[WWE intro music]

2
00:00:04,304 --> 00:00:05,872
Then.

3
00:00:10,810 --> 00:00:11,778
Now.

4
00:00:17,183 --> 00:00:18,084
Forever.

5
00:00:23,023 --> 00:00:24,524
Together.

6
00:00:34,401 --> 00:00:38,538
[Vic] We are wasting no time tonight
on this stacked edition of NXT.

7
00:00:38,605 --> 00:00:42,442
There you see Bron Breakker
our champion has never faced anyone

8
00:00:42,509 --> 00:00:45,011
like his challenger here tonight.

9
00:00:45,078 --> 00:00:48,748
As he'll be going up against
the powerhouse that is Von Wagner

10
00:00:48,815 --> 00:00:51,117
there with Robert Stone by his side.

11
00:00:51,518 --> 00:00:55,422
Are we about to witness
a new NXT champion?

12
00:00:55,488 --> 00:00:59,125
What a way to kick
things off tonight on NXT.

13
00:01:00,693 --> 00:01:07,033
[Von Wagner's music plays]

14
00:01:12,205 --> 00:01:16,342
[Vic] Vic Joseph alongside
the two-time WWE hall of famer Booker T.

15
00:01:16,409 --> 00:01:19,946
Book, this dates all the way back
to September 14th, 2021.

16
00:01:20,447 --> 00:01:22,082
I want you to think about this.

17
00:01:22,148 --> 00:01:25,218
Both these men made their debuts here.

18
00:01:25,285 --> 00:01:29,556
These two have been on a collision
course since the rebranding of NXT.

19
00:01:29,622 --> 00:01:32,625
On that night, it was Bron Breakker, Book,

20
00:01:32,692 --> 00:01:35,195
who was in the first match,
and it was Von Wagner

21
00:01:35,261 --> 00:01:38,598
who was in the main event
for the NXT championship.

22
00:01:38,665 --> 00:01:42,635
Now, quite the different paths
to get to where we are here tonight

23
00:01:42,702 --> 00:01:43,736
in this collision course.

24
00:01:43,803 --> 00:01:46,639
[Book] You know why I say
a guy like Von Wagner,

25
00:01:46,706 --> 00:01:50,043
you look at him and in that box,
he checks off every box.

26
00:01:50,577 --> 00:01:53,313
From a promoter standpoint,
you look at him and you say,

27
00:01:53,379 --> 00:01:56,783
"this guy is a champion.
I need him on my team."

28
00:01:56,850 --> 00:02:00,553
That's Von Wagner,
but the script was ripped.

29
00:02:01,187 --> 00:02:04,858
[Vic] As you would say passing
the airport test, so to speak,

30
00:02:04,924 --> 00:02:10,063
but it's funny you bring up teams
because it was Von Wagner

31
00:02:10,130 --> 00:02:14,601
who was left off of war games if you
remember back in 2021

32
00:02:14,667 --> 00:02:17,737
by our NXT champion,

33
00:02:17,804 --> 00:02:21,307
which as we mentioned brings us
to this match up here tonight.

34
00:02:21,374 --> 00:02:24,277
There is a lot of animosity
between these two

35
00:02:24,344 --> 00:02:25,512
and it has grown in the locker room.

36
00:02:25,578 --> 00:02:26,913
[Book] It's been a long time,

37
00:02:26,980 --> 00:02:31,217
Vic, and it's all about
eliminating the competition.

38
00:02:31,284 --> 00:02:34,487
These guys knew one day
they were going to be right here,

39
00:02:34,554 --> 00:02:36,289
right in front of each other
and here tonight.

40
00:02:36,356 --> 00:02:39,926
Oh, my god. Let's get it on.

41
00:02:39,993 --> 00:02:41,761
[Vic] The eyes of Wagner
focused on Breakker

42
00:02:41,828 --> 00:02:46,499
who's defeated LA Knight, Cameron Grimes,
Joe Gacy, Tommaso Ciampa, Dolph Ziggler.

43
00:02:46,566 --> 00:02:51,971
The list continues to go and go and go,
as Breakker has been champion,

44
00:02:52,038 --> 00:02:56,109
has been fueling this brand
this entire year.

45
00:02:56,176 --> 00:02:58,678
Can he stand up to the test one more time?

46
00:02:58,745 --> 00:02:59,979
[Book] He's ready.

47
00:03:00,046 --> 00:03:04,717
He's got that championship look,
that championship mentality.

48
00:03:04,784 --> 00:03:07,820
Oh, it's going to be a fight tonight.

49
00:03:10,123 --> 00:03:11,157
[Bell rings]

50
00:03:11,224 --> 00:03:13,927
[announcer] The following contest
scheduled for one fall

51
00:03:13,993 --> 00:03:18,731
is for the NXT championship.

52
00:03:21,901 --> 00:03:24,003
Introducing first the challenger,

53
00:03:24,504 --> 00:03:30,109
accompanied by Mr. Stone, Von Wagner.

54
00:03:30,176 --> 00:03:34,347
[Crowd boos]

55
00:03:34,414 --> 00:03:40,553
His opponent, he is the NXT champion,

56
00:03:41,487 --> 00:03:45,291
Bron Breakker.

57
00:03:49,295 --> 00:03:52,131
[Vic] We're getting set for this match up,
and according to some whispers,

58
00:03:52,198 --> 00:03:56,603
Book, the champion is the underdog
heading into tonight's match.

59
00:03:56,669 --> 00:03:58,271
[Book laughs]

60
00:03:58,338 --> 00:04:02,108
[Book] I don't know who's saying that.
I'm not one of those guys whispering that.

61
00:04:02,175 --> 00:04:04,143
There's a guy by the name
of Ric Flair who say,

62
00:04:04,210 --> 00:04:06,946
"to be the man you got to beat the man."

63
00:04:07,013 --> 00:04:10,717
Having that championship
cloak of invincibility,

64
00:04:10,783 --> 00:04:13,553
Bron Breakker's had that since day one.

65
00:04:13,620 --> 00:04:15,888
[Vic] There's-- wait a minute.

66
00:04:17,490 --> 00:04:19,425
Mr. Stone with a distraction.

67
00:04:19,492 --> 00:04:21,628
[Book] That's a plan right there.
I like that.

68
00:04:21,694 --> 00:04:24,397
[Vic] Wagner running right over Breakker,
and all of a sudden

69
00:04:24,464 --> 00:04:27,166
it is Von Wagner imposing his will.

70
00:04:27,233 --> 00:04:30,103
Look, it's a fair statement
to make here, Book.

71
00:04:30,169 --> 00:04:33,272
How will Bron adapt to not having
the distinct power advantage

72
00:04:33,339 --> 00:04:34,774
that he typically does?

73
00:04:34,841 --> 00:04:40,013
[Book] Adapt to the situation
whatever the situation may be, Vic.

74
00:04:40,079 --> 00:04:43,149
I'm going to tell you right now,
that's what Bron Breakker is all about.

75
00:04:43,216 --> 00:04:45,585
He knows about adversity.

76
00:04:45,652 --> 00:04:49,389
He's gone through it from day one
since he was a little bitty boy.

77
00:04:49,455 --> 00:04:50,623
[Vic] Take one more look.

78
00:04:50,690 --> 00:04:53,259
Almost sacrificing Stone to open a window.

79
00:04:53,326 --> 00:04:57,230
Bam, and then knocking
Breakker down was Wagner.

80
00:04:57,296 --> 00:05:00,300
Wagner has come out of the gates,
Book, to your point, with a plan.

81
00:05:00,366 --> 00:05:02,769
[Book] A window was open right there.

82
00:05:02,835 --> 00:05:06,139
Von Wagner had Bron Breakker on his back.

83
00:05:06,205 --> 00:05:10,109
He saw it happen there because right now
Breakker's on the move.

84
00:05:10,176 --> 00:05:14,347
[Vic] Now, Breakker charging
right back in, and how about that power?

85
00:05:14,414 --> 00:05:19,719
Just tossing the 6'6",
270-pound Wagner like nothing.

86
00:05:21,220 --> 00:05:23,523
Breakker. Frankensteiner connects.

87
00:05:23,589 --> 00:05:25,725
[Book] That right there,
that's vintage right there.

88
00:05:25,792 --> 00:05:27,193
That's vintage Scott Steiner.

89
00:05:27,260 --> 00:05:31,898
The uncle is right now whispering
in Bron Breakker 's ear,

90
00:05:31,964 --> 00:05:33,433
take this man down.

91
00:05:33,499 --> 00:05:35,134
[Vic] We talk about power,
how about athleticism?

92
00:05:35,201 --> 00:05:36,969
Bron Breakker has it all.

93
00:05:37,036 --> 00:05:38,604
[Book] Beautiful.

94
00:05:38,671 --> 00:05:40,973
[Vic] Breakker has certainly
been in deep waters before.

95
00:05:41,040 --> 00:05:44,944
He's been in big match situations,
and it is calming to see Breakker.

96
00:05:45,011 --> 00:05:46,813
He's been in these moments in the past.

97
00:05:46,879 --> 00:05:48,514
He took a deep breath,
he weathered the storm.

98
00:05:48,581 --> 00:05:51,784
[Book] I like that right there.
Bron Breakker's trying to slow it down.

99
00:05:51,851 --> 00:05:53,753
Not getting too overzealous.

100
00:05:53,820 --> 00:05:58,658
Not trying to use too much energy
with this big man Von Wagner.

101
00:06:00,793 --> 00:06:02,128
[Vic] Breakker giving Von Wagner,

102
00:06:02,195 --> 00:06:05,865
trying to create little bit of separation
and certainly does.

103
00:06:05,932 --> 00:06:10,370
Wagner certainly has been
the aggressor in this match up. Now--

104
00:06:10,436 --> 00:06:13,573
[Book] I talk about that all the time,
Vic, as far as being in the ring,

105
00:06:13,639 --> 00:06:16,376
that little bit of separation
in my school all the time.

106
00:06:16,442 --> 00:06:21,147
Von Wagner, obviously, this guy has been
working on the game plan.

107
00:06:21,214 --> 00:06:22,682
Trying to get a victory tonight.

108
00:06:22,749 --> 00:06:25,151
[Vic] This is one of two
championship match ups.

109
00:06:25,218 --> 00:06:27,453
Of course, the last woman
standing match up coming up

110
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:30,423
between Rose and Fyre
for the NXT women's title.

111
00:06:30,490 --> 00:06:32,959
McDonagh, Crews still to come as well.

112
00:06:33,025 --> 00:06:34,694
I'll bring it back to [Indistinct]

113
00:06:34,761 --> 00:06:38,965
But, how much pressure did you feel
as champion each and every night?

114
00:06:39,031 --> 00:06:40,266
[Book] Oh, man.
I'm going to tell you right now.

115
00:06:40,333 --> 00:06:42,502
I remember the Tiger Conway

116
00:06:42,568 --> 00:06:45,338
telling me you got to be a champion
in the ring as well as out.

117
00:06:45,405 --> 00:06:46,606
I remember [Indistinct]

118
00:06:46,672 --> 00:06:48,908
Telling me there's going to be obstacles.

119
00:06:48,975 --> 00:06:51,577
I remember dusty saying
they want to put you on first no more.

120
00:06:51,644 --> 00:06:54,947
It's about the legends, man.
It's about the gods of wrestling.

121
00:06:55,014 --> 00:06:57,083
[Vic] Into the cover,
Wagner to become champion.

122
00:06:57,150 --> 00:06:59,252
[Book] Perhaps being one day.

123
00:06:59,318 --> 00:07:01,954
That's what this kid
Bron Breakker's all about.

124
00:07:02,021 --> 00:07:04,457
[Vic] There you see Rob Stone
shouting to Wagner.

125
00:07:04,824 --> 00:07:08,628
Knows this could be his meal ticket
as well as Wagner now again.

126
00:07:08,694 --> 00:07:10,630
[Book] That shoulder right there.
Staying on that shoulder.

127
00:07:10,696 --> 00:07:14,801
That could be a rotator cuff right now.
Just trying to break Bron Breakker down.

128
00:07:14,867 --> 00:07:17,303
[Vic] Breakker though turning things
around.

129
00:07:18,704 --> 00:07:22,008
That shoulder looks pretty
damn good to me right now, Book.

130
00:07:23,443 --> 00:07:26,379
[Book] Beautiful standing
suplex right there by the kid.

131
00:07:26,445 --> 00:07:27,814
[Vic] There's Breakker.

132
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:31,184
Again, only three superstars
have held the NXT title.

133
00:07:31,250 --> 00:07:34,320
They have spent more days
as champion on this brand than Breakker.

134
00:07:34,387 --> 00:07:37,757
Breakker picking up speed
and there's that four three forty.

135
00:07:37,824 --> 00:07:40,026
[Book] I don't know if you saw it
there a minute ago, Vic,

136
00:07:40,092 --> 00:07:42,695
but the look in this young kid's eye.

137
00:07:44,664 --> 00:07:48,167
[Book] NXT title on the line.

138
00:07:48,935 --> 00:07:50,837
[Crowd chants "Let's go Breakker"]

139
00:07:50,903 --> 00:07:54,240
[Vic] NXT universe fired up and have been
throughout the commercial break.

140
00:07:54,307 --> 00:07:57,610
We've also heard from Mr. Stone
who was yelling at Bron Breakker,

141
00:07:57,677 --> 00:08:00,813
"you never been in the ring
with someone like Von Wagner."

142
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,516
Let's go back to some
of the action in this match up.

143
00:08:03,583 --> 00:08:07,653
Before the break, Bron Breakker showcasing
the speed and the power

144
00:08:07,720 --> 00:08:08,955
that has made him a champion,

145
00:08:09,021 --> 00:08:11,657
but Von Wagner also has been
able to showcase

146
00:08:11,724 --> 00:08:14,360
a little bit of innovative offense.

147
00:08:14,427 --> 00:08:17,763
A back-and-forth match up
between these two superstars.

148
00:08:17,830 --> 00:08:20,633
[Book] Look, I don't know
a whole lot about this Mr. Stone,

149
00:08:20,700 --> 00:08:25,738
but I do know to become a champion
like Von Wagner hopes to become one day,

150
00:08:25,805 --> 00:08:28,641
you got to have good people around you.

151
00:08:28,708 --> 00:08:33,412
I don't know a whole lot about Mr. Stone,
but he's no William Morris [Indistinct]

152
00:08:33,479 --> 00:08:34,614
Or anything like that.

153
00:08:34,680 --> 00:08:39,619
You look like a Mariachi band playing
with that-- the heck is that suity guy?

154
00:08:39,685 --> 00:08:41,854
[Vic] Yes. Somehow the [Indistinct]
Christmas collection.

155
00:08:43,823 --> 00:08:46,759
Wagner looking to add some
gold to his collection.

156
00:08:46,826 --> 00:08:49,095
[Book] That's what I'm talking
about right there.

157
00:08:49,161 --> 00:08:52,565
[Vic] There's-- whoa, wait a minute here.
Wagner's got to be careful.

158
00:08:52,632 --> 00:08:54,700
[Book] Moving the furniture around.

159
00:08:54,767 --> 00:08:56,335
[Vic] That's what Stone's telling him.

160
00:08:56,402 --> 00:08:58,771
[Book] Stone who right now
telling the big guy,

161
00:08:58,838 --> 00:09:00,273
let's move some furniture around.

162
00:09:00,339 --> 00:09:04,310
Let's rearrange the carpet a little bit.

163
00:09:05,545 --> 00:09:07,313
[Vic] The referee is actually yelling.

164
00:09:07,380 --> 00:09:10,416
He doesn't want to get
disqualified is Wagner.

165
00:09:10,483 --> 00:09:15,621
It's up to the referee's discretion.
As he continues to punish Breakker.

166
00:09:15,688 --> 00:09:17,390
[Book] Championship match right here.

167
00:09:17,456 --> 00:09:19,125
Referee's going to have the discretion.

168
00:09:19,191 --> 00:09:21,260
[Book] He's going to have
the discretion right now

169
00:09:21,327 --> 00:09:24,063
because this is a big night
for both of these young men.

170
00:09:24,130 --> 00:09:27,266
[Vic] Look at Breakker
just bounce off the steel.

171
00:09:27,333 --> 00:09:29,201
Spine first.

172
00:09:29,268 --> 00:09:31,671
Wagner now quickly back into the ring.

173
00:09:31,737 --> 00:09:35,074
To win the NXT title,
and Breakker kicks out at two.

174
00:09:35,141 --> 00:09:36,175
[Book] Not enough right there.

175
00:09:36,242 --> 00:09:39,078
This young man,
Bron Breakker's not going to quit.

176
00:09:39,512 --> 00:09:41,080
This is about, like I say,
the championship,

177
00:09:41,147 --> 00:09:43,249
it gives you that extra edge.

178
00:09:43,316 --> 00:09:44,717
You know what's on the line.

179
00:09:44,784 --> 00:09:47,853
When you're gone outside,
you go in the bars, you go in the clubs.

180
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:50,189
People say, "hey, champ.
How you doing tonight?"

181
00:09:50,256 --> 00:09:52,291
That feels good, man.

182
00:09:52,358 --> 00:09:54,260
[Vic] Von Wagner knew exactly
what he was doing

183
00:09:54,327 --> 00:09:56,495
two weeks ago when he dropped
the champion.

184
00:09:56,562 --> 00:09:59,298
Now a double under hooked
suplex connects perfectly,

185
00:09:59,365 --> 00:10:02,301
and Wagner now putting
the foot on the gas.

186
00:10:02,368 --> 00:10:05,871
Applying the pressure
and is overpowering Breakker.

187
00:10:05,938 --> 00:10:07,974
[Book] Yes, indeed. The big man.

188
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:10,509
You talk about wanting
a piece of the action,

189
00:10:10,576 --> 00:10:14,380
wanted a little bit of the champagne
wishes and caviar dreams.

190
00:10:14,447 --> 00:10:17,917
That's what this big man
Von Wagner's all about tonight.

191
00:10:17,984 --> 00:10:19,385
Give me a piece, man.

192
00:10:19,452 --> 00:10:21,821
[Vic] Wagner breaking down
Bron into another cover.

193
00:10:21,887 --> 00:10:25,091
Another count and another near fall.

194
00:10:25,157 --> 00:10:29,428
Book, we're getting so close
to a new NXT champion,

195
00:10:29,495 --> 00:10:33,199
as I looked over and Stone is almost
out of breath in front of us.

196
00:10:33,265 --> 00:10:35,001
[Book] Let me tell you something.

197
00:10:35,067 --> 00:10:37,503
There's no secret that
this big man, Von Wagner,

198
00:10:37,570 --> 00:10:40,406
he's not going to slip
on a banana peel to become great.

199
00:10:40,473 --> 00:10:43,943
It's not going to happen
by osmosis or anything like that.

200
00:10:44,010 --> 00:10:46,712
It's going to happen right here
in the middle of this ring,

201
00:10:46,779 --> 00:10:49,081
and maybe it's going to happen tonight.

202
00:10:49,148 --> 00:10:52,818
[Vic] Mr. Stone declared Breakker's life
will change forever tonight.

203
00:10:52,885 --> 00:10:57,023
Now, Von Wagner's doing exactly
what he said he would do.

204
00:10:57,089 --> 00:11:00,026
He is rag-dolling the NXT champion.

205
00:11:00,092 --> 00:11:02,294
He is beating down Bron Breakker.

206
00:11:02,361 --> 00:11:04,430
[Book] Somewhat of a cobra clutch,

207
00:11:04,497 --> 00:11:08,234
shimmying the murky,
some kind of move right there.

208
00:11:08,300 --> 00:11:11,237
Almost put that kid out.
I don't know why he released it.

209
00:11:11,303 --> 00:11:14,740
[Vic] Referee's checking on Breakker.
There's no quit in our champion.

210
00:11:15,708 --> 00:11:17,376
Are those whispers
I talked about earlier, Book.

211
00:11:17,443 --> 00:11:20,746
Are they getting a little bit louder
about the champion being the underdog?

212
00:11:20,813 --> 00:11:23,049
[Book] Maybe getting
a little bit louder in your mind,

213
00:11:23,115 --> 00:11:28,187
but like I say, this kid, Bron Breakker,
he's been hearing those whispers.

214
00:11:28,254 --> 00:11:31,791
This kid, Von Wagner, he's trying
to pull this thing off tonight.

215
00:11:31,857 --> 00:11:33,159
He's trying to get a big win.

216
00:11:33,225 --> 00:11:35,795
Let me tell you something,
he's so, so close.

217
00:11:36,262 --> 00:11:39,298
[Vic] 6'6", 270 pounds.

218
00:11:39,365 --> 00:11:43,002
A superstar of that size
doesn't leave his feet often.

219
00:11:43,069 --> 00:11:45,204
Von was looking
for that exclamation point.

220
00:11:45,271 --> 00:11:46,739
Breakker able to fight free.

221
00:11:46,806 --> 00:11:48,040
[Book] It's called a coup d'etat.

222
00:11:48,107 --> 00:11:50,843
He was going to go for it right there.

223
00:11:51,343 --> 00:11:52,912
Right now, both guys are down.

224
00:11:58,017 --> 00:11:59,385
[Vic] Stone beside himself.

225
00:11:59,452 --> 00:12:04,256
Look at Breakker just launch himself
and wipe out the challenger.

226
00:12:04,323 --> 00:12:07,860
As the NXT universe now
rallying behind the NXT champion.

227
00:12:07,927 --> 00:12:08,794
[Book] Here we go right here.

228
00:12:08,861 --> 00:12:10,930
I was waiting for it
to break out like this.

229
00:12:10,996 --> 00:12:15,301
This is a fight right here.
It's all broken down. Here we go.

230
00:12:18,337 --> 00:12:20,873
[Vic] Breakker continuing to apply
the offensive pressure.

231
00:12:20,940 --> 00:12:23,175
Caught and then planted Wagner.

232
00:12:23,242 --> 00:12:26,445
That's 270 pounds Breakker
just caught in midair.

233
00:12:26,846 --> 00:12:28,981
[Book] A beautiful combination
right there.

234
00:12:29,048 --> 00:12:33,319
This kid has been looking
to be in this moment for a long time.

235
00:12:33,385 --> 00:12:35,287
He's not going to give it up easy.

236
00:12:37,089 --> 00:12:41,293
Look at him. Look at the confidence.
Look at the confidence in Breakker.

237
00:12:42,128 --> 00:12:45,364
[Vic] Breakker entering that zone.
Target is acquired.

238
00:12:45,431 --> 00:12:48,868
Locking eyes on to the challenger,
on to Wagner who just caught Breakker.

239
00:12:50,002 --> 00:12:51,637
[Book] Good god.

240
00:12:51,704 --> 00:12:53,405
-[Vic] Wagner planting Breakker.
-[Book] That's it. That's it.

241
00:12:53,472 --> 00:12:54,707
-[Vic] Is it enough?
-[Book] Yes, that's it.

242
00:12:54,774 --> 00:12:57,776
-[Vic] Cover.
-[Book] Wow.

243
00:13:01,847 --> 00:13:03,349
-[Vic] Stone beside himself.
-[Book] That's a mistake.

244
00:13:03,415 --> 00:13:06,285
That's a mistake right here.
That's a mistake.

245
00:13:06,352 --> 00:13:12,158
Wagner needs to stay on his man.
You got a man down. Your prey is injured.

246
00:13:12,224 --> 00:13:14,160
I don't know what he's thinking right now.

247
00:13:14,226 --> 00:13:18,430
[Crowd chants "Breakker"]

248
00:13:18,497 --> 00:13:23,169
[Vic] The champion has risen.
Wagner doesn't realize it.

249
00:13:24,003 --> 00:13:28,607
Stone was trying to help Von out.
Wagner turned around, hoisted up.

250
00:13:29,341 --> 00:13:31,877
Not enough.
The lower back so much damage done.

251
00:13:31,944 --> 00:13:33,112
A second time.

252
00:13:33,179 --> 00:13:35,714
-[Book] This is it. Here we go.
-[Vic] Breakker able to counter.

253
00:13:36,348 --> 00:13:37,349
[Book] Wow.

254
00:13:38,217 --> 00:13:40,920
[Vic] Cover. Count. Breakker retains.

255
00:13:40,986 --> 00:13:42,321
[Bell rings] [Bron Breakker's music plays]

256
00:13:42,388 --> 00:13:45,991
[Book] What a battle. What a night.
What a fight.

257
00:13:46,058 --> 00:13:52,998
[announcer] Here is your winner and still
the NXT champion, Bron Breakker.

258
00:13:53,332 --> 00:13:54,366
[Vic] What a night, Book.

259
00:13:54,433 --> 00:13:57,036
It's just the opening
match here tonight on NXT.

260
00:13:57,102 --> 00:13:58,070
[Book] I'm excited right now.

261
00:13:58,137 --> 00:14:01,040
This kid right here Bron Breakker,
he lived up to the test.

262
00:14:01,106 --> 00:14:05,244
He is truly the NXT champion.

263
00:14:05,311 --> 00:14:08,247
[Vic] We talk about strength,
we talk about speed, athleticism.

264
00:14:08,314 --> 00:14:11,483
Bron Breakker takes high risks
and yet a lot of rewards.

265
00:14:11,550 --> 00:14:14,386
That big bulldog.
He was looking for that patented spear.

266
00:14:14,453 --> 00:14:15,921
Wagner had it scouted.

267
00:14:15,988 --> 00:14:20,125
In fact, bam, Wagner was able
to plant Breakker center of the ring,

268
00:14:20,192 --> 00:14:23,729
but the heart of the champion
continued to fight.

269
00:14:23,796 --> 00:14:27,900
A near fall, but then we go back.
Mr. Stone tried to help out Wagner.

270
00:14:27,967 --> 00:14:30,302
However, Wagner went for it one more time.

271
00:14:30,369 --> 00:14:33,205
Hit nothing but boom.

272
00:14:33,272 --> 00:14:35,841
Sticking the landing was Breakker

273
00:14:35,908 --> 00:14:40,746
who in the end has his hand
held high one more time.

274
00:14:40,813 --> 00:14:42,348
Another mountain climbed,

275
00:14:42,414 --> 00:14:48,087
another challenge conquered
by our NXT champion, Bron Breakker.

276
00:14:52,491 --> 00:14:56,028
[Fyre] Mandy Rose,
the only reason I stand here today

277
00:14:56,095 --> 00:15:00,232
without the NXT women's title
is because of your two best friends.

278
00:15:00,299 --> 00:15:06,639
[Vic] The numbers advantage played once
again into the hand of Mandy Rose.

279
00:15:06,705 --> 00:15:12,044
[announcer] And still champion,
Mandy Rose.

280
00:15:14,780 --> 00:15:16,315
[Vic] Fyre has risen.

281
00:15:17,583 --> 00:15:21,954
[Fyre] I've taken out Gigi Dolin
and I've taken out Jacy Jayne.

282
00:15:22,021 --> 00:15:24,390
[Mandy] Are you okay? Jacy?

283
00:15:24,456 --> 00:15:28,894
[Fyre] Hi, Mandy.
You don't have the numbers anymore.

284
00:15:28,961 --> 00:15:34,500
All you have is this fire keeper
burning a hole in your soul.

285
00:15:34,566 --> 00:15:38,237
Everything that you hold
close to you will go up in flames

286
00:15:38,304 --> 00:15:41,507
and your toxic empire
will come burning down.

287
00:15:41,807 --> 00:15:43,809
Except for Mandy.

288
00:15:43,876 --> 00:15:48,113
Mandy, the fear you're experiencing
has reigned.

289
00:15:48,180 --> 00:15:50,783
Tonight, anything goes.

290
00:15:51,517 --> 00:15:56,388
As I stand over you
the last woman standing

291
00:15:56,455 --> 00:16:01,160
and new NXT women's champion.

292
00:16:04,563 --> 00:16:08,667
[Vic] Huge match up still to come,
but let's go back to last week, shall we?

293
00:16:08,734 --> 00:16:10,936
A focused Zoey Stark shocked us all.

294
00:16:11,003 --> 00:16:15,074
We will hear from Stark
as she explains her actions next.

295
00:16:39,431 --> 00:16:41,400
Congratulations, champ.

296
00:16:41,467 --> 00:16:44,002
You know you're never going
to be done with me, right?

297
00:16:52,277 --> 00:16:54,646
[Zoey Stark's music plays]

298
00:16:54,713 --> 00:16:57,716
[Vic] Won't even give Bron Breakker
a chance to breathe.

299
00:16:57,783 --> 00:17:01,720
The bullseye continues
to grow on the champion's back.

300
00:17:05,357 --> 00:17:09,862
[Crowd boos]

301
00:17:09,928 --> 00:17:12,531
[announcer] Please welcome, Zoey Stark.

302
00:17:14,166 --> 00:17:15,968
[Vic] We speak about championships.

303
00:17:16,034 --> 00:17:18,737
You look at Zoey stark who
has been the number one contender

304
00:17:18,804 --> 00:17:20,739
for the NXT women's title.

305
00:17:20,806 --> 00:17:24,676
She recently had an NXT
women's tag team title match,

306
00:17:24,743 --> 00:17:29,915
and that brings me, Book,
to Zoey Stark shocking the NXT universe

307
00:17:29,982 --> 00:17:34,620
last Tuesday with her betrayal
of her tag team partner.

308
00:17:34,686 --> 00:17:38,157
[Book] Vic, see. Vic, it's all about me.

309
00:17:38,223 --> 00:17:41,293
It's all about what have you done
for me lately.

310
00:17:41,360 --> 00:17:46,265
Right now Zoey said, "Look, I'm looking
to get some action around here.

311
00:17:46,331 --> 00:17:50,002
I want to be in plain.
I want this to be my time."

312
00:17:50,069 --> 00:17:54,573
You know what, Vic? I get it.
I've been there. I understand.

313
00:18:02,014 --> 00:18:07,252
[Zoey] Oh, man, does my back
feels so much lighter

314
00:18:07,319 --> 00:18:12,391
not having to carry Nikkita Lyons
for another week?

315
00:18:13,792 --> 00:18:18,263
See, let me tell you a story.
Nine months ago, I was out on the shelf.

316
00:18:18,330 --> 00:18:21,500
I was on the shelf for nine months.

317
00:18:24,069 --> 00:18:27,406
When I came back in July,
I came in like a bat out of hell.

318
00:18:27,473 --> 00:18:32,611
I tore through 19 other women
to earn an opportunity against Mandy Rose

319
00:18:32,678 --> 00:18:36,415
for the NXT women's championship.

320
00:18:37,850 --> 00:18:40,519
I was ready. Boy, was I ready.

321
00:18:40,586 --> 00:18:45,324
Then I get called into a meeting,

322
00:18:45,390 --> 00:18:49,628
and in that meeting everything changed.

323
00:18:51,296 --> 00:18:54,032
See, in this meeting I was told
that they are going to hold a tournament

324
00:18:54,099 --> 00:18:58,337
for the WWE women's tag team championship,

325
00:18:58,403 --> 00:19:02,307
and they want me to team
with Nikkita Lyons.

326
00:19:06,178 --> 00:19:12,284
You guys, they chose us over more
established teams like Toxic Attraction

327
00:19:13,785 --> 00:19:17,389
or the champs, Kayden and Katana.

328
00:19:20,025 --> 00:19:21,894
I knew I was going to have
to do a lot of the heavy lifting,

329
00:19:21,960 --> 00:19:23,762
and that was fine, but I held great pride

330
00:19:23,829 --> 00:19:27,166
in knowing that we were going
to represent NXT.

331
00:19:29,468 --> 00:19:31,570
But as we all know,
we didn't get to make it to that part

332
00:19:31,637 --> 00:19:36,175
because after my match
against Mandy Rose at Heatwave,

333
00:19:36,975 --> 00:19:39,211
I wasn't medically cleared.

334
00:19:41,079 --> 00:19:45,584
As I was in the medical room,
Nikkita Lyons she walks in.

335
00:19:45,651 --> 00:19:47,619
She puts her hand on my shoulder.

336
00:19:47,686 --> 00:19:49,688
She looks me dead in the eyes
and she says,

337
00:19:49,755 --> 00:19:54,426
"Zoey, it's okay. Accidents happen.

338
00:19:55,027 --> 00:19:57,396
I'm not mad at you."

339
00:19:57,462 --> 00:19:59,464
[Laughs]

340
00:19:59,531 --> 00:20:03,569
She's not mad at me
like I'm the weak link in the team?

341
00:20:03,635 --> 00:20:04,603
No.

342
00:20:04,670 --> 00:20:11,577
I did not get injured doing training
or doing stupid videos on social media.

343
00:20:11,643 --> 00:20:15,314
I got injured wrestling,

344
00:20:15,380 --> 00:20:19,985
working with one of the top
dominant females in NXT.

345
00:20:20,052 --> 00:20:22,988
One of the best champions
that we've had, Mandy Rose.

346
00:20:25,524 --> 00:20:27,492
What did I do when I returned?

347
00:20:28,694 --> 00:20:33,865
Well, I put Nikkita Lyons
on my back and I carried her ass.

348
00:20:36,935 --> 00:20:39,004
I carried her through the training,

349
00:20:40,505 --> 00:20:44,810
the advice, the tape study,
all of the help, and guys, all I asked,

350
00:20:44,876 --> 00:20:49,147
I asked for one simple thing,
take a fraction of the work.

351
00:20:49,214 --> 00:20:56,188
Lighten the load off of my shoulders
just a little bit, but no.

352
00:20:58,323 --> 00:21:03,228
You see, all I got was endless apologies

353
00:21:03,295 --> 00:21:06,598
instead of endless results.

354
00:21:07,299 --> 00:21:09,968
I was angry, but I'm not anymore

355
00:21:11,069 --> 00:21:14,806
because when I had those tag titles
in my hand last week,

356
00:21:14,873 --> 00:21:16,942
which should be mine,

357
00:21:18,677 --> 00:21:23,548
oh, I knew exactly what I needed to do.

358
00:21:27,786 --> 00:21:30,589
[Vic] This is what I was referencing
last Tuesday.

359
00:21:30,656 --> 00:21:33,125
We thought it was a sign of sportsmanship,

360
00:21:33,191 --> 00:21:39,064
instead it was Zoey Stark
with a sign of selfishness.

361
00:21:40,866 --> 00:21:46,505
[Crowd boos]

362
00:21:49,941 --> 00:21:53,378
You see, guys. You guys, I tried.

363
00:21:53,445 --> 00:21:56,181
I tried my hardest to help Nikkita Lyons,

364
00:21:56,248 --> 00:21:58,450
and not only that,
I was helping the new recruits,

365
00:21:58,517 --> 00:22:00,819
I was helping the new athletes

366
00:22:00,886 --> 00:22:04,222
and the more I helped
and the more time I gave them

367
00:22:04,289 --> 00:22:06,158
the more they just clung

368
00:22:06,224 --> 00:22:11,496
and leeched off of me and I'm done.

369
00:22:12,331 --> 00:22:13,832
I am tired of it.

370
00:22:13,899 --> 00:22:17,202
I tried to be a part of the solution,

371
00:22:17,769 --> 00:22:22,674
but you see, now, oh,
now I'm a huge part of the problem.

372
00:22:25,077 --> 00:22:28,714
You see, I didn't get famous
posing on the beach.

373
00:22:28,780 --> 00:22:35,287
I did not get famous doing some stupid,
ridiculous dance on social media.

374
00:22:35,354 --> 00:22:40,759
No, I did it all in this ring.
I busted my ass in this ring.

375
00:22:45,464 --> 00:22:49,835
For all of you who's clapping,
nodding along, cheering me on,

376
00:22:51,103 --> 00:22:53,405
screw you.

377
00:22:54,606 --> 00:22:58,443
[crowd boos]

378
00:22:58,510 --> 00:23:02,981
You are all the same people
who go on social media

379
00:23:03,048 --> 00:23:05,584
and like those comments
and like those posts.

380
00:23:05,650 --> 00:23:07,652
You are all the same people--

381
00:23:14,059 --> 00:23:17,129
I'm not angry anymore
because I took care of what I needed to.

382
00:23:17,195 --> 00:23:23,568
You are all the same people who look
at Nikkita Lyons with all of her assets

383
00:23:23,635 --> 00:23:26,204
and then you go to bed
dreaming about her all night.

384
00:23:26,271 --> 00:23:31,977
So screw all of you. All.

385
00:23:32,043 --> 00:23:34,379
[Crowd boos]

386
00:23:34,446 --> 00:23:39,184
You see, the way I see it,
NXT is no longer about the future,

387
00:23:39,251 --> 00:23:44,322
uh-uh, it's about Zoey Stark,

388
00:23:45,791 --> 00:23:50,762
and you see, oh, baby, I am undeniable.

389
00:23:53,398 --> 00:24:00,372
I'm the hunter while every
female back there is the prey.

390
00:24:03,442 --> 00:24:10,415
[Zoey Stark's music plays]

391
00:24:13,185 --> 00:24:14,953
[Chase] My favorite is really
stepping up lately.

392
00:24:15,020 --> 00:24:16,154
She got all these right.

393
00:24:18,924 --> 00:24:20,792
[Duke] You wanted to see me, Mr. Chase?

394
00:24:20,859 --> 00:24:22,160
Sit down, Duke.

395
00:24:24,663 --> 00:24:27,766
[Chase] I've got to know
why did you throw in the towel last week?

396
00:24:27,833 --> 00:24:29,935
Did you want to see me lose?

397
00:24:31,069 --> 00:24:33,805
I guess that's a good question
given my track record.

398
00:24:36,675 --> 00:24:39,244
Okay. You want the truth?

399
00:24:39,311 --> 00:24:40,779
I want to know right now.

400
00:24:40,846 --> 00:24:43,882
You want the truth? Okay, here it is.

401
00:24:45,884 --> 00:24:49,087
Mr. Chase, you were in so much pain.
I couldn't stand to watch.

402
00:24:49,788 --> 00:24:52,424
You know your health is far more
important to me than a wrestling match.

403
00:24:53,425 --> 00:24:57,028
Mr. Chase, you are a fantastic educator,
but you know nothing about quitting.

404
00:24:57,095 --> 00:25:00,832
You don't know the meaning of the word,
that's why I threw in the towel last week

405
00:25:00,899 --> 00:25:02,601
so that you could live
to fight another day.

406
00:25:03,468 --> 00:25:06,137
Imagine if Charlie Dempsey
did damage to your shoulder.

407
00:25:07,205 --> 00:25:09,608
If you go down, we go down.

408
00:25:10,375 --> 00:25:13,512
If you're on the shelf,
the entire university is on the shelf,

409
00:25:13,578 --> 00:25:16,414
that is why I threw in the towel last week

410
00:25:17,082 --> 00:25:21,152
and if people want to say that
I care too much about the university,

411
00:25:21,553 --> 00:25:24,723
that I bleed black and red, good.

412
00:25:26,291 --> 00:25:27,592
Guilty as charged.

413
00:25:31,263 --> 00:25:32,330
Okay.

414
00:25:32,397 --> 00:25:34,199
[Door knocks]

415
00:25:34,266 --> 00:25:38,603
Mr. Chase, you wanted to go over a paper?

416
00:25:38,670 --> 00:25:40,572
-Yes, take a seat.
-Oh, thank you.

417
00:25:40,639 --> 00:25:44,075
I don't want to take up
too much of your time.

418
00:25:46,645 --> 00:25:49,915
You know, Duke's kind of growing on me.

419
00:25:53,652 --> 00:25:56,821
[Vic] A lot for chase to think about,
but as you can see this duo

420
00:25:56,888 --> 00:25:59,190
putting in their final moments
of preparation

421
00:25:59,257 --> 00:26:01,626
before inflicting pain and punishment.

422
00:26:01,693 --> 00:26:03,962
Sanga, Veer, next.

423
00:26:13,972 --> 00:26:18,209
I came back to NXT for one reason,
the NXT title.

424
00:26:19,644 --> 00:26:22,414
I get it, man.
I know you're sore, you're tired,

425
00:26:22,480 --> 00:26:23,748
but just watch what I do
out there tonight.

426
00:26:23,815 --> 00:26:27,252
Watch what I do because
when one challenge ends,

427
00:26:28,853 --> 00:26:30,722
the next one begins.

428
00:26:31,890 --> 00:26:32,824
Later, champ.

429
00:26:37,162 --> 00:26:40,265
[Vic] First McDonagh, now Crews.

430
00:26:40,332 --> 00:26:44,369
The list of challengers
continuing to grow for Bron Breakker.

431
00:26:44,436 --> 00:26:46,237
[Indus Sher's music plays]

432
00:26:46,304 --> 00:26:48,206
[Bell rings]

433
00:26:48,273 --> 00:26:52,310
[announcer] The following contest
is tag team match scheduled for one fall.

434
00:26:52,377 --> 00:26:56,081
Introducing Indus Sher.

435
00:26:57,082 --> 00:27:00,986
[Vic] What is the relationship, Book,
between these two superstars?

436
00:27:02,220 --> 00:27:03,455
[Book] Is that a question?

437
00:27:03,521 --> 00:27:05,890
[Vic] That's why I'm asking you because
I'm not going to get close to those two.

438
00:27:05,957 --> 00:27:07,459
[Book] How do I know?

439
00:27:07,525 --> 00:27:08,593
[Vic] You know everything.

440
00:27:08,660 --> 00:27:10,562
[Book] I know nothing about these two,

441
00:27:10,629 --> 00:27:16,334
but they are very, very intimidating
to say the least.

442
00:27:16,401 --> 00:27:20,672
[Vic] We saw them staring down
the creeds last week.

443
00:27:20,739 --> 00:27:22,841
Veer Mahaan has made it very clear.

444
00:27:22,907 --> 00:27:28,046
He has made claims that both men have
not been respected enough here in NXT,

445
00:27:28,113 --> 00:27:30,382
so I'll ask you about that,
the respect factor.

446
00:27:30,448 --> 00:27:34,085
Do you agree or disagree with Mahaan?

447
00:27:34,152 --> 00:27:35,720
[Book] As far as?

448
00:27:35,787 --> 00:27:38,423
[Vic] Getting respect from everyone.
Do you need to take it from them?

449
00:27:38,490 --> 00:27:40,091
[Book] Well, yes,
you've got to take respect.

450
00:27:40,158 --> 00:27:42,727
You've got to understand,
these two Sanga and Veer

451
00:27:42,794 --> 00:27:46,131
came from the richest parts of India.

452
00:27:46,197 --> 00:27:49,501
They're used to having
everything on a silver platter.

453
00:27:49,968 --> 00:27:52,837
Here it's a little bit different.
Yes, you've got to take it.

454
00:27:52,904 --> 00:27:55,140
[Vic] Well, Sanga starting off
with George Cannon.

455
00:27:55,206 --> 00:27:57,275
I had a chance to talk to Cannon earlier,

456
00:27:57,342 --> 00:27:59,177
said he was excited tonight
to live his dream.

457
00:27:59,244 --> 00:28:00,111
He is one of 12 kids.

458
00:28:00,178 --> 00:28:03,448
He hopes his dad Nick,
and mother, Abby, are watching.

459
00:28:03,515 --> 00:28:04,949
-[Book] Wait a minute.
-[Vic] I hope they are.

460
00:28:05,016 --> 00:28:06,484
[Book] You talking about this
kid getting the hell beat out of him?

461
00:28:06,551 --> 00:28:08,687
[Book] Yes, because his dream
is about to be turned into a nightmare

462
00:28:08,753 --> 00:28:09,788
courtesy of Sanga.

463
00:28:09,854 --> 00:28:10,955
[Book] What's his name again?

464
00:28:11,022 --> 00:28:13,158
-[Vic] George-- it doesn't matter.
-[Book] Oh, I'm sorry.

465
00:28:13,224 --> 00:28:15,126
[Laughs]

466
00:28:15,193 --> 00:28:18,930
Sanga, this guy right here is very,
like I said--

467
00:28:18,997 --> 00:28:20,098
I'm going to tell you,

468
00:28:20,165 --> 00:28:22,133
if you get the right person
behind Sanga and Veer--

469
00:28:22,200 --> 00:28:23,034
[Vic] Oh, no, no, no.

470
00:28:23,101 --> 00:28:27,672
[Book] They're going to be very,
very formidable as a tag team.

471
00:28:27,739 --> 00:28:31,342
[Vic] Veer's the one behind Sanga who
no longer appears to be this gentle giant.

472
00:28:31,409 --> 00:28:33,845
Look at Ivy Nile, look at Valentina Peroz,

473
00:28:33,912 --> 00:28:36,915
the relationships they had with Sanga
have gone away.

474
00:28:36,981 --> 00:28:38,249
[Book] Oh, double up.

475
00:28:39,651 --> 00:28:43,021
[Vic] Well, there's that nightmare
becoming a reality for Cannon.

476
00:28:43,088 --> 00:28:46,024
Look at Mahaan, such a stoic Individual.

477
00:28:49,694 --> 00:28:51,329
What's going through-- uh-oh.

478
00:28:51,396 --> 00:28:52,363
[Book] Look at the aggression.

479
00:28:52,430 --> 00:28:53,832
Look at the aggression
right here from Veer.

480
00:28:53,898 --> 00:28:56,735
[Vic] Yes, he wants a tag to be made
because he wants to continue to feast.

481
00:29:00,705 --> 00:29:01,840
I wouldn't tag in.

482
00:29:01,906 --> 00:29:03,675
[Book] Is this kid out of high school?

483
00:29:03,742 --> 00:29:06,711
[Vic] He didn't allow him to tag,
he forced him to.

484
00:29:09,347 --> 00:29:11,382
-[Book] Oh, my god.
-[Vic] Jeez.

485
00:29:11,449 --> 00:29:14,586
[Book] I'm going to tell you right here,
for me and my brother, Harlem Heat,

486
00:29:14,652 --> 00:29:19,290
we needed that one thing
to make us great, that legitimized.

487
00:29:19,357 --> 00:29:22,127
I would love to see these two right here

488
00:29:22,193 --> 00:29:24,963
with that right direction,
with that right complexion.

489
00:29:25,029 --> 00:29:27,098
Oh, it could be dangerous, man.

490
00:29:27,165 --> 00:29:31,236
[Vic] Well, look, whatever Veer is selling
Sanga certainly is buying.

491
00:29:33,705 --> 00:29:35,306
I'm getting uncomfortable watching.

492
00:29:35,373 --> 00:29:37,142
You're leaning back
in your chair right now.

493
00:29:37,208 --> 00:29:38,376
This is getting-- Oh, not again.

494
00:29:39,577 --> 00:29:44,983
[Book] Black sir-mix-a-lot. Double up.
Double up one time.

495
00:29:47,418 --> 00:29:49,454
[Vic] I don't want to see any more doubles
I don't want to see any more triples,

496
00:29:49,521 --> 00:29:53,591
just please end this
as Sanga now with the--

497
00:29:53,658 --> 00:29:57,028
[Book] Oh, my god. This right here is--

498
00:29:57,095 --> 00:29:59,364
[Vic] We said it would be pain,
we said it would be punishment.

499
00:29:59,430 --> 00:30:01,633
-[Vic] Book, he's grabbing his ear.
-[Book] Look, Vic, this is a message.

500
00:30:02,133 --> 00:30:03,101
[Vic] That's one-handed.

501
00:30:03,168 --> 00:30:05,637
[Book] This is a message.
This is a message to the locker room.

502
00:30:05,703 --> 00:30:09,607
Everybody right now,
every tag team right now in NXT,

503
00:30:09,674 --> 00:30:12,811
you don't know this man.

504
00:30:14,979 --> 00:30:16,114
Look at that.

505
00:30:16,181 --> 00:30:20,718
Like a bear with this prey
right now just looking him over.

506
00:30:20,785 --> 00:30:23,688
Wow, did you see the height of that elbow?

507
00:30:26,591 --> 00:30:29,027
[Vic] At least this young man
got permission from his parents tonight.

508
00:30:29,093 --> 00:30:30,628
This is an ass-kicking.

509
00:30:30,695 --> 00:30:31,830
[Book] You see the height on that elbow?

510
00:30:31,896 --> 00:30:32,864
My, god.

511
00:30:32,931 --> 00:30:34,165
Like I say, right now,

512
00:30:34,232 --> 00:30:37,869
these two right here talking
about passing that airport test.

513
00:30:37,936 --> 00:30:40,805
Oh, yes, they do.

514
00:30:40,872 --> 00:30:45,076
[Vic] You talk about Sanga and Mahaan
are going to take anything by force.

515
00:30:45,143 --> 00:30:46,544
You're loving it right now.

516
00:30:49,681 --> 00:30:52,183
Just looking around,
some jaws just wide open

517
00:30:52,250 --> 00:30:56,254
and NXT universe
almost watching this in shock.

518
00:30:56,321 --> 00:30:57,555
[Book] The school of hard knocks.

519
00:30:57,622 --> 00:30:59,357
[Vic] This is getting uneasy to watch,
Book.

520
00:30:59,424 --> 00:31:00,992
[Book] This kid takes some time off.

521
00:31:01,059 --> 00:31:04,896
He needs to be in school somewhere,
he needs to be in somebody's college.

522
00:31:04,963 --> 00:31:07,198
This is not the place
for this kid right now.

523
00:31:07,265 --> 00:31:08,800
[Vic] Book, I've never
heard you talk so fast.

524
00:31:08,867 --> 00:31:09,767
[Bell rings]

525
00:31:09,834 --> 00:31:12,170
[Vic] I've never been so thankful
to see a match end this quick.

526
00:31:12,570 --> 00:31:15,907
[announcer] Here are your winners,
Indus Sher.

527
00:31:20,211 --> 00:31:22,981
[Vic] Let's go back to some
of this action in this match.

528
00:31:23,481 --> 00:31:26,084
You talk about strength,
you talk about the height.

529
00:31:26,150 --> 00:31:27,185
[Book] Oh, my god.

530
00:31:27,252 --> 00:31:31,522
[Vic] Look at the impact that
indus sher has made here tonight.

531
00:31:32,957 --> 00:31:34,459
-[Vic] Unreal.
-[Book] I like it.

532
00:31:36,828 --> 00:31:40,665
Creed brothers,
we have a great respect for you,

533
00:31:41,933 --> 00:31:44,736
the NXT universe
has great respect for you.

534
00:31:48,539 --> 00:31:52,010
They respect you,
but they don't respect us.

535
00:31:54,646 --> 00:31:59,784
In India, we are treated like
celebrities, but here in america,

536
00:32:00,652 --> 00:32:06,891
we're not appreciated.
Sanga and I no longer stand.

537
00:32:07,892 --> 00:32:12,096
The only way to gain
their respect is by destroying you.

538
00:32:12,797 --> 00:32:17,268
Unfortunately, brothers,
that's what we are going to do.

539
00:32:18,503 --> 00:32:25,476
[Indus sher's music plays]

540
00:32:29,247 --> 00:32:31,582
Respect after these dudes jumped us?

541
00:32:31,649 --> 00:32:32,550
They're delusional.

542
00:32:32,617 --> 00:32:33,584
We're going to maul them.

543
00:32:33,651 --> 00:32:35,620
Yes, man, they dominated,
but you're right.

544
00:32:35,954 --> 00:32:37,622
They're trying to make
a name off diamond mine?

545
00:32:37,689 --> 00:32:38,990
You already know what it is.

546
00:32:39,057 --> 00:32:40,925
They want to hit us,
we're just going to hit them harder.

547
00:32:40,992 --> 00:32:42,961
They want to step up,
we'll throw them down.

548
00:32:43,027 --> 00:32:45,730
Nobody stepping on us to get anywhere.

549
00:32:45,797 --> 00:32:47,699
Big ive, pax. What's up?

550
00:32:47,765 --> 00:32:51,102
Guys, don't worry about this.
We're finally over the Damon Kemp hump.

551
00:32:51,469 --> 00:32:54,639
He's the reason that you
guys aren't the tag team champions.

552
00:32:55,006 --> 00:32:57,075
You guys need to circle
around back to the titles

553
00:32:57,308 --> 00:32:59,043
and don't worry about indus sher.

554
00:32:59,110 --> 00:33:00,278
You guys need to worry about

555
00:33:00,345 --> 00:33:01,879
look, I hear you. We both hear you, right?

556
00:33:02,246 --> 00:33:04,215
Veer and sanga, they called for us.

557
00:33:04,282 --> 00:33:05,683
We can't let that go unanswered.

558
00:33:05,883 --> 00:33:08,052
This isn't the kind of stuff you can just
let go unchecked.

559
00:33:08,353 --> 00:33:09,854
Ivy, they started it.

560
00:33:10,355 --> 00:33:11,823
I'm not going to argue with you guys.

561
00:33:12,056 --> 00:33:15,059
Pax has a match she needs
to get ready for, but personally,

562
00:33:15,226 --> 00:33:16,928
I think you guys are after
the wrong people.

563
00:33:17,228 --> 00:33:18,162
Good luck.

564
00:33:18,229 --> 00:33:19,197
Thanks, guys.

565
00:33:19,364 --> 00:33:20,631
After the wrong people.

566
00:33:20,698 --> 00:33:21,532
What?

567
00:33:21,833 --> 00:33:22,667
I disagree.

568
00:33:22,734 --> 00:33:24,969
It's indus sher, then it's pretty deadly.

569
00:33:25,036 --> 00:33:26,070
We got to handle this first.

570
00:33:26,137 --> 00:33:27,171
[JD McDonagh's music plays]

571
00:33:27,238 --> 00:33:31,843
[Vic] Book, the big fight
feel continues right now here on NXT.

572
00:33:35,646 --> 00:33:36,514
[Bell rings]

573
00:33:36,581 --> 00:33:38,950
[announcer] The following contest
is scheduled for one fall.

574
00:33:39,183 --> 00:33:43,855
Introducing first, JD McDonagh.

575
00:33:43,921 --> 00:33:47,725
[Vic] Both McDonagh and Crews
had had words with the NXT champion,

576
00:33:47,792 --> 00:33:50,795
Bron Breakker, who was victorious
earlier tonight.

577
00:33:51,162 --> 00:33:54,932
Combustible elements
finally meet one-on-one.

578
00:33:54,999 --> 00:33:59,370
McDonagh, Crews live next on NXT.

579
00:34:04,475 --> 00:34:07,912
I'm now joined by Wendy
choo, and Wendy, last week, Cora Jade

580
00:34:07,979 --> 00:34:10,148
had some very strong
words directed at you.

581
00:34:10,214 --> 00:34:11,449
What's your response to that?

582
00:34:12,049 --> 00:34:15,219
Cora Jade is always
going to be a salty and petulant child.

583
00:34:15,420 --> 00:34:17,155
She's never going to change.

584
00:34:17,622 --> 00:34:20,892
She said some things about
me last week that just aren't true,

585
00:34:21,592 --> 00:34:28,099
but she did say some
things about me that I haven't heard

586
00:34:28,166 --> 00:34:29,901
since high school.

587
00:34:30,201 --> 00:34:32,203
She's trying to open old wounds.

588
00:34:33,538 --> 00:34:35,673
The fact is, I am a little whacky.

589
00:34:35,873 --> 00:34:38,676
I just like to be fun and not so serious.

590
00:34:38,910 --> 00:34:42,647
Cora and anyone else
who disagrees needs to take a long

591
00:34:42,713 --> 00:34:43,648
hard look in the mirror.

592
00:34:44,081 --> 00:34:46,317
In Cora's case, I want her to wait a week

593
00:34:46,784 --> 00:34:48,553
because I want her to look at herself

594
00:34:48,619 --> 00:34:51,589
in the mirror after
I give her two black eyes.

595
00:34:55,159 --> 00:34:57,895
[Vic] A lot of unsolved
issues between Jade and choo,

596
00:34:57,962 --> 00:35:00,665
and the same could be said
for our next match up.

597
00:35:00,731 --> 00:35:02,066
Book, actually let's go back.

598
00:35:02,133 --> 00:35:03,568
It was last week.

599
00:35:03,634 --> 00:35:06,370
It was a banger of a match
between McDonagh and axiom.

600
00:35:06,437 --> 00:35:08,706
This is where the match came to a halt.

601
00:35:08,773 --> 00:35:11,008
The body isn't supposed to bend that way.

602
00:35:11,075 --> 00:35:14,645
As a matter of fact, Book,
you said right here, you heard a pop.

603
00:35:14,712 --> 00:35:17,248
[Book] Yes. Turned that boy
into a contortionist.

604
00:35:17,315 --> 00:35:19,183
It was nasty.

605
00:35:19,250 --> 00:35:20,451
[Apollo Crews' music plays]

606
00:35:20,518 --> 00:35:25,890
[Vic] A match that hopefully
axiom back sooner rather than later.

607
00:35:27,125 --> 00:35:30,294
Ironically, axiom did suffer
a severe knee strain

608
00:35:30,361 --> 00:35:32,096
which what McDonagh suggested.

609
00:35:34,432 --> 00:35:38,936
Making his way to the ring, Apollo Crews.

610
00:35:39,003 --> 00:35:43,374
[Vic] McDonagh has been focused
on Apollo Crews who a few weeks ago

611
00:35:43,441 --> 00:35:47,111
said, if Crews stayed
focused on the NXT title,

612
00:35:47,612 --> 00:35:50,081
he would detach Crews' retina.

613
00:35:50,581 --> 00:35:53,217
It is comments like that-- you smile.
You think it's great.

614
00:35:53,284 --> 00:35:56,087
It's comments like that--
I went up to McDonagh and asked

615
00:35:56,154 --> 00:35:58,823
him about the issues he has with
the locker room, and he looked

616
00:35:58,890 --> 00:36:01,359
at me very sarcastically said,
"it's me. Hi.

617
00:36:01,425 --> 00:36:02,393
I'm the problem?

618
00:36:02,460 --> 00:36:03,327
It's me?"

619
00:36:03,394 --> 00:36:04,228
What's wrong with this guy?

620
00:36:04,295 --> 00:36:05,830
Does he not see he's the issue?

621
00:36:05,897 --> 00:36:09,800
[Book] Let me tell you, man.
I like this kid McDonagh.

622
00:36:09,867 --> 00:36:15,540
He's very, very confident in himself
and he's that number one stunner.

623
00:36:15,806 --> 00:36:17,608
You better keep your eye
open because, tonight,

624
00:36:17,775 --> 00:36:19,710
this is going to be a hell of a match up.

625
00:36:19,777 --> 00:36:20,645
[Vic] How sadistic is this?

626
00:36:20,711 --> 00:36:22,813
Look at the cold eyes just
staring into the back of Crews.

627
00:36:22,880 --> 00:36:24,949
[Book] Listen, soul came out
back in the day.

628
00:36:25,016 --> 00:36:28,185
We're talking you got to play thin
and that's what McDonagh

629
00:36:28,686 --> 00:36:31,355
is all about, winning.

630

631
00:36:32,890 --> 00:36:37,261
[Vic] McDonagh has a personal
vendetta against the locker room, Book.

632
00:36:37,328 --> 00:36:39,597
As he's going in here
against Apollo Crews.

633
00:36:39,664 --> 00:36:40,731
I'll be point blank here.

634
00:36:40,798 --> 00:36:41,632
[Book] Beautiful.

635
00:36:41,699 --> 00:36:43,100
[Vic] You see the winner
of this being next in line for Breakker?

636
00:36:43,167 --> 00:36:45,670
[Book] Let me tell you,
I wouldn't disagree with that because

637
00:36:45,736 --> 00:36:47,805
Apollo, he's a hell of an athlete.

638
00:36:48,272 --> 00:36:49,640
He's a hell of an Individual.

639
00:36:49,707 --> 00:36:53,444
Trying to reset his career by winning
that championship,

640
00:36:53,511 --> 00:36:55,079
that would put him right back on the map.

641
00:36:55,146 --> 00:36:56,180
[Vic] Shoulders down.

642
00:36:56,247 --> 00:36:57,081
Quick kick out.

643
00:36:57,148 --> 00:36:59,050
What a huge night that this has been.

The NXT title match to kick us off,
this contest,

still to come.

646
00:37:04,422 --> 00:37:08,259
What do you think, Book, is Shawn
Michaels' announcement going to be?

647
00:37:08,326 --> 00:37:09,927
We've all been waiting for a week.

648
00:37:09,994 --> 00:37:10,861
[Book] I don't know.

649
00:37:10,928 --> 00:37:12,163
Normally I would know about this business.

650
00:37:12,396 --> 00:37:16,000
You got to always expect the unexpected.

651
00:37:16,067 --> 00:37:17,101
That's what "the Macho man"

652
00:37:17,168 --> 00:37:19,971
savage said back in the day,
and i believe it.

653
00:37:20,271 --> 00:37:22,773
Look at the quickness by Apollo.

654
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:26,777
[Vic] Nice arm drag by Crews, and crews
in control of this match early on.

655
00:37:26,844 --> 00:37:29,480
Look, WWE's always in search for the next
great superstar,

656
00:37:29,547 --> 00:37:31,983
Apollo was honored to be part
of the search.

that was win the NXT championship.

00:37:41,058 --> 00:37:42,660
When you take a look at
both these superstars,

661
00:37:42,727 --> 00:37:45,496
neither of them lack
any sort of confidence.

662
00:37:45,563 --> 00:37:46,731
As McDonagh answers right back.

663
00:37:46,797 --> 00:37:49,900
[Book] Apollo knows all about the gold,
man.

664
00:37:50,368 --> 00:37:54,038
One-time intercontinental
champion, one-time United States champion.

665
00:37:54,105 --> 00:37:57,508
Looking to win this NXT championship,
but right now

666
00:37:57,575 --> 00:38:00,611
this is hard road to hold right here.

667
00:38:00,678 --> 00:38:04,815
This is McDonagh,
that number one stunner, and he's good.

668
00:38:04,882 --> 00:38:07,818
That's g-o-o-d-t.

669
00:38:07,885 --> 00:38:09,020
He's good.

670
00:38:09,086 --> 00:38:11,389
[Vic] You're on one here tonight, Book.

671
00:38:11,455 --> 00:38:15,493
As this match up continuing
with McDonagh now in control.

672
00:38:15,559 --> 00:38:17,695
We take a look at these two.

673
00:38:17,762 --> 00:38:19,563
They are certainly evenly matched.

674
00:38:20,331 --> 00:38:21,899
[Book] I would agree with that.

675
00:38:21,966 --> 00:38:23,534
You look at someone like Apollo.

676
00:38:23,601 --> 00:38:29,507
This guy came up under
the expert tutelage of Mr. Hughes.

677
00:38:29,573 --> 00:38:32,310
He's been around a minute
and put this kid McDonagh.

678
00:38:32,376 --> 00:38:35,746
When you got a kid that come across
the pond, he feels like

679
00:38:35,813 --> 00:38:37,415
he has a little bit more to prove.

680
00:38:37,481 --> 00:38:40,851
He got to go out there
and he got to take it.

681
00:38:40,918 --> 00:38:42,186
[Book] Oh, wow.

682
00:38:42,253 --> 00:38:43,321
Big back body drop.

683
00:38:43,387 --> 00:38:44,689
Book, you got a busy night.

684
00:38:44,755 --> 00:38:46,557
You'll be in the middle of that contact
signing for the north

685
00:38:46,624 --> 00:38:49,760
American championship,
that also still to come here on NXT.

686
00:38:49,827 --> 00:38:53,030
Right now, Apollo Crews
spinning McDonagh around.

687
00:38:53,097 --> 00:38:56,667
Zeroing in, and there's the power
showcased by Crews.

688
00:38:56,734 --> 00:38:59,904
McDonagh knocked all the way out
of the ring, and McDonagh

689
00:39:00,237 --> 00:39:02,773
starting to become frustrated
in this match up.

690
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:05,109
[Book] If he's smart,
he'll take a time out right there.

691
00:39:05,176 --> 00:39:09,113
Try to get a breather,
try to get a little bit of separation

692
00:39:09,180 --> 00:39:11,315
from this kid Apollo because-- wow.

693
00:39:11,382 --> 00:39:13,284
Almost got him.

694
00:39:13,351 --> 00:39:17,788
[Vic] Yes, a little bit of separation
and Crews one step ahead of-- whoa.

695
00:39:17,855 --> 00:39:19,123
Almost in our lap.

696
00:39:19,523 --> 00:39:20,691
Crews came to play.

697
00:39:20,758 --> 00:39:22,059
Crews came to win.

698
00:39:22,126 --> 00:39:25,129
Crews came to make a point
here tonight on NXT.

699
00:39:25,596 --> 00:39:26,464
[Book] What the hell?

700
00:39:29,767 --> 00:39:30,835
[Vic] Back live on NXT.

701
00:39:30,901 --> 00:39:33,304
It has been all McDonagh
throughout the break,

702
00:39:33,371 --> 00:39:38,542
but right now, Crews looking to turn
things around and in a big way.

703
00:39:40,478 --> 00:39:41,612
McDonagh.

704
00:39:41,679 --> 00:39:42,713
[Book] Oh, no. Wow.

705
00:39:42,780 --> 00:39:44,949
That right there could've knocked
the wind out of McDonagh.

706
00:39:46,183 --> 00:39:47,351
Oh, no.

707
00:39:47,418 --> 00:39:50,521
[Book] McDonagh right back in,
and he's got it cinched in, Book.

708
00:39:50,588 --> 00:39:53,224
He's got the sleeper hold cinched in,
and even a body scissors.

709
00:39:53,290 --> 00:39:56,894
Pushing, driving, squeezing the air out
of Crews, who recognizes

710
00:39:56,961 --> 00:39:59,663
it and gets back to a vertical base
and has to create separation.

711
00:39:59,730 --> 00:40:03,000
[Book] The strength from this Apollo Crews
is unbelievable.

712
00:40:03,067 --> 00:40:04,635
[Vic] Crews turning it right around.

713
00:40:04,702 --> 00:40:06,036
[Book] Whoa. Wow.

714
00:40:06,103 --> 00:40:07,838
[Vic] Body-to-back suplex by McDonagh.

715
00:40:07,905 --> 00:40:10,307
[Book] Great transition by McDonagh.

716
00:40:10,374 --> 00:40:12,109
That's what I like about this kid.

717
00:40:12,176 --> 00:40:15,379
He has every tool in the toolbar.

718
00:40:15,446 --> 00:40:18,282
[Vic] He also has an unhealthy obsession
with the human anatomy.

719
00:40:18,349 --> 00:40:22,787
How did someone so menacing, so sadistic,
such as a superstar

720
00:40:22,853 --> 00:40:24,922
like Donagh end up on your fave five?

721
00:40:24,989 --> 00:40:29,360
[Book] Look at his last two opponents,
Axiom, Body Bag, Dragunov, Body Bag.

722
00:40:29,426 --> 00:40:32,663
This kid, McDonagh, is what you call--

723
00:40:32,730 --> 00:40:36,967
he's in his own zone right now.

724
00:40:37,034 --> 00:40:41,305
I'm going to tell you right now,
Apollo better use what I call the two cs.

725
00:40:41,472 --> 00:40:45,309
He better be cautious and very careful
in this match.

726
00:40:45,376 --> 00:40:48,078
[Vic] Well, he just threw
caution to the wind and dropped McDonagh.

727
00:40:48,145 --> 00:40:51,482
As you see Crews favoring
that left shoulder.

728
00:40:51,649 --> 00:40:54,018
Certainly, we talked about
the human anatomy, McDonagh's

729
00:40:54,084 --> 00:40:56,787
going to know Crews is not going
to have the same amount of power

730
00:40:56,854 --> 00:40:57,888
if there's any damage in that shoulder.

731
00:40:57,955 --> 00:41:02,526
[Book] Yes. Like I said, there's something
about a kid that comes

732
00:41:02,593 --> 00:41:04,595
all the way across the pond.

733
00:41:04,662 --> 00:41:07,364
He wants it, he wants it bad.

734
00:41:07,431 --> 00:41:10,434
I'm going to tell you right now, Apollo,
he's ready to take it to the limit

735
00:41:10,501 --> 00:41:13,704
and do what he needs to do to get
this win tonight.

736
00:41:14,605 --> 00:41:17,508
[Vic] Clobbering combination
offense by Crews.

737
00:41:17,575 --> 00:41:20,811
Crews now, oh, right back in on McDonagh.

738
00:41:20,878 --> 00:41:24,048
Look Crews' mindset, Book,
hasn't waivered since his return.

739
00:41:24,448 --> 00:41:28,652
[Book] You heard what Crews said earlier,
he's here for one reason, one reason only.

740
00:41:29,119 --> 00:41:30,721
That's the NXT championship.

741
00:41:30,788 --> 00:41:34,525
And to do it he has to go through
JD McDonagh.

742
00:41:34,592 --> 00:41:38,095
[Vic] Has McDonagh center
of the ring now, and now for extra

743
00:41:38,162 --> 00:41:42,032
measure sits down into the cover,
into the count.

744
00:41:42,366 --> 00:41:44,568
[Book] Man, I think the referee was a bit
slow right there on the count,

745
00:41:44,635 --> 00:41:45,469
I really do.

746
00:41:45,536 --> 00:41:46,971
[Vic] Referee was in great position.

747
00:41:47,037 --> 00:41:49,039
It was a hell of a kick-out by McDonagh.

748
00:41:49,106 --> 00:41:52,576
Give credit where credit is due,
it started here for Crews.

749
00:41:52,643 --> 00:41:55,312
He began a roll, and we talk
about combination offense.

750
00:41:55,379 --> 00:41:57,948
Bam, right to the eardrum, boom.

751
00:41:58,649 --> 00:41:59,483
[Book] Wow.

752
00:41:59,817 --> 00:42:03,087
[Vic] Clothesline and then a second
power bomb.

753
00:42:03,153 --> 00:42:04,889
[Book] Referee needs to be right there.

754
00:42:04,955 --> 00:42:06,957
He was a little late with that count,
I really believe that.

755
00:42:07,024 --> 00:42:09,093
I'm not trying to throw him under
the bus or anything like that,

756
00:42:09,159 --> 00:42:12,129
but Vic, you can't be lateon
a situation-- this

757
00:42:12,196 --> 00:42:14,865
is for a championship, man.

758
00:42:15,332 --> 00:42:17,501
[Vic] This is for possibly
a championship opportunity.

759
00:42:17,568 --> 00:42:19,537
As Crews continuing to slug away.

760
00:42:19,603 --> 00:42:21,338
McDonagh trying to get
a little separation.

761
00:42:21,906 --> 00:42:25,009
What a fight, and we talked about
combustible elements between these two.

762
00:42:25,075 --> 00:42:27,311
These two have been wanting to fight.

763
00:42:28,445 --> 00:42:31,549
[Book] I tell you, like I said, McDonagh,
he's earned this position

764
00:42:31,615 --> 00:42:32,917
to be in the ring right now.

765
00:42:32,983 --> 00:42:33,817
[Vic] Oh.

766
00:42:33,884 --> 00:42:34,785
[Book] He's showing up.

767
00:42:34,852 --> 00:42:37,922
He's showing up in every
sense of the word tonight.

768
00:42:38,455 --> 00:42:41,025
This kid, McDonagh,
like I say, he's something

769
00:42:41,091 --> 00:42:44,962
that I call extraordinary, he's special.

770
00:42:45,029 --> 00:42:47,965
[Vic] He's going to have to be extra
special here tonight

771
00:42:48,032 --> 00:42:50,401
because this certainly has been a battle.

772
00:42:50,467 --> 00:42:52,403
What a night it has been on NXT.

773
00:42:52,469 --> 00:42:58,409
Still to come, the last woman standing
match for the NXT women's championship.

774
00:42:58,976 --> 00:42:59,810
[Vic] We said tonight was stacked.

775
00:42:59,877 --> 00:43:00,711
[Book] Yes.

776
00:43:00,778 --> 00:43:02,346
[Vic] We said tonight was fully loaded.

777
00:43:02,413 --> 00:43:04,181
It certainly is and more.

778
00:43:04,615 --> 00:43:07,418
[Book] McDonagh right now still applying
a lot of pressure

779
00:43:07,484 --> 00:43:08,919
and right-- oh, got caught up.

780
00:43:08,986 --> 00:43:10,654
Got caught up right there.

781
00:43:10,721 --> 00:43:12,823
[Vic] Nasty landing for McDonagh,
who somehow, some way,

782
00:43:12,890 --> 00:43:13,958
like a rubber band able to snap back.

783
00:43:14,024 --> 00:43:16,860
There goes Crews,
nasty landing for Apollo.

784
00:43:16,927 --> 00:43:19,263
[Book] It's getting late in this match
right now and I'm going to tell you right

785
00:43:19,330 --> 00:43:22,433
now that the lactic acid
is definitely starting to peel.

786
00:43:22,499 --> 00:43:24,068
Oh, beautiful.

787
00:43:24,134 --> 00:43:26,937
[Vic] You notice McDonagh
didn't get all of the kick onto Crews'

788
00:43:27,004 --> 00:43:30,941
shoulder which is injured
but wasted no time in spring boarding

789
00:43:31,008 --> 00:43:32,443
himself into the asai moonsault.

790
00:43:32,509 --> 00:43:35,446
[Book] This is where McDonagh
is really, really dangerous.

791
00:43:35,512 --> 00:43:38,949
At this point, at this time in the match
when it's late,

792
00:43:39,016 --> 00:43:41,986
when you're wondering who's going
to weather that storm.

793
00:43:42,052 --> 00:43:46,156
This kid has pulled it out every time,
you got to love it.

794
00:43:46,223 --> 00:43:47,825
[Vic] You mentioned the last time
the last two opponents

795
00:43:47,891 --> 00:43:49,760
for McDonagh have landed
in the trainer's room.

796
00:43:49,827 --> 00:43:51,161
Could be looking for a trifecta.

797
00:43:51,228 --> 00:43:54,298
Look at Crews, so quick,
so strong, so powerful.

798
00:43:54,365 --> 00:43:55,199
[Vic] From the top.

799
00:43:55,265 --> 00:43:56,233
[Book] Wow.

800
00:43:56,500 --> 00:43:58,869
Coming from the top floor right there.

801
00:44:01,572 --> 00:44:05,442
[crowd chants "NXT"]

802
00:44:05,509 --> 00:44:09,346
[Vic] NXT universe showing
their love for both.

803
00:44:09,413 --> 00:44:14,918
Book take a look at the launch,
the height, the landing from McDonagh.

804
00:44:15,853 --> 00:44:18,555
Apollo Crews certainly--
these two have each other

805
00:44:18,622 --> 00:44:21,659
so well scouted for everything
they have said to one another.

806
00:44:21,725 --> 00:44:22,593
[Book] Yes, I tell you

807
00:44:22,660 --> 00:44:23,927
[Book] for all the back-and-forths
these two

808
00:44:23,994 --> 00:44:26,330
have had, this has been a battle.

809
00:44:26,397 --> 00:44:28,232
In your word, this has been a fight.

810
00:44:28,298 --> 00:44:29,700
[Book] Been a fight. McDonagh,

811
00:44:30,167 --> 00:44:34,171
Crews, neither one of these guys
are tweeting it in tonight.

812
00:44:34,238 --> 00:44:36,173
This is a fight, man.

813
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:37,775
[Book] Certainly are not.

814
00:44:37,841 --> 00:44:38,709
Seven.

815
00:44:38,776 --> 00:44:39,910
[Vic] At this point, as you mentioned--

816
00:44:39,977 --> 00:44:40,811
eight.

817
00:44:40,878 --> 00:44:42,479
[Vic] Deep down,
it's not really right now about

818
00:44:42,546 --> 00:44:43,447
nine.

819
00:44:43,514 --> 00:44:45,115
[Vic] Skill, it's about
who's going to have more will.

820
00:44:45,182 --> 00:44:46,083
[Book] Who wants it most?

821
00:44:46,150 --> 00:44:47,017
[Vic] Who's going to find that extra gear?

822
00:44:47,084 --> 00:44:48,085
[Book] Oh, wow.

823
00:44:48,152 --> 00:44:49,653
[Vic] Who's going to dig
deep within themselves?

824
00:44:49,720 --> 00:44:50,788
[Book] My god.

825
00:44:50,854 --> 00:44:55,125
Just rang my bell
with that chop from Apollo.

826
00:44:56,393 --> 00:44:59,630
[Vic] Crews answered back perfectly
placed, right underneath the jaw.

827
00:44:59,696 --> 00:45:00,531
McDonagh could be out.

828
00:45:00,597 --> 00:45:02,066
[Book] McDonagh walked right
into that right there.

829
00:45:02,132 --> 00:45:03,167
[Vic] Oh, McDonagh with the knee.

830
00:45:03,233 --> 00:45:05,202
Oh, inside cradle, shoulders down.

831
00:45:05,269 --> 00:45:06,103
[Book] Oh he's got--

832
00:45:06,170 --> 00:45:07,738
-[Vic] Crews now shifts his weight.
-[Book] Wait a minute.

833
00:45:07,805 --> 00:45:08,806
[Vic] Shoulders down again.

834
00:45:08,872 --> 00:45:09,873
[Book] Oh, no.

835
00:45:09,940 --> 00:45:10,774
[Vic] Another near fall.

836
00:45:11,108 --> 00:45:12,409
Referee in great position.

837
00:45:12,476 --> 00:45:15,813
[Book] Rockabye baby. Here we go.

838
00:45:15,879 --> 00:45:17,014
Oh, wow.

839
00:45:17,081 --> 00:45:17,981
[Vic] Spanish fly.

840
00:45:20,017 --> 00:45:21,518
[Book] Didn't I tell you, Vic?

841
00:45:21,585 --> 00:45:22,820
Didn't I tell you?

842
00:45:22,886 --> 00:45:26,990
[Vic] NXT universe beside themselves.
Is this McDonagh's moment?

843
00:45:27,057 --> 00:45:27,925
[Book] We're in the tenth inning.

844
00:45:27,991 --> 00:45:30,194
[crowd chants "JD"]

845
00:45:30,260 --> 00:45:31,295
[Vic] You're right.

846
00:45:31,361 --> 00:45:33,731
We are looking for-- devil inside counter,
Crews connects with the knee.

847
00:45:33,797 --> 00:45:34,631
Headbutt connects.

848
00:45:34,698 --> 00:45:35,532
[Book] Oh, yes.

849
00:45:35,599 --> 00:45:36,567
[Vic] Crews is rocked.

850
00:45:36,633 --> 00:45:39,002
McDonagh trying to capitalize.
Up and down.

851
00:45:39,069 --> 00:45:41,071
Nice counter by Crews.
Again, shoulders are down.

852
00:45:41,605 --> 00:45:44,074
Crews overpowered-- and McDonagh--

853
00:45:44,141 --> 00:45:44,975
[Book] oh, wow.

854
00:45:45,042 --> 00:45:47,377
That's it, he's got the legs locked.

855
00:45:47,444 --> 00:45:49,613
[Vic] Oh, Crews just kicked out.

856
00:45:49,680 --> 00:45:51,815
[Book] I can't believe
Crews kicked out of that.

857
00:45:52,249 --> 00:45:54,651
[Vic] It shows you the type
of athletes, the type of superstars

858
00:45:54,718 --> 00:45:55,886
that are here in NXT.

859
00:45:55,953 --> 00:46:00,190
When we say the future is now,
it certainly is on Tuesday nights.

860
00:46:00,257 --> 00:46:01,625
[crowd chants "this is awesome."]

861
00:46:01,692 --> 00:46:02,659
[Book] Yes, it is.

862
00:46:03,193 --> 00:46:09,867
[crowd chants "this is awesome."]

863
00:46:09,933 --> 00:46:13,403
[Vic] At this juncture,
Book, what's got to be going through

864
00:46:13,470 --> 00:46:15,873
the mind of either
of these two superstars?

865
00:46:16,673 --> 00:46:18,175
[Book] I love my music.

866
00:46:18,242 --> 00:46:22,379
It's about taking it to the limit
just one more time.

867
00:46:22,546 --> 00:46:26,016
You got to love a match up
like this between two--

868
00:46:26,083 --> 00:46:26,984
[Vic] oh,

869
00:46:27,684 --> 00:46:29,052
McDonagh just at the last moment.

870
00:46:29,119 --> 00:46:30,287
[Book] There we go. Oh, wow. Here we go.

871
00:46:30,354 --> 00:46:31,221
[Vic] Cannot wait.

872
00:46:31,288 --> 00:46:32,222
-[Vic] Now McDonagh--
-[Book] here we go.

873
00:46:32,289 --> 00:46:33,457
[Vic] Crews is down one more time.

874
00:46:33,524 --> 00:46:35,492
-[Book] Looking for that--
-[Vic] Crews isn't moving.

875
00:46:35,559 --> 00:46:36,593
McDonagh to the tippy top.

876
00:46:36,660 --> 00:46:39,563
Looking for the moonsault,
able to roll through, nobody home.

877
00:46:39,630 --> 00:46:40,664
Crews right back to his feet.

878
00:46:40,731 --> 00:46:41,598
Pop up and down.

879
00:46:41,665 --> 00:46:43,767
[Book] Oh, wow.

880
00:46:44,134 --> 00:46:45,502
[Vic] Is this going to be enough?

881
00:46:45,569 --> 00:46:48,071
Crews into the cover, and crews

882
00:46:48,138 --> 00:46:49,072
[bell rings]

883
00:46:49,139 --> 00:46:51,575
picks up a huge statement victory on NXT.
[Apollo Crews' music plays]

884
00:46:51,642 --> 00:46:52,743
[Book] Wait a minute. You're kidding me.

885
00:46:52,810 --> 00:46:56,180
[announcer] Here is your winner,
Apollo Crews.

886
00:46:56,246 --> 00:46:58,248
[Book] I did not see that coming.

887
00:46:58,849 --> 00:47:03,187
McDonagh goes down to Apollo.

888
00:47:03,253 --> 00:47:06,690
[Vic] We've said it tonight already,
but again, we must say,

889
00:47:06,757 --> 00:47:10,427
-[Vic] what a match we just witnessed.
-[Book] Fight. What a fight.

890
00:47:10,494 --> 00:47:11,328
Wow.

891
00:47:11,395 --> 00:47:12,729
[Vic] You take a look back at this action.

892
00:47:12,796 --> 00:47:15,299
We said both superstars
were so evenly matched.

893
00:47:15,365 --> 00:47:18,635
McDonagh somehow, some way,
able to pull that Spanish fly

894
00:47:18,702 --> 00:47:19,536
out of nowhere.

895
00:47:19,603 --> 00:47:24,441
Then as he was looking
for that devil inside, tit for tat,

896
00:47:24,508 --> 00:47:27,678
counter for counter,
both trying to get one up on each other.

897
00:47:27,744 --> 00:47:30,581
McDonagh was able to get
one up on Crews, and in this moment,

898
00:47:30,647 --> 00:47:31,582
this split-second moment

899
00:47:31,648 --> 00:47:32,482
[Book] man, that was it.

900
00:47:32,549 --> 00:47:35,118
[Vic] Crews was just able to kick out.

901
00:47:35,185 --> 00:47:37,421
This was the closing
moments of the match up.

902
00:47:37,487 --> 00:47:40,090
McDonagh was able to roll through,
Crews was able to catch

903
00:47:40,157 --> 00:47:44,261
and then plant with some
extra sauce, as you would say, Book,

904
00:47:44,328 --> 00:47:46,697
to put himself in the victory circle.

905
00:47:46,763 --> 00:47:50,868
Maybe, just maybe some
would say that's the biggest win

906
00:47:50,934 --> 00:47:55,205
for Apollo Crews since returning
here to NXT.

907
00:47:59,343 --> 00:48:02,746
Now, locking eyes with the NXT champion.

908
00:48:03,547 --> 00:48:09,620
It was Crews who said tonight, as one
challenge ends, the next one begins.

909
00:48:11,989 --> 00:48:14,691
Mandy Rose, tonight you defend
the NXT women's championship

910
00:48:14,758 --> 00:48:17,694
in a last woman standing
match against Alba Fyre.

911
00:48:17,761 --> 00:48:19,429
Earlier tonight, Alba Fyre
said if it was--

912
00:48:19,496 --> 00:48:21,231
that's right. Thank you, McKenzie.

913
00:48:21,298 --> 00:48:22,766
I heard what alba said, I have ears.

914
00:48:22,966 --> 00:48:26,470
I'm going to need the entire world
to open their ears right now

915
00:48:26,536 --> 00:48:28,372
and listen to what I have to say.

916
00:48:28,906 --> 00:48:33,543
For the last year,
I have heard every prediction in the Book,

917
00:48:33,744 --> 00:48:36,280
"Mandy's not ready,"
"the stage is too big,"

918
00:48:36,513 --> 00:48:38,949
"Mandy can't wrestle, she's outmatched."

919
00:48:39,016 --> 00:48:41,919
Oh, the best one,
"Mandy cant carry this title."

920
00:48:42,419 --> 00:48:46,890
Every flash in the pan,
flavor of the month, one hit wonder,

921
00:48:46,957 --> 00:48:50,627
international ringer,
and every cliche you could think

922
00:48:50,694 --> 00:48:54,765
of that has been thought of and
promoted as the woman to beat me.

923
00:48:55,332 --> 00:49:00,203
Well, here I stand, still
as your NXT women's champion,

924
00:49:00,270 --> 00:49:03,974
and not because you're looking
at a cliche, because you're looking

925
00:49:04,041 --> 00:49:06,944
at a one-in-a-billion superstar.

926
00:49:07,878 --> 00:49:10,013
Listen, I know Alba Fyre's going
to bring it tonight,

927
00:49:10,080 --> 00:49:13,750
but with or without my girls,
this title is staying with me

928
00:49:14,318 --> 00:49:18,355
because after tonight I will be the last
woman standing.

929
00:49:19,623 --> 00:49:20,557
You can get out of here.

930
00:49:24,261 --> 00:49:26,530
[Vic] Looks like a championship match up
still to come, but Book,

931
00:49:26,596 --> 00:49:28,999
you got some business to take care
of because you're going

932
00:49:29,066 --> 00:49:30,367
to be the man in the middle.

933
00:49:30,434 --> 00:49:33,837
It's time for Lee and Hayes to put pen
to paper for their north

934
00:49:33,904 --> 00:49:35,238
American championship match.

935
00:49:35,305 --> 00:49:38,608
These two sign the contract next on NXT.

936
00:49:42,946 --> 00:49:44,881
Javier Bernal, you requested this time.

937
00:49:45,048 --> 00:49:45,882
What's on your mind?

938
00:49:45,949 --> 00:49:47,918
Yes, McKenzie. I've got a lot on my mind.

939
00:49:48,652 --> 00:49:50,620
I realize that I'm the new
kid on the block here,

940
00:49:50,687 --> 00:49:53,290
but I've learned that I shouldn't
just let the opportunities come to me.

941
00:49:53,590 --> 00:49:54,458
No, no, no.

942
00:49:54,524 --> 00:49:55,692
I need to go out and seize them.

943
00:49:55,759 --> 00:49:58,362
Instead of people telling
me who I'm going to be facing,

944
00:49:58,729 --> 00:50:00,464
I'm going to be the one
issuing challenges.

945
00:50:00,530 --> 00:50:01,698
Who did you have in mind?

946
00:50:02,899 --> 00:50:04,034
The guy who I should face.

947
00:50:04,101 --> 00:50:05,502
The guy who's going to
bring out the best of me.

948
00:50:05,569 --> 00:50:06,737
The guy who's going to push me.

949
00:50:07,738 --> 00:50:09,573
Axiom, I think you are
a hell of a competitor.

950
00:50:09,906 --> 00:50:11,074
You are a jam up guy.

951
00:50:11,141 --> 00:50:12,342
You and me one-on-one.

952
00:50:12,409 --> 00:50:14,344
Big body javy versus--
I'm sorry. Did you say axiom?

953
00:50:16,279 --> 00:50:17,114
Yes.

954
00:50:17,347 --> 00:50:19,416
Did you not just see
what JD McDonagh did to axiom?

955
00:50:19,483 --> 00:50:20,851
Axiom's not medically cleared.

956
00:50:21,785 --> 00:50:24,254
Well, who are you to doubt axiom?
He is a professional.

957
00:50:24,321 --> 00:50:26,623
He is a great wrestler.
You can try to cut him short.

958
00:50:26,690 --> 00:50:29,226
No one disagrees with you,
but axiom is hurt.

959
00:50:32,529 --> 00:50:33,864
Okay, fine.

960
00:50:34,131 --> 00:50:37,501
How about former NXT UK
champion Ilja Dragunov?

961
00:50:37,768 --> 00:50:40,771
Big body javy versus the mad russian?
We're going to tear the house down.

962
00:50:40,837 --> 00:50:42,873
We're going to build it right back up.
We're going to tear it down.

963
00:50:42,939 --> 00:50:44,808
Ilja Dragunov is also
not medically cleared.

964
00:50:44,875 --> 00:50:46,209
He's back in Germany rehabbing.

965
00:50:49,079 --> 00:50:52,049
If big body javy
challenged me, I'd go back to Germany too.

966
00:50:52,916 --> 00:50:54,718
Let's get serious.
Let's go rougher and tougher.

967
00:50:55,652 --> 00:50:58,255
How about somebody from gallus.
Gallus boys on top?

968
00:50:58,755 --> 00:50:59,856
We'll see about that.

969
00:50:59,923 --> 00:51:01,525
Let's see how rough and tough
you guys are. Hell,

970
00:51:01,591 --> 00:51:03,427
I'll even let
McKenzie pick one of you guys.

971
00:51:03,493 --> 00:51:04,494
Gallus? The suspended gallus?

972
00:51:04,561 --> 00:51:05,462
They're not available.

973
00:51:05,529 --> 00:51:06,363
Thought you would know that.

974
00:51:09,866 --> 00:51:12,269
You wanna know what I do know? That you

975
00:51:12,335 --> 00:51:13,170
me?

976
00:51:13,236 --> 00:51:14,071
Are part of the problem.

977
00:51:14,137 --> 00:51:14,971
What?

The problem of holding back
the greatest NXT superstar

979
00:51:17,641 --> 00:51:18,975
from unlocking his potential.

980
00:51:19,910 --> 00:51:20,877
That's just not right.

[NXT's music plays]

982
00:51:25,282 --> 00:51:27,451
[Vic] All right now I want to send
it to my broadcast colleague,

983
00:51:27,517 --> 00:51:30,153
the two-time WWE hall of famer, Booker T.

984
00:51:30,220 --> 00:51:32,322
[Book] What up?

985
00:51:34,257 --> 00:51:39,830
Guys, I'm so excited
because next week we have a match

986
00:51:40,197 --> 00:51:44,201
for the NXT north American championship.

987
00:51:44,267 --> 00:51:47,571
At this time, I give you the challenger.

988
00:51:48,338 --> 00:51:52,142
He is flanked by trick Williams.

989
00:51:52,843 --> 00:51:56,746
He's a two-time north American champion.

990
00:51:57,147 --> 00:52:01,118
Give it up to Carmelo Hayes.

[Carmelo Hayes' music plays]

992
00:52:03,286 --> 00:52:07,124
[Vic] Well, something Booker
said former north American champion

993
00:52:07,190 --> 00:52:09,826
because Carmelo Hayes still truly believes

994
00:52:10,460 --> 00:52:13,830
he should be the north American champion,
that he's never been beaten

995
00:52:14,064 --> 00:52:15,398
for the north American title.

996
00:52:15,465 --> 00:52:19,736
In his words, he's never been pinned,
but it also was Carmelo Hayes

997
00:52:20,103 --> 00:52:22,906
who put the title on the line first
in a ladder match

998
00:52:23,340 --> 00:52:27,144
and then didn't retrieve the championship
in the last ladder match that he was in.

999
00:52:27,210 --> 00:52:31,348
The self-prescribed generational
superstar, though, is ready

1000
00:52:31,414 --> 00:52:34,351
and focused to get his title back.

1001
00:52:37,721 --> 00:52:39,990
[Book] Without any further ado,
ladies and gentlemen,

1002
00:52:40,056 --> 00:52:46,997
I give you the NXT north American
champion, Wes Lee.

1003
00:52:47,197 --> 00:52:48,732
[Wes Lee's music plays]

1004
00:52:48,798 --> 00:52:50,367
[Vic] We go back to Carmelo Hayes.

1005
00:52:50,433 --> 00:52:53,803
He believes that Wes Lee
can't call himself the champion until

1006
00:52:53,870 --> 00:52:58,608
he beats what he says is the greatest
north American champion of all time,

1007
00:52:58,875 --> 00:53:00,277
that being himself.

1008
00:53:00,343 --> 00:53:04,881
There is Wes Lee, the cardiac kid, never
one to shy away from a challenge.

1009
00:53:04,948 --> 00:53:07,684
That means Carmelo Hayes,
that means trick Williams,

1010
00:53:07,751 --> 00:53:11,688
that means anyone back
in the NXT locker room.

1011
00:53:11,888 --> 00:53:17,360
Wes Lee is here to show that he is indeed
the man and his time is now.

1012
00:53:17,427 --> 00:53:20,430
[Book] Yes.

1013
00:53:20,497 --> 00:53:21,598
Oh, man.

1014
00:53:21,665 --> 00:53:24,167
I'm excited. I'm excited, guys.

1015
00:53:24,234 --> 00:53:29,172
First, I must say, I'm a fan.
I'm a big fan of both of you guys.

1016
00:53:30,307 --> 00:53:31,241
Hey, Book.

1017
00:53:31,308 --> 00:53:34,110
Before we get to this sucker,
I just want to say one thing.

1018
00:53:34,744 --> 00:53:40,050
From a lower-case g to a big g,
it is an honor to be a part

1019
00:53:40,116 --> 00:53:41,251
of your fave five.

1020
00:53:41,318 --> 00:53:42,185
Appreciate that, dawg.

1021
00:53:42,385 --> 00:53:46,723
It is. Hey, real recognize real.

1022
00:53:48,291 --> 00:53:49,759
I did say that.

1023
00:53:49,826 --> 00:53:54,297
I did do that, but for my thing is this,
no dis to the champ.

1024
00:53:54,364 --> 00:53:55,298
It's all good, Booker.

1025
00:53:55,365 --> 00:53:59,369
I appreciate you for saying that,
but you and Melo have to understand

1026
00:53:59,436 --> 00:54:02,005
that he is no longer the a champion.

1027
00:54:02,606 --> 00:54:07,110
He's the ex-champion,
but Melo can go ahead and try to hold

1028
00:54:07,177 --> 00:54:08,712
onto that little accolade
as much as he wants to.

1029
00:54:08,945 --> 00:54:10,213
It's all good.

1030
00:54:10,280 --> 00:54:11,514
I tell you what, guys.

1031
00:54:11,581 --> 00:54:14,584
I'm so excited about getting
this contract signed,

1032
00:54:14,651 --> 00:54:17,287
but before that I just got
a couple of questions.

1033
00:54:17,621 --> 00:54:22,759
Melo, you are on the precipice
of becoming a three-time

1034
00:54:22,826 --> 00:54:24,160
three-time.

1035
00:54:29,299 --> 00:54:33,169
[Book] Three-time NXT north
American champion next week.

1036
00:54:33,236 --> 00:54:34,104
Your thoughts?

1037
00:54:34,270 --> 00:54:35,171
Listen, I am.

1038
00:54:35,438 --> 00:54:42,078
Listen, Wes, I have no doubt in my mind
that you won't go to your absolute limit

1039
00:54:42,145 --> 00:54:44,748
to retain that north
American championship.

1040
00:54:45,515 --> 00:54:49,052
What you need to understand is that your
absolute limit

1041
00:54:49,119 --> 00:54:52,922
is where I pull up and start from. Okay?

1042
00:54:53,123 --> 00:54:58,728
I am relentless about being
the a champion, and since you just got it,

1043
00:54:58,795 --> 00:55:00,196
you won't understand.

1044
00:55:00,930 --> 00:55:07,070
Next week, this 15 minutes
of sympathy and attention,

1045
00:55:07,137 --> 00:55:12,842
the best time of your life and the worst
time of mine, it's over, Wes.

1046
00:55:13,143 --> 00:55:14,411
It's over.

1047
00:55:15,011 --> 00:55:16,112
Over, Wes.

1048
00:55:16,846 --> 00:55:22,218
It's fair for me to say
that you're feeling real confident.

1049
00:55:22,285 --> 00:55:24,587
Let me tell you something, Booker.
Wes is good.

1050
00:55:24,654 --> 00:55:27,390
He's an athlete,
but he don't got nothing on Melo.

1051
00:55:29,693 --> 00:55:31,428
Ain't no ladder for you to climb
this time, Wes.

1052
00:55:31,494 --> 00:55:34,864
This'll be your first
and your last title defense.

1053
00:55:40,070 --> 00:55:41,237
That's what I was going to say.

1054
00:55:41,304 --> 00:55:43,473
This is your fist title defense.

1055
00:55:43,807 --> 00:55:47,377
It's your first reign
as the NXT north American champion.

1056
00:55:47,444 --> 00:55:52,082
My question is, Wes,
what are you willing to do to make sure

1057
00:55:52,148 --> 00:55:56,653
you walk out and still NXT
north American champion?

1058
00:55:58,722 --> 00:56:03,526
Booker, everyone knows
how hard I worked in order to earn this.

1059
00:56:05,061 --> 00:56:07,731
If you'd have told me a year ago
that I'd be sitting here having

1060
00:56:07,797 --> 00:56:09,799
this conversation with you,
I wouldn't have believed you.

1061
00:56:10,500 --> 00:56:12,368
I took the hand that the universe
dealt me,

1062
00:56:12,602 --> 00:56:15,038
and I played it really, really well.

1063
00:56:15,672 --> 00:56:18,675
I found some inner peace
by knocking trick's ass out.

1064
00:56:20,176 --> 00:56:23,079
Then from the ashes of what I had,
I climbed the ladder

1065
00:56:23,146 --> 00:56:27,851
to become a champion, and next week
I solidify the man that I become.

1066
00:56:28,384 --> 00:56:31,721
I show the whole world
that I'm the new standard

1067
00:56:31,788 --> 00:56:37,026
as the NXT north American champion
and I will risk everything to keep it.

1069
00:56:42,165 --> 00:56:46,069

First, the challenger.

1071

Hey, I prefer future three-time north
American champion, respectfully.

1072
00:56:54,711 --> 00:56:55,712
For real?

1073
00:56:56,446 --> 00:57:00,350
I promise you that attitude
and that arrogance is going

1074
00:57:00,417 --> 00:57:03,720
to be your downfall, dawg.
I can tell you that now.

1075
00:57:04,687 --> 00:57:07,123
Boom. There it is right there.

1076

right now.

into the locker last time?

where I will first 48 you in front

to do a damn thing.

to see the finest NXT got to offer.

The truth is never simple until
I'm sitting across the table.

At that point, you have two choices.

Give me the truth,
or I beat it out of you.

What's up the sweater vest?

it involves my dad.

You see, he was a pastor.

Growing up, he used to wear the best

Even after he passed away
and I was in the attic,

I found so many sweater vests
wrapped in plastic,

1139
01:00:52,949 --> 01:00:54,550
so that's why I rock
this sweater vest, man.

01:02:29,045 --> 01:02:30,913
[Vic] Fowler starting things
off here with Jensen.

1159
01:02:30,980 --> 01:02:34,217
There's also a lot on the mind of Fallon
Henley who's on the outside coming

1160
01:02:34,283 --> 01:02:36,419
to the ring tonight of course
with Briggs and Jensen.

1161
01:02:36,486 --> 01:02:39,288
Does that trickle down to her friends,
to her team?

1162
01:02:39,355 --> 01:02:41,457
[Book] Come on, every coach feels

1163
01:02:41,524 --> 01:02:42,425
[Vic] nice.

1164
01:02:42,492 --> 01:02:44,694
[Book] When the team loses,
you know what I mean?

1165
01:02:44,761 --> 01:02:48,631
Right now the Texans
haven't won but one game all season.

1166
01:02:48,698 --> 01:02:51,067
You don't think the coach is feeling it?

1167
01:02:51,134 --> 01:02:52,502
I'm feeling it.

1168
01:02:52,568 --> 01:02:54,570
[Vic] Into the cover and a quick kick out.

1169
01:02:54,637 --> 01:02:56,239
You bring up the coach.

1170
01:02:56,305 --> 01:03:00,143
She right now behind Briggs and Jensen,
but we take a look at the dyad.

1171
01:03:00,209 --> 01:03:03,146
The tag team division
here in NXT is stacked.

1172
01:03:03,212 --> 01:03:04,046
[Book] It really is.

1173
01:03:04,113 --> 01:03:07,116
You think about the creed
brothers when you think about tag teams.

1174
01:03:07,183 --> 01:03:11,420
You think about blade and Enofeé.
Right now, it is stacked.

1175
01:03:11,487 --> 01:03:14,590
As well as Sanga and veer.

1176
01:03:14,657 --> 01:03:15,558
-[Book] Oh, my god.
-[Vic] Oh, man.

1177
01:03:15,625 --> 01:03:16,993
Talk about game changers.

1178
01:03:17,226 --> 01:03:18,761
Saw them earlier here tonight,
but wait a minute.

1179
01:03:18,828 --> 01:03:19,929
Talk about changing the game.

1180
01:03:19,996 --> 01:03:21,430
I believe a tag was made.

1181
01:03:21,497 --> 01:03:26,135
Jensen dropping Fowler,
and now Briggs just running Fowler over.

1182
01:03:26,402 --> 01:03:27,904
[Book] Last time I saw this big
guy right here

1183
01:03:27,970 --> 01:03:28,805
[Vic] excuse me, Reid.

1184
01:03:28,871 --> 01:03:32,275
[Book] The last time I saw this big guy,
the Internet was buzzing.

1185
01:03:32,341 --> 01:03:34,810
I was talking about a big move
that he did, and somebody said,

1186
01:03:34,877 --> 01:03:38,214
"no, he didn't come up with it.
I invented it."

1187
01:03:38,281 --> 01:03:42,018
Let me tell you something, man.
If you ain't cheating, you ain't trying.

1188
01:03:42,084 --> 01:03:45,821
[Vic] That is basically the backbone
of schism since Ava Raine

1189
01:03:45,888 --> 01:03:47,623
has come into this equation.

1190
01:03:47,924 --> 01:03:49,091
[Book] Oh, yes.

1191
01:03:49,158 --> 01:03:50,159
[Vic] Looking at Reid in the ring.

1192
01:03:50,226 --> 01:03:51,994
Fowler was yelling at me a moment ago.

1193
01:03:52,061 --> 01:03:56,199
This is a scary set of Individuals
when you look at schism.

1194
01:03:56,265 --> 01:03:58,868
What could possibly scare schism?

1195
01:03:58,935 --> 01:04:01,037
They can't be bothered by anybody.

1196
01:04:01,304 --> 01:04:03,539
[Book] Schism is a different
type of team right now.

1197
01:04:03,606 --> 01:04:08,177
I talk about how diabolical
this kid Joe gacy is.

1198
01:04:08,244 --> 01:04:10,646
Actually, let me rephrase that.

1199
01:04:10,713 --> 01:04:17,353
This Individual Joe gacy is and right now
he's in total control of the dyad.

1200
01:04:18,321 --> 01:04:20,990
[Vic] When it comes to the dyad,
they have credited Joe Gacy

1201
01:04:21,057 --> 01:04:24,827
with their rebirth here in NXT,
but we talk about a rebirth.

1202
01:04:24,894 --> 01:04:28,464
How about Jensen and Briggs trying to get
back into their winning ways?

1203
01:04:28,531 --> 01:04:30,533
Really almost some would
say have hit a hurdle.

1204
01:04:30,600 --> 01:04:34,637
They were champions in the UK.
Failed however at worlds collide.

1205
01:04:34,704 --> 01:04:37,340
Right now, big right hand.

1206
01:04:37,406 --> 01:04:38,608
Oh, come on.

1207
01:04:40,042 --> 01:04:41,177
[Book] Oh, my god.

1208
01:04:41,911 --> 01:04:43,079
That was nasty.

1209
01:04:54,423 --> 01:04:55,625
[Vic] Book, you all right?

1210
01:04:55,691 --> 01:05:00,096
Almost into our laps,
and now you just see this diabolical duo

1211
01:05:00,162 --> 01:05:02,531
just taking it to Jensen.

1212
01:05:02,598 --> 01:05:05,301
[Book] I'm thinking about Jensen right
now. That's what I'm thinking about.

1213
01:05:05,635 --> 01:05:06,669
[Vic] That was nasty.

1214
01:05:06,736 --> 01:05:07,637
[Book] That was a hard shot.

1215
01:05:07,703 --> 01:05:12,975
That was very nasty,
and I'm sure Jensen is feeling the full

1216
01:05:13,042 --> 01:05:15,278
effects of that shot right there.

1217
01:05:15,344 --> 01:05:17,713
[Vic] Jensen right now has a long way
to go to make a tag.

1218
01:05:17,780 --> 01:05:18,648
[Book] Still digging.

1219
01:05:18,714 --> 01:05:19,849
[Vic] Gets dropped by Fowler.

1220
01:05:19,915 --> 01:05:22,518
Finally able to reach
out and in comes Briggs.

1221
01:05:22,585 --> 01:05:23,519
Briggs now the powerhouse.

1222
01:05:23,586 --> 01:05:24,887
[Book] That big guy.

1223
01:05:24,954 --> 01:05:25,855
[Vic] The workhorse.

1224
01:05:26,022 --> 01:05:29,292
Just dropping anything that moves,
and now look at Fowler going for the ride.

1225
01:05:29,358 --> 01:05:31,794
Nice innovative back breaker.
Big boot drops Fowler and Reid.

1226
01:05:31,861 --> 01:05:34,797
[Book] That's what we need right there.
Let me tell you right now.

1227
01:05:34,864 --> 01:05:37,033
If this big guy right here
can stay focused on a big victory

1228
01:05:37,266 --> 01:05:42,438
over the dyad, you're talking about
putting yourself in position.

1229
01:05:42,505 --> 01:05:44,140
There it is.

1230
01:05:44,206 --> 01:05:45,841
That's that move I'm talking about.

1231
01:05:46,008 --> 01:05:46,876
Oh, my god.

1232
01:05:47,276 --> 01:05:48,177
It's deadly.

1233
01:05:48,244 --> 01:05:50,813
[Vic] Reid just got ping-ponged.
Fowler back to his feet.

1234
01:05:50,880 --> 01:05:52,148
Fowler gets dropped too.

1235
01:05:53,649 --> 01:05:55,818
Briggs is dropping anything that moves.

1236
01:05:56,319 --> 01:05:57,219
Big splash.

1237
01:05:57,286 --> 01:05:58,354
[Book] There we go.

1238
01:05:58,421 --> 01:06:03,626
That's that country boy
can survive mentality.

1239
01:06:05,127 --> 01:06:06,228
[Vic] It's Kiana James.

1240
01:06:09,098 --> 01:06:10,132
Oh, Henley.

1241
01:06:12,968 --> 01:06:15,137
Back to live action. A tag was made.

1242
01:06:15,204 --> 01:06:16,205
[Book] Distraction.

1243
01:06:16,272 --> 01:06:17,106
[Vic] Briggs doesn't realize it.

1244
01:06:17,173 --> 01:06:18,474
[Book] Distraction.

1245
01:06:18,541 --> 01:06:19,408
Big man got

1246
01:06:19,475 --> 01:06:20,309
[Vic] Reid is legal.

1247
01:06:20,376 --> 01:06:21,210
[Book] Wow.

1248
01:06:21,277 --> 01:06:22,411
[Vic] The dyad drops Briggs.

1249
01:06:22,478 --> 01:06:23,346
[Book] That's it.

1250
01:06:23,412 --> 01:06:25,748
[Vic] Into the cover, and the schism

1251
01:06:25,815 --> 01:06:26,716
[Bell rings]

1252
01:06:26,782 --> 01:06:28,984
steal one tonight.

1253
01:06:29,051 --> 01:06:30,119
[Joe gacy's music plays]

1254
01:06:30,186 --> 01:06:31,554
[announcer] Here are your winners,
the dyads.

1255
01:06:31,620 --> 01:06:32,788
[Book] That's just business, man.
That's just business.

1256
01:06:37,126 --> 01:06:40,096
[Vic] The schism is powerful as ever,
and the dyad tonight

1257
01:06:41,063 --> 01:06:45,368
able to pick up another victory.

1258
01:06:46,068 --> 01:06:48,504
Let's go to some of the action
in this match.

1259
01:06:48,571 --> 01:06:51,474
This was what we talked about.
Really could've been a turning point.

1260
01:06:51,640 --> 01:06:54,043
Kind of took the air out of Jensen.

1261
01:06:54,110 --> 01:06:56,545
Ava Raine stuck her nose
in the business, and then right there.

1262
01:06:56,612 --> 01:06:58,714
Almost into our laps came Reid.

1263
01:06:58,781 --> 01:07:00,383
[Book] That was a hard shot right there.

1264
01:07:00,449 --> 01:07:02,651
[Vic] Kiana James would come down.

1265
01:07:02,718 --> 01:07:05,287
Swing and a miss.
She would pay for what she did.

1266
01:07:05,354 --> 01:07:08,891
Then certainly in this moment,
Jensen had some hard decisions to make.

1267
01:07:08,958 --> 01:07:11,260
He couldn't get back to his feet
to help his partner.

1268
01:07:11,327 --> 01:07:12,762
There was a two-on-one.

1269
01:07:12,828 --> 01:07:16,565
Briggs was taken out,
and just like the dyad has done

1270
01:07:16,632 --> 01:07:21,070
so many times in the past,
conquer, defeat.

1271
01:07:21,237 --> 01:07:25,908
Here once again, the roots
continue to grow stronger

1272
01:07:27,576 --> 01:07:29,612
and stronger for schism.

1273
01:07:35,117 --> 01:07:37,486
We got to move on with the rest
of the night

1274
01:07:37,553 --> 01:07:40,523
because we have been waiting
for this moment.

1275
01:07:40,856 --> 01:07:43,793
Shawn Michaels will issue
the eagerly awaited statement

1276
01:07:43,859 --> 01:07:47,430
regarding what will take
place at NXT deadline.

1277
01:07:47,630 --> 01:07:51,967
We will hear from the heartbreak
kid next on NXT.

1278
01:07:55,905 --> 01:07:57,206
Welcome back to NXT.

1279
01:07:57,273 --> 01:07:59,742
Book, it has been a huge
night since the very beginning

1280
01:07:59,809 --> 01:08:03,345
with the NXT championship match,
but we've been waiting all week

1281
01:08:03,412 --> 01:08:07,082
to hear what Shawn Michaels
has to say as pertains to NXT deadline.

1282
01:08:07,149 --> 01:08:08,851
Our final premium live event of the year.

1283
01:08:08,918 --> 01:08:12,154
Let's not waste any more time.
Here's the two-time WWE hall of famer.

1284
01:08:12,221 --> 01:08:14,790
The one and only Shawn Michaels.

1285
01:08:17,860 --> 01:08:21,163
[Shawn] NXT is a brand focusing
on developing the superstars

1286
01:08:21,230 --> 01:08:24,400
of tomorrow, but also a brand
focused on innovation.

1287
01:08:24,800 --> 01:08:29,071
On Saturday, December 10th
at NXT deadline, we will present

1288
01:08:29,138 --> 01:08:33,142
to you a revolutionary new match never
done before in WWE history,

1289
01:08:33,309 --> 01:08:35,678
the iron survivor challenge.

1290
01:08:35,744 --> 01:08:39,682
There will be two iron
survivor challenges at NXT deadline.

1291
01:08:39,748 --> 01:08:42,251
One for the men and one for the women.

1292
01:08:42,318 --> 01:08:45,888
Five superstars will compete
in this unique 25-minute match.

1293
01:08:45,955 --> 01:08:50,659
They will battle each other and the clock.
Two superstars will start the match.

1294
01:08:50,726 --> 01:08:54,263
Every five minutes,
a new superstar will enter till all

1295
01:08:54,330 --> 01:08:55,464
five are in the ring.

1296
01:08:55,531 --> 01:08:59,668
The goal of the match is to have the most
falls when the clock hits 25 minutes.

1297
01:09:00,369 --> 01:09:05,474
Falls can be won at anytime via pinfall,
submission, or disqualification.

1298
01:09:05,674 --> 01:09:08,744
When a superstar wins a fall,
they will earn one point.

1299
01:09:08,811 --> 01:09:12,882
However, when a superstar loses a fall,
they must pay the penalty.

1300
01:09:13,682 --> 01:09:17,453
They're forced out of the ring and into
the penalty box for 90 seconds.

1301
01:09:17,953 --> 01:09:21,490
Once the 90 seconds are up,
that superstar can reenter the match.

1302
01:09:22,291 --> 01:09:24,760
The superstar who has scored the most
falls when the clock hits

1303
01:09:24,827 --> 01:09:27,930
25 minutes will be named
the iron survivor and become

1304
01:09:27,997 --> 01:09:30,599
the number-one contender
for the NXT championship.

1305
01:09:31,367 --> 01:09:34,670
The superstars competing
in this one-of-a-kind first-time-ever

1306
01:09:34,737 --> 01:09:36,672
match will be announced
in the coming weeks.

1307
01:09:37,206 --> 01:09:41,777
Thank you, and we'll see you Saturday,
December 10th, at NXT deadline.

1308
01:09:43,612 --> 01:09:44,547
[Book] Oh, yes.

1309
01:09:45,014 --> 01:09:48,050
I really like this because you know what?

1310
01:09:48,284 --> 01:09:52,488
Somebody is going to make
history here at deadline.

1311
01:09:52,555 --> 01:09:53,789
You got to love it.

1312
01:09:53,856 --> 01:09:56,559
The history will be made,
and it all takes place

1313
01:09:56,625 --> 01:09:59,595
Saturday, December 10th, NXT deadline.

1314
01:09:59,662 --> 01:10:01,630
[Music]

1315
01:10:04,833 --> 01:10:05,834
[Bell rings]

1316
01:10:05,901 --> 01:10:07,903
[Vic] We can't blink Book
because the action con-- the action

1317
01:10:09,838 --> 01:10:15,211
continuing here on NXT
and it is Hartwell, it is Paxley

1318
01:10:15,277 --> 01:10:17,279
and they just heard the same
announcement we did.

1319
01:10:17,346 --> 01:10:22,351
They want to put their names into possibly
being in that match up at deadline.

1320
01:10:22,418 --> 01:10:27,957
[Book] Definitely Indi Hartwell has been
making a major move as of late,

1321
01:10:28,023 --> 01:10:33,662
she definitely seems to have a different
attitude stepping into this ring tonight.

1322
01:10:33,729 --> 01:10:36,465
Needs a big win tonight just to keep
everything and when I say everything

1323
01:10:36,532 --> 01:10:38,167
I mean everything on track.

1324
01:10:38,233 --> 01:10:39,468
[Crowd chants "Indi"]

1325
01:10:39,535 --> 01:10:41,904
[Vic] A quick cover and Hartwell
able to roll out at one.

1326
01:10:42,237 --> 01:10:45,374
For Paxley she's been working
for months to impress Ivy Nile.

1327
01:10:45,441 --> 01:10:48,744
Of course, Ivy on the outside now working
alongside her more,

1328
01:10:48,811 --> 01:10:51,280
but I want to focus on Hartwell
for a moment because, Book,

1329
01:10:51,347 --> 01:10:53,983
when you arrived at NXT,
you called Hartwell out,

1330
01:10:54,049 --> 01:10:55,851
has she stepped up in your eyes?

1331
01:10:55,918 --> 01:10:56,885
[Book] Oh, [Indistinct]

1332
01:10:56,952 --> 01:10:58,454
The stake right there.

1333
01:10:58,520 --> 01:11:00,255
I know a whole lot about
nasty because she just put herself

1334
01:11:00,322 --> 01:11:03,325
In a position for Hartwell
to just lower the boom.

1335
01:11:03,392 --> 01:11:05,728
Let me tell you something,
I said that about Indi Hartwell

1336
01:11:05,794 --> 01:11:08,430
because Indi needs to hear the truth.

1337
01:11:08,764 --> 01:11:11,000
She needs to know exactly
what this thing is about.

1338
01:11:11,433 --> 01:11:13,702
Indi been here for a while,
and the call up after call up after

1339
01:11:13,769 --> 01:11:16,138
call up you don't hear your name,
you start wondering, man.

1340
01:11:16,205 --> 01:11:18,741
[Vic] The cover, hook of the leg,
and a near fall.

1341
01:11:19,708 --> 01:11:23,212
A win tonight over Paxley she could
inch closer, that being Hartwell,

1342
01:11:23,279 --> 01:11:26,548
to competing in that first-ever
women's iron survivor challenge,

1343
01:11:26,615 --> 01:11:28,917
something I'm sure
she'd love to have a feather

1344
01:11:28,984 --> 01:11:32,788
in her cap would be one win
away from possibly becoming NXT

1345
01:11:32,855 --> 01:11:35,891
women's champion,
but she said she can do it all herself.

1346
01:11:35,958 --> 01:11:39,428
She is betting on herself, and Book,
she has put together quite

1347
01:11:39,495 --> 01:11:40,562
the winning streak.

1348
01:11:40,629 --> 01:11:42,331
[Book] That's the thing,
you got to bet on yourself.

1349
01:11:42,398 --> 01:11:45,868
You got to be real with yourself
at the same time

1350
01:11:45,934 --> 01:11:48,737
and you got to look yourself
in the mirror and say, man

1351
01:11:48,804 --> 01:11:49,638
[Vic] another cover.

1352
01:11:49,705 --> 01:11:52,308
[Book] Am I working as hard
as I need to work?

1353
01:11:52,374 --> 01:11:56,312
That right there I think Indi
has answered those questions

1354
01:11:56,378 --> 01:11:58,313
at least over the last few weeks.

1355
01:11:58,380 --> 01:12:02,851
[Vic] Paxley's still wearing
the protective gear on her face

1356
01:12:02,918 --> 01:12:04,586
after the broken nose
at the end of the summer.

1357
01:12:04,653 --> 01:12:08,390
Recently had surgery on that nose,
but she is still fighting,

1358
01:12:08,457 --> 01:12:10,092
competing, and that's what a lot
of people like about both

1359
01:12:10,159 --> 01:12:11,927
these superstars, they put in the work.

1360
01:12:11,994 --> 01:12:14,697
They're not worried about being flashy,
they're worried about

1361
01:12:14,763 --> 01:12:18,534
results as looking for a win tonight
and another near fall.

1362
01:12:18,600 --> 01:12:20,969
[Book] I'm watching miss Paxley,
I'm trying to see exactly

1363
01:12:21,036 --> 01:12:22,171
what she's all about.

1364
01:12:22,805 --> 01:12:27,076
Normally I give a lot of my students
that five-minute test

1365
01:12:27,142 --> 01:12:32,681
to see exactly what Paxley's made of here
tonight taking on Indi Hartwell.

1366
01:12:32,748 --> 01:12:35,551
[Vic] There you see Nile
there on the outside pacing patiently

1367
01:12:35,617 --> 01:12:38,687
and now this is the moment for Paxley
trying to battle back

1368
01:12:38,754 --> 01:12:42,124
in this match up stringing
together some offense and Hartwell

1369
01:12:42,191 --> 01:12:44,893
has been able to shut the door
at every turn.

1370
01:12:44,960 --> 01:12:46,495
What a rut.

1371
01:12:46,562 --> 01:12:49,131
[Book] Yes, that's what I'm talking
about right there.

1372
01:12:49,198 --> 01:12:51,266
Having that mean streak.

1373
01:12:51,333 --> 01:12:54,403
One thing about Indi Hartwell,
she was always about having

1374
01:12:54,470 --> 01:12:55,971
friends and having buddies.

1375
01:12:56,038 --> 01:13:00,943
I talked to her, I said, "no, no, no,
you cannot have that mentality

1376
01:13:01,009 --> 01:13:02,411
and be champion in this business."

1377
01:13:03,011 --> 01:13:05,681
[Vic] Right now Paxley starting
to fire back, and one more time,

1378
01:13:05,748 --> 01:13:06,648
there is Hartwell.

1379
01:13:07,316 --> 01:13:09,251
Talk about coming in the hard way.

1380
01:13:09,318 --> 01:13:10,586
Oh, nice counter.

1381
01:13:11,120 --> 01:13:14,456
Paxley bringing it to Hartwell
now in this moment.

1382
01:13:14,523 --> 01:13:16,925
Paxley. This is what we talked about,
having to string together some offense,

1383
01:13:17,126 --> 01:13:21,363
put together, gain some momentum
in this match up as Paxley caught

1384
01:13:21,430 --> 01:13:25,100
the eye of Natalya, caught the eye of WWE
hall of famer Beth Phoenix.

1385
01:13:25,167 --> 01:13:27,870
Do you see what they see?
That untapped potential?

1386
01:13:27,936 --> 01:13:28,971
Nice neck breaker.

1387
01:13:29,037 --> 01:13:32,107
[Book] Yes, you got to give it a minute,
I really don't know what that means,

1388
01:13:32,174 --> 01:13:33,675
seeing something in somebody.

1389
01:13:33,742 --> 01:13:36,145
[Vic] Into the cover, hook of both legs,
and a near fall.

1390
01:13:36,211 --> 01:13:39,448
[Book] That could mean she's just
coachable, you know what I mean,

1391
01:13:39,515 --> 01:13:41,450
but my thing is what I look for,
I look for the baddest,

1392
01:13:41,517 --> 01:13:44,386
I look for the footnote, I look
for being able to create that little

1393
01:13:44,453 --> 01:13:47,156
bit of space, let's see if Paxley
can pull that off.

1394
01:13:47,222 --> 01:13:48,090
[Vic] Wait a minute, Hartwell.

1395
01:13:48,824 --> 01:13:52,461
[Book] That's what I'm talking about
being out of position, how good that was.

1396
01:13:52,528 --> 01:13:56,498
[Vic] Just stomping Paxley and now
a message being sent not only

1397
01:13:56,565 --> 01:14:01,570
to her opponent but also to Nile
and inflicting damage.

1398
01:14:01,637 --> 01:14:02,471
[Book] That's it.

1399
01:14:02,538 --> 01:14:05,574
[Vic] No hesitation in the eyes
and Hartwell's winning streak

1400
01:14:05,641 --> 01:14:07,609
continues in NXT. [Bell rings]

1401

[Indi Hartwell's music plays]

1402
01:14:08,577 --> 01:14:09,411
[Book] Look at that look in her eyes.

1403
01:14:09,478 --> 01:14:10,646
[announcer] Here is your winner,
Indi Hartwell.

1404
01:14:11,447 --> 01:14:14,583
[Vic] We talk about that women's iron
survivor challenge coming

1405
01:14:14,650 --> 01:14:16,018
up at NXT deadline.

1406
01:14:16,185 --> 01:14:19,488
You got to think too Hartwell heard
what someone like Zoey

1407
01:14:19,555 --> 01:14:24,159
stark had to say earlier tonight.
Indi Hartwell is focused.

1408

[Music]

1409
01:14:37,973 --> 01:14:41,944
Your cameras couldn't catch me.
I got past your guards with ease.

1410
01:14:42,678 --> 01:14:46,882
Now that I'm here everything after
this will only be a breeze.

1411
01:14:47,149 --> 01:14:50,319
Because I'm fast as lightning,
smarter than you think.

1412
01:14:50,686 --> 01:14:53,655
Moves are incredible you'll miss
it if you blink.

1413
01:14:53,922 --> 01:14:57,726
Next week you will see
that you and I aren't the same.

1414
01:14:57,793 --> 01:15:01,964
So tell me, who's first
to play a little game?

1415
01:15:03,031 --> 01:15:05,634
Sincerely, scrypts.

[music]

1417
01:15:14,576 --> 01:15:18,514
[Vic] The time for talk is over because
it is time for our main event.

1418
01:15:18,580 --> 01:15:21,216
Who will be the last woman standing?

1419
01:15:21,283 --> 01:15:24,186
Whomever that is will
be the NXT women's champion.

1420
01:15:24,253 --> 01:15:27,589
Rose, Fyre, next live on NXT.

1421

[Roxanne] Indi.

1422
01:15:35,564 --> 01:15:36,632
Here we go again.

1423
01:15:36,698 --> 01:15:38,000
What is it this week, Roxanne?

1424
01:15:38,267 --> 01:15:40,936
I just wanted to congratulate
you on your match.

1425
01:15:41,503 --> 01:15:42,404
Thanks.

1426
01:15:42,471 --> 01:15:44,573
Feels good to string a few
w's together, you know?

1427
01:15:46,108 --> 01:15:50,078
Don't you think it was
a little too far taking off Tatum's mask?

1428
01:15:50,445 --> 01:15:51,747
There it is.

1429
01:15:51,813 --> 01:15:54,449
See, it just can't be a congratulations
from little miss. Perfect.

1430
01:15:54,883 --> 01:15:58,420
I'm just saying,
you could have broken her nose again.

1431
01:15:58,620 --> 01:16:01,523
Do you think Tatum
Paxley would care if my nose was broken?

1432
01:16:02,024 --> 01:16:04,526
I'm doing everything I can to get
into that iron survivor

1433
01:16:04,593 --> 01:16:05,694
challenge at deadline.

1434
01:16:05,761 --> 01:16:07,596
I want to be in that match too.

1435
01:16:07,663 --> 01:16:08,797
Everyone does.

1436
01:16:08,864 --> 01:16:11,366
If I need to break someone's nose
to get into that challenge,

1437
01:16:11,433 --> 01:16:12,834
that's exactly what I'll do.

1438

1439

[Vic] Strong words from Indi Hartwell.

1440
01:16:17,706 --> 01:16:20,776
Well, we got to focus on next week
because the ink is dry,

1441
01:16:20,842 --> 01:16:22,878

match next week live here on NXT.

1444
01:16:30,652 --> 01:16:34,656
Also next week, the resonant mean girl
Cora Jade has been

1445
01:16:34,723 --> 01:16:38,393
in rare form lately and she has her
sights set on Wendy Choo,

1446
01:16:38,460 --> 01:16:42,030
but choo has promised to leave
Jade with not one but two black eyes.

1447
01:16:42,097 --> 01:16:45,200
It all goes down next week live on NXT.

1448
01:16:45,267 --> 01:16:49,571
That's next week because,
Book, it is main event time

1449
01:16:49,638 --> 01:16:51,907
here this week on NXT.

1450
01:16:51,974 --> 01:16:53,342

[Vic] Book, I know you said champ,
but we are looking into the eyes

1454
01:17:29,845 --> 01:17:32,681
of the challenger,
who has been a woman of her word.

1455
01:17:32,848 --> 01:17:39,087
Two members are down and there's just
Mandy Rose to de Thorn and the dethrone.

1456
01:17:39,154 --> 01:17:45,560
[Book] Yes, I love Alba Fyre,
she's always ready to go,

1457
01:17:45,627 --> 01:17:50,832
always looking intent and ready
to burn it down tonight.

1458
01:17:50,899 --> 01:17:54,236

how this thing playout

1459

[Book] Hey man, I've been waiting,
anticipating this main event

1465
01:18:26,034 --> 01:18:32,541
tonight because there she goes,
put some respect on her name.

There it is. Mandy Rose.

1467
01:18:35,844 --> 01:18:39,047
[Vic] Is the champion scared
of the challenger heading

1468
01:18:39,114 --> 01:18:40,248
into this sort of match?

1469
01:18:40,315 --> 01:18:41,717

-[Vic] Scared.

-[Book] Scared?
-[Vic] Scared.

1471

[Book] Let me tell you something
Mandy Rose has earned this position,

1472
01:18:46,855 --> 01:18:50,325
she has worked hard to take this position.

1473
01:18:50,392 --> 01:18:56,231
Tonight, it's no different, she has nobody
flaking her, nobody watching her back.

Would you look at the confidence?
This is Mandy Rose, my god, man.

1475
01:19:06,408 --> 01:19:10,779
[Vic] Well, if the champion is scared,
she certainly is not showing it.

1476
01:19:10,846 --> 01:19:11,713
[Book] Yes.

1477

for the NXT women's championship.

1482
01:19:33,468 --> 01:19:39,775
Introducing first the challenger,
Alba Fyre.

1483
01:19:39,841 --> 01:19:43,178
[Crowd cheers]

1484
01:19:43,245 --> 01:19:47,182
Her opponent, representing
toxic attraction,

1485
01:19:47,916 --> 01:19:54,189
she is the NXT's women's champion,

1486
01:19:54,623 --> 01:19:57,559
Mandy Rose.

1487
01:19:59,961 --> 01:20:02,297
Here it is Book. Last woman standing.

1488
01:20:02,364 --> 01:20:05,500
You have to incapacitate
your opponent so they cannot get back

1489
01:20:05,567 --> 01:20:07,402
to their feet by the count of 10.

1490
01:20:07,469 --> 01:20:10,205
You have been in these sort of matches.
Just how dangerous are they?

1491
01:20:10,872 --> 01:20:11,740
[Book] Dangerous. Very, very dangerous.

1492
01:20:11,807 --> 01:20:15,877
You have to stay focused,
laser-focused with a 10 because

1493
01:20:15,944 --> 01:20:17,479
this is the big one right here.

1494
01:20:17,546 --> 01:20:21,716
This is for the NXT women's championship.
[Bell rings]

1495
01:20:21,783 --> 01:20:24,586
[Vic] Going right off the rip
there as Fyre making a beeline--

1496
01:20:24,653 --> 01:20:25,620
I am the champion. I make the rules.

1497
01:20:25,687 --> 01:20:26,555
[Book] For the champion.

1498
01:20:26,621 --> 01:20:29,891
There really are no rules here, Mandy.
Anything goes.

1499
01:20:30,358 --> 01:20:32,460
You just got to knock your opponent down.

1500
01:20:32,527 --> 01:20:33,395
[Book] Almost. So close.

1501
01:20:33,461 --> 01:20:34,696
[Vic] Look at Fyre. Catching that knee.

1502
01:20:34,763 --> 01:20:37,065
Oh, looking possibly
to end it here quickly.

1503
01:20:37,132 --> 01:20:42,504
Rose able to get away very fast as well.
Both these women who do know each other.

1504
01:20:42,571 --> 01:20:49,277
We knew this was going to pick up fast.
Look, the bottom line is Fyre is right.

1505
01:20:50,745 --> 01:20:52,047
[Book] Here we go.

1506
01:20:52,113 --> 01:20:54,816
[Vic] Rose had zero advantage
in this match.

1507
01:20:54,883 --> 01:20:55,717
I'm getting the hell out of the way.

1508
01:20:55,784 --> 01:20:56,618
[Book] Better move.

1509
01:20:56,685 --> 01:20:58,520
[Vic] She has zero advantage
in this match up.

1510
01:20:58,587 --> 01:20:59,888
There's no numbers.

1511
01:20:59,955 --> 01:21:04,559
She can't cut corners, and she might get
face planted and Rose just able.

1512
01:21:04,626 --> 01:21:07,329
[Book] What's different about Alba Fyre,
it's all about going out

1513
01:21:07,395 --> 01:21:08,663
and taking care of business.

1514
01:21:08,730 --> 01:21:12,167
Alba who's a little
different than most, Vic.

1515
01:21:12,767 --> 01:21:13,869
[Vic] A little different?

1516
01:21:15,470 --> 01:21:18,874
Fyre right now taking it to Rose,
and this is some pent-up

1517
01:21:18,940 --> 01:21:20,942
frustration in Alba Fyre, Book.

1518
01:21:21,009 --> 01:21:23,645
We've seen this for several weeks,
if not months.

1519
01:21:23,712 --> 01:21:25,013
Think about Halloween havoc.

1520
01:21:25,080 --> 01:21:28,083
The hell that Fyre put Rose through,

1521
01:21:29,618 --> 01:21:31,286
and it didn't take long

1522
01:21:31,486 --> 01:21:33,355
for Fyre to find some toys.

1523
01:21:33,421 --> 01:21:34,656
[Book] Let me tell you something, Vic.

1524
01:21:34,723 --> 01:21:37,692
Right now, we always
talking about business,

1525
01:21:37,759 --> 01:21:42,864
but this right here with Alba Fyre,
this is personal with Mandy Rose.

1526
01:21:44,699 --> 01:21:46,167
Oh, here we go.

1527
01:21:46,668 --> 01:21:47,802
[Vic] It didn't take long.

1528
01:21:47,869 --> 01:21:50,939
Fyre who dove deep into her heritage
to re-spark her flame

1529
01:21:51,006 --> 01:21:54,910
is looking to extinguish
Mandy Rose in her reign here tonight.

1530
01:21:54,976 --> 01:21:59,881
[Book] Mandy, nice reversal.
Nice reversal by Mandy Rose.

1531
01:21:59,948 --> 01:22:01,549
[Vic] Spine first on the chair.

1532
01:22:01,616 --> 01:22:03,919
Now you can see the official
starting his count.

1533
01:22:03,985 --> 01:22:05,854
Can he get to the count of 10?

1534
01:22:05,920 --> 01:22:09,291
If he does and Fyre's not
back to her feet, Rose will retain

1535
01:22:09,357 --> 01:22:12,460
the NXT women's title,
but look at Alba Fyre right back

1536
01:22:12,527 --> 01:22:15,030
to her feet and continuing this fight.

1537
01:22:15,096 --> 01:22:19,267
[Book] It's about winning here.
It's about winning by any means necessary.

1538
01:22:19,334 --> 01:22:21,303
That's what Mandy's going to have to do.

1539
01:22:21,369 --> 01:22:24,239
She's going to have to let
it all hang out against alba.

1540
01:22:25,340 --> 01:22:29,644
[Vic] Looking for kiss by Rose, instead
kiss right off the solid steel chair.

1541
01:22:30,345 --> 01:22:33,682
Now, look what is in the hand
of Alba Fyre.

1542
01:22:34,883 --> 01:22:38,620
Fyre now trying to bend,
trying to break, trying to snap

1543
01:22:38,687 --> 01:22:39,587
the ligaments of the knee

1544
01:22:39,654 --> 01:22:40,789
[Book] Trying to hyperextend that knee.

1545
01:22:40,855 --> 01:22:42,190
of the women's champ.

1546
01:22:42,257 --> 01:22:44,659
[Vic] Book, if she can't get
back to her feet, if she can't stand,

1547
01:22:44,726 --> 01:22:46,795
-[Vic] then we'll have a new champion.
-[Book] Mandy needs to move.

1548
01:22:48,697 --> 01:22:52,500
[Vic] This NXT women's last
woman standing match continues.

1549
01:22:55,503 --> 01:22:58,406
Mandy Rose has been relentless throughout
the commercial break

1550
01:22:58,473 --> 01:23:02,677
in this last woman standing match
for the NXT women's championship.

1551
01:23:02,744 --> 01:23:05,246
The only way to win it is incapacitate
your opponent

1552
01:23:05,313 --> 01:23:07,983
so they cannot get back to
their feet by the count of 10.

1553
01:23:08,049 --> 01:23:12,187
Fyre looked to have a solid strategy,
attacking the left knee of Mandy Rose,

1554
01:23:12,253 --> 01:23:14,155
but the champion has battled back

1555
01:23:14,222 --> 01:23:17,258
in this match up and really
has taken it to Fyre.

1556
01:23:17,325 --> 01:23:20,328
Until these last moments
where Fyre now starting

1557
01:23:20,395 --> 01:23:23,498
to pick up some momentum in this match up.
Trying to turn things around.

1558
01:23:23,565 --> 01:23:28,336
Looking for-- I thought it was a suplex,
instead planted the champion face first.

1559
01:23:28,403 --> 01:23:30,238
[Book] Yes, indeed.

1560
01:23:30,305 --> 01:23:33,041
Alba Fyre has mounted a comeback
because during the break right there,

1561
01:23:33,108 --> 01:23:37,645
Mandy Rose was in total control,
but right now it looks

1562
01:23:37,712 --> 01:23:39,180
to be an even match up.

1563
01:23:39,247 --> 01:23:42,650
[Vic] Looking for a little
tornado ddt and Fyre connects.

1564
01:23:42,717 --> 01:23:46,221
For Rose, luckily,
she wasn't another few inches over,

1565
01:23:46,287 --> 01:23:48,857
she would've been going right
into that trash can and Rose

1566
01:23:48,923 --> 01:23:50,692
doesn't have the numbers
advantage tonight.

1567
01:23:50,759 --> 01:23:54,629
There's no Gigi.
There's no Jayce, but there is Alba Fyre.

1568
01:23:54,696 --> 01:23:55,764
[Book] Oh, no. My god.

1569
01:23:59,801 --> 01:24:02,036
[Vic] You got to be willing
to destroy yourself to destroy

1570
01:24:02,103 --> 01:24:07,242
your opponent in this atmosphere.
As the official now starting his count.

1571
01:24:07,308 --> 01:24:09,544
Four.

1572
01:24:09,611 --> 01:24:10,745
[Crowd chants "NXT"]

1573
01:24:10,812 --> 01:24:13,448
[Vic] Rose just starting to move.
The referee now is at six.

1574
01:24:13,515 --> 01:24:14,449
Fyre is up.

1575
01:24:14,516 --> 01:24:16,684
If Rose doesn't get to her feet
by the count of 10,

1576
01:24:16,751 --> 01:24:18,686
we're going to have a new
NXT women's champion.

1577
01:24:18,753 --> 01:24:19,954
[Book] That's what's different.

1578
01:24:20,021 --> 01:24:23,858
That what's so different
about Alba Fyre right there.

1579
01:24:23,925 --> 01:24:28,797
Taking a caution to the wind.
That's what she's all about.

1580
01:24:28,863 --> 01:24:29,798
[Vic] Watch out, Book.

1581
01:24:30,432 --> 01:24:31,699
[Book] Oh, no.

1582
01:24:35,236 --> 01:24:37,739
[Vic] I looked over to my right
to see Mandy Rose's face.

1583
01:24:37,806 --> 01:24:41,009
There is a look of desperation
on the champion.

1584
01:24:41,643 --> 01:24:45,580
Is tonight the night the flame
of Rose gets put out?

1585
01:24:49,451 --> 01:24:52,087
Anything goes. Everything is legal.

1586
01:24:52,153 --> 01:24:55,623
Look, Rose has heard the buzz.
Read the news, she's seen the prediction.

1587
01:24:55,690 --> 01:24:57,425
She's not a cliche.

1588
01:24:57,492 --> 01:24:58,526
[Book] So close.

1589
01:24:58,593 --> 01:25:01,596
[Book] I'm not so sure that the ladder
didn't come down

1590
01:25:01,663 --> 01:25:06,434
on the elbow and hand of Fyre,
but it's all legal.

1591
01:25:06,501 --> 01:25:07,368
[Book] Wow.

1592
01:25:08,069 --> 01:25:12,373
That's the killer instinct
that Mandy Rose knowing exactly

1593
01:25:12,440 --> 01:25:13,842
what this is all about.

1594
01:25:13,908 --> 01:25:17,312
This is about checks
and championships, man.

1595
01:25:17,378 --> 01:25:19,914
This is about being the best, the legacy.

1596
01:25:22,851 --> 01:25:26,921
[Vic] NXT universe is split,
but take a look how close and again,

1597
01:25:27,489 --> 01:25:31,059
even with the replay,
I still couldn't tell if Fyre's hands

1598
01:25:31,126 --> 01:25:32,160
didn't get pinched.

1599
01:25:32,494 --> 01:25:35,763
If her arm and her elbow
didn't hyperextend to your point.

1600
01:25:36,231 --> 01:25:39,767
Referee up to seven, though.
Referee's at eight.

1601
01:25:40,435 --> 01:25:43,238
-[Vic] Fyre is pulling herself her feet.
-[Book] What a night.

1602
01:25:43,304 --> 01:25:44,706
What a fight, Vic.

1603
01:25:44,772 --> 01:25:46,007
[Vic] We've been saying
that all night long.

1604
01:25:46,074 --> 01:25:49,210
This has been a fully
loaded night here on NXT.

1605
01:25:49,277 --> 01:25:51,713
This the second championship
match tonight.

1606
01:25:51,779 --> 01:25:56,084
Huge announcement from Shawn Michaels,
contract signing for next week.

1607
01:25:56,151 --> 01:25:59,487
NXT brings it to you, and as we said,
you don't want to blink an eye.

1608
01:25:59,554 --> 01:26:02,757
Expect the unexpected as Rose
continuing to apply

1609
01:26:02,824 --> 01:26:06,194
the offensive pressure to once again
silenced the doubters.

1610
01:26:06,261 --> 01:26:10,231
It was Rose who called herself
a one-in-a-billion superstar.

1611
01:26:10,298 --> 01:26:11,366
[Book] Whoa. Wait a minute.

1612
01:26:11,432 --> 01:26:13,234
I think that knee just
buckled right there.

1613
01:26:13,301 --> 01:26:14,802
Maybe Rose's knee just buckled.

1614
01:26:14,869 --> 01:26:16,304
Oh, no.

1615
01:26:16,371 --> 01:26:19,474
[Vic] Rose then planted.
You said the knee buckled.

1616
01:26:19,541 --> 01:26:23,011
That's important because Rose
has to get back to both feet.

1617
01:26:23,077 --> 01:26:26,014
Has to get back to a vertical base
to break the count

1618
01:26:26,080 --> 01:26:27,749
as the referee has started.

1619
01:26:27,815 --> 01:26:29,417
The referee now is at three.

1620
01:26:29,484 --> 01:26:31,052
[Book] I don't know. I saw something.

1621
01:26:31,119 --> 01:26:32,854
That right knee definitely buckled.

1622
01:26:32,921 --> 01:26:34,155
[Vic] Fyre's up.

1623
01:26:34,222 --> 01:26:35,256
[Book] Mandy has been [Indistinct]

1624
01:26:35,723 --> 01:26:36,658
[Vic] Referee at seven.

1625
01:26:37,258 --> 01:26:42,230
Referee continuing the count.
Fyre two seconds away. Is she up?

1626
01:26:42,297 --> 01:26:44,499
Did the referee count
that as Rose being up?

1627
01:26:44,566 --> 01:26:45,633
He did.

1628
01:26:45,700 --> 01:26:48,536
The referee counted it as Rose getting
back up and certainly,

1629
01:26:48,603 --> 01:26:50,305
Fyre just got put down.

1630
01:26:50,872 --> 01:26:51,739
[Book] Wow.

1631
01:26:52,040 --> 01:26:55,977
Mandy is still in the fight.
She's still in this thing.

1632
01:26:56,244 --> 01:26:59,180
Man, what a contest.

1633
01:26:59,247 --> 01:27:01,616
[Vic] We talk about the knee,
how about the ankle now of Alba Fyre?

1634
01:27:03,084 --> 01:27:06,254
Both of these competitors
feeling it in this moment.

1635
01:27:10,692 --> 01:27:11,626
[Book] Wow.

1636
01:27:16,331 --> 01:27:17,298
[Vic] We said it.

1637
01:27:17,365 --> 01:27:18,833
Expect the unexpected, Book.

1638
01:27:19,367 --> 01:27:23,037
That's what this NXT women's title
means to both these women.

1639
01:27:23,104 --> 01:27:26,007
Like or hate Mandy Rose,
you got to put respect on her name,

1640
01:27:26,074 --> 01:27:29,544
but Fyre now looking to do what no one
else has been able to do.

1641
01:27:29,611 --> 01:27:30,445
[Book] Oh, no.

1642
01:27:30,511 --> 01:27:34,215
I don't like that.
I don't like the looks of this.

1643
01:27:36,384 --> 01:27:37,685
[Vic] Evil intentions

1644
01:27:44,525 --> 01:27:47,462
and referee again
with the count. Rose is up.

1645
01:27:47,695 --> 01:27:52,467
Fyre, though, has to snap
back into it because that was a hard

1646
01:27:52,533 --> 01:27:56,571
nasty landing as the official's at six.
Rose is smiling.

1647
01:27:56,638 --> 01:27:58,206
Rose thinks this match is in the bank.

1648
01:27:58,273 --> 01:27:59,641
[Book] She's enjoying this.

1649
01:27:59,707 --> 01:28:00,675
Mandy Rose is actually--

1650
01:28:00,742 --> 01:28:01,576
[Vic] nine.

1651
01:28:01,643 --> 01:28:02,510
No. No. No.

1652
01:28:02,577 --> 01:28:05,246
Just got up. Just got up did Fyre.

1653
01:28:05,913 --> 01:28:10,084
Breaking the count barely
and then right under the jaw.

1654
01:28:10,251 --> 01:28:13,488
Point precision. Picture perfect.

1655
01:28:13,554 --> 01:28:14,689
[Book] Perfect. Right on the chin.

1656
01:28:14,756 --> 01:28:16,691
Right on the chin. Kill shot.

1657
01:28:19,193 --> 01:28:22,297
[Vic] Well, if the super kick
didn't do it that gory bomb

1658
01:28:22,363 --> 01:28:23,831
into the apron might have.

1659
01:28:23,898 --> 01:28:30,038
Two. Three. Four.

1660
01:28:30,638 --> 01:28:31,939
[Vic] This indeed is.

1661
01:28:32,006 --> 01:28:33,841
This is for the NXT women's title.

1662
01:28:34,475 --> 01:28:38,379
It's a last woman standing
match and now numbers advantage

1663
01:28:38,446 --> 01:28:42,750
in favor of Fyre with the old
trusty faithful baseball bat.

1664
01:28:42,817 --> 01:28:44,952
[Book] Talking about the equalizer.

1665
01:28:45,019 --> 01:28:50,191
Right now Alba Fyre is in total
control of this match up.

1666
01:28:50,391 --> 01:28:51,659
[Vic] We're about to be in deep trouble.
Book, they're setting up a ladder.

1667
01:28:51,726 --> 01:28:52,593
Get out of here.

1668
01:28:59,067 --> 01:29:02,603
We talk about evil intentions running
through the mind of both

1669
01:29:02,670 --> 01:29:04,672
champion and challenger.

1670
01:29:04,839 --> 01:29:06,240
This could be it.

1671
01:29:07,575 --> 01:29:13,948
Fyre going a little bit
higher looking to lay out Rose.

1672
01:29:14,615 --> 01:29:16,351
This could be-- Isla dawn.

1673
01:29:16,417 --> 01:29:17,251
[Book] Whoa.

1674
01:29:24,826 --> 01:29:30,698
One. Two. Three.

1675
01:29:30,765 --> 01:29:32,166
[Vic] Referee's at four.

1676
01:29:32,233 --> 01:29:33,067
Four.

1677
01:29:33,534 --> 01:29:34,535
[Book] What the?

1678
01:29:34,602 --> 01:29:37,939
[Referee] Five. Six.

1679
01:29:38,005 --> 01:29:39,040
[Vic] Referee's at six.

1680
01:29:39,307 --> 01:29:42,076
Both superstars not to their feet.
Fyre barely moving.

1681
01:29:42,443 --> 01:29:43,444
Rose pulling herself up.

1682
01:29:43,945 --> 01:29:45,179
Referee's at nine.

1683
01:29:46,013 --> 01:29:49,283
Referee-- Rose got back to her feet
[bell rings]

1684
01:29:49,350 --> 01:29:50,451
in the Nick of time.

1685
01:29:50,518 --> 01:29:52,153
[Toxic attraction's music plays]

1686
01:29:52,220 --> 01:29:55,189
[announcer] Here is your winner and still

1687
01:29:55,256 --> 01:30:00,461
the NXT women's champion, Mandy Rose.

1688
01:30:00,928 --> 01:30:07,301
[Vic] Book, I'm almost
speechless after what we just saw,

1689
01:30:07,368 --> 01:30:10,071
after what we just witnessed.

1690
01:30:12,006 --> 01:30:14,342
Going back to some of the action.

1691
01:30:14,542 --> 01:30:18,379
Mandy Rose, bam, gets dropped
with that super kick,

1692
01:30:18,446 --> 01:30:21,516
but both women would continue
to answer the count.

1693
01:30:21,582 --> 01:30:24,152
Here, Alba Fyre looking for the end.

1694
01:30:24,218 --> 01:30:31,192
Isla Dawn out of nowhere with the mist,
blinding, burning the eyes of Alba Fyre

1695
01:30:31,392 --> 01:30:34,996
where they crashed and burned
through our announce desk.

1696
01:30:35,663 --> 01:30:41,402
Right here, in the Nick of time,
at nine and three-fourths able

1697
01:30:41,469 --> 01:30:43,571
to get back to her feet.

1698
01:30:43,871 --> 01:30:49,911
Mandy Rose victorious,
but NXT UK's Isla dawn, the modern-day

1699
01:30:49,977 --> 01:30:51,979
witch, has arrived.

1700
01:30:52,146 --> 01:30:56,951
Once again, Mandy comes
out smelling like roses,

1701
01:30:57,018 --> 01:31:03,057
as Rose remains champion
in the last woman standing.

1702
01:31:17,505 --> 01:31:18,973
Subtitles: Aadesh Surana
in the last woman standing.
