[WWE signature intro playing]

2
00:00:04,437 --> 00:00:05,672
[Cena] Then.

3
00:00:06,940 --> 00:00:08,074
[Flair] Woo!

4
00:00:08,141 --> 00:00:09,542
[The Rock] If you smell!

5
00:00:10,677 --> 00:00:12,011
[Cena] Now.

6
00:00:12,078 --> 00:00:14,180
[Roman] Acknowledge me!

00:00:14,247 --> 00:00:17,050
-[Triple H] The King of Kings.
-[Cena] You can't see me.

8
00:00:17,117 --> 00:00:18,284
Forever.

00:00:22,889 --> 00:00:24,057

[crowd chants " NXT"]

11
00:00:30,997 --> 00:00:34,234
[Vic] On the heels
of a historic NXT Battleground,

12
00:00:34,300 --> 00:00:37,537
we are looking
at a different sort of battlefield.

13
00:00:37,604 --> 00:00:41,574
As this steel cage has been weaponized
for Gigi Dolin

14
00:00:41,641 --> 00:00:46,279
and Jacy Jayne who looked to end
what has been a toxic friendship.

15
00:00:48,681 --> 00:00:49,983
[Jacy] Toxic.

16
00:00:53,920 --> 00:00:56,056
I have been carrying Gigi Dolin

17
00:00:56,122 --> 00:00:58,958
since the day
we formed this group, and I'm done.

18
00:01:02,028 --> 00:01:06,266
Gigi Dolin, you poor, pathetic soul.

19
00:01:07,700 --> 00:01:09,069
I broke your face.

20
00:01:10,336 --> 00:01:11,471
I broke your heart.

21
00:01:12,605 --> 00:01:14,607
[yelling]

22
00:01:15,708 --> 00:01:19,412
Now, all that's left to do
is break your will.

23
00:01:20,613 --> 00:01:23,583
[Gigi] Jacy Jayne is a bad person.

24
00:01:23,650 --> 00:01:28,288
My brother and I, neither of us ever knew
what a stable family felt like,

25
00:01:28,354 --> 00:01:31,124
but when I came here,
I thought I found one.

26
00:01:31,191 --> 00:01:35,995
I allowed Jacy Jayne
in just so she could tear everything down.

27
00:01:36,062 --> 00:01:38,164
And the pain that is tucked into my soul--

28
00:01:38,231 --> 00:01:40,066
[Jacy] All right. All right.

29
00:01:41,468 --> 00:01:44,637
Everybody just loves Gigi Dolin, right?

30
00:01:44,704 --> 00:01:48,274
It was truly the run of your career

31
00:01:48,341 --> 00:01:50,777
riding shotgun to me.

32
00:01:50,844 --> 00:01:53,213
The last time we were in that ring,

33
00:01:53,279 --> 00:01:56,483
I beat you and then I embarrassed you

34
00:01:56,549 --> 00:01:59,619
in front of your pathetic little brother.

35
00:01:59,686 --> 00:02:01,321
It's always been me.

36
00:02:01,387 --> 00:02:03,723
I'm the star, not your loser sister.

37
00:02:03,790 --> 00:02:09,329
[Gigi] But you also had to get
eight stitches to fix your face, Jacy.

38
00:02:09,395 --> 00:02:11,898
You'll do whatever it takes
just to make sure

39
00:02:11,965 --> 00:02:15,068
that you're not remembered
as the third wheel

40
00:02:15,135 --> 00:02:19,806
because Jacy Jayne is a big-ass bitch.

41
00:02:20,907 --> 00:02:23,042
And I beat you at Roadblock.

42
00:02:23,109 --> 00:02:27,147
So, how about we settle
this right here, right now?

43
00:02:27,213 --> 00:02:29,215
[Jacy] You know what, you're on.

44
00:02:29,282 --> 00:02:34,821
I want to end this inside
a steel cage match.

45
00:02:34,888 --> 00:02:40,260
[Gigi] Let's take it up a notch and make
it a Weaponized Steel Cage Match.

46
00:02:41,794 --> 00:02:45,598
[Vic] Both these women are gonna go
to dark, dark places

47
00:02:45,665 --> 00:02:50,737
to destroy the other
golden chain weaponized steel cage.

48
00:02:56,075 --> 00:03:00,413
And, Booker, these two have had all week
to design a devilish game plan.

49
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:03,983
Take a look. Everything you see is legal.

50
00:03:04,050 --> 00:03:05,351
[Booker] Yes. It is, Vic.

51
00:03:05,418 --> 00:03:08,188
-["Watch Me Now" plays]
-[Vic] You seem a little worried.

52
00:03:08,254 --> 00:03:09,322
[Booker] I am.

53
00:03:13,726 --> 00:03:14,761

55
00:03:16,362 --> 00:03:21,467
is a Weaponized Steel Cage Match!

56
00:03:21,534 --> 00:03:22,869
[Alicia] Introducing first--

57
00:03:22,936 --> 00:03:24,537
[Vic] Whoa. Whoa. Whoa.

58
00:03:24,604 --> 00:03:25,738
[Booker] What the…

59
00:03:27,273 --> 00:03:30,510
Oh, yeah.

60
00:03:30,577 --> 00:03:31,844
Let's do it!

61
00:03:31,911 --> 00:03:34,080
[Vic] Jayne from the jump.

62
00:03:35,448 --> 00:03:38,151
Referee's got to get
some sense of order here, Booker…

63
00:03:38,218 --> 00:03:40,320
-[Booker] Yeah, this is real.
-[Vic] …like, you know, the bell.

64
00:03:40,386 --> 00:03:43,590
[Booker] This is real. This is…
You know, this is personal.

65
00:03:43,656 --> 00:03:45,959
And right now it's getting deep.

66
00:03:46,025 --> 00:03:47,594
[indistinct speech]

67
00:03:50,630 --> 00:03:53,466
Taste this steel cage now.

68
00:03:54,534 --> 00:03:57,136
[Vic] For Jayne we talk about
that devilish game plan.

69
00:03:57,203 --> 00:03:58,571
-She just…
-[Booker] Oh!

70
00:03:58,638 --> 00:03:59,906
[Vic] …devised one.

71
00:03:59,973 --> 00:04:01,307
I mean, come on, Ref.

72
00:04:01,374 --> 00:04:03,376
[Jacy] [screams]

73
00:04:09,649 --> 00:04:12,118
[Vic] Well,
this is already getting uncomfortable.

74
00:04:13,686 --> 00:04:15,288
Dolin, who promised her family

75
00:04:15,355 --> 00:04:17,590
she was gonna let out
all of her rage tonight.

76
00:04:17,657 --> 00:04:20,360
-[bell rings]
-[Vic] In the early going it is Jayne.

77
00:04:20,426 --> 00:04:22,262
Finally, this matchup is official.

78
00:04:22,328 --> 00:04:24,330
[Booker] Look, Jacy Jayne, I mean, Vic--

79
00:04:24,397 --> 00:04:25,498
[Vic] And what she's picking up? What?

80
00:04:25,565 --> 00:04:26,699
[Booker] Whoa.

81
00:04:26,766 --> 00:04:29,535
[Vic] Oh, come on.
You know, I got to let everyone know.

82
00:04:29,602 --> 00:04:32,739
Both women demanded
that this match be decided by…

83
00:04:32,805 --> 00:04:33,940
[Booker] Oh, man!

84
00:04:34,007 --> 00:04:37,010
-[Vic] …pinfall and submission only.
-[Booker] Come on.

85
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:42,849
[Jacy] [screams]

86
00:04:43,916 --> 00:04:46,286
[Vic] And by pinfall submission only,
no escape.

87
00:04:46,352 --> 00:04:48,955
I mean, that certainly speaks volumes,
does it not?

88
00:04:49,022 --> 00:04:52,458
[Booker] It did.
From Toxic Attraction to this to this.

89
00:04:52,525 --> 00:04:56,362
The hottest duo in all of this business.

90
00:04:56,429 --> 00:05:00,566
This is the culmination
of that dramatic breakup right here, Vic.

91
00:05:00,633 --> 00:05:01,834
It's getting serious.

92
00:05:01,901 --> 00:05:03,202
It's getting real, man.

93
00:05:03,269 --> 00:05:07,140
[Vic] Well, this is the rubber match Jayne
wanted this to be settled in a cage

94
00:05:07,206 --> 00:05:10,310
and it was Dolin who wanted it
to be weaponized.

95
00:05:10,376 --> 00:05:12,979
I mean, Booker, you've been in a lot
of steel cage matches in the past.

96
00:05:13,046 --> 00:05:15,048
You certainly didn't walk out
the same as you walked in.

97
00:05:15,114 --> 00:05:19,285
[Booker] Oh, man, it takes, you know,
time and years off your career.

98
00:05:19,352 --> 00:05:21,354
The steel don't give, Vic.

99
00:05:21,421 --> 00:05:22,955
It don't give at all, but…

100
00:05:23,022 --> 00:05:27,293
And right now,
Gigi is letting it all hang out.

101
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:29,329
Oh, yes!

102
00:05:29,395 --> 00:05:32,165
-[crowd chants "Gigi, Gigi"]
-[Vic] How about that rage?

103
00:05:32,231 --> 00:05:35,401
And Dolin, who has been betrayed
in the past, but in her words,

104
00:05:35,468 --> 00:05:40,273
the betrayal of Jacy Jayne,
it hurt differently than anything before.

105
00:05:40,340 --> 00:05:41,607
-Oh!
-[Booker] Oh! Yeah.

106
00:05:41,674 --> 00:05:42,775
Just like that, Vic.

107
00:05:46,946 --> 00:05:48,881
[Vic] Dolin just wearing out Jayne.

108
00:05:48,948 --> 00:05:51,617
-[Booker] You've heard Gigi's story, Vic?
-[Vic] Yep.

109
00:05:51,684 --> 00:05:55,521
[Booker] It wasn't roses growing up
and when she found Toxic Attraction,

110
00:05:55,588 --> 00:05:57,290
she found family, Vic.

111
00:05:57,357 --> 00:05:59,525
So, it stings a little bit differently.

112
00:05:59,592 --> 00:06:00,626
Trust me.

113
00:06:00,693 --> 00:06:03,463
[Vic] I can only imagine
the stinging in this match…

114
00:06:03,529 --> 00:06:04,664
Look at this.

115
00:06:06,532 --> 00:06:09,802
Why stoop so low as to drag
someone's brother,

116
00:06:09,869 --> 00:06:11,537
mother, family,
they're passed, into a situation?

117
00:06:11,604 --> 00:06:12,672
[Booker] Come on, Vic. Come on.

118
00:06:12,739 --> 00:06:14,273
[Vic] Jacy Jayne's getting
what she deserves.

119
00:06:14,340 --> 00:06:15,708
[Booker] Look, I'm… I'm… Whoa, whoa.

120
00:06:15,775 --> 00:06:18,077
I'm not going to make excuses
for Jacy Jayne

121
00:06:18,144 --> 00:06:19,879
or anything like that but…

122
00:06:19,946 --> 00:06:23,116
Oh! Yes. Oh, yes. Wait a minute.

123
00:06:24,751 --> 00:06:27,019
I've told you before.
I've told you before.

124
00:06:27,086 --> 00:06:29,822
Wait a minute. Wait a minute.
I think this might be it.

125
00:06:29,889 --> 00:06:32,325
[Vic] Dolin, looking
to end it all here tonight.

126
00:06:32,392 --> 00:06:34,794
-[crowd counts]
-[Booker] Look, I've said it.

127
00:06:34,861 --> 00:06:37,497
I mean, it may not be about family,
with Jacy Jayne.

128
00:06:37,563 --> 00:06:39,665
That… That ride is toxic, man.

129
00:06:39,732 --> 00:06:41,701
There's the fame, you know what I mean?

130
00:06:41,768 --> 00:06:43,603
Champagne wishes and caviar dreams.

131
00:06:43,669 --> 00:06:46,072
[Vic] Well, talking about dreams
and champagne.

132
00:06:46,139 --> 00:06:49,709
There's your NXT Champion Carmelo Hayes,
who is celebrating all weekend.

133
00:06:49,776 --> 00:06:52,278
What a celebration
this will be a Tiffy-bration

134
00:06:52,345 --> 00:06:54,013
for the new NXT Women's Champion.

135
00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,282
But right now,
this is not about champions.

136
00:06:56,349 --> 00:06:59,685
This is about checks.
It's about punishment and brutality.

137
00:06:59,752 --> 00:07:02,688
[Booker] It is. It is.
Right now, this is about payback.

138
00:07:02,755 --> 00:07:05,391
I mean, one thing about
when you grow up like Gigi,

139
00:07:05,458 --> 00:07:09,128
you don't miss what you've never had
when you find it.

140
00:07:09,195 --> 00:07:11,330
Man, like I say, it's something different.

141
00:07:11,397 --> 00:07:14,267
Toxic Attraction thing,
you got to agree with me.

142
00:07:14,333 --> 00:07:16,769
-It was different, man.
-[Vic] It was different.

143
00:07:16,836 --> 00:07:19,739
That's why the sisterhood
was different for Gigi Dolin.

144
00:07:19,806 --> 00:07:22,308
But this is certainly
a different sort of match.

145
00:07:22,375 --> 00:07:23,609
A weaponized.

146
00:07:23,676 --> 00:07:26,779
-[Booker] Oh, what is this?
-[Vic] Wait a minute.

147
00:07:27,914 --> 00:07:30,249
Are there thorns wrapped around that bat?

148
00:07:30,316 --> 00:07:34,687
Oh, to the midsection.
Driving the thorns into Jayne.

149
00:07:34,754 --> 00:07:36,589
[Booker] Man.

150
00:07:36,656 --> 00:07:37,857
Like I said, I'm not--

151
00:07:37,924 --> 00:07:40,393
[Referee] Jacy Jayne, what do you say?

152
00:07:40,460 --> 00:07:42,061
Come on, what do you say?

153
00:07:42,128 --> 00:07:43,729
Do you give up? Do you give up?

154
00:07:43,796 --> 00:07:46,065
[indistinct speech]

155
00:07:46,132 --> 00:07:50,203
-[Vic] Dolin vowed to end this tonight.
-[Booker] Come on.

156
00:07:50,269 --> 00:07:56,175
I mean, we're talking about two-time
NXT Women's Tag-Team Champions.

157
00:07:56,242 --> 00:07:58,077
Now, this is it, Vic.

158
00:07:58,144 --> 00:08:01,714
It's coming down
to this one night of brutality.

159
00:08:01,781 --> 00:08:03,182
-Oh!
-[Vic] Oh.

160
00:08:03,249 --> 00:08:04,517
Jayne is turning around.

161
00:08:04,584 --> 00:08:06,219
-Plating Dolin!
-[Booker] Oh!

162
00:08:06,285 --> 00:08:09,021
[Vic] Ricocheting off the trash can.
Don't go anywhere.

163
00:08:09,088 --> 00:08:13,159
Don't miss a second of the action as this
Weaponized Steel Cage Match continues.

164
00:08:13,226 --> 00:08:16,829
-[crowd chants "NXT"]
-[Jacy] Is this what you wanted?

165
00:08:16,896 --> 00:08:18,498
[Vic] We are back live on NXT.

166
00:08:18,564 --> 00:08:21,400
Everything legal
in this Weaponized Steel Cage Match.

167
00:08:21,467 --> 00:08:23,703
We have seen welts, bruises,

168
00:08:23,769 --> 00:08:25,371
flesh being ripped by the steel

169
00:08:25,438 --> 00:08:28,774
and now Jayne using a chain
around the face of Gigi Dolin.

170
00:08:28,841 --> 00:08:31,477
-[Booker] Yeah. This has been brutal.
-[Vic] Oh!

171
00:08:31,544 --> 00:08:36,349
[Booker] And the blow right there,
Jacy Jayne just took a hard shot.

172
00:08:36,415 --> 00:08:38,651
Right now, Gigi, there's a window.

173
00:08:38,718 --> 00:08:40,686
That window just opened, Vic.

174
00:08:40,753 --> 00:08:42,955
[Vic] Jayne has been nothing but a menace.

175
00:08:43,022 --> 00:08:47,560
Gigi Dolin has shown no end
for her sinister comments,

176
00:08:47,627 --> 00:08:50,630
but she is gonna be feeling
the pain here tonight.

177
00:08:50,696 --> 00:08:52,231
Dolin into the cover.

178
00:08:52,298 --> 00:08:56,536
Hook of the leg and Jayne
has able to kick out.

179
00:08:57,536 --> 00:08:58,604
This is unbelievable.

180
00:08:58,671 --> 00:09:01,340
We saw all the action
throughout the commercial break.

181
00:09:01,407 --> 00:09:03,609
Again, Booker, you look around everything,

182
00:09:03,676 --> 00:09:08,180
anything legal inside this steel cage

183
00:09:08,247 --> 00:09:11,384
and yet another solid steel chair.

184
00:09:12,652 --> 00:09:15,421
[Booker] These matches
aren't good for your career, Vic.

185
00:09:15,488 --> 00:09:19,959
[Vic] Well, Jayne was so proud
to cause Dolin her golden moment in LA.

186
00:09:20,026 --> 00:09:21,527
Proud to kick her in the face.

187
00:09:21,594 --> 00:09:24,430
Proud to beat Dolin down
in front of her younger brother.

188
00:09:24,497 --> 00:09:27,533
Gigi Dolin remembers
every single one of those moments

189
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:29,235
to make Jayne pay here tonight.

190
00:09:29,302 --> 00:09:30,569
[Booker] Come on, Vic.

191
00:09:30,636 --> 00:09:32,271
I mean, come on, it sounds like

192
00:09:32,338 --> 00:09:34,473
you getting a little soft on me here, man.

193
00:09:34,540 --> 00:09:37,310
I mean, Gigi was vulnerable.
She exposed herself, Vic.

194
00:09:37,376 --> 00:09:39,712
[Vic] Looking for the half and half
and turning right back and…

195
00:09:39,779 --> 00:09:40,947
-Oh!
-[Booker] Oh, yes!

196
00:09:41,013 --> 00:09:42,114
[Vic] Dolin!

197
00:09:42,181 --> 00:09:44,183
[Booker] I can see this is warfare, Vic.

198
00:09:44,250 --> 00:09:46,719
You use what you got to get
what you want to get.

199
00:09:46,786 --> 00:09:47,920
Here we go.

200
00:09:47,987 --> 00:09:50,323
-Oh, my. So close.
-[Vic] Oh, near fall.

201
00:09:50,389 --> 00:09:52,491
And I've asked this in the past, Booker.

202
00:09:52,558 --> 00:09:57,129
What lengths are these two willing
to go in this matchup?

203
00:09:57,196 --> 00:09:58,731
Because Jayne… Bam!

204
00:09:58,798 --> 00:10:01,100
Risking her own life
and limb in that moment,

205
00:10:01,167 --> 00:10:02,902
in this match to gain the victory.

206
00:10:02,969 --> 00:10:05,538
[Booker] I don't know
how far Gigi is willing to go.

207
00:10:05,605 --> 00:10:08,908
I know how far Jacy Jayne
is willing to go, Vic,

208
00:10:08,975 --> 00:10:11,811
because she's a rockstar, man.

209
00:10:11,877 --> 00:10:15,281
She's at the front of her class, dawg.

210
00:10:15,348 --> 00:10:16,549
-Come on.
-[Vic] Oh.

211
00:10:18,517 --> 00:10:20,219
[Booker] Oh, wow. Here we go.

212
00:10:20,286 --> 00:10:22,154
[Vic] We knew this would be physical.

213
00:10:22,221 --> 00:10:25,691
We knew this would be brutal
at some point, it's even hard to watch.

214
00:10:25,758 --> 00:10:28,160
[Booker] Just took the night off,
I think, Vic.

215
00:10:28,227 --> 00:10:29,495
[Vic] Oh, look at Dolin.

216
00:10:29,562 --> 00:10:32,131
She said she'd unleash
all that rage here tonight.

217
00:10:32,198 --> 00:10:34,266
[Booker] Oh, wait a minute. Wait a minute.

218
00:10:34,333 --> 00:10:35,935
[Vic] Whoa, whoa, whoa, Jayne.

219
00:10:36,002 --> 00:10:37,436
Oh, no!

220
00:10:39,972 --> 00:10:41,073
Oh!

221
00:10:43,275 --> 00:10:49,215
Eerily familiar to when Jayne
kicked Dolin's face through a door.

222
00:10:50,650 --> 00:10:52,018
Cannonball connects.

223
00:10:53,986 --> 00:10:57,890
Jayne's soaking in every moment,
and now she's going into the coverage.

224
00:10:57,957 --> 00:10:59,692
Is this finally the end?

225
00:10:59,759 --> 00:11:03,763
-Dolin, not done yet.
-[Booker] Oh, yes!

226
00:11:03,829 --> 00:11:04,897
Let me tell you.

227
00:11:04,964 --> 00:11:08,934
After that last two big shots,
I thought that was it for Gigi Dolin, Vic.

228
00:11:11,237 --> 00:11:14,006
[Vic] Dolin just trying to keep feeling
in her left arm,

229
00:11:14,073 --> 00:11:15,408
moving her fingers around.

230
00:11:15,474 --> 00:11:17,843
-Jayne now.
-[Booker] I like this, I like this.

231
00:11:17,910 --> 00:11:20,846
Keeping the pressure on like that.
That was just second.

232
00:11:20,913 --> 00:11:23,149
No wasted movements, Vic.

233
00:11:23,215 --> 00:11:26,085
I like it. Oh, yes!

234
00:11:26,152 --> 00:11:29,388
[Vic] No waste of movement, Book,
even when it comes to finding

235
00:11:29,455 --> 00:11:32,758
what's usable inside this weaponized cage.

236
00:11:33,993 --> 00:11:35,327
[Booker] It's legal, Vic.

237
00:11:35,394 --> 00:11:37,229
It's all legal.

238
00:11:39,632 --> 00:11:41,801
[Vic] You take a look at the NXT Universe,

239
00:11:41,867 --> 00:11:43,969
no one's on their phone, no one's doing…

240
00:11:44,036 --> 00:11:47,406
Everyone's eyes are fixated on the way

241
00:11:47,473 --> 00:11:50,176
we're kicking off NXT this Tuesday night.

242
00:11:50,242 --> 00:11:51,377
And Jayne…

243
00:11:56,582 --> 00:11:58,317
Dolin trying her best now.

244
00:11:58,384 --> 00:12:00,019
Dolin with the upper hand.

245
00:12:00,086 --> 00:12:02,088
[Booker] Going for the kill shot, Vic.

246
00:12:02,154 --> 00:12:04,523
-Whoever lands this shot…
-[Vic] Oh, ho, ho.

247
00:12:04,590 --> 00:12:07,560
[Booker] Whoever lands
this big shot, that could be it.

248
00:12:09,228 --> 00:12:11,230
[Vic] Again, pinfall, submission only.

249
00:12:11,297 --> 00:12:15,134
That's the way
these two women wanted this matchup.

250
00:12:15,201 --> 00:12:16,836
-No escape.
-[Booker] Wow!

251
00:12:16,902 --> 00:12:20,005
[Vic] They wanted to settle it
inside the cage.

252
00:12:25,878 --> 00:12:29,048
Book, I know you've had
a Hall of Fame career twice over you.

253
00:12:29,115 --> 00:12:32,218
I'm looking at you, you're even in awe
at some of the things

254
00:12:32,284 --> 00:12:33,652
we're witnessing right now.

255
00:12:33,719 --> 00:12:35,921
[Booker] It's sad to see more of anything.

256
00:12:35,988 --> 00:12:40,493
It's sad to see these two in the middle
of this ring creating havoc

257
00:12:40,559 --> 00:12:41,694
and mayhem.

258
00:12:41,761 --> 00:12:45,431
[Vic] Especially after friendship
that they had, the bond that they had,

259
00:12:45,498 --> 00:12:48,567
and perhaps the greatest women's tag team
ever in NXT history.

260
00:12:48,634 --> 00:12:51,303
-[Booker] They are. They are.
-[Vic] And right now…

261
00:12:51,370 --> 00:12:53,506
Brook, they are in a precarious position.

262
00:12:53,572 --> 00:12:57,743
[Booker] Oh, they're
in a high-risk district right now, man.

263
00:12:57,810 --> 00:13:01,714
[Vic] Oh. Dolin one after another.

264
00:13:07,153 --> 00:13:09,421
-Oh, Book, Book, Book, Book!
-[Booker] Oh. Oh!

265
00:13:13,759 --> 00:13:15,628
[Vic] Dolin off the choke slam.

266
00:13:15,694 --> 00:13:16,962
[crowd counts]

267
00:13:17,029 --> 00:13:20,332
[Vic] Dolin survives the Weaponized Cage.

268
00:13:20,399 --> 00:13:21,667
["Watch Me Now" plays]

269
00:13:21,734 --> 00:13:25,805
[Alicia] Here is your winner, Gigi Dolin.

270
00:13:25,871 --> 00:13:30,009
[Vic] After all the heartache,
after all the heartbreak,

271
00:13:30,075 --> 00:13:34,046
how good must it feel for Gigi Dolin?

272
00:13:37,817 --> 00:13:41,754
Standing ovation
from the NXT Universe for the war…

273
00:13:41,820 --> 00:13:44,757
-[Booker] Another win.
-[Vic] …that she just went through.

274
00:13:44,824 --> 00:13:46,425
[Booker] I'm overwhelmed, Vic.

275
00:13:46,492 --> 00:13:49,328
[crowd chats "Yes"]

276
00:13:56,202 --> 00:13:58,404
[Vic] I mean,
this started right off ripped.

277
00:13:58,470 --> 00:14:01,273
They didn't even finish Alicia Taylor
ring announcement

278
00:14:01,340 --> 00:14:05,144
before Jacy Jayne came down
to get a jumpstart on Gigi Dolin.

279
00:14:05,211 --> 00:14:06,645
The bell hadn't even rung.

280
00:14:06,712 --> 00:14:09,481
This match wasn't even official
at this moment.

281
00:14:09,548 --> 00:14:14,253
But finally, the action would spill inside
this Weaponized Steel Cage Match.

282
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,590
And Gigi Dolin early on,
she was in firm control,

283
00:14:17,656 --> 00:14:20,726
but that was until Gigi Dolin
was picked up

284
00:14:20,793 --> 00:14:24,663
and almost dismantled
through that steel cage.

285
00:14:24,730 --> 00:14:27,066
And Jayne had all week
to think about this.

286
00:14:27,132 --> 00:14:30,970
Bam, just like she did to Gigi Dolin
through a door,

287
00:14:31,036 --> 00:14:36,008
this time through a table
went Jayne from Dolin.

288
00:14:36,075 --> 00:14:37,376
And this was unreal.

289
00:14:37,443 --> 00:14:39,778
I'm almost speechless right now
and tongue-tied

290
00:14:39,845 --> 00:14:45,284
from what we witnessed to kick us off
here tonight on NXT.

291
00:14:45,351 --> 00:14:49,755
Take a look at the carnage, at the mayhem.

292
00:14:49,822 --> 00:14:55,027
The vicious cycle of toxicity
is over for Gigi Dolin,

293
00:14:55,094 --> 00:15:00,165
who can now use her past
to fuel her future.

294
00:15:00,232 --> 00:15:03,969
Unbelievable way to kick off NXT.

295
00:15:04,036 --> 00:15:05,271
Book, are you all right?

296
00:15:05,337 --> 00:15:07,373
-Are you okay right now?
-[Booker] Yeah.

297
00:15:07,439 --> 00:15:10,242
I'm just hoping Jacy is okay, man.
That was a big shot.

298
00:15:10,309 --> 00:15:12,611
[Vic] What a way to kick off
NXT here tonight

299
00:15:12,678 --> 00:15:14,680
with that Weaponized Steel Cage Match,

300
00:15:14,747 --> 00:15:18,484
but what a weekend it was for the WWE,
Saturday afternoon,

301
00:15:18,550 --> 00:15:21,220
Night of Champions in Saudi Arabia,
and for NXT,

302
00:15:21,287 --> 00:15:24,790
what a night it was Sunday
at NXT Battleground.

303
00:15:27,459 --> 00:15:30,162
Chaos is brewing, tension is rising,

304
00:15:30,229 --> 00:15:33,265
and our superstars ready for a fight.

305
00:15:33,332 --> 00:15:36,835
Lowell, Massachusetts, Battleground!

306
00:15:36,902 --> 00:15:39,104
[Trick] A point
where we still get the win,

307
00:15:39,171 --> 00:15:41,807
the city of champions here.

308
00:15:41,874 --> 00:15:44,877
["ANIMAL" plays]

309
00:15:51,216 --> 00:15:55,521
[Vic] Ava, sticking her nose
in places that doesn't belong to her.

310
00:15:55,587 --> 00:15:56,955
[Booker] And still…

311
00:15:58,357 --> 00:16:01,694
[Vic] Wes Lee,
the most successful title defenses

312
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:04,763
of the North American Championship.

313
00:16:12,004 --> 00:16:13,205
What? Lash Legend.

314
00:16:15,274 --> 00:16:17,209
[Noam] [yelling]

315
00:16:17,276 --> 00:16:19,511
Thank you. Bye-bye.

316
00:16:24,516 --> 00:16:29,922
[Dijak] There's nothing I won't sacrifice
to be the last man standing.

317
00:16:29,988 --> 00:16:32,057
Get them out of here.

318
00:16:32,124 --> 00:16:33,792
They don't need to see this.

319
00:16:33,859 --> 00:16:38,097
[Vic] Dijak just told his wife
and kid he doesn't want them to see.

320
00:16:38,163 --> 00:16:39,965
[Dijak] Somebody's gonna get hurt.

321
00:16:40,032 --> 00:16:42,167
[Ilja] I've never feared pain.

322
00:16:42,234 --> 00:16:44,970
Pain makes you feel alive.

323
00:16:48,440 --> 00:16:50,709
-[Dijak] You need to stay down.
-[Ilja] No!

324
00:16:50,776 --> 00:16:54,613
[Dragunov] I'm invincible, unbreakable.

325
00:16:56,782 --> 00:17:00,352
[Vic] Dragunov is the last man standing.

326
00:17:00,419 --> 00:17:04,289
[Tiffany] It's off the Battleground
to become the NXT Women's Champ.

327
00:17:04,356 --> 00:17:07,393
[Vic] She's ready for primetime, man.

328
00:17:07,459 --> 00:17:11,463
[Lyra] To become Women's Champion,
I must risk it all.

329
00:17:12,798 --> 00:17:15,901
[Booker] As the damage
has been done to that left knee…

330
00:17:15,968 --> 00:17:18,137
[Vic] How much can Lyra Valkyria take?

331
00:17:19,571 --> 00:17:21,807
Stratton has made it to the tippy top.

332
00:17:24,343 --> 00:17:27,846
[Hayes] Bron Breakker,
I want you my neck of the woods.

333
00:17:27,913 --> 00:17:29,615
Let's talk about it.

334
00:17:30,716 --> 00:17:33,952
[Vic] It's main event time
for the NXT title at Battleground.

335
00:17:34,019 --> 00:17:36,989
[Hayes] I'm not coming to Lowell
to witness a homecoming.

336
00:17:37,056 --> 00:17:39,324
I'm coming to Lowell
to dish out a massacre.

337
00:17:39,391 --> 00:17:41,660
[Booker] Oh, we're about to get this busy.

338
00:17:42,928 --> 00:17:46,432
[Vic] Bron Breakker has been operating
on a totally different level.

339
00:17:50,702 --> 00:17:52,938
Carmelo to retain!

340
00:17:53,005 --> 00:17:57,242
Melo's dynasty is just beginning in NXT.

341
00:18:01,947 --> 00:18:05,250
[McKenzie] Wes Lee, we're now 48 hours
removed from Battleground,

342
00:18:05,317 --> 00:18:08,720
where you became the longest-reigning
NXT North American Champion

343
00:18:08,787 --> 00:18:10,989
with 10 successful title defenses.

344
00:18:11,056 --> 00:18:12,925
Has it sunk in yet?

345
00:18:12,991 --> 00:18:15,494
[Wes] I mean, now, did you say…

346
00:18:15,561 --> 00:18:17,663
Yeah. Girl, I am pumped!

347
00:18:17,729 --> 00:18:20,132
Yahoo, ho-oh.

348
00:18:20,199 --> 00:18:23,769
A bit sore at the same time though
because it comes with the territory.

00:18:23,836 --> 00:18:24,903
You know, oh…

350
00:18:24,970 --> 00:18:28,440
Back in Halloween Havoc, when I won
the North American Championship,

351
00:18:28,507 --> 00:18:31,477
I had no idea how long
she was going to be riding with me,

352
00:18:31,543 --> 00:18:33,612
but through all the multiple multi-mans,

353
00:18:33,679 --> 00:18:36,215
the open challenges,
the unforeseen odds, the--

354
00:18:36,281 --> 00:18:38,517
[Fowler] Sunday's victory proved nothing.

-[Jagger] As a reminder.

[Bate] If you want to fight Wes,
you're gonna have to fight me as well.

360
00:18:49,995 --> 00:18:51,396
[Fowler] Argh!

[Bate] Why y'all leaving now, huh? Huh?

362
00:18:54,433 --> 00:18:56,168
I told you Sunday at Battleground,

363
00:18:56,235 --> 00:18:58,470
it was strictly
in the spirit of competition.

364
00:18:58,537 --> 00:19:00,839
We're still mates
and I've still got your back.

365
00:19:03,308 --> 00:19:05,811
-[Wes] Appreciate you, dawg.
-[Bate] Anytime.

366
00:19:07,179 --> 00:19:10,115
[Vic] That was good news for Wes Lee,
but what a great night

367
00:19:10,182 --> 00:19:13,785
it was for Carmelo Hayes this past Sunday.

368
00:19:13,852 --> 00:19:16,688
It was quite the homecoming
for Hayes, the NXT Champion,

369
00:19:16,755 --> 00:19:19,758
and Trick Williams are here next on NXT.

The Creeds, they are tough,

00:19:53,192 --> 00:19:55,627
but chalk another lineup
for the Gallus boys, eh?

378
00:19:55,694 --> 00:19:57,896
[Mark] Absolutely. No one can stop Gallus.

379
00:19:57,963 --> 00:20:01,066
We never stop. Done?

380
00:20:01,133 --> 00:20:03,268

[Joe] I would've said Tony D
has made Stacks,

383
00:20:06,838 --> 00:20:08,707
but I don't think Tony D can do much

with both hands tied
behind his backs, do you?

385
00:20:11,210 --> 00:20:12,744
Yeah. Here am I.

386
00:20:12,811 --> 00:20:15,948
It wasn't me, officer.
I swear I'm a nice guy.

387
00:20:16,014 --> 00:20:17,783

You ratted on Tony D.

[Mark] No, not me.
We've done no such thing. All right?

391
00:20:25,324 --> 00:20:26,558
[Wolfgang] Anyway, what are you gonna do

392
00:20:26,625 --> 00:20:28,927
knowing your big brothers are behind bars?

393
00:20:29,928 --> 00:20:31,230
[Stacks] Better question.

Get out! We need some help.

might be a silly question,

Melo, we went to your hometown…

418
00:21:57,582 --> 00:22:02,621
you went to Battleground
and you left still champion.

00:22:07,459 --> 00:22:08,593

I did that and still…
All right, y'all, listen.

NXT Battleground was exactly that.

422

is sometimes you got

to this NXT Championship,

00:26:51,409 --> 00:26:53,678
He doesn't have
to have his minutes measured.

507
00:26:53,745 --> 00:26:56,147
-He's ready to go tonight.
-[Booker] Look, man.

508
00:26:56,214 --> 00:26:58,750
It's not smart, Vic,
but let me tell you something.

509
00:26:58,817 --> 00:27:02,187
That's what champions do.
That's Carmelo Hayes, man.

510
00:27:02,253 --> 00:27:04,723
[Vic] Well,
that could be a huge main event

511
00:27:04,789 --> 00:27:06,391
if that match is made official.

512
00:27:06,458 --> 00:27:09,027
But right now, Book,
I wanna go back to something

513
00:27:09,094 --> 00:27:11,730
that actually happened earlier today.

514
00:27:11,796 --> 00:27:14,733
[Cora] You guys all saw it.
Go back and watch the match.

515

Lyra headbutted me right in this eye.

516
00:27:17,335 --> 00:27:19,437
I was basically blind for half the match.

517
00:27:19,504 --> 00:27:22,374
And if I could have seen,
I would've been at Battleground

518
00:27:22,440 --> 00:27:24,709
and I would already be Women's Champion.

519
00:27:24,776 --> 00:27:27,545
-[crosstalk]
-No, no, no, no.

520
00:27:27,612 --> 00:27:31,216
[Cora] Anyways, the only person
we should be celebrating tonight is me.

521
00:27:31,282 --> 00:27:35,020
My accomplishments,
my star power, all about me.

522
00:27:35,086 --> 00:27:38,056
But no, everyone has to screw
over Cora Jade.

523
00:27:38,123 --> 00:27:40,492
-I deserve to be Women's Champion.
-[Ivy] Cora.

We've all heard it with your whining.

525
00:27:44,696 --> 00:27:46,364
Injuries are a part of the game.

526
00:27:46,431 --> 00:27:49,534
Suck it up and get over it. You lost.

527
00:27:49,601 --> 00:27:52,871
A lot of women in the locker room
would've loved an opportunity

528
00:27:52,937 --> 00:27:54,372
to compete in the tournament.

529
00:27:55,473 --> 00:27:58,176
[Cora] Look, Ivy don't come
in here giving me attitude

530
00:27:58,243 --> 00:28:01,212
just because your boys
couldn't get the job done on Sunday

531
00:28:01,279 --> 00:28:02,614
and Ava whipped your ass.

[Ivy] We were all in a fight.
And where were you on Sunday, huh?

535

You don't hear us bitching about it.

537
00:28:16,227 --> 00:28:18,596
[Cora] I'm not scared of her.

538
00:28:18,663 --> 00:28:19,931
I'm really not.

539
00:28:21,499 --> 00:28:24,936
[Vic] We'll find out later
because due to that altercation,

540
00:28:25,003 --> 00:28:30,475

on tonight, live on NXT.

[Vic] As Fowler and Reid said earlier
when the North American Champion Wes Lee

548
00:28:52,630 --> 00:28:54,766
was being interviewed
by McKenzie Mitchell,

549
00:28:54,833 --> 00:28:58,436
they are here because of Joe Gacy.

Fuel added to this match
after that altercation,

00:29:02,207 --> 00:29:06,111
but what a tag team showdown
we are about to witness

552
00:29:06,177 --> 00:29:09,981
here on NXT as The Dyad will meet Bate
and Wes Lee

562
00:30:01,399 --> 00:30:02,901
[Reggie] You see, Reggie.

Everybody always calling me that.

but growing up
my people called me Scrypts.

566
00:30:09,140 --> 00:30:12,043
[Axiom] Your people?
Like, your family? Hold on.

567
00:30:12,110 --> 00:30:14,612
-Why Scrypts?
-[Reggie] Definitely, not my family.

But look, I don't want to get
in that right now.

[Reggie] When you took my mask off,
it opened my eyes.

574
00:30:30,762 --> 00:30:34,032
It was like I was living
in a cave watching shadows on the wall,

575
00:30:34,098 --> 00:30:37,802
but now I am living in the sunlight
and seeing what's meant to be seen.

576
00:30:37,869 --> 00:30:38,937
[Axiom] Wow.

577
00:30:39,003 --> 00:30:40,471
[Reggie] And then Dabba-Kato

tried to take you out
after the match last week.

I just couldn't sit back
and watch that happen,

that helped me open my eyes.

Wes Lee!

590
00:31:32,423 --> 00:31:35,627
[Vic] All right, Booker,
you've been very adamant that Bate, Lee,

591
00:31:35,693 --> 00:31:37,295
the friendship was on the rocks.

592
00:31:37,362 --> 00:31:41,933
So, how do you explain
how this is gonna work out tonight?

-[Booker] I don't. I really don't.
-[Vic] What do you mean you don't?

No, the thing is,

I don't trust Tyler Bate,
I mean, this guy…

598

I mean he's very accomplished though,
I mean, Triple Crown winner.

He's very, very accomplished.

602
00:32:00,084 --> 00:32:02,854
[Vic] Is it so hard for you
to believe that Tyler Bate,

603

he might just be just a good guy?

-[Booker] I know what he's all about.

-My thing is…
-[Vic] You know it.

[Booker] …I've been
in this business a long time, man.

608

Every time I've had a beef with somebody,
I told them straight up front,

"I'm coming for you, bro,
I want that title."

610
00:32:14,866 --> 00:32:18,236
Tyler Bate, he couldn't do that.
He's what's called, Vic, a scourge.

He's the scourge of this world.
You know what that means, right?

-[Vic] I just know it's a trouble word.

-[Referee] Ring the bell.

or suffering.

[Vic] You downloaded the Thesaurus app,
didn't you?

617
00:32:32,283 --> 00:32:35,653
Well, Bate on Sunday strictly said
it was his spirit of competition.

I, for one, believe him.

619
00:32:37,488 --> 00:32:40,091
But when we talk
about Sunday triple-threat rules,

620
00:32:40,158 --> 00:32:42,827
Wes Lee was at a disadvantage.
He was successful again.

621

He now has the record

00:32:44,028 --> 00:32:46,631

at 10.

ever?

the will, the determination
of this young man

the greatest North American Champion

00:33:01,346 --> 00:33:02,413
in his history.

629
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:05,717

And near fall.

right between the eyes.

[Vic] Oh, nasty.

00:33:31,743 --> 00:33:33,177

about that he's a big guy and he's looking

to make some big, big moves here tonight
at the expense of the champ.

to do the bidding for--

649

[Vic] You can see Ava
still on the outside.

651
00:33:47,392 --> 00:33:49,827
Nice takedown by Lee.
Lee charging already.

652
00:33:49,894 --> 00:33:51,329
Gets caught! No, he did not get caught.

653
00:33:51,396 --> 00:33:53,965
What a takedown.
Hook of the leg, and a near fall.

654
00:33:54,032 --> 00:33:55,133
[Booker] You call him the Kardiac kid?

655
00:33:55,199 --> 00:33:56,367
[Vic] Kardiac kid with a cardiac kick.

656
00:33:56,434 --> 00:34:00,238
[Booker] Oh, we just had a heart attack
watching that move right there, man.

657
00:34:00,304 --> 00:34:02,440
-That was good.
-[Vic] A tag was made.

and coming down right across

660
00:34:06,911 --> 00:34:10,181
Now, Tyler Bate centers himself.
He's shown who he really is.

661
00:34:10,248 --> 00:34:11,349
-Oh, oh.
-[Booker] Oh, you see that?

662
00:34:11,416 --> 00:34:13,217
You see that? Was that on purpose?

663
00:34:13,284 --> 00:34:14,819
-Was that on purpose?
-[Vic] No, of course. It was not.

664

Looked a little suspicious.

665
00:34:17,221 --> 00:34:19,891
[Vic] Well, tag made.
And in comes Reid now.

666
00:34:19,957 --> 00:34:23,361
And you've got to take a look.
This is what The Dyad is so good at.

Systematically dissecting their opponents.

Reeling them in
and then taking them down is Wes Lee.

00:34:33,171 --> 00:34:36,240
[Booker] Wow. Talking about dynamics
this kid is unbelievable.

671
00:34:36,307 --> 00:34:38,943
-[Vic] Stereo dropkick.
-[Booker] He's so explosive.

672
00:34:39,010 --> 00:34:41,746
[Vic] Lee and Bate on the same page.

673
00:34:41,813 --> 00:34:44,582
Dyad trying to get back in.
We got a little stalemate.

674
00:34:44,649 --> 00:34:47,452
[crosstalk]

675
00:34:49,554 --> 00:34:51,923
[crowd cheers]

676
00:34:51,989 --> 00:34:53,057
[Vic] Wait.

677
00:34:54,192 --> 00:34:55,259
What the?

678
00:34:57,762 --> 00:34:59,197
Booker, that's Mustafa Ali.

679
00:34:59,263 --> 00:35:00,965
[Booker] I know who that is.

680
00:35:01,032 --> 00:35:04,035
[crowd chants, "Ali"]

681
00:35:09,107 --> 00:35:10,808
[Vic] What? Why?

682
00:35:10,875 --> 00:35:12,143
What…

683
00:35:13,778 --> 00:35:16,747
This matchup has come to a standstill.

684
00:35:18,416 --> 00:35:21,686
We've got to get some answers.
NXT continuing to roll on.

685
00:35:21,752 --> 00:35:22,820
What's going on?

686
00:35:22,887 --> 00:35:24,388
[Booker] I don't know, man.

687
00:35:27,225 --> 00:35:28,693
[Vic] We're back live on NXT.

688
00:35:28,759 --> 00:35:30,328
This tag team match rolling out

689
00:35:30,394 --> 00:35:32,663
between
the North American Champion Wes Lee,

690
00:35:32,730 --> 00:35:34,365
Tyler Bate, and The Dyad, Book.

691
00:35:34,432 --> 00:35:37,869
But before the commercial break,
we saw and we're now being joined--

692
00:35:37,935 --> 00:35:39,003
[Booker] Ali "the heart." Ali "the heart."

693
00:35:39,070 --> 00:35:40,438
-[Vic] Mustafa Ali what's going on?
-[Booker] Ali "the heart."

694
00:35:40,505 --> 00:35:43,040
[Booker] What's going on, Ali?
How are you doing?

695
00:35:43,107 --> 00:35:46,744
I've got to be honest, man.
It's good to have you here, but why?

696
00:35:46,811 --> 00:35:48,112
-Why are you here?
-[Booker] The hair is looking good, man.

697
00:35:48,179 --> 00:35:49,547
[Mustafa] Thank you, Book.

698
00:35:49,614 --> 00:35:51,716
[Booker] I like the beard.
What kind of product do you use, dawg?

699
00:35:51,782 --> 00:35:54,652
[Vic] I try fashion, I can't get
over there. I'm trying it right here.

700
00:35:54,719 --> 00:35:58,055
[Mustafa] Free agent Ali, baby.
Do you know what that means, Vic?

701
00:35:58,122 --> 00:36:00,324
That means
I could show up on Raw, SmackDown,

702
00:36:00,391 --> 00:36:01,926
or right here on NXT.

703
00:36:01,993 --> 00:36:03,728
I know you saw this weekend

704
00:36:03,794 --> 00:36:07,064
I was this close,
this close to becoming a champion, right?

705
00:36:07,131 --> 00:36:08,232
[Vic] You were.

706
00:36:08,299 --> 00:36:11,536
[Mustafa] Now, I'm obsessed with the idea
of becoming a champion.

707
00:36:11,602 --> 00:36:12,737
Obsessed.

708
00:36:12,803 --> 00:36:14,071
[Vic] That was a nice takedown
by Tyler Bate.

709
00:36:14,138 --> 00:36:16,307
To your point,
when we talk about champions,

710
00:36:16,374 --> 00:36:17,775
we're looking
at North American Champion Wes Lee

711
00:36:17,842 --> 00:36:18,976
in this match.

712
00:36:19,043 --> 00:36:22,246
He was able to regain his title
at Battleground this past Sunday.

713
00:36:22,313 --> 00:36:24,048
[Mustafa] Oh, I saw it. I saw it.

714
00:36:24,115 --> 00:36:27,518
What an amazing triple-threat match
and all the props in the world

715
00:36:27,585 --> 00:36:29,620
to the North American Champion, Wes Lee.

716
00:36:29,687 --> 00:36:31,422
He's the type of champion
that I wanna be, Vic.

717
00:36:31,489 --> 00:36:32,657
That I wanna be, Book.

718
00:36:32,723 --> 00:36:33,791
-I wanna be a fighting champion…
-[Booker] Is that what you're saying?

719
00:36:33,858 --> 00:36:34,959
…and a defending champion.

720
00:36:35,026 --> 00:36:37,094
You're putting the locker room on notice.

721
00:36:37,161 --> 00:36:39,130
[Mustafa] Raw, SmackDown, NXT.

722
00:36:39,197 --> 00:36:44,802
If there's a championship opportunity,
Mustafa Ali is gonna answer it.

723
00:36:44,869 --> 00:36:47,538
[Vic] Mustafa Ali shocking us all here,
but right now,

724
00:36:47,605 --> 00:36:51,008
Wes Lee not shocking us
with his counter after counter.

725
00:36:51,075 --> 00:36:53,344
-[Booker] Oh, wow.
-[Vic] Going to do a DDT.

726
00:36:53,411 --> 00:36:54,779
[Booker] Beautiful, Vic.

727
00:36:54,845 --> 00:36:55,947
[Vic] One step ahead,

728
00:36:56,013 --> 00:36:58,883
and look, Wes Lee right now taking
on The Dyad by himself.

729
00:36:58,950 --> 00:37:02,687
Of course, we see Ava, who's out there.
She's always ready to wreak havoc.

730
00:37:02,753 --> 00:37:03,854
Oh!

731
00:37:03,921 --> 00:37:05,923
Stomp legs to lower back.

732
00:37:05,990 --> 00:37:09,327
That raised your eyebrows, Ali,
at this action, fast and furious.

733
00:37:09,393 --> 00:37:11,696
[Mustafa] Wes Lee is a champion
for a reason.

734
00:37:11,762 --> 00:37:14,765
[Booker] Dynamic. Very dynamic.
Very dynamic.

735
00:37:14,832 --> 00:37:17,101
[Vic] Look at the Kardiac
taking extensions.

736
00:37:17,168 --> 00:37:19,203
Gets bogged down by Fowler.

737
00:37:19,270 --> 00:37:22,807
And look, this is what I was talking
about when it comes to The Dyad,

738
00:37:22,873 --> 00:37:25,943
the uncanny ability to find
and exploit a weakness

739
00:37:26,010 --> 00:37:28,079
when there isn't even one on the surface

740
00:37:28,145 --> 00:37:30,781
as Bate gets isolated,
and Ali, by himself.

741
00:37:30,848 --> 00:37:33,651
[Booker] You are right about one thing,
Vic, Ava Raine,

742
00:37:33,718 --> 00:37:36,187
she whispered it in my ear.

743
00:37:39,090 --> 00:37:41,826
[Vic] Will they gonna handle it?
Double cardiac kick.

744
00:37:41,892 --> 00:37:43,628
Say, "Oh, my God," again, Book.

745
00:37:43,694 --> 00:37:46,564
Because Wes Lee just turning
this match right around.

746
00:37:46,631 --> 00:37:47,698
Bate is tagged.

747
00:37:47,765 --> 00:37:49,667
-[Mustafa] Whoa, whoa, whoa.
-[Vic] Bate is now legal.

748
00:37:49,734 --> 00:37:52,403
[Mustafa] Let me see something.
Let me see something.

749
00:37:52,470 --> 00:37:55,740
[Vic] On the same page. Wow!

750
00:37:57,441 --> 00:37:58,976
[Booker] We have got a…

751
00:38:00,211 --> 00:38:04,649
[Vic] Whatever it was, it was impressive
as Lee wiping out Fowler.

752
00:38:04,715 --> 00:38:10,187
Oh, and that leaves Jagger Reid,
who gets hooked for the Tyler driver '97.

753
00:38:11,789 --> 00:38:14,292
[crowd counts]

754
00:38:14,358 --> 00:38:15,993
-[crowd cheers]
-[bell rings]

755
00:38:16,060 --> 00:38:17,194
["Born Animal" plays]

756
00:38:17,261 --> 00:38:20,131
[Alicia] Here are your winners,
the team of Tyler Bate

757
00:38:20,197 --> 00:38:24,201
and the NXT North American Champion
Wes Lee!

758
00:38:24,268 --> 00:38:25,703
[Vic] You like what you saw?

759
00:38:25,770 --> 00:38:27,772
[Mustafa] I do. I do. Very impressive.

760
00:38:30,808 --> 00:38:31,942
Whoa.

761
00:38:32,009 --> 00:38:36,747
[Vic] Ivy Nile annihilates Ava,
they have had issues for weeks

762
00:38:36,814 --> 00:38:39,350
for Ava sticking her nose
where it doesn't belong.

763
00:38:39,417 --> 00:38:40,818
There's The Creed Brothers.

764
00:38:42,753 --> 00:38:45,656
Oh, now, okay. I'm starting to break out.

765
00:38:45,723 --> 00:38:47,558
We might need more officials.

766
00:38:48,926 --> 00:38:50,594
[Booker] Man.

767
00:38:50,661 --> 00:38:51,862
[Vic] Brutus and Reid.

768
00:38:52,830 --> 00:38:53,931
[Referee] Let's go. Come on.
What are you doing?

769
00:38:53,998 --> 00:38:56,967
[Vic] These tensions have been boiling
for a while between--

770
00:38:57,034 --> 00:38:58,135
-[Mustafa] Whoa, whoa.
-[Vic] Wait a minute.

771
00:38:59,537 --> 00:39:01,372
-It's Joe Gacy.
-[Mustafa] Come on.

772
00:39:01,439 --> 00:39:04,308
[crowd cheers]

773
00:39:09,613 --> 00:39:12,616
[crowd chants, "Ali"]

774
00:39:28,366 --> 00:39:32,169
[Music] Ali couldn't stand by
and wait any longer.

775
00:39:35,806 --> 00:39:38,809
[crowd cheers]

776
00:39:40,377 --> 00:39:43,414
[Vic] Well, we keep talking
about champions and championships.

777
00:39:43,481 --> 00:39:47,184
It's time for the new Women's Champion
to take her place in the spotlight.

778
00:39:47,251 --> 00:39:49,453
It's time for Tiffybration next.

779
00:39:56,026 --> 00:39:57,695
Today, I'd like to focus

780
00:39:57,762 --> 00:40:00,598
on what not to do
when you hear that bell ring.

781
00:40:00,664 --> 00:40:05,302
And who better to use as an example
than Chase U's very own, Thea Hail?

782
00:40:06,871 --> 00:40:07,905
[Thea] What?

783
00:40:11,742 --> 00:40:13,210
As you can see,

784
00:40:13,277 --> 00:40:16,781
Thea's lack of grappling knowledge
puts her at severe disadvantage

785
00:40:16,847 --> 00:40:20,785
against every single opponent
she steps in the ring with.

786
00:40:29,527 --> 00:40:32,096
Everybody, so the name of the game
is Leverage.

787
00:40:32,163 --> 00:40:34,765
Okay? So, we're gonna do
a collar-and-elbow lockup.

788
00:40:34,832 --> 00:40:37,435
You ready, little man?
Let's see what you got.

789
00:40:37,501 --> 00:40:39,370
And pull him right in.

790
00:40:39,437 --> 00:40:41,338
Okay? You got a side headlock there.

791
00:40:43,574 --> 00:40:45,142
[Duke] Look, Thea,

792
00:40:45,209 --> 00:40:47,011
I'm all for you pushing yourself
for challenging yourself,

793
00:40:47,077 --> 00:40:49,613
but these guys made you cry last week.

794
00:40:49,680 --> 00:40:51,816
You know you don't have to do this class.

795
00:40:51,882 --> 00:40:53,250
I can just give you a pass.

796
00:40:53,317 --> 00:40:55,920
[Thea] No, Duke,
I have to do this for myself.

797
00:40:55,986 --> 00:40:59,757
I never wanna feel the way
that they made me feel last week.

798
00:40:59,824 --> 00:41:01,625
You know… You know what?

799
00:41:01,692 --> 00:41:03,260
They think I'm weak

800
00:41:03,327 --> 00:41:04,929
and I know I'm not.

801
00:41:04,995 --> 00:41:06,964
Hey, hey, hey, let me prove it to them.

802
00:41:07,031 --> 00:41:08,732
Let me show them that I can do…

803
00:41:08,799 --> 00:41:10,568
Duke, Duke, let me go!

804
00:41:10,634 --> 00:41:11,936
Let me go! Let me go!

805
00:41:12,002 --> 00:41:13,537
[Duke] Let me go.

806
00:41:13,604 --> 00:41:14,638
[Thea] Sorry.

807
00:41:16,207 --> 00:41:17,408
[Duke] Give them hell.

808
00:41:17,475 --> 00:41:18,809
[Thea] Hold this, hold this,
hold this, hold this.

809
00:41:18,876 --> 00:41:20,211
Okay, okay, okay.

810
00:41:20,277 --> 00:41:21,645
Yeah. Good.

811
00:41:21,712 --> 00:41:24,114
Submission wrestling
is the backbone of success.

812
00:41:24,181 --> 00:41:26,183
Now, beat it. Good job.

813
00:41:27,418 --> 00:41:30,754
Speaking of success,
look who decided to join us.

814
00:41:30,821 --> 00:41:32,823
So nice of you to make it this week.

815
00:41:32,890 --> 00:41:33,958
[Thea] Thank you.

816
00:41:34,024 --> 00:41:36,193
Thea, no crying this time.

817
00:41:36,260 --> 00:41:37,595
No running away.

818
00:41:37,661 --> 00:41:39,029
You understand that, kid?

819
00:41:39,096 --> 00:41:41,632
[Thea] Hear you loud and clear, sir.
I can do this.

820
00:41:41,699 --> 00:41:43,200
Hm.

821
00:41:43,267 --> 00:41:45,169
All right. Everybody down.

822
00:41:46,370 --> 00:41:47,404
Let's see it.

823
00:41:51,108 --> 00:41:55,012
[Vic] Now, Thea Hail can do anything
she puts her mind to,

824
00:41:55,079 --> 00:41:58,415
but now it is time
for The Center of the Universe

825
00:41:58,482 --> 00:42:00,351
up to celebrate herself.

826
00:42:00,417 --> 00:42:06,357
[Booker] Oh, yeah!

827
00:42:06,423 --> 00:42:08,959
["Keep Up" plays]

828
00:42:09,026 --> 00:42:12,029
[crowd cheers]

829
00:42:24,675 --> 00:42:26,243
[Alicia] Please welcome

830
00:42:26,310 --> 00:42:32,116
your new NXT Women's Champion…

831
00:42:33,183 --> 00:42:36,587
Tiffany Stratton!

832
00:42:36,654 --> 00:42:39,323
[Vic] Eight superstars were selected
by Shawn Michaels

833
00:42:39,390 --> 00:42:41,091
and the Performance Center coaches

834
00:42:41,158 --> 00:42:43,460
for the
NXT Women's Championship tournament.

835
00:42:43,527 --> 00:42:48,132
Of those eight, Tiffany Stratton
is the one left standing

836
00:42:48,198 --> 00:42:51,702
crowning herself Women's Champion
this past Sunday at Battleground.

837
00:42:51,769 --> 00:42:54,905
[Booker] Vic… Vic, come on.
You know what they want to hear?

838
00:42:54,972 --> 00:42:57,241
This is it, man. This is it.

839
00:42:57,308 --> 00:42:59,710
That Shucky Ducky
"Quack Quack" moment, man.

840
00:42:59,777 --> 00:43:04,048
Get your champagne wishes
and caviar dreams, man!

841
00:43:04,114 --> 00:43:07,251
Give me a hot cup of biscotti, man!

842
00:43:07,318 --> 00:43:09,920
[Tiffany] Raise your hand
if you are not surprised

843
00:43:09,987 --> 00:43:14,925
that Tiffany Stratton
is the new NXT Women's Champion.

844
00:43:14,992 --> 00:43:16,794
[crowd cheers]

845
00:43:16,860 --> 00:43:18,629
[Tiffany] I know I'm not.

846
00:43:18,696 --> 00:43:19,797
This past Sunday,

847
00:43:19,863 --> 00:43:22,600
The Center of the Universe
claimed her rightful spot

848
00:43:22,666 --> 00:43:25,336
at the tippy top of NXT.

849
00:43:25,402 --> 00:43:27,404
[crowd cheers]

850
00:43:29,106 --> 00:43:32,609
[Tiffany] This title has been held
by future Hall of Famers,

851
00:43:32,676 --> 00:43:37,748
Charlotte Flair, Asuka,
Bayley, Rhea Ripley.

852
00:43:37,815 --> 00:43:39,450
The list goes on.

853
00:43:39,516 --> 00:43:41,919
And tonight…

854
00:43:43,187 --> 00:43:48,092
I'm gonna show everybody
what it means to be a true champion.

855
00:43:48,158 --> 00:43:51,161
[crowd cheers]

856
00:43:53,297 --> 00:43:55,733
[Tiffany] And honestly,

857
00:43:55,799 --> 00:43:58,636
when I think
of what a champion is, it is me.

858
00:44:01,705 --> 00:44:06,477
Nobody in that locker room can do
what I can do.

859
00:44:07,611 --> 00:44:10,347
And when I look in the mirror,

860
00:44:10,414 --> 00:44:15,953
I think to myself, "I am the epitome
of what a true WWE superstar is."

861
00:44:18,288 --> 00:44:21,759
So, to continue on, on my Tiffybration,

862
00:44:21,825 --> 00:44:26,196
I would like to invite out
the entire NXT women's locker room

863
00:44:26,263 --> 00:44:29,833
so, they can all recognize me
as their champion.

864
00:44:29,900 --> 00:44:30,968
Ladies.

865
00:44:36,840 --> 00:44:42,012
Okay, I guess nobody wants to know
who my first opponent's gonna be.

866
00:44:42,079 --> 00:44:43,614
Do you guys wanna know?

867
00:44:43,681 --> 00:44:45,382
[crowd shouts]

868
00:44:45,449 --> 00:44:48,819
[Tiffany] Aw! You guys think
that I care what you think.

869
00:44:51,155 --> 00:44:52,956
Oh, come on out, ladies.

870
00:44:53,023 --> 00:44:54,391
Come on out.

871
00:44:54,458 --> 00:44:55,492
Aw.

872
00:44:57,027 --> 00:45:00,998
You guys look so cute.
Look at your cute little faces.

873
00:45:01,065 --> 00:45:02,099
Aw.

874
00:45:03,400 --> 00:45:06,904
I know you are all starstruck

875
00:45:06,970 --> 00:45:10,541
and I'm sure
you all have the same question for me,

876
00:45:10,607 --> 00:45:13,477
"What is next for Tiffany Stratton?

877
00:45:13,544 --> 00:45:17,648
Who will I give
my first title defense to?"

878
00:45:17,714 --> 00:45:19,850
And to be honest…

879
00:45:20,918 --> 00:45:24,188
as everyone is out here,
I can't think to myself

880
00:45:24,254 --> 00:45:29,793
that I'm gonna be champion
for a long, long time.

881
00:45:29,860 --> 00:45:33,964
I mean…
I might as well just retire as champion.

882
00:45:35,632 --> 00:45:37,935
Nobody can sit with me.

883
00:45:38,001 --> 00:45:40,471
Not you. Not you.

884
00:45:40,537 --> 00:45:46,276
And, I don't even know why you're out here
and most certainly not you.

885
00:45:46,343 --> 00:45:48,112
Sorry, not sorry.

886
00:45:49,546 --> 00:45:51,215
Oh.

887
00:45:51,281 --> 00:45:53,851
This is so awkward.

888
00:45:53,917 --> 00:45:57,020
I mean, I invited you all out here.

889
00:45:57,087 --> 00:45:58,522
Just kidding.

890
00:45:58,589 --> 00:46:02,593
Luckily for you guys
on my way back home from Battleground,

891
00:46:02,659 --> 00:46:07,598
I had a Tiffany epiphany,
and don't worry, it was approved.

892
00:46:07,664 --> 00:46:09,566
I thought to myself,

893
00:46:09,633 --> 00:46:14,138
"Why don't I give them all an opportunity
at my Tiffy title?"

894
00:46:15,205 --> 00:46:16,573
So, next week

895
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:19,643
there will be
a number one contender's Battle Royal

896
00:46:19,710 --> 00:46:22,379
to determine
who my first opponent's gonna be.

897
00:46:23,814 --> 00:46:25,349
Good for you, ladies.

898
00:46:26,483 --> 00:46:29,987
To be H, it doesn't matter who's gonna win

899
00:46:30,053 --> 00:46:33,490
because I'm gonna beat all of you to it.

900
00:46:38,028 --> 00:46:43,100
I am gonna beat all of you to it
because for as far as I know

901
00:46:43,167 --> 00:46:45,969
and for as long as I want…

902
00:46:47,271 --> 00:46:49,373
it is Tiffy time.

903
00:46:49,439 --> 00:46:51,475
["Keep Up" plays]

904
00:46:51,542 --> 00:46:52,709
[Vic] Oh, God.

905
00:46:54,077 --> 00:46:56,914
[Booker] Oh, yes!

906
00:46:56,980 --> 00:46:58,949
Look at the… Look at the confetti.

907
00:46:59,016 --> 00:47:00,384
[Vic] Whoa, well, look at--

908
00:47:00,450 --> 00:47:02,419
-[Booker] Look at the confetti.
-[Vic] Look at Thea Hail.

909
00:47:02,486 --> 00:47:04,688
[Booker] What the? What the hell?

910
00:47:07,825 --> 00:47:10,227
[Vic] Well, maybe Stratton
will think twice

911
00:47:10,294 --> 00:47:13,497
before talking down
to the women's division.

912
00:47:14,698 --> 00:47:15,799
Oh!

913
00:47:15,866 --> 00:47:16,934

916
00:47:26,510 --> 00:47:28,812
[Tiffany] This was supposed
to be my moment.

917
00:47:28,879 --> 00:47:30,180
My moment.

918
00:47:32,349 --> 00:47:35,385
-[Trick] Well, check this out.
-[Tiffany] I hate all of you.

919
00:47:35,452 --> 00:47:37,621
[Trick] Melo is defending
his title tonight.

920
00:47:37,688 --> 00:47:40,023
Don't worry about him.
He's gonna be all right.

921
00:47:40,090 --> 00:47:42,359
Yeah. Yeah.
We pulling up on you afterwards.

922
00:47:42,426 --> 00:47:45,629
Just keep the bottles on the ice
and keep that hot tub half full.

923
00:47:45,696 --> 00:47:47,998
Yeah. All right.
I'm going to see you later.

924
00:47:48,065 --> 00:47:51,101
[Lash] Well, well, well,
I heard they call you Trick Willy.

925
00:47:51,168 --> 00:47:53,503
[Trick] [laughs] Oh, you heard that right.

926
00:47:53,570 --> 00:47:55,172
[Jakara] Hey, your boy Melo
is about to get whooped tonight by Noam.

928
00:47:56,340 --> 00:47:59,343
[Jakara] Hey, Lash, it's a shame though
they're kind of cute.

929
00:47:59,409 --> 00:48:00,577
-[Trick] Kind of?
-[Lash] They're all right.

930
00:48:00,644 --> 00:48:01,745
[Trick] Let me tell you something,

931
00:48:01,812 --> 00:48:04,014
we may agree to disagree
on the whole match,

932
00:48:04,081 --> 00:48:08,018
but in the look department
Trick Melo don't miss.

933
00:48:08,085 --> 00:48:11,722
I ain't buying nothing that y'all selling,
so y'all can leave.

934
00:48:11,788 --> 00:48:14,791
Burn your lips, move your hips.
I'll holla.

-Got to go. Got to go.
-[Oro] Hey. I beg, I beg.

936
00:48:16,126 --> 00:48:17,961
Trick, I think you should understand

937
00:48:18,028 --> 00:48:20,197
what the two ladies are trying
to tell you.

938
00:48:20,264 --> 00:48:22,666
Your guy, Melo,
should have taken the night off.

939
00:48:22,733 --> 00:48:23,834
Hey?

940
00:48:23,901 --> 00:48:25,402
[Trick] Oro Mensah,

941
00:48:25,469 --> 00:48:27,604
I saw Noam's match, you was in his corner.

942
00:48:27,671 --> 00:48:30,707
That was your plan the whole time, huh?
You a shyster, huh?

943
00:48:30,774 --> 00:48:33,477
You, Ms. Jackson, the distraction?

944
00:48:33,543 --> 00:48:35,579
[Jakara] About that actually more like.

945
00:48:35,646 --> 00:48:38,048
[Trick] Look at you,
you're distracting yourself.

946
00:48:38,115 --> 00:48:39,216
[Lash] You know it.

947
00:48:39,283 --> 00:48:40,384
[Trick] Bet you wanna hit me
with your bucket punch.

00:48:40,450 --> 00:48:41,551
-[Lash] Bucket?
-[Trick] Yeah.

-[Lash] You'd like that, wouldn't you?
-[Trick] No. You'd like that.

tonight.

you learn more after a loss anyway.

1007
00:52:00,283 --> 00:52:03,053
-[Edris] That's true.
-[Damon] [claps] Hey, yo, Thorpe!

1008
00:52:03,120 --> 00:52:05,655
So, I watched your match,
and to be honest, man,

1009
00:52:05,722 --> 00:52:07,090
I was pretty impressed,

1010
00:52:07,157 --> 00:52:09,759
but I guess you can't win
without cheating, huh?

1011
00:52:09,826 --> 00:52:11,695
-[laughs]
-[crosstalk]

1012
00:52:11,761 --> 00:52:15,665
[Edris] Don't even worry about it.
Don't even worry about it. Back up, bro.

1013
00:52:15,732 --> 00:52:18,768
[Vic] When you talk about a wet blanket,
that is Damon Kemp,

1014
00:52:18,835 --> 00:52:21,037
and he might have
to eat his words next week

1015
00:52:21,104 --> 00:52:25,041
because he will go one-on-one once again
as he faces Eddy Thorpe.

1016
00:52:25,108 --> 00:52:28,011
That's going down next week, live,
here on NXT.

1017
00:52:30,981 --> 00:52:33,984

1019
00:52:48,265 --> 00:52:51,134
[Alicia] The following contest
is scheduled for one fall.

1020
00:52:51,201 --> 00:52:56,973
Introducing first, representing Gallus,
Joe Coffey!

1021
00:52:57,040 --> 00:53:00,911
You may notice, the rest of Gallus
not around Joe Coffey

1022
00:53:00,977 --> 00:53:05,315
because earlier tonight
Mark Coffey and Wolfgang

1023
00:53:05,382 --> 00:53:09,352
were kicked out of the building
here in NXT

1024
00:53:09,419 --> 00:53:12,189
after a three-on-one assault of Stacks.

1025
00:53:12,255 --> 00:53:14,758
[Booker] Look at this man.
You think that matters?

1026
00:53:14,824 --> 00:53:17,027
This is Joe Coffey, Vic.

1027
00:53:17,093 --> 00:53:20,797
Good to the last drop, brother.

1028
00:53:20,864 --> 00:53:23,466
[Vic] He is on his own here tonight.

["Strictly Business" plays]

[Vic] And Lorenzo making a beeline.

1033
00:53:44,621 --> 00:53:48,158
Maybe not 100%, but you got to credit
the heart of Stacks.

1034
00:53:48,225 --> 00:53:50,493
He is the true definition of loyal.

1035
00:53:50,560 --> 00:53:51,595
-[Booker] Loyalty, loyalty, loyalty.
-[bell rings]

1036
00:53:51,661 --> 00:53:52,729
[Vic] Whoa!

1037
00:53:52,796 --> 00:53:53,863
[Booker] That's what Stacks is,

1038
00:53:53,930 --> 00:53:56,132
and right now
he's gunning for a fight, Vic.

1039
00:53:56,199 --> 00:53:57,534
He's gunning for a fight.

1040
00:53:59,469 --> 00:54:01,771
[Vic] You can say that again.
Oh, right back to the body.

1041
00:54:01,838 --> 00:54:03,940
And again, not 100%
because there it was earlier tonight,

1042
00:54:04,007 --> 00:54:05,141
Stacks met with Gallus.

1043
00:54:05,208 --> 00:54:06,843
[Booker] Oh, beautiful takedown.

1044
00:54:06,910 --> 00:54:08,011
[Vic] That was a nice takedown,
but right now…

1045
00:54:08,078 --> 00:54:09,179
[Booker] Beautiful.

1046
00:54:09,245 --> 00:54:13,216
[Vic] …Stacks is fighting for The Don,
he's fighting for the D'Angelo family.

1047
00:54:13,283 --> 00:54:15,018
And it sounded like Stacks
was on to something

1048
00:54:15,085 --> 00:54:18,254
when we heard that Gallus was the one
who ratted out The Don.

1049
00:54:18,321 --> 00:54:19,422
[Booker] I get it.

1050
00:54:19,489 --> 00:54:22,092
I mean, Stacks,
he's been proving his loyalties

1051
00:54:22,158 --> 00:54:23,893
since he was a little, little boy.

1052
00:54:23,960 --> 00:54:25,095
[Vic] Nice.

1053
00:54:25,161 --> 00:54:27,597
-[Booker] You know, taking care of Tony D.
-[Vic] Into the cover, hook of the leg.

1054
00:54:27,664 --> 00:54:31,268
[Booker] Oh, whoa, but sometimes you got
to look out for yourself, Vic.

1055
00:54:31,334 --> 00:54:33,570
Sometimes you got to take care
of your own.

1056
00:54:33,637 --> 00:54:34,871
[Vic] Well, still to come tonight,

1057
00:54:34,938 --> 00:54:39,042
the NXT Championship is on the line
for the second time in as many days.

1058
00:54:39,109 --> 00:54:42,545
Carmelo Hayes will defend the gold
against the Heritage Cup Champion,

1059
00:54:42,612 --> 00:54:43,680
that being Noam Dar.

1060
00:54:43,747 --> 00:54:46,583
And also still to come tonight,
after an altercation…

1061
00:54:46,650 --> 00:54:47,717
Cover and a kick out.

1062
00:54:47,784 --> 00:54:50,453
Earlier tonight,
Cora Jade one-on-one with Ivy Nile.

1063
00:54:50,520 --> 00:54:51,821
Again, shoulders down,
referee in great position.

1064
00:54:51,888 --> 00:54:52,956
But look at Stacks.

1065
00:54:53,023 --> 00:54:54,524
Now, he gets rolled up, shoulders down.

1066
00:54:54,591 --> 00:54:55,659
Able to roll back through.

1067
00:54:55,725 --> 00:54:58,194
[Booker] I like this matchup here,
The Underboss,

1068
00:54:58,261 --> 00:55:01,665
and look at Joe Coffey like
he's the enforcer for them Gallus boys.

1069
00:55:01,731 --> 00:55:04,467
So, this is gonna be a hell
of a matchup here, Vic.

1070
00:55:04,534 --> 00:55:06,703
[Vic] You talk about being the underboss--

1071
00:55:06,770 --> 00:55:09,939
[Booker] Whoa, big high hip block there.
Beautiful technique.

1072
00:55:10,006 --> 00:55:13,276
[Vic] Lorenzo "The Underboss"
really has had the load, you know,

1073
00:55:13,343 --> 00:55:16,079
put back on his shoulders,
the workload, so to speak.

1074
00:55:16,146 --> 00:55:17,347
He's had to pick it up for the family,

1075
00:55:17,414 --> 00:55:18,515
handle all the business
with The Don being away.

1076
00:55:18,581 --> 00:55:22,085
[Booker] Look, man. Look, look, look.
The Don is locked up, man.

1077
00:55:22,152 --> 00:55:25,522
Right now he's in solitary confinement.

1078
00:55:25,588 --> 00:55:30,327
He needs to try to get a bud or something,
but right now we can't think about that.

1079
00:55:30,393 --> 00:55:34,564
[Vic] All we're thinking about right now
is Joe Coffey taking it right to Stacks.

1080
00:55:34,631 --> 00:55:37,767
Elbow drop, cover, and a kick out.
You got to say Joe Coffey--

1081
00:55:37,834 --> 00:55:39,736
[Booker] Wait, wait, you know…in

1082
00:55:39,803 --> 00:55:41,538
-[Vic] What?
-[Booker] Yeah, yeah.

1083
00:55:41,604 --> 00:55:45,075
[Vic] I do. I'm hoping he doesn't use
the evil here in NXT.

1084
00:55:45,141 --> 00:55:47,610
[Booker] Exactly. Exactly, he's taken for.
He might get a life sentence.

1085
00:55:47,677 --> 00:55:49,279
[Vic] I wanna talk about poking
the bear a little bit,

1086
00:55:49,346 --> 00:55:52,949
because that is what Joe Coffey
did earlier today.

1087
00:55:53,016 --> 00:55:56,820
Poking the bear, said that Tony
and Stacks get a tag team opportunity,

1088
00:55:56,886 --> 00:55:59,456
but Tony can't fight
when he's behind bars.

1089
00:55:59,522 --> 00:56:00,690
[Booker] You know what, that's true.

1090
00:56:00,757 --> 00:56:04,027
I mean, how many jailbirds
do you know, Vic?

1091
00:56:04,094 --> 00:56:06,396
You know what they say
about jailbirds, right?

1092
00:56:06,463 --> 00:56:09,232
They can't fly. Their wings are clipped.

1093
00:56:09,299 --> 00:56:13,670
Right now Tony D is down,
and this man, this man, Stacks,

1094
00:56:13,737 --> 00:56:17,707
he needs to come out here and take care
of business for the family, man.

1095
00:56:17,774 --> 00:56:19,909
[Vic] That's what he's trying to do.
And Stacks back on top.

1096
00:56:19,976 --> 00:56:21,177
Into another cover,
another hook of the leg,

1097
00:56:21,244 --> 00:56:23,546
and Coffey able to kick out at two.

1098
00:56:23,613 --> 00:56:26,249
Look, when it comes to Gallus,
what we have learned,

1099
00:56:26,316 --> 00:56:30,019
they're never going to turn down a fight,
never going to turn down a…

1100
00:56:30,086 --> 00:56:33,390
Good scrap.
There's a big slam from Joe Coffey.

1101
00:56:33,456 --> 00:56:35,925
[Booker] Whenever I think
about the Gallus boys,

1102
00:56:35,992 --> 00:56:37,727
I think of that European style.

1103
00:56:37,794 --> 00:56:39,329
They ground and pound.

1104
00:56:39,395 --> 00:56:42,465
Those brawling tactics
always come into play.

1105
00:56:42,532 --> 00:56:43,733
-Whoa!
-[Vic] Whoa!

1106
00:56:43,800 --> 00:56:46,603
Well, as you mentioned,
Stacks fighting for his family

1107
00:56:46,669 --> 00:56:48,271
with his back against the wall.

1108
00:56:48,338 --> 00:56:51,708
Stacks laying it all
on the line here tonight,

1109
00:56:51,775 --> 00:56:53,476
going one-on-one with Joe Coffey.

1110
00:56:53,543 --> 00:56:56,446
-This action getting hot and heavy.
-[Booker] Whoa, yes.

1111
00:56:58,548 --> 00:57:01,050
[Vic] We're back live on NXT.
Shoulders are down.

1112
00:57:01,117 --> 00:57:03,887
He's able to shift his weight
with Stacks for a moment.

1113
00:57:03,953 --> 00:57:09,092
But Joe Coffey is squeezing the will
out of Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo.

1114
00:57:09,159 --> 00:57:12,829
Let's go back to the action
during the commercial break.

1115
00:57:12,896 --> 00:57:14,531
Did you hear the snap?

1116
00:57:14,597 --> 00:57:19,502
And then listen to Joe Coffey
afterwards call Stacks a rat.

1117
00:57:19,569 --> 00:57:22,238
And again, shoulders are down,
and another kick out.

1118
00:57:22,305 --> 00:57:24,407
And now Stacks back on time.

1119
00:57:24,474 --> 00:57:27,610
Though trending number one
in the United States, NXT,

1120
00:57:27,677 --> 00:57:29,045
and what a night it's been.

1121
00:57:29,112 --> 00:57:32,449
Huge NXT Championship match
still to come, we found out tonight.

1122
00:57:32,515 --> 00:57:34,884
Big battle royal next week
to determine the number one contender

1123
00:57:34,951 --> 00:57:36,453
to Tiffany Stratton's title.

1124
00:57:36,519 --> 00:57:40,957
And Mustafa Ali shocked us all, Booker,
coming out here this evening.

1125
00:57:41,024 --> 00:57:42,258
-Oh!
-[Booker] Oh!

1126
00:57:42,325 --> 00:57:43,493
Man!

1127
00:57:43,560 --> 00:57:46,329
-Wow, did you see that?
-[Vic] Coffey into the cover.

1128
00:57:46,396 --> 00:57:50,767
Is that gonna be enough,
and somehow Stacks able to kick.

1129
00:57:50,834 --> 00:57:53,403
We've said nasty landing a couple
of times tonight,

1130
00:57:53,470 --> 00:57:54,537
that was a true nasty landing.

1131
00:57:54,604 --> 00:57:55,772
Oh, my goodness.

1132
00:57:55,839 --> 00:57:58,608
[Booker] I tell you,
going back to calling Stacks a rat,

1133
00:57:58,675 --> 00:58:02,412
that's something you don't wanna call
a man like one "Stacks" Lorenzo,

1134
00:58:02,479 --> 00:58:06,549
because that snitches get stitches
in the neighborhood man.

1135
00:58:06,616 --> 00:58:07,717
[Vic] That's what he said earlier,

1136
00:58:07,784 --> 00:58:10,520
that being Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo
to Joe Coffey.

1137
00:58:10,587 --> 00:58:14,424
And we've seen the temper
get the better of Coffey in the past.

1138
00:58:15,391 --> 00:58:18,127
And we have seen him
unleash some heavy artillery

1139
00:58:18,194 --> 00:58:21,231
in this match, but Lorenzo continues
to get to his feet,

1140
00:58:21,297 --> 00:58:24,334
continues to swing at anything that moves,

1141
00:58:24,400 --> 00:58:27,604
continues to fight for The Don
and the D'Angelo family,

1142
00:58:27,670 --> 00:58:30,540
as The Underboss starting
to pick up some steam, Book.

1143
00:58:30,607 --> 00:58:34,043
[Booker] He's a fighter, Vic.
He's from the neighborhood.

1144
00:58:36,513 --> 00:58:39,282
[Vic] Big uppercut. Coffey rocked.

1145
00:58:39,349 --> 00:58:42,986
It's that moment now
for Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo.

1146
00:58:43,052 --> 00:58:46,589
Big neckbreaker, into a cover,
hook of the leg,

1147
00:58:46,656 --> 00:58:48,725
and Coffey just able to kick out.

1148
00:58:48,791 --> 00:58:51,127
I don't know if The Don's got television,

1149
00:58:51,194 --> 00:58:53,162
I don't know,
if he has those rights at this moment,

1150
00:58:53,229 --> 00:58:54,397
I don't know if he's watching this,

1151
00:58:54,464 --> 00:58:57,033
but if he is, he's got to have a smile
on his face

1152
00:58:57,100 --> 00:58:58,968
to see his underboss going to work.

1153
00:58:59,035 --> 00:59:02,171
[Booker] They don't have cable
in prison, Vic.

1154
00:59:02,238 --> 00:59:04,707
[Vic] Big uppercut,
followed up with a bam,

1155
00:59:04,774 --> 00:59:08,511
a nasty neck breaker,
and almost got Stacks the victory.

1156
00:59:08,578 --> 00:59:11,114
But what's Joe Coffey thinking right now?

1157
00:59:11,180 --> 00:59:13,483
-Oh, belly to belly.
-[Booker] Oh, yes!

1158
00:59:13,549 --> 00:59:17,787
Talking about a man
that handles himself very well, Vic.

1159
00:59:17,854 --> 00:59:20,056
-There it is.
-[Vic] Into the cover.

1160
00:59:20,123 --> 00:59:21,291
[Booker] Oh!

1161
00:59:21,357 --> 00:59:24,761
[Vic] Lorenzo just able to get
the right shoulder off the mat,

1162
00:59:24,827 --> 00:59:26,329
breathing heavy.

1163
00:59:26,396 --> 00:59:28,364
[Booker] You got to give it up
for this man, Joe Coffey, man.

1164
00:59:28,431 --> 00:59:31,901
If there's a word to describe
this young man it would be tenacious,

1165
00:59:31,968 --> 00:59:35,705
because right now he's just been grinding
"Stacks" Lorenzo, man.

1166
00:59:35,772 --> 00:59:37,407
[Vic] You got to give credit
to Lorenzo too, who continues…

1167
00:59:37,473 --> 00:59:39,275
-[Booker] Whoa!
-[Vic] …to battle in this matchup.

1168
00:59:39,342 --> 00:59:41,444
[Booker] Big back body drop.

1169
00:59:41,511 --> 00:59:43,947
[Vic] And now,
coming right back in, and… Oh!

1170
00:59:44,948 --> 00:59:47,951
Well, it's not often you see
someone's momentum carry them

1171
00:59:48,017 --> 00:59:49,819
over the top rope on a clothesline.

1172
00:59:49,886 --> 00:59:52,422
Coffey, though, falls out.

1173
00:59:52,488 --> 00:59:56,392
These two have been hitting each other
with everything

1174
00:59:56,459 --> 00:59:57,994
they've got in their arsenal.

1175
00:59:58,061 --> 01:00:01,598
[Booker] Stacks went for it right there,
and I tell you, I don't know

1176
01:00:01,664 --> 01:00:05,201
if it was a mistake or not,
but the adrenaline is still flowing, Vic!

1177
01:00:05,268 --> 01:00:07,737
[Vic] Adrenaline will make
a man do crazy things,

1178
01:00:07,804 --> 01:00:10,273
as the referee continuing that count.

1179
01:00:10,340 --> 01:00:11,908
It's getting very close.

1180
01:00:11,975 --> 01:00:13,576
But… Oh, no!

1181
01:00:13,643 --> 01:00:15,678
[Booker] Oh, no.

1182
01:00:20,683 --> 01:00:22,819
[Vic] Somehow Lorenzo back to his feet.

1183
01:00:24,387 --> 01:00:26,089
Glasgow send off.

1184
01:00:26,155 --> 01:00:28,024
[Booker] Wow!

1185
01:00:28,091 --> 01:00:31,427
[Vic] And now Joe Coffey,
all the best for the bells.

1186
01:00:32,829 --> 01:00:36,165
Just rang the clock
of Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo.

[Alicia] Here is your winner, Joe Coffey!

1190
01:00:44,173 --> 01:00:46,976
[Vic] We knew
there was gonna be bad blood, Booker,

1191
01:00:47,043 --> 01:00:48,745
after what we saw earlier tonight,

1192
01:00:48,811 --> 01:00:53,516
after what took place last week,
after everything going on with the family.

1193
01:00:53,583 --> 01:00:56,119
These two brought it here tonight.

1194
01:00:56,185 --> 01:00:58,521
Maybe the turning point,
but listen to this.

1195
01:00:59,989 --> 01:01:02,425
Shoulder first went Stacks,

1196
01:01:02,492 --> 01:01:07,864
and that's the door Joe Coffey needed
to knock this match wide open

1197
01:01:07,930 --> 01:01:09,599
and then basically knock out

1198
01:01:09,665 --> 01:01:13,669
Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo
with all the best for the bells.

[Vic] And I'm sure the rest of Gallus
already at the bar throwing down a pint.

[Joe] Do you know what,

Don't ever.

Don't ever.

[Robert] Von!
Von, what the hell was that, man?

1205
01:01:29,619 --> 01:01:31,020
[Von] What the hell is what?

1206
01:01:31,087 --> 01:01:33,790
Look, Luca deserves everything
he just got handed to,

including me putting his ass
through that table.

[Robert] It's not about the table, Von.
You got disqualified.

1209
01:01:39,529 --> 01:01:42,331
Okay. You wanna get suspended?
You wanna get fined?

Your free agent status?

1211
01:01:43,666 --> 01:01:46,469
You can kiss a goodbye
if you're going to act like this.

1212
01:01:46,536 --> 01:01:47,703
[Von] Look, Luca,

1213
01:01:47,770 --> 01:01:50,840
he's been running his mouth
for the past two weeks on me,

1214
01:01:50,907 --> 01:01:53,509
on you, and I finally just shut it.

1215
01:01:55,078 --> 01:01:57,847
[Robert] Don't take what I'm about
to say the wrong way.

1216
01:01:57,914 --> 01:01:58,981
Okay.

1217
01:01:59,048 --> 01:02:00,783
But whatever went on in your past,

1218
01:02:00,850 --> 01:02:04,420
you have some serious
anger management issues.

1219
01:02:04,487 --> 01:02:06,622
And if you're not gonna listen to me,

1220
01:02:06,689 --> 01:02:10,560
I think it's time that you talk
to a therapist.

1221
01:02:10,626 --> 01:02:12,295
[Von] A therapist?

1222
01:02:12,361 --> 01:02:14,363
What the hell is that gonna do for me?

1223
01:02:14,430 --> 01:02:16,866
What, so they can just take
my hard-earned money?

1224
01:02:16,933 --> 01:02:20,369
[Robert] Look, dude, I got it,
I'll take care of the money.

1225
01:02:20,436 --> 01:02:22,705
Please, I'm asking you to do this for me.

1226
01:02:30,079 --> 01:02:31,481
[Von] I'll think about it.

1227
01:02:33,382 --> 01:02:36,786
[Vic] You see the intensity in Von Wagner
after his match last week,

1228
01:02:36,853 --> 01:02:38,855
but for what he just said to Mr. Stone,

1229
01:02:38,921 --> 01:02:42,058
that is a huge step forward
for Von Wagner.

1230
01:02:42,125 --> 01:02:43,926
But right now we don't want
to talk about last week,

1231
01:02:43,993 --> 01:02:46,763
we wanna talk about
what happened this past Sunday

1232
01:02:46,829 --> 01:02:51,300
at NXT Battleground and see
it through the eyes of Ilja Dragunov.

[Ilja] Is it the pain…

1237

that keeps searching for me
or am I the one who searches for pain?

1238

Or maybe…

1239
01:03:42,385 --> 01:03:43,686
I am the pain.

In the end, it doesn't matter

to win this matchup

1245
01:04:06,475 --> 01:04:08,544
is to incapacitate your opponent

1246
01:04:08,611 --> 01:04:11,581
so, they cannot reach their feet
by the count of 10.

1247

[Booker] Anything goes
in a matchup like this.

It's about pain, mayhem, destruction.

Somebody's gonna get hurt.

about the test of human will.

the hell out of each other, Vic.

1252
01:04:24,460 --> 01:04:27,697
[Vic] These are a different breed
of human here at Battleground.

the kiss of death from Dragunov.

and what we saw earlier tonight,

she has had issues with those
that want everything handed to them

to make an excuse.

bad little sister, Vic.

1329
01:08:09,952 --> 01:08:12,955
'cause Ivy Nile taking
it to Jade at this moment.

1330
01:08:13,022 --> 01:08:15,357
[Booker] 'Cause that means right there,
she's got her eyes on the prize.

1331
01:08:15,424 --> 01:08:19,161
She's not about getting, you know,
yanked or stole on tonight, Vic.

1332
01:08:19,228 --> 01:08:20,963
-That means jumped from behind.
-[Vic] Ouch!

1333
01:08:21,030 --> 01:08:22,565
Well, speaking to get jumped from behind,

1334
01:08:22,631 --> 01:08:25,801
Cora Jade just ripped down Ivy Nile…

1335
01:08:25,868 --> 01:08:27,670
-[Booker] Yes!
-[Vic] …by her hair.

1336
01:08:27,736 --> 01:08:28,838
[Booker] Well, like I said, she's bad.

1337
01:08:28,904 --> 01:08:30,072
[Vic] Take another look at this, Book.

1338
01:08:30,139 --> 01:08:31,273
Boom!

1339
01:08:31,340 --> 01:08:34,710
[Booker] It's about winning, Vic,
by any means necessary.

1340
01:08:34,777 --> 01:08:35,911
-[Vic] Looking for a win right now…
-[Booker] Here we go.

1341
01:08:35,978 --> 01:08:37,146
[Vic] …is Jade, and a near fall.

1342
01:08:37,213 --> 01:08:39,014
Nile able to power out.

1343
01:08:39,081 --> 01:08:41,350
I mean, these two couldn't be more

1344
01:08:41,417 --> 01:08:42,818
different in the way
their in-ring styles…

1345
01:08:42,885 --> 01:08:43,953
[Booker] Wait, wait, wait,
wait a minute, wait a minute, Vic.

1346
01:08:44,019 --> 01:08:45,688
…and how they carry themselves.

1347
01:08:45,754 --> 01:08:46,922
Back up. What do you mean by that?

1348
01:08:46,989 --> 01:08:48,057
[Vic] What do you mean,
"what do you mean"?

1349
01:08:48,124 --> 01:08:51,060
I mean, for starters,
you see Cora Jade, she's in control,

1350
01:08:51,126 --> 01:08:53,295
but all we heard from her lately, whining.

1351
01:08:53,362 --> 01:08:56,432
She's been complaining, making excuses.
That's not Ivy Nile.

1352
01:08:56,499 --> 01:08:57,700
[Booker] Wait a minute.

1353
01:08:57,766 --> 01:08:59,902
Do you see this young lady, Cora Jade,

1354
01:08:59,969 --> 01:09:03,572
in the middle of this ring competing
right now at the highest?

1355
01:09:03,639 --> 01:09:06,075
Do you see her running
back to the locker room?

1356
01:09:06,142 --> 01:09:09,411
No. She's in the middle of this.
What are you talking about, man?

1357
01:09:09,478 --> 01:09:10,679
[Vic] You know exactly
what I'm talking about.

1358
01:09:10,746 --> 01:09:12,915
Excuses made, like she said… Oh!

1359
01:09:12,982 --> 01:09:14,583
[Booker] Oh, right to the mouth.

1360
01:09:14,650 --> 01:09:16,886
[Vic] Oh, that was, yes,
right into the face

1361
01:09:16,952 --> 01:09:20,422
and that may not suit well
as this matchup rolls on,

1362
01:09:20,489 --> 01:09:23,592
and Ivy Nile can get back
into this as Jade

1363
01:09:23,659 --> 01:09:25,361
back into yet another cover.

1364
01:09:25,427 --> 01:09:27,563
The right shoulder, though,
up off the mat.

1365
01:09:27,630 --> 01:09:28,864
Jade turning right around and a kick out.

1366
01:09:28,931 --> 01:09:30,065
[Booker] Man--

1367
01:09:30,132 --> 01:09:31,534
[Vic] That little bit
of hesitation, though.

1368
01:09:31,600 --> 01:09:34,203
[Booker] Look at Jade…
[stammers] She's for real.

1369
01:09:34,270 --> 01:09:36,605
She reminds me of a young Sherri Martel

1370
01:09:36,672 --> 01:09:39,842
that was just willing to go out there
and step on some toes,

1371
01:09:39,909 --> 01:09:41,510
but not just step on some toes,

1372
01:09:41,577 --> 01:09:44,346
step on some toes and keep on walking yet.

1373
01:09:44,413 --> 01:09:46,081
[Vic] Book, to that point, brings me
back to how different

1374
01:09:46,148 --> 01:09:49,418
these two are because I'm sure
Cora Jade's been smiles all week,

1375
01:09:49,485 --> 01:09:53,856
and after seeing her post-match attack
hindered Valkyria on Sunday.

1376
01:09:53,923 --> 01:09:55,324
Ivy Nile is not doing that.

1377
01:09:55,391 --> 01:09:57,493
[Booker] It's about winning, man.
It's about winning.

1378
01:09:57,560 --> 01:10:00,296
Ivy Nile might need to think
about doing some of that

1379
01:10:00,362 --> 01:10:03,599
if she wants to make it
to that next level to the top.

1380
01:10:03,666 --> 01:10:06,602
I'm talking about checks
and championships, man.

1381
01:10:06,669 --> 01:10:08,904
[Vic] Well, I've heard it before
and right now Nile from behind,

1382
01:10:08,971 --> 01:10:10,973
shoulders down, near fall.

1383
01:10:11,040 --> 01:10:13,142
Ivy Nile doesn't want to cut corners.
She doesn't want to do any of that.

1384
01:10:13,209 --> 01:10:16,412
She wants to earn it.
She wants to earn it every day in the gym.

1385
01:10:16,478 --> 01:10:17,680
She wants to earn it every day.

1386
01:10:17,746 --> 01:10:18,881
[Booker] You know, Vic,
I'm beginning to think

1387
01:10:18,948 --> 01:10:20,916
you're too soft for this job as well.

1388
01:10:20,983 --> 01:10:22,785
[Vic] What do you mean, soft? Boom!

1389
01:10:22,851 --> 01:10:25,354
Is Ivy Nile soft right now
taking it to Cora Jade?

1390
01:10:25,421 --> 01:10:31,160
As into another cover, another hook
of the leg and another near fall.

1391
01:10:31,227 --> 01:10:32,962
Nile staying right on top of Jade.

1392
01:10:33,028 --> 01:10:35,931
This you could argue is the best
we've seen from Ivy Nile.

1393
01:10:35,998 --> 01:10:39,802
Wait a minute, inside cradle, shoulders
are down this time and a near fall.

1394
01:10:39,868 --> 01:10:41,136
Nile able to kick out.

1395
01:10:41,203 --> 01:10:44,340
Quite the back-and-forth matchup
between these two,

1396
01:10:44,406 --> 01:10:47,743
and once again ripping Nile down
by her hairs, Cora Jade.

1397
01:10:47,810 --> 01:10:52,414
[Booker] A little contested battle by two
of the top females here in NXT, Vic.

1398
01:10:52,481 --> 01:10:55,451
-That's what this here is here tonight.
-[Vic] Nobody home.

1399
01:10:55,517 --> 01:11:00,756
Jade turning right around and look
at the power on display from Nile.

1400
01:11:02,024 --> 01:11:04,793
Looks like a gut wrench… Wait…
There's Iva, come on!

1401
01:11:04,860 --> 01:11:08,497
This is what I'm talking about,
but good for Nile, turning it around.

1402
01:11:10,733 --> 01:11:12,568
Oh, from behind.

1403
01:11:13,669 --> 01:11:15,904
Cora Jade taking full advantage

1404
01:11:15,971 --> 01:11:18,007
of the distraction to hit Jade…

1405
01:11:18,073 --> 01:11:20,109
-[Booker] Oh, yes. That's it, Vic.
-…center of the ring.

1406
01:11:20,175 --> 01:11:23,612
-[Vic] Patented Jaded DDT into the cover.
-[Referee] One, two, three.

1407
01:11:23,679 --> 01:11:24,813
-Ring the bell.
-[bell rings]

1408
01:11:24,880 --> 01:11:27,483
--[Vic] And a victory…
["Generation Of Jade" plays]

1409
01:11:27,549 --> 01:11:29,785
[Alicia] Here is your winner, Cora Jade!

1410
01:11:29,852 --> 01:11:32,788
[Vic] …for the Resident
Mean Girl of NXT.

1411
01:11:45,234 --> 01:11:46,368
[Hank] I'm sorry, I keep asking,
I keep bringing it up,

1412
01:11:46,435 --> 01:11:49,171
I know it's annoying,
but how's your shoulder feeling?

1413
01:11:49,238 --> 01:11:50,572
[Tank] Shoulders doing good,
better every day.

1414
01:11:50,639 --> 01:11:53,175
I got to ask you, man, too,
how's the ribs?

1415
01:11:53,242 --> 01:11:54,677
[Hank] They're getting there.

1416
01:11:54,743 --> 01:11:55,811
-They're getting there, bro.
-[Tank] All right.

1417
01:11:55,878 --> 01:11:57,746
[Hank] But in all seriousness,
last week, you crushed it, man.

1418
01:11:57,813 --> 01:11:59,715
[Tank] Don't do that, you crushed it.

1419
01:11:59,782 --> 01:12:01,350
You deserved that win. You got after me.

1420
01:12:01,417 --> 01:12:02,451
[Hank] Thanks, bro. I appreciate.

1421
01:12:02,518 --> 01:12:05,120
[Tank] Dude, at the end of the day,
it worked.

1422
01:12:05,187 --> 01:12:06,422
I feel like we're tighter than ever.

1423
01:12:06,488 --> 01:12:09,024
Since that match we've had this energy
going back and forth between us.

1424
01:12:09,091 --> 01:12:10,159
-[Hank] A connection.
-[Tank] Connection.

1425
01:12:10,225 --> 01:12:11,260
That's the word I was gonna say
it was on the tip of my tongue.

1426
01:12:11,327 --> 01:12:13,829
[Hank] A connection. That's really good.
That's really good.

1427
01:12:13,896 --> 01:12:14,963
[Tank] You see a connection
look at me there.

1428
01:12:15,030 --> 01:12:16,131
-[Hank] Hold on. Okay.
-[Tank] Don't think about it.

1429
01:12:16,198 --> 01:12:17,232
-Just say it.
-[Hank] All right.

1430
01:12:17,299 --> 01:12:18,334
[Tank] Favorite food
on the count of three.

1431
01:12:18,400 --> 01:12:19,635
[Hank] All, here we go.

1432
01:12:19,702 --> 01:12:20,803
-[Tank] One, two--
-[Hank] Wait, wait, wait.

1433
01:12:20,869 --> 01:12:22,171
One, two, then go
or one, two, three then go?

1434
01:12:22,237 --> 01:12:23,305
-What do you want?
-[Tank] After three.

1435
01:12:23,372 --> 01:12:24,506
[Hank] After three. Okay.
I'm good. Come on.

1436
01:12:24,573 --> 01:12:26,342
[Tank] Favorite food. One, two, three.

1437
01:12:26,408 --> 01:12:28,410
-Chicken parm.
-[Hank] Chicken parm.

1438
01:12:28,477 --> 01:12:30,479
[Tank] Favorite animal? One, two, three.

1439
01:12:30,546 --> 01:12:32,348
-Honey badger.
-[Hank] Honey badger.

1440
01:12:32,414 --> 01:12:33,916
Okay. Okay. All right,
come on. Seriously. Okay, okay.

1441
01:12:33,982 --> 01:12:36,719
[Tank] Favorite sauce on your wings.
One, two, three.

1442
01:12:36,785 --> 01:12:38,053
-Buffalo!
-[Hank] Buffalo!

1443
01:12:38,120 --> 01:12:39,555
-[Tank] Hey, come on, man! Come on.
-[Hank] Come on. Come on.

1444
01:12:39,621 --> 01:12:41,090
[Edris] Whoa, whoa, hey, hey.

1445
01:12:41,156 --> 01:12:44,560
Hey, y'all talking about some sauces
because your boy trying to eat.

1446
01:12:44,626 --> 01:12:45,861
[Malik] Bro, we just ate.

1447
01:12:45,928 --> 01:12:47,463
[Tank] All we're talking about

1448
01:12:47,529 --> 01:12:49,231
is that ever since we beat
the tar out of each other,

1449
01:12:49,298 --> 01:12:50,366
we've been like this really tight.

1450
01:12:50,432 --> 01:12:51,533
[Hank] Tight. Really tight.

1451
01:12:51,600 --> 01:12:52,668
-[Edris] Okay.
-[Hank] Tight.

1452
01:12:52,735 --> 01:12:53,902
-[Edris] After one match.
-[Malik] That's a stretch.

1453
01:12:53,969 --> 01:12:55,137
It takes longer than that.

1454
01:12:55,204 --> 01:12:57,539
[Tank] All right, I get it. I get it.
Watch this.

1455
01:12:57,606 --> 01:12:59,308
Hank, best movie of all time.

1456
01:12:59,375 --> 01:13:00,442
One, two, three.

1457
01:13:00,509 --> 01:13:01,577
-Jaws!
-[Hank] Jaws!

1458
01:13:01,643 --> 01:13:02,745
-It's magic.
-[Edris] Hey, hey.

1459
01:13:02,811 --> 01:13:03,946
Hey, we can do it too.

1460
01:13:04,012 --> 01:13:06,281
We can do it too, man.
Same thing. Same thing.

1461
01:13:06,348 --> 01:13:07,683
Favorite date to work out.

1462
01:13:07,750 --> 01:13:09,118
One, two, three.

1463
01:13:09,184 --> 01:13:11,553
-[Malik] Saturday.
-[Edris] Monday.

1464
01:13:11,620 --> 01:13:15,057
[Malik] Okay, okay. Pizza toppings.
All right. One, two, three.

1465
01:13:15,124 --> 01:13:17,159
-Pepperoni. Pineapple?
-[Edris] Pineapple.

1466
01:13:17,226 --> 01:13:19,628
[Malik] You've never ate pineapple
in your life.

1467
01:13:19,695 --> 01:13:21,029
[Edris] I love pineapple.
It's good for my soul, what you mean?

1468
01:13:21,096 --> 01:13:23,499
[Malik] You know, we look like crazy.

1469
01:13:23,565 --> 01:13:25,067
[Edris] We are not fighting.

1470
01:13:27,236 --> 01:13:29,004
[Malik] But that may help us too.

1471
01:13:30,606 --> 01:13:34,676
[Vic] It also may not,
but it is main event time this week.

1472
01:13:34,743 --> 01:13:36,945
Can the Heritage Cup Champion, Noam Dar,

1473
01:13:37,012 --> 01:13:41,483
add more gold
around his waist here tonight?

1474
01:13:41,550 --> 01:13:45,788
Or can Carmelo Hayes
add another brick to his dynasty?

1475
01:13:45,854 --> 01:13:48,190
NXT Championship on the line in moment.

1476
01:13:48,257 --> 01:13:50,392
Hayes, Dar next live on NXT.

1477
01:13:53,462 --> 01:13:56,665
It's been a newsworthy night here
on NXT all evening along.

1478
01:13:56,732 --> 01:13:58,233
Let's actually go back to earlier today,

1479
01:13:58,300 --> 01:14:01,136
it was a tag team matchup
as the North American Champion,

1480
01:14:01,203 --> 01:14:04,072
Wes Lee, teaming with Tyler Bate
to face The Dyad

1481
01:14:04,139 --> 01:14:09,745
when an unexpected free agent
made his arrival to NXT.

1482
01:14:09,812 --> 01:14:11,947
Mustafa Ali!

1483
01:14:13,515 --> 01:14:18,854
The NXT Universe was just as shocked
as us and the four superstars in the ring,

1484
01:14:18,921 --> 01:14:22,257
and it was Ali who mentioned his taste
for a championship tonight.

1485
01:14:22,324 --> 01:14:23,559
He got a taste of NXT,

1486
01:14:23,625 --> 01:14:25,828
but right now our backstage
correspondent McKenzie Mitchell

1487
01:14:25,894 --> 01:14:28,564
standing by trying to get a word
with diamond mine.

1488
01:14:30,332 --> 01:14:32,234
[McKenzie] Thanks, guys. That's right.

1489
01:14:32,301 --> 01:14:35,003
I'm standing by hoping
to get a word with Diamond Mine.

1490
01:14:36,205 --> 01:14:39,975
Creed Brothers, Ivy, we just saw another
altercation with you and Ava.

1491
01:14:40,042 --> 01:14:42,678
[Ivy] Yeah, I'm sick of this crap.
Ava, I'm done.

1492
01:14:42,744 --> 01:14:45,380
You want to be a part of the game?
Step up next week.

1493
01:14:45,447 --> 01:14:46,648
[Julius] That's right. Hey, you know what?

1494
01:14:46,715 --> 01:14:48,550
Next week, Dyad you can get it too,
all right?

1495
01:14:48,617 --> 01:14:50,285
Four roots one stupid ass tree.

1496
01:14:50,352 --> 01:14:52,321
I ain't going nowhere. I'm done talking.

1497
01:14:52,387 --> 01:14:55,290
[yelling]

1498
01:15:02,231 --> 01:15:06,501
[Vic] Hey, look, challenge was thrown out,
will it be accepted, but what we do know,

1499
01:15:06,568 --> 01:15:09,371
pain is temporary and Dragunov
was the last man

1500
01:15:09,438 --> 01:15:11,306
standing Sunday at Battleground.

1501
01:15:11,373 --> 01:15:15,143
He will be live next Tuesday here on NXT.

1502
01:15:15,210 --> 01:15:18,847
Also last week, it may have been
the final straw for Eddy Thorpe.

1503
01:15:18,914 --> 01:15:20,816
He has heard enough from Damon Kemp.

1504
01:15:20,883 --> 01:15:26,688
These two superstars will meet once again
one on one next Tuesday here on NXT.

1505
01:15:26,755 --> 01:15:31,493
And who will be the first superstar
to challenge our new NXT Women's Champion,

1506
01:15:31,560 --> 01:15:32,661
Tiffany Stratton?

1507
01:15:32,728 --> 01:15:35,230
We will determine
a new number-one contender

1508
01:15:35,297 --> 01:15:37,266
in an over-the-top-rope battle royal.

1509
01:15:37,332 --> 01:15:42,871
It's all going down live next week
here on USA on NXT.

1510
01:15:44,540 --> 01:15:48,777
Well, Book, it is main event time
for the NXT Championship.

1511
01:15:48,844 --> 01:15:51,847
["Own The Game" plays]

1512
01:16:00,656 --> 01:16:06,128
[Vic] There is the Heritage Cup Champion,
Noam Dar, along with Jakara Jackson,

1513
01:16:06,194 --> 01:16:10,465
along with Lash Legend, Oro Mensah
who was his corner man,

1514
01:16:10,532 --> 01:16:13,735
was his chief second this past Sunday
at Battleground.

1515
01:16:13,802 --> 01:16:15,537
These three changed the game

1516
01:16:15,604 --> 01:16:18,574
in Heritage Cup Championship match
against Dragon Lee.

1517
01:16:18,640 --> 01:16:21,910
But let's focus on tonight
because Noam Dar has talked himself,

1518
01:16:21,977 --> 01:16:25,080
has he not, into a golden opportunity?

1519
01:16:25,147 --> 01:16:27,382
[Booker] A golden opportunity,
that is true.

1520
01:16:27,449 --> 01:16:29,785
But call it… Call it what it is.

1521
01:16:29,851 --> 01:16:32,387
Get the correct terminology down.

1522
01:16:32,454 --> 01:16:36,024
This is called an entourage, Vic.

1523
01:16:36,091 --> 01:16:37,659
That's what this is.

1524
01:16:37,726 --> 01:16:41,496
Right here, Noam Dar,
he doesn't just come alone, man.

1525
01:16:41,563 --> 01:16:44,466
He brings the party, and I love it.

1526
01:16:44,533 --> 01:16:46,902
You know about this young man, right?

1527
01:16:46,969 --> 01:16:50,105
Come on, come on, come on, Vic. Huh?

1528
01:16:50,172 --> 01:16:52,274
[Vic] Are you gonna join the entourage?

1529
01:16:52,341 --> 01:16:54,710
Are you gonna join
them every single Tuesday?

["Melo Don't Miss" plays]

1531
01:16:56,311 --> 01:16:58,547
-[Booker] I'm a big boy.
-[Vic] There you go.

1532
01:17:02,818 --> 01:17:06,788
The champion is coming off
the highest of highs.

1533
01:17:06,855 --> 01:17:10,459
[Vic] His hometown, it was certainly
a homecoming for Carmelo Hayes.

1534
01:17:10,525 --> 01:17:14,229
And now I wonder, Book, whose side are you
gonna be on in this matchup?

1535
01:17:14,296 --> 01:17:18,333
Are you gonna be with Carmelo Hayes
who you've been down with since day one…

1536
01:17:18,400 --> 01:17:20,168
[Booker] Look, I'm not biased.

1537
01:17:20,235 --> 01:17:21,470
[Vic] …or are you jumping
into the entourage of Noam Dar?

1538
01:17:21,536 --> 01:17:23,138
[Booker] I'm not biased
like you right here, man.

1539
01:17:23,205 --> 01:17:24,906
[Vic] How the hell am I biased?
You are the one who sits on the facts.

1540
01:17:24,973 --> 01:17:26,074
[Booker] Yeah.

1541
01:17:26,141 --> 01:17:27,542
Just three days, I believe,

1542
01:17:27,609 --> 01:17:31,546
from a battle of a lifetime
against that man Bron Breakker,

1543
01:17:31,613 --> 01:17:37,119
and what a grueling match it was,
but he retained that NXT Championship.

1544
01:17:37,185 --> 01:17:38,987
That tells me a lot about this man

1545
01:17:39,054 --> 01:17:42,290
stepping into the middle
of this squared circle here tonight

1546
01:17:42,357 --> 01:17:46,595
with this man, Noam Dar,
who I think is special.

1547
01:17:46,661 --> 01:17:48,030
[Booker] Man, you know, you looked over

1548
01:17:48,096 --> 01:17:50,332
at the right part of the screen
for a moment.

1549

at Carmelo Hayes

1550
01:17:54,169 --> 01:17:58,140
and now getting some last words
of encouragement from his entourage.

accompanied by Trick Williams,

he is the NXT Champion

1563
01:18:45,954 --> 01:18:47,889

[crowd chants "Melo"]

1565
01:18:50,992 --> 01:18:53,929
[Vic] As you hear the NXT Universe
behind the NXT Champion.

1566
01:18:53,995 --> 01:18:58,400
This for Hayes, his second title defense
in as many days.

1567
01:18:58,467 --> 01:18:59,534
[Booker] You know what they say.

1568
01:18:59,601 --> 01:19:02,104
You know, you defended
that makes you true champ.

1569
01:19:02,170 --> 01:19:04,840
You do that one time and he's done that.

1570
01:19:04,906 --> 01:19:07,042
You know what I say about being champions,

1571
01:19:07,109 --> 01:19:10,212
it gives you that cloak,
that cloak of invincibility,

1572
01:19:10,278 --> 01:19:14,750
that's what this young man,
Carmelo Hayes, that man is all about.

1573
01:19:14,816 --> 01:19:17,919
[Booker] NXT Championship
main event here on NXT,

1574
01:19:17,986 --> 01:19:21,890
still trending number one
in the United States,

1575
01:19:21,957 --> 01:19:23,058
and for good reason.

1576
01:19:23,125 --> 01:19:25,560
This is a Premium Live Event-worthy
matchup

1577
01:19:25,627 --> 01:19:26,895
anywhere in the country.

1578
01:19:26,962 --> 01:19:28,897
It's here live tonight on NXT.

1579
01:19:28,964 --> 01:19:31,500
And for Carmelo Hayes,
he's in this matchup,

1580
01:19:31,566 --> 01:19:35,370
kind of got talked into it by Noam Dar,
and I got to throw this out to you.

1581
01:19:35,437 --> 01:19:38,206
Noam Dar thinks he's on the same level
of Carmelo Hayes.

1582
01:19:38,273 --> 01:19:39,441
-[Booker] Come on, Vic.
-[Vic] Boom!

1583
01:19:39,508 --> 01:19:41,076
Hayes does not agree with that.

1584
01:19:41,143 --> 01:19:43,712
[Booker] Two-time
and current Heritage Cup Champion

1585
01:19:43,779 --> 01:19:47,616
and he's taking on a man who's moved up
from the Cruiserweight Championship,

1586
01:19:47,682 --> 01:19:51,486
North American Championship
to now held the cup by own.

1587
01:19:51,553 --> 01:19:53,889
Oh, yes! This is going to be good, Vic.

1588
01:19:53,955 --> 01:19:56,324
[Vic] You talk about the entourage
for Noam Dar.

1589
01:19:56,391 --> 01:19:57,592
How about Trick Williams on the outside?

1590
01:19:57,659 --> 01:19:58,927
Is he going back and have his head

1591
01:19:58,994 --> 01:20:01,630
on a swivel here tonight
for Carmelo Hayes?

1592
01:20:01,696 --> 01:20:04,032
Dar also stated earlier
that his victory Sunday

1593
01:20:04,099 --> 01:20:05,867
at Battleground was more impressive

1594
01:20:05,934 --> 01:20:08,270
because he beat Dragon Lee
not once but twice.

1595
01:20:08,336 --> 01:20:09,938
[Booker] No, no, you got to say

1596
01:20:10,005 --> 01:20:12,407
it was a hell of a victory
for this young man…

1597
01:20:12,474 --> 01:20:14,276
-[Vic] Taking nothing away from him.
-…Noam Dar, because…

1598
01:20:14,342 --> 01:20:15,544
[Vic] Nice, nice, nice.

1599
01:20:15,610 --> 01:20:17,045
[Booker] …that man Dragon Lee
is something special as well.

1600
01:20:17,112 --> 01:20:20,782
[Vic] Hayes said earlier tonight,
he can't even beat me once.

1601
01:20:20,849 --> 01:20:22,551
Dar has that opportunity tonight.

1602
01:20:22,617 --> 01:20:26,521
If Dar can do it, we'll crown
a new NXT Champion here on NXT.

1603
01:20:26,588 --> 01:20:27,622
[Booker] Well, you know what I say, Vic,

1604
01:20:27,689 --> 01:20:30,492
you know, time off in this business
is your worst enemy

1605
01:20:30,559 --> 01:20:33,662
and that's what Carmelo Hayes,
he doesn't want to get caught.

1606
01:20:33,728 --> 01:20:35,163
-[Vic] Oh!
-[Booker] He got caught, though.

1607
01:20:35,230 --> 01:20:38,400
He didn't want to get caught,
but he got caught with a big shot.

1608
01:20:38,466 --> 01:20:41,636
[Vic] Well, that goes back
to that load management, so to speak.

1609
01:20:41,703 --> 01:20:44,973
Should Hayes consider
how many matches he's taking?

1610
01:20:45,040 --> 01:20:48,777
How fast he's taking those matches
as he just flew through the air.

1611
01:20:51,413 --> 01:20:52,614
The champ is rolling.

1612
01:20:52,681 --> 01:20:53,882
Can the champ retain?

1613
01:20:53,949 --> 01:20:55,851

in our main event here live on NXT.

1615
01:21:02,624 --> 01:21:04,526
The Heritage Cup Champion, Noam Dar,

1616
01:21:04,593 --> 01:21:07,929
looking to add another title
to his entourage

1617
01:21:07,996 --> 01:21:10,632
as he's taking on Carmelo Hayes,
the NXT Champion,

1618
01:21:10,699 --> 01:21:13,535
who was in a battle with Bron Breakker
in the main event

1619
01:21:13,602 --> 01:21:16,137
of Battleground this past Sunday.

1620
01:21:16,204 --> 01:21:18,106
A few gut-check moments
in that matchup for Carmelo Hayes.

1621
01:21:18,173 --> 01:21:21,142
We witnessed throughout
the commercial break a few as well,

1622
01:21:21,209 --> 01:21:24,212
but Hayes has been rocking and rolling
in this matchup.

1623
01:21:24,279 --> 01:21:25,547
Taking it to Noam Dar.

1624
01:21:25,614 --> 01:21:26,715
And Dar now…

1625
01:21:26,781 --> 01:21:27,849
Oh!

1626
01:21:27,916 --> 01:21:29,050
-Gets caught up.
-[Booker] Wow!

1627
01:21:29,117 --> 01:21:31,887
[Vic] And Hayes is rolling
a little fade away!

1628
01:21:31,953 --> 01:21:33,054
-Connects.
-[Booker] Good shot.

1629
01:21:33,121 --> 01:21:35,824
-Good shot landing right there, Vic.
-[Vic] Yeah, when he shoots he don't miss.

1630
01:21:35,891 --> 01:21:37,459
Cover, count to retain.

1631
01:21:37,525 --> 01:21:39,527
And Dar just able to kick out.

1632
01:21:39,594 --> 01:21:41,162
You know, Noam Dar,

1633
01:21:41,229 --> 01:21:44,199
he certainly does pose
a different type of test

1634
01:21:44,266 --> 01:21:46,568
than Bron Breakker as Hayes goes up, bam!

1635
01:21:46,635 --> 01:21:48,536
And connected beautifully.
Wasn't able to put Dar away, though.

1636
01:21:48,603 --> 01:21:51,640
[Booker] Yeah, of course,
not just his in-ring prowess, Vic,

1637
01:21:51,706 --> 01:21:54,175
he has a crew out here with him.

1638
01:21:54,242 --> 01:21:56,578
He has a team and you got to like that.

1639
01:21:56,645 --> 01:21:58,780
[Vic] As Oro Mensah who was the corner man

1640
01:21:58,847 --> 01:22:01,783
for the Heritage Cup Championship match
this past weekend,

1641
01:22:01,850 --> 01:22:04,286
but now a little round
and round they go, and…

1642
01:22:04,352 --> 01:22:07,656
Oh, Hayes, just able to hold on there
in front of Trick Williams.

1643
01:22:10,258 --> 01:22:12,093
Swing and a miss right back in.

1644
01:22:12,160 --> 01:22:13,228
Oh, there's Dar.

1645
01:22:13,295 --> 01:22:14,596
He is crafty as they come.

1646
01:22:14,663 --> 01:22:15,864
Picks up speed and bam!

1647
01:22:15,931 --> 01:22:17,599
[Booker] Vic, this is important.

1648
01:22:17,666 --> 01:22:20,402
We haven't talked about
the importance of this matchup

1649
01:22:20,468 --> 01:22:21,536
for this young man, Noam Dar.

1650
01:22:21,603 --> 01:22:22,637
[Vic] Now look at Dar. Dar quickly now.

1651
01:22:22,704 --> 01:22:23,805
[Booker] You haven't talk about that, Vic.

1652
01:22:23,872 --> 01:22:25,206
[Vic] Quickly now getting Hayes
back into the ring.

1653
01:22:25,273 --> 01:22:26,708
The only way you can win the title
is pinfall and submission.

1654
01:22:26,775 --> 01:22:27,842
Dar knows that.

1655
01:22:27,909 --> 01:22:29,945
Dar trying to capitalize,
and Hayes able to kick out.

1656
01:22:30,011 --> 01:22:32,580
[Booker] It's about time
you put some urgency

1657
01:22:32,647 --> 01:22:33,715
with this young man is seeing right now.

1658
01:22:33,782 --> 01:22:37,352
This is a moment of a lifetime
for this young man right here, Noam Dar.

1659
01:22:37,419 --> 01:22:39,854
[Vic] And right over Hayes again,
another cover.

1660
01:22:39,921 --> 01:22:42,991
Another kick out by Hayes,
and that was close.

1661
01:22:43,058 --> 01:22:45,727
But here's where that chief second
coming into play.

1662
01:22:48,863 --> 01:22:51,366
-Oro Mensah, Lash Legend…
-[Booker] I like that.

1663
01:22:51,433 --> 01:22:53,468
-[Vic] …trying to help out Noam Dar.
-Yeah, you like this.

1664
01:22:53,535 --> 01:22:55,737
[Booker] I like they're calm down,
you know, you need that space,

1665
01:22:55,804 --> 01:22:57,405
makes you to work with the time.

1666
01:22:57,472 --> 01:22:59,007
[Vic] Double underhook suplex.

1667
01:22:59,074 --> 01:23:01,476
Float over
into another cover center of the ring.

1668
01:23:01,543 --> 01:23:02,610
-And again…
-[Booker] Oh, Hayes.

1669
01:23:02,677 --> 01:23:05,780
[Vic] …Hayes kicking out, but you see
Hayes breathing a little extra deep again.

1670
01:23:05,847 --> 01:23:07,782
The stomach, the ribs, the midsection.

1671
01:23:07,849 --> 01:23:12,087
Not 100% more so after what we witnessed
this past Sunday against Bron Breakker,

1672
01:23:12,153 --> 01:23:14,255
Hayes trying to fight back.

1673
01:23:14,322 --> 01:23:17,092
Trick Williams trying to rally Hayes
in this moment.

1674
01:23:17,158 --> 01:23:21,029
And the NXT Champion creating a little bit
of separation in this moment.

1675
01:23:21,096 --> 01:23:24,332
But there comes Dar right back.
That could be a knockout blow.

1676
01:23:24,399 --> 01:23:28,436
Legs are buckled, title on the line.
And kicking out one more time is Hayes.

1677
01:23:28,503 --> 01:23:31,306
[Booker] Look at the frustration
in the eyes of Noam Dar

1678
01:23:31,373 --> 01:23:35,110
because normally that little shot right
there almost like a six-inch hook.

1679
01:23:35,176 --> 01:23:36,444
That's normally it.

1680
01:23:36,511 --> 01:23:37,612
[Vic] Feel the impact.

1681
01:23:37,679 --> 01:23:39,514
And right here as you talked
about sudden impact. Bam!

1682
01:23:39,581 --> 01:23:41,683
[Booker] Oh, six inches, man, that was it.

1683
01:23:41,750 --> 01:23:42,884
[Vic] Book, and you're right,

1684
01:23:42,951 --> 01:23:45,320
that was the elbow
that caught Hayes on the jaw.

1685
01:23:45,387 --> 01:23:48,656
[Booker] Exactly my point.
It was very close, and it connects you.

1686
01:23:48,723 --> 01:23:49,858
-[Vic] Knee didn't connect.
-[Booker] Beautiful.

1687
01:23:49,924 --> 01:23:51,026
-[Vic] Going from behind.
-[Booker] There you go.

1688
01:23:51,092 --> 01:23:53,828
[Vic] Shoulders down and Hayes
almost picking up the win to retain,

1689
01:23:53,895 --> 01:23:54,963
and another uppercut.

1690
01:23:55,030 --> 01:23:56,164
Hayes coming right back in.

1691
01:23:56,231 --> 01:23:59,167
Going up, going down,
and going around, but typically,

1692
01:23:59,234 --> 01:24:01,569
you see Hayes able to follow up
in that moment.

1693
01:24:01,636 --> 01:24:05,306
So much have been taking out of Hayes
over the last 48 hours.

1694
01:24:05,373 --> 01:24:08,376
He's trying to get that second, third,

1695
01:24:08,443 --> 01:24:11,946
maybe even that fourth win
because the NXT title is on the line.

1696
01:24:12,013 --> 01:24:14,849
[Booker] Vic, he's looking
for that fifth gear right now.

1697
01:24:14,916 --> 01:24:17,919
Noam Dar, he's trying to stifle that.

1698
01:24:17,986 --> 01:24:22,590
He's trying to stiny that moment
for this man, Carmelo Hayes.

1699
01:24:27,529 --> 01:24:29,831
[Vic] Right now for Hayes
he could be looking

1700
01:24:29,898 --> 01:24:31,699
for a knockout blow in his own right

1701
01:24:31,766 --> 01:24:35,203
as Dar right back up
and he's gonna get sent right back down.

1702
01:24:35,270 --> 01:24:37,672
-[Booker] Oh, yes.
-[Vic] Big clothesline.

1703
01:24:37,739 --> 01:24:41,109
[Booker] The kid is moving.
He's on his feet right now, Vic.

1704
01:24:41,176 --> 01:24:42,710
He's moving. Oh, yes!

1705
01:24:42,777 --> 01:24:43,878
[Vic] Double kick drops Dar.

1706
01:24:43,945 --> 01:24:47,649
And Dar right now, the only thing going
for him is that he's in his corner.

1707
01:24:47,715 --> 01:24:51,085
The only thing going for him
is he's getting words of encouragement

1708
01:24:51,152 --> 01:24:52,654
to get back into this fight.

1709
01:24:52,720 --> 01:24:53,955
Nice counter.
Swing and a miss, doesn't connect.

1710
01:24:54,022 --> 01:24:55,290
-Nor does the elbow.
-[Booker] Looking for that elbow.

1711
01:24:55,356 --> 01:24:57,225
[Vic] He gets planted by the champ.

1712
01:24:57,292 --> 01:24:58,560
Hayes to retain.

1713
01:24:58,626 --> 01:25:00,595
And no!

1714
01:25:00,662 --> 01:25:01,729
Dar…

1715
01:25:02,831 --> 01:25:06,601
able to get the left shoulder up,
and now frustration starting to pour.

1716
01:25:06,668 --> 01:25:08,002
[Booker] I don't think so.

1717
01:25:08,069 --> 01:25:11,139
-Melo right now is fazed but--
-[Vic] Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

1718
01:25:11,206 --> 01:25:13,741
[crosstalk]

1719
01:25:16,044 --> 01:25:18,012
[Booker] What the hell are yous doing?

1720
01:25:20,615 --> 01:25:21,716
[Vic] Oh!

1721
01:25:21,783 --> 01:25:23,785
[crowd cheers]

1722
01:25:25,186 --> 01:25:26,254
[Vic] Wait.

1723
01:25:29,023 --> 01:25:30,091
Whoa!

1724
01:25:31,292 --> 01:25:32,393
Whoa!

1725
01:25:32,460 --> 01:25:33,561
Book, come on.

1726
01:25:33,628 --> 01:25:35,330
[Booker] He threw the first blow.

1727
01:25:37,132 --> 01:25:40,268
[Vic] NXT Universe does not like
that Trick Williams

1728
01:25:40,335 --> 01:25:43,204
has just been ejected from ringside.

1729
01:25:46,508 --> 01:25:50,178
And the plan of Lash Legend,
Jakara Jackson working out at this moment.

1730
01:25:50,245 --> 01:25:51,412
But Hayes from behind.

1731
01:25:51,479 --> 01:25:53,681
One more time. Another kick out by Dar.

1732
01:25:53,748 --> 01:25:55,183
Ooh! That elbow again.

1733
01:25:55,250 --> 01:25:57,785
[Booker] Oh, yes,
connected perfectly, Vic.

1734
01:25:57,852 --> 01:25:59,754
[Vic] Another cover and another kick out,
but look at Dar quickly.

1735
01:25:59,821 --> 01:26:01,556
[Booker] Oh, beautiful transition.

1736
01:26:01,623 --> 01:26:03,391
[Vic] Transition into the knee bar.

1737
01:26:03,458 --> 01:26:05,160
Is Carmelo Hayes going to tap out?

1738
01:26:05,226 --> 01:26:06,761
The champion in dire straits.

1739
01:26:06,828 --> 01:26:09,264
You can see the pain etched
on the face of Hayes.

1740
01:26:09,330 --> 01:26:12,100
[Booker] Got to work his way out,
got to keep it moving.

1741
01:26:12,166 --> 01:26:14,335
Got to keep it moving, Vic.
Oh, here we go.

1742
01:26:14,402 --> 01:26:16,938
[Vic] Hayes back up and able
to swing his way free,

1743
01:26:17,005 --> 01:26:19,908
and now it's Hayes trying to lock
on the crossface.

1744
01:26:19,974 --> 01:26:21,009
Can he connect it?

1745
01:26:21,075 --> 01:26:23,111
And he's got his hands in it cinched in.

1746
01:26:23,178 --> 01:26:26,247
Hayes now looking for the submission.
Dar, is he gonna tap?

1747
01:26:26,314 --> 01:26:28,616
Dar trying to reach over.
Trying to find and…

1748
01:26:28,683 --> 01:26:29,984
-[Booker] Wow!
-[Vic] …did navigate his way.

1749
01:26:30,051 --> 01:26:31,352
[Booker] Resilience, Vic.

1750
01:26:31,419 --> 01:26:34,389
That's resilience from this young man
right here, Noam Dar.

1751
01:26:35,823 --> 01:26:37,225
[Vic] Again, just 48 hours

1752
01:26:37,292 --> 01:26:39,961
removed for both these superstars
at NXT Battleground.

1753
01:26:40,028 --> 01:26:42,564
Dar retaining the Heritage Cup
against Dragon Lee.

1754
01:26:42,630 --> 01:26:45,066
Hayes retaining against Bron Breakker.

1755
01:26:45,133 --> 01:26:47,535
And this now just breaking down
into a slugfest,

1756
01:26:47,602 --> 01:26:50,505
but Trick Williams
not here for Carmelo Hayes,

1757
01:26:50,572 --> 01:26:52,473
was just ejected from ringside.

1758
01:26:52,540 --> 01:26:55,877
The numbers advantage certainly
in favor of Noam Dar,

1759
01:26:55,944 --> 01:26:57,111
but Carmelo Hayes doesn't give a damn.

1760
01:26:57,178 --> 01:26:58,246
Oh, nice kick.

1761
01:26:58,313 --> 01:27:01,349
[Booker] Can you imagine Noam Dar
walking out here tonight…

1762
01:27:01,416 --> 01:27:03,284
-[Vic] Oh!
-…and winning this NXT--

1763
01:27:03,351 --> 01:27:06,154
-[Booker] Beautiful shot.
-[Vic] Another spinning elbow.

1764
01:27:06,221 --> 01:27:08,356
Dar gets countered. And a cutter.

1765
01:27:08,423 --> 01:27:10,058
What a cutter from Hayes!

1766
01:27:12,360 --> 01:27:13,494
And Hayes

1767
01:27:13,561 --> 01:27:16,564
sensing this could be
his moment now, Book.

1768
01:27:16,631 --> 01:27:19,601
Trying to take a long climb
all the way to the top.

1769
01:27:19,667 --> 01:27:20,735
Mensah!

1770
01:27:20,802 --> 01:27:24,472
Come on, the referee was distracted
by Legend and Jackson.

1771
01:27:24,539 --> 01:27:27,875
[Booker] Vic, there's a lot
of moving parts out here tonight.

1772
01:27:29,010 --> 01:27:30,411
[Vic] Frazer and Dragon Lee.

1773
01:27:33,548 --> 01:27:35,149
Yeah, those parts are evened up.

1774
01:27:38,620 --> 01:27:40,888
Not gonna like what they saw.

1775
01:27:40,955 --> 01:27:43,992
Hayes turning the game around.

1776
01:27:44,058 --> 01:27:46,260
Sends Dar back into the ring.

1777
01:27:46,327 --> 01:27:47,562
And one more time.

1778
01:27:47,629 --> 01:27:50,398
Hayes to the top, calling his shot.

1779
01:27:50,465 --> 01:27:52,233
When he shoots, Hayes don't miss.

1780
01:27:52,300 --> 01:27:54,969
[Booker] First 48. Oh, yes!

1781
01:27:55,036 --> 01:27:56,170
[Vic] Into the cover.

1782
01:27:56,237 --> 01:27:58,339
[crowd counts]

1783
01:27:58,406 --> 01:28:00,241
-[bell rings]
-[Vic] Hayes retains.

1784
01:28:00,308 --> 01:28:01,609
["Melo Don't Miss" plays]

1785
01:28:01,676 --> 01:28:05,480
[Alicia] Here is your winner
and still the NXT Champion,

1786
01:28:05,546 --> 01:28:07,882
Carmelo Hayes!

1787
01:28:07,949 --> 01:28:10,418
[Vic] What a victory!

1788
01:28:16,958 --> 01:28:18,793
[crowd chants "Melo"]

1789
01:28:18,860 --> 01:28:22,463
[Vic] And listen to the NXT Universe.

1790
01:28:23,665 --> 01:28:27,168
As you know, Trick Williams was set,
was ejected.

1791
01:28:27,235 --> 01:28:29,203
It was Dragon Lee and Nathan Frazer

1792
01:28:29,270 --> 01:28:33,141
who came out to even up the odds
with unfinished business with Noam Dar.

1793
01:28:33,207 --> 01:28:36,177
And for Carmelo Hayes,
much like on Sunday,

1794
01:28:36,244 --> 01:28:41,349
nothing but net connected
to secure another victory

1795
01:28:41,416 --> 01:28:44,218
for the NXT Champion.

1796
01:28:45,486 --> 01:28:48,022
What a night here on NXT!

1797
01:28:48,089 --> 01:28:52,360
And another brick put down
in the dynasty of Carmelo Hayes.

1798
01:28:54,228 --> 01:28:55,530
Hold up.

1799
01:28:55,596 --> 01:28:56,798
That's Baron Corbin!

1800
01:28:56,864 --> 01:28:58,700
[Booker] Hold it.

1801
01:28:58,766 --> 01:29:00,068
Wait a minute.

1802
01:29:00,134 --> 01:29:01,569
Hold the phone.

1803
01:29:03,204 --> 01:29:05,006
-Oh, man.
-[Vic] Another free agent.

1804
01:29:05,073 --> 01:29:07,975
[crowd boos]

1805
01:29:11,946 --> 01:29:14,515
[Vic] Baron Corbin is beating
the hell out of Hayes.

1806
01:29:18,820 --> 01:29:20,288
[Booker] Whoa, man!

1807
01:29:28,596 --> 01:29:32,200
[Vic] Are we witnessing the end of days

1808
01:29:32,266 --> 01:29:35,970
for Melo as NXT Champion?

1809
01:29:40,308 --> 01:29:43,511
Subtitles: Dawood Ali
on?
