[dramatic music starts]
[male narrator] Then.
[man 1] Wow!
[male narrator] Now.
[man 2] Acknowledge me.
[man 3] The king of kings.
You can see me.
[male narrator] Forever.
Together.
[dramatic music ends]
[man 4] These guys have something to prove, they have to prove it to me.
I'm just going to enjoy watching them destroy each other.
[man 5] Bron Breaker looks to Von Wagner, Cinderella story,
it's no disqualification.
[tense music]
Brony boy,
make sure you bring every ounce of energy you got.
And I'll make sure I'll bring the hard work.
-[groans] -[laughs]
-[groans] -[crowd cheering]
You have the killer instinct, let's go.
[man 6] Holy sh…
[man 7] Von never felt this in his life,
he's always been rejected,
he's never been accepted.
[man 8] No, come on.
-[ref] Three! -[bell ringing]
[crowd cheering]
-[man 9] Oh! -[man 10] What the hell?
The match is over, dammit.
[suspenseful tone]
-[thud] -[man 11] Oh!
Wes Lee, the NXT title is mine.
Carmelo Hayes, it's mine.
And I will rip
everyone who's have a stance
[screaming] in my way!
Dog, I got more heart than you can handle. I have no hesitation.
[man 12] Going through hell again, to get to Carmelo out of the NXT Championship.
[man 13] Hey, hold on.
You two are the two top ranked man, here in NXT,
But let's see who the best is.
It is going to be Wes Lee
versus Ilja Dragunov.
The winner will face me
in Bakersfield, California for this NXT championship.
[man 14] Kiana James will face Tiffany Stratton
for the NXT Women's Championship.
[pop music starts]
[man 15] The center of the universe,
-is still at a tippy top. -[pop music ends]
Tiffany, Tiffany, Tiffany.
-Congratulations on your victory! -[tense music starts]
Seeing as I've won just about everything in this company,
apart for one title and that title is hanging on your shoulder.
I think it is time that The Man comes around to NXT.
It will be Tiffany Stratton versus The Man
for the NXT Women's Championship, in the main event.
Tootles!
-[tense music ends] -[metal music starts]
[Vic] Oh, Booker, The Man arrived earlier,
ready to put Stratton in her place,
the NXT Women's Championship on the line in our main event tonight.
And we have all the ingredients
for the biggest Tuesday in NXT history.
And we are kicking things off with ramifications
-for No Mercy. -[metal music ends]
[electronic music starts]
[bell ringing]
[Alicia] The following contest is scheduled for one fall
for the winner, who'll face Carmelo Hayes
in No Mercy.
Introducing first,
Wes Lee!
[Vic] Booker, you can't doubt the heart
of Wes Lee.
He's even made a believer out of you.
[Booker] Yes, he indeed is amazing, inside threat.
Circled to this match right here. Wes Lee,
[indistinct], Victor,
anywhere in the world, man.
[Vic] This is a match about who is the best,
who will be the number one contender,
-who is headed to No Mercy. -[electronic music ends]
[triumphant music starts]
[Alicia] And his opponent.
[exclaiming] Ilja Dragunov!
[Vic] Dragunov last week said he's finished with roadblocks.
-He's finished with personal issues-- -[Booker] Yes.
[Vic] And he's even done
with Wes Lee's personal journey.
[Booker] Talking about those obstacles,
we're talking about either go over, around, under right now.
Ilja Dragunov is looking to go straight through Wes Lee tonight,
and conduct his greatest symphony, here tonight. Oh, yeah!
I can't. I got goosebumps, man.
[crowd cheering]
[Vic] Are we staring into the eyes of the next number one contender?
-[Booker] Yeah! -[Vic] Or will Wes Lee's heart
-carry him to Bakersfield? -[music ends]
Who's headed to No Mercy? Whose night will it be? Lee strikes first.
[Booker] You're talking about Wes Lee making me a believer.
He's always been able to go out there
and rise to the occasion in those big matches.
This might be that roadblock tonight, Vic.
[Vic] Leslie staying right on top of Dragunov.
Dragunov now answering, right back.
Swing and a miss. And look at Lee.
Lee determined, trying to chop down Dragunov.
And can you recall in recent times,
two superstars who have felt they deserve a title opportunity as much as these?
[Booker] These guys in that locker room, they should feel that way.
Because like I say. It's about checks. It's about championship.
That's what it's about.
-[Vic] Also talked about it. Not about friends.
There's no friends in the locker room.
There's two things that are real and one is championships.
How about the main event?
Tiffany Stratton, Becky Lynch for the NXT Women's title.
Massive main event here tonight and we'll also continue
-the Global Heritage Invitational. -[Booker] There's no friends?
-[Vic] That's what you keep telling me. -[Booker] [indistinct]
[Vic] These two have gotten in each other's face.
They've gotten in the champions acquaintances' face.
They are both determined
to headline a premium live event
like No Mercy, Bakersfield, California.
Tickets available now at axs.com for Saturday, September 30th.
[Booker] Tonight is about dropping the hammer, Victor.
Wes Lee is one that always went to that next level.
But I, I say that Ilja Dragunov,
he has been one step away from victory, from glory, man.
[crowd cheering]
[Vic] NXT Universe is fired up
and this is just the opening match up of the night,
as Wes Lee's starting to quicken the pace.
[Booker] [indistinct]
-[Booker] Oh, yes. -[Vic] Oh!
[presenters laugh]
[Vic] You feel that?
[Booker] Dragunov's head is blood red,
right there for that big chop.
[Vic] And there are going to be blood blisters forming
on the chest of Wes Lee.
And it was Dragunov who said, he would rip the heart
out of Wes Lee tonight--
-[Booker] Toe! -[Vic] To make it to No Mercy.
[crowd cheering]
[Booker] Wow. Big, big suplex.
One thing about Wes Lee,
you got to separate him from his senses to get a victory, Vic.
[Vic] I agree with that.
Do you believe and agree with Dragunov
that he would be champion if not for Trick Williams?
[Booker] Come on, Vic. You saw it.
It was live and in living color.
Perhaps, yes.
We should be looking at a new champion right now,
-and his name is Ilja Dragunov. -[crowd cheering]
[Vic] Lee answering right back.
Dragunov rocked all the way to the outside.
[Booker] This is the blood, when this man is so special,
when he's on the move.
That's that wrestling when he's at his best.
Oh, yes!
[Vic] Wes Lee taking it to Drag.
How personal can it get in the locker room,
when you have two alphas, like these two, here tonight?
[Booker] You're learning something here.
It should always be about going out there and taking care.
Wait a minute. I don't like the looks of this.
[Vic] Dragunov right now. Just caught Wes Lee!
Lee was dialing it up, one more time.
Dragunov had it scouted.
[crowd cheering]
[Booker] That's what I'm talking about. This is the fight right here.
-[Vic] Booker! -[Booker] No!
[crowd cheering]
[Vic] Who's headed to Bakersfield, who's the number one contender?
[crowd] NXT! NXT!
[Vic] Who is headed to Bakersfield, who's headed to No Mercy,
who will be the number one contender to Carmelo Hayes's NXT Championship?
Lee, Dragunov have been absolutely destroying each other
-throughout the commercial break. -[Booker] Yes.
I'm going to tell you, Ilja Dragunov, this guy's the most hungriest guy
that I've seen here in NXT to date.
He's dangerous, Vic, in the worst way.
-[Vic] He trying to-- -[Booker] Oh, boy!
[Vic] He did with a hurricane running into a cover in Dragunov.
Able to kick out at two tier point.
[Booker] Wow!
[Vic] When it comes to Dragunov, he's a relentless superstar,
unlike anyone we've ever seen here in NXT.
[Booker] Yes, indeed. Lee's wrestling style is tested.
Oh, spike!
Got spiked right there.
[Vic] And just wasn't able to punch his ticket
to Bakersfield. I mean, Booker,
listen to the NXT Universe.
[crowd] This is awesome! [clapping]
[wrestlers groan]
[Dragunov] Fight me!
[Vic] What a way to kick off NXT.
You know what, what a huge main event we have,
but what a hell of a match we have now.
[Booker] We don't even need a referee.
I don't know why he's in there because he's done nothing all night.
These guys have been going toe to toe, man.
[Lee groans]
[Vic] Lee showcasing that heart,
and looking for the knockout.
[Booker] Big uppercut there by Lee.
-[Vic] Ooh! -[crowd cheering]
Dragunov answering back.
Lee gets caught. Lee now…
Oh! Underneath the jaw.
-[Booker laughs] -[Vic] Dragunov still on his feet.
Buckle got stopped.
[Booker] Wow!
Right to the chest.
And Lee buckling as well.
[crowd] NXT! NXT! NXT! [clapping]
[Vic] Take another look.
-Right under the nose. -[Booker] Wow!
[Vic] What precision from Wes Lee.
[Booker] What I like about Lee, he's not just a hybrid athlete.
He's one of those guys that he's going to go and fight to the end.
[wrestlers groan]
[Vic] NXT universe right now might be saying both these guys,
but only one will be standing at the end.
[crowd cheering]
And can the Kardiak Kid
head to No Mercy?
[Booker] Oh, wait a minute.
[crowd cheering]
[Vic] There's that ability of Dragunov to persevere, to power through.
[Dragunov] Yes!
[Booker] That was nasty, Vic.
-[Booker] Oh, wow. -[Vic] Spanish fly!
Spanish fly. Cover, cover.
Dakota, No Mercy.
-[Vic] And Dragunov, just… -[Booker] Wow!
[crowd cheering]
-[Vic] That shot. -[Booker] That's what I'm talking about.
Wes Lee's always trying to figure it out,
pull it out like a rabbit.
-[Booker] Almost got it, man. -[Vic] He almost pull off quite the trick.
But…
Dragunov, that fighting spirit.
Here comes Dragunov, raining down elbows, maybe looking for a knockout of his own.
Lee lifeless. Dragunov may be looking for another German suplex.
Countered by Lee at the last moment.
Lee needs to get a little bit of separation.
-[Booker] Wow! -[Vic] That is not a way to do it.
The air driven out of the lungs of Lee.
And now Dragunov trying to capitalize.
-[Vic] Answering back! -[Booker] Good God!
[Vic] Devastating, Larry, is that gonna be enough?
-[Vic] And no, it is not leaked! -[Booker] Wow!
[Vic] These two right now are showing you,
they're showing you what it takes,
what it means to be a champion here in NXT.
[Booker] Both of these guys are tough to the bone.
You have to separate totally from the assistant.
The referee might have to make the call sometime.
I don't know if he's going to quit anytime soon.
[crowd cheering]
-[Booker] Wow. -[Vic] Fifty-firty split,
-here in the NXT universe. Now, he maybe, -[Booker] Oh!
-[Vic] Looking for-- -[Booker] This is it!
[Vic] That Kardiak Kick!
[crowd cheering]
[Vic] Got caught by Dragunov.
Then Dragunov now,
looking to plant Lee,
who counters into a DDT.
[Booker] Wow!
[Vic] Ilja had enough!
Rolling to the outside,
and your heart breaks--
-[Booker] This kid-- -[Vic] For Lee.
[Booker] This kid is incredible, to pull something off like that.
Because, for a minute, I thought he was in dire straits, man.
[crowd cheering and clapping]
[crowd] This is awesome! [clapping]
[Vic] And this is just the opening match of the night.
Wes Lee is willing to risk it all here tonight.
Booker, he wants that opportunity.
He wants that main event spotlight.
He wants to be the number one contender.
[Booker] That kid, Vic…
[Vic] And Lee Being fueled by the NXT universe,
being fueled by a personal journey, being fueled by his dream
and Dragunov, this guy's a machine.
[Booker] No quitting, this kid.
There's no quitting, Ilja Dragunov,
he's a machine, man.
[crowd cheering]
[Vic] And Dragunov, looking for a superplex!
[crowd cheering]
And maybe an exclamation point,
on the evening.
[Dragunov screams]
[Vic] H bomb!
[ref and crowd] One, two!
[Vic laughs]
I'm not laughing.
-I just can't believe what I'm witnessing. -[Booker] Wow!
I can't believe that, Vic.
I cannot believe
Lee kicked out of that big shot.
But here we go.
[Vic] There's no quitting Wes Lee.
[Dragunov screams]
[Vic] But now Dragunov looking
for Torpedo Moscow, entering in-- Lee caught with a knee.
[crowd cheering]
But Dragunov somehow on his feet,
landing in.
Oh!
[Booker] Wow!
[Vic] Dragunov just knocked the heart
out of Wes Lee.
Shoots the half.
[crowd] One, two!
-[Vic] And punches his ticket to No Mercy. -[bell ringing]
-[triumphant music starts] -[Alicia] Here is your winner,
Ilja Dragunov!
[Booker] All those battles.
all those wars finally caught up to Wes Lee.
But what a match, wow.
[Vic] Both superstars battle tested.
You're right.
This was a main event,
anywhere on the world, on any show.
These two brought it.
Dragunov was looking to finish off
-with a Torpedo Moscow. -[groans]
[Vic] Wes Lee had it scouted.
But take a look at Dragunov,
bouncing back to his feet.
And it, bam!
Devastating for the second time in the match up.
Delivering that H bomb.
And then, dead weight.
Wes Lee turned over
for the number one contender,
that being Ilja Dragunov,
who will now face the champ…
[hip-hop music starts]
who isn't too far
to not be found.
These two competed in an Instant Classic this summer.
Dragunov, Hayes, are going to do it again.
September 30 at Bakersfield, at No Mercy.
-[indistinct speech] -[music intensifies]
[Vic] Well, there is the next challenger for Carmelo Hayes.
We saw the challenger in our main event,
but earlier today was also the arrival
of the champion, Tiffany Stratton.
She's getting ready for a massive main event,
here tonight live on NXT.
And we got to take this moment to reset ourselves.
While we're excited for the main event,
we also have to go back and relive these moments, last week.
[hip-hop music ends]
[metal music starts]
[Alicia] Here's your winner,
Ron Breaker!
[Vic] Oh, what the hell?
The match is over, dammit.
What's the meaning of this?
[Booker] Spit it, Vic.
[music intensifies]
That is next level.
[Vic] Brutal.
[Vic screams]
[crowd cheering]
[metal music finishes]
-[crowd chatter] -[indistinct talk]
[man 16] Call some help!
[crowd cheering]
[indistinct talk]
Get out of here!
[ref] Hey!
[indistinct crosstalk]
[man 17] Hey, careful there!
He has a cut in his ear.
[indistinct crosstalk]
Get over here.
[male paramedic 1] One, two, three, go.
[groans]
[man 18] Easy, guys, easy.
[male paramedic 2] Get this blood off these man.
[man 19] Careful.
-[man 20] Keep his neck. -[man 21] I get to see both.
[man 22] Right, let's take his head out this way.
Come this way, so we can take his head.
[indistinct crosstalk]
[indistinct talk]
[male paramedic 3] I got the stretcher to go. Open the door.
[metal rattling]
[ambulance siren]
Vic, Vic,
In all my years, in all my years,
I've never seen anything like that. Ever.
Well, I have to apologize for some remarks
that I made during last week's NXT.
But we have an update on Von Wagner,
and I'd like to read the medical diagnosis.
Following those events of last week,
Von Wagner has been diagnosed with a minor skull fracture.
Von was able to move slightly
at the last moment to take away a full impact.
However, due to his history of brain and skull surgeries,
a timetable for recovery has yet to be determined.
And he's being closely monitored by leading specialists,
and the WWE medical staff.
[crowd chatter]
[metal music starts]
[Vic] This man was sitting with us,
ringside last week and saw those events happen firsthand.
Baron Corbin will address the NXT universe next.
[metal music ends]
[metal music starts]
[Vic] Welcome back to NXT.
[Alicia] Please, welcome
Baron Corbin!
[Vic] You know, Baron Corbin was even…
taken back at those heinous actions
of Bron Breakker on commentary,
last week.
And those heinous actions we were discussing,
also were all the chatter
on social media, over the last week.
[Booker] If you're human, you have to feel something.
Didn't watch that and feel comfortable about anything that happened last week.
[Vic] This is not the same Baron Corbin that we typically see.
[metal music ends]
[crowd cheering]
Look,
normally I come out here,
and you guys don't like me.
And I don't like you.
[crowd booing]
But we get that. We get it.
Tonight is different, however.
Seven days ago, I sat right there,
and I watched something so vicious
that the TV trucks had to cut the feed
to black.
[crowd chatter]
I watched Bron Breakker
literally crush Von Wagner's skull
between those steel stairs.
I don't like Von Wagner, and I'm not going to stand out here
and act like I do.
Von Wagner's entire story, everything with his head,
his skull, and the brain surgeries,
that's all very, very real.
Bron knew that,
and he took advantage of that.
And look, I am no doctor by any means,
but I can assure you Von Wagner will never be the same again.
Now, Bron, I know you're back there,
and you're watching this.
I got something to say to you, so you need to come out here now.
[crowd cheering]
[sirens]
-[sirens stop] -[metal music starts]
[crowd cheering]
[Corbin] All right, all right, Bron.
Bron, that is far enough.
[crowd cheering]
Look,
what you did last week…
[crowd cheering and clapping]
I don't…
[crowd cheering and clapping]
Look, I'm trying to talk to you right now.
And I need you to understand
that what you did last week, I mean…
I don't know how to put it into words.
[crowd chatter]
What you did…
[exclaiming] was freaking awesome, man.
-[crowd cheering] -[Bron] Yeah!
I had no idea. I mean, so stare.
-[Bron] Yeah! -You raised him above your head,
is he going to do it? Is he not?
-And then you freaking did it, man. -Bam!
-My goodness. -It was awesome.
-I've never seen anything like that. -Yeah!
-Amazing. -The ambulances.
-The ambulance. -The sirens.
-That was right. -Yeah.
-That's so cool, right? Idiot!
[crowd chatter]
You really think,
honestly, you really think
I did what I did last week
to gain your approval? What is…
I did what I did
because Von Wagner put me through a table,
so I ended his career!
[crowd cheering and clapping]
I can. I can see it right now.
I close my eyes and I can still…
feel it.
Me,
about to smash
Von Wagner's head with the steel steps.
All the chaos,
the turmoil, the fear,
that it created in this room.
[laughing]
I didn't just like it.
I loved it.
[laughing]
Look, Junior,
I appreciate that you're not afraid to get your hands dirty.
That will take you far and this business.
But I was coming out here to be nice.
I was even going to offer to pay your fine,
but I can clearly see you don't want that.
Bron, you're so angry.
Meaner than evil.
You ended Von Wagner's career.
Wow!
Congratulations.
Thank you.
Why don't you try ending an Olympic gold medalist career
at WrestleMania?
Then taking another Olympic gold medalist
and ending his career,
before it ever gets started.
[clapping]
You want to talk about evil?
I've stood toe to toe with The Undertaker
at Madison Square Garden.
[crowd cheering]
I fought Roman Reigns.
-Okay. -All right,
I don't care about your accomplishments.
-I don't. -Look,
what I'm trying to tell you is there are levels
and I am on a higher level than you.
You should want my respect,
instead you spit on it.
I don't care about your respect. I don't need it. I don't want it.
You listen to me.
There's only one thing left for us to do.
Me versus you.
No Mercy.
[crowd cheering]
Do yourself a favor.
Over these next three weeks,
call your family,
call your friends, your loved ones.
Because you're going to leave the building that night
the same way Von Wagner left last week.
[crowd cheering]
You have a lot to learn.
Number one. I'm not Vaughn.
[crowd cheering]
[crowd chatter]
[groans]
[crowd cheering]
[Vic] Book, we finally have some help out here,
but who will want to see these two collide
at No Mercy?
[indistinct crosstalk]
[Bron] Bare with me!
[steps]
All right, boys, it's time. [clapping]
All right. [sighs]
You ready to roll, brother?
-I am. -Let's do it.
[Henley] Go, Brooks.
[Vic] It took a second to get Bron and Baron separated,
but we're set for a tag team match.
[bell ringing]
[Alicia] The following contest is a six man tag team match,
scheduled for one fall.
Accompanied by Fallon Henley,
the team of Myles Borne,
Josh Briggs and Brooks Jensen.
[Vic] This is a feel good story.
Borne has been waiting for this.
His first match, he just needed someone to believe in him.
-Fallon Henley did. -[Booker] That's the problem with rookies.
They don't want to wait. It's like instant coffee.
They want it right now, man.
He's got it.
-He's got what he wants. -[Vic] They're not wasting time.
Briggs and Jensen taking it to Damon Kemp.
Look at Briggs and now Jensen, tying him up as well.
Dempsey trying to get him some as well.
No loved ones between any of these superstars.
[Booker] I like Briggs and Jensen. They check off every box.
But maybe working their outfits or something like that.
-Maybe that's-- -[Vic] Outfit?
[Booker] But you would.
You like to cut your Western look.
[Vic] Messy cowboy boots, that Jensen's got on.
Jensen and Briggs are leaders of the locker room.
What do they need to do to get back on track?
[Booker] They need to stay focused. I mean,
they have talent.
That's not the problem.
I mean, the one thing in this business
you got to be laser focused,
if you're talking about winning gold.
[Vic] Like a former champion in WWE.
And the trio of Gulak, Dempsey and Kemp,
three individuals who love to train,
love to push their limits.
And Jensen, Briggs, and Myles Borne, they love to fight.
[Booker] I'm going tell you right now, Damon Kemp has the right idea,
because if you want to be the best, you gotta train with the best.
-And Gulak and Dempsey, they're on track. -[Vic] Oh! Oh!
[Vic] Gulak on track to get dumped to the outside.
-Dempsey caught an elbow. -[Briggs screams]
[Vic] [laughs] Briggs flying through the air. Borne tagging in.
[Booker] Here comes this rookie, Myles Borne.
[Vic] Nice neck breaker.
[Booker] He's been working on that. He got it in.
[Vic] Borne laser poke. For Myles Borne,
he's seeing three guys, that we call it pushing.
-They yelled at him. -[Booker] Yes.
[Vic] They told him to do this.
Why do they need to feel like they had to initiate Myles Borne?
[Booker] Because he's a rookie.
He should be packing bags.
He should be getting Gatorade, stuff like that.
[Vic] Well, this match up is starting to break down.
And the pace of this match up has been very quick--
[Booker] Oh!
[Vic] As quick as that spinning heel kick between the eyes covering.
Gulag and Dempsey breaking the count up.
And now all six superstars in the ring.
Referees got to get some sort of control.
[wrestlers groan]
[Vic] Henley on the outside, she's looking around,
Picking up right where we left off, with Corbin.
And break.
[Booker] Oh, yes. It's a fight. I love a fight.
[wrestlers groan]
[Vic] Borne was able to get Henley out of the way.
-A flying Damon Kent. -[Booker] See that?
[Vic] I see six superstars on the outside, slugging it out.
-[Booker] That's what-- -[Vic] Wait! What?
[wrestlers groan]
[Vic] Myles Borne just swung Jensen
right into the post. And now Kemp,
picking up the scraps
into the cover.
Wait a minute!
-[Booker] Smarter than I thought. -[bell ringing]
[rock music starts]
[Alicia] Here are your winners. The team of
Duke Gulak, Charlie Dempsey
and Damon Kemp!
[Booker] Oh, hell, Vic.
This kid's got the goods.
-[Booker] I like Myles now. -[Vic] Now you come around.
[Vic] I feel bad for Fallon Henley,
whose soul just crumbled, like Aaron Rodgers
with the actions of Myles Borne.
-[indistinct talk] -[rock music ends]
[triumphant music starts]
[bell ringing]
All right, everyone. Class dismissed.
Make sure you watch Becky and Tiffany tonight and take notes.
I'm off to the Global Heritage Invitational watch party.
[teacher] Hey, Duke, wait up.
Did you see Thea last week?
-I'm really worried about her. -Oh, yeah.
-She's in the terrible twenties. -I haven't heard from her.
Before you go to the party, do you think maybe you could reach out?
Say no more, Mr. Chase.
Thea keeps calling us besties, which I think means best friends.
So we actually share locate.
Oh.
What?
[suspenseful music]
She's turned it off.
She did? [sighs]
I'm sorry, Mr. Chase.
I tried.
I really don't know what's gotten into her.
[sighs]
-[whirring] -[mellow music]
[woman 1] Thea, are you okay?
-I am now. -Okay, good.
Because I think
those guys over there are eyeing us.
They have eyes. That's what they do.
Yeah, I mean, more like they're about to come talk to us.
I mean, like right now? Like they're gonna come talk to us.
Like boys are gonna come up.
Five, four, three,
two…
Jacy, how was your weekend?
It was pretty good.
-Me and Thea went out. -Yeah.
-Right? Good. -Yeah.
So you went out? What you do?
-It was my birthday, Jacey took me out. -[laughs]
Did you stay up past your bedtime? [laughs]
Did you have to wear your Chase U shirt?
And did you have to get permission from Mr. Chase?
Jacy, I didn't take you on to hang out with little girls.
[men laughing]
[Jacy laughing and mocking]
-Don't talk to her like that. -[rock music starts]
[yelling] I'm a grown ass woman. I don't need permission.
[groans]
[screaming]
[groans]
[Thea] Get out of here!
[indistinct talk]
So beautiful. Yeah. Damn!
Jacy, I don't want to look like this anymore.
Next week, we're going shopping.
-Okay, I got you. -[rock music ends]
-Come on. So proud of you, -[metal music starts]
[Vic] Ms. Thea Hail, did she chase you?
[bell ringing]
[Alicia] The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
Introducing first, accompanied by Kelani Jordan,
Dana Brooke!
[Vic] Dana Brooke in action. One on one with Lyra Valkyria,
next live on NXT.
[metal music ends]
[Vic] We are back live on NXT.
[ominous music starts]
[Alicia] Introducing her opponent,
Lyra Valkyria!
[Vic] And Booker, this superstar once again is looking to soar
on Tuesday night.
[Booker] Somebody looking for a breakout.
I love the attitude of Lyra Valkyria,
since day 100 hadn't been about BBFs or BFFs.
-Is that it? -[Vic] What?
[Booker] That is best friends, it wasn't about that.
-[Vic] Are you saying we're friends? -[Booker] No, no.
-[Vic] Is that what you said? -[Booker] Talking about Valkyria.
She's all about business.
She wants to get to the top
in this business
and I respect that.
[Vic] When it comes to Dana Brooke,
you respect the attitude change,
-she said recently? -[Booker] Beautiful.
[Vic] You said you respect the attitude.
[Booker] Dana Brooke debuted back in 2013.
and the sand in the hourglass is running out.
You can't be nice in this business.
You know what? Nice guys finish last.
Whoa!
[crowd cheering]
[Vic] What a match up this is going to be.
We talk about Dana Brooke.
And I see Kelani Jordan.
I mean, Dana has showed some insecurities.
Even more so last week,
when Lyra was just trying to talk to Jordan.
Valkyria was trying to drive a wedge.
[Booker] I wouldn't say that. But Brooke knows the spot
that Kelani Jordan did.
she doesn't want her to end up in the same spot that she's in.
-[Booker] Oh! -[Vic] Oh, my word.
[Booker] Having to start all over and regroup.
You don't want that, Victor.
[crowd cheering]
[Vic] Well, we talked about Valkyria wanting to soar.
But you just saw the look on the face of Dana Brooke,
who's ready to roar.
Into a cover and a kick out by Valkyria.
You know, when it comes to Dana is…
I hate to use this phrase, but is professional jealousy
starting to get to her. A lot of the hype surrounding Kelani Jordan.
Into the cover goes Brooke. Hook to the leg.
-And a kick out. -[Booker] I would call it jealousy.
Dana Brooke debuted back in 2013,
right here in NXT.
She knows exactly what, you know, this business is all about.
But making it to the top, that's another.
You got to put some dirt on you, Vic.
That's what Dana Brook is right now.
-[Vic] Valkyria trying to create some separation, but cannot.
As Brooke staying right on top of the action,
what a night we've had thus far. How about a huge main event?
Still to come, Tiffany Stratton, Becky lynch for the NXT women's title.
[Booker] And what a main event is going to be, Victor.
I cannot wait.
[crowd cheering]
[Booker] Look at the top.
[Vic] They're voicing their opinion,
as the NXT Universe always does. Brings the energy each and every Tuesday.
And Valkyria beating off--
[Booker] What has Brooke done to these people?
I mean, nothing at all. That's…
That's what I don't like about, you know, the Internet these days.
Everybody wants to jump on the bandwagon.
[Vic] When it comes to Lyra Valkyria,
she has always been herself, true to herself,
Not in her DNA to be deceitful, which is what I think got under her skin,
when Dana Brooke thought
that Lyra was trying to come between her
-and Kelani Jordan -[Booker] Let me tell you.
Lyra Valkyria showed up in December. She's been nothing but business.
It's not about making friends.
It's about going out there and getting the W90 in and night out.
Moving up the rankings here in NXT,
trying to get that championship
around that waistline. Yes!
[Vic] Northern Lights suplex. Nice block.
And Brooke, tonight, she may have no one to blame but herself,
for her poor attitude last week.
[Booker] I can tell you this, Brooke came in tonight with a game.
Right now, she's doing everything right.
I mean everything.
Oh! Wait a minute.
[Vic] So right there is now, big kick!
-[Booker] Good God! -[Vic] From Valkyria.
And all Kelani Jordan can do
is look up and watch.
[Booker] Kelani, have you learned anything?
[Vic] Valkyria looking to fly!
Big splash then for Valkyria,
-a big win in NXT. -[bell ringing]
[ominous music starts]
[Alicia] Here is your winner,
Lyra Valkyria.
[Lyra] Yes!
[Vic] In that rage, that jealousy.
I can only imagine what it's doing right now
to Dana Brooke,
as it was high risk.
-All reward for Lyra Valkyria. -[bell ringing]
And she got the three in front of Kelani Jordan.
And Jordan now,
in the ring, too.
[Brooke] What?
[Vic] This is the same sort of interaction that we saw last week on NXT.
What a breakout moment
-for Valkyria here today. Whoa. -[Brooke screams]
[Vic] Lani Jordan trying to get Dana Brooke under control.
Breakout moment tonight.
The rest of the women's locker room also looking to break out
[music ends]
[pop music starts]
[pop music ends]
Exciting news.
The women's breakout tournament is coming soon.
But Eddy, the last time we saw you,
you were fired up about Dijak.
Have you had a chance to cool down?
It's pretty difficult when you're dealing with a snake like Dijak.
If it's not the ring post, it's his belt wrapped around his fist.
I'm getting tired of the way this guy's been moving.
He can't get past me without a little of something extra.
So I'm not gonna let this go. I have to prepare for--
Hey, Eddy.
I came out here looking for you, man.
This is where you go after you eat a loss, right? [laughs]
What happened?
Did the spirit stop guiding you
after they realized that you dropped too straight?
-Maybe the rituals, ceremonies, -[thunder rumbling]
and fairy tales don't really work in the first place.
Come on, Eddy.
You need to really engage your viciousness,
your wild side.
Because right now,
I'm marking your territory.
[screaming] Yes, yes, yes!
[Dijak] Yeah! [laughs]
[seething]
Mackenzie, we can pick this up another time.
[Vic] Well, it's time to talk about the Global Heritage Invitational.
Group A, Group B.
The standings updated for Group B as Joe Coffey earned two points,
beating Tozawa on Level Up,
this past Friday.
Streaming on Peacock, and Book,
it is time for some Group A action.
Here live tonight on NXT.
[funk music starts]
[bell ringing]
[Alicia] The following is a Group A Global Heritage Invitational match.
Introducing first, Tyler Bate.
[Vic] And here's a superstar with his first chance to compete
in the Global Heritage Invitational.
Zero points. He's a little bit behind.
He's Tyler Bate.
But the question becomes,
is that extra advantage in his favor,
or is it extra pressure?
As we see some of these superstars
competing the Global Heritage Invitational.
Filing into the viewing area to watch tonight's action.
And Tyler Bates, first match up in the Invitational.
Can he get on the scoreboard?
It's Bate in action against Axiom.
It's live, it's next.
[funk music ends]
[woman 2] For nearly 10 years, we have asked the WWE Universe
to join us in fighting pediatric cancer and support the superstars of tomorrow.
And you didn't disappoint. You found creative ways
to raise money to fund research.
Running, baking, tailgating,
making art, playing video games.
And this year, we are spotlighting the top fundraisers
-with a chance to meet me. -Or me.
As a thank you for raising funds for research.
[Rhodes] Go to v.org/ConnorsCureUniverse,
to find out more and get started Today.
[Vic] September is Pediatric Cancer Awareness Month.
We are proud to support Connors Cure and the V Foundation,
raising money for critical research.
Tag in to take action
and visit ConnorTheCrusher.org today.
[crowd cheering]
Hey, Melo!
We can't keep running into each other like this.
Dumb.
Hey, way to be creative on solving your championship situation.
What?
Yeah, you know, I had Dragon and Mustafa gunning after me,
and I made them fight it out.
You have Ilja and Wes gunning after you,
so you made them fight it out.
Way to be original.
Listen, man, original is something that you know nothing about.
But last week, didn't you finesse that match with Dragon Lee,
the one man who beat you? Let's talk about it.
Let's talk about how you're gonna be stuck fighting Dragunov in Kali.
The man you can't beat.
Oh, I can't? Okay.
Check the stats, man.
Cause I'm one no against Ilja.
And after No Mercy, we'll see who's still champion.
Cause to be honest with you, Dom,
you're not cut like that.
[crowd cheering]
You said…
this was the A Championship.
you were the A champion.
Now I am the A champion.
Oh, yeah?
When I said I was the A champion,
it meant something completely different than when you say
that you're the A champion. But, that's cool. Next week,
we can go ahead and put that to the test.
What do you say, Dirty Dom?
Talk to mom.
Yeah, you talk to mom.
-Becky Lynch, -[crowd cheering]
welcome back to NXT.
Oh, it feels so good to be home.
Well, over the years, you've racked up an astonishing number of accolades,
but will tonight be the night that you add NXT Women's Champion to the list?
Sure as hell is the plan.
It's wild. Over the last few weeks, I've been reflecting over my time in NXT.
And when I was here, it really was just about surviving.
It was about working harder than anybody else,
so that I could get a seat at the table. Just a little crumb, a little aperitif.
But I don't think anybody for a single second
thought I was championship material.
But here I am, ten years after I started.
Ain't nobody able to doubt me now.
And I'm still as passionate as ever.
More so.
I'm still as hungry as ever. More so.
And so I'm here.
The Man ready to right those wrongs,
and walk out of here tonight, the new NXT women's champion.
[crowd cheering]
-Oh, no. -Are you lost?
Oh, no, I'm not lost.
I'm just here to tell you I don't want you here.
I don't want you as champion.
You're lucky it's not me and you,
because I'd send you back to Raw empty handed.
Okay.
Okay, I'm going to take that as an application
for an ass whooping
when I become the new NXT Women's champion.
Kiana, The Man is coming around to NXT, a whole lot more.
[whispering] That's not good for you.
[Vic] Oh, Booker.
A huge main event still to come tonight,
live on NXT, The Man is back.
[trimphant music starts]
[Alicia] And his opponent,
Axiom!
[Vic] We are set to continue the Global Heritage Invitational
in Group A, here tonight.
And tickets are available now for our next premium live event,
it's NXT No Mercy on Saturday, September 30th,
in Bakersfield, California.
Tickets available at axs.com.
And, well, Booker,
if one of these two superstars
can win the Global Heritage Invitational,
they could be facing Noam Dar
for the Heritage Cup
-at No Mercy, two weeks from Saturday. -[Booker] Yeah.
It's a big match up for these young men. Axiom, I've always said--
-[Vic] Oh, my God. What is this? -[Booker] Oh!
-[Vic] Is that an elephant metaphor? -[Booker] I love you see it!
-Did you see it? -[bell ringing]
-[Vic] Like a damn safari. -[Booker] It's amazing.
[Vic] I feel embarrassed for him wearing that.
Let's focus in on the action in the ring.
There is Bate representing England, Axiom representing Spain.
And these two superstars going to take it to one another.
If I check my math, as the shoulders are down for a moment,
if Tyler Bate who is in his first match up,
if he's able to win two of his three next matches,
he then could win Group A.
So to that point,
is Bate with an extra advantage, or with added pressure?
Into a cover and--
[Booker] He's got a lot of pressure on him.
Because you got to get some points on the board, man.
But coming into this match,
he's coming off a big win of 300 plus pounds, six foot, nine inch,
Dabba-Kato.
And that tells me, this kid can rule all the way
to that number one spot.
And oh, yes, wind up in Bakersfield.
[Vic] Axiom in firm control right now
of Tyler Bate trying to keep Bate grounded.
[crowd cheering]
[Vic] We saw them earlier.
The viewing area has been filling up for those superstars
that have been watching this Global Heritage Invitational.
Other superstars that are in this.
Take a look at Butch, sitting in the front row.
Axiom and Butch went to a time limit draw.
Really threw a wrench into Group A last week.
[Booker] Anytime you get a draw, that's a setback, Vic.
Just all the time you put in the pressure,
you put on yourself trying to win that match. Ooh!
[Vic] Counters for counters here.
Right back in goes Tyler Bate, who's is in action here tonight.
He's going to face Charlie at MC Friday on Level up,
which of course is streaming exclusively on Peacock following Smack Down.
And looks like this might be getting turned up a notch.
Little Bop and Bank, counter!
[crowd cheering]
Now I question if Dar is taking this seriously, but we know
all these superstars are.
[Booker] You think?
-I don't -[Vic] He's riding a damn elephant.
You think he's taking it seriously?
-[Booker] Ten to fifteen. Wow! -[Vic] Whoa!
[crowd cheering]
-[Booker] God! -[Vic] Axiom taking it
to Tyler Bate. Axiom does not want another draw.
Axiom wants some points.
He wants to win this match.
He needs to beat Bate,
-[ref] Two! -[Vic] tonight.
[Booker] It's not a warn tonight.
Axiom needs this more than anything, Vic.
[Vic] If he can win his next match up,
he could find himself with five points.
That would give him the best chance to head to No Mercy.
With one point on the board. Looking for two here tonight.
-Nice counter. And there-- -[Booker] Oh…
[Vic] The big. The strong.
The big strong boy.
[Booker] That's where the strength coming to play with Tyler Bate.
I didn't give his kid enough credit in the beginning, but he is.
He is that strong, Victor.
[Vic] Tyler Bate. Around and round he goes.
Where would it end? Only Tyler Bate knows.
[crowd cheering]
Bates gotta try to regroup himself.
Get back focused.
As Axiom wisely rolling to the outside.
Who is going to earn some points,
here tonight?
[crowd cheering]
[Vic] Global Heritage Invitational, Group A action live here on NXT.
And Axiom going for broke.
He tweaked his knee, during the commercial break.
He's trying to fight through the pain.
These two have respect
for one another and they're bringing out the best tonight.
[Booker] I love the spirit of competition.
You know why you say something like that?
[Vic] He always argued me every time I bring it up. Now, these two cruising.
Oh, nice counter. It's waiting for submission!
Looking for two points. Trying to wear down Bate.
This is Bate's first match.
He does not want to fall behind,
even though he'll face Charlie at MC this--
Friday live on Level Up.
Trying to stay on his feet as Axiom swinging him, Bate right back in.
-[Booker] Yeah, but Axiom got a-- -[Vic] Oh!
[Booker] A huge power bomb there by Tyler Bate.
[Vic] I hope that Noam Dar is looking on from his personal safari
at what sort of action taking place. And a big right.
Could've knocked down Axiom.
[Booker] A right hand. That was a slugger.
Right there, Axiom. Right now, he's feeling it. Oh!
-[Booker] Whoa! -[Vic] Oh!
[crowd cheering]
[Vic] Big Spanish fly. Both superstars.
[crowd cheering]
And there, of course, the personal safari for Noam Dar.
And there, the viewing area,
with some of the other competitors
in this Global Heritage Invitational.
What a match up.
What a night this has been thus far.
-[crowd cheering] -[Vic mumbling]
[Vic] That's your guy.
[Booker] Why are you saying that? You see this guy,
ten to 15 minutes a week. You say he's not prepared.
What makes you think this guy is not prepared the rest of the week?
[Vic] I don't know if he is prepared for Axiom, who's been able
to counter Bate a few times.
Tyler Bate, if he taps, Axiom will gain two points.
Bate trying his best to fight free.
[Booker] Axiom got the legs locked in.
Now, Tyler Bates is in trouble.
in the middle of that square circle.
[Vic] I imagine how demoralizing it was last week for Axiom,
to battle to a time limit draw.
But once again,
-[Vic] Tyler Bate battling through. -[Booker] Wow!
[Bates groaning]
[Vic] And Bate taking Axiom for a spin,
For the second time tonight.
[crowd cheering]
[Vic] Axiom Poison Rana!
[Booker] Good God, man, he's out. He's out.
Axiom just needs to cover him.
He's got a three count here.
[Vic] Axiom realizes the mistakes he made last week.
-[Vic] The brave buster. -[Booker] Big mistakes.
Getting this man up to his feet.
[Vic] Bate into the cover, and no!
Axiom just able to kick out.
Take another look.
-These two knew each other, -[Booker] [indistinct]
[Vic] very well.
Axiom couldn't cover.
Bate was able to counter.
But Axiom was still able to kick out at the last moment.
And Axiom right back in on Tyler Bate.
Where are these two getting this adrenaline from?
[Booker] Vic, this Heritage Cup
make you go out there and work to the hardest, Vic.
Makes you go out there and go to that degree, Vic.
This is it.
-[Booker] Oh, yeah! -[Vic] Super Spanish fly,
to punch in two points.
-[Vic] And kicked out quickly. -[Booker] Oh!
[Vic] No time to laugh.
Transitioning into another submission, to lock down Tyler Bate.
Bate able to roll through. Look at Axiom,
trying to counter.
Gets overpowered and planted.
-[Booker] Oh… -[Vic] Counter, counter!
-[crowd] One! -[Vic] Bate able to roll back through.
Look at Tyler Bate.
Rolled right in to a Tyler Driver.
Ninety-seven. Countered one more time.
Bate! Boing!
[Booker laughing]
[Vic] There's not a bop, there's not a bang.
-There's a Tyler Driver 97-- -[Booker] That's it.
[Vic] For Tyler Bate,
who gets two points,
-[Vic] Here tonight. -[Booker] Wow.
[crowd cheering]
[Alicia] Here is your winner,
Tyler Bate!
[Vic] The winner of Group A faces the winner of group B
in two weeks, here on NXT. And the winner
of the global Heritage Invitational heads to No Mercy
to face Noam Dar for the Heritage Cup in Bakersfield,
on Saturday, September 30th.
But a big win for Tyler Bate,
as he gets on the points, he gets on the board for the first time,
in his first match.
And you can see how that Group A plays out.
Bate will face Dempsey again this Friday
on Level Up,
streaming exclusively on Peacock.
[funk music]
Next week, you take on Tyler Bate
in a match that could decide who wins for Bay.
What's your reaction,
knowing you'll be facing your longtime rival?
-[music ends] -Everybody knows
that me and Tyler go way back.
The finals of the UK Championship tournament,
the 2017 match of the year
at TakeOver Chicago.
We even had our tryout match together.
And I'll go one further. Tyler's first ever match,
at 15 years old,
I was the opponent.
But I'm not here
to reminisce.
I'm back in NXT
to prove that I'm the baddest man
in all of WWE.
And nobody brings out the bruiser in me,
more than you, Tyler.
So may the best man win. But you already know
that next week,
it's fight night.
[crowd cheering]
[Vic] History in the ring next week,
but the biggest match
in Tiffany Stratton's career is moments away.
Can she stay at the tippy top
or is Tiffy's time up?
[triumphant music starts]
[bell ringing]
[Alicia] The following contest is a tag team match,
scheduled for one fall.
Introducing first,
accompanied by Ivy Nile,
Julius and Brutus, The Creed Brothers.
[Vic] NXT universe fired up
for The Creed Brothers,
who were reinstated several weeks ago.
They are back in action here tonight.
Smile on the face of Ivy Nile,
as The Creed Brothers are in tag team action
against Blade and Enofé, live next.
[triumphant music ends]
[suspenseful music starts]
[man sighs]
Ava, your loyalty is comforting,
but it's clear in the light of day, that our tree is dying
Four roots turned to two, but there's still room.
-No. -Ro--
This tree is rotten.
It has withered away.
Now we stand all alone,
more isolated than ever before.
[Ava sighs]
[music intensifies]
[suspenseful music ends]
[man 23] What are you watching?
-Joe Gates. -Eh?
He and Ava are talking about being alone.
Get some strange cats, but…
I can relate.
What do you mean?
You're not alone, bro.
Yeah, I know, I know.
-You know I always got your back? -Yeah, definitely.
Anyway, man, you see, I got Dom next week, right?
Hey, I seen that.
Champ on champ. Let's talk about it.
Look, man, Judgment Day.
Always on that funny stuff. So I was thinking,
"Hey, maybe you need some extra hands out there."
Heat up your boy.
-Hey, just like the good old days, man. -[sighs]
-I feel you. I feel you. -Yeah.
But you know what? I'm all set, man. I got this. I'm good. But listen,
hey, man, hey, listen.
You say you want to do your own thing,
and I respect that.
-So I'm gonna let you do your thing. -I said that,
but I didn't mean it like that.
I mean, I'll just…
Hey, look, man, outside these walls,
-[thud] -we're boys.
-Yeah. -Right?
-Right. -Yeah.
-It's Trick Melo Gang. Come on, man. -Dang!
What's up?
[laughing]
Yeah! [laughing]
We're always going to be here.
Yes, sir.
-I know. -Yeah.
[thud]
[clicking]
[clacking]
[crowd cheering]
[thud]
[amusing music starts]
[Vic] That was a lot to digest.
Wes Lee [indistinct]
in the locker?
[Alicia] Introducing the team of Malik Blade
and Edris Enofé.
[Vic] That threw me for a loop.
We try to refocus ourselves for this tag team contest.
And look, Enofé and Blade--
[Booker] Why is Enofé dressed like Prince tonight?
Can somebody tell me,
what the hell is going on?
[Vic] Well, they said their time has come in NXT.
Maybe this is part of their motivation.
Why are you so tough on these guys, by the way?
Why are you so tough on these boys?
-[Booker] [indistinct] -[Vic] They didn't come down.
-Hot candy wardrobe. -[bell ringing]
[Booker] Two talented brothers.
You know what I mean?
They're young, Vic.
They just gotta mature.
They need guidance. Maybe that's it.
-[Vic] Oh, yeah! -[Booker] Yeah!
[Vic] There's a bit spring in an off step tonight.
Looking for the upset in Julius Creed.
Just able to kick out.
What's the saying that Coach Prime says?
You dress good, you feel good?
[Booker] Whoa. I'm talking about dress. Talking about [indistinct].
[Vic] Angel and Humberto. Haven't seen them in weeks.
Making their presence felt here,
for this tag team contest.
-[Vic] The Creeds are-- -[Booker] Oh!
[Vic] Better than ever.
Do you agree with the Creed's, that it's time to take care of business,
as Big Bro checks in?
[Booker] I love everything about the team.
These guys are going to be a generational tag team.
They're going to win the titles.
[Vic] Receiving the cover, hook to the leg, Enofé!
-[Booker] Oh, man! -[Vic] A fall.
[Booker] High praise for the Creed, they're brutal.
The strength on this show.
-[Vic] Ooh! -[Booker] Oh, yes.
[Vic] The Creeds last week invited the entire tag team division
to the dojo.
And Brutus just hit a standing moonsault, followed by a centaur,
into another cover. There's Blade.
[Booker] There you go, Blade!
Get you some champagne wishes and caviar. Dream time.
[Vic] The family's also interested in this match up.
Stacks' D'Angelo.
The tag team champions here in NXT.
Understand business is business.
I want to talk about an offhand Blade for a moment,
because they said last week,
the Creeds back doesn't mean they get to jump
into the front of the line for the tag team titles.
-[Booker] I mean-- -[Vic] Big high cross!
[Booker] I get that. But what have Blade and Enofé done
for me lately, Vic,
to make a statement like that? Okay?
[Vic] They're trying to prove that.
Maybe it's not just about flashy attire. And, oh!
It's about getting it done in the ring.
Enofé, Blade!
Looking for the offset.
-[Vic] Brutus able to kick out. -[Booker laughs]
You got to earn that shot at a championship.
You don't just slip on a banana.
[Vic] Wait a minute! Speaking of champions,
breaking news
after what we just witnessed.
Hayes, Mysterio,
next week live.
Champion versus champion. They're going to prove the best.
[Booker] You know what that means, Mommy made the deal, man.
Oh, yes!
[Vic] Might sit in the safari with Dar. Has an off fake taking it right to Brutus.
Let's go!
[indistinct chatter]
[Booker] Just the attitude. Just the attitude,
I'm talking about, just the attitude.
Maybe it's the dress,
maybe it's the new attire.
That's Blade. [laughing]
That's Blade.
[Vic] First time we've seen this sort of aggression, this sense
of urgency from Blade, and no!
No, man!
Just got sent to a different dimension from Brutus.
[Booker] That's too long, bro.
[Vic] Brutus, Julius proclaimed there was no more joking around.
They eyed up the tag team titles.
Looking for the victory. So is in offhand, Blade.
This is how important these matches are
in determining the next contenders,
for those tag teams championships.
[Booker] You don't want to get into a wrestling match
with these two guys, Victor. They're internationally known-- Oh, yes!
[Vic] And lovingly respected.
Julius Creed.
That right hand will stop just in anybody.
But maybe not Julius.
We know what's next for the Creeds.
Oh, Julius, coming right over, saw Blade.
-[Vic] And Blade got caught. -[Booker] Oh…
Look at this young man, Vic.
[Vic] And now Julius,
-looking to drop. -[crowd cheering]
-[Booker] Wow. -[Vic] Brutus, for the Brutus Ball!
[Booker] [laughing] Get that!
[Vic] Into the cover.
-And The Creeds rack up another W. -[bell ringing]
[triumphant music starts]
[Alicia] Here are your winners, The Creed Brothers.
[Vic] With everyone looking on,
all those that stepped into the dojo.
Would The Creeds bring it tonight?
The answer was yes.
And now take a look.
Angel, Humberto, they want some of The Creeds.
[Tank] Ninety. Keep working. Come on.
[Vic] Hank and Tank want some of The Creeds.
The tag team division firing on all cylinders.
[Booker] Oh…
My boys right there.
They're my boys.
-I got my big boys right there. -[crosstalk]
[Vic] Tag team division breaking down,
as the Creeds stand top,
here tonight live on NXT.
[Brutus] We're not going anywhere. Are you afraid of her?
Okay, you'll find out.
-[crowd cheering] -[triumphant music ends]
A-ha! Sorry!
It's so good to see you.
-How you doing? -Likewise. Here.
-Congratulations on your victory tonight. -Thanks.
You're making everybody at home proud.
Becky,
do me a favor, please.
-Go win that Women's Championship. -I'll do my best.
Hey, you keep killing the game.
-I'm going to get taped up. -All right, see ya.
[Vic] Huge main event to come.
but we saw Tyler Bate earn two points in Group A.
Who will earn a victory and some points
on the Group B side of things?
It's Frazer, it's Tozawa.
It's the continuation of the Global Heritage Invitational,
next on NXT.
Guys, this breakout tournament is a huge opportunity for all of you.
Winning it last year changed my life.
And everything just took off after that.
Iron Survivor, tag champ,
-NXT Women's Champion. -It was a competitive field.
-It was. -Yeah.
I mean, Tiffany, Nikita, Fallon was in it.
-Kiana. -Yeah, my best friend.
I eliminated her in the first round.
She's never been nice to me after that.
Yeah, we couldn't tell after last week.
[laughs]
I just call her out of her crap
-and when she can't get around-- -[indistinct]
Ah, yeah.
What is this idea about you causing issues in the locker room?
-I'm the one causing issues? -Sounds like it.
Look, Lola,
I know you're new here,
but since your mom over here didn't give you the memo,
chaos is inevitable here.
-So if you two want to come at me-- -You better back off.
Because if you're looking for trouble, you just found it.
Oh, did I? Hmm?
[speaking Spanish]
-Cause I ain't gonna be like you. -Mama,
this little attitude of yours is going to get you in trouble real quick.
I don't mind.
[speaking Spanish]
After I'm done with you,
you'll mind.
And then I'll enter the breakout tournament.
I'm going to win that, too.
Let's go.
[crowd cheering]
Bye.
[Vic] Well, this is official.
These two need to be separated earlier.
Nothing will separate them in Bakersfield.
Will Corbin burn down Bron's ship?
Or will Breaker again show why he is meaner than evil?
Brawn-Baron.
Two weeks from Saturday at No Mercy.
We started learning that Dragunov will have another opportunity
to achieve his destiny.
As Carmelo Hayes looks to prove
he can beat Dragunov.
The rematch the Universe has waited takes place at No Mercy for the NXT title.
Ali earned what he's been fighting for, a one on one opportunity
at Mysterio and the North American Championship.
Can Ali give the NXT Universe a champion to be proud of?
Or will Dirty Dom be up to his dirty tricks
at No Mercy?
And Dar will defend the Heritage Cup in Bakersfield,
against the winner of the Global Heritage Invitational,
which continues right now on NXT.
[metal music starts]
♪ Never slow down ♪
[bell ringing]
[Alicia] The following is a Group B,
Global Heritage Invitational match.
Introducing first,
Nathan Frazer!
[Vic] He was able to earn, Nathan Frazer, two points
with a win over Hudson last week.
But again, this is a must-win situation
-for the former Heritage Cup team. -[Booker] Yes. That win over Hudson
-was signature too, Victor. -[metal music ends]
[upbeat music starts]
[Alicia] And his opponent,
-Akira Tozawa! -[Akira screams]
[Vic] Well, it's been tough 24 hours for Tozawa.
Looking to bounce back after a loss
on Raw to The Miz.
Can and he do so here tonight?
As we saw Tyler Bate earlier in action, of course,
metaphor in their personal safari with Noam Dar--
-[Booker] I like it. -[Vic] Looking on.
But for Tozawa, he can play spoiler tonight
by beating Nathan Frazer.
And certainly at some point,
the pride factor steps in for a superstar.
[Booker] About Tozawa, this guy's been around the benches,
[bell ringing]
for quite sometime.
Well versed the mixed martial arts.
We're going to see exactly how this thing play out tonight, Victor.
[Vic] As we see these two facing off,
action continues on Level Up,
streaming on Peacock,
-following Smack Down. -[Booker] Whoa!
[Vic] Dempsey-Bates in group A action continuing,
as Group B action right now,
taking center stage,
as there is the field continuing to look on,
obviously keeping a close eye on the action.
And you see Gallus, you see Joe Coffey.
Another win tonight,
Frazer would be tied
with Joe Coffey, who is in clear control of Group B.
Actually, Coffey defeated Frazer already in this Invitational.
[Booker] If I had to bet money,
I'd definitely going with Frazer,
a guy that I think is more fresh,
at this point in the game, in his career. Oh!
-[Vic] And there is the speed. -[Booker] I'm talking about.
-[Vic] A trademark. -[Booker] What I'm talking about.
[Vic] Did you sense Frazer was pressing
at the start, coming off losing the Heritage Cup?
[Booker] One thing about losing,
you're timid about going out there,
but then you normally get rolling midway
and right now Nathan Frazer, he's rolling, Vic.
[Vic] Able to catch, able to roll through.
Shoulders down in an ear fall.
Again, the winner of group A, Group B meet two weeks from tonight, here on NXT.
-[Booker] Oh! -[Vic] The winner heads to California
for No Mercy,
to face Noam Dar for the Heritage Cup.
-[Tozawa screaming] -[Vic] Oh!
Two weeks from Saturday,
streaming exclusively on Peacock. Look at Tozawa,
glancing for a moment at Noam Dar.
And now sensing this could be his moment.
-[crowd cheering] -[Booker] Yeah, Tozawa.
-[thud] -Big drop kick right there by Tozawa.
The thing-- No, go ahead.
[Vic] The power of Tozawa just rocked Frazer.
And now he goes flying through the air!
-[Booker] You had to get that in. -[Vic] The power of Tozawa!
-[Booker] No, let me hear again. -[Vic] I ain't doing it again.
[Booker laughing]
[Vic] Tozawa in control.
And this is the pride of a superstar.
And what does it tell you about Tozawa?
That doesn't quit, just wants to compete.
[Booker] You can look at Tozawa as a journeyman,
but he has so much yet still left in the tank.
And win tonight
-could catapult him to that magic spot. -[Vic] Getting to the next level.
-[Booker] Yes. -[Vic] And Frazer showcasing at a jolly.
That uncanny ability,
that uncanny balance
to get back to the top.
-[Vic] Superplex! -[Booker] Beautiful. Up.
Double up, double up, one time. Oh, yes.
[Vic] Is this going to be enough for Frazer to earn a victory?
-Yes. Frazer gets two more points. -[bell ringing]
[Alicia] Here is your winner,
-[metal music] -Nathan Frazer!
[Vic] And Frazer needs some help to get to the finals.
Obviously, a win here tonight goes a long way.
But Coffey and Hudson, next week,
he's going to be watching that very closely
to possibly force a three way tie in Group B.
But back to the action.
Frazer out of nowhere. Boom!
Beautiful, off the top.
Nice combination offense.
-and Frazer-- -[bell ringing]
Settling in maybe a little bit,
as this Invitational continues to go.
Frazer has now tied Joe Coffey.
If Coffee wins next week, he's going to be the one to advance.
And Kelly, Kim, Kade standing by
in the viewing area with the leader of Gallus, Joe Coffey.
Joe Coffey, after Nathan Frazer's victory,
your match next week against Duke Hudson is a must-win
to win Group B.
-[music ends] -Kelly,
I've been the odds on favorite,
ever since this Invitational was announced.
And the only person left standing in my way
-is Duke Hudson. -[laughs]
And I'm going to slap him about.
See, once I've done that,
I'm going to top Group B
with a full six points.
Gallus boys on top.
I'm going to go in No Mercy
and I'm going to snatch that NXT Heritage Cup.
Hey, Joe, how are you? Good to see you.
Look, I'm not very good with numbers.
I have one of the charts you students done then for me.
It turns out that with Frazer's win this evening, well,
if I beat you next week,
it'll be a three way tie
in the lead for group B.
So feel free to underestimate the MVP, Duke Hudson, all you like.
But when I beat you next week, I might just have to add another nickname.
What do you think about this?
The spoiler, Duke Hudson.
You like that?
-Yeah. You like that? -[laughs]
Yeah, flocks.
[Vic] High stakes next week.
But it is main event time tonight!
Big time Becks,
looking for a title she has never held.
She is laser focused,
as Tiffany Stratton is preparing
for the biggest match in her career.
NXT Women's Championship on the line live!
[crowd cheering]
Welcome back to NXT.
Mustafa Ali, last week, you became the number one contender
to the NXT North American Champion,
under questionable circumstances.
Oh, Ms. Mitchell, don't undermine my huge victory
over the incredible Dragon Lee.
Did I like how Dom officiated?
No, but there's nothing that I can do.
It's out of my hands.
What about after the match?
You looked at the crowd and you didn't like their reaction.
I mean, they weren't booing me, love.
They were booing Dominik.
Did I get caught up in the moment
of becoming the number one contender? Sure, but,
when I realized that my hand was being raised
by that outsider, that convicted criminal,
I took action.
I dropped him.
And let me be clear that I will be the one to reclaim
-the North American title for all of an-- -Yeah, yeah, yeah.
-[speaking Spanish] -Oh, it is him!
The Incredible Dragon Lee. How are you?
-Did you watch too much? -I watched it like ten times.
Absolutely amazing.
The count was too fast and you know that.
Do you disagree?
Ah, for me to agree or disagree is irrelevant
because it's not going to change anything, okay?
However, at No Mercy,
when I defeat Dom
for you and you and me, and all of NXT,
you will be the one that gets the first title opportunity.
It's only fair.
[crowd cheering]
I'm not done with you.
Wes. Wes. Heartbreaking loss to Ilja Dragunov tonight.
What's next for you?
Ilja was a better man tonight,
plain and simple.
What's next, Wes?
I told myself, if I'm not going to No Mercy,
then I'm going home.
[kissing]
I cleared my locker out.
[whispers] Let's go.
[door rattling]
I'm done.
[rattling]
[women screaming]
-[groaning] -[indistinct chatter]
[woman 3] Yeah, yeah. [groans]
[indistinct crosstalk]
[indistinct screaming]
[indistinct crosstalk]
[Vic] Quite a confrontation, but there was some smack talk earlier,
which led to this confrontation and it's not about titles,
It's about who's the A champion.
Skills will be tested and we're going to find out who is the best.
NXT champion, Carmelo Hayes.
North American champion, Dirty Dom.
One on one next week live.
Also next week.
Roxanne Perez done being pushed around.
She didn't even turn down the challenge from Lola Vice.
She said, let's go.
These two will go one on one,
next week, here on NXT.
And it's Group A, it's Group B.
The Global Heritage Invitational will continue,
as the field starts to separate.
Must-win scenarios take place next Tuesday,
live on NXT.
But the women's world title main event at Raw
and the NXT Women's Championship
is ready to main event now on NXT.
[crowd cheering]
-[metal music starts] -[crowd chanting]
[music continues]
[cheering intensifies]
[Vic] Book, The Man is back!
[Booker] Yes, indeed. And she is off the charts, Vic.
[crowd cheering]
[Vic] And for Becky Lynch,
she is looking for the one title she has never held,
the NXT Women's Championship.
Everyone on their feet.
[crowd] Becky! Becky! Becky!
[Lynch] Whoa!
[music continues]
[Vic] [laughs] This is a different kind of energy we haven't felt,
here on a Tuesday.
[Booker] Yes, indeed. Seth Rollins talked about that energy level when he was here.
And I'm sure Becky Lynch is feeling that same thing,
making her return
to NXT.
-[metal music finishes] -[crowd cheering]
[crowd chanting]
[upbeat music starts]
[camera clicking]
[Stratton] [indistinct]
[Vic] This isn't an understatement.
No doubt, for Tiffany Stratton,
this is her biggest challenge.
It's the biggest match of her career,
because she is going in the ring tonight
with the best in the business, Becky Lynch.
-[Booker] Yes! -[Vic] Is the moment going to be big?
[Booker] Victor, Tiffany Stratton has been under those bright lights,
since she was an Itty Bitty Little girl.
And now it's to the stars.
It's past the moon.
It's straight to the nebula, man.
Oh, yes!
[upbeat music ends]
[bell ringing]
The following contest, scheduled for one fall,
is for the NXT Women's Championship!
[crowd cheering]
Introducing first the challenger,
The Man,
Becky Lynch!
[crowd] Becky! Becky! Becky!
And her opponent,
she is the NXT Women's Champion,
Tiffany Stratton!
[Vic] Stratton is confident as always.
The one thing we cannot take away from the NXT Women's Champion
is that sense of confidence she has about herself.
[Booker] It's about to get Holland in that Cholula Green
up in here tonight, Vic.
Oh, let's do it!
[bell ringing]
[Vic] Here we go. Welcome to the big time!
[crowd] Welcome home! Welcome home!
[Vic] Book, there is no debating.
Becky Lynch's spot in history. Women's champion, Tag champion,
Becky. Two belts. Women's Royal Rumble winner,
won the first women's main event at WrestleMania.
She helped in evolution.
She's a trailblazer.
But the one thing she's never done
is hold the NXT women's title.
[Booker] Yes. Better to shut up. Let me tell you,
it's not going to be easy
taking that strap away
from Tiffany Stratton.
She's good. She's just that good.
[wrestlers groan]
[Vic] Laid down some very bold claims
that she was going to make a bigger name
for herself and she was going to do that
at the expense of Becky Lynch.
[Booker] And I like Stratton, taking the initiative
in this match up tonight.
Not being timid,
or intimidated by Becky Lynch.
Yes, I like that.
[Vic] Stratton showing that ability,
-[Vic] trying to show wild. -[Booker] Oh…
[crowd cheering and clapping]
[Vic] Oh, The Man right back in, and…
Hey!
[crowd cheering]
[Vic] Some athleticism from Lynch. And Lynch coming right in this time.
Catching, dropping,
and now looking for the disarmer.
Trying to make Stratton tap out,
trying to make Stratton submit.
Tiffany fighting her way free, able to break the hold. And look.
[crowd cheering]
[Vic] Did Stratton make some valid points
when comparing herself to Becky Lynch,
at this stage in their careers?
Not to an over defining career, but for Stratton's few years in business.
[Booker] There are similarities. But I'm going to tell you,
Stratton is going to see things in this match up,
tonight, that she has never seen before.
-Trust me on that. -[groans]
[Vic] You said that Stratton used her name in vain,
when Tiffany admitted also that it was a club,
when she mentioned Lynch's name as former NXT Women's Champion.
Back to our point
about some claims
and some valid points
that she made. And what a right from Lynch
answering right back to Stratton.
And Stratton able to stay one step ahead of the challenger in the early stages
of this match up. And oh!
[Booker] One thing about Stratton, she's not lacking confidence
or anything like that.
She definitely believes in herself.
[Vic] Stratton in control. Can Lynch bounce back?
Old Miss is second of the action. NXT Women's Championship online.
[crowd cheering]
-[Vic] Becky Lynch, who keeps receipts, -[crowd cheering]
is delivering some shots to Stratton. NXT Women's title on the line.
Becky Lynch is feeling it right now.
And look, not only is she coming back to win a title,
Becky Lynch is here to put Stratton in her place.
Stratton, though, trying to solidify herself here in NXT.
[Booker] It's about teaching a lesson right here
to the young right here.
And I'm going to tell you,
Stratton, she's holding her own
against one of the best in this business.
You got to give her that. Wow!
[Vic] They are getting into deep water.
Lynch for the championship
and Stratton kicking out at two.
The Man warned Stratton his payback. She would see her sooner.
Bam! Rather than later.
And to your point,
Tiffany Stratton has never backed down
from Becky Lynch,
has never wavered,
and she certainly has brought out a new flair,
-so to speak, in her game. -[Booker] This match is telling me a lot
about Tiffany Stratton.
I'm talking about the game plan.
-I'm talking-- -[Vic] Disarmer! It was counter!
On the line, almost able to retain.
Stratton going right back in.
Lynch looking for the disarmer for the third time.
But, oh, sit down.
Powerbomb cover!
And another near fall.
-[Booker] Sidewalker there,
planted Becky Lynch, right on the pavement.
[Vic] These are the deep waters.
Stratton right now is in there with a different type of superstar.
She can't get frustrated
after near falls, like we just witnessed.
And you saw a moment,
Stratton was thinking, "what do I got to do?"
Now, she could be looking
for the Prettiest Moonsault Ever. It's lit, you had it scouted.
[Booker] That's being one step ahead, that's scouting your opponent, Vic.
[Vic] Lynch right back into Stratton. These two battling it out. Ooh!
And no one home for Lynch as Stratton, now.
These two are going at it tonight.
Oh, for the Women's Championship.
Stratton was upset last night
on Raw. The red carpet wasn't rolled out and she's looking to retain here tonight.
[Booker] Tiffany's looking for that space.
Becky Lynch is not giving her an inch.
Right now, all over over Tiffany Stratton.
[Vic] Can Becky Lynch head back to Raw
-[Vic] as NXT Women's Champion? -[crew] Four, five,
six, seven, eight, nine, ten.
[Vic] She doesn't want to get disqualified. She's bending,
not breaking the rules. Referee in great position.
And now Lynch,
maybe looking for that exclamation point tonight.
Stratton doing her best right now
to counter The Man! Oh, look at this.
Stratton dropped Lynch.
[Booker] Position in that drop zone.
Vic, here we go.
-[Booker] Wow! -[Vic] One time hit perfectly.
Two retaining.
Lynch fights out at two and a half.
[Booker] Beautiful flow!
[Vic] Got to stay composed, Booker.
Got to stay composed.
[crowd cheering]
[Vic] Or Tiffany Stratton at this moment,
this is what you've been alluding to, those big matches,
those big moments,
because Tiffany Stratton is trying
to stay at the tippy top
of the women's division.
-[Booker] Right now, Tiffany can't let frustration set in.
Right now, she's on the verge of getting that big one.
Getting the big one done in grand fashion.
-[Booker] Oh, no! Wow! -[Vic] Nice double under hook.
It did not disarm her, but it's an arm bar.
It's a submission!
Trying to extend the elbow.
Is Stratton going to tap out? NXT Universe is rising!
[Booker] She's going have to tap, Vic.
She's going to have to tap and move quickly.
[Vic] Stratton trying to position herself, trying to get some of the pressure
off her left elbow.
Her left shoulder reaching out.
Trying with the tippy tip of her toe
to counter roll through. And now getting the shoulders down.
Ref trying to get in position. The count.
-[Vic] It's Stratton overpowering. -[Booker] Wow!
[Vic] Becky Lynch with one arm!
And then she gets countered.
What a match up. What a main event!
Shoulders down, near fall.
-[crowd cheering] -[Vic] Whoa!
We knew this was going to be great, excellent.
We knew these two would risk it all,
here tonight.
[Booker] This is the main event of all main events,
-right now. -[Vic] Oh, double stop into the cover.
-[Booker] This is it. -[Vic] To retain, and The Man again.
-Left shoulder up one more time. -[Booker] Oh.
This is our main event, NXT Women's Championship on the line.
Stratton, the NXT Women's Champion,
in the biggest match of her career,
taking on The Man, Becky Lynch,
who has done everything in her career,
except one thing, Booker.
That's NXT Women's Champion.
[Booker] Tiffany needs to move. She just wasted about ten to 15 seconds.
Becky Lynch, you don't want her to get that second move. You don't want.
You don't want that to happen. Here we go!
[Vic] I think Stratton was looking for the manhandle slam.
What a slap in the face that would have been to Lynch,
as now again, Prettiest Moon…
Oh, got countered!
-[Vic] Lynch! -[Booker] Oh!
Russian leg sweep,
-from the top into the cover, it's… -[Booker laughs]
[Vic] I mean, you got to start giving Tiffany
-[Vic] her flowers. -[Booker] What a match.
Stratton is holding on.
One of the best in the world, The Man, Becky Lynch.
[crowd] NXT! NXT! NXT! [clapping]
[Vic] NXT Universe may not admit it,
but they're showing some respect to Stratton.
They're showing the love
that Lynch has earned.
And look at Stratton wisely,
getting right out of dodge.
You got to win. Can't do it on a count out.
Pinfall submission has to take place
inside the ring.
-[Booker] Tells me Tiffany Stratton-- -[Vic] Ooh!
[Booker] She lowered Becky.
-[Vic] Hey! -[Booker] Wait a minute, wait a minute.
This what I'm talking about,
moving the furniture around a little bit.
It's about to get busy, man.
[crowd cheering]
[Vic] And Stratton trying to over, Booker,
trying to power through.
And look at Stratton.
-Look at Becky. -[man in crowd] Oh, my God,
[Vic] Becky!
[crowd cheering]
[woman in crowd] No!
[crowd cheering and clapping]
[Vic] The Man,
[crowd cheering]
[Vic] resting it all!
Right through Stratton,
right in front of us.
And this could be that moment.
There was a different look in the eye of Lynch,
-who hits-- -[Booker] That could be it!
[Vic] Not one, but two.
[crowd cheering]
[Vic] Hold on. That was close.
But Becky enter the disarmer. Looking for the submission.
Looking for the tap.
There's nowhere for Stratton to go.
Look at how the ankle,
how the right foot of Lynch is over that hand.
-[Booker] It's gone. -[Vic] Stratton trying to fight.
-[Vic] Able to break free in her way-- -[Booker] Wow!
[Vic] To the bottom rope,
to break the hold.
And now Stratton overpowering,
with one arm.
Oh. Almost dumping Lynch to the outside.
-[Vic] What a battle. -[Booker] Oh, no!
-[Vic] What a fight. -[Booker] Beautiful setup by Becky Lynch.
[Vic] Lynch one more time,
looking for high risk.
Will it pay off?
Nobody there. Stratton though, charging right back in. Ooh!
Catching Lynch low.
And now this time the power bomb connects.
-[crowd] Two, three! -[Vic] And it is not over.
-[Vic] Wow! -[Booker] Let me tell you. Can I say this?
Tiffany Stratton, she's next level, Vic.
[crowd] Becky! Becky! Becky!
[Vic] After tonight,
like your hater,
can't argue your point, Booker.
But the NXT Universe is trying to rally Becky Lynch in this moment.
[man 23] Go, Becky!
[crowd] This is awesome! [clapping]
This is awesome!
This is awesome! This is awesome!
This is awesome.
[Vic] This is the main event.
It's about the NXT Women's Championship.
-[Stratton] Go home, Becky. -[Lynch groans]
[crowd cheering]
[Vic] This is coming to the big time. Looking for The Man.
Slam counter from behind. Shoulders down. Lynch able to kick out.
Championship hopes alive,
as Stratton overpowers Lynch one more time!
[Booker] Oh, baby! We're going to see it.
-Oh, yeah! -[Vic] Moonsault.
Cat rolling through.
Back to her feet.
Snatch, grab, drop, manhandle, slam!
-[Vic] Cover! -[Booker] No, no, no. Whoa.
-Wow! -[bell ringing]
[Vic] She's done it!
[Alicia] Here is your winner
and new NXT Women's Champion,
[metal music]
The Man,
Becky Lynch!
[Vic] What a moment!
-[music intensifies] -[crowd cheering]
[Vic] For the first time in her career,
her illustrious career,
her hall of fame career,
Becky Lynch has captured the NXT Women's Championship.
Here's some of the action again.
We take nothing away from Stratton.
Tiffany Stratton checked the boxes, here tonight.
Many close call situations for Stratton.
This was right over our head, Book.
Becky lynch soared over us, to go through.
Tiffany Stratton was willing to risk everything, here tonight,
to win the one title, that has eluded her.
But Stratton brought and chose the heart
of a true champion, here tonight.
It didn't work earlier,
it worked this time.
These two would go tit for tat,
back and forth.
Stratton looking for that Prettiest Moonsault Ever.
Didn't connect.
But you know what did Becky Lynch? Bam!
with that manhandle slam to win,
to capture.
-[bell ringing] -[Vic] the NXT Women's Championship.
[Alicia] Here's your winner!
-[crowd cheering] -[music continues]
[Vic] And tonight, wrongs have been made right big time.
Becks is now The Man in NXT.
