1
00:00:03,737 --> 00:00:04,738
[announcer] Then…

2
00:00:08,208 --> 00:00:09,209
now…

3
00:00:14,214 --> 00:00:15,215
forever…

4
00:00:23,590 --> 00:00:24,591
together.

5
00:00:32,132 --> 00:00:32,932
NXT - LAST TUESDAY

6
00:00:32,999 --> 00:00:35,935
[Vic] It was absolute
chaos to start the night.

7
00:00:36,002 --> 00:00:37,937
Noam Dar was attacked.

8
00:00:38,772 --> 00:00:41,708
Excuse me. Je'von,
did you attack Noam Dar?

9
00:00:41,775 --> 00:00:43,143
I don't know who attacked him.

10
00:00:43,209 --> 00:00:46,546
What I do know is your boy
going against or miss next.

11
00:00:46,613 --> 00:00:49,983
It's about to get real
wicked and real bouncy.

12
00:00:52,218 --> 00:00:57,290
Jakarta's tracking the official.
What's Lash doing? Lash with the chair!

13
00:00:57,557 --> 00:00:58,758
Trick Willie!

14
00:01:01,194 --> 00:01:03,329
Hold it in the road!

15
00:01:05,231 --> 00:01:08,101
-Big win for Evans tonight.
-[bell ringing]

16
00:01:09,869 --> 00:01:10,703
NXT - LAST TUESDAY

17
00:01:10,770 --> 00:01:13,907
-Lola Vice, Shayna Baszler.
-All I know is dominance.

18
00:01:13,973 --> 00:01:18,445
I held the NXT women's title more
total days than anyone in history.

19
00:01:18,511 --> 00:01:23,116
And when I become NXT women's champion,
I'm gonna break every record in the book.

20
00:01:23,183 --> 00:01:23,983
-[bell rings]
-[crowd booing]

21
00:01:25,385 --> 00:01:26,686
[Vic] Oh, come on.

22
00:01:27,787 --> 00:01:30,957
Booker, it's The BOAT. It's Petrovic.

23
00:01:31,257 --> 00:01:34,894
These four women have been
on a collision course.

24
00:01:34,961 --> 00:01:36,663
You know what? Let's finish this.

25
00:01:36,729 --> 00:01:40,633
You two against us in a tag match.
Make it happen.

26
00:01:43,136 --> 00:01:43,937
NXT - LAST TUESDAY

27
00:01:44,003 --> 00:01:48,208
Everyone knows how much that NXT North
America Championship means to me, right?

28
00:01:48,274 --> 00:01:52,846
I was in one of the darkest times of my
life. But I was focused on one goal.

29
00:01:52,912 --> 00:01:55,582
To get back here.

30
00:01:55,815 --> 00:01:57,750
[Vic] The champ, Oba Femi!

31
00:01:57,817 --> 00:02:01,521
Wes, prove that you
deserve an opportunity

32
00:02:01,588 --> 00:02:04,724
for this title that was once yours.

33
00:02:05,425 --> 00:02:09,195
[Ivar] Wes Lee, I went through all
the same things you did.

34
00:02:09,262 --> 00:02:14,334
So you want a shot at Oba?
I want a shot at Oba.

35
00:02:14,501 --> 00:02:19,506
Wes, Ivar, you guys are
all just so emotional.

36
00:02:19,806 --> 00:02:24,611
Oba, we both know how close
I was to taking that title.

37
00:02:24,777 --> 00:02:27,480
[Oba] All of you have
very compelling arguments.

38
00:02:27,680 --> 00:02:29,182
Fight among yourselves.

39
00:02:29,382 --> 00:02:33,052
The winner will get an
opportunity against me.

40
00:02:36,256 --> 00:02:37,090
NXT - LAST TUESDAY

41
00:02:37,156 --> 00:02:37,991
[Vic] It is main event time.

42
00:02:38,057 --> 00:02:41,494
It's the Don. It's Dempsey.
It's for the Heritage Cup.

43
00:02:41,661 --> 00:02:47,400
Six three minute rounds. Two out of three
falls. The Don smells blood in the water.

44
00:02:47,467 --> 00:02:49,469
-And oh, the first ball.
-[Booker] Wow.

45
00:02:49,536 --> 00:02:51,938
[Vic] Dempsey focusing on that elbow.

46
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:54,207
Get the Don. Hold on.

47
00:02:54,807 --> 00:02:57,744
Dempsey ties it at one.

48
00:02:58,778 --> 00:03:01,214
The next decision wins the Cup.

49
00:03:01,381 --> 00:03:05,685
Hey, that's Damon Kemp and Myles Borne.
See ya later!

50
00:03:06,753 --> 00:03:08,955
Forget about it. Keep him in cover!

51
00:03:09,722 --> 00:03:10,590
-[crowd] Three!
-[bell rings]

52
00:03:10,657 --> 00:03:12,892
[Vic] We got a new champion.

53
00:03:13,626 --> 00:03:19,065
The Don makes Dempsey pay.
Here to-- Wait. Wait, what?

54
00:03:20,166 --> 00:03:21,267
What's going on?

55
00:03:21,634 --> 00:03:23,102
Booker, what's happening?

56
00:03:24,971 --> 00:03:30,009
Surprise, surprise! Did you miss us?
This is just the start, boy!

57
00:03:35,682 --> 00:03:36,916
[college football fanfare]

58
00:03:36,983 --> 00:03:41,254
[Vic] After the events of last
week, expect the unexpected tonight.

59
00:03:41,321 --> 00:03:43,656
Welcome to NXT.

60
00:03:43,723 --> 00:03:44,924
[crowd cheering]

61
00:03:48,928 --> 00:03:49,729
[bell rings]

62
00:03:49,796 --> 00:03:50,597
THEA HAIL

63
00:03:50,663 --> 00:03:51,831
[Mike Rome] The following

64
00:03:51,898 --> 00:03:58,238
is an NXT Women's North American
Championship qualifier.

65
00:03:58,304 --> 00:04:00,073
We're getting that! [screams]

66
00:04:00,139 --> 00:04:05,645
[Mike Rome] Introducing first, accompanied
by Ridge Holland and Chase U,

67
00:04:05,945 --> 00:04:10,049
Thea Hail!

68
00:04:10,116 --> 00:04:13,753
[Vic] That's Thea Hail,
who scored an impressive 93.

69
00:04:13,820 --> 00:04:19,158
That's good for second at the combine.
But now she needs to defeat a familiar

70
00:04:19,225 --> 00:04:25,598
face to punch her ticket to Las Vegas
and her opportunity to make history.

71
00:04:33,940 --> 00:04:36,943
-[rock music]
-[crowd booing]

72
00:04:40,380 --> 00:04:45,084
[Mike Rome]
And her opponent, Fallon Henley.

73
00:04:45,318 --> 00:04:46,119
FALLON HENLEY

74
00:04:46,185 --> 00:04:48,888
[Vic] I don't know if you could
read lips, what Fallon Henley just said.

75
00:04:48,955 --> 00:04:53,626
[Booker] Yeah, I can read. She said, "You
can kiss where the sun don't shine."

76
00:04:53,693 --> 00:04:55,895
-I think that's what she said.
-[Vic] That is exactly what she said.

77
00:04:55,995 --> 00:04:57,030
In not as many words.

78
00:04:57,096 --> 00:05:01,901
And on a scale of 1 to 10, and I already
hate myself for asking this.

79
00:05:01,968 --> 00:05:05,271
How much do you like this
selfish side of Fallon?

80
00:05:05,338 --> 00:05:09,776
[Booker] On a scale of one to ten?
A ten without any shadow of a doubt.

81
00:05:09,842 --> 00:05:12,945
How many times have I said it?
Big attitude, aggression.

82
00:05:13,012 --> 00:05:15,882
It's everything.
And now Fallon Henley gets it.

83
00:05:15,948 --> 00:05:19,419
You know why? Kiana James. The draft.

84
00:05:19,485 --> 00:05:23,823
The draft. Hey, it's about making money.
It's not about making friends.

85
00:05:24,524 --> 00:05:26,559
[Vic] Well, there will be
no love loss in this matchup,

86
00:05:26,626 --> 00:05:28,361
because it was Fallon Henley

87
00:05:28,428 --> 00:05:30,563
who dropped Thea Hail with a right hand

88
00:05:30,630 --> 00:05:32,432
after Hail's match
several weeks ago, really,

89
00:05:32,498 --> 00:05:36,235
when that selfish side started
to boil out of Fallon Henley.

90
00:05:36,302 --> 00:05:38,971
[Booker] As well as Fallon don't want to
be sticking that arm out like that

91
00:05:39,038 --> 00:05:40,373
with Hail…

92
00:05:40,606 --> 00:05:42,408
[Vic laughs] That's a good point, Booker.

93
00:05:43,409 --> 00:05:45,111
We got a grip right off in a hurry.

94
00:05:45,178 --> 00:05:49,148
And you see Chase U on the outside
here for Thea Hail and her big matchup.

95
00:05:49,215 --> 00:05:54,220
Including Ridge Holland, who could really
become a difference maker for Chase.

96
00:05:54,287 --> 00:05:56,656
-[Booker] Do you trust him?
-[Vic] Yes, but that's just me.

97
00:05:56,723 --> 00:05:58,224
Yes, yes I trust him.

98
00:05:58,291 --> 00:06:00,560
[Booker] No, but the question is,
can you trust him?

99
00:06:00,626 --> 00:06:02,929
[Vic] Well, I mean, I believe you can.

100
00:06:02,995 --> 00:06:06,766
But time will tell. Off the moonsault into
the cover, and a kick out.

101
00:06:06,833 --> 00:06:11,604
And Thea Hail, she doesn't even recognize
Fallon Henley anymore.

102
00:06:11,671 --> 00:06:15,641
Doesn't even recognize the woman that was
once her friend over the last few months,

103
00:06:15,708 --> 00:06:16,776
who guided her.

104
00:06:16,843 --> 00:06:19,312
[Booker] How many times have I told you
to stay out of the locker room?

105
00:06:19,378 --> 00:06:21,714
Stay out of the locker room.
This is a business, Vic.

106
00:06:21,781 --> 00:06:24,650
-This is a business Fallon has realized.
-[Vic] Cover to qualify.

107
00:06:24,717 --> 00:06:28,221
And another kick out.
This time by Thea Hail.

108
00:06:28,287 --> 00:06:30,823
We talk about Rich Howland.
He's been encouraging to Thea.

109
00:06:30,890 --> 00:06:33,926
For those who qualify, one of these two
will go to Vegas.

110
00:06:33,993 --> 00:06:38,264
For those who qualify, what does
battleground mean to them with that

111
00:06:38,331 --> 00:06:39,832
-chance to make history?
-[Booker] Good.

112
00:06:39,899 --> 00:06:41,634
I think we've talked about several times.

113
00:06:41,701 --> 00:06:45,671
But this remaking moment is something
that's just that, it's a moment.

114
00:06:45,738 --> 00:06:48,508
It could be there and gone.
Just like that.

115
00:06:48,574 --> 00:06:51,511
[Vic] Sol Ruca, last legend.
They're headed to Vegas.

116
00:06:51,577 --> 00:06:54,514
Brinley, Reece, Parker. Still to come.

117
00:06:55,114 --> 00:06:58,584
Six women, by the way, Book,
will compete in that ladder match.

118
00:06:58,651 --> 00:07:03,956
One will become the first ever
North American women's champion.

119
00:07:04,023 --> 00:07:06,392
[Booker laughs] Oh, yeah,
I can't wait to get to Vegas.

120
00:07:06,459 --> 00:07:09,962
I can't wait to get to the apex.
It's gonna be good.

121
00:07:10,029 --> 00:07:13,599
[Vic] It's Fallon Henley right now trying
to bend back the arm of Thea Hail.

122
00:07:13,699 --> 00:07:16,135
Fallon Henley trying to wear down

123
00:07:16,769 --> 00:07:18,538
her former friend, her former partner.

124
00:07:18,604 --> 00:07:22,141
And these two were close,
much like Fallon and Kalani Jordan.

125
00:07:22,208 --> 00:07:24,677
We saw how that played out
two weeks ago, Book.

126
00:07:24,744 --> 00:07:26,012
[Booker] There's gonna be
plenty of time to be

127
00:07:26,078 --> 00:07:28,748
close when this career thing
is all over with.

128
00:07:28,815 --> 00:07:31,217
Right now, it's about making history.

129
00:07:31,417 --> 00:07:35,455
[Vic] Thea Hail picking up some steam.
Nice arm drag. Coming right back.

130
00:07:35,521 --> 00:07:38,224
Going to look for a second one.
Variation of sorts.

131
00:07:38,291 --> 00:07:41,060
And it's Hail now who is rolling.

132
00:07:41,894 --> 00:07:48,134
Thea looking for high risk. Wiping out
Fallon Henley and then not stopping.

133
00:07:48,234 --> 00:07:51,404
Continuing to fire, continuing to punish.

134
00:07:51,471 --> 00:07:54,574
She knows just how bad
she wants to be champion.

135
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:56,909
She wants to make history. She-- Oh!

136
00:07:56,976 --> 00:07:58,110
[Booker] Whoa!

137
00:07:58,177 --> 00:07:59,912
[Vic] She wants to prove
Fallon Henley wrong.

138
00:07:59,979 --> 00:08:02,782
And right back on top.
Look at the tenacious--

139
00:08:02,849 --> 00:08:06,886
Thea Hail just got kicked
right in the face.

140
00:08:09,255 --> 00:08:12,024
And Fallon, is she
running away from Thea?

141
00:08:14,093 --> 00:08:17,230
Right in front of Chase? Hey, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa. I mean, why would…

142
00:08:20,700 --> 00:08:22,568
What's the point of the steel chair?

143
00:08:22,768 --> 00:08:24,403
Nice job by Ridge.

144
00:08:25,771 --> 00:08:27,240
[indistinct argument]

145
00:08:32,912 --> 00:08:34,380
[Vic] Wait a minute.
Wait a minute. No, no, no.

146
00:08:34,447 --> 00:08:38,885
Wait a minute. The official just
tossed out everyone from Chase U.

147
00:08:38,951 --> 00:08:39,819
[crowd booing]

148
00:08:39,886 --> 00:08:43,389
[Vic] Who's headed to Vegas,
Fallon or Thea?

149
00:08:45,191 --> 00:08:46,893
She was gonna use it, man!

150
00:08:53,332 --> 00:08:55,401
[Vic] Back on NXT.
Who is headed to Battleground?

151
00:08:55,468 --> 00:08:57,503
Who is headed to Las Vegas?

152
00:08:57,570 --> 00:08:59,705
Could it be Fallon Henley
looking for the three?

153
00:08:59,772 --> 00:09:02,441
Thea Hail just getting
that left shoulder out.

154
00:09:02,508 --> 00:09:07,280
This is a qualifying match for the NXT
Women's North American Championship.

155
00:09:07,346 --> 00:09:09,916
Ladder match. Two women have advanced.

156
00:09:09,982 --> 00:09:12,685
Two more will advance tonight
as right here

157
00:09:12,752 --> 00:09:16,889
Fallon Henley was a half second
from punching her ticket.

158
00:09:16,956 --> 00:09:20,159
I still, Booker, just… I don't believe

159
00:09:20,359 --> 00:09:24,630
that Fallon has become this sort
of superstar, this sort of woman.

160
00:09:24,697 --> 00:09:27,733
-[crowd chanting]
-[Booker] This is a selfish business, Vic,

161
00:09:27,800 --> 00:09:29,936
and that's nothing against anybody.

162
00:09:30,002 --> 00:09:33,372
I mean, but if you want to make it to the
topic, if you want to make history…

163
00:09:33,439 --> 00:09:35,207
-[Vic] Oh!
-[Booker] If you want to leave a legacy,

164
00:09:35,274 --> 00:09:36,909
you got to have that.

165
00:09:37,076 --> 00:09:40,913
[Vic] Well, both women have the same idea.
Just laid the other out.

166
00:09:40,980 --> 00:09:45,384
-This is a crucial point in this matchup.
-[Booker] See the matchup right now, too.

167
00:09:45,451 --> 00:09:48,187
No cheerleading. One on one. I like that.

168
00:09:48,254 --> 00:09:51,490
[Vic] This the first of two
qualifying matches.

169
00:09:51,557 --> 00:09:54,460
You can see Reece-Parker
still to come tonight.

170
00:09:54,527 --> 00:09:58,731
By the end of the night, four of those six
spots will be selected.

171
00:09:58,798 --> 00:09:59,832
[Booker] Can you tell me something?

172
00:09:59,999 --> 00:10:02,535
What do you think he was going to
do with that chair? What do you think?

173
00:10:02,602 --> 00:10:03,569
What do you think he was going to do?

174
00:10:03,636 --> 00:10:04,971
[Vic] He wasn't doing anything
with the chair.

175
00:10:05,037 --> 00:10:06,372
He was gonna get the chair out
because Fallon Henley

176
00:10:06,439 --> 00:10:08,774
decided to introduce it into the matchup.

177
00:10:08,841 --> 00:10:09,976
[Booker] Are you sure about that?

178
00:10:10,443 --> 00:10:12,878
[crowd cheering]

179
00:10:12,945 --> 00:10:14,447
[Vic] Sometimes I wonder, Booker.

180
00:10:14,513 --> 00:10:18,317
Oh, and look at Thea Hail coming back
with some Putskies.

181
00:10:18,484 --> 00:10:23,589
Thea Hail's rocking right now. Thea Hail
had Chase U sent to the back

182
00:10:23,656 --> 00:10:26,659
by the official for the aforementioned
chair that you were talking about, Booker.

183
00:10:26,726 --> 00:10:29,895
-She's out here on her own.
-[Booker] Call the Polish Hammer, Vic.

184
00:10:29,962 --> 00:10:33,933
-The Polish Hammer.
-[Vic] Looking for a big slam.

185
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:37,370
And that's the world's smallest slam.
Rolling right through.

186
00:10:37,436 --> 00:10:39,305
[screams]

187
00:10:39,372 --> 00:10:42,775
[Vic] A little extra spring in her step
here tonight

188
00:10:42,842 --> 00:10:48,514
to head to Sin City in another near fall
in this matchup.

189
00:10:48,581 --> 00:10:50,616
[Booker] I tell you, Thea Hail, she's…

190
00:10:50,683 --> 00:10:54,053
She's something to handle
when she's focused, Vic.

191
00:10:54,120 --> 00:10:57,790
And I wonder if she's focused
without Chase U at her side.

192
00:10:58,124 --> 00:11:01,093
[Vic] Oh, she has it, she has
the Chase U student section.

193
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:04,230
She has the NXT universe
here to rally her.

194
00:11:04,296 --> 00:11:07,733
But for Fallon Henley, she just put
a stop to Thea Hail for a moment.

195
00:11:07,800 --> 00:11:09,568
Hail coming right back in.

196
00:11:11,570 --> 00:11:15,374
What is on the mind of Thea Hail?

197
00:11:15,441 --> 00:11:16,876
[crowd chanting] Thea!

198
00:11:16,942 --> 00:11:19,879
[Vic] Thea trying to muscle up
Fallon Henley.

199
00:11:20,813 --> 00:11:23,883
Fallon going right to the body,
creating a little bit of separation.

200
00:11:25,785 --> 00:11:27,853
Fallon who's putting herself first,

201
00:11:27,920 --> 00:11:31,791
looking for some high impact
offense out of the corner.

202
00:11:31,857 --> 00:11:34,126
-[Booker] Oh, baby!
-[Vic] And a knife. Oh, counter!

203
00:11:35,661 --> 00:11:38,297
Come on! Can she lock it in?

204
00:11:38,898 --> 00:11:40,266
Trying to lock in a submission.

205
00:11:40,332 --> 00:11:42,201
-And Fallon who has seen it…
-[Booker] Break the hold!

206
00:11:42,268 --> 00:11:44,470
[Vic] …time and time again
going to the outside.

207
00:11:44,537 --> 00:11:48,074
Doesn't need to break the hold.
Trying to hold on and…

208
00:11:48,140 --> 00:11:51,444
Well, she didn't need to,
but she certainly had to.

209
00:11:51,510 --> 00:11:54,313
Because Fallon Henley
using her environment.

210
00:11:54,513 --> 00:11:56,449
[crowd booing]

211
00:11:57,183 --> 00:11:59,852
[Vic] Look at the eyes of Thea Hail.

212
00:12:00,453 --> 00:12:01,420
[screams]

213
00:12:02,154 --> 00:12:04,223
[Vic] What's the saying
about a woman's scorn?

214
00:12:05,458 --> 00:12:07,059
Never mind. I don't want you to
get in trouble with your wife.

215
00:12:07,126 --> 00:12:09,929
Coming right back in.
Got caught under the jaw.

216
00:12:10,096 --> 00:12:13,199
-Into the cover, and Fallon Henley…
-[bell rings]

217
00:12:13,265 --> 00:12:17,169
-[crowd booing]
-…is now one step closer to history.

218
00:12:17,903 --> 00:12:21,841
[Mike Rome] Here's your winner,
Fallon Henley!

219
00:12:24,076 --> 00:12:28,547
[Vic] Go ahead, Book, tell me all about
why she needed to put herself first.

220
00:12:28,614 --> 00:12:34,687
Because she's now one step away from
making history and being the first NXT.

221
00:12:34,754 --> 00:12:37,523
[Booker] A shot at glory, Vic.
That's what it's all about.

222
00:12:37,590 --> 00:12:41,494
[Vic] And that was-- Wait a minute.
Booker, look up. Jasmine Nyx!

223
00:12:46,198 --> 00:12:49,602
-With that Pele kick.
-[Booker] Wow.

224
00:12:49,668 --> 00:12:51,370
-Look at Nyx.
-[crowd booing]

225
00:12:51,437 --> 00:12:54,140
[Vic] Well, we know what Jasmine Nyx
is all about.

226
00:12:54,907 --> 00:12:57,176
She's been looking for payback.

227
00:12:57,243 --> 00:13:00,312
-[Booker] Yeah, I think…
-[Vic] For Jacy Jayne.

228
00:13:02,681 --> 00:13:05,684
Talk about hottie and the biscottis
and all the cookies you want.

229
00:13:05,751 --> 00:13:07,887
What do you make of Jasmine Nyx

230
00:13:07,953 --> 00:13:12,291
-and what she just did support Thea Hail?
-Jasmine Nyx. I mean, look at her.

231
00:13:12,358 --> 00:13:13,759
I mean, that should tell
you the whole story, man.

232
00:13:13,826 --> 00:13:15,394
WWE HALL OF FAMER BOOKER T
VIC JOSEPH

233
00:13:15,461 --> 00:13:18,898
Put her in the game, sign her up.
That's what I'm saying.

234
00:13:18,964 --> 00:13:22,101
Well, she's in the game now,
but let's turn our attention

235
00:13:22,168 --> 00:13:24,537
to the NXT tag team champions who had

236
00:13:24,603 --> 00:13:28,274
quite an interaction early earlier
tonight with the family.

237
00:13:29,842 --> 00:13:30,676
NEXT - EARLIER TODAY

238
00:13:30,743 --> 00:13:31,577
You did it, T.

239
00:13:31,644 --> 00:13:34,713
-Congrats.
-Thanks. A little heavy but it looks good.

240
00:13:35,481 --> 00:13:37,249
-Ah!
-Whoa.

241
00:13:37,316 --> 00:13:40,886
Tony G. Hey, congrats on winning
the Heritage Cup, my friend.

242
00:13:40,953 --> 00:13:41,854
Thank you.

243
00:13:41,921 --> 00:13:43,255
Yeah, I saw your name on here.

244
00:13:43,322 --> 00:13:45,090
Yeah. I'll be honest,
when I won that cup,

245
00:13:45,524 --> 00:13:47,726
it was one of the best
nights of my entire life.

246
00:13:48,093 --> 00:13:51,430
-Hey, actually. Was your name on here?
-[Axiom] No, actually, I never…

247
00:13:51,497 --> 00:13:56,202
Hey, look. You got Charlie, Tyler, A-Kid.
Anyone heard from him?

248
00:13:56,268 --> 00:13:57,403
He couldn't have been that brave

249
00:13:57,469 --> 00:13:59,738
if the only name
he could come up with was A-Kid.

250
00:14:03,576 --> 00:14:05,377
-He's funny.
-He's very funny.

251
00:14:05,444 --> 00:14:08,280
You guys got some guts,
taking on all comers.

252
00:14:08,347 --> 00:14:11,617
I don't know, T. Word
on the street is… Not my words,

253
00:14:11,784 --> 00:14:15,120
-these two have been ducking OC lately.
-[Axiom] Hey, we're not ducking anyone.

254
00:14:15,187 --> 00:14:18,657
And we're not bullied
into just handing out opportunities

255
00:14:18,724 --> 00:14:20,993
for the tag team titles
to main roster superstars.

256
00:14:21,060 --> 00:14:25,698
If anything, we'll hand
them out to NXT superstars.

257
00:14:25,865 --> 00:14:28,467
-What about me and Stacks, then?
-Yeah, you wouldn't want

258
00:14:28,534 --> 00:14:32,738
to duck a couple of NXT superstars
like Stacks and Luca, would you?

259
00:14:34,073 --> 00:14:35,074
Would you?

260
00:14:37,009 --> 00:14:37,843
-No.
-[Axiom] No.

261
00:14:37,910 --> 00:14:41,981
Yeah, you got your tag team
title match, and you got it tonight.

262
00:14:42,047 --> 00:14:42,848
Whoa.

263
00:14:42,915 --> 00:14:45,918
-All right. Come on, let's go prepare.
-All right. Tonight.

264
00:14:46,151 --> 00:14:47,286
-See you later.
-See you then.

265
00:14:47,353 --> 00:14:48,687
-Shine those up, boys.
-Let's go.

266
00:14:49,955 --> 00:14:51,090

269
00:15:04,069 --> 00:15:08,374
[Vic] The family has been walking around
very happy with themselves

270
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:10,242
after last week.

271
00:15:10,409 --> 00:15:13,579
Can they add more gold to the family?

272
00:15:13,913 --> 00:15:18,951
The NXT tag team titles
on the line, next on NXT.

273
00:15:23,222 --> 00:15:24,189
NXT - LAST TUESDAY

274
00:15:24,256 --> 00:15:25,090
[screaming]

275
00:15:25,157 --> 00:15:26,859
[Vic] Well, Booker,
let's go back to last week,

276
00:15:26,925 --> 00:15:29,295
where the NXT universe
was absolutely shocked

277
00:15:29,361 --> 00:15:32,364
with the return
of a trio of hooligans.

278
00:15:33,599 --> 00:15:35,567
You cannot stop us!

279
00:15:35,768 --> 00:15:37,136
That's what you get!

280
00:15:37,202 --> 00:15:40,873
Surprise, surprise!
Did you miss us? Look at that.

281
00:15:42,041 --> 00:15:46,578
This is just the start, boy! Job done.

282
00:15:47,546 --> 00:15:48,948
[Gallus screaming]

283
00:15:49,315 --> 00:15:50,215
[Vic] As you can see…

284
00:15:50,282 --> 00:15:51,216
BREAKING: AS A RESULT OF THE HEINOUS
ATTACK BY #GALLUS AT THE END

285
00:15:51,283 --> 00:15:52,084
OF #WWENXT, @IVAR_WWE
HAS SUFFERED AN INJURY

286
00:15:52,151 --> 00:15:52,952
AND WILL BE OUT OF ACTION INDEFINITELY.

287
00:15:53,018 --> 00:15:54,486
…an update has been provided
on social media,

288
00:15:54,553 --> 00:15:57,156
and due to that heinous attack,
Ivar is out indefinitely.

289
00:15:57,556 --> 00:15:58,590
As for the other two men in the attack…

290
00:15:58,657 --> 00:15:59,458
WES LEE - AYO @JOECOFFEY ATTACKING ME
MUST'VE HAD A PURPOSE.

291
00:15:59,525 --> 00:16:00,326
JUST BECAUSE I'M FOCUSED ON MY NORTH
AMERICAN TITLE DOESN'T MEAN

292
00:16:00,392 --> 00:16:01,126
I WON'T KNOCK YOU ACROSS YOUR THICK SKULL
@AVAWWE_ WHAT ARE THE CHANCES

293
00:16:01,193 --> 00:16:01,994
YOU CAN ADD HIM IN NEXT WEEK??
I'M SURE THE OTHERS WON'T MIND.

294
00:16:02,061 --> 00:16:03,862
Wes Lee and Josh Briggs wasted no time
firing back on social media,

295
00:16:03,929 --> 00:16:06,966
wanting to get their hands on Joe Coffey.

296
00:16:07,132 --> 00:16:08,567
[Josh Briggs] You know
I'm not letting this slide.

297
00:16:08,634 --> 00:16:09,468
AVA - APPARENTLY THIS IS A BIGGER ISSUE
THAN I THOUGHT #WWENXT

298
00:16:09,535 --> 00:16:13,572
So do us both a favor and put Joe Coffey
in the damn triple threat match.

299
00:16:14,740 --> 00:16:18,377
Whatever you want to do, Eva.
I don't care. You just tell me.

300
00:16:18,444 --> 00:16:21,480
I'll show up
and do my job as I've been doing.

301
00:16:22,181 --> 00:16:25,818
Because I don't answer to you.
I'm going to answer that final boss.

302
00:16:27,052 --> 00:16:28,187
[Vic] So our general manager, Ava…

303
00:16:28,253 --> 00:16:29,054
AVA - UM NO YOU ACTUALLY DO LISTEN TO ME.
THIS IS A DIFFERENT NXT THAN WHEN YOU

304
00:16:29,121 --> 00:16:29,888
LEFT MONTHS AGO - AND WITH THAT SAID,
BECAUSE BRIGGS AND WES KICK YOUR ASS,

305
00:16:29,955 --> 00:16:31,390
I'VE DECIDED TO ADD YOU TO THE TRIPLE
THREAT GOOD LUCK!! #WWENXT

306
00:16:31,457 --> 00:16:33,659
…reluctantly agreed to their request.
As for Joe Coffey, he's standing by

307
00:16:33,726 --> 00:16:35,260
with Kelly Kincaid.

308
00:16:38,430 --> 00:16:39,565
Gallus.

309
00:16:39,732 --> 00:16:40,532
GALLUS - KELLY KINCAID

310
00:16:40,599 --> 00:16:43,602
Quite the dramatic return for you to
NXT at the end of the show last week.

311
00:16:44,103 --> 00:16:46,305
Aye, aye, it was.

312
00:16:46,372 --> 00:16:51,443
But it seems like the only way you get
noticed is about making a bit of noise.

313
00:16:51,610 --> 00:16:53,212
And see, at the end of the show,

314
00:16:54,012 --> 00:16:56,582
I didn't hear them talking
about Trip Williams.

315
00:16:56,648 --> 00:16:57,816
-Nope.
-Did Don, Tony D'Angelo?

316
00:16:57,883 --> 00:17:00,986
-No. No.
-Je'von Evans? Noam Dar? No.

317
00:17:02,021 --> 00:17:04,423
It was all Gallus.

318
00:17:04,590 --> 00:17:08,861
Exactly how it should be.
We took it three at NXT's best.

319
00:17:09,695 --> 00:17:12,398
Ivar.
Enjoy your stay in the hospital, big man.

320
00:17:12,464 --> 00:17:15,067
Yeah, and Wes and Briggs,

321
00:17:15,667 --> 00:17:17,970
a lot tougher than we
first gave him credit for.

322
00:17:18,037 --> 00:17:20,239
Aye, but they're no smarter, eh?

323
00:17:20,305 --> 00:17:23,475
Do you know why that is, Wilfie?
Because they're all in Avon's ear.

324
00:17:23,542 --> 00:17:28,080
Talk, talk, talk, talkish. But see,
when I become the number one contender

325
00:17:28,147 --> 00:17:30,516
tonight for the North American title…

326

you're going to find out just how
dangerous Gallus are at Battleground.

328

-Well, that is over.
-Over.

338

[Vic] Booker,
you just have to respect the champions.

339
00:18:27,473 --> 00:18:30,309
Both put the titles
on the line here tonight

340
00:18:30,375 --> 00:18:33,712
against the underboss and Lucas Crusifino.

341
00:18:33,912 --> 00:18:38,217
[Booker] I mean, being brought Breaker
and Baron Corbin to win the championships

342
00:18:38,283 --> 00:18:40,018
as well as getting past AOP.

343
00:18:40,085 --> 00:18:44,923
Confidence should be through the
roof right now. Talking sky high.

344
00:18:45,290 --> 00:18:47,192
This is a team that earned

345
00:18:47,359 --> 00:18:52,998
this position, Vic, as well as being
the NXT Tag Team Champions.

346
00:18:55,300 --> 00:18:58,971

[Vic] Champions, confident.
Challengers, confident as well.

361
00:19:53,425 --> 00:19:56,962
You brought up the tag team division a
few times over the last several weeks.

362
00:19:57,029 --> 00:19:58,864
Are the champions starting to…

…feel the heat
with that bullseye on their back?

365
00:20:02,935 --> 00:20:04,670
-[Booker] You know…
-[Vic] I mean, you're one

366
00:20:04,736 --> 00:20:05,904
of the greatest tactics of all time.

367
00:20:05,971 --> 00:20:06,972
You're better than me.

368
00:20:07,039 --> 00:20:08,040
[Booker] They're always
going to feel the heat.

369
00:20:08,106 --> 00:20:10,309
But one thing
about Axiom and Frazer,

370
00:20:10,375 --> 00:20:13,779
these guys were awesome
as single competitors.

371
00:20:13,845 --> 00:20:17,216
But as a tag team, they are truly,
truly special.

372
00:20:17,282 --> 00:20:20,919
Inside that square circle, it's like
a mirror image of each other, Vic.

373
00:20:20,986 --> 00:20:23,021
[Vic] They were able to put
their differences, so to speak,

374
00:20:23,088 --> 00:20:24,890
aside, as they were always
the Achilles' heel

375
00:20:24,957 --> 00:20:27,292
to each other
throughout their entire careers,

376
00:20:27,359 --> 00:20:30,429
until they decided to come together
for one common goal.

377
00:20:30,495 --> 00:20:34,233
And that really started in the Dusty
Roads Tag Team Classic.

378
00:20:34,299 --> 00:20:37,569
It did lead them to the tag team titles,
as some tags were made.

379
00:20:37,636 --> 00:20:39,671
It's going to be Frazer
and it's going to be…

380
00:20:41,006 --> 00:20:42,674
the underboss. That being Stacks'

381
00:20:42,741 --> 00:20:45,811
-telling them to slow down.
-[Booker] That's not going to happen.

382
00:20:45,877 --> 00:20:48,380
[Vic chuckles] No, it's not. Take
a look at both of these teams.

383
00:20:48,447 --> 00:20:51,984
So how polar opposite are these two
squads? Because you heard Stacks.

384
00:20:52,050 --> 00:20:54,453
Slow it down. That's not the MO
of the tag team.

385
00:20:54,519 --> 00:20:56,121
[Booker] I mean, you've heard it
many, many times.

386
00:20:56,188 --> 00:20:58,991
Sports fight game, go styles, make fights.

387
00:20:59,057 --> 00:21:03,195
And you got two guys that's moving
around like a rocket at all times.

388
00:21:03,262 --> 00:21:05,964
And like Stacks said,
let's slow it down a little bit.

389
00:21:06,031 --> 00:21:09,101
Let's be a little more methodical
as far as the game goes.

390
00:21:09,167 --> 00:21:11,436
[Vic] It's been a big week for the family.

391
00:21:11,503 --> 00:21:15,574
To your right is the prestigious
Heritage Cup held by Tony D'Angelo

392
00:21:15,641 --> 00:21:17,042
up and over the champions.

393
00:21:17,109 --> 00:21:18,210
And it's the end of Axiom,

394
00:21:18,277 --> 00:21:21,146
Crusifino looking to add
the tag team goal off that deep

395
00:21:21,213 --> 00:21:25,050
cleaner into the cover to kick out.
And just how quick it could happen.

396
00:21:25,117 --> 00:21:26,418
We were a half second away, Booker,

397
00:21:26,485 --> 00:21:29,821
from new champions
being crowned here tonight.

398
00:21:29,888 --> 00:21:32,758
[Booker] Yeah, Crusifino and Stacks is
going to have to isolate their opponent,

399
00:21:32,824 --> 00:21:33,692
try to keep them grounded.

400
00:21:33,792 --> 00:21:35,794
But right now, I don't
think it's going to happen early.

401
00:21:36,662 --> 00:21:41,867
[Vic] It was the family last week vowed to
take the cup strong in their conviction.

402
00:21:42,167 --> 00:21:44,369
Could they do the same here tonight?

403
00:21:44,436 --> 00:21:48,440
But Axiom turning things around along
with Frazer, another quick tag was made.

404
00:21:48,507 --> 00:21:50,676
-[Booker] Talk about combos.
-[Vic] Yeah, talking about some combos.

405
00:21:50,742 --> 00:21:53,945
How special can this duo be
at being the champion?

406
00:21:54,012 --> 00:21:54,880
[Booker] No, no.

407
00:21:54,946 --> 00:21:57,382
We talk about tag teams and that
tag team pitch.

408
00:21:57,449 --> 00:21:59,685
[Vic] Holy crap. Look at the speed.

409
00:21:59,751 --> 00:22:02,688
[Booker] Very, very innovative.
That could be it.

410
00:22:02,754 --> 00:22:06,258
[Vic] Cover.
Retained. Stacks just able to kick out.

411
00:22:06,425 --> 00:22:07,592
And I gotta go back.

412
00:22:07,659 --> 00:22:10,162
I'd like to get a stopwatch out just to
see how fast

413
00:22:10,228 --> 00:22:13,265
Frazer was moving,
because the man moves like a blur.

414
00:22:13,331 --> 00:22:14,900
-He strikes like a cobra.
-[Booker] Yeah.

415
00:22:14,966 --> 00:22:18,537
I'm wondering how Luca feel on Stacks
going there, because that was a…

416
00:22:18,603 --> 00:22:21,973
A time where you got to get in there
and save your partner. That didn't happen.

417
00:22:22,741 --> 00:22:23,842
[Vic] Crusifino made the tag.

418
00:22:23,909 --> 00:22:27,179
It is Luca who is legal.
Frazer able to land on his feet.

419
00:22:27,245 --> 00:22:30,182
Creates a little separation.
Stacks just wiped him out!

420
00:22:30,248 --> 00:22:33,618
Almost into our laps.
Titles are on the line.

421
00:22:34,319 --> 00:22:39,524
Stacks looking down.
The underboss added insult to injury.

422
00:22:39,591 --> 00:22:43,862
Are we going to have new champions
crowned here tonight on NXT?

423
00:22:44,996 --> 00:22:46,798
That's what I'm talking about, baby!

424
00:22:49,134 --> 00:22:53,305
[Vic] it has been all Stacks and Crusifino
for the tag team titles…

425
00:22:53,371 --> 00:22:54,873
-[Booker] Wow.
-…here over the last few minutes.

426
00:22:54,940 --> 00:22:57,275
Underboss into the cover, broken leg.

427
00:22:57,342 --> 00:22:59,344
And Frazer somehow able to kick out.

428
00:22:59,411 --> 00:23:01,780
Could you imagine the Tag Team titles

429
00:23:01,847 --> 00:23:05,884
and the Heritage Cup in the grasp,
Booker, of the family?

430
00:23:05,951 --> 00:23:08,954
[Booker] I mean, you know, that's just
two pieces of gold, just two trinkets.

431
00:23:09,020 --> 00:23:12,290
I'm going tell you right now,
Tony D has bigger plans, Vic.

432
00:23:12,357 --> 00:23:14,960
And you know what that is, right?
You know what it is, right?

433
00:23:15,127 --> 00:23:17,996
-[Vic] He's looking ahead.
-[Booker] Exactly my point. The big goal.

434
00:23:18,063 --> 00:23:19,698
I'm talking about the number one spot.

435
00:23:19,765 --> 00:23:21,199
[Vic] And another cover
and another kick out.

436
00:23:21,266 --> 00:23:23,602
[Booker] Crusifino is definitely
unimpressing me as of late.

437
00:23:23,668 --> 00:23:26,938
I mean, this guy is not just a mouthpiece
or anything like that.

438
00:23:27,005 --> 00:23:29,674
He actually can get in the middle
of that ring and grind.

439
00:23:29,841 --> 00:23:32,611
[Vic] So now that you're saying nice
things about the family,

440
00:23:32,677 --> 00:23:34,446
can you finally admit

441
00:23:34,513 --> 00:23:37,149
that Dempsey deserved
what happened last week?

442
00:23:37,649 --> 00:23:41,486
Losing his Heritage cup to the Don
who came to collect?

443
00:23:41,553 --> 00:23:44,423
[Booker] Nobody deserves
to lose anything like, that big.

444
00:23:44,489 --> 00:23:49,394
I mean, Tony D was just the better man
on that night. I give props.

445
00:23:49,461 --> 00:23:51,530
What props are due. That's just me.

446
00:23:51,596 --> 00:23:53,465
[Vic] I gotta get props to Crusifino,

447
00:23:53,532 --> 00:23:55,400
who's able to overpower Nathan Frazer,
who's trying

448
00:23:55,467 --> 00:23:58,203
to make a tag as he desperately needs one.

449
00:23:58,270 --> 00:24:00,739
And the underboss swinging around.
Oh, got caught!

450
00:24:00,806 --> 00:24:03,875
And Frazer, now there's a gleam.
And well, that's a shot.

451
00:24:03,942 --> 00:24:05,410
Down real quick as Crusifino

452
00:24:05,477 --> 00:24:08,847
right to the midsection,
but up, over, catch, drop!

453
00:24:09,314 --> 00:24:11,550
-[Booker] Wow.
-[Vic] So much taken out of Frazer.

454
00:24:11,616 --> 00:24:13,385
Typically, he would get into the cover

455
00:24:13,452 --> 00:24:16,755
but right now he's worried
about making that tag.

456
00:24:16,822 --> 00:24:20,458
His body has absorbed so much punishment

457
00:24:20,525 --> 00:24:23,495
in this matchup, he's got to get to Axiom.

458
00:24:23,562 --> 00:24:26,565
And it's moves like this
that have made Frazer and Axiom

459
00:24:26,631 --> 00:24:28,967
the tag team champions as Axiom's legal.

460
00:24:29,034 --> 00:24:31,937
Axiom's in. And Axiom is flying.

461
00:24:32,003 --> 00:24:35,740
[Booker] Talking about speed.
This man right here. This man right here.

462
00:24:35,807 --> 00:24:40,812
Axiom truly is quick on his
feet right now. Hand ability.

463
00:24:40,879 --> 00:24:42,881
Hand ability thing. Here we go!

464
00:24:44,649 --> 00:24:45,684
[Vic] Uh-oh.

465
00:24:46,985 --> 00:24:49,988
-[Booker] Beautiful.
-[Vic] Wiping out the challengers.

466
00:24:50,055 --> 00:24:52,924
-It is all Axiom right now.
-[Booker] Look at the confidence.

467
00:24:52,991 --> 00:24:54,826
[Vic] I'm looking at Tony D
right here in front of us

468
00:24:54,893 --> 00:24:56,895
starting to sweat a little bit.

469
00:24:56,962 --> 00:24:59,831
Just holding on with Stacks.
Stacks now charging in.

470
00:24:59,898 --> 00:25:02,200
And he got caught. Half and half!

471
00:25:02,267 --> 00:25:06,304
Backs him into the cover, hook at the leg,
Crusifino nowhere to be found.

472
00:25:06,371 --> 00:25:10,208
And that was all Stacks Lorenzo
in that moment.

473
00:25:10,275 --> 00:25:13,044
[Booker] It was an instinctual
kick out right there by Stacks.

474
00:25:14,279 --> 00:25:18,750
[Vic] Rizzo trying to get Luca back
into the fight because Stacks

475
00:25:19,451 --> 00:25:22,888
-is falling. Listen to these kicks.
-[Booker laughs] Oh, yeah.

476
00:25:24,689 --> 00:25:29,728
[Vic] Oh, look at Frazer. Frazer is
a legal superstar. And super kick.

477
00:25:29,794 --> 00:25:34,032
Brain buster! Brain buster!
Cover title on the line at that time.

478
00:25:34,099 --> 00:25:37,235
Luca lucky enough to break up the count.

479
00:25:37,302 --> 00:25:38,637
[Booker] Luca was desperate right there.

480
00:25:38,703 --> 00:25:40,539
I'm going to tell you, if he hadn't made
that shot right there,

481
00:25:40,605 --> 00:25:43,408
that would have been a one, two, three.
This match would be over.

482
00:25:46,144 --> 00:25:47,145
[VIC] NXT…

483
00:25:47,812 --> 00:25:51,950
Tag Team Championships
on the line in this moment,

484
00:25:52,017 --> 00:25:57,222
we got a huge tag team main event
still to come. But Luca Crusifino

485
00:25:58,089 --> 00:26:00,191
-showing his worth.
-[Booker] Landed a big shot.

486
00:26:00,258 --> 00:26:02,160
-[Vic] To the family.
-[Booker] Yes, most definitely.

487
00:26:02,227 --> 00:26:04,663
Like I said, not just a mouthpiece, Vic.

488
00:26:06,164 --> 00:26:07,165
Wow!

489
00:26:07,832 --> 00:26:10,468
-Good night.
-[Vic] That could be the deciding factor.

490
00:26:10,535 --> 00:26:14,673
And there's Axiom, who popped
up at just the right moment.

491
00:26:14,739 --> 00:26:18,543
Things are breaking down.
I feel bad for the official.

492
00:26:18,710 --> 00:26:20,912
[Booker] Family's doing
pretty damn good right now.

493
00:26:20,979 --> 00:26:25,483
Looking to cash in
on the Tag Team Championships.

494
00:26:26,384 --> 00:26:29,554
[Vic] Nobody home for Stacks.
Right into that middle turnbuckle.

495
00:26:29,621 --> 00:26:32,924
And this is right now,
Axiom in Frazer's wheelhouse.

496
00:26:33,291 --> 00:26:36,628
I said at the start of the night,
expect the unexpected.

497
00:26:36,695 --> 00:26:40,131
What are we going to see from
these four here in this moment,

498
00:26:40,198 --> 00:26:42,834
in this match with the titles on the line?

499
00:26:45,537 --> 00:26:49,407
-Stacks. Superplex!
-[Booker] Oh, baby!

500
00:26:50,041 --> 00:26:54,012
Crusifino got caught!
Super kick got Crusifino!

501
00:26:56,314 --> 00:26:57,315
[Booker] Wow!

502
00:26:59,017 --> 00:27:02,053
[Vic] Hey, wait a minute.
That's Myles Borne.

503
00:27:02,120 --> 00:27:06,391
And David Kemp. Charlie Dempsey.
No Quarter Catch Crew.

504
00:27:08,159 --> 00:27:09,394
Taking it out on the dime.

505
00:27:09,461 --> 00:27:12,797
Back in the rematch, continuing,
Frazer, inside cradle.

506
00:27:12,998 --> 00:27:15,367
-[bell ringing]
-Champions pull it out tonight.

507
00:27:16,001 --> 00:27:20,205
[Mike Rome] Here are your winners,
and still the NXT…

508
00:27:21,106 --> 00:27:23,408
-[Vic] Oh, this is a brawl.
-[Mike Rome] …tag team champions,

509
00:27:23,742 --> 00:27:27,646
Axiom and Nathan Frazer!

510
00:27:27,712 --> 00:27:29,514
[Vic] I don't mean to interrupt Mike Rome,

511
00:27:29,581 --> 00:27:31,950
but this has turned
into an absolute chaos.

512
00:27:32,017 --> 00:27:33,818
[Booker] Who pays?
Who's paying the bills now?

513
00:27:34,386 --> 00:27:39,891
[Vic] Not the way Axiom and Frazer
were hoping to retain, but nonetheless.

514
00:27:40,091 --> 00:27:42,260
Champions still. This, obviously.

515
00:27:42,327 --> 00:27:45,463
No doubt we can argue about it all
day. Turning point in the matchup.

516
00:27:45,530 --> 00:27:47,332
Out of nowhere came
the No Quarter Catch Crew

517
00:27:47,399 --> 00:27:49,868
going at the new Heritage Cup champion.

518
00:27:49,934 --> 00:27:52,837
Making them pay.
Yes, Booker, for what happened last week.

519
00:27:52,904 --> 00:27:54,572
But in the ring, off the distraction,

520
00:27:54,639 --> 00:27:57,542
it was Nathan Frazer
who made Stacks pay here tonight.

521
00:27:57,609 --> 00:28:00,011
As the champions celebrate here tonight.

522
00:28:00,078 --> 00:28:02,013
-What the hell?
-[Booker] Uh-oh!

523
00:28:02,080 --> 00:28:04,149
Not celebrating too long.

524
00:28:04,315 --> 00:28:05,884
Oh, my God, man.

525
00:28:05,950 --> 00:28:09,287
-This is a beat down.
-[Vic] The OC.

526
00:28:09,354 --> 00:28:10,688
[crowd booing]

527
00:28:10,755 --> 00:28:15,093
They have said the champions have
been ducking them for weeks.

528
00:28:18,830 --> 00:28:22,767
-Gallows, Anderson, killer.
-[Booker] Oh, baby.

529
00:28:24,202 --> 00:28:25,470
[Vic] The good brothers,

530
00:28:25,537 --> 00:28:30,375
focused on reminding the world how
dangerous and vicious they are,

531
00:28:30,442 --> 00:28:35,213
are focused on a piece of gold
they've never held, they've never won.

532
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:39,484
That being the NXT tag team titles.

533
00:28:39,551 --> 00:28:40,919
[crowd booing]

534
00:28:41,319 --> 00:28:42,954
So good. I mean, so good.

535
00:28:43,021 --> 00:28:45,023
I was so impressed watching you
in the combine.

536
00:28:45,090 --> 00:28:45,890
Thank you.

537
00:28:45,957 --> 00:28:47,992
Top three, vertical jump. Look,

538
00:28:48,059 --> 00:28:51,529
no doubt in my mind, soon everybody's
gonna be saying the name Layla Diggs.

539
00:28:51,596 --> 00:28:54,199
-But for real--
-Everybody's already saying the name

540
00:28:54,265 --> 00:28:57,335
Lexis King, my guy.

541
00:28:57,402 --> 00:28:58,503
Yeah, you can go now.

542
00:28:58,570 --> 00:29:00,071
-What?
-Look, you got it all wrong.

543
00:29:00,138 --> 00:29:03,007
You're trying to recruit
the next big superstar.

544
00:29:03,074 --> 00:29:05,810
But dude, Chelsea Green
wouldn't even reunite with you.

545
00:29:05,977 --> 00:29:07,378
You're stuck in a hole, man.

546
00:29:07,445 --> 00:29:11,082
And the only way you're gonna get
out of it is to hitch your wagon to me.

547
00:29:11,149 --> 00:29:13,384
Yeah, that'll happen over my dead body.

548
00:29:13,585 --> 00:29:14,486
[chuckles]

549
00:29:14,886 --> 00:29:17,489
Dead body?
Yeah, I know all about dead bodies

550
00:29:17,555 --> 00:29:21,860
because I've been walking over them
week after week and winning.

551
00:29:21,926 --> 00:29:25,497
I mean, I'm virtually undefeated,
Mr. Stone.

552
00:29:25,563 --> 00:29:27,732
Something you wouldn't
know anything about.

553
00:29:27,799 --> 00:29:29,768
You better watch what you say right now.

554
00:29:29,834 --> 00:29:32,070
-Ava.
-What's, what's going on here?

555
00:29:32,137 --> 00:29:33,538
Better get your man here.

556
00:29:33,605 --> 00:29:35,640
-I'm feeling a temperature.
-You are so annoying.

557
00:29:35,707 --> 00:29:36,875
I don't know how you don't see it.

558
00:29:36,941 --> 00:29:38,643
I don't see it.
And I don't think I'm annoying.

559
00:29:38,710 --> 00:29:39,611
So I'll see you later.

560
00:29:39,677 --> 00:29:43,915
Hey, I don't know where you're going so
fast because you have a match tonight.

561
00:29:43,982 --> 00:29:45,416
Oh, do I?

562
00:29:46,417 --> 00:29:48,019
-Get ready.
-Tell me more.

563
00:29:48,486 --> 00:29:51,556
Well, you'll find out who your opponent is
when you get in the ring.

564
00:29:54,058 --> 00:29:57,195
He needs to get his ass handed to him,
and I'm going to be the one to do it.

565
00:29:57,262 --> 00:30:00,365
I would love to, but remember,
the last time you stepped in the ring,

566
00:30:00,431 --> 00:30:01,432
it didn't go very well.

567
00:30:01,499 --> 00:30:03,735
But hey, that's okay,
because you know what?

568
00:30:03,802 --> 00:30:06,771
I will find the perfect
opponent for Lexis tonight.

569
00:30:06,838 --> 00:30:07,839
Don't worry.

570
00:30:08,339 --> 00:30:09,374
[sighs]

571
00:30:11,810 --> 00:30:14,345
[Vic] I just don't know
who Stone is going to find

572
00:30:14,412 --> 00:30:17,482
that's ready to compete here tonight.

573
00:30:22,053 --> 00:30:23,454
[intro music]

574
00:30:34,399 --> 00:30:40,338
[Mike Rome] Ladies and gentlemen,
please welcome the NXT…

575
00:30:40,405 --> 00:30:41,206
NXT NORTH AMERICAN CHAMPION
OBA FEMI

576
00:30:41,272 --> 00:30:44,309
…North American Champion,

577
00:30:44,375 --> 00:30:48,746
Oba Femi!

578
00:30:48,813 --> 00:30:51,216
[Vic] What we do know
is that three Superstars

579
00:30:51,282 --> 00:30:55,286
are about to compete for the right to
challenge the North American champion.

580
00:30:55,353 --> 00:30:58,823
Which of these three men
is headed to Battleground?

581
00:31:02,894 --> 00:31:05,463
I saw this coming. I saw it coming.

582
00:31:05,530 --> 00:31:07,932
Mr. Chase, how could you
not see this coming?

583
00:31:07,999 --> 00:31:09,534
Which is clearly a liability.

584
00:31:09,601 --> 00:31:11,035
Riley, you have to see the good in people.

585
00:31:11,102 --> 00:31:15,974
-The good in people? The good in people.
-Riley, respectfully, back off.

586
00:31:16,140 --> 00:31:19,277
I couldn't just stand there
and watch Thea get hit with a chair.

587
00:31:19,344 --> 00:31:23,815
And quite frankly, none of us could.
So I stepped in. I had to do something,

588
00:31:23,881 --> 00:31:26,251
You did something, though, didn't ya?

589
00:31:26,317 --> 00:31:29,420
You cost Thea the match.
A chance at making history.

590
00:31:29,487 --> 00:31:33,758
And to be honest, I'm sick
of all your excuses, mate.

591
00:31:33,825 --> 00:31:37,295
You cost us the match last week,
but I gave you the benefit of the doubt.

592
00:31:37,362 --> 00:31:41,466
Mistakes happen. No hard feelings.
And you stand there judging me?

593
00:31:41,532 --> 00:31:44,402
Damn right I'm judging you.
You know, you don't even belong here.

594
00:31:44,469 --> 00:31:45,837
-Belong where?
-You don't even belong in Chase U.

595
00:31:45,904 --> 00:31:47,338
Hold it. Hold It.

596
00:31:47,405 --> 00:31:49,841
I'm not gonna stand for this.
This isn't the time or the place.

597
00:31:49,908 --> 00:31:52,143
You want to settle it,
settle it in the ring.

598
00:31:52,310 --> 00:31:53,544
Sounds good to me.

599
00:31:58,116 --> 00:31:59,350
Not now, Duke.

600
00:32:02,620 --> 00:32:06,658
[Vic] Andre Chase, looking
for another teachable moment.

601
00:32:09,427 --> 00:32:10,795
[intro music]

602
00:32:13,998 --> 00:32:14,866
[bell ringing]

603
00:32:15,133 --> 00:32:19,837
[Mike Rome] The following contest
is a triple threat match

604
00:32:19,904 --> 00:32:21,906
scheduled for one fall.

605
00:32:22,307 --> 00:32:23,107
WES LEE

606
00:32:23,174 --> 00:32:26,110
Introducing first, Wes Lee!

607
00:32:27,178 --> 00:32:27,946
[Vic] Well, Booker,

608
00:32:28,046 --> 00:32:34,218
here is a man who has said he is
at his best when he is focused.

609
00:32:34,285 --> 00:32:39,724
And he is focused on getting
to Las Vegas, getting to the UFC Apex,

610
00:32:39,891 --> 00:32:44,963
getting the Battleground, and regaining
the North American championship.

611
00:32:45,029 --> 00:32:46,397
[Booker] I said it once,
I'll say it again,

612
00:32:46,464 --> 00:32:50,168
perhaps truly the greatest
North American champion,

613
00:32:50,234 --> 00:32:53,071
he's superhero-like.
This kid could do anything

614
00:32:53,137 --> 00:32:55,640
in the middle of that square circle.

615
00:33:01,980 --> 00:33:06,317
[Mike Rome] Next, Josh Briggs!

616
00:33:06,384 --> 00:33:12,090
NXT - JOSH BRIGGS

617
00:33:15,893 --> 00:33:17,428
[Booker] Oh, yeah.

618
00:33:29,607 --> 00:33:31,442
[Vic] Well, we see Lee, we see Briggs.

619
00:33:31,509 --> 00:33:35,847
They're two of the three superstars
competing in this matchup to become

620
00:33:35,913 --> 00:33:41,219
number one contender for the North
American Championship at Battleground,

621
00:33:41,386 --> 00:33:43,921
June 9th in Las Vegas,

622
00:33:44,622 --> 00:33:48,993
when they will meet our champion, who is
joining us here on commentary.

623
00:33:49,160 --> 00:33:51,529
I mean, Oba Femi.

624
00:33:52,864 --> 00:33:53,698
[Booker laughs]

625
00:33:53,765 --> 00:33:56,667
-Why are you laughing?
-Ain't nobody shaking your hand, man.

626
00:33:56,734 --> 00:34:00,471
It's the North American champ.
That's the ruler, that the conqueror.

627
00:34:00,872 --> 00:34:02,940
-It's Oba Femi, man.
-[Vic] I'll just stop trying.

628
00:34:08,746 --> 00:34:15,753
[Mike Rome] And their opponent,
representing Gallus, Joe Coffey!

629
00:34:16,387 --> 00:34:17,221
GALLUS
JOE COFFEY

630
00:34:17,288 --> 00:34:19,690
[Vic] Well, Gallus certainly
made an impact.

631
00:34:20,224 --> 00:34:24,729
Shocking the NXT universe,
changing the landscape, if you will, Book.

632
00:34:24,796 --> 00:34:28,366
Wiping out Wes Lee, Briggs, Ivar,

633
00:34:28,433 --> 00:34:32,103
Ivar, so brutalized,
unable to compete here tonight.

634
00:34:32,170 --> 00:34:34,405
Joe Coffee obviously taking his place.

635
00:34:34,472 --> 00:34:39,744
Something that Lee and Briggs were
okay with, when you take a look at it.

636
00:34:40,378 --> 00:34:44,782
-Joe Coffey, the wild card in this match.
-[Booker] Good to the last drop.

637
00:34:44,882 --> 00:34:48,786
That's my man, Joe Coffey.
Let's go back to 2023. New Year's Eve.

638
00:34:48,853 --> 00:34:51,622
Gallus boys showed up.
Within a month,

639
00:34:51,689 --> 00:34:57,328
they were tag team champions and ruling
NXT's tag team division. And guess what?

640
00:34:57,395 --> 00:35:00,364
-They're back.
-[Vic] Speaking of ruling, Mr. Femi,

641
00:35:00,431 --> 00:35:03,000
how much do you love
seeing these men fight?

642
00:35:03,067 --> 00:35:05,937
Not only to face you,
but to battle to compete

643
00:35:06,003 --> 00:35:10,374
for your North American championship
at Battleground.

644
00:35:10,441 --> 00:35:13,044
[Oba] Well, it's definitely
entertaining to see them

645
00:35:13,778 --> 00:35:15,947
fight each other like
dogs for this opportunity.

646
00:35:16,013 --> 00:35:19,217
It's a big opportunity for them,
so they have an opportunity

647
00:35:19,317 --> 00:35:21,152
to prove themselves right here, right now.

648
00:35:21,219 --> 00:35:24,655
[Vic] You see Wolfgang right now
and Mark Coffey trying to save Joe Coffey.

649
00:35:24,722 --> 00:35:28,526
But here is where Wes Lee and Josh Briggs,
at least for a moment, are going to be

650
00:35:28,593 --> 00:35:29,494
on the same page.

651
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:33,231
Josh Briggs is looking
for just that one big win, Vic,

652
00:35:33,297 --> 00:35:35,166
to take him to that next level.

653
00:35:35,233 --> 00:35:38,903
Endorsed by one future
Hall of Famer, JBL.

654
00:35:38,970 --> 00:35:41,339
[Vic] Certainly so, and we saw
Wes Lee get pushed away,

655
00:35:41,405 --> 00:35:43,541
and he saw the eyes
for a half second of Wes Lee.

656
00:35:43,608 --> 00:35:45,977
He'll be focused in this matchup.
As we talked about.

657
00:35:46,043 --> 00:35:49,447
But when you talk about Briggs, his
tolerance for others doesn't even last as

658
00:35:49,514 --> 00:35:51,816
-long as a piece of bazooka bubble gum.
-Excuse me,

659
00:35:52,917 --> 00:35:54,051
but you screwed it up, not me.

660
00:35:54,152 --> 00:35:55,786
I'm not the one that's
going to get a phone call.

661
00:35:55,853 --> 00:35:58,055
That's going to be you as Lee
going up and over Briggs,

662
00:35:58,122 --> 00:36:00,091
Briggs charging right back in.
It's not gonna work at first.

663
00:36:00,158 --> 00:36:01,392
You don't succeed, try again.

664
00:36:01,459 --> 00:36:05,863
But this time it's Briggs who
just uses Wes Lee as a weapon.

665
00:36:05,930 --> 00:36:07,064
[Booker] Last thing you want to try is

666
00:36:07,131 --> 00:36:09,467
a hip toss on somebody
like big Josh Briggs.

667
00:36:09,534 --> 00:36:11,669
Like I say, he's looking
for that ultimate moment.

668
00:36:11,736 --> 00:36:13,337
Take him to that next level.

669
00:36:14,105 --> 00:36:16,374
[Vic] We talk about three men
fighting for this matchup.

670
00:36:16,440 --> 00:36:20,378
And there was a JBL-esque fall away slam
with the help of Joe Coffey.

671
00:36:20,444 --> 00:36:22,513
Love to get your thoughts, Oba, on the,

672
00:36:22,580 --> 00:36:25,550
I guess you call the leader
of Gallus, Joe Coffey.

673
00:36:25,850 --> 00:36:28,819
[Oba] The thing about Joe Coffee
is that he's a very seasoned fighter.

674
00:36:28,886 --> 00:36:31,989
If you look in his eyes,
he has that thousand yard stare.

675
00:36:32,056 --> 00:36:34,125
He's been through some things.
He's a real fighter.

676
00:36:34,192 --> 00:36:36,360
Into the cover to head to battleground

677
00:36:36,427 --> 00:36:37,962
and kick out.
I didn't mean to interrupt you.

678
00:36:38,029 --> 00:36:39,730
I didn't mean to interrupt you. I'm sorry.

679
00:36:39,931 --> 00:36:42,567
[Oba] Be careful doing that.
Very astute, very careful.

680
00:36:42,733 --> 00:36:46,070
[Booker] You know, you know your business,
man. I see you've been studying.

681
00:36:46,137 --> 00:36:47,205
[Oba] Yes, I have.

682
00:36:47,371 --> 00:36:51,509
[Booker] Which one of these guys would you
rather take on for the championship?

683
00:36:51,576 --> 00:36:54,345
[Oba] I feel like the result
is very inconsequential.

684
00:36:54,412 --> 00:36:58,349
It doesn't matter who it is.
Look at Wes Lee now. Look at him.

685
00:36:58,416 --> 00:37:03,721
[Vic] Well, Wes Lee throwing caution
to the wind, wiping out Joe Coffey.

686
00:37:04,055 --> 00:37:07,525
[Oba] That's exactly what I'm talking
about. See, Wes is a fighter.

687
00:37:07,592 --> 00:37:09,193
He's not…

688
00:37:09,260 --> 00:37:11,262
It's not about the size
of the dog in the fight,

689
00:37:11,329 --> 00:37:13,297
it's about the size
of the fight in the dog.

690
00:37:13,364 --> 00:37:15,466
And West Wes Lee has
a lot of fight in his heart.

691
00:37:15,533 --> 00:37:17,501
[Booker] What do you think
about Wes Lee B. Casino?

692
00:37:17,568 --> 00:37:18,869
[Vic] Oh, no. Big boot.

693
00:37:18,936 --> 00:37:20,905
I don't know if that was a tooth
that just flew out of his mouth,

694
00:37:20,972 --> 00:37:22,240
but Wes Lee flying up

695
00:37:22,306 --> 00:37:25,042
Lee getting caught
and then getting planted.

696
00:37:25,109 --> 00:37:26,010
[Booker] Oh, that's that shot.

697
00:37:26,077 --> 00:37:29,113
[Vic] Josh Briggs,
and Briggs turning his attention.

698
00:37:29,180 --> 00:37:33,517
He's dropping Joe Coffey with a big back
body drop. Briggs is rolling all.

699
00:37:33,584 --> 00:37:37,989
Don't miss a second of the action in this
matchup. Who's headed to Battleground?

700
00:37:40,825 --> 00:37:43,094
[Vic] Back on NXT Triple Threat match

701
00:37:43,160 --> 00:37:46,897
to find out who will face
our champion Oba Femi

702
00:37:46,964 --> 00:37:50,167
at NXT Battleground in Vegas, June 9th.

703
00:37:50,234 --> 00:37:53,104
Femi to my left, he's joined us
on commentary.

704
00:37:53,170 --> 00:37:56,040
This has turned into a slugfest here
in the center of the ring

705
00:37:56,107 --> 00:37:59,377
with Briggs getting
the better right now of Joe Coffey

706
00:37:59,443 --> 00:38:00,478
who goes into the midsection.

707
00:38:00,544 --> 00:38:02,380
You gotta remember those ribs we saw
two weeks ago.

708
00:38:02,446 --> 00:38:04,048
Briggs still having lingering effects

709
00:38:04,115 --> 00:38:06,817
from standing liver
when he broke two ribs,

710
00:38:06,884 --> 00:38:09,487
but showing no effect now off the splash.

711
00:38:09,553 --> 00:38:14,925
But look at Wes Lee off the top to save
this matchup and his championship dreams.

712
00:38:14,992 --> 00:38:18,396
[Booker] Definitely getting back to
the championship position in this match.

713
00:38:18,462 --> 00:38:21,966
This one match could put him
right back on top of the world, Vic.

714
00:38:22,033 --> 00:38:25,469
[Vic] You see Briggs, you see Wes Lee

715
00:38:25,536 --> 00:38:29,674
as Oba Femi
with a sinister smile on his face.

716
00:38:29,740 --> 00:38:31,876
But it's Wes Lee
who's picking up right now.

717
00:38:31,942 --> 00:38:34,679
And Booker, it was Wes Lee who certainly
jumped right back

718
00:38:34,745 --> 00:38:37,081
into the fire when he returned.

719
00:38:37,148 --> 00:38:38,949
[Booker] Let's see. Oba Femi has a look
on his face every time

720
00:38:39,016 --> 00:38:41,886
I say Wes Lee could be considered perhaps

721
00:38:41,952 --> 00:38:44,889
the greatest North American
champion of all time.

722
00:38:44,955 --> 00:38:46,991
[Oba] I don't appreciate that.

723
00:38:47,358 --> 00:38:48,826
[Vic] That was Booker
that said it, not me.

724
00:38:48,893 --> 00:38:50,628
But this is Wes Lee who's doing it all.

725
00:38:50,695 --> 00:38:54,498
Into the cover trying to pin Briggs
in an air fall.

726
00:38:54,565 --> 00:38:58,436
Lee realizing it into the cover to try
to beat Coffey to head to Battleground.

727
00:38:58,502 --> 00:38:59,503
And another

728
00:39:00,204 --> 00:39:01,472
near fall.

729
00:39:02,206 --> 00:39:03,741
Take another look.

730
00:39:03,808 --> 00:39:06,877
Wes Lee, that two-for-one special.

731
00:39:07,044 --> 00:39:10,781
Wiping out the field,
but couldn't get the job done.

732
00:39:10,848 --> 00:39:14,218
And after the passion we heard last week
we've seen on social media,

733
00:39:14,285 --> 00:39:18,055
there's no doubt his respect and love
for professional wrestling.

734
00:39:18,122 --> 00:39:20,424
[Booker] I mean, Oba Femi, he said
something earlier,

735
00:39:20,491 --> 00:39:22,893
that Wes Lee is a fighter.

736
00:39:22,960 --> 00:39:24,829
I mean, this kid has no quit in him.

737
00:39:24,895 --> 00:39:29,800
And that's why I say he is considered to
be one of the best. Truly one of the best

738
00:39:30,601 --> 00:39:31,736
of all times.

739
00:39:31,902 --> 00:39:33,904
[Vic] Joe Coffey turning this
matchup around

740
00:39:33,971 --> 00:39:35,706
much like Gallus shook the landscape,

741
00:39:35,773 --> 00:39:39,477
reminding the locker room, Booker,
just how dangerous Gallus is.

742
00:39:39,543 --> 00:39:42,580
[Booker] Gallus boys just put
the locker room on notice.

743
00:39:42,747 --> 00:39:44,548
If I was in this tag team division,

744
00:39:44,615 --> 00:39:46,517
this is the team
that I would fear the most.

745
00:39:46,584 --> 00:39:47,618
That could be the knockout blow.

746
00:39:47,685 --> 00:39:50,721
What is Briggs waiting for?
Briggs knows he needs a little bit extra.

747
00:39:50,788 --> 00:39:53,624
He needs that exclamation point,
with Oba Femi

748
00:39:53,691 --> 00:39:56,360
watching ringside, he knows
he needs to do a little more.

749
00:39:56,427 --> 00:39:57,428
But there's Wes Lee.

750
00:39:57,495 --> 00:39:59,930
[Booker] Got caught by Wes Lee,
and we know what Wes Lee does.

751
00:39:59,997 --> 00:40:03,467
-His best work, Vic
-[Vic] Wes Lee all the way to the top.

752
00:40:03,634 --> 00:40:05,703
Joe Coffey back to his feet.

753
00:40:05,770 --> 00:40:10,007
I don't like the looks of this book,
but you know who does? Oba Femi.

754
00:40:10,074 --> 00:40:12,343
These three men destroying one another

755
00:40:12,410 --> 00:40:16,213
for the opportunity
to face Femi in Sin City.

756
00:40:16,580 --> 00:40:19,083
[Booker] Don't get no better than that.
Wes Lee going up!

757
00:40:19,150 --> 00:40:20,918
Oh, got caught.

758
00:40:20,985 --> 00:40:25,456
[Vic] Certainly did. And then got planted
into that top turnbuckle.

759
00:40:25,656 --> 00:40:29,460
And Briggs is taking this match over.

760
00:40:33,497 --> 00:40:35,433
[Booker] We always talk
about who needs it the most,

761
00:40:35,499 --> 00:40:37,568
and I must say, it's this man right here.

762
00:40:37,635 --> 00:40:41,639
Josh Briggs. He needs this match
more than any thing, Vic.

763
00:40:41,705 --> 00:40:45,109
-Oh, man.
-[Vic] That was a hell of a choke slam,

764
00:40:45,176 --> 00:40:48,646
double cover and a double kick out.

765
00:40:48,979 --> 00:40:52,249
Briggs almost stacked him here tonight.
And look, I'll ask you this.

766
00:40:52,316 --> 00:40:55,853
Would you be frustrated if you're Josh
Briggs thinking that people just continue

767
00:40:55,920 --> 00:40:58,088
to jump the line ahead of you for titles?

768
00:40:58,155 --> 00:40:58,956
[Booker] I would be.

769
00:40:59,023 --> 00:41:02,326
But it would be motivation
for matches just like this.

770
00:41:02,393 --> 00:41:07,131
When you got a window of opportunity
and it opens, you got to take it, Vic.

771
00:41:07,898 --> 00:41:09,767
[Vic] NXT universe rallying,
rising to their feet.

772
00:41:09,834 --> 00:41:10,901
[Booker] Good shot.

773
00:41:10,968 --> 00:41:13,804
[Vic] The smile continuing to grow
on Oba Femi's face.

774
00:41:13,871 --> 00:41:14,972
Oba, why are you smiling?

775
00:41:15,039 --> 00:41:17,508
You truly love to see
people destroy each other.

776
00:41:17,575 --> 00:41:18,375
[Booker] Oh, yeah!

777
00:41:18,442 --> 00:41:19,710
[Oba] Every single blow they've landed

778
00:41:19,777 --> 00:41:23,047
is just a guarantee for me
eventually, whoever I end up with,

779
00:41:23,113 --> 00:41:26,817
is not going to be at 100 percent.
And that just makes me glad.

780
00:41:26,884 --> 00:41:27,685
Look at Josh.

781
00:41:27,751 --> 00:41:30,688
I feel like Josh Briggs is one
of the more underestimated.

782
00:41:30,754 --> 00:41:35,426
[Vic] Oh! High cross body into the cover,
that took Oba's breath away.

783
00:41:35,493 --> 00:41:41,532
But Wes Lee was able to break up the count
to keep this match going.

784
00:41:41,599 --> 00:41:43,968
And one of these men will walk away

785
00:41:44,034 --> 00:41:46,270
out of this triple threat match
the number one contender.

786
00:41:46,337 --> 00:41:48,906
But there goes Joe Coffey trying to swing,
looking for the knockout blow.

787
00:41:48,973 --> 00:41:50,741
Lee answering back. Big kick to the chest.

788
00:41:50,808 --> 00:41:53,544
Lee bouncing up, bouncing back,
wiping out Coffey.

789
00:41:53,611 --> 00:41:54,979
[Booker] I mean,
that's like the third time

790
00:41:55,045 --> 00:41:57,047
Wes Lee has made the big save.

791
00:41:57,114 --> 00:41:59,016
Just letting me know
that he's got a strategy

792
00:41:59,083 --> 00:42:00,818
coming into this game tonight, Vic.

793
00:42:00,885 --> 00:42:02,820
[Vic] Joe Coffey stands by the statement.

794
00:42:02,887 --> 00:42:06,790
The only way to get noticed in NXT
is to make some noise!

795
00:42:06,857 --> 00:42:11,896
And that is exactly what Wes Lee is doing.
He's bringing the fight tonight. Hey!

796
00:42:13,531 --> 00:42:14,498
Right here in front of us.

797
00:42:14,565 --> 00:42:17,301
So, there's no disqualification
in a triple threat match.

798
00:42:17,368 --> 00:42:20,404
Wolfgang and Mark Coffey
just wiped out Briggs.

799
00:42:20,471 --> 00:42:22,640
-[Booker] Wow.
-[Vic] Wes Lee didn't realize it.

800
00:42:22,706 --> 00:42:26,644
Lee back to his feet. Going up,
going over, landing on his feet.

801
00:42:26,710 --> 00:42:28,879
All the best for the bell.
Swings wildly, doesn't connect,

802
00:42:28,946 --> 00:42:31,181
but that headbutt certainly did.

803
00:42:31,248 --> 00:42:34,018
Falling into the coverous Briggs, and…

804
00:42:34,652 --> 00:42:35,686
[bell rings]

805
00:42:40,891 --> 00:42:43,527
-[indistinct argument]
-[Oba laughing]

806
00:42:44,461 --> 00:42:45,696
[Booker] I don't think so.

807
00:42:53,170 --> 00:42:59,143
Ladies and gentlemen, your winners,
Joe Coffey and Wes Lee!

808
00:43:01,578 --> 00:43:04,081
-[Booker] What?
-[Vic] Booker, I was getting ready to say,

809
00:43:04,148 --> 00:43:09,453
falling onto the cover of Briggs…
Oba Femi's all smiles. Double pin?

810
00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:10,487
[Oba] What does this mean?

811
00:43:10,554 --> 00:43:12,690
[Vic] So who's gonna face Oba
for the title?

812
00:43:14,725 --> 00:43:15,726
Karmen. Natalya. Tonight…

813
00:43:15,793 --> 00:43:16,961
NXT
KARMEN PETROVIC & NATALYA

814
00:43:17,027 --> 00:43:18,662
…you ladies are in tag team action

815
00:43:18,729 --> 00:43:21,165
in the main event
against Shayna And Lola.

816
00:43:21,231 --> 00:43:24,435
So, how are you going to turn around
your recent struggles against them?

817
00:43:24,501 --> 00:43:27,705
I mean, Kelly, I'm a little nervous
because it is my first main event,

818
00:43:27,771 --> 00:43:30,541
but I got the BOAT as my partner.

819
00:43:30,607 --> 00:43:33,110
Nattie, she has the most matches
in the history of this business.

820
00:43:33,177 --> 00:43:33,978
Oh, stop it.

821
00:43:34,178 --> 00:43:37,615
So if it wasn't for Shayna, Nattie
would have won her underground match.

822
00:43:37,681 --> 00:43:40,317
-Me and her, we're ready for tonight.
-You're so sweet.

823
00:43:40,384 --> 00:43:42,052
You know, Karmen doesn't give
herself enough credit.

824
00:43:42,119 --> 00:43:44,121
In the last few weeks, she--

825
00:43:44,188 --> 00:43:49,126
You've just impressed me so much and we've
just bonded. We've really, really bonded.

826
00:43:49,193 --> 00:43:51,729
And as the most winning woman
in WWE history,

827
00:43:51,795 --> 00:43:54,398
I think tonight you're going
to see this team

828
00:43:54,465 --> 00:43:57,501
be a well-oiled winning machine.

829
00:43:58,736 --> 00:44:01,538
-Bye, Kelley.
-Bye. Good luck tonight, ladies.

830
00:44:02,373 --> 00:44:04,508
First world champions, yes!

831
00:44:05,242 --> 00:44:06,410
Honestly, bro,

832
00:44:07,211 --> 00:44:08,445
I think you're right.

833
00:44:09,613 --> 00:44:10,914
I'm cooked.

834
00:44:11,649 --> 00:44:13,684
I mean, the mirror…

835
00:44:14,385 --> 00:44:15,719
the black cats…

836
00:44:16,487 --> 00:44:17,821
the rabbit's foot.

837
00:44:18,222 --> 00:44:20,891
Listen, brother, no,
we have to remain positive.

838
00:44:20,958 --> 00:44:23,394
Like Brinley would say, man,
she's good for us in that way.

839
00:44:23,460 --> 00:44:25,929
The energy, the vibes, the good luck.

840
00:44:26,096 --> 00:44:29,566
Aw, Malik, does that mean you guys
are coming out with me tonight? Yes!

841
00:44:30,434 --> 00:44:33,537
Honestly, no. This is not a good idea.

842
00:44:33,604 --> 00:44:35,706
But you know, Idris is
bad luck and everything.

843
00:44:35,773 --> 00:44:37,408
-Just stop saying it out loud!
-I was talking about it.

844
00:44:37,474 --> 00:44:38,909
It's the worse when you say it!

845
00:44:39,443 --> 00:44:40,244
I…

846
00:44:40,611 --> 00:44:41,612
Breathe.

847
00:44:42,279 --> 00:44:45,015
-You'll be fine.
-Look, guys.

848
00:44:45,082 --> 00:44:47,651
It's not about luck.
It's about confidence.

849
00:44:47,718 --> 00:44:50,387
So whatever you guys
choose to do, I'm all for.

850
00:44:50,554 --> 00:44:52,489
I just choose not to do it.

851
00:44:52,556 --> 00:44:54,158
[Vic] Who will advance?
We'll find out next.

852
00:44:54,224 --> 00:44:55,559
Can't do that to her.

853
00:44:55,626 --> 00:44:56,927
I think we should stop.

854
00:44:57,594 --> 00:44:58,395
BIANCA BELAIR
WWE SUPERSTAR

855
00:44:58,462 --> 00:45:00,230
Sometimes in life,
in order to move forward,

856
00:45:00,397 --> 00:45:01,665
It helps to look back.

857
00:45:01,832 --> 00:45:02,566
BECKY LYNCH
WWE SUPERSTAR

858
00:45:02,633 --> 00:45:04,535
To learn from the pioneers
and trailblazers.

859
00:45:05,903 --> 00:45:06,703
To gain inspiration…

860
00:45:06,770 --> 00:45:07,571
DAMIAN PRIEST
WWE SUPERSTAR

861
00:45:07,638 --> 00:45:08,939
…from those who came before us.

862
00:45:09,506 --> 00:45:10,307
SONYA DEVILLE
WWE SUPERSTAR

863
00:45:10,374 --> 00:45:12,209
To show us what it means
to act with empathy

864
00:45:12,276 --> 00:45:14,445
and to show that love has no labels.

865
00:45:14,511 --> 00:45:16,213
Join WWE and Love Has No Labels…

866
00:45:16,280 --> 00:45:17,081
CODY RHODES
WWE SUPERSTAR

867
00:45:17,147 --> 00:45:20,751
…throughout the year in celebrating
people from all communities and heritages.

868
00:45:20,818 --> 00:45:22,453
[Bianca Belair]
Because when love has no labels…

869
00:45:22,519 --> 00:45:24,655
[Becky Lynch]
That's a love we can all fight for.

870
00:45:24,721 --> 00:45:25,556
LOVE HAS
NO LABELS

871
00:45:25,622 --> 00:45:26,924
WWW.LOVEHASNOLABELS.COM

872
00:45:31,562 --> 00:45:32,796
At the same time.

873
00:45:33,764 --> 00:45:34,765
[Oba] Ava.

874
00:45:35,532 --> 00:45:37,768
So what's the decision
on this triple threat match?

875
00:45:37,835 --> 00:45:39,636
Who am I facing at Battleground?

876
00:45:39,803 --> 00:45:44,675
Look, I've watched this tape many,
many times and it is clear that Wes

877
00:45:44,741 --> 00:45:46,710
and Joe both pin Briggs.

878
00:45:46,777 --> 00:45:49,113
So at Battleground,
you are going to defend

879
00:45:49,179 --> 00:45:54,518
that championship against Joe Coffey
and Wes Lee in a triple threat match.

880
00:45:58,055 --> 00:45:58,856
Hm.

881
00:46:01,725 --> 00:46:03,761
[Vic] Oh, Booker. That is huge news
heading into Battleground.

882
00:46:03,827 --> 00:46:04,661
SEXY RED COMES TO NXT
NEXT TUESDAY - USA 8/7C

883
00:46:04,728 --> 00:46:06,830
But how about this for huge news?

884
00:46:06,897 --> 00:46:11,401
Social media sensation and one
of Billboard's breakout artists of 2023,

885
00:46:11,468 --> 00:46:14,204
Sexyy Red, will be here on NXT.

886
00:46:14,371 --> 00:46:17,975
Her latest album In Sexyy We Trust
will be released this Friday

887
00:46:18,041 --> 00:46:22,412
and features the hit single Get It Sexy.
I cannot wait to see what happens

888
00:46:22,479 --> 00:46:26,850
when Sexyy Red joins us right
here on NXT next week.

889
00:46:28,552 --> 00:46:29,853
[intro music]

890
00:46:35,926 --> 00:46:36,827
[bell rings]

891
00:46:36,894 --> 00:46:37,795
NXT - BRINLEY REECE

892
00:46:37,861 --> 00:46:39,663
[Mike Rome]
The following is an NXT Women's

893
00:46:39,730 --> 00:46:44,801
North American Championship qualifier!

894
00:46:45,202 --> 00:46:51,175
-Introducing first, Brinley Reece!
-[Vic] I know we just heard from Reece,

895
00:46:51,375 --> 00:46:53,944
but I hope she saved
some of that energy, Booker,

896
00:46:54,011 --> 00:46:55,846
for this qualifying matchup,

897
00:46:56,680 --> 00:47:00,284
[Booker] Reece has been waiting
on the ultimate opportunity

898
00:47:00,350 --> 00:47:01,852
to cash her ticket.

899
00:47:02,352 --> 00:47:03,520
This could be it.

900
00:47:03,587 --> 00:47:06,390
[Vic] She's trying to punch
that plane ticket to Las Vegas.

901
00:47:06,456 --> 00:47:08,292
-[Booker] That's exactly right. Oh, yes.
-[Vic] She's the apex.

902
00:47:08,358 --> 00:47:10,227
Tonight. Battleground.

903
00:47:11,061 --> 00:47:12,830
But so is her opponent.

904
00:47:17,634 --> 00:47:18,602
[intro music]

905
00:47:24,241 --> 00:47:27,411
[Mike Rome] And her opponent
representing OTM…

906
00:47:27,477 --> 00:47:28,278
JAIDA PARKER

907
00:47:28,345 --> 00:47:32,516
…Jaida Parker!

908
00:47:35,052 --> 00:47:37,387
[Vic] Well, no doubt Ms. Parker

909
00:47:37,454 --> 00:47:40,958
is all business here tonight.

910
00:47:43,660 --> 00:47:45,262
[Booker] Yes, indeed.

911
00:47:45,762 --> 00:47:49,866
You know, I touted Jaida Parker
as being one that's going to move

912
00:47:49,933 --> 00:47:54,705
up here in NXT very, very quickly.
See if that come to fruition.

913
00:47:57,741 --> 00:48:00,077
[Vic] I'm just trying to calm down,
take a breath…

914
00:48:00,811 --> 00:48:05,616
after the hectic night
we have had thus far.

915
00:48:06,650 --> 00:48:08,552
-[bell ringing]
-Got to expect the unexpected.

916
00:48:09,620 --> 00:48:11,822
Whoa. And Parker coming out swinging.

917
00:48:11,888 --> 00:48:15,525
And again, you got to go back to just
last week right here in front of us.

918
00:48:15,592 --> 00:48:21,598
These two were fighting all over ringside,
fought all the way up the aisle,

919
00:48:21,665 --> 00:48:22,566
all the way in the back.

920
00:48:22,633 --> 00:48:26,837
All the referees had to come out here
to pull them apart.

921
00:48:26,904 --> 00:48:30,707
These two were throwing hands and that was
a side of Reece we've never seen before.

922
00:48:30,807 --> 00:48:32,976
[Booker] Yes. And tonight
is about stepping up

923
00:48:33,043 --> 00:48:35,312
for an opportunity of a lifetime.

924
00:48:35,379 --> 00:48:38,649
And Reece is
looking pretty damn good right now, Vic.

925
00:48:38,715 --> 00:48:43,587
[Vic] Reece said tonight, not about luck,
but about having the confidence to win.

926
00:48:43,654 --> 00:48:49,393
And that is the type of confidence she's
trying to show Idris and Malik so they can

927
00:48:49,459 --> 00:48:52,229
start believing in themselves
the way that she does.

928
00:48:52,296 --> 00:48:54,064
[Booker] Yeah, I've said it.
I've said it many, many times.

929
00:48:54,131 --> 00:48:58,201
Big preparation is the only luck
you're gonna have in this business.

930
00:48:58,368 --> 00:48:59,670
And you're right.

931
00:48:59,970 --> 00:49:03,273
Uh, that tag team
could gain something from that.

932
00:49:03,440 --> 00:49:06,410
[Vic] Well, the winner of this matchup
will head to Battleground.

933
00:49:06,476 --> 00:49:09,346
The field will be six women.
And it'll be a ladder match.

934
00:49:09,413 --> 00:49:11,448
That field filling up, Sol Ruca,

935
00:49:11,515 --> 00:49:16,086
Lash Legend, Fallon Henley,
who we saw earlier tonight.

936
00:49:16,153 --> 00:49:17,220
They're already in.

937
00:49:17,287 --> 00:49:20,791
One woman will make history
Sunday, June 9th

938
00:49:20,857 --> 00:49:25,696
and be crowned the first ever
Women's North American Champion.

939
00:49:25,762 --> 00:49:29,399
For Miss Parker to the midsection.
Turning things around.

940
00:49:29,466 --> 00:49:32,569
And I-- You love Ms. Parker.
You like Ms. Parker.

941
00:49:32,636 --> 00:49:33,637
You said it time and time again.

942
00:49:33,704 --> 00:49:35,539
You've already said it tonight.
But I want to ask you.

943
00:49:35,605 --> 00:49:36,673
[Booker] She's got game.

944
00:49:36,740 --> 00:49:40,811
[Vic] Pinpoint one thing. What sticks out
the most about Jaida Parker?

945
00:49:40,877 --> 00:49:41,745
[Booker] Look at her right now.

946
00:49:41,812 --> 00:49:47,584
The tenacity, Vic, that you can just tell
she wants it and she wants it badly.

947
00:49:47,651 --> 00:49:50,120
Check this out right here, Vic.
I've seen this right here before.

948
00:49:50,187 --> 00:49:52,222
Watch this.
This is going to be beautiful.

949
00:49:52,289 --> 00:49:54,658
Brinley's perched,
she's in perfect position.

950
00:49:54,725 --> 00:49:56,560
Oh, my God, man!

951
00:49:56,626 --> 00:49:58,695
[Vic] It's the first time
I've heard you do play-by-play

952
00:49:58,762 --> 00:49:59,696
in almost two years working.

953
00:49:59,763 --> 00:50:01,631
Maybe I can breathe on a Tuesday night

954
00:50:01,698 --> 00:50:03,667
and take a breath
now that I know you can do it.

955
00:50:03,734 --> 00:50:04,735
[Booker chuckles] Take a break.

956
00:50:04,801 --> 00:50:09,039
[Vic] Well, Jaida Parker taking no breaks,
continuing to bring the fight.

957
00:50:09,106 --> 00:50:12,676
And this is what you just saw moments ago
from Jaida Parker.

958
00:50:12,743 --> 00:50:15,045
-She is in cruise control.
-[Booker] Oh, yes!

959
00:50:15,112 --> 00:50:18,582
[Vic] You know, we talk about the North
American title. What about Oba Femi?

960
00:50:18,648 --> 00:50:21,118
A massive challenge at Battleground.

961
00:50:21,184 --> 00:50:24,554
As we learned moments ago,
it's going to be a triple threat

962
00:50:24,621 --> 00:50:26,623
against Wes Lee and Joe Coffey.

963
00:50:26,690 --> 00:50:28,692
[Booker] Oba Femi, this guy is no joke.

964
00:50:28,759 --> 00:50:31,061
[Vic] Shoulders out,
shoulders out to get to base!

965
00:50:31,595 --> 00:50:34,131
-Look at the core strength and power.
-[Booker] Oh! Look at the strength…

966
00:50:34,197 --> 00:50:36,533
[Vic] You almost took the words
right out of my mouth.

967
00:50:36,600 --> 00:50:39,503
As it's Brinley Reece
looking for that backslide.

968
00:50:39,569 --> 00:50:40,904
Parker trying to fight,

969
00:50:40,971 --> 00:50:43,206
could not do it any longer,
but was able to kick out.

970
00:50:43,273 --> 00:50:45,675
[Booker] I mean, Reece seemed
like right now she's on autopilot.

971
00:50:45,742 --> 00:50:49,046
Not really having a game plan or strategy
or anything like that.

972
00:50:49,112 --> 00:50:50,480
[Vic] Off the double underhook, suplex,

973
00:50:50,547 --> 00:50:52,949
hook of the leg, a deep hook
and another kick out,

974
00:50:53,016 --> 00:50:57,988
this time by Reece. Parker-Reece,
both tied with scores of 91.

975
00:50:58,055 --> 00:51:03,427
Good for third in the women's combine,
which helped them qualify for this matchup

976
00:51:03,493 --> 00:51:04,294
as…

977
00:51:04,561 --> 00:51:06,730
Well, there you see Idris and Malik

978
00:51:06,797 --> 00:51:08,799
and I would love to know
what that conversation

979
00:51:09,366 --> 00:51:12,169
is all about as we try to focus
back in on this matchup.

980
00:51:12,235 --> 00:51:14,171
And it's Reece
who's trying to show Idris and Blade

981
00:51:14,237 --> 00:51:16,073
that you can overcome any obstacle.

982
00:51:16,139 --> 00:51:18,575
Shoulders down and a kick out.
If you stay positive.

983
00:51:18,642 --> 00:51:19,509
-[Booker laughs]
-[Vic] And it's Reece

984
00:51:19,576 --> 00:51:22,712
who's staying positive right
now as you continue to laugh.

985
00:51:22,779 --> 00:51:24,281
-What the hell's so funny?
-[Booker laughing] No, no,

986
00:51:24,347 --> 00:51:26,616
what if it's not fair to Blade?

987
00:51:26,783 --> 00:51:28,118
Nothing has worked for Blade.

988
00:51:28,185 --> 00:51:30,220
I mean, send him to Ms. Cleo.
Do something.

989
00:51:30,287 --> 00:51:33,457
Give him a crystal ball because they
need help. They need help.

990
00:51:33,757 --> 00:51:35,459
[Vic] Well, right now,
Parker able to kick out.

991
00:51:35,525 --> 00:51:38,762
And, you know,
when it comes to help and luck,

992
00:51:38,829 --> 00:51:42,098
Ms. Parker seems like someone
who makes her own luck.

993
00:51:42,165 --> 00:51:44,901
[Booker] No, no. Like I said,
Ms. Parker, she's a boss.

994
00:51:45,202 --> 00:51:47,537
I really feel like being in this position

995
00:51:47,604 --> 00:51:50,507
-with the old team-- Oh, wow.
-[Vic] Oh, trip back.

996
00:51:51,475 --> 00:51:54,744
Quick kick out. Reece going around
one more time. Shoulders down.

997
00:51:54,811 --> 00:51:59,182
Both these women trying to qualify
for that matchup at Battleground.

998
00:52:00,083 --> 00:52:01,084
[Booker] Wow.

999
00:52:01,485 --> 00:52:05,021
[Vic] And again, this is such a big
matchup for both these women, Booker.

1000
00:52:05,088 --> 00:52:06,022
As Book--

1001
00:52:06,089 --> 00:52:09,092
There's Reece starting to get going
in this matchup again.

1002
00:52:09,159 --> 00:52:10,861
She's building momentum

1003
00:52:10,927 --> 00:52:16,266
by believing in herself, which is what
her matches have been since day one.

1004
00:52:17,701 --> 00:52:21,505
[Booker] This is all heart right here,
Vic. This is all heart by this young lady.

1005
00:52:21,571 --> 00:52:23,807
She's doing a hell of a job going for it.

1006
00:52:23,974 --> 00:52:24,975
Beautiful!

1007
00:52:25,609 --> 00:52:30,847
[Vic] Off the clothesline to qualify.
And Parker again able to kick out at two.

1008
00:52:30,914 --> 00:52:33,049
See the wheels starting to roll

1009
00:52:33,116 --> 00:52:38,522
right now in Reece's mind, what does she
have to do to put Parker down and hold up?

1010
00:52:38,588 --> 00:52:40,991
Idris and Malik getting a closer look.

1011
00:52:41,057 --> 00:52:42,692
I know they're not out
here to talk to you.

1012
00:52:42,759 --> 00:52:46,696
As Parker back in the center of the ring,
able to power her way free.

1013
00:52:46,763 --> 00:52:49,933
And then just drops Reece,
center of the ring.

1014
00:52:51,535 --> 00:52:57,974
And Parker charging in with that teardrop
hip-check into the cover for Parker,

1015
00:52:58,041 --> 00:53:00,977
-who punches her ticket to Las Vegas.
-[bell rings]

1016
00:53:01,044 --> 00:53:02,612
[Booker] I think she was distracted.

1017
00:53:02,679 --> 00:53:06,449
[Mike Rome] Here is your winner,
Jaida Parker!

1018
00:53:06,616 --> 00:53:08,518
[Booker] I think Brinley Reece
was distracted

1019
00:53:08,585 --> 00:53:10,554
by Enofé and Blade coming out here.

1020
00:53:10,720 --> 00:53:12,189
You agree with me on that?

1021
00:53:12,689 --> 00:53:13,890
[Vic] I don't necessarily agree,

1022
00:53:13,957 --> 00:53:17,160
but I cannot argue the fact
because Reece was rolling

1023
00:53:17,227 --> 00:53:18,528
-in this matchup.
-[Booker] She was rolling,

1024
00:53:18,595 --> 00:53:19,930
she was looking damn good.

1025
00:53:19,996 --> 00:53:21,531
[Vic] Right off that clothesline.

1026
00:53:21,598 --> 00:53:24,134
You started to maybe see
maybe that doubt creeping in.

1027
00:53:24,201 --> 00:53:26,503
And then that patented hip-check

1028
00:53:27,337 --> 00:53:28,638
from Parker.

1029
00:53:29,139 --> 00:53:35,779
As Jaida, representing OTM, trying
to get out the mud and to Las Vegas,

1030
00:53:35,845 --> 00:53:39,216
joins the field with Sol Ruca,
Lash Legend, and Fallon Henley.

1031
00:53:39,282 --> 00:53:40,383
NXT WOMEN'S NORTH AMERICAN CHAMPIONSHIP
LADDER MATCH

1032
00:53:40,483 --> 00:53:42,986
June 9th at Battleground.

1033
00:53:43,053 --> 00:53:43,853
[inaudible]

1034
00:53:49,492 --> 00:53:51,861
-Oh, hey, Fallon.
-Hi.

1035
00:53:51,928 --> 00:53:55,165
-Bet it felt nice to finally get a win.
-Yeah, it did.

1036
00:53:55,332 --> 00:53:56,933
And now you get to go to Battleground.

1037
00:53:57,000 --> 00:53:59,169
Yep. And all I have
to do is climb that ladder,

1038
00:53:59,236 --> 00:54:02,806
grab that title, and become the first
women's North American champion.

1039
00:54:02,872 --> 00:54:04,507
Yeah, with this attitude,
you definitely can.

1040
00:54:04,574 --> 00:54:05,842
Well, duh.

1041
00:54:06,142 --> 00:54:08,945
I knew you never needed any friends
to be successful.

1042
00:54:09,012 --> 00:54:10,113
Really?

1043
00:54:10,280 --> 00:54:12,816
Yeah. That's why I waited
till after your match

1044
00:54:12,882 --> 00:54:15,852
to get my payback on Thea
for breaking Jacy's nose.

1045
00:54:22,359 --> 00:54:25,829
[snoring]

1046
00:54:26,796 --> 00:54:28,465
-[alarm ringing]
-[snoring]

1047
00:54:33,136 --> 00:54:34,270
[yawns]

1048
00:54:44,881 --> 00:54:48,652
This NXT Women's Championship
has always been my why.

1049
00:54:49,619 --> 00:54:52,656
And that's why no one's
gonna take it from me.

1050
00:54:54,224 --> 00:54:56,159
It's me and my title against the world.

1051
00:54:56,226 --> 00:55:00,130
And that's fine.
Because as good as these girls are,

1052
00:55:01,598 --> 00:55:03,466
I'm simply better.

1053
00:55:04,734 --> 00:55:10,173
And everyone can say what they want
about me. The locker room, main roster,

1054
00:55:10,340 --> 00:55:15,945
the WWE Universe that loves to post
their useless opinions about me.

1055
00:55:16,112 --> 00:55:19,983
If they only knew it all
just lands at my feet.

1056
00:55:20,050 --> 00:55:24,587
Because all I care about is
my NXT Women's Championship.

1057
00:55:24,654 --> 00:55:25,789
[crowd cheering]

1058
00:55:25,855 --> 00:55:27,957
So you better get used to this sight.

1059
00:55:28,024 --> 00:55:31,061
Because when I look in the mirror,
I don't see a villain,

1060
00:55:31,127 --> 00:55:32,929
I don't see a hero.

1061
00:55:33,096 --> 00:55:40,103
All I see is the prodigy.
Your two-time NXT women's champion.

1062
00:55:47,944 --> 00:55:48,945
Yeah.

1063
00:55:49,779 --> 00:55:53,149
Yep. So I already talked to Nick,
I talked to Adam. Everyone's on board.

1064
00:55:53,216 --> 00:55:55,719
Everything is all signed. All good to go.

1065
00:55:56,152 --> 00:56:00,090
Yes. So next week, Roxanne finds out
who her next title defense is against.

1066
00:56:01,057 --> 00:56:06,763
Yeah. At Battleground. Mm-hm.
Okay, great. Thank you. Bye.

1067
00:56:08,531 --> 00:56:10,867
[sighs] All right, let's see
how this goes.

1068
00:56:11,868 --> 00:56:14,871
[Vic] Hold the phone. I mean,
Booker, you got sources.

1069
00:56:14,938 --> 00:56:18,174
You gotta know something.
What's Ava talking about?

1070
00:56:18,708 --> 00:56:21,244
[Booker vocalizing]

1071
00:56:21,511 --> 00:56:23,480
The TV star.

1072
00:56:23,980 --> 00:56:25,048
[Vic] That's not
what I was talking about.

1073
00:56:25,115 --> 00:56:27,183
[Booker] The star of all television.

1074
00:56:28,551 --> 00:56:29,552
Japan,

1075
00:56:30,286 --> 00:56:31,287
England,

1076
00:56:31,755 --> 00:56:33,256
Zambuca,

1077
00:56:33,890 --> 00:56:39,028
everywhere. Oh, yes. His name is Lexis.

1078
00:56:39,229 --> 00:56:40,063
LEXIS KING

1079
00:56:40,130 --> 00:56:45,135
[Mike Rome] Ladies and gentlemen,
please welcome Lexis King!

1080
00:56:45,201 --> 00:56:46,002
[Booker] Oh, yeah!

1081
00:56:46,069 --> 00:56:49,205
[Vic] Oh, Mike Roman's been back two
weeks, you're just trying to take his job.

1082
00:56:49,406 --> 00:56:50,440
[Booker laughs]

1083
00:56:50,607 --> 00:56:52,675
Hey, man, this guy gotta
get the star intro.

1084
00:56:52,742 --> 00:56:54,344
Well, well, well…

1085
00:56:56,546 --> 00:56:59,849
The King has been on a bit
of a hot streak lately.

1086
00:57:00,283 --> 00:57:01,985
I mean, can you argue with that?

1087
00:57:02,585 --> 00:57:06,489
And we all know that whoever
walks through that curtain tonight

1088
00:57:06,890 --> 00:57:13,663
is gonna join a long list of gentlemen
who have fallen to the King.

1089
00:57:15,532 --> 00:57:21,805
I mean. I mean, let's face it,
in 2024, I am virtually undefeated.

1090
00:57:22,605 --> 00:57:23,773
[intro music]

1091
00:57:25,408 --> 00:57:28,044
This guy I already beat.

1092
00:57:30,713 --> 00:57:33,583
[Vic] Oh, it's Mr. Stone.

1093
00:57:33,650 --> 00:57:34,951
NXT - ROBERT STONE

1094
00:57:35,485 --> 00:57:38,221
-[Booker] Give him a shot.
-[Vic] Well, he was issued a challenge

1095
00:57:38,288 --> 00:57:39,689
by Ava.

1096
00:57:39,856 --> 00:57:41,157
[intro music]

1097
00:57:41,224 --> 00:57:42,492
-Yeah!
-[crowd cheering]

1098
00:57:48,498 --> 00:57:50,333
[Vic] And look who he found!

1099
00:57:58,708 --> 00:58:02,545
[Mike Rome] And his opponent, Dante Chen!

1100
00:58:02,612 --> 00:58:03,646
DANTE CHEN

1101
00:58:03,713 --> 00:58:07,116
[Vic] Stone's fired up.
The NXT universe is fired up.

1102
00:58:07,183 --> 00:58:10,854
Dante Chen, a stalwart
of NXT and Level Up.

1103
00:58:10,920 --> 00:58:14,958
This is a big opportunity.
This is a big chance for Dante.

1104
00:58:15,024 --> 00:58:19,462
[Booker] Lexis King finna make short
work out of the Chin Man.

1105
00:58:19,629 --> 00:58:22,532
This is gonna be quick, trust me, dog.

1106
00:58:30,740 --> 00:58:31,875
[screaming]

1107
00:58:33,343 --> 00:58:34,544
[crowd cheering]

1108
00:58:35,712 --> 00:58:39,782
[Vic] Rob certainly has left
no stone unturned

1109
00:58:39,849 --> 00:58:42,652
looking through the NXT locker room.

1110
00:58:44,053 --> 00:58:47,824
What's your first thoughts on Dante Chen?

1111
00:58:47,891 --> 00:58:51,828
[Booker laughs] The Chin Man is about to
get the hell beat out of him

1112
00:58:51,895 --> 00:58:53,129
by a television star.

1113
00:58:53,196 --> 00:58:55,965
You know what? The thing is,
he's going to be a made man tonight.

1114
00:58:56,032 --> 00:58:57,934
[crowd chanting]

1115
00:58:58,134 --> 00:59:01,204
[Vic] Are you saying the Chen Man
or the Chin Man?

1116
00:59:01,271 --> 00:59:04,540
[Booker] The Chen Man, the Tin Man,
the Chin Man, the same thing.

1117
00:59:04,607 --> 00:59:07,477
[Vic] No, it's not. It's Chen.
It's not Chin. It's Dante Chen.

1118
00:59:07,544 --> 00:59:12,682
The first Singaporean-born superstar
in WWE. Lexis King right on top.

1119
00:59:12,749 --> 00:59:16,286
And Lexis King, almost to your point

1120
00:59:17,053 --> 00:59:19,522
about how he would treat Mr. Stone.

1121
00:59:19,722 --> 00:59:22,158
And Chen-- I just don't get
what makes King think

1122
00:59:22,225 --> 00:59:24,327
-he can just come out here, call his shot.
-[Booker] Look at him.

1123
00:59:24,394 --> 00:59:26,229
[Vic] Two wins in a row
doesn't make a career.

1124
00:59:26,296 --> 00:59:30,667
[Booker] Every since this man, Lexis King,
showed up, the Internet has blown up.

1125
00:59:30,733 --> 00:59:34,370
We've been trending on a
weekly basis, that's why.

1126
00:59:34,804 --> 00:59:37,340
[Vic] What about that shot?
Big drop kick by Dante.

1127
00:59:37,407 --> 00:59:38,207
[Booker] King's looking good.

1128
00:59:38,274 --> 00:59:40,376
He's looking real good here
early in this matchup.

1129
00:59:40,443 --> 00:59:44,647
[Vic] I can't believe what Mr. Stone
was able to do, to get Dante Chen.

1130
00:59:46,482 --> 00:59:49,686
[Booker] Take your time, King.
Take your time. You're a TV star.

1131
00:59:49,752 --> 00:59:52,121
You're the star of all television.

1132
00:59:52,188 --> 00:59:55,058
[Vic] A lot of cheap shots thrown
to Rob Stone

1133
00:59:56,492 --> 01:00:01,264
from Lexis King. Well, Stone threw
some back as well, but also to--

1134
01:00:01,331 --> 01:00:05,234
-Oh, those kicks!
-[Booker] Beautiful dropkick by the King!

1135
01:00:05,835 --> 01:00:08,705
[Vic] Into the cover,
hook of the leg and a kick out.

1136
01:00:08,771 --> 01:00:09,973
[Booker] I tell you, King, the King.

1137
01:00:10,039 --> 01:00:13,176
This dude right here,
he definitely lives up to the moniker.

1138
01:00:13,242 --> 01:00:14,811
You got to give him that, Vic.

1139
01:00:15,511 --> 01:00:19,048
[Vic] Oof. I'm not giving him anything.
You don't give…

1140
01:00:19,215 --> 01:00:21,084
You don't give credit where credit is due
half the time.

1141
01:00:21,150 --> 01:00:22,518
[Booker] I'm giving credit right now
to the King.

1142
01:00:22,585 --> 01:00:27,824
[Vic] Yeah, when it serves you and your
thoughts. Lexis King again, certainly--

1143
01:00:27,890 --> 01:00:29,726
I, I just don't. Are you on his payroll?

1144
01:00:29,792 --> 01:00:32,095
How the hell did he climb up
your hall of fame ranks?

1145
01:00:32,161 --> 01:00:34,263
[Booker] No, no. From day one
I'm watching this kid right now.

1146
01:00:34,330 --> 01:00:36,699
He's making quick work of the Chen Man.

1147
01:00:36,766 --> 01:00:38,301
Chen is gonna have to do something

1148
01:00:38,368 --> 01:00:41,237
because the fans on him,
he's got that six, man.

1149
01:00:41,304 --> 01:00:42,905
He's got people cheerleading for him.

1150
01:00:42,972 --> 01:00:45,975
But it's not going to help him
with the television star.

1151
01:00:46,042 --> 01:00:47,977
[Vic] We talk about history being made

1152
01:00:48,645 --> 01:00:53,649
at Battleground, Kelani, the first ever
NXT women's North American champion said

1153
01:00:53,716 --> 01:00:56,152
moments ago about Dante Chen,
he's a history maker too.

1154
01:00:56,219 --> 01:00:58,654
That's why this moment is
so big, so special

1155
01:00:58,721 --> 01:01:00,256
that Rob Stone has delivered to us.

1156
01:01:00,323 --> 01:01:04,193
[Vic] 'Cause the first Singaporean-born
superstar in WWE history

1157
01:01:04,260 --> 01:01:07,397
is in the ring against
your so-called television star.

1158
01:01:08,197 --> 01:01:09,599
Nice short arm clothesline.

1159
01:01:09,665 --> 01:01:11,234
-[Booker] Beautiful.
-[Vic] But what other shows is he on?

1160
01:01:11,300 --> 01:01:12,435
[Booker] Beautiful. What are you
talking about, what other…

1161
01:01:12,502 --> 01:01:14,103
-[Vic] What other show is he on?
-[Booker] He's on…

1162
01:01:14,170 --> 01:01:16,339
He's on every television screen
across the world.

1163
01:01:16,406 --> 01:01:18,641
-Across the nation
-[Vic] Maybe right now on a Tuesday.

1164
01:01:18,708 --> 01:01:20,710
[Booker] Exactly my point.
You know what it is?

1165
01:01:20,877 --> 01:01:23,946
That television time
is worth its weight in gold.

1166
01:01:24,147 --> 01:01:28,951
And this man right here, Lexis King is
thinking about that one thing, the goal

1167
01:01:29,018 --> 01:01:30,019
at the end of the day.

1168
01:01:30,086 --> 01:01:32,355
[Vic] King with a lot of strikes
got caught by Dante.

1169
01:01:32,422 --> 01:01:34,190
-A big clothesline!
-[Booker] Wow!

1170
01:01:34,257 --> 01:01:36,192
[Vic] Surprised Dante
could hold on to King.

1171
01:01:36,259 --> 01:01:37,894
King is a greasy individual.

1172
01:01:37,960 --> 01:01:39,962
[Booker] That was a big shot
by the Chen Man.

1173
01:01:40,029 --> 01:01:42,465
[Vic] It was a big moment. Bam!

1174
01:01:42,532 --> 01:01:45,301
Dante Chen
has been waiting for this moment

1175
01:01:45,368 --> 01:01:47,403
since he moved over here to America,

1176
01:01:47,470 --> 01:01:50,940
since he signed that contract.
He's been waiting for an opportunity.

1177
01:01:51,007 --> 01:01:52,442
He's been waiting for that match.

1178
01:01:52,508 --> 01:01:53,910
He's been waiting for that moment

1179
01:01:53,976 --> 01:01:56,112
that his family can watch and be proud of.

1180
01:01:56,179 --> 01:01:59,716
-And look at Chen unloading.
-[Booker] The hell's going on right here?

1181
01:01:59,782 --> 01:02:06,089
Betting odds is about 325 minus 325 for
this man. Lexis King. King, do your job.

1182
01:02:06,155 --> 01:02:07,256
I got money on you.

1183
01:02:07,323 --> 01:02:09,392
[Vic] I don't even know what you said,
you talk so damn fast.

1184
01:02:09,459 --> 01:02:10,960
There's Dante right now.

1185
01:02:11,027 --> 01:02:12,695
Dante can do it!

1186
01:02:13,296 --> 01:02:16,933
Big splash, big inverted atomic drop.

1187
01:02:17,633 --> 01:02:18,968
Dante found the…

1188
01:02:19,035 --> 01:02:19,836
[Booker] Whoa!

1189
01:02:19,902 --> 01:02:22,405
-[Vic] …kick across the jaw.
-[Booker] Can he get some space?

1190
01:02:22,472 --> 01:02:24,107
Find some space, son.

1191
01:02:24,707 --> 01:02:25,741
[crowd chanting] Dante!

1192
01:02:25,908 --> 01:02:27,743
Look at the chest of Dante Chen.

1193
01:02:27,810 --> 01:02:30,680
He's all cut up and marked up right now,
but he's still fighting.

1194
01:02:30,747 --> 01:02:33,983
[Vic] Catches Lexis King.
We gotta remember, too, for Dante Chen,

1195
01:02:34,050 --> 01:02:37,787
he battled Lexis King in King's debut.
Maybe there's a little

1196
01:02:37,854 --> 01:02:42,458
payback on his mind.
Into the cover and a kick out by King.

1197
01:02:42,525 --> 01:02:45,294
Oh, this place was about to explode.

1198
01:02:45,361 --> 01:02:48,064
[Booker] Dante Chen is doing
a hell of a job right now,

1199
01:02:48,131 --> 01:02:49,866
and he's letting it all hang out,

1200
01:02:49,932 --> 01:02:51,434
but I just don't think
it's gonna be enough

1201
01:02:51,501 --> 01:02:53,402
to defeat the television star,

1202
01:02:53,469 --> 01:02:56,739
the star of all television.
I don't think it's gonna happen.

1203
01:02:56,906 --> 01:03:00,409
[Vic] Dante was a half second away,
but King was able to fight through.

1204
01:03:02,278 --> 01:03:06,249
[Booker] Oh, drive by, drive by!
Oh, yes, man!

1205
01:03:06,315 --> 01:03:08,184
[Vic] There's that crowning moment

1206
01:03:09,085 --> 01:03:13,256
as King staring a hole in Rob Stone.
They go ahead and talk about it.

1207
01:03:13,322 --> 01:03:17,693
But Stone hasn't had the best track
record, so to speak, as Stone right now…

1208
01:03:17,760 --> 01:03:19,629
[Booker] Do your job, ref!

1209
01:03:22,265 --> 01:03:24,133
[Vic] He didn't involve himself
in the match.

1210
01:03:24,200 --> 01:03:28,004
He hasn't touched Lexis King.
And look, Rob Stone, he got down.

1211
01:03:28,070 --> 01:03:30,072
He got off his feet.
Swing and a miss, though.

1212
01:03:30,139 --> 01:03:31,274
-[Vic] Oh!
-[Booker] Oh,

1213
01:03:31,340 --> 01:03:36,245
you cannot sucker a TV star
like that. What do you think?

1214
01:03:36,312 --> 01:03:40,783
[Vic] Super kick caught. Dante Chen,
who's already been crowned.

1215
01:03:42,585 --> 01:03:44,954
-[Booker] Rockabye.
-[Vic] Looking for the coronation!

1216
01:03:45,021 --> 01:03:47,490
-It's on cradle!
-[Booker] Oh, hell no.

1217
01:03:47,557 --> 01:03:51,828
[Vic] Chen countered!
Chen shocks the NXT universe!

1218
01:03:52,528 --> 01:03:57,366
[Mike Rome] Here is your winner,
Dante Chen!

1219
01:03:59,735 --> 01:04:00,603
You did it!

1220
01:04:01,804 --> 01:04:02,872
[Vic] Nothing?

1221
01:04:02,939 --> 01:04:03,873
[Booker] What just happened?

1222
01:04:03,940 --> 01:04:06,342
[Vic] Nothing.
You got nothing to talk about

1223
01:04:06,409 --> 01:04:10,213
because Dante Chen just made the King

1224
01:04:10,279 --> 01:04:14,150
a jester here tonight on NXT.

1225
01:04:18,821 --> 01:04:20,790
Listen, you beat Natty in Underground?

1226
01:04:20,857 --> 01:04:21,657
LOLA VICE
SHAYNA BASZLER

1227
01:04:21,724 --> 01:04:23,759
-Yeah. Hm-hmm.
-I beat Karmen one-on-one.

1228
01:04:24,093 --> 01:04:25,995
We should be pretty dominant
in there tonight.

1229
01:04:26,062 --> 01:04:27,163
Shayna.

1230
01:04:27,230 --> 01:04:28,798
Together we're unstoppable.

1231
01:04:28,865 --> 01:04:31,400
Natty and Karmen only have
one of three options, right?

1232
01:04:31,467 --> 01:04:32,468
Yeah.

1233
01:04:33,035 --> 01:04:34,470
But listen…

1234
01:04:35,671 --> 01:04:38,074
let's keep the dancing
back here tonight, okay?

1235
01:04:39,208 --> 01:04:41,410
Out there, we're cage fighters.

1236
01:04:41,477 --> 01:04:44,247
-It's all business in there.
-Oh, I'm all business, mama.

1237
01:04:44,313 --> 01:04:47,450
Once that bell rings, pero I'm a Latina.

1238
01:04:48,150 --> 01:04:49,819
I like to have fun, too.

1239
01:04:52,355 --> 01:04:55,091
[Vic] Well, certainly, Booker,
no fun in games in our main event,

1240
01:04:55,157 --> 01:04:58,461
as our champion is here and he
doesn't look to be in a good mood.

1241
01:04:58,527 --> 01:04:59,528
NXT - NEXT

1242
01:04:59,595 --> 01:05:03,366
We're gonna hear from our NXT
champion, Trick Williams, next.

1243
01:05:06,269 --> 01:05:07,169
[intro music]

1244
01:05:20,483 --> 01:05:25,922
[Mike Rome] Ladies and gentlemen,
please welcome…

1245
01:05:25,988 --> 01:05:26,956
NXT CHAMPION
TRICK WILLIAMS

1246
01:05:27,023 --> 01:05:29,859
…NXT champion…

1247
01:05:30,826 --> 01:05:36,032
Trick Williams!

1248
01:05:37,099 --> 01:05:38,901
Oh, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo, yo.

1249
01:05:41,737 --> 01:05:45,041
Hey, y'all, I appreciate that,
but I gotta get serious.

1250
01:05:45,808 --> 01:05:47,376
Let's get straight to business.

1251
01:05:48,344 --> 01:05:50,313
Two weeks ago, Noam Dar cussed me out

1252
01:05:50,379 --> 01:05:54,216
here for a supernova session
and he dropped me from behind.

1253
01:05:55,484 --> 01:05:57,086
I took that on the chin.

1254
01:05:57,787 --> 01:06:02,124
Last week, Noam Dar comes out here
and he gets dropped backstage.

1255
01:06:03,492 --> 01:06:07,129
Now we all know that if
anyone knows how that feels,

1256
01:06:07,196 --> 01:06:10,933
Trick Williams knows how that feels.
And I wouldn't wish that on nobody.

1257
01:06:14,003 --> 01:06:16,272
So let me say this one time
and make it crystal clear

1258
01:06:16,339 --> 01:06:18,975
so everyone understands
what I'm trying to say.

1259
01:06:21,110 --> 01:06:24,480
Noam Dar, I did not attack you.

1260
01:06:26,782 --> 01:06:29,018
If Trick Williams wanted to attack you,

1261
01:06:29,085 --> 01:06:33,089
Never. It won't happen. If Trick
Williams wanted to attack you, Noam Dar…

1262
01:06:34,090 --> 01:06:35,725
you would have been unconscious.

1263
01:06:36,759 --> 01:06:38,861
If Trick Williams wanted to attack you…

1264
01:06:39,562 --> 01:06:43,165
If Trick Williams wanted to attack you,
you wouldn't have been holding your leg.

1265
01:06:43,332 --> 01:06:45,935
You would have the size 15
Jordan logo tattooed

1266
01:06:46,002 --> 01:06:47,536
right across the middle
of your forehead.

1267
01:06:47,603 --> 01:06:48,938
I don't attack from behind.

1268
01:06:49,004 --> 01:06:49,939
[intro music]

1269
01:06:54,877 --> 01:06:57,113
Trick. Trick. Trick.

1270
01:06:58,247 --> 01:07:00,416
What you need to do is stop playing.

1271
01:07:00,483 --> 01:07:01,283
META-FOUR

1272
01:07:01,350 --> 01:07:06,589
You might have all these crusty dusty
mustys tricked, but you ain't tricking us.

1273
01:07:06,756 --> 01:07:08,591
'Cause we know it was you.

1274
01:07:09,925 --> 01:07:11,394
It might have been Je'von.

1275
01:07:11,460 --> 01:07:14,597
Or maybe it was the both of you
that attacked Noam.

1276
01:07:15,064 --> 01:07:16,499
Trick, cut it out.

1277
01:07:17,266 --> 01:07:21,937
If it wasn't Je'von and it was you, you're
probably still salty because my guy

1278
01:07:22,004 --> 01:07:25,074
-know knocked the daylight out of you.
-[Jakara] That's right.

1279
01:07:25,141 --> 01:07:25,975
[Oro] My guy.

1280
01:07:26,909 --> 01:07:30,179
Grow up. Be a man. Admit it.

1281
01:07:30,246 --> 01:07:33,282
Admit that you are a low life
and you don't deserve--

1282
01:07:33,349 --> 01:07:34,617
They don't want me.

1283
01:07:34,784 --> 01:07:38,421
-You don't deserve to be NXT champion.
-Say it with your chest.

1284
01:07:38,487 --> 01:07:39,522
Wait a minute!

1285
01:07:39,688 --> 01:07:44,260
Jakara, Oro, please cut it out.
Trick did not attack Noam.

1286
01:07:44,326 --> 01:07:45,928
-What? What?
-He didn't!

1287
01:07:46,095 --> 01:07:47,563
-Girl!
-He did not!

1288
01:07:47,630 --> 01:07:49,698
What makes you think
Trick didn't do it?

1289
01:07:49,765 --> 01:07:52,435
Uh-huh. Humble minds want to know.

1290
01:07:52,968 --> 01:07:56,639
-Lash, let's hear about it.
-Look, I didn't even say it like that.

1291
01:07:56,705 --> 01:07:58,841
Trick has actually been through this.

1292
01:07:58,908 --> 01:08:01,677
[repeating] La la la. Lash.

1293
01:08:02,745 --> 01:08:04,613
Are you shaking this man's dreads?

1294
01:08:04,980 --> 01:08:05,781
What?

1295
01:08:06,282 --> 01:08:08,451
Whose side are you on, huh?

1296
01:08:09,418 --> 01:08:12,188
Oro, I suggest you shut your mouth

1297
01:08:12,254 --> 01:08:16,025
before I come out there and I'll smack
them tap dance loafers right off your ass.

1298
01:08:16,091 --> 01:08:17,093

[intro music]

1300
01:08:22,164 --> 01:08:23,165
[Lash] Who that?

1301
01:08:37,513 --> 01:08:40,182
You're probably wondering why.

1302
01:08:41,317 --> 01:08:47,423
Probably thinking why is the guy
who's just earned the opportunity

1303
01:08:48,190 --> 01:08:52,761
for a shot at the North American title…

1304
01:08:52,928 --> 01:08:58,501
Why am I out here talking
to the NXT champ?

1305
01:08:58,734 --> 01:08:59,935
[inaudible]

1306
01:09:01,370 --> 01:09:05,174
Wilson, you're about to find out why.

1307
01:09:06,208 --> 01:09:07,843
-[Lash] Oh, really?
-[crowd shouting]

1308
01:09:09,612 --> 01:09:12,781
[Vic] Booker, Wolfgang, Mark Coffey.

1309
01:09:12,848 --> 01:09:13,749
-[Jakara] Get him!
-[crowd booing]

1310
01:09:13,816 --> 01:09:18,587
[Vic] That looks like a pack of hyenas
attacking Trick Williams.

1311
01:09:24,160 --> 01:09:26,662
It's Je'von Evans…

1312
01:09:28,531 --> 01:09:30,099
joining Williams.

1313
01:09:30,166 --> 01:09:32,401
[crowd chanting] Young OG!

1314
01:09:33,736 --> 01:09:38,908
[Vic] Young OG throwing hands
in the numbers game too much.

1315
01:09:39,074 --> 01:09:40,376
[crowd booing]

1316
01:09:40,609 --> 01:09:44,813
[Booker] Concerning himself with business
that don't concern him, Vic.

1317
01:09:45,614 --> 01:09:52,154
[Vic] I just looked up, Jakara, Oro,
all smiles on the outside

1318
01:09:52,221 --> 01:09:55,891
as Evans just taken care of.
There's Trick!

1319
01:09:55,958 --> 01:09:58,727
NXT champion not gonna lay down.

1320
01:09:58,794 --> 01:10:00,296
[crowd chanting] Whoop that trick!

1321
01:10:00,362 --> 01:10:02,998
[Booker] Numbers game, Vic.
Numbers game.

1322
01:10:03,699 --> 01:10:10,706
[Vic] Not even the NXT universe can rally
and help and save the NXT champion.

1323
01:10:11,206 --> 01:10:12,041
[crowd booing]

1324
01:10:12,107 --> 01:10:16,011

1326
01:10:20,449 --> 01:10:23,018
[Vic] Gallus has come back to NXT

1327
01:10:24,253 --> 01:10:31,260
and has had a gigantic seismic shift
to the landscape on Tuesday nights.

1328
01:10:35,364 --> 01:10:36,232
You see that?

1329
01:10:45,107 --> 01:10:47,543
[Vic] Oh, Booker, we have to get focused
as there you see

1330
01:10:47,610 --> 01:10:50,646
a Canadian connection
of Karmen Petrovic and Natalya

1331
01:10:50,713 --> 01:10:53,015
as they look to settle
their issues once and for all

1332
01:10:53,082 --> 01:10:55,718

1335
01:11:03,692 --> 01:11:04,860
You did great out there.

1336
01:11:04,927 --> 01:11:07,029
You did great out there.
You deserved that win.

1337
01:11:07,096 --> 01:11:09,765
Did you hear those people?
I couldn't even hear out there.

1338
01:11:09,832 --> 01:11:11,333
-They loved you so much
-Dante.

1339
01:11:11,400 --> 01:11:13,535
I just wanted to come in and
personally congratulate you.

1340
01:11:13,602 --> 01:11:17,339
-You did amazing tonight. Well deserved.
-Ava, thank you.

1341
01:11:17,506 --> 01:11:20,342
More importantly, thank you
for the opportunity tonight.

1342
01:11:20,409 --> 01:11:24,046
I mean, look, I wish I could take credit,
but honestly, that was all Mr. Stone.

1343
01:11:24,113 --> 01:11:26,181
He convinced me that this was your time.

01:11:26,248 --> 01:11:27,049
[scoffs]

1345
01:11:27,549 --> 01:11:29,985
Well, then, Mr. Stone,

1346
01:11:30,753 --> 01:11:33,389
-thank you.
-Super proud of you, Dante.

1347
01:11:33,455 --> 01:11:35,624
-Appreciate it.
-Enjoy that win.

1348
01:11:36,392 --> 01:11:39,528
Hey, look, I know you're always
looking for fresh, young talent.

1349
01:11:39,595 --> 01:11:41,163
-He was it.
-Absolutely.

1350
01:11:41,230 --> 01:11:44,633
Congratulations, because you
made a star tonight. Well done.

1382
01:13:29,471 --> 01:13:31,273
[Vic] Booker, they walk around,

1383
01:13:31,340 --> 01:13:35,477
that being Vice and Baszler,
like they own the place.

1384
01:13:36,578 --> 01:13:38,881
-Like they run NXT.
-[Booker] Big.

1385
01:13:38,947 --> 01:13:42,518
Both accomplished
in their own perspective arts.

1386
01:13:42,584 --> 01:13:45,788
And the thing is,
Shayna Baszler been there, done that.

How many times…

01:13:48,524 --> 01:13:51,260

…and Natalya!

1394
01:14:06,809 --> 01:14:10,846
[Vic] That was Petrovic, who was
done talking last week.

1395
01:14:10,913 --> 01:14:12,981
She wanted to fight.

1396
01:14:13,048 --> 01:14:17,386
She wanted to end this, as does Natalya.

1397
01:14:18,187 --> 01:14:19,688
[Booker laughs]

1398
01:14:20,756 --> 01:14:22,524
[Vic] The future Hall of Famer.

1399
01:14:22,591 --> 01:14:25,394
[Booker] That's a really solid woman
right there, Natalya.

1400
01:14:27,663 --> 01:14:30,732
Look at that. Finally got
some style and some class.

1401
01:14:30,966 --> 01:14:31,767
[Booker] You had 'em upside down.

1402
01:14:37,573 --> 01:14:39,041
You had him on upside down.

1403
01:14:39,107 --> 01:14:42,044
[Vic] She put him on me upside down,
but I wasn't going to say anything.

1404
01:14:42,110 --> 01:14:43,912
That's your own fault
for calling that out,

1405
01:14:43,979 --> 01:14:45,714
blowing up everything going on over here,

1406
01:14:45,781 --> 01:14:46,715
You just ruined a great moment.

1407
01:14:46,782 --> 01:14:48,383
-Thanks, Book.
-[Booker] Great moment for who?

1408
01:14:48,450 --> 01:14:49,985
[Vic] For me, and Natalya.

1409
01:14:50,052 --> 01:14:51,520
We're friends.
You know that I do have friends.

1410
01:14:51,587 --> 01:14:53,622
[Booker stammering]
Nobody is friends with you.

1411
01:14:53,722 --> 01:14:54,923
[Vic] Yeah, you couldn't even
get that out.

1412
01:14:54,990 --> 01:14:56,558
You don't even believe
what the hell you just said.

1413
01:14:56,625 --> 01:14:58,460
-[Booker laughs]
-[Vic] Canadian connection united tonight.

1414
01:14:58,527 --> 01:15:01,830
Karmen sporting a pink heart
in support of the BOAT.

1415
01:15:02,030 --> 01:15:07,002
That being Natalya, who has supported
her since Petrovic signed here to NXT.

1416
01:15:07,169 --> 01:15:09,104
[Booker] Shayna Baszler
going right to her base,

1417
01:15:09,171 --> 01:15:11,707
immediately using that black belt ability.

1418
01:15:12,040 --> 01:15:13,742
-[Natalya chanting] Patty!
-[crowd chanting] Patty!

1419
01:15:14,042 --> 01:15:15,911
[Vic] It's gonna be
a very interesting matchup.

1420
01:15:15,978 --> 01:15:18,580
If you take a look
at all four of these superstars

1421
01:15:18,647 --> 01:15:22,417
who are so different and the styles
in which they've learned to fight.

1422
01:15:22,484 --> 01:15:27,055
We know the history of Shayna Baszler.
We know Lola Vice is back, though.

1423
01:15:27,122 --> 01:15:30,058
The cheap shot to the spine, followed up
with a devastating knee.

1424
01:15:30,125 --> 01:15:34,696
Natalya may be out and able to hit that
right shoulder up, that sort of offense,

1425
01:15:34,763 --> 01:15:38,400
that sort of attacks. Natalya couldn't
learn that in the dungeon.

1426
01:15:38,467 --> 01:15:40,769
[Booker] You know, I'm wondering
if Karmen Petrovic

1427
01:15:40,836 --> 01:15:42,004
is going to be able to pull her load

1428
01:15:42,070 --> 01:15:43,238
in this matchup right here.

1429
01:15:43,305 --> 01:15:48,477
Because like I said, Lola Vice, we know
what she bring to the table. Fast hands.

1430
01:15:48,544 --> 01:15:50,445
[Vic] Fast hands.
Another quick tag was made.

1431
01:15:50,512 --> 01:15:53,282
And I know you've been impressed
with Lola Vice,

1432
01:15:53,348 --> 01:15:55,984
but you also have to remember
it's Shayna Baszler

1433
01:15:56,051 --> 01:15:59,454
who has helped her
in recent weeks pick up victories.

1434
01:15:59,621 --> 01:16:03,525
[Booker] Not just that, just sitting under
that learning tree of Shayna Baszler.

1435
01:16:03,592 --> 01:16:04,793
You can't help but learn.

1436
01:16:04,860 --> 01:16:08,864
You can't learn those tricks at any
wrestling school or anything like that.

1437
01:16:09,031 --> 01:16:10,966
[Vic] Natalya trying
to get through the leg,

1438
01:16:11,033 --> 01:16:12,801
-trying to get over, so close.
-[Booker] Ah-ah.

1439
01:16:13,435 --> 01:16:17,306
[Vic] Able to kick away Baszler,
finally making the tag.

1440
01:16:17,372 --> 01:16:19,241
And in comes Karmen Petrovic,

1441
01:16:19,308 --> 01:16:24,513
a superstar whose swing steel
has skill, a fierce superstar.

1442
01:16:24,580 --> 01:16:25,847
Petrovic wanted this fight.

1443
01:16:25,914 --> 01:16:28,917
Right now she's bringing it
right now, too, Vic.

1444
01:16:28,984 --> 01:16:30,586
-[Vic] It was Natalya--
-[Booker] Whoa!

1445
01:16:30,652 --> 01:16:32,487
[Vic] It was Natalya
who told Karmen Petrovic

1446
01:16:32,554 --> 01:16:34,957
to blaze a trail of glory in the ring.

1447
01:16:35,524 --> 01:16:38,327
It is Natalya who
is a definition of a role model,

1448
01:16:38,393 --> 01:16:42,631
has challenged Petrovic to step up,
be forceful, not get walked on.

1449
01:16:42,698 --> 01:16:44,099
And that's exactly

1450
01:16:44,166 --> 01:16:46,268
what Petrovic is bringing here tonight.

1451
01:16:46,335 --> 01:16:50,439
Into the cover, hook of the leg
and a near fall in this match.

1452
01:16:50,505 --> 01:16:52,975
[Booker] See that karate
coming into place right there.

1453
01:16:53,041 --> 01:16:57,946
-Educated feat by Petrovic.
-[Vic] Petrovic called over, saw Vice.

1454
01:16:58,013 --> 01:17:02,384
In comes Natalya. That Canadian
connection trying to showcase

1455
01:17:02,451 --> 01:17:04,086
their offensive ability,
but there's the power,

1456
01:17:04,152 --> 01:17:08,724
there's the combat style, there's
the MMA background of Vice and Baszler.

1457
01:17:08,790 --> 01:17:13,929
Swing and a miss, right back in.
Oh! Double clotheslines in stereo.

1458
01:17:13,996 --> 01:17:15,931
Don't miss a second of this matchup.

1459
01:17:15,998 --> 01:17:18,967
Who's walking out with the victory on NXT?

1460
01:17:22,170 --> 01:17:24,740
Back on NXT, tag team main event.

1461
01:17:24,806 --> 01:17:28,443
Long standing issue between all four
of these superstars,

1462
01:17:28,510 --> 01:17:30,212
specifically between Lola Vice

1463
01:17:30,278 --> 01:17:33,248
and the team of Natalya
and Karmen Petrovic.

1464
01:17:33,315 --> 01:17:35,751
Because Vice disrespected
the career of Natalya

1465
01:17:35,817 --> 01:17:39,121
or the combat background
in karate of Karmen Petrovic,

1466
01:17:39,187 --> 01:17:41,256
who rolls up Baszler and a kick out.

1467
01:17:42,090 --> 01:17:45,027
But it's hard not to argue

1468
01:17:46,528 --> 01:17:48,563
that Baszler is into the cover hook
of the leg

1469
01:17:48,630 --> 01:17:50,732
-and another near fall of Lola Vice.
-[Booker] Damn close.

1470
01:17:50,799 --> 01:17:54,236
-[Vic] They are just a savage duo.
-[Booker] Yeah, they say MMA

1471
01:17:54,936 --> 01:17:57,339
trumps karate any day of the week.

1472
01:17:57,406 --> 01:18:00,909
And like I said, I don't know
if Karmen Petrovic is that weak link,

1473
01:18:00,976 --> 01:18:04,146
but right now she's definitely
vulnerable in this position.

1474
01:18:04,479 --> 01:18:07,649
[Vic] Certainly have the advantage
striking submissions,

1475
01:18:07,716 --> 01:18:09,918
that being Baszler and Lola Vice.

1476
01:18:09,985 --> 01:18:11,453
But there you see Natalya.

1477
01:18:11,520 --> 01:18:12,421
[crowd chanting]

1478
01:18:12,487 --> 01:18:14,389
[Vic] When you try to match desire,
you try to match spirit,

1479
01:18:14,456 --> 01:18:15,791
and you try to match heart,

1480
01:18:15,857 --> 01:18:20,295
you gotta give those attributes to
Natalya and to Karmen Petrovic.

1481
01:18:20,362 --> 01:18:24,466
And Petrovic a long way away
from her partner.

1482
01:18:24,533 --> 01:18:27,035
She's got to figure out a way
to navigate her way free.

1483
01:18:27,102 --> 01:18:29,337
[Booker] She's in a very tough spot
right now,

1484
01:18:29,404 --> 01:18:31,606
but she's just going to have
to fight her way out of it.

1485
01:18:31,673 --> 01:18:34,342
[Vic] Up, got caught.

1486
01:18:34,509 --> 01:18:38,213
Baszler coming right back in, sweeping
the leg. And into another cover.

1487
01:18:38,280 --> 01:18:42,517
Go, Shayna Baszler. And another kick out.
And Baszler not in a good mood.

1488
01:18:43,452 --> 01:18:47,856
She was eliminated two weeks ago
from the Queen of the Ring tournament.

1489
01:18:48,023 --> 01:18:51,359
Looking to take her aggression
out on Karmen Petrovic

1490
01:18:51,426 --> 01:18:53,161
as she makes a tag with Lola Vice.

1491
01:18:53,228 --> 01:18:58,567
And it just seems right now that
Vice and Baszler are having their way.

1492
01:18:58,633 --> 01:19:01,570
[Booker] It's all about control.
Right now I'm looking at Shayna B.

1493
01:19:01,636 --> 01:19:03,271
She looks very comfortable.

1494
01:19:03,872 --> 01:19:06,975
[Booker laughs] We can't say enough
about Lola Vice.

1495
01:19:07,042 --> 01:19:09,377
Putting a little spice on it right there.

1496
01:19:09,444 --> 01:19:12,848
Add the hot Cholula green
to the situation.

1497
01:19:15,417 --> 01:19:17,686
[Vic] Back in. And again,
going to the midsection.

1498
01:19:17,753 --> 01:19:18,754
[Booker] Yes!

1499
01:19:19,688 --> 01:19:23,759
[Vic] Another tag was made.
And these are quick effective tags

1500
01:19:23,825 --> 01:19:26,027
from Baszler and Lola Vice.

1501
01:19:26,094 --> 01:19:30,766
It shows the work that they've been
putting in as a team, as a unit.

1502
01:19:30,832 --> 01:19:32,934
[Booker] Tag team tandem right now, Vic

1503
01:19:33,668 --> 01:19:36,271
[Vic] Big suplex, float over,
hook of the leg.

1504
01:19:36,338 --> 01:19:38,840
And Booker, you just seem
that it's a matter of time.

1505
01:19:38,907 --> 01:19:42,477
Karmen Petrovic is not going
to quit in this matchup.

1506
01:19:42,544 --> 01:19:47,115
The official may have to step in at some
point and really talk to Petrovic

1507
01:19:47,182 --> 01:19:49,684
because she's being bent,
she's being beaten.

1508
01:19:49,751 --> 01:19:54,222
She right now is at the pure will
of what Shayna Baszler wants to do.

1509
01:19:54,289 --> 01:19:57,492
[Booker] You say that the referee has
to think about having the wherewithal,

1510
01:19:57,559 --> 01:20:00,428
the understanding, and know-how
to do his job,

1511
01:20:00,495 --> 01:20:03,632
and that may be stopping this contest.

1512
01:20:04,966 --> 01:20:08,804
[Vic] Right back, dragging her away
from Natalya, Shayna Baszler,

1513
01:20:08,870 --> 01:20:12,240
and Petrovic right now, you see the welts
forming on her body,

1514
01:20:12,307 --> 01:20:14,176
but that's not stopping her heart
from pumping.

1515
01:20:14,242 --> 01:20:16,444
Makes the tag! And it comes the BOAT.

1516
01:20:16,511 --> 01:20:20,749
Here comes the Guinness
world record holder, Natalya.

1517
01:20:21,550 --> 01:20:24,619
[Booker] Big shots.
Big shots by Natalya.

1518
01:20:25,487 --> 01:20:29,024
[Vic] Natalya has heard it
from all around the world.

1519
01:20:29,090 --> 01:20:30,592
[Booker] Trying to make up
some ground right now.

1520
01:20:30,659 --> 01:20:32,360
[Vic] Right now she is
unlike any superstar

1521
01:20:32,427 --> 01:20:35,764
that has ever signed,
entered or competed in the WWE.

1522
01:20:35,831 --> 01:20:38,233
A superstar continues to evolve.

1523
01:20:38,300 --> 01:20:39,935
[Booker] Yeah, she's happy about that.

1524
01:20:40,001 --> 01:20:45,607
Seemed like the hypocrisy
of Natalya has no bounds. Here we go!

1525
01:20:46,241 --> 01:20:48,643
[Vic] With a little extra help,
Lola was able to counter.

1526
01:20:48,710 --> 01:20:50,212
-[Booker] Beautiful counter.
-[Vic] Nice arm track.

1527
01:20:50,278 --> 01:20:51,246
-Back up!
-[Booker] Wow!

1528
01:20:51,313 --> 01:20:53,949
[Vic] Down goes Vice from Natalya.

1529
01:20:55,283 --> 01:20:56,852
Into the cover, how…

1530
01:20:56,918 --> 01:21:00,722
I was about to say how good
that would feel for Natalya

1531
01:21:00,789 --> 01:21:05,193
to be able to pin Lola Vice after--
Bam! That big Larian.

1532
01:21:05,260 --> 01:21:08,897
Because we can't forget it was Lola Vice
who defeated Natalya.

1533
01:21:08,964 --> 01:21:11,733
[Booker] Natalya's asking karma
to come on, let's get this done.

1534
01:21:11,800 --> 01:21:12,634
I need you.

1535
01:21:12,701 --> 01:21:14,302
[Vic] Vice all by herself.

1536
01:21:14,369 --> 01:21:18,106
Petrovic trying to get her footing,
trying to get to her feet.

1537
01:21:18,173 --> 01:21:22,510
Trying to fly with on a high cross body
into the cover. Will it be enough?

1538
01:21:22,577 --> 01:21:26,214
And, oh, Vice able to kick out.
And you just look at Petrovic.

1539
01:21:26,281 --> 01:21:27,782
She wants this so bad.

1540
01:21:27,849 --> 01:21:30,018
She has taken such a beating
in this matchup.

1541
01:21:30,085 --> 01:21:31,953
Back into the corner for Natalya.

1542
01:21:32,020 --> 01:21:35,423
Natalya's a ring general out there
right now. She's calling the shots

1543
01:21:35,490 --> 01:21:37,792
-[Booker] Oh! Wow!
-[Vic] Coming in from behind!

1544
01:21:37,859 --> 01:21:39,294
Behind the knee, inside cradle.

1545
01:21:39,361 --> 01:21:41,830
Natalya's shoulder's down,
able to kick out.

1546
01:21:41,897 --> 01:21:45,100
That could be the deciding factor
in this matchup.

1547
01:21:45,166 --> 01:21:48,370
Looking for the sharpshooter,
but right back up goes Baszler

1548
01:21:48,436 --> 01:21:52,841
who got caught with an elbow, but got
caught with a back fist. Natalya's out.

1549
01:21:52,907 --> 01:21:54,542
-Petrovic saves.
-[Booker] Whoa!

1550
01:21:56,645 --> 01:21:58,546
-[Vic] What a main event.
-[Booker] Didn't see that coming.

1551
01:21:58,613 --> 01:22:01,182
-I thought Petrovic was out
-[Vic] All the way on NXT.

1552
01:22:02,284 --> 01:22:03,351
[Shayna] Pick her up.

1553
01:22:04,552 --> 01:22:06,688
[Vic] Baszler done messing around
in this matchup.

1554
01:22:06,755 --> 01:22:08,723
Baszler now the ring general.

1555
01:22:08,790 --> 01:22:12,294
Baszler now the quarterback.
Baszler reached out for the tag.

1556
01:22:12,460 --> 01:22:15,597
Not gonna be able to get it.
Just gets dropped by Natalya.

1557
01:22:16,598 --> 01:22:17,899
-Oh!
-[Booker] Wow.

1558
01:22:19,367 --> 01:22:22,971
Just ran into that shot, which added a
lot of extra move.

1559
01:22:23,038 --> 01:22:25,507
Big took. Oh, yes! Man!

1560
01:22:25,674 --> 01:22:28,376
[Vic] Talking about momentum,
I see you moving to my right

1561
01:22:28,443 --> 01:22:31,646
as Lola Vice trying to lock in
the sharpshooter.

1562
01:22:31,713 --> 01:22:33,615
Natalya trying to block it.

1563
01:22:33,682 --> 01:22:37,118
Natalya doing anything she can.
Yes, she did. Natalya to her feet.

1564
01:22:37,185 --> 01:22:39,087
[Booker] Bad position. Bad position. Vic.

1565
01:22:39,154 --> 01:22:41,156
[Vic] Lola trying to hook. Couldn't do it.

1566
01:22:41,222 --> 01:22:43,992
Sharpshooters locked in,
center of the ring.

1567
01:22:44,059 --> 01:22:47,595
Nowhere for Lola to go.
Vice is gonna have to tap.

1568
01:22:48,296 --> 01:22:51,433
Lola. There's Baszler.
Baszler from behind.

1569
01:22:51,499 --> 01:22:52,534
[Booker] Big shot.

1570
01:22:52,600 --> 01:22:55,337
[Vic] But now there's Petrovic.
One more top.

1571
01:22:56,037 --> 01:23:00,175
Couldn't take down Baszler.
And Shayna Baszler careful to clutch.

1572
01:23:00,375 --> 01:23:04,846
Baszler has taken this matchup over
by herself until just moments ago.

1573
01:23:04,913 --> 01:23:07,649
[Booker] That's a big learn
from that first time being locked in.

1574
01:23:07,716 --> 01:23:12,354
[Vic] Do you hear Petrovic? She's
screaming "Natalya." Petrovic realizes

1575
01:23:12,987 --> 01:23:15,790
Baszler on the outside
might be wiped out for a moment.

1576
01:23:16,257 --> 01:23:18,727
This is the opportunity now.

1577
01:23:19,427 --> 01:23:22,497
Put your foot on the gas. Tag was made.

1578
01:23:24,599 --> 01:23:29,504
-Booker, take a look! It's a Hart attack!
-[Booker] Whoa! You can't beat that.

1579
01:23:29,571 --> 01:23:31,239
-[Vic] The Hart attack!
-[Booker] You can't beat it.

1580
01:23:31,306 --> 01:23:33,675
-[Vic] Petrovic pins Lola Vice!
-[bell rings]

1581
01:23:34,976 --> 01:23:36,244
[Mike Rome] Here are your winners.

1582
01:23:36,311 --> 01:23:41,883
The team of Natalya and Karmen Petrovic!

1583
01:23:44,219 --> 01:23:48,089
[Vic] How good this must feel

1584
01:23:48,823 --> 01:23:52,260
for that duo. Take a look at this punch.

1585
01:23:52,327 --> 01:23:56,064
Oh, you talk about rib breaking.
Natalya held nothing.

1586
01:23:56,631 --> 01:24:01,202
And they went deep into the playbook
of the Hart family

1587
01:24:01,269 --> 01:24:04,205
with that patented Hart attack.

1588
01:24:04,272 --> 01:24:08,476
It's Petrovic picks up
the victory here tonight on NXT.

1589
01:24:09,878 --> 01:24:11,579
They wanted to end it.

1590
01:24:13,348 --> 01:24:17,419
They wanted to take the fight
to Baszler and Vice.

1591
01:24:17,485 --> 01:24:22,490
And that's exactly what Petrovic
and Natalya did tonight.

1592
01:24:33,902 --> 01:24:35,036
[crowd exclaims]

1593
01:24:35,403 --> 01:24:36,404
[Vic] Hey!

1594
01:24:37,305 --> 01:24:40,742
-Lola just dropped Shayna Baszler.
-[crowd booing]

1595
01:24:46,014 --> 01:24:47,882
[inaudible]

1596
01:24:51,920 --> 01:24:54,289
[Vic] And then let her know about it.

1597
01:25:01,529 --> 01:25:02,730
Uh-oh.

1598
01:25:04,632 --> 01:25:06,101
Kirifuda Clutch.

1599
01:25:07,235 --> 01:25:09,537
This partnership certainly is over.

1600
01:25:11,573 --> 01:25:13,708
Baszler taking Vice down.

1601
01:25:14,809 --> 01:25:18,613
Referees, we're going to need
more than the referees out here.

1602
01:25:18,913 --> 01:25:21,282
[referees talking indistinctly]

1603
01:25:21,349 --> 01:25:23,017
[Vic] Separate these two!

1604
01:25:26,488 --> 01:25:28,790
NXT universe going nuts!

1605
01:25:39,134 --> 01:25:43,004
Whoa, whoa, whoa. Okay, okay, okay.

1606
01:25:43,404 --> 01:25:47,575
Look, it's clear
that both of you are looking for a fight.

1607
01:25:47,876 --> 01:25:50,979
And to be honest,
I kind of want to see it, too.

1608
01:25:51,045 --> 01:25:53,982
So you want this? Say less.

1609
01:25:54,048 --> 01:25:56,851
You can do this at Battleground.

1610
01:25:57,318 --> 01:25:58,586
[crowd cheering]

1611
01:26:01,055 --> 01:26:02,056
Nah.

1612
01:26:04,726 --> 01:26:06,628
NXT Underground.

1613
01:26:08,830 --> 01:26:09,631
[Vic] Booker.

1614
01:26:09,697 --> 01:26:15,603
It looks like Sin City will be headed
to the underground inside the UFC Apex.

1615
01:26:15,870 --> 01:26:18,840
These two are gonna rip each other apart
at NXT Battleground.
