00:00:01,234 --> 00:00:04,404
[theme music playing]

2
00:00:04,471 --> 00:00:05,472
[narrator] Then…

3
00:00:07,073 --> 00:00:07,907
[Grayson] Whoa.

4
00:00:07,974 --> 00:00:10,910
[The Rock] If you smell…

5
00:00:10,977 --> 00:00:12,078
[narrator] Now.

6
00:00:14,781 --> 00:00:17,150
-[Lemmy] The Kings of Kings.
-[Cena] You can't see me.

7
00:00:17,217 --> 00:00:18,351
[narrator] Forever.

8
00:00:22,989 --> 00:00:24,057
Together.

9
00:00:33,933 --> 00:00:37,237
All right, North Carolina,
it's about damn time.

10
00:00:37,771 --> 00:00:40,006
NXT is back on the road.

11
00:00:40,540 --> 00:00:45,912
A brand that revolutionized this industry.
But tonight, it's not about them.

12
00:00:45,979 --> 00:00:48,648
It's about this generation.

13
00:00:48,715 --> 00:00:54,320
Starting with this man,
NXT Champion, Bron Breakker.

14
00:00:54,387 --> 00:00:59,359
He will spear you so hard,
your great-grandchildren will feel it.

15
00:00:59,426 --> 00:01:03,363
His opponent,
Grayson Waller, a silver-tongued Aussie,

16
00:01:03,430 --> 00:01:08,301
who believes it's not talking smack
if you can back it up.

17
00:01:08,368 --> 00:01:13,039
Two caged animals,
but only one will come out as champion.

18
00:01:14,307 --> 00:01:16,276
From one champion to another,

19
00:01:16,342 --> 00:01:22,182
allow me to introduce
a 21-year-old Prodigy, Roxanne Perez.

20
00:01:22,248 --> 00:01:25,852
This new champion has to fend off
two toxic vultures

21
00:01:25,919 --> 00:01:30,156
whose mission is to stop the future
and rebuild their empire.

22
00:01:30,657 --> 00:01:35,028
Gigi Dolan and Jacy Jayne
will do it by any means necessary.

23
00:01:35,095 --> 00:01:37,397
[dramatic music playing]

24
00:01:37,864 --> 00:01:40,934
Yeah, there we go.

25
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:44,571
[Charlotte] For the ten people
in the world that don't know The New Day,

26
00:01:44,637 --> 00:01:48,308
they're only the greatest tag teams
in WWE history.

27
00:01:48,975 --> 00:01:53,146
Tonight, three teams respect history,
but want to write their own.

28
00:01:53,813 --> 00:01:57,851
A university rich in passion,
rich in tradition.

29
00:01:58,351 --> 00:02:01,955
A flamboyant duo
who's pretty on the outside,

30
00:02:02,021 --> 00:02:03,923
but deadly inside the ring.

31
00:02:04,591 --> 00:02:09,929
And two bruisers who are ready to reign
over a new kingdom.

32
00:02:10,830 --> 00:02:14,534
If we're talking tag teams,
where are my ladies at?

33
00:02:14,601 --> 00:02:20,140
Katana and Kayden, please stand up.
Since day one, ride or die.

34
00:02:20,206 --> 00:02:24,110
And you chose to ride all the way
to the longest reign

35
00:02:24,177 --> 00:02:26,412
in Women's Tag Team history.

36
00:02:26,479 --> 00:02:29,883
RAW, SmackDown, NXT, period.

37
00:02:30,617 --> 00:02:35,788
But there are two bitter rivals.
Fallon Henley and Kiana James.

38
00:02:35,855 --> 00:02:38,725
They put their disdain aside
for the opportunity

39
00:02:38,791 --> 00:02:42,862
to break the streets
and capture championship gold.

40
00:02:44,864 --> 00:02:47,167
If there is a way to get that W,

41
00:02:47,233 --> 00:02:50,737
North American Champion,
Wes Lee, will find it.

42
00:02:51,538 --> 00:02:56,042
But Dijak is a man on a mission,
ready to serve justice.

43
00:02:56,109 --> 00:03:01,281
It's the classic tale of David vs Goliath
for the North American title.

44
00:03:02,248 --> 00:03:04,517
And finally, there's talent.

45
00:03:05,318 --> 00:03:11,824
And then there's these two men,
Apollo Crews and Carmelo Hayes.

46
00:03:12,292 --> 00:03:14,961
They have more athleticism
in their pinky fingers

47
00:03:15,028 --> 00:03:18,565
than 99% of men have in their whole body.

48
00:03:18,631 --> 00:03:21,134
Don't blink.
You'll miss something incredible.

49
00:03:21,601 --> 00:03:24,671
Because these two men
are about to put on a show.

50
00:03:24,737 --> 00:03:27,807
Not for one fall,
but for two out of three.

51
00:03:28,908 --> 00:03:35,582
This is your moment. This is your day.
This is Vengeance Day.

52
00:03:40,653 --> 00:03:47,026
[announcer]
And now, WWE presents NXT Vengeance Day.

53
00:03:47,093 --> 00:03:50,863
[audience cheering]

54
00:03:50,930 --> 00:03:53,666
[Vic] For the first time
since we took over Portland,

55
00:03:53,733 --> 00:03:59,872
1,084 days ago, we are on the road
to raise the bar once again.

56
00:03:59,939 --> 00:04:06,112
Each superstar looking to steal the show.
Welcome to Vengeance Day.

57
00:04:06,179 --> 00:04:09,882
Vic Joseph alongside the two-time,
two-time WWE Hall of Famer,

58
00:04:09,949 --> 00:04:11,884
the one, the only Booker T.

59
00:04:11,951 --> 00:04:14,587
Booker, do you hear Charlotte?
Can you feel it?

60
00:04:14,654 --> 00:04:17,190
-Are you ready?
-I'm excited, man.

61
00:04:17,257 --> 00:04:20,159
You know, I started my career
in cities just like this.

62
00:04:20,226 --> 00:04:22,996
Charlotte, North Carolina.
And it was always hot.

63
00:04:23,062 --> 00:04:28,134
And we ain't got time. Let's spin this up.
Shucky ducky quack quack.

64
00:04:28,201 --> 00:04:31,170
Let's get set
for the first of five championship matches

65
00:04:31,237 --> 00:04:33,573
tonight at Vengeance Day.

66
00:04:35,608 --> 00:04:38,978
["Assemble" playing]

67
00:04:45,351 --> 00:04:46,419
[bell ringing]

68
00:04:46,486 --> 00:04:49,122
[Alicia] The following contest
scheduled for one fall

69
00:04:49,188 --> 00:04:55,194
is for the NXT
North American Championship.

70
00:04:55,261 --> 00:05:00,767
Introducing first,
he is the NXT North American Champion,

71
00:05:00,833 --> 00:05:04,304
Wes Lee.

72
00:05:04,370 --> 00:05:05,471
[audience cheering]

73
00:05:05,538 --> 00:05:09,175
[Vic] For Wes Lee, it's all been a dream.
He used to read WWE Magazine.

74
00:05:09,242 --> 00:05:11,644
Now, he's champ
riding with Shawn up in the limo.

75
00:05:11,711 --> 00:05:14,414
He has turned away everything,
all the doubters,

76
00:05:14,480 --> 00:05:18,584
all the naysayers
over the last year to rise above it all.

77
00:05:18,651 --> 00:05:20,653
[Booker] I like this kid, Wes Lee.

78
00:05:20,720 --> 00:05:25,124
But I hope that dream
don't turn into a nightmare tonight

79
00:05:25,191 --> 00:05:27,960
because he's taking on Dijak,
and that man--

80
00:05:28,027 --> 00:05:30,630
Oh, my God. This is going to be good.

81
00:05:31,631 --> 00:05:34,567
[Vic] See the confidence
oozing from Wes Lee,

82
00:05:34,634 --> 00:05:36,669
who has put it all on the line

83
00:05:37,270 --> 00:05:42,575
to hold his first singles championship
ever in his entire career.

84
00:05:42,642 --> 00:05:45,712
[Booker] You gotta love that
this kid did that one thing, Vic.

85
00:05:45,778 --> 00:05:49,649
He's worked to get to this spot
and I'm sure he wants to keep it.

86
00:05:50,349 --> 00:05:53,386
["Driver" playing]

87
00:06:14,574 --> 00:06:20,446
[Alicia]
And introducing the challenger, Dijak.

88
00:06:20,513 --> 00:06:22,882
[Vic] Book, keeping it is easier
said than done.

89
00:06:22,949 --> 00:06:26,586
I want to bring forward something
that the challenger said recently.

90
00:06:26,652 --> 00:06:32,325
He said Wes Lee has no chance tonight.
Do you agree with that?

91
00:06:32,392 --> 00:06:35,361
[Booker] You know, I'll tell you,
I don't agree with that.

92
00:06:35,428 --> 00:06:39,699
And the reason why I had to do
some research on this kid, Wes Lee.

93
00:06:39,766 --> 00:06:41,701
This kid has been all over the world.

94
00:06:41,768 --> 00:06:45,271
He stands for every independent spot
out there,

95
00:06:45,338 --> 00:06:48,741
the small ones as well as the big ones,
and you know he got it coming?

96
00:06:48,808 --> 00:06:53,112
He has been champion in each and every one
of those organizations,

97
00:06:53,179 --> 00:06:57,016
and now he is the North American Champion
here in NXT.

98
00:06:57,083 --> 00:07:01,687
He's worked for that, Vic.
He's earned that spot. That's Wes Lee.

99
00:07:01,754 --> 00:07:05,158
[Vic] Tonight for Wes Lee,
it's more than just a title defense, Book.

100
00:07:05,224 --> 00:07:08,895
Because Lee refuses
to let anyone pass judgment

101
00:07:08,961 --> 00:07:11,864
on who he is or what he represents.

102
00:07:11,931 --> 00:07:16,068
This is about more than just
the North American Championship to Lee.

103
00:07:16,135 --> 00:07:19,906
[Booker] Vic, let me tell you something.
When you come up with certain wins,

104
00:07:19,972 --> 00:07:22,341
when you walk through fire,
when you've seen it,

105
00:07:22,408 --> 00:07:26,012
and I'm sure this kid knows
exactly what I'm talking about.

106
00:07:26,078 --> 00:07:27,547
There's nothing to fear.

107
00:07:27,613 --> 00:07:30,750
This man is just another obstacle
in front of him.

108
00:07:30,817 --> 00:07:31,818
[audience cheering]

109
00:07:31,884 --> 00:07:34,387
[Vic] Listen to the NXT Universe
here in Charlotte.

110
00:07:34,454 --> 00:07:38,191
We are setting the tone
for Vengeance Day tonight.

111
00:07:38,257 --> 00:07:45,031
[audience chanting] Wes Lee!

112
00:07:45,898 --> 00:07:48,100
[Vic laughs] Book, there's no doubt

113
00:07:48,167 --> 00:07:51,871
everyone in the corner of Wes Lee,
aka The Cardiac Kid,

114
00:07:51,938 --> 00:07:54,907
-if the one year has proved anything.
-[Dijak] Your last chance, Wes.

115
00:07:54,974 --> 00:07:56,175
You can just give up.

116
00:07:56,242 --> 00:07:57,543
[audience cheering]

117
00:07:57,610 --> 00:08:00,746
[Vic] As you hear Dijak say, "Give up,"
there's no quit in Wes Lee.

118
00:08:00,813 --> 00:08:04,250
If the last 12 months has proved anything,
Lee can never be counted out.

119
00:08:04,717 --> 00:08:05,751
[Booker] That's true,

120
00:08:05,818 --> 00:08:11,357
but tonight, Wes Lee is going to have
to walk through fire at Vengeance Day.

121
00:08:11,424 --> 00:08:13,826
He's going to have to weather a storm,

122
00:08:13,893 --> 00:08:18,364
and that storm could be an F5, Vic,
with this kid, Dijak.

123
00:08:18,965 --> 00:08:21,601
[Vic] We talk about Dijak looking
to become the 15th different superstar

124
00:08:21,667 --> 00:08:23,703
to hold on to the North American title,

125
00:08:23,769 --> 00:08:29,842
and already showcasing
the size in this matchup.

126
00:08:30,743 --> 00:08:34,514
And there you see
the number one trend worldwide, Book.

127
00:08:34,580 --> 00:08:37,516
That's right here, Vengeance Day,
Charlotte, North Carolina.

128
00:08:37,583 --> 00:08:41,120
[Booker] Yes, indeed, right there.
That shot that Wes Lee just took.

129
00:08:41,187 --> 00:08:44,724
He'll take a lot of shots like that,
but he'll have to figure out

130
00:08:44,790 --> 00:08:48,761
how to counter some of those shots
in order to stay in the game here, Vic.

131
00:08:48,828 --> 00:08:52,398
[audience chanting] Wes Lee!

132
00:08:52,465 --> 00:08:58,070
[Vic] Is there doubt creeping in Wes Lee?
Oh, Lee baiting in Dijak.

133
00:08:58,137 --> 00:09:01,574
-[Booker chuckling]
-[Vic] I was concerned for a second, Book.

134
00:09:01,641 --> 00:09:04,210
[Booker] This kid's smart.
He'll have to use his quickness…

135
00:09:04,277 --> 00:09:06,646
-[Vic] There it is. Safe.
-[Booker] …his ability to stay

136
00:09:06,712 --> 00:09:09,815
on his bicycle here tonight with this man.

137
00:09:09,882 --> 00:09:14,186
[Vic] Lee doing just that, showcasing
that speed and quickness and athleticism,

138
00:09:14,253 --> 00:09:16,389
as you can see the obvious size advantage.

139
00:09:16,455 --> 00:09:18,291
[Booker] I don't like that move there.

140
00:09:18,357 --> 00:09:21,661
[Vic] Lee's heard all the chirping.
He isn't big enough to beat Dijak.

141
00:09:21,727 --> 00:09:24,297
He isn't strong enough
to retain the championship.

142
00:09:24,363 --> 00:09:27,600
He's continuing to silence
all those that doubt his reign

143
00:09:27,667 --> 00:09:29,702
and his ability inside the ring.

144
00:09:29,769 --> 00:09:32,305
[Booker] I like everything
that Wes Lee is doing,

145
00:09:32,371 --> 00:09:34,840
-but right now he's making a mistake.
-[Vic] Oh, buddy.

146
00:09:34,907 --> 00:09:37,977
[Booker] He's just getting
too close to this man, Dijak.

147
00:09:38,044 --> 00:09:41,047
He needs to keep his distance,
so to speak.

148
00:09:41,113 --> 00:09:43,349
[Vic] I don't know what Lee's thinking,

149
00:09:43,416 --> 00:09:45,084
but he could be looking
to close the distance.

150
00:09:45,151 --> 00:09:48,254
Nice dropkick and out.
Dijak getting too close to us over here.

151
00:09:48,321 --> 00:09:50,056
[grunting]

152
00:09:50,122 --> 00:09:55,127
[Vic] Game plan for Lee.
Right now, target acquired. Oh, no.

153
00:09:55,194 --> 00:09:57,730
-[Booker] Got caught, Vic. Oh.
-[Vic] Oh.

154
00:09:57,797 --> 00:10:00,032
[Booker]
Oh, that's that storm I'm talking about.

155
00:10:00,099 --> 00:10:03,836
The clouds right now,
they're getting darker by the minute.

156
00:10:03,903 --> 00:10:06,906
[Vic] That could be it, though.
Dijak sensing it, realizing it quickly,

157
00:10:06,973 --> 00:10:08,074
getting Lee back into the ring,

158
00:10:08,140 --> 00:10:10,843
the only place Dijak can win
the North American title.

159
00:10:10,910 --> 00:10:15,014
Into the cover, and, oh,
just getting the left shoulder up.

160
00:10:15,081 --> 00:10:16,515
But take another look.

161
00:10:16,582 --> 00:10:20,319
Book, this is right here in front of us,
just nasty impact.

162
00:10:20,386 --> 00:10:23,823
[Booker] Man, I love that Dijak
took advantage of that ten seconds

163
00:10:23,889 --> 00:10:27,860
to land that one big blow
and then get Wes Lee back.

164
00:10:27,927 --> 00:10:31,163
-Almost got the cover.
-[Vic] Another cover, another kick out.

165
00:10:31,230 --> 00:10:34,867
Book, there's not a lot of oomph
on those kick outs.

166
00:10:34,934 --> 00:10:38,270
[Booker] Let me tell you something,
Vic, ask me what I think of Dijak.

167
00:10:38,337 --> 00:10:43,142
-[Vic] What do you think of Dijak?
-[Booker] He's a monster, baby.

168
00:10:43,209 --> 00:10:48,147
And right now,
Wes Lee is going to have to deal with it.

169
00:10:48,214 --> 00:10:52,018
[Vic] Well, Dijak, who feels that
Wes Lee's title reign is criminal,

170
00:10:52,084 --> 00:10:56,555
return to NXT as we've seen, Book,
with great vengeance and furious anger.

171
00:10:56,622 --> 00:11:01,494
But is it just?
Does he have the right to be that angry?

172
00:11:01,560 --> 00:11:04,497
We still haven't figured that one out.
He talked about serving brand of justice.

173
00:11:04,563 --> 00:11:06,432
[Booker] You remind me of something there

174
00:11:06,499 --> 00:11:12,138
and will strike any man that down there
trying to strike fear in my brother.

175
00:11:12,204 --> 00:11:15,141
-A little something [inaudible].
-[Vic] Into the cover.

176
00:11:15,207 --> 00:11:17,209
[Booker chuckling]
Let me tell you something.

177
00:11:17,276 --> 00:11:19,812
Dijak is a man on a mission, Vic.

178
00:11:19,879 --> 00:11:23,449
Dijak is a man here
to strike fear in a man.

179
00:11:23,516 --> 00:11:27,620
He's here to create destruction.
Tonight, he has gotta go through that.

180
00:11:27,687 --> 00:11:29,155
[Vic] Look at the human destruction.

181
00:11:29,221 --> 00:11:32,291
Take a look at the distance,
the nasty landing for Wes Lee.

182
00:11:32,358 --> 00:11:35,394
Look, Dijak made his goal very clear
since his return.

183
00:11:35,461 --> 00:11:37,797
It was to become
the North American Champion.

184
00:11:37,863 --> 00:11:40,599
Earned this opportunity by defeating
Tony D'Angelo several weeks ago.

185
00:11:40,666 --> 00:11:44,770
Solidified this past Tuesday
that he's the biggest and the baddest,

186
00:11:44,837 --> 00:11:48,808
and he could be closing in
on becoming North American Champion,

187
00:11:48,874 --> 00:11:51,844
just disposing off the champion
to the floor.

188
00:11:52,511 --> 00:11:55,448
-[Booker] Wow.
-[Vic] Unreal strength

189
00:11:55,514 --> 00:11:58,651
being shown by Dijak,
and he's showing us, Book.

190
00:11:58,718 --> 00:12:00,853
-He might be answering my question.
-[Booker] Check this out.

191
00:12:00,920 --> 00:12:02,621
[Vic] This is his brand of justice.

192
00:12:02,688 --> 00:12:05,057
[Booker] That's taking out the trash
right there.

193
00:12:05,124 --> 00:12:11,497
This man, Dijak, is here to create pain,
destruction, chaos, havoc.

194
00:12:11,564 --> 00:12:16,469
Right now, Wes Lee is feeling
each and every bit of it. Trust me, Vic.

195
00:12:16,535 --> 00:12:19,505
[Vic] Dijak gave Wes Lee the opportunity

196
00:12:19,572 --> 00:12:22,575
to hand
over the North American Championship.

197
00:12:22,641 --> 00:12:29,081
In a moment, Wes Lee laid down tonight,
but for Dijak, right now, scary strength.

198
00:12:29,148 --> 00:12:30,382
Into the cover again,

199
00:12:30,449 --> 00:12:34,587
finally get his shoulders down
and Lee powering out again at two.

200
00:12:34,653 --> 00:12:36,689
-Look at Dijak. Is that frustration?
-[Booker] He's a fighter.

201
00:12:36,756 --> 00:12:38,157
No, that's not frustration.

202
00:12:38,224 --> 00:12:40,693
It's just knowing
I gotta do a bit more work.

203
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:43,162
I just gotta punish
this man a little bit more.

204
00:12:43,229 --> 00:12:47,233
I just gotta make him feel this pain
just a little bit more.

205
00:12:47,299 --> 00:12:51,137
And trust me, Dijak don't mind doing that.
Check this out.

206
00:12:51,203 --> 00:12:54,774
Oh, my goodness. Oh, my goodness, Vic.

207
00:12:55,341 --> 00:12:58,310
[Lee coughing]

208
00:12:58,377 --> 00:13:02,148
[audience booing]

209
00:13:02,214 --> 00:13:05,017
[Vic] You can hear Lee. It's hard for him
to breathe at this moment.

210
00:13:05,084 --> 00:13:08,387
You gotta start wondering going back
to getting tossed over the top rope.

211
00:13:08,454 --> 00:13:12,391
These just vile shots right now
from Dijak.

212
00:13:12,458 --> 00:13:14,426
[Booker] Remember,
we had Wes Lee at this table?

213
00:13:14,493 --> 00:13:17,796
He said this is what he wants.
He wants to be the best in the business.

214
00:13:17,863 --> 00:13:19,732
And he's willing to take on the best.

215
00:13:19,799 --> 00:13:23,202
He's willing to go through anything
to hold on to that championship.

216
00:13:23,269 --> 00:13:27,706
And tonight, Vic,
I'm thinking this could be over.

217
00:13:27,773 --> 00:13:30,276
This run could be over here tonight.

218
00:13:30,342 --> 00:13:33,512
[Vic] Dijak looking for the justice
that he has been talking about for weeks.

219
00:13:33,579 --> 00:13:37,616
Looking to finally call himself
the North American Champion

220
00:13:37,683 --> 00:13:42,221
as he just continues to punish Wes Lee,
but that could be a turning point.

221
00:13:42,288 --> 00:13:44,223
[audience cheering]

222
00:13:44,290 --> 00:13:47,092
[Vic] Lee's getting
several seconds right now.

223
00:13:47,159 --> 00:13:50,362
Valuable seconds to regroup and refocus.

224
00:13:50,429 --> 00:13:55,267
[Booker] Like I say, not be able to avoid.
You gotta be able to counter here, Vic.

225
00:13:55,334 --> 00:13:57,803
[audience chanting] Wes Lee!

226
00:13:57,870 --> 00:14:03,576
[Booker] Wes Lee needs to land a big shot
to try to level the playing field somehow.

227
00:14:04,276 --> 00:14:06,645
[Vic] We talk about his speed,
his quickness.

228
00:14:06,712 --> 00:14:10,516
Now, Lee trying to become very elusive,
but as we talked about earlier,

229
00:14:10,583 --> 00:14:12,952
shouldn't he be trading
rights and left with Dijak?

230
00:14:13,018 --> 00:14:15,187
[Booker] Lee's got a lotta fight
and a lotta heart,

231
00:14:15,254 --> 00:14:18,624
but standing up against a big guy
like this, I don't think it's wise,

232
00:14:18,691 --> 00:14:20,693
-but he's doing great.
-[Vic] He's shrinking that big guy.

233
00:14:20,759 --> 00:14:23,629
What a right hand by Lee.
Lee right now with Dijak.

234
00:14:24,096 --> 00:14:28,133
Possibly on the ropes. Puts on the brakes
right back in, taking Dijak down.

235
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:29,435
[audience cheering]

236
00:14:29,501 --> 00:14:31,637
[Booker] Oh, wow.

237
00:14:32,872 --> 00:14:34,807
-[Vic] Hey.
-[Booker] That's smart.

238
00:14:34,873 --> 00:14:39,578
-Too much weight from this big man, Dijak.
-[Vic] If at first, you don't succeed,

239
00:14:39,645 --> 00:14:44,817
try to go another route.
Third time, will it be the charm?

240
00:14:44,884 --> 00:14:47,887
Got him over. Bridge, count.

241
00:14:47,953 --> 00:14:51,490
Kick out by Dijak. Oh!

242
00:14:51,557 --> 00:14:53,225
[audience chattering]

243
00:14:53,292 --> 00:14:54,793
[Booker] Wow.

244
00:14:54,860 --> 00:14:58,464
[Vic] And Dijak might not even realize
what the heck just transpired

245
00:14:58,530 --> 00:15:02,868
as you are taking a look
at the Spectrum Center in Charlotte.

246
00:15:02,935 --> 00:15:06,171
It is hitting right now
a showcase from Wes Lee

247
00:15:06,238 --> 00:15:10,743
battling back through, bam,
out the adversity in this matchup.

248
00:15:10,809 --> 00:15:14,780
And take a look at the strength
on display by Wes Lee,

249
00:15:14,847 --> 00:15:17,683
almost, almost retaining the championship.

250
00:15:17,750 --> 00:15:21,153
[Booker] Like I say, Vic, this kid
has been champion all over the world.

251
00:15:21,220 --> 00:15:22,421
This is nothing new for him,

252
00:15:22,488 --> 00:15:25,858
being in this position
with someone like a Dijak.

253
00:15:25,925 --> 00:15:29,395
But I'll tell you tonight,
he'll have to dig real deep,

254
00:15:29,461 --> 00:15:32,965
and he'll have to pull it out
with this man here, Dijak, tonight.

255
00:15:33,499 --> 00:15:38,537
[Vic] Oh, not again, Book. Lee sensing it.
Lee trying to wiggle free,

256
00:15:38,604 --> 00:15:41,040
-trying to get down.
-[Booker] Wrong part of town there, Vic.

257
00:15:41,106 --> 00:15:44,443
Wrong part of town there on that apron,
the hardest part of the mat.

258
00:15:44,510 --> 00:15:46,945
-[Vic] Both these… Oh.
-[Booker] Oh.

259
00:15:47,012 --> 00:15:49,181
-[Vic] What were you just saying, Book?
-[Booker] Wow.

260
00:15:49,248 --> 00:15:54,687
[Vic] This is now that moment for Lee.
Wes Lee, the North American Champion.

261
00:15:54,753 --> 00:15:55,954
[audience cheering]

262
00:15:56,021 --> 00:15:57,623
-[Vic] Fire in his eye.
-[Booker] He's digging.

263
00:15:57,690 --> 00:15:59,625
-He's going for it.
-[Vic] Looking to fly.

264
00:15:59,692 --> 00:16:00,893
[Booker] Goodness.

265
00:16:00,959 --> 00:16:02,661
[audience cheering]

266
00:16:02,728 --> 00:16:04,463
[Booker] With the greatest of ease,

267
00:16:04,530 --> 00:16:08,634
the balance, technique, timing,
this kid. Wow.

268
00:16:08,701 --> 00:16:10,969
[audience chanting] Wes Lee!

269
00:16:11,036 --> 00:16:13,105
[Booker chuckling]

270
00:16:14,506 --> 00:16:17,309
[Vic] This is what NXT is about,
raising the bar,

271
00:16:17,376 --> 00:16:18,677
setting a new standard,

272
00:16:18,744 --> 00:16:22,648
and Wes Lee doing just that
as North American Champion.

273
00:16:24,483 --> 00:16:27,519
Oh. Oh, no, no, Dijak. Dijak caught Lee.

274
00:16:27,586 --> 00:16:30,422
-[Booker] Fell right into it, Vic.
-[Vic] Dijak looking for feast your eyes.

275
00:16:30,489 --> 00:16:34,426
Trying to counter.
Oh, counter by Lee. Poisonrana.

276
00:16:34,493 --> 00:16:36,962
-[audience cheering]
-[Booker chuckling]

277
00:16:37,029 --> 00:16:38,997
[audience clamoring]

278
00:16:39,064 --> 00:16:41,633
[Vic] And Lee now turning things
right around.

279
00:16:41,700 --> 00:16:43,535
What the heck is Lee thinking?

280
00:16:44,536 --> 00:16:46,338
-That's got to be it.
-[audience cheering]

281
00:16:46,405 --> 00:16:50,676
-[audience counting, "One, two, three."]
-[Vic] Oh-ho.

282
00:16:50,743 --> 00:16:51,977
[audience cheering]

283
00:16:52,044 --> 00:16:54,146
-[Booker] Wow.
-[Vic] What…

284
00:16:54,213 --> 00:16:55,781
-[Booker] Wow.
-[Vic] …action.

285
00:16:56,615 --> 00:17:01,253
And, Book, this is just the first match
of the night here at Vengeance Day.

286
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:04,590
But you talked about it,
the balance, the agility…

287
00:17:04,656 --> 00:17:05,958
-[Booker] Timing.
-[Vic] …the athleticism.

288
00:17:06,024 --> 00:17:07,860
-[Booker] Oh, my God.
-[Vic] Picture perfect.

289
00:17:07,926 --> 00:17:10,396
[Booker] Oh, my God!
With the greatest of ease.

290
00:17:10,462 --> 00:17:13,966
[Vic] And then not to be outdone,
showcasing more power.

291
00:17:14,032 --> 00:17:17,336
And yet again, though,
Dijak just able to get that shoulder up.

292
00:17:17,403 --> 00:17:22,541
[Booker] Now, Wes Lee, is, you know,
I don't say this too often, Vic,

293
00:17:22,608 --> 00:17:25,878
-[Vic] Climbing into that vibe, Book?
-[Booker] …he's extraordinary.

294
00:17:25,944 --> 00:17:28,280
[Booker] I mean, right now,
he's weathered that storm.

295
00:17:28,347 --> 00:17:34,286
Right now, Dijak, he's in dire straits.
He's in the wrong side of town. Oh, no.

296
00:17:34,353 --> 00:17:35,788
[Vic] Lee sensed it and able to get away.

297
00:17:35,854 --> 00:17:38,690
Oh, caught Dijak with a superkick
under the jaw.

298
00:17:39,725 --> 00:17:41,527
-Lee looking to fly.
-[Booker] Lost his balance there

299
00:17:41,593 --> 00:17:43,128
-for a second.
-[Vic] And that hesitation.

300
00:17:43,195 --> 00:17:46,298
-[Booker] Lost his balance for a sec, Vic.
-[Vic] That hesitation opens the door

301
00:17:46,365 --> 00:17:48,567
for some High Justice.

302
00:17:48,634 --> 00:17:51,804
-[Booker] Oh, that's it.
-[Vic] Dijak to crown him--

303
00:17:51,870 --> 00:17:55,007
-[Vic] Oh, no, no, no, no, no, no.
-[Booker] Oh, Lee, look.

304
00:17:55,073 --> 00:17:58,811
[Booker] Look in the eyes, Vic.
That right there tells me a story.

305
00:17:58,877 --> 00:18:00,913
This kid got a lot left in the tank.

306
00:18:00,979 --> 00:18:03,382
[Vic] Wait a minute.
Dijak trying to look for a--

307
00:18:03,449 --> 00:18:06,885
Looks like almost a version
of the crossfaced chicken wing.

308
00:18:06,952 --> 00:18:08,687
-[Booker] Dijak--
-[Vic] He's fading.

309
00:18:08,754 --> 00:18:10,689
[Booker] Dijak trying to slow
this thing down.

310
00:18:10,756 --> 00:18:13,125
He's trying to slow it down
and put this kid to sleep.

311
00:18:13,192 --> 00:18:15,761
[Vic] That's one way to put out that fire
you're talking about, Book.

312
00:18:15,828 --> 00:18:18,464
Trying to extinguish that flame
inside Lee.

313
00:18:18,530 --> 00:18:20,866
[Booker] Lee's had a lotta fight in him.

314
00:18:20,933 --> 00:18:24,169
Now, Dijak trying to just sap
all of it outta him right now.

315
00:18:24,236 --> 00:18:27,139
[Vic] Lee, you see the agony
on the face of the champion.

316
00:18:27,739 --> 00:18:31,110
Challenger trying to hold on,
and Lee trying to roll through,

317
00:18:31,176 --> 00:18:33,879
he might've put himself
in a worse position and he did.

318
00:18:33,946 --> 00:18:36,014
-[Vic] Body scissors.
-[Booker] He's about to go to sleep.

319
00:18:36,081 --> 00:18:38,650
[Booker] He'll go to sleep.
He's gotto tap. He's gotta tap.

320
00:18:38,717 --> 00:18:41,019
-[Booker] His heart won't let him…
-[Vic] Ref's in great position.

321
00:18:41,086 --> 00:18:44,323
[Vic] You can see in the champion's eyes
starting to fade.

322
00:18:44,389 --> 00:18:47,626
Are we moments away from crowning
a new North American Champion?

323
00:18:47,693 --> 00:18:50,662
[Booker] The referee may have to have
the wherewithal to understand

324
00:18:50,729 --> 00:18:53,465
and the know how to do his job
and stop this thing right now.

325
00:18:53,532 --> 00:18:55,667
This kid's gonna sleep. He's gonna sleep.

326
00:18:55,734 --> 00:18:57,336
[audience cheering]

327
00:18:57,402 --> 00:19:01,406
[Vic] Uh-uh. Lee with one last surge.

328
00:19:01,473 --> 00:19:05,377
-One last burst of energy.
-[Booker] Oh.

329
00:19:05,444 --> 00:19:07,946
-[chuckling] Like I said, Vic.
-[audience chattering]

330
00:19:08,013 --> 00:19:11,550
[Booker] Still got some fumes left
in the tank.

331
00:19:12,117 --> 00:19:17,256
[Vic] Reaching so close.
So close. Fingertips away.

332
00:19:18,390 --> 00:19:20,893
Oh, no. Oh, getting hoisted up by Dijak.

333
00:19:20,959 --> 00:19:22,127
[audience cheering]

334
00:19:22,194 --> 00:19:23,862
[Vic] Challenger now.

335
00:19:23,929 --> 00:19:26,064
-Feast… Counter.
-[Booker] Wow.

336
00:19:26,131 --> 00:19:29,668
There's the counter
I was talking about. Whoa! Wow!

337
00:19:30,168 --> 00:19:32,738
[Vic] Another near-fall.
And Dijak one more time,

338
00:19:32,804 --> 00:19:34,239
looking for High Justice.

339
00:19:34,306 --> 00:19:36,074
-[thuds]
-[Booker] Oh, this kid is…

340
00:19:36,141 --> 00:19:39,011
-[Vic] Boom!
-[Booker] This kid is extraordinary.

341
00:19:39,077 --> 00:19:42,915
That balance right there is unbelievable.
Wow.

342
00:19:42,981 --> 00:19:46,218
[Vic] We talked about Dijak being bigger,
being stronger,

343
00:19:46,285 --> 00:19:49,555
but it's like Lee said,
"It's not about what you don't have.

344
00:19:49,621 --> 00:19:51,356
It's about what you do."

345
00:19:51,423 --> 00:19:52,524
And from this seat,

346
00:19:52,591 --> 00:19:57,362
Lee's showing you his heart
and his unyielding desire to win.

347
00:19:57,429 --> 00:19:59,731
-[Booker] Heart, will, determinism.
-[Vic] Dijak smiling.

348
00:19:59,798 --> 00:20:02,467
-[Booker] Both of these guys wanna be--
-[audience gasping]

349
00:20:02,534 --> 00:20:07,673
Both of these guys want to be the top guy,
to be the man in this game. Oh, my God.

350
00:20:07,739 --> 00:20:10,375
-That could be it.
-[Vic] Lee might've just…

351
00:20:10,442 --> 00:20:13,679
-[Booker] Lee ran into it.
-[Vic] …lead to Orlando. A kick out.

352
00:20:13,745 --> 00:20:15,247
[Booker] Man, did you see that?

353
00:20:15,314 --> 00:20:18,650
Wes Lee, all the momentum
ran right into that big boot.

354
00:20:18,717 --> 00:20:22,020
-That should have been it, Vic.
-[Vic] Dijak shocked.

355
00:20:22,087 --> 00:20:24,890
Lee trying to figure out
where he exactly is at.

356
00:20:26,225 --> 00:20:28,760
[Booker] Oh, one more.
Let's do it. Finish it.

357
00:20:28,827 --> 00:20:32,231
-[Vic] Boom.
-[Booker] Lee's gotta be out right now.

358
00:20:32,297 --> 00:20:35,934
I mean, he's got a heart
as big as Texas, but that's gotta be it.

359
00:20:36,001 --> 00:20:37,903
-[Booker] Oh-uh!
-[audience cheering]

360
00:20:37,970 --> 00:20:41,740
-[Vic] Book, you are shocked.
-[Booker] Come on. Come on, Vic.

361
00:20:41,807 --> 00:20:43,675
[Vic] Dijak in disbelief.

362
00:20:44,309 --> 00:20:49,815
And for Wes Lee, the question becomes,
is this instinct? What does he have left?

363
00:20:49,881 --> 00:20:53,252
[Booker] Right now, Wes Lee is working
off pure heart, the will, the desire.

364
00:20:53,318 --> 00:20:59,024
Right now, the person
that's questioning himself is Dijak.

365
00:20:59,091 --> 00:21:03,996
I'm sure Dijak thought he hit
the big blow-off of five-ten minutes ago.

366
00:21:04,062 --> 00:21:06,498
[indistinct chatter]

367
00:21:06,565 --> 00:21:10,335
[Vic] Dijak has told us
about his brand of justice.

368
00:21:10,402 --> 00:21:15,140
This would be wronging a right.
And for Dijak now,

369
00:21:15,207 --> 00:21:18,110
looking for that exclamation point
here tonight.

370
00:21:18,176 --> 00:21:21,880
[Booker] Vic, what is that role?
What is it? Do you know?

371
00:21:22,948 --> 00:21:23,949
-[Vic] To Dijak?
-[Booker] Yes.

372
00:21:24,016 --> 00:21:25,651
[Vic] It's everything
that's happened in his past.

373
00:21:25,717 --> 00:21:27,853
It's the fact that he has never been
North American Champion.

374
00:21:27,919 --> 00:21:31,990
He's trying to right that wrong
tonight and he could be looking for…

375
00:21:32,057 --> 00:21:33,558
[audience clamoring]

376
00:21:33,625 --> 00:21:36,461
[Booker] Oh, my God, I don't like this.

377
00:21:37,229 --> 00:21:38,397
[Vic] Dijak now.

378
00:21:38,463 --> 00:21:41,266
-[Booker] Dijak's looking to end this kid.
-[Vic] You talk about the official,

379
00:21:41,333 --> 00:21:43,201
-the official--
-[Booker] Oh, my God.

380
00:21:43,268 --> 00:21:44,436
[Vic] Oh.

381
00:21:44,503 --> 00:21:48,340
[audience cheering]

382
00:21:48,407 --> 00:21:51,510
[Vic] Wes Lee
somehow getting back to his feet,

383
00:21:51,576 --> 00:21:57,049
somehow able to climb to the top.
Dijak's not moving, Lee looking to fly.

384
00:21:57,115 --> 00:21:58,350
[audience cheering]

385
00:21:58,417 --> 00:21:59,518
[Vic] Boom.

387
00:22:01,653 --> 00:22:04,423
[audience] One, two, three!

388
00:22:04,489 --> 00:22:07,192
[Vic] You've gotta be kidding me.

389
00:22:07,259 --> 00:22:10,929
[Booker] Bro,
you gotta be kidding me, Vic.

390
00:22:10,996 --> 00:22:12,364
[Vic] That's what I said, Book.

391
00:22:12,431 --> 00:22:15,767
[Booker] You gotta be kidding me,
Dijak just took a hard shot,

392
00:22:15,834 --> 00:22:20,572
probably the hardest shot of this battle,
this contest and he's still-- Oh, my God.

393
00:22:20,639 --> 00:22:21,907
Oh, wow.

394
00:22:21,973 --> 00:22:24,409
[Vic] You talk about nasty landings,
one right there.

395
00:22:24,476 --> 00:22:28,180
Take a look at this perfect landing again
by Wes Lee.

396
00:22:28,246 --> 00:22:31,283
Wes Lee is risking it all,
we're talking about high risk,

397
00:22:31,350 --> 00:22:34,086
we're talking about high reward,
right there was the reward.

398
00:22:34,152 --> 00:22:38,523
He was retaining his title on this stage,
Vengeance Day in Charlotte.

399
00:22:38,590 --> 00:22:41,426
[audience clamoring]

400
00:22:41,960 --> 00:22:46,131
[Vic] Oh, Dijak had it scouted,
saw it coming.

401
00:22:47,065 --> 00:22:53,004
[Booker] Dijak gotta be the toughest man
I've ever seen in my life. Oh, my God.

402
00:22:53,071 --> 00:22:59,511
[audience clamoring]

403
00:22:59,578 --> 00:23:03,715
[Vic] This is just the first match
here at Vengeance Day tonight.

404
00:23:06,017 --> 00:23:09,154
[Vic] And you said you were speechless.
You said you didn't understand--

405
00:23:09,221 --> 00:23:13,892
We are right now looking at Dijak,
who has taken the best shot from Wes Lee.

406
00:23:13,959 --> 00:23:16,595
[audience shouting]

407
00:23:17,396 --> 00:23:21,333
[Vic] You hear the official,
this is ref's discretion at this moment.

408
00:23:22,834 --> 00:23:24,569
Nowhere for Lee to go.

409
00:23:24,636 --> 00:23:27,305
[referee] Move. Come on.

410
00:23:27,372 --> 00:23:28,940
-[Booker] The ref--
[Vic] Is this justice, Book?

411
00:23:29,007 --> 00:23:31,143
-[Booker] This is the championship match.
-[Vic] Is this justice?

412
00:23:31,209 --> 00:23:33,979
[Booker] This is street justice here.
That's what this is, Vic.

413
00:23:34,045 --> 00:23:35,881
-[Vic] Street justice?
-[Booker] This is street justice.

414
00:23:35,947 --> 00:23:38,283
What's wrong with you, Dijak?

415
00:23:38,350 --> 00:23:40,552
[Vic] This is about
the North American Championship.

416
00:23:40,619 --> 00:23:43,688
Don't jump there. Come on.

417
00:23:43,755 --> 00:23:46,458
[Vic] Wes Lee is right here in front of us
not moving.

418
00:23:46,525 --> 00:23:48,560
[Booker] Oh, my God,
he's not gonna do this.

419
00:23:48,627 --> 00:23:50,162
-[Vic] Dijak…
-[Booker] There's no way he'll--

420
00:23:50,228 --> 00:23:52,631
-[Vic] …yelling.
-[Booker] There's no way he'll do this.

421
00:23:52,697 --> 00:23:57,636
-[Vic] Dijak, D'Angelo and Stacks.
-[Booker] Whoa. What the--

422
00:23:59,237 --> 00:24:01,673
[Vic] Dijak didn't get exactly
what he was looking for.

423
00:24:04,342 --> 00:24:05,177
[Vic] What's going on?

424
00:24:05,243 --> 00:24:06,978
-[Dijak] Stay outta my business.
-[Booker] What the--

425
00:24:07,045 --> 00:24:09,614
[Vic] Dijak just yelled,
"Stay out of my business."

426
00:24:09,681 --> 00:24:13,785
[audience chanting indistinctly]

427
00:24:13,852 --> 00:24:16,021
[Vic] Dijak, oh, got caught.

428
00:24:16,822 --> 00:24:19,524
Knees buckled,
Dijak can't get back to his feet.

429
00:24:19,591 --> 00:24:21,793
-[Booker] That window just opened for Lee.
-[Vic] Wes Lee.

430
00:24:21,860 --> 00:24:25,397
[Booker] That window just opened
and hopefully he just closed it.

431
00:24:25,464 --> 00:24:27,265
-[Vic] Cover.
-[audience] One, two, three!

435
00:24:32,737 --> 00:24:38,743
and still the NXT North American Champion,

436
00:24:38,810 --> 00:24:40,946
Wes Lee.

437
00:24:41,012 --> 00:24:47,152
[Vic] How good it must feel for Wes Lee
to come to Charlotte

438
00:24:47,219 --> 00:24:50,755
and silence another doubter in Dijak?

439
00:24:50,822 --> 00:24:55,193
[Booker] Man, we said Dijak
was about mayhem, destruction and chaos.

440
00:24:55,260 --> 00:24:59,431
Vic, this is Vengeance Day. Oh, my God.

441
00:24:59,497 --> 00:25:01,633
[Vic] Again, this is how
we're kicking off the night.

442
00:25:01,700 --> 00:25:05,570
The tone has been set
and you take a look at Dijak.

443
00:25:05,637 --> 00:25:10,842
Delivered some nasty rights,
some nasty lefts, the superkick and bam.

444
00:25:10,909 --> 00:25:11,910
[Booker] Oh, my God.

445
00:25:11,977 --> 00:25:15,914
[Vic] Devastating, clothesline,
and for Dijak he was close.

446
00:25:15,981 --> 00:25:17,048
For Wes Lee, though,

447
00:25:17,115 --> 00:25:19,951
this is about as close as it got
to landing in the front row.

448
00:25:20,018 --> 00:25:23,722
[Booker] That one big shot right there,
but it was big shot after big shot,

449
00:25:23,788 --> 00:25:28,460
but none as big as this one right here,
Vic, no.

450
00:25:28,527 --> 00:25:31,429
[Vic] Tony D'Angelo, Stacks saving--

451
00:25:31,496 --> 00:25:34,132
That's what you gotta--
they saved Wes Lee.

452
00:25:34,199 --> 00:25:37,269
Opened the door for Lee
to connect with a superkick

453
00:25:37,335 --> 00:25:41,940
and then able to close the door,
as you mentioned, when the window opened.

454
00:25:42,007 --> 00:25:43,275
[Booker] When you say they saved Lee,

455
00:25:43,341 --> 00:25:49,114
I think they saved
that North American Championship. Yes.

456
00:25:49,180 --> 00:25:51,616
[Vic] Wes Lee standing tall.

457
00:25:52,484 --> 00:25:58,423

the devastation, the finger of Dijak,

in search of his brand of justice.

the challenger to the NXT Championship
later tonight.

of the champion.

Will he indeed have
his viral moment tonight,

464
00:26:18,810 --> 00:26:23,148
or will the champion be able to do
what he said he came to Charlotte to do,

465
00:26:23,214 --> 00:26:24,849
conquer and retain?

466
00:26:24,916 --> 00:26:28,687
What a way to kick off Vengeance Day
here in Charlotte, Book,

467
00:26:28,753 --> 00:26:31,656
but we wanna talk about
what's going on back in Orlando.

They're all lined up,
they got their eyes locked

to a bonafide superstar here in NXT.

00:27:02,354 --> 00:27:04,723
from you defending
your NXT Women's Tag Team titles

478
00:27:04,789 --> 00:27:08,360
against the unorthodox team
of Kiana James and Fallon Henley.

479
00:27:08,426 --> 00:27:10,829
Unorthodox teams, in-sync teams,

480
00:27:10,895 --> 00:27:14,032
best friends, bitter enemies,
we have faced them all on the road

481
00:27:14,099 --> 00:27:19,471
to becoming the longest-reigning
Women's Tag Team Champions in WWE history.

482
00:27:19,537 --> 00:27:22,941
Yeah, and whatever love triangle,
rectangle, Kiana and Fallon got going on,

483
00:27:23,008 --> 00:27:24,009
that doesn't concern us.

484
00:27:24,075 --> 00:27:26,444
What concerns us
are these titles right here.

485
00:27:26,511 --> 00:27:29,881
Look, I'm not trying to sound like
I'm cocky or I'm bragging,

486
00:27:29,948 --> 00:27:33,518
but we busted our asses to get
these titles and to be called champions.

487
00:27:33,585 --> 00:27:36,588
That's right.
It's about time we go do what we do best.

488
00:27:36,655 --> 00:27:38,823
-See you later.
-Best of luck, ladies.

489
00:27:41,893 --> 00:27:45,363
[Fallon Henley's theme song,
"Saddle Up" playing]

490
00:27:45,430 --> 00:27:51,069
[Vic] Can this duo end the record reign
of Carter and Chance here tonight?

491
00:27:54,339 --> 00:27:55,306
[bell ringing]

492
00:27:55,373 --> 00:27:57,776
[Alicia] The following contest
scheduled for one fall

493
00:27:57,842 --> 00:28:03,348
is for the NXT
Women's Tag Team Championship.

494
00:28:03,415 --> 00:28:05,316
Introducing the challengers,

495
00:28:05,383 --> 00:28:08,053
accompanied by Josh Briggs
and Brooks Jensen,

496
00:28:08,119 --> 00:28:13,591
the team of Fallon Henley and Kiana James.

497
00:28:13,658 --> 00:28:16,494
[Vic] Book, they were successful
in their first outing.

498
00:28:16,561 --> 00:28:20,131
-[Vic] Can they do it again?
-[Booker] Sometimes, Vic, you got it.

499
00:28:20,198 --> 00:28:23,234
[Booker] When you got it, you got it.
That win was big.

500
00:28:23,301 --> 00:28:26,137
And this one right here, tonight,
win or lose,

501
00:28:26,204 --> 00:28:29,374
it's going to tell me a whole lot
about this team.

502
00:28:29,441 --> 00:28:36,181
[Kiana James' theme song,
"The Highest" playing]

503
00:28:55,166 --> 00:28:59,170
[Booker] Man, I like this,
best seat in the house.

504
00:28:59,237 --> 00:29:01,539
["Party All The Time" playing]

505
00:29:09,414 --> 00:29:15,220
[Vic] A 186 days and counting,
Chance and Carter,

506
00:29:15,286 --> 00:29:20,191
the longest-reigning tag champs ever
in the women's division.

507
00:29:20,258 --> 00:29:25,497
Book, listen to this, on any brand,
RAW, SmackDown, NXT,

508
00:29:25,563 --> 00:29:28,333
they've surpassed them all.
What is the recipe? Go ahead.

509
00:29:28,399 --> 00:29:30,835
[Booker] No. Before you even get there,
before you even ask that question,

510
00:29:30,902 --> 00:29:33,872
what I think this team is,
I look back in the day,

511
00:29:33,938 --> 00:29:36,574
in the history of tag teams
and the Rock 'n' Roll Express,

512
00:29:36,641 --> 00:29:39,611
everybody always thought
they were gonna beat that team,

513
00:29:39,677 --> 00:29:42,981
but they were the best in the business.

514
00:29:43,047 --> 00:29:44,482
[Alicia] And their opponents,

515
00:29:44,549 --> 00:29:49,587
they are the NXT
Women's Tag Team Champions,

516
00:29:49,654 --> 00:29:53,591
Kayden Carter and Katana Chance.

517
00:29:53,658 --> 00:29:56,394
[Vic] I hear what you're saying, Book,
but I wanna take a step further with you.

518
00:29:56,461 --> 00:29:58,897
What's the recipe of success been
for the champions?

519
00:29:58,963 --> 00:30:02,734
How come they've been able to hold
onto those titles for over 185 days?

520
00:30:02,801 --> 00:30:05,003
[Booker] That's easy, Vic.
The champions, Vic,

521
00:30:05,069 --> 00:30:08,306
they've always been able
to find a way to win,

522
00:30:08,373 --> 00:30:12,210
always been able to work in sync,
in unison, together.

523
00:30:12,277 --> 00:30:16,748
Always, you know, that one thing,
you gotta be able to watch your six.

524
00:30:16,814 --> 00:30:19,484
That's military talk.
That's what they do best.

525
00:30:20,652 --> 00:30:23,855
[Vic] We are set now
for the second championship match tonight.

526
00:30:23,922 --> 00:30:26,157
-Aren't you on another one tonight, Book?
-[Booker] Something.

527
00:30:26,224 --> 00:30:28,593
-[Vic] You're excited and happy.
-[Booker] No. I'm just saying, man.

528
00:30:28,660 --> 00:30:32,630
-It's going to be good.
-[Jensen] New champ alert.

529
00:30:32,697 --> 00:30:35,733
[Vic] A bit of trash talk. Of course,
Briggs and Jensen on the outside,

530
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:39,637
a lotta issues between Fallon Henley
and Kiana James brings us here tonight.

531
00:30:39,704 --> 00:30:42,040
But I do wanna ask this question
about the champions

532
00:30:42,106 --> 00:30:44,542
because Chance and Carter
really have overcome a lot,

533
00:30:44,609 --> 00:30:47,946
even the perception of just being a team
that was making TikToks.

534
00:30:48,012 --> 00:30:50,748
-Do not look at that, Brooks.
-[Vic] Focus.

535
00:30:50,815 --> 00:30:54,686
[Booker] I'm not down
with the TikTok world today,

536
00:30:54,752 --> 00:30:59,324
but these young guys, these young kids,
the way they use it, if they do it well--

537
00:30:59,390 --> 00:31:02,560
-Come inside, Kayden.
-[Jensen] C'mon. Let's go. Inside, Kayden.

538
00:31:02,627 --> 00:31:05,096
-[Vic] Oh.
-[Booker] Oh, What's going on there?

539
00:31:05,163 --> 00:31:07,732
[Vic] Hey.
Let's not forget about the past.

540
00:31:07,799 --> 00:31:09,300
-What did she do to you?
-[Booker] What past?

541
00:31:09,367 --> 00:31:12,670
-What past are you talking about?
-[Vic] Brooks Jensen was friend-zoned

542
00:31:12,737 --> 00:31:14,839
by Carter a long--
It's in the past, though.

543
00:31:14,906 --> 00:31:17,909
Kiana James needs to focus on the match,
not focus about Jensen

544
00:31:17,976 --> 00:31:20,712
-and his former love life.
-[Booker] What former love life?

545
00:31:20,778 --> 00:31:22,447
-[Booker] What are you saying?
-[Vic] He got friend-zoned.

546
00:31:22,513 --> 00:31:24,182
-It's what it is.
-[Booker] So, they hooked up?

547
00:31:24,249 --> 00:31:27,151
[Vic] They didn't hook up.
Cover, count, and almost champions.

548
00:31:27,218 --> 00:31:28,920
-We need to refocus on the match.
-[Booker] Okay.

549
00:31:28,987 --> 00:31:30,188
-[Vic] 'Cause right now…
-[Booker] My bad.

550
00:31:30,255 --> 00:31:33,725
[Vic] …this Vengeance Day
NXT Women's Tag Team titles match,

551
00:31:33,791 --> 00:31:36,261
number one trend around the world.

552
00:31:36,327 --> 00:31:39,564
Us here in Charlotte, tag made,
Fallon Henley in for the first time.

553
00:31:39,631 --> 00:31:46,237
[Booker] Fallon Henley is a boss, Vic.
She's all about winning--

554
00:31:46,304 --> 00:31:48,840
-Both of these ladies.
-[Vic] Oh, well, you saw it.

555
00:31:48,907 --> 00:31:51,142
Fallon Henley didn't wanna throw
the right.

556
00:31:51,209 --> 00:31:52,443
[Booker] Miscommunication.

557
00:31:52,510 --> 00:31:54,379
[Vic] It was because James
was holding onto the hair.

558
00:31:54,445 --> 00:31:56,781
-Fallon wants to win this precisely.
-[Booker] You gotta understand

559
00:31:56,848 --> 00:31:58,917
this is a new tag team.
They'll make mistakes.

560
00:31:58,983 --> 00:32:02,387
But they're right back on track,
and they're looking good. Look at this.

561
00:32:02,453 --> 00:32:04,789
[Vic] Crucifix, cover, count,
another near-fall.

562
00:32:04,856 --> 00:32:07,091
Here's the thing about Fallon Henley,
and we've seen it often,

563
00:32:07,158 --> 00:32:09,661
she wants to do it the right way.
She doesn't wanna cut corners.

564
00:32:09,727 --> 00:32:12,797
The first time they teamed,
let's not forget Kiana James cheated.

565
00:32:12,864 --> 00:32:16,734
[Booker] Vic, let me tell you something,
the closer these two are together,

566
00:32:16,801 --> 00:32:19,437
they'll realize
they're not that far apart.

567
00:32:19,504 --> 00:32:22,540
One thing about them, they are bosses.
What's better than one boss?

568
00:32:22,607 --> 00:32:24,442
-[Vic] Oh. What?
-[Booker] Two bosses.

569
00:32:24,509 --> 00:32:27,745
[Vic] Right to the cover,
and another near-fall.

570
00:32:27,812 --> 00:32:32,216
Again, in-sync tag team tandem,
Chance and Carter,

571
00:32:32,283 --> 00:32:36,354
claim to be, Book, the realest team
in all of NXT. Another tag was made.

572
00:32:36,421 --> 00:32:38,389
-[Vic] James now legal.
-[Booker] Let me tell you something,

573
00:32:38,456 --> 00:32:40,124
when you're the Tag Team Champions,

574
00:32:40,191 --> 00:32:42,193
when you can hold
onto those Tag Team Championships,

575
00:32:42,260 --> 00:32:45,496
when you can defend them,
that makes you the team.

576
00:32:45,563 --> 00:32:47,966
That makes you the number one team
in this business.

577
00:32:48,032 --> 00:32:49,334
-[Vic] Another back suplex.
-[Booker] Here we go.

578
00:32:49,400 --> 00:32:52,804
[Vic] Cover, and another count,
and another kick out this time by Chance.

579
00:32:52,870 --> 00:32:54,939
I wanna talk about this team.
You're a tag team specialist,

580
00:32:55,006 --> 00:32:57,342
you've got the Hall of Fame hardware
to prove it, Harlem Heat.

581
00:32:57,408 --> 00:32:58,543
-[Booker] Extraordinaire.
-[Vic] I won't doubt that.

582
00:32:58,609 --> 00:33:01,846
-[Booker] Five different partners.
-[Vic] But you look at the challengers

583
00:33:01,913 --> 00:33:03,982
who have to be the underdogs,
there's no experience.

584
00:33:04,048 --> 00:33:06,417
-[Vic] They haven't teamed long enough.
-[Booker] That's true, Vic.

585
00:33:06,484 --> 00:33:09,654
[Booker] Like I said, one thing
about tag teams, either they gel quickly

586
00:33:09,721 --> 00:33:14,025
or maybe not perhaps.
This team here, they're looking great.

587
00:33:14,092 --> 00:33:16,060
-[Booker] They're looking great together.
-[Vic] It's also--

588
00:33:16,127 --> 00:33:18,730
-[Booker] Look at the movement.
-[Vic] It's also a very good pairing.

589
00:33:18,796 --> 00:33:22,200
[Vic] Nice takedown by Henley.
Henley tries for the golden opportunity,

590
00:33:22,266 --> 00:33:25,436
parents watching and almost saw
their daughter become champion.

591
00:33:25,503 --> 00:33:27,071
[Booker]
Vic, that's what I'm talking about.

592
00:33:27,138 --> 00:33:31,509
These two ladies, just not too long ago,
at each other's throats.

593
00:33:31,576 --> 00:33:34,178
-[Vic] That's true.
-[Booker] Now, they're in here as a team.

594
00:33:34,779 --> 00:33:38,015
That right there is like
peanut butter and jelly.

595
00:33:38,082 --> 00:33:41,819
-Sometimes, it could be good.
-[Vic] Look, they're a very unique team

596
00:33:41,886 --> 00:33:44,856
because typically teams come
together through a common enemy, correct?

597
00:33:44,922 --> 00:33:47,925
Opposites attract for that reason.
They have come together, though,

598
00:33:47,992 --> 00:33:51,562
because of the genuine support they have
for Brooks Jensen,

599
00:33:51,629 --> 00:33:52,930
as you see him on the outside.

600
00:33:52,997 --> 00:33:57,769
[Booker] But that tells me one thing,
he's a man about bringing togetherness.

601
00:33:57,835 --> 00:34:00,038
I like that.
I like that in this young man.

602
00:34:00,104 --> 00:34:02,940
[Vic] He's trying to bring out
the best in Kiana James.

603
00:34:03,007 --> 00:34:05,209
He's certainly along with Briggs.

604
00:34:05,276 --> 00:34:07,311
[Booker] Wouldn't you wanna
be the best ever?

605
00:34:07,378 --> 00:34:09,981
-[Vic] No, I'm married.
-[Booker] I'm not talking in that way.

606
00:34:10,047 --> 00:34:12,550
[Vic] I dunno what you're talking about,
Book. What are you talking about?

607
00:34:12,617 --> 00:34:13,918
[Booker] Keep your mind on the action.

608
00:34:13,985 --> 00:34:17,989
[Vic] Right now, we see Henley
controlling the pace of this matchup.

609
00:34:18,056 --> 00:34:20,491
But you brought up the past,
does the past still weigh on Fallon?

610
00:34:20,558 --> 00:34:22,427
Henley James did try
to buy her family bar.

611
00:34:22,493 --> 00:34:25,363
[Booker] Look, man,
one thing about something like that,

612
00:34:25,430 --> 00:34:28,399
it did bring you closer.
I mean, one in odds.

613
00:34:28,466 --> 00:34:31,335
Knowing that both of you guys
are thinking the same way.

614
00:34:31,402 --> 00:34:34,305
Like I say, being a boss means
you gotta be in charge,

615
00:34:34,372 --> 00:34:37,608
and both of these ladies
are well in charge of this matchup.

616
00:34:37,675 --> 00:34:39,076
-[Vic] Tag.
-[Booker] Not now, though.

617
00:34:39,143 --> 00:34:40,878
[Vic] Chance made a tag,
Henley doesn't realize that.

618
00:34:40,945 --> 00:34:42,447
-[Vic] Carter's legal.
-[Booker] Look at that.

619
00:34:42,513 --> 00:34:45,883
[Vic] Carter now hitting anything
that's moving, taking out both James--

620
00:34:45,950 --> 00:34:47,185
Now, going right back in on Henley.

621
00:34:47,251 --> 00:34:49,253
[Booker] That's what I'm talking about,
as far as this team,

622
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:53,091
Carter and Chance,
they're special as a tag team, Vic.

623
00:34:53,157 --> 00:34:56,294
They're always thinking about each other,
and, oh, look at that,

624
00:34:56,360 --> 00:34:58,963
that's huge
as far as tag team wrestling goes.

625
00:34:59,030 --> 00:35:03,601
[Vic] That was a two-for-one special.
And now… in her sights.

626
00:35:04,202 --> 00:35:07,338
-Carter charging in. A tag was made.
-[Booker] Wow!

627
00:35:07,405 --> 00:35:10,441
[Vic] Chance is legal.
The challengers are rocked.

628
00:35:12,009 --> 00:35:16,180
[Vic] And there comes Chance.
Another two-for-one special!

629
00:35:16,247 --> 00:35:17,682
[grunts]

630
00:35:17,748 --> 00:35:21,452
[Vic] All about having a good time
and partying, all about getting at it,

631
00:35:21,519 --> 00:35:24,188
but they're taking care of business
here tonight.

632
00:35:24,255 --> 00:35:26,924
[Booker]
I like Fallon Henley and Kiana James.

633
00:35:26,991 --> 00:35:29,594
This will be a hard night for them
to try to get a victory.

634
00:35:29,660 --> 00:35:31,896
[Vic] Proving why
they're the longest-reigning champions

635
00:35:31,963 --> 00:35:33,898
-in NXT history.
-[Booker] They're too good.

636
00:35:33,965 --> 00:35:35,733
They're just too good right now.

637
00:35:36,868 --> 00:35:42,573
[Vic] Take another look, the high-flying,
boom, Chance taking out both.

638
00:35:42,640 --> 00:35:46,277
They've been able to stay in control,
but Henley just shutting down Chance.

639
00:35:46,344 --> 00:35:51,082
If you look around, James is back
to her feet finally making a tag.

640
00:35:51,149 --> 00:35:53,317
Again this could be that moment,
maybe that turning point,

641
00:35:53,384 --> 00:35:55,686
maybe they need that nasty side
of being a team.

642
00:35:55,753 --> 00:35:59,657
-Maybe they need to cut a corner.
-[Booker] I don't think they need that.

643
00:35:59,724 --> 00:36:03,427
Right now, these two ladies
are doing something in the ring,

644
00:36:03,494 --> 00:36:06,364
and that's trying to stay a step ahead,

645
00:36:06,430 --> 00:36:09,700
but this tag team
as far as the champions go.

646
00:36:09,767 --> 00:36:11,135
Carter and Chance--

647
00:36:12,069 --> 00:36:17,275
[Vic] Carter back on her feet charging in.
Gets picked up. Dropped with spinebuster!

648
00:36:17,341 --> 00:36:19,477
Cover. Do we have new champions?

649
00:36:19,544 --> 00:36:20,945
-And a near-fall.
-[Booker] Wow!

650
00:36:21,012 --> 00:36:24,348
[Vic] Jensen almost came
outta his new suit or suit jacket,

651
00:36:24,415 --> 00:36:25,583
I should say.

652
00:36:26,217 --> 00:36:29,787
Chance almost in disbelief as we can see
on the opposite side of the ring.

653
00:36:29,854 --> 00:36:32,123
And that was a close call.

654
00:36:32,190 --> 00:36:36,227
Talk about underdogs,
we could see a huge upset here tonight.

655
00:36:36,694 --> 00:36:39,230
[Booker] Tag team championship here
is on the line here.

656
00:36:39,297 --> 00:36:41,732
The champions have been one step ahead
this whole match.

657
00:36:41,799 --> 00:36:45,436
But right now, it seems to be falling back
just a little bit.

658
00:36:45,503 --> 00:36:47,004
-[Vic] They've been.
-[Booker] Seems to be losing the pace.

659
00:36:47,071 --> 00:36:51,976
-That pace is a bit different now, Vic.
-[Vic] James able to get the knees up.

660
00:36:52,043 --> 00:36:54,412
Carter now realizing it.
She gets taken out,

661
00:36:54,478 --> 00:36:57,014
but Chance worse for wear
on the opposite side of the ring.

662
00:36:57,081 --> 00:36:59,750
And look at James. James sensing it.

663
00:36:59,817 --> 00:37:03,387
Briggs, Jensen on the outside,
they're starting to coach a bit here.

664
00:37:03,454 --> 00:37:06,023
Now, we're seeing this team
maybe gelling to your point.

665
00:37:06,090 --> 00:37:09,794
[Booker] They're more so cheerleading now.
They're doing a hell of a job because--

666
00:37:09,860 --> 00:37:12,296
-[Vic] Wow! What a neckbreaker!
-[Booker] We're now seeing

667
00:37:12,363 --> 00:37:16,133
team bosses
in total control right now, Vic.

668
00:37:16,834 --> 00:37:20,738
[Vic] How about a two-for-one special
in their own right, and it wasn't enough.

669
00:37:20,805 --> 00:37:22,340
Carter just able to break things up.

670
00:37:22,406 --> 00:37:25,743
[Booker] That's what I'm talking about
both the Tag Team Champions.

671
00:37:25,810 --> 00:37:28,045
They're always watching
each other's backs.

672
00:37:28,112 --> 00:37:29,413
[Vic] James running a bit of intrusion.

673
00:37:29,480 --> 00:37:31,215
[Booker] In the right place
at the right time.

674
00:37:31,282 --> 00:37:34,485
Here we go,
throwing caution to the wind here.

675
00:37:34,552 --> 00:37:36,554
[Vic] Also we talk about
those trust issues,

676
00:37:36,621 --> 00:37:39,390
James right now willing to-- Oh!

677
00:37:39,457 --> 00:37:43,327
Well, forget about the trust issues,
the cutter taking out James,

678
00:37:43,394 --> 00:37:45,830
-but also taking out--
-[Josh] Check on her, Brooks.

679
00:37:45,896 --> 00:37:47,832
Check on her. Check on her.

680
00:37:47,898 --> 00:37:53,504
[audience chanting] NXT!

681
00:37:53,571 --> 00:37:55,706
[Vic] Very concerned right here
in front of us.

682
00:37:55,773 --> 00:37:58,876
-[Booker] Vic, it's called competition.
-[Vic] Now, look at Briggs.

683
00:37:58,943 --> 00:38:01,078
Briggs is trying to say to Jensen,
"We need to get her back up,"

684
00:38:01,145 --> 00:38:04,482
because now it is just down
to Chance and Fallon Henley.

685
00:38:04,548 --> 00:38:06,083
[Booker] Like I said, this is competition,

686
00:38:06,150 --> 00:38:08,419
and these ladies will throw caution
to the wind.

687
00:38:08,486 --> 00:38:10,354
They'll throw everything out tonight, Vic,

688
00:38:10,421 --> 00:38:13,824
because this is about
the Tag Team Championship.

689
00:38:13,891 --> 00:38:17,395
Who wants it more?
Who wants it the most? Who wants it?

690
00:38:17,461 --> 00:38:22,033
[Vic] Henley far from her corner,
not in the right part. As now, two-on-one.

691
00:38:22,099 --> 00:38:23,901
-[Booker] Look at that big shot.
-[Vic] Carter now legal,

692
00:38:23,968 --> 00:38:26,070
showing why they've been
the longest-reigning champions

693
00:38:26,137 --> 00:38:27,405
in this brand history

694
00:38:27,471 --> 00:38:31,776
by being able to think as one,
have one mind.

695
00:38:31,842 --> 00:38:33,210
Chance and Carter now.

696
00:38:33,277 --> 00:38:38,516
Oh, Henley with a headbutt, Carter rocked,
looking around for Kiana James.

697
00:38:38,582 --> 00:38:40,284
-Henley's alone in this.
-[Booker] Like I said, Vic.

698
00:38:40,351 --> 00:38:42,720
I don't know if you've noticed
the pace has slowed down a bit.

699
00:38:42,787 --> 00:38:46,957
I think that'll be in the advantage
of the challengers, I really do.

700
00:38:47,024 --> 00:38:51,028
[Vic] Oh, wait just a minute, Book.

701
00:38:51,095 --> 00:38:53,397
[Booker] Aw…

702
00:38:53,464 --> 00:38:58,069
-[Booker] Oh, my-- Whoa! That's it.
-[Vic] And look who's legal.

703
00:38:58,135 --> 00:39:01,238
[Vic] It's Chance. Chance made a tag.

704
00:39:01,305 --> 00:39:04,442
Henley just kicked out!

705
00:39:04,508 --> 00:39:06,977
[Booker] Wow!
That's what's special about this tag team.

706
00:39:07,044 --> 00:39:11,182
Vic, always try to find a way
to pull it out by any means necessary,

707
00:39:11,248 --> 00:39:14,985
always spectacular,
like that move right there. What a move!

708
00:39:15,052 --> 00:39:19,123
[Vic] You take another look.
It was so close.

709
00:39:19,857 --> 00:39:22,560
They're seeing the next state,
another quick tag, and, Book--

710
00:39:22,626 --> 00:39:24,161
[Booker] The champions
will put it away here.

711
00:39:24,228 --> 00:39:27,565
-[Vic] This is what we've seen.
-[Booker] Gonna put it away. Oh, whoa!

712
00:39:27,631 --> 00:39:31,402
[Vic] Remember, it's Carter who's legal.
Chance just got taken out.

713
00:39:31,469 --> 00:39:35,973
Henley now turning right back around.
Shoulders are down.

714
00:39:36,040 --> 00:39:39,009
Oh, just able to kick out.
We're really seeing a battle here

715
00:39:39,076 --> 00:39:40,911
for the NXT
Women's Tag Team Championships.

716
00:39:40,978 --> 00:39:43,981
-Shoulders down one more time.
-[Booker] You gotta be kidding me.

717
00:39:44,048 --> 00:39:47,017
-[Vic] Whoa, whoa!
-[Booker] What just happened?

718
00:39:47,084 --> 00:39:50,121
[Alicia] Here are your winners and new…

719
00:39:50,187 --> 00:39:51,822
-[Booker] What just happened, Vic?
-[Alicia] …NXT

720
00:39:51,889 --> 00:39:53,758
Women's Tag Team Champions…

721
00:39:53,824 --> 00:39:56,060
-[Booker] Oh, my goodness.
-[announcer] …Fallon Henley

722
00:39:56,127 --> 00:39:59,797
and Kiana James.

723
00:39:59,864 --> 00:40:04,368
-[Vic] The reign is over.
-[Booker] That was it right there, Vic.

724
00:40:04,435 --> 00:40:09,507
I think that was it. I think that was that
Shucky Ducky quack quack moment.

725
00:40:09,573 --> 00:40:12,209
-Check this out, Vic. Beautiful.
-[Vic] We gotta go back.

726
00:40:12,276 --> 00:40:15,346
We've seen this time and time again
on their record reign.

727
00:40:15,413 --> 00:40:20,017
But Chance taken out, Carter was legal,
but this, Book, take a look.

728
00:40:20,084 --> 00:40:23,487
Fallon Henley didn't realize Kiana James

729
00:40:23,554 --> 00:40:26,323
-on the outside with the assist.
-[Booker] Vic, that was planned.

730
00:40:26,390 --> 00:40:27,892
-[Vic] Come on.
-[Booker] That was planned.

731
00:40:27,958 --> 00:40:31,796
That was set up. I'll tell you.
I could see it a mile away.

732
00:40:32,530 --> 00:40:39,537
[Vic] Let the celebrations begin
from foes to champions.

733
00:40:39,603 --> 00:40:43,541
Congratulations to Henley and James.

-Hank. Hank, get in here.
-What's up? What's up, coach?

736
00:40:54,151 --> 00:40:57,021
Did you see how Wes countered
Dijak's power with his speed?

737
00:40:57,087 --> 00:40:57,922
Yeah. Saw that.

738
00:40:57,988 --> 00:41:01,125
That'll be the game plan every time
for these high flyers.

739
00:41:01,192 --> 00:41:03,627
-You've to ground 'em.
-Ground the high flyers. Yes, sir.

740
00:41:03,694 --> 00:41:04,562
One more thing too.

741
00:41:04,628 --> 00:41:07,464
Do you see how nice all the superstars
are dressed here at Vengeance Day?

742
00:41:07,531 --> 00:41:08,532
Yeah, they look good.

743
00:41:08,599 --> 00:41:11,068
Why d'you look like
you're here to repair my sink?

744
00:41:11,135 --> 00:41:13,871
-Dude, these are just my clothes, man.
-Just my clothes, man?

745
00:41:13,938 --> 00:41:16,106
Look, we need to get you
some proper ring attire.

746
00:41:16,173 --> 00:41:19,310
-Okay. I'll get on it right away.
-Okay. Good.

-Yes, sir. [chuckling] I can do that.
-Thank you.

749
00:41:28,853 --> 00:41:32,756
My day of vengeance
was supposed to arrive last Tuesday.

750
00:41:33,491 --> 00:41:39,797
Cora Jade was going to, as she put it,
teach me my place here in NXT.

751
00:41:39,864 --> 00:41:43,267
I will very happily be the one
to teach her that valuable lesson.

752
00:41:43,334 --> 00:41:45,803
But I guess Cora changed her mind.

753
00:41:46,737 --> 00:41:51,976
I can't respect a woman who says one thing
and then does the opposite.

754
00:41:52,042 --> 00:41:56,814
Cora Jade's time will come
and she'll perish.

755
00:41:58,682 --> 00:42:03,053
This Tuesday, I'm going to be standing
in the middle of the ring.

756
00:42:04,255 --> 00:42:09,593
So, who among the women's locker room
is ready to soar?

757
00:42:12,263 --> 00:42:14,732
[Vic]
The visions are about to become clear.

758
00:42:14,798 --> 00:42:18,869
Two superstars with the same goal
to prove they're the best.

759

The stage is set, 2-out-of-3 Fall.

[Apollo] It takes guts to chase a dream.
You can fall on your face.

762
00:42:32,616 --> 00:42:35,753
Like, you can completely fail,
and then you get to that point

763
00:42:35,819 --> 00:42:37,988
of reaching your dream
and it just doesn't feel real,

764
00:42:38,055 --> 00:42:39,657
though you've dreamed about it
your whole life.

765
00:42:39,723 --> 00:42:42,493
[Apollo] Apollo!

[upbeat music playing]

767
00:42:55,272 --> 00:42:59,176
[Apollo] I've been in many title matches.
Won the United States Championship,

768
00:42:59,243 --> 00:43:02,680
walked out of WrestleMania,
the Intercontinental Champion,

00:43:02,746 --> 00:43:04,248
career-making moments.

770
00:43:04,315 --> 00:43:08,385
But every once in a while, I'd hear
those echoes deep inside my soul.

771
00:43:08,852 --> 00:43:13,724
The echoes of those three letters, NXT.

Apollo Crews is in NXT.

00:43:22,466 --> 00:43:25,869
When I left NXT for the first time,
I left way too soon

775
00:43:25,936 --> 00:43:30,207
and I left a lot of things
that I wanted to accomplish on the table.

776
00:43:30,841 --> 00:43:36,313
I came back to capture the title.
It didn't go down like that. That is okay.

785
00:44:13,183 --> 00:44:15,986
Melo looks like money,
he walks like money,

786
00:44:16,053 --> 00:44:19,990
he talks like money because Melo is money.

787
00:44:21,925 --> 00:44:24,061
No matter how good you think you are,

788
00:44:24,128 --> 00:44:28,365
there's always, always
somebody out there better than you.

789
00:44:29,433 --> 00:44:33,370
Two men, one spot. I beat you before.

790
00:44:33,437 --> 00:44:36,507
[Vic] Crews don't miss
and Crews gets one on Hayes.

791
00:44:36,573 --> 00:44:39,610
That doesn't mean anything to me, okay,
because I beat you too.

792
00:44:40,144 --> 00:44:43,580
[Vic] He shoots, he don't miss.
Nothing but net!

793
00:44:43,647 --> 00:44:45,816
-That's all it is.
-And that's all it's gonna be.

794
00:44:46,283 --> 00:44:49,420
Look, man. You beat me. I beat you.

795
00:44:49,486 --> 00:44:52,356
So, how about at Vengeance Day
we settle this once and for all?

796
00:44:52,423 --> 00:44:54,291
We go 2-out-of-3 Falls.

797
00:44:54,358 --> 00:44:55,959

798
00:44:56,026 --> 00:44:57,661
Hey. Chill.

799
00:44:58,962 --> 00:45:01,365
All right. 2-out-of-3 Falls.

800
00:45:01,999 --> 00:45:02,966
It's pretty cut and dry.

801
00:45:05,202 --> 00:45:08,539
All right. Bet.
2-out-of-3 Falls in Charlotte.

802
00:45:08,605 --> 00:45:12,409
[Vic] A lot at stake as they both claim
to be next in line

803
00:45:12,476 --> 00:45:17,881
for the NXT Championship.
Same goal from two superior athletes.

804
00:45:17,948 --> 00:45:19,950
You are going to get Money Melo.

805
00:45:20,884 --> 00:45:23,187
[Apollo] Money Melo is gonna be fast.

806
00:45:23,253 --> 00:45:28,258
He's going to be flashy,
but I am ready for Melo's game plan.

807
00:45:28,325 --> 00:45:32,996
I'll challenge that power, that intensity
and I'll definitely challenge that speed.

808
00:45:33,497 --> 00:45:38,402
If Trick Williams wants to get involved,
well, Trick's going to get handled.

809
00:45:38,469 --> 00:45:43,941
You need to be reminded is that
you are the past and I am the present.

810
00:45:44,441 --> 00:45:49,680

it can always predict the future.

you saw the banners fall,
"Will Melo Rise?"

This is the moment.
Tonight, the debate ends. Who is the best?

[Booker] That debate is going to go on
for years to come between these two.

841
00:47:51,935 --> 00:47:56,506
But tonight, Vic, this is something
I've been waiting for for a long time.

842
00:47:56,573 --> 00:48:01,445

who has quite the impressive resume
in Apollo Crews.

850
00:48:27,170 --> 00:48:28,572
[Booker] Yes, indeed.

00:48:28,639 --> 00:48:31,475

[Vic] Carmelo Hayes called Crews,
the past.

859
00:49:35,706 --> 00:49:39,943
Anointed himself the present,
Crews quick to remind Hayes, though,

860
00:49:40,010 --> 00:49:44,548
as we just heard
the past can predict the future.

861
00:49:44,614 --> 00:49:46,783
[Booker] That is true, Vic.
The past can predict the future,

862
00:49:46,850 --> 00:49:48,685
but you heard what Trick said.

863
00:49:48,752 --> 00:49:54,758
He said, "Strap up" because this guy's,
this is going to be like the Daytona 500.

864
00:49:54,825 --> 00:50:00,364
It's going to be high octane,
two fuel-injected brothers.

865
00:50:00,430 --> 00:50:04,301
-It's about to blow up!
-[Vic] We saw that highlight package,

866
00:50:04,368 --> 00:50:08,338
Crews, a former Intercontinental Champion,
a former United States Champion,

867
00:50:08,405 --> 00:50:11,575
victories on the grandest stage
of them all, WrestleMania.

868
00:50:11,641 --> 00:50:15,645
That success
that Carmelo Hayes wants one day.

869
00:50:15,712 --> 00:50:18,648
You can't deny that.
Is he jealous of the success?

870
00:50:18,715 --> 00:50:23,887
[Booker] The sky is the limit for Melo,
but I don't want him to graduate too soon.

871
00:50:23,954 --> 00:50:30,394
I want four years of knowledge, man.
And tonight, this is a final exam.

872
00:50:30,460 --> 00:50:34,898
This is the ultimate test
in Apollo Crews, dawg.

[Vic] 2-out-of-3 Falls, a staple of NXT.

874

You think of the past, Sami Zayn,
Johnny Gargano, Tyler Bate,

875
00:50:44,341 --> 00:50:46,276
and this certainly is the environment

876
00:50:46,343 --> 00:50:51,281
that'll allow you to leave your mark
like these two superstars will want to do.

877

[Vic] There you see both superstars
sizing each other up.

881
00:51:09,466 --> 00:51:11,968
Now I wanna ask you this, Book.
It's 2-out-of-3 Falls, right?

882
00:51:12,035 --> 00:51:14,204
-[Booker] Yeah.
-[Vic] How important is that first fall?

883
00:51:14,271 --> 00:51:15,772
Neither of them
wanna make a mistake early on.

884
00:51:15,839 --> 00:51:17,174
[Booker] Oh, beautiful twist there.

885
00:51:17,240 --> 00:51:19,643
That first fall is very important.

886
00:51:19,709 --> 00:51:24,414
Give you that comfortable spot to where,
if I win the next one, it's over.

887
00:51:24,481 --> 00:51:27,918
If I don't, we still got one more.
That's all. That's all it does.

888
00:51:27,984 --> 00:51:32,189
[Vic] Nice take down, right off the rip,
and again, a bit of a stalemate here.

889
00:51:32,255 --> 00:51:36,693
Of course, tonight, main event
is going to be that steel cage match.

890
00:51:36,760 --> 00:51:40,797
One reason why we're still trending
number one worldwide with Vengeance Day.

891
00:51:40,864 --> 00:51:43,567
As brutal as that main event will be,

892
00:51:43,633 --> 00:51:46,303
this really is someone of the opposite
in terms of an endurance test.

893
00:51:46,369 --> 00:51:48,605
How grueling is this sorta matchup?

894
00:51:48,672 --> 00:51:51,174
[Booker] You talk about that main event
about the steel cage match.

895
00:51:51,241 --> 00:51:56,213
This right here, Melo, Apollo,
this is the main event anywhere…

896
00:51:56,279 --> 00:51:57,948
-[Vic] Oh, yes, sir.
-[Booker] …in the world.

897
00:51:58,014 --> 00:52:00,750
As far as I'm concerned,
these two guys are really that good.

898
00:52:00,817 --> 00:52:03,019
-What was your question again? I'm sorry.
-[Vic] You answered it.

899
00:52:03,086 --> 00:52:05,922
It'll be a grueling match.
These two guys will have to put forth,

900
00:52:05,989 --> 00:52:07,691
-they'll have to pace themselves.
-[Booker] Not only that.

901
00:52:07,757 --> 00:52:11,328
I look at a young man like Carmelo Hayes
and he's still got a lot to learn.

902
00:52:11,394 --> 00:52:14,664
I look at Apollo Crews,
the guy who has been to the mountaintop,

903
00:52:14,731 --> 00:52:17,701
and has had major championships
under his belt.

904
00:52:17,767 --> 00:52:21,905
But he has a few more miles
on the odometer as well.

905
00:52:22,572 --> 00:52:23,940
[Vic] We talked about a second ago,
though,

906
00:52:24,007 --> 00:52:27,010
not wanting to make that early mistake
here in the first fall.

907
00:52:27,077 --> 00:52:29,713
Both men still get
that feeling out process here.

908
00:52:29,779 --> 00:52:32,649
Look, I wanna talk about Apollo Crews'
return to NXT last summer,

909
00:52:32,716 --> 00:52:35,952
had unfinished business on the brand.
You heard out of his mouth.

910
00:52:36,019 --> 00:52:39,656
He hears the echoes.
He wants to become the NXT Champion.

911
00:52:39,723 --> 00:52:42,893
Point blank, Book, that doesn't sit well
with Carmelo Hayes.

912
00:52:42,959 --> 00:52:46,930
[Booker] Come on,
Carmelo Hayes is, like I said, that man.

913
00:52:46,997 --> 00:52:49,199
What'd he call himself? HIM.

914
00:52:49,266 --> 00:52:54,838
When you give yourself a moniker
like that, that tells me something, man.

915
00:52:54,905 --> 00:52:59,142
That tells me we don't need
no extras running around.

916
00:52:59,209 --> 00:53:02,112
[Vic] Well, you take a look at Hayes,
he's always very confident in his ability.

917
00:53:02,178 --> 00:53:05,749
Of course, we have to mention
Trick Williams on the outside,

918
00:53:05,815 --> 00:53:09,219
but now look at Hayes
trying to stretch away here.

919
00:53:09,986 --> 00:53:12,122
Crews trying to find a submission early on

920
00:53:12,189 --> 00:53:14,925
and maybe trying to counter
some of that power of Crews.

921
00:53:14,991 --> 00:53:17,861
[Booker] I like that jacket Trick Williams
got on, but definitely--

922
00:53:17,928 --> 00:53:20,263
[Vic] Talk about the damn jacket?
We got 2-out-of-3 Falls match, Book.

923
00:53:20,330 --> 00:53:21,498
[Booker] The thing is

924
00:53:21,565 --> 00:53:24,568
Carmelo Hayes will have to look
at this thing like a marathon.

925
00:53:24,634 --> 00:53:27,304
He can't think of this as a sprint.
He'll have to push this thing

926
00:53:27,370 --> 00:53:30,240
in the late rounds as far as I'm concerned

927
00:53:30,307 --> 00:53:34,778
because this kid, Apollo Crews,
he's experienced, he's well-seasoned.

928
00:53:34,844 --> 00:53:36,479
He knows every trick in the book.

all smiles

932
00:53:43,053 --> 00:53:45,288

933
00:53:45,355 --> 00:53:47,757

he surely knows what he's doing.

[Vic] Now Crews picking up some steam.
So is Hayes, and swing and a miss.

935
00:53:51,561 --> 00:53:54,764
Hayes coming right back in, goes up,
goes over lands on his feet.

-[audience] Oh! Oh!

That's all that is, Vic.

938

"I'm one step ahead of you.
I'm one level above." That's all that is.

-[Booker] Talk about a hard shot.
-Get your ass up.

00:54:15,685 --> 00:54:18,421
[Vic] Did you hear Crews?
Crews tell him, "Get back up,"

943
00:54:18,488 --> 00:54:22,158
because Crews wants to do it tonight.
He wants to prove he is the best.

944
00:54:22,225 --> 00:54:23,627
He wants to prove while he's back.

945
00:54:23,693 --> 00:54:26,162
Look, there's a lot of similarities
between both these superstars.

946
00:54:26,229 --> 00:54:27,831
-Let's not take anything away.
-[Booker] No.

947
00:54:27,897 --> 00:54:30,267
Speed, agility, quickness, IQ.

948
00:54:30,333 --> 00:54:33,036
Both of these men knows
exactly what it takes, but like I say,

949
00:54:33,103 --> 00:54:35,605
this test right here
for Carmelo Hayes is huge.

950
00:54:35,672 --> 00:54:39,309
We're going to see exactly
what he's all about in this matchup.

951
00:54:39,376 --> 00:54:42,078
That right there,
just that little avoidance up there.

952
00:54:42,145 --> 00:54:44,981
That one shot right there
showed me something, but got caught.

953
00:54:45,048 --> 00:54:46,516
Got caught watching the paint dry.

954
00:54:46,583 --> 00:54:50,920
[Vic] Oh, he did and now Crews knows
where he wants to send Hayes.

955
00:54:50,987 --> 00:54:54,891
Hayes landing on his feet.
Coming right back in.

956
00:54:54,958 --> 00:54:56,493
[Booker] There'll be a lotta this,
it's a chess match.

957
00:54:56,559 --> 00:55:00,664
[Vic] These two-- That time,
the dropkick connects from Crews.

958
00:55:00,730 --> 00:55:05,001
[audience cheering and applauding]

959
00:55:05,068 --> 00:55:07,671
[Vic] A message being sent to Melo.

960
00:55:07,737 --> 00:55:10,607
But take a look,
a best offense sometimes, bam.

961
00:55:10,674 --> 00:55:14,210
[Booker] Yes, indeed.
Apollo just got the first pawn there.

962
00:55:14,277 --> 00:55:16,546
That wasn't a rook.
That wasn't a queen or anything like that.

963
00:55:16,613 --> 00:55:20,283
That was just the beginning of this thing.
This is a dance right here, Vic.

964
00:55:20,350 --> 00:55:25,255
[Vic] Oh, now we saw Hayes try to limit
that power of Apollo Crews,

965
00:55:25,321 --> 00:55:29,025
and I just see Crews' power
may be overtaken here in the early going.

966
00:55:29,092 --> 00:55:32,929
Again, this is 2-out-of-3 Falls,
he need to win two to win the match.

967
00:55:32,996 --> 00:55:34,864
-[Booker] We're picking it up.
-[Vic] Be it pinfall, submission,

968
00:55:34,931 --> 00:55:37,133
count out, however it happens.
You gotta win two.

969
00:55:37,200 --> 00:55:38,201
[audience gasping]

970
00:55:38,268 --> 00:55:41,037
[Booker] Apollo just picking up
the action right now.

971
00:55:42,105 --> 00:55:44,374
[Vic] Both men
with gripes against each other,

972
00:55:44,441 --> 00:55:45,875
we've heard to go back and forth.

973
00:55:45,942 --> 00:55:48,311
-Oh! In and out the diner.
-[Booker] Right there. You see that?

974
00:55:48,378 --> 00:55:49,846
[Vic] In and out of the barbershop

975
00:55:49,913 --> 00:55:52,882
and we see now
the effects of first the dropkick,

976
00:55:52,949 --> 00:55:54,617
but now what is to come following.

977
00:55:54,684 --> 00:55:59,823
[Booker] Oh, right there, Apollo,
that was a hard shot. I mean--

978
00:56:01,191 --> 00:56:03,927
[Vic] That shot was set up
by that dropkick off at the top rope.

979
00:56:03,993 --> 00:56:05,562
There's now a bullseye, Book, on Melo.

980
00:56:05,628 --> 00:56:09,299
[Booker] Vic, I dunno if you saw that,
but Carmelo Hayes' ribs,

981
00:56:09,366 --> 00:56:13,002
I mean,
he took a hard shot into that turnbuckle.

982
00:56:13,069 --> 00:56:15,438
Right now,
he could've dislocated something,

983
00:56:15,505 --> 00:56:19,242
and trust me, that the rib area
is tough because of cartilage.

984
00:56:19,309 --> 00:56:22,011
[Vic] Yeah. Now, you don't really hear
Hayes talking that much

985
00:56:22,078 --> 00:56:24,581
as now Hayes trying to hold on.
He can sense it now.

986
00:56:24,647 --> 00:56:27,317
Maybe a bit of desperation
early on in this matchup.

987
00:56:27,384 --> 00:56:30,887
But if the ribs
are as injured as you think they are,

988
00:56:30,954 --> 00:56:34,791
how does that play into looking forward
to the second fall, the third fall?

989
00:56:34,858 --> 00:56:37,026
Oh, we might see the first fall here
in a moment.

990
00:56:37,093 --> 00:56:40,130
[Booker] Vic, I'm talking about
not being able to breathe properly.

991
00:56:40,196 --> 00:56:41,164
I mean, right now--

992
00:56:41,231 --> 00:56:44,567
[Vic] That German suplex just put
Hayes' eyes in the back of his head.

993
00:56:44,634 --> 00:56:46,002
Oh, hey.

994
00:56:46,469 --> 00:56:49,139
[Vic] Trying to desperately get out,
trying to desperately get away.

995
00:56:49,205 --> 00:56:51,808
-Well, there's a bit of separation.
-[Booker] About to make some space there.

996
00:56:51,875 --> 00:56:52,776
[Vic] Look at Crews.

997
00:56:52,842 --> 00:56:55,278
[Booker] Right now,
Carmelo Hayes is in a lotta pain.

998
00:56:55,345 --> 00:56:57,547
He's trying not to show it,
he's trying to suck it up.

999
00:56:57,614 --> 00:57:00,750
Right now, he definitely need
to pull off something big

1000
00:57:00,817 --> 00:57:02,719
to try to get some momentum.

1001
00:57:02,786 --> 00:57:05,622
-Hey, don't touch him.
-What did he say?

1002
00:57:05,688 --> 00:57:10,593
[indistinct chattering]

1003
00:57:10,660 --> 00:57:14,297
[Vic] Crews is distracted by Williams.

1004
00:57:16,032 --> 00:57:17,300
-[grunting]
-[Vic] Oh!

1005
00:57:17,367 --> 00:57:22,238
And that's that veteran of Apollo
who's been around the block a time or two.

1006
00:57:22,305 --> 00:57:25,108
We talk about the championship,
we talk about the accolades.

1007
00:57:25,175 --> 00:57:29,646
He knew exactly what was coming.
That vision on display of Crews tonight.

1008
00:57:29,712 --> 00:57:32,449
[Booker] Apollo's got it down right there.
That one, right? You saw it?

1009
00:57:32,515 --> 00:57:36,886
[Vic] You talking about sticking a landing
and right back to the injured ribs,

1010
00:57:36,953 --> 00:57:39,022
but at the same time,
how much damage done to Crews?

1011
00:57:39,088 --> 00:57:42,158
[Booker] Perfect 10.
Sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.

1012
00:57:42,225 --> 00:57:44,894
Right now Apollo's here
to win this championship.

1013
00:57:44,961 --> 00:57:46,830
-[Vic] Take another look.
-[Booker] Oh, beautiful.

1014
00:57:46,896 --> 00:57:48,898
-[Vic] Oh, my.
-[audience chattering]

1015
00:57:48,965 --> 00:57:52,535
[audience chanting] NXT!

1016
00:57:52,602 --> 00:57:56,539
[Vic] The NXT Universe here in Charlotte
as Crews now getting Hayes

1017
00:57:56,606 --> 00:57:57,974
back into the ring with Crews

1018
00:57:58,041 --> 00:58:01,211
feeling the effects in his own right
after that last moonsault,

1019
00:58:01,277 --> 00:58:03,546
and now goes up,
goes over and goes into the cover.

1020
00:58:03,613 --> 00:58:05,982
Are we about to see
the first fall of the match?

1021
00:58:06,049 --> 00:58:09,452
-Shin, knees! Able to… what?
-[Trick] Yes!

1022
00:58:10,253 --> 00:58:13,289
[Booker] Let me tell you something, Vic.
I had a real injury--

1023
00:58:13,356 --> 00:58:16,292
[Vic] Oh, that's what Trick was doing.
Go ahead.

1024
00:58:16,359 --> 00:58:18,394
[Booker] Oh, no.
Like I said, dealing with a rib injury

1025
00:58:18,461 --> 00:58:20,497
isn't something
you wanna play around with.

1026
00:58:20,563 --> 00:58:21,865
I had one for about a year.

1027
00:58:21,931 --> 00:58:26,669
It definitely kept me in a position
of where I couldn't shake it. Right now.

1028
00:58:27,136 --> 00:58:28,004
[grunting]

1029
00:58:28,071 --> 00:58:30,106
[Vic] Well, right now,
Hayes will have to shake something off

1030
00:58:30,173 --> 00:58:35,845
because Apollo Crews is making him think,
making him wait.

1031
00:58:35,912 --> 00:58:37,080
[audience cheering]

1032
00:58:37,146 --> 00:58:39,983
-[Vic] And Apollo is a patient man.
-[Booker] Wow.

1033
00:58:40,049 --> 00:58:42,919
[Vic] Off that delayed
standing vertical suplex,

1034
00:58:42,986 --> 00:58:45,889
still couldn't get the three,
but he's closing in.

1035
00:58:45,955 --> 00:58:48,324
The one thing we haven't talked about,

1036
00:58:48,391 --> 00:58:50,627
-both these guys want gold, right?
-[Booker] Yes.

1037
00:58:50,693 --> 00:58:54,163
[Vic] Does this match to you have future
NXT Championship ramifications?

1038
00:58:54,230 --> 00:58:57,934
[Booker] Whoever win this championship
definitely put themselves in line

1039
00:58:58,001 --> 00:59:00,136
for the big one,
and that's what it's all about.

1040
00:59:00,203 --> 00:59:02,305
You know the North American Championship,

1041
00:59:02,372 --> 00:59:06,009
you know this title
will put you right in line to--

1042
00:59:06,075 --> 00:59:07,877
-[Vic] Oh.
-[Booker] Oh, wow.

1043
00:59:07,944 --> 00:59:10,079
[Vic] Oh, the game just got changed…

1044
00:59:10,947 --> 00:59:13,316
on Carmelo Hayes,
and maybe more importantly for Hayes.

1045
00:59:13,383 --> 00:59:17,320
He's able to get-- what the--
Williams has to be careful right now,

1046
00:59:17,387 --> 00:59:22,258
because if he gets himself disqualified,
that'll be a fall for Apollo Crews. Bam.

1047
00:59:22,325 --> 00:59:25,395
[Booker] If Trick don't be careful,
he's gonna get booted

1048
00:59:25,461 --> 00:59:29,766
and that's not going to be good
for Carmelo Hayes. Trust me.

1049
00:59:31,167 --> 00:59:35,138
[Vic] Yeah, well, there's the shot.
Calls his shot he don't miss.

1050
00:59:35,204 --> 00:59:39,609
That's the moniker of Hayes,
but Hayes right now feeling the effects.

1051
00:59:39,676 --> 00:59:42,078
It's not the same Carmelo Hayes
we've seen in the past.

1052
00:59:42,145 --> 00:59:45,682
-There's not that pep in his step.
-[Booker] Like I say, Carmelo is feeling--

1053
00:59:45,748 --> 00:59:49,285
He's a little worse for wear, like I say,
he's trying not to show it,

1054
00:59:49,352 --> 00:59:52,455
-and that's what champions do.
-[Vic] Now right in and here we go.

1055
00:59:52,522 --> 00:59:55,558
Look at Hayes and now it seems
that Hayes taking a deep breath,

1056
00:59:55,625 --> 00:59:58,528
-trying to time block out the pain.
-[Booker] He need to take his time here.

1057
00:59:58,595 --> 01:00:01,764
Getting a little too overzealous
in my book.

1058
01:00:01,831 --> 01:00:04,500
[Vic] Cover, and a kick out.
But here's the thing though, Book.

1059
01:00:04,567 --> 01:00:07,303
Now, maybe that's what he needs to do
to block out that pain,

1060
01:00:07,370 --> 01:00:09,172
to let that adrenaline course
though his veins.

1061
01:00:09,238 --> 01:00:15,078
[Booker] Vic, you gotta pick your shots.
Right there, that's going to wear on you.

1062
01:00:15,144 --> 01:00:16,980
It'll make you breathe a bit harder,

1063
01:00:17,046 --> 01:00:21,684
and that's the last thing
that Carmelo needs at this point.

1064
01:00:21,751 --> 01:00:24,120
[Vic] But as much as Hayes
has that bullseye on his rib cage,

1065
01:00:24,187 --> 01:00:27,290
it looks like Hayes even earlier
in the matchup has put a bullseye

1066
01:00:27,357 --> 01:00:29,993
on the neck of Apollo Crews.

1067
01:00:30,693 --> 01:00:33,029
-Get him.
-[Vic] Trying to wear down Crews,

1068
01:00:33,096 --> 01:00:36,532
and this is a great strategy by Hayes
to keep Crews grounded.

1069
01:00:36,599 --> 01:00:39,569
-I mean, that's easy money, right?
-[Booker] Trying to slow this thing down.

1070
01:00:39,636 --> 01:00:43,139
Trying to even the odds just a little bit,
to ensure those ribs,

1071
01:00:43,206 --> 01:00:46,242
that one little area is still burning.

1072
01:00:46,309 --> 01:00:47,310
[grunting]

1073
01:00:47,377 --> 01:00:50,046
[Booker] Might try to just slow it down
just for a minute.

1074
01:00:50,113 --> 01:00:53,249
Let me get my wind,
let me get my feet under me.

1075
01:00:53,316 --> 01:00:55,118
Try to push this thing
in the later rounds,

1076
01:00:55,184 --> 01:00:59,622
and I think that's where Carmelo Hayes
is going to be a bit more successful

1077
01:00:59,689 --> 01:01:02,358
in the later rounds
with someone like Apollo Crews.

1078
01:01:02,425 --> 01:01:05,094
[Vic] Hayes has said he has put
more preparation into this match

1079
01:01:05,161 --> 01:01:06,996
than any other in his career.

1080
01:01:07,063 --> 01:01:10,400
You look at the track record of wins.
He's defeated the likes of Ricochet,

1081
01:01:10,466 --> 01:01:12,969
he was the Breakout winner
as we saw by the banner,

1082
01:01:13,036 --> 01:01:15,905
the North American Champion,
has unified championships,

1083
01:01:15,972 --> 01:01:18,474
but this is a different test tonight
for Hayes.

1084
01:01:18,541 --> 01:01:24,313
Oh, just dropped Apollo Crews again.
Throat, neck, and quickly cover.

1085
01:01:24,380 --> 01:01:28,284
Count for the first fall,
and Crews powering out.

1086
01:01:28,351 --> 01:01:29,619
It goes back to what you said, Book.

1087
01:01:29,685 --> 01:01:33,923
Both these guys know how important
this first fall is here at Vengeance Day.

1088
01:01:33,990 --> 01:01:36,092
[Booker] These are these moments,
Vic, where you're…

1089
01:01:36,159 --> 01:01:38,361
-[Vic] Another cover and kick out.
-[Booker] …tired, bruised,

1090
01:01:38,428 --> 01:01:39,529
battered, torn.

1091
01:01:39,595 --> 01:01:44,600
These are the moments that make you great.
These are those Hall of Fame moments here,

1092
01:01:44,667 --> 01:01:47,703
and both of these men
are willing to put themselves through it.

1093
01:01:47,770 --> 01:01:51,841
I respect that, Vic.
I respect it to the utmost.

1094
01:01:51,908 --> 01:01:53,009
[Vic] Take a look at Hayes.

1095
01:01:53,076 --> 01:01:56,212
With every breathe he's taking,
it's tough for him to move.

1096
01:01:56,279 --> 01:01:59,716
[Booker] Vic, we don't know
if Carmelo got internal bleeding.

1097
01:01:59,782 --> 01:02:03,352
We just don't know, but right now
he's fighting through the pain

1098
01:02:03,419 --> 01:02:06,889
and that tells me a whole lot
about this young man,

1099
01:02:06,956 --> 01:02:11,327
who wants to look down upon everyone.
I'm on top of the world, Ma.

1100
01:02:11,394 --> 01:02:15,398
-That's this kid right here, Carmelo.
-[Vic] What a short arm clothesline,

1101
01:02:15,465 --> 01:02:18,801
and you don't see
Crews get rocked like that often,

1102
01:02:18,868 --> 01:02:20,470
and he just got dropped.

1103
01:02:20,536 --> 01:02:24,240
Now, the look in the eyes
of Carmelo Hayes is telling the story.

1104
01:02:24,307 --> 01:02:25,875
Take another look. Feel the impact.

1105
01:02:25,942 --> 01:02:27,076
[grunting]

1106
01:02:27,143 --> 01:02:29,378
[Booker] Sometimes,
you just gotta grit your teeth, Vic.

1107
01:02:29,445 --> 01:02:32,248
You just got to bite down
on your mouth piece.

1108
01:02:34,750 --> 01:02:38,121
-Get your ass up. You ain't HIM.
-[Trick] That's right.

1109
01:02:38,187 --> 01:02:39,589
[indistinct chatter]

1110
01:02:39,655 --> 01:02:44,260
[Booker chuckling]
That's digging deep down in that well.

1111
01:02:44,327 --> 01:02:47,763
Just tell me, who's that man? Oh!

1112
01:02:47,830 --> 01:02:51,033
[Vic] Don't forget about who's that man,
who's the man in control right now.

1113
01:02:51,100 --> 01:02:56,606
German suplex after German suplex.
Looking for the trifecta is Apollo Crews.

1114
01:02:56,672 --> 01:02:58,608
Hayes putting on the brakes. Uh-huh.

1115
01:02:58,674 --> 01:03:00,009
[grunting]

1116
01:03:00,076 --> 01:03:02,779
[Vic] Up and over on his feet.
Charging right back in.

1117
01:03:03,379 --> 01:03:04,480
[grunting]

1118
01:03:04,547 --> 01:03:07,884
[Vic] Another counter,
and a big back drop!

1119
01:03:07,950 --> 01:03:09,185
[Booker] Wow!

1120
01:03:09,252 --> 01:03:12,688
[Vic] The thing is, Book,
there hasn't been a fall yet.

1121
01:03:12,755 --> 01:03:14,190
-[Booker] You see that?
-[Vic] There hasn't been a fall.

1122
01:03:14,257 --> 01:03:16,592
There hasn't been a decision yet
in this match.

1123
01:03:16,659 --> 01:03:21,364
[Booker] Did you see the extra oomph
on that back drop that Apollo--

1124
01:03:21,430 --> 01:03:25,234
This guy still got a lotta strength
at this stage of this first round.

1125
01:03:25,301 --> 01:03:28,004
[Vic] You brought up a good point.
Talking about that extra oomph and impact.

1126
01:03:28,070 --> 01:03:32,642
Where was the impact on Hayes
to his ribs, to his lower back?

1127
01:03:32,708 --> 01:03:37,146
[Booker] That's what I'm talking about.
Both men are fighting for a shot, Vic.

1128
01:03:37,213 --> 01:03:40,983
They're fighting for being
in that Major League spot,

1129
01:03:41,050 --> 01:03:43,719
-championships titles.
-[Vic] You saw the NXT Universe.

1130
01:03:43,786 --> 01:03:46,055
You feel the tension rising
here in the Spectrum Center.

1131
01:03:46,122 --> 01:03:49,659
And now, you see
Apollo Crews starting to roll.

1132
01:03:51,627 --> 01:03:56,532
[Vic] Could be closing on that first fall
here in this matchup. Oh, got caught.

1133
01:03:56,599 --> 01:03:59,669
Swing and a miss.
Hayes now trying to turn it around.

1134
01:03:59,735 --> 01:04:01,737
Could've been looking for a Gore Buster.
It was countered.

1135
01:04:01,804 --> 01:04:05,408
Landing on his feet, coming right back,
and this time Crews successful.

1136
01:04:05,474 --> 01:04:07,877
[Booker] Yeah. Carmelo went to that spot,
but I'll tell you,

1137
01:04:07,944 --> 01:04:12,248
those ribs played a big, big, big part
of what just happened right there, Vic.

1138
01:04:12,315 --> 01:04:14,116
-[Vic] Oh.
-[Booker] Whoa.

1139
01:04:14,183 --> 01:04:16,385
-[grunting]
-[groaning]

1140
01:04:16,452 --> 01:04:18,654
[Vic] Charging right--
Oh, nobody home this time.

1141
01:04:19,622 --> 01:04:23,859
These two trading blow for blow.
Hayes said it would be tat-for-tat.

1142
01:04:23,926 --> 01:04:25,228
Oh, what a kick!

1143
01:04:26,028 --> 01:04:30,233
Modified enzuigiri,
and you can see the eyes of Hayes.

1144
01:04:30,299 --> 01:04:35,037
[Booker] Carmelo is dazed right now,
and right now would be the perfect time

1145
01:04:35,104 --> 01:04:39,075
for Apollo to cash in
and he needs to do it quick.

1146
01:04:40,343 --> 01:04:42,111
[Vic] Trick right now beside himself.

1147
01:04:42,178 --> 01:04:44,680
Hayes out of desperation
just trying to hold on.

1148
01:04:45,281 --> 01:04:47,350
-Oh, oh, oh, oh!
-[Booker] We've seen this.

1149
01:04:47,416 --> 01:04:49,218
-[Vic] Holy cow!
-[Booker] Wow!

1150
01:04:49,285 --> 01:04:51,821
[Vic] Did you see that strength?
That's gotta be it.

1151
01:04:51,888 --> 01:04:55,024
-First fall in the books for Apollo Crews.
-[groaning]

1152
01:04:55,091 --> 01:04:56,792
[Vic] Hayes kicked out.

1153
01:04:56,859 --> 01:04:59,028
[Booker]
That was all instinct right there, Vic.

1154
01:05:00,429 --> 01:05:06,669
[Vic] The unbridled strength
on display of Apollo Crews.

1155
01:05:06,736 --> 01:05:08,371
And I know the kick out.

1156
01:05:08,437 --> 01:05:13,409
You see Trick now talking to whomever,
but now what's going through the mind.

1157
01:05:13,476 --> 01:05:16,112
Crews knows he might have to go
to a different place.

1158
01:05:16,178 --> 01:05:21,284
[Booker] Let me tell you something. Apollo
is looking to land that one killer blow,

1159
01:05:21,350 --> 01:05:23,552
and he's getting the people ready.

1160
01:05:23,619 --> 01:05:26,822
He's getting the people ready for it
here at Vengeance Day.

1161
01:05:26,889 --> 01:05:29,058
[Vic] Crews had heard all the talking.
He heard Hayes say,

1162
01:05:29,125 --> 01:05:33,329
he was a younger, better,
more athletic version of Apollo Crews.

1163
01:05:33,396 --> 01:05:38,834
That didn't sit well with Crews
who right now is going into that zone

1164
01:05:38,901 --> 01:05:40,736
we've seen him in the past enter.

1165
01:05:40,803 --> 01:05:45,808
[Booker] Vic, that's what fighters do.
You're not going to say you're not better.

1166
01:05:45,875 --> 01:05:48,678
You'll go out there and say,
"I'll put this man to sleep.

1167
01:05:48,744 --> 01:05:52,214
I'll put him down tonight."
That's what this man-- That's what--

1168
01:05:52,281 --> 01:05:54,383
[Vic] Counter by Hayes.
Hayes was looking for the crossface.

1169
01:05:54,450 --> 01:05:56,419
-Gets countered. Counter for counter.
-[Booker] Beautiful.

1170
01:05:56,485 --> 01:05:58,921
[Vic] Rolling through is Hayes.
Hayes trying to lock in.

1171
01:05:58,988 --> 01:06:01,757
Roll through, shoulders down.
Is it enough? Just able to kick out,

1172
01:06:01,824 --> 01:06:04,460
but also having to let go
of that crossface was Hayes,

1173
01:06:04,527 --> 01:06:05,761
who gets caught with a pump kick.

1174
01:06:05,828 --> 01:06:10,132
Goes up, goes down, goes around,
and this time could be the moment.

1175
01:06:10,199 --> 01:06:13,936
Shoots the half. Hooks the leg.

1176
01:06:14,003 --> 01:06:17,073
Oh, no. And now, Hayes beside himself.

1177
01:06:18,140 --> 01:06:20,810
[Booker] Wrestling IQ right now.
That's what this is, Vic.

1178
01:06:20,876 --> 01:06:23,279
-Right now Carmelo Hayes…
-[Vic] Nice cutter.

1179
01:06:23,346 --> 01:06:27,216
[Booker] …he's going into his trick bag
and going into his playbook.

1180
01:06:27,283 --> 01:06:28,851
-What's gonna work?
-[Vic] Another kick out.

1181
01:06:28,918 --> 01:06:30,986
-[Booker] Beautiful transition.
-[Vic] Now into the crossface.

1182
01:06:31,053 --> 01:06:33,222
-[Booker] Beautiful transition.
-[Vic] Into that crossface.

1183
01:06:33,289 --> 01:06:34,790
It also opened the mouth of Crews.

1184
01:06:34,857 --> 01:06:38,260
Crews can't get any breathe in,
he can't get any air to his lungs.

1185
01:06:38,327 --> 01:06:41,630
And you gotta wonder right now for Crews,
how much can he take?

1186
01:06:41,697 --> 01:06:43,032
-Crews taps.
-[Booker] Wow.

1187
01:06:43,099 --> 01:06:44,834
-[Vic] Crews taps.
-[Booker] Wow.

1188
01:06:44,900 --> 01:06:46,469
[audience chattering]

1189
01:06:46,936 --> 01:06:51,774
[Alicia] Carmelo Hayes has scored a fall.

1190
01:06:51,841 --> 01:06:55,378
[Vic] So Hayes now is up one fall to none.

1191
01:06:55,444 --> 01:06:58,647
[audience booing]

1192
01:06:58,714 --> 01:07:00,149
-[Booker] Wow.
-[Vic] The NXT Universe

1193
01:07:00,216 --> 01:07:03,285
-not liking that decision.
-[Booker] Let me tell you something, Vic.

1194
01:07:03,352 --> 01:07:06,088
[Vic] Not liking that Hayes is up one-nil.

1195
01:07:06,155 --> 01:07:09,725
[Booker] That combination right there,
again by Carmelo Hayes

1196
01:07:09,792 --> 01:07:13,362
as well as that burst of energy
through transition

1197
01:07:13,429 --> 01:07:19,235
was unbelievable to capture
that first victory. Unbelievable.

1198
01:07:19,301 --> 01:07:21,804
Passed the test, passed the first exam.

1199
01:07:21,871 --> 01:07:24,173
[audience chants indistinctly]

1200
01:07:24,974 --> 01:07:28,077
[Vic] I do wonder, though. For Crews,
he's been in this position before.

1201
01:07:28,144 --> 01:07:30,479
We talked about how long
he's been in the game.

1202
01:07:30,546 --> 01:07:33,082
Did he tap quickly
to preserve some energy?

1203
01:07:33,149 --> 01:07:36,152
[Booker] Let me tell you something.
Apollo Crews right now, he's wondering,

1204
01:07:36,218 --> 01:07:38,387
how did I find myself in that position?

1205
01:07:38,454 --> 01:07:41,891
I had this thing going my way.
That's what he's thinking right now.

1206
01:07:41,957 --> 01:07:44,226
[Vic] There's no rest.
Hayes right back up,

1207
01:07:44,293 --> 01:07:45,661
but now look at Crews.

1208
01:07:45,728 --> 01:07:47,763
There's not much
on those rights and lefts.

1209
01:07:47,830 --> 01:07:49,665
And you gotta wonder,
how much damage has been done

1210
01:07:49,732 --> 01:07:51,200
to the left shoulder of Crews.

1211
01:07:51,267 --> 01:07:55,004
You also have to remember,
Hayes was working the neck of Apollo Crews

1212
01:07:55,071 --> 01:07:57,440
early on in that first fall.

1213
01:07:57,506 --> 01:07:59,108
[grunting]

1214
01:07:59,175 --> 01:08:02,411
[Booker] Love this action right here.
Like I say, this is gonna be high-octane

1215
01:08:02,478 --> 01:08:03,979
between these two young men here.

1216
01:08:04,046 --> 01:08:07,883
Right now, it seems like who's the guy
that's got more left in the tank.

1217
01:08:07,950 --> 01:08:10,286
Who's the guy
that's willing to go the long haul?

1218
01:08:10,352 --> 01:08:13,355
-[Vic] And is it Hayes?
-[Booker] That's Carmelo. That's that man.

1219
01:08:13,422 --> 01:08:17,660
[Vic] Hayes woke up earlier today,
sent out the tweet. He woke up undeniable.

1220
01:08:17,726 --> 01:08:21,697
He knows there's two men
that want one spot. Wow.

1221
01:08:22,231 --> 01:08:26,368
Did you see that nasty landing, Book?
Hayes right now realizes, this is it.

1222
01:08:26,435 --> 01:08:30,473
[Booker] Right now, Carmelo feel like
he's still the uncrowned champion now.

1223
01:08:30,940 --> 01:08:35,277
The only way to get back
to the mountain top is through Crews.

1224
01:08:35,344 --> 01:08:39,115
Yes, that's the only way, and tonight,
he's doing a hell of a job, Vic.

1225
01:08:39,181 --> 01:08:40,716
[Vic]
Hayes doesn't need the universe's love.

1226
01:08:40,783 --> 01:08:43,419
He doesn't wanna be a Casanova.
He wants to be a champion,

1227
01:08:43,486 --> 01:08:45,788
but right now
Crews showing the heart of champion.

1228
01:08:45,855 --> 01:08:49,792
Again, going right back
to a series of German suplexes.

1229
01:08:49,859 --> 01:08:53,529
[Booker] Apollo Crews right now
trying to let it all hang out right here.

1230
01:08:53,596 --> 01:08:55,331
-This might be--
-[Vic] Standing shooting star.

1231
01:08:55,397 --> 01:08:57,066
Didn't get it all, but did he get enough

1232
01:08:57,133 --> 01:08:59,969
-in Hayes.
-[Booker] Might be that last gas to try--

1233
01:09:00,035 --> 01:09:02,705
-[Vic] He's gotta tie it up, Book.
-[Booker] He gotta try to get a win.

1234
01:09:02,771 --> 01:09:05,140
Right now, just look at his body language.

1235
01:09:05,207 --> 01:09:09,612
He's still laboring perhaps
from being caught in that crossface.

1236
01:09:09,678 --> 01:09:11,480
-That's what I'm thinking.
-[Vic] He's gotta tie it up.

1237
01:09:11,547 --> 01:09:15,117
Again, Hayes quickly stopping
any sort of momentum,

1238
01:09:15,184 --> 01:09:18,320
and back to the lower back--
Oh, nice counter by Hayes.

1239
01:09:18,387 --> 01:09:22,324
-Rocking Crews. And, oh, Crews--
-[Booker] Right now, Vic--

1240
01:09:22,391 --> 01:09:26,395
[Vic] Back to the neck,
and now he's looking for that fade away.

1241
01:09:26,462 --> 01:09:30,633
[Booker] Carmelo Hayes is one, two,
perhaps even three steps ahead

1242
01:09:30,699 --> 01:09:31,867
-of Apollo Crews.
-[Vic] Who cares about the steps?

1243
01:09:31,934 --> 01:09:34,703
If he wins it here,
the match is over. Cover.

1244
01:09:34,770 --> 01:09:37,473
Crews just able to get
that right shoulder up.

1245
01:09:37,540 --> 01:09:40,509
Book, you said it a second ago,
"There's not much left in Crews."

1246
01:09:40,576 --> 01:09:43,746
He's really got to find
a new zone to go into,

1247
01:09:43,812 --> 01:09:47,249
-because he right now is on the back-foot.
-[Booker] He gotta find another gear.

1248
01:09:47,316 --> 01:09:51,086
I talked about those gears.
Carmelo Hayes seem to found that first--

1249
01:09:51,153 --> 01:09:52,655
-[Vic] Oh!
-[Booker] Oh, my God.

1250
01:09:52,721 --> 01:09:54,690
[Vic] Try a blockbuster DDT.
I don't know what it was.

1251
01:09:54,757 --> 01:09:58,193
It was effective,
but it didn't keep Hayes down.

1252
01:09:58,260 --> 01:10:01,630
[Booker] I'm gonna tell you right now,
that kick out right there

1253
01:10:02,298 --> 01:10:06,869
gotta make Apollo Crews feel,
"What the hell do I gotta do here?"

1254
01:10:06,936 --> 01:10:08,470
[Vic] Have you ever seen
anything like that?

1255
01:10:08,537 --> 01:10:09,838
[Booker] Goodnight.

1256
01:10:10,773 --> 01:10:14,510
-[Vic] Crews has to-- That was close.
-[Booker] Let me tell you something.

1257
01:10:14,577 --> 01:10:18,614
Right now,
Apollo Crews is in Alice in Wonderland,

1258
01:10:18,681 --> 01:10:20,950
wondering "What the hell do I have to do?"

1259
01:10:21,016 --> 01:10:23,319
I mean, "What do I gotta do
to finish this guy?"

1260
01:10:23,385 --> 01:10:24,520
[Vic] He's pulling out all the tricks.

1261
01:10:24,587 --> 01:10:26,989
You talked about
going into the bag earlier for Crews.

1262
01:10:27,056 --> 01:10:30,993
Right now, he is down a fall.
There is no tomorrow for Apollo Crews.

1263
01:10:31,060 --> 01:10:33,829
Now, you're won, you're done,
you're eliminated, you're going home.

1264
01:10:33,896 --> 01:10:36,432
There's another nasty landing for Crews

1265
01:10:36,498 --> 01:10:39,735
who somehow trying
to pull himself back up.

1266
01:10:39,802 --> 01:10:42,538
[Booker] You could make a huge mistake
knowing you're down,

1267
01:10:42,605 --> 01:10:43,739
and you'll try something.

1268
01:10:43,806 --> 01:10:48,310
You'll do something and make a mistake,
normally, that's when that happens.

1269
01:10:48,377 --> 01:10:53,616
And Apollo Crews,
he's in that danger zone right now.

1270
01:10:53,682 --> 01:10:56,752
[Vic] Well, there's only one spot.
Look at Trick Williams.

1271
01:10:56,819 --> 01:10:59,622
He's a little worried
about what could happen.

1272
01:10:59,688 --> 01:11:05,394
Both, oh, had the same thought in mind,
crash and burn.

1273
01:11:06,095 --> 01:11:08,797
-[Trick] You stay down, you're all right.
-[Booker] Wow.

1274
01:11:08,864 --> 01:11:12,968
[Vic] So much has been taken out
of both these superstars in this moment.

1275
01:11:13,602 --> 01:11:15,104
Crews, Hayes.

1276
01:11:15,170 --> 01:11:20,909
Hayes is up one fall to none
in this best 2-out-of-3 Falls matchup.

1277
01:11:22,278 --> 01:11:23,912
Two.

1278
01:11:23,979 --> 01:11:29,318
[Vic] Take one more look, one more time.
Oh, same thought process.

1279
01:11:29,385 --> 01:11:31,654
-[Booker] I thought--
-[Vic] The ref's starting his count here.

1280
01:11:31,720 --> 01:11:33,355
[Booker] I thought Carmelo
took the worst of that,

1281
01:11:33,422 --> 01:11:36,358
but both of those guys,
it was pretty much even odds.

1282
01:11:36,425 --> 01:11:39,395
[Vic] Referee's at seven.
Hayes trying to get that count-out win.

1283
01:11:39,461 --> 01:11:41,330
He would win it. He would sweep,

1284
01:11:41,397 --> 01:11:45,601
-and Crews just breaking the count.
-[Booker] Whoa!

1285
01:11:45,668 --> 01:11:47,636
[Vic] I mean, just broke the count.

1286
01:11:47,703 --> 01:11:51,840

That's what a dad does?

Where are you going?

[Vic] Crews saying,
"Don't take the easy street."

1290
01:11:57,813 --> 01:12:00,382
He wants to earn this victory.
He wants to fight for it.

1291
01:12:00,449 --> 01:12:03,152
-[Booker] Oh!
-[Vic] Knee under the jaw. Hayes rocked.

1292
01:12:03,218 --> 01:12:06,188
Hayes coming back in,
able to roll through,

1293
01:12:06,255 --> 01:12:08,991
another counter by Hayes.
Looking for that crossface one more time.

1294
01:12:09,058 --> 01:12:11,960
That's how he won the first fall,
not this time.

[audience cheering]

1296
01:12:13,228 --> 01:12:14,963
[Booker] Apollo needs
to stay composed right now,

1297
01:12:15,030 --> 01:12:18,867
don't let his anger get to him
like some of these football players

1298
01:12:18,934 --> 01:12:22,905

late in the game. You don't want that.

That's what Crews wanted,

1301
01:12:28,344 --> 01:12:33,215
but so much has been taken out of Crews
and couldn't capitalize, Book.

[Tom] Kofi did it. Kofi is champion.

1407
01:18:36,845 --> 01:18:40,749
This meant a lot
to be able to represent Black kids,

1408
01:18:40,816 --> 01:18:43,218
let them know
that it's not impossible to break through.

1409
01:18:43,285 --> 01:18:46,488
[Kofi] The impossible is possible.

1410
01:18:46,555 --> 01:18:49,891
[audience chanting] Kofi!

1411
01:18:51,259 --> 01:18:52,360
[Vengeance Day's theme song,
"Riptide" playing]

1412
01:18:52,427 --> 01:18:53,895
[Vic] Not only is Kofi Kingston

1413
01:18:53,962 --> 01:18:56,898
the longest-reigning African-American
WWE Champion,

1414
01:18:56,965 --> 01:18:59,367
but when he and Woods won
the NXT Tag Team Championships,

1415
01:18:59,434 --> 01:19:05,574
he became the most decorated
Tag Team Champion ever with 15 reigns.

1416
01:19:05,640 --> 01:19:09,211
Kofi Kingston continues
to break down barriers.

1417
01:19:09,277 --> 01:19:14,015
And, of course, Book, later on tonight,
the NXT Tag Team titles will be defended

1418
01:19:14,082 --> 01:19:15,617
in a 4-Way matchup,

1419
01:19:15,684 --> 01:19:17,285
but here in Charlotte, North Carolina,

1420
01:19:17,352 --> 01:19:20,489
it's a homecoming for a superstar
in one of those teams.

1421
01:19:20,555 --> 01:19:22,891
I'm talking about Andre Chase.

1422
01:19:25,927 --> 01:19:28,396
Mr. Chase, it's freezing.
What are we doing out here?

1423
01:19:28,463 --> 01:19:30,499
Duke and Thea,
I'll tell you what we're doing out here.

1424
01:19:30,565 --> 01:19:33,101
Spectrum Center,
Charlotte, North Carolina,

1425
01:19:33,168 --> 01:19:35,737
a place where I grew up
watching so many great moments.

1426
01:19:35,804 --> 01:19:39,674
Tomorrow night, we get the opportunity
to have our moment

1427
01:19:39,741 --> 01:19:42,711
because just like North Carolina legend,
Michael Jordan, said,

1428
01:19:42,777 --> 01:19:45,714
"Heart is what separates
the good from the great."

1429
01:19:45,781 --> 01:19:50,118
I know some people are looking at us like
we're the underdogs, but not in Charlotte.

1430
01:19:50,185 --> 01:19:53,789
Not in Charlotte, North Carolina,
because not only do we have heart,

1431
01:19:53,855 --> 01:19:57,292
Andre Chase University
has the home field advantage.

1432
01:19:57,359 --> 01:19:59,828
Let's go out there
and give those other three teams…

1433
01:19:59,895 --> 01:20:03,732
[both] …an Andre Chase University
sized ass whooping.

1434
01:20:03,799 --> 01:20:07,502

[Vic] Homecoming for Andre Chase.
All the fields for Chase here tonight,

1439
01:20:30,425 --> 01:20:34,229
as he and Duke Hudson
look to put gold around their waist.

1440
01:20:34,296 --> 01:20:36,965
[Booker] I'm thinking about putting
some money towards Chase U,

1441
01:20:37,032 --> 01:20:41,036
scholarships here, scholarship there.
What do you think about that?

1442
01:20:41,102 --> 01:20:45,173
[Vic] I think that a few months ago,
you wanted nothing to do--

1443
01:20:45,240 --> 01:20:47,843
[Booker] I'm liking
the direction of Duke Hudson.

1444
01:20:47,909 --> 01:20:49,311
-[Vic] Of course.
-[Booker] Duke Hudson the party.

1445
01:20:49,377 --> 01:20:52,113
-One other thing, I like this.
-[Vic] And the Chase U section.

1446
01:20:52,180 --> 01:20:56,484
The Chase U section
living it up here tonight.

1447
01:20:56,551 --> 01:21:00,355
Look, for Andre Chase, I had a chance
to talk to him earlier tonight.

1448
01:21:00,422 --> 01:21:04,860
He said coming back here, he has spent
a lot of time in the Spectrum Center,

1449
01:21:04,926 --> 01:21:06,361
whether it's coming to RAW,

1450
01:21:06,428 --> 01:21:09,831
coming to SmackDown,
coming to Premium Live Events.

1451
01:21:09,898 --> 01:21:12,867
His family is here,
his brother specifically,

1452
01:21:12,934 --> 01:21:15,871
who is his first tag team partner,
is in attendance.

1453
01:21:15,937 --> 01:21:18,807
He is looking to do it
for his family here tonight.

1454
01:21:18,874 --> 01:21:22,510
[Booker] Good thing and bad thing.
I don't like that, Vic, I'm serious.

1455
01:21:22,577 --> 01:21:24,379
-[Vic] Now, you don't like it?
-[Booker] Being at home,

01:21:24,446 --> 01:21:27,515
-it's not good being at home. Trust me.
-[Vic] You love being at home.

1457
01:21:27,582 --> 01:21:29,618
[Booker] No, not when you're in the ring.

["On And On" playing]

1459
01:21:36,324 --> 01:21:38,994
[Vic] There's no disqualification,
there's no count out,

1460
01:21:39,060 --> 01:21:42,697
pinfall, submission has to take place
inside the ring.

1461

Here's a pair of superstars who have worn
the gold before, trying to do it again.

Look, Book, all they needed to do,
that being Pretty Deadly,

1463
01:21:53,775 --> 01:21:59,648
was follow and complete a simple list
that was provided to them by The New Day.

1464
01:21:59,714 --> 01:22:01,383
They'd have faced New Day straight up.

1465
01:22:01,449 --> 01:22:03,852
So it's their fault
that they found themselves…

1466
01:22:03,919 --> 01:22:05,587
[Booker] Pretty Deadly.
-[Vic] …in this 4-Way matchup.

1467
01:22:05,654 --> 01:22:09,190
[Booker] Pretty Deadly, a debonair duo.

1468
01:22:09,257 --> 01:22:11,226
They shouldn't be here,
they shouldn't be in this match,

1469
01:22:11,293 --> 01:22:15,463
they should just be the Tag Team Champions
right now, you know that, I know that.

[Vic] I don't know that,
they're not the tag team,

That's who the tag team champions are.

that pass that airport test every time.

[Booker] They don't wanna face one team,
not two,

they wanna face three teams
to prove that they're the best.

How many?

the opportunity to those here in NXT?

1557
01:28:14,022 --> 01:28:15,323
That's what it's about,
that's what you said,

-Tag!

Duke Hudson and Pretty Deadly.

but it'll be a lotta confusion out there.

on all of that confusion?

01:28:29,103 --> 01:28:30,271
It'll be The New Day.

1563
01:28:30,338 --> 01:28:33,474
That's the master plan
out of this whole thing, Vic.

1564
01:28:33,541 --> 01:28:37,045
You may not see it,
but I know exactly what's going on.

1565
01:28:37,111 --> 01:28:39,614
[Vic] Who cares what the master plan is,
they're given the opportunity,

1566
01:28:39,681 --> 01:28:41,616
they had The New Day invitational,

1567
01:28:41,683 --> 01:28:44,752
that's how Andre and Chase University
entered this matchup.

1568
01:28:44,819 --> 01:28:48,056
[Booker] That's the only part
of that whole little thing that I like.

1569
01:28:48,122 --> 01:28:49,991
All these guys,
all getting the opportunity,

1570
01:28:50,058 --> 01:28:53,661
getting a chance at greatness.
Hopefully, one of them can pull it out.

1571
01:28:53,728 --> 01:28:57,465
[Vic] Kit Wilson, oh, going to be singing
an octave higher after that.

1572
01:28:57,532 --> 01:28:59,434
This is a teachable moment.

1573
01:28:59,500 --> 01:29:01,569
[Vic] Certainly wasn't--
Another tag was made

1574
01:29:01,636 --> 01:29:04,205
and this is that chaos
you were talking about earlier to me.

1575
01:29:04,272 --> 01:29:07,575
Everything, expect the unexpected
in this sort of matchup.

1576
01:29:07,642 --> 01:29:12,447
Now you see Mark Coffey entering the fray.
Look, for Gallus, they show no remorse.

1577
01:29:12,513 --> 01:29:15,550
-They love nothing more than a good scrap.
-[Booker] Oh, baby.

1578
01:29:15,616 --> 01:29:18,553
[Vic] The more teams the merrier,
when it comes to the Gallus boys.

1579
01:29:18,619 --> 01:29:21,723
[Booker] Let me tell you something,
I like this bruiser right here. Wolfgang.

1580
01:29:22,190 --> 01:29:28,663
No plan, no jiving. Check this out.
No wasted movement, just business.

1581
01:29:28,730 --> 01:29:31,766
I love everything about that,
and when I say everything,

1582
01:29:31,833 --> 01:29:34,302
I mean, everything. Oh, yes.

1583
01:29:34,769 --> 01:29:37,171
[Vic] We talked about Gallus,
now you see Mark Coffey.

1584
01:29:37,238 --> 01:29:39,374
Imagine this, imagine this.

1585
01:29:39,440 --> 01:29:43,611
[screaming]
Come on, you, you, you. Come on.

1586
01:29:43,678 --> 01:29:47,915
[Vic] Mark Coffey is the level-headed one
of Gallus. Think about that for a second.

1587
01:29:47,982 --> 01:29:50,318
Another tag was made
and in comes Xavier Woods.

1588
01:29:50,384 --> 01:29:53,488
Woods wants him some
of one of the Gallus boys and nice.

1589
01:29:53,554 --> 01:29:55,823
-[grunting]
-[audience cheering]

1590
01:29:56,290 --> 01:29:58,860
[Vic] Just unloading is Woods.

1591
01:29:58,926 --> 01:30:00,128
-[grunting]
-[Vic] Ooh!

1592
01:30:00,194 --> 01:30:01,596
-[Booker] Aw!
-[Vic] Another tag was made,

1593
01:30:01,662 --> 01:30:03,998
in comes Wolfgang.
Take a look at what Gallus is doing.

1594
01:30:04,065 --> 01:30:05,800
Gallus is keeping anyone
who's in the ring with him

1595
01:30:05,867 --> 01:30:08,903
-over in their corner making quick tags.
-[Booker] That's great tag teamwork.

1596
01:30:08,970 --> 01:30:12,707
I'm just looking at how both of these guys
go out and deliver everything.

1597
01:30:12,774 --> 01:30:14,809
Everything seems to be rock-solid.

1598
01:30:14,876 --> 01:30:17,445
[Vic] I was proved wrong as a tag
who's made and in comes Prince,

1599
01:30:17,512 --> 01:30:19,013
another tag will be made.

1600
01:30:19,080 --> 01:30:21,349
Of course, Pretty Deadly,
history with The New Day,

1601
01:30:21,416 --> 01:30:25,052
but look at everyone in this matchup.
Chase U respects The New Day.

1602
01:30:25,553 --> 01:30:27,922
Gallus really can care less
about The New Day

1603
01:30:27,989 --> 01:30:30,691
as right now
it's Wilson in control of Pretty Deadly,

1604
01:30:30,758 --> 01:30:33,594
who want to once again
call themselves champions.

1605
01:30:33,661 --> 01:30:35,696
[Booker] Definitely gotta give
Chase U some love

1606
01:30:35,763 --> 01:30:38,933
because they fought their way
into this matchup right here

1607
01:30:39,000 --> 01:30:42,937
beating Enofe and Blade
as well as the Schism.

1608
01:30:43,004 --> 01:30:44,639
That was a big deal for those guys.

1609
01:30:44,705 --> 01:30:48,142
[Vic] Off a suplex with a float over,
cover, oh, and a near-fall.

1610
01:30:48,743 --> 01:30:51,679
Closing on those tag titles
was Pretty Deadly.

1611
01:30:51,746 --> 01:30:55,616
Prince, Wilson have stated
Kofi and Woods ruined their life.

1612
01:30:55,683 --> 01:31:00,688
[Booker] They did. Vic, they should
despise everything about The New Day.

1613
01:31:00,755 --> 01:31:03,858
Those guys were having
one of the greatest tag team runs

1614
01:31:03,925 --> 01:31:09,130
in the history of not just NXT,
in the history of this business.

1615
01:31:09,197 --> 01:31:13,267
[Vic] They could get another one here,
another cover and kick out by Woods.

1616
01:31:13,334 --> 01:31:15,169
You ruined my life.

1617
01:31:16,471 --> 01:31:17,705
[Vic] Almost line queuing,

1618
01:31:17,772 --> 01:31:20,274
and they have not
been hiding their emotions,

1619
01:31:20,341 --> 01:31:22,810
that being Wilson and Prince.
I'll ask you this much.

1620
01:31:22,877 --> 01:31:26,647
You take the four teams,
unlikely to see any alliances,

1621
01:31:26,714 --> 01:31:30,585
Book, as we see a short-term alliance
between Pretty Deadly and Gallus.

1622
01:31:30,651 --> 01:31:32,119
[Booker] I doubt it. I doubt it.

1623
01:31:32,186 --> 01:31:36,724
Both teams are on two different islands,
two different planets, Vic.

1624
01:31:36,791 --> 01:31:38,726
[audience chanting indistinctly]

1625
01:31:38,793 --> 01:31:41,429
[Vic] Woods trying to feed off
the NXT Universe here in Charlotte,

1626
01:31:41,496 --> 01:31:44,699
desperately trying to get back
over to make a tag,

1627
01:31:44,765 --> 01:31:46,367
and so many bodies in this matchup.

1628
01:31:46,434 --> 01:31:51,072
Oh, Double Noggin Knocker
and right back in on the elbow.

1629
01:31:51,138 --> 01:31:54,775
[Booker] This kid jostling right now
is just blowing the boom on this…

1630
01:31:54,842 --> 01:31:57,011
-[Vic] Time and time again.
-[Booker] …this kid, Xavier Woods.

1631
01:31:57,078 --> 01:32:00,348
Not this kid, Xavier Woods.
This grown man, Xavier Woods.

1632
01:32:00,414 --> 01:32:02,884
[Vic] That's the most respectful thing
you've said about Woods.

1633
01:32:02,950 --> 01:32:05,219
[Booker] I just wanna reiterate,
but I'll tell you right now.

1634
01:32:05,286 --> 01:32:09,457
Kit Wilson and Elton Prince was just here
for some friendly competitions,

1635
01:32:09,523 --> 01:32:10,558
some friendly bouts.

1636
01:32:10,625 --> 01:32:14,295
They didn't expect the championship
to be stolen, hijacked.

1637
01:32:14,362 --> 01:32:15,563
They didn't expect that.

1638
01:32:15,630 --> 01:32:17,398
[Vic] It wasn't stolen
or it wasn't hijacked.

1639
01:32:17,465 --> 01:32:20,735
They lost a match.
They lost that match to The New Day,

1640
01:32:20,801 --> 01:32:24,105
who have since taken
the NXT Tag Team titles around the world

1641
01:32:24,171 --> 01:32:28,910
and have given these three teams
the opportunity at the gold on this stage.

1642
01:32:28,976 --> 01:32:31,879
Vengeance Day here in Charlotte,
and a cheap shot,

1643
01:32:31,946 --> 01:32:35,249
-but quite smart by Prince.
-[Booker] Elton Prince.

1644
01:32:35,316 --> 01:32:38,786
This kid is a jewel. He's a jewel.
He's a diamond.

1645
01:32:39,487 --> 01:32:43,624
[Vic] That diamond just got roughed up,
and now Woods has a bit of an opening.

1646
01:32:43,691 --> 01:32:47,295
He's got to make a tag.
Kofi is ready, Kofi is willing.

1647
01:32:47,361 --> 01:32:50,231
[audience chanting]

1648
01:32:50,298 --> 01:32:55,603
[Booker] Don't let Kofi get in
because he knows every trick in the book.

1649
01:32:55,670 --> 01:32:58,105
[Vic] The former WWE champion
coming right in

1650
01:32:58,172 --> 01:33:01,275
and just dropping everybody,
even giving some to Gallus.

1651
01:33:01,342 --> 01:33:04,078
[Booker] Here he goes.
Take nothing away from Kofi Kingston.

1652
01:33:04,145 --> 01:33:07,615
He is truly one of the best
this business has ever seen.

1653
01:33:07,682 --> 01:33:12,186
High flying, ground game and everything,
he's got it all.

1654
01:33:13,020 --> 01:33:13,955
[audience cheering]

1655
01:33:14,021 --> 01:33:18,059
[Vic] Kingston now trying
to take out everybody.

1656
01:33:18,793 --> 01:33:23,431
[Booker] Oh, he's about to boom drop.
I don't want to see it.

1657
01:33:23,497 --> 01:33:25,866
[audience cheering]

1658
01:33:25,933 --> 01:33:28,135
[audience chanting] New Day!

1659
01:33:28,202 --> 01:33:30,938
[Vic] Bam. It seems you know everything
he's about to do,

1660
01:33:31,005 --> 01:33:32,573
you must be a big fan of The New Day.

1661
01:33:32,640 --> 01:33:36,177
I see you likely wearing The New Day shirt
underneath that suit, Book.

1662
01:33:36,243 --> 01:33:38,179
-[Booker] Taking that--
-[Vic] Show your true colors.

1663
01:33:38,245 --> 01:33:40,748
-[Booker] I hate them.
-[audience chanting] New Day!

1664
01:33:40,815 --> 01:33:44,619
[Vic] New Day who's in the conversation
as one of the greatest tag teams ever

1665
01:33:44,685 --> 01:33:47,688
-in the WWE, in RAW, SmackDown, or NXT.
-[Booker] That's what I'm talking about.

1666
01:33:47,755 --> 01:33:52,393
-That's what I'm talking about.
-[Vic] SOS. And not enough to retain.

1667
01:33:52,460 --> 01:33:53,527
[audience] Oh.

1668
01:33:53,594 --> 01:33:56,998
[Booker] Kofi Kingston, one of the most
entertaining superstars I've ever seen,

1669
01:33:57,064 --> 01:34:00,568
but tonight he's in trouble
as all of these young guys want it all.

1670
01:34:00,634 --> 01:34:02,503
Here comes big Duke Hudson.

1671
01:34:02,570 --> 01:34:06,307
[Vic] All trying to get into this matchup.
We talked about chaos.

1672
01:34:06,374 --> 01:34:09,410
That's where Gallus thrives,
as Mark Coffey standing.

1673
01:34:09,477 --> 01:34:13,648
Oh! Not for long.
And take a look now at who's up.

1674
01:34:13,714 --> 01:34:15,950
[Booker] This is what I was talking about,
the chaos, the madness,

1675
01:34:16,017 --> 01:34:18,652
-it was gonna happen sooner or later.
-[Vic] Who's up? Who's down?

1676
01:34:18,719 --> 01:34:20,054
-It's Kofi.
-[Booker] I thought The New Day

1677
01:34:20,121 --> 01:34:21,989
-would capitalize here.
-[Vic] Is this it? Titles on the line.

1678
01:34:22,056 --> 01:34:25,826
-[Booker] Oh, no. So close.
-[Vic] And Kingston just able to kick out.

1679
01:34:25,893 --> 01:34:27,728
[Kit] Okay, look. Okay, look.

1680
01:34:28,829 --> 01:34:31,932
[Vic] And Pretty Deadly right now,
to their credit,

1681
01:34:31,999 --> 01:34:35,136
-staying composed in this situation.
-[Booker] They need to move.

1682
01:34:35,202 --> 01:34:36,904
[Vic] Everyone's down.
They're the only ones up.

1683
01:34:36,971 --> 01:34:38,906
[Booker] Yeah, but the time is a wasting.

1684
01:34:38,973 --> 01:34:43,511
That sand in the hourglass
is running out quick.

1685
01:34:44,245 --> 01:34:45,246
[grunting]

1686
01:34:45,312 --> 01:34:47,081
[Vic] Kingston up, Kingston over.

1687
01:34:47,148 --> 01:34:51,218
Right now, Pretty Deadly's opportunity
as you pointed out, Book, could be gone.

1688
01:34:51,285 --> 01:34:52,420
[Booker] This is what I'm saying,

1689
01:34:52,486 --> 01:34:54,688
you gotta make your move
in a matchup like this.

1690
01:34:54,755 --> 01:34:58,225
Right now, Xavier and Kofi,
look at that tag team tandem.

1691
01:34:58,292 --> 01:35:00,094
Look at that tag team work
between these two.

1692
01:35:00,161 --> 01:35:02,630
Can't take it away from them.
They're good. They're real good.

1693
01:35:02,697 --> 01:35:05,933
[Vic] This is how Kofi and Woods
have won so many matches.

1694
01:35:06,000 --> 01:35:08,436
Have won so much gold,
can they do it again?

1695
01:35:08,502 --> 01:35:12,106
Everybody getting involved to break it up.

1696
01:35:12,173 --> 01:35:16,610
[Booker] This is what it's all about.
It's about the Tag Team Championship.

1697
01:35:16,677 --> 01:35:18,679
It's about that gold, baby.

1698
01:35:18,746 --> 01:35:23,217
[Vic] It's about Vengeance Day,
it's about Charlotte, North Carolina.

1699
01:35:23,284 --> 01:35:26,387
-It's about setting the bar once again.
-[Booker] So close, Vic.

1700
01:35:26,454 --> 01:35:32,960
[Vic] Take a look at the height of Kofi,
and then, boom, sticking that landing.

1701
01:35:33,027 --> 01:35:36,597
You gotta admit, if these other teams
didn't get involved,

1702
01:35:36,664 --> 01:35:38,966
New Day could've been retaining
their NXT Tag Team titles.

1703
01:35:39,033 --> 01:35:42,036
[Booker] These two guys, man,
know how important a matchup like this is.

1704
01:35:42,103 --> 01:35:46,407
To cash-in to become Tag Team Champions
in a matchup like this to say,

1705
01:35:46,474 --> 01:35:51,912
"I beat them all. We beat everybody.
We're on another level." Yes, I get it.

1706
01:35:51,979 --> 01:35:54,381
[Vic] New Day has given this opportunity
to these three teams,

1707
01:35:54,448 --> 01:35:58,486
held that New Day invitational
and now things are breaking down.

1708
01:35:58,552 --> 01:36:01,856
-Referee's gotta get some sort of control.
-[Booker] It's getting too close, Vic.

1709
01:36:01,922 --> 01:36:06,160
-It's getting too close.
-[Vic] Oh. Say that one more time.

1710
01:36:06,227 --> 01:36:09,029
Right here in front of us,
referee right now.

1711
01:36:09,096 --> 01:36:10,431
[audience clamoring]

1712
01:36:10,498 --> 01:36:13,000
[Vic] This has turned
into an all-out hockey fight.

1713
01:36:13,067 --> 01:36:15,636
[Booker] Oh, Kofi Kingston's up top.

1714
01:36:15,703 --> 01:36:17,805
-He's perched for something.
-[Vic] I don't like it.

1715
01:36:17,872 --> 01:36:19,340
-[Booker] I like it.
-[Vic] I don't like it.

1716
01:36:19,406 --> 01:36:22,610
-[Booker] Oh!
-[audience cheering]

1717
01:36:22,676 --> 01:36:27,281
[audience booing]

1718
01:36:27,748 --> 01:36:32,119
[Vic] Book, Andre Chase the only one--
Oh, no.

1719
01:36:32,186 --> 01:36:34,355
-[audience clamoring]
-No.

1720
01:36:34,421 --> 01:36:37,591
[Booker] Kit Wilson has something
to say about that, Vic.

1721
01:36:37,658 --> 01:36:42,129
[Vic] And look at the field now,
and what's on the mind of Wilson?

1722
01:36:42,196 --> 01:36:45,666
You talk about wanting
those NXT Tag Team titles.

1723
01:36:45,733 --> 01:36:47,001
Willing to risk it all.

1724
01:36:47,067 --> 01:36:51,105
[Booker chuckling] Oh, I don't like
the looks of this, but I like it.

1725
01:36:51,172 --> 01:36:53,707
[audience clamoring and cheering]

1726
01:36:57,278 --> 01:37:01,315
-[Booker] He's not going to-- No.
-[audience cheering]

1727
01:37:01,382 --> 01:37:05,753
-[man 5] Come on, Duke.
-[audience clamoring]

1728
01:37:05,820 --> 01:37:10,057
[audience chanting] Holy shit!

1729
01:37:10,124 --> 01:37:12,726
[Booker] Oh, how sick was that?

1730
01:37:12,793 --> 01:37:15,796
[Vic] Book, take another look…

1731
01:37:15,863 --> 01:37:21,468
-[Booker] How sick was that, Vic?
-[Vic] …at this human Demolition Derby.

1732
01:37:21,535 --> 01:37:24,338
Here right in front of us.
As back to live action.

1733
01:37:24,405 --> 01:37:28,275
Somehow Andre Chase is on his feet.
Chase trying to swing away.

1734
01:37:28,342 --> 01:37:30,978
[Booker] That's adrenaline right there,
Vic. That's adrenaline.

1735
01:37:31,045 --> 01:37:33,781
Throwing this man's body. Oh, my God.

1736
01:37:33,848 --> 01:37:37,251
[Vic] Again, there's no count outs,
there's no disqualifications.

1737
01:37:37,318 --> 01:37:39,987
-Oh, whoa, Book.
-[Booker] I knew it was coming.

1738
01:37:40,788 --> 01:37:46,727
-Oh, here we go. Oh, no.
-[Vic] Thankfully for Duke Hudson.

1739
01:37:46,794 --> 01:37:48,562
[woman] Come on. Come on.

1740
01:37:48,629 --> 01:37:52,499
[Vic] Hudson, in here,
and Chase U now taking things over.

1741
01:37:52,566 --> 01:37:55,336
[Booker] Duke Hudson is cleaning house
right now, Vic.

1742
01:37:55,402 --> 01:37:58,706
And now he's rearranging the furniture.

1743
01:38:00,140 --> 01:38:03,744
[Vic] What? You say that again. Oh!

1744
01:38:03,811 --> 01:38:04,845
[audience groan]

1745
01:38:04,912 --> 01:38:07,047
[Vic] Oh, Pretty Deadly now.

1746
01:38:07,114 --> 01:38:09,350
We said that, Book,
this will be pure chaos.

1747
01:38:09,416 --> 01:38:13,187
-It's exactly what it has turned into.
-[Booker] Oh, hell. Oh, no.

1748
01:38:13,254 --> 01:38:15,189
-[Vic] No, no, no.
-[Booker] Oh, no. Oh, no.

1749
01:38:15,256 --> 01:38:16,624
[Vic] Hudson trying to hold.

1750
01:38:16,690 --> 01:38:19,193
-Pretty Deadly trying to take out Duke.
-[Booker] That's a big guy.

1751
01:38:19,260 --> 01:38:22,229
But it's going to take a lot, Vic.

1752
01:38:23,530 --> 01:38:24,531
[Vic] Hudson.

1753
01:38:24,598 --> 01:38:26,433
[audience cheering]

1754
01:38:26,500 --> 01:38:28,435
[Vic] Oh, no. Pretty Deadly.

1755
01:38:28,502 --> 01:38:29,637
[groaning]

1756
01:38:30,871 --> 01:38:33,107
-[Vic] Oh!
-[Booker] Oh, wow.

1757
01:38:33,173 --> 01:38:35,542
-[groaning]
-No, no, no way.

1758
01:38:35,609 --> 01:38:39,680
[Booker] Wow.
Duke Hudson took a shot right there, Vic.

1759
01:38:39,747 --> 01:38:41,248
Took a big shot.

1760
01:38:41,315 --> 01:38:44,485
[audience booing]

1761
01:38:45,052 --> 01:38:47,354
-[Booker] Thank you.
-[Vic] What are you thanking them for?

1762
01:38:47,421 --> 01:38:48,956
[Booker] They don't want no parts of this.

1763
01:38:49,023 --> 01:38:51,759
[Vic] They didn't bring any champagne.
They didn't bring you any caviar.

1764
01:38:51,825 --> 01:38:53,594
[Booker] They don't want
any parts of this, Vic.

1765
01:38:53,661 --> 01:38:57,464
-I appreciate that.
-[Vic] Back into the ring again.

1766
01:38:57,531 --> 01:38:59,466
It's the only place
the titles can change hands.

1767
01:38:59,533 --> 01:39:04,471
Pinfall, submission, and Duke Hudson now.
Oh, steamrolling Pretty Deadly.

1768
01:39:04,538 --> 01:39:07,474
And is this the night for Chase U?

1769
01:39:07,541 --> 01:39:11,645
[audience cheering]

1770
01:39:13,047 --> 01:39:19,019
[Vic] The only team in this matchup
to never hold gold in NXT or in the WWE.

1771
01:39:19,086 --> 01:39:21,755
Big overhead belly-to-belly toss.

1772
01:39:22,389 --> 01:39:25,225
Hudson now taking out
anything that's moving.

1773
01:39:25,292 --> 01:39:27,661
Now you can even take
a look at Mark Coffey.

1774
01:39:28,462 --> 01:39:29,563
Coffey gets dropped.

1775
01:39:29,630 --> 01:39:33,467
[Booker] Duke Hudson is coming off
one of the biggest wins of the year now.

1776
01:39:33,534 --> 01:39:34,935
[Vic] Can you imagine, Book?

1777
01:39:35,002 --> 01:39:36,770
-Imagine the enrollment numbers.
-[Booker] Talk to me.

1778
01:39:36,837 --> 01:39:42,109
[Vic] Imagine the enrollment numbers
if Chase U wins the NXT Tag Team titles.

1779
01:39:42,176 --> 01:39:45,312
[Booker] Oh, that's a big kip up
by the big man.

1780
01:39:45,379 --> 01:39:48,482
-Oh, you got to love it.
-[Vic] Uh-oh, Book.

1781
01:39:48,549 --> 01:39:51,719
Hudson warming up the marching band.

1782
01:39:51,785 --> 01:39:52,720
[stomping]

1783
01:39:52,786 --> 01:39:54,355
[groans]

1784
01:39:57,224 --> 01:40:01,228
[Vic] Wolfgang helping out Coffey.
And again, right out here.

1785
01:40:01,295 --> 01:40:03,230
What the-- Book, watch out.

1786
01:40:03,297 --> 01:40:05,699
[Booker] I'm trying to move,
I'm trying to stay outta the way, Vic.

1787
01:40:05,766 --> 01:40:08,769
[Vic] Book, you're in fighting shape,
you were just not in the Royal Rumble.

1788
01:40:08,836 --> 01:40:11,472
[Booker]
A lotta traffic out here right now.

1789
01:40:11,538 --> 01:40:13,607
-Oh, no.
-[Vic] Oh, no, no, no.

1790
01:40:13,674 --> 01:40:17,678
[Booker] Oh, my God. Oh, my God, Vic.

1791
01:40:17,745 --> 01:40:21,482
[audience cheering]

1792
01:40:23,250 --> 01:40:27,354
[Booker] Gallus boys are back.

1793
01:40:27,421 --> 01:40:31,725
[audience chanting] Holy shit!

1794
01:40:31,792 --> 01:40:35,496
[audience chanting] NXT!

1795
01:40:35,562 --> 01:40:40,267
[Vic] Duke Hudson loves Chase University,
says he bleeds red and black,

1796
01:40:40,334 --> 01:40:46,673
and I think he just proved it yet again,
but now do the math, Book, two on one.

1797
01:40:46,740 --> 01:40:50,010
Look around us, who's standing?
It's only the Gallus boys.

1798
01:40:50,077 --> 01:40:53,313
But who's fighting?
It's Andre Chase in his hometown.

1799
01:40:54,081 --> 01:40:55,149
[Booker] Two-on-one, Vic.

1800
01:40:55,215 --> 01:40:57,651
[Vic] Everyone in Charlotte
behind Andre Chase.

1801
01:40:57,718 --> 01:41:00,487
-Chase trying to make this homecoming.
-[Booker] Coffey just took a big shot.

1802
01:41:00,554 --> 01:41:02,289
[Vic] Trying to make his dream come true.

1803
01:41:02,356 --> 01:41:06,193
[Booker chuckling] Oh, Andre Chase,
he's capable, very capable.

1804
01:41:06,260 --> 01:41:09,063
-We know that.
-[Vic] That Brad Armstrong-type leg sweep.

1805
01:41:09,129 --> 01:41:12,199
[audience cheering and applauding]

1806
01:41:12,266 --> 01:41:14,435
-Give me a C.
-[audience] C!

1807
01:41:14,501 --> 01:41:15,936
-H.
-[audience] H!

1808
01:41:16,003 --> 01:41:17,271
-A.
-[audience] A!

1809
01:41:17,337 --> 01:41:18,572
-S.
-[audience yelling] S!

1810
01:41:18,639 --> 01:41:19,873
-E.
-[audience] E!

1811
01:41:19,940 --> 01:41:21,108
-U.
-[audience] U!

1812
01:41:21,175 --> 01:41:23,744
-What's that spell?
-[audience] Chase U!

1813
01:41:23,811 --> 01:41:26,713
[Booker] Oh, the people are in this, Vic.

1814
01:41:26,780 --> 01:41:28,982
-Here we go.
-[Vic] This is your moment.

1815
01:41:29,049 --> 01:41:32,619
Andre Chase came to this building
many times before.

1816
01:41:32,686 --> 01:41:36,623
Can he call himself a champion?
High crossbody. Cover.

1817
01:41:36,690 --> 01:41:39,726
[Booker] Oh, no. Wow. So close, Vic.

1818
01:41:39,793 --> 01:41:42,362
[Vic] So close,
but, look, Chase not wasting any time.

1819
01:41:42,429 --> 01:41:43,831
And now-- Uh-huh!

1820
01:41:43,897 --> 01:41:49,269
[Booker] Oh, Charlotte, North Carolina's
favorite son, "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair.

1821
01:41:49,336 --> 01:41:51,672
-Oh, my God. You gotta love it.
-[Vic] Will he tap?

1822
01:41:51,738 --> 01:41:54,374
The figure four is locked in.
There's no one around.

1823
01:41:54,441 --> 01:41:58,378
Mark Coffey reaching, desperately trying
to find that bottom rope.

1824
01:41:58,445 --> 01:42:01,148
-[Booker] Oh, Wolfgang.
-[Vic] What the hell, Wolfgang?

1825
01:42:01,215 --> 01:42:02,983
[Booker] Wolfgang just lowered the boom.

1826
01:42:03,050 --> 01:42:07,054
[Vic] Swanton Bomb connects,
and now hoisting up Andre Chase.

1827
01:42:07,721 --> 01:42:09,323
-[Vic] Bam!
-[Booker] Double tap,

1828
01:42:09,389 --> 01:42:12,759
-double tap right there on Andre Chase.
-One, two--

1829
01:42:12,826 --> 01:42:15,229
-[Vic] Two! Chase kicks out.
-[Booker] Wow.

1830
01:42:15,295 --> 01:42:16,797
[Vic] That's how we've seen Gallus

1831
01:42:16,864 --> 01:42:19,766
have a record tag team title reign
in the United Kingdom.

1832
01:42:19,833 --> 01:42:22,569
We've seen Gallus win time
and time again in NXT,

1833
01:42:22,636 --> 01:42:25,706
but they couldn't keep
Andre Chase down tonight

1834
01:42:25,772 --> 01:42:29,543
and looking for it
maybe one more time, instead Kofi.

1835
01:42:30,410 --> 01:42:34,014
Kofi Kingston, New Day, trying to keep
their gold around their waist.

1836
01:42:34,081 --> 01:42:38,018
[Booker] The most experienced team
there still in this thing, still fighting

1837
01:42:38,085 --> 01:42:40,454
-'cause it's all about the championship.
-[Vic] Showing you how much…

1838
01:42:40,521 --> 01:42:42,589
-[Booker] It's all about those titles.
-[Vic] …they love.

1839
01:42:42,656 --> 01:42:43,991
[both] Oh!

1840
01:42:44,057 --> 01:42:46,026
[Booker] Pretty Deadly.

1841
01:42:46,093 --> 01:42:48,061
-It's real deadly right now.
-[Vic] Spilt Milk.

1842
01:42:48,128 --> 01:42:51,865
[Booker] Good night, Kofi Kingston.
Get this man a pillow.

1843
01:42:51,932 --> 01:42:54,134
-[screaming]
-[inaudible]

1844
01:42:54,201 --> 01:42:57,671
[Vic] Yeah, Pretty Deadly very happy
with themselves in this moment,

1845
01:42:57,738 --> 01:42:59,439
but still so much more going on.

1846
01:42:59,506 --> 01:43:04,478
Woods now getting caught,
able to stand and reverse right back in.

1847
01:43:04,545 --> 01:43:07,214
Big forearm. This could be it for Woods.

1848
01:43:07,281 --> 01:43:09,816
New Day,
can they overcome the odds tonight?

1849
01:43:09,883 --> 01:43:13,654
[Booker] And Xavier's going up top.
He'll try to pull it off all by himself.

1850
01:43:13,720 --> 01:43:14,855
-[Vic] Walking.
-[Booker] I don't know.

1851
01:43:14,922 --> 01:43:16,890
-Oh, baby.
-[Vic] Oh, he got caught.

1852
01:43:16,957 --> 01:43:22,095
[Booker] Oh, baby. Double up, one time.
Here we go.

1853
01:43:22,162 --> 01:43:24,498
-…two, three.
-[Booker] Yes!

1854
01:43:24,565 --> 01:43:25,599
[bell rings]

1855
01:43:25,666 --> 01:43:28,335
[Booker] Yes, Vic, Vic.

1856
01:43:28,869 --> 01:43:30,837
[Alicia] Here are your winners

1857
01:43:30,904 --> 01:43:36,843
and new NXT Tag Team Champions,

1858
01:43:37,444 --> 01:43:39,146
Gallus.

1859
01:43:39,213 --> 01:43:42,783
-[Vic] I haven't seen you this happy.
-[Booker] Oh. No, Vic.

1860
01:43:42,849 --> 01:43:46,086
-[Vic] Why? Because New Day lost?
-[Booker] No, this is young blood.

1861
01:43:46,153 --> 01:43:48,255
This is the next right here.

1862
01:43:48,322 --> 01:43:51,725
This is the next level of superstars
here in NXT.

1863
01:43:51,792 --> 01:43:55,162
We're talking about Coffey,
we're talking about Wolfgang,

1864
01:43:55,228 --> 01:43:58,232
we're talking about Gallus.
Oh, my God, man.

1865
01:43:58,298 --> 01:44:00,467
[Vic] Let's take a look
back at some of the action.

1866
01:44:00,534 --> 01:44:04,638
At this moment in the matchup,
Chase U was isolated.

1867
01:44:04,705 --> 01:44:08,709
Duke Hudson was wiped out,
Andre Chase was by himself.

1868
01:44:08,775 --> 01:44:10,510
He had a valiant effort.

1869
01:44:10,577 --> 01:44:14,281
Wolfgang, though, able to change
the game in that moment.

1870
01:44:14,348 --> 01:44:16,149
Kofi Kingston, though, showcasing

1871
01:44:16,216 --> 01:44:20,587
why he and Woods have been the face
of this division for the last few weeks

1872
01:44:20,654 --> 01:44:22,255
putting this tag team division
on their back,

1873
01:44:22,322 --> 01:44:24,658
but a little Spilt Milk on the outside

1874
01:44:24,725 --> 01:44:27,728
would wipe away
New Day's championship dreams.

1875
01:44:27,794 --> 01:44:31,732
Woods gave it his best effort,
but right here in the end, bam,

1876
01:44:31,798 --> 01:44:35,936
another one, two combo
by Wolfgang and Mark Coffey.

1877

-And here tonight…
-[bell rings]

1878
01:44:38,538 --> 01:44:43,343
[Vic] …the second set of Tag Team titles
change hands.

1879
01:44:43,844 --> 01:44:49,683
And it is certainly a New Day
and a new kingdom has risen.

1880
01:44:49,750 --> 01:44:54,087
Wolfgang, Mark Coffey, Gallus boys on top.

1883
01:45:04,965 --> 01:45:09,503
[Vic] Well, there you see the challenger
for the NXT championship, Grayson Waller.

1884
01:45:09,569 --> 01:45:13,173
Will he indeed have
his viral moment tonight

1885
01:45:13,240 --> 01:45:15,409
in the main event of Vengeance Day?

1886
01:45:17,944 --> 01:45:21,581
[Vic] We wanna extend a special thank you
to Beartooth for "Riptide,"

1887
01:45:21,648 --> 01:45:24,451
an official theme of NXT Vengeance Day.

1891
01:45:35,696 --> 01:45:38,999
Roxanne Perez has to overcome
a toxic challenge.

1892
01:45:39,066 --> 01:45:43,270
She doesn't need to be factored
in the decision to lose her title.

1893

Are the odds too great for Perez

[dramatic music playing]

1896
01:45:53,814 --> 01:45:58,518
[Roxanne] I've literally been working
towards this my entire life.

1897
01:45:59,286 --> 01:46:05,058
Since I was 13 years old,
I put my blood, sweat, and tears

1898
01:46:05,125 --> 01:46:08,595
into this business
just so I could end up here.

1899
01:46:08,662 --> 01:46:13,767

and now it's real.

-[Michael] Welcome home, Roxanne.

to face me

we only watch and care about one woman,
one target, Roxanne Perez.

Roxanne, you have the same percent
chance of winning that match on Saturday

1923
01:47:54,668 --> 01:47:58,705
as you did of winning the Royal Rumble,
0% chance.

against the two baddest women in NXT

-at the same time--
-You have no chance.

1926

[Roxanne] You two have thrown insults
at every single woman in that locker room.

1927
01:48:09,649 --> 01:48:12,118
[Booker] Oh, wow. That was an accident.

1928
01:48:12,185 --> 01:48:14,387
[Roxanne]
I'm glad you two are feeling the same way

1929

it's going to be two against one.

[Gigi] At Vengeance Day,
the course of this women's division

1934

will shift back to the attraction when I--
when we become the NXT Women's Champion.

-[Gigi] Oh, where is she going?
-[Jacy] See ya. Bye

-Bye.
-Is she leaving?

1937
01:48:41,615 --> 01:48:43,116
Is she gonna leave
in the middle of an interview?

1938
01:48:43,183 --> 01:48:44,818
-She can't take the heat?
-That's our champ.

[Jacy] Roxanne,
how are you gonna beat the two of us?

1945
01:49:01,234 --> 01:49:05,872

This one I know you personally
have been looking forward to.

1951
01:49:26,026 --> 01:49:27,427
[Booker] Yeah.

1952
01:49:35,535 --> 01:49:39,739
[Vic] When it comes to Dolin, Jayne,
and Toxic Attraction,

1953
01:49:39,806 --> 01:49:45,812
they're looking to stop the future
to rebuild their own empire here in NXT.

[Vic] The questions to the list,
though, Book,

1957
01:49:58,725 --> 01:50:01,528
I'm trying to see
if there's going to be any dissension,

1958
01:50:01,594 --> 01:50:03,730
I'm trying to see
if there's anything going on

1959
01:50:03,797 --> 01:50:07,634
between these two
because they have fooled me once.

1960
01:50:08,435 --> 01:50:11,304
Can they do it again here tonight?
Are they on the same page?

1961
01:50:11,371 --> 01:50:15,375
[Booker] Vic, we're just getting started.
We got plenty of time for that.

This is Toxic. This is Gigi. This is Jacy.

-[Booker] No, I'm just telling like it is.

1967
01:51:02,355 --> 01:51:05,191
[Vic] I just had to think
about what you just said.

1968
01:51:05,258 --> 01:51:09,396
-You know, you're not on Perez's side?
-[Booker] I'm not on anybody's side.

1969
01:51:09,462 --> 01:51:12,232
[Vic] No, that's a damn lie.
You've been on Roxanne Perez's side

1970
01:51:12,298 --> 01:51:14,968
-since she arrived.
-[Booker] I'm not on anybody's side.

1971
01:51:15,035 --> 01:51:17,203
-Impartial.
-[Vic] Impartial.

1972
01:51:17,270 --> 01:51:20,874
Well, here's the thing.
Book, I know where your heart truly lies.

1973
01:51:20,940 --> 01:51:23,877
You may not want to say it,
but I know where it truly lies.

1974
01:51:23,943 --> 01:51:26,913
And you can't sit here and fully think

1975
01:51:26,980 --> 01:51:29,549
that Roxanne Perez is gonna retain
in your heart of hearts.

1976
01:51:29,616 --> 01:51:31,184
[Booker]
Do I think Roxanne can win this match?

1977
01:51:31,251 --> 01:51:34,087
Yes, I do.
Do I think the odds are against Roxanne?

1978
01:51:34,154 --> 01:51:37,123
Yes, they are. But you know
what I say about obstacles, Vic?

1979
01:51:37,190 --> 01:51:40,126
Sometimes you gotta go over,
under, around.

1980
01:51:40,193 --> 01:51:43,463
Sometimes you gotta go straight
through that obstacle,

1981
01:51:43,530 --> 01:51:47,200
and that's what Roxanne.
That's what Roxanne is tonight.

1982
01:51:47,267 --> 01:51:50,970
I was gonna say my girl. I'm impartial.
That's what Roxanne is right there.

2000
01:52:47,927 --> 01:52:48,995
[Booker] Yeah.

2001
01:52:50,063 --> 01:52:53,066
[Vic] As you can hear the NXT Universe
for Roxanne Perez,

2002
01:52:53,133 --> 01:52:54,701
the year it's been,
she won the title, right?

2003
01:52:54,768 --> 01:52:59,239
Then she shows up in the Alamodome
in the women's Royal Rumble match.

2004
01:52:59,305 --> 01:53:01,641
[Booker] Yes, indeed.
You talk about that smile.

2005
01:53:01,708 --> 01:53:06,513
Vic, don't let the smooth taste fool you.
[chuckling]

2006
01:53:06,579 --> 01:53:09,149
-[Vic] There it is, right off the rip.
-[Booker] She's a fighter.

2007
01:53:09,215 --> 01:53:12,552
[Vic] Yeah, but it's two on--
Book, this is a glorified handicap match,

2008
01:53:12,619 --> 01:53:14,120
possibly in some aspects.

2009
01:53:14,187 --> 01:53:17,524
Just take a look at Perez
and right off the rip, here we go.

2010
01:53:17,590 --> 01:53:20,960
Toxic Attraction, playing the numbers game
and it's smart, it's wise,

2011
01:53:21,027 --> 01:53:22,762
it's to their advantage.

2012
01:53:22,829 --> 01:53:25,632
[Booker] You know, it's smart,
you say that, Vic,

2013
01:53:25,698 --> 01:53:28,768
but I feel like somewhere along the way,

2014
01:53:28,835 --> 01:53:32,939
something is going to happen
between those two, Gigi and Jacy,

2015
01:53:33,006 --> 01:53:35,675
to make this thing
more of an even competition.

2016
01:53:35,742 --> 01:53:37,844
I'm just feeling that. I could be wrong.

2017
01:53:37,911 --> 01:53:39,345
[screaming]

2018
01:53:39,412 --> 01:53:41,714
Look at us, bitch,
the champions are right here, baby.

[audience booing]

2020
01:53:43,349 --> 01:53:45,552
[Vic] You can hear the jeers
from the NXT Universe.

2021
01:53:45,618 --> 01:53:48,354
So if there's doubt in your mind,
both about Roxanne Perez.

2022
01:53:48,421 --> 01:53:49,989
[grunting]

2023
01:53:50,056 --> 01:53:53,026
[Vic] What about the doubt in her mind
entering this matchup?

2024
01:53:53,092 --> 01:53:55,628
She can't be as confident as ever
heading into this,

2025
01:53:55,695 --> 01:53:58,264
knowing that her back is up
against the wall.

2026
01:53:58,331 --> 01:54:02,035
-[Booker] Doubt is something--
-[Vic] Again, it's two-on-one.

2027
01:54:02,101 --> 01:54:03,469
-Take a look.
-[Booker] Doubt is something

2028
01:54:03,536 --> 01:54:06,873
that's going to creep
into every champion's mind at some point.

2029
01:54:06,940 --> 01:54:10,276
That's what make you champion, Vic.
Those moments.

2030
01:54:10,343 --> 01:54:12,912
Being in those moments
and not just being in those moments,

2031
01:54:12,979 --> 01:54:18,284
but being able to overcome those moments.
That's what Roxanne Perez is right now.

2032
01:54:18,351 --> 01:54:20,620
[Vic] Again, no count out,
no disqualification.

2033
01:54:20,687 --> 01:54:24,090
Toxic Attraction, who in their own right,
one of the best tag teams

2034
01:54:24,157 --> 01:54:26,059
to ever grace the squared circle
here in NXT.

2035
01:54:26,125 --> 01:54:28,328
Shoulders down and right up.
There we go now.

2036
01:54:28,394 --> 01:54:31,564
Perez trying her best to fight back,
but there is Jayne.

2037
01:54:31,631 --> 01:54:33,366
When you can't fight everybody,

2038
01:54:33,433 --> 01:54:35,869
you can't keep your eyes everywhere
in a Triple Threat Match.

2039
01:54:35,935 --> 01:54:39,606
For Perez, it's not really one-on-one,
it's two-on-one.

2040
01:54:39,672 --> 01:54:42,842
She's gotta overcome the odds
and right now it's not looking good.

2041
01:54:42,909 --> 01:54:46,980
[Booker] Let me tell you something, Vic,
Perez is one of the youngest champions

2042
01:54:47,046 --> 01:54:48,448
-we've ever seen in WWE.
-[Vic] Ever.

2043
01:54:48,514 --> 01:54:50,316
[Booker] She doesn't know
a whole lot about losing.

2044
01:54:50,383 --> 01:54:53,453
She knows about trying to go out there
and win. That's what she's all about.

2045
01:54:53,519 --> 01:54:55,288
[Vic] But here's the thing.

2046
01:54:55,355 --> 01:54:58,157
You see Jayne and Dolin on the same page
helping each other.

2047
01:54:58,224 --> 01:55:02,262
There's no one here to help Perez.
This is a lose-lose situation for her.

2048
01:55:02,328 --> 01:55:05,131
She's got to overcome
two other superstars.

2049
01:55:05,198 --> 01:55:06,766
She's gotta do it by herself.

2050
01:55:06,833 --> 01:55:09,636
Of course, we saw a different side
of Perez this past week.

2051
01:55:09,702 --> 01:55:13,339
When we talk about killer instinct a lot.
We know Toxic Attraction has it.

2052
01:55:13,406 --> 01:55:16,509
Has Roxanne Perez fully grasped
that way of thinking?

2053
01:55:16,576 --> 01:55:18,611
[Booker] Vic, she's a fighter.
She's been doing this

2054
01:55:18,678 --> 01:55:21,948
since she was 16 years old.
Iron woman champion.

2055
01:55:22,015 --> 01:55:25,218
-How many can say that, Vic?
-[Vic] Only she can.

2056
01:55:25,285 --> 01:55:28,922
[Booker] That's what I'm talking about.
She knows a little bit about fighting.

2057
01:55:28,988 --> 01:55:31,391
She didn't slip on a banana peel
and become champion.

2058
01:55:31,457 --> 01:55:34,994
She didn't get here by osmosis
or anything like that. It's training, Vic.

2059
01:55:35,061 --> 01:55:37,997
It's training. Oh, beautiful. Beautiful.

2060
01:55:38,064 --> 01:55:41,968
[Vic] It took out Dolin, Jayne, though,
still standing, and now coming right back.

2061
01:55:42,035 --> 01:55:43,803
-And-- oh!
-[Booker] Oh, wow.

2062
01:55:43,870 --> 01:55:45,672
[audience cheering]

2063
01:55:45,738 --> 01:55:49,108
[Vic] Jayne finally realizing
what she's done. This is that moment.

2064
01:55:49,175 --> 01:55:51,110
You said it earlier tonight, Book.

2065
01:55:51,177 --> 01:55:53,012
"You gotta strike
while the iron's hot," right?

2066
01:55:53,079 --> 01:55:55,448
-[Booker] You gotta do that.
-[Vic] The iron's hot right now for Perez.

2067
01:55:55,515 --> 01:55:59,619
[Booker] You gotta find yourself
in these situations sooner or later.

2068
01:55:59,686 --> 01:56:04,190
And you gotta have to fight through them,
and that's what this young lady, Perez,

2069
01:56:04,257 --> 01:56:07,493
has been about since she was 16,
no, since she was seven.

2070
01:56:07,560 --> 01:56:10,163
-Fighting. Overcoming the odds.
-[Vic] Cover to retain.

2071
01:56:10,229 --> 01:56:12,098
-[Booker] Beautiful.
-[Vic] Jayne just able to kick out,

2072
01:56:12,165 --> 01:56:13,933
and right into a crossface.

2073
01:56:14,000 --> 01:56:15,768
It worked for Carmelo Hayes
earlier tonight.

2074
01:56:15,835 --> 01:56:17,670
-Will it work out for Perez?
-[Booker] I like this.

2075
01:56:17,737 --> 01:56:19,973
-Trying to break.
-[Vic] Shoulders down, shoulders down,

2076
01:56:20,039 --> 01:56:22,308
but Perez able to break the hold,
to break the count.

2077
01:56:22,375 --> 01:56:24,110
[Booker]
Trying to break down Jacy right now.

2078
01:56:24,177 --> 01:56:26,713
Trying to slow the pace down,
but when you got two to work with,

2079
01:56:26,779 --> 01:56:29,716
which you just can't go all out,
all night.

2080
01:56:29,782 --> 01:56:31,050
You gotta slow it down just a bit.

2081
01:56:31,117 --> 01:56:34,287
[Vic] To your point, this is her going
one-on-one right now with Jayne.

2082
01:56:34,354 --> 01:56:37,290
Nice neckbreaker.
This is her chance to wear down Jayne.

2083
01:56:37,357 --> 01:56:40,860
Jayne realizing that, and right now,
Jayne back on the offense,

2084
01:56:40,927 --> 01:56:43,963
it's giving Gigi Dolin a little extra time
on the outside.

2085
01:56:44,030 --> 01:56:47,300
[Booker] Jacy is no joke, man.
She's a rockstar.

2086
01:56:47,367 --> 01:56:51,037
Jacy wants to be champion.
She wants to be at the top of the heap.

2087
01:56:51,104 --> 01:56:55,341
You know, at the top of the card.
And to do that, what she gotta do?

2088
01:56:55,408 --> 01:56:59,579
She gotta beat Roxanne Perez
and she cannot do that with Gigi Dolin.

2089
01:56:59,645 --> 01:57:01,147
She needs to do it alone.

2090
01:57:01,214 --> 01:57:03,850
[Vic] Jayne was already talking
to the digital team about side plates

2091
01:57:03,916 --> 01:57:05,952
that she's gonna put
on the NXT Women's Championship

2092
01:57:06,018 --> 01:57:07,286
when she retains tonight.

2093
01:57:07,353 --> 01:57:08,988
You can't tell me
they're on the same page.

2094
01:57:09,055 --> 01:57:12,425
Into another cover,
into the count and one second away

2095
01:57:12,492 --> 01:57:15,361
from Jayne having those side plates.

2096
01:57:15,428 --> 01:57:17,196
[Booker] No.
This is exactly what I'm talking about.

2097
01:57:17,263 --> 01:57:20,833
You can have that feel-good thing,
you know, going in with confidence.

2098
01:57:20,900 --> 01:57:23,136
But when it comes down
to the championship, Vic,

2099
01:57:23,202 --> 01:57:25,772
when you walk in the room
and people go, "Hey, champ."

2100
01:57:25,838 --> 01:57:27,874
That makes you feel a certain way.

2101
01:57:27,940 --> 01:57:32,011
When you're a rockstar, you eat that,
and that's Jacy Jayne.

2102
01:57:32,478 --> 01:57:34,881
[Vic] Oh, Jayne dropping Perez.

2103
01:57:34,947 --> 01:57:38,418
It was Jayne who always said
she was tired of hearing about-- Uh-oh.

2104
01:57:38,484 --> 01:57:39,719
-[Booker] Oh.
-What's your problem?

2105
01:57:39,786 --> 01:57:42,455
You're just going to jump?
What are you doing?

2106
01:57:42,522 --> 01:57:46,526
-What are you doing?
-Look, we need to focus.

2107
01:57:46,592 --> 01:57:51,364
Work with me. Work with me. Thank you.

2108
01:57:52,365 --> 01:57:54,734
-Oh, my God.
-[Vic] They may be back on the same--

2109
01:57:54,801 --> 01:58:00,106
Oh, wait. Did Dolin just pull Jayne
in front of Perez?

2110
01:58:00,173 --> 01:58:03,309
[Booker] I don't know
if I saw that or not, Vic. I don't know.

2111
01:58:03,376 --> 01:58:05,745
I don't know if my eyes
are playing tricks on me or not,

2112
01:58:05,812 --> 01:58:07,947
but I said sooner later,
it might happen, but I'm not sure.

2113
01:58:08,014 --> 01:58:09,248
-[Vic] Oh!
-[Booker] Here we go.

2114
01:58:09,315 --> 01:58:13,753
[Vic] Right now, it is Gigi Dolin
becoming unhinged in this moment.

2115
01:58:13,820 --> 01:58:17,290
Much like we saw with Jacy Jayne,
she's taking full control

2116
01:58:17,356 --> 01:58:20,993
of her solo opportunity
here in this matchup.

2117
01:58:21,060 --> 01:58:23,262
-It's-- Oh!
-[audience gasping]

2118
01:58:23,329 --> 01:58:25,031
[Booker] Now you'll believe me, right?

2119
01:58:25,098 --> 01:58:29,368
You're finally going to wise up
and start following my lead.

2120
01:58:29,435 --> 01:58:32,105
-I told you this was gonna happen.
-[screaming]

2121
01:58:33,106 --> 01:58:35,508
[Vic] Now judge this for yourself, Book.

2122
01:58:35,575 --> 01:58:38,778
Judge it, what did you see?
Did you see what I saw?

2123
01:58:39,712 --> 01:58:43,449
Dolin pulling Jayne? Come on.
Those cracks are forming.

2124
01:58:43,516 --> 01:58:46,119
[Booker] I can tell you this.
It looked that way.

2125
01:58:46,185 --> 01:58:49,088
I told you that some form,

2126
01:58:49,155 --> 01:58:52,258
somewhere in this matchup,
it was gonna happen.

2127
01:58:52,325 --> 01:58:55,728
Gigi and Jacy, it had to break down.
It's about the money, man.

2128
01:58:55,795 --> 01:58:58,731
-[Vic] Oh!
-[Booker] It's about getting paid Vic.

2129
01:58:58,798 --> 01:59:01,767
[Vic] Stepping right through.
Is Dolin hard landing for Perez?

2130
01:59:01,834 --> 01:59:06,472
[Booker] If these young ladies don't know,
it's about checks and championship.

2131
01:59:06,539 --> 01:59:08,407
If they don't know that,
I can't help that.

2132
01:59:08,474 --> 01:59:12,478
[Vic] Dolin could be closing in
on her first reign as NXT Women's Champion

2133
01:59:12,545 --> 01:59:13,946
into the cover.

2134
01:59:14,013 --> 01:59:15,882
-No, no.
-[audience clamoring]

2135
01:59:15,948 --> 01:59:17,183
[Booker] Keep moving.

2136
01:59:17,250 --> 01:59:20,753
[Vic] Jayne saying the same thing
to Dolin.

2137
01:59:20,820 --> 01:59:23,623
Now, she goes in the cover.
Dolin not gonna like that.

2138
01:59:23,689 --> 01:59:26,225
[audience whooping]

2139
01:59:26,292 --> 01:59:28,961
[Vic] Apparently, it's not all for one,
one for all.

2140
01:59:29,028 --> 01:59:34,500
[audience clamoring and cheering]

2141
01:59:37,336 --> 01:59:41,040
[audience jeering and booing]

2142
01:59:46,879 --> 01:59:49,348
[audience cheering]

2143
01:59:52,518 --> 01:59:54,487
[audience booing]

2144
01:59:54,554 --> 01:59:56,522
[audience cheering]

2145
01:59:56,589 --> 01:59:58,658
[audience booing]

2146
01:59:59,725 --> 02:00:03,162
-[audience cheering]
-[Vic laughing]

2147
02:00:06,465 --> 02:00:09,302
[indistinct chattering]

2148
02:00:09,769 --> 02:00:14,674
[Vic] Finally now, take a look, Book,
you called it, you sensed it, here it is,

2149
02:00:14,740 --> 02:00:15,942
Jayne and Dolin, and remember--

2150
02:00:16,008 --> 02:00:18,945
Into the cover, into of the cover,
Perez doesn't need to be factored

2151
02:00:19,011 --> 02:00:22,582
in the decision to lose
the NXT women's title here tonight.

2152
02:00:22,648 --> 02:00:25,585
[Booker] Yes, indeed, that's something
these ladies need to understand.

2153
02:00:25,651 --> 02:00:28,588
-[Vic] There's the champ.
-[Booker] It's about winning tonight, Vic,

2154
02:00:28,654 --> 02:00:32,959
we can talk about it later,
but tonight, somebody's gotta win.

2155
02:00:33,025 --> 02:00:34,327
[Vic] Oh, this is that moment,

2156
02:00:34,393 --> 02:00:37,830
this is the stage for Roxanne Perez
that she dreamed of

2157
02:00:37,897 --> 02:00:42,168
when she used to take that greyhound
in Houston to your school, Book.

2158
02:00:42,235 --> 02:00:47,139
[Booker] Like I said, 16-year-old kid
who has grown up to be a grown woman now,

2159
02:00:47,206 --> 02:00:50,242
Vic, she's the NXT Women's Champion,

2160
02:00:50,309 --> 02:00:52,945
that right there says a lot,
that says a lot.

2161
02:00:53,012 --> 02:00:57,149
[Vic] Perez now, first into Dolin,
now into Jayne,

2162
02:00:57,216 --> 02:01:00,319
she saw that crack forming,
she's starting to exploit it,

2163
02:01:00,386 --> 02:01:04,156
and maybe now we have
the traditional Triple Threat Match,

2164
02:01:04,223 --> 02:01:06,592
where it will be every woman
for themselves.

2165
02:01:06,659 --> 02:01:10,129
Oh, nice counter
and now a little combination,

2166
02:01:10,196 --> 02:01:12,198
Russian legsweep DDT.

2167
02:01:12,264 --> 02:01:14,900
-[Booker] Oh.
-[Vic] Dolin doesn't know where she's at,

2168
02:01:14,967 --> 02:01:16,702
into the cover to retain--

2169
02:01:16,769 --> 02:01:20,806
And able to kick out and wisely
Perez into another cover to retain,

2170
02:01:20,873 --> 02:01:23,976
-another kick out by Dolin this time.
-[Booker] Those moments, Vic,

2171
02:01:24,043 --> 02:01:26,879
these little championship moments
that make you who you are

2172
02:01:26,946 --> 02:01:29,915
and that's what Roxanne Perez
is going through right now.

2173
02:01:29,982 --> 02:01:33,619
How bad does she want it? How bad, Vic?

2174
02:01:33,686 --> 02:01:39,725
[audience chanting] Roxy!

2175
02:01:39,792 --> 02:01:41,193
[Vic] NXT Universe here in Charlotte,

2176
02:01:41,260 --> 02:01:45,398
no doubt who they're behind
in this matchup. Oh, Perez gets caught.

2177
02:01:46,532 --> 02:01:49,769
And now a little bit-- Oh, look at Jayne.

2178
02:01:49,835 --> 02:01:51,637
-This is wise offense…
-[Booker laughing]

2179
02:01:51,704 --> 02:01:53,639
[Vic] …she's the only one
standing right now.

2180
02:01:53,706 --> 02:01:56,275
-[Booker] Like I say, Jacy Jayne, man--
-[Vic] Said she's a rockstar.

2181
02:01:56,342 --> 02:01:58,978
[Booker] She's a rockstar,
man, she's a rockstar.

2182
02:01:59,045 --> 02:02:05,518
[Vic] Beats to her own drum does Jayne,
and Jayne now looking at the field

2183
02:02:05,584 --> 02:02:09,221
she wants the championship,
she can taste it, she can sense it,

2184
02:02:09,288 --> 02:02:13,559
she could be moments away
from her moment here in NXT.

2185
02:02:13,626 --> 02:02:16,996
After being called a third wheel,
she could be front and center--

2186
02:02:17,063 --> 02:02:19,732
Oh! --in the NXT women's division.

2187
02:02:19,799 --> 02:02:24,470
What a knee, into the cover,
and Dolin able to break it up.

2188
02:02:24,537 --> 02:02:26,439
-[Booker] Just a minute.
-[Vic] I've seen that knee before

2189
02:02:26,505 --> 02:02:31,977
win some Women's Championships
and it almost came through for Jacy Jayne,

2190
02:02:32,044 --> 02:02:35,748
but now again we see butting heads,
Toxic Attraction.

2191
02:02:35,815 --> 02:02:39,251
[Booker] Don't think it's not in the mind
of Jacy being called a third wheel,

2192
02:02:39,318 --> 02:02:41,954
don't think she's not thinking
about that right now

2193
02:02:42,021 --> 02:02:45,791
and say, "Now, I'm fit to move up
the ladder to first place

2194
02:02:45,858 --> 02:02:50,930
here tonight in this matchup."
Here we go, Vic, a fight just broke out.

2195
02:02:50,996 --> 02:02:53,065
[audience cheering]

2196
02:02:53,833 --> 02:02:54,700
[Booker] Wow.

2197
02:02:54,767 --> 02:02:57,970
[Vic] Jayne getting the better
on that exchange.

2198
02:02:58,037 --> 02:03:02,508
[Booker]
Hello. A little bit of salt to go with it.

2199
02:03:02,575 --> 02:03:05,177
[Vic] Right now, look at Perez,
Perez trying to reach up, inside cradle,

2200
02:03:05,244 --> 02:03:07,313
-inside cradle, Book.
-[Booker] Wow.

2201
02:03:07,380 --> 02:03:10,449
[Vic] Jayne just able to get out quickly,
no wasted time,

2202
02:03:10,516 --> 02:03:12,151
crucifix pin doesn't work either.

2203
02:03:12,218 --> 02:03:14,086
[Booker] There's that playbook
coming into play right now,

2204
02:03:14,153 --> 02:03:17,022
the IQ of this young lady is unbelievable.

2205
02:03:17,089 --> 02:03:18,457
[Vic] Then again,
when you talk about Perez,

2206
02:03:18,524 --> 02:03:21,460
you talk about Jayne in this moment,
there's only two superstars in the ring,

2207
02:03:21,527 --> 02:03:24,964
you know just how difficult it is
to win this sort of matchup.

2208
02:03:26,198 --> 02:03:28,734
[Booker] You gotta go all after it,
you gotta let it all hang out

2209
02:03:28,801 --> 02:03:32,772
going for that big shot one more time--
She got caught, got caught sleeping.

2210
02:03:32,838 --> 02:03:37,510
[Vic] Now looking for Pop Rocks
and Dolin right in,

2211
02:03:37,576 --> 02:03:40,980
and Dolin right back in,
nice kick to the side of the face.

2212
02:03:41,046 --> 02:03:44,950
And for the first time tonight,
Dolin taking out both superstars.

2213
02:03:45,017 --> 02:03:46,786
Suplex, bridge, and--

2214
02:03:46,852 --> 02:03:51,290
Oh, senton saves things
for all three superstars

2215
02:03:51,357 --> 02:03:56,495
as Dolin a half second away from
crowning herself NXT Women's Champion.

2216
02:03:56,562 --> 02:03:58,664
[Booker] I'm talking
to go back to what I said earlier,

2217
02:03:58,731 --> 02:04:00,232
Vic, who wants it the most?

2218
02:04:00,299 --> 02:04:05,237
Gigi is definitely fighting hard,
Jacy is in the fight and my girl, Roxy.

2219
02:04:05,304 --> 02:04:07,640
[Vic] It's all about
the NXT Women's Championship

2220
02:04:07,706 --> 02:04:11,577
here at the Spectrum Center
in Charlotte, North Carolina.

a little here, right here, Vic.

2224
02:04:28,527 --> 02:04:31,397
[Vic] They certainly are,
but all three of these women right now

2225
02:04:31,464 --> 02:04:35,134
showing you what it means to them
to be champion.

[audience cheering and whistling]

2227
02:04:36,669 --> 02:04:40,406
Dolin, Jayne, the champion, Perez,

2228
02:04:40,473 --> 02:04:43,542
who has been fighting off both members
of Toxic Attraction.

2229
02:04:43,609 --> 02:04:48,280
[Booker] Doing a hell of a job, Vic,
doing one hell of a job this young lady.

2230
02:04:48,347 --> 02:04:50,649
[Vic] Can she finish the job
which started out

2231
02:04:50,716 --> 02:04:52,785
as a glorified handicap match?

2232
02:04:52,852 --> 02:04:56,021
[Vic] Oh, no,
it might have just turned back in now.

2233

2234
02:04:57,256 --> 02:05:01,794
[Vic] Oh, headbutt, Dolin into the cover,
does Jayne have a cover?

2235
02:05:01,861 --> 02:05:06,265
Oh, I think Perez just had to kick out
of two superstars.

2236
02:05:06,332 --> 02:05:07,933
[Booker] Wow, that was that double pin

2237
02:05:08,000 --> 02:05:11,570
that was always thought
could happen by these two young ladies.

2238
02:05:12,872 --> 02:05:16,008
[Vic] That certainly was a moment here
and almost took our breath away,

2239
02:05:16,075 --> 02:05:18,244
we didn't think we'd see any situation
here tonight.

2240
02:05:18,310 --> 02:05:20,246
-[Booker] At least not like that.
-[Vic] That Perez would have to kick out

2241
02:05:20,312 --> 02:05:24,550
of two pinning predicaments.

2242
02:05:24,617 --> 02:05:27,119
[Booker] Like I said, I thought
she'd be double teamed, but not like that.

2243
02:05:27,186 --> 02:05:33,526
[Vic] Wait a minute, is the sisterhood
back on between these two?

2244
02:05:33,592 --> 02:05:37,463
-Are they back on the same page?
-Jacy, get the table.

2245
02:05:37,530 --> 02:05:40,432
-[Booker] Oh…
-[audience cheering]

2246
02:05:40,499 --> 02:05:44,837
[Booker] …here we go, Vic,
did I hear what I thought I heard?

2247
02:05:44,904 --> 02:05:49,141
-Yes, get the table.
-[Vic] For Toxic Attraction,

2248
02:05:49,208 --> 02:05:54,179
obviously, they had to know
they would have to divide and conquer,

2249
02:05:54,246 --> 02:05:56,849
they weathered
that emotional storm themselves.

2250

it's all legal.

2253
02:06:03,789 --> 02:06:05,090
-There's no disqualifications.
-[Booker] No.

2254
02:06:05,157 --> 02:06:08,460
[Vic] Toxic Attraction can do
whatever they want to, to Roxanne Perez,

2255
02:06:08,527 --> 02:06:11,363
and I'm having flashbacks to NXT
just a few weeks ago.

2256
02:06:11,430 --> 02:06:14,900
[Booker] Wow,
Roxanne's in a lotta trouble right now.

2257
02:06:14,967 --> 02:06:18,571
She needs to fight and needs to fight hard
to get out this situation.

-[Vic] Dolin might be wiped out.
-[Booker] One down.

2262
02:06:28,747 --> 02:06:31,283
[Vic] But you gotta win inside the ring,
pinfalls, submission

2263
02:06:31,350 --> 02:06:34,853
has to take place inside the ring
and Perez knows that.

2264

Perez back to her feet.
When we talk about divide and conquer,

2265
02:06:37,723 --> 02:06:40,559
it looks like Roxanne Perez
has divided Toxic Attraction

2266
02:06:40,626 --> 02:06:43,729
and she is now conquering
both these superstars.

2267

she's not going to quit.

2268

-[Booker] Whoa, wow.

because-- Oh, no, no, not for Perez,

through this table here in front of us?

02:11:09,127 --> 02:11:11,697
[Grayson] He can't control his emotions.
He can't control his anger.

2340
02:11:11,763 --> 02:11:14,533
[Booker] Bron Breakker's bad.
Bron Breakker is on fire.

2341
02:11:14,600 --> 02:11:17,236
[Vic] The locker room
can't even keep these two separated.

2342
02:11:17,302 --> 02:11:19,538
No one has taken advantage of it
like I have.

2343
02:11:19,605 --> 02:11:23,242
[Vic] Holy shit.
Book, this is unbelievable.

2344
02:11:23,308 --> 02:11:25,677
I'm living rent-free in your head, Bron.

2345
02:11:25,744 --> 02:11:30,649
[Vic] That sinister arrogant smile
is on the face of Grayson Waller.

2346
02:11:30,716 --> 02:11:33,252
[Bron]
My temper has led to my biggest victories

2347
02:11:33,318 --> 02:11:34,820
and my most crushing defeats.

2348
02:11:34,887 --> 02:11:39,191
[Grayson] I don't have to beat
Bron Breakker is going to beat himself.

2349
02:11:39,658 --> 02:11:43,161
I should learn to control it.
Then it dawned on me.

2350
02:11:44,229 --> 02:11:49,001
When that door closes and the lock clicks,

2351
02:11:49,067 --> 02:11:51,370
I don't have to control it anymore.

2352
02:11:52,938 --> 02:11:57,976
[Bron] I'll beat Waller within an inch
of his life and pin what's left of him.

2353
02:11:58,043 --> 02:12:00,746
[Grayson]
Bron, I know everything you going to do.

2354
02:12:00,812 --> 02:12:04,182
You're like a textbook on Reddit
and I'll pass the test.

2355
02:12:04,249 --> 02:12:06,018
[Bron] Waller's pushed my last button.

2356
02:12:06,084 --> 02:12:09,187
I don't wanna just beat you,
I wanna embarrass you. I wanna hurt you.

2357
02:12:09,254 --> 02:12:13,091
[Bron] He's going to regret it
when I break him inside the steel.

2358
02:12:13,158 --> 02:12:16,061
[Grayson] The last time
that I was locked in a steel cage.

2359
02:12:16,128 --> 02:12:19,164
-[Vic] Oh, from the top.
-[Grayson] Your boy went viral.

2360
02:12:19,231 --> 02:12:23,602
Just think what am I gonna do now
when everything's on the line.

2361
02:12:23,669 --> 02:12:28,707
When I deliver the biggest viral moment
in NXT history, I become NXT Champion.

2362
02:12:28,774 --> 02:12:34,813
[Bron] Waller, this is what you wanted,
but this will be my vengeance day.

The following is a Steel Cage match

2379
02:13:38,377 --> 02:13:42,114
for the NXT Championship.

2380
02:13:42,180 --> 02:13:46,051
The only way to win the match
is by pinfall or submission.

2381
02:13:46,118 --> 02:13:51,556
Introducing first the challenger,
Grayson Waller.

2382
02:13:52,124 --> 02:13:55,494
[Vic] Oh, there you see the golden shoe

2383
02:13:55,560 --> 02:13:58,263
that Grayson Waller said
he'll celebrate with tonight,

2384
02:13:58,330 --> 02:14:03,735
a celebration, he said, that many
great Australian champions have done it.

2385
02:14:03,802 --> 02:14:09,374
I think maybe now…
maybe it's starting to set in for Waller,

2386
02:14:09,441 --> 02:14:12,878
maybe he shouldn't be worrying
about popping champagne bottles,

2387
02:14:12,944 --> 02:14:16,048
maybe not worrying about a golden shoe
to drink out of.

2388
02:14:16,114 --> 02:14:19,084
Maybe he should be worried about
not going viral,

2389
02:14:19,151 --> 02:14:21,520
be worried about the man
who's about to come down the ring,

2390
02:14:21,586 --> 02:14:27,092
Bron Breakker who literally wants to break
Grayson Waller limb by limb.

2391
02:14:27,159 --> 02:14:28,794
[Booker] You say all of that, Vic.

2392
02:14:28,860 --> 02:14:32,998
This guy reminds me of Colby Covington
in the UFC, you hate the guy.

2393
02:14:33,065 --> 02:14:35,667
You don't like anything about him,
but he's capable,

2394
02:14:35,734 --> 02:14:39,171
you know he can win at any given moment.

2395
02:14:39,237 --> 02:14:43,708
That's what this kid, Grayson Waller,
has been all about, man.

2396
02:14:43,775 --> 02:14:45,343
[Vic] You see Waller looking around,

2397
02:14:45,410 --> 02:14:47,379
maybe biting off a bit
more than he can chew

2398
02:14:47,446 --> 02:14:49,448
because there is no escape.

2399
02:14:49,514 --> 02:14:52,384
You cannot win the title
by escaping the cage.

2400
02:14:52,451 --> 02:14:55,287
You have to win by pinfall or submission

2401
02:14:55,353 --> 02:14:58,190
and typically a cage is designed
to keep others from interfering

2402
02:14:58,256 --> 02:15:01,893
or not allowing another superstar
to interfere,

2403
02:15:01,960 --> 02:15:04,362
designed to leave no excuses tonight.

2404
02:15:04,429 --> 02:15:08,800
The cage will contain these two
for a decisive winner.

2405
02:15:08,867 --> 02:15:12,137
-[Booker laughing] Yeah.
-[audience cheering]

2406
02:15:12,204 --> 02:15:15,440
[Booker] Yes, this man right here,
Bron Breakker,

2407
02:15:15,507 --> 02:15:18,043
the cage that now he can use

2408
02:15:18,110 --> 02:15:22,781
to his advantage in every way,
shape, form and fashion

2409
02:15:22,848 --> 02:15:25,617
and don't think he's not going to do that.

2410
02:15:25,684 --> 02:15:30,489
Some might say, Vic, Bron Breakker
needs to tone it down just a little bit,

2411
02:15:30,555 --> 02:15:33,125
but I say
Bron Breakker needs to pump it up.

2412

["Fear No Evil" playing]

2413

Bron Breakker.

2416

[Vic] Let's call it like it his, Book.

2417
02:15:47,572 --> 02:15:49,608
We talk about
not being able to escape the cage,

2418
02:15:49,674 --> 02:15:52,844
how does that change the game
here tonight for these two?

2419
02:15:52,911 --> 02:15:58,083
[Booker] No. It tells me that everything
Bron Breakker has been wanting to do

2420
02:15:58,150 --> 02:16:01,953
for these last
perhaps three to four weeks,

2421
02:16:02,020 --> 02:16:06,591
and that's going in and break something,
go in there and destroy something

2422
02:16:06,658 --> 02:16:10,061
he's going to have a cage
to help him out with all that.

2423
02:16:10,128 --> 02:16:15,066
-But, Vic-- Wow.
-[Vic] Hold on a second.

one step ahead of Breakker.

-[Booker] Mind games.
-[Vic] Yeah, you just said it.

2427
02:16:24,175 --> 02:16:25,377
-Mind games.
-[Booker] Mind games.

and he was gonna beat Breakker tonight

in front of all these people.

2431
02:16:35,554 --> 02:16:38,323

patiently for this.

-Woo.
-[audience laughing]

2433
02:16:41,226 --> 02:16:43,395
[Vic] Look at that, Bron remembering
what happened a few weeks ago

2434
02:16:43,461 --> 02:16:47,299
when he went through the barricade
in Orlando, not tonight here in Charlotte.

2435
02:16:47,365 --> 02:16:53,071
[Booker] Different deal, Vic.
Bron Breakker is right in his element.

2436
02:16:53,138 --> 02:16:58,109
He's at home in his environment right here
and you've got to love that.

2437
02:16:58,176 --> 02:17:02,180
[Vic] Grayson isn't gonna love it now.
Bron Breakker here firmly in control.

2438
02:17:02,247 --> 02:17:05,216
These two still haven't even entered
the cage yet,

2439
02:17:05,283 --> 02:17:08,720
but, as you mentioned earlier to me,
that cage is a weapon.

2440
02:17:08,787 --> 02:17:09,854
[Booker] You bet, man.

a lick, you big enough to take one."

this thing kicked off right now.

2443
02:17:17,963 --> 02:17:20,298
Let's do it. Let's spin this up, Vic.

2444
02:17:20,365 --> 02:17:23,234

entering in.

[Vic] With the NXT Champion,
and now look at Waller running,

2452
02:17:38,617 --> 02:17:41,786
and again Waller can't win the title
by climbing over the top rope.

2453
02:17:41,853 --> 02:17:45,090
All he's trying to do is get away.
He's scared, Book.

2454
02:17:45,156 --> 02:17:47,826
-He's scared of Breakker.
-[Booker] I won't say that.

2455
02:17:47,892 --> 02:17:50,729
-I won't say that about this kid.
-[Vic] What's he doing in running away?

2456
02:17:50,795 --> 02:17:52,764
[Booker] Sometimes,
that's what you gotta do in a fight.

2457
02:17:52,831 --> 02:17:54,599
You gotta do what you gotta do
to stay in the fight,

2458
02:17:54,666 --> 02:17:57,769
and right now
that's what this kid, Waller, is doing.

2459
02:17:57,836 --> 02:17:59,871
Look at him right now.
Right back in the game.

2460
02:17:59,938 --> 02:18:01,973
That was a strategy, Vic.

2461
02:18:02,040 --> 02:18:04,509
[Vic] We'll see how that strategy
works out throughout the matchup.

2462
02:18:04,576 --> 02:18:06,845
I do wanna get a legitimate answer
outta you, Book.

2463
02:18:06,911 --> 02:18:10,415
How does one prepare for a cage match

2464
02:18:10,482 --> 02:18:14,119
as we're finally officially underway
in this NXT Championship matchup?

2465
02:18:14,185 --> 02:18:18,757
[Booker] Come on, this is where you go
into that self-interrogation mode.

2466
02:18:18,823 --> 02:18:23,328
[Vic] Oh, look at this. Oh!
A little Steiner line from Bron tonight.

2467
02:18:23,395 --> 02:18:26,097
[Booker] Start asking yourself
those questions, am I ready to do this?

2468
02:18:26,164 --> 02:18:27,265
Oh, yes, I'm ready.

2469
02:18:27,332 --> 02:18:29,701
[Vic] The dogs are out in full effect
here in Charlotte.

2470
02:18:29,768 --> 02:18:33,004
And just like that, Breakker can change
the complexion of the matchup.

2471
02:18:33,071 --> 02:18:35,273
He's got the speed, he's got the power.

2472
02:18:35,340 --> 02:18:38,610
And now, looking to even showcase
more of an impact

2473
02:18:38,677 --> 02:18:42,747
here inside the steel cage,
making Waller think about it.

2474
02:18:42,814 --> 02:18:47,519
And while he holds Waller, Bron Breakker,
I'm sure is smiling deep down inside.

2475
02:18:47,585 --> 02:18:50,622
[Booker] Let me tell you something,
watching it at home is one thing,

2476
02:18:50,689 --> 02:18:52,257
but the quickness and the explosiveness

2477
02:18:52,324 --> 02:18:56,061
of this man right here,
Bron Breakker, is unbelievable.

2478
02:18:56,127 --> 02:18:58,363
[Vic] Nice moonsault, didn't get all,
certainly got enough of it.

2479
02:18:58,430 --> 02:19:01,533
We do have to bring this--
Still gotta bring this up.

2480
02:19:02,067 --> 02:19:03,835
Before we do that, here's the speed.

2481
02:19:03,902 --> 02:19:07,706
Here's the power of Bron Breakker,
champion here in NXT.

2482
02:19:07,772 --> 02:19:11,576
Bron's never defended the title
under these circumstances before.

2483
02:19:11,643 --> 02:19:14,312
This is new ground for Bron Breakker,
so to speak.

2484
02:19:14,379 --> 02:19:17,482
[Booker] Vic, this is when champions shine
under the bright lights of…

2485
02:19:17,549 --> 02:19:19,651
-[Vic] Oh, what a right hand.
-[Booker] …thousands of people.

2486
02:19:19,718 --> 02:19:22,120
Because that's what they want,
they want that moment.

2487
02:19:22,187 --> 02:19:23,855
We're on the road to WrestleMania.

2488
02:19:23,922 --> 02:19:27,625
[Vic] We are, but after that right hand,
Waller realized it didn't even faze Bron,

2489
02:19:27,692 --> 02:19:30,929
a second one just stun the NXT Champion.

2490
02:19:30,995 --> 02:19:35,100
And Waller right in, Waller right around,
and planting with a DDT.

2491
02:19:35,166 --> 02:19:37,602
Breakker, cover, the count,
champion's stunned,

2492
02:19:37,669 --> 02:19:39,104
but able to kick out at one.

2493
02:19:39,170 --> 02:19:41,806
[Booker] Let me tell you something,
when you hit Breakker with a shot,

2494
02:19:41,873 --> 02:19:44,409
you wanna follow up
and you wanna follow up quick

2495
02:19:44,476 --> 02:19:48,947
just like this, right here
with that DDT. Beautiful.

2496
02:19:50,115 --> 02:19:50,949
[grunting]

2497
02:19:51,015 --> 02:19:53,184
[Vic] Waller now measuring the champion.

2498
02:19:53,251 --> 02:19:55,353
-[Waller barks]
-[audience laughing]

2499
02:19:55,420 --> 02:19:58,690
[Vic] Funny how Waller now decides
to mock Bron Breakker.

2500
02:19:58,757 --> 02:20:01,226
-Didn't look like it was--
-[Booker] He's like a Chihuahua,

2501
02:20:01,292 --> 02:20:06,364
you know what I mean, more than a pit bull
or a boxer or something like that.

2502
02:20:06,431 --> 02:20:10,635
[Vic] Waller has called the champion out
for having empty threats,

2503
02:20:10,702 --> 02:20:15,206
but somehow, some way has had an uncanny
ability to stay ahead of Breakker.

2504
02:20:15,273 --> 02:20:17,575
One step, two steps for weeks.

2505
02:20:17,642 --> 02:20:19,611
As he's a step ahead of Breakker
here again.

2506
02:20:19,677 --> 02:20:22,046
Into the cover,
and another kick out at one by Breakker,

2507
02:20:22,113 --> 02:20:23,414
and now look at Waller.

2508
02:20:23,481 --> 02:20:25,350
[indistinct chatter]

2509
02:20:25,817 --> 02:20:28,553
[Booker] Grayson Waller
is looking for one of those viral moments

2510
02:20:28,620 --> 02:20:30,388
here tonight in this matchup.

2511
02:20:30,455 --> 02:20:33,591
And so one thing that worry me
about this kid, Grayson Waller,

2512
02:20:33,658 --> 02:20:36,628
is another guy, Dolph Ziggler.
A guy that wanted to steal the show.

2513
02:20:36,694 --> 02:20:40,765
I wonder what his career could have been
if he didn't think that way.

2514
02:20:40,832 --> 02:20:42,967
-It's the same thing I think--
-[Vic] Dolph Ziggler won world titles.

2515
02:20:43,034 --> 02:20:44,536
-[Booker] But he could've…
-[Vic] He won Money in the Bank.

2516
02:20:44,602 --> 02:20:48,139
[Booker] …won several. He could've won
many more. That's what I'm talking about.

2517
02:20:48,206 --> 02:20:51,142
[Vic] So, you think Waller's too focused
on those viral moments?

2518
02:20:51,209 --> 02:20:53,511
-That outside stuff?
-[Booker] Exactly what I'm talking about.

2519
02:20:53,578 --> 02:20:55,547
That's the one thing
that could hinder this kid.

2520
02:20:55,613 --> 02:20:59,717
It could literally put him in that mode
where everything could just go haywire.

2521
02:20:59,784 --> 02:21:02,020
-Here we go.
-[Vic] Got caught,

2522
02:21:02,086 --> 02:21:05,089
and now a belly to belly from Bron.

2523
02:21:05,156 --> 02:21:07,625
[Booker] I thought he was going
over the top there for a second.

2524
02:21:07,692 --> 02:21:10,128
[Vic] That was a nice job by Waller.
Almost shifting his weight a bit.

2525
02:21:10,195 --> 02:21:12,597
Making Breakker have to shift game plan.

2526
02:21:12,664 --> 02:21:14,699
As now Breakker again
picking up some speed,

2527
02:21:14,766 --> 02:21:16,801
and this time catching and dropping.

2528
02:21:16,868 --> 02:21:20,672
[Booker chuckling]
Shades of that Dog-Faced Gremlin,

2529
02:21:20,738 --> 02:21:23,541
Rick Steiner right there.
I've seen that move before.

2530
02:21:23,608 --> 02:21:25,810
I've felt that move before right there.

2531
02:21:25,877 --> 02:21:29,214
[Vic] Bron Breakker approaching 370 days
as NXT Champion

2532
02:21:29,280 --> 02:21:32,984
across two different reigns
with a bulldog.

2533
02:21:33,551 --> 02:21:39,457
Only two men, Book, have spent more time
as champion in NXT than Bron Breakker.

2534
02:21:39,524 --> 02:21:41,626
Shows you how special Bron Breakker is.

2535
02:21:41,693 --> 02:21:44,529
I think Bron just said,
"It's time to wrap up."

2536
02:21:44,596 --> 02:21:48,066
[Booker] Textbook right there
that bulldog off the top right there, Vic.

2537
02:21:48,132 --> 02:21:51,369
-[Booker] Textbook.
-[Vic] There's nowhere to go, Grayson.

2538
02:21:51,436 --> 02:21:53,171
You're in a steel cage.

2539
02:21:53,238 --> 02:21:55,139
[audience booing]

2540
02:21:55,607 --> 02:21:57,442
[Vic] Oh, no.

2541
02:21:57,509 --> 02:22:01,312
[audience clamoring]

2542
02:22:01,379 --> 02:22:03,381
[Vic] The champion
head and shoulder first,

2543
02:22:03,448 --> 02:22:06,684
now Waller into the cover quickly
to become champion,

2544
02:22:06,751 --> 02:22:08,520
and a kick out by Breakker.

2545
02:22:08,586 --> 02:22:12,891
But Waller again one step ahead,
and I ask you this. Bam.

2546
02:22:12,957 --> 02:22:14,759
-Did he bait the champion in?
-[Booker] I think he did.

2547
02:22:14,826 --> 02:22:19,430
Bron fell for it right there.
That was the old bait and switch.

2548
02:22:19,497 --> 02:22:20,598
Pulled it off perfectly too.

2549
02:22:20,665 --> 02:22:23,268
[Vic] Look, Grayson Waller's gonna have
no problem hook or crook.

2550
02:22:23,334 --> 02:22:25,036
He'll steal this championship.

2551
02:22:25,103 --> 02:22:28,306
He'd do whatever it takes
to become champion here tonight.

2552
02:22:28,373 --> 02:22:32,544
He's got no problem cutting corners
does Grayson Waller.

2553
02:22:34,879 --> 02:22:37,916
Waller now measuring Bron.
And again, Bron just--

2554
02:22:37,982 --> 02:22:41,352
We saw the speed of Bron in this matchup,
we saw the power of Bron Breakker.

2555
02:22:41,419 --> 02:22:44,322
Did you see the force
in which he hit that steel cage?

2556
02:22:44,389 --> 02:22:46,658
Did you see that?
Bron's on dream street right now.

2557
02:22:46,724 --> 02:22:50,562
[Booker] Bron Breakker, like I said,
might want to turn it down

2558
02:22:50,628 --> 02:22:52,397
-and I wanted him to pump it up.
-[Vic] Oh.

2559
02:22:52,463 --> 02:22:53,965
[Booker] That was the wrong time
to pump it up

2560
02:22:54,032 --> 02:22:57,368
because right now Grayson Waller
is in total control of this matchup.

2561
02:22:57,435 --> 02:22:59,037
[Vic] Again, Waller realizing it.
Into the cover,

2562
02:22:59,103 --> 02:23:01,639
another hook of the leg,
and another kick out by the champion.

2563
02:23:01,706 --> 02:23:05,944
Look, this steel cage rips flesh.
It will bruise egos.

2564
02:23:06,010 --> 02:23:09,981
A tremendous toll will be taken
on both these superstars here tonight,

2565
02:23:10,048 --> 02:23:12,450
but look at Waller right now
with pinpoint precision

2566
02:23:12,517 --> 02:23:16,387
-going right at Bron Breakker.
-[Booker] Talking about egos, Vic.

2567
02:23:16,454 --> 02:23:19,958
I'm going to tell you right now.
If Waller wins this match tonight,

2568
02:23:20,024 --> 02:23:25,763
can you imagine how big this guy's head
is going to be just like that? Oh, my God.

2569
02:23:25,830 --> 02:23:27,165
[Vic] Think about how we started
this matchup.

2570
02:23:27,231 --> 02:23:31,736
He brought this golden shoe out here.
He already had champagne popping.

2571
02:23:31,803 --> 02:23:34,606
-[Booker] Don't forget about the ladies.
-[Vic] That's what you're thinking,

2572
02:23:34,672 --> 02:23:39,277
but I'm thinking about the matchup now.
Now, it's Waller looking to fly. Oh!

2573
02:23:39,344 --> 02:23:43,414
Again tasting that steel is Breakker.

2574
02:23:43,481 --> 02:23:47,819
When steel meets flesh,
steel is undefeated. One more time now.

2575
02:23:47,885 --> 02:23:50,989
Waller with the champion
in his sights, and-- Uh-uh…

2576
02:23:51,456 --> 02:23:56,928
Breakker trying to hoist up Waller,
and right to the eyes.

2577
02:23:56,995 --> 02:23:58,763
-[Booker] Beautiful.
-[Vic] Again, as we mentioned,

2578
02:23:58,830 --> 02:24:02,567
Waller not going to be afraid
to cut any corners in this match.

2579
02:24:02,634 --> 02:24:04,869
I've just looked up from my monitor here
from the table.

2580
02:24:04,936 --> 02:24:07,572
The welts are starting to form
on the back.

2581
02:24:07,639 --> 02:24:10,575
Boom, and that certainly was unpretty,

2582
02:24:10,642 --> 02:24:12,677
but will it be pretty enough
to bring home the gold?

2583
02:24:12,744 --> 02:24:15,179
Breakker again able to get
that left shoulder up.

2584
02:24:15,246 --> 02:24:21,753
Beautiful move right there. Just rode Bron
like surfboard to the mat. Wow.

2585
02:24:23,254 --> 02:24:25,490
[Vic] Take another look
at the innovative offense

2586
02:24:25,556 --> 02:24:29,127
-by the challenger to win this match.
-[Booker] Wow. What do we call that, Vic?

2587
02:24:29,193 --> 02:24:31,796
-[Vic] You can call it whatever you want.
-[Booker] Surfboard.

2588
02:24:31,863 --> 02:24:33,164
-[Vic] Call it what?
-[Booker] Surfboard.

2589
02:24:33,231 --> 02:24:34,565
[Vic] I'll let you write that one down.

2590
02:24:34,632 --> 02:24:37,969
You can use it every single week,
'cause Waller right now could be cruising,

2591
02:24:38,036 --> 02:24:41,105
-could be surfing to the NXT Championship.
-[Booker] There it is.

2592
02:24:41,172 --> 02:24:44,976
[Vic] As you start to hear
the NXT Universe here in Charlotte.

2593
02:24:45,677 --> 02:24:49,380
[Booker] Like I said,
this kid is very capable. He's crafty.

2594
02:24:49,947 --> 02:24:53,017
He's one of those guys that you may think
you got one up on him

2595
02:24:53,084 --> 02:24:56,854
and he turns it around just like that.
That's Grayson Waller.

2596
02:24:57,588 --> 02:25:00,358
[Vic] There you see Breakker
almost trying to get back to his feet

2597
02:25:00,425 --> 02:25:02,760
to get back into it somehow, some way,

2598
02:25:02,827 --> 02:25:04,862
but Waller able to fend him off
one more time.

2599
02:25:04,929 --> 02:25:08,666
Again, it's important to remember.
Wait a minute. Breakker charging in.

2600
02:25:08,733 --> 02:25:11,369
A little Frankensteiner this time.
Is that going to be enough?

2601
02:25:11,436 --> 02:25:13,538
Breakker the champion into the cover,
the count,

2602
02:25:13,604 --> 02:25:17,341
and Waller again
got that left shoulder up.

2603
02:25:17,408 --> 02:25:19,544
[Booker] Talk about pulling out
all the stops right there.

2604
02:25:19,610 --> 02:25:23,314
Bron Breakker went up top right there
with that Frankensteiner a bit different.

2605
02:25:23,381 --> 02:25:28,186
Add a little salt to it, a little
Cholula green on that right there, baby.

2606
02:25:28,252 --> 02:25:31,889
[Vic] That adrenaline pumping right now
in Bron is slowing things down yet again.

2607
02:25:31,956 --> 02:25:33,357
It's important to remember too.

2608
02:25:33,424 --> 02:25:35,560
The last time
these two were in a cage together,

2609
02:25:35,626 --> 02:25:38,162
they were teammates
representing a new era.

2610
02:25:38,229 --> 02:25:40,598
And how times have change
because the winner tonight,

2611
02:25:40,665 --> 02:25:43,634
let's not forget,
leads this brand into Los Angeles,

2612
02:25:43,701 --> 02:25:46,604
leads this brand
into WrestleMania Saturday

2613
02:25:46,671 --> 02:25:47,872
at Stand & Deliver.

2614
02:25:47,939 --> 02:25:53,311
That's the knockout blow possibly,
but Waller realizing he needs to fly.

2615
02:25:53,377 --> 02:25:57,582
He needs that exclamation point.
Off the top, pinpoint precision.

2616
02:25:57,648 --> 02:25:59,817
-[Booker] Right to the heart.
-[Vic] Into the cover for the title,

2617
02:25:59,884 --> 02:26:04,255
and Breakker again.
Again defiant as champion.

2618
02:26:04,322 --> 02:26:06,591
[Booker] Let me tell you something.
You see this guy, Grayson Waller,

2619
02:26:06,657 --> 02:26:09,393
you're thinking he's outta the game.
He's playing possum, Vic.

2620
02:26:09,460 --> 02:26:13,531
-He's playing possum. Right there.
-[Vic] First it was to knee Bron Breakker.

2621
02:26:13,598 --> 02:26:17,268
And then to add to it,
Grayson Waller with some airtime.

2622
02:26:17,335 --> 02:26:21,139
A little bit higher than a lot of hornets
have gotten here in the Spectrum Center.

2623
02:26:21,205 --> 02:26:24,375
Delivers that elbow,
but Bron Breakker able to kick out.

2624
02:26:24,442 --> 02:26:26,310
-[Booker] You had to go there, didn't you?
-[Vic] What?

2625
02:26:26,377 --> 02:26:27,945
-[Booker] You had to go there.
-[Vic] So what?

2626
02:26:28,012 --> 02:26:31,249
[Booker] Keep it going. Right now,
this man right here, Bron Breakker,

2627
02:26:31,315 --> 02:26:32,650
he's a certain pedigree.

2628
02:26:32,717 --> 02:26:37,555
He has fight all over his DNA,
Vic, so he's not gonna quit.

2629
02:26:37,622 --> 02:26:40,525
-[Vic] What's going on?
-[Referee] What the hell, man? Come on.

2630
02:26:40,591 --> 02:26:42,527
-[Vic] It's all legal.
-[groaning]

2631
02:26:42,593 --> 02:26:44,695
[Booker] Exactly.
What are you talking about?

2632
02:26:44,762 --> 02:26:46,464
[Vic] I thought Waller wanted to win this.

2633
02:26:46,531 --> 02:26:48,332
We heard Grayson Waller
talking about wanting to--

2634
02:26:48,399 --> 02:26:54,005
[Booker] Waller wants to punish Breakker.
This is about showing Bron Breakker.

2635
02:26:54,071 --> 02:26:59,644
It's not about being all brawn. Okay?
It's about being all brain sometimes,

2636
02:26:59,710 --> 02:27:03,447
and that's what Waller is here tonight,
Vic, at Vengeance Day,

2637
02:27:03,514 --> 02:27:05,082
he wants this championship.

2638
02:27:05,149 --> 02:27:09,520
He wants to go home tonight
and new NXT champ.

2639
02:27:09,587 --> 02:27:13,090
[Vic] All Waller cares about is himself.
He doesn't care about this brand.

2640
02:27:13,157 --> 02:27:15,426
-[Booker] What are you gonna think about?
-[Vic] He's not the one like Breakker

2641
02:27:15,493 --> 02:27:19,831
who's taken this brand across the nation.
Look at Breakker, that's a champion.

2642
02:27:19,897 --> 02:27:23,868
That's a champion we can be proud of.
Not Waller who only thinks about himself,

2643
02:27:23,935 --> 02:27:26,637
and we could be closing in
on the Waller era.

2644
02:27:26,704 --> 02:27:28,906
[Booker] I'm not saying
that I'm not proud of Breakker.

2645
02:27:28,973 --> 02:27:30,007
Of course, I'm proud of him,

2646
02:27:30,074 --> 02:27:33,110
but this business is about
going out there and winning.

2647
02:27:36,314 --> 02:27:37,281
[Vic] Uh-oh.

2648
02:27:37,348 --> 02:27:40,952
And Bron, we talk about
the defiant champion

2649
02:27:41,018 --> 02:27:44,789
who's put this brand on his back
since day one.

2650
02:27:45,256 --> 02:27:47,491
Overcoming, overpowering.

2651
02:27:47,558 --> 02:27:50,695
[audience imitating barking]

2652
02:27:50,761 --> 02:27:53,364
[Vic] And Waller just realizing…

2653
02:27:53,431 --> 02:27:58,869
And again, Waller trying to run to create
some distance, to create some separation,

2654
02:27:58,936 --> 02:28:01,105
but Bron Breakker gonna have none of that.

2655
02:28:01,172 --> 02:28:02,907
[Booker chuckling]
Let me tell you something.

2656
02:28:02,974 --> 02:28:04,175
[Vic] Breakker returning the favor.

2657
02:28:04,242 --> 02:28:06,577
[Booker]
The look in the eyes of Breakker says,

2658
02:28:06,644 --> 02:28:10,281
"I'm tired of playing from this point on,
no jiving, no playing around.

2659
02:28:10,348 --> 02:28:11,782
I'm going to finish this."

2660
02:28:13,217 --> 02:28:19,023
[Vic] Breakker now. How sweet it must feel
after all these weeks for Bron.

2661
02:28:19,090 --> 02:28:23,294
-[Booker] Wow. Wow.
-[Vic] Pinballing Waller around.

2662

[audience cheering]

2663

[audience imitating barking]

2664
02:28:30,935 --> 02:28:36,040
[Vic] Just take a look at the pure power
on display by Bron Breakker.

2665
02:28:36,107 --> 02:28:38,643
You think about everything
Breakker has overcome in this match.

2666
02:28:38,709 --> 02:28:41,612
As now his eyes are set on Waller.
Charging in.

2667
02:28:41,679 --> 02:28:48,386
Oh, Waller's able to outsmart Breakker
for the moment. A low blow.

2668
02:28:48,452 --> 02:28:49,754
[Booker] In the crown jewels.

2669
02:28:49,820 --> 02:28:54,959
[Vic] And we said he'd not be afraid
to cut corners. A Stunner to boot.

2670
02:28:55,026 --> 02:28:56,861
-[Booker] It's legal, Vic.
-[Vic] Into the damn cover.

2671
02:28:56,928 --> 02:28:58,663
-[Booker] What are you saying?
-[Vic] Breakker kicked out.

2672
02:28:58,729 --> 02:29:01,732
[Booker] It's legal. Wow. Wow.

2673
02:29:04,001 --> 02:29:08,673
[Vic] Unreal.
Somehow, Breakker was able to kick out,

2674
02:29:08,739 --> 02:29:12,243
and you take a look at Charlotte now.
You take a look at the NXT Championship

2675
02:29:12,310 --> 02:29:15,012
for both these superstars,
this match a defining moment.

2676
02:29:15,079 --> 02:29:18,883
When a defining moment comes along,
you either define that moment

2677
02:29:18,949 --> 02:29:23,287
or that moment's going to define you.
This is about the NXT title.

2678
02:29:23,354 --> 02:29:26,223
Champion, challenger, Breakker, Waller.

2679
02:29:26,290 --> 02:29:28,793
[Booker] That's what I love about
those moments, Vic. They could be there,

2680
02:29:28,859 --> 02:29:31,929
-they could be gone just like that.
-You can't blame me, how tough it is.

2681
02:29:35,132 --> 02:29:38,102
-[Vic] Did you hear what Waller said?
-[audience chanting]

2682
02:29:38,169 --> 02:29:41,505
[Vic] What is going through Waller's mind?

2683

[audience chanting]
Let's go, Waller! Waller sucks!

2684

[audience chanting]
Let's go, Waller. Waller sucks!

2685
02:29:51,349 --> 02:29:53,050
[Vic] Book, you talk about
those viral moments.

2686
02:29:53,117 --> 02:29:56,687
-Taking his eyes off the ball.
-[Booker] I think I know, Vic.

2687
02:29:56,754 --> 02:29:59,156
I think I know what this is.
This is that--

2688
02:29:59,223 --> 02:30:02,159
-[Vic] What's he care more about, Book?
-[Booker] That viral moment, Vic.

[audience cheering]

2690
02:30:03,194 --> 02:30:04,829

2695
02:30:19,377 --> 02:30:20,978
[Vic] Boy, here's your viral moment.

2696
02:30:21,045 --> 02:30:24,348
There's nowhere for Waller to go,
nowhere for him to run.

2697
02:30:24,415 --> 02:30:28,119
He can't get out of the cage.
You can't win the title, Grayson.

2698
02:30:28,185 --> 02:30:30,287
You can't win the gold.
You gotta do it in the ring.

2699
02:30:30,354 --> 02:30:33,724
[Booker] You know what, Vic?
I think he'll get a viral moment.

2700
02:30:33,791 --> 02:30:36,861
[Vic] He'll get that viral moment.
-[Booker] He'll get that viral moment.

2702

2707
02:30:49,640 --> 02:30:52,676
[Booker] Vic, that superplex looked like
it all knocked the wind

2708
02:30:52,743 --> 02:30:55,112
right out of Grayson Waller's body.

2709
02:30:55,179 --> 02:30:58,582
[Vic] But you hear NXT
bringing it to Bron Breakker.

2710

[audience cheering]

2711
02:31:01,118 --> 02:31:02,820
-[screaming]
-[Vic] This is what Breakker wanted.

2712
02:31:03,754 --> 02:31:06,791
This is the moment
Bron's been waiting for.

2713
02:31:06,857 --> 02:31:08,959
But go for the cover.

2714
02:31:10,094 --> 02:31:12,063
Bro-- Bron has it.

2715
02:31:15,466 --> 02:31:17,368
-[Vic] Book.
-[Booker] It's bigger than that, Vic.

2716
02:31:17,435 --> 02:31:20,337
-It's bigger than you and I'd ever know.
-[Vic] Waller can't even get to his feet.

2717
02:31:20,404 --> 02:31:22,640
-[Booker] Vic, it's bigger than that.
-[Vic] Waller can't stand up.

2718
02:31:22,706 --> 02:31:24,642
[Booker] This is personal at this point.

2719
02:31:24,708 --> 02:31:26,477
[audience clamoring]

2720
02:31:26,544 --> 02:31:31,782
Look at me. Look at me.
You want to talk trash now? Huh?

2721
02:31:32,349 --> 02:31:35,686
You want to talk trash
on social media to me now? Huh?

2722
02:31:36,287 --> 02:31:41,859
This is my dog pound. I run NXT.

[audience imitating barking]

2725
02:31:51,268 --> 02:31:56,640
[Vic] Waller defiant in the end.
As, bam, he just gets destroyed

2726
02:31:56,707 --> 02:32:00,711
by Bron Breakker, who retains his title.

2727
02:32:00,778 --> 02:32:02,513
["Fear No Evil" playing]

2728
02:32:02,580 --> 02:32:09,186
[Alicia] Here is your winner
and still the NXT Champion,

2729
02:32:09,253 --> 02:32:12,323
Bron Breakker.

2730
02:32:12,790 --> 02:32:16,827
-[Booker] Wow.
-[Vic] You can say that again, Book.

2731
02:32:18,028 --> 02:32:22,533
Grayson Waller brought his best.

2732
02:32:23,601 --> 02:32:25,069
But in the end…

2733
02:32:27,471 --> 02:32:29,974
you gotta wonder
what was going through Waller's mind

2734
02:32:30,040 --> 02:32:36,180
because Bron Breakker came here
with one thing on his, to win, to retain.

2735
02:32:37,715 --> 02:32:38,849
Let's return to some of the action.

2736
02:32:38,916 --> 02:32:42,353
This is that viral moment
Waller was looking for, as you said it,

2737
02:32:42,419 --> 02:32:45,789
certainly got one
with that huge superplex.

2738
02:32:45,856 --> 02:32:49,693
And then Bron Breakker would hit
this devastating Spear,

2739
02:32:49,760 --> 02:32:51,362
but then this would happen.

[audience] Oh!

2745
02:33:02,706 --> 02:33:08,179
[Vic] Grayson Waller would no longer
be one step ahead of Bron Breakker,

2746
02:33:08,245 --> 02:33:11,815
who, bam, delivered
one of the damnedest spears

2747
02:33:11,882 --> 02:33:17,988
we've seen Breakker deliver
here in NXT to retain his championship.

While Bron said he came to Charlotte
to destroy, conquer and retain,

2754

did we just witness possibly
the next roadblock for our champion
