> 00:31:07,565
[Book] I questioned Duke there
for a second, but he did the right thing.

589
00:31:07,632 --> 00:31:10,335
[Vic] Well, it's hard to trust Duke Hudson

590
00:31:10,401 --> 00:31:14,239
because at the end of the day,
he's still Duke Hudson.

591
00:31:14,305 --> 00:31:16,307
[music continues]

592
00:31:17,609 --> 00:31:19,043
I'm now joined by Indi Hartwell,

593
00:31:19,110 --> 00:31:21,112
and Indi, I want to talk
about what happened earlier tonight.

594
00:31:21,179 --> 00:31:24,482
Impressive, right? McKenzie,
what you just saw was me finally

595
00:31:24,549 --> 00:31:27,452
starting to understand
how this place really works.

596
00:31:27,518 --> 00:31:30,054
-This place as in NXT?
-Exactly.

597
00:31:30,121 --> 00:31:32,957
Elektra Lopez had that coming.

598
00:31:33,024 --> 00:31:34,892
I don't forget what she did to me.

599
00:31:34,959 --> 00:31:37,896
She came back to NXT
wanting to prove a point,

600
00:31:37,962 --> 00:31:40,832
but no one is going
to prove a point on me.

601
00:31:40,899 --> 00:31:42,100
On Sol Ruca?

602
00:31:42,166 --> 00:31:46,671
Sure, go right ahead,
knock yourselves out, but not on me.

603
00:31:46,738 --> 00:31:48,740
You can't count on anyone.

604
00:31:48,806 --> 00:31:53,311
You have to take what you want because
otherwise it's not going to happen.

605
00:31:53,378 --> 00:31:55,747
McKenzie, I'm locked in.

606
00:31:55,813 --> 00:31:59,417
You know that saying that people say
where they're going to bet on themselves?

607
00:31:59,484 --> 00:32:01,786
I'm putting the entire house on me.

608
00:32:04,188 --> 00:32:06,357
[Vic] A confident Indi Hartwell,
but, Book, it was one

609
00:32:06,424 --> 00:32:08,860
of the biggest weekends
in sports and entertainment,

610
00:32:08,927 --> 00:32:13,531
and you will never guess who showed up
at Fallon Henley's family bar.

611
00:32:13,598 --> 00:32:15,833
You'll find out next on NXT.

612

[country music]

613
00:32:21,205 --> 00:32:23,274
-Whoo.
-Man, hell of a weekend, y'all.

614
00:32:23,341 --> 00:32:26,311
-What about that comeback from Brady?
-How about them dogs on Saturday, though?

615
00:32:26,377 --> 00:32:27,512
[both barking]

616
00:32:27,578 --> 00:32:30,848
Don't look now, boys.
Guess who just walked in.

617

[rock music]

618
00:32:37,355 --> 00:32:39,324
[Kiana's music]

619
00:32:43,795 --> 00:32:46,798
Look, Jean, this property has promise.

620
00:32:46,864 --> 00:32:48,566
Yes, Ms. James.

621
00:32:48,633 --> 00:32:51,002
Wait, get your eyes up, man. I saw that.

622
00:32:51,069 --> 00:32:53,905
Hola, amigas. Welcome to the club.

623
00:32:53,972 --> 00:32:55,907
Can I get you ladies something to drink?

624
00:32:55,974 --> 00:32:59,677
We didn't come to drink. We came
to talk, Fallon, about my proposal.

625
00:32:59,744 --> 00:33:02,747
You can talk to her here,
right next to me, ma'am.

626
00:33:03,348 --> 00:33:06,117
You could be smoother than that.
What the hell?

627
00:33:06,184 --> 00:33:08,886
Well, I've said no.

628
00:33:08,953 --> 00:33:11,222
No isn't the answer that I'm looking for.

629
00:33:11,289 --> 00:33:13,157
Fine, I'll say yes.

630
00:33:13,224 --> 00:33:14,559
Yes, ma'am.

631
00:33:14,625 --> 00:33:16,961
I see potential in this property, Fallon,

632
00:33:17,028 --> 00:33:19,664
and I've offered far more
than what it's worth.

633
00:33:19,731 --> 00:33:21,966
-What's the hold-up?
-Listen, Kiana.

634
00:33:22,033 --> 00:33:25,236
It's a nice offer, it really is,
but I'm not interested.

635
00:33:25,303 --> 00:33:28,439
I have so many memories here.
This place is not for sale.

636
00:33:28,506 --> 00:33:30,908
For more than it's worth.
Come on, she's got to be thinking--

637
00:33:30,975 --> 00:33:33,311
Brother, listen, the woman
has principles, man.

638
00:33:33,378 --> 00:33:35,146
Her memories here are priceless.

639
00:33:35,213 --> 00:33:37,482
Fallon's not just here
to make a quick buck, dude.

640
00:33:37,548 --> 00:33:40,385
You call seeing the most money
any of you have seen

641
00:33:40,451 --> 00:33:42,954
in your entire lives a quick buck?

642
00:33:43,021 --> 00:33:45,289
Wait, how much are we talking then?

643
00:33:45,356 --> 00:33:48,326
Are you dim? It's not even your bar.

644
00:33:48,393 --> 00:33:50,762
Listen, I used to sit down
at the end of the bar

645
00:33:50,828 --> 00:33:52,430
cracking peanuts with my grandpa.

646
00:33:52,497 --> 00:33:55,099
My uncle taught me
how to play pool over there

647
00:33:55,166 --> 00:33:58,336
and I would throw darts
with my dad every Thursday night.

648
00:33:58,403 --> 00:34:00,371
Now, we might not be rich by any means,

649
00:34:00,438 --> 00:34:03,674
but this bar has been in my family
practically my entire life.

650
00:34:03,741 --> 00:34:05,143
I will build an apartment complex

651
00:34:05,209 --> 00:34:08,646
that your parents can live in
for the rest of their lives, okay?

652
00:34:08,713 --> 00:34:12,950
I'm prepared to make
my best but final offer.

653
00:34:14,385 --> 00:34:16,487
Save it, Kiana. It's a no.

654
00:34:16,554 --> 00:34:19,724
Go find somewhere else
to build your apartment complex.

655
00:34:23,461 --> 00:34:24,529
Fine.

656
00:34:24,595 --> 00:34:28,199
You and your family can continue
to live in their miserable lives,

657
00:34:28,266 --> 00:34:32,570
working month to month,
land-rich but money-poor.

658
00:34:32,637 --> 00:34:33,671
Your loss.

659
00:34:33,738 --> 00:34:35,339
Get out, both of you.

660
00:34:36,941 --> 00:34:39,444
Hell, yes. Hit the bricks you--

661
00:34:43,347 --> 00:34:45,683
That's right. I'm with her.

662
00:34:45,750 --> 00:34:47,652
-I'm with you too.
-You better be.

663
00:34:47,718 --> 00:34:49,520
[Hank Walker's music plays]

664
00:34:49,587 --> 00:34:50,955
[bell rings]

665
00:34:51,022 --> 00:34:53,658
[annnouncer] The following contest
is scheduled for one fall.

666
00:34:53,724 --> 00:34:56,627
Introducing first, Hank Walker.

667
00:34:56,694 --> 00:35:00,064
[Vic] From NXT security
to an aspiring superstar,

668
00:35:00,131 --> 00:35:02,066
quite the rise for Walker.

669
00:35:02,133 --> 00:35:04,102
[Book] Yes, I got a chance
to watch this kid on level up,

670
00:35:04,168 --> 00:35:07,972
and what first stands out
is he's country-strong, man.

671
00:35:08,973 --> 00:35:10,975
[Vic] He'll need all his strength
here tonight.

672
00:35:11,042 --> 00:35:16,147
[announcer] His opponent accompanied
by "the Don of NXT" Tony D'Angelo,

673
00:35:16,214 --> 00:35:18,850
Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo.

674
00:35:18,916 --> 00:35:21,719
[Channing's music playing]

675
00:35:30,795 --> 00:35:34,499
[Vic] You got to be honest
with me, Book, a two-time hall of famer,

676
00:35:34,565 --> 00:35:37,034
do you ever wish you had
a Stacks at your side

677
00:35:37,101 --> 00:35:39,971
to make sure that your merchandise
was front and center in WWE shop?

678
00:35:40,037 --> 00:35:41,439
[Book] I'll tell you something, man.

679
00:35:41,506 --> 00:35:45,243
Merch is a number one
in this business, man.

680
00:35:45,309 --> 00:35:51,182
Do you know how many King Booker
action figures go out every month?

681
00:35:51,249 --> 00:35:54,352
The check, every quarter, dawg.

682
00:35:54,418 --> 00:35:56,854
[Vic] Could be bigger
with someone like Stacks.

683
00:35:56,921 --> 00:35:58,956
Let's focus back in on this match up.

684
00:35:59,023 --> 00:36:00,925
Look, when it comes to Walker,
all joking aside,

685
00:36:00,992 --> 00:36:05,062
the locker room seems to respect it
and gravitate to someone like Walker.

686
00:36:05,129 --> 00:36:09,233
[Book] Wait a minute, you're talking about
gravitating to the ex-security guard?

687
00:36:09,300 --> 00:36:11,836
Yes, they all think he's great because
he worked from the ground up.

688
00:36:11,903 --> 00:36:13,571
[Book] He's a good guy. You know what?

689
00:36:13,638 --> 00:36:17,208
He's probably a great guy,
but you know what?

690
00:36:17,275 --> 00:36:19,510
So is my next door neighbor.

691
00:36:19,577 --> 00:36:22,980
I'm looking for somebody
that's looking to get to the top level.

692
00:36:23,047 --> 00:36:24,715
This kid may have something.

693
00:36:24,782 --> 00:36:28,619
We'll find out tonight because Stacks
right now, he's on the move.

694
00:36:28,686 --> 00:36:31,989
[Vic] Stacks, right now, trying to turn
this match up back into his favor.

695
00:36:32,056 --> 00:36:35,493
-[Book] Oh, got caught there for a second.
-Have you seen a different side of Stacks?

696
00:36:35,560 --> 00:36:39,564
[Vic] Even in training, since his match up
several weeks ago with Shinsuke Nakamura.

697
00:36:39,630 --> 00:36:42,833
[Book] Actually, Stacks came to me
and we had a little conversation.

698
00:36:42,900 --> 00:36:45,736
Talking about switching gears,

699
00:36:45,803 --> 00:36:49,340
knowing how to go from that first gear
to fourth gear on a moment's notice.

700
00:36:49,407 --> 00:36:53,678
We're going to see what happens
here tonight with this big kid.

701
00:36:54,679 --> 00:36:58,182
[Vic] Walker taking it
to "Stacks" Lorenzo in this match up.

702
00:36:58,249 --> 00:37:00,151
Quite a moment for both
these superstars here.

703
00:37:00,218 --> 00:37:04,488
We talk about NXT, we also talk about
a big weekend in sports and entertainment.

704
00:37:04,555 --> 00:37:06,591
I got to get your thoughts on Logan Paul

705
00:37:06,657 --> 00:37:08,559
after what we witnessed Saturday
at Crown Jewel.

706
00:37:08,626 --> 00:37:11,062
[Book] Logan Paul,
he's a tremendous athlete.

707
00:37:11,128 --> 00:37:13,965
The kid has all the tools,
just came up a little bit short,

708
00:37:14,031 --> 00:37:16,067
but you got to understand, he was in there

709
00:37:16,133 --> 00:37:19,604
with the Head of the Table, Roman Reigns,

710
00:37:19,670 --> 00:37:23,241
a bad, bad man, but a hell
of a job by Logan Paul.

711
00:37:23,307 --> 00:37:26,611
[Vic] Now you see a sign of aggression
coming out here in Stacks

712
00:37:26,677 --> 00:37:30,648
and that certainly will bring a smile
to the Don's face on the outside

713
00:37:30,715 --> 00:37:34,151
as Stacks has been in control
of this match up.

714
00:37:34,218 --> 00:37:38,556
[Book] Beautiful knee strike,
oh, wow, by Stacks.

715
00:37:39,557 --> 00:37:42,493
-Now you see why this kid--
-That could be the knockout blow.

716
00:37:42,560 --> 00:37:44,996
[Vic] That knee right to the temple
and a near fall.

717
00:37:45,062 --> 00:37:47,498
[Book] I look at Stacks
like the under-boss.

718
00:37:47,565 --> 00:37:50,501
Right now, he's proving his ground.

719
00:37:52,803 --> 00:37:54,839
-[Vic] Take another look. Bam.
-Wow.

720
00:37:54,905 --> 00:37:57,842
[Vic] Right under the jaw. Uh-oh.

721
00:37:57,908 --> 00:38:00,378
I think Walker's done messing around.

722
00:38:01,846 --> 00:38:05,049
-Oh, big powerful clothesline.
-Big shot.

723
00:38:05,116 --> 00:38:07,084
[Vic] Walker again now.

724
00:38:07,151 --> 00:38:10,221
Lou Thesz press, rights after rights.

725
00:38:10,288 --> 00:38:13,624
For Walker, he's a complete opposite
of anyone that's in the family.

726
00:38:13,691 --> 00:38:17,228
He's working hard. He came from the bottom
trying to get to the top, Book.

727
00:38:17,295 --> 00:38:19,764
[Book] Yes. He doesn't even have
wrestling gear.

728
00:38:19,830 --> 00:38:24,301
The guy needs some money and tonight
he's going to need some payoff.

729
00:38:24,368 --> 00:38:25,603
[crowd cheering]

730
00:38:25,670 --> 00:38:28,372
[Vic] To that point,
he just ruined his shirt.

731
00:38:28,439 --> 00:38:30,741
[Book] He definitely need a payoff now.

732
00:38:31,642 --> 00:38:32,777
[Vic] Ooh.

733
00:38:32,843 --> 00:38:35,079
He could be closing in on one, Book.

734
00:38:35,146 --> 00:38:38,249
This would be a huge statement victory
for Walker.

735
00:38:38,316 --> 00:38:41,052
[Book] Stacks in a bad position
in a bad, bad way.

736
00:38:41,118 --> 00:38:45,556
That's the country strength
I'm talking about in Hank Walker.

737
00:38:45,623 --> 00:38:47,792
[crowd cheers]

738
00:38:47,858 --> 00:38:50,161
[Vic] You can hear the NXT universe,
but this is what I mean

739
00:38:50,227 --> 00:38:52,863
from that aspiring superstar,
this is the rise--

740
00:38:52,930 --> 00:38:56,267
[Book] Oh, that was not a good
move right there by Stacks.

741
00:38:56,334 --> 00:38:59,570
You think you can slap me?
You think you can slap me like that?

742
00:38:59,637 --> 00:39:02,840
[Vic] Oh. That was to the eye.
That was a thumb to the eye.

743
00:39:02,907 --> 00:39:05,643
Walker's blind. From behind, Stacks.

744
00:39:05,710 --> 00:39:08,245
Oh, almost stole one here tonight.

745
00:39:08,312 --> 00:39:13,184
[Book] Oh, that was an opportunity, and
the door just opened for this kid, Stacks.

746
00:39:13,250 --> 00:39:14,719
You got to play to win.

747
00:39:14,785 --> 00:39:19,457
[Vic] Well, the door's certainly open
and Stacks just slammed it shut tonight.

748
00:39:19,523 --> 00:39:23,394
[announcer] Here is your winner,
Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo.

749
00:39:23,461 --> 00:39:25,096
That's what I'm talking about, Stacks.

750
00:39:25,162 --> 00:39:30,701
[Vic] Big thumbs up from the Don
as the Stacks proving once again.

751
00:39:30,768 --> 00:39:32,770
[Stacks' music playing]

752
00:39:34,472 --> 00:39:37,508
Attention all you beautiful
Grayson Waller fans

753
00:39:37,575 --> 00:39:42,313
and all you mindless, dense, halfwit,
simpleton non-Grayson Waller fans.

754
00:39:42,380 --> 00:39:45,783
Don't bother changing the channel. There's
nothing bigger than what I got going on,

755
00:39:45,850 --> 00:39:48,552
so log onto my Instagram,
start sending your questions

756
00:39:48,619 --> 00:39:51,555

757
00:39:51,622 --> 00:39:53,724

Welcome to the Grayson Waller effect.

764
00:40:31,929 --> 00:40:36,333
Once again, all eyes on me so let's get
that GWE TV camera on me right now.

765
00:40:36,400 --> 00:40:39,203
I'm looking good tonight,
ladies and gentlemen.

766
00:40:40,137 --> 00:40:42,273
Once again, I'm live on Instagram.

767
00:40:42,339 --> 00:40:45,109
Hold on. Well, maybe Truth's in here.

768
00:40:45,176 --> 00:40:47,344
What's up, Truth?

769
00:40:47,411 --> 00:40:50,781
Sitting at home recuperating
after I whipped your ass last week?

770
00:40:50,848 --> 00:40:52,716
Hey, maybe little Jimmy
could get you a soda.

771
00:40:52,783 --> 00:40:54,585
[chuckles]

772
00:40:54,652 --> 00:40:58,289
Regardless, once again
I am bringing you can't miss television.

773
00:40:58,355 --> 00:41:02,359
Next week, two titans
fight for the NXT championship,

774
00:41:02,426 --> 00:41:04,061
so let's bring them out.

775
00:41:04,128 --> 00:41:06,063
First of all, the challenger,

776
00:41:06,130 --> 00:41:09,533
big Von Wagner.

777
00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:13,003
[Von Wagner's music plays]

778
00:41:18,309 --> 00:41:20,277
[Vic] Well, Waller has the big part.

779
00:41:20,344 --> 00:41:24,849
Bron Breakker has never faced
someone as big as Von Wagner,

780
00:41:24,915 --> 00:41:27,218
has never had to look up at a challenger,

781
00:41:27,284 --> 00:41:31,622
has never faced anyone, dare I say,
more powerful than he.

782
00:41:31,689 --> 00:41:34,725
[Book] Hey, Vic, ask me
what I think about Von Wagner.

783
00:41:34,792 --> 00:41:37,027
[Vic] Book, what do you think
of Von Wagner?

784
00:41:37,094 --> 00:41:38,829
[Book] He's a big guy.

785
00:41:38,896 --> 00:41:41,265
[music continues]

786
00:41:50,174 --> 00:41:52,443
And his opponent,

787
00:41:52,509 --> 00:41:54,912
the NXT champion.

788
00:41:54,979 --> 00:41:57,114
Let me hear you bark. [barks]

789
00:41:57,181 --> 00:41:59,917
Bron Breakker.

790

[Bron Breakker's music plays]

791
00:42:09,760 --> 00:42:11,562
[Vic] I walked into that one,
didn't I, Book?

792
00:42:11,629 --> 00:42:16,200
Certainly did,
but there is the NXT champion

793
00:42:16,267 --> 00:42:19,069
spotting a jacket
that looks very familiar.

794
00:42:19,136 --> 00:42:20,237
[Book] Yes, indeed.

795
00:42:20,304 --> 00:42:24,842
Channeling his inner dog-faced gremlin,
Rick Steiner

796
00:42:24,909 --> 00:42:28,078
who I know very, very well.

797
00:42:28,145 --> 00:42:31,015
-[Vic] Bron's got that dog in him?
-Yes, indeed.

798
00:42:31,081 --> 00:42:33,450
[Book barks]

799
00:42:34,585 --> 00:42:36,320
[crowd barking]

800
00:42:37,221 --> 00:42:41,458
[Vic] You can feel the love
from the NXT universe to the NXT campion,

801
00:42:41,525 --> 00:42:45,162
and what a showdown we'll have next week

802
00:42:45,229 --> 00:42:48,432
for the NXT title, Breakker/Wagner.

803
00:42:48,499 --> 00:42:50,467
[music continues]

804
00:42:50,534 --> 00:42:53,237
Bron, Von, welcome.

805
00:42:53,304 --> 00:42:56,240
The chat's already going off,
so we're getting straight to it.

806
00:42:56,307 --> 00:42:58,475
I've got a comment I want
to put up on the screen, Von.

807
00:42:58,542 --> 00:43:00,878
Something that I think
you might want to see.

808
00:43:00,945 --> 00:43:05,282
Carmelo Hayes is stuck
in the North American title division,

809
00:43:05,349 --> 00:43:10,254
but Von Wagner gets the NXT
title match against Bron Breakker?

810
00:43:11,822 --> 00:43:13,624
I keep seeing it on social media, Von.

811
00:43:13,691 --> 00:43:17,227
The NXT universe doesn't think
you deserve a championship match.

812
00:43:17,294 --> 00:43:19,363
They think Melo does.

813
00:43:19,430 --> 00:43:22,299
Ten times as many people think
Grayson Waller does.

814
00:43:22,366 --> 00:43:24,768
[crowd cheers]

815
00:43:24,835 --> 00:43:28,405
How does it feel knowing the NXT universe
thinks that about you?

816
00:43:29,573 --> 00:43:32,977
Wow, breaking news,

817
00:43:33,043 --> 00:43:36,614
more people don't like Von Wagner.

818
00:43:36,680 --> 00:43:39,083
Hey, Waller, who said that stupid comment?

819
00:43:39,149 --> 00:43:41,518
-I think the name was--
-Oh, Joe.

820
00:43:41,585 --> 00:43:44,288
Hey, Joe, everybody, Joe Blow.

821
00:43:44,355 --> 00:43:46,624
I guess Joe Blow

822
00:43:46,690 --> 00:43:49,893
thinks that he's in charge of NXT now.

823
00:43:49,960 --> 00:43:51,862
Rob, how about that?

824
00:43:51,929 --> 00:43:54,798
Let's be real. The NXT universe,

825
00:43:54,865 --> 00:43:58,669
they never gave this guy
a chance, and why would they?

826
00:43:58,736 --> 00:44:01,739
They're jealous of him, okay?

827
00:44:01,805 --> 00:44:05,676
Because he is a once-in-a-generation
kind of athlete, Grayson.

828
00:44:06,977 --> 00:44:12,316
Look, I don't expect
the NXT universe to like me.

829
00:44:13,350 --> 00:44:17,888
I'm not here to be popular
or be a fan favorite like you, Bron.

830
00:44:18,922 --> 00:44:23,727
These people, they can piss and moan
all they want on social media.

831
00:44:23,794 --> 00:44:26,897
At the end of the day,
I'm here for one thing

832
00:44:26,964 --> 00:44:29,967
and one thing only, and it's that title.

833
00:44:30,034 --> 00:44:33,337
And Bron, I left you laying last week,

834
00:44:33,404 --> 00:44:35,272
and my buddy old pal,

835
00:44:35,339 --> 00:44:38,108
nothing's going to change next week.

836
00:44:38,976 --> 00:44:42,112
Don't get ahead of yourself, all right?
Powerful, you're dangerous.

837
00:44:42,179 --> 00:44:43,747
Oh, wait. Hold on a second, Bron.

838
00:44:43,814 --> 00:44:47,951
He's actually more powerful
and more dangerous

839
00:44:48,018 --> 00:44:50,721
than anyone you've ever been
in the ring with.

840
00:44:50,788 --> 00:44:55,959
And to up that a little bit,
I'll even put you on that list, Breakker.

841
00:44:56,560 --> 00:44:59,029
Look, I'm not going to disagree
with you, all right?

842
00:44:59,096 --> 00:45:03,767
When you put the statistics side by side,
it looks like an even match up, okay?

843
00:45:06,570 --> 00:45:09,606
How about you try that crap
you pulled last week

844
00:45:09,673 --> 00:45:12,710
face-to-face with me instead
of attacking me from behind, huh?

845
00:45:12,776 --> 00:45:15,746
Hey, hey, hey. Lads, relax. Chill. Chill.

846
00:45:15,813 --> 00:45:18,582
There's a comment I saw
that I really want you to see, Bron.

847
00:45:18,649 --> 00:45:21,151
I think this is important.
Let's put it up on the screen.

848
00:45:21,218 --> 00:45:24,721
"I'm ready to see
anyone beat Bron Breakker."

849
00:45:24,788 --> 00:45:26,757
-[laughs]
-[crowd cheering]

850
00:45:27,925 --> 00:45:30,861
I can't say I disagree, lad,

851
00:45:30,928 --> 00:45:33,397
and if it's not Von,

852
00:45:33,464 --> 00:45:36,734
I can think of someone way more handsome

853
00:45:36,800 --> 00:45:39,470
that could take
that championship from you,

854
00:45:40,738 --> 00:45:44,274
but that's a story for a different day,
Mr Intensity.

855
00:45:44,341 --> 00:45:46,143
But under all that muscle,

856
00:45:46,210 --> 00:45:48,545
I know you have a heart.

857
00:45:48,612 --> 00:45:50,814
How does it feel
seeing comments like that, mate?

858
00:45:50,881 --> 00:45:55,586
Look, I don't dislike these people.
I understand where they're coming from.

859
00:45:55,652 --> 00:45:57,721
NXT is all about the future, right?

860
00:45:57,788 --> 00:46:01,592
It's about finding the next big thing,
and a year ago, that was me.

861
00:46:01,658 --> 00:46:04,661
I was on the up and come,
but now I'm the NXT champion

862
00:46:04,728 --> 00:46:08,632
and I've had the honor to learn from guys
like Ciampa and Gargano

863
00:46:08,699 --> 00:46:11,769
that if you want something
in this business, you've got to go out

864
00:46:11,835 --> 00:46:13,537
and you've got to take it.

865
00:46:13,604 --> 00:46:15,772
[weak cheering from crowd]

866
00:46:16,507 --> 00:46:18,675
You see this championship
that you want so bad?

867
00:46:18,742 --> 00:46:21,245
The history goes back a long way, my man.

868
00:46:21,311 --> 00:46:25,749
Seth Rollins, Shinsuke Nakamura,
Kevin Owens,

869
00:46:25,816 --> 00:46:30,521
all those guys were in the exact same spot
that I'm in right now.

870
00:46:30,587 --> 00:46:34,057
Everyone in that locker room
wants a shot at this championship.

871
00:46:34,124 --> 00:46:36,360
Hell, you're getting a chance next week,

872
00:46:36,426 --> 00:46:40,097
JD McDonagh is breathing down my neck,
Apollo Crews, he wants a shot.

873
00:46:42,132 --> 00:46:44,067
Apollo, I said your name, are you happy?

874
00:46:45,402 --> 00:46:48,238
You know what the one thing is

875
00:46:48,305 --> 00:46:50,941
that you and those guys have in common?

876
00:46:51,008 --> 00:46:54,311
Is that no one
is taking this away from me.

877
00:46:55,312 --> 00:46:57,614
I'm going to be the guy to take it.

878
00:46:57,681 --> 00:47:00,083
-It's easier said than done, pal.
-Hey, look at me.

879
00:47:00,150 --> 00:47:02,586
Look at me when I'm talking to you.

880
00:47:03,320 --> 00:47:05,923
-You're a nervous champion, Bron.
-No, shut up.

881
00:47:05,989 --> 00:47:08,625
Breakker, I am dangerous.

882
00:47:08,692 --> 00:47:11,895
The first time I stepped foot
in this building, I got a title shot.

883
00:47:11,962 --> 00:47:16,366
It took Tomasso Ciampa,
Pete Dunn, and LA Knight to stop me.

884
00:47:16,433 --> 00:47:18,902
And next week, it's just you and me

885
00:47:18,969 --> 00:47:22,706
and I'm going to ragdoll
your ass all around this ring.

886
00:47:22,773 --> 00:47:24,675
Yes, you're second generation.

887
00:47:24,741 --> 00:47:26,577
Big deal, so am I,

888
00:47:26,643 --> 00:47:28,879
and I didn't use it
to get my foot in the door

889
00:47:28,946 --> 00:47:34,651
and I damn sure didn't use it to gain
any stroke around this building.

890
00:47:34,718 --> 00:47:37,654
I ain't going to need next week

891
00:47:37,721 --> 00:47:41,124
to rip that title right off your shoulder.

892
00:47:41,191 --> 00:47:45,262
Yes? How about you come and try
to take it off my shoulder right now?

893
00:47:45,329 --> 00:47:47,531
-[crowd clamoring]
-Wait for next week, Von.

894
00:47:47,598 --> 00:47:49,666
Come on. Come on.

895
00:47:51,068 --> 00:47:53,136
Wait for next week, Von.

896
00:47:53,203 --> 00:47:55,672
Do not do this. Wait for Tuesday.

897
00:47:55,739 --> 00:47:57,741
This is not the time.

898
00:47:57,808 --> 00:47:59,610
[crowd] Oh.

899
00:48:02,579 --> 00:48:04,114
[Bron Breakker's music plays]

900
00:48:04,181 --> 00:48:06,450
[Vic] Tensions certainly rising.

901
00:48:06,516 --> 00:48:08,051
Breakker's greatest challenge.

902
00:48:08,118 --> 00:48:11,855
Wagner/Breakker,
one-on-one first time ever next week.

903
00:48:11,922 --> 00:48:13,924
[music continues]

904
00:48:13,991 --> 00:48:17,494
Wes Lee, a roller coaster of emotions
for you over the past couple of weeks

905
00:48:17,561 --> 00:48:20,130
from winning the North American
Championship at Halloween Havoc

906
00:48:20,197 --> 00:48:23,267
to almost becoming a double champion
last week in the main event

907
00:48:23,333 --> 00:48:26,670
until Carmelo Hayes came out
and prevented that from happening.

908
00:48:26,737 --> 00:48:30,274
Yes, I can't lie, being
a champ-champ is history book stuff,

909
00:48:30,340 --> 00:48:32,509
so not winning last week hurt,

910
00:48:32,576 --> 00:48:35,078
but I'm thinking about
what Melo said in the barbershop more.

911
00:48:35,145 --> 00:48:36,913
He's right, you know.

912
00:48:36,980 --> 00:48:39,016
He was never pinned for this championship,

913
00:48:39,082 --> 00:48:43,053
and he's made this title
the A title in the process,

914
00:48:43,120 --> 00:48:46,256
but my career was supposed
to be over back in April,

915
00:48:46,323 --> 00:48:47,958
and I'm still here.

916
00:48:48,025 --> 00:48:51,662
This tag-team competitor was never
supposed to hold singles gold,

917
00:48:51,728 --> 00:48:54,264
yet here I am with this over my shoulder.

918
00:48:54,331 --> 00:48:57,567
I'm the North American champion,
and in two weeks,

919
00:48:57,634 --> 00:49:02,005
I go one-on-one with the man who
has been untouchable for over a year,

920
00:49:02,072 --> 00:49:05,709
but somehow, I'm going to make Melo miss.

921
00:49:05,776 --> 00:49:09,046
Next week he wants to sign
the paperwork, make it official,

922
00:49:09,112 --> 00:49:12,749
and no matter what he brings to the table,
he's not going to throw me off

923
00:49:12,816 --> 00:49:16,720
because I'm on a roll like butter
that you get once in a career

924
00:49:16,787 --> 00:49:19,289
and not even Carmelo Hayes can stop it.

925
00:49:19,356 --> 00:49:20,757
-You feel me?
-I feel you.

926
00:49:20,824 --> 00:49:23,026
All right, McKenzie, you be safe.

927
00:49:23,093 --> 00:49:25,295
[hip-hop music]

928
00:49:25,362 --> 00:49:27,030
[Vic] Still to come here tonight,

929
00:49:27,097 --> 00:49:30,200
after a very interesting interaction
earlier tonight,

930
00:49:30,267 --> 00:49:33,837
Axiom, who stood up for his friend,
is getting the match he wanted.

931
00:49:33,904 --> 00:49:36,606
He's going to go toe-to-toe
with JD McDonagh

932
00:49:36,673 --> 00:49:39,743
who is as focused and as menacing as ever.

933
00:49:39,810 --> 00:49:45,248
These two square off one-on-one
when NXT comes back live here on USA.

934
00:49:50,554 --> 00:49:53,991
[Vic] Jade made Feroz pay
since the very beginning.

935
00:49:54,057 --> 00:49:56,626
Who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are, girl?

936
00:49:56,693 --> 00:49:57,995
[Vic] Ref?

937
00:49:58,061 --> 00:49:59,896
[Vic] There's Wendy Choo.

938
00:49:59,963 --> 00:50:01,565
[Book] Oh, here we go.

939
00:50:01,631 --> 00:50:02,966
[woman] Wendy Choo.

940
00:50:03,033 --> 00:50:05,369
[Book] She's got that kendo stick in hand.

941
00:50:06,570 --> 00:50:08,705
[Cora] Last week you got involved
in something

942
00:50:08,772 --> 00:50:12,476
that had absolutely
nothing to do with you.

943
00:50:12,542 --> 00:50:16,380
[Vic] Cora Jade just found herself
a new problem in Wendy Choo.

944
00:50:16,446 --> 00:50:18,248
You just drop
into other people's business.

945
00:50:18,315 --> 00:50:21,284
Hell, you got all up in mine,
and then you made the save

946
00:50:21,351 --> 00:50:24,154
for someone you probably don't even know.

947
00:50:24,221 --> 00:50:25,622
Let's go.

948
00:50:25,689 --> 00:50:29,559
Wendy, you don't have a hero complex,
you got a friend complex.

949
00:50:29,626 --> 00:50:32,295
How do I know
such an intimate little detail?

950
00:50:32,362 --> 00:50:35,365
I don't know you.
I don't want to know you.

951
00:50:35,432 --> 00:50:38,835
But the fact is that you reek
of desperation.

952
00:50:38,902 --> 00:50:41,471
Not desperate in the ring,
we already know you can go,

953
00:50:42,539 --> 00:50:46,710
but desperate to be liked, to be accepted.

954
00:50:46,777 --> 00:50:49,613
You were the girl who sits alone
at the lunch table.

955
00:50:49,679 --> 00:50:51,982
The girl who sits by her phone
every Friday night

956
00:50:52,049 --> 00:50:55,519
just hoping and praying that
you would get a text to come hang out

957
00:50:55,585 --> 00:50:57,054
with one of the popular girls.

958
00:50:57,120 --> 00:51:02,325
But, Wendy, you and I both know
that text never came.

959
00:51:03,894 --> 00:51:07,631
Wendy, you need to accept the fact
that no matter how hard you try,

960
00:51:07,697 --> 00:51:09,733
you will never be in.

961
00:51:10,500 --> 00:51:12,469
-Get out.
-As a matter of fact,

962
00:51:12,536 --> 00:51:15,772
you will always be
on the outside looking in.

963
00:51:17,507 --> 00:51:20,811
You can't get one up on me.
I run this place.

964
00:51:20,877 --> 00:51:23,980
The next time you want
to make a friend at my expense,

965
00:51:25,248 --> 00:51:27,050
think twice about it.

966
00:51:31,721 --> 00:51:34,024

both final preparations being put in

967
00:51:34,091 --> 00:51:36,960
by the challengers,
Nikkita Lyons/Zoey Stark

968
00:51:37,027 --> 00:51:39,930
looking to finally capture gold
here tonight.

969
00:51:39,996 --> 00:51:43,934
Of course the NXT women's tag team titles
in our main event still to come.

970
00:51:44,000 --> 00:51:48,238
Book, we talk about NXT,
NXT is all about the future,

971
00:51:48,305 --> 00:51:51,641
and the WWE and Apollo Crews
are on a mission.

972
00:51:53,877 --> 00:51:55,512
It's your boy Apollo Crews here

973
00:51:55,579 --> 00:51:59,015
as I'm halfway across the world
in Lagos, Nigeria,

974
00:51:59,082 --> 00:52:03,553
helping WWE in their search
for the next African superstar.

975
00:52:03,620 --> 00:52:06,756
There is a lot of talent out here
that could easily be the one.

976
00:52:06,823 --> 00:52:09,159
When it comes to the search

977
00:52:09,226 --> 00:52:12,529
for the next NXT champion,
you don't have to look too far.

978
00:52:12,596 --> 00:52:14,564
As a matter of fact,
you don't have to go anywhere,

979
00:52:14,631 --> 00:52:18,668
so look deep into these eyes,
Bron Breakker, but don't get lost,

980
00:52:18,735 --> 00:52:21,705
because your next NXT champion

981
00:52:21,771 --> 00:52:23,340
is right here.

[Vic] Here also comes a superstar

984

who believes he is the next
to wear the NXT title.

985
00:52:32,582 --> 00:52:33,750
[bell rings]

986
00:52:33,817 --> 00:52:36,186
[announcer] The following contest
is scheduled for one fall.

987
00:52:36,253 --> 00:52:40,690
Introducing first, JD McDonagh.

988
00:52:40,757 --> 00:52:42,959
[music continues]

989
00:52:56,806 --> 00:52:58,675
[music continues]

990
00:53:05,115 --> 00:53:06,917
[music continues]

991
00:53:12,489 --> 00:53:14,791
[Vic] Let's focus in
on the here and the now,

992
00:53:14,858 --> 00:53:18,461
as we've been talking about
all night long, so much going on in NXT.

993
00:53:18,528 --> 00:53:20,830
This match up made official earlier tonight

994
00:53:20,897 --> 00:53:24,067
after what we call
a very interesting interaction

995
00:53:24,134 --> 00:53:26,970
between McDonagh and this superstar.

996
00:53:27,037 --> 00:53:30,207
[Axiom's music plays]

997
00:53:36,146 --> 00:53:38,381
[crowd cheering]

998
00:53:38,448 --> 00:53:40,050
[music continues]

999
00:53:45,622 --> 00:53:47,424
[announcer] His opponent,

1000
00:53:47,490 --> 00:53:49,693
Axiom.

1001
00:53:49,759 --> 00:53:52,596
[Vic] Book, both these superstars
pride themselves

1002
00:53:52,662 --> 00:53:54,931
on being able to break down an opponent.

1003
00:53:54,998 --> 00:53:57,000
Whatever you want to say
about JD McDonagh,

1004
00:53:57,067 --> 00:54:00,837
however you want to view both these guys,
who is the favorite to you in this match?

1005
00:54:00,904 --> 00:54:03,506
I think I already know
where you're going to go with this.

1006
00:54:03,573 --> 00:54:05,575
[Book] You know it's hard to say
who's the favorite,

1007
00:54:05,642 --> 00:54:09,079
because I'm going to tell you,
Axiom is like the matrix.

1008
00:54:09,145 --> 00:54:12,682
This kid has moves
that I have never seen before.

1009
00:54:12,749 --> 00:54:15,185
He is working on being one of the greatest

1010
00:54:15,252 --> 00:54:20,123
if not the greatest masked superstar
of this modern era.

1011
00:54:20,190 --> 00:54:23,126
I'm going to tell you
what he has in front of him,

1012
00:54:23,193 --> 00:54:26,563
JD McDonagh, the number one stunner.

1013
00:54:26,630 --> 00:54:29,532
Oh, my God, this is going to be a match.

1014
00:54:29,599 --> 00:54:33,903
[Vic] McDonagh didn't take very kindly
to Axiom's comments earlier tonight.

1015
00:54:33,970 --> 00:54:36,506
-Axiom was sticking up for his friend.
-[bell rings]

1016
00:54:36,573 --> 00:54:38,441
[Vic] Nothing wrong with that.

1017
00:54:38,508 --> 00:54:41,878
[Book] It's about vengeance, it's about
checks, it's about championships.

1018
00:54:41,945 --> 00:54:45,815
I put both of these young men,
Axiom/JD McDonagh

1019
00:54:45,882 --> 00:54:49,886
under that banner, precision technician.

1020
00:54:49,953 --> 00:54:51,921
-Oh, this is going to be good.
-Oh.

1021
00:54:52,989 --> 00:54:56,092
[Vic] Quickly now, McDonagh
finding himself on top in this match up.

1022
00:54:56,159 --> 00:54:58,328
[Book] Oh, fast pace.

1023
00:54:58,395 --> 00:55:00,430
You got to stay with this, Vic,
you got to stay with it.

1024
00:55:00,497 --> 00:55:03,066
[Vic] A lot of daggers were thrown
back and forth between these two.

1025
00:55:03,133 --> 00:55:07,037
There is urgency in this match
for both these superstars.

1026
00:55:07,103 --> 00:55:12,008
[Book] It is, but I tell you it's about
the competition with these young guys,

1027
00:55:12,075 --> 00:55:14,911
it's about going out there
and seeing exactly who's the best.

1028
00:55:14,978 --> 00:55:19,182
McDonagh came in at number two
on my fave five this week.

1029
00:55:19,249 --> 00:55:23,119
Let's see if Axiom
can put himself in position.

1030
00:55:23,186 --> 00:55:26,856
[Vic] Nice move by Axiom,
and look, he's as fast as they come,

1031
00:55:26,923 --> 00:55:30,827
but he certainly knows all of the angles
when he is in the squared circle.

1032
00:55:30,894 --> 00:55:33,296
We talk about how quick
he moves, what he can do.

1033
00:55:33,363 --> 00:55:35,965
Let's put it bluntly, he does moves
that you thought

1034
00:55:36,032 --> 00:55:39,703
-you could only create in video games.
-No, no, this kid is special.

1035
00:55:39,769 --> 00:55:42,906
[Book] He's what we call extraordinary.

1036
00:55:42,972 --> 00:55:45,875
We're going to see exactly
what he's made of in this match up,

1037
00:55:45,942 --> 00:55:48,311
because you got to have a killer instinct.
Oh, here we go.

1038
00:55:48,378 --> 00:55:50,313
[Vic] Backslide, shoulders down,
near fall.

1039
00:55:50,380 --> 00:55:52,248
[Book] Like I was saying, you got
to have a killer instinct in there

1040
00:55:52,315 --> 00:55:57,420
with JD McDonagh, because if he gets you
in his sights, man, it's over.

1041
00:55:57,487 --> 00:56:00,557
[Vic] Whoa, and that kick
almost connected McDonagh.

1042
00:56:00,623 --> 00:56:04,160
[Book] I don't like that right there.
Axiom needs to stay on this kid McDonagh.

1043
00:56:04,227 --> 00:56:07,731
You don't let a man
like McDonagh have any space.

1044
00:56:07,797 --> 00:56:11,067
[Vic] Right now, McDonagh
trying to slow the pace of this match up

1045
00:56:11,134 --> 00:56:14,404
because Axiom was starting
to get rolling, to your point, Book,

1046
00:56:14,471 --> 00:56:17,707
in this match up, but now taken down.
McDonagh, shoulders are down.

1047
00:56:17,774 --> 00:56:20,543
Axiom able to get his right shoulder up
off the canvas at one.

1048
00:56:20,610 --> 00:56:24,481
This is somewhat contrasting styles,
or do you see them evenly matched?

1049
00:56:24,547 --> 00:56:26,416
[Book] No, these guys are evenly matched.

1050
00:56:26,483 --> 00:56:29,486
I go back just a month or so ago,

1051
00:56:29,552 --> 00:56:32,222
Axiom and Nathan Frazer

1052
00:56:32,288 --> 00:56:35,492
for that one spot against Carmelo Hayes.

1053
00:56:35,558 --> 00:56:39,462
They came up short, but my thing is,
this, man, they're gifted.

1054
00:56:39,529 --> 00:56:41,264
It's all about the competition.

1055
00:56:41,331 --> 00:56:45,101
Surfboard right here, just making
this man feel like, "Oh, my God."

1056
00:56:45,168 --> 00:56:47,971
[Vic] If you go back earlier
in the match up, it was JD McDonagh

1057
00:56:48,037 --> 00:56:51,741
who had two quick strikes
to the shoulders of Axiom,

1058
00:56:51,808 --> 00:56:54,110
certainly that's playing a part
in this moment of the match up.

1059
00:56:54,177 --> 00:56:58,248
Shoulders are down, and Axiom just getting
that right shoulder off the mat at two.

1060
00:56:58,314 --> 00:57:02,118
Referee is in great position. This time
it's the left shoulder coming off the mat.

1061
00:57:02,185 --> 00:57:05,355
-[Book] We got two great athletes.
-Oh, look at the neck strength.

1062
00:57:05,422 --> 00:57:09,826
Axiom certainly showcasing
some core strength.

1063
00:57:09,893 --> 00:57:12,362
Up, over, shoulders down.

1064
00:57:12,428 --> 00:57:14,431
Deep hook, and another near fall.

1065
00:57:14,497 --> 00:57:16,666
This is tit for tat action
between these two.

1066
00:57:16,733 --> 00:57:19,235
There's that quickness
that Axiom possesses.

1067
00:57:19,302 --> 00:57:22,038
That time the kick connects.
McDonagh sent to the outside.

1068
00:57:22,105 --> 00:57:26,743
[Book] Very, very fluid by Axiom,
as well as innovative.

1069
00:57:26,810 --> 00:57:29,345
-Oh, my goodness.
-McDonagh crash and burn.

1070
00:57:29,412 --> 00:57:31,815
[Vic] Axiom's rolling. McDonagh's furious.

1071
00:57:31,881 --> 00:57:33,950
What a match on NXT.

1072
00:57:34,017 --> 00:57:35,852
[crowd chanting]

1073
00:57:38,788 --> 00:57:43,760
[Vic] Back live on NXT.
McDonagh right now in control of Axiom.

1074
00:57:43,827 --> 00:57:47,964
Much to the dismay
of the NXT universe here tonight.

1075
00:57:48,031 --> 00:57:50,533
Look, Axiom was rolling
in this match up. Bam.

1076
00:57:50,600 --> 00:57:54,637
Using his quickness, using his speed,
but the same could be said for McDonagh.

1077
00:57:54,704 --> 00:57:56,639
This is where it all began. Boom.

1078
00:57:56,706 --> 00:58:00,076
Where McDonagh started to focus
on a body part, the knees,

1079
00:58:00,143 --> 00:58:04,080
the lower body, starting
to surgically dissect Axiom.

1080
00:58:04,147 --> 00:58:06,950
Trying to keep Axiom
on the mat and not to allow him

1081
00:58:07,016 --> 00:58:09,552
to use that quickness and that speed
to his advantage.

1082
00:58:09,619 --> 00:58:12,856
[Book] No, McDonagh just seems
to be one, maybe two steps

1083
00:58:12,922 --> 00:58:16,459
ahead of Axiom at this point,
but right now

1084
00:58:16,526 --> 00:58:18,661
that's all it takes right there
for this kid.

1085
00:58:18,728 --> 00:58:20,296
He's quick as a cat.

1086
00:58:20,363 --> 00:58:22,665
[Vic] So much has been taken out,
you saw right after the kick,

1087
00:58:22,732 --> 00:58:25,902
Axiom reached for his left knee,
the knee that was damaged,

1088
00:58:25,969 --> 00:58:28,137
as we just saw, from the steel steps.

1089
00:58:28,204 --> 00:58:31,541
As McDonagh now has found
a body part, and we all know

1090
00:58:31,608 --> 00:58:35,979
that when McDonagh focuses on a body
part, he is as surgical as they come.

1091
00:58:36,045 --> 00:58:39,349
But Axiom trying to block out
the pain, fight through it all.

1092
00:58:39,415 --> 00:58:41,317
That's just one thing,
it's called adrenaline.

1093
00:58:41,384 --> 00:58:44,120
-[Vic] Oh.
-Right now with Axiom.

1094
00:58:44,187 --> 00:58:46,456
[Book] He's just going to have
to fight through the pain.

1095
00:58:46,522 --> 00:58:49,792
I'm going to tell you right now, this kid,
I know what he's thinking right now.

1096
00:58:49,859 --> 00:58:52,161
I know what he's thinking right now.

1097
00:58:52,228 --> 00:58:55,765
[Vic] Adrenaline will make a man
do crazy things.

1098
00:58:55,832 --> 00:58:57,567
[Book] Oh, don't do it.

1099
00:58:57,634 --> 00:59:01,571
[Vic] Axiom, from the comic book
to your screen.

1100
00:59:01,638 --> 00:59:04,040
High risk, all reward.

1101
00:59:04,107 --> 00:59:06,209
-[crowd cheering]
-I told you, Vic.

1102
00:59:06,276 --> 00:59:08,511
[Axiom groaning]

1103
00:59:08,578 --> 00:59:10,780
[Vic] Axiom's left knee, his right knee,

1104
00:59:10,847 --> 00:59:14,183
he is fighting
through the pain here tonight.

1105
00:59:14,250 --> 00:59:16,786
-[crowd chanting] NXT. NXT.
-[Vic] Take a look at this action first.

1106
00:59:16,853 --> 00:59:20,523
Boom. The dropkick right under the jaw,
perfect precision,

1107
00:59:20,590 --> 00:59:22,425
and then this moonsault,

1108
00:59:22,492 --> 00:59:25,795
picture perfect once again from Axiom.

1109
00:59:25,862 --> 00:59:29,198
Did you notice the rough landing
to the lower extremities?

1110
00:59:29,265 --> 00:59:31,034
And now again grabbing his knees.

1111
00:59:31,100 --> 00:59:33,236
[Book] Throwing caution
to the wind right there, Axiom,

1112
00:59:33,303 --> 00:59:37,407
that's one thing about a move
like that, risk and reward.

1113
00:59:37,473 --> 00:59:39,976
Right now I don't think
it was a good payoff there.

1114
00:59:40,043 --> 00:59:42,278
[Vic] Referee now, his count
for both these superstars

1115
00:59:42,345 --> 00:59:44,213
nearing the 10, it's at 7.

1116
00:59:44,280 --> 00:59:47,617
Axiom now trying to get back
to his feet, as is McDonagh.

1117
00:59:47,684 --> 00:59:50,820
Referee is now at nine, one more second.
Axiom breaks the count.

1118
00:59:50,887 --> 00:59:55,591
McDonagh just, just got
in before the count of 10.

1119
00:59:55,658 --> 00:59:57,093
[Book] Barely got in right there.

1120
00:59:57,160 --> 00:59:59,195
[Vic] You wonder,
is McDonagh's mind elsewhere?

1121
00:59:59,262 --> 01:00:01,864
You got to imagine he saw what went down
on the Grayson Waller effect.

1122
01:00:01,931 --> 01:00:04,133
[Book] That's the toughness
right there from this kid, Axiom.

1123
01:00:04,200 --> 01:00:08,771
He's letting it all hang out,
and McDonagh has an opponent in front.

1124
01:00:08,838 --> 01:00:12,075
-This is a competition, man.
-[crowd] Oh!

1125
01:00:12,141 --> 01:00:14,644
[Vic] McDonagh starting
to chop Axiom down.

1126
01:00:14,711 --> 01:00:18,147
He warned Apollo Crews last week
as far as threatening Crews

1127
01:00:18,214 --> 01:00:19,782
to detach his retina.

1128
01:00:19,849 --> 01:00:22,518
Right now, he's just trying
to snap the ligaments

1129
01:00:22,585 --> 01:00:25,455
and break the bones of Axiom.

1130
01:00:25,521 --> 01:00:27,690
[Book] Yes, because that's
what McDonagh is all about.

1131
01:00:27,757 --> 01:00:31,494
I've talked about being in those--
that sight in those cross hairs.

1132
01:00:31,561 --> 01:00:34,964
He's going to take you out, man.
He's not going to think about it.

1133
01:00:35,031 --> 01:00:38,101
He's going to do it. Wow, what was that?

1134
01:00:38,167 --> 01:00:40,470
-[Vic] Right into a submission.
-You got to be kidding me.

1135
01:00:40,536 --> 01:00:41,904
[Vic] Axiom now trying to squeeze.

1136
01:00:41,971 --> 01:00:44,540
How much strength goes in his legs
to squeeze that lower body,

1137
01:00:44,607 --> 01:00:47,477
and McDonagh like a weasel
gets to the bottom rope.

1138
01:00:47,543 --> 01:00:50,513
[Book] McDonagh,
he just kept his body moving,

1139
01:00:50,580 --> 01:00:54,350
and that's what he needs to do
in a situation like that with Axiom.

1140
01:00:54,417 --> 01:00:55,752
Almost got caught.

1141
01:00:55,818 --> 01:00:59,022
[crowd chanting] Axiom. Axiom.
Axiom. Axiom.

1142
01:01:02,291 --> 01:01:06,229
[Vic] Listen to the NXT universe
as Axiom trying to gear up one more time.

1143
01:01:06,295 --> 01:01:09,665
Gets side stepped,
and more time it's McDonagh now

1144
01:01:09,732 --> 01:01:11,968
trying to snatch
maybe a single leg crab, Book.

1145
01:01:12,035 --> 01:01:13,436
What's on McDonagh's mind?

1146
01:01:13,503 --> 01:01:15,805
[Book] Trying to figure out
a way to get to that spot,

1147
01:01:15,872 --> 01:01:17,874
but right now,
Axiom still got too much left.

1148
01:01:17,940 --> 01:01:20,810
-He got caught there.
-Acts of desperation.

1149
01:01:20,877 --> 01:01:24,380
[Vic] He was trying to break free,
instead gets caught in a Boston crab,

1150
01:01:24,447 --> 01:01:28,217
and there's a long way to go for Axiom.
He is being bent.

1151
01:01:28,284 --> 01:01:31,020
[Book] McDonagh, all he needs
to do is just sit back on this crab

1152
01:01:31,087 --> 01:01:32,855
and it could be all over with.

1153
01:01:32,922 --> 01:01:36,159
[Vic] Pain has to be shooting
through both knees, and Axiom reached out.

1154
01:01:36,225 --> 01:01:37,694
[Book] I don't know.

1155
01:01:37,760 --> 01:01:41,230
[Vic] Got to the bottom rope
just enough when he reached out.

1156
01:01:41,297 --> 01:01:44,600
McDonagh relinquishing the Boston crab.

1157
01:01:45,234 --> 01:01:47,703
What a match up.
This is certainly a treat for us.

1158
01:01:47,770 --> 01:01:51,407
We weren't expecting these two
to face one-on-one here tonight.

1159
01:01:51,474 --> 01:01:55,411
[Book] Definitely not the obstacle that
McDonagh thought he was going to have.

1160
01:01:55,478 --> 01:01:58,548
He's got to figure out a way
to go over it, round it, under it,

1161
01:01:58,614 --> 01:02:02,351
but tonight he may have
to just go through Axiom.

1162
01:02:02,418 --> 01:02:04,320
[Vic] We talked about
the Grayson Waller effect.

1163
01:02:04,387 --> 01:02:07,757
Right now, McDonagh cannot
be focused on Breakker, Wagner,

1164
01:02:07,824 --> 01:02:09,358
Crews, or the NXT title.

1165
01:02:09,425 --> 01:02:12,795
He's focus squarely on Axiom
because I think, to your point, Book,

1166
01:02:12,862 --> 01:02:15,932
and you hit it right on the head,
Axiom is bringing the fight,

1167
01:02:15,998 --> 01:02:18,634
-and that could be the knockout blow.
-I always talk about preparation.

1168
01:02:18,701 --> 01:02:20,236
[Book] Luck you're going to have.

1169
01:02:20,303 --> 01:02:23,840
I don't think McDonagh
prepared for someone like Axiom.

1170
01:02:23,906 --> 01:02:28,144
[Vic] Again, so much taken out
and that could be the knockout blow.

1171
01:02:28,211 --> 01:02:30,880
-Excuse me.
-[crowd clapping]

1172
01:02:30,947 --> 01:02:33,816
[Book] That's the killer instinct
I'm talking about.

1173
01:02:36,586 --> 01:02:39,655
[Vic] For McDonagh, pulling himself up.

1174
01:02:40,656 --> 01:02:43,593
I just looked up from the monitors.
Axiom hasn't even moved.

1175
01:02:43,659 --> 01:02:45,428
[Book] McDonagh's going for the kill shot.

1176
01:02:45,495 --> 01:02:47,230
He's going to try
to finish him right here, Vic.

1177
01:02:47,296 --> 01:02:50,266
-He's going to do it.
-McDonagh looking for that moonsault.

1178
01:02:50,333 --> 01:02:54,237
[Vic] Got caught again. Another submission
and this time Axiom throwing some elbows.

1179
01:02:54,303 --> 01:02:57,473
Trying to break down McDonagh.
Trying to play the angles.

1180
01:02:57,540 --> 01:02:59,942
-Trying to put McDonagh to sleep.
-He's in that triangle.

1181
01:03:00,009 --> 01:03:03,012
[Book] He's gonna have to do something.
McDonagh's gonna have to move.

1182
01:03:03,079 --> 01:03:04,280
He's got out of it.

1183
01:03:04,347 --> 01:03:06,516
[Vic] McDonagh able to slip through
like the snake he is.

1184
01:03:06,582 --> 01:03:10,953
Hoists up and looking to plant
with a power bomb. Hurricanrana.

1185
01:03:11,020 --> 01:03:14,624
-[Book] That's it.
-Into the cover, and, oh, man.

1186
01:03:14,690 --> 01:03:17,593
[Book] Wow. Just had the wherewithal,
understanding, and know-how

1187
01:03:17,660 --> 01:03:20,096
to kick out of that right there.
I don't know how though.

1188
01:03:20,163 --> 01:03:22,265
[Vic] McDonagh. Is that enough?

1189
01:03:22,331 --> 01:03:26,502
No. Another near fall.

1190
01:03:26,569 --> 01:03:29,205
[Book] Say what you want to say
about this kid McDonagh. He's tough.

1191
01:03:29,272 --> 01:03:32,475
He's resilient.
He's got a lot left in him still.

1192
01:03:32,542 --> 01:03:35,878
[Vic] McDonagh certainly tries
to intimidate everyone any way he can.

1193
01:03:35,945 --> 01:03:37,413
It did not work tonight.

1194
01:03:37,480 --> 01:03:40,950
[crowd chanting] This is awesome.
This is awesome.

1195
01:03:41,017 --> 01:03:44,554
[Vic] Axiom. Again, so much taken out.
That door is open.

1196
01:03:44,620 --> 01:03:47,924
And now McDonagh looking for--
Gets caught one more time.

1197
01:03:47,990 --> 01:03:50,459
You got to be kidding me,
and he's blocking it.

1198
01:03:50,526 --> 01:03:53,930
McDonagh's blocking it. He's got his hand
in between Axiom's left arm.

1199
01:03:53,996 --> 01:03:55,665
[Book] If he can get those legs locked,

1200
01:03:55,731 --> 01:03:57,600
there could be a lot of pressure
on McDonagh.

1201
01:03:57,667 --> 01:04:00,636
-He's going to have to do something.
-Nice transition.

1202
01:04:00,703 --> 01:04:04,207
[Vic] Looking for the arm bar, but McDonagh
has both hands locked right now.

1203
01:04:04,273 --> 01:04:07,510
Again, able to roll through,
and into his own submission.

1204
01:04:07,577 --> 01:04:08,744
Damn. That was nice.

1205
01:04:08,811 --> 01:04:11,547
[Book] McDonagh's a player, just to keep
the movement going right there

1206
01:04:11,614 --> 01:04:13,783
and find himself in a great position here.

1207
01:04:13,850 --> 01:04:16,953
[Vic] Look at the crank, the torque,
your knee, your leg, your shin, your foot.

1208
01:04:17,019 --> 01:04:19,789
It's not supposed to bend
in that direction, Book.

1209
01:04:19,856 --> 01:04:22,758
-Referee gets in.
-I heard something pop.

1210
01:04:22,825 --> 01:04:24,460
[Book] I heard it.

1211
01:04:24,527 --> 01:04:26,229
[Axiom groaning]

1212
01:04:26,295 --> 01:04:28,531
-[Book] Oh, my God.
-You got to be kidding me.

1213
01:04:28,598 --> 01:04:32,602
-[Vic] You hear Axiom. He's screaming.
-I can hear it pop from here, Vic.

1214
01:04:32,668 --> 01:04:34,537
[Vic] Referee doing his job.

1215
01:04:34,604 --> 01:04:37,540
[Axiom] No! No, don't stop it.

1216
01:04:37,607 --> 01:04:40,776
[groaning]

1217
01:04:40,843 --> 01:04:44,347
-[Book] Referee, do your job.
-Axiom said don't stop it.

1218
01:04:44,413 --> 01:04:46,983
[Book] Do your job. Do your job, ref.

1219
01:04:47,049 --> 01:04:49,752
Have the wherewithal,
the understanding to stop this thing.

1220
01:04:49,819 --> 01:04:51,587
Referee's calling medical.

1221
01:04:51,654 --> 01:04:53,256
[Axiom groaning]

1222
01:04:53,322 --> 01:04:56,993
[crowd chanting] Axiom.
Axiom. Axiom. Axiom.

1223
01:05:00,396 --> 01:05:02,565
[no audible dialog]

1224
01:05:04,834 --> 01:05:06,369
[Axiom] No, no, no.

1225
01:05:06,435 --> 01:05:07,870
[groaning]

1226
01:05:10,239 --> 01:05:12,174
-[referee] Stop it, stop it. That's it.
-[bell rings]

1227
01:05:12,241 --> 01:05:13,943
[Book] That's it. Call it, man.

1228
01:05:14,010 --> 01:05:15,845
[crowd clamoring]

1229
01:05:18,314 --> 01:05:20,917
[announcer] Due to referee stoppage,

1230
01:05:20,983 --> 01:05:25,187
the winner of the match is JD McDonagh.

1231
01:05:25,254 --> 01:05:29,825
[Vic] You can't take anything away
from Axiom in this match up.

1232
01:05:29,892 --> 01:05:32,962
Not the way we wanted to see this end.

1233
01:05:33,029 --> 01:05:37,333
[Book] Turn Axiom
into a contortionist tonight.

1234
01:05:38,434 --> 01:05:40,269
[Vic] We can go back
to some of the action.

1235
01:05:40,336 --> 01:05:43,973
This is really where McDonagh
started to break Axiom down.

1236
01:05:44,040 --> 01:05:47,176
It all started off with a dropkick
into the steel steps, but right here.

1237
01:05:47,243 --> 01:05:50,479
Take a look. Snap, crackle, pop, Book.

1238
01:05:50,546 --> 01:05:53,215
Referee doing his job.
Was in great position.

1239
01:05:53,282 --> 01:05:57,887
The leg, the human body is
not supposed to bend in that direction.

1240
01:05:58,988 --> 01:06:00,323
It's okay.

1241
01:06:00,389 --> 01:06:02,591
You see that right there?
Do you know what that is?

1242
01:06:03,659 --> 01:06:06,862
That's a severe strain, not a tear

1243
01:06:06,929 --> 01:06:09,665
because I'm a nice guy.

1244
01:06:13,536 --> 01:06:17,840
You know when I'm not a nice guy,
when that necessary evil has to come out,

1245
01:06:17,907 --> 01:06:22,211
if someone steps in between me
and the NXT title.

1246
01:06:23,512 --> 01:06:25,915
You don't believe me? Ask Ilja Dragunov.

1247
01:06:25,982 --> 01:06:28,484
He's still in hospital three weeks later.

1248
01:06:30,419 --> 01:06:33,990
This is a message to the rest
of the roster back there.

1249
01:06:34,056 --> 01:06:37,326
Any man back there, I am begging you.

1250
01:06:37,393 --> 01:06:40,196
Please someone get on my level.

1251
01:06:40,262 --> 01:06:42,631
Someone test me.

1252
01:06:46,035 --> 01:06:48,671
I'm looking at you, Apollo.

1253
01:06:50,339 --> 01:06:51,807
[JD McDonagh's music plays]

1254
01:06:51,874 --> 01:06:54,777
[Vic] McDonagh very happy
with himself here tonight.

1255
01:06:54,844 --> 01:06:58,848
Said Axiom would feel
a four-letter word, and he certainly did.

1256
01:06:58,914 --> 01:07:00,649
That being pain.

1257
01:07:04,754 --> 01:07:07,690
[man] Damon Kemp
learned short-term decisions

1258
01:07:09,358 --> 01:07:11,127
have long-term consequences.

1259
01:07:11,193 --> 01:07:12,661
[crowd] Oh.

1260
01:07:12,728 --> 01:07:15,765
[Vic] The door slams shut.

1261
01:07:15,831 --> 01:07:17,900
That wrote the final sentence.

1262
01:07:17,967 --> 01:07:19,368
Julius, you got lucky.

1263
01:07:20,636 --> 01:07:22,238
[Julius] But now it's my turn.

1264
01:07:22,304 --> 01:07:25,274
Damon Kemp, you promised me five minutes.

1265
01:07:25,341 --> 01:07:28,577
Brutus, I still got five minutes of hell
still waiting for you.

1266
01:07:28,644 --> 01:07:31,447
I'm going to finish what you started.

1267
01:07:31,514 --> 01:07:33,115
Come get some.

1268
01:07:34,150 --> 01:07:36,652
[Vic] Creed/Kemp, next.

1269
01:07:39,655 --> 01:07:41,957
[dramatic music]

1270
01:08:03,813 --> 01:08:06,082
[Vic] NXT is all about innovation,

1271
01:08:06,148 --> 01:08:08,017
and you won't want to miss next week

1272
01:08:08,084 --> 01:08:10,052
when WWE hall of famer Shawn Michaels

1273
01:08:10,119 --> 01:08:14,457
lays the groundwork for our final
premium live event of 2022.

1274
01:08:14,523 --> 01:08:17,026
It's NXT deadline.

1275
01:08:20,463 --> 01:08:22,331
-[Creed Brothers' music plays]
-[bell rings]

1276
01:08:22,398 --> 01:08:25,167
[announcer] The following contest
is scheduled for one fall

1277
01:08:25,234 --> 01:08:27,670
with a five-minute time limit.

1278
01:08:27,736 --> 01:08:30,239
Introducing first,
representing Diamond Mine,

1279
01:08:30,306 --> 01:08:32,308
Brutus Creed.

1280
01:08:32,374 --> 01:08:35,344
[Vic] Do you think Kemp's regretting
promising five minutes to Brutus Creed?

1281
01:08:35,411 --> 01:08:38,180
-[Damon Kemp's music plays]
-[Book laughing]

1282
01:08:38,247 --> 01:08:41,283
[Book] Whodini had a song,
"Five Minutes of Funk."

1283
01:08:41,350 --> 01:08:42,785
We going to see it tonight.

1284
01:08:42,852 --> 01:08:44,687
[Vic] This is going to be
five minutes of hell.

1285
01:08:44,753 --> 01:08:46,489
[announcer] His opponent, Damon Kemp.

1286
01:08:46,555 --> 01:08:49,391
-[Book] Here we go.
-Right off the bat.

1287
01:08:49,458 --> 01:08:52,027
[Vic] There goes Brutus wasting no time.

1288
01:08:53,429 --> 01:08:57,099
[Book] It's no secret, Vic.
We got a score to settle here, man.

1289
01:08:57,166 --> 01:09:01,103
It's about getting a piece
of that tie-out here tonight, man.

1290
01:09:01,170 --> 01:09:02,771
-I'm excited.
-[bell rings]

1291
01:09:02,838 --> 01:09:05,574
[Vic] Finally, there's the bell.
Brutus got a little extra,

1292
01:09:05,641 --> 01:09:08,811
and there's the countdown you see
starting from five on its way to zero.

1293
01:09:08,878 --> 01:09:12,081
As Damon Kemp promised,
five minutes to Brutus Creed

1294
01:09:12,148 --> 01:09:16,352
if he took a ride in an ambulance, which
he did at the hands of Brutus' brother.

1295
01:09:16,418 --> 01:09:19,388
That being Julius
at NXT's Halloween Havoc.

1296
01:09:19,455 --> 01:09:22,324
[Book] Those forearms right there
reminds me of big Van Vader.

1297
01:09:22,391 --> 01:09:23,792
Those big shivers.

1298
01:09:23,859 --> 01:09:27,329
Right now, Damon Kemp
is in a bad, bad way,

1299
01:09:27,396 --> 01:09:31,667
but my mama used to say,
"You make your bed you lie in it, son."

1300
01:09:31,734 --> 01:09:34,904
This is consequences and repercussions.

1301
01:09:34,970 --> 01:09:38,007
Brutus has relived the chair shot.

1302
01:09:38,073 --> 01:09:40,776
The near dozen he felt from a month ago.

1303
01:09:41,844 --> 01:09:44,313
You think about everything
Damon has done to Ivy Nile,

1304
01:09:44,380 --> 01:09:46,849
what he's done to Julius,
what he's done to Roderick Strong.

1305
01:09:46,916 --> 01:09:49,251
All of Diamond Mine.

1306
01:09:49,318 --> 01:09:52,688
[Book] Damon Kemp took a beat down
at the hand of--

1307
01:09:52,755 --> 01:09:54,890
[Vic] He's taking an ass whopping
right now, Book.

1308
01:09:54,957 --> 01:09:58,694
[Book] That was just the beginning.
This is the main course,

1309
01:09:58,761 --> 01:10:02,998
and I'm liking Brut-ass.
I'm liking what I'm seeing, man.

1310
01:10:03,966 --> 01:10:06,902
I'm sure it's been hard
for Brutus to be patient.

1311
01:10:06,969 --> 01:10:08,604
Wanting this sort of payback.

1312
01:10:08,671 --> 01:10:10,372
I don't even think
he's looked at the clock.

1313
01:10:10,439 --> 01:10:14,410
He's only got four minutes left to do
whatever he so well pleases to Kemp here.

1314
01:10:14,476 --> 01:10:16,445
[groaning]

1315
01:10:16,512 --> 01:10:19,348
[Vic] Kemp trying his best.
There's no water to swim in, Book.

1316
01:10:19,415 --> 01:10:21,650
[Book laughing]

1317
01:10:21,717 --> 01:10:24,186
[Book] One thing I like
about these Creed Brothers--

1318
01:10:24,253 --> 01:10:25,988
-[Vic] Oh, watch out.
-Oh, man.

1319
01:10:26,055 --> 01:10:28,190
[Book] They can roll with the best,
but when it's time

1320
01:10:28,257 --> 01:10:30,859
to just get into a fight with both hands,

1321
01:10:30,926 --> 01:10:34,463
oh, man, these are the guys
you want on your team.

1322
01:10:34,530 --> 01:10:36,465
[Damon shouting to Brutus]

1323
01:10:36,532 --> 01:10:40,502
[Vic] Brutus finally-- You hear Damon
trying to plead his case,

1324
01:10:41,537 --> 01:10:44,340
but quickly to the lower
extremities of Brutus.

1325
01:10:44,406 --> 01:10:48,110
3:20 left in this five-minute match,
slug fest,

1326
01:10:48,177 --> 01:10:50,946
whatever you call this brawl,
grudge match, whatever you call it.

1327
01:10:51,013 --> 01:10:53,549
[Book] It's called
a fight right there, man. Oh!

1328
01:10:53,616 --> 01:10:55,451
This is about
just letting it all hang out.

1329
01:10:55,517 --> 01:10:57,886
I'm going to tell you right now.
Damon Kemp, he's capable.

1330
01:10:57,953 --> 01:11:00,356
He's not going to just lay down.

1331
01:11:00,422 --> 01:11:01,924
[man] He's got a chair.

1332
01:11:03,092 --> 01:11:05,861
-[Book] He's going with that equalizer.
-But you hear the official--

1333
01:11:05,928 --> 01:11:09,064
[Book] That's called an equalizer.
It's about a fight, Vic.

1334
01:11:09,131 --> 01:11:11,367
It's not about playing by the rules.

1335
01:11:11,433 --> 01:11:13,836
[referee talking]

1336
01:11:16,305 --> 01:11:18,340
[Vic] Of course Brutus remembers it.

1337
01:11:18,407 --> 01:11:22,478
He felt shot after shot
after shot at the hands of Kemp.

1338
01:11:22,544 --> 01:11:25,547
-Now Brutus smash.
-Yes, indeed.

1339
01:11:25,614 --> 01:11:27,316
[Book] Oh, man.

1340
01:11:28,250 --> 01:11:31,220
[Book] Let me tell you, this kid
Brutus, the first time I saw him

1341
01:11:31,286 --> 01:11:33,422
I said, "Man, what a big guy,
but he's athletic,

1342
01:11:33,489 --> 01:11:36,258
he's agile, mobile, and very versatile,

1343
01:11:36,325 --> 01:11:38,627
and about to use this chair."

1344
01:11:38,694 --> 01:11:40,129
[crowd shouting]

1345
01:11:40,195 --> 01:11:41,930
[Vic] Think about it, Brutus.

1346
01:11:41,997 --> 01:11:43,832
-[Book] Do it.
-[crowd shouting]

1347
01:11:44,733 --> 01:11:47,803
[crowd chanting] Do it. Do it.
Do it. Do it.

1348
01:11:47,870 --> 01:11:50,539
-[Book] Yes.
-[bell rings]

1349
01:11:50,606 --> 01:11:52,174
[crowd shouting]

1350
01:11:54,009 --> 01:11:55,944
[groaning]

1351
01:11:57,279 --> 01:11:59,081
[crowd clamoring]

1352
01:11:59,148 --> 01:12:00,783
[no audible diolog]

1353
01:12:00,849 --> 01:12:05,454
[announcer] The winner of the match
as a result of a disqualification

1354
01:12:05,521 --> 01:12:08,123
is Damon Kemp.

1355
01:12:12,327 --> 01:12:17,132
I will always be a better man than you.

1356
01:12:17,199 --> 01:12:18,867
[crowd clamoring]

1357
01:12:21,503 --> 01:12:25,741
[Vic] Brutus certainly making
his point tonight for Diamond Mine.

1358
01:12:25,808 --> 01:12:27,343
-[Book laughing]
-[crowd shouting]

1359
01:12:27,409 --> 01:12:31,113
[Book] Sometimes, Vic,
you just got to do what you got to do.

1360
01:12:31,180 --> 01:12:35,584
If you are 100% versus 99%,

1361
01:12:35,651 --> 01:12:36,885
you do it.

1362
01:12:36,952 --> 01:12:40,422
[crowd chanting] One more time.
One more time.

1363
01:12:40,489 --> 01:12:42,157
-[Book] Damn.
-[crowd shouting]

1364
01:12:45,594 --> 01:12:46,895
[Creed Brothers' music plays]

1365
01:12:46,962 --> 01:12:51,233
[Vic] It might go down as a win
for Damon here tonight,

1366
01:12:51,300 --> 01:12:54,670
but Brutus got exactly what he wanted,

1367
01:12:54,737 --> 01:12:57,806
alongside Ivy Nile and his brother.

1368
01:12:57,873 --> 01:13:01,009
Take a look.
Would you call this a receipt?

1369
01:13:01,076 --> 01:13:04,546
[Book] Oh, yes, I would definitely
call it a receipt.

1370
01:13:05,314 --> 01:13:06,815
Check this out.

1371
01:13:07,616 --> 01:13:08,984
Yes.

1372
01:13:09,051 --> 01:13:11,587
[Vic] Just listen. Feel that impact.

1373
01:13:11,653 --> 01:13:15,157
As I was mentioning, Brutus got
exactly what he wanted here tonight.

1374
01:13:15,224 --> 01:13:18,961
And that was just to beat
the hell out of Damon Kemp

1375
01:13:19,027 --> 01:13:21,563
for what he did to Diamond Mine.

1376
01:13:21,630 --> 01:13:24,466
[Book] Don't forget the 100%--

1377
01:13:24,533 --> 01:13:26,001
Uh-oh.

1378
01:13:26,068 --> 01:13:27,870
[Vic] Sanga, Veer.

1379
01:13:27,936 --> 01:13:30,773
[music continues]

1380
01:13:38,113 --> 01:13:40,983
I've wiped the slate clean
for a fresh start

1381
01:13:41,049 --> 01:13:43,285
and left the past where it should be left.

1382
01:13:44,553 --> 01:13:48,223
Your stand in power
doesn't come from a title or a position.

1383
01:13:48,290 --> 01:13:51,260
It comes from getting
the entire world to cooperate

1384
01:13:51,326 --> 01:13:53,662
and play by your rules.

1385
01:13:54,696 --> 01:13:57,800
The ones who are forthcoming get a pass,

1386
01:13:57,866 --> 01:14:01,770
but those who don't,
will be brought to justice.

1387
01:14:02,438 --> 01:14:05,207
My form of justice.

1388
01:14:13,315 --> 01:14:16,552
[Vic] It has been quite the night
here at NXT,

1389
01:14:16,618 --> 01:14:20,889
and it is main event time
with gold on the line.

1390
01:14:20,956 --> 01:14:24,026
[Nikkita Lyons' music plays]

1391
01:14:28,931 --> 01:14:31,133
[Book] Look at the hands.
Look at the hands, Vic.

1392
01:14:31,200 --> 01:14:33,335
[laughing] Oh, yes.

1393
01:14:33,402 --> 01:14:35,404
[Zoey Stark's music plays]

1394
01:14:35,471 --> 01:14:39,441
[Vic] Is tonight going to be
the night for this duo?

1395
01:14:39,508 --> 01:14:42,578
Book, they thought they had
the titles won two weeks ago.

1396
01:14:42,644 --> 01:14:44,847
[Book] Yes. Just wasn't on the same page.

1397
01:14:44,913 --> 01:14:47,249
Not in the right place at the right time,

1398
01:14:47,316 --> 01:14:50,252
but tonight is a new night, dawg.

1399
01:14:50,319 --> 01:14:52,788
[music continues ]

1400
01:14:52,855 --> 01:14:56,492
[Vic] We've been talking about this highly
anticipated match all evening long.

1401
01:14:56,558 --> 01:15:00,329
Lyons/Stark challenge for the NXT
women's tag team titles

1402
01:15:00,395 --> 01:15:03,031
next live on NXT.

1403
01:15:06,134 --> 01:15:07,870
[crowd cheering]

1404
01:15:08,704 --> 01:15:12,040
Hey. Indi. Hey, are you okay?

1405
01:15:12,107 --> 01:15:13,375
Yes, I'm good.

1406
01:15:13,442 --> 01:15:16,778
You seem a little different lately
and I just want you to know

1407
01:15:16,845 --> 01:15:18,881
that if there's anything
going on, you can tell me.

1408
01:15:18,947 --> 01:15:22,951
What? I turn up the voltage and start
focusing on myself and now I'm different?

1409
01:15:23,018 --> 01:15:26,688
Roxanne, did you not learn anything after
all that happened between you and Cora?

1410
01:15:26,755 --> 01:15:29,591
I know I didn't.
It had nothing to do with me.

1411
01:15:29,658 --> 01:15:31,760
Yes, but you're not Cora.

1412
01:15:31,827 --> 01:15:34,363
Yes, but there's no friends
in this business,

1413
01:15:34,429 --> 01:15:37,299
and our biggest downfall is thinking
that we can become champions

1414
01:15:37,366 --> 01:15:40,569
while having soft spots
and concerns for everyone else.

1415
01:15:40,636 --> 01:15:42,771
It's never going to work that way.

1416
01:15:42,838 --> 01:15:44,940
This conversation proves it.

1417
01:15:49,378 --> 01:15:52,447
[Vic] It's been a huge night here on NXT,
but next week is fully loaded.

1418
01:15:52,514 --> 01:15:55,918
After going face-to-face earlier tonight,
next week they go one-on-one

1419
01:15:55,984 --> 01:15:58,587
for the first time ever for the NXT title.

1420
01:15:58,654 --> 01:16:02,858
Can Bron Breakker answer
the mammoth challenge of Von Wagner, live.

1421
01:16:02,925 --> 01:16:07,796
Two superstars that have an eye on that
championship will finally battle it out.

1422
01:16:07,863 --> 01:16:11,266
McDonagh called out Crews earlier tonight.
You don't got to ask him twice.

1423
01:16:11,333 --> 01:16:13,902
Apollo/JD, live next week.

1424
01:16:13,969 --> 01:16:18,240
Alba Fyre has picked apart
Toxic Attraction one by one.

1425
01:16:18,307 --> 01:16:21,510
Next week if she is
the last woman standing,

1426
01:16:21,577 --> 01:16:24,546
she will end the historic reign
of Mandy Rose.

1427
01:16:24,613 --> 01:16:28,216
The NXT women's title on the line
in a last woman standing match,

1428
01:16:28,283 --> 01:16:31,420
live next week here on NXT.

1429
01:16:32,254 --> 01:16:34,723
[Vic] Two championship matches
next Tuesday.

1430
01:16:34,790 --> 01:16:39,962
-Huge championship main event right now.
-Got a big, big, big night.

1431
01:16:40,028 --> 01:16:42,264
[Book] Right now, man,
it's about to heat up.

1432
01:16:42,331 --> 01:16:43,799
Championship match.

1433
01:16:43,865 --> 01:16:46,668
[Vic] When it comes to the champions,
here's the facts.

1434
01:16:46,735 --> 01:16:50,672
They've backed up every statement
they've made since winning the gold.

1435
01:16:50,739 --> 01:16:53,542
[Book] You got to talk about the champions
as far as being able to make

1436
01:16:53,608 --> 01:16:57,279
those little mistakes
and still be able to come out on top.

1437
01:16:57,346 --> 01:16:58,747
That right there is huge.

1438
01:16:58,814 --> 01:17:01,750
That gives you that cloak
of invincibility.

1439
01:17:01,817 --> 01:17:06,655
That right there is
the tag team champions, current champs.

1440
01:17:06,722 --> 01:17:09,224
[music playing]

1441
01:17:09,291 --> 01:17:11,760
[Vic] NXT universe always split

1442
01:17:13,695 --> 01:17:15,697
when they see these two teams
around each other.

1443
01:17:15,764 --> 01:17:20,035
All four superstars
beloved by the NXT universe.

1444
01:17:20,102 --> 01:17:22,304
[Book] I just saw something there, man.

1445
01:17:22,371 --> 01:17:24,706
[announcer] The following contest
scheduled for one fall

1446
01:17:24,773 --> 01:17:30,145
is for the NXT
Women's Tag Team Championship.

01:17:30,212 --> 01:17:32,981
[crowd cheering]

1448
01:17:33,048 --> 01:17:35,450
Introducing first the challengers,

1449
01:17:35,517 --> 01:17:41,423
the team of Nikkita Lyons and Zoey Stark.

1450
01:17:41,490 --> 01:17:43,859
[crowd cheering]

1451
01:17:44,926 --> 01:17:46,795
And their opponents,

1452
01:17:46,862 --> 01:17:51,600
they are the NXT
women's tag team champions,

1453
01:17:51,666 --> 01:17:56,638
Kayden Carter and Katana Chance.

1454
01:17:56,705 --> 01:18:00,242
[Vic] Book, I want to get to your thought.
You said you noticed something.

1455
01:18:00,308 --> 01:18:02,611
-What was that?
-I talk to my students all the time.

1456
01:18:02,678 --> 01:18:05,280
[Book] I tell them the camera
catches everything.

1457
01:18:05,347 --> 01:18:10,085
I saw a look in Zoey Stark's eyes,
tells me she's very, very serious,

1458
01:18:10,152 --> 01:18:12,988
very focused about winning
this championship tonight.

1459
01:18:13,055 --> 01:18:16,958
I saw something in Nikkita's eyes,
and I must say, Vic,

1460
01:18:17,025 --> 01:18:18,794
-I didn't like what I saw.
-[bell rings]

1461
01:18:18,860 --> 01:18:22,564
[Vic] Stark is going to start things off
with Chance, and you talked about it.

1462
01:18:22,631 --> 01:18:25,600
I want to focus on Zoey Stark because
you mentioned her look in her eyes.

1463
01:18:25,667 --> 01:18:28,103
She's very emotional
over the last two weeks.

1464
01:18:28,170 --> 01:18:30,505
How can she harness
those emotions tonight?

1465
01:18:30,572 --> 01:18:32,974
-As Lyons checks in.
-I could tell you very quickly.

1466
01:18:33,041 --> 01:18:36,311
[Book] She has to win. It's about
going out and getting a victory.

1467
01:18:36,378 --> 01:18:37,779
It's about becoming champion.

1468
01:18:37,846 --> 01:18:42,951
One thing I always say,
the hourglass is ticking quickly.

1469
01:18:43,018 --> 01:18:45,253
[Vic] These two teams
of course met two weeks ago.

1470
01:18:45,320 --> 01:18:47,222
Lot of controversy in that match up. Ooh.

1471
01:18:47,289 --> 01:18:50,425
As Stark and Lyons believe
they were champions for a moment,

1472
01:18:50,492 --> 01:18:52,961
but what lessons
can be learned by the challengers

1473
01:18:53,028 --> 01:18:54,996
of that match up heading into tonight?

1474
01:18:55,063 --> 01:18:59,167
[Book] You got to stay focused. You got
to be laser-focused in a tag team match up,

1475
01:18:59,234 --> 01:19:02,838
as well as that trust factor.
You got to be able to trust your partner

1476
01:19:02,904 --> 01:19:07,309
as far as being in the right place at the
right time just like Chance and Carter.

1477
01:19:07,375 --> 01:19:11,413
[Vic] Speaking of which, almost on cue.
Book, to your point and-- whoa.

1478
01:19:11,480 --> 01:19:14,516
[Book] Oh. Shucky ducky quack quack.

1479
01:19:14,583 --> 01:19:18,220
[Vic] There's that focus of Stark
turning right back around.

1480
01:19:18,286 --> 01:19:21,957
Look at Chance going up,
going around, and taking down Stark.

1481
01:19:22,023 --> 01:19:25,093
[Book] A moment of hesitation
right there by Zoey Stark.

1482
01:19:25,160 --> 01:19:26,762
I didn't like that right there.

1483
01:19:26,828 --> 01:19:30,432
That could be detrimental
as far as winning a tag team championship.

1484
01:19:30,499 --> 01:19:33,268
[Vic] Chance didn't get all of it.
Got enough of it just to rattle Stark.

1485
01:19:33,335 --> 01:19:34,970
Into the cover goes Carter off the tag.

1486
01:19:35,036 --> 01:19:38,173
She's legal, and a kick out
as this championship match would roll on.

1487
01:19:38,240 --> 01:19:42,711
We always have a lot of changes
to the women's division,

1488
01:19:42,777 --> 01:19:44,713
but how about this breaking news
next week.

1489
01:19:44,780 --> 01:19:47,616
North American championship
contract signing.

1490
01:19:47,682 --> 01:19:51,253
Next week just got bigger and bigger.
Wes Lee, Carmelo Hayes.

1491
01:19:51,319 --> 01:19:54,823
[Book] Two guys going out there and
leave it all in the middle of that ring.

1492
01:19:54,890 --> 01:19:57,592
Trust me, they won't be
taxing it in or anything.

1493
01:19:57,659 --> 01:20:01,296
That's going to be a hell
of a championship match up.

1494
01:20:01,363 --> 01:20:04,099
[Vic] Ooh. We talk about
those changes as-- Wait a minute.

1495
01:20:04,166 --> 01:20:06,168
Into the cover, hook of the leg,
another near fall.

1496
01:20:06,234 --> 01:20:07,869
We always talk about changes here in NXT.

1497
01:20:07,936 --> 01:20:10,238
We talk about the tag team division
getting bigger, better,

1498
01:20:10,305 --> 01:20:12,440
and always challengers
coming for the champions.

1499
01:20:12,507 --> 01:20:15,577
A lot of focus on Mandy Rose
and Toxic Attraction

1500
01:20:15,644 --> 01:20:18,180
in the women's division.
Chance and Carter, by the way,

1501
01:20:18,246 --> 01:20:20,448
they're approaching 100 days as champion.

1502
01:20:20,515 --> 01:20:23,318
I want to put that in perspective.
That's the third-longest reign

1503
01:20:23,385 --> 01:20:26,021
in NXT women's tag team champion history.

1504
01:20:26,087 --> 01:20:28,957
[Book] No. I've talked about it,
as far as Chance and Carter,

1505
01:20:29,024 --> 01:20:31,560
you look at this team and you say,
"They're beatable."

1506
01:20:31,626 --> 01:20:35,430
You can go out here perhaps get a win,
but it's something about this team

1507
01:20:35,497 --> 01:20:39,835
being able to put it all together
at the right time, at the right moment.

1508
01:20:39,901 --> 01:20:41,736
We gonna see
if they can pull it off tonight.

1509
01:20:41,803 --> 01:20:43,905
[Vic] If Stark and Lyons
can put it together here tonight,

1510
01:20:43,972 --> 01:20:45,774
they will capture the championships.

1511
01:20:45,840 --> 01:20:48,343
There's some power being shown
by both the challengers.

1512
01:20:48,410 --> 01:20:52,314
Ooh, big slam setting the tone.

1513
01:20:52,380 --> 01:20:56,418
[Book] On the right page right now,
but just got caught slipping for a second.

1514
01:20:56,484 --> 01:20:59,387
-[Vic] Took their eye off the ball. Oh.
-Oh, my goodness.

1515
01:20:59,454 --> 01:21:04,025
[Vic] It's a nasty landing by Stark,
and now Lyons, two-on-one.

1516
01:21:04,092 --> 01:21:07,696
Champions though
in control of this match up.

1517
01:21:07,762 --> 01:21:10,332
Same mind. Moving as one.

1518
01:21:10,398 --> 01:21:15,403
Champions are rolling, as we've mentioned.
Ooh, Carter rocking the legs of Lyons.

1519
01:21:15,470 --> 01:21:18,773
Lyons again overpowering. There's Chance.

1520
01:21:18,840 --> 01:21:22,477
You talk about the quickness, you talk
about the display from both these teams.

1521
01:21:22,544 --> 01:21:26,948
This is what the women's division
is all about in NXT.

1522
01:21:27,015 --> 01:21:29,751
[crowd cheering]

1523
01:21:29,818 --> 01:21:32,454
[Vic] NXT women's tag team titles
on the line.

1524
01:21:32,520 --> 01:21:33,922
You're with the champs.

1525
01:21:36,258 --> 01:21:38,126
[Vic] Back live on NXT.

1526
01:21:38,193 --> 01:21:40,528
The NXT tag team titles on the line

1527
01:21:40,595 --> 01:21:44,332
in what has been a back-and-forth
championship match up,

1528
01:21:44,399 --> 01:21:47,636
and, Book, right now Zoey Stark,
Carter looking for a stretch muffler.

1529
01:21:47,702 --> 01:21:51,106
Chance doing a nice job of countering,
trying to shift her weight.

1530
01:21:51,172 --> 01:21:53,241
As both Lyons and Carter on the outside,

1531
01:21:53,308 --> 01:21:57,045
and now Stark, no doubt about it,
able to lock in for a moment.

1532
01:21:57,112 --> 01:21:59,447
There's Chance, up, over. Shoulders down.

1533
01:21:59,514 --> 01:22:03,518
Not able to retain, but is there any doubt
in the champions' minds

1534
01:22:03,585 --> 01:22:06,454
heading into this match up,
and even at this point in the match?

1535
01:22:06,521 --> 01:22:10,825
-[Book] Perhaps a little bit of doubt--
-Whoa, tag made.

1536
01:22:10,892 --> 01:22:14,162
[Book] A lot more doubt if they would've
lost that match. It's all about winning.

1537
01:22:14,229 --> 01:22:17,265
You can lose on any given night,
but if you're winning,

1538
01:22:17,332 --> 01:22:19,768
you just keep doing what's working, man.

1539
01:22:19,834 --> 01:22:21,736
[Vic] Carter right now
bringing it to Stark.

1540
01:22:21,803 --> 01:22:25,006
Stark's now rolling through, and Zoey
gets caught under the jaw.

1541
01:22:25,073 --> 01:22:26,775
[Book] Yes, and it's working right now.

1542
01:22:26,841 --> 01:22:30,145
[Vic] Look, Stark and Lyons, they've
proved they can push the champions,

1543
01:22:30,211 --> 01:22:33,581
but can they put it all together
here tonight?

1544
01:22:33,648 --> 01:22:35,984
That could be a knockout blow.

1545
01:22:37,185 --> 01:22:40,555
As now the champions
starting to cruise, starting to feel.

1546
01:22:40,622 --> 01:22:42,991
Landing there from the top.

1547
01:22:43,058 --> 01:22:47,095
[Book] Tag team tandem
working as a unit right now.

1548
01:22:47,162 --> 01:22:51,299
I'm going to tell you right now, this is
what make the tag team champions great.

1549
01:22:51,366 --> 01:22:55,937
This is what get them that
what you need to keep those championships.

1550
01:22:56,004 --> 01:22:58,840
-That cloak of invincibility.
-[crowd chanting] NXT. NXT.

1551
01:22:58,907 --> 01:23:03,244
[Vic] What action in this main event
for the NXT women's tag team titles.

1552
01:23:03,311 --> 01:23:06,581
First, it was Carter.
Not to be outdone, there goes Chance.

1553
01:23:06,648 --> 01:23:08,983
Didn't get all of it.
Certainly got enough of it.

1554
01:23:09,050 --> 01:23:10,952
You talk about being a team,

1555
01:23:11,019 --> 01:23:14,255
the champions say they're the only team
in the women's division.

1556
01:23:14,322 --> 01:23:18,259
[Book] I agree with them right now because
they're the ones that's working as a unit,

1557
01:23:18,326 --> 01:23:21,896
and when you're the champs, man,
hey, you got all the gold.

1558
01:23:21,963 --> 01:23:24,199
-You call all the shots.
-Ooh.

1559
01:23:24,265 --> 01:23:26,301
[Vic] It was unorthodox
but it was effective.

1560
01:23:26,368 --> 01:23:28,970
Can it be enough to retain the titles?

1561
01:23:29,037 --> 01:23:32,374
Zoey Stark just getting
that right shoulder up,

1562
01:23:32,440 --> 01:23:36,344
and now you get a sense from
the champions, "What do we got to do?"

1563
01:23:36,411 --> 01:23:40,348
[Book] As of right now,
Nikkita and Zoey, they're falling apart.

1564
01:23:41,416 --> 01:23:44,786
[Vic] A championship match tonight,
huge championship matches next week.

1565
01:23:44,853 --> 01:23:48,490
Breakker/Wagner for the NXT title,
and the last woman standing match

1566
01:23:48,556 --> 01:23:52,093
for the NXT women's championship
between Rose and Fyre.

1567
01:23:52,160 --> 01:23:54,562
In this moment, on this night, right now

1568
01:23:54,629 --> 01:23:56,598
the NXT women's tag team titles
are on the line.

1569
01:23:56,664 --> 01:24:00,668
The challengers, are they closing in,
Book, on finally winning the gold?

1570
01:24:00,735 --> 01:24:03,705
[Book] No. Zoey just opened
a window right now.

1571
01:24:03,772 --> 01:24:07,876
Right now, Nikkita Lyons
just has to finish this thing off.

1572
01:24:07,942 --> 01:24:10,912
We got an opportunity right here,
you got to cash in.

1573
01:24:10,979 --> 01:24:13,081
[Vic] You talked about Lyons
and her striking ability.

1574
01:24:13,148 --> 01:24:17,318
She could look for one or two right here.
Oh, instead rolling through.

1575
01:24:17,385 --> 01:24:19,854
Look at the strength.

1576
01:24:19,921 --> 01:24:21,556
[Book] Oh, baby.

1577
01:24:21,623 --> 01:24:23,858
[crowd shouting]

1578
01:24:23,925 --> 01:24:28,263
[Vic] The rage boiling out
as Lyons plants Chance.

1579
01:24:28,329 --> 01:24:32,000
Quickly makes the tag,
and this could be that moment, Book.

1580
01:24:32,067 --> 01:24:34,669
-This could be that moment.
-I tell you, we're so close.

1581
01:24:34,736 --> 01:24:36,738
-[Vic] Half and half.
-That could be it right there.

1582
01:24:36,805 --> 01:24:39,107
[Book] You got to get a cover.
Wait a minute.

1583
01:24:39,174 --> 01:24:42,377
[Vic] Chance turned inside out. Stark now.

1584
01:24:42,444 --> 01:24:46,147
Looking, boom, for some extra punishment.

1585
01:24:46,214 --> 01:24:47,782
Is this going to be enough?

1586
01:24:48,650 --> 01:24:53,488
Into the cover, and no,
Lyons stopped Carter,

1587
01:24:53,555 --> 01:24:58,460
but somehow Chance's inside shoulder
just got up.

1588
01:24:58,526 --> 01:25:03,398
[Book] I thought Nikkita made
the major play, but the beat goes on.

1589
01:25:04,566 --> 01:25:07,735
[Vic] Nikkita might be wiped out,
and I don't think Zoey realizes

1590
01:25:07,802 --> 01:25:10,371
what just happened to her partner
as she's to the top.

1591
01:25:10,438 --> 01:25:12,807
Zoey's going for it.
She's going to try take it.

1592
01:25:12,874 --> 01:25:15,543
[Vic] Able to roll through, nice counter.
Nice presence of mind by Stark.

1593
01:25:15,610 --> 01:25:18,713
Charging in comes Chance.
Chance able to land on her feet.

1594
01:25:18,780 --> 01:25:22,283
Comes right back around. Looking for
the DDT, get's countered, get's hoisted--

1595
01:25:22,350 --> 01:25:25,153
-Oh, and another counter.
-Too much strength right there.

1596
01:25:25,220 --> 01:25:29,023
[Vic] Tit for tat. Into the cover
to retain, hooks both legs.

1597
01:25:29,090 --> 01:25:32,727
And where did Lyons get the energy from
to get back into this match?

1598
01:25:32,794 --> 01:25:35,964
[Book] Right now it's going to come down
to the wire

1599
01:25:36,030 --> 01:25:39,634
as far as which team is going to walk away
tag team champions.

1600
01:25:39,701 --> 01:25:42,203
Nikkita Lyons, she wants it.

1601
01:25:42,270 --> 01:25:45,273
Zoey Stark, she wants
the tag team champion.

1602
01:25:45,340 --> 01:25:47,242
They're not willing to give it up.

1603
01:25:47,308 --> 01:25:49,410
[Vic] All four women are down.

1604
01:25:49,477 --> 01:25:54,249
NXT universe showing
their appreciation for these superstars.

1605
01:25:54,315 --> 01:25:56,985
-[crowd chanting] NXT. NXT.
-[Book] The people are going crazy.

1606
01:25:57,051 --> 01:25:59,854
[chanting continues]

1607
01:26:03,324 --> 01:26:06,728
[Vic] It's all about the NXT women's
tag team titles in a division

1608
01:26:06,794 --> 01:26:10,165
that has been on lock for 100 days
by Chance and Carter.

1609
01:26:10,231 --> 01:26:12,934
Can Stark and Lyons
finally rise to the occasion?

1610
01:26:13,001 --> 01:26:15,403
Thought that they had the titles
two weeks ago.

1611
01:26:15,470 --> 01:26:17,438
Almost a big miscommunication.

1612
01:26:17,505 --> 01:26:20,408
[Book] No, never. We're on the same page.
We can't be talking about it.

1613
01:26:20,475 --> 01:26:22,443
-[Vic] Ooh.
-They're still grinding.

1614
01:26:22,510 --> 01:26:25,179
-[Book] Come on, guys.
-Lyons just saved the match for her team.

1615
01:26:25,246 --> 01:26:28,449
Just threw Stark out of the way.
Now Zoey Stark answering back.

1616
01:26:28,516 --> 01:26:31,486
Chopped down Carter,
now trying to chop down Chance.

1617
01:26:31,553 --> 01:26:34,656
Chance going for the ride,
able to land on her feet.

1618
01:26:34,722 --> 01:26:38,560
Coming right back in, we saw this earlier,
this time the DDT connects.

1619
01:26:38,626 --> 01:26:40,828
-[Book] What a tag team.
-Tag.

1620
01:26:40,895 --> 01:26:43,932
[Book] Chance and Carter.
Never say die mentality.

1621
01:26:43,998 --> 01:26:46,267
-Always figuring it out.
-Get your cameras ready.

1622
01:26:46,334 --> 01:26:48,336
-[Book] Here we go.
-[crowd] Oh!

1623
01:26:48,403 --> 01:26:50,238
[Vic] Is it enough to retain?

1624
01:26:50,305 --> 01:26:53,741
Cover, count, and still with the gold.

1625
01:26:53,808 --> 01:26:55,944
-[bell rings]
-[Vic] Carter and Chance.

1626
01:26:56,010 --> 01:26:57,178
[Book] Wow.

1627
01:26:57,245 --> 01:27:00,048
[announcer] Here are your winners,
and still

1628
01:27:00,114 --> 01:27:03,351
the NXT women's tag team champions,

1629
01:27:03,418 --> 01:27:07,121
Kayden Carter and Katana Chance.

1630
01:27:07,188 --> 01:27:10,124
[Vic] You talk about setting the bar,
you talk about raising the bar,

1631
01:27:10,191 --> 01:27:15,630
that's what the NXT women's division
does each and every opportunity.

1632
01:27:15,697 --> 01:27:18,032
In the case no different, Book,
than here tonight.

1633
01:27:18,099 --> 01:27:21,936
The NXT universe
is on their feet for this main event,

1634
01:27:22,003 --> 01:27:23,771
and what a main event it was.

1635
01:27:23,838 --> 01:27:27,175
[Book] Carter and Chance
always seem to rise to the occasion.

1636
01:27:27,242 --> 01:27:29,310
Always seem to figure it out.

1637
01:27:29,377 --> 01:27:31,913
[Vic] Oh, it was almost a miscommunication
between these two.

1638
01:27:31,980 --> 01:27:33,681
But watch Lyons here.

1639
01:27:33,748 --> 01:27:37,719
Put the team before her,
able to get her partner out of the way.

1640
01:27:37,785 --> 01:27:41,155
Ate two super kicks, and that would open
the door for Zoey Stark

1641
01:27:41,222 --> 01:27:42,824
who put up a hell of a fight.

1642
01:27:42,890 --> 01:27:45,960
In the end, Chance was able
to turn her inside out with a DDT,

1643
01:27:46,027 --> 01:27:49,697
and then was able to put the finishing
touches, boom, on this match up

1644
01:27:49,764 --> 01:27:52,667
with some beautiful tag team continuity.

1645
01:27:52,734 --> 01:27:57,972
And the reign continues
for Chance and Carter here in NXT.

1646
01:27:58,573 --> 01:28:02,577
You see the delight of the NXT universe

1647
01:28:02,644 --> 01:28:06,381
for the NXT women's tag team champions.

1648
01:28:06,447 --> 01:28:08,583
[triumphant music]

1649
01:28:11,719 --> 01:28:16,024
[Vic] What a sign of respect
between these two teams.

1650
01:28:16,090 --> 01:28:17,792
Yes, you hit the nail on the head,

1651
01:28:17,859 --> 01:28:20,728
sportsmanship being shown by all four.

1652
01:28:20,795 --> 01:28:22,030
[Book] What the--

1653
01:28:22,096 --> 01:28:24,465
[crowd clamoring]

1654
01:28:24,532 --> 01:28:26,668
What are you doing, Zoey?

1655
01:28:26,734 --> 01:28:28,503
[crowd booing]

1656
01:28:28,569 --> 01:28:31,539
[indistinct shouting]

1657
01:28:31,606 --> 01:28:32,940
[crowd booing]

1658
01:28:33,007 --> 01:28:35,309
-[referee] What are you doing?
-[Book] Ow.

1659
01:28:35,376 --> 01:28:37,145
[crowd clamoring]

1660
01:28:37,211 --> 01:28:41,149
[crowd chanting] Zoey is angry.
Zoey is angry.

1661
01:28:43,084 --> 01:28:45,119
[chanting continues]

1662
01:28:52,293 --> 01:28:56,130
That's right, I am angry because of you.

1663
01:28:56,197 --> 01:28:57,865
-You.
-[chanting continues]
