-Oh, yes.

[Vic] No doubt, Von Wagner
will have the strength advantage,

29
00:01:34,694 --> 00:01:36,362
Axiom will have the speed advantage,

30
00:01:36,429 --> 00:01:38,832
and this superstar, some would say,

31
00:01:38,898 --> 00:01:40,500
would have the IQ advantage,

[Vic] Here's Andre. He's got some
extra motivation as we just saw.

Look at the Hall of Fame panel
who spoke last week.

57

They're getting an opportunity
to prove themselves.

59
00:02:47,467 --> 00:02:49,002
In your opinion,

60
00:02:49,068 --> 00:02:52,338
who will earn that final spot?

61
00:02:52,405 --> 00:02:54,474
[Booker] You're asking the wrong question.

62
00:02:54,541 --> 00:02:56,776
It's about who needs this most,

63
00:02:56,843 --> 00:02:59,312
and I look at this kid Von Wagner.

64
00:02:59,379 --> 00:03:00,413
He's a monster.

65
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:02,549

68
00:03:08,121 --> 00:03:10,190

This man right here, he's got something.

71
00:03:14,294 --> 00:03:15,461
He's got something.

72
00:03:15,528 --> 00:03:19,065

is he gonna reach his full potential.

[Vic] Von Wagner believes

74
00:03:20,767 --> 00:03:24,037
he should've already
been selected to compete

in the Iron Survivor Challenge
match this Saturday and now,

76
00:03:27,674 --> 00:03:31,244

both competitors at the same time.

78
00:03:33,346 --> 00:03:35,882

79
00:03:35,949 --> 00:03:39,118

with the right backing,

81
00:03:40,920 --> 00:03:43,723
and I put a question mark there
as far as the right backing

82
00:03:43,790 --> 00:03:46,593
because it's this man
right here, Mr. Stone--

83
00:03:46,659 --> 00:03:47,894
Exactly my point.

84
00:03:47,961 --> 00:03:50,863
I mean, I understand
what he's trying to do,

85
00:03:50,930 --> 00:03:53,499
but it's supposed to be under the jacket.

86
00:03:53,566 --> 00:03:55,468
[Vic] You can talk to him afterwards,

87
00:03:55,535 --> 00:03:58,338
right now, Von Wagner
is in the driver's seat,

88
00:03:58,404 --> 00:04:00,373
in control of this match.

89
00:04:00,440 --> 00:04:03,142

extra motivation, so does Wagner.

90
00:04:03,209 --> 00:04:05,511

No stranger to the powerful Von Wagner

92
00:04:08,615 --> 00:04:10,083
is Andre Chase. Chase though.

93
00:04:10,149 --> 00:04:14,020
[Booker] Andre Chase,
he is a student of the game.

94
00:04:14,087 --> 00:04:17,290
[Vic] Look at this. Axiom and Chase
finally working together.

95
00:04:17,357 --> 00:04:19,959
It's almost addition by subtraction.

96
00:04:20,026 --> 00:04:22,695
Look at Axiom go. He was on X-Pac's list

97
00:04:22,762 --> 00:04:25,665

in Saturday's match.

98

100
00:04:28,635 --> 00:04:32,071
I'm not a big fan of going out here

101
00:04:32,138 --> 00:04:33,373
and working together.

102
00:04:33,439 --> 00:04:35,708
This right here is what we call a plan.

103
00:04:35,775 --> 00:04:39,879
I don't like that. Normally,
I'm working for three things. You know?

104
00:04:39,946 --> 00:04:42,115
[Vic] I don't know, but I do know Chase's

105
00:04:42,181 --> 00:04:43,616
one step ahead, near fall.

106
00:04:43,683 --> 00:04:45,952
[Booker] It's me, me, me.

107
00:04:46,019 --> 00:04:47,620
The shortest poem ever.

108
00:04:47,687 --> 00:04:49,789
[Vic] For Chase, he has a huge opportunity

109
00:04:49,856 --> 00:04:52,058
to put Chase U on the map.

110
00:04:52,125 --> 00:04:55,061
They're all about me too,
they know what's at stake.

111
00:04:55,128 --> 00:04:56,963

the number one contender

112

113
00:04:59,032 --> 00:05:01,100
which is currently held by Bron Breakker.

114
00:05:01,167 --> 00:05:03,169
[Booker] Yes, indeed. Speaking of Bron--

115
00:05:03,236 --> 00:05:05,505
[Vic] Nice submission. Hold that thought.

116
00:05:05,571 --> 00:05:07,707
Axiom trying to snap, crackle, and pop,

117
00:05:07,774 --> 00:05:08,775
but Von coming in.

118
00:05:08,841 --> 00:05:10,643
There's that power, that strength.

119
00:05:12,278 --> 00:05:14,781
Von Wagner no remorse
when he's in the ring.

120
00:05:14,847 --> 00:05:17,517
[Booker] No, no.
You talk about Bron Breakker,

121
00:05:17,583 --> 00:05:20,153
you gotta speak
about this man, Von Wagner.

122
00:05:20,219 --> 00:05:23,523
So close to becoming champion,
but lost focus.

123
00:05:23,589 --> 00:05:25,224
And that little bit of momentum,

124
00:05:25,291 --> 00:05:27,260
that window opened just for a second,

125
00:05:27,327 --> 00:05:28,961
and it was over, man.

126
00:05:29,028 --> 00:05:30,697

00:05:30,763 --> 00:05:32,298
has his huge championship match

128
00:05:32,365 --> 00:05:34,167
this Saturday, against Apollo Crews.

129
00:05:34,233 --> 00:05:36,402
A lot on his mind. He's admitted as such.

130
00:05:36,469 --> 00:05:38,204
Have you had to defend the championship

131
00:05:38,271 --> 00:05:41,107
against someone that you actually
have mutual respect for?

132
00:05:41,174 --> 00:05:44,577
[Booker] Of course.
That's just part of the game.

133
00:05:44,644 --> 00:05:48,047
You're gonna find yourself
in that position sooner or later,

134
00:05:48,114 --> 00:05:50,483
but it's all about checks, man.

135
00:05:50,550 --> 00:05:53,386
It's all about championship
like these three men here.

136
00:05:53,453 --> 00:05:57,357
They want to achieve that ultimate glory.

-[Vic] Nice.
-[Booker] Beautiful.

139

140
00:06:02,328 --> 00:06:04,030
Oh, standing moonsault.

141
00:06:04,097 --> 00:06:05,465
Got enough of it.

142
00:06:05,531 --> 00:06:08,568
Into the cover, but Chase
able to power out at two.

143
00:06:08,634 --> 00:06:10,903
Again, you're just one
pinfall or submission,

144
00:06:10,970 --> 00:06:14,741
three seconds away from earning
that final spot at NXT Deadline.

145
00:06:14,807 --> 00:06:17,477
How innovative is
the Iron Survivor Challenge?

146
00:06:17,543 --> 00:06:20,113
[Booker] The innovator
for all the match like that,

147
00:06:20,179 --> 00:06:23,316
I think about the legends,
the gods, the Eddie Grahams,

148
00:06:23,383 --> 00:06:25,251
the Dustys, the Paul Boeschs,

149
00:06:25,318 --> 00:06:27,186
as well as the Vince McMahons.

150
00:06:27,253 --> 00:06:29,055
Always thinking about the future.

151
00:06:29,122 --> 00:06:31,524
Always thinking about the next.

152
00:06:31,591 --> 00:06:33,559
These superstars. You gotta love it.

153
00:06:33,626 --> 00:06:36,062
[Vic] What is on Wagner's mind?

154
00:06:36,129 --> 00:06:38,331
We talk about him having
the power advantage,

155
00:06:38,397 --> 00:06:40,633
but he is just launching Axiom.

156
00:06:40,700 --> 00:06:41,801
Wiping out the field.

157
00:06:44,570 --> 00:06:46,406
Who's heading to NXT Deadline?

158
00:06:50,610 --> 00:06:51,677
Back live on NXT.

159
00:06:51,744 --> 00:06:53,813
This is the wildcard triple threat match.

160
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:55,648
The winner will enter the field.

161
00:06:55,715 --> 00:06:57,617
The final spot of five

162
00:06:57,683 --> 00:07:01,254
in Saturday's NXT Deadline's
Iron Survivor match

163
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:03,890
to become the new number one contender

164
00:07:03,956 --> 00:07:05,525
for the NXT championship.

165
00:07:05,591 --> 00:07:07,760
Andre Chase looking to go for broke,

166
00:07:07,827 --> 00:07:09,996
but can he put over Wagner?

167
00:07:10,062 --> 00:07:12,799
[Booker] Not strong enough.
Not with this big man.

168
00:07:12,865 --> 00:07:14,567
Wow.

169
00:07:14,634 --> 00:07:16,335
[Vic] A little help from Axiom.

170
00:07:16,402 --> 00:07:19,272
Chase could've just changed
the complexion of this match up,

171
00:07:19,338 --> 00:07:20,840
and Chase is focused.

172
00:07:20,907 --> 00:07:23,476
He is ready to punch his ticket.

173
00:07:23,543 --> 00:07:24,911
[audience] Chase U!

174

on their feet.

175
00:07:27,847 --> 00:07:30,049
[Booker] Talk about somebody
that needs the victory.

176
00:07:30,116 --> 00:07:32,118
Chase needs a victory right under him.

177
00:07:32,185 --> 00:07:34,287
-[Vic] Wow!
-[Booker] Wow!

178
00:07:34,353 --> 00:07:36,455
[Booker] Just took out the big guy.

179
00:07:36,522 --> 00:07:39,392
[Vic] All three men are down, this is why

180
00:07:40,526 --> 00:07:41,861
the Hall of Fame panel

181
00:07:41,928 --> 00:07:44,397
had such a tough time choosing the five.

182
00:07:44,464 --> 00:07:46,232
It was an overall body of work.

183
00:07:46,299 --> 00:07:48,034
These three were on the bubble,

184
00:07:48,100 --> 00:07:50,770
and these three are showing you
just why they deserve

185
00:07:50,837 --> 00:07:52,071
to be in the spotlight

186
00:07:52,138 --> 00:07:55,074
on the final premium live event of 2022.

187
00:07:55,141 --> 00:07:57,343
[Booker] Found a situation
to put these athletes in

188
00:07:57,410 --> 00:07:59,178
to see who wants it most.

189
00:07:59,245 --> 00:08:02,148
Who's gonna go out there and take it, Vic?

190
00:08:02,215 --> 00:08:03,549
[Vic] Also, still to come,

191
00:08:03,616 --> 00:08:06,352

wildcard triple threat match

192
00:08:06,419 --> 00:08:07,253
for the winner.

193
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:11,023
The winner will advance also
to NXT Deadline this Saturday

194
00:08:11,090 --> 00:08:13,025
to try to become the number one contender

195
00:08:13,092 --> 00:08:15,828
to Mandy Rose's NXT Women's Championship.

196
00:08:15,895 --> 00:08:17,797
Wagner, swing and a miss. Oh!

197
00:08:17,864 --> 00:08:19,065
[Booker] Low bridge.

198
00:08:19,131 --> 00:08:21,200
[Vic] We said Chase had the IQ advantage,

199
00:08:21,267 --> 00:08:23,369
he's trying to chop down the big man.

200
00:08:23,436 --> 00:08:27,206
[Booker] Andre Chase,
he needs this victory for the U.

201
00:08:27,273 --> 00:08:30,142
He needs it, Vic. He wants it, man.

202
00:08:30,676 --> 00:08:32,211
-Give me a C.
-[audience] C!

203
00:08:32,278 --> 00:08:33,813

-What's that spell?
-[audience] Chase U!

209
00:08:42,989 --> 00:08:44,824
[Vic] Andre Chase, a different man

210
00:08:44,891 --> 00:08:47,193
since the arrival of Duke Hudson,

211
00:08:47,260 --> 00:08:49,328
as Hudson's on the outside
along with Thea Hail.

212
00:08:49,395 --> 00:08:50,796
From behind, Axiom.

213
00:08:50,863 --> 00:08:51,998
[Booker] Got caught.

214
00:08:52,064 --> 00:08:53,633
[Vic] Swing and a miss.

215
00:08:53,699 --> 00:08:55,868
Chase down. Axiom wiped out Wagner.

216
00:08:55,935 --> 00:08:57,370
How quick is Axiom?

217
00:08:57,436 --> 00:08:59,505
[Booker] This kid is quick as a hiccup.

218
00:08:59,572 --> 00:09:03,109
Right now, Andre Chase is on dream street.

219
00:09:03,175 --> 00:09:05,945
This kid's about to go to the moon.
He's about to drop--

220
00:09:06,012 --> 00:09:08,247
-[loud thud]
-[Vic] He got caught.

221
00:09:08,314 --> 00:09:10,383
[Vic] Chase now, up and down.

222
00:09:10,449 --> 00:09:12,985
Double underhook. Sit-down powerbomb.

223
00:09:13,052 --> 00:09:13,953
Will it be enough?

224
00:09:14,020 --> 00:09:14,954
And a kick out.

225
00:09:15,021 --> 00:09:17,223
[Booker] So close to making sure

226
00:09:17,290 --> 00:09:19,025

227
00:09:19,091 --> 00:09:22,094
That right there is a big, big ticket.

228
00:09:22,161 --> 00:09:23,362
Just missed out on it--

229
00:09:23,429 --> 00:09:24,597
[Vic] Boom!

230
00:09:24,664 --> 00:09:27,033
He's gotta stay focused,
though, does Chase.

231
00:09:27,099 --> 00:09:29,535
It was Hudson who started
that campus petition

232
00:09:29,602 --> 00:09:31,137
weeks ago for Chase.

233
00:09:31,203 --> 00:09:34,807
[Booker] No, Vic, like I said,
for fundraising purposes alone--

234
00:09:34,874 --> 00:09:36,142
[Vic] Forget about fundraising.

235
00:09:36,208 --> 00:09:37,043
He's gotta survive.

236
00:09:37,109 --> 00:09:39,712
[Booker] …Andre Chase
needs this victory, man.

237
00:09:39,779 --> 00:09:41,614
[Vic] Axiom trying to break
the grip of Chase,

238
00:09:41,681 --> 00:09:43,215
Chase trying to roll through.

239
00:09:43,282 --> 00:09:45,251
Axiom keeping that left shoulder
off the mat.

240
00:09:45,318 --> 00:09:46,919
[Booker] Keeping that pressure on the mat.

241
00:09:46,986 --> 00:09:48,387
Chase U, wait a minute,

242
00:09:48,454 --> 00:09:50,323
almost had a pinning position there.

243
00:09:50,389 --> 00:09:51,524
Could've locked it in.

244
00:09:51,591 --> 00:09:53,726
[Vic] Don't worry, Wagner just changed

245
00:09:53,793 --> 00:09:56,062
the complexion of this match up,
turned it around.

246
00:09:56,128 --> 00:09:56,963
Submission.

247
00:09:57,029 --> 00:09:59,532
[Booker] This kid is trying to lock
a submission in on this big guy?

248
00:09:59,598 --> 00:10:02,368
[Vic] Axiom trying to squeeze.
Trying to transition now.

249
00:10:02,435 --> 00:10:06,138
[Booker] I give him a lot of credit, Vic,
but this is a big man right here.

250
00:10:06,205 --> 00:10:08,474
Upward of 260, 270 pounds.

251
00:10:08,541 --> 00:10:10,443
[Vic] Doesn't matter when
you're on the mat,

252
00:10:10,509 --> 00:10:12,612
he's the same size and he's fading.

253
00:10:12,678 --> 00:10:15,014
[Booker] Size does matter

254
00:10:15,081 --> 00:10:16,482
in a situation like this.

255
00:10:17,917 --> 00:10:19,785
[Vic] You can hear Stone yelling

256
00:10:19,852 --> 00:10:22,521
and there's that power on display.

257
00:10:22,588 --> 00:10:25,324
[Booker] Didn't I tell you?
I'm trying to tell you.

258
00:10:25,391 --> 00:10:28,361
It was a great play and a great plan.

259
00:10:29,295 --> 00:10:30,796
[Vic] Is that gonna be enough?

260
00:10:30,863 --> 00:10:32,698
Wagner headed to NXT,

261
00:10:32,765 --> 00:10:33,699
a kick out.

262
00:10:33,766 --> 00:10:35,034
[Booker] So close.

263
00:10:35,101 --> 00:10:38,437
So close to punching
that ticket to Deadline.

264
00:10:38,504 --> 00:10:41,941
[Vic] Duke Hudson leading
the charge for Chase U.

265
00:10:42,008 --> 00:10:43,009
Get off!

266
00:10:43,075 --> 00:10:44,110
[audience] Chase U!

267
00:10:44,176 --> 00:10:46,379
[Vic] Wagner turned around,
hoists up Axiom.

268
00:10:46,912 --> 00:10:48,514
Chase back to his feet.

269
00:10:48,581 --> 00:10:50,349
All three of these men
laying it on the line

270
00:10:50,416 --> 00:10:53,753
and now looking again
to wipe out the field is Chase.

271
00:10:53,819 --> 00:10:55,087
[crowd cheers]

272
00:10:55,154 --> 00:10:57,289
[Booker] Chase did something very smart,

273
00:10:57,356 --> 00:10:59,025
going to the knee of the big man,

274
00:10:59,091 --> 00:11:00,826
trying to break him down.

275
00:11:00,893 --> 00:11:02,561
[Vic] And now, looking to fly.

276
00:11:02,628 --> 00:11:04,497
Chase with his sights set.

277
00:11:04,563 --> 00:11:06,065
Axiom getting out of the way.

278
00:11:06,132 --> 00:11:07,099
Wiped out Wagner.

279
00:11:07,166 --> 00:11:08,801
Not enough to get the cover.

280
00:11:09,468 --> 00:11:11,570
Oh, Chase, though,

281
00:11:11,637 --> 00:11:13,539
the momentum carried him outside.

282
00:11:13,606 --> 00:11:15,808
Axiom connects with the side of the face

283
00:11:15,875 --> 00:11:18,778
and it's Axiom headed to NXT Deadline.

284
00:11:18,844 --> 00:11:20,146
[Axiom's music plays]

285
00:11:20,212 --> 00:11:23,949
[Alicia] Here is your winner, Axiom.

286
00:11:24,016 --> 00:11:28,354
[Vic] Golden ratio may have just
given Axiom a golden ticket

287
00:11:28,421 --> 00:11:31,657
to becoming the number one contender

288
00:11:31,724 --> 00:11:33,959
for the NXT championship.

289
00:11:34,026 --> 00:11:35,261
[Booker] Oh, yes.

290
00:11:35,327 --> 00:11:37,063
You're talking about history, Vic.

291
00:11:37,129 --> 00:11:38,297
You're talking about Deadline.

292
00:11:38,364 --> 00:11:41,033
You're talking about being
in that main event match up.

293
00:11:41,100 --> 00:11:42,868
[Vic] It was Von Wagner who thought

294
00:11:42,935 --> 00:11:44,804
he had punched his own ticket.

295
00:11:44,870 --> 00:11:45,704
Into the cover,

296
00:11:45,771 --> 00:11:48,974
but Andre Chase
would continue to persevere

297
00:11:49,041 --> 00:11:52,511
and Chase, high risk,
didn't get the reward,

298
00:11:52,578 --> 00:11:54,580
but the momentum
carried him out of the ring

299
00:11:54,647 --> 00:11:57,283
and then picking up the pieces was Axiom.

300
00:11:58,584 --> 00:12:01,587
And Axiom taking out Von Wagner.

301
00:12:01,654 --> 00:12:05,191
How good it must feel for Axiom
to pick up the win

302
00:12:05,257 --> 00:12:07,827
and the field is now set for the men

303
00:12:07,893 --> 00:12:09,862

304
00:12:09,929 --> 00:12:12,331

309

that I'm willing to do whatever it takes

310
00:12:41,227 --> 00:12:43,629
to become the number one woman in NXT.

presented itself,

316
00:12:56,108 --> 00:12:58,177

There are no depths
that I will not sink to.

319
00:13:06,385 --> 00:13:08,420
And if you thought
I embarrassed Wendy Choo,

320
00:13:08,487 --> 00:13:10,890
wait until I embarrass
the other women in this match

321
00:13:10,956 --> 00:13:14,260

I figured this would be
the last time we get to go out,

355
00:14:39,812 --> 00:14:42,848
just two men enjoying the water, fishing.

356
00:14:42,915 --> 00:14:44,516
All right, come on.

357
00:14:44,583 --> 00:14:46,318
-Alright.
-Why don't you untie us?

358
00:14:46,385 --> 00:14:47,386
[Apollo] You got it, champ.

359
00:14:51,123 --> 00:14:53,192
I'm really liking this boat.

360
00:14:53,259 --> 00:14:55,427
Cuts through the water
with great precision.

361
00:14:55,494 --> 00:14:57,630
The acceleration is great
with these two engines.

362
00:14:57,696 --> 00:14:58,998
This is wonderful.

363
00:14:59,064 --> 00:15:00,666
[laughing] Like taking my spear.

364
00:15:00,733 --> 00:15:01,967
[Apollo laughs]

365
00:15:02,034 --> 00:15:04,536
-Something to look forward to.
-I see what you did.

366
00:15:04,603 --> 00:15:06,672
-Is that right?
-This is my favorite spot.

367
00:15:06,739 --> 00:15:07,806
This is it? Alright.

368
00:15:09,141 --> 00:15:10,376
[Apollo] You gotta teach me, man.

369
00:15:10,442 --> 00:15:11,644
I've never been fishing,

370
00:15:11,710 --> 00:15:13,045
as surprising as it may sound.

371
00:15:13,112 --> 00:15:15,881
Take the line with your pointer finger,
pull it towards.

372
00:15:15,948 --> 00:15:17,683
-Flip the spool up.
-Right there?

373
00:15:17,750 --> 00:15:18,784
Rear it back.

374
00:15:18,851 --> 00:15:20,152
-Let it go.
-Alright.

375
00:15:21,820 --> 00:15:23,689
Woo!

376
00:15:23,756 --> 00:15:25,391
-That's it.
-Look at that, man.

377
00:15:25,457 --> 00:15:26,292
A pro already.

378
00:15:26,358 --> 00:15:29,028
A pro. I'm a natural in the ring,
natural at casting.

379
00:15:29,094 --> 00:15:30,462
I got it, man.

380
00:15:30,529 --> 00:15:31,363
[laughter]

381
00:15:31,430 --> 00:15:32,498
Let's see what we catch.

382
00:15:34,099 --> 00:15:37,202
I gotta give it to you
with that standing moonsault you do.

383
00:15:37,269 --> 00:15:39,138
Yes. I just did it one day.

384
00:15:39,204 --> 00:15:40,639
I've always had the hops.

385
00:15:42,908 --> 00:15:44,076
How about you, man?

386
00:15:44,143 --> 00:15:46,945
I see you over there
doing that moonsault too.

387
00:15:48,881 --> 00:15:50,449
Look, I saw you doing it,

388
00:15:50,516 --> 00:15:51,750
figured I'd try it.

389
00:15:51,817 --> 00:15:53,352
Man, I fell right on my face.

390
00:15:54,186 --> 00:15:57,323
Is there any other moves of mine
that you're gonna steal?

391
00:15:57,389 --> 00:15:58,524
[laughter]

392
00:15:58,590 --> 00:15:59,558
Just a few.

393
00:15:59,625 --> 00:16:01,994
I guess I have to learn
to counter my own moves.

394
00:16:02,061 --> 00:16:03,963
Since it's just me, you, and the fish.

395
00:16:04,029 --> 00:16:06,598
Doesn't look like
there's any fish out here today.

396
00:16:07,266 --> 00:16:09,535
Let me ask you, man, does this really help

397
00:16:09,601 --> 00:16:11,236
take the pressure off being champion

398
00:16:11,303 --> 00:16:13,739
or is this just an excuse to be alone?

399
00:16:13,806 --> 00:16:15,174
It's so peaceful out here.

400
00:16:15,774 --> 00:16:17,876
As soon as you hold that NXT championship,

401
00:16:17,943 --> 00:16:19,878
so much pressure comes with it.

402
00:16:19,945 --> 00:16:21,680
Not to mention fighting
the best of the best.

403
00:16:21,747 --> 00:16:23,749
[Apollo] And you got Gunther,

404
00:16:23,816 --> 00:16:26,118
Gargano, Ciampa,

405
00:16:26,185 --> 00:16:27,453
and Ziggler.

406
00:16:27,519 --> 00:16:29,988
That's one hell of a list
if I must say so myself.

407
00:16:30,055 --> 00:16:31,890
Every match is a must-win match.

408
00:16:32,424 --> 00:16:34,493
You lose a match, make one, two mistakes,

409
00:16:34,560 --> 00:16:35,794
you don't lose a match.

410
00:16:35,861 --> 00:16:37,196
You lose everything you worked for.

411
00:16:37,262 --> 00:16:38,597
You know what, champ?

412
00:16:38,664 --> 00:16:40,799
I got a fantastic idea.

413
00:16:40,866 --> 00:16:42,468
If you're so tired of the grind,

414
00:16:42,534 --> 00:16:43,736
how about this Saturday,

415
00:16:43,802 --> 00:16:45,170
you just hand me over the title

416
00:16:45,237 --> 00:16:47,039
and you take that much-needed break?

417
00:16:47,806 --> 00:16:50,709
I'm gonna have
to respectfully decline, Apollo.

418
00:16:50,776 --> 00:16:52,911
Almost had him. Uh-oh.

419
00:16:52,978 --> 00:16:54,213
You got a bite?

420
00:16:54,279 --> 00:16:56,115
You got it. Reel it, reel it.

421
00:16:57,616 --> 00:16:58,450
You got one!

422
00:16:58,517 --> 00:16:59,718
[Apollo] Look at that.

423
00:16:59,785 --> 00:17:01,387
[Bron] Dude, it's a [indistinct]

424
00:17:01,453 --> 00:17:03,188
-Woah.
-Look at it, oh!

425
00:17:04,723 --> 00:17:06,225
Whoa!

426
00:17:13,832 --> 00:17:14,733
He's out of there.

427
00:17:15,401 --> 00:17:17,669
-Damn.
-Congrats on the fish.

428
00:17:17,736 --> 00:17:20,239
All seriousness,
Deadline's gonna be a banger, man.

429
00:17:20,305 --> 00:17:22,408
Man, I'm absolutely looking forward to it.

430
00:17:22,474 --> 00:17:24,209
It's definitely gonna be a banger.

431
00:17:24,943 --> 00:17:25,778
What?

432
00:17:25,844 --> 00:17:28,047
You want me to give you my game plan?

433
00:17:28,113 --> 00:17:30,115
I'll show you mine if you show me yours.

434
00:17:30,749 --> 00:17:31,583
All right.

435
00:17:31,650 --> 00:17:33,952
Mine's gonna be the same
as it always has been.

436
00:17:34,019 --> 00:17:36,355
Power, intensity, speed.

437
00:17:36,422 --> 00:17:37,723
[Apollo] This Saturday,

438
00:17:37,790 --> 00:17:39,792
I'm gonna challenge
that power, that intensity,

439
00:17:39,858 --> 00:17:42,194
and I'm definitely gonna
challenge that speed.

440
00:17:42,261 --> 00:17:44,196
-Be ready for it.
-You know what, man?

441
00:17:44,763 --> 00:17:47,266
-May the best man win.
-All right. I'll take it.

442
00:17:47,332 --> 00:17:49,334
I can't believe I didn't catch any fish.

443
00:17:50,102 --> 00:17:51,303
Today wasn't your day.

444
00:17:52,337 --> 00:17:54,139
Saturday won't be your day either.

445
00:17:54,206 --> 00:17:55,774
[Apollo laughs]

446
00:17:55,841 --> 00:17:57,342
You want to try for some more?

447
00:18:02,214 --> 00:18:04,416
[Vic] Will Crews' latest vision come true

448
00:18:04,483 --> 00:18:06,552
or will Bron Breakker toss

449
00:18:06,618 --> 00:18:07,986
another challenger back?

450
00:18:08,053 --> 00:18:10,789
It's the NXT title
on the line this Saturday

451
00:18:10,856 --> 00:18:13,892
at NXT Deadline, only on WWE

452
00:18:13,959 --> 00:18:15,594
on Peacock.

453
00:18:16,128 --> 00:18:17,729
[Bryson Montana's music plays]

454
00:18:17,796 --> 00:18:18,630
[bell rings]

455
00:18:18,697 --> 00:18:21,100
[Alicia] The following contest
is scheduled for one fall.

456
00:18:21,166 --> 00:18:24,336
Introducing first, Bryson Montana.

457
00:18:24,403 --> 00:18:26,572
[Vic] We talked time
and time again about--

458
00:18:26,638 --> 00:18:27,473
Whoa.

459
00:18:27,539 --> 00:18:29,341
[Booker] What the hell is this?

460
00:18:29,408 --> 00:18:30,576
[Vic] Sanga and Veer.

461
00:18:30,642 --> 00:18:32,077
You'll be loving this, Book.

462
00:18:32,144 --> 00:18:33,278
[Booker] Sanga.

463
00:18:33,345 --> 00:18:35,881
Oh, wow!

464
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:43,055
[Javier Bernal's music plays]

465
00:18:43,121 --> 00:18:45,991
[Vic] Much like the NXT Universe,
I'm a little stunned

466
00:18:46,058 --> 00:18:48,827
as we were getting ready for,
well, this match.

467
00:18:49,361 --> 00:18:51,129
[Alicia] And his opponent,

468
00:18:51,196 --> 00:18:53,632
Javier Bernal.

469
00:18:53,699 --> 00:18:56,168
[Booker] Please, get in the ring.

470
00:18:56,235 --> 00:18:58,470
Please, Bernal. Please, get in the ring.

471
00:18:58,537 --> 00:19:00,339
[Vic] I've never agreed with you so much.

472
00:19:00,405 --> 00:19:01,607
Ever.

473
00:19:03,609 --> 00:19:05,711
Even… Yes, okay, well.

474
00:19:06,778 --> 00:19:09,114
Apparently he has
a hamstring injury, Book.

475
00:19:09,181 --> 00:19:10,349
I'm no doctor.

476
00:19:12,117 --> 00:19:14,419
Might be the smartest thing
Bernal's ever done.

477
00:19:14,486 --> 00:19:15,420
Creed Brothers,

478
00:19:16,288 --> 00:19:19,458
we said we'll not face you
unless you are 100%.

479
00:19:20,559 --> 00:19:21,627
You have a heart,

480
00:19:22,895 --> 00:19:25,164
but clearly you are not 100%.

481
00:19:26,398 --> 00:19:28,600
Destroying you any time.

482
00:19:29,334 --> 00:19:32,871
Before that, does not interest us.

483
00:19:33,939 --> 00:19:37,743
So we respectfully decline your challenge.

484
00:19:37,809 --> 00:19:39,311
Oh, we'll wait

485
00:19:39,378 --> 00:19:40,579
until you're ready.

486
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:44,850
But don't keep us waiting so long.

487
00:19:46,785 --> 00:19:49,788
[Indus Sher's music plays]

488
00:19:50,789 --> 00:19:54,493
[Vic] There you see Sanga and Veer,

489
00:19:54,560 --> 00:19:56,762
a message being delivered,

490
00:19:56,828 --> 00:19:58,964
oh, to the Creed Brothers, and look.

491
00:19:59,031 --> 00:20:00,766
Creed Brothers heard the message.

492
00:20:00,832 --> 00:20:03,936
They don't wanna wait,
but Julius, he's not medically cleared.

493
00:20:04,002 --> 00:20:06,972
[Booker] I've got to update
my fave five, dawg.

494
00:20:07,039 --> 00:20:09,041
[fans shout]

495
00:20:12,978 --> 00:20:15,180
You didn't even get pinned in the match.

496
00:20:15,247 --> 00:20:16,315
Mr. Chase, Mr. Chase.

497
00:20:16,381 --> 00:20:17,449
Where have you been?

498
00:20:17,516 --> 00:20:18,884
I'm sorry about your match,

499
00:20:18,951 --> 00:20:21,520
but I was just informed
that I have a match tonight.

500
00:20:21,587 --> 00:20:22,821
-You have a match?
-Yes.

501
00:20:22,888 --> 00:20:24,423
Fantastic. Who is it against?

502
00:20:24,489 --> 00:20:25,691
Isla Dawn.

503
00:20:25,757 --> 00:20:27,793
Isla Dawn. No way.

504
00:20:27,859 --> 00:20:29,461
Way, Duke. Way!

505
00:20:29,528 --> 00:20:32,197
No, I'm saying like no way
like you shouldn't take it.

506
00:20:32,264 --> 00:20:35,767
I get it, she's super scary,
but I'm super ready.

507
00:20:36,568 --> 00:20:38,370
-Help me out here.
-She can do it.

508
00:20:38,437 --> 00:20:40,305
Yes, yes, yes.

509
00:20:40,372 --> 00:20:42,441
Professor, I think you should reconsider.

510
00:20:42,507 --> 00:20:44,643
Look, Duke.
I said she can compete tonight.

511
00:20:44,710 --> 00:20:46,812
I'll be fine, Duke. Don't worry.

512
00:20:46,878 --> 00:20:48,113
Thank you, Mr. Chase.

513
00:20:48,180 --> 00:20:49,281
I gotta go get ready.

514
00:20:50,449 --> 00:20:52,317
Mr. Chase, I understand that you lost

515
00:20:52,384 --> 00:20:54,253
and you're not in the Iron Survivor--

516
00:20:54,319 --> 00:20:56,588
Damn it, Duke. I've made my decision.

when you bundle with Progressive.

we take seriously,

00:21:11,069 --> 00:21:12,271
business

523
00:21:13,205 --> 00:21:14,072
and family.

524
00:21:14,139 --> 00:21:15,941
Now you can add a third item,

525
00:21:16,842 --> 00:21:18,944
my success in WWE.

526
00:21:20,078 --> 00:21:21,813

00:21:26,218 --> 00:21:27,686
And I think it's about time

NXT runs on my watch.

00:22:08,427 --> 00:22:10,062
[Vic] Because of what you witnessed,

533
00:22:10,128 --> 00:22:13,098
those teams who were caught up
in the heat of the moment

534
00:22:13,165 --> 00:22:15,367
will meet later tonight
in Tag Team action.

535
00:22:15,434 --> 00:22:16,902
-[Xyon Quinn's music plays]
-[bell rings]

536
00:22:16,968 --> 00:22:19,905
[Alicia] The following contest
is scheduled for one fall.

537
00:22:19,971 --> 00:22:23,208
Introducing first, Xyon Quinn.

538
00:22:23,275 --> 00:22:25,911
[Vic] The so called it factor in NXT.

539
00:22:25,977 --> 00:22:27,546
Does he pass the airport test?

540
00:22:27,612 --> 00:22:29,648
[Booker] Oh, yes. This kid, Quinn.

541
00:22:29,715 --> 00:22:32,718
[Tony D'Angelo's music plays]

542
00:22:33,852 --> 00:22:34,986
[cheers and boos]

543
00:22:36,355 --> 00:22:37,622
[Alicia] His opponent,

544
00:22:37,689 --> 00:22:39,758
accompanied by Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo,

545
00:22:39,825 --> 00:22:42,494
"The Don of NXT",

546
00:22:42,561 --> 00:22:45,997
Tony D'Angelo.

547
00:22:46,064 --> 00:22:47,733
[Vic] I don't want to waste time.

548
00:22:47,799 --> 00:22:49,167
He looks perfectly healthy.

549
00:22:49,234 --> 00:22:52,471
His first match back
in 10 weeks for the Don.

550
00:22:52,537 --> 00:22:55,040
So Book, from afar,

551
00:22:55,107 --> 00:22:57,309
what have been your thoughts
on Tony D'Angelo

552
00:22:57,376 --> 00:22:59,411
before he squares off with Xyon?

553
00:22:59,478 --> 00:23:01,913
[Booker] As far as in the past,

554
00:23:01,980 --> 00:23:04,549
what I've seen, straight OG,

555
00:23:04,616 --> 00:23:07,586
and I'm talking about no curve, no bend.

556
00:23:07,652 --> 00:23:08,620
I'm gonna tell you.

557
00:23:08,687 --> 00:23:11,590
This kid right there,
he's under that umbrella

558
00:23:11,656 --> 00:23:15,160
of a guy like Dillinger, Capone, Gotti.

559
00:23:15,227 --> 00:23:17,162
He will leave you laying in the dirt.

560
00:23:17,229 --> 00:23:19,131
[Vic] There you see him with the family,

561
00:23:19,197 --> 00:23:21,299
Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo on the outside.

562
00:23:21,366 --> 00:23:23,969
The Don is back in NXT.

563
00:23:24,035 --> 00:23:25,537
Another quick question.

564
00:23:25,604 --> 00:23:26,738
Would the king,

565
00:23:26,805 --> 00:23:28,740
so to speak, ever partner with the Don?

566
00:23:28,807 --> 00:23:31,343
[Booker] Look here, man.
That's another story.

567
00:23:31,409 --> 00:23:34,980
You're talking big money,
because you're talking about--

568
00:23:35,046 --> 00:23:37,282
[Vic] Talking a lot of skillets, possibly.

569
00:23:37,349 --> 00:23:40,152
[Booker] You're talking
about a lot of ducats, man.

570
00:23:40,218 --> 00:23:41,686
Check this guy out though, the Don.

571
00:23:41,753 --> 00:23:43,255
He looks good right now.

572
00:23:43,321 --> 00:23:44,623
[Vic] Of course, it was…

573
00:23:45,991 --> 00:23:48,994
Of course it was the Don
who suffered a knee injury

574
00:23:49,060 --> 00:23:51,329
as I mentioned over two months ago.

575
00:23:51,396 --> 00:23:52,664
Showing no ill effects,

576
00:23:52,731 --> 00:23:54,299
but Quinn taking it to the Don.

577
00:23:54,366 --> 00:23:55,567
[Booker] I don't know.

578
00:23:55,634 --> 00:23:58,537
You better come in
and dust those cobwebs off.

579
00:23:58,603 --> 00:24:01,273
Contrary to popular belief,

580
00:24:01,339 --> 00:24:03,942
it ain't like riding a bicycle
or anything like that.

581
00:24:04,009 --> 00:24:06,445
But the Don is looking real good.

582
00:24:06,511 --> 00:24:07,813
He's in shape too.

583
00:24:07,879 --> 00:24:09,447
Look at the upper body develop.

584
00:24:09,514 --> 00:24:12,317
[Vic] Turning it into a hockey fight
center of the ring.

585
00:24:12,384 --> 00:24:14,152
We're all aware of Tony D'Angelo

586
00:24:14,219 --> 00:24:16,455
and the connections he has.

587
00:24:16,521 --> 00:24:18,757
But why confront someone
like Dijak last week?

588
00:24:18,824 --> 00:24:20,091
Why get in his face?

589
00:24:20,158 --> 00:24:22,093
[Booker] Look, when you're a Don,

590
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:23,995
when you're an OG,

591
00:24:24,062 --> 00:24:25,630
when you're a made man,

592
00:24:25,697 --> 00:24:29,267
sometimes you gotta do it,
you gotta make an example,

593
00:24:29,334 --> 00:24:30,836
you got to do it yourself, man.

594
00:24:30,902 --> 00:24:32,771
[Vic] D'Angelo's got a little
pent-up aggression,

595
00:24:32,838 --> 00:24:33,972
but so does Quinn.

596
00:24:34,039 --> 00:24:35,640
Now Quinn firing back.

597
00:24:35,707 --> 00:24:38,543
[Booker] The man's a high flyer.
You better watch this kid,

598
00:24:38,610 --> 00:24:42,247
he's definitely formidable as an opponent.

599
00:24:42,314 --> 00:24:45,116
[Vic] Stacks on the outside
looking on right now

600
00:24:45,183 --> 00:24:47,686
as the Don trying to go to work
and put the work in.

601
00:24:47,752 --> 00:24:49,588
Gets hoisted and dropped.

602
00:24:49,654 --> 00:24:51,022
[Booker laughs]

603
00:24:51,089 --> 00:24:53,792
[Vic] There's that athleticism
you were alluding to.

604
00:24:53,859 --> 00:24:55,760
[Booker] No, what that is, Vic,

605
00:24:55,827 --> 00:24:59,197
time off in this business
is your worst enemy.

606
00:24:59,264 --> 00:25:01,366
Your timing is just not there.

607
00:25:01,433 --> 00:25:02,901
Like I say, the Don right now

608
00:25:02,968 --> 00:25:04,903
looking better than ever.

609
00:25:04,970 --> 00:25:07,806
[Vic] What a spine buster from D'Angelo.

610
00:25:08,340 --> 00:25:11,243
And you heard D'Angelo says it's over.

611
00:25:12,777 --> 00:25:14,713
Looking to hook and drop--

612
00:25:14,779 --> 00:25:16,381
[Booker] Oh, beautiful.

613
00:25:16,448 --> 00:25:17,749
[Vic] …Xyon Quinn.

614
00:25:17,816 --> 00:25:19,084
And no doubt about it,

615
00:25:19,150 --> 00:25:22,020
welcome back to NXT.

616
00:25:22,687 --> 00:25:24,155
[Alicia] Here is your winner,

617
00:25:24,222 --> 00:25:26,458
Tony D'Angelo.

618
00:25:26,524 --> 00:25:29,394
[Booker] Up before the sunrise.

619
00:25:29,461 --> 00:25:31,329
First one to hit the block,

620
00:25:31,396 --> 00:25:32,964
that's Tony D, man.

621
00:25:33,031 --> 00:25:34,933
Look who's back, baby.

622
00:25:35,000 --> 00:25:37,002
[crowd cheers]

623
00:25:37,769 --> 00:25:39,004
Hey, Stacks.

624
00:25:39,504 --> 00:25:40,906
You see any rust in this ring?

625
00:25:40,972 --> 00:25:42,307
No, I didn't see any rust.

626
00:25:42,374 --> 00:25:43,642
You still as good.

627
00:25:43,708 --> 00:25:44,809
Just as good, baby.

628
00:25:44,876 --> 00:25:46,111
Hey, me neither.

629
00:25:46,177 --> 00:25:49,948
Maybe on Mr. X-Factor
over there, but not me.

630
00:25:51,116 --> 00:25:52,951
I'm like a shiny new hubcap.

631
00:25:53,919 --> 00:25:55,353
Not for nothing, that's why they call me

632
00:25:55,420 --> 00:25:57,355
The Don of NXT.

633
00:26:00,058 --> 00:26:01,026
So listen,

634
00:26:01,927 --> 00:26:03,728
during my physical therapy,

635
00:26:04,629 --> 00:26:05,931
I gained some new…

636
00:26:07,766 --> 00:26:09,701
revenues, right?

637
00:26:09,768 --> 00:26:11,636
Got some new connections.

638
00:26:11,703 --> 00:26:12,671
You feel me?

639
00:26:15,273 --> 00:26:16,107
But for us,

640
00:26:16,775 --> 00:26:19,210
it always came down to Wes Lee

641
00:26:19,778 --> 00:26:21,413
and that North American title.

642
00:26:22,380 --> 00:26:24,582
See, I was well on my way

643
00:26:24,649 --> 00:26:26,551
to winning that qualifier match.

644
00:26:26,618 --> 00:26:28,887
Wes Lee, you took a cheap shot,

645
00:26:28,954 --> 00:26:30,021
blew my knee out.

646
00:26:30,655 --> 00:26:32,724
You've been living on that rep

647
00:26:32,791 --> 00:26:34,225
of injuring my knee…

648
00:26:34,292 --> 00:26:37,295
[Wes Lee's music plays]

649
00:26:42,167 --> 00:26:45,370
Welcome back, Tony D'Angelo.

650
00:26:45,437 --> 00:26:48,340
The Don has returned.

651
00:26:52,110 --> 00:26:53,011
Hey,

652
00:26:53,078 --> 00:26:56,014
I appreciate you coming out here
to pay tribute.

653
00:26:56,081 --> 00:26:56,915
I really do.

654
00:26:59,084 --> 00:27:00,018
Not quite.

655
00:27:00,085 --> 00:27:00,919
You see,

656
00:27:00,986 --> 00:27:03,621
everyone knows that you've been eyeing me

657
00:27:03,688 --> 00:27:04,622
and my title.

658
00:27:05,390 --> 00:27:08,460
I just wanted to come out here
face-to-face to let you know

659
00:27:08,526 --> 00:27:10,996
that I've had my eye on you just as much.

660
00:27:11,963 --> 00:27:13,365
Not to mention someone else

661
00:27:13,431 --> 00:27:15,266
that I plan on taking care of--

662
00:27:15,333 --> 00:27:17,502
Let me smarten you up right now.

663
00:27:17,569 --> 00:27:20,372
You better have your eyes
on this guy right here

664
00:27:20,438 --> 00:27:22,807
because there's nobody
bigger than the Don.

665
00:27:23,441 --> 00:27:26,277
Please have your man switch
to decaf and chill out, right?

666
00:27:29,047 --> 00:27:31,716
Look, after I beat Carmelo,

667
00:27:31,783 --> 00:27:33,585
Dijak came out and dropped me.

668
00:27:33,651 --> 00:27:36,488
As far I see it, I have
unfinished business with this man.

669
00:27:36,554 --> 00:27:38,390
So if you want me and my title,

670
00:27:38,456 --> 00:27:40,625
you're gonna have to wait
until I'm finished with Dijak.

671
00:27:41,326 --> 00:27:43,461
Oh, Mr. High and Mighty,

672
00:27:44,129 --> 00:27:46,998
I'm pretty insulted
you think I'd wait in any line.

673
00:27:47,065 --> 00:27:50,435
I don't care about any business
you have with Dijak.

674
00:27:51,069 --> 00:27:54,372
Yes, Dijak, he plays
by a different set of rules.

675
00:27:54,439 --> 00:27:56,041
Good for him. I don't care.

676
00:27:56,741 --> 00:27:59,344
Yours and Dijak's business

677
00:27:59,411 --> 00:28:01,513
is gonna have to wait for some other time.

678
00:28:02,313 --> 00:28:03,248
[Dijak] D'Angelo.

679
00:28:04,182 --> 00:28:06,051
Hey, D'Angelo.

680
00:28:07,452 --> 00:28:10,055
You're damn right I play
by a different set of rules.

681
00:28:10,121 --> 00:28:11,689
I tell it like it is.

682
00:28:11,756 --> 00:28:13,458
You're a scumbag from the streets,

683
00:28:13,525 --> 00:28:16,628
but as long as you stay out of my way,
I won't have to clean up those streets.

684
00:28:16,695 --> 00:28:17,662
And Wes Lee…

685
00:28:20,298 --> 00:28:21,933
when I jacked your jaw,

686
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:24,369
I thought you'd crawl into a hole
and never come out.

687
00:28:25,070 --> 00:28:26,671
My advice to you,

688
00:28:27,238 --> 00:28:29,340
keep my name out of your mouth

689
00:28:29,407 --> 00:28:31,076
because I have a very special way

690
00:28:31,142 --> 00:28:33,044
of dealing with repeat offenders.

691
00:28:33,812 --> 00:28:34,813
Neither one of you

692
00:28:35,447 --> 00:28:37,449
can or will do anything

693
00:28:37,515 --> 00:28:40,919
to stop me from decimating NXT.

694
00:28:42,821 --> 00:28:45,023
Wes, you listening
to that guy right there?

695
00:28:45,857 --> 00:28:47,125
You better be,

696
00:28:47,192 --> 00:28:48,526
because the way I see it is,

697
00:28:49,394 --> 00:28:50,595
there's nowhere to run.

698
00:28:52,097 --> 00:28:53,431
[Vic] Oh, and a cheap shot.

699
00:28:54,432 --> 00:28:56,568
We know Lee isn't gonna play around,

700
00:28:56,634 --> 00:28:59,604
Lee with the escape ability on display.

701
00:28:59,671 --> 00:29:01,072
[Booker] Nice move.

702
00:29:01,139 --> 00:29:03,174
[Wes Lee's music plays]

703
00:29:03,241 --> 00:29:05,877
[Vic] Wes Lee isn't
gonna be punked out by anyone.

704
00:29:05,944 --> 00:29:08,179
Whether it's the Don, whether it's Stacks.

705
00:29:08,246 --> 00:29:12,584
Wes Lee knows the targets
are growing on his back.

706
00:29:12,650 --> 00:29:14,986
While we talk about
the North American champion,

707
00:29:15,053 --> 00:29:17,055
we saw the altercation here seconds ago.

708
00:29:17,122 --> 00:29:18,623
We gotta go back to last week,

709
00:29:18,690 --> 00:29:21,192
an altercation took place
in the locker room area,

710
00:29:21,259 --> 00:29:25,396
and it was during
the men's Iron Survivor Challenge,

711
00:29:25,463 --> 00:29:27,432
those participants that were announced.

712
00:29:28,666 --> 00:29:30,168
You're with Quincy Elliott.

713
00:29:30,235 --> 00:29:31,302
Yes.

714
00:29:31,369 --> 00:29:32,637
Hey, Charlie.

715
00:29:32,704 --> 00:29:33,638
Charlie.

716
00:29:37,208 --> 00:29:38,276
Hey, man.

717
00:29:38,343 --> 00:29:39,544
I heard what you said

718
00:29:39,611 --> 00:29:42,347
about getting a security guard contract.

719
00:29:42,413 --> 00:29:44,315
I just wanted to say, bro, I get it.

720
00:29:44,382 --> 00:29:46,184
I know you love this business,

721
00:29:46,251 --> 00:29:48,686
but I didn't get in the ring
when I was four years old.

722
00:29:48,753 --> 00:29:50,321
I got in when I was 24,

723
00:29:50,388 --> 00:29:53,324
and I wish I could follow
my father's footsteps.

724
00:29:53,391 --> 00:29:55,960
My dad, he just worked
in factories his entire life.

725
00:29:56,027 --> 00:29:57,495
-Good for him.
-You know what?

726
00:29:57,562 --> 00:29:58,630
None of that matters.

727
00:29:58,696 --> 00:30:00,265
I want the opportunity and respect

728
00:30:00,331 --> 00:30:02,033
everyone else gets around here.

729
00:30:02,100 --> 00:30:03,501
If I have to earn my stripes

730
00:30:03,568 --> 00:30:05,203
and prove to you that I belong here,

731
00:30:06,104 --> 00:30:07,438
just say the word, boss.

732
00:30:07,505 --> 00:30:08,606
We can make it happen.

733
00:30:09,474 --> 00:30:11,242
You wanna step in the ring with me?

734
00:30:11,309 --> 00:30:12,143
Yes.

735
00:30:14,012 --> 00:30:16,181
I'll show you that you don't belong.

736
00:30:19,117 --> 00:30:21,085
[Hank Walker's music plays]

737
00:30:21,152 --> 00:30:23,555
[Vic] During that watch party,
to hear something like that,

738
00:30:23,621 --> 00:30:27,158
Walker flat out just felt disrespected
leading into tonight.

739
00:30:27,225 --> 00:30:29,093
[Booker] Walker got disrespected?

740
00:30:29,160 --> 00:30:30,061
[bell rings]

741
00:30:30,128 --> 00:30:32,797
[Alicia] The following contest
is scheduled for one fall.

742
00:30:32,864 --> 00:30:34,032
Introducing first,

743
00:30:34,098 --> 00:30:36,467
Hank Walker.

744
00:30:36,534 --> 00:30:37,535
[Booker] You kidding me?

745
00:30:37,602 --> 00:30:39,037
[Vic] Walker did feel disrespected,

746
00:30:39,103 --> 00:30:40,572
and that is what has led to tonight.

747
00:30:40,638 --> 00:30:43,474
Walker, Dempsey, one-on-one next.

748
00:30:47,145 --> 00:30:49,414
[Scrypts] What it means to be a star.

749
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:52,383
The words you speak
ought to define who you truly are.

750
00:30:52,450 --> 00:30:55,486
That light come so quick,
but then it's gone.

751
00:30:55,553 --> 00:30:57,655
The language you write is more important

752
00:30:57,722 --> 00:30:59,424
than the canvas its written on.

753
00:31:00,325 --> 00:31:03,328
Mean what you say
because there's weight in your words.

754
00:31:03,394 --> 00:31:05,363
I grew up in a place
where everyone judged you

755
00:31:05,430 --> 00:31:07,699
on what they saw and not what they heard.

756
00:31:08,933 --> 00:31:10,802
NXT is now my new home.

757
00:31:11,803 --> 00:31:14,038
Same culture, just a different address,

758
00:31:14,105 --> 00:31:15,974
but a convenient one at that.

759
00:31:16,040 --> 00:31:18,743
There's only a chosen few
that get an unwarranted pass,

760
00:31:19,310 --> 00:31:21,679
but how much longer can that truly last?

761
00:31:21,746 --> 00:31:24,148
I must follow those with routine,

762
00:31:24,215 --> 00:31:27,652
but too much of the same things
make the old things feel new.

763
00:31:27,719 --> 00:31:30,688
So on this journey,
I must target the chosen ones.

764
00:31:30,755 --> 00:31:33,691
All the rest who are brought
in the dark and not the light,

765
00:31:33,758 --> 00:31:35,360
this is where our light is.

766
00:31:35,860 --> 00:31:38,229
Sincerely, Scrypts.

767
00:31:42,634 --> 00:31:45,103
[Charlie Dempsey's music plays]

768
00:31:45,169 --> 00:31:46,971
[Alicia] Making his way to the ring,

769
00:31:47,038 --> 00:31:48,940
Charlie Dempsey.

770
00:31:49,007 --> 00:31:50,742
[Booker] Vic, you said something.

771
00:31:50,808 --> 00:31:53,511
You said "disrespect",
Walker being disrespected.

772
00:31:53,578 --> 00:31:56,414
I beg to differ.

773
00:31:56,481 --> 00:31:59,117
This young man right here,
he has a pedigree.

774
00:31:59,183 --> 00:32:01,152
This man has wanted to do

775
00:32:01,219 --> 00:32:02,987
nothing but this.

776
00:32:03,054 --> 00:32:04,756
Right here, Charlie Dempsey.

777
00:32:04,822 --> 00:32:06,424
We're gonna see what's happening

778
00:32:06,491 --> 00:32:07,959
in a couple of minutes, dawg.

779
00:32:08,026 --> 00:32:10,094
[Vic] I don't take anything away
from Charlie.

780
00:32:10,161 --> 00:32:12,196
What he said to Walker was dis--

781
00:32:12,263 --> 00:32:13,665
"You don't belong here."

782
00:32:13,731 --> 00:32:16,634
[Booker] You think you get
in this ring at 24 years old,

783
00:32:16,701 --> 00:32:19,704
and you're gonna come in
and take food out of my mouth?

784
00:32:19,771 --> 00:32:22,140
I'm talking about food
off the table of my fam--

785
00:32:22,206 --> 00:32:23,207
it's not gonna happen.

786
00:32:23,274 --> 00:32:26,277
[Vic] So Walker can't come
and eat in his own right?

787
00:32:26,344 --> 00:32:27,478
He's a prideful man.

788
00:32:27,545 --> 00:32:30,248
[Booker] He got to earn
that spot more than anything.

789
00:32:30,315 --> 00:32:32,483
Vic, you just don't get it
in this business.

790
00:32:32,550 --> 00:32:35,053
[Vic] He remembers
the hardships of his father.

791
00:32:35,119 --> 00:32:37,956
As now Walker taking it
right into Dempsey.

792
00:32:38,022 --> 00:32:39,324
Right into the midsection.

793
00:32:39,390 --> 00:32:41,192
Showcasing some power as well.

794
00:32:41,259 --> 00:32:42,994
[Booker] This guy is country strong.

795
00:32:43,061 --> 00:32:44,595
I give him that, you know?

796
00:32:44,662 --> 00:32:47,098
But as far as being technically sound,

797
00:32:47,165 --> 00:32:49,200
as far as knowing every inch

798
00:32:49,267 --> 00:32:52,503
of that 20 by 20, at 24 years old

799
00:32:52,570 --> 00:32:54,272
first time inside the squared circle,

800
00:32:54,339 --> 00:32:55,907
there's no way, man.

801
00:32:55,974 --> 00:32:58,776
[Vic] Walker grinds it out every day
at the Performance Center.

802
00:32:58,843 --> 00:33:00,545
He's a former D1 football player,

803
00:33:00,611 --> 00:33:01,913
who has a four-year star--

804
00:33:01,980 --> 00:33:05,283
[Booker] Football?
Those guys are the hardest guys

805
00:33:05,350 --> 00:33:07,919
for me to train are football players.

806
00:33:07,985 --> 00:33:10,221
Those guys don't know
anything but X's and O's.

807
00:33:10,288 --> 00:33:11,589
Let me tell you something.

808
00:33:12,223 --> 00:33:14,359
This guy right here, Walker,

809
00:33:14,425 --> 00:33:15,960
is gonna feel a lot of pain

810
00:33:16,027 --> 00:33:17,695
by the end of this match up tonight.

811
00:33:17,762 --> 00:33:19,964
[Vic] You see him feeling pain
in that left wrist and hand,

812
00:33:20,031 --> 00:33:22,400
Dempsey sees the bullseye
on the body of Walker.

813
00:33:22,467 --> 00:33:24,102
[Booker] He's caught in that kimura.

814
00:33:24,168 --> 00:33:26,070
This right here is a technically skilled,

815
00:33:26,137 --> 00:33:28,039
educated grappler

816
00:33:28,106 --> 00:33:29,807
inside the square circle,

817
00:33:29,874 --> 00:33:31,576
and his name is Charlie Dempsey.

818
00:33:31,642 --> 00:33:32,944
There it is.

819
00:33:33,011 --> 00:33:34,612
[Vic] There's that power from Walker.

820
00:33:34,679 --> 00:33:36,948
So Walker wouldn't have
been welcomed in the locker room?

821
00:33:37,715 --> 00:33:39,784
He wouldn't have been around you, Book?

822
00:33:39,851 --> 00:33:41,652
[Booker] You've heard the stories.

823
00:33:41,719 --> 00:33:43,454
You've heard the stories.

824
00:33:43,521 --> 00:33:44,822
A guy like Walker

825
00:33:44,889 --> 00:33:46,958
would've had to dress in the locker room,

826
00:33:47,024 --> 00:33:49,160
or the restroom, or outside or something.

827
00:33:49,227 --> 00:33:50,895
He would've had to earn his way

828
00:33:50,962 --> 00:33:52,864
inside that locker room, man.

829
00:33:52,930 --> 00:33:55,400
Nice gut-wrench suplex
executed by Dempsey,

830
00:33:55,466 --> 00:33:57,301
who goes into the cover,
doesn't hook the leg,

831
00:33:57,368 --> 00:33:58,436
and gets a two-count.

832
00:33:58,503 --> 00:33:59,837
We talk about grinding.

833
00:33:59,904 --> 00:34:01,305
No doubt that it's Dempsey

834
00:34:01,372 --> 00:34:03,141
who grinds down his opponent,

835
00:34:03,207 --> 00:34:05,576
and again right now another submission.

836
00:34:05,643 --> 00:34:08,679
Bending back, trying
to hyperextend the elbow…

837
00:34:10,081 --> 00:34:10,915
of Walker.

838
00:34:10,982 --> 00:34:12,950
[Booker] Dempsey, he knows

839
00:34:13,017 --> 00:34:15,420
all the technical skills of the game.

840
00:34:15,486 --> 00:34:17,722
This is a guy
that's been grinding, like I say--

841
00:34:17,789 --> 00:34:19,157
[Vic] What does he see?

842
00:34:20,124 --> 00:34:21,993
That's… that's Drew Gulak.

843
00:34:22,060 --> 00:34:23,828
[Booker] What the hell is he doing here?

844
00:34:24,529 --> 00:34:27,031
[Vic] SmackDown's Drew Gulak is here,

845
00:34:27,999 --> 00:34:28,833
but why?

846
00:34:28,900 --> 00:34:31,536
Dempsey took his eye
off the ball for just a moment,

847
00:34:31,602 --> 00:34:32,737
and that moment,

848
00:34:32,804 --> 00:34:35,039
that little bit of hesitation
has opened the door.

849
00:34:35,106 --> 00:34:36,541
Oh, that just got closed.

850
00:34:36,607 --> 00:34:38,209
Look at swinging for the fences.

851
00:34:38,276 --> 00:34:39,744
[Booker] Beautiful forearms.

852
00:34:39,811 --> 00:34:42,313
Remind me of a fit Finlay,

853
00:34:42,380 --> 00:34:44,782
or a Dave Taylor just laying in thick.

854
00:34:44,849 --> 00:34:46,017
[Vic] Look at the bend.

855
00:34:46,951 --> 00:34:48,686
Look at the hyperextension now.

856
00:34:48,753 --> 00:34:50,321
Talk about joint manipulation.

857
00:34:50,388 --> 00:34:52,390
This is what Dempsey prides himself

858
00:34:52,457 --> 00:34:54,792
on grinding down, beating down.

859
00:34:54,859 --> 00:34:57,061
[Booker] He's working
that joint right there.

860
00:34:57,128 --> 00:34:58,696
Manipulating that joint

861
00:34:58,763 --> 00:35:03,434
like a police officer
taking you down, Vic.

862
00:35:03,501 --> 00:35:04,335
Here we go.

863
00:35:04,402 --> 00:35:06,137
[Vic] Walker now right back in,

864
00:35:06,204 --> 00:35:08,106
These press, and look at swinging now.

865
00:35:08,172 --> 00:35:10,508
You talk about swinging for the fences.
Look at Walker.

866
00:35:10,575 --> 00:35:12,343
Walker we talked about being angry,

867
00:35:12,410 --> 00:35:14,212
wanting to prove himself.

868
00:35:14,278 --> 00:35:16,547
He wants to prove himself
to Dempsey tonight.

869
00:35:16,614 --> 00:35:19,984
[Booker] Take nothing away Walker.
He's got a lot of heart.

870
00:35:20,051 --> 00:35:21,452
Man, you need that, Vic.

871
00:35:21,519 --> 00:35:22,987
You need that in this business.

872
00:35:23,054 --> 00:35:25,590
Like I said, Dempsey, he's what we call

873
00:35:25,656 --> 00:35:28,159
a precision tactician.

874
00:35:28,226 --> 00:35:29,527
[Vic] He can be whatever he wants to.

875
00:35:29,594 --> 00:35:32,930
Right now, he's on the wrong end
of a right forearm from Walker.

876
00:35:32,997 --> 00:35:35,166
Walker picking up some steam.

877
00:35:35,233 --> 00:35:36,834
Oh, got caught.

878
00:35:36,901 --> 00:35:39,804
Tipping the cap to Karl Gotch.

879
00:35:39,871 --> 00:35:42,840
[Booker] Let me tell you.
The thing is this.

880
00:35:42,907 --> 00:35:46,144
Walker, he could be
a great guy for all I know.

881
00:35:46,210 --> 00:35:49,046
He could be a great guy,
but so is my next-door neighbor.

882
00:35:49,113 --> 00:35:51,382
[Vic] Walker sensing
the desperation right now

883
00:35:51,449 --> 00:35:53,117
as another submission
was looked to locked in.

884
00:35:53,184 --> 00:35:56,120
Could've been looking
for that single-leg crab, was Dempsey,

885
00:35:56,187 --> 00:35:57,889
who now looks like
he might be switching plans

886
00:35:57,955 --> 00:36:00,158
to try and hyperextend the knee now.

887
00:36:00,224 --> 00:36:01,292
[Booker] Oh, man.

888
00:36:01,359 --> 00:36:03,628
I love this kid, Dempsey.

889
00:36:03,694 --> 00:36:05,396
[Vic] Did get the single-leg crab.

890
00:36:05,463 --> 00:36:07,565
[Booker] He's a throwback
to the Lou Thesz,

891
00:36:07,632 --> 00:36:09,934
the Frank Gotches of the world.

892
00:36:10,001 --> 00:36:12,303
They call those guys back then "hookers"

893
00:36:12,370 --> 00:36:13,971
and once you get hooked,

894
00:36:14,038 --> 00:36:15,840
you are hooked for good.

895
00:36:15,907 --> 00:36:17,575
We are going home, Vic.

896
00:36:17,642 --> 00:36:20,011
[Vic] The spine isn't supposed
to bend this way.

897
00:36:20,077 --> 00:36:21,812
[bell rings]

898
00:36:21,879 --> 00:36:24,182
[Charlie Dempsey's music plays]

899
00:36:24,248 --> 00:36:26,817
[Alicia] Here is your winner
by submission,

900
00:36:26,884 --> 00:36:29,320
Charlie Dempsey.

901
00:36:29,387 --> 00:36:30,788
[Vic] The question remains,

902
00:36:30,855 --> 00:36:32,623
why is Drew Gulak here?

903
00:36:33,691 --> 00:36:34,992
[Booker] Like I say, Vic.

904
00:36:35,059 --> 00:36:36,527
Once you're hooked,

905
00:36:36,594 --> 00:36:38,196
you are hooked.

906
00:36:38,262 --> 00:36:39,096
It's over.

907
00:36:39,630 --> 00:36:42,667
[Vic] You can say that again,
that was an impressive victory

908
00:36:42,733 --> 00:36:43,968
for Charlie Dempsey.

909
00:36:59,250 --> 00:37:01,519
[Zoey] Timing is everything
in this business,

910
00:37:02,119 --> 00:37:05,489
and there's no better time
for this Iron Survivor Challenge

911
00:37:05,556 --> 00:37:07,658
because this is my type of match.

912
00:37:09,727 --> 00:37:12,697
Last week, I was unanimously
voted in by the Hall of Famers.

913
00:37:12,763 --> 00:37:14,966
I'll tell you the Iron Survivor Challenge

914
00:37:15,032 --> 00:37:16,968
is made for Zoey Stark.

915
00:37:17,034 --> 00:37:18,636
I would've loved to wrestle her.

916
00:37:18,703 --> 00:37:20,571
Definitely ready for primetime.

917
00:37:22,006 --> 00:37:24,642
Whether I start it
or come in at the end of it,

918
00:37:24,709 --> 00:37:26,210
it doesn't make a difference,

919
00:37:27,278 --> 00:37:28,813
because the four other women,

920
00:37:28,879 --> 00:37:30,281
they can't touch me.

921
00:37:30,348 --> 00:37:33,484
On Saturday, I walk into Deadline
with no extra baggage,

922
00:37:33,551 --> 00:37:34,552
no dead weight.

923
00:37:34,619 --> 00:37:37,722
I don't have to worry
about being a mentor or a big sister.

924
00:37:38,990 --> 00:37:41,592
This Saturday is all about me.

925
00:37:42,927 --> 00:37:44,895
Twenty-five minutes separates me…

926
00:37:46,364 --> 00:37:47,431
from history.

927
00:37:51,002 --> 00:37:53,971
[Vic] History will indeed
be made this Saturday,

928
00:37:54,038 --> 00:37:56,040
but our NXT Tag Team champions

929
00:37:56,107 --> 00:37:58,109
want to spread some holiday cheer.

930
00:37:58,175 --> 00:38:00,878
Pretty Deadly will recite their version
of a real Christmas story

931
00:38:00,945 --> 00:38:02,913
next on NXT.

932
00:38:08,753 --> 00:38:10,221
Grayson Waller, later tonight

933
00:38:10,288 --> 00:38:13,190
all five superstars in the men's
Iron Survivor Challenge

934
00:38:13,257 --> 00:38:15,726
will be in the ring as you host
The Grayson Waller Effect.

935
00:38:15,793 --> 00:38:16,861
What can we expect?

936
00:38:16,927 --> 00:38:18,462
You've missed me, haven't you?

937
00:38:18,529 --> 00:38:19,930
Tonight's gonna be exciting.

938
00:38:19,997 --> 00:38:22,366
There's an energy around this place,
because in four days,

939
00:38:22,433 --> 00:38:24,335
it's the final WWE
premium live event of the year

940
00:38:24,402 --> 00:38:26,804
and we're going out
in grand style with Deadline.

941
00:38:27,672 --> 00:38:29,540
You don't have to soften me up, lass.

942
00:38:29,607 --> 00:38:32,176
You don't like my talk show,
The Grayson Waller Effect,

943
00:38:32,243 --> 00:38:35,046
it proves that I can do your job
better than you can,

944
00:38:35,112 --> 00:38:36,247
and you can't do my job

945
00:38:36,314 --> 00:38:38,883
because there's no one
who can do what I do.

946
00:38:38,949 --> 00:38:41,018
That is why I'm the odds-on favorite

947
00:38:41,085 --> 00:38:43,087
to be the very first Iron Survivor.

948
00:38:43,154 --> 00:38:44,488
But tonight,

949
00:38:44,555 --> 00:38:46,190
in the main event by the way,

950
00:38:46,257 --> 00:38:47,892
I wanna to see
where these guys' heads are at.

951
00:38:47,958 --> 00:38:49,694
I want to size them up, get a mental edge.

952
00:38:49,760 --> 00:38:52,863
Not that that'll be hard
because they're already nervous,

953
00:38:52,930 --> 00:38:55,366
because everyone is
when they feel the Grayson

954
00:38:56,067 --> 00:38:56,901
Waller…

955
00:38:58,969 --> 00:38:59,804
effect.

956
00:38:59,870 --> 00:39:01,038
[laughs]

957
00:39:05,209 --> 00:39:09,313
[Vic] I'm sure this is about to be
a holiday lesson.

958
00:39:09,380 --> 00:39:11,716
[Booker] Bring in
the Christmas cheer, man.

959
00:39:20,691 --> 00:39:23,894
-Ladies and gentlemen.
-Boys and girls.

960
00:39:23,961 --> 00:39:25,796
December's finally here, Kit.

961
00:39:25,863 --> 00:39:28,199
It's time for a real Christmas story

962
00:39:28,265 --> 00:39:31,535
with your NXT Tag Team champions,

963
00:39:31,602 --> 00:39:33,938
Pretty Deadly.

964
00:39:34,805 --> 00:39:36,040
Come on, Eli.

965
00:39:36,107 --> 00:39:37,241
Let's get comfortable.

966
00:39:37,308 --> 00:39:39,276
Oh, I wish we had some hot choccy, boy.

967
00:39:41,746 --> 00:39:44,982
A special story
on this Saint Nicholas' day.

968
00:39:45,049 --> 00:39:47,351
-May I?
-Please do.

969
00:39:53,257 --> 00:39:54,592
Now, remember,

970
00:39:54,658 --> 00:39:57,261
we wrote this ourselves.

971
00:39:57,328 --> 00:39:58,829
We absolutely did.

972
00:39:59,597 --> 00:40:01,899
[clearing throats]

973
00:40:03,033 --> 00:40:04,969
Twas the night before Christmas

974
00:40:05,035 --> 00:40:07,271
and all through the house.

975
00:40:07,338 --> 00:40:09,306
Not a creature was stirring,

976
00:40:09,373 --> 00:40:11,575
not even a mouse.

977
00:40:11,642 --> 00:40:15,279
The Kitster and Ellie
were tucked up, ready for bed.

978
00:40:15,346 --> 00:40:19,250
But those devilishly handsome boys
decided to stay up instead.

979
00:40:20,184 --> 00:40:22,787
Their bulging sacks overflowed…

980
00:40:24,655 --> 00:40:25,489
with gifts.

981
00:40:25,556 --> 00:40:28,859
-It was gifts.
-With gifts from their legions of fans.

982
00:40:28,926 --> 00:40:33,230
But they couldn't bear to handle anything
touched by their filthy hands.

983
00:40:34,064 --> 00:40:37,568
The holiday season
should be a time to give thanks.

984
00:40:37,635 --> 00:40:40,070
So lease, to your knees, if you please,

985
00:40:40,137 --> 00:40:43,641
and worship your glorious Tag Team champs.

986
00:40:44,542 --> 00:40:48,579
Back to this yuletide Eve
and those tasty British snacks.

987
00:40:48,646 --> 00:40:51,916
Who won their gold
by putting everyone on their backs?

988
00:40:51,982 --> 00:40:54,485
We're desperately and patiently waiting

989
00:40:54,552 --> 00:40:56,420
for the greatest gift of all.

990
00:40:56,487 --> 00:41:00,825
It's not that you people
stop saying soccer because it's football.

991
00:41:00,891 --> 00:41:02,159
Elton, please.

992
00:41:02,226 --> 00:41:05,396
-Elton, it's Christmas.
-It's Christmas, I'm sorry.

993
00:41:05,462 --> 00:41:07,932
That's a problem for another day, Kit.

994
00:41:07,998 --> 00:41:10,134
They wanted something that they've craved

995
00:41:10,201 --> 00:41:11,669
for the longest of times.

996
00:41:11,735 --> 00:41:15,406
It's not just to be on TV
telling a story that rhymes.

997
00:41:15,473 --> 00:41:17,374
[laughs] For the longest time,

998
00:41:17,441 --> 00:41:21,045
it's something that nobody in NXT
has been able to bring.

999
00:41:21,111 --> 00:41:24,849
And it's to be able to match us
blow for blow in this very ring.

1000
00:41:25,716 --> 00:41:26,717
Wow.

1001
00:41:26,784 --> 00:41:29,186
We begged and pleaded with Santa Claus

1002
00:41:29,253 --> 00:41:31,322
and put it all in a letter.

1003
00:41:31,388 --> 00:41:35,526
But good old Saint Nick isn't stupid,
he knows nobody's better.

1004
00:41:37,061 --> 00:41:37,895
Wow.

1005
00:41:38,596 --> 00:41:39,897
So this Christmas,

1006
00:41:39,964 --> 00:41:43,968
we are the greatest,
tastiest gifts for you all.

1007
00:41:44,034 --> 00:41:48,005
As the cold chill of winter
creeps in from the fall.

1008
00:41:48,072 --> 00:41:51,308
Tag Team champions who will never,

1009
00:41:51,375 --> 00:41:56,080
ever, ever, ever lose.

1010
00:41:56,146 --> 00:41:57,548
Who have beaten everyone

1011
00:41:57,615 --> 00:42:00,684
without receiving even
the slightest of bruise?

1012
00:42:06,457 --> 00:42:10,160
So Santa can't save you.

1013
00:42:10,794 --> 00:42:12,897
There's no Christmas cheer.

1014
00:42:12,963 --> 00:42:16,634
Twenty twenty-three
will be the same as 2022,

1015
00:42:19,203 --> 00:42:21,238
Pretty Deadly's year.

1016
00:42:23,374 --> 00:42:25,376
-Merry Christmas, Kit.
-Merry Christmas.

1017
00:42:27,478 --> 00:42:28,479
[Vic] Wow.

1018
00:42:29,179 --> 00:42:30,381
[Booker] Wow.

1019
00:42:30,881 --> 00:42:33,884
[The New Day's music plays]

1020
00:42:34,952 --> 00:42:35,953
[Vic] Wait.

1021
00:42:36,020 --> 00:42:37,988
[Booker] Whoa, hold up.

1022
00:42:38,055 --> 00:42:39,156
[Vic] No way.

1023
00:42:39,223 --> 00:42:41,025
[Booker] Hold the damn phone.

1024
00:42:41,091 --> 00:42:42,626
What are they doing here?

1025
00:42:46,964 --> 00:42:48,098
[Vic laughs]

1026
00:42:48,933 --> 00:42:49,934
[Booker] No.

1027
00:42:50,000 --> 00:42:52,102
[Vic] Now, I'm in
the Christmas spirit, Book.

1028
00:42:52,169 --> 00:42:53,537
[Booker] No, man.

1029
00:42:56,941 --> 00:42:58,375
Yes.

1030
00:42:58,442 --> 00:43:00,177
Wow!

1031
00:43:00,244 --> 00:43:03,013
[crowd cheers]

1032
00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:05,382
First and foremost, I mean, hey,

1033
00:43:05,449 --> 00:43:07,551
what an amazing story.

1034
00:43:07,618 --> 00:43:09,987
Was that not a great story? Wow.

1035
00:43:10,054 --> 00:43:13,490
[audience] New Day rocks!

1036
00:43:21,865 --> 00:43:23,667
But boys,

1037
00:43:23,734 --> 00:43:27,671
the story that we wanna hear
talks about who?

1038
00:43:27,738 --> 00:43:31,075
[audience] Who?

1039
00:43:31,141 --> 00:43:34,678
Who you're gonna be defending
those titles against

1040
00:43:34,745 --> 00:43:36,347
this Saturday at Deadline?

1041
00:43:36,413 --> 00:43:38,882
[crowd cheers]

1042
00:43:38,949 --> 00:43:42,486
You beat everybody already, right?

1043
00:43:42,553 --> 00:43:44,622
That's what you said. You beat everybody.

1044
00:43:44,688 --> 00:43:45,956
[Woods] Well, well, well.

1045
00:43:46,023 --> 00:43:48,959
They beat everybody
except your boys, The…

1046
00:43:49,026 --> 00:43:50,794
[crowd yells] New Day!

1047
00:43:51,829 --> 00:43:53,897
[crowd cheers]

1048
00:43:55,265 --> 00:43:57,101
Yes, boys.

1049
00:43:58,035 --> 00:43:59,703
So why don't you two

1050
00:43:59,770 --> 00:44:04,008
put those Tag Team titles
on the line this Saturday

1051
00:44:05,943 --> 00:44:08,879
so that we can hurry up and become

1052
00:44:08,946 --> 00:44:13,717
your new W… W… E…

1053
00:44:13,784 --> 00:44:16,353
N… X… T…

1054
00:44:16,420 --> 00:44:19,156
World… Tag… Team…

1055
00:44:23,193 --> 00:44:24,461
[Vic] Can you believe it?

1056
00:44:24,528 --> 00:44:25,562
Kofi,

1057
00:44:25,629 --> 00:44:26,563
Woods,

1058
00:44:26,630 --> 00:44:29,166
The New Day, they're on NXT.

1059
00:44:30,534 --> 00:44:31,802
[Booker] I can't believe it.

-[Booker] Oh, come on.

1063
00:44:40,110 --> 00:44:41,779
[Vic] This is some holiday cheer.

1065
00:44:55,059 --> 00:44:57,861
[Vic] Christmas is saved by The New Day.

[Booker] What are you talking about?
A couple of camera hogs.

Oh, Book.

Man.

1078

[Vic] We could be looking into the future.

1079
00:45:26,824 --> 00:45:29,560
[Booker] Come on, man.
Ain't nothing right about this.

1080
00:45:29,626 --> 00:45:31,795
[Vic] Everything's right about it.

1081
00:45:31,862 --> 00:45:33,464
[Booker] Nothing at all.

1082
00:45:33,530 --> 00:45:34,531
No prep.

1083
00:45:35,699 --> 00:45:36,700
Come on.

I hope you're watching.

1089

[McKenzie] Javi.

1090
00:46:17,174 --> 00:46:18,008
Hey, Javi.

1091
00:46:20,144 --> 00:46:22,679
McKenzie, you scared the crap out of me.

1092
00:46:22,746 --> 00:46:24,948
You can't be sneaking up
on people like that.

1093
00:46:25,015 --> 00:46:27,184
Sorry. Not really.

1094
00:46:27,251 --> 00:46:28,752
Why were you looking over your shoulder?

1095
00:46:28,819 --> 00:46:30,420
Were you looking for Indus Sher?

1096
00:46:31,288 --> 00:46:33,190
Why would I be looking for Indus Sher?

1097
00:46:33,257 --> 00:46:35,058
I wasn't looking over my shoulder.

1098
00:46:35,125 --> 00:46:37,361
You clearly were looking
over your shoulder.

1099
00:46:38,462 --> 00:46:40,597
McKenzie, that's incredibly insensitive.

1100
00:46:40,664 --> 00:46:42,266
I have an uncontrollable twitch.

1101
00:46:42,332 --> 00:46:45,002
Besides, "Big Body" Javi
ain't scared of nothing.

1102
00:46:45,502 --> 00:46:47,571
Yes, you literally were just scared two--

1103
00:46:47,638 --> 00:46:48,739
You know what?

1104
00:46:48,806 --> 00:46:49,873
Honestly, never mind.

1105
00:46:49,940 --> 00:46:52,476
That's exactly what Sanga and Veer said

1106
00:46:52,543 --> 00:46:54,444
when they took one long look at Javi.

1107
00:46:54,511 --> 00:46:55,512
They said, "never mind."

1108
00:46:55,579 --> 00:46:56,980
They don't want none of this.

1109
00:46:57,047 --> 00:46:59,783
That's not what it looked like at all.
Literally at all.

1110
00:46:59,850 --> 00:47:03,420
Your opinion doesn't count
because you're anti "Big Body" Javi.

1111
00:47:03,487 --> 00:47:05,756
I need someone a bit more unbiased, okay?

1112
00:47:05,823 --> 00:47:08,158
Okay, well, let's see.

1113
00:47:08,225 --> 00:47:09,059
Hey, Jiro.

1114
00:47:09,126 --> 00:47:10,527
Can I borrow you real quick?

1115
00:47:10,594 --> 00:47:12,396
-What's up?
-What's up?

1116
00:47:12,462 --> 00:47:13,497
Quick question.

1117
00:47:13,564 --> 00:47:15,465
What do you think of Javier Bernal?

1118
00:47:18,902 --> 00:47:21,004
Don't say the question, McKenzie.

1119
00:47:21,071 --> 00:47:21,905
Jiro,

1120
00:47:22,706 --> 00:47:25,075
what do you think about "Big Body" Javi?

1121
00:47:25,909 --> 00:47:28,512

1124
00:47:33,317 --> 00:47:34,284
My point exactly.

-Yes.

You put him up to that.

Introducing first,

1135
00:47:50,234 --> 00:47:52,169
representing Chase University,

1136
00:47:52,236 --> 00:47:54,371
Thea Hail.

1138

to turn around Chase U's night.

1142
00:48:26,336 --> 00:48:29,072
Isla Dawn.

1143
00:48:29,139 --> 00:48:30,741
[Vic] A woman who sees beauty

1144
00:48:30,807 --> 00:48:33,210
in disaster and chaos.

1145
00:48:33,277 --> 00:48:37,214
And Book, this is the NXT
in-ring debut for Isla Dawn.

1146
00:48:37,948 --> 00:48:39,383
[Booker] Yes, indeed.

1147
00:48:39,449 --> 00:48:42,319
My first time being able to sit ringside.

1148
00:48:42,386 --> 00:48:45,422
I don't know a whole lot about Isla Dawn

1149
00:48:45,489 --> 00:48:49,126
other than she made
that unexpected entrance.

Vic, you gotta fill me in, man.

1153
00:48:57,334 --> 00:48:59,603
[Vic] I think she might
have put a hex on you.

1154
00:48:59,670 --> 00:49:00,837
How about that?

1155
00:49:00,904 --> 00:49:02,739
[Booker laughs] I'll take it.

1156
00:49:02,806 --> 00:49:03,674
[Vic] What?

1157
00:49:04,942 --> 00:49:06,476
You're out there tonight, Book.

1158
00:49:06,543 --> 00:49:10,047
You must be hitting the egg nog
a little bit too soon before Christmas.

1159
00:49:10,113 --> 00:49:11,248
[Booker] Hey, man.

1160
00:49:11,315 --> 00:49:14,785
Isla Dawn, she has something,
that mist, of course,

1161
00:49:14,851 --> 00:49:18,722
but let's see exactly what she's made of
inside the squared circle.

1162
00:49:18,789 --> 00:49:19,790
You know what?

1163
00:49:19,856 --> 00:49:21,291
I agree with Duke Hudson,

1164
00:49:21,358 --> 00:49:25,529
this right here
was a rash decision by Chase.

1165
00:49:25,595 --> 00:49:29,199
I wouldn't put Thea in this position.

1166
00:49:29,266 --> 00:49:32,202
[Vic] Do you think Andre Chase
is in the right mindset,

1167
00:49:32,269 --> 00:49:35,372
as we can see him
right up across from us right now,

1168
00:49:35,439 --> 00:49:37,607
after his match up earlier tonight?

1169
00:49:37,674 --> 00:49:39,142
[Booker] They say with fighters,

1170
00:49:39,209 --> 00:49:43,246
you never wanna interview a fighter
after he just got knocked out.

1171
00:49:43,313 --> 00:49:45,916
You don't wanna make decisions like this

1172
00:49:45,982 --> 00:49:48,051
after a loss like that, Vic.

1173
00:49:48,118 --> 00:49:50,320
[Vic] There you see Chase
maybe realizing what he has done

1174
00:49:50,387 --> 00:49:53,123
because Isla Dawn has said
the spirits guide her

1175
00:49:53,190 --> 00:49:55,959
and she is taking it
right to Hail here tonight.

1176
00:49:56,026 --> 00:49:59,029
The unholy enchantress is Isla Dawn.

1177
00:49:59,096 --> 00:50:01,198
Single-handedly,
you already brought it up,

1178
00:50:01,264 --> 00:50:02,966
single-handedly by the way,

1179
00:50:03,033 --> 00:50:05,502
altered the course
of the women's division.

1180
00:50:05,569 --> 00:50:07,170
She did that at Halloween Havoc.

1181
00:50:07,237 --> 00:50:08,405
[Booker] She's different.

1182
00:50:08,472 --> 00:50:12,009
Prince had a quote,
"pain before pleasure",

1183
00:50:12,075 --> 00:50:14,511
that was my claim to fame.

1184
00:50:14,578 --> 00:50:16,213
Wow, what a quote.

1185
00:50:16,279 --> 00:50:17,914
That's Isla Dawn.

1186
00:50:17,981 --> 00:50:19,449
[Vic] It was Hail who said

1187
00:50:19,516 --> 00:50:22,185
she felt super ready for this match up.

1188
00:50:22,252 --> 00:50:24,921
Hail right now hasn't even
really been able

1189
00:50:24,988 --> 00:50:26,990
to get out of the block against Dawn.

1190
00:50:27,057 --> 00:50:30,927
[Booker] This was a bad,
bad match up for Thea.

1191
00:50:30,994 --> 00:50:33,663
You can blame only one person for this.

1192
00:50:33,730 --> 00:50:35,332
Chase, Andre Chase,

1193
00:50:35,399 --> 00:50:38,502
that's the only person
you can blame for something like this.

1194
00:50:39,970 --> 00:50:42,439
[Vic] Dawn just glancing over
at Hudson and Chase,

1195
00:50:42,506 --> 00:50:46,777
almost a sickening look in her eye

1196
00:50:46,843 --> 00:50:49,479
as she continues
to take it to Hail in this match up,

1197
00:50:49,546 --> 00:50:52,749
but now Hail starting to fight back
a little bit in this match up.

1198
00:50:52,816 --> 00:50:55,218
Now is stringing together
a little bit of offense

1199
00:50:55,285 --> 00:50:56,820
and starting to put
momentum into this match.

1200
00:50:56,887 --> 00:50:59,489
[Booker] All those situations.
Fight or flight.

1201

I'm from Texas right here.

1202
00:51:00,924 --> 00:51:02,225
Stand your ground,

1203
00:51:02,292 --> 00:51:05,228
and that's what Thea Hail
is doing right now, man.

1204
00:51:05,295 --> 00:51:07,464
[Vic] Student section trying to rally.

1205
00:51:07,531 --> 00:51:10,467
Hail right now trying to give her
some extra support.

1206
00:51:10,534 --> 00:51:12,269
Oh, big suplex.

1207
00:51:13,303 --> 00:51:15,972
What it would do for Chase U,

1208
00:51:16,039 --> 00:51:17,307
what it would do for Hail

1209
00:51:17,374 --> 00:51:20,844
if she's able to knock off
Isla Dawn in her debut.

1210
00:51:20,911 --> 00:51:22,479
What a near fall.

1211
00:51:22,546 --> 00:51:26,083
This is not the in-ring debut
that Isla Dawn was looking for.

1212
00:51:26,149 --> 00:51:28,752
-[Booker] Needs to keep the pressure on.
-[Vic] Who's she talking to?

1213
00:51:28,819 --> 00:51:30,954
[Booker] Sometimes you go
in your own zone.

1214
00:51:31,955 --> 00:51:32,823
[Vic] Oh!

1215
00:51:34,791 --> 00:51:37,761
We've seen Dawn in the past in NXT UK,

1216
00:51:37,828 --> 00:51:41,131
and certainly bringing
her fighting spirit here tonight.

1217
00:51:41,198 --> 00:51:43,066

1218
00:51:43,133 --> 00:51:44,935
-[Vic] Bam!
-[Booker] Oh, wow.

1219
00:51:46,269 --> 00:51:48,839

1220
00:51:48,905 --> 00:51:51,274
[Vic] I don't think Chase realized

1221
00:51:51,341 --> 00:51:53,210
what Thea Hail got herself into.

1222
00:51:53,276 --> 00:51:54,611
[Booker] Let me tell you.

1223
00:51:54,678 --> 00:51:57,814
Isla Dawn seems to like every bit of this.

1224
00:51:57,881 --> 00:51:58,949

1228
00:52:12,963 --> 00:52:14,664
[Vic] You said you never seen her.

1229
00:52:14,731 --> 00:52:16,299
What are your thoughts?

1230
00:52:16,366 --> 00:52:17,734
You almost seem shook?

1231
00:52:17,801 --> 00:52:19,069
[Booker] You know what?

1232
00:52:19,136 --> 00:52:20,971
I'm liking everything.

1233
00:52:21,037 --> 00:52:23,039
Vic, when I say everything,

1234
00:52:23,106 --> 00:52:25,809
I mean everything about Isla Dawn.

1235
00:52:25,876 --> 00:52:27,410
Check this out right here.

1236
00:52:27,477 --> 00:52:29,446
[Vic] Isla Dawn sending a message.

1237
00:52:30,180 --> 00:52:34,050
Looking Andre Chase
and Duke Hudson right in the eye.

1238
00:52:34,117 --> 00:52:36,553
[Booker] Who do you blame, Vic?

1239
00:52:36,620 --> 00:52:37,521
Who do you blame?

1240
00:52:38,455 --> 00:52:40,857
[Vic] I don't think Chase
in his right mindset,

1241
00:52:40,924 --> 00:52:43,260
but impressive debut for

1242
00:52:44,461 --> 00:52:45,829
Isla Dawn

1243
00:52:46,930 --> 00:52:48,565
here tonight.

1244
00:52:53,203 --> 00:52:54,538
Alba Fyre.

1245
00:52:54,604 --> 00:52:57,207
[Booker] Where there's smoke,
there's Fyre.

1246
00:52:57,274 --> 00:52:59,142
[Vic] Alba been waiting to get her hands

1247
00:52:59,209 --> 00:53:01,211
since Halloween Havoc on Isla Dawn.

1248
00:53:01,278 --> 00:53:02,379
We need some help.

1249
00:53:02,445 --> 00:53:04,247
We need more than one referee.

1250
00:53:04,314 --> 00:53:06,082
Finally, the referees clearing out.

1251
00:53:06,149 --> 00:53:07,551
[Booker] Vic, what is this?

1252
00:53:08,585 --> 00:53:10,086
[Vic] It's all about Alba Fyre

1253
00:53:10,153 --> 00:53:12,522
coming close to winning
the NXT Women's title,

1254
00:53:12,589 --> 00:53:13,924
and Isla Dawn

1255
00:53:13,990 --> 00:53:16,092
picking the right time in her own mind

1256
00:53:16,159 --> 00:53:18,194
to ruin Fyre's opportunity.

1257
00:53:18,261 --> 00:53:19,996
[Booker laughs]

1258
00:53:20,897 --> 00:53:22,399
[Vic] And this-- Oh!

1259
00:53:24,034 --> 00:53:25,135
That poison mist.

1260
00:53:28,038 --> 00:53:30,807
Dawn has ignited a fury

1261
00:53:30,874 --> 00:53:32,842
never before seen in Fyre.

1262
00:53:32,909 --> 00:53:35,912
A biblical wrath could be coming to NXT.

1263
00:53:52,229 --> 00:53:54,531
The first rule in business, G,

1264
00:53:54,598 --> 00:53:56,733
if you can't spot the lamb at the table,

1265
00:53:56,800 --> 00:53:58,201
then you're the lamb.

1266
00:53:58,268 --> 00:54:00,971
And I see four lambs on Saturday.

1267
00:54:01,037 --> 00:54:02,939
What do we do with lambs?

1268
00:54:03,006 --> 00:54:04,441
They get slaughtered.

1269
00:54:05,942 --> 00:54:07,377
Do you smell that, G?

1270
00:54:07,444 --> 00:54:09,045
[rock music plays]

1271
00:54:09,112 --> 00:54:11,748
There's nothing like
the smell of strategy.

1272
00:54:11,815 --> 00:54:13,550
This Iron Survivor Challenge

1273
00:54:13,617 --> 00:54:15,552
is not about pride or ego.

1274
00:54:15,619 --> 00:54:17,320
It's all about strategy,

1275
00:54:17,387 --> 00:54:20,223
and that advantage belongs to me.

1276
00:54:20,290 --> 00:54:21,558
Knowing when to strike,

1277
00:54:21,625 --> 00:54:24,828
and when to sit back
and let the others make mistakes.

1278
00:54:24,894 --> 00:54:26,463
I will send each of them

1279
00:54:26,529 --> 00:54:29,299
one by one to the penalty box,

1280
00:54:29,366 --> 00:54:32,168
and I will watch the clock
tick down to my victory.

1281
00:54:32,235 --> 00:54:33,903
Like a New Year's Eve party.

1282
00:54:33,970 --> 00:54:36,139
Speaking of parties,
did you get that catering order?

1283
00:54:36,206 --> 00:54:37,207
Yes, check.

1284
00:54:37,274 --> 00:54:39,175
What about drinks?
That soda water that I like.

1285
00:54:39,242 --> 00:54:40,377
Got it.

1286
00:54:40,443 --> 00:54:43,046
That thing I told you about,
it's really important.

1287
00:54:43,113 --> 00:54:45,148
Yes, Ms. James.

1288
00:54:45,215 --> 00:54:46,883
It's ready.

1289
00:54:46,950 --> 00:54:48,151
Perfect.

1290
00:54:48,218 --> 00:54:50,920
G, I can turn dirt into diamonds

1291
00:54:50,987 --> 00:54:52,589
and sand into gold,

1292
00:54:52,656 --> 00:54:55,358
and I will turn winning
the Iron Survivor Challenge

1293
00:54:55,425 --> 00:54:58,762
into Women's Championship gold.

1294
00:54:58,828 --> 00:55:00,964
Yes, Ms. James. Thank you.

1295
00:55:03,333 --> 00:55:05,068

1297
00:55:08,238 --> 00:55:09,372
No, I'm not available.

1298
00:55:09,439 --> 00:55:11,541
I have NXT Deadline this Saturday.

1299
00:55:11,608 --> 00:55:12,542
Idiot.

1300
00:55:14,077 --> 00:55:16,813
[Vic] James seems very confident

1301
00:55:16,880 --> 00:55:18,682
heading in to Saturday.

[Alicia] The following contest
is a Tag Team match

1304
00:55:23,586 --> 00:55:24,954
scheduled for one fall.

1305
00:55:25,021 --> 00:55:26,056
Introducing first,

1306
00:55:26,122 --> 00:55:28,958
Josh Briggs and Brooks Jensen.

1307
00:55:29,025 --> 00:55:30,760
[Vic] An altercation over the weekend,

1308
00:55:30,827 --> 00:55:33,163
some would say
was just a miscommunication,

1309
00:55:33,229 --> 00:55:36,733
has led to this Tag Team
match up next on NXT.

1310

[Lyra speaking foreign language]

1312
00:55:54,317 --> 00:55:57,754
There comes a time
when a bird stops circling its prey,

1313
00:55:58,321 --> 00:56:00,790
when it should be swift and decisive.

1314
00:56:00,857 --> 00:56:02,792
This is my home now.

1315
00:56:02,859 --> 00:56:05,729
Next week, I descend on NXT.

1316
00:56:05,795 --> 00:56:10,133
Prepare to witness
the rise of Lyra Valkyria.

1317

[Enofe & Malik's music plays]

1318
00:56:20,910 --> 00:56:22,912
[Alicia] Accompanied by Odyssey Jones,

1319
00:56:22,979 --> 00:56:25,482
the team of Malik Blade

1320
00:56:25,548 --> 00:56:29,185
and Edris Enofe.

1321
00:56:29,919 --> 00:56:32,922
[Vic] Here comes the duo
who has added Odyssey Jones.

1322
00:56:32,989 --> 00:56:34,858
They have become quite the trio

1323
00:56:34,924 --> 00:56:36,926
and getting in the ring tonight,

1324
00:56:36,993 --> 00:56:39,529
it might just be what Blade needs.

1325
00:56:39,596 --> 00:56:40,964
He's had a rough few weeks.

1326
00:56:41,030 --> 00:56:42,866
[Booker] I don't know. I'm suspect.

1327
00:56:42,932 --> 00:56:46,369
I do know something
about Odyssey Jones, he's a party.

1328
00:56:46,436 --> 00:56:48,438
This guy knows how to have a lot of fun.

1329
00:56:48,505 --> 00:56:52,275
Those guys aren't high on my list, Vic.

1330
00:56:52,342 --> 00:56:54,210
I just gotta say it like it is.

1331
00:56:54,277 --> 00:56:56,346
-[Vic] Why?
-[Booker] It's about business.

1332
00:56:56,413 --> 00:56:58,081
[Booker] Taking care of business.

1333
00:56:58,148 --> 00:57:00,116
It's not about fun. I've never had fun.

1334
00:57:00,183 --> 00:57:01,451
Not a day in my life.

1335
00:57:01,518 --> 00:57:02,752
It's about business.

1336
00:57:02,819 --> 00:57:05,255
Even sitting here with you,
I'm not having fun.

1337
00:57:05,321 --> 00:57:06,156
I'm working.

1338
00:57:06,222 --> 00:57:08,525
[Vic] What do you mean
not having fun with me?

1339
00:57:08,591 --> 00:57:09,692
This isn't fun?

1340
00:57:09,759 --> 00:57:11,528
This is a job. I came to work.

1341
00:57:11,594 --> 00:57:13,997
[Vic] Boy, you're really
turning into the grinch.

1342
00:57:14,063 --> 00:57:16,699
I'm gonna tell you that,
as we're headed into the holidays.

1343
00:57:16,766 --> 00:57:19,135
And right off the rip, look at Enofe.

1344
00:57:19,202 --> 00:57:20,703
When we talk about Enofe, Blade,

1345
00:57:20,770 --> 00:57:22,739
we talk about Briggs and Jensen.

1346
00:57:22,806 --> 00:57:25,175
That's all it was,
miscommunication after a match.

1347
00:57:25,241 --> 00:57:27,710
[Booker] I like Enofe.
The kid's got a lot of talent.

1348
00:57:27,777 --> 00:57:29,612
[Vic] You just don't like Blade?

1349
00:57:29,679 --> 00:57:31,948
[Booker] I like a team
that's gonna go there

1350
00:57:32,015 --> 00:57:33,383
and take care of business.

1351
00:57:33,450 --> 00:57:36,219
That's what I want to see
more than anything, Vic.

1352
00:57:36,286 --> 00:57:38,488
[Vic] We should note
this is the first time,

1353
00:57:38,555 --> 00:57:39,989
and I'm bringing it up for Blade.

1354
00:57:40,056 --> 00:57:41,958
As Blade and Enofe in control.

1355
00:57:42,025 --> 00:57:44,327
First time we've seen Blade not wear

1356
00:57:44,394 --> 00:57:46,062
his father's sweater to the ring.

1357
00:57:46,129 --> 00:57:48,498
He is focused,
maybe that's something he needs.

1358
00:57:48,565 --> 00:57:51,401
[Booker] First thing I noticed
was the tights, the gear.

1359
00:57:51,468 --> 00:57:54,237
Looks like he's ready
to take care of business

1360
00:57:54,304 --> 00:57:57,974
to pull off moves like that
at a very, very high level, Vic.

1361
00:57:58,041 --> 00:57:59,242
That's what I wanna see.

1362
00:57:59,309 --> 00:58:01,044
[Vic] Into the cover, impressive dropkick.

1363
00:58:01,110 --> 00:58:03,413
Hook of the leg, and a near fall.

1364
00:58:04,247 --> 00:58:05,448
You talk about partying.

1365
00:58:05,515 --> 00:58:08,818
It looks like Enofe and Blade,
have thrown that all out the window.

1366
00:58:08,885 --> 00:58:10,086
Look at the precision--

1367
00:58:10,153 --> 00:58:12,222
[Booker] Getting rid of that damn sweater

1368
00:58:12,288 --> 00:58:15,725
probably was the best thing
for his career.

1369
00:58:15,792 --> 00:58:16,926
Trust me on that, Vic.

1370
00:58:16,993 --> 00:58:17,827
Trust me.

1371
00:58:17,894 --> 00:58:19,996
[Vic] Let's talk about this match too
because at the heart of it

1372
00:58:20,063 --> 00:58:23,833
we saw Pretty Deadly
earlier tonight still in shock

1373
00:58:23,900 --> 00:58:27,103
that we saw The New Day
throw down the Challenge

1374
00:58:27,170 --> 00:58:28,571
for the NXT Tag Team titles,

1375
00:58:28,638 --> 00:58:30,073
but this is also about leverage

1376
00:58:30,139 --> 00:58:33,109
in the ultra-competitive
Tag Team division.

1377
00:58:33,176 --> 00:58:34,644
[Booker] It is about leverage.

1378
00:58:34,711 --> 00:58:36,679
It's about working as a team

1379
00:58:36,746 --> 00:58:40,683
and trying to do
something very, very special.

1380
00:58:41,551 --> 00:58:44,020
[Vic] A tag was made.
Jensen's gonna come right back in.

1381
00:58:44,087 --> 00:58:47,590
Briggs and Jensen, former NXT
UK Tag Team champions.

1382
00:58:47,657 --> 00:58:49,626
Certainly have worn gold in the past.

1383
00:58:49,692 --> 00:58:52,529
I wanna go back
to that TikTok from Sol Ruca.

1384
00:58:52,595 --> 00:58:54,163
Briggs and Jensen were looking,

1385
00:58:54,230 --> 00:58:56,432
just trying to lift the spirits

1386
00:58:56,499 --> 00:58:58,835
of Blade and Eno--

1387
00:58:58,902 --> 00:59:00,603
Wait a minute. What's G doing now?

1388
00:59:02,372 --> 00:59:04,874
-[Booker] What's that?
-[Vic] Putting an envelope--

1389
00:59:04,941 --> 00:59:07,544
[Vic] I think that was in Jensen's jacket.

1390
00:59:07,610 --> 00:59:09,946
Jensen certainly was caught off guard,

1391
00:59:10,013 --> 00:59:12,148
he's gotta refocus himself right now

1392
00:59:12,215 --> 00:59:15,385
as he's still looking over here,
a tag was made, in comes Enofe.

1393
00:59:15,451 --> 00:59:17,553
[Booker] Hard to focus when you got

1394
00:59:17,620 --> 00:59:20,390
hottie biscottis running around.

1395
00:59:20,456 --> 00:59:22,158
[Vic] Let's refocus on the match.

1396
00:59:22,225 --> 00:59:24,260
Enofe right now is hitting
anything that moves.

1397
00:59:24,327 --> 00:59:26,029
Blade helping him out.

1398
00:59:26,095 --> 00:59:26,996
Blade now.

1399
00:59:27,063 --> 00:59:28,698
-[Booker] Whoa.
-[Vic] Whoa.

1400
00:59:28,765 --> 00:59:31,501
[Booker] High-risk maneuver
paid off, though.

1401
00:59:31,567 --> 00:59:33,503
It paid off for Blade, wow.

1402
00:59:35,305 --> 00:59:37,206
[Vic] Big knee from Enofe.

1403
00:59:37,273 --> 00:59:39,242
[Booker] That's what I'm talking about.

1404
00:59:39,309 --> 00:59:41,844
This is what I like to see as a Tag Team.

1405
00:59:41,911 --> 00:59:44,614
These guys going out here
and taking care of business.

1406
00:59:44,681 --> 00:59:45,748
Enofe looking to fly.

1407
00:59:45,815 --> 00:59:47,817
Connects with that elbow. Into the cover.

1408
00:59:47,884 --> 00:59:51,587
Hooks the leg, and it's still not enough.

1409
00:59:51,654 --> 00:59:53,256
I mean, Book, take another look

1410
00:59:53,323 --> 00:59:56,059
at the height from Enofe.

1411
00:59:57,126 --> 01:00:00,396
Stuck the landing as well
and almost had a huge win

1412
01:00:00,463 --> 01:00:03,800
and how big would a victory
be tonight for Blade and Enofe?

1413
01:00:03,866 --> 01:00:05,134
[Booker] Everything I said,

1414
01:00:05,201 --> 01:00:08,304
everything that I talk about
as far as going out here,

1415
01:00:08,371 --> 01:00:10,006
staying focused, staying--

1416
01:00:10,073 --> 01:00:11,174
[Vic] Oh! Who the--

1417
01:00:11,240 --> 01:00:12,609
That's Von Wagner.

1418
01:00:12,675 --> 01:00:14,243
Wagner and Odyssey Jones.

1419
01:00:14,310 --> 01:00:16,245
Well, no love lost between these two.

1420
01:00:16,312 --> 01:00:17,447
[Booker] See what I mean?

1421
01:00:17,513 --> 01:00:19,682
If Odyssey Jones would've never been here,

1422
01:00:19,749 --> 01:00:22,952
no distractions would've
ever happened in this match up.

1423
01:00:23,019 --> 01:00:25,154
[Vic] Enofe took his eye
off the ball for a moment,

1424
01:00:25,221 --> 01:00:26,889
trying to get Blade back to his feet,

1425
01:00:26,956 --> 01:00:30,093
spinning heel kick
just turned him inside out.

1426
01:00:30,159 --> 01:00:31,561
Quick tag was made.

1427
01:00:31,627 --> 01:00:33,296
Here comes Briggs and boom.

1428
01:00:33,863 --> 01:00:36,933
Tag Team offense on display.

1429
01:00:37,000 --> 01:00:40,069
And what a win for Briggs and Jensen.

1430
01:00:40,136 --> 01:00:41,704
[Jensen & Briggs' music plays]

1431
01:00:41,771 --> 01:00:46,542
[Alicia] Here are your winners,
Josh Briggs and Brooks Jensen.

1432
01:00:47,577 --> 01:00:49,979
[Vic] You saw them flip a switch

1433
01:00:50,813 --> 01:00:52,081
in those final moments.

1434
01:00:52,148 --> 01:00:56,219
[Booker] That's what it takes
to be great as a Tag Team.

1435
01:00:56,285 --> 01:00:59,956
You've got to go out there
and let it all hang out.

1436
01:01:00,023 --> 01:01:01,724
[Vic] Let's go back to the action.

1437
01:01:01,791 --> 01:01:02,625
This was Blade.

1438
01:01:02,692 --> 01:01:04,594
You talk about laying it all on the line.

1439
01:01:04,661 --> 01:01:06,796
It wasn't pretty, but it was effective,

1440
01:01:06,863 --> 01:01:08,965
and Enofe followed it up, bam.

1441
01:01:09,766 --> 01:01:13,036
That huge running knee
would hit a perfect elbow too.

1442
01:01:13,102 --> 01:01:15,138
Not to be undone.

1443
01:01:15,204 --> 01:01:18,041
Jensen able to turn Enofe inside out.

1444
01:01:18,107 --> 01:01:20,443
Then the finishing touches
after Von Wagner--

1445
01:01:20,510 --> 01:01:21,511
[Booker] Good night.

1446
01:01:21,577 --> 01:01:23,780
[Vic] …came down to take out
Odyssey Jones.

1447
01:01:23,846 --> 01:01:25,048
Enofe was distracted.

1448
01:01:25,114 --> 01:01:28,584
Briggs and Jensen used that opportunity

1449
01:01:28,651 --> 01:01:31,187
to secure a big victory

1450
01:01:31,254 --> 01:01:33,089
in the Tag Team division.

1451
01:01:33,156 --> 01:01:36,225
We know the altercation
that happened over the weekend.

1452
01:01:36,292 --> 01:01:38,594
It's a nice sign of sportsmanship

1453
01:01:38,661 --> 01:01:41,798
between these four superstars
and these two teams.

1454
01:01:41,864 --> 01:01:43,833
That was a sign of sportsmanship.

1455
01:01:43,900 --> 01:01:46,202
[Booker] What are you talking about?

1456
01:01:46,269 --> 01:01:48,371
You're kidding me, right? Sportsmanship…

1457
01:02:03,953 --> 01:02:05,955
For as long as I can remember,

1458
01:02:06,022 --> 01:02:07,990
this has been my dream,

1459
01:02:09,025 --> 01:02:10,560
but I'm done dreaming.

1460
01:02:11,127 --> 01:02:13,830
It's time to wake up and face reality.

1461
01:02:14,464 --> 01:02:15,631
The reality is,

1462
01:02:16,566 --> 01:02:20,069
hell yes, I want another shot
at Mandy Rose.

1463
01:02:21,037 --> 01:02:23,473
I got screwed over the last time.

1464
01:02:23,539 --> 01:02:25,041
In order to get back to Mandy,

1465
01:02:25,108 --> 01:02:27,510
I need to face and beat the very best

1466
01:02:27,577 --> 01:02:29,779
in a race against time.

1467
01:02:29,846 --> 01:02:32,148
The Iron Survivor Challenge.

1468
01:02:32,749 --> 01:02:34,417
How do I even prepare for a match

1469
01:02:34,484 --> 01:02:36,252
that's never been done before?

1470
01:02:36,319 --> 01:02:39,155
This is when my nerves start kicking in,

1471
01:02:39,222 --> 01:02:42,692
my anxiety shoots up
because I don't know what to expect.

1472
01:02:42,759 --> 01:02:44,193
It's going into the unknown.

1473
01:02:46,129 --> 01:02:49,565
If I go in there on Saturday,
unsure of myself,

1474
01:02:49,632 --> 01:02:51,501
second-guessing every move,

1475
01:02:51,567 --> 01:02:55,371
then I should just put myself
in the penalty box and never come out.

1476
01:02:56,005 --> 01:02:58,641
If I want this so bad,

1477
01:02:58,708 --> 01:03:00,309
I have to stop talking about it,

1478
01:03:00,376 --> 01:03:02,278
go out there and win it.

1479
01:03:02,912 --> 01:03:05,648
So I guess the only person
that can stop me

1480
01:03:05,715 --> 01:03:08,718
from walking out of Deadline
the Iron Survivor,

1481
01:03:08,785 --> 01:03:11,020
is the person I'm looking at.

1482
01:03:13,956 --> 01:03:16,626
[Vic] History will indeed be made

1483
01:03:16,692 --> 01:03:19,862
this Saturday at NXT Deadline.

1484
01:03:19,929 --> 01:03:21,764
[Indi Hartwell's music plays]

1485
01:03:21,831 --> 01:03:22,665
[bell rings]

1486
01:03:22,732 --> 01:03:25,101
[Alicia] The following contest
is a triple threat match

1487
01:03:25,168 --> 01:03:26,636
scheduled for one fall.

1488
01:03:26,702 --> 01:03:30,873
Introducing first, Indi Hartwell.

1489
01:03:30,940 --> 01:03:33,910
[Vic] Who will be the final participant
on the women's side

1490
01:03:33,976 --> 01:03:36,179
when it comes
to the Iron Survivor Challenge?

1491
01:03:36,245 --> 01:03:38,181
We saw Axiom punch his ticket

1492
01:03:38,247 --> 01:03:40,483
to start the night on the men's side.

1493
01:03:40,550 --> 01:03:42,385
Will it be Indi Hartwell?

1494
01:03:42,451 --> 01:03:44,587
Will it be Wendy Choo or Fallon Henley?

1495
01:03:44,654 --> 01:03:47,190
We find out next live on NXT.

1496
01:03:51,494 --> 01:03:53,496
[dramatic music plays]

1497
01:03:53,563 --> 01:03:56,599
[Shawn] On Saturday,
December 10th, at NXT Deadline,

1498
01:03:56,666 --> 01:03:59,502
we will present to you
a revolutionary new match

1499
01:03:59,569 --> 01:04:02,338
never done before in WWE history,

1500
01:04:02,405 --> 01:04:03,973
the Iron Survivor Challenge.

1501
01:04:05,274 --> 01:04:07,710
There will be two Iron Survivor Challenges

1502
01:04:07,777 --> 01:04:09,512
at NXT Deadline.

1503
01:04:09,579 --> 01:04:12,215
One for the men and one for the women.

1504
01:04:13,182 --> 01:04:15,284
Two superstars will start the match.

1505
01:04:15,351 --> 01:04:18,287
Every five minutes,
a new superstar will enter

1506
01:04:18,354 --> 01:04:20,256
until all five are in the ring.

1507
01:04:20,323 --> 01:04:22,358
The goal of the match
is to have the most falls

1508
01:04:22,425 --> 01:04:24,894
when the clock hits 25 minutes.

1509
01:04:24,961 --> 01:04:28,130
When a superstar wins a fall,
they will earn one point.

1510
01:04:28,197 --> 01:04:30,199
Falls can be won at any time

1511
01:04:30,266 --> 01:04:33,302
via pinfall, submission
or disqualification.

1512
01:04:33,369 --> 01:04:35,938
However, when the superstar loses a fall,

1513
01:04:36,672 --> 01:04:39,575
they're forced out of the ring
and into the penalty box

1514
01:04:39,642 --> 01:04:41,110
for 90 seconds.

1515
01:04:41,177 --> 01:04:42,845
Once the 90 seconds are up,

1516
01:04:42,912 --> 01:04:45,448
that superstar can reenter the match.

1517
01:04:45,514 --> 01:04:47,350
The superstar who has
scored the most falls,

1518
01:04:47,416 --> 01:04:48,918
when the clock gets 25 minutes

1519
01:04:48,985 --> 01:04:50,353
will be named the Iron Survivor

1520
01:04:50,419 --> 01:04:52,455
and become the number-one contender

1521
01:04:52,521 --> 01:04:54,323
for the NXT Championship.

1522
01:04:58,094 --> 01:05:00,730
[Vic] History will be made this Saturday.

1523
01:05:00,796 --> 01:05:03,866
It all goes down at NXT Deadline

1524
01:05:03,933 --> 01:05:06,035
on WWE on Peacock.

1525
01:05:10,239 --> 01:05:11,841
Another one for the good guys.

1526
01:05:11,908 --> 01:05:12,742
Good job, boys.

1527
01:05:12,808 --> 01:05:15,544
We did our part, now go do yours
and win that triple-threat match.

1528
01:05:15,611 --> 01:05:18,714
I am gonna kick Indi Hartwell
and Wendy Choo in the teeth

1529
01:05:18,781 --> 01:05:20,850
and make it
to the Iron Survivor Challenge.

1530
01:05:20,917 --> 01:05:21,751
Listen, man.

1531
01:05:21,817 --> 01:05:23,319
What's so important with that?

1532
01:05:23,386 --> 01:05:24,453
It's VIP tickets.

1533
01:05:24,520 --> 01:05:26,022
Kiana invited me to Deadline.

1534
01:05:26,088 --> 01:05:27,490
-I can read, dude.
-Really?

1535
01:05:27,556 --> 01:05:30,359
Sorry to break it to you,
Kiana's not winning that match.

1536
01:05:30,426 --> 01:05:31,260
I am.

1537
01:05:32,094 --> 01:05:33,629
You pissed her off now, huh?

1538
01:05:33,696 --> 01:05:35,631
She performs better when she's pissed off.

1539
01:05:35,698 --> 01:05:38,301
So when she's at Deadline,
I'll be at Deadline.

1540
01:05:40,536 --> 01:05:41,370
[Booker laughs]

1541
01:05:41,437 --> 01:05:44,674
You better get you a new suit, son.

1542
01:05:44,740 --> 01:05:45,808
You got a date.

1543
01:05:45,875 --> 01:05:48,878
[Wendy Choo's music plays]

1544
01:05:48,944 --> 01:05:50,946
[crowd cheers]

1545
01:06:12,902 --> 01:06:16,205
[Alicia] Next, Wendy Choo.

1546
01:06:17,173 --> 01:06:18,407
[Vic] And for Choo,

1547
01:06:19,709 --> 01:06:21,877
so many emotions going through her mind.

1548
01:06:21,944 --> 01:06:24,580
This would be well-deserved
if she was able to win,

1549
01:06:24,647 --> 01:06:26,549
if she was able to go to NXT Deadline.

1550
01:06:26,615 --> 01:06:27,917
[Booker] It would be huge.

1551
01:06:27,984 --> 01:06:30,986
[Fallon Henley's music plays]

1552
01:06:31,053 --> 01:06:33,055
[crowd cheers]

1553
01:06:35,257 --> 01:06:37,226
[Alicia] Making her way to the ring,

1554
01:06:37,293 --> 01:06:39,895
Fallon Henley.

1555
01:06:39,962 --> 01:06:41,597
[Vic] We just heard from Henley,

1556
01:06:41,664 --> 01:06:43,799
she's confident heading into this match up.

1557
01:06:43,866 --> 01:06:45,935
All three of these women, as with the men,

1558
01:06:46,002 --> 01:06:48,137
they're the three superstars
on the bubble,

1559
01:06:48,204 --> 01:06:49,872
from the Hall of Fame panel,

1560
01:06:49,939 --> 01:06:52,274
they get one last opportunity

1561
01:06:52,341 --> 01:06:54,410
to prove to everyone

1562
01:06:54,477 --> 01:06:56,278
that they deserve that spot,

1563
01:06:56,345 --> 01:06:58,347
that they deserve to be an NXT Deadline,

1564
01:06:58,414 --> 01:07:01,017
that they deserve, Book, to make history.

1565
01:07:01,083 --> 01:07:03,853
[Booker laughs] You're talking
about deserve, man.

1566
01:07:03,919 --> 01:07:05,321
I don't believe in that.

1567
01:07:05,388 --> 01:07:07,857
I believe in going out and taking it.

1568
01:07:07,923 --> 01:07:11,360
I believe in going out
and just stepping on that man

1569
01:07:11,427 --> 01:07:13,129
and keep on walking.

1570
01:07:13,195 --> 01:07:14,764
That's what I believe in.

1571
01:07:14,830 --> 01:07:17,333
I believe in, tonight, Indi Hartwell.

1572
01:07:17,400 --> 01:07:19,568
[Vic] Hartwell has been on herself.

1573
01:07:19,635 --> 01:07:21,437
Strides certainly have been made,

1574
01:07:21,504 --> 01:07:23,005
but when you look at Hartwell,

1575
01:07:23,072 --> 01:07:26,008
the panel even agreed with your thoughts,
there's something missing.

1576
01:07:26,075 --> 01:07:27,977
As Fallon Henley almost
picked up the victory.

1577
01:07:28,044 --> 01:07:30,613
Now working together as a team.

1578
01:07:30,679 --> 01:07:32,181
[Booker] I've always felt like

1579
01:07:32,248 --> 01:07:34,316
there was something missing with Hartwell.

1580
01:07:34,383 --> 01:07:37,820
And tonight, I'm hoping
that she can go out here

1581
01:07:37,887 --> 01:07:40,423
and find her way into that match up.

1582
01:07:40,489 --> 01:07:42,024
[Vic] Oh, and a near fall.

1583
01:07:42,525 --> 01:07:43,893
Innovation there

1584
01:07:44,860 --> 01:07:46,695
from Hartwell and a double dropkick.

1585
01:07:46,762 --> 01:07:48,130
Take a look at the field.

1586
01:07:48,197 --> 01:07:49,565
I wanna talk about Henley

1587
01:07:49,632 --> 01:07:51,333
and again all three of these women

1588
01:07:51,400 --> 01:07:54,103
competing to become
the number one contender

1589
01:07:54,170 --> 01:07:56,839
to Mandy Rose's NXT Women's Championship.

1590
01:07:56,906 --> 01:07:58,541
As Toxic Attraction, the Toxic Lounge--

1591
01:07:58,607 --> 01:08:00,042
Stacked up. Both women down.

1592
01:08:00,109 --> 01:08:03,212
Hartwell almost pinned
both superstars in this match up.

1593
01:08:03,279 --> 01:08:06,115
[Booker] How do you get an invitation

1594
01:08:06,182 --> 01:08:08,751
to that Toxic Lounge?

1595
01:08:08,818 --> 01:08:10,186
[Vic] Talk to Wade Barrett.

1596
01:08:11,554 --> 01:08:12,555
He'll tell you how,

1597
01:08:12,621 --> 01:08:15,124
even though I'm pretty sure
his is a forged card,

1598
01:08:15,191 --> 01:08:16,859
but we can talk about that later.

1599
01:08:16,926 --> 01:08:19,028
As Hartwell turned right around

1600
01:08:19,095 --> 01:08:20,963
and Choo able to stay one step ahead.

1601
01:08:21,030 --> 01:08:22,998
Now Henley right into the back,

1602
01:08:23,065 --> 01:08:25,100
into the cover, near fall.

1603
01:08:25,167 --> 01:08:27,470
Henley one second away
from punching her ticket

1604
01:08:28,137 --> 01:08:29,605
to NXT Deadline.

1605
01:08:29,672 --> 01:08:30,739
Still to come,

1606
01:08:31,507 --> 01:08:32,808
The Grayson Waller Effect

1607
01:08:32,875 --> 01:08:34,710
with the entire field

1608
01:08:34,777 --> 01:08:37,480
of the men's Iron Survivor Challenge,

1609
01:08:37,546 --> 01:08:39,448
coming up in just a matter of moments.

1610
01:08:39,515 --> 01:08:41,584
We're gonna witness
who's gonna earn that final spot

1611
01:08:41,650 --> 01:08:42,852
on the women's side,

1612
01:08:42,918 --> 01:08:44,620
Henley and Choo slugging it out.

1613
01:08:44,687 --> 01:08:48,724
[Booker] Henley and Choo
going toe-to-toe, blow-for-blowing.

1614
01:08:48,791 --> 01:08:50,593
I'm gonna tell you right now,

1615
01:08:50,659 --> 01:08:53,529
Wendy Choo is showing me
a little something

1616
01:08:53,596 --> 01:08:54,964
in this match up tonight.

1617
01:08:55,030 --> 01:08:56,365
[Vic] Choo rolls through,

1618
01:08:56,432 --> 01:08:58,000
center of the ring, another near fall.

1619
01:08:58,067 --> 01:09:00,636
Oh, again, taking out Hartwell.

1620
01:09:00,703 --> 01:09:03,572
Choo has brought her A-game here tonight.

1621
01:09:04,340 --> 01:09:06,408
Is she being overlooked in this match?

1622
01:09:06,475 --> 01:09:10,045
Do you think her smiling personality
has had others overlooking her?

1623
01:09:10,112 --> 01:09:12,448
[Booker] I believe so.
I've said that many times.

1624
01:09:12,515 --> 01:09:15,951
Choo needs to have
a little bit of an attitude,

1625
01:09:16,018 --> 01:09:17,453
and tonight we're seeing it.

1626
01:09:17,520 --> 01:09:19,855
[Vic] Nice offensive strategy by Henley

1627
01:09:19,922 --> 01:09:21,757
right to the side of the face,
into the cover.

1628
01:09:21,824 --> 01:09:23,792
Hartwell quickly in to break things up.

1629
01:09:25,060 --> 01:09:26,195
Part of the triple threat match,

1630
01:09:26,262 --> 01:09:29,532
first one to earn a pinfall
or a submission will be victorious.

1631
01:09:29,598 --> 01:09:31,300
It was Choo who's back in control.

1632
01:09:31,367 --> 01:09:33,569
Came close to beating Rose
this past summer

1633
01:09:33,636 --> 01:09:35,871
for the NXT Women's Championship.

1634
01:09:35,938 --> 01:09:37,573
Now all three women tied up

1635
01:09:37,640 --> 01:09:40,476
and Henley getting the better
of the two in this exchange.

1636
01:09:40,543 --> 01:09:42,711
[Booker] Taking advantage
of that situation.

1637
01:09:42,778 --> 01:09:45,314
You don't wanna waste
much time right here.

1638
01:09:45,381 --> 01:09:47,116
You gotta win them just openly.

1639
01:09:47,183 --> 01:09:49,818
[Vic] What a right hand. Oh, what a boot.

1640
01:09:49,885 --> 01:09:52,188
[crowd claps]

1641
01:09:52,254 --> 01:09:55,324
[Vic] Who's heading
to NXT Deadline on Saturday?

1642
01:09:59,061 --> 01:10:00,296
Back live on NXT.

1643
01:10:00,362 --> 01:10:02,097
Who will earn the final spot

1644
01:10:02,164 --> 01:10:06,068
in the NXT Iron Survivor Challenge match up

1645
01:10:06,135 --> 01:10:08,404
coming up for the NXT Women's Championship

1646
01:10:08,470 --> 01:10:10,239
to become the number one contender?

1647
01:10:10,306 --> 01:10:13,142
As Hartwell turning
things around here on Choo.

1648
01:10:13,209 --> 01:10:15,244
We saw throughout the commercial break,

1649
01:10:15,311 --> 01:10:18,147
this has been a highly competitive match.

1650
01:10:18,214 --> 01:10:22,551
[Booker] It's been a war, Vic.
It's been a war between these ladies.

1651
01:10:22,618 --> 01:10:24,720
[Vic] …for that Hall of Fame panel,
but I wanna go back

1652
01:10:24,787 --> 01:10:25,988
to something Perez said.

1653
01:10:26,055 --> 01:10:28,157
How do you prepare for the unexpected?

1654
01:10:28,224 --> 01:10:31,493
You walked into the elimination chamber,
what was going through your mind?

1655
01:10:31,560 --> 01:10:35,264
[Booker] When you're young
in this game, you look forward--

1656
01:10:35,331 --> 01:10:36,599
[Vic] Shoulders down.

1657
01:10:36,665 --> 01:10:39,635
[Booker] …you look
for a chance to be the first.

1658
01:10:39,702 --> 01:10:41,403
A chance to make history.

1659
01:10:41,470 --> 01:10:43,739
That's what these ladies are looking for,

1660
01:10:43,806 --> 01:10:46,508
a chance to get that spot.

1661
01:10:46,575 --> 01:10:47,710
Oh, wow.

1662
01:10:47,776 --> 01:10:49,511
[Vic] Henley is the one standing,

1663
01:10:49,578 --> 01:10:51,113
putting her foot on the gas,

1664
01:10:51,180 --> 01:10:53,916
she's the one bringing it to this match up,

1665
01:10:53,983 --> 01:10:55,150
and will she be the one

1666
01:10:55,217 --> 01:10:57,886
that heads to NXT Deadline this Saturday?

1667
01:11:01,023 --> 01:11:02,625
Crawling into the cover.

1668
01:11:02,691 --> 01:11:03,993
Hooks the leg,

1669
01:11:04,059 --> 01:11:07,963
Choo at the last moment breaking that…

1670
01:11:08,030 --> 01:11:11,567
[Booker laughs] Don't let
the smoothie taste fool you

1671
01:11:11,634 --> 01:11:13,936
as far as Wendy Choo goes.

1672
01:11:14,003 --> 01:11:17,473
Right now, she's throwing
caution to the wind.

1673
01:11:17,539 --> 01:11:18,774
This is big, Vic.

1674
01:11:18,841 --> 01:11:21,410
This is a big night for these ladies.

1675
01:11:21,477 --> 01:11:23,912
All three want a chance to make history.

1676
01:11:23,979 --> 01:11:26,348
[Vic] All three getting that opportunity

1677
01:11:27,983 --> 01:11:30,486
to earn their spot this Saturday.

1678
01:11:30,552 --> 01:11:32,821
[Booker] When opportunity knocks,

1679
01:11:32,888 --> 01:11:34,990
you know what you got to do.

1680
01:11:35,057 --> 01:11:36,258
You got to answer it.

1681
01:11:36,792 --> 01:11:37,660
Look at Hartwell.

1682
01:11:37,726 --> 01:11:38,994
She noted on social media

1683
01:11:39,061 --> 01:11:41,463
that her opponents
would not be ready for her tonight,

1684
01:11:41,530 --> 01:11:45,167
and she is taking both out one by one.

1685
01:11:45,768 --> 01:11:48,270
Chopping down the field is Hartwell.

1686
01:11:48,337 --> 01:11:51,240
[Booker] This is a focused
Indi Hartwell right here,

1687
01:11:51,307 --> 01:11:54,410
but right there got caught by Wendy Choo.

1688
01:11:55,110 --> 01:11:56,779
[Vic] Choo steamrolling Hartwell.

1689
01:11:56,845 --> 01:11:58,981
Turning her attention now
to Fallon Henley.

1690
01:11:59,048 --> 01:12:00,783
Overhead belly-to-belly toss.

1691
01:12:00,849 --> 01:12:04,953
[Booker] Beautiful belly-to-belly
by Choo right there.

1692
01:12:07,089 --> 01:12:08,957
[Vic] Choo right back into Hartwell,

1693
01:12:09,024 --> 01:12:11,060
and this is a strategy for Choo.

1694
01:12:11,126 --> 01:12:12,361
She's hitting anything--

1695
01:12:12,428 --> 01:12:14,196
Oh, she got caught. Spine buster.

1696
01:12:14,263 --> 01:12:15,931
Will this be enough?

1697
01:12:15,998 --> 01:12:20,202
Cover, and Henley able
to break things up at the last moment.

1698
01:12:23,272 --> 01:12:25,140
I'm receiving some news, Book.

1699
01:12:25,207 --> 01:12:27,109
It's official, Saturday,

1700
01:12:27,176 --> 01:12:29,278
The New Day, Pretty Deadly

1701
01:12:29,345 --> 01:12:31,480
for the NXT Tag Team titles.

1702
01:12:31,547 --> 01:12:32,681
The one piece of gold.

1703
01:12:32,748 --> 01:12:35,184
One of the greatest teams in WWE history--

1704
01:12:35,250 --> 01:12:36,285
[Booker] How?

1705
01:12:36,352 --> 01:12:38,754
[Vic] …they got an opportunity
this Saturday.

1706
01:12:39,888 --> 01:12:42,658
If that doesn't get you excited,
I don't know what will.

1707
01:12:42,725 --> 01:12:44,893
The New Day, Pretty Deadly at Deadline,

1708
01:12:44,960 --> 01:12:46,362
but who's gonna make it to--

1709
01:12:46,428 --> 01:12:48,764
[Booker] I like The New Day. I really do.

1710
01:12:48,831 --> 01:12:50,999
It's really hard to be a Tag Team,

1711
01:12:51,066 --> 01:12:53,602
I give those guys a lot of credit
for staying together,

1712
01:12:53,669 --> 01:12:56,672
but come on, Vic.
There's nothing fair about this.

1713
01:12:56,739 --> 01:12:59,341
[Vic] New Day's headed to NXT Deadline,

1714
01:12:59,408 --> 01:13:01,543
but which one of these three women

1715
01:13:01,610 --> 01:13:03,545
are gonna head to Deadline as well?

1716
01:13:04,480 --> 01:13:06,749
Trying to hoist up Henley is Hartwell.

1717
01:13:07,549 --> 01:13:08,384
One more time.

1718
01:13:08,450 --> 01:13:10,185
There's Choo running interference.

1719
01:13:10,252 --> 01:13:12,054
-[Booker] …oh.
-[Vic] Boom!

1720
01:13:13,889 --> 01:13:16,992
-[groans in pain]
-[Booker] Gotta get a cover right here.

1721
01:13:17,059 --> 01:13:19,061
[crowd chants] NXT!

1722
01:13:21,363 --> 01:13:24,967
[Vic] Again, Mandy Rose, Toxic Attraction

1723
01:13:25,033 --> 01:13:26,568
keeping their eyes

1724
01:13:26,635 --> 01:13:29,438
on this triple threat wildcard match,

1725
01:13:29,505 --> 01:13:31,840
because one of these three women

1726
01:13:31,907 --> 01:13:35,844
will become the final entry
into the Iron Survivor Challenge,

1727
01:13:35,911 --> 01:13:39,214
and it was almost, almost Wendy Choo.

1728
01:13:39,281 --> 01:13:42,684
[Booker] Champagne wishes
and caviar dreams, baby.

1729
01:13:42,751 --> 01:13:44,620
[Vic] Someone's dreams
are gonna come true.

1730
01:13:44,686 --> 01:13:46,455
They're getting one step closer,

1731
01:13:46,522 --> 01:13:48,557
to their dream of becoming champion,

1732
01:13:48,624 --> 01:13:51,126
and right now it's Choo
who's in the driver's seat.

1733
01:13:51,193 --> 01:13:53,896
Just got ran over by Hartwell.

1734
01:13:53,962 --> 01:13:55,597
[Booker] Indi wants it tonight.

1735
01:13:55,664 --> 01:13:58,100
She wants it more
than I've ever seen her--

1736
01:13:58,167 --> 01:14:00,302
[Vic] Crucifix. Shoulders down. Henley.

1737
01:14:01,670 --> 01:14:03,071
You almost had to eat your words.

1738
01:14:03,138 --> 01:14:05,107
[Booker] Big kick out by Indi Hartwell.

1739
01:14:05,174 --> 01:14:07,342
[Vic] A big mistake maybe too by Hartwell.

1740
01:14:07,409 --> 01:14:10,179
As now Henley and Choo
the only two in the ring.

1741
01:14:10,245 --> 01:14:13,382
Who will be the first
to gain pinfall or submission?

1742
01:14:13,449 --> 01:14:14,450
Brain buster.

1743
01:14:14,950 --> 01:14:15,851
Cover by Choo.

1744
01:14:15,918 --> 01:14:17,853
-[Booker] Henley's out.
-[Vic] Will this be enough?

1745
01:14:17,920 --> 01:14:19,688
And another… I mean,

1746
01:14:19,755 --> 01:14:23,192
these three women
are showing you what they have

1747
01:14:23,258 --> 01:14:24,626
and what they're made of, Book.

1748
01:14:24,693 --> 01:14:27,162
[Booker] You said it, Vic.
What they are made of.

1749
01:14:27,229 --> 01:14:30,799
Everybody wants what I call
a piece of the action.

1750
01:14:30,866 --> 01:14:32,968
Right now Wendy Choo just wants,

1751
01:14:33,035 --> 01:14:34,870
she just wants a slice, man.

1752
01:14:34,937 --> 01:14:36,872
Just a little piece of the pie.

1753
01:14:36,939 --> 01:14:38,774
[Vic] She's taking a big risk,

1754
01:14:38,841 --> 01:14:39,808
and up and down.

1755
01:14:39,875 --> 01:14:40,876
Huge splash.

1756
01:14:40,943 --> 01:14:42,244
Trying to go for the cover.

1757
01:14:42,778 --> 01:14:43,846
Hartwell though.

1758
01:14:44,546 --> 01:14:45,914
No, Hartwell now.

1759
01:14:45,981 --> 01:14:47,416
[Booker] She's trying to steal it.

1760
01:14:47,483 --> 01:14:48,550
[Vic] From behind.

1761
01:14:48,617 --> 01:14:49,918
Is this Hartwell's moment?

1762
01:14:49,985 --> 01:14:51,420
Into the cover.

1763
01:14:51,487 --> 01:14:53,989
Hartwell is headed to Deadline.

1764
01:14:54,056 --> 01:14:56,325
[Booker] You ain't cheating,
you ain't trying.

1765
01:14:56,391 --> 01:14:58,560
[Alicia] …Indi Hartwell.

1766
01:14:58,627 --> 01:15:00,529
[Vic] I wouldn't say Hartwell cheated.

1767
01:15:00,596 --> 01:15:03,298
She just was very opportunistic
in this match up.

1768
01:15:03,365 --> 01:15:05,734
[Booker] Take advantage
of a situation, man.

1769
01:15:05,801 --> 01:15:08,237
Whatever the situation may be,

1770
01:15:08,303 --> 01:15:11,240
Indi Hartwell is going to the dance.

1771
01:15:11,306 --> 01:15:14,743
[Vic] You have questioned her,
the Hall of Fame panel questioned her.

1772
01:15:14,810 --> 01:15:16,278
She pulled it out tonight.

1773
01:15:16,345 --> 01:15:19,948
As Choo, we talk about high risk
she had the reward,

1774
01:15:20,015 --> 01:15:22,618
but the one who was able to capitalize

1775
01:15:22,684 --> 01:15:24,119
was Indi Hartwell.

1776
01:15:24,186 --> 01:15:28,190
Bam, right to the back,
and now Indi Hartwell,

1777
01:15:28,257 --> 01:15:30,759
who has been talking the talk
and walking the walk,

1778
01:15:30,826 --> 01:15:31,927
is walking in

1779
01:15:31,994 --> 01:15:35,330
to the Iron Survivor Challenge match,

1780
01:15:35,397 --> 01:15:37,165
with an opportunity to become

1781
01:15:37,232 --> 01:15:39,935
the number one contender

1782
01:15:40,002 --> 01:15:42,571
to the NXT Women's Championship

1783
01:15:42,638 --> 01:15:45,274
because the field of five is set.

1784
01:15:45,340 --> 01:15:46,942
It goes down this Saturday

1785
01:15:47,009 --> 01:15:49,778
live on WWE on Peacock.

1786
01:15:51,847 --> 01:15:53,615
We've been talking about the women,

1787
01:15:53,682 --> 01:15:55,751
we turn our attention to the men

1788
01:15:55,817 --> 01:15:59,321
because Axiom earned
his opportunity earlier tonight.

1789
01:15:59,388 --> 01:16:02,691
JD McDonagh was picked,
as was Carmelo Hayes

1790
01:16:02,758 --> 01:16:04,960
who has put together quite the year,

1791
01:16:05,027 --> 01:16:08,530
and then there is
this superstar, Joe Gacy.

1792
01:16:08,597 --> 01:16:11,667
We will hear from them
on The Grayson Waller Effect

1793
01:16:11,733 --> 01:16:14,169
hosted by the arrogant Aussie

1794
01:16:14,236 --> 01:16:16,371
next live on NXT.

1795
01:16:20,409 --> 01:16:22,210
[indistinct]

1796
01:16:22,277 --> 01:16:24,613
We got Cora, Roxanne.

1797
01:16:24,680 --> 01:16:26,148
Zoey, Kiana.

1798
01:16:26,214 --> 01:16:27,282
Now Indi.

1799
01:16:27,349 --> 01:16:29,885
Hey, are we gonna Deadline?

1800
01:16:29,952 --> 01:16:31,687
-What's going on?
-Of course.

1801
01:16:31,753 --> 01:16:35,090
You got five women all fighting
over the right to face me.

1802
01:16:36,024 --> 01:16:37,192
Can't miss that.

1803
01:16:37,259 --> 01:16:38,894
[Indi] It's going to be me.

1804
01:16:41,296 --> 01:16:43,031
Saturday is my day.

1805
01:16:43,098 --> 01:16:44,833
The other 364 days of the year,

1806
01:16:44,900 --> 01:16:48,203
they can go to everyone else,
but Saturday is my day.

1807
01:16:48,270 --> 01:16:50,238
For months, everyone has been wondering

1808
01:16:50,305 --> 01:16:53,208
who's gonna take
that NXT Women's title from you.

1809
01:16:54,076 --> 01:16:55,410
You're looking at her.

1810
01:16:55,477 --> 01:16:56,845
You know what I can do.

1811
01:16:56,912 --> 01:16:59,615
You just saw it,
and you'll see it again for 25 minutes

1812
01:16:59,681 --> 01:17:01,883
or for however long I'm in that match.

1813
01:17:01,950 --> 01:17:05,053
Sit in your lounge, front row,
watch it on Peacock.

1814
01:17:05,120 --> 01:17:06,355
It doesn't matter to me,

1815
01:17:06,421 --> 01:17:08,824
because once the clock
runs out on that match,

1816
01:17:08,890 --> 01:17:12,361
the clock starts ticking down
to end of your title reign.

1817
01:17:17,499 --> 01:17:21,203
NXT Deadline all begins at 7:30

1818
01:17:21,269 --> 01:17:24,139
with the NXT Deadline kick-off show

1819
01:17:24,206 --> 01:17:26,742
with Instinct Culture's Denise Salcedo,

1820
01:17:26,808 --> 01:17:28,910
who will join McKenzie and Sam Roberts.

1821
01:17:28,977 --> 01:17:30,178
On the kick off show,

1822
01:17:30,245 --> 01:17:32,314
we will draw the order of entrance.

1823
01:17:32,381 --> 01:17:35,150
They will be announced
for the Iron Survivor Challenges.

1824
01:17:35,217 --> 01:17:38,520
NXT Deadline kick off show
beginning at 7:30.

1825
01:17:39,154 --> 01:17:42,290
History will indeed be made this Saturday

1826
01:17:42,357 --> 01:17:44,760
as the NXT Tag Team titles

1827
01:17:44,826 --> 01:17:46,228
will be on the line.

1828
01:17:46,294 --> 01:17:49,431
The New Day,
who shocked the world earlier tonight,

1829
01:17:49,498 --> 01:17:50,999
shocked Pretty Deadly as well,

1830
01:17:51,066 --> 01:17:53,602
will look to capture some gold
they have never held.

1831
01:17:53,669 --> 01:17:55,270
Get your popcorn ready.

1832
01:17:55,337 --> 01:17:56,738
NXT Tag Team titles

1833
01:17:56,805 --> 01:17:58,740
on the line this Saturday,

1834
01:17:58,807 --> 01:18:01,043
New Day taking on Pretty Deadly.

1835
01:18:03,211 --> 01:18:06,114
We've seen the field get set
moments ago with Indi Hartwell

1836
01:18:06,181 --> 01:18:07,883
who punched her ticket in advance.

1837
01:18:07,949 --> 01:18:09,151
Who will make history?

1838
01:18:09,217 --> 01:18:12,087
Who will become the number one contender

1839
01:18:12,154 --> 01:18:14,489
for the NXT Women's Championship?

1840
01:18:14,556 --> 01:18:16,158
We'll find out in the innovative

1841
01:18:16,224 --> 01:18:18,560
women's Iron Survivor Challenge

1842
01:18:18,627 --> 01:18:20,996
this Saturday at NXT Deadline

1843
01:18:21,063 --> 01:18:23,365
on WWE on Peacock.

1844
01:18:23,432 --> 01:18:24,966
When you talk about Deadline,

1845
01:18:25,033 --> 01:18:27,402
you have to talk
about the NXT Championship.

1846
01:18:27,469 --> 01:18:30,505
No more diners, no more boats,
no more fishing.

1847
01:18:30,572 --> 01:18:32,541
Bron Breakker looks to retain the title

1848
01:18:32,607 --> 01:18:34,710
against the man who came back to NXT

1849
01:18:34,776 --> 01:18:36,178
to finally claim the gold.

1850
01:18:36,244 --> 01:18:38,980
It's Crews, it's Breakker, it's one-on-one

1851
01:18:39,047 --> 01:18:40,315
for the NXT title

1852
01:18:40,382 --> 01:18:42,584
this Saturday at NXT Deadline.

1853
01:18:43,719 --> 01:18:46,988
After what we've witnessed
here earlier tonight,

1854
01:18:47,055 --> 01:18:49,291
Alba Fyre will get her hands

1855
01:18:49,357 --> 01:18:50,792
on Isla Dawn.

1856
01:18:50,859 --> 01:18:53,929
The blood is boiling,
the spirits will be in the air.

1857
01:18:53,995 --> 01:18:55,330
These two go one-on-one.

1858
01:18:55,397 --> 01:18:57,799
You do not wanna miss NXT Deadline

1859
01:18:57,866 --> 01:18:59,534
again, this Saturday, live

1860
01:18:59,601 --> 01:19:01,903
WWE on Peacock.

1861
01:19:04,206 --> 01:19:06,942
[Grayson Waller's music plays]

1862
01:19:14,583 --> 01:19:15,784
Ladies and gentlemen,

1863
01:19:15,851 --> 01:19:18,253
we're talking all things
Iron Survivor Challenge.

1864
01:19:18,320 --> 01:19:20,055
Jump into the Instagram chat,

1865
01:19:20,122 --> 01:19:22,357
get that GWE TV camera on me.

1866
01:19:22,424 --> 01:19:24,059
I got a fresh shirt tonight.

1867
01:19:24,626 --> 01:19:26,728
Before I introduce everyone this Saturday,

1868
01:19:27,295 --> 01:19:29,664
NXT Deadline, what a history-making night.

1869
01:19:29,731 --> 01:19:31,032
Twenty-five minutes.

1870
01:19:31,099 --> 01:19:33,435
Most pinfalls wins
for the number one contendership

1871
01:19:33,502 --> 01:19:35,170
to the NXT championship.

1872
01:19:36,004 --> 01:19:38,406
It's very rare you get the opportunity

1873
01:19:38,473 --> 01:19:41,143
to be in a first-time-ever WWE match,

1874
01:19:41,209 --> 01:19:43,979
and we all know
you don't forget your first time, right?

1875
01:19:44,045 --> 01:19:46,148
Except for that fat bloke in the first row

1876
01:19:46,214 --> 01:19:48,683
because with that head
you never had a first time.

1877
01:19:48,750 --> 01:19:50,285
[crowd boos]

1878
01:19:50,352 --> 01:19:51,820
You couldn't lift it up, lad.

1879
01:19:52,654 --> 01:19:53,588
Sorry, boys.

1880
01:19:53,655 --> 01:19:55,924
I'll get back to what
we're supposed to be here for.

1881
01:19:56,958 --> 01:19:57,993
The five of us

1882
01:19:58,894 --> 01:20:02,164
are gonna be linked together forever.

1883
01:20:02,230 --> 01:20:04,399
It is an absolute honor

1884
01:20:04,466 --> 01:20:06,001
to be in this ring tonight

1885
01:20:06,067 --> 01:20:08,570
and on Saturday night with all you lads.

1886
01:20:09,738 --> 01:20:11,006
So let's introduce them.

1887
01:20:11,773 --> 01:20:14,709
First of all, the whiz kid of NXT,

1888
01:20:14,776 --> 01:20:16,278
and the only man brave enough

1889
01:20:16,344 --> 01:20:18,647
to wear a turtle neck in 2022,

1890
01:20:18,713 --> 01:20:19,815
it's Axiom.

1891
01:20:19,881 --> 01:20:21,216
[crowd cheers]

1892
01:20:23,585 --> 01:20:24,553
On my right,

1893
01:20:25,420 --> 01:20:28,056
he went from being a sociopath

1894
01:20:28,824 --> 01:20:30,125
to a psychopath.

1895
01:20:30,192 --> 01:20:31,893
He represent the schism,

1896
01:20:31,960 --> 01:20:33,361
the "Schis",

1897
01:20:33,962 --> 01:20:36,231
it's Joe Gacy.

1898
01:20:36,298 --> 01:20:37,966
[crowd cheers]

1899
01:20:38,033 --> 01:20:38,900
Sorry, bro.

1900
01:20:40,268 --> 01:20:42,237
Fresh from his appearance

1901
01:20:42,304 --> 01:20:44,105
in my front yard this weekend,

1902
01:20:44,172 --> 01:20:45,774
it's the Irish garden gnome,

1903
01:20:45,840 --> 01:20:48,109
JD McDonagh.

1904
01:20:49,844 --> 01:20:50,946
His head is big.

1905
01:20:51,012 --> 01:20:51,847
Hey, hey, hey.

1906
01:20:52,480 --> 01:20:53,782
Last but not least,

1907
01:20:53,849 --> 01:20:55,050
my boy,

1908
01:20:55,116 --> 01:20:58,553
the self-proclaimed A-champion,

1909
01:20:58,620 --> 01:21:00,355
and after the last few weeks,

1910
01:21:00,422 --> 01:21:02,858
we should be calling him A-loser,

1911
01:21:02,924 --> 01:21:05,493
it's Carmelo Hayes.

1912
01:21:06,895 --> 01:21:08,563
You ain't gotta do all that, bro.

1913
01:21:08,630 --> 01:21:09,598
They know who I am.

1914
01:21:10,398 --> 01:21:11,499
Calm down.

1915
01:21:11,566 --> 01:21:12,968
A champ being an a-hole.

1916
01:21:13,034 --> 01:21:14,135
I get it, I get it.

1917
01:21:14,202 --> 01:21:15,470
The chats popping off.

1918
01:21:15,537 --> 01:21:17,505
Can we get a question up on the screen?

1919
01:21:17,572 --> 01:21:19,374
There are so many. Let's get one up.

1920
01:21:20,675 --> 01:21:23,011
From RingFox1. Great name.

1921
01:21:23,078 --> 01:21:25,046
What advantage do you have

1922
01:21:25,113 --> 01:21:27,649
that'll make you
the first-ever Iron Survivor?

1923
01:21:27,716 --> 01:21:29,718
Lads, I'm actually gonna answer this one

1924
01:21:29,784 --> 01:21:33,388
because I'm the only one here
who knows what it takes to be a Survivor.

1925
01:21:33,455 --> 01:21:36,725
I was a reality show superstar
on Australian Survivor.

1926
01:21:36,791 --> 01:21:38,693
Hey, we're not talking about you

1927
01:21:38,760 --> 01:21:40,662
running around naked in the jungle

1928
01:21:40,729 --> 01:21:42,564
on a show that nobody watched, bro.

1929
01:21:42,631 --> 01:21:45,500
We're talking about
the number contendership

1930
01:21:45,567 --> 01:21:47,802
for the NXT championship.

1931
01:21:47,869 --> 01:21:49,271
There's a reason

1932
01:21:49,337 --> 01:21:52,274
why I was the first entrant in this match

1933
01:21:52,340 --> 01:21:54,843
because when they mention
that championship,

1934
01:21:54,910 --> 01:21:57,445
they're not talking about any of y'all.

1935
01:21:57,512 --> 01:22:00,548
They talking about
the man that don't miss.

1936
01:22:00,615 --> 01:22:03,318
They talking about the one-of-one.

1937
01:22:03,385 --> 01:22:07,155
They talking about the A-champion,

1938
01:22:07,222 --> 01:22:08,957
and I am him.

1939
01:22:09,724 --> 01:22:11,726
What are you talking about, man?

1940
01:22:12,294 --> 01:22:15,530
Didn't you lose
the North American Championship twice,

1941
01:22:15,597 --> 01:22:17,299
and if I am not mistaken,

1942
01:22:17,966 --> 01:22:20,168
I think it was a five-man match twice.

1943
01:22:20,235 --> 01:22:22,504
JD, we're not talking about any of that.

1944
01:22:22,570 --> 01:22:23,471
This ain't that.

1945
01:22:23,538 --> 01:22:26,474
This match has everything to do
with the five of us.

1946
01:22:26,541 --> 01:22:28,610
This match is ours.

1947
01:22:28,677 --> 01:22:30,578
This match is mine.

1948
01:22:30,645 --> 01:22:33,748
It doesn't matter if I come in first,
second, third, or fourth.

1949
01:22:33,815 --> 01:22:36,017
I will have the same juice in minute one

1950
01:22:36,084 --> 01:22:37,686
that I got in minute 25.

1951
01:22:37,752 --> 01:22:38,820
Ask about me.

1952
01:22:43,692 --> 01:22:44,526
Melo,

1953
01:22:45,193 --> 01:22:46,828
do not kid yourself, okay?

1954
01:22:47,429 --> 01:22:49,464
You have been protected in this company

1955
01:22:49,531 --> 01:22:52,133
from the very first day
you walked in that door.

1956
01:22:52,901 --> 01:22:55,203
You're like a kid
running around in a petting zoo,

1957
01:22:55,270 --> 01:22:56,304
and on Saturday,

1958
01:22:56,371 --> 01:22:58,907
you are gonna wake up
inside the lion's den.

1959
01:22:59,507 --> 01:23:01,276
The person you are in minute one

1960
01:23:01,343 --> 01:23:04,145
is not gonna be the same dude
as minute 25.

1961
01:23:04,212 --> 01:23:05,880
You're not gonna be running around here

1962
01:23:05,947 --> 01:23:08,216
when the lactic acids
building open in your muscles,

1963
01:23:08,283 --> 01:23:10,251
when your lungs are screaming for air.

1964
01:23:10,318 --> 01:23:13,655
Those quick reactions aren't gonna come
so quick after minute 25.

1965
01:23:15,490 --> 01:23:18,760
I know that I can go
through 25 minutes of hell,

1966
01:23:18,827 --> 01:23:19,861
and I know

1967
01:23:20,528 --> 01:23:23,932
that I got a bigger gas tank
than any of you guys.

1968
01:23:24,966 --> 01:23:26,167
First of all,

1969
01:23:26,234 --> 01:23:28,503
I don't need 25 minutes to beat you fools.

1970
01:23:28,570 --> 01:23:29,671
[laughs]

1971
01:23:29,738 --> 01:23:32,374
The match is 25 minutes,
but you know what?

1972
01:23:32,440 --> 01:23:35,310
You wouldn't know nothing
about going 25 minutes. We know.

1973
01:23:35,377 --> 01:23:36,311
[crowd cheers]

1974
01:23:37,946 --> 01:23:40,181
I am gonna choose to ignore that comment

1975
01:23:40,248 --> 01:23:42,851
because you've done your best
Waller cosplay tonight,

1976
01:23:42,917 --> 01:23:44,052
and I appreciate that.

1977
01:23:44,119 --> 01:23:45,353
That's a great shirt.

1978
01:23:45,420 --> 01:23:47,355
But I have question for Joe Gacy.

1979
01:23:48,390 --> 01:23:49,224
Joseph,

1980
01:23:49,924 --> 01:23:52,293
what advantage did Schism Claus

1981
01:23:53,261 --> 01:23:55,697
leave for you under the tree
on Invictus Day?

1982
01:23:55,764 --> 01:23:56,931
Everyone wants to know.

1983
01:23:56,998 --> 01:24:00,435
I'm already capable
of thinking for a group.

1984
01:24:00,502 --> 01:24:01,703
Individuals,

1985
01:24:01,770 --> 01:24:04,672
individuals are selfish.

1986
01:24:04,739 --> 01:24:07,108
When the stakes are high,

1987
01:24:07,175 --> 01:24:09,310
people would trample over each other

1988
01:24:09,377 --> 01:24:11,513
just to get the things they want.

1989
01:24:11,579 --> 01:24:12,947
It's inevitable.

1990
01:24:13,548 --> 01:24:15,784
Waves in a kiddy pool move differently

1991
01:24:15,850 --> 01:24:17,519
than waves in the ocean,

1992
01:24:18,420 --> 01:24:21,589
and my practicing thoughtful togetherness

1993
01:24:21,656 --> 01:24:24,192
will let me see the field at Deadline

1994
01:24:24,259 --> 01:24:27,162
and I will act accordingly.

1995
01:24:29,197 --> 01:24:32,000
I have to agree with Joe there.

1996
01:24:32,067 --> 01:24:34,235
We all will act differently in this.

1997
01:24:36,671 --> 01:24:39,474
This is after we qualified for this match,

1998
01:24:39,541 --> 01:24:42,544
I have had the chance
to really analyze it.

1999
01:24:42,610 --> 01:24:44,779
The Iron Survivor Challenge is just that,

2000
01:24:44,846 --> 01:24:46,047
a challenge.

2001
01:24:47,382 --> 01:24:50,085
It forces us to innovate.

2002
01:24:50,752 --> 01:24:52,353
In order to win, we must evolve.

2003
01:24:52,420 --> 01:24:54,622
Luckily, my ability to adapt

2004
01:24:54,689 --> 01:24:55,890
is my greatest strength.

2005
01:24:57,158 --> 01:24:58,026
Anyway,

2006
01:24:58,093 --> 01:25:00,795
this match will bring out
the best in all of us,

2007
01:25:00,862 --> 01:25:02,897
and any mistake will be penalized.

2008
01:25:03,832 --> 01:25:06,334
Wow, that was absolutely
beautiful spider flop.

2009
01:25:06,401 --> 01:25:07,735
-I really enjoyed that.
-Nerd.

2010
01:25:07,802 --> 01:25:08,937
Hey, agreed,

2011
01:25:09,604 --> 01:25:12,540
but I have a question for you,
Big Money Marcos WWE.

2012
01:25:13,041 --> 01:25:15,910
What position would you like
to enter this match, Axiom?

2013
01:25:16,511 --> 01:25:17,412
That's easy.

2014
01:25:17,479 --> 01:25:19,047
-First or second.
-Idiot.

2015
01:25:19,848 --> 01:25:22,650
Maximize my time that will allow me
to get the most amount of falls.

2016
01:25:23,218 --> 01:25:25,286
That will also give you
the most amount of time

2017
01:25:25,353 --> 01:25:28,189
to take falls and end up
in the penalty box.

2018
01:25:28,256 --> 01:25:29,691
I'll take the risk.

2019
01:25:30,191 --> 01:25:31,793
Ideally, though, I'll be first

2020
01:25:32,360 --> 01:25:34,395
and JD will be second.

2021
01:25:34,462 --> 01:25:36,831
Don't think that I forgot
what you did to me,

2022
01:25:36,898 --> 01:25:39,067
putting me on the sidelines
three weeks ago.

2023
01:25:39,968 --> 01:25:42,170
Twenty-five minutes
is not gonna be enough.

2024
01:25:46,941 --> 01:25:48,776
Axiom, you should be thanking me

2025
01:25:48,843 --> 01:25:50,712
that it was only weeks and not months

2026
01:25:50,778 --> 01:25:52,380
that you are rehabbing that knee.

2027
01:25:52,447 --> 01:25:55,049
On Saturday, you don't need to worry
about the penalty box.

2028
01:25:55,116 --> 01:25:57,418
You need to worry about what hospital
I'm gonna put you in.

2029
01:25:58,653 --> 01:25:59,854
Mr. McDonagh,

2030
01:26:00,755 --> 01:26:02,190
I applaud you,

2031
01:26:02,257 --> 01:26:04,826
and I am very happy
with the example you set

2032
01:26:04,893 --> 01:26:07,462
by putting Axiom in the hospital.

2033
01:26:07,529 --> 01:26:10,632
I implore you to please do it again,

2034
01:26:10,698 --> 01:26:13,468
but to answer the question.

2035
01:26:13,535 --> 01:26:15,770
The fourth spot is the spot that I want

2036
01:26:15,837 --> 01:26:17,505
because it will allow me

2037
01:26:17,572 --> 01:26:21,276
to take the advantage
over each of you while you're fatigued,

2038
01:26:21,342 --> 01:26:22,644
and I will pin

2039
01:26:23,278 --> 01:26:24,412
or fall

2040
01:26:24,946 --> 01:26:27,549
the first three so you can end up

2041
01:26:27,615 --> 01:26:31,085
in the penalty box for 90 seconds.

2042
01:26:31,152 --> 01:26:33,755
Ninety seconds as you watch

2043
01:26:33,821 --> 01:26:36,257
as all of your hopes and dreams

2044
01:26:36,324 --> 01:26:38,026
drift away.

2045
01:26:38,092 --> 01:26:41,129
I will be the Iron Survivor,

2046
01:26:41,196 --> 01:26:44,799
and the schism's tree will grow taller

2047
01:26:44,866 --> 01:26:48,102
and its roots will grow stronger.

2048
01:26:48,169 --> 01:26:49,370
Hey, listen.

2049
01:26:49,437 --> 01:26:51,506
Nobody's gonna address
the elephant in the room?

2050
01:26:52,073 --> 01:26:53,341
JD, Gacy,

2051
01:26:53,408 --> 01:26:56,277
you both shot your shot and you missed.

2052
01:26:56,344 --> 01:26:58,947
Waller, Axiom, you're all
shooting from the logo

2053
01:26:59,013 --> 01:27:01,516
if you think you're gonna be
the next number one contender.

2054
01:27:01,583 --> 01:27:04,686
Y'all don't want this like I want this.

2055
01:27:04,752 --> 01:27:08,156
This shot, I've shot
a thousand times in my mind,

2056
01:27:08,223 --> 01:27:11,092
and every single time
it's been nothing but net.

2057
01:27:11,159 --> 01:27:12,727
Hey, hey, hey.

2058
01:27:12,794 --> 01:27:14,596
First of all, this ain't your show.

2059
01:27:14,662 --> 01:27:15,563
It's mine.

2060
01:27:15,630 --> 01:27:18,533
Second of all, you're getting ahead
of yourself right now.

2061
01:27:18,600 --> 01:27:21,769
You ain't won nothing yet,
and the truth is, none of you have.

2062
01:27:21,836 --> 01:27:23,805
Grayson Waller is the favorite in this.

2063
01:27:23,871 --> 01:27:24,906
My head's on a swivel.

2064
01:27:24,973 --> 01:27:26,774
You never know who's gonna strike first.

2065
01:27:27,342 --> 01:27:28,343
[Vic] Oh!

2066
01:27:31,579 --> 01:27:33,815
It took a little bit longer
than we thought,

2067
01:27:33,881 --> 01:27:36,150
but combustible elements are exploding.

2068
01:27:36,217 --> 01:27:38,086
[Booker] What do you think, Vic?

2069
01:27:38,152 --> 01:27:40,722
This is about that [indistinct], baby.

2070
01:27:40,788 --> 01:27:42,490
[Vic] This is about setting the tone.

2071
01:27:42,557 --> 01:27:46,127
It's about setting the pace
this Saturday at Deadline.

2072
01:27:49,897 --> 01:27:52,367
Waller talks about going viral.

2073
01:27:52,433 --> 01:27:54,035
He's gonna have his opportunity.

2074
01:28:00,108 --> 01:28:02,410
Look at these five swinging away.

2075
01:28:02,477 --> 01:28:04,312
Finally, officials are coming.

2076
01:28:04,379 --> 01:28:05,847
Who will make history on Saturday?

2077
01:28:05,913 --> 01:28:09,217
Who will stake their claim
to a golden opportunity?

2078
01:28:09,284 --> 01:28:10,885
Who's gonna beat the clock

2079
01:28:10,952 --> 01:28:13,688
this Saturday at NXT Deadline?

2080
01:28:17,225 --> 01:28:18,293
Subtitles: Larissa Maia Simão
golden opportunity?
