1
00:00:03,837 --> 00:00:04,838
[Announcer] Then,

2
00:00:05,238 --> 00:00:08,241
[epic music playing]

3
00:00:08,308 --> 00:00:09,309
now,

4
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:15,281
forever,

5
00:00:23,723 --> 00:00:24,724
together.

6
00:00:26,793 --> 00:00:29,796
[music stops]

7
00:00:32,699 --> 00:00:38,038
This is the biggest moment
of my life, and I'm ready for it.

8
00:00:38,705 --> 00:00:43,676
[announcer] Wes Lee, the greatest
North American champion ever.

9
00:00:43,843 --> 00:00:47,914
[Wes Lee] I'm the new standard
as the NXT North American champion,

10
00:00:47,981 --> 00:00:52,085
-and I will risk everything to keep it.
-[Announcer] Most title defenses.

11
00:00:52,118 --> 00:00:56,089
Longest single reign in the history
of the North American title.

12
00:00:56,256 --> 00:00:57,657
[Wes Lee] I'm a champion.

13
00:00:57,724 --> 00:01:02,662
I want to prove that I can compete
against everyone. Multiple, multi mans.

14
00:01:02,729 --> 00:01:05,832
[Announcer] He's never satisfied.
He wants to prove more.

15
00:01:05,899 --> 00:01:08,868
-[Wes Lee] Open challenges.
-I worry you're gonna waste time.

16
00:01:08,935 --> 00:01:11,638
[Wes Lee] I'm gonna do it again.
Who's stepping up?

17
00:01:11,704 --> 00:01:14,707
[announcer] Wes Lee is putting himself
out there a little too far.

18
00:01:14,774 --> 00:01:18,111
The challenges, you've already proved
to be the North American champion.

19
00:01:18,178 --> 00:01:20,747
[Wes Lee] You should understand
what I go through.

20
00:01:20,814 --> 00:01:22,949
Proving yourself day in and day out.

21
00:01:23,016 --> 00:01:28,021
I was determined that more
meant truly solidifying my legacy

22
00:01:28,088 --> 00:01:30,990
of being the greatest
North American champion in NXT history.

23
00:01:31,591 --> 00:01:36,129
But in the process, I spread myself
too thin, and it came at a cost.

24
00:01:37,363 --> 00:01:38,598
All of you

25
00:01:39,232 --> 00:01:43,103
cheered and supported
and gave me the strength to do

26
00:01:43,169 --> 00:01:45,839
things that I never imagined I could.

27
00:01:46,339 --> 00:01:51,678
That support won't help me right now.
It won't bring back the feeling

28
00:01:51,845 --> 00:01:56,216
to my legs, and it will not eliminate
the excruciating pain that I am in

29
00:01:56,282 --> 00:01:59,452
just by standing in the ring
talking to you right now.

30
00:02:00,186 --> 00:02:03,223
It's gonna take surgery and time.

31
00:02:04,257 --> 00:02:08,528
I had three ruptured discs affecting
two separate nerves, causing numbness

32
00:02:08,595 --> 00:02:11,698
from the waist down
and muscle atrophy on my right side.

33
00:02:11,764 --> 00:02:14,100
I had a three-hour surgery
to correct this.

34
00:02:14,167 --> 00:02:18,905
It was a microdiscectomy
of the L3, L4, and L5 discs.

35
00:02:19,305 --> 00:02:22,842
I should have heeded
all the warnings from everyone around me.

36
00:02:22,909 --> 00:02:26,446
I may have flown
too close to the sun and burned,

37
00:02:27,947 --> 00:02:31,217
but I still rose from the ashes.

38
00:02:32,485 --> 00:02:35,622
[Announcer] He's here! Wes Lee's back!

39
00:02:37,557 --> 00:02:41,294
Wes Lee eyeing up the champ, Oba Femi.

40
00:02:41,361 --> 00:02:45,465
The king of the West side
has returned to NXT.

41
00:02:45,765 --> 00:02:48,735
And now it's time to get back to work.

42
00:02:54,507 --> 00:02:59,379
[indistinct cheers]

43
00:03:03,883 --> 00:03:06,853
-You're the man. Come on.
-I missed this.

44
00:03:08,188 --> 00:03:12,225
It feels good to be home.
We got one goal in mind, though.

45
00:03:12,892 --> 00:03:15,228
Let's go, man!

46
00:03:15,695 --> 00:03:21,167
[crowd chanting "Wes" ]

47
00:03:24,571 --> 00:03:29,175
[crowd cheers and applauds]

48
00:03:29,442 --> 00:03:30,476
[bell rings]

49
00:03:30,710 --> 00:03:34,247
[announcer] The following contest
is scheduled for one fall.

50
00:03:34,314 --> 00:03:39,219
Introducing first, Wes Lee!

51
00:03:39,586 --> 00:03:46,593
[Vic] Man, Book. Does it feel good
to see Wes Lee back in NXT.

52
00:03:48,027 --> 00:03:51,831
[Book] It really does.
You can look at all the hard work

53
00:03:51,898 --> 00:03:57,870
Wes Lee's put into his body this time out.
And trust me, he's gonna need it.

54
00:03:58,037 --> 00:04:04,777
Coming off of a surgically repaired back.
Oh, yes. But I'm glad to see him back.

55
00:04:05,545 --> 00:04:08,147
-[Vic] You gotta think about this too.
-What's that?

56
00:04:08,848 --> 00:04:14,354
[Vic] He's back, but he's jumping
right in the deep waters here tonight.

57
00:04:14,420 --> 00:04:15,421
[Book chuckles]

58
00:04:15,755 --> 00:04:19,225
[rock music with drums building up]

59
00:04:25,164 --> 00:04:30,637
[announcer] And his opponent, Josh Briggs!

60
00:04:30,703 --> 00:04:34,340
[Vic]
He's big, he's bad, he's Briggs.

61
00:04:34,540 --> 00:04:37,910
Did he have a point?
And I want to go back to last week.

62
00:04:38,244 --> 00:04:43,049
He said, "West doesn't just get
to jump the line

63
00:04:43,116 --> 00:04:46,019
now that he's back on Tuesday nights."

64
00:04:46,686 --> 00:04:48,354
[Book] You know, first of all,

65
00:04:48,421 --> 00:04:51,724
Briggs don't look too impressed
of Wes Lee being back.

66
00:04:51,791 --> 00:04:56,362
But to your point, just like
Roxanne Perez, Wes Lee, he lost

67
00:04:56,429 --> 00:04:58,798
his championship due to injury.

68
00:04:58,865 --> 00:05:02,402
He should be number one in line
for that championship.

69
00:05:02,468 --> 00:05:07,640
It should be called "interim championship"
as far as I'm concerned.

70
00:05:07,707 --> 00:05:10,877
[Vic] We're gonna stay
on the flip side, maybe Lee has earned

71
00:05:10,943 --> 00:05:14,747
the right to jump the line
and, whoa, able to roll right…

72
00:05:16,049 --> 00:05:20,687
…through. And I guess we can forget
about the feeling out process for Wes Lee.

73
00:05:20,753 --> 00:05:22,722
He's been cleared, he's been training.

74
00:05:22,789 --> 00:05:28,661
He talked about it just moments ago.
We heard the L3, L4, L5 disc for Wes Lee.

75
00:05:28,728 --> 00:05:31,998
Lee now crucifix shoulders down.
Briggs able to roll through.

76
00:05:32,065 --> 00:05:34,967
Shift that weight slightly,
and it's hard to argue as…

77
00:05:35,034 --> 00:05:37,070
Shoulders down once more, a kick out.

78
00:05:37,136 --> 00:05:39,539
Lee didn't make
the North American title special.

79
00:05:39,605 --> 00:05:41,674
He put that title on the map.

80
00:05:41,741 --> 00:05:43,576
[Book] Greatest of all time

81
00:05:43,643 --> 00:05:46,479
as far as the North American
championship goes.

82
00:05:46,546 --> 00:05:48,881
Tonight we were looking
at Wes Lee. He's back.

83
00:05:48,948 --> 00:05:50,516
We'll see exactly what he has.

84
00:05:50,583 --> 00:05:52,352
-[Vic] Near fall.
-[Book] Oh, whoa.

85
00:05:53,953 --> 00:05:55,054
[Book] That was close.

86
00:05:55,121 --> 00:05:59,092
[Vic] He did so, though,
at a frantic pace and it was at the cost

87
00:05:59,158 --> 00:06:02,862
of his own health. You said multiple times
he was doing too much, too quick.

88
00:06:02,929 --> 00:06:07,066
Briggs was looking to put a footprint
right on that lower back.

89
00:06:07,133 --> 00:06:11,003
[Book] I talked about the battles,
the wars that Wes Lee was putting

90
00:06:11,070 --> 00:06:15,808
himself through ahead. Wes Lee
always fought up to the competition.

91
00:06:15,842 --> 00:06:19,779
He did oh so well, just like that
right there. Beautiful, man.

92
00:06:19,846 --> 00:06:22,014
[Vic] No real effects
yet for Wes Lee,

93
00:06:22,081 --> 00:06:25,151
but how tricky can a back injury
be to navigate?

94
00:06:25,218 --> 00:06:29,288
The back injury for me,
the one that put me on the shelf

95
00:06:29,355 --> 00:06:33,359
for about two months, I had to lay in bed,
and I thought my career was over.

96
00:06:33,426 --> 00:06:36,395
-Just like Wes Lee at one point.
-[Vic] It's not over.

97
00:06:36,462 --> 00:06:38,698
He's back here tonight
taking on Josh Briggs.

98
00:06:38,765 --> 00:06:44,370
Both men focused on Oba Femi, who is
the current North American champion.

99
00:06:44,971 --> 00:06:49,742
Josh Briggs certainly wants
to slow the pace on this match up.

100
00:06:49,809 --> 00:06:54,747
Does not want to let Wes Lee get
any momentum behind him, not allow

101
00:06:54,814 --> 00:06:58,050
the NXT universe to rally around Wes Lee

102
00:06:58,117 --> 00:07:02,421
because we've seen Wes Lee do
many remarkable things inside that ring.

103
00:07:02,822 --> 00:07:06,492
-And almost on point, almost on cue.
-[Book] Too much space there.

104
00:07:06,559 --> 00:07:11,197
You gotta keep this young man right here
real close to the body.

105
00:07:11,264 --> 00:07:14,233
[Vic] We haven't seen Lee
take any high risks yet.

106
00:07:14,433 --> 00:07:16,436
And Lee, looking down,

107
00:07:16,502 --> 00:07:21,874
looking to fly, got caught.
The power of Briggs on display.

108
00:07:21,941 --> 00:07:25,111
[Book] Don't think about it, Briggs.
Just do it, son.

109
00:07:25,645 --> 00:07:26,646
[Vic] Oh!

110
00:07:28,614 --> 00:07:31,083
That certainly will change
the complexion of a match up.

111
00:07:31,150 --> 00:07:34,454
And look at Wes Lee using his environment.

112
00:07:35,688 --> 00:07:36,689
[Referee] Four!

113
00:07:37,423 --> 00:07:41,761
[Vic] Wes Lee picking up
right where he left off.

114
00:07:45,565 --> 00:07:50,236
[Book] Big Josh Briggs is finding out
what this young man is all about here.

115
00:07:50,303 --> 00:07:54,006
-Here we go!
-[Vic] Looking for a cardiac kick,

116
00:07:54,073 --> 00:07:57,109
Wes Lee got caught in a back breaker.
Wait a minute, Booker.

117
00:07:57,477 --> 00:08:02,415
Look who's making his presence felt.
And, oh, just dropping back.

118
00:08:02,482 --> 00:08:07,353
First was Lee, followed by a big splash.
Briggs is in control.

119
00:08:07,420 --> 00:08:11,824
Going into the hook of the leg.
And a kick out. Wes Lee's being tested.

120
00:08:11,891 --> 00:08:15,361
Briggs is in control.
Don't miss a second of the action on NXT.

121
00:08:17,797 --> 00:08:18,798
[crowd clapping]

122
00:08:19,265 --> 00:08:23,970
[Vic] Josh Briggs has been focusing
on the surgically-repaired back of Lee.

123
00:08:24,036 --> 00:08:29,041
Throughout the commercial break, we saw
Lee go spine first into the steel steps.

124
00:08:29,108 --> 00:08:31,611
We have been joined,
as you saw before the break,

125
00:08:31,677 --> 00:08:35,281
by Ivar, who's joining us on commentary.

126
00:08:35,948 --> 00:08:37,250
Thanks for coming out.

127
00:08:37,316 --> 00:08:41,120
[Ivar] Yeah, it is great to be here
and finally be able to show the world

128
00:08:41,187 --> 00:08:43,322
that I'm more than fur and face paint.

129
00:08:43,389 --> 00:08:45,758
[Vic] On that topic,
last week you had it tough,

130
00:08:45,825 --> 00:08:48,160
with the North American champion Oba Femi.

131
00:08:48,327 --> 00:08:52,198
[Ivar] Yeah, well, I guess
he lived up to the hype, let's just say.

132
00:08:52,265 --> 00:08:54,634
And you know what?
Oba Femi may be the future,

133
00:08:54,700 --> 00:08:56,769
but the present
is sitting right next to you.

134
00:08:56,836 --> 00:09:00,506
-[Book] Oh, my God. Say that again.
-[Ivar] The present's sitting right here.

135
00:09:00,573 --> 00:09:04,043
-[Book] Oh, okay. All right.
-[Vic] You wanna question him?

136
00:09:04,110 --> 00:09:06,846
[Book] I meant the part before that,
but I got you.

137
00:09:06,913 --> 00:09:10,216
[Vic] We saw Josh Briggs
a body shot from Wes Lee.

138
00:09:10,283 --> 00:09:12,585
Wes Lee may have been out
for the last six months,

139
00:09:12,652 --> 00:09:17,723
but he knows that it's stand and deliver.
It was two broken ribs

140
00:09:17,790 --> 00:09:22,461
that Briggs suffered, and it's Wes Lee now
going to the body. He did his homework.

141
00:09:22,528 --> 00:09:24,263
He came in tonight prepared.

142
00:09:25,364 --> 00:09:29,168
[Book] He came in prepared, Vic,
but you got to still think about his back.

143
00:09:29,201 --> 00:09:31,704
You got to think
about all the time, the rehab.

144
00:09:31,771 --> 00:09:35,041
And right now, I think Wes Lee came back
a little earlier.

145
00:09:35,107 --> 00:09:39,278
Josh Briggs got a bullseye.
Got a bullseye on that spot.

146
00:09:39,345 --> 00:09:42,081
[Vic] Right back
to that lower back did Briggs go.

147
00:09:42,148 --> 00:09:47,019
Again, there is a target where the scar is
on that surgically-repaired back.

148
00:09:47,086 --> 00:09:50,122
How much more can Wes Lee take?
Into the coverage

149
00:09:50,189 --> 00:09:54,593
and just able to kick out was Wes Lee.

150
00:09:54,660 --> 00:09:58,965
And take another look to see
the impact, the back bending.

151
00:09:59,031 --> 00:10:01,067
And one more time, listen to them.

152
00:10:01,133 --> 00:10:05,571
Feel that impact of Wes Lee
in the center of the ring.

153
00:10:05,638 --> 00:10:07,239
[Book] That's a great game plan,

154
00:10:07,306 --> 00:10:11,243
being executed right now
by the big man, Josh Briggs.

155
00:10:11,310 --> 00:10:13,846
I'm gonna tell you right now,
there's something waiting

156
00:10:13,913 --> 00:10:18,017
at the end of the rainbow for Josh
if he can win this match here tonight.

157
00:10:18,084 --> 00:10:19,285
[Vic] And we know

158
00:10:19,885 --> 00:10:22,955
for Wes Lee that he will not give up.

159
00:10:23,022 --> 00:10:25,825
Still to come here tonight,
Trick Williams, the NXT champion

160
00:10:25,891 --> 00:10:27,727
on the Supernova Sessions.

161
00:10:27,793 --> 00:10:32,098
What is in the envelope
being carried by Lash Legend?

162
00:10:32,164 --> 00:10:35,101
-What a kick.
-[Ivar] That was in there.

163
00:10:35,167 --> 00:10:37,570
[Vic] Lee answered right back
for a second time.

164
00:10:37,637 --> 00:10:39,238
And Ivar, you're sitting here.

165
00:10:39,305 --> 00:10:42,208
What do you think of both
these competitors in there?

166
00:10:42,908 --> 00:10:46,612
-Dropping Briggs to the outside.
-[Ivar] They work hard, but not as me.

167
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:52,852
[Book] Oh, I don't like this sight
right here, Vic. Pack it up.

168
00:10:52,918 --> 00:10:57,490
[Vic] You can say that
one more time. No risk Wes Lee won't take.

169
00:11:01,794 --> 00:11:07,166
[Ivar] A little too close for comfort.
Get off of me!

170
00:11:08,167 --> 00:11:09,402
[Vic] And again!

171
00:11:09,468 --> 00:11:11,303
[crowd screams in surprise]

172
00:11:12,171 --> 00:11:16,842
I think we should have done what you said,
Booker, and pack up and move on.

173
00:11:17,576 --> 00:11:21,247
And I just looked up Wes Lee.
Bruises, welts all over his back.

174
00:11:21,313 --> 00:11:24,116
I look to my left,
Ivar was driven into the barricade.

175
00:11:24,183 --> 00:11:30,689
I look up in the ring and Briggs is down.
Lee is up. Lee looking to fly.

176
00:11:32,058 --> 00:11:35,561
-[Book laughing] He got all of it.
-Wes into the cover!

177
00:11:35,628 --> 00:11:37,797
-[Book] That did… Wow!
-[bell rings]

178
00:11:37,863 --> 00:11:40,633
[Vic] Lee back in a big way!

179
00:11:40,699 --> 00:11:45,337
[announcer] Here is your winner, Wes Lee!

180
00:11:51,744 --> 00:11:55,581
[Vic] How good that must feel
for Wes Lee to have his head…

181
00:11:55,648 --> 00:11:57,483
Wait, right here in front of us, Booker.

182
00:12:00,152 --> 00:12:04,990
These two, Briggs, Ivar,
beating the hell out of each other.

183
00:12:06,826 --> 00:12:09,929
Oh, you gotta be kidding me.
On your first night back.

184
00:12:10,096 --> 00:12:15,468
-[Book] Oh, my God.
-Wes Lee throwing caution out the window!

185
00:12:22,708 --> 00:12:27,246
Wes is back. But there is
the North American champion,

186
00:12:27,313 --> 00:12:33,119
who's enjoying seeing
these three just brutalize one another.

187
00:12:43,863 --> 00:12:48,134
[Vic] Earlier today Roxanne Perez,
our rebellious women's champion,

188
00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:52,738
arrived for her main event.
Championship defense against the brash,

189
00:12:52,805 --> 00:12:57,176
the flamboyant Chelsea Green of Smack Down.

190
00:12:57,243 --> 00:13:00,513
A huge main event
still to come here tonight.

191
00:13:00,579 --> 00:13:04,683
What way to kick off the night,
but what a main event we have to come.

192
00:13:04,750 --> 00:13:10,456
Oh yes, my girl Roxanne Perez's gonna
prove why she is truly the prodigy.

193
00:13:10,523 --> 00:13:13,993
A great main event, women's championship
on the line later on this evening.

194
00:13:14,059 --> 00:13:18,764
But now let's go back to last week's
main event, Spring Breakin' Night Two,

195
00:13:18,831 --> 00:13:21,433
when we went into the underground.

196
00:13:24,069 --> 00:13:31,043
[announcer] The following contest
is an NXT underground match!

197
00:13:31,110 --> 00:13:33,813
[drums bang loudly]

198
00:13:33,879 --> 00:13:36,582
-[Vic] The best.
-[Natalya] I'm gonna break her.

199
00:13:36,649 --> 00:13:37,650
[drums bang]

200
00:13:37,716 --> 00:13:42,154
-[Vic] Versus the baddest.
-[Lola Vice] You're entering my world.

201
00:13:42,321 --> 00:13:45,291
One of these women will make history.

202
00:13:45,357 --> 00:13:46,358
[drums stop]

203
00:13:46,425 --> 00:13:48,460
-[crowd cheers]
-[bell rings]

204
00:13:48,761 --> 00:13:51,764
[Book] Oh, taking it
right off. Oh, yes.

205
00:13:51,831 --> 00:13:55,000
[Vic] This is gonna be
a grounded pound, physical affair.

206
00:13:55,301 --> 00:13:58,304
[drums bang]

207
00:13:58,504 --> 00:14:01,774
These two women are willing
to destroy themselves.

208
00:14:02,074 --> 00:14:06,512
-[drums bang]
-[crowd cheers]

209
00:14:07,179 --> 00:14:10,216
And Natalya trying to fight
through the pain right now.

210
00:14:11,183 --> 00:14:14,820
-[Book] Wow.
-Putting pressure all over the knee.

211
00:14:14,887 --> 00:14:18,757
And we've seen her Uncle Bret
use this same sort of maneuver.

212
00:14:18,824 --> 00:14:21,126
[Book] That knee
gotta be in a lot of pain.

213
00:14:21,961 --> 00:14:23,696
[Vic] Sharp shooter.

214
00:14:23,762 --> 00:14:26,031
[Book] She got that, Vic.

215
00:14:26,732 --> 00:14:29,568
[Vic] Baszler
with a carafuda clutch. Petrovic…

216
00:14:31,370 --> 00:14:36,675
…going out to save her friend,
making Baszler pay. Big back fist.

217
00:14:38,510 --> 00:14:41,814
And now raining down forearms.
The official steps in.

218
00:14:41,881 --> 00:14:47,853
This is over.
Lola Vice knocks out Natalya.

219
00:14:53,626 --> 00:14:59,198
[Vic] What a main event last week,
but will Baszler pay tonight?

220
00:15:00,032 --> 00:15:00,966
[bell rings]

221
00:15:01,033 --> 00:15:04,036
[announcer] The following contest
is scheduled for one fall

222
00:15:04,103 --> 00:15:08,274
Here comes first,
accompanied by Lola Vice,

223
00:15:08,340 --> 00:15:12,111
Shayna Baszler!

224
00:15:12,578 --> 00:15:13,946
[Vic] As we just witnessed,

225
00:15:14,013 --> 00:15:18,717
it was Baszler who played a crucial role
in Vice's victory last week.

226
00:15:18,784 --> 00:15:22,421
Petrovic. Baszler. One on one. Next.

227
00:15:27,259 --> 00:15:31,864
Boys, it was a heck of a title defense
you guys had last season.

228
00:15:32,598 --> 00:15:34,500
Definitely shows why you're champions.

229
00:15:34,566 --> 00:15:37,369
We're just getting going,
but you guys are an inspiration.

230
00:15:37,569 --> 00:15:40,506
One day, we hope to call
ourselves champion.

231
00:15:40,572 --> 00:15:43,709
Champions? [laughs]
I don't know if I heard that right.

232
00:15:43,876 --> 00:15:46,645
You just got here
and already aspire of being champions?

233
00:15:46,712 --> 00:15:48,881
Charlie, how does that work out with them?

234
00:15:48,948 --> 00:15:52,584
It's actually funny, considering
you couldn't even win your debut match.

235
00:15:52,651 --> 00:15:54,119
Hold up, man.

236
00:15:54,186 --> 00:15:57,890
Ain't no shame in losing to two guys
like Gallows and Anderson.

237
00:15:57,957 --> 00:15:58,991
They're vets.

238
00:15:59,058 --> 00:16:01,293
But the scary thing for you
in this locker room

239
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:05,064
is we're only gonna get better
and more comfortable.

240
00:16:05,130 --> 00:16:07,032
Here's a bit of advice, fellas.

241
00:16:07,099 --> 00:16:10,836
When you step in the ring with the NQCC,
you're never gonna feel comfort.

242
00:16:10,903 --> 00:16:12,771
-Just pain.
-Okay?

243
00:16:12,838 --> 00:16:15,107
My boy Tyriek and I,
we ain't afraid of pain.

244
00:16:15,174 --> 00:16:17,710
We could take it and we could dish it out.

245
00:16:17,776 --> 00:16:19,211
[indistinct arguments]

246
00:16:19,445 --> 00:16:21,613
We're good.

247
00:16:22,314 --> 00:16:24,983
-Settle.
-What is that? Jeez.

248
00:16:27,820 --> 00:16:30,723
-Look at this pair of good brothers.
-Yes.

249
00:16:30,789 --> 00:16:32,992
Handling that good brother business.

250
00:16:33,058 --> 00:16:36,562
Getting rid of all these Raw
and Smack Down tag teams.

251
00:16:37,529 --> 00:16:39,365
That's not too sweet, boys.

252
00:16:40,399 --> 00:16:45,571
-I don't know what is.
-Oh, throw it up.

253
00:16:45,637 --> 00:16:47,673
-I think we're good.
-Yeah, we're good.

254
00:16:52,778 --> 00:16:57,383
That right there is exactly why
those two brothers

255
00:16:58,484 --> 00:17:00,986
are going to lose those tag team titles.

256
00:17:04,089 --> 00:17:07,092
[sword swishes and pings]

257
00:17:07,659 --> 00:17:12,064
-[upbeat music]
-[crowd cheers]

258
00:17:14,133 --> 00:17:17,503
[announcer] Accompanied to the ring
by Natalya

259
00:17:18,237 --> 00:17:21,840
Karmen Petrovic!

260
00:17:51,370 --> 00:17:53,072
[Vic] Are we ready for this?

261
00:17:53,138 --> 00:17:55,307
More importantly,
is Karmen Petrovic ready?

262
00:17:55,374 --> 00:17:58,043
Her game face is on and rightfully so.

263
00:17:58,110 --> 00:18:02,414
[Book] Yeah, Karmen, I noticed a lot
just last week. She's growing up

264
00:18:02,481 --> 00:18:08,454
right before our eyes. She just debuted
in 2023. Keep your head on a swivel!

265
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:10,889
-Oh, yes, man.
-[Vic] I'm glad you bring that up

266
00:18:10,956 --> 00:18:13,158
because it was
a massive strike from Petrovic

267
00:18:13,225 --> 00:18:15,561
which dropped Shayna Baszler two weeks ago

268
00:18:15,627 --> 00:18:18,263
ahead of last week's underground match up,

269
00:18:18,330 --> 00:18:22,101
-and we had the best seat in the house.
-[Book] What an underground match up.

270
00:18:22,367 --> 00:18:25,003
Natalya, Lola Vice… Whoa, man.

271
00:18:25,070 --> 00:18:27,806
Let me tell you,
it could've been a different outcome

272
00:18:27,873 --> 00:18:32,911
if it weren't for the compassion
of "Renaissance Woman" Nattie Neidhardt.

273
00:18:32,978 --> 00:18:36,348
[Vic] That is very true. You saw
earlier the third degree black belt

274
00:18:36,415 --> 00:18:39,151
of Petrovic, maybe looking for
the same knockout strike

275
00:18:39,184 --> 00:18:42,421
she hit Baszler with several weeks ago.
Charging right back in.

276
00:18:42,488 --> 00:18:46,425
But look, Shayna Baszler, she's been
someone who here at NXT has held

277
00:18:46,492 --> 00:18:47,960
the NXT Women's championship.

278
00:18:48,026 --> 00:18:51,063
As a matter of fact, no one has held
the NXT women's title

279
00:18:51,129 --> 00:18:56,034
more than the Queen of Spades.
A total of 549 days.

280
00:18:56,101 --> 00:18:59,304
[Book] Not just that.
I mean, she's been on Elite XC

281
00:18:59,471 --> 00:19:02,007
as well as Strike Force,
she's done it all.

282
00:19:02,074 --> 00:19:06,478
As far as the fight game though,
we're going to find out exactly what level

283
00:19:06,545 --> 00:19:09,281
is Petrovic fighting on
right here tonight.

284
00:19:10,349 --> 00:19:14,219
[Vic] Referee trying to use
his discretion. He's right looking down.

285
00:19:14,286 --> 00:19:15,287
[Book] Uh-uh!

286
00:19:15,621 --> 00:19:18,323
[Vic] The arm's not supposed to… Metal!

287
00:19:18,490 --> 00:19:19,725
[Book] God, man.

288
00:19:21,293 --> 00:19:24,263
[Vic] And Baszler, of course,
has no remorse for anyone

289
00:19:24,329 --> 00:19:26,431
as Natalya worried about her friend.

290
00:19:26,498 --> 00:19:30,369
If Natalya was worried last week,
she's certainly gonna be worried this one.

291
00:19:30,435 --> 00:19:34,039
[Book] This is called
"on-the-job training," man.

292
00:19:37,676 --> 00:19:42,514
[Vic] Well, it's a new time in NXT
as the Whoop That Era is ushering in

293
00:19:42,581 --> 00:19:44,650
its first ever set of live events

294
00:19:44,716 --> 00:19:47,085
in Lakeland on Friday,
Gainesville on Saturday.

295
00:19:47,152 --> 00:19:50,522
Don't miss a chance to be part
of the excitement in a city near you.

296
00:19:50,589 --> 00:19:52,224
The future is now.

297
00:19:52,291 --> 00:19:57,529
And right now it is Shayna Baszler
dissecting Karmen Petrovic.

298
00:19:57,596 --> 00:19:59,565
Is Shayna Baszler…
I want to take a second.

299
00:19:59,631 --> 00:20:01,800
-Is she the baddest woman in NXT?
-You know

300
00:20:01,867 --> 00:20:05,671
everybody that comes from the main roster
back to NXT think that same thing.

301
00:20:05,737 --> 00:20:11,343
But the competition is stiff.
Let's not look past Karmen Petrovic.

302
00:20:11,410 --> 00:20:15,414
-She's down right now, but she's not out.
-Comes to being the baddest.

303
00:20:15,514 --> 00:20:18,016
[Vic] The woman in front of us
is Shayna Baszler.

304
00:20:18,083 --> 00:20:21,019
A lot of us believe
she's the baddest one walking around.

305
00:20:21,086 --> 00:20:24,122
[Book] Give me some hot Cholula green
to go with that.

306
00:20:24,189 --> 00:20:27,693
Back into the match with Shayna Baszler,
to meet Zelina Vega…

307
00:20:27,759 --> 00:20:31,230
Shoulders down, nice roll up.
And almost a quick one for Petrovic,

308
00:20:31,296 --> 00:20:35,033
who gets hit and into the cover
off the lariat is Baszler.

309
00:20:35,100 --> 00:20:37,736
Petrovic able to kick out.
Baszler will meet Zelina Vega

310
00:20:37,803 --> 00:20:40,606
in the opening round
of the Queen of the Ring tournament.

311
00:20:40,672 --> 00:20:42,441
But look at Baszler.

312
00:20:42,507 --> 00:20:46,245
-Right back to the body.
-But look at the eyes of Karmen Petrovic.

313
00:20:46,311 --> 00:20:50,449
There's no quitting. She's been competing
since she was 17 years old,

314
00:20:50,515 --> 00:20:52,384
and this is just another obstacle.

315
00:20:52,451 --> 00:20:55,020
What did I say about obstacles?
Over, under, round?

316
00:20:55,087 --> 00:20:57,356
Sometimes you got to go
straight through it.

317
00:20:57,422 --> 00:21:00,692
[Vic] Petrovic now out of desperation,
able to turn things around

318
00:21:00,759 --> 00:21:04,129
as Natalya on the outside
cheering on Petrovic,

319
00:21:04,196 --> 00:21:06,231
who is looking for that spinning lariat

320
00:21:06,298 --> 00:21:08,267
and instead a belly to back suplex.

321
00:21:08,333 --> 00:21:11,003
Turning her inside out
and right back to work.

322
00:21:11,069 --> 00:21:17,809
Joint manipulation done by Shayna Baszler,
who means all business right now.

323
00:21:18,010 --> 00:21:19,911
-[Vic] Ooh!
-[crowd screams in surprise]

324
00:21:20,579 --> 00:21:22,948
[Book] Petrovic made
an amateur mistake there,

325
00:21:23,015 --> 00:21:26,718
just showing a game
a little early right there.

326
00:21:26,785 --> 00:21:28,320
[crowd chanting "Petra"]

327
00:21:30,088 --> 00:21:32,157
[Vic] A lot of worry
in the eyes of Natalya.

328
00:21:32,224 --> 00:21:35,127
Quite the Canadian connection
between Natalya and Petrovic.

329
00:21:35,193 --> 00:21:38,563
They've done a lot of training.
Look at Petrovic now fighting back.

330
00:21:38,630 --> 00:21:42,901
And that own kick hit Baszler so hard
she knocked herself off her feet.

331
00:21:42,968 --> 00:21:44,836
[indistinct crowd cheers]

332
00:21:44,903 --> 00:21:48,273
Certainly feeling the effects,
trying to drop anything she can.

333
00:21:48,340 --> 00:21:52,477
Slice in right through Baszler,
right into the back, into the cover.

334
00:21:53,178 --> 00:21:54,680
Able to get that right shoulder.

335
00:21:54,746 --> 00:21:58,550
But Karmen Petrovic right now, certainly,
as we like to say, in the deep waters.

336
00:21:58,784 --> 00:22:02,654
She has taken a physical pounding
in this match up because Shayna Baszler

337
00:22:02,721 --> 00:22:05,357
has focused on a body part
and has dissected her.

338
00:22:05,424 --> 00:22:09,361
And she's focused on that left arm
and, oh, that was a unique kick.

339
00:22:09,428 --> 00:22:13,532
[Book] Yes, it was.
She gotta be thinking of that spin kick.

340
00:22:13,732 --> 00:22:17,536
It has delivered many, many times,
but not tonight.

341
00:22:17,602 --> 00:22:21,073
[Vic] These two women battling it out.
Of course, all the women in NXT

342
00:22:21,139 --> 00:22:24,009
took part in a combine and… Wait a minute!

343
00:22:24,109 --> 00:22:26,645
Forget the combine for now.
Into the submission.

344
00:22:26,712 --> 00:22:29,314
Carrafuda clutch,
center of the ring, Petrovic.

345
00:22:29,581 --> 00:22:31,383
-[bell rings]
-[Vic] Pass to town.

346
00:22:33,819 --> 00:22:36,955
[announcer] Here is your winner
by submission,

347
00:22:37,823 --> 00:22:39,358
Shayna

348
00:22:39,424 --> 00:22:40,592
Baszler!

349
00:22:40,926 --> 00:22:45,030
[Vic] Out of nowhere,
Baszler putting asleep Petrovic

350
00:22:45,097 --> 00:22:48,967
as Baszler and Vice are victorious
just like last week.

351
00:22:49,034 --> 00:22:52,738
And speaking of which, let's go back
to last Tuesday right here on NXT.

352
00:22:52,904 --> 00:22:56,708
Fallon Henley showed
a new side of herself.

353
00:23:00,145 --> 00:23:02,881
[Vic] This one, I mean,
it was last Tuesday in a match up.

354
00:23:02,948 --> 00:23:06,518
Fallon Henley saved Thea Hail.
Thea Hail was taking on Jacy Jayne.

355
00:23:06,585 --> 00:23:09,988
Locking into submission,
this Kimura forcing the tap.

356
00:23:10,055 --> 00:23:12,824
The biggest win for Thea Hail.

357
00:23:12,891 --> 00:23:17,729
But Fallon Henley had enough… and bam!

358
00:23:17,796 --> 00:23:21,399
Dropped Thea Hail last week

359
00:23:22,434 --> 00:23:25,837
to the shock and awe
of everyone, including Chase U.

360
00:23:25,904 --> 00:23:26,905
[crowd booing]

361
00:23:28,640 --> 00:23:31,910
Even now, watching that back,
I still don't see why she did that.

362
00:23:31,977 --> 00:23:34,246
If she had a problem
or felt some type of way,

363
00:23:34,312 --> 00:23:37,783
She could've talked to me, or Thea.
She could have talked to anyone.

364
00:23:37,849 --> 00:23:42,988
-Seriously, what kind of friend does that?
-Not a real one. Facts.

365
00:23:43,054 --> 00:23:46,391
It took everything in me not to smack her
in that combine yesterday.

366
00:23:46,458 --> 00:23:51,196
Well, Kelani, if you wanted
to smack me so bad, why didn't you?

367
00:23:51,263 --> 00:23:55,967
-Because I thought we were friends.
-Ah, friends. You see, that's my problem.

368
00:23:56,034 --> 00:24:00,105
I have spent my entire career
helping all of my friends.

369
00:24:00,272 --> 00:24:06,011
But from here on out, Fallon comes first
because I don't need friends to become

370
00:24:06,077 --> 00:24:09,080
the first ever
Women's North American champion.

371
00:24:09,281 --> 00:24:11,683
All I need is for Ava
to tell me that I qualify.

372
00:24:11,750 --> 00:24:13,852
Girls, what happened to you?

373
00:24:14,019 --> 00:24:17,088
-You have got to be kidding me.
-No, no.

374
00:24:17,155 --> 00:24:20,158
[indistinct arguments]

375
00:24:20,492 --> 00:24:22,427
She doesn't act like this.

376
00:24:23,128 --> 00:24:25,530
[Vic] I was trying to talk about this
moments ago,

377
00:24:25,597 --> 00:24:29,868
but the entire locker room wants
the opportunity to make history.

378
00:24:29,935 --> 00:24:33,972
Who will qualify for the Women's
North American Championship match

379
00:24:34,039 --> 00:24:37,108
taking place at Battleground?
We find out tonight.

380
00:24:37,175 --> 00:24:39,611
Up next, the women's combine.

381
00:24:43,548 --> 00:24:44,649
[rousing music begins]

382
00:24:44,716 --> 00:24:49,421
[narrator] Twenty of the best superstars
competed in the NXT Women's Combine.

383
00:24:49,487 --> 00:24:54,459
One goal in mind, finish in the top 12,
advance to the qualifying match stage.

384
00:24:54,626 --> 00:24:57,195
All for the opportunity at Battleground

385
00:24:57,262 --> 00:25:01,633
to become the first
Women's North American champion.

386
00:25:01,800 --> 00:25:07,205
The combine consisted of nine
grueling events testing four sections.

387
00:25:07,372 --> 00:25:11,142
Speed, power, strength and conditioning.

388
00:25:14,145 --> 00:25:17,816
It started with speed
and the 10-yard sled push,

389
00:25:17,883 --> 00:25:21,419
measuring increasing speed
and accelerating power.

390
00:25:22,320 --> 00:25:27,659
Women driving as fast and hard
as they could 'cause every second matters.

391
00:25:30,428 --> 00:25:34,733
Then it was the 10-yard sprint
measuring controlled acceleration.

392
00:25:36,668 --> 00:25:39,371
Getting out of the blocks
was paramount for each woman.

393
00:25:44,242 --> 00:25:47,746
Wrapping up the speed portion
was the in-ring shuttle drill,

394
00:25:47,812 --> 00:25:49,447
testing change of direction.

395
00:25:50,515 --> 00:25:53,251
Hitting the ropes takes
precision and technique.

396
00:25:53,418 --> 00:25:58,123
After the speed drills, two women
became early leads on the leaderboard

397
00:25:58,189 --> 00:26:03,862
Chase U's Thea Hail and Kelani Jordan.
Thea and Kelani put themselves

398
00:26:03,929 --> 00:26:08,867
in a great position to advance
as the combine moved on to power.

399
00:26:09,100 --> 00:26:12,137
-[rousing music continues]
-[contestants cheer]

400
00:26:14,506 --> 00:26:17,509
-[upbeat music]
-[crowd cheers]

401
00:26:18,276 --> 00:26:19,277
[bell rings]

402
00:26:19,444 --> 00:26:23,248
[announcer] The following contest is
a tag team match scheduled for one fall.

403
00:26:23,315 --> 00:26:30,155
Introducing the NXT Heritage Cup
champions, No Quarter Catch Crew.

404
00:26:31,189 --> 00:26:35,160
[Vic] We know the Catch clause is
in effect. So which two members

405
00:26:36,628 --> 00:26:40,031
will compete against Tyson and Tyriek?

406
00:26:41,032 --> 00:26:44,035
It appears to be Dempsey and Bourne.
And as I look around.

407
00:26:44,102 --> 00:26:47,572
Booker, where's our official?
Where's the referee?

408
00:26:47,639 --> 00:26:49,674
[Book] Let's get somebody out here quick.

409
00:26:49,741 --> 00:26:52,544
[announcer] Ladies and gentlemen,
I've just been informed

410
00:26:52,610 --> 00:26:55,780
that the referee for this match is…

411
00:26:57,882 --> 00:26:59,150
…unavailable.

412
00:26:59,351 --> 00:27:00,785
[crowd yells in indignation]

413
00:27:01,052 --> 00:27:05,390
Therefore, the special guest referee is…

414
00:27:07,659 --> 00:27:11,196
…Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo!

415
00:27:11,463 --> 00:27:14,466
-[crowd cheers and applauds]
-[rousing music]

416
00:27:15,066 --> 00:27:17,869
-[Vic] You look befuddled.
-[Book] What does this be?

417
00:27:20,572 --> 00:27:23,274
-[Vic] I think it means…
-[Book] The question.

418
00:27:25,210 --> 00:27:26,911
[Vic] Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo's…

419
00:27:26,978 --> 00:27:30,348
Who am I to question the dime?
Look, he's got a referee.

420
00:27:31,916 --> 00:27:35,186
Look at that slide.
Did you see that referee slide?

421
00:27:35,253 --> 00:27:39,557
That was smooth as silk. Even ring
for the bell. Nice and smooth, too.

422
00:27:40,592 --> 00:27:45,530
I mean, isn't it nice that The Don
and the family are able to get…?

423
00:27:45,597 --> 00:27:48,233
[Book] What's nice about it, Vic?

424
00:27:49,300 --> 00:27:52,937
[Vic] Means we can have this match up,
Booker, we got an official referee.

425
00:27:53,004 --> 00:27:54,673
[Book] We only have one official.

426
00:27:55,273 --> 00:28:00,178
[Vic] Luca Crucifino just handed me a note
that Channing "Stacks" Lorenzo

427
00:28:00,245 --> 00:28:05,083
did in fact get his officiating license.
Into the cover. That was a two count.

428
00:28:05,150 --> 00:28:06,551
That was a near fall.

429
00:28:07,185 --> 00:28:10,088
What are you…? Stack stepped up.
What's wrong with that?

430
00:28:10,155 --> 00:28:12,757
[Book] I'm just wondering.
I'm all about being legal.

431
00:28:12,824 --> 00:28:17,028
I'm all about, you know, the rules, Vic.
Doing things the proper way.

432
00:28:17,095 --> 00:28:19,364
[Vic] Let's focus on this match up then.

433
00:28:19,431 --> 00:28:21,933
Tyson and Tyriek
had a rough going last week.

434
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:24,469
Earlier today, these two teams
ran into each other.

435
00:28:24,536 --> 00:28:27,238
It was not necessarily
a friendly conversation.

436
00:28:27,305 --> 00:28:30,909
And, oh, there was
nothing friendly about that. Tag.

437
00:28:31,076 --> 00:28:34,212
This kid Tyson, he's very confrontational.

438
00:28:34,279 --> 00:28:37,916
-[Book] And I like that in the big guy.
-[Vic] Let me ask you about this.

439
00:28:37,982 --> 00:28:41,886
Do you agree that Tyson and Tyriek
are only going to get better

440
00:28:41,953 --> 00:28:44,622
with each match up?
Into the cover, hook to the leg.

441
00:28:44,689 --> 00:28:45,690
Dempsey kicks out.

442
00:28:45,757 --> 00:28:49,327
[Book] Going out on a weekly basis,
calling out, you know, the opponent,

443
00:28:49,394 --> 00:28:52,263
stepping up to the occasion,
you're only gonna get better.

444
00:28:52,330 --> 00:28:54,766
The thing is,
it's not gonna happen overnight.

445
00:28:54,833 --> 00:29:00,705
[Vic] Dempsey not necessarily
trying to get the official's attention.

446
00:29:01,106 --> 00:29:03,174
Tag was made. This is Stacks' first match.

447
00:29:03,241 --> 00:29:06,511
as a referee, got to give him some credit.
A little leeway, right?

448
00:29:06,578 --> 00:29:10,181
[Book] Look at the tag team continuity.
Tyriek and big Tyson

449
00:29:10,248 --> 00:29:12,383
just coming off
with a big double accent.

450
00:29:12,450 --> 00:29:16,287
I like these guys.
A lot of motivation here, Vic.

451
00:29:16,354 --> 00:29:20,692
[Vic] A lot of motivation also for The Don
and the Family as they look on.

452
00:29:20,759 --> 00:29:22,460
Oh, nobody home.

453
00:29:22,527 --> 00:29:26,131
Nice job by Miles Ford,
who follows up with that pick.

454
00:29:26,197 --> 00:29:29,968
[Book] Perfect drop kick
right on the snout. You feel me?

455
00:29:30,034 --> 00:29:32,303
[Vic] I feel you.
They just felt the drop kick

456
00:29:32,370 --> 00:29:36,674
as well as the NXT universe looking around
at the No Quarter Catch Crew.

457
00:29:36,741 --> 00:29:38,009
[Book] I call that mean.

458
00:29:38,076 --> 00:29:41,746
[Vic] It was Dempsey who called out
Tyson and Tyriek for losing last week.

459
00:29:41,813 --> 00:29:46,184
You're only as good as your last match,
right? And the referee, taking this job.

460
00:29:46,251 --> 00:29:48,486
[Book] What the hell?

461
00:29:48,553 --> 00:29:52,123
[Vic] The referee had the presence of mind
to turn around for the count.

462
00:29:52,190 --> 00:29:55,193
[Book] Become on here, Stacks.
Do your job.

463
00:29:55,260 --> 00:29:56,261
[crowd yells]

464
00:29:56,628 --> 00:29:59,898
[Vic] Big uppercut
and Dempsey right into the midsection.

465
00:29:59,964 --> 00:30:04,102
[Book] This man right here will tie you up
like a pretzel. That's stiff.

466
00:30:04,169 --> 00:30:05,803
Look at him. Oh, my God.

467
00:30:05,870 --> 00:30:08,439
[Vic] Looking for the submission.
Center of the ring.

468
00:30:08,873 --> 00:30:11,476
Stacks is in there looking
at the submission as well.

469
00:30:11,543 --> 00:30:14,646
A bit of a game is being played
though, by The Don.

470
00:30:14,712 --> 00:30:18,516
-[Book] Big man Tyson.
-[Vic] Dempsey trying to go up, go over.

471
00:30:21,052 --> 00:30:23,855
We gotta wonder too, Book,
as we see another tag be made.

472
00:30:23,922 --> 00:30:25,723
-I'm just throwing this.
-What is it?

473
00:30:25,790 --> 00:30:29,260
Wouldn't it have been easier just
for No Quarter Catch Crew to pay up?

474
00:30:29,327 --> 00:30:33,031
Just to pay their bill, pay The Don,
give them the green, the cash?

475
00:30:33,097 --> 00:30:35,867
[Book] What are you talking about?
Paying somebody else?

476
00:30:36,034 --> 00:30:38,703
[Vic] They needed to pay a bill.
They had a job done.

477
00:30:38,770 --> 00:30:41,840
They didn't pay,
and now they are paying for it.

478
00:30:42,941 --> 00:30:44,409
-[Vic] Nothing?
-[Book] No.

479
00:30:44,475 --> 00:30:45,743
Would you not pay a bill?

480
00:30:45,810 --> 00:30:47,579
Do you go to the store and not pay?

481
00:30:47,645 --> 00:30:50,048
You know what happens?
Steve Austin beats you up.

482
00:30:50,114 --> 00:30:52,116
[Book] The store… Don't bring that up.

483
00:30:52,183 --> 00:30:54,252
[Vic] Into another cover,
hook of the leg.

484
00:30:54,319 --> 00:30:55,320
[Book] No!

485
00:30:55,486 --> 00:30:59,390
Rookies almost got a big win,
the biggest win of their young careers.

486
00:30:59,791 --> 00:31:02,727
[Vic] But again, aren't you
only as good as your last match?

487
00:31:02,794 --> 00:31:03,962
That brought us here.

488
00:31:04,028 --> 00:31:07,765
[Book] It is what have you done lately,
especially in this business.

489
00:31:07,832 --> 00:31:11,603
-[Book] Catch Crew. Oh, by God!
-[Vic] Nice German suplex.

490
00:31:11,669 --> 00:31:14,839
[Vic] Referee doing a great job
of checking the shoulders,

491
00:31:14,906 --> 00:31:16,608
making sure they're both down.

492
00:31:16,674 --> 00:31:19,210
And a kick out just in the nick of time.

493
00:31:19,277 --> 00:31:22,113
-That was close, Brook.
-That was slow.

494
00:31:23,681 --> 00:31:27,252
What do you mean slow?
He made sure the shoulders weren't out.

495
00:31:28,052 --> 00:31:32,223
[Vic] Oh, big right hand from behind.
Cover. Who got him?

496
00:31:32,290 --> 00:31:36,928
-Tyson and Tyriek got him. Oh wow!
-[Book] You got to be kidding me.

497
00:31:38,496 --> 00:31:39,898
[announcer] It's Tyriek.

498
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:43,201
[Vic] Massive upset.

499
00:31:43,268 --> 00:31:46,838
And it's like you said, Book,
you're only as good as your last match

500
00:31:46,905 --> 00:31:51,309
if you're the No Quarter Catch Crew.
Congrats to Tyson and Tyriek.

501
00:31:51,376 --> 00:31:53,945
Oh, my goodness, Chelsea,

502
00:31:54,012 --> 00:31:57,649
words cannot describe how fabulous
it is to have you here at NXT.

503
00:31:57,715 --> 00:32:00,752
Ariana, this is a dream come true.

504
00:32:01,319 --> 00:32:05,590
The thought, the mere possibility of you
becoming our NXT Women's Champion.

505
00:32:05,990 --> 00:32:08,593
-It warms my heart.
-Exactly.

506
00:32:08,927 --> 00:32:13,131
I have been through so many
nasty locker rooms and trashy cities.

507
00:32:13,197 --> 00:32:16,701
I've dealt with awful Adam
and Sir Nicholas, the prickles.

508
00:32:16,868 --> 00:32:20,271
And finally, I have found someone
who is almost as perfect as me.

509
00:32:20,772 --> 00:32:24,208
-And she's a beauty queen.
-Do go on. I won't stop you.

510
00:32:27,445 --> 00:32:30,281
Seriously, you must win
the women's championship tonight.

511
00:32:30,348 --> 00:32:31,949
Oh, I will.

512
00:32:32,116 --> 00:32:35,353
For every little girl,
every little beauty pageant princess.

513
00:32:35,420 --> 00:32:38,289
-For the locker room.
-For the locker room and myself.

514
00:32:38,489 --> 00:32:41,893
And for Georgina
as we guide her along her journey.

515
00:32:42,060 --> 00:32:43,094
-We?
-Amen.

516
00:32:43,161 --> 00:32:45,330
I must go deal with
my Michin problem now.

517
00:32:45,396 --> 00:32:48,099
But I'll be back victorious.

518
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:50,201
Bye.

519
00:32:52,737 --> 00:32:57,842
I can't take this anymore.
That's it. I'm done.

520
00:32:59,977 --> 00:33:01,846
[Vic] I can't really blame Gigi Noah.

521
00:33:01,913 --> 00:33:05,049
[Book] She got a contract
she can't get out of.

522
00:33:06,384 --> 00:33:07,385
[bell rings]

523
00:33:07,752 --> 00:33:10,988
[announcer] The following contest
is scheduled for one fall.

524
00:33:11,055 --> 00:33:15,293
Introducing first Michin.

525
00:33:16,494 --> 00:33:20,631
[Vic] Well, here's a superstar
who returned to NXT last week.

526
00:33:20,698 --> 00:33:25,636
Michin is back in the ring
one on one with Ariana Grace.

527
00:33:25,803 --> 00:33:28,039
This match up is next.

528
00:33:31,175 --> 00:33:34,045
Roxanne, tonight you defend
your NXT Women's Championship

529
00:33:34,112 --> 00:33:35,179
against Chelsea Green

530
00:33:35,246 --> 00:33:37,348
-in a match that Ava…
-Just threw together.

531
00:33:37,749 --> 00:33:42,053
Yeah, I'll say it for you,
but this isn't about Ava.

532
00:33:42,220 --> 00:33:47,658
And honestly, this isn't even
about Chelsea. Tonight is about me.

533
00:33:48,393 --> 00:33:54,032
When you're the face of this brand,
the two-time NXT Women's Champion,

534
00:33:54,098 --> 00:33:59,837
when you're the main event,
they have a name for you, the Prodigy.

535
00:34:00,505 --> 00:34:05,209
And clearly no one likes Chelsea on Raw.
They don't like her on Smack Down.

536
00:34:05,276 --> 00:34:07,945
And I for damn sure don't like her here.

537
00:34:08,846 --> 00:34:10,581
This is NXT.

538
00:34:11,349 --> 00:34:14,452
A few weeks ago,
I sent Tatum and Lyra packing.

539
00:34:14,619 --> 00:34:18,423
Tonight, I'll defeat Chelsea
and send her packing too.

540
00:34:18,823 --> 00:34:24,062
And whoever comes after that,
you'll hear the same thing.

541
00:34:24,662 --> 00:34:25,730
And still…

542
00:34:31,002 --> 00:34:35,106
-[Vic] Massive main event still to come
-[announcer] Making her way to the ring

543
00:34:35,173 --> 00:34:38,543
Ariana Grace!

544
00:34:39,010 --> 00:34:40,378
Thank you so much.

545
00:34:41,245 --> 00:34:42,680
I love you all.

546
00:34:42,847 --> 00:34:45,850
[sweet string music]

547
00:34:50,688 --> 00:34:51,689
Thank you.

548
00:34:55,493 --> 00:34:58,496
[music continues]

549
00:35:05,336 --> 00:35:10,308
[Vic] Can't believe I'm about to say this,
but Ariana Grace believes she should get

550
00:35:10,374 --> 00:35:13,478
an automatic bid into Battleground

551
00:35:13,544 --> 00:35:17,048
for that Women's North American
Championship match.

552
00:35:17,115 --> 00:35:19,884
Automatic bid? An automatic bid?

553
00:35:20,751 --> 00:35:23,988
-[Book] What's wrong with just thinking?
-[Vic] You can think.

554
00:35:24,055 --> 00:35:26,524
No need to say
everything that comes to your mind.

555
00:35:26,591 --> 00:35:29,560
[Book] I'm just saying.
What's wrong with just thinking?

556
00:35:31,362 --> 00:35:35,600
Michin wants to remind Grace that NXT
isn't a dollhouse. This isn't a pageant.

557
00:35:35,666 --> 00:35:38,035
You're not supposed to wave.
It's a competition.

558
00:35:38,102 --> 00:35:42,340
It's about fighting, it's about proving
yourself. It's about battling.

559
00:35:42,406 --> 00:35:43,774
That's why all the women,

560
00:35:43,841 --> 00:35:46,043
both these women,
want to be in consideration

561
00:35:46,110 --> 00:35:48,913
for that women's championship,
the whole locker room.

562
00:35:48,980 --> 00:35:50,715
The combine results still to come.

563
00:35:50,781 --> 00:35:55,820
Six women will compete in Las Vegas
inside the UFC Apex in a ladder match.

564
00:35:55,887 --> 00:35:59,790
Sunday, June 9th. NXT Battleground.
Why do I have a problem?

565
00:35:59,857 --> 00:36:03,661
Because if everyone needs to compete
in the combine to prove themselves… ooh!

566
00:36:03,728 --> 00:36:05,796
-so does Ariana Grace.
-You talk too much.

567
00:36:05,863 --> 00:36:09,200
I'm gonna tell you right now,
do not sleep on Ariana Grace.

568
00:36:09,267 --> 00:36:13,538
Because she wants to be the first.
To be the first.

569
00:36:13,604 --> 00:36:18,242
That's something that nobody
can ever take away from you.

570
00:36:18,309 --> 00:36:22,246
And trust me, Ariana Grace, she talks,
but the thing is you just not listen.

571
00:36:22,313 --> 00:36:25,149
You just don't hear the message.
There's a message.

572
00:36:25,216 --> 00:36:27,818
[Vic] I think Grace just talks
to hear her own voice

573
00:36:27,885 --> 00:36:30,421
as she comes into the cover
in a kick out by Michin.

574
00:36:30,488 --> 00:36:34,192
I'm not taking anything from Ariana Grace.
I don't think you're hearing me.

575
00:36:34,258 --> 00:36:38,229
She wants to automatically get put in
to that championship match up.

576
00:36:38,296 --> 00:36:41,999
She doesn't want to earn it
like all the other women here at NXT.

577
00:36:42,066 --> 00:36:43,234
What makes her special?

578
00:36:44,402 --> 00:36:46,203
[Book] What's wrong with asking?

579
00:36:46,837 --> 00:36:50,575
I mean, you may not get it, but what's
wrong with asking? You can do that.

580
00:36:51,542 --> 00:36:52,944
[Vic] I'm going to move on.

581
00:36:53,611 --> 00:36:57,548
Because someone who earned
their championship was Trick Williams.

582
00:36:57,648 --> 00:37:01,352
He's going to find out what's exactly
in the envelope being carried

583
00:37:01,419 --> 00:37:05,423
by Lash Legend, that coming up next.
But it's Grace looking for a submission.

584
00:37:05,489 --> 00:37:07,458
Michin right now holding her hands,

585
00:37:07,525 --> 00:37:11,662
not allowing Grace to break the grip
to try to hyperextend that left elbow.

586
00:37:11,729 --> 00:37:15,299
And now Michin's doing a nice job
of shifting the momentum into a cover.

587
00:37:15,366 --> 00:37:19,036
But Grace doing a nice job of holding on,
didn't relinquish the whole…

588
00:37:19,103 --> 00:37:24,275
Shoulders down one more time.
And look at the strike.

589
00:37:26,110 --> 00:37:30,548
These two, of course, had to be separated
after last week's locker room brawl.

590
00:37:30,615 --> 00:37:34,719
And for Michin, she wants her first match
back here in NXT to be impactful.

591
00:37:34,785 --> 00:37:37,421
Of course, all eyes
on the women's division.

592
00:37:37,488 --> 00:37:41,926
And when you're Michin, you're out here
to also prove you're as bad as they pump.

593
00:37:41,993 --> 00:37:46,163
[Book] Yeah, she's bad, but like I say,
Ariana Grace, she's a sleeper.

594
00:37:46,364 --> 00:37:51,035
She's trying to lure you in.
Looking for that one counter. Oh, whoa.

595
00:37:52,103 --> 00:37:56,641
[Vic] A big boot right across the…
What you said earlier? The snout?

596
00:37:56,707 --> 00:37:58,976
-[Book] Yeah, the snout.
-[Vic] That's Michin.

597
00:37:59,043 --> 00:38:04,215
Target acquired. Right inside, and Grace.
That was very graceful of Ariana.

598
00:38:04,281 --> 00:38:07,118
But look at Michin answering.
Going to the midsection.

599
00:38:07,184 --> 00:38:09,487
Michin up, going over.

600
00:38:09,553 --> 00:38:13,124
Grace countering. Shoulders down and….

601
00:38:14,725 --> 00:38:17,828
Nice shot by our official.
Into another cover. Off the counter.

602
00:38:17,895 --> 00:38:20,931
A near fall. Stacks did a hell
of a job earlier, by the way.

603
00:38:20,998 --> 00:38:22,633
I just want to throw that.

604
00:38:24,135 --> 00:38:28,939
The referee was just doing his job.
Taking her out off the ball was Grace,

605
00:38:29,006 --> 00:38:35,279
who just gets dropped by a German suplex.
And Michin right now, bam!

606
00:38:35,579 --> 00:38:40,418
Sending a message to Grace
and the rest of women's locker room.

607
00:38:43,254 --> 00:38:46,557
[announcer] Here is your winner. Michin!

608
00:38:47,725 --> 00:38:54,231
[Vic] And Michin showing everyone
there could be a day of reckoning

609
00:38:54,298 --> 00:38:56,634
coming to the women's division
here in NXT.

610
00:38:59,937 --> 00:39:01,906
We've been talking about championships.

611
00:39:01,972 --> 00:39:04,542
There's the NXT champion.

612
00:39:04,608 --> 00:39:06,911
He is here. Trick Williams will be live.

613
00:39:06,977 --> 00:39:10,147
And look, there's a lot
on Trick Williams mind.

614
00:39:10,314 --> 00:39:15,353
Specifically, what is in the envelope.
There is Lash Legend,

615
00:39:15,419 --> 00:39:18,189
who's been carrying
this envelope along with a metaphor.

616
00:39:18,255 --> 00:39:22,393
She will reveal what's inside
on a special Supernova Sessions.

617
00:39:25,629 --> 00:39:27,998
Thanks for checking in on me.
I appreciate it.

618
00:39:28,065 --> 00:39:30,401
Don't worry about it.
You had some rough weeks.

619
00:39:30,468 --> 00:39:32,236
Trust me. And how are you feeling?

620
00:39:32,303 --> 00:39:35,673
All the anger and all that frustration
building up, especially when…

621
00:39:35,740 --> 00:39:38,109
It's so nice to talk
to someone who understands.

622
00:39:38,175 --> 00:39:39,510
Mr. Chase has really been

623
00:39:39,543 --> 00:39:42,246
helping calm me down
the past couple of days,

624
00:39:42,313 --> 00:39:45,583
but I feel nobody thinks
I make sense because of how young I am.

625
00:39:45,649 --> 00:39:48,285
-Thea, you make a lot of sense.
-That's good.

626
00:39:48,452 --> 00:39:50,855
-You know I've got a young daughter?
-You do?

627
00:39:50,921 --> 00:39:52,490
She reminds me a lot of you.

628
00:39:52,556 --> 00:39:56,427
And I hope that when she grows up,
she has half the passion that you have.

629
00:39:56,494 --> 00:39:57,561
-Thank you.
-Oh, yeah!

630
00:39:57,628 --> 00:40:01,932
Thea, congratulations again on the big win
last week over Jacy James.

631
00:40:01,999 --> 00:40:04,769
Thanks. I was talking to Ridge.
He's so easy to talk to.

632
00:40:04,835 --> 00:40:07,004
Blah, blah, blah, blah!

633
00:40:07,071 --> 00:40:09,874
What is this,
some sort of terrible Lifetime movie?

634
00:40:09,940 --> 00:40:12,042
Ridge, man, I've been trying to tell you.

635
00:40:12,109 --> 00:40:16,013
This business isn't for everybody, man.
And if you're trying to scrape together

636
00:40:16,080 --> 00:40:18,149
a few wins,
why do you talk to this loser?

637
00:40:18,215 --> 00:40:19,917
Lexis, stop.

638
00:40:20,084 --> 00:40:24,021
-And your daughter…
-Lexis, you look like you need your face

639
00:40:24,088 --> 00:40:27,391
-kicked in.
-All right, Ridge, I got this one.

640
00:40:28,125 --> 00:40:29,760
Listen, Lexis King,

641
00:40:29,960 --> 00:40:34,799
you are nothing more than a pompous,
narcissistic, egotistical airhead.

642
00:40:34,865 --> 00:40:37,868
And you have no right talking
to Thea Hail that way.

643
00:40:38,035 --> 00:40:41,605
Oh, big dookie, dookie, dookie.
Coming in to save the day.

644
00:40:41,672 --> 00:40:43,707
Typical Chase U white knights.

645
00:40:43,741 --> 00:40:47,678
I'll tell you what you did wrong.
You just pissed off the king.

646
00:40:48,746 --> 00:40:51,048
Wow, that's terrifying.

647
00:40:52,349 --> 00:40:55,586
See, Ridge, in Chase U
we've always got each other's backs.

648
00:41:10,568 --> 00:41:13,771
Hello, hello, hello. Hear me now.

649
00:41:13,938 --> 00:41:18,442
Welcome to another edition
of Supernova Sessions live in the US Hall.

650
00:41:20,744 --> 00:41:23,280
The Oxford Dictionary defines

651
00:41:23,347 --> 00:41:30,354
"trick" as "a skillful act or a scheme
intended to deceive or outwit someone."

652
00:41:31,288 --> 00:41:36,327
With that said, ladies and gentlemen,
please welcome tonight's guest…

653
00:41:36,393 --> 00:41:42,333
Skirt, skirt, skirt, skirt.
A very, very special guest. So you know.

654
00:41:42,399 --> 00:41:45,769
-[crowd cheers in approval]
-A special guest. He's a special guest.

655
00:41:45,970 --> 00:41:50,774
-Please welcome our very special guest.
-Thank you.

656
00:41:50,841 --> 00:41:53,477
Your NXT champion, Trent Williams.

657
00:41:53,544 --> 00:41:55,946
-Why you say it?
-He's a champ.

658
00:41:57,515 --> 00:42:03,320
-[rousing music]
-[crowd cheers and applauds]

659
00:42:03,387 --> 00:42:10,394
[crowd chants "Whoop that Trick"]

660
00:42:12,630 --> 00:42:15,633
[Book] Uh-huh, uh-huh.

661
00:42:18,903 --> 00:42:21,939
[Book] Yeah! Uh-huh.

662
00:42:22,706 --> 00:42:24,942
I like it. Oh, yeah, baby.

663
00:42:25,009 --> 00:42:29,947
[Vic] You can feel the energy.
We are definitely in the Whoop that era.

664
00:42:40,057 --> 00:42:43,060
Ooh!

665
00:42:43,928 --> 00:42:46,931
[Booker T laughs]

666
00:42:47,531 --> 00:42:48,532
[Book] What?

667
00:42:49,333 --> 00:42:52,269
I like it. Oh, yeah, man.

668
00:42:53,871 --> 00:42:55,573
[Noam] Welcome, take a seat.

669
00:42:56,407 --> 00:42:58,876
-[Noam] Ah, seat.
-[Oro] Oh, my God.

670
00:42:59,910 --> 00:43:00,911
Trick,

671
00:43:01,679 --> 00:43:04,582
things are going pretty wonderful for you.

672
00:43:04,949 --> 00:43:08,953
-It must be nice to be Trick Williams.
-Very, very nice.

673
00:43:10,387 --> 00:43:11,655
Talk your talk, dawg.

674
00:43:12,122 --> 00:43:15,926
But on that point, they've even made you
a special video tonight

675
00:43:15,993 --> 00:43:21,231
to show your historic rise.
Roll the footage!

676
00:43:21,298 --> 00:43:23,100
Let's see it!

677
00:43:27,905 --> 00:43:29,707
Woo.

678
00:43:32,343 --> 00:43:34,745
Trick Willie has finally arrived.

679
00:43:36,547 --> 00:43:38,582
[interviewer] Just hours after ending

680
00:43:38,649 --> 00:43:41,719
the over 200-day reign of Ilja Dragunov,
Trick Williams.

681
00:43:41,785 --> 00:43:44,555
[Trick] Less than a year ago,
I met with Shawn Michaels.

682
00:43:44,622 --> 00:43:47,458
Looking in my eye, he said,
"Many ask for the ball,

683
00:43:47,524 --> 00:43:50,728
but if you're not ready,
we'll put you on the bench for a while."

684
00:43:50,794 --> 00:43:53,564
It's good to have people
like Shawn in your corner.

685
00:43:53,631 --> 00:43:56,500
People want to see you succeed,
and see you do your thing.

686
00:43:56,667 --> 00:44:00,938
And it's crazy going into this new era,
and I got to put the brand on my back.

687
00:44:01,005 --> 00:44:04,742
Trick Willie is here.
NXT is in good hands. That's all it is.

688
00:44:04,808 --> 00:44:07,945
That's all it's going to be.
Tell your friends about me.

689
00:44:11,015 --> 00:44:12,650
[crowd cheers]

690
00:44:12,716 --> 00:44:15,386
-[Lash] That was nice.
-Let's talk about it.

691
00:44:16,820 --> 00:44:20,524
"Let's talk about it"?
Of course we're going to talk about it.

692
00:44:20,591 --> 00:44:24,194
That's the whole point.
We're literally on our talk show.

693
00:44:24,261 --> 00:44:27,564
-It's our talk show.
-Oh, my God. You know, let's do this.

694
00:44:27,631 --> 00:44:30,334
-Let's do this. Okay.
-No.

695
00:44:30,968 --> 00:44:32,970
[Oro] You like it? You love it?

696
00:44:33,437 --> 00:44:35,839
Oro, you laughing
a little too hard, ain't you?

697
00:44:36,006 --> 00:44:37,408
I ain't here for the games.

698
00:44:37,474 --> 00:44:40,377
I'm out here for one reason,
and one reason only.

699
00:44:41,078 --> 00:44:44,548
I want to see
what's in that envelope. Ta-ta, let's go.

700
00:44:44,615 --> 00:44:49,820
No tata. This is my show.
I decide when it happens.

701
00:44:49,887 --> 00:44:53,691
[crowd chants "Who's your daddy?"]

702
00:44:54,024 --> 00:44:55,826
-This is my show.
-His show.

703
00:44:56,827 --> 00:45:02,232
Lash, please, Exhibit A.
Reveal the envelope.

704
00:45:02,299 --> 00:45:06,503
All right. Okay, Tricky. It's finally…

705
00:45:06,570 --> 00:45:08,572
-[crowd cheers with anticipation]
-…time…

706
00:45:09,373 --> 00:45:12,076
…to reveal the truth, okay?

707
00:45:13,644 --> 00:45:20,651
-Lash, snap out of it. Stand up.
-Okay, okay. I'm about to reveal it.

708
00:45:23,187 --> 00:45:26,356
-The truth. This is the truth.
-Show them the tron.

709
00:45:31,862 --> 00:45:33,864
-[Jakara] There it is.
-[Lash] The truth.

710
00:45:33,931 --> 00:45:37,034
Look and see, Trick.

711
00:45:37,201 --> 00:45:42,272
This victory is what gave you
the momentum to slay

712
00:45:42,339 --> 00:45:45,409
the Mad Dragon and become NXT champion.

713
00:45:46,677 --> 00:45:53,684
But this evidence proves that everything
that you have has been built on a lie.

714
00:45:54,985 --> 00:46:00,324
Trick, you are nothing but a no good

715
00:46:01,458 --> 00:46:02,459
trick.

716
00:46:03,227 --> 00:46:06,797
And I am going to expose you.

717
00:46:06,864 --> 00:46:12,970
-[Lash] What is he doing?
-You're a con, you're a… scheme.

718
00:46:13,971 --> 00:46:16,106
-I'm going to prove.
-That's it?

719
00:46:16,840 --> 00:46:18,509
That's all y'all got for me?

720
00:46:18,942 --> 00:46:21,945
You brought me all here
for a picture in the envelope?

721
00:46:22,012 --> 00:46:23,447
Yes.

722
00:46:23,514 --> 00:46:29,553
That means his legs was under the rope.
Your title ring, my guy, is fraudulent.

723
00:46:29,620 --> 00:46:33,390
What's wrong with you, dawg?
You don't speak good English.

724
00:46:33,457 --> 00:46:35,292
You want dog food or something?

725
00:46:35,526 --> 00:46:38,028
Do I need to smack you back
to the motherland?

726
00:46:38,095 --> 00:46:42,032
-Hey, wait!
-Whoa. That there was a trick question.

727
00:46:42,533 --> 00:46:44,501
-[Lash] Trick question?
-Not know them?

728
00:46:44,568 --> 00:46:47,437
If you wanted a title match,
all you had to do was ask.

729
00:46:47,771 --> 00:46:50,174
I got no problem smacking
that bun off your head.

730
00:46:50,240 --> 00:46:52,609
-All you gotta do is say it.
-[crowd cheers]

731
00:46:52,676 --> 00:46:56,613
You've got jokes, but you're still
not accepting the reality.

732
00:46:57,147 --> 00:47:00,350
-Reality.
-I ain't out here to play the games, dog.

733
00:47:00,417 --> 00:47:03,086
Y'all with all the games.
Trick Willie ain't with that.

734
00:47:03,153 --> 00:47:05,823
Lash, we're here acting
like we're on the Maury Show.

735
00:47:07,524 --> 00:47:10,861
Which, by the way,
Trick Willie ain't the daddy.

736
00:47:10,928 --> 00:47:13,964
[crowd roars]

737
00:47:16,233 --> 00:47:17,234
Lash.

738
00:47:17,835 --> 00:47:20,470
What is he talking about?
What's he talking about?

739
00:47:20,537 --> 00:47:22,139
I don't know. I don't…

740
00:47:22,906 --> 00:47:24,575
Whoa, whoa.

741
00:47:25,475 --> 00:47:26,476
Lash,

742
00:47:27,578 --> 00:47:31,014
do you want to tell him,
or do you want me to tell him?

743
00:47:31,081 --> 00:47:35,485
-Hold up, hold up. Tell us what, Lash?
-We may be family.

744
00:47:35,552 --> 00:47:38,422
-Tell us what?
-What's this? What we do here?

745
00:47:40,457 --> 00:47:42,125
-Babe, I mean.
-"Babe"?

746
00:47:42,192 --> 00:47:43,527
Trick! Trick!

747
00:47:43,594 --> 00:47:45,429
[crowd explodes]

748
00:47:45,495 --> 00:47:48,232
Listen, wait a minute.
This isn't the time. What are…?

749
00:47:48,298 --> 00:47:51,435
Whoa, whoa. This is the time.
Check it out, man.

750
00:47:51,501 --> 00:47:55,205
We got nothing to be scared about.
It's about me and you right now.

751
00:47:55,372 --> 00:47:57,374
[crowd screams with excitement]

752
00:47:57,875 --> 00:47:58,775
What is happening?

753
00:47:58,842 --> 00:48:02,980
Tell the people
that you call me "Trick Willy Wonka".

754
00:48:03,046 --> 00:48:05,148
[Jakara] I'm gonna be sick.

755
00:48:06,283 --> 00:48:08,819
Wait. you know what?
I can't do this. I'm not.

756
00:48:09,886 --> 00:48:10,888
[Noam] What?

757
00:48:11,788 --> 00:48:14,625
Not the time or the place.
What are we…?

758
00:48:14,691 --> 00:48:16,860
-[Vic] Ooh!
-[Book] Oh, baby.

759
00:48:17,394 --> 00:48:20,397
[crowd boos]

760
00:48:39,816 --> 00:48:42,953
[Vic] Fun and games are over.

761
00:48:43,720 --> 00:48:46,723
[crowd keeps booing]

762
00:48:50,060 --> 00:48:53,664
[Vic] Dar just dropped the champion.

763
00:48:56,566 --> 00:48:59,469
And there's no trick question about it.

764
00:48:59,770 --> 00:49:02,072
Trick is now the target.

765
00:49:07,477 --> 00:49:12,249
[narrator] Three categories made up
the power portion of the Women's Combine,

766
00:49:12,316 --> 00:49:14,785
and it kicked off with the vertical jump.

767
00:49:18,255 --> 00:49:22,993
The vertical jump measures
a superstar's vertical power production.

768
00:49:26,463 --> 00:49:31,068
Women reaching for every inch they could
in order to move up the leaderboard.

769
00:49:34,204 --> 00:49:36,306
Then it was the broad jump,

770
00:49:37,341 --> 00:49:41,078
measuring a superstar's
horizontal power production.

771
00:49:43,814 --> 00:49:48,018
Superstars must keep their balance
when landing because if they fell over,

772
00:49:48,085 --> 00:49:49,720
their scores would not count.

773
00:49:51,021 --> 00:49:54,891
The last category in power
was the rotational punch,

774
00:49:55,058 --> 00:49:58,695
measuring the force
and power of your punch.

775
00:49:58,862 --> 00:50:02,833
In all, 20 superstars pack up a punch.

776
00:50:04,901 --> 00:50:11,808
Michin blew the competition away,
proving why she's part of Smack Down's O.C.

777
00:50:11,875 --> 00:50:17,614
But one woman proved her dominance
in this section, OTM's Jaida Parker.

778
00:50:21,685 --> 00:50:25,789
Into the last two sections of the combine,
it was make it or break it time

779
00:50:25,856 --> 00:50:30,894
for a few women it if they wanted
to stay in the running to become

780
00:50:31,061 --> 00:50:34,231
the first women's North American champion.

781
00:50:38,902 --> 00:50:44,040
[Vic] Results still to come
from the NXT Women's Combine.

782
00:50:45,642 --> 00:50:46,643
[bell rings]

783
00:50:46,710 --> 00:50:49,679
[announcer] The following contest
is scheduled for one fall.

784
00:50:49,746 --> 00:50:54,518
Introducing first, Kelani Jordan!

785
00:50:55,018 --> 00:50:58,622
[Vic] Well, here comes
the leader in the combine.

786
00:50:59,489 --> 00:51:03,994
The next NXT Women's North American
champion could be in this match up.

787
00:51:04,060 --> 00:51:06,163
Fallon, Jordan. Next.

788
00:51:09,933 --> 00:51:16,373
[snoring and exhaling]

789
00:51:24,214 --> 00:51:27,217
Natty, I'm so sorry.
I feel like you've taken me

790
00:51:27,284 --> 00:51:30,153
under your wing
and I'm just constantly letting you down.

791
00:51:30,187 --> 00:51:31,488
Karmen, don't be silly.

792
00:51:31,555 --> 00:51:35,459
Honestly, whether you've been here
for a year or 17 years, that's part of it.

793
00:51:35,525 --> 00:51:39,930
-Like, it's about finding your edge.
-Nat, what do you mean?

794
00:51:39,996 --> 00:51:42,265
In karate,
it's about the art of self-defense.

795
00:51:42,332 --> 00:51:45,802
In wrestling, it's about bringing offense,
about being the aggressor.

796
00:51:45,869 --> 00:51:49,473
And to tell you,
that underground match last week was sick.

797
00:51:49,539 --> 00:51:50,707
Thank you so much.

798
00:51:51,241 --> 00:51:56,646
-Okay. Be the aggressor.
-Karmen. Hey, don't worry about the loss.

799
00:51:56,813 --> 00:51:59,883
At the end of the day,
you're still a smoke show,

800
00:52:05,922 --> 00:52:07,891
Okay, we need more of that.

801
00:52:07,958 --> 00:52:10,260
We can build off of that. That's a start.

802
00:52:10,727 --> 00:52:15,165
-That's a start.
-[groans]

803
00:52:16,199 --> 00:52:21,738
[Vic] When whoever that was wakes up
might want to rethink some life choices.

804
00:52:21,805 --> 00:52:22,906
See that kid?

805
00:52:22,973 --> 00:52:25,008
[crowd boos]

806
00:52:25,075 --> 00:52:30,313
[announcer] Making her way to the ring,
Fallon Henley!

807
00:52:35,385 --> 00:52:36,920
[inaudible]

808
00:52:37,621 --> 00:52:40,257
["Saddle Up" playing]

809
00:53:01,211 --> 00:53:04,314
-[Vic] This is an interesting match up.
-[bell rings]

810
00:53:04,881 --> 00:53:09,653
Two people that have certainly been close,
have been friends, have been teammates,

811
00:53:09,719 --> 00:53:11,154
have fought for one another.

812
00:53:11,321 --> 00:53:13,557
And when you look
at Henley after last year…

813
00:53:13,623 --> 00:53:15,725
[Book] You just don't want
to see it, dude.

814
00:53:15,792 --> 00:53:18,495
[Vic] Maybe her recent actions
are caused by feeling…

815
00:53:20,797 --> 00:53:26,136
-…overwhelmed
-Perhaps. Chicks and championships.

816
00:53:26,203 --> 00:53:29,639
I got you. I'm not putting it
on the bingo card. You messed it up.

817
00:53:29,706 --> 00:53:32,275
The women's combine's
still to be announced tonight.

818
00:53:32,342 --> 00:53:35,245
We talked about
that Women's North American championship.

819
00:53:35,312 --> 00:53:38,782
The entire locker room is waiting
to see if they qualify.

820
00:53:38,848 --> 00:53:41,451
Jordan was the leader,
Michin's kind the leader now.

821
00:53:41,518 --> 00:53:43,453
Fallon Henley wants to be part of it.

822
00:53:43,520 --> 00:53:47,390
I mean, every woman in the locker room
wants to have that magical moment

823
00:53:47,457 --> 00:53:50,594
that you're called out
in Vegas at Battleground.

824
00:53:50,660 --> 00:53:53,997
[Book] Who says it's since day one?

825
00:53:54,831 --> 00:53:58,635
Fallon Henley has a lot of talent,
but she needs to be more selfish.

826
00:53:58,702 --> 00:54:00,370
She needs to think about herself.

827
00:54:02,272 --> 00:54:04,908
Oh, yes. I'm talking about
that right there.

828
00:54:04,975 --> 00:54:10,113
[Vic] Exactly what Henley does. Call out
her friends for not having her back.

829
00:54:10,814 --> 00:54:13,950
And to that point, it looks
like Fallon has seen the light

830
00:54:14,017 --> 00:54:15,752
-as you would say.
-It's not that.

831
00:54:15,819 --> 00:54:19,022
[Book] I mean, you have
no friends, truly friends.

832
00:54:19,089 --> 00:54:23,393
In this business, everybody want
what you got, your spot.

833
00:54:23,460 --> 00:54:25,862
-Oh, yes. I know that personally.
-We talk about

834
00:54:25,929 --> 00:54:28,698
the Combine featuring superstars
from Raw and Smack Down.

835
00:54:28,765 --> 00:54:31,568
And with that decision
about the women's combine looming,

836
00:54:31,635 --> 00:54:33,403
this could be a must win

837
00:54:33,470 --> 00:54:36,339
for both these women as Fallon Henley

838
00:54:36,406 --> 00:54:40,176
showcasing a vicious side
of herself here tonight.

839
00:54:41,111 --> 00:54:44,881
General Manager Ava
has her eyes on all the contests tonight.

840
00:54:44,948 --> 00:54:47,050
[Book] Opportunities like this, to become

841
00:54:47,117 --> 00:54:50,320
the first North American
champion don't come too often.

842
00:54:50,387 --> 00:54:54,557
Let me tell you, Fallon Henley just looked
like she got the right idea.

843
00:54:54,624 --> 00:54:57,360
Looked like that light bulb
finally went off, man.

844
00:54:57,427 --> 00:54:59,829
[Vic] As you just saw,
still to come, Perez-Green

845
00:54:59,896 --> 00:55:04,100
for the NXT Women's Championship,
our massive main event.

846
00:55:04,668 --> 00:55:08,638
Fallon swinging wildly
and Kelani Jordan answering right back.

847
00:55:08,705 --> 00:55:12,809
Look at the combination offense.
Up and over. Nice leg drop.

848
00:55:12,876 --> 00:55:17,614
It was effective with a flip and a twist…
and a kick out by Fallon.

849
00:55:18,348 --> 00:55:20,817
Heard from both these women
throughout the week,

850
00:55:20,884 --> 00:55:24,087
obviously what happened last week,
will Jordan regret

851
00:55:24,154 --> 00:55:27,090
maybe not necessarily
taking that swing over the weekend

852
00:55:27,157 --> 00:55:29,459
-at Fallon Henley at the combine?
-I think so.

853
00:55:29,526 --> 00:55:32,128
You got a chance to take a shot,
you take it.

854
00:55:32,195 --> 00:55:34,564
You don't wanna miss out
on something like that.

855
00:55:34,998 --> 00:55:40,370
And Kelani Jordan, she was so close
to becoming breakout tournament winner.

856
00:55:40,437 --> 00:55:44,374
So some may say she is truly
the breakout tournament winner.

857
00:55:44,441 --> 00:55:48,311
[Vic] I think it was very mature of Jordan
to stay focused on the task at hand

858
00:55:48,378 --> 00:55:49,546
over the weekend.

859
00:55:49,612 --> 00:55:53,383
Much like she's able to keep her composure
in this match up against someone

860
00:55:53,450 --> 00:55:56,853
she considered a close friend
and a locker room leader.

861
00:55:56,920 --> 00:55:59,222
As Jordan goes up over gets caught.

862
00:55:59,289 --> 00:56:03,193
Henley trying to hold on back,
landing on her feet, charging in and…

863
00:56:03,259 --> 00:56:07,430
-[Vic] Nice take down into the headlock.
-[Book] Wow, beautiful combination.

864
00:56:08,198 --> 00:56:10,567
That's got high stakes right here, Vic.

865
00:56:10,633 --> 00:56:14,771
You don't want to make one mistake
'cause that right there, it could be over.

866
00:56:14,971 --> 00:56:18,508
[Vic] Take another look.
A little extra from Kelani Jordan,

867
00:56:18,575 --> 00:56:22,245
which is why she was the leader
in the combine clubhouse earlier tonight.

868
00:56:22,312 --> 00:56:28,651
But Henley looking to make her pay,
snapping her neck across the top rope.

869
00:56:29,753 --> 00:56:33,256
And this is certainly
a new side of Fallon Henley,

870
00:56:33,323 --> 00:56:39,195
who is in firm control
of this match up as NXT rolls on.

871
00:56:41,965 --> 00:56:43,066
Back on NXT.

872
00:56:43,133 --> 00:56:48,505
And Fallon Henley has been in control
of Kelani Jordan in this match up.

873
00:56:48,571 --> 00:56:51,307
Two women who were close,
who have been partners.

874
00:56:51,374 --> 00:56:53,276
Fallon into the cover and a kick out.

875
00:56:53,343 --> 00:56:57,213
But Fallon Henley's recent actions
certainly have not sat well with some

876
00:56:57,280 --> 00:57:01,885
on the locker room,
including Kelani Jordan.

877
00:57:01,951 --> 00:57:03,953
And that was really the turning point.

878
00:57:04,020 --> 00:57:09,292
Look at the snap of the neck,
the buckling of the knees from Kelani.

879
00:57:09,359 --> 00:57:13,196
And ever since that moment,
it has been all Fallon Henley.

880
00:57:15,565 --> 00:57:21,004
Just a different look in the eyes
of Fallon Henley here tonight on NXT.

881
00:57:21,070 --> 00:57:25,108
[Book] Just taking advantage
of every opportunity given, Vic.

882
00:57:25,175 --> 00:57:26,676
That's just part of the game.

883
00:57:28,077 --> 00:57:29,479
[Vic] The match up continues.

884
00:57:29,546 --> 00:57:35,518
I was just passed a note receiving
a medical update on our NXT champion,

885
00:57:35,585 --> 00:57:40,156
Trick Williams, who has left
the building under his own power,

886
00:57:40,623 --> 00:57:44,093
but I'm under the understanding
he was taken to the hospital

887
00:57:44,160 --> 00:57:45,829
for further evaluations.

888
00:57:45,995 --> 00:57:49,766
[Book] I think it's time to take Noam Dar
very serious because he just wants

889
00:57:49,833 --> 00:57:52,969
-his piece of the action.
-A cover, another count, and a kick.

890
00:57:53,036 --> 00:57:56,606
[Book] He just wants some champagne,
has caviar dreams.

891
00:57:56,673 --> 00:58:00,543
-[Book] I get it, man.
-[Vic] Kind of what Fallon wants too.

892
00:58:00,610 --> 00:58:03,112
She kind of wants her friends
to have had her back.

893
00:58:03,179 --> 00:58:05,982
She's putting herself first,
as she said in her own words.

894
00:58:06,049 --> 00:58:08,785
But Kelani… Trying to turn things around!

895
00:58:08,852 --> 00:58:12,889
Look at Fallon Henley.
This side of Fallon coming out tonight

896
00:58:12,956 --> 00:58:17,060
as Jordan now desperately trying
to make her way to the ropes

897
00:58:17,126 --> 00:58:19,896
and just getting ripped back
to the center of the ring.

898
00:58:21,130 --> 00:58:24,934
Again, this isn't just personal.
This isn't just about making a statement.

899
00:58:25,001 --> 00:58:27,170
This is two women
also fighting for history.

900
00:58:27,237 --> 00:58:29,239
Off the turnbuckle into the cover.

901
00:58:29,305 --> 00:58:32,675
[Book] No, you just said it.
It's not personal. This is business.

902
00:58:32,742 --> 00:58:36,145
How many times I've said it,
you're not too far going to know that.

903
00:58:36,613 --> 00:58:39,782
[Vic] "This isn't personal."
Maybe to Fallon it is personal

904
00:58:39,849 --> 00:58:41,017
to Kelani Jordan.

905
00:58:41,084 --> 00:58:44,387
[Vic] What happened between Fallon
and Thea was a lesson learned.

906
00:58:44,454 --> 00:58:46,890
Is that what you're telling me?
A lesson learned.

907
00:58:47,824 --> 00:58:52,662
Boom! Coming in off the ropes,
Kelani Jordan starting to feel the energy,

908
00:58:52,829 --> 00:58:58,001
feeling all those emotions from what
transpired last week, over the weekend,

909
00:58:58,067 --> 00:59:01,237
which she held back.
She can't hold back anymore, Book.

910
00:59:01,304 --> 00:59:04,340
She's got to bring it to Fallon.

911
00:59:05,341 --> 00:59:08,878
Jordan would have preferred
to have a civil conversation, I'm sure,

912
00:59:08,945 --> 00:59:11,247
but that is not
what is happening here tonight.

913
00:59:12,181 --> 00:59:14,851
Looking to take out Fallon.

914
00:59:17,353 --> 00:59:19,222
Fallon, wisely, getting to the ropes,

915
00:59:19,289 --> 00:59:21,858
trying to pull herself back to her feet.

916
00:59:21,925 --> 00:59:24,427
Every match up is important
in the women's division,

917
00:59:24,494 --> 00:59:27,363
for the last several weeks and months.
And what a kick!

918
00:59:28,164 --> 00:59:31,434
[Book] Just talked about that.
You don't want to make one mistake.

919
00:59:31,501 --> 00:59:35,405
And Kelani Jordan
just got a little overzealous right there.

920
00:59:35,471 --> 00:59:41,177
[Vic] On June 9th, we'll be in Vegas
UFC Apex. One woman will make history.

921
00:59:41,244 --> 00:59:44,447
Who will climb the ladder,
retrieve the title, be the first ever

922
00:59:44,514 --> 00:59:46,849
Women's North American champion?

923
00:59:46,916 --> 00:59:51,254
But here in the now, Fallon Henley
is focused on taking down,

924
00:59:51,321 --> 00:59:56,492
taking out Kelani Jordan.
Nice suplex and floating right over.

925
00:59:56,559 --> 01:00:00,563
I think she's looking for a right hand,
but Kelani wisely able to power out.

926
01:00:00,630 --> 01:00:02,398
[Book] You gotta be one step ahead.

927
01:00:02,465 --> 01:00:06,102
You gotta know exactly where you're going
in this situation right here.

928
01:00:06,169 --> 01:00:09,906
[Vic] These two know each other very well,
have teamed together,

929
01:00:09,973 --> 01:00:14,611
stand and delivered together.
Biggest stand and deliver of all time.

930
01:00:15,945 --> 01:00:20,416
Accidentally, that turnbuckle
was just ripped off by Fallon.

931
01:00:21,684 --> 01:00:23,886
This match up continuing between these two.

932
01:00:23,953 --> 01:00:26,055
This has been
a highly competitive contest.

933
01:00:26,122 --> 01:00:28,625
[Book] I think that turnbuckle
was inadvertently done.

934
01:00:28,691 --> 01:00:30,727
-[Vic] I would agree.
-[Book] By accident.

935
01:00:30,793 --> 01:00:31,794
[Vic] Nice.

936
01:00:33,029 --> 01:00:35,632
Kelani now trying to come right back in.

937
01:00:35,698 --> 01:00:39,669
Charging in.
Oh, now you talking about inadvertent.

938
01:00:39,769 --> 01:00:43,473
Inadvertently, Kelani
went into that steel turnbuckle.

939
01:00:43,640 --> 01:00:45,708
And following it up is Fallon.

940
01:00:47,043 --> 01:00:52,315
Right into the cover, into the count.
Fallon, victorious tonight.

941
01:00:52,815 --> 01:00:57,286
[announcer] Here is your winner,
Fallon Henley!

942
01:00:57,553 --> 01:01:00,356
[Vic] A new side of Fallon.

943
01:01:05,094 --> 01:01:06,796
[Vic] I agree with you, Booker.

944
01:01:06,863 --> 01:01:09,265
I don't think that was done
with malicious intent.

945
01:01:09,332 --> 01:01:12,001
It just so happened
the turnbuckle pad came off.

946
01:01:12,101 --> 01:01:15,138
And falling into it,
off the counter, was Kelani.

947
01:01:15,204 --> 01:01:21,444
That opened the door
for Fallon Henley to slam the door shut.

948
01:01:21,511 --> 01:01:25,181
On a former friend
and partner here tonight.

949
01:01:26,549 --> 01:01:28,418
And if Ava is watching,

950
01:01:28,618 --> 01:01:34,424
that only could be points for Fallon
in the right side of the column.

951
01:01:42,198 --> 01:01:46,903
Tony D'Angelo, you want a Heritage Cup
match so bad? You want your payment?

952
01:01:46,969 --> 01:01:50,073
Well, fine.
We're gonna give you what you want.

953
01:01:50,139 --> 01:01:54,177
But you're gonna end up regretting it.
You may be the dawn of NXT,

954
01:01:54,243 --> 01:01:58,881
but when it comes to the Heritage Cup,
the NQCC holds all the power.

955
01:02:00,783 --> 01:02:04,220
And that power lies
within the catch clause.

956
01:02:04,620 --> 01:02:07,757
Strategize all you want.
Study all the tape you want.

957
01:02:07,824 --> 01:02:10,960
It means nothing. The Catch clause states

958
01:02:11,127 --> 01:02:15,364
which one of us steps foot in the ring
with you. Is it gonna be me, Tony?

959
01:02:15,431 --> 01:02:17,467
Is it Damon? Miles?

960
01:02:18,601 --> 01:02:21,070
You'll have to wait
til next week to find out.

961
01:02:21,137 --> 01:02:26,442
How does it feel, Don,
to hold absolutely none of the power?

962
01:02:31,347 --> 01:02:35,585
[narrator] As the NXT combine headed
towards the finish line, the strength

963
01:02:35,651 --> 01:02:39,155
and conditioning sections
would make or break superstars dreams.

964
01:02:41,023 --> 01:02:47,897
The overhead medicine ball throw, testing
a superstar's explosive strength output.

965
01:02:52,502 --> 01:02:59,275
One superstar completely dominated
this event. Metaphors, Lash Legend.

966
01:02:59,876 --> 01:03:02,612
Lash showed up and showed out.

967
01:03:04,313 --> 01:03:09,986
And to the trainers' surprise,
Wren Sinclair had a strong showing.

968
01:03:12,922 --> 01:03:16,526
Onto the iso mid thigh pull,

969
01:03:22,098 --> 01:03:24,834
recording your maximum strength output.

970
01:03:28,171 --> 01:03:31,908
Once again, Michin
put up an impressive number.

971
01:03:31,974 --> 01:03:35,912
But Izzi Dame put herself
in contention with her performance.

972
01:03:38,481 --> 01:03:39,849
[all group] One go!

973
01:03:42,118 --> 01:03:45,521
The last of nine events
was the conditioning gauntlet.

974
01:03:46,055 --> 01:03:52,195
Several different cardiovascular fitness
drills testing endurance and stamina.

975
01:03:55,832 --> 01:03:59,468
Raw's pitbull, Ivy Nile led the way,

976
01:03:59,535 --> 01:04:02,638
proving her fitness
is levels above her peers.

977
01:04:05,141 --> 01:04:07,710
Every woman gave it their all
in this combine.

978
01:04:07,777 --> 01:04:12,782
But which 12 superstars made the cut
in advance to the qualifying match stage

979
01:04:12,848 --> 01:04:19,856
in the journey to crown the first ever
Women's North America American champion?

980
01:04:26,329 --> 01:04:31,167
[Vic] Who is going to qualify?

981
01:04:31,534 --> 01:04:34,170
We find out tonight.

982
01:04:35,271 --> 01:04:38,274
[rock music]

983
01:04:42,144 --> 01:04:43,212
[bell rings]

984
01:04:43,279 --> 01:04:46,682
[announcer] The following contest
is scheduled for one fall.

985
01:04:46,749 --> 01:04:50,920
Introducing first, Lexis King.

986
01:04:52,021 --> 01:04:55,024
[Vic] A standing ovation
already from Booker T.

987
01:04:55,091 --> 01:05:01,163
For his guy, Lexis King. But no one
is safe to his unwanted opinions.

988
01:05:01,230 --> 01:05:05,034
Not even Chase U, the MVP.
Duke-King. Next.

989
01:05:08,337 --> 01:05:11,107
Ava, we've seen highlights
from the combine in the show.

990
01:05:11,173 --> 01:05:15,511
So which superstars have made the top 12
and are advancing to qualifying matches?

991
01:05:15,711 --> 01:05:18,948
Well, all 20 women that competed
in the combine did amazing.

992
01:05:19,015 --> 01:05:22,418
And they showed why our women's division
is untouchable.

993
01:05:22,485 --> 01:05:24,754
But like you said,
only 12 women can advance.

994
01:05:24,820 --> 01:05:28,991
And I have those names right here.
The women advancing are

995
01:05:29,525 --> 01:05:32,561
Sol Ruka, Thea Hail,

996
01:05:33,162 --> 01:05:37,533
Jaida Parker, Brinley Reece, Michin,

997
01:05:38,200 --> 01:05:42,672
Fallon Henley, Lash Legend, Ivy Nile,

998
01:05:43,239 --> 01:05:46,309
Izzi Dame, Kelani Jordan,

999
01:05:46,676 --> 01:05:51,747
Tatum Paxley and Wren Sinclair.
And those qualifying matches

1000
01:05:51,814 --> 01:05:55,284
for the Women's North American
championship begin next week.

1001
01:05:55,451 --> 01:05:57,453
-Always a pleasure, Ava.
-Thank you.

1002
01:05:59,488 --> 01:06:02,358
[Vic] Well, that is massive news
from our general manager.

1003
01:06:02,425 --> 01:06:05,728
But how about this massive movement
we've been watching on X?

1004
01:06:05,795 --> 01:06:08,130
This happened during the break.

1005
01:06:08,197 --> 01:06:12,802
Someone who's been trending, Sexy Red,
weighing in on what happened earlier.

1006
01:06:12,868 --> 01:06:15,538
A cheap shot from Noam Dar. No doubt.

1007
01:06:15,604 --> 01:06:20,476
Sexy Red looks to be in the corner
of the NXT champion, Trick Williams.

1008
01:06:20,543 --> 01:06:24,914
[Book] She wanna ride, she wanna take it.
Oh, yes, man.

1009
01:06:25,181 --> 01:06:28,184
[school band music playing]

1010
01:06:28,484 --> 01:06:33,923
[announcer] Representing Chase University,
Duke Hudson.

1011
01:06:34,924 --> 01:06:36,959
[crowd cheers]

1012
01:06:37,793 --> 01:06:41,297
-[Vic] You're focused on Sexy Red, right?
-[Book] No, you don't.

1013
01:06:41,364 --> 01:06:42,398
[bell rings]

1014
01:06:42,465 --> 01:06:47,336
-[Book] They're too loud. TV Star.
-[Vic] The MVP of Chase U.

1015
01:06:47,403 --> 01:06:49,905
[Vic] Stepping up tonight.
He wanted this match up.

1016
01:06:49,972 --> 01:06:52,508
Can he be the one to silence Lexis King?

1017
01:06:52,575 --> 01:06:54,610
[Book] I like everything about D.

1018
01:06:54,810 --> 01:07:01,317
The only thing I like about Chase U
is the MVP. He's raining down big shots.

1019
01:07:01,851 --> 01:07:03,419
[Thea] You gotta do this.

1020
01:07:03,753 --> 01:07:09,258
[Vic] Chase U on the outside,
Thea Hail as well, trying to rally.

1021
01:07:09,325 --> 01:07:13,062
Look at Duke Hudson ready for a fight.

1022
01:07:17,266 --> 01:07:20,169
As Duke swings away,
I want to bring this to you about him.

1023
01:07:20,236 --> 01:07:22,605
Is he the glue of Chase U?

1024
01:07:26,108 --> 01:07:30,146
He must be frustrated, you know,
he must be going through a lot of stress

1025
01:07:30,212 --> 01:07:33,816
during these times as well
because of one person

1026
01:07:33,883 --> 01:07:35,918
-[Book] Andre Chase.
-[Vic] Lexis King.

1027
01:07:37,253 --> 01:07:39,288
[Vic] How do you say Andre Chase?

1028
01:07:39,355 --> 01:07:41,624
You always yell at me
for living in the past.

1029
01:07:41,690 --> 01:07:44,293
-[Book] You're right.
-[Vic] You're living in the past.

1030
01:07:44,360 --> 01:07:47,430
[Vic] Nice sidewalk slam, cover,
and a kick out by King.

1031
01:07:47,496 --> 01:07:49,465
In Chase U there's no frustration.

1032
01:07:49,532 --> 01:07:52,168
Chase U celebrated all week long.

1033
01:07:52,234 --> 01:07:55,905
After Thea beat Jacy Jayne last week,
it was Spring Break.

1034
01:07:55,971 --> 01:07:58,474
-[Vic] They went camping.
-[Book] That's a problem.

1035
01:07:58,541 --> 01:08:03,446
How you going to celebrate after one win?
That's a problem, Vic.

1036
01:08:03,512 --> 01:08:07,383
That's Andre Chase. One to go.
Come on, come on.

1037
01:08:07,450 --> 01:08:09,618
[Vic] You didn't celebrate
your first victory?

1038
01:08:09,685 --> 01:08:15,124
-[Book] Wow.
-[Vic] I see how you changed the subject.

1039
01:08:15,191 --> 01:08:19,528
But I do agree with you,
Lexis King just had his breath taken away.

1040
01:08:19,595 --> 01:08:22,098
-[Vic] Hit him again!
-[Book] A good job by Hudson

1041
01:08:22,164 --> 01:08:26,802
on Lexis King, the TV star.
He's feeling it right now.

1042
01:08:26,969 --> 01:08:29,405
[Vic] He certainly is. He's the MVP.

1043
01:08:30,973 --> 01:08:35,878
And big suplex from Duke Hudson.
There is the Chase U student section.

1044
01:08:35,945 --> 01:08:37,513
I also want to add…

1045
01:08:37,913 --> 01:08:42,585
Wasn't it nice of Ridge to go in and check
on Thea Hail and Chase U earlier tonight?

1046
01:08:42,651 --> 01:08:45,554
Make sure she was okay?
Talk her up a little bit.

1047
01:08:45,621 --> 01:08:48,624
[Book] Yeah, you just trust Ridge.
You trust that guy.

1048
01:08:49,225 --> 01:08:52,561
-[Vic] He isn't a bad guy.
-[Book] Can you trust a snake?

1049
01:08:52,628 --> 01:08:55,764
[Vic] You trust Lexis King
and he's as slither as they come.

1050
01:08:55,831 --> 01:08:58,167
[Book]
You trust a snake to bite you. Oh, yes.

1051
01:08:58,234 --> 01:09:01,203
[Vic] Lexis King right now
fighting back in this match

1052
01:09:01,270 --> 01:09:03,439
and was able to weather
that storm early on

1053
01:09:03,506 --> 01:09:07,176
and earlier when we heard
from Lexis King that King sounded tired

1054
01:09:07,243 --> 01:09:08,477
of Chase U's antics.

1055
01:09:08,844 --> 01:09:10,913
[Book] Lexis is very technical.

1056
01:09:11,914 --> 01:09:13,716
He's not running away from a fight.

1057
01:09:13,782 --> 01:09:16,452
[Vic] Into the cover and a kick.
On the topic of kings

1058
01:09:16,519 --> 01:09:20,156
by the way, congratulations
to former NXT champion Ilja Dragunov

1059
01:09:20,222 --> 01:09:24,193
for advancing in the King of the Ring
tournament last night on Monday Night Raw.

1060
01:09:24,260 --> 01:09:29,298
[Book] Dragunov fulfilled an old dream.

1061
01:09:30,933 --> 01:09:33,169
[Vic] I finally figured out
about Lexis King.

1062
01:09:34,036 --> 01:09:37,540
[Book] He's a TV star.
What's hard to figure out about that?

1063
01:09:37,606 --> 01:09:40,242
[Vic] I finally figured out
his superhero ability.

1064
01:09:40,309 --> 01:09:44,146
It's alienating others, finding a way
to get under their skin.

1065
01:09:44,213 --> 01:09:47,550
[Book] What's wrong with that
in this business? It's a great superpower.

1066
01:09:47,616 --> 01:09:50,052
[Vic] What? What do you mean by that?

1067
01:09:50,119 --> 01:09:56,292
Rolling through, Hudson, shoulders down
and a near fall. Ooh, swinging.

1068
01:09:56,859 --> 01:09:58,627
Right now from the ribs to the gut

1069
01:09:58,694 --> 01:10:02,932
trying to knock the wind right out
of the lungs of Lexis King.

1070
01:10:02,998 --> 01:10:05,634
Ridge Holland wanted
this fight earlier tonight.

1071
01:10:05,701 --> 01:10:08,037
But it was Duke Hudson who stepped up.

1072
01:10:08,103 --> 01:10:10,306
But now it's Hudson who gets chopped down.

1073
01:10:10,372 --> 01:10:14,944
[Book] What are you talking about? It was
Lexis King who stepped up for this fight.

1074
01:10:15,010 --> 01:10:17,513
Oh, yes. Oh, yes.

1075
01:10:17,580 --> 01:10:19,682
God by. God by.

1076
01:10:21,884 --> 01:10:24,286
[Vic] Never mind.
Now getting to the outside.

1077
01:10:24,353 --> 01:10:27,223
Lexis King right back
in the face of Thea Hail.

1078
01:10:27,289 --> 01:10:29,592
And that's how this whole issue started.

1079
01:10:29,658 --> 01:10:33,128
-[Book] Look, a whole gang trying to…
-[Vic] That's Holland!

1080
01:10:33,195 --> 01:10:34,763
[Book] The hell is this?

1081
01:10:34,830 --> 01:10:38,934
[Vic] Ridge Holland chasing King
back into the ring in a big right hand.

1082
01:10:40,603 --> 01:10:43,205
Ridge Holland a little overzealous.

1083
01:10:43,639 --> 01:10:47,910
Oh! Super kick under the jaw.
Duke Hudson is rocked.

1084
01:10:47,977 --> 01:10:53,015
-[Vic] And now the Corn.
-[Book] Rock-a-bye baby.

1085
01:10:53,882 --> 01:10:55,351
[Vic] Lexis King

1086
01:10:56,218 --> 01:10:58,988
-crowning Duke Hudson.
-Beautiful.

1087
01:10:59,054 --> 01:11:03,626
[announcer] Here's your winner,
Lexis King.

1088
01:11:03,692 --> 01:11:05,794
[Vic] Wow, it was Lexis King

1089
01:11:07,429 --> 01:11:12,835
who called Chase U
a group of losers earlier tonight.

1090
01:11:13,002 --> 01:11:14,036
[Book] Great name.

1091
01:11:15,671 --> 01:11:19,775
[Vic] This was after Ridge Holland
chased Lexis King back into the ring.

1092
01:11:19,842 --> 01:11:25,481
Ridge Holland was so upset,
he let his emotions get the better of him.

1093
01:11:25,547 --> 01:11:28,517
And it led to Lexis King hitting

1094
01:11:28,584 --> 01:11:34,456
that coronation in the center of the ring.
Into the cover, into the victory.

1095
01:11:36,358 --> 01:11:39,395
Ridge Holland might want
to rethink what he just did

1096
01:11:39,461 --> 01:11:43,899
because Lexis King
just picked up a victory.

1097
01:11:44,333 --> 01:11:45,334
Lexis.

1098
01:11:46,902 --> 01:11:50,105
[female reporter] Noam, what happened
in the Supernova Sessions?

1099
01:11:50,172 --> 01:11:52,808
What happened? Trick Williams
just got his lights put out.

1100
01:11:52,875 --> 01:11:55,311
-Well, where's Lash?
-Next question.

1101
01:11:59,948 --> 01:12:02,418
It's all love, but, okay,
I'll try and play

1102
01:12:02,484 --> 01:12:04,953
-for my boy Trick.
-Look at this guy coming at us.

1103
01:12:05,020 --> 01:12:07,122
-My guy, move.
-Calm down, my boy.

1104
01:12:09,124 --> 01:12:12,861
-I ain't trying to get in your business.
-You couldn't if you tried.

1105
01:12:12,928 --> 01:12:14,830
What's your point here, mate? Talk.

1106
01:12:14,897 --> 01:12:16,665
You raising your voice.

1107
01:12:16,732 --> 01:12:18,133
Oh, let's get bigger.

1108
01:12:20,269 --> 01:12:23,472
Je'Von, I get it.
You're the shiny new toy around here.

1109
01:12:23,539 --> 01:12:27,609
But there's no quicker way to clip
your wings or stunt your growth

1110
01:12:27,676 --> 01:12:31,080
than step into us. Look at me
when I'm talking to you,

1111
01:12:31,146 --> 01:12:34,249
And if you don't believe me,
ask Trip Williams when he wakes up.

1112
01:12:34,316 --> 01:12:36,118
Thank you. Bye. Bye.

1113
01:12:37,019 --> 01:12:40,389
Keep walking, my guy.

1114
01:12:40,556 --> 01:12:44,727
[Vic] Well, Dar has been hearing it
from a lot for his actions tonight.

1115
01:12:44,793 --> 01:12:49,932
But is tonight Green's golden moment?
With the NXT women's title

1116
01:12:49,998 --> 01:12:55,070
on the line, she will challenge
Roxanne Perez, who is all business.

1117
01:12:55,137 --> 01:12:57,272
She believes the world is out to get her.

1118
01:12:57,339 --> 01:13:01,577
It's main event time
for the Women's Championship live on NXT.

1119
01:13:05,914 --> 01:13:09,051
Thea Hail comes off
as that girl next door, right?

1120
01:13:09,118 --> 01:13:11,420
Full of all that spunk and energy. Ugh.

1121
01:13:11,487 --> 01:13:16,091
The ultimate underdog who wants everyone
to be her friend. But last week,

1122
01:13:16,158 --> 01:13:20,396
Thea Hail showed the entire world
exactly who she is.

1123
01:13:20,462 --> 01:13:23,132
An animal with no remorse.

1124
01:13:24,700 --> 01:13:28,036
She shattered my best friend
Jacy Jayne's nose.

1125
01:13:28,103 --> 01:13:30,105
Where's the outrage from the NXT brass?

1126
01:13:30,172 --> 01:13:32,541
My timeline's blowing up
from my followers.

1127
01:13:32,608 --> 01:13:34,543
Thea Hail couldn't beat Jacy Jayne.

1128
01:13:34,610 --> 01:13:36,311
So, Ava, where's the suspension?

1129
01:13:36,378 --> 01:13:39,581
If it were up to me,
Thea would no longer be in NXT.

1130
01:13:41,116 --> 01:13:44,953
Right now, Jacy's recovering from surgery.
Jacy, as your best friend,

1131
01:13:45,020 --> 01:13:49,491
I wanted to let you know
that the entire WWE universe sends

1132
01:13:49,558 --> 01:13:53,529
their best wishes for a speedy recovery
because you didn't deserve this.

1133
01:13:53,695 --> 01:13:55,931
And I'll do everything in my power

1134
01:13:55,998 --> 01:14:00,002
to take care of that little Thea Hail
for committing such a heinous crime.

1135
01:14:04,873 --> 01:14:07,342
Duke, you had him.
No, you should have had him.

1136
01:14:07,409 --> 01:14:10,078
He's a worm. I never liked him
and he called me loser.

1137
01:14:10,145 --> 01:14:12,114
Breathe. Just breathe.

1138
01:14:12,181 --> 01:14:17,352
Duke, I'm so sorry. Guys, I'm so sorry.
I never meant to cost you the match.

1139
01:14:17,419 --> 01:14:20,556
I know that you're mad at me
and you have every right to be.

1140
01:14:20,622 --> 01:14:26,261
But every time I see Thea,
I can't help but see my little girl.

1141
01:14:26,428 --> 01:14:28,163
And I got into in your business…

1142
01:14:28,230 --> 01:14:29,465
Ridge.

1143
01:14:30,132 --> 01:14:33,469
We know it was Lexis, okay?
Don't worry about it.

1144
01:14:34,403 --> 01:14:36,538
You shout us dinner tonight,
we'll be even.

1145
01:14:36,605 --> 01:14:39,408
-I'd love to. Anything.
-That'll do.

1146
01:14:39,474 --> 01:14:43,312
-Thank you.
-But you did still cost Duke the match.

1147
01:14:43,779 --> 01:14:45,547
Mate, I've just apologized.

1148
01:14:45,614 --> 01:14:50,519
Yeah, I know you just apologized,
but a leopard never changes its spots.

1149
01:14:51,920 --> 01:14:57,059
Listen, if I have to earn
you guys' trust and earn your respect,

1150
01:14:57,993 --> 01:14:58,994
I will.

1151
01:15:00,128 --> 01:15:01,296
One day at a time.

1152
01:15:02,464 --> 01:15:04,566
-It cost Duke the match.
-I believe him.

1153
01:15:04,633 --> 01:15:06,101
I kind of believe him too.

1154
01:15:07,769 --> 01:15:11,673
[Vic] Here's a post from a man
who believes in peace, Shawn Michaels.

1155
01:15:11,740 --> 01:15:14,877
Booker, he's not like us.
He knows a thing or two

1156
01:15:14,943 --> 01:15:17,513
about a beef with a Canadian,
that's why he extended

1157
01:15:17,579 --> 01:15:22,251
an invitation on X to both Kendrick Lamar
and Drake to come to NXT.

1158
01:15:22,551 --> 01:15:27,155
And just like that, maybe with a tailor
made freestyle they can settle

1159
01:15:27,222 --> 01:15:34,162
their differences with the two-time WWE
Hall of Famer even volunteering to mediate

1160
01:15:34,229 --> 01:15:35,230
the situation.

1161
01:15:35,430 --> 01:15:41,003
But for now, let's go to what's going to
take place next week right here on NXT.

1162
01:15:41,169 --> 01:15:45,974
Because the NXT Women's North American
title qualifiers begin next week

1163
01:15:46,041 --> 01:15:50,946
as Sol Ruca, the top star from the combine
will battle Izzi Dame for a spot

1164
01:15:51,013 --> 01:15:55,951
in the six-woman ladder match at NXT
Battleground inside the UFC Apex in Vegas.

1165
01:15:56,018 --> 01:16:01,390
In addition to that, Monday Night Raw's
pitbull Ivy Nile will face

1166
01:16:01,456 --> 01:16:03,959
Lash Legend who has a lot on her own mind.

1167
01:16:04,126 --> 01:16:10,499
Also, four women two spots.
Who will qualify and try to make history

1168
01:16:10,566 --> 01:16:12,367
at NXT Battleground?

1169
01:16:12,434 --> 01:16:15,704
After tonight, The Don gets
his Heritage Cup opportunity

1170
01:16:15,771 --> 01:16:18,340
but the catch clause will be in effect.

1171
01:16:18,407 --> 01:16:21,677
The Family got one up on
the No Quarter Catch Crew earlier tonight.

1172
01:16:21,743 --> 01:16:24,046
Will that be the case next week

1173
01:16:24,112 --> 01:16:28,817
when the cup's on the line live on NXT.
And, after the Supernova Sessions

1174
01:16:28,884 --> 01:16:33,789
didn't sit well with Je'Von Evans,
he let Metaphor know. It was Noam Dar

1175
01:16:33,855 --> 01:16:37,492
who let him know the fastest way
to stunt your growth is to approach them.

1176
01:16:37,559 --> 01:16:41,530
Evans, not scared, looks to go
one on one and beat down Dar.

1177
01:16:41,597 --> 01:16:44,499
Next week live on NXT.

1178
01:16:47,970 --> 01:16:52,474
-[speakers] It's Chelsea.
-[Vic] But Booker, it's main event time!

1179
01:16:53,842 --> 01:16:56,845
["Hot Mess" playing]

1180
01:17:01,917 --> 01:17:08,857
And for the challenger, Chelsea could go
from Green to gold in a matter of moments.

1181
01:17:09,825 --> 01:17:15,764
[Book] I like that little analogy
but it's gonna be very hard.

1182
01:17:15,831 --> 01:17:20,135
She's taking on one of the best
in this business and you know who she is.

1183
01:17:20,202 --> 01:17:23,905
But I must give Chelsea Green her props.

1184
01:17:25,240 --> 01:17:27,542
[Vic] Well, you can hear the NXT universe

1185
01:17:27,609 --> 01:17:32,080
in love with Smack Down's newest superstar
Chelsea Green because of the draft.

1186
01:17:32,147 --> 01:17:36,018
I do have to point out that Smack Down's
general manager Nick Aldis

1187
01:17:36,084 --> 01:17:40,122
trying to get ahead of her nagging
worked out his situation which really

1188
01:17:40,188 --> 01:17:42,324
is a win-win for our general Manager Ava.

1189
01:17:46,962 --> 01:17:48,530
And there's the champion.

1190
01:17:49,164 --> 01:17:55,904
Booker, these two went back and forth
trading blows and jabs on social media

1191
01:17:55,971 --> 01:18:01,610
Roxanne Perez is ready to defend
her title in the main event here tonight.

1192
01:18:01,677 --> 01:18:04,446
[Book] Yes. We're looking
at a different Roxanne Perez.

1193
01:18:04,513 --> 01:18:10,619
One realizes why she is called a Prodigy.
She's just that damn good.

1194
01:18:10,686 --> 01:18:15,924
And now she's in that mood to where
she's willing to step on some toes

1195
01:18:15,991 --> 01:18:20,629
and step on some toes
and keep on walking, Jack. I love it, man.

1196
01:18:29,638 --> 01:18:31,273
Oh, baby.

1197
01:18:37,079 --> 01:18:38,080
[bell rings]

1198
01:18:38,714 --> 01:18:42,017
[announcer] The following contest
is scheduled for one fall

1199
01:18:43,018 --> 01:18:44,619
is for the NXT

1200
01:18:45,554 --> 01:18:46,755
Women's

1201
01:18:47,956 --> 01:18:49,591
Championship.

1202
01:18:52,761 --> 01:18:55,330
Introducing first the challenger,

1203
01:18:56,798 --> 01:18:59,701
Chelsea Green.

1204
01:19:02,604 --> 01:19:05,540
[crowd chants "Chelsea"]

1205
01:19:07,109 --> 01:19:11,413
And her opponent, she is the NXT

1206
01:19:12,314 --> 01:19:14,916
women's champion,

1207
01:19:15,884 --> 01:19:18,520
Roxanne Perez.

1208
01:19:19,221 --> 01:19:20,222
[crowd boos]

1209
01:19:20,789 --> 01:19:23,692
[Vic] Booker, you have quite the history
with both these women.

1210
01:19:23,759 --> 01:19:28,563
We know your history with Roxanne Perez.
But you've known the challenger,

1211
01:19:31,366 --> 01:19:34,002
the NXT universe is behind tonight.

1212
01:19:34,169 --> 01:19:36,705
You've known Chelsea Green
from her Tough Enough days.

1213
01:19:36,772 --> 01:19:41,443
[Book] Yes. There's a reason why Chelsea
is in this position here in the WWE.

1214
01:19:41,510 --> 01:19:46,181
Because she was one of the hardest workers
I ever seen on Tough Enough.

1215
01:19:46,248 --> 01:19:50,986
Let's see what she brings to the table
with the Prodigy, Roxanne Perez.

1216
01:19:51,052 --> 01:19:53,155
[Vic] Title on the line.
Main event on NXT.

1217
01:19:53,221 --> 01:19:55,624
Chelsea Green got constant complaining.

1218
01:19:55,690 --> 01:19:58,994
She gets on everyone's nerves,
her friends, her sister, her husband.

1219
01:19:59,060 --> 01:20:02,864
You know, her husband from back in the day
always ready to plug his ears

1220
01:20:02,931 --> 01:20:04,332
when she walks in the house.

1221
01:20:04,399 --> 01:20:07,502
You kind of feel bad for Nick Aldis.
She's going to Smack Down.

1222
01:20:07,569 --> 01:20:10,572
We got to look at a different side
of things for Chelsea.

1223
01:20:10,639 --> 01:20:14,409
What if she wins and she goes…?
Cover! Shoulders down, tight on the line,

1224
01:20:14,476 --> 01:20:17,712
Almost Chelsea Green
put gold around her waist.

1225
01:20:17,779 --> 01:20:22,150
[Book] Chelsea Green right there.
Her prowess has stepped up.

1226
01:20:22,217 --> 01:20:26,087
She's very smooth, very fluid
inside that square circle.

1227
01:20:26,154 --> 01:20:29,624
[Vic] I ask again, what if Chelsea wins?
What if she becomes champion?

1228
01:20:29,691 --> 01:20:33,128
What if she knocks off your girl,
Roxanne Perez?

1229
01:20:33,195 --> 01:20:36,531
[Book] Don't put the carriage
before the horse, Vic.

1230
01:20:36,598 --> 01:20:40,869
We'll get there when we need to.
Right now, Roxanne Perez is holding on.

1231
01:20:40,936 --> 01:20:42,737
[Vic] You did say something earlier.

1232
01:20:44,172 --> 01:20:45,941
[Vic] Oh, yes.

1233
01:20:46,007 --> 01:20:50,579
These two were punching, jabbing, kicking
and tweeting last night on social media.

1234
01:20:50,912 --> 01:20:53,548
And if you can get past
her constant shrieking,

1235
01:20:53,615 --> 01:20:56,785
Green is an accomplished wrestler.
She competed all over the world.

1236
01:20:56,852 --> 01:20:59,221
She's been a champion
everywhere she's gone

1237
01:20:59,287 --> 01:21:03,391
because the tricks of the trade
as Green is in control.

1238
01:21:03,458 --> 01:21:07,262
Who's walking out of NXT
with the NXT Women's Championship?

1239
01:21:10,031 --> 01:21:13,602
[Vic] This is our main event. It's all
about the NXT Women's Championship.

1240
01:21:13,668 --> 01:21:16,605
In control has been
throughout the break, Roxanne Perez.

1241
01:21:16,671 --> 01:21:20,242
And aren't you supposed to be
an unbiased journalist sitting next to me?

1242
01:21:20,408 --> 01:21:23,612
You were rooting on Roxanne Perez
every step of the way.

1243
01:21:23,778 --> 01:21:25,947
[Book] Why can't I root for Roxanne Perez?

1244
01:21:26,014 --> 01:21:28,116
[Vic] You're supposed to be in the middle.

1245
01:21:28,183 --> 01:21:31,052
-[Book] I might be…
-[Vic] Into the cover, into the count.

1246
01:21:31,119 --> 01:21:33,788
-[Vic] Champion retains… Kick out.
-[Booker] If Chelsea

1247
01:21:33,855 --> 01:21:36,024
can get on the ball
I might cheer for her too.

1248
01:21:36,091 --> 01:21:38,727
[Vic] Right in the fence and whatnot
So why is Perez?

1249
01:21:38,793 --> 01:21:40,762
Why does she feel
the world's out to get her?

1250
01:21:40,795 --> 01:21:43,732
[Book] You gotta understand
what Roxanne is going through.

1251
01:21:43,798 --> 01:21:45,467
[Vic] No one tries to hold her back.

1252
01:21:45,533 --> 01:21:50,005
[Book] I mean, giving up the title
the way she did, no immediate rematch.

1253
01:21:50,071 --> 01:21:54,776
I mean, not getting the title shot,
not getting chosen in the draft.

1254
01:21:54,843 --> 01:21:58,446
Number one draft pick. Come on.
It's a lot to think about here.

1255
01:21:58,513 --> 01:22:01,216
[Vic] First off, Perez looking for
a Russian leg sweep.

1256
01:22:01,283 --> 01:22:04,119
Nice counter by Chelsea Green.
And right back.

1257
01:22:04,185 --> 01:22:05,053
[Book] Great shot.

1258
01:22:05,120 --> 01:22:07,555
[Vic] First, we know champions
can't switch brands.

1259
01:22:07,622 --> 01:22:09,424
Second, you said it's been months.

1260
01:22:09,491 --> 01:22:13,561
She relinquished the title a year ago.
Booker, quit living in the past.

1261
01:22:13,628 --> 01:22:15,864
[Book] Rules are meant to be broken.

1262
01:22:15,931 --> 01:22:18,867
[Vic] The hell does that happen?
What are you talking about?

1263
01:22:18,934 --> 01:22:22,270
Roxanne Perez could have easily
been chosen. She's one of the best.

1264
01:22:22,337 --> 01:22:24,406
-She's the prodigy.
-I'm not arguing that.

1265
01:22:24,472 --> 01:22:27,342
-[Book] Wait a minute.
-[Vic] A Rough Rider.

1266
01:22:27,409 --> 01:22:29,144
[Book] I don't like the looks of that.

1267
01:22:29,311 --> 01:22:33,048
[Vic] Chelsea Green turning things around
in this match up.

1268
01:22:33,682 --> 01:22:35,717
[crowd chants "Chelsea"]

1269
01:22:35,784 --> 01:22:41,823
And right back in goes Green.
This could be Chelsea's moment.

1270
01:22:42,924 --> 01:22:45,994
-[Book] You're right.
-[Vic] Look who's the first one up.

1271
01:22:46,695 --> 01:22:50,332
-[Vic] It's Perez. It's the champion.
-[Book] Still the gas.

1272
01:22:50,498 --> 01:22:52,801
[Vic] And right back in
comes the challenger.

1273
01:22:52,867 --> 01:22:55,870
And it's that second,
that third win you always talk about.

1274
01:22:56,538 --> 01:22:57,872
[Book] Not just that, Vic.

1275
01:22:57,939 --> 01:23:01,977
Getting in those deep waters and know
how to handle yourself once you get there.

1276
01:23:02,043 --> 01:23:06,348
She's doing a damn good job, Vic.
Chelsea Green, I mean.

1277
01:23:08,717 --> 01:23:10,285
-[Book] Yes.
-[Vic] In the corner,

1278
01:23:10,352 --> 01:23:16,424
the challenger into the cover.
Title's on the line in another near fall.

1279
01:23:17,125 --> 01:23:20,862
Again, this is a side of Chelsea Green
we have not seen in quite some time.

1280
01:23:21,229 --> 01:23:24,799
[Book] It'll take more than that to put
Roxanne Perez away, Vic.

1281
01:23:24,866 --> 01:23:27,369
I mean all the accolades,
all the accolades.

1282
01:23:27,435 --> 01:23:30,372
But she's still willing to go out.
And pride.

1283
01:23:30,638 --> 01:23:32,273
[Vic] It was countered again.

1284
01:23:32,340 --> 01:23:35,010
In the NXT universe,
it's a fever pitch for this event.

1285
01:23:35,076 --> 01:23:40,815
I would say I was split 50-50
as Perez charging in with a drop kick,

1286
01:23:40,882 --> 01:23:43,785
basement style rocking the challenger.

1287
01:23:45,186 --> 01:23:50,091
And for Roxanne Perez, this could be that
moment for her to put this match away.

1288
01:23:50,158 --> 01:23:51,626
And look at Green. Oh!

1289
01:23:52,727 --> 01:23:54,629
You said cut corners earlier.

1290
01:23:54,696 --> 01:23:58,266
[Book] That's smart.
That was very smart about Chelsea.

1291
01:23:59,300 --> 01:24:02,470
[Vic] A little extra from Green.
Referee checking on the champion.

1292
01:24:02,537 --> 01:24:04,773
[Book] Don't want to waste no time.

1293
01:24:04,839 --> 01:24:09,110
[Vic] Perez able to pop back up
and drop Chelsea.

1294
01:24:09,177 --> 01:24:10,445
[Book] What I was saying.

1295
01:24:10,512 --> 01:24:15,550
[Vic] Both these women now could carry
this position. High impact offense.

1296
01:24:15,617 --> 01:24:20,255
Look at the Prodigy quickly into the cover
of the Super Rana cover. And a kick out.

1297
01:24:21,089 --> 01:24:24,793
What a main event on NXT.
The women's championship is on the line.

1298
01:24:24,859 --> 01:24:27,495
Perez the champion
taking on the challenger.

1299
01:24:27,562 --> 01:24:31,800
Perez pulling out all the stops
here tonight against Chelsea Green.

1300
01:24:31,866 --> 01:24:34,702
[Book] Roxanne is keeping
the pressure on right now.

1301
01:24:34,769 --> 01:24:39,340
[Vic] We talked about Perez.
She's one on Smack Down.

1302
01:24:39,507 --> 01:24:41,709
She's been victorious
on premium live events.

1303
01:24:41,776 --> 01:24:45,447
She's competed
in two women's Royal Rumbles.

1304
01:24:46,014 --> 01:24:48,416
This is a personal issue for Roxanne.

1305
01:24:48,483 --> 01:24:52,120
It's almost as if she's out to prove
to everyone, maybe even herself,

1306
01:24:52,187 --> 01:24:54,522
just how good she is.

1307
01:24:54,589 --> 01:24:58,593
But the same can be said
for Chelsea Green, looking to silence

1308
01:24:58,660 --> 01:25:00,628
some of her own doubters here tonight.

1309
01:25:00,695 --> 01:25:05,033
[Book] Vic, when everybody's doubting you,
the only person you can count on is you.

1310
01:25:05,099 --> 01:25:07,335
-The only person you…
-That's some dropkick!

1311
01:25:07,402 --> 01:25:11,940
-[Book] Oh, wow. Perfect precision.
-[Vic] Is Perez out?

1312
01:25:12,140 --> 01:25:16,177
-[Book] This is it.
-[Vic] Green into the cover and another

1313
01:25:16,744 --> 01:25:20,715
-near fall.
-The resilience of Roxanne Perez.

1314
01:25:20,782 --> 01:25:24,486
It's not going to be that easy
tonight for Chelsea Green, man.

1315
01:25:24,886 --> 01:25:30,125
Chelsea Green in disbelief with everything
she has thrown at the Prodigy tonight

1316
01:25:30,758 --> 01:25:34,395
[Book] Just wasted
about a valuable good 10 to 15 seconds.

1317
01:25:34,462 --> 01:25:39,901
[Vic] Now she's trying to navigate
the champion around. She does, but…

1318
01:25:39,968 --> 01:25:42,504
Ooh, Perez, nice counter.
Right to the midsection.

1319
01:25:42,570 --> 01:25:46,908
Looking for Pop Rock's counter, though
by Green. Chelsea coming right back in.

1320
01:25:46,975 --> 01:25:50,078
Into the cover, shoulders down,
center of the ring.

1321
01:25:51,146 --> 01:25:55,250
Last moment. Another near fall.
Quick counter again by Green.

1322
01:25:55,316 --> 01:25:58,086
-Shoulders down and a kick out.
-Wow, what a combination.

1323
01:25:58,152 --> 01:26:01,689
What a back and forth battle
we're having here in this main event.

1324
01:26:01,756 --> 01:26:04,259
[Vic] What a main event. Oh, and over.

1325
01:26:05,126 --> 01:26:10,532
Didn't get all the Pop Rocks,
but got enough to retain her title.

1326
01:26:10,598 --> 01:26:17,605
[announcer] Here is your winner
and still the NXT women's champion.

1327
01:26:17,872 --> 01:26:20,975
Roxanne Perez!

1328
01:26:21,376 --> 01:26:25,313
[Vic] What a main event here tonight,

1329
01:26:26,648 --> 01:26:32,921
and in the end, it is the Prodigy
continuing to prove her point

1330
01:26:32,987 --> 01:26:36,591
that she is the best in NXT.
This is early on in the match,

1331
01:26:36,658 --> 01:26:38,159
a missile drop kick.

1332
01:26:38,226 --> 01:26:42,997
That left boot caught the Prodigy,
Roxanne Perez, right under the jaw.

1333
01:26:43,064 --> 01:26:45,466
Perez able to fight back in this match up.

1334
01:26:45,533 --> 01:26:47,268
Counter hit, pop rocks.

1335
01:26:47,335 --> 01:26:54,008
It wasn't perfect, but it was enough
for Roxanne Perez to retain her title,

1336
01:26:54,075 --> 01:26:56,244
to retain her championship.

1337
01:26:56,311 --> 01:27:03,318
Roxanne Perez continues to prove
she is the measuring stick in NXT.

1338
01:27:10,091 --> 01:27:12,260
[male voice] Come on, Larry.

1339
01:27:13,461 --> 01:27:15,196
[indistinct]

1340
01:27:16,297 --> 01:27:19,233
You think you're control, Charlie?
You think you're control?

1341
01:27:19,300 --> 01:27:21,836
How about that catch clause now,
Sir Charles?

1342
01:27:22,203 --> 01:27:23,504
Come on, let's go.

1343
01:27:48,429 --> 01:27:49,364
Subtitles: Alejandro Carbajal

Sir Charles?
