1
00:00:01,167 --> 00:00:03,903
[theme music playing]

2
00:00:04,504 --> 00:00:05,672
[narrator] Then.

3
00:00:07,207 --> 00:00:08,074
[Ric Flair] Whoo!

4
00:00:08,141 --> 00:00:10,543
[The Rock] If you smell…

5
00:00:10,610 --> 00:00:11,878
[narrator] Now.

6
00:00:14,848 --> 00:00:17,250
-[Lemmy] The King of Kings.
-[Cena] You can't see me.

7
00:00:17,317 --> 00:00:18,385
[narrator] Forever.

8
00:00:23,089 --> 00:00:24,357
Together.

9
00:00:27,293 --> 00:00:30,029
-[grunts]
-[groans]

10
00:00:30,096 --> 00:00:34,501
[Vic] It's absolute complete pandemonium
to start the night here, Book, on NXT

11
00:00:34,567 --> 00:00:37,103
because as we know,
Wes Lee said he'd be standing

12
00:00:37,170 --> 00:00:39,506
in the middle of the ring
for his open challenge.

13
00:00:39,572 --> 00:00:40,774
Everyone wants an opportunity.

14
00:00:40,840 --> 00:00:44,911
[Booker] Everybody wants a shot,
everybody wants a chance at greatness.

15
00:00:44,978 --> 00:00:46,646
I get it, Vic, I get it.

16
00:00:46,713 --> 00:00:48,982
[Vic] And there is
the North American Champion Wes Lee,

17
00:00:49,049 --> 00:00:52,452
who said the chaos will begin,
his open challenge would be at 8.

18
00:00:52,519 --> 00:00:54,821
He's waiting to see
which one of these superstars

19
00:00:54,888 --> 00:00:57,190
is gonna make it to the ring first.

20
00:00:57,257 --> 00:00:58,925
Everyone trying to get to the ring.

21
00:00:58,992 --> 00:01:00,927
All these superstars
want the golden opportunity.

22
00:01:00,994 --> 00:01:05,065
[Booker] It's like a tug of war right now.

23
00:01:05,131 --> 00:01:07,600
-Who's gonna get that shot?
-[Vic] Charlie Dempsey, oh.

24
00:01:07,667 --> 00:01:10,603
-[Booker] Oh, man.
-[Vic] Bodies are falling.

25
00:01:10,670 --> 00:01:12,739
[all grunt]

26
00:01:12,806 --> 00:01:16,743
[Vic] Well, finally it looks like Edris
might have broke through the pack.

27
00:01:16,810 --> 00:01:19,479
Blade might have been able
to break through too.

28
00:01:19,946 --> 00:01:22,015
Lee I guess patiently waiting,
and here we go.

29
00:01:22,082 --> 00:01:24,417
-[Booker] Oh, here we…
-[Vic] Oh.

30
00:01:24,484 --> 00:01:27,487
-[Booker] [inaudible].
-[Vic] Oh!

31
00:01:27,554 --> 00:01:29,022
[Vic] Dabba-Kato.

32
00:01:29,089 --> 00:01:32,926
-Do you see that? [inaudible].
-[Vic] [inaudible].

33
00:01:32,992 --> 00:01:35,595
-[Vic] Apollo Crews.
-[audience cheering]

34
00:01:38,198 --> 00:01:40,533
[Vic] Crews, Dabba-Kato.

35
00:01:41,734 --> 00:01:44,471
Yeah! What are you gonna do, huh?

36
00:01:44,537 --> 00:01:47,607
-[Vic] And who the…
-[Booker] Whoa!

37
00:01:47,674 --> 00:01:49,909
-[Vic] No way, wait a minute.
-[Booker] Is that…

38
00:01:49,976 --> 00:01:52,112
-[bell ringing]
-[audience cheering]

39
00:01:52,178 --> 00:01:55,215
[Vic] The NXT universe.

40
00:01:55,281 --> 00:01:59,752
[audience chanting] Nathan! Nathan!
Nathan! Nathan! Nathan! Nathan!

41
00:01:59,819 --> 00:02:05,191
[Vic] Nathan Frazer,
as we still have chaos in the entryway,

42
00:02:05,258 --> 00:02:07,927
things is getting cleared up,
but, Book, you heard the bell.

43
00:02:07,994 --> 00:02:10,530
This North American Championship match
is underway.

44
00:02:10,597 --> 00:02:12,866
-[Booker] Oh, yes. It's on.
-[audience chanting] Welcome back!

45
00:02:12,932 --> 00:02:15,869
[Booker] And right now, Vic,
we got two competitors.

46
00:02:15,935 --> 00:02:19,239
[audience chanting] Welcome back!
Welcome back! Welcome back!

47
00:02:19,305 --> 00:02:20,840
[Booker] Welcome back.

48
00:02:20,907 --> 00:02:23,109
[Vic] There you see the NXT universe
on their feet.

49
00:02:23,176 --> 00:02:25,845
They haven't seen Nathan
since Halloween Havoc

50
00:02:25,912 --> 00:02:30,250
when he was competing amongst a field
in a multi-man ladder match

51
00:02:30,316 --> 00:02:31,985
for the North American Championship.

52
00:02:32,051 --> 00:02:35,121
As the shoulders down,
just able to reach out and kick out.

53
00:02:35,188 --> 00:02:37,056
But wow, this has to be an absolute shock

54
00:02:37,123 --> 00:02:41,594
because, I mean, Book, if Wes Lee
was to look across the roster of bodies

55
00:02:41,661 --> 00:02:43,830
and try to pick it out and make a guess,

56
00:02:43,897 --> 00:02:46,499
we haven't seen Nathan Frazer
since October.

57
00:02:46,566 --> 00:02:47,600
[Booker] It's been a minute.

58
00:02:47,667 --> 00:02:50,803
Last time I saw this guy in the ring
was against that kid Axiom

59
00:02:50,870 --> 00:02:54,474
and what an extravaganza
of a match they had.

60
00:02:54,541 --> 00:02:56,743
I'm glad to see him back.

61
00:02:56,809 --> 00:03:00,146
[Vic] He had all week to plot and plan.
No way Lee saw this coming.

62
00:03:00,213 --> 00:03:01,548
It's gotta be an obvious advantage.

63
00:03:01,614 --> 00:03:04,083
-The champion's at a disadvantage.
-[Booker] Let me tell you something,

64
00:03:04,150 --> 00:03:08,555
Wes Lee just keeps getting
better and better each and every day.

65
00:03:08,621 --> 00:03:10,156
This kid impresses me, Vic.

66
00:03:10,223 --> 00:03:12,158
[Vic] With all this chaos
that we've been talking about

67
00:03:12,225 --> 00:03:14,494
just to start the tonight here on NXT,

68
00:03:14,561 --> 00:03:17,430
we didn't even get to talk about
what happened at the end of last week

69
00:03:17,497 --> 00:03:20,233
when Grayson Waller
broke into the production truck

70
00:03:20,300 --> 00:03:24,370
and invited Shawn Michaels
on the Grayson Waller Effect at Roadblock.

71
00:03:24,437 --> 00:03:27,106
What will Shawn Michaels answer be

72
00:03:27,173 --> 00:03:29,976
as he will respond tonight
possibly on NXT?

73
00:03:30,043 --> 00:03:32,111
Also, Tyler Bate, Carmelo Hayes

74
00:03:32,178 --> 00:03:35,515
premium live event worthy main event
any night of the week.

75
00:03:35,582 --> 00:03:36,583
They're live tonight.

76
00:03:36,649 --> 00:03:39,052
And Meiko Satomura, the No.1 Contender

77
00:03:39,118 --> 00:03:41,788
for the NXT Women's Championship next week
at Roadblock,

78
00:03:41,854 --> 00:03:44,057
-will go one-on-one with Zoey Stark.
-[Booker] Oh!

79
00:03:44,123 --> 00:03:46,259
[Vic] We're kicking things off tonight
with a title on the line,

80
00:03:46,326 --> 00:03:49,128
it's the North American title
and it's the Wes Lee open challenge.

81
00:03:49,195 --> 00:03:51,664
[Booker] Yes, indeed.
Going back to Shawn Michaels and Waller,

82
00:03:51,731 --> 00:03:55,802
hope they can fix that situation,
I like that kid.

83
00:03:55,868 --> 00:03:56,936
[Vic] The other thing you like,

84
00:03:57,003 --> 00:03:59,839
you really do admire Lee
for holding these open challenges.

85
00:03:59,906 --> 00:04:04,510
[Booker] Let me tell you something,
ever since Vengeance Day versus Dijak,

86
00:04:04,577 --> 00:04:07,513
-this kid, he's on another level, Wes Lee.
-[audience chanting]

87
00:04:07,580 --> 00:04:10,850
[Booker] Right now Wes Lee,
he's in his own zone.

88
00:04:10,917 --> 00:04:14,387
[Vic] He certainly is. Another superstar
not afraid of an open challenge,

89
00:04:14,454 --> 00:04:20,126
that being John Cena, the 16-time champ
again returns this Monday on RAW.

90
00:04:20,193 --> 00:04:21,027
[Booker] Yes, indeed.

91
00:04:21,094 --> 00:04:24,731
John Cena and this man right here Wes Lee
cut from the same cloth.

92
00:04:24,797 --> 00:04:29,068
Two guys that's going to go out there
and work their behinds off to be best.

93
00:04:29,135 --> 00:04:32,639
-[Booker] I love it. Yes.
-[audience cheering]

94
00:04:33,239 --> 00:04:34,173
[Vic] A bit of a stalemate,

95
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,109
but look, Frazer's been waiting patiently
for months.

96
00:04:36,175 --> 00:04:39,445
Shoulders down, near-fall,
almost a brand-new champion,

97
00:04:39,512 --> 00:04:42,882
and what a way, Book, to kick off NXT.

98
00:04:42,949 --> 00:04:46,019
[Booker] Oh, man, this kid, Nathan Frazer,
he's technically sound.

99
00:04:46,085 --> 00:04:51,024
He can do just about anything
in that 20-by-20, Vic.

100
00:04:51,090 --> 00:04:54,360
[Vic] He certainly can. Look,
you see Wes Lee, the look in his eyes

101
00:04:54,427 --> 00:04:57,597
and you see the demeanor right now is…

102
00:04:57,664 --> 00:05:01,734
[Booker] Oh, don't think about it.
Don't do it. Don't. Don't. Don't. Don't.

103
00:05:01,801 --> 00:05:04,304
-[Vic] A little show of a sportsmanship.
-[Booker] I didn't like that move.

104
00:05:04,370 --> 00:05:06,773
[Vic] These two though
are very compatible, let's get…

105
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:08,241
I know you hate sportsmanship.

106
00:05:08,308 --> 00:05:11,511
[Booker] I didn't like that because
Nathan Frazer, he wants to be champion.

107
00:05:11,577 --> 00:05:14,714
It's not about being friends right now,
Vic, trust me.

108
00:05:14,781 --> 00:05:17,984
[Vic] I'm not arguing with you,
but I'm saying that these two guys are,

109
00:05:18,051 --> 00:05:20,119
you said cut from the same cloth
a moment ago,

110
00:05:20,186 --> 00:05:22,588
how comparable are the champion
and the challenger?

111
00:05:22,655 --> 00:05:25,158
[Booker] No, like I said,
mirror images of each other.

112
00:05:25,224 --> 00:05:28,094
I'm looking at a kid like Nathan Frazer,
and I'll tell you,

113
00:05:28,161 --> 00:05:32,365
he could be a champion anywhere
in the world, but this is NXT, man.

114
00:05:32,432 --> 00:05:35,401
This is the ocean,
he's swimming with sharks, man.

115
00:05:35,468 --> 00:05:37,804
I'm talking about makos,
I'm talking about hammerheads.

116
00:05:37,870 --> 00:05:39,405
-[Vic] Cover.
-[Booker] Whoa, whoa, whoa!

117
00:05:39,472 --> 00:05:42,008
I'm talking
about that great white shark, baby.

118
00:05:42,075 --> 00:05:43,276
We talking about Wes Lee.

119
00:05:43,342 --> 00:05:46,512
[Vic] Right now Wes Lee trying to control
the body of Frazer, keep him grounded.

120
00:05:46,579 --> 00:05:49,248
And Wes Lee might have to change his game
a little bit

121
00:05:49,315 --> 00:05:51,517
as who he thought he was preparing for.

122
00:05:51,584 --> 00:05:52,985
The question does linger though,

123
00:05:53,052 --> 00:05:56,856
what type of toll have all these
open challenges have taken on Wes Lee?

124
00:05:56,923 --> 00:05:58,324
[Booker] It's gonna take a toll on you.

125
00:05:58,391 --> 00:06:04,897
But I think Wes Lee's mindset is to stay
very, very sharp heading into Roadblock.

126
00:06:04,964 --> 00:06:08,901
Let me tell you, he's a two-dimensional,
maybe three-dimensional athlete.

127
00:06:08,968 --> 00:06:10,837
He can do it all, Vic, trust me.

128
00:06:10,903 --> 00:06:14,707
[Vic] Well, you talk about doing it all,
what kind of shark would Wes Lee be…

129
00:06:14,774 --> 00:06:18,644
[Booker] Like I said, Wes Lee,
he's on top, he's the champ.

130
00:06:18,711 --> 00:06:19,912
He is the great white.

131
00:06:19,979 --> 00:06:24,117
-[Vic] Whale shark?
-[Booker] He might be that memegalodon…

132
00:06:24,183 --> 00:06:26,452
-[Vic] You don't know what that is.
-[Booker] That's that big…

133
00:06:26,519 --> 00:06:29,589
[Vic] I think we need to focus back
on the action inside the ring here,

134
00:06:29,655 --> 00:06:33,059
as both these superstars vying for,
of course, the North American title.

135
00:06:33,126 --> 00:06:36,129
And again, the winner tonight,
he got a little bit of a clear path

136
00:06:36,195 --> 00:06:38,397
towards Stand & Deliver,
towards Los Angeles,

137
00:06:38,464 --> 00:06:40,266
-towards the WrestleMania weekend.
-[Booker] Oh, yes.

138
00:06:40,333 --> 00:06:44,537
That's what I'm talking about,
getting to that weekend healthy

139
00:06:44,604 --> 00:06:46,873
and ready to go,
that's what it's all about.

140
00:06:46,939 --> 00:06:50,810
And this kid Wes Lee
has been putting himself in situation.

141
00:06:52,678 --> 00:06:54,547
-[man 1] Let's go, Wes!
-[man 2] Let's go!

142
00:06:54,614 --> 00:06:58,351
[Vic] What is Frazer thinking about?
Oh, high-risk.

143
00:06:58,418 --> 00:07:00,086
And Lee just able to roll out of the way,

144
00:07:00,153 --> 00:07:03,089
and now Lee switching gears,
taking flight.

145
00:07:03,156 --> 00:07:06,359
-How… What the…
-[audience cheering]

146
00:07:06,426 --> 00:07:08,828
-[Vic] What are we… Ooh!
-[audience booing]

147
00:07:08,895 --> 00:07:11,898
[Booker] Hit the brakes
on that kid right there, Vic.

148
00:07:11,964 --> 00:07:15,802
[Vic] The pace was kicking.
It's all about the North American title.

149
00:07:15,868 --> 00:07:20,206
Can Wes Lee continue to roll
or will Frazer become the new champ?

150
00:07:22,942 --> 00:07:25,945
We're back live and
North American Championship on the line,

151
00:07:26,012 --> 00:07:30,683
another open challenge by our champion
Wes Lee, answered by Nathan Frazer.

152
00:07:30,750 --> 00:07:33,486
And we have not seen Nathan since October

153
00:07:33,553 --> 00:07:36,022
and the events we've talked about
from five months ago,

154
00:07:36,088 --> 00:07:38,090
how does that sit with a superstar

155
00:07:38,157 --> 00:07:40,359
who right now could be closing in
on the title?

156
00:07:40,426 --> 00:07:41,761
[Booker] I'm looking at Nathan Frazer.

157
00:07:41,828 --> 00:07:43,696
One thing about it,
when you're sitting on the sideline,

158
00:07:43,763 --> 00:07:47,033
watching that parade go by, Vic,
you can get hungry.

159
00:07:47,099 --> 00:07:49,902
I'm talking about real hungry,
and this kid Nathan Frazer,

160
00:07:49,969 --> 00:07:53,472
right now he's looking to cash in
tonight on Wes Lee.

161
00:07:53,539 --> 00:07:56,742
-I like it.
-[Vic] Well, he's taking a look around

162
00:07:56,809 --> 00:07:58,678
and he could be looking for another
high-risk.

163
00:07:58,744 --> 00:08:00,813
-Will he get the reward?
-[Booker] Oh, yes.

164
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:05,484
[Vic] If he hits this, we could have
a new North American Champion. Oh!

165
00:08:05,551 --> 00:08:08,387
[Vic] Able to roll right through,
charges back in, nice reversal,

166
00:08:08,454 --> 00:08:10,857
counter, big swing
and a miss by the champion.

167
00:08:10,923 --> 00:08:12,158
Challenger swing and a miss.

168
00:08:12,225 --> 00:08:15,061
Both superstars,
big collision center of the ring.

169
00:08:15,127 --> 00:08:16,262
[Booker] Wow.

170
00:08:16,329 --> 00:08:21,868
[audience chanting] NXT! NXT! NXT! NXT!
NXT!

171
00:08:21,934 --> 00:08:26,539
[Vic] Back to some of this action,
just feel this impact, bam!

172
00:08:26,606 --> 00:08:29,976
And then he also, Wes Lee,
ricocheted off the middle turnbuckle,

173
00:08:30,042 --> 00:08:34,380
and boom, same superstars
with the same mindset, same thought.

174
00:08:34,447 --> 00:08:38,117
[Booker] Like a car crash
on I-95 right there, Vic.

175
00:08:38,684 --> 00:08:43,856
[audience chanting] This is awesome!
This is awesome!

176
00:08:43,923 --> 00:08:46,526
[Vic] What a way to kick off NXT.

177
00:08:46,592 --> 00:08:49,929
Book, Wes Lee said
he was gonna start the show.

178
00:08:49,996 --> 00:08:53,733
I don't think we had this in mind,
this has been chaos since the jump.

179
00:08:53,799 --> 00:08:58,304
[Booker] It just goes to show you
what this kid is truly made of, Vic.

180
00:08:58,371 --> 00:09:01,641
Not resting on his laurels,
always ready to go out there

181
00:09:01,707 --> 00:09:04,777
and compete at the highest level.
I love that.

182
00:09:04,844 --> 00:09:07,446
[Vic] Wes Lee couldn't connect,
Frazer goes up and over.

183
00:09:07,513 --> 00:09:09,649
-Caught Lee, and now drop Lee.
-[thuds]

184
00:09:09,715 --> 00:09:12,118
-This could be it. Are we in for a shock?
-[Booker] Wow. Oh, no.

185
00:09:12,184 --> 00:09:14,587
[Vic] Cover! Oh, ho, ho, ho!

186
00:09:14,654 --> 00:09:17,523
[Booker] Vic, you talk about all that
wear and tear on the body,

187
00:09:17,590 --> 00:09:19,258
that's got to catch up
with you sooner or later.

188
00:09:19,325 --> 00:09:20,593
I thought this was it right here.

189
00:09:20,660 --> 00:09:25,798
[Vic] Up and around, and Frazer planting
the champion and was so close.

190
00:09:25,865 --> 00:09:28,134
[Booker] What a shot, right in the middle
of the ring right there.

191
00:09:28,200 --> 00:09:30,937
I'm going to tell you,
Wes Lee just had to have the wherewithal,

192
00:09:31,003 --> 00:09:35,508
the understanding and know how
to just kick out at the last second. Wow.

193
00:09:35,574 --> 00:09:37,176
[Vic] Wes Lee has been
a fighting champion.

194
00:09:37,243 --> 00:09:39,078
He has opened the door, just like tonight,

195
00:09:39,145 --> 00:09:41,480
to anyone that wants
to answer the challenge,

196
00:09:41,547 --> 00:09:43,916
anyone that wants that opportunity.

197
00:09:43,983 --> 00:09:46,519
He has worn his heart on his sleeve,
has Wes Lee,

198
00:09:46,586 --> 00:09:50,589
but has that toll,
has it taken its toll on our champion?

199
00:09:50,656 --> 00:09:52,992
[Booker] I must say,
I've got so much respect for this kid.

200
00:09:53,059 --> 00:09:58,331
Wes Lee understands what holding that
North American Championship is all about.

201
00:09:58,397 --> 00:10:00,666
-But this is a pit stop for this kid.
-[Vic] Whoa, whoa, whoa.

202
00:10:00,733 --> 00:10:04,270
[Booker] This guy wants the stars,
he wants every…

203
00:10:04,337 --> 00:10:07,340
[Vic] Frazer could he be taking a play
out of the book

204
00:10:07,406 --> 00:10:11,210
from his mentor Seth "Freakin" Rollins
all the way at the top?

205
00:10:11,277 --> 00:10:13,546
Lee doing his best to battle right now.

206
00:10:13,613 --> 00:10:16,415
Very precarious position
for both these superstars.

207
00:10:16,482 --> 00:10:19,218
[Booker] Oh, look at the balance.
Look at the balance on Frazer right there.

208
00:10:19,285 --> 00:10:21,220
-[Vic] On right back to the top.
-[Booker] Very quick.

209
00:10:21,287 --> 00:10:23,456
[Vic] First you don't succeed, try again.

210
00:10:23,522 --> 00:10:25,257
-[Booker] Oh, yeah.
-[Vic] Roll through.

211
00:10:25,324 --> 00:10:29,595
-He held on, up and down.
-[Booker] Oh, man.

212
00:10:29,662 --> 00:10:33,165
[Vic] Cover, and we… No!

213
00:10:33,232 --> 00:10:35,134
-[Booker] Let me tell you…
-[Vic laughs]

214
00:10:35,201 --> 00:10:39,205
[Booker] …Wes Lee right now,
he's in dire straits, man.

215
00:10:39,271 --> 00:10:41,140
-I've never seen him in this…
-[Vic] Boom!

216
00:10:41,207 --> 00:10:42,875
[Booker] I've never seen him
in this much trouble,

217
00:10:42,942 --> 00:10:44,110
even with the bigger guys.

218
00:10:44,176 --> 00:10:47,646
This kid Frazer,
he's taking it to another level.

219
00:10:47,713 --> 00:10:48,648
[audience] One, two…

220
00:10:48,714 --> 00:10:51,384
-[Vic] So close.
-[Booker] Wow.

221
00:10:51,450 --> 00:10:56,322
[Vic] And the NXT universe right now
showing their love for both superstars.

222
00:10:56,389 --> 00:11:01,894
[audience chanting] This is awesome.
This is awesome.

223
00:11:01,961 --> 00:11:03,696
[audience chanting] This is awesome.

224
00:11:03,763 --> 00:11:07,433
[Vic] At this point, Book, it may not be
about who has more skill.

225
00:11:07,500 --> 00:11:09,568
Oh, it may be about who has more will.

226
00:11:09,635 --> 00:11:12,805
[Booker] Let me tell you something,
I just saw a look in this kid's eyes…

227
00:11:12,872 --> 00:11:17,543
Oh, yes. Oh, yes,
that look just turned into something else.

228
00:11:17,610 --> 00:11:18,744
This kid got a lot of heart.

229
00:11:18,811 --> 00:11:22,548
He's got a lot of heart, Vic,
but tonight's a little bit different.

230
00:11:22,615 --> 00:11:28,120
[Vic] Wes Lee, as Frazer…
What's Frazer thinking?

231
00:11:28,921 --> 00:11:32,091
He can't think… about it.

232
00:11:32,158 --> 00:11:34,827
-[audience] Oh!
-[Booker] Oh, no!

233
00:11:34,894 --> 00:11:38,631
[audience chattering]

234
00:11:38,698 --> 00:11:41,834
[Vic] Both these superstars
laying it on the line,

235
00:11:41,901 --> 00:11:43,703
and now Lee back to his feet.

236
00:11:43,769 --> 00:11:47,773
-[Booker] Oh, my goodness.
-[audience cheering]

237
00:11:49,241 --> 00:11:51,377
[Vic] I don't know if I want this match
to end, Book.

238
00:11:51,444 --> 00:11:52,778
[Booker] Oh, Vic.

239
00:11:52,845 --> 00:11:56,882
-[Vic] Can I get a shucky-ducky?
-[Booker] Shucky-ducky, quack, quack.

240
00:11:56,949 --> 00:11:59,285
[Vic] Wes Lee's looking
for that Kardiak Kick.

241
00:11:59,351 --> 00:12:00,519
[Booker] Goodnight.

242
00:12:02,288 --> 00:12:03,689
[Vic] Into the cover.

243
00:12:03,756 --> 00:12:06,625
-And the Kardiak Kick does it again.
-[bell ringing]

244
00:12:06,692 --> 00:12:08,227
["Assemble" playing]

245
00:12:08,294 --> 00:12:14,366
[Alicia] Here is your winner
and still the NXT North American Champion,

246
00:12:14,433 --> 00:12:16,502
-Wes Lee.
-[audience cheering]

247
00:12:16,569 --> 00:12:18,370
[Vic] Take a look around.

248
00:12:18,437 --> 00:12:23,375
The NXT universe is on their feet
showing their admiration

249
00:12:23,442 --> 00:12:27,113
for both the champion and the challenger.

250
00:12:27,179 --> 00:12:30,015
[audience chanting] Wes! Wes! Wes!

251
00:12:30,082 --> 00:12:32,351
[Vic] And some of this sight,

252
00:12:32,418 --> 00:12:36,288
you talk about as close as it gets,
almost right here in our laps.

253
00:12:36,355 --> 00:12:38,824
Both superstars crash and burn,

254
00:12:38,891 --> 00:12:42,294
but in the end, a lot of risks
were taken in this matchup.

255
00:12:42,361 --> 00:12:46,198
Ant the biggest risk of all
was from Wes Lee, and it paid off to open,

256
00:12:46,265 --> 00:12:49,602
then bam,
a door for that patented Kardiak Kick,

257
00:12:49,668 --> 00:12:55,674
and Wes Lee, again, successfully defends
his title in his open challenge.

258
00:12:56,909 --> 00:13:01,380
-["Assemble" playing]
-[audience applauding]

259
00:13:04,183 --> 00:13:08,354
[audience applauding]

260
00:13:13,659 --> 00:13:18,330
[Vic] What a moment
and what a way to kick off NXT.

261
00:13:27,573 --> 00:13:30,442
[McDonagh] If you're ever unfortunate
enough to suffer a retinal tear,

262
00:13:30,509 --> 00:13:34,446
the entire back of your eyeball,
all the blood vessels and tissue

263
00:13:34,513 --> 00:13:39,518
that feed your eye with oxygen
and nutrients is ripped entirely away.

264
00:13:40,653 --> 00:13:44,790
Emergency surgery is required if you don't
wanna lose the eyeball permanently.

265
00:13:46,992 --> 00:13:49,795
Dragunov, I don't expect you to know
what that feels like,

266
00:13:49,862 --> 00:13:51,997
but I promise you, you will.

267
00:13:52,865 --> 00:13:56,602
Between your pension for enduring pain
and my love inflicting it,

268
00:13:56,669 --> 00:13:58,871
I know that our next battle
is gonna be the beautiful,

269
00:13:58,938 --> 00:14:02,274
destructive symphony
that you so deeply desire.

270
00:14:03,642 --> 00:14:05,311
You are an in-ring warrior

271
00:14:05,377 --> 00:14:08,881
and you do have the highest threshold
for pain of anyone I've ever dealt with,

272
00:14:09,782 --> 00:14:14,386
but just assure as my vision's coming back
and my eye is leering to refocus,

273
00:14:14,453 --> 00:14:16,822
I am going to push you
beyond your barriers,

274
00:14:16,889 --> 00:14:18,490
to places you've never been before.

275
00:14:19,692 --> 00:14:23,095
You will suffer,
and I will break your will…

276
00:14:24,396 --> 00:14:27,733
and I will send you home permanently.

277
00:14:32,671 --> 00:14:35,808
You good? We got some big boys
standing across from us tonight.

278
00:14:35,875 --> 00:14:37,543
Yes. I'm good.

279
00:14:37,610 --> 00:14:39,812
What's going on?
I can tell when you're sad.

280
00:14:39,878 --> 00:14:41,347
Get it off your chest.

281
00:14:41,780 --> 00:14:44,450
It's just me and Kiana, we…

282
00:14:45,551 --> 00:14:47,486
-Damn. Y'all broke up.
-No.

283
00:14:47,553 --> 00:14:51,156
Oh. Oh, God. No. Could you imagine
what that would do to my heart?

284
00:14:51,223 --> 00:14:52,224
Yes. It'd be a disaster.

285
00:14:52,291 --> 00:14:55,794
It's just since Valentine's Day,
it hasn't been the same.

286
00:14:55,861 --> 00:14:58,264
Something feels off
and I don't know what I can do.

287
00:14:58,330 --> 00:15:03,669
-I just don't know what I can do.
-Dude, it's because you're stupid.

288
00:15:03,736 --> 00:15:06,572
-Excuse me?
-Look, I'm stupid too.

289
00:15:06,639 --> 00:15:11,043
We're men and when it comes to women,
we ain't exactly astrophysicist, brother.

290
00:15:11,110 --> 00:15:14,980
-We want to zig when they want us to zag.
-But I want to zag.

291
00:15:16,482 --> 00:15:20,219
Look, what I'm trying to say is,
it doesn't matter.

292
00:15:20,286 --> 00:15:23,289
The Brooks from six months ago,
if he could see you today,

293
00:15:23,355 --> 00:15:26,225
he would be so damn proud of you, man.

294
00:15:26,292 --> 00:15:27,893
-You think so?
-Absolutely.

295
00:15:27,960 --> 00:15:30,462
Forget about the Kiana stuff.
It'll figure itself out. All right?

296
00:15:30,529 --> 00:15:32,464
-They will. Yes.
-Good. Smile. All right?

297
00:15:32,531 --> 00:15:36,268
-Got the smile. Yes.
-Let's roll, man. Let's roll, bro.

298
00:15:36,335 --> 00:15:39,605
-[Vic] Tag team action next.
-Brooks, I said let's roll.

299
00:15:41,540 --> 00:15:45,010
[Tyler] Tyler Bate, the pioneer.

300
00:15:45,577 --> 00:15:48,080
[Vic] Two-time
NXT United Kingdom Champion.

301
00:15:48,147 --> 00:15:52,084
We are about to embark
on a mystical journey together.

302
00:15:52,151 --> 00:15:56,388
[audience chanting] Big Strong Boi!
Big Strong Boi! Big Strong Boi!

303
00:15:57,556 --> 00:15:58,824
[Vic] Big Strong Boi!

304
00:15:58,891 --> 00:16:01,560
-[upbeat music playing]
-[audience cheering]

305
00:16:02,027 --> 00:16:05,698
-[Vic] Bang, right under the jaw.
-[Booker] This guy's good. He's good.

306
00:16:05,764 --> 00:16:10,769
[Tyler] I'm back to face new challenges,
and this time I'm staying.

307
00:16:14,039 --> 00:16:15,307
Tyler Bate goes one-on-one

308
00:16:15,374 --> 00:16:17,443
with Carmelo Hayes
in tonight's main event,

309
00:16:17,509 --> 00:16:18,844
but with me now is Hank Walker.

310
00:16:18,911 --> 00:16:20,646
Hank, earlier tonight, you were involved

311
00:16:20,713 --> 00:16:23,248
in the wild brawl
for Wes Lee's open challenge.

312
00:16:23,315 --> 00:16:25,117
Were you gunning
for the North American Championship

313
00:16:25,184 --> 00:16:27,586
or you were looking to get a piece
of Drew Gulak?

314
00:16:27,653 --> 00:16:30,723
A little bit of both.
I really want to prove to Drew.

315
00:16:30,789 --> 00:16:33,325
Not just Drew, to everybody,
that I belong in NXT,

316
00:16:33,392 --> 00:16:35,060
and winning
the North American Championship

317
00:16:35,127 --> 00:16:36,261
would definitely do that.

318
00:16:36,328 --> 00:16:39,198
It's just when I saw Drew and Charlie,
I started seeing red

319
00:16:39,264 --> 00:16:40,265
-and something…
-[Axiom] Hey.

320
00:16:40,332 --> 00:16:44,002
-What the hell was that?
-Accident, bro. I'm sorry, man.

321
00:16:44,069 --> 00:16:46,271
It got hectic out there
and [inaudible] caught in the cross fire.

322
00:16:46,338 --> 00:16:48,474
Cross fire? You nearly knocked me out.

323
00:16:48,540 --> 00:16:51,477
I didn't mean to kick you in the face.
That kick was meant for Drew. All right?

324
00:16:51,543 --> 00:16:54,279
-I'm sorry, I didn't wanna make a problem…
-Oh, no, we have a problem,

325
00:16:54,346 --> 00:16:56,482
because you cost me an opportunity
for the North American title.

326
00:16:56,548 --> 00:16:58,384
I said I'm sorry.
This isn't nothing to worry about.

327
00:16:58,450 --> 00:17:00,052
Come on. You weren't even going to beat…

328
00:17:00,119 --> 00:17:02,955
I wasn't going to what? Huh?
I wasn't going to beat Wes?

329
00:17:03,021 --> 00:17:05,023
-Is that what you were going to say?
-Hey, hey, hey!

330
00:17:05,090 --> 00:17:08,260
You said I wasn't going to beat Wes?

331
00:17:08,327 --> 00:17:10,396
Is that what you think?
You don't think I can beat him?

332
00:17:10,462 --> 00:17:12,331
-Huh? [inaudible].
-[referee] It's not worth it.

333
00:17:12,398 --> 00:17:18,604
[Vic] The chaos of tonight continues
as NXT is brought to you by Cricket.

334
00:17:18,670 --> 00:17:21,940
Smile, you're on Cricket.

335
00:17:22,641 --> 00:17:23,475
[bell ringing]

336
00:17:23,542 --> 00:17:25,878
[Alicia] The following contest
is a tag team match

337
00:17:25,944 --> 00:17:27,146
scheduled for one fall.

338
00:17:27,212 --> 00:17:33,018
Introducing first, the team
of Josh Briggs and Brooks Jensen.

339
00:17:33,085 --> 00:17:34,019
[Vic] As you were saying?

340
00:17:34,086 --> 00:17:36,021
[Booker] That's all I wanted to say.
That was it.

341
00:17:36,088 --> 00:17:38,157
-[Vic] You didn't say…
-[Booker] You get my point.

342
00:17:38,223 --> 00:17:39,124
[Vic] I get your point.

343
00:17:39,191 --> 00:17:41,193
I also got the point
that Brooks Jensen made,

344
00:17:41,260 --> 00:17:45,130
that his Valentine date
was nothing short of a catastrophe.

345
00:17:45,197 --> 00:17:47,599
-["Tiranga" playing]
-[audience booing]

346
00:17:47,666 --> 00:17:48,867
[Alicia] And their opponents,

347
00:17:48,934 --> 00:17:54,440
-accompanied by Jinder Mahal, Indus Sher.
-[audience booing]

348
00:17:54,506 --> 00:17:57,676
[Vic] No love, no remorse for Indus Sher.

349
00:17:57,743 --> 00:18:02,214
And nothing short of dominant, Book,
except for last week.

350
00:18:02,281 --> 00:18:05,684
[Booker] Let's forget about that.
Let me ask you a question.

351
00:18:05,751 --> 00:18:09,721
Who's the hungriest tag team in NXT?

352
00:18:09,788 --> 00:18:15,194
I'll answer that for you.
It's Indus Sher. It's Sanga. It's Veer.

353
00:18:15,260 --> 00:18:21,133
And who's at the helm?
The modern-day Maharaja Jinder Mahal.

354
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:24,536
This team is going to be hell
to deal with.

355
00:18:24,603 --> 00:18:26,939
I love it, man. I love it.

356
00:18:27,005 --> 00:18:28,774
[Vic] I liked how you danced around
last week

357
00:18:28,841 --> 00:18:31,777
in Jinder Mahal's NXT Championship match
against Bron Breakker,

358
00:18:31,844 --> 00:18:33,111
which Breakker retained,

359
00:18:33,178 --> 00:18:34,580
-but we will move on.
-[bell ringing]

360
00:18:34,646 --> 00:18:36,915
[Vic] I do want to point out,
Jinder Mahal is ringside,

361
00:18:36,982 --> 00:18:39,051
but Kiana and Fallon are not.

362
00:18:39,118 --> 00:18:41,120
Of course, Brooks is upset at Fallon,

363
00:18:41,186 --> 00:18:43,989
Kiana not here due to the rocky road
that Jensen talked about.

364
00:18:44,056 --> 00:18:48,227
I mean, it's got to be hard
to stay focused since Valentine's Day.

365
00:18:48,293 --> 00:18:52,631
[Booker] Vic, it's no time to be thinking
about the ladies right now.

366
00:18:52,698 --> 00:18:56,635
A match like this,
you got to be laser-focused.

367
00:18:56,702 --> 00:18:58,770
This match requires focus, Vic.

368
00:18:58,837 --> 00:19:03,108
[Vic] Sanga right now is focused
on just decimating Brooks Jensen,

369
00:19:03,175 --> 00:19:05,043
and Jensen right now,
oh, able to slip down.

370
00:19:05,110 --> 00:19:08,447
Finally gets back into it.
Brooks Jensen, he's in love.

371
00:19:08,514 --> 00:19:10,249
-[Booker] No.
-[Vic] Is this love that he's feeling?

372
00:19:10,315 --> 00:19:11,650
[Vic] Is this the love
he's been searching for?

373
00:19:11,717 --> 00:19:13,118
I get that. I get that.

374
00:19:13,185 --> 00:19:17,256
Not having a girlfriend before,
and for the first time, you're in love.

375
00:19:17,322 --> 00:19:20,058
I get that,
but tonight, this match right here,

376
00:19:20,125 --> 00:19:22,628
you gotta stay focused
because here's the thing.

377
00:19:22,694 --> 00:19:23,529
You can get hurt.

378
00:19:23,595 --> 00:19:27,933
With these guys, Indus Sher,
you can get injured real, real bad.

379
00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:30,302
[Vic] Book, Briggs was looking for a tag

380
00:19:30,369 --> 00:19:33,238
and Jensen wasn't paying attention
until finally now.

381
00:19:33,305 --> 00:19:35,841
[Booker] This kid's nose
is still wide open.

382
00:19:35,908 --> 00:19:40,412
He's thinking about that honey,
and I get it. I get it.

383
00:19:40,479 --> 00:19:42,347
[Vic] Right now he's trying to look
for a victory.

384
00:19:42,414 --> 00:19:45,817
Do you remember a time that you had
to snap Stevie Ray out of a funk?

385
00:19:45,884 --> 00:19:48,287
[Booker] Look, I remember
he was always in the game,

386
00:19:48,353 --> 00:19:51,557
and women was secondary to us
going out there,

387
00:19:51,623 --> 00:19:53,759
getting checks and championships.

388
00:19:53,825 --> 00:19:56,962
That's what Veer and Sanga
is on their way to.

389
00:19:57,029 --> 00:20:00,032
-Disrespected for so long, but no more.
-[Vic] Boom!

390
00:20:00,098 --> 00:20:02,067
[Booker] Oh, yes. Oh, yes.

391
00:20:02,134 --> 00:20:03,869
[Vic] There's that domination
you were talking about.

392
00:20:03,936 --> 00:20:06,271
Again, as we've already mentioned,
going back to last week,

393
00:20:06,338 --> 00:20:09,741
Veer and Sanga,
and they cannot be in a good mood.

394
00:20:09,808 --> 00:20:11,944
[Booker] Oh, yes,
I want to see it one time.

395
00:20:12,010 --> 00:20:14,746
I just want to see it one time
with these two.

396
00:20:14,813 --> 00:20:17,516
Bring that man in there and do it.

397
00:20:17,583 --> 00:20:21,587
-Oh, yes.
-[Vic] Tag team continuity.

398
00:20:21,653 --> 00:20:24,189
Look, Indus Sher, they talk about honor,

399
00:20:24,256 --> 00:20:28,460
they talk about how they wanna be treated,
but they don't treat others the same way.

400
00:20:28,527 --> 00:20:31,196
[Booker] Come on.
You can only take it for so long.

401
00:20:31,263 --> 00:20:34,600
When I look at this team, Indus Sher,
when I look at Sanga,

402
00:20:34,666 --> 00:20:37,669
when I look at Veer right now,
they think about one thing.

403
00:20:37,736 --> 00:20:39,805
There's only one thing on the menu.

404
00:20:39,871 --> 00:20:45,143
-No bread, no water, just meat.
-[Vic] I'm not getting in on that one.

405
00:20:45,210 --> 00:20:48,347
As tag team action, and Jinder Mahal,
of course, watching on the outside.

406
00:20:48,413 --> 00:20:51,650
Jensen though, and I wonder
where his mind is at this moment.

407
00:20:51,717 --> 00:20:54,319
You see the frustration
building on his tag team partner Briggs.

408
00:20:54,386 --> 00:20:57,322
-There's a big slam there from Sanga.
-[groans]

409
00:20:57,389 --> 00:21:00,025
[Booker] It's definitely
gotta be frustrating seeing your partner

410
00:21:00,092 --> 00:21:01,760
-go through something like this.
-[thuds]

411
00:21:01,827 --> 00:21:03,228
He's got to get back in the game

412
00:21:03,295 --> 00:21:05,430
-because like I said…
-[Vic] There we go.

413
00:21:05,497 --> 00:21:10,235
[Booker] …this may be the biggest match
of Briggs and Jensen's short career.

414
00:21:10,302 --> 00:21:11,503
[Vic] They're trying to bounce back,

415
00:21:11,570 --> 00:21:13,639
of course,
former NXT UK Tag Team Champions.

416
00:21:13,705 --> 00:21:16,241
They've come up short on a few occasions.
Tag was made.

417
00:21:16,308 --> 00:21:19,578
Jensen is now legal,
and maybe here, maybe here, Book,

418
00:21:19,645 --> 00:21:21,847
Briggs and Jensen
may have gotten out of that funk.

419
00:21:21,913 --> 00:21:25,317
[Booker] No, this kid Josh Briggs,
he knows what this thing is all about.

420
00:21:25,384 --> 00:21:30,188
This kid right here,
he's special, when he's…

421
00:21:30,255 --> 00:21:33,025
-Back inside, Brooks.
-What are you doing, man?

422
00:21:33,859 --> 00:21:35,861
-Two.
-Get your head in this.

423
00:21:36,361 --> 00:21:38,897
Three. Four.

424
00:21:38,964 --> 00:21:40,365
[Vic] Briggs said get your head
in the game

425
00:21:40,432 --> 00:21:41,933
and again Jensen, is he focused?

426
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:43,168
[Booker] He wasn't even legal.

427
00:21:43,235 --> 00:21:45,637
[Vic] He was legal,
but he didn't make it to the outside,

428
00:21:45,704 --> 00:21:47,372
and then he took a ride.

429
00:21:47,439 --> 00:21:50,842
Did you see how high Jensen went?
Tag was made.

430
00:21:50,909 --> 00:21:51,777
Veer is legal.

431
00:21:51,843 --> 00:21:56,848
Briggs has been isolated, and I don't like
Jensen's chances at this moment.

432
00:21:56,915 --> 00:22:01,119
-[Vic] Bam!
-[Booker] My God. Man.

433
00:22:01,186 --> 00:22:02,454
-[screams]
-[audience] One, two…

434
00:22:02,521 --> 00:22:05,590
-[Vic] As Jinder Mahal looks on.
-[bell ringing]

435
00:22:06,725 --> 00:22:10,195
[Alicia] Here are your winners,
Indus Sher.

436
00:22:10,262 --> 00:22:13,465
[Vic] Path of destruction here tonight.

437
00:22:13,532 --> 00:22:15,000
-[Booker] Yes.
-["Tiranga" playing]

438
00:22:16,468 --> 00:22:22,274
[Vic] Let's go. Look at the height,
and then feel that impact,

439
00:22:22,341 --> 00:22:25,677
and wisely making the tag,
isolating Briggs, and then boom.

440
00:22:25,744 --> 00:22:27,913
-[Booker] Oh, yeah. Can I say it, Vic?
-[Vic] Go ahead.

441
00:22:27,979 --> 00:22:32,584
[Booker] The future Tag Team Champions,
Indus Sher.

442
00:22:32,651 --> 00:22:36,922
Creed Bothers,
you've deprived the great nation of India

443
00:22:36,988 --> 00:22:39,825
a new NXT Champion.

444
00:22:39,891 --> 00:22:43,228
The two of you have overcome
every obstacle in your life,

445
00:22:43,295 --> 00:22:45,897
except for Indus Sher.

446
00:22:45,964 --> 00:22:47,899
And that will never change.

447
00:22:47,966 --> 00:22:53,905
The three of us are ready to finish this.
Now the question is, are you?

448
00:22:55,607 --> 00:22:58,810
We have given you a beating in the past,
but at Roadblock,

449
00:22:58,877 --> 00:23:01,947
it will be ten times worse.

450
00:23:02,881 --> 00:23:04,082
-[screams]
-["Sher (Lion)" playing]

451
00:23:04,149 --> 00:23:06,551
[Vic] Look, the Creeds
have never backed down.

452
00:23:06,618 --> 00:23:11,690
But who are they going to find
to even the odds next week at Roadblock?

453
00:23:12,791 --> 00:23:16,061
[narrator] This NXT highlight
is brought to you by Cricket.

454
00:23:17,095 --> 00:23:19,431
Smile, you're on Cricket.

455
00:23:19,498 --> 00:23:21,333
[Jacy] Jacy Jayne.

456
00:23:21,399 --> 00:23:23,235
[Vic] There is Jacy Jayne

457
00:23:23,301 --> 00:23:26,338
who for the first time
since the Toxic Explosion

458
00:23:26,405 --> 00:23:29,074
will showcase
more of her toxic behavior.

459
00:23:29,141 --> 00:23:31,710
She goes one-on-one with Indi Hartwell.

460
00:23:31,777 --> 00:23:33,879
It's about me!

461
00:23:34,479 --> 00:23:36,148
-[Booker] What the…
-[Vic] It's Dolin.

462
00:23:36,214 --> 00:23:37,449
[Booker] Oh, yeah!

463
00:23:37,516 --> 00:23:39,584
[Vic] Looking for a little bit of payback.

464
00:23:41,086 --> 00:23:42,687
[Booker] Oh, whoa.

465
00:23:42,754 --> 00:23:48,093
[Vic] Gigi Dolin is unleashing hell
onto Jacy Jayne.

466
00:23:51,062 --> 00:23:55,567
[Vic] Well, look, for the first time
since the implosion of Toxic Attraction,

467
00:23:55,634 --> 00:23:58,103
we will hear from Gigi Dolin.

468
00:23:58,170 --> 00:24:01,640
And that's going to happen next live
on NXT.

469
00:24:04,309 --> 00:24:06,578
[Vic] Welcome back. This happened
during the commercial break.

470
00:24:06,645 --> 00:24:08,447
Yes. Yes. It was from mid-winter.

471
00:24:08,513 --> 00:24:10,715
So we're going to talk about your return,
your match tonight.

472
00:24:10,782 --> 00:24:11,983
Yes, just standard stuff.

473
00:24:12,050 --> 00:24:14,319
McKenzie, Nathan, standby,
we're live to you guys in two minutes.

474
00:24:14,386 --> 00:24:15,387
-Thanks.
-You're welcome.

475
00:24:15,454 --> 00:24:17,923
Hey, doc, do you mind quickly,
I don't know, about massaging my neck?

476
00:24:17,989 --> 00:24:19,391
-Yes, I'll take a look at it.
-It's bad.

477
00:24:19,457 --> 00:24:20,425

-[Hartwell] Doc?

479
00:24:21,827 --> 00:24:24,029
We need you outside. It's Wendy.
Something happened. Come on.

480
00:24:24,095 --> 00:24:26,031
-I'll be right back.
-Yeh, yeah. Go, go, go.

481
00:24:26,097 --> 00:24:27,432
Just go with them.

482
00:24:28,433 --> 00:24:31,303
-[Hartwell] I don't know what happened.

Can you sit? We're going to get you
over to the medical center. Careful now.

487
00:24:43,782 --> 00:24:46,051
[Vic] We are hoping to get an update

488
00:24:46,117 --> 00:24:49,921
on what just transpired
with Wendy Choo throughout the show.

489
00:24:49,988 --> 00:24:52,257
["Toxic" playing]

490
00:24:56,695 --> 00:25:00,499
[Alicia] Please welcome, Gigi Dolin.

491
00:25:01,566 --> 00:25:03,902
[Vic] And the NXT universe, Book,
has been wondering

492
00:25:03,969 --> 00:25:08,039
what has been going through the mind
of Gigi Dolin

493
00:25:08,106 --> 00:25:11,843
because she returned
with such vengeance and furious anger.

494
00:25:11,910 --> 00:25:14,579
Cut this music. Cut it.

495
00:25:15,847 --> 00:25:19,584
That's the last time
you will hear this awful song.

496
00:25:19,651 --> 00:25:22,654
So I'm going to keep it to the point
because unlike Jacy,

497
00:25:22,721 --> 00:25:25,991
I don't love the sound of my own voice
running on and on.

498
00:25:27,058 --> 00:25:29,794
Three weeks ago, my life changed

499
00:25:29,861 --> 00:25:33,665
as my skull was crushed against the door
in this ring.

500
00:25:34,633 --> 00:25:36,801
But don't worry, don't worry.

501
00:25:36,868 --> 00:25:41,740
This isn't the first time I've had to deal
with big life-altering changes.

502
00:25:43,675 --> 00:25:47,545
This isn't the first time I've had
my head kicked in by someone I trusted,

503
00:25:47,612 --> 00:25:50,215
someone I considered family.

504
00:25:50,282 --> 00:25:54,686
I can deal with the physical pain,
I can handle the personal betrayal

505
00:25:54,753 --> 00:26:01,159
because in trying to boot my head off,
you made me realize who I really am, Jacy.

[audience chattering]

507
00:26:02,694 --> 00:26:08,366
You will always be about the superficial,
surface-level things,

508
00:26:08,433 --> 00:26:11,102
wanting the money, the fame, the glitz,
the glamor.

509
00:26:11,169 --> 00:26:14,773
That is all Toxic Attraction
was ever about.

510
00:26:15,540 --> 00:26:19,477
Hell, it was fun
being the mean girl for a while.

511
00:26:19,544 --> 00:26:22,547
It was a way for you to channel
your insecurities, Jacy,

512
00:26:22,614 --> 00:26:26,084
but it was a way for me
to channel my inner demons

513
00:26:26,151 --> 00:26:31,156
because deep down,
I've always been happy to just survive.

515
00:26:35,627 --> 00:26:41,900
Jacy, you know this because I trusted you.
I shared everything with you.

516
00:26:41,967 --> 00:26:45,570
You know the last person I let betray me
the way you did

517
00:26:45,637 --> 00:26:49,107
and beat me down was my own mother.

518
00:26:50,508 --> 00:26:53,645
She used me as her personal punching bag
for years.

519
00:26:53,712 --> 00:26:58,183
And when I finally got the courage
to run away from home as a teenager,

520
00:26:58,249 --> 00:27:02,721
I was determined to show my little brother
that I could make it in WWE,

521
00:27:02,787 --> 00:27:08,059
so we can escape, we can escape
the constant cycle of pain and suffering.

522
00:27:08,126 --> 00:27:11,997
Jacy, you don't know a hundredth
of what I've been through.

523
00:27:12,063 --> 00:27:13,565
[audience chattering]

524
00:27:13,631 --> 00:27:15,567
You say you're the last woman standing,

525
00:27:15,634 --> 00:27:18,570
but I have been knocked down
time and time again,

526
00:27:18,637 --> 00:27:20,705
but I have gotten right back up.

[audience applauding]

528
00:27:23,975 --> 00:27:30,048
And next week, at Roadblock,
bring everything you have,

529
00:27:30,115 --> 00:27:31,716
it won't be enough,

530
00:27:31,783 --> 00:27:35,120
because I will take every ounce of pain,
suffering,

531
00:27:35,186 --> 00:27:38,857
and rage that I had built up inside of me

532
00:27:38,923 --> 00:27:44,996
to hammer the final nail in the coffin
of Toxic Attraction.

Okay, Gigi, Jacy?

-Oh, that story's messed up.
-Duke, Gigi's face.

Jacy, this one time, we were getting
on a plane heading to Texas… Excuse me.

00:28:13,658 --> 00:28:14,659
Yeah.

542
00:28:16,394 --> 00:28:18,129
-Hey, Thea.
-Hey, Duke.

543
00:28:18,196 --> 00:28:20,999
I needed to…
Well, firstly, how are you doing?

544
00:28:21,066 --> 00:28:23,735
-Yeah, a little bit better.
-That's a start.

545
00:28:23,802 --> 00:28:27,872
Look, I just wanted to say that I'm sorry
for my behavior last week.

546
00:28:27,939 --> 00:28:32,143
I think it was really rude,
and immature the way that I spoke to you.

547
00:28:32,210 --> 00:28:34,379
That's okay.
Sometimes we say things we don't mean.

548
00:28:34,446 --> 00:28:35,714
I do it a lot.

549
00:28:35,780 --> 00:28:39,184
Um, but just know
that I think you are a very strong woman

00:28:39,250 --> 00:28:40,418
who can stand on her own.

00:28:40,485 --> 00:28:42,153
Thanks, Duke.

552
00:28:42,754 --> 00:28:45,690
I'm sure Mr. Chase will accept
your apology about the university.

553
00:28:46,157 --> 00:28:48,827
Oh, no, I 100% meant
what I said about the university.

-Duke, is there a problem?
-No, Mr. Chase.

[Chase] Good.

00:28:52,063 --> 00:28:54,833
Class, today's lesson
is on famous WWE factions.

557
00:28:54,899 --> 00:28:57,035
Many of these factions were formed
because they wanted to…

558
00:28:57,102 --> 00:29:00,605
Attention, students of Chase University.

559
00:29:02,507 --> 00:29:07,512
How are you proud
to represent a failing institution?

560
00:29:07,579 --> 00:29:13,918
You are a reflection of the university
and everything for which it stands.

561
00:29:13,985 --> 00:29:18,389
Promising minds must be nourished
by rich ideals

562
00:29:18,456 --> 00:29:24,696
that awaken the spirit of excellence
not just by anger.

The grass is always greener
on the other side,

on the campus under the Schism's tree.

00:29:34,339 --> 00:29:39,277
Thea, your body is in shock,
but not because of any inflicted pain,

566
00:29:39,344 --> 00:29:43,581
it's because you saw
what life can truly be like

You can't unlearn what's ingrained
in your brain,

You know that the only flag
that you should be waving is a white one.

Chase U is nothing
but an unaccredited school.

So to everyone in that classroom,

576
00:30:13,945 --> 00:30:18,583
gather your textbooks
and take the first step to a better life.

642
00:34:28,933 --> 00:34:30,935
[Roxanne] Thanks, Book. Thanks. [giggles]

643
00:34:33,137 --> 00:34:37,275
[Alicia] Making her way to the ring,
Zoey Stark.

644
00:34:37,341 --> 00:34:39,143
[Vic] It's been a busy time for you,
champ,

645
00:34:39,210 --> 00:34:42,613
but it's also been a very busy weekend
for Zoey Stark

646
00:34:42,680 --> 00:34:45,083
who competed at the WWE live events,

647
00:34:45,149 --> 00:34:47,652
competing against both RAW
and Smackdown superstars.

648
00:34:47,718 --> 00:34:51,889
Look, she got praise from the Smackdown
Women's Champion Charlotte Flair.

649
00:34:51,956 --> 00:34:53,424
Book, you know better than anyone.

650
00:34:53,491 --> 00:34:56,360
When you get the praise from a Flair,
you're doing something right.

651
00:34:56,427 --> 00:35:00,698
[Booker] Yeah, it's because you know why?
That's the best in the business.

652
00:35:00,765 --> 00:35:03,101
You gotta love it, man.

653
00:35:03,167 --> 00:35:06,270
[Vic] We saw her coming in
with a lot of energy,

654
00:35:06,337 --> 00:35:07,672
both positive and negative here.

655
00:35:07,738 --> 00:35:12,343
She's been looking at Meiko Satomura
and wondering why the locker room, Book,

656
00:35:12,410 --> 00:35:14,679
has shown so much respect…

657
00:35:18,249 --> 00:35:20,751
towards her. And this match, again,
brought to you by Cricket.

658
00:35:20,818 --> 00:35:22,887
Smile, you're on Cricket.

659
00:35:22,954 --> 00:35:25,123
Look, there's not been a lot of smiling
from Zoey Stark.

660
00:35:25,189 --> 00:35:26,991
She doesn't understand, Book,

661
00:35:27,058 --> 00:35:30,127
why there's a lot in the locker room
that bow to Meiko Satomura,

662
00:35:30,194 --> 00:35:31,195
that treat her like…

663
00:35:31,262 --> 00:35:32,663
[Booker] You know why, Vic? You know why?

664
00:35:32,730 --> 00:35:37,068
Because Zoey Stark is not looking
for a role model or a mentor

665
00:35:37,134 --> 00:35:38,136
or anything like that.

666
00:35:38,202 --> 00:35:41,139
Zoey Stark has been on a role as of late.

667
00:35:41,205 --> 00:35:42,807
Can you agree with me on that?

668
00:35:42,874 --> 00:35:44,542
-[Vic] Yeah, I do agree.
-[Booker] Yes, exactly.

669
00:35:44,609 --> 00:35:47,211
She's moving up, level up.
That's what she's doing.

670
00:35:47,278 --> 00:35:49,547
[Vic] Well, let's actually
move to the champ.

671
00:35:49,614 --> 00:35:52,350
She's talking about you, Roxanne,
why do you respect Meiko Satomura so much?

672
00:35:52,416 --> 00:35:57,421
[Roxanne] I agree with you, Book,
but Meiko Satomura is a legend.

673
00:35:57,488 --> 00:36:01,492
She's a trailblazer for women's wrestling.
She started at 16 years old,

674
00:36:01,559 --> 00:36:04,629
and that was a time
when women's wrestling was not respected,

675
00:36:04,695 --> 00:36:08,933
but she made them respect her,
whether they liked it or not.

676
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:11,269
And she's still going,
and I aspire to be just like that.

677
00:36:11,335 --> 00:36:13,137
[Vic] She's going strong
and stronger than ever.

678
00:36:13,204 --> 00:36:17,174
And of course, you go one-on-one next week
at Roadblock against Meiko Satomura.

679
00:36:17,241 --> 00:36:21,512
But still tonight, Shawn Michaels
will respond to Grayson Waller

680
00:36:21,579 --> 00:36:24,982
after what Grayson Waller did last week
inviting Shawn Michaels

681
00:36:25,049 --> 00:36:28,252
to Roadblock to be part
of the Grayson Waller Effect.

682
00:36:28,319 --> 00:36:31,055
Book, you brought up something
that was actually very interesting

683
00:36:31,122 --> 00:36:33,057
because since you and I
started calling matches,

684
00:36:33,124 --> 00:36:37,194
Zoey Stark, you're correct,
has skyrocketed here in NXT.

685
00:36:37,261 --> 00:36:39,263
Satomura right down into the midsection,

686
00:36:39,330 --> 00:36:42,133
looking for a cover
and a quick kick out by Stark.

687
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:46,337
[Booker] You gotta understand, Zoey Stark
is looking to be an icon one day.

688
00:36:46,404 --> 00:36:49,340
She's looking to be the one
that's on the top of the game

689
00:36:49,407 --> 00:36:50,474
in this sport one day.

690
00:36:50,541 --> 00:36:55,012
You can't be looking at… You remember
when I said, mind your business.

691
00:36:55,079 --> 00:36:58,082
That's what Zoey is doing right now,
minding her own business.

692
00:36:58,149 --> 00:36:59,417
She's in her own zone.

693
00:36:59,483 --> 00:37:01,819
[Vic] Well, Roxanne,
you got the best seat in the house here

694
00:37:01,886 --> 00:37:04,221
looking at the No.1 Contender,
and of course, Zoey Stark.

695
00:37:04,288 --> 00:37:08,960
How have you been handling the pressure
of being the NXT Women's Champion?

696
00:37:09,026 --> 00:37:11,295
[Roxanne] It definitely
has been a lot of pressure,

697
00:37:11,362 --> 00:37:14,031
-but pressure makes diamonds, doesn't it?
-[grunts]

698
00:37:14,098 --> 00:37:17,101
You know, I was made
for this championship,

699
00:37:17,168 --> 00:37:19,837
and this championship was made for me,
so bring on the pressure.

700
00:37:19,904 --> 00:37:21,839
[Vic] Oh, well,
how about bring on the pain right now?

701
00:37:21,906 --> 00:37:25,376
Look at these fierce strikes
from Satomura.

702
00:37:25,443 --> 00:37:26,277
[Booker] Wow.

703
00:37:26,344 --> 00:37:28,879
[Vic] Look at Zoey Stark
quickly trying to figure out a way

704
00:37:28,946 --> 00:37:31,616
to navigate herself away,
create a little bit of separation,

705
00:37:31,682 --> 00:37:35,086
but Satomura continuing
to pounce on Stark.

706
00:37:35,152 --> 00:37:39,824
And you're looking firsthand
at what could be your fate next week

707
00:37:39,890 --> 00:37:41,726
when you face Satomura one-on-one.

708
00:37:41,792 --> 00:37:45,196
And what have you learned from the first
meeting you had with Satomura?

709
00:37:45,263 --> 00:37:49,200
[Roxanne] Well, I've definitely learned
that… She taught me something.

710
00:37:49,267 --> 00:37:54,438
She taught me that to win, it does not
just take strength, it takes heart.

711
00:37:54,505 --> 00:37:56,907
[Vic] That's a good point too
because you've shown a lot of heart.

712
00:37:56,974 --> 00:37:59,577
What a wild year it has been…
Right back into it,

713
00:37:59,644 --> 00:38:03,547
-and Satomura just planting Zoey Stark.
-[audience cheering]

714
00:38:03,614 --> 00:38:05,950
[audience chanting] Meiko! Meiko! Meiko!

715
00:38:06,017 --> 00:38:08,953
[Vic] Satomura and Stark live on NXT.

716
00:38:09,020 --> 00:38:11,188
[audience chanting] Meiko! Meiko! Meiko!

717
00:38:12,323 --> 00:38:13,924
[audience cheering]

718
00:38:13,991 --> 00:38:15,993
[Vic] We're back live on NXT.

719
00:38:16,060 --> 00:38:20,064
Meiko Satomura and Zoey Stark
have been battling it out.

720
00:38:20,131 --> 00:38:22,667
-[audience chanting] Meiko! Meiko! Meiko!
-[grunting]

721
00:38:22,733 --> 00:38:27,038
[Vic] This has been a hard-hitting affair
between both these superstars,

722
00:38:27,104 --> 00:38:31,375
as right now Stark trying to continue
to control Satomura center of the ring.

723
00:38:31,442 --> 00:38:33,844
Of course, the NXT Women's Champion
Roxanne Perez

724
00:38:33,911 --> 00:38:35,313
out here joining us, Booker,

725
00:38:35,379 --> 00:38:37,715
and getting a firsthand look
at the No.1 Contender,

726
00:38:37,782 --> 00:38:42,520
that being Satomura, for the championship
next week at NXT Roadblock.

727
00:38:42,586 --> 00:38:44,455
As Satomura has been rocked.

728
00:38:44,522 --> 00:38:46,924
Zoey Stark is rolling right now,

729
00:38:46,991 --> 00:38:50,728
and looking to take it to the air, and…
Oh!

730
00:38:50,795 --> 00:38:54,131
-And got caught in that injured knee.
-[Booker] Wow.

731
00:38:54,899 --> 00:38:58,736
Talking about smart. That was a smart move
right there by Satomura.

732
00:38:58,803 --> 00:39:01,872
[audience cheering & chanting]

733
00:39:01,939 --> 00:39:04,809
[Vic] Both superstars now
trying to regroup.

734
00:39:04,875 --> 00:39:08,212
Let's go back to some of the action
during the commercial break

735
00:39:08,279 --> 00:39:12,216
because Zoey, bam,
Stark was bringing it, heavy-hitting,

736
00:39:12,283 --> 00:39:16,887
hard-hitting,
taking it to the Japanese legend.

737
00:39:16,954 --> 00:39:21,292
As Satomura right now has struck
that repaired knee of Zoey Stark.

738
00:39:21,359 --> 00:39:23,694
And Stark trying to get back
into this matchup.

739
00:39:23,761 --> 00:39:26,564
And Book, does Stark have a gripe
about Satomura

740
00:39:26,630 --> 00:39:30,534
getting a title opportunity next week
before her, in your opinion?

741
00:39:30,601 --> 00:39:32,269
[Booker]
Yes, I think she does have a gripe,

742
00:39:32,336 --> 00:39:38,743
and she should feel that way,
but Satomura, she's a true living legend.

743
00:39:38,809 --> 00:39:41,612
This is an opportunity
that any promoter in the world

744
00:39:41,679 --> 00:39:44,515
could not pass up on
putting her in a title match

745
00:39:44,582 --> 00:39:47,785
-against the one prodigy Roxanne Perez.
-[screams]

746
00:39:47,852 --> 00:39:48,853
[Booker] I get it.

747
00:39:48,919 --> 00:39:52,456
[Vic] Satomura now in control
as the champ sits next to us.

748
00:39:52,523 --> 00:39:54,258
It's been quite a year for you,

749
00:39:54,325 --> 00:39:57,728
and now looking down the barrel
at the No.1 Contender,

750
00:39:57,795 --> 00:40:00,731
you get another opportunity
at Meiko Satomura.

751
00:40:00,798 --> 00:40:04,802
From the top into the cover and… Ooh!

752
00:40:04,869 --> 00:40:07,271
-[Booker] Not enough.
-[Vic] Near-fall.

753
00:40:07,338 --> 00:40:10,941
[Vic] And what are you thinking
at this moment? The year that you've had?

754
00:40:11,008 --> 00:40:13,144
[Roxanne] I'm thinking that I'm ready
for Meiko Satomura.

755
00:40:13,210 --> 00:40:15,880
I'm not the same competitor
that I was a few months ago

756
00:40:15,946 --> 00:40:17,214
when I was in the ring with her.

757
00:40:17,281 --> 00:40:20,484
I'm the NXT Women's Champion
and I'm a prodigy,

758
00:40:20,551 --> 00:40:21,752
and I'm going to show Meiko that.

759
00:40:21,819 --> 00:40:23,754
[Booker] Can I say one thing?
Can I say one thing?

760
00:40:23,821 --> 00:40:27,958
I've been watching the training sessions
with you and Meiko Satomura,

761
00:40:28,025 --> 00:40:30,694
and the friendly banter back and forth.

762
00:40:30,761 --> 00:40:33,964
Let me tell you something.
Don't fall for that. Don't fall for it.

763
00:40:34,031 --> 00:40:36,867
That's a trick
she's trying to lure you in, man.

764
00:40:37,468 --> 00:40:41,305
[Vic] As you see, Satomura continuing
to just chop down Stark.

765
00:40:41,372 --> 00:40:42,373
I got to let you know, Book.

766
00:40:42,440 --> 00:40:44,575
I checked my Twitter
during the commercial break.

767
00:40:44,642 --> 00:40:48,479
Shawn Michaels
has indeed answered Grayson Waller

768
00:40:48,546 --> 00:40:49,814
for next week at Roadblock.

769
00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:52,016
We'll have more on that here
in just a moment,

770
00:40:52,082 --> 00:40:56,353
but we wanna continue to focus on this
huge matchup we're witnessing here live.

771
00:40:56,420 --> 00:41:01,826
-Stark taking full advantage of Satomura.
-[audience booing]

772
00:41:01,892 --> 00:41:04,094
-[Vic] And up and boom.
-[Booker] Oh!

773
00:41:04,161 --> 00:41:06,096
-That could be it.
-[Vic] Stark got all of it.

774
00:41:06,163 --> 00:41:08,365
Did she get enough of it though?
Into the cover.

775
00:41:08,432 --> 00:41:13,337
-[Booker] Nice position. Whoa, so close.
-[Vic] That was a near-fall.

776
00:41:13,804 --> 00:41:16,674
I can only imagine what is going through
your mind right now, champ,

777
00:41:16,740 --> 00:41:21,011
taking a look at the action
because Zoey Stark's gunning for you.

778
00:41:21,078 --> 00:41:22,746
Satomura's gunning for you.

779
00:41:22,813 --> 00:41:26,283
The locker room is now looking at you
square in the eye

780
00:41:26,350 --> 00:41:28,953
for what is on your shoulder,
that NXT Women's title.

781
00:41:29,019 --> 00:41:30,955
[Roxanne] It's mine.
It's not going anywhere.

782
00:41:31,021 --> 00:41:32,690
-[Vic] You hear that, Book?
-[Roxanne] I sleep with this every night.

783
00:41:32,756 --> 00:41:33,824
I'm taking this to the grave.

784
00:41:33,891 --> 00:41:35,693
[Booker] That's the attitude
you're supposed to have.

785
00:41:35,759 --> 00:41:40,831
And once you get that taste of that gold
just a little bit, it changes you.

786
00:41:40,898 --> 00:41:43,300
-[Roxanne] It does.
-[Vic] Power on display by Satomura.

787
00:41:43,367 --> 00:41:45,870
[Vic] Cover. Near-fall.

788
00:41:45,936 --> 00:41:49,206
[Booker] My question is,
how has that championship changed you?

789
00:41:49,273 --> 00:41:53,611
[Roxanne] It's changed… I feel like
it's really changed me mentally.

790
00:41:53,677 --> 00:41:57,348
Um, you know, I can't just be starstruck
by the lights,

791
00:41:57,414 --> 00:42:00,751
blinded by the lights,
I'm so excited to be here.

792
00:42:00,818 --> 00:42:01,752
I'm excited to be here,

793
00:42:01,819 --> 00:42:06,657
but also I have something to prove
holding this championship

794
00:42:06,724 --> 00:42:08,125
and I'm not gonna let it slip.

795
00:42:08,192 --> 00:42:09,793
[Vic] I'd like to say
that when the lights are the brightest

796
00:42:09,860 --> 00:42:10,961
is when you perform the best,

797
00:42:11,028 --> 00:42:13,697
because you could have a clear path
to Los Angeles,

798
00:42:13,764 --> 00:42:17,034
a clear path to WrestleMania Saturday
at Stand & Deliver

799
00:42:17,101 --> 00:42:20,304
if you're victorious next week,
but Stark wants an opportunity.

800
00:42:20,371 --> 00:42:24,375
She wants that spotlight,
and almost was able to take down Satomura,

801
00:42:24,441 --> 00:42:26,844
that right shoulder
just getting off the mat.

802
00:42:26,911 --> 00:42:28,979
[Booker] Zoey said it last week.

803
00:42:29,046 --> 00:42:32,883
She's looking to prove
that she is the real final boss.

804
00:42:32,950 --> 00:42:35,219
Can she do it tonight?
That's the question.

805
00:42:35,286 --> 00:42:38,355
[Vic] I'll tell you right now,
if Stark's able to connect here,

806
00:42:38,422 --> 00:42:40,157
and she could put down the Final Boss,

807
00:42:40,224 --> 00:42:44,495
she would stake claim to what she has been
saying about the NXT Women's Championship.

808
00:42:44,562 --> 00:42:47,631
But Satomura right back in.
Trying to get up Stark.

809
00:42:47,698 --> 00:42:48,599
-[grunts]
-[thuds]

810
00:42:48,666 --> 00:42:50,000
-[Vic] Oh!
-[Booker] Wow!

811
00:42:50,067 --> 00:42:53,904
[Vic] More heavy impact
to the upper body of Zoey Stark,

812
00:42:53,971 --> 00:42:56,774
and Satomura now could be closing in

813
00:42:56,840 --> 00:42:59,777
on building a little bit of momentum
right ahead.

814
00:42:59,843 --> 00:43:02,913
-Bam! Scorpio Rising connects.
-[Booker] Wow!

815
00:43:02,980 --> 00:43:07,251
[Vic] And Roxanne, your eyes got real wide
as Satomura into the cover

816
00:43:07,318 --> 00:43:12,189
and picks up that much-needed momentum
ahead of your match next week.

817
00:43:12,256 --> 00:43:16,727
[Alicia] Here is your winner,
Meiko Satomura.

818
00:43:17,628 --> 00:43:19,630
[Vic] This is the hard-hitting action,
Book,

819
00:43:19,697 --> 00:43:22,299
that we will be in store for next week…

820
00:43:22,366 --> 00:43:24,435
-[Booker] You see that?
-[Roxanne] I saw.

821
00:43:24,501 --> 00:43:25,336
[Booker] Are you ready?

822
00:43:25,402 --> 00:43:28,072
[Roxanne] I'm ready
and I'm going to WrestleMania.

823
00:43:28,138 --> 00:43:30,541
-[Booker] Oh, yeah.
-[Vic] Going to WrestleMania weekend.

824
00:43:30,607 --> 00:43:33,410
Let's look at some of the action
throughout this matchup.

825
00:43:33,477 --> 00:43:34,745
-First, the power.
-[thuds]

826
00:43:34,812 --> 00:43:39,683
Just look at the precision on the drive,
down to the mat from Satomura

827
00:43:39,750 --> 00:43:42,152
and then look at the precision right,
boom,

828
00:43:42,219 --> 00:43:45,623
perfectly placed right there

829
00:43:45,689 --> 00:43:50,194
into Zoey Stark
to put Stark down for the count,

830
00:43:50,260 --> 00:43:53,664
and Book, that happens next week.

831
00:43:53,731 --> 00:44:00,270
We could be looking at a brand-new
NXT Women's Champion

832
00:44:00,337 --> 00:44:03,607
because the showdown takes place
in seven nights.

833
00:44:03,674 --> 00:44:07,077
It's not going to be about respect,
it's not going to be about honor.

834
00:44:07,144 --> 00:44:09,546
It's going to be
about the NXT women's title.

835
00:44:09,613 --> 00:44:13,884
Meiko Satomura, Roxanne Perez,
one-on-one at Roadblock.

836
00:44:13,951 --> 00:44:17,287
Talking about a main event
anywhere in the world.

837
00:44:17,354 --> 00:44:19,490
I love it. I love it, man.

838
00:44:19,556 --> 00:44:20,691
We're talking about Roadblock,

839
00:44:20,758 --> 00:44:23,961
I did mention that Shawn Michaels
had answered the challenge

840
00:44:24,028 --> 00:44:25,963
from Grayson Waller for that invitation

841
00:44:26,030 --> 00:44:28,365
to the Grayson Waller Effect next week
at Roadblock.

842
00:44:28,432 --> 00:44:32,302
But before we get to that,
I want to get to what happened last week.

843
00:44:32,369 --> 00:44:34,371
It was in the NXT Championship match.

844
00:44:34,438 --> 00:44:38,876
Bron Breakker had just retained the title,
a hard-fought main event,

845
00:44:38,942 --> 00:44:42,546
and then the arrogant Aussie would strike.

846
00:44:44,648 --> 00:44:46,183
What are you gonna do?
I've got the remote now.

847
00:44:46,250 --> 00:44:49,186
I've turned the whole show off.
I guess I run this now, lad.

848
00:44:49,253 --> 00:44:50,587
-Hey, Mr. Michaels.
-Get out of here.

849
00:44:50,654 --> 00:44:52,523
You shut your mouth, Bob.

850
00:44:53,190 --> 00:44:54,692
You wouldn't let me on the show tonight,
huh?

851
00:44:54,758 --> 00:44:57,428
That's okay because I took a play out
of the old DX playbook

852
00:44:57,494 --> 00:44:59,630
and I took over the production truck,
didn't I, idiot?

853
00:44:59,696 --> 00:45:01,031
Do not press that button.

854
00:45:01,832 --> 00:45:06,503
So how about we talk about it,
say in two weeks at Roadblock,

855
00:45:06,570 --> 00:45:10,841
on a very special episode
of the Grayson Waller Effect

856
00:45:10,908 --> 00:45:15,112
featuring "The Heartbreak Kid"
Shawn Michaels.

857
00:45:16,080 --> 00:45:19,683
[Vic] Well, his focus
is on developing talent for this brand,

858
00:45:19,750 --> 00:45:22,486
but if Grayson Waller wants to talk
to Shawn Michaels,

859
00:45:22,553 --> 00:45:27,558
Shawn Michaels has said he has no problem
meeting Grayson Waller face-to-face.

860
00:45:27,624 --> 00:45:32,896
HBK on NXT live next week at Roadblock.

861
00:45:32,963 --> 00:45:36,967
And right now our very own
McKenzie Mitchell is standing by.

862
00:45:40,471 --> 00:45:41,305
[McKenzie] Thanks, Vic.

863
00:45:41,371 --> 00:45:43,874
As you can see, Wendy Choo
is getting medical attention

864
00:45:43,941 --> 00:45:46,009
after being attacked
in the NXT parking lot.

865
00:45:46,076 --> 00:45:48,011
I hope to have an update
by the end of tonight.

866
00:45:48,078 --> 00:45:51,081
[Stratton] Oh, McKenzie,
here's your update.

867
00:45:51,148 --> 00:45:55,018
Wendy Choo will be out indefinitely
after being attacked in the parking lot.

868
00:45:55,085 --> 00:45:58,355
Newsflash, people,
stay out of the NXT parking lot.

869
00:46:00,591 --> 00:46:03,327
-Ladies, any update?
-It's not looking good, McKenzie.

870
00:46:03,393 --> 00:46:07,531
Told you. But look at the bright side.
At least nobody cares about Wendy Choo.

871
00:46:07,598 --> 00:46:10,667
I'm sorry. Didn't she have
a longstanding issue with Wendy Choo?

872
00:46:10,734 --> 00:46:13,070
-Yeah, not too long ago.
-That's what I thought.

873
00:46:13,137 --> 00:46:14,605
I know what you guys
are trying to do here.

874
00:46:14,671 --> 00:46:16,006
"Yeah. Not too long ago."

875
00:46:16,073 --> 00:46:18,342
Point that blame finger
right back at you guys.

876
00:46:18,408 --> 00:46:20,477
Where were you two
when Nikkita Lyons got attacked?

877
00:46:20,544 --> 00:46:23,480
And you guys just so happen to be around
when Wendy Choo gets attacked?

878
00:46:23,547 --> 00:46:26,950
-Sounds a little sketchy to me.
-What are you trying to say?

879
00:46:27,017 --> 00:46:32,156
[gasps] I just had a Tiffany epiphany.
What if I became a detective?

880
00:46:32,222 --> 00:46:34,491
But of course, I'd only do cases
that I actually care about.

881
00:46:34,558 --> 00:46:37,394
What you need to do
is stop this detective thing

882
00:46:37,461 --> 00:46:40,464
and put your boots on
because I'm going to get us a match.

883
00:46:40,531 --> 00:46:43,667
-Let's go.
-Mm-hmm. [flicks fingers]

884
00:46:43,734 --> 00:46:44,735
[scoffs]

885
00:46:49,072 --> 00:46:54,945
-["Chasing Surf" playing]
-[bell ringing]

886
00:46:55,012 --> 00:46:57,748
[Alicia] The following contest
is scheduled for one fall.

887
00:46:57,815 --> 00:47:01,819
Introducing first, Sol Ruca.

888
00:47:01,885 --> 00:47:06,223
[Vic] Well, for Sol Ruca,
she's got to be smiling a little more

889
00:47:06,290 --> 00:47:10,460
on the inside with her recent issues
with Zoey Stark.

890
00:47:10,527 --> 00:47:14,198
She might not be smiling in a few moments
with another tough test.

891
00:47:14,264 --> 00:47:18,435
For one of the fastest-rising superstars
in NXT

892
00:47:18,502 --> 00:47:22,439
as Sol Ruca goes one-on-one
with Elektra Lopez,

893
00:47:22,506 --> 00:47:24,641
that coming up here next.

894
00:47:26,743 --> 00:47:27,678
You think I like it?

895
00:47:27,744 --> 00:47:30,681
You think I'm happy about this?
I would rather get hit by an ambulance.

896
00:47:30,747 --> 00:47:32,916
I know you would.
Listen, let's just go back reassess.

897
00:47:32,983 --> 00:47:34,918
Let's think about it.
We don't have to tag with him.

898
00:47:34,985 --> 00:47:37,588
It's gonna take
a son of a bitch to beat Indus Sher.

899
00:47:37,654 --> 00:47:41,124
-And that's exactly what he is.
-All right. I'm on the same page.

900
00:47:41,191 --> 00:47:42,526
Hey, man.

901
00:47:42,593 --> 00:47:44,595
-What's up, boys?
-[audience booing]

902
00:47:45,462 --> 00:47:51,201
-Damon, you're still a bad person.
-Yeah. Really missed you too, Julius.

903
00:47:51,268 --> 00:47:53,003
-You're calculated.
-Yeah.

904
00:47:53,070 --> 00:47:55,806
-You're sly.
-No remorse for anyone.

905
00:47:56,707 --> 00:47:59,977
Bu that's exactly what it's gonna take
to beat Indus Sher.

906
00:48:00,577 --> 00:48:02,179
Let me get something straight.

907
00:48:02,246 --> 00:48:05,916
Julius Creed
coming to Damon Kemp for help.

908
00:48:07,718 --> 00:48:11,121
-We did rock some six-mans.
-Yeah.

909
00:48:11,188 --> 00:48:13,991
Are we thinking about getting the boys
back together?

910
00:48:14,057 --> 00:48:17,661
-I think so.
-Yeah. Absolutely not. Are you kidding me?

911
00:48:17,728 --> 00:48:20,864
I told you this was a bad idea.
He's garbage.

912
00:48:20,931 --> 00:48:25,435
Creeds,
you guys need a third for next week?

913
00:48:25,502 --> 00:48:26,670
Oh, yeah, we do, man.

914
00:48:26,737 --> 00:48:30,607
Hey, you guys kept my match clean
last week against Jinder, so I'm in.

915
00:48:30,674 --> 00:48:36,513
-[laughs] He's in! [inaudible].
-What's the matter with you?

916
00:48:36,580 --> 00:48:38,582
You couldn't have come in
one minute earlier

917
00:48:38,649 --> 00:48:41,785
and saved me from the most
humiliating moment of my entire life?

918
00:48:41,852 --> 00:48:44,721
-Look at him. He's so pissed.
-He's so mad.

919
00:48:44,788 --> 00:48:46,857
[both laughing]

920
00:48:46,924 --> 00:48:48,659
-You son of a bitch.
-[laughs]

921
00:48:48,725 --> 00:48:54,064
-Hey, we needed one, and now we got one.
-Hey, guys. Guys, where my dogs at?

922
00:48:54,131 --> 00:48:55,332
[barking]

923
00:48:55,399 --> 00:48:57,935
-Hey, for Roadblock.
-All right, for Roadblock.

924
00:48:58,001 --> 00:49:02,139
[barking]

925
00:49:02,205 --> 00:49:05,275
[Vic] Uh, just when we thought Roadblock
couldn't get any bigger.

926
00:49:05,342 --> 00:49:07,477
-Six-Man tag team action.
-[audience booing]

927
00:49:07,544 --> 00:49:10,013
-["Turnin Heads" playing]
-[Alicia] Making her way to the ring,

928
00:49:10,080 --> 00:49:15,352
accompanied by Valentina Feroz,
Elektra Lopez.

929
00:49:15,419 --> 00:49:18,155
[Vic] Look, for Elektra Lopez,
goals are simple.

930
00:49:18,221 --> 00:49:23,627
Power and influence, and Lopez really
has made an art out of cutting corners.

931
00:49:23,694 --> 00:49:28,165
This is just one example of what I mean
in a matchup against Indi Hartwell,

932
00:49:28,231 --> 00:49:30,934
bam, brass knuckles out of nowhere.

933
00:49:31,001 --> 00:49:35,172
And she's been trying to instill her ways
into Valentina Feroz

934
00:49:35,238 --> 00:49:37,507
who's out here ringside and for…

935
00:49:37,574 --> 00:49:41,078
I feel bad for Valentina Feroz,
because she's so conflicted on what to do.

936
00:49:41,144 --> 00:49:43,747
[Booker] I'm not going to sit here
and say I condone those actions

937
00:49:43,814 --> 00:49:45,649
or anything like that,
but I've been in the middle of that ring

938
00:49:45,716 --> 00:49:49,553
and sometimes you do what it takes
by any means necessary.

939
00:49:49,619 --> 00:49:51,288
I get Elektra Lopez.

940
00:49:51,355 --> 00:49:52,823
-This is a business.
-[audience chanting]

941
00:49:52,889 --> 00:49:56,827
[Vic] I understand that, but there's
other ways to go about your business,

942
00:49:56,893 --> 00:49:59,162
and for Valentina Feroz,
she wants to do it the right way.

943
00:49:59,229 --> 00:50:01,298
[Booker]
Vic, you just said it, in your opinion,

944
00:50:01,365 --> 00:50:05,202
uh, it's about power, it's about money,
it's about influence.

945
00:50:05,268 --> 00:50:08,739
That's the world that we live in.
You should try it sometime, Vic.

946
00:50:08,805 --> 00:50:09,639
Just once.

947
00:50:09,706 --> 00:50:11,575
[Vic] Look, I look at Sol Ruca,
I look at somebody

948
00:50:11,641 --> 00:50:14,444
who embraces
the differences of the women's division,

949
00:50:14,511 --> 00:50:16,313
someone who accepts the challenges

950
00:50:16,380 --> 00:50:18,448
that are from everyone
and it's quite poetic

951
00:50:18,515 --> 00:50:20,684
for a superstar
at this point in her career.

952
00:50:20,751 --> 00:50:25,355
[Booker] Look at Sol Ruca,
she's had a lot of praise and all…

953
00:50:25,422 --> 00:50:27,758
-[Vic] A lot of success too.
-[Booker] Of course.

954
00:50:27,824 --> 00:50:32,329
And she's been compared to people
like RVD, people like AJ Styles.

955
00:50:32,396 --> 00:50:35,265
She just needs to stay focused,
she's going to be great one day.

956
00:50:35,332 --> 00:50:37,467
[Vic] Seen a lot of praise
from one of your favorites, of course,

957
00:50:37,534 --> 00:50:40,070
I'm talking about Kofi Kingston,
as up and over.

958
00:50:40,137 --> 00:50:41,972
Look at the pure athleticism.

959
00:50:42,038 --> 00:50:45,776
Oh!
Just look at pure domination from Lopez.

960
00:50:45,842 --> 00:50:47,978
There's been a lot of talk about Sol Ruca,

961
00:50:48,045 --> 00:50:51,048
that not only upsets superstars
like Zoey Stark,

962
00:50:51,114 --> 00:50:54,051
-but also superstars like Elektra Lopez.
-[Booker] Oh, wow!

963
00:50:54,117 --> 00:50:56,119
As Sol Ruca back into control.

964
00:50:56,186 --> 00:50:59,322
And right now maybe trying
to send a message to Zoey Stark.

965
00:50:59,389 --> 00:51:00,490
She wants to face Zoey again.

966
00:51:00,557 --> 00:51:03,260
Believes in herself
and there's nothing wrong with that.

967
00:51:03,326 --> 00:51:08,398
Elektra Lopez, she has all the tools, Vic,
to go out here and get a victory.

968
00:51:08,465 --> 00:51:11,535
But if I could give her any advice,
"Stay away from those corners."

969
00:51:11,601 --> 00:51:13,670
-Like that. Keep this thing…
-[Vic] Oh, no.

970
00:51:13,737 --> 00:51:16,907
In the middle of that squared circle
or right there,

971
00:51:16,973 --> 00:51:20,977
right there on the outside
where she can really do some damage.

972
00:51:21,978 --> 00:51:23,980
[Vic] We talked about Lopez

973
00:51:24,047 --> 00:51:26,249
and the nasty mean streak
that she possessed.

974
00:51:26,316 --> 00:51:29,252
She certainly wants to be
in control of everything.

975
00:51:29,319 --> 00:51:32,722
Into the cover, hook of the leg,
and a kick out by Sol Ruca.

976
00:51:32,789 --> 00:51:35,792
And this was just a nasty landing.

977
00:51:35,859 --> 00:51:37,994
-Boom, crash, and burn.
-[Booker] Yeah.

978
00:51:38,061 --> 00:51:42,332
[Vic] You saw the knee, the lower back
bounce off the hardest part of the ring.

979
00:51:42,399 --> 00:51:45,535
For someone like Sol Ruca,
she used that athleticism,

980
00:51:45,602 --> 00:51:47,070
needs the springs, does she not?

981
00:51:47,137 --> 00:51:49,739
[Booker] Yeah, I talk about that.
She definitely needs that.

982
00:51:49,806 --> 00:51:52,609
-I talk about that all the time, Vic.
-[Vic] Into the cover, into the cover.

983
00:51:52,676 --> 00:51:56,346
Near-fall. But also this matchup just made
official after what we witnessed,

984
00:51:56,413 --> 00:51:59,449
Tiffany Stratton, Katana Chance,
one-on-one.

985
00:51:59,516 --> 00:52:03,620
[Booker] I like that. Back to my point,
this is called the hurt business, Vic.

986
00:52:03,687 --> 00:52:07,958
The one thing you do not need,
especially going into Roadblock,

987
00:52:08,024 --> 00:52:09,626
you don't want to get injured.

988
00:52:09,693 --> 00:52:12,129
That right there can take you
right out of the game.

989
00:52:12,195 --> 00:52:14,931
[Vic] I want to talk about something here
with Wendy Choo. Oh!

990
00:52:14,998 --> 00:52:18,535
We saw her get attacked earlier tonight.
We heard about her being attacked.

991
00:52:18,602 --> 00:52:19,936
Into the cover and another near-fall.

992
00:52:20,003 --> 00:52:21,938
How do we know
that someone like Elektra Lopez…

993
00:52:22,005 --> 00:52:24,608
-[Booker] Yeah, I don't know who did it.
-[Vic] They've had quite the history.

994
00:52:24,674 --> 00:52:27,811
[Booker] Let me tell you,
that [inaudible] is very dangerous.

995
00:52:27,878 --> 00:52:31,147
[Booker] You need to stay your behind
out of the parking lot.

996
00:52:31,214 --> 00:52:33,416
[Vic] Part of that history…
And I don't disagree with you.

997
00:52:33,483 --> 00:52:36,286
Part of that history also comes back
to Valentina Feroz

998
00:52:36,353 --> 00:52:37,487
because you would think

999
00:52:37,554 --> 00:52:41,424
that Wendy Choo is almost
a good role model for Valentina Feroz,

1000
00:52:41,491 --> 00:52:44,161
someone she could look up to you,
unlike Elektra Lopez.

1001
00:52:44,227 --> 00:52:45,829
[Booker] Did I hear you talk
about role models again?

1002
00:52:45,896 --> 00:52:51,034
If I'm gonna have a role model,
he's gonna be someone like Elektra Lopez,

1003
00:52:51,101 --> 00:52:55,505
someone who's looking to make a change,
make a difference in her life.

1004
00:52:55,572 --> 00:53:00,176
I'm talking about champagne wishes
and caviar dreams, baby.

1005
00:53:00,243 --> 00:53:04,080
[Vic] We saw moments ago Valentina Feroz
keeping her eye on Elektra Lopez.

1006
00:53:04,147 --> 00:53:06,616
[Vic] Maybe firsthand knowledge
here tonight.

1007
00:53:06,683 --> 00:53:08,685
Going to school, class, and session,
of course.

1008
00:53:08,752 --> 00:53:11,087
And right now Sol Ruca changing the game.

1009
00:53:11,154 --> 00:53:16,426
[Booker] Yes, it's called OJT, Vic.
On the job training.

1010
00:53:16,493 --> 00:53:17,527
[Vic] Now Sol Ruca right now.

1011
00:53:17,594 --> 00:53:19,462
You talk about on the job training,
think about everything

1012
00:53:19,529 --> 00:53:21,198
that Sol Ruca has been able to overcome.

1013
00:53:21,264 --> 00:53:24,434
We saw last week firsthand
what's on her mind.

1014
00:53:24,501 --> 00:53:25,702
What goes through her mind.

1015
00:53:25,769 --> 00:53:28,205
She finds a new skill set,
she tries to master it,

1016
00:53:28,271 --> 00:53:32,142
and she has really
stepped up her game here recently.

1017
00:53:32,209 --> 00:53:34,244
-[audience chattering]
-[Booker] When I look at Sol Ruca,

1018
00:53:34,311 --> 00:53:38,048
the first word comes to mind
is innovative.

1019
00:53:38,114 --> 00:53:41,718
The one thing that those great ones
that we talked about earlier,

1020
00:53:41,785 --> 00:53:43,053
those guys have in common,

1021
00:53:43,119 --> 00:53:45,288
right now she's trying
to find that moment.

1022
00:53:45,355 --> 00:53:47,357
-Here we go.
-[Vic] Oh, nobody home.

1023
00:53:47,424 --> 00:53:48,725
Lopez had it scouted.

1024
00:53:48,792 --> 00:53:50,727
-[Vic] And Lopez again…
-Keep off the hair, Elektra.

1025
00:53:50,794 --> 00:53:53,463
[Vic] …just showcasing that power,
showcasing that strength.

1026
00:53:53,530 --> 00:53:54,931
-[Vic] Into yet another cover.
-The shoulder is up.

1027
00:53:54,998 --> 00:53:56,866
[Vic] Ruca doing her best
to try to get on her stomach.

1028
00:53:56,933 --> 00:54:00,604
Now on her back.
And now another kick out by Ruca.

1029
00:54:00,670 --> 00:54:02,672
[Booker] Lopez is doing exactly
what I was talking about,

1030
00:54:02,739 --> 00:54:06,676
trying to keep this thing right
in the middle of that squared circle.

1031
00:54:06,743 --> 00:54:09,679
That's the safe zone, Vic.
Stay away from those corners.

1032
00:54:09,746 --> 00:54:11,681
[Vic] Wait a minute.

1033
00:54:11,748 --> 00:54:14,351
Talking about corners,
what's Elektra Lopez looking… Oh.

1034
00:54:14,417 --> 00:54:18,755
Give it to me. Give it to me.
Give it to me.

1035
00:54:18,822 --> 00:54:20,957
-Come on!
-[Vic] It's brass knuckle.

1036
00:54:21,024 --> 00:54:25,595
We talked about being conflicted.
Wait a minute, Sol Snatcher!

1037
00:54:25,662 --> 00:54:26,596
[audience cheering]

1038
00:54:26,663 --> 00:54:29,065
Took too much time. The door was open.

1039
00:54:29,132 --> 00:54:31,468
-And Sol reigns supreme.
-[bell ringing]

["Chasing Surf" playing]

1041

[Alicia] Here is your winner, Sol Ruca.

1042
00:54:37,941 --> 00:54:39,943
-[Booker] I told you.
-[Vic] Told me what?

1043
00:54:40,010 --> 00:54:43,046
[Booker] Stay away from those corners,
Vic. Stay away from those corners.

1044
00:54:43,113 --> 00:54:44,914
[Vic] You did tell me to stay away
from the corner.

1045
00:54:44,981 --> 00:54:47,183
And look, it was Lopez
who went to the corner

1046
00:54:47,250 --> 00:54:49,519
looking for the brass knuckles.

1047
00:54:49,586 --> 00:54:50,720
Couldn't find them.

1048
00:54:50,787 --> 00:54:54,057
Well, guess who had them,
the one and only Valentina Feroz.

1049
00:54:54,124 --> 00:54:58,795
In that momentary, bam,
lapse in judgment opened the door

1050
00:54:58,862 --> 00:55:01,197
for that patented Sol Snatcher.

1051
00:55:01,264 --> 00:55:07,704
And another big win for Sol Ruca
in her career here on NXT.

1052
00:55:09,639 --> 00:55:13,376
All you're ever gonna be
is a little loser.

-Since we were wee wains in Glasgow.

we'd let a couple of shanters

get away with something like that at home.
A couple of liberty-taking ballbags.

1071

Two years ago, Pretty Deadly
stole the NXT UK Tag Titles from us.

1072
00:56:37,360 --> 00:56:40,096
Then last week they remind us of that,
then jump us.

Last I checked, NXT is now our kingdom.

They're on?
They didn't look that tough last week

when we gave them a jolly good thrashing
though, did they, boy?

We spanked them good and proper.

with how it turned out.

-Wolfgang, get the pool tables.

that was sent out by Drew McIntyre.

It reads, "I've known Mark Coffey
for a decade, Wolfgang for two.

I've faced them, we've stood side-by-side

are tough as hell and take no BS.

you have a receipt coming your way."

1102

Look at Scottish lads sticking together.
Oh, friends. Scottish friends.

1103
00:58:27,237 --> 00:58:31,174
It's a terrible country,
so gray and dreary.

they allegedly have it. Uh!

-We're positively cock-a-hoop, McKenzie.
-So let's do it.

Next week, we'll meet Gallus
face-to-face at Roadblock, no less.

about our upcoming match.

[Vic] Tonight WWE and Cricket,
welcome members

1119
00:59:19,055 --> 00:59:23,459
of the Boys & Girls Clubs of America
to NXT.

1120

Smile, you're on Cricket.

1121
00:59:27,030 --> 00:59:29,632

this matchup after an argument

right now amongst the NXT universe members

00:59:38,875 --> 00:59:42,111
that we mentioned
from the Boys & Girls Clubs of America.

1125
00:59:42,178 --> 00:59:45,715

Tiffany Stratton.

1130
01:00:11,841 --> 01:00:12,775
[Vic] I mentioned smiles

1131
01:00:12,842 --> 01:00:16,245
because Tiffany Stratton
has a fake smile on all the time.

1132
01:00:16,312 --> 01:00:18,047
How rude can a human be?

1133
01:00:18,114 --> 01:00:20,116
Saying no one cares about Wendy Choo.
What?

1134
01:00:20,183 --> 01:00:22,118
[Booker] Let me get my cell phone out,
Vic.

1135
01:00:22,185 --> 01:00:24,520
-[Vic] Why?
-[Booker] I feel like the paparazzi.

1136
01:00:24,587 --> 01:00:30,927
Oh, hell no! We've got Tiffany Stratton
in the middle of this ring.

1137
01:00:32,428 --> 01:00:35,164
[Vic] Your wife is not going to be happy
that you have these photos on your phone,

1138
01:00:35,231 --> 01:00:36,966
but can we get back
to what I was just saying?

1139
01:00:37,033 --> 01:00:38,167
-[Booker laughs]
-[Vic] How could she say

1140
01:00:38,234 --> 01:00:39,636
no one cares about Wendy Choo?

1141
01:00:39,702 --> 01:00:41,971
[Booker] You know, Vic,
why you always negative, man?

1142
01:00:42,038 --> 01:00:44,173
-[Vic] I'm not. I'm asking you…
-[Booker] Why you always being negative?

1143
01:00:44,240 --> 01:00:46,075
-[Vic] …legitimate questions.
-[Booker] Why are you being negative

1144
01:00:46,142 --> 01:00:47,543
with someone like Tiffany Stratton?

1145
01:00:47,610 --> 01:00:49,278
Tiffany Stratton is looking to come up,

1146
01:00:49,345 --> 01:00:51,748
she's not looking to play games
here in NXT.

1147
01:00:51,814 --> 01:00:54,817
Look at her, she's a star,
she's a diamond.

1148
01:00:54,884 --> 01:00:58,221
Come on, Katana. That's all you got?
Come on.

-[grunts]
-[Carter] There you go.

1150
01:01:00,656 --> 01:01:02,925
[Vic] Quick go behind and a near-fall.

1151
01:01:02,992 --> 01:01:06,329
Look, much like this matchup
was a challenge, it was accepted earlier.

1152
01:01:06,396 --> 01:01:07,563
I gotta talk about this one.

1153
01:01:07,630 --> 01:01:10,700
Shawn Michaels accepting Waller's
invitation to Roadblock.

1154
01:01:10,767 --> 01:01:13,703
Obviously social media, the NXT universe,

1155
01:01:13,770 --> 01:01:16,572
and we here at the desk, we're still
buzzing about that announcement.

1156
01:01:16,639 --> 01:01:19,375
[Booker] It's going to be
Mr. Rambunctious himself,

1157
01:01:19,442 --> 01:01:24,380
"The Heartbreak Kid" Shawn Michaels
will be in the building.

1158
01:01:24,447 --> 01:01:27,850
[Vic] Take a look
at the natural athleticism

1159
01:01:27,917 --> 01:01:30,586
of Katana Chance on display.

1160
01:01:30,653 --> 01:01:35,391
[Booker] What a spark plug, Katana Chance
is as good as they come, Vic.

1161
01:01:35,458 --> 01:01:37,460
[Vic] Spark plug's a good word.
Now going around.

1162
01:01:37,527 --> 01:01:42,532
Inside cradle, shoulders are down,
and near-fall in this matchup.

1163
01:01:42,598 --> 01:01:44,801
[Booker] Beautiful technique
by this young lady right here,

1164
01:01:44,867 --> 01:01:47,403
she's sound.
She's sound in every department.

1165
01:01:47,470 --> 01:01:49,138
[Vic] I got to talk about this here
for a moment

1166
01:01:49,205 --> 01:01:50,339
because not that you care,

1167
01:01:50,406 --> 01:01:52,809
we still don't have an update
on Wendy Choo who was allegedly,

1168
01:01:52,875 --> 01:01:55,511
-I'll throw out the word allegedly…
-[Booker] Why'd you say that?

1169
01:01:55,578 --> 01:01:57,914
[Vic] Because you don't care,
you made a mockery out of it.

1170
01:01:57,980 --> 01:01:59,649
You started talking about the smile,
you took out your phone,

1171
01:01:59,716 --> 01:02:00,583
you were taking pictures.

1172
01:02:00,650 --> 01:02:03,052
As right now you might want
to take a picture of this,

1173
01:02:03,119 --> 01:02:07,957
as Tiffany Stratton…
Oh, nasty landing for Chance.

1174
01:02:08,024 --> 01:02:10,026
And look, Katana had a good point.

1175
01:02:10,093 --> 01:02:13,229
Maybe Stratton was the one
behind the attack on Wendy Choo.

1176
01:02:13,296 --> 01:02:14,697
She got a pass on Wendy Choo as well.

1177
01:02:14,764 --> 01:02:17,300
[Booker] I don't know who did it.
And I'll not speculate or anything.

1178
01:02:17,366 --> 01:02:20,303
Or try to create some conspiracy theory.

1179
01:02:20,369 --> 01:02:22,438
I'm thinking
about this young lady right here,

1180
01:02:22,505 --> 01:02:25,308
Tiffany Stratton,
and that big move right there.

1181
01:02:25,374 --> 01:02:27,376
She's looking to get a big win tonight

1182
01:02:27,443 --> 01:02:31,047
which will take her straight
to that pay window, and I love it.

1183
01:02:31,114 --> 01:02:32,915
[Vic] We also have to mention too
with this matchup,

1184
01:02:32,982 --> 01:02:35,384
not a lot of time
for both these superstars

1185
01:02:35,451 --> 01:02:37,553
to prepare for the action.

1186
01:02:37,620 --> 01:02:42,091
[Booker] That's the thing, Vic,
if you prepare,

1187
01:02:42,158 --> 01:02:44,227
uh, preparation is the only luck
you're ever gonna have.

1188
01:02:44,293 --> 01:02:46,462
You ain't got to get ready,
you already have.

[Vic] Tiffany Stratton looking to continue
to prove she is the center

of everyone's universe,
at least in her own mind,

1191
01:02:52,869 --> 01:02:55,138
as Katana able to turn things around
in the matchup.

1192
01:02:55,204 --> 01:02:58,474
Nice take down as you see
Kayden Carter, her tag team partner,

1193
01:02:58,541 --> 01:02:59,742
best friend on the outside

1194
01:02:59,809 --> 01:03:03,146
trying to cheer her on
and continue to rally this momentum,

1195
01:03:03,212 --> 01:03:06,048
and nice hurricanrana take down by Chance.

-[Booker] Oh, wow.

might want to be rethinking

1201

some of the things
she said earlier tonight.

1202

Cover, hook of the leg…

1203
01:03:22,865 --> 01:03:25,067
[Booker] We always talk
about Carter and Chance

1204
01:03:25,134 --> 01:03:27,870
at the tag team,
always figuring out a way to win.

1205
01:03:27,937 --> 01:03:30,940
Right now she's on her own
and she's doing a hell of a job.

1206

Check it out, Vic.

1207
01:03:32,074 --> 01:03:35,144
[Vic] Bam, the human highlight reel
that is Katana Chance,

1208
01:03:35,211 --> 01:03:37,013
as now Stratton
trying to turn things around,

1209
01:03:37,079 --> 01:03:40,349
hoisting up Chance,
and look at this off, another counter.

1210
01:03:40,416 --> 01:03:41,751
[Booker] Great counter.

at the right time.

1212

she's looking to cash in,

1213
01:03:47,423 --> 01:03:50,593
like I said, what I call the diamond.

1214
01:03:50,660 --> 01:03:53,062

to the ring,

01:03:58,801 --> 01:04:01,804
that is Alba Fyre and Isla Dawn.

1218
01:04:01,871 --> 01:04:05,541
And Chance now trying to turn back around,
took a little bit too much time.

1219
01:04:05,608 --> 01:04:11,547
Stratton, door was open, and now trying
to close the door, rolling right through.

1220

-[Booker] I got it out. Look at this.

-[Booker] Oh, yes.

but did she get enough of it?

-And Stratton victorious tonight.

of her own universe with another victory.

Look, it's a bad time,
but it's not a bad life.

and that's the hard part.

is you don't get a lot of do-overs.

01:07:15,898 --> 01:07:18,901
[Alicia] The following contest
is scheduled for one fall.

1271
01:07:18,968 --> 01:07:22,304
Introducing first, Axiom.

1272
01:07:22,371 --> 01:07:26,542
[Vic] We saw a more fiery side
of Axiom earlier tonight

1273
01:07:26,609 --> 01:07:30,880
in that all-out brawl
that kicked us off here on NXT.

1274
01:07:30,946 --> 01:07:33,883
Axiom wanted to answer
the Wes Lee open challenge

1275
01:07:33,949 --> 01:07:37,486
for the North American Championship,
but couldn't.

1276
01:07:37,553 --> 01:07:39,755
A lot of other superstars couldn't either,

1277
01:07:39,822 --> 01:07:42,558
but Axiom had a war of words
with Hank Walker.

1278
01:07:42,625 --> 01:07:47,430
These two will square off one-on-one next.

1279
01:07:47,496 --> 01:07:50,633
And WWE celebrates Black History Month
this February

1280
01:07:50,699 --> 01:07:52,902
by working
with local nonprofit organizations

1281
01:07:52,968 --> 01:07:57,273
whose mission is to empower
the next generation of community leaders.

1282
01:07:59,642 --> 01:08:00,976
This Black History Month,

1283
01:08:01,043 --> 01:08:03,579
WWE celebrates
the true community champions.

1284
01:08:03,646 --> 01:08:06,916
Those whose mission it is
to enrich the lives of kids

1285
01:08:06,982 --> 01:08:09,385
through academics and community service.

1286
01:08:09,452 --> 01:08:12,388
The men and women who have spent 25 years
providing knowledge,

1287
01:08:12,455 --> 01:08:16,492
skills and courage to make sure
all individuals and identity groups

1288
01:08:16,559 --> 01:08:18,561
are valued and treated with respect,

1289
01:08:18,627 --> 01:08:21,063
and the people
who provide academic support

1290
01:08:21,130 --> 01:08:23,099
and college access to families.

1291
01:08:23,699 --> 01:08:25,401
This month, we celebrate those

1292
01:08:25,468 --> 01:08:27,837
who work hard
to strengthen our communities,

1293
01:08:27,903 --> 01:08:30,039
the true community champions.

1294
01:08:33,042 --> 01:08:34,543
[audience cheering]

1295
01:08:34,610 --> 01:08:39,081
[Vic] We're back live, wasting no time
because Walker and Axiom are ready to go.

1296
01:08:39,148 --> 01:08:41,650
You talk about someone
who's trying to find that grit,

1297
01:08:41,717 --> 01:08:45,387
that describes Hank Walker,
but this is a match that's happening

1298
01:08:45,454 --> 01:08:46,722
because of a misunderstanding.

1299
01:08:46,789 --> 01:08:49,325
-Just a misunderstanding.
-[Booker] Wait. Let's get this straight.

1300
01:08:49,391 --> 01:08:51,460
-[Vic] Simple.
-[Booker] I call it miscommunication.

1301
01:08:51,527 --> 01:08:53,529
-[Booker] Let's agree on that.
-[Vic] It's the same thing.

1302
01:08:53,596 --> 01:08:55,598
[Booker] The same thing,
can we agree on this?

1303
01:08:55,664 --> 01:08:57,399
Hank Walker was out of position.

1304
01:08:57,466 --> 01:09:00,736
The kid's timing is bad,
it was a rookie mistake.

1305
01:09:00,803 --> 01:09:02,872
-Can we agree on that?
-[Vic] There was a lot of chaos,

1306
01:09:02,938 --> 01:09:06,008
-everyone was trying to get to the ring…
-[Booker] You're always trying to make…

1307
01:09:06,075 --> 01:09:07,543
-You can't make excuses.
-[Vic] No, I'm not.

1308
01:09:07,610 --> 01:09:09,945
Look, Book, I'm not saying
that Axiom shouldn't be…

1309
01:09:10,012 --> 01:09:11,113
[Vic laughs]

1310
01:09:11,180 --> 01:09:13,516
[Vic] I'm not saying
he shouldn't be upset.

1311
01:09:13,582 --> 01:09:16,919
He has every right to be, both these men
wanted to answer that open challenge,

1312
01:09:16,986 --> 01:09:20,256
have the opportunity to face Wes Lee,
to make it, possibly,

1313
01:09:20,322 --> 01:09:22,191
a little bit easier
to get to Stand & Deliver

1314
01:09:22,258 --> 01:09:23,726
-as North American Champion.
-[Booker laughs]

1315
01:09:23,792 --> 01:09:26,629
[Booker] I'm gonna tell you right now,
in a matchup like this right here,

1316
01:09:26,695 --> 01:09:30,332
Axiom versus this big man,
he's gonna have to swim and not get bit.

1317
01:09:30,399 --> 01:09:32,801
[Vic] Oh, you talk about a pancake.

1318
01:09:32,868 --> 01:09:36,539
-[Booker] He just got splashed.
-[Vic] He flattened Axiom, did Walker.

1319
01:09:36,605 --> 01:09:40,276
And look, for Hank Walker,
he's tired of being looked down upon.

1320
01:09:40,342 --> 01:09:43,012
We've seen him get talked down to
by Charlie Dempsey.

1321
01:09:43,078 --> 01:09:47,049
We saw what Drew Gulak,
his "teacher" recently did to him,

1322
01:09:47,116 --> 01:09:48,250
and it's got to be on the mind

1323
01:09:48,317 --> 01:09:52,488
of what Axiom was talking about
earlier tonight, Walker is just angry.

1324
01:09:52,555 --> 01:09:54,957
[Booker] Oh, I mean, the kid…

1325
01:09:55,024 --> 01:09:57,626
[Vic] Into the cover,
and this would be considered an upset.

1326
01:09:57,693 --> 01:10:00,896
[Booker] He's got a lot of heart.
What'd they call it? Just true grit.

1327
01:10:00,963 --> 01:10:03,566
Uh, can he turn that into something?
I wonder.

1328
01:10:03,632 --> 01:10:08,370
[Vic] He just turned Axiom inside, bam,
out in a matter of moments,

1329
01:10:08,437 --> 01:10:10,973
and I don't think Axiom
wants to get into a slugfest

1330
01:10:11,040 --> 01:10:13,242
with someone like Hank Walker.

1331
01:10:13,309 --> 01:10:16,378
Maybe he does,
as Axiom tried to chop Walker down.

1332
01:10:16,445 --> 01:10:18,247
[Booker] I don't like that idea
right there.

1333
01:10:18,314 --> 01:10:19,381
[Vic] Ooh! Swing and a miss.

1334
01:10:19,448 --> 01:10:22,117
[Booker] Right now Axiom, he's a fighter.
He's a fighter.

1335
01:10:22,184 --> 01:10:24,119
[Vic] Another thing too, Book,
we gotta think about.

1336
01:10:24,186 --> 01:10:27,456
Both these superstars,
I mean, the locker room just on edge,

1337
01:10:27,523 --> 01:10:29,992
everyone wants to be part
of Stand & Deliver

1338
01:10:30,059 --> 01:10:32,561
-on WrestleMania Saturday.
-[Booker] Let's talk about it.

1339
01:10:32,628 --> 01:10:37,566
You got to work 365 to get to that moment,
this kid, Axiom…

1340
01:10:37,633 --> 01:10:41,237
[Vic] Big high crossbody. Not enough.

1341
01:10:41,303 --> 01:10:44,139
You got to wonder, does Axiom even have
enough weight to keep down Hank Walker?

1342
01:10:44,206 --> 01:10:45,407
[Booker] That's the thing there.

1343
01:10:45,474 --> 01:10:50,079
Hank Walker is 6'3",
tipping the scale right at 300 pounds

1344
01:10:50,145 --> 01:10:54,883
is definitely going to be a load
to work with for this kid Axiom.

1345
01:10:54,950 --> 01:10:55,818
-[thuds]
-[Booker] Oh!

1346
01:10:55,884 --> 01:10:58,887
[Vic] Ooh! You might have heard that
from Los Angeles.

1347
01:10:58,954 --> 01:11:01,757
-[Booker] Yes.
-[audience cheering]

1348
01:11:01,824 --> 01:11:02,992
[Vic] Listen to the NXT universe.

1349
01:11:03,726 --> 01:11:05,394
Oh.

1350
01:11:05,461 --> 01:11:10,399
[Vic] Walker's chest is starting
to light up red, and look at Axiom,

1351
01:11:10,466 --> 01:11:11,967
we've never seen this side of Axiom.

1352
01:11:12,034 --> 01:11:13,369
Axiom doesn't care how big you are,

1353
01:11:13,435 --> 01:11:15,437
how small you are,
how fast or strong you are.

1354
01:11:15,504 --> 01:11:18,107
He's standing face-to-face,
toe-to-toe with Walker.

1355
01:11:18,173 --> 01:11:19,842
[Booker] He's standing in harm's way,

1356
01:11:19,908 --> 01:11:23,078
I don't like that with this big man
because one big shot…

1357
01:11:23,145 --> 01:11:25,748
-[Vic] Oh, right there it was.
-[Booker] One big shot from somebody like…

1358
01:11:25,814 --> 01:11:29,485
[Booker] [inaudible] be a lucky shot.
I don't care.

1359
01:11:29,551 --> 01:11:34,056
[Vic] And the toughness of Hank Walker
on display in this moment.

1360
01:11:34,123 --> 01:11:36,792
The toughest test for Walker
and he's riding solo.

1361
01:11:36,859 --> 01:11:41,730
There's no Dempsey, there's no Gulak.
This is Hank Walker doing it by himself.

1362
01:11:41,797 --> 01:11:42,631
[Booker] Oh, my God.

1363
01:11:42,698 --> 01:11:46,535
Just think, six months ago this guy
was working in the parking lot at Macy's.

1364
01:11:46,602 --> 01:11:49,872
Inside cradle, inside cradle. Oh.

1365
01:11:49,938 --> 01:11:51,273
He was working in the parking lot here,

1366
01:11:51,340 --> 01:11:55,311
he was a security guard, turned superstar,
but that doesn't matter to Axiom.

1367
01:11:55,377 --> 01:11:58,881
Right now Axiom is focused
on making his point known.

1368
01:11:58,947 --> 01:12:00,883
[audience cheering]

1369
01:12:00,949 --> 01:12:04,620
[Vic] And one more time that… Oh!
If at first you don't succeed, try again.

1370
01:12:04,687 --> 01:12:07,690
And now for Axiom,
that fire's been building inside him.

1371
01:12:07,756 --> 01:12:10,559
[Booker] He's thinking about it, Vic.
He's thinking about it.

1372
01:12:10,626 --> 01:12:12,628
[Vic] Setting him up
for that Golden Ratio.

1373
01:12:12,695 --> 01:12:16,498
-[Booker] Wow!
-[Vic] Right across the jaw.

1374
01:12:16,565 --> 01:12:19,735
-[Vic] And tonight look who stands tall.
-[audience] One, two, three!

1375
01:12:19,802 --> 01:12:22,338
-[bell ringing]
-["Strike Force" playing]

1376
01:12:22,404 --> 01:12:26,075
[Alicia] Here is your winner, Axiom.

1377
01:12:28,010 --> 01:12:30,546
[Vic] I'm out of breath
after watching Axiom.

1378
01:12:30,612 --> 01:12:32,014
[Booker] This kid's unbelievable.

1379
01:12:32,081 --> 01:12:35,751
[Vic] Lightning quick,
huge strikes as well,

1380
01:12:35,818 --> 01:12:40,489
and I mean, this was all Axiom,
but some parts of this matchup, bam,

1381
01:12:40,556 --> 01:12:44,493
Hank Walker has shown
how much he has grown inside the ring.

1382
01:12:44,560 --> 01:12:45,761
In the end though, boom,

1383
01:12:45,828 --> 01:12:51,567
that Golden Ratio right upside the jaw
would be the difference-maker tonight

1384
01:12:51,633 --> 01:12:56,839
for Axiom against Walker here on NXT.

1385
01:12:56,905 --> 01:12:59,975
Look, we've talked about a lot of things
throughout the night.

1386
01:13:00,809 --> 01:13:03,746
As we've talked about the chaos
from the beginning of the evening.

1387
01:13:03,812 --> 01:13:08,484
Hank, keep fighting like that,
you're special.

1388
01:13:10,085 --> 01:13:12,688
[Vic] And look,
that chaos brought us this matchup

1389
01:13:12,755 --> 01:13:16,058
and a newfound respect of Axiom
towards Hank Walker,

1390
01:13:16,125 --> 01:13:19,962
but we also heard from the two-time
WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels,

1391
01:13:20,028 --> 01:13:23,966
and now we've heard from Grayson Waller.

1392
01:13:26,802 --> 01:13:29,471
G'day, Mr. Michaels. I want to say
a huge thank you for the night off

1393
01:13:29,538 --> 01:13:31,373
-and for finally getting back to me.
-[audience booing]

1394
01:13:31,440 --> 01:13:32,841
Now next week at Roadblock,

1395
01:13:32,908 --> 01:13:34,443
we can sit down face to face
in the biggest episode

1396
01:13:34,510 --> 01:13:38,680
of the Grayson Waller Effect of all time
and properly discuss Stand & Deliver.

1397
01:13:39,181 --> 01:13:40,449
I'll be honest, I'm pretty excited,

1398
01:13:40,516 --> 01:13:43,118
because I don't know which version
of Mr. Michaels is gonna show up,

1399
01:13:43,185 --> 01:13:44,920
when you sit down next to me

1400
01:13:44,987 --> 01:13:47,923
and you look in the mirror
at the man you used to be.

1401
01:13:47,990 --> 01:13:50,526
Will we see The Heartbreak Kid
one more time

1402
01:13:50,592 --> 01:13:52,528
or are we gonna see
the same old corporate stooge

1403
01:13:52,594 --> 01:13:55,397
in a suit and a cowboy hat that we've had
to deal with the last few years?

1404
01:13:56,198 --> 01:13:59,601
All I ask is that you show me
the proper respect though…

1405
01:14:00,702 --> 01:14:03,038
because they say never say never.

1406
01:14:04,373 --> 01:14:09,378
Don't make me put you in a position
that you said you'd never be in again.

1407
01:14:10,112 --> 01:14:12,581
[Vic] That's quite the message
from Grayson Waller.

1408
01:14:12,648 --> 01:14:15,117
Waller has been insubordinate,
he has been ungrateful.

1409
01:14:15,184 --> 01:14:16,718
Next week he comes face-to-face

1410
01:14:16,785 --> 01:14:19,721
with the two-time
WWE Hall of Famer Shawn Michaels.

1411
01:14:19,788 --> 01:14:24,626
A can't miss Grayson Waller Effect live
at NXT Roadblock.

1412
01:14:24,693 --> 01:14:27,963
And this is not gonna be about training.
It's not gonna be about admiration.

1413
01:14:28,030 --> 01:14:31,700
It's about gold and who will head
to Los Angeles as champion.

1414
01:14:31,767 --> 01:14:33,702
The Japanese legend Meiko Satomura

1415
01:14:33,769 --> 01:14:35,838
looks to add to her long list
of accomplishments

1416
01:14:35,904 --> 01:14:40,175
as she faces the prodigy, Roxanne Perez,
for the NXT women's title.

1417
01:14:40,242 --> 01:14:43,946
And we're also going to feel the fallout
of the Toxic Explosion.

1418
01:14:44,012 --> 01:14:45,614
We're gonna feel it next week.

1419
01:14:45,681 --> 01:14:49,518
Who will put the final nail in the coffin
of Toxic Attraction?

1420
01:14:49,585 --> 01:14:52,754
Will it be Jacy Jayne
or will it be Gigi Dolin?

1421
01:14:52,821 --> 01:14:55,390
First, it was Thea Hail,
and after the events of tonight,

1422
01:14:55,457 --> 01:14:59,328
Andre Chase will not stand by
as Joe Gacy questions his principles.

1423
01:14:59,394 --> 01:15:04,566
Will Schism be able to uproot Chase U
next week live at NXT Roadblock?

1424
01:15:04,633 --> 01:15:06,501
And we talk about combustible elements,

1425
01:15:06,568 --> 01:15:10,305
Indus Sher challenged The Creed Brothers,
and NXT Champion Bron Breakker

1426
01:15:10,372 --> 01:15:11,507
has evened the odds.

1427
01:15:11,573 --> 01:15:16,845
It is a six-man tag team clash
going down at Roadblock next week.

1428
01:15:16,912 --> 01:15:19,248
And who will serve their brand of justice?

1429
01:15:19,314 --> 01:15:24,119
Will it be the Don or will it be Dijak?
They meet in a Jailhouse Street Fight.

1430
01:15:24,186 --> 01:15:28,056
One will win.
One will be locked in a jail cell.

1431
01:15:28,123 --> 01:15:33,328
It's all going down live next week
at NXT Roadblock.

1432
01:15:33,395 --> 01:15:37,666
["Melo Don't Miss" playing]

1433
01:15:37,733 --> 01:15:43,205
[Vic] But it is main event time this week
on NXT.

1434
01:15:43,272 --> 01:15:44,273
[bell ringing]

1435
01:15:44,339 --> 01:15:47,342
[Alicia] The following contest
is scheduled for one fall.

1436
01:15:47,409 --> 01:15:50,879
Introducing first,
accompanied by Trick Williams,

1437
01:15:50,946 --> 01:15:53,949
Carmelo Hayes.

1438
01:15:54,016 --> 01:15:56,184
[audience chanting] Melo! Melo!

1439
01:15:56,251 --> 01:16:00,522
[Vic] The NXT universe is on their feet.

1440
01:16:00,589 --> 01:16:04,660
[audience chanting] Melo! Melo! Melo!
Melo!

1441
01:16:04,726 --> 01:16:09,398
And what a main event we will have
in a matter of moments.

1442
01:16:09,464 --> 01:16:13,001
The man who considers himself
a generational talent.

1443
01:16:13,068 --> 01:16:16,271
The one of one,
Carmelo Hayes finds himself

1444
01:16:16,338 --> 01:16:19,074
against a superstar one-of-a-kind,
Tyler Bate.

1445
01:16:19,141 --> 01:16:22,277
These two go one-on-one next live on NXT.

1446
01:16:25,547 --> 01:16:27,683
["Born Animal" playing]

1447
01:16:27,749 --> 01:16:31,019
[Vic] We have been waiting all night
for this main event.

1448
01:16:32,955 --> 01:16:38,560
[Alicia] Making his way to the ring,
his opponent, Tyler Bate.

1449
01:16:38,627 --> 01:16:40,128
[Vic] Can't be understated, Book.

1450
01:16:40,195 --> 01:16:44,333
This is a premium
live event-worthy main event

1451
01:16:44,399 --> 01:16:47,603
-that we have for you on NXT tonight.
-[Booker] Yes, it is.

1452
01:16:47,669 --> 01:16:53,342
[Booker] Tyler Bate needs to understand
he's staring at a lottery ticket tonight.

1453
01:16:53,408 --> 01:16:57,913
I'm talking about mega millions, man,
will he cash in?

1454
01:16:57,980 --> 01:17:01,516
[Vic] He's also staring
at Trick Williams as well.

1455
01:17:01,583 --> 01:17:05,387
[audience cheering]

1456
01:17:05,454 --> 01:17:07,589
[Vic] And for Tyler Bate,
I do got to ask this though, Book.

1457
01:17:07,656 --> 01:17:10,659
Does that Zen-like mindset he has,

1458
01:17:10,726 --> 01:17:13,462
does that make him an easy target
for some?

1459
01:17:13,528 --> 01:17:16,465
Take a look at Hayes' comments last week.
Joe Gacy, Schism.

1460
01:17:16,531 --> 01:17:19,134
[Booker]
No. This kid is no easy target for anyone.

1461
01:17:19,201 --> 01:17:23,338
I tell you, this kid Tyler Bate,
he falls under that same umbrella.

1462
01:17:23,405 --> 01:17:26,341
Uh, he will be champion
anywhere in the world.

1463
01:17:26,408 --> 01:17:29,711
He's just in NXT right now.
That's the problem.

1464
01:17:29,778 --> 01:17:33,448
[Vic] Tyler Bate declared he was back
to face new challenges,

1465
01:17:33,515 --> 01:17:38,186
and this certainly is a tough test
in Carmelo Hayes.

1466
01:17:38,253 --> 01:17:44,693
In some ways, Bate is what Hayes
aspires to be, a history-maker.

1467
01:17:44,760 --> 01:17:46,261
The champion.

1468
01:17:46,328 --> 01:17:51,600
Tyler Bate
was the two-time NXT UK Champion.

1469
01:17:51,666 --> 01:17:53,535
He's been on top of the mountain,

1470
01:17:53,602 --> 01:17:55,003
the moustache mountain
if you wanna go that route.

1471
01:17:55,070 --> 01:17:58,807
[Booker] People can see that. UK champion.
You can take nothing away from him,

1472
01:17:58,874 --> 01:18:03,378
but Carmelo Hayes, he's looking
for something much, much bigger.

1473
01:18:03,445 --> 01:18:06,581
He's looking to climb
that stairway to heaven.

1474
01:18:06,648 --> 01:18:09,918
-I'm talking about that man, Vic.
-[Vic] Yeah, you are.

1475
01:18:09,985 --> 01:18:13,255
[Vic] Look, last week Carmelo Hayes
told Bate right to his face,

1476
01:18:13,321 --> 01:18:16,958
"It's a good thing your journey
isn't towards the NXT Championship,"

1477
01:18:17,025 --> 01:18:20,295
but don't you think Tyler Bate
wants a rematch with Bron Breakker?

1478
01:18:20,362 --> 01:18:23,765
Don't you think Tyler Bate
wants to once again call himself the guy,

1479
01:18:23,832 --> 01:18:25,834
-the man, the champion?
-[Booker] Oh, most definitely.

1480
01:18:25,901 --> 01:18:27,235
This is just mind games right there.

1481
01:18:27,302 --> 01:18:30,839
My mind's playing tricks on me,
that's the Geto Boys right there.

1482
01:18:30,906 --> 01:18:33,108
Big shout out to my boy Willie D,

1483
01:18:33,175 --> 01:18:36,912
but it's all about putting yourself
in the game.

1484
01:18:36,978 --> 01:18:38,146
[Vic] You might be talking about Willie D,

1485
01:18:38,213 --> 01:18:40,048
but you gotta watch Trick Williams
on the outside

1486
01:18:40,115 --> 01:18:43,118
as Bate did not take his eyes off
Carmelo Hayes,

1487
01:18:43,185 --> 01:18:44,786
and you talk about a game of chess.

1488
01:18:44,853 --> 01:18:47,355
-You talk about human game of chess.
-[Booker] Oh, yes.

1489
01:18:47,422 --> 01:18:53,562
[Booker] But that boy, Carmelo Hayes,
looking to prove there's only one "Him."

1490
01:18:54,096 --> 01:18:55,297
I like it.

1491
01:18:56,565 --> 01:19:00,035
[Vic] Bate showing
great sportsman [inaudible].

1492
01:19:00,102 --> 01:19:02,938
[inaudible]. Another kick out,
and Hayes now reversing Bate.

1493
01:19:03,004 --> 01:19:05,607
Bate able to kick out as well.
Bate now getting right up, going over.

1494
01:19:05,674 --> 01:19:07,142
Shoulders down one more time,

1495
01:19:07,209 --> 01:19:09,745
another quick fall, no decision,
up and over.

1496
01:19:09,811 --> 01:19:11,813
Bate able to roll through,
rolls through one more time.

1497
01:19:11,880 --> 01:19:15,283
His shoulders are down,
trying to shift his weight around,

1498
01:19:15,350 --> 01:19:16,184
and look at these two.

1499
01:19:16,251 --> 01:19:19,654
You talk about evenly matched,
tit for tat, and one more reversal.

1500
01:19:19,721 --> 01:19:22,324
Shoulders down one more time,
referee in great position.

1501
01:19:22,390 --> 01:19:24,459
-[Vic] Oh!
-[Booker] Almost.

1502
01:19:24,526 --> 01:19:26,528
[Vic] Almost a three.

1503
01:19:26,595 --> 01:19:29,297
My brain couldn't move that fast.
Book, I was getting tongue-tied.

1504
01:19:29,364 --> 01:19:30,699
[Booker] Talk about that chess game.

1505
01:19:30,766 --> 01:19:35,003
Right now Carmelo Hayes does not wanna
get caught up playing games…

1506
01:19:35,070 --> 01:19:36,938
[Vic] Tyler Driver '97, looking for it.

1507
01:19:37,005 --> 01:19:39,474
Hayes had to roll through.
Hayes gets caught.

1508
01:19:39,541 --> 01:19:41,343
Trying to get dropped, and right back in.

1509
01:19:41,409 --> 01:19:44,012
This time Bate puts on the brakes
right back. Swing and a miss.

1510
01:19:44,079 --> 01:19:48,283
Going up, going over,
and now Bate baiting in Carmelo Hayes,

1511
01:19:48,350 --> 01:19:51,353
and turning right around.
Look at Bate move.

1512
01:19:51,419 --> 01:19:52,621
[Booker] Oh.

1513
01:19:52,687 --> 01:19:54,289
[Vic] This us what has made
Tyler Bate special.

1514
01:19:54,356 --> 01:19:57,159
[Booker] It's called a bait-and-switch
right there. That's what that's called.

1515
01:19:57,225 --> 01:20:00,395
[Vic] Hayes wasn't playing around anymore.
Hayes had enough of that.

1516
01:20:01,196 --> 01:20:05,167
[audience applauding & cheering]

1517
01:20:05,233 --> 01:20:06,234
No, you don't.

1518
01:20:07,068 --> 01:20:09,004
[Vic] Talk about two superstars
evenly match,

1519
01:20:09,070 --> 01:20:10,872
two superstars who want the same thing.

1520
01:20:10,939 --> 01:20:12,474
Talk about Tyler Bate too.

1521
01:20:12,541 --> 01:20:14,543
He'll be watching
that Grayson Waller Effect

1522
01:20:14,609 --> 01:20:16,812
very closely next week
with Shawn Michaels.

1523
01:20:16,878 --> 01:20:20,115
We can't forget that Waller and Bate
recently had a one-on-one match.

1524
01:20:20,182 --> 01:20:22,417
[Booker] As well as he should
because I'll tell you right now.

1525
01:20:22,484 --> 01:20:24,553
If I can give Carmelo Hayes any advice,

1526
01:20:24,619 --> 01:20:28,123
it would be,
do not sleep on this man, Tyler Bate,

1527
01:20:28,190 --> 01:20:31,126
because all it'll take is one shot.

1528
01:20:31,193 --> 01:20:34,462
-Here we go, Vic.
-[Vic] This could be that one opportunity.

1529
01:20:35,564 --> 01:20:38,400
[Vic] Huge risk
and a lot of reward for Bate.

1530
01:20:38,466 --> 01:20:41,603
[audience cheering]

1531
01:20:44,706 --> 01:20:47,042
[Vic] Back live.
And what a main event this has been.

1532
01:20:47,108 --> 01:20:50,779
Carmelo Hayes, Tyler Bate
here live on NXT.

1533
01:20:50,846 --> 01:20:54,382
And what action we witnessed
throughout the commercial break

1534
01:20:54,449 --> 01:20:55,851
between both these superstars.

1535
01:20:55,917 --> 01:21:00,589
As Carmelo Hayes in control,
and it's moves like this we just…

1536
01:21:00,655 --> 01:21:03,058
And you talk about innovation.
How about this one as well, Book?

1537
01:21:03,124 --> 01:21:07,462
Carmelo Hayes flying with ease
through the air to wipe out Bate.

1538
01:21:07,529 --> 01:21:11,867
[Booker] Makes it look effortless, Vic.
This kid, he's a generational talent.

1539
01:21:11,933 --> 01:21:16,204
He is a future Hall of Famer, but not yet.

1540
01:21:16,271 --> 01:21:17,505
[Vic] You talk about Hall of Fame.

1541
01:21:17,572 --> 01:21:19,841
Let's say what it is here.
Let's bring it back to reality.

1542
01:21:19,908 --> 01:21:22,911
Hayes is out here to continue
to prove himself week in and week out.

1543
01:21:22,978 --> 01:21:25,714
[Booker]
Hayes talks about that championship.

1544
01:21:25,780 --> 01:21:28,516
He talks about taking on Bron Breakker
and being that guy.

1545
01:21:28,583 --> 01:21:32,854
I wouldn't think too soon,
but he is, he is special, Vic.

1546
01:21:32,921 --> 01:21:35,590
He is an extraordinary talent.

1547
01:21:35,657 --> 01:21:37,392
[Vic] That's taking nothing away
from Tyler Bate

1548
01:21:37,459 --> 01:21:40,328
who seem to have found the momentum
once again here in this match.

1549
01:21:40,395 --> 01:21:42,464
-Trick Williams, what the…
-[Booker] Oh.

1550
01:21:42,530 --> 01:21:44,933
[Vic] Oh, a little bop and bang
isolating Williams,

1551
01:21:45,000 --> 01:21:46,801
and turning right around now is Bate.

1552
01:21:46,868 --> 01:21:51,039
And Bate now looking to explode
out of the corner with a suplex,

1553
01:21:51,106 --> 01:21:52,507
and we know what's next.

1554
01:21:52,574 --> 01:21:54,276
Standing Shooting Star connects.

1555
01:21:54,342 --> 01:21:57,746
Hook of the leg, cover,
and another near-fall.

1556
01:21:57,812 --> 01:22:01,883
[Booker] Not enough, Vic.
Not enough to keep Carmelo Hayes down.

1557
01:22:01,950 --> 01:22:04,352
You're going to have to come
with a little more than that.

1558
01:22:04,419 --> 01:22:07,956
[Vic] Take another look.
Boom, right under the jaw.

1559
01:22:08,023 --> 01:22:11,226
And not to be outdone, Bate, bam,
with that Standing Shooting Star.

1560
01:22:11,293 --> 01:22:12,360
We're talking about Carmelo Hayes,

1561
01:22:12,427 --> 01:22:16,031
this would be a huge win
in the career of Tyler Bate.

1562
01:22:16,097 --> 01:22:18,066
[Booker] Like I said,
all it takes is one shot.

1563
01:22:18,133 --> 01:22:20,702
Tyler Bate
could cash in that lottery ticket

1564
01:22:20,769 --> 01:22:25,106
and talking about mega millions
and become a star.

1565
01:22:25,173 --> 01:22:27,042
[Vic] It's Carmelo Hayes
who's going for the ride.

1566
01:22:27,108 --> 01:22:29,277
Up and around. Nice counter.
Shoulders down one more time.

1567
01:22:29,344 --> 01:22:32,280
This time it's Hayes who is on top,
and looking for that…

1568
01:22:32,347 --> 01:22:36,351
-Oh, pump kick that time connected.
-[Booker] Beautiful shot behind the ear.

1569
01:22:36,985 --> 01:22:40,255
[Vic] Coming back in, getting caught,
getting almost planted.

1570
01:22:40,322 --> 01:22:44,159
Able to withstand the momentum of Hayes
is Bate,

1571
01:22:44,225 --> 01:22:48,229
and somehow the Big Strong Boi
showing that strength.

1572
01:22:48,296 --> 01:22:51,466
[Booker laughs]
Yes, we're going for a ride, Vic.

1573
01:22:52,834 --> 01:22:54,903
[Vic]
And not a very good landing for Hayes.

1574
01:22:54,969 --> 01:22:58,974
Is this going to be enough?
And another near-fall.

1575
01:22:59,040 --> 01:23:00,175
[Booker] So close.

1576
01:23:00,241 --> 01:23:02,978
How much did that take out
of that Big Strong Boi?

1577
01:23:03,044 --> 01:23:04,846
That was a hell of a windmill.

1578
01:23:04,913 --> 01:23:09,651
[Vic] Trick Williams is very concerned.
Tyler Bate is a unique breed.

1579
01:23:09,718 --> 01:23:13,555
The more you beat up Tyler Bate,
the better he gets in matches

1580
01:23:13,621 --> 01:23:16,624
when he gets into some deep water.
Oh, got caught.

1581
01:23:16,691 --> 01:23:18,026
Hayes, as you mentioned, Book,

1582
01:23:18,093 --> 01:23:22,030
a student of the game,
but, oh, didn't see bop, didn't see bang.

1583
01:23:22,097 --> 01:23:25,900
And right now coming in
with a little boing is Bate.

1584
01:23:25,967 --> 01:23:27,969
-[Booker] Wow.
-[Vic] That could do it.

1585
01:23:29,070 --> 01:23:34,075
Huge victory for Bate, and somehow
Hayes got that right shoulder up.

1586
01:23:34,142 --> 01:23:35,477
[Booker] I told you, Vic.

1587
01:23:35,543 --> 01:23:40,014
You don't wanna sleep on this kid
right here because he's very talented.

1588
01:23:40,081 --> 01:23:41,082
[thuds]

1589
01:23:42,017 --> 01:23:49,023
[audience chanting]

1590
01:23:53,728 --> 01:23:55,063
[Vic] I don't like to repeat myself, Book,

1591
01:23:55,130 --> 01:23:59,868
but we did say this was a premium
live event-worthy main event.

1592
01:23:59,934 --> 01:24:02,670
[Booker] Decibel level just went up, Vic.

1593
01:24:02,737 --> 01:24:07,442
These two… it just broke out.
We're in a fight now, Vic.

1594
01:24:07,509 --> 01:24:09,444
[grunts]

1595
01:24:09,511 --> 01:24:12,113
-[Booker] Oh, that was hot.
-[Vic laughs]

1596
01:24:12,180 --> 01:24:14,349
Cholula green right there.

1597
01:24:14,916 --> 01:24:16,751
[Vic] I'm not even gonna figure out
what you just said

1598
01:24:16,818 --> 01:24:18,319
because I knew
what you were talking about.

1599
01:24:18,386 --> 01:24:21,089
You talk about a slugfest.

1600
01:24:21,156 --> 01:24:24,125
-[grunting]
-[Booker] Oh, yes.

1601
01:24:24,192 --> 01:24:29,097
[Vic] The unbridled passion
of these two superstars on display.

1602
01:24:29,164 --> 01:24:32,333
And now it's Tyler Bate going to the body,
trying to wear down Hayes.

1603
01:24:32,400 --> 01:24:35,403
Hayes trying to counter for a moment.
Coming in, catching Bate for a second.

1604
01:24:35,470 --> 01:24:37,539
Now going up, going down.

1605
01:24:37,605 --> 01:24:42,410
What a move by Hayes,
and Bate able just to kick out,

1606
01:24:42,477 --> 01:24:44,345
but there wasn't a lot on that kick out.

1607
01:24:44,412 --> 01:24:46,681
As another counter.
Shoulders down one more time.

1608
01:24:46,748 --> 01:24:49,484
-Bate [inaudible].
-[Booker] Urgency right now, Vic.

1609
01:24:49,551 --> 01:24:51,553
This is urgency from Carmelo Hayes.

1610
01:24:51,619 --> 01:24:54,622
[Vic] And it's Hayes, could be looking
for that knockout blow.

1611
01:24:54,689 --> 01:24:58,827
And, oh, what a cutter.
How much more can Bate withstand?

1612
01:24:58,893 --> 01:25:02,564
Another cover, another count,
another kick out by Tyler Bate.

1613
01:25:02,630 --> 01:25:03,832
[yells]

1614
01:25:04,332 --> 01:25:10,505
[Vic] A frustration could be going
through the mind of Carmelo Hayes.

1615
01:25:10,572 --> 01:25:12,841
First up, take a look at this shot.

1616
01:25:12,907 --> 01:25:15,710
Bam, that would've knocked out
a normal superstar.

1617
01:25:15,777 --> 01:25:20,181
Not to be outdone, another huge cutter
this time from Hayes,

1618
01:25:20,248 --> 01:25:23,718
and it still, still, Book,
couldn't keep down Tyler Bate.

1619
01:25:23,785 --> 01:25:26,855
[Booker] Like I said,
right now Carmelo Hayes knows exactly

1620
01:25:26,921 --> 01:25:31,392
what he's in with right now.
He's competing with a lion.

1621
01:25:31,459 --> 01:25:33,528
-[Vic] Oh, no, Bate.
-[Booker] Here we go.

1622
01:25:33,595 --> 01:25:34,929
[Vic] Bate looking up at Hayes.

1623
01:25:34,996 --> 01:25:36,731
Hayes could be calling his shot,
but look at Bate.

1624
01:25:36,798 --> 01:25:38,199
[Booker] Oh, that was quick.

1625
01:25:38,266 --> 01:25:43,872
[Vic] Heading all the way to the tippy top
for another massive suplex.

1626
01:25:44,973 --> 01:25:48,476
And take a look at Bate now.
Bate realizing it, Bate sensing it.

1627
01:25:48,543 --> 01:25:51,146
There's a sense of urgency
going through the veins,

1628
01:25:51,212 --> 01:25:53,047
pumping through the blood of Tyler Bate.

1629
01:25:53,114 --> 01:25:57,051
And one more time Trick Williams,
he gets isolated.

1630
01:25:57,118 --> 01:26:01,723
-Oh, nobody home for Tyler Bate.
-[Booker] Hard landing.

1631
01:26:01,789 --> 01:26:04,259
-[thuds]
-[Booker] Oh, no!

1632
01:26:04,325 --> 01:26:05,994
That man.

1633
01:26:08,396 --> 01:26:12,734
[Vic] And Hayes to the top.
Hayes looking down calling his shot.

1634
01:26:12,800 --> 01:26:14,469
-[Booker] Oh, yes.
-[Vic] Nothing But Net.

1635
01:26:14,536 --> 01:26:18,940
-[Booker] That right there, that shot.
-[audience] One, two, three!

1636
01:26:19,007 --> 01:26:22,277
-[Vic] And when he shoots, he don't miss.
-[bell ringing]

1637
01:26:22,343 --> 01:26:27,015
[Alicia] Here is your winner,
Carmelo Hayes.

1638
01:26:29,083 --> 01:26:30,818
[Vic] You can see in the eyes,

1639
01:26:30,885 --> 01:26:37,825
Carmelo Hayes knows
he was just in a battle with Tyler Bate.

1640
01:26:38,426 --> 01:26:41,596
And that one could've went either way.

1641
01:26:41,663 --> 01:26:46,534
What a main event.
What a night it was here on NXT.

1642
01:26:47,902 --> 01:26:50,905
We got to go back
and look at some of the action

1643
01:26:50,972 --> 01:26:54,576
-that transpired in this matchup.
-[Booker] Yeah, Vic, we got to.

1644
01:26:54,642 --> 01:26:56,578
Check this move out right here.

1645
01:26:56,644 --> 01:26:59,647
-[Vic] All the way from the top.
-[Booker] This could have been it.

1646
01:26:59,714 --> 01:27:02,250
[Vic] And we talk about a normal man
would stay down.

1647
01:27:02,317 --> 01:27:05,720
Somehow, some way,
Trick Williams would interfere.

1648
01:27:05,787 --> 01:27:08,990
That would buy some time
for Carmelo Hayes.

1649
01:27:09,057 --> 01:27:13,661
Nobody home, and that would allow
Carmelo Hayes to capitalize.

1650
01:27:13,728 --> 01:27:15,997
-[Vic] Boom.
-[Booker] Oh, yes.

1651
01:27:16,064 --> 01:27:23,004
And talking about sweet.
[inaudible] right there, Vic.

1652
01:27:23,071 --> 01:27:27,575
[Vic] And Carmelo Hayes would have
the sweet taste of victory here tonight.

1653
01:27:27,642 --> 01:27:31,479
As we talk about tonight, we gotta talk
about what's on hand next week.

1654
01:27:31,546 --> 01:27:35,350
Shawn Michaels will be live
on the Grayson Waller Effect.

1655
01:27:35,416 --> 01:27:40,421
Don't miss NXT Roadblock
coming your way in seven nights.

1656
01:27:40,488 --> 01:27:44,492
It can't miss here on NXT on USA.

1657
01:27:46,094 --> 01:27:50,298
There ain't no roadblocks
standing between me and Stand & Deliver.

1658
01:27:50,365 --> 01:27:55,103
There's only one man left, and I am Him.

1659
01:27:55,169 --> 01:28:00,575
-[audience chanting] Melo! Melo! Melo!
-["Melo Don't Miss" playing]
