1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:04,504
[theme music playing]

2
00:00:04,571 --> 00:00:05,438
[narrator] Then.

3
00:00:07,207 --> 00:00:10,944
-[Ric Flair] Woo!
-[The Rock] If you smell…

4
00:00:11,011 --> 00:00:12,212
[narrator] Now.

5
00:00:12,278 --> 00:00:14,748
[Roman Reigns] Acknowledge me.

6
00:00:14,814 --> 00:00:17,250
-[Lammy] The King of Kings.
-[John Cena] You can't see me.

7
00:00:17,317 --> 00:00:18,385
[narrator] Forever.

8
00:00:23,089 --> 00:00:24,290
Together.

9
00:00:30,296 --> 00:00:34,834
[Vic] It's a big fight field days
before the Elimination Chamber in Perth.

10
00:00:34,901 --> 00:00:36,903
As there is Smack Down's Shotzi

11
00:00:36,970 --> 00:00:42,242
who has arrived for her first one-on-one
NXT Women's Championship opportunity.

12
00:00:42,308 --> 00:00:45,478
All it took was one social media post

13
00:00:45,545 --> 00:00:49,249
to ruffle the feathers of our champion,
Lyra Valkyria.

14
00:00:49,315 --> 00:00:52,352
Who leaves tonight with the gold?
It's our main event.

15
00:00:53,319 --> 00:00:55,555
Welcome to NXT.

16
00:00:55,622 --> 00:00:58,458
[Alicia] The following contest
scheduled for one fall

17
00:00:58,525 --> 00:01:00,627
is for the NXT

18
00:01:00,693 --> 00:01:05,999
North American Championship.

19
00:01:06,066 --> 00:01:07,567
[audience cheering]

20
00:01:07,634 --> 00:01:11,104
[Alicia] Introducing first,
the challenger,

21
00:01:11,171 --> 00:01:16,476
Lexis King.

22
00:01:20,246 --> 00:01:21,748
And his opponent,

23
00:01:21,815 --> 00:01:28,588
he is the NXT North American Champion,

24
00:01:28,655 --> 00:01:32,959
Oba Femi.

25
00:01:33,026 --> 00:01:36,496
[Vic] Who will sit atop the throne

26
00:01:36,563 --> 00:01:40,033
as the North American Champion
by the end of the night.

27
00:01:40,100 --> 00:01:43,470
Can you believe that King believes

28
00:01:43,536 --> 00:01:47,841
he's owed a thank you from Oba Femi.

29
00:01:47,907 --> 00:01:51,144
Let that sink in for a moment.
It's a thank you.

30
00:01:51,211 --> 00:01:53,279
[Byron]
I had a week for it to sink in, Vic.

31
00:01:53,346 --> 00:01:56,349
And listen, one of the foundational
premises of this industry

32
00:01:56,416 --> 00:01:57,984
when you're trying to make it.

33
00:01:58,051 --> 00:02:00,286
You have to understand
how to sell yourself,

34
00:02:00,353 --> 00:02:03,122
how to market yourself
for big time opportunities.

35
00:02:03,189 --> 00:02:08,194
And as outlandish as it may seem,
that Oba owes Lexis a thank you.

36
00:02:08,261 --> 00:02:10,263
It was a smart marketing strategy.

37
00:02:10,330 --> 00:02:13,099
[Vic] The last time King had
a North American title opportunity,

38
00:02:13,166 --> 00:02:16,136
a fortune teller's prophecy came true.

39
00:02:16,202 --> 00:02:20,173
And that's when Oba began
his takeover of NXT.

40
00:02:20,240 --> 00:02:24,711
[Byron] I almost feel like Oba Femi
is a human being that transcends time.

41
00:02:24,777 --> 00:02:27,213
A figure of mythological proportions.

42
00:02:27,747 --> 00:02:29,682
[Vic] Byron,
when you competed in the ring,

43
00:02:29,749 --> 00:02:34,921
can you imagine being a champion
at this level in less,

44
00:02:34,988 --> 00:02:38,458
in less than ten matches,
as you check out the height

45
00:02:38,525 --> 00:02:40,994
and then the nasty spill for Lexis King?

46
00:02:41,060 --> 00:02:43,229
[Byron] Ten matches in,
I was still trying to decide

47
00:02:43,296 --> 00:02:45,198
whether or not
I should wear trunks or tights,

48
00:02:45,265 --> 00:02:46,666
let alone winning championships.

49
00:02:46,733 --> 00:02:51,437
What Oba Femi is doing right now
is super rare, almost unheard of.

50
00:02:51,504 --> 00:02:53,173
[Vic] I should have worn a mask,
but I'll digress.

51
00:02:53,239 --> 00:02:54,107
[Byron] You should have what?

52
00:02:54,173 --> 00:02:56,009
[Vic] I should have worn a mask,
but I'll digress.

53
00:02:56,075 --> 00:02:58,878
As King charging back in and got caught,

54
00:02:58,945 --> 00:03:02,515
and then just tossed outside by the champ.

55
00:03:03,149 --> 00:03:04,951
[Byron] Were the words of Oba Femi
last week,

56
00:03:05,018 --> 00:03:08,922
don't send someone you don't want back?

57
00:03:08,988 --> 00:03:12,125
The NXT universe
may not get Lexis King back,

58
00:03:12,191 --> 00:03:13,927
and I'm not quite sure
anybody's gonna compete here.

59
00:03:13,993 --> 00:03:15,228
[Vic] That's where I thought
you were gonna go with that.

60
00:03:15,295 --> 00:03:18,531
As King, nice dropkick,
just rocked Oba Femi.

61
00:03:18,598 --> 00:03:20,066
[Byron] I'll be doing us all a favor.

62
00:03:20,133 --> 00:03:22,235
[Vic] Femi's down,
and I suppose as you mentioned,

63
00:03:22,302 --> 00:03:27,073
you have to tip your cap to Lexis King
for this championship match up and…

64
00:03:27,140 --> 00:03:28,708
King duct.

65
00:03:28,775 --> 00:03:33,179
Oba into the post, and Oba now,
for the first time in his young career,

66
00:03:33,246 --> 00:03:36,249
which we've talked about,
there's a bullseye on his body.

67
00:03:36,316 --> 00:03:38,251
There's a mark…
That also is quite the right hand.

68
00:03:38,318 --> 00:03:41,454
[Byron] That's how Oba Femi responds
to having a bullseye on his back.

69
00:03:41,521 --> 00:03:43,923
[Vic] Well, Oba Femi's shape thing,
and look at King stopping right away,

70
00:03:43,990 --> 00:03:47,527
going right to work on that left elbow,
that left shoulder as well,

71
00:03:47,594 --> 00:03:49,562
and sound strategy.

72
00:03:49,629 --> 00:03:52,498
I mean, you take away one arm from Oba,

73
00:03:52,565 --> 00:03:54,367
you're gonna be
able to take away his power.

74
00:03:59,706 --> 00:04:03,142
-You know what? I'll be right back.
-Where are you going?

75
00:04:04,143 --> 00:04:05,178
Out there.

76
00:04:07,313 --> 00:04:09,449
Stone, I told you he's not worth it.

77
00:04:11,684 --> 00:04:15,822
[Vic] Lexis King had a few choice words
for Mr. Stone's children last week,

78
00:04:15,888 --> 00:04:18,424
but he refocused himself
on this championship match up.

79
00:04:18,491 --> 00:04:20,260
You were trying to get
into it a little bit earlier.

80
00:04:20,326 --> 00:04:23,329
What are your honest thoughts
of Lexis King?

81
00:04:23,396 --> 00:04:28,735
[Byron] Lexis King is like a blind pimple.
It's deep beneath the skin.

82
00:04:28,801 --> 00:04:30,737
Yeah, it's hard to see at times,

83
00:04:30,803 --> 00:04:32,605
but when it arrives,
it makes you feel uncomfortable,

84
00:04:32,672 --> 00:04:34,007
and it's hard to get rid of.

85
00:04:34,073 --> 00:04:35,708
And again, that's another compliment.

86
00:04:35,775 --> 00:04:38,311
Lexis King finds himself
in this situation.

87
00:04:38,378 --> 00:04:40,313
He's stirred the pot.
You don't see him coming.

88
00:04:40,380 --> 00:04:43,016
-Speaking of seeing him coming.
-[Vic] There's Mr. Stone.

89
00:04:43,082 --> 00:04:47,820
Lexis King, he saw, but it didn't even
stop what King had in mind,

90
00:04:47,887 --> 00:04:50,957
trying to hyperextend the elbow
of Oba Femi,

91
00:04:51,024 --> 00:04:54,627
who now is down to just one arm,
swinging wildly.

92
00:04:55,428 --> 00:04:57,563
-Oh, my God.
-Get in here, Lexis.

93
00:04:57,630 --> 00:04:59,265
Maybe King did take his eye off the ball.

94
00:04:59,332 --> 00:05:01,367
I don't know how wise
that was from the challenger

95
00:05:01,434 --> 00:05:04,437
-as the champion was waiting.
-[Byron] Not wise at all.

96
00:05:06,673 --> 00:05:09,008
I understand Mr. Stone getting offended

97
00:05:09,075 --> 00:05:13,846
and hurt by Lexis King's
defamatory comments.

98
00:05:13,913 --> 00:05:15,214
[Vic] I know what you're trying to say.

99
00:05:15,281 --> 00:05:19,085
And Lexis King now
can't be worried about Stone.

100
00:05:19,152 --> 00:05:21,587
Can't be worried
about Mr. Stone's children.

101
00:05:21,654 --> 00:05:25,091
He should be worried about Oba Femi.

102
00:05:26,292 --> 00:05:28,394
And he's finding out why it's not wise

103
00:05:28,461 --> 00:05:33,533
to get in the face of someone 6'6",
over 300 pounds,

104
00:05:33,599 --> 00:05:38,204
who talks about immortality,
that we all exist as footnotes,

105
00:05:38,271 --> 00:05:41,307
and Oba Femi is overpowering Lexis King.

106
00:05:41,374 --> 00:05:46,746
[Byron] Lexis King may live to regret
the day he challenged Oba Femi.

107
00:05:46,813 --> 00:05:51,551
[Vic] Pop Up Power bomb
might have just sealed the fate

108
00:05:51,617 --> 00:05:55,955
as Oba Femi continues to sit on the throne
as North American Champion.

109
00:05:56,022 --> 00:06:01,794
[Alicia] Here is your winner,
and still the NXT North American Champion,

110
00:06:01,861 --> 00:06:04,297
Oba Femi.

111
00:06:04,364 --> 00:06:08,835
[Vic] Maybe it's Lexis King
who should seek out a fortune-teller

112
00:06:08,901 --> 00:06:10,837
before making any more promises.

113
00:06:10,903 --> 00:06:14,373
There was a distraction, though.
Lexis King, though, it's his own fault.

114
00:06:14,440 --> 00:06:16,843
He was in control of the match up.
Mr. Stone came out.

115
00:06:16,909 --> 00:06:18,745
They had a little war of words last week.

116
00:06:18,811 --> 00:06:21,114
Lexis King, though,
paid the ultimate price.

117
00:06:21,180 --> 00:06:23,249
First that lariat, and then this pop-up.

118
00:06:23,316 --> 00:06:28,588
Bam! Power bomb,
which sealed the fate for Lexis King.

119
00:06:28,654 --> 00:06:33,793
And Oba Femi continues his dominance
here at NXT.

120
00:06:33,860 --> 00:06:36,295
And while he may be backed by destiny,

121
00:06:36,362 --> 00:06:41,200
Oba Femi continues
to ascend to new heights.

122
00:06:45,471 --> 00:06:49,475
-You okay?
-Riley hasn't answered me all week.

123
00:06:49,542 --> 00:06:54,147
-Please tell me you haven't texted him.
-No, I did what Tracy told me to do.

124
00:06:54,213 --> 00:06:56,816
-It was hard to get on the date.
-Okay, we get it.

125
00:06:56,883 --> 00:07:00,620
You and Riley went on a Valentine's date.
Just tell us what happened.

126
00:07:00,686 --> 00:07:03,856
Well, he opened the car door for me.

127
00:07:03,923 --> 00:07:05,825
I told him,
no, don't open the car door for me.

128
00:07:05,892 --> 00:07:08,628
I'm a grown-ass woman.
I could do it myself.

129
00:07:09,262 --> 00:07:10,363
Okay.

130
00:07:11,431 --> 00:07:13,599
Okay, well, we went to dinner,

131
00:07:13,666 --> 00:07:16,702
and he asked me what it was like
to start at Chase University.

132
00:07:16,769 --> 00:07:18,204
And I stayed on my phone most of the time

133
00:07:18,271 --> 00:07:20,807
because I couldn't be too available,
you know?

134
00:07:20,873 --> 00:07:22,508
Couldn't be too available.

135
00:07:22,575 --> 00:07:29,248
Oh. That's how you took it?
That's not what I meant.

136
00:07:29,315 --> 00:07:32,518
Excuse me, ladies.
I couldn't help but overhear.

137
00:07:32,585 --> 00:07:34,053
-Where did you come from?
-Would you mind?

138
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:35,087
What?

139
00:07:35,721 --> 00:07:41,661
Thea, a true lady is never afraid
to come off as daring.

140
00:07:41,727 --> 00:07:43,796
I, for one, have been on many, many dates.

141
00:07:43,863 --> 00:07:46,265
-Okay.
-And it sounds to me like,

142
00:07:46,332 --> 00:07:49,168
-you may have scared him away.
-Oh, no.

143
00:07:49,235 --> 00:07:52,972
When a man opens the door for you,
you welcome it.

144
00:07:53,039 --> 00:07:56,042
When he shows interest
in the little things you do,

145
00:07:56,108 --> 00:08:00,079
-you engage and reciprocate.
-Reciprocate?

146
00:08:00,146 --> 00:08:03,216
I don't think it's too late for you.
You should talk to Riley.

147
00:08:03,282 --> 00:08:06,419
-And do what? Look desperate?
-That.

148
00:08:07,453 --> 00:08:09,622
Respectfully, ladies,
I don't see how she would.

149
00:08:09,689 --> 00:08:13,059
-But Jacy told me that I need to…
-Don't look at me.

150
00:08:13,125 --> 00:08:17,029
I didn't mean it the way you executed it.
I can't do everything for you, Thea.

151
00:08:17,096 --> 00:08:19,532
No, you're right. I have to do better.

152
00:08:19,599 --> 00:08:21,767
-And she's your best friend?
-Yeah.

153
00:08:21,834 --> 00:08:27,373
Stop. Stop filling her head up
and stay out of our business.

154
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,042
Or else Jacy will make
an example out of you.

155
00:08:30,109 --> 00:08:35,314
-Exactly. Ladies, let's go.
-I'm coming.

156
00:08:42,255 --> 00:08:46,292
[Vic] There's the NXT Tag Team Champions,
Bron Breakker, Baron Corbin,

157
00:08:46,359 --> 00:08:48,895
and they're here to celebrate once again.

158
00:08:48,961 --> 00:08:51,631
We're gonna hear from the Wolf dogs next.

159
00:08:54,300 --> 00:08:58,204
You took a pretty vicious beating
from Lola last week. You good?

160
00:08:58,271 --> 00:09:01,240
I mean, yeah, everything hurts.

161
00:09:01,307 --> 00:09:04,043
And I've only been able to eat soup
the past week.

162
00:09:04,110 --> 00:09:07,346
But you came to my aid,
and that's all that matters.

163
00:09:07,413 --> 00:09:09,181
I wouldn't say that, but…

164
00:09:10,249 --> 00:09:12,685
Someone had to tell you to tap out, Tatum.

165

in the beginning, Vic,

when the idea of Bron Breakker
and Baron Corbin came up as a tag team.

I thought Roxanne Perez overreacted.

332
00:20:01,233 --> 00:20:03,068
I thought there was no reason
why Roxanne Perez

333
00:20:03,135 --> 00:20:04,903
had to punch Wren Sinclair.

334
00:20:04,970 --> 00:20:09,174
And fist bump of respect to Wren Sinclair
for going to Ava and saying,

335
00:20:09,241 --> 00:20:11,977
I want the former NXT Women's Champion.

336
00:20:14,680 --> 00:20:17,316
[Vic] Wren Sinclair right now
has Roxanne Perez for the moment,

337
00:20:17,382 --> 00:20:18,250
and there comes Perez.

338
00:20:18,317 --> 00:20:20,719
And this now is starting to break down,

339
00:20:20,786 --> 00:20:24,289
and I feel bad for the official
in this match up.

340
00:20:24,990 --> 00:20:27,559
Perez has to watch
not to get disqualified,

341
00:20:27,626 --> 00:20:31,230
and this all boils down
to the NXT Women's Championship.

342
00:20:31,296 --> 00:20:33,498
Is Roxanne right
in voicing her displeasure,

343
00:20:33,565 --> 00:20:36,268
you talked about Ava,
of the NXT Women's Title?

344
00:20:36,335 --> 00:20:37,402
[Byron] Yes.

345
00:20:37,469 --> 00:20:39,037
[Vic] Backslide, shoulders down, kick out.

346
00:20:39,104 --> 00:20:41,440
[Byron] It's not fair to Roxanne Perez,
but…

347
00:20:42,307 --> 00:20:44,843
[Vic] Another showdown one more time.
Almost a big upset.

348
00:20:44,910 --> 00:20:46,378
[Byron] Vic, you know as well as anyone,

349
00:20:46,445 --> 00:20:50,682
anyone who has spent significant time
in this industry knows it's not fair.

350
00:20:51,416 --> 00:20:54,519
There are some opportunities
you think you deserve and you don't get.

351
00:20:54,586 --> 00:20:57,789
It doesn't mean you go around punching
anybody in the face that you want.

352
00:20:57,856 --> 00:21:00,659
[Vic] The main event will be Shotzi-Lyra
for the NXT Women's Championship.

353
00:21:00,726 --> 00:21:03,695
Right now, though, Wren Sinclair,
big match for Sinclair.

354
00:21:03,762 --> 00:21:08,800
Could have been a massive upset,
a milestone victory as well.

355
00:21:08,867 --> 00:21:13,305
And Perez pointed out the similarities
between herself and Sinclair,

356
00:21:13,372 --> 00:21:15,274
or should I say the lack thereof,

357
00:21:15,340 --> 00:21:18,410
last week when Sinclair
was trying to help out The Prodigy.

358
00:21:18,477 --> 00:21:20,846
[Byron] Roxanne Perez has been
in a position of Wren Sinclair.

359
00:21:20,912 --> 00:21:23,115
She should know.
But right now, Roxanne Perez

360
00:21:23,181 --> 00:21:25,550
is on an emotional warpath.

361
00:21:25,617 --> 00:21:29,388
And she's treading on that line
between extreme focus and self-implosion.

362
00:21:29,454 --> 00:21:34,459
She's got to get control of her emotions
or she's going to make a bigger mistake.

363
00:21:34,526 --> 00:21:38,664
[Vic] Her intentions, having Wren Sinclair
was not to anger Roxanne Perez.

364
00:21:38,730 --> 00:21:43,568
But for Roxanne Perez,
she is at a different point in her career,

365
00:21:43,635 --> 00:21:46,738
different point in her life perhaps
right now.

366
00:21:46,805 --> 00:21:48,840
[Byron] To that point,
as we take another look here.

367
00:21:48,907 --> 00:21:49,741
[Vic] Bam!

368
00:21:49,808 --> 00:21:51,777
[Byron] Attack on the left arm
is Roxanne Perez.

369
00:21:51,843 --> 00:21:54,246
-Roxanne is actually…
-[Vic] Another cover.

370
00:21:54,312 --> 00:21:58,817
[Byron] …is actually dared
the entire women's roster here in NXT

371
00:21:58,884 --> 00:22:00,085
to come after her.

372
00:22:00,152 --> 00:22:03,188
She's placing herself on an island,
all by herself,

373
00:22:03,255 --> 00:22:04,956
daring challenges to come after her.

374
00:22:05,023 --> 00:22:07,759
And again, that's something
that could come back to bite her.

375
00:22:07,826 --> 00:22:09,261
[Vic] Let's break this down
a little bit more

376
00:22:09,328 --> 00:22:10,462
because for Roxanne Perez,

377
00:22:10,529 --> 00:22:13,398
is this more about
the NXT Women's Championship

378
00:22:13,465 --> 00:22:17,502
or is this about the lack of compassion
she's had for management

379
00:22:17,569 --> 00:22:19,771
for everything she went through
this time last year?

380
00:22:19,838 --> 00:22:21,973
[Byron] I think it's about
the NXT Women's Championship

381
00:22:22,040 --> 00:22:25,110
to your point a little bit.
It's about other past situations.

382
00:22:25,177 --> 00:22:27,612
Losing titles without being involved
or having…

383
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:29,448
[Vic] Into another cover
and another kick out.

384
00:22:29,514 --> 00:22:31,850
[Byron] Having partners turn on her,
being backstabbed.

385
00:22:31,917 --> 00:22:34,920
All these situations
that have cost Roxanne Perez.

386
00:22:34,986 --> 00:22:37,789
Situations that were outside of her control.

387
00:22:37,856 --> 00:22:42,594
That is what has been building for weeks,
perhaps months for Roxanne Perez.

388
00:22:43,595 --> 00:22:46,164
[Vic] We know the championship story
from Roxanne Perez.

389
00:22:46,231 --> 00:22:47,799
We know she did the media rounds.

390
00:22:47,866 --> 00:22:51,036
She's ripped this brand twice
in the Women's Royal Rumble match.

391
00:22:51,103 --> 00:22:52,404
But it's very telling.

392
00:22:52,471 --> 00:22:56,141
Her feelings more so
was the statement made about Shotzi,

393
00:22:56,208 --> 00:23:00,379
who just had to go on social media
to receive a championship opportunity.

394
00:23:00,445 --> 00:23:02,547
At the end of the day,

395
00:23:02,614 --> 00:23:06,752
is Roxanne harnessing too much resentment
towards others?

396
00:23:06,818 --> 00:23:09,721
[Byron] Yeah. Lately, yes, I do think so.

397
00:23:09,788 --> 00:23:13,925
Because you have to understand…
Look, let's look at a guy like Logan Paul.

398
00:23:13,992 --> 00:23:19,898
How many superstars in that locker room
were ticked that Logan Paul came to WWE,

399
00:23:19,965 --> 00:23:22,033
dared to enter our industry,

400
00:23:22,100 --> 00:23:24,903
and then go on to win a championship?

401
00:23:24,970 --> 00:23:26,271
How many guys
in that locker room are going,

402
00:23:26,338 --> 00:23:28,240
-he's just a social media phenomenon?
-[Vic] Good point.

403
00:23:28,306 --> 00:23:30,776
[Byron] But he backed it up.
That's just what happens.

404
00:23:30,842 --> 00:23:33,345
So what do you do about it? You win.

405
00:23:33,412 --> 00:23:35,580
You win, and you win,
and you earn another chance.

406
00:23:35,647 --> 00:23:37,549
You don't cry about it.
I love Roxanne Perez,

407
00:23:37,616 --> 00:23:39,251
but I don't love
what I'm seeing right now.

408
00:23:39,317 --> 00:23:41,353
[Vic] I love what I'm seeing
out of Wren Sinclair, though,

409
00:23:41,419 --> 00:23:42,521
because as you talk about that fight,

410
00:23:42,587 --> 00:23:44,856
that is what Wren Sinclair
is bringing to Perez.

411
00:23:44,923 --> 00:23:47,426
Nice counter and a nice, unique take down.

412
00:23:47,492 --> 00:23:49,961
[Byron] And someone like Wren Sinclair
is playing with house money right now.

413
00:23:50,028 --> 00:23:52,497
She's got nothing to lose
and everything to gain.

414
00:23:52,564 --> 00:23:54,800
Only a handful of matches here in NXT,

415
00:23:54,866 --> 00:23:58,136
and now you have a chance
to defeat a former women's champion?

416
00:23:58,203 --> 00:23:59,237
[Vic] Right, wrong, or indifferent,

417
00:23:59,304 --> 00:24:01,706
it's Sinclair
who has been thrown into the fire.

418
00:24:01,773 --> 00:24:06,445
But here is Roxanne Perez
looking for Pop Rocks! Connects.

419
00:24:06,511 --> 00:24:09,114
-She got all of it, but…
-[Byron] Oh, wow.

420
00:24:09,181 --> 00:24:12,317
[Vic] …rolling out of the cover
to continue to punish Wren Sinclair

421
00:24:12,384 --> 00:24:15,620
-with a Crossface and immediately a tap.
[bell ringing]

422
00:24:17,789 --> 00:24:24,129
[Alicia] Here is your winner
by submission, Roxanne Perez.

423
00:24:24,196 --> 00:24:25,063
["All Fall Down" playing]

424
00:24:25,130 --> 00:24:26,631
[Vic] That was a message being sent.

425
00:24:27,466 --> 00:24:31,436
She focused on the injured shoulder
that she damaged earlier in the match-up.

426
00:24:31,503 --> 00:24:35,140
We've seen Roxanne Perez
win a plethora of matches

427
00:24:35,207 --> 00:24:36,308
with that Pop Rocks,

428
00:24:36,374 --> 00:24:39,077
but this is where Roxanne Perez
is different.

429
00:24:39,144 --> 00:24:42,481
-She wanted to hurt Wren Sinclair.
[bell ringing]

430
00:24:42,547 --> 00:24:45,517
[Byron] I think the message, Vic,
the message to Roxanne Perez,

431
00:24:45,584 --> 00:24:49,621
to the entire Law Crew,
is that I am not to be messed with.

432
00:24:49,688 --> 00:24:51,656
I want my championship back,

433
00:24:51,723 --> 00:24:54,292
and I'll hurt anyone I gotta hurt
to get there.

434
00:24:55,360 --> 00:24:57,429
[Vic] I'll give credit to Sinclair,
who gave it her all,

435
00:24:57,495 --> 00:24:59,097
but falls to The Prodigy,

436
00:24:59,164 --> 00:25:03,001
who now turns her attention
to our championship main event.

437
00:25:04,169 --> 00:25:10,575
But in moments, Brooks Jensen seemed lost
until Josh Briggs told him to grow up.

438
00:25:10,642 --> 00:25:14,012
Former partners collide next on NXT.

439
00:25:19,050 --> 00:25:22,420
Lash, tonight,
you're gonna take care of Kelani Jordan.

440
00:25:22,487 --> 00:25:24,089
-Yeah. I know it.
-But, Mensah,

441
00:25:24,155 --> 00:25:26,591
what are we gonna do
about no quarter catch through?

because of the sport and the tradition.

-Don't ruin the handshake!
-Come on. [laughs]

it symbolizes over 100 years of
traditional British tradition…

Hey, shut up, Charlie. You're boring!

451
00:25:49,948 --> 00:25:53,952
I'm from the UK, even I don't want to hear
your history lesson.

452
00:25:54,019 --> 00:25:55,420
So, less talkie-talkie.

453
00:25:55,487 --> 00:25:59,724
In fact, that's two weeks in a row
that you guys have stunk up this lounge.

454
00:25:59,791 --> 00:26:03,428
Hey, once we win this cup,
we ain't ever coming back here.

455
00:26:03,495 --> 00:26:05,397
Okay, who am I fighting? Which one is it?

456
00:26:05,463 --> 00:26:07,766
-What would you like to know?
-That's what I'm asking.

457
00:26:07,832 --> 00:26:09,901
No, I'm your poor soul, man.

458
00:26:09,968 --> 00:26:12,704
Catch clause means
you'll find out who your opponent is,

459
00:26:12,771 --> 00:26:14,973
-once we're all in the ring.
-Catch clause.

460
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:16,274
Yeah, we'll see you next week.

461
00:26:16,341 --> 00:26:19,311
-Catch clause. Catch clause. Catch clause.
-[speaking in Nigerian]

462
00:26:19,377 --> 00:26:22,480
-Catch clause. What's a catch clause?
-Oh, my God. Come on. Forget them.

463
00:26:22,547 --> 00:26:24,482
-What's that?
-Because there's no rules.

464
00:26:24,549 --> 00:26:27,819
So I need to prepare for all four of them
because of a catch clause?

465
00:26:27,886 --> 00:26:29,421
-I guess so, my brother.
-How is that allowed?

466
00:26:31,790 --> 00:26:36,928
[Vic] Meta-Four hasn't quite caught on
to what the catch clause is.

467

[Alicia] The following contest
is schedule for one fall.

470
00:26:48,940 --> 00:26:54,045
Introducing first, Josh Briggs!

471
00:26:54,512 --> 00:26:57,983
[Vic] Be blunt. Throw it out there.

472
00:26:58,049 --> 00:27:04,022
Was Briggs correct
that Brooks Jensen needed to throw up?

473
00:27:05,323 --> 00:27:07,258
[Byron] This is a tough one for me.

474
00:27:07,325 --> 00:27:10,562
I say that because we all heal
at different rates.

475
00:27:10,629 --> 00:27:13,999
Obviously, Brooks Jensen
is still trying to heal

476
00:27:14,065 --> 00:27:17,202
from the breakup
with Josh Briggs and Fallon Henley.

477
00:27:17,268 --> 00:27:20,405
And Josh and Fallon
have been able to move on a little faster.

478
00:27:20,472 --> 00:27:24,809
So I don't think it's a matter of Brooks
needing to throw up, so to speak.

479
00:27:24,876 --> 00:27:31,483
But I do think Brooks has an opportunity
to reset next level of maturity.

480
00:27:31,549 --> 00:27:33,418
-Does that make sense?
-[Vic] I think so.

00:27:54,572 --> 00:27:56,374
throwing a pair, throwing a set.

These are former partners.

championship gold together.

in the WWE.

00:28:10,889 --> 00:28:13,625
What advice would you give
to Brooks Jensen,

493
00:28:13,692 --> 00:28:15,226
who just got knocked out?

494
00:28:15,293 --> 00:28:20,031
[Byron] Brooks needs to take the advice
of Josh Briggs with a grain of salt.

495
00:28:20,098 --> 00:28:23,668
Tap in more to who you are.
And prove Josh wrong.

496
00:28:23,735 --> 00:28:26,805
That's what this business is all about.
You gotta prove people wrong.

497
00:28:26,871 --> 00:28:29,607
[Vic] Going into the first cover
of the match up, Jensen able to kick out.

498
00:28:29,674 --> 00:28:31,476
We kind of already alluded to this,

499
00:28:31,543 --> 00:28:35,480
but this is comparable
to that older sibling.

500
00:28:35,547 --> 00:28:38,550
Just telling you the way it is.
These two have fought before.

501
00:28:38,616 --> 00:28:40,985
As you mentioned, siblings fight.
That's what it's about.

502
00:28:41,052 --> 00:28:42,353
[Byron] You bring up a great point.

503
00:28:42,420 --> 00:28:44,456
It wasn't that long ago
that these two were fighting

504
00:28:44,522 --> 00:28:48,326
when Brooks Jensen got a little consumed
with Kiana James.

505
00:28:48,393 --> 00:28:52,363
[Vic] With conniving Kiana,
let's call what it is, but nonetheless.

506
00:28:52,430 --> 00:28:56,034
[Byron] But it was Josh that had
to utilize some of that tough love.

507
00:28:56,101 --> 00:28:59,170
Let Brooks Jensen kind of found
a lot of zone and learn the hard way

508
00:28:59,237 --> 00:29:02,707
So this is the case for maybe Josh,
knowing Brooks Jensen as well as he does,

509
00:29:02,774 --> 00:29:06,611
better than we do, perhaps realizing
this is what has to happen.

510
00:29:06,678 --> 00:29:08,980
He's gotta tick Brooks Jensen off
a little bit

511
00:29:09,047 --> 00:29:10,882
in order to open the eyes
of Brooks Jensen.

512
00:29:10,949 --> 00:29:13,084
[Vic] I know, it's a lot
of combination offense from Jensen.

513
00:29:13,151 --> 00:29:17,055
Briggs, though, just overpowering Jensen
to the outside.

514
00:29:17,122 --> 00:29:19,224
[Byron] And then we think
about someone like Fallon Henley,

515
00:29:19,290 --> 00:29:21,159
it's gotta be hard for her to sit back

516
00:29:21,226 --> 00:29:25,296
and watch this relationship
just disintegrated.

517
00:29:25,363 --> 00:29:26,664
[Vic] And big right hand!

518
00:29:26,731 --> 00:29:30,168
And, oh, we've seen that
in the past from these two.

519
00:29:30,235 --> 00:29:32,737
But it's from the right hand of Jensen.

520
00:29:32,804 --> 00:29:35,340
And look, it's tough love
at the end of the day.

521
00:29:36,007 --> 00:29:39,010
And Brooks Jensen now
is delivering his own form

522
00:29:39,077 --> 00:29:41,012
of tough love to Briggs.

523
00:29:41,079 --> 00:29:43,581
[Byron] You know, watching Brooks Jensen
the last few weeks,

524
00:29:43,648 --> 00:29:45,383
I thought he was really finding
his own lane.

525
00:29:45,450 --> 00:29:49,220
He was digging into his love
of the history of our industry,

526
00:29:49,287 --> 00:29:50,188
his locker room,

527
00:29:50,255 --> 00:29:53,224
adoring the photos of the likes
of Brad Armstrong, The Free birds.

528
00:29:53,291 --> 00:29:56,461
But you never know what somebody
is struggling with inside.

529
00:29:56,528 --> 00:30:00,431
And maybe this is the wake-up call
that Brooks Jensen needs.

530
00:30:00,498 --> 00:30:04,536
[Vic] Another take down.
Jensen in firm control of this match up.

531
00:30:04,602 --> 00:30:07,639
A match up that you could argue
Briggs wanted.

532
00:30:07,705 --> 00:30:11,442
He wanted to wake up
whatever's inside Brooks Jensen.

533
00:30:11,509 --> 00:30:16,548
And he may have just done that,
as Jensen taking it to Briggs right now.

534
00:30:16,614 --> 00:30:19,017
And this is starting
to spill out all over.

535
00:30:19,083 --> 00:30:21,686
Referee's being very lenient
in this moment.

536
00:30:21,753 --> 00:30:24,689
[Byron] Good, let him go. Let him fight.

537
00:30:25,590 --> 00:30:28,526
[audience chanting] NXT.

538
00:30:28,593 --> 00:30:31,996
[Vic] Stomping away on Briggs is Jensen.

539
00:30:40,071 --> 00:30:41,206
[Vic] Back on NXT,

540
00:30:41,272 --> 00:30:43,041
Jensen, Briggs one-on-one.

541
00:30:43,107 --> 00:30:47,345
It is tough love that has been shown
from Briggs towards Jensen.

542
00:30:47,412 --> 00:30:52,217
Some say maybe Briggs
has been too tough on Jensen.

543
00:30:52,283 --> 00:30:54,052
What do you say?

544
00:30:54,118 --> 00:30:56,521
[Byron] I'm gonna hearken back
to the American Dream, Dusty Rhodes.

545
00:30:56,588 --> 00:30:58,289
I spent a lot of time
with the late, great Dusty Rhodes

546
00:30:58,356 --> 00:30:59,290
during my career,

547
00:30:59,357 --> 00:31:02,126
and the one thing he knew
was how to tailor his approach

548
00:31:02,193 --> 00:31:05,496
to every single athlete differently.

549
00:31:05,563 --> 00:31:07,098
He understood what made him pick.

550
00:31:07,165 --> 00:31:09,968
He understood that some people need
a kick in the butt, others need a hug.

551
00:31:10,034 --> 00:31:13,538
So in this case, Josh Briggs
knows Brooks Jensen

552
00:31:13,605 --> 00:31:15,874
better than anybody, and maybe he knows,

553
00:31:15,940 --> 00:31:20,111
giving him the benefit of the doubt
that this is what Brooks Jensen needs.

554
00:31:20,178 --> 00:31:22,146
[Vic] Your heart just kind of goes out
to Brooks Jensen

555
00:31:22,213 --> 00:31:23,848
because you can sympathize with Jensen.

556
00:31:23,915 --> 00:31:26,584
It's his friends,
that being Briggs, that being Fallon.

557
00:31:26,651 --> 00:31:29,687
They were those he went to dinner with,
those he worked out with,

558
00:31:29,754 --> 00:31:32,223
the people that he traveled with.
They moved on.

559
00:31:32,290 --> 00:31:35,460
The norm will change,
and some people fear change.

560
00:31:35,526 --> 00:31:37,729
[Byron] It's tough.
It's like breaking up with your girlfriend

561
00:31:37,795 --> 00:31:39,264
but then you're still checking
her Facebook page.

562
00:31:39,330 --> 00:31:40,765
You're still trying to figure out
who she's with.

563
00:31:40,832 --> 00:31:44,002
It's hard to get over sometimes.
Similar situation here with Brooks Jensen.

564
00:31:44,068 --> 00:31:46,571
[Vic] Are you speaking because of…
And how this [inaudible]?

565
00:31:46,638 --> 00:31:51,309
Briggs now trying to re-control
this match up here with Jensen.

566
00:31:51,376 --> 00:31:55,780
And maybe deliver
that one final knockout blow.

567
00:31:55,847 --> 00:31:57,015
[Byron] Ooh!

568
00:31:57,916 --> 00:31:59,851
[Vic] Follows up with a big splash.

569
00:31:59,918 --> 00:32:02,220
Into the cover
to put down his former partner,

570
00:32:02,287 --> 00:32:05,890
and Jensen rolling that right shoulder up.

571
00:32:05,957 --> 00:32:08,092
Look, Jensen brought the fight last week.

572
00:32:08,159 --> 00:32:10,295
[Byron] He brought it this week,
and he's shown his resiliency,

573
00:32:10,361 --> 00:32:12,930
or last week, he's shown his resiliency
this week against Josh Briggs,

574
00:32:12,997 --> 00:32:16,434
and if nothing else,
I would think that Brooks Jensen

575
00:32:16,501 --> 00:32:19,971
is earning the respect
of Josh Briggs in the process.

576
00:32:20,538 --> 00:32:22,040
I'm doing this for you.

577
00:32:22,106 --> 00:32:26,444
I'm doing this for you, kid.
Show me what you have made.

578
00:32:27,879 --> 00:32:31,649
I'm doing this for you.
I'm doing this for you. Come on.

579
00:32:33,284 --> 00:32:36,721
[Byron] Oh, yeah, there you go, Brooks.
Show him you're a man.

580
00:32:37,455 --> 00:32:39,657
[Vic] Rubber legs for Briggs,

581
00:32:39,724 --> 00:32:46,130
we know that Josh Briggs likes to get hit
so that he can hit you back twice as hard.

582
00:32:46,197 --> 00:32:48,800
[Byron] Sick, disturbing smile,
but you're right, Vic.

583
00:32:49,267 --> 00:32:50,702
Josh is loving this.

584
00:32:50,768 --> 00:32:52,537
[Vic] But Jensen staying
right out in front,

585
00:32:52,603 --> 00:32:56,674
and now for Jensen,
all that rage that he's had built up.

586
00:32:56,741 --> 00:33:00,244
He's got to let it out now.
He's got to let everything go.

587
00:33:00,311 --> 00:33:02,914
This is his moment to unleash!

588
00:33:04,515 --> 00:33:09,287
[Byron] Unleashing is exactly
what Brooks Jensen is doing.

589
00:33:09,354 --> 00:33:14,025
[Vic] Nice dropkick, and Briggs is out.
Jensen now in control.

590
00:33:14,592 --> 00:33:17,462
[Byron] Another level of aggression
that was encouraged,

591
00:33:17,528 --> 00:33:19,630
brought out by Josh Briggs.

592
00:33:19,697 --> 00:33:24,669
[Vic] Missile dropkick connects,
and Jensen into the cover.

593
00:33:24,736 --> 00:33:26,037
Two…

594
00:33:26,104 --> 00:33:30,608
[Vic] Powering out was Briggs.
That was a unique cover too, by Jensen.

595
00:33:30,675 --> 00:33:35,113
Around the neck, around the arms,
really made it harder for Briggs,

596
00:33:35,179 --> 00:33:38,716
but also made Briggs have to use
a little bit more energy.

597
00:33:38,783 --> 00:33:41,552
[Byron] Absolutely right.
Very smart strategy from Brooks Jensen,

598
00:33:41,619 --> 00:33:44,455
who maintains his aggression
on Josh Briggs.

599
00:33:45,189 --> 00:33:49,660
[Vic] Remember too, Josh Briggs
had a few more one-on-one solo matches

600
00:33:49,727 --> 00:33:52,296
recently on NXT TV than Jensen.

601
00:33:52,363 --> 00:33:55,833
Briggs might be conditioned
just a little bit better.

602
00:33:55,900 --> 00:34:02,273
And now just hoisting a big choke slam,
into the cover…

603
00:34:02,340 --> 00:34:05,510
[audience cheering]

604
00:34:05,576 --> 00:34:09,747
Briggs' eyes tell the story,
almost in disbelief.

605
00:34:09,814 --> 00:34:15,553
And for a man who challenged Brooks Jensen
to grow up and grow a set, ah!

606
00:34:15,620 --> 00:34:21,092
Brooks Jensen is showing
that in just a little bit more.

607
00:34:21,893 --> 00:34:26,831
[Byron] Brooks Jensen is showing you
his heart, his grit,

608
00:34:26,898 --> 00:34:29,734
in the face of being challenged by a man

609
00:34:29,801 --> 00:34:33,638
who has been like a brother to him,
and Josh Briggs.

610
00:34:36,707 --> 00:34:40,311
[Vic] And they start breaking down
into a fight.

611
00:34:40,378 --> 00:34:42,447
[Byron] Similar to what we saw last week.

612
00:34:43,247 --> 00:34:45,149
[Vic] The difference is
there's no one here to stop it.

613
00:34:45,216 --> 00:34:48,352
It's all legal. Big boot by Jensen.
Briggs is rocked.

614
00:34:48,419 --> 00:34:50,621
He answers back
with a boot in his own right.

615
00:34:50,688 --> 00:34:52,356
Spinning heel kick.

616
00:34:52,423 --> 00:34:55,193
Briggs is rocked. Down for the moment.
Gonna be hoisted up.

617
00:34:55,259 --> 00:34:58,029
Does Jensen have enough in the tank?
Big suplex.

618
00:34:58,096 --> 00:35:02,266
Float over into another cover.
Didn't hook the leg.

619
00:35:02,934 --> 00:35:07,338
And maybe, just maybe,
that was the difference.

620
00:35:07,405 --> 00:35:10,975
[audience chanting and clapping]
This is awesome.

621
00:35:11,042 --> 00:35:12,944
[Byron] Look, no matter
how this match turns out,

622
00:35:13,010 --> 00:35:16,214
I think one thing we can be sure of
is that Brooks Jensen and Josh Briggs

623
00:35:16,280 --> 00:35:19,116
are going to physically feel the effects
for weeks.

624
00:35:19,183 --> 00:35:21,586
[Vic] Shoulders down
and a straight right fist

625
00:35:21,652 --> 00:35:22,887
between the eyes.

626
00:35:22,954 --> 00:35:28,860
That's one way to kick out. Bam!
Big lariat laying out Jensen.

627
00:35:30,061 --> 00:35:32,330
I did this for you. I love you.

628
00:35:33,498 --> 00:35:36,434
[Vic] And followed up by another.

629
00:35:37,969 --> 00:35:43,207
A brutal conclusion to this match
for Briggs.

630
00:35:44,942 --> 00:35:48,379
[Alicia] Here is your winner, Josh Briggs!

631
00:35:48,446 --> 00:35:51,349
I love you. I love you.

632
00:35:58,723 --> 00:36:00,725
[Vic] That tells a story right there.

633
00:36:00,791 --> 00:36:06,030
Josh Briggs yelling to Brooks,
"I did this for you. I love you."

634
00:36:07,131 --> 00:36:10,668
That was the second lariat from Briggs

635
00:36:10,735 --> 00:36:14,405
who put a brutal end to this match up.

636
00:36:18,576 --> 00:36:22,079
[Byron] Is this what Brooks Jensen needed?

637
00:36:23,981 --> 00:36:27,852
[Vic] Brothers fight,
but brothers also reunite.

638
00:36:27,919 --> 00:36:31,923
What is next for Jensen and Josh Briggs?

639
00:36:31,989 --> 00:36:34,458
I did that for you. I did that for you.

640
00:36:35,126 --> 00:36:38,296
I did that for you.
I did that for you, Brooks.

I admire your efforts
in trying to stop me,

648
00:37:10,928 --> 00:37:13,965
but this train is on a never-ending track.

649
00:37:19,136 --> 00:37:25,843
I have many instruments of peace
to derail your train.

[Gacy cackle]

651
00:37:49,467 --> 00:37:53,704
Just so you know, what you're doing here
is false imprisonment.

00:37:54,305 --> 00:37:58,309
Go to hell, Crusifino.
I can do whatever I damn well please.

Look, I really don't care,
but I'm telling you, this is illegal.

654
00:38:02,847 --> 00:38:06,317
He violated my law.

655
00:38:06,384 --> 00:38:10,321
Well, the world doesn't work
the way you want it to.

656
00:38:18,863 --> 00:38:21,299
This isn't over.

657
00:38:26,604 --> 00:38:32,777
[Gacy scoffs]

658
00:38:33,844 --> 00:38:40,851
[upbeat music playing]

659
00:38:42,820 --> 00:38:47,325
[Vic] Look who's entered the barbershop.
What's on Melo's mind? Find out next.

660
00:38:55,833 --> 00:38:58,369
[Carmelo Hayes] Trick.
You see where I'm at?

661
00:38:58,436 --> 00:39:00,071
This is where it all began.

662
00:39:01,505 --> 00:39:06,544
-Trick Melo gang. That's all it is.
-And that's all it's going to be.

663
00:39:06,610 --> 00:39:09,080
[all] Yeah.

664
00:39:10,314 --> 00:39:12,783
Good memories. Great moments.

665
00:39:14,285 --> 00:39:17,188
But here I am. All alone.

666
00:39:18,189 --> 00:39:21,892
I ain't lonely. Let's talk about it.

667
00:39:22,793 --> 00:39:25,930
[audience cheering]

668
00:39:25,996 --> 00:39:27,965
I'm here with my pride.

669
00:39:29,500 --> 00:39:32,636
Knowing my principles stay intact.

670
00:39:33,237 --> 00:39:36,907
Knowing the fact that I didn't
have to snake my boy out of his spot.

671
00:39:37,575 --> 00:39:40,211
I didn't get too big for my own boots.

672
00:39:40,277 --> 00:39:42,780
[audience chanting] Whoop that Trick.

673
00:39:42,847 --> 00:39:45,649
It's a shame, man,
because you played your role so well.

674
00:39:45,716 --> 00:39:48,552
I wanted you to experience
everything there is to experience

675
00:39:48,619 --> 00:39:49,820
of being a top guy.

676
00:39:50,588 --> 00:39:53,324
Because you were my boy,
I wanted to lift you up with me.

677
00:39:53,391 --> 00:39:57,027
I said, yo, Trick.
I said, are you about it?

678
00:39:57,728 --> 00:39:59,797
Oh, I'm about it, about it.

679
00:39:59,864 --> 00:40:01,265
This is how you repay me?

680
00:40:03,134 --> 00:40:06,203
By trying to be the number one guy in NXT?

681
00:40:06,270 --> 00:40:10,674
Hey, you could have been number five.
You could have been number three.

682
00:40:10,741 --> 00:40:12,309
Hey, because you were my boy,

683
00:40:12,376 --> 00:40:15,279
I wouldn't have even allowed you
to be number two.

684
00:40:15,346 --> 00:40:17,848
But you wanted to come for the one-on-one.

685
00:40:19,016 --> 00:40:20,351
And when you come for the one-on-one,

686
00:40:20,417 --> 00:40:26,123
you realize
that Melo ain't second to nobody.

687
00:40:27,291 --> 00:40:29,527
I let you stand next to me.

688
00:40:29,593 --> 00:40:33,664
I let you put Trick before Melo
and Trick Melo Gang just to amuse you.

689
00:40:33,731 --> 00:40:35,599
Whole time it was to amuse myself

690
00:40:35,666 --> 00:40:38,602
that you would think that Trick
would be ahead of Melo at anything.

691
00:40:38,669 --> 00:40:43,274
To stay at the top,
you have to be ruthlessly ambitious.

692
00:40:43,774 --> 00:40:46,177
You have to have that killer instinct.

693
00:40:46,777 --> 00:40:50,648
You think I'm stupid?
You think I didn't see the signs?

694
00:40:50,714 --> 00:40:53,451
I knew you were gonna want your shine
sooner or later, Trick.

695
00:40:53,951 --> 00:40:59,590
I saw you side-eye in my championship.
I felt the envy with every accomplishment.

696
00:40:59,657 --> 00:41:01,892
I am your biggest competition.

697
00:41:03,594 --> 00:41:05,296
So I knew that sooner or later,

698
00:41:05,996 --> 00:41:09,967
unfortunately,
I'd have to get you before you got me.

699
00:41:12,770 --> 00:41:17,541
[audience jarring]

700
00:41:22,046 --> 00:41:28,719
So, Trick, wherever you at,
stay there, because your 15 minutes is up.

701
00:41:29,520 --> 00:41:30,921
Back to business.

702
00:41:30,988 --> 00:41:35,292
Ilja, you want to see me? Get in line.

703
00:41:36,126 --> 00:41:38,863
Because if you ain't talking
about that NXT Championship…

704
00:41:41,332 --> 00:41:42,967
you ain't got nothing to talk about.

705
00:41:47,471 --> 00:41:50,574
[Vic] Honestly, Byron,
how selfish could one man be?

706
00:41:50,641 --> 00:41:51,876
[bell ringing]

707
00:41:51,942 --> 00:41:55,679
[Alicia] The following contest
is scheduled for one fall.

708
00:41:55,746 --> 00:42:01,285
Introducing first, Arianna Grace.

709
00:42:01,352 --> 00:42:05,322
[Vic] Those watching right now,
I got a little sax man fact

710
00:42:05,389 --> 00:42:06,690
that you may or may not know.

711
00:42:06,757 --> 00:42:09,193
-Byron used to be a pageant judge.
-[Byron] Oh, yes.

712
00:42:09,260 --> 00:42:13,564
[Vic] As a former pageant judge,
how do you score Arianna Grace?

713
00:42:13,631 --> 00:42:17,134
[Byron] You can see I'm looking
at the poise of Arianna Grace,

714
00:42:17,201 --> 00:42:22,907
the elegance, the confidence,
the dexterity, the overall presence.

715
00:42:22,973 --> 00:42:27,678
I would rate Arianna Grace.
I'll watch it here. But I would watch…

716
00:42:27,745 --> 00:42:30,581
I would rate Arianna Grace
a ten out of ten, Vic.

717
00:42:30,648 --> 00:42:31,849
♪ Jacy Jayne ♪

718
00:42:31,916 --> 00:42:32,983
[Byron] Actually, 11 out of 10.

719
00:42:33,050 --> 00:42:34,118
["One Of A Kind" playing]

720
00:42:34,184 --> 00:42:36,320
[Vic] Probably,
why you don't do pageants anymore.

721
00:42:36,387 --> 00:42:40,391
["One Of A Kind" continues]

722
00:42:41,859 --> 00:42:48,165
[Alicia] And her opponent,
accompanied by Jazmyn Nyx and Thea Hail,

723
00:42:48,232 --> 00:42:51,435
Jacy Jayne!

724
00:42:51,502 --> 00:42:56,173
[Vic] I, however, will not ask you
to score the dating advice given by Jayne.

725
00:42:56,240 --> 00:42:59,410
-[Byron] Why not?
-[Vic] Well, all right.

726
00:42:59,476 --> 00:43:00,444
[Byron] You want to hear something?

727
00:43:00,511 --> 00:43:02,146
[Vic] Sax man hit me
with some dating advice.

728
00:43:02,212 --> 00:43:04,615
-[Byron] How about Sax Lover?
-[Vic] Excuse me.

729
00:43:04,682 --> 00:43:06,817
[Byron] That's my street name.
Don't call me Sax Lover.

730
00:43:06,884 --> 00:43:09,153
[Vic] No one has ever called you
Sax Lover.

731
00:43:09,219 --> 00:43:10,387
[Byron] They're out there. They know.

732
00:43:10,454 --> 00:43:12,389
-So, what's your question?
-[Vic] Let's move on.

733
00:43:12,456 --> 00:43:14,758
[Byron] Let's move on ahead
of the pressure. Love advise.

734
00:43:14,825 --> 00:43:18,262
[Vic] Maybe the dating advice
wasn't sound by Jacy Jayne,

735
00:43:18,329 --> 00:43:22,032
so how would you rate the dating advice
given to Thea Hail?

736
00:43:22,099 --> 00:43:23,834
[Byron] I think
perhaps it was misinterpreted.

737
00:43:23,901 --> 00:43:25,269
[Vic] Okay, that's fair.

738
00:43:25,336 --> 00:43:27,838
[Byron] This is new ground for Thea Hail.

739
00:43:27,905 --> 00:43:30,174
I gather she doesn't go on many dates,

740
00:43:30,240 --> 00:43:33,177
I think Jacy Jayne
has her best intentions,

741
00:43:33,243 --> 00:43:37,948
but I think perhaps Thea Hail
took it a little to the extreme,

742
00:43:38,015 --> 00:43:40,117
making super awkward for Riley Osborne.

743
00:43:40,184 --> 00:43:42,019
-[Vic] Sax Lover, huh?
-[Byron] Sax Lover.

744
00:43:42,086 --> 00:43:44,622
[Vic] I can't wait to get a text message
from Corey Graves here

745
00:43:44,688 --> 00:43:45,522
in about ten minutes,

746
00:43:45,589 --> 00:43:48,692
but there's a lot on the plate
for Jacy Jayne as well,

747
00:43:48,759 --> 00:43:50,527
and you can take a look at the advice,
you can agree with it,

748
00:43:50,594 --> 00:43:53,764
you can disagree with it,
but you can't argue the fact.

749
00:43:53,831 --> 00:43:58,102
Jacy Jayne single-handedly
saved Chase University.

750
00:43:58,168 --> 00:44:00,971
[Byron] And I said it last week,
and I'll say it again this week,

751
00:44:01,038 --> 00:44:02,306
in my humble opinion,

752
00:44:02,373 --> 00:44:05,075
-Jacy Jayne is the…
-[Vic] Cover.

753
00:44:05,142 --> 00:44:08,445
[Byron] …new MVP of Chase U,

754
00:44:08,512 --> 00:44:13,384
because of the fact she was able to save
this institution of higher learning.

755
00:44:13,450 --> 00:44:16,887
[Vic] Chase University is able to become
the new number one contenders

756
00:44:16,954 --> 00:44:19,990
for the Tag Team titles,
thanks to the two putts,

757
00:44:20,057 --> 00:44:22,526
and I don't think
this has ever worked out well

758
00:44:22,593 --> 00:44:24,728
for Grace who goes throat first

759
00:44:24,795 --> 00:44:28,766
over that middle rope right in front
of Nyx and Thea Hail.

760
00:44:30,300 --> 00:44:32,603
-[referee] Two…
-[Vic] Jacy Jayne…

761
00:44:32,670 --> 00:44:34,171
[Byron]
Hoping for a little assistance there.

762
00:44:34,238 --> 00:44:37,141
[Vic] She doesn't wanna get disqualified.
The official's looking right at Thea Hail.

763
00:44:37,207 --> 00:44:40,544
[Byron] Smart from Thea Hail. Yeah,
don't put your hands on Arianna Grace.

764
00:44:40,611 --> 00:44:42,012
[Vic] Well, Jayne now going
to the outside.

765
00:44:42,079 --> 00:44:44,148
She's going to get Grace
back into the ring.

766
00:44:44,848 --> 00:44:48,118
Go on. What's up with me?

767
00:44:48,185 --> 00:44:49,753
I want to talk about Thea Hail, though,
for a second.

768
00:44:49,820 --> 00:44:53,457
She should be worried after her date
with Osborne, Valentine's Day.

769
00:44:53,524 --> 00:44:55,826
[Byron]
There is a little room for concern,

770
00:44:55,893 --> 00:44:58,162
but I feel like if they have
another outing together,

771
00:44:58,228 --> 00:45:00,164
they can clear up some misunderstandings.

772
00:45:00,230 --> 00:45:02,366
Thea Hail now
has a lay of the land a little bit,

773
00:45:02,433 --> 00:45:04,468
and will have a much better experience.

774
00:45:04,535 --> 00:45:07,471
[Vic] I don't know, man.
I told you two weeks ago, cuffing season.

775
00:45:07,538 --> 00:45:10,307
[Byron] No, and what did I tell you?
Mini golf.

776
00:45:10,374 --> 00:45:11,875
[Vic] Oh, that was a senton.

777
00:45:11,942 --> 00:45:15,212
That's a cover, a hook to the leg,
and a near fall.

778
00:45:15,279 --> 00:45:17,581
[Byron] Never been on a mini golf date
that went wrong.

779
00:45:20,217 --> 00:45:22,119
[Vic] Well, shoulders being shifted here
by Grace,

780
00:45:22,186 --> 00:45:27,024
and when it comes to this match up,
Grace talked herself into it.

781
00:45:27,858 --> 00:45:29,927
And it's one more time
as her shoulders down again.

782
00:45:29,993 --> 00:45:32,262
Nice job by Jacy Jayne
not to have to relinquish

783
00:45:32,329 --> 00:45:33,831
the hold and cover of her own.

784
00:45:33,897 --> 00:45:36,233
Crucifix-esque kicking out was Grace.

785
00:45:36,300 --> 00:45:40,738
She again talks herself into issues
that maybe she doesn't need to be.

786
00:45:40,804 --> 00:45:45,142
[Byron] Well, despite my scorecard, yes,
that is a slight flaw of Arianna Grace.

787
00:45:45,209 --> 00:45:48,045
Sometimes her mouth and mind
are not on the same page.

788
00:45:48,112 --> 00:45:49,480
[Vic] Well, why not just stay quiet?

789
00:45:49,546 --> 00:45:51,281
I mean, you don't always need
to voice your opinion,

790
00:45:51,348 --> 00:45:53,884
off the elbow, into the cover.
Jayne kicks off.

791
00:45:53,951 --> 00:45:57,488
Like Booker T says, "Mind your business."

792
00:45:57,554 --> 00:46:00,691
[Byron] This is a world
where you are judged

793
00:46:00,758 --> 00:46:04,361
and graded on your verbal ability
as well as your invulnerability.

794
00:46:04,428 --> 00:46:07,898
So Arianna Grace is using
all of her attributes

795
00:46:07,965 --> 00:46:10,834
to succeed in our world.

796
00:46:10,901 --> 00:46:12,102
Why are you looking down on her?

797
00:46:12,169 --> 00:46:13,537
[Vic] Well, it's quite a match up
we have had here,

798
00:46:13,604 --> 00:46:17,174
and to be fair, Grace has really answered
the bell since the beginning,

799
00:46:17,241 --> 00:46:21,845
but just unceremoniously dumped
by Jacy Jayne,

800
00:46:21,912 --> 00:46:23,180
who goes back to the outside,

801
00:46:23,247 --> 00:46:25,749
of course, NXT Women's Championship
match up still to come,

802
00:46:25,816 --> 00:46:28,085
Shotzi challenging Lyra Valkyria.

803
00:46:28,152 --> 00:46:30,954
Nice sharp elbow by Jacy Jayne.

804
00:46:31,021 --> 00:46:33,957
Come on, Jacy. Get in the ring.

805
00:46:34,024 --> 00:46:36,527
Right in front of Nyx,
in front of Thea Hail.

806
00:46:36,593 --> 00:46:40,130
-Jayne again charging out.
-[Byron] Oh. Jacy gotta chill.

807
00:46:40,197 --> 00:46:45,636
[Vic] One more time. She's trying to…
Jazmyn Nyx!

808
00:46:45,702 --> 00:46:48,906
[Byron] Apparently, Jazmyn got the message
from Jacy Jayne.

809
00:46:48,972 --> 00:46:51,708
[Vic] Thea Hail did not…
It's really not her MO to cut corners,

810
00:46:51,775 --> 00:46:56,580
but the door open in this match,
just got slammed shut.

811
00:46:56,647 --> 00:46:58,115
-[bell ringing]
-[Byron] Now you see why.

812
00:46:59,950 --> 00:47:03,854
[Alicia] Here is your winner, Jacy Jayne!

813
00:47:04,755 --> 00:47:06,423
[Vic] Jayne tried to run the play twice.

814
00:47:06,490 --> 00:47:10,294
It didn't work the first time,
but she probably executed the second.

815
00:47:10,360 --> 00:47:11,995
[Byron] Need a new player to get it done.

816
00:47:12,996 --> 00:47:15,132
You would think that Jacy
would know Thea Hail by now,

817
00:47:15,199 --> 00:47:17,100
and that Thea would…
Oh, that was interesting.

818
00:47:18,135 --> 00:47:20,704
Thea would not opt for those antics but…

to come up roses here at NXT.

00:47:31,815 --> 00:47:35,752
that's just the first win possibly
for Chase U here tonight.

-Yeah, sit down.

Don, I gave everything I had out there
last week.

825
00:48:00,877 --> 00:48:02,346
I know, Riz, I know.

826
00:48:02,412 --> 00:48:04,882
Look, it was your first singles match.

827
00:48:04,948 --> 00:48:07,417
It was a pretty good showing, all right?
Don't get down about it.

828

-Stacks?
-Don, last week was on me.

-No, we're not. Not now.
-What?

831
00:48:18,729 --> 00:48:21,498
Look, after we lost,
I was doing some thinking,

832
00:48:21,565 --> 00:48:25,302
and over the past six months,
I lost track of the bigger picture.

833
00:48:25,369 --> 00:48:27,371
Don, what do you mean?

834
00:48:27,904 --> 00:48:30,407

We're the D'Angelo family.

839

So, listen, it's time I lead the family
in the right direction, all right?

00:48:45,856 --> 00:48:47,924
In a new direction.

No more community vote.

No more feedback, no more opinions.
We do this thing my way.

843
00:48:53,463 --> 00:48:56,266
And if you don't like it, too bad.

844
00:48:57,534 --> 00:48:59,803
I need you to inform
the rest of the family.

845
00:48:59,870 --> 00:49:02,372
And if they don't like it, let me know.

846

Duke Hudson and Andre Chase.

[Vic] Big stakes here tonight.

859
00:50:00,364 --> 00:50:05,836
Who will be the first team to challenge
Bron Breakker and Baron Corbin,

860
00:50:05,902 --> 00:50:09,406
the Wolf dogs, for the NXT Tag Team titles?

861
00:50:09,473 --> 00:50:13,343
We find out next, right here on NXT.

862
00:50:17,581 --> 00:50:20,083
Ridge, we sat down about a month ago

863
00:50:20,150 --> 00:50:23,720
where you poured your heart out
to the WWE universe.

864
00:50:23,787 --> 00:50:25,422
We got an inside look at your life.

865
00:50:25,489 --> 00:50:27,024
We talked about
some of the unfortunate events

866
00:50:27,090 --> 00:50:27,958
in your career.

867
00:50:28,024 --> 00:50:31,261
Now we're back here
after the Gallus Gauntlet match

00:50:31,328 --> 00:50:32,929

00:50:46,843 --> 00:50:51,048
Sarah, when we spoke last,
people saw a different side of me.

871
00:50:51,114 --> 00:50:55,285
But I still can't get that smell, that…

872
00:50:55,352 --> 00:50:58,688
That stench of misfortune off me.

873
00:50:59,389 --> 00:51:02,559
Gallus took my surgically repaired leg,

874
00:51:03,293 --> 00:51:07,097
put it in a chair, and they smashed it.

875
00:51:07,164 --> 00:51:11,468
[audience jarring]

876
00:51:12,803 --> 00:51:14,471
But that's fine. That's okay, right?

877
00:51:16,039 --> 00:51:21,878
But when I get that chair in my hands
and I use it, it becomes a weapon.

878
00:51:22,446 --> 00:51:24,481
I can't even fight fire with fire.

879
00:51:24,548 --> 00:51:28,452
I can't even defend myself
without people judging me.

880
00:51:30,187 --> 00:51:34,791
So I'm gonna try this once more.
But this isn't the forum to do it.

881
00:51:35,325 --> 00:51:39,496
I'm sorry, Sarah. So next week on NXT,

882
00:51:39,563 --> 00:51:42,532
I will address the WWE universe.

883
00:51:42,999 --> 00:51:47,604
And I will apologize for all of my actions
even if no one cares,

884
00:51:47,671 --> 00:51:49,439
even if no one gives a damn.

885
00:51:49,506 --> 00:51:55,212
Because the man that I am,
with that chair in hand,

886
00:51:55,278 --> 00:52:00,517
is not the man I am in everyday life.

887
00:52:08,959 --> 00:52:10,427
I guess we're done.

888
00:52:12,395 --> 00:52:14,664
[Vic] Obviously, a lot on the mind
of Ridge Holland,

00:52:14,731 --> 00:52:17,167

[Alicia] And their opponents,
the team of Nathan Frazer and Axiom.

895
00:52:55,338 --> 00:52:59,242
[Vic] Byron, both teams,
they made cases for themselves.

896
00:52:59,309 --> 00:53:02,746
They made very good cases
for themselves earlier tonight.

897
00:53:04,181 --> 00:53:09,319
And for Axiom and Fraser, they believe
they're due a title opportunity

898
00:53:09,386 --> 00:53:12,656
because they pushed the Wolf dogs
to the limit

899
00:53:12,722 --> 00:53:14,291
in the Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic.

900
00:53:14,357 --> 00:53:17,727
Chase U, they believe
they're owed a title opportunity

901
00:53:17,794 --> 00:53:19,696
because of a deal made
with the previous champions.

902
00:53:19,763 --> 00:53:24,301
[Byron] Okay, so Axiom and Nathan Fraser,
I believe, have a stronger argument.

903
00:53:24,367 --> 00:53:28,305
Yes, they were the ones that lost
to the eventual Dusty Cup winners

905
00:53:30,006 --> 00:53:33,710
As it relates to Chase U, yeah,
you made a deal with The Family.

906
00:53:33,777 --> 00:53:36,146
The Family are no longer
the Tag Team Champions.

907
00:53:36,212 --> 00:53:40,317
This isn't the NBA where a new team adopts
the player's contract once you get traded.

That backdoor deal is done.
It is finished.

909
00:53:43,787 --> 00:53:47,223

that chance like any other team.

-[Byron] Yeah.

00:53:53,263 --> 00:53:55,031
Ava could have come out here and said,
"No, Chase U,

914
00:53:55,098 --> 00:53:57,567
I don't care about the previous deal.
You're not getting an opportunity."

He's for a half second with Thea Hail.

from his point of view.

922
00:54:18,221 --> 00:54:21,091
[Byron] He's probably a little perplexed,
a little confused. He thought…

923
00:54:21,157 --> 00:54:22,692
[Vic] You should go help him out.
You've been in his shoes.

924
00:54:22,759 --> 00:54:24,694
[Byron] Look, I'll tell him the same thing
I told you.

Take the girl out for some mini golf.

926

-[Vic] Mini golf is not the answer, Byron.

927
00:54:30,166 --> 00:54:33,003
This could be the answer and a quick cover
but a quick kick out.

928

There's Axiom picking the ankle
one more time back on top.

Quick kick out by Chase.

930

Both men had the same idea
of the dropkick.

Good to see Chase U back in the mix.

935
00:54:53,023 --> 00:54:54,758
[Vic] Well, I'm glad you bring that up
because how good is it

936
00:54:54,824 --> 00:54:58,495
to see Chase U back at full strength,
as they declared earlier tonight?

937
00:54:58,561 --> 00:55:00,664
[Byron] I'm just happy to see
that Andre Chase finally got a haircut.

00:55:00,730 --> 00:55:02,599
[Vic] [laughing] What do you mean by that?

939
00:55:02,666 --> 00:55:03,533
[Byron] Saw him the last…

940
00:55:03,600 --> 00:55:05,602
[Vic] Well, that is true.
He was pretty disheveled.

941
00:55:05,669 --> 00:55:08,271
Yeah, yeah, yeah. You're right.
Tag made and committed.

942
00:55:08,338 --> 00:55:12,108
And Frazer and Andre Chase now,
before mentioned, is in a lot of trouble.

943
00:55:12,175 --> 00:55:15,278
And look at Axiom.
Look at Nathan with a quick DDT.

944
00:55:16,012 --> 00:55:19,082
They're coming right back in.
Standing shooting star, got all of it.

945
00:55:19,149 --> 00:55:22,719
Will it be enough? And Duke Hudson
almost had to run some interference.

946
00:55:23,420 --> 00:55:24,954
And a kick out by Andre Chase.

947
00:55:25,021 --> 00:55:28,858
And granted, Jacy Jayne
did cut a corner earlier tonight.

948
00:55:28,925 --> 00:55:31,461
But she has some bonus points right now
with Chase U.

949
00:55:31,528 --> 00:55:35,565
This could be a big Chase University night
as the MVP into the ring.

950
00:55:35,632 --> 00:55:40,070
[Byron] Well, the current MVP in some
people's eyes. I mean, Duke Hudson.

951
00:55:40,136 --> 00:55:44,140
But this could be an incredible,
redemptive story for Chase U.

952
00:55:44,207 --> 00:55:46,042
Facing debt. Coming back.

953
00:55:46,109 --> 00:55:50,213
And now Duke Hudson, Andre Chase
could be on the verge of…

954
00:55:50,280 --> 00:55:52,048
[Vic] Into the cover.
Becoming the number one contender.

955
00:55:52,115 --> 00:55:52,982
And a kick out.

956
00:55:53,049 --> 00:55:57,220
[Byron] Could be on the verge
of regaining the NXT Tag Team titles.

957
00:55:57,287 --> 00:55:59,089
[Vic] Be a two-time Tag Team Champions.

958
00:55:59,155 --> 00:56:01,758
Nathan, though,
with a different vantage point

959
00:56:01,825 --> 00:56:03,026
of what he wants to do in this match up.

960
00:56:03,093 --> 00:56:05,195
He's going to have to quicken
the pace in there.

961
00:56:05,261 --> 00:56:06,996
With a superstar much larger than him.

962
00:56:07,831 --> 00:56:10,600
And big Duke Hudson.
And Axiom the same way on the outside.

963
00:56:10,667 --> 00:56:13,036
That's the game plan. And here comes
that pace starting to quicken.

964
00:56:13,103 --> 00:56:16,773
Never slow down.
That's the motto of the man.

965
00:56:16,840 --> 00:56:19,409
Who moves like a blur
and strikes like a cobra.

966
00:56:19,476 --> 00:56:21,911
But just got ran over by a bulldozer.

967
00:56:21,978 --> 00:56:24,714
[Byron] No replacement for brute strength.

968
00:56:24,781 --> 00:56:28,952
Axiom and Nathan Frazer perhaps
the fastest tag team currently in NXT.

969
00:56:29,018 --> 00:56:32,355
But he ran into a brick wall
in the form of Duke Hudson.

970
00:56:32,422 --> 00:56:34,324
[Vic] Frazer goes up and over.
I don't know if you realize it.

971
00:56:34,390 --> 00:56:38,027
A tag was made. Axiom is legal.
Hudson realized it. He pays the price.

972
00:56:38,094 --> 00:56:39,562
[Byron] That's how quick they are.
I didn't even realize it.

973
00:56:39,629 --> 00:56:42,399
[Vic] Andre Chase trying to get back
to a vertical base.

974
00:56:42,465 --> 00:56:45,268
Axiom now looking
for a two-for-one special.

975
00:56:45,335 --> 00:56:47,404
Takes down Chase University.

976
00:56:48,204 --> 00:56:51,808
And the former Tag Team Champions
right now are reeling.

977
00:56:51,875 --> 00:56:55,378
It's all about becoming
the number one contenders.

978
00:56:55,445 --> 00:56:59,048
First there was Axiom.
Andre Chase. There goes Frazer.

979
00:57:00,150 --> 00:57:04,320
-Look who's standing tall. One more time.
-[Byron] Jeez.

980
00:57:05,688 --> 00:57:08,591
[Vic] They said they never slow down.
They never back down.

981
00:57:08,658 --> 00:57:10,360
They got the heart of a champion.

982
00:57:10,426 --> 00:57:13,663
And they're three seconds away
from becoming the number one contenders.

983
00:57:13,730 --> 00:57:16,065
Can Axiom and Frazer do it tonight?

984
00:57:18,501 --> 00:57:19,536
Back on NXT.

985
00:57:19,602 --> 00:57:22,806
These two Tag Teams Chase U,
Axiom and Frazer

986
00:57:22,872 --> 00:57:25,341
competing to become
the number one contenders

987
00:57:25,408 --> 00:57:29,446
to challenge Bron and Baron
for the NXT Tag Team titles.

988
00:57:29,512 --> 00:57:33,683
Nice half and half. Snap suplex.
Double super kicks under the jaw.

989
00:57:33,750 --> 00:57:37,787
And this could be the moment
to face the Wolf dogs.

990
00:57:37,854 --> 00:57:40,123
And Andre Chase just kicking out.

991
00:57:40,190 --> 00:57:43,326
This match up was made earlier
by our General Manager Ava,

992
00:57:43,393 --> 00:57:48,631
after both teams confronted the champions,
center of the ring, made their case,

993
00:57:48,698 --> 00:57:50,266
which has brought us to this match up.

994
00:57:50,333 --> 00:57:53,870
And look, these are two teams
that just have a lot in common.

995
00:57:53,937 --> 00:57:57,040
[Byron] Both extremely hungry
to be tag team champions

996
00:57:57,106 --> 00:57:59,008
who made the point
that there wasn't a whole lot of time

997
00:57:59,075 --> 00:58:00,777
to get ready to prepare for this match.

998
00:58:00,844 --> 00:58:03,346
They both came out here, made their case.

999
00:58:03,413 --> 00:58:05,782
Ava made the call.
They had to quickly adjust

1000
00:58:05,849 --> 00:58:09,285
and take advantage of the opportunity
that's presented before them.

1001
00:58:09,352 --> 00:58:12,322
[Vic] And the speed in this match up
from Frazer and Axiom

1002
00:58:12,388 --> 00:58:13,857
has been on display.

1003
00:58:13,923 --> 00:58:19,229
But there was heads up
from Andre Chase to drop Frazer.

1004
00:58:19,295 --> 00:58:22,699
And this now,
the pivotal point in this match up.

1005
00:58:24,234 --> 00:58:26,236
[Byron] The race is on.
Who's going to get tagged first?

1006
00:58:26,302 --> 00:58:29,072
-Axiom, no, Duke Hudson.
-[Vic] Both want gold.

1007
00:58:29,138 --> 00:58:30,707
Both say they never quit.

1008
00:58:30,773 --> 00:58:34,310
Only one will become
the number one contenders

1009
00:58:34,377 --> 00:58:36,346
to the NXT Tag Team titles.

1010
00:58:36,412 --> 00:58:41,718
And it's the MVP
mowing down the competition.

1011
00:58:41,784 --> 00:58:45,021
Axiom tried to fly in.
He gets caught, swatted.

1012
00:58:45,088 --> 00:58:47,724
But wait a minute,
able to land on his feet.

1013
00:58:49,459 --> 00:58:52,529
Charging right in
and just got caught and dropped.

1014
00:58:52,595 --> 00:58:55,632
And that's just the power
that Duke Hudson possesses.

1015
00:58:56,399 --> 00:58:59,102
[Byron] Axiom and Frazer
getting a taste of it.

1016
00:58:59,168 --> 00:59:02,639
[audience chanting]

1017
00:59:03,406 --> 00:59:05,575
[Vic] And Chase U is rocking it.

1018
00:59:05,642 --> 00:59:10,213
This is a side of Chase U
we haven't seen in such a long time.

1019
00:59:10,280 --> 00:59:14,551
A senton, gut buster combination,
whatever the hell it was.

1020
00:59:14,617 --> 00:59:16,619
Will it be enough? And Axiom kicking out.

1021
00:59:16,686 --> 00:59:18,755
[Byron] Almost worked well enough
to win this match.

1022
00:59:18,821 --> 00:59:20,490
[Vic] And there's Riley Osborne.

1023
00:59:22,225 --> 00:59:25,695
Shouting out words of encouragement.
Great job by our camera crew to catch.

1024
00:59:25,762 --> 00:59:27,997
I mean, that was innovative.

1025
00:59:28,064 --> 00:59:29,866
[Byron] Sometimes
that's what you got to do.

1026
00:59:29,933 --> 00:59:34,370
Bring out new maneuvers.
Done the final stretch to secure the win.

1027
00:59:35,171 --> 00:59:39,208
[Vic] And speaking of securing the win,
Hudson looking for that Razor's Edge.

1028
00:59:39,275 --> 00:59:40,476
Countered!

1029
00:59:41,244 --> 00:59:43,713
Axiom wisely makes the tag.

1030
00:59:43,780 --> 00:59:46,649
I don't think Hudson realizes.
Frazer's legal.

1031
00:59:46,716 --> 00:59:49,452
If he didn't know it, he knows it now
for that missile dropkick.

1032
00:59:49,519 --> 00:59:50,920
Another quick tag was made.

1033
00:59:51,454 --> 00:59:54,857
[Byron] It's a commoner to keep track
of Axiom and Nathan Frazer

1034
00:59:54,924 --> 00:59:56,392
as quick as these guys move.

1035
00:59:56,459 --> 00:59:58,061
[Vic] But it's interesting
that Axiom and Frazer

1036
00:59:58,127 --> 01:00:00,330
just put Hudson in Hudson's own corner.

1037
01:00:00,396 --> 01:00:02,131
Riley Osborne beside himself.

1038
01:00:02,198 --> 01:00:04,734
I think he's trying to get
Andre Chase back to his feet

1039
01:00:04,801 --> 01:00:08,705
because this is a dire situation
if you're Duke.

1040
01:00:09,372 --> 01:00:11,641
[Byron] Axiom's got to understand
he can't waste any time.

1041
01:00:11,708 --> 01:00:16,112
He's got to have a sense of urgency
against Duke Hudson raising the stakes.

1042
01:00:16,179 --> 01:00:17,880
-[Vic] Byron, Byron, Byron.
-[Byron] Top rope.

1043
01:00:18,681 --> 01:00:21,517
[Vic] Can Axiom hit the Spanish fly?

1044
01:00:22,618 --> 01:00:27,557
He got all of it
to become the number one contender.

1045
01:00:28,424 --> 01:00:29,525
-[Byron] Nope.
-[Vic] [laughing] Ow.

1046
01:00:29,592 --> 01:00:30,526
[Byron] Nope.

1047
01:00:32,228 --> 01:00:34,397
This is a gift for us, okay?
This battle continues.

1048
01:00:34,464 --> 01:00:36,899
[Vic] You can see it in Axiom's eyes.

1049
01:00:36,966 --> 01:00:41,638
He hit this picture perfect
Spanish fly on Duke Hudson.

1050
01:00:41,704 --> 01:00:44,941
It didn't keep Hudson down.
Back to the live action, though.

1051
01:00:45,008 --> 01:00:49,012
Hudson is rising in the ashes,
trying to get to his feet.

1052
01:00:49,078 --> 01:00:52,081
And he's absorbing.
He's absorbing all these kicks, Byron.

1053
01:00:52,148 --> 01:00:53,783
[Byron] For how long, though, Vic?

1054
01:00:55,318 --> 01:00:57,120
[Vic] Double clothesline.

1055
01:00:57,754 --> 01:01:02,225
Showing you why he is the MVP of Chase U.

1056
01:01:05,094 --> 01:01:08,097
High cross body.
Andre Chase. Frazer rolled through.

1057
01:01:08,164 --> 01:01:10,600
-Frazer rolled through.
-[Byron] Oh.

1058
01:01:10,667 --> 01:01:13,403
[Vic] Chase able to kick out.
Big kick upside the noggin.

1059
01:01:13,469 --> 01:01:16,673
Backfist, though,
connects right on the jaw.

1060
01:01:16,739 --> 01:01:19,108
Counter for a moment. Sit down. Sit down.

1061
01:01:19,942 --> 01:01:23,112
Another counter. Another near-fall.

1062
01:01:23,179 --> 01:01:25,314
Jackknife cover this time.
Chase rolls through.

1063
01:01:25,381 --> 01:01:27,583
He's got the feet. Is it enough?
And Frazer.

1064
01:01:27,650 --> 01:01:28,484
[bell ringing]

1065
01:01:28,551 --> 01:01:29,786
[Vic] Andre Chase did it.

1066
01:01:29,852 --> 01:01:30,920
["Accomplished" playing]

1067
01:01:30,987 --> 01:01:35,491
[Alicia] Here are the winners,
Chase University.

1068
01:01:35,558 --> 01:01:40,430
The momentum continuing to build

1069
01:01:40,496 --> 01:01:42,999
for Chase U.

1070
01:01:43,066 --> 01:01:48,204
[Byron] Everything is falling
in the right place for Chase U.

1071
01:01:48,271 --> 01:01:53,976
And now these two are one win away
from their championship aspirations.

1072
01:01:54,043 --> 01:01:57,580
[Vic] Axiom, though, is so close.
Hit that Spanish fly.

1073
01:01:57,647 --> 01:01:59,382
Duke Hudson would kick out.

1074
01:01:59,449 --> 01:02:02,885
And then here,
the closing moments of this match up.

1075
01:02:02,952 --> 01:02:06,589
Andre Chase, Nathan Frazer back and forth.

1076
01:02:06,656 --> 01:02:11,761
And right there,
Nathan Frazer just got caught for a hair.

1077
01:02:11,828 --> 01:02:15,565
-Second for our new number one contender.
-[Byron] What the…?

1078
01:02:18,167 --> 01:02:22,939
[Vic] That's Luke Gallows
and Karl Anderson from Smack Down.

1079
01:02:23,005 --> 01:02:28,244
-[Byron] The OC just dropping everybody.
-[Vic] Literally everyone.

1080
01:02:30,012 --> 01:02:32,348
Both teams. And now…

1081
01:02:32,415 --> 01:02:35,017
[audience chanting]

1082
01:02:35,084 --> 01:02:36,519
…Magic Killer.

1083
01:02:41,090 --> 01:02:47,230
And for a team that has dominated
around the world,

1084
01:02:47,296 --> 01:02:48,731
Gallows and Anderson.

1085
01:02:50,833 --> 01:02:54,270
But why are they here in NXT?

1086
01:03:05,214 --> 01:03:06,783
Carmelo Hayes.

1087
01:03:07,750 --> 01:03:10,987
Since day one, I saw right through you.

1088
01:03:11,053 --> 01:03:14,490
The jealousy of your best friend
consumed you.

1089
01:03:14,557 --> 01:03:19,762
And you pointed the finger at me?
You are the complete opposite.

1090
01:03:20,429 --> 01:03:22,565
You are a coward.

1091
01:03:23,166 --> 01:03:27,370
Attacking Trick from behind
and doing the same thing to me.

1092
01:03:27,970 --> 01:03:32,108
Melo, you are the lowest form of life.

1093
01:03:32,608 --> 01:03:35,378
A rodent emerging
under the cover of night.

1094
01:03:35,444 --> 01:03:39,015
But I have what you seek.

1095
01:03:40,082 --> 01:03:45,054
Though I will see you at Roadblock
under one condition.

1096
01:03:46,122 --> 01:03:51,594
Show up next week
and meet me face to face.

1097
01:03:57,133 --> 01:04:00,203
Melo, come for this championship.

1098
01:04:00,269 --> 01:04:04,941
Because I'm coming
for something more important.

1099
01:04:06,275 --> 01:04:07,276
Your soul.

1100
01:04:14,717 --> 01:04:18,087
[Vic] Melo may regret firing up
the Mad Dragon.

1101
01:04:32,368 --> 01:04:35,872
[Alicia] The following contest
is scheduled for one fall.

1102
01:04:35,938 --> 01:04:40,843
Introducing first,
accompanied by Jakara Jackson,

1103
01:04:40,910 --> 01:04:46,816
representing Meta-Four, Lash Legend.

1104
01:04:48,918 --> 01:04:53,022
[Vic] Lash Legend goes one on one
with Kelani Jordan.

1105
01:04:53,089 --> 01:04:55,324
This match up is next.

1106
01:05:01,297 --> 01:05:05,201
I don't know what's gotten into them.
They're supposed to be like brothers.

1107
01:05:06,802 --> 01:05:08,471
[Thea sighing]

1108
01:05:09,205 --> 01:05:11,540
-You too?
-Yep.

1109
01:05:12,108 --> 01:05:13,042
How are you?

1110
01:05:14,010 --> 01:05:18,180
Well, tonight I watched
my two best friends

1111
01:05:18,247 --> 01:05:20,116
beat the living hell out of each other.

1112
01:05:20,182 --> 01:05:23,586
And I can't seem to get my feet under me
to save my life.

1113
01:05:23,653 --> 01:05:27,356
-So, yeah. Rough.
-That sucks.

1114
01:05:28,357 --> 01:05:29,926
The only positive thing in my life
right now

1115
01:05:29,992 --> 01:05:32,194
is that Mr. Chase and Duke
have a shot at the Tag Team titles.

1116
01:05:32,261 --> 01:05:35,131
But the OC already knocked them
on their butts.

1117
01:05:35,197 --> 01:05:39,201
So, Mr. Chase probably deserved it.
Don't get me started on Mr. Chase.

1118
01:05:39,268 --> 01:05:42,972
But everything else sucks.

1119
01:05:43,039 --> 01:05:44,307
My best friend's acting weird with me.

1120
01:05:44,373 --> 01:05:46,108
She gave me advice.
I probably took it a little too literally.

1121
01:05:46,175 --> 01:05:48,311
Because I do that apparently.

1122
01:05:48,377 --> 01:05:50,846
I went on a date with Riley.
You probably know him.

1123
01:05:50,913 --> 01:05:53,616
It didn't go so well.
It was for Valentine's Day.

1124
01:05:53,683 --> 01:05:57,219
It went worse than that, so it was awful.

1125
01:05:57,286 --> 01:06:00,589
I think I ruined everything.

1126
01:06:01,490 --> 01:06:03,793
Valentine's Day strikes again.

1127
01:06:04,627 --> 01:06:09,065
If there's anyone that knows anything
about a terrible Valentine's Day, it's me.

1128
01:06:09,131 --> 01:06:10,266
Really?

1129
01:06:10,333 --> 01:06:15,071
If I could erase February 14th, 2023
from my memory forever, I would.

1130
01:06:16,806 --> 01:06:18,975
-Why don't we go take a walk?
-Okay.

1131
01:06:19,041 --> 01:06:22,011
So last year, Brooks,
he was dating Kiana James,

1132
01:06:22,078 --> 01:06:24,680
and it turned into a terrible situation.

1133
01:06:24,747 --> 01:06:27,283
[Vic] Now that is a locker room leader.

1134
01:06:27,917 --> 01:06:33,255
[Alicia] And her opponent, Kelani Jordan.

1135
01:06:33,322 --> 01:06:39,829

01:07:07,623 --> 01:07:10,860
You know, for Kelani Jordan,
a lot of shade

1143
01:07:10,926 --> 01:07:13,429
was thrown in the locker room last week.

1144
01:07:13,496 --> 01:07:15,498
A lot of shade thrown her way.

1145
01:07:15,564 --> 01:07:19,435
That's not very easy for someone
like Kelani Jordan and others to handle.

1146
01:07:19,502 --> 01:07:21,537
[Byron] But it is to be expected.

1147
01:07:21,604 --> 01:07:23,139
You know, for someone like Kelani Jordan,

1148
01:07:23,205 --> 01:07:27,209
who's received a lot of praise
for what she's been doing in that ring.

1149
01:07:27,276 --> 01:07:28,344
Every time you try to succeed,

1150
01:07:28,411 --> 01:07:31,447
there's always a Lash Legend
that's there to knock you down a peg.

1151
01:07:31,514 --> 01:07:32,548
To try to humble you.

1152
01:07:32,615 --> 01:07:34,650
[Vic] There's that trash-talking
continue from the Lash Legend.

1153
01:07:34,717 --> 01:07:36,185
Kelani Jordan's not going to stand by.

1154
01:07:36,252 --> 01:07:38,521
She's not going to listen to any of it.
She's not going to stand for any of it.

1155
01:07:38,587 --> 01:07:41,257
I talked about Fallon Henley
becoming a locker room leader.

1156
01:07:41,323 --> 01:07:43,492
Kelani Jordan somewhat
has established herself

1157
01:07:43,559 --> 01:07:46,829
at a very short time also
as a leader in the locker room.

1158
01:07:46,896 --> 01:07:49,698
[Byron] And the reason that is,
is that when you look at very early,

1159
01:07:49,765 --> 01:07:51,600
which is still kind of early
in Kelani Jordan's career,

1160
01:07:51,667 --> 01:07:54,503
she had the opportunity
to team up with veterans,

1161
01:07:54,570 --> 01:07:57,606
to pick their brains,
learn how you should carry yourself early.

1162
01:07:57,673 --> 01:08:01,944
And that's why Kelani Jordan
has not only earned a lot of respect.

1163
01:08:02,011 --> 01:08:05,014
[Vic] Roll through, shoulders down,
and a quick kick out by Lash.

1164
01:08:05,080 --> 01:08:08,150
[Byron] That's why we've also seen
immense growth from Kelani Jordan.

1165
01:08:08,217 --> 01:08:10,219
[Vic] And now crucifix pin, shoulders down

1166
01:08:10,286 --> 01:08:13,889
and another kick out by Lash Legend
in Kelani Jordan.

1167
01:08:13,956 --> 01:08:15,157
Full of positive energy.

1168
01:08:15,224 --> 01:08:18,194
It's truly hard not to gravitate
towards someone like that.

1169
01:08:18,894 --> 01:08:21,664
-[Vic] Oh, man.
-[Byron] Wow.

1170
01:08:22,965 --> 01:08:27,136
It's also hard to breathe
after you get kicked right in the gut.

1171
01:08:28,237 --> 01:08:30,606
As I was talking about,
it was Kelani who stood up for others

1172
01:08:30,673 --> 01:08:33,008
in the locker room like Brinley Reece.

1173
01:08:33,075 --> 01:08:37,313
But right here,
there's no standing for Kelani Jordan.

1174
01:08:37,379 --> 01:08:39,715
And that's the way Lash Legend likes it,

1175
01:08:39,782 --> 01:08:44,186
because she's not used
to someone snapping back at her.

1176
01:08:44,253 --> 01:08:45,888
[Byron] And think about
the other aspect of this.

1177
01:08:45,955 --> 01:08:49,492
It was Kiana James
kind of put Kelani on the radar by saying,

1178
01:08:49,558 --> 01:08:53,028
we want to take Kelani out
to achieve our goal

1179
01:08:53,095 --> 01:08:54,497
to become NXT Women's Champion.

1180
01:08:54,563 --> 01:08:56,932
So someone like Lash Legend,
her ears poked up.

1181
01:08:56,999 --> 01:08:58,868
Her radar went up and said,
"Wait a minute.

1182
01:08:58,934 --> 01:09:01,637
You should be talking
about me like that as a threat,

1183
01:09:01,704 --> 01:09:03,005
Kelani Jordan."

1184
01:09:03,072 --> 01:09:05,808
[Vic] Lash Legend now,
big splash center of the ring.

1185
01:09:05,875 --> 01:09:08,244
Hook to the leg
and Jordan able to kick out.

1186
01:09:08,310 --> 01:09:12,281
I mean, both women
have that alpha mentality, though.

1187
01:09:12,348 --> 01:09:14,216
And whether it's in the ring,
whether it's in training,

1188
01:09:14,283 --> 01:09:17,219
whether it was in college,
it's what's in their DNA.

1189
01:09:17,286 --> 01:09:19,288
Not to back down from anyone,

1190
01:09:19,355 --> 01:09:22,892
but Lash Legend right now
certainly is in full control.

1191
01:09:22,958 --> 01:09:28,664
[Byron] The attitude that Kelani Jordan
had in college as a gymnast.

1192
01:09:28,731 --> 01:09:34,603
The attitude that Lash Legend had
during her basketball days at Texas A&M.

1193
01:09:34,670 --> 01:09:37,373
[Vic] When you look at Meta-Four
and I'm sorry to cut you off,

1194
01:09:37,439 --> 01:09:40,009
but when you look at Meta-Four,
do they seem at edge?

1195
01:09:40,075 --> 01:09:42,077
And I don't just mean Lash Legend,
Jakara Jackson.

1196
01:09:42,144 --> 01:09:44,446
I'm also throwing in Noam Dar,
the Heritage Cup Champion.

1197
01:09:44,513 --> 01:09:46,015
I'm talking about Main Man Mensah

1198
01:09:46,081 --> 01:09:50,819
because No Quarter Catch Crew
is eyeing up that Heritage Cup.

1199
01:09:51,453 --> 01:09:54,657
[Byron] You don't have a numbers advantage
against a No Quarter Catch Crew.

1200
01:09:54,723 --> 01:09:58,894
That Meta-Four dominance that all four
of those competitors hope to establish.

1201
01:09:58,961 --> 01:10:01,297
Yeah, it's getting tested.
It's getting questioned.

1202
01:10:01,363 --> 01:10:05,000
[Vic] Kelani Jordan being tested right now
for her will and her spirit.

1203
01:10:05,067 --> 01:10:07,903
She's being bent in half
in the center of the ring.

1204
01:10:07,970 --> 01:10:12,541
And you just got to imagine Lash Legend
was able to grasp her hands tightly.

1205
01:10:12,608 --> 01:10:16,812
She could have done some severe damage,
but right there,

1206
01:10:16,879 --> 01:10:20,749
Lash is able to catch
much of the smiles of Jakara Jackson,

1207
01:10:20,816 --> 01:10:23,219
but the second splash doesn't work.

1208
01:10:23,285 --> 01:10:26,922
And this for Kelani Jordan
is that deep water moment.

1209
01:10:26,989 --> 01:10:29,825
Kelani Jordan has plenty
of big match experience.

1210
01:10:29,892 --> 01:10:31,594
Women's Iron Survivor match.

1211
01:10:31,660 --> 01:10:34,029
She's been under the premium event
bright lights.

1212
01:10:34,096 --> 01:10:37,433
She's battled through the breakout
tournament all the way to the finals,

1213
01:10:37,499 --> 01:10:40,803
but she's got to maybe find
a different gear here against Lash Legend.

1214
01:10:40,869 --> 01:10:42,771
[Byron] We're seeing
that different gear right now, Vic.

1215
01:10:43,305 --> 01:10:45,441
We're seeing
what Kelani Jordan has learned

1216
01:10:45,507 --> 01:10:47,876
from all the previous experience
that you've mentioned.

1217
01:10:47,943 --> 01:10:50,679
[Vic] Oh, Kelani gets caught.

1218
01:10:51,180 --> 01:10:54,316
Lash Legend
now trying to overpower Jordan.

1219
01:10:54,383 --> 01:10:56,652
Ooh. Landing on her feet.

1220
01:10:56,719 --> 01:10:59,255
That's that background
you talked about from college.

1221
01:10:59,321 --> 01:11:01,223
That gymnast background of the Big Ten.

1222
01:11:01,290 --> 01:11:05,094
In the fighting Spartan to the top,
looking down.

1223
01:11:05,160 --> 01:11:08,364
And a little extra "omph"
taking Lash Legend up and over.

1224
01:11:08,430 --> 01:11:10,432
[Byron] That back and all.

1225
01:11:10,499 --> 01:11:14,870
Got to be impressed
with what we're seeing from Kelani Jordan.

1226
01:11:14,937 --> 01:11:18,374
[Vic] Kelani back to her feet.
She's locked. She's reeling.

1227
01:11:18,440 --> 01:11:22,144
But she looks determined
to take down Lash Legend.

1228
01:11:23,012 --> 01:11:25,481
And the kick catches Lash under the jaw.

1229
01:11:25,547 --> 01:11:29,451
Oh. Look where Lash is at. Pinpoint. Hey!

1230
01:11:30,319 --> 01:11:31,520
[Byron] There goes Jakara Jackson.

1231
01:11:31,587 --> 01:11:34,657
[Vic] Oh, Jakara sticking her nose
where it doesn't belong.

1232
01:11:34,723 --> 01:11:41,730
And a big, massive Slam Dunk choke slam
from Lash Legend.

1233
01:11:41,797 --> 01:11:43,098
[bell ringing]

1234
01:11:43,165 --> 01:11:45,067
["What U Want" playing]

1235
01:11:45,134 --> 01:11:49,605
[Alicia] Here is your winner, Lash Legend.

1236
01:11:49,672 --> 01:11:54,576
[Vic] Brought up basketball earlier.
We'll give the assist to Jakara Jackson.

1237
01:11:54,643 --> 01:11:58,414
Momentary hesitation.
Momentary distraction, if you will.

1238
01:11:58,480 --> 01:12:00,549
Open the door. Bam!

1239
01:12:02,284 --> 01:12:08,857
With extra authority from Lash Legend
to put away Kelani Jordan.

1240
01:12:10,259 --> 01:12:11,994
Look who's here.

1241
01:12:13,429 --> 01:12:16,165
[Byron] Is she Kiana James?

1242
01:12:17,399 --> 01:12:18,467
For what?

1243
01:12:19,234 --> 01:12:25,107
Oh, I've… I've heard what Kiana James
has said about Kelani Jordan in the past.

1244
01:12:31,980 --> 01:12:35,084
[indistinct chatter]

1245
01:12:36,485 --> 01:12:39,855
[Vic] Look at Kelani. Taking on both.

1246
01:12:40,522 --> 01:12:43,392
Outsmarting Izzy and Kiana.

1247
01:12:43,459 --> 01:12:48,063
[Byron] Uh-huh. Okay. Okay, Kelani.
Fending off a two-on-one advantage.

1248
01:12:48,130 --> 01:12:51,734
["Out Of This World" is playing]

1249
01:12:52,367 --> 01:12:54,703
[Vic] Well, for those searching
for an opportunity

1250
01:12:54,770 --> 01:12:56,105
to a woman who has one,

1251
01:12:56,171 --> 01:13:00,409
Smack Down 's Shotzi looking for her
first singles championship in WWE,

1252
01:13:00,476 --> 01:13:05,047
while our champion looks to add
another black feather to her collection.

1253
01:13:05,114 --> 01:13:08,917
It's our main event
for the NXT Women's Title next.

1254
01:13:11,186 --> 01:13:14,356
-That's what we do.
-Luke Gallows, Karl Anderson.

1255
01:13:14,423 --> 01:13:17,192
A shocking return to NXT.

1256
01:13:17,259 --> 01:13:20,996
Yeah, sweet. Kelly, listen.
The boys are back in NXT.

1257
01:13:21,063 --> 01:13:23,499
And basically, we're gonna stay
as long as we want.

1258
01:13:23,565 --> 01:13:26,335
-Tell them, Big LG.
-I'm absolutely thrilled about it, Kelly.

1259
01:13:26,402 --> 01:13:29,438
I don't know if Chase U
is very thrilled about it.

1260
01:13:29,505 --> 01:13:31,473
But I was always a terrible student.

1261
01:13:31,540 --> 01:13:33,275
Yeah, yeah, yeah. You know, me too.

1262
01:13:33,342 --> 01:13:36,378
Although, I did enjoy
the calendar they put out.

1263
01:13:36,445 --> 01:13:38,347
Hey, Big LG.

1264
01:13:38,414 --> 01:13:41,216
When it comes
to the NXT Tag Team Championships,

1265
01:13:41,283 --> 01:13:44,486
-we're going to separate the men…
-That's us.

1266
01:13:45,888 --> 01:13:47,589
From the boys.

1267
01:13:48,357 --> 01:13:49,391
That's exactly right.

1268
01:13:49,458 --> 01:13:52,361
You know, Baron Corbin,
I didn't realize you came to NXT

1269
01:13:52,428 --> 01:13:54,797
-to become the world's largest comedian.
-Yeah.

1270
01:13:54,863 --> 01:13:58,233
And Bron Breakker, maybe the Good Brothers
can be something for you

1271
01:13:58,300 --> 01:14:01,804
that Big Papa Pump
and the Dog Face Gremlin never could.

1272
01:14:01,870 --> 01:14:03,872
A couple of heroes.

1273
01:14:03,939 --> 01:14:06,742
But before we do that, Kelly,
we have to crush their dreams.

1274
01:14:06,809 --> 01:14:08,644
And we're going to win
those NXT Tag Team titles

1275
01:14:08,710 --> 01:14:10,479
because it's that same old recipe.

1276
01:14:10,546 --> 01:14:16,218
It's a Magic Killer, a one, two, three,
and a just too sweet.

Hey, Kel-Kel, if you need us,
we'll be over there, brothering.

1278
01:14:20,622 --> 01:14:22,124
I hope you brought the cooler.

1279
01:14:23,759 --> 01:14:26,762
[Vic] Anderson and Gallows
not in the mood to play around.

1280
01:14:26,829 --> 01:14:29,097
And the same could be said
for our NXT Champion,

1281
01:14:29,164 --> 01:14:34,069
who heard Melo's ultimatum earlier
and, in turn, issued his own.

1282
01:14:34,136 --> 01:14:36,405
So if Hayes wants a title match
at Roadblock,

1283
01:14:36,472 --> 01:14:40,142
he must come face-to-face
with the Mad Dragon next week.

1284
01:14:40,809 --> 01:14:45,614
And Noam Dar defends the Heritage Cup
under the No Quarter Catch Clause.

1285
01:14:45,681 --> 01:14:47,149
So who will Dar face?

1286
01:14:47,216 --> 01:14:49,685
Who walks out
with the prestigious Heritage Cup?

1287
01:14:49,751 --> 01:14:52,321

-but only one, Byron, will be superior.
-It's my turn.

1294

[Byron] Two ladies who have traveled
unique paths in their career,

1295
01:15:18,013 --> 01:15:22,851
have stuck to their guns,
have stuck to their unorthodox style.

1296
01:15:22,918 --> 01:15:28,490
But again, like you said,
it's all about who wants it the most.

1297

Whoever wants it the most
will leave here tonight

at the NXT Women's Championship.

1301
01:15:42,604 --> 01:15:46,141
Yeah! Let's go! Come on.

1302
01:15:48,043 --> 01:15:55,050
["Triumph" playing]

1303
01:16:04,493 --> 01:16:07,296
[Vic] And there's no doubt
that the Women's Champion,

1304
01:16:07,362 --> 01:16:10,933
Lyra Valkyria is battle-tested.

1305
01:16:10,999 --> 01:16:15,270
Is she up for the challenge tonight
of Smack Down Shotzi?

1306
01:16:15,337 --> 01:16:18,273
[Byron] Lyra Valkyria proves
she was up for the challenge

1307
01:16:18,974 --> 01:16:23,078
when she defeated Becky Lynch
to become NXT Women's Champion.

1308
01:16:23,145 --> 01:16:26,715
What I love about Lyra Valkyria
is that when the pressure is on,

1309
01:16:26,782 --> 01:16:31,420
the lights are the brightest,
all eyes are on her.

1310
01:16:31,486 --> 01:16:34,323
Lyra Valkyria delivers.

1311
01:16:35,290 --> 01:16:38,226
[audience chanting] Whoa! Whoa!

1312
01:16:44,566 --> 01:16:45,968
[bell ringing]

1313
01:16:46,034 --> 01:16:48,637
[Alicia] The following contest
is scheduled for one fall

1314
01:16:48,704 --> 01:16:55,110
is for the NXT Women's Championship.

1315
01:16:57,446 --> 01:17:04,453
Introducing first, the challenger, Shotzi.

1316
01:17:09,191 --> 01:17:10,792
And her opponent,

1317
01:17:10,859 --> 01:17:16,565
she is the NXT Women's Champion,

1318
01:17:16,632 --> 01:17:21,837
Lyra Valkyria!

1319
01:17:21,903 --> 01:17:23,905
[audience cheering]

1320
01:17:23,972 --> 01:17:25,374
[Vic] I don't know,
but the last several weeks

1321
01:17:25,440 --> 01:17:28,076
that you've been sitting here
at commentary with me,

1322
01:17:28,143 --> 01:17:32,147
when it was Wade Barrett at Vengeance Day
with Booker T before that,

1323
01:17:33,448 --> 01:17:37,486
Lyra Valkyria constantly
has had something else on her mind,

1324
01:17:37,552 --> 01:17:39,821
that being Tatum Paxley.

1325
01:17:39,888 --> 01:17:45,927
Was it wise of the champion to make a deal
with Paxley earlier tonight?

1326
01:17:46,428 --> 01:17:49,498
[Byron] I think it was necessary
for Lyra Valkyria.

1327
01:17:49,564 --> 01:17:54,336
As much as Tatum Paxley has tried to be
a support system for Lyra Valkyria,

1328
01:17:54,403 --> 01:17:58,707
there have been times
when Paxley has become problematic,

1329
01:17:58,774 --> 01:18:03,311
when Paxley has become a liability
to ensure that there are no distractions

1330
01:18:03,378 --> 01:18:05,047
against a very game Shotzi.

1331
01:18:05,113 --> 01:18:07,783
That's the last thing Valkyria needs
are distractions.

1332
01:18:07,849 --> 01:18:09,117
You had to make that deal.

1333
01:18:09,184 --> 01:18:11,553
[Vic] Nice roll-through
and submission applied here early on

1334
01:18:11,620 --> 01:18:13,789
by Shotzi, Lyra Valkyria, though.

1335
01:18:13,855 --> 01:18:16,625
Whether it's through the air,
whether it's on the mat,

1336
01:18:16,692 --> 01:18:19,828
she can do it all, which has led her
to be the NXT Women's Championship.

1337
01:18:19,895 --> 01:18:23,365
Nice take down of Shotzi in her own right,
and going right at Shotzi,

1338
01:18:23,432 --> 01:18:26,234
and both these women have come in
with a game plan,

1339
01:18:26,301 --> 01:18:29,137
and it's, I can do better.

1340
01:18:29,204 --> 01:18:32,007
[Byron] Well, and this match just speaks
to the prestige

1341
01:18:32,074 --> 01:18:34,209
around the NXT Women's Championship.

1342
01:18:34,276 --> 01:18:37,879
For all superstars on any brand,
think back a few years ago,

1343
01:18:37,946 --> 01:18:40,615
when Charlotte Flair won the Royal Rumble,
she had a choice,

1344
01:18:40,682 --> 01:18:43,318
go after the champion on RAW,
go after the champion on Smack Down.

1345
01:18:43,385 --> 01:18:47,456
She wanted to become
NXT Women's Champion again,

1346
01:18:47,522 --> 01:18:49,758
even though she already had
a Hall of Fame career.

1347
01:18:49,825 --> 01:18:53,562
So it should be no surprise
that a competitor like Shotzi comes back

1348
01:18:53,628 --> 01:18:57,499
to NXT saying,
"I won that title on my resume."

1349
01:18:57,566 --> 01:19:01,103
[Vic] A lot of people question why Shotzi
deserved the championship opportunity.

1350
01:19:01,169 --> 01:19:02,938
She's now being turned around,
upside down,

1351
01:19:03,004 --> 01:19:04,473
shoulders down, and a quick kick out.

1352
01:19:04,539 --> 01:19:06,775
And we talked about earlier
the Tatum Paxley situation.

1353
01:19:06,842 --> 01:19:11,179
I do need to remind everyone that Tatum
did say staying away from this match

1354
01:19:11,246 --> 01:19:12,647
is going to be the hardest thing…

1355
01:19:12,714 --> 01:19:14,483
Shoulders down one more time,
and a kick out.

1356
01:19:14,549 --> 01:19:16,118
…that she has ever done.

1357
01:19:16,184 --> 01:19:20,188
But Lyra Valkyria has to be fully focused.
Shoulders down on the champion.

1358
01:19:20,255 --> 01:19:23,091
One second away
from a new champion here tonight,

1359
01:19:23,158 --> 01:19:25,827
and a little bit of a stalemate
between these two.

1360
01:19:25,894 --> 01:19:27,996
And we said it earlier,
these two are equals

1361
01:19:28,063 --> 01:19:29,097
when they step into the ring.

1362
01:19:29,164 --> 01:19:34,436
[Byron] Absolutely. They've all kind of
gone against the grain of expectation.

1363
01:19:34,503 --> 01:19:37,506
But now the opportunity is here
for Lyra Valkyria to say,

1364
01:19:37,572 --> 01:19:39,708
"I defeated Shotzi on my resume."

1365
01:19:39,775 --> 01:19:42,110
Shotzi can say, "I followed the ranks

1366
01:19:42,177 --> 01:19:44,513
of the likes of Charlotte Flair,"
like I mentioned.

1367
01:19:44,579 --> 01:19:48,283
Like a Becky Lynch, who also came back,
won the NXT Women's Championship.

1368
01:19:48,350 --> 01:19:51,953
Add that to my resume,
and take my career to greater heights.

1369
01:19:52,020 --> 01:19:54,122
[Vic] Shotzi charging right in,
going up, going around,

1370
01:19:54,189 --> 01:19:59,461
and not able to take down Valkyria,
who openly knocks the challenger.

1371
01:19:59,528 --> 01:20:02,564
[Byron] There you go. Mind games.
I love it, Vic.

1372
01:20:02,631 --> 01:20:04,032
[Vic] NXT Women's Champion.

1373
01:20:04,099 --> 01:20:07,202
Nice hip toss as well,
and charging right back in.

1374
01:20:07,269 --> 01:20:10,472
Eating a second one with Shotzi.
And look, Shotzi's a different breed.

1375
01:20:10,539 --> 01:20:13,008
She's unlike anyone Lyra has ever faced,

1376
01:20:13,074 --> 01:20:15,443
let alone defended
the NXT Women's title again.

1377
01:20:15,510 --> 01:20:17,679
[Byron] The reason
why Shotzi is so dangerous

1378
01:20:17,746 --> 01:20:21,049
is that she's not going to sit there
and spend hours doing film study.

1379
01:20:21,116 --> 01:20:23,118
Shotzi operates on a whim.

1380
01:20:23,185 --> 01:20:25,654
If it pops up in her head,
she would do it.

1381
01:20:25,720 --> 01:20:29,391
And that's extremely challenging
to prepare for if you're her opponent.

1382
01:20:29,457 --> 01:20:32,260
[Vic] Lyra, for the most part,
has been ready for every obstacle

1383
01:20:32,327 --> 01:20:35,130
that's been thrown her way as Shotzi now.

1384
01:20:37,265 --> 01:20:41,069
Raising her game,
face first goes the champion.

1385
01:20:41,136 --> 01:20:44,306
Both superstars spill to the outside,
but look at Shotzi.

1386
01:20:44,372 --> 01:20:45,840
[Byron] [inaudible] the left knee.

1387
01:20:48,310 --> 01:20:50,912
[Vic]
Who's walking out NXT Women's Champion?

1388
01:20:53,582 --> 01:20:54,950
We're back on NXT.

1389
01:20:55,016 --> 01:21:01,456
NXT Women's Championship match up
was Lyra Valkyria versus Shotzi.

1390
01:21:01,523 --> 01:21:03,725
However, right before the break,

1391
01:21:03,792 --> 01:21:10,065
we saw Shotzi drop Lyra Valkyria
face first on the hardest part of the ring

1392
01:21:10,131 --> 01:21:11,766
and had a nasty landing.

1393
01:21:11,833 --> 01:21:16,371
Here it is, and you see immediately
grabbing the left knee, Byron.

1394
01:21:17,873 --> 01:21:21,910
Shotzi in obvious pain,
obvious discomfort.

1395
01:21:21,977 --> 01:21:28,550
WWE medical has not cleared here
to compete any longer in this match up.

1396
01:21:28,617 --> 01:21:31,953
Here's our general manager has a decision.

1397
01:21:35,257 --> 01:21:38,260
Due to the injuries
that Shotzi has suffered,

1398
01:21:38,326 --> 01:21:40,762
she is no longer allowed to compete.

1399
01:21:41,663 --> 01:21:45,901
But we promised you
an NXT Women's Championship match,

1400
01:21:45,967 --> 01:21:47,736
so that is what you're going to get.

1401
01:21:47,802 --> 01:21:51,406
[audience cheering and applauding]

1402
01:21:51,473 --> 01:21:55,310
Lyra, this is now an open challenge,

1403
01:21:55,377 --> 01:21:59,247
so whoever comes out
is going to be your next opponent.

1404
01:22:00,048 --> 01:22:03,785
-[Vic] Well, Byron, who is this gonna be?
-[Byron] Your guess is good as mine, Vic.

1405
01:22:03,852 --> 01:22:09,124
["What U Want" playing]

1406
01:22:09,190 --> 01:22:14,896
[Vic] And you gotta imagine,
she didn't get very far after her match.

1407
01:22:14,963 --> 01:22:16,364
[Byron] No, no.

1408
01:22:17,032 --> 01:22:19,301
Lash Legend, what an opportunity.

1409
01:22:23,571 --> 01:22:27,275
And this, you know,
I credit the decision-making from Ava

1410
01:22:27,342 --> 01:22:30,578
to want to still give us all
a championship match.

1411
01:22:30,645 --> 01:22:33,715
[Vic] And look, if you're Lash Legend,
you just competed.

1412
01:22:33,782 --> 01:22:37,252
You've already picked up a victory.
You're ready, you're warm.

1413
01:22:37,319 --> 01:22:39,721
Lyra Valkyria just had to stop and go

1414
01:22:39,788 --> 01:22:41,723
with everything going through her mind
right now.

1415
01:22:41,790 --> 01:22:43,858
Now she has to switch gears completely.

1416
01:22:43,925 --> 01:22:47,595
Byron, there's no way in hell
that our champion is prepared,

1417
01:22:47,662 --> 01:22:49,864
and she just got decked.

1418
01:22:50,365 --> 01:22:53,969
[Byron] Lyra Valkyria just went through
an emotionally turbulent situation,

1419
01:22:54,035 --> 01:22:58,173
and now she's got to turn around
and defend this title against Lash Legend?

1420
01:22:58,239 --> 01:23:01,543
[Vic] She's not prepared right now.
And look at this right hand.

1421
01:23:01,609 --> 01:23:05,780
Bam! Right between the eyes.
Lyra Valkyria is on the back foot.

1422
01:23:05,847 --> 01:23:09,417
Our champion is in a lot of trouble
right now against Lash Legend.

1423
01:23:09,484 --> 01:23:14,322
[Byron] And the flip side is Lash Legend,
yes, competed earlier, won earlier.

1424
01:23:14,389 --> 01:23:16,257
Lash Legend is on cloud nine.

1425
01:23:16,324 --> 01:23:17,992
[Vic] Shoulders down,
championship on the line.

1426
01:23:18,059 --> 01:23:19,361
That right shoulder
is off the mat, though,

1427
01:23:19,427 --> 01:23:22,597
and I want to reset real quick
because Shotzi came into tonight.

1428
01:23:22,664 --> 01:23:24,933
She was prepared to take on Lyra Valkyria.

1429
01:23:25,000 --> 01:23:29,004
I actually should say Lyra Valkyria
was prepared to take on Shotzi.

1430
01:23:29,070 --> 01:23:32,807
Unfortunate happenings
in this match up tonight.

1431
01:23:32,874 --> 01:23:36,344
Referees came out,
medical deemed her unable to continue.

1432
01:23:36,411 --> 01:23:39,414
That has brought us to this match up,
an open challenge, if you will,

1433
01:23:39,481 --> 01:23:40,648
a decision made by Ava.

1434
01:23:40,715 --> 01:23:43,685
Lash Legend, right place, right time.

1435
01:23:43,752 --> 01:23:47,422
[Byron] Look, in many circumstances,
you would rule this match in no contest,

1436
01:23:47,489 --> 01:23:48,390
and that would be it.

1437
01:23:48,456 --> 01:23:52,227
And that's probably what Lyra Valkyria
was thinking in the midst of her emotions.

1438
01:23:52,293 --> 01:23:53,395
But all of a sudden now,

1439
01:23:53,461 --> 01:23:55,663
she has to put that competitive hat
back on

1440
01:23:55,730 --> 01:23:58,633
and have the fight of her life
against Lash Legend.

1441
01:23:58,700 --> 01:24:00,668
[Vic] Our thoughts go out to Shotzi
in this moment,

1442
01:24:00,735 --> 01:24:02,470
but right now we are focused
on the main event

1443
01:24:02,537 --> 01:24:04,606
for the NXT Women's Championship.

1444
01:24:04,672 --> 01:24:08,777
And Lyra Valkyria, I don't think
is gonna be able to overpower Lash Legend.

1445
01:24:08,843 --> 01:24:11,146
And you gotta think, again,
I bring it back to Lash Legend.

1446
01:24:11,212 --> 01:24:14,516
She just had a highly competitive match up
with Kelani Jordan,

1447
01:24:14,582 --> 01:24:17,585
but she's riding the wave of momentum.
She picked up a big victory.

1448
01:24:17,652 --> 01:24:22,057
She now sees a golden opportunity,
and this is the power that Lash possesses,

1449
01:24:22,123 --> 01:24:24,059
this is the power that Lash displays,

1450
01:24:24,125 --> 01:24:28,196
and this is the power that could make her
the next NXT Women's Champion.

1451
01:24:28,263 --> 01:24:32,767
[Byron] Lash Legend has felt overlooked
for quite some time here in NXT.

1452
01:24:32,834 --> 01:24:34,836
[Vic] Into the cover,
title again on the line,

1453
01:24:34,903 --> 01:24:36,104
and just able to kick out.

1454
01:24:36,171 --> 01:24:37,806
[Byron] Lash Legend has felt
for a long time

1455
01:24:37,872 --> 01:24:39,841
she should be at the front of the line

1456
01:24:39,908 --> 01:24:42,510
when you talk
about the NXT Women's title picture.

1457
01:24:42,577 --> 01:24:45,647
This is Lash's chance
to prove all those claims right.

1458
01:24:47,749 --> 01:24:51,052
[Vic] I just come back to Lyra Valkyria.
I feel so bad for Shotzi.

1459
01:24:51,119 --> 01:24:53,388
I feel so bad for Lyra,
but this is what it's like

1460
01:24:53,455 --> 01:24:55,423
to be champion here at NXT.

1461
01:24:55,490 --> 01:24:57,592
You have to be prepared
to defend your title

1462
01:24:57,659 --> 01:24:59,994
at any moment at any time

1463
01:25:00,061 --> 01:25:03,498
When you are the champion
in Lyra Valkyria,

1464
01:25:03,565 --> 01:25:06,000
I would say she's at a huge disadvantage.

1465
01:25:06,067 --> 01:25:08,403
[Byron] A huge, of course she is.

1466
01:25:08,470 --> 01:25:11,072
Like I said,
you're having to go from 0 to 100

1467
01:25:11,139 --> 01:25:12,507
if you're Lyra Valkyria.

1468
01:25:13,374 --> 01:25:16,411
You think you're in one match,
you got one challenger,

1469
01:25:16,478 --> 01:25:19,047
your challenger's out,
you think you're going home, no.

1470
01:25:19,114 --> 01:25:21,883
Now you have the most
physically imposing woman

1471
01:25:21,950 --> 01:25:23,551
on the NXT women's roster.

1472
01:25:23,618 --> 01:25:27,489
[Vic] Into another cover,
another near-fall.

1473
01:25:27,555 --> 01:25:29,557
Just able to kick out.

1474
01:25:29,624 --> 01:25:32,794
And look, when you're prepared
for one competitor, when you've scouted,

1475
01:25:32,861 --> 01:25:36,631
when you've game planned for Shotzi,
who's unpredictable in her own right.

1476
01:25:36,698 --> 01:25:39,400
Shotzi's a whole different ball game
than Lash Legend.

1477
01:25:39,467 --> 01:25:42,170
This is now a new game for our champion.

1478
01:25:42,237 --> 01:25:43,805
And then you think about
the rest of the locker room.

1479
01:25:43,872 --> 01:25:46,808
I'm sure Roxanne Perez right now
is pissed.

1480
01:25:46,875 --> 01:25:48,943
She goes, I don't know where she's at.

1481
01:25:49,010 --> 01:25:51,913
And she's probably saying,
"Woe is me when Lash Legend

1482
01:25:51,980 --> 01:25:53,515
was standing behind the curtain,

1483
01:25:53,581 --> 01:25:55,517
probably getting high fives
and drinking out of the cup.

1484
01:25:55,583 --> 01:25:56,818
And now she's moments away

1485
01:25:56,885 --> 01:25:58,419
from maybe putting a title
around her waist."

1486
01:25:58,486 --> 01:25:59,754
[Byron] Hey, credit Lash Legend.

1487
01:25:59,821 --> 01:26:02,657
A quick decision was made
by our general manager Ava.

1488
01:26:02,724 --> 01:26:05,927
Open challenge, Lash Legend
was the first one to answer.

1489
01:26:06,995 --> 01:26:09,097
-What's going on?
-They have to stop the match.

1490
01:26:09,164 --> 01:26:10,031
Shotzi got hurt.

1491
01:26:10,098 --> 01:26:11,299
-What?
-Medical stopped it.

1492
01:26:11,366 --> 01:26:14,169
Yeah, Ava came in and she issued
a championship open challenge.

1493
01:26:14,235 --> 01:26:15,737
-What?
-And Lash just took it.

1494
01:26:18,206 --> 01:26:20,108
-Whoa!
-Whoa, Roxanne!

1495
01:26:21,342 --> 01:26:24,145
[Vic] Well, no doubt
Roxanne Perez is beat, Byron.

1496
01:26:24,212 --> 01:26:26,514
and it's just another missed opportunity

1497
01:26:26,581 --> 01:26:29,150
for the former NXT Women's Champion
here tonight.

1498
01:26:32,353 --> 01:26:36,658
[Byron] This was key for Lyra Valkyria,
able to withstand the early storm.

1499
01:26:36,724 --> 01:26:39,928
Well, she's able to come in
with one thought process and switch it,

1500
01:26:39,994 --> 01:26:42,230
but got caught, got overpowered.

1501
01:26:42,297 --> 01:26:45,934
Lash Legend now could be looking
for that Slam Dunk Choke slam.

1502
01:26:46,000 --> 01:26:48,536
And that's gotta be it.
Title's on the line.

1503
01:26:48,603 --> 01:26:54,809
And Valkyria somehow kicking out
at the last moment.

1504
01:26:57,445 --> 01:27:01,849
This is our main event on NXT.
It's about the NXT Women's Championship.

1505
01:27:01,916 --> 01:27:06,421
The night started, the match started
with Shotzi versus Lyra.

1506
01:27:06,487 --> 01:27:11,092
Unfortunately, Shotzi not deemed
medically cleared to continue.

1507
01:27:11,159 --> 01:27:12,760
An open challenge was issued.

1508
01:27:12,827 --> 01:27:14,329
Lash Legend answered the bell

1509
01:27:14,395 --> 01:27:17,365
because she had just competed victorious
against Kelani Jordan,

1510
01:27:17,432 --> 01:27:20,368
which she's found herself
in this championship match up.

1511
01:27:20,435 --> 01:27:23,605
A golden opportunity.
High cross body from the champion.

1512
01:27:23,671 --> 01:27:24,939
Challenger kicks out.

1513
01:27:25,006 --> 01:27:27,075
[Byron] Went for a great deal
of this match.

1514
01:27:27,141 --> 01:27:29,277
It seemed very bleak for Lyra Valkyria.

1515
01:27:29,344 --> 01:27:33,014
She has bounced back.
And I don't know about this.

1516
01:27:33,081 --> 01:27:34,449
[Vic] Where is Valkyria?

1517
01:27:34,515 --> 01:27:36,684
-[Byron] No, no, no.
-[Vic] She needs new strength.

1518
01:27:36,751 --> 01:27:39,621
[Byron] You are not hoisting up
Lash Legend.

1519
01:27:41,356 --> 01:27:43,057
[Vic] Big pump kick under the jaw.

1520
01:27:43,124 --> 01:27:46,294
And we've seen Lash win
with that pump kick in the past.

1521
01:27:46,361 --> 01:27:50,431
Jackknife cover. Title on the line.
Champion able to kick out.

1522
01:27:50,498 --> 01:27:52,367
And now frustration building in Lash.

1523
01:27:52,433 --> 01:27:54,535
And now I'm gonna throw this to you,
Byron.

1524
01:27:54,602 --> 01:27:57,872
Lash Legend's never been
in these sort of waters before.

1525
01:27:57,939 --> 01:28:01,843
Championship match and a main event.
Lyra Valkyria has.

1526
01:28:01,909 --> 01:28:05,179
[Byron] Major psychological advantage
for Lyra Valkyria.

1527
01:28:05,246 --> 01:28:07,749
But if this trend continues, Vic,

1528
01:28:07,815 --> 01:28:11,386
we are going to see
a new NXT Women's Champion.

1529
01:28:11,452 --> 01:28:12,720
[Vic] I go back to earlier tonight.

1530
01:28:12,787 --> 01:28:15,356
Obviously, she didn't know
what would happen.

1531
01:28:15,423 --> 01:28:19,694
But is she now regretting the decision
to ask Tatum Paxton to stay in the back?

1532
01:28:19,761 --> 01:28:22,130
-[Byron] Can't worry about that now.
-[Vic] Looking up.

1533
01:28:22,196 --> 01:28:23,965
Big splash off the top.

1534
01:28:24,032 --> 01:28:28,002
Is this gonna be enough to retain
the NXT Women's Championship?

1535
01:28:28,069 --> 01:28:30,371
Valkyria overcomes the odds.

1536
01:28:30,438 --> 01:28:36,544
[Alicia] Here is your winner,
and still the NXT Women's Champion,

1537
01:28:36,611 --> 01:28:39,414
Lyra Valkyria.

1538
01:28:39,480 --> 01:28:44,385
[Vic]
And the NXT universe coming to their feet.

1539
01:28:44,452 --> 01:28:48,823
A standing ovation
for the NXT Women's Champion.

1540
01:28:48,890 --> 01:28:51,559
Who is able to flip her own game plan.

1541
01:28:52,827 --> 01:28:56,798
Stay in the match up because Lash Legend
answered the open challenge.

1542
01:28:56,864 --> 01:28:58,433
And it seemed early on bleak.

1543
01:28:58,499 --> 01:29:01,703
But Lyra Valkyria showed you the heart
of which she possesses,

1544
01:29:01,769 --> 01:29:03,071
which is the heart of a champion.

1545
01:29:03,137 --> 01:29:06,274
She soared through the air
like she's done on so many nights

1546
01:29:06,340 --> 01:29:09,877
and retained the NXT Women's Championship.

1547
01:29:09,944 --> 01:29:16,484
And I am proud to say that Lyra Valkyria
is our champion on this brand

1548
01:29:16,551 --> 01:29:19,887
as she continues to soar
to new heights in NXT.

1549
01:29:20,521 --> 01:29:21,789
Yes!
