1
00:00:01,101 --> 00:00:03,770
[theme music playing]

2
00:00:04,371 --> 00:00:05,572
[narrator] Then.

3
00:00:07,040 --> 00:00:10,210
-[Ric Flair] Whoo!
-[Rock] If you smell…

4
00:00:10,276 --> 00:00:12,112
-[bell tolls]
-[narrator] Now.

5
00:00:12,178 --> 00:00:14,114
[Roman] Acknowledge me!

6
00:00:14,814 --> 00:00:17,117
-[Lemmy] The King of Kings.
-[John] You can't see me.

7
00:00:17,183 --> 00:00:18,251
[narrator] Forever.

8
00:00:22,889 --> 00:00:24,290
Together.

9
00:00:29,662 --> 00:00:34,267
[Vic] Our superstars gonna make
their first impressions on 2024.

10
00:00:34,334 --> 00:00:36,036
Welcome to NXT!

11
00:00:36,102 --> 00:00:37,771
[Booker] It's New Year's Evil.

12
00:00:38,238 --> 00:00:40,373
The glue of the D'Angelo family.

13
00:00:40,440 --> 00:00:42,142
Adriana. Rachel.

14
00:00:42,208 --> 00:00:44,611
-How are you doing?
-Hey, how you doing?

15
00:00:44,677 --> 00:00:47,680
Next week,
the men's Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic

16
00:00:47,747 --> 00:00:48,715
will begin.

17
00:00:50,450 --> 00:00:51,651
[Vic] And we're kicking things off

18
00:00:51,718 --> 00:00:55,221
with two women with one goal.
The NXT women's title.

19
00:00:55,288 --> 00:00:59,192
Lyra, I witnessed your rise, but I'll be
the reason as to why you fall.

20
00:00:59,993 --> 00:01:01,928
-[Booker] Oh!
-[Vic] Falcon arrow from the top.

21
00:01:01,995 --> 00:01:05,498
I want this title
because I wanna be the best.

22
00:01:06,933 --> 00:01:09,169
[Vic] Valkyria retains.

23
00:01:09,669 --> 00:01:11,004
[Booker] Let them loose.

24
00:01:11,071 --> 00:01:15,575
[Vic] Hall of life was about
to execute that championship contract.

25
00:01:15,642 --> 00:01:19,612
As long as you're still champion,
all is right in the world.

26
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:22,982
[Vic] How cool is this?

27
00:01:23,049 --> 00:01:25,919
-Carlito!
-[audience chanting] Carlito!

28
00:01:25,985 --> 00:01:29,089
Oh, Joaquin Wilde got launched.

29
00:01:29,155 --> 00:01:30,657
[Booker] It's New Year's Evil!

30
00:01:32,392 --> 00:01:35,195
[Vic] Stratton Henley, big stakes.

31
00:01:35,261 --> 00:01:36,429
Nothing would thrill me

32
00:01:36,496 --> 00:01:39,132
more than to make
Tiffany my ranch hand for the day.

33
00:01:39,199 --> 00:01:40,633
[Vic] Oh, my God!

34
00:01:41,501 --> 00:01:45,805
Fallon Henley has herself
a new ranch hand.

35
00:01:45,872 --> 00:01:47,907
[audience cheering]

36
00:01:47,974 --> 00:01:51,578
[Vic] Who is gonna earn themselves
a guaranteed championship contract?

37
00:01:53,980 --> 00:01:59,119
Oba Femi,
the Men's Breakout Tournament winner.

38
00:02:02,589 --> 00:02:03,923
Dragunov not clear to compete.

39
00:02:03,990 --> 00:02:06,926
Our new main event
has championship implications.

40
00:02:06,993 --> 00:02:10,997
Williams, Waller, who will be
the next to face Ilja Dragunov?

41
00:02:11,064 --> 00:02:13,700
A stipulation that was added
by Carmelo Hayes.

42
00:02:13,766 --> 00:02:16,269
Hey, man, that's a layer. Just don't miss.

43
00:02:16,336 --> 00:02:21,274
[Vic] Shawn Michaels tweeting out
that a former NXT champion is stopping by.

44
00:02:21,841 --> 00:02:23,543
[Booker] Buckle up, this is it.

45
00:02:23,610 --> 00:02:25,044
[screaming]

46
00:02:25,111 --> 00:02:27,614
[Vic] Melo was asked
to stay in the locker room.

47
00:02:28,381 --> 00:02:30,550
Holy! Kevin Owens!

48
00:02:33,553 --> 00:02:36,222
Williams remains the Number 1 Contender.

49
00:02:36,289 --> 00:02:37,557
[audience cheering]

50
00:02:37,624 --> 00:02:41,761
[Vic] Trick Williams cannot be denied.

51
00:02:41,828 --> 00:02:45,999
[audience chanting]

52
00:02:47,667 --> 00:02:49,435
[audience chanting] NXT!

53
00:02:49,502 --> 00:02:52,405
[Vic] NXT universe ready
to continue the New Year

54
00:02:52,472 --> 00:02:56,976
with the start
of the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic.

55
00:02:57,043 --> 00:02:59,846
Here tonight, welcome to NXT.

56
00:02:59,913 --> 00:03:01,481
Welcome in ringside, Vic Joseph,

57
00:03:01,548 --> 00:03:04,117
alongside with the two-time
WWE Hall of Famer, Booker T.

58
00:03:04,184 --> 00:03:08,354
And, Booker, we quickly got to get
to something that happened moments ago.

59
00:03:09,422 --> 00:03:11,391
[rumbling]

60
00:03:11,457 --> 00:03:13,993
[Vic] Nikkita Lyons
was arriving to the arena

61
00:03:14,060 --> 00:03:17,197
and was blindsided by Blair Davenport.

62
00:03:17,263 --> 00:03:19,065
These two are to meet here tonight.

63
00:03:19,132 --> 00:03:22,735
-Come on, break it up. Stop.
-Get away.

64
00:03:22,802 --> 00:03:26,606
-[Vic] And everything… Oh, Book. Look up!
-[Booker] Oh.

65
00:03:26,673 --> 00:03:31,044
These two haven't stopped
in the last 15 or 20 minutes.

66
00:03:32,111 --> 00:03:33,646
-[Booker] No tricks.
-[Vic] There's no control.

67
00:03:33,713 --> 00:03:36,583
[Booker] There's no tricks.
Didn't work this time, Vic.

68
00:03:36,649 --> 00:03:39,586
Nikkita Lyons ready for this one.

69
00:03:39,652 --> 00:03:41,020
[audience chanting] Nikkita!

70
00:03:41,087 --> 00:03:43,222
[Vic] Listen to the NXT universe.

71
00:03:43,289 --> 00:03:45,959
[inaudible]

72
00:03:46,025 --> 00:03:48,728
[Vic] And the official just,
Booker, the official just rang the bell.

73
00:03:48,795 --> 00:03:51,531
This matchup wasn't supposed to happen
until later tonight.

74
00:03:51,598 --> 00:03:54,701
[Booker] Good kick there, Vic. Whoa, man.

75
00:03:54,767 --> 00:03:56,636
[Vic] These two picking up
with the brutality

76
00:03:56,703 --> 00:03:59,105
that Cody and Shinsuke ended RAW with

77
00:03:59,172 --> 00:04:02,842
and take a look
at the power of Nikkita Lyons.

78
00:04:02,909 --> 00:04:06,012
And you can't blame Lyons
for her actions last week.

79
00:04:06,079 --> 00:04:07,814
You can't blame her
for the actions tonight

80
00:04:07,880 --> 00:04:09,549
or even the looks in her eyes right now.

81
00:04:09,616 --> 00:04:12,018
[Booker] No, Vic.
Let me tell you something.

82
00:04:12,085 --> 00:04:14,854
It's one thing getting injured
and sitting on the shelf.

83
00:04:14,921 --> 00:04:18,124
But when you get,
took outta the game, it was a hit.

84
00:04:18,191 --> 00:04:20,526
That was a hit by Blair Davenport.

85
00:04:20,593 --> 00:04:23,930
And I'm sure Nikkita Lyons
wants some payback, man.

86
00:04:23,997 --> 00:04:26,032
-Look at that double… Good catch!
-Oh, wow.

87
00:04:26,099 --> 00:04:28,668
[Vic] But that connect, that catch,
she got all of it.

88
00:04:28,735 --> 00:04:31,771
Covered and a near-fall
early on in this matchup.

89
00:04:31,838 --> 00:04:34,407
[Booker] Both of them in the velocity
with that kick right there.

90
00:04:34,474 --> 00:04:37,910
The entry looking good now.
She is holding up.

91
00:04:37,977 --> 00:04:41,414
[Vic] Well, Nikkita Lyons said she didn't
want to stoop to Davenport's level.

92
00:04:41,481 --> 00:04:43,049
She didn't wanna have a sneak impact.

93
00:04:43,116 --> 00:04:45,685
She wanted to punch Davenport
right in the face.

94
00:04:45,752 --> 00:04:51,557
Oh, no. Right into the steel post.
Shoulder first goes Lyons.

95
00:04:51,624 --> 00:04:55,495
Now Davenport smelling the blood
in the water, measuring.

96
00:04:55,561 --> 00:04:57,664
And right down across the back.

97
00:04:57,730 --> 00:05:00,800
[Booker] Good shot right there. You're
talking about stooping to one's level.

98
00:05:00,867 --> 00:05:02,402
I don't agree with that right there

99
00:05:02,468 --> 00:05:07,540
because Nikkita Lyons had a wounded
Blair Davenport, could have pounced.

100
00:05:07,607 --> 00:05:09,475
I would have taken that shot, man.

101
00:05:09,542 --> 00:05:12,645
My mama said, you big enough to pass
the leg. You big enough to take it.

102
00:05:12,712 --> 00:05:17,483
[Vic] Off the top. Right at the back
of that knee. Buckled on Nikkita Lyons.

103
00:05:18,117 --> 00:05:22,455
And Davenport now right back in.
And Davenport has Lyons on the back foot.

104
00:05:22,522 --> 00:05:24,590
And think about this.
These two showed up tonight,

105
00:05:24,657 --> 00:05:26,826
specifically Lyons,
getting ready for this matchup.

106
00:05:26,893 --> 00:05:28,461
They go in the parking lot
while she's attacked.

107
00:05:28,528 --> 00:05:30,897
She's jumped again by Blair Davenport.

108
00:05:30,963 --> 00:05:33,366
They're separated.
They go to their separate locker rooms.

109
00:05:33,433 --> 00:05:35,702
They get ready for the matchup.
They go through.

110
00:05:35,768 --> 00:05:37,770
They get everything ready.
And then they start fighting

111
00:05:37,837 --> 00:05:39,339
right before they get through.

112
00:05:39,405 --> 00:05:41,941
These two have no love lost
with one another.

113
00:05:42,008 --> 00:05:44,977
[Booker] Vic, Did you see how that knee
broke over? My thing is this here.

114
00:05:45,044 --> 00:05:47,313
Nikkita Lyons, she's going to
look good early in this matchup.

115
00:05:47,380 --> 00:05:49,349
But we talk about those deep waters.

116
00:05:49,415 --> 00:05:52,251
We talk about those late rounds.
How she's gonna do with that knee?

117
00:05:52,318 --> 00:05:55,621
Come on, Vic.
That knee was surgically repaired, man.

118
00:05:55,688 --> 00:05:58,458
[Vic] And that's why I go back to maybe
she didn't get a warm-up properly.

119
00:05:58,524 --> 00:06:01,627
She gets attacked in the parking lot.
She's in her locker room getting ready,

120
00:06:01,694 --> 00:06:03,730
going through her final
and mental preparations

121
00:06:03,796 --> 00:06:06,399
and they start brawling again
in the hallway

122
00:06:06,466 --> 00:06:07,834
all the way through the entry ramp.

123
00:06:07,900 --> 00:06:10,236
I mean, there is no control
between these two.

124
00:06:10,303 --> 00:06:12,572
[Booker] I noticed that
Nikkita Lyons took a big shot

125
00:06:12,638 --> 00:06:13,840
at Blair Davenport on this.

126
00:06:13,906 --> 00:06:15,942
[Booker] I don't know if you saw that
[inaudible], you know, tweet.

127
00:06:16,008 --> 00:06:17,510
[Vic] It was nasty. I did see it, yes.

128
00:06:17,577 --> 00:06:19,112
[Booker] It was gnarly.
It was gnarly, man.

129
00:06:19,178 --> 00:06:21,447
That right there, that's got
to affect her right now, Vic.

130
00:06:21,514 --> 00:06:23,716
[Vic] You got to think as well
when it comes to Nikkita Lyons.

131
00:06:23,783 --> 00:06:26,886
She was attacked. Sol Ruca was attacked.

132
00:06:26,953 --> 00:06:29,822
And you take a look at Blair Davenport,
who just got dropped.

133
00:06:29,889 --> 00:06:34,160
Will she regret that being Davenport,
her decisions of the past?

134
00:06:34,227 --> 00:06:35,628
[Booker]
What are you talking about regret?

135
00:06:35,695 --> 00:06:41,667
When you got a vulnerable opponent
like everybody that Davenport attacked.

136
00:06:41,734 --> 00:06:45,138
They are all vulnerable now.
Look at Nikkita Lyons right now.

137
00:06:45,204 --> 00:06:48,641
[Vic] You say vulnerable,
but Nikkita Lyons and Sol Ruca

138
00:06:48,708 --> 00:06:50,743
and the rest of the NXT
women's locker room,

139
00:06:50,810 --> 00:06:55,314
They have been looking, waiting,
almost planning for Blair Davenport.

140
00:06:55,381 --> 00:06:58,618
She has made more enemies
than friends in the locker room.

141
00:06:58,684 --> 00:07:00,419
And Lyons is the first one to come back.

142
00:07:00,486 --> 00:07:04,957
[Booker] This is about, Vic,
it's not about making friends or anything.

143
00:07:05,024 --> 00:07:08,428
It's about making money.
CM Punk told you that, didn't he?

144
00:07:08,494 --> 00:07:09,462
-Did he tell you that?
-[Vic] He did.

145
00:07:09,529 --> 00:07:11,130
-[Booker] Didn't CM Punk tell you that?
-[Vic] He certainly did.

146
00:07:11,197 --> 00:07:14,567
So not one ounce of you feels bad
for someone like Nikkita Lyons?

147
00:07:14,634 --> 00:07:15,735
[Booker] Yeah, I feel bad.
But Nikkita Lyons…

148
00:07:15,802 --> 00:07:17,703
[Vic] She lost a year of her career, Punk.

149
00:07:17,770 --> 00:07:22,775
[Booker] Oh, well, big shot there.
This is the business. It's very fluid.

150
00:07:22,842 --> 00:07:24,811
Sometimes you could be on top of the world

151
00:07:24,877 --> 00:07:27,847
and sometimes you could be
watching the world go by, man.

152
00:07:27,914 --> 00:07:31,884
-That's the way it is. Oh, wow!
-[Vic] What a German suplex.

153
00:07:31,951 --> 00:07:35,221
And you take a look at the eyes
one more time of Nikkita Lyons.

154
00:07:35,288 --> 00:07:36,355
I come back to you, Booker.

155
00:07:36,422 --> 00:07:40,193
How would you feel when you finally
would get your hands on a person

156
00:07:40,259 --> 00:07:41,928
who cost you a year of your career?

157
00:07:41,994 --> 00:07:43,830
A year of your money.
You always talk about money.

158
00:07:43,896 --> 00:07:44,897
-[Booker] Yeah.
-[Vic] Making money.

159
00:07:44,964 --> 00:07:45,898
That's what it's all about.

160
00:07:45,965 --> 00:07:48,367
-What would you do?
-[Booker] No, I would feel…

161
00:07:48,434 --> 00:07:52,371
[Vic] Into the cover, hook of the leg.
Is it gonna be enough? And a near-fall.

162
00:07:52,438 --> 00:07:54,640
Go back to some of the action
in this matchup, Booker.

163
00:07:54,707 --> 00:07:57,477
This nasty German suplex,
might come back to you.

164
00:07:57,543 --> 00:07:59,178
[Booker] No, that's just the way
I would feel right there.

165
00:07:59,245 --> 00:08:02,648
Just like Nikkita Lyons laying it on
and laying it on thick.

166
00:08:02,715 --> 00:08:06,319
It's about redemption,
it's about redeeming yourself.

167
00:08:06,385 --> 00:08:09,689
And the worst way, man,
I'm talking about pain.

168
00:08:10,456 --> 00:08:12,558
[Vic] Take a look.
Maybe looking for that knockout knee.

169
00:08:12,625 --> 00:08:14,327
Nice counter. Nice kick.

170
00:08:14,393 --> 00:08:16,128
We know the background of Nikkita Lyons.

171
00:08:16,195 --> 00:08:19,332
But, Book, you see the knee brace
on the right knee.

172
00:08:19,398 --> 00:08:20,533
That's the past injury.

173
00:08:20,600 --> 00:08:24,403
You keep looking, and Nikkita Lyons
continues to go down to that left knee,

174
00:08:24,470 --> 00:08:27,940
the knee you noticed that buckled
early on in the matchup.

175
00:08:28,508 --> 00:08:29,709
[Booker] Not just the knee brace.

176
00:08:29,775 --> 00:08:34,046
That's a bullseye
with a laser sight on it.

177
00:08:34,113 --> 00:08:38,117
I'll tell you now, if Blair Davenport
gets one shot at it, she's gonna do it--

178
00:08:38,184 --> 00:08:39,852
-[Booker] Oh, no! There it is.
-[Vic] Oh, no!

179
00:08:39,919 --> 00:08:40,987
That could be that shot.

180
00:08:41,053 --> 00:08:44,123
[Vic] That's the injured knee,
the previously injured knee of Nikkita

181
00:08:44,190 --> 00:08:46,092
that sidelined her for a year.

182
00:08:46,158 --> 00:08:47,827
[Booker] Yeah, but she's fighting
through the pain now.

183
00:08:47,894 --> 00:08:50,062
The adrenaline right now
has got to be flowing.

184
00:08:50,129 --> 00:08:52,832
Flowing very thick
at this point in the matchup.

185
00:08:52,899 --> 00:08:57,937
[Vic] Well, adrenaline can make you do
crazy things inside the squared circle

186
00:08:58,004 --> 00:09:02,475
as getting back in, and…
A vicious chop block.

187
00:09:02,542 --> 00:09:03,743
[Booker] Man.

188
00:09:03,809 --> 00:09:08,614
[Vic] And Davenport now sizing up Lyons
with another knee strike under the jaw,

189
00:09:08,681 --> 00:09:14,086
into the cover,
and Davenport silences the roar.

190
00:09:14,153 --> 00:09:19,492
[Alicia] Here is your winner,
Blair Davenport!

191
00:09:21,460 --> 00:09:23,696
[Vic] Composing myself for a moment.

192
00:09:23,763 --> 00:09:26,899
This started 15, 20 minutes ago
in the parking lot

193
00:09:26,966 --> 00:09:29,535
and it ends with a chop block

194
00:09:29,602 --> 00:09:34,740
going low to the bullseye on the body bam,
of Nikkita Lyons

195
00:09:34,807 --> 00:09:39,478
and then that knocked out blow
from Blair Davenport.

196
00:09:39,545 --> 00:09:44,250
And I did say she silenced the roar,
but maybe for just now.

197
00:09:44,951 --> 00:09:47,320
As Blair begins the night with a win,

198
00:09:47,386 --> 00:09:52,058
our Tag Teams begin their journey
towards greatness.

199
00:09:54,593 --> 00:09:59,365
[narrator] NXT,
the Ellis Island of sports entertainment.

200
00:09:59,432 --> 00:10:02,435
Where fresh new talent
grows into superstars.

201
00:10:02,501 --> 00:10:05,771
Where familiar faces
go for a shot in the arm.

202
00:10:05,838 --> 00:10:11,243
Tonight, this cutting-edge brand
turns the page to a familiar chapter.

203
00:10:11,310 --> 00:10:17,016
A Tag Team tournament rich in tradition,
prestige, and honor.

204
00:10:17,083 --> 00:10:20,219
The Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic.

205
00:10:20,686 --> 00:10:24,657
The art of tag team wrestling
is about to take center stage.

206
00:10:24,724 --> 00:10:29,261
Culminating in Clarksville, Tennessee,
at Vengeance Day.

207
00:10:29,662 --> 00:10:32,198
Eight teams are about
to embark on a journey,

208
00:10:32,264 --> 00:10:34,300
but only one will survive.

209
00:10:34,367 --> 00:10:38,604
Earn a future tag team title match
and the privilege of having their names

210
00:10:38,671 --> 00:10:42,074
engraved on the Dusty Cup forever.

211
00:10:42,141 --> 00:10:46,212
This tournament represents the man
it's named after.

212
00:10:46,278 --> 00:10:49,782
The hunger, the drive, the dream.

213
00:10:49,849 --> 00:10:53,052
To be remembered forever
in the annals of time.

214
00:10:53,119 --> 00:10:56,222
For these eight teams,
it's not about finishing the story.

215
00:10:56,288 --> 00:10:58,290
It is about creating their own.

216
00:10:58,357 --> 00:11:02,194
[audience chanting] Dusty!

217
00:11:02,261 --> 00:11:07,066
[Vic] It is time for the Dusty Rhodes
Tag Team Classic to get started.

218
00:11:07,133 --> 00:11:10,569
A team that has competed
in this very tournament in the past.

219
00:11:10,636 --> 00:11:14,740
Dallas preparing for, well, the unknown.
Bron Breakker, and Corbin.

220
00:11:14,807 --> 00:11:17,977
It's our very first opening round match
next.

221
00:11:20,046 --> 00:11:21,347
Yeah, Imma holler at him right now.

222
00:11:22,581 --> 00:11:25,751
Hey, yo, Trick.
I got some good news for us, bro.

223
00:11:26,552 --> 00:11:29,255
Look, bro, I don't even know
if I wanna hear it.

224
00:11:29,321 --> 00:11:32,024
I mean, you might tell me one thing
and do something totally different

225
00:11:32,091 --> 00:11:33,392
just like you did last week.

226
00:11:33,459 --> 00:11:35,828
Yeah, look, I know last week
I said I was gonna stay back here,

227
00:11:35,895 --> 00:11:37,496
but I saw HBK putting out a tweet

228
00:11:37,563 --> 00:11:39,965
talking about we got
a former NXT champion coming through

229
00:11:40,032 --> 00:11:43,002
and, man, I'm just thinking,
look, I take championships.

230
00:11:43,069 --> 00:11:44,904
-I don't take chances.
-I feel you.

231
00:11:44,970 --> 00:11:46,372
All right, thankfully,
you got the job done

232
00:11:46,439 --> 00:11:48,941
and you beat Waller all by yourself
like you said you would.

233
00:11:49,008 --> 00:11:51,177
-Right.
-But I want you to understand something.

234
00:11:51,243 --> 00:11:52,812
-What's up?
-You asked for my help.

235
00:11:52,878 --> 00:11:56,248
So, it's my responsibility
to make sure that you succeed.

236
00:11:56,315 --> 00:11:58,684
-So, let me holler at you about something.
-Yeah.

237
00:11:58,751 --> 00:12:00,519
-I mean, I feel where you're coming from.
-Mm-hmm.

238
00:12:00,586 --> 00:12:02,455
-I did get the dub.
-You did.

239
00:12:02,521 --> 00:12:04,256
-What you got for me?
-All right.

240
00:12:04,323 --> 00:12:06,392
We don't know
how long Ilja's gonna be out, right?

241
00:12:06,459 --> 00:12:08,594
No, I have no idea.

242
00:12:08,661 --> 00:12:10,930
-All I know is, I'm gonna be ready.
-Yes, you will.

243
00:12:10,996 --> 00:12:13,966
So while we wait,
I figured I'd pull some strings.

244
00:12:14,033 --> 00:12:18,037
And I got your boys the last fight
in the Dusty Cup Classic.

245
00:12:18,104 --> 00:12:19,238
Let's talk about it.

246
00:12:19,305 --> 00:12:20,406
[chuckles]

247
00:12:20,473 --> 00:12:21,907
I don't miss.

248
00:12:22,775 --> 00:12:24,076
I don't know, bro.

249
00:12:24,143 --> 00:12:27,012
I think I need to stay locked in
for this match with Ilja.

250
00:12:27,079 --> 00:12:29,915
Okay. But this is gonna
keep you locked in.

251
00:12:29,982 --> 00:12:32,585
That way we stay focused
and we stay prepared, man.

252
00:12:33,652 --> 00:12:37,056
-I don't know, bro.
-Good news. I do know.

253
00:12:37,123 --> 00:12:38,958
I know that we gonna
take this whole thing,

254
00:12:39,024 --> 00:12:42,561
we gonna win the Dusty Cup,
we gonna win them tag team championships,

255
00:12:42,628 --> 00:12:44,563
and Melo's gonna be a Triple Crown champ

256
00:12:44,630 --> 00:12:47,366
and they gonna start calling you
two-title Trick.

257
00:12:47,433 --> 00:12:49,435
Because that's all it is.

258
00:12:50,903 --> 00:12:52,938
-Two-Title Trick, huh?
-That's right.

259
00:12:53,772 --> 00:12:56,208
-And that's all it's gonna be.
-[both laugh]

260
00:12:56,275 --> 00:12:58,010
-This one's for the people.
-They'll love this.

261
00:12:58,077 --> 00:13:00,079
It's the new trick-Melo game [inaudible].
We back, baby.

262
00:13:01,213 --> 00:13:05,084
[Vic] Book. Sounds like they're on
the same page and we got our final team.

263
00:13:05,151 --> 00:13:06,619
[audience cheering]

264
00:13:06,685 --> 00:13:08,053
I like it.

265
00:13:10,456 --> 00:13:13,092
[inaudible]

266
00:13:14,426 --> 00:13:15,361
[bell ringing]

267
00:13:15,427 --> 00:13:17,830
[Alicia] The following
is a first-round match

268
00:13:17,897 --> 00:13:22,101
in the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic.

269
00:13:22,168 --> 00:13:25,437
Introducing first,
accompanied by Joe Coffey,

270
00:13:25,504 --> 00:13:29,809
the team of Mark Coffey and Wolfgang.

271
00:13:29,875 --> 00:13:31,510
Gallus!

272
00:13:31,577 --> 00:13:35,915
[Vic] It's the first of two
first-round matches.

273
00:13:35,981 --> 00:13:39,485
Of course, as we learned,
the finals will take place

274
00:13:39,552 --> 00:13:43,489
at the Invention State Premium Live Event
on February the 4th.

275
00:13:43,556 --> 00:13:44,523
Here is the bracket.

276
00:13:44,590 --> 00:13:47,927
You can see the field we just found out
Carmelo Hayes, Trick Williams.

277
00:13:47,993 --> 00:13:51,330
It is official.
They have entered, but that is the field.

278
00:13:51,397 --> 00:13:52,631
Those are the teams.

279
00:13:52,698 --> 00:13:56,769
And one of these teams
will host and have their name etched

280
00:13:56,836 --> 00:13:59,305
into the prestigious Dusty Cup.

281
00:13:59,371 --> 00:14:02,374
["Burn The Ships" music playing]

282
00:14:14,386 --> 00:14:17,389
[barking]

283
00:14:24,530 --> 00:14:27,533
["Destined For Greatness" music playing]

284
00:14:42,047 --> 00:14:43,682
[Alicia] And their opponents,

285
00:14:43,749 --> 00:14:46,986
the team of Baron Corbin,

286
00:14:47,052 --> 00:14:51,323
and Bron Breakker.

287
00:14:53,259 --> 00:14:55,294
[Vic] Look, I hate to ask the obvious,
but--

288
00:14:55,361 --> 00:14:56,462
[Booker] Hold on, man. Wait a minute.

289
00:14:56,528 --> 00:14:58,330
-[Vic] Here we go.
-[Booker] Before you say anything,

290
00:14:58,397 --> 00:15:00,499
please, let me get it out there.

291
00:15:00,566 --> 00:15:03,235
This is that man. Oh, yes.

292
00:15:03,302 --> 00:15:09,308
No bread. No water. Just meat!

293
00:15:09,375 --> 00:15:12,244
That's Bron Breakker,
along with Baron Corbin,

294
00:15:12,311 --> 00:15:15,781
ready to do damage
inside the squared circle.

295
00:15:15,848 --> 00:15:21,186
Oh, man. I'm ready for some action.
I'm excited. Goosebumps, man.

296
00:15:21,253 --> 00:15:25,124
Goosebumps going all down the spine.

297
00:15:25,190 --> 00:15:27,793
Go ahead. Go ahead, Vic.
What's your question?

298
00:15:27,860 --> 00:15:29,361
[Vic] Do you have a meet-and-greet
this weekend?

299
00:15:29,428 --> 00:15:31,597
Sell 20 Combos?
What are you all excited for?

300
00:15:31,664 --> 00:15:33,332
[Booker] No, man. This matchup.

301
00:15:33,399 --> 00:15:36,669
Gallus Boys versus Bron Breakker,
Baron Corbin.

302
00:15:36,735 --> 00:15:39,071
-[Vic] It's the start of the Dusty Cup.
-[Booker] What do we call this guys?

303
00:15:39,138 --> 00:15:41,940
Destruction? What do we call him?
Mayhem? What do we call him?

304
00:15:42,007 --> 00:15:42,942
[Vic] I was gonna ask you

305
00:15:43,008 --> 00:15:45,411
if you thought it was gonna be
difficult for them to get on the same page

306
00:15:45,477 --> 00:15:46,979
with everything
that's gone on in their past.

307
00:15:47,046 --> 00:15:50,816
[Booker] You know, I do expect for it
not to be such a smooth transition,

308
00:15:50,883 --> 00:15:56,388
but two men sharing one common cause
and that's winning this Dusty Cup,

309
00:15:56,455 --> 00:16:00,693
solidifying themselves
as the best tag team in NXT.

310
00:16:00,759 --> 00:16:02,027
[Booker] Close enough tag team champs.

311
00:16:02,094 --> 00:16:04,697
[Vic] Baron Corbin has said
he's got unfinished business in NXT.

312
00:16:04,763 --> 00:16:07,933
If you go back to the first ever
Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic,

313
00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,035
it was established in August of 2015.

314
00:16:10,102 --> 00:16:14,473
Baron Corbin was actually in the finals
of the original tournament

315
00:16:14,540 --> 00:16:17,142
with another superstar
who had perfected the spear.

316
00:16:17,209 --> 00:16:20,145
And now, at that point,
he was being shown the ropes.

317
00:16:20,212 --> 00:16:23,215
Now, he thinks he's leading
the charge with Bron Breakker.

318
00:16:23,282 --> 00:16:24,717
How times have changed.

319
00:16:24,783 --> 00:16:26,051
[Brooker] I don't think
Bron Breakker thinks that.

320
00:16:26,118 --> 00:16:28,520
I think Bron's thinking
he is the leader of the camp.

321
00:16:28,587 --> 00:16:31,256
Oh, wow. The captain hooked his crewman.

322
00:16:31,323 --> 00:16:33,459
but I do think
they can be a formidable team

323
00:16:33,525 --> 00:16:36,729
if they could get on, like you said,
the same page, Vic.

324
00:16:36,795 --> 00:16:40,666
[Vic] That was a tag, the first one
between these two, and we will find out.

325
00:16:40,733 --> 00:16:42,334
You're talking about
being on the same page.

326
00:16:42,401 --> 00:16:45,070
It seems early on, they certainly are.

327
00:16:45,137 --> 00:16:50,142
And what will the formula have to be
for Bron and Baron to be successful?

328
00:16:50,209 --> 00:16:52,911
I mean, like I said, you know, Vic,
a lotta people go out there

329
00:16:52,978 --> 00:16:58,650
and try to figure out how we can get on
the same page, try to find continuity,

330
00:16:58,717 --> 00:17:02,988
try to figure out what it's gonna take
to become championship material.

331
00:17:03,055 --> 00:17:05,824
[Vic] Into the Coffey to advance
and a quick kick out by Corbin.

332
00:17:05,891 --> 00:17:09,161
What must Gallus be thinking right now?

333
00:17:09,228 --> 00:17:11,897
I mean, they're taking a look
at Bron Breakker,

334
00:17:11,964 --> 00:17:16,301
a former multi-time NXT champion,
and Baron Corbin, someone who's been,

335
00:17:16,368 --> 00:17:18,604
who's competed at WrestleMania
as Money in the Bank

336
00:17:18,670 --> 00:17:19,538
and United States titles.

337
00:17:19,605 --> 00:17:22,441
The list goes on,
and they're not facing a normal team.

338
00:17:22,508 --> 00:17:23,409
[Booker] Yeah, they're not a normal team,

339
00:17:23,475 --> 00:17:25,177
but you got to think
about the Gallus Boys.

340
00:17:25,244 --> 00:17:26,745
These guys have been together
for quite some time,

341
00:17:26,812 --> 00:17:29,748
more than five years together
as a tag team,

342
00:17:29,815 --> 00:17:32,217
has gone through those trials
and tribulations,

343
00:17:32,284 --> 00:17:34,753
-as well as former tag team champions…
-[Vic] Oh.

344
00:17:34,820 --> 00:17:38,690
…and running the new day clean out of NXT.

345
00:17:38,757 --> 00:17:40,159
You got to get those guys the props.

346
00:17:40,225 --> 00:17:42,227
[Vic] Nasty landing for Corbin
and Breakker--

347
00:17:42,294 --> 00:17:44,296
[Booker] Oh, yes, I like.
See what I'm talking about?

348
00:17:44,363 --> 00:17:46,265
[Vic] It's the same fate,
center of the ring

349
00:17:46,331 --> 00:17:48,333
and look who is standing tall.

350
00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:50,903
It is certainly the Gallus Boys on top.

351
00:17:50,969 --> 00:17:53,072
[inaudible]

352
00:17:53,138 --> 00:17:55,441
[Vic] Who's moving on to the next round
of the Dusty Cup?

353
00:17:55,507 --> 00:17:57,009
[Booker] Oh, yeah.

354
00:17:58,710 --> 00:18:00,079
[grunts]

355
00:18:00,145 --> 00:18:02,414
[Vic] Dusty Classic first round matchup.

356
00:18:02,481 --> 00:18:06,385
Breakker, Corbin taking on Gallus
as you saw through the commercial break.

357
00:18:06,452 --> 00:18:09,688
Really a 50-50 matchup
between these two teams.

358
00:18:09,755 --> 00:18:12,558
And, Booker, in your opinion,
what makes a good team?

359
00:18:12,624 --> 00:18:14,293
[Booker] I mean,
I look at both of these teams right here,

360
00:18:14,359 --> 00:18:16,795
and the one thing I always think about is…

361
00:18:16,862 --> 00:18:18,864
A big shot. Big shot.
Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

362
00:18:18,931 --> 00:18:21,333
[Vic] Into the cover to advance
to the second round.

363
00:18:21,400 --> 00:18:22,768
And Wolfgang breaks it up.

364
00:18:22,835 --> 00:18:26,004
[Booker] That right there,
you know, having that trust.

365
00:18:26,071 --> 00:18:28,006
Without a doubt, Vic,
you're trusting your partner

366
00:18:28,073 --> 00:18:31,143
to do his job
and make the right decisions.

367
00:18:31,210 --> 00:18:32,644
Just like that right there with that.

368
00:18:32,711 --> 00:18:35,114
-[Vic] Oh, wow.
-[Booker] Four superstars in the ring.

369
00:18:35,180 --> 00:18:39,017
[Vic] Referee starting to lose
a little bit of control in this matchup.

370
00:18:39,785 --> 00:18:42,221
I asked you about tag teams.
I mean, Book, you won gold.

371
00:18:42,287 --> 00:18:46,325
Wait a minute. Deep Six.
You won gold with four different partners.

372
00:18:46,391 --> 00:18:48,160
We're gonna see some unique pairings,

373
00:18:48,227 --> 00:18:51,396
and we've seen some unique pairings
work in the past.

374
00:18:51,463 --> 00:18:53,599
Could that be Corbin and Breakker?

375
00:18:53,665 --> 00:18:56,268
[Booker] No, I wouldn't even
call these guys an odd couple.

376
00:18:56,335 --> 00:18:59,071
Like I said, Vic,
if they are to jail for a minute,

377
00:18:59,138 --> 00:19:01,507
if they are to get on the same page
for one second,

378
00:19:01,573 --> 00:19:05,077
they can run through this tournament
with the greatest of ease.

379
00:19:05,144 --> 00:19:06,712
I really truly believe that.

380
00:19:06,778 --> 00:19:09,715
[Vic] There you see the Dusty Cup.
The finals at Vengeance Day.

381
00:19:09,781 --> 00:19:12,484
February the 4th.
Tickets at ticketmaster.com.

382

Our next premium live event.

383
00:19:13,852 --> 00:19:16,822
This is the first of two
opening round matchups.

384
00:19:16,889 --> 00:19:18,757
Breakker now taking out Wolfgang.

385
00:19:18,824 --> 00:19:22,661
[Booker] Yeah, normally Wolfgang
is the biggest guy in that square circle,

386
00:19:22,728 --> 00:19:26,932
but today he's in there with a couple
of bona fide heavyweights, man.

387
00:19:26,999 --> 00:19:30,802
[audience chanting]

388
00:19:30,869 --> 00:19:34,039
[Vic] Taking a look around. Take a look
at the field right now though, Book.

389
00:19:34,106 --> 00:19:37,709
Baron and Bron
are the two that are standing.

390
00:19:40,312 --> 00:19:42,681
[Vic] And Corbin muscling up Coffey.

391
00:19:42,748 --> 00:19:44,583
[Brooker] What a shot. What a shot, right?

392
00:19:44,650 --> 00:19:48,921
Look at the confidence on the face
of Baron Corbin right now, Vic.

393
00:19:48,987 --> 00:19:52,157
[audience cheering]

394
00:19:52,224 --> 00:19:55,160
[Vic] Corbin's fired up,
and some would've believed

395
00:19:55,227 --> 00:19:58,664
that it was all in Wolfgang
saving Mark Coffey for the moment.

396
00:19:58,730 --> 00:20:01,400
[Booker] I'm talking about
great tag team continuity right there.

397
00:20:01,466 --> 00:20:03,869
If I can call it a timeout for a second.

398
00:20:05,804 --> 00:20:07,806
[Vic] And wait a minute,
wait a minute. Oh.

399
00:20:10,275 --> 00:20:12,077
Baron just punched that post!

400
00:20:13,879 --> 00:20:18,383
And just like that, Booker,
Gallus has taken this match over.

401
00:20:18,450 --> 00:20:22,521
And could be punching their ticket
to round two.

402
00:20:22,588 --> 00:20:25,057
[Booker] Baron Corbin,
he threw that right hand

403
00:20:25,123 --> 00:20:28,760
like he was back in the Golden Gloves
tournament or something like that.

404
00:20:28,827 --> 00:20:30,796
He could have a broken hand, Vic.

405
00:20:30,862 --> 00:20:33,498
[inaudible]

406
00:20:33,565 --> 00:20:36,568
-Four!
-[Vic] I just peered up. Look at it.

407
00:20:37,469 --> 00:20:41,273
Bron Breakker. A look of worry
on Breakker's face.

408
00:20:42,741 --> 00:20:45,510
And, of course,
Gallus would love to add the Dusty Cup

409
00:20:45,577 --> 00:20:47,245
to their list of accomplishments.

410
00:20:47,312 --> 00:20:52,284
But take another look.
Baron Corbin, nothing but post.

411
00:20:52,351 --> 00:20:57,823
[audience chanting]

412
00:20:57,889 --> 00:21:00,959
[Vic] NXT universe letting Joe Coffey
hear it on the outside

413
00:21:01,026 --> 00:21:04,696
who's been screaming
just give us the trophy.

414
00:21:04,763 --> 00:21:05,897
You gonna have to earn it.

415
00:21:05,964 --> 00:21:09,835
This is the first matchup
in the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic.

416
00:21:09,901 --> 00:21:12,537
-Right now it is all Gallus.
-[Booker] Yes, man.

417
00:21:12,604 --> 00:21:16,775
I think about Gallus and this is just
seems to be another obstacle.

418
00:21:16,842 --> 00:21:19,678
And you know about obstacles, Vic.
Over, around, under.

419
00:21:19,745 --> 00:21:25,617
But now, Gallus Boys is going through
this tag team of Breakker and Corbin.

420
00:21:25,684 --> 00:21:28,553
[Vic] And this is where many believe
that Gallus will have the advantage

421
00:21:28,620 --> 00:21:31,490
in this opening round matchup
that they are a tag team

422
00:21:31,556 --> 00:21:32,624
as you pointed out earlier.

423
00:21:32,691 --> 00:21:36,128
That they've been in these deep waters
of tag team matchups.

424
00:21:36,194 --> 00:21:39,097
[Booker] Yes, indeed. I always know
what you're pointing…

425
00:21:39,164 --> 00:21:41,400
-[Vic] And a tag though.
-[Booker] Brothers to the bone.

426
00:21:41,466 --> 00:21:44,870
Oh, here we go. Here we go.
Here comes Breakker.

427
00:21:44,936 --> 00:21:48,206
[Vic] And in comes Bron.
The badass is here.

428
00:21:48,807 --> 00:21:53,011
And he's had a lot to think about.
Gutbuster takes out Wolfgang.

429
00:21:53,078 --> 00:21:55,047
Turning his attention
right to Mark Coffey.

430
00:21:55,113 --> 00:21:57,215
-Coffey just got caught.
-[Booker] What the…

431
00:21:57,282 --> 00:21:59,151
[Vic] An up and over look like a stutter.

432
00:21:59,217 --> 00:22:02,120
I don't necessarily know
what Bron did, but it was effective.

433
00:22:02,187 --> 00:22:05,090
-They get your stopwatch ready.
-[Booker] Oh, man.

434
00:22:05,157 --> 00:22:08,894
You see the quickness.
The movement of this young man.

435
00:22:08,960 --> 00:22:10,329
[Vic] You saw the quickness.

436
00:22:10,395 --> 00:22:13,432
You saw the speed.
And you saw the sudden impact.

437
00:22:13,498 --> 00:22:15,434
[audience barking]

438
00:22:17,002 --> 00:22:19,805
-[Booker] No, he's not gonna do that.
-[Vic] No way.

439
00:22:19,871 --> 00:22:22,307
[Booker] No way. Wow.

440
00:22:22,374 --> 00:22:26,578
[audience cheering]

441
00:22:26,645 --> 00:22:29,114
[Booker] Listen to the people.
What the hell is going on here?

442
00:22:29,181 --> 00:22:31,483
[audience chanting]

443
00:22:31,550 --> 00:22:33,985
It's over!

444
00:22:37,055 --> 00:22:38,290
[Vic] Oh, Corbin.

445
00:22:40,025 --> 00:22:45,564
[audience chanting]

446
00:22:45,630 --> 00:22:48,400
[Vic] Corbin tagged in. Corbin's legal.

447
00:22:48,467 --> 00:22:51,803
Spear from Breakker takes out Wolfgang.

448
00:22:52,504 --> 00:22:55,807
End of days to Mark Coffey.

449
00:22:55,874 --> 00:22:59,277
And it's the end of Dallas
and the Dusty Cup.

450
00:22:59,344 --> 00:23:00,712
[bell ringing]

451
00:23:01,980 --> 00:23:03,582
[Alicia] Here are your winners,

452
00:23:03,648 --> 00:23:10,489
the team of Bron Breakker
and Baron Corbin!

453
00:23:12,524 --> 00:23:14,259
[Vic] You're the Tag Team specialists.

454
00:23:15,260 --> 00:23:17,162
You're the multi-time champion.

455
00:23:17,229 --> 00:23:21,967
What do you make of Bron Breakker
and Baron Corbin?

456
00:23:22,033 --> 00:23:24,336
[Brooker] Sometimes they keep you in jail.
Check this out.

457
00:23:24,403 --> 00:23:26,505
Look at the strength
of Bron Breakker.

458
00:23:26,571 --> 00:23:30,408
Two for the price of one,
a little action to beat.

459
00:23:30,475 --> 00:23:34,746
[Vic] Oh, this was off a blind tag.
Baron Corbin tagged himself in.

460
00:23:34,813 --> 00:23:36,715
Bron Breakker took one for the team,

461
00:23:36,782 --> 00:23:39,751
saving Baron Corbin
away from the Wolfgang.

462
00:23:39,818 --> 00:23:45,624
And then in the end, Baron Corbin
was able to punch their ticket

463
00:23:45,690 --> 00:23:47,025
to the next round.

464
00:23:47,092 --> 00:23:51,062
And we have an updated look
at the Dusty Rhodes Classic.

465
00:23:51,129 --> 00:23:55,834
The first team to advance, Bron and Baron.

466
00:23:55,901 --> 00:23:59,304
[upbeat music playing]

467
00:23:59,371 --> 00:24:00,639
[Vic] And how good it must feel.

468
00:24:00,705 --> 00:24:05,710
Will their names be the ones etched
into the prestigious Dusty Cup?

469
00:24:07,212 --> 00:24:09,548
But what a way to kick off
the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic.

470
00:24:09,614 --> 00:24:13,151
Still one more
Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic matchup

471
00:24:13,218 --> 00:24:14,519
to come here tonight.

472
00:24:14,586 --> 00:24:16,955
But we wanna talk about something else
that took place last week,

473
00:24:17,022 --> 00:24:21,126
'cause it's certainly been some hard times
for Tiffany Stratton.

474
00:24:22,194 --> 00:24:25,430
[upbeat music playing]

475
00:24:35,440 --> 00:24:36,875
Any sign of her yet, guys?

476
00:24:36,942 --> 00:24:38,476
-Oh, nothing here.
-I don't see here.

477
00:24:38,543 --> 00:24:42,614
Late as I expected, which is why
I got to work early this morning.

478
00:24:42,681 --> 00:24:46,017
But today, little Miss Tiff Tiff
is gonna get some dirt

479
00:24:46,084 --> 00:24:47,986
-under her fingernails.
-[woman] Yeah, she is.

480
00:24:48,053 --> 00:24:49,321
[horse neighing]

481
00:24:51,189 --> 00:24:54,392
Oh, look, there she is now.

482
00:24:54,459 --> 00:24:58,029
[upbeat music playing]

483
00:25:08,073 --> 00:25:11,676
-You're late.
-I know.

484
00:25:11,743 --> 00:25:13,778
I had to make sure
I had the perfect outfit.

485
00:25:13,845 --> 00:25:16,882
You're not wearing that, are you?

486
00:25:16,948 --> 00:25:19,017
Tiffany, I had clothes for you.

487
00:25:20,519 --> 00:25:22,287
Ew! I'm not wearing that!

488
00:25:22,354 --> 00:25:26,491
Just because I got stuck
in this disgusting situation

489
00:25:26,558 --> 00:25:29,461
does not mean I can't look good doing it.

490
00:25:29,528 --> 00:25:33,698
-I'm good.
-Fine by me. Let's get to work.

491
00:25:41,973 --> 00:25:42,941
Ouch.

492
00:25:43,008 --> 00:25:46,778
What is wrong? We are just walking.
Real work hasn't even started yet.

493
00:25:47,545 --> 00:25:49,681
Oh, me? I'm perfect.

494
00:25:50,515 --> 00:25:54,786
Right. Okay, anyways,
there's a lotta work that we have to do.

495
00:25:54,853 --> 00:25:56,855
We're gonna muck the stalls,
feed the horses.

496
00:25:56,922 --> 00:25:58,089
I'm sorry.

497
00:25:58,156 --> 00:25:59,791
[horse neighs]

498
00:25:59,858 --> 00:26:01,793
I don't speak ranch.

499
00:26:01,860 --> 00:26:03,295
What does muck mean?

500
00:26:03,361 --> 00:26:06,498
Muck means clean.
It's okay, we'll get to it.

501
00:26:06,564 --> 00:26:09,901
Eventually, we'll clean the saddles
and the bridles.

502
00:26:09,968 --> 00:26:11,503
We'll wash the horses.

503
00:26:11,570 --> 00:26:14,172
-If you see any horse dumping--
-Horse dumping?

504
00:26:15,206 --> 00:26:16,875
Horse dumpings.

505
00:26:16,942 --> 00:26:19,511
Horse dropping. Horse poop.

506
00:26:20,312 --> 00:26:22,547
Yeah, horse [bleep].
If you see it, pick it up.

507
00:26:23,014 --> 00:26:23,882
Okay.

508
00:26:23,949 --> 00:26:25,350
[horse neighing]

509
00:26:25,417 --> 00:26:26,351
Let's go.

510
00:26:32,824 --> 00:26:34,492
[Vic] A little bit of hard work
will be good for her.

511
00:26:34,559 --> 00:26:37,963
But there's a superstar
who's not afraid to get her hands dirty.

512
00:26:38,029 --> 00:26:41,366
We'll hear from the NXT Women's Champion,
Lyra Valkyria,

513
00:26:41,433 --> 00:26:43,568
next live on NXT.

514
00:26:45,603 --> 00:26:48,607
[upbeat music playing]

515
00:26:51,142 --> 00:26:54,112
Well, you guys all saw
at the start of the show,

516
00:26:54,179 --> 00:26:57,782
Blair and I kicked the crap
outta each other at New Year's Evil.

517
00:26:57,849 --> 00:27:00,318
[audience cheering]

518
00:27:00,385 --> 00:27:05,924
But despite being in the deepest
women's division that WWE has to offer,

519
00:27:05,991 --> 00:27:10,829
I'm pretty confident that I'm gonna finish
2024 just as I started it

520
00:27:10,895 --> 00:27:13,565
as your NXT Women's Champion.

521
00:27:13,631 --> 00:27:16,501
[audience cheering]

522
00:27:17,902 --> 00:27:21,673
The thing about Blair is,
I know she's not going anywhere.

523
00:27:22,540 --> 00:27:25,710
I know wherever this title goes,
she will follow.

524
00:27:26,411 --> 00:27:28,847
But the question for now is,

525
00:27:28,913 --> 00:27:33,351
who am I gonna face in four weeks time
at Vengeance Day?

526
00:27:36,621 --> 00:27:40,492
Well, we're all gonna find out next week.

527
00:27:40,558 --> 00:27:43,028
Because I spoke to Ava today.

528
00:27:43,094 --> 00:27:46,398
And she told me
that we are gonna have ourselves

529
00:27:46,464 --> 00:27:49,968
a 20-Woman battle royal.

530
00:27:52,771 --> 00:27:53,938
With a twist.

531
00:27:54,539 --> 00:27:58,677
Because when that battle royal
comes down to the final four competitors,

532
00:27:58,743 --> 00:28:01,780
it becomes a Fatal 4-Way.

533
00:28:01,846 --> 00:28:06,484
And it's the winner of that Fatal 4-Way
that will go on to meet me

534
00:28:06,551 --> 00:28:09,888
for the NXT Women's Championship
at Vengeance Day.

535
00:28:09,954 --> 00:28:11,456
["Triumph" song playing]

536
00:28:11,523 --> 00:28:13,758
[Lola Vice] Lyra Valkyria.

537
00:28:15,026 --> 00:28:18,063
Lyra Valkyria.

538
00:28:19,364 --> 00:28:22,033
You're only standing in this ring

539
00:28:22,100 --> 00:28:25,970
because your real old friend Tatum Paxley
saved your ass last week.

540
00:28:26,037 --> 00:28:27,238
We are not friends.

541
00:28:27,305 --> 00:28:31,342
Unfortunately, for you,
I still have my contract.

542
00:28:31,409 --> 00:28:36,081
Which means
I can cash this baby in whenever I want.

543
00:28:36,147 --> 00:28:37,982
[speaking Spanish]

544
00:28:38,049 --> 00:28:41,252
Yeah, okay, whenever you want,
anytime you want.

545
00:28:41,319 --> 00:28:44,556
Lola, I get it, okay?

546
00:28:44,622 --> 00:28:45,957
But what happened?

547
00:28:46,024 --> 00:28:50,128
I really thought when you came in here
with your MMA background,

548
00:28:50,195 --> 00:28:52,230
and all the hype you had
coming in the door,

549
00:28:52,297 --> 00:28:56,434
that you were gonna be the one
to turn this place upside down.

550
00:28:57,702 --> 00:29:02,273
And all I ever see you do is talk,
and talk, and talk,

551
00:29:02,340 --> 00:29:05,844
and talk about what you're gonna do.

552
00:29:09,047 --> 00:29:10,348
So what is it, Lola?

553
00:29:11,149 --> 00:29:15,053
Maybe you're confused.
Maybe you're not sure what I'm here to do.

554
00:29:15,120 --> 00:29:18,890
Let me tell you, I'm not here to watch
you shake your arse on Instagram, okay?

555
00:29:18,957 --> 00:29:21,860
[audience cheering]

556
00:29:21,926 --> 00:29:25,396
I am here because I wanna fight

557
00:29:25,463 --> 00:29:28,766
Lola Vice, the Caged Fighter.

558
00:29:31,136 --> 00:29:35,140
See these people?
Some of them don't like you.

559
00:29:36,207 --> 00:29:38,209
A lotta them do like you.

560
00:29:40,044 --> 00:29:42,313
But I think
one thing we can all agree on is that

561
00:29:42,380 --> 00:29:44,983
everybody wants to see this match happen.

562
00:29:45,049 --> 00:29:47,085
[audience cheering]

563
00:29:47,152 --> 00:29:50,522
-[speaking Spanish]
-[chuckles]

564
00:29:51,256 --> 00:29:54,659
Everyone loves me. I can't help it.

565
00:29:54,726 --> 00:30:00,131
These people are like sheep.
They follow my every move.

566
00:30:00,198 --> 00:30:02,600
[audience booing]

567
00:30:02,667 --> 00:30:07,372
Pero I can't blame them.
They love my Latina heat.

568
00:30:07,438 --> 00:30:11,042
Oh. Oh, you're Latina heat.

569
00:30:12,477 --> 00:30:17,882
Where is it? Because the only Latina heat
I see is coming from Elektra Lopez.

570
00:30:18,550 --> 00:30:20,652
La Madrina.

571
00:30:20,718 --> 00:30:24,622
The woman that held
Legado del Fantasma together.

572
00:30:26,424 --> 00:30:28,827
Actually, I'm just wondering,

573
00:30:28,893 --> 00:30:31,229
when is it you plan on breaking it
to your bestie here

574
00:30:31,296 --> 00:30:34,432
that you have no intention
of using that contract

575
00:30:34,499 --> 00:30:37,035
to gain yourself a tag team title match?

576
00:30:39,204 --> 00:30:41,940
[applauding]

577
00:30:42,006 --> 00:30:45,810
Do you know what, Lola?
I'll make it easy for you.

578
00:30:45,877 --> 00:30:49,814
Let's just have us a title match
right here, right now.

579
00:30:49,881 --> 00:30:52,684
Demi and referee out here. Let's do this.

580
00:30:52,750 --> 00:30:54,285
[Vic] I don't hear any argument from you,
Book.

581
00:30:54,352 --> 00:30:56,020
[Booker] Shucky ducky quack quack.

582
00:30:56,087 --> 00:30:59,290
[Vic] And here comes our first show.
And what a right hand.

583
00:30:59,357 --> 00:31:01,125
And Lopez, Vice.

584
00:31:01,192 --> 00:31:04,629
[grunting]

585
00:31:04,696 --> 00:31:07,765
[Vic] All by herself
is the NXT Women's Champion.

586
00:31:07,832 --> 00:31:10,568
-It's a two-on-one assault.
-[Booker] Yeah, Vic, this is…

587
00:31:10,635 --> 00:31:12,403
[Vic] Paxley… Wait a minute, Tana Paxley!

588
00:31:12,470 --> 00:31:17,575
-[Booker] What? What's she doing here?
-[Vic] Paxley is out to even the odds.

589
00:31:17,642 --> 00:31:21,646
[audience cheering]

590
00:31:21,713 --> 00:31:28,186
-[Vic] It has been chaotic all night long.
-You two against us two any time.

591
00:31:29,220 --> 00:31:31,889
-Yes, any time!
-[inaudible]

592
00:31:31,956 --> 00:31:33,791
We're ready for you. You wanna go?

593
00:31:33,858 --> 00:31:35,994
-Let's go!
-[inaudible] and me,

594
00:31:36,060 --> 00:31:37,395
we'll take you two on any time!

595
00:31:37,462 --> 00:31:39,998
[Vic] Well, these two may be
facing each other in the future,

596
00:31:40,064 --> 00:31:42,800
but for metaphor,
their future became their present.

597
00:31:42,867 --> 00:31:45,136
We're meant to be together!

598
00:31:45,203 --> 00:31:47,739
-[woman 1] Oh, no.
-[man] Oh, God.

599
00:31:47,805 --> 00:31:50,041
[man] Wait, wait, wait.
Look at this, look at this.

600
00:31:52,010 --> 00:31:54,579
-[woman 1] Just like that.
-You've to follow orders.

601
00:31:54,646 --> 00:31:56,214
-[inaudible]
-Listen to this thing.

602
00:31:56,281 --> 00:31:58,116
They break up, we cake up.

603
00:31:58,182 --> 00:32:04,322
-We love cake!
-Let's do this [inaudible].

604
00:32:04,389 --> 00:32:06,758
That's a really cute one, guys. I like it.
What about me?

605
00:32:06,824 --> 00:32:09,093
-Hi, Josh.
-Sorry you had to see that, Josh Briggs.

606
00:32:09,160 --> 00:32:12,363
You know, the group
that triggered Josh's breakup.

607
00:32:12,430 --> 00:32:14,198
You think we broke up because of you guys?

608
00:32:14,265 --> 00:32:17,001
-Of course! Absolutely!
-That's completely wrong.

609
00:32:17,068 --> 00:32:21,339
Be honest. This is a safe space.
Lay it on, mate.

610
00:32:21,406 --> 00:32:24,676
You need to get your head outta your ass,
because we all had different goals,

611
00:32:24,742 --> 00:32:26,144
and mine was to become a champion.

612
00:32:26,210 --> 00:32:29,347
And if it wasn't
for Captain Sidekick right there,

613
00:32:29,414 --> 00:32:31,182
-I would be the Heritage Cup Champion.
-Don't touch the cup.

614
00:32:31,249 --> 00:32:33,685
You know what?
I think I deserve a rematch.

615
00:32:33,751 --> 00:32:35,353
-[woman 2] A rematch?
-Absolutely.

616
00:32:35,420 --> 00:32:39,357
Josh! Josh, a rematch!
You lost. You got disqualified.

617
00:32:39,424 --> 00:32:42,460
-So, back in the line.
-Is that a [inaudible]?

618
00:32:42,527 --> 00:32:44,829
-Who are you calling a sidekick?
-That would be you.

619
00:32:44,896 --> 00:32:46,931
-Me.
-You got a problem with it?

620
00:32:46,998 --> 00:32:50,435
-We can handle it tonight.
-Oh, yes, I have a problem.

621
00:32:52,804 --> 00:32:56,874
Look, Ava. The evidence clearly shows
my foot underneath the ropes.

622
00:32:56,941 --> 00:33:00,545
And per the WWE bylaws,
this constitutes as a rope break.

623
00:33:00,611 --> 00:33:02,880
Luca, I'm not a ref.
There's nothing I can do about it.

624
00:33:02,947 --> 00:33:04,048
I'm waiting for someone right now,

625
00:33:04,115 --> 00:33:06,718
but I promise,
I'll pass your concerns along.

626
00:33:06,784 --> 00:33:08,286
-Fair enough.
-Ava.

627
00:33:08,353 --> 00:33:09,220
-Dragon.
-Que pasa?

628
00:33:09,287 --> 00:33:12,156
-How are you?
-I'm good. Hey, I'm sorry about last week.

629
00:33:12,223 --> 00:33:16,027
-Oh, that's okay.
-But I saw LWO took care of things.

630
00:33:16,094 --> 00:33:20,798
And my visa issues are all done.
I'm back, ready to go.

631
00:33:20,865 --> 00:33:22,166
That's great.
I was happy to have you back.

632
00:33:22,233 --> 00:33:25,370
Well, well, well. That is great.

633
00:33:25,436 --> 00:33:28,206
And I'm assuming,
since no mas visa issues,

634
00:33:28,272 --> 00:33:31,542
that means open challenges
are back on the table.

635
00:33:31,609 --> 00:33:35,747
-Am I wrong?
-I was gonna discuss that.

636
00:33:35,813 --> 00:33:39,350
You know, Dragon Lee is always ready.

637
00:33:39,417 --> 00:33:41,619
Yeah, well, I'm always ready, too, amigo.

638
00:33:41,686 --> 00:33:44,756
I'm so ready, in fact,
I had this contract drafted up,

639
00:33:44,822 --> 00:33:48,126
so you don't have to go out there
and wait for a challenger.

640
00:33:48,192 --> 00:33:50,962
All you gotta do is sign.

641
00:33:52,063 --> 00:33:54,332
[speaking Spanish]

642
00:33:56,768 --> 00:34:01,506
-And that's gonna start tonight.
-I guess it's a done deal, then.

643
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:06,043
-I guess so.
-Well, see you tonight, cabron.

644
00:34:07,211 --> 00:34:09,914
-What did he just call me?
-Don't worry about it.

645
00:34:11,149 --> 00:34:16,187
[Vic] Booker, it looks like we have
another championship match here tonight.

646
00:34:16,254 --> 00:34:23,227
[upbeat music playing]

647
00:34:28,933 --> 00:34:35,940
Thank you, [inaudible].
We're gonna thank you.

648
00:34:38,876 --> 00:34:40,511
[bell ringing]

649
00:34:40,578 --> 00:34:44,048
[Alicia] The following contest
is scheduled for one fall.

650
00:34:44,115 --> 00:34:50,087
Representing Meta-Four, Oro Mensah!

651
00:34:50,154 --> 00:34:55,993
[upbeat music playing]

652
00:35:16,114 --> 00:35:18,483
[Booker] Did you get that?
Did you get that thing?

653
00:35:18,549 --> 00:35:20,852
-Did you get it? No, no, no, no, no.
-[Vic] He thought he had it for a while.

654
00:35:20,918 --> 00:35:25,089
[Booker] Did you get that, Meta-Four?
Do you feel it?

655
00:35:26,057 --> 00:35:27,525
[Vic] You are on another level
here tonight.

656
00:35:27,592 --> 00:35:29,894
-[Booker laughs]
-[bell ringing]

657
00:35:29,961 --> 00:35:32,864
[Vic] What we might be getting
out of Josh Briggs

658
00:35:32,930 --> 00:35:34,832
is maybe a turning point in his career,

659
00:35:34,899 --> 00:35:38,870
because it's another solo opportunity
right now for Briggs.

660
00:35:38,936 --> 00:35:40,605
-[Booker] Show me some.
-[Vic] And you have an eye for talent.

661
00:35:40,671 --> 00:35:42,907
Can Briggs break through
like he did at Deadline?

662
00:35:42,974 --> 00:35:43,975
[Vic] He showed you something there?

663
00:35:44,041 --> 00:35:45,443
[Booker] I wanna see this kid
show me something.

664
00:35:45,510 --> 00:35:48,679
He has something, Vic.
He definitely passes that airport test.

665
00:35:48,746 --> 00:35:51,782
He doesn't look like he's gonna a hoedown
or anything tonight,

666
00:35:51,849 --> 00:35:54,952
so it looks like he means business.
I like it.

667
00:35:55,019 --> 00:35:56,487
[Vic] I wanna go back
to some other business.

668
00:35:56,554 --> 00:35:59,590
We always talk about
the Czechs Championships.

669
00:35:59,657 --> 00:36:03,027
Does Briggs deserve another opportunity
at the Heritage Cup,

670
00:36:03,094 --> 00:36:04,762
currently held by Noam Dar?

671
00:36:04,829 --> 00:36:08,599
[Booker] No. When you lose a match,
a fair and square,

672
00:36:08,666 --> 00:36:11,736
why should you get a rematch,
another opportunity?

673
00:36:11,802 --> 00:36:14,038
-No, no, no.
-[Vic] It wasn't fare and square.

674
00:36:14,105 --> 00:36:18,009
[Booker] You go to the back of the line
and start all over again,

675
00:36:18,075 --> 00:36:19,911
just like Noam Dar said.

676
00:36:19,977 --> 00:36:23,414
Oh, look at the strength. Boom.
Nasty landing.

677
00:36:23,481 --> 00:36:25,917
[Vic] And it is official,
as we saw moments ago.

678
00:36:25,983 --> 00:36:29,687
North American Championship
will be defended tonight.

679
00:36:29,754 --> 00:36:32,356
[Vic] Dragon Lee,
Lexis King in our main event.

680
00:36:32,423 --> 00:36:33,958
-[Booker] I like that.
-[Vic] Oh!

681
00:36:34,025 --> 00:36:37,194
And I'm certainly certain
that you like that kick

682
00:36:37,261 --> 00:36:40,164
because of Noam Dar on the outside,
the referee distracted,

683
00:36:40,231 --> 00:36:42,300
Meta-Four doing Meta-Four things.

684
00:36:42,366 --> 00:36:45,069
-Cutting corners.
-[Booker] Main man Mensah, he's capable.

685
00:36:45,136 --> 00:36:49,507
And he's gonna go out here tonight
and stop, I'm talking about stymie,

686
00:36:49,574 --> 00:36:52,476
the momentum of one Josh Briggs.

687
00:36:52,543 --> 00:36:55,913
[Vic] Well, now into the cover again.
Shoulders down near-fall.

688
00:36:55,980 --> 00:36:58,816
Maybe Mensah should follow
in Briggs' footsteps.

689
00:36:58,883 --> 00:37:01,252
-[Booker] What are you talking about?
-[Vic] Branch out a little bit.

690
00:37:01,319 --> 00:37:04,555
What's wrong with having some goals?
Individual goals.

691
00:37:04,622 --> 00:37:06,390
-[Booker] Why would you wanna be making…
-[Vic] Individual championships.

692
00:37:06,457 --> 00:37:10,494
…history with one of the greatest factions
of all time, Meta-Four.

693
00:37:10,561 --> 00:37:13,130
-What are you thinking?
-[Vic] You wanna be a Meta-Four.

694
00:37:13,197 --> 00:37:15,366
-You wanna have Meta-Five.
-[Booker] I'd love to be apart of that.

695
00:37:15,433 --> 00:37:18,903
[Vic] Another cover this time. Mensah
with the leg and a kick out by Briggs.

696
00:37:20,404 --> 00:37:23,874
Mora Mensah has been on top
of his game in this matchup.

697
00:37:23,941 --> 00:37:26,077
Jackson looking on with the Lash Legend.

698
00:37:26,143 --> 00:37:29,680
Lash Legend, excuse me,
the aforementioned Noam Dar.

699
00:37:29,747 --> 00:37:30,615
[Booker] Mensah under the…

700
00:37:30,681 --> 00:37:32,183
[Vic] One more time into a cover,
kick out.

701
00:37:32,250 --> 00:37:35,753
[Booker] Under the expert tutelage
of one Noam Dar.

702
00:37:35,820 --> 00:37:39,924
I mean, you couldn't have
a better teacher.

703
00:37:39,991 --> 00:37:43,861
[Vic] It's pretty braggadocious though,
Meta-Four, to think that Briggs,

704
00:37:43,928 --> 00:37:46,697
Jensen, and Fallon Henley
broke up because of him.

705
00:37:46,764 --> 00:37:50,201
[Booker] Can I ask you a question, Vic?
Do you know why they broke up?

706
00:37:50,268 --> 00:37:52,670
[Vic] Yes, they did agree to go on
their separate ways for individual goals.

707
00:37:52,737 --> 00:37:53,671
[Booker] That's what you hard.

708
00:37:53,738 --> 00:37:55,339
-That's what they tell me.
-[Vic] That's what they said.

709
00:37:55,406 --> 00:37:56,674
You got to believe what they said.

710
00:37:56,741 --> 00:38:00,278
[Booker] Maybe it's exactly
what Meta-Four was talking about.

711
00:38:00,344 --> 00:38:01,979
[Vic] He's talking about
checks and championships, right?

712
00:38:02,046 --> 00:38:04,548
That's what they're looking for,
checks, championships,

713
00:38:04,615 --> 00:38:06,417
and all three of them
will be a happy little family.

714
00:38:06,484 --> 00:38:08,286
Look, [inaudible] good job.

715
00:38:08,352 --> 00:38:11,222
Get their names right. Yeah, it ain't
working well when you screw up, does it?

716
00:38:11,288 --> 00:38:15,693
Off the top goes Mensah, into the cover.
Hook of the leg, and another near-fall.

717
00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:16,961
[Booker] Jensen feel the same.

718
00:38:17,028 --> 00:38:19,163
I'm saying, Jensen,
do you feel the same way?

719
00:38:19,230 --> 00:38:21,399
-Do you feel the same way?
-[Vic] Obviously, he does, yes.

720
00:38:21,465 --> 00:38:25,136
[Booker] You can see the look in his eye
like a little, pretty puppy

721
00:38:25,202 --> 00:38:27,605
seeing his master
leave the house every week.

722
00:38:27,672 --> 00:38:30,308
He's wondering, is he ever
going to come back home?

723
00:38:30,374 --> 00:38:31,409
That's what he's thinking.

724
00:38:31,475 --> 00:38:33,711
[Vic] Right now Oro Mensah
might wanna rethink his strategy

725
00:38:33,778 --> 00:38:37,581
because all he has done
is anger Josh Briggs.

726
00:38:37,648 --> 00:38:39,250
[Booker] I like it.

727
00:38:39,317 --> 00:38:43,387
This kid has all the tools
to be a great singles champion.

728
00:38:43,454 --> 00:38:48,059
[Vic] Jackson, Noam Dar,
the official distracted one more time,

729
00:38:48,125 --> 00:38:50,161
doesn't pay off for Mensah.

730
00:38:50,227 --> 00:38:54,865
-Who gets planted? Steamroll by Briggs.
-One, two, three.

731
00:38:54,932 --> 00:38:57,468
-[audience cheering]
-[bell ringing]

732
00:38:58,569 --> 00:39:02,807
[Alicia] Here is your winner, Josh Briggs.

733
00:39:02,873 --> 00:39:08,112
[Vic] Briggs called Mensah,
Noam Dar's sidekick earlier tonight.

734
00:39:08,179 --> 00:39:10,014
Oro didn't like the nickname.

735
00:39:10,081 --> 00:39:15,486
Surely, didn't like the closing moments,
and did not like that chokeslam,

736
00:39:15,553 --> 00:39:17,888
which really was
a turning point for Briggs.

737
00:39:17,955 --> 00:39:21,859
Referee was distracted.
Second time not the charm for Meta-Four.

738
00:39:21,926 --> 00:39:25,096
Bam! Crash and burn, and boom!

739
00:39:25,162 --> 00:39:28,232
Briggs planting Oro Mensah here tonight

740
00:39:28,299 --> 00:39:33,304
and staring a hole through
the Heritage Cup Champion, Noam Dar.

741
00:39:33,371 --> 00:39:37,608
And one thing for sure,
Briggs is no one's sidekick.

742
00:39:37,675 --> 00:39:40,678
[upbeat music playing]

743
00:39:43,914 --> 00:39:48,386
[Vic] OTM looking to add gold
to their waists here tonight.

744
00:39:48,452 --> 00:39:51,021
Huge championship opportunity in moments,

745
00:39:51,088 --> 00:39:53,991
but to do so,
they're gonna have to beat the champs,

746
00:39:54,058 --> 00:39:59,063
the family, defensive tag team titles,
live next on NXT.

747
00:40:02,566 --> 00:40:06,804
[whimsical music playing]

748
00:40:08,072 --> 00:40:10,641
[horse neighing]

749
00:40:26,190 --> 00:40:27,358
Ugh.

750
00:40:29,193 --> 00:40:34,131
I'm done now. Can we go sit down?
My feet are killing me in these heels.

751
00:40:34,198 --> 00:40:36,834
No, that was only task number one.

752
00:40:38,803 --> 00:40:42,206
Here, Fallon,
the horse of the thing again.

753
00:40:43,274 --> 00:40:44,942
So we're gonna need a washer.

754
00:40:47,478 --> 00:40:48,846
That's all you, Buttercup.

755
00:40:49,580 --> 00:40:51,649
Ew. Don't call me Buttercup.

756
00:40:52,416 --> 00:40:54,652
I didn't. That's the horse's name.

757
00:40:56,620 --> 00:40:57,655
Buttercup.

758
00:40:58,756 --> 00:41:03,127
I am not doing that.
I am so not doing that.

759
00:41:03,194 --> 00:41:04,695
[purring]

760
00:41:05,763 --> 00:41:08,299
Tiffany meet Buttercup.

761
00:41:12,403 --> 00:41:13,637
Have fun.

762
00:41:15,573 --> 00:41:17,842
-Be good to me, please.
-[purring]

763
00:41:17,908 --> 00:41:22,146
[upbeat music playing]

764
00:41:31,522 --> 00:41:35,693
[horse neighing]

765
00:41:47,271 --> 00:41:51,509
Okay, now I'm done.
I need a shower, new clothes,

766
00:41:51,575 --> 00:41:53,444
and I need to be disinfected.

767
00:41:53,511 --> 00:41:57,014
So, thank you very much, Fallon.
I hope you enjoyed the show.

768
00:41:57,081 --> 00:41:59,283
I hope it was a thrill of a lifetime.

769
00:41:59,350 --> 00:42:01,352
It's been a long day, hasn't it?

770
00:42:01,919 --> 00:42:05,022
But you can't put a clean horse
in a dirty stall, can you?

771
00:42:05,756 --> 00:42:07,491
I don't see why not.

772
00:42:07,558 --> 00:42:09,827
They're filthy animals to begin with,

773
00:42:09,894 --> 00:42:13,397
and they sleep on the hay
that I just moved, right?

774
00:42:14,598 --> 00:42:16,600
Time to muck some stalls.

775
00:42:17,401 --> 00:42:18,903
Time to muck some stalls?

776
00:42:20,237 --> 00:42:22,106
Muck this. Muck that.

777
00:42:22,673 --> 00:42:26,377
What is that smell?
Look, it's pink, just for you.

778
00:42:26,911 --> 00:42:29,046
You're almost done. Get to mucking.

779
00:42:29,113 --> 00:42:30,247
[gasps]

780
00:42:31,081 --> 00:42:34,018
-[buzzing]
-[gasps]

781
00:42:38,956 --> 00:42:41,358
[Vic] Oh, Book,
she's certainly getting those stalls

782
00:42:41,425 --> 00:42:44,028
in tip-top, tippy shape, isn't she?

783
00:42:45,429 --> 00:42:47,798
[Booker] I don't like that. Come on.

784
00:42:53,971 --> 00:42:56,140
-[Vic] Well, you do like this then.
-[Booker] Oh, yes.

785
00:42:56,840 --> 00:42:58,642
You do like Bronco Nima.

786
00:42:58,709 --> 00:43:00,544
-[Booker] Nima.
-[Vic] Lucian Price.

787
00:43:00,611 --> 00:43:02,646
-Price.
-[Vic] SCRYPTS.

788
00:43:03,714 --> 00:43:04,982
Are they ready though for this match?

789
00:43:05,049 --> 00:43:06,684
[Booker] Oh, jeez, man, oh, jeez.

790
00:43:06,750 --> 00:43:09,019
Look to make a name for themselves.

791
00:43:09,086 --> 00:43:12,222
Look to have a moment here tonight.
You say, oh, they're ready.

792
00:43:12,289 --> 00:43:16,260
You're not gonna know that,
there's time until it happens.

793
00:43:16,327 --> 00:43:21,799
And with SCRYPTS at the end, Vic,
anything can happen, man.

794
00:43:21,865 --> 00:43:23,467
I like this trio.

795
00:43:23,534 --> 00:43:27,371
[inaudible]

796
00:43:29,506 --> 00:43:32,509
["Strictly Business" music playing]

797
00:43:42,519 --> 00:43:47,324
[Vic] Well, here comes another trio
that the NXT universe is behind.

798
00:43:47,391 --> 00:43:51,595
But I wanna talk about the duo
of D'Angelo, of Stacks.

799
00:43:52,696 --> 00:43:55,899
I think it's safe to say, Booker,

800
00:43:55,966 --> 00:44:00,738
that the family has not faced
a duo quite like OTM--

801
00:44:00,804 --> 00:44:02,740
[Booker] There's a trio now though, Vic.
There's a trio.

802
00:44:02,806 --> 00:44:08,379
Let's not forget about
Adriana Rizzo from the block. Oh, yeah.

803
00:44:08,445 --> 00:44:10,647
[Vic] I just said they're a trio
that everyone likes,

804
00:44:10,714 --> 00:44:14,585
but I wanna talk about the duo
who has yet to face something like OTM.

805
00:44:14,652 --> 00:44:15,853
-[Booker] Hey, man.
-[Vic] Never mind.

806
00:44:15,919 --> 00:44:18,622
[Booker] No, no, both of these teams
are from the streets.

807
00:44:18,689 --> 00:44:24,995
They know what it takes to make it
out of the mud, so to speak.

808
00:44:25,062 --> 00:44:26,263
Oh, yes.

809
00:44:26,330 --> 00:44:30,834

live on NXT.

scheduled for one fall

812
00:44:37,374 --> 00:44:43,914
is for the NXT Tag Team Championship.

accompanied by SCRYPTS,

the team of Lucien Price and Bronco Nima.

accompanied by Adriana Rizzo,

817
00:45:05,269 --> 00:45:10,474
they are the NXT Tag Team Champions,

818
00:45:10,541 --> 00:45:12,643
Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo,

819
00:45:12,710 --> 00:45:16,013
and The Don of NXT,

820
00:45:16,080 --> 00:45:20,584
Tony D'Angelo.

821
00:45:20,651 --> 00:45:22,086
[audience cheering]

822
00:45:22,152 --> 00:45:23,253
[Vic] Big matchup, of course,

823
00:45:23,320 --> 00:45:27,758
this is the first of two championship
matchups here tonight

824
00:45:27,825 --> 00:45:29,860
because Dragon Lee will defend

825
00:45:29,927 --> 00:45:32,629
the North American Championship
later on tonight

826
00:45:32,696 --> 00:45:35,199
against Lexis King in our main event.

827
00:45:35,265 --> 00:45:38,202
And it's really been about
the tag team competition here at NXT,

828
00:45:38,268 --> 00:45:40,938
the start
of the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic.

829
00:45:41,004 --> 00:45:43,607
And I really wanna bring that up
when it comes to the family.

830
00:45:43,674 --> 00:45:45,609
Are they gonna be occupied, Booker,
do you think,

831
00:45:45,676 --> 00:45:49,980
by the ongoing Dusty Cup, which, again,
we saw Bron Breakker, Baron Corbin,

832
00:45:50,047 --> 00:45:50,948
first team to advance.

833
00:45:51,014 --> 00:45:54,518
[Booker] I like the family staying sharp,

834
00:45:54,585 --> 00:45:58,355
not sitting idle by, just waiting
for the next opponent.

835
00:45:58,422 --> 00:46:01,692
You got to go out there and you got
to stay ready in order to be ready.

836
00:46:01,759 --> 00:46:04,895
Oh, big shot there by Bronco Nima.

837
00:46:04,962 --> 00:46:07,564
[Vic] Nima now throwing a right hand.
Stacks able to counter for a moment.

838
00:46:07,631 --> 00:46:11,702
Stacks trying to fight back.
Able to sidestep Nima for a moment.

839
00:46:11,769 --> 00:46:12,736
Gets caught.

840
00:46:12,803 --> 00:46:17,040
This is the power advantage that OTM
is gonna have in this matchup.

841
00:46:17,107 --> 00:46:22,246
As a tag was made, D'Angelo's now legal.
And caught in no man's land was Bronco.

842
00:46:22,312 --> 00:46:25,616
[Booker] A little inexperienced there.
Got caught on the wrong side of town.

843
00:46:25,682 --> 00:46:29,253
But Nima, he can fix that
because look at this guy.

844
00:46:29,319 --> 00:46:33,357
He's a monster, Vic.
Look at the muscle on this guy.

845
00:46:33,423 --> 00:46:35,425
[Vic] Somehow, some way,
D'Angelo did not go down.

846
00:46:35,492 --> 00:46:38,662
A tag was made. Stacks now legal.
Look for the two-for-one.

847
00:46:38,729 --> 00:46:41,198
-Finally, taking the big fella down.
-[Booker] Just inexperienced there.

848
00:46:41,265 --> 00:46:44,902
Just inexperienced on these
two young up-and-comers.

849
00:46:44,968 --> 00:46:47,037
But here comes Lucien Price.

850
00:46:47,104 --> 00:46:49,873
[Vic] Price tagging
in all four superstars in the ring.

851
00:46:49,940 --> 00:46:52,209
Referee might be losing
a little bit of control in this match.

852
00:46:52,276 --> 00:46:55,679
And the power again
coming in for the challengers.

853
00:46:55,746 --> 00:46:57,414
And you saw SCRYPTS on the outside.

854
00:46:57,481 --> 00:47:00,751
How has SCRYPTS
flipped the script for OTM?

855
00:47:00,817 --> 00:47:03,320
[Booker] You need that legitimizer, Vic.

856
00:47:03,387 --> 00:47:06,523
You need that someone to guide you
in the right direction.

857
00:47:06,590 --> 00:47:08,125
SCRYPTS, he's been there.

858
00:47:08,192 --> 00:47:10,627
He knows what it's like
to work at the next level.

859
00:47:10,694 --> 00:47:13,497
[Vic] He certainly does.
But right now, he's also taking a look

860
00:47:13,564 --> 00:47:14,965
at a two-for-one on the other side.

861
00:47:15,032 --> 00:47:18,368
And the family knows this is gonna be
unlike any challenge

862
00:47:18,435 --> 00:47:20,404
they've faced here in NXT,

863
00:47:20,470 --> 00:47:24,341
especially since becoming
the NXT Tag Team Champions.

864
00:47:24,408 --> 00:47:28,045
Into the cover, maybe goes D'Angelo.
Hook of the leg, titles on the line.

865
00:47:28,111 --> 00:47:29,947
And a quick kickout.

866
00:47:30,881 --> 00:47:34,484
Want to go back and talk about the family,
because you see on the outside,

867
00:47:34,551 --> 00:47:36,687
you see what they call the glue, Rizzo.

868
00:47:36,753 --> 00:47:39,489
She certainly has been
beneficial for the family,

869
00:47:39,556 --> 00:47:43,827
but now getting first-hand look
at the tag team champions

870
00:47:43,894 --> 00:47:47,331
as up high and crashing down goes Stacks.

871
00:47:47,397 --> 00:47:50,467
Into another cover, another count,
and another near-fall

872
00:47:50,534 --> 00:47:52,102
with the titles on the line.

873
00:47:52,169 --> 00:47:55,639
How beneficial can she be
for the tag team champions?

874
00:47:55,706 --> 00:47:58,108
[Booker] You're talking about
checks and balances, Vic.

875
00:47:58,175 --> 00:48:01,778
You need somebody in your corner
that can make sure everything is right.

876
00:48:01,845 --> 00:48:03,814
And that's like Rizzo from the block, Vic.

877
00:48:03,881 --> 00:48:06,650
Never underestimate
the power of the female.

878
00:48:06,717 --> 00:48:07,851
Don't do it, man.

879
00:48:07,918 --> 00:48:10,888
Oh, wow. Wow.

880
00:48:10,954 --> 00:48:12,623
[Vic] Well, Stacks thought
it was a cheap shot.

881
00:48:12,689 --> 00:48:16,994
Turning back around, and now Stacks
trying to turn things around for his team.

882
00:48:17,060 --> 00:48:18,061
He's got to remember though,

883
00:48:18,128 --> 00:48:20,230
he is not legal superstar,
that being Price.

884
00:48:20,297 --> 00:48:24,201
It is Bronco Nima.
Oh, and Nima hoisting up Stacks.

885
00:48:24,268 --> 00:48:26,770
-And that is gonna be a nasty landing.
-[audience booing]

886
00:48:27,504 --> 00:48:29,873
[screaming]

887
00:48:29,940 --> 00:48:32,109
Tag team titles on the line.

888
00:48:32,175 --> 00:48:35,345
It's over with. It's over with.

889
00:48:36,546 --> 00:48:39,783
[Vic] Back live on NXT,
the NXT Tag Team titles on the line.

890
00:48:39,850 --> 00:48:43,353
The champions right now
being rocked by the challengers,

891
00:48:43,420 --> 00:48:47,291
and Nima with a cheap shot
taking out Toni D'Angelo.

892
00:48:47,357 --> 00:48:52,996
And Stacks is in a bad way right now
as it has been all OTM.

893
00:48:53,063 --> 00:48:55,599
And during the break, they just continue

894
00:48:55,666 --> 00:49:00,103
to apply the offensive pressure
with some unique offense.

895
00:49:00,170 --> 00:49:02,239
SCRYPTS, all smiles.

896
00:49:02,306 --> 00:49:06,143
And OTM has been doing
all the dirty work in this matchup.

897
00:49:06,209 --> 00:49:08,712
Take a look at these shots from Price.

898
00:49:08,779 --> 00:49:13,083
[Booker] Those clubbing forearmed shots
remind me of one big Van Vader.

899
00:49:13,150 --> 00:49:14,217
God rest his soul.

900
00:49:14,284 --> 00:49:17,854
I'm sure he'd be proud
of those forearms right there, Vic.

901
00:49:17,921 --> 00:49:19,990
[Vic] Stacks doing his best
to try to fight over to his corner,

902
00:49:20,057 --> 00:49:22,092
but a long way from his partner.

903
00:49:22,159 --> 00:49:25,462
And these are two teams who certainly
come from two different sets of streaks.

904
00:49:25,529 --> 00:49:28,498
[Booker] Yeah, I'm looking
at the growth of Nima and Price,

905
00:49:28,565 --> 00:49:31,435
but also you got to look
at Stacks and D'Angelo.

906
00:49:31,501 --> 00:49:33,570
Both of these teams
are looking for greatness,

907
00:49:33,637 --> 00:49:35,339
but I tell you, Nima and Price,

908
00:49:35,405 --> 00:49:41,411
what Stacks and D'Angelo have,
that's tag team gold, Vic.

909
00:49:41,478 --> 00:49:45,482
[Vic] And Stacks able
to navigate his way free,

910
00:49:45,549 --> 00:49:48,452
because that would have been disastrous
for the tag team champions.

911
00:49:48,518 --> 00:49:50,988
This is Stacks' moment. Stacks so close.

912
00:49:51,054 --> 00:49:53,790
[Booker] We're talking
about those moments, Vic.

913
00:49:53,857 --> 00:49:55,692
Be there in a second thing he'd be gone.

914
00:49:55,759 --> 00:49:58,962
[Vic] He got there. And in comes the boss.

915
00:49:59,029 --> 00:50:01,164
And the boss has heard
from the challengers.

916
00:50:01,231 --> 00:50:03,734
He said they are coming for what's left.

917
00:50:03,800 --> 00:50:06,236
Not tonight, says Tony D.

918
00:50:06,970 --> 00:50:10,807
[Booker] Beautiful. The belly suplex
just right there on Nima

919
00:50:10,874 --> 00:50:12,109
Absolutely Price.

920
00:50:12,175 --> 00:50:14,378
[Vic] Picking up some speed.
Nima's gonna get a little bit too.

921
00:50:14,444 --> 00:50:16,546
Goes up, goes over.
Look at the athleticism.

922
00:50:16,613 --> 00:50:21,385
And going to the body.
Big gut punches. From the top.

923
00:50:21,451 --> 00:50:24,755
[Booker] That's just pure power
right there by The Don, Vic.

924
00:50:24,821 --> 00:50:27,357
-[Vic] Following it up with a spinebuster.
-Oh, beautify.

925
00:50:27,424 --> 00:50:29,059
-Beautify.
-[Vic] He's fired up.

926
00:50:29,126 --> 00:50:32,996
Into the cover to retain. And a near-fall.

927
00:50:33,063 --> 00:50:35,966
Family was a half second away.

928
00:50:36,033 --> 00:50:38,502
And when we talk about the power of OTM,

929
00:50:38,568 --> 00:50:41,738
Tony D'Angelo just showed us
we can't talk about power

930
00:50:41,805 --> 00:50:43,273
if we're not talking about the boss.

931
00:50:43,340 --> 00:50:46,276
[Booker] The Don came up on the street
the hard way, Vic.

932
00:50:46,343 --> 00:50:50,213
He's got it done. He just did,
you know, fined his way to this position.

933
00:50:50,280 --> 00:50:52,215
He earned this position, Vic.

934
00:50:52,282 --> 00:50:55,185
[Vic] And The Don trying
to get back into it. Nice counter.

935
00:50:55,252 --> 00:50:59,523
And making a tag is the underboss.
These two work so well as a team.

936
00:50:59,589 --> 00:51:01,858
We've seen both superstars…

937
00:51:03,493 --> 00:51:05,462
able to have this uncanny ability

938
00:51:05,529 --> 00:51:07,831
to be in the right spot at the right time.

939
00:51:07,898 --> 00:51:09,866
Will it happen again here tonight?

940
00:51:09,933 --> 00:51:12,436
-[Booker] Oh, beautiful.
-[Vic] Oh, no.

941
00:51:12,502 --> 00:51:17,541
Whoa. Great tag team action
by the young bloods.

942
00:51:17,607 --> 00:51:20,243
OTM is taking control of this matchup.

943
00:51:20,310 --> 00:51:22,512
[inaudible]

944
00:51:22,579 --> 00:51:24,815
[Vic] When we talk about Stacks,

945
00:51:24,881 --> 00:51:27,484
always able to get just in the right spot
at the right time.

946
00:51:27,551 --> 00:51:30,053
The same can be said for OTM

947
00:51:30,120 --> 00:51:35,325
who could be in the right spot here
tonight to put gold around their waist.

948
00:51:35,392 --> 00:51:38,195
-[Booker] Wow. Wow.
-[Vic] And a near-fall.

949
00:51:39,830 --> 00:51:42,466
[Booker] All instinct
right there on that kick out, Vic.

950
00:51:42,532 --> 00:51:44,267
-[Vic] Barely was…
-[Booker] That was it. That was it.

951
00:51:44,334 --> 00:51:48,071
[Vic] The Don just able to get up,
the underboss toss to the outside.

952
00:51:50,440 --> 00:51:53,443
And you got a feel here for The Don.

953
00:51:53,510 --> 00:51:58,348
Oh, and you really got a feel for him now.
Another power. Will it be enough?

954
00:51:58,415 --> 00:52:00,283
-And Stacks again.
-[Booker] Wow.

955
00:52:00,884 --> 00:52:02,652
The Don able to kick out.

956
00:52:03,353 --> 00:52:05,822
[Booker] Nima and Price
did everything right right there.

957
00:52:05,889 --> 00:52:10,560
Still didn't get the one, two, three,
on Tony D, man.

958
00:52:10,627 --> 00:52:15,031
[Vic] And, you know, we've seen Stack
sacrifice himself time and time again.

959
00:52:15,098 --> 00:52:18,602
He's struggling. He's trying to get
in there for Tony D'Angelo.

960
00:52:18,668 --> 00:52:22,172
D'Angelo's been doing it by himself.
And in this moment, finally.

961
00:52:22,239 --> 00:52:25,675
-[Booker] Wow. Big shot there, big shot.
-[Vic] Stacks back in.

962
00:52:25,742 --> 00:52:28,778
D'Angelo goes around.
Shoulders down near-fall.

963
00:52:28,845 --> 00:52:32,582
[Booker] You can't hold the big guy,
Lucien Price down like that, man.

964
00:52:32,649 --> 00:52:34,084
[Vic] Stronger than most,
but look at The Don.

965
00:52:34,151 --> 00:52:36,319
-Stacks, let's go. Let's go, baby.
-[Vic] Able to sidestep.

966
00:52:36,386 --> 00:52:38,388
-Barking at Stacks.
-Get back!

967
00:52:38,955 --> 00:52:41,057
[Vic] And we've seen this in the past.

968
00:52:41,124 --> 00:52:44,194
-Family…
-[Booker] Wow. Wow.

969
00:52:44,261 --> 00:52:49,466
[Vic] …fighting for one another here
tonight to retain the titles.

970
00:52:52,435 --> 00:52:54,738
Is this gonna be enough in the moment?

971
00:52:55,906 --> 00:52:58,742
Looking for that bada-boom, bada-bing.

972
00:52:59,776 --> 00:53:03,180
Don into the cover.
Hook of the leg, and, no.

973
00:53:03,246 --> 00:53:04,948
[Booker] Wow.

974
00:53:05,015 --> 00:53:09,586
Nima just able to get back to his feet,
but SCRYPTS just ran in front of us.

975
00:53:09,653 --> 00:53:12,722
I didn't see it,
but I think SCRYPTS went over there,

976
00:53:12,789 --> 00:53:14,191
and helped Nima get back to his feet.

977
00:53:14,257 --> 00:53:18,628
[Booker] What was he supposed to do?
He's there for a reason, Vic.

978

[Vic] Fair point, Book, actually.

And right now, you hear the NXT universe
for both these teams,

981
00:53:26,303 --> 00:53:29,306
and this is starting to break down.
This is turning into a slugfest.

Now, I know that it's only been a week,
but do you know when you wanna use

1013
00:55:20,784 --> 00:55:22,852
this contract for a title match?

1014
00:55:24,587 --> 00:55:29,993
This contract means that I could become
an NXT champion whenever I want.

1015
00:55:30,060 --> 00:55:31,928
And just like
the Men's Breakout Tournament,

1016
00:55:31,995 --> 00:55:35,365
every superstar
will crumble under my feet.

1017
00:55:35,432 --> 00:55:39,469
And because I'm backed by destiny,
I could cash in at Stand & Deliver.

-Well, well, well.

I'm proud of you. I really am.

if it wasn't for Trey Bearhill,

it would have been you and me

And, well, who knows, right?

In fact, you should be afraid
of what I'm capable of doing to you, son.

for several weeks

-[Booker] Oh, Jade, buckle up.

-[Vic] Jade's rude.
-[Booker] Yes!

-including everyone in the locker room.
-[Booker] And you know why, Vic?

1073
00:59:21,991 --> 00:59:27,297
[Booker] Because Cora Jade feel like
she had a big, big part in building NXT.

to the brick to just about everything,

Dolin an accomplished superstar
here in NXT as well,

1077

pushed around by anyone,

-[Booker] No, no.

Gigi Dolin,
she's not gonna be pushed around.

in her first round of defences.

-Fight, throw hands. I like it, man.
-[Vic] That's very true.

Maybe looking for that jaded DDT
that was countered though, by Dolin.

1083
00:59:54,791 --> 00:59:57,126
And we have seen Dolin
deal with her issues

00:59:57,193 --> 01:00:01,731
this way in the past into a quick cover
and a quick kickout.

1085
01:00:01,798 --> 01:00:05,234
Dolin went on to say that
this is not the same Cora Jade

1086
01:00:05,301 --> 01:00:09,038
that she once knew when they both arrived
to the Performance Center.

[Booker] It's not the same Cora Jade.

1088
01:00:10,607 --> 01:00:14,177
Cora Jade wants to ascend
to that number one spot,

-[Vic] Jade able to turn things around.

1091

There's no denying Cora Jade's
current momentum since her return.

1092
01:00:25,288 --> 01:00:27,857
You can even look at it,
and she actually pinned

1093
01:00:27,924 --> 01:00:31,160
the NXT Women's Champion
in a tag team match several weeks ago.

1094
01:00:31,227 --> 01:00:35,398
[Booker] She's definitely come back,
and she's on that fast track to the top.

1095
01:00:35,465 --> 01:00:37,934
You know, to the… What do you call it?
The tippy top.

1096

But she's definitely
on that fast track, Vic.

1097

loves to steal the spotlight from anyone.

to the last premium live event.

from Lyra Valkyria?

1104
01:00:56,085 --> 01:00:57,887
[Booker] What are you supposed to do, Vic?

1105
01:00:57,954 --> 01:01:00,490
You're supposed to steal the spotlight.

1106
01:01:00,556 --> 01:01:03,626
You're supposed to think about me, me, me.

1107
01:01:03,693 --> 01:01:07,397
This is not soccer. This is not football.
This is not basketball.

1108
01:01:07,463 --> 01:01:10,533
This is a me-type sport.

1109
01:01:10,600 --> 01:01:12,301
[Vic] Big takedown by Jade.
Well, I'll bring it to you.

1110
01:01:12,368 --> 01:01:13,936
You're talking about the me.

1111
01:01:14,003 --> 01:01:17,507
Then what gives Jade the right as there
isn't a championship around her waist

1112
01:01:17,573 --> 01:01:20,710
to believe that she runs
the NXT women's locker room.

1113
01:01:20,777 --> 01:01:22,445
[Booker] But think about it.
Cora Jade left for a minute.

1114
01:01:22,512 --> 01:01:24,280
She comes back,
somebody has taken her locker room.

1115
01:01:24,347 --> 01:01:25,448
[Vic] A minute? Months!

1116
01:01:25,515 --> 01:01:27,550
[Booker] Somebody has taken
her locker room.

1117
01:01:27,617 --> 01:01:31,788
How disrespectful is that, Vic?
These young kids needs to know.

1118
01:01:31,854 --> 01:01:34,157
[Vic] Jade turning things
around again in this matchup,

1119
01:01:34,223 --> 01:01:38,394
continuing to apply the offensive pressure
right to Gigi Dolin.

1120
01:01:38,461 --> 01:01:42,131
And the goal for Dolin tonight
was to beat respect into Jade

1121
01:01:42,198 --> 01:01:45,301
for what you talked about,
coming back into the locker

1122
01:01:45,368 --> 01:01:48,738
after several months
and kicking Petrovic out of her locker.

1123
01:01:48,805 --> 01:01:51,107
Into the cover, inside leg hook,
and a kickout by Dolin.

1124
01:01:51,174 --> 01:01:54,410
[Booker] It's not gonna be easy, Vic.
I mean, look at Cora Jade.

1125
01:01:54,477 --> 01:01:56,179
Don't look like she's missing step.
Look at this one.

1126
01:01:56,245 --> 01:01:59,148
-[Vic] Bam.
-[Booker] Back, [inaudible].

1127
01:01:59,215 --> 01:02:02,185
[Booker] Was it to the snout
or was it to the jaw? [inaudible].

1128
01:02:02,251 --> 01:02:03,119
[Vic] Looked like to the jaw to me.

1129
01:02:03,186 --> 01:02:04,854
-What did you see?
-[Booker] I thought it was the snout.

1130
01:02:04,921 --> 01:02:09,559
[Vic] Gigi Dolin believes that Cora Jade
lacks an authenticity about her.

1131
01:02:09,625 --> 01:02:13,162
I think she is the resident mean girl
of NXT.

1132
01:02:13,229 --> 01:02:16,132
There's nothing that Cora Jade…
She says what she means.

1133
01:02:16,199 --> 01:02:18,267
That's one thing
I will agree with you on, Booker,

1134
01:02:18,334 --> 01:02:20,236
is she came back with a purpose.

1135
01:02:20,303 --> 01:02:23,940
[Booker] Yeah, you believe a snake
when he says he's gonna bite you, Vic.

1136
01:02:24,006 --> 01:02:26,676
That's Cora Jade.
She's not playing any game.

1137
01:02:26,743 --> 01:02:30,580
She's not trying to hide her real feelings
or anything about people.

1138
01:02:30,646 --> 01:02:32,115
Tells you like it is, man.

1139
01:02:32,181 --> 01:02:35,718
[Vic] Both these superstars hoping
to be part of the battle royal next week

1140
01:02:35,785 --> 01:02:39,589
to challenge Lyra Valkyria down the line
for the NXT Women's Championship.

1141
01:02:39,655 --> 01:02:42,358
But Gigi Dolin,
what she's not worried about next week,

1142
01:02:42,425 --> 01:02:43,993
not worried about a championship.

1143
01:02:44,060 --> 01:02:46,462
She's worried about the here.
She's worried about the now.

1144
01:02:46,529 --> 01:02:49,732
And she's trying
to just chop down Cora Jade.

1145
01:02:49,799 --> 01:02:52,034
Big clothesline by Dolin.

1146
01:02:52,101 --> 01:02:54,604
[Booker] I talk about that time off
being the worst ending, Vic,

1147
01:02:54,670 --> 01:02:58,541
especially in those late rounds,
especially in those deep waters.

1148
01:02:58,608 --> 01:03:02,445
Oh, right now,
Gigi Dolin is looking great, man.

1149
01:03:02,512 --> 01:03:06,048
[Vic] Nasty dropkick by Dolin,
who is fired up. She's motivated.

1150
01:03:06,115 --> 01:03:07,316
And, Booker, what's wrong with Dolin

1151
01:03:07,383 --> 01:03:09,085
wanting to stick up
for the women's locker room?

1152
01:03:09,152 --> 01:03:11,954
-Looking for that crucifix bomb. And…
-[Booker] She doesn't get it.

1153
01:03:12,021 --> 01:03:14,857
-[Vic] Holding out the official was Jade.
-[Booker] There you go again.

1154
01:03:14,924 --> 01:03:17,794
You ain't got time to be thinking
about the women's locker room.

1155
01:03:17,860 --> 01:03:21,898
You got to be thinking about…
Oh, no. Oh, no.

1156
01:03:21,964 --> 01:03:25,034
[Vic] Still got time to be thinking
about much with Cora Jade

1157
01:03:25,101 --> 01:03:29,138
continuing her jaded ways here in NXT.

1158
01:03:31,440 --> 01:03:35,144
[Alicia] Here is your winner, Cora Jade.

1159
01:03:35,211 --> 01:03:37,113
[Vic] You were getting lost in a thought.

1160
01:03:37,180 --> 01:03:41,083
Cora Jade came right in
and, bam, dropped Gigi Dolin…

1161
01:03:41,150 --> 01:03:42,485
-[Booker] You gonna think I'll [inaudible]
-[Vic] for a big momentum win.

1162
01:03:42,552 --> 01:03:45,454
[Booker] That thought
was always looking at her.

1163
01:03:45,521 --> 01:03:47,823
[Vic] When we talk about stars,
you see one on your screen

1164
01:03:47,890 --> 01:03:50,960
for the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic
coming up in moments.

1165
01:03:51,027 --> 01:03:54,630
It's the second opening round
matchup of the night.

1166
01:03:54,697 --> 01:03:58,835
Which of these two teams will advance?
We find out next.

1167
01:04:02,638 --> 01:04:04,841
We just got played back there, bro.

1168
01:04:04,907 --> 01:04:06,909
We shouldn't even be leaving
without them titles.

1169
01:04:06,976 --> 01:04:08,711
Hey, Big Dog, bro,
you got to do something, bro.

1170
01:04:08,778 --> 01:04:11,047
-[inaudible].
-Nah, for real, my boy, for real.

1171
01:04:11,113 --> 01:04:14,250
Oh, Miss Parker, Miss Parker.

1172
01:04:14,317 --> 01:04:15,184
[audience cheering]

1173
01:04:15,251 --> 01:04:18,287
-There ain't [inaudible]
-We ain't trying to hear that.

1174
01:04:18,354 --> 01:04:22,158
Man, look, this is their environment.

1175
01:04:22,225 --> 01:04:24,927
-Y'all need to open your minds up.
-That's what you said.

1176
01:04:24,994 --> 01:04:27,096
Where I come from,
we see that coming from a mile away.

1177
01:04:27,163 --> 01:04:30,866
And y'all really fell for that?
Y'all are better than that.

1178
01:04:30,933 --> 01:04:32,168
[inaudible]

1179
01:04:32,235 --> 01:04:35,571
I know I'm right.
So first things first, who's got Riz?

1180
01:04:36,706 --> 01:04:38,574
-[inaudible]
-That's what I thought.

1181
01:04:38,641 --> 01:04:40,943
Y'all need pressure
where you can't apply it.

1182
01:04:41,010 --> 01:04:43,846
And I'm saying,
Jaida Parker's your missing piece.

1183
01:04:43,913 --> 01:04:45,448
So what's up?

1184
01:04:45,514 --> 01:04:48,751
-What's up, dude?
-I don't know what up.

1185
01:04:48,818 --> 01:04:50,319
-Let's talk business.
-Perfect.

1186
01:04:51,120 --> 01:04:52,355
-You like them?
-I like them.

1187
01:04:52,421 --> 01:04:53,823
[Booker] [laughs] I like that.

1188
01:04:53,890 --> 01:04:58,394
New diamond,
we gotta add to the forces, Jaida Parker.

1189
01:04:58,461 --> 01:05:00,096
[Vic] Oh, my God, man.

1190
01:05:00,162 --> 01:05:01,230
[bell ringing]

1191
01:05:01,297 --> 01:05:04,000
[Alicia] The following contest
is a first round match

1192
01:05:04,066 --> 01:05:07,637
in the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic.

1193
01:05:07,703 --> 01:05:13,442
Introducing first the team
of Hank Walker and Tank Ledger.

1194
01:05:13,509 --> 01:05:18,581
[Vic] It's the second opening round
matchup of the night for the Dusty Cup.

1195
01:05:18,648 --> 01:05:22,118
Who will advance? Who's eliminated?

1196
01:05:22,184 --> 01:05:24,420
♪ Never so done ♪

1197
01:05:24,487 --> 01:05:27,490
[upbeat music playing]

1198
01:05:29,625 --> 01:05:32,628
[audience cheering]

1199
01:05:40,703 --> 01:05:47,143
[Alicia] And the opponents, the team
of Nathan Frazer, and Axiom.

1200
01:05:48,110 --> 01:05:50,980
[Vic] Talk about Baron Corbin,
Bron Breakker advancing earlier.

1201
01:05:51,047 --> 01:05:54,016
This isn't double elimination.
This is one-and-done.

1202
01:05:54,083 --> 01:05:56,919
This is speed versus power here.

1203
01:05:58,721 --> 01:06:00,957
-What are you laughing at?
-[Booker] Wait a minute.

1204
01:06:01,023 --> 01:06:05,561
Are those cutoffs? Hank and Tank got on.

1205
01:06:06,429 --> 01:06:08,431
Are those cutoffs?

1206
01:06:08,497 --> 01:06:11,233
-[Vic] Yeah, what do they look like, Book?
-[Booker] What the hell?

1207
01:06:11,300 --> 01:06:13,436
[Vic] It's not the first time
they've worn these, Book.

1208
01:06:13,502 --> 01:06:14,370
Now you're just catching on?

1209
01:06:14,437 --> 01:06:16,138
[Booker]
This is a professional match here.

1210
01:06:16,205 --> 01:06:19,208
These guys look like bums.
I mean, come on, Vic.

1211
01:06:19,275 --> 01:06:23,045
[Vic] Well, I wonder if any of these
two teams were watching earlier tonight

1212
01:06:23,112 --> 01:06:26,782
in that first matchup of the evening
when it came to the Dusty Cup,

1213
01:06:26,849 --> 01:06:30,319
because right now you're taking a look
at two teams with a lot to prove.

1214
01:06:30,386 --> 01:06:32,755
All four of these superstars
wanting to make their mark.

1215
01:06:32,822 --> 01:06:33,689
And there's the power game.

1216
01:06:33,756 --> 01:06:37,593
Right off the rip
in favor of Hank and Tank.

1217
01:06:37,660 --> 01:06:38,928
[Booker] I wanna like Hank and Tank.

1218
01:06:38,995 --> 01:06:41,230
I really do.
I really wanna like these guys.

1219
01:06:41,297 --> 01:06:43,899
These guys that brought perhaps
the greatest team in this tournament,

1220
01:06:43,966 --> 01:06:45,835
but they couldn't catch
like me in the bottom.

1221
01:06:45,901 --> 01:06:48,971
They couldn't get that wave
and catapult up to that position.

1222
01:06:49,038 --> 01:06:52,608
I would love to see that, but just trying
to get your wardrobe like that.

1223
01:06:52,675 --> 01:06:54,276
[Vic] Nice dropkick there by Axiom.

1224
01:06:54,343 --> 01:06:57,446
I don't know, he didn't pick up
such a wardrobe release, all of a sudden.

1225
01:06:57,513 --> 01:06:59,215
And now Nathan Frazier
tagging into the matchup.

1226
01:06:59,281 --> 01:07:01,717
Look, all four of these superstars,
we talked to them earlier today.

1227
01:07:01,784 --> 01:07:05,154
Talked about Dusty Rhodes' pictures
all around the Performance Center.

1228
01:07:05,221 --> 01:07:07,790
You know, Dusty Rhodes'
fingerprints all over NXT.

1229
01:07:07,857 --> 01:07:11,494
What would it mean for you
to be competing in this sort of match,

1230
01:07:11,560 --> 01:07:14,697
this sort of tournament,
this Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic?

1231
01:07:14,764 --> 01:07:16,332
[Booker] I can only imagine
a young Harlem Heat

1232
01:07:16,399 --> 01:07:18,000
being in a tournament like this.

1233
01:07:18,067 --> 01:07:19,702
Not just being in a tournament like this,

1234
01:07:19,769 --> 01:07:22,938
but winning a historical
tournament like this.

1235
01:07:23,005 --> 01:07:28,077
In the memory of Dusty Rhodes,
it'd be a highlight reel for the crew.

1236
01:07:28,144 --> 01:07:29,445
Trust me on that.

1237
01:07:29,512 --> 01:07:32,748
[Vic] Pass is a pass for both these teams
because both of these superstars

1238
01:07:32,815 --> 01:07:35,551
have fought their partners,
and it doesn't necessarily know

1239
01:07:35,618 --> 01:07:37,486
if that strategy
has worked out for everyone.

1240
01:07:37,553 --> 01:07:38,854
What's worked out for these two teams,

1241
01:07:38,921 --> 01:07:41,557
shooting a half into the cover
and a kick out.

1242
01:07:41,624 --> 01:07:45,127
Both these teams know each other so well
as far as being teams.

1243
01:07:45,194 --> 01:07:47,396
We talked about that unique pairing
earlier tonight

1244
01:07:47,463 --> 01:07:48,864
with Bron Breakker and Baron Corbin.

1245
01:07:48,931 --> 01:07:51,200
We're not gonna have that so much
in this match

1246
01:07:51,267 --> 01:07:53,836
because Axiom and Frazier
bonded over comics.

1247
01:07:53,903 --> 01:07:56,005
You talk to Hank and Tank,
they bonded over food.

1248
01:07:56,071 --> 01:07:59,208
[Booker] You know, styles make fights big,
and I look at Axiom and Frazier.

1249
01:07:59,275 --> 01:08:02,711
These two guys, they definitely have
somewhat similar same styles,

1250
01:08:02,778 --> 01:08:06,882
definitely on the same page
as well as they're good friends.

1251
01:08:06,949 --> 01:08:10,219
[Vic] Axiom got caught, and then
gets dropped over the top turnbuckle,

1252
01:08:10,286 --> 01:08:11,921
turns right back around.

1253
01:08:11,987 --> 01:08:16,692
[Booker] Hank Walker looking real,
real rowdy right now, man.

1254
01:08:16,759 --> 01:08:19,962
[Vic] And Hank and Tank, man,
they are still an unknown team.

1255
01:08:20,029 --> 01:08:22,932
This could be their breakout moment
this tournament.

1256
01:08:22,998 --> 01:08:25,067
[Booker] These guys are green
as goose poop,

1257
01:08:25,134 --> 01:08:26,569
but I'm gonna tell you right now, Vic,

1258
01:08:26,635 --> 01:08:30,005
like I say, they could catch them green
and catapult them

1259
01:08:30,072 --> 01:08:32,975
to the [inaudible] Cup in a heartbeat.
Check it out.

1260
01:08:33,042 --> 01:08:35,711
-Check it out.
-[Vic] Hank's splash into the cover.

1261
01:08:35,778 --> 01:08:38,514
Wise hooks both legs,
and Axiom able to pick up.

1262
01:08:38,581 --> 01:08:40,816
[Booker] They're my tank legend,
both legs.

1263
01:08:40,883 --> 01:08:42,985
[Vic] All these teams know
what it would mean

1264
01:08:43,052 --> 01:08:45,287
to etch their name
on the prestigious Dusty Cup,

1265
01:08:45,354 --> 01:08:49,091
to get an opportunity down the line
at the NXT Tag Team titles.

1266
01:08:49,158 --> 01:08:52,728
Past winners of the cup include
the recently returning Authors of Pain…

1267
01:08:52,795 --> 01:08:54,663
-[Booker] Whoa.
-…who we saw back at action on SmackDown--

1268
01:08:54,730 --> 01:08:56,565
[Booker]
Those guys haven't missed any meals.

1269
01:08:56,632 --> 01:09:00,035
They look like two monsters
making their return.

1270
01:09:00,102 --> 01:09:01,170
[Vic] Here comes Frazier coming in.

1271
01:09:01,237 --> 01:09:04,206
A lot on the line, Booker,
for both these teams.

1272
01:09:05,007 --> 01:09:06,008
Swing it away.

1273
01:09:06,075 --> 01:09:06,909
Boom!

1274
01:09:06,976 --> 01:09:09,512
[Booker] Man, Ledger was setting up
for a big form, got caught, though.

1275
01:09:09,578 --> 01:09:11,313
[Vic] Can't hit what you can't catch.

1276
01:09:11,380 --> 01:09:14,116
And look at Frazier,
who says he'll never slow down.

1277
01:09:14,950 --> 01:09:16,886
Right back to the head.

1278
01:09:16,952 --> 01:09:20,623
Frazier quick to the top.
Bam, missile dropkick.

1279
01:09:20,689 --> 01:09:23,025
-[Booker] Right on the money.
-[Vic] Into the cover.

1280
01:09:23,092 --> 01:09:26,295
And Hank in the right spot
at the right time again.

1281
01:09:26,362 --> 01:09:29,965
[Booker] These guys after going out there
and fighting each other,

1282
01:09:30,032 --> 01:09:32,067
it seemed like that did
a little bit of something.

1283
01:09:32,134 --> 01:09:34,670
I'm talking about Hank and Tank. Oh, wow!

1284
01:09:34,737 --> 01:09:37,640
[Vic] That's what I'm saying. The strategy
doesn't necessarily work out for everyone,

1285
01:09:37,706 --> 01:09:39,408
but it's worked out for these two teams,

1286
01:09:39,475 --> 01:09:43,112
who are fighting in this opening round
matchup of the Dusty Cup

1287
01:09:43,179 --> 01:09:45,748
to possibly punch their ticket
to the finals

1288
01:09:45,814 --> 01:09:47,383
down the line at Vengeance Day,

1289
01:09:47,449 --> 01:09:51,820
but you gotta get through the first round,
and Frazier just got that shoulder up.

1290
01:09:51,887 --> 01:09:54,490
Of course,Vengeance Day,
our next premium live event Sunday,

1291
01:09:54,557 --> 01:09:57,760
February the 4th.

01:09:57,826 --> 01:10:02,298
[Vic] I'm looking at what they call
the kinetic energy between Hank and Tank.

1293
01:10:02,364 --> 01:10:06,302
These guys got something, Vic.
They just need to hold it, man.

1294
01:10:06,368 --> 01:10:08,871
They just need to hold it
just a little bit. Wow.

1295
01:10:08,938 --> 01:10:12,374
[Vic] Oh, Axiom just wiped out Tank.
Now he's looking to wipe out Hank.

1296
01:10:12,441 --> 01:10:15,244
Didn't take the big fill off his feet.
Whoa.

1297
01:10:15,311 --> 01:10:18,180
[audience cheering]

1298
01:10:18,247 --> 01:10:21,183
-[Vic] Speed flying all around us, Booker.
-[Booker] Yeah, right there to speed--

1299
01:10:21,250 --> 01:10:23,686
-[Vic] They're not stopping.
-[Booker] Frazier.

1300
01:10:23,752 --> 01:10:25,654
-[Vic] They're not slowing down.
-[Booker] Oh, God, man.

1301
01:10:25,721 --> 01:10:28,190
[Vic] Axiom and Frazier,
they're in the driver's seat.

1302
01:10:28,257 --> 01:10:31,961
Axiom climbing to the top. Looking to fly.

1303
01:10:32,027 --> 01:10:33,963
Able to get up and over.
Hank saw it coming.

1304
01:10:34,029 --> 01:10:35,564
Hank right back in

1305
01:10:35,631 --> 01:10:39,335
-and just depleted Axiom.
-[Booker] Great inside by Walker.

1306
01:10:39,401 --> 01:10:41,604
[Vic] It's a cradle. It's a cradle.
Shoulders down.

1307
01:10:41,670 --> 01:10:43,405
Not able to advance. He's able to get up.

1308
01:10:43,472 --> 01:10:45,941
Oh, Hank,
he just got caught with that knee.

1309
01:10:46,008 --> 01:10:49,211
[Booker] Man, Axiom is quick as a cat
right there.

1310
01:10:49,278 --> 01:10:52,181
Frazier's going up to the top.
He's gonna try to finish it.

1311
01:10:52,248 --> 01:10:54,250
[Vic] Axiom just wiped out Tank.

1312
01:10:54,883 --> 01:10:56,852
-Up to the top.
-[Booker] Wow!

1313
01:10:56,919 --> 01:10:59,555
Connects. Cover. Count.

1314
01:10:59,622 --> 01:11:02,358
And our second team has advanced.

1315
01:11:03,559 --> 01:11:09,932
[Alicia] Here are your winners,
the team of Nathan Frazier and Axiom.

1316
01:11:10,799 --> 01:11:13,135
[Vic] Nathan Frazier said
he finally learned his lesson.

1317
01:11:13,202 --> 01:11:15,638
He tried to keep his thoughts to himself.

1318
01:11:15,704 --> 01:11:20,042
And here tonight, he came in
with a game plan with Axiom. Bam!

1319
01:11:21,944 --> 01:11:28,017
And the high flying pays off for Axiom
and Frazier here tonight.

1320
01:11:28,083 --> 01:11:34,023
Two first round matches. Two winners.
There's who's advanced to the next round.

1321
01:11:34,089 --> 01:11:36,058
And you take a look
at the other side of the bracket.

1322
01:11:36,125 --> 01:11:39,361
The four other teams
who are still in this tournament

1323
01:11:39,428 --> 01:11:43,299
to etch their name
on the prestigious Dusty Cup.

1324
01:11:43,365 --> 01:11:45,934
Congratulations, Axiom and Frazier.

1325
01:11:46,001 --> 01:11:49,004
Vamos, boy. Vamos.

1326
01:11:49,505 --> 01:11:51,473
You got this, Tiffany. [laughs]

1327
01:11:52,141 --> 01:11:56,211
You got this, Tiffany. Come on.
I will never talk about this ever again.

1328
01:11:56,278 --> 01:11:58,981
I'm gonna erase
every smell from this day.

1329
01:12:00,349 --> 01:12:01,350
Every memory.

1330
01:12:02,584 --> 01:12:05,888
Every disgusting moment.
I'm gonna erase it from my memory.

1331
01:12:07,523 --> 01:12:08,624
[exhales]

1332
01:12:08,691 --> 01:12:10,526
-Yikes.
-Yeah.

1333
01:12:10,592 --> 01:12:13,362
I don't know if she realizes
she's gonna have to move that.

1334
01:12:13,429 --> 01:12:15,464
I know, but that's what she gets
for stepping to you.

1335
01:12:15,531 --> 01:12:18,367
-Yes, it is.
-Look how dirty she is.

1336
01:12:18,434 --> 01:12:21,236
-I know. There's a lot in there, too.
-I know.

1337
01:12:21,303 --> 01:12:23,005
She ain't doing too bad.

1338
01:12:23,072 --> 01:12:25,441
I mean, she did last longer than I thought
she was going to.

1339
01:12:25,507 --> 01:12:26,742
It's true.

1340
01:12:27,543 --> 01:12:30,946
-Yeah, it wouldn't be a bad addition.
-I can add her on.

1341
01:12:31,013 --> 01:12:32,648
[all laugh]

1342
01:12:34,116 --> 01:12:37,553
You are Tiffany Stratton. You can do this.

1343
01:12:38,153 --> 01:12:40,522
I'm gonna erase this day from my memory.

1344
01:12:40,589 --> 01:12:42,224
I am Tiffany Stratton.

1345
01:12:42,291 --> 01:12:44,326
[retches]

1346
01:12:49,431 --> 01:12:53,435
-[sobs]
-[all laugh]

1347
01:12:56,572 --> 01:12:59,241
Well, Tiffany,
it looks like you're all done.

1348
01:12:59,308 --> 01:13:03,479
How did it feel to eat your words
and actually do some real work for once?

1349
01:13:03,545 --> 01:13:06,648
This was not real work, Fallon.
This was hell.

1350
01:13:06,715 --> 01:13:09,618
It was the worst day of my life.

1351
01:13:10,252 --> 01:13:15,023
Because for one day,
I got to feel what it was like to be you.

1352
01:13:15,090 --> 01:13:19,695
Smell like your disgusting horses
and live your repulsive life?

1353
01:13:19,762 --> 01:13:23,432
I actually pity you
because you actually enjoy this crap.

1354
01:13:23,499 --> 01:13:24,800
Literally.

1355
01:13:24,867 --> 01:13:28,570
Something is seriously wrong with you
if you think this is any way to live.

1356
01:13:28,637 --> 01:13:31,140
[inhales & exhales]

1357
01:13:31,206 --> 01:13:32,474
But I am finished.

1358
01:13:32,541 --> 01:13:35,944
And I did everything you asked of me
against every fiber of my body.

1359
01:13:36,011 --> 01:13:37,913
-But, Tiffany…
-But nothing, Fallon.

1360
01:13:37,980 --> 01:13:39,681
I'm leaving. Toodle.

1361
01:13:41,049 --> 01:13:44,753
-[screams]
-[water splashes]

1362
01:13:45,587 --> 01:13:47,990
No! No!

1363
01:13:48,056 --> 01:13:51,460
I was gonna say you missed a spot,
but you're free to go.

1364
01:13:51,527 --> 01:13:52,828
Help me!

1365
01:13:52,895 --> 01:13:55,063
Fallon, help me!

1366
01:13:55,130 --> 01:14:00,769
No! No! No!

1367
01:14:01,470 --> 01:14:05,774
[Vic] You feel bad for her, don't you?
She got what she deserved.

1368
01:14:07,776 --> 01:14:10,946
["Control The Empire" song playing]

1369
01:14:13,816 --> 01:14:17,653
[Vic] Well, it is main event time
as we try to move on

1370
01:14:17,719 --> 01:14:20,289
from what we witnessed
all night for Tiffany Stratton.

1371
01:14:20,355 --> 01:14:22,925
Dragon Lee is here.

1372
01:14:22,991 --> 01:14:27,062
Dragon Lee is set to defend
the North American Championship.

1373
01:14:28,363 --> 01:14:30,432
He's always ready for a challenge.

1374
01:14:31,300 --> 01:14:33,802
And any challenger that may step up.

1375
01:14:34,369 --> 01:14:39,808
The future of Lucha Libre is here
to continue to prove this path

1376
01:14:39,875 --> 01:14:43,879
to becoming possibly one of the greatest
North American champions ever.

1377
01:14:43,946 --> 01:14:49,985
Lee-King for the North American title.
It's live. It's next on NXT.

1378
01:14:54,256 --> 01:14:56,091
Are you ready for this, man?
It's like Christmas for us.

1379
01:14:56,158 --> 01:14:59,461
-I was telling you.
-Man, next week can't come fast enough.

1380
01:14:59,528 --> 01:15:01,964
Our role on this Dusty Classic
is just getting started.

1381
01:15:02,030 --> 01:15:05,234
We gonna get our names on that cup.

1382
01:15:05,300 --> 01:15:07,436
And, you know, last year
we had a lotta starts and stops.

1383
01:15:07,503 --> 01:15:10,639
But this year, we're starting,
and I know we ain't stopping.

1384
01:15:10,706 --> 01:15:12,140
But you know what's crazy?

1385
01:15:12,207 --> 01:15:16,011
Everybody seems to just keep on talking
about our opponents, Trick and Melo.

1386
01:15:16,078 --> 01:15:18,046
And that's cool. That's real cool.

1387
01:15:18,113 --> 01:15:20,782
They've been the talk
of NXT this past year.

1388
01:15:20,849 --> 01:15:23,785
But next week, you and I,
we put an end to that.

1389
01:15:23,852 --> 01:15:25,254
Come on, man. Give me some.

1390
01:15:25,320 --> 01:15:28,290
Everybody already knows
that they're not even on the same page.

1391
01:15:28,357 --> 01:15:31,593
-But you and me, we're in the same book.
-Same book.

1392
01:15:31,660 --> 01:15:34,029
Yeah, we've been friends
just as long as Trick and Melo.

1393
01:15:34,096 --> 01:15:35,731
But get this. Check this out.

1394
01:15:35,797 --> 01:15:38,800
I know exactly what we need
to turn our careers around.

1395
01:15:38,867 --> 01:15:41,336
And this, this is it.

1396
01:15:41,403 --> 01:15:44,573
Guys, guys, guys, guys.
Who's ready to change their lives?

1397
01:15:44,640 --> 01:15:46,842
-Okay, Brinley Reece, but not, though.
-Oh, yeah.

1398
01:15:46,909 --> 01:15:49,478
You guys want to, but will you? Will you?

1399
01:15:49,545 --> 01:15:52,247
Your face is giving me no vibes,
but I think you want it.

1400
01:15:52,314 --> 01:15:54,983
Let's get started with some stretches.
We're gonna bring the energy.

1401
01:15:55,050 --> 01:15:57,519
We're gonna start
with some right arm right across.

1402
01:15:57,586 --> 01:15:59,688
Let's go. Come on. Up, up.
Come on. You got it, too.

1403
01:15:59,755 --> 01:16:02,891
Yeah. Because, guys,
when you stay active and burn active,

1404
01:16:02,958 --> 01:16:05,794
you guys are gonna have six packs,
just like that.

1405
01:16:05,861 --> 01:16:07,296
I don't mean to cut you off right there,
Brinley,

1406
01:16:07,362 --> 01:16:11,099
but when it comes to six packs,
I think we are.

1407
01:16:11,166 --> 01:16:16,305
Oh. Okay, okay, okay. I'm impressed,
but if you guys need a program,

1408
01:16:16,371 --> 01:16:18,941
-I'm your girl. Hit me up, okay?
-Yeah.

1409
01:16:19,007 --> 01:16:21,710
[Vic] Blade and Enofe, they're gonna
have their chance next week

1410
01:16:21,777 --> 01:16:23,312
with another pair of first-round matches

1411
01:16:23,378 --> 01:16:25,714
that'll take place
in this year's Dusty Cup.

1412
01:16:25,781 --> 01:16:28,650
Four teams, two spots.
Who's heading to the semifinals?

1413
01:16:28,717 --> 01:16:32,154
Who will advance?
We find out next week, live on NXT.

1414
01:16:32,220 --> 01:16:34,189
And the women's division
will fill the ring

1415
01:16:34,256 --> 01:16:36,091
and toss each other over the top rope

1416
01:16:36,158 --> 01:16:39,294
with the last four women
competing in a Fatal 4-Way matchup.

1417
01:16:39,361 --> 01:16:43,565
The winner will compete for the NXT
women's title against Lyra Valkyria.

1418
01:16:43,632 --> 01:16:47,135
High stakes next week on NXT.

1419
01:16:47,202 --> 01:16:49,771
[Lexis] My way, my life.

1420
01:16:49,838 --> 01:16:52,841
["King" music playing]

1421
01:17:03,919 --> 01:17:06,254
[Vic] But it is a high stakes main event.

1422
01:17:06,321 --> 01:17:09,992
Yes, Dragon Lee's North American title
is on the line.

1423
01:17:10,058 --> 01:17:14,229
And there is the man
who referred to himself

1424
01:17:14,296 --> 01:17:15,897
as the face of truth.

1425
01:17:16,732 --> 01:17:18,367
-Did you hear him say that, Book?
-[Booker] Yeah, yeah.

1426
01:17:18,433 --> 01:17:20,769
-[Vic] The face of truth.
-[Booker] I'm gonna say this.

1427
01:17:20,836 --> 01:17:25,774
Since Lexis King made his debut,
you can't question the ratings boost.

1428
01:17:25,841 --> 01:17:31,680
I mean, one of the highest-rated shows
in NXT's history

1429
01:17:31,747 --> 01:17:33,281
when this man debuted.

1430
01:17:33,348 --> 01:17:37,285
You can't take that away from him.
No way you can do that.

1431
01:17:37,352 --> 01:17:41,123
[Vic] Should be moments away
from being called North American champion.

1432
01:17:41,189 --> 01:17:42,624
[bell ringing]

1433
01:17:42,691 --> 01:17:45,627
[Alicia] The following contest
scheduled for one fall

1434
01:17:45,694 --> 01:17:52,701
is for the NXT
North American Championship.

1435
01:17:53,802 --> 01:17:56,204
Introducing first, the challenger…

1436
01:17:57,072 --> 01:18:01,476
Lexis King.

1437
01:18:01,543 --> 01:18:03,979
[audience cheering]

1438
01:18:04,046 --> 01:18:06,114
And his opponent,

1439
01:18:06,181 --> 01:18:13,188
he is the NXT North American champion,

1440
01:18:13,755 --> 01:18:19,394
Dragon Lee.

1441
01:18:21,096 --> 01:18:23,231
[Booker]
Vic, Lexis is feeling something.

1442
01:18:23,298 --> 01:18:25,767
You can tell he's draped out in gold.

1443
01:18:25,834 --> 01:18:31,740
He's expecting to walk away
a new North American champ tonight.

1444
01:18:31,807 --> 01:18:33,775
[Vic] Well, it's hard to argue that.

1445
01:18:33,842 --> 01:18:37,446
Lexis King not trying
to take center stage,

1446
01:18:37,512 --> 01:18:39,448
so to speak, here in NXT.

1447
01:18:39,514 --> 01:18:42,451
It's pretty interesting
that he had a contract nicely typed

1448
01:18:42,517 --> 01:18:45,053
-in a nice folder, ready to go.
-[Booker] What's up with the headband?

1449
01:18:45,120 --> 01:18:46,254
What's up with the headband?

1450
01:18:46,321 --> 01:18:47,622
[Vic] You like the guy,
you don't like the guy.

1451
01:18:47,689 --> 01:18:49,724
What's up with you and fashion tonight,
all of a sudden?

1452
01:18:49,791 --> 01:18:50,792
[Booker] I like the guy,
but I'm just wondering,

1453
01:18:50,859 --> 01:18:51,727
what's up with the headband?

1454
01:18:51,793 --> 01:18:55,530
I mean, is he giving him
some kinda extra added advantage or what?

1455
01:18:55,597 --> 01:18:56,998
I don't know. I'm just wondering.

1456
01:18:57,065 --> 01:18:59,000
[Vic] We'll get back into the match
because the future Lucha Libre,

1457
01:18:59,067 --> 01:19:02,737
there's no way that Dragon Lee
is afraid of Lexis King.

1458
01:19:02,804 --> 01:19:04,673
Didn't seem to even blink an eye.

1459
01:19:04,740 --> 01:19:07,476
[Booker] You know what?
That's a Jedi mind trick, man.

1460
01:19:07,542 --> 01:19:11,780
You tell a man what he needs to hear
to fight him inside that square circle.

1461
01:19:11,847 --> 01:19:14,149
This is a main event.
A main event for Lexis King

1462
01:19:14,216 --> 01:19:17,552
to become the new North American champ.

1463
01:19:17,619 --> 01:19:20,322
[Vic] Lee coming right in.
Lee was absolutely devastated.

1464
01:19:20,388 --> 01:19:22,090
He wasn't able to be here
for New Year's Evil,

1465
01:19:22,157 --> 01:19:23,792
but he did come through with his promise.

1466
01:19:23,859 --> 01:19:27,729
He promised us a surprise,
and out came Carlito.

1467
01:19:27,796 --> 01:19:29,397
[Booker] What a surprise. You know what?

1468
01:19:29,464 --> 01:19:34,269
I was happy to see Carlito back inside
the square circle doing what he does best,

1469
01:19:34,336 --> 01:19:38,740
but I'm definitely glad to see Dragon Lee
get over those visa issues,

1470
01:19:38,807 --> 01:19:40,509
and now he's back in play.

1471
01:19:40,575 --> 01:19:41,843
[Vic] And he's back in action
here tonight.

1472
01:19:41,910 --> 01:19:44,346
Remember, when he defended
the title in a Triple Threat match?

1473
01:19:44,412 --> 01:19:46,748
We talked about not blinking,
not being afraid of anyone.

1474
01:19:46,815 --> 01:19:50,485
That's Dragon Lee. He said he was gonna be
a fighting champion,

1475
01:19:50,552 --> 01:19:53,054
and he's proven to be just that,
a fighting champion.

1476
01:19:53,121 --> 01:19:55,891
[Booker] He said it once.
This kid is extraordinary. Talent.

1477
01:19:55,957 --> 01:19:58,860
He's like the wind.
You can feel him, but you can't touch him.

1478
01:19:58,927 --> 01:20:02,397
But you know he's there every time
he can get a win that--

1479
01:20:02,464 --> 01:20:04,266
-[Vic] Shoulders down.
-[Booker] Oh, wow.

1480
01:20:04,332 --> 01:20:06,535
[Vic] And a quick kick out.
Almost a stalemate situation,

1481
01:20:06,601 --> 01:20:08,270
but King staying right on top.

1482
01:20:08,336 --> 01:20:11,506
And how about this matchup?
This matchup made official for next week.

1483
01:20:11,573 --> 01:20:16,378
We will have Tag Team action
with the NXT Women's Champion in action,

1484
01:20:16,444 --> 01:20:19,881
Valkyria Paxley, taking on Vice and Lopez.

1485
01:20:19,948 --> 01:20:21,283
When we talk about next week,

1486
01:20:21,349 --> 01:20:22,851
we have a championship
main event here tonight.

1487
01:20:22,918 --> 01:20:25,253
Next week on RAW,
title will be on the line as well.

1488
01:20:25,320 --> 01:20:28,890
Seth "Freakin'" Rollins defending
the world title against Jinder Mahal.

1489
01:20:28,957 --> 01:20:34,095
Two superstars who met in the finals
to crown the first ever NXT champion.

1490
01:20:34,162 --> 01:20:37,766
[Booker] Yes, indeed. Jinder Mahal
has been looking great as a player.

1491
01:20:37,833 --> 01:20:39,401
You can see that matchup right there.

1492
01:20:39,467 --> 01:20:42,304
Lexis King trying to cash in
on the big win.

1493
01:20:42,370 --> 01:20:45,774
[Vic] I'm talking about looking great.
That is Dragon Lee.

1494
01:20:47,409 --> 01:20:49,277
Dragon Lee now sight set charges in.

1495
01:20:49,344 --> 01:20:53,982
Oh, got caught by King.
And King now big dropkick. Nasty spill.

1496
01:20:54,049 --> 01:20:58,920
-[Booker] Athleticism.
-[Vic] Gnarly landing for the champion.

1497
01:20:58,987 --> 01:21:03,658
Challenger trying to take advantage.
He got tied up. He got caught.

1498
01:21:04,860 --> 01:21:08,830
As I don't think he liked what he saw.
Trey Bearhill, Bearhill's got an issue.

1499
01:21:08,897 --> 01:21:12,467
-Wait a minute. Lee up and over.
-[Booker] Big, wise Bearhill…

1500
01:21:12,534 --> 01:21:14,603
[Vic] …North American Championship
on the line.

1501
01:21:14,669 --> 01:21:15,704
[referee] Two…

1502
01:21:15,770 --> 01:21:20,075
[audience cheering and chanting]

1503
01:21:22,477 --> 01:21:23,645
[Vic] Back live on NXT.

1504
01:21:23,712 --> 01:21:24,579
This is our main event,

1505
01:21:24,646 --> 01:21:27,215
NXT North American Championship
on the line.

1506
01:21:27,282 --> 01:21:30,385
It has been all the challenger,
all Lexis King,

1507
01:21:30,452 --> 01:21:35,223
who could be closing in on his first reign
as champion here in NXT.

1508
01:21:35,290 --> 01:21:38,193
[Booker] I'm just wondering, why was
Trey Bearhill out here? I mean, trying to…

1509
01:21:38,260 --> 01:21:40,462
Oh, shoulders down. Kick out.

1510
01:21:40,528 --> 01:21:43,598
Don't… This man know the importance
of a championship match like this?

1511
01:21:43,665 --> 01:21:44,599
I mean, come on, man.

1512
01:21:44,666 --> 01:21:47,369
[Vic] Did you forget when King
cracked the steel chair

1513
01:21:47,435 --> 01:21:50,272
across the back of Bearhill
taking him out of the Breakout Tournament?

1514
01:21:50,338 --> 01:21:51,506
[Booker]
Why are you talking about old stuff?

1515
01:21:51,573 --> 01:21:53,008
[Vic] Because that's why he was out here.

1516
01:21:53,074 --> 01:21:55,210
[Booker]
This official needs to do his job.

1517
01:21:55,277 --> 01:21:56,811
Had well with all the understanding
and know-how

1518
01:21:56,878 --> 01:22:00,548
that this is a big deal right here tonight
for one man, Lexis King.

1519
01:22:00,615 --> 01:22:03,118
[Vic] Much like on that night,
it is Lexis King

1520
01:22:03,184 --> 01:22:07,656
who is like a snake slithered
into this championship matchup.

1521
01:22:07,722 --> 01:22:09,791
[Booker]
Why you gotta talk like that, Vic.

1522
01:22:09,858 --> 01:22:12,794
Why you gotta call a man a stink?

1523
01:22:12,861 --> 01:22:15,430
[Vic] He's a man who loves drama
to certain degrees,

1524
01:22:15,497 --> 01:22:17,766
and he's not loving
what Dragon Lee's doing now

1525
01:22:17,832 --> 01:22:22,370
because Lee, second win in this matchup,
firing back on the Challenger.

1526
01:22:24,306 --> 01:22:29,377
Can you imagine Lexis King with gold
around his waist here in NXT?

1527
01:22:29,444 --> 01:22:33,748
[Booker] Of course, I can. I can see
the ratings going up as we speak.

1528
01:22:33,815 --> 01:22:36,918
I can see merchandise sales going up.

1529
01:22:36,985 --> 01:22:40,956
I can see lights, camera, action.
Oh, yes, man.

1530
01:22:41,022 --> 01:22:43,358
[Vic] Lee should be looking in
on the future of Lucha Libre,

1531
01:22:43,425 --> 01:22:45,260
that being Dragon Lee. Oh!

1532
01:22:45,327 --> 01:22:47,896
Dragon Lee, what a kick that connected

1533
01:22:47,963 --> 01:22:50,398
with a little turnbuckle assistance,
up and over,

1534
01:22:50,465 --> 01:22:53,001
back into the turnbuckle
goes the challenger.

1535
01:22:53,068 --> 01:22:56,371
Champions rocking, champions rolling.
Lexis King.

1536
01:22:56,438 --> 01:22:58,740
[Booker] Wow, double kick there.
Wow, triple.

1537
01:22:58,807 --> 01:23:00,308
[Vic] Add a couple more. Bam.

1538
01:23:00,375 --> 01:23:04,245
Right to the face,
or as you would say, the snout.

1539
01:23:04,312 --> 01:23:07,482
[Booker] That was right there.
That was the precision timing

1540
01:23:07,549 --> 01:23:10,552
by this young man, Dragon Lee.
He's looking great, Vic.

1541
01:23:11,920 --> 01:23:15,824
[Vic] Dragon Lee setting his sights
right back in and the champion out.

1542
01:23:15,890 --> 01:23:21,262
Closing it out possibly another
successful defense and a near-fall.

1543
01:23:21,329 --> 01:23:25,867
Able to kick out is King,
but take a look at Dragon Lee.

1544
01:23:25,934 --> 01:23:27,669
Talking about that pinpoint.

1545
01:23:27,736 --> 01:23:32,073
First one, then following it
right back up with another.

1546
01:23:32,140 --> 01:23:34,642
[Booker] Yeah, but what about
the resilience of Lexis King,

1547
01:23:34,709 --> 01:23:38,380
that big kick out
after all of those combinations, Vic?

1548
01:23:39,414 --> 01:23:40,548
-[thuds]
-[audience booing]

1549
01:23:40,615 --> 01:23:42,350
Man up, man up.

1550
01:23:42,417 --> 01:23:44,652
[audience jeering]

1551
01:23:45,353 --> 01:23:48,490
-[Booker] Oh, yeah.
-[audience] Yeah.

1552
01:23:48,556 --> 01:23:51,826
-[audience] Yeah! Yeah!
-[thuds]

1553
01:23:53,194 --> 01:23:55,363
[Booker] Who's gonna blink, Vic?
Who's gonna blink?

1554
01:23:55,430 --> 01:23:58,333
[Vic] King just got kicked.
King, got caught.

1555
01:23:58,400 --> 01:24:01,369
Turned around, Lee back on his feet.
Taken down by King.

1556
01:24:01,436 --> 01:24:03,772
Lexis King trying to turn over
into that single crab.

1557
01:24:03,838 --> 01:24:06,775
Counted one more time. Up under the jaw.

1558
01:24:06,841 --> 01:24:09,544
Superkick. Big knee under the jaw of King.

1559
01:24:09,611 --> 01:24:13,615
King's rock. Coming right back in,
up and over, big clothesline.

1560
01:24:13,681 --> 01:24:16,584
Buckling the knees of the champion.
The challenger now.

1561
01:24:16,651 --> 01:24:18,820
-Oh, boom.
-[grunts]

1562
01:24:18,887 --> 01:24:19,888
Could this be it?

1563
01:24:19,954 --> 01:24:23,425
Do we have a new champion
and Lee kicking out.

1564
01:24:23,491 --> 01:24:26,628
-[Booker] Wow, that shot that Lexis…
-[Vic] What a sequence, but look at King.

1565
01:24:26,694 --> 01:24:27,962
King holding on to the ankle.

1566
01:24:28,029 --> 01:24:29,431
[Booker] Yes, he's holding on,

1567
01:24:29,497 --> 01:24:33,301
but that shot that he landed
to the back of the head and dragging Lee,

1568
01:24:33,368 --> 01:24:34,936
that could be the turning point, Vic.

1569
01:24:35,003 --> 01:24:36,004
[Vic] The back on fire.

1570
01:24:36,071 --> 01:24:41,810
Lee out of desperation, finding his way
one more time out of the submission.

1571
01:24:42,477 --> 01:24:45,980
What a sequence
between these two, both men.

1572
01:24:46,047 --> 01:24:48,983
Blow after blow and another superkick
under the jaw.

1573
01:24:49,050 --> 01:24:52,320
[Booker] He just walked into that
big shot by Dragon Lee.

1574
01:24:52,387 --> 01:24:55,490
[Vic] Dragon Lee connects. Into the cover.

1575
01:24:55,557 --> 01:24:57,058
-Into the count.
-[Booker] Wow.

1576
01:24:57,125 --> 01:24:59,727
[Vic] And Lee retains tonight.

1577
01:25:00,662 --> 01:25:02,997
[Alicia] Here is your winner, and still,

1578
01:25:03,064 --> 01:25:08,670
the NXT North America Champion,
Dragon Lee!

1579
01:25:08,736 --> 01:25:13,775
[Vic] Operation Dragon
still in full effect

1580
01:25:13,842 --> 01:25:16,144
for our North American Champion.

1581
01:25:17,345 --> 01:25:18,980
Back in some of the action.

1582
01:25:19,447 --> 01:25:22,617
This was the closing moments
for Dragon Lee.

1583
01:25:22,684 --> 01:25:26,988
Up, over, big victory.
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

1584
01:25:28,623 --> 01:25:30,058
Booker!

1585
01:25:30,125 --> 01:25:33,027
[Booker laughs]

1586
01:25:33,094 --> 01:25:36,030
-Oba Femi! With an official!
-[Booker] Oba Femi!

1587
01:25:36,097 --> 01:25:38,967
-Right now. Yes, right now.
-Now?

1588
01:25:40,635 --> 01:25:42,303
[Alicia] Ladies and gentlemen,

1589
01:25:42,370 --> 01:25:47,175
Oba Femi is executing
his Breakout Tournament contract

1590
01:25:47,242 --> 01:25:51,980
for the NXT North American Championship!

1591
01:25:52,046 --> 01:25:55,650
[Vic] We knew Femi had his eyes
on the title on this main event.

1592
01:25:55,717 --> 01:25:58,686
-[Booker] Wow, this is big, Vic.
-[Vic] And look at Dragon Lee.

1593
01:25:58,753 --> 01:26:03,791
There's no way Dragon Lee was ready
for this sort of challenge.

1594
01:26:03,858 --> 01:26:06,694
There's the bell. It's official.
Title's on the line.

1595
01:26:06,761 --> 01:26:11,232
Oba Femi, the Breakout Tournament winner,
has executed his contract,

1596
01:26:11,299 --> 01:26:14,435
his right, at any moment.
He picked his spot here tonight,

1597
01:26:14,502 --> 01:26:16,738
but Lee's already been through
one battle, Booker.

1598
01:26:16,804 --> 01:26:18,673
His mind's gotta be moving
a mile a minute,

1599
01:26:18,740 --> 01:26:20,608
and he's in there with a monster of a man.

1600
01:26:20,675 --> 01:26:22,410
-[Booker] [inaudible]
-[Vic] Whoa!

1601
01:26:22,477 --> 01:26:25,413
[Booker] Oh, my God! Oh, my God!

1602
01:26:25,480 --> 01:26:28,583
[Vic] This is Dragon Lee's
second title match of the night.

1603
01:26:28,650 --> 01:26:30,318
[audience shouting]

1604
01:26:30,385 --> 01:26:32,387
NXT universe on their feet.

1605
01:26:32,453 --> 01:26:35,557
Femi's looking for the coup d'etat, Vic.

1606
01:26:37,492 --> 01:26:39,227
[Vic] Oba Femi got caught!

1607
01:26:40,195 --> 01:26:43,331
And they're still fighting Dragon Lee.
I don't know where Lee's getting it from.

1608
01:26:43,398 --> 01:26:45,533
I don't know how Lee's on his feet.

1609
01:26:46,534 --> 01:26:49,571
Looking for a little assistance.
Tornado DDT connects.

1610
01:26:49,637 --> 01:26:54,409
Champion now desperately crawling
into the cover for two…

1611
01:26:54,475 --> 01:26:56,311
Oh, no!

1612
01:26:56,377 --> 01:26:59,280
[Booker] Didn't quite get all of that DDT.

1613
01:26:59,347 --> 01:27:01,549
Didn't swing out far enough,
but the hope was up.

1614
01:27:01,616 --> 01:27:03,384
Hope was up first.

1615
01:27:03,451 --> 01:27:07,755
[Vic] Somehow, some way, but look,
Dragon Lee looking for one more time.

1616
01:27:07,822 --> 01:27:10,425
Goes up. Gets overpowered.

1617
01:27:10,491 --> 01:27:15,663
Femi looking to plant the champion.

1618
01:27:15,730 --> 01:27:18,566
-Femi's into the cover.
-[audience] One, two, three!

1619
01:27:18,633 --> 01:27:22,270
-[Vic] Oba Femi has shocked us all.
-[Booker] What?

1620
01:27:22,337 --> 01:27:24,138
[Alicia] Here is your winner,

1621
01:27:24,205 --> 01:27:30,178
and the new NXT North America Champion,

1622
01:27:30,245 --> 01:27:33,781
Oba Femi!

1623
01:27:34,549 --> 01:27:38,620
[Vic] From Breakout Star to champion.

1624
01:27:40,788 --> 01:27:43,391
Just look at the power of Oba Femi.

1625
01:27:43,458 --> 01:27:48,529
This was after Dragon Lee had already
successfully defended his title

1626
01:27:48,596 --> 01:27:50,264
against Lexis King.

1627
01:27:50,331 --> 01:27:55,670
This was Dragon Lee's best opportunity
to retain for the second time tonight

1628
01:27:55,737 --> 01:28:00,341
that Tornado DDT,
but as fresh as Oba Femi was,

1629
01:28:00,408 --> 01:28:03,978
was able to kick out,
Lee was looking to go up, go around,

1630
01:28:04,045 --> 01:28:08,049
but instead found himself going up
and then getting planted

1631
01:28:08,116 --> 01:28:11,286
by the monstrous Oba Femi.

1632
01:28:12,553 --> 01:28:15,857
And just like that, in one week,

1633
01:28:15,923 --> 01:28:19,827
he executes his contract to win some gold.

1634
01:28:20,528 --> 01:28:25,266
And a fortune teller in Nigeria
told him he would dominate.

1635
01:28:25,333 --> 01:28:28,703
He would dominate an industry
in the future.

1636
01:28:29,370 --> 01:28:34,542
And, Book, the future is now for Oba Femi.

1637
01:28:34,609 --> 01:28:36,711
[audience cheering]

1638
01:28:36,778 --> 01:28:38,579
It's Oba time!

1639
01:28:42,250 --> 01:28:43,651
