[WWE intro music playing]
[male announcer] Then.
Wow!
[male announcer] Now.
[Roman Reigns] Acknowledge me.
[male announcer] Forever.
Together.
[Cody Rhodes] In a city where the American dream was born,
NXT has returned to the Lone Star State.
Welcome to NXT's mid-summer classic, The Great American Bash.
So let's just say I'm very curious
about this NXT women's championship match tonight.
[screaming]
[Vic] That's Jacy Jayne. It looks like we need security in the back.
-[yelling] -That's what I was waiting for!
[Vic] The North American title is up for grabs,
as "Dirty" Dom will defend against Mustafa Ali and Wes Lee.
[Booker] Triple Threat rules.
[Vic] Who will walk out of Austin with the gold around their waist?
No! Wait a minute.
Dom wouldn't be in this match if it wasn't for Ripley.
Believe it or not, frog splash.
[Rhea Ripley] He is your champion.
Get used to it. [laughing]
I made the Mysterio name relevant.
[Vic] Perez's sister and mom ringside.
Roxanne Perez, Blair Davenport getting in brutal, chaotic,
deeply-rooted personal fight
in this Weapons Wild Match.
[Booker] Oh, yes!
[Vic] Perez eyeing up Davenport.
Pop rocks!
Relief in the eyes of a mother and a sister
as Perez survives Weapons Wild.
Corbin and Steveson taking it to one another.
This went from a debut to a fight.
[bell rings]
[Vic] Well, screw the count-out for a moment,
these two are destroying each other.
Oh!
Gallus boys on top.
[man] We reclaim the streets of NXT when we win the tag team titles
at The Great American Bash.
[Vic] Gallus is going to sleep with the fishes.
The Don and The Underboss are the tag team champions.
[female announcer] The following is a submission match
for the NXT women's championship.
[Booker] Just think about the damage being done here.
Got to dig in deep.
[Vic] Thea Hail is in a lot of trouble right now.
Whoa.
Andre Chase has thrown in the towel.
Tiffany Stratton remains the center of the NXT Universe.
Under the bright lights of The Great American Bash,
it's one man's dynasty versus one man's destiny.
[Booker] It's about who wants it most. This is about the championship.
[man] This is what you're doing it for.
[Vic] Oh, no. Dragunov bounced off that NXT title.
Hayes, nothing but net.
And it's the Melo dynasty that continues to grow in NXT.
[man] Get a dream!
Hold onto it,
and shoot for the sky.
[Vic] It was a very memorable Great American Bash this past Sunday.
What's gone up in style, Book?
The champs are here, huh?
[audience yelling]
[talking at the same time]
[yelling]
[audience booing]
Hold him, hold him!
Watch out.
[yelling and panting]
Again.
We're always, always, and forever on top.
Don't forget it! It's Gallus boys on top.
What are you laughing for? It's no reason to laugh.
The new NXT tag team champions.
Stacks and the Don are live here.
They want to celebrate, and you're here laughing.
Thinking about the celebration, welcome to the party, pal.
-What do you mean, "Welcome to the--"? -Welcome to the party.
You saw what's going on.
-That's very uncalled for. -This is business, dawg.
-Listen-- -What are you looking at?
Vic, stop talking.
Tonight, I'm going to finish what I started at The Bash,
but this time, Lyra is not going to have anyone to pull me off of her.
What the hell did you do now, bro?
[Vic] I didn't do anything.
[upbeat music playing]
[music continues]
[female announcer] The following contest is scheduled for one fall. Making her--
[Vic] Well, after coming over here, now a cheap shot by Jayne.
What a way to kick things off already, a chaotic start.
Book, I haven't heard a bell.
[Booker] No, no, you haven't because right now, Jacy Jayne--
[Vic] We might not even get a bell.
[Booker] --Is not worrying about a match. This is a fight, Vic.
Wow.
[Vic] We heard Jayne bring up Sunday.
When we talk about Sunday, we saw it in the open,
and Jayne talking about unfinished business.
These two brawled inside the H-E-B Center at The Great American Bash.
It spills over to now.
Referee has got to get some order.
[bell rings]
[Vic] Finally this is officially underway, but Jayne has got the upper hand.
[Booker] Jacy Jayne does have the upper hand right now, Vic,
but go back just a couple of weeks ago.
Who started this?
Who threw the first punch in this little squirm right here?
It was Valkyria.
[Vic] Who destroyed Valkyria's jacket?
[Booker] We're not worried about that, man.
[Vic] Those feathers represent all the battles in which Valkyria's won.
It does matter. It matters to her.
It doesn't matter to Jacy Jayne.
Just trying to get myself focused here, as we have the first cover of the matchup.
Hook of the leg, and a kick out.
This is not the way we thought the night was going to start
after a historic Great American Bash.
Both these women, of course,
have their eyes on the submission match that took place this past Sunday.
Tiffany Stratton, of course, still the NXT women's champion.
[Booker] Yes, indeed.
I'll tell you what, Vic, Valkyria is one to watch, Vic.
She's definitely got my eye on her. She's on the radar.
Right now, she's in a lot of trouble.
Jacy Jayne, oh, almost got her.
[Vic] Kick out at one and a sinister smile on the face of Jayne.
As we get ready on how we start the night between these two,
also here, "Dirty" Dom, the North American champion,
the women's world champion, Rhea Ripley.
They are here live.
We will hear from Judgement Day later tonight.
When it comes to Rhea Ripley, she wants to see something out of Lyra Valkyria.
She certainly has her eyes on this matchup.
[Booker] Let me tell you something, Vic, for one second,
do you think Rhea Ripley care about any of these young ladies--
-[Vic] I do. Just last week-- -[Booker] In the locker room?
No, no, no. That was a mind game.
I know what you're talking about. -[Vic] "Mind game."
-[Booker] That was a mind game playing with these young ladies emotions.
-[Vic] Oh, Valkyria up and over wiping up Jayne.
[audience cheering]
[Vic] Back live on NXT.
Jacy Jayne has been in control of Valkyria throughout the break.
Jayne started the night by telling us she was going to finish
what she started on Sunday.
Back to some of the action.
During the break, though, for Jayne, who is in complete control.
Bang! Vicious neck breaker.
Really starting to turn the tide is now Valkyria trying to do the same.
Valkyria, last week, she took her game to a new level,
had quite the match
with the women's world champion, Rhea Ripley.
Looking for a victory this week.
A kick out. Jayne now takes Valkyria over.
Another near fall.
[Booker] Yes, indeed. Now Valkyria was great in that matchup.
It was like déjà vu.
It's a place where she had been before.
Came up a little short but did a whole lot for her confidence.
Here we go. -[Vic] Oh. Senton, the cover.
That's why I go back to what you say.
Rhea Ripley does care.
Rhea Ripley has predicted big things and has praised Valkyria.
[Booker] Stop thinking like that, Vic. Nice guys finish last in this business.
You've got to get to move up, right? You've got to move up.
You need to be a little bit more careful when you say stuff like that.
[Vic] I'm looking forward to later on tonight, a one-on-one.
Eddie Thorpe, Dijak.
What a hard-hitting affair that will be,
but what a way to kick things off here tonight between these two.
When you take a look at the whole body of the WWE,
we started this week in Texas,
we're going to end it in Detroit at SummerSlam.
It's Valkyria right here right now looking for a statement win.
[Booker] Educated feet.
We know all about that with this young lady, Valkyria.
If she could get a win off Jacy Jayne, the watchstar baby,
that would be huge.
[Vic] Valkyria, for a moment, was maybe looking for a northern lights suplex.
It was countered, and now Valkyria able to side-step Jayne.
Jayne, who's been a menace in the locker room--
[Booker] Oh, here we go.
[Vic] A menace in the women's division, a menace no more.
Jayne may be knocked out.
[Booker] What are you talking about "a menace"?
[Vic] She slapped me earlier, Book. What do you mean?
-[Booker] You probably deserved it. -[Vic] I didn't do anything.
[Booker] Like I said, you did something.
[Vic] Valkyria right now is trying to do something.
She's scaling her way to the top.
Looking to soar right onto Jayne with a high crossbody.
[Booker] Perfect.
[Vic] Right back in this time.
Northern light connects.
One, two--
[Vic] Oh.
[audience applauding]
[Vic] Now for Valkyria, maybe.
What does she have to do?
Talking about taking her game to a new level.
Maybe she learned a thing or two at that showdown with Ripley.
[Booker] Yeah, she's taking the game to another level,
but she just seems to be calling Jacy Jayne out
in everything she does here in NXT.
Not just in NXT, for NXT, Vic. Come on, stand up.
Give her props.
[Vic] Right now, I'm just trying to figure out
if she's going to be able to survive Valkyria.
Another strike and Valkyria…
[audience booing]
-[Vic] Continuing-- -[Booker] Big shot.
[Vic] This goes back again to The Great American Bash,
the brawl these two had at the H-E-B Center.
And for Lyra Valkyria, could be looking to finish things here tonight.
Jayne, under the jaw.
[Booker] Oh, very, very, badly nipped it.
Oh!
Nifty little spine buster right there. That could be it.
[Vic] Not quite enough.
And Jayne's shocked in disbelief.
But also, remember what she said earlier.
She said there would not be anyone around to pull her off Valkyria.
There are evil intentions in the mind of Jayne here tonight.
[Booker] It's a message, Vic. This is a message by Jacy Jayne.
"Hit me with your best shot." Like I say, she is the rising star.
She should get more respect around here.
As for-- -[Vic] Oh!
[Booker] Oh, yes.
[Vic] Another impressive kick under the jaw.
Jayne coming in. Swing and a miss.
Valkyria now answers back with a shot of her own.
[Booker] That was mean, Vic.
[Vic] We've seen Valkyria soar before.
Looks to fly again.
Big splash.
One, two, three.
[Vic] Statement win for Valkyria.
[Lyra Valkyria's music plays]
[female announcer] Here is your winner, Lyra Valkyria!
[Vic] Valkyria stated her eyes were on the NXT women's championship,
and a victory could be a step in the right direction.
During this match, Jacy Jayne-- I take nothing away from her.
She was looking great.
As you called it, bam,
that vicious spine buster driving the air out of the lungs of Valkyria.
It wouldn't be enough to keep Valkyria down.
After a major kick, we answer right back with Valkyria with one of her own.
That might have been the difference in the matchup.
A couple of those strikes, a couple of those shots,
for Valkyria,
reaching that huge splash off the top
would be all she wrote for Jacy Jayne here tonight.
A big, big win
for Lyra Valkyria.
[ominous music playing]
Hey, check it, bro.
The Great American Bash went crazy.
It did, though.
That would probably be your toughest challenge
but your greatest performance.
Look, it could have went either way.
That's why I had to grab that title
and do my trick with the motivational thing.
Man, lord, I needed it,
but I'm sorry that you had to cash that straight from Ilja, man. I don't know.
-My instincts, I just ducked it. -Forget that.
At least you got the duck. It's Trick-Melo game.
-We always going to be here. -That's what they say.
Yeah. [sighs]
-But check this. -What's up?
Now that Dragunov is in your rearview mirror,
I meant what I said last week.
Trick, you were saying a lot last week, bro.
I got to start doing this for me.
Man, I support that. We'll get your back.
Yeah, I don't think you understand what I'm saying, though.
What you saying?
-Look, man. We're Trick-Melo game. -Yeah.
We always going to be. I mean that. I'm ride or die.
Yes.
But I'm no sidekick, man.
Hey, I never saw you as a sidekick, bro.
I know you don't, but they do.
You're Carmelo Hayes.
You're on top right now.
You're doing your thing, rightfully so.
You're on track to be one of the greatest to ever do it,
but I ain't champion.
You are.
You defeated Mad Dragon, that's good.
I got to get him for myself.
I got to show him what I'm made of.
I'm going to slay that Mad Dragon.
Man.
Trick,
I respect that.
Look, man, this ain't no breakup.
I just got to be my own man.
[audience cheering]
Well, I always got your back, man.
Superstars.
-I won't miss. -I know you won't, bro.
-Love you, dawg. -Love you, bro.
-Go get it. -Yeah.
[sighs]
[Vic] I'm sitting here just as confused as Melo,
but there's the North American champion "Dirty" Dom
and the women's world champion, Rhea Ripley.
They are here. They are going to address the NXT Universe next.
Enough. This is bull.
Excuse me, Tony D, Stacks,
not exactly the tag team celebration you were hoping for tonight.
Doc, is there any kind of medical update that you can--
-Medical update? -I was just--
You want a medical update? Gallus, they're dead men walking.
That was an act of desperation.
We won the titles at The Bash and now--
And now, Gallus, they can turn their little car around
and bring their asses right back.
Because we want them tonight, and I mean all of Gallus.
Don, that's three on two.
[sighs]
I'll make a call.
A call to who?
Who? You know who.
We'll see if he picks up. Let's get out of here.
Tony, you got a minute? I'm not done here yet.
Listen, he's good, I'm good.
Let's go.
[Judgment Day's music plays]
[audience booing]
[female announcer] Please welcome,
representing the Judgment Day,
the women's world champion, Rhea Ripley,
and the NXT North American champion,
Dominik Mysterio.
[Vic] Now, "Dirty" Dom and Mami were up to their dirty tricks again
at The Great American Bash.
Mysterio able to retain his title in the Triple Threat matchup.
Sunday was big,
but this Saturday at SummerSlam could be bigger.
Finn Balor faces Seth Rollins for world heavyweight title.
Booker, Judgment Day could become more powerful than ever.
[Booker] You think? More powerful than they are right now?
You got to be kidding me, Vic.
You got to be kidding me.
[music continues]
[audience booing]
And still your NXT North American champion
"Dirty" Dominik Mysterio.
[audience booing]
Mami's always right.
Mami's always right,
and at The Great American Bash,
Dom proved that he is more of a man than Wesley.
He's more of a man than Mustafa Ali.
And he's certainly more of a man than every single one of you guys here.
[audience booing]
And that makes me the greatest luchador that's ever lived.
[laughs]
And that's a fact
because Dom continues to prove every single--
Oh, my God.
[Dragon Lee's music playing]
[audience chanting "Dragon Lee"]
Dominik, Dominik.
I won't let you disrespect the NXT Universe
or your heritage any longer.
[laughs]
Dom, look,
it's Rey Mysterio junior… junior, again.
[laughs]
I don't like you.
Dom, if I understand,
you call yourself the greatest luchador of all time?
I don't believe.
They don't believe.
And even you don't believe.
Because the greatest luchador of all time
is Rey Mysterio.
[speaking Spanish] Tu padre.
[audience cheering]
I made the Mysterio name relevant.
[audience booing]
[Dom] I'm the champion!
Ah, ah, ah, ah.
We all know you're still a champion
just because your mami…
Man, really, really,
I can't understand how she has takes… [grunts]
She has your cojones on her purse.
Dom's cojones are way bigger than yours.
Okay, okay.
Prove to me next week
with the title on the line.
[audience cheering]
I'm a fighting champion,
so let's see who we do next week.
And I'll be in my Dom's corner, of course.
Because Mami is all I need.
And wherever my latino heat goes, I go.
That's perfect,
because, next week,
I won't come alone either.
Yo, Dom.
Hey, Dom.
Dominik.
Yes, it's your father.
And guess what.
I am proud to say that I am coming next week to NXT
to be in the corner of someone I truly respect:
the future of lucha libre,
así es, el futuro, Dragon Lee.
Ey, I hate to break it to you,
but I'm going to have the best seat in the house,
and I can't wait
when Dragon Lee te parte toda la…
Yeah, you know what's going to happen.
Dragon Lee's going to take away that North American title.
See you there.
[audience chatting]
[Rey Mysterio's music playing]
[Vic] Booyaka booyaka, Book.
Rey Mysterio, the hall of famer, is going to even the odds for Dragon Lee.
It's made official next week live.
[indistinct chatter]
Woah. Hey, hey, hey!
First Trick, now you, what's good?
Don't act like you care, dawg,
you need to be more concerned with recovering from Dragunov.
Hey, you good?
Do you even care? Do you even care?
Hey, man, save all that self-pity.
Self… [chuckles] Self-pity?
Self pity.
Dawg, I have lost for three weeks in a row!
You are on top of the world right now.
You are NXT champion.
Tore the house down at Texas.
I am scraping for inches and fighting for my life.
Don't you dare act like you know what I'm going through.
Man, you better calm the hell down.
You don't understand what it is to be that champion right there.
I went through war on Sunday.
I can barely even breathe every time I try and take a breath.
You don't see me in here kicking over chairs
and complaining and whining about it.
Okay, another man is going to step up to the plate.
Dragunov is going to want his rematch.
Man, you know what? Nobody gets it because y'all ain't never lived it.
Now I understand why Breakker snapped.
Hold up.
I know just what it takes to be a champion.
-Oh, you do? -Yeah.
Hello, hello, hello!
Mensah, look at these sudden mad ghetto boys.
Life cannot be sweet if you're not in The Meta-Four.
And life… life is sweet.
That's because I am something neither of you boys ever will be,
and that is NXT Heritage Cup champion.
-You're not the Heritage Cup champion. -Hey, hey.
It's Frazer.
Wes wants to get real.
Hmm, Wes, Nathan never beat me,
but Dominik, he beat you twice.
[crosstalk]
[Eddy Thorpe's music playing]
[Vic] Book, emotions continuing to run high
here tonight on NXT.
[music continues]
[bell rings]
[female announcer] The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
Entering the ring first, Eddy Thorpe.
[Vic] And there have been some tensions as well surrounding Eddy Thorpe.
After being blindsided by Dijak recently,
he's ready to take out his frustration as these two square up.
Dijak, Thorpe,
one-on-one on NXT.
[rock music playing]
[music continues]
Thea Hail, you put up an incredible fight on Sunday night.
We saw you get a little emotional.
How are feeling now?
[sighs] I gave it everything I had.
I left it all in the ring.
Mr. Chase threw in the towel.
I didn't give up. I swear I didn't give up.
We know you didn't give up, but I had to throw in the towel.
-I didn't have any other choice. -You didn't have to throw it in!
Oh, my God.
I mean, seriously, this interview's over.
There's the exit.
No, it's not. This is our allotted time.
Well, then get it over with.
Say, "I'm sorry for crushing all your hopes and dreams," and go.
That's funny. I'm impressed you even got to watch the match
considering he was being thrown out building by an olympic gold medalist.
Okay, we're going to go there.
Well, if he shows his face again, I'll finish it.
Since you won't do this, I'll do it for you.
Excuse me, little girl,
this job,
it's not for everybody.
You tried and you failed.
And you peaked on Sunday,
so you should pack your things,
and you should find something else to do.
That's it, Corbin.
You're a piece of [bleep],
And I'm not going to stand here and let you talk to Thea like that.
Okay. Well, you can tighten your big-boy dress pants there
and do something about it if you want.
Yeah. I'll do that.
I'm not going to let him talk to you like that.
[Dijak's music playing]
[audience booing]
[music continues]
[female announcer] Making his way to the ring, Dijak.
[Vic] That was good of Andre Chase to stick up for one of his students.
That, again, being Thea Hail,
but I want to focus on the here and the now of this match-up
because it was Dijak
who cost Eddy Thorpe his match against Oro Mensah.
Obviously, Thorpe not happy about that.
[Booker] No, he's not happy about that.
Look at a guy like Thorpe in the locker room
and you think, "I can take him."
Then that dude unleashed that buzzsaw.
This going to be good, dawg.
[Vic] See, Thorpe has not taken his eyes off of Dijak.
And we're expecting this one to be a hard-hitting affair.
[Booker] Grown men. No, no.
Two grown men in the middle of this squared circle.
This is going to be good.
[bell rings]
[Vic] And right off the bat, looking for that boot one more time from Dijak.
That's what laid out Thorpe a couple of weeks ago.
Look at Thorpe hitting with intensity tonight.
You were impressed with Thorpe after NXT Underground.
[Booker] The world was impressed with Eddy Thorpe after Underground.
This kid brought the noise right there.
He's taking it to Dijak.
[Vic] And then, why were some,
mainly, just being Dijak,
not impressed with Eddy Thorpe?
Dijak wasn't impressed.
He said that to the whole locker room.
-[Booker] You know what? -[Vic] I just don't understand that.
High crossbody.
[Booker] Dijak is that guy
that feels like everything goes through him at NXT.
You got to make sure you check in at the gate, man.
-[audience chanting "Eddy"] -[Vic] As this match rolls on,
we're just being told this match has been made official
after what we just witnessed a few moments ago.
Big tag-team match later on tonight.
NXT champion, Carmelo Hayes, in action.
Cover. Hook of the leg and Thorpe able to kick out.
You look at Dijak, we've talked about it a little bit.
He was disgusted by the locker room
for the admiration that so many have shown Thorpe
since that Underground match.
Do you remember Underground? It was amazing.
[Booker] It was a great match.
A guy like Dijak, he feels like you always talk about, Vic,
locker room leaders.
This guy right here, he's all about street justice.
It's about paying your dues around here now.
I love having an enforcer like that around.
[Vic] These two swinging from the fences. Two heavy hitters tonight.
Same can be said Saturday at SummerSlam, intercontinental title on the line.
Drew McIntyre and Gunther.
[Booker] I got Gunther, man.
This kid is definitely in that mind-frame
that he may be the greatest champion that ever lived.
-[Booker] Oh, yes. -[Vic] Into the cover.
Quickly goes Dijak. Will it be enough and--
Oh, just able to kick out.
[Booker] Being in Japan at times, man, definitely did a lot of good for this kid.
That strong style puts him in positions
to take big shots like that right there, right there.
Oh, was there a kick-out?
[Vic] He was just able to get that right shoulder up.
When it comes to Dijak, he is methodical. You're starting to see it here right now.
He is dangerously disciplined as well when he steps into the ring.
Right now he's seeting his sight--
Oh, was maybe looking for that knockout.
Oh, but Thorpe answers back.
[Booker] Oh, beautiful timing there by this kid, Thorpe.
Let me say, Vic, this kid has rarely experienced.
You get in there, and you start feeling it later on.
Here we go.
[Vic] Almost with one arm crawled into the cover,
and Dijak's left shoulder just got off the mat.
[Booker] I don't know what tweaked that left shoulder.
[Vic] You see it, too.
You see Thorpe trying to get some feeling almost into his hand.
You got to go back.
Maybe it was that chokeslam.
That awkward landing or whatnot.
This could change the complexion of this match.
[Booker] I've had that feeling before.
It's like a pinched nerve, nerve damage right there for him.
Hopefully, he can get that blood flow back.
You don't need to be hurt or injured in there with a man like Dijak.
Trust me, it's not going to work out well.
[Vic] One thing we know about Thorpe is he is tough.
The locker room has told him that time and time again
over the last several weeks
but just got ripped down.
Dijak now focussing
on the elbow and shoulder of Eddy Thorpe.
The referee checking, might need to get in a little bit closer.
[Booker] Yes, indeed.
Sometimes I think about matches like this
where referees may have that wherewithal,
that understanding, and know-how to do this job
because I don't think it's going to get any better.
[Vic] And look at Dijak now.
[Booker] Wait a minute, I was wrong.
Beautiful.
[Vic] Nice German suplex for Thorpe.
Booker, this is where you typically would talk
about that adrenaline of a man kicking in.
[Booker] That adrenaline is talking right now.
Oh, hey, Thorpe is looking good. -[Vic] He used the injured arm.
Thorpe used the injured arm trying to get into the cover,
but Dijak able to roll away
and give himself a little bit of a break.
[gasping]
[Vic] Trying to regroup himself here, but look at Thorpe.
Thorpe with just one arm trying to drag Dijak back into the ring.
We knew this was going to be hard-hitting, but no, he didn't.
[Booker] I didn't like that right there. I don't like that.
That was a ploy by Dijak,
luring Eddy Thorpe right into that whirl of destruction, man.
[Vic] Dijak got him in,
just dropped him with a kick,
and now focused in, another one connects.
Thorpe may be out.
Dijak into the cover, and justice has been served tonight.
[female announcer] Here is your winner. Dijak!
[rock music playing]
[Vic] Back to some of this act. Take a look. Feel the impact.
Bam.
Right into that injured shoulder as well of Eddy Thorpe from Dijak,
who systematically took apart Thorpe throughout this matchup.
And tonight, his brand of justice was served.
I'm the toughest man in NXT.
You are a nobody.
You're never going to believe it.
They got us right outside the car.
What's he saying?
Look, if anyone understands, it's you, right?
Business is business.
Look, listen, you do this for me, we're even Steven.
Good?
[laughs]
Good.
All right, I'll see you. Bye.
-Is he in? -He's on the way.
-All right, good. -Let's go get him.
[Vic] Oh, we know the Don has some great connections,
but we'll have tag team matchup coming up here
in just a matter of moments.
Leon-Feroz, Vice-Lopez,
they square off next, live on NXT.
[John Cena's music playing]
[Vic] Congratulations go out to John Cena.
His newest film, Hidden Strike, the number one movie on Netflix
and the number one movie in the world.
[music continues]
[Kelani] Dang, Dee, you just kept hitting her, hitting her, and hitting her.
She didn't stand a chance.
Good for you, girl.
Cora should have never got on your bad side.
Cora brought something out in me.
I went to a really dark place.
Just kind of came out.
But that's the side of you people needed to see.
Yeah, after all the different directions my career has gone,
reading all those negative comments.
As soon as I got that kendo stick in my hands,
I lost it.
I saw red.
But you know what?
I kind of liked it.
[chuckles]
You know, Dee, you're kind of a badass.
-Yeah? -Uh-huh.
Something you need to tap into.
What do you mean?
All the gymnastics training we've been doing,
yeah, it's great and all,
but you need to find some aggression.
Get out there. Call someone out.
Find that killer instinct.
Killer instinct.
Yeah, you'll need it.
[Yulisa Leon's and Valentina Feroz's music playing]
[Vic] See Jordan's reaction.
That's definitely a different side of Dana.
[Booker] She's about to get this young girl killed, man.
What do you think?
[female announcer] Welcome to the main tag team match
scheduled for one fall.
Introducing first, the team of Yulisa Leon and Valentina Feroz.
[Vic] These two realized their dream on Sunday,
competing on The Great American Bash kickoff show.
[Elekra Lopez's and Lola Vice's music playing]
[female announcer] And their opponents,
the team of Elektra Lopez and Lola Vice.
[Vic] Speaking of The Great American Bash,
these two took to social media Sunday evening.
[Elektra] Look at them.
Look at them.
Pobrecitas. This is too cute.
They look so happy.
Está bien, they're going to crash and burn
the next time they don't have Nathan or Dragon to fight for them.
[speaking Spanish]
They don't got the fire that we got.
[Vic] Booker, who's going to have more fire tonight?
[Booker] I don't know, but I know it's about to get hotter
than that cholula green up in here, Victor.
[Vic] I mentioned for Leon and Feroz realizing their dream
competing at The Great American Bash is another step for these two here in NXT.
Lopez may be looking for a sleeper.
Leon adding to wiggle her way freely.
Leon never knew
if she'd get back here to compete with her best friend
after suffering such a devastating knee injury last fall.
[Booker] Of course, Vic. If they're going to need time off,
it is your worst enemy out of sight, out of mind.
To build your way back,
that right there tells me a whole lot about Leon.
[Vic] Leon-Feroz certainly growing with every single match.
Has now Lopez right back in, another takedown.
So far, we'd see who's bringing the fire here tonight
as Feroz makes the attack.
And Feroz. Oh, we saw some of this offense on display in Texas.
Cover and a kick out at one by Elektra Lopez.
What's Vice doing?
Oh, Feroz turned her back and Lopez taking advantage.
[Booker] Talking about somebody that's going to tilt to the right way
and show the ropes properly.
Elektra Lopez, all about taking shortcuts, and I like it.
It's about winning, Victor.
[Vic] A tag was made. Speaking of winning, got some more breaking news.
Baron Corbin, Andre Chase is official.
Here tonight is Vice into the cover.
-[Booker] Can't wait for that. -[Vic] Another kick-out.
Sure you like the Miami heat, so to speak, of Lopez and Vice.
[Booker] You know what? I'd like to go to another level.
Feroz and Leon may be the next coming of Corbin and Chase.
We know how good they were together, Vic.
[Vic] Put the air out of my lungs with that kick and right back in.
Lopez, Vice certainly want to showcase themselves here tonight.
They would have to consider this an upset
but a kick-out by Feroz at the last moment.
Now, Vice in control.
Look, all of Vice in MMA background.
It's a new wrinkle that Elektra Lopez has added to her game
as these two, much like Jordan and Dana Brooke spending a lot of time
training with one another.
A little like an enzuigiri.
Feroz on another cover and another kick-out.
[Booker] Yes, indeed. What I like about Lopez and Vice, Vic,
is not about friendship or anything like that.
It's about making sure we grind here and make this money, man.
It's about moving up the ladder, Vic.
[Vic] Feroz trying to get out, but the body scissors is locked in.
Leon trying to help, shoulders are down for just a second.
Able to wiggle away free.
Now trying to reach the tag one more time.
Feroz and a kick connects.
Back in comes Vice.
She's so close to making the tag, but not close enough as Feroz--
up and over.
[Booker] Timing's off just a little bit there.
[Vic] Makes a tag, timing was off, but a tag was made.
Oh, nice short-arm clothesline.
There is Leon, the powerhouse, the former powerlifter,
showcasing some of that power with a gauntlet suplex.
[Booker] Beautiful. You know what you're looking for in a tag team
is [indistinct].
Making sure the continuity is right, spacing it right now.
Leon is looking… oh, she's looking good, Vic.
[Vic] Cover, count, and Lopez having to break up the count
at the last moment,
but here comes Feroz. -[Booker laughs] Oh, yeah.
[Vic] Oh, throat to Feroz.
She may have just been isolated.
Leon dropping Lopez right when she turns around.
[Booker] You got to watch your back, Vic. That's it.
-[Vic] Good night. -[Booker] Wow.
[bell rings]
[Elektra Lopez and Lola Vice's music playing]
[female announcer] Here are your winners.
The team of Elektra Lopez and Lola Vice.
[Booker laughs] [indistinct]
[Vic] I hate to give you credit,
but you called it earlier
about how dynamic… bam!
This team could be here in NXT.
[Booker] Oh, man. I'm telling you, dawg.
Lola Vice just put some spice on that kick.
[Vic] Oh, this was a tag team match,
but one was made official earlier tonight,
and it's moments away.
The NXT champion, Carmelo Hayes, will be in action.
He's had a rocky night, but he'll team with Wes Lee
as they got into a scuffle with Dar and Mensah.
These four tangle next on NXT.
[rap music playing]
Get ready with me to celebrate retaining my NXT women's championship
at The Great American Bash.
This past Sunday, in Texas,
I faced a little girl full of energy,
Thea Hail.
I'm not even going to lie.
That little girl pushed me.
There were so many moments in that match where I wanted to give up.
My arm was hurting so bad.
I literally could have passed out from the pain,
but after weeks of torture, it is finally over.
Next week, I'll be back to grace you all with my presence again.
And who knows what I'll do?
Maybe I'll pick my next opponent.
Maybe I'll throw a Tiffybration,
or maybe I'll just do whatever the heck I want,
but whatever it'll be,
it'll be fabulous.
Toodles.
[Vic] Sure you can't wait for a Tiffybration.
[Booker] Thank God, man.
Yes.
[bell rings]
[female announcer] The following contest is a tag team match
scheduled for one fall.
Introducing first, Wes Lee!
[Vic] For Wes Lee, you can see it here, but we didn't see it earlier.
It's not really the same energy that we're used to,
I mean, rightfully so after the last several weeks.
[Booker] The letdown is definitely one of those feelings
where everything feel like the air being let out, Vic.
No more championship.
You walk in the building,
people look at you a little bit differently.
Yes, I understand exactly where this young man is coming from,
but you just got to get right back on the lifestyle,
back to the drawing board so to speak.
[Carmelo Hayes' music playing]
[audience cheering]
[female announcer] His tag team partner,
he's the NXT champion,
Carmelo Hayes.
[Vic] We've been talking about The Great American Bash
from this past Sunday in Texas.
Hayes answered a lot of questions about his durability.
A lot of questions about who he is as a champion,
but earlier tonight, Booker,
he was going to be curveballed by Trick Williams.
[Booker] You know, I don't think that was a curveball.
I think Carmelo Hayes has been seeing this coming for quite some time.
He can only stay back in the shadows for only so long,
and I think that's what that young man, Trick Williams is, Vic.
[Vic] A very interesting dynamic, to say the least,
between these two superstars
who have come together here tonight
for this battle.
[The Meta-Four's music playing]
[audience cheering]
[female announcer] Their opponents,
accompanied by Jakara Jackson and Lash Legend,
representing Meta-Four,
for Oro Mensah is "Supernova 11,"
Noam Dar!
[Vic] I have to disagree with Meta-Four,
I know that surprises you, Booker, that I'm disagreeing with Noam Dar.
Life isn't difficult when you're not in Meta-Four.
These four…
also Noam Dar is a little bit delusional.
Wes Lee just going at it by his own.
I just looked up. Carmelo Hayes threw his hand up.
Wes Lee doesn't give a damn right now.
There's Dar from behind him.
Really showing right now,
he's a little bit more aggressive than we're used to seeing
as Hayes finally even the odds.
[Booker] That's aggression, Vic. That's the reason that--
[Vic] You say he's losing his title?
[Booker] Losing that championship, and more importantly,
losing his cool, because you don't want to jump outside,
end up twisting the ankle, or something like that before the bell.
You don't get paid at the same time.
-[Vic] You're saying it's more of a wreck. -[Booker] Exactly.
It's not good judgment.
[Vic] Now I'm just taking a look around and things spilling all over NXT.
It's almost like we're right back
to how we started the night outside with Gallus
and the NXT tag team champions
as the referee trying to get some sought of order.
And finally, this matchup is underway.
It looks like Hayes is going to start things off with Noam Dar.
Mensah on the outside looking around. Oh!
[Booker] Very creative right there by this young man, Carmelo Hayes.
Now he's going on top.
[Vic] Carmelo Hayes is able to look around and see something different.
I want to ask you, did you view Trick as a sidekick?
It sounded like Williams was speaking to Carmelo earlier from the heart.
[Booker] You know, in a lot of ways,
I did view that man on the other side like Kato in The Green Hornet.
Sometimes you watch the show just to see Kato and what he's going to do.
He's actually the star of the show, so yes, I do get it.
[Vic] Tag was made. Mensah now in.
Here comes the main man.
Do you respect Trick's decision to be on his own?
[Booker] Sometimes you've got to do what you've got to do, Vic.
When, you know, time is a ticket,
you want your piece of the action,
your champagne wishes, and caviar dream.
You do what you've got to do, man.
[Vic] The altercation earlier tonight in the locker room
has led to this tag team matchup,
and what a feather it'd be for Oro Mensah, who has been on a little--
[Booker] Wait a minute.
That's main man, Mensah, to you, Vic.
[Vic] Mensah.
Mensah, Booker. Mensah.
It doesn't matter what you want to call him.
Right now, he's laying down looking at the lights.
And Wes Lee…
Again, this is just a different side of Wes Lee.
Into the cover. Hook to the leg.
We're thrown off a little bit right now by Wes Lee and his actions.
This was a little bit earlier in the matchup.
Look at Hayes. Bam!
Flying through the air with ease, tagging in.
For Wes Lee, I know what you've been talking about,
you've been talking about aggression, those that he has talked to,
he believes that some see his kindness as weakness.
There's another tag made.
[Booker] You can see that with this young man, Wes Lee, Vic.
Let me tell you, I wasn't 100% sold on Wes Lee,
but this kid has showed me he's a fighter,
and he'll take on all comers.
He's a true champion, and like I say,
perhaps the greatest North American champion
in NXT's history.
[Vic] A five was made. Now the rope grab.
Nice job by the official. That officially is a tag.
Speaking of a tag, look at this matchup later,
6-man tag, Tony D'Angelo, "Stacks,"
the new NXT tag team champions,
and a mystery man,
whoever the "Dimes" has been on the phone with,
going up against Gallus.
That's still to come here on NXT.
Take a look at Carmelo talking to the ref.
[Booker] You saw that miscommunication,
little miscommunication there by Wes Lee and Carmelo Hayes.
Wait a minute.
[Vic] Nice takedown. Into a cover.
Shoulders down. Near fall.
Yes, it was a little miscommunication reaching now.
Tag is made this time for Hayes.
I do want to say this too about Carmelo Hayes in the backing.
He referenced Bron Breakker.
Is there a sense of pressure now-- bam!
Nice drop kick. On the champion?
Is that pressure getting to the champion as he goes into the cover?
A kick out.
[Booker] Pressure every night when you're the champion, Vic.
I mean, everybody is shooting after you.
I mean, you know, that load of having to go out and do media days and all that.
You're the guy, you're the guy.
[Vic] Wes Lee tagging back in.
There's Lash, there's Jakara.
This tag team matchup ain't going to roll on.
Carmelo Hayes, Wes Lee trying to keep their cool.
[all screaming]
[Vic] Meta-Four with a lot of underhanded tactics
throughout the commercial break,
but have been in control as we were back live on NXT.
Noam Dar, Oro Mensah,
thanks to Jakara and Lash Legend
have been in control of Wes Lee
and the NXT champion, Carmelo Hayes.
I have got to say, isn't it quite the farce,
that counterfeit cup that's to your right, Booker?
[Booker] What are talking about? -[Vic] What do you mean?
Nathan Frazer is the real Heritage Cup champion.
[Booker] Why are you calling it counterfeit?
[Vic] Cause he's not real, he's not a real champ.
[indistinct]
[Booker] Are you a lawyer now?
[Vic] I would never look at that cup.
[Booker] Come on. What are you talking about, Vic?
[Vic] You know exactly what I'm talking about.
Mensah is the reason that Noam Dar is no longer the Heritage Cup champion.
A nice suplex cover.
And a kick out by Wes Lee.
[Booker] Beautiful technique by my main man, Mensah.
-I'm not doing this all night.
Mensah is in control of Wes Lee.
Look at Noam Dar there. He's calm, cool.
[Booker] Oh, yes.
[Vic] They have kept Wes Lee almost cornered away from Carmelo Hayes.
But a miss! Now an opening for Lee to go make the tag.
[Booker] I can tell you this, Wes Lee Lee is totally preoccupied.
His mind is definitely not here right now.
This is not the same Wes Lee that we're used to seeing, Vic.
[Vic] The same mistake made by Carmelo Hayes
after Trick Williams early tonight.
He had to do things on his own.
How would it affect Carmelo, at least at this moment?
Right now, the NXT champion is rolling.
[Booker] Oh, yes, he's rolling.
We know about this young man, when he shoots, Vic…
-[Vic] He don't miss. -[Booker] Yes.
[Vic] He didn't miss Sunday at Great American Bash
against Ilja Dragunov.
What a main event, The Great American Bash.
What a victory for Carmelo Hayes.
He's trying to keep that momentum here tonight,
trying to pick up another win.
[Booker] Melo is kicking too right now.
-[Vic] He might've just kicked. -[Booker] He's kicking into another gear.
[audience counting]
[Vic] No, another kick out.
I was about to say he might've just kicked out to the moon,
which is what we always hear from Noam Dar.
Noam Dar, very full of himself.
Maybe he got some sense knocked into him.
Right back to the outside.
This is a little bit more for Carmelo Hayes and Wes Lee.
Do you see a little more aggression out of these two?
-[Booker] No, no. This the champion.
This is the champion, Carmelo Hayes.
We're always talking about how good this guy--
Oh, he got caught.
[Vic] Oh, he got caught with that backhand.
Now Noam Dar trying to turn things around.
He got caught by Hayes.
Hayes, you had questions about his durability,
reeling,
had it taken to him by Dragunov,
but was able to answer everything like he's answering Dar right now.
[Booker] Beautiful, beautiful.
[Vic] Lee begging for the tag.
It's made for Wes Lee.
He'd love to get back to his winning way.
[audience cheering]
[Vic] Lee throws caution to the wind,
and… oh!
Oro able to break up the count,
but again Jackson paying dividends for Meta-Four.
[Booker] What a shot by Mensah.
[Vic] All four superstars in the ring.
The referee has his hands full in this matchup, as going low goes Dar.
Big punch right across the jaw.
And Dar got caught.
This is what we've seen so many times from the Kardiak Kid,
able to rise above looking for the Kardiak Kick.
[Booker] Oh. What? What?
[Vic] He thought he hit Dar, but he hit Hayes.
Mensah just connected, dropped Lee.
Boom!
Lee gets dropped by the nova roller,
and oh, my, what a win.
[Booker] Wow.
[female announcer] Here are your winners, Meta-Four.
[upbeat music playing]
[Vic] Shock across the NXT Universe
as Meta-Four,
that's a huge victory.
They just defeated two of the best in NXT.
This was a miscommunication, looking for that Kardiak Kick,
it connected, it rocked Carmelo Hayes.
Oro Mensah was able to come in capitalize, dropped Wes Lee,
and picking up the scraps with that nova roller was Noam Dar,
and by hook or by crook,
Meta-Four with a huge momentum-building victory tonight
as you got to wonder what's on the mind of Lee and Hayes.
What the hell was that?
What the hell was what? I was standing right there.
-Where were you? -You see me standing right here, bro.
Come on, dawg.
It's cool. It's cool, man. I ain't got time for that.
No, it ain't cool.
Where were you?
Said I ain't got time.
I ain't worried about this, man.
You may not be worried about it, but I am.
-I am! -Sure.
Chill the hell out.
Von Wagner,
how you holding up after that spear last week?
I mean, I hear you sting.
[sighs]
Man, I've had the opportunity to watch your story unfold
the past couple of weeks
and I got to say,
it's touching stuff,
it really is,
but I'm going to shoot you straight, Von.
You're a nobody,
just like your father was a nobody.
You're soft.
That's it.
I'm telling it like it is,
and if you don't like the things that I'm saying,
you come find me,
but I promise you, Von,
if you do try to come to find me,
you know that picture from when you were a kid
with the scar on your head,
you think that was bad?
[audience cheering]
Wait till I'm done with you.
[Baron Corbin's music playing]
[Vic] Badass Bron Breakker with a bold warning to Von Wagner.
[music continues]
[bell rings]
[female announcer] The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
Introducing first, Baron Corbin.
[Vic] His past destroyed.
Corbin looks to unleash some pent-up aggression
against Andre Chase.
Chase, Corbin go one on one next, live
right here on NXT.
[audience cheering]
To come down to NXT and steal my spotlight.
-I mean-- -[Axiom] Dom.
Dude, you are a parasite
leeching off your father's blood, sweat and tears.
Man, I can't wait for next week with Dragon Lee.
This guy again?
Didn't you already tell us earlier how much you love my dad?
Mami, didn't he?
You have to be kidding me.
That was Dragon Lee.
Then who the hell are you?
[Mustafa Ali] Hey, Dom Dom, hey!
Hey, listen.
No. No shot.
-I need to talk to you. -Hey, man, what is this?
-I was challenging him, man. -Axiom, give me one second, okay? Please.
We need to talk about Sunday, okay?
Yeah. You lost.
I'm not the one that got pinned.
Hey, man, what is this? What are you doing?
Axiom, I'm so sorry. Please. Just one minute.
[sighs]
Mate, I don't appreciate you disrespecting me like this.
What did you say? Dis…?
Oh, I'm sorry. Everybody, Axiom feels disrespected.
I'm so sorry-- Try being disrespected for six years!
Go worry about the Heritage Cup, go worry about SCRYPTS, okay?
That North American title, that's mine.
[Chase U's music playing]
[Vic] A lot of the superstars seem very frustrated.
[female announcer] His opponent, representing Chase University,
Andre Chase!
[Vic] Let's call it like it is.
It has not been the best 48 hours at Chase U,
but as Chase said,
he had no choice but to save Thea Hail at The Great American Bash.
[Booker] I feel sorry for Thea Hail. I really do.
I feel sorry that she has to be a part of a university
that's built up around a bunch of quitters.
[Vic] What are you talking--
you don't even believe some of the things you say.
You heard what Andre Chase said. -[Booker] You don't believe me?
[Vic] You don't. He had to save Thea Hail.
Do you think he meant to do that? You heard her.
She said she didn't quit. She didn't tap out in the ring.
Chase did what he thought he needed to do.
[Booker] Did you see Thea Hail's body language?
Read the tea leaves, Vic-- -[Vic] Oh, I forgot.
Miss Cleo is coming back out right now here on a Tuesday.
As Andre Chase, Baron Corbin.
These two had a few words earlier.
You see on the outside "The MVP" Duke Hudson is here.
Thea Hail is not herself
as we've seen throughout the day.
We talked about the women's championship,
the NXT women's champion, Tiffany Stratton, back next week.
And again, Hail said earlier
she gave everything she had at The Great American Bash.
[Booker] She did. She was so close to becoming champion
if it wasn't one certain individual, perhaps, let's just say that.
[Vic] Corbin overpowering Chase in the moment.
Chase up and over.
And again, Corbin one step ahead.
Look, for Corbin, he's burned the ships, his past is destroyed.
He's doing this as himself.
He's doing this alone,
which he won't have anyone to blame but himself.
There is no retreat if you're Baron Corbin now in NXT.
[Booker] I just think for one second here--
[Vic] Up and over, shoulders down one more time, and a split second away.
[Booker] Baron Corbin went one-on-one, toe to toe
with an olympic gold medalist,
and if it was all on points, Vic, I'd give the nod to Baron Corbin.
I'm just saying, I'm just saying.
[Vic] Those two couldn't be separated this past Sunday.
Did you see what you wanted to out of Corbin in Texas?
[Booker] Oh, yeah, this is the Baron Corbin
that I have been searching for, have been hunting for,
this lone wolf mentality.
Search and destroy.
Oh, yes.
[Vic] Hail usually running around, energetic, jumping for joy.
[Booker] Yes, that "rah rah mentality," it's gone, Vic. It's gone.
[Vic] Let's not forget it was Corbin, who here just drops Andre Chase,
called Thea Hail a little girl earlier tonight.
Don't you think it was a little uncalled for for Corbin
to chime in on a-- -[Booker] What are you talking about?
Corbin gave Thea Hail the best advice that she's gotten in quite some time,
in my opinion.
[Vic] Don't you tell me all the time, and I mean all the time,
mind your own business? -[Booker] Yeah, yeah.
[Vic] Why is Corbin sticking his nose in Chase U's business?
[Booker] No, I say business that concerns you.
That could be business that is very, very concerning to one Baron Corbin.
[Vic] For a man who thinks just about himself
you're telling me he's concerned about Thea Hail?
[Booker] I'm just saying, I'm just saying. Oh, yes.
Beautiful turnbuckle right there by Baron Corbin.
Just going out, this is about mayhem and destruction.
[Vic] If we were scoring these points,
I will give you a point for pivoting right there. Very well done there, Booker.
[Booker] Whatever.
[Vic] As Corbin wearing down Andre Chase,
and now pummeling Chase.
Chase U students' section on their feet.
You hear the NXT Universe.
Are some of the Universe questioning Andre Chase in this very moment?
[Booker] Of course they are.
One man who is not questioning him
but just beating the hell out of him, and that's Baron Corbin.
I'm talking about a golden glove boxing champion.
The guy played in the NFL. I mean, he's a baller.
He can do it all, Vic, and right now, I'm loving it.
[Vic] I just can't get over Thea Hail at this moment.
Get inside here, let's go. Come on, Corbin.
Inside.
[Vic] Just how her energy really has changed
in what we're typically used to seeing out of the 19-year-old.
[Booker] Don't think Thea Hail is not thinking
about what Baron Corbin said all of a sudden.
She's thinking about it.
[Vic] Oh, I'm thinking about what Andre Chase is doing right now,
and Chase going to the body of the much larger Baron Corbin,
and Andre Chase just got caught.
And Chase again, this time quickening the pace.
Goes right back down low on Corbin.
[Booker] Show me something, Andre Chase.
Show me something because, trust me, on Sunday night,
you didn't show me the right thing.
You didn't show me you have heart to let Thea Hail go out there
and fight the good fight.
You didn't show me that.
-Give me a C. -[audience yells "C"]
-H. -[audience yells "H"]
-A. -[audience yells "A"]
-S. -[audience yells "S"]
-E. -[audience yells "E"]
-U. -[audience yells "U"]
-What's that spell?
-[audience yells "Chase U"]
[Vic] I don't know if you noticed there,
but Duke Hudson was turning and trying to get Thea Hail
to chant along with the Chase U student section.
[Booker] Ain't nobody got time for no pep rally right now, Vic.
Nobody happy.
[Vic] Chase trying to rally himself.
Looking down.
Corbin, oh, Chase having to switch his game plan.
Got picked up and dropped
with a spinebuster from Corbin,
who can do nothing but smile,
and now Corbin locking in that single-leg leg crab.
[Booker] Oh, yes.
This is a different little weakling.
[Vic] What's Hail--
whoa,
and I don't think the official saw the--
Thea Hail, was she actually throwing in the towel on Andre Chase?
[audience cheering]
Now just walking away. Inside cradle.
Shoulders down, and that would have been an upset.
I'm more concerned now.
Thea Hail is gone.
"The MVP" Duke Hudson concerned.
He's making his way back down to the ring, and Andre Chase in a bad way.
Right now it is the end of days.
[Booker] Trouble in Chase U, Vic.
[audience] One, two, three!
[bell rings]
[female announcer] Here is your winner, Baron Corbin.
[Vic] Corbin certainly taking what is his,
and maybe the ship is heading in the wrong direction
for Chase University.
Really everything for Chase University started to go downhill
this past Sunday
at The Great American Bash in that submission match.
What are you--
Baron Corbin, give it up for him. Great win.
We're talking about The Great American Bash,
that was where we were on Sunday, Austin, Texas.
Let's talk about the next time
we got a premium live event coming your way live on Peacock.
We're going to be in California for No Mercy.
Thank you for walking in front of the on cam.
-They're trying to take our screen time. -[laughs]
Tickets are available this Friday.
There's a special presale however going on this Wednesday.
Use that QR code right now.
Sign up to get on that list.
You do not want to miss No Mercy, but we talk about Texas,
we talk about Great American Bash.
What about homecoming for Roxanne Perez.
Yes.
We're here.
Feels really good to be back in Texas.
I missed it so much and just feels like home.
Coming into the WWE, I feel like I really had to find myself here
and I was struggling with that, and I feel like now I know who I am.
I know who Roxanne Perez is,
and I know what she's not going to take
and what she's not going to stand for.
We're here at the hotel and my family just got here,
so haven't seen them in a few weeks.
I'm so excited.
[Christina] We're so absolutely proud of her
and all the hard work that she's put in to get to where she is.
-Hi! -Hi!
She really worked hard. She always says, "Thank you, mom."
I tell her, "This is all you."
[Raquel] Just being there is just like a crazy experience.
I mean, I probably will be covering my eyes 90% of the time.
Blair is in for a good ass-whooping if you ask me.
[upbeat music playing]
[Roxanne] We are at Dream Con.
I've never been, so I'm excited.
It's so much fun. I'm super into gaming.
It's so cool. I'm so happy to be here.
Tomorrow at The Great American Bash, you have a weapon's wild match.
Yes, Blair Davenport--
You're so full of it, aren't you?
Do you have a problem?
[man] Hey, yo! Hey!
Get back.
Hey, yo, we don't do that.
[Roxanne] She still is trying to come after me.
Blair, you're going to regret ever coming for me this Sunday.
Booker's taught me
that regardless of whether or not Blair hung a loss over me,
I can't think about the past.
I have to just keep on thinking about what I'm going to do next.
This match is for every single woman
that Blair took out for no apparent reason.
Blair Davenport's reign of terror ends with me.
[Vic] Oh, what the--
an ambush by Blair Davenport.
[Booker] Yes!
[yelling]
[ominous music playing]
[audience cheering]
[Roxanne] I'm not sorry for what I did to Blair Davenport,
and, quite frankly,
I'm done apologizing.
To anyone that forgot,
I'm Roxanne Perez,
and you can't break me.
[Vic] It was certainly quite the moment for Roxanne Perez in front of her family.
Wait a minute. Could this be the mystery partner?
Who's here? Who is it?
[Booker] How the hell do you think I know?
[upbeat music playing]
[music continues]
[chanting]
The Meta-Four once again above all, we are untouchable.
Hold up, wait a minute. Do y'all realize what just happened?
Please tell us, Lash. Go on.
Hello, y'all just beat the NXT champion
and the most successful North American champion of all time.
A round of applause.
Hey, it feels good to be great.
-We are the best as a team. -We're the best at it.
Noam, don't tell me you've gone and won back the Heritage Cup?
Whoa, man, have you been living under a rock?
Well, if you think about it, don't most of us spend our lives
living underneath these metaphorical rocks?
-Meta-Four rocks. -He's good.
These rocks, they create pressure,
which exactly why I've spent recent weeks away
on a meditation retreat
to decompress and reconnect with myself and my roots.
-You ever been to Tibet? -What?
-I don't know and I don't care what you just said,
but Noam clearly never lost the cup in the first place.
Thank you. Bye-bye.
-So you are the champ? -Yes.
Hello.
Okay, and you've beaten everybody you've ever faced?
Yes! That's the meditation kicking in.
Well, it sounds to me like you could do with a fresh opponent.
I don't think that's what we're saying.
Challenge accepted.
Next week, how's about yourself versus yours truly?
-Bye-bye now. -[woman] Don't touch.
I say bye-bye now. Don't touch it.
[Schism's music playing]
[female announcer] Please welcome Ava, The Dyad, and Joe Gacy, Schism.
[soft rock music playing]
We come tonight
under the Schism's tree due to unfortunate circumstances.
Conflict with new members is not uncommon,
but in our experience can be resolved and explored with an open heart.
However,
insubordination and disobedience
are toxic to our roots
and must be eradicated.
There are two people among you
who have abandoned our values
and pose a direct threat
to the sanctity and future of the Schism.
Time's up, fellas!
I can't wait.
You are going to get yours now.
You're not in Diamond Mine anymore, lads.
Rip, Jagger, back down.
We will do our due diligence.
Ava, if you would, please.
Week after week, the NXT Universe has been adorned
with these golden masks,
and it is a butterfly effect
that will have a lasting impact for years to come,
but two of those masks put their hands on The Dyad last week,
and that is unacceptable.
Tonight, you will be found out and you will be punished.
Step forward one by one and remove your masks.
Go on.
Take it off. Go on.
Take it off.
-Get out. Next. -Get out!
-Come on. -Out!
You, down.
Get it off now.
-Go on! -Get it off.
-Get out. -On your way.
Number three, come on.
[audience cheering]
Jiro, you're not a part of this!
Get out!
You think this is funny? Get away now. On your way.
-Out. -Is this a joke?
Is this meant to be a joke to you?
This is serious business.
You, it's obviously not you. Get out!
You're out now.
We know who it is, we know who it is.
You two, down now.
I can't believe that you have the nerve to stand here so calmly.
Creed brothers, you think you can get one over on us.
Hey, Joe, Rip, Jagger, we're up here.
Look up here, dummy. -Hey, what are you guys doing, man?
You're beating on those guys. You guys need to relax.
Chill.
I bet that they thought that those guys were us.
[both laughing]
You guys thought that was us in those masks?
You thought we were wearing those masks?
Hey, in all fairness, the surround sound at the hotel last week
did make it feel like we were right there for your guys' match.
Hey, right there. That was pumping, baby.
Joe, I think the UFOs might have fried your brain waves.
Oooooh!
Because your suspicions, they're off. We're gone.
We lost the Loser Leaves town match. We're no longer in NXT.
No, but hey, we're having the time of our lives, baby.
Time of our lives, baby.
Hey, we were over at the pyramids earlier this week.
-Oh, yeah, oh, yeah. -Get a picture of me.
-Oh, I'm out of film. -Hey, that's all right.
We jumped over to Eastern Island.
Hey, they look like Schism masks, don't they?
-They look just like Schism masks. -Not that we would know.
Not that we would know, but our favorite place to be
is right here on the beach in Hawaii. -Fiji.
-Hawaii. -Fiji.
It doesn't matter whether we were here or we were there.
We're in both places. It's just a little bit jumbled right now.
The most important thing, though, is that we're not in Orlando.
We're not in Orlando like at all.
We're not even close to Orlando.
We just wanted to call you guys, check in, and thank you guys for the vacation.
-Oh. -Clink.
In sync, baby.
Oh, look at that. Hey, that's our call, guys.
-We got to go… -You want to send a message?
This is your fault.
Hey, no!
Not like this.
Creed brothers,
I know you're here somewhere.
Attention, followers of the Schism worldwide,
find the Creed brothers and bring them to us!
[Schism's music playing]
[Vic] Well, it seems that the Schism, Book,
has a few cracks in its roots.
We got to move on to the main event here on NXT.
There you see Gallus, who attacked the new tag team champions.
That's how we started the night, but who has The Family found?
They use their connections, they got on the phone.
Who's their partner? 6-man tag next.
Move, move, move. I can't even believe this.
I just lost to Dana Brooke. Dana Brooke of all people.
You know, the one who comes from Raw and tries to steal my spotlight?
Yes, that one. You know what? Forget it.
I'm done. I'm leaving. I'm sick of this place.
Why am I even here?
I don't even understand why I'm here anymore.
So what? I'm leaving.
What am I doing?
These fans, all they want to do is know my business,
and you know what?
They can know that I'm leaving.
Excuse you?
Oh, and one more thing.
Good luck without me.
You're going to need it.
[pants]
[NXT's music playing]
[Vic] Speaking of good luck, they're going to need it.
That might be what "Dirty" Dom needs as he's going up against Dragon Lee.
"Dirty" Dom won't have an advantage.
Dragon Lee will have the legendary,
the hall of famer Rey Mysterio in his corner.
North American title is on the line next Tuesday.
Also, this matchup is official.
Bron Breakker warned Von Wagner tonight after spearing him last week.
Von Wagner wants a piece of the former NXT champion.
Giant Grudge match takes place next week live on NXT.
Booker, it is main event time.
[Gallus' music playing]
[bell rings]
[female announcer] The following contest is a 6-man tag team match
scheduled for one fall.
Introducing first, Gallus.
[music continues]
[Vic] These three started the night attacking the new tag team champions.
They have the numbers advantage at the moment.
They just showed the world earlier tonight
they are sore losers after Texas.
[Booker] Yes, we about to get it on, dawg.
[Tony D'Angelo's music playing]
[female announcer] And their opponents, first,
they are the new NXT tag team champions,
Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo
and "the Don of NXT" Tony D'Angelo.
That's right I called an old friend,
I called an old friend.
Watch and see.
[Vic] Who is it?
[LWO's music playing]
[audience cheering]
[female announcer] And their tag team partner,
representing the LWO,
Santos Escobar!
[Vic] Booker, he's back!
Santos Escobar on NXT.
The number one contender to the United States title
meeting an old friend,
and these six are laying it in.
[Booker] Tony D, Tony D made the call, man, and what a call it was.
[Vic] This place just fired up.
Look at everyone on their feet.
[Booker] Calm down, Vic. Calm down.
[audience chanting "Welcome back"]
[Vic] Quite the history between Escobar, D'Angelo,
between Legado and The Family.
[Vic] I suppose what is called mutual respect at this point, Book.
[Booker] Oh, wow.
[Vic] I did not expect to see Santos Escobar here tonight on NXT.
As a tag was made.
As Stacks, the Don,
the new NXT tag team champions picking up
where they left off this past Sunday. Bam.
[Booker] Santos Escobar, he knows,
he knows about those two things I always talk about, Vic.
Checks and championships.
Let's go get this money tonight, dawg.
[Vic] Talk about a memorable turf war between Legado and The Family,
between the Don and Santos Escobar
who sat so many times whether it was on a boat or a sit-down.
I'm just baffled that I'm seeing these two teaming together right now.
[Booker] Yes, but this is the first time in quite some time
that we've seen all the Gallus boys in the ring at the same time.
This thing could get ugly, Vic.
[Vic] I could only imagine what's going through the mind of Gallus.
Would they have rethought their decision from earlier tonight
to ambush the new champions upon arrival here tonight?
[Booker] I don't think so.
Gallus, they're all about coming in here taking over, Vic.
You know they came back and within 30 days
they were the tag team champions.
They're looking to get back to that point.
[Vic] Oh.
Uh-oh.
Oh, wait a minute. Now, Santos getting involved.
They're going to throw around some spicy meatballs.
[Booker] Wait a minute. Come on, Vic.
Put away the linguine.
[Vic] Hockey fight breaking out.
D'Angelo wiping out Coffey.
Oh, that would be Mark.
Here comes Joe.
He takes a ride.
Santos, the Don, The Underboss rolling.
[audience chanting "This is awesome"]
[Vic] I can't believe what we're seeing.
[Vic] 6-man tag team match rolling on.
As we saw throughout that break,
Gallus really has taken control of this matchup.
I mean, Stacks is right here at the announce desk,
ruined your Doordash order,
and Gallus has turned things around.
And right now you got to start to wonder,
maybe they did weather that storm early on.
[Booker] Like I say, Gallus boys looking to get back to that spot
very, very quickly,
and it starts tonight, Vic.
[Vic] Are they finally coming to terms that they were outsmarted by The Family?
Into the cover goes Mark, and a kick out.
They've been outsmarted at every turn.
Outsmarted yet again tonight with Santos.
[Booker] Look, Vic, when you're sitting behind bars like Tony D,
you got a whole lot of time on your hands thinking about shenanigans.
How you going to go back and make this thing happen.
That's all it was. That's all it was, Vic.
Oh, wow.
[Vic] Sidewalk slam into the cover on Joe Coffey,
and Stacks able to kick out.
Gallus coming to the realization over the last 48 hours,
this is not their kingdom anymore.
As Wolfgang coming in, and he is the wild card of the trio.
[Booker] Yes, Vic, but it is always much, much sweeter the second time around.
Trust me.
Two, three.
Tag.
[Vic] Another tag made, and here comes Mark Coffey.
It seems that Gallus, here, separating Stacks from the rest.
[Booker] Can I just say this for a second? Beautiful tag team by Gallus.
[Vic] And a kick out.
While this match is continuing to roll on, we got some breaking news for next week.
The Heritage Cup will be between Noam Dar and Tyler Bate.
A Heritage Cup match between Bate and Dar. That's going down.
Also, Mustafa Ali is going to go up against Axiom
after their little interaction earlier tonight
as they were trying to both talk
to the North American champion, "Dirty" Dom.
Let's not forget about Dominik Mysterio
defending the North American title next week against Dragon Lee.
Rey Mysterio will be in Dragon Lee's corner.
[Booker] I never thought I'd love these Heritage Cup matches,
and the Heritage Cup rules, oh, so much. What a dynamic match.
[Vic] Oh, a cheap shot on Santos Escobar.
-[Booker laughs] -[Vic] From Mark Coffey.
That's what you get for showing up unannounced.
[Vic] Oh, that's what you get
for jumping the tag team champions earlier tonight.
As Stacks reaching out,
and Joe Coffey just ripped Tony D.
[Booker] Beautiful move. Beautiful.
[Vic] Divide and conquer.
Now, Wolfgang with his sights set on Stacks.
[Booker] What a win, what about a big win, what it would do for the Gallus boys.
Oh, my God, man.
Confidence off the charts. Oh, wow.
[Vic] The same thing we talked about with Wes Lee earlier tonight.
Needing a win, needing to bounce back. Right now, a tag was made,
and the number one contender for the United States championship,
Santos Escobar,
hitting everything and anything
as he gears up to face Austin Theory
on the August 11th edition of SmackDown for the gold.
He's here tonight and he has brought his best.
[Booker] This guy, he's a star, this kid's an international star.
Tonight, he's proving why he is truly one of the best.
Oh, big kick by Santos.
[audience cheering]
[Vic] Big high crossbody.
Oh, how good is it to see Santos Escobar back in an NXT ring?
Going right through. Sits down, cover, and Gallus, whoa.
-[Booker] How good is it? -[Vic] We're breaking down.
[Booker] Not so good for the Gallus boys. What are you talking about?
[Vic] I'm not worried about the Gallus boys.
I'm worried about The Family. I'm worried about Santos Escobar.
It was supposed to be a celebration tonight
for the NXT tag team champions when they arrived,
until Gallus ambushed them.
Let's not forget how this all started, Book.
You want some? Come on.
[Booker laughs]
Oh, yes.
Blood party.
Bloody party, Vic.
[Vic] Who's going to finish it?
Oh, look out now. I'm not liking where this is going.
[Booker] I better get my stuff.
[Vic] You better. You really turned into the Spanish announce table,
so to speak, the past several weeks.
Getting ping-ponged around here on your own.
Escobar climbing the ladder, rocking Coffey.
Santos Escobar looking for a little tune-up
ahead of that United States championship match.
[Booker] Oh, shucky ducky quack quack moment, Vic.
[Vic] You can say that again, Book.
[Booker] Shucky ducky quack quack moment in the house.
[screams]
[Vic] Escobar rocking, makes a tag. In comes Stacks.
Now in comes Tony D, and you know what's next, Book.
Say it with me.
[Vic and Booker] Bada boom, bada bing.
[Vic] No, it's the other way around. D'Angelo, cover.
The Family stands tall.
[Tony D'Angelo's music playing]
[female announcer] Here are your winners,
Santos Escobar and the NXT tag team champions,
Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo and Tony D'Angelo.
[audience cheering]
[Vic] Escobar looking on,
because things certainly have changed
since the last time Santos was in NXT.
One thing that hasn't changed, Santos Escobar.
He brought it tonight like he does every single time
he steps into the ring, anywhere around the world.
He really was the difference-maker tonight
here for the Don, here for Stacks,
and this, much like on Sunday at The Great American Bash,
bada bing, bada boom. -[Booker] Bada boom, bada bing, right?
[Vic] The NXT tag team champions victorious, and how sweet it must be.
And what a moment this truly is.
If you had knew what these men went through here on NXT,
this is quite the moment to bury the hatchet,
show some love, show some respect.
[upbeat music playing]
[audience chanting "Welcome home"]
[Vic] Oh, no! Dragunov bounced off that NXT title.
Trick Williams, you are the sole reason I am not NXT champion.
You're saying you're not done with me?
Good. Because I'm not finished with you either.
Trick, look into my eyes.
Now you will feel my wrath and my fury.
Next week, my retribution begins,
and I won't stop
until you are entirely terminated.
[ominous music playing]
