[WWE's music playing]

2
00:00:04,571 --> 00:00:05,672
[male narrator] Then.

3
00:00:10,977 --> 00:00:12,011
[male narrator] Now.

4
00:00:16,516 --> 00:00:17,517
Forever.

5
00:00:23,223 --> 00:00:24,324
Together.

00:00:25,959 --> 00:00:27,427

[NXT's music playing]

8
00:00:30,196 --> 00:00:32,999
[Vic] Here, 4th July celebration continues

9
00:00:33,366 --> 00:00:36,069
as we will certainly have some fireworks
tonight.

10
00:00:36,469 --> 00:00:37,871
Welcome to NXT.

11
00:00:40,006 --> 00:00:41,875
[Blair Davenport's music playing]

12
00:00:52,619 --> 00:00:53,453
[bell ringing]

13
00:00:53,520 --> 00:00:56,222
[Beth] The following contest
is scheduled for one fall.

14
00:00:56,389 --> 00:01:00,160
Introducing first, Blair Davenport.

15
00:01:00,627 --> 00:01:04,564
[Vic] Booker, this is showdown
that is months in the making.

16
00:01:04,998 --> 00:01:05,832
Whoa.

17
00:01:06,733 --> 00:01:10,703
Wasting no time, Roxanne Perez
coming right out of the gate.

18
00:01:10,770 --> 00:01:13,740
She has been wanting to get her hands on
Blair Davenport,

19
00:01:13,807 --> 00:01:16,810
and it has been a rollercoaster year
for Perez.

20
00:01:17,110 --> 00:01:19,379
[Booker] The fighting spirit
in Roxanne Perez.

21
00:01:19,446 --> 00:01:22,949
Vic, she's young, but she knows exactly
what this business is all about

22
00:01:23,016 --> 00:01:25,285
and what it takes to make it to the top.

23
00:01:25,351 --> 00:01:26,319
She's been there.

24
00:01:26,386 --> 00:01:29,289
[Vic] I can't even see through the ring
through the smoke.

25
00:01:29,589 --> 00:01:32,492
As finally, the referee's trying to get
some sort of order

26
00:01:32,559 --> 00:01:35,395
so we can officially begin this matchup.

27
00:01:36,496 --> 00:01:37,330
[Bell ringing]

28
00:01:37,397 --> 00:01:38,832
[Vic] Finally, it's official.

29
00:01:38,898 --> 00:01:41,935
What a way to kick off July 4th
here on NXT.

30
00:01:42,001 --> 00:01:43,036
[Booker] Oh, yes.

31
00:01:43,103 --> 00:01:46,973
[Vic] Look, this is a side no one,
not even you, has ever seen in Perez.

32
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,742
-[Booker] What? I've seen this Perez.
[Vic] Incoming!

33
00:01:50,143 --> 00:01:52,445
[Booker] I taught her all about this, Vic.

34
00:01:52,512 --> 00:01:54,814
You got to go out there
and take what you want.

35
00:01:54,881 --> 00:01:57,150
You can't wait for somebody
to give it to you.

36
00:01:57,217 --> 00:02:00,186
[Vic] You aren't saying
it wasn't uncharacteristic to attack

37
00:02:00,253 --> 00:02:02,856
Blair Davenport like Roxanne Perez did
two weeks ago?

38
00:02:02,922 --> 00:02:05,125
[Booker] Vic, Vic.
When somebody attacks you,

39
00:02:05,191 --> 00:02:08,094
you want to go there
and you want to get the first shot in.

40
00:02:08,161 --> 00:02:10,163
If you knock them out, so be it.

41
00:02:10,897 --> 00:02:13,566
[Vic] That is what Perez is trying to do
here tonight.

42
00:02:13,633 --> 00:02:15,668
We talk about the year that it's been
for Perez,

43
00:02:15,735 --> 00:02:17,070
began the year as champion.

44
00:02:17,137 --> 00:02:20,006
Then her career was actually
put on hold for a time being.

45
00:02:20,073 --> 00:02:23,109
She is not the woman you want to mess with
here in NXT.

46
00:02:23,810 --> 00:02:25,812
[Booker] Only 21 years of age.

47
00:02:25,979 --> 00:02:30,083
Breakout star 2022, tag team champion,
women's champion.

48
00:02:30,150 --> 00:02:34,354
She's done it all, and now
she's on the comeback, on the rise again.

49
00:02:34,420 --> 00:02:37,090
But she's got to get past Blair Davenport.

50
00:02:37,657 --> 00:02:39,659
[Vic] Certainly trying to do it tonight,

51
00:02:39,726 --> 00:02:43,429
but why is it important to Perez
to stand up for the locker room?

52
00:02:43,496 --> 00:02:46,933
-[Booker] I don't think it's standing up
-[Viv] Nice Russian leg sweep.

53
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:48,234
Floats over in to the cover.

54
00:02:48,301 --> 00:02:50,003
[Booker] That's one thing I teach.

55
00:02:50,069 --> 00:02:52,472
When you're 99%,
you might keep your mouth shut.

56
00:02:52,539 --> 00:02:58,044
When you're 100% about something,
you speak up 100% of the time,

57
00:02:58,111 --> 00:03:00,113
and that's what this young lady is.

58
00:03:00,446 --> 00:03:03,650
[Vic] Like when you don't know
what you want to say, you just…

59
00:03:03,716 --> 00:03:05,518
-[Vic] Oh, yes!
-[Booker] Oh, yes!

60
00:03:05,585 --> 00:03:08,555
[Vic] Oh, yes! What a knee from Davenport.
[Booker] Whoa!

61
00:03:08,621 --> 00:03:10,390
Might've just knocked out Perez.

62
00:03:10,456 --> 00:03:14,227
Into the cover, and Perez
able to fight free at two and a half.

63
00:03:14,294 --> 00:03:19,198
Davenport, here on the scene coming back,
has made a long list of enemies.

64
00:03:19,265 --> 00:03:22,268
And she doesn't care if you love her,

65
00:03:22,335 --> 00:03:24,671
and she doesn't care if you hate her.

66
00:03:24,871 --> 00:03:28,408
[Booker] Davenport came back
with what's called the master plan, Vic.

67
00:03:28,474 --> 00:03:33,613
Eliminate the competition.
Nikkita Lyons, Sol Ruca, Wendy Choo.

68
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:38,184
And she's trying to put this young lady,
Roxanne Perez, on that list.

69
00:03:38,918 --> 00:03:40,253
[Vic] Perez right now.

70
00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,622
Nice little dropkick. Able to evade.

71
00:03:42,689 --> 00:03:43,856
Still to come tonight.

72
00:03:44,357 --> 00:03:47,493
Big stakes. Loser is out of NXT.

73
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,096
The losing team leaves this brand.

74
00:03:50,430 --> 00:03:53,566
Creeds, Dyad still to come
here this evening.

75
00:03:55,335 --> 00:03:57,670
We will hear from Bron Breakker as well.

76
00:03:57,737 --> 00:04:00,640
Live after what transpired in
the closing moments

77
00:04:00,707 --> 00:04:02,208
last week storming out.

78
00:04:02,275 --> 00:04:03,643
What was that about?

79
00:04:03,710 --> 00:04:07,013
Do you have any insight on Bron Breakker?

80
00:04:08,748 --> 00:04:11,651
[Booker] You're talking about a live wire
in Bron Breakker.

81
00:04:11,718 --> 00:04:16,389
A guy who's calling his own shots,
making the rules along the way.

82
00:04:16,589 --> 00:04:17,657
And I like that!

83
00:04:17,724 --> 00:04:18,958
I like that attitude.

84
00:04:19,125 --> 00:04:22,829
[Vic] Blair Davenport certainly's brought
attitude to the women's division.

85
00:04:23,196 --> 00:04:27,900
Attacking Nikkita Lyons, Wendy Choo,
Sol Ruca… Injuring all three.

86
00:04:27,967 --> 00:04:31,871
Has also, mind you, attacked her opponent
here tonight, Roxanne Perez,

87
00:04:32,071 --> 00:04:34,674
which has lit a fire under the prodigy.

88
00:04:34,741 --> 00:04:37,610
[Booker] Blair's trying to carve her route
to the championship.

89
00:04:37,677 --> 00:04:39,579
Like I say, eliminate the competition.

90
00:04:39,779 --> 00:04:40,780
That's a great plan.

91
00:04:41,214 --> 00:04:42,949
[Vic] Oh, no! [Booker] Oh, yes!

92
00:04:43,383 --> 00:04:45,351
[Vic] A nasty landing for Perez.

93
00:04:46,152 --> 00:04:49,355
And you don't want to give
Blair Davenport an inch.

94
00:04:49,422 --> 00:04:51,724
A double stomp to the spine!

95
00:04:52,659 --> 00:04:53,893
[Booker] I tell you, Vic.

96
00:04:54,360 --> 00:04:55,294
Wow.

97
00:04:58,431 --> 00:05:00,800
Can Perez get back in this match?

98
00:05:05,438 --> 00:05:06,673
[Vic] Back on NXT.

99
00:05:06,739 --> 00:05:09,842
Perez's finally able to get away
from Davenport for a moment.

100
00:05:09,909 --> 00:05:10,810
Swing and a miss.

101
00:05:10,877 --> 00:05:13,079
As we've seen throughout
the commercial break

102
00:05:13,146 --> 00:05:14,614
this has been back and forth.

103
00:05:14,681 --> 00:05:16,649
Looking for a pin and a win, but no.

104
00:05:16,716 --> 00:05:19,285
Davenport is able to push free
at the last moment.

105
00:05:19,585 --> 00:05:22,555
When we talk about…Perez,
she's not scared.

106
00:05:22,755 --> 00:05:25,425
There's no fear in her eyes
when it comes to Blair Davenport.

107
00:05:25,491 --> 00:05:27,360
She is going right at Davenport.

108
00:05:27,427 --> 00:05:30,396
As a matter of fact, at some points
she tried to go through.

109
00:05:30,463 --> 00:05:33,399
Blair Davenport,
but a belly-to-back suplex connects.

110
00:05:33,466 --> 00:05:35,668
[Booker] She's trying to go
toe-to-toe with Blair Davenport,

111
00:05:35,735 --> 00:05:37,103
and I don't think that's a good plan.

112
00:05:37,170 --> 00:05:39,472
[Vic] Davenport into the cover again,
and another near fall.

113
00:05:39,539 --> 00:05:41,374
[Booker] I don't think that's
the right strategy.

114
00:05:41,441 --> 00:05:42,342
She's the prodigy.

115
00:05:42,408 --> 00:05:44,177
She started with me when she was 16,

116
00:05:44,243 --> 00:05:47,080
but you got to look at Blair Davenport
and her background.

117
00:05:47,146 --> 00:05:49,649
She started to think
when she was 16 years old

118
00:05:50,149 --> 00:05:53,519
she has a little bit more experience
than Roxanne Perez.

119
00:05:53,586 --> 00:05:55,021
Right now, it's showing.

120
00:05:55,354 --> 00:05:59,592
Talking about fireworks,
NXT underground still to come tonight.

121
00:05:59,659 --> 00:06:03,663
Eddy Thorpe, Damon Kamp,
olympic gold medalist Gable Steveson

122
00:06:03,730 --> 00:06:06,366
in the corner of Eddy Thorpe here tonight.

123
00:06:06,432 --> 00:06:08,601
Still to come, it's up next…

124
00:06:08,968 --> 00:06:11,003
Mustafa Ali, Tyler Bate.

125
00:06:11,070 --> 00:06:13,506
What a one-on-one clash
that is going to be.

126
00:06:13,573 --> 00:06:17,777
As we're back focused on Roxanne Perez
who looked for that uppercut

127
00:06:17,844 --> 00:06:19,512
and it's countered by Davenport.

128
00:06:20,346 --> 00:06:22,482
Davenport who has no respect
from her peers.

129
00:06:22,548 --> 00:06:23,883
[Booker] Oh, wow.

130
00:06:23,950 --> 00:06:27,720
Davenport has been one step ahead of
Roxanne Perez all night too, Vic.

131
00:06:28,287 --> 00:06:31,457
[Vic] Again, when it comes to Davenport,
she feeds off this.

132
00:06:31,824 --> 00:06:35,461
She loves to be hated,
she loves to destroy,

133
00:06:35,528 --> 00:06:38,164
and she could be looking for…
Oh, nice counter!

134
00:06:38,397 --> 00:06:40,733
Shifting her weight in midair, is Perez.

135
00:06:41,300 --> 00:06:42,135
[Booker] Wow.

136
00:06:42,502 --> 00:06:44,337
[Vic] You talk about being a prodigy.

137
00:06:44,871 --> 00:06:48,941
What a counter by
the former NXT women's champion.

138
00:06:49,008 --> 00:06:50,109
[crowd cheering]

139
00:06:51,344 --> 00:06:52,912
[Vic] Both superstars are down.

140
00:06:53,412 --> 00:06:57,683
What a way to kick off
this July 4th edition of NXT.

141
00:06:57,984 --> 00:07:01,354
A rivalry that has been brewing
for months.

142
00:07:01,687 --> 00:07:03,556
Davenport who has laid waste…

143
00:07:04,557 --> 00:07:05,858
to countless…

144
00:07:06,325 --> 00:07:07,560
superstars…

145
00:07:07,627 --> 00:07:11,063
in the women's division, including
her opponent here tonight, Perez,

146
00:07:11,130 --> 00:07:13,833
who's tried to pick up all those fallen,

147
00:07:13,900 --> 00:07:15,268
put them on her back,

148
00:07:15,334 --> 00:07:19,539
become a locker room leader,
and is now slugging it out with Davenport.

149
00:07:23,443 --> 00:07:24,744
[Booker] Oh, yes.

150
00:07:24,811 --> 00:07:25,845
Here we go, Vic.

151
00:07:26,312 --> 00:07:29,182
We're going to that place,
that special place.

152
00:07:29,615 --> 00:07:31,617
It's a fight about to break out.

153
00:07:31,851 --> 00:07:34,921
[Vic] This is what Perez wanted,
all the backstage attacks.

154
00:07:34,987 --> 00:07:37,290
Don't forget what happened
on the Snapchat show

155
00:07:37,356 --> 00:07:39,125
when Davenport came out of nowhere.

156
00:07:39,192 --> 00:07:41,794
Oh! But there's no more ambushes tonight.

157
00:07:41,994 --> 00:07:43,629
That could be a knockout blow.

158
00:07:43,830 --> 00:07:48,134
Cover, and somehow again, able to get
that left shoulder up, was Perez.

159
00:07:48,201 --> 00:07:50,403
[Booker] What a shot by Blair Davenport.

160
00:07:50,570 --> 00:07:52,839
Just a right hand.

161
00:07:55,308 --> 00:07:58,811
[Vic] Now, able to roll
through is Davenport.

162
00:07:58,878 --> 00:08:00,813
Perez's trying to get out of the way.

163
00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:02,048
Oh, to the midsection.

164
00:08:02,114 --> 00:08:05,184
Now, maybe looking for pop rocks
into the corner?

165
00:08:06,219 --> 00:08:08,254
Perez in her own right able to counter.

166
00:08:08,321 --> 00:08:12,558
Another crossbody, takes down Davenport
into the cover, and a kick out at two.

167
00:08:15,695 --> 00:08:17,630
What's going through the mind of Perez?

168
00:08:17,697 --> 00:08:19,532
[Booker] I just see frustration.
[Vic] You can, right?

169
00:08:19,765 --> 00:08:21,868
That's not what Perez
needs in this moment.

170
00:08:21,934 --> 00:08:24,003
Doesn't need to be frustrated in the ring

171
00:08:24,070 --> 00:08:26,506
with someone as talented as
Blair Davenport.

172
00:08:26,572 --> 00:08:28,508
Now just unleashing fury.

173
00:08:28,841 --> 00:08:30,643
[Booker] We talked about those moments.

174
00:08:30,710 --> 00:08:32,278
Being in those situations,

175
00:08:32,345 --> 00:08:35,715
trying to find calm in those spaces.

176
00:08:35,781 --> 00:08:37,083
[crowd cheering]

177
00:08:38,851 --> 00:08:40,753
[Vic] We've seen a lot of risk tonight

178
00:08:40,953 --> 00:08:42,455
By Perez. Tried one more time.

179
00:08:42,521 --> 00:08:44,724
Davenport's able to side step. Uh!

180
00:08:45,191 --> 00:08:47,260
Able to get in front of Perez
one more time,

181
00:08:47,326 --> 00:08:48,728
but then just gets ran over.

182
00:08:50,363 --> 00:08:52,865
How sweet this would be for-- Oh!

183
00:08:52,932 --> 00:08:54,700
[Booker] Oh! Wow!
[Vic] Jesus!

184
00:08:55,701 --> 00:08:57,536
[Booker] Steel don't give, Vic.

185
00:08:57,937 --> 00:08:59,972
[Vic] Did you hear the-- Oh! And the knee.

186
00:09:00,039 --> 00:09:00,873
[Booker] Wow.

187
00:09:02,909 --> 00:09:04,043
[Vic] Perez may be out.

188
00:09:05,077 --> 00:09:06,746
The referee looking down,

189
00:09:06,812 --> 00:09:09,315
and Perez hasn't even moved on her own.

190
00:09:09,782 --> 00:09:11,183
She's just starting to stir.

191
00:09:12,785 --> 00:09:13,886
Referee's at seven.

192
00:09:13,953 --> 00:09:15,555
[Booker] She's going to get up,
to make it.

193
00:09:15,621 --> 00:09:17,657
[Vic] The referee's still counting.
[Booker] She's going to make it, Vic.

194
00:09:17,723 --> 00:09:20,126
[Vic] Referee's at nine, and… Oh, great!

195
00:09:20,393 --> 00:09:23,229
[Vic] Perez just beat the count.
[Booker] Wow, so close.

196
00:09:23,629 --> 00:09:25,965
[Vic] What could be left in Roxanne Perez?

197
00:09:26,132 --> 00:09:28,100
[Crowd chants "Roxy"]

198
00:09:28,434 --> 00:09:30,703
[Vic] NXT universe's trying their best.

199
00:09:32,638 --> 00:09:33,873
Now hoisted up.

200
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:35,041
Falcon arrow.

201
00:09:36,776 --> 00:09:38,711
[Booker] Roxanne is out.
[Vic] Into another cover.

202
00:09:38,778 --> 00:09:39,712
[Booker] She's out.

203
00:09:40,112 --> 00:09:42,648
[Vic] No, she's not, Book.
[Booker] That's instinct.

204
00:09:42,815 --> 00:09:45,251
[Booker] That's all instinct.
[Vic] Davenport can't believe it.

205
00:09:47,119 --> 00:09:49,322
[man] Watch the hair, Blair.
Watch the hair.

206
00:09:50,489 --> 00:09:52,124
[Vic] What's now, Davenport?

207
00:09:52,858 --> 00:09:53,893
Oh!

208
00:09:54,527 --> 00:09:57,496
We've seen those devastating knee strikes
and a second one.

209
00:09:57,563 --> 00:10:00,366
[Booker] Hey, Vic.
Roxanne's in a bad place.

210
00:10:00,666 --> 00:10:02,768
[Vic] Leveling Perez.
[Booker] That's it.

211
00:10:03,102 --> 00:10:04,737
[Vic] And Davenport [bell ringing]

212
00:10:04,804 --> 00:10:06,973
[Vic] will pick up the victory.
[Booker] Wow.

213
00:10:07,039 --> 00:10:09,442
[announcer] Here is your winner,
Blair Davenport!

214
00:10:09,508 --> 00:10:11,143
[Blair Davenport's music playing]

215
00:10:11,410 --> 00:10:12,311
[Crowd booing]

216
00:10:12,979 --> 00:10:16,215
[Vic] You talked about instincts.
I don't know if Roxanne Perez,

217
00:10:16,282 --> 00:10:19,285
was still 100% in this matchup

218
00:10:19,352 --> 00:10:21,821
after taking the knee
into the steel steps.

219
00:10:21,887 --> 00:10:23,522
This is when the trouble started.

220
00:10:23,789 --> 00:10:24,624
Poor Perez.

221
00:10:25,091 --> 00:10:27,360
As you said, steel… don't give.

222
00:10:27,426 --> 00:10:29,261
To follow it up, bam!

223
00:10:30,963 --> 00:10:33,666
A vicious knee strike,
and you saw the eyes of Perez.

224
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:36,602
Then to follow it up,
that was the second knee strike

225
00:10:37,136 --> 00:10:39,038
after a falcon arrow.

226
00:10:39,105 --> 00:10:39,939
[bell ringing]

227
00:10:40,006 --> 00:10:44,310
It took all that for Davenport
to put down Perez.

228
00:10:44,377 --> 00:10:46,245
[Booker] You can't take anything away from
Blair Davenport.

229
00:10:46,312 --> 00:10:48,314
She was just the better person tonight.

230
00:10:48,781 --> 00:10:49,815
She's won this match.

231
00:10:49,882 --> 00:10:52,385
[Vic] Well, the locker room
has been put on notice.

232
00:10:57,156 --> 00:10:59,659
Ivy Nile, tonight
The Creed Brothers face The Dyad

233
00:10:59,725 --> 00:11:01,794
in the biggest match of their career.

234
00:11:02,194 --> 00:11:04,096
The losing team leaves NXT.

235
00:11:05,831 --> 00:11:09,435
I'm really nervous, but Julius and Brutus
are focused more than ever.

236
00:11:10,436 --> 00:11:11,771
Why accept the challenge?

237
00:11:12,438 --> 00:11:14,373
You know, I asked them the same thing.

238
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:17,176
Schism is a very poisonous
and dangerous group

239
00:11:17,243 --> 00:11:18,811
and they need to be eliminated.

240
00:11:18,978 --> 00:11:21,580
They're powerful enough to take over NXT.

241
00:11:21,647 --> 00:11:22,481
[woman shouting]

242
00:11:22,982 --> 00:11:23,816
Excuse me…

243
00:11:24,016 --> 00:11:27,086
McKenzie, but why are you talking to her

244
00:11:27,253 --> 00:11:31,590
when last week the center of the universe
successfully defended the NXT

245
00:11:31,757 --> 00:11:33,859
women's championship for the first time?

246
00:11:34,126 --> 00:11:35,161
I'll give you a hint.

247
00:11:35,394 --> 00:11:36,529
You shouldn't be.

248
00:11:36,595 --> 00:11:37,797
Successful title?

249
00:11:37,997 --> 00:11:40,332
Tiffany, everyone saw you tap out.

250
00:11:41,033 --> 00:11:42,401
Everyone saw me tap out?

251
00:11:42,768 --> 00:11:43,602
I'm sorry.

252
00:11:43,803 --> 00:11:45,037
Did the ref see it?

253
00:11:45,438 --> 00:11:46,272
Didn't think so.

254
00:11:46,839 --> 00:11:49,075
So not everyone saw me tap out.

255
00:11:49,408 --> 00:11:53,345
Well, if I was in there, you bet your ass
the whole world would see you tap out.

256
00:11:54,547 --> 00:11:56,015
Don't you've somewhere to be?

257
00:11:56,582 --> 00:11:58,050
Lucky for you, I do.

258
00:12:00,286 --> 00:12:02,088
When they lose, she goes too, right?

259
00:12:02,421 --> 00:12:05,458
Actually, only Julius and Brutus
just like The Dyad to Schism.

260
00:12:10,096 --> 00:12:14,200
[Vic] Here's main event still to come
here on NXT.

261
00:12:14,633 --> 00:12:16,435
[Mustafa Ali's music playing]

262
00:12:22,208 --> 00:12:23,042
[Bell ringing]

263
00:12:23,109 --> 00:12:26,045
[announcer] The following contest's
scheduled for one fall.

264
00:12:26,112 --> 00:12:30,649
Introducing first, Mustafa Ali.

265
00:12:32,017 --> 00:12:36,822
[Vic] How about that reaction
from the NXT universe for Mustafa Ali?

266
00:12:40,726 --> 00:12:43,262
Ali taking time to soak it all in.

267
00:12:43,963 --> 00:12:48,934
He has to answer a lot of questions since
his refereeing debut two weeks ago.

268
00:12:49,368 --> 00:12:51,937
He's going one-on-one
with Tyler Bate next.

269
00:12:58,377 --> 00:12:59,612
[Corbin] The truth is--

270
00:12:59,779 --> 00:13:01,914
[Vic] he shoots, he doesn't miss.

271
00:13:02,081 --> 00:13:03,649
[Corbin] last Tuesday sucked.

272
00:13:04,216 --> 00:13:06,018
[Vic] Hayes retains.

273
00:13:06,485 --> 00:13:10,222
[Corbin] I didn't walk out of there
the NXT champion like I thought i would.

274
00:13:11,457 --> 00:13:12,725
Now I'm embarrassed.

275
00:13:13,325 --> 00:13:14,627
And I'm pissed off.

276
00:13:15,561 --> 00:13:20,332
I miscalculated experience
and the nostalgia of the lone wolf.

277
00:13:20,666 --> 00:13:22,168
And I thought it'd be enough.

278
00:13:24,436 --> 00:13:26,605
I've got everything I want.

279
00:13:26,672 --> 00:13:29,341
The money, the fame, the family.

280
00:13:30,576 --> 00:13:33,245
What I don't have… is the reputation.

281
00:13:35,714 --> 00:13:37,883
I'm seen as consistent,

282
00:13:38,250 --> 00:13:39,084
safe,

283
00:13:39,518 --> 00:13:40,352
good.

284
00:13:42,021 --> 00:13:42,855
Good?

285
00:13:43,422 --> 00:13:45,491
Are you kidding me with good?

286
00:13:46,492 --> 00:13:50,796
What I want is to be feared and respected.

287
00:13:51,764 --> 00:13:54,166
I want people to say
"who's next for Corbin?",

288
00:13:54,366 --> 00:13:56,101
not "who's Corbin…

289
00:13:56,869 --> 00:13:57,970
…going to be next?".

290
00:13:58,971 --> 00:14:01,540
I understand to dictate my future,

291
00:14:02,474 --> 00:14:04,043
I can't bank on the past.

292
00:14:05,110 --> 00:14:06,111
I have to kill it.

293
00:14:07,546 --> 00:14:09,582
I don't need anyone bowing down to me,

294
00:14:09,648 --> 00:14:11,483
I don't want a position of authority.

295
00:14:11,550 --> 00:14:15,287
It doesn't matter if I have pockets,
or what's inside.

296
00:14:16,188 --> 00:14:18,958
I damn sure I don't need a manager.

297
00:14:19,024 --> 00:14:21,927
and I haven't worked eight long years

298
00:14:21,994 --> 00:14:23,996
to go all the way back to the beginning.

299
00:14:26,699 --> 00:14:29,335
Burn all the ships.

300
00:14:31,604 --> 00:14:32,838
I can't go back.

301
00:14:33,505 --> 00:14:35,174
There's no going back.

302
00:14:35,574 --> 00:14:36,842
It's no more gimmicks,

303
00:14:37,343 --> 00:14:38,277
no nonsense,

304
00:14:40,446 --> 00:14:42,281
no bullshit.

305
00:14:46,785 --> 00:14:50,522
[Vic] Well, looks like we haven't seen
the last of Baron Corbin here in NXT.

306
00:14:50,990 --> 00:14:52,424
[Tyler Bate's music playing]

307
00:14:55,794 --> 00:14:59,665
[announcer] His opponent, Tyler Bate.

308
00:15:03,168 --> 00:15:06,805
[Vic] Typically this row would say
something about friendly competition.

309
00:15:07,373 --> 00:15:10,542
I just don't think it applies
here tonight.

310
00:15:10,609 --> 00:15:12,911
[Booker] These guys, Vic,
they make me laugh.

311
00:15:12,978 --> 00:15:15,214
I look at Tyler Bate,
he want to be somebody.

312
00:15:15,281 --> 00:15:17,616
I look at Wes Lee,
he wants to be somebody.

313
00:15:17,683 --> 00:15:19,318
But then I look at Mustafa Ali.

314
00:15:19,385 --> 00:15:23,088
We might as well call Mustafa Ali
the player.

315
00:15:23,155 --> 00:15:24,723
Because he played Wes Lee.

316
00:15:25,157 --> 00:15:27,059
He played this young man, Tyler Bate.

317
00:15:27,126 --> 00:15:28,494
Because you know why?

318
00:15:28,961 --> 00:15:29,929
It's about checks,

319
00:15:29,995 --> 00:15:31,864
it's about championships.

320
00:15:32,064 --> 00:15:33,799
[Vic] What did a wise man once said

321
00:15:35,100 --> 00:15:37,069
a while ago, don't hate the player.

322
00:15:37,136 --> 00:15:38,270
[Booker] Hate the game.

323
00:15:38,437 --> 00:15:41,340
[Vic] When it comes to Tyler Bate,
usually he is centered.

324
00:15:41,407 --> 00:15:44,343
He does his meditation, but he sees red

325
00:15:44,410 --> 00:15:46,111
when he sees Mustafa Ali.

326
00:15:46,178 --> 00:15:47,913
There's blockage in his chi, man.

327
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:49,481
There's blockage in his chi.

328
00:15:49,548 --> 00:15:52,484
[Booker] Can I give this young man
in that locker room a little advice?

329
00:15:52,551 --> 00:15:56,922
Don't trust anybody from smackdown or raw.

330
00:15:56,989 --> 00:15:59,425
Because you know why? They want your spot.

331
00:15:59,491 --> 00:16:01,460
They want your job. Okay?

332
00:16:02,127 --> 00:16:03,462
[Vic] It's hard to argue with you

333
00:16:03,796 --> 00:16:06,398
as Ali now finally locking up
here with Bate.

334
00:16:06,465 --> 00:16:09,935
Look, Tyler Bate,
there's a different look in his eye.

335
00:16:10,002 --> 00:16:11,236
And he has had a gripe

336
00:16:11,303 --> 00:16:15,374
with the way Ali officiated
the North American championship match

337
00:16:15,441 --> 00:16:16,275
two weeks ago.

338
00:16:16,342 --> 00:16:18,077
We sat here and we watched it.

339
00:16:18,143 --> 00:16:19,278
There was fast counts,

340
00:16:19,345 --> 00:16:21,847
there was… sometimes,
there was no counts.

341
00:16:22,014 --> 00:16:24,516
He even slapped Wes Lee,
did Ali, right in the face.

342
00:16:24,583 --> 00:16:26,785
[Booker] We got a capable referee
in the the ring

343
00:16:26,852 --> 00:16:28,887
that's going to have the wherewithal
and understanding

344
00:16:28,954 --> 00:16:31,423
and know how to make sure
he does the right thing.

345
00:16:31,857 --> 00:16:33,892
And I'm highly anticipating this matchup.

346
00:16:34,259 --> 00:16:37,162
[Vic] We talked about
the North American champion, Wes Lee.

347
00:16:37,229 --> 00:16:40,232
It was Tyler Bate who wanted
another opportunity to face Lee,

348
00:16:40,299 --> 00:16:41,467
he said so last week.

349
00:16:41,767 --> 00:16:43,902
Mustafa Ali disagreed.

350
00:16:43,969 --> 00:16:46,638
So, who do you side with
in that altercation?

351
00:16:46,805 --> 00:16:50,008
[Booker] I don't side with anyone.
Don't put me in that box, Vic.

352
00:16:50,175 --> 00:16:54,046
My thing is I'm unbiased
when it comes to sitting at this table.

353
00:16:54,113 --> 00:16:55,247
I don't care who wins.

354
00:16:55,314 --> 00:16:56,782
[Vic] Since when? Crucifix!

355
00:16:56,849 --> 00:16:59,752
Shoulders down, Ali's looking for
the win, not able to get one.

356
00:16:59,818 --> 00:17:02,388
There goes Tyler Bate,
the unorthodox style going around.

357
00:17:02,454 --> 00:17:03,288
Shoulders down.

358
00:17:03,355 --> 00:17:05,391
Now it's time of Ali,
and another kick out.

359
00:17:05,457 --> 00:17:08,427
And we got a little bit of a stalemate
between these two.

360
00:17:08,494 --> 00:17:10,763
[Booker] Highly anticipated
in this matchup.

361
00:17:10,829 --> 00:17:13,665
Just because that Big Strong Boi,
he's taking on a guy,

362
00:17:13,732 --> 00:17:16,668
in Mustafa Ali,
who has been to that next level.

363
00:17:16,735 --> 00:17:21,040
And now he's back to take food out of
the mouth of this young man, Tyler Bate.

364
00:17:21,807 --> 00:17:24,209
[Vic] I know that was wise
there of Mustafa Ali.

365
00:17:24,276 --> 00:17:26,945
Didn't want to get into a test of strength
with the Big Strong Boi.

366
00:17:27,012 --> 00:17:28,180
[Booker] Smart. Smart.

367
00:17:28,247 --> 00:17:31,784
[Vic] Now Bate's trying to navigate
this way free in this situation.

368
00:17:31,850 --> 00:17:35,120
-[Vic] And certainly--
-[Booker] Smooth. Smootth, Vic.

369
00:17:35,187 --> 00:17:36,755
[Vic] Is that out of the Booker T
playbook?

370
00:17:36,822 --> 00:17:37,856
[Booker] Oh, yes.

371
00:17:38,457 --> 00:17:41,126
[Vic] Now Ali,
trying to counter in his own right.

372
00:17:41,860 --> 00:17:44,596
We knew this was going to be
a highly-contested matchup

373
00:17:44,663 --> 00:17:46,799
between these two superstars here tonight.

374
00:17:47,099 --> 00:17:48,133
[Booker] Ali is good.

375
00:17:48,200 --> 00:17:49,935
[Vic] I want to go back to Ali
for a second.

376
00:17:50,002 --> 00:17:54,206
Do you think he had a little bit too much
fun with the power he had as referee?

377
00:17:54,273 --> 00:17:55,841
Let's get you on record here.

378
00:17:55,908 --> 00:18:00,312
[Booker] Vic, I said it last week,
he was in no place at being a referee

379
00:18:00,379 --> 00:18:01,947
in a matchup like that.

380
00:18:02,014 --> 00:18:03,081
But he got the spot.

381
00:18:03,148 --> 00:18:06,018
You got two guys grudging, you go out
there and make a fool out of him.

382
00:18:06,085 --> 00:18:07,019
That's what he did.

383
00:18:07,419 --> 00:18:10,322
[Vic] Oh, right back in.
Uh! And it's not often you see--

384
00:18:10,389 --> 00:18:11,657
[Booker] Oh, beautiful.

385
00:18:11,723 --> 00:18:15,360
[Vic] Somebody mock Tyler Bate
the way that Ali just did.

386
00:18:15,561 --> 00:18:17,129
If the pace starts to quicken,

387
00:18:17,196 --> 00:18:20,032
it might go into the favor
of the Big Strong Boi going up.

388
00:18:20,099 --> 00:18:23,802
Oh, nice counter backslide,
and just able to get a one count.

389
00:18:23,869 --> 00:18:25,571
Referee a little out of position.

390
00:18:25,637 --> 00:18:29,174
This time Bate sitting down,
and wow! Counter by Ali again.

391
00:18:29,241 --> 00:18:33,679
Shoulders are down, the referee working
a little bit of OT here in this matchup.

392
00:18:33,745 --> 00:18:35,547
And another backslide.

393
00:18:36,682 --> 00:18:39,618
Again, another near fall,
and a nice takedown.

394
00:18:39,685 --> 00:18:43,222
A little sidestep action, and
able to counter, but goes right back down.

395
00:18:43,288 --> 00:18:45,390
Another cover,
another pinning predicament.

396
00:18:45,457 --> 00:18:48,060
[Vic] Finally, Tyler Bate trying to--
[Booker] Wow.

397
00:18:48,127 --> 00:18:49,094
[Vic] Counter for counter.

398
00:18:49,161 --> 00:18:50,195
[Booker] I love it.

399
00:18:50,596 --> 00:18:52,231
Beautiful action right here.

400
00:18:53,532 --> 00:18:54,766
[Vic] Looking to counter.

401
00:18:54,833 --> 00:18:57,469
Into a crossface, and what a submission.

402
00:18:57,536 --> 00:19:01,406
-[Vic] What a transition for Mustafa Ali.
-[Booker] I like that, Vic.

403
00:19:01,473 --> 00:19:03,742
Beautiful, beautiful transition
right here.

404
00:19:03,809 --> 00:19:05,911
Going back and forth between the two.

405
00:19:05,978 --> 00:19:10,449
[Vic] Wait a minute, how about a counter
of a crossface into an ankle lock?

406
00:19:10,983 --> 00:19:13,852
Ali trying desperately,
finally able to kick his way free.

407
00:19:13,919 --> 00:19:15,654
[Booker] Oh, yes. Another stalemate.

408
00:19:15,988 --> 00:19:18,657
[Vic] You talked to me
before this matchup early today

409
00:19:18,724 --> 00:19:22,628
that these were two evenly matched
superstars in your hall of fame eyes.

410
00:19:22,694 --> 00:19:24,630
[Booker] No. No. I look at Tyler Bate,

411
00:19:24,696 --> 00:19:26,131
and I look at Mustafa Ali,

412
00:19:26,198 --> 00:19:28,367
a guy, like I said,
who's been to that next level.

413
00:19:28,534 --> 00:19:31,603
This is going to be
the contest of all contests.

414
00:19:31,670 --> 00:19:35,541
Do not think Tyler Bate, for one second,
can't win this match.

415
00:19:36,508 --> 00:19:37,743
Trust me. He's that good.

416
00:19:37,976 --> 00:19:40,879
[Vic] Well, Bate has worn gold in NXT
on several occasions.

417
00:19:40,946 --> 00:19:41,780
[Booker] Yes.

418
00:19:41,847 --> 00:19:44,049
[Vic] Ali would love to earn
some gold himself,

419
00:19:44,116 --> 00:19:48,720
he's made his intentions known towards
the North American Championship,

420
00:19:48,787 --> 00:19:52,024
-[Vic] and that's going to sting.
-[crowd shouting and cheering]

421
00:19:52,357 --> 00:19:55,427
[Booker] That's Mustafa Ali's
motive of operandi, Vic.

422
00:19:55,494 --> 00:19:57,596
He's not here just to play games.

423
00:19:57,663 --> 00:19:59,398
He wants a championship around his waist

424
00:19:59,464 --> 00:20:01,266
because we know about that championship.

425
00:20:01,333 --> 00:20:03,902
It gives you that cloak of invincibility!

426
00:20:04,369 --> 00:20:05,204
Oh, yes!

427
00:20:05,370 --> 00:20:06,605
[Vic] Nice dropkick.

428
00:20:07,039 --> 00:20:13,312
Ali is rocked, and now we see Tyler Bate
a little extra motivated in this matchup.

429
00:20:14,112 --> 00:20:18,050
We talk about usually the calm demeanor
from the Big Strong Boi,

430
00:20:18,116 --> 00:20:20,652
but he is anything, but here tonight.

431
00:20:20,953 --> 00:20:25,557
[Booker laughing] Taking Mustafa Ali
on a little ride, Vic.

432
00:20:25,824 --> 00:20:27,993
[crowd cheering]

433
00:20:29,061 --> 00:20:32,998
[Vic] Oh! Another takedown by Tyler Bate.

434
00:20:33,065 --> 00:20:34,233
Bate is rolling.

435
00:20:34,433 --> 00:20:37,035
Can he continue the momentum here tonight?

436
00:20:42,507 --> 00:20:47,846
[Vic] Back on NXT, Tyler Bate, Mustafa Ali
has turned into an absolute slug fest.

437
00:20:47,913 --> 00:20:51,283
During the break, Ali
was actually questioning the official,

438
00:20:51,583 --> 00:20:54,119
stating he did a better job officiating.

439
00:20:54,286 --> 00:20:58,256
As Tyler Bate's able turn things around
in this matchup, in this moment,

440
00:20:58,323 --> 00:20:59,858
but Ali's able to escape.

441
00:21:00,926 --> 00:21:01,760
Oh!

442
00:21:02,127 --> 00:21:05,130
You know what Bate was looking for,
a little bop and bang.

443
00:21:05,197 --> 00:21:07,366
-[Booker] Scouted, scouted, Vic.
-[Vic] Didn't get it.

444
00:21:07,432 --> 00:21:08,333
Oh, no, he did.

445
00:21:09,268 --> 00:21:10,502
He certainly got it.

446
00:21:10,769 --> 00:21:14,673
Cover, count, and Ali's able to kick out
at two.

447
00:21:14,740 --> 00:21:16,541
[Booker] Was that the bop and bang?

448
00:21:16,842 --> 00:21:17,876
[Vic] Bop and bang.

449
00:21:18,176 --> 00:21:22,114
During the break, we want to focus on
some of this action that took place. Bam!

450
00:21:22,714 --> 00:21:25,784
Devastating DDT from Mustafa Ali,

451
00:21:26,084 --> 00:21:28,920
and then as you just talked
about moments ago, bang!

452
00:21:30,489 --> 00:21:31,990
That bop and bang caught Ali

453
00:21:32,057 --> 00:21:35,527
which now has set up, maybe,
the Tyler driver 97.

454
00:21:35,594 --> 00:21:36,728
Is he going to go down?

455
00:21:36,795 --> 00:21:38,830
-[Booker] Wow.
-[Vic] Able to counter. Oh!

456
00:21:39,765 --> 00:21:40,932
He felt that one.

457
00:21:40,999 --> 00:21:42,200
Nice takedown by Ali.

458
00:21:42,267 --> 00:21:45,704
Ali's able to step through
and go into another submission.

459
00:21:45,771 --> 00:21:48,340
[Booker] Ali's been rock solid tonight.
He's on point.

460
00:21:48,407 --> 00:21:50,876
Everything right now
is working to perfection.

461
00:21:51,043 --> 00:21:53,679
[Vic] Look at the torque of the knee
on Tyler Bate.

462
00:21:53,745 --> 00:21:55,147
This is locked in deep.

463
00:21:55,380 --> 00:21:57,249
Look at Bate's face. Look at his face.

464
00:21:57,316 --> 00:21:59,284
[Booker] Not just the knee,
but the lower back.

465
00:21:59,351 --> 00:22:01,086
Now he's just grinding that face.

466
00:22:01,153 --> 00:22:02,521
[Vic] Is Bate turning blue?

467
00:22:02,587 --> 00:22:03,422
[Booker] My god!

468
00:22:03,488 --> 00:22:04,956
[Vic] Able to try to fight
his way through is Bate.

469
00:22:05,023 --> 00:22:07,092
Now Bate's trying to get back to his feet.

470
00:22:07,159 --> 00:22:07,993
Oh no, no, no.

471
00:22:08,060 --> 00:22:09,961
Look at Tyler Bate able to counter.

472
00:22:10,462 --> 00:22:11,630
Is he able to hoist?

473
00:22:11,697 --> 00:22:14,099
[Booker] Trying to get back to the base.
Oh! Wow.

474
00:22:14,166 --> 00:22:15,000
[Vic] Is he able to hoist up Ali?

475
00:22:15,434 --> 00:22:17,436
Big… Strong… Boi.

476
00:22:17,669 --> 00:22:19,538
[crowd cheering]

477
00:22:22,174 --> 00:22:24,109
[Vic] Round and round it goes,

478
00:22:24,176 --> 00:22:26,178
when it ends, only Tyler Bate knows. DDT!

479
00:22:26,244 --> 00:22:28,447
-[Booker] Wow.
-[Vic] How the hell did Ali counter that?

480
00:22:31,583 --> 00:22:36,154
Ali able to drape his arm over on Bate.

481
00:22:36,221 --> 00:22:39,858
[Booker] Never seen Ali better,
he's on top of his game here tonight, Vic.

482
00:22:39,925 --> 00:22:43,628
I'm going to tell you, this victory,
if he can pull it off, will set him up.

483
00:22:43,895 --> 00:22:44,730
Oh, yes.

484
00:22:46,598 --> 00:22:47,499
[Vic] Boom.

485
00:22:47,566 --> 00:22:52,237
Nice counter by Ali,
and both have put Wes Lee on notice.

486
00:22:52,304 --> 00:22:55,540
We saw last week Lee
wanted no part in the argument

487
00:22:55,707 --> 00:22:56,975
between the two.

488
00:22:57,209 --> 00:23:03,615
As Ali and Bate are settling this
one-on-one here on NXT.

489
00:23:03,682 --> 00:23:05,584
[Booker] Ali thought that was it, Vic.

490
00:23:05,650 --> 00:23:08,754
Ali thought that big DDT
was the coup d'etat,

491
00:23:08,820 --> 00:23:13,091
but this man, the Big Strong Boi,
he still has a lot left in the tank.

492
00:23:15,927 --> 00:23:19,297
[Vic] Nasty landing, Ali was able to land
somewhat on his feet,

493
00:23:19,364 --> 00:23:22,434
but finally got wiped out
by a flying Tyler Bate.

494
00:23:25,036 --> 00:23:26,304
Bate feeling it now.

495
00:23:26,371 --> 00:23:28,006
[Crowd chanting "Big Strong Boi"]

496
00:23:28,073 --> 00:23:29,775
[Vic] There's the NXT universe. Oh!

497
00:23:30,575 --> 00:23:32,310
[Booker] There again, a step ahead.

498
00:23:32,377 --> 00:23:34,346
[Vic] That would've been good
from 70 yards.

499
00:23:34,413 --> 00:23:35,580
And this time it's Ali

500
00:23:36,148 --> 00:23:37,416
going right through Bate.

501
00:23:39,751 --> 00:23:42,621
[Booker] You can tell Ali's
on another level here tonight.

502
00:23:42,854 --> 00:23:46,925
[Vic] We knew this would be highly
contested as go-- catching.

503
00:23:46,992 --> 00:23:48,026
[Booker] Oh, yes!

504
00:23:48,827 --> 00:23:50,662
-[Vic] Dropping.
-[Booker] That's it!

505
00:23:52,631 --> 00:23:54,232
[Vic] No, it is not.

506
00:23:54,433 --> 00:23:55,634
[Booker] Wow, so close.

507
00:23:55,700 --> 00:23:59,771
[Vic] What a match here tonight on NXT.

508
00:23:59,838 --> 00:24:01,606
[Booker] Not the time to freak,
Tyler Bate.

509
00:24:01,673 --> 00:24:03,442
You need to keep your feet moving, son.

510
00:24:03,608 --> 00:24:05,243
You need to keep the hammer down.

511
00:24:08,113 --> 00:24:10,115
[Vic] I don't know what sort of
sound effect you'd had

512
00:24:10,182 --> 00:24:12,451
for that last clothesline
after bop and bang,

513
00:24:12,684 --> 00:24:13,752
but Tyler Bate now…

514
00:24:14,085 --> 00:24:16,121
is just hoisting up trying to overpower--

515
00:24:16,188 --> 00:24:17,622
[Booker] Wow, the strength.

516
00:24:17,689 --> 00:24:19,591
[Vic] Ali, and not to be outdone…

517
00:24:19,925 --> 00:24:20,792
…one more time.

518
00:24:23,762 --> 00:24:26,565
This is the Tyler Bate
that doesn't seem centered.

519
00:24:27,132 --> 00:24:30,936
It seems almost that his universe
has shifted a little bit.

520
00:24:31,002 --> 00:24:34,039
As Bate is to the top looking down,

521
00:24:34,306 --> 00:24:37,375
hasn't taken his eyes off of Ali,

522
00:24:37,442 --> 00:24:39,945
and Ali didn't take his eyes off of Bate.

523
00:24:40,645 --> 00:24:42,848
Just able to move at the last moment.

524
00:24:42,914 --> 00:24:45,217
[Booker] I get it, Vic.
Let it all hang out.

525
00:24:45,283 --> 00:24:47,752
If you're going to go for it,
go for the big shot.

526
00:24:47,819 --> 00:24:49,287
Go for that kill shot.

527
00:24:49,354 --> 00:24:51,890
Just didn't work out for that young man,
Tyler Bate.

528
00:24:51,957 --> 00:24:55,327
[Vic] Ali might've heard you, because Ali
now has positioned himself

529
00:24:55,527 --> 00:24:56,628
on the top rope.

530
00:24:57,996 --> 00:24:59,231
Bate's able to counter.

531
00:25:00,599 --> 00:25:04,202
Hate to say it, I want to say it again,
but what a match between these two

532
00:25:04,503 --> 00:25:05,604
here on July 4th.

533
00:25:05,670 --> 00:25:08,440
[Booker] Like I say, Tyler Bate
is definitely showing me a whole lot

534
00:25:08,506 --> 00:25:11,476
because he's in there
in the middle of the ring with a man

535
00:25:11,543 --> 00:25:14,980
of the caliber of Mustafa Ali
who's been to the top of the mountain.

536
00:25:16,715 --> 00:25:19,784
-[Vic] Talking about to the top.
-[Booker] Oh, yes.

537
00:25:20,452 --> 00:25:22,687
Teetering. He's teetering, Vic.

538
00:25:23,221 --> 00:25:24,823
[Crowd chants "Big Strong Boi"]

539
00:25:27,225 --> 00:25:29,427
[Vic] Both men… and Bate…

540
00:25:33,331 --> 00:25:35,533
…is tying to keep his balance.

541
00:25:37,302 --> 00:25:38,537
[Booker] Veteran move.

542
00:25:38,603 --> 00:25:39,671
Veteran move.

543
00:25:39,738 --> 00:25:40,805
Veteran move.

544
00:25:40,872 --> 00:25:41,873
Veteran move, Vic.

545
00:25:43,575 --> 00:25:45,410
-[Vic] Call it what you want, Booker.
-[Booker] That's a veteran move.

546
00:25:45,477 --> 00:25:47,913
[Vic] But Ali just said
there can only be one.

547
00:25:48,513 --> 00:25:49,347
Boom.

548
00:25:49,414 --> 00:25:50,849
[Booker] Oh, yes.

549
00:25:51,883 --> 00:25:53,385
[referee] One, two, three.

550
00:25:53,451 --> 00:25:55,687
[Vic] 45 for the victory.
[Bell ringing]

551
00:25:55,754 --> 00:25:56,788
[Mustafa Ali's music playing]

552
00:25:56,855 --> 00:26:00,659
[announcer] Here is your winner…
Mustafa Ali.

553
00:26:01,226 --> 00:26:02,160
[Booker] Beautiful.

554
00:26:03,361 --> 00:26:04,462
Beautiful, Vic.

555
00:26:05,463 --> 00:26:09,634
[Vic] You question the intentions of Ali
several weeks ago,

556
00:26:09,868 --> 00:26:13,238
I think we're just starting to see the
true intentions-- bam!

557
00:26:13,638 --> 00:26:16,441
of Mustafa Ali throughout this matchup,

558
00:26:16,508 --> 00:26:20,979
including what happened just before
that 450 from the top.

559
00:26:21,613 --> 00:26:23,748
[Booker] This man is ready for primetime.

560
00:26:23,815 --> 00:26:26,251
I'm talking about championships.
I'm talking about checks.

561
00:26:26,318 --> 00:26:29,287
I'm talking about Mustafa.
Oh, my god, man.

562
00:26:29,688 --> 00:26:31,389
It is time, my friend.

563
00:26:31,790 --> 00:26:36,194
I am challenging you to a match for
the North American Championship

564
00:26:36,261 --> 00:26:39,331
at The Great American Bash. Yeah!

565
00:26:40,098 --> 00:26:42,467
[Vic] Booker, the intentions
are known now.

566
00:26:42,534 --> 00:26:44,302
Are you going to get off the fence?

567
00:26:44,369 --> 00:26:46,538
[Booker] I told you. Didn't I tell you?

568
00:26:46,871 --> 00:26:48,840
[Booker] Didn't I tell you?
[Vic] Why are you touching me?

569
00:26:49,140 --> 00:26:51,309
-Why are you touching me?
-Ali is going to the next level, dawg.

570
00:26:51,376 --> 00:26:52,310
Where's your jacket?

571
00:26:53,345 --> 00:26:55,046
-I'm hyped up, dawg.
-I can tell.

572
00:26:55,113 --> 00:26:56,314
I'm ready for some action.

573
00:26:56,514 --> 00:26:59,317
It's the 4th of July.
I'm going to the beach tonight.

574
00:26:59,384 --> 00:27:02,220
All right, well,
you need to take a second to get a prep

575
00:27:02,287 --> 00:27:04,990
because we got to talk about
what Mustafa Ali just did.

576
00:27:05,056 --> 00:27:08,193
Challenging for The Great American Bash
coming your way July 30th.

577
00:27:08,259 --> 00:27:11,763
Tickets are available right now,
ticketmaster.com.

578
00:27:11,830 --> 00:27:14,566
But in all seriousness,
our backstage correspondent,

579
00:27:14,633 --> 00:27:18,236
McKenzie Mitchell, is standing by with
Joe Gacy and Ava.

580
00:27:18,303 --> 00:27:23,975
[Music]

581
00:27:24,042 --> 00:27:28,546
Joe Gacy, why did you push The Dyad
into a loser leaves NXT match tonight?

582
00:27:29,648 --> 00:27:31,883
McKenzie, I did no such thing.

583
00:27:31,950 --> 00:27:34,052
I'd never push a member of The Schism

584
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:36,888
anything I knew their hearts
were not ready for.

585
00:27:37,088 --> 00:27:40,258
Jagger and Rip are two integral roots
in The Schism's tree.

586
00:27:40,592 --> 00:27:44,629
After tonight, The Creed Brothers
will finally be gone from NXT forever.

587
00:27:45,664 --> 00:27:48,166
Tonight the right team will win.

588
00:27:48,233 --> 00:27:52,337
And the outcome of the match
will only strengthen The Schism.

589
00:27:52,804 --> 00:27:55,306
Joe, I'm sorry, what do you mean
by the right team?

590
00:27:55,540 --> 00:27:57,776
McKenzie, what do you think he means
by the right team?

591
00:27:57,842 --> 00:28:00,345
Has he not always done what's right
for our family?

592
00:28:01,379 --> 00:28:02,947
Ava, it's okay.

593
00:28:03,715 --> 00:28:06,518
McKenzie, it's quite simple.

594
00:28:07,152 --> 00:28:08,153
Tonight…

595
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:10,822
we eliminate…

596
00:28:11,222 --> 00:28:12,223
a problem…

597
00:28:12,724 --> 00:28:13,925
from NXT.

598
00:28:15,593 --> 00:28:16,661
Forever!

599
00:28:24,536 --> 00:28:26,705
[Tatum Paxley's music playing]

600
00:28:26,771 --> 00:28:28,673
[Vic] Welcome back to NXT.

601
00:28:29,774 --> 00:28:30,608
[Bell ringing]

602
00:28:30,909 --> 00:28:33,645
[announcer] The following contest
is scheduled for one-fall.

603
00:28:33,712 --> 00:28:36,715
Introducing first, Tatum Paxley.

604
00:28:36,881 --> 00:28:38,416
[Tatum Paxley's music playing]

605
00:28:41,152 --> 00:28:45,356
[Vic] NXT Universe still doesn't know
what to think about Tatum paxley.

606
00:28:45,724 --> 00:28:48,059
[Kelani Jordan's music playing]

607
00:28:54,165 --> 00:29:00,038
[announcer] And her opponent,
accompanied by Dana Brooke, Kelani Jordan.

608
00:29:00,638 --> 00:29:03,208
[Vic] Are you ready, Book?

609
00:29:03,808 --> 00:29:06,544
Not alone, Dana Brooke by her side.

610
00:29:06,611 --> 00:29:09,647
Wisely seeking out Dana Brooke
last Tuesday,

611
00:29:09,814 --> 00:29:13,551
as Paxley looks on at Jordan
coming into the ring.

612
00:29:13,618 --> 00:29:15,620
You talk about an athelete.

613
00:29:16,087 --> 00:29:19,557
Three-time MVP
and captain on the gymnastics team

614
00:29:19,624 --> 00:29:21,826
at Michigan State University.

615
00:29:21,893 --> 00:29:26,731
Dispart also, by the way,
five-time Academic All-American.

616
00:29:27,365 --> 00:29:29,033
You talk about a total package,

617
00:29:29,100 --> 00:29:31,836
we could be looking at the future
here in NXT

618
00:29:31,903 --> 00:29:33,171
because, at the end of the day,

619
00:29:33,438 --> 00:29:36,374
Jordan is still an aspiring superstar

620
00:29:36,441 --> 00:29:38,276
-[Vic] in NXT.
-[Booker] Yes. Yes.

621
00:29:38,343 --> 00:29:39,944
[Vic] Did you look in the eyes of Paxley
by the way?

622
00:29:40,011 --> 00:29:40,845
[Bell ringing]

623
00:29:41,346 --> 00:29:43,181
[Booker] Tatum Paxley
is a little different, Vic.

624
00:29:43,248 --> 00:29:44,482
She's a little different.

625
00:29:44,549 --> 00:29:46,851
We'll see exactly what she has tonight,
but back to your point.

626
00:29:47,585 --> 00:29:49,721
Look at Jordan,
she definitely's something,

627
00:29:49,788 --> 00:29:52,690
but having Dana Brooke in her corner,
that's that little extra

628
00:29:52,924 --> 00:29:54,592
something that she may need tonight.

629
00:29:54,659 --> 00:29:55,994
[Vic] Oh, looking for the quick victory.

630
00:29:56,060 --> 00:29:58,730
Certainly, that would be considered
an upset here for Jordan,

631
00:29:58,797 --> 00:30:01,466
has been receiving a lot lot of praise
from peers

632
00:30:01,533 --> 00:30:04,035
and coaches inside the performance center.

633
00:30:04,102 --> 00:30:07,071
[Booker] She's had some great performances
being so young into the business.

634
00:30:07,138 --> 00:30:09,107
Both of these ladies are so young
into this business.

635
00:30:09,174 --> 00:30:12,343
That's what's so intriguing
about this matchup tonight.

636
00:30:12,410 --> 00:30:14,078
It's about moving up the ladder.

637
00:30:14,846 --> 00:30:17,248
[Vic] Kelani Jordan, of course,
made her NXT debut

638
00:30:17,315 --> 00:30:19,951
in the number one Contender's Battle Royal
several weeks ago,

639
00:30:20,018 --> 00:30:22,320
how about what's coming up
in a matter of moments?

640
00:30:22,387 --> 00:30:25,156
-[Vic] NXT underground, Thorpe and Kemp.
-[Booker] Yes!

641
00:30:25,223 --> 00:30:26,824
[Vic] It is going to be a fight.

642
00:30:27,058 --> 00:30:30,562
Booker, as you like to say,
"let these boys throw them hands".

643
00:30:30,628 --> 00:30:32,764
[Booker] Pull out the six-ounce gloves,
man.

644
00:30:32,831 --> 00:30:35,099
[Vic] Up and over.
This is that gymnastics background.

645
00:30:35,166 --> 00:30:36,668
-[Vic] Take a look at Jordan.
-[Booker] Wow.

646
00:30:37,168 --> 00:30:39,971
[Vic] Your eyebrow just perked up.
Nice dropkick as well.

647
00:30:40,205 --> 00:30:41,773
[Booker] That was quick as a hiccup.

648
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:43,675
[Vic] Another takedown.

649
00:30:43,741 --> 00:30:46,444
Again, something that's always been said
about Jordan.

650
00:30:46,511 --> 00:30:48,012
She is a sponge.

651
00:30:48,446 --> 00:30:51,282
She loves to absorb the knowledge
of anyone around her

652
00:30:51,349 --> 00:30:54,519
so she can get better day in and day out,
and that's why I think

653
00:30:54,586 --> 00:30:57,856
it's very crucial to have someone
like Dana Brooke on the outside.

654
00:30:57,922 --> 00:30:59,257
Someone who's been a veteran.

655
00:30:59,324 --> 00:31:00,158
[Booker] Having a mentor.

656
00:31:00,425 --> 00:31:04,796
I don't mind having a mentor,
having friends, having buddies,

657
00:31:04,862 --> 00:31:09,901
I do not believe in that concept
because it's a recipe for disaster, baby.

658
00:31:10,068 --> 00:31:10,969
[Vic] Oh.

659
00:31:11,035 --> 00:31:13,004
Well, talk about a recipe for disaster,

660
00:31:13,071 --> 00:31:17,308
the first ingredient might've been
that nasty back elbow by Paxley,

661
00:31:17,375 --> 00:31:20,578
who certainly is going to have
the strength advantage

662
00:31:20,645 --> 00:31:23,448
in this matchup as we see it on display

663
00:31:23,915 --> 00:31:25,183
with that backbreaker.

664
00:31:25,250 --> 00:31:27,418
[Booker] Not just the strength, Vic,
the experience factor definitely

665
00:31:27,485 --> 00:31:28,586
going to come into play.

666
00:31:28,653 --> 00:31:30,521
-[Vic] True.
-[Booker] The in-ring IQ.

667
00:31:30,588 --> 00:31:32,624
Paxley definitely's to have the advantage.

668
00:31:32,690 --> 00:31:33,725
[Vic] Into a cover, hook of the leg,
and Jordan

669
00:31:34,025 --> 00:31:35,860
able to get that left shoulder up
and free.

670
00:31:36,928 --> 00:31:39,464
[Booker] One thing about being young
in this business, Vic,

671
00:31:39,631 --> 00:31:43,301
you think in your mind
that you're better than you actually are.

672
00:31:43,368 --> 00:31:45,603
You think you can actually go out there
and get it done.

673
00:31:45,670 --> 00:31:48,706
That might be the one thing
that propels you to that moment.

674
00:31:50,174 --> 00:31:53,845
[Vic] We've talked about Paxley,
a superstar who is so hard to read,

675
00:31:53,911 --> 00:31:56,948
has that loner mentality these days.

676
00:31:57,015 --> 00:31:59,984
Almost echoing the point you've just
talked about of not needing friends.

677
00:32:00,051 --> 00:32:01,619
[Booker] Look, Vic.
I like that loner mentality.

678
00:32:01,853 --> 00:32:04,589
Everybody that has that mentality,

679
00:32:04,656 --> 00:32:06,858
they make it to the top of this business.

680
00:32:06,925 --> 00:32:08,459
And that's what it's all about.

681
00:32:08,526 --> 00:32:10,995
[Vic] There's a lot of people
that are clapping their hands for Jordan,

682
00:32:11,062 --> 00:32:12,163
that are getting behind Jordan.

683
00:32:12,230 --> 00:32:14,098
[Booker] Yes, Vic. You can see it.
You can see it in Jordan's eyes

684
00:32:14,165 --> 00:32:17,635
that this is something a little different
than she's seen before.

685
00:32:17,702 --> 00:32:19,704
-[Crowd chants "Jordan"]
-[Booker] This is just businness, Vic.

686
00:32:20,271 --> 00:32:21,139
Oh, wow.

687
00:32:21,205 --> 00:32:22,173
[Vic] Nice stunner.

688
00:32:22,640 --> 00:32:25,243
Able to turn inside out.
Is that going to be enough?

689
00:32:25,310 --> 00:32:27,278
Could we be on the verge of an upset?

690
00:32:27,345 --> 00:32:28,513
-[Vic] Yes.
-[Bell ringing]

691
00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:30,515
-[Kelani Jordan's music playing]
-[Booker] Wow.

692
00:32:30,715 --> 00:32:33,851
[announcer] Here is your winner,
Kelani Jordan.

693
00:32:34,285 --> 00:32:35,420
-[Booker] Didn't I tell you?
-[Vic] What a win!

694
00:32:35,486 --> 00:32:37,989
[Booker] Didn't I tell you?
I said I saw something.

695
00:32:38,256 --> 00:32:41,559
I said that it factor. Didn't I say it?

696
00:32:41,893 --> 00:32:43,928
[Vic] Yes. Well, you did.
Take a look again.

697
00:32:44,162 --> 00:32:45,496
Almost out of nowhere.

698
00:32:45,563 --> 00:32:48,099
Boom! Dropping Paxley.

699
00:32:49,967 --> 00:32:51,769
How good it must feel.

700
00:32:52,203 --> 00:32:56,507
Singles debut on NXT, going one-on-one
with someone like Tatum Paxley,

701
00:32:56,574 --> 00:32:57,775
to pick up a win,

702
00:32:57,842 --> 00:33:00,845
and then to share this moment
with Dana Brooke,

703
00:33:00,912 --> 00:33:03,715
-[Vic] the sky could be the--
-[announcer] …the Generation of Jade.

704
00:33:04,182 --> 00:33:05,016
[Vic] Oh, yes.

705
00:33:05,750 --> 00:33:07,719
Well, why not just ruin the moment?

706
00:33:07,785 --> 00:33:08,853
[Cora Jade's music playing]

707
00:33:08,920 --> 00:33:12,790
-[Vic] Here comes the resident mean girl.
-[Booker] Bad little sister.

708
00:33:12,857 --> 00:33:14,392
[crowd booing]

709
00:33:14,792 --> 00:33:16,461
Aw, Kelani…

710
00:33:17,195 --> 00:33:20,198
Congrats on your first victory
here on NXT.

711
00:33:22,100 --> 00:33:25,503
[Cora] You must be doing something right
if you already have Dana Booker

712
00:33:25,570 --> 00:33:26,604
in your corner.

713
00:33:27,271 --> 00:33:28,973
Gymnasts sticking together.

714
00:33:29,507 --> 00:33:30,575
How cute.

715
00:33:31,509 --> 00:33:33,411
I know you're new here and everything,

716
00:33:33,478 --> 00:33:36,614
so let me say this real slow for you.

717
00:33:37,248 --> 00:33:39,083
A friend of Dana Brooke

718
00:33:39,484 --> 00:33:41,319
is an enemy of mine.

719
00:33:41,386 --> 00:33:42,220
[crowd shouting]

720
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:45,656
[Cora] I don't need friends,
I don't need mentors,

721
00:33:45,823 --> 00:33:48,693
and I certainly don't need any of you.

722
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:50,161
[crowd shouting and booing]

723
00:33:51,329 --> 00:33:55,299
[Cora] You people have absolutely
zero effect on me,

724
00:33:55,366 --> 00:33:56,934
whatsoever.

725
00:33:57,502 --> 00:34:01,139
-[Cora] The absolute lowlifes--
-[Kelani] Okay. Okay, Cora.

726
00:34:01,706 --> 00:34:04,175
You seem hyped up and ready to go.

727
00:34:04,475 --> 00:34:06,677
Well, I have another match left in me
tonight.

728
00:34:06,878 --> 00:34:10,415
How about we settle this right here…
right now?

729
00:34:10,481 --> 00:34:12,316
[Crowd cheers]

730
00:34:12,683 --> 00:34:14,185
What do you say, Cora?

731
00:34:15,486 --> 00:34:17,822
Oh, "what do you say, Cora?"

732
00:34:18,189 --> 00:34:21,125
I say, don't tell me what to do.

733
00:34:21,926 --> 00:34:22,760
Ever.

734
00:34:23,327 --> 00:34:24,462
[Crowd booing]

735
00:34:25,763 --> 00:34:27,331
[Cora Jade's music playing]

736
00:34:30,134 --> 00:34:35,173
[Vic] Sticking to her MO, is Cora Jade,
as she walks away.

737
00:34:40,912 --> 00:34:42,814
[Chase U's music playing]

738
00:34:45,083 --> 00:34:46,584
[Chase U students chanting "welcome back"]

739
00:34:46,651 --> 00:34:48,085
[Andre] Thank you. Thank you.

740
00:34:48,319 --> 00:34:50,855
All right. All right. Settle down.
But sincerely,

741
00:34:50,922 --> 00:34:53,858
thank you guys, for the letters,
the texts, the voicemails.

742
00:34:54,225 --> 00:34:55,660
[Andre] It really, really warmed my heart.

743
00:34:55,827 --> 00:34:56,661
Thank you so much.

744
00:34:56,727 --> 00:34:58,196
[woman] Mr. Chase. I missed you so much.

745
00:34:58,262 --> 00:34:59,197
I'm so excited you're back.

746
00:34:59,263 --> 00:35:00,631
[Andre] I missed you too, but…

747
00:35:00,898 --> 00:35:02,433
before we get into today's lesson,

748
00:35:02,500 --> 00:35:04,068
there're a few people'd like to recognize,

749
00:35:04,469 --> 00:35:07,371
[Andre] starting with Chase U's MVP,
Duke Hudson.

750
00:35:08,005 --> 00:35:09,774
[Chase U students cheering]

751
00:35:10,842 --> 00:35:13,211
[Andre] In my absence, you stepped up.

752
00:35:13,511 --> 00:35:15,880
[Andre] You planned lessons,
you graded papers,

753
00:35:16,214 --> 00:35:18,382
you helped this school not just evolve,

754
00:35:18,616 --> 00:35:19,717
but thrive.

755
00:35:19,784 --> 00:35:20,885
Thank you, Duke.

756
00:35:20,952 --> 00:35:24,355
You proved why you are Chase U's MVP.

757
00:35:24,589 --> 00:35:26,858
[Chase U students chanting "MVP"]

758
00:35:27,592 --> 00:35:29,527
[Chase U students cheering and clapping]

759
00:35:32,663 --> 00:35:33,898
You can take a seat now.

760
00:35:36,868 --> 00:35:37,802
With pleasure.

761
00:35:41,005 --> 00:35:42,106
Out of my seat, Nick.

762
00:35:48,579 --> 00:35:51,616
[Andre] Secondly,
the uncrowned NXT women's champion,

763
00:35:51,949 --> 00:35:52,783
Thea Hail.

764
00:35:52,950 --> 00:35:54,252
[Chase U students cheering]

765
00:35:54,585 --> 00:35:56,387
[Andre] We all saw what you did last week.

766
00:35:56,454 --> 00:35:57,889
You made Tiffany tap out,

767
00:35:58,289 --> 00:36:00,925
and you should be sitting there
with the gold over your shoulder,

768
00:36:01,359 --> 00:36:03,294
if it wasn't for these two clowns.

769
00:36:04,395 --> 00:36:06,631
[Andre] These two've tried to poison
the young

770
00:36:06,697 --> 00:36:08,432
and impressionable minds of Chase U.

771
00:36:09,167 --> 00:36:11,269
When I saw them put their hands
on Duke Hudson,

772
00:36:12,236 --> 00:36:14,071
and I saw them threaten Thea,

773
00:36:14,572 --> 00:36:15,973
I just couldn't take it anymore.

774
00:36:19,210 --> 00:36:20,077
[Andre] Question.

775
00:36:20,711 --> 00:36:24,081
Mr. Chase, does that mean
they won't be lecturing us anymore?

776
00:36:24,282 --> 00:36:25,683
[Andre] Guest lectures. Are you--

777
00:36:25,917 --> 00:36:28,586
you know what,
some things never change around here.

778
00:36:28,653 --> 00:36:30,221
[Duke] It's okay, Mr. Chase.

779
00:36:30,621 --> 00:36:31,822
I'll take care of this one.

780
00:36:35,426 --> 00:36:37,295
Hey, how are you doing?

781
00:36:37,995 --> 00:36:40,798
Of course, there won't be
bloody guest lecturer anymore.

782
00:36:41,098 --> 00:36:43,100
What a stupid -- question.

783
00:36:43,167 --> 00:36:45,236
I don't think you'll see either of them
again

784
00:36:45,403 --> 00:36:47,872
after Mr. Chase and I are done
giving them.

785
00:36:51,876 --> 00:36:53,945
[shouting] An Andre Chase University…

786
00:36:54,111 --> 00:36:56,514
…sized ass whooping.

787
00:36:56,681 --> 00:36:57,982
[cheering]

788
00:37:01,852 --> 00:37:03,421
Damn, it feels good to be back.

00:37:04,789 --> 00:37:06,691
[Chase U students chanting "Chase U"]

790
00:37:13,631 --> 00:37:16,534
[Vic] Andre Chase nurturing
the minds of the youth

791
00:37:16,601 --> 00:37:18,202
as if he was never gone.

792
00:37:18,736 --> 00:37:22,106
There you can see, Book, our NXT crew
hard at work

793
00:37:22,173 --> 00:37:26,510
because we said this next match
was going to be a fight.

794
00:37:26,577 --> 00:37:28,212
And it's going to be just that.

795
00:37:28,679 --> 00:37:29,747
There's no ropes.

796
00:37:29,947 --> 00:37:31,515
There's going to be no excuses.

797
00:37:31,816 --> 00:37:36,721
Thorpe and Kemp enter NXT underground
next.

798

[Eddy Thorpe's music playing]

799
00:37:59,644 --> 00:38:01,078
[unintelligible talking]

800
00:38:01,279 --> 00:38:03,814
[Vic] You can feel the energy, Booker.

801
00:38:03,881 --> 00:38:06,183
Eddy Thorpe's not coming to the ring
alone.

802
00:38:06,751 --> 00:38:08,953
with an olympic gold medalist,

803
00:38:09,020 --> 00:38:10,288
Gable Steveson.

804
00:38:10,688 --> 00:38:12,290
You got to believe…

805
00:38:13,357 --> 00:38:15,693
that gives Thorpe the advantage
in this match, right?

806
00:38:15,993 --> 00:38:19,230
[Booker chuckling] To have
an Olympic-caliber athlete

807
00:38:19,297 --> 00:38:21,332
in your corner, oh, yes!

808
00:38:21,632 --> 00:38:24,568
It gives you that poke, oh, yes!

809
00:38:24,769 --> 00:38:26,437
To go out there and do something.

810
00:38:26,504 --> 00:38:27,571
And hat an athlete!

811
00:38:28,039 --> 00:38:30,608
Eddy Thorpe, this guy, is ready, man.

812
00:38:32,376 --> 00:38:35,313
[Vic] Hey, Booker, you love a good scrap,
you love a fight.

813
00:38:35,379 --> 00:38:37,615
Take a look around, there's no ropes.

814
00:38:38,149 --> 00:38:42,353
This is a matchup that Damon Kemp,
Thorpe's opponent, asked for.

815
00:38:42,420 --> 00:38:43,821
[Damon Kemp's music playing]

816
00:38:43,888 --> 00:38:45,890
[Booker] Copy that, Vic. This is mixed…

817
00:38:46,424 --> 00:38:48,159
…martial arts.

[Crowd booing]

819
00:38:53,197 --> 00:38:55,299
[Vic] Book, I noticed Kemp is in his zone.

820
00:38:55,366 --> 00:38:57,335
He went back to
the University of Minnesota.

821
00:38:57,735 --> 00:38:59,837
Does it get him the state of mind
that he needed to fight

822
00:39:00,171 --> 00:39:01,472
in NXT underground?

823
00:39:01,706 --> 00:39:03,674
[Booker] You know what I notice, Vic?

824
00:39:03,741 --> 00:39:05,976
-[Vic] What?
-[Booker] No six-ounce gloves.

825
00:39:06,143 --> 00:39:08,212
This is bare-knuckle, baby.

826
00:39:08,713 --> 00:39:10,881
Somebody's about to get knocked,

827
00:39:11,215 --> 00:39:12,049
slapped…

828
00:39:12,249 --> 00:39:13,084
…out…

[Crowd booing]

831
00:39:17,955 --> 00:39:20,391
[Vic] It's going to be rough, rugged,
and rowdy.

832
00:39:20,458 --> 00:39:22,693
Never before in NXT.

833
00:39:25,496 --> 00:39:28,933
[Booker chuckling] The atmosphere, Vic.
You could cut it with a knife.

The only way to win the match

838
00:39:41,312 --> 00:39:42,813
is by knock-out

839
00:39:42,880 --> 00:39:44,782
or submission.

840
00:39:45,583 --> 00:39:46,684

[crowd cheering and booing]

848
00:40:13,244 --> 00:40:16,247
[Vic] Again, it was Kemp who picked
the stipulation.

849
00:40:17,047 --> 00:40:17,948
No pinfalls,

850
00:40:18,749 --> 00:40:19,583
no counts.

851
00:40:19,984 --> 00:40:23,354
As you just heard from Alicia Taylor,
it's pretty simple.

852
00:40:23,521 --> 00:40:28,292
You win by knocking your opponent out
or making him say, "I quit."

853
00:40:31,429 --> 00:40:32,263
[Bell ringing]

854
00:40:32,329 --> 00:40:36,000
[Vic] Here we go, Booker.
We've never seen this before in NXT.

855
00:40:36,066 --> 00:40:38,402
This is a fight
that's right up your alley.

856
00:40:38,469 --> 00:40:40,371
[Booker] You got to love it.

857
00:40:40,438 --> 00:40:43,941
Who has the advantage in this matchup
right here, Vic?

858
00:40:44,108 --> 00:40:45,309
This is looking good.

859
00:40:46,644 --> 00:40:49,947
Great strikes,
great strikes there by Eeddy Thorpe.

860
00:40:50,014 --> 00:40:53,350
[Vic] The athletes of the performance
center surrounding the ring.

861
00:40:53,784 --> 00:40:55,319
Oh, nice takedown. And again,

862
00:40:55,386 --> 00:40:57,822
this isn't scored on points,
but there's that ground,

863
00:40:57,888 --> 00:40:59,123
there's that pound.

864
00:40:59,190 --> 00:41:02,226
[Booker] Beautiful takedown right there.
Ground-and-pound effect.

865
00:41:02,293 --> 00:41:06,096
At the same time, I thought this would be
what would happen.

866
00:41:07,631 --> 00:41:09,633
Damon Kemp going to his ground game.

867
00:41:09,867 --> 00:41:10,835
Here we go!

868
00:41:10,901 --> 00:41:13,037
[Vic] I got to point-- another takedown!

869
00:41:14,205 --> 00:41:16,841
This is right up the alley of Damon Kemp.

870
00:41:16,907 --> 00:41:18,709
[Booker] Raining down big forearms there.

871
00:41:18,776 --> 00:41:20,878
[Vic] You think about
the amateur background for Kemp

872
00:41:21,145 --> 00:41:22,213
and getting on the back.

873
00:41:22,279 --> 00:41:23,914
Right now could be looking for
a submission.

874
00:41:23,981 --> 00:41:26,951
-[Vic] Instead just going to toss.
-[Booker chortling]

875
00:41:27,017 --> 00:41:28,719
[Vic] And takedown, and you see,

876
00:41:28,786 --> 00:41:31,288
Steveson looking up in disbelief.

877
00:41:31,355 --> 00:41:33,390
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Now we get a submission.

878
00:41:33,657 --> 00:41:34,959
Referee in great position.

879
00:41:35,025 --> 00:41:36,894
[Booker] Rear-naked, Vic. He's caught.

880
00:41:36,961 --> 00:41:38,362
He's caught in it right now.

881
00:41:38,429 --> 00:41:39,730
If he can just get the hooks locked in.

882
00:41:39,797 --> 00:41:40,898
[crowd cheering]

883
00:41:41,832 --> 00:41:43,868
[Vic] Oh, nice escape, though, by Thorpe.

884
00:41:44,502 --> 00:41:46,370
You feel a different sense of energy.

885
00:41:46,437 --> 00:41:48,639
NXT Universe is into this tonight.

886
00:41:48,939 --> 00:41:50,774
Could be looking for a knockout blow.

887
00:41:50,841 --> 00:41:53,010
[Booker] Damon Kemp's going to
his basement.

888
00:41:53,077 --> 00:41:54,845
Those Minnesota boys, man.

889
00:41:54,912 --> 00:41:57,314
They're all about wrestling, man.

890
00:41:57,381 --> 00:41:59,617
There're so many of them.
So many great ones.

891
00:41:59,683 --> 00:42:01,418
Oh, it's almost over. Slipped out.

892
00:42:01,485 --> 00:42:03,554
[Vic] Nice counter.
He's able to get back somewhat.

893
00:42:03,621 --> 00:42:06,223
There's Gable screaming,
"Yes, yes. Continue to swing."

894
00:42:06,290 --> 00:42:08,425
Trying to break the grip. Back to his feet

895
00:42:08,492 --> 00:42:10,895
goes Thorpe looking for a knockout.
Nice counter by Kemp.

896
00:42:11,228 --> 00:42:15,332
[Booker] But the wrestler's background,
the power of this man.

897
00:42:15,499 --> 00:42:16,800
He's just too strong.

898
00:42:16,867 --> 00:42:19,803
He's too strong. He's too big
and too technical for Thorpe.

899
00:42:21,572 --> 00:42:24,942
[Vic] Oh, again, I think Kemp was able to
get his hands up,

900
00:42:25,009 --> 00:42:27,077
was able to knock away some of that blow,

901
00:42:27,144 --> 00:42:29,280
and finally, again, there are no ropes.

902
00:42:30,014 --> 00:42:32,283
There are no ropes.
This is going to get ugly.

903
00:42:35,019 --> 00:42:37,187
-[Booker] What are the rules, Vic?
-[Vic] There are none, Booker.

904
00:42:37,254 --> 00:42:39,890
[Vic] You either got to knock them out
or make them quit.

905
00:42:39,957 --> 00:42:40,891
That's simply put.

906
00:42:40,958 --> 00:42:44,895
[Booker] That's what I'm talking about.
Those are the rules I was looking for.

907
00:42:46,263 --> 00:42:48,165
[crowd shouting]

908
00:42:50,901 --> 00:42:51,735
[Vic] Oh!

909
00:42:52,536 --> 00:42:53,604
Again, no rules.

910
00:42:53,671 --> 00:42:55,739
That could've been a knockout blow.
Look at Kemp.

911
00:42:56,040 --> 00:42:57,808
Right on top of Thorpe.

912
00:42:57,875 --> 00:42:59,343
Right to the back of the neck.

913
00:43:01,912 --> 00:43:04,481
[Booker] This thing is about to be over
with quick, Vic.

914
00:43:04,915 --> 00:43:08,285
Talking about that fight camp that Thorpe
put together in less than a week

915
00:43:08,686 --> 00:43:10,721
I don't know if it's working at all.

916
00:43:11,255 --> 00:43:12,089
[Vic] Oh.

917
00:43:13,991 --> 00:43:15,159
You see a look of worry.

918
00:43:17,227 --> 00:43:20,631
Steveson now comes eye to eye
with Damon Kemp.

919
00:43:20,698 --> 00:43:23,033
[Booker] Come on.
Step to the side, Steveson.

920
00:43:24,001 --> 00:43:26,136
This doesn't concern you at this time.

921
00:43:26,203 --> 00:43:28,906
[Vic] This probably gave Damon Kemp
a damn who's in the way.

922
00:43:31,041 --> 00:43:33,043
He has said that Thorpe was made…

923
00:43:33,677 --> 00:43:35,079
Whoa, Whoa. Wait a minute!

924
00:43:36,046 --> 00:43:40,351
Look at Thorpe in an awkward part
of where we're at here in NXT

925
00:43:40,417 --> 00:43:42,353
between the fans and the barricade.

926
00:43:42,419 --> 00:43:44,388
But getting overpowered.

927
00:43:44,455 --> 00:43:46,857
That spine across the apron.

928
00:43:46,924 --> 00:43:50,094
[Booker] Vic, is coaching legal
in the middle of a fight.

929
00:43:50,594 --> 00:43:52,663
Come on. What the hell is going on here?

930
00:43:52,730 --> 00:43:54,632
[Vic] Everything's legal, Book,
apparently right now

931
00:43:54,698 --> 00:43:56,667
because there are only two ways to win.

932
00:43:56,734 --> 00:43:59,436
You knock him or you put him to sleep.

933
00:43:59,703 --> 00:44:00,871
[crowd shouting "Eddy"]

934
00:44:02,339 --> 00:44:04,274
[Vic] Thorpe's not able to
get back to his feet.

935
00:44:04,341 --> 00:44:05,909
This is what Kemp wanted.

936
00:44:05,976 --> 00:44:08,512
Kemp's said that Thorpe's been able to
cut corners,

937
00:44:08,579 --> 00:44:11,915
has been able to cheat to win almost.

938
00:44:12,282 --> 00:44:14,485
-[Vic] Whatever he needs is done.
-[Booker] Let me tell you something.

939
00:44:14,551 --> 00:44:16,520
[Vic] Oh, just got dropped.

940
00:44:16,587 --> 00:44:18,122
[Booker] He isn't cheating right now.

941
00:44:18,288 --> 00:44:20,257
He's running right through Thorpe.

942
00:44:20,324 --> 00:44:22,793
And that's just…
that's just plain and simple.

943
00:44:22,860 --> 00:44:25,963
Right now he's in a fight,
a fight for his life.

944
00:44:26,230 --> 00:44:29,333
Right now Eddy Thorpe is not doing
that well.

945
00:44:29,700 --> 00:44:31,568
[Vic] He knew there'd be no excuses.

946
00:44:31,869 --> 00:44:34,405
Oh, right to the midsection.
Right to the stomach.

947
00:44:34,471 --> 00:44:35,606
Trying to crack ribs.

948
00:44:35,806 --> 00:44:38,409
Right now Kemp's doing the same thing.

949
00:44:38,642 --> 00:44:39,943
[Booker] He's going back to the base.

950
00:44:40,010 --> 00:44:42,079
Just keep this man down, just ground him.

951
00:44:42,146 --> 00:44:43,247
[Vic] Trying to get around.

952
00:44:43,781 --> 00:44:44,882
Trying to cinch in.

953
00:44:44,948 --> 00:44:46,016
[Booker] Let me tell you something.

954
00:44:46,350 --> 00:44:47,785
[Vic] Trying to put to sleep.

955
00:44:47,851 --> 00:44:50,054
[Booker] If Damon Kemp can just set
the hook,

956
00:44:50,120 --> 00:44:51,221
this thing could be--

957
00:44:51,288 --> 00:44:53,924
he doesn't even have to get the elbow
under the chin.

958
00:44:53,991 --> 00:44:56,360
He can just grind Thorpe and he'll tap.

959
00:44:56,727 --> 00:44:59,263
[Vic] Thorpe's doing a nice job.
Again, Thorpe's got to break the grip.

960
00:44:59,329 --> 00:45:00,264
He's got to fight the hands.

961
00:45:00,330 --> 00:45:01,899
He's got to try to create separation.

962
00:45:01,965 --> 00:45:03,167
[Booker] Wow. Beautiful.

963
00:45:03,233 --> 00:45:05,903
[Vic] Somehow was able to throw Kemp
which has been a rarity

964
00:45:06,203 --> 00:45:07,304
in this sort of matchup.

965
00:45:08,539 --> 00:45:10,307
[Booker] Stiff shot right there.

966
00:45:11,642 --> 00:45:13,110
[Vic] Kemp seems a little rocked.

967
00:45:13,177 --> 00:45:15,112
Now it's Kemp who gets dropped.

968
00:45:17,247 --> 00:45:19,950
Referee's seeing
if Kemp is still able to go.

969
00:45:20,017 --> 00:45:21,585
Checking on Thorpe as well.

970
00:45:28,592 --> 00:45:31,462
Again, those performance center athletes
around the ring.

971
00:45:31,528 --> 00:45:33,797
Again, a nice high-angle suplex.

972
00:45:34,231 --> 00:45:36,033
Awkward landing for Kemp.

973
00:45:36,233 --> 00:45:39,603
[Booker] You got to wonder if Damon Kemp
came out of the blocks a little too quick.

974
00:45:40,270 --> 00:45:42,206
[Vic] How do you prepare for something
like this?

975
00:45:42,272 --> 00:45:44,007
[Booker] You don't prepare, Vic.
You go out there and you fight.

976
00:45:44,074 --> 00:45:47,811
and hopefully, you have the cardio
that lasts that long haul,

977
00:45:47,878 --> 00:45:49,146
get in that deep waters.

978
00:45:49,446 --> 00:45:52,049
[Vic] Big right hook from Kemp.

979
00:45:52,382 --> 00:45:55,085
Talk about putting together a camp for
Thorpe

980
00:45:55,152 --> 00:45:56,720
who again is getting coaching.

981
00:45:56,954 --> 00:45:58,188
Kemp had the same thing.

982
00:45:58,255 --> 00:46:01,725
Kemp had to put a camp together
in short notice.

983
00:46:01,792 --> 00:46:02,926
[crowd shouting "Eddy"]

984
00:46:03,127 --> 00:46:05,729
[Booker] Damon Kemp's just flying
by the seat of his pants.

985
00:46:05,896 --> 00:46:07,898
-[Booker] He knows what to do.
-[Vic] Oh! He isn't flying.

986
00:46:08,098 --> 00:46:10,067
He may be out. He may be grounded.

987
00:46:10,300 --> 00:46:11,135
[Booker] Yeah!

988
00:46:12,336 --> 00:46:13,403
Second wind, Vic.

989
00:46:13,570 --> 00:46:15,005
There's that second wind.

990
00:46:15,072 --> 00:46:18,375
[Vic] He went for that double leg,
and instead, he found thorpe's knee

991
00:46:18,442 --> 00:46:20,344
imprinted on the bottom of his jaw.

992
00:46:20,644 --> 00:46:21,478
Whoa.

993
00:46:22,212 --> 00:46:23,180
[Booker] Oh.

994
00:46:23,247 --> 00:46:24,181
[Vic] God bless.

995
00:46:24,248 --> 00:46:25,482
[Booker] Oh, my god, man.

996
00:46:31,121 --> 00:46:31,955
Wow.

997
00:46:32,022 --> 00:46:33,824
[Vic] Referee's out there to do his job.

998
00:46:33,891 --> 00:46:34,725
[Booker] Did you see that?

999
00:46:45,002 --> 00:46:47,371
[Vic] Unlike anything we've ever
witnessed.

1000
00:46:48,872 --> 00:46:51,508
Gable's trying to do anything
to fire up Thorpe.

1001
00:46:51,575 --> 00:46:53,343
[Booker] The gold medal
isn't going to help him.

1002
00:46:53,410 --> 00:46:54,411
What the hell is he thinking?

1003
00:46:54,478 --> 00:46:57,314
[Vic] I don't know what these two
were thinking signing up for this.

1004
00:46:57,481 --> 00:46:58,315
Wow!

1005
00:47:02,119 --> 00:47:06,723
Kemp just… bull rushing through some,
but just caught the post.

1006
00:47:06,957 --> 00:47:07,791
[shouting in pain]

1007
00:47:08,592 --> 00:47:09,693
[Booker] He's hurt.

1008
00:47:09,760 --> 00:47:11,061
[Vic] You hear Kemp screaming.

1009
00:47:11,128 --> 00:47:12,162
Oh!

1010
00:47:13,564 --> 00:47:15,065
Remember earlier in the match,

1011
00:47:16,166 --> 00:47:17,034
or this fight,

1012
00:47:17,501 --> 00:47:20,470
Thorpe was able to grab hold of
that left arm.

1013
00:47:20,904 --> 00:47:22,306
You got to start to wonder,

1014
00:47:23,073 --> 00:47:24,875
you heard the screams, you pointed it out.

1015
00:47:24,942 --> 00:47:26,310
[Booker] It looked like a dislocation
from here, Vic.

1016
00:47:26,376 --> 00:47:27,211
What's the condition?

1017
00:47:27,477 --> 00:47:28,345
[Booker] You can see the knot.

1018
00:47:28,412 --> 00:47:30,681
[Vic] What's the condition?
Is that shoulder dislocated?

1019
00:47:30,747 --> 00:47:33,383
He screamed when he tried
to pull back on the post.

1020
00:47:34,451 --> 00:47:36,053
Thorpe might have sensed that.

1021
00:47:36,119 --> 00:47:38,622
Gable might have told Thorpe
focus on the arm.

1022
00:47:38,822 --> 00:47:41,925
-[Vic] That is exactly what he's doing.
-[Booker] Oh, Vic.

1023
00:47:42,192 --> 00:47:44,161
[Booker] That triangle is in deep.

1024
00:47:44,461 --> 00:47:46,230
It's in deep, Vic.

1025
00:47:46,797 --> 00:47:47,831
[Vic] Cinching it in.

1026
00:47:48,599 --> 00:47:51,235
Kemp's trying to fight,
but his body gave out.

1027
00:47:51,301 --> 00:47:52,803
-[Vic] That shoulder may--
-[Booker] Looks like he might retire.

1028
00:47:52,870 --> 00:47:54,438
[Vic] if it wasn't, it certainly could be
now.

1029
00:47:54,504 --> 00:47:55,839
Elbow after elbow.

1030
00:47:56,006 --> 00:47:58,308
Raining down right on top of Kemp.

1031
00:47:58,575 --> 00:48:00,110
Referee stepped in.

1032
00:48:00,744 --> 00:48:01,945
[Bell ringing]

1033
00:48:02,012 --> 00:48:04,081
[Vic] We knew that was going to be brutal.

1034
00:48:04,381 --> 00:48:06,049
The referee stepped in.

1035
00:48:06,116 --> 00:48:08,685
for a technical knockout for Thorpe.

1036
00:48:08,986 --> 00:48:11,555
[announcer] The winner of the match
due to referee stoppage,

1037
00:48:12,389 --> 00:48:14,224
Eddy Thorpe.

1038
00:48:18,195 --> 00:48:19,062
[Booker chuckling]

1039
00:48:19,596 --> 00:48:21,732
[Vic] Damon Kemp, Booker,
was unresponsive.

1040
00:48:21,798 --> 00:48:24,301
The referee had no choice
but to call for the bell.

1041
00:48:24,368 --> 00:48:25,535
[Booker] Wow, Vic.

1042
00:48:26,436 --> 00:48:27,371
What a night.

1043
00:48:28,972 --> 00:48:31,308
[Vic] What a wild…
this wasn't even a match.

1044
00:48:31,575 --> 00:48:34,311
This was a fight as we thought
it would be.

1045
00:48:34,478 --> 00:48:36,146
-[Vic] This though--
-[Booker] Oh, wow.

1046
00:48:36,213 --> 00:48:38,215
[Vic] Did you see the neck of Thorpe?

1047
00:48:38,282 --> 00:48:41,418
Somehow he's got to be
one of the toughest guys here,

1048
00:48:41,485 --> 00:48:43,553
was able to continue to fight through.

1049
00:48:43,921 --> 00:48:45,088
We questioned the shoulder.

1050
00:48:45,389 --> 00:48:47,724
If it was not out of the socket,
it may be now,

1051
00:48:47,791 --> 00:48:49,693
but the official stepping in,

1052
00:48:50,093 --> 00:48:51,094
Kemp was out.

1053
00:48:51,395 --> 00:48:52,562
Technical knockout.

1054
00:48:53,096 --> 00:48:56,667
Look at the Olympian gold medalist
on the outside.

1055
00:48:56,900 --> 00:48:59,102
All that hard work's paying off.

1056
00:48:59,403 --> 00:49:00,671
What an absolute

1057
00:49:01,571 --> 00:49:03,273
brutal battle

1058
00:49:03,907 --> 00:49:04,741
here.

1059
00:49:10,080 --> 00:49:12,082
[woman] Get out, Gable, get out.

1060
00:49:14,117 --> 00:49:16,620
[crowd shouting "get out"]

1061
00:49:24,027 --> 00:49:25,962
[Vic] Whoa.
[Booker] What the hell is he thinking?

1062
00:49:28,765 --> 00:49:29,599
[Vic] Well…

1063
00:49:30,434 --> 00:49:32,936
The Olympian gold medalist… showing off.

1064
00:49:33,003 --> 00:49:35,272
[Booker] Welcome to the party, pal.
Welcome to the party.

1065
00:49:42,879 --> 00:49:43,714
[Vic] Oh, well.

1066
00:49:58,095 --> 00:50:00,063
[Booker laughing]

1067
00:50:05,902 --> 00:50:09,373
[Vic] 4th of July,
4th celebration roll on.

1068
00:50:12,409 --> 00:50:13,710
I still can't get over

1069
00:50:14,211 --> 00:50:15,612
what we just witnessed.

1070
00:50:16,380 --> 00:50:18,615
Underground on NXT.

1071
00:50:30,594 --> 00:50:32,562
Everyone's talking about Trick-Melo Gang.

1072
00:50:33,196 --> 00:50:35,232
Now that we've put Baron Corbin to bed,

1073
00:50:36,199 --> 00:50:38,068
Judgment Day look like they got a problem.

1074
00:50:38,135 --> 00:50:40,704
Yes. Well, it's looking like
they found a solution.

1075
00:50:40,771 --> 00:50:42,773
Look, we don't take the threats lightly.

1076
00:50:43,206 --> 00:50:46,009
We appreciate you all sending Mami
down here to give us a little warning.

1077
00:50:46,076 --> 00:50:46,910
She was looking good, though.

1078
00:50:46,977 --> 00:50:48,779
-But she wasn't really saying nothing.
-Nothing.

1079
00:50:49,513 --> 00:50:50,981
Look, I'm going to tread lightly.

1080
00:50:51,748 --> 00:50:54,451
because Damian Priest has got that money
in the bank contract

1081
00:50:55,352 --> 00:50:56,353
and nobody's safe.

1082
00:50:57,154 --> 00:50:59,956
But it's a different ballgame
when you're trying to ball

1083
00:51:00,290 --> 00:51:01,124
in our court.

1084
00:51:01,191 --> 00:51:02,492
Tell them what we're going to do.

1085
00:51:03,927 --> 00:51:05,862
We invite all of Judgment Day

1086
00:51:06,163 --> 00:51:07,697
to come to NXT

1087
00:51:08,498 --> 00:51:09,800
and follow through on that threat.

1088
00:51:10,033 --> 00:51:11,034
"Dirty" Dom too.

1089
00:51:11,334 --> 00:51:12,269
Because over here,

1090
00:51:12,936 --> 00:51:13,870
we're the judge,

1091
00:51:14,638 --> 00:51:15,505
we're the jury,

1092
00:51:16,106 --> 00:51:17,374
and the executioners.

1093
00:51:17,941 --> 00:51:20,143
You all want to go toe-to-toe
with Trick-Melo Gang?

1094
00:51:21,211 --> 00:51:22,579
That's going to be your judgment day.

1095
00:51:23,213 --> 00:51:24,181
That's all it is.

1096
00:51:24,614 --> 00:51:26,483
And that is all it's going to be.

1097
00:51:27,784 --> 00:51:29,186
[Jacy Jayne's music playing]

1098
00:51:29,252 --> 00:51:31,188
[Vic] Looks like Melo and Trick
still have some business

1099
00:51:31,354 --> 00:51:32,456
with judgment day.

1100
00:51:35,358 --> 00:51:36,259
[Bell ringing]

1101
00:51:36,326 --> 00:51:39,196
[announcer] The following contest
is scheduled for one fall.

1102
00:51:39,563 --> 00:51:43,033
Introducing first, Jacy Jayne.

1103
00:51:44,201 --> 00:51:47,370
[Vic] Well, Jayne has talked herself
into a corner.

1104
00:51:48,004 --> 00:51:51,308
She continued to run her mouth last week.

1105
00:51:52,042 --> 00:51:54,611
Jayne goes one-on-one with Valkyria.

1106
00:51:54,678 --> 00:51:57,214
This matchup is next on NXT.

1107
00:52:09,493 --> 00:52:11,127
Stacks, what the hell happened last week?

1108
00:52:11,495 --> 00:52:14,164
I know. Gallus's team
are still tag team champions.

1109
00:52:14,598 --> 00:52:16,199
[Tony] No, the other thing.

1110
00:52:16,633 --> 00:52:19,202
-The other thing?
-[Tony] The damn tape, Stacks.

1111
00:52:19,269 --> 00:52:20,337
Don't play dumb with me.

1112
00:52:20,670 --> 00:52:22,172
The tape? What tape?

1113
00:52:22,706 --> 00:52:23,840
I didn't tape anyone.

1114
00:52:24,241 --> 00:52:26,209
Listen, I cut a great deal
for the both of us.

1115
00:52:26,843 --> 00:52:28,044
A deal with who?

1116
00:52:34,951 --> 00:52:35,785
Tony.

1117
00:52:37,287 --> 00:52:38,455
Long time no see.

1118
00:52:39,723 --> 00:52:41,558
[Tony] Stacks, tell me
I'm not seeing things.

1119
00:52:41,625 --> 00:52:43,026
You made a deal with a rat?

1120
00:52:43,393 --> 00:52:45,328
Are you kidding me?
What the hell is the matter with you?

1121
00:52:45,629 --> 00:52:47,731
No, Don, I would never betray you.

1122
00:52:48,498 --> 00:52:50,000
When Joe was in the trunk for--

1123
00:52:52,936 --> 00:52:54,237
…a long time.

1124
00:52:54,771 --> 00:52:56,506
Joe and I came to a little arrangement.

1125
00:52:56,840 --> 00:52:58,642
Next week it's going to be Joe versus me.

1126
00:52:58,975 --> 00:53:01,378
If I win, the charges against you
are dropped

1127
00:53:01,578 --> 00:53:04,814
and the D'Angelo family gets a shot
at the NXT tag team titles.

1128
00:53:05,182 --> 00:53:06,917
Yes, yes. But if I win,

1129
00:53:08,285 --> 00:53:09,786
you're going to stay locked up

1130
00:53:10,287 --> 00:53:11,421
at least until your trial.

1131
00:53:12,355 --> 00:53:14,357
From what my sources tell me,

1132
00:53:15,058 --> 00:53:15,926
conviction

1133
00:53:16,493 --> 00:53:17,394
is a guarantee,

1134
00:53:18,562 --> 00:53:19,396
[Joe] and you

1135
00:53:19,629 --> 00:53:20,463
will be away

1136
00:53:20,697 --> 00:53:22,032
for a long

1137
00:53:22,265 --> 00:53:23,099
time.

1138
00:53:26,670 --> 00:53:28,772
[clearing his throat] You agreed to this?

1139
00:53:29,673 --> 00:53:30,507
Uh?

1140
00:53:31,474 --> 00:53:32,542
[shouting] Answer me.

1141
00:53:32,609 --> 00:53:33,443
[chuckling]

1142
00:53:34,244 --> 00:53:35,745
It was his idea.

1143
00:53:36,179 --> 00:53:37,347
[chuckling]

1144
00:53:37,581 --> 00:53:39,216
What are you thinking?

1145
00:53:39,583 --> 00:53:40,884
You think you can beat him?

1146
00:53:40,951 --> 00:53:42,752
In another three-on-one situation?

1147
00:53:42,819 --> 00:53:43,720
You're going to do that?

1148
00:53:44,020 --> 00:53:45,255
[Stacks] What? Now you're doubting me?

1149
00:53:45,689 --> 00:53:48,391
I can't make any decisions on my own,
I got to run them through you?

1150
00:53:49,059 --> 00:53:50,160
[Stacks] Since you've been locked up,

1151
00:53:50,360 --> 00:53:51,328
business is good.

1152
00:53:51,561 --> 00:53:52,729
Envelopes are full.

1153
00:53:52,796 --> 00:53:54,431
The Underboss is making moves.

1154
00:53:56,700 --> 00:53:59,102
I can't believe you would do this to me.

1155
00:53:59,169 --> 00:54:00,337
You were like a brother to me

1156
00:54:00,403 --> 00:54:02,672
and then you're going to sell me out
to this dude

1157
00:54:02,739 --> 00:54:04,841
-and the rest of his rat friends?
-[man] Do you have a problem, D'Angelo?

1158
00:54:06,543 --> 00:54:08,345
[angry] God!

1159
00:54:11,581 --> 00:54:12,482
[Stacks] You're in here.

1160
00:54:13,650 --> 00:54:14,784
This was my decision.

1161
00:54:16,286 --> 00:54:17,420
You're going to have to live with it.

1162
00:54:19,489 --> 00:54:20,323
Goodbye, Don.

1163
00:54:30,200 --> 00:54:31,368
Goodbye, Don.

1164
00:54:32,369 --> 00:54:34,904
[Chuckles]

1165
00:54:42,912 --> 00:54:44,914
[muttering]

1166
00:54:52,055 --> 00:54:57,394
[Lyra Valkyria's music playing]

1167
00:55:08,738 --> 00:55:13,310
[announcer] Making her way to the ring,
Lyra Valkyria.

1168
00:55:14,344 --> 00:55:16,713
[Vic] We talked about it
before the break, Book.

1169
00:55:16,780 --> 00:55:18,615
Lyra Valkyria stepped up

1170
00:55:19,082 --> 00:55:21,685
and punched Jayne right in the mouth
last week

1171
00:55:21,751 --> 00:55:24,187
land then said, "I don't play games".

1172
00:55:25,455 --> 00:55:27,190
[Booker chuckling] You know what?

1173
00:55:27,357 --> 00:55:30,593
She is… She isn't taking no mess,
I like that.

1174
00:55:31,161 --> 00:55:31,995
Right now,

1175
00:55:32,529 --> 00:55:35,332
what I got to say to this young lady,

1176
00:55:35,398 --> 00:55:36,499
welcome to the party!

1177
00:55:36,900 --> 00:55:38,802
Because this is rockstar time, baby.

1178
00:55:38,868 --> 00:55:41,337
Jacy Jayne is in the house.

1179
00:55:41,504 --> 00:55:42,806
Oh, yes.

1180
00:55:45,709 --> 00:55:47,344
[Vic] Jacy Jayne continuing to talk

1181
00:55:47,410 --> 00:55:48,445
and her mouth has gotten her in

1182
00:55:48,511 --> 00:55:50,280
-trouble time and time again.
-[bell ringing]

1183
00:55:50,346 --> 00:55:52,549
[Vic] When you talk about Lyra Valkyria,

1184
00:55:52,782 --> 00:55:53,950
you talk about those…

1185
00:55:54,017 --> 00:55:57,487
that have positive things to say that
usually don't have positive things to say

1186
00:55:57,554 --> 00:56:00,457
such as NXT women's champion,
Tiffany Stratton

1187
00:56:00,523 --> 00:56:02,092
talking about just how tough she is.

1188
00:56:02,325 --> 00:56:06,730
Rhea Ripley, speaking of champions,
saying that Valkyria brings it.

1189
00:56:07,697 --> 00:56:09,332
[Booker] I like this matchup right here.

1190
00:56:09,399 --> 00:56:12,168
Valkyria stepped on the scene
back in December

1191
00:56:12,235 --> 00:56:15,238
and she's been focused on climbing
that ladder.

1192
00:56:15,305 --> 00:56:17,841
She wants championships in her life, Vic.

1193
00:56:17,907 --> 00:56:19,309
-[Vic] Valkyria--
-[Booker] Wow.

1194
00:56:19,375 --> 00:56:21,144
[Vic] … has brought the storm to NXT.

1195
00:56:22,145 --> 00:56:25,548
Maybe Jayne is scared of the clouds
that are starting to form.

1196
00:56:25,815 --> 00:56:26,816
Here in the skies.

1197
00:56:26,883 --> 00:56:27,717
[Booker] I don't know about that.

1198
00:56:27,951 --> 00:56:32,055
Jacy Jayne's got that what we call the
it factor, Vic.

1199
00:56:32,422 --> 00:56:33,723
She's like the wind.

1200
00:56:33,790 --> 00:56:36,226
You can feel her, but you can't touch her,

1201
00:56:36,292 --> 00:56:37,861
but you know she's that.

1202
00:56:38,628 --> 00:56:41,397
[Vic] Well, back at Valkyria,
who just ran over Jayne,

1203
00:56:41,464 --> 00:56:44,434
believes that all champions
have to overcome obstacles,

1204
00:56:44,768 --> 00:56:46,669
and her opponent tonight
truly is just that,

1205
00:56:46,736 --> 00:56:48,138
it's another obstacle

1206
00:56:48,204 --> 00:56:50,039
in the way of Lyra Valkyria

1207
00:56:50,273 --> 00:56:51,808
from soaring to the top

1208
00:56:52,075 --> 00:56:53,576
of the NXT women's division.

1209
00:56:53,643 --> 00:56:56,012
[Booker] A nice transition there
about Valkyria,

1210
00:56:56,279 --> 00:56:57,781
she's very technical,

1211
00:56:57,981 --> 00:57:01,050
Vic, and she's sound just about
in every department.

1212
00:57:01,117 --> 00:57:02,685
That's what I like about Valkyria.

1213
00:57:02,886 --> 00:57:04,287
[Vic] Oh, trying to hyperextend--
[Booker] Wow, beautiful.

1214
00:57:04,354 --> 00:57:05,655
[Vic] -that elbow, another takedown.

1215
00:57:05,722 --> 00:57:08,324
Look, I know you talk about
the rockstar mentality,

1216
00:57:08,391 --> 00:57:11,694
you talk about Jacy Jayne,
positive things to say, simply put,

1217
00:57:11,761 --> 00:57:13,930
Valkyria is tired of being talked down to.

1218
00:57:13,997 --> 00:57:15,231
What would you've done

1219
00:57:15,298 --> 00:57:18,835
if someone like Jacy Jayne was badmouthing
you to the rest of the locker room?

1220
00:57:18,902 --> 00:57:20,737
You would have done the same damn thing,
Book.

1221
00:57:20,804 --> 00:57:22,238
[Booker] No, you want to throw
the first punch like I say--

1222
00:57:22,305 --> 00:57:24,407
[Vic] I've heard the stories, Book.
I've heard the stories.

1223
00:57:24,474 --> 00:57:25,809
[Booker] -if you knock them out fine.

1224
00:57:25,875 --> 00:57:27,777
But that's what this thing is all about.

1225
00:57:27,844 --> 00:57:30,747
Being in that locker room,
it's a dog-eat-dog world.

1226
00:57:30,814 --> 00:57:32,148
-[Booker] Trust me.
-This is my ring!

1227
00:57:32,749 --> 00:57:35,885
[Vic] There you see that fire
from Jacy Jayne.

1228
00:57:36,453 --> 00:57:40,056
All of Jayne's issues
really have been self-inflicted.

1229
00:57:40,123 --> 00:57:43,660
Her current state, things she has said,
turned her back on Gigi Dolin.

1230
00:57:43,726 --> 00:57:45,795
And there's really one person to blame.

1231
00:57:45,862 --> 00:57:46,696
It's herself.

1232
00:57:46,763 --> 00:57:48,731
Jacy Jayne's been to the top, baby.

1233
00:57:49,098 --> 00:57:52,135
She knows exactly what checks
and championships are all about.

1234
00:57:52,302 --> 00:57:55,104
She knows what the treatment feels like,
Vic.

1235
00:57:55,171 --> 00:57:57,740
When you get it, just one time,

1236
00:57:58,208 --> 00:57:59,742
you want more.

1237
00:57:59,809 --> 00:58:01,544
[Vic] Oh, another cover, shoulders down,

1238
00:58:01,611 --> 00:58:03,613
Jayne's able to kick out at once.

1239
00:58:03,680 --> 00:58:05,715
-[Vic] And right back in on the offense.
-[Booker] Wow.

1240
00:58:05,782 --> 00:58:09,419
Nice dropkick by Valkyria
who does such a great job

1241
00:58:09,486 --> 00:58:11,354
of being able to alter herself

1242
00:58:11,421 --> 00:58:14,424
in mid-air and one more--
oh, got caught this time.

1243
00:58:15,091 --> 00:58:15,925
Got caught.

1244
00:58:16,192 --> 00:58:17,060
And now Jayne.

1245
00:58:17,493 --> 00:58:19,128
Oh, face first!

1246
00:58:19,529 --> 00:58:20,763
Goes Valkyria.

1247
00:58:21,197 --> 00:58:22,932
Jacy Jayne in control.

1248
00:58:22,999 --> 00:58:25,902
Can Valkyria bounce back here on NXT?

1249
00:58:29,572 --> 00:58:33,209
[Vic] Back on NXT, Jacy Jayne right now
bending Valkyria in half,

1250
00:58:33,276 --> 00:58:34,577
looking for a submission,

1251
00:58:34,777 --> 00:58:36,679
and what it would feel for Jayne

1252
00:58:36,913 --> 00:58:38,515
to make Valkyria tap,

1253
00:58:38,748 --> 00:58:39,883
to say I quit,

1254
00:58:40,049 --> 00:58:41,718
to submit here tonight.

1255
00:58:42,118 --> 00:58:45,488
[Booker] This lady right here, Jacy Jayne,
she's a rock star.

1256
00:58:45,555 --> 00:58:47,757
She has that it factor and to get a win…

1257
00:58:48,157 --> 00:58:50,994
over this lady, Valkyria, would be huge.

1258
00:58:51,060 --> 00:58:52,362
[Vic] Able to counter.

1259
00:58:52,529 --> 00:58:53,830
What leg strength.

1260
00:58:53,897 --> 00:58:57,000
[Booker] Jacy Jayne's just going to
sit back just a little bit.

1261
00:58:57,066 --> 00:58:58,268
She could've got a victory
out of that right there, Vic.

1262
00:58:58,334 --> 00:58:59,168
[Vic] Wait, a roll though.

1263
00:58:59,235 --> 00:59:02,472
Speaking of victories…
oh, Valkyria almost able to secure one

1264
00:59:02,772 --> 00:59:04,908
in her own right as charging right back,

1265
00:59:04,974 --> 00:59:07,377
maybe looking for a crucifix,
countering into something else.

1266
00:59:07,443 --> 00:59:09,379
Shoulders are down one more time,
another near fall.

1267
00:59:09,779 --> 00:59:11,281
Jayne now-- Oh!

1268
00:59:11,614 --> 00:59:13,750
what I was going to say is off her game,

1269
00:59:13,816 --> 00:59:16,386
but what a kick to the face.

1270
00:59:16,452 --> 00:59:18,254
[Booker] One step ahead, Vic, right here.

1271
00:59:18,321 --> 00:59:19,756
She shouldn't waste any time.

1272
00:59:19,822 --> 00:59:23,192
I think she needs to pounce on Valkyria
to get a victory.

1273
00:59:23,259 --> 00:59:25,395
[Vic] If there's one thing the menace
knows how to do,

1274
00:59:25,461 --> 00:59:27,664
it is to put a boot to a face,
but nobody home

1275
00:59:27,931 --> 00:59:29,165
on the cannonball,

1276
00:59:29,399 --> 00:59:31,801
and Valkyria's starting to rise.

1277
00:59:36,472 --> 00:59:37,507
This is Valkyria,

1278
00:59:37,707 --> 00:59:39,442
why the Rhea Ripleys of the world,

1279
00:59:39,509 --> 00:59:42,845
even the Tiffany Stratton have said
that she is the real deal.

1280
00:59:42,912 --> 00:59:44,480
Look at the combination,
look at the strength,

1281
00:59:44,547 --> 00:59:45,381
look at the precision,

1282
00:59:45,448 --> 00:59:50,920
look at Valkyria continue to bring
the offensive onslaught in this match.

1283
00:59:51,220 --> 00:59:54,290
[Booker] Look at Valkyria right now
that walk, the look in the eyes, Vic.

1284
00:59:55,158 --> 01:00:00,797
It tells a story that she's ready, willing
and able to move up.

1285
01:00:00,863 --> 01:00:03,266
and a win over Jayce Jayne would be huge.

1286
01:00:03,666 --> 01:00:06,469
[Vic] Jayce Jayne's talking about
Valkyria not having thick skin.

1287
01:00:06,536 --> 01:00:07,804
[Booker] Beautiful. Beautiful.

1288
01:00:07,870 --> 01:00:09,706
[Vic] Valkyria certainly proving that
and more.

1289
01:00:09,772 --> 01:00:12,141
Another cover, referee in great position,

1290
01:00:12,208 --> 01:00:15,578
and momentarily Jayne was able to get
her foot on the rope.

1291
01:00:15,645 --> 01:00:17,347
Referee made a great call.

1292
01:00:17,647 --> 01:00:19,782
Valkyria, though, tried to get the win.

1293
01:00:19,949 --> 01:00:21,017
Jayne able to kick out.

1294
01:00:21,084 --> 01:00:23,519
This time through the air connects.

1295
01:00:25,021 --> 01:00:29,258
Didn't work earlier in the matchup,
but going back to the well, was Valkyria.

1296
01:00:29,325 --> 01:00:31,728
[Booker] Right now Valkyria is letting
it all hang out, Vic.

1297
01:00:31,794 --> 01:00:33,129
Right now she can smell it.

1298
01:00:33,196 --> 01:00:35,298
She's so close to a victory.

1299
01:00:35,365 --> 01:00:39,502
This could be that one kill shot that--
Oh, no!

1300
01:00:40,103 --> 01:00:41,771
[Vic] Had it scouted. Jayne now,

1301
01:00:42,238 --> 01:00:43,940
senton connects.

1302
01:00:44,707 --> 01:00:46,442
Cover in her own right for the win,

1303
01:00:46,509 --> 01:00:49,212
and Valkyria fighting through,
showing you that heart.

1304
01:00:49,278 --> 01:00:52,415
[Booker] So close. Jayce Jayne
almost got a victory right there.

1305
01:00:52,749 --> 01:00:54,417
So close. So close.

1306
01:00:55,151 --> 01:00:55,985
Here we go.

1307
01:00:56,886 --> 01:00:58,921
[Vic] Jayne was looking for
a big kick counter.

1308
01:00:58,988 --> 01:01:00,656
Oh, and a kick in her own right.

1309
01:01:00,723 --> 01:01:03,059
[Booker] Educated feet right there
by Valkyria.

1310
01:01:03,493 --> 01:01:04,827
[Vic] And Valkyria now,

1311
01:01:05,228 --> 01:01:08,097
looking for maybe that knockout blow!

1312
01:01:10,800 --> 01:01:12,201
This time for Valkyria…

1313
01:01:12,468 --> 01:01:13,302
pays off.

1314
01:01:13,369 --> 01:01:14,904
-[Booker] Wow.
-[Bell ringing]

1315
01:01:15,238 --> 01:01:16,572
[Valkyria's music playing]

1316
01:01:16,773 --> 01:01:20,043
[announcer] Here is your winner,
Lyra Valkyria.

1317
01:01:21,811 --> 01:01:25,415
[Vic] Soaring once more
over the battlefield of NXT.

1318
01:01:26,015 --> 01:01:26,883
[crowd booing]

1319
01:01:26,949 --> 01:01:28,184
[Vic] What a cheap shot.

1320
01:01:28,451 --> 01:01:29,685
What a sore loser.

1321
01:01:30,153 --> 01:01:31,020
[Crowd boos]

1322
01:01:46,135 --> 01:01:50,540
[Vic] Book, Jayne's destroying
those sacred feathers.

1323
01:01:52,341 --> 01:01:54,177
[unintelligible]

1324
01:01:56,179 --> 01:01:58,114
[Booker] Sometimes
it's not just about the fight, Vic,

1325
01:01:58,581 --> 01:01:59,782
but the aftermath.

1326
01:02:00,716 --> 01:02:03,553
[Vic] Despicable display by Jayne.

1327
01:02:06,155 --> 01:02:06,989
Hello.

1328
01:02:07,356 --> 01:02:08,291
Hello, hello.

1329
01:02:08,958 --> 01:02:09,792
It's me.

1330
01:02:10,326 --> 01:02:11,928
It's so good to see you.

1331
01:02:12,795 --> 01:02:14,363
You look perfect, as always.

1332
01:02:15,364 --> 01:02:17,033
Look, I miss you so much.

1333
01:02:17,433 --> 01:02:19,702
Life is so difficult without you.

1334
01:02:19,969 --> 01:02:21,104
Nothing is the same.

1335
01:02:21,471 --> 01:02:23,039
With you, I felt…

1336
01:02:23,406 --> 01:02:25,108
[euphoric] solid beyond belief.

1337
01:02:25,875 --> 01:02:28,678
And now…Now,
everyone just reminds me of you.

1338
01:02:29,145 --> 01:02:30,079
I dream about you

1339
01:02:30,546 --> 01:02:32,014
every single night.

1340
01:02:33,082 --> 01:02:34,717
I even talk to you in my sleep.

1341
01:02:35,151 --> 01:02:37,820
I leave gaps
where you're going to respond.

1342
01:02:39,288 --> 01:02:40,990
See, I'm going crazy.

1343
01:02:41,524 --> 01:02:42,959
You said it would be forever.

1344
01:02:43,359 --> 01:02:44,660
I need you back in my life.

1345
01:02:45,094 --> 01:02:45,928
You…

1346
01:02:47,697 --> 01:02:49,732
You… complete me.

1347
01:02:55,638 --> 01:02:57,573
I've got supernova sessions next week

1348
01:02:58,207 --> 01:03:00,176
and I don't know how I'm going to do it
without you.

1349
01:03:01,177 --> 01:03:04,447
-Yes. We got to take care of this pronto.
-You think?

1350
01:03:04,514 --> 01:03:06,716
-Yes.
-The man is dying without his other half.

1351
01:03:06,783 --> 01:03:07,884
We have to fix this.

1352
01:03:08,518 --> 01:03:09,418
Come on, let's go.

1353
01:03:09,485 --> 01:03:10,486
No. No. Five minute.

1354
01:03:10,553 --> 01:03:11,487
I just want five more minutes.

1355
01:03:11,654 --> 01:03:12,822
Five more minutes with her.

1356
01:03:13,022 --> 01:03:14,557
-No. It's okay.
-Goodbye.

1357
01:03:14,790 --> 01:03:15,625
[crying] Bye.

1358
01:03:15,691 --> 01:03:16,859
[Sobs]

1359
01:03:19,462 --> 01:03:20,830
[Laughing] I know.

1360
01:03:20,897 --> 01:03:22,064
That was so good, right?

1361
01:03:22,298 --> 01:03:23,866
I figured Gigi could use a new look.

1362
01:03:24,467 --> 01:03:26,068
I mean, fresh coat of paint.

1363
01:03:26,702 --> 01:03:28,571
Okay, I'm just heading into the office
now.

1364
01:03:29,272 --> 01:03:30,106
Bye.

1365
01:03:31,174 --> 01:03:32,475
Wet paint.

1366
01:03:37,313 --> 01:03:39,448
[mysterious music playing]

1367
01:03:44,487 --> 01:03:46,022
[music intensifying]

1368
01:04:00,269 --> 01:04:01,137
Okay, Gigi.

1369
01:04:02,338 --> 01:04:04,307
[infuriated] The gloves come off.

1370
01:04:05,308 --> 01:04:06,742
[music ends abrupt]

1371
01:04:08,244 --> 01:04:09,412
[unintelligible shouts]

1372
01:04:11,047 --> 01:04:13,916
[Vic] We go from the chaos
in Kiana's office to the chaos here

1373
01:04:13,983 --> 01:04:15,051
at ringside, Booker.

1374
01:04:19,522 --> 01:04:23,025
It was moments ago, Bernal was running
his mouth insulting Von Wagner.

1375
01:04:23,092 --> 01:04:25,127
And as you can see, Von has heard enough.

1376
01:04:26,062 --> 01:04:28,564
[Booker] Man.
Ask me what I think about Von Wagner.

1377
01:04:29,031 --> 01:04:29,966
[Vic] Oh.

1378
01:04:36,372 --> 01:04:40,610
It appears that even a calming force
can disengage Von Wagner.

1379
01:04:41,010 --> 01:04:43,479
Stop! Stop!

1380
01:04:44,447 --> 01:04:46,916
[unintelligible]

1381
01:04:54,056 --> 01:04:56,425
[Vic] Well, thankfully,
cooler heads prevail.

1382
01:04:57,994 --> 01:05:02,064
Wow. No. Stop! Stop what you are doing!

1383
01:05:02,431 --> 01:05:04,200
[unintelligible]

1384
01:05:12,575 --> 01:05:16,012
[crowd chanting "table"]

1385
01:05:21,617 --> 01:05:23,185
[crowd shouting]

1386
01:05:24,120 --> 01:05:24,954
[Vic] Wait.

1387
01:05:26,522 --> 01:05:28,791
I thought cooler heads
were going to prevail.

1388
01:05:35,665 --> 01:05:37,566
[Booker] Oh, my god.

1389
01:05:37,767 --> 01:05:39,435
[Crowd cheering and clapping]

1390
01:05:45,474 --> 01:05:47,243
Why did you do that?

[Von Wagner's music playing]

1392
01:05:56,986 --> 01:05:59,755
[Vic] Booker, listen to this place.

1393
01:06:01,123 --> 01:06:03,159
Look in the eyes of Von Wagner.

1394
01:06:11,701 --> 01:06:14,570
[Music]

1395
01:06:17,206 --> 01:06:20,276
[Lucien] Man, our brotherhood started
right in front of this store,

1396
01:06:20,576 --> 01:06:23,546
man, and now NXT ain't ready for us.

1397
01:06:24,480 --> 01:06:25,548
[Bronco] Come on, man.

1398
01:06:32,621 --> 01:06:33,923
-My boy.
-Dude.

1399
01:06:33,990 --> 01:06:36,993
A storm's about to roll through
this tag team division, man.

1400
01:06:37,326 --> 01:06:40,596
Because ain't nobody ever seen
no combo like this before.

1401
01:06:40,763 --> 01:06:43,232
[Bronco] We're the one with that
athleticism with that straight knowledge.

1402
01:06:43,299 --> 01:06:44,133
Come on, man.

1403
01:06:44,200 --> 01:06:45,801
Hey, you know we brothers.

1404
01:06:46,002 --> 01:06:48,637
-Not by blood but by heart.
-Yes. I know it.

1405
01:06:48,838 --> 01:06:51,474
[Lucien] We're connected at the bottom
like the better beat.

1406
01:06:51,741 --> 01:06:54,276
Now, we got a new field to assert
that dominance, baby.

1407
01:06:54,577 --> 01:06:58,114
A new place to unleash all this anger
we've been facing our whole lives.

1408
01:06:58,180 --> 01:06:59,982
Look, we've been a part of the bottom of
the bottom.

1409
01:07:00,483 --> 01:07:02,351
[Lucien] Lil' young'uns to OGs.

1410
01:07:02,918 --> 01:07:05,121
Hey, they hear us coming,
but they ain't listening.

1411
01:07:05,588 --> 01:07:09,291
No, bro. All I know is every team
better know they about to get it.

1412
01:07:09,358 --> 01:07:11,093
-Come on.
-Because nobody's safe, baby.

1413
01:07:11,694 --> 01:07:14,196
-We're on the way.
-We're on the way, baby. Come on.

1414
01:07:14,263 --> 01:07:16,165
[thunders]

1415
01:07:20,703 --> 01:07:24,907
[Vic] The duo of Nima and Price
make their in-ring debut next week

1416
01:07:24,974 --> 01:07:25,808
here on NXT.

1417
01:07:26,475 --> 01:07:29,378
[Schism's music playing]

[Bell ringing]

1419
01:07:41,924 --> 01:07:46,796
[announcer] The following
is the loser leaves NXT match.

1420
01:07:47,396 --> 01:07:52,268
Introducing first, representing Schism,
The Dyad.

1421
01:07:55,905 --> 01:07:57,673
[Vic] Booker, it's been July 4th.

1422
01:07:57,740 --> 01:08:00,943
It's been a celebration all day long.

1423
01:08:02,244 --> 01:08:06,482
But to get serious for a second,
is this the last walk to the ring

1424
01:08:06,549 --> 01:08:09,919
as four roots for Schism?

1425
01:08:10,119 --> 01:08:12,288
Specifically for Fowler and Reid, Dyad.

1426
01:08:12,354 --> 01:08:14,857
[Booker] Not just four roots, one tree.

1427
01:08:14,924 --> 01:08:17,059
You're talking about
back against the wall, Vic.

1428
01:08:17,126 --> 01:08:18,227
This could be it.

1429
01:08:18,727 --> 01:08:20,396
This could it, this could be that moment.

1430
01:08:20,463 --> 01:08:25,067
Somebody, like in boxing,
they say somebody must go tonight.

1431
01:08:25,134 --> 01:08:26,001
Oh, yes.

1432
01:08:26,202 --> 01:08:29,305
[Creed Brothers' music playing]

1433
01:08:32,975 --> 01:08:36,345
[announcer] Their opponents,
accompanied by Ivy Nile,

1434
01:08:36,412 --> 01:08:38,447
Julius and Brutus,

1435
01:08:38,514 --> 01:08:41,217
The Creed Brothers.

1436
01:08:41,717 --> 01:08:45,054
[Vic] Not about checks and championships
in our main event,

1437
01:08:45,121 --> 01:08:48,023
oh Book, one team's career,

1438
01:08:49,091 --> 01:08:51,861
their livelihood is on the line.

1439
01:08:51,927 --> 01:08:53,562
[Booker] You're going to keep
cashing checks.

1440
01:08:53,629 --> 01:08:55,464
-[Booker] It's about checks.
-[Vic] Okay. Fair point.

1441
01:08:55,531 --> 01:08:56,832
[Booker] It's about checks
and championships.

1442
01:08:56,899 --> 01:08:57,967
[Vic] Fair point.
I'll retract that. But…

1443
01:08:58,567 --> 01:09:03,239
The Creeds, Dyad,
there's been so much animosity

1444
01:09:03,873 --> 01:09:05,941
between these two, and right off rip.

1445
01:09:07,042 --> 01:09:08,177
Reid and Fowler.

1446
01:09:08,577 --> 01:09:10,846
Hey, Booker, correct me if I'm wrong.

1447
01:09:10,913 --> 01:09:12,081
Have you heard a bell?

1448
01:09:12,615 --> 01:09:14,683
[Booker] No bell. No bell.
Right now it's a fight, Vic.

1449
01:09:14,750 --> 01:09:16,886
[Vic] Well, the referee's got to get
some sort of order

1450
01:09:16,952 --> 01:09:19,321
in this match because this is high stakes.

1451
01:09:19,688 --> 01:09:22,124
This is a career or careers.

1452
01:09:22,591 --> 01:09:25,361
Now somehow Brutus's just bulldozing.

1453
01:09:25,427 --> 01:09:26,929
Oh, wait a minute.

1454
01:09:26,996 --> 01:09:29,431
-[Vic] Julius Creed--
-[Booker] Wow.

1455
01:09:29,498 --> 01:09:31,934
-[Vic] …taking for Reid for the ride.
-[Booker] From the top, Vic.

1456
01:09:32,134 --> 01:09:35,471
[Vic] Fowler dumped unceremoniously
to the outside.

1457
01:09:35,771 --> 01:09:37,373
It's the Creeds.

1458
01:09:38,007 --> 01:09:38,941
Oh.

1459
01:09:39,008 --> 01:09:40,709
-[Vic] That was a unique Brutus ball.
-[Bell ringing]

1460
01:09:40,776 --> 01:09:41,877
[Vic] Big knee.

1461
01:09:43,579 --> 01:09:44,880
This match is official.

1462
01:09:45,180 --> 01:09:48,317
Fowler's rocked, Reid is down,
Julius is climbing

1463
01:09:48,851 --> 01:09:49,718
all the way

1464
01:09:49,919 --> 01:09:51,587
looking for that shooting star.

1465
01:09:51,787 --> 01:09:53,656
-[Booker] Wow. That's it.
-[Vic] This is it.

1466
01:09:53,722 --> 01:09:54,657
Their careers could be over.

1467
01:09:57,626 --> 01:10:00,095
Gacy's saving the day.

1468
01:10:00,429 --> 01:10:03,165
Who's career is going to end here tonight?

1469
01:10:03,232 --> 01:10:05,834
[Crowd cheering]

1470
01:10:06,268 --> 01:10:08,103
[Vic] Wait a minute. Joe Gacy had a plan.

1471
01:10:08,170 --> 01:10:09,572
That just went up in smoke.

1472
01:10:09,638 --> 01:10:11,574
He's been ejected from ringside.

1473
01:10:11,640 --> 01:10:14,210
Whose career is going to end here tonight?

1474
01:10:16,045 --> 01:10:17,346
[Vic] Back on NXT.

1475
01:10:17,413 --> 01:10:21,450
Careers hang in the balance
because the loser is out of NXT.

1476
01:10:21,784 --> 01:10:24,386
Fowler and Reid have slowed the pace.

1477
01:10:24,453 --> 01:10:27,056
Into the cover, and a near fall for
Fowler,

1478
01:10:27,122 --> 01:10:29,325
as Brutus was one second away

1479
01:10:29,391 --> 01:10:31,594
from him and his brother
being out of this brand.

1480
01:10:31,660 --> 01:10:34,096
Let's go back to how this match
started moments ago.

1481
01:10:34,163 --> 01:10:35,898
It was fast, it was furious.

1482
01:10:36,198 --> 01:10:40,436
The shooting star almost sealed the fate
for The Dyad

1483
01:10:40,502 --> 01:10:45,574
if not for Joe Gacy who was then ejected,
Booker, ejected from ringside.

1484
01:10:45,641 --> 01:10:46,875
He's no longer out here.

1485
01:10:46,942 --> 01:10:48,544
[Booker] Yes, he's out of play right now.

1486
01:10:48,611 --> 01:10:52,348
I'm going to tell you right now,
The Dyad has been rock solid as of late.

1487
01:10:52,414 --> 01:10:53,949
They can handle themselves.

1488
01:10:54,016 --> 01:10:56,185
I don't have any worry about that.

1489
01:10:56,251 --> 01:11:00,189
[Vic] Book, look, Gacy is the one
who got them in this matchup.

1490
01:11:00,255 --> 01:11:03,993
It was Joe Gacy who put The Dyad
in this spot.

1491
01:11:04,059 --> 01:11:05,661
-[Vic] It was Joe Gacy who told--
-[Booker] Vic, you got to understand.

1492
01:11:05,728 --> 01:11:06,762
[Booker] Come on.

1493
01:11:06,829 --> 01:11:08,197
[Vic] No, he had a plan,
and now he's gone.

1494
01:11:08,264 --> 01:11:09,732
-[Booker] You got to understand, Vic.
-[Vic] Did he coax them into this?

1495
01:11:09,798 --> 01:11:12,067
[Booker] You're talking about
the mastermind of this team,

1496
01:11:12,134 --> 01:11:13,736
you're talking about the puppet master.

1497
01:11:13,802 --> 01:11:16,972
There's a method
to all of the madness, Vic.

1498
01:11:17,206 --> 01:11:18,907
Just wait and watch it play out.

1499
01:11:18,974 --> 01:11:20,242
[Vic] Answer my question.

1500
01:11:20,309 --> 01:11:23,612
Did Joe Gacy coax The Dyad
into this matchup tonight?

1501
01:11:23,679 --> 01:11:25,447
[Booker] Like I say, Vic,
there's a method to the madness.

1502
01:11:25,514 --> 01:11:27,883
-[Booker] It's not over. Oh!
-[Vic] Cover, cover.

1503
01:11:28,517 --> 01:11:30,853
[Vic] Brutus was again one second away

1504
01:11:31,620 --> 01:11:35,891
from his and Julius' careers in NXT
being over.

1505
01:11:35,958 --> 01:11:38,527
And that duo headed back to Ohio.

1506
01:11:39,428 --> 01:11:43,432
Right now, things are not looking good
for the Brothers Creed.

1507
01:11:43,999 --> 01:11:48,137
Schism believes Julius and Brutus,
they're the true problem

1508
01:11:48,203 --> 01:11:50,439
of NXT, and they have to be exterminated.

1509
01:11:50,506 --> 01:11:52,141
Will that happen tonight,

1510
01:11:52,207 --> 01:11:56,011
as Fowler and Reid slide in
another cover and another kick out?

1511
01:11:56,078 --> 01:11:59,515
They slowed the pace of this matchup,
which certainly is…

1512
01:11:59,915 --> 01:12:01,750
their scouting rapport, what they want.

1513
01:12:01,817 --> 01:12:03,752
[Booker] This is all by design, Vic.

1514
01:12:03,819 --> 01:12:06,855
Like I say, this is a plan.
Slow these Creed Brothers down,

1515
01:12:07,022 --> 01:12:10,392
keep them away from their base,
which is mat wrestling.

1516
01:12:11,327 --> 01:12:13,562
[Vic] Booker, you've got to think
both Nile and Ava

1517
01:12:13,629 --> 01:12:15,097
should be nervous in this matchup

1518
01:12:15,164 --> 01:12:17,766
because Nile has seen just,
how The Creeds,

1519
01:12:17,833 --> 01:12:21,937
that Ava and Schism get ahead
by nefarious means.

1520
01:12:22,304 --> 01:12:23,839
[Booker] I've never been
in this position before, Vic,

1521
01:12:23,906 --> 01:12:26,308
where the career is on the line,

1522
01:12:26,375 --> 01:12:30,646
it's definitely got to have
a whole lot more meaning than normal.

1523
01:12:30,713 --> 01:12:31,914
Oh, yes.

1524
01:12:31,980 --> 01:12:34,149
[Vic] A big suplex by Brutus.

1525
01:12:34,216 --> 01:12:39,788
As you look out at the NXT Universe,
you see a few yellow Schism masks.

1526
01:12:39,988 --> 01:12:43,325
Those followers of Joe Gacy
believed he had a plan,

1527
01:12:43,592 --> 01:12:45,828
but that plan right now may be backfiring.

1528
01:12:45,894 --> 01:12:48,564
The tag is made,
and let's go for the ride.

1529
01:12:48,630 --> 01:12:50,566
How many suplexes
are we going to get this week?

1530
01:12:50,632 --> 01:12:52,935
[Booker] Oh-ho. Here we go, baby.

1531
01:12:53,569 --> 01:12:55,404
-[Booker] Talking about--
-[Vic] Oh!

1532
01:12:55,471 --> 01:12:56,338
[Booker] Wow.

1533
01:12:56,405 --> 01:12:59,541
[Vic] I was about to say like a machine,
Julius creed.

1534
01:12:59,608 --> 01:13:03,045
But that machine just got short circuited
by The Dyad.

1535
01:13:03,112 --> 01:13:05,380
Oh, but maybe not.

1536
01:13:08,016 --> 01:13:10,886
[Booker] Julius Creed is an athlete, Vic.
He's an athlete.

1537
01:13:11,220 --> 01:13:12,154
[Vic] Certainly is.

1538
01:13:12,221 --> 01:13:15,924
An ACC standout out at Duke University
here in this matchup,

1539
01:13:15,991 --> 01:13:19,361
here in this moment,
laying it all on the line, is Julius.

1540
01:13:19,428 --> 01:13:23,899
To put your career up for grabs,
you must have such a strong disdain

1541
01:13:23,966 --> 01:13:25,234
for your opponent.

1542
01:13:26,068 --> 01:13:29,204
You wonder what it's going to take
in this match, Booker,

1543
01:13:29,271 --> 01:13:30,406
to keep the other down.

1544
01:13:30,472 --> 01:13:31,940
You said you've never been
in this sort of position.

1545
01:13:32,007 --> 01:13:34,076
[Booker] No. I mean, when your career
is on the line, Vic,

1546
01:13:34,143 --> 01:13:35,544
you can't be thinking straight.

1547
01:13:35,778 --> 01:13:38,714
[Vic] Whoa. Shoulders are down, and,
oh, another near fall.

1548
01:13:38,781 --> 01:13:40,082
[Booker] You're thinking about
getting a victory,

1549
01:13:40,149 --> 01:13:41,984
a win by any means necessary.

1550
01:13:42,651 --> 01:13:44,286
That's where Julius is right now.

1551
01:13:44,353 --> 01:13:47,589
[Vic] Tag. You got to think it's a
little bit deeper for The Creed Brothers.

1552
01:13:47,656 --> 01:13:50,926
It's siblings, it's two that have had
their backs since birth.

1553
01:13:50,993 --> 01:13:52,995
They don't want to let the other one down.
Oh!

1554
01:13:53,061 --> 01:13:56,365
When we're looking at The Dyad,
who've had a rebirth under Joe Gacy.

1555
01:13:56,432 --> 01:13:58,767
Shoulders down, and another near fall.

1556
01:13:58,834 --> 01:14:01,103
There's so much on the line.
You see Ivy Nile.

1557
01:14:01,737 --> 01:14:03,705
-[Vic] There's so much on the line,
-[Booker] I can't call it, Vic.

1558
01:14:03,772 --> 01:14:05,874
[Vic] in every pin, in every submission.

1559
01:14:05,941 --> 01:14:07,876
[Booker] It's hard for me to call this
match right here. Whoa.

1560
01:14:07,943 --> 01:14:09,478
[Vic] Because even a count out.

1561
01:14:09,545 --> 01:14:11,780
By any means losing, you're gone.

1562
01:14:11,847 --> 01:14:12,681
Oh.

1563
01:14:13,816 --> 01:14:15,384
Now, Brutus just got dropped.

1564
01:14:15,451 --> 01:14:17,953
Julius now has to realize it's two-on-one.

1565
01:14:18,153 --> 01:14:19,888
From behind, from behind. No, no, no.

1566
01:14:20,255 --> 01:14:21,723
No! A kick out.

1567
01:14:21,790 --> 01:14:24,193
[Booker] If Fowler would've just grabbed
that bottom rope

1568
01:14:24,259 --> 01:14:25,761
this match could be over, Vic.

1569
01:14:26,328 --> 01:14:28,464
You got to do what you got to do
to get a victory.

1570
01:14:28,530 --> 01:14:30,632
[Crowd chanting "Creed"]

1571
01:14:30,866 --> 01:14:33,902
[Vic] Looking for a crucifix pin.
A chop right to the throat.

1572
01:14:33,969 --> 01:14:35,070
Into the Adam's apple.

1573
01:14:35,137 --> 01:14:35,971
[Booker] Exactly what I'm talking about.

1574
01:14:36,171 --> 01:14:38,073
[Vic] Dropped Julius. Reid into the cover.

1575
01:14:38,340 --> 01:14:44,613
Creeds continue their career
and continue their pulse here in NXT.

1576
01:14:45,948 --> 01:14:47,816
We keep talking about-- look at Ava.

1577
01:14:47,883 --> 01:14:50,953
That's almost like a sigh of relief,
almost a sense of worry.

1578
01:14:51,353 --> 01:14:53,889
This is what you want, right?
This is what you wanted.

1579
01:14:55,924 --> 01:14:58,227
Do you want to leave? You want to leave?

1580
01:14:58,293 --> 01:15:00,629
-[Booker] He's just losing control, Vic.
-[Vic] He's saying something truthful.

1581
01:15:00,696 --> 01:15:01,597
You want to leave?

1582
01:15:01,663 --> 01:15:03,065
[Vic] This is what Julius wanted.

1583
01:15:03,131 --> 01:15:06,034
We talk about Joe Gacy putting
The Dyad in this position,

1584
01:15:06,268 --> 01:15:09,071
Julius put The Crreed Brothers
in this position

1585
01:15:09,137 --> 01:15:11,039
-[Booker] I don't think you want to--
-[Vic] because Julius is confident.

1586
01:15:11,106 --> 01:15:13,008
[Booker] you do not want to rile
this young man up.

1587
01:15:13,075 --> 01:15:14,676
You do not want to get this young man
upset.

1588
01:15:15,344 --> 01:15:19,348
[Vic] Cover, and, oh, chop block
to the knee, to the left knee of Julius.

1589
01:15:19,414 --> 01:15:20,582
On the outside now.

1590
01:15:21,750 --> 01:15:22,584
That's two.

1591
01:15:23,018 --> 01:15:27,523
[Vic] I think a sense of maybe reality
is setting in for Fowler

1592
01:15:28,156 --> 01:15:29,858
that Julius is wounded.

1593
01:15:29,925 --> 01:15:32,728
He may be pissed off right now,
but he's wounded.

1594
01:15:32,895 --> 01:15:34,429
I'm trying to get him out of the ring.

1595
01:15:34,496 --> 01:15:35,564
[Booker] Oh. Wow.

1596
01:15:36,098 --> 01:15:38,267
[Vic] From behind. Divide and conquer.

1597
01:15:38,333 --> 01:15:40,769
-[Booker] Vic,
-[Vic] Systematically dissecting.

1598
01:15:40,836 --> 01:15:45,040
[Booker] talking about that master plan,
talking about Joe Gacy not being here.

1599
01:15:45,107 --> 01:15:46,275
Trust me, he's here.

1600
01:15:46,608 --> 01:15:47,442
He's here.

1601
01:15:47,509 --> 01:15:50,412
[Vic] No, no. It was The Dyad
who said they had a plan.

1602
01:15:50,579 --> 01:15:52,748
They're fighting like
their careers are on the line.

1603
01:15:53,282 --> 01:15:56,218
Who is going to continue their career
in NXT?

1604
01:16:01,156 --> 01:16:02,724
[Vic] We're back on NXT.

1605
01:16:02,958 --> 01:16:06,228
Two teams have entered,
only one team will remain.

1606
01:16:08,931 --> 01:16:09,765
[Booker] Wow.

1607
01:16:09,965 --> 01:16:11,600
[Vic] Loser leaves NXT.

1608
01:16:11,667 --> 01:16:15,604
You can say that again, Booker,
because Julius Creed's had so much damage

1609
01:16:15,671 --> 01:16:17,272
done to his lower body,

1610
01:16:17,339 --> 01:16:20,842
and now he's locked
in a single-leg submission by Fowler.

1611
01:16:21,009 --> 01:16:25,314
As Reid is barking to tap,
but if he taps, his career is over

1612
01:16:25,380 --> 01:16:27,049
and so is his brother, Brutus'.

1613
01:16:27,115 --> 01:16:30,285
[Booker] Wow. That's a big man
just grinding on Julius Creed right now.

1614
01:16:30,352 --> 01:16:33,121
-[Booker] He's moments away.
-[Vic] Oh, no. Don't tap. Don't tap.

1615
01:16:33,188 --> 01:16:35,157
-[Booker] He's moments away.
-[Vic] It's your career.

1616
01:16:35,223 --> 01:16:36,592
-[Booker] What, did he tap?
-[Vic] It's your career.

1617
01:16:37,025 --> 01:16:39,127
[Vic] Julius's realizing what is at stake,

1618
01:16:39,194 --> 01:16:42,297
a livelihood, not just for him
but for his brother.

1619
01:16:42,497 --> 01:16:46,068
Brutus, on the other end, you can see
him screaming at his brother

1620
01:16:46,134 --> 01:16:47,102
in this moment.

1621
01:16:47,269 --> 01:16:49,004
[Brutus] Come on. Come on.

1622
01:16:49,071 --> 01:16:52,574
[Vic] Julius's trying anything,
everything, to fight, to break free.

1623
01:16:52,641 --> 01:16:54,676
-[Booker] Yes, Fowler is trying to rip…
-[Vic] To get away from Fowler.

1624
01:16:54,743 --> 01:16:56,745
[Booker] …that knee apart right now.

1625
01:16:56,812 --> 01:17:00,549
You got to wonder, Vic,
has the damage been done?

1626
01:17:01,350 --> 01:17:02,718
[Vic] A tag is made.

1627
01:17:02,784 --> 01:17:07,422
Oh, and big Brutus is looking to smash.

1628
01:17:07,489 --> 01:17:09,157
[Booker] Yes, but he's laboring, Vic.

1629
01:17:09,224 --> 01:17:12,828
That left shoulder looked like
something's wrong with it.

1630
01:17:12,995 --> 01:17:14,763
[Vic] He might've just popped it back in.

1631
01:17:14,830 --> 01:17:16,264
I don't know if he just shook feeling
into it.

1632
01:17:16,431 --> 01:17:20,168
He's blocking it out because adrenaline
will make a man do crazy things,

1633
01:17:20,235 --> 01:17:23,905
especially, Book, when your career
is on the line.

1634
01:17:23,972 --> 01:17:28,076
[Booker] Yes, but it's noticeable, Vic.
He's fighting from just one side.

1635
01:17:28,377 --> 01:17:32,147
He's sucking it up, Vic,
but he's feeling the pain.

1636
01:17:33,181 --> 01:17:35,350
[Vic] The creeds called Schism dangerous,

1637
01:17:35,417 --> 01:17:37,919
poisonous,
said they need to be eliminated.

1638
01:17:37,986 --> 01:17:40,222
Can Brutus do just that?

1639
01:17:40,589 --> 01:17:41,690
[crowd shouting]

1640
01:17:41,923 --> 01:17:43,692
[Vic] Oh, my god. [Booker] Good god.

1641
01:17:43,759 --> 01:17:45,327
[Vic] A man that big
shouldn't do just that.

1642
01:17:45,394 --> 01:17:46,228
Is this over?

1643
01:17:46,795 --> 01:17:47,629
No.

1644
01:17:48,330 --> 01:17:50,432
[Booker] You've got to be kidding me, Vic.

1645
01:17:50,499 --> 01:17:52,834
What a move pulled off by Brutus.

1646
01:17:53,035 --> 01:17:53,869
Wow.

1647
01:17:54,970 --> 01:17:58,807
[Vic] Book, I'm not going to age you here,
but you've been around for quite a while.

1648
01:17:58,874 --> 01:18:00,342
You've got two hall of fame rings.

1649
01:18:00,509 --> 01:18:02,978
Have you ever seen a man that size
do that?

1650
01:18:03,045 --> 01:18:05,714
[Booker] No. No.
Brutus is very talented, Vic.

1651
01:18:05,947 --> 01:18:10,886
I mean, it's uncanny for a man this size
to pull off something like that

1652
01:18:10,952 --> 01:18:12,521
with the greatest of ease.

1653
01:18:12,587 --> 01:18:13,855
[Vic] Now, an ankle lock.

1654
01:18:13,922 --> 01:18:15,490
Now, the roles are reversed.

1655
01:18:15,557 --> 01:18:17,125
Is Fowler going to tap?

1656
01:18:17,325 --> 01:18:20,429
Is Fowler's career going to end
in this moment?

1657
01:18:21,363 --> 01:18:23,031
So would his partner's.

1658
01:18:23,098 --> 01:18:24,466
[Crowd chanting "tap"]

1659
01:18:24,533 --> 01:18:26,301
[Vic] NXT Universe screaming "tap."

1660
01:18:26,368 --> 01:18:28,503
Fowler, oh, so close, so close.

1661
01:18:31,106 --> 01:18:34,643
[Booker] Fight for your career, Vic.
You're fighting for your life right now.

1662
01:18:38,880 --> 01:18:39,915
[Vic] Once to the throat.

1663
01:18:39,981 --> 01:18:43,318
This time dropping Brutus.

1664
01:18:44,719 --> 01:18:49,091
Creed's career, no, not over just yet.

1665
01:18:49,424 --> 01:18:50,258
[Booker] Wow.

1666
01:18:51,293 --> 01:18:54,763
[Vic] We've talked about celebrations,
we've talked about July 4th.

1667
01:18:54,830 --> 01:18:55,931
One of these two teams

1668
01:18:55,997 --> 01:18:58,900
is not going to be celebrating here
in a matter of moments.

1669
01:18:58,967 --> 01:19:00,302
[Booker] So much at stake, Vic.

1670
01:19:00,368 --> 01:19:02,571
Like I say, their careers,
their livelihood,

1671
01:19:02,637 --> 01:19:05,607
everything is on the line right now.

1672
01:19:06,007 --> 01:19:07,309
Is this what you wanted?

1673
01:19:09,544 --> 01:19:10,912
You're leaving, man.

1674
01:19:11,213 --> 01:19:12,447
Get out of here.

1675
01:19:12,614 --> 01:19:13,815
You're out of here.

1676
01:19:14,516 --> 01:19:17,085
[Vic] Brutus, right now, almost--

1677
01:19:17,152 --> 01:19:19,454
Do it for me, Brutus. I love you.
Do it for me.

1678
01:19:19,621 --> 01:19:21,123
Keep fighting, baby. Keep fighting.

1679
01:19:21,189 --> 01:19:22,090
We're not going anywhere.

1680
01:19:22,157 --> 01:19:23,325
They don't want to let you walk.

1681
01:19:23,525 --> 01:19:25,026
Fight for me, baby. I love you.

1682
01:19:25,694 --> 01:19:27,829
[Vic] That's what we talked about,
the brothers,

1683
01:19:28,063 --> 01:19:30,499
they have been together since day one.

1684
01:19:30,565 --> 01:19:34,536
For Brutus, his older brother's begging
him to continue to fight on.

1685
01:19:35,437 --> 01:19:39,307
Brutus's absorbing shot after shot,
blow after blow.

1686
01:19:40,609 --> 01:19:42,077
[Booker] Wow.

1687
01:19:42,144 --> 01:19:44,112
[Crowd cheering]

1688
01:19:44,279 --> 01:19:45,947
[Vic] In a blink of an eye,

1689
01:19:46,014 --> 01:19:48,183
Brutus's turning things around.

1690
01:19:49,684 --> 01:19:54,723
Now, Brothers Creed could be putting
an end to The Dyad.

1691
01:19:55,490 --> 01:19:57,058
Fowler on the outside.

1692
01:19:58,160 --> 01:19:59,494
Oh.

1693
01:20:00,362 --> 01:20:04,366
Julius, though, remember,
Julius, the legal superstars

1694
01:20:04,432 --> 01:20:05,901
right now fighting it out.

1695
01:20:05,967 --> 01:20:08,403
[Booker] Yes, but remember
Julius is in bad shape.

1696
01:20:08,470 --> 01:20:10,272
-[Vic] No. No.
-[Booker] Whoa. Wow.

1697
01:20:10,338 --> 01:20:14,509
[Vic] Brutus might be in worse shape,
and Ivy Nile is realizing it.

1698
01:20:16,678 --> 01:20:19,681
NXT Universe also in disbelief,

1699
01:20:19,748 --> 01:20:22,784
but those select few
that have those masks on,

1700
01:20:22,851 --> 01:20:25,687
their belief is growing stronger.

1701
01:20:26,087 --> 01:20:26,988
One out now.

1702
01:20:27,055 --> 01:20:28,523
[Booker] Vic, The Dyad is so close.

1703
01:20:29,257 --> 01:20:32,027
Eighteen years, 18 years.

1704
01:20:32,594 --> 01:20:34,062
Do you want to go?

1705
01:20:35,497 --> 01:20:36,398
You want to go?

1706
01:20:36,565 --> 01:20:37,399
Let's go.

1707
01:20:38,066 --> 01:20:40,368
[Vic] Eighteen years isn't a lifetime.

1708
01:20:40,535 --> 01:20:42,337
Julius's doing this for his brother,

1709
01:20:42,737 --> 01:20:43,905
doing this for Brutus.

1710
01:20:44,706 --> 01:20:46,474
Oh, and maybe he's been over matched.

1711
01:20:46,741 --> 01:20:48,643
-[Vic] Oh.
-[Booker] Wow.

1712
01:20:48,877 --> 01:20:50,612
[Vic] On one leg,

1713
01:20:50,946 --> 01:20:54,015
Julius is fighting through the pain.

1714
01:20:54,082 --> 01:20:56,284
-[Booker] You got to love it.
-[Vic] How?

1715
01:20:58,653 --> 01:21:00,021
[Vic] Julius is to the top

1716
01:21:00,722 --> 01:21:04,059
laying it on the line for his career.

1717
01:21:08,063 --> 01:21:08,897
Ava.

1718
01:21:09,831 --> 01:21:10,732
Ivy.

1719
01:21:10,799 --> 01:21:13,735
[Brooker chuckling] Oh, yes.
I was waiting on this.

1720
01:21:13,802 --> 01:21:15,337
I was waiting on this, Vic.

1721
01:21:17,439 --> 01:21:18,406
[Vic] Wait a minute.

1722
01:21:19,341 --> 01:21:20,442
Who the hell?

1723
01:21:22,444 --> 01:21:24,646
Who? Someone from the crowd!

1724
01:21:25,247 --> 01:21:26,448
One of those followers.

1725
01:21:29,484 --> 01:21:33,655
The referee didn't see it.
He was distracted by Ivy and Ava.

1726
01:21:33,955 --> 01:21:35,190
Back in the ring,

1727
01:21:36,424 --> 01:21:37,826
Dyad taking control.

1728
01:21:38,059 --> 01:21:39,261
No. Cover.

1729
01:21:39,427 --> 01:21:40,262
End.

1730
01:21:40,495 --> 01:21:41,396
[Bell ringing]

1731
01:21:41,463 --> 01:21:43,498
-[Booker] Wow. Wow.
-[Vic] Oh, my god.

1732
01:21:43,565 --> 01:21:44,399
[Schism's music playing]

1733
01:21:44,566 --> 01:21:47,469
[announcer] Here are your winners,
The Dyad.

1734
01:21:56,811 --> 01:22:01,316
[Vic] Booker, the Creed Brothers' career
in NXT

1735
01:22:03,952 --> 01:22:04,853
is over.

1736
01:22:08,957 --> 01:22:10,859
[Booker] Wow, I'm shocked.

1737
01:22:13,161 --> 01:22:15,664
[Vic] These two teams gave it their all,
obviously,

1738
01:22:15,730 --> 01:22:19,367
with everything that was on the line
in this match, in this moment.

1739
01:22:19,768 --> 01:22:25,707
Julius, Brutus, like they always do,
gave it 120%.

1740
01:22:25,774 --> 01:22:28,543
But right here, the obvious turning point.

1741
01:22:29,611 --> 01:22:32,213
Someone from the crowd,
one of these followers

1742
01:22:33,181 --> 01:22:35,116
coming in inserting themselves

1743
01:22:35,183 --> 01:22:39,354
and that would open the door
for Reid and Fowler

1744
01:22:39,421 --> 01:22:45,627
to not just pick up the win,
but to continue their careers in NXT.

1745
01:22:51,533 --> 01:22:52,934
[Vic] I'm at an absolute…

1746
01:22:54,836 --> 01:22:55,837
loss.

1747
01:23:03,445 --> 01:23:06,181
Trick and Melo, you ain't sweating me?

1748
01:23:06,881 --> 01:23:09,217
You ain't sweating The Judgment Day?

1749
01:23:09,951 --> 01:23:14,522
Melo, you were sweating all over my ring
when I dragged you from corner to corner

1750
01:23:14,589 --> 01:23:16,057
a couple of weeks ago on raw.

1751
01:23:17,258 --> 01:23:18,259
But I get it.

1752
01:23:18,626 --> 01:23:20,862
By sticking your nose in my business,

1753
01:23:21,663 --> 01:23:23,164
you get that Finn rub.

1754
01:23:23,665 --> 01:23:24,699
But trust me,

1755
01:23:25,767 --> 01:23:27,802
there ain't going to be no happy endings.

1756
01:23:29,270 --> 01:23:30,605
I'll see you next Tuesday.

1757
01:23:31,106 --> 01:23:33,508
How is that… for subliminal?

1758
01:23:34,976 --> 01:23:36,077
[NXT's music playing]

1759
01:23:36,311 --> 01:23:38,146
[Vic] Booker, huge breaking news.

1760
01:23:38,213 --> 01:23:42,417
It appears that next week Judgment Day
is coming to NXT.

1761
01:23:43,118 --> 01:23:46,988
Speaking of next week, it'll be freedom
or trial for Tony D.

1762
01:23:47,055 --> 01:23:49,157
Can Stacks take down Joe Coffey?

1763
01:23:49,224 --> 01:23:52,894
The fate of the Don
is in the hands of the underboss

1764
01:23:52,961 --> 01:23:54,295
next Tuesday.

1765
01:23:54,763 --> 01:23:59,267
What is the mindset of Ivy Nile
now that her brothers are gone?

1766
01:23:59,434 --> 01:24:01,770
The Creed brothers are no longer in NXT.

1767
01:24:01,970 --> 01:24:03,905
Ivy Nile better have a short memory

1768
01:24:03,972 --> 01:24:06,941
because she goes one-on-one
with the NXT women's champion,

1769
01:24:07,108 --> 01:24:09,611
Tiffany Stratton, next week, live.

1770
01:24:10,412 --> 01:24:12,447
Andre Chase returned last week,

1771
01:24:12,514 --> 01:24:15,917
and now he will team
with Chase U's MVP, Duke Hudson,

1772
01:24:15,984 --> 01:24:17,519
to stop and drop

1773
01:24:17,585 --> 01:24:21,456
the two men who tried to poison
the young minds of his institution,

1774
01:24:21,523 --> 01:24:23,425
Drew Gulak and Charlie Dempsey.

1775
01:24:23,491 --> 01:24:26,728
Massive grudge match next week on NXT.

1776
01:24:28,863 --> 01:24:31,666
What a week it's going to be next week
here on NXT.

1777
01:24:31,733 --> 01:24:36,171
Booker, you almost feel the air taken out
of the NXT Universe.

1778
01:24:36,237 --> 01:24:38,573
Let's go back to what we witnessed
moments ago,

1779
01:24:38,640 --> 01:24:41,109
The Creed Brothers saying goodbye.

1780
01:24:43,244 --> 01:24:45,713
[Crowd chanting "Thank you, Creeds"]

1781
01:24:47,315 --> 01:24:49,350
[The Creed Brothers' music playing]

1782
01:24:57,125 --> 01:24:59,260
[dogs barking]

1783
01:25:03,064 --> 01:25:07,435
[Bron Breakker's music playing]

1784
01:25:18,112 --> 01:25:22,016
[announcer] Please welcome, Bron Breakker.

1785
01:25:22,884 --> 01:25:26,121
[Vic] Booker, rumors have been swirling
all week

1786
01:25:26,654 --> 01:25:31,526
since we witnessed Bron Breakker
storm out of Shawn Michaels' office

1787
01:25:32,660 --> 01:25:36,130
last week at the conclusion of gold rush.

1788
01:25:36,197 --> 01:25:38,900
-[Booker] Can I just get one in tonight?
-[Vic] What?

1789
01:25:38,967 --> 01:25:43,538
-[Booker] No bread, no water, just meat.
-[Vic] Oh, here go.

1790
01:25:44,772 --> 01:25:46,808
That's Bron Breakker, man.

1791
01:25:46,875 --> 01:25:48,376
[Vic] Whatever has been on his mind,

1792
01:25:49,077 --> 01:25:51,846
we are all about to find out.

1793
01:25:53,348 --> 01:25:55,884
[crowd shouting and booing]

1794
01:26:03,057 --> 01:26:05,860
Now,
in case some of you live under a rock,

1795
01:26:06,294 --> 01:26:07,662
a couple of weeks ago,

1796
01:26:08,429 --> 01:26:13,168
I competed in the biggest match
in NXT history.

1797
01:26:15,336 --> 01:26:20,575
On the most watched NXT show
in over two years

1798
01:26:20,642 --> 01:26:22,343
because I called

1799
01:26:22,644 --> 01:26:25,380
out Seth Rollins.

1800
01:26:30,652 --> 01:26:33,354
Now, Seth and I, we battled.

1801
01:26:33,421 --> 01:26:34,622
It was a war.

1802
01:26:35,423 --> 01:26:36,391
But the kicker

1803
01:26:37,358 --> 01:26:39,694
was that not one of you

1804
01:26:39,761 --> 01:26:44,332
in this arena, at home,
believed that I had a shot

1805
01:26:49,270 --> 01:26:50,271
until…

1806
01:26:52,040 --> 01:26:55,510
I speared Seth Rollins
in the center of this ring

1807
01:26:57,512 --> 01:27:00,014
and I heard the energy in this arena

1808
01:27:01,749 --> 01:27:02,650
drop.

1809
01:27:04,786 --> 01:27:10,525
Now, Seth would go on to prove
to the world how good that he is

1810
01:27:10,592 --> 01:27:14,228
in everything that he says that he is,
but I can't stress enough

1811
01:27:14,562 --> 01:27:20,535
how close that I was to winning
the WWE World Heavyweight Championship.

1812
01:27:22,370 --> 01:27:23,271
This close.

1813
01:27:24,005 --> 01:27:28,142
a fraction of a second
away from winning gold.

1814
01:27:28,610 --> 01:27:31,779
And only 78 matches in my career.

1815
01:27:32,280 --> 01:27:34,415
Seventy-eight matches is all I've had.

1816
01:27:35,116 --> 01:27:39,287
Hell. Seth Rollins has had
more premium live event matches

1817
01:27:39,354 --> 01:27:41,055
than I've had period.

1818
01:27:42,690 --> 01:27:45,960
I didn't get the luxury before I got here
to travel the world

1819
01:27:46,027 --> 01:27:50,031
and wrestle in high school gyms
and in front of nobody to learn this. No.

1820
01:27:50,932 --> 01:27:53,568
Everything that I've done has been
right here

1821
01:27:53,768 --> 01:27:58,072
in this building live TV
for the whole world to see

1822
01:27:58,906 --> 01:28:01,209
every week.

1823
01:28:02,810 --> 01:28:04,479
Hell, my first night on the job,

1824
01:28:04,545 --> 01:28:07,882
I beat one of the hottest stars
in the business right now,

1825
01:28:07,949 --> 01:28:09,284
LA Knight.

1826
01:28:09,784 --> 01:28:10,785
[crowd cheering]

1827
01:28:18,059 --> 01:28:19,594
I'm 25 years old.

1828
01:28:21,462 --> 01:28:25,099
I'm 25 years old,
and a couple of weeks ago,

1829
01:28:25,166 --> 01:28:29,771
I proved that I can hang
with the very best in this business,

1830
01:28:30,004 --> 01:28:32,674
and I am that damn good.

1831
01:28:32,740 --> 01:28:34,175
[Crowd booing]

1832
01:28:39,614 --> 01:28:43,251
Get used to seeing this face
for decades to come

1833
01:28:43,318 --> 01:28:47,855
because I got a lot more people to beat
and a lot more championships to collect.

1834
01:28:48,122 --> 01:28:50,858
A lot of people are asking the question
right now,

1835
01:28:52,160 --> 01:28:56,664
what's next for the most intense
superstar in WWE?

1836
01:28:57,298 --> 01:29:01,869
What's next for the badass Bron Breakker?

1837
01:29:03,538 --> 01:29:06,541
[Ilja Dragunov's music playing]

1838
01:29:08,476 --> 01:29:10,011
[Ilja] Bron Breakker,

1839
01:29:12,547 --> 01:29:14,415
so you would like to know

1840
01:29:14,482 --> 01:29:16,651
what's next in line for you, right?

1841
01:29:18,319 --> 01:29:19,287
Well,

1842
01:29:21,923 --> 01:29:25,760
next… in line… is me.

1843
01:29:26,527 --> 01:29:28,262
[crowd cheering]

1844
01:29:30,598 --> 01:29:33,735
I came out to confront you like a man.

1845
01:29:34,068 --> 01:29:36,270
Not by attacking you backstage, no,

1846
01:29:36,771 --> 01:29:39,407
and not in the middle of the match
where the attention

1847
01:29:40,541 --> 01:29:41,843
is somewhere else,

1848
01:29:42,910 --> 01:29:46,214
but head up face-to-face.

1849
01:29:48,349 --> 01:29:50,351
I came out to let you know

1850
01:29:50,785 --> 01:29:54,021
that between me and the NXT title,

1851
01:29:54,088 --> 01:29:55,757
there's only person,

1852
01:29:56,791 --> 01:29:57,625
you.

1853
01:29:59,127 --> 01:30:02,597
[Ilja] I came out to eliminate you.

1854
01:30:03,631 --> 01:30:07,034
It's funny… that you talk about danger,

1855
01:30:08,035 --> 01:30:12,206
because you're standing in the ring
with the most dangerous man in NXT.

1856
01:30:12,740 --> 01:30:14,041
[crowd cheering]

1857
01:30:14,542 --> 01:30:17,311
[Vic] Oh, Booker, can I get
an SD double Q.

1858
01:30:17,378 --> 01:30:19,113
[Booker] Shucky ducky quack quack.

1859
01:30:19,180 --> 01:30:20,214
Here we go, Vic.

1860
01:30:20,448 --> 01:30:24,185
There's a fight breaking out here
in the NXT Universe.

1861
01:30:24,252 --> 01:30:25,253
Oh, yes.

1862
01:30:26,087 --> 01:30:28,723
[Vic] We're going to need more
than just officials.

1863
01:30:30,224 --> 01:30:31,459
[Booker laughs]

1864
01:30:33,094 --> 01:30:34,796
[Vic] Dragunov wants Breakker.

1865
01:30:35,296 --> 01:30:36,464
We need more security.

1866
01:30:36,531 --> 01:30:38,733
[Booker] Let them fight, Vic.
Let them fight.

1867
01:30:38,800 --> 01:30:40,968
[Vic] How the locker room's starting
to empty.

1868
01:30:41,035 --> 01:30:42,036
[Booker laughs]

1869
01:30:48,109 --> 01:30:49,277
[Vic] Oh.

1870
01:30:50,545 --> 01:30:52,180
Breakker's trying to get away.

1871
01:30:53,481 --> 01:30:54,682
but Dragunov…

1872
01:30:55,082 --> 01:30:55,917
boom!

1873
01:30:58,019 --> 01:30:59,954
[Booker] Yes, you want a fight.

1874
01:31:00,154 --> 01:31:01,722
You looking for a fight?

1875
01:31:01,789 --> 01:31:03,558
You just found one, son.

1876
01:31:05,460 --> 01:31:07,929
[Vic] Look at Dragunov laying waste
to everybody.

1877
01:31:08,129 --> 01:31:10,231
He wants to break Bron.

1878
01:31:18,940 --> 01:31:19,941
I'll kick your ass.

1879
01:31:20,241 --> 01:31:21,242
You hear me?

1880
01:31:24,946 --> 01:31:27,081
[Vic] The most dangerous man in NXT

1881
01:31:27,415 --> 01:31:29,984
has just put Breakker on notice.

1882
01:31:33,321 --> 01:31:35,323
