[WWE intro music]

2
00:00:04,504 --> 00:00:05,372
[man 1] Then.

3
00:00:10,977 --> 00:00:11,878
Now.

4
00:00:17,017 --> 00:00:18,118
Forever.

5
00:00:22,856 --> 00:00:24,057
Together.

6
00:00:30,063 --> 00:00:33,666
[man 1] Los Angeles,
your light shines brighter

7
00:00:34,200 --> 00:00:38,104
as we continue WrestleMania weekend.

8
00:00:38,171 --> 00:00:40,206
Oh, Elton, what a night's headline.

9
00:00:40,273 --> 00:00:41,574
Yes, quite so.

10
00:00:41,641 --> 00:00:45,078
Today, NXT returns to Tinseltown,

11
00:00:45,145 --> 00:00:50,583
so it's only fitting that your visionary,
radiant, glittering hosts, pretty deadly,

12
00:00:50,650 --> 00:00:54,988
are here to present to you what
we'll guarantee to be an unforgettable,

13
00:00:55,055 --> 00:00:58,358
acclaimed and historic spectacle.

14
00:00:58,425 --> 00:01:01,528
-Stand.
-And deliver.

15
00:01:01,594 --> 00:01:04,497
Yes, boy.

16
00:01:05,465 --> 00:01:07,767
[man 2] Six women put
their bodies on the line.

17
00:01:07,834 --> 00:01:11,037
[Elton] In a ladder match to crown
an NXT Women's Champion.

18
00:01:11,104 --> 00:01:12,839
Elton, I predict this could be
a show-stealer.

19
00:01:12,906 --> 00:01:18,545
[Music]

20
00:01:18,611 --> 00:01:20,947
[Kiana] The only way
that I can win this battle

21
00:01:21,014 --> 00:01:25,218
is by climbing that ladder,
retrieving my title, that I never lost.

22
00:01:30,723 --> 00:01:33,860
How is Wes Lee possibly going
to retain his title?

23
00:01:33,927 --> 00:01:39,199
[Wes Lee] I can compete against
the best athletes, from around the world.

24
00:01:39,265 --> 00:01:43,736
Which of these five will have their
golden moment in Los Angeles?

25
00:01:44,337 --> 00:01:47,474
Who will be the North American Champion?

26
00:01:54,914 --> 00:01:58,384
[Elton] The tag team scene has been
a bustling high with competition.

27
00:01:58,451 --> 00:02:03,089
The NXT tag team championships will
be contested in triple-threat match.

28
00:02:03,423 --> 00:02:07,327
[Man 2] At Stand and Deliver,
the creeds, Tony and Stacks,

29
00:02:07,393 --> 00:02:11,564
they'll find out the hard way.
Gallus boys on top.

30
00:02:13,299 --> 00:02:15,935
[Elton] NXT women's tag team champions,

31
00:02:16,002 --> 00:02:19,839
Fallon Henley and Kiana James
are in their first title defense

32
00:02:19,906 --> 00:02:24,310
against a dark force that could cast
a shadow over their short reign.

33
00:02:24,377 --> 00:02:29,015
Two spirits in turmoil do
not deserve to be champions.

34
00:02:29,516 --> 00:02:34,888
At Stand and Deliver, we burn
our opposition to the ground.

35
00:02:36,689 --> 00:02:38,458
[man 2] Johnny Gargano now must
do everything in his power

36
00:02:38,525 --> 00:02:41,161
to exact revenge on Grayson Waller.

37
00:02:41,594 --> 00:02:45,231
[Elton] A match so brutal, it could take
years off of your career.

38
00:02:46,332 --> 00:02:49,002
Grayson Waller versus
Johnny Gargano, no rules,

39
00:02:49,068 --> 00:02:54,874
anything goes in an unsanctioned match.

40
00:02:55,942 --> 00:02:59,846
[Man 2] The future is all about
these two titans

41
00:02:59,913 --> 00:03:04,050
who have been on a collision course
18 months in the making.

42
00:03:04,117 --> 00:03:08,087
This could be the biggest match
in NXT history.

43
00:03:08,154 --> 00:03:10,790
[Man 3] At Stand and Deliver, I'm going
to take everything from you Bron,

44
00:03:10,857 --> 00:03:12,492
and I'm going to take
it because it's mine.

45
00:03:12,759 --> 00:03:17,597
Because I am him, and I promise
I will walk in,

46
00:03:17,664 --> 00:03:23,436
and I will walk out at Stand and Deliver
still the NXT champion.

47
00:03:23,703 --> 00:03:25,805
[man 3] The lights are ready.

48
00:03:25,872 --> 00:03:27,707
The cameras are rolling.

49
00:03:27,774 --> 00:03:30,810
The action starts now.

50
00:03:30,877 --> 00:03:36,950
It's time for NXT Stand and Deliver.

51
00:03:41,821 --> 00:03:45,692
[Man 1] Now WWE presents
NXT Stand and Deliver.

52

53

[Elton] The time is indeed now.

54

Wrestlemania Saturday kicks off with NXT,

55
00:03:55,969 --> 00:03:59,138
and while some this weekend
look to finish their stories,

56
00:03:59,339 --> 00:04:02,775
today, these superstars look
to begin theirs.

57
00:04:03,142 --> 00:04:04,677
Who will take their first steps?

58
00:04:04,844 --> 00:04:07,513

[Book] The following is a ladder match
for the NXT Women's Championship.

62
00:04:43,383 --> 00:04:47,320
Introducing Tiffany Stratton.

63
00:04:47,387 --> 00:04:50,890
[Vic] Of course, six women with one goal,
to walk out of Los Angeles

64
00:04:50,957 --> 00:04:53,026
with the NXT Women's Championship.

65
00:04:53,092 --> 00:04:57,397
Welcome in ringside, Vic alongside
the two-time WWE hall of famer Book.

66
00:04:57,463 --> 00:05:00,366
Book, it is WrestleMania Saturday.

67
00:05:00,433 --> 00:05:02,268
I got goosebumps popping out of my boot.

68
00:05:02,335 --> 00:05:06,873
I do agree, man.
It's about to get hot up in here.

69
00:05:06,939 --> 00:05:09,575
Right now, book, who's going
to climb the ladder?

70
00:05:09,642 --> 00:05:11,577
-Who's going to retrieve the gold?
-Yes.

71
00:05:11,644 --> 00:05:13,646
-Who's walking out NXT Women's Champ?
-Let's do it.

72
00:05:14,681 --> 00:05:16,849
There's a question, who's going
to win NXT Women's Championship?

73
00:05:16,916 --> 00:05:18,418
You're so excited
you're not even listening to me.

74
00:05:18,484 --> 00:05:20,086
Did you see Tiffany Stratton, that walk?

75
00:05:20,153 --> 00:05:22,388
It told me a whole lot about her,
so I don't know, man.

76
00:05:22,455 --> 00:05:26,392
It's going to be good.

77
00:05:26,459 --> 00:05:30,129
[Lyra Valkyria's music plays]

78
00:05:32,899 --> 00:05:38,071
[announcer] Next Lyra Valkyria.

79
00:05:38,137 --> 00:05:41,074
[Vic] One name you left
off was Lyra Valkyria

80
00:05:41,140 --> 00:05:43,676
Who has been close to gold in the past.

81
00:05:43,743 --> 00:05:47,814
Is she someone who's being
overlooked here today?

82
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:51,317
[Book] Look here, Lyra made
her debut back in December

83
00:05:51,384 --> 00:05:53,720
and she's moving up the ladder quick.

84
00:05:53,786 --> 00:05:58,391
No pun intended,
but tonight could be a moment.

85
00:05:58,458 --> 00:06:00,893
A moment that will last forever.

86
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:04,497
[Vic] There we see Zoey Stark,
of course, who grew up in the area.

87
00:06:04,564 --> 00:06:08,434
First time she ever attended a live event
the WWE was in this building.

88
00:06:08,501 --> 00:06:10,903
Indi Hartwell has been
looking to claim gold.

89
00:06:11,070 --> 00:06:12,939
Gigi Dolin, we know that story.

90
00:06:13,005 --> 00:06:15,274
She talked about being
an unfinished painting.

91
00:06:15,775 --> 00:06:19,312
Can she finish her own individual
story here tonight?

92
00:06:19,378 --> 00:06:24,083
When you think about the women's division,
you think about the prodigy.

93
00:06:24,784 --> 00:06:31,524
[Man 2] Their opponent,
she is the NXT women's champion,

94
00:06:31,591 --> 00:06:36,262
Roxanne Perez.

95
00:06:36,329 --> 00:06:38,297
-[Vic] She's been cleared by medical.
-[Book] Yes.

96
00:06:38,364 --> 00:06:41,267
She was okayed to be
an this matchup by Shawn Michaels.

97
00:06:41,334 --> 00:06:43,903
You have known her longer than anyone.

98
00:06:43,970 --> 00:06:47,640
Was it wise for Roxanne Perez
to want to be in this matchup?

99
00:06:47,707 --> 00:06:49,475
Everything that's gone
on over the last month?

100
00:06:49,542 --> 00:06:51,477
[Book] I'm so excited, Vic,
I'm so excited for this young lady.

101
00:06:51,544 --> 00:06:52,779
Because she could have sat
on the sideline,

102
00:06:52,845 --> 00:06:55,948
she could have fought another day,
but, she wants to out there and prove

103
00:06:56,015 --> 00:07:00,086
that she is truly the best
in this business at 21 years old.

104
00:07:00,319 --> 00:07:03,756
I give her a whole lot of credit
for stepping inside this square

105
00:07:03,823 --> 00:07:05,958
circle with these ladies tonight.

106
00:07:06,025 --> 00:07:09,095
[Vic] All six, I just peeked up
from the monitor,

107
00:07:09,162 --> 00:07:14,267
all staring at the NXT Women's Title,
which is very high above the ring.

108
00:07:14,333 --> 00:07:17,436
[Bell rings]

109
00:07:17,503 --> 00:07:20,606
The reality is starting
to set in for these six,

110
00:07:20,673 --> 00:07:24,377
and right now, right off the bat,
we see some going to the outside.

111
00:07:24,443 --> 00:07:27,447
There's a lot of strategy at play
in this sort of matchup.

112
00:07:27,513 --> 00:07:30,316
[Book] No, Vic, there's no strategy.

113
00:07:30,383 --> 00:07:32,919
-[Vic] What do you mean, no strategy?
-[Book] No, no.

114
00:07:32,985 --> 00:07:35,054
It's going to be being
in the right place at the right time.

115
00:07:35,121 --> 00:07:37,990
Who's going to have
the intentional fortitude?

116
00:07:38,057 --> 00:07:40,026
The will to last in this matchup tonight.

117
00:07:40,092 --> 00:07:41,194
[Vic] Well, there's Indi Hartwell,
and Indi Hartwell

118
00:07:41,260 --> 00:07:42,862
said this is about her life's work.

119
00:07:42,929 --> 00:07:44,564
She dedicated her life for this moment,
for this spotlight.

120
00:07:44,630 --> 00:07:48,668
Moved all the way America from Australia
after turning just 22 years old.

121
00:07:48,734 --> 00:07:51,838
[Book] Indi Hartwell is so lucky
to have this opportunity.

122
00:07:52,305 --> 00:07:55,241
She needs to cash in on it because
this could mess with the psyche,

123
00:07:55,308 --> 00:07:58,177
not getting a big victory like
this tonight at Stand and Deliver.

124
00:07:58,244 --> 00:08:01,848
[Vic] Also Zoey stark looking
to cash-in as well, but for Roxanne

125
00:08:01,914 --> 00:08:04,417
Perez, it's all about
defending her championship.

126
00:08:04,484 --> 00:08:07,987
She was close to not being able
to even do that here in Los Angeles.

127
00:08:08,054 --> 00:08:09,956
[Book] There's that progidy
right there, Vic.

128
00:08:10,022 --> 00:08:14,727
That special talent that's extraordinary.
Let's see if she could pull it off here.

129
00:08:14,794 --> 00:08:17,597
[Vic] Perez said she would do anything,
nothing would stop her,

130
00:08:17,663 --> 00:08:21,767
for what she loves in life
and that is to be here and compete

131
00:08:21,834 --> 00:08:25,371
for the NXT universe on this sort
of stage Wrestlemania Saturday.

132
00:08:25,438 --> 00:08:27,240
When you think about what
all these women are fighting for,

133
00:08:27,306 --> 00:08:30,009
that NXT Women's Title,
look no further than what's going

134
00:08:30,076 --> 00:08:32,111
to happen later today at Sofi Stadium.

135
00:08:32,178 --> 00:08:34,580
Charlotte flair, Rhea Ripley
for the smackdown women's title.

136
00:08:34,647 --> 00:08:35,715
[Book] Oh, yes.

137
00:08:35,781 --> 00:08:38,818
[Vic] Both a pair of former
NXT Women's Champions in their own rights.

138
00:08:38,885 --> 00:08:41,387
[Book] Just going to show
you the magnitude of this matchup.

139
00:08:41,454 --> 00:08:44,724
One of these ladies want
to be in that position one day

140
00:08:44,790 --> 00:08:47,059
and that day could come really,
really soon, Vic.

141
00:08:47,126 --> 00:08:49,362
[Vic] I got to say, Book,
Roxanne Perez for all the questions

142
00:08:49,428 --> 00:08:52,031
coming into this matchup,
she's been on a roll.

143
00:08:52,098 --> 00:08:54,800
[Book] Whoa, whoa, whoa.

144
00:08:54,867 --> 00:08:56,369
[Vic] She might have been
wiped out, and now it's

145
00:08:56,435 --> 00:08:59,505
Dolin and Stratton, and you take
a look around, no ladders yet

146
00:08:59,572 --> 00:09:01,674
have made their way into the ring.

147
00:09:01,741 --> 00:09:04,210
Again, it goes back to strategy
in this matchup of--

148
00:09:04,277 --> 00:09:05,645
[Book] you're still talking strategy, Vic.

149
00:09:05,711 --> 00:09:07,246
[Vic] I'm talking about the strategy
of some in this match.

150
00:09:07,313 --> 00:09:10,616
[Book] It's not going to come down
to strategy at the end of the night, Vic.

151
00:09:10,683 --> 00:09:13,219
It's going to come down to will,
heart and determination.

152
00:09:13,286 --> 00:09:15,955
Something that I think Gigi Dolin has.

153
00:09:16,022 --> 00:09:19,158
[Vic] Dolin said she's ready
to put her toxic past behind her.

154
00:09:19,225 --> 00:09:20,826
She's taken steps to do that.

155
00:09:20,893 --> 00:09:23,930
Is she the one to take the ladder,
and go step by step

156
00:09:23,996 --> 00:09:26,198
to the NXT Women's Championship?

157
00:09:26,265 --> 00:09:29,869
[Book] Gigi knows about life struggles,
Vic.

158
00:09:29,936 --> 00:09:34,106
One thing about coming up that way,
you don't have a whole lot,

159
00:09:34,173 --> 00:09:36,842
but you don't miss what
you never had until you get it.

160
00:09:36,909 --> 00:09:38,578
Oh, here we go.

161
00:09:38,644 --> 00:09:39,579
[Vic] Well, talking about getting it,

162
00:09:39,645 --> 00:09:41,047
look at Tiffany Stratton putting
in the work.

163
00:09:41,113 --> 00:09:42,248
Whoa.

164
00:09:42,315 --> 00:09:43,549
[Book] Oh, wow.

165
00:09:43,616 --> 00:09:45,685
[Vic] Zoey Stark trying
to answer right back.

166
00:09:45,751 --> 00:09:49,822
Zoey stark strongly believes she has been
at the top of this women's division.

167
00:09:49,889 --> 00:09:51,724
[Book] Oh, wow.

168
00:09:51,791 --> 00:09:54,927
Indi Hartwell said I want
a piece of the action,

169
00:09:54,994 --> 00:09:57,897
a little of this champagne wishes
and caviar dreams.

170
00:09:57,964 --> 00:10:00,099
Let me get a piece, but back to Zoey, man.

171
00:10:00,166 --> 00:10:04,503
Zoey feel like she's paying her dues, Vic.
She feel like she's put in the work.

172
00:10:04,570 --> 00:10:05,705
[crowd cheers]

173
00:10:05,771 --> 00:10:09,041
[Vic] Whoop.
Talk about putting in the work.

174
00:10:09,108 --> 00:10:12,845
Hartwell doing that right now.
Looking around, look up.

175
00:10:12,912 --> 00:10:14,747
[Book] Oh, wow.

176
00:10:14,814 --> 00:10:18,784
Valkyria in the right place,
like I said, Vic, at the right time.

177
00:10:18,851 --> 00:10:22,088
Biggest stage Valkyria
has ever competed on.

178
00:10:22,154 --> 00:10:27,159
[Crowd chants "NXT"]

179
00:10:29,462 --> 00:10:32,965
[Vic] You hear the NXT universe
here tonight on their feet.

180
00:10:33,299 --> 00:10:37,503
Now a little bit of a struggle
between these two.

181
00:10:37,570 --> 00:10:41,073
[Book] Roxanne tried to take advantage
of that ladder being in the ring.

182
00:10:41,140 --> 00:10:42,241
[Vic] Oh.

183
00:10:42,308 --> 00:10:45,945
[Book] Valkyria wants this thing, man.
Look at the eyes of Valkyria.

184
00:10:46,012 --> 00:10:47,713
[Vic] Right now, boom.

185
00:10:47,780 --> 00:10:49,348
Could have just rolled the eyes
in the back of the head

186
00:10:49,415 --> 00:10:53,152
after that strike to Perez.
Dolin now gets caught.

187
00:10:53,219 --> 00:10:55,287
Look at the combination
offense from Valkyria.

188
00:10:55,354 --> 00:10:56,656
[Book] Those educated feet, Vic.

189
00:10:56,722 --> 00:10:59,558
Those educated feet are coming
into play right now.

190
00:10:59,625 --> 00:11:01,961
Oh, here we go. Here comes the pain.

191
00:11:02,028 --> 00:11:03,663
[Vic] Spine on ladder.

192
00:11:03,729 --> 00:11:05,464
Ladder's always going to win.

193
00:11:05,531 --> 00:11:08,434
[Book] Yes, indeed.
I hated these ladder matches.

194
00:11:08,501 --> 00:11:11,303
Anything can happen. Unpredictability.

195
00:11:11,370 --> 00:11:13,406
[Vic] Watch out, Book.

196
00:11:16,709 --> 00:11:22,782
Hartwell overpowering
Zoey Stark right now.

197
00:11:25,885 --> 00:11:30,523
You can hear just Hartwell.
Stratton, what's on her mind now?

198
00:11:30,589 --> 00:11:32,091
Look at Hartwell quickly.

199
00:11:32,158 --> 00:11:33,893
All six of these women.

200
00:11:33,959 --> 00:11:36,729
We talk about that NXT
Women's Championship.

201
00:11:36,796 --> 00:11:38,330
Whoa, whoa, whoa.

202
00:11:38,397 --> 00:11:41,133
[Book] Talk about strategy.
This is a strategy.

203
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:42,968
Oh, yes.

204
00:11:43,969 --> 00:11:49,241
[Vic] These women willing to destroy
themselves to destroy the other.

205
00:11:49,308 --> 00:11:50,709
[Book] Look at the ring.

206
00:11:50,776 --> 00:11:52,445
[Vic] It's? Valkyria.

207
00:11:52,511 --> 00:11:54,947
Finally, a ladder being set up,
and Valkyria now trying to go

208
00:11:55,014 --> 00:11:56,248
rung-by-rung.

209
00:11:56,315 --> 00:11:57,750
[Book] This could be that moment
we was talking about, Vic.

210
00:11:57,817 --> 00:11:58,884
[Vic] Trying to fly.

211
00:11:58,951 --> 00:12:00,453
[Book] She's getting up quick.

212
00:12:00,519 --> 00:12:02,221
[Vic] Stark realizing it, cutting her off.

213
00:12:02,288 --> 00:12:06,425
Stark now slowing the pace
of this matchup down quickly.

214
00:12:06,492 --> 00:12:10,029
[Book] Like I said, Vic, Zoey Stark,
she's paying her dues.

215
00:12:10,096 --> 00:12:11,697
She wants to work on that main stage.

216
00:12:11,764 --> 00:12:15,201
She wants to be at Wrestlemania one day.
Just like you, Vic.

217
00:12:15,267 --> 00:12:17,470
You want to be calling
the big matches one day.

218
00:12:17,536 --> 00:12:19,438
That's what Zoey stark wants in her life.

219
00:12:19,505 --> 00:12:21,040
[Vic] Walk in.

220
00:12:21,107 --> 00:12:23,342
Look at Valkyria. Look at the balance.
Look at the athleticism.

221
00:12:23,409 --> 00:12:25,311
Up on that ladder right now, Vic.

222
00:12:25,377 --> 00:12:28,881
Not necessarily perfectly placed
underneath the championship,

223
00:12:28,948 --> 00:12:33,686
but at this point,
Valkyria teetering with Tiffany.

224
00:12:33,752 --> 00:12:35,688
[Book] Say what you want to say
about Tiffany's threat.

225
00:12:35,755 --> 00:12:40,593
Tantalizing, titillating,
but she's a baddie. Oh, yes.

226
00:12:42,294 --> 00:12:44,497
[Vic] Stark, look at Hartwell.

227
00:12:44,563 --> 00:12:46,665
Hartwell trying to wipe out
Stark real quick.

228
00:12:46,732 --> 00:12:49,502
[Book] Combination right there
by Indi Hartwell.

229
00:12:49,568 --> 00:12:51,270
Looking to cash in.

230
00:12:51,337 --> 00:12:52,805
She's looking for black gold.

231
00:12:52,872 --> 00:12:53,973
Texas tears.

232
00:12:54,039 --> 00:12:55,641
She needs that title around her waist.

233
00:12:55,708 --> 00:12:56,842
[Vic] Look what Hartwell realized.

234
00:12:56,909 --> 00:12:58,711
She realized she
had to reposition the ladder.

235
00:12:59,145 --> 00:13:02,248
Very wise of Hartwell, and this could be
Indi's moment now.

236
00:13:02,314 --> 00:13:04,083
She got it centered up. But can she climb?

237
00:13:04,150 --> 00:13:05,918
She's got to go. She's got
to move maybe a little bit faster.

238
00:13:05,985 --> 00:13:09,355
There's Stratton, and that's another
danger of the ladder match.

239
00:13:09,421 --> 00:13:11,891
[Book] Tiffany's talking
to her at the same time.

240
00:13:11,957 --> 00:13:15,060
[Vic] Perez, she's on the back
of Indi Hartwell.

241
00:13:15,928 --> 00:13:18,597
Tiffany. Tiffany. Fingertips.

242
00:13:18,664 --> 00:13:21,467
[Book] So close, Vic. So close. Oh, wow.

243
00:13:21,534 --> 00:13:23,035
[Vic] You can see Roxanne Perez.

244
00:13:23,102 --> 00:13:25,371
She realizes her championship
was almost out, and-- oh,

245
00:13:25,437 --> 00:13:28,040
she just got taken out
along with Stratton.

246
00:13:28,107 --> 00:13:29,608
[Book] Timber.

247
00:13:29,675 --> 00:13:31,677
[Vic] Don't think about it, Indi, move.

248
00:13:34,346 --> 00:13:36,549
[Book] I must say, I agree
with you there, Vic.

249
00:13:36,615 --> 00:13:40,352
Wasting that precious,
precious time in a match like this.

250
00:13:40,419 --> 00:13:41,854
[Vic] Centering it up.

251
00:13:41,921 --> 00:13:44,323
This is the goal that Indi Hartwell
has had her entire life.

252
00:13:44,390 --> 00:13:46,725
She can see it. It's there, and oh.

253
00:13:46,792 --> 00:13:52,198
[Book] Wasted too much time.
Gigi Dolin at the right-- like I say, Vic,

254
00:13:52,264 --> 00:13:54,733
it's going to come down to being
at the right place at the right time.

255
00:13:54,800 --> 00:13:57,503
[Vic] Speaking of Dolin. She's been
on this stage before.

256
00:13:57,570 --> 00:14:00,372
She's turned all that pain.
She's turned all that hurt.

257
00:14:00,439 --> 00:14:02,041
She's turned it into fuel.

258
00:14:02,107 --> 00:14:03,742
The fuel right now for Dolin

259
00:14:03,809 --> 00:14:07,246
to climb that ladder to call herself
a singles champion here in NXT.

260
00:14:07,313 --> 00:14:11,917
Can she manage her emotions tonight?
Emotion to the stage?

261
00:14:11,984 --> 00:14:16,622
[Book] She has to. Being in that group
toxic attraction for so long,

262
00:14:16,689 --> 00:14:19,692
and now being out there on her own,
I'm sure it's different.

263
00:14:19,758 --> 00:14:22,294
I'm sure it's different,
but can she do it? I think so.

264
00:14:22,361 --> 00:14:24,396
[Vic] Right now, her own
momentum took her down,

265
00:14:24,463 --> 00:14:27,666
but she quickly got right back up,
and she is wiping out the field.

266
00:14:27,733 --> 00:14:30,970
This goes back to strategy, Book.
This is great strategy by Dolin.

267
00:14:31,036 --> 00:14:32,805
Take everybody out.

268
00:14:32,872 --> 00:14:36,475
[Book] This is taking the ladder knock
the hell out of somebody, Vic. Come on.

269
00:14:37,009 --> 00:14:40,145
This is win by any means,
I say it all the time.

270
00:14:40,212 --> 00:14:42,648
Win by any means necessary.

271
00:14:42,715 --> 00:14:44,183
[Vic] Valkyria.

272
00:14:44,250 --> 00:14:46,185
[Book] Oh, wow.

273
00:14:47,253 --> 00:14:49,722
[Vic] You start to look around,
especially on Valkyria,

274
00:14:50,189 --> 00:14:54,126
you can see the welts starting to form
on the bodies of all these women.

275
00:14:54,193 --> 00:14:56,395
The dangers of this matchup.

276
00:14:56,862 --> 00:14:59,498
[Book] This is a different Gigi Dolin
here tonight too, Vic. She wants it.

277
00:14:59,565 --> 00:15:03,269
[Vic] Oh. Start connecting
with that super kick.

278
00:15:03,335 --> 00:15:06,605
Charging back in. Oh, and again,
Valkyria gets caught.

279
00:15:08,340 --> 00:15:11,176
You see the field laid out.

280
00:15:11,243 --> 00:15:14,980
Human demolition there by
kicking us off here.

281
00:15:15,047 --> 00:15:16,649
Let's go back to some of this action.

282
00:15:16,715 --> 00:15:19,585
Look at this Nasty, bam,
landing from Valkyria.

283
00:15:19,652 --> 00:15:20,920
[Book] Nasty.

284
00:15:20,986 --> 00:15:24,823
[Vic] Not to be outdone,
Valkyria felt the brunt of Zoey's storm.

285
00:15:24,890 --> 00:15:26,792
[Book] Letting it all hang
out right now, Vic.

286
00:15:27,259 --> 00:15:30,529
I told you, it's going to come
down to attrition.

287
00:15:30,596 --> 00:15:36,168
[Crowd chants "this is awesome"]

288
00:15:36,402 --> 00:15:40,072
[Vic] This is setting the tone,
not just for stand and deliver,

289
00:15:40,139 --> 00:15:42,875
but for Wrestlemania Weekend.

290
00:15:42,942 --> 00:15:45,044
[Book] Like I say Vic.
Looking at that Gigi Dolin,

291
00:15:45,110 --> 00:15:46,745
I say, you never miss what you never had,

292
00:15:46,812 --> 00:15:48,948
but once you get it one time,
if she could get her hands

293
00:15:49,014 --> 00:15:52,484
on that championship, it would change
her life forever.

294
00:15:52,551 --> 00:15:54,486
[Vic] I tried to talk to Gigi Dolin.

295
00:15:54,553 --> 00:15:56,522
She said that this moment
means so much to her.

296
00:15:56,588 --> 00:15:58,891
She was on the pre-show
a year ago in Dallas.

297
00:15:58,958 --> 00:16:02,995
She's now in the opening match.
The spotlight is solely on her.

298
00:16:03,062 --> 00:16:05,798
She is solely in the ring right now,
climbing.

299
00:16:06,265 --> 00:16:11,870
Again, gets caught, Stratton.
Stratton trying to overpower Dolin.

300
00:16:11,937 --> 00:16:15,941
[Book] Look at the strength
of Tiffany Stratton. Oh, yes.

301
00:16:16,408 --> 00:16:18,844
Rolling thunder on the ladder.

302
00:16:18,911 --> 00:16:21,880
[Vic] Nasty landing one more time,
but there's Perez

303
00:16:21,947 --> 00:16:24,116
and the NXT Women's Champion.

304
00:16:24,183 --> 00:16:25,617
[Book] Oh. Going for that.

305
00:16:25,684 --> 00:16:28,287
Going for that Russian, almost got it.
Oh, no.

306
00:16:28,354 --> 00:16:30,389
[Vic] Now, Stratton realizing,
and we can say

307
00:16:30,456 --> 00:16:31,890
what we want to say about
Tiffany Stratton.

308
00:16:31,957 --> 00:16:34,026
She is stepping up in this moment right
now-- oh.

309
00:16:34,493 --> 00:16:36,328
[Book] I've been saying this since
one day What are you talking about?

310
00:16:36,395 --> 00:16:38,931
[Vic] Perez quick as a cat
all the way to the top.

311
00:16:38,997 --> 00:16:42,034
Hands on the title,
but Stratton there quickly realizing it,

312
00:16:42,101 --> 00:16:45,904
and now both women. Look how high
up these women are.

313
00:16:45,971 --> 00:16:48,207
Then both go crashing down.

314
00:16:48,273 --> 00:16:50,943
[Book] Bad, bad spill there by Roxanne.

315
00:16:51,010 --> 00:16:55,147
I didn't like that spill, came down
on the ankle real hard there by Roxanne.

316
00:16:55,214 --> 00:16:58,083
[Vic] You got to wonder the damage
that has been done to Perez

317
00:16:58,150 --> 00:17:00,119
after that battle with Meiko Satomura.

318
00:17:00,185 --> 00:17:03,422
There is Stratton, one more time.
Her own little bit of combination offense,

319
00:17:03,489 --> 00:17:06,425
and now look around, Book.
No one to stop Tiffany.

320
00:17:06,492 --> 00:17:09,261
Tiffany going to the top. Hartwell.

321
00:17:12,097 --> 00:17:16,935
[Book] Oh, yes. My god.
Right on the lower part of the back.

322
00:17:17,002 --> 00:17:19,271
[Vic] That might be the dammest
spine buster

323
00:17:19,338 --> 00:17:21,106
I've ever seen on the steel ladder.

324
00:17:21,173 --> 00:17:24,710
[Book] Yes, Vic. That right there,
like you say, the steel always

325
00:17:24,777 --> 00:17:28,113
wins in that situation. Man.

326
00:17:28,180 --> 00:17:30,983
[Vic] They're taking again a look around.

327
00:17:33,385 --> 00:17:36,055
Indi again trying and Zoey Stark.

328
00:17:36,121 --> 00:17:38,824
These women have-- whoa.

329
00:17:38,891 --> 00:17:40,459
[Book] Indi again going
to have to climb that ladder

330
00:17:40,526 --> 00:17:42,194
with a little more urgency, Vic.

331
00:17:42,261 --> 00:17:45,264
[Vic] Look at Zoey stark at this moment.
You talk about a moment.

332
00:17:45,330 --> 00:17:48,200
She's looking around.
She sat in this very arena.

333
00:17:48,634 --> 00:17:52,838
She has been here for so many different
WWE live events that this could be

334
00:17:52,905 --> 00:17:56,408
her crowning moment with family
in attendance here tonight.

335
00:17:56,475 --> 00:18:00,179
Having to risk it all--
a little misstep there.

336
00:18:00,245 --> 00:18:02,781
Indi was able to get out
of the way, but now that's allowing.

337
00:18:02,848 --> 00:18:06,552
Zoey Stark at this moment
to really put together.

338
00:18:06,618 --> 00:18:08,854
Look at this contraption right now.

339
00:18:08,921 --> 00:18:13,025
[Book] Yes, indeed. Zoey was using
that ladder like a battery ram.

340
00:18:13,091 --> 00:18:15,627
Right now, got Indi
in the right place there.

341
00:18:15,694 --> 00:18:20,232
Get it, Vic. At the right time.
Oh, yes. Wow.

342
00:18:21,100 --> 00:18:25,437
[Vic] Even when delivering the offense,
you can see Zoey Stark cringing

343
00:18:25,504 --> 00:18:29,475
because of what the ladder is doing there,
what she's willing to sacrifice.

344
00:18:29,541 --> 00:18:32,744
[Book] Just to catch an elbow,
catch a knee, anything.

345
00:18:32,811 --> 00:18:35,214
Those ladders, they hurt, Vic.
They hurt a lot.

346
00:18:35,280 --> 00:18:37,149
That's why I hated matches like this.

347
00:18:37,216 --> 00:18:40,385
Not my forte, but they
are history-making matches.

348
00:18:40,452 --> 00:18:42,521
History-making moments.

349
00:18:42,588 --> 00:18:44,756
[Vic] Indi Hartwell, and now Zoey Stark.

350
00:18:44,823 --> 00:18:46,391
Stark in Los Angeles, in her home arena.

351
00:18:46,458 --> 00:18:47,493
[Booker T] She's got it.

352
00:18:47,559 --> 00:18:48,760
[Vic] All the way to the top.

353
00:18:48,994 --> 00:18:53,599
Hand on the gold, crowning moment--
Perez, one more time.

354
00:18:53,665 --> 00:18:56,335
The NXT Women's Champion
realizing her title could be

355
00:18:56,401 --> 00:18:57,736
slipping through her grasp.

356
00:18:58,203 --> 00:18:59,805
Doing anything she can right now, Book.

357
00:18:59,872 --> 00:19:02,140
[Book] Yes, indeed. Yes, indeed.

358
00:19:02,207 --> 00:19:04,910
That's my motto right there, Vic.

359
00:19:04,977 --> 00:19:08,147
By any means necessary,
you do what you got to do.

360
00:19:08,213 --> 00:19:09,348
[Vic] Perez doing just that.

361
00:19:09,414 --> 00:19:12,451
Anything she has to do
to retain the championship.

362
00:19:12,518 --> 00:19:15,487
[Book] Wow. Big back elbow by Zoey.

363
00:19:15,554 --> 00:19:21,093
[Vic] Stark, one more time.
Oh. Perez had an answer.

364
00:19:21,159 --> 00:19:22,995
[Book] Scout it, Vic. Scout it.

365
00:19:23,061 --> 00:19:26,131
Now you talking about strategy.
Strategy just came into play.

366
00:19:26,198 --> 00:19:27,599
Just came into play.

367
00:19:27,666 --> 00:19:30,269
[Vic] Perez realizes she
can't win by pinfall or submission.

368
00:19:30,335 --> 00:19:32,771
She's got to climb the ladder.
She's got to retrieve the title.

369
00:19:32,838 --> 00:19:36,375
Can we see it twice?
We talk about film study.

370
00:19:36,441 --> 00:19:37,943
Stratton was one step ahead.

371
00:19:38,010 --> 00:19:39,811
[Book] Yes, indeed. Yes, indeed.

372
00:19:39,878 --> 00:19:41,680
[Vic] Uh-oh. Looking up.

373
00:19:42,214 --> 00:19:45,484
Oh, Perez again. How does she do this?

374
00:19:45,551 --> 00:19:46,952
How does she overcome the odds?

375
00:19:47,019 --> 00:19:49,087
[Book] That's why they call
her the prodigy, Vic.

376
00:19:49,154 --> 00:19:52,357
That's why they call her that special,
special one.

377
00:19:52,424 --> 00:19:54,893
[Vic] So much imposed pressure.

378
00:19:55,561 --> 00:19:59,865
The prodigy to the top, to the title.
Can she unclasp it?

379
00:19:59,932 --> 00:20:02,034
[Book] So close. So close.

380
00:20:02,100 --> 00:20:06,238
[Vic] Dawn just by the heel
of the boot able to hold on.

381
00:20:08,307 --> 00:20:11,677
-[Vic] Oh.
-[Book] The strength of Gigi Dolin.

382
00:20:15,347 --> 00:20:18,350
[Vic] Talk about nasty landings
and Nasty spills,

383
00:20:18,417 --> 00:20:21,220
I think Dolin may be in for one
here in a matter of moments.

384
00:20:21,286 --> 00:20:23,021
That crucifix bomb.

385
00:20:23,222 --> 00:20:25,257
Now look who's in the driver's seat.

386
00:20:25,324 --> 00:20:28,160
[Book] That's in the eyes.
You look in the eyes of Gigi,

387
00:20:28,226 --> 00:20:30,229
it's a different Gigi here tonight.

388
00:20:30,295 --> 00:20:32,965
Like I say, this is a life
changing moment, Vic.

389
00:20:33,031 --> 00:20:36,935
All she needs to do is get to the top,
but that's a long way.

390
00:20:37,002 --> 00:20:40,372
[Vic] Valkyria performing
under these bright lights

391
00:20:40,439 --> 00:20:43,041
would love to add a piece
of gold to all the black feathers

392
00:20:43,108 --> 00:20:45,978
she has won in all the battles she
has been in.

393
00:20:47,412 --> 00:20:49,881
Down to Dolin. Down to Valkyria.

394
00:20:49,948 --> 00:20:54,653
Stark, right now, you saw her getting back
into the mix for a moment, right back in.

395
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:59,591
Valkyria realizing it and wiping out
the field, a little two for one special.

396
00:20:59,658 --> 00:21:02,327
[Book] These ladies want it, Vic.
Who wants it most?

397
00:21:02,394 --> 00:21:03,562
[Vic] It looks like it's Valkyria.

398
00:21:03,629 --> 00:21:05,230
[Book] Who wants it most?
That's the question.

399
00:21:05,297 --> 00:21:07,132
Who wants to most? She's there.

400
00:21:07,199 --> 00:21:09,334
[Vic] Hands on. Can she unclasp the gold?

401
00:21:10,235 --> 00:21:12,838
Dolin having run some
interference one more time.

402
00:21:15,107 --> 00:21:15,941
Booker.

403
00:21:16,008 --> 00:21:17,309
[Book] I don't like this.

404
00:21:21,346 --> 00:21:23,749
[Vic] Hung out to dry.
Valkyria can't move.

405
00:21:24,850 --> 00:21:27,119
Valkyria in a prone position.

406
00:21:27,185 --> 00:21:29,655
[Book] Gigi, she's so close
to changing her life, Vic.

407
00:21:29,721 --> 00:21:32,524
One more rung. Just one more
and you're there.

408
00:21:32,958 --> 00:21:34,693
[Vic] Yes, but look, Valkyria is the same.

409
00:21:34,760 --> 00:21:37,029
She's so close to changing
her life as well.

410
00:21:39,931 --> 00:21:42,634
Both women are at the top
looking for the title.

411
00:21:42,701 --> 00:21:44,136
Oh.

412
00:21:44,202 --> 00:21:46,004
[Book] My god, man.

413
00:21:48,940 --> 00:21:52,177
[Vic] Dolin realizing
there's a championship

414
00:21:53,045 --> 00:21:54,813
trying to grab--

415
00:21:58,450 --> 00:21:59,284
[Book] What the?

416
00:21:59,351 --> 00:22:01,820
Who? Jacy Jayne.

417
00:22:04,956 --> 00:22:08,126
This is my time. This is about me.

418
00:22:15,767 --> 00:22:18,136
[Vic] Jacy Jayne,

419
00:22:24,276 --> 00:22:27,446
picking her spot. She said she would.

420
00:22:28,113 --> 00:22:32,684
To come back and ruin
the moment for Gigi Dolin.

421
00:22:32,751 --> 00:22:37,689
[Crowd chants "you suck"]

422
00:22:38,190 --> 00:22:39,991
This is about me.

423
00:22:41,093 --> 00:22:43,829
[Vic] So proud of herself.

424
00:22:43,995 --> 00:22:47,366
Well, we got to keep focusing, Book,
because the match is at hand.

425
00:22:47,566 --> 00:22:50,836
It's Straton setting up
the ladder, starting to climb.

426
00:22:51,069 --> 00:22:53,038
Tiffany Stratton, the center
of the universe.

427
00:22:53,105 --> 00:22:55,040
[Booker T] She's moving quick.
Oh, she's there.

428
00:22:55,107 --> 00:22:57,843
May be just that in a--

429
00:23:10,489 --> 00:23:12,324
[Book] wow.

430
00:23:19,231 --> 00:23:20,399
[Vic] Book.

431
00:23:23,068 --> 00:23:26,438
[Book] Door just opened, Vic.
Indi needs to move.

432
00:23:26,505 --> 00:23:28,640
Indi needs to move quick.

433
00:23:28,707 --> 00:23:30,742
[Vic] The door's wide open,

434
00:23:35,013 --> 00:23:38,850
but so much has been taken out
of Indi Hartwell.

435
00:23:38,917 --> 00:23:41,219
So much has been taken out
of all these women.

436
00:23:41,286 --> 00:23:42,888
[Book] She better find a way, Vic.

437
00:23:42,954 --> 00:23:45,223
She better find a way
to climb that ladder.

438
00:23:45,290 --> 00:23:46,992
That ladder to success.

439
00:23:50,128 --> 00:23:52,864
[Vic] Championship hanging in the balance.

440
00:23:56,034 --> 00:23:58,837
Book, it's Dexter Lumis.

441
00:24:05,177 --> 00:24:07,145
It's Index.

442
00:24:07,212 --> 00:24:08,580
-[Book] Come on.
-[Vic] Yes.

443
00:24:08,647 --> 00:24:10,081
-[Book] This is not fair.
-[Vic] Climb.

444
00:24:10,148 --> 00:24:11,750
[Book] This is not fair, Vic.

445
00:24:11,817 --> 00:24:16,655
[Vic] Damn being fair.
This is Indi Hartwell's moment. Yes.

446
00:24:16,721 --> 00:24:18,423
[Bell rings]

447
00:24:19,391 --> 00:24:22,928
[man 2] Here is your winner and new

448
00:24:22,994 --> 00:24:29,167
NXT Women's Champion, Indi Hartwell.

449
00:24:30,001 --> 00:24:34,072
[Vic] Sexy Dexi here when
the wife needed him the most.

450
00:24:34,139 --> 00:24:35,273
[Book] Sexy Dexi.

451
00:24:35,340 --> 00:24:37,742
[Vic] Indi Hartwell is the new

452
00:24:37,809 --> 00:24:41,746
NXT Women's Champion.

453
00:24:41,813 --> 00:24:44,182
She's in disbelief.

454
00:24:44,249 --> 00:24:49,554
[Book] I don't approve, but I always said,
by any means necessary.

455
00:24:54,526 --> 00:24:58,530
[Vic] We can't forget, though,
Gigi Dolin was so close,

456
00:24:58,597 --> 00:25:04,569
if not for her toxic past meeting
her in the present.

457
00:25:04,636 --> 00:25:08,907
Tiffany Stratton was so close,
but then Tiffany tumbled

458
00:25:08,974 --> 00:25:14,112
from the top wiping out the field,
which then left one person,

459
00:25:14,179 --> 00:25:20,919
Indi Hartwell, with a little extra boost
from Dexter Lumis

460
00:25:21,386 --> 00:25:25,023
being able to climb the ladder to success.

461
00:25:25,090 --> 00:25:29,628
As you called it, and finally
after all the years,

462
00:25:29,694 --> 00:25:34,065
after all the battles, after all
the letdowns, after all the nos,

463
00:25:34,132 --> 00:25:40,939
Indi Hartwell sits a top
the NXT Women's Division in NXT.

464
00:25:48,580 --> 00:25:52,384
[man 2] It is Wrestlemania Saturday
and there you see the challenger

465
00:25:52,684 --> 00:25:58,256
the NXT Championship arriving earlier
today as confident as ever,

466
00:25:58,323 --> 00:26:02,294
but also the champion,
who always has a chip on his shoulder,

467
00:26:02,360 --> 00:26:06,164
main eventing his second
Stand and Deliver.

468
00:26:08,466 --> 00:26:11,403
[Vic] Book, moments ago we saw
a new champion crowned.

469
00:26:11,469 --> 00:26:14,906
Are we about to make
it two-for-two here in la?

470
00:26:15,607 --> 00:26:16,808
[Bell rings]

471
00:26:16,875 --> 00:26:19,544
[man 2] The following triple
threat match scheduled for one fall

472
00:26:19,611 --> 00:26:24,282
is for the NXT Tag Team Championship.

473
00:26:24,749 --> 00:26:28,987
Introducing the challengers, first,
accompanied by Ivy Nile,

474
00:26:29,621 --> 00:26:35,327
Julius and Brutus, the creed brothers.

475
00:26:35,593 --> 00:26:38,630
[Vic] It's about the NXT
Tag Team Championships.

476
00:26:38,697 --> 00:26:42,367
Of course, the creed brothers,
NXT Tag Team Champions before,

477
00:26:42,434 --> 00:26:45,503
certainly, Book, have refound
themselves in,

478
00:26:45,570 --> 00:26:49,407
say, thanks to Lvy Nile who's
accompanying them ringside.

479
00:26:49,474 --> 00:26:52,310
[Book] Yes. Brother. They're brothers.
They go through things.

480
00:26:52,377 --> 00:26:53,645
Go through ups and down.

481
00:26:53,712 --> 00:26:54,913
[Vic] Whoa, wait a minute, Book.
Look who's right behind us.

482
00:26:54,980 --> 00:26:55,814
[Book] Oh my goodness.

483
00:26:55,880 --> 00:26:56,848
[Vic] The UFC Hall of famer.

484
00:26:56,915 --> 00:26:57,749
[Book] What the hell?

485
00:26:57,816 --> 00:26:59,551
[Vic] The former UFC World Champion.

486
00:26:59,618 --> 00:27:00,518
[Booker T] No, hell no.

487
00:27:00,585 --> 00:27:01,586
[Vic] The number one fan
of the creed brothers,

488
00:27:01,653 --> 00:27:03,488
Daniel Cormier is here.

489
00:27:09,527 --> 00:27:12,263
I've never seen book so
starstruck before in my life.

490
00:27:12,330 --> 00:27:13,765
[Book] Man, I was about to do something.

491
00:27:13,832 --> 00:27:15,333
[Vic] What were you going to do?

492
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:16,668
[Book] Run to the dressing room.

493
00:27:19,871 --> 00:27:22,374
[Tony D'Angelo's music plays]

494
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:25,610
[Vic] Well, looks like Tony brought
some backup tonight.

495
00:27:27,212 --> 00:27:31,750
[man 2] Next, the team of Channing
''Stacks'' Lorenzo

496
00:27:31,916 --> 00:27:38,123
and "the Don of NXT " Tony D'Angelo.

497
00:27:38,189 --> 00:27:40,725
[Vic] Getting back into this.
This is only the second time

498
00:27:40,792 --> 00:27:43,395
these two have teamed together.

499
00:27:43,461 --> 00:27:46,297
Does that stand out to you in a triple
threat tag team match?

500
00:27:46,364 --> 00:27:48,733
[Book] These guys they're ultimate
friends.

501
00:27:48,800 --> 00:27:51,202
Look at how they treat each other.

502
00:27:51,269 --> 00:27:55,740
Stack's that security blanket
for D'Angelo.

503
00:27:56,141 --> 00:27:58,643
You've got to love
that kind of relationship.

504
00:27:59,711 --> 00:28:01,980
Family, Vic. This is family.

505
00:28:02,047 --> 00:28:04,816
[Vic] It certainly is.
You take a look at the Don,

506
00:28:04,883 --> 00:28:08,853
and mentioned family,
Stacks now the underboss.

507
00:28:08,920 --> 00:28:12,223
D'Angelo took his first step
to becoming the Don last here

508
00:28:13,692 --> 00:28:17,595
in Stand and Deliver when
he defeated Tommaso Ciampa.

509
00:28:17,662 --> 00:28:19,697
He doesn't win that match,
there may be no family.

510
00:28:19,764 --> 00:28:21,599
[Book] Yes, indeed. D'Angelo,
the Don of that click,

511
00:28:21,666 --> 00:28:24,736
and these guys are looking
to nail through that package.

512
00:28:27,972 --> 00:28:30,341
Time to show the world
who the Gallus boys are.

513
00:28:30,408 --> 00:28:33,178
Aye. Triple threat, anything goes. Aye.

514
00:28:34,312 --> 00:28:40,185
Now let's go defend our titles.
It's gallus boys on top.

515
00:28:42,420 --> 00:28:46,658
[Gallus boys' music plays]

516
00:28:55,166 --> 00:29:02,006
[man 2] Their opponents, they
are the NXT Tag Team Champions,

517
00:29:02,073 --> 00:29:06,311
Mark Coffey and Wolfgang, Gallus.

518
00:29:06,978 --> 00:29:09,481
[Vic] Triple threat rules,
they don't need to be factored

519
00:29:09,547 --> 00:29:12,317
in the decision, does Gallus,
to lose their titles.

520
00:29:12,383 --> 00:29:14,986
Even knowing that they told
McKenzie Mitchell

521
00:29:15,053 --> 00:29:18,590
on the Tuesday on NXT they're
confident hearing into this matchup.

522
00:29:18,656 --> 00:29:22,093
[Book] I like putting the paint
to the side.

523
00:29:22,160 --> 00:29:23,995
It's going to be time to get to the pulp,

524
00:29:24,062 --> 00:29:29,400
but it's time to take care of business.
I love these Gallus boys.

525
00:29:29,467 --> 00:29:31,703
[Vic] Book, two-time WWE hall of famer.

526
00:29:31,770 --> 00:29:34,305
One of those rings with your brother,
Stevie ray, Harlem heat,

527
00:29:34,372 --> 00:29:36,541
he and you have been tag-team
champions countless times.

528
00:29:36,608 --> 00:29:38,209
You have had to compete
under these sort of rules.

529
00:29:38,276 --> 00:29:40,578
What sort of prep goes
into that as champions?

530
00:29:40,645 --> 00:29:41,513
[Book] Oh, man.

531
00:29:41,579 --> 00:29:44,382
Vic, that's a really, really,
really good question.

532
00:29:44,449 --> 00:29:49,387
You got the Gallus boys who came
back after a long Hiatus

533
00:29:49,454 --> 00:29:51,523
and just snatched those
Tag Team Championships.

534
00:29:51,589 --> 00:29:54,192
All they got to do is just go out
there and stick to the plan,

535
00:29:54,259 --> 00:29:56,861
but then you've got the creed brothers
who's been going through ups and downs,

536
00:29:57,395 --> 00:29:59,264
but they are brothers to the bone.

537
00:29:59,330 --> 00:30:01,432
A win tonight, could definitely
put them right back in action.

538
00:30:01,499 --> 00:30:05,537
We look at D'Angelo and Stacks,
oh, my god.

539
00:30:06,638 --> 00:30:09,574
[Vic] All three of these teams who
bonded over the last few weeks--

540
00:30:09,641 --> 00:30:10,909
[Book] oh, yes.

541
00:30:10,975 --> 00:30:12,677
[Vic] This now match turning
into triple threat.

542
00:30:12,744 --> 00:30:14,412
I'm sure there's going to be
no friends in this matchup.

543
00:30:14,479 --> 00:30:17,949
I'm glad you said they're hiatus,
they were suspended,

544
00:30:18,383 --> 00:30:19,851
Book, they were suspended from the brand.

545
00:30:19,918 --> 00:30:21,052
[Book] Same thing.

546
00:30:21,119 --> 00:30:23,721
He wasn't around that.
They weren't around for months on end.

547
00:30:23,788 --> 00:30:27,192
Then come back and snatch those
championships from the new day.

548
00:30:27,258 --> 00:30:29,861
A tag team that's very,
very highly touted.

549
00:30:29,928 --> 00:30:32,397
[Vic] Look at these quick tags
being made by all these teams

550
00:30:32,463 --> 00:30:33,998
trying to get the advantage
in this matchup.

551
00:30:34,065 --> 00:30:36,267
It's now Stacks. That's Julius Creed.

552
00:30:36,334 --> 00:30:40,238
Nice take down from former acc standout
and breaking up the cover is Mark Coffey.

553
00:30:40,772 --> 00:30:45,777
Again, Gallus does not need
to be factored in this matchup--

554
00:30:45,843 --> 00:30:48,246
-[Vic] To lose their gold.
-[Book] Two on one.

555
00:30:48,313 --> 00:30:51,816
I'm going to take the two every day
of the week inside cradle, shoulders down.

556
00:30:51,883 --> 00:30:52,717
[Book] Beautiful.

557
00:30:52,784 --> 00:30:53,985
[Vic] Shifting his weight
just a little bit.

558
00:30:54,419 --> 00:30:57,355
Oh, you talk about weights,
you talk about going to the weight room.

559
00:30:57,689 --> 00:30:59,324
Look at Julius creed.

560
00:31:00,191 --> 00:31:03,828
Big slam, and they put in some extra work
in the dojo, and there comes D'Angelo.

561
00:31:04,495 --> 00:31:05,897
[Book] I like everything
about the creed brothers.

562
00:31:05,964 --> 00:31:09,834
Like I said a win tonight could
get these guys right back on track.

563
00:31:09,901 --> 00:31:12,403
Hey, that's what everybody
is looking for here.

564
00:31:12,937 --> 00:31:13,972
[Vic] Wrestlemania weekend.

565
00:31:14,038 --> 00:31:15,073
[Book] Oh, yes.

566
00:31:15,139 --> 00:31:16,140
[Vic] Look at Stacks D''Angelo,
the family,

567
00:31:16,674 --> 00:31:19,444
the boss, the underboss on the same page.

568
00:31:19,510 --> 00:31:22,013
Of course, D'Angelo has been-- oh.

569
00:31:22,080 --> 00:31:24,415
[Book] My god, look at the strength
from D'Angelo.

570
00:31:24,949 --> 00:31:27,218
That's power Vic. That's what that is.

571
00:31:27,285 --> 00:31:28,720
[Vic] He's been looking for gold,
the family.

572
00:31:28,786 --> 00:31:31,189
Has been looking for gold
for quite some time

573
00:31:31,422 --> 00:31:33,258
and they could finally
win it here tonight.

574
00:31:33,324 --> 00:31:34,792
[Book] Just need to stay focused.

575
00:31:35,126 --> 00:31:38,596
Got to have tunnel vision,
got to put those blinders

576
00:31:38,663 --> 00:31:40,465
on in the matchup like this, Vic.

577
00:31:40,531 --> 00:31:43,801
[Vic] You talk about the fam,
they too have been putting in the work.

578
00:31:43,868 --> 00:31:46,971
Tagging, this is only the second time
they've ever worked together.

579
00:31:47,038 --> 00:31:50,775
Look at the offense, look at the strategy,
working together like a well-oiled unit.

580
00:31:50,842 --> 00:31:54,746
Now some of this action spilling
a little bit too close to us.

581
00:31:54,812 --> 00:31:56,080
[Book] Oh, whoa. Wow.

582
00:31:56,147 --> 00:31:57,282
Come on, guys.

583
00:31:59,050 --> 00:32:02,487
Comes the straps.
The straps just came down, Vic.

584
00:32:02,553 --> 00:32:03,721
[Vic] You talk about the creed brothers.

585
00:32:03,788 --> 00:32:06,257
They also competed at Stand
and Deliver a year ago.

586
00:32:06,324 --> 00:32:08,793
How have they grown
in your eyes as a team?

587
00:32:08,860 --> 00:32:09,694
[Book] No, I look at these guys.

588
00:32:09,761 --> 00:32:12,196
First time I met them,
I say these are two guys

589
00:32:12,263 --> 00:32:15,533
that are big guys and definitely
knows the game

590
00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:19,237
as far as mat technique,
precision tacticians.

591
00:32:19,304 --> 00:32:20,672
[Vic] Talk about precision.

592
00:32:20,738 --> 00:32:21,839
[Book] As well as look at the strength.

593
00:32:21,906 --> 00:32:23,875
The power game is definitely there, Vic.

594
00:32:23,942 --> 00:32:27,612
[Vic] We said they're
putting extra work in the dojo,

595
00:32:27,845 --> 00:32:29,447
getting a little love from DC.

596
00:32:29,881 --> 00:32:33,217
[Book] I don't like this,
being distracted for a second.

597
00:32:33,284 --> 00:32:36,888
We don't need no outside coaching
or anything like that.

598
00:32:36,955 --> 00:32:39,257
We don't need no outside coaching

599
00:32:39,324 --> 00:32:40,458
[Book] From DC.

600
00:32:40,525 --> 00:32:43,094
[Vic] DC could be the guy
that helps him a little bit,

601
00:32:43,161 --> 00:32:44,362
fires him up a little bit more.

602
00:32:44,429 --> 00:32:45,396
[Book] Or he could be the guy
that make them

603
00:32:45,463 --> 00:32:47,231
lose it all in a matchup like this.

604
00:32:47,765 --> 00:32:49,133
Not being focused.

605
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:51,169
[Vic] Look at Brutus, big Brutus

606
00:32:51,235 --> 00:32:53,371
tossed around D'Angelo,
but bright from behind.

607
00:32:53,438 --> 00:32:55,006
Quickly now Mark Coffey.

608
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:59,043
Again, Coffey-- uh-oh Mark Coffey
right now just getting planted.

609
00:33:01,813 --> 00:33:04,048
Mark Coffey, Wolfgang, they got to stay
on their toes in this matchup.

610
00:33:04,115 --> 00:33:05,416
You've seen that a little bit.

611
00:33:05,717 --> 00:33:10,121
[Book] Brutus is a strong individual,
and right there,

612
00:33:10,188 --> 00:33:12,490
Mark Coffey got caught in the wrong place
at the wrong time.

613
00:33:12,557 --> 00:33:15,093
[Vic] What is Brutus thinking about?

614
00:33:15,159 --> 00:33:17,695
Brutus got caught, and now Coffey turning
things around in this matchup,

615
00:33:17,762 --> 00:33:20,865
and quickly now Wolf Gang getting back up.

616
00:33:20,932 --> 00:33:23,234
Gallus taking control which is what
they need to do.

617
00:33:23,301 --> 00:33:24,902
[Book] Nothing pretty about these
Gallus boys' techniques, Vic.

618
00:33:24,969 --> 00:33:26,104
They're brawlers.

619
00:33:26,170 --> 00:33:27,772
[Vic] They are brawlers.

620
00:33:27,839 --> 00:33:30,074
[Book] They're going to go out there
and use those brawling techniques

621
00:33:30,141 --> 00:33:31,943
to get a victory just like they did
to win those tag team championships.

622
00:33:32,010 --> 00:33:32,877
Oh, yes.

623
00:33:33,277 --> 00:33:35,113
[Vic] They love a good scrap.

624
00:33:35,179 --> 00:33:36,781
Right now, Wolfgang, Coffey have isolated

625
00:33:36,848 --> 00:33:42,020
both Brutus and Tony D'Angelo
in this moment.

626
00:33:42,086 --> 00:33:43,654
You talk about changing complexion
of the matchup.

627
00:33:43,721 --> 00:33:45,156
Gallus has just done that.

628
00:33:45,223 --> 00:33:47,825
A quick kick out there by D'Angelo at one.

629
00:33:47,892 --> 00:33:50,495
[Book] Gallus boys thinking about
the pulp, they're thinking about

630
00:33:50,561 --> 00:33:54,899
getting a paint and they need to get
thing over with to get that done, Vic.

631
00:33:54,966 --> 00:33:58,736
[Vic] We talk about the pub,
we talk about where they love to be.

632
00:33:58,803 --> 00:34:00,638
They love to fight and they're right
in their environment

633
00:34:00,705 --> 00:34:06,310
in this matchup, and slugging it out
now Wolfgang and D'Angelo.

634
00:34:06,377 --> 00:34:07,645
Standing toe-to-toe with one another.

635
00:34:07,712 --> 00:34:09,147
[Book] Talk about the preparation
in this matchup.

636
00:34:09,213 --> 00:34:11,115
We're in la, we're not in big bear.

637
00:34:11,182 --> 00:34:13,451
We don't have to worry about
the aptitude or anything like that,

638
00:34:13,518 --> 00:34:15,319
but these guys got to worry about
their conditioning

639
00:34:15,386 --> 00:34:16,621
because it's going to be a long night.

640
00:34:16,687 --> 00:34:17,522
Oh, yes.

641
00:34:17,588 --> 00:34:18,990
[Vic] Talk about a long night.

642
00:34:19,056 --> 00:34:22,860
That's okay with Julius who
now is just tossing bodies.

643
00:34:22,927 --> 00:34:26,464
Everyone he sees multitude of suplexes.

644
00:34:26,531 --> 00:34:30,635
The creed brothers both
have admitted as amateurs

645
00:34:30,701 --> 00:34:31,569
[Book] whoa. Yes.

646
00:34:31,636 --> 00:34:33,671
[Vic] They saw their biggest growth
from year one to year two,

647
00:34:33,738 --> 00:34:36,340
and they're entering year two
here tonight.

648
00:34:36,407 --> 00:34:39,210
[Book] Let me tell you something.

649
00:34:39,644 --> 00:34:41,212
Julius creed got this crowd on fire,
decibel level is high.

650
00:34:41,279 --> 00:34:43,281
[Vic] Oh, nice sharp elbow.

651
00:34:43,347 --> 00:34:48,119
Tag was made, and back in comes Stacks.

652
00:34:48,186 --> 00:34:52,957
Stacks picking up a little bit of momentum
and, oh, just ran over Julius.

653
00:34:53,024 --> 00:34:56,561
Right back in, and now look at Stacks,
took out Wolfgang, took out Julius.

654
00:34:56,627 --> 00:34:59,063
[Book] It's that package I'm talking
about, Stacks is looking to deliver.

655
00:34:59,130 --> 00:35:02,600
Oh, yes, he's on fire.

656
00:35:02,667 --> 00:35:04,802
[Vic] Look, the underboss
had a little extra pep in his step

657
00:35:04,869 --> 00:35:07,939
since he's been gifted that D'Angelo
family cross

658
00:35:08,005 --> 00:35:12,410
and that pep in his step has come
to Los Angeles.

659
00:35:12,477 --> 00:35:14,612
High crossbody getting right back
into the cover.

660
00:35:14,679 --> 00:35:16,914
Hook of the leg, and a near fall.

661
00:35:16,981 --> 00:35:18,216
You got to, Book, did you see
on the high crossbody

662
00:35:18,282 --> 00:35:19,784
he bounced off for just a moment?

663
00:35:19,851 --> 00:35:21,219
Had to get right back on?

664
00:35:21,586 --> 00:35:24,388
If he would've fully connected, D'Angelo
could be tag team champions right now,

665
00:35:24,455 --> 00:35:28,626
[Book] not just fully connected,
grab that back leg at the same time, Vic.

666
00:35:28,693 --> 00:35:30,561
Definitely could have been
New Tag Team Champions right there.

667
00:35:30,628 --> 00:35:33,598
Right now, the strength of Julius
creed trying to come into play.

668
00:35:33,664 --> 00:35:34,899
Oh.

669
00:35:34,966 --> 00:35:35,900
[Vic] We talk about strength.

670
00:35:35,967 --> 00:35:39,470
[Book] Oh, I don't like this, Vic.

671
00:35:39,537 --> 00:35:41,672
[Vic] Oh, you can say that one more time.

672
00:35:41,739 --> 00:35:44,675
What? No way.

673
00:35:44,742 --> 00:35:46,644
No way. Double dooms day

674
00:35:46,711 --> 00:35:53,184
[Book] he's not going to do it.

675
00:35:53,251 --> 00:35:54,418
[Vic] Brutus didn't get all
of it, but I think

676
00:35:54,485 --> 00:35:59,924
he got just enough
to knock that tower down.

677
00:35:59,991 --> 00:36:00,992
Unreal

678
00:36:01,058 --> 00:36:02,994
[Book] Wow.

679
00:36:03,060 --> 00:36:05,463
[Vic] Action in this triple threat match.

680
00:36:05,530 --> 00:36:08,599
It only takes a little bit, Book.

681
00:36:08,933 --> 00:36:09,967
When you're that, did you see
the strength again

682
00:36:10,034 --> 00:36:10,935
[Book] I'll tell you.

683
00:36:11,002 --> 00:36:11,903
[Vic] Of Julius?

684
00:36:11,969 --> 00:36:14,071
[Book] Right now, Vic.

685
00:36:14,138 --> 00:36:15,439
We're at that stage of the match when
we're throwing caution to the wind.

686
00:36:15,506 --> 00:36:17,074
[Vic] You got to, though, right?

687
00:36:17,141 --> 00:36:19,844
[Book] It's not going to be about
technique or anything like that.

688
00:36:19,911 --> 00:36:22,446
It's not going to be about x's and o's
or anything like that.

689
00:36:22,513 --> 00:36:24,282
It's going to be about the will
and determination of who wants it most.

690
00:36:24,348 --> 00:36:27,852
[Vic] What'd you say earlier?
Who's willing to do what it takes to win.

691
00:36:27,919 --> 00:36:31,289
[Book] I've said that from day one,
by any means necessary.

692
00:36:31,355 --> 00:36:32,890
[Vic] Julius now all by himself
getting Stacks back in to the ring.

693
00:36:32,957 --> 00:36:35,560
Again, this is what we have to remember,
right now,

694
00:36:35,626 --> 00:36:37,461
to Creeds are in the driver's seat.

695
00:36:37,528 --> 00:36:39,997
Now look at D'Angelo from behind.

696
00:36:41,165 --> 00:36:44,368
Wolfgang, Mark Coffey don't need
to be factored

697
00:36:44,435 --> 00:36:48,873
in the decision to lose the titles
tonight. The D'Angelos.

698
00:36:48,940 --> 00:36:51,175
[Book] D'Angelo just took advantage
of that situation.

699
00:36:51,609 --> 00:36:54,612
Right now, we may have new
Tag team champions.

700
00:36:54,679 --> 00:36:56,414
Get the cover. Here we go, here we go.

701
00:36:56,480 --> 00:36:58,983
Whoa, wow.

702
00:36:59,550 --> 00:37:02,186
[Vic] Wolfgang and Mark
from the other side

703
00:37:02,253 --> 00:37:03,921
able to break up the fall.

704
00:37:03,988 --> 00:37:06,257
Now Tony D'Angelo "the Don"

705
00:37:06,324 --> 00:37:08,259
planning center of the ring,
but Stacks is legal.

706
00:37:08,492 --> 00:37:09,894
Tony realizes that.

707
00:37:09,961 --> 00:37:12,663
Drags Stacks up over Mark Coffey to win,

708
00:37:12,730 --> 00:37:17,168
and Wolfgang just overpowered the Don.
Whoa.

709
00:37:18,269 --> 00:37:20,471
[Book] Tony D'Angelo is doing
everything he possibly

710
00:37:20,538 --> 00:37:24,775
can to walk away New Tag Team Champion
here tonight, Vic.

711
00:37:26,410 --> 00:37:28,346
[Vic] Badda bing, badda boom.

712
00:37:28,412 --> 00:37:29,947
[Book] That's got to be it right there.

713
00:37:30,014 --> 00:37:31,949
You got to get the cover. He's moving.

714
00:37:32,016 --> 00:37:32,917
[Vic] Look at Stacks.

715
00:37:32,984 --> 00:37:36,487
Stacks realizing it,
covering, counting, going in.

716
00:37:39,123 --> 00:37:44,362
Joe Coffey. No way. Mark Coffey's brother

717
00:37:44,428 --> 00:37:45,930
[Vic] Joe Coffey?

718
00:37:45,997 --> 00:37:50,134
Oh, was looking to clean
the clock of Stacks.

719
00:37:50,201 --> 00:37:52,436
D'Angelo sacrificed himself.

720
00:37:52,503 --> 00:37:53,804
[Book] Wait a minute. Fill me in, Vic.
What the hell is going on here?

721
00:37:53,871 --> 00:37:55,840
[Vic] Joe Coffey is brother
of Mark Coffey.

722
00:37:55,906 --> 00:37:59,543
Gallus is complete.
This is why they were so damn confident.

723
00:38:01,212 --> 00:38:02,546
Not like this.

724
00:38:02,613 --> 00:38:03,547
Bam.

725
00:38:03,614 --> 00:38:05,116
[Book] Oh, wow.

726
00:38:06,951 --> 00:38:08,252
[Vic] Cover.

727
00:38:08,319 --> 00:38:09,353
One, two, three.

728
00:38:09,420 --> 00:38:11,656
[Vic] Gallus retains the titles.

729
00:38:12,089 --> 00:38:13,524
[Gallus' music plays]

730
00:38:13,591 --> 00:38:15,192
[man 2] Here are your winners and still

731
00:38:15,459 --> 00:38:21,032
the NXT Tag Team Champions, Gallus.

732
00:38:21,699 --> 00:38:24,535
[Vic] Ace in the hole, Book

733
00:38:25,736 --> 00:38:26,737
[Book] you damn right.

734
00:38:26,804 --> 00:38:28,839
[Vic] Of Wolfgang and Mark Coffey.

735
00:38:32,843 --> 00:38:37,948
[Book] Tony D' Angelo, Stacks,
the family they brought in here tonight.

736
00:38:38,115 --> 00:38:41,419
Look at all the risk.
Almost got all the reward.

737
00:38:41,719 --> 00:38:43,721
Big splash, near fall.

738
00:38:43,788 --> 00:38:47,725
They were rocking, they were rolling,
but right here, the turning point.

739
00:38:48,059 --> 00:38:54,131
Joe Coffey's reemergence
in NXT and then, bam,

740
00:38:54,365 --> 00:39:01,205
D'Angelo took the bullet, sacrificed
himself for Stacks, but it wouldn't matter

741
00:39:01,372 --> 00:39:07,878
because, in the end, Stacks felt Gallus
and Gallus retains the titles.

742
00:39:08,245 --> 00:39:13,317
The kingdom is whole once again.
Gallus boys on top.

743
00:39:13,384 --> 00:39:16,954
Gallus stronger than ever.

744
00:39:20,958 --> 00:39:23,828
[Man 2] There is Johnny Gargano.

745
00:39:23,894 --> 00:39:28,065
16 months of frustration and build up.

746
00:39:28,132 --> 00:39:31,502
Gargano immensely preparing
for the unsanctioned match

747
00:39:31,569 --> 00:39:33,270
later tonight against Grayson Waller.

748
00:39:33,337 --> 00:39:36,374
Right now our hosts of Stand and Deliver,
pretty deadly.

749
00:39:39,443 --> 00:39:41,412
What a wild day already, kit.

750
00:39:41,479 --> 00:39:43,581
Indeed, Elton. Those death defying feats

751
00:39:43,647 --> 00:39:45,649
in the NXT
Women's Championship ladder match.

752
00:39:45,716 --> 00:39:46,550
Wow.

753
00:39:46,617 --> 00:39:48,419
A new champion in Indi Hartwell.

754
00:39:48,486 --> 00:39:50,721
Double wow. Who would've
had their money on her?

755
00:39:51,222 --> 00:39:54,058
I suppose we should mention
that it's still

756
00:39:54,825 --> 00:39:56,761
Gallus boys. I gag.

757
00:39:57,495 --> 00:40:01,165
No, I can't. Move on, move on, move on.

758
00:40:01,999 --> 00:40:06,537
We are outside of the locker room
of the NXT Champion, Bron Breakker.

759
00:40:06,871 --> 00:40:09,907
We're about to find out what's behind
the mind of Mr. Breakker

760
00:40:09,974 --> 00:40:13,477
before heading into arguably
the biggest match in NXT history.

761
00:40:13,844 --> 00:40:14,912
Elton.

762
00:40:16,814 --> 00:40:18,082
Yes, I'll do it.

763
00:40:21,752 --> 00:40:24,789
-I really think you should do it, though.
-Me?

764
00:40:26,957 --> 00:40:29,760
Last time we saw him,
he speared us in half.

765
00:40:29,827 --> 00:40:32,897
I don't want to interrupt
him when he's in the zone.

766
00:40:33,364 --> 00:40:35,266
That's the right call.

767
00:40:35,433 --> 00:40:39,036
Well, on second thoughts, actually,
we're going to give the chap his space.

768
00:40:39,103 --> 00:40:42,239
I'm sure he's prepared and ready to go.
Back to you, Booker and Vic.

769
00:40:43,974 --> 00:40:45,442
[Vic] Well, thank you very much,
pretty deadly.

770
00:40:45,509 --> 00:40:49,980
Coming up next, Wes Lee's open challenge
has come to Los Angeles.

771
00:40:50,047 --> 00:40:52,917
He has handpicked the field,
but can the cardiac kid

772
00:40:52,983 --> 00:40:55,553
overcome the odds once again today?

773
00:40:57,822 --> 00:41:00,691
Oh, yes.

774
00:41:00,891 --> 00:41:04,028
[Crowd chants "Wes Lee"]

775
00:41:04,295 --> 00:41:09,066
[Wes Lee] When the people chant my name
I feel I can overcome anything and anyone.

776
00:41:09,133 --> 00:41:16,106
[Music]

777
00:41:21,178 --> 00:41:24,648
He doesn't understand the impact
that he has on people.

778
00:41:24,715 --> 00:41:29,787
He really, impactful, and he cares
so much for people and their success.

779
00:41:29,854 --> 00:41:34,358
I just want to see him be successful too.

780
00:41:34,825 --> 00:41:38,996
[Wes Lee] All the ups and downs,
the sacrifices, the risks,

781
00:41:39,063 --> 00:41:42,333
all of them have culminated
by getting me here.

782
00:41:42,399 --> 00:41:48,305
I bust my -- everyday that I'm out here.

783
00:41:48,372 --> 00:41:51,442
I'm the new standard as the NXT North
American Champion.

784
00:41:51,509 --> 00:41:57,281
I will risk everything to keep it.

785
00:42:00,451 --> 00:42:05,489
[Vic] It is open season for the NXT
North American Championship.

786
00:42:05,556 --> 00:42:07,892
Who's stepping up?

787
00:42:07,958 --> 00:42:10,127
[Book] Everybody want a shot.

788
00:42:10,194 --> 00:42:12,496
[Vic] You can't blame them,
it's an open challenge.

789
00:42:12,563 --> 00:42:15,065
Who's it going to be?

790
00:42:15,533 --> 00:42:19,036
Honestly, you got to love all
the commotion that's going on around here.

791
00:42:19,103 --> 00:42:21,238
All the chaos, the madness.

792
00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:25,676
These open challenges are killing us.
It's chaos every week, man.

793
00:42:25,743 --> 00:42:28,612
[Vic] This situation is absolutely
unpredictable.

794
00:42:28,679 --> 00:42:30,915
I have to prove myself,
and you more than anyone

795
00:42:30,981 --> 00:42:33,384
should understand what I'm going through.

796
00:42:33,450 --> 00:42:37,121
Four guys, we'll make it a fatal 5-way.
Stand and Deliver, all right?

797
00:42:37,187 --> 00:42:40,424
You pick the four. We got a deal?

798
00:42:41,692 --> 00:42:44,094
Shawn Michaels gave me four spots.

799
00:42:44,161 --> 00:42:47,531
[Vic] It's Dragon Lee.
One of the newest signings.

800
00:42:47,598 --> 00:42:49,967
You got the first spot.
I'll see you in la.

801
00:42:51,468 --> 00:42:55,639
[Vic] JD has been in my face,
and I am sick and tired of him.

802
00:42:56,106 --> 00:42:57,808
[Book] Oh, what a cheap shot.

803
00:42:57,875 --> 00:42:59,109
[Vic] He's got the second spot.

804
00:43:00,611 --> 00:43:01,578
[Book] Ilja Dragunov.

805
00:43:02,112 --> 00:43:04,682
[Vic] Ilja is known as Europe's finest.

806
00:43:04,748 --> 00:43:07,885
Only one way to put that to the test.
He's got the third now.

807
00:43:09,420 --> 00:43:13,490
[Book] 20 superstars in this mover the top
rope battle royal.

808
00:43:14,325 --> 00:43:16,694
Who's going to earn the fifth
and final spot?

809
00:43:19,964 --> 00:43:21,665
[Bell rings]

810
00:43:21,732 --> 00:43:23,901
[Book] Axiom is headed
to Stand and Deliver.

811
00:43:25,269 --> 00:43:31,041
[Vic] If you are in my way, I am
going around, through, or over you.

812
00:43:33,410 --> 00:43:37,815
[Booker T] Which of these five will
have their golden moment in Los Angeles?

813
00:43:40,684 --> 00:43:46,190
[Ilja Dragunov's music plays]

814
00:43:47,958 --> 00:43:49,593
[Bell rings]

815
00:43:49,660 --> 00:43:51,695
[man 2] The following contest
is an open challenge

816
00:43:51,762 --> 00:43:55,833
for the NXT North American championship.

817
00:43:56,467 --> 00:44:00,638
Introducing first, Ilja Dragunov.

818
00:44:01,238 --> 00:44:04,074
[Vic] Well, book, get ready for the chaos.

819
00:44:04,141 --> 00:44:05,809
I want to bring this to your attention.

820
00:44:05,876 --> 00:44:09,713
The vile internal feeling that Dragunov
and JD Mc Donagh

821
00:44:09,780 --> 00:44:12,182
for one another, do you think
that they're going to be able

822
00:44:12,249 --> 00:44:17,254
to put those feelings aside for their own
individual gain here tonight?

823
00:44:17,321 --> 00:44:20,057
[Booker T] Yo, Vic, that's a blood feud.

824
00:44:20,124 --> 00:44:22,960
That's a personal beef
that these guys have.

825
00:44:23,027 --> 00:44:25,696
They're going to have to settle
it one time or another,

826
00:44:25,763 --> 00:44:31,468
but those two, that's something. I really
don't even know how to explain it.

827
00:44:31,535 --> 00:44:35,472
It's going to happen tonight,
but they should put it aside

828
00:44:35,539 --> 00:44:38,909
because it's a greater thing,
and that's their championship.

829
00:44:39,443 --> 00:44:45,649
[Axiom's music plays]

830
00:45:01,231 --> 00:45:04,101
[woman 1] Next, Axiom.

831
00:45:05,135 --> 00:45:09,373
[Vic] It's very easy for axiom.
He is tired of being looked down upon.

832
00:45:09,440 --> 00:45:12,142
He has said it time and time again
for those that maybe

833
00:45:12,209 --> 00:45:15,279
have overlooked him, or thought
that they were better than he was.

834
00:45:15,345 --> 00:45:18,315
He has been eyeing
the North American Championship

835
00:45:18,382 --> 00:45:22,619
for some time,
and now the spotlight is on him.

836
00:45:22,686 --> 00:45:25,756
This kid is major, major talented.

837
00:45:25,823 --> 00:45:30,694
He is the Matrix.
He's a guy that's special, Vic.

838
00:45:30,761 --> 00:45:32,830
They say, if this kid can win
the championship,

839
00:45:32,896 --> 00:45:35,099
it will make him 30% better.

840
00:45:35,165 --> 00:45:36,867
They say that about this championship.

841
00:45:36,934 --> 00:45:40,604
If this kid can get 30% better,
can you imagine?

842
00:45:40,671 --> 00:45:42,272
Can you imagine, Vic?

843
00:45:42,439 --> 00:45:46,844
[Vic] I can imagine anything Axiom
believes he can do, he can accomplish.

844
00:45:46,910 --> 00:45:50,414
Can he finally accomplish his goal
of becoming

845
00:45:50,948 --> 00:45:54,284
North American
Champion here in Los Angeles?

846
00:45:55,219 --> 00:46:01,291
[Jd McDonagh's music plays]

847
00:46:04,995 --> 00:46:11,101
[man 2] JD McDonagh.

848
00:46:25,282 --> 00:46:26,683
[Vic] You take a look at the eyes.

849
00:46:26,750 --> 00:46:27,851
You keep mentioning that tonight.

850
00:46:27,918 --> 00:46:30,254
Talking about the eyes of JD Mc Donagh.

851
00:46:30,320 --> 00:46:33,857
Is it hard for you to be against
the Irish ace?

852
00:46:34,024 --> 00:46:35,659
You always speak very highly of him.

853
00:46:35,726 --> 00:46:39,596
[Book] No, this guy has a residency
inside my fave five.

854
00:46:39,663 --> 00:46:43,734
You can tell what's on his mind,
and that's Dragunov.

855
00:46:43,801 --> 00:46:46,303
He's going to have to put that aside.

856
00:46:46,370 --> 00:46:49,306
It's about a greater good tonight, Vic.

857
00:46:49,373 --> 00:46:51,875
It's about that championship.

858
00:46:51,942 --> 00:46:53,644
[Vic] Book, you look in the eyes.

859
00:46:53,710 --> 00:46:55,445
[Book] He's laser focused, man.

860
00:46:55,512 --> 00:46:57,915
[Vic] Mc Donagh hasn't taken
his eyes off Dragunov.

861
00:46:57,981 --> 00:47:04,955
[Dragon Lee's music plays]

862
00:47:36,920 --> 00:47:41,692
[woman 1] Making his way to the ring,
Dragon Lee.

863
00:47:41,758 --> 00:47:45,495
[Vic] Dragon Lee,
the highly touted international superstar,

864
00:47:45,562 --> 00:47:48,966
received the first spot in this match,
and you can see just why.

865
00:47:49,032 --> 00:47:52,169
Cameras are out. Spotlight on him.

866
00:47:52,236 --> 00:47:57,908
The international success hasn't prepared
him for the spotlight of NXT in WWE.

867
00:47:57,975 --> 00:48:00,377
[Vic] I'm going to tell you right
now, he just passed the airport test.

868
00:48:00,444 --> 00:48:02,546
Who is this guy? He's somebody.

869
00:48:02,613 --> 00:48:07,084
Oh, my god, that walk told me
a whole lot about Dragon Lee.

870
00:48:07,150 --> 00:48:11,755
[Wes Lee's music plays]

871
00:48:12,723 --> 00:48:14,791
[man 2] Their opponent,

872
00:48:14,858 --> 00:48:20,631
he is the NXT North American champion,

873
00:48:20,697 --> 00:48:23,433
Wes Lee.

874
00:48:23,967 --> 00:48:27,771
[Vic] From a rascal to an after thought
to a champion.

875
00:48:27,838 --> 00:48:31,708
In your hall of fame opinion,
is Wes Lee the epidemy of a fighter?

876
00:48:31,975 --> 00:48:38,148
[Book] Another young kid. Once upon
a time he was very, very Braggadociouso,

877
00:48:38,215 --> 00:48:40,183
but he went out there and backed it up.

878
00:48:40,250 --> 00:48:42,986
That's this kid, Wes Lee.
That's the guy that I'm talking about.

879
00:48:43,053 --> 00:48:47,157
He coined the phrase, float like
a butterfly, sting like a bee.

880
00:48:47,224 --> 00:48:49,760
I'm going to tell you,
that's high praise for this kid.

881
00:48:49,826 --> 00:48:53,230
We're talking about Muhammad Ali,
and Wes Lee.

882
00:48:53,297 --> 00:48:55,432
Oh my god, man.

883
00:48:55,499 --> 00:48:57,968
[Vic] Someone called Lee lucky,
but he has leveraged

884
00:48:58,035 --> 00:48:59,436
the adversity and the success.

885
00:48:59,503 --> 00:49:03,840
He's made some bold moves,
but trusts his skill to succeed.

886
00:49:03,907 --> 00:49:08,712
One of those bold moves,
handpicking the four superstars

887
00:49:08,779 --> 00:49:13,951
that are in yet another North American
Championship open challenge match.

888
00:49:14,017 --> 00:49:16,787
He has single-handedly created chaos

889
00:49:16,853 --> 00:49:19,389
throughout the locker room
for the NXT crown

890
00:49:19,556 --> 00:49:21,692
[Book] Yes, but he's going
to have to go out

891
00:49:21,758 --> 00:49:23,994
here and top four of the best talent.

892
00:49:24,061 --> 00:49:27,597
In this business here tonight
in this 5-way matchup

893
00:49:27,664 --> 00:49:30,067
for that North American Championship.

894
00:49:30,133 --> 00:49:32,602
Let's see how this thing plays out.

895
00:49:39,977 --> 00:49:41,611
Flip a coin. I don't care.

896
00:49:41,678 --> 00:49:43,280
[Vic] I think Wes Lee realizing
what we all realized,

897
00:49:43,814 --> 00:49:47,684
that Dragunov and McDonagh
have to take it out on each other.

898
00:49:47,751 --> 00:49:49,453
You talk about the airport test.

899
00:49:49,519 --> 00:49:51,021
Dragon Lee just walked up
to the baddest man

900
00:49:51,088 --> 00:49:52,356
in the matchup and punched him
in the mouth.

901
00:49:52,422 --> 00:49:55,225
[Book] Like I said, the report card
is still out for this kid,

902
00:49:55,292 --> 00:49:57,928
Dragon Lee, as far as I'm concerned,
but tonight he's got

903
00:49:57,995 --> 00:50:00,464
a chance to show me
everything I need to know.

904
00:50:00,530 --> 00:50:04,701
[Vic] This is the match that could steal
the weekend here in Los Angeles.

905
00:50:05,569 --> 00:50:07,404
I asked you earlier in the ladder match,

906
00:50:07,471 --> 00:50:10,707
but is there any strategy in this matchup?
It's one fault to a finish.

907
00:50:10,774 --> 00:50:12,976
[Book] So much energy
in this matchup right here.

908
00:50:13,176 --> 00:50:17,381
Like I said, you got
to talk about live wires.

909
00:50:17,447 --> 00:50:20,917
We got about. Five of them right
here tonight in this matchup, Vic.

910
00:50:20,984 --> 00:50:22,419
[Vic] Right now going back
and look at Axiom,

911
00:50:22,486 --> 00:50:27,391
who wanted this matchup, wanted
this opportunity has wanted this title.

912
00:50:27,457 --> 00:50:30,293
[Book] Look do-si-do action right there.

913
00:50:30,360 --> 00:50:32,929
Everybody's looking for that. That one up.

914
00:50:34,431 --> 00:50:36,266
[Vic] Ooh.

915
00:50:37,134 --> 00:50:41,338
[Book] Talk about laying this kid.
Oh, yes.

916
00:50:41,405 --> 00:50:43,840
Put some hot sauce on that, Vic.

917
00:50:45,208 --> 00:50:47,244
[Vic] I was going to ask you who
is going to be able

918
00:50:47,310 --> 00:50:51,248
to establish dominance up front,
but I believe we realize--

919
00:50:51,314 --> 00:50:54,151
[Book ] oh, it's going to kick
off really, Vic.

920
00:50:54,217 --> 00:50:57,788
Like I say, this is a blood feud.
It's going to come down to it.

921
00:50:57,854 --> 00:51:00,057
Let's get it all.

922
00:51:00,123 --> 00:51:02,259
[Vic ] Hey, Dragon Lee from behind,
and again,

923
00:51:02,325 --> 00:51:04,861
Dragon Lee right in there with
JD Mc Donagh.

924
00:51:04,928 --> 00:51:07,030
In this sort of match,
you see how quick this pace is.

925
00:51:07,097 --> 00:51:09,399
Do you chase the fight or should
you let the fight come to you?

926
00:51:09,466 --> 00:51:10,867
No, you got to get in the fight, Vic.

927
00:51:10,934 --> 00:51:12,836
You can't be waiting
in a matchup like this.

928
00:51:12,903 --> 00:51:16,807
It's about going out there and taking
that North American Championship.

929
00:51:16,873 --> 00:51:19,042
Like I said, you can't wait around
to get that done.

930
00:51:19,109 --> 00:51:22,946
[Book] Look at dragon Lee,
NXT in-ring debut.

931
00:51:23,013 --> 00:51:26,983
When you just hear the oohs, you hear
the Aahs from the NXT universe.

932
00:51:27,050 --> 00:51:28,585
[Vic] See the balance of this kid,
Dragon Lee,

933
00:51:28,652 --> 00:51:31,121
but he got caught with a big shot
there by Dragunov.

934
00:51:31,188 --> 00:51:36,593
[Book ] Got to have eyes in the back
of your head in a matchup like this, Vic.

935
00:51:36,660 --> 00:51:39,129
[Vic] Yes, you take a look
at Dragon Lee right now.

936
00:51:39,196 --> 00:51:40,997
Reigning right into Dragunov.

937
00:51:41,064 --> 00:51:43,333
[Book ] Keeping it legal as well.
Dropping in those big forms.

938
00:51:43,400 --> 00:51:44,734
[Vic] Ooh.

939
00:51:45,302 --> 00:51:47,737
Setting his sights again.

940
00:51:47,804 --> 00:51:49,005
Dragon Lee right now has turned

941
00:51:49,072 --> 00:51:52,342
into a one-man show
in this open challenge.

942
00:51:52,409 --> 00:51:54,244
[Book ] Look at the acceleration
right there from this kid.

943
00:51:54,311 --> 00:51:56,513
This kid is showing me a little something,
Vic

944
00:51:56,580 --> 00:52:00,383
[Vic] Max oh, here we get out
of dodge, though, was is dragon Lee?

945
00:52:00,450 --> 00:52:02,719
We talking about pure speed.

946
00:52:02,786 --> 00:52:05,989
[Book ] Here we go, Vic. Here we go.

947
00:52:10,527 --> 00:52:12,095
[Vic] Oh, same idea

948
00:52:12,596 --> 00:52:15,132
[Book ] No, no, no, no, no. Dragon Lee.

949
00:52:15,198 --> 00:52:17,467
One step ahead right there, Vic.

950
00:52:17,634 --> 00:52:20,103
[Crowd cheers]

951
00:52:20,170 --> 00:52:24,307
[Vic] Oh, dragon Lee looking
to leave his feet, looking to fly,

952
00:52:24,541 --> 00:52:28,178
creating himself a highlight reel
at Stand and Deliver.

953
00:52:28,245 --> 00:52:30,380
[Book ] Effortless, Vic. Flawless.

954
00:52:30,447 --> 00:52:32,749
That was a kid in my book. Check it out.

955
00:52:32,816 --> 00:52:34,484
Check out the balance in the grace

956
00:52:34,551 --> 00:52:37,754
[Book ] With the greatest of ease. Oh yes.

957
00:52:37,821 --> 00:52:39,489
[Vic] One more look and slow motion,

958
00:52:39,556 --> 00:52:41,658
clearing the top, wiping out the deck.

959
00:52:41,725 --> 00:52:43,827
Now Wesley in the ring.

960
00:52:43,894 --> 00:52:45,829
[Book ] Flying Melendes
couldn't have did it better.

961
00:52:45,896 --> 00:52:49,099
[Vic] Oh, catching the, ooh,
the Northern American Champion,

962
00:52:49,933 --> 00:52:52,102
and Wesley's shaking it off.

963
00:52:53,270 --> 00:52:55,071
This is the showdown that Wesley
has been waiting for.

964
00:52:55,138 --> 00:52:57,908
This is the show down Wesley has wanted,
he has wanted the best,

965
00:52:57,974 --> 00:52:59,943
has wanted to face the best.

966
00:53:00,010 --> 00:53:02,212
That's why he has not backed down
from any challenge.

967
00:53:02,279 --> 00:53:04,681
He has opened the door to everyone,
in the locker room,

968
00:53:04,748 --> 00:53:06,883
even the newest of superstars.

969
00:53:08,518 --> 00:53:11,054
[Book ] You still got to wonder
if Wesley is putting himself

970
00:53:11,588 --> 00:53:13,123
out there just a little too far.

971
00:53:13,190 --> 00:53:16,593
Because we don't know a whole
lot about this kid, Dragon Lee.

972
00:53:16,660 --> 00:53:18,261
At least I don't.

973
00:53:18,495 --> 00:53:20,564
[Vic] Well, Wesley's done his scouting.

974
00:53:20,630 --> 00:53:22,399
He knows exactly what
he is in there against.

975
00:53:22,465 --> 00:53:24,701
He doesn't matter how big you are,
how tough you are,

976
00:53:24,768 --> 00:53:27,337
Wesley wants to step in the ring,
he wants to take you down.

977
00:53:27,404 --> 00:53:31,942
He wants to prove the Naysayers wrong
and look at Wesley oozing confidence.

978
00:53:32,008 --> 00:53:34,744
[Book ] Get some what's up.

979
00:53:34,811 --> 00:53:37,647
You better be big enough
and bad enough to take some.

980
00:53:37,714 --> 00:53:39,316
That's that kid, Wesley.

981
00:53:39,382 --> 00:53:42,419
[Vic] Dragunov face first. Lee
now picking up some speed and a knee.

982
00:53:42,485 --> 00:53:43,620
[Book ] Oh yes. Beautiful.

983
00:53:43,687 --> 00:53:45,221
[Vic] Right under the jaw.

984
00:53:45,522 --> 00:53:48,491
When you look around Wesley,
he one standing.

985
00:53:48,725 --> 00:53:51,161
[Book ] Let me tell you something.
Wesley's confidence is over the top.

986
00:53:51,228 --> 00:53:52,829
He's got that stroke
of invincibility right now

987
00:53:52,896 --> 00:53:55,932
and that's that championship around
his waist.

988
00:53:57,601 --> 00:54:01,037
[Vic] Oh, Mc Donagh thinks
he wiped out Lee.

989
00:54:01,104 --> 00:54:04,374
Boom. Wesley had a couple other things
in mind.

990
00:54:05,342 --> 00:54:08,511
We talk about the speed,
we talk about the athleticism,

991
00:54:08,578 --> 00:54:10,981
we talk about the pace
that this matchup would be.

992
00:54:11,047 --> 00:54:12,349
We talk about chaos too.

993
00:54:12,415 --> 00:54:14,985
Book at this point in the matchup,
is it going to be about

994
00:54:15,051 --> 00:54:18,488
which superstar can control
that chaos better than the others?

995
00:54:18,555 --> 00:54:19,956
[Book ] I think so. I agree with you.

996
00:54:20,023 --> 00:54:22,726
Right now it seems
that Wesley is controlling

997
00:54:22,792 --> 00:54:25,028
every bit of this matchup right now.

998
00:54:25,095 --> 00:54:27,797
The thing is, I look at McDonagh,
he seems like

999
00:54:27,864 --> 00:54:30,934
he's a little bit off of his game tonight.

1000
00:54:31,001 --> 00:54:34,137
[Vic] Mc Donagh just running
through oh, Dragon Lee again,

1001
00:54:34,204 --> 00:54:38,875
McDonagh, again, we talk about who
he's focused on, what he is focused on.

1002
00:54:38,942 --> 00:54:40,210
[Book ] Oh, yes.

1003
00:54:40,277 --> 00:54:42,879
[Vic] I asked if McDonagh was
the most dangerous to match,

1004
00:54:42,946 --> 00:54:46,816
but at this point, you got to assume
everybody's just as dangerous.

1005
00:54:46,883 --> 00:54:50,253
This has been an even playing field
for these five superstars.

1006
00:54:50,320 --> 00:54:53,156
Like you said, Mc Donagh
is in control right now,

1007
00:54:53,223 --> 00:54:56,559
but it's still, something's a little bit
off because this kid,

1008
00:54:56,626 --> 00:55:00,297
like I say, he gets you in that crosshair,
he's going to put you away, Vic.

1009
00:55:00,363 --> 00:55:02,065
[Vic] Well, Axiom was looking
for that submission,

1010
00:55:02,132 --> 00:55:06,169
and able to counter right out was
McDonagh, and now JD McDonagh

1011
00:55:06,236 --> 00:55:10,206
the Irish ace back into control, and maybe
it is, maybe he is the most dangerous.

1012
00:55:10,273 --> 00:55:13,576
He is so cerebral when he gets
into this atmosphere.

1013
00:55:13,643 --> 00:55:16,546
He wants to systematically dissect
whoever he's in the ring

1014
00:55:16,980 --> 00:55:21,217
with as he goes up and goes over Nasty
tumble as his momentum carried him.

1015
00:55:21,284 --> 00:55:22,319
[Book] Yes, did. Who did that?

1016
00:55:22,385 --> 00:55:24,921
[Vic] Carried him right
into that kick too.

1017
00:55:24,988 --> 00:55:27,324
[Book] This kid Wesley is definitely
trying to pull his thing out.

1018
00:55:28,692 --> 00:55:29,926
When we talk about that Irish ace.

1019
00:55:29,993 --> 00:55:31,027
[Vic] Oh.

1020
00:55:31,094 --> 00:55:34,330
[Book] We talk about that Irish ace,
who's willing to do anything to win.

1021
00:55:34,397 --> 00:55:38,234
We know he's willing to go
to the end to win a matchup, Vic.

1022
00:55:38,301 --> 00:55:40,537
[Vic] You don't bet against him.
He's the one standing,

1023
00:55:40,603 --> 00:55:42,806
and now Dragon Lee coming right back in,
up and over--

1024
00:55:42,872 --> 00:55:45,575
[Vic] Nasty landing on his shoulder
with that Spanish fly.

1025
00:55:46,009 --> 00:55:49,346
McDonagh has done what
he said he would do.

1026
00:55:49,412 --> 00:55:52,649
Wipe out everyone in there
and the devil inside.

1027
00:55:52,716 --> 00:55:53,983
[Book] Yes.

1028
00:55:54,050 --> 00:55:55,118
[Vic] Cover.

1029
00:55:55,185 --> 00:55:57,220
Could it be his crowning achievement?

1030
00:56:05,595 --> 00:56:07,364
[Book] Dragunov caught the official's arm.

1031
00:56:07,430 --> 00:56:10,867
[Vic] Dragunov said, "if anybody wins,
is not going be you."

1032
00:56:10,934 --> 00:56:14,971
That's two guys that just don't
like each other, Vic.

1033
00:56:18,041 --> 00:56:20,877
It's going to happen. Let's do it.

1034
00:56:22,045 --> 00:56:24,681
[Book] Come on. Come on.

1035
00:56:28,318 --> 00:56:31,821
[Vic] Dragunov back in oh, look around,

1036
00:56:33,923 --> 00:56:36,893
McDonagh, he's going
to meet all his friends.

1037
00:56:37,660 --> 00:56:41,164
Everybody focused on the Irish ace,
and it's Dragunov,

1038
00:56:41,631 --> 00:56:43,900
who hits that German suplex,
but it's now Dragunov

1039
00:56:43,967 --> 00:56:46,536
who trying to get back to his feet.

1040
00:56:46,603 --> 00:56:49,939
So much taken out of all five
of these superstars.

1041
00:56:50,740 --> 00:56:54,878
This has been absolutely
unstoppable action.

1042
00:56:54,944 --> 00:56:58,648
This a little bit earlier Mc Donagh able
to hit that moonsault.

1043
00:56:58,715 --> 00:57:03,620
Right there moments ago, everybody
same thing, take out the Irish ace.

1044
00:57:03,686 --> 00:57:05,355
[Book] Why? Why take out the Irish ace?

1045
00:57:05,422 --> 00:57:07,424
[Book] Is he that dangerous?

1046
00:57:07,490 --> 00:57:09,826
[Vic] You just said
he was dangerous, Book.

1047
00:57:09,893 --> 00:57:12,762
You just said he was in your five.
He's this, he's that.

1048
00:57:12,829 --> 00:57:15,865
Yes, he's dangerous. That strategy.
It was smart.

1049
00:57:15,932 --> 00:57:18,268
[Book] Okay. Okay. I'll give you that.
I'll give you that, Vic.

1050
00:57:18,334 --> 00:57:20,036
[Vic] Now it's-- oh.

1051
00:57:20,103 --> 00:57:22,338
Dragunov almost suffered the same fate.

1052
00:57:22,405 --> 00:57:25,175
But look at Ilja, a superstar
who loves pain.

1053
00:57:25,241 --> 00:57:30,613
He welcomes it. He welcomes the chaos.
A tremendous fighting spirit on display.

1054
00:57:31,047 --> 00:57:34,784
This could be that night that Dragunov--

1055
00:57:36,119 --> 00:57:36,986
[Vic] Whoa.

1056
00:57:37,053 --> 00:57:40,356
[Book] Plays his greatest symphony
here tonight, Vic.

1057
00:57:40,557 --> 00:57:41,991
This could be it right here.

1058
00:57:42,058 --> 00:57:43,293
[Vic] Well, for a lack of a better phrase

1059
00:57:43,359 --> 00:57:46,196
could be this symphony
of destruction at some point.

1060
00:57:46,262 --> 00:57:48,665
Look at Axiom trying to counter,
trying to stay away

1061
00:57:48,731 --> 00:57:50,900
from those sharp elbows,
those sharp strikes,

1062
00:57:50,967 --> 00:57:54,204
and had to do only thing he could have got
caught by constant in special.

1063
00:57:54,270 --> 00:57:55,371
[Book] Yes, indeed.

1064
00:57:55,438 --> 00:58:00,143
Dragunov like the maestro right now,
he's conducting this thing perfectly.

1065
00:58:02,078 --> 00:58:04,481
[Vic] Take another look
and feel the impact.

1066
00:58:04,547 --> 00:58:05,882
[Book] Yes.

1067
00:58:05,949 --> 00:58:09,219
[Vic] Turning Axiom inside out,
but look at the impact back into the ring.

1068
00:58:12,956 --> 00:58:17,627
Dragunov right down in to Dragon Lee,
and now Wesley counters.

1069
00:58:19,128 --> 00:58:20,029
Oh.

1070
00:58:20,096 --> 00:58:21,898
[Book] Let me tell you, Dragunov is--

1071
00:58:21,965 --> 00:58:24,167
[Book] He's dumping a lot
of adrenaline right now, Vic.

1072
00:58:24,234 --> 00:58:27,570
I'm wondering if it's going to pay
off for him in the long run.

1073
00:58:27,637 --> 00:58:29,005
[Vic ] We got to remember it was Wesley

1074
00:58:29,072 --> 00:58:35,011
who provided the opportunity of superstar,
and Dragunov the one in control.

1075
00:58:37,180 --> 00:58:42,018
The fire, burning in the body of Dragunov,

1076
00:58:43,086 --> 00:58:45,455
with Wesley in his sights.

1077
00:58:45,522 --> 00:58:49,792
Big Senton off the top,
and Dragunov right now.

1078
00:58:49,859 --> 00:58:51,961
[Book] You can see the pain
that he's going through.

1079
00:58:52,028 --> 00:58:54,764
Right now he's just pushing
right through the pain.

1080
00:58:54,831 --> 00:58:57,500
[Vic] That's what he talks
about persevering. Oh.

1081
00:58:58,868 --> 00:59:01,404
I don't know how much pain he's going
to be able to take.

1082
00:59:01,471 --> 00:59:04,407
McDonagh happy with himself,
but took his eye off the ball.

1083
00:59:04,474 --> 00:59:07,110
There's axiom, and can Axiom--
can he be the one to defy--

1084
00:59:07,176 --> 00:59:08,845
[Book] this is good reaction tonight.

1085
00:59:08,912 --> 00:59:10,680
[Vic] The odds. Can he defy the odds?

1086
00:59:10,747 --> 00:59:13,182
[Book] I'm going to tell you right
now, if Axiom pull it off tonight,

1087
00:59:13,249 --> 00:59:17,153
he's going to skyrocket straight
to the moon.

1088
00:59:17,220 --> 00:59:20,623
Get him that one man ship straight
to-- oh, yes.

1089
00:59:20,690 --> 00:59:22,592
[Vic] You talking about straight
to the moon,

1090
00:59:22,659 --> 00:59:26,663
aerial insanity on display by Axiom.

1091
00:59:26,729 --> 00:59:28,164
[Book] Yes.

1092
00:59:28,231 --> 00:59:30,900
Took a little worse for wear right there
with that big shot right there.

1093
00:59:30,967 --> 00:59:32,569
Check it out. Check out the balance.
Check out the grace.

1094
00:59:32,635 --> 00:59:33,903
[Vic] One word comes to mind.

1095
00:59:33,970 --> 00:59:36,205
[Book] The landing, is all about
the landing, Vic.

1096
00:59:36,272 --> 00:59:38,141
Oh, yes. Right on the hip.

1097
00:59:38,207 --> 00:59:41,911
[Vic] Talking about the landing
though, did that do more damage to Axiom?

1098
00:59:41,978 --> 00:59:44,247
[Book] That's what I'm saying.
He fell right on his hip.

1099
00:59:44,314 --> 00:59:46,416
That right there could take
him straight out of the game.

1100
00:59:46,482 --> 00:59:48,618
[Vic] Then that door opening
now maybe for Wesley,

1101
00:59:48,685 --> 00:59:51,521
maybe for Dragon Lee.
North American Championship on the line.

1102
00:59:51,587 --> 00:59:53,156
First one to get a pitfall.

1103
00:59:53,222 --> 00:59:56,893
First one to gain a submission,
walks out of Los Angeles

1104
00:59:57,093 --> 00:59:59,062
with the North American Championship--

1105
00:59:59,128 --> 01:00:01,531
[Vic] And three superstars
on the top rope.

1106
01:00:01,598 --> 01:00:04,167
This is a Precariou Sposition
for every man involved

1107
01:00:04,233 --> 01:00:05,501
as Axiom just paid the price.

1108
01:00:05,568 --> 01:00:07,937
[Book] Man, but you got a guy
that don't mind throwing caution

1109
01:00:08,404 --> 01:00:10,139
to the wind and that's Wes Lee.

1110
01:00:10,206 --> 01:00:14,911
But Dragon Lee right
now is in perfect position to strike.

1111
01:00:15,178 --> 01:00:18,548
[Vic] Dragon Lee showing you what
all the hype has been about.

1112
01:00:18,881 --> 01:00:21,184
Right through Wes Lee,

1113
01:00:21,250 --> 01:00:25,388
and again, doing more damage to himself.

1114
01:00:25,455 --> 01:00:27,523
[Book] What a bad landing there
for Dragon Lee.

1115
01:00:27,590 --> 01:00:29,158
I hope that didn't take him out.

1116
01:00:29,225 --> 01:00:34,464
That left knee took a-- oh,
right on the apron there.

1117
01:00:43,606 --> 01:00:46,609
[Vic] It's all about
the North American Championship.

1118
01:00:46,676 --> 01:00:49,746
Wes Lee, the champion,
he said everybody bring it.

1119
01:00:49,812 --> 01:00:53,483
He gave everyone their spot.
Axiom had to earn it this past Tuesday.

1120
01:00:53,549 --> 01:00:56,252
He's trying to showcase why
and now gets himself a little

1121
01:00:56,319 --> 01:00:59,222
something about McDonagh and Dragunov.

1122
01:00:59,889 --> 01:01:04,060
[Book] Dragunov took worse for wear
on that right there, Vic, DDT action.

1123
01:01:04,627 --> 01:01:06,829
[Vic] What is Axiom looking for here?

1124
01:01:06,896 --> 01:01:10,333
Double northern lights. Oh.

1125
01:01:10,400 --> 01:01:13,836
Kick missed but connected on McDonagh.
Dragunov, Dragunov, Dragunov, Dragunov.

1126
01:01:13,903 --> 01:01:15,838
Near fall. Rolling right through.

1127
01:01:15,905 --> 01:01:18,541
Could be looking for maybe
a submission here, Axiom.

1128
01:01:18,608 --> 01:01:19,876
[Book] Oh, he got it.

1129
01:01:19,942 --> 01:01:22,245
[Vic] Can he get the arm bar.
Dragunov started it, rolled through.

1130
01:01:22,311 --> 01:01:23,179
Ankle lock. Ankle lock.

1131
01:01:23,246 --> 01:01:25,314
[Book] So close. So close. So close, Vic.

1132
01:01:25,381 --> 01:01:27,316
[Vic] Trying to roll through.
Ankle lock is held in.

1133
01:01:27,383 --> 01:01:31,421
Oh. I thought Axiom saw McDonagh coming.
McDonagh too quick.

1134
01:01:31,487 --> 01:01:34,057
Now look at the vicious strikes
from the Irish ace.

1135
01:01:34,123 --> 01:01:37,827
Those right there, those almost should
be illegal kicks right there, Vic.

1136
01:01:37,894 --> 01:01:39,062
Oh wow.

1137
01:01:39,128 --> 01:01:41,230
[Vic] You talking about a kick.
Another kick.

1138
01:01:41,297 --> 01:01:42,732
Back into the submission for Axiom.

1139
01:01:42,799 --> 01:01:44,634
[Book] Trying to get that stretch.
He's got that stretch.

1140
01:01:44,701 --> 01:01:46,769
That abdominal stretch
from the grounded position.

1141
01:01:46,836 --> 01:01:48,905
He's very, very deadly, Vic.

1142
01:01:48,971 --> 01:01:51,607
Can Axiom lock in the submission?

1143
01:01:51,674 --> 01:01:54,343
Look at the awkward Torque. What?

1144
01:01:54,410 --> 01:01:56,979
Dragunov just trying to lock
in a submission in his own.

1145
01:01:57,046 --> 01:02:01,317
Axiom. If McDonagh taps,
Dragunov's going to win.

1146
01:02:02,318 --> 01:02:05,588
Axiom realizing it.
Fujiwara armbar now locked in.

1147
01:02:05,655 --> 01:02:07,390
Look at the chain of submission.

1148
01:02:07,457 --> 01:02:08,291
[Book] Oh, yes.

1149
01:02:08,357 --> 01:02:09,792
[Vic] You talk about will,
who's going to tap?

1150
01:02:09,859 --> 01:02:10,760
[Book] Who's going to quit?

1151
01:02:10,827 --> 01:02:12,962
[Vic] Look at the body
manipulation now of Axiom.

1152
01:02:13,029 --> 01:02:16,265
If they tap, who'd win? Look at these two.

1153
01:02:16,332 --> 01:02:19,402
[Book] These guys are focused on one
thing and that's killing each other, Vic.

1154
01:02:19,469 --> 01:02:24,207
JD McDonagh and Dragunov cannot
stay focused for one second.

1155
01:02:24,373 --> 01:02:25,875
[Vic] One headbutt after another.

1156
01:02:25,942 --> 01:02:29,078
Now Axiom trying to lock in a submission,
McDonagh

1157
01:02:29,145 --> 01:02:31,481
getting locked in by Dragon Lee
and almost reaching out

1158
01:02:31,547 --> 01:02:34,717
for each other so the other one doesn't
tap. The other one doesn't quit.

1159
01:02:34,784 --> 01:02:36,819
[Book] Dragunov roll through.
Oh, whoa, whoa. Wait a minute.

1160
01:02:36,886 --> 01:02:37,720
[Vic] Oh.

1161
01:02:37,787 --> 01:02:39,122
[Book] They're caught in a triangle.

1162
01:02:39,188 --> 01:02:41,224
[Vic] You see what Dragunov is thinking?

1163
01:02:41,691 --> 01:02:45,928
[Vic] Stacked up. Cover, count. Wes Lee.

1164
01:02:48,097 --> 01:02:51,534
[Book] Floating like a butterfly,
sting like a bee.

1165
01:02:51,901 --> 01:02:53,669
That's Wes Lee, check him out.

1166
01:02:53,736 --> 01:02:55,238
[Vic] Take another look.

1167
01:02:57,240 --> 01:02:58,841
Boom.

1168
01:02:58,908 --> 01:03:01,077
[Book] Yes.

1169
01:03:04,013 --> 01:03:06,215
[Vic] Referee taking a look around
right now

1170
01:03:06,282 --> 01:03:08,751
because you got to wonder who was
on top of whose shoulders.

1171
01:03:08,818 --> 01:03:10,386
Referee hit three.

1172
01:03:10,453 --> 01:03:12,822
[Book] It doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter right now, Vic.

1173
01:03:12,889 --> 01:03:15,892
Right now everybody's down,
but everybody's thinking about one thing,

1174
01:03:15,958 --> 01:03:20,029
how can we get in position
to get that championship?

1175
01:03:20,263 --> 01:03:21,197
[Vic] Oh.

1176
01:03:23,065 --> 01:03:24,433
Wes Lee looking around.

1177
01:03:24,500 --> 01:03:27,803
Wait a minute, coming through.
Golden ratio. Holy hell.

1178
01:03:27,870 --> 01:03:29,572
[Book] Oh, yes.

1179
01:03:29,639 --> 01:03:30,740
[Vic] Wes Lee's got to be out.

1180
01:03:30,807 --> 01:03:33,976
Axiom now trying to turn around Mc Donagh.
Mc Donagh holding up, popping up.

1181
01:03:34,043 --> 01:03:35,444
Bam.

1182
01:03:35,511 --> 01:03:37,847
[Book] Mc Donagh wants it, Vic.
He wants it.

1183
01:03:37,914 --> 01:03:41,951
He wants it here at Stand and Deliver,
but he's competition-based tonight.

1184
01:03:42,018 --> 01:03:44,720
[Vic] Snap German suplex catches,
and now there comes Dragunov.

1185
01:03:44,787 --> 01:03:46,422
Dragunov with a rapid-fire knees.

1186
01:03:46,489 --> 01:03:48,925
Dragon Lee trying to create
a little separation,

1187
01:03:49,125 --> 01:03:52,562
but that knee tried to go through
the body of Dragon Lee.

1188
01:03:52,628 --> 01:03:58,034
It's Dragunov, somehow
that unmatched rage into planting

1189
01:03:58,100 --> 01:04:02,305
Dragon Lee into the cover,
the count, and Wes Lee somehow

1190
01:04:02,371 --> 01:04:07,410
able to break things up, somehow muster
the strength to hit that stomp.

1191
01:04:07,476 --> 01:04:08,744
[Book] Wow.

1192
01:04:08,811 --> 01:04:11,247
[Vic] Will this be enough? Cover.

1193
01:04:11,314 --> 01:04:13,216
Oh. Another kick-out.

1194
01:04:13,282 --> 01:04:14,984
[Book] Tell you it's going
to take a whole lot more.

1195
01:04:15,051 --> 01:04:16,786
These men want it tonight, Vic.

1196
01:04:16,986 --> 01:04:20,356
They want it bad desperately
to walk away champion.

1197
01:04:20,423 --> 01:04:24,427
Check out the beauty the grace,
but got caught right in mid-air.

1198
01:04:24,493 --> 01:04:25,761
Perfect timing.

1199
01:04:25,828 --> 01:04:27,463
[Vic] I don't know
how Wes Lee's even moving,

1200
01:04:27,530 --> 01:04:29,098
how he's even getting back
into this matchup,

1201
01:04:29,165 --> 01:04:34,537
how he is even able to use Dragunov
as a launchpad to get planted.

1202
01:04:34,837 --> 01:04:38,674
Sit down powerbomb. New champion? No.

1203
01:04:38,741 --> 01:04:40,743
[Book] There's no way
you can question Wes Lee.

1204
01:04:40,810 --> 01:04:44,914
[Book] You can't question Wes Lee's
heart and his determination, his will.

1205
01:04:44,981 --> 01:04:48,084
He's a kid that's going to fight.
He comes from that neighborhood.

1206
01:04:49,285 --> 01:04:52,255
[Vic] How close was
that last three though, Book?

1207
01:04:52,321 --> 01:04:55,057
[Book] So close. Like I say,
that was instinct right there.

1208
01:04:55,124 --> 01:04:57,460
Kickout. That was an instinctual
kickout right there.

1209
01:04:57,927 --> 01:04:58,828
[Vic] We talking about
the pressure Dragon Lee

1210
01:04:58,895 --> 01:05:01,063
knows that he's on the biggest stage
he's ever been

1211
01:05:01,130 --> 01:05:04,800
on as now again trying to Stack
him up is Mc Donagh.

1212
01:05:04,867 --> 01:05:07,737
Axiom rolled out of the way.
Into the cover, and Axiom had to kick.

1213
01:05:07,803 --> 01:05:09,605
[Book] Did you see that?
Did you see that moonsault

1214
01:05:09,672 --> 01:05:14,277
in mid-air right there JD Mc Donagh pulled
it off with style and grace and precision.

1215
01:05:14,343 --> 01:05:16,312
[Vic] It don't matter about style
and grace, Book.

1216
01:05:16,379 --> 01:05:17,980
It don't even matter about skill.

1217
01:05:18,047 --> 01:05:21,884
It's going to come down to what
you have been saying all night, will.

1218
01:05:21,951 --> 01:05:24,120
Who has the will to win?

1219
01:05:24,186 --> 01:05:26,289
[Book] I agree. I agree 100%.

1220
01:05:26,355 --> 01:05:29,625
Right now JD Mc Donagh is willing
to throw all caution

1221
01:05:29,692 --> 01:05:31,761
to the wind to actually do that.

1222
01:05:32,061 --> 01:05:34,630
[Vic] There's McDonagh back in.

1223
01:05:34,697 --> 01:05:36,999
Axiom trying to take a look
around at all these bodies--

1224
01:05:37,066 --> 01:05:41,237
[Book] talking about the Matrix. Oh yes.

1225
01:05:41,304 --> 01:05:42,838
[Vic] We got a new champion.

1226
01:05:42,905 --> 01:05:46,776
[Book] Oh my god. What a kick-out.

1227
01:05:48,244 --> 01:05:50,613
[Vic] I'm trying to see
how close this was.

1228
01:05:50,680 --> 01:05:53,015
Take a look, you're talk about balance,
you talk about style,

1229
01:05:53,082 --> 01:05:58,254
you talk about grace, Axiom hitting
that DDT into the cover

1230
01:05:58,321 --> 01:06:01,691
and McDonagh-- you might
have not been able to slide a piece

1231
01:06:01,757 --> 01:06:05,928
of paper under our referee's hands,
that's how close it was.

1232
01:06:05,995 --> 01:06:08,097
[Book] Wow.

1233
01:06:08,297 --> 01:06:13,169
I'll tell you, Vic, I'm blowing up just
looking at this matchup right here.

1234
01:06:13,235 --> 01:06:15,304
[Vic] We said this matchup
could steal the show.

1235
01:06:15,371 --> 01:06:19,542
We talked about the pace, how fast
these five were going to move.

1236
01:06:19,608 --> 01:06:22,278
Just take a look at everyone,
all these kicks.

1237
01:06:22,345 --> 01:06:26,215
This is just showing you what
the North America championship means.

1238
01:06:26,282 --> 01:06:28,250
[Book] Oh, wow.

1239
01:06:29,218 --> 01:06:34,390
[Vic] There comes Dragunov,
right across the face of Axiom.

1240
01:06:34,457 --> 01:06:36,926
[Book] Dragunov is so close, Vic.
So close.

1241
01:06:36,993 --> 01:06:38,894
If he could land this one big shot--

1242
01:06:38,961 --> 01:06:43,099
This could be-- This could be
the kill shot right here, Vic.

1243
01:06:43,165 --> 01:06:44,867
This could be it.

1244
01:06:44,934 --> 01:06:46,435
[Vic] No way.

1245
01:06:46,502 --> 01:06:48,204
[Book] Oh yes.

1246
01:06:50,272 --> 01:06:52,375
[Book] Down.

1247
01:06:52,441 --> 01:06:53,676
That's it.

1248
01:06:53,743 --> 01:06:57,480
[Vic] That knocked out McDonagh
in the past. For the title. No.

1249
01:06:58,848 --> 01:07:01,951
What else you want to say?

1250
01:07:02,018 --> 01:07:03,986
[Book] Wow.

1251
01:07:04,053 --> 01:07:06,989
I'm going to tell you, Wes Lee's
not willing to walk away

1252
01:07:07,056 --> 01:07:09,492
that easy and give his championship up.

1253
01:07:10,893 --> 01:07:16,298
[Crowd cheers]

1254
01:07:17,666 --> 01:07:20,002
[Vic] Wes Lee can't even get to his feet,

1255
01:07:20,069 --> 01:07:22,671
but Dragon Lee just starting to move now.

1256
01:07:22,738 --> 01:07:25,374
I don't think McDonagh, I'm trying
to look around, hasn't moved.

1257
01:07:25,441 --> 01:07:30,679
I don't know where Axiom is,
but somehow there is Ilja Dragunov.

1258
01:07:31,113 --> 01:07:33,215
[Book] Look at the heart of this
young man, looking like

1259
01:07:33,282 --> 01:07:37,286
I say to paint his greatest portrait,
to play his greatest symphony.

1260
01:07:37,353 --> 01:07:39,588
That's this kid Dragunov.

1261
01:07:39,855 --> 01:07:42,358
[Vic] He's willing to sacrifice himself.

1262
01:07:42,425 --> 01:07:46,495
Again, we talking about loving
the pain, thriving off of it.

1263
01:07:46,562 --> 01:07:51,067
It's Dragon Lee, it's Wes Lee getting
chopped down now in this moment.

1264
01:07:54,069 --> 01:07:56,739
Listen to these strikes.

1265
01:07:56,806 --> 01:07:59,075
[Book] Oh, that shot right there,
I think that was it.

1266
01:07:59,141 --> 01:08:02,144
Oh, no, still alive.

1267
01:08:02,211 --> 01:08:04,080
[Crowd cheers]

1268
01:08:04,246 --> 01:08:06,849
[Vic] That last one buckled
on the knees of the champion

1269
01:08:06,916 --> 01:08:10,753
and that knee buckled. He knees
put him on rubber legs.

1270
01:08:10,820 --> 01:08:11,987
How the?

1271
01:08:12,054 --> 01:08:17,393
[Book] I can't tell where Dragunov
is finding this energy here tonight.

1272
01:08:17,460 --> 01:08:18,861
The fans, they love it.

1273
01:08:18,928 --> 01:08:20,696
[Vic] He's an absolute machine, Book.

1274
01:08:20,763 --> 01:08:21,964
[Book] Yes, he is.

1275
01:08:22,031 --> 01:08:24,200
[Vic] He's not going to be denied tonight.

1276
01:08:24,266 --> 01:08:27,036
Ilja Dragunov pulling himself up.

1277
01:08:31,340 --> 01:08:34,376
Looking to drive the Torpedo
right through the--

1278
01:08:34,443 --> 01:08:36,212
[Book] Oh. Whoa.

1279
01:08:36,278 --> 01:08:38,347
[Vic] Wes Lee connects.
Kardiak kick. Kardiak kick.

1280
01:08:38,414 --> 01:08:41,383
Into the cover for the Kardiak Kid.

1281
01:08:41,450 --> 01:08:44,286
[Bell rings]

1282
01:08:44,353 --> 01:08:47,656
[Wes Lee's music plays]

1283
01:08:47,723 --> 01:08:53,362
[woman 1] Here's your winner and still
the NXT North American champion, Wes Lee.

1284
01:08:53,429 --> 01:08:58,634
[Vic] Los Angeles is on their feet
for the North American Champion

1285
01:08:58,701 --> 01:09:02,071
and what these five were willing
to put themselves through,

1286
01:09:02,138 --> 01:09:06,075
what these five were willing
to sacrifice themselves for.

1287
01:09:06,142 --> 01:09:09,011
Wow. Wow. Wow.

1288
01:09:09,078 --> 01:09:10,980
[Book] I'll tell you, Wes Lee just proved

1289
01:09:11,046 --> 01:09:17,419
that he is truly one of the greatest North
American Champions in the history of NXT.

1290
01:09:23,092 --> 01:09:25,995
[Vic] Some of this action,
I talk about the strength,

1291
01:09:26,061 --> 01:09:28,764
it's unbridled from Ilja Dragunov.

1292
01:09:28,831 --> 01:09:31,667
At this point in the matchup for Dragunov

1293
01:09:31,734 --> 01:09:34,303
to still have the amount
of aggression he had.

1294
01:09:34,370 --> 01:09:37,273
Look at this, boom, perfectly placed.

1295
01:09:37,339 --> 01:09:40,109
I heard Daniel Cormier's sitting
behind me even let out a big

1296
01:09:40,175 --> 01:09:42,378
"oh," when he saw that strike.

1297
01:09:42,444 --> 01:09:44,747
[Book] Oh, yes. Everybody wanted it, Vic.

1298
01:09:44,813 --> 01:09:46,448
Everybody wanted it.

1299
01:09:46,515 --> 01:09:49,718
I tell you, Draguov, nobody wanted
it more than him.

1300
01:09:49,785 --> 01:09:54,189
But this young man, Wes Lee,
with the greatest of his,

1301
01:09:54,256 --> 01:09:59,094
the cardio kick, with the cardio kick
going straight to the top.

1302
01:09:59,161 --> 01:10:01,997
[Vic] Kardiac not cardio.
He ain't in there running laps.

1303
01:10:02,064 --> 01:10:04,500
[Book] Kardiac, cardio, same thing.
He knows it.

1304
01:10:04,567 --> 01:10:06,936
[Vic] It don't matter.
Wesley is still the man to beat.

1305
01:10:07,002 --> 01:10:10,005
Wesley's still the North American
Champion.

1306
01:10:15,244 --> 01:10:20,583
[man 2] We'd like to extend a special
thank you to turnstile for blackout.

1307
01:10:20,649 --> 01:10:23,085
The official theme song of NXT Stand
and Deliver is from the album, glow on.

1308
01:10:23,152 --> 01:10:26,689
Available now on apple music and spotify.

1309
01:10:27,790 --> 01:10:30,492
[Vic] Much like we saw earlier
with Johnny Gargano,

1310
01:10:30,559 --> 01:10:32,828
there is the arrogant Aussie
who is already

1311
01:10:32,895 --> 01:10:37,700
for what he started 16 months ago.

1312
01:10:38,300 --> 01:10:40,102
Hello.

1313
01:10:40,169 --> 01:10:42,471
Oh my mate, Elton,
what did we just witness

1314
01:10:42,538 --> 01:10:44,240
with that North American open challenge?

1315
01:10:44,306 --> 01:10:47,309
Goodness gracious, that was barbaric.
It truly was.

1316
01:10:47,376 --> 01:10:49,812
Speaking of, up next we have
the unsanctioned match,

1317
01:10:49,878 --> 01:10:52,681
Johnny Gargano versus Grayson Waller.

1318
01:10:52,748 --> 01:10:56,952
First, as your gracious host,
we need to get a little scoop

1319
01:10:57,019 --> 01:11:00,055
so that's why we're outside
the locker room of the challenger

1320
01:11:00,122 --> 01:11:03,392
for the NXT Championship, Carmelo Hayes.

1321
01:11:03,459 --> 01:11:07,296
Unlike our previous attempt,
Bron Breakker, his locker room,

1322
01:11:07,363 --> 01:11:09,765
I think today we're going
to get a little scoop.

1323
01:11:09,832 --> 01:11:12,268
We're going to get a little behind
the scenes, what's going on in his head.

1324
01:11:12,334 --> 01:11:13,569
You sure, though?

1325
01:11:13,636 --> 01:11:15,871
Last time we saw Melo,
he wasn't exactly nice to us either.

1326
01:11:15,938 --> 01:11:18,574
Elton, we have to remember who we are.

1327
01:11:18,874 --> 01:11:21,043
We're pretty deadly, dammit.

1328
01:11:21,810 --> 01:11:23,412
You're damn right we are.

1329
01:11:23,479 --> 01:11:27,049
The host of Stand and Deliver.

1330
01:11:27,116 --> 01:11:29,251
Multiple-time tag team Champions,
thank you.

1331
01:11:29,318 --> 01:11:31,954
All right. Knock, knock.
I'm going to do it.

1332
01:11:32,021 --> 01:11:34,490
What's a knock that's kind
of friendly and supportive?

1333
01:11:34,556 --> 01:11:36,892
I don't want to be abrasive
or I don't want to be rude.

1334
01:11:36,959 --> 01:11:38,394
A soft two-knock?

1335
01:11:38,460 --> 01:11:39,695
I really want it to scream--

1336
01:11:39,762 --> 01:11:42,865
oh, shut your double-breasted lips
while grown folks are talking.

1337
01:11:42,931 --> 01:11:44,867
I can hear you with my headphones on.

1338
01:11:44,933 --> 01:11:48,037
We here trying to game plan, Dawg.
Look, you want the scoop?

1339
01:11:48,103 --> 01:11:49,271
Here's the scoop.

1340
01:11:49,338 --> 01:11:52,408
Hollywood ain't ready, la ain't ready
Bron Breakker

1341
01:11:52,474 --> 01:11:54,777
ain't ready for what Carmelo Hayes
is about to do tonight.

1342
01:11:54,843 --> 01:11:57,313
Oh, man. We're going
to do something new for this fight.

1343
01:11:57,379 --> 01:12:00,816
We done wrestled with an alligator,
tussle with a whale.

1344
01:12:00,983 --> 01:12:03,385
The way y'all dressed,
y'all need to go to jail.

1345
01:12:03,686 --> 01:12:05,287
Yes.

1346
01:12:06,555 --> 01:12:09,792
Today's the day the whole
world knows why Carmelo Hayes is him.

1347
01:12:09,858 --> 01:12:11,493
Nice jacket.

1348
01:12:11,560 --> 01:12:14,596
Thank you. Wow, wow, wow.

1349
01:12:14,663 --> 01:12:17,366
There's the scoop. Back to you.

1350
01:12:19,101 --> 01:12:20,936
[Vic] Well, thanks again, guys.

1351
01:12:21,003 --> 01:12:26,241
What happens next, WWE NXT
not held liable for what happens.

1352
01:12:26,308 --> 01:12:29,378
Johnny Gargano back in NXT to end

1353
01:12:29,445 --> 01:12:33,882
what Grayson Waller started
and made very, very personal.

1354
01:12:36,585 --> 01:12:40,289
[man 3] I am NXT without me, it's nothing.

1355
01:12:40,356 --> 01:12:44,660
What I'm most sick of is having
a boss who has the biggest

1356
01:12:44,727 --> 01:12:48,297
box-office superstar ever
and he has no-- enough.

1357
01:12:48,897 --> 01:12:51,166
Then, do something about it.

1358
01:12:51,233 --> 01:12:53,969
Me and you, Stand & Deliver.

1359
01:12:54,036 --> 01:12:59,842
Nothing would thrill me more than
to whip your ass is Stand & Deliver.

1360
01:12:59,908 --> 01:13:04,480
The reality is, there's somebody that want
to whip your ass a lot more than I do.

1361
01:13:04,947 --> 01:13:08,350
Your opponent at Stand & Deliver
is this man.

1362
01:13:12,388 --> 01:13:16,859
[Crowd chants "Johnny Wrestling"]

1363
01:13:19,728 --> 01:13:26,001
[man 3] For the first time in a very long
time, I know exactly who I am.

1364
01:13:30,506 --> 01:13:36,211
I love everything about NXT,
everything about this place.

1365
01:13:39,014 --> 01:13:44,787
The new NXT champion and the first-ever

1366
01:13:44,853 --> 01:13:48,357
NXT triple-crown winner.

1367
01:13:48,957 --> 01:13:54,029
I am Johnny Gargano.
I am Johnny freaking wrestling.

1368
01:13:56,098 --> 01:14:01,370
Waller looks like he's seen
a ghost of NXT's past.

1369
01:14:01,603 --> 01:14:06,809
[Johnny] 15 months ago, my story
ended on a cliffhanger.

1370
01:14:06,875 --> 01:14:09,278
[man 3] Johnny Wrestling is nuts.

1371
01:14:09,344 --> 01:14:15,417
[Johnny Garg] A lot changed in 15 months,
but one thing that will never change,

1372
01:14:15,484 --> 01:14:21,890
NXT is my home. Grayson,
you do not screw with a man's home.

1373
01:14:21,957 --> 01:14:25,227
Johnny. Grayson's at your house.

1374
01:14:25,294 --> 01:14:27,463
Hey, Johnny, I'm at your house.

1375
01:14:27,529 --> 01:14:29,998
Johnny, if I were you,
I'd get home real quick, lad.

1376
01:14:30,065 --> 01:14:35,704
Because that is the Grayson Waller effect.

1377
01:14:38,407 --> 01:14:42,811
[man 3] Welcome home, Johnny.

1378
01:14:42,878 --> 01:14:46,515
Grayson Waller, you want
to make things personal?

1379
01:14:46,582 --> 01:14:48,984
You want to raise the stakes?

1380
01:14:49,051 --> 01:14:52,821
Hey, Johnny.
Looking a little bit better than

1381
01:14:52,888 --> 01:14:55,290
when I left you a beaten man
on your front lawn.

1382
01:14:55,357 --> 01:14:59,862
In my hand is a contract
for a type of match

1383
01:14:59,928 --> 01:15:05,667
that I know very, very well.
It's an unsanctioned match.

1384
01:15:05,734 --> 01:15:12,441
I have the greatest big-match superstar
in NXT history begging me

1385
01:15:12,508 --> 01:15:14,776
to kick his ass at Stand & Deliver.

1386
01:15:14,843 --> 01:15:20,449
15 months ago, I used you to put myself
on the map , and at Stand & Deliver,

1387
01:15:20,516 --> 01:15:23,585
I use you one more time.

1388
01:15:27,789 --> 01:15:30,058
Gargano's here.

1389
01:15:30,125 --> 01:15:36,965
Grayson Waller versus Johnny Gargano.
No rules.

1390
01:15:37,032 --> 01:15:40,936
Anything goes in an unsanctioned match.

1391
01:15:43,872 --> 01:15:45,274
I mean that.

1392
01:15:45,340 --> 01:15:48,977
Johnny Wrestling is dead, Lad.
Johnny wrestling is gone.

1393
01:15:49,044 --> 01:15:53,749
Tonight, I put an end to Gargano.
You think you're NXT?

1394
01:15:54,716 --> 01:15:58,453
You think you're NXT? I'm NXT.

1395
01:15:58,520 --> 01:16:01,223
I do what I want, when I want.

1396
01:16:01,990 --> 01:16:07,596
Hey, Shawn. That's your boy, huh?

1397
01:16:07,663 --> 01:16:10,699
Your boy, Gargano, I'm going to end
him in front of you tonight.

1398
01:16:10,766 --> 01:16:15,137
That's going to be the real heartbreak.
Now hit my music.

1399
01:16:15,203 --> 01:16:18,106
Grayson Waller, you want
to talk about showtime.

1400
01:16:18,173 --> 01:16:20,075
You want to talk about showtime, Lad?

1401
01:16:20,142 --> 01:16:23,211
Grayson Waller is showtime.

1402
01:16:23,278 --> 01:16:26,815
Don't worry about the I run this town.

1403
01:16:27,649 --> 01:16:31,753
Here we go, baby. I love this.

1404
01:16:33,755 --> 01:16:34,590
[Bell rings]

1405
01:16:34,656 --> 01:16:37,926
The following is an unsanctioned match.

1406
01:16:38,727 --> 01:16:42,431
Introducing first, Grayson Waller.

1407
01:16:44,933 --> 01:16:48,470
[Vic] The only thing worse seeing
Grayson Waller once is seeing him twice

1408
01:16:48,537 --> 01:16:50,872
with his own Instagram live
in the bottom left corner.

1409
01:16:52,174 --> 01:16:56,044
Will Grayson Waller regret attacking
Johnny Gargano

1410
01:16:56,111 --> 01:16:58,647
16 months ago, let alone
attack him at his home?

1411
01:16:58,981 --> 01:17:01,617
There's Candice and quill almost on queue.

1412
01:17:01,683 --> 01:17:04,353
He thinks it's a joke.
This is ain't a joke, Book.

1413
01:17:04,419 --> 01:17:06,688
[Book] Johnny's going to answer
that question right there.

1414
01:17:06,755 --> 01:17:09,458
One thing about this kid,
this kid, Grayson Waller,

1415
01:17:09,691 --> 01:17:11,727
he don't mind getting under your skin.

1416
01:17:11,793 --> 01:17:13,662
He wants to step on your toes.

1417
01:17:13,729 --> 01:17:17,265
He wants to step on those
toes and keep on walking.

1418
01:17:17,566 --> 01:17:21,837
That's what this kid is all--
I'm not a fan, but I do like his tactics.

1419
01:17:32,848 --> 01:17:35,517
Looking for that viral moment
here tonight.

1420
01:17:38,053 --> 01:17:40,522
There's a reason they call me
Johnny Wrestling.

1421
01:17:40,589 --> 01:17:44,559
I know when I step in that ring, no one,

1422
01:17:45,027 --> 01:17:48,830
no one has more heart than I do.

1423
01:17:57,873 --> 01:18:00,675
I will not quit. I will not stop.

1424
01:18:00,742 --> 01:18:04,646
Nothing will stop me from putting
on the show I know I can put on tonight.

1425
01:18:04,713 --> 01:18:08,483
At the end of the day, they're going
to know who Johnny Gargano is.

1426
01:18:08,550 --> 01:18:10,452
[Vic] The man who made history

1427
01:18:10,519 --> 01:18:13,055
to become the First Triple-Crown
Champion of NXT.

1428
01:18:17,693 --> 01:18:22,130
There would be no Johnny Wrestling
if it wasn't for all you guys.

1429
01:18:22,197 --> 01:18:26,468
We are not your kind.
We are-- [crowd chants, "NXT"]

1430
01:18:55,564 --> 01:19:01,803
[man 3] His opponent, Johnny Gargano.

1431
01:19:01,870 --> 01:19:04,940
[Vic] Book, you can see
Johnny Gargano what he's wearing

1432
01:19:05,006 --> 01:19:06,608
to the ring here tonight.

1433
01:19:08,810 --> 01:19:11,913
This is his home. That's his son.
That's his wife.

1434
01:19:11,980 --> 01:19:15,283
This could be the final
walk for Johnny Gargano.

1435
01:19:15,350 --> 01:19:18,186
Johnny Gargano is wearing symbols
from all those battles

1436
01:19:18,253 --> 01:19:21,089
from Tommaso Ciampa to Finn Balor.

1437
01:19:21,156 --> 01:19:26,561
The date 9/9/15, his debut in NXT. Oh.

1438
01:19:26,628 --> 01:19:27,596
[Book] Oh, yes.

1439
01:19:27,662 --> 01:19:29,297
[Vic] He saw that one coming in Gargano.

1440
01:19:29,364 --> 01:19:30,665
[Book] No rules, no rules.

1441
01:19:30,732 --> 01:19:34,536
[Vic] This is an unsanctioned--
it's an unsanctioned match.

1442
01:19:35,403 --> 01:19:41,042
No one is held liable in this match.
Woah. Book.

1443
01:19:45,180 --> 01:19:49,618
No one is going to be held liable
or what happens in this matchup.

1444
01:19:49,851 --> 01:19:52,687
Not the WWE , not NXT.

1445
01:19:52,754 --> 01:19:58,160
Gargano looking to end Waller.
Woah. The hell Waller just do?

1446
01:19:58,827 --> 01:20:01,096
You all right, book?

1447
01:20:02,964 --> 01:20:04,900
[Book] That's your boy, huh?

1448
01:20:05,400 --> 01:20:07,536
[Vic] Yes.

1449
01:20:07,602 --> 01:20:10,372
You all right, Book?

1450
01:20:17,412 --> 01:20:19,948
[Vic] Again, this can spill out anywhere.
It's unsanctioned.

1451
01:20:20,015 --> 01:20:22,684
As I was trying to say, there's no rules,

1452
01:20:22,751 --> 01:20:25,187
and that fits up right up
Johnny Gargano's alley.

1453
01:20:25,253 --> 01:20:29,658
We have seen what Johnny Gargano
could do in this sort of environment.

1454
01:20:29,724 --> 01:20:32,661
You seen it multiple times.

1455
01:20:32,727 --> 01:20:36,531
Johnny Gargano indeed
is home in this moment.

1456
01:20:36,598 --> 01:20:37,799
[Book] I get this, Vic.

1457
01:20:37,866 --> 01:20:40,702
I understand right now what
Johnny Gargano's coming for.

1458
01:20:40,769 --> 01:20:42,237
You don't mess with family.

1459
01:20:42,304 --> 01:20:45,774
Grayson Waller he crossed
the line right there.

1460
01:20:51,947 --> 01:20:53,982
[Vic] He crossed the line.

1461
01:20:54,049 --> 01:20:56,885
Gargano is ready to run right passed it.

1462
01:20:56,952 --> 01:21:01,156
Oh, there's that sling shot spear and look
at Gargano, didn't go for the cover.

1463
01:21:01,223 --> 01:21:03,558
He wants to beat the hell out
of Grayson Waller

1464
01:21:03,625 --> 01:21:04,993
here tonight in Los Angeles.

1465
01:21:05,060 --> 01:21:09,397
[Book] If someone comes to your house,
you're not looking for a pinfall

1466
01:21:09,464 --> 01:21:12,367
you're not looking for a payoff
or anything like that.

1467
01:21:12,434 --> 01:21:14,236
You looking to beat
the hell out of this man.

1468
01:21:14,302 --> 01:21:16,538
[Vic] He's looking to silence
that arrogant Aussie.

1469
01:21:16,605 --> 01:21:18,173
We've seen throughout
the careers I've mentioned,

1470
01:21:18,240 --> 01:21:23,111
there is no depths Johnny Gargano
is not willing to go in this atmosphere,

1471
01:21:23,178 --> 01:21:26,715
and you could see
Gargano's mind starting to roll.

1472
01:21:26,781 --> 01:21:28,416
He's picking up some speed.

1473
01:21:28,483 --> 01:21:30,085
He's-- boom.

1474
01:21:31,253 --> 01:21:33,955
[Book] Let his emotions get
to him right there, Vic.

1475
01:21:34,022 --> 01:21:35,957
He ran right into that shot.

1476
01:21:36,024 --> 01:21:38,093
Grayson Waller was waiting.

1477
01:21:39,461 --> 01:21:41,563
[Vic] Now, what's on Waller's mind?

1478
01:21:41,630 --> 01:21:43,698
NXT live event Media appearance.

1479
01:21:43,765 --> 01:21:46,902
He said he wants to hurt
Johnny Gargano here tonight.

1480
01:21:46,968 --> 01:21:47,869
[Book] Exactly.

1481
01:21:47,936 --> 01:21:50,238
[Vic] He wants to end Johnny Gargano.

1482
01:21:50,305 --> 01:21:53,341
[Book] You just answered
your own question, Vic.

1483
01:21:53,408 --> 01:21:58,713
That's what's on his mind, May Hem,
destruction, take this man out.

1484
01:21:58,780 --> 01:22:00,215
That's what it's all about.

1485
01:22:00,282 --> 01:22:01,683
[Vic] We talking about destruction.

1486
01:22:01,750 --> 01:22:05,887
What about construction with
Grayson Waller putting something

1487
01:22:05,954 --> 01:22:10,425
together through that deviant
mind of his in this moment.

1488
01:22:11,259 --> 01:22:14,362
[Book] Grayson Waller, he wants
to hurt Johnny Gargano.

1489
01:22:14,429 --> 01:22:17,999
He wants to take everything
from Johnny Gargano.

1490
01:22:18,066 --> 01:22:21,269
[Vic] 100%.
He questioned Johnny Gargano's hunger.

1491
01:22:21,336 --> 01:22:25,273
Said, he's not as hungry as he is anymore.
Wants to prove a point.

1492
01:22:25,340 --> 01:22:30,078
[Book] I think it's just excessive
Gargano, the popularity of Gargano.

1493
01:22:30,145 --> 01:22:33,848
Right now, Waller wants to take
it from him in the worst way.

1494
01:22:33,915 --> 01:22:35,784
[Vic] Waller's looking down
on that bed of chairs,

1495
01:22:35,850 --> 01:22:38,119
and now Waller could be the one

1496
01:22:39,387 --> 01:22:44,893
that goes-- oh, Gargano trying to hold
on and over that top rope.

1497
01:22:44,960 --> 01:22:46,828
Now, rolling in.

1498
01:22:46,895 --> 01:22:50,098
Oh, got caught with a stunner.
Gargano had it scouted.

1499
01:22:51,099 --> 01:22:54,502
These two aren't going to be very
friendly with one another.

1500
01:22:54,569 --> 01:22:57,105
Once this gets going little bit
into this matchup,

1501
01:22:57,172 --> 01:22:58,606
you're not going to see
a lot of headlocks,

1502
01:22:58,673 --> 01:23:00,508
you're not going to see
a lot of take downs.

1503
01:23:00,575 --> 01:23:03,578
You're going to see the environment
get used to their advantage

1504
01:23:03,645 --> 01:23:06,214
which is what we're starting
to see even more

1505
01:23:06,281 --> 01:23:08,850
now from Grayson Waller who continues
to just look around

1506
01:23:08,917 --> 01:23:11,219
for anything he can get his hands on.

1507
01:23:11,286 --> 01:23:12,654
[Book] You talk about construction.

1508
01:23:12,721 --> 01:23:15,256
The furniture will be moved
around like right now,

1509
01:23:15,323 --> 01:23:18,259
trying to get this desk back together.

1510
01:23:18,326 --> 01:23:21,796
[Vic] Book, Waller I think
was going to toss Gargano

1511
01:23:21,863 --> 01:23:23,732
over the top if he could.

1512
01:23:24,432 --> 01:23:28,370
Oh, Gargano realizing what
he's looking down,

1513
01:23:28,436 --> 01:23:30,472
and now what's on Johnny's mind?

1514
01:23:30,538 --> 01:23:31,606
[Book] Gargano's on fire.

1515
01:23:31,673 --> 01:23:33,875
The adrenaline right now is flowing
through Johnny Gargano.

1516
01:23:33,942 --> 01:23:35,443
You can see it.

1517
01:23:35,910 --> 01:23:39,247
[Vic] You take a look at Gargano.

1518
01:23:41,883 --> 01:23:48,390
[Crowd chants "holy --"]

1519
01:23:52,327 --> 01:23:55,764
[man 3] Take one more-- Bam. A nasty look.

1520
01:24:00,235 --> 01:24:04,139
[Vic] Again, nothing that happens
here NXT, WWE are liable for.

1521
01:24:04,205 --> 01:24:07,142
This is unsanctioned.
Both signed the contracts.

1522
01:24:07,208 --> 01:24:11,413
They could do anything
to the other with no repurcu--

1523
01:24:12,047 --> 01:24:15,383
[Book] say that, Vic.
Say that unsanctioned.

1524
01:24:15,450 --> 01:24:19,454
That let you know exactly what this man
Grayson Waller is all about.

1525
01:24:19,521 --> 01:24:23,224
He's not going to run away from a fight.
He's going to run straight to the fight,

1526
01:24:23,291 --> 01:24:25,894
and that could be very
dangerous for someone

1527
01:24:25,960 --> 01:24:30,565
like Johnny Gargano who's fighting with
a lot of emotion here tonight, Vic.

1528
01:24:30,632 --> 01:24:32,667
[Vic] Take a look at what he just did

1529
01:24:32,734 --> 01:24:35,070
to Johnny Gargano with that huge suplex.

1530
01:24:35,136 --> 01:24:38,373
You can see Gargano walking around,
and I don't think

1531
01:24:38,440 --> 01:24:41,242
Gargano really gives a damn anymore.

1532
01:24:42,277 --> 01:24:45,880
Johnny, willing to do whatever
it takes to himself to do one thing,

1533
01:24:45,947 --> 01:24:51,753
Book, that is destroy,
that is to humble Grayson Galler.

1534
01:24:51,820 --> 01:24:56,991
[Crowd chants, "Johnny table"]

1535
01:24:57,559 --> 01:25:00,195
[Book] Trying to fight through
the pain right now, Vic.

1536
01:25:00,261 --> 01:25:03,665
You can see he's clutching
at that lower back right now.

1537
01:25:03,731 --> 01:25:07,135
[Vic] If Gargano's going to go out,
he's going to go out in a Blaze of glory.

1538
01:25:07,202 --> 01:25:10,805
He thought he said goodbye
to NXT in December of 2021.

1539
01:25:10,872 --> 01:25:15,110
That's when Grayson Waller laid him out
with a chair shot right to the back.

1540
01:25:15,176 --> 01:25:18,379
Now, Grayson Waller with
something else on his mind.

1541
01:25:19,114 --> 01:25:23,451
[Book] Oh, he caught that knee right
to the face.

1542
01:25:23,918 --> 01:25:26,121
Oh, wow. I need to see that again, Vic.

1543
01:25:26,187 --> 01:25:28,223
[Vic] Again, the official
here just to count three

1544
01:25:28,289 --> 01:25:30,058
and to hear someone say they quit.

1545
01:25:30,125 --> 01:25:31,860
Here you go, Book.
You wanted in advance, you got it.

1546
01:25:31,926 --> 01:25:35,864
[Book] Oh, yes. Wow. Talking about a shot.

1547
01:25:37,398 --> 01:25:42,270
[Vic] Shot heard around
the world from Grayson Waller.

1548
01:25:43,037 --> 01:25:45,273
[Book] No, he's a fighter, Vic.

1549
01:25:45,340 --> 01:25:47,008
[Vic] Oh, we know what
he's doing as he's mocking

1550
01:25:47,075 --> 01:25:48,843
the "heartbreak kid" Shawn Michaels.

1551
01:25:48,910 --> 01:25:51,880
He's sending a message to Shawn Michaels
through Johnny Gargano,

1552
01:25:51,946 --> 01:25:53,982
but Gargano answered right back.

1553
01:25:54,048 --> 01:25:56,951
Waller jumping knee connects.
Gargano right back Enziguri.

1554
01:25:57,018 --> 01:25:57,952
[Book] Yes, indeed.

1555
01:25:58,019 --> 01:26:00,922
This thing is going back
and forth right now, and this kid,

1556
01:26:00,989 --> 01:26:02,891
Grayson Waller, he's holding his own, Vic.

1557
01:26:02,957 --> 01:26:05,894
He's a fighter, he's a fighter.

1558
01:26:05,960 --> 01:26:07,428
[Vic] We bring up Shawn Michaels.

1559
01:26:07,495 --> 01:26:10,765
I also want to remind everyone,
this all stems from Grayson Waller

1560
01:26:10,832 --> 01:26:14,169
not getting the job done, not winning
the championship at vengeance day.

1561
01:26:14,235 --> 01:26:18,206
Placing the blame on everyone else.
Right to the right hand.

1562
01:26:18,273 --> 01:26:20,808
Think about the punching,
think about the striking Waller does.

1563
01:26:20,875 --> 01:26:23,011
Gargano might've just isolated that.

1564
01:26:24,779 --> 01:26:27,916
[Book] That right there is not going
to matter now, Vic.

1565
01:26:27,982 --> 01:26:33,721
It's not going to matter because the ribs
of Johnny Gargano could be broken.

1566
01:26:33,788 --> 01:26:37,492
[Vic] We saw Candice Lerae, WWE superstar
in her own right from Monday night raw.

1567
01:26:37,559 --> 01:26:39,994
Quill their one-year-old son looking on.

1568
01:26:40,061 --> 01:26:43,431
They have been just a part of this as much
because Grayson Waller

1569
01:26:43,498 --> 01:26:47,201
has mocked anyone associated
with Gargano for weeks.

1570
01:26:47,268 --> 01:26:50,271
Candice, quill, they're fired up.

1571
01:26:50,338 --> 01:26:52,140
They want to see this come
to an end here tonight.

1572
01:26:52,206 --> 01:26:53,208
[Book] They should be fired up.

1573
01:26:53,274 --> 01:26:56,044
Candice, I'm sure she's going
through a lot of turmoil over

1574
01:26:56,110 --> 01:27:01,316
these last few weeks at the behest
of this one man, Grayson Waller.

1575
01:27:03,184 --> 01:27:08,022
[Vic] Now, again, Johnny feeling
the effects of this matchup early on.

1576
01:27:08,089 --> 01:27:10,959
This sort of environment,
which he has thrived in.

1577
01:27:13,361 --> 01:27:16,831
A couple of extra deep breaths because

1578
01:27:16,898 --> 01:27:20,802
Gargano-- Johnny realizing.

1579
01:27:21,936 --> 01:27:24,539
[Book] Smart right there by this kid,
Grayson Waller.

1580
01:27:24,606 --> 01:27:27,175
[Vic] Johnny realized Grayson
got off the table,

1581
01:27:27,242 --> 01:27:30,111
and it opens the door now for Waller.

1582
01:27:30,178 --> 01:27:32,914
[Book] Gargano walked right
into that right there too, Vic.

1583
01:27:32,981 --> 01:27:35,149
[Vic] This goes back to emotions.

1584
01:27:35,216 --> 01:27:37,752
Now, uh-oh, powerbomb.

1585
01:27:39,687 --> 01:27:43,057
[Book] We talked about emotional
rush that this kid is rolling on.

1586
01:27:43,124 --> 01:27:44,926
[Vic] Waller knows he's gotta
pin Gargano in the ring.

1587
01:27:44,993 --> 01:27:46,260
It's the only way he can win.

1588
01:27:46,327 --> 01:27:49,564
Here in Los Angeles,
this can't be end of the Gargano story,

1589
01:27:49,631 --> 01:27:52,634
and he got his left shoulder
up just in the Nick of time.

1590
01:27:52,700 --> 01:27:55,737
[Book] You're going to separate
Gargano from his senses before

1591
01:27:55,803 --> 01:27:58,573
he get pinned in the middle
of that ring tonight, Vic.

1592
01:27:58,640 --> 01:28:00,775
It's going to take a whole
lot more than that.

1593
01:28:04,479 --> 01:28:06,314
[Vic] This is just what Waller wanted.

1594
01:28:06,381 --> 01:28:09,717
He wanted Johnny Gargano to be laid out,

1595
01:28:09,784 --> 01:28:12,954
he wanted him to beg
for mercy so to speak.

1596
01:28:13,021 --> 01:28:15,056
[Book] He's got a attitude, Vic.

1597
01:28:15,123 --> 01:28:16,758
He's got a attitude like no other.

1598
01:28:20,595 --> 01:28:21,929
Yes.

1599
01:28:21,996 --> 01:28:25,500
Taking this kid to the woodshed, Vic.

1600
01:28:28,736 --> 01:28:32,974
[Vic] You could feel the air
here at Stand & Deliver almost

1601
01:28:33,041 --> 01:28:37,078
coming out of everybody because
Grayson Waller has turned this around.

1602
01:28:37,145 --> 01:28:39,814
Now, Grayson Waller hearing
it from the NXT Universe.

1603
01:28:39,881 --> 01:28:40,782
[Book] Not just that, Vic.

1604
01:28:40,848 --> 01:28:46,954
You could feel that adrenaline rush just
slowly, slowly leaving Gargano.

1605
01:28:47,021 --> 01:28:49,424
The momentum has shifted.

1606
01:28:49,991 --> 01:28:52,393
[Vic] Now through that chair,
that chair just damaged.

1607
01:28:52,460 --> 01:28:55,296
Into the cover, and a kick out, Book.
Look at the steel chair.

1608
01:28:55,363 --> 01:28:58,900
The steel chair was just bent
in all sorts of different positions.

1609
01:28:59,267 --> 01:29:05,606
Take one more look at the force
that Waller drove Gargano

1610
01:29:06,040 --> 01:29:08,943
through the chairs within--
Grayson smart enough to realize--

1611
01:29:09,010 --> 01:29:11,479
What happened earlier
to Gargano's lower back?

1612
01:29:11,546 --> 01:29:13,915
[Book] That adrenaline dump
is something real.

1613
01:29:14,215 --> 01:29:18,720
It could take you all the way to the end,

1614
01:29:18,786 --> 01:29:20,588
but sometime it could be that one thing,

1615
01:29:20,655 --> 01:29:24,692
that one thing that take everything out
of you at the same time.

1616
01:29:24,759 --> 01:29:28,496
[Vic] Book his has to be hard for quill
this has to be hard for Candice to watch.

1617
01:29:28,563 --> 01:29:32,667
Grayson Waller and Grayson loves it.
Grayson's loving it.

1618
01:29:32,734 --> 01:29:35,269
[Book] Quill won't remember any of this.

1619
01:29:46,547 --> 01:29:49,417
That's the good part about this.
Don't let the baby see this.

1620
01:29:53,187 --> 01:29:56,958
[Vic] How low can you go, Book?
Look at Waller.

1621
01:29:57,458 --> 01:29:59,560
This is getting real hard
to watch at this moment.

1622
01:29:59,627 --> 01:30:02,130
[Book] It's up close and personal
is what it is, Vic.

1623
01:30:02,196 --> 01:30:04,732
Have a look at your dad, quill.

1624
01:30:05,333 --> 01:30:09,337
[Vic] Put yourself, Book,
in Johnny Gargano's shoes.

1625
01:30:09,404 --> 01:30:11,572
[Book] I can't. I can't. I said it.

1626
01:30:11,639 --> 01:30:13,274
Grayson Waller, he crossed the line.

1627
01:30:16,778 --> 01:30:20,281
[Vic] No, come on.
You know how personal this is.

1628
01:30:20,348 --> 01:30:23,451
But really think about this. Oh.

1629
01:30:30,725 --> 01:30:32,427
Right back.

1630
01:30:32,493 --> 01:30:36,464
Gargano realizing,
starring and looking at quill.

1631
01:30:37,231 --> 01:30:39,567
He's doing this
for more than just himself.

1632
01:30:39,634 --> 01:30:42,737
[Book] Gargano better use
that kendo stick.

1633
01:30:49,043 --> 01:30:52,346
No rules. No rules, Vic.

1634
01:30:52,413 --> 01:30:54,715
[Vic] Oh, no, no, no. Johnny.

1635
01:30:54,782 --> 01:30:58,286
You just made the biggest mistake
of your life.

1636
01:31:01,022 --> 01:31:02,356
[Book] Wow.

1637
01:31:02,423 --> 01:31:05,626
[Vic] Well, you see the back
of Grayson Waller.

1638
01:31:05,693 --> 01:31:08,129
[Book] Oh my god, he is lit up, Vic.

1639
01:31:08,196 --> 01:31:11,632
[Vic] Could be one final beat
for Johnny Gargano.

1640
01:31:11,699 --> 01:31:13,668
Into the cover.

1641
01:31:17,171 --> 01:31:18,406
What?

1642
01:31:22,043 --> 01:31:25,179
Give the devil his credit.

1643
01:31:25,246 --> 01:31:29,750
Waller was able to kick out,
but Waller's back is destroyed.

1644
01:31:29,817 --> 01:31:33,120
One final beat, bang. Hit perfectly.

1645
01:31:33,187 --> 01:31:35,289
[Book] Thought that was it, Vic.

1646
01:31:35,356 --> 01:31:38,059
[Vic] It was not. Back to live action.

1647
01:31:38,125 --> 01:31:42,029
Gargano going up, going around,
trying to lock in the Gargano escape.

1648
01:31:42,096 --> 01:31:44,332
Now this, Book, may just be in.

1649
01:31:44,398 --> 01:31:47,969
How sweet would it be
for Grayson Waller to tap?

1650
01:31:48,035 --> 01:31:50,071
[Book] This is like putting icing
on the cake right there.

1651
01:31:50,137 --> 01:31:51,906
Oh no. Yes.

1652
01:31:51,973 --> 01:31:55,309
[Vic] The referee can't do anything
because it's all legal.

1653
01:31:58,946 --> 01:32:03,117
Grayson Waller, up and over.

1654
01:32:03,417 --> 01:32:05,286
this hasn't been pretty at all.

1655
01:32:05,353 --> 01:32:07,588
[Book] Look at the back of Grayson Waller.

1656
01:32:07,655 --> 01:32:10,892
It's like chopped-up hamburger,
but he's still in the fight.

1657
01:32:10,958 --> 01:32:14,695
[Vic] We didn't know what we were
getting ready to witness between

1658
01:32:14,762 --> 01:32:20,134
these two all week long we you and I were
talking about this unsanctioned matchup.

1659
01:32:20,201 --> 01:32:22,770
You can see the back of Grayson Waller.

1660
01:32:22,837 --> 01:32:28,042
You've seen the risks both these men
have been willing to take.

1661
01:32:29,176 --> 01:32:33,814
You take a look at NXT universe again
on their feet here for Stand & Deliver.

1662
01:32:33,881 --> 01:32:37,618
[Book] Yes, the lengths that this man,
Grayson Waller, is willing to go to.

1663
01:32:37,685 --> 01:32:38,753
[Vic] Johnny can't even stand.

1664
01:32:38,819 --> 01:32:41,923
[Book] He want's to embarrass
this kid, Johnny Gargano.

1665
01:32:41,989 --> 01:32:46,160
He doesn't want to just beat him,
he wants to humiliate Johnny Gargano.

1666
01:32:46,227 --> 01:32:49,063
[Vic] He wants to do it on a stage
like Wrestlemania Saturday.

1667
01:32:49,130 --> 01:32:51,265
He wants to do it in front
of Johnny's wife.

1668
01:32:51,332 --> 01:32:54,702
In front of Johnny's family,
including his one-year-old son.

1669
01:32:54,769 --> 01:32:57,438
Waller can barely walk, but Garyson--

1670
01:32:57,505 --> 01:33:03,044
[Book] oh, coast-to-coast time, Vic.
We in Hollywood.

1671
01:33:03,110 --> 01:33:08,049
[Vic] No risk he won't take
for that viral moment.

1672
01:33:08,115 --> 01:33:11,986
[Book] Pacific coast. Oh, wait, baby.
We just took a ride.

1673
01:33:15,756 --> 01:33:18,793
[Vic] Gargano just kicked out.

1674
01:33:18,859 --> 01:33:20,094
[Book] Wow.

1675
01:33:20,161 --> 01:33:23,397
[Vic] Book, you like to use
the word fight. This fight is continuing.

1676
01:33:23,464 --> 01:33:24,632
[Book] It is, it is.

1677
01:33:24,699 --> 01:33:27,401
[Vic] What is it going to take,
though, to keep the other one down?

1678
01:33:27,468 --> 01:33:33,474
[Book] Like I said Grayson Waller just
took a ride down to pacific coast highway.

1679
01:33:33,541 --> 01:33:34,976
That didn't work.

1680
01:33:35,042 --> 01:33:37,311
[Vic] Book, Book, Book.

1681
01:33:41,849 --> 01:33:43,517
Come on.

1682
01:33:43,584 --> 01:33:45,486
[Book] This your guy?

1683
01:33:56,330 --> 01:33:58,899
[Vic] Book.

1684
01:33:58,966 --> 01:34:00,968
[Book] Don't ask me, man. It's your guy.

1685
01:34:09,744 --> 01:34:12,046
[Vic] Johnny's not moving right
here in front of us.

1686
01:34:12,113 --> 01:34:13,147
[Book] Of course, he's not moving.

1687
01:34:13,214 --> 01:34:16,283
[Vic] We talk about those viral moments.
Waller's looking for one.

1688
01:34:16,350 --> 01:34:18,152
He's looking for another one.

1689
01:34:18,219 --> 01:34:21,422
My house, Johnny. My house.

1690
01:34:24,558 --> 01:34:30,931
[Vic] Oh, Gargano somehow,
someway, staying in this.

1691
01:34:33,968 --> 01:34:38,472
What's Johnny doing? Yes, yes. Yes.

1692
01:34:40,441 --> 01:34:42,076
[Book] Whoa.

1693
01:34:54,121 --> 01:34:57,258
[Vic] You hear Grayson Waller screaming.

1694
01:35:14,709 --> 01:35:16,110
Book, you got me?

1695
01:35:16,177 --> 01:35:17,278
[Book] I got you.

1696
01:35:17,344 --> 01:35:20,281
[Vic] Destroying our-- hey,
going low. A low blow.

1697
01:35:20,347 --> 01:35:23,150
[Book] What are you talking about?
It's legal, Vic. Come on.

1698
01:35:23,217 --> 01:35:24,819
[Vic] I know it's legal.

1699
01:35:24,885 --> 01:35:27,188
[Vic] Now coming in pinning that stunner.

1700
01:35:27,254 --> 01:35:28,122
[Book] Wow.

1701
01:35:28,189 --> 01:35:29,657
[Vic] Into the cover.

1702
01:35:29,724 --> 01:35:31,692
[Book] That could be it. That could be it.

1703
01:35:31,759 --> 01:35:34,795
[Vic] Gargano, again,
just able to kick out.

1704
01:35:34,862 --> 01:35:36,297
[Book] What a kick-out, Vic.

1705
01:35:36,697 --> 01:35:39,166
These two young men
are fighting to the end.

1706
01:35:41,001 --> 01:35:45,106
[Vic] I'm looking around,
our table busted, you got knocked down.

1707
01:35:45,172 --> 01:35:46,974
I don't know if my audio's
even working right now.

1708
01:35:47,041 --> 01:35:48,175
They destroyed my headset.

1709
01:35:48,242 --> 01:35:50,311
[Book] You're good, you're good.

1710
01:35:51,112 --> 01:35:53,647
Right now Grayson Waller, like I say, Vic,

1711
01:35:53,714 --> 01:35:57,384
he's doing everything
to put Johnny Gargano out.

1712
01:36:05,259 --> 01:36:07,128
[Vic] Oh, wow.

1713
01:36:10,498 --> 01:36:16,036
[Book] With one thunderous chair shot,
Waller silencing Los Angeles.

1714
01:36:16,103 --> 01:36:17,872
[Vic] Oh man.

1715
01:36:19,573 --> 01:36:22,877
[Book] The referee can't do
a damn thing about it.

1716
01:36:27,882 --> 01:36:32,119
[Vic] Grayson Waller just
collapsed right there.

1717
01:36:32,186 --> 01:36:33,821
This thing right now, Vic.

1718
01:36:34,588 --> 01:36:38,225
For 16 months I run NXT.

1719
01:36:38,959 --> 01:36:42,096
You are nothing. You are not on my level.

1720
01:36:45,699 --> 01:36:49,436
[Vic] There's no depths, we said,
Gargano wasn't willing to go.

1721
01:36:49,503 --> 01:36:51,572
Book, it's all legal.

1722
01:36:51,639 --> 01:36:52,873
[Book] You know what?

1723
01:36:52,940 --> 01:36:55,342
I'm not mad at Johnny Gargano.

1724
01:36:55,409 --> 01:36:56,877
[Vic] There's a payback.

1725
01:36:57,711 --> 01:36:58,646
[Book] Oh wow.

1726
01:36:58,712 --> 01:37:02,950
[Vic] From 16 months ago, from
the front yard, for quill, for Candice.

1727
01:37:08,689 --> 01:37:10,357
He got another one.

1728
01:37:10,424 --> 01:37:12,226
[Vic] Oh my god, man.

1729
01:37:12,526 --> 01:37:16,330
[Book] He is beating Waller to hell.

1730
01:37:19,867 --> 01:37:26,106
I've never seen Johnny Gargano
in this state of mind ever in my life.

1731
01:37:29,210 --> 01:37:31,745
[Vic] Oh, wow.

1732
01:37:33,814 --> 01:37:36,417
Into the Gargano escape.

1733
01:37:36,483 --> 01:37:43,224
Waller, squeeze, squeeze.
Waller had to tap.

1734
01:37:43,290 --> 01:37:44,959
[Bell rings]

1735
01:37:45,025 --> 01:37:46,827
[Johnny Gargano's music plays]

1736
01:37:46,894 --> 01:37:53,667
[man 2] Here is your winner
by submission, Johnny Gargano.

1737
01:37:53,734 --> 01:37:55,970
[Vic] I got no monitor.

1738
01:37:56,036 --> 01:37:58,539
I got no table, but I'm looking
up in the ring right now.

1739
01:37:58,606 --> 01:38:05,579
I have never in my life seen that look
in Johnny Gargano's eyes.

1740
01:38:05,646 --> 01:38:07,314
[Vic] Effort.

1741
01:38:07,381 --> 01:38:09,183
[Book] Big props to Johnny Gargano
going out there

1742
01:38:09,250 --> 01:38:12,253
fighting not just for himself,
Vic, but for his family.

1743
01:38:12,620 --> 01:38:15,689
You got to love it. Wow.

1744
01:38:27,201 --> 01:38:30,237
[Book] We saw a lot of difficult
things in this matchup,

1745
01:38:30,304 --> 01:38:31,939
but look at Candice Lerae.

1746
01:38:32,006 --> 01:38:35,142
She had enough of what Grayson Waller
put her family through,

1747
01:38:35,209 --> 01:38:38,412
and boy did she got to town
on Grayson Waller.

1748
01:38:38,479 --> 01:38:39,413
[Vic] Oh, yes.

1749
01:38:39,480 --> 01:38:41,949
[Book] That was until Waller
was able to get a one-up,

1750
01:38:42,016 --> 01:38:45,786
and it wasn't the biggest mistake,
it was his.

1751
01:38:45,853 --> 01:38:49,490
It was the biggest mistake
of Waller's career 16 months ago.

1752
01:38:49,556 --> 01:38:52,293
We talk about viral moments,
Grayson Waller

1753
01:38:52,359 --> 01:38:55,462
delivered a few of those tonight
including coast-to-coast.

1754
01:38:55,529 --> 01:38:59,533
In that moment, Johnny Gargano
could've been wiped out,

1755
01:38:59,600 --> 01:39:03,804
and then bam, that patented rolling-in
stunner from Grayson Waller--

1756
01:39:04,004 --> 01:39:07,341
But Johnny Gargano would not be denied.

1757
01:39:07,408 --> 01:39:12,846
Johnny Gargano then would go out
and just beat down Grayson Waller

1758
01:39:12,913 --> 01:39:17,284
with chair shot, after chair shot
and finally Grayson Waller

1759
01:39:17,351 --> 01:39:19,753
had no choice but to tap.

1760
01:39:24,825 --> 01:39:27,394
How good it must feel for Johnny.

1761
01:39:27,461 --> 01:39:33,434
As a superstar, he will move on,
but as the symbol of NXT,

1762
01:39:33,500 --> 01:39:37,338
Johnny Gargano will live forever.

1763
01:39:43,143 --> 01:39:47,414
What a moment for Indi Hartwell,
who certainly has followed

1764
01:39:47,481 --> 01:39:52,186
the way of Johnny Gargano
to her own championship

1765
01:39:52,252 --> 01:39:56,023
dreams here tonight at Stand & Deliver.

1766
01:39:56,090 --> 01:39:59,994
[Crowd cheers]

1767
01:40:03,964 --> 01:40:05,933
Where the hell did he come from, huh?

1768
01:40:06,900 --> 01:40:09,269
We gave him everything
under the sun and what?

1769
01:40:09,336 --> 01:40:12,039
I let you down, man.
I let the family down.

1770
01:40:12,106 --> 01:40:14,508
You didn't let anybody down. We're a team.

1771
01:40:14,575 --> 01:40:16,310
How many times I got to tell you that?
Right?

1772
01:40:16,377 --> 01:40:18,112
Yes, boys.

1773
01:40:18,178 --> 01:40:22,950
We're back with Tony D
and Stacks for another exclusive.

1774
01:40:23,017 --> 01:40:24,985
Looking for a lovely
little scoopy scoop here.

1775
01:40:25,486 --> 01:40:28,389
Boys, if we may, your hopes
and dreams of becoming

1776
01:40:28,455 --> 01:40:32,359
the NXT tag team champions
have just come crashing down.

1777
01:40:32,426 --> 01:40:35,496
You must be feeling terrible.
Tell us all about it.

1778
01:40:35,562 --> 01:40:36,964
It wasn't our night.

1779
01:40:37,031 --> 01:40:41,735
We're not going to make excuses,
but Stand & Deliver, whatever.

1780
01:40:41,802 --> 01:40:46,040
Where we come from, we're not quitters.
You understand?

1781
01:40:46,106 --> 01:40:47,007
Wow.

1782
01:40:47,074 --> 01:40:49,777
Very, very motivating words
from the Don himself.

1783
01:40:49,843 --> 01:40:50,677
I'm moved.

1784
01:40:50,744 --> 01:40:51,912
Don't listen to these two nuts.

1785
01:40:51,979 --> 01:40:54,048
I let you down and I let the family down.

1786
01:40:54,114 --> 01:40:56,216
How many times I got to tell you, huh?

1787
01:40:56,283 --> 01:40:58,652
Get that out of your head. We're a team.

1788
01:40:59,686 --> 01:41:01,789
You're a team. That's enough of that.

1789
01:41:01,855 --> 01:41:04,124
Booker and Vic, that's all we've got time
for here in the locker room.

1790
01:41:04,191 --> 01:41:05,859
Tony and Stacks have proven
that the only team

1791
01:41:05,926 --> 01:41:07,361
that can beat Gallus is well, yours truly.

1792
01:41:07,428 --> 01:41:08,262
Hey.

1793
01:41:08,328 --> 01:41:09,863
What?

1794
01:41:10,130 --> 01:41:11,598
You're going to come in here and ask
stupid questions

1795
01:41:11,665 --> 01:41:13,033
like that and make a comment, huh?

1796
01:41:13,100 --> 01:41:15,302
Don't point at him. As well don't use
that tone.

1797
01:41:30,050 --> 01:41:32,286
[Vic] Book, what a night it has been

1798
01:41:32,352 --> 01:41:36,623
and we still have two more championship
matches here at Stand & Deliver.

1799
01:41:36,690 --> 01:41:38,392
[Book] Hey, man.
We're just getting started.

1800
01:41:46,366 --> 01:41:48,435
[man 2] The following contest scheduled or

1801
01:41:48,502 --> 01:41:53,507
one fall is for the NXT Women's
Tag Team Championship.

1802
01:41:55,042 --> 01:42:01,515
Introducing first the challengers,
Alba Fyre and Isla Dawn.

1803
01:42:32,179 --> 01:42:35,282
[Vic] When it comes to Dawn and Fyre,

1804
01:42:35,349 --> 01:42:40,621
they certainly have seemed
to put some sort of hex on NXT.

1805
01:42:40,687 --> 01:42:44,258
Look at the officials we've seen
what Isla Dawn has done.

1806
01:42:44,324 --> 01:42:47,060
Tatum Paxley, Ivy Nile, maybe
the entire tag team division.

1807
01:42:47,127 --> 01:42:48,295
This is scary.

1808
01:42:48,362 --> 01:42:50,731
[Book] Yes, the unknown, the mystique--

1809
01:42:50,797 --> 01:42:52,332
[Book] the unholy union, so to speak.

1810
01:42:52,399 --> 01:42:54,434
[Vic] The mystique
of these two right here.

1811
01:42:54,501 --> 01:42:57,738
Dawn and Fyre tonight are looking
to burn it down

1812
01:42:57,804 --> 01:43:02,843
and walk away and the new.
Oh, yes, it could happen.

1813
01:43:03,410 --> 01:43:05,179
It definitely could happen.

1814
01:43:12,152 --> 01:43:16,390
[Book] Their opponents, accompanied
by Josh Briggs and Brooks Jensen

1815
01:43:16,456 --> 01:43:20,727
they are the NXT Women's
Tag Team Champions,

1816
01:43:20,794 --> 01:43:25,365
Fallon Henley and Kiana James.

1817
01:43:25,666 --> 01:43:29,736
[Vic] I don't want to throw out
the obvious, Book, but no way

1818
01:43:29,803 --> 01:43:31,805
the champions will be
on the same page tonight.

1819
01:43:31,872 --> 01:43:34,675
They're already bickering
as they come through.

1820
01:43:34,741 --> 01:43:40,214
Fallon Henley trying to get Kiana James
to tell Brooks Jensen

1821
01:43:40,280 --> 01:43:41,915
but then there was the kiss
heard around the world,

1822
01:43:41,982 --> 01:43:44,985
and now-- already shoving
each other, but I believe,

1823
01:43:45,052 --> 01:43:48,789
that was James trying to save Henley
in the early going of this matchup.

1824
01:43:48,855 --> 01:43:50,390
[Book] I agree with you 100%, Vic.

1825
01:43:50,457 --> 01:43:52,192
You got to be totally focused.

1826
01:43:52,259 --> 01:43:55,495
When you got Brooks Jensen and Josh Briggs
out here having fun

1827
01:43:55,562 --> 01:43:58,932
like it's a party, no, no, no,
it can't happen like that.

1828
01:43:58,999 --> 01:44:00,133
[Vic] Right now, there is the bell.

1829
01:44:00,200 --> 01:44:03,937
This match officially underway
for the NXT Women's Tag Team titles.

1830
01:44:04,004 --> 01:44:07,541
Of course, we crowned a new
NXT Women's Champion earlier tonight.

1831
01:44:07,608 --> 01:44:10,043
You just saw her a few moments ago,
that being in Indi Hartwell.

1832
01:44:10,110 --> 01:44:13,413
Will we see new champions
here this evening once again?

1833
01:44:14,615 --> 01:44:16,016
A quick up and down. Into the cover.

1834
01:44:16,083 --> 01:44:19,653
Hook of the leg, and a near fall
to retain the title.

1835
01:44:19,720 --> 01:44:21,989
There is inner turmoil for Fallon Henley.

1836
01:44:22,055 --> 01:44:25,759
She wants to stay a champion, but just
wants to be honest with Brooks Jensen.

1837
01:44:25,826 --> 01:44:31,231
[Book] One thing we know about
Fallon Henley, she's a boss.

1838
01:44:31,298 --> 01:44:34,835
She knows about going out there
and get the paperwork done.

1839
01:44:34,901 --> 01:44:36,737
Tonight is going to be a test.

1840
01:44:36,803 --> 01:44:37,871
[Vic] Well, a tag was made,

1841
01:44:37,938 --> 01:44:41,308
and Henley didn't realize
it that Alba Fyre is indeed legal.

1842
01:44:41,375 --> 01:44:42,809
[Book] Oh, wow.

1843
01:44:43,377 --> 01:44:45,412
[Vic] Defeated two other teams,
did the challengers,

1844
01:44:45,479 --> 01:44:49,549
to earn the opportunity at this matchup
here at Stand & Deliver,

1845
01:44:49,616 --> 01:44:52,853
and a vicious knee right to the back
of the neck and another near fall.

1846
01:44:52,919 --> 01:44:55,922
Almost crowning New Tag Team Champions.

1847
01:44:55,989 --> 01:44:59,826
Look, we've seen them manipulate,
as we talked about Paxley and Nile.

1848
01:44:59,893 --> 01:45:02,663
We've seen them try to drive
a wedge between others,

1849
01:45:02,729 --> 01:45:04,264
that being Dawn and Fyre.

1850
01:45:04,331 --> 01:45:07,134
They didn't really have to do much against
the champions here tonight

1851
01:45:07,200 --> 01:45:11,071
because, again, they are not on the same
page since the beginning of this matchup.

1852
01:45:11,138 --> 01:45:12,306
[Book] Yes, we saw--

1853
01:45:12,372 --> 01:45:13,440
[Vic] cover, cover, cover.

1854
01:45:13,507 --> 01:45:15,308
Hook of both legs and another near fall.

1855
01:45:15,375 --> 01:45:17,377
[Book] We saw Alba Fyre
and Isla Dawn at the beginning,

1856
01:45:17,444 --> 01:45:20,580
it seemed like it was turmoil between
those two, but for me, Vic,

1857
01:45:20,647 --> 01:45:23,150
it seemed like they were cut
from the same cloth,

1858
01:45:23,216 --> 01:45:25,318
and now as a tag team, it seems like

1859
01:45:25,385 --> 01:45:30,023
they could be the most dominant
Tag Team here in NXT.

1860
01:45:30,657 --> 01:45:35,228
[Vic] We talk about the situation
for Kiana James and Fallon Henley

1861
01:45:35,295 --> 01:45:38,031
I'm sure Iala Dawn and Alba Fyre
are probably upset

1862
01:45:38,098 --> 01:45:41,234
that they didn't scheme up Kiana's
intentions themselves.

1863
01:45:41,301 --> 01:45:43,837
Alleged intentions, I might add.

1864
01:45:43,904 --> 01:45:45,772
[Book] Like I say, Vic, you got
to stay focused,

1865
01:45:45,839 --> 01:45:48,809
and right now it's about
Standing and Deliver.

1866
01:45:48,875 --> 01:45:51,211
Who's going to walk away
the tag team champion?

1867
01:45:51,278 --> 01:45:52,279
Oh, so close.

1868
01:45:52,346 --> 01:45:54,614
[Vic] The tandem offense
and another near fall.

1869
01:45:54,681 --> 01:45:58,051
[Vic] Kiana James just able
to get in, but Kiana James,

1870
01:45:58,118 --> 01:46:02,589
still favoring her back from just before
the bell in this matchup.

1871
01:46:02,656 --> 01:46:07,227
Oh, taken a nasty fall.
She's trying to get back on the same page.

1872
01:46:07,294 --> 01:46:09,096
She's trying to get back
into this matchup.

1873
01:46:09,162 --> 01:46:11,465
[Book] Alba Fyre is looking
to takeover, like I said,

1874
01:46:11,531 --> 01:46:15,635
if not the singles division, this tag
team division will do just fine.

1875
01:46:17,037 --> 01:46:18,572
[Vic] Swing and a miss, and Henley now.

1876
01:46:18,872 --> 01:46:22,309
Oh, double almost knocking herself back

1877
01:46:22,375 --> 01:46:24,911
and almost knocking herself out,
but so much sticking gout.

1878
01:46:24,978 --> 01:46:26,813
[Book] So close to tag, Vic. So close.

1879
01:46:26,880 --> 01:46:29,916
[Vic] She's listening to Jensen.
She's listening to Briggs.

1880
01:46:30,384 --> 01:46:31,952
She's right there. She's reaching out.

1881
01:46:32,018 --> 01:46:34,287
Isla Dawn realizing
that this golden moment

1882
01:46:34,354 --> 01:46:37,391
could be slipping through
the dark hands of Fyre and Dawn.

1883
01:46:37,457 --> 01:46:38,525
Get there and made the tag.

1884
01:46:38,592 --> 01:46:40,127
[Book] Here we go. Here comes this other.

1885
01:46:40,193 --> 01:46:44,030
That second boss is in. Oh, yes.

1886
01:46:44,331 --> 01:46:46,933
[Vic] Kiana James cleaning
up everything right now.

1887
01:46:47,000 --> 01:46:50,137
Kiana James has seen some evil
in the rooms

1888
01:46:50,203 --> 01:46:52,305
she's been conducting her business deals.

1889
01:46:52,372 --> 01:46:55,075
She's gone up against some
shady individuals,

1890
01:46:55,142 --> 01:46:58,178
but she's never gone up against
anything like Fyre and Dawn.

1891
01:46:58,245 --> 01:47:02,315
[Book] Right now she on fire, though,
Vic, right now, it's one of the things.

1892
01:47:02,382 --> 01:47:04,851
You can have problems,
may Hem outside the ring,

1893
01:47:04,918 --> 01:47:08,188
but inside the ring if you can pull
it all together for that one moment,

1894
01:47:08,255 --> 01:47:10,991
it could be great. Check it out. Oh, yes.

1895
01:47:11,057 --> 01:47:15,595
[Vic] Taking out the field again
for James.

1896
01:47:15,929 --> 01:47:20,200
I know Fallon Henley seems uncertain about
everything that's gone on even

1897
01:47:20,267 --> 01:47:22,936
since the beginning but she's got
to be looking right now.

1898
01:47:23,003 --> 01:47:24,771
She's got to be thinking
about wanting to maintain

1899
01:47:24,838 --> 01:47:27,541
and retain the NXT Women's
Tag Team titles.

1900
01:47:27,607 --> 01:47:29,042
[Book] I was talking about minding
your business, Vic.

1901
01:47:29,109 --> 01:47:31,111
That's one thing that this
team needs to think about,

1902
01:47:31,178 --> 01:47:32,612
minding their own business.

1903
01:47:32,679 --> 01:47:35,849
Think about what the job at hand
is and that's holding

1904
01:47:35,916 --> 01:47:38,151
on to those championships.

1905
01:47:38,218 --> 01:47:39,619
[Vic] Left shoulder getting up.

1906
01:47:39,686 --> 01:47:42,355
Look, Fallon's in tuition maybe was right.

1907
01:47:42,422 --> 01:47:44,825
She thought James was up
the shenanigans and she really wasn't.

1908
01:47:44,891 --> 01:47:46,326
[Book] Who cares, Vic? Who cares?

1909
01:47:46,760 --> 01:47:49,129
[Vic] That's what I'm saying. Now,
she's looking at a name like Sebastian.

1910
01:47:49,196 --> 01:47:51,097
She's got a block out that noise.

1911
01:47:51,164 --> 01:47:53,366
Is that going to be too much
for the champions to overcome?

1912
01:47:53,433 --> 01:47:55,569
They seem to be rocking
and rolling right now,

1913
01:47:55,635 --> 01:47:57,437
but you know how things can change
in a heartbeat.

1914
01:47:57,504 --> 01:47:59,206
Cover and another near fall.

1915
01:47:59,272 --> 01:48:00,474
[Book] You know what
I say about girlfriends,

1916
01:48:00,540 --> 01:48:03,910
you go looking through your man's phone,
you're going to find something,

1917
01:48:03,977 --> 01:48:05,378
if you're looking for it.

1918
01:48:05,445 --> 01:48:07,814
[Vic] Henley trying to get back
into the match, able to catch,

1919
01:48:07,881 --> 01:48:11,117
the right foot of Fyre, and answers
back with a big right hand,

1920
01:48:11,184 --> 01:48:15,121
and the champions now, maybe they
have found that rhythm in the matchup.

1921
01:48:16,056 --> 01:48:19,259
Right back in and taking it done
with a lot of force, was Henley.

1922
01:48:19,326 --> 01:48:20,627
Another swing and a miss.

1923
01:48:20,694 --> 01:48:24,030
[Book] Riding the same page right now,
Kiana James and Fallon Henley.

1924
01:48:24,097 --> 01:48:27,534
[Vic] Henley and James,
they know what sort of darkness

1925
01:48:27,601 --> 01:48:30,937
the women's division could fall
into if the titles change hands,

1926
01:48:31,004 --> 01:48:33,940
and the referee's being distracted
because of James,

1927
01:48:34,007 --> 01:48:36,109
not realizing it's two-on-one assault.

1928
01:48:36,176 --> 01:48:39,112
[Book] By any means necessary, Vic.
By any means.

1929
01:48:39,179 --> 01:48:43,250
That's what Isla Dawn is about.
That's what Alba Fyre is all about.

1930
01:48:43,316 --> 01:48:44,251
Winning.

1931
01:48:44,317 --> 01:48:45,886
[Vic] I want to ask you this too.

1932
01:48:45,952 --> 01:48:49,222
What if Fyre and Dawn become champions?

1933
01:48:49,289 --> 01:48:52,826
What if that dark cloud now hangs
over the women's division?

1934
01:48:52,893 --> 01:48:54,928
[Book] Yes, it will be a dark day
in the tag team division,

1935
01:48:54,995 --> 01:48:59,599
but Isla Dawn and Alba Fyre will be
in position that they'd love to be in.

1936
01:48:59,666 --> 01:49:01,735
[Vic] That was a Nasty landing.

1937
01:49:01,801 --> 01:49:02,969
[Book] Here we go. Oh, yes.

1938
01:49:03,036 --> 01:49:06,172
[Vic] Right back around
a little blockbuster into the cover.

1939
01:49:06,239 --> 01:49:07,607
Hook on both legs.

1940
01:49:07,841 --> 01:49:10,243
Isla dawn able to kick out
at about two and a half.

1941
01:49:10,710 --> 01:49:12,879
[Book] What a great move,
though, by Fallon Henley.

1942
01:49:13,079 --> 01:49:16,616
[Vic] The presence of mind,
up, taking her down.

1943
01:49:16,683 --> 01:49:18,318
[Book] Easily could have been
a three-count, Vic.

1944
01:49:18,385 --> 01:49:19,986
[Vic] For a moment, I thought
Henley was going to try

1945
01:49:20,053 --> 01:49:22,322
to come out towards Alba Fyre
and isolate her even more.

1946
01:49:22,389 --> 01:49:25,558
Turned her attention in a split second
back to Isla Dawn.

1947
01:49:26,226 --> 01:49:29,496
Briggs and Jensen besides themselves,
with the official,

1948
01:49:29,563 --> 01:49:32,632
who, again, is not seeing things
because of the manipulation

1949
01:49:32,699 --> 01:49:35,535
between Dawn and Fyre in this matchup.

1950
01:49:35,602 --> 01:49:38,038
[Book] No, no Vic. That's the efficacy
in this tag team right there.

1951
01:49:38,104 --> 01:49:41,107
Isla dawn and Alba Fyre working
perfectly together.

1952
01:49:41,174 --> 01:49:45,478
Like I said, they could be
the ultimate tag team here in NXT.

1953
01:49:45,545 --> 01:49:46,913
Oh, yes.

1954
01:49:46,980 --> 01:49:50,884
[Vic] This unholy union
could be three seconds away.

1955
01:49:52,819 --> 01:49:56,022
James saw it slipping away,
and you see Jensen,

1956
01:49:56,089 --> 01:49:57,657
you see Briggs on the outside

1957
01:49:57,724 --> 01:49:59,526
trying to give that extra advantage
to the champions.

1958
01:49:59,593 --> 01:50:01,361
[Book] You can tell Kiana James
does not want to give up

1959
01:50:01,428 --> 01:50:04,197
those championships easily here tonight.

1960
01:50:04,264 --> 01:50:06,633
Tonight, it's about trying to get
on the same page,

1961
01:50:07,000 --> 01:50:10,704
trying to find that levity, and right
now don't seem to be able to do it.

1962
01:50:12,606 --> 01:50:15,442
[Vic] Briggs looking up.
Briggs can't do anything.

1963
01:50:15,508 --> 01:50:18,178
Jensen can't do anything. Jensen's trying
to rally Kiana James.

1964
01:50:18,244 --> 01:50:20,180
[Book] Too much talking.
Too much talking outside, Vic.

1965
01:50:20,246 --> 01:50:21,348
Too much talking. Too many distractions.

1966
01:50:21,414 --> 01:50:22,282
[Vic] Well, what do you want them to do?

1967
01:50:22,349 --> 01:50:23,483
[Book] Too many distractions, Vic.

1968
01:50:23,550 --> 01:50:25,085
[Vic] They don't want to get disqualified.

1969
01:50:25,151 --> 01:50:28,088
They want to do it the right way
and now being able to get back in.

1970
01:50:28,154 --> 01:50:31,157
A lot going on over in that corner. Tag.

1971
01:50:31,224 --> 01:50:32,959
There's a tag. Kiana James is legal.

1972
01:50:33,026 --> 01:50:34,294
Book, James is legal.

1973
01:50:36,096 --> 01:50:37,597
Oh.

1974
01:50:38,031 --> 01:50:41,501
What is the conniving Kiana up to now?

1975
01:50:42,068 --> 01:50:43,036
Book.

1976
01:50:43,103 --> 01:50:45,605
[Book] Working on the same page right now.

1977
01:50:45,672 --> 01:50:48,908
[Vic] They are on the same page.
Cover to retain.

1978
01:50:48,975 --> 01:50:50,577
Isla dawn.

1979
01:50:53,079 --> 01:50:54,981
Take nothing away from that moment.

1980
01:50:55,181 --> 01:50:56,316
I thought that was it.

1981
01:50:56,383 --> 01:50:58,351
I thought they finally got
on the same page.

1982
01:50:58,418 --> 01:51:01,087
I thought they were able
for a moment to sync up.

1983
01:51:02,689 --> 01:51:04,791
[Book] Isla dawn just happened
to be at the right place

1984
01:51:04,858 --> 01:51:06,359
at the right time right there, Vic,

1985
01:51:06,426 --> 01:51:08,495
and that's what the tag team
division is all about.

1986
01:51:08,561 --> 01:51:11,831
You got to isolate that one man,
get him in the right position

1987
01:51:11,898 --> 01:51:13,433
if you're going to get that pinfall.

1988
01:51:14,834 --> 01:51:17,637
[Vic] James back to the eyes,
ripping at the face.

1989
01:51:17,704 --> 01:51:22,142
Great gord buster by Alba Fyre.
Tag was made.

1990
01:51:22,208 --> 01:51:25,378
The referee did not see
the thumb into the eye.

1991
01:51:25,445 --> 01:51:27,080
[Book] Double knees right there, Vic.

1992
01:51:27,514 --> 01:51:29,749
[Vic] Oh, double super kick.

1993
01:51:29,983 --> 01:51:31,451
Another cover, another count.

1994
01:51:31,518 --> 01:51:33,219
[Book] Kiana James, this could be it.

1995
01:51:33,286 --> 01:51:34,788
[Book] Whoa, so close.

1996
01:51:34,854 --> 01:51:37,157
[Vic] Just able to overpower Fyre,

1997
01:51:37,223 --> 01:51:40,560
was Henley, and you can see Briggs.

1998
01:51:40,627 --> 01:51:44,597
Briggs is almost sweating through
that velour that he's wearing.

1999
01:51:44,664 --> 01:51:46,966
[Book] A lot of cheerleading going
on the outside of the ring,

2000
01:51:47,033 --> 01:51:50,303
Vic, but like I said, that could be
a distraction at the same time.

2001
01:51:50,370 --> 01:51:52,872
The mental focus is just not there.

2002
01:51:53,039 --> 01:51:56,609
[Vic] That also could be what puts
the champions over the edge,

2003
01:51:57,444 --> 01:52:02,449
what puts them past the finish line
to help them retain the title.

2004
01:52:02,515 --> 01:52:04,017
[Book] That cheerleading?

2005
01:52:04,384 --> 01:52:05,318
Kiana's--

2006
01:52:05,385 --> 01:52:06,886
please, give me the bag, Brooks.
I need it.

2007
01:52:06,953 --> 01:52:08,521
[Vic] Hey, hey. Don't do it.

2008
01:52:08,588 --> 01:52:09,422
I need it to win.

2009
01:52:10,757 --> 01:52:11,991
Don't do it.

2010
01:52:12,058 --> 01:52:13,093
[Book] Just give her the bag.

2011
01:52:13,159 --> 01:52:14,728
[Vic] Listen to her. Listen to her.
Don't do it.

2012
01:52:14,794 --> 01:52:15,895
Please give me the bag.

2013
01:52:16,196 --> 01:52:19,666
[Book] You better not do this, man.
You better not do it.

2014
01:52:19,732 --> 01:52:22,736
[Vic] Well, we talk about wanting
to do it the right way for Henley.

2015
01:52:22,802 --> 01:52:25,371
I don't necessarily know what
James was asking for and why.

2016
01:52:25,438 --> 01:52:28,341
Briggs didn't like it, but Dawn, Fyre.

2017
01:52:28,408 --> 01:52:32,378
Oh, backstabber holding onto James.

2018
01:52:32,445 --> 01:52:33,847
Fyre off the top.

2019
01:52:33,913 --> 01:52:35,081
[Book] Oh, whoa. Perfect timing.

2020
01:52:35,148 --> 01:52:36,916
[Vic] No, no. Cover.

2021
01:52:37,717 --> 01:52:39,519
Oh, my.

2022
01:52:40,320 --> 01:52:42,422
[Book] Oh, no. Book.

2023
01:52:42,489 --> 01:52:44,157
[man 2] Here are your winners,

2024
01:52:44,224 --> 01:52:48,628
and new NXT Women's Tag Team Champions,

2025
01:52:49,462 --> 01:52:52,832
Alba Fyre and Isla Dawn.

2026
01:52:54,167 --> 01:52:58,204
[Vic] That dark cloud rolling in,

2027
01:52:59,439 --> 01:53:02,709
now in the NXT Tag Team division.

2028
01:53:03,276 --> 01:53:06,679
I want to go back to this moment.
Briggs saying no.

2029
01:53:06,746 --> 01:53:09,315
We've seen what's been
in the bag in the past.

2030
01:53:09,482 --> 01:53:11,451
Kiana James trying to cut corners.

2031
01:53:11,518 --> 01:53:16,089
That's not how business gets handled
for Henley, Briggs, and Jensen,

2032
01:53:16,156 --> 01:53:21,294
but it opened the door for the challengers
to take full advantage.

2033
01:53:21,361 --> 01:53:25,231
Jensen couldn't get in because
it could've been a disqualification.

2034
01:53:25,298 --> 01:53:27,567
Briggs knew that, and in the end,

2035
01:53:27,634 --> 01:53:30,570
that dark cloud is now hanging over

2036
01:53:30,637 --> 01:53:34,808
the NXT Women's Tag Team division

2037
01:53:35,041 --> 01:53:40,647
as the unholy union of Fyre
and Dawn has taken over.

2038
01:53:40,713 --> 01:53:42,749
Book, I don't mean to take away,
but that inner turmoil

2039
01:53:42,816 --> 01:53:44,083
we were talking about, that seems

2040
01:53:44,150 --> 01:53:47,287
to be boiling over for Briggs, Jensen,

2041
01:53:47,353 --> 01:53:52,625
and now the former NXT Women's Tag Team
Champions.

2042
01:54:10,076 --> 01:54:13,680
[Book] Let's talk about what's going
to happen this Tuesday

2043
01:54:13,746 --> 01:54:17,317
after the altercation earlier tonight
here at Stand & Deliver.

2044
01:54:17,383 --> 01:54:20,086
Our hosts, pretty deadly, they're going
to go toe-to-toe

2045
01:54:20,153 --> 01:54:22,355
with Tony D'Angelo and Stacks.

2046
01:54:22,422 --> 01:54:23,256
I like that.

2047
01:54:23,323 --> 01:54:24,891
[Vic] What a matchup that's going to be.

2048
01:54:24,958 --> 01:54:27,927
Also, a battle of the big men.

2049
01:54:27,994 --> 01:54:30,463
Dijak is going to enter the O zone.

2050
01:54:30,530 --> 01:54:36,269
Odyssey Jones, Dijak, one-on-one
this Tuesday at NXT.

2051
01:54:36,502 --> 01:54:37,337
[Book] O zone?

2052
01:54:37,403 --> 01:54:39,005
[Vic] That's this upcoming Tuesday.

2053
01:54:39,072 --> 01:54:43,076
We got to talk about what is still
to come here on Wrestlemania Saturday.

2054
01:54:43,142 --> 01:54:48,014
At Stand & Deliver it is the youngest main
event in Wrestlemania weekend history.

2055
01:54:48,081 --> 01:54:51,351
It's the match the universe
has been waiting for.

2056
01:54:51,417 --> 01:54:54,754
It's Breakker, it's Hayes
for the NXT Title.

2057
01:55:01,227 --> 01:55:04,030
This match is like destiny.

2058
01:55:04,631 --> 01:55:08,001
The youngest main event
in Wrestlemania weekend history.

2059
01:55:09,302 --> 01:55:12,272
Carmelo and I, we came in the same class.

2060
01:55:12,338 --> 01:55:15,975
These two Alpha males
that are just undeniable.

2061
01:55:16,042 --> 01:55:19,245
Bron, do you now what
it takes to be a king?

2062
01:55:19,312 --> 01:55:20,780
I don't think you do.

2063
01:55:20,847 --> 01:55:23,750
Heavy lies the head that wears the crown.

2064
01:55:27,987 --> 01:55:33,092
Make some noise for the 2021
breakout superstar,

2065
01:55:33,159 --> 01:55:35,929
the NXT Wargames winner,

2066
01:55:36,996 --> 01:55:39,799
the longest-combined
North American championship,

2067
01:55:40,700 --> 01:55:46,205
the unified North American Champion, him.

2068
01:55:52,078 --> 01:55:54,247
This has been a whole
different training camp,

2069
01:55:54,314 --> 01:55:55,615
to get to this point.

2070
01:55:55,682 --> 01:56:00,086
I'm not just doing mat wrestling,
I'm covering every aspect

2071
01:56:00,153 --> 01:56:02,055
of the game, I'm hitting those ropes
a little harder,

2072
01:56:02,121 --> 01:56:05,058
I'm taking less steps,
I'm making less mistakes.

2073
01:56:05,124 --> 01:56:08,294
We worked out for four hours,
we went to the club,

2074
01:56:08,361 --> 01:56:11,864
we partied for three hours, after party,
I chose not to go.

2075
01:56:20,940 --> 01:56:23,643
[Book] I don't need to go, man.
I'll celebrate when it's finished.

2076
01:56:23,710 --> 01:56:25,478
I'll celebrate when I'm the champion.

2077
01:56:25,545 --> 01:56:27,313
I'll celebrate when I'm at the top
of the mountain.

2078
01:56:27,380 --> 01:56:29,849
The job is not done. It's far from done.

2079
01:56:44,630 --> 01:56:46,366
It's funny because I've been doing it.

2080
01:56:46,432 --> 01:56:50,103
I've been in the gym, I've been training,
I've been not going

2081
01:56:50,169 --> 01:56:53,339
to the clubs, not going to the party scene
and being focused on this.

2082
01:56:53,406 --> 01:56:55,875
I train weights two and a half hours
a day.

2083
01:56:55,942 --> 01:56:58,511
I'm in the ring two and a half hours
a day because

2084
01:56:58,945 --> 01:57:02,115
that's what it takes to be the champion,
to be the guy.

2085
01:57:06,285 --> 01:57:11,391
I have carried this brand on my back
for almost two years now.

2086
01:57:11,457 --> 01:57:13,626
The NXT Championship is everything to me.

2087
01:57:14,060 --> 01:57:16,262
This brand means everything to me.

2088
01:57:16,329 --> 01:57:20,833
I respect every one who's been
a champion before me,

2089
01:57:20,900 --> 01:57:27,206
but there is a difference, I'm the most
dominant NXT champion of all time.

2090
01:57:27,273 --> 01:57:31,477
[Vic] How could you not be blown
away by what this man has done?

2091
01:57:32,378 --> 01:57:36,649
Bron Breakker is the present
and he's paving a way for the future.

2092
01:57:37,316 --> 01:57:43,222
Bron celebrating on his road
to Stand & Deliver.

2093
01:57:52,432 --> 01:57:56,669
In la, I'm going to take some
of that weight

2094
01:57:56,736 --> 01:58:00,139
off your shoulders when I knock your head
off and I take that crown

2095
01:58:00,206 --> 01:58:05,845
because I am him and the kingdom
of NXT is mine.

2096
01:58:06,012 --> 01:58:08,815
Now give me my -- crown.

2097
01:58:08,881 --> 01:58:11,417
[Vic] This one is a little
bit more special.

2098
01:58:11,484 --> 01:58:13,352
It means a little bit more to me.

2099
01:58:13,419 --> 01:58:16,322
It's Bron Breakker all day.
He's the future.

2100
01:58:16,389 --> 01:58:19,759
[Vic] I don't know about all that.

2101
01:58:21,761 --> 01:58:23,596
Bron Breakker,
I don't think you understand.

2102
01:58:23,663 --> 01:58:25,498
I don't think you want it the way
that I want it.

2103
01:58:25,565 --> 01:58:27,533
I don't think you're willing
to go the limit

2104
01:58:27,600 --> 01:58:29,802
that I'm willing to go
for this Championship.

2105
01:58:29,869 --> 01:58:32,905
When I get going in that four
three speed, when I steiner

2106
01:58:32,972 --> 01:58:34,841
line him in the middle of that ring,

2107
01:58:34,907 --> 01:58:37,944
he doesn't know what planet
he's on or where he is, you'll see.

2108
01:58:38,010 --> 01:58:41,047
[Book] At Stand & Deliver, I'm going
to take everything from you, Bron,

2109
01:58:41,114 --> 01:58:45,051
and I'm going to take it because
it's mine, because I am him.

2110
01:58:45,117 --> 01:58:50,923
I promise I will walk in and I will
walk out Stand & Deliver

2111
01:58:50,990 --> 01:58:53,960
still the NXT Champion.

2112
01:58:56,062 --> 01:58:59,065
[Vic] Who will stand? Who will deliver?

2113
01:58:59,132 --> 01:59:03,069
Who will be the NXT Champion?

2114
01:59:44,944 --> 01:59:51,083
June 21st, he put the world
on notice, banger after banger,

2115
01:59:53,819 --> 01:59:59,992
banger after banger, banger after banger.

2116
02:00:02,195 --> 02:00:09,101
This is what I need. I need for everyone
to get out your seats.

2117
02:00:09,602 --> 02:00:13,072
I need for everyone to get on your feet,

2118
02:00:13,139 --> 02:00:20,112
everyone Stand and watch him Deliver.

2119
02:01:11,931 --> 02:01:16,402
[Vic] That certainly a statement,
Book, by Carmelo Hayes.

2120
02:01:16,469 --> 02:01:19,038
He's put everybody on a t-shirt.

2121
02:01:19,105 --> 02:01:21,907
It's been a different vibe when
you've been around

2122
02:01:21,974 --> 02:01:24,043
the challenger this week.

2123
02:01:24,110 --> 02:01:27,079
It's been a different feeling
for Carmelo Hayes

2124
02:01:27,146 --> 02:01:29,682
because he knows this moment.

2125
02:01:29,749 --> 02:01:32,184
[Book] Oh, man. Vic, I'm excited.

2126
02:01:32,251 --> 02:01:37,023
Look at this man, Carmelo Hayes.
He's looking real good.

2127
02:01:38,124 --> 02:01:44,130
He's that scope to the Donas,
carved and chiseled out of granite.

2128
02:01:44,463 --> 02:01:48,668
All he needs to go around his waist
is that grand prize, Vic.

2129
02:01:48,734 --> 02:01:52,271
[Vic] We can't underestimate
the magnitude of this moment

2130
02:01:52,338 --> 02:01:55,708
that we're witnessing live here
on Wrestlemania Saturday.

2131
02:01:55,775 --> 02:01:59,512
The youngest Wrestlemania
main event in history.

2132
02:01:59,679 --> 02:02:04,317
Two young guns, so to speak, two guys
that have put the brand

2133
02:02:04,383 --> 02:02:06,752
on their back, that it's been built on.

2134
02:02:06,819 --> 02:02:10,389
They've been the pillars and now they
finally go one-on-one.

2135
02:02:10,456 --> 02:02:11,924
[Book] Yes, you talk about the pillars,

2136
02:02:11,991 --> 02:02:15,494
Vic, we're talking about the guy.
Who is going to be?

2137
02:02:55,201 --> 02:02:58,938
[Vic] This is the match
we've been waiting for.

2138
02:03:01,841 --> 02:03:04,176
[Book] Yes, indeed, Vic.

2139
02:03:04,643 --> 02:03:08,347
That's that man right there,
Bron Breakker.

2140
02:03:09,482 --> 02:03:13,486
I got to say it, he's looking for it.

2141
02:03:13,552 --> 02:03:18,624
No bread, no water, just meat.

2142
02:03:18,958 --> 02:03:22,428
[Vic] These two have been twined,
as I was mentioning,

2143
02:03:22,495 --> 02:03:24,597
from the summer of 2021.

2144
02:03:24,663 --> 02:03:28,801
In Melo's mind, he made Bron Breakker
by helping him at Wargames

2145
02:03:28,868 --> 02:03:33,472
and he said he had to give
Bron a career to destroy it.

2146
02:03:33,539 --> 02:03:37,109
That's pretty petty to think that Melo
credits himself with Bron's success

2147
02:03:37,176 --> 02:03:40,346
because that man has done it with
hard work and determination.

2148
02:03:40,880 --> 02:03:43,916
[Book] Bron Breakker definitely
has been dominate

2149
02:03:43,983 --> 02:03:46,952
in this championship run and the thing is,

2150
02:03:47,019 --> 02:03:50,890
I wonder if the confidence
is a little bit too overconfident.

2151
02:03:52,291 --> 02:03:54,727
[Bell rings]

2152
02:03:54,794 --> 02:03:57,630
The following contest scheduled
for one fall

2153
02:03:57,696 --> 02:04:03,769
is for the NXT championship.

2154
02:04:07,473 --> 02:04:09,942
Introducing first the challenger,

2155
02:04:10,009 --> 02:04:12,778
accompanied by Trick Williams,

2156
02:04:12,845 --> 02:04:17,116
Carmelo Hayes.

2157
02:04:25,758 --> 02:04:32,331
His opponent, he is the NXT champion,

2158
02:04:32,398 --> 02:04:37,269
Bron Breakker.

2159
02:04:41,607 --> 02:04:44,443
[Vic] Second Stand & Deliver
main event for Bron Breakker.

2160
02:04:44,510 --> 02:04:47,913
Of course, last year we know
he went up against Dolph Ziggler,

2161
02:04:47,980 --> 02:04:53,018
main event, Dallas. Is what happened
last year in Dallas,

2162
02:04:53,085 --> 02:04:57,022
has that put the chip on he shoulder
of Bron Breakker?

2163
02:04:57,089 --> 02:04:58,824
[Book] I tell you, it may have--

2164
02:04:58,891 --> 02:05:01,393
But I tell you, he'd better
put that behind him

2165
02:05:01,460 --> 02:05:06,499
because he has a young man in front
of him that is a phenomenal talent, Vic.

2166
02:05:11,403 --> 02:05:13,005
[Vic] You can feel the tension--

2167
02:05:13,072 --> 02:05:13,906
[Booker T] Oh, yes.

2168
02:05:13,973 --> 02:05:18,177
[Vic] Starting to rise here in LA.

2169
02:05:19,578 --> 02:05:25,618
[Crowd chants "NXT"]

2170
02:05:28,487 --> 02:05:30,589
[Vic] We talked about the magnitude
of this moment.

2171
02:05:30,656 --> 02:05:34,159
It's Bron Breakker who
called this match destiny.

2172
02:05:36,228 --> 02:05:38,831
[Booker T] I like the way this thing
is getting started here, Vic.

2173
02:05:38,898 --> 02:05:41,133
This is just a feeling-out
process right here.

2174
02:05:41,200 --> 02:05:42,067
[Vic] Hold on a second.

2175
02:05:42,134 --> 02:05:43,202
You talked about getting it started.

2176
02:05:43,636 --> 02:05:46,405
Hayes tried to overpower Bron Breakker.
That didn't work.

2177
02:05:46,839 --> 02:05:50,276
You just saw Bron back up Hayes and Hayes
realized it and quickly let go.

2178
02:05:50,342 --> 02:05:52,778
[Booker T] He could've just been testing
Bron Breakker, you know what I mean?

2179
02:05:52,845 --> 02:05:57,650
Always wanting to make him think more than
just one way at a match-up like this, Vic.

2180
02:06:03,789 --> 02:06:04,924
[Vic] Once again,

2181
02:06:04,990 --> 02:06:05,858
[Booker T] Oh, yes.

2182
02:06:05,925 --> 02:06:07,359
[Vic] you notice
the waist lock from Carmelo Hayes.

2183
02:06:07,426 --> 02:06:11,931
Bron put those paws down, grabbed him,
and Hayes quickly let go, walked away.

2184
02:06:11,997 --> 02:06:15,734
Now what Hayes couldn't do Bron just did
and that was toss the challenger.

2185
02:06:16,101 --> 02:06:18,237
[Booker T] The thing is, Carjmelo Hayes,
he's not going to be able

2186
02:06:18,304 --> 02:06:20,572
to overpower Bron Breakker
or anything like that,

2187
02:06:20,639 --> 02:06:24,276
but you've got to test the waters, Vic.
You've got to poke holes.

2188
02:06:27,012 --> 02:06:32,785
[Vic] He's testing him all right
and right now Bron Breakker's not faded.

2189
02:06:32,851 --> 02:06:36,188
Bron's been in this position.
Bron's been under these lights.

2190
02:06:36,255 --> 02:06:38,257
Bron's been in, name the show.

2191
02:06:38,324 --> 02:06:39,158
[Book] Come on.

2192
02:06:39,224 --> 02:06:40,059
[Vic] He's been in the main event.

2193
02:06:40,125 --> 02:06:41,260
-[Book] Where do you think--
-[Vic] he's been the guy.

2194
02:06:41,327 --> 02:06:45,364
[Book] Carmelo Hayes right now is one
of the most highly touted superstars

2195
02:06:45,431 --> 02:06:48,200
here in this business, let alone NXT.

2196
02:06:48,267 --> 02:06:50,469
-[Book] Beautiful dropkick.
-[Vic] What a beautiful dropkick by Hayes.

2197
02:06:50,536 --> 02:06:52,705
He said training camp
was a little bit different.

2198
02:06:52,771 --> 02:06:55,307
You talk very highly of Carmelo Hayes.

2199
02:06:55,374 --> 02:06:58,477
Was it wise to switch up his game?

2200
02:06:58,544 --> 02:07:00,212
[Book] Of course, it was wise.

2201
02:07:00,279 --> 02:07:03,682
You can't keep going forward
into the game with the same game plan.

2202
02:07:03,749 --> 02:07:04,783
[Vic] How about that message?

2203
02:07:04,850 --> 02:07:06,685
[Booker] You think bill Belichick'd
go into the game

2204
02:07:06,752 --> 02:07:08,020
with the same game plan every week?

2205
02:07:08,087 --> 02:07:10,456
[Vic] Well, how about the message though
Carmelo Hayes just showed Bron Breakker?

2206
02:07:10,522 --> 02:07:12,558
Bron then came right at him
and now it's getting

2207
02:07:12,625 --> 02:07:15,227
in the head of the champion
as the challenger now.

2208
02:07:15,294 --> 02:07:19,765
The pace is quickening and I believe
it just got slammed down again

2209
02:07:19,832 --> 02:07:22,234
by the Brickwall that is Bron Breakker.

2210
02:07:23,402 --> 02:07:25,471
[Book] You got to understand,
Vic, we are just still

2211
02:07:25,537 --> 02:07:29,308
in the appetizing phase of this match.

2212
02:07:31,810 --> 02:07:32,644
[Vic] Oh.

2213
02:07:32,711 --> 02:07:33,646
[Book] Oh.

2214
02:07:34,313 --> 02:07:37,216
[Vic] A little of slip and again,
goes back to the moment.

2215
02:07:37,282 --> 02:07:38,183
[Vic] Goes back to the lights.

2216
02:07:38,250 --> 02:07:39,451
-[Book] High risk.
-[Vic] The risk you talked about.

2217
02:07:39,518 --> 02:07:41,720
[Vic] There was no reward
there for Carmelo Hayes,

2218
02:07:41,787 --> 02:07:44,623
but he's going to try one more time
and Bron knew it was coming.

2219
02:07:44,690 --> 02:07:47,660
[Book] Oh.

2220
02:07:48,861 --> 02:07:51,397
Oh, Bron Breakker was waiting on that

2221
02:07:51,463 --> 02:07:52,364
[Crowd boos]

2222
02:07:52,431 --> 02:07:53,832
and he just took a shot.

2223
02:07:53,899 --> 02:07:54,867
[Vic] He sure did, didn't he?

2224
02:07:54,933 --> 02:07:55,834
[Book] He said what?

2225
02:07:55,901 --> 02:07:57,403
[Vic] That's a message
sent to the challenger.

2226
02:07:57,469 --> 02:07:58,537
[Book] That three-pointer, wasn't it?

2227
02:07:59,371 --> 02:08:00,239
[Vic] It was deep.

2228
02:08:04,410 --> 02:08:06,512
Again, now look at Breakker. Up and over.

2229
02:08:06,578 --> 02:08:08,847
He's using his own little bit of speed.

2230
02:08:09,281 --> 02:08:10,149
[Book] Yes, indeed.

2231
02:08:10,349 --> 02:08:11,483
[Vic] Showing you the athleticism.

2232
02:08:11,550 --> 02:08:14,086
Breakker now rolling right through
and this that amateur

2233
02:08:14,153 --> 02:08:17,289
background coming into display
for the NXT Champion.

2234
02:08:17,356 --> 02:08:18,857
I want to ask you this, Book,

2235
02:08:18,924 --> 02:08:23,128
do you believe Bron Breakker has been
the most dominant NXT Champion ever?

2236
02:08:23,195 --> 02:08:26,598
Only six men have held the NXT
title more than once,

2237
02:08:26,665 --> 02:08:29,435
only one longer than this man
who's looking to retain.

2238
02:08:29,501 --> 02:08:31,870
[Book] I can't disagree with that, Vic.

2239
02:08:31,937 --> 02:08:34,807
Bron Breakker has been
dominant as champion.

2240
02:08:34,873 --> 02:08:37,176
He's ran through every opponent
they've put in front of him.

2241
02:08:37,242 --> 02:08:39,011
Look at this beautiful,
beautiful balance…

2242
02:08:39,078 --> 02:08:40,045
[Vic] Bam.

2243
02:08:40,112 --> 02:08:41,080
On the moonsault right there.

2244
02:08:41,146 --> 02:08:43,515
[Book] That's what he's looking
to take him to the promised land

2245
02:08:43,582 --> 02:08:46,552
here tonight against
this man, Carmelo Hayes.

2246
02:08:46,618 --> 02:08:48,987
[Vic] This is something you can go
back to last year against Dolph Ziggler.

2247
02:08:49,054 --> 02:08:51,457
Bron Breakker was foot on the gas,
100 miles an hour.

2248
02:08:51,523 --> 02:08:52,458
He is slowing down.

2249
02:08:52,524 --> 02:08:54,493
He is allowing this match to come to him.

2250
02:08:54,560 --> 02:08:56,962
This brand means everything
to Bron Breakker.

2251
02:08:57,029 --> 02:08:58,697
He goes into the weight room every day.

2252
02:08:58,764 --> 02:09:00,833
He also talked about
his training mentally.

2253
02:09:01,166 --> 02:09:02,701
He talked about his film study.

2254
02:09:02,768 --> 02:09:05,104
He thought that was the biggest
difference in the last year

2255
02:09:05,170 --> 02:09:09,341
and something that could payoff in this
matchup, in this moment for himself.

2256
02:09:09,408 --> 02:09:12,344
[Book] That comes from being
a little bitty boy.

2257
02:09:12,411 --> 02:09:16,849
I'm talking about Pop Warner junior high,
high school, being prepared.

2258
02:09:17,015 --> 02:09:19,751
Bron Breakker knows all about that.
I give him that.

2259
02:09:21,186 --> 02:09:23,789
[Vic] Again, staying calm,
cool, collected.

2260
02:09:23,856 --> 02:09:27,359
For Bron Breakker, he's been
every composed all week long.

2261
02:09:27,426 --> 02:09:30,395
You've seen that in the media rounds.
Nothing has overwhelmed him.

2262
02:09:30,929 --> 02:09:32,297
He's ready for this moment.

2263
02:09:32,664 --> 02:09:33,932
Maybe more so and I'm not taking anything

2264
02:09:34,366 --> 02:09:36,602
from what he did last year,
but maybe more so than last year,

2265
02:09:36,668 --> 02:09:38,470
and maybe more so in this moment
in the challenge.

2266
02:09:38,537 --> 02:09:40,739
[Book] Maybe he's still trying to slow
it down right now,

2267
02:09:40,806 --> 02:09:43,308
trying to lean on Carmelo Hayes.

2268
02:09:43,375 --> 02:09:46,745
Just trying to make him use every bit
of air he possibly can.

2269
02:09:46,912 --> 02:09:50,115
The thing might get into the later
later rounds, Vic.

2270
02:09:50,182 --> 02:09:51,850
[Vic] Well, you've got to like when
you talked about strategy

2271
02:09:51,917 --> 02:09:54,653
early on with the ladder match, he doesn't
want Carmelo Hayes to be

2272
02:09:54,720 --> 02:09:56,388
picking up steam, he doesn't want
him running around jumping

2273
02:09:56,455 --> 02:09:57,489
off ten top rope, jumping up.

2274
02:09:57,556 --> 02:10:00,058
He's got to keep Hayes grounded
and he's doing that.

2275
02:10:00,125 --> 02:10:02,528
[Book] Not just that, he's trying
to conserve every bit of energy

2276
02:10:02,594 --> 02:10:08,066
he possibly can as well because he knows
the ability of this man, Carmelo Hayes.

2277
02:10:08,133 --> 02:10:09,668
[Vic] We're seeing it right now,
and of course,

2278
02:10:09,735 --> 02:10:12,971
Haynes dawning the purple and gold,
the colors of the la Lakers.

2279
02:10:13,038 --> 02:10:15,407
You see the number eight on his left knee
for Kobe Bryant.

2280
02:10:15,474 --> 02:10:18,243
He's got to have that mamba
mentality here tonight.

2281
02:10:18,443 --> 02:10:19,545
[Book] Yes, indeed.

2282
02:10:19,611 --> 02:10:26,185
We all know Kobe Bryant
was the epitome of mamba mentality.

2283
02:10:26,718 --> 02:10:29,755
[Vic] Now, you see Bron in a lot
of angst here in this moment,

2284
02:10:29,821 --> 02:10:32,291
and go back to what just happened,
he went face first

2285
02:10:32,357 --> 02:10:34,359
over that middle turnbuckle,
over that rope.

2286
02:10:34,426 --> 02:10:36,094
That can't feel very good
for Bron Breakker.

2287
02:10:36,161 --> 02:10:40,399
That certainly can't either.
Jumping through the air, is Hayes.

2288
02:10:40,465 --> 02:10:42,835
Into the cover, hook of the leg,
and a near fall.

2289
02:10:42,901 --> 02:10:45,604
It seems since that drop toehold,
that's taken

2290
02:10:45,671 --> 02:10:47,873
Bron Breakker off his game
a little bit and has allowed

2291
02:10:47,940 --> 02:10:50,075
Carmelo Hayes to get back into the game.

2292
02:10:50,142 --> 02:10:53,212
[Book] Not just that, the speed
and the quickness of Carmelo Hayes

2293
02:10:53,278 --> 02:10:54,546
is definitely coming into play.

2294
02:10:54,613 --> 02:10:57,549
The one thing about Carmelo Hayes
is he's flawless.

2295
02:10:57,616 --> 02:11:00,752
He makes it look so easy,
and that's the training

2296
02:11:00,953 --> 02:11:03,589
this young man is going
through here as of late.

2297
02:11:03,655 --> 02:11:06,825
Now, you see Hayes just squeezing
with his armbar locked in,

2298
02:11:06,992 --> 02:11:09,695
and Bron Breakker right now center
of the ring in a bad way.

2299
02:11:09,761 --> 02:11:11,997
There you see trick Williams
on the outside telling the challenger

2300
02:11:12,064 --> 02:11:14,533
to squeeze, continue to try to hold

2301
02:11:14,600 --> 02:11:17,502
and this certainly would wear
down the power of Breakker.

2302
02:11:17,569 --> 02:11:19,438
[Book] I don't like the idea
of he let that key lock go,

2303
02:11:19,504 --> 02:11:20,906
he had it locked in, and right now,

2304
02:11:20,973 --> 02:11:25,244
Bron Breakker has an escape route
if he choose to use it.

2305
02:11:25,410 --> 02:11:27,212
[Vic] Trying to hyper extend
the left elbow.

2306
02:11:27,279 --> 02:11:29,081
Look, these two guys
they want to be the best.

2307
02:11:29,147 --> 02:11:31,950
It's in their genetic code to be the best,

2308
02:11:32,150 --> 02:11:34,620
to be the man, to be number one.

2309
02:11:35,921 --> 02:11:39,324
[Book] Talk about the pedigree,
the dna of this man.

2310
02:11:39,591 --> 02:11:41,860
[Vic] Roll through, shoulders down,
by Breakker to retain, able to kick out.

2311
02:11:41,927 --> 02:11:44,029
[Book] Bron Breakker,
he was born for this, Vic.

2312
02:11:44,096 --> 02:11:47,232
He was born to do this.
He was born to be champion.

2313
02:11:47,900 --> 02:11:49,835
[Vic] If you ask Carmelo Hayes
he was born to be champion

2314
02:11:49,902 --> 02:11:53,105
just as well, and now, Hayes
charging right in.

2315
02:11:53,505 --> 02:11:55,774
Hayes has said he has waited
long enough for this one-on-one

2316
02:11:55,841 --> 02:11:59,611
opportunity for the NXT title, and now,
there's a bulls eye

2317
02:11:59,678 --> 02:12:01,747
on the body of Bron Breakker.

2318
02:12:01,813 --> 02:12:04,182
[Book] Waiting and anticipating
is one thing,

2319
02:12:04,249 --> 02:12:07,419
cashing in is totally another thing.

2320
02:12:07,486 --> 02:12:11,556
To cash in on this man Bron Breakker,
it's going to be a chore, Vic.

2321
02:12:11,623 --> 02:12:14,693
[Vic] Hayes now starting to focus,
and now maybe it was that early

2322
02:12:14,760 --> 02:12:18,397
storm up front able to weather
that storm, so to speak, for Carmelo Hayes

2323
02:12:18,463 --> 02:12:21,099
to get back into this matchup
and get a little bit more comfortable.

2324
02:12:22,634 --> 02:12:25,237
I don't think there's going to be
anything comfortable now that

2325
02:12:25,304 --> 02:12:28,874
Breakker back on offense, big hip toss,
and the champion now

2326
02:12:29,074 --> 02:12:30,642
picking up some steam.

2327
02:12:31,243 --> 02:12:34,413
[Book] Right now, this thing is moving
at a fast pace, and right now,

2328
02:12:34,479 --> 02:12:37,082
Bron Breakker is in total control,
he's going for a cover.

2329
02:12:37,549 --> 02:12:40,986
[Vic] Hook of the inside leg and
another near fall for Carmelo Hayes,

2330
02:12:41,053 --> 02:12:43,255
that right shoulder just getting up.

2331
02:12:43,755 --> 02:12:45,691
This match is living up to the billing
of these two guys

2332
02:12:45,757 --> 02:12:47,693
who they've heard the chirping
about the other.

2333
02:12:47,759 --> 02:12:49,461
Carmelo Hayes heard enough about
Bron Breakker,

2334
02:12:49,528 --> 02:12:50,929
and Bron Breakker has heard enough
about Carmelo Hayes.

2335
02:12:50,996 --> 02:12:51,830
[Book] Yes, indeed.

2336
02:12:51,897 --> 02:12:54,900
I'm looking at Bron Breakker's tactics
right now, Vic.

2337
02:12:54,967 --> 02:12:58,470
He's trying to just keep this thing
at a pace, at his pace

2338
02:12:58,537 --> 02:13:01,173
more so than Carmelo Hayes pace.

2339
02:13:01,540 --> 02:13:03,809
[Vic] Just trying to keep
it slow, keep it steady.

2340
02:13:03,875 --> 02:13:06,445
We talked about being calm
if you are Bron Breakker.

2341
02:13:06,511 --> 02:13:09,781
Bron knows what it takes to be champion
at this level, so does

2342
02:13:09,848 --> 02:13:10,682
and Carmelo Hayes.

2343
02:13:10,749 --> 02:13:13,719
That's what's been so intriguing
about this matchup, about

2344
02:13:13,785 --> 02:13:17,222
huge main event, as some have said,
maybe the biggest match

2345
02:13:17,456 --> 02:13:20,892
in NXT history for two guys
that are on the same page.

2346
02:13:20,959 --> 02:13:24,529
Right now, Bron Breakker is starting
to break down Carmelo Hayes

2347
02:13:24,596 --> 02:13:26,031
in a way we've never seen before.

2348
02:13:26,098 --> 02:13:29,501
[Book] No, he's not just breaking
him down, he's grinding right

2349
02:13:29,568 --> 02:13:31,003
now on Carmelo Hayes.

2350
02:13:31,069 --> 02:13:35,073
Like I say, he's using those
little brawling tactics to take

2351
02:13:35,140 --> 02:13:38,543
everything out of this man, Carmelo Hayes.

2352
02:13:38,610 --> 02:13:42,013
[Vic] One more time, and just like
we saw Hayes focus on the upper body

2353
02:13:42,080 --> 02:13:44,516
we're seeing Breakker focus
on the lower back.

2354
02:13:44,583 --> 02:13:48,186
You see almost agony in the eyes
of trick Williams on the outside

2355
02:13:48,253 --> 02:13:52,491
as he has no choice but to just
watch Bron Breakker continue

2356
02:13:52,557 --> 02:13:55,460
to punish Carmelo Hayes who
just kicked out at two.

2357
02:13:55,527 --> 02:13:57,529
[Book] Wow, beautiful suplex right there.

2358
02:13:57,596 --> 02:14:01,400
Elevator coming down and coming
down hard, right now.

2359
02:14:01,466 --> 02:14:05,771
You see the tactics and the strategy
of this man, Bron Breakker.

2360
02:14:05,837 --> 02:14:08,206
Let me tell you, it's a great strategy.

2361
02:14:08,273 --> 02:14:10,776
[Vic] Look at this.
Now Hayes just trying to hold on.

2362
02:14:11,376 --> 02:14:14,379
One more time with that right hand
reaching out,

2363
02:14:14,446 --> 02:14:16,181
and uh-oh, getting stacked up.

2364
02:14:16,248 --> 02:14:18,517
Torture rack-- what?

2365
02:14:18,583 --> 02:14:20,252
[Crowd cheers]

2366
02:14:20,318 --> 02:14:21,386
[Book] Trick.

2367
02:14:21,453 --> 02:14:22,320
[man 2] Come on.

2368
02:14:23,789 --> 02:14:26,358
[Vic] Trick Williams could
have just saved Carmelo Hayes.

2369
02:14:26,425 --> 02:14:33,398
[Crowd boos]

2370
02:14:34,332 --> 02:14:35,767
[Vic] Referee's discretion.

2371
02:14:35,834 --> 02:14:36,701
[Book] Come on, man.

2372
02:14:36,768 --> 02:14:37,602
[Vic] Wait a minute, hold on.

2373
02:14:37,669 --> 02:14:41,072
Would you rather have the referee
disqualify Carmelo Hayes

2374
02:14:41,139 --> 02:14:42,474
or send trick Williams to the back?

2375
02:14:42,541 --> 02:14:45,043
Great judgment call by the official,
and now,

2376
02:14:45,110 --> 02:14:48,847
Breakker making a judgment call,
high risk for the champ.

2377
02:14:49,181 --> 02:14:50,148
[Book] You're right.

2378
02:14:50,482 --> 02:14:53,218
I do not want to see this disqualification
here between

2379
02:14:53,285 --> 02:14:55,187
these two here tonight at Stand & Deliver.

2380
02:14:55,253 --> 02:14:56,088
I do not want to see that.

2381
02:14:56,154 --> 02:14:59,558
[Vic] Great job by our official
as Breakker, taking that long climb

2382
02:14:59,758 --> 02:15:03,695
could be looking for that bulldog
off the top connecting.

2383
02:15:03,762 --> 02:15:04,596
[Book] He got all of it.

2384
02:15:04,663 --> 02:15:06,131
[Vic] He certainly did.
He's got all of it.

2385
02:15:06,198 --> 02:15:09,000
[Vic] Did he get enough to retain
the NXT Title-- and oh.

2386
02:15:09,334 --> 02:15:13,238
[Book] The resilience of this
young man, Carmelo Hayes.

2387
02:15:13,305 --> 02:15:16,842
He wants that championship,
Vic, but it's going to take more than

2388
02:15:16,908 --> 02:15:18,310
just one shot to put him down.

2389
02:15:18,376 --> 02:15:20,345
[Book] Look at Bron
Breakker taking flight.

2390
02:15:20,412 --> 02:15:23,815
You talk about the landing. Boom.

2391
02:15:23,882 --> 02:15:25,584
[Crowd cheers]

2392
02:15:25,650 --> 02:15:29,054
[Vic] Then he followed that up
with more high-impact offense.

2393
02:15:29,120 --> 02:15:32,324
I give credit to the challenger who was
able to kick out at two and a half.

2394
02:15:32,390 --> 02:15:35,427
Carmelo Hayes knows who he's been
in this match with.

2395
02:15:35,494 --> 02:15:39,231
He's been in the match with the best
NXT has to offer in Bron Breakker.

2396
02:15:39,297 --> 02:15:41,867
[Book] Talk about the training
of Carmelo Hayes.

2397
02:15:42,100 --> 02:15:46,805
There's a quote by Floyd Mayweather.
"Hard work is easy work."

2398
02:15:46,872 --> 02:15:49,274
That's the mentality
that he has to have tonight.

2399
02:15:49,341 --> 02:15:50,809
Right now, he's going for it.

2400
02:15:50,876 --> 02:15:52,777
He's going for it big time. Oh, yes.

2401
02:15:52,844 --> 02:15:54,246
[Vic] The pace starting
to quicken off the cutter.

2402
02:15:54,312 --> 02:15:57,315
Challenger into the cover, the count,
and the champion

2403
02:15:57,382 --> 02:15:58,884
just got the shoulder up.

2404
02:15:59,050 --> 02:16:00,819
Look into the eyes of Carmelo Hayes.

2405
02:16:00,886 --> 02:16:03,155
This is deep water now for Hayes.

2406
02:16:03,221 --> 02:16:05,524
[Book] Right now the frustration
is setting in because, let me tell you

2407
02:16:05,590 --> 02:16:09,828
he locked in that hook right
there, that back leg.

2408
02:16:10,095 --> 02:16:11,730
It didn't work. Didn't work for him.

2409
02:16:11,796 --> 02:16:12,797
Bron Breakker's still strong.

2410
02:16:13,231 --> 02:16:15,901
[Vic] Talks about that power
that Breakker has in.

2411
02:16:15,967 --> 02:16:20,238
Here's a man who calls his shot,
and when he shoots, he don't miss.

2412
02:16:20,472 --> 02:16:24,242
[Crowd chants "melo"]

2413
02:16:24,543 --> 02:16:29,281
NXT Universe trying to rally
off the top roll-through.

2414
02:16:29,347 --> 02:16:31,216
Breakker, of course,
had it scouted right back in.

2415
02:16:31,283 --> 02:16:32,851
Pump kick connects under the jaw.

2416
02:16:32,918 --> 02:16:35,720
The champion sent all
the way to the outside.

2417
02:16:36,988 --> 02:16:38,256
Look at Hayes wisely, though.

2418
02:16:38,323 --> 02:16:40,025
Knows he has to get
Bron Breakker in the ring.

2419
02:16:40,091 --> 02:16:42,227
Can't win the NXT Title on a pinfall.

2420
02:16:42,427 --> 02:16:43,962
Oh, what a counter.

2421
02:16:44,029 --> 02:16:45,096
[Book] Oh, wow. Beautiful.

2422
02:16:45,163 --> 02:16:47,832
[Vic] Pinfall, submission
in a huge suplex.

2423
02:16:48,133 --> 02:16:52,337
[Book] Outside to inside, trying
to capitalize for the championship

2424
02:16:52,404 --> 02:16:54,139
in another pinfall.

2425
02:16:54,206 --> 02:16:55,941
[Vic] Talk about innovative right there.

2426
02:16:56,007 --> 02:17:00,011
Carmelo Hayes right there just
pulled off one of the most exciting

2427
02:17:00,345 --> 02:17:02,747
unbelievable moves we've ever
seen in this business, Vic.

2428
02:17:03,114 --> 02:17:05,050
Unbelievable talent this kid.

2429
02:17:06,318 --> 02:17:08,653
[Book] That talent is taking
him to the top,

2430
02:17:08,720 --> 02:17:11,423
and he's soaring back
to the top one more time.

2431
02:17:12,224 --> 02:17:13,725
Hayes looking down.

2432
02:17:15,060 --> 02:17:17,862
Whoa. You got to be kidding me.

2433
02:17:17,929 --> 02:17:19,564
[Vic] You got to be kidding me.

2434
02:17:19,631 --> 02:17:20,999
[Book] That's what I just said, Vic.

2435
02:17:21,066 --> 02:17:24,235
Look at Bron Breakker, so much
has been taken out of the champion.

2436
02:17:24,769 --> 02:17:26,171
He can't get into it.

2437
02:17:26,237 --> 02:17:28,006
He can't get back to make a cover.

2438
02:17:28,473 --> 02:17:31,843
Bron Breakker, the size of Breakker,
to the top

2439
02:17:31,910 --> 02:17:33,612
to hit that with such ease.

2440
02:17:33,678 --> 02:17:35,814
You talk about high flying ability.

2441
02:17:35,880 --> 02:17:37,616
Bron Breakker can do it all.

2442
02:17:37,682 --> 02:17:39,217
[Vic] Talking about Bron Breakker,
I said this kid

2443
02:17:39,284 --> 02:17:42,921
has to think about working in more
than just one gear right now.

2444
02:17:42,988 --> 02:17:44,689
He's shifting gears, Vic.

2445
02:17:44,756 --> 02:17:46,524
He's definitely shifting gears.

2446
02:17:54,065 --> 02:17:59,170
[Book] That genetic code,
the magnitude of this match,

2447
02:17:59,237 --> 02:18:01,706
of this moment, for these two,

2448
02:18:01,773 --> 02:18:05,043
for this brand, on this stage in la.

2449
02:18:05,110 --> 02:18:07,779
[Vic] Oh, yes. I like this.

2450
02:18:07,846 --> 02:18:11,249
I like this, Vic. Let's just fight.

2451
02:18:11,316 --> 02:18:13,051
Let's just do it.

2452
02:18:20,458 --> 02:18:24,129
[Book] Breakker's right hand
dropping the challenger,

2453
02:18:24,462 --> 02:18:28,033
but Hayes picking himself back up
to answer right back.

2454
02:18:37,142 --> 02:18:38,543
[Vic] Oh.

2455
02:18:38,610 --> 02:18:41,579
Nice strike by Hayes, rocking
the champion back-- uh-oh.

2456
02:18:42,314 --> 02:18:44,115
[Book] Not a great strategy
here by Carmelo.

2457
02:18:44,849 --> 02:18:47,052
[Book] You don't want to go toe-to-toe--

2458
02:18:47,118 --> 02:18:48,420
[Vic] looking for that submission.
Look at Bron Breakker.

2459
02:18:48,486 --> 02:18:51,856
Breakker trying to recline Carmelo Hayes.

2460
02:18:51,923 --> 02:18:54,526
He's seen that movie before,
able to counter right to the back.

2461
02:18:54,592 --> 02:18:55,960
Now, trying to lock in the submission.

2462
02:18:56,027 --> 02:18:58,129
He's been working on the shoulder,
working on the arm.

2463
02:18:58,196 --> 02:19:00,632
Too strong here by this man right here,
Bron Breakker.

2464
02:19:00,699 --> 02:19:01,933
Oh, wow.

2465
02:19:02,000 --> 02:19:04,436
[Vic] To your point, almost on cue.
Planted.

2466
02:19:04,502 --> 02:19:07,272
Wait, Hayes, Hayes, submission locked in.

2467
02:19:08,306 --> 02:19:10,208
Is the champion going to tap?

2468
02:19:10,275 --> 02:19:12,677
Breakker trying to roll his weight,
roll his momentum.

2469
02:19:12,744 --> 02:19:14,913
Shoulders are down-- and oh.

2470
02:19:14,979 --> 02:19:17,682
[Book] Breakker was admiring
his work there for a second,

2471
02:19:17,749 --> 02:19:20,552
and Carmelo capitalized off of it,
but is it going to work?

2472
02:19:20,618 --> 02:19:23,254
Oh. Oh, wow.

2473
02:19:31,429 --> 02:19:34,599
[Vic] The official wrong place,
wrong time.

2474
02:19:35,100 --> 02:19:41,706
Now, Bron looking down, and for a second
attempt, can he sit back?

2475
02:19:41,773 --> 02:19:46,111
Can he clench his hands? He's reclining
back on Carmelo Hayes.

2476
02:19:46,177 --> 02:19:47,746
[Book] That's it, Vic. He's got to tap.

2477
02:19:47,812 --> 02:19:50,448
[Vic] The challenger. There's no referee.

2478
02:19:50,515 --> 02:19:53,118
There's no official. Trick, no.

2479
02:19:53,685 --> 02:19:58,623
[Book] Trick Williams, he was ejected.

2480
02:20:01,459 --> 02:20:02,460
Williams.

2481
02:20:02,527 --> 02:20:06,398
Oh, he just dragged the lifeless
body of Carmelo Hayes.

2482
02:20:06,464 --> 02:20:07,999
[Vic] They're going to do it.

2483
02:20:08,066 --> 02:20:10,935
They're going to Rob this man tonight,
Vic.

2484
02:20:13,438 --> 02:20:18,443
[Book] Referee can only call what he sees.

2485
02:20:20,578 --> 02:20:22,213
[Vic] How damn close.

2486
02:20:23,148 --> 02:20:27,285
[Book] That was a 2/11
in progress right there, Vic.

2487
02:20:33,892 --> 02:20:37,662
[Vic] The eyes of Breakker,
the eyes of Hayes.

2488
02:20:37,729 --> 02:20:41,466
I think Hayes now trying to get right
back in going-- uh-oh,

2489
02:20:41,533 --> 02:20:44,636
got caught, and we've seen
this in the past, Book.

2490
02:20:44,702 --> 02:20:47,071
What goes up has to come crashing down.

2491
02:20:47,138 --> 02:20:50,675
[Book] Oh, first 48, first 48, first 48.

2492
02:20:52,877 --> 02:20:58,817
[Book] Hayes drop Breakker.
Hayes trying to move.

2493
02:20:58,883 --> 02:21:00,718
Carmelo Hayes trying pull himself, trying
to will himself all the way to the top.

2494
02:21:00,785 --> 02:21:04,722
The man who shoots and don't miss
has his sight set.

2495
02:21:05,190 --> 02:21:07,125
Nothing but net.

2496
02:21:07,192 --> 02:21:08,426
[Vic] Wow.

2497
02:21:08,493 --> 02:21:10,094
[Book] For your moment.

2498
02:21:11,362 --> 02:21:15,366
We got a New NXT Champion.

2499
02:21:15,433 --> 02:21:16,935
[Carmelo Hayes' music plays]

2500
02:21:17,001 --> 02:21:23,041
[man 2] Here is your winner
and New NXT Champion,

2501
02:21:23,808 --> 02:21:27,212
Carmelo Hayes.

2502
02:21:35,954 --> 02:21:40,325
[Vic] One more time at Stand & Deliver.

2503
02:21:40,391 --> 02:21:46,431
Los Angeles is on their feet
as you just heard

2504
02:21:46,498 --> 02:21:51,035
Alicia Taylor say, New NXT Champion.

2505
02:21:52,871 --> 02:21:55,173
[Vic] Let's go back into this matchup.

2506
02:21:55,240 --> 02:21:59,811
As I've said, wrong place, wrong time.
The referee wiped out.

2507
02:21:59,878 --> 02:22:02,347
Bron Breakker could've
had it in that moment.

2508
02:22:02,413 --> 02:22:04,816
He locks in. Hayes is tapping.

2509
02:22:04,883 --> 02:22:08,486
Williams returns and drops Bron Breakker.

2510
02:22:08,553 --> 02:22:10,355
The referee had no idea.

2511
02:22:10,421 --> 02:22:13,091
Breakker somehow was able
to kick out, in that moment,

2512
02:22:13,157 --> 02:22:16,227
Hayes would somehow able to counter.

2513
02:22:16,294 --> 02:22:20,565
Then he set his sights on the big dog,
and the big dog ate

2514
02:22:20,632 --> 02:22:23,434
here tonight in Los Angeles.

2515
02:22:23,501 --> 02:22:25,503
Boom, to the back of the neck.

2516
02:22:25,570 --> 02:22:30,875
Nothing but net secures
the biggest game winning

2517
02:22:30,942 --> 02:22:37,615
shot in Carmelo Hayes' tenure
in his history here in NXT.

2518
02:23:29,734 --> 02:23:33,438
It is starting to set
in for Carmelo Hayes.

2519
02:23:38,009 --> 02:23:43,348
Los Angeles celebrating
for the New NXT Champion.

2520
02:23:44,148 --> 02:23:47,919
Heavy lies the head that wears the crown.

2521
02:23:49,253 --> 02:23:55,360
From a Casanova to the NXT champion,
Carmelo Hayes is him.

2522
02:24:16,047 --> 02:24:18,850
Subtitles: Aadesh Surana
T champion,
Carmelo Hayes is him.
