00:00:02,235 --> 00:00:04,471
[theme music playing]

2
00:00:04,537 --> 00:00:06,539
[narrator] Then.

3
00:00:07,140 --> 00:00:08,308
[Ric Flair] Whoo!

4
00:00:08,375 --> 00:00:10,910
[The Rock] If you smell…

5
00:00:10,977 --> 00:00:12,212
[narrator] Now.

6
00:00:12,278 --> 00:00:14,214
[Roman] Acknowledge me.

7
00:00:14,781 --> 00:00:17,050
-[Lemmy] The King of Kings.
-[Cena] You can't see me.

8
00:00:17,117 --> 00:00:18,351
[narrator] Forever.

9
00:00:23,023 --> 00:00:24,057
Together.

10
00:00:29,529 --> 00:00:32,999
[audience cheering]

11
00:00:33,066 --> 00:00:37,437
-Mensah, this is the life.
-The Meta-four life, my brother.

12
00:00:37,504 --> 00:00:40,840
-Look at us.
-Look at us, it's tough at the top…

13
00:00:40,907 --> 00:00:42,342
but listen, tonight,

14
00:00:42,409 --> 00:00:47,180
we're going to put this Von Wagner
and Mr. Stone business to an end.

15
00:00:47,247 --> 00:00:51,251
-Easy money, easy chicks.
-Easy chicks. [chuckles]

16
00:00:51,317 --> 00:00:57,991
But right now, let's just relax
and clear our minds.

17
00:00:58,058 --> 00:00:59,259
-Sneak attack!
-Sneak attack!

18
00:00:59,325 --> 00:01:02,595
[all grunt]

19
00:01:03,163 --> 00:01:05,098
[grunting]

20
00:01:05,999 --> 00:01:08,168
-[thuds]
-[grunts]

21
00:01:08,234 --> 00:01:09,936
Come on, Stone. Let's go, let's go.

22
00:01:10,003 --> 00:01:11,538
-Hey, leave me alone, hey!
-Get up!

23
00:01:12,439 --> 00:01:14,808
Come on. Let's go, let's go.
Probably this way.

24
00:01:15,642 --> 00:01:16,609
Come on, come on, come on.

25
00:01:18,244 --> 00:01:20,146
Which way do they go? [grunts]

26
00:01:21,414 --> 00:01:23,583
Operation Sneak Attack.

27
00:01:23,650 --> 00:01:25,051
Success.

28
00:01:27,053 --> 00:01:28,421
[Vic] Well, we're live here on NXT,

29
00:01:28,488 --> 00:01:32,158
and it appears
that the Sneak Attack strategy worked.

30
00:01:32,225 --> 00:01:34,294
Vic Joseph alongside Byron Saxton.

31
00:01:34,360 --> 00:01:37,764
And we knew that Von
and we knew Mr. Stone had an idea.

32
00:01:37,831 --> 00:01:39,566
They were talking
about it on social media.

33
00:01:39,632 --> 00:01:42,869
[Byron] Bamboozled by the Sneak Attack.
I love it.

34
00:01:42,936 --> 00:01:46,306
Catching no end there.
Oh, Mensah off guard here.

35
00:01:46,372 --> 00:01:50,510
[Vic] And we're calling somewhat
of [inaudible] here tonight on NXT,

36
00:01:50,577 --> 00:01:53,847
because Mr. Stone, Von Wagner
taking matters in their own hands.

37
00:01:53,913 --> 00:01:55,682
An official just ran by us.

38
00:01:55,748 --> 00:01:59,252
The bell has sounded, it's official.
This is how we're kicking off the night.

39
00:01:59,319 --> 00:02:01,154
[Byron] But listen, Vic,
never underestimate

40
00:02:01,221 --> 00:02:03,256
the strategizing of two 7-year-olds.

41
00:02:03,323 --> 00:02:06,292
[Vic] That's true. Can Cash and Carter
be the difference makers

42
00:02:06,359 --> 00:02:08,394
that Von Wagner and Mr. Stone needed?

43
00:02:08,461 --> 00:02:12,465
[Byron] They are right now.
Mr. Stone on the middle rope.

44
00:02:12,532 --> 00:02:13,900
-[thuds]
-[audience groans]

45
00:02:13,967 --> 00:02:15,835
[Vic]
And look at Mr. Stone into the cover.

46
00:02:15,902 --> 00:02:18,338
First of the matchup and a near-fall.

47
00:02:19,005 --> 00:02:21,875
Just take a look at Mr. Stone.
He looks like he's cut out of stone.

48
00:02:21,941 --> 00:02:23,977
[Byron] Listen, you know all the nerves,
Mr. Stone.

49
00:02:24,043 --> 00:02:27,447
You saw the social media post talking
about the trepidation he was feeling.

50
00:02:27,514 --> 00:02:30,383
Getting into this match.
Getting ready to team with Von right now.

51
00:02:30,850 --> 00:02:32,051
He does look like he has a Mr. Beat.

52
00:02:32,752 --> 00:02:34,721
[Vic] I think you're just jealous
of that physique, Byron.

53
00:02:34,787 --> 00:02:39,325
Oh, but you're not jealous
of what just happened to Mr. Stone.

54
00:02:39,392 --> 00:02:44,931
Courtesy of Oro Mensah who's showing
that he is ice cold in the ring.

55
00:02:44,998 --> 00:02:47,000
And I'm actually looking at you right now.

56
00:02:47,066 --> 00:02:49,335
Because you guys had social media beef
this past week.

57
00:02:49,402 --> 00:02:52,438
[Byron] Don't listen to everything you see
on your social media feed. All right?

58
00:02:52,505 --> 00:02:54,707
[audience chattering]

59
00:02:55,341 --> 00:02:59,078
[Vic] A tag was made.
And Stone now in the wrong part of town.

60
00:02:59,145 --> 00:03:02,115
The Heritage Cup Champion,
Noam Dar, has checked in.

61
00:03:02,715 --> 00:03:04,584
[Byron] This is what
you have to be worried about.

62
00:03:04,651 --> 00:03:07,453
If you're Stone.
The more experienced Oro Mensah.

63
00:03:07,520 --> 00:03:11,624
The more experienced Noam Dar,
who are in the ring every single week.

64
00:03:11,691 --> 00:03:13,793
At the top of their game.

65
00:03:13,860 --> 00:03:15,995
[Vic] I don't think I didn't hear
what you said about Oro Mensah.

66
00:03:16,062 --> 00:03:18,131
He didn't like that you were sitting
at the table last week.

67
00:03:18,197 --> 00:03:20,300
And he's going to make
that known I'm sure again.

68
00:03:20,366 --> 00:03:23,603
Here this week seeing you.
But right now it is all Noam Dar.

69
00:03:23,670 --> 00:03:25,972
-And you know what? Like him or not.
-[audience booing]

70
00:03:26,039 --> 00:03:28,441
How impressive
is the Heritage Cup Champion?

71
00:03:28,908 --> 00:03:30,743
[Byron] When you think
about the Heritage Cup Championship

72
00:03:30,810 --> 00:03:34,581
you think about Noam Dar.
He is synonymous with that championship.

73
00:03:34,647 --> 00:03:37,283
[Vic] And the official distracted
by Von Wagner.

74
00:03:37,350 --> 00:03:39,319
Who is drawn in by Noam Dar.

75
00:03:39,385 --> 00:03:41,688
-[Vic] And a little extra right now. Oh!
-[thuds]

76
00:03:42,689 --> 00:03:44,290
-[Vic] And Stone.
-One!

77
00:03:44,357 --> 00:03:46,192
-[Vic] Can he kick out? He does at two.
-Two!

78
00:03:46,259 --> 00:03:47,894
Look at what Mr. Stone is doing.

79
00:03:47,961 --> 00:03:50,697
When was the last time you saw him
in the ring? It's been quite some time.

80
00:03:50,763 --> 00:03:52,031
Even here on NXT.

81
00:03:52,098 --> 00:03:55,268
[Byron] If you think about
his entire career. It's been years.

82
00:03:55,335 --> 00:03:57,604
Since Stone has been a regular competitor.

83
00:03:57,670 --> 00:04:00,473
[Vic] Still to come tonight.
NXT Tag Team Championship

84
00:04:00,540 --> 00:04:02,508
we'll be on the line,
the family defending,

85
00:04:02,575 --> 00:04:04,510
against this year's Dusty Cup winners,

86
00:04:04,577 --> 00:04:07,347
The Wolfdogs,
Bron Breakker and Baron Corbin.

87
00:04:07,413 --> 00:04:12,218
Big kick from the main man, Mensah.
And still to come, Carmelo Hayes and Gacy.

88
00:04:12,285 --> 00:04:15,154
Into the cover, knee across the face,
and a kick out.

89
00:04:16,022 --> 00:04:18,324
Are you worried, though, Byron?
It's time to catch you up.

90
00:04:18,391 --> 00:04:21,594
Are you worried for Stone in this matchup?

91
00:04:22,395 --> 00:04:26,866
[Byron] I'm worried from the standpoint
of Stone's emotions.

92
00:04:26,933 --> 00:04:30,370
One of the things he had to say
before this match is,

93
00:04:30,436 --> 00:04:34,374
"I don't want my kids, Cash and Carter,
to have to go to school tomorrow

94
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:36,209
and say my dad lost."

95
00:04:36,276 --> 00:04:38,911
[Vic] Into another cover.
And Mr. Stone able to kick out.

96
00:04:38,978 --> 00:04:40,213
Don't sleep on Mr. Stone.

97
00:04:40,280 --> 00:04:43,149
He's battled Hall of Famers
like Kurt Angle throughout his career.

98
00:04:43,216 --> 00:04:44,884
He's done battles here on NXT.

99
00:04:44,951 --> 00:04:48,421
But to your point,
he isn't a regular superstar in the ring.

100
00:04:48,488 --> 00:04:51,791
Like Von Wagner,
who he's been training for several weeks.

101
00:04:51,858 --> 00:04:53,493
Actually for several months.

102
00:04:53,559 --> 00:04:55,428
[Byron] Certainly changed
the career of Von Wagner.

103
00:04:55,495 --> 00:04:57,930
But to your point, about Mr. Stone.

104
00:04:57,997 --> 00:05:01,200
Every time you hit those ropes,
every time he gets slammed.

105
00:05:01,267 --> 00:05:05,705
It is more jarring than your competitors
because your body isn't calloused enough.

106
00:05:05,772 --> 00:05:08,408
Your body isn't accustomed
to this level of punishment.

107
00:05:08,474 --> 00:05:10,476
[Vic] And Stone
trying to turn things around,

108
00:05:10,543 --> 00:05:12,612
but there's Noam Dar, who is legal.

109
00:05:12,679 --> 00:05:13,813
He did make the tag.

110
00:05:13,880 --> 00:05:16,749
And you got to wonder what's on his mind,
because No Quarter Catch Crew,

111
00:05:16,816 --> 00:05:19,185
they got him looking close
at this matchup.

112
00:05:19,252 --> 00:05:21,788
Studying Dar.
But right now, here's the moment.

113
00:05:22,822 --> 00:05:25,491
Mr. Stone, a long way away.

114
00:05:25,558 --> 00:05:28,127
And Von Wagner, like a caged beast.

115
00:05:28,194 --> 00:05:29,829
Waiting to get into this matchup.

116
00:05:30,596 --> 00:05:32,365
[Byron] You got a clear lane Stone.

117
00:05:32,432 --> 00:05:34,600
Oh, look at-- make a tag.

118
00:05:34,667 --> 00:05:39,906
[Vic] Noam Dar not pleased.
But in comes Von Wagner.

119
00:05:40,573 --> 00:05:44,210
And for Von Wagner, who came up short,
against the Heritage Cup Champion.

120
00:05:44,277 --> 00:05:48,548
His goal this year is still the same.
He wants to win some gold.

121
00:05:48,614 --> 00:05:50,616
[Byron] This version of Von Wagner
that I have seen.

122
00:05:50,683 --> 00:05:55,054
I would say is more championship ready
than he has ever been in his career.

123
00:05:55,121 --> 00:05:56,489
[audience] Von! Von!

124
00:05:57,890 --> 00:06:01,527
It's the focus. It's the intensity.
It's the ability to lock in.

125
00:06:01,594 --> 00:06:03,629
Unlike he has been able to in the past.

126
00:06:05,531 --> 00:06:09,469
[Vic] Main man trying to run
some interference. Double chokeslam.

127
00:06:11,003 --> 00:06:13,940
-[Byron] And how the tides are turned!
-[Vic] Tag.

128
00:06:14,006 --> 00:06:16,008
[Vic] And what's on the mind of Stone?

129
00:06:16,075 --> 00:06:18,644
You can never question
the heart of a father

130
00:06:18,711 --> 00:06:21,948
who's fighting for his children and Stone.

131
00:06:22,014 --> 00:06:25,118
-[Byron] All the way up.
-[audience cheering]

132
00:06:25,184 --> 00:06:27,553
-[Vic] Big splash.
-[thuds]

133
00:06:27,620 --> 00:06:30,890
One, two! Ooh!

134
00:06:32,759 --> 00:06:35,628
[Vic] And Dar's main man
breaking up the count.

135
00:06:35,695 --> 00:06:37,063
Another look. Boom.

136
00:06:38,231 --> 00:06:41,868
Just driving the air out of the lungs
not to be outdone.

137
00:06:41,934 --> 00:06:44,303
-That massive splash.
-[screams]

138
00:06:44,370 --> 00:06:46,072
[Byron]
Look at Stone getting all fired up.

139
00:06:46,139 --> 00:06:48,641
Dar and Oro Mensah to get some.

140
00:06:48,708 --> 00:06:50,309
[audience cheering]

141
00:06:51,911 --> 00:06:56,115
[Vic] Oh, gnarly landing.
Right out here in front of us.

142
00:06:56,182 --> 00:06:58,451
-And Stone now. Ooh!
-[audience] Ooh!

143
00:06:58,518 --> 00:07:00,186
[Vic] And that might have been
a mistake by Stone.

144
00:07:00,253 --> 00:07:03,356
And we talked about the fact that he isn't
a regular in-ring competitor.

145
00:07:03,423 --> 00:07:07,527
But Mensah just got wiped out.
And Dar from behind.

146
00:07:07,593 --> 00:07:10,430
Jackknife cover.
Shoulders down and a kick out.

147
00:07:10,496 --> 00:07:15,334
Noam Dar trying to steal one. Dar is known
to cheat more than Tristan Thompson.

148
00:07:15,401 --> 00:07:17,470
But he might not get away with it tonight.

149
00:07:17,537 --> 00:07:19,505
[Byron] Right now
it's all up to Von Wagner.

150
00:07:19,572 --> 00:07:22,308
[Vic] Whoa! Lash and Jakara.

151
00:07:22,375 --> 00:07:25,445
Distracting the official.
They didn't see the chop block by Mensah.

152
00:07:25,511 --> 00:07:27,980
-[Vic] And Dar steals it.
-[bell ringing]

153
00:07:28,047 --> 00:07:29,148
["Time Out" playing]

154
00:07:29,215 --> 00:07:33,085
[Alicia] Here are your winners,
Meta-Four.

155
00:07:34,353 --> 00:07:38,658
-[Vic] Frustration from Von Wagner.
-[audience booing]

156
00:07:39,692 --> 00:07:42,929
-As Meta-Four does it again.
-[audience booing]

157
00:07:42,995 --> 00:07:45,064
[Byron] The numbers game again, Vic.

158
00:07:45,898 --> 00:07:47,767
[Vic] By hook or by crook.

159
00:07:47,834 --> 00:07:50,403
And while Meta-Four
maybe has put this issue to rest.

160
00:07:50,469 --> 00:07:55,007
Last week issues continue to rise
for Carmelo Hayes.

161
00:08:00,646 --> 00:08:02,348
Not yet. Not yet.

162
00:08:08,988 --> 00:08:10,957
[Vic] Dragunov has a lot on his mind.

163
00:08:11,023 --> 00:08:13,826
He wants to know the answer
to the question everybody is asking.

164
00:08:13,893 --> 00:08:16,195
Carmelo Hayes!

165
00:08:16,796 --> 00:08:19,632
You come out right now!

166
00:08:20,533 --> 00:08:22,501
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

167
00:08:23,736 --> 00:08:27,573
I advise you to step out of my way.

168
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:29,809
[audience cheering]

169
00:08:32,478 --> 00:08:33,479
I will destroy you.

170
00:08:41,120 --> 00:08:45,558
The million dollar question.
Did I attack Trick Williams?

171
00:08:46,626 --> 00:08:48,761
You're damn right I did.

172
00:08:49,629 --> 00:08:54,200
At the end of the day
you were always my hype man.

173
00:08:54,700 --> 00:08:55,968
That's all it is.

174
00:08:56,802 --> 00:09:00,206
And that is all you'll ever be.

175
00:09:02,108 --> 00:09:05,778
[Vic] No love will be shown
in our main event matchup.

176
00:09:05,845 --> 00:09:09,615
[Wade] These two are going to rip
each other apart.

177
00:09:09,682 --> 00:09:11,851
[Vic] Look! Joe Gacy!

178
00:09:11,918 --> 00:09:13,252
What did we just see?

179
00:09:13,319 --> 00:09:16,022
Dragunov it up didn't see what happened.
Nor the official.

180
00:09:16,555 --> 00:09:19,692
And the NXT champion reigns supreme.

181
00:09:19,759 --> 00:09:21,193
Once again.

182
00:09:22,995 --> 00:09:27,366
Carmelo Hayes has his eyes
on what was once his.

183
00:09:28,301 --> 00:09:31,304
Hayes finally showing his true colors.

184
00:09:32,538 --> 00:09:37,376
And if history tells us anything,
it's when Hayes shoots, he don't miss.

185
00:09:43,182 --> 00:09:45,451
[Vic] Of course,
a new side of Carmelo Hayes,

186
00:09:45,518 --> 00:09:49,655
but this is a man
trying to show his true colors.

187
00:09:51,157 --> 00:09:52,224
[bell ringing]

188
00:09:52,291 --> 00:09:57,330
[Alicia] The following
is a Gallus Gauntlet match!

189
00:09:57,396 --> 00:10:01,267
Introducing first, Ridge Holland!

190
00:10:01,801 --> 00:10:06,939
[Vic] Ridge Holland has been waiting
for weeks to fight all of Gallus.

191
00:10:07,006 --> 00:10:12,211
Can he survive the Gallus Gauntlet?
We'll find out next on NXT.

192
00:10:15,281 --> 00:10:18,584
["Accomplished" playing]

193
00:10:19,118 --> 00:10:21,921
[Chase] Right here.
Get it straight for me. That's it.

194
00:10:23,255 --> 00:10:25,291
This podium,
finally back where it belongs.

195
00:10:25,358 --> 00:10:26,792
You took good care.
Not a scratch on there.

196
00:10:26,859 --> 00:10:30,630
I appreciate that.
Check this out. Check this out.

197
00:10:32,098 --> 00:10:32,932
Warms your heart.

198
00:10:32,999 --> 00:10:34,967
Sometimes you got to let things go,
and if it comes back,

199
00:10:35,034 --> 00:10:36,502
you know it's there to stay.

200
00:10:36,569 --> 00:10:38,604
Speaking of, for the second time,

201
00:10:38,671 --> 00:10:39,939
[laughs]

202
00:10:40,006 --> 00:10:43,609
the MVP trophy,
everything is right in the world.

203
00:10:43,676 --> 00:10:47,413
Ladies and gentlemen,
welcome to Andre Chase University!

204
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:50,216
[cheering]

205
00:10:50,282 --> 00:10:52,852
I want to formally apologize
for the delay in the start

206
00:10:52,918 --> 00:10:54,387
to the spring semester.

207
00:10:55,321 --> 00:10:56,555
We went through some dark clouds.

208
00:10:57,890 --> 00:11:02,561
But we made it out the other side,
thanks to Jacy mother-[bleep] Jayne!

209
00:11:02,628 --> 00:11:06,365
-[Chase] Yes, yes, yes! Woo!
-[cheering]

210
00:11:06,432 --> 00:11:12,738
Chase University is [bleep] back,
and we are better than ever!

211
00:11:13,539 --> 00:11:17,877
Jacy. Jacy. Jacy.

212
00:11:18,878 --> 00:11:21,981
You're the best.
I'm gonna go talk to Riley, though.

213
00:11:22,048 --> 00:11:23,516
We have a date.

214
00:11:25,685 --> 00:11:29,722
-[Thea] What's up, Riley?
-[scoffs]

215
00:11:29,789 --> 00:11:33,759
[indistinct chatter]

216
00:11:33,826 --> 00:11:34,994
[Andre shushing]

217
00:11:37,863 --> 00:11:40,399
It's okay. Okay.

218
00:11:40,466 --> 00:11:41,834
-[exhales]
-[Andre] We're good.

219
00:11:41,901 --> 00:11:43,703
Adriana Rizzo!

220
00:11:43,769 --> 00:11:45,738
Just the woman I've been looking for.

221
00:11:45,805 --> 00:11:48,174
-Big night tonight, huh?
-Big night.

222
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:52,545
Tony and Stacks defending
their tag titles. You and Jaida.

223
00:11:52,611 --> 00:11:55,848
Jacy, I got places to be.
What do you got for me?

224
00:11:55,915 --> 00:11:57,316
All right, here you go.

225
00:11:58,517 --> 00:12:00,352
Wow, seems a little heavy.

226
00:12:00,419 --> 00:12:02,455
Calendar sales were above projections,

227
00:12:02,521 --> 00:12:05,658
so I threw a little extra
in there for you.

228
00:12:05,725 --> 00:12:10,329
And assuming Tony and Stacks
retain their tag titles tonight,

229
00:12:10,396 --> 00:12:13,599
ask them to give a look to Duke and Chase
for a title shot.

230
00:12:15,301 --> 00:12:17,269
I'll speak to The Don
and see what I can do.

231
00:12:18,337 --> 00:12:19,171
All right.

232
00:12:22,241 --> 00:12:26,278
Jacy! Jacy! Jacy! Jacy!

233
00:12:26,345 --> 00:12:29,615
Jacy! Jacy! Jacy! Jacy!

234
00:12:30,783 --> 00:12:32,051
[Vic] I don't know about you, Byron,

235
00:12:32,118 --> 00:12:35,387
but it's just good to see smiles
on campus once again.

236
00:12:35,454 --> 00:12:38,057
[Byron] I think Jacy Jayne
is the new MVP of Chase U!

237
00:12:39,158 --> 00:12:40,459
[Vic] Well, tell Duke I said that.

238
00:12:42,628 --> 00:12:44,563
Come right up!

239
00:12:46,031 --> 00:12:48,767
[Alicia]
Making their way to the ring, Mark Coffey,

240
00:12:48,834 --> 00:12:53,339
Joe Coffey, and Wolfgang, Gallus.

241
00:12:54,073 --> 00:12:57,209
[Vic] Ridge Holland,
dangerously focused on this match.

242
00:12:57,276 --> 00:12:58,177
The rules are simple.

243
00:12:58,244 --> 00:13:02,081
If Ridge defeats a member of Gallus
or face the next member,

244
00:13:03,015 --> 00:13:06,285
the question I have for you,
do you like those odds

245
00:13:06,352 --> 00:13:09,188
of all three members of Gallus
swarming ringside?

246
00:13:09,255 --> 00:13:12,892
[Byron] You call the focus on the face
of Ridge Holland, I call it concern.

247
00:13:12,958 --> 00:13:14,860
I respect what Ridge Holland could do.

248
00:13:14,927 --> 00:13:16,262
Extremely tough competitor,

249
00:13:16,328 --> 00:13:19,465
but I think it's dawning on Ridge Holland
that maybe he's in over his head here.

250
00:13:19,532 --> 00:13:24,236
[Vic] Which member of Gallus is going to
start this Gallus Gauntlet match?

251
00:13:25,004 --> 00:13:27,807
All three men in the ring.
This isn't three on one.

252
00:13:27,873 --> 00:13:29,875
It appears it's going to be Wolfgang.

253
00:13:29,942 --> 00:13:33,179
[Byron] Early mind games to attempt
to throw Ridge Holland off his game.

254
00:13:34,313 --> 00:13:37,817
[Vic] Is it wise if Ridge, who wanna fight
all of Gallus? I understand he's upset.

255
00:13:37,883 --> 00:13:42,922
I understand he's a man of pride.
Think about what he's been asking for.

256
00:13:42,988 --> 00:13:45,224
[Byron] All three members of Gallus.
It's not smart.

257
00:13:45,291 --> 00:13:46,959
What I think right now
is that Ridge Holland

258
00:13:47,026 --> 00:13:48,627
is a prisoner of his own emotions.

259
00:13:48,694 --> 00:13:50,663
And by that, I mean you think about
everything Ridge Holland

260
00:13:50,729 --> 00:13:54,333
has talked about being
on his redemptive story here at NXT.

261
00:13:54,400 --> 00:13:57,102
Battling injuries,
dissolution of the brawling brutes,

262
00:13:57,169 --> 00:13:58,604
controversial public perception.

263
00:13:58,671 --> 00:14:01,674
All these things are weighing
on the heart and soul of Ridge Holland,

264
00:14:01,740 --> 00:14:04,810
and this is his way to expunge
some of that difficulty.

265
00:14:04,877 --> 00:14:06,679
[Vic] It was something you brought up,
'cause I wonder how he feels

266
00:14:06,745 --> 00:14:09,048
with his former partner, Pete Dunne,
teaming with Tyler Bate.

267
00:14:09,114 --> 00:14:11,984
We'll be facing the Judgment Day
for the Undisputed WWE Tag Team Titles

268
00:14:12,051 --> 00:14:15,387
at Elimination Chamber
a week from Saturday in Perth,

269
00:14:15,454 --> 00:14:18,991
streaming on Peacock, but right now
he should be focused, hopefully,

270
00:14:19,058 --> 00:14:21,126
on Wolfgang and the rest of Gallus

271
00:14:21,193 --> 00:14:25,164
who called out Ridge for having
no friends in the locker room.

272
00:14:25,231 --> 00:14:26,265
[Byron] They're accurate.

273
00:14:26,332 --> 00:14:28,133
Did you see anybody come
into Ridge Holland's aid

274
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:29,735
a couple weeks ago on NXT?

275
00:14:29,802 --> 00:14:30,669
Ridge isn't used to this.

276
00:14:31,136 --> 00:14:33,439
He's used to having the Pete Dunnes
and the Sheamuses in his corner.

277
00:14:33,505 --> 00:14:35,541
Now Ridge is all alone.

278
00:14:35,608 --> 00:14:39,178
He is forced to ride solo,
and he's paying for it, unfortunately.

279
00:14:39,245 --> 00:14:42,815
[Vic] You know, it's hard to argue, Byron,
and you brought up a great point earlier

280
00:14:42,882 --> 00:14:44,416
about a prisoner in his own,
what did you say?

281
00:14:44,483 --> 00:14:46,151
[Byron] A prisoner of his own emotions.

282
00:14:46,218 --> 00:14:47,953
[Vic] And I give a lot of credit to Ava.

283
00:14:48,020 --> 00:14:52,258
How wise was Ava to help Ridge
by giving him what he wanted,

284
00:14:52,324 --> 00:14:55,728
but also making it a Gauntlet-style
matchup, as now Ridge

285
00:14:55,794 --> 00:14:59,531
taking control of the matchup,
sliding out right in front of, however,

286
00:14:59,598 --> 00:15:02,134
Joe Coffey and now punishing Wolfgang.

287
00:15:02,201 --> 00:15:04,470
[Byron] Ava was trying to protect
Ridge Holland from himself,

288
00:15:04,536 --> 00:15:06,238
but you notice even in this scenario,

289
00:15:06,305 --> 00:15:09,608
Ridge is focused on Wolfgang,
but keeping an eye on the Coffeys,

290
00:15:09,675 --> 00:15:12,945
keeping his attention divided as a result.

291
00:15:13,479 --> 00:15:17,549
[Vic] Ava, the youngest general manager
in WWE history, wise beyond her years,

292
00:15:17,616 --> 00:15:21,253
as taking his eye off the ball might
not have been wise for Ridge Holland.

293
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:24,223
There's just Joe Coffey
chirping in Ridge's ear

294
00:15:24,290 --> 00:15:28,260
as Wolfgang turning this matchup around
and trying to follow it up

295
00:15:28,327 --> 00:15:31,363
as Wolfgang right down into Ridge.

296
00:15:32,064 --> 00:15:34,533
And it's important to know
that when you think of Wolfgang,

297
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:36,568
he's the wild card of Gallus.

298
00:15:36,635 --> 00:15:40,406
There's who some say is the leader
of Gallus, Joe Coffey, and the calm one,

299
00:15:40,472 --> 00:15:42,074
if you can call him that, is Mark.

300
00:15:42,141 --> 00:15:44,109
[Byron] Yeah, yeah,
but there's no good option here.

301
00:15:44,176 --> 00:15:48,380
You're starting off this match
assuming Ridge can get past Wolfgang,

302
00:15:48,447 --> 00:15:50,316
it doesn't get any easier.

303
00:15:50,382 --> 00:15:52,084
[grunts]

304
00:15:52,551 --> 00:15:55,821
[Vic] Some of the NXT Universe
trying to rally Holland in this moment.

305
00:15:55,888 --> 00:15:58,924
Just trying to get back to a vertical base
and then just gets rocked

306
00:15:58,991 --> 00:16:01,827
with a vicious headbutt, and there goes
Wolfgang right back to the body,

307
00:16:01,894 --> 00:16:05,431
driving the air right out of the lungs
of Ridge Holland.

308
00:16:06,365 --> 00:16:11,870
Always strength in numbers for Gallus,
a trio that just thrives in chaos.

309
00:16:12,504 --> 00:16:14,373
[Byron] Thrive in chaos,
they love to fight,

310
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:17,943
they'll punch you in the mouth
and celebrate at the pub 20 minutes later.

311
00:16:18,010 --> 00:16:21,480
[Vic] You know, this trio also, Byron,
has really mastered the skill

312
00:16:21,547 --> 00:16:25,284
of getting under someone's skin,
like they've done to Ridge Holland.

313
00:16:25,351 --> 00:16:30,255
But here comes Holland, trying to block,
maybe counter the suplex.

314
00:16:30,322 --> 00:16:33,692
Does he have enough strength
to hoist up Wolfgang?

315
00:16:33,759 --> 00:16:39,131
Holland, will the third time
be the charm? And Wolfgang now.

316
00:16:40,799 --> 00:16:43,869
-[Vic] Ridge! Ow!
-[grunts]

317
00:16:43,936 --> 00:16:47,206
[Vic] I wonder so much taken out
of Ridge Holland early on in this matchup.

318
00:16:47,272 --> 00:16:48,741
Holland's gonna need something,

319
00:16:48,807 --> 00:16:51,477
some sort of big boost
to get back into the match.

320
00:16:51,543 --> 00:16:53,712
A big suplex by Holland.

321
00:16:54,279 --> 00:16:56,882
[Byron] That might be the big boost
we were talking about, Vic,

322
00:16:56,949 --> 00:16:59,184
the big opening that Ridge Holland needs.

323
00:17:00,352 --> 00:17:02,021
[Vic] Wolfgang wiped out.

324
00:17:03,589 --> 00:17:05,657
Gallus on the back foot.

325
00:17:07,659 --> 00:17:10,696
[Byron] Ridge Holland has got to tap
into all that emotion right now.

326
00:17:11,797 --> 00:17:13,599
[Vic] Ridge Holland is fired up.

327
00:17:13,665 --> 00:17:16,402
Can Holland survive the Gallus Gauntlet?

328
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:25,310
[Vic] Back on NXT,
Ridge Holland right now doing the work

329
00:17:26,044 --> 00:17:28,547
as he's on to his second member of Gallus,

330
00:17:28,614 --> 00:17:32,017
as you witnessed in that last
picture-in-picture commercial break,

331
00:17:32,084 --> 00:17:36,021
Ridge Holland was able to pick up
his first victory of this Gauntlet,

332
00:17:36,088 --> 00:17:40,159
Gallet, Gauntlet match,
excuse me, as he just gets chopped down

333
00:17:40,225 --> 00:17:43,028
back to the injured knee with Mark Coffey.

334
00:17:43,095 --> 00:17:44,630
During the commercial break,

335
00:17:44,696 --> 00:17:47,299
this is what had happened
to get Wolfgang eliminated.

336
00:17:47,366 --> 00:17:50,736
That northern grit,
the power of Ridge Holland,

337
00:17:50,803 --> 00:17:53,072
Wolfgang now set to the outside.

338
00:17:53,138 --> 00:17:55,607
Mark Coffey has come in
and that has got us

339
00:17:55,674 --> 00:17:58,410
to where we are
in this Gallus Gauntlet match.

340
00:17:58,477 --> 00:18:01,346
-Do not try to say that five times fast.
-[Byron] Oh, well, they asked me twice.

341
00:18:01,413 --> 00:18:03,649
[Byron] Listen, there's something
that I noticed there, Vic,

342
00:18:03,715 --> 00:18:06,718
right after that pinfall victory
for Ridge Holland,

343
00:18:06,785 --> 00:18:09,988
almost instinctively thinking to himself,
the match is over, time to celebrate.

344
00:18:10,055 --> 00:18:12,558
No, there was no rest period whatsoever.

345
00:18:12,624 --> 00:18:17,262
Mark Coffey was in there immediately
to start mauling Ridge Holland again.

346
00:18:17,329 --> 00:18:20,732
That is the disadvantage
of this Gauntlet match for Ridge Holland.

347
00:18:20,799 --> 00:18:23,635
[Vic] Well, that's a great point
because these matches aren't typical.

348
00:18:23,702 --> 00:18:26,171
You aren't prepared for this.
It's a lot like a Heritage Cup match.

349
00:18:26,238 --> 00:18:28,607
Noam Dar in the first matchup,
who competes.

350
00:18:28,674 --> 00:18:31,977
Those aren't typical,
traditional matches in the WWE.

351
00:18:32,044 --> 00:18:34,546
It's a different mindset.
It's what your point is, Byron.

352
00:18:35,013 --> 00:18:37,549
Gallus has been able to game plan
with one another.

353
00:18:37,616 --> 00:18:40,052
[Byron] And this is impressive.
You see this right here?

354
00:18:40,119 --> 00:18:43,288
Ridge Holland is daring,
asking Joe Coffey,

355
00:18:43,355 --> 00:18:47,559
keep hitting me, keep striking me,
keep trying to break my spirit.

356
00:18:47,626 --> 00:18:49,828
[Vic] Well, look, it's Ridge Holland
who said time and time again,

357
00:18:49,895 --> 00:18:53,499
he's out here to prove
a lot of things to a lot of people.

358
00:18:53,565 --> 00:18:56,368
When he gets told you don't
have any friends or people don't like him

359
00:18:56,435 --> 00:18:59,771
or people don't trust him,
that has to eat away at a man's soul,

360
00:18:59,838 --> 00:19:01,940
and that is what Ridge Holland
is fighting for.

361
00:19:02,007 --> 00:19:03,008
[Byron] We're all human.

362
00:19:03,075 --> 00:19:06,211
We all have those moments,
those issues that weigh on our soul

363
00:19:06,278 --> 00:19:08,480
that we would do almost
anything to get rid of.

364
00:19:08,547 --> 00:19:11,216
But sometimes in this case,
I think maybe Ridge Holland

365
00:19:11,283 --> 00:19:13,752
is putting a little too much pressure
on himself.

366
00:19:13,819 --> 00:19:15,821
[Vic] Look, Holland trying to fight back
in this match.

367
00:19:15,888 --> 00:19:19,158
I want to get your thoughts. How do you
view Ridge Holland after the accidents

368
00:19:19,224 --> 00:19:21,026
that have happened in his career?

369
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:24,429
[Byron] I have as much respect
for Ridge Holland as I always have.

370
00:19:24,496 --> 00:19:27,032
Like I said, sometimes
you can always be your worst enemy.

371
00:19:27,733 --> 00:19:30,435
Not everyone else is saying what perhaps
Ridge Holland is telling himself.

372
00:19:30,502 --> 00:19:35,240
And the power of self-talk,
the power of self-talk can destroy you

373
00:19:35,307 --> 00:19:36,909
from the inside out if you let it.

374
00:19:36,975 --> 00:19:39,611
[Vic] Ridge Holland has already
eliminated Wolfgang.

375
00:19:39,678 --> 00:19:42,781
He's right now going one-on-one,
toe-to-toe with Mark Coffey.

376
00:19:42,848 --> 00:19:47,553
If he's able to defeat Mark Coffey,
he will then face Joe Coffey

377
00:19:47,619 --> 00:19:49,488
to try to knock out all three members,

378
00:19:49,555 --> 00:19:53,825
which is what his goal has been for weeks
and a big headbutt under the jaw.

379
00:19:53,892 --> 00:19:55,928
Mark Coffey, how the hell is he standing?

380
00:19:56,962 --> 00:20:00,098
Just gets caught and a big
overhead belly-to-belly.

381
00:20:00,165 --> 00:20:01,600
[Byron] Not standing for long.

382
00:20:01,667 --> 00:20:05,671
It would be an amazing accomplishment
for Ridge Holland to pull this off.

-[Vic] On one leg.

384

00:20:11,376 --> 00:20:13,212
But here comes Mark Coffey one more time.

386
00:20:13,278 --> 00:20:14,746
Charging in, gets caught.

387
00:20:14,813 --> 00:20:19,117
Spinebuster, modified version,
because Ridge couldn't go down all the way

388
00:20:19,184 --> 00:20:21,620
because of the injury to that left knee,

389
00:20:21,687 --> 00:20:23,922
but somehow, bam, another [inaudible]

390
00:20:23,989 --> 00:20:26,892
into another cover
to put away Mark Coffey!

391
00:20:26,959 --> 00:20:29,561
-Bring in! Bring in!
-What are you doing?

392

[Byron] Coffey can hold on
That's gotta be impressive.

395
00:20:39,037 --> 00:20:42,274
-Joe Coffey interfering in this matchup.
-[Byron] Is that it?

396
00:20:42,341 --> 00:20:44,977
[Vic] Yeah, well Joe Coffey stuck
his nose where it didn't belong

397
00:20:45,043 --> 00:20:46,712
and now it's a three-on-one assault.

398
00:20:46,778 --> 00:20:48,747
-Wolfgang's got a damn chair!
-[audience booing]

399
00:20:50,449 --> 00:20:53,619
[Byron] Ridge Holland is well on his way
for scoring another victory

400
00:20:53,685 --> 00:20:55,754
and it all breaks down
and now it's reminiscent

401
00:20:55,821 --> 00:20:57,422
of what happened a couple weeks ago.

402
00:20:57,489 --> 00:20:59,725
[Vic] And I don't blame the officials
for running away.

403
00:21:00,225 --> 00:21:02,060
-[Byron] What are you going to do?
-[Vic] You can't do anything.

404

-[Byron] Who's going to stop Gallus?
-[Vic] Ridge Holland!

[Vic] Byron, look up.

413
00:21:36,461 --> 00:21:41,566
Has Ridge Holland single-handedly
sidelined three of the baddest in NXT?

414
00:21:41,633 --> 00:21:44,770
And with his past,
does Holland need to come to grips

415
00:21:44,836 --> 00:21:48,040
with something deeper
that he even doesn't see?

Mr. Stone, you have got to be sick

The truth hurts.

and better things to do tonight.

Mr. Stone, I just know
your little boys are desperate

428
00:22:27,279 --> 00:22:31,016
to look up to a role model,
a winner, and a star such as myself.

which was already executed by Lola Vice,

479

who would get hit with Pop Rox.

00:25:45,977 --> 00:25:48,179
[Byron] I'm sure Tatum Paxley is thinking

492
00:25:48,246 --> 00:25:51,283
right now about Brittany Mahomes' outfit
last Sunday,

493
00:25:51,349 --> 00:25:52,651
the red jumpsuit, the fur coat.

494
00:25:52,717 --> 00:25:55,053
I don't know what she's thinking.
I have no clue, do you?

495
00:25:55,120 --> 00:25:56,955
[Vic] I don't know, but I do know
that was a nice counter,

496
00:25:57,022 --> 00:25:58,757
so maybe a better question
is what's going through the mind

497
00:25:58,823 --> 00:26:02,494
of our NXT Women's Champion
at being Lyra Valkyria, shoulders down,

498
00:26:02,561 --> 00:26:04,596
and a quick kick out
right into a submission!

499
00:26:04,663 --> 00:26:07,599
Goes Lola Vice, nice counter into a cover,

500
00:26:07,666 --> 00:26:10,735
and having to relinquish
the hold is Lola Vice.

501
00:26:10,802 --> 00:26:12,404
[Byron] Boy, if I'm Lyra Valkyria,

502
00:26:12,470 --> 00:26:16,107
I think I'm a little torn right now
with this "friendship,"

503
00:26:16,174 --> 00:26:18,543
[Vic] Or "friend,"
and another cover and a kick out.

504
00:26:18,610 --> 00:26:20,712
[Byron] If we can call it that
with Tatum Paxley,

505
00:26:20,779 --> 00:26:22,814
Tatum's got good intentions.

506
00:26:22,881 --> 00:26:26,084
She's trying to prove her loyalty,
trying to protect Lyra Valkyria,

507
00:26:26,151 --> 00:26:29,354
but at the same time,
Tatum has become a liability at times.

508
00:26:29,421 --> 00:26:30,722
[Vic] You also have to imagine, too,

509
00:26:30,789 --> 00:26:33,358
bringing that contract out
right in front of Lola Vice.

510
00:26:33,425 --> 00:26:36,394
Vice has to see red
when she sees that contract

511
00:26:36,461 --> 00:26:40,332
that she once held after
that failed execution at Vengeance Day,

512
00:26:40,398 --> 00:26:43,335
so that brings me to this matchup
as Vice into another cover,

513
00:26:43,401 --> 00:26:45,270
another hook and a leg, another kick out.

514
00:26:45,337 --> 00:26:48,273
How important is this matchup for Lola?

515
00:26:48,340 --> 00:26:50,275
[Byron] This is your get-right match
for Lola Vice.

516
00:26:50,809 --> 00:26:52,744
Falling short in her attempt
to execute the contract

517
00:26:52,811 --> 00:26:54,546
as you mentioned at Vengeance Day,

518
00:26:54,612 --> 00:26:56,414
losing to Roxanne Perez last week.

519
00:26:56,481 --> 00:26:58,750
Lola Vice had all the momentum
in the world,

520
00:26:58,817 --> 00:27:01,753
but as quickly as you have momentum,
momentum can disappear.

521
00:27:01,820 --> 00:27:05,557
-You have to grab it back tonight.
-[audience cheering]

522
00:27:05,624 --> 00:27:08,159
[Vic] Trying to create a little separation
as Paxley, but look at Lola Vice,

523
00:27:08,226 --> 00:27:09,861
wise of that MMA background again,

524
00:27:09,928 --> 00:27:11,730
just pulling her opponent
right back into it,

525
00:27:11,796 --> 00:27:15,767
and then another knee right to the ribs
for Lola Vice.

526
00:27:15,834 --> 00:27:19,371
[Byron] Did you know that Lola Vice' mom
was actually pursuing her black belt

527
00:27:19,437 --> 00:27:21,806
while she was pregnant
with Lola in the ring?

528
00:27:21,873 --> 00:27:25,410
[Vic] I do know that we're three seconds
away from a victory for Paxley.

529
00:27:25,477 --> 00:27:27,512
[Byron] The point is she was bred
to be a fighter.

530
00:27:27,579 --> 00:27:29,714
This is all Lola Vice knows.

531
00:27:29,781 --> 00:27:32,484
[Vic] Well, the official right there,
and Lola's got to be careful

532
00:27:32,550 --> 00:27:35,320
not to get disqualified
in the heat of the moment,

533
00:27:35,920 --> 00:27:39,090
and there is some chirping
that Lola Vice has been the same

534
00:27:39,157 --> 00:27:42,394
and that she's struggling with power.
Elektra Lopez,

535
00:27:42,460 --> 00:27:45,397
but NXT Women's Champion, Lyra Valkyria,

536
00:27:45,463 --> 00:27:48,566
now out here ringside
to support her friend.

537
00:27:48,633 --> 00:27:51,436
[Byron] This is unexpected,
but I appreciate it.

538
00:27:51,903 --> 00:27:52,904
[Vic] Paxley rolling right up.

539
00:27:52,971 --> 00:27:55,573
Swing and a miss by Vice,
but Paxley connects,

540
00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:58,209
and Tatum now stringing
together some offense.

541
00:27:58,677 --> 00:28:01,413
[Byron] Maybe now Lyra Valkyria's
presence at ringside

542
00:28:01,479 --> 00:28:04,215
is providing some motivation
for Tatum Paxley.

543
00:28:04,282 --> 00:28:06,217
[Vic] Oh, Vinc, agree, I go back also,

544
00:28:06,284 --> 00:28:08,553
as now Paxley realizing
who's here ringside.

545
00:28:08,620 --> 00:28:11,456
Maybe Tatum is a little bit delusional
trying to execute that contract.

546
00:28:11,523 --> 00:28:14,092
One, it wasn't hers, and two,
it was already used,

547
00:28:14,159 --> 00:28:16,494
and she's able to duck a kick
as Paxley rolled through.

548
00:28:16,561 --> 00:28:19,597
Shoulders down one more time.
Another near-fall.

549
00:28:19,664 --> 00:28:21,332
-[Byron] Tatum now-- Ooh!
-[Vic] Ooh!

550
00:28:21,399 --> 00:28:23,535
[Byron] Ouch! Ouch, ouch, ouch.

551
00:28:23,601 --> 00:28:27,005
[Vic] Into another cover,
and is that the knockout blow?

552
00:28:27,072 --> 00:28:30,408
Somehow, I know you see Valkyria
giving words of encouragement.

553
00:28:31,476 --> 00:28:33,645
One, two…

554
00:28:33,712 --> 00:28:36,414
To her, I'll just say
words of encouragement to Tatum.

555
00:28:36,481 --> 00:28:39,517
Paxley and a back-fist
right under the jaw.

556
00:28:39,584 --> 00:28:41,486
-Is that going to be enough?
-One, two!

557
00:28:41,953 --> 00:28:44,723
[audience cheering]

558
00:28:44,789 --> 00:28:47,459
[referee] The hair, Lola.
Get the hell out of the hair.

559
00:28:47,525 --> 00:28:50,428
One, two!

560
00:28:50,495 --> 00:28:52,931
[Byron] As motivating as Lyra Valkyria
is for Tatum Paxley,

561
00:28:52,997 --> 00:28:55,066
it's motivating Lola Vice even more.

562
00:28:55,133 --> 00:28:57,335
[Vic] Into another cover,
and you've got to wonder right now is--

563
00:28:58,269 --> 00:28:59,838
Paxley gets her foot on the rope.

564
00:28:59,904 --> 00:29:02,607
Lyra Valkyria has been in the ring
with Lola Vice.

565
00:29:02,674 --> 00:29:05,944
She may be just saying, stay down,
live to fight another day.

566
00:29:06,010 --> 00:29:07,712
[Byron] Right now, Tatum Paxley
doesn't know any better.

567
00:29:07,779 --> 00:29:08,947
[Vic] Did you see Paxley's eyes?

568
00:29:09,013 --> 00:29:11,216
They almost look like they're long
in the back of her head.

569
00:29:11,282 --> 00:29:12,884
Another submission locked in.

570
00:29:13,618 --> 00:29:15,887
Going to the body
with the elbows is Lola Vice.

571
00:29:15,954 --> 00:29:21,726
Almost a vice grip of sorts,
just squeezing away on Tatum Paxley.

572
00:29:22,293 --> 00:29:24,496
Paxley's so close, but faded.

573
00:29:25,396 --> 00:29:27,365
[Byron] I don't think
she's going to make it, Vic.

["Te Lo Rompo" playing]

576
00:29:33,505 --> 00:29:36,608
[Alicia]
Here is your winner, by submission,

577
00:29:37,442 --> 00:29:39,477
Lola Vice.

578
00:29:40,979 --> 00:29:44,682
[Vic] And there you see Lyra Valkyria
with Tatum Paxley,

579
00:29:44,749 --> 00:29:46,885
and she's doing what is right,
friend or not.

580
00:29:46,951 --> 00:29:50,221
She tried to help out the best she could.

581
00:29:50,288 --> 00:29:52,357
Paxley maybe didn't listen to Lyra
at the end,

582
00:29:52,423 --> 00:29:55,760
but for Lola,
she gets some momentum back in NXT.

583
00:29:58,163 --> 00:30:01,099
There's a fine line between anarchy
and justice.

584
00:30:01,966 --> 00:30:03,635
I live on that edge.

585
00:30:03,701 --> 00:30:06,671
You were pressured into this match.
You're The Don of NXT.

586
00:30:06,738 --> 00:30:11,009
Hell, you're the tag team champions.
No one should tell you what to do.

Good luck tonight, sir.

589
00:30:20,718 --> 00:30:21,820
All right.

590
00:30:23,688 --> 00:30:26,024
Listen, Stacks,
we got a big night tonight.

591
00:30:26,090 --> 00:30:27,258
-All right.
-All right, guys.

592
00:30:28,493 --> 00:30:30,595
Adriana, you got things covered tonight?

593
00:30:31,129 --> 00:30:34,399
Say to Parker, she hits different.
You know what I'm talking about.

594
00:30:34,465 --> 00:30:36,634
At Vengeance Day, I got a taste.

595
00:30:36,701 --> 00:30:39,370
But tonight, I'm coming for the full meal.

596
00:30:39,437 --> 00:30:41,840
-No fear tonight, boys.
-All right, that's the thing.

597
00:30:42,373 --> 00:30:43,374
No fear, Stacks.

598
00:30:43,441 --> 00:30:46,678
Hey, listen, Miss Parker doesn't know
what's about to smack her in the face

599
00:30:46,744 --> 00:30:47,779
like Joey D'Agostino.

600
00:30:47,846 --> 00:30:49,514
Hey, Joey Dags was a punk.

601
00:30:50,415 --> 00:30:53,618
All right, guys, I gotta go.
Ava said to stay here.

602

Hey, move.

She's fired up. I like it.

604
00:30:59,591 --> 00:31:02,694
Listen, Stacks, tonight,
we got Baron and Bron, all right?

605
00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:05,964
They might seem like a circus act
outside the ring, but in the ring,

606
00:31:06,564 --> 00:31:07,665
they destroy us.

607
00:31:07,732 --> 00:31:10,168
So tonight, no guessing, no doubting.

608
00:31:10,235 --> 00:31:12,503
We're cracking skulls first
and asking questions later.

609
00:31:13,071 --> 00:31:14,305
It's Stand & Deliver season.

-Capisce.

[Vic] Rizzo, Parker. Next.

00:31:25,516 --> 00:31:28,019
-You two are closer than I thought.
-Shotzi.

613
00:31:29,187 --> 00:31:31,256
-She had a rough one out there.
-I saw.

614
00:31:31,789 --> 00:31:35,393
Look, you've got your hands full,
but I want to add to it.

615
00:31:36,060 --> 00:31:37,762
We can go back and forth on social media,

616
00:31:37,829 --> 00:31:42,166
or we can chop this up right now,
face-to-face.

617
00:31:42,233 --> 00:31:46,237
Okay, good. I like my interactions
face-to-face, straight to the point.

You want a title shot?
You got it. It's done.

619
00:31:49,073 --> 00:31:52,010
Oh, great. Well, then this should
be easy to put together.

620
00:31:52,076 --> 00:31:54,913
After I take care of Tatum,
I'll go speak to Ava.

621
00:31:54,979 --> 00:31:59,350
Already handled, champ. All Ava needed
from you was the green light.

622
00:31:59,417 --> 00:32:00,985
Okay. Done. I'll see you next week.

623
00:32:01,052 --> 00:32:03,221
Oh, next week.

624
00:32:03,721 --> 00:32:10,261
Even better, because I want to walk
into Chamber as NXT Women's Champion.

-You got balls, Shotzi.
-Big ones.

626
00:32:14,332 --> 00:32:17,001

Elimination Chamber empty-handed.

00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:38,383
including who I was calling
that night with Wade Barrett,

656
00:33:38,449 --> 00:33:41,953
that OTM was in control of that matchup.

657
00:33:42,020 --> 00:33:43,955
[Byron] OTM was in control
of that matchup,

658
00:33:44,022 --> 00:33:47,225
and that's got to irk the entire faction
of OTM.

659
00:33:47,291 --> 00:33:51,796
In this case, Jaida Parker understanding
she's got to get a little something extra.

660
00:33:51,863 --> 00:33:55,700
She's got to get some redemption on behalf
of OTM, getting her hands on Rizzo.

661
00:33:55,767 --> 00:33:58,102
[Vic] We're talking about Ava
a few times tonight.

662
00:33:58,169 --> 00:34:00,938
She made this matchup last week
after meeting Parker,

663
00:34:01,005 --> 00:34:03,274
and a dropkick just slotted to the side.

664
00:34:03,341 --> 00:34:06,277
What grade do you give Byron, the youngest
general manager in WWE history?

665
00:34:06,344 --> 00:34:09,347
[Byron] Considering she's probably
watching right now, I'd say A+.

666
00:34:09,414 --> 00:34:12,116
But seriously, you think
of everything Ava's had to manage.

667
00:34:12,183 --> 00:34:16,020
The Dijak-Joe Gacy situation,
The Family, OTM.

668
00:34:16,087 --> 00:34:18,956
There's never a dull moment
in Ava's office, and it gets busier

669
00:34:19,023 --> 00:34:21,726
and more hectic and more chaotic weekly.

670
00:34:21,793 --> 00:34:24,495
[audience chanting]

671
00:34:24,562 --> 00:34:28,299
[Vic] NXT Universe now voicing
to both these women the respect they got.

672
00:34:28,366 --> 00:34:30,568
Oh!

673
00:34:30,635 --> 00:34:32,003
[Rizzo] That's all you get?

674
00:34:32,069 --> 00:34:35,006
And this rivalry has escalated quickly

675
00:34:35,072 --> 00:34:38,443
over the last several weeks, and Byron,
it's hard to argue that Rizzo

676
00:34:38,509 --> 00:34:42,280
hasn't raised the profile
and the business dealings for The Family.

677
00:34:43,214 --> 00:34:45,183
And it could be a good night
for The Family too.

678
00:34:45,983 --> 00:34:50,254
[Byron] Rizzo has a reputation for being
fearless, willing to do the dirty work,

679
00:34:50,321 --> 00:34:52,557
willing to collect when she needs to.

680
00:34:53,224 --> 00:34:56,360
[Vic] Nice suplex, Rizzo
looking for her first solo victory

681
00:34:56,427 --> 00:34:59,330
into the cover, and a quick kick out
by Jaida Parker.

682
00:34:59,397 --> 00:35:02,667
Also, you gotta think too,
Chase U received a heavy envelope

683
00:35:02,733 --> 00:35:05,970
-receiving heavy envelope from Chase U.
-[Byron] That's what I'm saying.

684
00:35:06,037 --> 00:35:07,772
[Byron] Who's the collector? Who's Rizzo?

685
00:35:07,839 --> 00:35:09,907
[Vic] You're bringing up the great points
here tonight, Byron,

686
00:35:09,974 --> 00:35:12,110
but also we're talking about Rizzo,
not someone who's just the brains

687
00:35:12,176 --> 00:35:16,614
five times All-American track and field
at UNC has an athletic background,

688
00:35:16,681 --> 00:35:19,350
but that's not gonna help you
when you're in the ring

689
00:35:19,417 --> 00:35:23,020
with someone as real as it gets,
Jaida Parker!

690
00:35:23,855 --> 00:35:26,157
[Byron] The first half
was a disciplined job,

691
00:35:26,224 --> 00:35:29,093
we'll call the second half
the posterior bump.

692
00:35:29,760 --> 00:35:34,365
[Vic] That one into the cover,
I'll let you know. There you go, Byron.

693
00:35:34,432 --> 00:35:38,636
[Byron] Posterior bump!
Right to the abdomen of Rizzo.

694
00:35:38,703 --> 00:35:42,173
[Vic] I can imagine Booker T just threw
something at his television, obviously.

695
00:35:42,240 --> 00:35:43,274
[Byron] Booker [inaudible].

696
00:35:44,142 --> 00:35:45,543
[Vic] As we mentioned with Jaida Parker,

697
00:35:45,610 --> 00:35:50,081
her motto is you're going to get
the version of her that you deserve.

698
00:35:50,147 --> 00:35:52,750
And right now, oh, from behind goes Rizzo
and a kick out.

699
00:35:54,051 --> 00:35:55,820
Parker's all business inside the ring.

700
00:35:55,887 --> 00:35:58,156
She is not someone
who backs down in the ring,

701
00:35:58,222 --> 00:35:59,957
on the streets, wherever it may be.

702
00:36:00,024 --> 00:36:03,327
And how has Parker
made OTM more dangerous?

703
00:36:03,895 --> 00:36:05,763
[Byron] Jaida Parker's allowed OTM.

704
00:36:05,830 --> 00:36:08,533
[Vic] Another suplex into a cover in her
own right, and a kick out.

705
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:12,136
[Byron] To be more efficient,
to get things done the right way.

706
00:36:12,203 --> 00:36:15,406
You mentioned Rizzo raising
the profile of the family.

707
00:36:15,473 --> 00:36:19,110
Jaida Parker has the potential
at ground level

708
00:36:19,176 --> 00:36:20,978
to raise the profile of OTM.

709
00:36:21,045 --> 00:36:24,015
You think about great managers
like a "Sensational Sherri,"

710
00:36:24,081 --> 00:36:26,384
and what she did for one
of the greatest tag teams of all time,

711
00:36:26,450 --> 00:36:28,019
Harlem Heat, Ray and Booker.

712
00:36:28,085 --> 00:36:29,187
By the way, I'm redeemed now.

713
00:36:29,253 --> 00:36:31,389
But you think about
what she did for their careers,

714
00:36:31,455 --> 00:36:34,025
and now the potential is there
for Bronco Nima, Lucien Price,

715
00:36:34,091 --> 00:36:36,460
and SCRYPTS, with Jaida Parker in the mix.

716
00:36:36,527 --> 00:36:39,263
[Vic] Well, inside cradle this time
by Rizzo. Will it be enough?

717
00:36:39,330 --> 00:36:43,634
And Parker again, able to kick out,
and these two are bringing it tonight.

718
00:36:43,701 --> 00:36:46,737
And, Byron, as you look at this,
this really is a case of two women

719
00:36:46,804 --> 00:36:50,808
trying to make their mark
quickly and early in their careers.

720
00:36:50,875 --> 00:36:54,045
[Byron] I've seen this so many times.
I've seen it from day one here in NXT.

721
00:36:54,111 --> 00:36:56,514
I saw it with The Four Horsewomen
when they were around these parts.

722
00:36:56,581 --> 00:36:58,549
I saw it with the likes
of Charlotte Flair,

723
00:36:58,616 --> 00:37:01,252
the Becky Lynch's, the self-doubt,
the folks on the road,

724
00:37:01,319 --> 00:37:04,789
but the constant pressure
to get better every time you come out

725
00:37:04,855 --> 00:37:07,525
to impress the coaches,
impress the decision-makers,

726
00:37:07,592 --> 00:37:12,063
and hopefully, one day make it
to the grand stage of a WrestleMania.

727
00:37:12,129 --> 00:37:13,931
[Vic] And this is where
the foundation is laid,

728
00:37:13,998 --> 00:37:17,735
to your point, Byron, but look at Parker.
Catch it and then planting.

729
00:37:18,669 --> 00:37:23,374
Spine-tingling, spinebuster
as Parker right back in,

730
00:37:23,441 --> 00:37:25,910
and a big blow
right to the back of the neck.

731
00:37:25,977 --> 00:37:29,614
Shoots the half,
hooks the leg, and a kick out by Rizzo.

732
00:37:31,949 --> 00:37:33,751
[Byron] Jaida Parker looks.
Parker's not happy.

733
00:37:33,818 --> 00:37:36,153
She looks a little taken aback
that Rizzo's still in this.

734
00:37:36,721 --> 00:37:39,624
[Vic] Almost was as if
it wasn't even frustration.

735
00:37:39,690 --> 00:37:42,593
She almost took it
as disrespect that Rizzo kicked out.

736

-Come on! Come on!
-[audience chanting]

737
00:37:46,163 --> 00:37:50,534

And that's exactly what Parker did.

But Parker went to Ava for this match.

745
00:38:11,889 --> 00:38:15,826
She was granted the match,
and as bad as she wants to be,

746
00:38:15,893 --> 00:38:17,795
Parker just hits different.

747
00:38:22,133 --> 00:38:27,305
I learned what it takes beat Joe Gacy
and what it takes to break him in.

He thinks he's unbreakable.

-[Byron] That's the fun part of it.

817
00:42:02,286 --> 00:42:04,622
-[Byron] Everything about Joe Gacy.
-[Vic] Like a fun house. Yeah.

818
00:42:04,688 --> 00:42:07,925
[Byron] He's weird. He's erratic.
I'm a big haunted house guy, right?

819
00:42:07,992 --> 00:42:11,762
And I swear
Joe Gacy is one of those scare actors

820
00:42:11,829 --> 00:42:15,099
that you see in the haunted house chasing
around with a chainsaw.

821
00:42:16,033 --> 00:42:18,102
Saliva coming down his mouth.

822
00:42:18,168 --> 00:42:22,439
Going nuts. A little kooky.
A little crazy. Keeps you on edge.

823
00:42:22,506 --> 00:42:23,374
But that's the fun part,

824
00:42:23,440 --> 00:42:26,377
because you don't know
what Joe Gacy is going to do next.

825
00:42:26,443 --> 00:42:27,945
Just don't come around here.

826
00:42:28,579 --> 00:42:30,981
[Vic] In the seven years
I've known you on commentary,

827
00:42:31,048 --> 00:42:32,983
that's the most excited
I've ever heard you sound.

828
00:42:33,050 --> 00:42:35,653
-[Byron] It's the little things.
-[Vic] About Joe Gacy in a haunted house

829
00:42:35,719 --> 00:42:37,488
and being mysterious and spooky.

830
00:42:37,555 --> 00:42:39,490
[Byron] I can see this dude
at Sir Henry's Haunted Trail.

831
00:42:40,257 --> 00:42:41,191
[Vic] What?

832
00:42:41,258 --> 00:42:42,526
[Byron] I'll tell you about it later.

833
00:42:42,593 --> 00:42:46,230
[Vic] Carmelo Hayes starting off
where he left off last week.

834
00:42:46,297 --> 00:42:48,432
And it was last week
we couldn't even leave the desk

835
00:42:48,499 --> 00:42:50,935
due to Hayes' assault on Joe Gacy.

836
00:42:51,001 --> 00:42:54,605
[audience chanting]
You sold out! You sold out! You sold out!

837
00:42:55,139 --> 00:42:57,741
[Vic] I think Carmelo Hayes
has a different viewpoint

838
00:42:57,808 --> 00:43:01,145
than the NXT Universe, as now Gacy
turning things around in this matchup.

839
00:43:01,211 --> 00:43:03,147
Will Hayes regret his actions?

840
00:43:03,914 --> 00:43:07,217
[Byron] I'm not sure if Carmelo Hayes
will ever regret what he's done.

841
00:43:07,284 --> 00:43:09,920
Because what we saw from Carmelo Hayes

842
00:43:09,987 --> 00:43:12,790
clearly has been festering
for who knows how long.

843
00:43:12,856 --> 00:43:15,793
What we are seeing
is the real Carmelo Hayes.

844
00:43:15,859 --> 00:43:16,694
[Vic] What are we seeing?

845
00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:19,296
Joe Gacy just smiled
after getting his face smashed in

846
00:43:19,363 --> 00:43:22,433
and turned it around into a suplex,
followed by a float-over,

847
00:43:22,499 --> 00:43:23,934
kick out by Carmelo Hayes.

848
00:43:24,001 --> 00:43:25,636
So if you were Joe Gacy

849
00:43:26,403 --> 00:43:28,172
[audience chanting] Let's go, Gacy!

850
00:43:28,238 --> 00:43:31,108
[Vic] And the NXT Universe
is fired up here tonight.

851
00:43:31,175 --> 00:43:34,878
But if you were Joe Gacy,
how would you be planning your revenge?

852
00:43:34,945 --> 00:43:36,213
I'm interested to hear this.

853
00:43:36,280 --> 00:43:38,349
[Byron] Well,
you saw some of that planning.

854
00:43:38,415 --> 00:43:40,050
Maybe it started last week.

855
00:43:40,117 --> 00:43:42,953
Was he walking around
with a epoxy globe on a stick?

856
00:43:44,221 --> 00:43:46,323
I don't understand the strategy
of Joe Gacy.

857
00:43:46,390 --> 00:43:48,759
I would imagine he wants to win,
but at the same time,

858
00:43:48,826 --> 00:43:50,227
maybe he's a bit of a masochist.

859
00:43:50,294 --> 00:43:51,595
Maybe he wants to get hurt.

860
00:43:51,662 --> 00:43:53,330
Maybe he wants Carmelo Hayes
to punish him.

861
00:43:53,397 --> 00:43:55,132
That's how out there Joe Gacy is.

862
00:43:55,199 --> 00:43:56,500
But it's still fun to watch.

863
00:43:56,567 --> 00:43:58,869
[Vic] I'm just listening
to the NXT universe too, Byron.

864
00:43:58,936 --> 00:44:01,338
As you were talking
and they are almost at a fever pitch

865
00:44:01,405 --> 00:44:02,673
for both these superstars.

866
00:44:02,740 --> 00:44:08,178
But there is textbook Carmelo Hayes
flying with ease through the air.

867
00:44:08,245 --> 00:44:10,848
[audience booing]

868
00:44:10,914 --> 00:44:15,853
And the NXT universe, which used to love
to see it hates to view it now.

869
00:44:15,919 --> 00:44:18,789
But we're gonna take a look
at it one more time.

870
00:44:19,990 --> 00:44:22,526
[Byron] You know what surprises me
about Carmelo Hayes?

871
00:44:22,593 --> 00:44:26,663
With someone as talented
and as gifted as Carmelo,

872
00:44:27,297 --> 00:44:32,002
what his actions have shown me
is how insecure Carmelo Hayes is.

873
00:44:32,736 --> 00:44:35,406
-[Vic] I mean, you're not lying there.
-[Byron] Of course, I'm not lying.

874
00:44:35,472 --> 00:44:37,741
[Vic] Joe Gacy turning things around
in this moment.

875
00:44:37,808 --> 00:44:40,077
-[audience cheering]
-[referee] Two, three!

876
00:44:40,144 --> 00:44:41,712
[Vic] Just going to town.

877
00:44:41,779 --> 00:44:43,380
[Byron] Whatever [inaudible], Carmelo.

878
00:44:43,447 --> 00:44:46,183
[Vic] Look, Joe Gacy seemed
to be lost at one point,

879
00:44:46,250 --> 00:44:48,519
but now appears to have found his way.

880
00:44:48,585 --> 00:44:51,388
And however you want to make
that make sense in your own mind.

881
00:44:51,455 --> 00:44:53,757
[Byron] I think he's still lost.
He just enjoys being lost.

882
00:44:53,824 --> 00:44:58,062
[Vic] Senton crashing down.
Gacy into the cover.

883
00:44:58,128 --> 00:45:00,431
And a kick out by Carmelo Hayes.

884
00:45:00,497 --> 00:45:03,367
[Byron] Like Joe Gacy's the hitchhiker
that doesn't want to be picked up.

885
00:45:03,434 --> 00:45:06,437
[Vic] Why are you staying on these scary
movie references in this matchup?

886
00:45:06,503 --> 00:45:08,205
You're starting to freak me out
a little bit.

887
00:45:08,272 --> 00:45:10,674
[Byron] You need to hang out with me more.

888
00:45:10,741 --> 00:45:12,476
-[Vic] Absolutely not.
-With me and you.

889
00:45:12,543 --> 00:45:14,945
[Vic] Nobody wants to do that.

890
00:45:15,012 --> 00:45:17,681
And Joe Gacy right now
in control of this match.

891
00:45:17,748 --> 00:45:19,950
And when you think of Joe Gacy,
Joe Gacy's part of the locker room.

892
00:45:20,017 --> 00:45:23,120
How do you think Hayes is now
viewed in the locker room?

893
00:45:23,187 --> 00:45:25,823
You've been in the FCW locker room,
ECW locker room,

894
00:45:25,889 --> 00:45:29,159
RAW, SmackDown, the list goes on.
How would you view Carmelo Hayes?

895
00:45:29,226 --> 00:45:30,594
[Byron] I would give you a direct quote.

896
00:45:30,661 --> 00:45:31,962
As a matter of fact,

897
00:45:32,029 --> 00:45:35,799
someone I was talking to earlier on today
in that NXT locker room,

898
00:45:35,866 --> 00:45:39,970
they said to me, if I had the chance,
I would punch Carmelo Hayes

899
00:45:40,037 --> 00:45:42,206
in the mouth and break his jaw

900
00:45:42,272 --> 00:45:44,942
so he can no longer spew
the junk he's been spewing.

901
00:45:45,008 --> 00:45:48,412
So that gives you an idea
about what some of the superstars,

902
00:45:48,479 --> 00:45:50,514
some of the competitors
in that locker room are saying

903
00:45:50,581 --> 00:45:54,318
about Carmelo Hayes
and their attitude about Hayes these days.

904
00:45:54,384 --> 00:45:56,186
[Vic] We gotta take Joe Gacy
into another cover

905
00:45:56,253 --> 00:45:58,155
and getting a left shoulder up with Hayes.

906
00:45:58,222 --> 00:46:00,324
You know, Joe Gacy's
getting the first shot,

907
00:46:00,390 --> 00:46:03,227
so to speak,
to punch Carmelo in the mouth.

908
00:46:03,293 --> 00:46:06,163
Devastating backbreaker
into another cover,

909
00:46:06,230 --> 00:46:09,466
another hook to the leg,
and Carmelo Hayes able to kick out.

910
00:46:09,533 --> 00:46:13,137
[Byron] And that means you have
an entire locker room of superstars

911
00:46:13,203 --> 00:46:14,805
locked into this match,

912
00:46:14,872 --> 00:46:17,708
watching to see
what Joe Gacy does to Carmelo Hayes

913
00:46:17,775 --> 00:46:23,113
and hoping, hoping that Carmelo Hayes
fails against Joe Gacy.

914
00:46:23,180 --> 00:46:26,083
[Vic] And I just go back and talk about
failing the plan that he failed last week,

915
00:46:26,150 --> 00:46:28,619
because why would you attack
a superstar like Joe Gacy?

916
00:46:28,685 --> 00:46:32,723
Think about what he did
at Vengeance Day to Dijak.

917
00:46:32,790 --> 00:46:34,258
[Byron] It's the same reason
Carmelo Hayes,

918
00:46:34,324 --> 00:46:36,193
similar to why he attacked Trick Williams.

919
00:46:36,260 --> 00:46:38,295
He felt like Williams
was taking his spotlight.

920
00:46:38,362 --> 00:46:42,933
In that moment, Carmelo Hayes believed
that Joe Gacy was taking his spotlight.

921
00:46:44,101 --> 00:46:45,402
[Vic] Gacy charged right in.

922
00:46:45,469 --> 00:46:47,104
Nice trip though by Carmelo,
and Hayes now on top.

923
00:46:47,171 --> 00:46:51,375
And there's Hayes, who seems to be done
playing games in this matchup.

924
00:46:51,441 --> 00:46:57,181
Frustration, bubbling, boiling out
of Hayes in this moment, on this night,

925
00:46:57,247 --> 00:47:01,318
and he just has to be listening
to the fans right now, here at NXT.

926
00:47:01,952 --> 00:47:04,621
Did he think that the fans were going to
come along with him for the ride?

927
00:47:04,688 --> 00:47:05,656
[Vic] Absolutely not!

928
00:47:05,722 --> 00:47:07,191
[Byron] It would've been silly
to think that.

929
00:47:07,257 --> 00:47:08,158
Carmelo Hayes feels--

930
00:47:08,225 --> 00:47:10,761
This is what I gotta do!
They want to play with me.

931
00:47:10,828 --> 00:47:12,296
They wanna disrespect me.

932
00:47:12,362 --> 00:47:13,397
-One.
-You--

933
00:47:13,463 --> 00:47:16,166
It's time Melo. Two. Drop the hair.

934
00:47:16,233 --> 00:47:18,569
[Vic] Gacy still with that sinister smile.

935
00:47:18,635 --> 00:47:20,470
-[Byron] How unnerving is that?
-[Vic] Hey, wait.

936
00:47:21,939 --> 00:47:27,678
[Vic] Well, Carmelo Hayes not gonna find
what he's looking for, so to speak.

937
00:47:28,712 --> 00:47:29,680
Whoa!

938
00:47:30,714 --> 00:47:33,150
-[Vic] He jumped back four feet.
-[Byron] I got you, Vic.

939
00:47:33,750 --> 00:47:35,552
[referee] Two!

940
00:47:35,619 --> 00:47:37,788
-[Vic] Again.
-[Byron] I'm not sure Carmelo has this.

941
00:47:37,855 --> 00:47:40,891
[Vic] Hayes not gonna find
what he's looking for.

942
00:47:40,958 --> 00:47:43,427
-[Vic] Incoming!
-[Byron] Found him!

943
00:47:44,428 --> 00:47:46,363
[Vic] Joe Gacy in control!

944
00:47:46,430 --> 00:47:51,235
Can Gacy knock out
Carmelo Hayes here on NXT?

945
00:47:55,939 --> 00:48:00,310
[Vic] Back on NXT, and Carmelo Hayes
has turned things around in this matchup.

946
00:48:00,377 --> 00:48:03,013
He has been punishing Joe Gacy

947
00:48:03,080 --> 00:48:05,249
for the last several moments
in this matchup.

948
00:48:05,315 --> 00:48:08,151
Let's go back to what happened
during the commercial break.

949
00:48:08,218 --> 00:48:12,756
Really, this is the turning point
as Carmelo Hayes saw a small opening,

950
00:48:12,823 --> 00:48:16,360
took full advantage of it, and I wanna
talk about my broadcast partner,

951
00:48:16,426 --> 00:48:18,161
Booker T, who's still recovering.

952
00:48:18,228 --> 00:48:21,265
He recently said that Carmelo Hayes
has thin skin,

953
00:48:21,331 --> 00:48:23,400
after what Hayes had to say
about Booker last week.

954
00:48:23,467 --> 00:48:25,402
So, Byron, why turn your back

955
00:48:25,469 --> 00:48:28,972
on all those that have supported you
to get you where you're at?

956
00:48:29,039 --> 00:48:31,108
[Byron] It's the lure of success.

957
00:48:31,174 --> 00:48:34,778
That success has become an idol
for Carmelo Hayes.

958
00:48:34,845 --> 00:48:38,315
It trumps relationships.
It trumps mentors like Booker T.

959
00:48:38,382 --> 00:48:41,952
It trumps anyone who had your back
because it's all about Carmelo Hayes

960
00:48:42,019 --> 00:48:45,222
and he will stab anyone in the back
right now to get ahead.

961
00:48:46,657 --> 00:48:48,392
[Vic] Hayes back into the ring,
charging right in,

962
00:48:48,458 --> 00:48:52,229
and Joe Gacy turning things around
and Gacy, much like the locker room,

963
00:48:52,296 --> 00:48:53,630
has heard from Carmelo Hayes.

964
00:48:53,697 --> 00:48:55,899
Hayes doesn't believe he's in the wrong.

965
00:48:55,966 --> 00:49:00,137
As he put it, the villain is only
the villain when the hero tells the story.

966
00:49:00,203 --> 00:49:02,406
[Byron] Of course,
Carmelo's brainwashed himself.

967
00:49:02,472 --> 00:49:06,877
He's brainwashed himself into believing
that everything he's done is justified.

968
00:49:06,944 --> 00:49:10,080
[Vic] Look at the combination
offense with the Ura Nage,

969
00:49:10,147 --> 00:49:14,651
but not enough to keep Carmelo Hayes down.

970
00:49:14,718 --> 00:49:18,422
Take a look.
Feel the impact from Joe Gacy.

971
00:49:19,122 --> 00:49:23,560
Joe Gacy is a very peculiar person
to say the least,

972
00:49:24,194 --> 00:49:26,096
but he's very skillful inside the ring.

973
00:49:27,164 --> 00:49:29,933
[Byron] Carmelo Hayes is seeing firsthand,
and this could really put

974
00:49:30,000 --> 00:49:34,471
the proverbial egg on the face of Hayes
if he were to lose to Gacy.

975
00:49:34,538 --> 00:49:36,673
[Vic] Hayes looking for a suplex.

976
00:49:36,740 --> 00:49:38,742
Gacy had it counted for a moment,
then getting turned around

977
00:49:38,809 --> 00:49:42,079
almost into the cutter, but Gacy
had it scouted up on the shoulders

978
00:49:42,145 --> 00:49:44,147
and down goes Hayes.

979
00:49:44,214 --> 00:49:45,982
Is this enough for Joe Gacy?

980
00:49:46,049 --> 00:49:51,621
And another near-fall,
and that would be such an upset,

981
00:49:51,688 --> 00:49:54,057
wouldn't you think,
if Joe Gacy was able to knock off

982
00:49:54,124 --> 00:49:57,694
a caliber superstar like Carmelo Hayes?
Bam!

983
00:49:57,761 --> 00:50:00,097
[Byron] Listen, Vic,
it may become a reality.

984
00:50:00,163 --> 00:50:05,802
We may be moments away from witnessing
Joe Gacy upset Carmelo Hayes.

985
00:50:05,869 --> 00:50:09,573
[Vic] Joe Gacy fueled by, well,
we're not really sure what he's fueled by,

986
00:50:09,639 --> 00:50:12,609
but we know Carmelo Hayes
is fueled by jealousy.

987
00:50:12,676 --> 00:50:14,745
He's had the titles.
He's had the main events.

988
00:50:14,811 --> 00:50:16,446
He's had his name in the Marquee,

989
00:50:16,513 --> 00:50:18,148
but he doesn't like
to share the spotlight.

990
00:50:18,215 --> 00:50:21,718
And for Joe Gacy here tonight,
to something you said earlier,

991
00:50:21,785 --> 00:50:23,520
could play almost a locker room hero.

992
00:50:23,587 --> 00:50:27,424
Not that he necessarily wants to,
but look where Gacy's at, looking forward.

993
00:50:28,458 --> 00:50:32,162
For Nothing But Net. Came up short,
but just plowed over Gacy.

994
00:50:32,229 --> 00:50:34,331
And now it's Carmelo Hayes
turning things around.

995
00:50:34,398 --> 00:50:38,001
Nice cutter center of the ring.
Gacy out on his feet.

996
00:50:38,068 --> 00:50:39,736
Hayes thinks this match is over.

997
00:50:39,803 --> 00:50:43,540
Into the cover,
but Joe Gacy still would fight.

998
00:50:44,674 --> 00:50:50,047
[Byron] Think again, Carmelo Hayes.
Perturbed look on the face of Melo.

999
00:50:50,113 --> 00:50:52,849
-[audience chattering]
-[laughs]

1000
00:50:53,850 --> 00:50:56,019
[Vic] How do you describe that one, Byron?

1001
00:50:57,354 --> 00:50:59,022
Gacy somehow still smiling.

1002
00:50:59,089 --> 00:51:00,757
-Carmelo Hayes…
-[Byron] Was euphoric.

1003
00:51:02,025 --> 00:51:05,662
[Vic] Measuring now.
Joe Gacy looking to come back in.

1004
00:51:05,729 --> 00:51:07,831
Gacy though,
a little bit too much time taken

1005
00:51:07,898 --> 00:51:09,499
by the former NXT Champion

1006
00:51:10,333 --> 00:51:12,836
who signaled out
Ilja Dragunov last week as well.

1007
00:51:12,903 --> 00:51:16,339
Now focus on Dragunov tonight.
Focus on Joe Gacy.

1008
00:51:16,406 --> 00:51:19,076
Gacy trying to drop Ilja
after being brutally attacked

1009
00:51:19,142 --> 00:51:20,877
last week when he went off air.

1010
00:51:20,944 --> 00:51:22,813
Hayes looking to fly once more.

1011
00:51:22,879 --> 00:51:24,381
Got caught. Got dropped.

1012
00:51:24,448 --> 00:51:28,785
Bossman-esque slam from Joe Gacy
who's licking his chops.

1013
00:51:29,853 --> 00:51:32,089
[Byron] Maybe one big move away, Vic.

1014
00:51:32,155 --> 00:51:35,358
[Vic] Trying to take Carmelo
to the upside down. And no.

1015
00:51:35,425 --> 00:51:38,495
-[Byron] And that's for Gacy.
-[Vic] Countered by Hayes.

1016
00:51:39,529 --> 00:51:44,201
[Vic] And now for the second time tonight,
Hayes taking his spot on the court.

1017
00:51:44,801 --> 00:51:47,871
-Lining up. Looking for Nothing But Net.

[Vic] And to the cheers
of the NXT universe, Hayes victorious.

00:51:57,447 --> 00:52:02,285

[Vic] Sounds like Carmelo Hayes
for the champion.

1030
00:52:24,107 --> 00:52:26,443
I noticed as we go back
to some of the action in this matchup,

1031
00:52:26,510 --> 00:52:29,579
Joe Gacy was rolling
throughout this matchup.

1032
00:52:29,646 --> 00:52:31,748
Was looking to take Hayes
to the upside down.

1033
00:52:32,349 --> 00:52:35,218
Carmelo had a different plan of attack.

1034
00:52:35,285 --> 00:52:39,556
And then looking for Nothing But Net
got all of it.

1035
00:52:39,623 --> 00:52:42,859
And we are seeing a side of Carmelo Hayes

1036
00:52:42,926 --> 00:52:47,063
-that we have never ever seen before.
-[bell ringing]

1037
00:52:50,834 --> 00:52:52,602

-[Byron] Dijak.

00:52:56,540 --> 00:52:59,876
-Stick to your [inaudible], huh?
-[audience booing]

1040
00:53:04,347 --> 00:53:10,353
[Vic] We saw Dijak carrying
his bag around earlier tonight.

1041
00:53:10,921 --> 00:53:13,356
-[Vic] Is that a straight jacket?
-[Byron] It looks like it.

1042
00:53:17,160 --> 00:53:19,796
-[Vic] What's going on?
-[Byron] I don't know.

1043
00:53:19,863 --> 00:53:22,232
[screams]

1044
00:53:22,299 --> 00:53:25,368
[Vic] Joe Gacy has just been through
a matchup with Carmelo Hayes.

1045
00:53:25,435 --> 00:53:29,573
And now we got this diabolical Dijak
out here trying to tie up Joe Gacy.

1046
00:53:30,407 --> 00:53:36,179
[Byron] Clearly, Joe Gacy is continuing
to haunt the mind of Dijak.

1047
00:53:36,246 --> 00:53:38,148
But this is next level.

1048
00:53:38,214 --> 00:53:42,719
[Vic] This must be the evil intentions
conjured up in Dijak's mind.

1049
00:53:43,687 --> 00:53:45,055
-Come on!
-[grunts]

1050
00:53:45,121 --> 00:53:47,490
-[Dijak] Stop it!
-[referee 1] Get out of here!

1051
00:53:47,557 --> 00:53:49,225
Let's go. That's enough.

1052
00:53:49,292 --> 00:53:50,794
[referee 2] You got to stop it now, Dijak.

1053
00:53:50,860 --> 00:53:52,262
-Come on!
-[Dijak] Get your hands in, huh Joe?

1054
00:53:52,329 --> 00:53:53,697
-Come on.
-[Dijak] You like that.

1055
00:53:53,763 --> 00:53:56,866
-[laughs]
-[Dijak] You like that, huh.

1056

[grunting]

1057
00:53:59,903 --> 00:54:01,404
[Vic] This is getting hard to watch.

1058
00:54:05,041 --> 00:54:06,509
Dijak, that's it. Come on.

1059
00:54:07,110 --> 00:54:09,479
[referee 2] That's enough. Come on.

1060
00:54:10,280 --> 00:54:14,084
[referee 1] Come on.
Your job is done. Come on.

1061
00:54:14,150 --> 00:54:16,620
[Dijak] How's that feel? How's that feel?

1062
00:54:20,924 --> 00:54:22,392
Get you laughing, huh, Joe.

1063
00:54:26,896 --> 00:54:28,965
Keep moving. Keep moving. Go, go, go.

1064
00:54:29,699 --> 00:54:31,668
-Sit him up. Sit him up.
-Come on.

1065
00:54:31,735 --> 00:54:38,642
[audience chanting] Free Joe Gacy!
Free Joe Gacy! Free Joe Gacy!

1066
00:54:44,347 --> 00:54:45,882
Define confidence.

1067
00:54:46,750 --> 00:54:47,584
-Brinley.
-Yeah.

1068
00:54:47,651 --> 00:54:49,252
You don't need to be warming up this hard.

1069
00:54:49,319 --> 00:54:52,489
Carmen, I want to be super ready
and super prepared.

1070
00:54:52,555 --> 00:54:55,358
I already have my G's and P's,
grams of protein, of course.

1071
00:54:55,425 --> 00:54:58,762
Brin, it's okay to be nervous.
Kiana's at the top of the division.

1072
00:54:58,828 --> 00:55:00,764
-True.
-But I know you can get this win.

1073
00:55:04,134 --> 00:55:05,068
Big Head Brinley.

1074
00:55:05,135 --> 00:55:06,736
I wouldn't listen
to these two if I were you.

1075
00:55:06,803 --> 00:55:08,438
Yeah, more like do the opposite.

1076
00:55:08,505 --> 00:55:11,741
Especially from the so-called
future of the women's division.

1077
00:55:11,808 --> 00:55:15,378
What'd you say last week?
Fear never crowned a champion.

1078
00:55:15,445 --> 00:55:17,714
So looks like you'll be waiting
for a very long time.

1079
00:55:17,781 --> 00:55:20,517
Because I just don't see the hype
that Kiana sees behind all this.

1080
00:55:21,685 --> 00:55:25,622
Because I guess Slash, when Kiana saw you,
she didn't see you as a threat.

1081
00:55:26,056 --> 00:55:28,091
If she even saw anything.

1082
00:55:28,158 --> 00:55:31,394
But it kind of makes me wonder,
what's Noam see in you?

1083
00:55:31,461 --> 00:55:34,330
Oh, baby girl,
I'll show you a whole lot of stuff.

1084
00:55:34,397 --> 00:55:36,332
Let's dig. They're all beneath us.

1085
00:55:38,768 --> 00:55:40,136
Berry pickles.

1086
00:55:42,238 --> 00:55:46,009
[Vic] Quite the interaction, but how about
our main event coming up later tonight?

1087
00:55:46,076 --> 00:55:49,279
Our Dusty Cup Winners
get their championship match.

1088
00:55:49,346 --> 00:55:52,215
It's D'Angelo, Stacks, Breakker, Corbin

1089
00:55:52,282 --> 00:55:55,518
for the NXT Tag Team Titles
in our main event.

1090
00:55:55,585 --> 00:55:56,886
It's some breaking news.

1091
00:55:57,087 --> 00:56:00,924
Shotzi, Lyra have gone back and forth
on social media.

1092
00:56:00,990 --> 00:56:03,693
This is official
from our General Manager, Ava.

1093
00:56:03,760 --> 00:56:10,033
The NXT Women's Championship
will be on the line next week here on NXT.

1094
00:56:10,100 --> 00:56:14,070
But when we talk about champions,
this is maybe the biggest

1095
00:56:14,137 --> 00:56:16,106
and the baddest around.

1096
00:56:16,172 --> 00:56:18,508
There is Oba Femi.

1097
00:56:18,575 --> 00:56:21,411
The North American Champion
has a lot on his mind

1098
00:56:21,478 --> 00:56:24,647
and we will hear from him live next.

1099
00:56:30,019 --> 00:56:33,390
Are you kidding me?
Is this a freaking joke? Seriously?

1100
00:56:33,456 --> 00:56:38,461
I finally get my one-on-one title match
and Lola comes in and screws it up for me.

1101
00:56:38,528 --> 00:56:42,766
I've literally been waiting an entire year
to get my one-on-one title match

1102
00:56:42,832 --> 00:56:45,135
and Shotzi just gets one right away?

1103
00:56:45,201 --> 00:56:49,439
Why? Because she put out a tweet?
Because she's on SmackDown?

1104
00:56:49,506 --> 00:56:53,543
Ava's just handing out title matches now?
Where the hell was she the past year?

1105
00:56:53,610 --> 00:56:57,247
-I've been here.
-Roxanne, I know how you feel.

1106
00:56:57,313 --> 00:56:59,048
-I literally--
-I'm sorry.

1107
00:56:59,115 --> 00:57:01,684
You know how I feel?
Oh, yeah, that's right.

1108
00:57:01,751 --> 00:57:05,422
You just got here
so you don't know how I feel.

1109
00:57:06,055 --> 00:57:07,590
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.

1110
00:57:07,657 --> 00:57:10,693
What I meant was Shotzi
was a former tag champion.

1111
00:57:10,760 --> 00:57:14,164
She won WarGames twice,
and she's on SmackDown.

1112
00:57:14,230 --> 00:57:19,035
So maybe, maybe you can ask
to face the winner of Lyra and she's--

1113
00:57:19,102 --> 00:57:20,303
-Oh!
-[grunts]

1114
00:57:20,370 --> 00:57:22,038
-What the hell is she doing?
-What is your problem?

He's destructive. I can continue to go on.

1125

My question to you, who can stop Oba Femi?

1126

who can stop Oba Femi.

the last time I saw a newcomer

and own it the way that Oba Femi has.

00:59:32,201 --> 00:59:34,304
you are a proud warrior.

1137
00:59:35,872 --> 00:59:40,476
But I showed at Vengeance Day
that it takes more than a fighting spirit

1138
00:59:40,543 --> 00:59:42,078
to take this title from me.

1139
00:59:42,145 --> 00:59:44,013
[audience] Whoo!

1140
00:59:44,080 --> 00:59:49,319
A championship around the waist
of a superstar means prestige.

1141
00:59:50,219 --> 00:59:54,490
-But for me, it represents supremacy.
-[audience] Whoo!

1142
00:59:54,958 --> 00:59:58,995
Which makes me the alpha species of NXT.

1143
00:59:59,062 --> 01:00:04,133
Dragon Lee was the first casualty,
but he will not be the last.

1144
01:00:04,200 --> 01:00:09,505
So you can send anyone, send anyone to try
to take this title from me.

1145
01:00:11,607 --> 01:00:14,911
But don't send anyone that you want back.

1146
01:00:21,551 --> 01:00:26,222
Wow! Wow! Wow!

1147
01:00:26,289 --> 01:00:29,225
-Mr. Oba Femi!
-[audience booing]

1148
01:00:29,292 --> 01:00:31,928
The King just wanted to come out here

1149
01:00:31,995 --> 01:00:35,999
and personally congratulate you

1150
01:00:36,065 --> 01:00:39,035
on all of your success.

1151
01:00:40,703 --> 01:00:43,206
But I gotta be honest, Oba.

1152
01:00:47,143 --> 01:00:49,979
I've been wanting to get
something off my chest.

1153
01:00:50,046 --> 01:00:55,084
[audience chanting]

1154
01:00:56,919 --> 01:01:00,590
I hear you've been calling yourself
the ruler, and well,

1155
01:01:00,656 --> 01:01:03,693
everybody knows I'm The King,
so… [chuckles]

1156
01:01:07,797 --> 01:01:10,133
I just think it's a little funny,
you know?

1157
01:01:11,167 --> 01:01:13,002
Make your point.

1158
01:01:14,504 --> 01:01:18,975
My point is that I softened up
Dragon Lee for you

1159
01:01:19,042 --> 01:01:22,712
so that you could exercise
your breakout tournament contract.

1160
01:01:24,480 --> 01:01:28,217
Okay? So it was me, The King,

1161
01:01:28,284 --> 01:01:31,854
who placed that title on your shoulder,
Oba Femi.

1162
01:01:34,290 --> 01:01:39,495
And I'll be damned if it's not gonna be
The King that takes it off of you.

1163
01:01:44,100 --> 01:01:47,303
I don't deal with empty threats.

1164
01:01:47,370 --> 01:01:49,005
[audience] Whoo!

1165
01:01:49,072 --> 01:01:53,042
Well, Oba, that wasn't a threat.

1166
01:01:56,145 --> 01:01:57,814
It was a promise.

1167
01:01:57,880 --> 01:02:02,652
And a King always keeps his promises.

1168
01:02:06,756 --> 01:02:10,526
You get your title opportunity next week.

1169
01:02:10,593 --> 01:02:13,396
-[audience applauding]
-[audience] Whoo!

1170
01:02:13,463 --> 01:02:17,200
But I promise you
that this throne is not one

1171
01:02:17,266 --> 01:02:20,636
that you'll be sitting on any time soon.

1172
01:02:23,072 --> 01:02:24,440
[audience groans and cheers]

1173
01:02:24,507 --> 01:02:27,043
[Vic] And Lexis King is striking first.

1174
01:02:29,145 --> 01:02:32,148
-And King looking for the coronation.
-[audience cheering]

1175
01:02:33,049 --> 01:02:36,419
-And there's just the power of Oba Femi.
-[grunts]

1176
01:02:37,520 --> 01:02:39,222
[Vic] Whoa, whoa, whoa.

1177
01:02:40,156 --> 01:02:46,462
And King, Lexis King
may want to rethink his promises.

1178
01:02:47,797 --> 01:02:52,001
What a matchup we could have next week
for the North American title!

1179
01:02:53,035 --> 01:02:54,303
[King] I'll catch you next week, baby.

1180
01:02:55,805 --> 01:02:58,741
Look, the game had a lot of physicality
on Sunday,

1181
01:02:58,808 --> 01:03:01,611
but I think the main event's
gonna have a little hard hitting action.

1182
01:03:01,677 --> 01:03:03,913
I'm telling you,
my money's on the Wolf Dogs.

1183
01:03:03,980 --> 01:03:04,814
Wolf Dogs?

1184
01:03:04,881 --> 01:03:06,482
-The Wolf Dogs?
-Yes.

1185
01:03:06,549 --> 01:03:08,751
[chuckles]
How you gonna play the dog like that?

1186
01:03:08,818 --> 01:03:09,719
Bro, dog?

1187
01:03:10,553 --> 01:03:13,089
-It's the dog.
-You want me to grow some balls?

1188
01:03:13,156 --> 01:03:14,924
It took you a whole week to figure that?

1189
01:03:14,991 --> 01:03:15,925
Well, here they are.

1190
01:03:15,992 --> 01:03:17,426
Whoa, whoa, whoa.

1191
01:03:17,493 --> 01:03:20,096
Hey, hey, hey.

1192
01:03:23,432 --> 01:03:25,268
All right, all right. Come on, kid.

1193
01:03:27,003 --> 01:03:28,938
Hey, hey, hey.

1194
01:03:29,505 --> 01:03:32,942
Enough. Stop. What the hell are you doing?

1195
01:03:33,509 --> 01:03:36,312
Listen to me.
If you want to do this, do it out there.

1196
01:03:36,379 --> 01:03:37,280
Not in here.

1197
01:03:37,346 --> 01:03:41,117
-I'm gonna beat up Charlie's.
-You're not doing this here.

1198
01:03:44,353 --> 01:03:47,390
[Vic] I said it earlier,
Ava's got a lot on her plate.

1199
01:03:51,961 --> 01:03:56,532
["The Highest" playing]

1200
01:03:58,167 --> 01:03:59,001
[bell ringing]

1201
01:03:59,402 --> 01:04:02,805
[Alicia] The following contest
is scheduled for one fall,

1202
01:04:02,872 --> 01:04:07,076
introducing first,
accompanied by Izzi Dame,

1203
01:04:07,710 --> 01:04:10,713
Kiana James!

1204
01:04:11,480 --> 01:04:15,785
[Vic] Can you think
of a more calculated superstar in NXT

1205
01:04:15,852 --> 01:04:16,953
than Kiana James?

1206
01:04:17,019 --> 01:04:19,488
I'm gonna let you think
about that one, Byron,

1207
01:04:19,555 --> 01:04:22,258
because when we come back,
Kiana James will be in action,

1208
01:04:22,325 --> 01:04:26,262
going one-on-one
with Brinley Reece here on NXT.

1209
01:04:33,903 --> 01:04:37,907
[Vic] Well, Byron, it didn't take long
for our NXT champion

1210
01:04:37,974 --> 01:04:40,910
to respond to Carmelo Hayes.

1211
01:04:40,977 --> 01:04:44,580
You can see right there
what Ilja Dragunov had to say

1212
01:04:44,647 --> 01:04:45,881
on social media

1213
01:04:45,948 --> 01:04:48,818
after what Carmelo Hayes said
earlier tonight.

1214
01:04:48,884 --> 01:04:50,820
And the champion has heard from Melo.

1215
01:04:50,886 --> 01:04:56,192
Next week, face-to-face, the Mad Dragon
looks to breathe fire once more.

1216
01:04:56,259 --> 01:04:58,861
[dramatic music playing]

1217
01:05:00,930 --> 01:05:04,634
["Bring It On" playing]

1218
01:05:07,803 --> 01:05:13,175
[Alicia] And her opponent, Brinley Reece.

1219
01:05:13,242 --> 01:05:14,744
Yeah.

1220
01:05:15,411 --> 01:05:18,514
[audience cheering]

1221

Brinley! Brinley! Brinley!

01:05:22,418 --> 01:05:25,121
Brinley! Brinley! Brinley! Brinley!

1223
01:05:39,635 --> 01:05:41,637
[Vic] Go back to what I had asked you
before the break,

1224
01:05:41,704 --> 01:05:43,139
as Reece has entered the ring.

1225
01:05:43,205 --> 01:05:46,409
Can you think of a more calculated
superstar than Kiana James,

1226
01:05:46,475 --> 01:05:48,577
who Reece is getting ready
to face one-on-one?

1227
01:05:48,644 --> 01:05:52,815
[Byron] No, I think Kiana James has taken
that corporate boardroom mindset,

1228
01:05:52,882 --> 01:05:54,717
applied it to her entire career.

1229
01:05:54,784 --> 01:05:56,652
Very meticulous decision-making.

1230
01:05:56,719 --> 01:05:58,988
And you know who's a close
second to that mindset?

1231
01:05:59,055 --> 01:06:01,957
Her understudy on the outside of the ring,
Izzi Dame,

1232
01:06:02,024 --> 01:06:06,462
who is soaking up
every bit of knowledge from Kiana James.

1233
01:06:06,529 --> 01:06:10,633
[Vic] Take a look at Brinley Reece.
She is someone who is certainly energized.

1234
01:06:10,700 --> 01:06:13,102
I think that's a good word
or descriptor to use.

1235
01:06:13,169 --> 01:06:16,706
And can you relate to Reece?
Because this is her matchup on NXT.

1236
01:06:16,772 --> 01:06:19,742
Taking on a big-time superstar
like Kiana James

1237
01:06:19,809 --> 01:06:23,279
as James rolled to the outside
to maybe regroup.

1238
01:06:23,346 --> 01:06:25,247
And we've seen Kiana James in the past

1239
01:06:25,314 --> 01:06:27,883
get deep in her bag like a grandma
looking for a peppermint.

1240
01:06:27,950 --> 01:06:30,519
And right now,
it's not working out for Reece.

1241
01:06:31,487 --> 01:06:35,157
Because Reece turned around
and this goes back to what you just said.

1242
01:06:35,224 --> 01:06:36,692
Two-on-one on the outside.

1243
01:06:37,093 --> 01:06:41,263
Reece, not good odds when you take
a look at someone like Izzi Dame.

1244
01:06:41,330 --> 01:06:43,733
[Byron] A loyal understudy strikes again.

1245
01:06:43,799 --> 01:06:46,736
And to your previous question,
Brinley Reece is going through

1246
01:06:46,802 --> 01:06:48,704
what a lot of rookies go through here.

1247
01:06:48,771 --> 01:06:49,939
You're always going to get tested.

1248
01:06:50,006 --> 01:06:52,208
I was there when I first started
in this industry.

1249
01:06:52,274 --> 01:06:55,478
Veterans are going to test you
to see how much they can stop on you,

1250
01:06:55,544 --> 01:06:57,113
how much they can walk all over you.

1251
01:06:57,179 --> 01:06:58,681
Are you going to stand up for yourself?

1252
01:06:58,748 --> 01:07:02,084
So this is Brinley Reece's chance
to stand up for herself

1253
01:07:02,151 --> 01:07:03,953
and let Kiana James and Izzi Dame know,

1254
01:07:04,020 --> 01:07:05,554
hey, I'm not your doormat.

1255
01:07:05,621 --> 01:07:10,092
[Vic] What a night it has been on NXT.
Kiana James in control at this juncture.

1256
01:07:10,159 --> 01:07:12,228
Still to come in just a matter of moments,

1257
01:07:12,294 --> 01:07:15,631
our main event
for the NXT Tag Team Titles.

1258
01:07:15,698 --> 01:07:20,503
Back to Kiana James and testing
a lack of a better phrase here, a rookie.

1259
01:07:20,569 --> 01:07:22,505
She poured Reece's drink out last week

1260
01:07:22,571 --> 01:07:26,308
because she could in front of everyone
in the locker room.

1261
01:07:26,375 --> 01:07:29,779
And for what reason?
To simply embarrass Reece.

1262
01:07:29,845 --> 01:07:32,448
Into another cover
off the neckbreaker hook of the leg

1263
01:07:32,515 --> 01:07:34,583
and Reece able to get
that inside shoulder up.

1264
01:07:34,650 --> 01:07:36,919
[Byron] So to my point, everybody
in the locker room is going to go,

1265
01:07:36,986 --> 01:07:38,387
how's Brinley going to respond?

1266
01:07:38,454 --> 01:07:39,622
What's she going to do?

1267
01:07:39,688 --> 01:07:42,224
If Brinley did nothing,
then that's the reputation

1268
01:07:42,291 --> 01:07:45,161
she will have in that locker room
for years.

1269
01:07:47,129 --> 01:07:49,965
[Vic] The NXT universe
is trying to rally behind Reece,

1270
01:07:50,032 --> 01:07:51,967
but I continue to talk
about the locker room

1271
01:07:52,034 --> 01:07:55,838
because we're all looking towards
the biggest WrestleMania ever.

1272
01:07:55,905 --> 01:07:58,274
And on Wrestlemania Saturday,
Stand & Deliver.

Tickets on sale now,
by the way, ticketmaster.com.

1274
01:08:00,443 --> 01:08:03,579
Everyone wants that spotlight.
Everyone wants that platform.

1275
01:08:03,646 --> 01:08:07,116
And Kiana James lost last year
at Stand & Deliver.

1276
01:08:07,183 --> 01:08:08,918
She doesn't want to be embarrassed again.

1277
01:08:08,984 --> 01:08:11,220
[Byron] It's a big stage.
Everybody's getting ready.

1278
01:08:11,287 --> 01:08:12,655
I've already got my suit ready up.

1279
01:08:12,721 --> 01:08:14,924
For Kiana James
it's an opportunity for redemption.

1280
01:08:14,990 --> 01:08:18,427
For everyone else,
it's an opportunity to stand out.

1281
01:08:19,028 --> 01:08:20,362
[Vic] What a clothesline!

1282
01:08:20,429 --> 01:08:23,599
But I bring up, is that why she maybe
recruited Izzi Dame

1283
01:08:23,666 --> 01:08:28,137
if you're Kiana James.
And overpowering James is Reece.

1284
01:08:28,204 --> 01:08:29,839
Getting a little workout.

1285
01:08:29,905 --> 01:08:33,676
Dropping down with a cutter-esque
maneuver into the cover.

1286
01:08:33,742 --> 01:08:35,711
And a kick out by Kiana.

1287
01:08:35,778 --> 01:08:39,415
[Byron] Kiana trying to play the long game
by having Izzi Dame in her corner.

1288
01:08:40,182 --> 01:08:43,886
Kind of an insurance policy, a protector,
an insurer of her success.

1289
01:08:44,520 --> 01:08:46,055
[Vic] Ooh! Another nice counter.

1290
01:08:46,121 --> 01:08:48,924
Just dropping Reece right
in the center of the ring.

1291
01:08:48,991 --> 01:08:50,759
Kiana charging right back in.

1292
01:08:50,826 --> 01:08:51,827
Oh!

1293
01:08:52,995 --> 01:08:55,998
-A little 401K from Kiana.
-[audience booing]

1294
01:08:57,199 --> 01:09:03,239
And now Kiana's just bankrupting Brinley.
One, two, three!

1295
01:09:03,305 --> 01:09:05,174
[bell ringing]

1296
01:09:06,242 --> 01:09:10,179
[Alicia] Here is your winner, Kiana James!

1297
01:09:10,746 --> 01:09:14,316
[Vic] Reece seems to be the definition
of a go-getter.

1298
01:09:14,383 --> 01:09:17,953
But Kiana James with Izzi Dame by her side

1299
01:09:18,521 --> 01:09:21,557
may just be unstoppable
in the women's division.

["The Highest" playing]

1301

I already talked to them.

1302
01:09:25,728 --> 01:09:28,097
Next week, it's official.
It's Briggs vs. Jensen.

1303
01:09:29,498 --> 01:09:32,501
-Ava, do you got a minute?
-I'll talk to you later.

1304
01:09:33,169 --> 01:09:34,303
Yeah, I do actually.

1305
01:09:34,370 --> 01:09:36,572
Great. Did you punch Wren Sinclair
in the locker room?

1306
01:09:37,439 --> 01:09:40,175
Did you give Shotzi a women's title match
against Lyra?

1307
01:09:40,242 --> 01:09:43,012
No, no, no. Did you punch Wren
in the face or not?

1308
01:09:43,879 --> 01:09:47,416
Okay, yeah, I did. Wrong place,
wrong time for Wren. Anyway…

1309
01:09:47,483 --> 01:09:50,719
No. There's no wrong place,
wrong time for anyone, Roxanne.

1310
01:09:50,786 --> 01:09:52,955
You can't just go around
punching people in the face.

1311
01:09:53,022 --> 01:09:55,958
And because of that, Wren already asked me
for a match next week,

01:09:56,025 --> 01:09:57,393
one-on-one, with you.

1313

-Okay. Give it to her.
-I did.

1314
01:09:59,762 --> 01:10:02,831
And maybe when that's done,
we can talk about what you really want,

1315
01:10:02,898 --> 01:10:05,201

is the women's title picture.

did to her last week,

That's crazy. And the face she made
in the locker after.

1327

Aw.

1328
01:10:46,108 --> 01:10:47,576

right in the face

here on NXT.

to crown himself champion.

Next Tuesday, he faces the imposing
Oba Femi for the North American title.

1368
01:12:40,923 --> 01:12:45,928
And Shotzi returns to an NXT ring
for a golden opportunity

can this duo win the Tag Team Title?

1391
01:14:09,344 --> 01:14:11,647
[Byron] Think about
how far-fetched of an idea

1392
01:14:11,713 --> 01:14:14,716
it seemed a matter of a few weeks ago

1393

that Baron Corbin and Bron Breakker
would even consider being a tag team.

Bron's laughing at Baron.

A lot of one-upsmanship,
but whatever it is, it's worked.

To your point,
it's gotten them to this moment.

You may not love their antics,
but they are always game for a fight.

1442
01:17:18,800 --> 01:17:22,838
[Vic] I have to believe that Chase U
is watching this matchup very closely,

1443

earlier tonight, as Bron Breakker

1444
01:17:28,210 --> 01:17:32,914
just rolls right over Tony D'Angelo
and not even blinking.

1445
01:17:32,981 --> 01:17:34,950
Bron Breakker
has been in these big matches.

1446
01:17:35,017 --> 01:17:37,352
He's been at the main event
of Stand & Deliver.

1447
01:17:37,419 --> 01:17:39,621
He's won the NXT Championship.

1448
01:17:39,688 --> 01:17:42,024
He's not going to flinch
in this situation.

1449
01:17:42,424 --> 01:17:44,726
[Byron] And for as rocky
as their partnership has been at times,

1450
01:17:44,793 --> 01:17:49,264
let's not understate the value
of the knowledge that Baron Corbin

1451
01:17:49,331 --> 01:17:51,133
has imparted on Bron Breakker.

1452
01:17:51,199 --> 01:17:53,535
He has 12 years of WWE experience.

1453
01:17:53,602 --> 01:17:56,705
I guarantee you, Bron being a student,
has soaked it up.

1454
01:17:56,772 --> 01:17:59,675
[Vic] Answering it right back was The Don

1455
01:17:59,741 --> 01:18:03,011

who just checked into the matchup.

-[Byron] I'm going to say so.

1461
01:18:14,956 --> 01:18:16,925
[Byron] On the surface,
you look at Corbin and Breakker,

1462
01:18:16,992 --> 01:18:19,628
obviously they haven't spent
that much time as a tag team,

1463
01:18:19,695 --> 01:18:23,565
but their collective resumes
are what make them such a threat

1464
01:18:23,632 --> 01:18:26,501
and, in my opinion,
the biggest threat to the chains.

1465
01:18:26,568 --> 01:18:29,771
[Vic] Bron now making his way back
over and tagging in Baron Corbin

1466
01:18:29,838 --> 01:18:31,540
for the first time in this matchup.

1467
01:18:31,606 --> 01:18:33,709
Corbin brought up a great point earlier.

1468
01:18:33,775 --> 01:18:38,647
Is Bron going to be distracted
by personal dealings in this matchup?

1469
01:18:38,714 --> 01:18:43,085
He's got a lot going on with SmackDown,
with RAW, with Red, with Blue.

1470
01:18:43,151 --> 01:18:46,555
What a right hand
from the former Golden Glover.

1471
01:18:46,621 --> 01:18:48,623
[Byron] A lot of trauma
going on for the job,

1472
01:18:48,690 --> 01:18:50,358
Stacks, but to your point,

1473
01:18:50,425 --> 01:18:54,596
I think Corbin, it goes back to what
he's been able to advise Bron with.

1474
01:18:54,663 --> 01:18:56,531
Corbin has been through those situations,

1475
01:18:56,598 --> 01:18:57,466
moving to different brands,

1476
01:18:57,532 --> 01:18:59,568
-negotiating with general managers.
-[Vic] Tag.

1477
01:18:59,634 --> 01:19:02,771
[Byron] I'm sure he's been able
to kind of temper Bron's emotions

1478
01:19:02,838 --> 01:19:04,840
and keep him focused on the task at hand.

1479
01:19:04,906 --> 01:19:06,742
[Vic] Double suplex wiping out Corbin.

1480
01:19:06,808 --> 01:19:10,378
I want to go back a moment ago to what
we just saw Stacks with that uppercut.

1481
01:19:10,445 --> 01:19:13,682
It almost looked like
he was able to connect into the ribs,

1482
01:19:13,749 --> 01:19:16,885
into the chest of Baron Corbin
and knock the air,

1483
01:19:16,952 --> 01:19:20,689
knock the wind out of him, opposed
to a typical uppercut under the jaw.

1484
01:19:20,755 --> 01:19:23,191
[Byron] And that can be the broken story
the more this match goes on.

1485
01:19:23,258 --> 01:19:26,094
We have to keep an eye on Baron Corbin
and his ability to move

1486
01:19:26,161 --> 01:19:27,229
throughout this match.

1487
01:19:27,295 --> 01:19:30,632
[Vic] The Family turning things around
in this matchup, though.

1488
01:19:30,699 --> 01:19:34,536
The champions are the ones standing.
The challengers right now are reeling.

1489
01:19:34,603 --> 01:19:37,839
And one thing that can be said
about the champions,

1490
01:19:37,906 --> 01:19:39,107
they're not complacent.

1491
01:19:39,174 --> 01:19:40,742
They're ready for a fight anytime.

1492
01:19:40,809 --> 01:19:43,011
And it's starting to break down
into a hockey fight from The Don.

1493
01:19:43,078 --> 01:19:46,414
[Byron] The benefit of being
a long-term team like Stacks and Tony D's

1494
01:19:46,481 --> 01:19:48,116
is that you know your partner's act.

1495
01:19:48,183 --> 01:19:51,653
You don't have to communicate.
It's almost like a telepathic.

1496
01:19:52,420 --> 01:19:55,524
[Vic] A tag was made.
Bron Breakker's legal.

1497
01:19:55,590 --> 01:19:57,025
The Don just got dropped.

1498
01:19:57,092 --> 01:19:58,894
Stacks coming back in
after he was just dropped

1499
01:19:58,960 --> 01:19:59,861
with a little cheap shot,

1500
01:19:59,928 --> 01:20:02,397
looking for a tornado DDT,
which connected.

1501
01:20:02,464 --> 01:20:03,732
But there's Bron Breakker,

1502
01:20:03,799 --> 01:20:07,869
weighing in the weight
to overpower "Stacks" Lorenzo.

1503
01:20:09,671 --> 01:20:13,241
And like a wrecking ball,
Bron Breakker steps right into the ring.

1504
01:20:13,308 --> 01:20:15,710
Just got caught. Sit-down powerbomb.

1505
01:20:15,777 --> 01:20:17,279
All four men down.

1506
01:20:17,345 --> 01:20:19,314
[panting]

1507
01:20:19,381 --> 01:20:21,082
[Vic] Tag team titles on the line.

1508
01:20:25,086 --> 01:20:26,822
[Vic] As you witness throughout
the commercial break,

1509
01:20:26,888 --> 01:20:31,359
this has been an evenly contested
Tag Team championship main event.

1510
01:20:31,426 --> 01:20:33,762
The champions, The Family,
taking on the winners

1511
01:20:33,829 --> 01:20:37,799
of the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic,
who earned this opportunity

1512
01:20:37,866 --> 01:20:41,937
by winning the Dusty Cup, have brought
it now into this main event matchup,

1513
01:20:42,003 --> 01:20:44,506
not wanting to wait,
wanting to get the job done

1514
01:20:44,573 --> 01:20:46,374
which is why we're having
the matchup here tonight

1515
01:20:46,441 --> 01:20:51,746
and Deep Six! Is it enough
for the first title in six years

1516
01:20:51,813 --> 01:20:54,883
and it was not for Baron Corbin.

1517
01:20:54,950 --> 01:20:58,320
Stacks just able to kick out
and Baron Corbin returns

1518
01:20:58,386 --> 01:21:02,224
with unfinished business
as we see Deep Six hit perfectly.

1519
01:21:02,290 --> 01:21:06,494
Won the Dusty Cup
after making it to the finals in 2015.

1520
01:21:06,561 --> 01:21:09,264
Now looking
for his first taste of gold in NXT.

1521
01:21:09,331 --> 01:21:11,566
[Byron] This is also a man
who's been a King of the Ring.

1522
01:21:11,633 --> 01:21:14,736
Been a United States champion.
Money in the bank.

1523
01:21:14,803 --> 01:21:16,071
So after that six year job,

1524
01:21:16,137 --> 01:21:20,475
when you've had that taste of gold
you've been on top.

1525
01:21:20,542 --> 01:21:21,576
You yearn for it.

1526
01:21:21,643 --> 01:21:22,978
And after six years,

1527
01:21:23,044 --> 01:21:28,383
Baron Corbin is gonna do whatever
it humanly takes to experience that again.

1528
01:21:28,450 --> 01:21:31,286
[Vic] If memory serves me correctly,
when he left NXT,

1529
01:21:31,353 --> 01:21:35,857
he debuted at Wrestlemania and won
the Andre the Giant Memorial Battle Royal.

1530
01:21:35,924 --> 01:21:38,193
And Stacks right now,
not caring about the past,

1531
01:21:38,260 --> 01:21:41,196
he's caring about the present,
which could carry into his future.

1532
01:21:41,263 --> 01:21:45,400
Titles on the line and right now,
turning point of the matchup.

1533
01:21:45,467 --> 01:21:48,803
Who can find their corner first?
Here comes Breakker.

1534
01:21:48,870 --> 01:21:50,438
Here comes The Don.

1535
01:21:52,607 --> 01:21:54,910
[Byron] It's The Don now cleaning house.

1536
01:21:54,976 --> 01:21:57,379
Downing, Breakker, Downing, Corbin.

1537
01:21:57,445 --> 01:21:59,748
[Vic] Belly to belly wasn't perfect
but it was effective this time.

1538
01:21:59,814 --> 01:22:01,750
Just tossing around Bron Breakker.

1539
01:22:01,816 --> 01:22:04,819
Breakker, Corbin,
said they were on the hunt tonight.

1540
01:22:04,886 --> 01:22:06,955
Well, it's The Family who was prepared.

1541
01:22:07,522 --> 01:22:09,424
-Oh!
-[audience cheering]

1542
01:22:09,491 --> 01:22:11,793
Shot to the Adam's apple
will stop anybody.

1543
01:22:11,860 --> 01:22:15,297
And look at Bron Breakker.
Flying, got caught.

1544
01:22:15,363 --> 01:22:17,399
[audience cheering]

1545
01:22:17,465 --> 01:22:20,769
Spine tingling spinebuster from The Don.

1546
01:22:22,137 --> 01:22:24,306
[Byron] This is a champion's mindset.

1547
01:22:24,372 --> 01:22:28,977
A champion's performance on display
right now from Tony D.

1548
01:22:29,044 --> 01:22:32,847
[Vic] We've seen the loyalty of Stacks
on display

1549
01:22:32,914 --> 01:22:34,749
and we've seen this in the past.

1550
01:22:34,816 --> 01:22:38,219
-Stacks, risking it all for The Family.
-[audience cheering]

1551
01:22:39,521 --> 01:22:42,023
[Vic] And look
who is the only one standing right now,

1552
01:22:42,090 --> 01:22:43,825
bam! It's Tony D'Angelo.

1553
01:22:44,759 --> 01:22:49,030
After offense, after counters,
after using his own partner as a weapon,

1554
01:22:49,097 --> 01:22:50,865
tag was made. Corbin is out.

1555
01:22:50,932 --> 01:22:53,868
Bron right now on Dream Street.
Two for one.

1556
01:22:53,935 --> 01:22:56,705
Champions now looking
to put away the challengers

1557
01:22:56,771 --> 01:23:02,344
to retain the NXT Tag Team Titles
and kicking out at two.

1558
01:23:03,278 --> 01:23:04,713
Bron Breakker.

1559
01:23:06,114 --> 01:23:08,516
[Byron] We talk about being there,
we talk about deep waters.

1560
01:23:08,583 --> 01:23:12,187
Stacks and The Don, they've been
in these deep waters of matchups before.

1561
01:23:12,253 --> 01:23:14,923
These two are not fazed
by the pressure of this moment.

1562
01:23:14,990 --> 01:23:17,459
And neither should Bron Breakker be.

1563
01:23:17,525 --> 01:23:20,128
-[Byron] Oh! Gets a point.
-[Vic] Big knee under the jaw.

1564
01:23:21,663 --> 01:23:24,099
[Vic] Stacks is rocked. So is Breakker.

1565
01:23:24,165 --> 01:23:28,703
Stacks right now on Dream Street.
Bron presence of mind to make the tag.

1566
01:23:28,770 --> 01:23:32,974
And in comes Corbin, looking
to burn down the ship of The Family.

1567
01:23:34,075 --> 01:23:36,411
[Byron] Corbin wobbling his legs at all.

1568
01:23:36,478 --> 01:23:39,114
Bron Breakker to add more punishment.

1569
01:23:39,180 --> 01:23:42,417
[Vic] Nice cutter into the cover.
Is this enough for the titles?

1570
01:23:42,484 --> 01:23:45,920
And a no! Oh, my-- That was close.

1571
01:23:45,987 --> 01:23:49,257
-[Byron] Oh, man.
-[audience chattering]

1572
01:23:49,324 --> 01:23:52,961
[Vic] This is our main event.
The NXT Tag Team Titles on the line.

1573
01:23:53,027 --> 01:23:56,731
The champions, The Family, D'Angelo
and Stacks taking on the challengers,

1574
01:23:56,798 --> 01:23:59,667
the winners
of the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic.

1575
01:23:59,734 --> 01:24:01,836
Baron Corbin, Bron Breakker.

1576
01:24:01,903 --> 01:24:05,640
An unlikely alliance which has formed,
which has molded,

1577
01:24:05,707 --> 01:24:09,144
which has gelled possibly
into the next tag team champions.

1578
01:24:09,210 --> 01:24:13,314
[Byron] We're seeing competition
at its finest between two proud teams.

1579
01:24:13,381 --> 01:24:15,350
[Vic] Match goes up, goes over, near-fall.

1580
01:24:17,052 --> 01:24:19,154
And Stacks wisely making
the tag over to The Don.

1581
01:24:19,220 --> 01:24:20,622
The Don charging right in.

1582
01:24:20,688 --> 01:24:22,557
And he just got dropped by Bron.

1583
01:24:22,624 --> 01:24:23,992
Excuse me, Baron.

1584
01:24:24,059 --> 01:24:27,095
As Bron barking,
reaching out, making the tag.

1585
01:24:29,664 --> 01:24:32,300
[Byron] This match quickly turning
into advantage.

1586
01:24:32,367 --> 01:24:33,668
Wolf Dogs!

1587
01:24:33,735 --> 01:24:37,172
[Vic] You gotta be kidding me!
Look at the power into the cover.

1588
01:24:37,238 --> 01:24:41,242
And Stacks saves the matchup for his team.

1589
01:24:41,309 --> 01:24:43,778
-[Byron] Lots of interference by Stacks.
-[grunts]

1590
01:24:44,479 --> 01:24:46,681
-[Vic] Look, when you talk about--
-[Byron] Oh, wow!

1591
01:24:48,650 --> 01:24:53,521
Corbin truly wants out.
Everybody, bodies hitting the floor.

1592
01:24:53,588 --> 01:24:58,793
NXT universe on their feet.
NXT Tag Team Titles on the line.

1593
01:24:58,860 --> 01:25:04,299
[audience chanting]
NXT! NXT! NXT! NXT! NXT!

1594
01:25:04,365 --> 01:25:06,334
[Vic] Who will be the first one
to get to their feet.

1595
01:25:06,401 --> 01:25:07,869
It appears it was The Don.

1596
01:25:08,136 --> 01:25:11,106
-[grunts]
-[groans]

1597
01:25:11,172 --> 01:25:13,074
[Byron] Nasty shot by Tony D.

1598
01:25:13,141 --> 01:25:13,975
[thuds]

1599
01:25:14,042 --> 01:25:14,876
-[Vic] Oh!
-[Byron] Oh!

1600
01:25:17,312 --> 01:25:20,014
[Vic] Baron might be done. Bron now.

1601
01:25:21,149 --> 01:25:24,385
Power on his way. And now it's two on one.

1602
01:25:24,452 --> 01:25:26,554
Watch The Family. The family.

1603
01:25:26,621 --> 01:25:28,923
-[thuds]
-[audience cheering]

1604
01:25:28,990 --> 01:25:31,893
[audience cheering and applauding]

1605
01:25:31,960 --> 01:25:34,129
[Vic] I thought Corbin might be done.

1606
01:25:36,164 --> 01:25:37,799
[Byron] Breakker's gotta be done.

1607
01:25:37,866 --> 01:25:40,301
[audience cheering]

1608
01:25:45,139 --> 01:25:48,209
[Vic] I thought Corbin was done.
As you mentioned, Breakker might be done.

1609
01:25:48,276 --> 01:25:50,678
To retain. Don into the cover.

1610
01:25:50,745 --> 01:25:56,518
And somehow, that's the passion of a man
who hasn't had a damn title in six years.

1611
01:25:56,584 --> 01:26:00,655
He wants it, he can feel it.
But look at Stacks, up to drop Corbin.

1612
01:26:02,457 --> 01:26:03,758
[Byron] How long now?

1613
01:26:05,026 --> 01:26:08,796
How long will it be
until The Family retains?

1614
01:26:09,531 --> 01:26:12,634
Because Corbin's in terrible shape.
Breakker's hurt.

1615
01:26:13,134 --> 01:26:15,603
Stacks and Tony D on the offense.

1616
01:26:17,539 --> 01:26:18,740
[Vic] Corbin the veteran hanging on.

1617
01:26:18,806 --> 01:26:22,777
It is two on one as D'Angelo
just gets dropped for a moment.

1618
01:26:22,844 --> 01:26:25,013
But there's Stacks, right from behind.

1619
01:26:25,079 --> 01:26:28,716
Again, look at that Tornado DDT.
Didn't connect, coming in.

1620
01:26:28,783 --> 01:26:29,951
The End of Days!

1621
01:26:30,985 --> 01:26:33,488
The End of Days!
Is that the end of the rail on this?

1622
01:26:33,555 --> 01:26:39,327
And Don, taking out Corbin
in perfect position.

1623
01:26:39,394 --> 01:26:43,364
Stacks is right.
Breakker looking for the Spear!

1624
01:26:44,465 --> 01:26:47,335
One, two, three!

1625
01:26:47,402 --> 01:26:49,370
-[bell ringing]
-[audience cheering]

1626
01:26:49,938 --> 01:26:50,939
They've done it!

1627
01:26:51,005 --> 01:26:53,441
[Alicia] Here are your winners

1628
01:26:53,508 --> 01:26:58,880
and new NXT Tag Team Champions!

1629
01:26:59,414 --> 01:27:05,620
Baron Corbin and Bron Breakker.

1630
01:27:05,687 --> 01:27:10,658
[Vic]
The celebration begins for The Wolfdogs!

1631
01:27:10,725 --> 01:27:13,127
[Byron] Can you believe it?

1632
01:27:14,362 --> 01:27:17,865
Baron Corbin! Bron Breakker!

1633
01:27:17,932 --> 01:27:22,637
Your new NXT Tag Team Champions!

1634
01:27:22,704 --> 01:27:27,976
[audience cheering]

1635
01:27:28,042 --> 01:27:32,580
["Destined For Greatness" playing]

1636
01:27:33,381 --> 01:27:36,751
[audience barking and cheering]

1637
01:27:38,853 --> 01:27:40,755
[Byron]
A team that should have never been.

1638
01:27:41,723 --> 01:27:44,125
They now call themselves champs.

1639
01:27:44,726 --> 01:27:46,160
[Vic] Let's go back to some of the action.

1640
01:27:46,227 --> 01:27:48,730
This is when you-- we-- you-- both thought

1641
01:27:48,796 --> 01:27:50,598
it was over for the Wolfdogs.

1642
01:27:50,665 --> 01:27:55,003
Corbin was out. Bron was out.
The Family was in control.

1643
01:27:55,069 --> 01:27:59,374
Not to be outdone, Corbin
was able to counter with the End of Days.

1644
01:27:59,440 --> 01:28:02,243
And then Bron Breakker
would slide into the ring

1645
01:28:02,310 --> 01:28:06,614
after The Don, away from Corbin
and deliver that bone-crushing,

1646
01:28:06,681 --> 01:28:08,549
rib breaking Spear.

1647
01:28:08,616 --> 01:28:10,351
And when you think about Bron Breakker,

1648
01:28:10,418 --> 01:28:14,889
he's a living, breathing form of AI,
not Artificial Intelligence.

1649
01:28:14,956 --> 01:28:17,592
I'm talking about Alpha Intensity.

1650
01:28:18,860 --> 01:28:21,262
[audience chanting]

1651
01:28:21,329 --> 01:28:25,800
And the Wolfdogs
go from the hunters to the hunted

1652
01:28:25,867 --> 01:28:28,603
here in NXT.

1653
01:28:28,670 --> 01:28:32,540
[audience cheering and chanting]

1654
01:28:32,607 --> 01:28:37,612
