-Hello?
-T, I need you over here.

We got a situation
that needs to be handled.

What do need me for?

Everybody's watching me.

Yes, it was good.

as the mixed tag match tonight.

I got respect for both of them,

37
00:01:35,662 --> 00:01:37,097

that he's more than a talking head.

Who you got in the main event?

He's a human stick of dynamite

to take that NXT title away from him.

is going to do the unthinkable tonight

I believe him.

92
00:04:07,146 --> 00:04:10,717

what you wish for, Victor,

because this young man, Ilja Dragunov…

125

You don't want to go looking for a fight

[crowd screaming]

129
00:05:46,779 --> 00:05:47,680
[Vic] For Williams,

130
00:05:47,747 --> 00:05:51,217
it feels that Dragunov
has tossed figuratively and literally

131
00:05:51,284 --> 00:05:52,819
cheap shots towards him.

132
00:05:52,885 --> 00:05:55,288
That's even prior
to The Great American Bash

133
00:05:55,354 --> 00:05:56,489
as Trick tries to fight through.

134
00:05:56,556 --> 00:06:00,193
[Booker] Let me tell you something.
Ilja Dragunov is telling it like it is.

135
00:06:00,259 --> 00:06:03,363
This dude right here, Ilja,
like you said just a second ago,

136
00:06:03,429 --> 00:06:04,464
isn't playing.

137
00:06:04,530 --> 00:06:06,499
No jumping. He's just business.

138
00:06:06,566 --> 00:06:07,633
Oh, yes.

139
00:06:07,700 --> 00:06:09,669
[Vic] A kick connected
and rocked Williams.

140
00:06:09,736 --> 00:06:11,237
[Booker] He's bringing the noise.

141
00:06:11,304 --> 00:06:13,339
[Vic] We talked about
the professional and personal pressure

142
00:06:13,406 --> 00:06:14,974
on the shoulders of Williams…

143
00:06:15,041 --> 00:06:17,944
He wants to prove to the world
what he is capable of,

144
00:06:18,010 --> 00:06:19,912
and the same can be said for Wes Lee,

145
00:06:19,979 --> 00:06:24,684
who goes toe-to-toe with Hayes
for the NXT title in the main event.

146
00:06:24,884 --> 00:06:26,786
Can he win the big one here tonight?

147
00:06:26,853 --> 00:06:30,256
Of course, mixed tag team action
coming our way later tonight too,

148
00:06:30,323 --> 00:06:31,457
here at NXT Heatwave.

149
00:06:31,524 --> 00:06:32,725
[Booker] I get it, Vic.

150
00:06:32,959 --> 00:06:37,063
You don't want to go picking a fight
with The Mad Dragon.

151
00:06:37,130 --> 00:06:39,599
That's just not…
You got to pick your poison.

152
00:06:40,066 --> 00:06:42,235
Oh, my God. Man.

153
00:06:42,301 --> 00:06:44,604
[Ilja screams]

154
00:06:44,670 --> 00:06:46,939
[crowd screaming]

155
00:06:47,306 --> 00:06:50,910
[Vic] Again, it's Dragunov,
who said he should be NXT champion.

156
00:06:50,977 --> 00:06:55,414
The tape shows Dragunov
launching himself at Carmelo Hayes,

157
00:06:55,481 --> 00:06:57,550
who moved and he collided with Trick.

158
00:06:57,617 --> 00:06:58,885
It was inadvertent.

159
00:06:58,951 --> 00:07:00,520
[Booker] There is no doubt.

160
00:07:00,586 --> 00:07:04,757
No limitations to how far
Ilja Dragunov's career is going to go.

161
00:07:04,824 --> 00:07:07,326
He's extraordinary.

162
00:07:07,393 --> 00:07:08,761
He's special.

163
00:07:08,928 --> 00:07:10,563
He's special, Vic.

164
00:07:10,797 --> 00:07:12,465
[Vic] Trick Williams, last week,

165
00:07:12,532 --> 00:07:16,803
stood toe-to-toe with Drew Gulak,
but Dragunov is different.

166
00:07:16,869 --> 00:07:18,137
[Booker] Yes, Dragunov.

167
00:07:18,204 --> 00:07:21,207
You're talking about a seven-course meal.

168
00:07:21,274 --> 00:07:23,543
I'm talking about coffee and dessert.

169
00:07:23,776 --> 00:07:25,411
That's what we're talking about.

170
00:07:25,678 --> 00:07:28,247
[Vic] Trick Williams
is trying to serve up anything.

171
00:07:28,314 --> 00:07:31,450
He created a little separation,
but look at… Dragunov, right in.

172
00:07:31,517 --> 00:07:32,919
Almost in the throat.

173
00:07:32,985 --> 00:07:34,720
[Booker] Dragunov's doing one thing.

174
00:07:34,787 --> 00:07:37,590
Keeps Trick Williams close to the body,

175
00:07:37,657 --> 00:07:40,893
but that dropkick
was a pinpoint precision.

176
00:07:40,960 --> 00:07:41,994
Perfect.

177
00:07:42,061 --> 00:07:43,863
[Vic] Williams, wrongfully,

178
00:07:43,930 --> 00:07:46,699
has been branded
by some as just a sidekick.

179
00:07:46,766 --> 00:07:49,035
He wants to quiet those whispers tonight.

180
00:07:49,101 --> 00:07:51,871
Caught, swing,
and he might have just caught it.

181
00:07:51,938 --> 00:07:55,007
Maybe caught Dragunov
on the bridge of the nose.

182
00:07:55,074 --> 00:07:57,477
Sometimes,
that's worse than getting clocked.

183
00:07:57,543 --> 00:07:58,845
-[Vic] Bam.
-[Booker] Beautiful.

184
00:07:58,911 --> 00:08:00,980
[Vic] The dropkick
was a no-doubt-about-it.

185
00:08:01,180 --> 00:08:04,750
[Booker] You're talking about
being a sidekick to Carmelo Hayes.

186
00:08:04,817 --> 00:08:07,687
There's nothing wrong
with hanging with Carmelo Hayes.

187
00:08:07,753 --> 00:08:09,889
First-class treatment all the way,

188
00:08:10,089 --> 00:08:12,491
but sometimes you've got to step up.

189
00:08:12,558 --> 00:08:14,527
[crowd screaming]

190
00:08:14,594 --> 00:08:16,462
[Vic] The referee
is starting his count at four,

191
00:08:16,529 --> 00:08:19,932
and Dragunov wants to win this
inside the squared circle.

192
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,970
Dragunov almost locked in.

193
00:08:24,270 --> 00:08:26,038
[crowd screaming]

194
00:08:26,405 --> 00:08:27,773
Dragunov, Williams.

195
00:08:30,109 --> 00:08:32,211
[crowd cheering]

196
00:08:32,278 --> 00:08:33,546
[Vic] Back live on Heatwave.

197
00:08:33,613 --> 00:08:35,648
Former NXT and WWE champion, Big E,

198
00:08:35,715 --> 00:08:38,518
said this was the match up
he was looking forward to.

199
00:08:38,584 --> 00:08:41,187
It has not disappointed
throughout the break.

200
00:08:41,254 --> 00:08:44,524
Dragunov
has been on a mission in this match.

201
00:08:44,590 --> 00:08:45,424
[Booker] Man.

202
00:08:45,491 --> 00:08:48,761
[Vic] He said he was more dangerous
than anyone could imagine.

203
00:08:48,828 --> 00:08:53,199
[Booker] I can't think
of no one more diabolical

204
00:08:53,266 --> 00:08:56,869
than this man, Ilja Dragunov, here on NXT.

205
00:08:56,936 --> 00:08:59,405
He's willing to go to that place.

206
00:09:00,139 --> 00:09:02,174
The pain threshold, Vic.

207
00:09:02,241 --> 00:09:03,776
[Vic] Williams' saying "Bring it."

208
00:09:03,843 --> 00:09:05,611
Williams is answering back as well,

209
00:09:05,678 --> 00:09:09,181
and I don't know if Dragunov thought
he was going to get that sort of…

210
00:09:09,248 --> 00:09:10,516
Oh.

211
00:09:10,583 --> 00:09:12,318
[crowd cheering]

212
00:09:12,485 --> 00:09:15,187
[Trick speaks to Ilja]

213
00:09:15,354 --> 00:09:16,789
[Vic] This is Trick's moment.

214
00:09:17,590 --> 00:09:19,425
You don't want to show you're a sidekick.

215
00:09:19,492 --> 00:09:20,993
You got to go for the knockout blow.

216
00:09:21,060 --> 00:09:23,195
[Booker] Oh. Right there. This is it.

217
00:09:23,262 --> 00:09:27,366
This young man
is taking it to the street and I love it.

218
00:09:27,433 --> 00:09:29,201
[crowd cheering]

219
00:09:29,268 --> 00:09:31,437
[Vic] Trick firing back.
Got caught with counter offense.

220
00:09:31,504 --> 00:09:33,940
Right back Williams comes. Drops Dragunov.

221
00:09:34,006 --> 00:09:36,909
[Booker] Paying for this match right here,
Vic, is gut check.

222
00:09:36,976 --> 00:09:40,279
Right now,
Trick Williams is about gut check.

223
00:09:40,346 --> 00:09:41,847
[Vic] Booker, look around.

224
00:09:41,914 --> 00:09:42,882
Listen.

225
00:09:42,949 --> 00:09:48,554
[crowd chants] NXT!

226
00:09:48,621 --> 00:09:50,790
[Vic] NXT Universe on their feet.

227
00:09:50,856 --> 00:09:53,893
They know these two
have been on a path of destruction

228
00:09:53,960 --> 00:09:55,394
for the last two months,

229
00:09:55,461 --> 00:09:57,597
leading us here tonight to Heatwave.

230
00:09:57,663 --> 00:09:58,497
[Booker] Let me talk about Trick.

231
00:09:59,031 --> 00:10:01,867
This young man is doing something amazing

232
00:10:01,934 --> 00:10:04,904
going toe-to-toe with The Mad Dragon.

233
00:10:04,971 --> 00:10:06,572
This is awesome, Victor.

234
00:10:06,639 --> 00:10:09,375
[Vic] Well, for Trick,
he wants to stand on his own.

235
00:10:09,442 --> 00:10:10,810
This is the way to do it.

236
00:10:10,876 --> 00:10:13,446
[Booker] I tell you.
I look at the logo of the flames.

237
00:10:13,512 --> 00:10:16,015
I love being a part of a Harlem Heat,

238
00:10:16,449 --> 00:10:19,418
but to do it on your own,
to say, "I did that."

239
00:10:19,485 --> 00:10:20,653
Oh, yes.

240
00:10:20,720 --> 00:10:22,888
That's what Trick Williams
is doing right now.

241
00:10:22,955 --> 00:10:24,991
[Vic] Not to steal one
of your catchphrases,

242
00:10:25,558 --> 00:10:27,927
but Trick Williams
is throwing hands right now.

243
00:10:27,994 --> 00:10:29,595
[Booker] Oh, yes.

244
00:10:29,662 --> 00:10:30,663
Oh, yes.

245
00:10:30,896 --> 00:10:32,431
[crowd screaming]

246
00:10:32,498 --> 00:10:34,000
[crowd screaming] Oh!

247
00:10:35,568 --> 00:10:37,870
[Vic] We know Dragunov loves pain.

248
00:10:38,204 --> 00:10:40,039
He has a high thresholder.

249
00:10:40,106 --> 00:10:41,340
Now, he's the one.

250
00:10:42,274 --> 00:10:45,945
[crowd screaming]

251
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:49,949
Williams
almost stepping on the heart of Dragunov.

252
00:10:50,016 --> 00:10:53,753
[crowd chants]

253
00:10:53,819 --> 00:10:54,987
[Vic] A very… [laughs]

254
00:10:55,054 --> 00:10:57,857
…vocal and rowdy NXT Universe
here tonight.

255
00:10:57,923 --> 00:11:00,559
This is just the opening match up
of the night.

256
00:11:00,626 --> 00:11:02,762
[Booker] These two guys
are going toe-to-toe.

257
00:11:02,828 --> 00:11:06,332
This is one of those times
where these two guys

258
00:11:06,399 --> 00:11:09,769
are going to have to fight each other
on numerous occasions.

259
00:11:09,835 --> 00:11:12,271
That opponent
that brings the best out of you.

260
00:11:12,338 --> 00:11:13,873
That's who we're talking about.

261
00:11:14,173 --> 00:11:16,976
[Vic] Trick Williams
showcasing what he can do.

262
00:11:18,144 --> 00:11:20,012
Trying to step out of the shadows.

263
00:11:20,079 --> 00:11:21,280
-[Vic] Perfect.
-[Booker] Whoa.

264
00:11:21,347 --> 00:11:24,417
-[Vic] What a knee. Dragunov might be out.
-[Booker] Good, God.

265
00:11:24,483 --> 00:11:25,651
[crowd counting] One, two…

266
00:11:25,718 --> 00:11:28,254
[Vic] Oh.

267
00:11:29,055 --> 00:11:30,489
God bless.

268
00:11:31,791 --> 00:11:32,925
Check this out.

269
00:11:33,993 --> 00:11:34,894
Bam.

270
00:11:35,061 --> 00:11:36,195
[crowd cheering]

271
00:11:36,262 --> 00:11:38,664
[Vic] Dragunov
almost got kneed back over the pond.

272
00:11:38,731 --> 00:11:41,000
[Booker] I'm in shock.
I'm in shock right there.

273
00:11:41,067 --> 00:11:43,135
Ilja Dragunov kicked off
but I'm wondering,

274
00:11:43,202 --> 00:11:47,773
has the damage
been done by that one big shot?

275
00:11:48,340 --> 00:11:50,943
[Vic] I had an out-of-body experience
seeing that knee.

276
00:11:51,010 --> 00:11:52,211
[Booker] Yes.

277
00:11:52,278 --> 00:11:53,212
[Vic] Look at Williams.

278
00:11:53,279 --> 00:11:56,115
Oh, got countered. Nice DDT by Dragunov.

279
00:11:56,182 --> 00:11:59,552
Now, Dragunov quickly, wisely,
trying to close the door.

280
00:11:59,618 --> 00:12:01,954
A DDT of his own spiking Williams,

281
00:12:02,021 --> 00:12:04,457
floats over into the cover,

282
00:12:04,523 --> 00:12:06,926
and Williams is able to power out.

283
00:12:06,992 --> 00:12:10,196
[crowd cheering]

284
00:12:10,262 --> 00:12:11,263
[Booker] Wow.

285
00:12:11,330 --> 00:12:13,099
[crowd cheering]

286
00:12:13,165 --> 00:12:16,068
[Booker] This is a place
that Ilja Dragunov

287
00:12:16,135 --> 00:12:18,404
is very familiar being in.

288
00:12:18,471 --> 00:12:21,974
-[Vic] Those deep waters, right?
-[Booker] Those deep waters. Yes.

289
00:12:22,041 --> 00:12:23,075
[crowd screaming]

290
00:12:23,142 --> 00:12:24,977
[Vic] How will Williams answer?

291
00:12:26,312 --> 00:12:33,285
[crowd singing] This is awesome!

292
00:12:34,620 --> 00:12:38,057
[Vic] This could be a big risk
for Dragunov.

293
00:12:38,724 --> 00:12:41,527
Trick Williams
is doing his best trying to wiggle free,

294
00:12:41,594 --> 00:12:46,265
trying to create a little separation
between him and Dragunov.

295
00:12:46,799 --> 00:12:48,134
What's Williams thinking?

296
00:12:48,367 --> 00:12:50,169
[crowd cheering]

297
00:12:50,236 --> 00:12:51,237
[Booker] Oh, my…

298
00:12:51,303 --> 00:12:53,339
[Vic] Have you ever see
a uranage like that?

299
00:12:53,405 --> 00:12:55,441
[Booker] My, god. That could be it, Vic.

300
00:12:55,508 --> 00:12:57,843
[crowd counting] One, two, three.

301
00:12:58,010 --> 00:12:59,211
[Booker] Whoa.

302
00:13:00,679 --> 00:13:01,981
[Vic] How close.

303
00:13:02,915 --> 00:13:04,150
How close.

304
00:13:04,216 --> 00:13:05,918
Joey Gonzales.

305
00:13:06,852 --> 00:13:10,689
You could have slid a piece of paper
under his hand.

306
00:13:10,756 --> 00:13:12,057
[Booker] That was instinct.

307
00:13:12,124 --> 00:13:15,795
[Vic] You talked about those deep waters.
Trick has to stay focused.

308
00:13:15,861 --> 00:13:17,796
He can't let that moment frustrate him.

309
00:13:17,863 --> 00:13:21,367
[Booker] Still on the gas,
just look for that one big shot, Victor.

310
00:13:21,433 --> 00:13:22,835
Look for that kill shot.

311
00:13:22,902 --> 00:13:26,105
-[Booker] This could be it. Oh, yes.
-[Vic] Oh, no.

312
00:13:26,172 --> 00:13:28,174
He got caught. Got hoisted.

313
00:13:28,240 --> 00:13:31,243
Got planted with a German suplex. Oh.

314
00:13:31,577 --> 00:13:34,313
-[Booker] Where does he get it from?
-[Vic] Vicious kick by Dragunov.

315
00:13:34,380 --> 00:13:37,283
[Booker] The stamina and the fortitude
of these gentlemen.

316
00:13:37,349 --> 00:13:38,184
Where does they get it?

317
00:13:38,250 --> 00:13:41,453
[Vic] Always persevering, pushing through.
Couldn't pick up Trick.

318
00:13:41,520 --> 00:13:42,922
Trick sliding right through.

319
00:13:42,988 --> 00:13:45,591
You've got to imagine,
too, that after that knee,

320
00:13:45,658 --> 00:13:48,527
I don't know how much left
that Dragunov has,

321
00:13:48,594 --> 00:13:49,995
but it's not enough

322
00:13:50,062 --> 00:13:52,998
to plant Trick with a power bomb.

323
00:13:53,065 --> 00:13:54,300
[crowd screaming]

324
00:13:54,366 --> 00:13:56,502
[Vic] Could that be the knockout blow?

325
00:13:56,669 --> 00:13:58,704
[crowd screaming] One, two…

326
00:13:58,871 --> 00:14:00,739
[Booker laughs]

327
00:14:00,806 --> 00:14:06,045
[Vic] You said there were some questions
about Trick Williams heading into tonight.

328
00:14:06,111 --> 00:14:09,615
-[Booker] Yes.
-[Vic] That man is answering those.

329
00:14:09,682 --> 00:14:13,085
[Booker] I talked about that opponent
that also brings the best out of.

330
00:14:13,152 --> 00:14:16,622
That's Ilja Dragunov
taking it to this man, Trick Williams.

331
00:14:16,689 --> 00:14:20,125
Let's see if Trick
can live up to the name.

332
00:14:20,192 --> 00:14:22,828
[Vic] That might have been instinct
because for Dragunov,

333
00:14:22,895 --> 00:14:24,496
target is acquired…

334
00:14:24,730 --> 00:14:27,299
[crowd screaming]

335
00:14:27,566 --> 00:14:31,604
…for one final blow with authority.

336
00:14:32,104 --> 00:14:33,772
For Dragunov.

337
00:14:33,839 --> 00:14:35,708
[crowd counting] One, two, three.

338
00:14:36,041 --> 00:14:36,942
[bell rings]

339
00:14:37,009 --> 00:14:38,677
[Ilja Dragunov's music plays]

340
00:14:38,744 --> 00:14:40,546
[announcer] Here is your winner,

341
00:14:40,613 --> 00:14:43,916
Ilja Dragunov.

342
00:14:44,383 --> 00:14:50,256
[Ilja Dragunov's music plays]

343
00:14:50,322 --> 00:14:53,459
[Vic] What a match, and rightfully so.

344
00:14:53,525 --> 00:14:55,928
A standing ovation from

345
00:14:56,295 --> 00:14:57,529
the NXT Universe.

346
00:14:57,596 --> 00:14:58,430
Bam.

347
00:14:58,497 --> 00:15:02,201
These two laid it on the line tonight,
and right there,

348
00:15:02,501 --> 00:15:05,804
it was so close for Trick Williams.

349
00:15:06,238 --> 00:15:10,509
Then Williams
would continue the offensive onslaught

350
00:15:10,576 --> 00:15:11,744
in this match up,

351
00:15:11,810 --> 00:15:13,812
but nothing would keep Dragunov down.

352
00:15:13,879 --> 00:15:15,748
In the same breath I say that,

353
00:15:15,814 --> 00:15:17,916
what would keep Trick Williams down,

354
00:15:17,983 --> 00:15:21,420
because he shocked us all,
continuing to fight through.

355
00:15:21,487 --> 00:15:24,590
Even Ilja Dragunov, but Dragunov knew.

356
00:15:24,657 --> 00:15:27,593
He'd been in these deep waters.
He swam with these sharks.

357
00:15:27,660 --> 00:15:28,928
He would need… Bam.

358
00:15:29,228 --> 00:15:32,097
A massive knockout blow here tonight

359
00:15:32,531 --> 00:15:35,200
to pick up a victory.

360
00:15:35,267 --> 00:15:37,036
I've said it once, I'll say it again.

361
00:15:37,569 --> 00:15:40,406
What a way to kick off Heatwave

what he is capable of,

365
00:15:55,654 --> 00:15:58,457
but Dragunov
showed us he is more dangerous

366

than ever.

Tyler?

00:16:16,008 --> 00:16:17,242
What are you up to there?

372
00:16:18,277 --> 00:16:20,045
Dabba-Kato really hurt me last week.

373
00:16:20,746 --> 00:16:23,449
This is how I embrace the pain
and move forward.

374
00:16:24,183 --> 00:16:26,118
Yes, I know. It was pretty brutal.

375
00:16:26,352 --> 00:16:28,454
You're telling me, but that was last week.

376
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:31,323
Tonight is about you showing the world

377
00:16:31,390 --> 00:16:33,258
who the true Heritage Cup champion is.

378
00:16:33,325 --> 00:16:34,693
-Are you ready?
-You're right.

379
00:16:34,760 --> 00:16:36,462
But that's actually why I'm here.

380
00:16:36,528 --> 00:16:39,598
Because Meta-Four
have a second, a third, and a fourth.

381
00:16:39,665 --> 00:16:42,301
I was thinking
that I could use a second of my own,

382

someone I could trust,
help me watch my back,

383
00:16:44,937 --> 00:16:47,006
and make sure I settle this thing
with Noam.

384
00:16:47,072 --> 00:16:48,474
Okay. I hear you.

385
00:16:48,707 --> 00:16:50,409
I've got your back. Don't worry.

386

Hell, yes.

387
00:16:51,377 --> 00:16:53,879
I'm fully aware that this are two favors.

388
00:16:53,946 --> 00:16:56,015
However, when I take care of Noam tonight,

389
00:16:56,081 --> 00:17:00,185
you'll be the first person to get a shot
at the true NXT Heritage Cup.

that they can be proud of, someone like…

You're looking at him right here.

526

That title that you want so badly,

527
00:23:31,977 --> 00:23:33,845
that you claim to be destined to have

528
00:23:33,912 --> 00:23:35,947
is going to be on my shoulder.

530
00:23:37,716 --> 00:23:40,218
I wasn't destined for any of this.

I wasn't destined to be in the main event,

532
00:23:42,387 --> 00:23:44,389
I wasn't destined to be in this building,

533
00:23:44,456 --> 00:23:46,258
but I made my own destiny.

534
00:23:47,092 --> 00:23:48,994
Tonight, I'll beat Carmelo Hayes.

535
00:23:50,328 --> 00:23:51,396
Based on your reaction,

536
00:23:51,463 --> 00:23:54,466
I might have to go one-on-one
with The Mad Dragon as well.

537
00:23:55,500 --> 00:23:58,804
I look forward to it as the NXT champion.

is for the NXT Heritage Cup Championship.

Introducing first, the challenger,

representing Meta-Four,
"Supernova 11", Noam Dar.

There's no more excuses

551
00:24:48,353 --> 00:24:50,155
for Dar after tonight.

560
00:25:06,271 --> 00:25:07,305
and he's holding it.

You can see it, Noam Dar.

[Vic] What's he looking at?

[Vic] We're getting set
for this Heritage Cup match up.

575
00:25:51,850 --> 00:25:55,854
It's a test of grit,
it's a test of will, strategy is key.

576
00:25:55,921 --> 00:25:58,757
Six rounds, three minutes a round.

577
00:25:58,823 --> 00:26:00,592
There's a little break in between.

578
00:26:00,659 --> 00:26:05,764

Dar, Frazer, both superstars, of course,

have been in these match ups
plenty of times

583

as has Tyler Bate who's on the outside.

584
00:26:22,414 --> 00:26:24,416
We saw him talking a little bit earlier on

about what could transpire
following this match up,

but there's no more debate,
no more shenanigans,

588

gets crowned.

[Booker] Noam Dar coming off that injury,
he's looking great.

591
00:26:39,931 --> 00:26:42,300
There's one thing I must say.
You got to agree with me.

592
00:26:42,367 --> 00:26:45,971
He's one of the most dangerous
young men in this business.

593
00:26:46,037 --> 00:26:48,707
He has an array of talent
and you got to give him that.

594
00:26:48,773 --> 00:26:51,109
[Vic] I've never doubted his in-ring IQ.

595
00:26:51,309 --> 00:26:55,413
It's his woe is his attitude
what I have questions about.

596
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:58,750
[Booker] Come on.
He's a three-time Heritage Cup winner,

597
00:26:58,817 --> 00:27:00,819
and is working on his fourth.

598
00:27:00,885 --> 00:27:04,022
Tonight, this man could move into a place

599
00:27:04,089 --> 00:27:05,423
like no other, Victor.

600
00:27:05,490 --> 00:27:09,327
Just give him his props,
give him his flowers, man.

601
00:27:09,394 --> 00:27:10,395
Do that for me.

602
00:27:10,462 --> 00:27:12,430
[Vic] How do you get three?

603
00:27:12,497 --> 00:27:14,432
He's a two-time Heritage Cup champion.

604
00:27:14,499 --> 00:27:16,835
If he wins tonight,
he could be a three-time.

605
00:27:16,901 --> 00:27:19,004
-[Vic] He's two.
-[Booker] What about the last cup?

606
00:27:19,070 --> 00:27:20,739
[Vic] This is why I say, Booker,

607
00:27:20,805 --> 00:27:23,308
truth and honesty will always prevail

608
00:27:23,375 --> 00:27:26,244
much like Nathan Frazer
states in the hard hitting truths.

609
00:27:26,945 --> 00:27:30,015
Under two minutes to go here.
Noam Dar who is in control.

610
00:27:30,081 --> 00:27:32,017
Shoulders down.
Looking for that first fall.

611
00:27:32,083 --> 00:27:35,020
Again, if Dar had gotten the pin,
would ha gotten the three,

612
00:27:35,086 --> 00:27:38,056
this round would have ended.
Dar would have been up 1-0.

613
00:27:38,323 --> 00:27:39,457
[Booker] Quest right here.

614
00:27:39,524 --> 00:27:42,927
This the prize for the Heritage Cup,
and I must say.

615
00:27:42,994 --> 00:27:44,729
Let me say this about Nathan Frazer.

616
00:27:44,796 --> 00:27:46,564
This kid is an amazing talent,

617
00:27:46,631 --> 00:27:48,900
has been just perhaps one step away

618
00:27:48,967 --> 00:27:52,070
from being a contender
for the North American Championship

619
00:27:52,137 --> 00:27:53,738
or the NXT Championship.

620
00:27:53,805 --> 00:27:55,573
Both guys are amazing talents.

621
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:58,810
I just didn't say anything there.
I'm not bias like you, Victor.

622
00:27:58,877 --> 00:28:00,111
[Vic] That's debatable,

623
00:28:00,178 --> 00:28:01,846
but Nathan Frazer is no debating,

624
00:28:02,147 --> 00:28:06,317
holds on to that prestigious title
with just over 60 seconds here

625
00:28:06,384 --> 00:28:07,786
in round one.

626
00:28:07,852 --> 00:28:10,188
Frazer trying to hold on
as tight as he can.

627
00:28:10,255 --> 00:28:11,456
Right back in.

628
00:28:11,523 --> 00:28:13,892
A bit of a meeting of the mind,
and look at Dar.

629
00:28:14,559 --> 00:28:16,127
It's that striking ability of Dar.

630
00:28:16,194 --> 00:28:19,030
Dar will go to the body
with some of those shin kicks

631
00:28:19,497 --> 00:28:21,099
to try to weaken the body
for later rounds.

632
00:28:21,166 --> 00:28:23,935
[Booker] There are different variations
and combinations

633
00:28:24,002 --> 00:28:25,003
of kicks and strikes.

634
00:28:25,070 --> 00:28:26,071
Like I say,

635
00:28:26,137 --> 00:28:28,973
you got to watch this kid
because he's as good as they come.

636
00:28:29,674 --> 00:28:32,077
He may play around a little bit
outside the ring,

637
00:28:32,143 --> 00:28:34,846
but inside that squared circle,
he's one of the best.

638
00:28:34,913 --> 00:28:36,247
-[Vic] Oh.
-[Vic] Got caught.

639
00:28:36,314 --> 00:28:38,183
Frazer goes around. Thirty five seconds.

640
00:28:38,249 --> 00:28:40,752
Gets countered.
Could be looking for a submission.

641
00:28:40,819 --> 00:28:42,087
Frazer has to roll through

642
00:28:42,153 --> 00:28:44,389
as we're under 30 seconds
in the first round.

643
00:28:44,456 --> 00:28:46,725
Swinging wildly and missing.
Dar doesn't connect.

644
00:28:46,791 --> 00:28:49,594
A bit of a stalemate
as the pace starting to quicken.

645
00:28:49,794 --> 00:28:50,795
No one home for Frazer.

646
00:28:50,862 --> 00:28:52,864
Right around and just got slapped by Dar.

647
00:28:53,431 --> 00:28:54,799
-[Vic] Oh.
-[Booker] Oh.

648
00:28:54,866 --> 00:28:58,336
And I don't know if Dar wants to turn this
into a slug fest.

649
00:28:58,403 --> 00:29:00,271
[Booker] You better turn it
into a slug fest.

650
00:29:00,338 --> 00:29:02,240
-[Vic] Frazer on top.
-[Booker] What are you talking about?

00:29:02,307 --> 00:29:03,908
[Vic] Frazer tries to hold on.
We're under ten seconds.

652

Getting right back on Dar.
Referee's in good position.

653

[Vic] We're back on Heatwave.

662
00:29:25,597 --> 00:29:28,466
As you saw
during the commercial break one,

663
00:29:28,533 --> 00:29:30,034
Noam Dar stole a fall

664
00:29:30,101 --> 00:29:33,438
because of Dabba-Kato coming out here

665
00:29:33,505 --> 00:29:37,775
and casting his shadow
once again on Tyler Bate,

666
00:29:37,842 --> 00:29:43,181
which opened the door for Noam Dar
to go up one fall to none.

667
00:29:43,248 --> 00:29:45,717
Now, you look at Tyler Bate
and you got to question.

668
00:29:46,251 --> 00:29:49,954
Frazer all of a sudden is distracted,
and Dar trying to pick apart

669
00:29:50,021 --> 00:29:50,922
because if Dar gets one more fall,

670
00:29:50,989 --> 00:29:54,058
Dar will become the Heritage Cup champion.

671
00:29:54,125 --> 00:29:55,260
[Booker] Dar's rolling right now.

672
00:29:55,326 --> 00:29:58,530
Like I say, he'll become
a four-time Heritage Cup champion

673
00:29:58,596 --> 00:30:00,598
if he could just pull it off here tonight.

674
00:30:01,266 --> 00:30:03,668
[Vic] Tyler Bate
being helped to the locker room area.

675
00:30:03,735 --> 00:30:04,803
There's Frazer.

676
00:30:04,869 --> 00:30:07,872
[Booker] All that meditating
didn't help Tyler Bate.

677
00:30:07,939 --> 00:30:11,376
[Vic] Right now, is trying to help out.
Look at the submission locked in.

678
00:30:11,442 --> 00:30:12,844
Frazer looks for a tap.

679
00:30:13,578 --> 00:30:16,147
Looking to even this at one fall apiece,

680
00:30:16,214 --> 00:30:19,784
and look at the face
of Noam Dar changing some color.

681
00:30:19,851 --> 00:30:21,519
[Booker] Dar got to scramble, Vic.

682
00:30:21,586 --> 00:30:25,056
He needs to scramble quickly.
Get to that bottom rope.

683
00:30:25,123 --> 00:30:26,791
-[Vic] Stf submission…
-[Booker] Yes.

684
00:30:26,858 --> 00:30:30,061
[Vic] Dar gets to that bottom
rope to break the hold,

685
00:30:30,128 --> 00:30:33,431
and right now,
this is where strategy comes into play

686
00:30:33,498 --> 00:30:36,000
because there's over two minutes left
in round three.

687
00:30:36,601 --> 00:30:39,037
Time is now the enemy for Nathan Frazer

688
00:30:39,103 --> 00:30:40,538
to tie this up,

689
00:30:40,872 --> 00:30:43,074
to even this at one fall apiece.

690
00:30:43,141 --> 00:30:45,276
[Booker] You talk about time,
I talk about history.

691
00:30:45,343 --> 00:30:48,479
Noam Dar has a chance to make history

692
00:30:48,546 --> 00:30:50,982
here tonight at Heatwave, Vic.

693
00:30:51,950 --> 00:30:53,284
[Vic] History could be made.

694
00:30:53,351 --> 00:30:56,955
That was a nasty landing
for the current Heritage Cup champion.

695
00:30:57,021 --> 00:30:59,357
And the man, the former champion

696
00:30:59,424 --> 00:31:04,662
is in control now and is one fall
away to picking up another win.

697
00:31:04,729 --> 00:31:07,198
As he's in control, into
the cover, hook of the leg,

698
00:31:07,265 --> 00:31:09,901
and Frazer able to kick out
as we are under a minute forty

699
00:31:09,968 --> 00:31:11,069
here in round three.

700
00:31:11,135 --> 00:31:15,940
[Booker] How creative was that nugget
right there from Noam Dar?

701
00:31:16,441 --> 00:31:18,376
[Vic] For Noam Dar,

702
00:31:18,910 --> 00:31:23,181
you'd have to agree that he needs this win
more than Nathan Frazer.

703
00:31:23,248 --> 00:31:25,917
For everything he's talked about.
To be a champion.

704
00:31:25,984 --> 00:31:29,821
[Booker] Not just needing.
He deserves this win, Vic.

705
00:31:29,888 --> 00:31:30,955
Come on.

706
00:31:31,022 --> 00:31:34,726
Who represents the Heritage Cup
more than this man?

707
00:31:34,792 --> 00:31:36,628
Who loves it more than this man?

708
00:31:36,694 --> 00:31:37,528
Come on.

709
00:31:37,595 --> 00:31:39,731
[Vic] Frazer loves it.
That's why he is the champion.

710
00:31:39,797 --> 00:31:43,501
That's why
he has been a fighting champion.

711
00:31:43,568 --> 00:31:47,705
He has been trying desperately
in this match up now

712
00:31:47,772 --> 00:31:49,774
as round three really has turned.

713
00:31:49,841 --> 00:31:52,810
I'm a little discombobulated
after Dabba-Kato came out

714
00:31:52,877 --> 00:31:53,878
and wiped out Tyler Bate.

715
00:31:53,945 --> 00:31:54,979
There is no second.

716
00:31:55,046 --> 00:31:56,714
-[Booker] You know what?
-[Vic] There's no second.

717
00:31:56,781 --> 00:31:58,650
[Booker] Tyler Bate
shouldn't have never been out here

718
00:31:58,716 --> 00:31:59,617
from the get-go.

719
00:31:59,684 --> 00:32:01,519
-[Booker] Come on.
-[Vic] Frazer tries to fight back.

720
00:32:01,586 --> 00:32:03,354
There're 45 seconds left in round three

721
00:32:03,421 --> 00:32:04,455
and now for Frazer,

722
00:32:04,522 --> 00:32:06,257
it may just be survival,

723
00:32:06,324 --> 00:32:07,892
but he just got ripped inside out

724
00:32:07,959 --> 00:32:09,394
into an ankle lock,

725
00:32:09,460 --> 00:32:12,897
and if Frazer taps,
Dar will become the Heritage Cup champion.

726
00:32:13,064 --> 00:32:14,499
Only 30 seconds and counting.

727
00:32:14,565 --> 00:32:15,934
Nice counter by Frazer.

728
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:17,335
A bit of separation.

729
00:32:17,936 --> 00:32:19,704
Quickly right out.

730
00:32:20,004 --> 00:32:22,340
[Vic] Moves like a blur,
strikes like a cobra,

731
00:32:22,407 --> 00:32:25,944
and he's quickly trying to get Dar
back into the ring to knot this at one,

732
00:32:26,010 --> 00:32:27,812
but there's only 20 seconds in round 3.

733
00:32:27,879 --> 00:32:29,847
[Booker] Nathan Frazer
is going on adrenaline mode.

734
00:32:29,914 --> 00:32:32,050
-[Vic] Got you.
-[Booker] Oh, yes.

735
00:32:32,884 --> 00:32:34,152
[Vic] Just 15 seconds.

736
00:32:34,218 --> 00:32:36,087
Frazer now, standing shooting star.

737
00:32:36,154 --> 00:32:37,789
Ten seconds, into the cover.

738
00:32:37,855 --> 00:32:39,257
It'll only take three.

739
00:32:39,324 --> 00:32:42,694
Dar kicked out,
but now six seconds, clock's counting.

740
00:32:42,760 --> 00:32:48,533
Frazer is going to run out of time
in round three.

741
00:32:49,300 --> 00:32:51,135
That was a… Wait. Cheap shot.

742
00:32:51,202 --> 00:32:53,004
[Booker] That's right at the buzzer.

743
00:32:53,071 --> 00:32:54,505
[Vic] Buzzer, my ass.

744
00:32:54,572 --> 00:32:56,240
That should be a disqualification.

745
00:32:56,307 --> 00:32:58,576
[crowd screaming]

746
00:32:58,643 --> 00:33:01,112
[Vic] The referee uses his discretion

747
00:33:01,179 --> 00:33:02,981
as we go to some of the action

748
00:33:03,147 --> 00:33:06,017
where moments ago Nathan
was rolling in this match up,

749
00:33:06,084 --> 00:33:07,151
in this round.

750
00:33:07,218 --> 00:33:09,387
Only 15 seconds, couldn't get it done,
but listen.

751
00:33:10,655 --> 00:33:11,923
The elbow came.

752
00:33:12,623 --> 00:33:13,891
I didn't hear a bell.

753
00:33:14,292 --> 00:33:17,528
[Booker] Vic, the momentum
was carrying that way.

754
00:33:17,595 --> 00:33:19,097
The bell rang at the same time.

755
00:33:19,163 --> 00:33:20,064
[Booker] Come on.

756
00:33:20,131 --> 00:33:21,799
-[Vic] I heard it.
-[Booker] Inadvertent.

757
00:33:21,866 --> 00:33:24,569
[Vic] For Nathan Frazer,
he needed a trustworthy second.

758
00:33:24,635 --> 00:33:26,771
That's why he had Tyler Bate.
Now he's alone.

759
00:33:26,838 --> 00:33:28,072
He usually has Dragon Lee,

760
00:33:28,239 --> 00:33:30,575
but 's getting ready
for a mixed tag team match later tonight

761
00:33:30,641 --> 00:33:32,543
with Lyra Valkyria against Judgment Day.

762
00:33:32,610 --> 00:33:35,179
For Nathan Frazer, into the cover,
hook of the leg to tie this at one,

763
00:33:35,246 --> 00:33:36,180
and a kick out.

764
00:33:36,247 --> 00:33:39,083
Frazer knows that this is his best chance

765
00:33:39,283 --> 00:33:41,886
because he has to use that cheap shot
as fuel.

766
00:33:41,953 --> 00:33:43,855
[Booker] At the beginning of round four,

767
00:33:43,921 --> 00:33:46,224
I was looking at both guys,
they're in great shape,

768
00:33:46,290 --> 00:33:49,961
but this young man, Nathan Frazer,
he's not even breathing hard.

769
00:33:50,028 --> 00:33:51,195
Oh, yes.

770
00:33:51,262 --> 00:33:52,130
[Vic] A power slam.

771
00:33:52,196 --> 00:33:56,300
Into the cover, but momentarily hesitated
to go into that cover

772
00:33:56,367 --> 00:33:59,003
and that might cost him
here in round four.

773
00:33:59,203 --> 00:34:02,106
[Booker] I always say,
there's always a bit of a slip

774
00:34:02,173 --> 00:34:03,307
between a cup and a lip,

775
00:34:03,374 --> 00:34:05,109
and that's what that was, Victor.

776
00:34:05,176 --> 00:34:06,644
[Vic] All the way to the top.

777
00:34:06,711 --> 00:34:09,313
Could be looking for that Phoenix Splash.
Able to roll through.

778
00:34:09,380 --> 00:34:12,150
Dar was able to get out of the way.
Right back in and out.

779
00:34:12,216 --> 00:34:15,353
Into a cover of his own
and another near fall.

780
00:34:15,420 --> 00:34:18,756
Dar just able to kick out.
Oh. That elbow was legal.

781
00:34:18,823 --> 00:34:21,959
Into the cover, falls into it,
to win the cup, and a kick out.

782
00:34:22,026 --> 00:34:25,329
[Booker] That elbow was pinpoint,
right on the button.

783
00:34:25,630 --> 00:34:26,597
[Dar screaming]

784
00:34:26,664 --> 00:34:27,899
[crowd screaming]

785
00:34:27,965 --> 00:34:29,934
[Vic] You can hear from Dar.
Under two minutes.

786
00:34:30,001 --> 00:34:31,569
You see Oro Mensah,
who's actually the reason

787
00:34:31,636 --> 00:34:33,471
that Noam Dar is a champion.

788
00:34:33,538 --> 00:34:36,707
[Booker] My main man, Mensah. Yes.

789
00:34:36,774 --> 00:34:39,110
[Vic] Buck 45 and counting
here in round four

790
00:34:39,177 --> 00:34:41,078
and it is Dar who is in control.

791
00:34:41,145 --> 00:34:44,282
I don't think you've ever competed
in one of these match ups,

792
00:34:44,348 --> 00:34:46,517
but if you were up 1-0
this late in the game,

793
00:34:46,584 --> 00:34:49,687
would you try to stall time
or go for that second fall?

794
00:34:49,754 --> 00:34:50,655
[Booker] You said it.

795
00:34:50,721 --> 00:34:53,057
You want to stall as much
as you possibly can,

796
00:34:53,124 --> 00:34:55,359
that's what it's all about.
It's about winning.

797
00:34:55,426 --> 00:34:56,894
-[Vic] You're one up right now.
-[Vic] Oh.

798
00:34:56,961 --> 00:34:58,196
[crowd screaming]

799
00:34:58,262 --> 00:34:59,564
[Vic] Superplex.

800
00:35:00,898 --> 00:35:02,633
-[Vic] Final cut.
-[Booker] God.

801
00:35:02,700 --> 00:35:05,169
[Vic] Might be the final blow
in round four.

802
00:35:05,603 --> 00:35:07,538
We are tied at one.

803
00:35:08,005 --> 00:35:11,876
[announcer] The winner of the second fall
is Nathan Frazer.

804
00:35:11,943 --> 00:35:13,811
[Vic] Don't miss a second of the action.

805
00:35:13,878 --> 00:35:16,481
Round five coming up live on Heatwave.

806
00:35:19,050 --> 00:35:22,653
Under 30 seconds, Frazer, Dar,
tied at one, round five.

807
00:35:22,720 --> 00:35:25,523
The next fall
will decide who the Heritage Cup is…

808
00:35:25,590 --> 00:35:27,191
-[Vic] Watch out.
-[Booker] Whoa.

809
00:35:27,258 --> 00:35:29,093
[crowd cheering]

810
00:35:29,160 --> 00:35:30,928
[Vic] Frazer has to to get Dar
back in the ring.

811
00:35:30,995 --> 00:35:32,430
He's only got 14 seconds.

812
00:35:32,497 --> 00:35:33,464
It's down to ten.

813
00:35:33,531 --> 00:35:35,633
If he can get a cover
and a count… but lash…

814
00:35:35,700 --> 00:35:36,968
Referee…

815
00:35:37,034 --> 00:35:38,569
[crowd screaming]

816
00:35:38,636 --> 00:35:39,504
…come on.

817
00:35:39,670 --> 00:35:40,638
[crowd screaming]

818
00:35:40,805 --> 00:35:42,507
Finally able to get into the cover.

819
00:35:42,807 --> 00:35:44,242
Hook of the leg and…

820
00:35:44,308 --> 00:35:45,209
[bell rings]

821
00:35:45,276 --> 00:35:47,712
[crowd screaming]

822
00:35:47,778 --> 00:35:49,447
[Vic] You got to believe, Book,

823
00:35:49,514 --> 00:35:51,182
if it not for Lash Legend…

824
00:35:51,249 --> 00:35:52,450
[Booker] She helped him.

825
00:35:52,683 --> 00:35:53,718
[Vic] Who?

826
00:35:54,385 --> 00:35:55,620
-[Booker] Nathan Frazer.

827
00:35:55,686 --> 00:35:57,755
-[Vic] She helped Dar.
-[Booker] She helped Nathan.

828
00:35:57,822 --> 00:35:59,357
Check this out one more time.

829
00:35:59,423 --> 00:36:00,358
Take a look.

830
00:36:00,791 --> 00:36:02,727
Take a look at this landing.

831
00:36:02,793 --> 00:36:06,631
Wiping out. Bam.
Your main man, Mensah, and Dar.

832
00:36:07,298 --> 00:36:11,369
Right there,
Lash holding on for that split second.

833
00:36:11,435 --> 00:36:13,271
Saved by the bell.

834
00:36:13,504 --> 00:36:15,406
[wrestlers talking]

835
00:36:16,707 --> 00:36:20,444
-[Vic] I can't believe what you say.
-[Booker] She was trying to help him.

836
00:36:20,645 --> 00:36:25,316
[crowd cheering]

837
00:36:25,550 --> 00:36:26,617
[Vic] This is it.

838
00:36:27,451 --> 00:36:29,086
Sixth round, if it ends in a tie,

839
00:36:29,153 --> 00:36:32,690
Nathan Frazer
retains the Heritage Cup title.

840
00:36:33,724 --> 00:36:36,727
You got to let all the talk,
all the truths, all the lies,

841
00:36:36,794 --> 00:36:39,163
you got to let it out now
in these final minutes.

842
00:36:39,230 --> 00:36:42,233
[Booker] If I had to give
one of these guys the edge right now,

843
00:36:42,300 --> 00:36:44,035
Nathan Frazer's ahead on points

844
00:36:44,268 --> 00:36:47,238
and Noam Dar needs to do something quick.

845
00:36:47,738 --> 00:36:48,639
[Vic] Oh.

846
00:36:48,706 --> 00:36:49,607
Look at Noam Dar.

847
00:36:49,674 --> 00:36:52,577
Just ate that right from Frazer.

848
00:36:52,643 --> 00:36:55,012
[Booker] Beautiful forearm shivers.

849
00:36:55,079 --> 00:36:57,415
[Vic] Frazer's throwing peaches,
plums, anything he can right now,

850
00:36:57,481 --> 00:36:58,849
looking for that knockout blow,

851
00:36:58,916 --> 00:37:02,186
but there is Noam Dar right back in

852
00:37:02,253 --> 00:37:05,389
as we're just over two minutes left
in round six.

853
00:37:05,456 --> 00:37:08,492
Time is now the factor
for both these superstars.

854
00:37:08,559 --> 00:37:11,829
[Booker] Still one apiece, Vic.
Who's going to have the edge?

855
00:37:12,129 --> 00:37:14,932
-[Vic] Right now, the edge…
-[Booker] Oh, big Superman.

856
00:37:14,999 --> 00:37:17,401
[Vic] Frazer answers back
with a kick because, again,

857
00:37:17,468 --> 00:37:18,469
in two minutes,

858
00:37:18,536 --> 00:37:19,937
if there's no decision,

859
00:37:20,004 --> 00:37:21,973
Frazer retains the Heritage Cup.

860
00:37:22,039 --> 00:37:23,074
[crowd screaming]

861
00:37:23,140 --> 00:37:25,176
Big blow, big kick right to the knee.

862
00:37:25,243 --> 00:37:27,111
Noam Dar now just looked up quickly.

863
00:37:27,278 --> 00:37:28,546
One fifty and counting.

864
00:37:28,613 --> 00:37:30,548
He has the rest of Meta-Four out here

865
00:37:30,715 --> 00:37:33,084
shouting to him how much time is left.

866
00:37:33,551 --> 00:37:34,585
Nobody on the stomp.

867
00:37:34,652 --> 00:37:37,088
You got to wonder if he
just, oh, jolted his knee,

868
00:37:37,154 --> 00:37:38,823
but just got rocked with a Crescent kick.

869
00:37:38,889 --> 00:37:40,324
Frazer back in.

870
00:37:40,391 --> 00:37:41,259
Catch.

871
00:37:41,325 --> 00:37:43,494
He was able to slither
through into a knee bar.

872
00:37:43,561 --> 00:37:44,395
[Booker] Oh.

873
00:37:44,462 --> 00:37:46,530
[Vic] Frazer, can he hold on, 90 seconds.

874
00:37:46,931 --> 00:37:49,133
Just 90 seconds. If he taps, he loses.

875
00:37:49,200 --> 00:37:51,535
If he's able to hold on
and get to the bottom rope…

876
00:37:51,602 --> 00:37:52,970
Don't tap, Nathan. Come on.

877
00:37:53,137 --> 00:37:56,507
[Booker] Dar got Frazer in the
middle of that squared circle.

878
00:37:56,674 --> 00:37:58,042
He's going to have to tap.

879
00:37:58,109 --> 00:37:59,910
The referee
might have to have the wherewithal,

880
00:37:59,977 --> 00:38:01,479
the understanding to stop it.

881
00:38:01,545 --> 00:38:02,480
Wait a minute.

882
00:38:02,546 --> 00:38:04,882
[Vic] Frazer able to roll through,
counter a bit of that pressure.

883
00:38:04,949 --> 00:38:09,420
Trying to fight his way free
as we have 70 seconds left

884
00:38:09,487 --> 00:38:12,523
and we are tied at one in round six.

885
00:38:12,823 --> 00:38:15,493
[crowd screaming]

886
00:38:15,559 --> 00:38:18,729
You can feel the tension here
amongst the NXT Universe.

887
00:38:20,197 --> 00:38:21,232
Under a minute to go.

888
00:38:21,299 --> 00:38:22,266
Nathan Frazer now.

889
00:38:22,333 --> 00:38:25,069
For Frazer, does he go for it
or does he wait

890
00:38:25,369 --> 00:38:27,571
because time is actually in his favor

891
00:38:27,638 --> 00:38:29,273
as he's starting to climb to the top.

892
00:38:29,707 --> 00:38:31,375
[Booker] Whoa. Wait a minute.

893
00:38:31,442 --> 00:38:33,477
[Vic] Dar got rocked. Just 45 seconds.

894
00:38:33,544 --> 00:38:35,112
Mensah interfered.

895
00:38:35,313 --> 00:38:36,514
Meta-Four's wiped out.

896
00:38:36,714 --> 00:38:37,615
Dar's down.

897
00:38:37,682 --> 00:38:38,916
Phoenix Splash.

898
00:38:38,983 --> 00:38:39,817
No.

899
00:38:40,851 --> 00:38:41,686
[Booker] Wow.

900
00:38:41,752 --> 00:38:43,921
Moved at the last second.

901
00:38:43,988 --> 00:38:45,456
-[Booker] Beautiful.
-[Vic] Nova roller.

902
00:38:45,756 --> 00:38:46,757
Into the cover.

903
00:38:46,957 --> 00:38:48,726
-[Vic] Only 30 seconds.
-[Booker] That's it.

904
00:38:49,060 --> 00:38:49,894
[Vic] Oh, my…

905
00:38:49,960 --> 00:38:50,861
[bell rings]

906
00:38:50,928 --> 00:38:52,496
[Noam Dar's music plays]

907
00:38:52,563 --> 00:38:57,835
[annoucer] Here is your winner
and new NXT Heritage Cup champion,

908
00:38:58,202 --> 00:39:02,440
Supernova 11, Noam Dar.

909
00:39:02,506 --> 00:39:04,875
[Booker] He made history, Victor.

910
00:39:04,942 --> 00:39:08,145
Truth and honesty is correct,

911
00:39:08,412 --> 00:39:11,515
four-time Heritage Cup winner.

912
00:39:11,716 --> 00:39:12,750
Oh, yes.

913
00:39:13,017 --> 00:39:14,018
Noam Dar.

914
00:39:14,318 --> 00:39:15,419
Look at this.

915
00:39:15,486 --> 00:39:16,320
[Vic] I'm looking.

916
00:39:16,387 --> 00:39:19,457
I'm seeing Meta-Four
stick their nose in business

917
00:39:19,523 --> 00:39:20,791
that doesn't belong to them

918
00:39:20,858 --> 00:39:23,094
which gave Noam Dar enough time

919
00:39:23,260 --> 00:39:29,700
to roll free, to set up
for that nova roller and the deciding fall

920
00:39:30,568 --> 00:39:32,837
here tonight and your maths, again,
are wrong.

921
00:39:32,903 --> 00:39:37,375
He's the first-ever
three-time Heritage Cup champion.

922
00:39:37,441 --> 00:39:41,445
[Booker] Break out the champagne
wishes and caviar dreams.

923
00:39:42,046 --> 00:39:43,681
-[Booker] It's a party.
-[Vic] I can't believe it.

924
00:39:43,748 --> 00:39:44,582
[crowd cheering]

925
00:39:46,884 --> 00:39:50,354
Thanks to the bravery of these two loyal
and devoted followers,

926
00:39:50,521 --> 00:39:54,291
I am once again standing safely
underneath the Schism's tree.

927
00:39:54,759 --> 00:39:57,361
Ivy, you tried to end my career.

928
00:39:57,428 --> 00:40:00,431
You tried to inflict permanent damage,
but Ivy,

929
00:40:01,132 --> 00:40:02,233
you failed.

930
00:40:02,666 --> 00:40:05,469
You are a failure,
just like The Creed Brothers,

931
00:40:05,536 --> 00:40:08,406
and just like all of Diamond Mine.

932
00:40:08,639 --> 00:40:10,474
Ivy, if you want to prove me wrong,

933
00:40:14,278 --> 00:40:17,181
you know exactly where I am,

934
00:40:17,515 --> 00:40:19,049
so come and find me.

935
00:40:19,650 --> 00:40:21,051
[music]

936
00:40:21,118 --> 00:40:24,288
[Vic] There is Tiffany Stratton
who is not headed to Schism's tree.

937
00:40:24,355 --> 00:40:29,193
The center of the universe is here,
the NXT women's champion is next.

938
00:40:29,260 --> 00:40:30,895
[Tiffany Stratton's music plays]

939
00:40:32,630 --> 00:40:35,733
[Vic] Back live on Heatwave
with the center of the universe.

940
00:40:36,834 --> 00:40:41,338
[announcer] Please welcome
the NXT women's champion,

941
00:40:41,405 --> 00:40:44,208
Tiffany Stratton.

942
00:40:44,442 --> 00:40:47,578
[Tiffany Stratton's music plays]

943
00:40:48,746 --> 00:40:52,683
The summer of Tiff-Tiff
is coming to an end,

944
00:40:52,850 --> 00:40:57,254
and let me tell you all,
it has been a hot one.

945
00:40:57,855 --> 00:41:00,624
It officially began at battleground

946
00:41:00,691 --> 00:41:04,728
where I won the NXT Women's Championship.

947
00:41:06,497 --> 00:41:09,467
Then I went on a winning streak,

948
00:41:09,533 --> 00:41:13,204
retaining my title against Thea Hail
at Gold Rush,

949
00:41:13,270 --> 00:41:16,740
and then again at The Great American Bash.

950
00:41:19,143 --> 00:41:21,812
With summer coming to an end,

951
00:41:21,879 --> 00:41:25,583
and the fall of Tiff-Tiff
is right around the corner,

952
00:41:25,649 --> 00:41:28,018
[crowd screaming]

953
00:41:28,319 --> 00:41:33,524
I am going to make this much better
and I'm sure you're all wondering,

954
00:41:33,591 --> 00:41:36,594
"How could it get any better
than it already is?"

955
00:41:37,628 --> 00:41:40,531
I'm basically a perfect champion.

956
00:41:42,032 --> 00:41:45,803
I know the word perfect
scares some people,

957
00:41:46,103 --> 00:41:51,008
but when you're Tiffany Stratton,
perfection comes easy.

958
00:41:51,075 --> 00:41:53,811
[crowd chattering]

959
00:41:53,978 --> 00:41:58,649
Which is why this title
isn't going anywhere.

960
00:41:59,350 --> 00:42:01,085
Matter of fact,

961
00:42:01,585 --> 00:42:03,554
I'm going to go down in history

962
00:42:03,621 --> 00:42:08,692
as one of the best NXT women's champions
of all time.

963
00:42:08,759 --> 00:42:11,495
[Crowd boos]

964
00:42:11,562 --> 00:42:14,932
I'm going to be a better champion
than Bayley,

965
00:42:15,933 --> 00:42:17,535
than Asuka.

966
00:42:17,601 --> 00:42:21,572
I'm going to be a better champion
than Becky Lynch,

967
00:42:22,806 --> 00:42:25,876
and even Charlotte Flair.

968
00:42:26,143 --> 00:42:29,079
[crowd booing]

969
00:42:29,146 --> 00:42:32,182
The list can go on and on and on,

970
00:42:32,249 --> 00:42:36,754
but for now I'm going to remain
at the Tiffy-top.

971
00:42:38,923 --> 00:42:41,558
[Gigi Dolin's music plays]

972
00:42:41,625 --> 00:42:44,261
[Gigi] Tiffany, Tiffany, Tiffany.

973
00:42:44,695 --> 00:42:46,163
Oh my gosh.

974
00:42:46,230 --> 00:42:48,299
While you're at the Tiffy-top,

975
00:42:48,566 --> 00:42:51,535
why don't you do us all a grand favor

976
00:42:51,602 --> 00:42:54,505
and shut the hell up.

977
00:42:54,571 --> 00:42:56,707
[crowd cheering]

978
00:42:56,774 --> 00:42:57,808
See, I get it.

979
00:42:57,875 --> 00:43:03,013
I get the summer of Tiffany,
but what I'm just dying to see

980
00:43:03,080 --> 00:43:05,015
is the fall of Tiffany,

981
00:43:05,082 --> 00:43:10,187
and your fall
at being the NXT women's champion,

982
00:43:10,854 --> 00:43:15,059
so look no further
for your next challenger, Gigi.

983
00:43:15,125 --> 00:43:16,860
I don't know what hole you crawled out of,

984
00:43:16,927 --> 00:43:18,696
and I certainly don't care,

985
00:43:19,029 --> 00:43:21,365
but if this is you shooting your shot,

986
00:43:21,432 --> 00:43:25,502
consider this me
officially shooting it down.

987
00:43:26,937 --> 00:43:29,807
You don't deserve an
opportunity against me.

988
00:43:30,107 --> 00:43:33,377
Deserve? Oh, my God, the audacity.

989
00:43:33,444 --> 00:43:35,879
You don't deserve to stand here

990
00:43:35,946 --> 00:43:38,082
and call yourself a champion,

991
00:43:38,148 --> 00:43:42,353
because the last time
you defended that title in this ring,

992
00:43:42,419 --> 00:43:44,421
you tapped out.

993
00:43:44,488 --> 00:43:46,724
-I didn't tap out.
-Aw, Gigi.

994
00:43:47,191 --> 00:43:50,427
[crowd chants] You tapped out!

995
00:43:50,494 --> 00:43:53,397
Gigi, you must be lost.

996
00:43:55,065 --> 00:43:59,670
I don't know what delusional world
that you're living in,

997
00:43:59,737 --> 00:44:02,573
but there is not a shot in hell

998
00:44:02,640 --> 00:44:05,509
that you deserve
an NXT Women's Title Match.

999
00:44:05,576 --> 00:44:06,944
Thank you.

1000
00:44:07,211 --> 00:44:09,046
Your win-loss record against me

1001
00:44:09,113 --> 00:44:14,218
is about as good as you getting a chance
at a match with her,

1002
00:44:14,284 --> 00:44:15,853
which is terrible.

1003
00:44:16,220 --> 00:44:17,421
I love this.

1004
00:44:17,588 --> 00:44:20,924
Tiffany,
Gigi doesn't deserve a title match,

1005
00:44:20,991 --> 00:44:24,662
but you can bet
your Barbie-wannabe ass that I do.

1006
00:44:24,728 --> 00:44:26,663
That is so rude.

1007

1010
00:44:36,540 --> 00:44:39,910
I'm sure that we can stand here

1011
00:44:39,977 --> 00:44:42,312
and argue all night long

1012
00:44:42,379 --> 00:44:46,650
about who has the fanciest
materialistic possessions,

1013
00:44:46,717 --> 00:44:51,388
the bigger daddy issues, or even the
most social media followers,

1014
00:44:51,455 --> 00:44:53,824
but I don't care about any of that crap.

over the NXT women's division,

courtesy of Blair Davenport.

1018
00:45:04,401 --> 00:45:05,936
You don't believe me?

1019
00:45:06,003 --> 00:45:09,339
Ask around, but what we don't need to ask

1020
00:45:09,406 --> 00:45:13,377
is who deserves to be next in line
for that women's title,

1021
00:45:13,444 --> 00:45:15,712
because it's me.

1022
00:45:15,779 --> 00:45:19,083
Blair, I know we haven't crossed paths,

1023
00:45:19,149 --> 00:45:21,485
but before you lay claim to this division,

1024
00:45:21,552 --> 00:45:23,921
you have to go through the division.

1025
00:45:24,088 --> 00:45:29,626
Everybody here knows you beat Dana,
and you beat Kalani,

1026
00:45:29,693 --> 00:45:34,064
but nobody has forgotten your little trip
to the convenience store.

1027
00:45:34,131 --> 00:45:35,999
Clean up on isle Blair.

1028
00:45:36,066 --> 00:45:39,403
Trust me, I would have rather
it have been business…

Kiana's head going through
the canned food isle,

1030
00:45:43,006 --> 00:45:49,680
but seeing your face ping-pong
off of the frozen food door

1031
00:45:49,747 --> 00:45:51,715
was priceless.

1032
00:45:52,382 --> 00:45:55,919
Oh, look at the dark side of Gigi Dolin
finally coming out.

1033

Aw, cute.

00:45:57,888 --> 00:46:00,824
You know what, Gigi,
you don't want to mess with me, yes?

1035
00:46:01,024 --> 00:46:03,727
Okay, you thought that
kick from Jacy was bad,

doesn't recognize you anymore.

00:46:08,098 --> 00:46:10,334
This is all getting out of hand.

1039
00:46:10,901 --> 00:46:13,237
You need to figure this out on your own.

1040
00:46:13,303 --> 00:46:15,439
I'm going to leave now. Bye.

1043
00:46:21,879 --> 00:46:23,313
Hey, Blair.

1044
00:46:24,381 --> 00:46:25,382
Hey.

1045
00:46:26,016 --> 00:46:27,751
Hi.

1046
00:46:27,818 --> 00:46:32,589
It's mind-boggling to me
that you're out here running your mouth,

1047
00:46:32,656 --> 00:46:36,260
because I thought I ended things with you
at The Great American Bash,

1048
00:46:36,326 --> 00:46:41,532
when I put your ass through a table
and a bed of chairs,

1049
00:46:41,865 --> 00:46:43,667
in case you forgot.

1050
00:46:45,369 --> 00:46:48,405
More importantly, Tiffany,

1051
00:46:48,705 --> 00:46:50,607
I actually have something to tell you.

1052
00:46:50,674 --> 00:46:52,276
It better be something…

1053
00:46:53,177 --> 00:46:54,745
[Vic] Whoa.

1054

1055
00:46:56,180 --> 00:46:59,082
-[Vic] Booker, it's breaking down.
-[Booker] I knew it.

1056
00:46:59,149 --> 00:47:04,021
Everyone wants the NXT women's champion
and her gold.

[crowd screaming]

1058
00:47:07,891 --> 00:47:10,360
[Gulak] Do it. Focus on the hands, Kemp.

1059
00:47:10,761 --> 00:47:12,296
Come on Dempsey, sit-out here.

1060
00:47:12,362 --> 00:47:13,463
Mr. Gulak.

1061
00:47:15,065 --> 00:47:16,400
What?

1062
00:47:16,466 --> 00:47:19,369
I washed the mats,
swept the ring, and I sprayed the ropes.

1063
00:47:19,436 --> 00:47:22,072
Good, Borne. Hey, are you tired?

1064
00:47:22,139 --> 00:47:23,140
No, sir.

1065
00:47:23,207 --> 00:47:25,242
That's good, because we don't get tired.

[chuckles]

1067
00:47:27,377 --> 00:47:29,713
I said we don't get tired, Borne.

1068
00:47:30,147 --> 00:47:32,516
Don't tap out, keep working.

1069

You need to step up, buddy.

1070

[announcer] The following
is a mixed tag team match

1077
00:48:13,957 --> 00:48:15,425
scheduled for one fall.

1078

Introducing first,
representing the Judgment Day,

1079
00:48:19,062 --> 00:48:23,433
the women's world champion, Rhea Ripley,

1080
00:48:23,901 --> 00:48:30,874
and the NXT North American champion,
Dominik Mysterio.

1081
00:48:32,142 --> 00:48:34,211
[Vic] Mixed results last night on raw,

1082
00:48:34,278 --> 00:48:37,114
as Rhea felt the wrath of Raquel.

1083
00:48:38,615 --> 00:48:41,585

for the rest of Judgment Day.

slithering around Judgment Day's business,

1085

but tonight the business
for Mami and her latino heat

1086
00:48:49,593 --> 00:48:53,196
is Dragon Lee and Lyra Valkyria.

when we come back
next live here on Heatwave.

1089

With each passing second,
Ivy proves exactly what I was saying.

1090
00:49:09,680 --> 00:49:12,616
She's weak,
she's a failure, and most of all,

1091
00:49:12,683 --> 00:49:15,252
she's way too scared
to stand on her own two feet.

1092
00:49:15,419 --> 00:49:16,787
Don't fall for her facade.

1093

-Behind that strong physique…
-[Ivy] Ava.

Boys, get her.

then next week we get a match
against The Dyad,

1103

and when we win, we're reinstated in NXT.

so no Schism followers interfere,

but yes.

on winning the NXT Heritage…

-Lash, hold that, please.
-Yes.

In order to ensure a worthy contender
for your championship,

-What?

I don't have to defend this
for five weeks.

that they'd have to get everyone

around the globe

1144
00:51:14,738 --> 00:51:18,008

-That's right.
-That's it.

Men fight the men, women fight the women.

1162

[Booker] You're talking
about the ultimate power couple, Victor.

1163
00:52:39,122 --> 00:52:40,991
We're looking at Rhea Rip,

1164
00:52:41,324 --> 00:52:43,760
and Dom Dom Mysterio.

1165
00:52:43,827 --> 00:52:46,863
They're champions, Vic.

Come on.

1167
00:52:48,398 --> 00:52:52,302
Have we ever seen a couple like these two
in WWE?

1168
00:52:52,369 --> 00:52:53,370
I don't think so.

1169
00:52:53,436 --> 00:52:54,971
I don't think so, Vic.

1170
00:52:55,138 --> 00:52:56,506
[Vic] It's hard to argue with you.

1171
00:52:56,573 --> 00:52:58,542
Of course, we talk about the rough waters

1172
00:52:58,608 --> 00:53:00,677
for Rhea, Dom
and the rest of Judgment Day.

1173
00:53:00,744 --> 00:53:01,745

returned last night, Rhea,

a week from Saturday live in Pittsburg

1176
00:53:07,117 --> 00:53:08,885
for the women's world title.

1177
00:53:09,085 --> 00:53:10,887
A lot on the mind of Rhea Ripley,

1178
00:53:10,954 --> 00:53:13,924
but also the North American champion,
"dirty" Dom,

1179
00:53:13,990 --> 00:53:15,458
who's eyeing up Dragon Lee.

1180
00:53:15,525 --> 00:53:18,128
Dragon Lee felt he let his hero,

1181
00:53:18,194 --> 00:53:21,131
the United States champion,
the Hall of Famer, Rey Mysterio,

1182
00:53:21,298 --> 00:53:23,400
down in his match up with "Dirty" Dom.

1183
00:53:23,466 --> 00:53:25,769
[Booker] Everybody
wants a piece of the action,

1184
00:53:25,835 --> 00:53:29,839
and I understand Rey Mysterio
may be the hero of Dragon Lee,

1185
00:53:29,906 --> 00:53:31,241
but he needs to put that aside,

1186
00:53:31,308 --> 00:53:33,910
because he's in the ring
with the offspring,

1187
00:53:33,977 --> 00:53:37,647
perhaps the greatest
in the Mysterio's family.

1188

[Vic] Cover, shoulders are down,

1189
00:53:39,783 --> 00:53:40,617
able to get up.

1190
00:53:40,684 --> 00:53:43,386
Lee just wants to bring
back honor to lucha libre,

1191
00:53:43,987 --> 00:53:46,223
as he's heard what Rey Mysterio
has said to him.

1192
00:53:46,289 --> 00:53:47,490
He tries the roll through.

1193
00:53:47,557 --> 00:53:49,192
-[Booker] What?
-[Vic] Shoulders down.

1194
00:53:49,259 --> 00:53:52,829
[Booker] Dominik brought honor back
to lucha libre.

1195
00:53:52,996 --> 00:53:54,864
He's the North American champion.

1196
00:53:54,931 --> 00:53:56,266
He did it on his first try.

1197
00:53:56,333 --> 00:53:58,935
[Viv] Dom wouldn't have won the title
if not for Rhea.

1198
00:53:59,002 --> 00:54:02,339
He wouldn't have even defeated Dragon Lee
if it was not for Rhea Ripley.

1199
00:54:03,073 --> 00:54:05,875
-[Vic] Those are facts.
-[Booker] I wouldn't say that.

1200
00:54:06,977 --> 00:54:11,948
[Vic] Lee is trying to roll through,
but gets caught by "Dirty" Dom.

1201
00:54:12,515 --> 00:54:15,151
Lee's able to slither his way free
for just a moment.

1202
00:54:15,852 --> 00:54:18,321
These two superstars
have been on a collision course

1203
00:54:18,388 --> 00:54:19,322
with one another.

1204
00:54:21,358 --> 00:54:25,629
Since The Great American Bash,
as Dom just got caught.

1205
00:54:26,396 --> 00:54:29,232
[Booker] Look at Dominik.
He's one of the greatest lucha libre's

1206
00:54:29,299 --> 00:54:30,433
that we've ever seen.

1207
00:54:30,500 --> 00:54:31,935
One of the greatest high flyers.

1208
00:54:32,002 --> 00:54:34,437
He can do almost anything
inside that squared circle.

1209
00:54:34,504 --> 00:54:38,441
[Vic] Yes, include run, as right now,
he goes over to Mami,

1210
00:54:38,775 --> 00:54:41,444
and Mami, of course,
pulls all the strings.

1211
00:54:41,511 --> 00:54:43,780
The puppet master tags in,

1212
00:54:43,847 --> 00:54:47,884
and now the women's world champion
wants Lyra Valkyria.

1213
00:54:47,951 --> 00:54:50,086
[Booker] If this was a rap song
right here,

1214
00:54:50,153 --> 00:54:52,088
Lyra Valkyria versus Rhea Ripley,

1215
00:54:52,155 --> 00:54:54,491
it would be big bank take little bank.

1216
00:54:54,557 --> 00:54:56,192
You want to disrespect Mami?

1217
00:54:56,726 --> 00:54:59,162
I tried to give you advice.

1218
00:54:59,329 --> 00:55:02,432
[crowd screaming]

1219
00:55:02,499 --> 00:55:04,968
You didn't listen
because you're incompetent.

1220
00:55:05,635 --> 00:55:08,938
[Vic] Lyra trying to cash in right now,
as she blasted Ripley,

1221
00:55:09,005 --> 00:55:11,574
saying she lost a lot of respect
for the champion.

1222
00:55:11,641 --> 00:55:13,410
That hurt the women's world champion.

1223
00:55:13,476 --> 00:55:14,811
[Booker] Let me say something.

1224
00:55:14,878 --> 00:55:17,447
Lyra needs to understand
when you get in the rub,

1225
00:55:17,514 --> 00:55:22,986
you're perhaps going to need somebody
like Rhea Ripley one day in this business.

1226
00:55:23,053 --> 00:55:26,556
[Vic] So, Lyra should've been satisfied
with the endorsement?

1227
00:55:26,623 --> 00:55:27,724
[Booker] The rub, yes.

1228
00:55:27,791 --> 00:55:29,225
She should've been satisfied.

1229
00:55:29,292 --> 00:55:30,260
[crowd screaming]

1230
00:55:30,427 --> 00:55:32,362
[Vic] Right now, trying to get powered,

1231
00:55:32,829 --> 00:55:35,699
trying to roll through,
trying to counter, Lyra though.

1232
00:55:35,765 --> 00:55:36,766
Up and over.

1233
00:55:37,634 --> 00:55:40,337
Lyra bringing her a-game early
on in this match up,

1234
00:55:40,403 --> 00:55:43,540
but she got to bring a little bit more
against Ripley.

1235
00:55:43,606 --> 00:55:47,243
[Booker] Just got downed right there
by the rip.

1236
00:55:47,410 --> 00:55:49,245
[crowd screaming]

1237
00:55:49,412 --> 00:55:50,647
[Vic] We talked about earlier.

1238
00:55:50,714 --> 00:55:52,949
Looks for that knock-out blow twice.

1239
00:55:53,016 --> 00:55:54,417
Ripley able to counter.

1240
00:55:54,484 --> 00:55:58,588
Again, she has felt that roundhouse kick
from Valkyria in the past.

1241
00:55:59,889 --> 00:56:03,093
What do you make of JD McDonagh
slithering around Judgment Day's business?

1242
00:56:03,159 --> 00:56:06,629
[Booker] JD McDonagh just wanted a slice.

1243
00:56:06,696 --> 00:56:08,965
He just wanted a slice of the pie.

1244
00:56:09,132 --> 00:56:10,433
[crowd screaming]

1245
00:56:10,600 --> 00:56:12,669
[Lyra Valkyria screaming]

1246
00:56:12,736 --> 00:56:16,005
[Vic] Lyra's a little extra motivated,

1247
00:56:16,840 --> 00:56:19,042
and that might have fired up Valkyria,

1248
00:56:19,109 --> 00:56:22,145
who's looking for the biggest feather
to add to her collection.

1249
00:56:22,212 --> 00:56:25,048
But as you mentioned, Booker,
Ripley now…

1250
00:56:25,215 --> 00:56:27,484
[Mami screaming]

1251
00:56:27,550 --> 00:56:30,353
[Vic] Mami showcases why she

1252
00:56:30,587 --> 00:56:32,655
is the most dominant
in the women's division.

1253
00:56:32,722 --> 00:56:37,026
[Booker] Don't get me wrong,
that endorsement was huge for Lyra,

1254
00:56:37,093 --> 00:56:38,795
she ended up back in December,

1255
00:56:38,862 --> 00:56:41,631
and she's been on a mission, Vic.

1256
00:56:43,099 --> 00:56:45,235
[Vic] Look. Valkyria's lighting up Ripley.

1257
00:56:45,301 --> 00:56:46,803
Ripley swinging wildly.

1258
00:56:46,870 --> 00:56:49,005
Big overhand right,
kick to the mid-section.

1259
00:56:49,072 --> 00:56:52,208
Look at this offense combinations
from Valkyria.

1260
00:56:52,275 --> 00:56:56,079
[Booker] Beautiful strikes by Valkyria,
but got caught there, Vic.

1261
00:56:56,146 --> 00:56:57,747
-[Booker] Got caught.
-[Vic] Up, over.

1262
00:56:57,814 --> 00:57:01,484
Tag was made, and that, of course,
means "Dirty" Dom is legal.

1263
00:57:01,684 --> 00:57:03,219
Valkyria doesn't realize it,

1264
00:57:03,286 --> 00:57:05,422
but Dragon Lee's
got to come into the match up.

1265
00:57:05,588 --> 00:57:08,892
[crowd screaming]

1266
00:57:12,295 --> 00:57:16,032
-[Vic] Dragon Lee dropping "Dirty" Dom.
-[Booker] Wow.

1267
00:57:17,333 --> 00:57:19,536
[Vic] What an explosive kick. Lyra.

1268
00:57:19,602 --> 00:57:21,037
[Booker] No tag was made.

1269
00:57:21,638 --> 00:57:23,506
-[Vic] A tag was made.
-[Booker] Yes.

1270
00:57:23,573 --> 00:57:25,108
[Vic] Dom tagged Rhea Ripley.

1271
00:57:26,009 --> 00:57:28,378
Again, taking down the champion.

1272
00:57:28,645 --> 00:57:32,615
Lyra Valkyria, Dragon Lee
are firing on all cylinders.

1273
00:57:32,682 --> 00:57:34,717
How about that for some team chemistry?

1274
00:57:35,485 --> 00:57:36,619
[Booker] Come on.

1275
00:57:37,086 --> 00:57:38,755
[crowd screaming]

1276
00:57:39,022 --> 00:57:39,956
[Booker] Whoa.

1277
00:57:40,256 --> 00:57:43,193
[crowd screaming and clapping]

1278
00:57:43,860 --> 00:57:45,995
[Vic] Lee, Lyra rolling.

1279
00:57:46,062 --> 00:57:48,398
[crowd cheering]

1280
00:57:51,801 --> 00:57:53,236
[Vic] Back live on Heatwave,

1281
00:57:53,303 --> 00:57:55,138
and as we saw throughout the break,

1282
00:57:55,538 --> 00:57:57,507
Lyra and Lee were flying around,

1283
00:57:57,574 --> 00:58:01,244
but Mami has just grounded Lyra Valkyria.

1284
00:58:01,578 --> 00:58:04,881
When we talk about team chemistry,
Judgment Day has it.

1285
00:58:05,048 --> 00:58:07,951
Lee and Lyra
are trying to build their own.

1286
00:58:08,017 --> 00:58:11,120
[Booker] Chemistry, Vic,
doesn't happen overnight.

1287
00:58:11,354 --> 00:58:12,989
It takes a little bit of time.

1288
00:58:14,858 --> 00:58:16,926
[Vic] Lee looking on, concern in his eyes.

1289
00:58:16,993 --> 00:58:18,361
Valkyria shifting,

1290
00:58:18,428 --> 00:58:20,864
and kicking out
is the women's world champion,

1291
00:58:20,930 --> 00:58:23,132
but Ripley did not relinquish the hold.

1292
00:58:23,199 --> 00:58:26,603
So many times you see a superstar
relinquish what they were in,

1293
00:58:26,669 --> 00:58:30,940
and she's continuing to squeeze the air
out of the lungs of Lyra.

1294
00:58:31,007 --> 00:58:33,076
Again, and a second time did not work.

1295
00:58:33,142 --> 00:58:34,244
Now look at Ripley.

1296
00:58:34,310 --> 00:58:38,348
[Booker] One thing you can say about Lyra,
she's a fighter.

1297
00:58:38,414 --> 00:58:40,383
She has no grit in her body.

1298
00:58:40,450 --> 00:58:42,552
[Vic] Now there Dominik Mysterio

1299
00:58:42,619 --> 00:58:45,655
who downplayed his father's
recent United States championship win,

1300
00:58:45,722 --> 00:58:49,058
saying, "He's the champion
of all of North America,

1301
00:58:49,125 --> 00:58:50,460
not just the United States."

1302
00:58:50,527 --> 00:58:52,662
[Booker] That's what Mysterio did,

1303
00:58:52,729 --> 00:58:57,967
was a history maker, Raw, Smack Down, NXT,
main event all in one month.

1304
00:58:58,034 --> 00:59:01,204
Capturing the North American championship
in one shot.

1305
00:59:01,271 --> 00:59:06,876
He's like a sniper, Victor.
One kill, one shot. Oh, yes.

1306
00:59:06,943 --> 00:59:09,512
[Vic] Not even one month,
he did that all in one week,

1307
00:59:09,579 --> 00:59:11,881
but he also heard a message
from Mustafa Ali,

1308
00:59:11,948 --> 00:59:13,750
who called Dom a disgrace.

1309
00:59:14,217 --> 00:59:19,088
As Lyra
finally able to try to break free of Rhea.

1310
00:59:19,155 --> 00:59:22,425
Lyra needs to make a tag to Dragon Lee,
and she's so close,

1311
00:59:22,492 --> 00:59:24,994
but she also wants to prove a point
against Ripley,

1312
00:59:25,061 --> 00:59:27,063
who just dropped Lyra with one kick.

1313
00:59:27,130 --> 00:59:28,264
[Booker] Big shot.

1314
00:59:29,232 --> 00:59:31,501
[Vic] This is what has made Mami
so dominant,

1315
00:59:31,567 --> 00:59:35,438
has made every division hers
across all of WWE.

1316
00:59:35,505 --> 00:59:37,907
[Booker] Oh. We're going for the ride.

1317
00:59:40,076 --> 00:59:41,878
[Vic] Look at the power, the transition.

1318
00:59:41,945 --> 00:59:43,947
-[Vic] Bam. Suplex.
-[Booker] God. Man.

1319
00:59:44,213 --> 00:59:45,281
[Vic] Into the cover…

1320
00:59:45,348 --> 00:59:49,419
Flexed a little too soon did Ripley.

1321
00:59:49,485 --> 00:59:53,556
[Booker] Yes, indeed, but that's
flexing it to the utmost right here.

1322
00:59:53,623 --> 00:59:54,657
Look at the power.

1323
00:59:54,724 --> 00:59:56,192
Oh, yes.

1324
00:59:56,459 --> 00:59:59,829
[crowd clapping]

1325
01:00:00,296 --> 01:00:02,165
[Vic] Ripley starring into Dragon Lee.

1326
01:00:02,231 --> 01:00:04,500
It was Rhea Ripley who has challenged Lyra

1327
01:00:04,567 --> 01:00:06,102
to step up her game…

1328
01:00:06,169 --> 01:00:07,036
Oh.

1329
01:00:07,103 --> 01:00:10,239
…to prove that she's worthy
of what Ripley said.

1330
01:00:10,907 --> 01:00:14,911
-[Vic] Saying how good, how great…
-[Booker] Oh, yes.

1331
01:00:14,978 --> 01:00:16,879
[Vic] Of what Lyra could become.

1332
01:00:17,580 --> 01:00:19,148
This is what Judgment Day does.

1333
01:00:19,215 --> 01:00:20,283
You think it's funny.

1334
01:00:22,719 --> 01:00:23,953
[Booker] What are you saying?

1335
01:00:24,020 --> 01:00:27,590
[Vic] Lyra trying to fight her way back
to her corner,

1336
01:00:27,657 --> 01:00:30,326
and there comes Rhea Ripley
just as Dominant as ever.

1337
01:00:30,393 --> 01:00:31,961
[Booker] Didn't I say that?

1338
01:00:32,261 --> 01:00:36,833
Big bank take little bank,
that's what this is all about, man.

1339
01:00:36,899 --> 01:00:40,303
[Vic] I heard what you said,
and I know that Lyra's motivated tonight,

1340
01:00:40,903 --> 01:00:45,174
but, at some point,
motivation is going to stop Lyra.

1341
01:00:45,241 --> 01:00:48,411
She's not going to be able
to keep persevering and pushing forward.

1342
01:00:48,478 --> 01:00:50,246
She's got to figure something out,

1343
01:00:50,313 --> 01:00:52,015
and maybe she just did.

1344
01:00:52,982 --> 01:00:54,717
Big DDT off the counter.

1345
01:00:55,184 --> 01:01:00,223
So close now is Valkyria
to reach out and make the tag.

1346
01:01:00,456 --> 01:01:01,658
Here was the counter.

1347
01:01:02,525 --> 01:01:05,161
DDT connected,
and back to the live action.

1348
01:01:05,228 --> 01:01:07,663
Ripley able to stop Valkyria for a moment.

1349
01:01:07,864 --> 01:01:10,366
Valkyria desperately,
though, Booker, reaching out

1350
01:01:10,433 --> 01:01:12,402
and still couldn't get there.

1351
01:01:12,468 --> 01:01:15,138
[Booker] Ripley was planning that DDT.

1352
01:01:15,204 --> 01:01:18,274
That was nasty, was gnarly, man.

1353
01:01:18,341 --> 01:01:19,409
[crowd screaming]

1354
01:01:19,475 --> 01:01:20,643
[Vic] Valkyria

1355
01:01:21,177 --> 01:01:24,380
ducking, trying to… That was the kick.

1356
01:01:24,447 --> 01:01:25,882
That roundhouse kick connected.

1357
01:01:26,215 --> 01:01:28,384
-[Vic] Dom tries to tag into the match up.
-[Booker] Tag made.

1358
01:01:28,618 --> 01:01:31,387
[Vic] He made the tag,
Dragon Lee now has to come in.

1359
01:01:31,454 --> 01:01:34,090
Lee into the match up,
and Lee has been focused.

1360
01:01:34,157 --> 01:01:37,326
He's been peering,
piercing his eyes through that mask

1361
01:01:37,393 --> 01:01:42,031
the ring at Dom to get his hands
right back on the champion.

1362
01:01:42,098 --> 01:01:44,801
[Booker] Luchador
versus the matador right here.

1363
01:01:44,867 --> 01:01:45,902
Who's going to prevail?

1364
01:01:45,968 --> 01:01:48,137
[crowd screaming]

1365
01:01:48,204 --> 01:01:49,105
[crowd] Oh!

1366
01:01:49,172 --> 01:01:52,975
[Vic] Look at Dragon Lee,
one of the fastest-rising stars in NXT.

1367
01:01:53,176 --> 01:01:56,846
He's heard all the disrespect
from "Dirty" Dom,

1368
01:01:57,413 --> 01:01:58,481
from Judgment Day.

1369
01:01:58,681 --> 01:02:01,284
[crowd screaming]

1370
01:02:01,350 --> 01:02:03,653
-[Vic] What's Lee thinking?
-[Booker] Going up top.

1371
01:02:03,720 --> 01:02:04,754
[Vic] Lee.

1372
01:02:04,921 --> 01:02:06,456
Double stomp to the spine.

1373
01:02:06,522 --> 01:02:07,457
-[Booker] Kick out.
-[Vic] Cover.

1374
01:02:07,523 --> 01:02:08,357
[Booker] You got to move.

1375
01:02:08,424 --> 01:02:10,693
-[Vic] Dom.
-[Booker] So close.

1376
01:02:10,760 --> 01:02:13,029
[Vic] Dom able to kick out.
We talked about Dragon Lee.

1377
01:02:13,096 --> 01:02:15,198
What about the burden it is to be compared

1378
01:02:15,264 --> 01:02:17,400
to someone like a Rey Mysterio?

1379
01:02:17,467 --> 01:02:21,404
[Booker] He's doing a good job here
compared to Rey Mysterio.

1380
01:02:21,471 --> 01:02:25,374
He's gone out there and done things
Rey Mysterio didn't do in his lifetime.

1381
01:02:25,441 --> 01:02:27,944
[Vic] I'm talking about Dragon Lee,
not Dom.

You never listen to me whenever Dom,
Rhea Ripley or Judgment Day's around.

It's Raquel.

She's back on NXT.

1408

It hasn't been the best 48 hours.

How about that for team chemistry, Book?

So I'm proud of you.

I appreciate you.

didn't started the way I wanted,

I'm going to put the work in.
I'm going to get everything.

-Yes.
-Are you all right?

1444
01:04:35,171 --> 01:04:36,272
Yes, I'm cool.

1445
01:04:36,339 --> 01:04:39,575
Last time at the bash
things went down with you and Ilja

1446
01:04:39,642 --> 01:04:41,644
and there's a big asterisk on that win,

1447
01:04:41,711 --> 01:04:43,846
and I can't have that
on my title reign, you know?

1448
01:04:45,414 --> 01:04:46,449
Are you blaming me?

1449
01:04:47,250 --> 01:04:48,751
No.

1450
01:04:48,818 --> 01:04:51,821
I just want to silence any doubters
on my championship reign.

1451
01:04:51,888 --> 01:04:54,357
You know what I mean?
That starts tonight against Wes Lee.

All you Twitter trolls, X trolls,

Becky Lynch
was never the NXT women's champion.

1464
01:05:26,656 --> 01:05:30,793
In my defense,
she may be big time becks to all of you,

1465
01:05:30,860 --> 01:05:34,530
but, to me,
she's quite literally irrelevant.

I mean, you have eyes.

1469

Totally not what I had in mind.

1470
01:05:47,944 --> 01:05:50,780
Not how I wanted to end the
summer of Tiff-Tiff.

1471
01:05:51,614 --> 01:05:55,651
However, as champion,
I have the inside scoop,

1472
01:05:56,052 --> 01:05:59,955
and those four Tiffy wannabes
are going to opportunity to fight it out

1473

it'll be Roxanne Perez versus Gigi Dolin

Right there, we see Andre Chase
help Thea Hail for a moment.

1491
01:06:46,469 --> 01:06:48,537
At least that's what Andre Chase thought

1492
01:06:48,604 --> 01:06:50,072
because as Hail would turn around.

1493
01:06:50,139 --> 01:06:53,542
She would get caught,
she would get dropped by Jacy Jayne.

01:08:45,488 --> 01:08:46,956
I feel bad for our official,

1545
01:08:47,022 --> 01:08:48,924
who is trying to get them back
into the ring.

1546
01:08:48,991 --> 01:08:49,892
[Booker] Let me say something.

1547
01:08:49,959 --> 01:08:53,329
This right here tonight,
this is a moment for Von Wagner.

1548
01:08:53,395 --> 01:08:56,499
-[Vic] Ask me about Von Wagner.
-[Vic] You always do.

1549
01:08:57,032 --> 01:08:58,834
-[Booker] Go ahead.
-[Vic] What do you think?

1550
01:08:58,901 --> 01:09:01,036
[Booker] He's a big guy
with a mean streak.

1551
01:09:01,103 --> 01:09:04,406
Let me tell you something,
with a lot of potential.

1552
01:09:04,473 --> 01:09:06,642
That's what I think about Von Wagner.

1553
01:09:06,709 --> 01:09:10,045
[Vic] Wagner's trying to turn it around.
They are trying to get in the ring.

1554
01:09:10,279 --> 01:09:11,947
Von said he doesn't speak a lot.

1555
01:09:12,014 --> 01:09:13,449
One, he has Mr. Stone,

1556
01:09:13,516 --> 01:09:15,784
and two,
he let's his actions do the talking,

1557
01:09:15,951 --> 01:09:17,153
but so does Corbin.

1558
01:09:17,219 --> 01:09:19,722
[Booker] Throwing them hands. I like it.

1559
01:09:19,788 --> 01:09:22,892
I like that he's just starting
to take care of business.

1560
01:09:23,058 --> 01:09:26,595
Right now, Vic, we got two heavyweights.

1561
01:09:26,662 --> 01:09:27,997
I love it, man.

1562
01:09:28,063 --> 01:09:31,267
[Vic] I don't know if these two
even care to start this match up.

1563
01:09:31,333 --> 01:09:34,436
I don't think they give a damn
if the referee can get them back in

1564
01:09:34,503 --> 01:09:36,739
because they just want to beat each other.

1565
01:09:36,805 --> 01:09:38,240
[Booker] It's not about a match,
it's about this fight.

1566
01:09:38,307 --> 01:09:41,310
It's about this fight
between two grown men.

1567
01:09:41,377 --> 01:09:42,845
I love it, man.

1568
01:09:42,912 --> 01:09:45,714

[crowd screaming]

1571
01:09:51,487 --> 01:09:53,389
[Vic] No, no, no.

1572
01:09:53,556 --> 01:09:54,557
Booker, watch out.

1573
01:09:54,623 --> 01:09:55,524
[Booker] Go ahead.

1574
01:09:55,791 --> 01:09:56,926
Do your thing, man.

1575
01:09:56,992 --> 01:09:59,295
-[Vic] Von said…
-[Booker] Take care of your business.

1576
01:09:59,361 --> 01:10:00,963
-[Vic] Are you fine?
-[Booker] Yes.

1577
01:10:01,030 --> 01:10:02,665
[crowd screaming]

1578
01:10:02,731 --> 01:10:06,135
[Vic] Von said he had a table for one
reserved for Corbin.

1579
01:10:06,202 --> 01:10:08,938
[crowd screaming]

1580
01:10:09,004 --> 01:10:12,641
[Vic] You like this new era
of Baron Corbin, don't you?

1581
01:10:12,708 --> 01:10:14,843
Oh. That's Mr. Stone. Hey.

1582
01:10:15,311 --> 01:10:17,546
[crowd screaming]

1583
01:10:18,047 --> 01:10:18,948
[Vic] Corbin.

1584
01:10:19,014 --> 01:10:20,549
[crowd screaming]

1585
01:10:21,350 --> 01:10:24,687
[Vic] Mr. Stone
might have just saw his eyes flash before,

1586
01:10:24,920 --> 01:10:26,722
or his life flash before his eyes

1587
01:10:26,789 --> 01:10:29,058
because I just saw the eyes of Von Wagner.

1588
01:10:29,124 --> 01:10:30,259
[Booker] Let me say something.

1589
01:10:30,326 --> 01:10:32,795
-[Booker] Von Wagner is a guy…
-[Vic] Hey.

1590
01:10:32,861 --> 01:10:35,130
[Booker] When you talk about
a second-generation guy…

1591
01:10:35,197 --> 01:10:37,066
[Vic] You better get out of the way.

1592
01:10:37,700 --> 01:10:39,101
You're over here talking.

1593
01:10:40,302 --> 01:10:41,870
-[Vic] Holy.
-[Booker] What?

1594
01:10:41,937 --> 01:10:43,205
[indistinct]

1595
01:10:44,473 --> 01:10:46,175
[Booker] Wow.

1596
01:10:46,942 --> 01:10:50,679
[crowd barking]

1597
01:10:52,514 --> 01:10:53,749
[Vic] Bron Breakker.

1598
01:10:55,050 --> 01:10:56,318
You don't fear me?

1599
01:10:56,385 --> 01:10:57,953
[crowd screaming]

1600
01:10:58,120 --> 01:10:59,321
You should.

1601
01:10:59,388 --> 01:11:05,961
[crowd barking]

1602
01:11:07,496 --> 01:11:10,566
Brutus, Julius, where is your morality?

1603
01:11:10,633 --> 01:11:13,836
You disguised yourselves
and infiltrated our family

1604
01:11:13,902 --> 01:11:16,138
and tarnished the purity of the Schism.

1605
01:11:16,205 --> 01:11:21,610
Now the kidnap and ransom of our dear Ava,
and for what?

1606
01:11:21,677 --> 01:11:24,880
For one more chance
to save your floundering careers?

1607
01:11:24,947 --> 01:11:29,285
There is nothing Rip and Jagger
wouldn't do for their sister, Ava,

1608
01:11:29,351 --> 01:11:34,056
so return her to safety
and we will agree to your demands.

1609
01:11:34,123 --> 01:11:36,258
I know that you think that this cage

1610
01:11:36,325 --> 01:11:39,528
will keep the other members of the Schism
locked out,

1611
01:11:39,595 --> 01:11:42,197
but what you need to concern yourself with

1612
01:11:42,264 --> 01:11:44,733
is who you are locking yourself in with.

1613
01:11:44,800 --> 01:11:46,302
Grit your teeth, lads.

1614
01:11:46,468 --> 01:11:47,770
We've beaten you before,

1615
01:11:47,836 --> 01:11:52,441
and next week
we end this once and for all.

1616
01:11:54,443 --> 01:11:58,347
[Vic] Next week is stacked,
but it is main event time on Heatwave.

1617
01:11:58,547 --> 01:12:02,484
As Lee is looking to show
he can win the big one,

1618
01:12:02,551 --> 01:12:06,188
but his opponent,
the NXT champion, Carmelo Hayes,

1619
01:12:06,255 --> 01:12:09,158
is looking to put another name
in the rafters.

1620
01:12:09,224 --> 01:12:12,761
Lee and Hayes. NXT Title.
Main event of Heatwave.

1621
01:12:16,865 --> 01:12:20,135
[Vic] Who is headed to Heatwave
to take on Carmelo Hayes?

1622
01:12:20,202 --> 01:12:23,138
Thorpe made it known
he was coming for Dijak.

1623
01:12:23,205 --> 01:12:26,308
That distraction
opened the door for Wes Lee.

1624
01:12:26,375 --> 01:12:31,480
Wes Lee is now the number one contender.

1625
01:12:32,548 --> 01:12:35,484
The opportunity at the NXT championship,

1626
01:12:35,551 --> 01:12:37,820
the reason that I returned to NXT,

1627
01:12:38,220 --> 01:12:39,755
and you diverted my attention.

1628
01:12:41,357 --> 01:12:42,391
Eddy Thorpe,

1629
01:12:42,458 --> 01:12:46,028
you're the reason that I'm not becoming
NXT champion tonight.

1630
01:12:47,062 --> 01:12:50,065
I don't need to look up to the stars
or perform an ancient ritual

1631
01:12:50,132 --> 01:12:51,533
to know about your future.

1632
01:12:51,600 --> 01:12:54,169
If you thought the beating
that I gave you last time

1633
01:12:54,236 --> 01:12:55,804
that sent you into the wilderness was bad,

1634
01:12:56,305 --> 01:12:59,942
you have seven days
to become one with the spirits

1635
01:13:00,008 --> 01:13:02,244
because this time,
once I'm through with you,

1636
01:13:02,311 --> 01:13:05,581
not only will your body be broken,
but so will your spirit.

1637
01:13:05,647 --> 01:13:10,152
[suspense music playing]

1638
01:13:11,420 --> 01:13:13,655
[Vic] Becky Lynch
has thrown down in Fortnite,

1639
01:13:13,722 --> 01:13:16,658
and she caught what Tiffany Stratton
said earlier.

1640
01:13:16,725 --> 01:13:18,994
You shouldn't get on Becky's bad side

1641
01:13:19,061 --> 01:13:21,964
as Trish Stratus
might find out a week from Saturday

1642
01:13:22,030 --> 01:13:23,198
at payback.

1643
01:13:23,265 --> 01:13:26,835
The man weighing in
on the NXT women's champion.

1644
01:13:26,902 --> 01:13:29,805
What a night it's been at Heatwave.
I've mentioned Tiffany Stratton.

1645
01:13:29,872 --> 01:13:31,673
We heard from the champion tonight.

1646
01:13:31,740 --> 01:13:34,510
Next week,
we'll determine her number one contender.

1647
01:13:34,576 --> 01:13:38,781
Which of these four
will earn a championship opportunity?

1648
01:13:39,648 --> 01:13:40,749
Also, next week live,

1649
01:13:40,816 --> 01:13:43,218
the Schism has been on the hunt
for the Creeds,

1650
01:13:43,285 --> 01:13:45,487
but they didn't look under their own tree.

1651
01:13:45,554 --> 01:13:48,223
Julius and Brutus
revealed themselves to be the defectors.

1652
01:13:48,290 --> 01:13:50,893
Fowler and Reid want to get their hands
on the brothers.

1653
01:13:50,959 --> 01:13:52,761
They are willing to have them reinstated

1654
01:13:52,828 --> 01:13:56,398
if the Creeds
win in a steel cage match next week.

1655
01:13:56,465 --> 01:13:59,401
Who will face Noam Dar
for the Heritage Cup Championship

1656
01:13:59,468 --> 01:14:00,769
at NXT's No Mercy?

1657
01:14:00,836 --> 01:14:03,105
The field will be selected
by the Heritage Cup committee.

1658
01:14:03,172 --> 01:14:07,643
The NXT Global Heritage Invitational
starts next week live

1659
01:14:07,709 --> 01:14:10,212
right here on NXT.

1660
01:14:10,712 --> 01:14:14,116
It is main event time of Heatwave

1661
01:14:15,384 --> 01:14:18,220

around Dayton, Ohio.

1664
01:14:30,833 --> 01:14:33,635
He called tonight the biggest match
of his career.

1665
01:14:33,702 --> 01:14:36,405
There's been ups and downs.
they've been documented.

1666
01:14:36,472 --> 01:14:37,639
It hasn't been easy.

1667
01:14:37,806 --> 01:14:39,241
The dream is free,

1668
01:14:39,975 --> 01:14:41,977
but are you willing to pay the price

1669
01:14:42,578 --> 01:14:43,545
for the journey?

1670
01:14:43,612 --> 01:14:45,814
[Booker] You know what I think
about Wes Lee?

1671
01:14:45,881 --> 01:14:47,950
Perhaps
the greatest North American champion

1672
01:14:48,016 --> 01:14:49,785
in NXT's history.

1673
01:14:50,185 --> 01:14:52,521
He proved all the naysayers wrong,

1674
01:14:52,588 --> 01:14:55,157
all the doubters and me included

1675
01:14:55,224 --> 01:14:56,825
being one of those doubters.

1676
01:14:56,892 --> 01:15:00,929
This young man is truly one of the best

1677
01:15:00,996 --> 01:15:04,099
that I ever seen in this business.

1678
01:15:04,299 --> 01:15:09,471
[Vic] Wes Lee
could become an NXT triple-crown champion

1679
01:15:09,638 --> 01:15:10,739
here tonight.

1680
01:15:10,806 --> 01:15:15,477

at NXT Heatwave.

to what we just saw, Booker.

Not only the name

1688

going into the rafters possibly,

1689
01:16:07,829 --> 01:16:09,765
but Carmelo Hayes took to social media.

1690
01:16:09,831 --> 01:16:13,735
He also told Wes Lee face-to-face,
don't go chasing waterfalls.

1691

Stick to the stream that you're used to.

He believes Wes Lee is overstepping a line

1693
01:16:20,676 --> 01:16:22,878
that Wes Lee is not ready for.

1694
01:16:23,512 --> 01:16:24,580
[Booker] Yes, indeed.

1695
01:16:24,646 --> 01:16:26,248
I beg to differ.

1696
01:16:26,315 --> 01:16:30,886
I think Wes Lee
is more than ready for this match up.

he was looking for the same thing

That's history.

1701

That's going to that other level.

1713
01:17:26,341 --> 01:17:29,444
[Vic] We talked about
before this match up started earlier today

1714
01:17:29,511 --> 01:17:30,746
some history being made.

1715
01:17:30,812 --> 01:17:34,483
This is the first time ever
that two African-American male superstars

1716
01:17:34,549 --> 01:17:38,353
will compete in the main event
for the NXT Championship.

1717
01:17:38,420 --> 01:17:40,956
-[Vic] How significant is this moment?
-[Booker] Significant.

1718
01:17:41,023 --> 01:17:42,591
-[Vic] This is history.
-[Booker] It's huge.

1719
01:17:42,657 --> 01:17:44,926
I was there when I say Doug Williams,

1720
01:17:44,993 --> 01:17:46,862
the first black man to win the Super Bowl.

1721
01:17:47,229 --> 01:17:50,265
I was there when I saw Ron Simmons,
the first black man

1722
01:17:50,332 --> 01:17:52,768
to win the world heavyweight championship,

1723
01:17:52,834 --> 01:17:54,736
and now we watch these two young men

1724
01:17:54,803 --> 01:17:56,638
go toe-to-toe here in NXT.

1725
01:17:56,705 --> 01:17:57,739
This is great.

1726
01:17:57,806 --> 01:18:00,642
[Vic] For Wes Lee
believes that one of these superstars

1727
01:18:00,709 --> 01:18:02,077
will have victory here tonight.

1728
01:18:02,144 --> 01:18:03,512
This is what we were talking about.

1729
01:18:03,578 --> 01:18:06,281
This is a very emotional match up
even for yourself

1730
01:18:06,348 --> 01:18:10,185
as we were talking about two guys
that you've talked to week in, week out,

1731
01:18:10,252 --> 01:18:12,821
that you've helped tutor,
that you've helped grow as well.

1732
01:18:12,888 --> 01:18:16,658
[Booker] I hope that I was a part
of these two young men

1733
01:18:16,725 --> 01:18:19,227
being here myself,
because I was one of the guys

1734
01:18:19,294 --> 01:18:22,798
that inspired these young men
once upon a time.

1735
01:18:23,699 --> 01:18:25,300
[Vic] Oh. Again, in stereo.

1736
01:18:25,534 --> 01:18:28,570
-[Vic] A little bit of a stalemate.
-[Booker] Yes.

1737
01:18:28,637 --> 01:18:30,338
[crowd cheering]

1738
01:18:30,405 --> 01:18:32,941
[Vic] To bring you back.
Can you relate to Wes Lee?

1739
01:18:33,008 --> 01:18:36,778
Lee said he was never
and has never been the chosen one.

1740
01:18:36,845 --> 01:18:38,980
-[Booker] He wasn't the guy…
-[Vic] Into cover for the title.

1741
01:18:39,347 --> 01:18:43,051
[Booker] He wasn't the guy
that most likely to succeed, Vic.

1742
01:18:43,118 --> 01:18:45,220
He went out there and made his own break.

1743
01:18:45,287 --> 01:18:48,256
He's on a mission
to be the best in the world,

1744
01:18:48,323 --> 01:18:49,925
and I understand it.

1745
01:18:49,991 --> 01:18:52,728
You look at this kid
and he's got nothing but champion

1746
01:18:52,794 --> 01:18:53,995
written all over him.

1747
01:18:54,062 --> 01:18:54,896
[Vic] He's heard it all.

1748
01:18:54,963 --> 01:18:58,467
He can't make it on his own,
he can't break out as a singles star,

1749
01:18:58,533 --> 01:19:00,435
he can't win the big one.

1750
01:19:00,502 --> 01:19:03,605
He knows he's close
and he can't fail here tonight.

1751
01:19:03,672 --> 01:19:04,873
Again, both men,

1752
01:19:05,674 --> 01:19:06,508
same idea,

1753
01:19:06,575 --> 01:19:09,077
and this stalemate
looks like it's about to end.

1754
01:19:09,144 --> 01:19:10,412
Oh, got caught.

1755
01:19:10,679 --> 01:19:11,513
[Booker chuckles]

1756
01:19:11,580 --> 01:19:13,815
[Vic] NXT title on the line.
Don't go anywhere.

1757
01:19:14,683 --> 01:19:16,418
It's Heatwave. It's the main event.

1758
01:19:16,485 --> 01:19:17,385
[crowd cheering]

1759
01:19:19,654 --> 01:19:21,423
[crowd cheering]

1760
01:19:21,490 --> 01:19:22,824
[Vic] Back live on NXT Heatwave.

1761
01:19:22,891 --> 01:19:25,060
The NXT Championship is on the line

1762
01:19:25,127 --> 01:19:26,828
between the champion, Carmelo Hayes,

1763
01:19:26,895 --> 01:19:28,497
and the challenger, Wes Lee.

1764
01:19:29,364 --> 01:19:34,402
Is Hayes considered being the champion
to be a luxury?

1765
01:19:34,469 --> 01:19:36,805
[Booker] Vic,
you've heard me say at one time

1766
01:19:36,872 --> 01:19:38,140
and a thousand times.

1767
01:19:38,206 --> 01:19:40,375
It's about checks and championship,

1768
01:19:40,442 --> 01:19:44,045
but that championship, that title,
you earn that, Vic.

1769
01:19:44,112 --> 01:19:46,581
With that comes first-class treatment.

1770
01:19:46,648 --> 01:19:48,984
I'm talking about all the biggest suites.

1771
01:19:49,818 --> 01:19:54,022
Biscotties everywhere when you got that.

1772
01:19:54,089 --> 01:19:56,258
[Vic] Hayes
is starting to feel that pressure?

1773
01:19:56,324 --> 01:19:59,027
The media appearances,
the special events, the live events

1774
01:19:59,094 --> 01:20:02,531
like this past Saturday
when NXT live was sold out in Tampa.

1775
01:20:02,597 --> 01:20:06,268
[Booker] I remember one way back
in the day Tiger Conway Jr.

1776
01:20:06,334 --> 01:20:09,337
He told me he had this ambience
in the ring and out of the ring.

1777
01:20:09,404 --> 01:20:11,072
-[Vic] Fade away.
-[Booker] Yes.

1778
01:20:11,273 --> 01:20:12,174
All the time.

1779
01:20:12,240 --> 01:20:14,976
Just like this young man right here
called Carmelo Hayes

1780
01:20:15,043 --> 01:20:17,145
trying to retain that championship.

1781
01:20:17,546 --> 01:20:20,549
[Vic] Hayes in control
and Hayes hitting that pad away

1782
01:20:20,615 --> 01:20:24,119
fade away right down
in the chest of Wes Lee.

1783
01:20:24,186 --> 01:20:26,254
Lee brought up some solid points last week

1784
01:20:26,321 --> 01:20:29,024
that maybe angered the champion

1785
01:20:29,090 --> 01:20:31,660
because Lee brought up he beat Carmelo

1786
01:20:31,827 --> 01:20:33,495
to win that North American Title,

1787
01:20:33,562 --> 01:20:35,597
that historic championship reign.

1788
01:20:35,664 --> 01:20:36,932
[Booker] He won the match.

1789
01:20:36,998 --> 01:20:38,834
And that's the one thing,

1790
01:20:38,900 --> 01:20:41,736
beating a man one, two, three
in the middle of the ring

1791
01:20:41,803 --> 01:20:44,272
is different from beating a bunch of guys

1792
01:20:44,339 --> 01:20:46,074
that just walk in the ring as champion.

1793
01:20:46,141 --> 01:20:47,142
Totally different.

1794
01:20:47,609 --> 01:20:49,477
[Vic] It's the main event of NXT Heatwave.

1795
01:20:49,544 --> 01:20:51,379
NXT championship is on the line.

1796
01:20:51,446 --> 01:20:52,881
These two slugging it out.

1797
01:20:53,782 --> 01:20:57,752
Both superstars want to be great,
both want to be remembered.

1798
01:20:57,819 --> 01:20:59,754
They want their legacies to live on.

1799
01:20:59,821 --> 01:21:03,225
It's these moments, Booker,
that you have to live for.

1800
01:21:03,291 --> 01:21:04,292
[Booker] Let me say something.

1801
01:21:04,359 --> 01:21:06,995
It's always that one guy
that has your number, too,

1802
01:21:07,062 --> 01:21:09,531
and one thing about this young man,
Wes Lee.

1803
01:21:09,598 --> 01:21:13,602
He's had everybody's number
that he's faced except once,

1804
01:21:13,668 --> 01:21:14,736
Dominik Mysterio.

1805
01:21:15,403 --> 01:21:17,806
[Vic] Lee trying to fight back here
against Hayes.

1806
01:21:17,873 --> 01:21:19,875
Hayes charging right in.
Goes up, goes over.

1807
01:21:19,941 --> 01:21:23,111
This is the athleticism
that Carmelo Hayes possesses

1808
01:21:23,178 --> 01:21:25,847
which has made him the NXT champion.

1809
01:21:26,014 --> 01:21:29,017
[Booker] It won't be the
athleticism as far as Carmelo goes.

1810
01:21:29,084 --> 01:21:30,552
He got to bring the fight.

1811
01:21:30,785 --> 01:21:32,287
He needs to bring the noise.

1812
01:21:32,354 --> 01:21:34,256
-[Booker] Big shot.
-[Vic] Off the kick.

1813
01:21:34,322 --> 01:21:38,693
Into the cover, hook of the leg,
and Lee just got the left shoulder up.

1814
01:21:38,760 --> 01:21:44,165
You see Carmelo Hayes
with maybe a little sense of frustration.

1815
01:21:44,232 --> 01:21:46,534
We got to remember. Look around.

1816
01:21:46,601 --> 01:21:48,236
There is no Trick Williams.

1817
01:21:48,303 --> 01:21:52,507
This is the first time Carmelo Hayes
has come out here as champion, solo.

1818
01:21:52,574 --> 01:21:55,510
[Booker] You're looking at Wes Lee,
and Carmelo Hayes.

1819
01:21:55,577 --> 01:21:59,481
And the way I look at this match, Vic,
this is champion versus champion.

1820
01:21:59,547 --> 01:22:03,051
Even though this young, Wes Lee,
doesn't have a belt around his waist,

1821
01:22:03,118 --> 01:22:04,619
he's a champion at heart.

1822
01:22:04,686 --> 01:22:06,321
I truly believe that.

1823
01:22:06,388 --> 01:22:09,858
[crowd cheering]

1824
01:22:11,693 --> 01:22:14,562
[Vic] Carmelo now just pulling up Wes Lee

1825
01:22:14,629 --> 01:22:17,432
as we are getting into the late stages
of this match up.

1826
01:22:17,832 --> 01:22:21,036
Hayes has been here
where the lights are the brightest.

1827
01:22:21,336 --> 01:22:24,873
Lee to his own credit
has been in a lot of big match situations,

1828
01:22:24,940 --> 01:22:26,508
but not with stakes like this.

1829
01:22:26,574 --> 01:22:28,643
For the NXT Title,
springboard didn't connect.

1830
01:22:28,710 --> 01:22:30,111
Lee charging in.

1831
01:22:30,178 --> 01:22:32,347
Meteora, shoulders down,
title on the line.

1832
01:22:32,514 --> 01:22:33,782
Can Lee do it?

1833
01:22:33,848 --> 01:22:37,052
He cannot in that moment.

1834
01:22:37,118 --> 01:22:40,855
[Booker] Both of these young men
have prepared for this moment.

1835
01:22:40,922 --> 01:22:45,393
I always say that preparation
is the only luck in this situation.

1836
01:22:45,460 --> 01:22:47,329
[Vic] Got caught, did Carmelo.

1837
01:22:47,862 --> 01:22:48,964
Wes Lee now.

1838
01:22:49,431 --> 01:22:51,066
Whoa.

1839
01:22:51,433 --> 01:22:52,701
Innovative offense.

1840
01:22:53,735 --> 01:22:56,638
This is what Wes Lee brings to the game.
He always changes his game.

1841
01:22:56,705 --> 01:22:59,374
He's always able to flip the script
as he goes to the top.

1842
01:23:00,008 --> 01:23:01,876
Bringing that heavy artillery.

1843
01:23:01,943 --> 01:23:04,512
This is what made him
the number one contender last week.

1844
01:23:04,579 --> 01:23:06,881
Is it enough to put gold around his waist?

1845
01:23:06,948 --> 01:23:10,318
Carmelo
able to get that right shoulder up.

1846
01:23:12,020 --> 01:23:14,189
Just bam.

1847
01:23:14,255 --> 01:23:19,527
In the nick of time for Carmelo Hayes
here to continue his reign.

1848
01:23:20,061 --> 01:23:22,497
We talked about Wes Lee being so close.

1849
01:23:23,198 --> 01:23:26,368
That was close. He's got to finish now.

1850
01:23:26,434 --> 01:23:28,303
[Booker] Talk about those obstacles
as well.

1851
01:23:28,370 --> 01:23:30,672
Sometimes
you got to go over, around, under.

1852
01:23:30,739 --> 01:23:34,275
Tonight, this young man,
Wes Lee is going to have to go straight

1853
01:23:34,342 --> 01:23:36,411
through Carmelo Hayes to walk around,

1854
01:23:36,478 --> 01:23:39,080
walk out and new NXT Champion.

1855
01:23:39,280 --> 01:23:41,649
[Vic] Lee believes without challenge
there is no growth.

1856
01:23:41,816 --> 01:23:44,386
He challenges himself day in and day out.

1857
01:23:44,452 --> 01:23:45,854
He knows that every champion

1858
01:23:45,920 --> 01:23:48,623
was once a contender
who refused to give up.

1859
01:23:48,690 --> 01:23:52,460
-[Vic] Wes Lee "The Kardiac Kid".
-[Booker] He's going for it.

1860
01:23:52,527 --> 01:23:54,529
The kardiac kick. Got caught by Carmelo.

1861
01:23:54,596 --> 01:23:56,798
Able to counter for a moment,
turn right back in.

1862
01:23:56,865 --> 01:24:00,101
Hayes is now lifting up
and dropping with a cutter.

1863
01:24:02,070 --> 01:24:05,707
Hayes with his sights set on Wes Lee.

1864
01:24:05,774 --> 01:24:06,875
Bam.

1865
01:24:07,509 --> 01:24:10,578
That first 48 might be the final three.

1866
01:24:10,645 --> 01:24:13,114
And Lee is able to kick out again.

1867
01:24:13,181 --> 01:24:14,215
[crowd cheering]

1868
01:24:14,282 --> 01:24:17,585
What is starting to set in now
for Carmelo Hayes?

1869
01:24:17,652 --> 01:24:20,221
[Booker] A bit of frustration
is setting in right now

1870
01:24:20,288 --> 01:24:24,325
as well as it has got to be in the back
of his mind that Wes Lee

1871
01:24:24,392 --> 01:24:28,229
did get a tainted victory, so to speak.

1872
01:24:28,596 --> 01:24:31,399
[Vic] You can call it whatever you want.
A victory is a victory.

1873
01:24:32,000 --> 01:24:33,168
Now…

1874
01:24:34,702 --> 01:24:37,505
getting a little too close for us
out here.

1875
01:24:37,572 --> 01:24:39,841
As again you have to get into the ring.

1876
01:24:39,908 --> 01:24:43,812
You can't win the championship
on a count out if you're Wes Lee.

1877
01:24:43,878 --> 01:24:45,680
[crowd screaming]

1878
01:24:45,880 --> 01:24:48,183
What is going through the mind
of Carmelo Hayes?

1879
01:24:48,249 --> 01:24:50,785
[crowd screaming]

1880
01:24:51,186 --> 01:24:52,353
[Vic] Oh!

1881
01:24:53,054 --> 01:24:56,991
[crowd screaming]

1882
01:24:57,625 --> 01:25:04,599
[crowd chants] Holy…!

1883
01:25:08,336 --> 01:25:11,739
-[Vic] I can't believe what I saw.
-[Booker] You saw it.

1884
01:25:11,806 --> 01:25:14,709
[Vic] Did you see Carmelo Hayes
shift his weight

1885
01:25:14,776 --> 01:25:17,445
and hit that DDT
almost like a no look shot?

1886
01:25:17,512 --> 01:25:19,914
[Booker] Talking
about throwing caution to the wind.

1887
01:25:19,981 --> 01:25:24,185
This young man right now,
Carmelo Hayes, he's going up top.

1888
01:25:24,252 --> 01:25:26,554
-[Booker] He's looking to finish.
-[Vic] When he shoots, he doesn't miss.

1889
01:25:26,621 --> 01:25:29,424
Trying to hit nothing but… No.

1890
01:25:29,824 --> 01:25:32,627
Wes Lee able to get out of the way
as the kardiac kick…

1891
01:25:32,694 --> 01:25:35,897
Kardiac kick for Wes Lee.

1892
01:25:36,464 --> 01:25:37,866
The dream realized.

1893
01:25:37,932 --> 01:25:39,134
No.

1894
01:25:39,200 --> 01:25:41,736
Oh, Carmelo.

1895
01:25:41,903 --> 01:25:45,340
[Booker] Smart right there,
creating that little space.

1896
01:25:45,406 --> 01:25:47,342
-[Vic] Championship intuition.
-[Booker] Exactly.

1897
01:25:47,408 --> 01:25:53,047
-[Vic] Able to get out of the ring.
-[Booker] Like I say, that managing.

1898
01:25:54,115 --> 01:25:57,318
[Vic] Look at the eyes of Wes Lee,
the challenger.

1899
01:25:57,519 --> 01:25:59,587
[crowd cheering]

1900
01:25:59,988 --> 01:26:00,655

1903
01:26:08,997 --> 01:26:10,532

1905
01:26:13,168 --> 01:26:14,169

[referee] Five!

1913
01:26:24,045 --> 01:26:27,315
[Vic] Wes Lee swung for the fences,

1914
01:26:27,715 --> 01:26:29,751
went for the home run and missed.

1915
01:26:29,817 --> 01:26:32,620
Referee is doing a nice job,
checked on Wes Lee,

1916
01:26:32,687 --> 01:26:35,156
and now he's starting his count at eight.

1917
01:26:35,790 --> 01:26:39,427
Hayes looking to the eyes of Lee.
The referee is continuing to count.

1918
01:26:39,494 --> 01:26:42,463
Just before ten,
Lee was able to break the count,

1919
01:26:42,530 --> 01:26:43,731
and that's that moment.

1920
01:26:43,798 --> 01:26:45,400
That's that heart. Look at Hayes.

1921
01:26:45,466 --> 01:26:47,902
Hayes wasting no time,
going all the way to the top.

1922
01:26:48,469 --> 01:26:49,537
Wes Lee.

1923
01:26:49,904 --> 01:26:52,140
-[Booker] Oh, yes.
-[Vic] Nothing but net.

1924
01:26:52,206 --> 01:26:53,608
[crowd screaming]

1925
01:26:53,775 --> 01:26:55,843
[crowd] One, two, three.

1926
01:26:55,910 --> 01:26:57,512
[Vic] Hayes retains.

1928
01:26:58,913 --> 01:27:02,684

1931
01:27:11,392 --> 01:27:14,162
[Vic] What a victory for Carmelo Hayes,

1932
01:27:14,228 --> 01:27:16,898
but take nothing away from Wes Lee.

1933
01:27:17,065 --> 01:27:19,334
Lee can hang with anyone.

1934
01:27:19,400 --> 01:27:24,739
