1
00:00:01,601 --> 00:00:03,737
[music]

2
00:00:04,337 --> 00:00:05,939
[man] Then.

3
00:00:06,840 --> 00:00:08,208
Woo!

4
00:00:08,274 --> 00:00:10,043
[indistinct]

5
00:00:10,844 --> 00:00:11,544
Now.

6
00:00:12,312 --> 00:00:13,880
[Roman Reigns] Acknowledge me.

7
00:00:14,814 --> 00:00:15,949
[Triple H] The king of kings.

8
00:00:16,015 --> 00:00:17,050
[John Cena] You can't see me.

9
00:00:17,350 --> 00:00:18,118
[man] Forever.

10
00:00:22,856 --> 00:00:23,990
Together.

11
00:00:25,258 --> 00:00:27,093
[music ends]

12
00:00:29,162 --> 00:00:29,829
[man] Next.

13
00:00:32,065 --> 00:00:33,266
[Vic] They did it! They did it!

14
00:00:33,333 --> 00:00:35,935
Chase U now champion!

15
00:00:36,002 --> 00:00:39,105
[man] Breaking news:
Chase U is under investigation.

16
00:00:39,506 --> 00:00:44,310
The scandal rocking the NXT Universe
is this week's top story on NXT.

17
00:00:46,579 --> 00:00:50,350
[press crowd speaking at once]

18
00:00:50,417 --> 00:00:53,686
Listen, I'm fully cooperating
with the ongoing investigation.

19
00:00:54,020 --> 00:00:56,656
Tonight it's just business as usual.

20
00:00:56,723 --> 00:00:59,759
We have a Tag Team Championship match
to prepare for and win.

21
00:01:00,059 --> 00:01:01,428
No further questions.

22
00:01:01,594 --> 00:01:02,629
[press crowd speaking at once]

23
00:01:02,829 --> 00:01:06,032
If [indistinct], make sure you put
NXT Tag Team Champions.

24
00:01:08,001 --> 00:01:10,136
[Vic] The NXT Universe has been rocked.

25
00:01:10,303 --> 00:01:14,607
Much like Chase University campus,
we kick off tonight with gold on the line.

26
00:01:14,908 --> 00:01:16,676
Welcome to NXT.

27
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:24,150
[music]

28
00:01:25,652 --> 00:01:26,653
[Vic] And Booker,

29
00:01:27,187 --> 00:01:31,724
the family looking
to win back the Tag Titles.

30
00:01:32,258 --> 00:01:34,461
They actually might have
the upper hand tonight.

31
00:01:34,527 --> 00:01:36,696
Looks like Andre Chase
hasn't slept all week.

32
00:01:37,864 --> 00:01:38,965
[Booker T] You talk about scandals.

33
00:01:39,933 --> 00:01:44,370
Dawg, we'll talk about that later.

34
00:01:44,437 --> 00:01:45,972
Chill, all right?

35
00:01:46,206 --> 00:01:49,676
[Vic] It's called a hook in the business.
You're hooking the people in, Booker.

36
00:01:49,742 --> 00:01:51,811
Right off the rip of the Tag Team title

37
00:01:51,878 --> 00:01:54,180
on the line tonight.
It's back to family business

38
00:01:54,647 --> 00:01:57,450
for The Don
and the under boss here tonight.

39
00:02:03,490 --> 00:02:06,926
[crowd cheering]

40
00:02:08,027 --> 00:02:12,031
[music]

41
00:02:14,667 --> 00:02:16,803
[Vic] All right, Booker,
let's talk about it.

42
00:02:16,870 --> 00:02:19,739
Rumor has, whatever is going on,

43
00:02:19,806 --> 00:02:23,676
is bigger than what's going on
between Harbaugh and Michigan right now.

44
00:02:24,144 --> 00:02:25,378
[Booker T] Look, man,

45
00:02:25,445 --> 00:02:29,482
you don't convict a man
without due process.

46
00:02:29,549 --> 00:02:32,652
Harbaugh, we don't know
if he is guilty or innocent.

47
00:02:32,719 --> 00:02:34,354
We don't have the prove yet.

48
00:02:34,420 --> 00:02:37,190
-[Vic] I'm talking about Andre Chase!
-[Booker T] That's what I'm talking about.

49
00:02:37,257 --> 00:02:39,526
You don't have any real proof.

50
00:02:39,592 --> 00:02:42,395
[Vic] You see the student section, Booker.

51
00:02:42,462 --> 00:02:45,899
Some shaking their heads,
reading the school newspaper.

52
00:02:45,965 --> 00:02:47,333
[Booker T] Oh, man.

53
00:02:48,902 --> 00:02:51,271
[Vic] It's not the full support
you typically see.

54
00:02:51,337 --> 00:02:53,540
You've got to wonder
about the morale, I guess

55
00:02:53,606 --> 00:02:54,974
[Booker T] We know
about these universities.

56
00:02:55,041 --> 00:02:57,710
It's not the first time
we have seen a scandal.

57
00:02:57,777 --> 00:03:00,914
We don't know if it's paying players,
you know what I mean?

58
00:03:00,980 --> 00:03:03,082
We don't know. We don't know, alright?

59
00:03:03,149 --> 00:03:08,321
So just chill, man.
Mind your business, Vic. Do that for once.

60
00:03:08,521 --> 00:03:13,026
-For once, please. For God's sake, man.
-[Vic] I just asked if you heard a rumor.

61
00:03:13,092 --> 00:03:14,093
[bell ringing]

62
00:03:14,160 --> 00:03:20,600
[female announcer] The following
is for the NXT Tag Team Championship.

63
00:03:21,034 --> 00:03:23,937
Introducing first, the challengers,

64
00:03:24,003 --> 00:03:26,606
the team of Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo

65
00:03:26,673 --> 00:03:32,345
and "The Don of NXT", Tony D'Angelo.

66
00:03:32,712 --> 00:03:35,281
[crowd cheering]

67
00:03:35,348 --> 00:03:38,785
[female announcer] And their opponent,
representing Chase University,

68
00:03:38,851 --> 00:03:44,190
they are the NXT Tag Team champions,

69
00:03:44,257 --> 00:03:48,561
the team of Duke Hudson and Andre Chase!

70
00:03:48,928 --> 00:03:50,230
[crowd booing]

71
00:03:50,296 --> 00:03:52,332
[Vic] Booker, I can't imagine.

72
00:03:54,167 --> 00:03:57,937
I just can't imagine that Andre Chase
is caught up in anything

73
00:03:58,137 --> 00:04:01,007
that would negatively impact
his institution.

74
00:04:02,041 --> 00:04:04,911
[Booker T] Let me tell you something.
He's a man, isn't he?

75
00:04:05,144 --> 00:04:07,247
[Vic] What the heck's
that supposed to mean, Booker?

76
00:04:07,413 --> 00:04:08,681
[Booker T laughs]

77
00:04:08,748 --> 00:04:11,784
[Vic] Let's go on out on a limb here.
Yes, he is a man. Thank you.

78
00:04:11,851 --> 00:04:14,153
-Time to might drop this.
-[Booker T] He can screw it up,

79
00:04:14,220 --> 00:04:15,688
-that's what I mean.
-[Vic] I hear you.

80
00:04:15,755 --> 00:04:18,024
[Booker T] That's what I'm talking about.
He is human, all right?

81
00:04:18,358 --> 00:04:19,492
[crowd chanting]

82
00:04:19,559 --> 00:04:21,127
[Vic] Tag Team title on the line.

83
00:04:21,194 --> 00:04:23,696
Does the family need to go back
to the roots, so to speak?

84
00:04:23,763 --> 00:04:26,466
As we mentioned in the past,
very charitable.

85
00:04:26,532 --> 00:04:27,734
Maybe too charitable.

86
00:04:27,800 --> 00:04:30,803
[Booker T] I always say,
remember where you came, brother.

87
00:04:30,970 --> 00:04:34,207
Those hard, cold streets,
you know what I mean? The way it began.

88
00:04:34,274 --> 00:04:37,910
And my thing is, it wasn't a boss move
getting guys title shots,

89
00:04:37,977 --> 00:04:40,813
Just passing out title shots
like it's candy or something.

90
00:04:40,880 --> 00:04:42,715
That's not my thing, man.

91
00:04:42,782 --> 00:04:45,585
[Vic] Andre Chase in control,
nice counter there by Stacks.

92
00:04:45,652 --> 00:04:47,754
One could argue
Chase wouldn't have the gold

93
00:04:47,820 --> 00:04:49,822
if not for the family and Cody Rhodes.

94
00:04:49,889 --> 00:04:54,994
It was the Diamond Stacks who engineered
that Bada Bing, Bada Boom Battle Royal.

95
00:04:55,061 --> 00:04:59,032
[Booker T] Exactly my point. My thing is,
you gotta go out there and handle business

96
00:04:59,098 --> 00:05:02,235
if you are Tony D. Pass it on, man.

97
00:05:02,301 --> 00:05:03,636
[Vic] Title on the line. Near fall.

98
00:05:03,703 --> 00:05:06,139
[Booker T] Because we know
what kind of man Stacks is.

99
00:05:06,205 --> 00:05:09,242
He is honorable.
He is a natural born leader.

100
00:05:09,308 --> 00:05:10,877
He is not a rat.

101
00:05:11,277 --> 00:05:15,048
[Vic] That's very true.
He has shown his loyalty to the dime

102
00:05:15,114 --> 00:05:16,616
-to the D'Angelo family.
-[Booker T] Beautiful.

103
00:05:16,683 --> 00:05:19,152
-Beautiful drop toe hold there by Stacks.
-[Vic] Stacks rolling right back through.

104
00:05:19,218 --> 00:05:23,690
-Nice power rotation.
-[Booker T] Whoa, whoa, whoa. Wow.

105
00:05:23,756 --> 00:05:25,258
That was close, man.

106
00:05:25,325 --> 00:05:27,960
[Vic] That's as close as you get
without ringing the bell.

107
00:05:28,027 --> 00:05:30,196
A praise there from Corey Graves.

108
00:05:30,263 --> 00:05:33,733
[Booker T] I mean, look at him.
I mean, Andre Chase was all disheveled.

109
00:05:33,800 --> 00:05:35,968
Looks like he ain't taking a shower.

110
00:05:36,035 --> 00:05:39,505
[Vic] I already said that, Booker.
Look at the Chase U student section.

111
00:05:39,572 --> 00:05:40,606
They look disheveled.

112
00:05:40,673 --> 00:05:44,077
They look uninterested
in what Andre Chase is doing right now

113
00:05:44,143 --> 00:05:45,778
in the center of the ring.

114
00:05:45,845 --> 00:05:49,115
[Booker T] That's their leader.
That's their teacher.

115
00:05:49,182 --> 00:05:51,718
That's their mentor.
It says a lot about this guy.

116
00:05:51,784 --> 00:05:55,421
[Vic] Chase didn't realize
that Tony D made the tag

117
00:05:55,488 --> 00:05:57,023
and now he's paying for it.

118
00:05:57,690 --> 00:06:01,060
[Booker T] Tony D, put the gas down, man.

119
00:06:01,127 --> 00:06:03,496
Put the pedal down
and take care of business.

120
00:06:03,563 --> 00:06:06,566
Like I said,
remember where you came from, man.

121
00:06:07,233 --> 00:06:10,136
[Vic] Right now trying to get back
on the offense here is Andre Chase.

122
00:06:10,203 --> 00:06:13,706
Chase U has just been discombobulated
as a tag was made,

123
00:06:13,773 --> 00:06:17,744
and the MVP of Chase U is legal,
but Tony D sniffed it out.

124
00:06:19,779 --> 00:06:22,081
Big right-hand rocking Chase.

125
00:06:24,217 --> 00:06:26,953
[Booker T] Check it out, check it out.

126
00:06:27,019 --> 00:06:29,021
[Vic] Off the big boot
into the cover to retain the titles

127
00:06:29,088 --> 00:06:30,156
and again, near fall.

128
00:06:30,223 --> 00:06:33,359
[Booker T] One thing you can count on
is this big man, Duke Hudson, the MVP,

129
00:06:33,426 --> 00:06:37,897
to go out and take care of business.
He knows how to win championships, Vic.

130
00:06:37,964 --> 00:06:40,166
[Vic] Now,
we're talking about championships,

131
00:06:40,233 --> 00:06:43,236
so how can the champions
be focused with the scandal,

132
00:06:43,302 --> 00:06:45,571
Jacy Jayne, their recruitment process.

133
00:06:45,638 --> 00:06:49,409
Things are not all
as they seem to be for Chase U.

134
00:06:49,475 --> 00:06:51,878
[Booker T] It's going to be hard
to stay focused.

135
00:06:51,944 --> 00:06:53,813
But my thing is,
you stay with the hot man.

136
00:06:53,880 --> 00:06:55,548
The hot man right now is Duke Hudson.

137
00:06:55,615 --> 00:06:57,683
You get him in there,
you keep him in there

138
00:06:57,750 --> 00:07:00,553
as long and as much as you possibly can.

139
00:07:00,620 --> 00:07:02,121
Oh!

140
00:07:02,188 --> 00:07:03,990
[Vic] To your point,
certainly the pendulum has swung

141
00:07:04,056 --> 00:07:06,926
in this match up ever since Duke tagged out

142
00:07:06,993 --> 00:07:10,563
and Andre Chase tagged back in.
Stacks now in control.

143
00:07:11,330 --> 00:07:13,299
Stacks' cousin Corky here from Columbus.

144
00:07:13,366 --> 00:07:14,934
[Booker T] See that blind tag right there?

145
00:07:16,636 --> 00:07:19,338
[Vic] Talking about a blind tag,
barely didn't realize it,

146
00:07:19,405 --> 00:07:21,174
but they certainly are about to right now.

147
00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:24,844
-[Booker T] Double blind tag.
-[Vic] As Hudson overpowering Stacks.

148
00:07:25,178 --> 00:07:29,415
Nasty, gnarly.
The champions are in control.

149
00:07:29,482 --> 00:07:32,485
Quickly turning things around
in this match up.

150
00:07:32,552 --> 00:07:34,954
But it's not pretty,
it's getting very ugly,

151
00:07:35,121 --> 00:07:36,789
it's getting very physical.

152
00:07:36,856 --> 00:07:39,492
Because the Tag Team titles
are on the line.

153
00:07:40,426 --> 00:07:42,228
[Booker T] It's all about the gold, Vic,

154
00:07:42,295 --> 00:07:45,965
and I'm sure Tony V and Stacks
want a piece of the action. Oh, yes!

155
00:07:46,032 --> 00:07:48,067
[Vic] High risk, low reward for Stacks.

156
00:07:48,234 --> 00:07:51,571
Tag team titles on the line
as NXT continues.

157
00:07:51,804 --> 00:07:54,540
Come on, Stacks! Chase, fight!

158
00:07:55,107 --> 00:07:56,576
[crowd clappping]

159
00:07:56,909 --> 00:07:59,011
[Vic] Back on NXT,
Tag Team titles are on the line,

160
00:07:59,078 --> 00:08:01,180
One thing I noticed
throughout the commercial break,

161
00:08:01,247 --> 00:08:05,284
the Chase U student section
did not try to rally behind Duke Hudson.

162
00:08:05,351 --> 00:08:08,421
[Booker T] They know something we don't.
I am sure of that.

163
00:08:08,488 --> 00:08:12,158
Oh! Check out the big man.
Check out the big man.

164
00:08:12,225 --> 00:08:13,926
He's gonna keep tagging
the tag throughout the break.

165
00:08:13,993 --> 00:08:16,429
-He's trying to make a comeback.
-[Vic] Cover, cover, cover.

166
00:08:16,596 --> 00:08:18,831
Stacks able to kick out.
You said, "check out the big man,"

167
00:08:18,898 --> 00:08:21,334
but I also am checking out
that some members

168
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:27,073
of the Chase U student section are
getting up and walking out, Booker.

169
00:08:27,139 --> 00:08:28,541
Look, look at this!

170
00:08:28,608 --> 00:08:32,044
-You talk about a development.
-[Booker T] Yeah.

171
00:08:32,111 --> 00:08:34,914
[Vic] Jacy Jayne even looks
concerned for a moment.

172
00:08:34,981 --> 00:08:37,884
Stacks, hold on to Hudson,
and now Stacks right back on top,

173
00:08:37,950 --> 00:08:39,886
and look for Stacks in the dive.

174
00:08:39,952 --> 00:08:43,089
How does Tony D'Angelo
become "The Don" once again?

175
00:08:43,723 --> 00:08:46,559
[Booker T] I mean,
keep the hammer down, Vic.

176
00:08:46,626 --> 00:08:48,761
Trying to orchestrate a victory here,

177
00:08:49,095 --> 00:08:53,099
and put them back in pitch
and be the Tag Team champs.

178
00:08:53,165 --> 00:08:54,901
That's what it's all about, man.

179
00:08:59,438 --> 00:09:01,974
[Vic] Stacks really risking it here
in this match up.

180
00:09:02,141 --> 00:09:04,343
Because look, the family,
they want the gold back.

181
00:09:04,410 --> 00:09:05,711
Into the cover.

182
00:09:06,612 --> 00:09:08,781
Hudson able to kick out once again.

183
00:09:08,848 --> 00:09:12,385
[Booker T] Duke Hudson's not gonna
be able to do this thing all by himself.

184
00:09:12,451 --> 00:09:14,587
Like I said,
I put a lot of weight on this kid.

185
00:09:14,654 --> 00:09:18,658
But I'm gonna tell you,
Andre Chase need to step up.

186
00:09:18,724 --> 00:09:22,128
[crowd cheering]

187
00:09:22,194 --> 00:09:26,399
[Vic] Andre Chase right now worried
a bit more about the student section

188
00:09:26,465 --> 00:09:28,234
than he is about his own partner.

189
00:09:28,301 --> 00:09:29,669
[Booker T] That's exactly
what I'm talking about, man.

190
00:09:29,735 --> 00:09:33,005
[Vic] A couple of kicks,
trying to rattle the teeth.

191
00:09:33,072 --> 00:09:35,508
Breaks the home tag was made,
Stacks is legal.

192
00:09:35,574 --> 00:09:37,243
In comes Andre Chase.

193
00:09:37,310 --> 00:09:38,511
[crowd cheering]

194
00:09:38,578 --> 00:09:41,247
[Vic] Listen to the NXT Universe.

195
00:09:41,314 --> 00:09:45,284
This scandal is shaking
Chase U to the core.

196
00:09:47,286 --> 00:09:51,557
Andre Chase said he is fully cooperating
with the ongoing investigation.

197
00:09:52,558 --> 00:09:56,629
But he also has to focus
on retaining the Tag Team title.

198
00:09:56,696 --> 00:09:59,832
[Booker T] He's in this match up,
but he's not in this match up.

199
00:09:59,899 --> 00:10:01,968
Know what I'm saying?
He's really not here, Vic.

200
00:10:02,201 --> 00:10:05,004
[Vic] He certainly isn't.
I know exactly what you're saying, Booker.

201
00:10:05,071 --> 00:10:08,074
He's here, but his mind is elsewhere.

202
00:10:08,140 --> 00:10:09,175
[Booker T] Exactly my point.

203
00:10:09,241 --> 00:10:11,644
[Vic] He's on cruise control
at this point,

204
00:10:11,711 --> 00:10:13,713
but he's getting the job done.

205
00:10:13,879 --> 00:10:15,881
[Booker T] Yes. Here we go.

206
00:10:16,215 --> 00:10:19,685
You better do it, son.
You've got to do it quick.

207
00:10:21,587 --> 00:10:24,190
[crowd booing]

208
00:10:24,256 --> 00:10:27,526
[Booker T] They just don't have
the same energy, though, Vic.

209
00:10:27,593 --> 00:10:30,496
[Vic] Andre Chase
trying to rally any sort of support.

210
00:10:30,863 --> 00:10:32,732
High cross-body

211
00:10:33,599 --> 00:10:38,637
for the titles
and still not able to retain.

212
00:10:38,804 --> 00:10:42,108
[Booker T] If Andre Chase would have
just hooked the tights right there,

213
00:10:42,174 --> 00:10:44,377
he probably could have got a victory.

214
00:10:44,443 --> 00:10:46,479
-You gotta read it.
-[Vic] That's not what Andre Chase does.

215
00:10:46,746 --> 00:10:50,216
Andre Chase here,
he is rocking, he is rolling,

216
00:10:50,282 --> 00:10:52,051
and he's not going to cut corners.

217
00:10:52,118 --> 00:10:53,719
I still can't believe

218
00:10:53,786 --> 00:10:56,288
he is caught up in anything
that would harm the university.

219
00:10:56,355 --> 00:10:59,091
[Booker T] You got to do something
to gain the respect of your students.

220
00:10:59,258 --> 00:11:02,061
-Right there--
-[Vic] He's not cheating, Booker.

221
00:11:02,128 --> 00:11:03,796
[Booker T] Anything, Vic, anything.

222
00:11:04,497 --> 00:11:08,567
[Vic] By any means necessary,
I suppose, if you're the family in this--

223
00:11:08,634 --> 00:11:11,570
-Whoa! Big shot.
-[Vic] Shoulders down.

224
00:11:11,637 --> 00:11:12,872
[Booker T] That's it.

225
00:11:12,938 --> 00:11:16,242
[Vic] Almost new champion here on NXT.

226
00:11:16,308 --> 00:11:17,610
[Booker T] Tell what you.

227
00:11:18,144 --> 00:11:21,313
If the university loses
these championships tonight,

228
00:11:21,580 --> 00:11:25,685
they're going to be in dire straits,
it's going to be hell at that university.

229
00:11:25,751 --> 00:11:28,754
[Vic] More students continuing to leave
as I keep peeking up.

230
00:11:28,821 --> 00:11:31,257
And look at Hudson. Chase.

231
00:11:31,457 --> 00:11:33,693
-[Booker T] Whoa!
-[Vic] Look at Stacks!

232
00:11:33,759 --> 00:11:37,830
Title's on the line.
Another near fall a half second away.

233
00:11:38,197 --> 00:11:41,000
Stacks going low,
didn't go that low, however.

234
00:11:41,067 --> 00:11:43,602
Was able to buckle the knees
of Andre Chase.

235
00:11:43,669 --> 00:11:45,504
Sidestep. Enziguri rocks Stacks.

236
00:11:46,405 --> 00:11:49,875
But look at The Don wisely making the tag.

237
00:11:50,943 --> 00:11:52,445
The Don is legal.

238
00:11:52,511 --> 00:11:55,981
[Booker T] Look at the big man right here.
Look at Duke Hudson.

239
00:11:56,282 --> 00:11:57,316
Oh, yes!

240
00:11:57,383 --> 00:12:02,021
[Vic] I don't think Duke Hudson realizes
that The Don is the legal superstar.

241
00:12:02,088 --> 00:12:04,924
[Booker T] Doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter right now, Vic.

242
00:12:05,124 --> 00:12:07,326
It's about cleaning house, man.

243
00:12:07,393 --> 00:12:08,427
[Vic] What do you mean?

244
00:12:08,494 --> 00:12:10,029
[Booker T] It's about
taking care of business.

245
00:12:10,096 --> 00:12:11,564
[Vic] What do you mean?

246
00:12:14,433 --> 00:12:19,438
Closing out. Duke Hudson.
And Hudson just got wiped out.

247
00:12:19,738 --> 00:12:23,576
[Booker T] Oh!
Grabbed his knee right there too, Vic.

248
00:12:23,642 --> 00:12:27,480
[Vic] Look. The Don got wiped out.
Remember, D'Angelo is legal.

249
00:12:27,646 --> 00:12:28,681
[crowd booing]

250
00:12:28,747 --> 00:12:33,919
I can't get over the NXT Universe
and their reaction to Andre Chase.

251
00:12:34,820 --> 00:12:38,557
Chase going to the top. Looking down.

252
00:12:40,893 --> 00:12:42,728
What a way to kick off NXT.

253
00:12:42,795 --> 00:12:45,364
Stacks made the tag. Stacks is now legal.

254
00:12:47,032 --> 00:12:50,336
-Big suplex.
-[Booker T] Take care of business.

255
00:12:50,402 --> 00:12:52,771
-[Vic] Big splash by Stacks.
-[Booker T] We got two champions.

256
00:12:52,938 --> 00:12:55,474
[Vic] And Hudson just at the last moment.

257
00:12:56,342 --> 00:12:59,111
[Booker T] Like I said,
you can always count on the big man,

258
00:12:59,278 --> 00:13:02,848
Duke Hudson.
Always on time, even when he is late.

259
00:13:02,915 --> 00:13:04,683
[crowd chanting] NXT! NXT!

260
00:13:04,750 --> 00:13:08,120
[Vic] Andre Chase,
he's really fighting two battles, Booker.

261
00:13:08,187 --> 00:13:11,790
He's fighting his internal battles.
He's is fighting the Tag Team.

262
00:13:11,857 --> 00:13:14,994
He's actually maybe fighting three,
because he's fighting Chase U

263
00:13:15,060 --> 00:13:16,362
and the negative perception.

264
00:13:16,428 --> 00:13:18,197
[Booker T] In a match up like this,
you can't have no thoughts

265
00:13:18,264 --> 00:13:21,834
creep into the mind, Vic.
It's about the championship.

266
00:13:21,901 --> 00:13:25,771
It's about doing anything
to hold on to those championships.

267
00:13:26,105 --> 00:13:29,041
That's what this man,
Andre Chase, really needs to understand.

268
00:13:29,441 --> 00:13:31,110
[Vic] Chase firing back.

269
00:13:32,845 --> 00:13:34,914
All the emotion of the last week,
the scandal.

270
00:13:34,980 --> 00:13:37,650
-[Booker T] Here we go.
-[indistinct].

271
00:13:37,716 --> 00:13:43,455
[crowd booing]

272
00:13:51,197 --> 00:13:52,765
[indistinct]

273
00:13:55,134 --> 00:13:57,570
[crowd chanting]

274
00:13:57,636 --> 00:14:02,341
[Vic] Andre Chase in disbelief.
We still got a Tag Team match, Booker.

275
00:14:02,408 --> 00:14:05,644
Tag team titles on the line.
Inside cradle. Going for--

276
00:14:05,711 --> 00:14:08,280
[Booker T] Wow, so close.

277
00:14:08,347 --> 00:14:11,283
[Vic] Back to his feet. Spine buster.

278
00:14:11,350 --> 00:14:14,853
[Booker T] Planted in two right there
in the middle of that square circle.

279
00:14:14,920 --> 00:14:17,022
And here comes Stacks.
Stacks going up. No, no!

280
00:14:17,089 --> 00:14:18,958
[Vic] Hudson just got isolated.

281
00:14:19,358 --> 00:14:23,229
And here comes Bada Bing, Bada Boom.

282
00:14:23,295 --> 00:14:24,597
[Booker T] That's it.

283
00:14:24,663 --> 00:14:28,167
[Vic] Into the cover goes Stacks.
And we got new champs!

284
00:14:28,234 --> 00:14:29,235
[bell ringing]

285
00:14:29,935 --> 00:14:31,070
[Booker T] Wow.

286
00:14:31,503 --> 00:14:38,477
[female announcer] Here are your winners
and new NXT Tag Team champions,

287
00:14:38,711 --> 00:14:43,649
the team of "The Don of NXT",
Tony D'Angelo

288
00:14:43,849 --> 00:14:47,820
and Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo!

289
00:14:48,287 --> 00:14:52,124
[Vic] The Bergin Hunt and Fish Club
is going nuts right now.

290
00:14:53,559 --> 00:14:54,827
[Booker T] I like that.

291
00:14:55,961 --> 00:14:59,198
[Vic] The family collects here tonight.

292
00:15:04,336 --> 00:15:06,839
We have new Tag Team champions, Booker.

293
00:15:07,306 --> 00:15:10,175
But over the weekend,
we have a new Hall of Famer

294
00:15:10,242 --> 00:15:14,079
selecting our qualifying matches
for Deadline.

295
00:15:20,052 --> 00:15:21,520
Hey, NXT Universe.

296
00:15:21,587 --> 00:15:23,689
WWE Hall of Famer Lita here.

297
00:15:23,756 --> 00:15:27,026
And I know you have all
been waiting on my picks

298
00:15:27,092 --> 00:15:29,595
for this week's Iron Survivor
qualifying matches

299
00:15:29,662 --> 00:15:32,298
heading into NXT Deadline.

300
00:15:32,865 --> 00:15:34,667
Shawn Michaels has given me the power

301
00:15:34,733 --> 00:15:37,937
to do a little matchmaking in the ring.

302
00:15:38,370 --> 00:15:40,272
It's the qualifying matches.

303
00:15:40,739 --> 00:15:44,376
All right, let's start
with the NXT Women's Division.

304
00:15:44,443 --> 00:15:46,445
So many incredible women to choose from.

305
00:15:46,512 --> 00:15:48,781
Since the inception,
the NXT women's locker room

306
00:15:48,847 --> 00:15:53,519
has been making a waves and elevating
what it means to be in our business.

307
00:15:53,819 --> 00:15:58,457
Every week, those NXT women show out
and at the top of the list, for me,

308
00:15:58,924 --> 00:16:00,392
is Roxanne Perez.

309
00:16:00,459 --> 00:16:03,028
Now, can she win it all again?

310
00:16:03,562 --> 00:16:07,333
He is going to have to get past
a woman who has everything it takes

311
00:16:07,399 --> 00:16:08,901
to make that next big step in her career.

312
00:16:09,435 --> 00:16:13,038
And, girl,
I want to give you it that chance.

313
00:16:13,105 --> 00:16:15,541
Meta-Four's Lash Legend.

314
00:16:15,607 --> 00:16:19,011
I cannot wait to see
the contrast in styles

315
00:16:19,078 --> 00:16:22,147
and their strategies
to see who can come out on top.

316
00:16:22,848 --> 00:16:25,818
And for the men, come on.

317
00:16:25,884 --> 00:16:28,454
How did you not select Trick Williams?

318
00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:32,091
Trick has been on fire,
and he already knows

319
00:16:32,157 --> 00:16:34,159
he has a bull's-eye on his back.

320
00:16:34,626 --> 00:16:38,897
I mean, did Mello attack Trick?
Was it Lexus King? I do not know.

321
00:16:38,964 --> 00:16:43,135
What I do know
is Trick is in my man's qualifying match

322
00:16:43,202 --> 00:16:48,240
against a guy
who is tough as nails, Joe Coffey.

323
00:16:48,974 --> 00:16:53,512
And if Joe can turn this into a slug fest,
Trick may be in some trouble.

324
00:16:54,580 --> 00:16:58,117
I cannot white to see
how extreme these two matches get

325
00:16:58,317 --> 00:17:03,222
on this week's NXT.
Good luck to my four superstars.

326
00:17:05,591 --> 00:17:08,027
[Vic] Those two qualifying matches
coming up tonight.

327
00:17:08,093 --> 00:17:10,529
But in moments,
your favorite talk show, Booker.

328
00:17:10,596 --> 00:17:15,968
Meta-Four-sized Supernova Sessions
with Alpha Academy next.

329
00:17:16,034 --> 00:17:17,469
[Booker T] Yeah!

330
00:17:19,471 --> 00:17:22,040
[crowd booing]

331
00:17:22,307 --> 00:17:24,610
-Man!
-What's up, bro?

332
00:17:24,676 --> 00:17:27,246
Y'all getting it again, huh?
Last night, got it done.

333
00:17:27,312 --> 00:17:29,014
Judgment Day, keeping all the gold.

334
00:17:29,081 --> 00:17:30,616
-You know how we do.
-I do.

335
00:17:30,682 --> 00:17:32,451
But it looks like you're about
to get some gold of your own.

336
00:17:32,618 --> 00:17:35,220
That's the plan, and I'm gonna put it on.

337
00:17:35,287 --> 00:17:37,489
But tonight, I gotta deal
with your boy Wes Lee.

338
00:17:37,556 --> 00:17:40,492
-That guy just won't go away.
-He will because he is a quitter.

339
00:17:40,559 --> 00:17:42,795
Problem is, he keeps coming back.
He came back last week.

340
00:17:42,861 --> 00:17:45,431
He broke out a crayon,
and he made a little list,

341
00:17:45,497 --> 00:17:47,166
like he was writing to Santa Claus.

342
00:17:47,232 --> 00:17:50,636
But tonight, I'm gonna add something
to that list, a trip to the hospital.

343
00:17:51,103 --> 00:17:53,806
I like that.
Well, I will be around and be watching.

344
00:17:53,972 --> 00:17:56,375
-If you need a hand, let me know.
-I am good.

345
00:17:56,442 --> 00:17:58,377
If you haven't noticed,
I have been tearing it up lately.

346
00:17:58,444 --> 00:18:01,046
-You have, I ain't taking that away.
-But I appreciate the offer.

347
00:18:01,113 --> 00:18:04,183
All right. Well, I'll be watching.
I'll be around.

348
00:18:04,249 --> 00:18:05,284
All right. Be easy.

349
00:18:06,552 --> 00:18:07,619
Yeah.

350
00:18:07,686 --> 00:18:11,123
[male announcer] Ladies and gentlemen,
Supernova 1100, our special announcement.

351
00:18:11,190 --> 00:18:15,360
Me, I have my own talk show.
And that is bloody brilliant.

352
00:18:15,427 --> 00:18:17,096
Thank you. Bye-bye!

353
00:18:22,000 --> 00:18:26,405
Hello, hello, hello! Hear me now.

354
00:18:26,738 --> 00:18:33,011
Welcome to another production
of Supernova Sessions live in the USA!

355
00:18:33,078 --> 00:18:35,614
Tonight is a special night.

356
00:18:35,681 --> 00:18:36,982
Tell them, my brother!

357
00:18:37,049 --> 00:18:40,152
We get to witness
the bougie bully Lash Legend

358
00:18:40,352 --> 00:18:44,256
qualifying for
the Iron Survivor Challenge at Deadline.

359
00:18:44,456 --> 00:18:48,293
You already know.
It's time for me to Lash out, okay?

360
00:18:48,827 --> 00:18:53,599
And tonight's guests are worthy
of the Supernova Sessions spotlight,

361
00:18:54,066 --> 00:18:58,904
but as you can see, I've had to take
extreme security measures

362
00:18:59,138 --> 00:19:02,641
to make sure that
no criminal touches my cup.

363
00:19:02,708 --> 00:19:03,809
They can't take it.

364
00:19:03,976 --> 00:19:08,547
But without further ado,
please welcome Alpha Academy

365
00:19:08,780 --> 00:19:11,583
[crow cheering]

366
00:19:11,650 --> 00:19:13,585
How do you like the music?

367
00:19:13,652 --> 00:19:17,723
[music]

368
00:19:31,069 --> 00:19:36,108
[crowd cheering]

369
00:19:38,143 --> 00:19:40,512
[Vic] Everyone loves the Alpha Academy.

370
00:19:41,947 --> 00:19:45,417
He needs to calm down. This is for us.

371
00:19:45,484 --> 00:19:48,353
No, no, you get a plan.
You get a single plan.

372
00:19:51,924 --> 00:19:58,363
Alpha Academy.
Welcome to Supernova Sessions.

373
00:19:58,797 --> 00:20:02,901
Now, you guys have already achieved
so much together.

374
00:20:03,068 --> 00:20:07,439
Beloved by the WWE Universe. Must be nice!

375
00:20:07,639 --> 00:20:11,343
But is this the most amazing thing
that you've done?

376
00:20:11,643 --> 00:20:15,214
Being this close
to the modern day Mona Lisa,

377
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:16,882
my Heritage Cup?

378
00:20:18,116 --> 00:20:21,787
No, first of all, thank you!

379
00:20:21,853 --> 00:20:23,555
[crowd] Thank you!

380
00:20:23,722 --> 00:20:28,160
For having us down here
for a Supernova Sess, okay?

381
00:20:28,226 --> 00:20:31,897
And that is a beautiful cup,
if I do say so myself.

382
00:20:31,964 --> 00:20:34,233
But you are pretty lucky,
if you think about it,

383
00:20:34,299 --> 00:20:35,867
to still have it after last week

384
00:20:35,934 --> 00:20:37,836
Luck ain't got a damn thing to do with it.

385
00:20:37,903 --> 00:20:42,507
Noam is simply the greatest
Heritage Cup Champion there is.

386
00:20:43,242 --> 00:20:47,179
Miss Jackson only deals in fact,
not opinion.

387
00:20:47,713 --> 00:20:50,382
But it is fact that last week, Tozawa,

388
00:20:50,449 --> 00:20:52,150
you had this place rocking.

389
00:20:52,484 --> 00:20:54,820
-Oh, yeah.
-You came close.

390
00:20:55,187 --> 00:20:58,557
But, when it comes
to the championship rounds,

391
00:20:58,991 --> 00:21:02,794
there's levels to this game.
And this is my game.

392
00:21:03,161 --> 00:21:04,796
No, no, no, no, no, no.

393
00:21:05,197 --> 00:21:08,500
Take away the rest
of Meta-Four at ringside,

394
00:21:08,667 --> 00:21:11,837
and the cup will be mine.

395
00:21:11,903 --> 00:21:13,105
That's right, that's right.

396
00:21:13,171 --> 00:21:14,306
No, no, no.

397
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:17,075
You tell him, Tozawa-san, now.

398
00:21:17,142 --> 00:21:18,343
[screams]

399
00:21:18,410 --> 00:21:19,645
Hold up.

400
00:21:19,711 --> 00:21:22,714
You don't tell them anything
because we did nothing wrong here.

401
00:21:22,981 --> 00:21:26,218
The champion is keeping
his Heritage Cup on lock

402
00:21:26,284 --> 00:21:30,689
just like the bully is qualifying
for the Iron Survivor Challenge.

403
00:21:30,756 --> 00:21:31,890
Let them know, girl.

404
00:21:33,091 --> 00:21:35,394
Miss Lash,

405
00:21:35,460 --> 00:21:37,863
whatever you say is good in my book.

406
00:21:38,430 --> 00:21:40,399
Real good.

407
00:21:40,999 --> 00:21:44,102
You could say
anything you want to me, baby!

408
00:21:44,836 --> 00:21:46,138
Security!

409
00:21:46,204 --> 00:21:47,572
[making gun fire noises]

410
00:21:47,639 --> 00:21:49,541
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!

411
00:21:49,608 --> 00:21:50,742
Security!

412
00:21:50,809 --> 00:21:54,746
You, you, no!

413
00:21:55,714 --> 00:21:59,551
OS, let's stick to the topic

414
00:21:59,618 --> 00:22:01,953
Let's stick to the topic.
You're disgusting.

415
00:22:02,020 --> 00:22:04,389
And the topic is my cup.

416
00:22:04,723 --> 00:22:06,525
Come on. It'll be yours.

417
00:22:06,591 --> 00:22:09,494
Hey, hey, foolish boy. Didn't you hear
what this man had to say?

418
00:22:09,561 --> 00:22:11,430
You better just do your TikTok dance.

419
00:22:11,496 --> 00:22:14,366
Do not speak to him like that. No, no, no.

420
00:22:14,433 --> 00:22:16,435
He can do whatever the hell he wants.

421
00:22:16,501 --> 00:22:18,804
That's why he's my main man.

422
00:22:18,870 --> 00:22:20,439
-Let's just sit down.
-Here we go now.

423
00:22:20,605 --> 00:22:22,507
-Get'em! Get'em!
-Every day, Jack.

424
00:22:22,774 --> 00:22:24,543
What do you think you're doing here?

425
00:22:24,609 --> 00:22:27,512
Shhhh!

426
00:22:28,980 --> 00:22:31,316
Shhhh please!

427
00:22:32,284 --> 00:22:35,020
Now, Noam, you have got a point, okay?

428
00:22:35,087 --> 00:22:38,557
Your name has become synonymous
with the Heritage Cup.

429
00:22:38,623 --> 00:22:39,825
What are you? Three-time champion?

430
00:22:39,891 --> 00:22:41,259
Absolutely.

431
00:22:41,560 --> 00:22:46,098
And Chad, you need to understand
that there is nobody that can beat me.

432
00:22:46,164 --> 00:22:51,370
NXT had to do a global tournament
just to find me an opponent.

433
00:22:51,903 --> 00:22:54,406
-That is tough at the top.
-It is.

434
00:22:54,473 --> 00:22:57,242
That sounds like a rough life
you have got there, Noam.

435
00:22:57,309 --> 00:22:58,410
That sounds tough, man.

436
00:22:58,844 --> 00:23:03,281
If only you could walk a mile
in these $1,000 shoes of mine.

437
00:23:03,348 --> 00:23:04,916
Never.
Never.

438
00:23:04,983 --> 00:23:07,486
Noam, let me make your life easy

439
00:23:07,552 --> 00:23:10,856
because you don't have to look anywhere,
you don't have to go anywhere.

440
00:23:10,922 --> 00:23:15,026
I think I've got
your next challenger right here.

441
00:23:15,260 --> 00:23:16,261
Who have you got?

442
00:23:16,328 --> 00:23:17,329
Look at him.

443
00:23:17,396 --> 00:23:19,030
Right!

444
00:23:19,097 --> 00:23:21,767
[Noam laughs]

445
00:23:22,367 --> 00:23:24,002
No, no, no, no.

446
00:23:24,269 --> 00:23:26,271
Okay. I see what's happening here.

447
00:23:26,338 --> 00:23:29,841
Well, if this person
doesn't want to do the match tonight,

448
00:23:29,908 --> 00:23:33,845
after what Shinsuke has done to him,
I understand.

449
00:23:34,079 --> 00:23:40,051
And in fact, I'm a giving champion.
Next week, I oblige. You're on.

450
00:23:40,252 --> 00:23:44,890
But, please, tell me more
about this challenger of yours?

451
00:23:45,123 --> 00:23:50,495
Let me tell you,
he's got a big gas tank that can go, go,

452
00:23:50,562 --> 00:23:54,866
and a huge appetite for destruction.

453
00:23:55,066 --> 00:24:00,572
And his hips don't lie.
His hips can lift a thousand pounds.

454
00:24:00,639 --> 00:24:03,508
Oh, no, I'm in danger! I'm in danger!

455
00:24:04,309 --> 00:24:05,977
Please, Olympian!

456
00:24:06,545 --> 00:24:08,580
He's an Olympian?
What do you mean he's an Olympian?

457
00:24:08,647 --> 00:24:12,851
I mentioned he's a former
NXT Tag Team Champion

458
00:24:12,918 --> 00:24:16,521
-and a former Raw Tag Team Champion.
-No!

459
00:24:16,755 --> 00:24:20,425
Oh, and did I forget,
former SmackDown Tag Team Champion?

460
00:24:20,492 --> 00:24:21,493
No!

461
00:24:21,560 --> 00:24:24,062
No, this is my show.
Play that funky music!

462
00:24:24,129 --> 00:24:25,764
Security, what aren't you here?

463
00:24:25,964 --> 00:24:28,834
Hey, hey, oh, yeah, No take backs, Noam.

464
00:24:29,000 --> 00:24:29,868
No!

465
00:24:29,935 --> 00:24:31,236
Yeah! That's right, Noam.

466
00:24:31,403 --> 00:24:37,042
Your next challenger
for the Heritage Cup is me.

467
00:24:37,108 --> 00:24:39,344
Thank you!

468
00:24:41,112 --> 00:24:42,147
Whoa!

469
00:24:43,248 --> 00:24:44,449
[Vic] Booker!

470
00:24:47,719 --> 00:24:52,724
Master Cable just took Noam Dar to school.

471
00:24:53,925 --> 00:24:58,363
But Lash Legend has to collect herself
because Lash takes on Roxanne Perez

472
00:24:58,430 --> 00:25:00,432
in a qualifying match next.

473
00:25:04,469 --> 00:25:05,737
[Vic] Back on NXT.

474
00:25:05,804 --> 00:25:09,241
Lash Legend right now can't worry herself
about what just happened

475
00:25:09,307 --> 00:25:12,944
on the Supernova Sessions.
She better get focused real quick

476
00:25:13,111 --> 00:25:14,346
at the task at hand.

477
00:25:14,980 --> 00:25:18,550
[music]

478
00:25:20,619 --> 00:25:21,553
[bell ringing]

479
00:25:21,620 --> 00:25:23,421
[female announcer] The following
is a qualifying match

480
00:25:23,488 --> 00:25:26,391
for the Iron Survivor Challenge.

481
00:25:26,925 --> 00:25:31,630
Making her way to the ring, Roxanne Perez.

482
00:25:34,533 --> 00:25:36,935
-[Vic] Lita made this selection, right?
-[Booker T] Yes.

483
00:25:37,002 --> 00:25:38,470
[Vic] Hall of Famer Lita,

484
00:25:38,537 --> 00:25:41,006
a hero to Roxanne Perez.

485
00:25:41,506 --> 00:25:45,310
Will that add urgency
to Perez here tonight?

486
00:25:45,844 --> 00:25:46,811
[Booker T] I can tell you this.

487
00:25:46,878 --> 00:25:49,414
Lita respects Roxanne Perez
and what she's done.

488
00:25:49,481 --> 00:25:52,651
But this is one of those moments
where you're going to be tested.

489
00:25:52,717 --> 00:25:55,587
Every time you step in that ring,
you're going to be tested.

490
00:25:55,654 --> 00:25:58,023
And that's what this is about,
I think, for Lita.

491
00:25:58,990 --> 00:26:00,725
-[Vic] A test for Perez.
-[Booker T] No, for Lita.

492
00:26:00,792 --> 00:26:02,928
-Testing Roxanne.
-[Vic] I see what you're saying.

493
00:26:02,994 --> 00:26:04,996
That's what it's all about.

494
00:26:05,063 --> 00:26:09,801
WWE Hall of Famers making their selections
for who they feel deserve the opportunity

495
00:26:09,868 --> 00:26:13,071
ahead of Deadline to become
the Iron Survivor challenge winner,

496
00:26:13,138 --> 00:26:16,007
which Roxanne Perez did last year.

497
00:26:16,074 --> 00:26:17,776
She's looking for the repeat.

498
00:26:17,842 --> 00:26:21,580
[Booker T] It's going to be hard
because this is not just a hill.

499
00:26:21,746 --> 00:26:24,015
This is a mountain
and you're going to be climbing in and out

500
00:26:24,082 --> 00:26:26,184
with Lash Legend. Let's see what you got.

501
00:26:26,251 --> 00:26:27,752
[Vic] Shoulders down.

502
00:26:27,953 --> 00:26:31,923
And Perez's own momentum
actually carried Legend over

503
00:26:32,090 --> 00:26:37,028
to allow Legend to escape--
that might have angered Lash Legend.

504
00:26:37,095 --> 00:26:39,664
And she's not in a good mood
after what we just heard

505
00:26:39,731 --> 00:26:44,669
on the Supernova Session.
Did Noam Dar just make a major mistake?

506
00:26:44,736 --> 00:26:47,172
[Booker T] Noam Dar,
I don't think he made a mistake.

507
00:26:47,238 --> 00:26:50,442
But it's going to be a hell of a contest.
Who you got?

508
00:26:50,508 --> 00:26:52,944
[Vic] I am not going to answer
that question. That's your --

509
00:26:53,011 --> 00:26:54,045
[Booker T] Oh, wow.

510
00:26:54,212 --> 00:26:56,848
[Vic] That's your side of the table,
Booker, to pick winners and losers.

511
00:26:56,915 --> 00:26:58,617
Nice counter, though, by Perez,

512
00:26:58,683 --> 00:27:02,053
taking it to the bougie bully
here in this moment.

513
00:27:02,120 --> 00:27:04,723
[Booker T] Roxanne Perez
is going to have to do a lot of that

514
00:27:04,789 --> 00:27:08,760
to counter Lash Legend. What the hell?

515
00:27:08,827 --> 00:27:10,028
[Vic] What do you mean?

516
00:27:10,295 --> 00:27:14,165
The official from behind,
Legend just dropped off.

517
00:27:17,469 --> 00:27:18,837
[crowd cheering]

518
00:27:19,037 --> 00:27:20,005
[Booker T] You know I'm down--

519
00:27:20,071 --> 00:27:22,007
[Vic] Great job by the official.

520
00:27:22,073 --> 00:27:25,076
[Booker T] I'm not down
with all of these underhanded tricks.

521
00:27:25,143 --> 00:27:28,079
Know what I mean? Come on.
This is Roxanne Perez.

522
00:27:28,146 --> 00:27:32,083
-[Vic] From behind, Perez!
-[Booker T] We got it wrong.

523
00:27:32,517 --> 00:27:34,919
[Vic] Again, nice job
by the official Gary Wilson,

524
00:27:35,120 --> 00:27:37,656
making the decision
to send Meta-Four packing.

525
00:27:37,722 --> 00:27:41,860
Now the momentum shifting
to Roxanne Perez.

526
00:27:42,060 --> 00:27:45,830
[Booker T] David versus Goliath
in a match-up like this.

527
00:27:45,897 --> 00:27:47,732
And I'm assuming strength advantage.

528
00:27:47,799 --> 00:27:49,434
Besides advantage,
it's going to go to Lash Legend,

529
00:27:49,501 --> 00:27:50,702
with the quickness and speed,

530
00:27:50,869 --> 00:27:53,505
Roxanne Perez
is going to have to stand on a bicycle

531
00:27:53,571 --> 00:27:55,640
to try and create some space, Vic.

532
00:27:55,707 --> 00:27:57,275
Oh, man!

533
00:27:57,342 --> 00:28:01,913
[Vic] Big body slam. Tiffany Stratton
has already advanced to Deadline.

534
00:28:01,980 --> 00:28:05,417
In to the cover, Legend. Hook of the leg.
And a near fall in this match up.

535
00:28:05,483 --> 00:28:09,354
So you agree with Lita
that this is a contrast in styles

536
00:28:09,821 --> 00:28:12,957
-and most likely strategies as well?
-[Booker T] It is a contrast in styles.

537
00:28:13,024 --> 00:28:16,661
It's one of those moments where
Lash Legend is in the perfect position

538
00:28:16,728 --> 00:28:20,865
to come up.
I mean, it's a perfect opponent.

539
00:28:20,932 --> 00:28:23,735
I mean, come on.
I'm just telling it like it is.

540
00:28:23,802 --> 00:28:27,138
[Vic] Look at the size of Legend.
one knee almost the size of Roxanne--

541
00:28:27,205 --> 00:28:29,541
-[Booker T] Exactly my point.
-[Vic] And there's the strength.

542
00:28:29,607 --> 00:28:31,910
Looking to finish off,
the Tilt-A-Whirl instead,

543
00:28:32,610 --> 00:28:35,080
into a modified torture rack.

544
00:28:35,914 --> 00:28:38,950
Looking for the submission is Lash Legend.

545
00:28:39,017 --> 00:28:42,053
And are some sleeping
on Lash's in-ring ability.

546
00:28:42,420 --> 00:28:44,556
[Booker T] I mean,
iron sharpens iron, Vic.

547
00:28:44,622 --> 00:28:48,793
Being a part of Meta-Four is going to do
a hell of a lot of good for Lash Legend.

548
00:28:48,860 --> 00:28:50,829
Oh, just got caught. Just got caught!

549
00:28:50,895 --> 00:28:53,164
[Vic] Perez trying to lock in
that guillotine.

550
00:28:53,231 --> 00:28:55,500
But there again,
that power on display of Lash.

551
00:28:55,567 --> 00:28:58,636
And again, just muscling her way free.

552
00:28:58,703 --> 00:29:02,440
What is that ingredient
you think Lash Legend's missing?

553
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:05,610
[Booker T] A huge victory, Vic.
I think that's all it is.

554
00:29:05,677 --> 00:29:07,345
-[Vic] A statement win?
-[Booker T] That's all it is.

555
00:29:07,412 --> 00:29:11,349
They say that, if you win a championship,
you become 30% better.

556
00:29:11,416 --> 00:29:14,986
You win a big match like this
against Roxanne Perez, who's done so much,

557
00:29:15,053 --> 00:29:18,356
it's going to do a hell of a lot of good
for your confidence, man.

558
00:29:18,423 --> 00:29:21,626
[Vic] And we know Perez
has developed a killer instinct.

559
00:29:21,693 --> 00:29:25,230
That's been the biggest growth
in Perez over the last few months.

560
00:29:25,296 --> 00:29:29,768
And you can see the confidence in Perez.
You can hear the NXT Universe.

561
00:29:29,834 --> 00:29:33,037
[Booker T] All it is, she just matured
right before our very eyes.

562
00:29:33,104 --> 00:29:35,907
We've watched Perez just grow up
and become a woman,

563
00:29:35,974 --> 00:29:38,610
and not just a woman, a champion, Vic.

564
00:29:38,676 --> 00:29:42,514
[Vic] Hall of Famer leader, Lita,
said Perez was at the top of her list.

565
00:29:42,714 --> 00:29:45,517
[Booker T] Oh, whoa! That's it.

566
00:29:45,583 --> 00:29:49,354
[Vic] Then she proved Lita right,
into the cover to advance.

567
00:29:49,420 --> 00:29:54,225
And Lash Legend
kicking out at the last moment.

568
00:29:54,292 --> 00:29:56,761
[Booker T] That right there,
just that kick out,

569
00:29:56,828 --> 00:29:59,430
it shows me a lot of growth
in Lash Legend.

570
00:29:59,497 --> 00:30:02,133
A couple months ago,
a year ago, that wouldn't have happened.

571
00:30:02,467 --> 00:30:03,768
[Vic] Up and in.

572
00:30:04,068 --> 00:30:05,370
[Booker T] Wow!

573
00:30:05,937 --> 00:30:11,142
[Vic] Nice job by Perez,
who then Legend is able to kick out.

574
00:30:11,342 --> 00:30:14,212
Back to the live action,
a back breaker by Lash.

575
00:30:14,512 --> 00:30:17,315
[Booker T] Coming back into play
because Lash Legend took a big shot,

576
00:30:17,382 --> 00:30:21,719
but right now she is back in control,
trying to take this-- Wow!

577
00:30:21,986 --> 00:30:23,822
[Vic] You've got to be kidding me.
Did you see that?

578
00:30:24,322 --> 00:30:26,591
-[Booker T] A lot of athleticism.
-[Vic] Lash didn't connect.

579
00:30:26,891 --> 00:30:28,827
-Perez was just--
-[Booker T] Oh!

580
00:30:28,993 --> 00:30:32,664
[Vic] Ja'Kar Jackson,
she's already been set packing.

581
00:30:34,232 --> 00:30:37,535
All right, it's Kiana James. Oh!

582
00:30:39,504 --> 00:30:41,539
Prop kick rocking Perez.

583
00:30:41,606 --> 00:30:42,807
[Booker T] Haters, man.

584
00:30:42,874 --> 00:30:46,611
[Vic] The official was distracted
by Ja'Kar Jackson,

585
00:30:46,678 --> 00:30:48,146
who's already been ejected.

586
00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:52,884
And now Lash, thanks to Kiana James--

587
00:30:52,951 --> 00:30:54,018
power bomb.

588
00:30:54,085 --> 00:30:56,321
One, two, three!

589
00:30:56,387 --> 00:31:00,158
[Vic] And Lash qualified
for the Iron Survivor Challenge.

590
00:31:01,659 --> 00:31:05,163
[female announcer]
Your winner, Lash Legend.

591
00:31:05,230 --> 00:31:08,967
[Vic] That conniving Kiana James.

592
00:31:09,033 --> 00:31:11,402
[Booker T] Haters, man.
Haters in this business.

593
00:31:14,272 --> 00:31:19,777
[Vic] Roxanne Perez was hitting
at all cylinders in this match up.

594
00:31:20,044 --> 00:31:23,815
But after after Kiana James
stuck her nose where it didn't belong,

595
00:31:23,982 --> 00:31:30,154
not only took away Roxanne's chance
at the Iron Survivor Challenge,

596
00:31:30,221 --> 00:31:33,725
she took away Perez's chance at history.

597
00:31:35,460 --> 00:31:39,964
But Lash Legend now has a chance.
You said she needed that statement win.

598
00:31:40,531 --> 00:31:41,833
She just got it.

599
00:31:41,899 --> 00:31:45,703
Can she earn another one
at Deadline on December 9th?

600
00:31:53,711 --> 00:31:56,214
I want to do
what Tony and Stacks just did.

601
00:31:56,581 --> 00:31:58,783
You going to do a Tag Team?
But we didn't get the first ones yet.

602
00:31:58,850 --> 00:32:00,184
No, I'm saying take it to the next level.

603
00:32:00,251 --> 00:32:02,420
The two of them
at the top of their game right now.

604
00:32:02,654 --> 00:32:03,988
And Bro, I got an idea.

605
00:32:04,222 --> 00:32:05,857
Hey, new Tag Team Champions tonight,

606
00:32:05,924 --> 00:32:08,293
but next week,
you might get a new Heritage Cup too.

607
00:32:08,626 --> 00:32:12,096
That is a great point.
We gotta keep our eyes on them Tag Titles.

608
00:32:13,064 --> 00:32:14,799
-Hey, what?
-Man, look.

609
00:32:14,966 --> 00:32:18,236
New champions
means new number one contenders.

610
00:32:18,303 --> 00:32:21,673
-And I believe the world deserves to--
-No, no.

611
00:32:22,040 --> 00:32:25,143
[indistinc chatter]

612
00:32:25,410 --> 00:32:27,545
The world doesn't want to see
anything you guys got.

613
00:32:27,612 --> 00:32:30,014
You too couldn't catch break
if you bought one.

614
00:32:30,081 --> 00:32:33,084
I could buy a break.
I got some money. I could buy a break.

615
00:32:33,151 --> 00:32:36,821
[indistinc chatter]

616
00:32:37,188 --> 00:32:39,590
Two times Tag Team Champions.

617
00:32:39,657 --> 00:32:40,658
That's right!

618
00:32:41,492 --> 00:32:44,796
Hey, we got some business
to handle with that guy still.

619
00:32:45,096 --> 00:32:49,167
But for right now, we got the titles back.

620
00:32:49,367 --> 00:32:52,170
Enjoy now,
because it's not going to last long.

621
00:32:53,905 --> 00:32:56,574
Hod on a sec. Last time we saw you two,

622
00:32:57,175 --> 00:32:59,143
you were getting your asses
whooped by the Creeds

623
00:32:59,344 --> 00:33:02,847
and getting thrown through tables.
Am I right? Next!

624
00:33:03,748 --> 00:33:06,184
Ah, he's got you there, pal.

625
00:33:06,250 --> 00:33:07,819
[indistinc chatter]

626
00:33:07,985 --> 00:33:10,755
Hey, fellas,
Tag Team demands can wait, all right?

627
00:33:11,055 --> 00:33:14,625
Because next week we're busy.
We got to celebrate with the family, huh?

628
00:33:14,826 --> 00:33:16,928
That's right, baby. Come on, let's go.
We'll see you fellas later.

629
00:33:17,128 --> 00:33:19,564
You're invited.
You're not invited, losers.

630
00:33:19,731 --> 00:33:20,898
Take care.

631
00:33:21,265 --> 00:33:24,435
[indistinct chatter]

632
00:33:30,108 --> 00:33:32,577
Excellent technique.
Now, here's what we're talking about.

633
00:33:32,744 --> 00:33:34,212
It's the set-up to the kick now.

634
00:33:34,278 --> 00:33:37,181
Watch her, where she lines it up,
and when she comes,

635
00:33:37,448 --> 00:33:38,616
bam, you clean out.

636
00:33:38,683 --> 00:33:40,118
She has a lot of power in those kicks.

637
00:33:40,451 --> 00:33:42,153
-You have avoid them.
-Yeah.

638
00:33:42,220 --> 00:33:45,156
She can make them in any position,
at any given time.

639
00:33:45,223 --> 00:33:47,792
-I can feel that.
-If you want walk away with your title,

640
00:33:47,959 --> 00:33:49,594
and your head on your shoulders
next Tuesday,

641
00:33:49,794 --> 00:33:53,431
-you've got to work on counters.
-Just got a text message from Xia.

642
00:33:54,899 --> 00:33:57,402
"You're invited
to a Warrior's Tea Ceremony."

643
00:33:58,236 --> 00:33:59,904
A warriors tea ceremony?

644
00:34:00,471 --> 00:34:01,572
Gonna go?

645
00:34:02,306 --> 00:34:03,641
Absolutely.

646
00:34:04,075 --> 00:34:06,477
-But for now, let's get back to film.
-Yeah, that's right.

647
00:34:07,011 --> 00:34:08,579
But it is a total--

648
00:34:14,919 --> 00:34:17,755
[oriental music]

649
00:34:18,189 --> 00:34:19,290
Hello, Xia.

650
00:34:20,458 --> 00:34:21,426
Welcome, Lara.

651
00:34:22,193 --> 00:34:23,661
Before you sit,

652
00:34:23,728 --> 00:34:27,198
please put it on.

653
00:34:42,447 --> 00:34:43,915
It's tradition.

654
00:34:44,615 --> 00:34:46,250
Well, thank you, Xia.

655
00:34:46,317 --> 00:34:49,787
I definitely never been invited
to anything like this before.

656
00:34:49,854 --> 00:34:53,758
[Xia] The warrior tea ceremony
is very important.

657
00:34:54,058 --> 00:34:59,997
It is how my ancestors honored
the rival before the combat.

658
00:35:10,007 --> 00:35:13,744
A deep bow shows a deep respect.

659
00:35:14,278 --> 00:35:17,949
Respect isn't something
I expect to get from you, Xia.

660
00:35:18,916 --> 00:35:20,184
Have a seat.

661
00:35:30,294 --> 00:35:36,000
My warrior spirit
has been alight in the last months.

662
00:35:36,467 --> 00:35:38,970
I want to be noticed.

663
00:35:39,036 --> 00:35:41,606
Well, you have definitely
accomplished that.

664
00:35:42,140 --> 00:35:47,178
But I want to make sure
we are on a better field next week,

665
00:35:47,245 --> 00:35:51,249
when I challenge you
for your NXT Women's Championship.

666
00:35:52,150 --> 00:35:54,552
Well, I can do that if you can.

667
00:35:54,852 --> 00:35:56,787
As I have chosen you,

668
00:35:56,854 --> 00:36:00,491
we must choose
the correct leaves for conception.

669
00:36:00,992 --> 00:36:03,928
Now I pick the tea leaves.

670
00:36:13,971 --> 00:36:18,342
Then we pour the water
and the tea leaves transform.

671
00:36:25,483 --> 00:36:30,688
This represents
what's happened to us during the match.

672
00:36:30,755 --> 00:36:34,859
Tea must be brewed
at the correct temperature

673
00:36:34,926 --> 00:36:37,028
for correct amount of time.

674
00:36:37,094 --> 00:36:40,932
If you cannot, it will be ruined.

675
00:36:42,333 --> 00:36:44,769
So the leaves
are more delicate than they look.

676
00:36:50,875 --> 00:36:54,779
But over time,
the leaves cannot stay under the heat.

677
00:36:55,179 --> 00:36:59,016
And, finally, breaks down and crumbles.

678
00:36:59,650 --> 00:37:05,223
And that will happen
next Tuesday when I consume you.

679
00:37:22,173 --> 00:37:24,508
Consume the tea.

680
00:37:28,546 --> 00:37:30,915
Respectfully, I will not.

681
00:37:34,051 --> 00:37:39,824
If you are not consuming the tea,
I will show no remorse in our battle.

682
00:37:40,391 --> 00:37:42,059
So it has to be then.

683
00:37:42,126 --> 00:37:45,429
Next week, may the strongest warrior win.

684
00:38:18,863 --> 00:38:20,831
Trick Williams, Carmelo Hayes.

685
00:38:20,898 --> 00:38:23,301
Let's just address
the elephant in the room here.

686
00:38:23,501 --> 00:38:25,403
Melo, last week,
Trick punched you in the face.

687
00:38:25,569 --> 00:38:28,472
I mean, wait. Hold on, Mackenzie.
Don't be instigating.

688
00:38:28,739 --> 00:38:31,642
Now, with luck,
me and Melo talked about the situation.

689
00:38:31,909 --> 00:38:34,578
He knows that punch
last week was not intentional.

690
00:38:35,079 --> 00:38:37,615
But yet, if it was Melo
throwing a punch at Lexus King,

691
00:38:37,682 --> 00:38:40,051
it probably would have been me
who got hit instead.

692
00:38:40,418 --> 00:38:42,186
Mckenzie, you must understand.

693
00:38:43,087 --> 00:38:46,090
Accidents happen. Ain't that right, dawg?

694
00:38:46,824 --> 00:38:48,426
Yeah, that's right.

695
00:38:48,659 --> 00:38:50,795
Mackenzie, last week,
I stood in this exact spot

696
00:38:50,861 --> 00:38:54,298
and I told you and the whole world
I did not attack Trick.

697
00:38:54,999 --> 00:38:58,202
Lie detectors determined
I was telling the truth.

698
00:38:58,436 --> 00:39:00,271
Lie detector? What are you talking about?

699
00:39:00,337 --> 00:39:02,773
I told the whole world. And you know what?
To answer your question,

700
00:39:03,007 --> 00:39:06,510
last week, things did get a little heated.
But it's cool because it's squash now.

701
00:39:06,811 --> 00:39:09,246
Like Trick said, accidents happen.

702
00:39:09,513 --> 00:39:11,015
Here is another thing, Mackenzie.

703
00:39:11,215 --> 00:39:13,784
I don't know what type of mind game
Lexus King thinks he's playing,

704
00:39:13,851 --> 00:39:16,487
but he got the right one today.

705
00:39:16,821 --> 00:39:19,623
He is going to get his.
But tonight, Trick, you gotta get yours.

706
00:39:19,790 --> 00:39:23,260
Qualify for the Iron Survivor Challenge
and it's all yours.

707
00:39:23,627 --> 00:39:25,596
Gallus is going to out there
at the ringside,

708
00:39:25,863 --> 00:39:28,065
so I'm gonna have your back
tonight as well.

709
00:39:28,999 --> 00:39:32,069
Okay! Feels good to be back on the stage.

710
00:39:33,037 --> 00:39:34,372
[music]

711
00:39:34,438 --> 00:39:37,742
Oh, y'all hear that?
Is time for me to do my thing.

712
00:39:38,309 --> 00:39:39,677
Whoop that Trick.

713
00:39:41,679 --> 00:39:44,415
[crowd booing]

714
00:39:45,216 --> 00:39:48,586
[Vic] It's time
for the second qualifier of the night.

715
00:39:49,920 --> 00:39:51,021
[bell ringing]

716
00:39:51,088 --> 00:39:53,124
[female announcer]
The following is a qualifying match

717
00:39:53,290 --> 00:39:55,993
for the Iron Survivor Challenge.

718
00:39:56,060 --> 00:40:01,432
Introducing first,
representing Gallus, Joe Coffey!

719
00:40:01,599 --> 00:40:05,836
[Vic] Both superstars confident,
but only one will advance.

720
00:40:06,103 --> 00:40:10,274
Who will join Dijak at Deadline?
We find out next.

721
00:40:15,279 --> 00:40:18,749
You see, now that
is how you get things done.

722
00:40:18,816 --> 00:40:21,519
Roxanne isn't gonna win
the Iron Survivor Challenge this year

723
00:40:21,585 --> 00:40:24,422
because she's not in it. Courtesy of KJ.

724
00:40:24,488 --> 00:40:27,458
Right. Couldn't beat her last year.
Can't beat her this year.

725
00:40:27,525 --> 00:40:30,361
Great job, K.J.

726
00:40:30,428 --> 00:40:33,564
You know what, Gigi?
Roxanne did deserve it.

727
00:40:33,631 --> 00:40:35,466
Yes, she did. Did you see Kiana's forehead

728
00:40:35,533 --> 00:40:37,201
-after Halloween Havoc?
-Hello?

729
00:40:37,735 --> 00:40:39,637
-I think that--
-Oh, no, no, no!

730
00:40:39,703 --> 00:40:41,338
You have no right to speak!

731
00:40:41,772 --> 00:40:44,975
You still have not apologized to me
for what you did last week!

732
00:40:46,677 --> 00:40:50,815
Kiana, when you follow your heart,
you can never go wrong.

733
00:40:51,549 --> 00:40:53,150
How delusional are you?

734
00:40:53,684 --> 00:40:56,520
Gigi? My deepest apologies.

735
00:40:56,821 --> 00:40:58,789
Do you need help
understanding what I just said?

736
00:40:58,956 --> 00:41:02,626
I have tons of experience
helping the less fortunate,

737
00:41:02,693 --> 00:41:03,894
less educated--

738
00:41:03,961 --> 00:41:06,297
Let's hope that you have experience
in getting your ass whooped

739
00:41:06,464 --> 00:41:09,066
because that's exactly
what's going to happen to you tonight.

740
00:41:09,133 --> 00:41:10,134
Oh!

741
00:41:11,936 --> 00:41:14,839
Why does everything
always have to end in a fight?

742
00:41:17,808 --> 00:41:20,344
Bron Breakker,
last week you got the victory.

743
00:41:20,411 --> 00:41:22,613
But taking a look back,
do you have any remorse

744
00:41:22,680 --> 00:41:24,782
for what you did
to Von Wagner and Mr. Stone?

745
00:41:25,049 --> 00:41:26,951
No, Mackenzie. Absolutely not.

746
00:41:27,151 --> 00:41:30,054
Because what I did to Von
is what I do best,

747
00:41:30,120 --> 00:41:32,590
and that is hurt people, alright?

748
00:41:32,756 --> 00:41:37,127
I'm the bad ass of WWE,
and the result is always the same.

749
00:41:37,294 --> 00:41:39,630
I break everyone.

750
00:41:39,697 --> 00:41:41,565
So, Bron,
what does that mean for the future?

751
00:41:41,632 --> 00:41:43,100
[Dijak] Great question, Mckenzie.

752
00:41:43,400 --> 00:41:45,069
What is the future for Bron Breakker?

753
00:41:45,269 --> 00:41:46,770
I'd say…
I don't know, what do you think?

754
00:41:47,238 --> 00:41:49,573
Uncertain? For me it's clear.

755
00:41:49,974 --> 00:41:52,443
While you are busy
picking the splinters out of your ass,

756
00:41:52,509 --> 00:41:55,112
I was busy qualifying
for the Iron Survivor Challenge.

757
00:41:56,247 --> 00:41:59,049
You got some nerve to interrupt me

758
00:41:59,116 --> 00:42:01,018
when our paths
haven't even crossed before.

759
00:42:01,085 --> 00:42:02,319
Oh, but they might.

760
00:42:02,386 --> 00:42:05,956
I'm betting that either Lawler
or JBL probably ends up giving you

761
00:42:06,023 --> 00:42:07,391
a qualifying match, don't you think?

762
00:42:07,591 --> 00:42:11,128
You don't want me
in the Iron Survivor Challenge. I promise.

763
00:42:12,396 --> 00:42:15,032
I am the one guy who does.

764
00:42:15,332 --> 00:42:18,469
Because I'm the one guy
that you can't break.

765
00:42:20,971 --> 00:42:26,744
If I qualify for the match,
stay out of my way because if you don't,

766
00:42:27,244 --> 00:42:31,582
I will have you begging
for retribution, pal.

767
00:42:36,253 --> 00:42:41,492
[Vic] Woo! Dijak is about to find out
who is the first to join him at Deadline.

768
00:42:41,692 --> 00:42:45,029
[Booker T] Yeah. [indistinct]

769
00:42:45,362 --> 00:42:49,366
[crowd chanting] Whoop that Trick!

770
00:42:50,601 --> 00:42:51,969
[Booker T] What?

771
00:42:52,503 --> 00:42:56,941
[crowd chanting] Whoop that Trick!

772
00:42:59,843 --> 00:43:03,914
I need it! I need it!

773
00:43:04,782 --> 00:43:06,750
[crowd chanting] Whoop that Trick!

774
00:43:07,084 --> 00:43:08,085
[Booker T] What?

775
00:43:09,253 --> 00:43:13,824
Yeah. Uh-huh. I like it.

776
00:43:14,124 --> 00:43:16,060
Oh, yeah, man.

777
00:43:17,061 --> 00:43:20,397
[female announcer] Introducing,
accompanied by Carmelo Hayes,

778
00:43:20,598 --> 00:43:22,900
Trick Williams!

779
00:43:23,067 --> 00:43:24,034
[Booker T] Oh, yeah!

780
00:43:25,235 --> 00:43:26,503
Whoop that Trick.

781
00:43:26,937 --> 00:43:27,972
What?

782
00:43:28,038 --> 00:43:29,440
[crowd chanting] Whoop that Trick!

783
00:43:29,506 --> 00:43:30,641
[Booker T] Yeah!

784
00:43:33,477 --> 00:43:36,413
I like it. Oh, yeah, man.

785
00:43:37,147 --> 00:43:40,651
That Trick, y'all. Oh, man.

786
00:43:41,652 --> 00:43:44,555
[Booker T] Did you really hit
Wade Barrett with a subpoena?

787
00:43:44,855 --> 00:43:47,124
[Booker T] Oh, yeah. I'm suing his ass.

788
00:43:47,291 --> 00:43:52,162
[crowd continues chanting]

789
00:43:52,229 --> 00:43:55,399
[Vic] As we refocus
on this qualifying match up,

790
00:43:56,033 --> 00:43:59,770
I'm not expecting you to go that route
or go that deep into the ring.

791
00:43:59,837 --> 00:44:03,340
[Booker T] I'm serious, man.
Gimmick infringement.

792
00:44:03,407 --> 00:44:04,708
You heard of that.

793
00:44:04,775 --> 00:44:06,644
[Vic] Look,
let's talk about Trick Williams.

794
00:44:06,710 --> 00:44:09,980
Because he's going to need to heist
the roller coaster he's been on.

795
00:44:10,214 --> 00:44:13,117
And it is easier said than done
when there is someone like Joe Coffey.

796
00:44:13,283 --> 00:44:15,185
[Booker T] He's got
a lot of momentum going, Vic.

797
00:44:15,252 --> 00:44:17,187
He just has to keep that momentum,

798
00:44:17,254 --> 00:44:21,291
but this man right here, Joe Coffey,
he is a mountain of a man.

799
00:44:21,358 --> 00:44:24,428
Look at the body. He is like a tank, man.

800
00:44:25,129 --> 00:44:27,898
[Vic] Hall of Famer Lita,
who made this selection,

801
00:44:27,965 --> 00:44:30,834
selected these two superstars
in a match that she wanted to see--

802
00:44:30,901 --> 00:44:31,935
[Booker T] Wow!

803
00:44:32,102 --> 00:44:35,673
[Vic] How both would respond.
And right now it is Joe Coffey.

804
00:44:35,739 --> 00:44:39,176
If you're Joe Coffey,
how do you stop the momentum

805
00:44:39,710 --> 00:44:42,179
-of someone like Trick Williams?
-[Booker T] Did you hear what I said?

806
00:44:42,246 --> 00:44:45,349
I mean, Joe Coffey,
he's built like a tank.

807
00:44:45,416 --> 00:44:48,018
He is capable on any given night or day.

808
00:44:48,085 --> 00:44:51,989
This may be the biggest test
for Trick Williams to date.

809
00:44:52,056 --> 00:44:53,157
Oh, yeah, man.

810
00:44:53,223 --> 00:44:56,527
[Vic] Lash Legend advanced earlier tonight
and joined Tiffany Stratton

811
00:44:56,593 --> 00:44:58,829
on the women's side of things
for the Iron Survivor Challenge.

812
00:44:58,896 --> 00:45:00,130
Dijak into the match.

813
00:45:00,197 --> 00:45:03,467
Of course, the Iron Survivor Challenge
happens at Deadline.

814
00:45:03,534 --> 00:45:06,570
Tickets on sale now at ticketmaster.com.

815
00:45:06,637 --> 00:45:08,972
Now Trick Williams showing some strength.

816
00:45:09,039 --> 00:45:12,276
[Booker T] Yeah, like I say,
Trick can be unorthodox.

817
00:45:12,342 --> 00:45:15,012
He's not gonna go out there
thinking technically.

818
00:45:15,079 --> 00:45:17,214
He's just gonna hit you
with a big right hand

819
00:45:17,281 --> 00:45:20,617
and try to get you out of there.
That's what I like about Trick Williams.

820
00:45:20,684 --> 00:45:23,454
[Vic] Trick told me, "fake friends
write the wrong answers on the mirror."

821
00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:25,456
Mello is not a fake friend,

822
00:45:25,622 --> 00:45:28,492
but is it wise to have Mello
ringside here tonight?

823
00:45:28,559 --> 00:45:29,727
[Booker T] Oh, yes, man.

824
00:45:29,793 --> 00:45:33,597
When you got the Coffey brothers
out there with Wolfgang,

825
00:45:33,664 --> 00:45:35,399
you better have some backup.

826
00:45:35,566 --> 00:45:38,202
[Vic] Whoa, whoa,
looking for the backslide.

827
00:45:39,403 --> 00:45:40,804
[Booker T] Test your strength, Vic.

828
00:45:41,004 --> 00:45:43,340
[Vic] Coffey trying to drop those hips.

829
00:45:43,407 --> 00:45:45,709
[Booker T] Look at Trick right now.
Look at the bicep.

830
00:45:45,943 --> 00:45:48,912
Look at the latissimus dorsi. Oh, yes!

831
00:45:48,979 --> 00:45:51,682
[Vic] Whoa,
a nice counter there by Coffey.

832
00:45:51,749 --> 00:45:53,851
Still to come, Wes lee, Baron Corbin.

833
00:45:53,917 --> 00:45:56,553
That's going to be a slug fest.
And that could be a knockout.

834
00:45:56,620 --> 00:45:57,888
[Booker T] That is.

835
00:45:57,955 --> 00:46:00,324
That's what I'm talking about, Vic.

836
00:46:00,724 --> 00:46:03,761
[Vic] Carmelo Hayes right there
on the outside showing support.

837
00:46:03,827 --> 00:46:06,130
-[Booker T] What?
-[Vic] Trick Williams.

838
00:46:06,396 --> 00:46:09,166
And there is the Coffey brothers. Mark.

839
00:46:09,233 --> 00:46:13,704
There's Wolfgang, known as Gallus,
getting in the way of Trick Williams

840
00:46:13,904 --> 00:46:18,909
to allow Joe Coffey to get that moment
to get back into this match up.

841
00:46:19,143 --> 00:46:21,712
[Booker T] He's trying to break
the head force feel right there,

842
00:46:21,779 --> 00:46:26,750
but he just ran into that man Joe Coffey.
And what I say about Joe Coffey?

843
00:46:26,817 --> 00:46:29,853
He's good, good to the last drop, man.

844
00:46:29,920 --> 00:46:31,922
[Vic] Carmelo Hayes
trying to even things out

845
00:46:31,989 --> 00:46:34,725
but didn't like the numbers advantage,
which Gallus does have.

846
00:46:34,792 --> 00:46:38,395
Here tonight, it was Trick and Carmelo
who told Mckenzie "there's no beef."

847
00:46:38,462 --> 00:46:40,864
Do you believe them? Honestly?

848
00:46:40,931 --> 00:46:43,267
[Booker T] Beef, that's a hard one.
I would say tension.

849
00:46:43,333 --> 00:46:44,635
[Vic] Shoulders down.

850
00:46:44,701 --> 00:46:46,837
[Booker T] Whoa, whoa,
I would tension between those two.

851
00:46:47,037 --> 00:46:51,308
But tonight it seems like
they are brothers to the bone, man.

852
00:46:52,075 --> 00:46:55,379
[Vic] NXT Universe
trying to rally Trick Williams here again.

853
00:46:55,445 --> 00:46:56,680
The winner of this match up

854
00:46:56,880 --> 00:47:00,284
heads to the Iron Survivor Challenge
match at Deadline.

855
00:47:00,350 --> 00:47:05,055
The winner of the Iron Survivor gets
an opportunity at the NXT Championship.

856
00:47:05,122 --> 00:47:07,457
And Joe Coffey
taking it to Trick Williams.

857
00:47:07,524 --> 00:47:10,627
This is that opportunity
to remind the universe,

858
00:47:10,694 --> 00:47:12,396
Joe Coffey is a main event player.

859
00:47:12,462 --> 00:47:14,865
[Booker T] I talk about
Joe Coffey's leadership,

860
00:47:14,932 --> 00:47:16,233
and he has shown that.

861
00:47:16,300 --> 00:47:21,638
Gallus wouldn't be where they are
without this man, Joe Coffey.

862
00:47:21,872 --> 00:47:25,375
[Vic] Williams has been doing
his own thing as of late, riding solo.

863
00:47:25,442 --> 00:47:26,844
That's why it's kind of interesting.

864
00:47:27,144 --> 00:47:29,980
-[Booker T] Oh, wow!
-[Vic] He's out there as a numbers game,

865
00:47:30,047 --> 00:47:31,882
as Williams knocked over the top rope.

866
00:47:31,949 --> 00:47:35,118
Who is headed to Deadline?
Coffey or Williams?

867
00:47:38,455 --> 00:47:39,890
[Vic] Back on NXT.

868
00:47:40,290 --> 00:47:43,994
Iron Survivor Challenge,
Trick Williams, Joe Coffey.

869
00:47:44,061 --> 00:47:45,629
Who is going to advance to Deadline?

870
00:47:45,696 --> 00:47:48,932
Joe Coffey really has been
in control of this match up.

871
00:47:48,999 --> 00:47:52,302
[Booker T] I mean, Joe Coffey,
like I said-- oh, man!

872
00:47:52,369 --> 00:47:56,940
He's got those balling tactics,
but he's very technical at the same time.

873
00:47:57,007 --> 00:47:59,276
Shit like that, beautiful, beautiful.

874
00:47:59,343 --> 00:48:02,613
[Vic] Cover [indistinct] offense
and Williams able to kick out.

875
00:48:02,679 --> 00:48:04,114
But Joe Coffey is used to the pressure.

876
00:48:04,348 --> 00:48:06,950
He was had the finals
in the Global Heritage [indistinct].

877
00:48:07,017 --> 00:48:10,020
He has been a main
event player in the past.

878
00:48:10,087 --> 00:48:14,091
But he is trying to get his footing
here in NXT over the last several months.

879
00:48:14,157 --> 00:48:18,262
[Booker T] And a win over perhaps
one of the hottest individuals in NXT,

880
00:48:18,328 --> 00:48:21,932
Trick Williams, hey,
you will be the talk of the--

881
00:48:21,999 --> 00:48:25,269
I will be talking about, what?
Yeah, for Joe Coffey.

882
00:48:25,335 --> 00:48:28,372
Give him the old props. Oh, yeah.

883
00:48:28,438 --> 00:48:30,207
[Vic] Trick Williams now
trying to fit back,

884
00:48:30,274 --> 00:48:31,441
and you just saw
over the shoulder moments ago.

885
00:48:31,508 --> 00:48:34,945
Carmelo Hayes, don't adjust your set,
Hayes is out here in support.

886
00:48:35,012 --> 00:48:37,681
-[Booker T] Big counter there.
-[Vic] Big counter by Trick Williams.

887
00:48:37,848 --> 00:48:39,750
[Booker T] Big counter there
by Trick Williams.

888
00:48:40,017 --> 00:48:41,852
[Vic] Dijak has advanced.

889
00:48:41,919 --> 00:48:45,656
Who will be the second superstar
to make their way to Deadline

890
00:48:45,722 --> 00:48:47,891
in that very unique
Iron Survivor Challenge?

891
00:48:47,958 --> 00:48:50,093
Nice jump and neck breaker.

892
00:48:52,729 --> 00:48:56,533
And look, a few of them.
Carmelo Hayes in the pouch.

893
00:48:56,867 --> 00:49:00,037
[Booker] Come on. I think it was a crime.
I mean, everybody's a suspect.

894
00:49:00,103 --> 00:49:03,006
[Vic] Take another look
and an impact. Bam!

895
00:49:04,408 --> 00:49:07,411
[Booker T] I mean,
who do you trust in a situation like that?

896
00:49:07,477 --> 00:49:11,014
Everybody's a suspect
when something like that goes down.

897
00:49:11,081 --> 00:49:12,883
Even Carmelo Hayes.

898
00:49:12,950 --> 00:49:14,885
[Vic] Trick Williams
has an opportunity here tonight.

899
00:49:14,952 --> 00:49:17,120
He missed out
on his opportunity several weeks ago,

900
00:49:17,187 --> 00:49:19,323
but he's got to win tonight
to get to Deadline.

901
00:49:19,389 --> 00:49:22,292
Same thing with Joe Coff.
Both have championship dreams.

902
00:49:22,359 --> 00:49:24,528
Who is going to be able
to pass that threshold?

903
00:49:24,594 --> 00:49:28,999
There again, the strength of Coffey.
That may be the difference maker.

904
00:49:29,066 --> 00:49:31,335
Another cover, another hook of the leg.
Williams kicks out.

905
00:49:31,401 --> 00:49:33,570
[Booker T] Definitely is
a history-making moment.

906
00:49:33,637 --> 00:49:35,439
Iron Survivor challenge.

907
00:49:35,605 --> 00:49:38,842
I mean, to be the first.
That's what this this is all about.

908
00:49:38,909 --> 00:49:40,844
I want out, I want out!

909
00:49:40,911 --> 00:49:45,816
[Vic] Coffey trying to wear down
Trick Williams. There is Carmelo Hayes.

910
00:49:45,882 --> 00:49:47,651
Trying to fuel Trick Williams on.

911
00:49:48,652 --> 00:49:52,823
It's Carmelo Hayes who competed
in last year's Iron Survivor Challenge.

912
00:49:52,889 --> 00:49:55,559
Came up one fall short
of the eventual winner.

913
00:49:55,625 --> 00:49:57,127
That would be Grayson Waller.

914
00:49:57,361 --> 00:49:59,529
Trick Williams picking up the momentum.

915
00:49:59,863 --> 00:50:01,965
And Williams,
who didn't make that match up,

916
00:50:02,132 --> 00:50:05,769
talked right in Carmello Hayes' face,
"When is my time?"

917
00:50:06,236 --> 00:50:11,008
Booker, you've got to agree,
it is his time to prove it.

918
00:50:11,074 --> 00:50:14,745
[Booker T] Come on. I mean,
Trick Williams, all he wants is a shot.

919
00:50:14,945 --> 00:50:17,914
He just wants his champagne wishes,
his caviar treats,

920
00:50:17,981 --> 00:50:19,116
his piece of the action.

921
00:50:19,182 --> 00:50:22,285
Oh, yes. I get it.
Tonight might be that night.

922
00:50:22,352 --> 00:50:25,722
-[Vic] And now look at Joe Coffey.
-[Booker T] Wow! Big uppercut.

923
00:50:27,691 --> 00:50:29,960
[Vic] Gonna be looking
for that knockout blow one more time.

924
00:50:30,027 --> 00:50:33,830
Coming right back in
and now Trick starting to feel it.

925
00:50:33,897 --> 00:50:35,532
That looked familiar.

926
00:50:35,766 --> 00:50:37,000
[Booker T] Oh! I've seen that before.

927
00:50:37,067 --> 00:50:41,571
Plate side. Oh, yes. Oh, no, no.

928
00:50:43,573 --> 00:50:45,675
[Vic] Williams fired up.

929
00:50:45,876 --> 00:50:48,445
[crowd cheering]

930
00:50:52,015 --> 00:50:53,884
-The NXT Universe--
-[Booker T] Deal shot.

931
00:50:53,950 --> 00:50:55,619
Deal shot. Oh, whoa, no.

932
00:50:55,685 --> 00:50:58,355
[Vic] He was looking
for the high impact offense

933
00:50:58,422 --> 00:51:00,657
that's been here.
Now he was countered big headbutt.

934
00:51:00,724 --> 00:51:03,360
He goes right to the throat.
Coffey now, answering back.

935
00:51:03,427 --> 00:51:06,530
Got caught. Got dropped. That could be it.

936
00:51:06,930 --> 00:51:10,200
-Trick into the cover!
-[Booker T] Whoa, whoa, whoa!

937
00:51:10,267 --> 00:51:11,601
Come on, man!

938
00:51:12,636 --> 00:51:15,472
[Vic] Hey! What's Mark Coffey doing?

939
00:51:16,173 --> 00:51:20,143
Derrick Sanders, hands full.
Gallus all over the place.

940
00:51:21,978 --> 00:51:24,314
And Carmelo, whoa!

941
00:51:26,917 --> 00:51:31,154
Carmelo Hayes and Trick Williams,
I think, are on the same page.

942
00:51:32,355 --> 00:51:33,223
Look out!

943
00:51:34,791 --> 00:51:38,495
Oh, Gallus. Joe Coffey.
This could be that moment.

944
00:51:38,562 --> 00:51:40,430
[Booker T] Carmelo, do something, damn it.

945
00:51:40,964 --> 00:51:42,732
[Vic] Williams back into the ring.

946
00:51:42,999 --> 00:51:45,435
Coffey. Target set.

947
00:51:46,937 --> 00:51:50,874
Glasgow send off.
Followed up. German suplex.

948
00:51:50,941 --> 00:51:54,444
This could be it
for Joe Coffey to head to Deadline.

949
00:51:54,511 --> 00:51:57,047
No, yet.

950
00:51:57,114 --> 00:51:58,849
Wow, what a sequence.

951
00:51:58,915 --> 00:52:02,486
[Booker T] Man,
are you seeing what I'm seeing, Vic?

952
00:52:02,552 --> 00:52:04,521
[Vic] I'm seeing right now. [indistinct]

953
00:52:04,588 --> 00:52:08,325
Back to the knee. Flash knee.
Side of the face. Cover.

954
00:52:08,658 --> 00:52:09,860
[Booker T] Wow, yes!

955
00:52:09,926 --> 00:52:11,862
[Vic] Trick is headed to Deadline.

956
00:52:12,896 --> 00:52:17,234
[female announcer]
Here is your winner, Trick Williams!

957
00:52:17,300 --> 00:52:18,802
[crowd chanting] Whoop that Trick!

958
00:52:20,070 --> 00:52:23,106
[Booker T] Yeah, I like it.

959
00:52:23,573 --> 00:52:24,774
Oh, yeah. Hey vic!

960
00:52:25,976 --> 00:52:30,981
I am loving what happened with Trick.
Did you see what happened there?

961
00:52:31,047 --> 00:52:33,717
Did you see what I saw? Did you see that?

962
00:52:33,984 --> 00:52:36,753
[Vic] Well, let's go back
to some of the action in this match up.

963
00:52:36,820 --> 00:52:38,421
Here is the [indistinct].

964
00:52:39,489 --> 00:52:42,959
Trick Williams nearly had the match up,

965
00:52:43,226 --> 00:52:44,728
-but then Gallus--
-[Booker T] So close!

966
00:52:44,794 --> 00:52:46,196
[Vic] And this is what
you're talking about.

967
00:52:46,263 --> 00:52:49,699
All I see, Booker,
is Carmelo Hayes evening the odds.

968
00:52:49,766 --> 00:52:51,001
[Booker T] What are you talking about?

969
00:52:51,067 --> 00:52:53,670
He pulled down Wolfgang,
and it just wasn't the same time.

970
00:52:53,837 --> 00:52:56,573
And then Williams, he wasn't left there,

971
00:52:56,640 --> 00:52:58,475
Carmelo Hayes got out of the way,

972
00:52:58,542 --> 00:53:01,912
and Carmelo Hayes [indistinct].

973
00:53:02,078 --> 00:53:06,216
What I see here is a beautifully-placed
knee by Trick Williams,

974
00:53:06,283 --> 00:53:07,884
who advances to Deadline,

975
00:53:07,951 --> 00:53:10,854
who advances
to the Iron Survivor Challenge.

976
00:53:11,121 --> 00:53:14,858
And if Trick can whip
four others on December 9th,

977
00:53:14,925 --> 00:53:18,895
he could be the Iron Survivor.

978
00:53:19,162 --> 00:53:21,932
[indistinct]

979
00:53:22,365 --> 00:53:23,400
I love y'all!

980
00:53:23,466 --> 00:53:25,569
[cheers and applause]

981
00:53:27,437 --> 00:53:28,471
Yeah.

982
00:53:30,907 --> 00:53:33,810
[indistinct] Oh, man.

983
00:53:34,044 --> 00:53:36,413
-Easy!
-You can't be jumping out.

984
00:53:36,479 --> 00:53:37,781
With Corbin getting you and…

985
00:53:37,847 --> 00:53:39,616
Don't even get me talking
on the parking lot.

986
00:53:39,816 --> 00:53:40,650
Look.

987
00:53:40,984 --> 00:53:42,385
I'm glad I caught you.

988
00:53:42,619 --> 00:53:44,521
Congratulations on the NXT title.

989
00:53:44,754 --> 00:53:45,622
Thank you, Wes.

990
00:53:45,822 --> 00:53:47,724
By the way, welcome back.

991
00:53:48,225 --> 00:53:50,560
I realize that our last match
was a catalyst

992
00:53:50,627 --> 00:53:52,162
for you to take some time off?

993
00:53:52,229 --> 00:53:55,665
Yeah, in a way,
but don't even sweat it, dawg.

994
00:53:55,732 --> 00:53:57,334
Water under the bridge. And honestly,

995
00:53:57,734 --> 00:53:59,903
kind of needed some time off.
Now I am back,

996
00:54:00,070 --> 00:54:03,940
got plenty of things on the agenda
and it starts with Baron Corbin tonight.

997
00:54:04,574 --> 00:54:07,344
Listen, Wes, I appreciate
that you enjoy my art of combat,

998
00:54:07,410 --> 00:54:09,012
so I will take a close look tonight.

999
00:54:09,346 --> 00:54:12,782
But please,
please leave me a piece of Corbin.

1000
00:54:13,617 --> 00:54:14,818
I will think about it.

1001
00:54:14,884 --> 00:54:16,953
But I got to be paying attention
to these other cats,

1002
00:54:17,020 --> 00:54:18,288
doing the things that he did,

1003
00:54:18,355 --> 00:54:22,225
doing anything and everything
to get their hands on you and that title.

1004
00:54:22,859 --> 00:54:25,629
I am aware of this.
Does that include you, Wes?

1005
00:54:27,597 --> 00:54:28,598
Me?

1006
00:54:29,199 --> 00:54:31,268
Nah. I got some other things in mind.

1007
00:54:32,602 --> 00:54:33,970
See you, dawg.

1008
00:54:35,372 --> 00:54:36,840
[music]

1009
00:54:36,906 --> 00:54:39,376
[Vic] Big main event
still to come tonight.

1010
00:54:46,249 --> 00:54:48,285
Get ready, Booker.

1011
00:54:50,487 --> 00:54:52,489
[explosion]

1012
00:54:53,456 --> 00:54:54,357
[bell ringing]

1013
00:54:54,424 --> 00:54:56,626
[female announcer] The following contest
is a Tag Team match

1014
00:54:56,693 --> 00:54:58,495
scheduled for one fall.

1015
00:54:58,561 --> 00:55:01,831
Introducing first,
representing the Brawling Brutes,

1016
00:55:02,299 --> 00:55:05,902
the team of Ridge Holland and Butch!

1017
00:55:06,169 --> 00:55:08,338
[Vic] All the way from Smack Down.

1018
00:55:08,405 --> 00:55:12,876
There is only one thing
on the mind of this duo.

1019
00:55:14,544 --> 00:55:18,214
This is going to be
an old-fashioned scrap.

1020
00:55:18,748 --> 00:55:23,153
Tag Team clash
when we come back next on NXT.

1021
00:55:23,720 --> 00:55:27,090
[music]

1022
00:55:34,197 --> 00:55:36,466
[crowd booing]

1023
00:55:36,633 --> 00:55:37,967
[steps approaching]

1024
00:55:39,869 --> 00:55:43,106
-Look who it is, talking NXT.
-Guilty as charged, my friend.

1025
00:55:43,273 --> 00:55:46,009
Let me give you some credit, too.
That's how you make a name for yourself.

1026
00:55:46,076 --> 00:55:48,378
Taking out Trick Williams,
that was a big move.

1027
00:55:48,945 --> 00:55:51,748
I always knew I was gonna be
a major player in this game,

1028
00:55:51,948 --> 00:55:54,350
and now it seems
the rest of the world agrees with me.

1029
00:55:54,417 --> 00:55:56,619
Look, I can't disagree to that,

1030
00:55:56,786 --> 00:55:58,588
and look,
how you did it without getting caught,

1031
00:55:58,655 --> 00:56:01,391
that was impressive.
So, I gotta know. How'd you get it done?

1032
00:56:02,292 --> 00:56:03,727
How did I get it done?

1033
00:56:03,960 --> 00:56:05,829
That's the million dollar question,
my man.

1034
00:56:05,995 --> 00:56:09,399
But all I got to say is,
mission accomplished.

1035
00:56:09,466 --> 00:56:10,600
It is done.

1036
00:56:10,667 --> 00:56:13,002
Also, I see
you're in the main event tonight.

1037
00:56:13,069 --> 00:56:15,572
-Yeah.
-Good luck and enjoy the spotlight.

1038
00:56:16,005 --> 00:56:17,874
-I'll be watching.
-All right.

1039
00:56:20,443 --> 00:56:24,414
[Vic] Baron Corbin and Wes Lee
still to come in our main event.

1040
00:56:25,749 --> 00:56:27,650
[indistinct]

1041
00:56:28,518 --> 00:56:32,522
[music]

1042
00:56:38,595 --> 00:56:40,397
[female announcer]
Making their way to the ring,

1043
00:56:40,563 --> 00:56:46,970
[indistinct] Bronco Nima
and Lucien Price, OTM.

1044
00:56:48,138 --> 00:56:50,640
[Vic] Booker,
I wanna get you in a mindset there,

1045
00:56:50,807 --> 00:56:56,513
I want to know, of these two teams,
which would you not want to face?

1046
00:56:56,713 --> 00:56:59,549
-[Booker T laughs]
-[Vic] This is going to be a fight.

1047
00:56:59,616 --> 00:57:00,884
[Booker T] Both of them.

1048
00:57:00,950 --> 00:57:03,686
You look at Butch,
I never seen this guy smile once.

1049
00:57:03,753 --> 00:57:07,023
He will bite you.
He will spit anything it takes to win.

1050
00:57:07,090 --> 00:57:11,594
I like it.
And these two, you bite and leave him.

1051
00:57:11,661 --> 00:57:13,329
-[Vic] Nima.
-[Booker T] Lima?

1052
00:57:13,396 --> 00:57:15,165
[Vic] Nima. You better say that right.

1053
00:57:15,231 --> 00:57:17,634
I mean, we're about to find out
who you'd be fighting here in a second.

1054
00:57:18,301 --> 00:57:20,236
[Booker T] Well, look. Out the mud.

1055
00:57:20,403 --> 00:57:26,176
They about to move uptown, man,
to that deluxe apartment in the sky.

1056
00:57:26,242 --> 00:57:28,111
You know what I'm talking about.

1057
00:57:28,178 --> 00:57:31,848
[Vic] Look, Butch coming right in.
And they are wasting in time.

1058
00:57:31,915 --> 00:57:32,849
We knew this was going to be a fight.

1059
00:57:32,916 --> 00:57:34,451
We knew this was gonna be a scrap.

1060
00:57:34,517 --> 00:57:36,786
We knew this was gonna be
a hard-hitting fair.

1061
00:57:36,853 --> 00:57:38,688
These two teams are built for a fight.

1062
00:57:38,755 --> 00:57:42,392
How would they stand
inside a structure like the War Games?

1063
00:57:42,459 --> 00:57:44,093
Butch, of course,
has competed in War Games.

1064
00:57:44,160 --> 00:57:46,129
[Booker T] Both these teams
would be perfect for War Games

1065
00:57:46,196 --> 00:57:47,931
because one, they're so young.

1066
00:57:47,997 --> 00:57:51,734
They don't know what a match
like WarGames really entails,

1067
00:57:51,801 --> 00:57:54,904
how you are going to walk out
in a situation like that.

1068
00:57:54,971 --> 00:57:56,973
But let me tell you, Butch, he don't care.

1069
00:57:57,040 --> 00:57:58,208
[Vic] He certainly does not.

1070
00:57:58,274 --> 00:58:01,744
Survivor Series, of course,
a week from Saturday in Chicago.

1071
00:58:01,811 --> 00:58:03,646
And we got a little bit of a stalemate.

1072
00:58:03,713 --> 00:58:06,616
[Booker T] You don't want to mess
with Ridge Holland.

1073
00:58:06,683 --> 00:58:08,785
Breathe on this, kid. You might get hurt.

1074
00:58:08,852 --> 00:58:09,953
[Vic] Count him out.

1075
00:58:10,019 --> 00:58:15,258
[crowd] One, two, three, four,
six, seven, eight.

1076
00:58:16,993 --> 00:58:20,563
[Vic] Not too many can say
they have stopped Butch

1077
00:58:20,763 --> 00:58:22,532
and Holland in their tracks.

1078
00:58:22,599 --> 00:58:25,101
[Booker T] You're talking about
a mean, mean individual.

1079
00:58:25,168 --> 00:58:27,070
Look at this young man.
Look at the strength.

1080
00:58:27,136 --> 00:58:29,038
That a gangsta, dawg.

1081
00:58:30,039 --> 00:58:31,975
[Vic] And just like that,

1082
00:58:32,609 --> 00:58:35,211
Bronco, Nima, and Lucian Price.

1083
00:58:35,278 --> 00:58:39,482
[Booker T] Nima and Price,
these boys can take over, man. I like it.

1084
00:58:39,549 --> 00:58:42,685
It was, whoops, it was close. Oh, yeah.

1085
00:58:42,752 --> 00:58:45,622
[Vic] The issue stems from the Bada Bing,
Bada Boom, Battle Royal.

1086
00:58:45,688 --> 00:58:48,625
"Don't you preach to me,
stay out of others' business."

1087
00:58:48,691 --> 00:58:52,595
So why didn't Scrypts
insert himself in that Battle Royal?

1088
00:58:52,662 --> 00:58:55,932
[Booker T] It was called advising, okay?

1089
00:58:55,999 --> 00:58:58,001
He is out here taking care of business.

1090
00:58:58,067 --> 00:59:02,272
He tried to take Nima and Price
all the way to the top.

1091
00:59:02,338 --> 00:59:06,075
I'm talking about champagne,
whiskey, caviar, all of that, man.

1092
00:59:06,276 --> 00:59:08,144
[Vic] That's the second time
you used that word.

1093
00:59:08,211 --> 00:59:10,113
[Booker T] And I'm going to use it
one more time!

1094
00:59:10,179 --> 00:59:12,382
[Vic] How many times have you seen Butch

1095
00:59:12,448 --> 00:59:15,184
in this dire of a situation?
Butch can't even get back to his feet.

1096
00:59:15,251 --> 00:59:18,521
[Booker T] Like I said,
you're looking at two bones too thick.

1097
00:59:18,588 --> 00:59:23,159
I mean, two guys just looking to come up.
And one thing about this business,

1098
00:59:23,226 --> 00:59:25,395
when somebody
don't want to give it to you,

1099
00:59:25,461 --> 00:59:27,130
you just got to take it.

1100
00:59:27,330 --> 00:59:29,766
[Vic] Well, speaking of that,
here comes Scrypts out of nowhere.

1101
00:59:29,832 --> 00:59:30,967
[Booker T] Beautiful.

1102
00:59:31,034 --> 00:59:33,336
That's what a good manager
is for right there.

1103
00:59:33,403 --> 00:59:35,772
[Vic] It's all about Ridge and Butch.

1104
00:59:35,838 --> 00:59:37,674
And Nima in the cover, hook to the leg.

1105
00:59:37,740 --> 00:59:39,943
Coming from Smack Down,
I'm going to go off what you just said.

1106
00:59:40,009 --> 00:59:42,612
How about the betrayal of Santos Escobar?

1107
00:59:42,679 --> 00:59:45,214
Tack goes out of Rey Mysterio.
You talk about taking it.

1108
00:59:45,281 --> 00:59:49,185
[Booker T] Look, I mean, let me tell you,
I could see that coming a mile away.

1109
00:59:49,485 --> 00:59:52,422
The jealousy of Santos Escobar
saying something like,

1110
00:59:52,789 --> 00:59:55,358
"Rey Mysterio's
steel with the stoke that he has."

1111
00:59:55,425 --> 00:59:57,327
Yeah, I could see that.

1112
00:59:57,393 --> 00:59:59,429
[Vic] You see the eyes of Price,

1113
01:00:00,630 --> 01:00:05,134
delivering that clothesline
with vengeance and fury.

1114
01:00:05,201 --> 01:00:07,403
[Booker T] You know what they say
about the eyes, right?

1115
01:00:07,470 --> 01:00:10,473
The eyes never lie, my friend.

1116
01:00:10,540 --> 01:00:14,210
[Vic] We kicked off tonight
with a Tag Team Championship match up.

1117
01:00:14,377 --> 01:00:15,979
-There are those eyes.
-[Booker T] Boom!

1118
01:00:16,346 --> 01:00:18,548
[Vic] There's that
devastating clothesline.

1119
01:00:18,615 --> 01:00:20,917
Kicked off the night
with a Tag Team title match

1120
01:00:20,984 --> 01:00:23,886
that crowned new Tag Team Champions,
The Don and Stacks.

1121
01:00:23,953 --> 01:00:27,657
You got to imagine they got their eyes
on this situation right here.

1122
01:00:27,724 --> 01:00:30,026
[Booker T] Yeah,
they better keep their eyes on it

1123
01:00:30,093 --> 01:00:33,062
because Nima and Price,
these are two guys looking to make a name

1124
01:00:33,129 --> 01:00:34,897
for themselves in this business.

1125
01:00:34,964 --> 01:00:37,600
I'm talking about
moving up that ladder quick.

1126
01:00:37,667 --> 01:00:39,969
[Vic] Tag was made,
double tags, here we go.

1127
01:00:40,636 --> 01:00:45,608
And we talk about impact,
sudden impact with Big Ridge.

1128
01:00:46,142 --> 01:00:48,111
And I think you agree with this:

1129
01:00:48,177 --> 01:00:52,181
Two different upbringings, but all four
of these men have the same mentality.

1130
01:00:52,248 --> 01:00:54,384
[Booker T] They've been in the streets
their whole lives.

1131
01:00:54,450 --> 01:00:58,488
They fight. You know the story
of Butch and Ridge Holland.

1132
01:00:58,554 --> 01:01:00,590
He is a player, man.

1133
01:01:00,656 --> 01:01:03,026
[indistinct]

1134
01:01:03,092 --> 01:01:05,628
[Vic] Look at Holland.
Look at him. Say that again.

1135
01:01:06,329 --> 01:01:07,397
Swinging around.

1136
01:01:07,563 --> 01:01:10,366
Think of the size of Lucian Price,
into the cover.

1137
01:01:10,433 --> 01:01:12,502
And Price powering out.

1138
01:01:12,568 --> 01:01:15,405
He's a former Division I
college football player

1139
01:01:15,605 --> 01:01:19,308
that Ridge Holland just swore with ease.

1140
01:01:21,110 --> 01:01:22,912
And it's back to live action.

1141
01:01:22,979 --> 01:01:25,248
[indistinct]

1142
01:01:25,314 --> 01:01:27,517
[Booker T] It's about
bringing the pain in him.

1143
01:01:27,583 --> 01:01:29,419
Whoa, whoa, check it out.

1144
01:01:29,719 --> 01:01:31,687
[Vic] Well, same can be said for Price.

1145
01:01:31,888 --> 01:01:34,057
Just throwing around Holland
but Butch made the tag.

1146
01:01:34,123 --> 01:01:38,094
Butch is legal. Step up, enziguri,
and now Butch just got manhandled.

1147
01:01:38,161 --> 01:01:40,830
[Booker T] I like these guys.

1148
01:01:40,897 --> 01:01:45,635
They remind me of somebody.
I just can't think of who it is right now.

1149
01:01:45,702 --> 01:01:47,036
Two brothers.

1150
01:01:47,103 --> 01:01:50,673
[Vic] Well, here you see
some Tag Team continuity.

1151
01:01:51,974 --> 01:01:54,043
-Delivering the pain.
-[Booker T] That's it.

1152
01:01:54,110 --> 01:01:55,745
-[Vic] Into the cover.
-[Booker T] That's it.

1153
01:01:55,812 --> 01:01:57,380
[Vic] And Butch just kicking out.

1154
01:01:57,447 --> 01:02:00,249
I don't know how Butch was able to do that

1155
01:02:00,450 --> 01:02:03,386
because I just looked up from the desk
into the eyes of Butch.

1156
01:02:03,553 --> 01:02:05,588
He didn't seem like he's all there.

1157
01:02:05,655 --> 01:02:07,290
[Booker T] Never seen Butch
in this much trouble, Vic.

1158
01:02:07,356 --> 01:02:09,792
Never seen him
like this before, in dire straits.

1159
01:02:09,859 --> 01:02:12,195
But he's a fighter.
He is not going to quit.

1160
01:02:12,261 --> 01:02:14,030
[Vic] And we got
our number two, Rich Holland.

1161
01:02:14,097 --> 01:02:15,398
I haven't seen him get back to his feet.

1162
01:02:15,465 --> 01:02:18,267
Butch is out and alone.
Butch, though, big blow.

1163
01:02:18,334 --> 01:02:19,635
Just knocked out Nima.

1164
01:02:21,637 --> 01:02:23,773
Feeding off the NXT Universe.

1165
01:02:23,840 --> 01:02:27,443
We knew this was going to be a fight.
We knew this was going to be a scrap.

1166
01:02:27,510 --> 01:02:30,012
[Booker T] Look at the quickness
of this big man.

1167
01:02:31,214 --> 01:02:34,984
[Vic] Oh, no matter how big you are
when your digits are getting bent.

1168
01:02:35,051 --> 01:02:36,853
[Booker T] Oh, man!

1169
01:02:40,089 --> 01:02:41,924
[Vic] Butch, does he have enough strength?

1170
01:02:42,992 --> 01:02:45,495
Tag was made. You talk about strength.

1171
01:02:45,728 --> 01:02:47,497
We certainly know
that Ridge Holland has it.

1172
01:02:47,697 --> 01:02:48,798
Right here!

1173
01:02:48,965 --> 01:02:50,700
[crowd] Wow!

1174
01:02:50,767 --> 01:02:52,268
[Vic] Butch wiping out Scrypts.

1175
01:02:52,769 --> 01:02:57,473
And Price Holland looking to play Nima.

1176
01:02:58,107 --> 01:02:59,108
Tag.

1177
01:02:59,542 --> 01:03:03,346
The Brawling Brutes
came for just that tonight. A brawl.

1178
01:03:03,412 --> 01:03:05,648
[Booker T] Double up, Vic. Double up.

1179
01:03:05,715 --> 01:03:07,083
One time. Oh, yes!

1180
01:03:07,150 --> 01:03:09,585
[Vic] Butch into the cover.

1181
01:03:10,686 --> 01:03:13,623
Brawling Brutes stand tall.

1182
01:03:14,724 --> 01:03:16,526
[female announcer] Here are your winners,

1183
01:03:16,592 --> 01:03:18,461
the Brawling Brutes!

1184
01:03:19,428 --> 01:03:26,135
[Vic] What a competitive,
hard-hitting Tag Team clash

1185
01:03:26,202 --> 01:03:29,338
with the Brawling Brutes standing tall.

1186
01:03:35,678 --> 01:03:39,215
I've been wandering aimlessly
like a man lost in the desert

1187
01:03:39,282 --> 01:03:42,084
looking for the last drop
of water that doesn't exist.

1188
01:03:42,351 --> 01:03:45,888
I've paid attention to the messages
rather than the people listening.

1189
01:03:46,255 --> 01:03:47,757
But that's just me.

1190
01:03:47,823 --> 01:03:50,660
I'm like a ghost wandering
the halls of NXT,

1191
01:03:50,726 --> 01:03:53,963
trying to find my place, my purpose.

1192
01:03:54,297 --> 01:03:55,965
And on nights like tonight,

1193
01:03:56,032 --> 01:04:00,503
I can feel the energy of the people
below me reverberate up through my feet.

1194
01:04:00,803 --> 01:04:05,074
The same people that label me
and try to put me into occupied spaces

1195
01:04:05,141 --> 01:04:08,511
because I seem like
I'm somebody familiar to them.

1196
01:04:08,578 --> 01:04:12,348
But I'm just me.
Nobody knows me. I don't fit in.

1197
01:04:12,815 --> 01:04:14,817
And this is where you get real.

1198
01:04:15,017 --> 01:04:18,855
I'm not here to burn any ships,
be the biggest dog in the yard

1199
01:04:18,921 --> 01:04:22,024
and inflict justice on anybody.
I'm not obsessed with the spotlight.

1200
01:04:22,291 --> 01:04:26,395
I'm me and I'm here right now.

1201
01:04:27,263 --> 01:04:29,365
Unhinged, maybe.

1202
01:04:29,599 --> 01:04:31,901
Maniac? I'm not here to argue that.

1203
01:04:32,068 --> 01:04:35,538
But this is where it begins
and this is where it ends.

1204
01:04:35,605 --> 01:04:37,640
Maybe this is where I let go.

1205
01:04:38,040 --> 01:04:40,276
Then again, maybe it's not.

1206
01:04:48,050 --> 01:04:50,286
[Vic] Somebody's got to get
Gacy off the roof.

1207
01:04:50,353 --> 01:04:52,088
What is he doing up there?

1208
01:04:53,389 --> 01:04:56,893
[music]

1209
01:05:01,197 --> 01:05:02,398
[bell ringing]

1210
01:05:02,465 --> 01:05:05,201
[female announcer] The following contest
is scheduled for one fall.

1211
01:05:05,268 --> 01:05:08,204
Introducing first, Gigi Dolin.

1212
01:05:08,804 --> 01:05:11,307
[Vic] Sometimes you wonder if you want
to really get in the mind of Joe Gacy

1213
01:05:11,374 --> 01:05:13,643
and then you see
and hear things like that.

1214
01:05:13,709 --> 01:05:16,746
But what we're about to see next
is a one-on-one encounter

1215
01:05:16,812 --> 01:05:19,348
after what happened earlier tonight.
An argument between these two

1216
01:05:19,415 --> 01:05:23,719
have led to this one-on-one match.
Dolin Grace next on NXT.

1217
01:05:28,157 --> 01:05:32,261
[Vic] We just saw what our NXT
Women's Champion posted on X.

1218
01:05:32,328 --> 01:05:36,132
Lyra Valkyria is ready to defend her title

1219
01:05:36,198 --> 01:05:39,335
against Xia Li in this showdown.

1220
01:05:39,402 --> 01:05:42,038
-Booker, are you ready for this?
-[Booker T] Yeah, man.

1221
01:05:42,204 --> 01:05:46,042
[Vic] Xia Li versus Lyra Valkyria
after what we saw in that tea ceremony.

1222
01:05:46,108 --> 01:05:48,110
These two are going
to tear the house down.

1223
01:05:48,277 --> 01:05:49,845
[Booker T] Wouldn't rather be
anywhere in the world, man.

1224
01:05:52,615 --> 01:05:57,620
[female announcer]
And her opponent, Arianna Grace!

1225
01:05:58,521 --> 01:06:00,489
[Vic] Between Joe Gacy,

1226
01:06:01,590 --> 01:06:05,928
the expose we just saw from Lyra Valkyria
and what we've heard from Arianna Grace,

1227
01:06:05,995 --> 01:06:08,397
I'm trying to stay focused right now
because my head's going

1228
01:06:08,464 --> 01:06:12,435
in a lot of different directions here.
Can you help Arianna Grace out?

1229
01:06:13,135 --> 01:06:15,171
She wants to know
why everything ends in a fight.

1230
01:06:15,771 --> 01:06:18,207
[Booker T] I'm wondering why
we are having this match as well.

1231
01:06:18,274 --> 01:06:22,979
What did she do other
than being the rookie in the locker room?

1232
01:06:23,212 --> 01:06:26,349
You know that old saying,
"know your role and shut your mouth."

1233
01:06:26,415 --> 01:06:28,684
-Maybe that's it.
-[Vic] Maybe so.

1234
01:06:30,186 --> 01:06:33,489
Gigi Dolin just got caught
by surprise there.

1235
01:06:33,556 --> 01:06:36,459
Do you feel bad for Grace?

1236
01:06:36,525 --> 01:06:39,328
-[Booker T] Why would I feel bad?
-[Vic] That she is misunderstood?

1237
01:06:39,395 --> 01:06:41,297
[Booker T] She's misunderstood
because of that pageant life.

1238
01:06:41,364 --> 01:06:42,298
[Vic] Shoulder down.

1239
01:06:42,365 --> 01:06:44,967
[Booker T] Most people don't know
that pageant life and how tough it is.

1240
01:06:45,034 --> 01:06:47,603
Me personally,
I know from a personal perspective,

1241
01:06:47,670 --> 01:06:51,874
having married Miss America, my queen.

1242
01:06:51,941 --> 01:06:54,677
So trust me, I know how tough it is.

1243
01:06:54,744 --> 01:06:56,579
[Vic] I'll pick that up for you, Booker.

1244
01:06:56,645 --> 01:06:58,247
If you drop that,
we'll pick that name up for you.

1245
01:06:58,914 --> 01:07:03,419
Grace controlling right now.
Gigi Dolin getting back into the match up.

1246
01:07:03,486 --> 01:07:07,757
Look, she is not going to take kindly
to Grace calling her uneducated.

1247
01:07:07,823 --> 01:07:11,193
That's where this issue
stems from earlier tonight.

1248
01:07:11,260 --> 01:07:13,662
You can't take shots like that
and not expect--

1249
01:07:13,729 --> 01:07:16,465
[Booker T] Like I said, the pageants
that Arianna Grace has been in,

1250
01:07:16,532 --> 01:07:18,834
she has always
had to answer those questions,

1251
01:07:18,901 --> 01:07:20,035
those pivotal questions,
Talking about certain people.

1252
01:07:20,102 --> 01:07:24,140
She sees something in Gigi Dolin,
perhaps you and I don't.

1253
01:07:24,206 --> 01:07:26,876
-Oh, oh, wow.
-[Vic] Near fall.

1254
01:07:26,942 --> 01:07:28,878
Let's also take a look
at the two superstars.

1255
01:07:28,944 --> 01:07:31,814
-[Booker T] Look at that!
-[Vic] Off the big right.

1256
01:07:31,881 --> 01:07:34,250
Into the cover.
Hook of the leg. Near fall.

1257
01:07:34,316 --> 01:07:36,552
[Booker T] That's training now, Vic.
That's strength.

1258
01:07:36,719 --> 01:07:40,322
[Vic] This is a good chance for both
these superstars to showcase themselves.

1259
01:07:40,389 --> 01:07:43,159
They could sway
one of the Hall of Fame selectors,

1260
01:07:43,325 --> 01:07:46,128
get themselves into a qualifying match.
Booker, see where I'm going here?

1261
01:07:46,195 --> 01:07:47,730
-[Booker T] Yes.
-[Vic] For the Iron Survivor.

1262
01:07:47,897 --> 01:07:50,032
[Booker T] Definitely.
Arianna Grace is looking--

1263
01:07:50,099 --> 01:07:51,500
[Vic] And into another cover.

1264
01:07:51,567 --> 01:07:54,670
[Booker] The situation.
She's not just beautiful,

1265
01:07:54,737 --> 01:07:56,038
she's looking great.

1266
01:07:56,105 --> 01:07:58,641
[Vic] NXT Deadline Saturday,
December th 9th.

1267
01:07:58,707 --> 01:08:00,576
Tickets on sale at ticketmaster.com.

1268
01:08:00,643 --> 01:08:04,046
To your point, Grace is looking
really good in this moment.

1269
01:08:04,113 --> 01:08:06,482
Dolin from behind,
shoulders down. Another near fall.

1270
01:08:06,549 --> 01:08:08,384
[Booker T] Gigi scouted
that one to the wheel

1271
01:08:08,451 --> 01:08:10,653
just one too many times, Arianna.

1272
01:08:10,719 --> 01:08:13,522
[Vic] Oh, backslide.
Will it be enough? No.

1273
01:08:13,589 --> 01:08:16,325
When this all began, we talk about,
with that backstage argument

1274
01:08:16,392 --> 01:08:18,928
with the inside cradle,
center of the ring. Another near fall.

1275
01:08:18,994 --> 01:08:22,498
All it all began because Kiana James
came into the locker room,

1276
01:08:22,565 --> 01:08:26,936
was flaunting, was bragging to everyone
that she took out, Roxanne Perez.

1277
01:08:27,002 --> 01:08:28,637
That's a little presumptuous,
don't you think?

1278
01:08:28,704 --> 01:08:31,240
[Booker T] It was,
but you've got to take your shots.

1279
01:08:31,307 --> 01:08:33,709
Kiana James, she is a hater.

1280
01:08:33,776 --> 01:08:36,212
But that's what
this business is all about.

1281
01:08:38,481 --> 01:08:42,151
[Vic] Dolin now into the cover,
goes Arianna Grace.

1282
01:08:42,218 --> 01:08:44,753
You saw grace wasn't sure whether
she wanted to lock in a submission,

1283
01:08:44,820 --> 01:08:46,722
go for the cover. She went for the win.

1284
01:08:46,789 --> 01:08:50,292
[Booker T] No, Vic, I'm looking
at the technique of Arianna Grace.

1285
01:08:50,359 --> 01:08:51,894
She is sound, man.

1286
01:08:51,961 --> 01:08:57,800
I'm gonna tell you, a win over Gigi Dolin
puts her right in the conversation.

1287
01:08:57,867 --> 01:08:58,901
Oh, yeah!

1288
01:08:58,968 --> 01:09:01,604
[Vic] That goes back to the Iron Survivor
matches we saw too tonight.

1289
01:09:01,670 --> 01:09:05,574
Congratulations! Lash Legend, qualified,
Trick Williams, qualified as well.

1290
01:09:05,641 --> 01:09:07,042
They are headed to Deadline.

1291
01:09:07,109 --> 01:09:09,945
And look, Arianna Grace
has put it together in this match up.

1292
01:09:10,012 --> 01:09:12,348
She was called delusional earlier tonight.

1293
01:09:12,414 --> 01:09:15,651
I don't think she is that delusional
as Lee or Dolin may think.

1294
01:09:15,718 --> 01:09:17,686
-[Booker T] Can I say it?
-[Vic] Go for it.

1295
01:09:17,753 --> 01:09:19,688
[Booker T] Grace's looking
very graceful tonight.

1296
01:09:19,755 --> 01:09:22,358
[Vic] Again, that's why
they pay you the big bucks.

1297
01:09:22,424 --> 01:09:25,828
There comes Dolin,
and Dolin right now firing right back.

1298
01:09:26,462 --> 01:09:30,232
Gigi Dolin said
she wants to express herself.

1299
01:09:30,299 --> 01:09:32,701
Into the cover, hook of the leg, and--

1300
01:09:32,902 --> 01:09:36,805
[Booker T] That close one
had a whole lot of momentum behind it,

1301
01:09:36,872 --> 01:09:39,108
trying to get Arianna out of there, Vic.

1302
01:09:39,175 --> 01:09:42,077
[Vic] Dolin, I think,
has been in for a little bit of a--

1303
01:09:42,144 --> 01:09:44,480
didn't think she was going to get
this much of a fight. Backslide.

1304
01:09:44,680 --> 01:09:47,116
-And look at grace!
-[Booker T] Wow, wow!

1305
01:09:48,150 --> 01:09:49,985
What a move.

1306
01:09:50,052 --> 01:09:51,787
[Vic] Fire officials
are doing a darn good job--

1307
01:09:52,021 --> 01:09:54,423
[Booker T] What a move, give her credit.

1308
01:09:54,490 --> 01:09:57,326
[Vic] What a move,
what a big knockout blow.

1309
01:09:57,393 --> 01:10:00,763
And Dolin now,
looking for the finishing touches.

1310
01:10:00,829 --> 01:10:05,234
Shoulders down.
That is a massive win for Gigi Dolin.

1311
01:10:06,135 --> 01:10:09,838
[female announcer]
Here is your winner, Gigi Dolin!

1312
01:10:10,072 --> 01:10:12,741
[Vic] I take nothing away
from Arianna Grace.

1313
01:10:12,808 --> 01:10:17,079
She may talk and tag too much.
But for Gigi Dolin tonight,

1314
01:10:17,246 --> 01:10:21,183
she let her in-ring ability
do the talking for her.

1315
01:10:21,250 --> 01:10:24,253
And look, the official here,
I want to point this out one more time.

1316
01:10:24,420 --> 01:10:27,256
The official's in great position,
looking up,

1317
01:10:27,489 --> 01:10:31,760
because for all intents and purposes,
Ariana Grace could have the victory there.

1318
01:10:31,827 --> 01:10:34,830
Dolin would see the door open,
and then, bam,

1319
01:10:34,897 --> 01:10:38,367
would quickly close it to earn a victory.

1320
01:10:38,434 --> 01:10:39,802
And for Gigi Dolin,

1321
01:10:40,436 --> 01:10:44,540
all the ups and downs
she has gone through in recent weeks,

1322
01:10:44,607 --> 01:10:49,011
it must feel very good for Dolin
to be back in the winner's circle.

1323
01:10:49,178 --> 01:10:53,115
What's Grace doing? Is she okay?

1324
01:10:54,183 --> 01:10:57,453
[music]

1325
01:10:58,354 --> 01:11:01,390
[Vic] Yes!
That means more than any victory

1326
01:11:01,590 --> 01:11:04,860
for Von Wagner and Mr. Stone.

1327
01:11:05,127 --> 01:11:08,397
[man] This story of a journey
towards respect and friendship

1328
01:11:08,464 --> 01:11:10,633
started with a simple photograph.

1329
01:11:10,699 --> 01:11:16,905
Two men, Von Wagner and Mr. Stone,
started their WWE careers on the same day.

1330
01:11:16,972 --> 01:11:18,874
Total strangers,

1331
01:11:18,941 --> 01:11:21,877
unknowing their lives
would one day be connected.

1332
01:11:23,112 --> 01:11:25,948
Initially, both found failure
rather than success.

1333
01:11:26,849 --> 01:11:29,351
With a common bond
of rubbing people the wrong way,

1334
01:11:29,418 --> 01:11:32,388
these two superstars joined forces.

1335
01:11:32,454 --> 01:11:35,424
[Stone] Von Wagner
is a future world champion.

1336
01:11:35,491 --> 01:11:38,327
And Robert Stone
could help make that happen.

1337
01:11:38,594 --> 01:11:42,865
[man] Trust was slowly being built
with each passing mile traveled together.

1338
01:11:43,198 --> 01:11:48,237
It was Stone who recognized the duo
had plateaued and pushed for more.

1339
01:11:48,304 --> 01:11:52,274
After multiple failed attempts,
Von let his guard down

1340
01:11:52,341 --> 01:11:56,612
and bared his soul to Stone
and to NXT Universe.

1341
01:11:56,679 --> 01:11:57,980
[Von] The scarring on my head was bad.

1342
01:11:58,047 --> 01:12:00,983
Kids, they used to call me a monster.

1343
01:12:01,050 --> 01:12:04,887
When I looked in the mirror,
I did look different.

1344
01:12:07,122 --> 01:12:09,558
[man] Finally comfortable in his own skin,

1345
01:12:09,625 --> 01:12:15,230
Von was confronted by a grown version
of the same bullies Von faced as a child.

1346
01:12:16,031 --> 01:12:17,666
[Vic] Bron Breakker!

1347
01:12:17,733 --> 01:12:19,368
[Breakker]
I'm gonna shoot you straight, Von.

1348
01:12:19,435 --> 01:12:20,436
You are a nobody.

1349
01:12:20,502 --> 01:12:25,174
You know that picture when you were a kid?
You think that was bad?

1350
01:12:25,708 --> 01:12:27,743
Wait until I'm done with you.

1351
01:12:37,386 --> 01:12:41,623
[man] Supported by stone,
Von faced his fears head on.

1352
01:12:41,690 --> 01:12:43,659
When the future looked bleak,

1353
01:12:43,726 --> 01:12:47,896
it was Stone's willingness
to go to battle for his friend

1354
01:12:47,963 --> 01:12:52,468
that was the final confirmation to Von
that Stone was not just a friend.

1355
01:12:52,701 --> 01:12:54,303
But family.

1356
01:12:54,370 --> 01:12:58,140
[Stone] You stepped up for me,
but now it's time for me to end this.

1357
01:12:58,207 --> 01:13:00,209
Breakker's gonna pay!

1358
01:13:05,280 --> 01:13:09,151
[man] With a shattered table
and a fallen foe beneath their feet,

1359
01:13:09,218 --> 01:13:12,154
two men who started on the same day

1360
01:13:12,221 --> 01:13:17,993
shared a heart and showed the world
how far they've come together.

1361
01:13:22,164 --> 01:13:27,836
A lot of memories. A lot of history.
Wow. That is some powerful stuff.

1362
01:13:28,270 --> 01:13:31,840
Yeah, we have been through a lot, man.
I have been meaning to tell you--

1363
01:13:31,907 --> 01:13:35,077
You know what? Don't worry, okay?
You're welcome.

1364
01:13:35,477 --> 01:13:38,280
-Are you all right?
-Yeah, I'm fine.

1365
01:13:39,281 --> 01:13:43,051
Why don't you come to my house
for dinner with my family, Von?

1366
01:13:44,553 --> 01:13:50,225
Stone, if your wife makes that pasta
again with those little sausages,

1367
01:13:50,592 --> 01:13:54,229
with those sausages, I'm telling you,
I love those. I will be there.

1368
01:13:54,396 --> 01:13:57,599
-I'm down. Two plates.
-I'll text her now.

1369
01:13:57,666 --> 01:13:59,635
-Double down on that.
-I got you.

1370
01:13:59,835 --> 01:14:05,741
Hey, Stone. Easy on the asparagus though.
No joke. Cut that out. Please.

1371
01:14:06,408 --> 01:14:08,043
Asparagus sucks.

1372
01:14:09,144 --> 01:14:12,214
[Vic] They should take it
another step in the right direction.

1373
01:14:12,281 --> 01:14:14,316
But look, Wes Lee is returning.

1374
01:14:14,550 --> 01:14:18,454
A few weeks ago, he's ready to lock up
and again prove someone wrong,

1375
01:14:18,520 --> 01:14:22,825
that someone being Baron Corbin,
who looks to burn down another ship.

1376
01:14:22,991 --> 01:14:24,626
Lee and Corbin next.

1377
01:14:27,930 --> 01:14:29,565
I'm now joined by Eddie Thorpe

1378
01:14:29,631 --> 01:14:32,601
and Eddie,
you've had a big rise in NXT in 2023.

1379
01:14:32,768 --> 01:14:35,304
But we haven't seen you in a few weeks.
Where have you been?

1380
01:14:35,571 --> 01:14:37,673
This year's been a trip.

1381
01:14:37,739 --> 01:14:41,210
The last time the NXT Universe
saw me was the strat match with Dijak

1382
01:14:41,276 --> 01:14:44,646
and I may have won that match,
but it depleted me.

1383
01:14:44,947 --> 01:14:47,216
Physically and mentally.

1384
01:14:47,449 --> 01:14:50,819
So I had to take time to recharge,
get outside, be where I like to be,

1385
01:14:50,886 --> 01:14:53,822
and listen to my brouhaha.
But I am 100% now.

1386
01:14:54,122 --> 01:14:56,525
And I want to show JBL
and Jerry Lawler who are watching

1387
01:14:56,758 --> 01:14:59,161
and choosing qualifiers
for the Iron Survivor Challenge

1388
01:14:59,461 --> 01:15:01,864
-that I'm ready to go.
-[Charlie] Hey, Eddy!

1389
01:15:03,799 --> 01:15:06,335
If you think you're 100%

1390
01:15:06,635 --> 01:15:09,404
and you're getting into
that Iron Survivor Challenge match,

1391
01:15:09,805 --> 01:15:12,307
you are as delusional as Joe Gacy.

1392
01:15:12,808 --> 01:15:15,911
Eddy, I'm gonna stretch you
out in that ring in no time

1393
01:15:15,978 --> 01:15:17,479
and show no quarter.

1394
01:15:18,347 --> 01:15:19,681
You know what, Charlie?

1395
01:15:19,748 --> 01:15:23,252
For years, the toughest men in the world
have tried to stretch me,

1396
01:15:23,318 --> 01:15:25,621
but they never broke me
because I'm a fighter.

1397
01:15:27,022 --> 01:15:29,424
It's not because you're a fighter
you never got broken, Eddie.

1398
01:15:29,691 --> 01:15:33,862
It's because you never stepped
into the ring with people like us.

1399
01:15:34,062 --> 01:15:35,497
Mm-hmm.

1400
01:15:37,599 --> 01:15:39,301
We'll see about that.

1401
01:15:40,435 --> 01:15:43,238
[press crowd speaking at once]

1402
01:15:43,405 --> 01:15:46,942
Obviously, I'm devastated
we lost the Tag Team title.

1403
01:15:47,509 --> 01:15:49,177
At this moment, I have no further comment.

1404
01:15:49,378 --> 01:15:51,580
[press crowd speaking at once]

1405
01:15:51,847 --> 01:15:53,315
[car horn]

1406
01:15:53,382 --> 01:15:59,655
Let him through! Chase, come on!
Get in. Quick! Let's go!

1407
01:16:06,528 --> 01:16:10,699
[man] NXT is a brand focusing
on developing the superstars of tomorrow,

1408
01:16:10,766 --> 01:16:13,902
but also a brand focused on innovation.

1409
01:16:13,969 --> 01:16:16,305
On Saturday, December 9th at NXT Deadline,

1410
01:16:16,371 --> 01:16:20,475
NXT will once again present
a truly revolutionary match.

1411
01:16:20,542 --> 01:16:22,644
The Iron Survivor Challenge.

1412
01:16:22,711 --> 01:16:25,347
There will be two
Iron Survivor Challenges.

1413
01:16:25,414 --> 01:16:28,116
One for the men and one for the women.

1414
01:16:28,951 --> 01:16:32,020
Five superstars will compete
in this unique 25-minute match

1415
01:16:32,087 --> 01:16:35,324
where they will battle
each other and the clock.

1416
01:16:35,390 --> 01:16:38,493
Two superstars will start the match,
then every five minutes,

1417
01:16:38,560 --> 01:16:43,198
another superstar will join the match
until all five are in the ring.

1418
01:16:43,265 --> 01:16:45,834
The goal of the match
is to have the most falls

1419
01:16:45,901 --> 01:16:48,370
when the clock hits 25 minutes.

1420
01:16:48,437 --> 01:16:51,640
Falls could be won at any time
via pinfall, submission

1421
01:16:51,707 --> 01:16:53,608
or disqualification.

1422
01:16:53,675 --> 01:16:56,178
When a superstar wins a fall,
they earn a point.

1423
01:16:56,378 --> 01:17:00,282
When they lose a fall,
they must pay the penalty.

1424
01:17:00,449 --> 01:17:04,553
They are forced out of the ring
and into the penalty box for 90 seconds.

1425
01:17:04,620 --> 01:17:08,590
Once the 90 seconds are up,
that superstar can re-enter the match.

1426
01:17:08,657 --> 01:17:13,462
The superstar who scores the most falls
when the clock hits 25 minutes

1427
01:17:13,528 --> 01:17:17,966
will be named the Iron Survivor
and become number one contender

1428
01:17:18,033 --> 01:17:20,168
for the NXT championship.

1429
01:17:21,336 --> 01:17:24,606
Two men and two women
have already qualified.

1430
01:17:24,673 --> 01:17:28,477
The question is, which
superstars will JBL select

1431
01:17:28,543 --> 01:17:30,646
for next week's qualifying matches?

1432
01:17:30,712 --> 01:17:34,149
The former WWE champion
is now on the clock

1433
01:17:34,216 --> 01:17:39,655
as the countdown to NXT Deadline
on Saturday, December 9th, continues.

1434
01:17:42,491 --> 01:17:45,460
[Vic] Deadline tickets on sale
now at ticketmaster.com.

1435
01:17:45,527 --> 01:17:47,663
But after a very unique tea ceremony,

1436
01:17:47,729 --> 01:17:51,333
Lyra Valkyria will have her first defense
against a determined Xia Lee.

1437
01:17:51,500 --> 01:17:54,603
Will Lee deliver another knockout
or will Valkyria soar?

1438
01:17:54,670 --> 01:17:57,973
NXT Women's Championship
on the line next week,

1439
01:17:58,340 --> 01:18:01,209
Speaking of championships,
Chad Cable was a guest

1440
01:18:01,276 --> 01:18:03,545
on the Supernova Sessions
earlier in the week

1441
01:18:03,612 --> 01:18:06,081
and next Tuesday he will face
Noam Dar for the Heritage Cup.

1442
01:18:06,148 --> 01:18:10,619
Two championship matches
next week here on NXT.

1443
01:18:12,421 --> 01:18:15,190
[Vic] Booker,
it is main event time this week!

1444
01:18:15,724 --> 01:18:19,294
[music]

1445
01:18:22,130 --> 01:18:23,131
[bell ringing]

1446
01:18:23,198 --> 01:18:26,234
[female announcer] The following contest
is scheduled for one fall.

1447
01:18:26,601 --> 01:18:29,137
Introducing first, Wes Lee.

1448
01:18:29,871 --> 01:18:31,473
[Vic] Booker,
I want to ask you a question,

1449
01:18:31,540 --> 01:18:33,909
kind of a deeper question
than I normally do.

1450
01:18:33,975 --> 01:18:37,879
All joking aside,
it's been a lot of differences of opinions

1451
01:18:37,946 --> 01:18:39,848
when it comes to Wes Lee.

1452
01:18:39,915 --> 01:18:43,685
But was Wes right
to step away for a few months?

1453
01:18:44,386 --> 01:18:49,224
[Booker T] You know, it's all about
taking care of your body, Vic.

1454
01:18:49,291 --> 01:18:53,295
But they also say time off
is your worst enemy.

1455
01:18:53,562 --> 01:18:55,230
And I believe that.

1456
01:18:55,597 --> 01:18:59,534
So I'm glad Wes Lee
has got back on the horse.

1457
01:18:59,768 --> 01:19:01,870
Let's get it done. Let's go!

1458
01:19:02,804 --> 01:19:07,142
[Vic] Wes Lee coming back
in a big way here tonight.

1459
01:19:13,915 --> 01:19:18,019
The question will be,
will there be any ring rust on Wes Lee?

1460
01:19:18,086 --> 01:19:20,088
[Booker T] Oh, yeah. I mean, come on.

1461
01:19:20,155 --> 01:19:22,157
[crowd booing]

1462
01:19:22,524 --> 01:19:26,528
[music]

1463
01:19:31,566 --> 01:19:36,238
[female announcer]
And his opponent, Baron Corbin!

1464
01:19:36,471 --> 01:19:40,041
[Vic] Corbin has burned
it all to the ground.

1465
01:19:40,108 --> 01:19:41,643
He has started over.

1466
01:19:41,710 --> 01:19:43,979
And Booker,
you think he's on the right path?

1467
01:19:44,646 --> 01:19:48,016
You think he is righting his ship,
so to speak?

1468
01:19:48,083 --> 01:19:51,052
[Booker T] That lone wolf.
Watch your back, son.

1469
01:19:52,053 --> 01:19:56,791
Because this dude, this wolf,
he's on the hunt, dawg.

1470
01:19:57,692 --> 01:20:01,229
[Vic] You saw Wes Lee
lock his eyes on Baron Corbin.

1471
01:20:01,797 --> 01:20:04,599
These two have had a war of words.

1472
01:20:05,267 --> 01:20:07,102
There's an obvious size advantage.

1473
01:20:07,402 --> 01:20:10,839
Nothing has ever stopped
Wes Lee in the past.

1474
01:20:11,840 --> 01:20:14,242
But you also can't deny, though, Booker,

1475
01:20:14,309 --> 01:20:16,344
you talk about taking time.
You talk about rest.

1476
01:20:16,411 --> 01:20:18,413
-You just mentioned over the years.
-[Booker T] Yes, yes.

1477
01:20:18,480 --> 01:20:20,549
[Vic] You can't deny
the pace that Wes Lee was on

1478
01:20:20,615 --> 01:20:22,818
when he was
the NXT North American Champion.

1479
01:20:22,884 --> 01:20:25,620
The pace he was on defending
and retaining that title,

1480
01:20:25,687 --> 01:20:26,922
it was unheard of.

1481
01:20:27,122 --> 01:20:31,560
[Booker T] Here's one thing
you can't replace, and that's being young.

1482
01:20:31,793 --> 01:20:35,297
And Wes Lee, he's about
going out there and creating that legacy,

1483
01:20:35,363 --> 01:20:37,899
making history. And I love that
about this young man.

1484
01:20:38,900 --> 01:20:40,635
-He's a fighter.
-[Vic] He certainly is.

1485
01:20:40,702 --> 01:20:43,171
He's going right to the body
here on Baron Corbin, look.

1486
01:20:43,605 --> 01:20:47,008
As you've said in the past, Corbin could
throw hands with the best of them.

1487
01:20:47,075 --> 01:20:50,111
[Booker T] Yeah, but not the right idea
with a Golden Glove boxer,

1488
01:20:50,178 --> 01:20:52,180
a guy who is a champion at that level.

1489
01:20:52,247 --> 01:20:54,916
So you don't want to take that right.
Oh, yes.

1490
01:20:54,983 --> 01:20:57,586
[crowd chanting] Wes Lee!

1491
01:20:57,652 --> 01:20:59,754
[Vic] Just like that
in just a blink of an eye,

1492
01:20:59,921 --> 01:21:01,456
Baron Corbin can turn things around.

1493
01:21:01,523 --> 01:21:04,092
And there's a right hand
in the knees rattled,

1494
01:21:04,259 --> 01:21:07,095
spaghetti legs, so to speak, for Wes Lee.

1495
01:21:07,162 --> 01:21:08,830
[Booker T] You talk about
that ringless man,

1496
01:21:08,897 --> 01:21:12,734
there's nothing you can really do
to simulate real-time combat.

1497
01:21:12,801 --> 01:21:15,136
You can't get on a treadmill
or anything like that.

1498
01:21:15,203 --> 01:21:17,606
You're going to be
in the middle of that 12-circle, man.

1499
01:21:17,672 --> 01:21:19,941
[Vic] There's Corbi,
who ran into "Dirty" Dom earlier.

1500
01:21:20,008 --> 01:21:22,544
Brought up the weight of bodies.
He has left.

1501
01:21:22,611 --> 01:21:25,680
Can he leave another one
laying tonight in the form of Wes Lee?

1502
01:21:25,880 --> 01:21:28,617
Lee right now
has Baron Corbin down for a moment.

1503
01:21:28,817 --> 01:21:31,586
And when Corbin's down to a knee,
he's the same size as Wes Lee.

1504
01:21:31,753 --> 01:21:33,655
This is working to Wes' advantage!

1505
01:21:33,955 --> 01:21:37,626
Corbin quickly to power out at one.
Wes Lee called his shot.

1506
01:21:37,692 --> 01:21:41,096
He hit the target
on the back of Dirty Dom.

1507
01:21:41,263 --> 01:21:44,766
[Booker T] Wes Lee trying
to slow the momentum down a little bit

1508
01:21:44,833 --> 01:21:49,204
tells me he is wondering
how much gas he has in the tank.

1509
01:21:49,271 --> 01:21:51,473
Full bench up like this. Oh, wow!

1510
01:21:51,539 --> 01:21:54,809
[Vic] A suplex showcases
the strength from Baron Corbin.

1511
01:21:54,876 --> 01:21:57,178
So you think in this match up
Wes Lee's at a disadvantage

1512
01:21:57,245 --> 01:21:59,381
-through that sabbatical?
-[Booker T] I really do.

1513
01:21:59,447 --> 01:22:04,286
As well as Baron Corbin, he's not here
to play games with these guys.

1514
01:22:04,352 --> 01:22:07,889
He is here to make a point,
to let everybody in the locker room.

1515
01:22:07,956 --> 01:22:09,524
You all know this, man

1516
01:22:09,591 --> 01:22:12,427
[Vic] Look, Wes Lee's
a little bit quicker than Baron Corbin.

1517
01:22:12,494 --> 01:22:15,563
We all know that. He's going to have
to use that to his advantage.

1518
01:22:15,630 --> 01:22:17,232
He may have just knocked
the wind out of Corbin.

1519
01:22:17,299 --> 01:22:18,900
Going for the kick
and Corbin just kicked out

1520
01:22:19,067 --> 01:22:20,368
and sent Lee almost to the floor.

1521
01:22:22,137 --> 01:22:24,973
Big shot right to the stomach again,
driving that air out.

1522
01:22:25,173 --> 01:22:27,475
And look at Lee.
back to his feet, coming right back in.

1523
01:22:27,542 --> 01:22:30,345
And this is that quick pace,
this is that fast action,

1524
01:22:30,545 --> 01:22:35,150
and athleticism. Wes Lee's got to use
to keep Baron Corbin off balance.

1525
01:22:35,216 --> 01:22:38,586
[Booker T] Yes, he better try to get
a pinfall quick in a match up like this,

1526
01:22:38,653 --> 01:22:43,491
but look at the smarts right there,
Baron Corbin just creating that space.

1527
01:22:43,558 --> 01:22:44,659
I love it, man.

1528
01:22:44,826 --> 01:22:47,862
[Vic] Wes Lee realizing,
looking to shrink that space,

1529
01:22:47,929 --> 01:22:51,599
close the door, and, oh no! Deep six!

1530
01:22:51,666 --> 01:22:53,935
[Booker T] Yeah! Perfect plan.

1531
01:22:54,002 --> 01:22:56,104
[cheers and applause]

1532
01:22:56,571 --> 01:22:58,406
[Vic] Can Wess Lee bounce back?

1533
01:23:02,477 --> 01:23:04,145
[crowd clapping]

1534
01:23:04,212 --> 01:23:07,248
[Vic] Back on NXT.
Baron Corbin has been in control

1535
01:23:07,315 --> 01:23:09,651
as you saw
throughout the commercial break.

1536
01:23:09,718 --> 01:23:11,219
And for Baron Corbin,

1537
01:23:11,519 --> 01:23:15,156
Lexus King was kind of poking around
a lot earlier around Baron Corbin.

1538
01:23:15,223 --> 01:23:16,324
Do you still like Lexus King after--

1539
01:23:16,391 --> 01:23:19,060
[Booker T] I like everything
about Lexus King.

1540
01:23:19,127 --> 01:23:21,730
Like I said, for one,
he has a championship match.

1541
01:23:21,796 --> 01:23:25,367
Last week, he topped the ratings, 800 k,

1542
01:23:25,433 --> 01:23:28,470
and as well as the internet,
he's blowing up the internet.

1543
01:23:28,536 --> 01:23:30,372
I love Lexus King.

1544
01:23:30,438 --> 01:23:33,541
[Vic] Baron Corbin was impressed too
and that is a hard thing to do,

1545
01:23:33,608 --> 01:23:38,013
as Corbin continuing
the offensive onslaught.

1546
01:23:38,279 --> 01:23:40,148
What a clothesline!

1547
01:23:40,682 --> 01:23:43,084
[Booker T] Ring Around The Rosies, man.

1548
01:23:43,284 --> 01:23:46,988
[Vic] There was no pocket full of posey
as he just got rocked.

1549
01:23:47,155 --> 01:23:50,892
Take another look. Hard impact.

1550
01:23:50,959 --> 01:23:53,294
[Booker T] I love that.
Look, that's that lone wolf.

1551
01:23:53,461 --> 01:23:55,697
That's the man I like seeing, Vic.

1552
01:23:56,264 --> 01:23:59,934
[Vic] Now you've got to wonder
with every blow, every forearm,

1553
01:24:00,001 --> 01:24:03,705
is this something that, Baron Corbin,
when he sees Wes Lee,

1554
01:24:03,905 --> 01:24:05,974
he really sees Ilja Dragunov?

1555
01:24:06,041 --> 01:24:08,576
[Booker T] It's not just Wes Lee, Vic.

1556
01:24:08,643 --> 01:24:11,846
This is about taking over,
this is about domination

1557
01:24:11,913 --> 01:24:13,882
for this man here, Baron Corbin.

1558
01:24:13,948 --> 01:24:15,984
[Vic] This match up
made official for next week,

1559
01:24:16,050 --> 01:24:19,487
Eddie Thorpe, Charlie Dempsey,
what a showdown that is gonna be.

1560
01:24:19,554 --> 01:24:21,923
You smirked, Booker,
at the end Halloween Havoc.

1561
01:24:21,990 --> 01:24:24,292
When Corbin was standing over
the NXT champion.

1562
01:24:24,359 --> 01:24:26,227
[Booker T] Yeah. You know why?
Because I said he's back.

1563
01:24:26,394 --> 01:24:30,231
He is back. He's in his own song pit.

1564
01:24:30,298 --> 01:24:33,134
And I've said it, I've said it once,
I've said it a thousand times,

1565
01:24:33,201 --> 01:24:36,504
you win by any means necessary.

1566
01:24:37,172 --> 01:24:39,340
[Vic] Baron Corbin
is bringing it here tonight.

1567
01:24:39,574 --> 01:24:45,413
Corbin said he had to get rid of it all.
He had to destroy his past for his future.

1568
01:24:45,480 --> 01:24:49,084
And he wants to destroy everyone
in the NXT locker room.

1569
01:24:49,350 --> 01:24:51,186
As he's called out everyone.

1570
01:24:51,252 --> 01:24:54,856
You know what he called Wes Lee earlier?
He called Wes Lee a quitter.

1571
01:24:54,923 --> 01:24:56,191
[Booker T] I mean--

1572
01:24:56,257 --> 01:24:58,159
[Vic] No quit in Wes Lee
and Wes Lee's showing that.

1573
01:24:58,326 --> 01:24:59,794
[Booker T] I wouldn't call Wes Lee that.

1574
01:24:59,994 --> 01:25:03,798
But all of these shots
that Baron Corbin is landing right now,

1575
01:25:03,865 --> 01:25:05,166
they're major shots, Vic.

1576
01:25:05,233 --> 01:25:09,003
Those are the ones that really can
take you down that bank.

1577
01:25:09,637 --> 01:25:11,873
[Vic] Wes Lee starting to fire back.

1578
01:25:12,540 --> 01:25:16,511
And Wes Lee is going to have to bring
a lot more than that

1579
01:25:16,578 --> 01:25:20,915
to try to knock down Baron Corbin.

1580
01:25:25,520 --> 01:25:28,256
Corbin, and here comes Lee!

1581
01:25:28,556 --> 01:25:32,594
And this is that different side of We Lee.

1582
01:25:35,163 --> 01:25:36,231
[Booker T] Oh, yeah!

1583
01:25:36,297 --> 01:25:40,168
-[Vic] Lee is getting him some of Baron.
-[Booker T] Oh, yeah, man!

1584
01:25:40,835 --> 01:25:46,774
[crowd chanting] NXT! NXT!

1585
01:25:48,143 --> 01:25:52,046
[Vic] Wes Lee using
his environment to his advantage.

1586
01:25:52,213 --> 01:25:54,582
[Booker T] I said it before,
many, many times.

1587
01:25:54,649 --> 01:25:58,453
I wasn't a believer of this kid.
But he made me a believer

1588
01:25:58,620 --> 01:26:00,688
with moves like that.

1589
01:26:00,755 --> 01:26:04,559
[Vic] To the top with the drop!
But not the victory.

1590
01:26:04,626 --> 01:26:08,263
Just able to get out, as Baron Corbin--

1591
01:26:08,429 --> 01:26:12,166
and this is a flurry of offense
from Wes Lee.

1592
01:26:12,233 --> 01:26:15,069
It's like Wes Lee
found that different gear.

1593
01:26:15,136 --> 01:26:17,305
It's like Wes Lee
took off those few months,

1594
01:26:17,372 --> 01:26:20,708
refocused himself and refound himself.

1595
01:26:20,775 --> 01:26:23,645
Didn't get all that stopped,
but certainly got enough on the hands,

1596
01:26:23,711 --> 01:26:25,513
right under the shoulders of Baron Corbin.

1597
01:26:25,580 --> 01:26:29,083
And Lee now, maybe due to that time off,
is trying to get back,

1598
01:26:29,150 --> 01:26:33,188
took a moment too long,
and got driven into the mat by Corbin.

1599
01:26:33,254 --> 01:26:34,956
Into the cover, hook of the leg,

1600
01:26:35,023 --> 01:26:37,926
and Wes Lee
able to fight out one more time.

1601
01:26:37,992 --> 01:26:40,295
[Booker T] Wes Lee
took a step away, like you said, Vic.

1602
01:26:40,361 --> 01:26:44,332
They always say you never want
to take yourself of the game, Vic,

1603
01:26:44,399 --> 01:26:49,437
because somebody is always
going to be there to take your spot.

1604
01:26:49,671 --> 01:26:53,508
[crowd chanting] Corbin! Corbin!

1605
01:26:53,808 --> 01:26:57,478
[Vic] Corbin now looking
to maybe end this match and it is!

1606
01:26:57,545 --> 01:27:00,381
Right behind Wes Lee,
cardiac kicks in the right back,

1607
01:27:00,548 --> 01:27:03,051
got caught in a tilt-to-whirl back breaker,

1608
01:27:03,117 --> 01:27:05,420
didn't drop Lee,
and somehow Lee stayed on his feet.

1609
01:27:05,587 --> 01:27:07,555
[Booker T] That's the fight
in this young man, Vic.

1610
01:27:07,622 --> 01:27:11,492
He's no boy that we've seen him fight
through many, many battles, man.

1611
01:27:11,859 --> 01:27:15,563
[Vic] These two like rubber bands
snapping back at one another,

1612
01:27:15,630 --> 01:27:18,967
but both superstars down.
Look who's on his feet though.

1613
01:27:19,167 --> 01:27:24,272
Baron Corbin.
And Corbin dragging Wes Lee over.

1614
01:27:24,339 --> 01:27:26,741
We are in those deep waters,
and what is Corbin?

1615
01:27:26,808 --> 01:27:31,012
You don't see Corbin
leave his fight too often.

1616
01:27:31,179 --> 01:27:34,315
[Booker T] Corbin, right now,
he's gonna go for that kill shot,

1617
01:27:34,382 --> 01:27:37,852
but the quickness
of Wes Lee is still there.

1618
01:27:39,754 --> 01:27:41,923
[Vic] Little separation,
Lee closing the door,

1619
01:27:41,990 --> 01:27:44,158
rocking Corbin all the way to the floor.

1620
01:27:46,861 --> 01:27:48,796
Yo, come on, let's go!

1621
01:27:49,130 --> 01:27:51,766
[Vic] Lee looking around,
checking his position

1622
01:27:52,233 --> 01:27:55,436
Wes Lee!

1623
01:27:56,838 --> 01:27:58,206
He didn't hit Corbin,

1624
01:27:58,273 --> 01:28:01,175
he hit the North American champion,
Dominick Mysterio!

1625
01:28:05,446 --> 01:28:09,050
And Lee, taking it out,
he put a target on Dom's back.

1626
01:28:09,117 --> 01:28:10,818
But the match is continuing.

1627
01:28:10,885 --> 01:28:14,922
I'm looking up, the referee's at 8,
referee almost able to count out Wes Lee,

1628
01:28:14,989 --> 01:28:20,228
who refocused, returns,
and then just planted [indistinct]!

1629
01:28:20,428 --> 01:28:22,897
[crowd] One, two, three!

1630
01:28:23,064 --> 01:28:24,065
[bell ringing]

1631
01:28:24,599 --> 01:28:26,668
[music]

1632
01:28:26,734 --> 01:28:30,038
[female announcer]
Here is your winner, Baron Corbin!

1633
01:28:30,238 --> 01:28:36,044
[Vic] And maybe that budding friendship
we saw start to blossom earlier,

1634
01:28:36,110 --> 01:28:39,580
between Corbin and Dirty Dom,
paying dividends!

1635
01:28:39,781 --> 01:28:40,915
But hey!

1636
01:28:42,917 --> 01:28:44,218
The match is over.

1637
01:28:44,285 --> 01:28:46,521
[Booker T]
Two more major shots won't hurt.

1638
01:28:50,825 --> 01:28:52,660
[Vic] We talked about Halloween Havoc.

1639
01:28:53,227 --> 01:28:55,730
And it's Dragunov now.

1640
01:28:56,497 --> 01:29:00,501
[crowd cheering]

1641
01:29:02,904 --> 01:29:07,608
[Vic] Do not want to get
on the bad side of the NXT champion.

1642
01:29:11,179 --> 01:29:13,281
Oh, my God!

1643
01:29:16,384 --> 01:29:19,954
[crowd cheering, booing]

1644
01:29:27,562 --> 01:29:33,267
[Vic] Baron Corbin is burning it all down.

1645
01:29:35,103 --> 01:29:40,842
[music]

1646
01:29:42,310 --> 01:29:46,114
[Vic] Baron Corbin was victorious.
took a couple cheap shots after the tag,

1647
01:29:46,180 --> 01:29:49,484
and then it was Ilya Dragunov,
who's got a score to settle,

1648
01:29:49,550 --> 01:29:52,620
or Baron Corbin.
We talked about Halloween Havoc,

1649
01:29:52,687 --> 01:29:55,990
and when the champ was looking
for a Torpedo Moscow instead,

1650
01:29:56,057 --> 01:29:58,426
it was countered by Corbin.

1651
01:29:59,393 --> 01:30:02,563
And Baron Corbin
has set his sights on the champion.

1652
01:30:02,630 --> 01:30:04,165
He's targeted the title.

1653
01:30:05,533 --> 01:30:08,302
Baron! Baron!

1654
01:30:09,003 --> 01:30:13,307
You made a grave mistake.

1655
01:30:13,875 --> 01:30:18,646
And now you need to live
with those consequences.

1656
01:30:19,547 --> 01:30:26,521
You want a NXT championship match
so bad, huh? You got it!

1657
01:30:27,088 --> 01:30:29,157
[crowd cheering]

1658
01:30:29,223 --> 01:30:32,994
I'll see you at Deadline!

1659
01:30:33,995 --> 01:30:37,832
[crowd cheering]

1660
01:30:38,766 --> 01:30:42,770
[Vic] Well, that was a bold challenge
and it's made official.

1661
01:30:42,837 --> 01:30:46,808
The clock begins to count down
until the end of days.

1662
01:30:46,874 --> 01:30:51,512
But whose time will be up,
Corbin's or Dragunov's at Deadline?
