[Booker] Near fall.

90

You can't be in two places at the same
time, You got to have priorities.

91

[Vic] Look, she had priorities.

but it was the conniving Kiana James

[Booker] Oh, whoa. Good shot.

103
00:04:25,331 --> 00:04:26,933

to win this tournament?

106
00:04:30,069 --> 00:04:34,173
[Booker] Cora Jade started out
this business in freelance wrestling.

107
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,709
That gave her that edge, that attitude.

108
00:04:36,876 --> 00:04:39,712
She may be one or top three favorites.

109
00:04:39,779 --> 00:04:44,183
You got Tiffany Stratton,
Roxanne Perez, a plethora of talent

110
00:04:44,250 --> 00:04:45,785
still left in this tournament.

111

Oh, big shot there.

112
00:04:50,556 --> 00:04:52,892
[Vic] Jade measuring Henley.

113
00:04:52,959 --> 00:04:55,094
[Booker] Henley hung out
to dry right there.

114
00:04:55,161 --> 00:04:57,964
[Vic] Now look at Jade wisely
quickly into another cover.

115
00:04:58,031 --> 00:05:00,233
Hooks the leg and another near fall.

116
00:05:00,300 --> 00:05:03,870
So close to advancing to the semi-finals.

117
00:05:04,237 --> 00:05:07,674

118
00:05:07,740 --> 00:05:10,076

119
00:05:10,143 --> 00:05:12,879

120
00:05:12,945 --> 00:05:15,848

excited to see whom will advance

127
00:05:30,563 --> 00:05:33,766
A chance, a shot at that
NXT women's championship.

128
00:05:33,833 --> 00:05:36,269
That is a chance…
[Vic] Wait a minute, reversal.

129
00:05:36,336 --> 00:05:38,004
Shoulders down. [Booker] So close.

130
00:05:38,071 --> 00:05:39,505
[Vic] Jade able to kick out.

131
00:05:39,572 --> 00:05:42,442
Cora Jade she cut down the
entire women's division.

132
00:05:42,508 --> 00:05:43,609
Let's not forget that.

133
00:05:43,676 --> 00:05:47,513
Will she start to regret those comments
in a matchup against Fallon Henley

134
00:05:47,580 --> 00:05:49,082
who answers back with a right.

135
00:05:49,148 --> 00:05:52,985
[Booker] Cora Jade feels like she's better
than everybody in that locker room.

136
00:05:53,052 --> 00:05:55,354
If you don't believe it, they won't
believe it.

137
00:05:55,421 --> 00:05:57,757
You got to go out and
speak it into existence.

138
00:05:57,824 --> 00:06:00,626
Fallon Henley's trying
to make a huge comeback.

139
00:06:00,693 --> 00:06:04,564
[Vic] This the first of two quarterfinal
matchups. The second Perez and Jayne.

140
00:06:04,630 --> 00:06:07,433
That to come later
tonight here live on NXT.

141
00:06:07,500 --> 00:06:11,738
Not to mention the stateside debut of the
supernova sessions.

142
00:06:11,838 --> 00:06:15,274
But it's Henley now starting to battle
back into this matchup.

143
00:06:15,341 --> 00:06:17,176
You talk about opposites.

144
00:06:17,243 --> 00:06:21,247
Fallon Henley is not someone that buys
into her own hype like Cora Jade does.

145
00:06:21,314 --> 00:06:23,316
She's not as egotistical as Cora Jade

146
00:06:23,383 --> 00:06:26,252
and that might be the difference
maker for Henley.

147
00:06:26,352 --> 00:06:27,820
Crawls into the cover.

148
00:06:27,887 --> 00:06:30,556
Hooks the leg, and Jade again kicks out.

149
00:06:30,623 --> 00:06:34,427
[Booker] If Fallon Henley could find that
focus factor, she could be great.

150
00:06:34,494 --> 00:06:36,129
She was a tag team champion.

151
00:06:36,195 --> 00:06:38,564
That fell through. Why? Why, Vic? Why?

152
00:06:38,631 --> 00:06:39,532
[Vic] You tell me.

153
00:06:39,599 --> 00:06:42,335
Because she had a conniving
tag team partner.

154
00:06:42,402 --> 00:06:45,438
[Booker] Fallon Henley
would not mind her business.

155
00:06:45,505 --> 00:06:49,675
[Vic] Almost a dragon sleeper, and just
a vicious knee to the middle of the spine.

156
00:06:49,742 --> 00:06:52,011
And now looking for the DDT, is Jade.

157
00:06:52,078 --> 00:06:55,214
Henley able to counter
and answers right back.

158
00:06:55,748 --> 00:06:58,918
On one leg right now charging in
and connects.

159
00:06:59,051 --> 00:07:00,987
That's going to be it. [crowd screams]

160
00:07:01,053 --> 00:07:03,356
[Booker] Shining wizard.
Got all of it, Vic.

161
00:07:03,423 --> 00:07:06,926
Henley, can't capitalize because of
the pain shooting through her body.

162
00:07:06,993 --> 00:07:13,132
Trying to get into the cover, and look at
Jade wisely able to roll to the outside

163
00:07:13,199 --> 00:07:15,234
to buy a little more time.

164
00:07:15,301 --> 00:07:18,237
[Booker] Let me tell you something,
that's a veteran move.

165
00:07:18,304 --> 00:07:21,574
Somebody's just been in this business
since December 2018.

166
00:07:21,641 --> 00:07:24,443
Right there, that tells me
she's advancing very quickly.

167
00:07:24,510 --> 00:07:27,146
[Vic] Henley's looking over
at the NXT women's title.

168
00:07:27,213 --> 00:07:29,282
She wants to win this in the ring.

169
00:07:29,348 --> 00:07:31,484
She wants to earn
the victory to the semis.

170
00:07:31,551 --> 00:07:34,887
As she's trying to get back in,
still favoring that knee.

171
00:07:34,954 --> 00:07:36,756
Jade chopping down Henley.

172
00:07:36,823 --> 00:07:37,657
[Booker] Yes.

173
00:07:38,057 --> 00:07:43,429
[Vic] Now Cora Jade's looking for a
disgruntled double underhook DDT.

174
00:07:43,496 --> 00:07:48,234
Into the cover, and Cora Jade
headed to the semi-finals. [bell rings]

175
00:07:48,301 --> 00:07:50,903
[Cora Jade's music plays]

176
00:07:50,970 --> 00:07:54,240
Here is your winner, Cora Jade.

177
00:07:56,809 --> 00:08:01,948
[Vic] The resident mean girl of NXT, who
referred to herself tonight

178
00:08:02,014 --> 00:08:06,786
as the savior, is one step closer to the
championship.

179
00:08:06,853 --> 00:08:09,889
Back to some of the action.
You called it the shining wizard.

180
00:08:09,956 --> 00:08:12,959
It hit perfectly, but so much damage
done to the left knee.

181
00:08:13,025 --> 00:08:16,762
Fallon Henley couldn't capitalize,
but Jade was able to capitalize

182
00:08:16,829 --> 00:08:20,132
in the key moment, and right there
was able to turn things around.

183
00:08:20,199 --> 00:08:24,003
And then bam, punch her ticket to
the semi-finals

184
00:08:24,070 --> 00:08:27,240
for the NXT women's championship.

185
00:08:27,306 --> 00:08:32,278
Let's take a look at the updated bracket
as three superstars have advanced.

186
00:08:32,345 --> 00:08:37,049
And we now know Cora Jade and
Lyra Valkyria will meet

187
00:08:37,116 --> 00:08:38,050
in the semi-finals.

188
00:08:38,117 --> 00:08:41,187
Tiffany Stratton, we'll find out her
opponent later tonight.

189
00:08:41,254 --> 00:08:44,090
And there is Jade, there is Valkyria.

190
00:08:44,156 --> 00:08:48,728
Who will make it to the finals
at battleground for the NXT women's title.

191
00:08:48,861 --> 00:08:51,030
These two go toe-to-toe
in the semi-finals.

192
00:08:51,097 --> 00:08:52,098
Book, guess what?

193
00:08:52,164 --> 00:08:54,800
It's going down next
week live here on NXT.

194
00:08:54,867 --> 00:08:56,669
[Booker] Yes.

195
00:08:59,038 --> 00:09:01,774
[Thea] Dang it. I thought Fallon
Henley had that one.

196
00:09:01,941 --> 00:09:05,144
[Kiana] Please, you're drawing that
from what experience exactly?

197
00:09:05,211 --> 00:09:06,312
[Thea] [unsure grunt]

198
00:09:06,379 --> 00:09:08,414
[Kiana] Reading textbooks doesn't count.

199
00:09:08,481 --> 00:09:13,486
There's a difference between watching
as a fan and watching as a superstar.

200
00:09:15,354 --> 00:09:16,589
[Thea] Okay, Kiana.

201
00:09:16,656 --> 00:09:19,592
This fan watched you
get eliminated last week.

202
00:09:19,659 --> 00:09:21,928
[whispering provocatively]

203
00:09:22,128 --> 00:09:23,029
[Kiana] Real cute.

204
00:09:23,095 --> 00:09:26,699
I'm in the top tier of this division
unlike you who will never get there.

205
00:09:26,799 --> 00:09:28,701
You pathetic little child.

206
00:09:29,769 --> 00:09:32,004
[Thea] I should have been
in that tournament

207
00:09:32,071 --> 00:09:34,040
and I can prove that to you tonight.

208
00:09:34,373 --> 00:09:35,908
[Kiana] Sounds like a night off.

209
00:09:35,975 --> 00:09:38,210
Do you need to get
a permission signed, first?

210
00:09:38,277 --> 00:09:41,747
[Thea] No. I just think Mr. Cha…
Duke can approve it.

211
00:09:42,048 --> 00:09:45,484
Hey, Duke, can I have a match against
Ms. Skirt suit over here?

212
00:09:45,551 --> 00:09:47,253
[Duke] Yes, do whatever you want.

213
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:49,689
[Thea] I'm going to kick
your prissy ass tonight.

214
00:09:49,755 --> 00:09:53,392
[chants cheering Thea]

215
00:09:54,827 --> 00:09:57,797
[Carmelo] I'm 100% down with finding
this higher plane,

216
00:09:57,863 --> 00:10:00,032
but we have a fight next.

217
00:10:00,099 --> 00:10:02,168
Can we come back to this?

218
00:10:03,002 --> 00:10:05,905
[Tyler] I feel you.
Let's put a pin in this till later.

219
00:10:05,972 --> 00:10:09,542
[yelling]

220
00:10:09,642 --> 00:10:13,446
[strained grunts]

221
00:10:14,780 --> 00:10:17,350
[yelling]

222
00:10:18,050 --> 00:10:20,853
[kicking sounds]

223
00:10:23,956 --> 00:10:26,025
[heavy breathing]

224
00:10:27,927 --> 00:10:31,564
[Gacy] This charade of a friendship
is based on lies.

225
00:10:33,966 --> 00:10:38,671
Eventually, it will burn out.

226
00:10:39,805 --> 00:10:41,741
[loud metallic clang]

227
00:10:41,907 --> 00:10:44,377
[faint crowd noises]

228
00:10:50,850 --> 00:10:54,887
[Vic] We're back live on NXT, and
who is this pulling up?

229
00:10:56,956 --> 00:10:58,424
[laughing smoothly]

230
00:10:58,557 --> 00:11:01,794
[Booker] Oh, that's them boys, Vic.

231
00:11:01,861 --> 00:11:04,030
Talking about passing the airport test.

232
00:11:04,096 --> 00:11:05,297
Oh, yes.

233
00:11:05,564 --> 00:11:07,433
[faint crowd noises]

234
00:11:12,204 --> 00:11:15,007
If you ain't got no match, then get out of
the way.

235
00:11:16,275 --> 00:11:20,046
I believe Drew and Dempsey might have
their scheduled tag team match

236
00:11:20,112 --> 00:11:21,580
after what Schism did.

237
00:11:21,647 --> 00:11:23,349
[Carmelo Hayes' music plays]

238
00:11:23,482 --> 00:11:30,456
Please welcome Trick Williams and the NXT
champion, Carmelo Hayes.

239
00:11:30,790 --> 00:11:34,860
We got to move on to Melo and Williams
who have not had the best week.

240
00:11:34,927 --> 00:11:37,630
Let's actually go back
to last week here on NXT.

241
00:11:37,697 --> 00:11:41,467
It was after Bron Breakker beating down
Trick Williams.

242
00:11:41,534 --> 00:11:43,703
Williams was taking it.

243
00:11:43,769 --> 00:11:46,005
[crowd cheers]

244
00:11:46,939 --> 00:11:51,711
[Carmelo] Hey, hey, hey, last week
my boy defended my honor.

245
00:11:51,777 --> 00:11:53,479
He brought it to Bron Breakker.

246
00:11:56,849 --> 00:12:00,853
But after that, Bron decided that he
wanted to send me a little message.

247
00:12:02,455 --> 00:12:04,490
Well guess what, Bron?

248
00:12:05,624 --> 00:12:07,727
Message received.

249
00:12:08,928 --> 00:12:10,196
Look, you all.

250
00:12:10,262 --> 00:12:13,599
Hey, I'm well aware that this isn't
the same Bron Breakker

251
00:12:13,666 --> 00:12:16,869
from Stand & Deliver,
but what he needs to realize

252
00:12:16,936 --> 00:12:19,772
is this isn't the same
Carmelo Hayes either.

253
00:12:19,872 --> 00:12:21,373
Let's talk about it.

254
00:12:25,544 --> 00:12:29,548
Because at NXT battleground,
we in my yard.

255
00:12:29,915 --> 00:12:34,420
And in my yard, we don't bark, we bite.

256
00:12:34,620 --> 00:12:38,457
If you are this big alpha dog,
why don't you come out here

257
00:12:38,524 --> 00:12:40,693
and face me like a real one would.

258
00:12:42,895 --> 00:12:44,764
[Trick] Come out big booty bad Bron.

259
00:12:44,830 --> 00:12:47,199
[Carmelo] I know you back there.
Come out here.

260
00:12:47,266 --> 00:12:48,634
Let's get it, let's get it.

261
00:12:51,804 --> 00:12:54,907
[Charlie Dempsey's music plays]

262
00:12:55,641 --> 00:12:57,476
[disapproving whispers]

263
00:13:02,348 --> 00:13:05,851
[Drew] Mr. Melo and Mr. Williams,
your childish little sit in,

264
00:13:05,918 --> 00:13:07,920
that's gone on too long.

265
00:13:11,423 --> 00:13:15,995
Look, I don't care if you are embarrassed
because Bron Breakker

266
00:13:16,061 --> 00:13:18,397
left you beat in the middle of the ring.

267
00:13:18,597 --> 00:13:20,299
You do not disrespect us.

268
00:13:21,967 --> 00:13:23,636
[Trick] Disrespect, you all?

269
00:13:24,470 --> 00:13:27,740
[Charlie] When the two of you storm
through that building just now

270
00:13:27,807 --> 00:13:31,177
like a couple of children,
you brushed past us like we were nothing

271
00:13:31,243 --> 00:13:35,181
right as we are finding out that are tag
match tonight isn't happening.

272
00:13:39,118 --> 00:13:43,589
[Drew] Listen, our lifestyles,
they're not at all alike.

273
00:13:43,656 --> 00:13:45,191
Our flash happens in the ring.

274
00:13:45,424 --> 00:13:48,894
[crowd chants "Willy Wonka"]

275
00:13:48,961 --> 00:13:51,497
[Drew] Don't listen to them,
don't listen to them.

276
00:13:51,897 --> 00:13:55,467
We are not alike, we don't need…
[screams to the crowd] Hey, shut up.

277
00:13:55,568 --> 00:13:57,069
[crowd chants "Willy Wonka"]

278
00:13:57,136 --> 00:14:01,373
You show us respect just like
these ingrates right here.

279
00:14:02,241 --> 00:14:04,009
[Carmelo] Hey, you know what?

280
00:14:04,076 --> 00:14:06,478
Hold on, you all.

281
00:14:06,545 --> 00:14:10,282
The difference between us
and you guys is that when you guys speak,

282
00:14:10,349 --> 00:14:12,785
they chant Willy Wonka.

283
00:14:12,852 --> 00:14:16,555
When we speak, they chant Melo.

284
00:14:16,622 --> 00:14:23,295
[crowd chants "Melo"]

285
00:14:23,429 --> 00:14:24,964
[Trick] Hey, I got one for you.

286
00:14:25,030 --> 00:14:28,567
Hold on, Mr. Gulak,
Charlie and the chocolate factory.

287
00:14:32,371 --> 00:14:34,673
It seems like y'all want
a tag match tonight

288
00:14:34,740 --> 00:14:38,310
and since we are waiting on the bad booty
Breakker,

289
00:14:38,944 --> 00:14:42,214
why don't you run it tonight with the
Trick and Melo gang?

290
00:14:43,882 --> 00:14:46,952
[crowd cheers excitedly]

291
00:14:48,654 --> 00:14:53,092
[Drew] I mean, are you guys sure
you want to do that?

292
00:14:53,158 --> 00:14:54,894
It's so close to your big match.

293
00:14:55,594 --> 00:14:56,929
[crowd screams]

294
00:14:56,996 --> 00:14:59,031
[Vic] A cheap shot from Gulak and Dempsey.

295
00:14:59,098 --> 00:15:00,699
[Booker] First shot fired, Vic.

296
00:15:00,766 --> 00:15:02,334
[Vic] You ain't kidding.

297
00:15:02,401 --> 00:15:06,405
Look, if they wanted a fight,
it certainly looks like they may have one.

298
00:15:06,672 --> 00:15:08,941

[Carmelo Hayes' music plays]

300
00:15:14,213 --> 00:15:19,551
[Vic] If this match gets made official,
get ready for fireworks tonight.

301
00:15:19,919 --> 00:15:22,354
[Carmelo Hayes' music plays]

302
00:15:24,290 --> 00:15:27,526
Last week Ilja Dragunov found out
that when it comes to NXT,

303
00:15:27,593 --> 00:15:30,429
I'm the judge, the jury, and the executor.

304
00:15:30,496 --> 00:15:31,964
[Ilja] Dijak.

305
00:15:33,766 --> 00:15:36,135
[Dijak] What the hell are you doing here?

306
00:15:36,201 --> 00:15:42,007
[Ilja] You're obsessed with the idea of
breaking me, but I'm…

307
00:15:42,074 --> 00:15:44,410
[Russian language]

308
00:15:44,476 --> 00:15:48,013
Invincible, unbreakable.

309
00:15:49,548 --> 00:15:55,454
[Dijak] You seem to enjoy pain.
I enjoy inflicting it.

310
00:15:56,822 --> 00:16:02,828
[Ilja] Pain is inevitable,
but suffering is optional.

311
00:16:03,729 --> 00:16:06,799
[Dijak] There's not a man
alive that I can't break.

312
00:16:07,967 --> 00:16:10,002
[threatening music plays]

313
00:16:12,771 --> 00:16:15,774
[Ilja] I invite you to try.

315
00:16:20,579 --> 00:16:23,949

team match scheduled for one fall.

Introducing first, accompanied by Ivy
Nile, Julius and Brutus.

320
00:16:36,695 --> 00:16:39,164
The Creed brothers.

321
00:16:39,231 --> 00:16:42,234
Tag team titles on the mind of both these
teams.

322
00:16:42,301 --> 00:16:44,370
Who gets one step closer?

323
00:16:44,436 --> 00:16:47,139
Find out next on NXT.

324
00:16:54,747 --> 00:16:56,982
This is where I belong.

325
00:17:00,853 --> 00:17:04,022
Hey, what are you doing?
Hey, knock it off.

326
00:17:04,089 --> 00:17:05,958
Hey, get out of here.

327
00:17:06,024 --> 00:17:07,926
What are you doing?

328
00:17:11,096 --> 00:17:14,199
[Vic] Booker, just another
heinous unprovoked attack

329
00:17:14,299 --> 00:17:17,469
by whoever this hooded individual is.
[Joe Gacy's music plays]

330
00:17:17,536 --> 00:17:23,709
[presenter] Accompanied to the ring
by Ava, representing Schism, The Dyad.

331
00:17:23,776 --> 00:17:28,847
[Vic] That happened over the weekend
at an NXT live event.

332
00:17:31,150 --> 00:17:34,620
You just never know what's going to happen
at those NXT live events.

[Joe Gacy's music plays]

334
00:17:47,466 --> 00:17:49,234
We are live here tonight.

335
00:17:49,301 --> 00:17:54,006
Book, big tag team match moments away
between The Dyad

336
00:17:54,072 --> 00:17:55,841
and the Creed brothers.

337
00:17:55,908 --> 00:18:00,946
[Booker] I love me some tag team wrestling
and tonight we're about to get it.

338
00:18:01,013 --> 00:18:01,847
Oh, yes.

339
00:18:01,914 --> 00:18:05,818
[Vic] Schism's already been busy here
tonight attacking Wes Lee, Tyler Bate.

340
00:18:05,884 --> 00:18:08,120
We saw that earlier tonight. [bell rings]

341
00:18:08,253 --> 00:18:09,388
You think that's funny?

342
00:18:09,488 --> 00:18:10,355
[Booker] No, man.

343
00:18:10,422 --> 00:18:12,791
I'm just saying eliminate the competition.

344
00:18:12,858 --> 00:18:16,028
That's what it's all about.
I get it, I understand that part.

345
00:18:16,095 --> 00:18:17,796
It's war. It's war, man.

346
00:18:17,863 --> 00:18:22,034
[Vic] As we just saw moments ago an upset
Charlie Dempsey and Drew Gulak.

347
00:18:22,101 --> 00:18:23,669
We're focusing on this match.

348
00:18:23,735 --> 00:18:26,638
The Dyad believes that their roots will be
golden right now

349
00:18:26,705 --> 00:18:28,707
if it was not for Ivy and the Creeds.

350
00:18:28,774 --> 00:18:31,944
Of course, they battled with Gallus
for the NXT tag team titles.

351
00:18:32,010 --> 00:18:33,078
[Booker] Yes, indeed.

352
00:18:33,145 --> 00:18:35,681
You want to make sure
you keep your eyes in the back

353
00:18:35,747 --> 00:18:38,317
of your head, and I think
the Creed brothers tonight

354
00:18:38,383 --> 00:18:40,452
may have that focus that they need

355
00:18:40,519 --> 00:18:42,921
right there in their corner, that
little Ivy Nile.

356
00:18:43,121 --> 00:18:43,956
Oh, yes.

357
00:18:44,022 --> 00:18:45,557
[Vic] I'm glad you bring up Ivy.

358
00:18:45,624 --> 00:18:48,494
She's really turned around
the Creeds, though, hasn't she?

359
00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:49,895
Their mindset, I should say.

360
00:18:49,962 --> 00:18:52,731
[Booker] You know like Sherri
Martel was to Harlem Heat.

361
00:18:52,831 --> 00:18:54,233
She was our legitimizer, Vic.

362
00:18:54,299 --> 00:18:57,302
She managed that team in the ring
as well as out of the ring.

363
00:18:57,369 --> 00:18:59,404
That's the mindset that Ivy needs to have.

364
00:18:59,471 --> 00:19:02,474
[Vic] Look at Julius,
as athletic as he is strong

365
00:19:02,541 --> 00:19:06,812
and a little bit of a stalemate between
these two superstars.

366
00:19:09,114 --> 00:19:11,450
Whoa, checkmate.

367
00:19:12,417 --> 00:19:14,653
[Booker] Oh, wow. What a dropkick.

368
00:19:14,720 --> 00:19:16,221
[Vic] I bring that up because,

369
00:19:16,288 --> 00:19:19,558
do the Creed brothers need to revert back
to that amateur mindset?

370
00:19:19,625 --> 00:19:22,227
Brutus in his senior year
was undefeated in the NCAA.

371
00:19:22,294 --> 00:19:26,298
Julius who's in the ring now picking up
speed and showcasing his ability.

372
00:19:26,365 --> 00:19:28,700
[Vic] Off the tag comes in Brutus.

373
00:19:28,767 --> 00:19:29,601
ACC champion.

374
00:19:29,668 --> 00:19:31,270
[Booker] No, the Creed brothers.

375
00:19:31,336 --> 00:19:32,638
Let me tell you something.

376
00:19:32,704 --> 00:19:34,540
These guys got a hell of a background.

377
00:19:34,606 --> 00:19:36,441
They're main roster potential.

378
00:19:36,508 --> 00:19:39,311
Future world tag team champions, Vic.

379
00:19:39,378 --> 00:19:41,780
They just need to be
in the right place and time.

380
00:19:41,847 --> 00:19:42,681
Could this be it?

381
00:19:42,915 --> 00:19:43,916
[Vic] Tag was made.

382
00:19:43,982 --> 00:19:44,917
Reid coming in.

383
00:19:44,983 --> 00:19:45,951
Look at this, Book.

384
00:19:46,018 --> 00:19:47,653
It has been made official.

385
00:19:47,719 --> 00:19:49,788
Tonight, the NXT champion is in action.

386
00:19:49,855 --> 00:19:54,193
Carmelo Hayes teaming with Trick Williams
to take on Drew and Charlie.

387
00:19:54,259 --> 00:19:55,894
You can say that one more time.

388
00:19:57,296 --> 00:20:00,399
Huge tag team match still to come,
but Reid back into the ring.

389
00:20:00,999 --> 00:20:03,302
And this is what
The Dyad has done so well.

390
00:20:03,368 --> 00:20:05,537
Systematically dissect their opponents.

391
00:20:05,604 --> 00:20:09,274
Look, there's been some boiling issues
between Ivy and Ava.

392
00:20:09,341 --> 00:20:11,910
As you see Ava in the background,
there is Ivy Nile.

393
00:20:12,010 --> 00:20:15,280
Nile tired of idly standing by
while Ava continues to interfere

394
00:20:15,914 --> 00:20:18,150
on behalf of Schism and The Dyad.

395
00:20:18,317 --> 00:20:21,486
[Booker] Right there just looking
in the eyes of Ivy Nile.

396
00:20:21,553 --> 00:20:25,123
As right now she's got
a laser beam on Ava.

397
00:20:25,190 --> 00:20:27,693
You're right, Vic, she's
got to be out there.

398
00:20:27,759 --> 00:20:31,163
She's got to be on point as far as
managing these Creed brothers.

399
00:20:31,230 --> 00:20:33,565
And I think she's doing
a hell of a job tonight.

400
00:20:33,632 --> 00:20:36,168
[Vic] Look at the strength of big Bru.

401
00:20:36,602 --> 00:20:39,371
Brutus letting him just hanging out here
for one second.

402
00:20:39,438 --> 00:20:41,340
Letting all the blood rush to the head.

403
00:20:41,406 --> 00:20:43,709
This right here, this could be
dangerous, Vic.

404
00:20:43,775 --> 00:20:47,613
This could be very dangerous
for that kid Jagger Reid.

405
00:20:49,781 --> 00:20:53,385
[Vic] Reid right now, I think is just
wondering where he's going to land.

406
00:20:53,819 --> 00:20:55,420
As Brutus hands off to Julius.

407
00:20:55,621 --> 00:20:57,356
[Booker] Hell of a tag right there.

408
00:20:57,422 --> 00:20:58,523
[Vic] Big suplex.

409
00:20:58,590 --> 00:21:01,627
[Booker] It's like a relay race
right there passing the baton.

410
00:21:01,693 --> 00:21:03,695
[Vic] Yes, but with a human being, Book.

411
00:21:03,762 --> 00:21:05,998
Again, the strength… oh, nice sharp
elbow.

412
00:21:06,064 --> 00:21:07,599
Reid making the tag.

413
00:21:07,666 --> 00:21:10,969
Back in comes Fowler, and Fowler
with a nasty mean streak.

414
00:21:11,036 --> 00:21:14,206
And just unleashing right now.

415
00:21:14,273 --> 00:21:17,209
Wait a minute, he might be thinking
of a suplex of his own.

416
00:21:17,275 --> 00:21:20,512
Oh, but how the tables have turned.

417
00:21:20,579 --> 00:21:22,814
[Booker] Julius Creed is
a strong, young man.

418
00:21:22,881 --> 00:21:26,151
[Vic] Wait a minute.
[Booker] Reid is a big guy.

419
00:21:26,585 --> 00:21:27,853
This is a big man, Vic.

420
00:21:27,919 --> 00:21:31,089
[Vic] Forget about all that.
They're passing the baton again.

421
00:21:31,556 --> 00:21:32,391
[crowd screams]

422
00:21:33,025 --> 00:21:36,461
[Booker] Oh, can he do it?

423
00:21:36,528 --> 00:21:38,163
Whoa, whoa.

424
00:21:39,231 --> 00:21:41,266
[Vic] You sound like soundboard right now.

425
00:21:41,333 --> 00:21:42,367
Are you all right?

426
00:21:43,702 --> 00:21:44,670
Again?

427
00:21:44,736 --> 00:21:45,871
[Booker] One more time.

428
00:21:45,937 --> 00:21:47,339
[Vic] Third time the charm.

429
00:21:47,406 --> 00:21:50,242
[Booker] You got to be kidding me, Vic.

430
00:21:50,309 --> 00:21:54,146
The Creeds are absolute
machines in the ring.

431
00:21:54,312 --> 00:21:55,514
Finally into the cover.

432
00:21:55,714 --> 00:21:57,949
Hook of the leg and a near fall.

433
00:21:58,050 --> 00:22:00,852
You got to give credit to Fowler
for kicking out of that.

434
00:22:00,919 --> 00:22:03,121
[Booker] Fowler's on dream
street right now.

435
00:22:03,188 --> 00:22:05,390
[Vic] We talk about the tag team division.

436
00:22:05,457 --> 00:22:07,659
It revolves around Gallus.

437
00:22:07,726 --> 00:22:10,429
We've seen Brutus and Julius
have the back of Ivy Nile.

438
00:22:10,495 --> 00:22:13,198
Ivy out there shouting
right now at the Creeds.

439
00:22:13,265 --> 00:22:15,801
Liking what she sees,
but you got to wonder how much

440
00:22:15,867 --> 00:22:18,503
has been taken out of the creeds
after those suplexes.

441
00:22:18,570 --> 00:22:20,072
[Booker] Oh, beautiful.

442
00:22:20,138 --> 00:22:22,240
[Vic] A the two-on-one
combination offense.

443
00:22:22,307 --> 00:22:25,210
And before Julius so close, but
Brutus gets wiped out.

444
00:22:25,277 --> 00:22:29,181
The Dyad has changed
the complexion of this matchup.

445
00:22:29,247 --> 00:22:33,618
Enzuigiri flatliner combination into a
koji clutch.

446
00:22:33,885 --> 00:22:38,023
[Booker] Joe Gacy got
this team 100% on point tonight.

447
00:22:38,724 --> 00:22:42,294
[Vic] Julius, look at
his eyes trying to fight.

448
00:22:42,360 --> 00:22:43,628
Shoulders could be down.

449
00:22:43,695 --> 00:22:48,567
Nice job by the official,
and look at Fowler just stomping away

450
00:22:48,633 --> 00:22:54,673
on Julius who's fading right now,
as the koji clutch is cinched in.

451
00:22:54,740 --> 00:22:55,874
Is Julius going to tap?

452
00:22:55,941 --> 00:22:58,543
[Booker] The Dyad right now has a plan

453
00:22:58,610 --> 00:23:01,179
and they are executing that plan
to perfection, Vic.

454
00:23:01,246 --> 00:23:03,715
Trying to get a big win
over the Creed brothers.

455
00:23:03,782 --> 00:23:05,617
[Vic] Trying to fight is Julius.

456
00:23:05,684 --> 00:23:08,086
There's Ivy out there firing up.

457
00:23:08,153 --> 00:23:10,722
Julius somehow powering his way through.

458
00:23:10,789 --> 00:23:13,825
[Booker] You got to be kidding me.
[Vic] Falls into the cover.

459
00:23:13,892 --> 00:23:15,160
It's a near fall.

460
00:23:15,227 --> 00:23:17,362
Both these teams slugging it out.

461
00:23:22,234 --> 00:23:25,470
[Vic] Highly contested tag team matchup
continuing here on NXT.

462
00:23:25,537 --> 00:23:27,672
As you saw throughout
the commercial break.

463
00:23:27,739 --> 00:23:30,542
It has been all Dyad here against
the Creed brothers.

464
00:23:30,609 --> 00:23:33,211
Right now it is Reid in control of Julius.

465
00:23:33,311 --> 00:23:35,280
Booker, you brought up Joe Gacy earlier.

466
00:23:35,347 --> 00:23:36,782
Joe Gacy not out here.

467
00:23:36,848 --> 00:23:39,117
He has apparently focused
himself elsewhere

468
00:23:39,184 --> 00:23:42,354
over the last few weeks, so
that leaves Ava.

469
00:23:42,421 --> 00:23:45,857
Is she the one pulling the strings,
so to speak, for the Schism?

470
00:23:45,924 --> 00:23:48,160
[Booker] I think so.
Joe Gacy is a smart dude.

471
00:23:48,226 --> 00:23:51,563
He understands the big picture,
and that's tag team gold.

472
00:23:51,630 --> 00:23:52,964
That's individual gold.

473
00:23:53,031 --> 00:23:55,801
He's all about multitasking, Vic.

474
00:23:56,501 --> 00:23:59,738
[Vic] As the old saying, he
who has the gold has the power.

475
00:23:59,805 --> 00:24:02,007
That is exactly what Schism
is looking for.

476
00:24:02,073 --> 00:24:04,075
As Brutus is looking for a tag right now,

477
00:24:04,142 --> 00:24:07,946
his brother a long way away
from being able to tag Brutus

478
00:24:08,013 --> 00:24:11,650
into the matchup, and Julius has taken
quite a lot of punishment

479
00:24:11,716 --> 00:24:13,185
in the last few moments.

480
00:24:13,251 --> 00:24:15,220
[Booker] Reeling and grinding right now.

481
00:24:15,287 --> 00:24:17,923
Keeping Julius real
close to the body, Vic.

482
00:24:17,989 --> 00:24:20,725
That's what you got to do
to a couple of guys like this.

483
00:24:20,792 --> 00:24:22,160
a couple of wrestlers.

484
00:24:22,227 --> 00:24:25,030
Oh, yes, here we go.
That's what I'm talking about.

485
00:24:25,096 --> 00:24:26,765
[Vic] A little slingshot suplex.

486
00:24:26,832 --> 00:24:29,100
[Booker] That little bit
of space in between.

487
00:24:29,167 --> 00:24:31,770
Look where Reid landed,
in his corner though.

488
00:24:31,837 --> 00:24:33,805
Allowing Fowler to make the tag quickly.

489
00:24:33,872 --> 00:24:37,108
[Booker] Fowler, you just look
at this kid on television.

490
00:24:37,175 --> 00:24:39,845
You don't know how big this guy is,
here comes Brutus.

491
00:24:39,911 --> 00:24:42,247
[Vic] Julius overcoming. [Booker] Yes.

492
00:24:42,314 --> 00:24:45,016
Brutus off the top
and that's a big man to be flying.

493
00:24:45,083 --> 00:24:47,552
Right now Brutus in smash mode.

494
00:24:47,619 --> 00:24:50,021
[Booker] He's a big guy, but
he's very athletic.

495
00:24:50,422 --> 00:24:53,458
Very agile, mobile for a guy his size.

496
00:24:54,059 --> 00:24:57,062
That's what I'm talking about.
You see that?

497
00:24:57,262 --> 00:24:58,797
[Vic] Look at Brutus go.

498
00:24:59,598 --> 00:25:02,968
[Booker] Oh, smash, smash.
Ground and pound.

499
00:25:05,203 --> 00:25:06,705
[Vic] Brutus fired up.

500
00:25:06,771 --> 00:25:10,942
He's been waiting patiently to get his
hands on The Dyad.

501
00:25:11,042 --> 00:25:14,479
And now thinking about it one more time,
going right back in.

502
00:25:16,882 --> 00:25:18,283
I feel bad now for Fowler.

503
00:25:19,217 --> 00:25:20,552
Relentless.

504
00:25:20,619 --> 00:25:22,921
[Booker] Big Brutus smash
right there, Vic.

505
00:25:22,988 --> 00:25:25,090
I like it, I like it.

506
00:25:25,156 --> 00:25:27,225
Just letting it all hang out right now.

507
00:25:27,292 --> 00:25:28,493
Yes.

508
00:25:29,561 --> 00:25:32,931
[Vic] Brutus showing that strength
on display one more time.

509
00:25:33,598 --> 00:25:35,166
Walking around.

510
00:25:35,267 --> 00:25:37,335
Letting Fowler think about it.

511
00:25:37,402 --> 00:25:38,703
[Booker] Prefect landing.

512
00:25:38,770 --> 00:25:41,473
Perfect 10 right there right
in the middle of the ring.

513
00:25:43,108 --> 00:25:46,945
[Vic] Fowler left shoulder
just getting off the mat.

514
00:25:47,012 --> 00:25:50,448
That would've been a big win
for the Creed brothers.

515
00:25:50,515 --> 00:25:54,886
As Brutus now looking around
and gets a little bit distracted.

516
00:25:54,953 --> 00:25:59,925
That momentary hesitation opens the door,
and this is textbook Dyad.

517
00:25:59,991 --> 00:26:01,660
[Booker] Four roots, one tree.

518
00:26:02,027 --> 00:26:04,162
The only thing missing is tag team gold.

519
00:26:04,229 --> 00:26:06,932
These guys haven't been able
to achieve here in NXT.

520
00:26:06,998 --> 00:26:08,700
So close, so close.

521
00:26:08,767 --> 00:26:09,901
[Vic] Shoulders down.

522
00:26:10,635 --> 00:26:11,536
Speaking of close.

523
00:26:11,603 --> 00:26:13,104
A little two for one.

524
00:26:13,171 --> 00:26:14,472
Can he pin both of them?

525
00:26:15,140 --> 00:26:16,975
They both kicked out.

526
00:26:17,042 --> 00:26:19,945
What a combination with
the northern lights suplex to boot.

527
00:26:20,011 --> 00:26:21,046
[Booker] Yes, indeed.

528
00:26:21,112 --> 00:26:23,348
I don't think I've ever
seen that one before.

529
00:26:23,949 --> 00:26:25,917
[Vic] Brutus reaching back, tagging in.

530
00:26:25,984 --> 00:26:27,852
There is Julius.

531
00:26:27,919 --> 00:26:30,789
Somehow fighting for his life is Reid.

532
00:26:31,356 --> 00:26:35,560
Reid picking up steam
and just gets pounced out of midair.

533
00:26:35,860 --> 00:26:37,128
[Booker] Wow.

534
00:26:37,195 --> 00:26:40,365
[Vic] I'm looking around as we see
all the offense in the ring.

535
00:26:41,499 --> 00:26:42,934
Where did Ava go?

536
00:26:43,101 --> 00:26:44,703
[Booker] I don't know.

537
00:26:44,769 --> 00:26:46,571
[Vic] Fowler trying to answer back.

538
00:26:46,638 --> 00:26:52,043
Clotheslines, clubbing blows,
I don't know if this the right strategy

539
00:26:52,110 --> 00:26:54,579
here for Fowler to try to
slug it out with Brutus.

540
00:26:54,646 --> 00:26:58,450
[Booker] You don't want to go toe-to-toe
with Brutus, he is strong, agile.

541
00:26:58,516 --> 00:27:01,886
Right there both men got the worse
of that one right there, though.

542
00:27:01,953 --> 00:27:04,022
[Vic] Both superstars down.

543
00:27:04,089 --> 00:27:08,526

this has been.

547
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:27,245
What is Julius, what's Reid thinking?

548
00:27:28,046 --> 00:27:30,849
Are they yelling at each other? Book!

549
00:27:32,784 --> 00:27:33,651
[Vic] Add it up.

550
00:27:33,718 --> 00:27:35,420
That was a 900.

551
00:27:41,126 --> 00:27:43,628
And they're not even
the legal superstars, Booker.

552
00:27:43,695 --> 00:27:46,097
[Vic] Things breaking down.
[Booker] Oh, yes.

553

great tonight, Vic.

556

He's better than I've ever seen him.

557
00:27:59,844 --> 00:28:01,713
Whoa, ran into a big shot.

558

Looking for a powerbomb, and nice counter.

561

on point here tonight, Vic.

Oh, no, Nile making her pay.

569

the Creeds in the right mindset.

name is associated with.

Mr. D'Angelo in for questioning.

618

Questioning? For what?

619
00:31:19,177 --> 00:31:21,446
[Booker] Don't say it, Vic.
Don't say nothing.

620

00:35:01,532 --> 00:35:02,600
Okay?

683
00:35:02,667 --> 00:35:05,636
We're here to talk about many things,
but not the cup.

684
00:35:05,703 --> 00:35:08,005
Dragon, I know all about you.

685
00:35:08,072 --> 00:35:10,808
You're a champion in three continents.

686
00:35:10,875 --> 00:35:15,980
You're a bonified celebrity in Mexico.

687
00:35:16,147 --> 00:35:18,883
[Dragon] Hey, be careful with my country.

688
00:35:18,950 --> 00:35:20,685
[Spanish language]

689
00:35:25,056 --> 00:35:30,061
I love my Mexican people,
their passion, their spirit.

690
00:35:30,595 --> 00:35:36,234
The same type of spirit and passion
the NXT universe has shown me.

691
00:35:36,300 --> 00:35:38,002
[Spanish language]

692
00:35:38,870 --> 00:35:45,309
[Noam] You see, that passion
and pride that you have for your heritage

693
00:35:45,743 --> 00:35:50,848
is exactly the passion and pride
that I have for my heritage cup.

694
00:35:50,948 --> 00:35:53,551
But dragon let me ask you,
how does it feel

695
00:35:53,618 --> 00:35:57,989
knowing that this is the closest
you'll ever going to be to this cup?

696
00:35:58,055 --> 00:36:00,725
[Dragon] You keep talking
[Spanish language]

697
00:36:00,791 --> 00:36:03,261
Sounds like you want to defend it.

698
00:36:03,327 --> 00:36:04,362
[Noam] Whoa, whoa.

699
00:36:05,096 --> 00:36:07,165
[Spanish language]

700
00:36:07,732 --> 00:36:10,501
Can I have the level two
Spanish book, please?

701
00:36:10,735 --> 00:36:16,040
[Dragon] Noam, I think you
have to defend it.

702
00:36:19,677 --> 00:36:21,145
[Noam] Oh, my reptilian mate.

703
00:36:21,212 --> 00:36:23,648
I don't think you know
what you're asking for.

704
00:36:24,115 --> 00:36:29,687
Cinq plus uno, three-minute rounds.

705
00:36:29,987 --> 00:36:32,290
Two out of three falls.

706
00:36:32,356 --> 00:36:35,526
You have to be a master at this game
to have a clue what to do.

707
00:36:35,593 --> 00:36:40,731
Plus, it's not as easy as just asking
for a championship match.

708
00:36:40,798 --> 00:36:43,768
There are procedures, there are protocols.

709
00:36:43,834 --> 00:36:47,705
There's many forms, mucho forms,
you have to write in English…

710
00:36:47,772 --> 00:36:50,107
[Dragon] Hey, hold it, hold it, hold it.

711
00:36:50,841 --> 00:36:52,043
All right.

712
00:36:52,743 --> 00:36:56,948
[Nathan] I'm sorry to do this to you,
Noam, but I just have to expose you

713
00:36:57,949 --> 00:36:59,617
as a massive fraud.

714
00:36:59,684 --> 00:37:01,852
[Noam] What? You're not supposed
to be here.

715
00:37:01,919 --> 00:37:04,055
Security, get this man out.

716
00:37:04,121 --> 00:37:07,325
[Nathan] In a hard-hitting home truth
is that it doesn't matter

717
00:37:07,391 --> 00:37:10,494
how many rules that you magically make up.

718
00:37:10,561 --> 00:37:14,398
That cup is not an annual trophy,
it has to be defended

719
00:37:14,465 --> 00:37:18,336
just like every other championship in WWE.

720
00:37:18,636 --> 00:37:20,104
[crowd claps]

721
00:37:20,171 --> 00:37:23,975
The fact that you're the champion,
that you hold that cup,

722
00:37:24,041 --> 00:37:26,243
that don't make you HBK, pal. All right?

723
00:37:26,310 --> 00:37:29,647
You don't get to choose who, when,
and where to defend that thing.

724
00:37:29,880 --> 00:37:34,919
[Noam] Nathan, he no able English.
He no able English.

725
00:37:35,453 --> 00:37:38,756
[Nathan] Dude's been speaking English
for like two months already.

726
00:37:38,823 --> 00:37:40,391
He clearly understands English.

727
00:37:40,891 --> 00:37:44,328
And because he understands English,
I'm going to tell you this Dragon.

728
00:37:44,862 --> 00:37:51,269
I speak on behalf of literally everyone
when I say that we would love

729
00:37:51,335 --> 00:37:56,307
to see you take on Noam Dar for the
heritage cup championship in this country.

730
00:37:56,440 --> 00:37:58,009
[Noam] Okay.

731
00:37:58,075 --> 00:38:00,544
Maybe if he gets a form filled out.

732
00:38:00,611 --> 00:38:02,346
[Dragon] This is what we're doing.

733
00:38:02,413 --> 00:38:03,447
[Spanish language]

734
00:38:03,514 --> 00:38:04,548
In battleground.

735
00:38:04,615 --> 00:38:06,517
What do you say?

736
00:38:06,584 --> 00:38:08,052
[Noam] No way.

737
00:38:08,185 --> 00:38:10,388
[Nathan] Hey, battleground
sounds good to us.

738
00:38:10,454 --> 00:38:13,357
Let's run that up the flag pole,
but just know this, Noam.

739
00:38:15,960 --> 00:38:19,530
If you happen to lose that precious
little baby of yours at battleground

740
00:38:19,597 --> 00:38:21,565
you could always give Alicia Fox a call.

741
00:38:21,632 --> 00:38:23,668
I'm sure she'd be
willing to take you back.

742
00:38:23,768 --> 00:38:26,070
[Noam] Okay, okay, funny guys.

743
00:38:26,137 --> 00:38:29,674
You want a championship
match against Supernova?

744
00:38:29,740 --> 00:38:34,111
How about this, me and you battleground,
you've got it.

745
00:38:34,178 --> 00:38:36,947
And you'll see exactly
why I'm the best at this.

746
00:38:37,381 --> 00:38:41,719
Nathan, for having the audacity
to interrupt supernova sessions

747
00:38:41,786 --> 00:38:45,790
live in the us, I next week, I'm going to
kick your ass.

748
00:38:45,856 --> 00:38:48,459
and it's going to be non-championship.

749
00:38:48,626 --> 00:38:52,697
Normal match because that's all you
or these people deserve.

750
00:38:52,763 --> 00:38:54,732
Thank you. Bye-bye.

751
00:38:54,799 --> 00:38:56,334
Play the funky music.

752
00:38:56,400 --> 00:38:57,768
Check, please.

753
00:38:57,835 --> 00:39:00,304
Check, please.
[Supernova sessions music plays]

754
00:39:00,971 --> 00:39:03,708
[Vic] I don't know
if this is what Noam Dar had in mind

755
00:39:04,008 --> 00:39:07,645
but is Dar feeling the heritage cup
slip through his grasp?

756
00:39:10,047 --> 00:39:11,682
[stifled breathing]

757
00:39:20,357 --> 00:39:22,093
[hit sound]

758
00:39:24,795 --> 00:39:26,564
[Dijak] Had enough?

759
00:39:36,374 --> 00:39:37,975
[Ilja] Not even close.

760
00:39:38,042 --> 00:39:40,478
[stifled breathing]

761
00:39:49,286 --> 00:39:51,255
[Carmelo Hayes' music plays]

762
00:39:53,424 --> 00:39:54,792
[bell rings]

763
00:39:55,826 --> 00:39:59,630
[presenter] The following contest is
a tag team match scheduled for one fall.

764
00:39:59,697 --> 00:40:04,568
Introducing first, the team of Trick
Williams and the NXT champion,

765
00:40:04,635 --> 00:40:07,071
Carmelo Hayes.

766
00:40:07,138 --> 00:40:11,275
[Vic] Sit back and get ready.
The NXT champion in tag team action.

767
00:40:11,342 --> 00:40:13,010
Next live on NXT.

768
00:40:15,913 --> 00:40:18,849
[Mackenzie] Jacy Jayne tonight
in your quarter finals match

769
00:40:18,916 --> 00:40:21,819
you face the favorite to win it
all in Roxanne Perez.

770
00:40:21,886 --> 00:40:26,056
How confident are you that you
can get past a former NXT champion?

771
00:40:26,123 --> 00:40:29,727
[Jacy] Honestly, Mackenzie,
I'm not confident at all.

772
00:40:29,794 --> 00:40:33,330
I don't even know why we're having
this match tonight.

773
00:40:33,998 --> 00:40:35,733
[laughs]

774
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:38,435
Come on, it's me.

775
00:40:38,502 --> 00:40:40,905
Mackenzie, I'm going to need
some better questions

776
00:40:40,971 --> 00:40:42,640
when I'm the women's champion.

777
00:40:42,706 --> 00:40:45,943
Now, let's be honest, Roxanne's time
has come and gone.

778
00:40:46,010 --> 00:40:49,814
And after I eliminate her tonight,
I'm going to move forward

779
00:40:49,880 --> 00:40:54,118
to the semi-finals where I
wanted to face Gigi Dolin.

780
00:40:54,718 --> 00:41:00,391
Of course she proved to everyone
exactly what I've been saying for months

781
00:41:00,458 --> 00:41:03,461
that she is nothing more than a failure.

782
00:41:03,527 --> 00:41:08,632
She failed at being a good daughter, a
good sister, a good friend.

783
00:41:08,966 --> 00:41:14,004
And she failed at winning the NXT women's
championship yet again.

784
00:41:14,104 --> 00:41:17,374
Me, on the other hand, I'm a winner.

785
00:41:17,441 --> 00:41:19,376
I'm the complete opposite.

786
00:41:19,677 --> 00:41:25,316
I guess I'll just have to picture
Gigi's face when I kick Roxanne's head in

787
00:41:25,382 --> 00:41:31,755
and take the next step forward in
becoming the new NXT women's champion.

788
00:41:35,192 --> 00:41:36,093
[bell rings]

789
00:41:36,160 --> 00:41:38,829
[Vic] The final quarter final
matchup still to come.

790
00:41:38,896 --> 00:41:41,265
And this match was made official

791
00:41:41,332 --> 00:41:44,068
after Drew Gulak and
Charlie Gempsey tried to cheap shot

792
00:41:44,134 --> 00:41:46,937
Trick Williams and Carmelo
Hayes, let's call what it was.

793
00:41:47,004 --> 00:41:50,341
Gulak and Dempsey were prepared
to face Tyler bate and Wes Lee

794
00:41:50,407 --> 00:41:53,677
who were attacked by Schism
and instead they found themselves

795
00:41:53,744 --> 00:41:57,214
in a fight with the NXT champion
and Trick Williams.

796
00:41:57,281 --> 00:41:59,016
[Booker] It's about a pay day.

797
00:41:59,083 --> 00:42:00,317
[Vic] That's true.

798
00:42:00,384 --> 00:42:02,353
[Booker] We got to get back in the game.

799
00:42:02,419 --> 00:42:04,889
Trick Williams, Carmelo, let's do this.

800
00:42:04,955 --> 00:42:07,291
[Vic] They wanted a fight,
they have one now.

801
00:42:07,358 --> 00:42:09,493
You got to imagine as
Dempsey now backslide.

802
00:42:09,560 --> 00:42:12,329
[Vic] Williams' shoulders are down.
[Booker] Oh, wow.

803
00:42:12,396 --> 00:42:14,231
[Vic] Nice, bridge and a kick out.

804
00:42:14,298 --> 00:42:16,834
Hayes and Williams were coming
to the arena tonight,

805
00:42:16,901 --> 00:42:19,203
they did not expect expect to have a
matchup.

806
00:42:19,270 --> 00:42:21,772
but they had to turn their mindset around.

807
00:42:21,839 --> 00:42:24,975
Excuse me, Dempsey and Gulak had to
change their mindset around

808
00:42:25,042 --> 00:42:27,511
thinking they were facing
Tyler Bate and Wes Lee.

809
00:42:27,578 --> 00:42:29,280
[Booker] Check out Trick Williams.

810
00:42:29,346 --> 00:42:32,116
He makes it look so good,
after that matchup last week.

811
00:42:32,182 --> 00:42:34,418
When Bron Breakker had something to prove.

812
00:42:34,485 --> 00:42:36,921
[Vic] Did he impress you?
[Booker] Yes, look here.

813
00:42:36,987 --> 00:42:39,857
Williams went toe-to-toe with the
former NXT champion.

814
00:42:39,924 --> 00:42:41,992
That tells me a lot about this young man.

815
00:42:42,059 --> 00:42:44,461
He's about to show up and show out.

816
00:42:44,528 --> 00:42:46,463
[Vic] This is the current NXT champion.

817
00:42:46,530 --> 00:42:48,432
The NXT universe squarely behind him.

818
00:42:48,499 --> 00:42:52,403
You can see the ribs heavily damaged
after a few weeks of spears.

819
00:42:52,469 --> 00:42:55,539
Not to mention Carmelo Hayes
went through our stage over here,

820
00:42:55,606 --> 00:42:57,808
right to our left,
not at a hundred percent.

821
00:42:57,875 --> 00:42:59,710
That's not going to stop Carmelo Hayes

822
00:42:59,777 --> 00:43:02,046
from getting in and grappling
with the best.

823
00:43:02,112 --> 00:43:05,082
When it comes to grappling students
in the game, you think of Drew Gulak.

824
00:43:05,149 --> 00:43:06,584
You think of Charlie Dempsey.

825
00:43:06,650 --> 00:43:07,618
[Booker] Yes.

826
00:43:07,685 --> 00:43:09,920
Drew Gulak came in
and then to that soft spot

827
00:43:09,987 --> 00:43:11,789
of Carmelo Hayes, those ribs.

828
00:43:11,855 --> 00:43:13,157
That's a veteran move.

829
00:43:13,223 --> 00:43:15,859
That's somebody that's smart to the
business.

830
00:43:15,926 --> 00:43:19,063
And Drew Gulak is one of the best
grapplers in this business.

831
00:43:19,129 --> 00:43:20,364
Oh, beautiful.

832
00:43:20,431 --> 00:43:22,066
[Vic] There is Hayes back on top.

833
00:43:22,132 --> 00:43:24,568
Hayes says he is headed to
Lowell, Massachusetts.

834
00:43:24,635 --> 00:43:28,172
As champion at NXT battleground to prove
he's not the same Carmelo Hayes

835
00:43:28,238 --> 00:43:29,840
from Los Angeles.

836
00:43:29,907 --> 00:43:32,242
He has to protect home court on may 28th.

837
00:43:32,309 --> 00:43:36,313
Tickets, of course, on sale now only at
tsongascenter.com.

838
00:43:36,380 --> 00:43:40,184
The question, is Hayes too emotional
heading into NXT battleground?

839
00:43:40,250 --> 00:43:43,253
[Booker] You need those emotions
in this business, Vic.

840
00:43:43,320 --> 00:43:46,991
But you look at Bron Breakker…
[Vic] shoulders down, shoulders down.

841
00:43:47,057 --> 00:43:48,659
The champion just kicked out.

842
00:43:48,726 --> 00:43:52,863
[Booker] The aggression of Bron Breakker,
but the one thing Carmelo Hayes got go to

843
00:43:52,930 --> 00:43:55,799
is he took Bron Breakker's
best shot. Not once, but twice.

844
00:43:55,866 --> 00:43:59,169
It's not how you get knocked down,
it's if you can keep getting up.

845
00:43:59,236 --> 00:44:01,972
[Vic] There is a bullseye on
the body of Carmelo Hayes.

846
00:44:02,039 --> 00:44:05,175
And for Gulak and Dempsey, they
are targeting the ribs.

847
00:44:05,242 --> 00:44:08,278
They're targeting the left side of
the body of the NXT champion.

848
00:44:10,214 --> 00:44:14,885
Devastating tag team offense,
forearm across the face, and a kick out.

849
00:44:14,952 --> 00:44:19,590
[Vic] Look, Dempsey and…
[Booker] Oh, beautiful armbar right there.

850
00:44:19,656 --> 00:44:22,626
[Vic] They were rudely greeted
in their eyes earlier tonight

851
00:44:22,693 --> 00:44:27,031
by their opponents tonight, but is it wise
to accuse Williams and Carmelo Hayes

852
00:44:27,097 --> 00:44:28,832
in the mindset that they're in?

853
00:44:28,899 --> 00:44:31,635
[Booker] Vic, that's mind games.
That's strategy.

854
00:44:31,702 --> 00:44:33,704
That's reverse psychology.

855
00:44:33,771 --> 00:44:35,673
Let's get these guys in the ring first.

856
00:44:35,739 --> 00:44:37,875
Let's do that. Let's get a victory.

857
00:44:37,941 --> 00:44:41,712
Second. Let's go out here,
show up… here we go.

858
00:44:41,779 --> 00:44:45,849
It's not looking like a smart strategy
because Williams and Hayes on short notice

859
00:44:45,916 --> 00:44:47,685
are taking it to Dempsey and Gulak.

860
00:44:47,751 --> 00:44:50,621
[Booker] What are you talking about?
Look at Dempsey.

861
00:44:52,122 --> 00:44:55,726
Drew Gulak sees something special
in this young man, Dempsey.

862
00:44:55,793 --> 00:44:59,763
He's a raw piece of clay that's looking to
be molded into a masterpiece.

863
00:45:00,064 --> 00:45:02,332
That's what this young man could be.

864
00:45:02,399 --> 00:45:05,903
[Vic] It doesn't look like a masterpiece
now when it's two on one.

865
00:45:05,969 --> 00:45:11,075
Oh, Trick Williams burying Dempsey
into the mat, into the cover

866
00:45:11,141 --> 00:45:12,609
and a kick out.

867
00:45:12,676 --> 00:45:14,311
[Booker] You see the combination?

868
00:45:14,378 --> 00:45:16,213
See that switch by Charlie Dempsey?

869
00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:17,915
This kid know his business, Vic.

870
00:45:17,981 --> 00:45:20,551
[Vic] Take a look at athleticism
on display. Bam.

871
00:45:20,617 --> 00:45:23,087
A bit of what we saw
from Williams last week

872
00:45:23,153 --> 00:45:26,190
against Bron Breakker but a cheap shot to
the throat by Gulak.

873
00:45:26,256 --> 00:45:28,225
[Booker] What are you talking about?

874
00:45:28,292 --> 00:45:30,494
[Vic] Gulak's not legal.
That's a cheap shot.

875
00:45:30,561 --> 00:45:35,833
That's called tag expertise right there
coming from Drew Gulak.

876
00:45:39,203 --> 00:45:43,340
Okay, now we're back into the matchup
as Gulak in control.

877
00:45:44,174 --> 00:45:45,442
And Dempsey.

878
00:45:45,943 --> 00:45:49,113
You talk about cheap shots, Book.
Gulak not following the rules.

879
00:45:49,179 --> 00:45:52,249
Dempsey trying to get out,
was looking for another cheap shot.

880
00:45:52,316 --> 00:45:55,986
Nice job by the official to regain order,
but it's Gulak and Dempsey

881
00:45:56,053 --> 00:45:58,122
who have regained control.

882
00:45:58,188 --> 00:46:00,224
Gulak's ripping at the hair of Williams.

883
00:46:00,290 --> 00:46:01,592
Is this legal?

884
00:46:01,658 --> 00:46:02,626
It's not legal.

885
00:46:02,693 --> 00:46:04,495
[Booker] What are you talking about?

886
00:46:04,628 --> 00:46:07,731
That's a piece of the body.
It's not a vulnerable spot.

887
00:46:07,798 --> 00:46:08,632
It's hair.

888
00:46:08,699 --> 00:46:10,801
[Vic] Gulak shoots
the half into the cover.

889
00:46:10,868 --> 00:46:12,936
I'm going to have to go back to school.

890
00:46:13,003 --> 00:46:14,872
You own a wrestling school, don't you?

891
00:46:14,938 --> 00:46:15,906
[Booker] Yes, I do.

892
00:46:16,740 --> 00:46:18,542
One of the greatest of all time.

893
00:46:18,609 --> 00:46:20,711
One of the best wrestling schools
in Texas.

894
00:46:21,645 --> 00:46:25,482
[Vic] Right now. Nice German suplex right
in and double up.

895
00:46:25,549 --> 00:46:27,284
[Booker] Double up. Oh, yes.

896
00:46:27,351 --> 00:46:28,719
[Vic] Nice bridge as well.

897
00:46:28,786 --> 00:46:31,155
Cover and Williams
able to kick out at two.

898
00:46:31,221 --> 00:46:34,124
[Booker] You can tell the ribs
are hurting Carmelo Hayes.

899
00:46:34,191 --> 00:46:37,594
but I thought he came in there and broke
that cover up right there.

900
00:46:37,661 --> 00:46:39,296
[Vic] Williams trying to fight.

901
00:46:39,363 --> 00:46:40,798
You bring up a good point.

902
00:46:40,864 --> 00:46:42,499
Hayes is not at 100%.

903
00:46:42,566 --> 00:46:45,102
Trick Williams went through
a battle last week.

904
00:46:45,169 --> 00:46:48,438
You talk about Gulak and Dempsey
picking a spot, looking for

905
00:46:48,505 --> 00:46:50,941
that big check, looking for that big win.

906
00:46:51,008 --> 00:46:53,877
They could be minutes, moments,
and seconds away from it.

907
00:46:53,944 --> 00:46:57,614
But Williams a nice counter reaching out,
and here comes the NXT champion.

908
00:46:57,681 --> 00:47:02,286
[Booker] He's going to have
to suck it up, that man. Carmelo Hayes.

909
00:47:02,352 --> 00:47:05,956
Here because Gulak and
Dempsey have been rolling.

910
00:47:07,257 --> 00:47:08,959
[Vic] Right under the jaw. Tag.

911
00:47:09,026 --> 00:47:13,096
Dempsey's now legal, and the NXT champion
don't give a damn who's legal.

912
00:47:13,163 --> 00:47:15,699
[Vic] He check everything that moves.
[Booker] Wow.

913
00:47:15,766 --> 00:47:19,169
Did you see the distance
on that big flying spot right there

914
00:47:19,269 --> 00:47:21,104
by this man, Carmelo Hayes?

915
00:47:21,171 --> 00:47:24,374
[Vic] I saw the impact as well
and I see the counter and I see

916
00:47:24,441 --> 00:47:25,876
a bad landing for Dempsey.

917
00:47:25,943 --> 00:47:28,011
As Hayes into the cover.

918
00:47:28,078 --> 00:47:30,280
Oh, and Gulak breaking the count.

919
00:47:30,347 --> 00:47:33,116
Hayes trying to counter.

920
00:47:33,183 --> 00:47:35,152
Champion making a tag in his own right.

921
00:47:35,219 --> 00:47:36,753
Williams is legal.

922
00:47:36,820 --> 00:47:40,290
It's Williams and Dempsey
who are the two legal superstars?

923
00:47:42,392 --> 00:47:46,029
[Booker] Trick Williams, like I said,
this guy is not a math technician

924
00:47:46,096 --> 00:47:47,531
or anything like that.

925
00:47:47,598 --> 00:47:48,899
He is street fighter, Vic.

926
00:47:48,966 --> 00:47:52,703
He can go out there, hit you
with one big shot and it could be over.

927
00:47:52,769 --> 00:47:55,839
[Vic] That could be it, Book. Tag.

928
00:47:55,906 --> 00:47:57,241
In comes Hayes.

929
00:47:57,307 --> 00:48:01,645
Calling his shot, and when
he shoots, he don't miss.

930
00:48:01,712 --> 00:48:04,481
Nothing but net.

931
00:48:04,548 --> 00:48:05,782
Into the cover.

932
00:48:05,849 --> 00:48:07,951
[crowd chants "one, two, three"]

933
00:48:08,886 --> 00:48:10,020
[bell rings]

934
00:48:10,153 --> 00:48:13,257
[Carmelo Hayes' music plays]

935
00:48:14,725 --> 00:48:18,462
[presenter] Here are your winners,
the team of Trick Williams

936
00:48:18,528 --> 00:48:22,432
and the NXT champion, Carmelo Hayes.

937
00:48:22,499 --> 00:48:26,203
[Vic] I know Gulak and Dempsey were
scheduled to face Lee and Bate.

938
00:48:26,270 --> 00:48:29,273
They got Hayes and Williams
on short notice.

939
00:48:29,339 --> 00:48:33,210
And in the end, Hayes and Williams
brought their a game.

940
00:48:33,277 --> 00:48:34,745
Bam.

941
00:48:34,811 --> 00:48:39,650
NXT champion soaring from the top,
securing a huge victory

942
00:48:41,051 --> 00:48:45,455
for himself and Williams
here tonight on NXT.

943
00:48:45,522 --> 00:48:51,061
[Trick] That's another win
for the trick Melo gang.

944
00:48:51,695 --> 00:48:56,533
[Carmelo] Hey, as we were saying, Bron.

945
00:49:02,806 --> 00:49:04,441
[Bron] Hey, Melo.

946
00:49:05,042 --> 00:49:06,944
Hey, Melo, I'm up here.

947
00:49:07,577 --> 00:49:11,648
Hey, Melo, how do your ribs feel
after I sped you out of the sky last week?

948
00:49:11,715 --> 00:49:13,116
[chuckles]

949
00:49:13,750 --> 00:49:17,287
See, you're going to have to wait
just a little longer

950
00:49:17,354 --> 00:49:20,424
because I made a pit stop
on my way to the arena.

951
00:49:20,590 --> 00:49:25,529
But I got to say, the energy in this place
is just not the same today.

952
00:49:26,897 --> 00:49:30,200
This place usually jumping. What's up?

953
00:49:31,368 --> 00:49:33,737
What's up? Why is everybody so nervous?

954
00:49:36,973 --> 00:49:38,208
I'll be there soon.

955
00:49:38,275 --> 00:49:43,413
Figured I'd stop, get a fresh cut
before I finish what I started last week.

956
00:49:49,119 --> 00:49:52,756
[Carmelo] We'll be right here
all night long.

957
00:49:52,823 --> 00:49:54,358
We're going to wait here.

958
00:49:54,424 --> 00:49:56,493
[chuckles]

959
00:49:57,260 --> 00:50:00,097
[Thea] Duke, come on. It's time to go.
It's go time.

960
00:50:00,163 --> 00:50:03,500
[Duke] Where are we going?
[Thea] To the ring. My match with Kiana.

961
00:50:03,567 --> 00:50:06,002
You gave me permission.
It's next, come on.

962
00:50:06,069 --> 00:50:07,738
[Duke] I did? [Thea] Yes.

963
00:50:08,372 --> 00:50:10,640
[Duke] Of course, I did. [Thea] Yes.

964
00:50:10,707 --> 00:50:13,043
[Duke] It is go time.
[Thea] Yes, it's go time.

965
00:50:13,110 --> 00:50:16,279
[Duke] You've got this.
[Thea] Yes, let's go.

966
00:50:16,346 --> 00:50:19,216
[Thea] Come on, Duke. Come on. Hurry up.

967
00:50:19,282 --> 00:50:20,217
Come on, Duke.

968
00:50:21,118 --> 00:50:24,621
[Noam] He should get fired,
and Nathan Frazer made the biggest mistake

969
00:50:24,688 --> 00:50:26,623
of his life when he came anywhere near.

970
00:50:26,690 --> 00:50:29,326
Ah, hello, hello, hello.

971
00:50:29,393 --> 00:50:31,828
Lash, it is so good to see you.

972
00:50:31,895 --> 00:50:34,097
[Noam] How are you?
[Lash] Well, hello, Noam.

973
00:50:34,164 --> 00:50:35,899
[Lash] Is that how it's going to be?

974
00:50:35,966 --> 00:50:37,267
[Noam] I'm sorry.

975
00:50:37,367 --> 00:50:38,635
Ms. Jackson?

976
00:50:38,702 --> 00:50:41,471
I'm for real, Lash and I, we go way back.

977
00:50:41,538 --> 00:50:43,206
[Lash] I wouldn't go that far.

978
00:50:43,807 --> 00:50:46,376
[Noam] Anyway, Lash, did you watch?

979
00:50:46,676 --> 00:50:48,211
How was I?

980
00:50:48,278 --> 00:50:51,248
[Lash] Did I watch?
All these talk shows on NXT.

981
00:50:51,314 --> 00:50:54,518
I mean, we've got Grayson Waller,
with the Grayson Waller Effect.

982
00:50:54,584 --> 00:50:56,720
[Ms. Jackson] Thank god that's
on smackdown.

983
00:50:56,787 --> 00:51:00,290
[Lash] Then, we've got Nathan Frazer
talking all this mess on his show.

984
00:51:00,357 --> 00:51:02,893
[Lash] Now, we have you.

985
00:51:02,959 --> 00:51:05,862
Running around here
with your supernova sessions.

986
00:51:05,929 --> 00:51:09,366
The only talk show we should be
talking about is the original.

987

988
00:51:12,669 --> 00:51:13,804
Okay?

989
00:51:14,905 --> 00:51:16,907

showcase her skills.

[Kiana James' music plays]

997
00:51:37,794 --> 00:51:44,067
[Vic] Duke Hudson forgot that he had
to get his head straight tonight.

998
00:51:44,134 --> 00:51:47,304
He made the match.
He gave her permission, but he forgot.

999
00:51:49,005 --> 00:51:53,877
[presenter] Her opponent, Kiana James.

1000
00:51:54,511 --> 00:51:58,381
[Vic] Well, these two had a little bit of
an altercation earlier tonight.

1001
00:51:58,448 --> 00:52:03,053
in the first quarter-final match over
the NXT women's championship tournament.

1002
00:52:03,120 --> 00:52:05,889
Kiana James kind of gloated
that she was in it.

1003
00:52:05,956 --> 00:52:08,158
That kind of got under the skin
of Thea Hail

1004
00:52:08,225 --> 00:52:11,661
who said she's going to prove she should
have been in the tournament.

1005
00:52:11,728 --> 00:52:14,498
Of course, our last quarter-final matchup
still to come.

1006

Jayne, Perez in our main event.

1007
00:52:16,500 --> 00:52:19,402
A chance to prove who
should have been in that spot.

1008
00:52:21,071 --> 00:52:25,742
[Booker] Kiana James is definitely
somebody that has sparked my attention.

1009
00:52:25,842 --> 00:52:27,410
She's a star, Vic.

1010
00:52:27,477 --> 00:52:31,615
Even though she got bumped out of the
tournament. I see something in this lady.

1011
00:52:31,681 --> 00:52:34,618
[Vic] For Thea Hail, a
lot going on in Chase U.

1012
00:52:34,684 --> 00:52:36,987
Of course, the Chase U
student section is here.

1013
00:52:37,053 --> 00:52:40,390
Duke Hudson has taken on so many,
wearing so many different hats,

1014
00:52:40,457 --> 00:52:42,158
grading papers here at ringside.

1015
00:52:42,225 --> 00:52:44,928
We have to let you know,
Andre Chase still recovering.

1016
00:52:44,995 --> 00:52:46,096
He'll be back.

1017
00:52:46,163 --> 00:52:49,065
The university, though in good hands
with Duke Hudson.

1018
00:52:49,132 --> 00:52:52,702
I'm so proud of Duke Hudson stepping up,
being a leader at Chase U.

1019
00:52:52,769 --> 00:52:56,773
[Booker] I think that university needs…
[Vic] Wait a minute. Shoulders down.

1020
00:52:56,840 --> 00:52:59,709
[Booker] So close to a victory there
on Thea Hail.

1021
00:52:59,776 --> 00:53:01,344
[Vic] As you were saying, Book?

1022
00:53:01,411 --> 00:53:04,314
[Booker] I was just saying Duke
Hudson stepped up big time.

1023
00:53:04,381 --> 00:53:05,582
[Vic] He certainly has.

1024
00:53:05,649 --> 00:53:08,418
Thea Hail is trying to step up here
tonight for Chase U.

1025
00:53:08,485 --> 00:53:11,555
[Booker] I must say, Thea Hail
is looking pretty good tonight

1026
00:53:11,621 --> 00:53:13,757
under the tutelage of a Duke Hudson.

1027
00:53:13,823 --> 00:53:17,360
[Vic] She is rocking.
She is rolling right now.

1028
00:53:17,527 --> 00:53:20,497
[crowd cheers]

1029
00:53:20,564 --> 00:53:23,533
[Vic] Duke Hudson on the
outside, in the corner.

1030
00:53:23,600 --> 00:53:24,768
Hail, oh.

1031
00:53:24,834 --> 00:53:26,469
[Booker] I don't like that.

1032
00:53:26,536 --> 00:53:28,705
[Vic] Maybe a little too much celebration.

1033
00:53:28,772 --> 00:53:31,875
[Booker] Must have dropped the
focus right there for a second.

1034
00:53:31,942 --> 00:53:34,044
[Vic] Well, James's looking to bounce back

1035
00:53:34,110 --> 00:53:35,745
after that early tournament exit.

1036
00:53:35,812 --> 00:53:39,049
Like she noted, oh,
thea hail with a big dive.

1037
00:53:39,115 --> 00:53:43,286
That finally got the attention,
I do believe, of Duke Hudson.

1038
00:53:43,353 --> 00:53:46,223
[Booker] Thea Hail is a
little different tonight.

1039
00:53:46,289 --> 00:53:49,659
I mean, she's always had
that Tim Bayne feeling.

1040
00:53:50,026 --> 00:53:54,064
I mean, look at Hudson,
he's able to cheer, he's able to look on.

1041
00:53:54,130 --> 00:53:55,565
He's able to grade papers.

1042
00:53:55,632 --> 00:54:00,203
No one there for Hail,
as James back in control.

1043
00:54:00,270 --> 00:54:03,707
James noted that she's on the top tier
of the women's division. Why?

1044
00:54:03,773 --> 00:54:07,310
Because she was picked by Shawn Michaels,
she was picked by the coaches

1045
00:54:07,377 --> 00:54:10,313
to be a part of the NXT women's
championship tournament.

1046
00:54:10,380 --> 00:54:12,682
She's driving the air out of Hail.

1047
00:54:12,749 --> 00:54:15,619
Duke Hudson not even paying attention,
and a kick out.

1048
00:54:15,685 --> 00:54:19,356
[Booker] Kiana James is a boss.
She has a chance now to focus.

1049
00:54:19,422 --> 00:54:22,125
Not being in a tag team,
not having to worry about

1050
00:54:22,192 --> 00:54:24,194
a man her life or anything like that.

1051
00:54:24,261 --> 00:54:26,730
She can just focused
on moving up that ladder.

1052
00:54:26,796 --> 00:54:29,699
[Vic] I like that you're talking
about focus because Hudson

1053
00:54:29,766 --> 00:54:34,070
is still focusing on grading papers,
as Hail is being decimated by Kiana James

1054
00:54:34,137 --> 00:54:35,338
[crowd chants "Thea"]

1055
00:54:35,405 --> 00:54:38,541
It was James who questioned
the experience of Thea Hail.

1056
00:54:38,608 --> 00:54:42,445
Thea Hail a young superstar, a rising
superstar in the women's division.

1057
00:54:42,512 --> 00:54:45,982
[Booker] When was the last time
you've seen Andre Chase grade papers?

1058
00:54:47,017 --> 00:54:49,452
Into the cover, hook of
the leg, and a near fall.

1059
00:54:49,519 --> 00:54:52,422
When was the last time you've seen him
do some real work

1060
00:54:52,489 --> 00:54:53,790
like Duke Hudson is doing?

1061
00:54:53,857 --> 00:54:57,827
Duke Hudson has turned
this university around, in my estimations.

1062
00:54:57,894 --> 00:55:00,930
[Vic] Well, the Chase U student section
at least on their feet

1063
00:55:00,997 --> 00:55:03,366
trying to rally Thea Hail here
in this moment.

1064
00:55:03,800 --> 00:55:07,637
[crowd cheers]

1065
00:55:07,704 --> 00:55:09,306
[Vic] NXT universe as well.

1066
00:55:09,372 --> 00:55:11,641
Hail, now, trying to maybe
regroup herself.

1067
00:55:11,708 --> 00:55:13,276
This is a big moment for Hail.

1068
00:55:13,343 --> 00:55:15,845
Because she is taking on someone

1069
00:55:15,912 --> 00:55:18,214
who's in that top tier
of the women's division.

1070
00:55:18,281 --> 00:55:20,817
[Booker] She's taking on
someone in the top tier.

1071
00:55:20,884 --> 00:55:23,720
A win would end up do great things
for Thea Hail.

1072
00:55:23,787 --> 00:55:27,524
I always talk about how she's cheerleading
that live, wild mentality.

1073
00:55:27,590 --> 00:55:30,760
That she's had five or six red bulls
before she comes out here.

1074
00:55:30,827 --> 00:55:35,699
Tonight, she seems to be more focused,
under the tutelage of Hudson.

1075
00:55:35,765 --> 00:55:39,703
[Vic] Kiana James being focused right now
with everything she has been through.

1076
00:55:39,769 --> 00:55:43,973
To the likes of Brooks Jensen, the
backstabbing to Fallon Henley.

1077
00:55:44,040 --> 00:55:45,709
[Booker] Come on, man. Come on.

1078
00:55:45,775 --> 00:55:47,644
Why don't you just mind your business?

1079
00:55:47,711 --> 00:55:49,379
That has nothing to do with you.

1080
00:55:49,446 --> 00:55:52,348
Concern yourself with business
that concern you, Vic.

1081
00:55:52,415 --> 00:55:53,983
Think about your woman.

1082
00:55:54,050 --> 00:55:57,420
[Vic] Well, Duke Hudson, is still focusing
on the papers.

1083
00:55:57,487 --> 00:56:01,224
Hail focusing on Kiana James.
Here comes Hail.

1084
00:56:01,291 --> 00:56:05,395
Can you imagine what's going to happen
in the quad, the parties at Chase U?

1085
00:56:05,462 --> 00:56:08,732
You probably wouldn't be invited,
Book, because you're too much.

1086
00:56:08,798 --> 00:56:12,302
Nonetheless, Thea Hail now fighting back,
standing on her own two feet.

1087
00:56:12,502 --> 00:56:15,772
She's in this match due to Duke Hudson,
to your point.

1088
00:56:15,839 --> 00:56:18,541
[Vic] Big suplex out of the corner.
[Booker] Big shot.

1089
00:56:18,641 --> 00:56:23,680
I know these universities like to have
those bonfires, those pep rallies.

1090
00:56:23,747 --> 00:56:26,383
Let's see if they can have one
tonight with Thea Hail.

1091
00:56:27,183 --> 00:56:28,852
[Vic] Nasty landing.

1092
00:56:28,918 --> 00:56:33,189
Thea Hail in full control of this matchup.

1093
00:56:33,256 --> 00:56:35,492
Hail, big right hand.

1094
00:56:35,558 --> 00:56:37,460
Book, what's wrong with reading books?

1095
00:56:37,527 --> 00:56:39,496
You can learn a lot from reading books.

1096
00:56:39,562 --> 00:56:41,731
Thea hail keeps her nose in the books.

1097
00:56:41,798 --> 00:56:44,300
Big, high crossbody off the top.

1098
00:56:44,367 --> 00:56:49,406
Cover, count, James just
getting that shoulder up.

1099
00:56:49,472 --> 00:56:51,641
[Booker] I'm all about
on-the-job training.

1100
00:56:51,708 --> 00:56:54,477
That's what Thea Hail is
in the mix of right now trying

1101
00:56:54,544 --> 00:56:56,679
to get victory over Kiana James.

1102
00:56:56,746 --> 00:56:57,914
She's so close, Vic.

1103
00:56:58,615 --> 00:57:02,318
[Vic] Looking for that suplex.
James now, trying to counter.

1104
00:57:02,385 --> 00:57:04,187
Oh, gourdbuster.

1105
00:57:04,254 --> 00:57:06,289
James. Look at Thea Hail.

1106
00:57:06,489 --> 00:57:10,293
Right back to her feet and
gets sent right back down to the mat.

1107
00:57:10,360 --> 00:57:13,863
Kiana James now focusing in on a 401k.

1108
00:57:13,930 --> 00:57:17,567
James got all of it. James victorious.

1109
00:57:17,634 --> 00:57:19,702
[bell rings] [Kiana James' music plays]

1110
00:57:19,769 --> 00:57:20,837
[Booker] I told you.

1111
00:57:20,904 --> 00:57:22,338
[crowd boos]

1112
00:57:22,405 --> 00:57:24,641
[presenter] Here is your winner,
Kiana James.

1113
00:57:24,707 --> 00:57:27,243
[Vic] I don't think Hudson
knows the match is over.

1114
00:57:27,310 --> 00:57:29,345
What grade do you think he gave Thea Hail?

1115
00:57:29,412 --> 00:57:31,981
I really don't want you
to answer that question.

1116
00:57:34,684 --> 00:57:36,019
[Booker] An F.

1117
00:57:36,085 --> 00:57:39,222
[crowd boos]

1118
00:57:40,423 --> 00:57:43,626
[Tank] I think you're looking good, man.
It could be [indistinct]

1119
00:57:43,726 --> 00:57:46,830
[Hank] I don't know, Tank.
I think the dentist did a good job.

1120
00:57:46,896 --> 00:57:48,498
[Tank] I think so too, but Hank.

1121
00:57:48,565 --> 00:57:51,534
I don't think we're going
to be winning any beauty pageants.

1122
00:57:51,601 --> 00:57:54,003
If this tag team don't work,
it ain't going to be

1123
00:57:54,070 --> 00:57:55,672
because of your looks, bro.

1124
00:57:55,738 --> 00:57:57,340
[Brooks] Boys! [Tank] Fellas!

1125
00:57:57,407 --> 00:57:59,175
[Brooks] Very impressive last week.

1126
00:57:59,242 --> 00:58:01,911
[Josh] We like how y'all ain't
afraid to throw hands.

1127
00:58:01,978 --> 00:58:03,813
Tank, how are them teeth going, buddy?

1128
00:58:03,880 --> 00:58:07,450
[Tank] Check it out. Got a new tooth
and a little souvenir for my match.

1129
00:58:07,517 --> 00:58:09,052
[Josh] Man, you are a tough kid.

1130
00:58:09,118 --> 00:58:11,788
Last time I hit someone that hard,
it was Brooks here.

1131
00:58:11,988 --> 00:58:14,123
[Brooks] I felt them,
and I brought it back.

1132
00:58:14,190 --> 00:58:16,659
[Josh] Oh, sure.
We're better off for it now.

1133
00:58:16,726 --> 00:58:17,660
[Tank] Really?

1134
00:58:17,727 --> 00:58:19,229
[Josh] Yes. Beating each other

1135
00:58:19,295 --> 00:58:21,197
was the best thing that happened to us.

1136
00:58:21,264 --> 00:58:22,999
[Brooks] I agree. [Hank] So strange.

1137
00:58:23,066 --> 00:58:25,969
[Josh] Once y'all are done here,
drinks are on us.

1138
00:58:26,035 --> 00:58:28,838
[Tank] Now, we're talking.
I like drinks. See you.

1139
00:58:31,508 --> 00:58:33,309
[Tank] We should do that.

1140
00:58:33,376 --> 00:58:35,044
[Hank] What are you talking about?

1141
00:58:35,111 --> 00:58:38,348
[Tank] I'm saying if we want
to be a great tag team, which we do.

1142
00:58:38,414 --> 00:58:41,918
We got to be close,
like Briggs and Jensen close.

1143
00:58:41,985 --> 00:58:45,955
Like peanut butter and jelly,
like mashed potatoes and gravy.

1144
00:58:46,756 --> 00:58:48,324
[Hank] Okay.

1145
00:58:48,391 --> 00:58:52,128
[Tank] I'm saying, next week, we get
in the ring with each other.

1146
00:58:52,729 --> 00:58:56,633
[Hank] Like me and you?
[Tank] Yes. Straight-up hoss fight.

1147
00:58:56,699 --> 00:58:58,868
Push each other to the limits.

1148
00:58:58,935 --> 00:59:00,803
We'll call it a bonding experience.

1149
00:59:00,870 --> 00:59:03,106
[Hank] By beating the hell
out of each other?

1150
00:59:03,172 --> 00:59:05,108
[Tank] Yes.

1151
00:59:05,675 --> 00:59:07,610
[Hank] All right, man. [Tank] All right.

1152
00:59:07,677 --> 00:59:09,979
[Hank] Next week, me and you,
we'll do it, bro.

1153
00:59:10,046 --> 00:59:12,849
[Tank] See you in the ring, partner.
Hank versus Tank.

1154
00:59:12,916 --> 00:59:14,117
[Hank] All right, man.

1155
00:59:14,384 --> 00:59:15,885
[Booker] Oh, Vic.

1156
00:59:15,952 --> 00:59:18,321
You know what they say,
iron sharpens iron.

1157
00:59:18,388 --> 00:59:22,558
This may make them a better, stronger,
faster tag team, in my opinion.

1158
00:59:22,625 --> 00:59:26,162
[Vic] It's beneficial.
We'll see that hoss fight next week.

1159
00:59:26,229 --> 00:59:29,832
I want to talk about another tag team
we were supposed to see tonight.

1160
00:59:29,899 --> 00:59:31,868
It was Wes Lee and Tyler Bate.

1161
00:59:31,935 --> 00:59:35,705
Let's go back to what happened earlier
tonight. Preparing for their matchup.

1162
00:59:36,039 --> 00:59:38,074
[struggling sounds]

1163
00:59:38,141 --> 00:59:41,844
They were viciously attacked
by The Dyad and Schism

1164
00:59:41,911 --> 00:59:44,480
to the point where they could not compete.

1165
00:59:44,547 --> 00:59:47,750
Our own Mackenzie Mitchell right now
is actually standing by

1166
00:59:47,817 --> 00:59:51,454
with the North American champion, Wes Lee.

1167
00:59:54,357 --> 00:59:57,327
[Mackenzie] I'm currently in the trainer's
room with Wes Lee

1168
00:59:57,393 --> 00:59:59,996
and his tag team partner for the evening,
Tyler Bate,

1169
01:00:00,063 --> 01:00:02,165
who is being looked at
by our medical team.

1170
01:00:02,231 --> 01:00:05,702
Wes, do you have any idea
why schism would attack you and Tyler?

1171
01:00:05,768 --> 01:00:07,904
[Wes] Mackenzie, I love our time together.

1172
01:00:07,971 --> 01:00:13,142
But after tonight, I'm going to say what
I need to say to the NXT universe.

1173
01:00:13,876 --> 01:00:16,145
-[Wes] You good?
-[Tyler] Yes.

1174
01:00:16,212 --> 01:00:19,282
[Wes] Take care of him. Stay tuned.

1175
01:00:25,254 --> 01:00:29,125
I came to NXT with one mission.

1176
01:00:29,192 --> 01:00:33,029
Knuckle an emphatic end to it.

1177
01:00:33,363 --> 01:00:38,201
Then I watched our entire NXT
locker room hold their breath.

1178
01:00:38,401 --> 01:00:42,872
Hoping that I'll go to raw or smackdown,

1179
01:00:42,939 --> 01:00:49,278
but only their deepest darkest fears

1180
01:00:49,345 --> 01:00:52,882
still exist because I'm
not going anywhere.

1181
01:00:52,949 --> 01:00:57,654
I still got so much more to accomplish,
more superstars to destroy,

1182
01:00:57,720 --> 01:01:00,757
more havoc to create.

1183
01:01:00,823 --> 01:01:05,128
And championship gold to capture.

1184
01:01:05,194 --> 01:01:11,601
I'm on the hunt,
and every NXT superstar is my prey.

1185
01:01:14,837 --> 01:01:18,875
[Edris] Hey, I don't know about you,
but dude looks kind of pissed.

1186
01:01:18,941 --> 01:01:21,711
Hey, Malik, good thing
we're a tag team, though.

1187
01:01:21,878 --> 01:01:24,914
[Malik] Brother, what?
Edris, what are you talking about, man?

1188
01:01:24,981 --> 01:01:27,650
[Edris] Don't leave me hanging.
You have all seen it.

1189
01:01:27,750 --> 01:01:30,019
His hands are like cement bricks.
Am I wrong?

1190
01:01:30,186 --> 01:01:32,055
He's got the strength of 10 men.

1191
01:01:32,121 --> 01:01:35,458
[Malik] You see, I agree with that.
He just said he better than me.

1192
01:01:35,525 --> 01:01:37,293
Dabbo's a mountain.

1193
01:01:37,360 --> 01:01:40,763
Unquestionably the biggest mountain
in all of NXT, but you know what?

1194
01:01:40,830 --> 01:01:43,066
I enjoy the challenge
of climbing mountains

1195
01:01:43,132 --> 01:01:46,002
because the view from the top
is breathtaking.

1196
01:01:46,202 --> 01:01:49,839
Yes, unless he stops
you from breathing first.

1197
01:01:50,807 --> 01:01:51,974
I'm done.

1198
01:01:52,175 --> 01:01:54,277
You're saying too much.

1199
01:01:56,579 --> 01:02:00,917
[Vic] You should never count out axiom,
but you should also never

1200
01:02:00,983 --> 01:02:02,118
count out this man.

1201
01:02:02,185 --> 01:02:06,355
[Wes Lee's music plays]

1202
01:02:07,423 --> 01:02:14,397
[presenter] Please welcome the NXT
North American champion, Wes Lee.

1203
01:02:14,864 --> 01:02:19,368
[Vic] Again, there is a different
look in the eyes of Wes Lee.

1204
01:02:19,435 --> 01:02:22,872
[Booker] It's called a power walk, Vic.
Walking with purpose.

1205
01:02:22,939 --> 01:02:25,108
[Vic] You ain't kidding.

1206
01:02:31,347 --> 01:02:34,283
[Wes] Look, I wanted to come out here
to address everyone.

1207
01:02:34,350 --> 01:02:37,887
I was promoted to be in a match
with my friend Tyler Bates tonight.

1208
01:02:37,954 --> 01:02:41,824
But because of an attack by Schism,
that match is not going to be happening.

1209
01:02:42,892 --> 01:02:48,531
Look, I have gotten so much better
at controlling my anger.

1210
01:02:48,598 --> 01:02:52,001
But when you attack me and my man's
for no reason,

1211
01:02:52,068 --> 01:02:53,536
you're going to piss me off.

1212
01:02:54,704 --> 01:02:59,609
Gacy, you and your leech squad
preach friendship and unity.

1213
01:03:00,276 --> 01:03:03,179
But they aren't friends. They're sheep.

1214
01:03:04,480 --> 01:03:10,753
Tyler Bate is a friend, and you did not
need to target me or my friend

1215
01:03:10,820 --> 01:03:14,724
in order to get an opportunity for this
NXT North American championship.

1216
01:03:14,824 --> 01:03:18,761
If you wanted it,
all you had to do was ask.

1217
01:03:19,629 --> 01:03:21,798
[Gacy] Mr. Lee.

1218
01:03:21,864 --> 01:03:28,104
Mr. Lee, what a speech,
but unlike your friend Tyler Bate,

1219
01:03:28,171 --> 01:03:33,409
who you speak so highly of,
I have never been dishonest

1220
01:03:33,476 --> 01:03:38,714
with what I want, I've said it
and I'll openly say it now.

1221
01:03:38,781 --> 01:03:43,586
I want that North American championship.

1222
01:03:44,353 --> 01:03:49,992
Wes, with every groundbreaking win,
you inch closer and closer

1223
01:03:50,059 --> 01:03:55,231
to becoming the greatest North American
champion in NXT history.

1224
01:03:55,598 --> 01:04:00,369
But what does that make Joe Gacy
when he takes that title from you

1225
01:04:00,436 --> 01:04:02,805
at battleground?

1226
01:04:03,105 --> 01:04:09,712
[Gacy] You said all I had to do
was ask, and I'm asking, Wes.

1227
01:04:10,313 --> 01:04:16,285
Now all you have to do is break
the bad news to the big strong liar.

1228
01:04:16,352 --> 01:04:20,189
That I will be the
one getting a title match.

1229
01:04:20,456 --> 01:04:24,126
[Wes] Joe, why do you continue
to try to use these Schism powers

1230
01:04:24,193 --> 01:04:26,863
to try to drive some
wedge between Tyler and I?

1231
01:04:26,929 --> 01:04:29,966
When are you going to understand
it ain't going to work?

1232
01:04:30,032 --> 01:04:32,568
The wedge has already been created.

1233
01:04:32,635 --> 01:04:35,271
Tyler is deceiving you.

1234
01:04:36,172 --> 01:04:38,474
[Wes] What are you…

1235
01:04:38,541 --> 01:04:41,811
[Tyler Bate's music plays]

1236
01:04:47,650 --> 01:04:52,989
[Tyler] I have had it with all of this
high school name-calling rubbish.

1237
01:04:54,890 --> 01:04:58,628
Joe, I don't know what
your problem with me is.

1238
01:04:59,328 --> 01:05:04,901
Actually, maybe you're still bitter
from that loss at Stand & Deliver.

1239
01:05:06,836 --> 01:05:12,308
Either way, you have a receipt coming for
you, and if it comes at battleground,

1240
01:05:12,375 --> 01:05:14,076
then so be it.

1241
01:05:14,877 --> 01:05:18,147
[Wes] Looks like you've got to have a busy
night there, Mr. Gacy.

1242
01:05:18,314 --> 01:05:20,283
You're about to go twice in one night.

1243
01:05:20,349 --> 01:05:23,286
[Tyler] Hang on, Wes, hang on.

1244
01:05:28,324 --> 01:05:29,859
We're friends.

1245
01:05:32,628 --> 01:05:36,165
But I'd be lying to you and I'd be lying
to myself if I said

1246
01:05:36,232 --> 01:05:39,835
I didn't want a match for that
north American championship as well.

1247
01:05:41,671 --> 01:05:44,807
[Gacy] The truth will
finally set you free.

1248
01:05:44,874 --> 01:05:47,376
[Wes] Shut up, Gacy.

1249
01:05:49,345 --> 01:05:53,649
[Wes] Tyler, why didn't you say
something about this before?

1250
01:05:53,716 --> 01:05:56,185
You know I would have given you a shot.

1251
01:05:56,252 --> 01:05:58,521
[Tyler] You're right. My bad.

1252
01:05:58,587 --> 01:06:02,358
I should have said something,
but we can still do this

1253
01:06:02,425 --> 01:06:05,428
strictly in the spirit of competition.

1254
01:06:06,228 --> 01:06:09,398
I would never let this title
get in the way of our friendship.

1255
01:06:10,132 --> 01:06:12,401
If you say so, Tyler.

1256
01:06:15,004 --> 01:06:17,907
[Gacy] Who's it going to
be a battleground, Wes?

1257
01:06:18,207 --> 01:06:22,645
The sworn enemy who
would approach you face to face

1258
01:06:22,712 --> 01:06:29,185
or the so-called trusted friend
who would stab you in the back?

1259
01:06:35,725 --> 01:06:37,626
[Wes] I'll take you both on.

1260
01:06:37,693 --> 01:06:39,228
How about a triple threat?

1261
01:06:39,295 --> 01:06:42,164
I'll see y'all at battleground.

1262
01:06:50,006 --> 01:06:52,508
[Wes] I thought I could trust you.

1263
01:06:52,975 --> 01:06:55,344
[Vic] What's going through
the mind of Wes Lee?

1264
01:06:56,178 --> 01:07:02,818
Two challengers, one match for one title.
Will it happen at battleground?

1265
01:07:08,124 --> 01:07:13,596
Exactly one year ago, my journey towards
the NXT women's championship started.

1266
01:07:13,662 --> 01:07:16,999
When I entered the woman's
breakout tournament.

1267
01:07:17,066 --> 01:07:24,040
I won that contract and then went on
to become the NXT women's champion.

1268
01:07:25,941 --> 01:07:29,545
Where did the time go?

1269
01:07:29,612 --> 01:07:32,882
Everything happened so fast.

1270
01:07:33,649 --> 01:07:39,522
Last year, this board was blank
and now every single one of these pictures

1271
01:07:39,588 --> 01:07:44,193
captures a moment in time
from the last 365 days.

1272
01:07:45,027 --> 01:07:52,001
Championships, overcoming Meiko,
my rumble appearance.

1273
01:07:54,370 --> 01:07:56,739
What will my next year look like?

1274
01:07:56,806 --> 01:07:59,809
What will my next board look like?

1275
01:08:03,612 --> 01:08:09,485
The unknown, nerve-wracking,
but also so exciting.

1276
01:08:10,786 --> 01:08:12,988
I know where I've been.

1277
01:08:13,422 --> 01:08:16,091
I know where I want to go.

1278
01:08:16,158 --> 01:08:19,929
Now, it's just about how I get there.

1279
01:08:28,103 --> 01:08:30,773
[Roxanne] Hey, Von.
I was watching raw last night

1280
01:08:30,840 --> 01:08:33,409
and I wanted to tell you,
great job in battle royal.

1281
01:08:33,476 --> 01:08:35,277
[Von] Yes, I appreciate that.

1282
01:08:35,344 --> 01:08:37,813
[Roxanne] I'm sorry
for what Lucas said last week.

1283
01:08:37,880 --> 01:08:40,950
That wasn't funny. He's a horrible person.

1284
01:08:41,016 --> 01:08:44,153
[Von] To be honest, he was probably
trying to impress you.

1285
01:08:44,220 --> 01:08:46,889
Some people, they really
like to run their mouths.

1286
01:08:46,956 --> 01:08:49,525
[Don] Listen, you saw with your eyes.
It's assault.

1287
01:08:49,959 --> 01:08:53,262
[Von] You keep wanting to
play these games?

1288
01:08:53,596 --> 01:08:56,499
You understand me?
You want to get in the ring?

1289
01:08:56,565 --> 01:09:00,035
We can settle this anytime you want.

1290
01:09:03,205 --> 01:09:06,142
[Stone] Thanks, Von.

1291
01:09:06,208 --> 01:09:08,144
Were you just sticking up for me?

1292
01:09:08,210 --> 01:09:10,179
[Von] Stone? What? No.

1293
01:09:10,246 --> 01:09:13,015
[Stone] Yes, you were.
[Von] What are you talking about?

1294
01:09:13,082 --> 01:09:15,017
[Stone] Von, you just stuck up for me.

1295
01:09:15,084 --> 01:09:16,986
[Von] Okay, maybe I did. You know why?

1296
01:09:17,052 --> 01:09:20,589
Because you're the only one
that has believed in me this whole time.

1297
01:09:20,689 --> 01:09:22,458
[Stone] You're right.

1298
01:09:22,525 --> 01:09:24,093
You want to know why?

1299
01:09:24,160 --> 01:09:27,630
It's because I know there's
a superstar inside you, Von.

1300
01:09:27,997 --> 01:09:34,303
Let me ask you this, are you ready
to talk about this picture, Von?

1301
01:09:39,909 --> 01:09:41,310
[Von] Nice try.

1302
01:09:42,978 --> 01:09:44,680
[Jacy Jayne's music plays]

1303
01:09:44,780 --> 01:09:46,749
[Vic] Got to give credit to Mr. Stone.

1304
01:09:46,916 --> 01:09:51,287
Von Wagner still not ready to open up.

1305
01:09:51,820 --> 01:09:53,322
[bell rings]

1306
01:09:53,389 --> 01:09:55,824
[presenter] The following is a
quarterfinals match

1307
01:09:55,891 --> 01:09:58,394
in the women's championship tournament.

1308
01:09:58,460 --> 01:10:02,498
Introducing first, Jacy Jayne.

1309
01:10:02,565 --> 01:10:07,803
[Vic] Jacy Jayne has become quite
the menace and who would only become worse

1310
01:10:07,870 --> 01:10:11,674
if she were to crown herself the NXT
women's champion.

1311
01:10:11,740 --> 01:10:15,644
[Booker] Look at Jacy Jayne,
she's like the rock and roll

1312
01:10:15,711 --> 01:10:17,980
hall of famer Pat Benatar.

1313
01:10:18,047 --> 01:10:20,816
She's a rock star, man.

1314
01:10:20,883 --> 01:10:25,888
Get your tickets, because it's about to be
a sell out in this concert, baby.

1315
01:10:27,957 --> 01:10:30,826
[Vic] You don't even know what you said
just a second ago.

1316
01:10:30,960 --> 01:10:32,995
But this is the quarter-final matchup

1317
01:10:33,062 --> 01:10:35,497
of the NXT women's
championship tournament.

1318
01:10:35,564 --> 01:10:39,568
Here's a superstar who has
worn that title proudly.

1319
01:10:39,635 --> 01:10:42,137
[Roxanne Perez's music plays]

1320
01:10:42,571 --> 01:10:46,742
[presenter] Her opponent, Roxanne Perez.

1321
01:10:47,242 --> 01:10:50,713
[Vic] Roxanne Perez always says,
hit me with your best shot.

1322
01:10:50,779 --> 01:10:54,083
And she's called hers because
she believes she will make the finals

1323
01:10:54,149 --> 01:10:58,120
of this tournament which
takes place at NXT battleground

1324
01:10:58,187 --> 01:11:00,522
a week from this Sunday.

1325
01:11:12,167 --> 01:11:15,838
This, of course, our final quarterfinal
match, but as I just mentioned.

1326
01:11:15,904 --> 01:11:19,141
Perez is the only superstar to have
worn the NXT women's title.

1327
01:11:19,208 --> 01:11:21,744
Does that give her the
edge to go the distance?

1328
01:11:21,810 --> 01:11:25,781
[Booker] Talk about the growth
of Roxanne Perez over these last 365 days.

1329
01:11:25,848 --> 01:11:29,551
I wouldn't say the edge, but it definitely
gives her a certain confidence

1330
01:11:29,618 --> 01:11:31,186
as far as going out there.

1331
01:11:31,253 --> 01:11:34,023
Her training, her preparation
has all been in tact, Vic.

1332
01:11:34,089 --> 01:11:36,191
She's ready, been waiting for this moment.

1333
01:11:36,258 --> 01:11:38,560
[Vic] Take a look at
the tournament at a whole.

1334
01:11:38,627 --> 01:11:42,031
The winner will have to go through
three matches to wear the title.

1335
01:11:42,097 --> 01:11:45,067
Shoulders are down, though,
and a quick kick out by Jayne.

1336
01:11:46,402 --> 01:11:51,640
Roxanne Perez talking a little trash.

1337
01:11:51,707 --> 01:11:55,778
Not the same superstar who arrived
here in NXT just over a year ago.

1338
01:11:55,844 --> 01:11:58,013
Certainly has been quite the year.

1339
01:11:58,080 --> 01:12:00,849
Everything she has set her sights on,
she has achieved.

1340
01:12:00,916 --> 01:12:04,186
The NXT breakout winner, the iron survivor
challenge winner.

1341
01:12:04,253 --> 01:12:08,057
she defeated the final boss, royal rumble
appearance, and as we've mentioned,

1342
01:12:08,123 --> 01:12:09,525
the NXT women's title.

1343
01:12:09,591 --> 01:12:12,127
[Booker] That's the tip
of the iceberg for Perez.

1344
01:12:12,194 --> 01:12:14,830
She wants bigger, she wants better,
she wants it all.

1345
01:12:14,897 --> 01:12:17,032
She wants to take this business by storm.

1346
01:12:17,099 --> 01:12:18,701
She's a prodigy.

1347
01:12:18,767 --> 01:12:20,402
[Vic] Able to roll through.

1348
01:12:20,469 --> 01:12:23,639
Nice bridge, shoulders down,
and a second away from making it

1349
01:12:23,706 --> 01:12:25,574
to the semi-finals, is Roxanne Perez.

1350
01:12:25,641 --> 01:12:27,776
We heard from Jacy Jayne earlier tonight.

1351
01:12:27,843 --> 01:12:31,113
Jayne rolled up. Shoulders down one
more time, another near fall.

1352
01:12:31,180 --> 01:12:34,483
She talked about the longstanding rivalry
with Roxanne Perez.

1353
01:12:34,550 --> 01:12:38,120
Let's go back to Perez who really
holds the advantage between these two.

1354
01:12:38,187 --> 01:12:40,422
A year ago in her debut,
she beat Jacy Jayne.

1355
01:12:40,489 --> 01:12:42,191
She could have Jayne's number.

1356
01:12:42,257 --> 01:12:46,161
[Booker] Yes, and don't think that's not
in the back of Jacy Jayne's mind.

1357
01:12:46,228 --> 01:12:48,430
She wants to win this match
in prime fashion.

1358
01:12:48,497 --> 01:12:50,966
[Vic] Nice counter.
Shoulders down one more time.

1359
01:12:51,033 --> 01:12:52,534
And another near fall.

1360
01:12:52,601 --> 01:12:55,104
As Jayne just able to kick
out and a nice arm drag.

1361
01:12:55,170 --> 01:12:57,973
[Booker] Yes, caught off balance
right there, Jacy Jayne.

1362
01:12:58,040 --> 01:13:00,642
[Vic] Oh, another quick cover and
another kick out.

1363
01:13:00,709 --> 01:13:03,712
[Booker] Roxanne's going to take
every advantage she can.

1364
01:13:03,779 --> 01:13:06,215
If you open that door,
she's going to walk in

1365
01:13:06,281 --> 01:13:08,417
and steal it.

1366
01:13:08,484 --> 01:13:12,354
[Vic] The winner of this match will face
Tiffany Stratton in the semi-finals.

1367
01:13:12,421 --> 01:13:16,024
The bow in the hair
of Roxanne Perez, says she wears it

1368
01:13:16,091 --> 01:13:19,027
because she wants to inspire girls
that you can achieve

1369
01:13:19,094 --> 01:13:20,763
your dreams.

1370
01:13:20,829 --> 01:13:26,068
As another attempted takedown,
but Perez gets dropped by Jayne.

1371
01:13:26,135 --> 01:13:29,638
[Booker] Speaking about Roxanne Perez,
she definitely is one that many,

1372
01:13:29,705 --> 01:13:32,908
young girls out there are aspiring
to be Roxanne Perez one day.

1373
01:13:32,975 --> 01:13:35,377
She's a role model
and I respect her for that.

1374
01:13:35,444 --> 01:13:37,579
[Vic] Jayne is able to counter.

1375
01:13:37,646 --> 01:13:39,681
Almost a nasty landing for Perez.

1376
01:13:39,748 --> 01:13:42,584
[Booker] A year ago, she would've taken
a big spill there.

1377
01:13:42,651 --> 01:13:46,088
[Vic] Oh, just took one.
Almost in our laps.

1378
01:13:46,255 --> 01:13:47,956
[crowd boos]

1379
01:13:48,023 --> 01:13:52,261
Who's going to advance in the semi-finals
of the women's championship tournament?

1380
01:13:54,530 --> 01:13:58,167
Final quarterfinal match with the NXT
women's championship tournament.

1381
01:13:58,801 --> 01:14:01,203
Jayne has been in control
throughout the break.

1382
01:14:01,270 --> 01:14:05,941
Into the cover to advance, and Perez
able to kick out at the last moment.

1383
01:14:06,308 --> 01:14:09,378
What a battle this has been,
what a tournament this has been.

1384
01:14:09,445 --> 01:14:14,650
All to be crowned the new NXT
women's champion after Indi Hartwell

1385
01:14:14,716 --> 01:14:17,486
was drafted to Monday night raw.

1386
01:14:18,987 --> 01:14:20,856
Jayne in control.

1387
01:14:20,923 --> 01:14:24,760
Said earlier tonight,
she is going to win the championship.

1388
01:14:24,827 --> 01:14:27,062
And crown herself the
NXT women's champion.

1389
01:14:27,129 --> 01:14:29,097
She truly is a wildcard.

1390
01:14:29,164 --> 01:14:32,167
As you said earlier,
she beats to her own drum.

1391
01:14:32,234 --> 01:14:34,336
[Booker] She knows all about fame, Vic.

1392
01:14:34,403 --> 01:14:39,641
Toxic attraction, the money,
the adulation is intoxicating.

1393
01:14:39,708 --> 01:14:43,312
You want more, man. Trust me.

1394
01:14:43,846 --> 01:14:48,917
[Vic] She better stop showboating.
She should be focused on winning

1395
01:14:48,984 --> 01:14:51,220
this matchup because she still
has to take out

1396
01:14:51,286 --> 01:14:55,224
a woman who has accomplished
everything you can here in NXT.

1397
01:14:55,290 --> 01:14:58,093
And she still wants more,
that being Roxanne Perez.

1398
01:14:59,695 --> 01:15:02,364
You don't want to get disqualified
in this situation.

1399
01:15:02,431 --> 01:15:07,035
[Booker] Jacy is about having a party
and having some fun.

1400
01:15:07,202 --> 01:15:09,238
[Vic] Nothing fun about a nasty landing.

1401
01:15:09,505 --> 01:15:12,608
That could open the door here for Perez.

1402
01:15:13,041 --> 01:15:16,578
Oh, nice kick connects
and now a little bit of separation.

1403
01:15:16,645 --> 01:15:20,315
Perez getting that third wind
in this matchup.

1404
01:15:20,382 --> 01:15:23,218
[Booker] Roxanne Perez's been
in this position before.

1405
01:15:23,285 --> 01:15:28,457
She knows all about
being in a situation, being in a spot

1406
01:15:28,523 --> 01:15:31,760
where you got to do what
you got to do and that's fight.

1407
01:15:32,094 --> 01:15:35,731
[Vic] Both these superstars, though,
we have to note are battle tested.

1408
01:15:35,797 --> 01:15:38,867
They both been in deep waters
in matchups before here in NXT.

1409
01:15:38,934 --> 01:15:44,573
What a final match for our quarterfinals
here in this tournament between these two.

1410
01:15:45,407 --> 01:15:48,710
[Booker] Oh, yes.

1411
01:15:50,445 --> 01:15:54,616
Like you said, Jacy Jayne's been there in
this the last 365 days.

1412
01:15:54,683 --> 01:15:59,254
Unbelievable for Roxanne Perez,
and right now she's trying to cash it in.

1413
01:16:01,690 --> 01:16:05,627
[Booker] Oh, yes. Here we go. Beautiful.

1414
01:16:05,694 --> 01:16:09,731
[Vic] Laying it on the line
to be the women's champion.

1415
01:16:11,800 --> 01:16:15,904
Jayne getting tossed back into the ring,
and Perez keeping that foot on the gas.

1416
01:16:15,971 --> 01:16:19,007
[Vic] Going all the way to the top.
[Booker] This could be it.

1417
01:16:19,074 --> 01:16:22,010
[Vic] High risk, will it have
high reward for Perez?

1418
01:16:23,011 --> 01:16:24,913
Big high crossbody.

1419
01:16:27,716 --> 01:16:29,151
Charges in with a knee.

1420
01:16:29,217 --> 01:16:31,853
[Booker] Beautiful front kick.
[Vic] Jayne is rocked.

1421
01:16:31,920 --> 01:16:34,323
Russian leg sweep connects.
Float over. Cover.

1422
01:16:34,389 --> 01:16:35,824
[Booker] Is it enough?

1423
01:16:35,891 --> 01:16:36,959
[Vic] No.

1424
01:16:37,025 --> 01:16:39,695
[Booker] It's not going
to be enough for Jacy Jayne.

1425
01:16:39,761 --> 01:16:42,764
[Vic] Jayne just able to kick out,
and right now for Perez

1426
01:16:42,831 --> 01:16:48,236
laying it on the line whatever she's got
to do to get the job done here tonight.

1427
01:16:48,437 --> 01:16:49,972
[crowd chants "Roxy"]

1428
01:16:50,138 --> 01:16:53,275
[Vic] The NXT universe behind the prodigy.

1429
01:16:55,177 --> 01:16:58,814
Jayne had it scouted, right back to the
midsection this time goes Jayne.

1430
01:16:58,880 --> 01:17:01,316
[Booker] Roxanne got caught right there.

1431
01:17:01,950 --> 01:17:04,553
[Vic] Perez going up.
[Booker] Oh, this could be it.

1432
01:17:04,620 --> 01:17:06,054
No. Beautiful counter.

1433
01:17:06,121 --> 01:17:08,056
Beautiful counter there by Jacy Jayne.

1434
01:17:08,123 --> 01:17:09,591
[Vic] Bam. [Booker] My god.

1435
01:17:09,658 --> 01:17:11,660
[Vic] That could be the knockout blow.

1436
01:17:11,727 --> 01:17:13,528
Jayne headed to the semi-final.

1437
01:17:13,595 --> 01:17:14,730
Oh, no, no, no.

1438
01:17:14,796 --> 01:17:16,198
Spoke a little too soon.

1439
01:17:16,465 --> 01:17:19,601
Jayne in shock. Perez still in this fight.

1440
01:17:19,668 --> 01:17:23,905
[Booker] I thought that discus punch
by Jacy Jayne, I thought that was it.

1441
01:17:26,241 --> 01:17:29,211
[Vic] Kind of wonder what's going through
the mind of Jayne,

1442
01:17:29,277 --> 01:17:34,483
because that was a vicious forearm,
and now Jayne just letting it out here.

1443
01:17:34,549 --> 01:17:36,084
Frustration building.

1444
01:17:36,151 --> 01:17:37,786
[Booker] Got to be careful, Vic.

1445
01:17:37,853 --> 01:17:40,756
You don't want to get
disqualified in a matchup like this.

1446
01:17:42,624 --> 01:17:44,693
[Vic] One more time Jayne. Look at Perez.

1447
01:17:44,760 --> 01:17:46,461
Perez trying to fight.

1448
01:17:47,529 --> 01:17:52,367
Holding on, and held on
maybe a little too long.

1449
01:17:52,934 --> 01:17:55,070
Is it Jayne's destiny? Gets countered.

1450
01:17:55,137 --> 01:17:57,139
Turn around, kick to the midsection.

1451
01:17:57,205 --> 01:18:00,742
Perez now looking for pop rocks.
This time it connects.

1452
01:18:00,809 --> 01:18:04,613
Perez got all of it, and Perez
headed to the semi-finals.

1453
01:18:04,679 --> 01:18:06,114
[Roxanne Perez's music plays]

1454
01:18:06,748 --> 01:18:11,119
[presenter] Here is your winner,
Roxanne Perez.

1455
01:18:11,186 --> 01:18:16,491
[Vic] One down, two more to go
for Perez to reclaim

1456
01:18:16,558 --> 01:18:19,361
the NXT women's championship.

1457
01:18:19,428 --> 01:18:22,597
Let's go back to some of the action
in this matchup.

1458
01:18:22,664 --> 01:18:24,966
This was a great combination by Jacy.

1459
01:18:25,067 --> 01:18:29,938
[Vic] Huge forearm, and in this moment, we
all, everyone in the NXT universe

1460
01:18:30,005 --> 01:18:32,741
thought it was over, but Perez able
to dig down deep

1461
01:18:32,808 --> 01:18:35,711
find that little extra
to get back to her feet.

1462
01:18:35,777 --> 01:18:39,347
Connect with a kick of her own,
and then put the finishing touches

1463
01:18:39,414 --> 01:18:43,085
on this quarterfinals with a
perfectly placed pop rocks

1464
01:18:43,151 --> 01:18:46,822
would punch her ticket to the semi-finals,
and we now know

1465
01:18:47,456 --> 01:18:49,991
the final four have been set.

1466
01:18:50,058 --> 01:18:54,029
There you see the updated
bracket with Roxanne Perez

1467
01:18:54,096 --> 01:18:57,699
making it into the semi-finals,
and we know that next week

1468
01:18:57,766 --> 01:19:02,304
it's going to be the showdown,
Stratton, Perez to advance

1469
01:19:02,370 --> 01:19:07,609
to the finals of the NXT women's
championship taking place at battleground.

1470
01:19:07,676 --> 01:19:11,746
What a week we're going to have
next week live here on USA.

1471
01:19:11,813 --> 01:19:13,849
[Booker] What the…?

1472
01:19:13,915 --> 01:19:15,517
[Vic] It's Gigi Dolin.

1473
01:19:19,387 --> 01:19:23,925
Perez said she hoped Dolin
would've won so she could meet

1474
01:19:23,992 --> 01:19:28,063
her in the semi-finals, but Dolin
is trying to get herself a piece.

1475
01:19:28,130 --> 01:19:30,999
[Booker] Let me get backed up here.

1476
01:19:31,066 --> 01:19:33,135
[Vic] Yes, you better watch out.

1477
01:19:33,668 --> 01:19:35,537
[yelling]

1478
01:19:37,205 --> 01:19:39,841
[Carmelo Hayes' music playing]

1479
01:19:40,075 --> 01:19:42,544
[Vic] Now what? [Booker] Yes.

1480
01:19:42,611 --> 01:19:45,247
[Vic] Chaos continuing on Tuesday.

1481
01:19:45,313 --> 01:19:47,315
It's the champion.

1482
01:19:48,150 --> 01:19:49,518
[Carmelo] All right, Bron.

1483
01:19:50,152 --> 01:19:53,488
Hey, I know traffic ain't that bad.

1484
01:19:53,555 --> 01:19:56,224
Get out here, Bron.

1485
01:19:56,491 --> 01:19:58,660
Come on, man.

1486
01:19:58,727 --> 01:20:02,164
We're going to stay here all night long
till they turn the lights off.

1487
01:20:02,230 --> 01:20:03,498
[Trick] All night.

1488
01:20:03,565 --> 01:20:06,468
[Carmelo] Let's go. Come on.

1489
01:20:07,469 --> 01:20:09,404
[Presenter] Will Breakker show up?

1490
01:20:09,504 --> 01:20:11,773
Melo's waiting for Bron.

1491
01:20:16,077 --> 01:20:20,048
[suspense music]

1492
01:20:38,166 --> 01:20:41,903
I told you I'd break any man.

1493
01:20:49,277 --> 01:20:52,581
I'm still standing.

1494
01:20:56,084 --> 01:20:58,620
[suspense music]

1495
01:21:02,357 --> 01:21:05,460
[Vic] A week from this Sunday
it is NXT battleground.

1496
01:21:05,527 --> 01:21:09,064
While the challenge was laid down
by friend and foe, it is now official.

1497
01:21:09,130 --> 01:21:12,534
The North American title will be defended
under triple threat rules.

1498
01:21:12,601 --> 01:21:15,937
Can Wes Lee continue his record
or will a new champion be crowned

1499
01:21:16,004 --> 01:21:18,340
at battleground?

1500
01:21:18,406 --> 01:21:21,176
Also in Lowell, Massachusetts,
for the first time

1501
01:21:21,243 --> 01:21:25,413
Noam Dar will defend the heritage cup
against the fastest-rising star in NXT.

1502
01:21:25,480 --> 01:21:26,781
Dragon Lee.

1503
01:21:26,848 --> 01:21:30,552
It's all going down a week from
this Sunday at NXT battleground.

1504
01:21:30,619 --> 01:21:34,689
For noam dar, he's going to be
in action next week

1505
01:21:34,756 --> 01:21:38,059
when he goes one-on-one
with Nathan Frazer.

1506
01:21:38,126 --> 01:21:43,832
Will Noam Dar be ready for some
hard-hitting truths live next week on NXT.

1507
01:21:43,898 --> 01:21:48,036
It's also the semifinals in the NXT
women's championship tournament.

1508
01:21:48,103 --> 01:21:51,339
Who will advance to the finals
taking place at battleground?

1509
01:21:51,406 --> 01:21:54,910
We find out next week live here on NXT.

1510
01:21:57,412 --> 01:22:00,949
[Vic] For Carmelo Hayes, he's been waiting
for Bron Breakker.

1511
01:22:04,219 --> 01:22:05,887
Where is he?

1512
01:22:06,421 --> 01:22:09,491
[crowd screams]

1513
01:22:10,392 --> 01:22:17,365
[Bron Breakker's music plays]

1514
01:22:29,210 --> 01:22:32,314
[Vic] The former champ has indeed arrived.

1515
01:22:32,747 --> 01:22:35,016
Look at this, Book. Not alone.

1516
01:22:35,116 --> 01:22:36,885
[Trick] What the hell is this?

1517
01:22:37,485 --> 01:22:42,958
[Carmelo] Big bad Bron needs
security guards.

1518
01:22:43,124 --> 01:22:49,064
That's funny. See, I didn't bring
these guys out here for me

1519
01:22:49,130 --> 01:22:54,369
because the last time I saw you, I
speared you through that wall over there.

1520
01:22:55,136 --> 01:22:59,674
I brought them out here
to protect you from me.

1521
01:22:59,741 --> 01:23:02,510
Because we all know
if they weren't out here,

1522
01:23:02,877 --> 01:23:05,447
there would be no Melo homecoming.

1523
01:23:05,513 --> 01:23:08,950
There would be no NXT
battleground main event.

1524
01:23:09,751 --> 01:23:13,254
[Trick] Bron the only one here
that needs protection is you.

1525
01:23:13,321 --> 01:23:15,557
[Bron] Oh, hey, Trick.

1526
01:23:15,623 --> 01:23:19,060
Excuse me, but the last time I checked,
last week you and I

1527
01:23:19,127 --> 01:23:23,765
strapped up the boots and let
the ring talk, dude, and I beat you.

1528
01:23:23,832 --> 01:23:26,534
[Carmelo] Hey, we're not doing that, man.

1529
01:23:26,601 --> 01:23:30,705
A big talk coming from a guy
with a wall of security in front of him.

1530
01:23:30,772 --> 01:23:32,240
Hey, you know what?

1531
01:23:32,307 --> 01:23:35,677
Some people are telling me
that you changed for the better

1532
01:23:36,077 --> 01:23:40,682
but in reality, Bron, don't
blame these people.

1533
01:23:40,882 --> 01:23:44,586
Don't blame me. Blame yourself.

1534
01:23:46,454 --> 01:23:51,226
Because you thought you were untouchable
until you got touched.

1535
01:23:53,395 --> 01:23:58,299
At NXT battleground, you are not taking

1536
01:23:58,366 --> 01:24:01,669
my NXT championship.

1537
01:24:05,974 --> 01:24:10,545
You and I, we fight
for two very different reasons.

1538
01:24:10,612 --> 01:24:15,450
You want to go to NXT battleground
and retain the NXT championship.

1539
01:24:15,583 --> 01:24:18,620
And that's fine, because the NXT
championship isn't really

1540
01:24:18,686 --> 01:24:20,388
what interests me so much anymore.

1541
01:24:20,455 --> 01:24:25,794
It's more about me destroying you
in your home city.

1542
01:24:25,860 --> 01:24:30,698
In front of all of your fans
and your family

1543
01:24:30,765 --> 01:24:35,336
so that they all leave the building that
night crying, going their hero,

1544
01:24:35,403 --> 01:24:40,308
Carmelo Hayes [chuckles]

1545
01:24:40,375 --> 01:24:43,044
couldn't get the job done.

1546
01:24:44,112 --> 01:24:47,282
You know what, you say that
with so much conviction.

1547
01:24:47,348 --> 01:24:50,785
You say it with so much belief,
and it's that same belief

1548
01:24:50,852 --> 01:24:54,756
that got you a year-long title reign
with this championship right here.

1549
01:24:54,823 --> 01:24:58,426
There's a reason why you and I
are in this main event.

1550
01:24:58,493 --> 01:25:02,764
Because everybody else,
they ain't cut like us.

1551
01:25:02,831 --> 01:25:05,600
They ain't.

1552
01:25:05,667 --> 01:25:09,037
Here you are thinking you're going
to ruin my homecoming.

1553
01:25:09,103 --> 01:25:10,438
Cool.

1554
01:25:10,505 --> 01:25:14,976
Believe it or not, the reality is
that beating you is going to help me

1555
01:25:15,043 --> 01:25:20,014
create the dynasty that I'm about to build
over your body.

1556
01:25:22,350 --> 01:25:25,353
That is all it is.

1557
01:25:27,822 --> 01:25:32,861
Your home city does have a history
of dynasties coming to an end.

1558
01:25:32,927 --> 01:25:35,730
I mean, your beloved New England Patriots,

1559
01:25:38,867 --> 01:25:40,401
the Boston Celtics,

1560
01:25:40,468 --> 01:25:47,442
the Red Sox, The Bruins,
whatever team from Boston that trash.

1561
01:25:49,344 --> 01:25:55,617
Thing is, I'm going to put an end
to your dynasty before it even begins.

1562
01:25:55,683 --> 01:26:00,288
And after battleground, you're going
to realize that you're not him.

1563
01:26:01,189 --> 01:26:03,124
You're nothing.

1564
01:26:03,191 --> 01:26:06,694
There's not a damn
thing you can do about it.

1565
01:26:10,031 --> 01:26:11,566
[Vic] Well, maybe there is.

1566
01:26:11,633 --> 01:26:13,601
Melo's heard enough.

1567
01:26:14,669 --> 01:26:16,271
Booker, this is breaking down.

1568
01:26:16,337 --> 01:26:17,906
Security is being taken out.

1569
01:26:17,972 --> 01:26:20,108
Finally, Melo getting
his hands on Breakker.

1570
01:26:20,175 --> 01:26:23,044
[Booker] Here we go.
Come on, security. Do your damn job.

1571
01:26:23,111 --> 01:26:26,781
[Vic] It's breaking ahead of battleground.
[Booker] This ain't the time.

1572
01:26:26,848 --> 01:26:29,384
[Vic] We don't have enough security, Book.

1573
01:26:36,157 --> 01:26:38,359
[Vic] Breakker, Melo.

1574
01:26:38,426 --> 01:26:41,529
[crowd screams]

1575
01:26:47,769 --> 01:26:49,771
Breakker one more time, Melo.

1576
01:26:49,837 --> 01:26:52,640
He's seen this movie before. Goes low.

1577
01:26:53,041 --> 01:26:58,246
[crowd cheers]

1578
01:27:04,586 --> 01:27:09,324
[Vic] What are these two willing to do
to destroy the other?

1579
01:27:09,624 --> 01:27:13,595
The defiant champion will have
the homecourt advantage

1580
01:27:13,661 --> 01:27:16,764
in his backyard, but will that be
enough to keep Breakker

1581
01:27:16,831 --> 01:27:23,137
from regaining the gold a week
from this Sunday at battleground?

1582
01:27:23,838 --> 01:27:29,177
[ending music]

1583
01:27:29,310 --> 01:27:32,513
Subtitles: Rocio Dikun
a week
from this Sunday at battleground?
