[Booker] Vic, when you're young

things like that just happen.
It's part of the business.

or anything like that.

-[Booker] What are you talking about?

-[Vic] He doesn't listen to any…
-Let me tell you.

[Vic] Again, just continuing to mock
those who have helped him.

If you know 99% about something,
you keep your mouth shut.

00:03:59,839 --> 00:04:02,875
If you're 100%, you speak up.
100% of the time.

Grayson Waller felt wronged being locked
in that steel cage with Bron Breakker.

77
00:04:07,513 --> 00:04:11,084
That animal. Bron Breakker.
Trust me, I would feel the same way.

[Vic] Whatever math you wanna use,
at the end of the day

79
00:04:13,820 --> 00:04:16,022
the answer is he's an ass.
That's what Grayson Waller is.

80
00:04:16,089 --> 00:04:18,925
We've seen it time and time again.
I ask you this, Book.

81
00:04:18,992 --> 00:04:20,293
Should the punishment been harsh?

82
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:22,895
-Wait a minute, do you have to go there?
-[Vic] Yes, because that's what he is.

under the jaw. Into the cover.

Think about everything he did.

Disrespectful, yelling at coaches.

87
00:04:32,939 --> 00:04:35,475
He deserves a lot more than just this.
Bam.

88
00:04:35,541 --> 00:04:36,809
[Booker] Beautiful action right there.

89
00:04:36,876 --> 00:04:40,913
Crisp, precise right there
from this kid, Tyler Bate.

we talk about prestige.

teaming with Roxanne Perez
in a huge main event?

93
00:04:50,556 --> 00:04:54,694
-Cover by Waller, and a kick out by Bate.
-[Booker] Almost got there. Close, Vic.

94
00:04:54,761 --> 00:04:59,098

should the punishment been harsher

95
00:04:59,165 --> 00:05:02,702
for Grayson Waller following
what transpired against Bron Breakker

96
00:05:02,769 --> 00:05:06,773
who does return here tonight on NXT
in that post-medium scrum in Charlotte

97
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:09,475
-following Vengeance Day?
-[Booker] I'm a forgiving man.

98
00:05:09,542 --> 00:05:11,944
It's not about making those mistakes,

99
00:05:12,011 --> 00:05:14,480
but it's about learning
from those mistakes.

100
00:05:14,547 --> 00:05:16,816
I'm sure Grayson Waller
learned from that mistake,

101
00:05:16,883 --> 00:05:19,419
as far as running
to the office of Shawn Michaels.

102
00:05:19,485 --> 00:05:22,322
-Take care of your business inside…
-[Vic] He was just yelling at Shawn.

103
00:05:22,388 --> 00:05:25,792
[Booker] Like I said, yelling,
that's barking, like a dog barking.

104
00:05:25,858 --> 00:05:28,861
He ain't going no bite
or anything like that. Come on, Vic.

105
00:05:28,928 --> 00:05:31,564
You ever been in a fight before?
You do a lot of talking sometimes.

106
00:05:31,631 --> 00:05:33,199
Sometimes you just do a lot of talking.

107
00:05:33,266 --> 00:05:35,335

Let's go, Waller, Waller sucks!

108
00:05:35,401 --> 00:05:37,804
[Vic] Into the cover goes Waller.
I'm not going to answer that, Book.

109
00:05:37,870 --> 00:05:41,541
It's Valentine's Day. I'm a lover,
not a fighter. As we focus back in.

110
00:05:41,607 --> 00:05:43,810
You know what, let's talk
about that loss to Bron Breakker.

111
00:05:43,876 --> 00:05:48,147
I get Grayson Waller is a little salty,
he lost, but move on. Move on.

112
00:05:48,214 --> 00:05:51,684
There's no reason to go out
and start yelling and making excuses.

113
00:05:51,751 --> 00:05:52,752
This is your boy.

114
00:05:52,819 --> 00:05:56,389
[Booker] Sometimes you gotta make
a lot of noise to get some attention.

115
00:05:56,456 --> 00:06:00,960
The squeaky wheel always gets the grease,
the oil, Vic.

116
00:06:01,027 --> 00:06:04,330
So to speak. Right now,
that's what Grayson Waller is looking for.

117
00:06:04,397 --> 00:06:07,700
Oh. This kid, Tyler Bate,

Let's look at Tyler Bate.
Someone who stands up for what's right.

121
00:06:17,810 --> 00:06:20,880
Maybe Grayson Waller
should be more like Tyler Bate.

122
00:06:20,947 --> 00:06:22,648
-[Booker] Come on, Vic.
-[Vic] You talk about championships.

123
00:06:22,715 --> 00:06:24,450
-Tyler Bate has won them.
-[Booker] Come on.

124
00:06:24,517 --> 00:06:26,886
-I like Tyler Bate. I like this kid.
-[Vic] NXT UK Champion twice.

125
00:06:26,953 --> 00:06:29,288
NXT Tag Team Champion,
Heritage Cup Champion.

126
00:06:29,355 --> 00:06:31,524
-He's put gold around his waist.
-I like this kid, Tyler Bate.

127
00:06:31,591 --> 00:06:34,994
He's someone that a mother
would want her daughter to marry,

128
00:06:35,061 --> 00:06:37,029
but this is a business, Vic.

129
00:06:37,096 --> 00:06:38,164
This is about attitudes,

130
00:06:38,231 --> 00:06:41,234
attitudes is necessary in this business
to make it to the top,

131
00:06:41,300 --> 00:06:45,505
to make it to that next level,
to make it to WrestleMania, baby.

132
00:06:45,571 --> 00:06:48,508
That's what all these young guys
aspire to be.

133
00:06:48,574 --> 00:06:49,842
[Vic] I can't argue with you on that.

134
00:06:49,909 --> 00:06:53,112
This is spilling right out here
almost in front of us.

Come on, man. Come on. Come on, man.

137
00:06:57,417 --> 00:06:59,252
[Vic] Yes, I don't see you
talking for him now.

138
00:06:59,318 --> 00:07:01,621
He tried to pull you in harm's way.

139
00:07:01,687 --> 00:07:04,357
-And Bate… Whoa!
-[Booker] Yes.

for the last several minutes.
Even going back right here. Take a look.

148

-Boom!
-[Booker] Oh, wow.

149
00:07:35,555 --> 00:07:39,125
[Vic] Now it'll change
the complexion of anyone in any moment

150
00:07:39,192 --> 00:07:40,893
and certainly right now for Tyler Bate.

151
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:43,095
He's trying to battle back
in this matchup.

152
00:07:43,162 --> 00:07:46,833
Trying to do anything he can
and is starting to feed off the love

153
00:07:46,899 --> 00:07:50,036
-and the energy from the NXT universe.
-[Booker] It's simple, Vic.

154
00:07:50,102 --> 00:07:53,873
I'm watching Grayson Waller,
his body language.

155
00:07:53,940 --> 00:07:57,343
Right now he's delivering a message,
that's what he's doing right there.

156
00:07:57,410 --> 00:07:59,879
He's delivering a message
to all those guys in the locker room.

157
00:07:59,946 --> 00:08:01,681
-They all notice right now, Vic.
-[Vic] Wait a minute.

158
00:08:01,747 --> 00:08:03,349
-[Booker] Oh, boy.
-[Vic] Bate went right through.

159
00:08:03,416 --> 00:08:07,086
Went for a little boing.
Got him with the clothesline did Bate.

00:08:08,754 --> 00:08:12,325
But so much has been taken out
of Tyler Bate in this matchup.

161
00:08:12,391 --> 00:08:16,729
[audience chanting] NXT!

162
00:08:16,796 --> 00:08:21,300
[Vic] If at first you don't succeed,
try, bam, one more time.

163
00:08:21,367 --> 00:08:24,303
And Tyler Bate, we talk about changing
the complexion of a matchup.

164
00:08:24,370 --> 00:08:26,806
Bate doing that right here in that moment.

165
00:08:26,873 --> 00:08:31,310
[Booker] I've said it, Vic, this kid
is very innovative with his offensive now.

166
00:08:31,377 --> 00:08:37,817
Grayson Waller, he's in a little trouble,
I hope his mouth hadn't got his behind

167
00:08:37,884 --> 00:08:41,120
-in something he can't get out of.
-[Vic] Oh, shoulders down, shoulders down.

168
00:08:41,187 --> 00:08:42,521
-No, no. No.
-[Booker] Oh, yes.

169
00:08:42,588 --> 00:08:44,023
[Vic] He was able to kick out.
That's a great point.

170
00:08:44,090 --> 00:08:46,792
Maybe Grayson Waller
should be quiet for once.

171
00:08:46,859 --> 00:08:50,029
[Booker] My mama always said,
"If you're big enough to pass a lick,

172
00:08:50,096 --> 00:08:55,501
you're big enough to take one."
Right now, Tyler got this kid in a pickle.

173
00:08:55,568 --> 00:08:59,372
[audience cheering]

174
00:08:59,939 --> 00:09:01,707
-[Booker] A pickle.
-[Vic] I heard you.

175
00:09:01,774 --> 00:09:07,213
Round and round goes Waller.
And, bam. Gets dropped.

176
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,182
A little taken out of Bate too.
Finally able to get back in.

177
00:09:10,249 --> 00:09:15,187
-Cover, and… Oh.
-[Booker] Close. So close by Tyler Bate.

178
00:09:15,254 --> 00:09:16,822
[Vic] Bate almost able to put Waller away.

179
00:09:16,889 --> 00:09:19,158
[Booker] I like this kid, Tyler Bate.
If he just had some…

180
00:09:19,225 --> 00:09:20,793
Go ahead.
Vic, I know you got something to say.

181
00:09:20,860 --> 00:09:23,095
[Vic] I wanted to say,
when it comes to championships,

182
00:09:23,162 --> 00:09:24,163
as you talked about earlier,

183
00:09:24,230 --> 00:09:27,066
we have the big open challenge tonight
from Wes Lee.

184
00:09:27,133 --> 00:09:29,201
[Booker] Oh, yes.
I'm looking forward to it.

185
00:09:29,268 --> 00:09:31,938
Back to my point, this kid Tyler Bate.
I'm just looking

186
00:09:32,004 --> 00:09:36,576
if he can just get on a mean streak,
he'll go a long way in this business.

187
00:09:36,642 --> 00:09:38,878
He got soaked
in an abundance of talent, Vic.

188
00:09:38,945 --> 00:09:41,180
[Vic] Look at Waller now
turning things around.

189
00:09:41,247 --> 00:09:44,350
-Waller with Bate in his sights.
-[Booker] Oh. Goodnight.

190
00:09:44,417 --> 00:09:47,787
[Vic] A little unprettier. Into the cover.
Is this going to be enough?

191
00:09:47,853 --> 00:09:50,690
And Bate able to power through quickly.
But now, look at Waller.

192
00:09:50,756 --> 00:09:54,093
Right back on top. Raining down
right into the back of the neck.

193
00:09:54,160 --> 00:09:58,531
Shoots the half. Hooks the leg
one more time. Another near-fall.

194
00:09:58,598 --> 00:10:01,167
[Booker] Beautiful transition, though,
by this kid, Grayson Waller.

195
00:10:01,233 --> 00:10:03,336
Just let's you know he's been in the gym,

196
00:10:03,402 --> 00:10:06,372
he's been working on his craft,
working on his game.

197
00:10:06,439 --> 00:10:10,443
And that right there
is that secret sauce to success.

198
00:10:10,509 --> 00:10:17,016
[audience chanting]
Let's go, Waller, Waller sucks!

199
00:10:18,851 --> 00:10:21,988
-[Vic] Come on, Book. Don't say it.
-[Booker] Warming up the band.

200
00:10:22,054 --> 00:10:24,924
He's tuning up the band.
That's what he's doing right there.

201
00:10:24,991 --> 00:10:30,896
He's getting ready to hit that high note,
that octave, that one thing.

202
00:10:30,963 --> 00:10:37,436
[Vic] Oh, Bate caught. Bop and bang.
Oh, counter by Waller.

203
00:10:37,503 --> 00:10:41,273
Waller got banged one more time.
Boom! Superkick under the jaw.

204
00:10:42,575 --> 00:10:47,546
-Bate, cover, and somehow.
-[Booker] Wow! Wow, wow.

205
00:10:47,613 --> 00:10:50,549
Great awareness right there
by Grayson Waller.

206
00:10:50,616 --> 00:10:55,988
In the right place at the right time,
or perhaps the wrong time for Tyler Bate.

207
00:10:56,055 --> 00:10:59,959
[audience chanting] This is awesome!

208
00:11:00,426 --> 00:11:03,796
[Vic] Bate now trying to lock in
that Tyler Driver '97.

209
00:11:03,863 --> 00:11:06,265
Waller trying to fight.
Waller able to roll through.

210
00:11:06,332 --> 00:11:07,666
-Handful of tights.
-[Booker] Oh, yes.

211
00:11:07,733 --> 00:11:11,170
[Vic] Able to kick out is Bate.
Bate charging right back in.

212
00:11:12,605 --> 00:11:14,874
-Able to land on his feet. Waller.
-[Booker] Good balance.

213
00:11:14,940 --> 00:11:18,244
[Vic] Little bit of separation.
Going up, going up, going up.

214
00:11:18,310 --> 00:11:20,012
-Waller, nice counter.
-[Booker] He's caught.

215
00:11:20,079 --> 00:11:24,250
-[Vic] The ropes, yes.
-[Booker] Ref had the wherewithal there.

216
00:11:24,316 --> 00:11:26,886
-[Vic] Bate, got him.
-[Booker] Oh, no. There it is.

217
00:11:26,952 --> 00:11:28,387
[audience cheering]

218
00:11:28,454 --> 00:11:31,490
-I called it, Vic.
-[Alicia] Here's your winner, Tyler Bate.

219
00:11:31,557 --> 00:11:32,525
[Booker] Yes.

220
00:11:32,591 --> 00:11:37,096
[Vic] A Grayson Waller upset
that the official did his job.

221
00:11:37,163 --> 00:11:39,398
NXT officiating already proven

222
00:11:39,465 --> 00:11:42,134
they're better than the ones, Sunday,
in the big game.

223
00:11:42,201 --> 00:11:44,270
-[Booker] I called it, I called it.
-[Vic] You didn't call nothing.

224
00:11:44,336 --> 00:11:47,073
-[Booker] This kid, Tyler Bate…
-[Vic] Big strong boy standing tall.

225
00:11:47,139 --> 00:11:49,108
[Booker] I said it. I said this kid
was gonna come out here

226
00:11:49,175 --> 00:11:50,476
-to pull off a victory.
-[Vic] You didn't say nothing.

227
00:11:50,543 --> 00:11:53,879
[Booker] Probably the biggest victory
of his career. That's what I said.

228
00:11:53,946 --> 00:11:56,148
WWE [inaudible]. I predicted it.

229
00:11:56,215 --> 00:12:00,386
["Born Animal" playing]

230
00:12:00,453 --> 00:12:04,290
[audience chanting] Tyler!

231
00:12:04,957 --> 00:12:07,426
-Dude, I'm not saying that's…
-Valentine's Day, baby.

232
00:12:07,493 --> 00:12:09,728
-You nervous or what? How you feeling?
-I'm super nervous.

233
00:12:09,795 --> 00:12:12,665
Why? You like her, she likes you.
What's the problem?

234
00:12:12,732 --> 00:12:15,801
I've never… [grunting]

235
00:12:19,071 --> 00:12:22,808
-You've never… What? Spit it out.
-I've never…

236
00:12:23,576 --> 00:12:25,611
[grunting]

237
00:12:25,678 --> 00:12:27,012
-Oh.
-I've never…

238
00:12:27,947 --> 00:12:29,849
-Oh-ho!
-You got it. You see.

239
00:12:29,915 --> 00:12:31,684
It's all right, man. You're 22.

240
00:12:31,751 --> 00:12:35,221
There's plenty of 22-year-olds
that have never hit the homerun before.

241
00:12:38,624 --> 00:12:40,526
It's all right. It's all right.

242
00:12:42,461 --> 00:12:44,764
I've never been on base.

243
00:12:44,830 --> 00:12:48,634
-You've never kissed a woman before?
-Hey, hey. You want everybody to know?

244
00:12:48,701 --> 00:12:51,704
-Come on, I'm already nervous enough.
-There's nothing to be nervous about, man.

245
00:12:51,771 --> 00:12:55,574
-It's simple. 90-10, brother.
-What the hell is 90-10?

246
00:12:57,076 --> 00:13:03,616
You go 90% of the way, and then the woman
comes back 10% of the way.

247
00:13:04,183 --> 00:13:10,990
-Oh, she goes 90, I go 10?
-No. You got to go first, man.

248
00:13:11,056 --> 00:13:15,728
Look, it's simple. Look. All right.

249
00:13:17,062 --> 00:13:18,864
-What are you doing?
-We're doing it.

250
00:13:18,931 --> 00:13:22,234
Doing what? Briggs, I don't like this.

251
00:13:22,301 --> 00:13:24,103
-I'm going 90, Brooks.
-Don't.

252
00:13:26,172 --> 00:13:31,577
Go ten, go ten. That's seven and a half.
Go ten now.

253
00:13:31,644 --> 00:13:34,446
-Go ten.
-What the hell are you guys doing?

254
00:13:34,513 --> 00:13:38,851
Look, I was just showing Brooks
the 90-10 thing. It's cool.

255
00:13:39,819 --> 00:13:42,321
-Why?
-He's never kissed a woman before.

256
00:13:43,122 --> 00:13:45,457
That's another one. Let's go tell
the whole roster. How about that?

257
00:13:45,524 --> 00:13:51,497
Let's go screaming out the parking lot.
My life is just over. [chuckling]

258
00:13:51,564 --> 00:13:54,033
Brooks, I think that you should know that…

259
00:13:54,099 --> 00:13:58,003
Yes, I need to know.
This Valentine's Day has to be perfect.

260
00:13:58,070 --> 00:14:03,209
Kiana is the woman of my dreams.
I just need that kiss, Fallon. I need it.

261
00:14:03,275 --> 00:14:05,744
-It's all good. It's all right.
-Okay.

262
00:14:05,811 --> 00:14:10,849
Well, if it happens, which it might not,
when you walk Kiana to her door,

263
00:14:10,916 --> 00:14:13,485
if she plays with her keys,
that means she wants a kiss.

264
00:14:13,552 --> 00:14:16,455
-Really?
-So when that happens, you lean in.

265
00:14:16,522 --> 00:14:18,424
-90% of the way.
-And go for it.

266
00:14:19,391 --> 00:14:24,430
All right. I'm nervous, but I'm excited.
Any last advice?

267
00:14:25,164 --> 00:14:27,800
No. This is the night
you've been waiting for, buddy.

268
00:14:30,636 --> 00:14:32,671
-Fallon?
-Have fun.

269
00:14:32,738 --> 00:14:36,408
All right. Thank y'all.
You guys are the best. Oh.

270
00:14:36,475 --> 00:14:37,877
Good luck, Brooks.

271
00:14:37,943 --> 00:14:42,581
[Vic] I don't know anything about 90-10,
but I do know Jacy Jayne 100% on her…

272
00:14:44,416 --> 00:14:46,385
What? What's going on?

273
00:14:46,452 --> 00:14:48,587
-Get out right now!
-You're a stooge! I'm sick of you, Shawn!

274
00:14:48,654 --> 00:14:52,091
-You're a stooge! You're a stooge!
-You're out of control!

275
00:14:52,157 --> 00:14:53,859
-You're out of control!
-You're a stooge!

276
00:14:53,926 --> 00:14:58,697
Get him out of here!
Now. Get him out! Cut to break! Go!

277
00:15:04,236 --> 00:15:07,873
[Apollo Crews]Vengeance Day was my chance
to get one step closer.

278
00:15:09,174 --> 00:15:12,745
-[audience] One, two, three.
-[bell ringing]

279
00:15:12,811 --> 00:15:14,980
[soft music playing]

280
00:15:20,119 --> 00:15:27,092
Dabba-Kato, I felt that hug,
I saw that smile.

281
00:15:30,095 --> 00:15:32,464
Then, bam, out of nowhere
and everything goes dark.

282
00:15:33,866 --> 00:15:35,134

283
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:39,838
Why? No call, no text.

284
00:15:40,372 --> 00:15:43,742
Apollo Crews know what he did,
that's why I dropped his ass.

285
00:15:43,809 --> 00:15:45,878
I tuned in last week
to hear your reasons why,

286
00:15:45,944 --> 00:15:47,780
and all you gotta say
is I know what I did?

287
00:15:47,846 --> 00:15:53,319
What the hell does that even mean?
What we did was share the road together.

288
00:15:53,385 --> 00:15:55,654
What we did
was share major moments together.

289
00:15:55,721 --> 00:15:58,157
What we did
was share family time together.

290
00:15:58,223 --> 00:16:04,196
Dabba-Kato, you have your reasons
and now I have mine.

291
00:16:05,030 --> 00:16:08,233
I'm not focused on the future,
I'm not focused on the past.

292
00:16:08,300 --> 00:16:12,104
The only thing that I am focused on
is revenge.

293
00:16:15,541 --> 00:16:20,012
[Vic] Apollo Crews could be more dangerous
than ever.

294

-["One Of A Kind" playing]
-[audience booing]

295
00:16:28,954 --> 00:16:33,058
[Alicia] Please welcome, Jacy Jayne.

296
00:16:34,159 --> 00:16:36,161
-[Vic] Have you calmed down, Book?
-[Booker] I am, man.

297
00:16:36,228 --> 00:16:39,832
I've looked forward to tonight.
Come on, this is NXT, dawg.

298
00:16:39,898 --> 00:16:42,668
[Vic] I get that,
but you go on some tangents.

299
00:16:42,735 --> 00:16:46,271
[Booker] Why aren't you feeling?
We got Jacy Jayne coming out here tonight.

300
00:16:46,338 --> 00:16:52,678
Right now she's looking good and fire.
She's a rock star, baby.

301
00:16:52,745 --> 00:16:55,781
[Vic] She proved
she doesn't need Gigi Dolin anymore.

302
00:16:55,848 --> 00:17:00,586
As a matter of fact, martyring her
through the door last week in front of us

303
00:17:00,652 --> 00:17:04,890
alongside Bayley in a moment
that has had the NXT universe,

304
00:17:04,957 --> 00:17:06,892
has had the WWE universe,

305
00:17:06,959 --> 00:17:12,531
has had social media focused and talking
about one woman, that being Jacy Jayne.

306
00:17:12,598 --> 00:17:17,102
[Booker] Look, man. You rock it.
You rock it. It's a one-man ship.

307
00:17:17,636 --> 00:17:21,940
She ain't got time for no two-seaters,
baby. That's Jacy Jayne.

308
00:17:22,007 --> 00:17:26,211
Like I say, give her the mic,
give her the mic. She's a rock star.

309
00:17:26,278 --> 00:17:29,748
She wants to sing a little something,
what's up?

310
00:17:29,815 --> 00:17:33,886

her toxic behavior from a week ago.

312
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:45,931
Last week was the end
of the Toxic Attraction story,

313
00:17:45,998 --> 00:17:50,069
but the beginning of the Jacy Jayne story,

314
00:17:50,135 --> 00:17:55,374
and now it's all about me.

315
00:17:57,142 --> 00:18:00,079
And the proof is in the boot

316
00:18:00,145 --> 00:18:06,819
because for the last seven days,
I have been the talk of NXT.

317
00:18:06,885 --> 00:18:11,457
Not Roxanne Perez, Bron Breakker,
Carmelo Hayes,

318
00:18:11,523 --> 00:18:15,828
and damn sure not Gigi Dolin.

319
00:18:16,528 --> 00:18:21,266
The name on the tip of everyone's tongue

320
00:18:21,333 --> 00:18:24,236
is Jacy Jayne.

321
00:18:24,303 --> 00:18:30,676
Me! Me, me, me!

322
00:18:32,544 --> 00:18:36,014
And for those of you that keep asking

323
00:18:36,081 --> 00:18:41,053
if I regret stomping Gigi's skull in,

324
00:18:41,120 --> 00:18:44,356
the only thing I regret

325
00:18:44,423 --> 00:18:48,894
is that I didn't pull the trigger sooner.

326
00:18:49,928 --> 00:18:55,701
You see, I've already watched
the footage back a thousand times,

327
00:18:55,767 --> 00:18:59,404
but you know what's better
than a thousand times?

328
00:19:00,739 --> 00:19:03,675
A thousand and one. Let's see it again.

329
00:19:16,488 --> 00:19:17,589
[Jacy Jayne] Toxic.

330
00:19:17,656 --> 00:19:20,592
All eyes are on Jacy and I.

331
00:19:20,659 --> 00:19:24,196
Gigi and I will be the ones
calling all the shots.

332
00:19:24,263 --> 00:19:25,797
[Jacy] Well, the entire world watching…

333
00:19:25,864 --> 00:19:27,933
I have been carrying Gigi Dolin.

334
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,969
Jacy Jayne is a bad person.

335
00:19:31,036 --> 00:19:34,840
When I… When we become
the NXT Women's Champion.

336
00:19:34,907 --> 00:19:38,577
[Jacy] You wanna take down
our Toxic Empire?

337
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:51,690
It's never been about us!
It was always about me!

338
00:19:51,757 --> 00:19:53,559
[audience chanting] Jacy! Jacy!

339
00:19:53,625 --> 00:20:00,399
[dramatic music playing]

340
00:20:19,284 --> 00:20:23,055
[audience chanting] Jacy! Jacy!

341
00:20:23,121 --> 00:20:30,028
Oh, boo hoo. Oh.

342
00:20:31,063 --> 00:20:34,433
And if I have to hear one more,

343
00:20:34,499 --> 00:20:39,404
"Did you really have to kick her
that hard?"

344
00:20:39,471 --> 00:20:42,941
Yes. Yes, I did.

345
00:20:43,008 --> 00:20:47,179
Because all of you people wanna sit here

346
00:20:47,245 --> 00:20:51,049
and act like Gigi was the victim,

347
00:20:51,116 --> 00:20:54,019
but anyone who has two brain cells,

348
00:20:54,086 --> 00:21:00,192
which sadly eliminates every single person
in this building,

349
00:21:00,259 --> 00:21:05,297
understands that I'm the real victim here.

350
00:21:06,298 --> 00:21:10,469
Gigi, your days of doing half the work

351
00:21:10,535 --> 00:21:15,040
and taking all the credit are over.

352
00:21:15,607 --> 00:21:19,745
Sorry, Jannetty. I mean, Gigi.

353
00:21:19,811 --> 00:21:24,850
Everyone is going to see you
for who you truly are,

354
00:21:24,916 --> 00:21:31,757
because your security blanket, a.k.a. me,
is done protecting you.

355
00:21:31,823 --> 00:21:37,596
I'm no longer going to be taking care
of all of your mistakes.

356
00:21:38,497 --> 00:21:43,302
But Gigi, that's enough about her.
Nobody cares about Chucky, anyway.

357
00:21:44,736 --> 00:21:49,374
But I want every single person
in this building,

358
00:21:49,441 --> 00:21:52,611
everyone watching at home

359
00:21:52,678 --> 00:21:58,383
to listen very, very carefully
to what I have to say

360
00:21:58,450 --> 00:22:04,623
because this is gonna be the most
important thing I ever have to say.

361
00:22:07,225 --> 00:22:11,063
Screw you.

362
00:22:11,129 --> 00:22:16,835
Because for the last two years
ever since Toxic Attraction formed,

363
00:22:16,902 --> 00:22:20,706
you saw me as the one who didn't belong.

364
00:22:20,772 --> 00:22:25,877
You called me the third wheel
which one isn't like the rest.

365
00:22:25,944 --> 00:22:30,449
"Why is Jacy Jayne
even in this supergroup?"

366
00:22:30,515 --> 00:22:34,186
Well, that supergroup, Toxic Attraction,

367
00:22:34,252 --> 00:22:38,957
went on to become the most dominant
female faction

368
00:22:39,024 --> 00:22:41,793
in WWE history.

369
00:22:45,697 --> 00:22:51,403
And look who's the last woman standing.

370
00:22:52,370 --> 00:22:56,908
["One Of A Kind" playing]

371
00:22:56,975 --> 00:22:57,876
It's me.

372
00:22:57,943 --> 00:23:02,380
[Vic] Strong words tonight
from Jacy Jayne.

373
00:23:03,315 --> 00:23:07,719
I want to go to last night, Book,
because NXT Anonymous was all over,

374
00:23:07,786 --> 00:23:14,593
was able to catch Japanese legend,
Meiko Satomura, arriving here in the US,

375
00:23:14,659 --> 00:23:17,062
and take a look at who picked her up
from the airport,

376
00:23:17,129 --> 00:23:22,334
none other than the NXT Women's Champion,
Roxanne Perez,

377
00:23:22,400 --> 00:23:26,838
who'll face the former NXT
Tag Team Champions, Chance, Carter tonight

378
00:23:26,905 --> 00:23:30,876
in a huge tag team main event on NXT.

379
00:23:36,448 --> 00:23:37,682
-Thea…
-[gasps] Hi.

380
00:23:37,749 --> 00:23:39,785
Sorry, I'm a little bit jumpy still.

381
00:23:39,851 --> 00:23:43,088
Yeah, that's understandable.
You know whenever you're comfortable

382
00:23:43,155 --> 00:23:45,991
to tell us what happened with Schism,
we're here for you.

383
00:23:47,526 --> 00:23:49,227
Yeah, and we can get the match
with Tiffany Stratton

384
00:23:49,294 --> 00:23:51,163
pushed back to next week
to make sure that you're ready.

385
00:23:51,229 --> 00:23:53,732
No, no, no, I'm good. I'm good.
I can't back out.

386
00:23:53,799 --> 00:23:57,602
If I back out, then Schism wins,
and I can't let that happen.

387
00:23:57,669 --> 00:23:59,671
That's not Chase U.

388
00:23:59,738 --> 00:24:04,142
Tonight, I have to look fear
dead in the face and say,

389
00:24:04,209 --> 00:24:07,145
"Hi, fear. I'm Thea, and tonight,

390
00:24:07,212 --> 00:24:10,882
you'll get an Andre Chase University-sized
ass whooping."

391
00:24:10,949 --> 00:24:13,652
Yeah. I'm good. We're good. Yeah, okay.

392
00:24:14,319 --> 00:24:15,987
[Vic] Stratton, Hail, next.

393
00:24:16,054 --> 00:24:17,956
[audience chanting] Thea!

394
00:24:19,024 --> 00:24:20,692
[upbeat music playing]

395
00:24:20,759 --> 00:24:24,830
[Vic] One of the fastest-rising superstars
in all of NXT in action.

396
00:24:24,896 --> 00:24:29,601
I've been in NXT for less than a year
and I still dig going into practice daily.

397
00:24:29,668 --> 00:24:32,204
[Booker] What I like about Sol Ruca,
she's a true athlete

398
00:24:32,270 --> 00:24:35,106
and training won't be a problem with her.

399
00:24:35,173 --> 00:24:37,909
Being in the ring allows me to be creative
and be a free spirit,

400
00:24:37,976 --> 00:24:40,846
and that's who I am,
Sol Ruca, free spirit.

401
00:24:41,313 --> 00:24:44,916
I got that from my parents.
My parents instilled that freedom in me.

402
00:24:45,951 --> 00:24:49,387
You see, we had a deal
that if I could get a college scholarship,

403
00:24:49,454 --> 00:24:50,822
I'd be able to do whatever I wanted.

404
00:24:50,889 --> 00:24:53,258
When I was in high school,
and if I wanted to go to snowboarding

405
00:24:53,325 --> 00:24:56,127
or if I wanted to go to the beach,
I'd just text my mom and say,

406
00:24:56,194 --> 00:24:57,996
"Hey, can you get me out of class
real quick?"

407
00:24:58,063 --> 00:25:00,465
She'd say, "As long as your grades
are good, I'll get you out."

408
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,035
So I've tried a bunch of different things.

409
00:25:04,102 --> 00:25:06,738
I did gymnastics, snowboarding,
skateboarding,

410
00:25:06,805 --> 00:25:09,174
I learned how to play guitar,
I even picked up photography.

411
00:25:10,342 --> 00:25:13,078
I feel like everyone is so afraid
of making mistakes.

412
00:25:15,881 --> 00:25:17,916
But nobody's perfect at everything.

413
00:25:17,983 --> 00:25:20,252
[Vic] Looking for the Sol Snatcher.

414
00:25:20,318 --> 00:25:23,021
When I tried the Sol Snatcher
for the first time in practice,

415
00:25:23,088 --> 00:25:27,559
man, it sucked,
but I kept doing it every single day.

416
00:25:27,626 --> 00:25:30,495
-[Booker] That finisher.
-[Vic] Oh, Sol Snatcher!

417
00:25:30,562 --> 00:25:31,930
[Booker] My God.

418
00:25:31,997 --> 00:25:33,231
You can ask Zoey Stark…

419
00:25:33,298 --> 00:25:35,100
-[Booker] Whoa!
-[Vic] Oh!

420
00:25:35,166 --> 00:25:36,902
…just how good it is now.

421
00:25:37,469 --> 00:25:41,239
Yeah, Zoey beat me straight up,
but I want another match,

422
00:25:41,306 --> 00:25:47,646
because anytime that I fail,
I'm right back up ready to go.

423
00:25:51,316 --> 00:25:55,754
[Vic] Book, Stark, Ruca you can sign us up
any day of the week for that match.

424
00:25:55,820 --> 00:25:59,624
[Booker] Stars, baby. Stars.
Speaking of stars.

431
00:26:19,444 --> 00:26:23,949
Tiffany Stratton certainly embodies
the me attitude.

432
00:26:24,015 --> 00:26:26,217
[Booker] Yeah, you watch
the Super Bowl, huh?

433
00:26:26,284 --> 00:26:29,788
You watch Rihanna come by there,
"Shine bright like a diamond,"

434
00:26:29,854 --> 00:26:33,658
I think she even said, "Tiffany Stratton
shine bright like a diamond,"

435
00:26:33,725 --> 00:26:37,562
if I'm not mistaken. Did you hear that?
You heard it.

436
00:26:37,629 --> 00:26:41,866
[Vic] Book, I never want to hear you
doing Rihanna ever again

437
00:26:41,933 --> 00:26:43,535
as long as we're sitting
next to each other.

she may be running around,
she may be hyper,

449
00:27:18,103 --> 00:27:22,040
but last week she was frightened.
I have never seen someone so scared.

450
00:27:22,107 --> 00:27:26,011
I mean, even coming back out
was wearing the "This isn't pin."

obviously, we saw what had happened.

you saw Andre Chase say,

Maybe they're right. Are they right?

I don't like that, man.

with Tiffany Stratton?

You can't do that.
You failed that exam if you miss it.

is so that Schism can't win.

still in the forefront of her thoughts,

in her tracks,

and that momentary hesitation
didn't open the door.

It actually closed it.

I think I already know the answer,
you don't know because nobody does.

475
00:28:42,921 --> 00:28:47,492
[Booker] Joe Gacy, there's a method, man.
There's a method to all the madness.

476
00:28:47,559 --> 00:28:49,894
That's what the deal is,
I can tell you that.

477
00:28:50,528 --> 00:28:53,498
[Vic] Right back around,
Stratton now got caught.

478
00:28:53,565 --> 00:28:56,634
Of course, since Valentine's Day,
Stratton has been flaunting all the gifts

479
00:28:56,701 --> 00:29:01,873
she's received from her admirers.
There's Joe Gacy.

480
00:29:03,041 --> 00:29:05,744
-Look at Hail.
-Go away. Please go away.

481
00:29:06,578 --> 00:29:09,747
[Vic] Oh, another distraction.

482
00:29:09,814 --> 00:29:14,686
Did you see the look on Thea Hail's face?
Did you see the worry? She's scared.

483
00:29:14,753 --> 00:29:18,690
-Frightened.
-[Booker] Vic, I have no words.

484
00:29:18,756 --> 00:29:22,594
[Vic] Into the cover,
and I'm starting to look around now,

485
00:29:22,660 --> 00:29:24,429
Book, I can only imagine
what Thea Hail's feeling.

486
00:29:24,496 --> 00:29:25,497
[Booker] They're gone.

487
00:29:26,931 --> 00:29:29,934
[Vic] It's gotta be hard to focus
for Hail and Stratton

488
00:29:30,001 --> 00:29:32,370
trying to pick up the bones,
pick up the straps

489
00:29:32,437 --> 00:29:34,072
as Hail starting to fight one more time,

490
00:29:34,139 --> 00:29:36,774
but you gotta give credit to Thea Hail
on this match, Book.

491
00:29:36,841 --> 00:29:39,511
[Booker] I do. I give Thea Hail
a lot of credit trying to stay focused

492
00:29:39,577 --> 00:29:41,980
in a matchup like this
with Tiffany Stratton.

493
00:29:42,046 --> 00:29:45,150
Right now,
Tiffany Stratton is looking real good.

494
00:29:45,216 --> 00:29:49,120
-Maybe that…
-[Vic] Wow.

495
00:29:49,187 --> 00:29:54,092
Awkward landing, but got enough…
No, she did not. Hail able to kick out.

496
00:29:54,159 --> 00:29:58,263
Look, Stratton was insulting last week,
not only to Thea Hail,

497
00:29:58,329 --> 00:30:00,064
but to the entire women's locker room.

498
00:30:00,131 --> 00:30:02,534
That's been the MO
of someone like Tiffany.

499
00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:05,136
She's sticking to her scouting report.
She's just plain rude.

500
00:30:05,203 --> 00:30:08,540
[Booker] Look, Tiffany Stratton,
she don't do this for the money, man.

501
00:30:08,606 --> 00:30:12,577
This is just a hobby,
but a hobby that she's perfected.

502
00:30:12,644 --> 00:30:15,013
Oh, wait a minute. Here we go.

503
00:30:15,980 --> 00:30:21,152
[Vic] Hail focused and right out
in front of us, wiping out Stratton.

504
00:30:21,219 --> 00:30:22,320
-[Booker] Wow.
-[Vic] Look,

505
00:30:22,387 --> 00:30:26,391
Thea's doing what you talked about,
blocking out all the noise,

506
00:30:26,457 --> 00:30:30,195
blocking out… Ava.

507
00:30:30,261 --> 00:30:34,933
[audience chanting]

508
00:30:34,999 --> 00:30:39,070
[Vic] Book, this is getting uncomfortable
even for us sitting here right now

509
00:30:39,137 --> 00:30:42,407
as Hail rolling through.
Shoulders down, near-fall.

510
00:30:43,841 --> 00:30:46,845
But you could see Hail
right here from our desk looking up,

511
00:30:46,911 --> 00:30:51,516
and taking her eyes off.
Stratton, yet again in this matchup.

512
00:30:51,583 --> 00:30:54,953
As hard as we said it'd be to focus
for Thea Hail.

513
00:30:55,019 --> 00:30:59,791
It's Tiffany Stratton right now
trying to put the finishing touches

514
00:30:59,858 --> 00:31:03,761
-on this matchup with one final cast.
-[Booker] Wow, beautiful.

515
00:31:04,896 --> 00:31:07,265
-[Vic] Call it whatever you want, Book.
-One, two, three!

516
00:31:07,332 --> 00:31:09,667
-Stratton victorious.
-[bell ringing]

[Alicia] Here is your winner,
Tiffany Stratton.

519
00:31:15,640 --> 00:31:18,076
[Vic] I take nothing away
from what Tiffany just accomplished,

520
00:31:18,142 --> 00:31:21,145
a huge victory tonight.
And you see some of the action.

521
00:31:21,212 --> 00:31:25,250
Just this moonsault effortlessly
from Tiffany Stratton.

522
00:31:25,316 --> 00:31:30,955
Up and down, but the real story to me,
Book, is as I'm looking up right here

523
00:31:31,022 --> 00:31:34,058
is Thea Hail
and what is going on in her mind.

524
00:31:34,125 --> 00:31:40,098
As Stratton was victorious, but Thea Hail
still scared, shocked, and frightened.

525

-Ladies, ladies. Specifically Tatum.
-Oh.

Today's a very special day,
and it only comes around just once a year.

I'm about to give you a big special
once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.

Tatum Paxley, will you be my "Javytine"?

Um, Javy, thank you, but I'm taken.

532

Taken? [chuckles] Your loss.

533
00:32:15,867 --> 00:32:19,370
Ivy, today's a very special day.
It only comes around just once…

534
00:32:19,437 --> 00:32:24,409
Javy, save it.
I would love to be your Javytine.

535
00:32:25,410 --> 00:32:28,046

00:32:33,584 --> 00:32:38,189
How ironic, you've been chained
to the ring to protect Tatum,

539
00:32:38,256 --> 00:32:42,260
but you don't want to be chained
to Tatum Paxley.

540
00:32:42,327 --> 00:32:47,565
[chuckles] Tatum, I can sense,
I can feel you realize

541
00:32:47,632 --> 00:32:50,435
you're being weighed down by Ivy,

542
00:32:50,501 --> 00:32:55,807
oh, but I guess it's safer to be in chains
than to stand on your own.

-I'm not gonna listen to her. Are you?
-No, not at all.

545
00:33:00,778 --> 00:33:02,013
She doesn't know what she's talking about.

No, no.

Introducing first, Axiom.

00:33:40,451 --> 00:33:46,024
[Vic] Tonight is not about the spirit
of competition for Axiom.

555
00:33:46,090 --> 00:33:49,193
Several weeks ago, he was attacked
by his opponent here tonight

556
00:33:49,260 --> 00:33:52,230
after a classic with Tyler Bate.

557
00:33:52,296 --> 00:33:59,036
Tonight, it's about payback for Axiom.
Axiom, Kemp next live right here on NXT.

558
00:34:03,274 --> 00:34:05,777
[Vic] Welcome back live to NXT.

[Alicia] Making his way to the ring,
Damon Kemp.

561
00:34:12,283 --> 00:34:16,554
[Vic] Now, Book, before we took the break,
we were talking about Damon Kemp

562
00:34:16,621 --> 00:34:20,992
and what transpired two weeks ago
here on NXT.

563
00:34:21,058 --> 00:34:22,560
It was in a match Axiom, Tyler Bate.

564
00:34:22,627 --> 00:34:28,499
Damon Kemp from behind attacking Axiom
for no reason.

565
00:34:28,566 --> 00:34:32,737
It was premeditated,
and Damon then, obviously, would run away

566
00:34:32,804 --> 00:34:35,072
when Tyler Bate got in
'cause he didn't wanna have a fair fight.

567
00:34:35,139 --> 00:34:36,908
You're laughing. You think this is funny.

568
00:34:36,974 --> 00:34:40,878
[Booker] No. It's not like you say
it was "for no reason".

569
00:34:40,945 --> 00:34:42,613
-[Vic] It was for no reason.
-[Booker] Damon Kemp,

570
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:46,083
it was definitely for a reason.
It was about champagne wishes, man.

571
00:34:46,150 --> 00:34:49,921
It's about caviar dreams.
It's about getting a piece of the action.

572
00:34:49,987 --> 00:34:52,757
Sometimes when it's not happening
quick enough,

573
00:34:52,824 --> 00:34:54,559
-you got to make it happen.
-[bell ringing]

574
00:34:54,625 --> 00:34:55,626
That's what it was all about.

575
00:34:55,693 --> 00:35:00,565
[Vic] Oh, Axiom right now making him pay,
that being Damon Kemp for his actions,

576
00:35:00,631 --> 00:35:04,502
and Axiom has been seething for two weeks
since that attack.

577
00:35:04,569 --> 00:35:06,437
When you're around him,
you can see it on his face.

578
00:35:06,504 --> 00:35:09,107
[Booker] Yes, indeed.
I like everything about this kid, Axiom.

579
00:35:09,173 --> 00:35:11,375
He's a hell of a talent.

580
00:35:11,442 --> 00:35:14,745
Kid can do just about anything
in the middle of this squared circle.

581
00:35:14,812 --> 00:35:16,747
I said he's like The Matrix.

582
00:35:17,782 --> 00:35:19,417
[Vic] I'll say,
this might be one of the few times

583
00:35:19,484 --> 00:35:22,420
Axiom doesn't have the grappling advantage
in a matchup.

584
00:35:22,987 --> 00:35:26,057
[Booker] You can say that,
but I kind of beg to differ.

585
00:35:26,124 --> 00:35:30,461
Someone like Axiom,
he picks up on this very, very quickly.

586
00:35:30,528 --> 00:35:32,597
He's been having some of the best
here at NXT.

587
00:35:32,663 --> 00:35:34,899
And sometimes,
like Georges "Rush" St-Pierre,

588
00:35:34,966 --> 00:35:38,803
he may not be the best grappler,
but you figure out how to win.

589
00:35:38,870 --> 00:35:39,871
And that's what it's all about.

590
00:35:39,937 --> 00:35:41,539
[Vic] Axiom flying around
like a boomerang.

591
00:35:41,606 --> 00:35:45,510
Coming right back at Damon Kemp.
Able to land on his feet. Roll through.

592
00:35:45,576 --> 00:35:48,880
-Gets caught, and look at the strength.
-[Booker] Woah! Woah!

593
00:35:48,946 --> 00:35:55,853
What a wheelbarrow suplex from Damon Kemp.

594
00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:57,822
And certainly there's no doubt

595
00:35:57,889 --> 00:36:01,425
who has the power advantage
in this matchup, it's on display.

596
00:36:01,492 --> 00:36:06,264
[Booker] Damon Kemp right now
just ripping Axiom like a ragdoll

597
00:36:06,330 --> 00:36:08,165
and a lifeless attitude.

598
00:36:08,232 --> 00:36:11,869
I love this aggression from this young man
because, like I say, Vic,

599
00:36:11,936 --> 00:36:14,872
take nothing away from Axiom,
but this is what it takes.

600
00:36:14,939 --> 00:36:17,742
-That bad, bad attitude.
-[Vic] I want to bring this.

601
00:36:17,808 --> 00:36:21,679
You like the fact that Damon has developed
this mean streak

602
00:36:21,746 --> 00:36:24,882
-over the last several months. You dig it.
-[Booker] Vic, you gotta go and get it.

603
00:36:24,949 --> 00:36:30,454
Sometimes you got to take it here in NXT.
Like I say, it's all about the checks.

604
00:36:30,521 --> 00:36:33,057
It's all about championship.
It's about being the best.

605
00:36:33,124 --> 00:36:36,093
[Vic] Now, look at right now, Kemp
just raining down right on top of Axiom.

606
00:36:36,160 --> 00:36:37,728
Making him think about it
and making him pay.

607
00:36:37,795 --> 00:36:39,197
Into the cover, and a kick out.

608
00:36:39,263 --> 00:36:43,267
And I hate to sit here
and have to agree with you about Damon

609
00:36:43,334 --> 00:36:46,070
and why he attacked Axiom,
and you say, go out there and get it.

610
00:36:46,137 --> 00:36:49,407
If Damon Kemp is able to defeat Axiom
here tonight, that's huge.

611
00:36:49,473 --> 00:36:51,909
[Booker] Go out here
and then pick on someone like Axiom

612
00:36:51,976 --> 00:36:55,212
knowing that this is a guy
that can surely take it to another level.

613
00:36:55,279 --> 00:36:59,383
That means that… Look, man,
I'm willing to put myself in a situation.

614
00:36:59,450 --> 00:37:01,052
That's what Damon is doing right now.

615
00:37:01,118 --> 00:37:03,521
[Vic] Axiom not forgetting
about two weeks ago.

616
00:37:03,588 --> 00:37:07,091
-Bringing it right back in on Kemp.
-[Booker] Oh, yes.

617
00:37:07,158 --> 00:37:08,960
[Vic] This is how Axiom counters
the power.

618
00:37:09,026 --> 00:37:13,097
He uses speed, quickness, agility.

619
00:37:13,164 --> 00:37:17,001
Now, Axiom looking around.
Shouldn't waste too much time.

620
00:37:17,068 --> 00:37:18,236
[Booker] Comfort zone right here
on this top rope.

621
00:37:18,302 --> 00:37:20,538
[Vic] Looking to fly.

622
00:37:20,605 --> 00:37:24,976
-[Booker] Oh.
-[Vic] Oh, cover, cover, cover. Near-fall.

623
00:37:25,042 --> 00:37:28,646
Nice counter and a roll-through by Kemp,
and Axiom right back to his feet.

624
00:37:28,713 --> 00:37:31,449
Bringing it to Kemp in this moment. Oh.

625
00:37:31,983 --> 00:37:33,651

Normally, a kid like Damon Kemp…

632
00:37:50,668 --> 00:37:52,470
-Wait a minute. Let's get this in quickly.
-[Vic] Let's take another--

633
00:37:52,536 --> 00:37:57,174
Bam! Big clothesline rocked Axiom.
Then up in the electric chair.

634
00:37:57,241 --> 00:38:01,045
Catch, bam, drop,
and then the bridge as well from Kemp.

635
00:38:01,112 --> 00:38:04,682
You talk about someone who has started
to round out their game offensively.

636
00:38:04,749 --> 00:38:07,051
Oh, Axiom able to stay
one step ahead of Kemp,

637
00:38:07,118 --> 00:38:09,620
and an open-palm strike
buckling the knees.

638
00:38:09,687 --> 00:38:12,723
[Booker] Baby, here comes this kid, Axiom.

639
00:38:12,790 --> 00:38:16,961
A kid that's got
that never-say-die mentality. I love it.

640
00:38:17,028 --> 00:38:21,599
[Vic] Axiom now setting his target.
Golden Ratio into the jaw.

641
00:38:23,167 --> 00:38:26,203
-Axiom gets his payback tonight.
-[Booker] Wow.

644
00:38:33,577 --> 00:38:36,881
[Vic] What a victory for Axiom
here tonight.

645
00:38:36,947 --> 00:38:41,252
It's got to feel good for Axiom
here this evening on Valentine's Day,

646
00:38:41,319 --> 00:38:44,055
but speaking of feeling good, Book.

647
00:38:44,121 --> 00:38:48,426
How about date night here
for Brooks Jensen?

648
00:38:48,492 --> 00:38:51,962
You see on social media,
he and Kiana James in the…

649
00:38:52,029 --> 00:38:55,132
Has Cupid struck Brooks Jensen?
Cupid got him.

650
00:38:55,199 --> 00:38:59,704
[Booker] Boy, look at his nose,
wide open. About as big as Texas.

651
00:38:59,770 --> 00:39:03,841
[Vic] Tonight could be the night
for Brooks Jensen.

652
00:39:03,908 --> 00:39:05,309
No telling what could happen.

653
00:39:08,245 --> 00:39:11,916
Look, man. Stop looking at the comments.
Look at Brooks. Aren't you proud of him?

654
00:39:11,982 --> 00:39:14,218
It looks like
they're having the time of their lives.

655
00:39:14,285 --> 00:39:18,255
I can't take this anymore.
I have to tell him. Let's go.

656
00:39:19,256 --> 00:39:20,391
Tell him what?

657
00:39:22,193 --> 00:39:24,362
[Vic] Focusing back
on the here and the now.

658
00:39:24,428 --> 00:39:28,733
For the first time since Vengeance Day,
Bron Breakker is here.

659
00:39:28,799 --> 00:39:32,737
The NXT Champion is back.
Next live on NXT.

I know, I'm going.

662
00:39:41,712 --> 00:39:45,483
Shawn Michaels doesn't even have
the respect to let me get changed.

663
00:39:45,549 --> 00:39:49,620
He's kicking me out of the building.
I know, idiot. Don't touch me.

664
00:39:50,554 --> 00:39:55,393
Open the door, lad. Open the door.
I'm the biggest star in NXT.

665
00:39:55,459 --> 00:39:58,696
Shawn should be on his knees
saying thank you for my present.

666
00:39:59,563 --> 00:40:02,233
You're a hypocrite, Shawn.
You're a hypocrite.

you stooge, you stooge.

668
00:40:06,036 --> 00:40:08,939
Grayson Waller runs this.
Hey, you don't tell me what to do.

669
00:40:10,908 --> 00:40:12,009
[Vic] Absolutely unreal.

670
00:40:12,076 --> 00:40:17,481
Waller's insubordination continuing
and it all began after this man left him

671
00:40:17,548 --> 00:40:22,153
lying inside a steel cage
at Vengeance Day.

[Vic] And Bron Breakker tonight, Book,
back to work inside his dog pound.

675
00:40:35,666 --> 00:40:37,201
[Booker] Yes, indeed. You know what?

676
00:40:37,268 --> 00:40:40,137
Just to speak on something, man,
as far as Grayson Waller

677
00:40:40,204 --> 00:40:42,873
and this little ordeal
he's having with Shawn Michaels.

678
00:40:42,940 --> 00:40:45,609
Shawn Michaels, if he can put himself
in a time machine,

679
00:40:45,676 --> 00:40:49,246
he probably would be watching
himself and Grayson Waller.

680
00:40:49,313 --> 00:40:53,017
This guy in a world back in the day
was rambunctious,

681
00:40:53,083 --> 00:40:55,386
so I'm sure he can understand more,

682
00:40:55,453 --> 00:41:00,624
so than anybody what Grayson Waller
is going through right now.

683
00:41:00,691 --> 00:41:03,694
[Vic] Well, let's focus on those
that are still in the building.

684
00:41:03,761 --> 00:41:08,332
And let's focus
on the NXT Champion, Bron Breakker.

Feels a little different in here tonight.

Like, when one door closes,
the next door opens.

689
00:41:44,134 --> 00:41:49,607
But this next challenge ahead of me
is different,

690
00:41:50,140 --> 00:41:52,443
feels bigger.

691
00:41:53,444 --> 00:41:57,748

that everybody wants to see, right?

Check that.

-[Vic] Jinder Mahal.
-[Booker] Indus Sher.

698

not the man I expected to see.

-Tell me something I don't know, pal.
-I'd love to, Bron. Give me a second.

Now, Bron, I respectfully interrupt.

702
00:42:53,003 --> 00:42:56,407
Respectfully because I admire…

703
00:42:57,308 --> 00:43:03,781
the fact that for almost an entire year
you have carried NXT on your back.

704
00:43:03,847 --> 00:43:07,318
You are NXT. You are the entire brand.

But I know very well, the weight
that you carry on your shoulder.

00:43:19,863 --> 00:43:25,069
Now, Bron, I also know very well
the stress of the next challenger,

708
00:43:25,135 --> 00:43:28,172
the stress of retaining your championship.

709
00:43:29,340 --> 00:43:35,779
But not only that, I completely understand
all the media, all the appearances,

710
00:43:35,846 --> 00:43:39,049
the late nights, the early mornings,

711
00:43:39,116 --> 00:43:43,220
the lifestyle that comes
with being the man, the champ.

Is this what you thought
being champion would be like?

717

You're damn straight!
What the hell are you talking about?

718
00:44:09,580 --> 00:44:14,518
For almost an entire year,
you have been NXT Champion,

719
00:44:14,585 --> 00:44:17,287
but you must be deaf,

720
00:44:17,354 --> 00:44:23,327

That is exactly why I'm here,

because of that arrogance.

The fact that you cannot acknowledge
what's going on around you.

The fact that you cannot acknowledge
that the tides are changing.

You cannot acknowledge the fact
that you are tired, vulnerable, and weak.

Excuse me. Meiko, Roxanne,
we had some time to think

757
00:47:04,721 --> 00:47:08,392
and we realized that we may have been
a little aggressive last week.

758
00:47:08,458 --> 00:47:10,761
Yeah, we were pissed
because we got screwed out of the titles,

759
00:47:10,828 --> 00:47:13,063
but that had nothing to do with you.

760
00:47:13,130 --> 00:47:18,368

and we're really sorry about that.

-Apology accepted, but are you guys saying

that you don't wanna have this match now?
Or…

And, Indi, you requested this time.

What's on your mind?

774
00:48:14,491 --> 00:48:17,761
Toxic Attraction was pretty much despised
by the entire locker room.

775
00:48:17,828 --> 00:48:20,631
And trust me,
after everything she put me through,

776
00:48:20,697 --> 00:48:23,367
I enjoyed seeing Gigi's skull
get kicked in.

777
00:48:23,433 --> 00:48:25,369
But tonight,
I'm sitting in the locker room

778
00:48:25,435 --> 00:48:28,672
and I'm listening
to Jacy Jayne's hot garbage

779
00:48:28,739 --> 00:48:32,476
that I think she believes she'll shoot up
to the top of the division,

780

Jacy Jayne is dead wrong.

is behind me.

00:49:32,903 --> 00:49:35,806
["All About Family" playing]

794
00:49:35,872 --> 00:49:41,611
[Vic] Uh-oh, Book, he's been looking
for gold for a long time.

795
00:49:43,413 --> 00:49:46,984
-[Booker] Oh.
-[Vic] The Don is… Dijak!

796
00:49:49,353 --> 00:49:54,491
-It's… Wait, is Stacks going right back?
-[Booker] What the hell is going on?

797
00:49:54,558 --> 00:49:57,828
[Vic] Now, officials are trying
to separate these three.

798
00:49:59,363 --> 00:50:00,297
Who's…

799
00:50:01,598 --> 00:50:02,599
[whistling]

800
00:50:04,167 --> 00:50:09,339
-Von Wagner.
-[Booker] What the hell's going on, Vic?

801
00:50:09,406 --> 00:50:13,944
[indistinct chatter]

802
00:50:14,011 --> 00:50:15,412
[Vic] I'll tell you what's going on.

803
00:50:15,479 --> 00:50:18,949
Von Wagner has accepted
the open challenge.

804
00:50:19,016 --> 00:50:20,117
-Ring the bell.
-[bell ringing]

805
00:50:20,183 --> 00:50:23,420
[Vic] And it is Wagner, Wes Lee.
Look at Lee not backing down.

806
00:50:25,188 --> 00:50:26,423
Turning right back in

807
00:50:26,490 --> 00:50:28,558
on the much larger opponent here
in Von Wagner.

808
00:50:28,625 --> 00:50:30,961
This is the open challenge,
Von Wagner accepted.

809
00:50:31,028 --> 00:50:32,529
Do you like open challenges, by the way?

810
00:50:32,596 --> 00:50:35,065
[Booker] I'm not a big fan
of these open challenges,

811
00:50:35,132 --> 00:50:39,069
but I tell you what, this kid, Wes Lee,
after just last week at Vengeance Day,

812
00:50:39,136 --> 00:50:41,938
he proved to be
that he's a hell of a fighter

813
00:50:42,005 --> 00:50:43,373
inside that squared circle.

814
00:50:43,440 --> 00:50:46,243
[Vic] Again, trying to prove
just how tough he is,

815
00:50:46,309 --> 00:50:47,878
is the North American Champion,

816
00:50:47,944 --> 00:50:53,183
but look at Von Wagner and Mr. Stone
on the outside, and just getting tossed.

817
00:50:53,250 --> 00:50:54,651
[Booker] Hmm, man.

818
00:50:57,821 --> 00:51:04,060
[Vic] It's Von at the element of surprise
here tonight answering.

819
00:51:04,127 --> 00:51:08,832
There's no way Wes Lee could have thought
he would be facing Von Wagner.

820
00:51:08,899 --> 00:51:11,468
He had to think it was Dijak or Don.

821
00:51:11,535 --> 00:51:14,104
[Booker] Look, Wes Lee asked for it,
and now he got it.

822
00:51:14,171 --> 00:51:17,340
He's got to deal with this big man here.

823
00:51:17,407 --> 00:51:23,647
But Wagner, who I consider a monster, man,
he's a monster.

824
00:51:23,713 --> 00:51:26,883
[Vic] These two have unfinished business
in their own.

825
00:51:26,950 --> 00:51:30,153
Of course, we got to remember, Book,
we were sitting here at Halloween Havoc.

826
00:51:30,220 --> 00:51:34,558
You remember when Von Wagner
just launched Wes Lee at us?

827
00:51:34,624 --> 00:51:37,761
This is business
between these two superstars.

828
00:51:37,828 --> 00:51:42,766
It goes back quite some times.
I want to look at Von Wagner for a moment,

829
00:51:42,833 --> 00:51:45,602
is he at a crossroads right now
in his career?

830
00:51:45,669 --> 00:51:49,906
[Booker] I look at this kid, Von Wagner,
he checks off every box, Vic.

831
00:51:49,973 --> 00:51:54,111
I mean, every box,
but he's like Denzel Washington

832
00:51:54,177 --> 00:51:56,646
in The Book of Eli,
he's just walking north.

833
00:51:56,713 --> 00:51:59,216
He doesn't know where he's going,
but he's on a mission.

834
00:51:59,282 --> 00:52:01,685
-He's gotta complete that.
-[Vic] Hold on. Watch out, Book.

835
00:52:01,751 --> 00:52:04,387
-[Booker] Oh.
-Bring him in the ring.

836
00:52:04,454 --> 00:52:08,391
Hey, you can't beat him here, Von.
Von, in the ring.

837
00:52:08,458 --> 00:52:14,564
-[Vic] Oh.
-Von, come on. Get him in the ring.

838
00:52:14,631 --> 00:52:20,103
Von, the ring. Take him in the ring, Von.
That's where you beat him.

839
00:52:20,170 --> 00:52:23,607
-I got this. This is my match.
-Just think.

840
00:52:23,673 --> 00:52:25,675
I get it,
but you gotta beat him in the ring.

841
00:52:25,742 --> 00:52:27,677
[Vic] I don't usually side with Mr. Stone,
but he has a point,

842
00:52:27,744 --> 00:52:30,881
Von Wagner can't win the North American
Championship on the outside.

843
00:52:30,947 --> 00:52:33,450
He has to pin
or make Wes Lee submit inside the ring.

844
00:52:33,517 --> 00:52:36,753
[Booker] You cannot have a manager
barking orders like that

845
00:52:36,820 --> 00:52:37,954
when you're trying
to take care of business.

846
00:52:38,021 --> 00:52:39,589
[Vic] But if he didn't bark those orders,
Wagner…

847
00:52:39,656 --> 00:52:42,659
[Booker] Look, I understand
what Von's doing. He's trying to make…

848
00:52:42,726 --> 00:52:46,296
[Vic] Big clothesline into the cover
for the title, and Lee just kicked out.

849
00:52:46,363 --> 00:52:49,399
[Booker] He's trying to make Wes Lee
feel the ultimate pain.

850
00:52:49,466 --> 00:52:53,537
You got to break a man
like Wes Lee's soul.

851
00:52:53,603 --> 00:52:56,373
You got to get deep, deep into this man.

852
00:52:56,439 --> 00:52:58,608
Whoa, here comes the people
trying to get behind this kid.

853
00:52:58,675 --> 00:52:59,876
[Vic] They're trying to rally Wes Lee.

854
00:52:59,943 --> 00:53:02,846
Look, there'll be no open challenge
this Saturday for Austin Theory

855
00:53:02,913 --> 00:53:05,182
when he defends
the United States Championship

856
00:53:05,248 --> 00:53:07,951
in the Elimination Chamber
against five others.

857
00:53:08,018 --> 00:53:10,253
But right now, Lee trying to fight back.

858
00:53:10,320 --> 00:53:14,791
Lee, we've seen this time and time again,
not just for days, not just for weeks,

859
00:53:14,858 --> 00:53:17,494
but for his entire career here in NXT,

860
00:53:17,561 --> 00:53:21,398
always able to figure out a way
to overcome the odds

861
00:53:21,464 --> 00:53:24,134
and get around any obstacle.
Moonsault connects.

862
00:53:24,201 --> 00:53:27,103
[Booker] Beautiful with the grace,

863
00:53:27,170 --> 00:53:31,274
the balance this kid, Wes Lee,
possesses is unbelievable.

864
00:53:31,341 --> 00:53:34,844
[Vic] You can only imagine right now
to what Dijak and Tony D'Angelo think.

865
00:53:34,911 --> 00:53:37,047
What is Stacks thinking as well?

866
00:53:37,113 --> 00:53:42,018
Coming down here and it ends up being Von
who answers this open challenge.

867
00:53:42,085 --> 00:53:45,989
[Booker] Let me tell you what these kids
are thinking about this kid, Wes Lee,

868
00:53:46,056 --> 00:53:49,225
they're thinking just like they thought
about Michael Jordan, how do we stop him?

869
00:53:49,292 --> 00:53:53,363
-How do we stop this kid?
-[Vic] Von just stopped Lee in his tracks,

870
00:53:53,430 --> 00:53:57,234
and now just planted
the North American Champion.

871
00:53:57,300 --> 00:54:01,972
You hear again Mr. Stone on the outside,
this could be that Von Wagner moment,

872
00:54:02,038 --> 00:54:07,944
North American title, and oh,
getting that right shoulder up was Lee.

873
00:54:08,011 --> 00:54:14,317
Take another look at Lee going airborne
and nasty landing for the champion.

874
00:54:15,185 --> 00:54:16,319
[groaning]

875
00:54:17,254 --> 00:54:21,791
[Vic] Again, you see Von Wagner,
take this match…

876
00:54:21,858 --> 00:54:25,595
Oh, he's staring at you, Book.
Von Wagner was staring a hole through you.

877
00:54:25,662 --> 00:54:28,732
-[Booker] No, he wasn't looking at me.
-[Vic] He was looking at you.

878
00:54:28,798 --> 00:54:30,600
[Booker] Wait a minute.
I think he's thinking of that…

879
00:54:30,667 --> 00:54:32,836
-[Vic] Oh, is he looking at us?
-[Booker] I think he's thinking about…

880
00:54:32,902 --> 00:54:36,940
-[Vic] Oh, we've seen this movie before.
-[Booker] Oh. Whoa.

881
00:54:37,007 --> 00:54:39,442
[Vic] Superkick.
Lee didn't wanna see the sequel.

882
00:54:39,509 --> 00:54:43,813
Now it's Lee, the North American Champion,
who issued this open challenge,

883
00:54:43,880 --> 00:54:45,515
starting to chop down,

884
00:54:45,582 --> 00:54:51,021
cut down the bigger, the larger,
the stronger Von Wagner.

885
00:54:51,087 --> 00:54:57,560
[Booker] I look at Wes Lee, he's chasing
something bigger than we can understand.

886
00:54:57,627 --> 00:55:00,430
He's chasing greatness, Vic,
and he's so close.

887
00:55:00,497 --> 00:55:03,967
[Vic] Cardiac kick connects
for the Cardiac Kid.

888
00:55:04,034 --> 00:55:06,736
["Assemble" playing]

889
00:55:06,803 --> 00:55:13,677
[Alicia] Here is your winner
and still the NXT North American Champion,

890
00:55:13,743 --> 00:55:15,312
Wes Lee.

891
00:55:15,378 --> 00:55:18,448
[Vic] All smiles is Wes Lee.
Look at this. Bam!

892
00:55:18,515 --> 00:55:22,319
Cardiac kick connected,
and another victory

893
00:55:22,385 --> 00:55:25,889
as the North American Championship reign
continues for Wes Lee.

894
00:55:25,955 --> 00:55:29,559
Like you said, he's never satisfied.
He wants to prove more.

895
00:55:29,626 --> 00:55:35,932
He wants more as Wes Lee
continues to chase greatness here in NXT.

896
00:55:40,103 --> 00:55:41,671
-Hey, Drew.
-Whoa.

897
00:55:41,738 --> 00:55:43,540
-Check out.
-Nice singlet, Hank.

898
00:55:43,606 --> 00:55:45,408
-Thanks, man.
-Are you ready for tonight?

899
00:55:45,475 --> 00:55:48,978
Yes, sir. Almost.
My boots didn't come in yet,

900
00:55:49,045 --> 00:55:52,916
so I still gotta wear
the old ones I've been wearing.

901
00:55:54,050 --> 00:55:58,254
Yeah, I thought that might happen,
so I got you a pair of mine.

902
00:55:58,955 --> 00:56:02,192
-Oh, my God. Thank you. Are you sure?
-Yeah, I'm sure.

903
00:56:02,258 --> 00:56:05,662
-Oh, my God. Thanks, man.
-Now, go lace them up 'cause you're next.

904
00:56:05,729 --> 00:56:07,630
Oh, yes, sir, right away. [laughing]

905
00:56:08,398 --> 00:56:11,234
[Vic] Walker and Dempsey next on NXT.

906
00:56:14,270 --> 00:56:18,408
[Vic] We're on the road to WrestleMania
as we go Hollywood once again.

907
00:56:18,475 --> 00:56:21,077
[Stone Cold] Chief ass whooper of sorry,
sons of bitches.

908
00:56:23,580 --> 00:56:26,416
Beer drinker among beer drinkers.

909
00:56:28,752 --> 00:56:31,454
Truster of no one.

910
00:56:33,056 --> 00:56:36,893
And I will stomp a mud hole in your ass
and walk it dry.

911
00:56:49,172 --> 00:56:55,311
My name is "Stone Cold" Steve Austin.
And tonight, I unleash hell.

912
00:56:55,378 --> 00:56:57,147
[audience cheering]

913
00:56:57,680 --> 00:57:00,583
Oh, hell yeah.
We are indeed on the road to WrestleMania,

914
00:57:00,650 --> 00:57:04,988
which also means NXT Stand & Deliver
on WrestleMania Saturday,

915
00:57:05,054 --> 00:57:08,424
But before we get to Los Angeles,
it is NXT Roadblock,

916
00:57:08,491 --> 00:57:11,761
Tuesday, March 7th,
live right here on USA.

917
00:57:11,828 --> 00:57:15,832
-Book, it's the best time of the year.
-Oh, my God, and I'm living my best life.

918
00:57:15,899 --> 00:57:17,567
-It's because of you and me.
-It's awesome.

919
00:57:17,634 --> 00:57:20,570
-Chucky ducky.
-Quack, quack.

920
00:57:20,637 --> 00:57:21,805
-[laughing]
-[bell ringing]

921
00:57:21,871 --> 00:57:24,374
[Alicia] The following contest
is scheduled for one fall.

922
00:57:24,441 --> 00:57:29,779
Introducing first,
accompanied by Drew Gulak, Hank Walker.

923
00:57:32,749 --> 00:57:34,317
[Vic] Book, have you ever let someone
borrow your boots?

924
00:57:34,384 --> 00:57:35,652
[Booker] No, no.

925
00:57:35,718 --> 00:57:40,190
["Crawl" playing]

926
00:57:41,191 --> 00:57:45,495
[Alicia] And his opponent,
Charlie Dempsey.

927
00:58:17,327 --> 00:58:18,328
Ring the bell.

928
00:58:18,394 --> 00:58:19,395
[bell ringing]

929
00:58:21,097 --> 00:58:22,665
-[grunts]
-Come on, Hank.

930
00:58:24,133 --> 00:58:26,970
-Come on, Hanky.
-Come on.

931
00:58:27,036 --> 00:58:29,339
[Vic] This is something
that has been a saga ongoing

932
00:58:29,405 --> 00:58:30,540
between these two forces.

933
00:58:30,607 --> 00:58:32,408
Charlie Dempsey looking
for another victory,

934
00:58:32,475 --> 00:58:36,012
but this is also a big moment
for Hank Walker.

935
00:58:36,079 --> 00:58:37,247
He looks a little bit different.

936
00:58:37,313 --> 00:58:40,350
Maybe those boots
will bring him a little luck here tonight.

937
00:58:40,416 --> 00:58:41,918
[Booker] Boots look a little tight, man.

938
00:58:41,985 --> 00:58:45,688
Let me tell you right now, you don't know
if this guy has an athlete's foot.

939
00:58:45,755 --> 00:58:49,626
Anything could happen with those…
Another man's boots.

940
00:58:49,692 --> 00:58:53,596
-You know that's nasty.
-[Vic] [laughing] Oh.

941
00:58:53,663 --> 00:58:57,467
Both men with the same idea,
as Drew Gulak on the outside looking on.

942
00:58:57,533 --> 00:59:00,003
This is really the final exam
for Hank Walker.

943
00:59:00,069 --> 00:59:02,472
[Booker] No, this is a major test,
but in this business, Vic,

944
00:59:02,538 --> 00:59:06,676
there are tests each and every time
you step into that squared circle.

945
00:59:06,743 --> 00:59:09,812
-That's what Walker's got to deal with.
-[Vic] Look, bam!

946
00:59:10,914 --> 00:59:13,149
Both men, that same thought process.
Look at Hank Walker.

947
00:59:13,216 --> 00:59:17,053
Walker driving Dempsey down into the mat,
looking for a possible submission.

948
00:59:17,120 --> 00:59:19,188
You gotta be kidding me.
Is this gonna happen?

949
00:59:19,255 --> 00:59:21,858
[Booker] Hank Walker's been working

-[Booker] He's so close to victory.

[Vic] Walker listening to Gulak.
Gulak, shouting at Walker.

952
00:59:28,831 --> 00:59:31,601
Walker, right now,
trying to hyperextend that elbow,

953
00:59:31,668 --> 00:59:34,837
trying to twist the joint,
trying to use some manipulation.

954
00:59:34,904 --> 00:59:37,807
One more time dragging Dempsey.
Oh, Dempsey caught Walker.

955
00:59:37,874 --> 00:59:39,208
[Booker] Got a little overzealous
right there.

956
00:59:39,275 --> 00:59:44,580
Got out of position, and right there,
Dempsey's all over him like a cheap suit.

[Vic] Dempsey trying to hook those fingers
one more time.

958

Come on, Hank.

959
00:59:49,252 --> 00:59:54,157
You can see Gulak continuing to coach,
continuing to plead and yell at Walker.

960
00:59:54,223 --> 00:59:56,926
-Walker so close, Book.
-[Booker] Oh, he got it.

961
00:59:56,993 --> 00:59:58,127
-He got it.
-[Vic] Will he tap?

962
00:59:58,194 --> 01:00:01,197
-[Booker] Oh, he got it.
-[Vic] He finally had to. Had no choice.

of Hank Walker's skills

-Hey. Come on. Stop.
-[Vic] Hey, this is uncalled for.

01:00:28,725 --> 01:00:33,796
[Booker] It's called dessert, Vic.
This is called dessert with coffee.

[Vic] What's Gulak doing?
Help your student.

Oh, I've got plenty to say, Von,
but what's the point?

978
01:01:32,221 --> 01:01:34,957
You didn't lose the match
because you lack in-ring ability.

You've got plenty of that,

you lost the match
because you don't have a connection to me.

You lost the match because you don't have
a connection to the WWE universe.

did it to us last week.

Ilja Dragunov,
last week you made your return

1030
01:05:35,698 --> 01:05:39,268
after four months on the shelf
due to an injury by JD McDonagh.

1031
01:05:39,335 --> 01:05:40,569
Is this hard to watch?

1032
01:05:41,637 --> 01:05:47,209
It was a difficult path for my recovery.
I had internal bleeding.

1033
01:05:47,977 --> 01:05:53,416
But I believe that pain helps
to make you feel alive.

1034
01:05:54,116 --> 01:05:56,886
One man who isn't excited to see you back
is JD McDonagh.

1035
01:05:56,953 --> 01:06:00,957
A strike to his face last week sent him
to the hospital with a detached retina.

1036

My retribution was coming.
And for JD, this is just the beginning.

Yeah. Trick Williams is right here
in the middle of this ring.

01:06:18,908 --> 01:06:24,880
And I won't move until you come out here
and you meet me face-to-face.

in this building point blank, period.

I will drop you like a mixtape.

crystal clear to you, Dragunov.

as they get set to compete

1109
01:10:38,701 --> 01:10:41,804
against the current NXT Women's Champion,
Roxanne Perez,

1110
01:10:41,870 --> 01:10:46,242
and the Japanese legend herself,
Meiko Satomura, next.

1111
01:10:52,214 --> 01:10:55,050
NXT title match next week?
Man, who skipped the line?

1112
01:10:55,117 --> 01:10:57,019
[screaming]

1113
01:10:57,086 --> 01:10:59,855
I know they talking about Trick Williams
and I'm in the middle of bad right now.

1114
01:10:59,922 --> 01:11:03,559
-Okay, all right.
-Look, dawg, I'm 6'4", 235, all chocolate.

1115
01:11:03,626 --> 01:11:06,228
-Yeah.
-These hands here, these feet here,

1116
01:11:06,295 --> 01:11:07,896
-they ready to aim for everybody.
-Okay, yeah.

1117
01:11:07,963 --> 01:11:09,798
-Everybody can get it.
-All right. Hey, man, I hear you.

1118
01:11:09,865 --> 01:11:15,738
-Look, Ilja, bro. He's different.
-No, I'm different. It's my time.

1119
01:11:15,804 --> 01:11:17,640
Okay, yeah, but you know what you did,
though, right?

1120
01:11:17,706 --> 01:11:20,009
-What's that?
-Woke up the Mad Dragon.

1121
01:11:20,075 --> 01:11:21,977
So, no.
Look, he could throw his head at me,

1122
01:11:22,044 --> 01:11:24,880
he could throw his shoulders, his knees,
his toes, it don't matter.

1123
01:11:24,947 --> 01:11:27,716
He'll learn Trick Willy is the meanest,
he's the prettiest,

1124
01:11:27,783 --> 01:11:30,419
he's the baddest brown in town,
and that's all it is.

1125
01:11:30,486 --> 01:11:35,424
And that is all it's going to be.
That's what I'm talking about, bro. Uh!

1126
01:11:35,491 --> 01:11:36,425
[inaudible]

1127
01:11:37,259 --> 01:11:38,861
[mellow music playing]

1128
01:11:38,927 --> 01:11:42,131
Country music now.
You should try some of that line dancing.

1129
01:11:42,197 --> 01:11:47,169
[chuckling] We'll see.
Brooks, I had a really great time tonight.

1130
01:11:47,236 --> 01:11:49,038
-Me too.
-And thanks for dinner.

1131
01:11:49,104 --> 01:11:52,508
-It was a great pick.
-Me too. I didn't mean it like that.

1132
01:11:52,574 --> 01:11:59,181
I meant like the food was really… food.
You know, food is food.

1133
01:12:04,653 --> 01:12:07,122
Look at that.
It's actually the North Star.

1134
01:12:07,189 --> 01:12:09,158
Interesting fact,
the North Star is from the South.

1135
01:12:09,224 --> 01:12:12,695
I meant the North
because it's the North Star [stammers].

1136
01:12:13,829 --> 01:12:14,830
Oh.

1137
01:12:14,897 --> 01:12:16,899
[slow music playing]

1138
01:12:21,603 --> 01:12:25,507
Stop. Listen, Brooks,
I wanted this to be a great night for you,

1139
01:12:25,574 --> 01:12:27,743
-but she's cheating on you.
-What?

1140
01:12:27,810 --> 01:12:31,146
I was hoping Kiana would tell you,
but I know she's not going to.

1141
01:12:31,213 --> 01:12:33,048
-It's not true.
-Really?

1142
01:12:33,115 --> 01:12:35,684
I heard you on the phone.
"I love you, Zack."

1143
01:12:36,452 --> 01:12:39,188
-I do love Zack.
-What?

1144
01:12:39,254 --> 01:12:41,223
Because Zack is my brother.

1145
01:12:43,926 --> 01:12:44,927
Really, dude?

1146
01:12:47,896 --> 01:12:49,164
Come on.

1147
01:12:49,698 --> 01:12:52,000
Hey, sis, wasn't sure
when you were gonna be home,

1148
01:12:52,067 --> 01:12:53,435
so I fed the dogs.

1149
01:12:53,502 --> 01:12:55,738
I'll go ahead
and leave through the garage. Cool?

1150
01:12:55,804 --> 01:12:56,805
Thanks, Zack.

1151
01:12:59,441 --> 01:13:01,777
-I didn't…
-Fallon, save it.

1152
01:13:01,844 --> 01:13:04,012
When will you actually start to trust me?

1153
01:13:05,447 --> 01:13:08,417
[door open then closes]

1154
01:13:09,551 --> 01:13:12,921
Brooks, I'm so sorry. I didn't know.

1155
01:13:12,988 --> 01:13:16,692
-I was just trying to… I didn't want…
-It's all good.

1156
01:13:16,759 --> 01:13:19,728
-I didn't… I was just…
-It's all good.

1157
01:13:19,795 --> 01:13:22,965
Damn, Fallon. You all right.

1158
01:13:24,366 --> 01:13:28,837
[Booker] You know, like Eddie Murphy said,
"You need to just mind your business."

1159
01:13:28,904 --> 01:13:30,572
[Vic] There'll be a lot of business
next week

1160
01:13:30,639 --> 01:13:32,975
as Bron Breakker never runs
from a challenge

1161
01:13:33,041 --> 01:13:36,512
and he's not going to do so
from Jinder Mahal who wants the NXT title.

1162
01:13:36,578 --> 01:13:42,184
Huge NXT Championship match live
next Tuesday here on USA.

1163
01:13:42,251 --> 01:13:45,954
We heard from Jacy Jayne who has laid
a path of destruction at her feet,

1164
01:13:46,021 --> 01:13:47,689
but we also heard from Indi Hartwell

1165
01:13:47,756 --> 01:13:50,425
who said Jayne needs to get
to the back of the line.

1166
01:13:50,492 --> 01:13:53,729
These two go one-on-one line
next week on NXT.

1167
01:13:53,796 --> 01:13:56,365
And as we just witnessed two minutes ago,

1168
01:13:56,432 --> 01:14:01,637
Trick Williams has made himself
a new enemy in Ilja Dragunov.

1169
01:14:01,703 --> 01:14:05,174
Dragunov now is aiming
to drop Trick Williams.

1170
01:14:05,240 --> 01:14:09,144
He will try to do so next week
here on NXT,

1171
01:14:09,211 --> 01:14:11,780
but it is the main event time here
this week.

1172
01:14:13,248 --> 01:14:18,053
["Party All The Time" playing]

1173
01:14:20,289 --> 01:14:21,356
[bell ringing]

1174
01:14:21,423 --> 01:14:23,992
[Alicia] The following contest
is a Tag Team match

1175
01:14:24,059 --> 01:14:25,327
scheduled for one fall.

1176
01:14:25,394 --> 01:14:31,567
Introducing first, the team
of Kayden Carter and Katana Chance.

1177
01:14:31,633 --> 01:14:34,303
[Vic] Former
NXT Women's Tag Team Champions.

1178
01:14:34,369 --> 01:14:35,370
I'd like to add

1179
01:14:35,437 --> 01:14:39,842
they were the longest-reigning ever
NXT Women's Tag Team Champions.

1180
01:14:39,908 --> 01:14:42,277
They seem to have cooled down a bit,
though.

1181
01:14:42,344 --> 01:14:44,446
[Booker] I mean, that's the way it is.
Sometimes you cool down,

1182
01:14:44,513 --> 01:14:51,487
but it's always about heating back up,
and Carter and Chance are true tag team.

1183
01:14:51,553 --> 01:14:52,888
I love it.

1184
01:14:53,822 --> 01:14:56,592
[Vic] They're looking one day
to get another opportunity

1185
01:14:56,658 --> 01:14:58,927
at the NXT Women's Tag Team Championships.

1186
01:14:58,994 --> 01:15:02,064
And as we just saw
between the current champions,

1187
01:15:02,130 --> 01:15:05,167
it looked like James and Fallon Henley
are on the same page.

1188
01:15:05,234 --> 01:15:06,501
["All Fall Down" playing]

1189
01:15:06,568 --> 01:15:08,003
[Vic] Feel bad for Brooks Jensen, man.

1190
01:15:12,307 --> 01:15:17,613
[Alicia] And their opponents, first,
she is the NXT Women's Champion,

1191
01:15:17,679 --> 01:15:21,049
Roxanne Perez.

1192
01:15:21,116 --> 01:15:24,786
[Vic] We talk about a champion
not backing down from a challenge.

1193
01:15:24,853 --> 01:15:30,125
That is our current NXT Women's Champion
who has found quite the partner last week.

1194
01:15:30,192 --> 01:15:34,429
["Satomura" playing]

1195
01:15:34,496 --> 01:15:41,403
[Alicia] And her tag team partner,
Meiko Satomura.

1196
01:15:42,604 --> 01:15:47,743
[Vic] It's quite the friend she has found
in the Japanese legend,

1197
01:15:47,809 --> 01:15:51,113
"The Final Boss" Meiko Satomura.

1198
01:15:52,648 --> 01:15:57,686
[Booker] I love this matchup, Vic.
I mean, in Japan, it's all about respect.

1199
01:15:57,753 --> 01:16:02,791
It's all about honor.
We have a legend in Satomura

1200
01:16:02,858 --> 01:16:06,762
and a future legend in Roxanne Perez.

1201
01:16:06,828 --> 01:16:08,730
-What a tag team it's gonna be.
-[Vic] Certainly is.

1202
01:16:08,797 --> 01:16:10,732
We talk about Meiko Satomura,

1203
01:16:10,799 --> 01:16:14,202
this is a superstar who has competed
in the Mae Young Classic.

1204
01:16:14,269 --> 01:16:18,373
The NXT UK Women's Champion
has been a champion all over the world.

1205
01:16:18,440 --> 01:16:21,276
I want to bring up the Mae Young Classic
for a specific reason.

1206
01:16:21,343 --> 01:16:23,011
Because it was a number of years ago,

1207
01:16:23,078 --> 01:16:27,015
she competed against Kayden Carter
in the Mae Young Classic,

1208
01:16:27,082 --> 01:16:32,387
and how much has Kayden Carter grown
because of being in the ring with Meiko,

1209
01:16:32,454 --> 01:16:35,757
let alone teaming with her,
like Roxanne Perez is tonight.

1210
01:16:35,824 --> 01:16:37,292
[Booker] Yeah, five years removed

1211
01:16:37,359 --> 01:16:39,394
from being inside the squared circle
with one another.

1212
01:16:39,461 --> 01:16:41,396
-Tonight is gonna tell us a story…
-[bell ringing]

1213
01:16:41,463 --> 01:16:45,601
…about how far Kayden Carter has come.
I'm looking forward to this.

1214
01:16:45,667 --> 01:16:47,803
[Vic] Carter starting things on
with the NXT Women's Champion,

1215
01:16:47,869 --> 01:16:51,006
that being the prodigy, Roxanne Perez.

1216
01:16:51,073 --> 01:16:52,808
I want to ask you this too,
when it comes to Perez,

1217
01:16:52,874 --> 01:16:55,611
you had that ability
through the early part of her career

1218
01:16:55,677 --> 01:16:57,079
-to help her and guide her.
-[Booker] Yes.

1219
01:16:57,145 --> 01:16:59,348
[Vic] What can she learn
from someone like Meiko Satomura?

1220
01:16:59,414 --> 01:17:00,816
[Booker] I mean, come on, Vic.

1221
01:17:00,882 --> 01:17:04,953
I mean, sitting under the learning tree,
she's a student of the game.

1222
01:17:05,020 --> 01:17:07,923
-And to have someone like…
-[Vic] Into the cover, and a kick out.

1223
01:17:07,990 --> 01:17:11,960
[Booker] To have someone like Satomura's
phone number on speed dial,

1224
01:17:12,027 --> 01:17:14,429
that right there tells you
a whole lot about the respect

1225
01:17:14,496 --> 01:17:17,032
and the honor between those two.
You gotta love it.

1226
01:17:17,099 --> 01:17:19,768
[Vic] I also think right now too,
when you're looking at Chance and Carter,

1227
01:17:19,835 --> 01:17:22,070
they're a great duo, no doubt about it.

1228
01:17:22,137 --> 01:17:24,706
We talked about the accolades
they both have, but you know…

1229
01:17:24,773 --> 01:17:25,907
[Booker] Oh, beautiful.

1230
01:17:25,974 --> 01:17:29,444
[Vic] That both would love
to gain a pinfall over Roxanne Perez

1231
01:17:29,511 --> 01:17:32,981
to put them in line possibly
for that NXT Women's Championship.

1232
01:17:33,048 --> 01:17:36,318
It'd be no upset for Carter and Chance
to get a big victory here tonight

1233
01:17:36,385 --> 01:17:39,888
because those two, I say,
they are special as a tag team.

1234
01:17:39,955 --> 01:17:41,823
-When I say true tag team…
-Tag!

1235
01:17:41,890 --> 01:17:43,759
…that's exactly what I mean.
They're great.

1236
01:17:43,825 --> 01:17:45,661
[Vic] Carter now, shoulders down,
kick out by Perez,

1237
01:17:45,727 --> 01:17:48,163
and talk about them coming up a bit short,

1238
01:17:48,230 --> 01:17:51,033
losing their NXT Women's Tag Team titles
at Vengeance Day.

1239
01:17:51,099 --> 01:17:52,734
-How do they bounce back?
-[Booker] Come on, Vic.

1240
01:17:52,801 --> 01:17:56,905
I mean, it's about getting knocked down,
but how fast can you get up?

1241
01:17:56,972 --> 01:18:01,543
Harlem Heat ten-time Tag Team Champion.
We had to lose them to win them.

1242
01:18:01,610 --> 01:18:05,180
That's just going to add to the legacy
of Carter and Chance.

1243
01:18:05,247 --> 01:18:08,016
[Vic] Tag was made
and we talked about this showdown.

1244
01:18:08,083 --> 01:18:11,186
-[Booker] Oh, baby.
-[Vic] Sign of respect from Satomura.

1245
01:18:11,253 --> 01:18:15,357
A sign of respect right back from Carter,
as well, and here's the striking ability.

1246
01:18:15,424 --> 01:18:18,560
Meiko Satomura probably
has seen it all, and…

1247
01:18:20,362 --> 01:18:22,697
[Booker] There you see that right hand.
Oh, yes.

1248
01:18:22,764 --> 01:18:24,132
[Vic] Oh, what a kick right back,

1249
01:18:24,199 --> 01:18:26,702
and look at the striking ability
from Satomura.

1250
01:18:26,768 --> 01:18:29,337
[Booker] Meiko Satomura,
she's a legend of the sport.

1251
01:18:29,404 --> 01:18:32,407
She's well-versed
in the art of wrestling, jiu-jitsu

1252
01:18:32,474 --> 01:18:35,844
as well as pugilism, that's boxing, Vic.

1253
01:18:35,911 --> 01:18:37,045
[Vic] Thanks for bringing that up

1254
01:18:37,112 --> 01:18:38,914
'cause I was gonna ask you
what the heck that was.

1255
01:18:38,980 --> 01:18:40,682
And now the two for one here.

1256
01:18:41,416 --> 01:18:46,521
On the same page, Satomura, Perez,
rocking and rolling.

1257
01:18:46,588 --> 01:18:50,092
[Booker] Yes, right now,
they're in sync and on the same page

1258
01:18:50,158 --> 01:18:54,529

a huge victory here tonight. NXT, baby.

[audience cheering]

1263
01:19:07,809 --> 01:19:09,878
[Vic] These two are rolling right now.

1264
01:19:09,945 --> 01:19:13,915
Can the former NXT
Women's Tag Team Champions bounce back?

1265
01:19:15,016 --> 01:19:16,485
[screaming]

1266
01:19:17,152 --> 01:19:19,454
[Vic] Back live on NXT,
this is our main event.

1267
01:19:19,521 --> 01:19:21,890
The NXT Women's Champion, Roxanne Perez,

1268
01:19:21,957 --> 01:19:24,526
teaming with the Japanese legend,
Meiko Satomura,

1269
01:19:24,593 --> 01:19:27,662
to take on the former NXT
Women's Tag Team Champions.

1270
01:19:27,729 --> 01:19:31,166
And this just moments ago,
as we saw in the commercial break,

1271
01:19:31,233 --> 01:19:34,202
the TikTok Tag Team on the same page.

1272
01:19:34,669 --> 01:19:39,941
And Chance right now
and Carter have been wearing down Perez.

1273
01:19:40,008 --> 01:19:43,145
Look, you also gotta look at it too, Book,
that the former champions,

1274
01:19:43,211 --> 01:19:44,780
they want another opportunity at the gold.

1275
01:19:44,846 --> 01:19:49,351
I believe as much as the NXT universe.
There's a cover and a near-fall.

1276
01:19:49,417 --> 01:19:51,286
They've earned that right
with that record reign.

1277
01:19:51,353 --> 01:19:53,989
[Booker] And I agree.
They're one-time Tag Team Champions.

1278
01:19:54,055 --> 01:19:55,891
Lost those Tag Team Championships.

1279
01:19:55,957 --> 01:19:59,094
There should be a rematch
call somewhere in there,

1280
01:19:59,161 --> 01:20:01,897
and I agree with you on that one, Vic.
They should get a rematch.

1281
01:20:01,963 --> 01:20:03,131
[Vic] Round and round they go.

1282
01:20:03,198 --> 01:20:06,601
Perez trying to stay ahead of Carter,
and suddenly got around Carter.

1283
01:20:06,668 --> 01:20:10,005
Into a pin,
and another near-fall in this matchup.

1284
01:20:10,071 --> 01:20:12,908
Ooh, Perez here
trying to create that separation.

1285
01:20:12,974 --> 01:20:15,544
Carter got a little scared
when she saw Satomura.

1286
01:20:15,610 --> 01:20:18,180
And now, Satomura in the ring
back into the matchup,

1287
01:20:18,246 --> 01:20:22,050
and look how quick Satomura
just takes this matchup over.

1288
01:20:22,117 --> 01:20:25,754
[Booker] Look at the quickness,
the grace, the balance of Meiko Satomura.

1289
01:20:25,821 --> 01:20:27,889
Big shot right there.
Oh, not looking for the cover.

1290
01:20:27,956 --> 01:20:29,090
I'm surprised.

1291
01:20:29,157 --> 01:20:32,060
[Vic] She got it right, but she wants
to inflict more pain, more damage.

1292
01:20:32,527 --> 01:20:36,831
Flew a long way over
to help out Roxanne Perez.

1293
01:20:36,898 --> 01:20:40,835
That brings up the fact that we talk about
who Satomura's been in the ring with.

1294
01:20:40,902 --> 01:20:43,371
She's also faced Roxanne Perez,
and you could argue

1295
01:20:43,438 --> 01:20:47,609
that Satomura was a test Perez needed
on her journey to become a champion.

1296
01:20:47,676 --> 01:20:52,180
[Booker] I think Perez definitely needs
that guidance from someone like Satomura,

1297
01:20:52,247 --> 01:20:54,316
but I'm thinking about this matchup
right now.

1298
01:20:54,382 --> 01:20:57,786
Carter and Satomura, five years removed.

1299
01:20:57,853 --> 01:21:01,022
Right now, it's on, it's on,
and I'm loving it.

1300
01:21:01,089 --> 01:21:03,692
[Vic] Satomura,
could that have been the knockout blow?

1301
01:21:03,758 --> 01:21:07,429
Carter just able to get
that right shoulder up.

1302
01:21:07,495 --> 01:21:12,734
You could see in the eyes of Kayden Carter
after that last strike from Satomura.

1303
01:21:12,801 --> 01:21:14,603
Satomura now showcasing power.

1304
01:21:14,669 --> 01:21:19,641
Just driving Carter, and making the tag.
Back in comes Perez, and Perez…

1305
01:21:19,708 --> 01:21:22,844
[Booker] Let me tell you something, Vic.
You talk about that lose five years ago

1306
01:21:22,911 --> 01:21:26,615
that Kayden Carter took,
that's something you never ever forget.

1307
01:21:26,681 --> 01:21:30,151
[Vic] Innovative offense. Another cover.
This time it's Chance

1308
01:21:30,218 --> 01:21:32,687
who has to break things up
at the final moment.

1309
01:21:34,389 --> 01:21:36,691
[Booker] What a great tag team partner.
It's all about getting in there

1310
01:21:36,758 --> 01:21:39,694
and making that save
right at the last second.

1311
01:21:39,761 --> 01:21:42,497
[audience chanting] Kayden!

1312
01:21:42,564 --> 01:21:45,934
[Vic] NXT universe has been fired up
all evening long here.

1313
01:21:46,001 --> 01:21:50,305
As NXT action continuing
with some of the top women in the world,

1314
01:21:50,372 --> 01:21:53,508
and now it's Roxanne Perez who was looking
for maybe a Russian leg sweep.

1315
01:21:53,575 --> 01:21:57,913
It was countered, and take a look
at this unique offense from Kayden Carter.

1316
01:21:57,979 --> 01:22:00,548
[audience chanting]
Let's go, Kayden! Let's go, Carter!

1317
01:22:00,615 --> 01:22:03,151
[Booker] I mean,
if any team has an advantage here,

1318
01:22:03,218 --> 01:22:06,922
it's Carter and Chance.
They are great as a tag team.

1319
01:22:06,988 --> 01:22:10,625
We don't know
a whole lot about Roxanne and Satomura.

1320
01:22:10,692 --> 01:22:11,726
[Vic] Not only that,

1321
01:22:11,793 --> 01:22:14,929
you think about the language barrier
between Perez and Satomura.

1322
01:22:14,996 --> 01:22:20,035
You got to think too, Satomura got off
the plane last night here in Orlando.

1323
01:22:20,101 --> 01:22:24,139
[Booker] Oh, my God.
The jet lag gotta be setting in.

1324
01:22:24,205 --> 01:22:26,775
[Vic] Another tag was made,
and again off the top.

1325
01:22:26,841 --> 01:22:28,276
-Right to the small of the back…
-Wow.

1326
01:22:28,343 --> 01:22:29,811
-[Vic] …went Chance.
-[Booker] That's it.

1327
01:22:29,878 --> 01:22:31,513
[Vic] Hooks the inside leg.
Hooks both legs,

1328
01:22:31,579 --> 01:22:34,849
and almost able to pin
the NXT Women's Champion.

1329
01:22:34,916 --> 01:22:38,586
Again, it's important to remember,
you get a victory over the champion?

1330
01:22:38,653 --> 01:22:42,657
You instantly push your name
to the front of the line

1331
01:22:42,724 --> 01:22:45,026
-in the women's division.
-[Booker] Let me tell you right now.

1332
01:22:45,093 --> 01:22:47,228
Like I said, I would not be surprised

1333
01:22:47,295 --> 01:22:49,798
if Carter and Chance walked out
the victor tonight

1334
01:22:49,864 --> 01:22:51,833
because they are truly just that good.

1335
01:22:51,900 --> 01:22:53,468
[Vic] That time
the Russian leg sweep connected,

1336
01:22:53,535 --> 01:22:55,704
and back in comes Satomura.

1337
01:22:56,805 --> 01:22:59,874
Every time Satomura's been in the ring,
she has been destructive,

1338
01:22:59,941 --> 01:23:02,844
but this time Chance up, around, down.
Near-fall.

1339
01:23:02,911 --> 01:23:04,980
Satomura just getting both shoulders
off the mat.

1340
01:23:05,046 --> 01:23:08,883
Back in comes Chance,
and for the first time in this match,

1341
01:23:08,950 --> 01:23:10,418
Satomura is on the backfoot.

1342
01:23:10,485 --> 01:23:14,389
[Booker] The quickness of Carter
and Chance is coming into play right now.

1343
01:23:14,456 --> 01:23:17,225
Satomura been using a lot of power move.

1344
01:23:17,292 --> 01:23:20,295
I'm wondering if they're beginning
to get to her just a little bit.

1345
01:23:22,197 --> 01:23:25,567
[Vic] Chance doing her best.
Oh, listen to these strikes.

1346
01:23:25,633 --> 01:23:28,636
I believe a tag was made
and Carter is now legal.

1347
01:23:29,270 --> 01:23:31,539
Perez doing her best to run interference.

1348
01:23:32,073 --> 01:23:33,475
-[Booker] Whoa!
-[Vic] Oh!

1349
01:23:33,541 --> 01:23:37,946
[Vic] Now, it's just down
to Carter and Meiko Satomura.

1350
01:23:38,013 --> 01:23:39,247
You talk about being a great partner,

1351
01:23:39,314 --> 01:23:41,449
look how quickly Chance gets back
into the fight,

1352
01:23:41,516 --> 01:23:43,518
not leaving her partner by herself.

1353
01:23:43,585 --> 01:23:47,956
And here comes that innovative offense,
high-octane style.

1354
01:23:48,023 --> 01:23:50,125
-[Booker] Wow.
-[Vic] Is this going to be enough?

1355
01:23:50,191 --> 01:23:51,493
Near-fall.

1356
01:23:51,559 --> 01:23:54,963
Satomura just getting
that right shoulder up,

1357
01:23:55,030 --> 01:23:57,132
and another quick tag was made.

1358
01:23:57,899 --> 01:23:59,534
[Booker] Talking
about two working together

1359
01:23:59,601 --> 01:24:03,872
like peanut butter and jelly. Here we go.

1360
01:24:03,938 --> 01:24:05,907
[Vic] And look at Chance
having to alter her plans

1361
01:24:05,974 --> 01:24:08,777
at the last moment.
Oh, got caught right to the midsection.

1362
01:24:08,843 --> 01:24:13,081
Those kicks, those strikes from Satomura
so devastating.

1363
01:24:13,148 --> 01:24:15,784
[Booker] There's that karate-base
coming into play right there.

1364
01:24:15,850 --> 01:24:19,354
Kayden Carter got a little something,
something for you as well.

1365
01:24:19,421 --> 01:24:21,890
[Vic] Certainly does,
and you just hear NXT universe

1366
01:24:21,956 --> 01:24:24,692
with every strike in this matchup.

1367
01:24:24,759 --> 01:24:26,428
[Booker] [laughing] Wow.

1368
01:24:26,494 --> 01:24:28,163
[Vic] Look at Perez begging for the tag,

1369
01:24:28,229 --> 01:24:30,465
and the NXT Women's Champion
back into the matchup.

1370
01:24:30,532 --> 01:24:34,202
Goes back to the midsection.
Could be looking for Pop Rocks.

1371
01:24:34,269 --> 01:24:39,607
Connects.
Big victory for the champ and Satomura.

1372
01:24:39,674 --> 01:24:40,775
Great teamwork, Vic.

1373
01:24:40,842 --> 01:24:41,843
["All Fall Down" playing]

1374
01:24:41,910 --> 01:24:45,647
[Alicia] Here are your winners,
the team of Meiko Satomura

1375
01:24:45,713 --> 01:24:51,085
and the NXT Women's Champion,
Roxanne Perez.

1376
01:24:52,887 --> 01:24:57,125
[Vic] What a moment, what a feeling
it must be for Roxanne Perez.

1377
01:24:57,192 --> 01:24:59,661
She answered the challenge
of Chance and Carter.

1378
01:24:59,727 --> 01:25:03,031
She found a partner
in the Japanese legend.

1379
01:25:03,098 --> 01:25:04,866
Let's take a look back
at some of this action

1380
01:25:04,933 --> 01:25:07,735
because Chance and Carter
were rolling in this matchup.

1381
01:25:07,802 --> 01:25:10,171
They brought their A-game here tonight.

1382
01:25:10,238 --> 01:25:13,208
They delivered every trick they had
in the book

1383
01:25:13,274 --> 01:25:17,312
to isolate and wipe out
the Japanese legend, Meiko Satomura.

1384
01:25:17,378 --> 01:25:20,515
But here was really a turning point
in the matchup

1385
01:25:20,582 --> 01:25:23,485
was this strike right here
from Meiko Satomura.

1386
01:25:23,551 --> 01:25:26,988
Bam!
That patented Pele kick rocked Carter,

1387
01:25:27,055 --> 01:25:28,957
opened the door for Roxanne Perez.

1388
01:25:29,023 --> 01:25:33,661
The NXT Women's Champion would, bam,
connect with that Pop Rocks,

1389
01:25:33,728 --> 01:25:35,330
which has made her a champion

1390
01:25:35,396 --> 01:25:40,535
and made her victorious once again
here live tonight on NXT.

1391
01:25:42,871 --> 01:25:47,709
Roxanne, I did something for you.

1392
01:25:50,678 --> 01:25:56,184
So now, I'd like you to do

1393
01:25:56,251 --> 01:25:59,654
something for me.

1394
01:25:59,721 --> 01:26:03,992
[audience cheering]

1395
01:26:05,727 --> 01:26:06,961
Let's go, Roxanne.

1397
01:26:08,296 --> 01:26:11,166
It would be my honor.

1398
01:26:11,232 --> 01:26:13,701

["All Fall Down" playing]

1401
01:26:16,170 --> 01:26:19,541
[Vic] Roxanne Perez not gonna back down,

1402
01:26:19,607 --> 01:26:25,446
but Perez is looking eye-to-eye
with her roadblock to Los Angeles,

1403

her roadblock to WrestleMania weekend,

1404

and her roadblock to NXT Stand & Deliver.
