00:00:00,934 --> 00:00:04,504
[WWE intro music plays]

2
00:00:04,571 --> 00:00:05,605
[male voice] Then.

3
00:00:09,642 --> 00:00:10,477
[bell tolls]

4
00:00:10,543 --> 00:00:11,378
[male voice] Now.

5
00:00:17,150 --> 00:00:18,051
Forever.

6
00:00:22,889 --> 00:00:23,823
Together.

7
00:00:28,361 --> 00:00:30,296
[energetic music plays]

8
00:00:30,363 --> 00:00:32,165
[Vic Joseph] Next up is Hollywood.

9
00:00:32,232 --> 00:00:35,969
Welcome to the final NXT
before Stand & Deliver.

10
00:00:37,370 --> 00:00:41,408
[Beth] Apollo Crews.

11
00:00:41,474 --> 00:00:43,910
[Vic] Twenty superstars in total.

12
00:00:43,977 --> 00:00:50,383
They're competing to face this man
to earn that fifth and final spot

13
00:00:50,450 --> 00:00:53,086
at the open challenge, Wes.

14
00:00:53,153 --> 00:00:55,388
First off, welcome back
to the announcer desk.

15
00:00:55,455 --> 00:00:58,358
[Wes Lee] Oh, thank you very much
for having me back, Vic.

16
00:00:58,425 --> 00:01:01,795
[Vic] It's over the top rope. Both feet
must hit the floor once that happens.

17
00:01:01,861 --> 00:01:03,329
-[Vic] Whoa. Oh.
-[bell rings]

18
00:01:03,396 --> 00:01:06,199
[Vic] Look at that Scrypts,
the bell's rung,

19
00:01:06,266 --> 00:01:10,937
and there's already the first elimination.
Quincy, is he gone?

20
00:01:11,004 --> 00:01:13,406
[Quincy Elliott] Yes,
he's been sent to the back.

21
00:01:13,473 --> 00:01:16,676
Once you go over to the top,
both feet hit, you are out.

22
00:01:16,743 --> 00:01:18,545
Wes, I got to ask you,
as the chaos has begun,

23
00:01:18,611 --> 00:01:21,281
that's been your word the last few weeks,

24
00:01:21,347 --> 00:01:24,050
is this the most pressure you've ever felt
not just as champion

25
00:01:24,117 --> 00:01:25,885
but since you laced your boots
for the first time?

26
00:01:25,952 --> 00:01:30,023
[Lee] Oh, 100%
but it's pressure that I enjoy.

27
00:01:30,089 --> 00:01:32,258
This is not my first Stand & Deliver,

28
00:01:32,325 --> 00:01:36,863
but this is my first one that
I'm going into alone and as a champion.

29
00:01:36,930 --> 00:01:40,333
[Booker T.] It's a plethora of talent
in that ring but my question is

30
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:43,336
why didn't you give Axiom
that fifth spot? Why?

31
00:01:43,403 --> 00:01:46,739
[Vic] He's got to earn the fifth spot
by winning this Battle Royal.

32
00:01:46,806 --> 00:01:47,941
He opened the door--

33
00:01:48,007 --> 00:01:51,244
[Booker] What I'm saying is,
is it something you fear about Axiom?

34
00:01:51,311 --> 00:01:54,280
[Lee] No, not necessarily fear, Book.

35
00:01:54,347 --> 00:01:57,183
I mean, I just want
a fair opportunity for everybody.

36
00:01:57,250 --> 00:02:00,920
[Vic] There's a lot of bodies as Booker,
man, look at Dempsey over the top rope.

37
00:02:00,987 --> 00:02:02,589
That's Jinder Mahal, of course,

38
00:02:02,655 --> 00:02:05,925
the former WWE champion
who's made a career of shocking victories.

39
00:02:05,992 --> 00:02:09,395
We see Axiom and Scrypts,
Dante Chen, hoisted high above the ring.

40
00:02:09,462 --> 00:02:10,697
Chen down.

41
00:02:10,763 --> 00:02:13,500
What an opportunity indeed
for any of these superstars,

42
00:02:13,566 --> 00:02:16,035
even Damon Kemp,
to make their way to Los Angeles.

43
00:02:16,102 --> 00:02:18,404
But Booker does bring up
a pretty good question

44
00:02:18,471 --> 00:02:20,473
as now Chen teetering over the top rope.

45
00:02:20,540 --> 00:02:25,011
Dempsey again, he's teetering and Chen,
if both feet hit, he has been eliminated.

46
00:02:25,078 --> 00:02:27,013
Why make it self-imposed?

47
00:02:27,080 --> 00:02:30,717
Why do this to yourself? I think that's
what Booker was trying to say.

48
00:02:30,783 --> 00:02:33,686
-[Lee] Understandable. I mean--
-[Booker] Oh. Wow.

49
00:02:33,753 --> 00:02:36,022
[Vic] Oh, the boot from
Dijak eliminates Chen.

50
00:02:36,089 --> 00:02:38,925
[Lee] But even though it is self-imposed,

51
00:02:38,992 --> 00:02:42,095
I need this pressure
to make myself better.

52
00:02:42,162 --> 00:02:46,332
I want to prove that I can compete
against any and everyone.

53
00:02:46,399 --> 00:02:47,233
Period.

54
00:02:47,300 --> 00:02:48,234
[Booker] I get it.

55
00:02:48,301 --> 00:02:51,471
Preparation is the only luck
you ever going to have, young man,

56
00:02:51,538 --> 00:02:54,207
and to make it on that next level,
you need that.

57
00:02:54,274 --> 00:02:55,542
I get it and I respect that.

58
00:02:55,608 --> 00:02:59,379
[Vic] Well, see, this is--
Oh, and another elimination

59
00:02:59,445 --> 00:03:02,482
as the field starting to shrink,
as Jinder Mahal in control.

60
00:03:02,549 --> 00:03:05,285
Obviously, Jinder Mahal has to be
the odds-out favorite

61
00:03:05,351 --> 00:03:06,519
to head to Los Angeles.

62
00:03:06,586 --> 00:03:09,856
[Booker] Jinder Mahal.
I mean, you got Dijak, you got Dabba-Kato.

63
00:03:09,923 --> 00:03:12,559
Can you imagine one of those guys
getting that fifth spot?

64
00:03:12,625 --> 00:03:15,361
[Vic] Damon Kemp now
is teetering and again,

65
00:03:15,428 --> 00:03:18,831
I mean all these superstars,
they're fighting for that final spot.

66
00:03:18,898 --> 00:03:21,467
-Kemp is out.
-[Booker] Wow.

67
00:03:21,534 --> 00:03:23,903
[Vic] Nasty landing for Damon Kemp.

68
00:03:23,970 --> 00:03:26,306
Booker's over here, he thinks it's funny.

69
00:03:26,372 --> 00:03:27,207
[Booker] No.

70
00:03:27,273 --> 00:03:30,043
[Vic] He's talking about money.
He's talking about cash and checks.

71
00:03:30,109 --> 00:03:33,346
You're about Championships,
you're about putting in the hard work.

72
00:03:33,413 --> 00:03:35,415
You're about giving opportunities--

73
00:03:35,481 --> 00:03:36,816
-[Booker] Vic.
-[Vic] What?

74
00:03:36,883 --> 00:03:39,385
[Booker] Those two go together,
checks and Championships.

75
00:03:39,452 --> 00:03:40,720
Those two go together.

76
00:03:40,787 --> 00:03:42,922
That's exactly
what I'm talking about here.

77
00:03:43,389 --> 00:03:44,891
[Vic] Oh, what a knee from Enofe.

78
00:03:44,958 --> 00:03:51,331
Dijak now is rocked and Dijak,
Enofe, Blade. Oh, whoa, whoa.

79
00:03:51,397 --> 00:03:54,467
[Booker] I'll tell you something,
guys, my expectation--

80
00:03:54,534 --> 00:03:57,203
[Vic] I think only one foot hit.
Oh, one foot was just one.

81
00:03:57,270 --> 00:04:00,773
Now, it's two. Dijak's been eliminated.

82
00:04:00,840 --> 00:04:02,408
[Booker] I'll tell you something.

83
00:04:02,475 --> 00:04:05,812
The one guy you better keep your eye on
in this match-up is Dempsey.

84
00:04:05,878 --> 00:04:08,014
That kid right there,
he's like an octopus.

85
00:04:08,081 --> 00:04:09,716
-[Vic] Look at--
-[Booker] Oh, wow.

86
00:04:09,782 --> 00:04:11,351
[Vic] Well, Dijak, come on.

87
00:04:12,552 --> 00:04:16,255
-What's the meaning behind this?
-[Booker] Retribution.

88
00:04:16,322 --> 00:04:19,259
-[Vic] Odyssey Jones.
-[Booker] That's what it's about, Vic.

89
00:04:19,325 --> 00:04:22,929
-[Vic] This is uncalled for.
-[Booker] What are you talking about?

90
00:04:23,730 --> 00:04:27,600
[Vic] Well, Dijak got eliminated
so he takes Odyssey Jones out.

91
00:04:27,667 --> 00:04:31,904
Jones can barely get back to his feet
and there's Jinder Mahal.

92
00:04:31,971 --> 00:04:36,676
Obviously, the opportunist sees
the window open

93
00:04:36,743 --> 00:04:39,379
and eliminates Odyssey Jones.

94
00:04:39,445 --> 00:04:41,514
[Booker] You talk like that's a bad thing.

95
00:04:41,581 --> 00:04:47,720
[Vic] Mahal. Oh, the former WWE champion,
trying to get back in Blade.

96
00:04:47,787 --> 00:04:51,257
Enofe is holding on.

97
00:04:51,324 --> 00:04:55,194
What a way to kick off the final NXT
before Stand & Deliver

98
00:04:55,261 --> 00:04:58,665
this Saturday in Los Angeles.

99
00:05:02,568 --> 00:05:05,938
Mahal, Enofe, Blade.

100
00:05:06,005 --> 00:05:10,043
Whoa. Trying to-- Oh, Crews.

101
00:05:10,109 --> 00:05:11,044
[Booker] Wow.

102
00:05:11,110 --> 00:05:15,181
[Vic] You talking about seeing a window,
Apollo Crews just saw one

103
00:05:15,248 --> 00:05:18,718
to eliminate a superstar
and there goes Scrypts who's out.

104
00:05:18,785 --> 00:05:21,320
[Booker] Wow.
What a great opportunity right there.

105
00:05:21,387 --> 00:05:23,589
You're talking about
that window being open.

106
00:05:23,656 --> 00:05:25,158
If you can see a window open,

107
00:05:25,224 --> 00:05:27,794
you better slide in and quick
because it can open.

108
00:05:27,860 --> 00:05:29,762
-[Vic] Big body Javi--
-[Booker] Whoa.

109
00:05:29,829 --> 00:05:32,231
[Vic] Gets tossed for a big elimination.

110
00:05:32,298 --> 00:05:34,767
[indistinct]

111
00:05:34,834 --> 00:05:38,805
[Vic] Who's going to earn the fifth
and final spot at Stand & Deliver?

112
00:05:42,108 --> 00:05:45,545
We are back and Axiom over the top rope
and able to hold on.

113
00:05:45,611 --> 00:05:48,047
This started with 20 superstars.

114
00:05:48,114 --> 00:05:50,383
The winner,
the last one standing will advance

115
00:05:50,450 --> 00:05:53,619
to the north American Championship match
and Stand & Deliver.

116
00:05:53,686 --> 00:05:57,290
The open challenge held by our guest
on commentary at this moment,

117
00:05:57,357 --> 00:05:59,792
the north American
champion himself, Wes Lee.

118
00:05:59,859 --> 00:06:03,363
Look at Walker,
trying to wear down Drew Gulak.

119
00:06:03,429 --> 00:06:06,399
-Dempsey from behind.
-[Booker] Check it out, Vic.

120
00:06:06,466 --> 00:06:11,738
[Vic] Walker and Gulak eliminated.
Gulak doesn't seem to care.

121
00:06:11,804 --> 00:06:13,639
He's going right ahead to Walker.

122
00:06:17,510 --> 00:06:20,113
We are down to six superstars.

123
00:06:20,179 --> 00:06:23,616
Oh, there's no love loss now
between Crews and Dabba-Kato.

124
00:06:24,317 --> 00:06:27,620
Well-documented history
between those two superstars.

125
00:06:27,687 --> 00:06:32,158
Oh, Crews now rocking
Dabba-Kato just catching Apollo.

126
00:06:32,225 --> 00:06:34,494
[Booker] Oh, the big man got him. Oh, wow.

127
00:06:34,560 --> 00:06:35,862
[Vic] See you later Crews.

128
00:06:35,928 --> 00:06:40,133
Obviously, he didn't have the vision
for what was going to happen here tonight.

129
00:06:40,199 --> 00:06:44,337
We are down to just five superstars left.

130
00:06:44,404 --> 00:06:47,073
[Booker] The one guy
I'm talking about Charlie Dempsey.

131
00:06:47,140 --> 00:06:49,842
He's pretty much hiding in plain sight.

132
00:06:49,909 --> 00:06:52,245
Let me tell you,
if he gets his hands on you,

133
00:06:52,311 --> 00:06:54,814
he's going to stick you like gorilla glue.
Oh, wow.

134
00:06:54,881 --> 00:07:00,219
[Vic] Little extra courtesy of Axiom
for Frazer and Axiom right in on Mahal.

135
00:07:00,286 --> 00:07:03,489
Mahal the former WWE champion
goes up, goes over.

136
00:07:03,556 --> 00:07:05,691
-[Booker] So close.
-[Vic] Able to hold on.

137
00:07:05,758 --> 00:07:09,295
I'm looking at our guest this moment
who is jumping and cringing

138
00:07:09,362 --> 00:07:12,565
in every moment as Mahal taken out.

139
00:07:12,632 --> 00:07:13,800
[cheers and applause]

140
00:07:13,866 --> 00:07:17,069
[Vic] Talking about a double team,
tag team action.

141
00:07:17,136 --> 00:07:20,039
[Vic] Wes, you were looking at
the final four.

142
00:07:21,040 --> 00:07:24,811
Dabba-Kato, the big man teetering.

143
00:07:24,877 --> 00:07:29,048
-[Booker] Oh, he's close, Vic. So close.
-[Vic] They're working together.

144
00:07:29,115 --> 00:07:32,652
It took three men to eliminate Dabba-Kato.

145
00:07:32,718 --> 00:07:34,720
-[Booker] Wow.
-[Vic] Three.

146
00:07:34,787 --> 00:07:37,356
[Booker] They had to band together
to eliminate that--

147
00:07:37,423 --> 00:07:38,257
[Vic] Hey.

148
00:07:38,324 --> 00:07:40,860
-[Booker] One big man.
-[Vic] What's going on, dawg?

149
00:07:40,927 --> 00:07:42,462
[Booker] What a great combo.

150
00:07:43,563 --> 00:07:44,931
He's looking at you, dawg.

151
00:07:44,997 --> 00:07:47,467
[Vic] But there ain't nothing
he can do about it.

152
00:07:47,533 --> 00:07:50,069
[Vic] You're really hearing it
from the NXT Universe

153
00:07:50,136 --> 00:07:51,771
but three superstars remain.

154
00:07:51,838 --> 00:07:53,506
You're taking a look at Frazer.

155
00:07:53,573 --> 00:07:55,875
You're taking a look at Axiom and Dempsey.

156
00:07:55,942 --> 00:07:58,678
Right now, one of these three
is headed to Los Angeles.

157
00:07:58,744 --> 00:08:01,247
Axiom trying to keep
his feet on the floor.

158
00:08:01,314 --> 00:08:04,684
He loves to fly high,
but he's got to stay grounded.

159
00:08:04,750 --> 00:08:06,752
[Booker] Oh, wow.

160
00:08:06,819 --> 00:08:09,455
Axiom all he wanted
was the opportunity, Vic.

161
00:08:09,522 --> 00:08:12,225
He's getting
the ultimate opportunity to get--

162
00:08:12,291 --> 00:08:13,960
-[Vic] Frazer.
-[Booker] Oh, whoa.

163
00:08:15,661 --> 00:08:16,896
Wow.

164
00:08:16,963 --> 00:08:18,297
[cheers and applause]

165
00:08:18,364 --> 00:08:21,667
[Vic] Who is going to be added to
the field this Saturday afternoon?

166
00:08:21,734 --> 00:08:25,204
[Booker] Oh, there goes Dempsey
with the balance. The balance of Dempsey.

167
00:08:25,271 --> 00:08:30,510
[Vic] Four are in, one spot remains,
and what a way to choose

168
00:08:30,576 --> 00:08:35,915
that fifth and final competitor and
what way to kick us off on the final NXT

169
00:08:35,982 --> 00:08:37,283
before Stand & Deliver.

170
00:08:37,350 --> 00:08:38,518
[Booker] Wow.

171
00:08:38,584 --> 00:08:42,255
[Vic] This 20-man
over-the-top-rope Battle Royal.

172
00:08:42,321 --> 00:08:46,425
[Booker] Big shot there
by Charlie Dempsey. Whoa.

173
00:08:46,492 --> 00:08:47,426
[Vic] Oh.

174
00:08:49,061 --> 00:08:50,630
He is out.

175
00:08:50,696 --> 00:08:55,601
Dempsey went over the top rope
and Axiom, presence of mind,

176
00:08:55,668 --> 00:09:00,172
I mean, a great effort throughout
this match-up shown by Charlie Dempsey.

177
00:09:00,239 --> 00:09:03,709
You can't take anything away.
Nathan Frazer, right here.

178
00:09:04,844 --> 00:09:09,982
Bam. Pinpoint accuracy,
and then not to be outdone just a little--

179
00:09:10,049 --> 00:09:13,586
Oh, Axiom realizing it
and now we are down to two.

180
00:09:13,653 --> 00:09:16,722
[crowd chanting] NXT!

181
00:09:16,789 --> 00:09:18,124
[Booker] Oh, yes.

182
00:09:18,190 --> 00:09:21,560
[Vic] You can forget about sportsmanship.
These two want to go to L.A.

183
00:09:21,627 --> 00:09:24,096
These two want to be
on the grandest stage of them all,

184
00:09:24,163 --> 00:09:26,165
-Wrestlemania Saturday--
-[Booker] Oh, yes.

185
00:09:26,232 --> 00:09:29,502
[Vic] At Stand & Deliver and the pace
is quick between Axiom and Frazer.

186
00:09:29,569 --> 00:09:31,470
Axiom now for moment was is teetering.

187
00:09:31,537 --> 00:09:35,441
Frazer comes back down, gets his right
foot caught, spins around, and connects.

188
00:09:35,508 --> 00:09:38,077
[Booker] When I first stepped
into the doors here at NXT,

189
00:09:38,144 --> 00:09:40,079
it was these two right here, Axiom-Frazer.

190
00:09:40,146 --> 00:09:42,815
[Vic] It doesn't matter about pins.
He's got to eliminate Axiom.

191
00:09:42,882 --> 00:09:45,818
Axiom able to catch himself.
Look at the quickness on display.

192
00:09:45,885 --> 00:09:49,021
Wes, you are going to have to compete
against one of these 2 men and 3 others.

193
00:09:49,088 --> 00:09:54,160
[Booker] Talk about Axiom, Vic, this Axiom
personified at his highest peak, on high.

194
00:09:54,226 --> 00:09:58,230
-Oh, yes.
-[cheers and applause]

195
00:09:59,265 --> 00:10:04,003
[Vic] NXT Universe on their feet.
One of these two.

196
00:10:04,070 --> 00:10:08,374
[crowd chanting] This is awesome!

197
00:10:12,378 --> 00:10:16,082
[Vic] This Battle Royal will determine
who the fifth and final entry

198
00:10:16,148 --> 00:10:19,885
is into Wes Lee's open challenge
this Saturday in four nights.

199
00:10:19,952 --> 00:10:22,822
Will it be Axiom? Will it be Frazer?

200
00:10:22,888 --> 00:10:25,324
Two men that had been friendly
with each other in the past

201
00:10:25,391 --> 00:10:29,095
but Book, as you like to say,
friendship thrown out the window.

202
00:10:29,161 --> 00:10:32,665
[Booker] Yes, indeed. I like it.
I love the competition of these two

203
00:10:32,732 --> 00:10:35,968
because we know they're going to throw
everything out the window,

204
00:10:36,035 --> 00:10:38,104
throwing caution to the wind, no doubt.

205
00:10:38,170 --> 00:10:40,973
[Vic] You can throw it out the window,
but you got to throw your opponent

206
00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:44,176
-over the top rope.
-[Booker] Wow.

207
00:10:44,243 --> 00:10:45,978
[Vic] Axiom might be out.

208
00:10:46,045 --> 00:10:47,913
If Frazer can get to his feet,

209
00:10:47,980 --> 00:10:51,317
he might be able to
dump Axiom over the top rope.

210
00:10:51,384 --> 00:10:54,687
-[Booker] That was a one-shot.
-[Vic] How the hell is Axiom moving?

211
00:10:54,754 --> 00:10:56,856
[Booker] That was
the one shot right there.

212
00:10:56,922 --> 00:10:59,692
[Vic] I think Axiom realizes
he had to get back to his feet.

213
00:10:59,759 --> 00:11:03,429
He had to get back to a vertical base
but now is in a precarious position.

214
00:11:03,496 --> 00:11:06,832
[Booker] Yes, right there.
Axiom is seeing the stars, Vic.

215
00:11:06,899 --> 00:11:12,538
Right now, he's about to go to the nebula
if Nathan Frazer can finish it right here.

216
00:11:12,605 --> 00:11:16,175
[Vic] Look at Axiom trying to turn it
around, looking to lock in a submission.

217
00:11:16,242 --> 00:11:19,845
Frazer, though able to block
and able to create some separation.

218
00:11:19,912 --> 00:11:23,683
One shot at immorality to win
a Championship at Stand & Deliver,

219
00:11:23,749 --> 00:11:26,852
to win a Championship
on Wrestlemania weekend.

220
00:11:26,919 --> 00:11:30,790
-[Booker indistinct]
-[Vic] Frazer rolling through.

221
00:11:30,856 --> 00:11:35,795
Axiom realizing it, saw that top rope.

222
00:11:35,861 --> 00:11:37,930
Nice counter right back to his feet,
got caught again.

223
00:11:37,997 --> 00:11:40,433
[Booker] Great vision,
but he didn't see that one coming.

224
00:11:40,499 --> 00:11:41,600
[Vic] Frazer's moment.

225
00:11:41,667 --> 00:11:45,438
Frazer's opportunity, looking to dump over
Axiom who sidesteps, Frazer.

226
00:11:45,504 --> 00:11:47,506
Frazer's two feet, no. They didn't hit.

227
00:11:47,573 --> 00:11:48,808
-[Booker] Wow.
-[Vic] Bam.

228
00:11:48,874 --> 00:11:51,877
[Booker] Oh, right back inside there, Vic.
Right back inside.

229
00:11:51,944 --> 00:11:55,548
[Vic] Frazer's momentum.
Wes, your eye just got really big.

230
00:11:55,614 --> 00:12:00,453
You saw the momentum carry Frazer back in
but this time, he's taken out.

231
00:12:00,519 --> 00:12:02,788
Axiom is headed to Stand & Deliver.

232
00:12:02,855 --> 00:12:03,956
[victory music plays]

233
00:12:04,023 --> 00:12:08,494
[Beth] Here is your winner, Axiom.

234
00:12:08,561 --> 00:12:13,733
[Vic] Standing ovation from all those here
in the NXT Universe

235
00:12:13,799 --> 00:12:18,804
and that includes
our NXT champion, Wes Lee,

236
00:12:18,871 --> 00:12:24,043
who now knows that
Axiom is headed to Los Angeles.

237
00:12:24,110 --> 00:12:26,645
These are the closing moments.

238
00:12:26,712 --> 00:12:32,718
Frazer was able to hold on and his own
momentum carried him back into the ring.

239
00:12:32,785 --> 00:12:37,957
But then Axiom not to be outdone
would eliminate the final hurdle

240
00:12:38,023 --> 00:12:40,459
on his way to Los Angeles.

241
00:12:40,526 --> 00:12:43,129
You can see the look in Axiom's eyes.

242
00:12:43,195 --> 00:12:45,765
He knows he can hit a Golden Ratio

243
00:12:45,831 --> 00:12:49,869
and be in for a golden moment
at Stand & Deliver

244
00:12:49,935 --> 00:12:54,907
as Wes Lee is realizing
the competition that surrounds him

245
00:12:54,974 --> 00:12:59,945
are the five superstars that will compete
for the north American Championship

246
00:13:00,012 --> 00:13:03,716
this Saturday afternoon in Los Angeles.

247
00:13:03,783 --> 00:13:10,122
Dragunov, McDonagh,
Dragon Lee, Axiom, and Wes Lee.

248
00:13:10,189 --> 00:13:13,692
Who will be the north American champion?

249
00:13:13,759 --> 00:13:18,531
Which of these five will have
their golden moment in Los Angeles?

250
00:13:18,597 --> 00:13:22,968
[music continues, then ends]

251
00:13:23,035 --> 00:13:26,405
Ladies and gentlemen. Sit back, relax.

252
00:13:26,472 --> 00:13:29,108
Grab yourself some
delicious snacks and get ready--

253
00:13:29,175 --> 00:13:31,477
-For a one-of-a-kind--
-Exclusive--

254
00:13:31,544 --> 00:13:35,314
Stand & Deliver
Pretty Deadly preview show.

255
00:13:35,381 --> 00:13:39,185
Oh, boy. What a star-maker performance
by Axiom tonight.

256
00:13:39,251 --> 00:13:43,589
Winning himself the Battle Royal,
and earning the fifth and final spot

257
00:13:43,656 --> 00:13:46,559
in the north American
Championship open challenge.

258
00:13:46,625 --> 00:13:50,529
What a gavel of vicious competitors
he will be joining in this one, Elton.

259
00:13:50,596 --> 00:13:56,101
The Mad Dragon Ilija Dragonuv,
the devilish gentleman JD McDonagh,

260
00:13:56,168 --> 00:13:59,238
the audacious champ Wes Lee, and finally,

261
00:13:59,305 --> 00:14:02,474
The Masked Mystery from Mexico,
Dragon Lee.

262
00:14:02,541 --> 00:14:06,045
A match formed from carnage
comes full circle with an encounter

263
00:14:06,579 --> 00:14:10,616
that's likely to be as unpredictable
as the events of its creation.

264
00:14:10,683 --> 00:14:15,054
My question is how is Wes Lee
possibly going to retain his title?

265
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:16,789
I don't think he will.

266
00:14:16,856 --> 00:14:21,360
I'm going for the man
as smart as you, JD McDonagh.

267
00:14:21,427 --> 00:14:23,229
-You're going intelligence?
-I am.

268
00:14:23,295 --> 00:14:24,797
Well, I'll go Dragon Lee.

269
00:14:24,863 --> 00:14:27,867
We know nothing about him,
and that's what makes him dangerous.

270
00:14:27,933 --> 00:14:30,870
-A wild card if you will.
-Oh, you love danger, don't you, kitty?

271
00:14:30,936 --> 00:14:32,838
-I do.
-We love--

272
00:14:32,905 --> 00:14:34,907
[both] You.

273
00:14:36,275 --> 00:14:39,912
We'll be back with more Pretty Deadly
hot takes throughout the evening.

274
00:14:39,979 --> 00:14:45,184
-As we continue on the road to Stand--
-& Deliver.

275
00:14:47,820 --> 00:14:48,887
He's fired up.

276
00:14:48,954 --> 00:14:51,790
-Tyler, tell them you're fired up.
-I am fired up, Mr. Chase.

277
00:14:51,857 --> 00:14:53,058
-Can you feel it?
-I can feel it.

278
00:14:53,125 --> 00:14:55,494
You were incredible
in the great debate last week,

279
00:14:55,561 --> 00:14:57,730
and now we're four days away
from Stand & Deliver

280
00:14:57,796 --> 00:15:00,199
where the future of Chase U
hangs in the balance.

281
00:15:00,266 --> 00:15:02,935
But tonight, you step in the ring
with Von Wagner.

282
00:15:03,002 --> 00:15:06,238
Someone who has trashed
Chase U time and time again

283
00:15:06,305 --> 00:15:08,173
and we've never been able to beat.

284
00:15:08,240 --> 00:15:10,209
But you're going to right those wrongs.

285
00:15:10,276 --> 00:15:12,778
We're going to ride that momentum
like a lightning bolt

286
00:15:12,845 --> 00:15:14,780
-straight to Stand & Deliver.
-Yes!

287
00:15:14,847 --> 00:15:19,385
And with Von's sheer mass and my speed,
momentum will surely be created.

288
00:15:19,451 --> 00:15:21,287
I'm going to harness that momentum

289
00:15:21,353 --> 00:15:23,622
and bring home a victory
for the University.

290
00:15:23,689 --> 00:15:26,825
I like the way your brain works, Tyler.
Duke, you're coming?

291
00:15:26,892 --> 00:15:29,228
I wouldn't miss it
for the world, Mr. Chase.

292
00:15:29,295 --> 00:15:31,196
All right. Let's take the field. Let's go.

293
00:15:31,263 --> 00:15:34,700
[everybody] Let's go.
Yes, let's go, Chase U.

294
00:15:34,767 --> 00:15:36,969
[crosstalk]

295
00:15:37,903 --> 00:15:40,072
Usually, she answers
after five voicemails.

296
00:15:40,139 --> 00:15:42,474
-This time, it was only three voicemails.
-Oh, man.

297
00:15:42,541 --> 00:15:44,310
-See that?
-It's looking up for you.

298
00:15:44,376 --> 00:15:46,445
Oh, Kiana messaged me.
They're on their way.

299
00:15:46,512 --> 00:15:48,314
Do you know what she wants to talk about?

300
00:15:48,380 --> 00:15:51,150
I don't, but buddy, whatever it is,
we're going to get through it.

301
00:15:51,216 --> 00:15:52,685
It's not the end of the world.

302
00:15:52,751 --> 00:15:54,720
The sun is always going to
come up tomorrow.

303
00:15:54,787 --> 00:15:56,755
Okay. Hey, ladies.
Kiana is everything okay?

304
00:15:56,822 --> 00:15:58,824
-Your message seemed a bit off.
-Well--

305
00:15:58,891 --> 00:16:00,025
Go on, tell him.

306
00:16:00,959 --> 00:16:03,896
These past few months,
I've really gotten to know you guys.

307
00:16:03,963 --> 00:16:08,067
Especially you Brooks.
What you guys have it's special.

308
00:16:08,133 --> 00:16:10,736
I don't know how to say this.
I feel horrible.

309
00:16:10,803 --> 00:16:13,272
Hey, it's okay. You can get it out.
It's all right.

310
00:16:13,339 --> 00:16:16,275
I feel horrible that you guys aren't
a part of Stand & Deliver,

311
00:16:16,342 --> 00:16:17,576
so I pulled some strings

312
00:16:17,643 --> 00:16:19,378
and I got you guys a match tonight.

313
00:16:19,445 --> 00:16:23,248
If you win, the triple threat match
at Stand will become a fatal four-way.

314
00:16:23,315 --> 00:16:25,017
-What?
-[both] What?

315
00:16:25,084 --> 00:16:26,085
-Really?
-Yes.

316
00:16:26,151 --> 00:16:29,521
Fallon and I were tag team champions and
I want you guys to be tag champs with us.

317
00:16:29,588 --> 00:16:31,757
-I can't stand you.
-Surprises.

318
00:16:31,824 --> 00:16:33,959
I know you hate them Falon,
but I love them.

319
00:16:34,026 --> 00:16:36,528
Kiana, you've knocked this one
out of the park, brother.

320
00:16:36,595 --> 00:16:39,098
We got a chance
at Stand & Deliver, Briggs.

321
00:16:39,164 --> 00:16:41,633
-It's huge, Brooks.
-Kiana, I cannot believe you.

322
00:16:41,700 --> 00:16:45,237
-Yes, Kiana, I cannot believe you.
-It's unbelievable.

323
00:16:45,304 --> 00:16:47,940
First, we win the match
and then on to Stand & Deliver

324
00:16:48,007 --> 00:16:50,409
-to become tag team champions.
-Hell yes.

325
00:16:50,476 --> 00:16:52,745
-Kiana, you are the best.
-Sounds great, baby.

326
00:16:52,811 --> 00:16:53,912
-Come here.
-Group hug.

327
00:16:53,979 --> 00:16:56,482
-Group hug. Come on, come on.
-Come on. There you go.

328
00:16:56,548 --> 00:16:59,852
[Vic] Kiana just keeps digging
deeper holes.

329
00:16:59,918 --> 00:17:01,387
[bell rings]

330
00:17:01,453 --> 00:17:02,855
[energetic music plays]

331
00:17:02,921 --> 00:17:05,657
[Beth] The following contest
is scheduled for one fall.

332
00:17:05,724 --> 00:17:10,896
Introducing first, accompanied by
Mr. Stone, Von Wagner.

333
00:17:10,963 --> 00:17:15,000
[Vic] Well, with Von Wagner,
there is something to be said

334
00:17:15,067 --> 00:17:20,172
that he's had a pretty good record
against Chase University in the past

335
00:17:20,239 --> 00:17:22,975
when you take a look at everything
he has accomplished.

336
00:17:23,041 --> 00:17:29,181
Maybe this is the match that he and
Mr. Stone can get back on the same page.

337
00:17:30,315 --> 00:17:34,086
[Booker] Yes, I hope so.
I mean, Von Wagner is a hell of a talent.

338
00:17:34,153 --> 00:17:38,023
In my estimations, when I look at
this kid, he checks off every box,

339
00:17:38,090 --> 00:17:41,260
but is there something missing?
I think so.

340
00:17:41,326 --> 00:17:44,129
[energetic music plays]

341
00:17:52,938 --> 00:17:59,211
[Beth] His opponent representing
Chase University, Tyler Bate.

342
00:17:59,278 --> 00:18:02,181
[Vic] There's a lot going on
in Chase University right now

343
00:18:02,247 --> 00:18:06,552
but the one thing that has brought
the Chase U Student Section

344
00:18:06,618 --> 00:18:10,456
along with the rest of Chase U together,
I think it's been Tyler Bate.

345
00:18:10,522 --> 00:18:15,661
His calmness has brought
a certain amount of zen to the campus.

346
00:18:15,727 --> 00:18:17,930
[Booker] Yes. This kid, he's a winner.

347
00:18:17,996 --> 00:18:23,502
He's a born winner.
Youngest single champion in WWE's history.

348
00:18:23,569 --> 00:18:26,205
That don't happen by accident.

349
00:18:26,271 --> 00:18:29,641
That don't happen by osmosis
or anything like that.

350
00:18:29,708 --> 00:18:32,311
That happens by putting in the work.

351
00:18:32,377 --> 00:18:36,415
[Vic] You've heard from Chase U, they know
that a win here by Tyler Bate tonight

352
00:18:36,482 --> 00:18:39,451
could really add some momentum
heading into this Saturday's--

353
00:18:39,518 --> 00:18:40,452
[bell rings]

354
00:18:40,519 --> 00:18:41,920
[Vic] Eight-person matchup.

355
00:18:41,987 --> 00:18:44,323
Can you imagine Book--
I want you to imagine.

356
00:18:44,389 --> 00:18:48,193
Can you imagine Schism is in control
of Chase University?

357
00:18:48,260 --> 00:18:52,397
-What they would do to that institution?
-[Booker] They would burn it down.

358
00:18:52,464 --> 00:18:55,334
That's the first thing they would do.
You know what?

359
00:18:55,400 --> 00:18:58,103
I wouldn't be against that,
but that's another story.

360
00:18:58,170 --> 00:19:02,908
Let's get back to Mr. Stone not believing
that this man, Von Wagner,

361
00:19:02,975 --> 00:19:06,011
right now, he's in a identity crisis.

362
00:19:06,078 --> 00:19:08,747
I believe that you got to
believe in yourself, Vic.

363
00:19:08,814 --> 00:19:11,884
You got to think you can do it.
You got to know you can do it.

364
00:19:11,950 --> 00:19:13,585
[Vic] Is that part of the problem?

365
00:19:13,652 --> 00:19:16,622
Is that why Von Wagner hasn't been
on the same page with Mr. Stone?

366
00:19:16,688 --> 00:19:22,027
[Booker] I believe so. One big win
can give him that hope of invisibility.

367
00:19:22,094 --> 00:19:23,395
That's something he needs.

368
00:19:23,462 --> 00:19:25,831
[Vic] Well, this could be that win
you're talking about,

369
00:19:25,898 --> 00:19:29,034
beating a superstar the caliber of Bate.

370
00:19:29,101 --> 00:19:31,703
We talked about a lot
on the mind of Chase University,

371
00:19:31,770 --> 00:19:35,541
a lot on the mind of Tyler Bate
heading into Stand & Deliver.

372
00:19:35,607 --> 00:19:38,443
But speaking of Stand & Deliver,
Book, I'm looking down,

373
00:19:38,510 --> 00:19:42,548
and I've been holding this contract for
this NXT unsanctioned match for a week.

374
00:19:42,614 --> 00:19:44,983
Is Grayson Waller going to sign
this tonight?

375
00:19:45,050 --> 00:19:49,588
[Booker] I hope so just so you can get it
out of your hands, Vic.

376
00:19:50,656 --> 00:19:54,159
[Vic] We'll also find out
that last chance triple threat qualifier.

377
00:19:54,226 --> 00:19:58,063
We'll find out who will earn a spot
in Los Angeles

378
00:19:58,130 --> 00:20:01,433
in the NXT Women's Championship ladder
match as Bate trying to battle back.

379
00:20:01,500 --> 00:20:05,037
Bate goes up, goes over but
as you mentioned the strength,

380
00:20:05,103 --> 00:20:07,005
the power, and the size of Von Wagner.

381
00:20:07,072 --> 00:20:10,242
[Booker] You can't overlook
the size difference of this matchup.

382
00:20:10,309 --> 00:20:11,143
[Vic] Oh geez.

383
00:20:11,210 --> 00:20:13,312
[Booker] Von Wagner is an imposing-- Whoa.

384
00:20:13,378 --> 00:20:15,280
[Vic] Into another cover
off the clothesline

385
00:20:15,347 --> 00:20:17,282
and just getting that right shoulder up.

386
00:20:17,349 --> 00:20:21,286
[Booker] Imposing at 6'5, about 250,
260 lbs but this kid, Tyler Bate,

387
00:20:21,353 --> 00:20:22,387
he's a fighter, man.

388
00:20:22,454 --> 00:20:24,590
[Vic] This has been all Von Wagner.

389
00:20:24,656 --> 00:20:27,259
Maybe Von does have
Chase University's number.

390
00:20:27,326 --> 00:20:28,560
Maybe that's true.

391
00:20:28,627 --> 00:20:30,529
[Vic] Now, let me tell you something.

392
00:20:30,596 --> 00:20:32,931
This kid Tyler Bate,
he's the ultimate wrestler

393
00:20:32,998 --> 00:20:37,002
but he can turn into the ultimate pugilist
at the drop of a hat.

394
00:20:37,069 --> 00:20:38,704
This kid will fight you, Vic.

395
00:20:38,770 --> 00:20:41,573
[Vic] Right now,
not a lot of fight in Tyler Bate.

396
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:47,613
Von Wagner has beaten down Tyler Bate
in front of Chase University,

397
00:20:47,679 --> 00:20:51,984
in front of Andre Chase,
Duke Hudson, Thea Hail.

398
00:20:52,050 --> 00:20:56,154
Whoa, this might be that turning point
because when it comes to Tyler Bate,

399
00:20:56,221 --> 00:21:00,525
the one thing we've learned, Book,
is his positive energy is contagious.

400
00:21:00,592 --> 00:21:04,029
Can he start to string together
some offense in this matchup?

401
00:21:04,096 --> 00:21:07,165
[Booker] Never say die, Vic.
Not willing to just quit.

402
00:21:07,232 --> 00:21:10,068
He's not going to just sit back
and just take it.

403
00:21:10,135 --> 00:21:12,104
He's going to go out there and get some,

404
00:21:12,170 --> 00:21:15,340
whoop some up because he's big enough,
bad enough to take some.

405
00:21:15,407 --> 00:21:16,541
Here we go.

406
00:21:16,608 --> 00:21:19,478
[Vic] Bate just getting tossed
and Bate coming right back in,

407
00:21:19,544 --> 00:21:24,583
and there's some of that textbook offense
with a big knee lift rocking Wagner.

408
00:21:24,650 --> 00:21:27,552
Now trying to drop on Wagner.

409
00:21:27,619 --> 00:21:30,722
Von staying on his feet and boom.

410
00:21:30,789 --> 00:21:34,526
[Booker] Oh, caught that shot
right there but not all of it. Von--

411
00:21:34,593 --> 00:21:37,596
[Vic] Little bop and bang
still hasn't taken down Von Wagner.

412
00:21:37,663 --> 00:21:39,197
Oh, wait a minute.

413
00:21:39,264 --> 00:21:44,469
[indistinct]

414
00:21:44,536 --> 00:21:46,238
[Vic] Mr. Stone.

415
00:21:48,206 --> 00:21:51,276
This is what you get for sticking
your nose in Chase U business.

416
00:21:51,343 --> 00:21:54,513
-Get him, Thea.
-[Vic] Yes.

417
00:21:54,579 --> 00:21:57,616
[Vic] Taking out Mr. Stone
in those ridiculous gold shoes.

418
00:21:57,683 --> 00:22:00,185
[Booker] I don't condone this,
Vic, but I like it.

419
00:22:00,252 --> 00:22:03,255
[crowd chanting] Thea!

420
00:22:03,322 --> 00:22:06,024
[Vic] Andre Chase
doing his best to re-calm down.

421
00:22:06,091 --> 00:22:06,925
[Booker] Oh, wow.

422
00:22:06,992 --> 00:22:11,063
[Vic] We still got a matchup going on.
Von Wagner trying to pay attention.

423
00:22:11,129 --> 00:22:15,567
Oh, a little help from Duke Hudson
wiping out Mr. Stone.

424
00:22:19,871 --> 00:22:23,075
Everyone's on the same page for Chase U.

425
00:22:23,141 --> 00:22:27,412
[Booker] Duke Hudson right now
he's looking very relaxed for some reason.

426
00:22:27,479 --> 00:22:28,814
I don't know what it is

427
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:32,250
but maybe he has something up
the old sleeve of Chase U.

428
00:22:32,317 --> 00:22:33,852
[Vic] Oh, look at Tyler Bate.

429
00:22:33,919 --> 00:22:38,056
Quickly, all the way to the top
looking to hit a spinny boy.

430
00:22:38,123 --> 00:22:40,859
-[Booker] Wow!
-Cover by Bate.

431
00:22:40,926 --> 00:22:45,564
Hook of the leg and Chase U picks up
the momentum heading into Saturday.

432
00:22:45,630 --> 00:22:46,898
[victory music plays]

433
00:22:46,965 --> 00:22:49,301
[Beth] Here is your winner, Tyler Bate.

434
00:22:49,368 --> 00:22:50,435
[Vic] I'm telling you

435
00:22:50,502 --> 00:22:53,505
Tyler Bate maybe should become
a counselor at the University.

436
00:22:53,572 --> 00:22:55,340
Getting everybody on the same page.

437
00:22:55,407 --> 00:22:58,910
Everyone working as
one tight-knit unit, this Chase U.

438
00:22:58,977 --> 00:23:01,947
[Booker] Maybe just an advisor, Vic.
Not a counselor, Vic.

439
00:23:02,013 --> 00:23:03,715
Maybe just an advisor. Here we go.

440
00:23:03,782 --> 00:23:06,451
[Vic] I mean, look at this.
Duke Hudson with the assist.

441
00:23:06,518 --> 00:23:08,120
Tyler Bate wiping out Mr. Stone.

442
00:23:08,186 --> 00:23:12,190
That would open the door
as Bate realized it in this moment,

443
00:23:12,257 --> 00:23:15,894
the high five,
everything was coming up Chase U.

444
00:23:15,961 --> 00:23:20,298
Tyler Bate would finally string together
some offense in this matchup.

445
00:23:20,365 --> 00:23:22,634
[Booker] Check this out, Vic.
Check this out.

446
00:23:22,701 --> 00:23:25,570
-How beautiful is that right there?
-[Vic] Bam.

447
00:23:25,637 --> 00:23:26,938
Bate got all of it.

448
00:23:27,005 --> 00:23:28,240
Picks up the victory

449
00:23:28,306 --> 00:23:31,777
and Chase U heads into the biggest match

450
00:23:31,843 --> 00:23:34,613
in Chase University history this Saturday.

451
00:23:34,679 --> 00:23:38,316
If they win,
they keep control, if they lose--

452
00:23:38,383 --> 00:23:40,085
I don't think they want to--

453
00:23:40,619 --> 00:23:42,988
Attention students of Chase University.

454
00:23:43,054 --> 00:23:44,856
[suspenseful music plays]

455
00:23:44,923 --> 00:23:49,561
As of this Saturday,
The Schism will be in control.

456
00:23:49,628 --> 00:23:52,130
The curriculum is changing.

457
00:23:52,197 --> 00:23:56,334
Time to open your minds to
a different way of looking at the world

458
00:23:56,401 --> 00:23:57,669
through a different lens…

459
00:23:57,736 --> 00:24:00,672
[suspenseful music plays]

460
00:24:00,739 --> 00:24:03,041
…under The Schism's tree.

461
00:24:04,075 --> 00:24:06,845
[music in crescendo]

462
00:24:09,781 --> 00:24:13,285
Take out a pencil and pay attention.

463
00:24:13,351 --> 00:24:16,154
Deprogramming starts now.

464
00:24:18,690 --> 00:24:20,158
Don't worry.

465
00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:24,563
We'll save a place for delinquents

466
00:24:26,465 --> 00:24:29,935
in the Andre Chase
memorial detention hall.

467
00:24:33,138 --> 00:24:36,475
This Saturday at Stand & Deliver,

468
00:24:36,541 --> 00:24:39,311
the world of Chase U will fall

469
00:24:39,377 --> 00:24:42,414
when The Schism takes over.

470
00:24:45,150 --> 00:24:51,823
When the bell rings, the new class begins.

471
00:25:00,198 --> 00:25:02,334
[crowd booing]

472
00:25:04,803 --> 00:25:07,272
Hey, Andrea. Is Shawn still in there?

473
00:25:07,339 --> 00:25:09,875
He was but he just stepped out to
go to his office.

474
00:25:09,941 --> 00:25:11,643
Okay, cool. So he's in his office?

475
00:25:11,710 --> 00:25:12,811
-Yes.
-Okay. Thank you.

476
00:25:12,878 --> 00:25:17,182
[Vic] Book, it's always good
to see Roxanne Perez but why is she here?

477
00:25:23,154 --> 00:25:24,856
[door knock]

478
00:25:24,923 --> 00:25:27,959
-Come in.
-Hi, Shawn.

479
00:25:28,026 --> 00:25:29,194
-Roxanne.
-Hi.

480
00:25:29,261 --> 00:25:31,963
-How are you feeling?
-Do you have a minute to talk?

481
00:25:32,030 --> 00:25:32,931
Of course.

482
00:25:32,998 --> 00:25:37,669
As of this afternoon, the doctors
have cleared me to return to action.

483
00:25:38,670 --> 00:25:40,639
-That's great to hear.
-Yeah.

484
00:25:41,439 --> 00:25:46,244
They told me that basically
after all the tests were concluded,

485
00:25:46,311 --> 00:25:49,881
it was a mix of body exhaustion
and my anxiety.

486
00:25:49,948 --> 00:25:53,752
It was through the roof that night
but I'm back and the only thing

487
00:25:53,818 --> 00:25:56,254
that's on my mind is my Championship
and Stand & Deliver.

488
00:25:57,756 --> 00:26:00,892
Look, Roxanne, first of all,
I'm thrilled you're feeling better.

489
00:26:00,959 --> 00:26:03,194
More importantly, I'm glad they found out

490
00:26:03,261 --> 00:26:07,065
why you collapsed in the ring but girl,
Stand & Deliver, I don't know.

491
00:26:07,866 --> 00:26:11,503
Look, your health is the biggest priority
right now, okay?

492
00:26:11,570 --> 00:26:14,940
I don't think defending
the Championship in a ladder match

493
00:26:15,006 --> 00:26:17,509
at Stand & Deliver
is the best thing for you, okay?

494
00:26:17,576 --> 00:26:20,211
We can crown a new champion
at Stand & Deliver,

495
00:26:20,278 --> 00:26:22,180
get a couple matches under your belt,

496
00:26:22,247 --> 00:26:24,616
and then right after Stand & Deliver,

497
00:26:24,683 --> 00:26:25,984
you get the first title shot.

498
00:26:28,286 --> 00:26:30,055
I won't lie.

499
00:26:30,121 --> 00:26:34,326
Being the NXT women's champion has been
unlike anything I've ever experienced.

500
00:26:34,392 --> 00:26:38,229
Saying you want to be champion
and actually being champion day in

501
00:26:38,296 --> 00:26:40,565
and day out is completely different.

502
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:44,869
Look, I struggle with anxiety.

503
00:26:44,936 --> 00:26:47,839
This year has been incredible

504
00:26:47,906 --> 00:26:51,142
but when you accomplish
your dream so fast it's like,

505
00:26:51,209 --> 00:26:55,113
"What do I do now?
Is it all downhill from here?

506
00:26:55,180 --> 00:26:59,818
Did I peak at 21?"
Then my anxiety just goes insane.

507
00:26:59,884 --> 00:27:00,885
That right there.

508
00:27:02,020 --> 00:27:07,626
Look, I know you're better physically
but mentally, you're just not sure.

509
00:27:09,461 --> 00:27:11,963
Roxanne, you're 21 years old.

510
00:27:12,697 --> 00:27:15,166
You've got a long,
wonderful career ahead of you.

511
00:27:15,967 --> 00:27:19,004
Look, there's going to be
other Stand & Delivers.

512
00:27:19,070 --> 00:27:23,742
Will there be? I can't think like that.
Did you think like that?

513
00:27:23,808 --> 00:27:27,178
Wrestlemania was the most important night
of the year for you.

514
00:27:27,245 --> 00:27:31,449
I know that you never had the mindset of,
"Well, there's always next year."

515
00:27:31,516 --> 00:27:34,953
It was here and now
and you stole the show every time

516
00:27:35,020 --> 00:27:37,689
and that's exactly
what I want to do at Stand & Deliver.

517
00:27:38,523 --> 00:27:42,727
My anxiety is crippling
but I can't run away from it.

518
00:27:42,794 --> 00:27:44,596
I have to confront it.

519
00:27:44,663 --> 00:27:48,333
The only way that I can do that
is by facing it head-on.

520
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:52,203
The only way that I can win this battle
is by climbing that ladder,

521
00:27:52,270 --> 00:27:55,540
retrieving my title,
a title that I never lost.

522
00:27:56,941 --> 00:28:00,045
Please, please let me do this.

523
00:28:00,111 --> 00:28:01,913
Please, let me do this for me

524
00:28:01,980 --> 00:28:05,116
and for everyone out there
that struggles with what I struggle with.

525
00:28:05,183 --> 00:28:09,187
That they can overcome it.
They don't have to be a prisoner of this.

526
00:28:09,254 --> 00:28:11,256
Please, please.

527
00:28:12,791 --> 00:28:14,592
I want tests. All right?

528
00:28:14,659 --> 00:28:18,029
I want a meeting with the doctors
and I want you to get follow-ups

529
00:28:18,096 --> 00:28:22,033
-and stuff like that, okay?
-Okay. I got it. Thank you.

530
00:28:22,867 --> 00:28:25,737
You deserve the right to defend
your Championship at Stand & Deliver.

531
00:28:26,638 --> 00:28:28,940
-You're in the match, okay?
-Thank you, Shawn.

532
00:28:29,007 --> 00:28:31,076
Thank you so much. Thank you.

533
00:28:31,142 --> 00:28:34,279
I will get everything for you. Everything,
I'll get it for you, I promise.

534
00:28:34,345 --> 00:28:37,048
Look, you're going to give me
a nervous breakdown, okay?

535
00:28:37,115 --> 00:28:40,785
Roxanne, you can beat this.

536
00:28:42,353 --> 00:28:43,388
Good luck.

537
00:28:44,422 --> 00:28:47,392
Thank you, Shawn. Thank you.

538
00:28:47,459 --> 00:28:49,861
[energetic music plays]

539
00:28:49,928 --> 00:28:54,132
[Vic] You know, man, I'm excited.
I wouldn't advise it but I'm excited.

540
00:28:54,199 --> 00:28:56,668
[Vic] We will find out with Roxanne Perez.

541
00:28:56,735 --> 00:28:57,569
[bell rings]

542
00:28:57,635 --> 00:29:00,138
[Beth] The following contest
is scheduled for one fall.

543
00:29:00,205 --> 00:29:04,375
Introducing first Valentina Feroz.

544
00:29:04,442 --> 00:29:07,078
[Vic] We talked about
positive energy with Tyler Bate.

545
00:29:07,145 --> 00:29:10,749
Same can be said for Valentina Feroz,
standing on her own two feet.

546
00:29:10,815 --> 00:29:14,285
Let's go back to last month here on NXT.

547
00:29:14,352 --> 00:29:18,490
We had seen Elektra Lopez time
and time again cut corners.

548
00:29:18,556 --> 00:29:23,428
Well, Valentina Feroz would do
the right thing

549
00:29:23,495 --> 00:29:26,331
opening the door for Sol Ruca

550
00:29:26,397 --> 00:29:29,467
to pick up a huge victory here on NXT.

551
00:29:29,534 --> 00:29:35,173
It's more about what transpired
after the matchup for Valentina Feroz.

552
00:29:35,240 --> 00:29:38,409
All you're ever going
to be is a little loser.

553
00:29:41,179 --> 00:29:43,715
[Vic] Tired of the disrespect, bam,

554
00:29:43,782 --> 00:29:50,355
that massive right hand with the brass
knuckle silencing Elektra Lopez.

555
00:29:50,421 --> 00:29:53,458
[challenging music plays]

[bell rings]

557
00:30:02,100 --> 00:30:06,838
[Beth] Her opponent, Elektra Lopez.

558
00:30:06,905 --> 00:30:09,974
[Vic] The one thing we've learned though
about Elektra Lopez,

559
00:30:10,041 --> 00:30:13,645
Book, after witnessing what transpired
at the end of last month,

560
00:30:13,711 --> 00:30:16,347
she's not going to sit back.

561
00:30:16,414 --> 00:30:19,517
-She's not going to be embarrassed.
-[Booker] Let me tell you something.

562
00:30:19,584 --> 00:30:23,221
Elektra Lopez is what's called
a ride-or-die chick.

563
00:30:23,288 --> 00:30:26,824
She's going to go out there
and win by any means necessary.

564
00:30:26,891 --> 00:30:30,628
Feroz, just to buy into that,
maybe she should have,

565
00:30:30,695 --> 00:30:33,765
which may hinder a much better place.

566
00:30:33,831 --> 00:30:37,135
[Vic] Wait a minute, hold on a second.
Feroz isn't about cutting corners.

567
00:30:37,202 --> 00:30:38,036
[bell rings]

568
00:30:38,102 --> 00:30:42,307
[Vic] It's about stooping to lower levels,
as both superstars going right at it,

569
00:30:42,373 --> 00:30:45,710
but look, Elektra Lopez remembers
that right hand from Feroz.

570
00:30:45,777 --> 00:30:49,647
Do you think, though,
Feroz made the right decision, truthfully?

571
00:30:49,714 --> 00:30:52,517
Do you think she made the right decision
to stand on her own two feet?

572
00:30:52,584 --> 00:30:55,086
[Booker] I like standing on
your own two feet, Vic.

573
00:30:55,153 --> 00:30:58,189
I like not being bullied,
not letting someone push you around.

574
00:30:58,256 --> 00:31:01,359
I get that, I totally get that,
but sometimes in this business,

575
00:31:01,426 --> 00:31:04,562
you got to cut corners if you want
to make it to the top quickly.

576
00:31:04,629 --> 00:31:09,100
[Vic] Oh. A takedown by Lopez who
certainly has a mean streak within her.

577
00:31:09,167 --> 00:31:13,905
Oh, and certainly can spread
some negativity as well.

578
00:31:13,972 --> 00:31:17,709
[Booker] Elektra Lopez, she wasn't trying
to make friends or anything like that.

579
00:31:17,775 --> 00:31:19,844
She was trying to mentor this young lady,

580
00:31:19,911 --> 00:31:22,947
trying to put her in the right position
to make some money.

581
00:31:23,014 --> 00:31:24,082
[Vic] Mentor?

582
00:31:24,148 --> 00:31:26,484
[Booker] Yes, that's what
this thing is all about.

583
00:31:26,551 --> 00:31:29,320
[Vic] Many in the NXT Universe
were excited for Feroz,

584
00:31:29,387 --> 00:31:32,123
who's trying to counter a submission
with one of her own,

585
00:31:32,190 --> 00:31:33,758
that she stood up for herself,

586
00:31:33,825 --> 00:31:37,528
that she was able to look Elektra Lopez
in the eye and say, "No, you're wrong.

587
00:31:37,595 --> 00:31:39,297
I'm going to do it the right way,"

588
00:31:39,364 --> 00:31:42,200
as Lopez continue to apply
the pressure to the ankle of--

589
00:31:42,267 --> 00:31:43,835
-[Booker] Vic, Vic.
-[Vic] What?

590
00:31:43,901 --> 00:31:46,604
[Booker] You know what they say
about good guys, right?

591
00:31:46,671 --> 00:31:49,274
You know where they finish, right?
They finish last.

592
00:31:49,340 --> 00:31:52,343
They don't finish at the top,
and we're talking about winning.

593
00:31:52,410 --> 00:31:54,212
That's what Elektra's talking about.

594
00:31:54,279 --> 00:31:57,048
[Vic] Feroz might prove you
wrong here tonight

595
00:31:57,115 --> 00:32:00,318
as she goes into the cover,
a hook of the leg, and a kickout.

596
00:32:00,385 --> 00:32:02,620
The conscience of Feroz took over.

597
00:32:02,687 --> 00:32:06,491
I, for one, I'm happy that she was able to
step up and stand up for herself.

598
00:32:06,557 --> 00:32:10,328
[Booker] If Valentina wins, this match
is still not going to prove me wrong.

599
00:32:10,395 --> 00:32:12,597
It's about checks.
It's about Championships.

600
00:32:12,664 --> 00:32:15,366
It's about making it to the top.
You know what I'm saying?

601
00:32:15,433 --> 00:32:17,936
[Vic] Into that cover
and a kickout again by Lopez.

602
00:32:18,002 --> 00:32:19,103
[Booker] Oh, so close.

603
00:32:19,170 --> 00:32:22,273
Well, right now Elektra Lopez
isn't looking that great, is she?

604
00:32:22,340 --> 00:32:25,276
It's Feroz who's in control,
and she's doing it her own way.

605
00:32:25,343 --> 00:32:26,911
[Booker] Valentina has talent.

606
00:32:26,978 --> 00:32:29,947
She didn't make it to NXT
by accident or anything like that,

607
00:32:30,014 --> 00:32:33,952
but right now she's in with one
of NXT's finest, one of NXT's pillars,

608
00:32:34,018 --> 00:32:37,121
and that's Elektra Lopez. Oh, yes.

609
00:32:37,188 --> 00:32:41,192
[Vic] Oh, Elektra shock through the spine,
into the cover, and Lopez--

00:32:41,259 --> 00:32:42,460
[bell rings]

611
00:32:42,527 --> 00:32:46,097
-[Vic] Is the one who stands tall tonight.
-[Booker] Should've listened.

612
00:32:46,164 --> 00:32:49,734
[Beth] Here's your winner, Elektra Lopez.

613
00:32:49,801 --> 00:32:52,070
[Booker] She should've listened, right?

614
00:32:53,004 --> 00:32:55,173
[Vic] Yes, yes, whatever you say, Book.

615
00:32:57,542 --> 00:32:59,344
[male voice] Music is celebration.

616
00:32:59,977 --> 00:33:03,948
When I make music, I can feel the spirit
of my people behind me.

617
00:33:05,383 --> 00:33:07,418
It is my honor to lead the way.

618
00:33:08,753 --> 00:33:15,326
Like an Alpha Wolf, I will conquer
this territory and everything in it.

Introducing Eddy Thorpe.

623
00:33:49,394 --> 00:33:54,432
[Vic] Well, this is a highly anticipated
debut here on NXT.

624
00:33:57,301 --> 00:33:59,370
You can hear the NXT Universe already.

625
00:33:59,437 --> 00:34:04,242
Again, it's showing that
the best of the best come to NXT.

626
00:34:05,376 --> 00:34:08,079
[Booker] I don't know
a whole lot about this kid, Vic.

627
00:34:08,146 --> 00:34:10,782
Wise me up.
Tell me a little something about this kid.

628
00:34:10,848 --> 00:34:14,886
[Vic] Oh, this is one of the biggest stats
about Thorpe that we all need to learn.

629
00:34:14,952 --> 00:34:16,654
A lot of success internationally.

630
00:34:16,721 --> 00:34:20,291
A lot of success in Japan
as he gets ready to face Myles Thorne.

631
00:34:20,358 --> 00:34:21,259
[bell rings]

632
00:34:21,325 --> 00:34:25,129
[Vic] Those are some big stats for Thorpe,
and I bring it to you now.

633
00:34:25,196 --> 00:34:29,834
How does that international
success transition to NXT?

634
00:34:29,901 --> 00:34:34,572
[Booker] That world-traveling experience
becoming that grizzle veteran is very,

635
00:34:34,639 --> 00:34:35,606
very important.

636
00:34:35,673 --> 00:34:38,509
My first trip out of
the country was to Japan.

637
00:34:38,576 --> 00:34:41,446
The respect, the honor,
is totally different there.

638
00:34:41,512 --> 00:34:43,714
I'm sure this kid is on top of his game.

639
00:34:43,781 --> 00:34:46,617
[Vic] A nice takedown by Thorne,
of course, who has caught the eye

640
00:34:46,684 --> 00:34:47,985
of the NXT coaches.

641
00:34:48,052 --> 00:34:50,655
Thorne shouldn't be a superstar
that is overlooked.

642
00:34:50,721 --> 00:34:53,424
Would love to play the role
of spoilers, so to speak,

643
00:34:53,491 --> 00:34:55,726
here tonight in his debut,
but look at Thorpe.

644
00:34:57,228 --> 00:34:58,296
Oh!

645
00:35:01,599 --> 00:35:02,834
A nice high crossbody.

646
00:35:02,900 --> 00:35:06,437
Oh, nice follow-up dropkick by Thorne,
taken out Thorpe.

647
00:35:06,504 --> 00:35:08,873
Thorpe, of course, we've seen talks about

648
00:35:08,940 --> 00:35:12,410
that he carries a lot of responsibility
on his shoulders.

649
00:35:12,477 --> 00:35:15,279
There's been a lot of buzz
surrounding Eddy Thorpe.

650
00:35:15,346 --> 00:35:19,283
How does one stay composed in such
a high-pressure situation as tonight is?

651
00:35:19,350 --> 00:35:22,320
[Booker] Myles Thorne,
he's in a situation right here.

652
00:35:22,386 --> 00:35:24,188
He's in a sticky situation.

653
00:35:24,255 --> 00:35:26,657
If he could get a win here
over this kid, Thorpe,

654
00:35:26,724 --> 00:35:29,694
it's going to put him right up
under that light

655
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:31,462
that he's going to be looking for,

656
00:35:31,529 --> 00:35:34,899
and that's the picture that
you want to be in, Vic. Trust me.

657
00:35:34,966 --> 00:35:37,935
[Vic] Well, for Thorpe,
when it comes to the bigger picture,

658
00:35:38,002 --> 00:35:40,771
we start to think about
this Saturday, four nights.

659
00:35:40,838 --> 00:35:43,808
NXT Stand & Deliver in Los Angeles.

660
00:35:43,875 --> 00:35:46,711
Both these superstars want one day
to be on that stage.

661
00:35:46,777 --> 00:35:50,181
For Eddy Thorpe, he'd like to have it
happen sooner rather than later.

662
00:35:50,248 --> 00:35:52,750
[Booker] Look at these kids,
Vic, and you can tell

663
00:35:52,817 --> 00:35:55,386
they both want to get into
that main event one day--

664
00:35:55,453 --> 00:35:56,354
[Vic] Oh, nice.

665
00:35:56,420 --> 00:35:59,490
Belly to belly into the cover,
hook the leg, Thorpe kicks out.

666
00:35:59,557 --> 00:36:02,226
[Booker] Take a lot of patience.
It's going to take a lot of training.

667
00:36:02,293 --> 00:36:04,595
I always say, preparation.
Preparation, Vic,

668
00:36:04,662 --> 00:36:07,698
is the only luck you're ever going to
have in this business.

669
00:36:07,765 --> 00:36:09,634
That's what these young men
are doing right now.

670
00:36:10,168 --> 00:36:13,571
[Vic] NXT Universe trying to rally
Eddy Thorpe in this moment.

671
00:36:13,638 --> 00:36:16,507
This is when you talk about,
Book, that journey,

672
00:36:16,574 --> 00:36:18,843
going through to Japan,
going through Mexico.

673
00:36:18,910 --> 00:36:20,478
[Booker] Yes, indeed.

674
00:36:20,978 --> 00:36:22,346
[Vic] Oh, nice takedown.

675
00:36:24,916 --> 00:36:27,185
Now Thorpe charging right back in,

676
00:36:27,251 --> 00:36:29,520
and this is where we're starting to see
what Thorpe is about.

677
00:36:29,587 --> 00:36:32,557
Starting to see what all
that buzz about Thorpe is.

678
00:36:32,623 --> 00:36:35,793
What a stinging kick to Thorne.

679
00:36:35,860 --> 00:36:39,197
[Booker] Educated feet
from this kid, Eddy Thorpe.

680
00:36:39,263 --> 00:36:44,235
[Vic] Oh, right back in,
and Thorpe now looking to toss Thorne.

681
00:36:44,302 --> 00:36:47,672
[Booker] Beautiful high hip block
right there by this young man.

682
00:36:47,738 --> 00:36:51,275
[Vic] What we're seeing here with Thorpe
is a lot of going to the basics,

683
00:36:51,342 --> 00:36:53,644
going to the well--
into the cover and a kickout.

684
00:36:53,711 --> 00:36:58,749
Nothing flashy from Thorpe, but he is
all business in the ring here tonight.

685
00:36:58,816 --> 00:37:00,918
[Booker] Yes. I'm watching this kid, Vic.

686
00:37:00,985 --> 00:37:03,287
He still has a lot of training to do,

687
00:37:03,354 --> 00:37:05,456
but right now
he's on the right path to get

688
00:37:05,523 --> 00:37:08,759
to that next level
that he's looking for. Oh.

689
00:37:08,826 --> 00:37:12,263
[Vic] Trying to create a little
separation. Thorne swinging wildly.

690
00:37:12,330 --> 00:37:13,464
Oh, gets dropped.

691
00:37:13,531 --> 00:37:16,934
Saito suplex connects,
and Thorpe now right back to his feet.

692
00:37:17,001 --> 00:37:19,837
-Oh, wow.
-[Booker] Wow.

693
00:37:19,904 --> 00:37:22,940
[Vic] High-impact offense,
into the cover, and welcome to NXT.

694
00:37:23,007 --> 00:37:24,942
[bell rings]

695
00:37:25,009 --> 00:37:26,510
[cheers and applause]

696
00:37:26,577 --> 00:37:27,878
[Booker] Look at the eyes.

697
00:37:27,945 --> 00:37:30,047
[Beth] Here is your winner, Eddy Thorpe.

698
00:37:30,114 --> 00:37:33,117
[Booker] The eyes of
that young man, Vic, tell the story.

699
00:37:33,184 --> 00:37:36,354
[Vic] They say
it takes you to the soul, Book.

700
00:37:36,420 --> 00:37:37,989
[victory music plays]

701
00:37:38,055 --> 00:37:39,890
What a big victory. What a debut.

702
00:37:39,957 --> 00:37:43,027
Look, Thorpe was in control
of this matchup.

703
00:37:43,094 --> 00:37:46,230
Whether it was strikes,
whether it was going down to the mat,

704
00:37:46,297 --> 00:37:50,768
or whether it was his high-impact
unique style did Eddy Thorpe

705
00:37:50,835 --> 00:37:53,838
open your eyes here tonight on NXT.

706
00:37:54,472 --> 00:37:56,574
I'm coming for everything.

707
00:37:57,808 --> 00:37:59,043
[Booker] Yes.

708
00:37:59,110 --> 00:38:01,612
Now, I like this kid.
This kid has a future.

709
00:38:05,850 --> 00:38:09,520
-Oh, Elton, what a night to headline.
-Yes, quite so.

710
00:38:09,587 --> 00:38:12,490
A very impressive debut victory
for Eddy Thorpe there.

711
00:38:12,556 --> 00:38:15,293
-I must say it's not all smiles.
-Right you are, kitty.

712
00:38:15,359 --> 00:38:18,229
Here we are on the Grayson Waller effect.

713
00:38:18,296 --> 00:38:22,800
Grayson Waller versus Johnny Gargano
has now become more than personal.

714
00:38:22,867 --> 00:38:24,902
I'd say that's putting it lightly, boy.

715
00:38:24,969 --> 00:38:27,738
You know what they say,
never mess with a man's family.

716
00:38:27,805 --> 00:38:30,708
That certainly gave a new meaning to
the phrase viral moment.

717
00:38:30,775 --> 00:38:33,978
Johnny Gargano has now got to do
everything in his power

718
00:38:34,045 --> 00:38:35,880
to exact revenge on Grayson Waller.

719
00:38:35,946 --> 00:38:38,616
On top of that,
he wants an unsanctioned match.

720
00:38:38,683 --> 00:38:42,753
Which begs the question,
will Waller sign the agreement?

721
00:38:42,820 --> 00:38:44,021
Would you sign it?

722
00:38:44,088 --> 00:38:47,325
Would you agree to the stipulations
knowing the danger that awaits you,

723
00:38:47,391 --> 00:38:51,629
a match so brutal
it could take years off of your career?

724
00:38:52,663 --> 00:38:56,701
I would but only to defend your honor.

725
00:38:56,767 --> 00:38:59,236
You're so selfless, so brave.

726
00:38:59,303 --> 00:39:03,274
Well, as you know, that is my middle name,
Kit Bravery Wilson.

727
00:39:03,341 --> 00:39:06,944
Well, well, I'm here for it, and you are
here for more Pretty Deadly talk.

728
00:39:07,011 --> 00:39:11,949
-Coming up as we head towards Stand--
-& Deliver.

729
00:39:15,152 --> 00:39:20,291
[rock music plays]

730
00:39:25,696 --> 00:39:26,664
[bell rings]

731
00:39:26,731 --> 00:39:31,001
[Beth] The following is
a last-chance triple-threat match.

732
00:39:31,068 --> 00:39:35,639
Introducing first, Sol Ruca.

733
00:39:35,706 --> 00:39:37,775
[Vic] We just saw Thorpe moments ago.

734
00:39:37,842 --> 00:39:40,277
When we talk about breakout superstars,

735
00:39:40,344 --> 00:39:43,514
we're looking at one right here
and right now.

736
00:39:43,581 --> 00:39:48,753
Three women, one spot, the last-chance
triple threat to go to Stand & Deliver.

737
00:39:48,819 --> 00:39:52,123
Who's headed to L.A.? We'll find out next.

738
00:39:54,625 --> 00:39:58,195
Gallus, we only saw the aftermath of
what happened last week at the bar.

739
00:39:58,262 --> 00:40:01,665
Yes, well, I think it's pretty obvious
we're not interior decorators.

740
00:40:01,732 --> 00:40:03,701
We were pretty banged up after that fight.

741
00:40:03,768 --> 00:40:06,737
At this point, it's a triple threat match
at Stand & Deliver.

742
00:40:06,804 --> 00:40:10,374
I have to ask, why would you want
to defend your titles against not one,

743
00:40:10,441 --> 00:40:13,310
not two, but potentially
three other teams?

744
00:40:13,377 --> 00:40:16,147
You're asking why. We're saying why not?

745
00:40:16,213 --> 00:40:18,349
The Creeds, they made a good case.

746
00:40:18,415 --> 00:40:20,417
Tony and Stacks, they made a good case.

747
00:40:20,484 --> 00:40:23,120
The Gallus boys,
we're all about equal opportunity.

748
00:40:23,187 --> 00:40:26,257
If Briggs and Jensen do win tonight,
then the more the merrier.

749
00:40:26,323 --> 00:40:29,760
Whether it's four, six,
or eight guys, doesn't matter.

750
00:40:29,827 --> 00:40:31,929
Wolfy, you do love a good fight.

751
00:40:31,996 --> 00:40:33,063
How confident are you

752
00:40:33,130 --> 00:40:36,600
that you'll walk out of Stand & Deliver
still the NXT tag team champs?

753
00:40:36,667 --> 00:40:39,003
McKenzie, Mark here
likes to try and wind me up.

754
00:40:39,069 --> 00:40:42,640
Tries to get under my skin but see,
when you're the NXT tag champs

755
00:40:42,706 --> 00:40:45,242
and you're heading into
the biggest show of the year

756
00:40:45,309 --> 00:40:47,444
against a bunch of guys
that are ready to fight,

757
00:40:47,511 --> 00:40:50,581
they don't need that much railing up.
The odds, they don't matter.

758
00:40:50,648 --> 00:40:54,251
At Stand & Deliver,
the Creeds, Tony and Stacks--

759
00:40:55,085 --> 00:40:59,156
Even if it's Briggs and Jensen as well,
they'll find out the hard way.

760
00:40:59,223 --> 00:41:01,959
-It's Gallus boys on top.
-On top.

761
00:41:02,026 --> 00:41:03,327
[cheers and applause]

762
00:41:03,394 --> 00:41:05,062
[energetic music plays]

763
00:41:05,129 --> 00:41:08,599
[Vic] I cannot wait for Stand & Deliver.

764
00:41:10,901 --> 00:41:15,706
[Beth] Next representing
Diamond Mine, Ivy Nile.

765
00:41:15,773 --> 00:41:19,543
[Vic] If we take a look at the field
in this matchup, these are three women.

766
00:41:19,610 --> 00:41:23,147
This is their second chance
to make a dream a reality

767
00:41:23,214 --> 00:41:25,583
to head to Wrestlemania Saturday.

768
00:41:25,649 --> 00:41:28,252
This is a big pressure matchup,

769
00:41:28,319 --> 00:41:30,988
much like we saw with the 20 superstars

770
00:41:31,055 --> 00:41:33,524
to kick us off tonight
in that Battle Royal.

771
00:41:33,591 --> 00:41:36,026
[Booker] No, Vic,
this is not their second chance.

772
00:41:36,093 --> 00:41:39,196
-This is their last chance--
-[Vic] That's a good point too.

773
00:41:39,263 --> 00:41:42,032
[Booker] …an impact here
in this matchup here tonight.

774
00:41:42,099 --> 00:41:45,302
[music continues]

775
00:41:49,874 --> 00:41:53,944
-[Beth] And Indi Hartwell.
-Thank you.

776
00:41:54,011 --> 00:41:58,082
[Vic] Look, you see Hartwell looking up
trying to take in a deep breath,

777
00:41:58,148 --> 00:42:01,185
realizing as you just pointed out
last chance.

778
00:42:01,252 --> 00:42:04,255
Book, I want to put you on the spot.
Here's the three women.

779
00:42:04,321 --> 00:42:05,990
This is the triple threat match.

780
00:42:06,056 --> 00:42:08,893
Who in this moment can stand and deliver?

781
00:42:08,959 --> 00:42:12,329
[Booker] Just watching Indi Hartwell
make her way to the ring

782
00:42:12,396 --> 00:42:15,833
and she looked like she said
a little prayer before she got in there.

783
00:42:15,900 --> 00:42:18,068
Let me tell you,
prayer is not going to help.

784
00:42:18,135 --> 00:42:20,971
You're going to have to go out here
and get the work done.

785
00:42:21,038 --> 00:42:23,707
You are out here with two
of the NXT's finest Ivy Nile,

786
00:42:23,774 --> 00:42:27,478
Sol Ruca looking to come up
and make a name for herself.

787
00:42:27,545 --> 00:42:29,046
-[Vic] Sol Ruca--
-[bell rings]

788
00:42:29,113 --> 00:42:32,483
[Vic] …has a lot of hype.
Hartwell is the "Veteran" of this matchup,

789
00:42:32,917 --> 00:42:36,820
but Ivy Nile really has grown leaps
and bounds over the last year.

790
00:42:36,887 --> 00:42:39,723
Into the first cover for Nile,
she was able to get a two count.

791
00:42:39,790 --> 00:42:43,928
First one to secure a pinfall or
a submission is headed to Los Angeles.

792
00:42:43,994 --> 00:42:45,896
Nile's realized that, Niles knows that

793
00:42:45,963 --> 00:42:47,998
and she's already gone
for two quick covers.

794
00:42:48,065 --> 00:42:50,768
[Booker] A lot of action
going on right there.

795
00:42:50,834 --> 00:42:53,137
Ivy knows exactly what
this could do for the career.

796
00:42:53,203 --> 00:42:54,571
[Vic] Hartwell from behind.

797
00:42:54,638 --> 00:42:57,641
[Booker] A win right here gets you
in that spot and to win that spot

798
00:42:57,708 --> 00:42:59,543
is what we're trying to do here tonight.

799
00:42:59,610 --> 00:43:00,945
[Vic] Hartwell up and over,

800
00:43:01,011 --> 00:43:03,213
she was frustrated
after the last week's loss.

801
00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:07,117
Now, look at Nile coming right back in.
Look, Sol Ruca hitting the dropkick.

802
00:43:07,184 --> 00:43:10,955
Look, this could be a huge moment
for Sol Ruca if she can advance.

803
00:43:11,021 --> 00:43:14,725
Can you imagine Ruca
what she would risk in Los Angeles

804
00:43:14,792 --> 00:43:16,527
much like she's doing right now?

805
00:43:16,594 --> 00:43:18,462
[Booker] Oh, yes.

806
00:43:18,529 --> 00:43:23,567
Sol Ruca, coming from the top with
the greatest of ease she's like the wind.

807
00:43:23,634 --> 00:43:28,105
You can feel her, but you can't touch
her, but you know she's there.

808
00:43:28,172 --> 00:43:30,307
She is a special type of athlete.

809
00:43:30,374 --> 00:43:34,111
[Vic] Ruca into the cover to put away
Hartwell to advance to Los Angeles.

810
00:43:34,178 --> 00:43:38,282
Hartwell getting that right shoulder up
at one and just take another look.

811
00:43:38,349 --> 00:43:42,186
[Booker] Look at the style, look at
the grace, look at the finesse, oh my God.

812
00:43:42,252 --> 00:43:44,188
[Vic] How about the landing, Book?

813
00:43:44,254 --> 00:43:46,757
Wiping out everyone in
this matchup for Sol Ruca.

814
00:43:46,824 --> 00:43:51,161
Look, how has the field changed now
with the addition of Roxanne Perez?

815
00:43:51,228 --> 00:43:52,830
[Booker] Oh man, Roxanne,

816
00:43:52,896 --> 00:43:56,000
I wasn't expecting her to make a comeback,

817
00:43:56,066 --> 00:43:58,002
especially this soon
or anything like that.

818
00:43:58,068 --> 00:44:01,205
It just showed the toughest
of that young 20-year-old young lady.

819
00:44:01,271 --> 00:44:04,208
[Vic] I'm seeing the toughness
right now of Ivy Nile

820
00:44:04,274 --> 00:44:06,443
who's trying to bounce back
in this matchup.

821
00:44:06,510 --> 00:44:09,513
Look, she's happy for the Creeds
as she goes into the cover.

822
00:44:09,580 --> 00:44:10,914
Ruca on another near fall.

823
00:44:10,981 --> 00:44:13,751
She's happy for Julius
and Brutus and her brothers,

824
00:44:13,817 --> 00:44:16,320
but she wants her own title match
this Saturday.

825
00:44:16,387 --> 00:44:17,755
[Booker] Oh, wait a minute.

826
00:44:17,821 --> 00:44:21,191
That's that training from Diamond Mine
right there trying to lock it in.

827
00:44:21,258 --> 00:44:22,226
So close.

828
00:44:22,693 --> 00:44:25,029
[Vic] Was looking for that submission
Hartwell into the cover

829
00:44:25,095 --> 00:44:27,231
-and another kickout by Nile.
-[Booker] Yes, indeed.

830
00:44:27,297 --> 00:44:30,768
This one, Hartwell has been so close
to finding that comfort zone,

831
00:44:30,834 --> 00:44:35,072
but those setbacks, Vic,
those setbacks could to be devastating.

832
00:44:35,139 --> 00:44:38,375
[Vic] Heartwell again has had a bad taste
in her mouth for a week

833
00:44:38,442 --> 00:44:40,144
since Ruca breaking up the cover.

834
00:44:40,210 --> 00:44:44,548
This is why triple-threat matches are
so dangerous, so difficult.

835
00:44:44,615 --> 00:44:46,817
When we think about triple threat matches,

836
00:44:46,884 --> 00:44:50,320
there's going to be one this Saturday
for the NXT tag team titles.

837
00:44:50,387 --> 00:44:53,090
Oh, but Sol Ruca
not worried about Saturday.

838
00:44:53,157 --> 00:44:55,192
She's just trying to get to Saturday.

839
00:44:55,259 --> 00:44:57,461
-She's worried about that.
-[Booker] Oh, yes.

840
00:44:57,528 --> 00:45:00,097
[Vic] A big splash.
Cover for her big moment-- Nile.

841
00:45:00,164 --> 00:45:02,766
-[Booker] Yes, indeed.
-[Vic] Breaking it up at two.

842
00:45:02,833 --> 00:45:03,767
[chuckles]

843
00:45:03,834 --> 00:45:06,837
[Booker] The unpredictability
of these triple threat matches.

844
00:45:06,904 --> 00:45:07,738
[Vic] Unreal.

845
00:45:07,805 --> 00:45:10,107
[Booker] You always got to keep your eyes
in the back of your head.

846
00:45:10,174 --> 00:45:13,210
[Vic] Look at the height.
She jumped out of the screen.

847
00:45:13,277 --> 00:45:15,179
Ruca jumped out of the screen
to hit that splash.

848
00:45:15,245 --> 00:45:19,016
[Booker] She's an athlete. Like I said,
one thing about this young lady,

849
00:45:19,083 --> 00:45:23,120
training is not gonna be the problem. Just
trying to get that mental game intact,

850
00:45:23,187 --> 00:45:24,721
that's what Ruca is all about.

851
00:45:24,788 --> 00:45:27,558
[Vic] Up and over shoulders down
and Nile not able to keep Ruca down

852
00:45:27,624 --> 00:45:31,128
on a count of one. We have seen a lot
of quick covers in this matchup as Nile

853
00:45:31,195 --> 00:45:34,765
into another one, hook of the leg,
a deep hook, and another near fall.

854
00:45:34,832 --> 00:45:37,234
[Booker] Talking about fast pace Vic.

855
00:45:37,301 --> 00:45:40,437
Right now, we're going down at 45,
at about 70 miles per hour.

856
00:45:40,504 --> 00:45:44,374
-Oh whoa, wow.
-[Vic] Oh, nice super kick by Ruca.

857
00:45:44,441 --> 00:45:45,943
Again this Saturday,

858
00:45:46,009 --> 00:45:48,712
the winner of this matchup advances
to the ladder match.

859
00:45:48,779 --> 00:45:51,281
No pins, there's no submissions,
there's no count outs.

860
00:45:51,348 --> 00:45:53,517
It's the first superstar
to climb the ladder

861
00:45:53,584 --> 00:45:55,352
and successfully retrieve the gold.

862
00:45:55,419 --> 00:45:58,155
[Booker] Hartwell trying to cash in.
We're going to--

863
00:45:58,222 --> 00:46:00,124
[Vic] Spine buster cover and a kickout.

864
00:46:00,190 --> 00:46:02,092
[Booker] Whoa.
So close to the heat right there.

865
00:46:02,159 --> 00:46:04,194
[Vic] Oh, what a kick by Nile.
Nile now, Ruca is hurt.

866
00:46:04,261 --> 00:46:05,729
Hartwell is on the back foot.

867
00:46:05,796 --> 00:46:09,500
Could Ivy Nile make her way to Los Angeles
to join Brutus, to join Julius?

868
00:46:10,033 --> 00:46:11,535
She's locking in a submission.

869
00:46:11,602 --> 00:46:14,238
[Booker] Referee's got
to get in there and do his job.

870
00:46:14,304 --> 00:46:17,474
[Vic] Sinking it in. Is Hartwell going to
tap? Hartwell could be closing in.

871
00:46:17,541 --> 00:46:19,610
-[Booker] So close, Vic.
-[Vic] Also close to the ropes.

872
00:46:19,676 --> 00:46:22,880
Wait a minute. Ruca. Soul snatcher.

873
00:46:22,946 --> 00:46:24,348
[cheers and applause]

874
00:46:24,414 --> 00:46:27,618
Hartwell with the big boot.
Oh, wait a minute, bam.

875
00:46:27,684 --> 00:46:29,953
-[Booker] Wow.
-[Vic] Right to the back.

876
00:46:30,020 --> 00:46:32,689
Hartwell shoots the half.
Indi's about to cash in.

877
00:46:32,756 --> 00:46:35,225
-Into the cover.
-[Booker] Indi's going to cash in.

878
00:46:35,292 --> 00:46:37,761
-[Vic] Indi is going to Los Angeles.
-[bell rings]

879
00:46:37,828 --> 00:46:39,296
[victory music plays]

880
00:46:39,363 --> 00:46:42,666
[Beth] Here's your winner, Indi Hartwell.

881
00:46:42,733 --> 00:46:48,972
[Vic] Oh, how good must that feel
for Indi in the 11th hour

882
00:46:49,039 --> 00:46:53,710
to make it to her dream
to try to fulfill her destiny

883
00:46:53,777 --> 00:46:55,879
of becoming a champion.

884
00:46:55,946 --> 00:47:01,251
Indi Hartwell is headed to
Wrestlemania Saturday Los Angeles.

885
00:47:01,318 --> 00:47:04,054
She is headed to Stand & Deliver.

886
00:47:04,121 --> 00:47:05,756
[indistinct chatter]

887
00:47:05,823 --> 00:47:09,459
[Vic] Let's go back to some of this,
bam, action in the matchup.

888
00:47:09,526 --> 00:47:12,830
This is where it comes from being
a veteran popped up on her feet

889
00:47:12,896 --> 00:47:16,800
to full advantage of the opportunity
and then collected.

890
00:47:16,867 --> 00:47:19,736
She went to the pay window,
as you like to say, Book,

891
00:47:19,803 --> 00:47:23,006
and punched her ticket to Hollywood.

892
00:47:23,073 --> 00:47:26,610
[Booker] That's the attitude, Vic.
That's by any means necessary.

893
00:47:26,677 --> 00:47:30,681
That's going out there and taking it.
That's Indi Hartwell.

894
00:47:30,747 --> 00:47:34,818
[Vic] Well, will Wrestlemania Saturday
be the day for Indi Hartwell

895
00:47:34,885 --> 00:47:40,557
to finally realize her dream
or will it be Zoey Stark

896
00:47:40,624 --> 00:47:44,494
the one to climb the ladder,
retrieve the title,

897
00:47:44,561 --> 00:47:46,964
and walk out of L.A. as champion?

898
00:47:47,030 --> 00:47:51,401
[tense music plays]

899
00:47:51,468 --> 00:47:53,170
[Vic] It also could be Valkyria

900
00:47:53,237 --> 00:47:56,807
who looks to add gold
to her black feathers.

901
00:47:56,874 --> 00:48:00,344
[music continues]

902
00:48:00,410 --> 00:48:02,412
[Vic] You can't forget about Gigi Dolin.

903
00:48:02,479 --> 00:48:04,448
She has been a champion in the past.

904
00:48:04,514 --> 00:48:08,051
Can she do it again
this Saturday in Los Angeles?

905
00:48:09,586 --> 00:48:12,823
Can you imagine the posts, the demand,

906
00:48:12,890 --> 00:48:16,727
the bragging Tiffany Stratton would do
if she became champion?

907
00:48:16,793 --> 00:48:19,630
That could become a reality in four days.

908
00:48:19,696 --> 00:48:21,398
[music continues]

909
00:48:21,465 --> 00:48:25,435
[Vic] Or as we learned earlier,
will it be our champion?

910
00:48:25,502 --> 00:48:26,803
Can she retain?

911
00:48:26,870 --> 00:48:30,540
Roxanne Perez is medically cleared
and ready to prove

912
00:48:30,607 --> 00:48:32,242
why she's indeed The Prodigy.

913
00:48:32,309 --> 00:48:33,577
There you see the field.

914
00:48:33,644 --> 00:48:37,147
Who will be the first to climb
the ladder, retrieve the gold,

915
00:48:37,214 --> 00:48:41,885
and call themselves NXT women's champion
at Stand & Deliver?

916
00:48:46,857 --> 00:48:48,659
Yes, boy.

917
00:48:48,725 --> 00:48:49,593
[both pants]

918
00:48:49,660 --> 00:48:51,595
[upbeat music plays]

919
00:48:51,662 --> 00:48:54,598
Indi Hartwell makes good
on her last chance

920
00:48:54,665 --> 00:48:56,700
-and snatches the final spot--
-…at the 11th hour.

921
00:48:56,767 --> 00:49:01,471
-The field is set.
-Six women put their bodies on the line.

922
00:49:01,538 --> 00:49:04,608
In a ladder match to crown
a new NXT women's champion.

923
00:49:05,142 --> 00:49:07,511
Uh, that's not entirely correct
now, is it, Kit?

924
00:49:07,577 --> 00:49:08,478
You're right.

925
00:49:08,545 --> 00:49:11,281
Roxanne Perez, the plucky Prodigy herself,

926
00:49:11,882 --> 00:49:15,185
she's in and since
she never lost the Championship,

927
00:49:15,252 --> 00:49:17,187
this will become a title defense then.

928
00:49:17,254 --> 00:49:18,188
Precisely, my dear.

929
00:49:18,255 --> 00:49:21,491
May I ask Elton, who do you predict
is coming out with the gold?

930
00:49:21,558 --> 00:49:25,662
I'm so glad you asked
because just recently I had an epiphany.

931
00:49:25,729 --> 00:49:29,399
-Los Angeles, the city of stars.
-Hollywood, baby.

932
00:49:29,466 --> 00:49:34,171
There's only one woman with the star
power suited for the City of Angels.

933
00:49:34,237 --> 00:49:35,405
The Buff Barbie herself?

934
00:49:35,472 --> 00:49:41,878
[both] The third-best dress superstar
in NXT, Tiffany Stratton, yes girl.

935
00:49:41,945 --> 00:49:45,682
Oh, Elton, I predict
this could be a show-stealer.

936
00:49:45,749 --> 00:49:46,650
Do you really?

937
00:49:46,717 --> 00:49:49,119
Well, if you want to find out
if the kitster is right,

938
00:49:49,186 --> 00:49:53,323
-join us on Peacock this Saturday--
-For Stand.

939
00:49:53,390 --> 00:49:55,459
& Deliver.

940
00:49:55,525 --> 00:49:59,696
[music fades]

941
00:49:59,763 --> 00:50:03,500
[Vic] As Pretty Deadly continue
their preview of Stand & Deliver,

942
00:50:03,567 --> 00:50:08,438
we will take a special look at the NXT
Championship match with prime target.

943
00:50:08,505 --> 00:50:13,377
Bron Breakker versus
Carmelo Hayes is next on NXT.

944
00:50:17,581 --> 00:50:22,152
Johnny Cosplay you're so close to
finally getting what you want,

945
00:50:22,219 --> 00:50:24,755
Grayson Waller in an unsanctioned match.

946
00:50:24,821 --> 00:50:27,024
In fact, I'm going to the arena right now.

947
00:50:27,090 --> 00:50:29,793
I got security to do one last sweep
and just in case

948
00:50:29,860 --> 00:50:32,062
because I know
you're a sneaky little hobbit,

949
00:50:32,129 --> 00:50:34,765
they're going to be surrounding
the ring tonight too.

950
00:50:34,831 --> 00:50:38,201
If I were you, Johnny, I would tune in
because you just never know

951
00:50:38,268 --> 00:50:40,337
what I'm going to say.

952
00:50:42,072 --> 00:50:44,174
[energetic music plays]

953
00:50:44,241 --> 00:50:47,210
Book, we know Grayson Waller now
is on his way here

954
00:50:47,277 --> 00:50:49,346
because as I've been holding for a week,

955
00:50:49,413 --> 00:50:52,516
it's this contract
to the unsanctioned match.

956
00:50:52,582 --> 00:50:56,119
At Stand & Deliver,
will Grayson Waller sign this contract?

957
00:50:56,186 --> 00:50:58,388
We will find out
but this is what we do know,

958
00:50:58,455 --> 00:51:01,925
we know the NXT Championship
is going to be on the line in four nights

959
00:51:01,992 --> 00:51:03,827
in Los Angeles, it's Stand & Deliver.

960
00:51:03,894 --> 00:51:06,229
It's going to be Carmelo Hayes,
the challenger,

961
00:51:06,296 --> 00:51:08,065
and the champion, Bron Breakker.

962
00:51:08,131 --> 00:51:12,869
[dreamy music plays]

963
00:51:12,936 --> 00:51:16,206
This match is like destiny,

964
00:51:16,273 --> 00:51:19,643
the youngest main event
in Wrestlemania weekend history.

965
00:51:21,278 --> 00:51:23,980
Carmelo and I, we came in,
in the same class,

966
00:51:24,047 --> 00:51:28,752
these two Alpha males
that are just undeniable.

967
00:51:28,819 --> 00:51:31,087
Bron, do you know
what it takes to be a king?

968
00:51:31,154 --> 00:51:35,725
I don't think you do.
Heavy lies the head that wears the crown.

969
00:51:39,396 --> 00:51:43,100
Make some noise
for the 2021 breakout superstar.

970
00:51:43,166 --> 00:51:44,734
Bow to the king.

971
00:51:44,801 --> 00:51:47,571
The NXT board game-winner.

972
00:51:47,637 --> 00:51:48,572
[male voice] Bow to the king.

973
00:51:48,638 --> 00:51:51,441
The longest combined
north American Championship.

974
00:51:51,508 --> 00:51:53,443
[male voice] Bow to the king.

975
00:51:53,510 --> 00:51:57,214
-The unified north American champion.
-[male voice] Bow to the king.

976
00:51:57,280 --> 00:51:58,215
Him.

977
00:51:58,281 --> 00:52:02,118
[cheers and applause]

978
00:52:02,185 --> 00:52:04,120
[male voice] Bow to the king.

979
00:52:04,187 --> 00:52:07,691
This has been a whole different
training camp to get to this point.

980
00:52:07,757 --> 00:52:11,194
I'm not just doing my high-flying stuff,
I'm not just doing mad wrestling,

981
00:52:11,261 --> 00:52:12,996
I'm covering every aspect of the game.

982
00:52:13,063 --> 00:52:15,832
I'm hitting those ropes a little harder,
I'm taking less steps,

983
00:52:16,299 --> 00:52:17,567
I'm making less mistakes.

984
00:52:17,634 --> 00:52:20,370
We worked out for four hours,
we went to the club.

985
00:52:20,437 --> 00:52:23,140
We partied for three hours,
after-party, I chose not to go.

986
00:52:23,206 --> 00:52:27,177
Hey, man, y'all do your thing. Man, listen
I got to go to work, man. I'm locked in.

987
00:52:27,244 --> 00:52:29,746
I got this match with Bron
coming up in a couple of days,

988
00:52:29,813 --> 00:52:33,483
man, I'm locked so I got to go to work.
All right take care, man. [crosstalk]

989
00:52:33,550 --> 00:52:35,485
-All right. Y'all do your thing.
-All right.

990
00:52:35,552 --> 00:52:38,221
Y'all do your thing, I'll call you
though, but y'all do your thing.

991
00:52:38,288 --> 00:52:43,527
-Good, man.
-We're some good looking [crosstalk]

992
00:52:43,593 --> 00:52:47,397
[tense music plays]

993
00:52:47,464 --> 00:52:51,067
I don't need to go now,
I'll celebrate when it's finished.

994
00:52:51,134 --> 00:52:52,903
I'll celebrate when I'm the champ,

995
00:52:52,969 --> 00:52:54,771
when I'm at the top of the mountain.

996
00:52:54,838 --> 00:52:57,240
The job is not done, it's far from done.

997
00:52:57,307 --> 00:53:02,012
[music continues]

998
00:53:11,154 --> 00:53:12,889
It's funny because I've been doing it.

999
00:53:12,956 --> 00:53:17,327
I've been in the gym, I've been training,
I've been not going to the clubs,

1000
00:53:17,394 --> 00:53:19,863
not going into the party scene
and being focused on this.

1001
00:53:19,930 --> 00:53:22,399
I train weights two
and a half hours a day.

1002
00:53:22,465 --> 00:53:25,402
I'm in the ring two and a half hours a day

1003
00:53:25,468 --> 00:53:28,638
because that's what it takes to be
the champion, to be the guy.

1004
00:53:31,141 --> 00:53:32,742
[suspenseful music plays]

1005
00:53:32,809 --> 00:53:36,413
A lot of people think matches are won
and lost in the ring

1006
00:53:36,479 --> 00:53:40,083
or won and lost in the weight room,
but in my opinion, I think

1007
00:53:40,150 --> 00:53:42,252
they're won in here, in the film room.

1008
00:53:42,319 --> 00:53:45,455
There's nothing better to do
to prepare yourself than to watch film.

1009
00:53:45,522 --> 00:53:47,824
He's fast, he's going to try
to get in my head.

1010
00:53:47,891 --> 00:53:49,526
He's going to try to blow me up.

1011
00:53:49,960 --> 00:53:51,528
He's going to try to get me
to implement his game plan

1012
00:53:51,595 --> 00:53:54,264
and take me to deep water,
but the reality of it is,

1013
00:53:54,331 --> 00:53:58,501
I've been taken to deep water
so many times it's become my home.

1014
00:53:58,568 --> 00:54:03,673
I have carried this brand on my back
for almost two years now.

1015
00:54:03,740 --> 00:54:06,276
The NXT Championship is everything to me.

1016
00:54:06,343 --> 00:54:08,545
This brand means everything to me.

1017
00:54:08,612 --> 00:54:12,616
I respect everyone
who's been a champion before me,

1018
00:54:12,682 --> 00:54:15,652
but there is a difference,

1019
00:54:15,719 --> 00:54:18,722
I am the most dominant NXT champion
of all time.

1020
00:54:19,556 --> 00:54:23,293
[Vic] How could you not be blown away
by what this man has done?

1021
00:54:24,227 --> 00:54:28,932
Bron Breakker is the present,
and he's paving a way for the future.

1022
00:54:29,599 --> 00:54:34,804
Bron, celebrating on his road
to Stand & Deliver.

1023
00:54:44,848 --> 00:54:49,519
In L.A., I'm going to take
some of that weight off your shoulders

1024
00:54:49,586 --> 00:54:52,422
when I knock your head off
and I take that crown

1025
00:54:52,489 --> 00:54:58,161
because I am him
and the Kingdom of NXT is mine.

1026
00:54:58,228 --> 00:55:00,563
Now give me my-- crown.

1027
00:55:01,498 --> 00:55:03,700
This one is a little bit more special.

1028
00:55:03,767 --> 00:55:05,635
It means a little bit more to me.

1029
00:55:05,702 --> 00:55:08,038
It's Bron Breakker all day.
He's the future.

1030
00:55:09,439 --> 00:55:11,174
I don't know about all that.

1031
00:55:11,241 --> 00:55:13,977
Bron is good,
but I think Carmelo is [indistinct]

1032
00:55:14,044 --> 00:55:16,179
Bron Breakker,
I don't think you understand.

1033
00:55:16,246 --> 00:55:18,815
I don't think you want it
the way that I want it.

1034
00:55:18,882 --> 00:55:20,950
I don't think
you're willing to go the limit

1035
00:55:21,017 --> 00:55:22,585
that I'm willing to go
for this Championship.

1036
00:55:22,652 --> 00:55:24,387
When I get going in that full three-speed

1037
00:55:24,454 --> 00:55:26,489
and I steiner-line him
in the center of that ring

1038
00:55:26,556 --> 00:55:29,693
and he doesn't know
what planet he's on or where he is,

1039
00:55:29,759 --> 00:55:30,927
he'll see.

1040
00:55:30,994 --> 00:55:34,164
At Stand & Deliver, I'm going to take
everything from you, Bron.

1041
00:55:34,230 --> 00:55:37,500
I'm going to take it
because it's mine because I am him.

1042
00:55:38,401 --> 00:55:43,073
I promise I will walk in
and I will walk out, Stand & Deliver,

1043
00:55:43,139 --> 00:55:45,742
still the NXT champion.

1044
00:55:45,809 --> 00:55:48,712
[cheers and applause]

1045
00:55:48,778 --> 00:55:54,784
Who will stand, who will deliver,
who will be the NXT champion?

1046
00:55:56,586 --> 00:55:58,755
[energetic music plays]

1047
00:55:58,822 --> 00:56:02,125
[Vic] It's the youngest main event
in Wrestlemania weekend history

1048
00:56:02,192 --> 00:56:04,060
and it happens Saturday.

1049
00:56:08,631 --> 00:56:09,632
[bell rings]

1050
00:56:09,699 --> 00:56:12,936
[Beth] The following contest
is scheduled for one fall.

1051
00:56:13,002 --> 00:56:17,040
Introducing first, Hank Walker.

1052
00:56:17,107 --> 00:56:20,143
[Vic] I'm sure Hank Walker
has some extra motivation.

1053
00:56:20,210 --> 00:56:23,079
Of course, Walker
and his opponents here tonight

1054
00:56:23,146 --> 00:56:27,217
were both part of the 20-man
over-the-top-rope Battle Royal

1055
00:56:27,283 --> 00:56:28,885
that kicks off here tonight.

1056
00:56:28,952 --> 00:56:32,722
For Hank Walker,
it's a different sort of business here

1057
00:56:32,789 --> 00:56:34,457
in a matter of moments.

1058
00:56:34,524 --> 00:56:38,895
Here Hank Walker is looking to prove
he learned enough from Drew Gulak,

1059
00:56:38,962 --> 00:56:41,498
and now he's looking to
surpass the teacher.

1060
00:56:41,564 --> 00:56:42,966
It's happening next.

1061
00:56:47,103 --> 00:56:48,705
[suspenseful music plays]

1062
00:56:48,772 --> 00:56:52,075
When the sun goes down at Stand & Deliver,

1063
00:56:52,142 --> 00:56:56,146
a darkness will rise over NXT.

1064
00:56:56,212 --> 00:57:01,417
The internal portal of gullible force
cannot be contained.

1065
00:57:02,519 --> 00:57:08,525
Kiana James and Fallon Henley's fate
has already been sealed

1066
00:57:08,591 --> 00:57:11,161
as if carved into stone.

1067
00:57:11,227 --> 00:57:15,665
Two spirits in turmoil
do not deserve to be champions.

1068
00:57:18,435 --> 00:57:23,540
Isla, we bond together to connect our past

1069
00:57:25,508 --> 00:57:27,477
and forge our destiny.

1070
00:57:27,544 --> 00:57:31,481
This Saturday at Stand & Deliver

1071
00:57:31,548 --> 00:57:34,617
we burn our opposition to the ground.

1072
00:57:34,684 --> 00:57:39,989
From their smoldering ashes,
our message will spread far and wide.

1073
00:57:40,924 --> 00:57:44,060
It is always darkest before the dawn,

1074
00:57:44,127 --> 00:57:45,528
and where there's smoke,

1075
00:57:46,629 --> 00:57:47,497
there's fire.

1076
00:57:50,133 --> 00:57:51,968
[energetic music plays]

1077
00:57:52,035 --> 00:57:56,306
[Vic] Hank Walker waiting
very patiently for his opponent.

1078
00:58:10,753 --> 00:58:17,727
[Beth] His opponent, accompanied by
Charlie Dempsey, Drew Gulak.

1079
00:58:39,682 --> 00:58:42,118
[Vic] Lesson one
is not really about merchandise,

1080
00:58:42,185 --> 00:58:44,787
-it's more about respect and pride.
-[bell rings]

1081
00:58:44,854 --> 00:58:47,156
You can see the look on both
of these superstars' faces

1082
00:58:47,223 --> 00:58:49,459
wasting no time trying to rip
the other apart.

1083
00:58:49,526 --> 00:58:53,062
[Booker] Yes, indeed. Let me tell you
right now, this kid, Hank Walker,

1084
00:58:53,129 --> 00:58:55,265
he's about to get a lesson, trust me.

1085
00:58:55,331 --> 00:58:58,268
[Vic] Oh, you might have spoken
a little bit too soon again.

1086
00:58:58,334 --> 00:59:01,304
What do you mean?
Hank Walker is in full control.

1087
00:59:01,371 --> 00:59:02,972
[Booker] He's strong.

1088
00:59:03,039 --> 00:59:06,075
I'll give him that he's a big kid,
but as far as being technical,

1089
00:59:06,142 --> 00:59:10,914
as far as being a precision tactician
like this man, Drew Gulak,

1090
00:59:10,980 --> 00:59:12,448
like I said he's in a lot of--

1091
00:59:12,515 --> 00:59:14,317
[Vic] Can you believe this takedown?

1092
00:59:14,384 --> 00:59:17,186
You're talking about a technician,
look at the submission

1093
00:59:17,253 --> 00:59:20,423
trying to lock it in Walker, but look at
Gulak he's very savvy on the mat

1094
00:59:20,490 --> 00:59:23,259
trying to counter,
now looking for a camel clutch of sorts.

1095
00:59:23,326 --> 00:59:25,461
Another counter,
now Hank Walker in control.

1096
00:59:25,528 --> 00:59:29,132
[Booker] You can tell that Drew Gulak
has taught this guy a few tricks.

1097
00:59:29,198 --> 00:59:32,902
Yes, he's taught him a few tricks,
but he didn't teach him everything, Vic.

1098
00:59:32,969 --> 00:59:33,937
Come on.

1099
00:59:34,003 --> 00:59:37,340
[Vic] It's Gulak kind of locking
in a stretch muffler of sorts here

1100
00:59:37,407 --> 00:59:39,876
as Walker is trying to counter
and certainly does.

1101
00:59:39,943 --> 00:59:42,612
I don't think you give
Walker enough credit

1102
00:59:42,679 --> 00:59:44,981
as Walker now with a stretch muffler.

1103
00:59:45,048 --> 00:59:46,215
[Booker] That's not it,

1104
00:59:46,282 --> 00:59:49,686
I just think this kid is getting
a little too big for his britches.

1105
00:59:49,752 --> 00:59:52,055
Let's just face it,
this kid is still a rookie.

1106
00:59:52,121 --> 00:59:55,792
He should be packing bags
and making sure I get my coffee.

1107
00:59:55,858 --> 00:59:58,528
-That's what he should be doing.
-[Vic] Wait a minute.

1108
00:59:58,595 --> 01:00:00,897
Whoa, he's in there
with his trainer, his teacher.

1109
01:00:00,964 --> 01:00:03,132
So many thought
he was his mentor and friend

1110
01:00:03,199 --> 01:00:06,469
and then he got stabbed in the back.
Gulak turns his back on him.

1111
01:00:06,536 --> 01:00:09,706
[Booker] Let me tell you now what he is,
he is an insubordinate student,

1112
01:00:09,772 --> 01:00:11,541
that's what he is. He's insubordinate.

1113
01:00:11,607 --> 01:00:15,611
Now Drew Gulak has someone
like Charlie Dempsey.

1114
01:00:15,678 --> 01:00:19,682
[Vic] Yes, Charlie Dempsey ain't helping
right now in the single-leg Boston crab.

1115
01:00:19,749 --> 01:00:22,085
[Booker] He's not going to help
because he knows

1116
01:00:22,151 --> 01:00:24,988
that Gulak is going out here and
take care of business in just a minute.

1117
01:00:25,054 --> 01:00:28,057
[Vic] Gulak lied to Hank.
He dumped Hank as soon as Charlie--

1118
01:00:28,124 --> 01:00:31,661
-[Booker] What are you talking about?
-[Vic] What are you talking about?

1119
01:00:31,728 --> 01:00:34,831
He's, "Oh, I'll mentor you.
I'll help you. I'll teach you this.

1120
01:00:34,897 --> 01:00:37,767
I'll show you the ropes. Here's my boots."
Oh, a neck breaker. He lied to him.

1121
01:00:37,834 --> 01:00:41,204
[Booker] No. It's about paying your dues.
Let me tell you something.

1122
01:00:41,270 --> 01:00:44,841
Walker, he shouldn't even have on
that singlet that's like a black belt.

1123
01:00:44,907 --> 01:00:46,409
You have to earn that singlet.

1124
01:00:46,476 --> 01:00:49,912
[Vic] Again, it goes back to
you don't give Walker enough credit.

1125
01:00:49,979 --> 01:00:52,949
This is a former division
one offensive lineman at NC State.

1126
01:00:53,016 --> 01:00:55,351
This is a former member
of the Atlanta Falcons.

1127
01:00:55,418 --> 01:00:57,987
[Booker] Have you ever heard about
paying your dues?

1128
01:00:58,054 --> 01:01:01,457
We ain't talking about football,
in the middle of the squared circle.

1129
01:01:01,524 --> 01:01:03,860
We talking about their 20 by 20,
that's what.

1130
01:01:03,926 --> 01:01:07,497
[Vic] He started as a security guard,
he worked his way up to get a contract.

1131
01:01:07,563 --> 01:01:09,065
What do you mean it pays dues?

1132
01:01:09,132 --> 01:01:11,934
[Booker] I mean like I say
it's about to get surgical right now.

1133
01:01:12,001 --> 01:01:14,137
Gulak is about to do some surgery
on this kid right now

1134
01:01:14,203 --> 01:01:17,273
he's about to dissect him piece by piece.
That's what's about to happen.

1135
01:01:17,340 --> 01:01:20,576
[Vic] Oh Gulak off the top
and now it's Drew Gulak into the cover

1136
01:01:20,643 --> 01:01:23,980
and Walker just able to kick out
but there's Gulak holding on

1137
01:01:24,047 --> 01:01:27,216
and now transitioning into a cross-face.

1138
01:01:27,283 --> 01:01:31,120
[Booker] This kid has got to be strong,
but right now he's in a bad, bad way.

1139
01:01:31,187 --> 01:01:33,156
-He's on the wrong side of town.
-[Vic] Boom.

1140
01:01:33,222 --> 01:01:36,259
It's one way to take Hank Walker down
but look at the knuckle

1141
01:01:36,325 --> 01:01:39,729
into the cheekbone into
the orbital socket of Hank Walker.

1142
01:01:39,796 --> 01:01:43,499
[Booker] Vic, the pain this kid is going
through right now is excruciating.

1143
01:01:43,566 --> 01:01:48,371
I'm surprised he hasn't tapped out by now,
that tells me a lot about this kid.

1144
01:01:48,438 --> 01:01:49,705
He's got a lot of heart.

1145
01:01:49,772 --> 01:01:52,942
[Vic] There's Charlie Dempsey,
who you've mentioned, came along,

1146
01:01:53,009 --> 01:01:56,646
and finally as a partner
that Drew Gulak wants to work with.

1147
01:01:56,712 --> 01:01:59,849
[Booker] He's a great student.
He's a great student of the game.

1148
01:01:59,916 --> 01:02:00,817
That's what he is.

1149
01:02:00,883 --> 01:02:02,852
[Vic] Hank Walker has built up some anger.

1150
01:02:02,919 --> 01:02:05,555
He's built up some aggression
over the past few weeks

1151
01:02:05,621 --> 01:02:08,391
and now it could be Walker
trying to unleash it.

1152
01:02:08,458 --> 01:02:11,894
Gulak with a handful of hair
but Walker not to be denied.

1153
01:02:13,896 --> 01:02:17,600
Big right hand, and now look at big Hank
swinging for the fences,

1154
01:02:17,667 --> 01:02:21,037
going into the body now Gulak,
going right back up top

1155
01:02:21,104 --> 01:02:24,674
and Walker-- Oh!
A modified thesz press wasn't pretty

1156
01:02:24,741 --> 01:02:27,110
but was effective
and now Walker right back on top.

1157
01:02:27,176 --> 01:02:31,080
[Booker] Nothing pretty about this kid
but he's getting the job done right now.

1158
01:02:31,147 --> 01:02:33,049
Like I said, he's country-strong, Vic.

1159
01:02:33,116 --> 01:02:35,818
He's got a lot of heart
but he cannot match toe to toe,

1160
01:02:35,885 --> 01:02:39,288
he could not match up with
this man technically, that's the problem.

1161
01:02:39,355 --> 01:02:41,023
[Vic] Look, it was Gulak.

1162
01:02:41,090 --> 01:02:45,495
It was Dempsey who said
Hank Walker lacked killer instinct

1163
01:02:45,561 --> 01:02:49,599
and right now Hank Walker
could be putting that to bed.

1164
01:02:49,665 --> 01:02:53,703
-[Booker] Oh, wow. Right now Hank Walker--
-[Vic] Starting to come around, huh?

1165
01:02:53,770 --> 01:02:55,838
[Booker] This is what I'm talking about.

1166
01:02:55,905 --> 01:03:00,877
This kid is getting a little too big for
his britches, he thinks he knows a lot--

1167
01:03:00,943 --> 01:03:04,113
He's nowhere near where he needs to be.
Nowhere near it.

1168
01:03:04,180 --> 01:03:06,682
[Vic] This is the best
we've seen from Hank Walker,

1169
01:03:06,749 --> 01:03:10,987
it could be the biggest victory of
his career and just kicking out was Gulak.

1170
01:03:11,053 --> 01:03:14,223
[Booker] Take more than that
to take Drew Gulak out of the game.

1171
01:03:14,290 --> 01:03:16,025
It is going to take more than that.

1172
01:03:16,092 --> 01:03:19,529
[Vic] The power on display
then some speed,

1173
01:03:19,595 --> 01:03:21,430
some intensity by Hank Walker.

1174
01:03:21,497 --> 01:03:25,001
[Booker] Like I said, I give this kid
Hank Walker a lot of credit.

1175
01:03:25,067 --> 01:03:26,569
[Vic] Now you give him credit?

1176
01:03:26,636 --> 01:03:29,739
[Booker] I give him credit for wanting
to get into this business

1177
01:03:29,806 --> 01:03:32,408
makes his mark,
but he's just not doing it the right way.

1178
01:03:32,475 --> 01:03:36,412
[Vic] Roll through by Gulak, was-- And
right back into the cross face for Gulak.

1179
01:03:36,479 --> 01:03:40,116
Gulak now this is the right shoulder
before it was the left shoulder

1180
01:03:40,183 --> 01:03:42,952
when you talked about surgically
dissecting a superstar,

1181
01:03:43,019 --> 01:03:46,989
Gulak doing it on both sides looking for
the submission, looking for the tap out.

1182
01:03:47,056 --> 01:03:49,659
You see Dempsey from behind
trying to cheer on Gulak,

1183
01:03:49,725 --> 01:03:51,928
maybe try to coach him up a little bit.

1184
01:03:51,994 --> 01:03:55,031
But look at big Hank.
Big Hank into a submission.

1185
01:03:55,097 --> 01:03:57,500
-[Booker] What the hell.
-[Vic] Lock it in, Hank.

1186
01:03:58,968 --> 01:04:01,704
Trying to break the grip of Gulak

1187
01:04:01,771 --> 01:04:05,508
and trying to muscle his way
into the submission.

1188
01:04:05,575 --> 01:04:10,146
Oh, this could be it, how embarrassing
would this be for Drew Gulak?

1189
01:04:10,213 --> 01:04:13,416
[Booker] Gulak needs to move
and he needs to move quick.

1190
01:04:13,482 --> 01:04:16,986
[Vic] Gulak trying desperately
to navigate his way to the bottom rope.

1191
01:04:17,053 --> 01:04:22,558
Oh, and he finally was able to and
has to break the hold is Hank Walker.

1192
01:04:22,625 --> 01:04:26,162
[Booker] That kid has been studying
his ground game.

1193
01:04:26,229 --> 01:04:29,065
I saw Demetrius Johnson
pull up that same armbar.

1194
01:04:29,131 --> 01:04:30,366
[Vic] Oh, wait a minute.

1195
01:04:30,967 --> 01:04:33,603
The referee was in between
Gulak and Walker.

1196
01:04:33,669 --> 01:04:34,670
-No, no.
-[Vic] Yes.

1197
01:04:34,737 --> 01:04:36,138
-[bell rings]
-[Vic] Come on.

1198
01:04:36,205 --> 01:04:37,740
[Vic] Beautiful cradle.

1199
01:04:37,807 --> 01:04:38,875
[victory music plays]

1200
01:04:38,941 --> 01:04:41,944
[Beth] Here is your winner, Drew Gulak.

1201
01:04:42,011 --> 01:04:44,146
[Vic] How did they get in a cradle, Book?

1202
01:04:44,213 --> 01:04:47,383
A cheap shot from Charlie Dempsey
when the referee couldn't see.

1203
01:04:47,450 --> 01:04:49,652
-[Booker] What are you talking about?
-[Vic] What do you mean?

1204
01:04:49,719 --> 01:04:52,188
You wore glasses
you didn't see it on the monitor.

1205
01:04:52,255 --> 01:04:54,924
[Booker] Let me see the replay.
I didn't see anything.

1206
01:04:54,991 --> 01:04:59,061
[Vic] Let's talk about some innovation by
Walker who gave it his all here tonight.

1207
01:04:59,128 --> 01:05:01,631
Look at the strength,
look at everything he learned

1208
01:05:01,697 --> 01:05:05,368
to try to lock into submission.
Hank Walker gave his all, got to the rope,

1209
01:05:05,434 --> 01:05:07,470
the referee was separating the superstars,

1210
01:05:07,536 --> 01:05:10,573
didn't see the cheap shot
that led to that nice inside cradle,

1211
01:05:10,640 --> 01:05:13,643
as you put it,
which gave Drew Gulak the victory.

1212
01:05:13,709 --> 01:05:16,012
Gulak snakes one here tonight.

1213
01:05:18,014 --> 01:05:19,348
[Booker] Beautiful cradle.

1214
01:05:19,415 --> 01:05:20,983
Not today.

1215
01:05:24,053 --> 01:05:26,155
Ever since we joined the division,

1216
01:05:26,222 --> 01:05:29,525
the tag team scene has been
a bustling hive of competition.

1217
01:05:29,592 --> 01:05:33,496
At Stand & Deliver the NXT tag team
Championships will be contested

1218
01:05:33,562 --> 01:05:35,998
in a triple-threat match.

1219
01:05:36,065 --> 01:05:38,768
The Creed Brothers
have found their mojo, baby.

1220
01:05:38,834 --> 01:05:42,405
I can't stand the three brothers
but I have to admit

1221
01:05:42,471 --> 01:05:45,841
recently they've shown that
they've got a little bit more personality

1222
01:05:45,908 --> 01:05:48,177
than this dirty bar right here.

1223
01:05:48,244 --> 01:05:49,478
Good for them.

1224
01:05:49,545 --> 01:05:53,215
The champions Gallus.

1225
01:05:53,282 --> 01:05:55,251
Well, they're the champions.
Move on quickly.

1226
01:05:55,318 --> 01:05:59,155
A new tag team bonded through family
loyalty, Tony D'Angelo and Stacks.

1227
01:05:59,221 --> 01:06:02,291
Could you imagine
if The Don on the underboss win?

1228
01:06:02,358 --> 01:06:04,527
-Oh, I would love to see it.
-Oh.

1229
01:06:04,593 --> 01:06:07,363
Speaking of love,
Briggs and Jensen have an opportunity

1230
01:06:07,430 --> 01:06:09,999
to make this tag team title match
a fatal four-way.

1231
01:06:10,066 --> 01:06:13,202
Could you imagine if Briggs and Jensen,
Kiana James, and Fallon Henley

1232
01:06:13,269 --> 01:06:15,671
all leave Stand & Deliver
as tag team champions?

1233
01:06:15,738 --> 01:06:18,407
-Oh, so magical.
-Right.

1234
01:06:18,474 --> 01:06:21,243
Such a perfect fairytale ending.

1235
01:06:21,310 --> 01:06:23,913
But that's the thing Elton,
about fairytale endings.

1236
01:06:23,980 --> 01:06:27,717
There's always a witch or
in this case witches right behind.

1237
01:06:27,783 --> 01:06:28,951
Very nice.

1238
01:06:29,018 --> 01:06:32,321
Isla Dawn and Alba Fyre have been
a dangerous duo as of late

1239
01:06:32,388 --> 01:06:36,225
but if they get it their way
it'd be a sinister Stand & Deliver.

1240
01:06:36,292 --> 01:06:40,296
This fairytale could be one
of heartbreak and tragedy.

1241
01:06:41,597 --> 01:06:46,969
[Vic] So we will see you on Saturday
afternoon for Stand & Deliver.

1242
01:06:49,271 --> 01:06:50,973
[lively music plays]

1243
01:06:51,040 --> 01:06:53,576
[Vic] I already know what you think, Book.

1244
01:06:53,642 --> 01:06:56,278
You think Pretty Deadly
are going to be great host

1245
01:06:56,345 --> 01:06:58,214
for Stand & Deliver on Saturday?

1246
01:07:01,650 --> 01:07:02,585
[bell rings]

1247
01:07:02,651 --> 01:07:06,489
[Beth] The following contest is a tag team
match scheduled for one fall.

1248
01:07:06,555 --> 01:07:10,693
Introducing first,
the team of Channing Stacks,

1249
01:07:10,760 --> 01:07:16,932
Lorenzo and the Don of NXT, Tony D'Angelo.

1250
01:07:16,999 --> 01:07:20,102
[Vic] Now, this is a little warm-up
for the family

1251
01:07:20,169 --> 01:07:24,940
ahead of Saturday's triple threat match
for the NXT tag team titles,

1252
01:07:25,007 --> 01:07:27,076
but tonight's been all about pressure

1253
01:07:27,143 --> 01:07:30,479
because if Stacks and D'Angelo lose

1254
01:07:30,546 --> 01:07:34,049
that match will become
a fatal four-way on Saturday.

1255
01:07:34,116 --> 01:07:38,187
The pressure is on
for both these teams next on NXT.

1256
01:07:41,690 --> 01:07:44,493
[rock music plays]

1257
01:07:48,964 --> 01:07:55,371
[Beth] And their opponents,
the team of Josh Briggs and Brooks Jensen.

1258
01:07:56,038 --> 01:07:58,841
[Vic] For Brooks and Jensen,
this is a huge opportunity.

1259
01:07:58,908 --> 01:08:04,547
On one hand, they should be thanking
Kiana James, but Book, on the other hand,

1260
01:08:04,613 --> 01:08:08,617
a lot of questions
surrounding the conniving Kiana.

1261
01:08:09,285 --> 01:08:13,989
[Booker] Oh, what a tangled web we weave
when we practice to deceive.

1262
01:08:14,056 --> 01:08:15,357
I think that what's it is.

1263
01:08:15,424 --> 01:08:19,862
[Vic] Your heart kind of goes out
to Brooks and Jensen here,

1264
01:08:19,929 --> 01:08:24,934
but also you got to wonder
where Josh Briggs' mind is at.

1265
01:08:25,000 --> 01:08:27,903
You've seen him flash
a couple of looks over to his partner

1266
01:08:27,970 --> 01:08:30,439
both these guys got to focus,
this is a huge match.

1267
01:08:30,506 --> 01:08:32,975
A huge opportunity love lights got to go
to the background.

1268
01:08:33,042 --> 01:08:36,178
-[Booker] You've been cheating on before?
-[Vic] That I didn't know of so let me.

1269
01:08:36,245 --> 01:08:37,847
-[bell rings]
-[Brooker chuckles]

1270
01:08:37,913 --> 01:08:41,217
[Vic] I'd have to go through the diary
to figure that one out

1271
01:08:41,283 --> 01:08:42,618
but nothing comes to mind.

1272
01:08:42,685 --> 01:08:44,920
Into the cover, and a kickout.

1273
01:08:44,987 --> 01:08:48,657
[Vic] Is that a good thing?
I've been cheated on before.

1274
01:08:48,724 --> 01:08:50,493
It's not a good thing.

1275
01:08:50,559 --> 01:08:53,529
It takes you to a place
that you never would have imagined--

1276
01:08:53,596 --> 01:08:55,898
[Vic] Shoulders down one more time.
Oh, nice counter.

1277
01:08:55,965 --> 01:08:59,335
[Booker] Oh, wow.
Now looks like he's totally on point, Vic.

1278
01:08:59,401 --> 01:09:02,638
He looks like he's got his mind
in the game and that's step one.

1279
01:09:02,705 --> 01:09:07,810
[Vic] A lot of pressure on the shoulders
of D'Angelo and Channing Stacks Lorenzo

1280
01:09:07,877 --> 01:09:12,214
because if they lose their chances,
there is another cover, another kick out,

1281
01:09:12,281 --> 01:09:16,852
their chances dropped to 25% on Saturday.

1282
01:09:16,919 --> 01:09:18,153
Whoa, at Stand & Deliver.

1283
01:09:18,220 --> 01:09:20,956
[Booker] I don't think
they're planning on losing, Vic.

1284
01:09:21,023 --> 01:09:24,460
That's Tony and he's the Don of that,
flanked by that man stack ready,

1285
01:09:24,527 --> 01:09:26,061
deliver that passion. Oh, yes.

1286
01:09:26,128 --> 01:09:29,532
[Vic] The Don does seem hoping that
the family delivers here tonight.

1287
01:09:29,598 --> 01:09:33,769
That would also be Gallus hoping to keep
that match a triple threat.

1288
01:09:33,836 --> 01:09:37,907
A win tonight could be
just what Briggs really needs

1289
01:09:37,973 --> 01:09:40,209
to soften the blow for Jensen.

1290
01:09:41,010 --> 01:09:44,413
[Booker] Let me tell you something Briggs
is thinking about one thing, man.

1291
01:09:44,480 --> 01:09:47,950
Briggs is thinking about tag team gold
and he needs his partner Jensen

1292
01:09:48,017 --> 01:09:51,420
to have his head in the game
because he's ready, look at the big man.

1293
01:09:51,487 --> 01:09:55,324
-Look at the big man, he's ready to go.
-[Vic] Briggs has to be torn, though.

1294
01:09:55,391 --> 01:09:59,795
He's the bigger brother to Jensen
for lack of a better phrase

1295
01:09:59,862 --> 01:10:02,965
and he knows it's Wrestlemania,
he knows how big this match is,

1296
01:10:03,032 --> 01:10:04,833
but he also knows
a little bit of information

1297
01:10:04,900 --> 01:10:06,602
he doesn't want to share quite yet.

1298
01:10:06,669 --> 01:10:09,872
[Booker] As well as he knows
his brother got his nose wide open.

1299
01:10:09,939 --> 01:10:13,375
You can't be thinking about the ladies
in situation like this, Vic.

1300
01:10:13,442 --> 01:10:14,677
You just can't do it.

1301
01:10:14,743 --> 01:10:18,113
[Vic] Now Tony D'Angelo
checking into The Don in control.

1302
01:10:18,180 --> 01:10:22,218
Who could forget last year in Dallas
when Tony defeated Tommaso Ciampa,

1303
01:10:22,284 --> 01:10:24,486
the first step to becoming The Don?

1304
01:10:24,553 --> 01:10:28,190
This could be the second step
for Tony D'Angelo this year

1305
01:10:28,257 --> 01:10:31,160
at Stand & Deliver
to call himself champion.

1306
01:10:31,227 --> 01:10:33,462
[Booker] Tony D'Angelo is very,
very capable.

1307
01:10:33,529 --> 01:10:35,931
Since he's been back,
you look at the body,

1308
01:10:35,998 --> 01:10:39,335
you look at the guy,
he's in shape, he's been training.

1309
01:10:39,401 --> 01:10:42,471
Look at the quickness. Oh, yes.

1310
01:10:42,538 --> 01:10:44,807
-[Vic] Oh. Did you hear that?
-[Booker] Yes.

1311
01:10:44,873 --> 01:10:47,643
[Vic] Briggs and Jensen
right now in control.

1312
01:10:47,710 --> 01:10:51,146
We saw Indi Hartwell make the most of
her opportunity earlier tonight.

1313
01:10:51,213 --> 01:10:54,283
Briggs and Jensen trying to do
the same here this evening

1314
01:10:54,350 --> 01:10:59,054
to punch their ticket to Los Angeles,
but Stacks and D'Angelo in control.

1315
01:10:59,121 --> 01:11:03,692
Now it's Lorenzo into the cover
and a quick kickout at one.

1316
01:11:03,759 --> 01:11:06,195
-I can't believe you did this.
-Oh, yes.

1317
01:11:06,262 --> 01:11:07,563
I'm so horrible, Fallon.

1318
01:11:07,630 --> 01:11:09,832
I got them a chance
to be on Stand & Deliver.

1319
01:11:09,898 --> 01:11:12,901
-So terrible. All right.
-When this is over, I'm telling him.

1320
01:11:12,968 --> 01:11:17,306
-Fallon, let's talk.
-[crowd cheers]

1321
01:11:17,373 --> 01:11:22,845
[Vic] I don't think right now that Jensen
and Briggs need another distraction

1322
01:11:22,911 --> 01:11:27,216
after what we just witnessed because
Briggs right now isn't looking the best.

1323
01:11:27,282 --> 01:11:29,251
Jensen right now, like a caged animal.

1324
01:11:29,318 --> 01:11:31,620
They realize that
that Championship opportunity

1325
01:11:31,687 --> 01:11:35,991
could be slipping through their hands
here tonight for this Saturday.

1326
01:11:39,395 --> 01:11:43,332
Briggs back to his feet, tag was made.
D'Angelo's back in.

1327
01:11:43,399 --> 01:11:45,801
D'Angelo's legal, but so is Jensen.

1328
01:11:45,868 --> 01:11:49,438
Things starting to break down,
but look who's standing tall.

1329
01:11:51,774 --> 01:11:54,309
Briggs and Jensen on the same page.

1330
01:11:54,376 --> 01:11:57,780
Bam. Looking to punch
their ticket to Los Angeles.

1331
01:11:57,846 --> 01:11:59,748
Looking to make it to Stand & Deliver.

1332
01:11:59,815 --> 01:12:04,520
[indistinct chatter]

1333
01:12:08,357 --> 01:12:12,995
[Vic] Back on NXT,
huge tag team matchup here this week

1334
01:12:13,062 --> 01:12:15,130
because if Briggs and Jensen could win,

1335
01:12:15,197 --> 01:12:21,537
they'll be added to the NXT tag team title
match at Stand & Deliver this Saturday.

1336
01:12:21,603 --> 01:12:26,108
As you can see, Kiana James and
her Championship partner, Fallon Henley,

1337
01:12:26,175 --> 01:12:28,844
who have a Championship match
of their own in Los Angeles,

1338
01:12:28,911 --> 01:12:32,214
have made their way at ringside,
but the last thing, Book,

1339
01:12:32,281 --> 01:12:36,051
that Briggs and Jensen need
is a distraction in this moment.

1340
01:12:36,118 --> 01:12:40,789
[Booker] Definitely, getting congested out
here with the ladies being at ringside.

1341
01:12:40,856 --> 01:12:44,626
The focus is definitely not going to be
where it should be in a matchup like that.

1342
01:12:44,693 --> 01:12:47,396
This is huge. High stakes, Vic. Oh, yes.

1343
01:12:47,463 --> 01:12:48,664
[Vic] Bam, from behind.

1344
01:12:48,731 --> 01:12:51,900
Stacks and D'Angelo want to keep
Saturday's tag team matchup

1345
01:12:51,967 --> 01:12:55,804
a triple threat match and we talk about
the success of the Don

1346
01:12:55,871 --> 01:13:00,342
-who has really turned--
-[Booker] Take the shot. Whoa. Wow. Wow.

1347
01:13:00,409 --> 01:13:03,412
[Vic] With the addition of Lorenzo
over the last several months,

1348
01:13:03,479 --> 01:13:04,313
nearly a year,

1349
01:13:04,380 --> 01:13:07,549
that win against Ciampa
led to the arrival of Stacks,

1350
01:13:07,616 --> 01:13:09,718
who then has grown into an underboss.

1351
01:13:09,785 --> 01:13:15,324
On Saturday, both Stacks and D'Angelo
can wear gold for the first time.

1352
01:13:15,391 --> 01:13:18,594
[Booker] Yes, indeed. Now look at
a team like Briggs and Jensen,

1353
01:13:18,660 --> 01:13:22,231
you can't tell me these guys can compete
in this tag team division though

1354
01:13:22,297 --> 01:13:26,135
with teams like Pretty Deadly,
the Creed Brothers, [indistinct]

1355
01:13:26,201 --> 01:13:28,971
Champion, Gallus,
they got to feel a certain kind of way

1356
01:13:29,037 --> 01:13:33,842
seeing Gallus just slip in there
and take those tag team Championships.

1357
01:13:33,909 --> 01:13:36,278
-[Vic] Now, oh.
-[Booker] Oh, yes.

1358
01:13:36,345 --> 01:13:39,448
[Vic] Tandem offense,
this is going to be a nice--

1359
01:13:39,515 --> 01:13:40,783
[Booker] Dude, thank you.

1360
01:13:40,849 --> 01:13:44,319
[Vic] Saturday a triple threat.
Jensen just got that left shoulder up.

1361
01:13:44,987 --> 01:13:47,489
-Take a look.
-[Booker] Check this out, doom's day.

1362
01:13:47,556 --> 01:13:49,124
Doom's day right here. Oh, yes.

1363
01:13:49,191 --> 01:13:53,295
[Vic] Feel that impact across the chest,
across the jaw.

1364
01:13:53,362 --> 01:13:57,299
I'm looking up at Briggs right now,
you see Briggs leaning over,

1365
01:13:57,366 --> 01:13:59,034
he's sensing it.

1366
01:13:59,101 --> 01:14:02,438
That right now it's got to be desperation
for Briggs and Jensen

1367
01:14:02,504 --> 01:14:07,309
who want to taste success,
who want to be champions one more time.

1368
01:14:07,376 --> 01:14:09,912
[Booker] He's feeling right now,
it's now or never.

1369
01:14:09,978 --> 01:14:12,047
We got to go out here. We got to cash in.

1370
01:14:12,114 --> 01:14:16,452
We got one shot and
we got to do it tonight. Oh, yes. Oh, yes.

1371
01:14:16,518 --> 01:14:19,154
[Vic] We talking about the pressure
all evening long.

1372
01:14:19,221 --> 01:14:21,456
The pressure of the start tonight
with 20 superstars,

1373
01:14:21,523 --> 01:14:24,326
try and earn that fifth and final spot.

1374
01:14:24,393 --> 01:14:26,962
The pressure of that last chance
triple threat match

1375
01:14:27,029 --> 01:14:29,832
where Hartwell was able to secure
her spot in Los Angeles

1376
01:14:29,898 --> 01:14:34,403
and now both these teams feeling
the pressure here tonight to find out

1377
01:14:34,469 --> 01:14:37,239
will be a fatal four-way
or will it be a triple threat match.

1378
01:14:37,306 --> 01:14:42,478
Briggs made the tag, Briggs is in, and
Briggs is taking control of this matchup.

1379
01:14:42,544 --> 01:14:46,281
[Booker] Briggs, you don't want to let
this big man right here on the move

1380
01:14:46,348 --> 01:14:50,285
because once he does,
he gets excited, he gets hyped up

1381
01:14:50,352 --> 01:14:52,921
and he gets ready to do it. Here we go.

1382
01:14:52,988 --> 01:14:58,060
[Vic] Briggs turning into a one-man
wrecking-- Brooks, wants a tag?

1383
01:14:59,094 --> 01:15:02,664
Oh, he's got Kiana out here. Uh, oh.

1384
01:15:02,731 --> 01:15:07,803
All the way, tippy top,
spinning heel kick to go to Los Angeles.

1385
01:15:07,870 --> 01:15:08,904
[Booker] That's it.

1386
01:15:08,971 --> 01:15:11,340
[Vic] The Don breaks it up
at the last moment.

1387
01:15:12,207 --> 01:15:13,408
Wow.

1388
01:15:13,475 --> 01:15:17,379
[Booker] Talking about the last second
is correct, Vic. Wow.

1389
01:15:18,981 --> 01:15:22,651
[crowd chanting] NXT!

1390
01:15:22,718 --> 01:15:26,855
[Vic] You can feel the love from
the NXT Universe for both these teams,

1391
01:15:26,922 --> 01:15:31,493
all four of these superstars
because we all know what's on the line.

1392
01:15:31,560 --> 01:15:33,929
[Booker] It's about
sucking it up right now.

1393
01:15:33,996 --> 01:15:36,031
[Vic] This Saturday it's Stand & Deliver--

1394
01:15:36,098 --> 01:15:39,034
-[Booker] Oh, here we go.
-[Vic] It's Wrestlemania Saturday.

1395
01:15:39,101 --> 01:15:41,470
It's the biggest stage
for all these superstars,

1396
01:15:41,536 --> 01:15:44,606
and it's all about the NXT
tag team Championships. Oh.

1397
01:15:44,673 --> 01:15:47,943
[Booker] Oh. Big mistake right there
by that big man Josh Briggs.

1398
01:15:48,010 --> 01:15:51,446
[Vic] Look at the Don, he goes out,
he tags himself into the matchup.

1399
01:15:51,513 --> 01:15:56,919
Now in control,
Stacks and the Don, the family.

1400
01:15:58,053 --> 01:15:59,755
Oh, oh.

1401
01:15:59,821 --> 01:16:01,490
Bada bing bada boom.

1402
01:16:01,557 --> 01:16:04,960
Into the cover,
and Saturday will remain a triple threat.

1403
01:16:05,027 --> 01:16:06,395
[bell rings]

1404
01:16:06,461 --> 01:16:07,996
[victory music plays]

1405
01:16:08,063 --> 01:16:09,798
[Beth] Here are your winners,

1406
01:16:09,865 --> 01:16:15,370
Channing Stacks Lorenzo and Tony D'Angelo.

1407
01:16:15,437 --> 01:16:20,809
[Vic] Stacks and The Don
get the job done tonight.

1408
01:16:20,876 --> 01:16:24,880
Can they do it again on Saturday?

1409
01:16:25,681 --> 01:16:29,184
We talked about the pressure on, well,

1410
01:16:29,251 --> 01:16:33,221
the family stood
and delivered here tonight.

1411
01:16:33,288 --> 01:16:37,793
A big win to keep Saturday's tag team
match-up a triple threat

1412
01:16:37,859 --> 01:16:41,630
and it will not be a fatal four-way.

1413
01:16:41,697 --> 01:16:46,401
I'm sure a sigh of relief
from The Creeds and from Gallus.

1414
01:16:47,202 --> 01:16:52,040
Brooks, I know this is not a good time,
but this has gone on long enough.

1415
01:16:52,107 --> 01:16:55,310
There is something
Kiana needs to tell you.

1416
01:16:56,478 --> 01:16:57,646
Fallon's right.

1417
01:16:57,713 --> 01:17:02,317
Brooks, there is something
that I should probably tell you.

1418
01:17:02,384 --> 01:17:03,919
You better tell him. Tell him.

1419
01:17:05,654 --> 01:17:07,189
I'd rather show you.

1420
01:17:14,029 --> 01:17:18,066
-[crowd cheers]
-[Vic] He did it. Book, he did it.

1421
01:17:18,133 --> 01:17:21,336
[Booker] Suggy ducky quack quack.

1422
01:17:23,705 --> 01:17:24,973
[Vic] He's in the game.

1423
01:17:26,141 --> 01:17:28,543
-[Booker] Oh, yes.
-[Vic] Brooks is on base.

1424
01:17:28,610 --> 01:17:34,449
[Brooker chuckling] That boy about to do
this thing. It's about to get harder.

1425
01:17:34,516 --> 01:17:36,518
Did that [indistinct]
Green up in here, man.

1426
01:17:36,585 --> 01:17:39,121
[music continues]

1427
01:17:42,791 --> 01:17:45,761
[Vic] I've been holding
this unsanctioned contract all week.

1428
01:17:45,827 --> 01:17:49,865
Gargano isn't in sight
and Waller is making his way to the ring.

1429
01:17:49,931 --> 01:17:51,967
We have been waiting all night to see

1430
01:17:52,034 --> 01:17:56,338
if the arrogant Aussie will sign
on the dotted line. We'll find out next.

1431
01:17:59,975 --> 01:18:01,109
[energetic music plays]

1432
01:18:01,176 --> 01:18:02,144
[Vic] Welcome back.

1433
01:18:02,210 --> 01:18:06,214
We want to send a special thank you
to turnstile for their song blackout,

1434
01:18:06,281 --> 01:18:10,018
the official theme for NXT Stand & Deliver
from the album Glow

1435
01:18:10,085 --> 01:18:14,322
on available now
on Apple music and Spotify.

1436
01:18:15,791 --> 01:18:18,160
Speaking of Stand & Deliver,

1437
01:18:18,226 --> 01:18:21,263
it's the youngest main event
in Wrestlemania weekend history,

1438
01:18:21,329 --> 01:18:23,865
two of the best this brand has.

1439
01:18:23,932 --> 01:18:26,835
In Los Angeles, it's the match
we've all been waiting for,

1440
01:18:26,902 --> 01:18:29,571
Breakker, Hayes for the NXT title.

1441
01:18:29,638 --> 01:18:33,375
The return of Roxanne Perez sent
shockwaves through the locker room.

1442
01:18:33,442 --> 01:18:36,144
The rules remain the same,
who will climb the ladder?

1443
01:18:36,211 --> 01:18:37,813
Who will retrieve the gold?

1444
01:18:37,879 --> 01:18:42,084
Who will call themselves
the NXT women's champion in Los Angeles?

1445
01:18:42,150 --> 01:18:46,655
The Wes Lee open challenge heads to L.A.
as the champion has hand-picked the field.

1446
01:18:46,722 --> 01:18:51,460
Can Wes Lee once again overcome the odds
on Wrestlemania Saturday?

1447
01:18:51,526 --> 01:18:54,196
The bait of Chase University
hangs with the balance

1448
01:18:54,262 --> 01:18:57,933
and this eight-person showdown
whose principles will bring them power

1449
01:18:57,999 --> 01:18:59,668
at Stand & Deliver.

1450
01:18:59,735 --> 01:19:02,571
The NXT women's tag team titles
are on the line

1451
01:19:02,637 --> 01:19:06,441
as the champions have their own inner
turmoil while the unholy challengers

1452
01:19:06,508 --> 01:19:08,877
look to bring darkness to NXT.

1453
01:19:08,944 --> 01:19:11,780
Could it happen
in four days in Los Angeles?

1454
01:19:11,847 --> 01:19:15,917
The NXT tag team titles will be defended
under triple threat rules,

1455
01:19:15,984 --> 01:19:19,454
Gallus does not seem to be factored
in the decision to lose the gold

1456
01:19:19,521 --> 01:19:22,124
in four days at Stand & Deliver.

1457
01:19:23,325 --> 01:19:27,195
It's 16 months of frustration
that has come to an end

1458
01:19:27,262 --> 01:19:30,465
as Johnny Gargano battles Grayson Waller,
and we're moments away

1459
01:19:30,532 --> 01:19:34,469
from finding out if Waller will sign
the contract to make this match

1460
01:19:34,536 --> 01:19:39,141
an unsanctioned one at Stand & Deliver.

1461
01:19:42,911 --> 01:19:48,416
On the topic, there you see
Waller's security, Booker, here tonight.

1462
01:19:48,483 --> 01:19:50,285
They've gone through the building,

1463
01:19:50,352 --> 01:19:53,355
they've ensured that
Johnny Gargano is not present.

1464
01:19:53,421 --> 01:19:57,692
We've heard off and on
from Waller all night long.

1465
01:19:57,759 --> 01:20:00,862
On cue here comes the arrogant Aussie.

1466
01:20:00,929 --> 01:20:07,302
[energetic music plays]

1467
01:20:07,369 --> 01:20:11,740
[Beth] Please welcome Grayson Waller.

1468
01:20:12,674 --> 01:20:14,943
[Vic] What's running through
your mind, Book?

1469
01:20:15,010 --> 01:20:20,081
[Booker] Well, there's one thing I like
about Waller, the guy has star quality.

1470
01:20:20,148 --> 01:20:22,417
I got to say that,
I got to give him props.

1471
01:20:22,484 --> 01:20:27,522
He set himself up to be
one of the greats in this business.

1472
01:20:27,589 --> 01:20:32,060
He's doing all the right things,
he's making all the right moves

1473
01:20:32,127 --> 01:20:35,664
and he's getting under
the collar of all the right people.

1474
01:20:35,730 --> 01:20:36,898
So, yes, I like him.

1475
01:20:36,965 --> 01:20:39,968
[Vic] You can say that again.

1476
01:20:42,137 --> 01:20:47,909
Obviously, I've been holding this contract
for a week, waiting for Grayson Waller.

1477
01:20:52,280 --> 01:20:53,114
There you go.

1478
01:20:54,049 --> 01:20:55,517
You're going to sign it?

1479
01:21:02,624 --> 01:21:06,895
Whatever happens in this match,
I want to do it in front of you.

1480
01:21:06,962 --> 01:21:10,599
Whatever happens to your boy,
it's on your hands.

1481
01:21:12,701 --> 01:21:14,135
[Booker] Told you, didn't I?

1482
01:21:14,202 --> 01:21:17,305
Mind your business.
I told you that, right?

1483
01:21:17,372 --> 01:21:21,610
You in trouble.
Don't get caught in the parking lot.

1484
01:21:21,676 --> 01:21:23,511
Listen, just let me say that. Okay?

1485
01:21:25,747 --> 01:21:28,316
Hey. You folks better watch my back

1486
01:21:28,383 --> 01:21:30,785
because Gargano is known
for his cheap shots.

1487
01:21:31,720 --> 01:21:33,989
He could come from anywhere, right?

1488
01:21:34,055 --> 01:21:36,825
[boos and cheers]

1489
01:21:39,694 --> 01:21:45,133
I'm staring at this piece of paper
and I still can't believe it.

1490
01:21:47,335 --> 01:21:53,909
Grayson Waller versus Johnny Gargano
at Stand & Deliver.

1491
01:21:53,975 --> 01:21:56,411
[crowd chanting]

1492
01:21:56,478 --> 01:21:59,114
Mello and Bron think
they're the main event,

1493
01:22:00,181 --> 01:22:04,052
but it doesn't matter when I'm on,
Grayson Waller is the real main event.

1494
01:22:05,954 --> 01:22:08,556
Because this is a full-circle moment.

1495
01:22:09,424 --> 01:22:15,797
Two years ago, I was trying to stand out
in front of this new wave of NXT talent.

1496
01:22:15,864 --> 01:22:18,767
I was even trying to build
a relationship with you idiots.

1497
01:22:21,102 --> 01:22:25,173
I was singing, I was dancing,
all the things you pretend you don't like

1498
01:22:25,240 --> 01:22:26,374
but you secretly love.

1499
01:22:28,777 --> 01:22:30,378
Then came WarGames.

1500
01:22:31,680 --> 01:22:38,219
At the time, I was considered
the fourth-best member of Team 2.0.

1501
01:22:38,286 --> 01:22:40,989
[crowd chanting] Shut the hell up!

1502
01:22:41,056 --> 01:22:43,491
So I went out there
because I took it personally,

1503
01:22:43,558 --> 01:22:46,127
I stepped in that cage
and I jumped from the top.

1504
01:22:46,194 --> 01:22:50,865
I put my body on the line because
that was going to be my viral moment.

1505
01:22:50,932 --> 01:22:53,702
My launch pad into superstardom.

1506
01:22:55,704 --> 01:22:56,738
I was wrong.

1507
01:22:58,974 --> 01:23:01,543
Because at the end of the night
after WarGames,

1508
01:23:02,711 --> 01:23:08,550
all anyone could talk about
was Johnny Wrestling.

1509
01:23:11,519 --> 01:23:16,291
Two nights later, in a night I know
you remember very vividly,

1510
01:23:16,358 --> 01:23:18,293
you walked to this ring,

1511
01:23:18,360 --> 01:23:21,730
and everyone couldn't wait to hear
what you had to say.

1512
01:23:21,796 --> 01:23:25,567
[crowd chanting]

1513
01:23:25,633 --> 01:23:28,336
Because you kiss his ass so much,

1514
01:23:28,403 --> 01:23:31,740
Shawn Michaels gave you
as much time as you wanted,

1515
01:23:34,376 --> 01:23:36,711
but it only took me 30 seconds.

1516
01:23:38,313 --> 01:23:41,983
I saw my mark and I hit it,
and let's be real Johnny,

1517
01:23:42,050 --> 01:23:44,719
you are the biggest mark in this business.

1518
01:23:48,056 --> 01:23:53,194
I stepped out there and I hit you
with that steel chair and I sent you home.

1519
01:23:53,862 --> 01:23:57,799
I sent myself into the stratosphere,
which is funny

1520
01:23:57,866 --> 01:24:03,738
because only moments before,
you told the world, "Bet on yourself."

1521
01:24:05,640 --> 01:24:08,610
If you want to talk about
the last 15 months,

1522
01:24:08,676 --> 01:24:12,213
no one has bet on themselves
more than Grayson Waller.

1523
01:24:13,715 --> 01:24:18,019
If you want proof, my proof is right here.

1524
01:24:18,686 --> 01:24:23,591
I have the greatest big-match
superstar in NXT history

1525
01:24:23,658 --> 01:24:27,729
begging me to kick his ass
at Stand & Deliver.

1526
01:24:27,796 --> 01:24:31,366
Don't forget that Johnny,
you're begging me,

1527
01:24:31,433 --> 01:24:33,935
I'm your golden ticket right now.

1528
01:24:35,837 --> 01:24:40,041
To be fair, Johnny, you are the greatest
big-match superstar in NXT history.

1529
01:24:40,108 --> 01:24:41,609
You've done it all.

1530
01:24:42,410 --> 01:24:49,250
The records, the titles, the matches,
the moments, Johnny Gargano is Mr. NXT.

1531
01:24:54,923 --> 01:25:00,562
Just like your idol, Mr. Wrestlemania,
Shawn Michaels,

1532
01:25:00,628 --> 01:25:02,864
you are going to lose at Stand & Deliver.

1533
01:25:05,600 --> 01:25:09,404
You bleed black
and gold lad, I bleed green.

1534
01:25:09,471 --> 01:25:14,909
Fifteen months ago,
I used you to put myself on the map.

1535
01:25:17,445 --> 01:25:21,249
At Stand & Deliver,
I use you one more time.

1536
01:25:22,050 --> 01:25:24,953
[upbeat music plays]

1537
01:25:28,823 --> 01:25:31,626
[Vic] Book, wait just a moment.

1538
01:25:38,666 --> 01:25:40,368
Waller ready for a fight.

1539
01:25:43,972 --> 01:25:45,206
[Booker] Let's do it.

1540
01:25:47,675 --> 01:25:50,845
Come on. Let's go.

1541
01:25:50,912 --> 01:25:53,281
[cheers and applause]

1542
01:25:53,348 --> 01:25:54,716
[Vic] Gargano's here!

1543
01:25:58,219 --> 01:26:00,054
And Waller realizing it.

1544
01:26:00,121 --> 01:26:02,624
[Booker] Oh, yes.
These two can't get along.

1545
01:26:02,690 --> 01:26:05,193
-Let them get it on.
-[Vic] It's all breaking down.

1546
01:26:05,260 --> 01:26:06,528
[Booker] Let's do it.

1547
01:26:06,594 --> 01:26:11,266
[crowd chanting] Let them fight!

1548
01:26:16,604 --> 01:26:19,073
[Vic] They can't be separated, Book.

1549
01:26:20,141 --> 01:26:22,410
What's going to happen this Saturday?

1550
01:26:22,477 --> 01:26:28,650
[Booker] I can't wait. I can't wait, Vic.
I can't wait. Oh, yes. Oh, damn.

1551
01:26:35,423 --> 01:26:38,760
Come on guys save it.
Save it till the big night.

1552
01:26:38,826 --> 01:26:41,696
[crowd chanting] Johnny!

1553
01:26:47,101 --> 01:26:50,838
[Vic] We're going to need a little bit
more security I think out here, Book.

1554
01:26:50,905 --> 01:26:54,542
[Booker] Save it for the big night, guys.

1555
01:26:55,410 --> 01:26:56,978
There's money to be made here.

1556
01:26:57,779 --> 01:27:02,517
[crowd chanting] Let them fight!

1557
01:27:05,486 --> 01:27:09,190
[Vic] These two absolutely
despise each other.

1558
01:27:16,297 --> 01:27:22,036
[crowd chanting] Johnny Wrestling!

1559
01:27:25,740 --> 01:27:29,177
[Vic] We might find out
if Waller indeed bleeds green.

1560
01:27:29,244 --> 01:27:32,914
There's going to be no rules,
no liability, it's unsanctioned.

1561
01:27:32,981 --> 01:27:37,952
Who will be the one to Stand & Deliver
this Saturday in Los Angeles?

1562
01:27:38,019 --> 01:27:41,189
Subtitles: Jessica Fanelli
d & Deliver
