[triumphant music]
[narrator] Then.
Now.
Forever.
Together.
[Vic] Our NXT superstars take their first steps towards immortality.
-This is WrestleMania Saturday. -[heavy metal music]
Welcome to Stand & Deliver.
[heavy metal music continues playing]
[Vic] An NXT attendance record.
Sixteen thousand five-hundred and forty-five.
[Vic] It's the biggest NXT premium live event ever
and it's all about the North American title.
Briggs, Dijak, Femi, Triple Threat.
[Booker] What a night, what a fight
[Vic] Over, Femi retains.
[female announcer] The following contest is for the NXT Tag Team Championship.
[heavy metal music continues playing]
-[Vic] Ron and Baron retains. -[bell rings]
[Vic] Six women tag team match of balance.
Jordan, Hale.
They've come to shift of balance of power
in the women's locker room.
-How good this must feel for Thea Hale. -[bell rings]
Roxanne, [indistinct] NXT Stand & Deliver.
I will do anything to keep this title.
Ira, I'll be the one holding that NXT Women's Championship
and it'll be back where it belongs.
[Vic] Tatum Paxley?
Oh!
Can Valkyria hang on?
-The Prodigy's prophecy comes true. -[bell rings]
[Roxanne] I told everybody I was going to do this and look at me now.
I am your new two time NXT Women's champion.
[Vic] The NXT title is on the line.
Can Tony D'Angelo break the unbreakable in Ilja Dragunov?
The Don is going to reshape
the landscape of NXT just like that.
[Vic] Stacks handed him some brass knuckles behind the official.
I do that.
[Vic] Tony D wants to do it the right way.
At Stand & Deliver, we conduct business my way.
And The Don [indistinct] crumbles to the floor.
[bell rings]
[Vic] The main event. Carmelo Hayes, Trick Williams.
This one here is personal.
Melo, I'm coming for you.
Trick, you are not on my level.
As a matter of fact, you're not even on the level below me.
What you know about being him?
You are my best friend.
You are my brother.
You want a war, Melo?
Well, we gonna go to war.
[Vic] It's a fight both men want,
neither can afford to lose.
Caught him with the Trick knee.
-[crowd] One, two, three! -[bell rings]
[Vic] Yes, yes.
Trick Williams with a Stand & Deliver moment.
[heavy metal music]
[Vic] This past weekend was nothing short of historic
as an American nightmare finished his story
to achieve his American dream.
-As for tonight. -NXT, NXT!
[Vic] Our superstars.
Well, their stories are just beginning.
Welcome to a brand new era.
And welcome to NXT.
Please welcome your new
-NXT Women's champion. -[crowd cheers]
Roxanne Perez.
["All Fall Down" playing]
[Vic] She made history Saturday.
Now a two time NXT women's champion.
Wanna remind to those watching,
the first 30 minutes commercial free of NXT.
And when we talk about stories.
Certainly Perez turned the page in her book.
-On Saturday. -[Booker] Finally. Vic, can you do it?
-Can you? Can you do it? -[Vic] [crosstalk].
[Booker] No, stand up for greatness.
Stand up for greatness.
The Prodigy Roxanne Perez.
Give her her flowers.
Give her her props, because she did it.
Exactly what she said she was gonna do.
Oh, yes, man.
Two times. Two times.
Oh my God.
[crowd cheers]
Are you guys even surprised?
Are you really surprised?
What happened? Shut up, shut up.
Shut up. Because I don't need your, "You deserves it," okay?
I needed that a year ago.
What happened last Saturday at Stand & Deliver…
was justice.
Justice for the woman
who went over a year without her title.
My title.
The culmination of a journey
that I was forced to take against my will.
But now.
Now all is right in the world.
And Lyra, you know as well as I do,
because of your desire to be an honorable champion,
that your arm wasn't 100%.
But you know what? I saw that arm.
I saw your poor little arm wrapped up.
And I used that as a target.
I used that as a target
and I didn't even care if I broke your arm.
[crowd chants "Shut the hell up"]
I'll keep talking because I'm the champion, okay?
So you guys, shut the hell up.
Lyra, you like to call yourself,
you're an honorable champion.
You say honorable.
I say stupid, pathetic, embarrassing even.
Because regardless of the way I did it,
I'm standing here
as your two time NXT women's champion.
[crowd cheers]
And now.
Now there's nothing
that anybody can do
to take this title away from me.
Because now everything's on my terms.
And I dare anyone to tell me otherwise.
And honestly.
Honestly, the next time
that I get this title taken from me
is when I give it up.
Because I'll be going to Raw
or Smackdown in the draft.
So enjoy seeing this while you can.
["Triumph" playing]
Is this what we're in store for?
You've been champion for two days.
Two days.
And you're packing your bags?
What?
What? You're too good for NXT now?
Stay on Raw.
Go to Smackdown.
But the NXT Women's Championship stays here.
[woman in crowd] Yeah!
With me.
Because I want my championship rematch.
And I want it tonight.
[crowd cheers]
Come on, Lyra, you're not even medically cleared.
Your arm is hanging on by a thread.
Do you really wanna waste your championship rematch
tonight against…?
Lyra might not be ready.
But I am.
Tatum, Tatum, Tatum. Look.
I love that you stick up for me, okay?
I love that you stick up for me.
But I'm sorry for what I said after the match.
I was just angry, okay?
I'm good now. I can do this. I'm good.
[woman in crowd] Come on Tatum!
But are you?
[crowd] Ooh!
[Vic] Book!
[Booker] Wow.
It's not yours anymore.
It doesn't belong to you anymore.
[indistinct]
Let's go. Come on.
Tatum.
Get her out of here.
Is your arm okay?
We're gonna get you up to medical.
[man in crowd] Somebody help!
Come on. [indistinct]
Bye. Sorry.
Well, I guess you guys won't be seeing a championship match tonight.
Sorry. Not sorry.
[crowd cheers]
["New Foundation" playing]
[crowd cheers]
Oh, Roxy, you are adorable.
You're not going to leave, are you?
Because I think these people here
want a championship match.
[crowd cheers]
[crowd chants "Nattie"]
And don't think that I've forgotten how rude you've been to me.
I've forgotten more about professional wrestling
than you're ever gonna learn, Roxy.
But there is one championship
that I've never won in WWE,
and it's the NXT Women's Championship.
So I think tonight we do the Boat
versus the Prodigy for the NXT Women's Championship.
No, no, no, no.
-I think we do it tonight. -Yeah, I don't think so.
Hard pass.
This is my show, my NXT, and my title.
So you don't get a title shot tonight, but thanks for coming.
["Undeniable" playing]
Oh.
I'm sorry, Roxanne, but that's not actually
how it's going to work.
Because if this past weekend has shown us anything,
is that we are undoubtedly in a new era.
[crowd cheers]
And it is the first show after Stand & Deliver.
So tonight it might be Roxanne Perez
versus Nattie for the Women's Championship,
but now that I think about it,
it absolutely will be Roxanne Perez versus Nattie
-for the NXT Women's Championship. -[crowd cheers]
[Vic] All right.
Okay.
Okay. All right. Thanks, Ava.
[crowd] Thank you, Ava.
[Vic] And Natalya trying to strike first.
Well, Booker.
This new era is certainly a vibe.
[heavy metal music]
[Vic] Wow, what a power call by our general manager, Ava.
Ava might find herself
in another office this fall
with all the love and support she's receiving
from the NXT Universe.
[heavy metal music]
[Vic] You can look at me all you want with that face,
but I want to talk about the man who pulled in earlier today in style,
victorious off the biggest main event,
the biggest match in NXT history.
Trick Williams. He's here.
He'll be live tonight on NXT.
And not only that, there are the tag team champions
who found out they'll defend the titles courtesy of NXT Anonymous tonight.
All I'm saying is literally there's one thing I want.
I know.
-Literally, we can do it. -I know.
We can do it this Tuesday.
This Tuesday.
Hey, Brook. We will [indistinct].
[Vic] That was the conversation that was had
and it was very interesting back and forth
as you can see on social media,
because indeed, the challengers from Saturday
do get another opportunity
here tonight for the NXT tag team titles.
And it will be a Stand & Deliver rematch that takes place.
But there's a big, big issue for Axiom and Frazer.
The challengers' backs are against the wall
and they're currently standing with our very own Kelly Kincaid.
Nathan Frazer. Axiom.
Tonight is a Stand & Deliver rematch
and another shot at the NXT tag team titles.
Yep, one last chance.
On Saturday, we were this close
to beating Bron and Corbin, I know we can beat these guys.
That's why we bugged Ava for one more match.
But tonight, it has to be different.
It has to be different, because if we don't win tonight,
we don't get another shot and I don't know about you,
but I think we are destined to be Tag Team champions.
This team was thrown together because of our friendship
and because of the respect we have for each other as rivals.
But at Stand & Deliver, I saw something different.
On Stand & Deliver, I saw that we belong at the top.
And we've talked about this, right?
We talked on the way back from Philly.
Yeah, we. About the loss, about tonight.
And, you know, I normally say never slow down, right?
But if we don't get the job done tonight, then…
I guess we'll have to go our separate ways.
So if this is the end,
it's been a hell of a ride, amigo.
Good luck tonight, guys.
-Let's fucking do it. -Thank you.
-[pop music] -[Vic] As I mentioned, high stakes
in that tag team title matchup,
but this match is official.
Off the biggest weekend in her career,
the Prodigy will defend the title
against the Boat.
NXT Women's Championship match
coming your way live tonight here on NXT.
Vic Joseph alongside Booker T. What a weekend it was.
Stand & Deliver.
Philadelphia.
Biggest WrestleMania weekend of all time.
And what a night, this has already begun.
As we said, a new era in tonight.
Not just one, but two championship matches
live here on NXT.
But it's been quite a day
and right now we want to go to what happened earlier today
on the campus of Chase U.
[pop music continues playing]
Duke catching Thea.
-Yeah. -That was amazing.
But before their big tag team match tonight
against Kiana James and Izzi Dame,
I would first like to thank both Fallon Henley
and Kelani Jordan for their help in Stand & Deliver
and present them with honorary Chase University degrees.
-Did I miss it? Did I miss it? -You're good. Have a seat.
Thea Hale, everyone.
Okay, the next certificate goes to…
Whoa, whoa.
What the hell are you doing here, Jace?
Don't worry, I'm not here to fight today.
No, actually, I've just been doing a little bit of thinking
and I came to ask the professor here a little question.
After your victory party today,
are you finally gonna tell Thea the real reason
I had to bail Chase U out of debt
in the first place, considering it was all her fault.
Jace, the past is the past.
Just please leave with…
No, I don't think so.
That package that Rizzo delivered,
it said it all.
Thea.
Remember July at the Great American Bash?
Remember the towel?
Turns out your professor here
placed a big bet on you winning the NXT Women's Championship.
-Enough. Enough is enough. -Shh.
And instead of watching you suffer like you were,
he decided to throw in the towel.
Looks like this idiot cares more
about a loser like you than his university.
So much for your rebellious stage
and treating him like garbage.
Isn't it ironic that this whole time
you ended up being the problem?
-That's not true, is it, Mr. Chase? -Tell her.
Thea.
It's true.
I placed the wager on your big match.
And I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done it.
But listen, when it comes down to the university or Thea Hale,
I'm gonna bet on Thea Hale every single time.
I know I should have discussed…
Thea. I know we should.
["The Highest" playing]
[Vic] Just can't leave the past alone.
[Booker] This guy's dirty.
-Dirtier than Pete Rose. He really is. -[bell rings]
[announcer] The following is a tag team match scheduled for one fall.
Introducing first, the team of Izzi Dame
and Kiana James.
[Vic] You always tell me.
-Mind your business. -[Booker] I do.
I'm minding my business. That's it. Whatever she do, that's on her.
I'm talking about me.
["Saddle Up" playing]
[indistinct], baby.
["Out Of This World" playing]
[announcer] And your opponents,
the team of Fallon Henley
and Kelani Jordan.
[Vic] James and Izzi, the Mean Girls Club
obviously feeling a little embarrassed
after Stand & Deliver. Quite the opposite feeling for these two.
Jordan, Fallon Henley.
And we're going to talk about what happened earlier today
on the campus of Chase U.
And much like we saw Saturday,
this time it's Jordan and Fallon
who were ready as Izzi Dame strikes first.
And things already breaking down in this tag team match.
[Booker] Talk about Stand & Deliver.
Sometimes you win some,
-sometimes you lose some. -[bell rings]
[Booker] Tonight we can get a little bit of payback.
[Vic] Jordan starting things off with James.
Is Jordan on the cusp of getting to the next level?
[Booker] No, Kelani Jordan is the fastest rising star
I've seen in the NXT since I've been here.
She's definitely a student of the game.
[Vic] I have to agree with you.
And then you'd have to agree with me
that she would have to thank Fallon Henley
for guiding her, for protecting her.
[Booker] No. You know what?
I'm not gonna even go there.
I'm hoping Kelani Jordan is not thinking that way.
If she do it on her own,
I think she has all the ability to do that.
[Vic] We talk about Saturday.
The missing pieces of Thea Hale as Izzi Dame goes for a suplex.
-Nice counter. -[Booker] That's what I'm talking about.
[Vic] Into a sleeper. Tag was made.
Fallon Henley's legal. Izzi Dame does not realize it,
but she will here in just a matter of moments
And missing on the opposite side,
Jacy Jayne and what a beautiful moment earlier today
ruined by Jacy Jayne as Fallon and Jordan
were receiving their honorary degrees from Chase University.
Jacy just can't leave it alone.
[Booker] Can I give a little bit of praise
to Fallon Henley for captaining
that team at Stand & Deliver?
[Vic] It's about time you said something nice.
-[Booker] Can I do that? -[Vic] Yeah, go for it.
I've been waiting for weeks for you to say something nice about Fallon Henley.
But we also got to give a shout out to the WWE Universe
for the largest attendance
in NXT history.
Over 16,000 inside the Wells Fargo Center.
-for Stand & Deliver -[Booker] Sixteen thousand five hundred
-and forty-five to be exact. -[Vic] Oh!
-Oh, yeah, man. Yes! -[Vic] Into the cover.
-[Booker] Wow. -[crowd cheers]
[indistinct]
[Vic] This what you have been talking about.
[crowd chants "NXT"]
[Vic] The fastest rising female superstar
Kelani Jordan… Into the cover
and a kickout by Izzi Dame.
Take another look at Fallon Henley.
Smooth as silk. Look, goes soaring through the air
-with knees. -[Booker] Beautiful.
[Vic] Back to live action.
Things quickly turning around as Izzi Dame
now has certainly showed her worth
for someone who's only worried about money
and fame, that being the conniving Kiana.
[Booker] We talked about Stand & Deliver
that Izzi Dame perhaps could have been that X factor.
And I truly believe that she is gonna rise
to the occasion to be that X factor here tonight.
[Vic] Into the cover. Into the count. And a kickout.
This modified rib breaker. Almost a backbreaker by Kiana James.
-Talk a little bit of trash. -[Booker] Yes.
[Vic] We talk about all things WWE,
do not miss tomorrow.
WWE Speed exclusively on X.
Coming away high noon on the East Coast.
Talk about fast-paced action.
Corey Graves calling the action
as we get back to the action of this matchup.
And it's Jordan desperately needing to make a tag.
She is on the wrong part of town in this moment.
But go back to Saturday. Izzi Dame tapped out.
So what did all that tough talk and nasty attitude
get the Mean Girls Club…
As Dame into the cover. Hooking both legs and a near fall.
[Booker] Come on. It's a competition. It's a fight.
[Vic] They lost the competition, the fight.
[Booker] No. You find yourself in a position
where you have to tap. You tap.
That's just part of the game. That's part of the…
Have you ever been in a position where you have to tap?
-[Vic] [indistinct] in a fight. -[Booker] Exactly my point.
[Vic] They should be more like their opponents
Try to kill 'em with kindness.
Just be nice to one another.
They talk all that crap in the locker room.
[Booker] Talking about kill 'em with kindness.
What are you thinking?
[Vic] As we talk about on Saturday, missing from the equation
is so far Jacy Jayne, Thea Hale.
And we talk about Saturday.
How about our general manager, Ava, who made a hell of an announcement.
A brand new women's championship.
We learned Saturday of the Women's North American title.
[Booker] We're talking about history.
Who's going to be the first to become the North American champion?
-[Vic] Oh, my. -[Booker] Who's it gonna be?
[Vic] Could be any four of these superstars entering right now.
You can never count out
-someone like Izzi. -[Booker] Beautiful flap check by Izzi.
[official] One, two.
[Booker] Izzi Dame is looking very impressive here tonight.
[Vic] There's a look of worry on her face.
We just talked about Speed.
There was some speed being showcased by Kiana.
And now you see some strength being used by Izzi.
[crowd applauds]
[Booker] Modified abdominal stretch here.
Getting all of it right now.
The solar plexus right now got to be burning.
[Vic] Such an awkward position too.
And take a look at the body torque.
-[crowd] Kelani, Kelani. -[Vic] Izzi trying to wiggle free.
Trying to do anything she can.
Absorbing a lot of punishment thus far
in this matchup has been Kelani Jordan.
And Kelani doing her best. Can she roll around?
Yes, a nice counter. And now Izzi.
-[Booker] Oh, the strength of Izzi. -[Vic] [crosstalk] power again.
Speaking of power, it'll be power versus speed
later on tonight for the NXT tag team titles.
And Trick Williams is here. Trick Williams will be live.
And it's Kelani Jordan looking for a tag.
Overpowered one more time.
And make it a second time.
Izzi Dame is so damn powerful.
With another tag made. And this has been…
Even I have to admit it.
-And I know what you're gonna say. -[Booker] What was that?
[Vic] They have been an impressive duo over the last several weeks.
-That being James and Izzi. -[Booker] You know why?
You got a captain in the ring right there.
[Vic] Slam into the cover.
[Booker] Kiana James. She knows what she's doing.
She actually took Fallon Henley
to her first tag team championship gold.
[Vic] You could also say Fallon Henley took Kiana James in her first tag team.
[Booker] You can say that.
[Vic] I did say that and I also just said tag made.
Here comes Fallon.
[Booker] Fallon's on the move. Oh, man.
-Whoa. -[Vic] What? Combination offense.
Fallon Henley. You don't got to fire her up.
Thinking she's back at the rodeo right now.
[Booker] The [indistinct] taking it to the wood chair.
Is that what you just called it?
Oh, man.
[Vic] You can call whatever you want right now.
Because if Fallon Henley was sitting with us,
she'd be saying, "Yeehaw."
I can't finish the rest of it.
As she's bringing the work now to Izzi.
To Kiana.
What's she looking for here?
Oh, what a suplex out of the corner.
Is that gonna be enough…
-[official] One, two. -[Vic] …for the victory tonight?
Izzi did what Izzi needed to do.
And it is what it is. She saves the match for her team.
[Booker] Big elbow right there to the heart.
Broke that up, but Kelani Jordan's going for something sweet.
-Oh no. -[Vic] That tornado. DDT.
It was countered by Izzi Dame.
Again, the first 30 minutes, commercial free of NXT this week.
What a way to kick it off with this tag team.
Oh, Fallon saved Kelani
but paid the price.
Izzi now to the outside.
Back into the ring.
Kiana's legal.
The 401k connects.
-[Booker] Good night. -[official] Two.
-[Vic] Jordan and Fallon… -[bell rings]
-[Vic] …are bankrupt tonight. -["The Highest" playing]
[announcer] Here are your winners.
The team of Izzi Dame and Kiana James
[Vic] Fallon Henley's heart so big,
she sacrificed herself right there in that moment.
And yes, it would cost her and her team the matchup
with that 401k from the conniving one
-to pick up the win here tonight. -[bell rings]
[Vic] And unlike Saturday, the Mean Girls Club is victorious.
We are not alone.
We're better alone.
["The Highest" continues playing]
Like I'm on hype video.
This is sick. All right, let's go.
[rap music]
What's good? My name is Je'Von Evans. I'm 19 years old
and I'm ready to grind.
[rap music continues playing]
NXT about to find out that your boy is bouncy.
[man] There's nothing Je'Von Evans can't do inside that ring.
[Je'Von] The young OG Is coming. I'll see y'all tonight.
That was dope.
-[Scrypts] …He is. -[wrestler] He must not know.
[Scrypts] Been here two minutes. Talking about young OG.
-[wrestler] You gonna find it. -[Scrypts] Weirdo.
That boy bouncy, right?
Mm. Hey.
-It's like… Go ahead. -Tonight. He about to get bounced.
Ooh, what? Cause it looks like there's two dubs tonight for OTM.
You and me.
Hey, yo, hit our music.
-Do that, do that. -Run that.
-[Bronco] Let's do it. -["About That Time" playing]
[Bronco cheers]
[Vic] It didn't seem like Scrypts was very impressed
with his opponent here tonight.
[bell rings]
[announcer] The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
Introducing first,
representing OTM.
Scrypts.
[Vic] He's got a lot of confidence heading into tonight.
You heard from Jaida Parker.
OTM is looking to go two for two
here on NXT.
But Scrypts is set
for someone of the unknown in Evans.
Big first time matchup in moments.
Evans, Scrypts next on NXT.
[heavy metal music]
Welcome to Stand & Deliver.
[Vic] It's the biggest NXT Premium live event ever.
Is tonight all or nothing for Roxanne?
[Roxanne] I will do anything to keep this title.
I'll be the one holding that NXT Women's Championship
[Vic] Challenger hasn't cinched.
Valkyria attempt.
The Prodigy's prophecy comes true.
The biggest match in NXT history.
It's a fight both men want. Neither can afford to lose
the main event of Stand & Deliver.
Yes. Yes.
Trick Williams with his Stand & Deliver moment.
You see the right way at Bloodsport. How'd it go?
So this past weekend at Bloodsport, it was something else.
No ropes, knockout and submission.
Only some of the toughest fighters I'd ever met.
See this black eye?
That didn't stop me from getting the win.
-Heck yeah. There you go. -That's our man.
See, it doesn't matter if it's here in NXT or anywhere else.
The NQCC holds itself to a certain standard
that none of us are exempt from.
That's right.
No pity.
No remorse.
No quarter.
That situation we've got with our friends,
let's just say it's getting sorted.
-It's done. -We know, we know.
But he's not here right now.
The Don's in Boca for the week,
so it looks like you're gonna have to wait to get your answer.
And of course, we know the who,
the what, when, where, and why.
Yeah, we get it.
It's just a shame.
You guys consider yourself a couple of tough guys,
but you don't want to do the work yourself.
Obviously, you don't want to get your hands dirty.
Oh, watch your mouth, Stacks.
-Or what? -Or we'll shut it for you.
-Oh, you will, huh? -We've got a problem here?
Oh, I think we do.
And we can settle it tonight.
Well, let's do it tonight. So settle it.
Come on. We just go for it.
[Vic] We will see if that matchup gets made official.
-[Booker] I like it. -["Who Want It" playing]
[announcer] Making his way to the ring.
Je'Von Evans.
[Vic] We talk about a new era, we talk about a new vibe.
He could be a future centerpiece of NXT.
Get your popcorn ready.
Because his story, that being Je'Von Evans truly begins tonight.
[Booker] I like this kid. There's something about this kid.
He's like the wind.
You can feel it, but you can't touch it.
But you know it's there, 19 year old in sensation. Oh, yes.
-[Vic] Grew up watching WWE… -[bell rings]
[Vic] …with his grandmother who unfortunately has passed away.
He wishes she could see this,
but said that he knows she would be proud of him tonight.
Taught him about hard work, taught him about working hard.
It will pay off.
The motto she taught him was hold it in the road.
Keep focused on your goals.
Keep your eyes full.
[Booker] She's looking down on him.
This kid is going to be a hell of a star one day.
Just looking at the movement and the balance of this kid,
like I said, 19 years old,
that's what impresses me.
[Vic] He said he is ready to grind.
Calls himself a young OG…
Kicking from behind, shoulders down.
Just able to kickout was Scrypts. You remember your TV debut?
What thoughts did you have going through your mind as Scrypts?
[Booker] Yeah, talking about the butterflies.
Just trying to get those butterflies lined up and fly straight.
Just like this kid.
-Je'Von Evans. -[Vic] Wow!
[Booker] Looking good.
[Vic] Evans is cooking right now into the cover. Another kick out.
When you see Evans…
[Booker] I'd say don't screw this up.
[Vic] That is true, but look at the height on that drop kick.
When you see Evans walk around, it is hard not to smile.
His energy is infectious.
[Booker] He's got that gravitational pull with the fans here as well.
The Universe loves this game. He got caught right there.
Scrypts is gonna go out and try to break this kid
in his debut here on NXT.
[Vic] As we saw earlier, Scrypts was not very happy
with some of the wording from Je'Von Evans.
But really, where's Scrypts' head at right now?
[Booker] I had a chance to talk with Scrypts inside the Hall of Fame
and Scrypts said he's in the most comfortable place
he's been since he's been here in the WWE.
And right now he's going to go out here and show it that he's from the street.
He's a man of business. Oh, yes, man.
[Vic] We know the NXT women's title on the line.
-We know that the NXT… -[Booker] Oh wow!
[Vic] Title's on the line of that standing shooting star.
And it's not enough to keep Evans down.
What does OTM need to do to get back into the tag team title picture?
[Booker] It's gonna take time for OTM,
they're young, they're just learning the system.
But trust me, once they get it, it's going to be a drain, man.
It's going to be a snowball going downhill.
-Just get bigger and bigger and bigger. -[official] One, two.
-[Vic] [indistinct]. -[Booker] Oh man.
[Vic] Looking at them, it's a team that has competed
on premium live events.
They've been close to gold in the past
to acknowledge that they want gold around their waist.
As Scrypts now trying to spoil Evans debut
into another cover and another near fall.
We gotta mention Ms. Jaida Parker on the outside.
She'll be in action later against Brinley Reece.
OTM as a whole looking to go two for two tonight.
[Booker] She already predicted it.
It's gonna be two dubs. There's gonna be twp dubs for OTM tonight.
We about to come up out the mud
and move uptown. I'm talking about today.
Deluxe apartment in the sky, dog.
[Vic] Oh, right to the midsection.
Scrypts looking like he is just enjoying
putting the boots and beating down Je'Von Evans.
You're not very bouncy if you can't get off the mat.
[Booker] That's the maturity of Scrypts. He's a veteran to this game.
And right now, he's showing this kid what is all about.
Being under the bright lights in the big time.
[Vic] Firing right back. Oh.
And you gotta think, someone like Scrypts who's…
You stupid, huh?
[Vic] Continuing to talk trash, he does not want to be a stepping stone
for someone like Je'Von Evans.
[Booker] No, he's no gatekeeper.
[Vic] Oh, nice takedown. Look at Evans fighting back.
Evans doing his best right now to rally
in this matchup.
You look around, you see the young OG signs
-already up in the NXT. -[Booker] Oh wow!
[Vic] And how in the hell did he bounce
from the top to his feet to up and around?
And he ain't done yet.
[crowd] Ooh!
[Vic] That's gotta be it.
[crowd] One, two.
[Vic] Oh.
Hey, you got to credit Scrypts.
[Booker] That would have been an upset.
[crowd chants "Young OG"]
[Vic] This place right now
on their feet some for the young OG himself,
who springs to the top with a big clothesline.
And now that fire,
[Booker] Oh yeah.
[Vic] Now that energy.
I actually think that was a smart move by OTM.
[Booker] Good timeout. That's how it is.
[Vic] Getting bouncy.
[crowd] Ooh!
[Vic] And like the Jeffersons,
he's trying to get up on the east side.
[Booker] The hell are you doing about the Jeffersons?
[Vic] Evans back in the ring.
Scrypts showcased analyticism. You know what?
Je'Von Evans took his eye off the ball.
Is it gonna work out for Scrypts?
Scrypts has the backup tonight. Evans fighting back.
This has turned into a slugfest.
[Booker] This kid's a fighter. I give him that.
Oh, but he just got dropped.
Lying on the back of his head.
Hard, man, that was gnarly.
[Vic] That was a gnarly suplex.
Scrypts to the top.
[Booker] [indistinct].
[Vic] He was able to roll right through off that moonsault miss.
Was able to get caught and dropped.
Je'Von Evans, you can't think about it.
You gotta go for it.
-Hold it in the road. -[crowd] Oh!
-For his grandmother, for his dreams. -[crowd] One, two, three.
-[bell rings] -[Vic] Evans shocks the NXT Universe.
Massive upset.
-[announcer] Here's your winner. -["Who Want It" playing]
[Booker] Wow.
[announcer] Je'Von Evans.
[Vic] Nineteen years old.
[crowd chants "Young OG"]
[Booker] Chucky, ducky, quack, quack.
[Vic] And the NXT Universe saw
just how bouncy Je'Von Evans is.
I've never seen an angle like that.
Holy hell.
Do you see the height?
[Booker] Check this out.
[Vic] Clearing the distance, he calls it.
Hold it in the road. I talked to him about it earlier.
Said that is a tip of the cap to his grandmother.
He's all about family, friends and having fun.
Je'Von Evans, welcome officially to NXT.
["Who Want It" continues playing]
[heavy metal music]
[Vic] There's the Canadian connection.
Carmen Petrovich trying to prop up
and pump up Natalya,
who's looking to add to her Hall of Fame resume here tonight.
And someone who already thinks
she should be a Hall of Famer
is the two time NXT women's champion, Roxanne Perez.
NXT women's title on the line.
Next live on NXT.
This past Saturday on the Countdown
to Stand & Deliver,
Joe Gacy was getting ready to go one on one with Shawn Spears,
where Ridge Holland emerged with a steel chair
to drop Joe Gacy.
The reason that's interesting to me
is because Ridge Holland was on the Countdown show
as a panel host.
No. More importantly,
did you see the look in Ridge Holland eyes?
That right there told me a story, man. Oh, yes.
Earlier today, our very own Kelly Kincaid
was trying to catch up with Ridge Holland.
[heavy metal music]
-I'll be ready like two minutes. -Sounds good.
NXT Live coming to Davenport, Florida
on Friday and Venice on Saturday.
That's easy. I think I can remember that.
Oh, hang on.
Hey, Ridge.
Hey, how are you doing?
I'm okay, Kelly.
What's going on?
Because first you said that you were stepping away
and then you were on the panel on Saturday,
which was great, by the way.
Then you hit Joe Gacy with a chair at Stand & Deliver.
We're all kind of shocked.
Have you seen Joe? I really need to apologize to him.
You know, I just blacked out.
I lost it.
Ridge.
Hey, man, it's okay. I understand.
I mean, you went from being a WWE superstar
inside of the ring to the biggest show of the year,
being a panelist, not inside of the ring.
I understand that's gotta mess with your head, right?
-I gotta deal with this. -I get it.
[indistinct] apologize. It's time to do the right thing.
[Joe] Ridge, where are you going?
Hey, man.
Real quick.
Can I just say,
we knew the Ridge Holland
who was destroying people on Smackdown.
So we're not buying this little apology tour.
Come on, man, you are not fooling us.
What the hell, man?
What was that? Hey, come on.
What? I suppose that was an accident too, right?
Come on.
Cruz.
Yo, we need some help.
["New Foundation" playing]
[Vic] It's like a series of unfortunate events
for Ridge Holland.
But we turn our attention now
to the NXT Women's Championship.
It's the Boat versus the Prodigy.
Our general manager Ava has been cooking.
She left you hanging, by the way.
Gave me a high five. Thank you very much.
She knows who you're going to be rooting for in this matchup.
Natalya has done everything
under the sun in this company.
But one thing, the NXT Women's champion.
Does that change here tonight?
We've been talking about Saturday a lot.
We just talked about the Countdown show. We talked about Stand & Deliver.
Over 201,000 individual tickets sold
for all the events in Philadelphia.
Over 201,000. Smackdown, Hall of Fame.
Stand & Deliver. Two nights of WrestleMania.
-Monday Night Raw. -["All Fall Down" playing]
[Booker] Quiet please.
[Vic] You gonna make me stand up again?
[Booker] Quiet, please. Quiet on the set.
[Vic] [indistinct].
["All Fall Down" playing]
[Vic] I don't think everyone here
is gonna be quiet like you want them to be.
On the heels of the biggest weekend of her career,
a victory over Indi Hartwell
on The Raw after WrestleMania,
all the momentum is on the side
of the Prodigy.
But will her second reign…
be over in moments?
She could be kissing that title goodbye.
[Booker] I'm so proud of Roxanne Perez
and what she's done over these last couple of years.
She's done so much. She is truly a prodigy.
[bell rings]
The following contest scheduled for one fall…
[crowd] One fall!
Is for the NXT Women's Championship.
[crowd cheers]
Introducing first, the challenger,
Natalya.
[crowd cheers]
And her opponent.
She is the NXT
Women's champion,
Roxanne Perez.
[crowd cheers]
[Vic] Roxanne Perez has been talking a lot.
She's been very rude, as Natalya put it.
And Perez has already talked about the WWE draft.
Perez could be a draft candidate.
-You saw Natalya on Monday Night Raw. -[bell rings]
Monday Night Raw could draft Roxanne Perez.
The draft right around the corner begins April 26th on Smackdown.
Continues April 29th on Monday Night Raw.
You've been a part of several drafts.
[Booker] Yes, I have.
I'mma tell you right now, Roxanne Perez would be a huge gift for Raw
or Smackdown. Trust me on that.
[Vic] Roxanne Perez used to admire…
Natalya, you remember the picture Perez showed the world?
Fifteen years old, standing outside waiting for Natalya.
[Booker] You talking about that little girl, right?
You talking about that little girl?
Right now we're looking at a grown woman
inside the middle of the square circle,
and she is the NXT Women's champion.
Her name is Roxanne "the Prodigy" Perez.
[Vic] To your point, Perez said that she is now her own hero.
But Natalya, the challenger tonight
warned Roxanne Perez last night,
she warned her not to interrupt her,
to not be rude and to maybe question…
-[Booker] Oh! -[crowd] Ooh!
[Vic] I was gonna say question her actions.
But there's no going back after a slap.
And maybe that's exactly what Roxanne Perez needed
to have a little sense slapped into her
by Natalya.
[Booker] Take nothing away from Natalia.
She is truly the renaissance woman of the WWE.
I'm talking about the rebirth.
She hadn't missed a step.
Roxanne needs to be very careful
in this matchup.
[Vic] Natalya has held gold on Smackdown.
Has held the women's tag team gold,
has had WrestleMania victories, six Guinness book of world records.
Can she add the NXT women's title tonight?
[crowd] Nattie, Nattie!
[Vic] Back live on NXT,
the NXT Women's Championship is on the line.
As you witnessed throughout the commercial break.
Things got a little too close out here.
[Booker] Roxanne's on fire.
[Vic] Right now it is Natalya trying to turn her fortunes around
in this matchup and maybe looking for a submission,
but at least to soften up the knees,
soften up the back with that patented sharpshooter
she tried to lock on earlier tonight
when the challenge was made.
Natalya's gotta watch those shoulders now.
Referee's in great position.
Just tricky on the official.
You gotta watch your shoulders
and you gotta see if Roxanne will submit.
[crowd cheers]
[Vic] Perez was able to get out nicely
and able to roll to some sort of freedom.
Bounce right up and then get taken down.
-Title on the line. -[Booker] Come on!
-[Vic] [indistinct]. -[Booker] So close.
I was going to ask about Roxanne Perez,
but I want to talk about Natalya.
Why does she still feel the need to improve herself at every level?
[Booker] You mean Natalya? This is where it all started.
Grinding with Roxanne Perez going out there and proving herself.
Not on a daily basis, not on a weekly basis.
-Year round. -[Vic] Oh!
[Booker] That's what Natalya has been all about.
[Vic] We saw Tatum Paxley put Lyra Valkyria
into the steel steps very eerily
like that earlier tonight into that inch arm.
But now it's Perez turning things around
with that suplex right here.
And basking.
-[Booker] Truly a different Roxanne Perez. -[crowd boos]
How's that feel?
[Vic] NXT Universe beside themselves
here for this new vicious side of Perez.
-[official] One, two. -[Vic] Into the cover to retain
and Natalya able to kick out.
Look, Perez was vindicated on Saturday.
She erased a blemish against Indi Hartwell.
-Those are her words, not mine. -[crowd] Nattie!
[Vic] Last night on the Raw after Wrestlemania.
She made history.
Yes, becoming a two time women's champion.
Joining only Shayna Baszler and Charlotte
as women to hold that title twice… In another near fall.
But don't you think Roxanne Perez
in this attitude, this arrogance,
-she's going a little too far? -[Booker] I know.
-Can I tell you? -[crowd] Let's go Nattie!
[Booker] She learned from that first run.
You can love the people,
but you can't do it for the people,
you gotta do it for yourself.
That's what Roxanne Perez,
that's what she is right now.
She's competing on another level, man.
[Vic] With the body scissors, turning around into the cover
and able to roll through and back was the challenger.
Nobody made Perez's bold prediction.
She said earlier tonight
the next time her title will be taken from her
is when she gets drafted.
[Booker] No, it tells me a whole lot.
It's not gonna be taken away from her,
not gonna be stolen away
from her like it was the last time.
This time you're gonna have to beat her in the middle of that ring.
And Roxanne Perez feel like she is truly the best here in NXT.
[Vic] Perez trying to lock in another submission.
I don't think she has her hands completely grasp.
Natalya did a very nice job of getting back over to her knees
to try to get back to her feet.
-And now overpowering Roxanne Perez. -[crowd] Ooh!
[crowd cheers]
[Vic] It was Natalya who came close
to the NXT women's title a decade ago.
-She fell short to Charlotte Flair. -[crowd] NXT, NXT!
[Vic] She said earlier tonight
it's the one piece of gold
she has never held here in the WWE.
Goes back also to what NXT means
across a platform because you see all sorts of competitors
that have the desire
to return to NXT to test themselves,
whether it's Natalya,
whether it's Otis Tozawa, Becky Lynch.
You can go all the way back to Charlotte, even Finn Balor.
[Booker] Trust me is in your blood. Don't think from time to time,
I don't think about putting the boots on,
brushing the old dust off.
Just one more time. Oh, yes, I think about it.
[Vic] And Natalya now
-off the suplex to win the title. -[crowd] One, two.
[Booker] Oh man.
So close.
-[Vic] We got that left… -[Booker] So close.
[Vic] …just off the mat.
Take another look.
Excellently executed German suplex in a near fall.
-Now trying to overpower… -[crowd] Roxy, Roxy!
[Vic] …Perez one more time. Perez sliding down the back.
There's no way Roxanne Perez wants to go
into the second reign to only hold it for a few days.
-She wants this… -[Booker] Whoa. Beautiful.
[Vic] She never lost the first title she held
here in NXT or the second.
-Off another clothesline, is it enough? -[crowd] One, two.
[Vic] And another near fall…
for the Prodigy being able to kick out.
[Booker] [indistinct] Roxanne. Look at her face.
You can tell she's been in a fight tonight.
-Roxanne… -[Vic] From the sharpshooter.
-[Booker] Whoa. -[Vic] One more time by Perez.
Perez able to roll through. Challenger, shoulders down.
Kick out challenger now turn things around
to win the title. Half second away.
This the first of two championship matches
the tag title still be defended.
Trick Williams here live.
Sharpshooter at work into the cross face.
And this is the submission
she used to win the NXT Women's title.
-Natalya shifts her weight. -[crowd] One, two.
[Vic] Shoulders down in another near fall.
[Booker] Whoa.
[Vic] Perez to the midsection.
Looking for Pop Rox.
Natalya countered it.
And one more time.
-Can she lock in the sharpshooter? -[crowd cheers]
[Booker] I don't like this, Vic.
I don't like it at all.
[Vic] NXT Universe to their feet.
Sharpshooter locked in.
[crowd cheers]
[Vic] The pain shooting through the lower back of Perez.
The official in great position.
Perez slithering all the way.
[Booker] Oh, man.
[Vic] To the bottom rope.
[Booker] Wow.
[Vic] But the damage done to the body of the champion.
[announcer] And quickly, the challenger to the outside
knows she can only win the title in the ring.
What the hell's Lola Weiss doing out here?
The official was checking on Roxanne Perez.
Did not see Lola Weiss, but certainly just saw Pop Rocks.
And Perez
retains.
Here is your winner, Prince. Still the NXT women's champion.
Roxanne Perez.
Wow. Wide LOL of ice.
Need to stick her nose into this matchup.
This happened earlier in the match.
I mean, both these women were very physical in this. There, you see?
The official didn't see exactly what happened, but we saw that
blatant kick from Lola Weiss and Italia.
They've had their own issues, but the issue's not on hand.
Roxanne Perez owes a fake thank you
to Lola Vice as she retains her NXT
Women's championship.
What a fight. Big. What a fight.
But as we mentioned, the NXT tag team titles still to be defended.
Big boy, you ready?
-You feel good, Nathan? See him again. -They couldn't get it done Saturday.
They're not gonna get it done tonight. Now you're finishing people's sentences, huh?
Damn, I hang out with you too much.
You love hanging out with me, so admit it.
No, I will never do that. I will not.
Admit it. You admit something else. Okay, Admit it. That I was right.
About what? Stand and deliver. Your streak, that's dead now.
Common denominator. Me. So admit it.
This is a good thing, huh? You were reluctant.
You didn't want to do it. Look at us. Look at us. Admit it's good.
Okay. There we go. Let's go right here.
-I'm not gonna admit it. -Cause you want me to admit it.
So have a good one.
Just irritate.
Get off. Dogs. You're like, yeah,
I hate when you slap me.
[announcer] Time to get my biggest WrestleMania ever.
Not just a tagline, because the Numbers don't lie and this is unbelievable.
Over 700 million views made
this weekend in Philadelphia, the most viewed weekend in WrestleMania history.
And one of the most talked about moments was Damian Priest cashing in his money
in the bank briefcase to capture the world Heavyweight championship.
Today Priest celebrated with Juan Soto and the New York Yankees.
Even the AL east leading pinstripes rise for the judgment day.
Lola, why you cross out of the NXT women's championship match?
Never question his eyes. Cuz I can.
Cuz I'm sick and tired of waiting for opportunities
and instead I'm making my own.
Lola, Vice has arise everywhere.
I see the NXT women's champion
and I can't wait for the NXT Women's North American championship.
Did you see?
[announcer] Well, Booker, things breaking down.
Obviously Natalya is pissed.
Get off her.
Might need to get a few more officials to separate those two.
Let them fight.
Let them fight. Let them fight.
The following contest is a tag team match. Critical one fall.
Introducing first they on NXT Heritage cup champions
no Quarter Catch Crew.
Which two members
will compete tonight?
It'll be Miles Born and Damon Kemp.
It's all about family.
I don't think the family really cares about the Kemp's claws.
They're here to fight
[upbeat music playing]
And their opponent a company.
But Adriana Rizzo representing the Dangero family,
Luca Crucifino and Channing Stats Lorenzo, well,
we know they're not in the best moods after what happened at Stand and Deliver
in the NXT championship matchup.
We saw the interaction all these superstars
had earlier tensions running high.
Book, we're on the heels of Stand and Deliver, the biggest one ever,
the biggest WrestleMania weekend of all time.
Yes, indeed. I'm looking forward to this tag team matchup.
Me being a aficionado myself,
I'm looking forward to seeing who's gonna break out here
in this tag team division because it's getting stacks.
No pun intended.
I like what you did there.
You take a look at no Quarter Catch Crew, though.
The NQCC, all the members want to stand out.
Of course, you know Charlie Dempsey was able to win the Heritage cup,
which is seated to your right as we see a quick tag made.
It was nice take down by Damon Kemp.
And right in.
Now comes Myles Born and I take down in his own right.
You know, Miles, he was born to compete.
His genetic code is just different when he's able to step foot in NXT ring and
Damon Kemp thinks like seems like a guy that you would want to mold like a
piece of clay.
Definitely a guy that's Looking to be a player in this business
under the expert tutelage of one group.
LE has grown exponentially over the past three months, Vic.
Well, now you see Stacks, who made the tag in, and he's showing Luca Crucif
how they used to be like late payments of the Waste management funds.
I say that allegedly, by the way.
Those aren't facts, but allegedly, late payments right here.
Stacks is coming out. Just. Just letting it all hang out.
Nothing fancy or anything like that, but very effective, no?
What do you think went through the mind of the family?
They were just helpless ringside Saturday because the Don wanted to battle the czar
and have a fair fight to the end.
You know, I can't believe Tony D's the integrity of the man.
-He really stepped up. -Oh, that was a spicy meatball.
Was a big shot.
And now look at Crucifino and Stats working in tandem.
Oh, here we go. Here we go. Oh, yes.
The official stepping in, doing his job.
-But take a look at Stacks. -Oh, and he didn't.
The official NC Charlie FC save Miles Born.
They always say no pity, no remorse.
And they are now showing no pity on the underboss of the family.
I like this kid. Miles. Miles. Point. He made. He made the right decision.
He made the right decision.
Let me give with a team that's going to take me straight to the top.
And now he has championship, championship clout.
It's not exactly what I thought you were about to say.
I thought you were about to tell him about championship teams and
-wishes and all that stuff. -He got that too. He got.
-He got a little bit of that. -Oh, yeah. Nice combination offense.
Kemp who floats over into the cover and a near fall in this matchup.
And look, it was Stack who earlier, by the way, to get back to this matchup, who said
he didn't think that Dempsey and the rest of the no quarter catch
crew wanted to get their hands dirty.
Well, I think he just may be thinking a little bit different right now because.
Oh, wow. Damon K and Miles Bo is doing work. Here we go.
Kick out. You see that combination offense, though.
Talk about what goes down in the gym.
That was a German suplex drop kick combo out of nowhere.
-And now Miles Born right back in control. -What I like about camping, Bo right now,
they keep keeping Stacks real close to the body, baby. Oh, oh.
They were keeping him close to the corner, but now in comes Luca Crucifino.
Crucifino is on fire.
Wow.
Adding a big. Oh, a nice little hip toss neck breaker combo.
He can do. He can get it done in the courtroom.
He can get it done. In the ring.
Charlie Dempsey again running interference.
All that little distraction, that's. That's all that may have taken.
-Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. -Oh, throw it first.
Went Crucifino on the kick out. Jumping neck breaker connects by Born.
Can't have the family on the back foot as Damon right back in.
Uh oh. Nice job by Crucifino.
And that was a miscommunication as now Dempsey is going to pay.
-Referee doing his best to get in. -Oh, wait a minute.
-Wow. -Talk about high impact offense.
Dempsey dumped to the outside. [bell ringing]
Crucifino beat Kemp. The family picks up the win.
Here are your winners.
The team up, Kenny, Jack Lorenzo
and Luca Crucifino.
We know where the Don is on vacation.
He is certainly smiling
because the family just beat the no quarter
catch crew tonight on NXT.
If that tag match doesn't show why we have the best women's division in
all of professional wrestling, then I have no idea what does.
I truly believe that the women are the backbone of NXT.
That is why I am so excited and honored
to announce that soon we will be crowning
the first ever women's NXT North American champion.
Booker, that was a monumental announcement
made by the youngest general manager in WWE history, by the way.
I just want to point that out. Ava here in NXT.
Just how big is that announcement of the new women's North American?
Ava is shaking it up right here. NXT man.
Please welcome hand still your NXT North American champion,
Obafemi.
[upbeat music playing]
Look, it was a big weekend for Obafemi,
but I want to talk about what is draped over his shoulder.
The North American title.
Think about how big of a weekend it was for former North American champions
on SmackDown. WrestleMania SmackDown.
It was Bronson Reed who won the Andre the Giants memorial battle Royal.
And then it was on WrestleMania Sunday, Damian Priest cashed in the money in
the faint contract to become the WWE World Champion.
There could be a lot in the future, and I believe there is for Oba Femi.
Yes, indeed.
Just that walk to the ring tells me a whole lot of me.
This is a man's man right here, Oba Femi.
And he is the North American, the reigning North American champion.
Some things in life are just inevitable.
Going into stand and deliver, I didn't just believe.
I knew that I was going to retain my North American championship.
And I knew that it was going to be the genesis of my rule over this division.
And I was glad to find out that I was proven correct.
Nobody can deny the impressiveness of Josh Briggs and Dijak.
But that means my victory over those two times.
Titans establish me at the top of the mountain that nobody can climb.
17,000 people witness my power.
Every crushing blow, every earth shattering slam.
But the only thing I could think of was this very moment in this ring, right now,
after the fact, standing in front of all of you, still.
Still, The North American champion.
And that's not going to change for a very, very long time.
And that
is inevitable.
[crowd cheering]
[upbeat music playing]
Oba,
I can tell by the look on your face you didn't foretell that I'd be here tonight.
The whole world is talking about your match from Saturday.
And when I saw that match,
when I saw that match, I loved the chaos.
Three big men beating the hell out of each other,
desperately trying to win that championship.
Oh, but that is exactly the type of fight that I live for.
Iver. Iva, I know you didn't travel all this way just to come here and exalt me
and give me compliments. Tell me, what do you want?
What do I want?
Oba
Man, when I watched your match,
I felt a deep,
deep jealousy.
And not just for that championship around your shoulder.
Because I wanted to be in the fight.
Briggs and Dijak threw everything they had at you,
but you remain the immovable object.
But as I look at you now,
I know
that I'm the man who can chop you down.
And I'm the man who can take that North American championship.
We shall see.
Yeah, you're right. We'll see.
Homer strikes first.
But over right now is getting rocked.
Whoa,
whoa.
I'll tell you what.
If I weren't playing for the Vikings, he would have just had a Kyle Br.
No one has ever left Oba lying before.
Are we getting ready to feel the raid,
-Guys? -How is it biggest week in WWE history?
-An M4 kick to all. -Exactly.
Cause we around here breaking records, baby.
-Okay? -The biggest stand and deliver ever.
We hosted the most attended NXT event in history.
When metaphor on the cards,
-the numbers are guaranteed. -Not a doubt.
But speaking of hosting,
-how was I? -You did. Oh, you wanna
please.
Get the money…
Bonus money lollipops. Why the long face?
Hello, long face, huh?
Over Femi, that giant idiot. He thinks he can just come here.
Slamming, slamming the wall. Biggest show.
Biggest show because of the year. And everybody is like, oh, bye.
So great. He's so dominant, huh? Dominate my ass.
I'm going to be the guy who's going to end that, Ryan.
Trust me.
Hey, what is all this? You think I cannot finish him or what?
No, we believe here, but we just want you to calm down. I'll calm down.
I just got finished watching the show back and I saw that little skit you did of me.
That was. That was awesome. Which. Which one? You came up with that idea?
Well, Ms. Jackson, I've got this duck. That was my idea.
And now I can see why you're so miserable all the time down there all alone,
lawn wandering about in the dark. Let me give you some advice.
You need less ratio, more sunshine. Okay?
-So please knocks next time. Thank you. -Yeah, that's great advice.
Consider this your warning. Everybody gets one.
You won't get another
-Warning from Dijak. -It's a metaphor.
But there are the undefeated Tag Team Champions. Champions.
Baron Corbin, Braun Breaker.
They are set to defend their titles once again against the challengers,
the Supersonic Duo. But it's all or nothing this time.
Because if Frazier and Axiom cannot capture the gold,
they can never team together again.
[OTM's music playing]
The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
Introducing course representing OTM,
-Shayna Parker. -New era of NXT
has been on display all night long.
We've talked about that tag team title match still to come, Book.
Also Trick Williams. Still to come.
He's here live tonight. Yes.
When we talk about the women's division, we got to talk about this lady right here,
-Jaida Parker. -Looking to get one on the.
On the notch. One notch on the belt here tonight.
She wants to turn things around for otm. Yes.
Wonder if she's still thinking about Scripps loss from earlier tonight.
Make some noise, man. Come on. Let him
know he knows. Let him go.
Hey. Opponent of Trinity by Malik Blade with Eoris Enofe.
Brinley Reece with your favorite tandem in NXT.
And Reece is a lot of energy, but she too overly excited sometimes.
Tuesday after Mania for someone like Ripley Reece.
And from across in front of an audience like the NXT universe,
It's gonna be huge for…
Standing liver fallout being felt here tonight.
Look here. Look here.
Look at Jaida Parker. She looks cool, calm and collected.
Fit.
She probably also got a mean spirit as well.
But she's not someone you want to meet in the back alley.
Which is what you've told me several times about Jaida Parker.
Well, and the rest of OTF for that matter.
But I do want to ask Book, have you tried any of Brinley's, Reece's PC's powers and
-motivational techniques? -No. You see, it's not her third volume.
You see what it's doing for no fan Blade, right?
It's helping them out.
-You see what it's doing? -It's helping them out.
-They hadn't gotten a win in six months. -But look, they're still motivated.
They're still working in the gym. They're still getting out there.
-They're not running away. -That's very important.
-That is very important. -Thank you.
I'm glad you finally gave them some props because you take a look at Reece,
she's not running away either.
She's trying to stand toe to toe right now with Ms. Parker,
that being Jaida Parker.
And everybody in the women's group, everyone in the women's division
knows about that.
New women's championship on the horizon, The NXT women's title.
Talking about champagne wishes and caviar dreams.
Bounce back against Ms. Parker.
Back on NXT, Jaida Parker has been in control of this matchup in book.
When you think about it, what motivates someone like Ms.
-Parker? -That's. That's Ms. Parker.
Ms. Parker. What I said. You know what? I think it's demonica.
OTM coming up out of the mud, cuz.
Like I said a little while ago, champagne wishes, caviar dream.
That's what motivates you, man. Not, you know, going back to the.
You want.
You want to move up out the ghetto, man, the ghetto sticks. You want more.
When we talk about moving on up, we talk about championships, talking about
before the break, the break, new women's North American championship title.
Just how good is the women's division here at NXT?
Well, let say they stack.
I mean, these two right here, Jaida Parker,
they're new to the game, but they trust me.
-They trust me. They. They want more. -They want more.
They want to move up the ladder, and they're willing to work for it.
That's what it's all about here at NXT.
And Reece right now trying to control the body of Parker.
And Parker just overpowered.
Take a look. There's also a lot on the outside.
OTM very close to us here on the near side of the ring.
On the far side is Malik, is Blade, and I'm sure you side with
OTM for those on the inside.
Why I got to side with somebody?
Does he ever say anything nice about Idris?
-Marker into the COVID hook of the leg. -And Reece, I'm unbiased.
What are you talking about?
So if OTM, Malik and Idris got in a fight, who would you pick?
-I'm not going to be picking anybody. -I'm not going to be root.
That might be the nicest everywhere that match. They're just going to win.
It's about competition.
I've said that once, I said a thousand times, just like this match right here,
Brinley Reece get a big victory.
She's going to the pay window, man. Oh, yes.
She's in the center of the ring.
And Parker has done a nice job for the last,
I'd say about four or five minutes of controlling the body of Reece.
-Total control, man. -That's the thing right here.
I don't know how much they got left in her body,
but she's going to have to suck it up
and she to get a win here tonight.
We talk about all those motivational speeches.
We talk about high energy, we talk about patience.
We talk about positivity.
That is what Reece represents. And in this moment, Reece, wow.
All of her teachings to overcome.
And there you see Idris, there you see Malik on the outside.
They're shouting words of encouragement as Reece charging in with a clothesline
with a little extra up into the covered.
-Wow. Parker kicking out at 2. -That was close.
Al was very innovative. Look at the bounce. Look at the impact.
High octane offense from Reece who answers right back with a forearm.
And for Reece and for Park. You know, you said this, I think a few moments ago,
You know, two women that are newer to the division here in NXT,
relative unknowns
where they are making their names known here tonight.
Nice spine buster into the cover and the shoulder just gets up.
Talking about a win, Vic.
A win would do so much for the confidence for either one of these two young ladies.
-That's a good point. -That's a very good point.
As re trying to power up Parker. Parker, though, able to shift.
-Big shot, nasty big shot, rip shot. -We have seen that lower body, that back.
That is what Parker's been focusing on with a lot of the
submissions in the center of the ring.
Oh, I love the talking the trash talk, but.
Oh, whoa, are you talking about.
-You talking about a hip check? -Parker drops Reece.
-Here is your winner, Jaida Parker. -It's like a drive by, man.
Well, Parker turning things around tonight for OTM,
-Right? -And your hair.
And I was trying to tell Jordan, Regina, you must be beautiful at all times.
So you're always ready.
Like I was at stand and deliver on the countdown panel.
So
we're close.
So I can tell you this, but I was the best kept secret of WrestleMania weekend.
Also, can you believe it?
There's an NXT Women's North American championship.
No, right? I'm so excited.
-I totally have to on that. -Oh, that's nice.
Oh, perfect timing. I loved our combo. Gotta Go take this. Georgina. You win.
Natalia thinks she could come to the next deal and do whatever she wants.
Does she know who I am? I can take an affair fight.
I can take anyone in this locker room in a fair fight.
I get it that you're frustrated, but Natalia did beat you.
And I mean she is the boat.
You should have known that she going to come for payback since you were the one
that cost her the NXT Women's Championship.
Literally anyone here would
Mira, I don't know what beach hole you crawled out of,
but you could go back there.
A lot has changed since you've been gone.
[foreign dialogue speaking]
Whatever, dude.
[rock music playing]
Has not been the best night for Lola Vice.
Slow down.
But this is it, Book.
If this duo loses, they can never team
for the tag team titles again.
They feel that they could beat the champions
based off of they pushed them to the limits in all the matches
that they've had against one another.
But it is a high stakes match for Axiom and Frazier here tonight.
Unbeaten as a team,
confident as ever
and are rolling in here
as one of the most dominant duos in recent memory.
Baron Corbin, Braun Breaker. That long Wolf,
Ron Breaker. No bread,
No water.
Just me in a deep bag…
extraordinaire. Oh, yes, man.
[bell ringing]
The following contest scheduled for one fall is for the NXT Tag Team Championship.
Introducing first the challengers,
the team of Nathan Fraser in Axiom.
And their opponents,
they are the NXT Tag Team Champions,
Baron Corbin and Braun Breaker.
We've been talking about our general manager a lot.
We know that the draft is coming up.
We know the NXT
women's division has the women's North American title coming its way.
But do you agree with Ava's decision
of allowing the challengers to have yet another opportunity?
If they don't get it done, they're out of chance.
I know it was a great match at Stan to deliver, but this is unprecedented. What?
The challengers get an immediate rematch after getting beaten in the middle
of that squad circle I'm talking about.
It was a definitive victory for Braun Breaker and Baron Corbin.
This is unreal.
I can't believe it.
I think Nathan and Axiom though, they have somewhat of a point.
They have. What kind of point?
They have pushed the tag team champions dual limit.
They think they have a game plan put together. I can't argue with them.
I don't think it was as clear cut and
as dominant as you believe is this nice arm drag.
Followed up with a kick right to the back of the head. A modified Insiguri by Axiom.
But I will say this to you,
I'm not going to argue your point with you.
But if they do they stick with the game plan they had Saturday,
or do they switch it all up, knowing how high the stakes are tonight?
And that question pertains to the challenges,
speed, the impact of Broad Breaker.
Well, let me tell you something, Nathan. Crazy in action.
They only made one mistake. Instead, they deliver.
And it cost them the tag team championship to stick to the game plan.
Take another look at the speed and the impact.
And I don't know if anyone caught the viral video
that was going out there,
but at Saturday's end and deliver at the Wells Fargo center,
he hit the rope so hard,
much like we just saw Frazier do Broad Breaker after
-actually shifted the ring. -He hit it so hard.
But now the game plan changed.
So as I was saying, what do you think the challengers
have seen that they can crack some sort of code here against the championship?
Like I say, the game, game plan was solid on Saturday night.
Excuse me, Saturday afternoon.
But the thing is, Baron Corbin.
Oh, just had a little bit more. Just like that shot right there.
He got tangled up a little bit. This is chess, Vic.
It ain't check.
Well, the challengers getting tossed around in this matchup.
Again, it's for the NXT tag team titles.
We're all feeling the stand and deliver fallout.
This the second championship match of the night.
Nice tag was made off the counter.
Oh, wow.
I know when to throw hands with Baron Corbin.
Because you throw a right hand like that at the state fair,
you're usually leaving with a stuffed animal.
-Former Golden Glove boxer. -Guy can actually do it all. Well.
Breaker on the outside and take a look who's standing right now.
Axiom picking up some speed.
Taking out Corbin.
Fraser taking out Breaker.
The challenger standing tall and they are never slowing down.
Take it to the game plan, man. Stick it to the game plan.
They know if they lose, they gotta go their separate ways.
Big Moonsault.
Champions reeling. Challengers flowing.
Don't miss a second for this tag team title match.
Back live on NXT, the NXT tag team titles on the line.
The champions Braun Breaker.
Baron Corbin never defeated.
In control this match was Braun tagging out.
And look, you competed against Braun's dad and his uncle.
But is Braun Breaker the true genetic freak of his family? Oh, man,
think about that for a second,
cuz off that innovative tag team offense was a near.
Is a combination between Rich Steiner and Scott Steiner created this hybrid freak.
I'm going tell you man, he's better than both of them, huh?
Very creative offense.
Unique blend of speed and power from Braun and Corbin. Talk about tag team titles.
Congrats to awesome Truth Waller Theory
for walking out with their Brand's gold on WrestleMania Saturday.
But Axiom and Frasier were not able to win the NXT tag team titles on Saturday.
They're trying to do so right now, tonight, because it's all on the line.
It's everything or nothing.
If they can't win the titles, they can no longer team with each other.
Springboard. Oh. Got caught, hoisted, and no go.
That's the one stipulation I agree with that they put in place.
If they don't win tonight, they don't get another shot.
-That's motivation, man. -Axiom hit that frog splash.
-Oh. Frazier flying as well. -The 450.
And Axiom was legal in Braun breaking it up.
Look, the challengers have been brought together based on their protective.
450.
I'm seeing that it's the respect
for each other as competitors that almost made them champions in that moment,
if not for Baron Corbin. Corbin just catching Frazier.
Squeezing away
-As Axiom now poised and got cold. -Got dropped. That's one.
We know what this means, Nick. And Corbin is holding. Thank them.
Forcing him to watch. What's about to happen to Axiom.
His friend is about to get planted. His tag team is about to be broken.
And just like his championship dreams, Axiom kicked out.
What do they need to do to beat the challengers?
What going up? We're going to have to do something. You talked about Saturday.
You talked about the past, but right now,
the challengers are fighting for a little bit more.
And it's going to take a little bit extra tonight for the champions. Axiom, though,
-Counter on Corbin. -Corbin hit.
Breaker, breaker. Just got caught.
-Frazier just got tagged. -Big drop kick.
Braun is teaching.
Whoa.
-But Axiom just got dropped. -Big shot. Big shot. Here we go.
We about to clean house right now, Vic. We about to go.
-We're about to go home, man. Wow. -That Steiner special.
Oh. Axiom.
At the last moment, Axiom was able to wake up.
What a shot.
[crowd chanting "NXT"]
-Axiom. -Frazar say they never slow down tonight.
They're never giving up.
You talk about strength in Corbin and Braun,
we know that the strong survive, but the courageous will,
they triumph.
And that's what Frazier trying to do right now.
Caught Corbin. Corbin rocked.
Corbin bouncing back in, going low, taking out the knees.
-Frazier reaching out, making the tag. -Axiom. Super kick under the jaw.
Corbin, I just looked up. I think he got buckled to one knee.
-But if he's still standing. -Oh, yes.
-Oh, it's not. -Oh, no. Oh, my God. Man.
What's it going to take to get the Champions down?
Big knee drop. Breaker
And Axiom now just turning right around.
-And maybe the strong triumph as well. -Yeah, Jackson's all on his own right now.
He's gonna have to play special.
Going up, going around. Breaker, not falling for it.
Just looking for ended days. Wow, that spear got caught with a golden ratio.
They're sticking to the game plan book.
I don't know if there's a game plan for that.
Just got caught and turned inside out there by Baron Corbin.
Baron's gonna go for it right here. Oh, wow.
I thought he was looking for ended age. Dropped. Another short kick.
Oh, super kick from Frazier.
Frazier coming right back in. Another jumping knee by Breakker.
What action. It's for the tag team titles. We said it was a new era.
We said it was a new vibe, but it's the same. Braun Breakker.
Whoa.
Are you okay? Are you okay?
Frazier and Axie left from behind. Bronze out. Golden Ratio connects.
Corbin's down. Frazier's climbing.
Phoenix Splash. Cover that man. Cover that man.
The Supersonic duo did it.
Here are your winners and the new NXT tag team champions.
Nathan Frazer and Axiom.
-Wow. -Man. Standing ovation
from the NXT universe.
I can't believe what I just witnessed.
Because nothing the Champions did tonight kept the challengers down.
They say it all the time. Never slow down, never stop moving.
Whether it was jumping, sliding, kicking or hopping, they were able to stay
one step ahead of the Champions tonight. And this the closing moments.
Broad Breaker wiped out of the situation.
Awkward golden ratio. The Phoenix splash hit perfectly.
And the Supersonic duo captures gold for the first time.
Congratulations to the new measuring stick
in the tag team division here in NXT.
Holy hell.
Oh, my God. Oh, my go.
Yeah.
It's the final Testament. Paul Ellering.
These guys just went through a hell of a tag match. Brook,
Welcome to the party.
Welcome to the body battle. Oh, yes.
We've learned to expect the unexpected.
But no, no one thought the final testament
would be brought to NXT.
Because now a dark cloud certainly has arrived.
But as stunned as I still am from what we just witnessed,
there is the stand and deliver main event Winner
-Williams is here to celebrate NEXT. -Minute.
[upbeat music playing]
And Booker, we've talked about this new era.
It was ushered in this past weekend in Philadelphia.
-The largest ever attended NXT event. -What a week it was.
I mean, the talent, standout performances all night long.
Oh, we're talking about the North American championship match,
which was defended in a triple threat match.
We received an update actually from WWE medical on Josh Briggs.
He sustained two cracked ribs in that triple threat match.
Hopefully we'll have more of an update on Josh Briggs over time
and you can keep a lock to WWE on social media.
But we want to also let you know of some breaking news
because two weeks from tonight, it's our next massive TV special.
It's going to be a two week event.
It's NXT spring breaking coming your way April 23rd and April 30th.
Let's talk about what's going to happen next week here live on NXT
because we heard Ridge Holland earlier
and we heard what he had said and he confessed and he said that
he's messing up his actions and he's trying to apologize.
But what happened earlier, Ridge is going to meet Joaquin Wild
who is done with the fake apologies from Holland.
Those two meet one on one.
Bruno Amdar, he's putting metaphor out.
Is back after Dijak gave everyone their one warning
for their actions on Saturday.
Will Dijak serve up his brand of justice next week on NXT?
And things are heating up in the women's division after the announcement
of the women's North American title.
Well, these two would love to be champions.
So next week, the calm, cool, collected Sal Ruka
will face the feisty roll of ice.
It's all going down next week live right here on ED X.
[crowd chanting]
Yeah.
I like it. Oh, that bad. Oh, that bad. Oh, that bad.
That's trick, y'all.
Oh, yeah,
I love it.
Hey, y'all, check it out, check it out, check it out.
We went to Philly.
We stood,
we delivered, we went to war.
And hear me, NXT is hotter now than it's ever been.
It's because of everyone right here in this building.
And I appreciate y'all, for real.
-But don't get it twisted. -NXT is breaking record records.
We went to Philly, we had over 16,000 in that building chanting.
I know y'all feeling it because I'm feeling it.
NXT, we marching into a new era. NXT, tell them what we gonna do.
What?
Yeah,
[crowd chanting]
I like it.
I preach. Appreciate that. But now, hear me out. Hear me out, Hear me out.
Hear me out. Y'all don't see me right here in this ring.
Y'all don't see me right here in this position without one man,
and that's Carmelo Hayes.
Listen to me. I may not agree with Carmelo Hayes.
What he did, how he did it or when he did it or whatever.
But one thing remains.
Carmelo Hayes is him.
And that's why I had to show the world.
That's why I had to show him exactly who Trick Williams is.
Let's talk about it
Now at WrestleMania,
everybody's saying they saw Bayley get her title.
Everybody saw Cody Rhodes
defeat Roman Reigns and finish his story.
Which leaves me. It makes me think about it.
What's next in line for Trick Williams?
What's the next chapter for Trick Williams?
And as I hopped on that plane back to Orlando,
I couldn't help but smile because I know what's next for Trick Williams.
I think y'all know what next Patrick Williams.
If I want to go to the next level, if I want to be the man right here,
I need to slay that mad dragon for the NXT championship.
So ill y'all know you back there in the back,
I need for you to come on out here and let's talk about it.
[music playing]
Quite the challenge thrown out by Trick Williams
to a man who defeated the Dimes
and stand and delivered to remain
the NXT champion.
And also someone we know book that is never afraid of a fight.
If he wasn't a believer before standing live a vic, you are truly a believer now,
Trick Williams, the main event of Stand and Deliver.
I am so, so proud of the Superstar that you have become.
You have something that no one else in WWE possess.
It's that Trick Willie charisma.
You are exactly what this brand needs, right?
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold on now. Hold on.
I think what this brand needs is trick Williams vs.
Ilya Dragunov for that championship. Right, right there. One more time,
Trick.
Trick, you are feeling it right now. You're full of yourself, as you should be.
You just got your revenge on Carmelo Hayes at Stand and Deliver,
and you're feeling like you are at the top of the world right now.
You are a leader of a hungry luck
locker room filled by young and hungry competitors. And I see it in your eyes.
You won another shot at my championship.
And my answer is
no.
Trick, you had your chance and you failed.
And now it's time that another Superstar gets the opportunity where you failed at.
-Hold on, dog, hold on. -I know you the man here.
I know you've been championship here, right here at NXT for a while.
But who do I need to beat to get my opportunity?
What gauntlet I need to go through so I can get my title shot?
You need to understand there's nothing or no one who's going to stop me from
my shot at that champion championship.
Trick, persistence is a great attribute,
it truly is, and I totally appreciate that.
But I also know you are a risk taker. You bet on yourself every single time.
But here is the biggest risk you will ever take.
What's it going to be? What's the stakes? I want that championship.
You want a shot in my championship More than anything.
You got your NXT championship match in two weeks at Spring Breaking.
[crowd cheering]
But
if you lose
when I beat you,
you leave NXT.
Ilya.
If I can't defeat you,
if I can't slay the Mad Dragon for that championship,
I don't belong here in NXT.
I accept your challenge at Spring Breaking.
-Let's set Spring Breaking. -The NXT title on the line.
Trick Williams is risking it all to face the man,
Carmelo Hayes.
This mother.
Wow.
He's not going to stand around and let Trick get anywhere near that NXT title.
You ain't gonna make it to Spring Breaking
because next week, I'm gonna beat your ass in the steel cake, sucker.
Did you hear what Carmelo Hayes just said?
Hayes wants Trick Williams one more time,
but this rivalry is headed to another level.
Hayes Williams in a seal cage match next week on NXT.
