number one contender Battle Royal!

9

[Victor] Well, Mike Rome's right.
Number one contender winner

[crowd chanting] I believe in Joe Hendry!

Say his name and he appears.
Joe Hendry is here in NXT.

[crowd cheering]

18
00:02:08,094 --> 00:02:12,799
Cody Rhodes announced this Battle Royal
was going to be 25 men,

19
00:02:12,866 --> 00:02:18,271
but let's be honest,
it's 24 men and one sensation.

20
00:02:18,338 --> 00:02:22,575
That's because
I'm going to walk down to that ring,

21
00:02:22,642 --> 00:02:25,078
eliminate every single one of you,

22
00:02:25,144 --> 00:02:28,648
go on to become NXT champion

23
00:02:28,715 --> 00:02:32,018
and bring it back to TNA!

24
00:02:35,955 --> 00:02:38,925
And when the title changes hands,

25
00:02:38,992 --> 00:02:43,930
the entire WWE universe
will be chanting,

26
00:02:43,997 --> 00:02:45,999

[crowd] In Joe Hendry!

And what they believe in
is 252 pounds of pure motivation.

29
00:02:56,576 --> 00:02:59,245
The answer to all life's problems.

30
00:02:59,312 --> 00:03:01,814
They believe in Joe!

Hendry!

[Victor] Booker, perhaps the most trending
wrestler in the world,

34
00:03:10,723 --> 00:03:11,624
is here right now.

-No. Do you believe it?

[Victor] What I believe in is
two weeks from Sunday

00:03:43,456 --> 00:03:46,392
the winner of this match
challenges Trick Williams.

40
00:03:46,459 --> 00:03:47,460

41
00:03:51,564 --> 00:03:52,966
Way to, Booker.

On site Oro going right and eat the…

43
00:03:56,236 --> 00:03:57,971
[Booker] That's my man.

44
00:03:58,037 --> 00:04:01,074
[Victor] What is it gonna take
to keep these two separated?

45
00:04:01,140 --> 00:04:03,142
[Booker laughing] Oh yeah!

46
00:04:04,811 --> 00:04:07,513
[Victor] But the bell is sounding.
This one's official.

47
00:04:07,580 --> 00:04:09,115
Look at all the bodies.

48
00:04:09,816 --> 00:04:12,785
And don't adjust your set
at the field you see.

49
00:04:12,852 --> 00:04:15,221
[Booker] Joe Hendry. Hendry, that's right?

50
00:04:15,288 --> 00:04:22,028
-Joe Hendry? He wants to… Oh, he got it.
-Oh, he got it. He's been eliminated.

51
00:04:22,095 --> 00:04:25,098
[Victor] And he was eliminated
by Frankie Kazarian.

52

-[Booker] You gotta be kidding me.
-[Victor] From TNA, LWO's Dragon Lee,

00:04:29,769 --> 00:04:33,539
former North American champion's here.
Angel, Humberto, Apollo Crews,

54
00:04:33,606 --> 00:04:34,674
Tyler Bate from Raw.

55
00:04:34,741 --> 00:04:39,612
And indeed, locker rooms
from all over represented here right now.

56
00:04:39,679 --> 00:04:43,549
[Booker] Talk about Money in the Bank,
but this is their Money in the Bank.

57
00:04:43,616 --> 00:04:46,119
A shot at the championship.

58
00:04:46,185 --> 00:04:48,655
Trick Williams, you better be ready, son.

59
00:04:48,721 --> 00:04:50,957
There's "the Don."
The Heritage Cup champion.

60
00:04:51,024 --> 00:04:55,294
"The Don" would love another opportunity
at the gold of his last stand

61
00:04:55,361 --> 00:04:57,630
and deliver the biggest one of all time,

62
00:04:58,531 --> 00:05:01,601
But Don, wait a minute.
It wasn't enough.

63
00:05:02,301 --> 00:05:04,237
It wasn't enough.

64
00:05:05,805 --> 00:05:09,409
That's the wrong place
at the wrong time for Edris.

65
00:05:09,475 --> 00:05:11,110
There's more bad luck.

66
00:05:12,545 --> 00:05:15,248
[Booker] Definitely took the worst
of that right there.

67
00:05:15,315 --> 00:05:18,651
"The Don" looking to cash in here tonight.

68
00:05:19,318 --> 00:05:22,889
[Victor] Lexis King, on the near side,
Tyler Bate, as we mentioned, teetering.

69
00:05:22,955 --> 00:05:27,360
No stranger to Joe Coffey of Gallus,
Charlie Dempsey's in there as well.

70
00:05:27,427 --> 00:05:30,163
You see also Shawn Spears, Myles Borne.

71
00:05:30,229 --> 00:05:32,832
-[Booker] Who's your favorite?
-I don't pick. That's your job.

72
00:05:32,899 --> 00:05:36,736
[Victor] You sit in that seat
I do know is that we got two fan favorites

73
00:05:36,803 --> 00:05:39,439
coming up for the NXT Women's
North American Championship.

74
00:05:39,505 --> 00:05:41,941
Kelani Jordan defending
that title for the very first time.

75
00:05:42,008 --> 00:05:44,911
But what is your game plan
for these sort of matches?

76
00:05:46,112 --> 00:05:48,314
Yeah, exactly. Got to go stealth.

77
00:05:48,381 --> 00:05:51,284
You got to pick your spots
in matches like this.

78
00:05:51,351 --> 00:05:52,852
But there is a caveat.

79
00:05:52,919 --> 00:05:55,855
How many eliminations can you get
in a match up like this?

80
00:05:56,356 --> 00:05:59,759
[Victor] You saw Apollo Crews
in there as well. There's Eddy Thorpe.

81
00:05:59,826 --> 00:06:01,794
Eddy Thorpe would love
a championship opportunity.

82
00:06:01,861 --> 00:06:05,798
Oh, and just like that,
the opportunity is over.

83
00:06:05,865 --> 00:06:10,236
Shawn Spears with an elimination
and another one gone.

84
00:06:10,303 --> 00:06:13,039
[Booker] Eddy Thorpe is
about one on one competition.

85
00:06:13,106 --> 00:06:15,141
I get it. Not his forte.

86
00:06:15,208 --> 00:06:17,043
It wasn't my forte either.

87
00:06:17,543 --> 00:06:20,446
I want to talk about Je'Von Evans,
who's in there somewhere

88
00:06:20,513 --> 00:06:21,881
in this massive humanity

89
00:06:21,948 --> 00:06:24,517
is still banged up from catching the point
of our announce desk

90
00:06:24,584 --> 00:06:25,952
into his ribs last week.

91
00:06:26,018 --> 00:06:30,056
You can't forget how the top of our desk
was removed because of--

92
00:06:30,123 --> 00:06:32,625
-[Booker] Oh, man.
-I do not want to talk about it.

93
00:06:32,692 --> 00:06:34,894
There is a bullseye though
on the young OG

94
00:06:34,961 --> 00:06:36,829
as you see the field right now

95
00:06:36,896 --> 00:06:40,066
and you see trending
number one, it is NXT.

96
00:06:40,133 --> 00:06:42,635
Because one of these men
will head to Toronto.

97
00:06:42,702 --> 00:06:46,472
The first premium live event for NXT
to take place in the Great White North,

98
00:06:46,539 --> 00:06:48,107
I believe, since 2019.

99
00:06:48,174 --> 00:06:51,411
Tickets on sale now at ticketmaster.ca.

100
00:06:51,477 --> 00:06:54,580
And what's going through
Trick Williams' mind right now, Book?

101
00:06:54,647 --> 00:06:56,949
Working on his playbook.

102
00:06:57,016 --> 00:06:59,485
I've been talking to Trick
on a regular basis.

103
00:06:59,552 --> 00:07:01,487
He's just waiting in the weeds.

104
00:07:01,554 --> 00:07:03,790
Who is it going to be?
That's the question.

105
00:07:03,856 --> 00:07:05,691
[Victor] Well, you saw Shawn Spears

106
00:07:05,758 --> 00:07:07,527
throwing some right hands with Tank

107
00:07:07,593 --> 00:07:10,696
and the undisputed champion, Cody Rhodes.

108
00:07:10,997 --> 00:07:14,767
It was Shawn Spears who told Rhodes,
"I will win this match up."

109
00:07:14,834 --> 00:07:16,903
"I will get my championship opportunity."

110
00:07:16,969 --> 00:07:19,305
But Charlie Dempsey right now
is teetering.

111
00:07:19,372 --> 00:07:20,973
Malik Blade looking for the…

112
00:07:21,607 --> 00:07:23,910
possible elimination right here
in front of us.

113
00:07:23,976 --> 00:07:25,278
We got a great view of it.

114
00:07:26,212 --> 00:07:27,580
It's coming… Oh!

115
00:07:27,647 --> 00:07:29,849
Damon Kemp! Oh!

116
00:07:31,317 --> 00:07:32,318
Bro!

117
00:07:33,486 --> 00:07:34,454
What are you doing?

118
00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:37,990
[Booker] That was accident!

119
00:07:39,025 --> 00:07:40,326
Come on, guys!

120
00:07:42,728 --> 00:07:44,831
[Victor] Booker, they took their eye off.

121
00:07:44,897 --> 00:07:49,435
And Frankie Kazarian
with his second and third elimination.

122
00:07:49,502 --> 00:07:51,804
[Booker] That's the caveat
I was talking about.

123
00:07:51,871 --> 00:07:54,240
Frankie Kazarian right now is rolling.

124
00:07:54,307 --> 00:07:57,276
Kazarian was once dubbed
"the future of WWE."

125
00:07:57,343 --> 00:07:59,812
Somebody actually you shared
the locker room with.

126
00:07:59,879 --> 00:08:00,947
[Booker] Yes, I mean.

127
00:08:01,447 --> 00:08:06,319
I mean, his career definitely
has turned out to be pretty, pretty good.

128
00:08:06,385 --> 00:08:09,922
But right now it could be
a whole lot better with a win tonight.

129
00:08:09,989 --> 00:08:12,992
[Victor] The field starting to show.
Look at Apollo Crews

130
00:08:13,059 --> 00:08:17,263
who's had his issues
with Legado Del Fantasma,

131
00:08:17,330 --> 00:08:19,265
including Santos Escobar.

132
00:08:19,332 --> 00:08:20,733
In Scotland a week ago.

133
00:08:22,068 --> 00:08:23,703
A week ago this past Friday.

134
00:08:23,769 --> 00:08:25,838
Seems like a week,
Clash of the Castle.

135
00:08:25,905 --> 00:08:27,874
[Booker] Oh, Apollo.

136
00:08:28,508 --> 00:08:30,877
-Wow.
-[Victor] Who is headed to Toronto?

137
00:08:30,943 --> 00:08:35,214
Who will be the number one contender
for the en NXT title at Heatwave?

138
00:08:38,518 --> 00:08:41,354
Booker, the NXT universe is standing.

139
00:08:42,321 --> 00:08:45,491
NXT is trending, bodies are flying.

140
00:08:45,558 --> 00:08:50,263
Who will be the number one contender
to Trick Williams

141
00:08:50,329 --> 00:08:51,664
and that NXT championship?

142
00:08:51,731 --> 00:08:54,867
-[Booker] Oh, wow!
-Oh, Dante Chen.

143
00:08:54,934 --> 00:08:56,536
So tough, Vic.

144
00:08:56,602 --> 00:08:58,037
[Victor] And you gotta go
over the top rope.

145
00:08:58,104 --> 00:09:01,507
Both your feet have to hit the floor
to be eliminated.

146
00:09:01,574 --> 00:09:02,808
Sent to the back.

147
00:09:03,843 --> 00:09:07,480
[Booker] Two young lions right there
battling for it. I love it.

148
00:09:07,547 --> 00:09:09,448
Oh!

149
00:09:09,515 --> 00:09:13,185
[Victor] Wow, the big bad brute
Ridge Holland.

150
00:09:16,455 --> 00:09:18,624
Ridge Holland doing what he needed to do.

151
00:09:18,691 --> 00:09:20,293
But talking about eliminations,

152
00:09:20,359 --> 00:09:24,163
here's the former North American champion.

153
00:09:24,230 --> 00:09:27,400
Dragon Lee.
Sending Joe Coffey up over and out.

154
00:09:27,466 --> 00:09:32,171
And not to be outdone, Shawn Spears
would take out Luca Crusifino,

155
00:09:32,705 --> 00:09:36,442
sacrifice himself so that "the Don"
can continue to fight.

156
00:09:36,509 --> 00:09:38,744
The Heritage Cup champion
is still in there

157
00:09:38,811 --> 00:09:41,414
looking to possibly have himself
another opportunity

158
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:42,915
at the NXT championship.

159
00:09:42,982 --> 00:09:46,152
But Shawn Spears right now
taking it to Dragon Lee.

160
00:09:46,218 --> 00:09:49,188
[Booker] Look at the men left
in this contest right here.

161
00:09:49,255 --> 00:09:52,124
One of these guys going to wake up
and they're going to be the guy

162
00:09:52,191 --> 00:09:53,693
to take on Trick Williams.

163
00:09:53,759 --> 00:09:56,929
I noticed Tyler Bate,
two time NXT UK champion,

164
00:09:56,996 --> 00:09:59,265
NXT tag team champion,
Heritage Cup champion.

165
00:09:59,332 --> 00:10:02,501
Cody said locker rooms might show up.
Bate, of course, from Raw

166
00:10:02,568 --> 00:10:05,938
is showing out right now
as there's a couple of guys from Smack Down

167
00:10:06,005 --> 00:10:08,674
who are getting ran over by a tank.

168
00:10:08,741 --> 00:10:12,979
[Booker] Yes, indeed.
Oh, man! That's that TV star.

169
00:10:13,045 --> 00:10:17,683
That's the TV star of all television, Vic.

170
00:10:17,750 --> 00:10:21,487
[Victor] Why would he help him,
though, just now to eliminate him?

171
00:10:22,021 --> 00:10:25,091
[Booker] Beautiful elimination
by the television star!

172
00:10:26,525 --> 00:10:29,929
[Victor] Lexis King, all smiles.

173
00:10:30,630 --> 00:10:32,365
Maybe not anymore.

174
00:10:37,103 --> 00:10:39,271
Oh, there's Angel and Garza.

175
00:10:39,338 --> 00:10:40,806
What an elimination.

176
00:10:40,873 --> 00:10:42,908
-[Booker] Whoa!
-Kicks out of here!

177
00:10:42,975 --> 00:10:45,111
-The hell?
-See you later, TV star.

178
00:10:45,177 --> 00:10:47,847
-[Booker] That was my pick!
-See you later, Angel.

179
00:10:48,214 --> 00:10:50,383
[Booker] Oh, can you imagine?

180
00:10:50,449 --> 00:10:55,421
if Tank Ledger slip on the banana peel
and win this thing, man.

181
00:10:55,488 --> 00:10:57,556
-You won a Battle Royal, right?
-Yes.

182
00:10:57,623 --> 00:10:59,291
You know what it's like to slip
on that banana peel.

183
00:10:59,358 --> 00:11:02,094
[Booker] Yes, indeed.
But that doesn't get you to that top,

184
00:11:02,161 --> 00:11:03,663
you got to cash in.

185
00:11:04,664 --> 00:11:08,701
[Victor] Round and round they go.
Where does it end for Tank?

186
00:11:08,768 --> 00:11:10,836
Only Tyler Bate knows.

187
00:11:10,903 --> 00:11:15,775
[Booker] Oh, can you imagine
what this feels like, Vic?

188
00:11:15,841 --> 00:11:20,680
[Victor] I'm just as dizzy sitting here.
I don't know how Tank is right now.

189
00:11:20,746 --> 00:11:23,549
-[crowd] Big strong boy!
-Big strong boy in control.

190
00:11:23,616 --> 00:11:27,453
And right now the only one
standing has eliminated Tank.

191
00:11:28,421 --> 00:11:31,690
That's what I was talking about.
Tyler Bate has been to the dance.

192
00:11:31,757 --> 00:11:33,959
He's been to the top of the mountain

193
00:11:34,026 --> 00:11:37,196
as he turns right around
and looks right at Tony D'Angelo.

194
00:11:37,263 --> 00:11:39,131
D'Angelo, big belly.

195
00:11:39,198 --> 00:11:43,869
-[Booker] Oh, man.
-Oh, big splash for Shawn Spears.

196
00:11:43,936 --> 00:11:46,572
[Victor] There's one half
of the tag team champions.

197
00:11:46,639 --> 00:11:48,441
Nathan Frazer just got caught,

198
00:11:49,141 --> 00:11:51,877
but you got to send him up and over.

199
00:11:55,181 --> 00:11:58,517
-It's able to hold out.
-[Booker] Skinning the cat.

200
00:11:58,584 --> 00:12:01,053
Whatever it is,
It's called survival too, right?

201
00:12:01,120 --> 00:12:03,022
[Booker] Yes, indeed. Oh!

202
00:12:03,089 --> 00:12:03,923
Oh, man!

203
00:12:03,989 --> 00:12:07,226
[Victor] Frazer's not only surviving,
Frazier is thriving.

204
00:12:07,560 --> 00:12:12,098
Able to get pushed up.
A little separation, but move like a bird.

205
00:12:12,164 --> 00:12:13,833
And strike like a cobra.

206
00:12:14,467 --> 00:12:16,135
D'Angelo's gone!

207
00:12:16,769 --> 00:12:19,472
Hanging on one more. How's he doing this?

208
00:12:19,538 --> 00:12:21,507
[Booker] That's called
skinning the cat.

209
00:12:21,574 --> 00:12:23,776
The first time, Booker,
it's called skinning the cat.

210
00:12:23,843 --> 00:12:27,079
-That's a double skin in the cat, right?
-Yeah.

211
00:12:27,146 --> 00:12:30,449
Thank you for the dynamite drop in, Monty.

212
00:12:30,516 --> 00:12:33,619
As we continue to fight
in this Battle Royal.

213
00:12:33,686 --> 00:12:35,888
-[Booker] What Action.
-[Victor] Up and over.

214
00:12:35,955 --> 00:12:38,257
-[Booker] Oh!
-[Victor] What a knee!

215
00:12:39,592 --> 00:12:42,194
[Victor] Dragon Lee is still alive.

216
00:12:45,564 --> 00:12:49,101
Six men now left after that elimination.

217
00:12:51,103 --> 00:12:52,505
One of these men…

218
00:12:53,439 --> 00:12:54,540
…heads to Canada.

219
00:12:54,607 --> 00:12:57,243
[Booker] Think about it.
Kazarian represents TNA.

220
00:12:57,309 --> 00:12:58,677
If he wins this thing,

221
00:12:58,744 --> 00:13:01,447
this would be
such a big moment for this young man.

222
00:13:01,514 --> 00:13:03,816
[Victor] This also be a big moment
for the LWO.

223
00:13:03,883 --> 00:13:07,686
If Ridge Holland were able to win,
it'd be a big moment for Chase University.

224
00:13:07,753 --> 00:13:11,824
-It's… Oh! Man.
-[Booker] Man!

225
00:13:11,891 --> 00:13:13,359
[Victor] A little teamwork!

226
00:13:13,425 --> 00:13:16,996
And sometimes teamwork
makes the dream work.

227
00:13:17,997 --> 00:13:19,865
Holland knees buckle.

228
00:13:20,499 --> 00:13:23,903
And maybe the biggest threat that was left
in Ridge Holland

229
00:13:23,969 --> 00:13:26,338
And Tyler Bate has dropped Dragon Lee.

230
00:13:28,474 --> 00:13:33,746
[Booker] DTA, Vic. DTA.
Don't touch anyone, man.

231
00:13:33,813 --> 00:13:37,516
[Victor] Bate is in control.
Spears got that boot up.

232
00:13:38,651 --> 00:13:40,819
And again, one of these men

233
00:13:40,886 --> 00:13:43,656
July 5th through the 7th,
Money in the Bank Weekend.

234
00:13:43,722 --> 00:13:45,791
We'll get the opportunity.

235
00:13:45,858 --> 00:13:47,359
And it's not going to be Bate.

236
00:13:47,426 --> 00:13:49,962
[Booker] And a move there by Shawn Spears.

237
00:13:50,029 --> 00:13:52,064
[Victor] Bate bites the dust.

238
00:13:52,131 --> 00:13:54,800
We're down to the final four.

239
00:13:54,867 --> 00:13:56,602
One man.

240
00:13:56,669 --> 00:14:01,574
Whether it's someone from the LWO,
from TNA or from NXT.

241
00:14:02,675 --> 00:14:04,243
Who's headed to Toronto?

242
00:14:04,310 --> 00:14:07,146
Who's heading
to the NXT Championship match?

243
00:14:07,213 --> 00:14:09,014
Who's headed to face Trick Williams?

244
00:14:09,081 --> 00:14:11,483
[Booker] One of these guys
is gonna get a guaranteed shot

245
00:14:11,550 --> 00:14:12,885
at the champ, Vic.

246
00:14:12,952 --> 00:14:14,019
Who is it gonna be?

247
00:14:14,086 --> 00:14:16,121
[Victor] You brought up Kazarian
earlier in this match up.

248
00:14:16,188 --> 00:14:18,557
You talked about a man
who is a pillar of TNA,

249
00:14:18,624 --> 00:14:20,426
what it would mean for him,

250
00:14:20,492 --> 00:14:23,229
what it would mean to represent
TNA at Heatwave.

251
00:14:23,295 --> 00:14:25,197
-But Shawn Spears!
-[Booker] Oh!

252
00:14:25,264 --> 00:14:28,434
[Victor] For the elimination,
able to hold on.

253
00:14:28,500 --> 00:14:31,637
Okey-doke, put a big leg drop.

254
00:14:31,704 --> 00:14:33,906
Spears is rock.
Big super kick from Dragon Lee.

255
00:14:33,973 --> 00:14:35,975
[Booker] Don't charge it back, Kazarian.

256
00:14:36,709 --> 00:14:39,111
[Victor] How is Evans
still performing right now?

257
00:14:39,178 --> 00:14:42,448
Being able to compete?
Banged up ribs from last week.

258
00:14:42,514 --> 00:14:44,783
It's been hard to breathe,
but he was cleared.

259
00:14:44,850 --> 00:14:47,253
Big Irish rip! Holy crap!

260
00:14:47,319 --> 00:14:49,889
[Booker] You got to be kidding me.

261
00:14:50,990 --> 00:14:51,991
[Victor] We're down…

262
00:14:53,392 --> 00:14:55,494
…to Evans and Lee.

263
00:14:55,561 --> 00:14:58,530
[Booker] Fighting this young man, Vic,
there's no quitting.

264
00:14:59,331 --> 00:15:04,737
One on one, man to man.
I love it, man!

265
00:15:07,740 --> 00:15:09,241
[Victor] 25 men,
different locker rooms,

266
00:15:09,308 --> 00:15:11,210
different brands, different companies.

267
00:15:11,277 --> 00:15:12,811
But only one will win.

268
00:15:12,878 --> 00:15:14,346
Only one will have that…

269
00:15:14,413 --> 00:15:17,483
Big German suplex!
Evans right back to his feet.

270
00:15:17,549 --> 00:15:18,918
Right back and snap!

271
00:15:18,984 --> 00:15:23,489
German on Dragon Lee.
Lee's fired up. LWO up and over.

272
00:15:23,555 --> 00:15:24,590
[Booker] Oh, Vic!

273
00:15:24,657 --> 00:15:27,493
[Victor] Booker.
You got to get him up and over the top.

274
00:15:27,559 --> 00:15:30,129
Feet have to hit the floor.

275
00:15:30,195 --> 00:15:33,265
Imagine the pain right now
shooting through the body of Evans.

276
00:15:33,332 --> 00:15:35,567
As you hear the NXT universe.

277
00:15:35,634 --> 00:15:39,705
[crowd chanting] NXT!

278
00:15:41,340 --> 00:15:44,710
[Booker] Dragon Lee right there
just softening up the young OG,

279
00:15:44,777 --> 00:15:47,112
Especially after a hard week last week.

280
00:15:47,179 --> 00:15:49,281
-[Booker] Oh no!
-[Victor] Hard go up over.

281
00:15:49,348 --> 00:15:51,984
And the referee said Dragon Lee is…

282
00:15:52,051 --> 00:15:54,119
Where did Shawn Spears come from?

283
00:15:54,186 --> 00:15:55,654
[Booker] That was legal.

284
00:15:55,721 --> 00:15:57,790
[Victor] I thought Spears was eliminated.

285
00:15:58,324 --> 00:16:03,729
-And Spears like a snake slithering in.
-[Booker] He never went over the top, Vic.

286
00:16:04,763 --> 00:16:05,831
[Victor] Spears…

287
00:16:05,898 --> 00:16:09,034
Oh, Je'Von Evans,
he's got a little bit of fight left.

288
00:16:09,101 --> 00:16:10,135
Evans coming in.

289
00:16:10,202 --> 00:16:13,072
Evans is now teetering.
Evans up and over his feet.

290
00:16:13,138 --> 00:16:16,809
It's right here in front of us, too.
Spears finding a way on the knuckles,

291
00:16:16,875 --> 00:16:18,577
trying to break the grip of Evans.

292
00:16:18,644 --> 00:16:23,349
Somehow the young OG trying to bounce back
into this match up. Gets caught.

293
00:16:24,016 --> 00:16:25,417
-Oh!
-[Booker] Talk about…

294
00:16:25,484 --> 00:16:27,152
-Oh!
-[Victor] Last week…

295
00:16:27,853 --> 00:16:31,290
Spears got the upper hand,
but Spears tonight does not.

296
00:16:31,357 --> 00:16:32,758
Oh, he hung out again.

297
00:16:32,825 --> 00:16:34,226
Damn, that was close.

298
00:16:34,293 --> 00:16:37,896
Evans back in now
trading blows between these two

299
00:16:37,963 --> 00:16:40,032
to become the number one contender.

300
00:16:40,099 --> 00:16:43,435
And a little bit
of breathing room for Spears.

301
00:16:44,336 --> 00:16:48,707
Spears trying to bounce.
Oh, Spears got caught.

302
00:16:49,375 --> 00:16:52,644
-[Victor] He ain't bouncy.
-[Booker] Oh, my goodness.

303
00:16:53,712 --> 00:16:57,282
The young OG,
riding the wave of momentum.

304
00:16:57,349 --> 00:16:59,918
Evans is going to Heatwave.

305
00:17:01,687 --> 00:17:05,958
[announcer] Here is your winner
and the number one contender

306
00:17:06,024 --> 00:17:08,961
to the NXT Championship,

307
00:17:09,028 --> 00:17:14,600
Je'Von Evans!

308
00:17:15,768 --> 00:17:18,771
[Victor] What a man.
I mean, go back to Joe Hendry.

309
00:17:18,837 --> 00:17:21,040
Say his name, he shall appear.

310
00:17:21,106 --> 00:17:24,676
But he wasn't there long.
The first elimination

311
00:17:25,711 --> 00:17:27,613
Later on in the match up,

312
00:17:27,679 --> 00:17:30,516
Damon Kemp
accidentally eliminated Charlie Dempsey,

313
00:17:30,582 --> 00:17:34,386
got into an argument
and was eliminated by Kazarian from NXT.

314
00:17:34,453 --> 00:17:36,021
Excuse me, from TNA.

315
00:17:36,088 --> 00:17:38,690
Then NXT's superstar Je'Von Evans

316
00:17:38,757 --> 00:17:40,959
would get taken out by Dragon Lee,

317
00:17:41,026 --> 00:17:43,128
who would be eliminated by Shawn Spears.

318
00:17:43,195 --> 00:17:46,098
And then right here was Evans,
who was able to bounce back

319
00:17:46,165 --> 00:17:47,099
in this match up,

320
00:17:47,166 --> 00:17:48,634
outlast everyone,

321
00:17:48,700 --> 00:17:51,804
outlast all the different brands,
the different companies

322
00:17:51,870 --> 00:17:56,375
to become the number one contender.

323
00:17:59,845 --> 00:18:04,349
Because the young OG looks to become
the youngest NXT champion ever.

324
00:18:04,416 --> 00:18:08,520
Evans, Williams, NXT Heatwave in Toronto.

325
00:18:12,124 --> 00:18:13,892
-I think it's such an inspiration.
-I know.

326
00:18:13,959 --> 00:18:16,195
-I hope she beats Michin tonight.
-Me too.

327
00:18:16,261 --> 00:18:17,896
But think about it. One day,

328
00:18:17,963 --> 00:18:21,433
winning the North American Championship
would be such a dream.

329
00:18:21,500 --> 00:18:24,002
-#GOALS.
-Most definitely.

330
00:18:24,069 --> 00:18:25,504
You've got to be kidding me.

331
00:18:25,571 --> 00:18:27,272
You've had… What? One match?

332
00:18:27,339 --> 00:18:29,608
And think that you deserve
a title shot? No.

333
00:18:29,675 --> 00:18:32,945
If anyone deserves
a championship match around here, it's me.

334
00:18:33,011 --> 00:18:37,583
But didn't you have your chance
at Battleground in Vegas?

335
00:18:37,916 --> 00:18:41,553
-Fallon didn't come first.
-That's true.

336
00:18:41,620 --> 00:18:43,055
You can sit down.

337
00:18:43,121 --> 00:18:44,957
Out of everybody
in this locker room,

338
00:18:45,023 --> 00:18:47,326
I am the only one that deserves
a championship match.

339
00:18:47,392 --> 00:18:51,396
-Do you think you deserve a match?
-I most definitely do. I am ready.

340
00:18:51,463 --> 00:18:55,467
-I mean, I literally pinned low.
-I am so sick of all of you!

341
00:18:55,534 --> 00:18:58,537
[indistinct chatter]

342
00:19:07,179 --> 00:19:08,180
[Roxanne] Lola.

343
00:19:08,780 --> 00:19:09,982
Do you think I'm stupid?

344
00:19:10,048 --> 00:19:13,018
I saw the way you were looking
at my championship last week.

345
00:19:13,085 --> 00:19:14,353
And if you even think…

346
00:19:14,419 --> 00:19:18,490
Rox, yeah, I was, but I'm not
gonna pretend to be friends with you

347
00:19:18,557 --> 00:19:22,361
just to get close to that championship.
Mira, I'll tell you my plan.

348
00:19:22,427 --> 00:19:26,398
I'm gonna knock out every woman that gets
in the way of me and this opportunity.

349
00:19:26,465 --> 00:19:29,134
And that includes the four women
we're facing tonight.

350
00:19:29,201 --> 00:19:30,335
So don't worry.

351
00:19:30,936 --> 00:19:32,704
I'm not coming after you yet.

352
00:19:33,605 --> 00:19:35,307
Now, you ready to bring this heat?

353
00:19:36,875 --> 00:19:41,146
I don't expect you to understand this,
but as NXT Women's champion,

354
00:19:41,213 --> 00:19:44,616
I don't trust you. I don't trust anybody.

355
00:19:46,185 --> 00:19:47,619
Let's go handle business.

356
00:19:55,227 --> 00:19:57,129
Ridge, you might not have won
the Battle Royal.

357
00:19:57,196 --> 00:19:59,798
But you fought hard
and you represented Chase U well.

358
00:19:59,865 --> 00:20:00,666
You made us so proud.

359
00:20:00,732 --> 00:20:02,801
Yes. And two eliminations
at the same time.

360
00:20:02,868 --> 00:20:05,037
-Very impressive.
-Get out of here.

361
00:20:05,103 --> 00:20:09,141
Look. I got a message from Riley.
It says, "How about our mate Ridge?"

362
00:20:09,207 --> 00:20:10,576
Look at that.

363
00:20:10,642 --> 00:20:12,844
-Where is Riley anyway?
-Oh, he's in the UK.

364
00:20:12,911 --> 00:20:15,147
But when he gets back,
we'll be the best version of Chase U.

365
00:20:15,214 --> 00:20:17,749
-The world has ever seen.
-That's what I like to hear, Thea.

366
00:20:17,816 --> 00:20:20,419
-Look at us. Who would have thought?
-Not me.

367
00:20:20,485 --> 00:20:21,286
-I know.
-Not me.

368
00:20:21,353 --> 00:20:22,654
Guys.

369
00:20:22,721 --> 00:20:23,956
Fits like a glove.

370
00:20:26,425 --> 00:20:28,694
Well, you look at that machine gun?

371
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,330
Yeah, they finally accepted him.

372
00:20:31,396 --> 00:20:33,165
From a brute…

373
00:20:34,399 --> 00:20:35,701
-to a nerd.
-Nerd.

374
00:20:36,235 --> 00:20:39,371
It's very touching. I think I'm gonna cry.

375
00:20:40,405 --> 00:20:41,807
Guys, just ignore him.

376
00:20:41,873 --> 00:20:43,976
No, Ridge, we got this one.

377
00:20:44,042 --> 00:20:47,579
Yeah, if you two got a problem with Ridge,
then you got a problem with Chase U.

378
00:20:47,646 --> 00:20:48,580
Yeah, you do.

379
00:20:48,647 --> 00:20:51,049
So your little friends
are gonna fight your battles too, huh?

380
00:20:51,116 --> 00:20:52,317
-Yeah.
-The way I see it,

381
00:20:52,384 --> 00:20:53,952
if it's his battle, it's our battle.

382
00:20:54,019 --> 00:20:55,420
That's me.

383
00:20:55,487 --> 00:20:58,357
-You don't want none of this, kid.
-Thea.

384
00:20:58,423 --> 00:21:00,158
No, no, no, no. Don't say that.

385
00:21:00,225 --> 00:21:02,594
See what you talk. Thea, just breathe.

386
00:21:02,661 --> 00:21:04,830
-Kid?
-Don't worry. We're gonna handle it.

00:21:22,614 --> 00:21:27,319
[announcer] The following contest
is a Triple Threat tag team match

391
00:21:27,386 --> 00:21:29,354
scheduled for one fall.

392
00:21:29,421 --> 00:21:32,958
Introducing first, representing Meta Four,

393
00:21:33,025 --> 00:21:38,797
Jakara Jackson and Lash Legend!

394
00:21:38,864 --> 00:21:42,367
[Victor] I know, all joking aside,
we joke around a lot at the table.

395
00:21:42,434 --> 00:21:44,903
We argue a lot.
All joking aside, Meta Four…

396
00:21:45,570 --> 00:21:47,472
needs something good to happen, man.

397
00:21:47,539 --> 00:21:48,640
I mean, honestly,

398
00:21:48,874 --> 00:21:51,343
there's been a lot of bad
for Meta Four recently.

399
00:21:51,410 --> 00:21:53,145
They need something positive.

400
00:21:53,211 --> 00:21:57,249
[Booker] Rocky times for Meta Four,
What did you just say, Vic?

401
00:21:57,316 --> 00:22:00,252
[Victor] You could have just said
"Vic, I agree with you."

402

["One of a Kind" playing]

403
00:22:04,623 --> 00:22:11,196
Next, the team of Jacy Jayne
and Jazmyn Nyx!

404
00:22:11,263 --> 00:22:14,166
Well, there you see Jacy Jayne

405
00:22:14,232 --> 00:22:17,402
certainly looks more dashing this week

406
00:22:17,469 --> 00:22:18,637
along with Jazmyn Nyx.

407
00:22:18,704 --> 00:22:22,507
Undisputed WWE champion Cody Rhodes
gifted her that clear mask

408
00:22:22,574 --> 00:22:24,342
that you can see last week.

409
00:22:24,409 --> 00:22:26,645
And by the way, congratulations
to "the American Nightmare"

410
00:22:26,712 --> 00:22:29,348
who made A.J. Styles
say "I quit" in Scotland.

411
00:22:29,414 --> 00:22:31,983
but, Booker, this is
a Triple Threat match up.

412
00:22:32,050 --> 00:22:34,052
-Yes, it is.
-One fall to a finish.

413
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:39,558
[Booker] Jacy Jayne just adding
a little sup to the quadro.

414
00:22:39,624 --> 00:22:42,661
She's the rock star, man!

415
00:22:42,728 --> 00:22:44,429
[Victor] She seems to be a little…

416
00:22:44,996 --> 00:22:46,565
[Booker] She's bad.

417
00:22:46,631 --> 00:22:48,300
[Victor] Caressing that mask.

418
00:22:53,171 --> 00:22:54,506
Thought she was going to…

419
00:22:58,910 --> 00:23:03,381
She's certainly giving the mask
a great deal of this match up.

420
00:23:03,915 --> 00:23:06,918
["Te Lo Rompo" playing]

421
00:23:16,895 --> 00:23:21,066
[announcer] And their opponents.
The team of Lola Vice

422
00:23:21,133 --> 00:23:27,706
And the NXT Women's champion,
Roxanne Perez!

423
00:23:27,773 --> 00:23:29,741
[Booker] Give it up. Stand up.

424
00:23:29,808 --> 00:23:31,843
-Stand up!
-Will you let me talk?

425
00:23:31,910 --> 00:23:34,012
-[Booker] Yes!
-Yes, you will let me talk?

426
00:23:34,079 --> 00:23:35,981
-[Booker] Go right ahead.
-Well, these…

427
00:23:36,047 --> 00:23:37,315
[Booker] Marvelous team.

428
00:23:38,216 --> 00:23:40,519
[Victor] These two
just had a very interesting…

429
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:43,755
interaction. Wouldn't you say, Book?

430
00:23:43,822 --> 00:23:46,491
It is wise of Perez
to keep Lola Vice at arm's length.

431
00:23:46,558 --> 00:23:48,827
Do you not agree with that?
She's the champ.

432
00:23:48,894 --> 00:23:49,995
[Booker] Keep your friend close,

433
00:23:50,061 --> 00:23:53,865
but keep your enemies a whole lot closer.
And let me tell you something.

434
00:23:53,932 --> 00:23:57,002
Roxanne Perez, she said DTA, Vic.

435
00:23:57,068 --> 00:24:00,038
DTA. Don't trust anyone.

436
00:24:00,105 --> 00:24:03,108
[Victor] So you are the hype man
for this team, aren't you?

437
00:24:03,175 --> 00:24:06,511
[Booker] Am I team Vice? Team Perez?
Is that what you ask?

438
00:24:06,578 --> 00:24:07,712
[Victor] Are you the hype man?

439
00:24:07,779 --> 00:24:09,381
[Booker] Yes, I'm on the team.

440
00:24:09,447 --> 00:24:10,882
[Victor] I'm sure both
reached out to you this week

441
00:24:10,949 --> 00:24:13,852
for not only in ring
but maybe some dance tips as well.

442
00:24:13,919 --> 00:24:14,953
[Booker] I don't think so.

443
00:24:15,020 --> 00:24:17,823
[Victor] You changed the game
in that Bad Bunny venue.

444
00:24:17,889 --> 00:24:18,690
Keep it up.

445
00:24:18,757 --> 00:24:21,526
I was giving you props
as the shoulders are down.

446
00:24:22,894 --> 00:24:25,230
Shoulders down. One more time, crucifix.

447
00:24:25,297 --> 00:24:27,799
Shoulders out of Jane.
Perez trying to come in.

448
00:24:27,866 --> 00:24:30,535
She counters with a crucifix of her own.
And another near fall.

449
00:24:30,602 --> 00:24:33,972
This is Triple Threat rules.
As I mentioned, one fall to a finish.

450
00:24:34,039 --> 00:24:36,708
But Booker,
one competitor legal at all times

451
00:24:36,775 --> 00:24:40,078
from each individual team
as rolling through one more time.

452
00:24:40,145 --> 00:24:42,747
Another near fall,
and Jane just drops the champion.

453
00:24:42,814 --> 00:24:45,250
[Booker] The referee
is getting to work out.

454
00:24:45,317 --> 00:24:47,652
'Cause it's busy in here right now.

455
00:24:47,719 --> 00:24:51,523
Jakara Jackson right now
off of a little wrist injury.

456
00:24:51,590 --> 00:24:53,325
Looking real good right now, Vic.

457
00:24:53,391 --> 00:24:55,894
[Victor] I will agree with that, too.
And there comes Lash Legend,

458
00:24:55,961 --> 00:24:59,998
who was dropped through a ladder
by all the participants in Vegas

459
00:25:00,065 --> 00:25:03,034
in that Women's North American
Championship match.

460
00:25:03,101 --> 00:25:05,270
Of which, by the way,
Kelani's first defense

461
00:25:05,337 --> 00:25:08,506
of that Women's North American title
still to come here tonight.

462
00:25:08,573 --> 00:25:11,977
But Lash Legend showing
her strength right now.

463
00:25:13,078 --> 00:25:15,547
Jayne and Perez.

464
00:25:15,614 --> 00:25:17,315
[Booker] Ring my bell.

465
00:25:17,382 --> 00:25:18,917
[Victor] Almost like a double dribble.

466
00:25:21,820 --> 00:25:24,556
Lash Legend. Gotta imagine
she's very frustrated right now.

467
00:25:24,623 --> 00:25:27,425
You talking about Meta Four
needing to step up right now.

468
00:25:27,492 --> 00:25:31,329
Lash Legend is doing just that, Vic.
Oh, no. Whoa!

469
00:25:31,396 --> 00:25:33,598
[Victor] Nice take down by Jane
after hurricanrana.

470
00:25:33,665 --> 00:25:35,734
In comes Jazmyn Nyx.

471
00:25:35,800 --> 00:25:39,170
What a kick. Into the cover.
And Jackson breaking things up.

472
00:25:39,237 --> 00:25:44,042
And look, I will say that Jazmyn Nyx
has been very loyal to Jacy Jayne.

473
00:25:44,109 --> 00:25:47,012
Stood up for her,
had quite the vendetta towards Thea Hail.

474
00:25:47,078 --> 00:25:48,380
-Can I say this?
-Go ahead.

475
00:25:48,446 --> 00:25:51,016
[Booker] Jazmyn Nyx,
she has star written all over.

476
00:25:51,082 --> 00:25:55,654
-When I say star, I mean star, baby.
-You tell me she passes the airport test?

477
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:58,323
-Yeah!
-[Victor] And a nice submission, though,

478
00:25:58,390 --> 00:26:00,792
locked in by Perez.
You gotta wonder if that's a message

479
00:26:00,859 --> 00:26:03,628
being sent to Lola Vice,
who just tagged herself into the match up

480
00:26:03,695 --> 00:26:06,031
not realizing it was Lash.

481
00:26:06,097 --> 00:26:09,134
And you talk about strikes and kicks.
There's Lola Vice.

482
00:26:09,200 --> 00:26:13,572
And Vice brought her A game
in Underground at Battleground.

483
00:26:13,638 --> 00:26:15,206
[Booker] Fast hand, fast feet

484
00:26:15,273 --> 00:26:18,043
means nothing right now to Lash Legend.

485
00:26:18,109 --> 00:26:20,278
Just overpowering the competition.

486
00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:25,550
[Victor] Look at these kicks
from both Perez and Vice

487
00:26:25,617 --> 00:26:27,385
taking it to Lash Legend.

488
00:26:27,452 --> 00:26:30,722
Does Perez even care
she angered the locker room last week?

489
00:26:30,789 --> 00:26:34,526
-Do you think she actually cares?
-Vic, this is a selfish business.

490
00:26:34,592 --> 00:26:36,828
It's not about making people happy

491
00:26:36,895 --> 00:26:39,764
or gaining a whole lot of friends
or anything like that.

492
00:26:39,831 --> 00:26:41,232
[Victor] Nyx isn't going to be happy.

493
00:26:41,299 --> 00:26:45,470
And I just changed my tune because
it's Jayne taking out Lash Legend.

494
00:26:45,537 --> 00:26:48,707
But Booker, look at the team
that is standing right now.

495
00:26:50,041 --> 00:26:53,078
It certainly isn't Nyx and Jayne.

496
00:26:53,144 --> 00:26:56,815
It's Vice and Perez
who now have the numbers advantage

497
00:26:56,881 --> 00:26:58,216
on Jakara Jackson.

498
00:26:58,283 --> 00:27:00,585
[Booker] Meta Fours trying
to make a move here,

499
00:27:00,652 --> 00:27:02,420
but here… Whoa, Roxanne!

500
00:27:03,054 --> 00:27:07,392
[Victor] Bodies flying all around
in this Triple Threat tag team match up.

501
00:27:07,459 --> 00:27:11,463
Can Perez and Vice
continue the teamwork on NXT?

502
00:27:15,767 --> 00:27:19,337
Back on NXT, Triple Threat
tag team match up underway

503
00:27:19,404 --> 00:27:21,973
and it is a double submission right now.

504
00:27:22,040 --> 00:27:26,578
Nyx's in control, as is Jakara Jackson.
Lola Vice in a lot of trouble.

505
00:27:26,645 --> 00:27:30,181
Jacy Jayne trying to run interference
on the NXT Women's champion

506
00:27:30,248 --> 00:27:31,449
in this match up.

507
00:27:31,516 --> 00:27:36,354
And Booker. This has been chaos.
This has been chaos throughout the break.

508
00:27:36,421 --> 00:27:38,823
-Talking about a fight, Vic.
-You ain't kidding.

509
00:27:38,890 --> 00:27:41,192
[Booker] The ladies
are just leaving everything

510
00:27:42,660 --> 00:27:46,197
in the middle of that.
That was hot. That was a hot shot.

511
00:27:46,264 --> 00:27:48,366
[Victor] I think about Jakara Jackson,

512
00:27:48,433 --> 00:27:50,435
I think about Lash Legend
and Meta Four

513
00:27:50,502 --> 00:27:53,405
you know, much like Oro Mensah,
who showed his obsession

514
00:27:53,471 --> 00:27:55,440
with Ethan Page earlier tonight,

515
00:27:55,507 --> 00:27:57,442
How do they get their mojo back?

516
00:27:57,509 --> 00:28:00,045
They can get it back
by fighting through adversity

517
00:28:00,111 --> 00:28:02,080
and winning this match up here tonight.

518
00:28:02,814 --> 00:28:06,184
As Perez looking for a little two for one.

519
00:28:06,251 --> 00:28:08,486
DDT Russian leg combo.

520
00:28:08,553 --> 00:28:10,622
Into the cover of Nyx's, hook to the leg.

521
00:28:10,688 --> 00:28:13,191
And Nyx's kicking out the champion.

522
00:28:13,258 --> 00:28:14,826
That's why she's "the Prodigy."

523
00:28:14,893 --> 00:28:16,594
But there's a kick out by Jakarta.

524
00:28:16,661 --> 00:28:19,197
[Booker] Tell you,
the attitude of Roxanne Perez

525
00:28:19,264 --> 00:28:21,966
has meant everything is going to change.

526
00:28:22,033 --> 00:28:24,769
It's going to rise of Roxanne Perez.

527
00:28:24,836 --> 00:28:27,439
[Victor] Do you think in this second
go round as champion

528
00:28:27,505 --> 00:28:29,641
she's realized at the end of the day

529
00:28:29,707 --> 00:28:31,609
she's the target of everyone?

530
00:28:31,676 --> 00:28:32,811
[Booker] Of course.

531
00:28:32,877 --> 00:28:36,614
But like I always say, Vic,
at the end of the day, it's about what?

532
00:28:36,681 --> 00:28:39,250
Checks and championships, man.

533
00:28:39,317 --> 00:28:41,753
Roxanne Perez knows all about that.

534
00:28:41,820 --> 00:28:43,955
-Here we go!
-[Victor] This is someone

535
00:28:44,022 --> 00:28:45,724
who is looking for a championship,

536
00:28:45,790 --> 00:28:50,095
the breakout star
of last year on the women's side,

537
00:28:50,161 --> 00:28:51,229
Lola…

538
00:28:51,296 --> 00:28:52,130
I'm a latina!

539
00:28:52,197 --> 00:28:55,100
-[Booker] Spice.
-[Victor] Vice. Not Spice. Vice.

540
00:28:57,302 --> 00:29:00,305
[Victor] Taking it to Nyx,
taking it to Jackson.

541
00:29:00,739 --> 00:29:03,475
What did you say about me?

542
00:29:04,676 --> 00:29:09,681
[Victor] And talk a little bit of trash,
but didn't realize Jacy Jayne made the tag

543
00:29:09,747 --> 00:29:11,349
and almost had the win!

544
00:29:11,416 --> 00:29:13,518
[Booker] Crafted by Jacy Jayne.

545
00:29:13,585 --> 00:29:16,554
[Victor] The action of NXT
still trending number one.

546
00:29:17,689 --> 00:29:19,757
And you right now are getting a look

547
00:29:19,824 --> 00:29:22,560
-at the women's division here at NXT.
-[Booker laughs]

548
00:29:22,627 --> 00:29:24,763
-Lash legend.
-[Booker] Wow. You see that?

549
00:29:24,829 --> 00:29:26,397
-Dropping bodies.
-You see that?

550
00:29:26,464 --> 00:29:27,832
[Victor] Proving points.

551
00:29:28,933 --> 00:29:30,969
And she is angry.

552
00:29:31,035 --> 00:29:33,938
[Booker] That's Lash Legend
right there, Vic.

553
00:29:34,005 --> 00:29:35,273
[Victor] What is she thinking?

554
00:29:35,340 --> 00:29:39,310
[Booker] Double up. One time. Here we go.

555
00:29:40,345 --> 00:29:41,246
Man!

556
00:29:43,381 --> 00:29:44,382
[Victor] Tag.

557
00:29:46,217 --> 00:29:48,353
Jakara back to being legal

558
00:29:48,419 --> 00:29:53,124
and take a look at Meta Four.
Looking for the three.

559
00:29:54,225 --> 00:29:56,728
Will it be another? Oh!

560
00:29:58,463 --> 00:30:01,199
it doesn't get
much closer than that, Booker.

561
00:30:01,266 --> 00:30:03,735
Oh, and Jazmyn Nyx might pay for it.

562
00:30:03,802 --> 00:30:05,537
Big Pele kick.

563
00:30:05,603 --> 00:30:06,971
Good night, Lash.

564
00:30:07,038 --> 00:30:09,774
-Do that to me.
-[Booker] Nyx's got talent, man.

565
00:30:09,841 --> 00:30:12,010
[Victor] Better turn around. Got dropped.

566
00:30:12,977 --> 00:30:15,246
Jakara didn't like
what just happened to Lash,

567
00:30:15,313 --> 00:30:18,116
but she's not gonna like that back fist.

568
00:30:18,183 --> 00:30:20,652
That 305 tag made

569
00:30:23,855 --> 00:30:26,391
Lola Vice did the work

570
00:30:26,457 --> 00:30:30,895
and Roxanne Perez
with Pop Rox to earn the win.

571
00:30:30,962 --> 00:30:33,565
-[Booker] Oh, yes!
-[bell rings]

572
00:30:35,500 --> 00:30:37,202
[announcer] Here are your winners.

573
00:30:37,268 --> 00:30:43,007
The team of Lola Vice
and the NXT Women's champion,

574
00:30:43,074 --> 00:30:46,144
Roxanne Perez.

575
00:30:46,211 --> 00:30:50,582
[Victor] This was after the tag.
Lola Vice just hit that 305 back fist.

576
00:30:50,648 --> 00:30:53,551
Roxanne Perez took it upon herself

577
00:30:53,618 --> 00:30:58,957
to tag herself in
to pick up the victory for her team.

578
00:31:03,561 --> 00:31:08,099
[Booker] You said it right, Vic.
Teamwork makes the dream work, right?

579
00:31:08,166 --> 00:31:09,834
-I did.
-You should have loved it.

580
00:31:09,901 --> 00:31:12,203
[Victor] I didn't say I didn't like it.

581
00:31:13,905 --> 00:31:15,240
[Booker laughs]

582
00:31:16,307 --> 00:31:18,443
[Victor] Back fist from Perez.

583
00:31:20,044 --> 00:31:22,380
And Perez has seen this movie before.

584
00:31:22,447 --> 00:31:26,351
Do onto others
before they can do on to you

585
00:31:28,820 --> 00:31:30,121
You step foot.

586
00:31:30,188 --> 00:31:31,322
Yes, sir.

587
00:31:31,990 --> 00:31:35,326
Je'Von, congratulations on winning
the Battle Royal. That's a big deal.

588
00:31:35,393 --> 00:31:38,229
Nah. I appreciate you.
Thank you for putting me in there.

589
00:31:38,296 --> 00:31:39,964
Don't thank me. That was all you.

590
00:31:40,031 --> 00:31:41,065
Come on.

591
00:31:41,132 --> 00:31:43,534
Maybe you should do something!

592
00:31:43,601 --> 00:31:45,737
How about you do something
about that menace Oro Mensah,

593
00:31:45,803 --> 00:31:48,139
who's what?
attacked me four times now?

594
00:31:48,206 --> 00:31:50,575
Ethan, I did.
I kicked him out of the building.

595
00:31:50,642 --> 00:31:53,911
Oh my gosh. Thank you so much.
How about this suggestion?

596
00:31:53,978 --> 00:31:56,614
How about you kick him out
of the entire company?

597
00:31:56,681 --> 00:31:59,417
'Cause if it wasn't for him…
You know what? Screw him.

598
00:31:59,484 --> 00:32:00,485
I'm still in the Battle Royal.

599
00:32:00,551 --> 00:32:03,254
It's still happening right now.
I was never eliminated.

600
00:32:03,321 --> 00:32:05,924
What the hell are you laughing at?

601
00:32:05,990 --> 00:32:08,960
The results tonight
should be null and void.

602
00:32:09,027 --> 00:32:12,664
I should be in this room right now
having this victory chat.

603
00:32:12,730 --> 00:32:15,700
The winner, not some punk ass
20 year old kid.

604
00:32:15,767 --> 00:32:18,069
Punk 20 year old kid?
You know what's crazy?

605
00:32:18,136 --> 00:32:21,372
This punk 20 year old kid
has another match here tonight. Do you?

606
00:32:21,439 --> 00:32:23,641
or has Oro been kicking
your goofy ass round?

607
00:32:23,708 --> 00:32:26,711
Oh, I got another match.
I mean no problem. Oh, problem.

608
00:32:26,778 --> 00:32:30,315
-Je'Von, are you sure?
-Come on. No, Ava, no, I got it.

609
00:32:30,381 --> 00:32:32,650
How about I get him
in the main event tonight?

610
00:32:32,717 --> 00:32:33,551
Main event?

611
00:32:33,618 --> 00:32:36,054
-Main event sounds perfect to me.
-Yeah, Je'Von.

612
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:37,488
You could have all the heart in the world,

613
00:32:37,555 --> 00:32:40,158
but clearly you have nothing
between the ears.

614
00:32:40,224 --> 00:32:43,795
Alright, alright.
Save this for the main event.

615
00:32:43,861 --> 00:32:45,129
Watch those ribs.

616
00:32:45,797 --> 00:32:47,765
[Victor]
That's quite the main event now

617
00:32:47,832 --> 00:32:49,200
still to come here tonight.

618
00:32:49,267 --> 00:32:51,402
But a golden opportunity for Michin.

619
00:32:51,469 --> 00:32:54,973
Can she finally win gold here in NXT?

620
00:32:55,039 --> 00:32:59,277
Can she do it tonight
against Kelani Jordan?

621
00:32:59,344 --> 00:33:00,378
Her first events

622
00:33:00,445 --> 00:33:04,382
of the Women's North American Championship
in moments.

623
00:33:06,918 --> 00:33:08,319
First title defense.

624
00:33:08,386 --> 00:33:10,922
You know what? You got this.
Go kill it.

625
00:33:10,988 --> 00:33:12,657
-Thanks, girl.
-Good luck tonight.

626
00:33:17,729 --> 00:33:20,732
["I Am" playing]

627
00:33:24,369 --> 00:33:26,504
And Booker, I want to talk about Michin.

628
00:33:26,571 --> 00:33:29,774
First appeared in NXT in 2014.

629
00:33:29,841 --> 00:33:32,076
Competed in both Mae Young classics.

630
00:33:32,143 --> 00:33:34,846
Was officially signed with WWE in 2018,

631
00:33:34,912 --> 00:33:37,181
was released in November of 2021.

632
00:33:37,248 --> 00:33:40,885
A year later, she would return.
All the hardships, all the work put in,

633
00:33:40,952 --> 00:33:43,821
all the miles traveled
she said have led to tonight.

634
00:33:43,888 --> 00:33:46,424
Can she capture her first piece of gold?

635
00:33:46,491 --> 00:33:48,659
[Booker] Very serious
as far as her game go,

636
00:33:48,726 --> 00:33:49,994
as far as experience.

637
00:33:50,061 --> 00:33:51,896
All the experience.

638
00:33:53,097 --> 00:33:56,100
["Out Of This World" playing]

639
00:33:58,703 --> 00:34:00,104
[Victor] And for Jordan.

640
00:34:01,706 --> 00:34:03,374
She calls herself "the Standout,"

641
00:34:03,441 --> 00:34:06,010
but we heard her last week
in the center of the ring

642
00:34:06,077 --> 00:34:07,879
talk about her plans for the title.

643
00:34:07,945 --> 00:34:11,416
Is she putting
too much pressure on herself?

644
00:34:11,482 --> 00:34:14,852
[Booker] Lay the hand you dealt, Vic.
This young lady, she's…

645
00:34:14,919 --> 00:34:18,689
She's something special.
She's an anomaly, Vic.

646
00:34:18,756 --> 00:34:21,759
Able to pivot at such a young age.

647
00:34:21,826 --> 00:34:25,797
And now she is
the North American champion.

648
00:34:25,863 --> 00:34:27,698
You gotta give it up to her, man.

649
00:34:27,765 --> 00:34:29,867
[Victor] And this is the first defense

650
00:34:29,934 --> 00:34:33,404
of the Women's
North American Championship.

651
00:34:37,275 --> 00:34:38,276
[bell rings]

652
00:34:38,876 --> 00:34:43,181
[announcer] The following contest
scheduled for one fall.

653
00:34:43,247 --> 00:34:49,020
It's for
the NXT Women's North American

654
00:34:49,087 --> 00:34:51,089
Championship!

655
00:34:53,591 --> 00:35:00,264
Introducing the challenger, Michin!

656
00:35:03,468 --> 00:35:04,902
And her opponent,

657
00:35:05,536 --> 00:35:09,140
she is the NXT Women's

658
00:35:09,207 --> 00:35:12,577
North American champion,

659
00:35:12,877 --> 00:35:18,382
Kelani Jordan!

660
00:35:18,449 --> 00:35:22,053
[Victor] Something you brought up
about Michin was experience.

661
00:35:22,120 --> 00:35:22,920
[Booker] Yes.

662
00:35:22,987 --> 00:35:27,024
[Victor] How much will experience
play a factor tonight?

663
00:35:27,091 --> 00:35:29,427
[Booker] If this was going
on the experience,

664
00:35:29,494 --> 00:35:31,696
Michin would have this match in the bag.

665
00:35:31,762 --> 00:35:35,366
But I speak about Kelani Jordan
very highly, Vic.

666
00:35:35,433 --> 00:35:38,002
She's very highly talented

667
00:35:38,069 --> 00:35:41,272
to be one of the best
in this business at such a young age.

668
00:35:41,339 --> 00:35:44,308
She's done something
hat no one else can take away from her.

669
00:35:44,375 --> 00:35:46,744
That's become the first
North American champion

670
00:35:46,811 --> 00:35:48,446
and I think she's ready for this moment.

671
00:35:48,513 --> 00:35:51,415
[Victor] Nice show of sportsmanship
between these two.

672
00:35:56,487 --> 00:36:00,591
NXT universe, Booker,
has been fired up all night long.

673
00:36:00,658 --> 00:36:03,327
And you talk about Michin,
over a decade of competing

674
00:36:03,394 --> 00:36:04,795
around the world.

675
00:36:04,862 --> 00:36:07,965
For Kelani, signed an NIL deal
less than two years ago,

676
00:36:08,032 --> 00:36:11,669
became one of the fastest
rising stars in NXT.

677
00:36:11,736 --> 00:36:15,473
And who will be
the women's North American champion?

678
00:36:15,540 --> 00:36:17,608
When we come to a city near you and…

679
00:36:20,311 --> 00:36:21,445
Well, that's…

680
00:36:22,213 --> 00:36:24,549
-the good brothers.
-[Booker] Come on now.

681
00:36:24,615 --> 00:36:26,918
[Booker] Come on, dog. Come on now

682
00:36:28,085 --> 00:36:30,888
[Victor] With Michin.
And Michin just suckered in Kelani.

683
00:36:30,955 --> 00:36:33,457
Backslide. Shoulders down.
Jordan able to kick out.

684
00:36:33,524 --> 00:36:35,293
Jordan now from behind. Shoulders down.

685
00:36:35,359 --> 00:36:37,762
Another near fall. Center of the ring,
title again on the line.

686
00:36:37,828 --> 00:36:40,097
Kelani Jordan has never been
in this position before.

687
00:36:40,164 --> 00:36:43,067
And Book, do you remember
your first singles title?

688
00:36:43,134 --> 00:36:45,136
And how tough was the first defense?

689
00:36:45,203 --> 00:36:47,305
-[Booker] I remember…
-Shoulders down!

690
00:36:47,371 --> 00:36:48,539
[Booker] All the hard work getting there.

691
00:36:48,606 --> 00:36:51,175
But I tell you, as soon as I won,
I wanted more.

692
00:36:51,242 --> 00:36:53,744
And that's what Kelani Jordan
needs to think about.

693
00:36:53,811 --> 00:36:55,046
This is just the first.

694
00:36:55,112 --> 00:36:58,916
you want many more titles,
checks and Championships, man.

695
00:36:58,983 --> 00:37:00,985
[Victor] Innovative, interesting.

696
00:37:01,052 --> 00:37:03,754
Charging right back in,
going up, going around Michin,

697
00:37:03,821 --> 00:37:05,022
spinning the game,

698
00:37:05,089 --> 00:37:06,691
able to sidestep and counter.

699
00:37:06,757 --> 00:37:10,995
Michin charging right in,
gets countered by Kelani and, well…

700
00:37:11,829 --> 00:37:13,397
One way to play mind games.

701
00:37:13,464 --> 00:37:15,232
And suckering in Kelani who goes up

702
00:37:15,299 --> 00:37:19,837
and over and spills out
right in front of Anderson and Gallows.

703
00:37:19,904 --> 00:37:21,906
And Kelani is… Whoa.

704
00:37:24,976 --> 00:37:26,844
Kelani was able to get out of the way

705
00:37:26,911 --> 00:37:30,081
and take a look at the Big Ten Standout

706
00:37:30,147 --> 00:37:32,283
showcasing that Spartan spirit.

707
00:37:32,350 --> 00:37:34,518
Who will be walking out tonight

708
00:37:34,585 --> 00:37:37,388
Women's North American champion?

709
00:37:41,559 --> 00:37:42,560
Back on NXT.

710
00:37:42,627 --> 00:37:46,264
The NXT Women's
North American Championship on the line.

711
00:37:46,330 --> 00:37:50,401
And the challenger has been
knocking around the champion

712
00:37:50,468 --> 00:37:52,837
into the cover in a near fall

713
00:37:52,903 --> 00:37:54,772
throughout the commercial break.

714
00:37:54,839 --> 00:37:56,607
And look, when you think of Michin,

715
00:37:56,674 --> 00:37:59,043
she picked up a win last week
over Jaida Parker.

716
00:37:59,110 --> 00:38:01,212
She has some momentum
heading into tonight.

717
00:38:01,279 --> 00:38:05,283
But it's Kelani Jordan who said last week
she knows the lineage of this title

718
00:38:05,349 --> 00:38:07,018
begins with her and, Booker,

719
00:38:07,084 --> 00:38:09,787
It can end in just a matter of moments
for the champion

720
00:38:09,854 --> 00:38:11,656
[Booker] Very, very quickly, Vic,

721
00:38:11,722 --> 00:38:14,158
because Ava granted Michin
this first shot.

722
00:38:14,225 --> 00:38:16,827
Let me tell you something,
that's a test right there.

723
00:38:16,894 --> 00:38:20,898
A major test for Kelani Jordan
in her first outing.

724
00:38:21,899 --> 00:38:23,200
[Victor] Jordan not going to quit.

725
00:38:23,267 --> 00:38:27,038
But Booker, I've just learned.
We got some breaking news. It is official.

726
00:38:27,104 --> 00:38:31,342
Evans-Page is going to happen tonight
in our main event.

727
00:38:31,409 --> 00:38:32,576
That's still to come.

728
00:38:32,643 --> 00:38:34,879
But Kelani Jordan right now is in trouble.

729
00:38:34,945 --> 00:38:38,449
She's got to get her second and third win
into this match up.

730
00:38:38,516 --> 00:38:41,552
And a nasty collision, center of the ring.

731
00:38:41,619 --> 00:38:42,787
[Booker] Talk about that pressure.

732
00:38:42,853 --> 00:38:45,423
You talk about the butterflies,
that nervous energy.

733
00:38:45,489 --> 00:38:48,359
Winning the championship is one thing,
but defending it

734
00:38:48,426 --> 00:38:50,795
is something totally, totally different.

735
00:38:50,861 --> 00:38:52,997
[Victor] There you see the O.C. out here

736
00:38:53,064 --> 00:38:56,801
trying to rally,
showing support for Michin the challenger.

737
00:38:56,867 --> 00:38:59,904
Looking to win gold in NXT
and in WWE for the first time.

738
00:38:59,970 --> 00:39:03,507
And it's Kelani Jordan
in her first defense of the title.

739
00:39:04,575 --> 00:39:06,777
-[crowd] Oh!
-[Booker] Ouch!

740
00:39:08,145 --> 00:39:10,648
[Victor] Both these women
have stayed so driven

741
00:39:10,715 --> 00:39:13,084
not only through this match up,

742
00:39:14,719 --> 00:39:16,854
but for Michin throughout her career.

743
00:39:16,921 --> 00:39:18,889
For Kelani Jordan in her short time

744
00:39:18,956 --> 00:39:23,060
she's taken to the NXT, to WWE so fast.

745
00:39:23,127 --> 00:39:25,229
She's risen up the ranks so quickly.

746
00:39:25,296 --> 00:39:28,199
She's taken advantage
of every opportunity to show

747
00:39:28,265 --> 00:39:30,968
that nobody doe it like Lani.

748
00:39:31,035 --> 00:39:34,105
[Booker] Yes, but she's in the ring
with a pro right now, Vic.

749
00:39:34,171 --> 00:39:36,440
I'm talking about a seasoned veteran.

750
00:39:36,507 --> 00:39:39,477
You don't want to make one mistake
because that could be it.

751
00:39:39,543 --> 00:39:43,247
[Victor] And this athletic background
coming out right now

752
00:39:43,314 --> 00:39:44,782
for Kelani Jordan,

753
00:39:44,849 --> 00:39:47,585
champion into the cover to retain it.

754
00:39:47,651 --> 00:39:52,823
Michin able to kick out
just at the last moment.

755
00:39:52,890 --> 00:39:55,693
[Booker] Kelani Jordan
is looking a little bit exhausted.

756
00:39:55,760 --> 00:39:56,727
She's thinking

757
00:39:56,794 --> 00:39:58,996
and that's the one thing
you don't want to do

758
00:39:59,063 --> 00:40:01,165
in a match up like this is think too hard.

759
00:40:01,232 --> 00:40:02,566
Oh, baby.

760
00:40:02,633 --> 00:40:04,535
[Victor] Jordan thought
maybe just a second.

761
00:40:04,602 --> 00:40:08,672
Michin taking advantage
and another near fall.

762
00:40:08,739 --> 00:40:13,344
Nice bridge off the German suplex.
And Michin was almost able

763
00:40:13,411 --> 00:40:15,279
to get her first taste of gold.

764
00:40:15,346 --> 00:40:17,882
[Booker] Yeah. But a little frustration
set in as well,

765
00:40:17,948 --> 00:40:20,317
she thought she had
the three count right there.

766
00:40:21,318 --> 00:40:23,154
[Victor] Trying a nice counter.

767
00:40:23,220 --> 00:40:26,257
And had it scouted. Was Kelani.

768
00:40:28,259 --> 00:40:30,561
Kelani creating some separation.

769
00:40:31,562 --> 00:40:33,798
Trying to figure out
where exactly she's at.

770
00:40:33,864 --> 00:40:36,734
And she's going to the top.
Michin charging right back in.

771
00:40:36,801 --> 00:40:40,137
These two women
have been slugging it out all night long

772
00:40:40,204 --> 00:40:42,606
for the championship that's on the line.

773
00:40:42,673 --> 00:40:45,910
And Kelani now
not going to like the landing.

774
00:40:47,011 --> 00:40:49,980
Michin center of the ring,
trying to fight position.

775
00:40:50,047 --> 00:40:51,582
Jordan trying to counter.

776
00:40:51,649 --> 00:40:54,685
And she did into a poison rana.

777
00:40:56,520 --> 00:40:58,289
Michin may be out.

778
00:40:58,789 --> 00:41:02,359
Is it enough? And another near fall.

779
00:41:02,426 --> 00:41:05,529
[Booker] You gotta be kidding me, Vic.
I thought that was it.

780
00:41:05,596 --> 00:41:08,566
[Victor] As much as we've talked
about Kelani Jordan in this match up,

781
00:41:08,632 --> 00:41:10,167
we gotta give Michin her flowers

782
00:41:10,234 --> 00:41:12,203
because she's showing you
the heart of a champion.

783
00:41:13,237 --> 00:41:18,075
But Kelani dragging Michin over
far away from the good brothers.

784
00:41:18,142 --> 00:41:21,078
Looking for that one of a kind
split legged moonsault.

785
00:41:21,145 --> 00:41:22,146
No one there.

786
00:41:22,213 --> 00:41:24,448
And that could be the door
that just opened for Michin.

787
00:41:24,515 --> 00:41:26,050
[Booker] That's that mistake
I was talking about.

788
00:41:26,116 --> 00:41:27,518
Window just open from Michin.

789
00:41:27,585 --> 00:41:30,855
And right now she looks like
she's about to cash in and become the new…

790
00:41:30,921 --> 00:41:33,257
Here we go! Here we go, Vic!

791
00:41:33,324 --> 00:41:38,128
[Victor] Michin sitting down,
sitting pretty into the cover.

792
00:41:39,096 --> 00:41:42,366
Not quite enough for Kelani.

793
00:41:43,868 --> 00:41:46,003
Kelani able to kick out.

794
00:41:46,670 --> 00:41:50,107
Kelani putting her heart on the line and…

795
00:41:51,375 --> 00:41:53,010
What is OTM doing?

796
00:41:57,248 --> 00:42:00,985
Getting right in the face of the O.C.
as Michin the top rope.

797
00:42:01,051 --> 00:42:02,152
Kelani… Hey!

798
00:42:03,754 --> 00:42:05,189
Jaida Parker.

799
00:42:07,258 --> 00:42:10,728
The official didn't see Jaida Parker
right here almost in front of us.

800
00:42:10,794 --> 00:42:12,897
I don't even think
Kelani saw Jaida Parker.

801
00:42:12,963 --> 00:42:14,798
She doesn't know what just happened.

802
00:42:14,865 --> 00:42:17,334
But the split leg.
One of a kind moonsault.

803
00:42:17,401 --> 00:42:19,436
-keeps the tail around the waist
-[bell rings]

804
00:42:19,503 --> 00:42:20,871
of the standout.

805
00:42:22,673 --> 00:42:26,010
[announcer] Here is your winner and still

806
00:42:26,076 --> 00:42:30,514
the NXT Women's North American champion,

807
00:42:30,581 --> 00:42:34,118
Kelani Jordan!

808
00:42:34,184 --> 00:42:37,555
[Victor] Certainly was
a tough test for Kelani.

809
00:42:37,621 --> 00:42:40,558
But look, Kelani Jordan
didn't even realize

810
00:42:40,624 --> 00:42:45,296
that Jaida Parker came out here
and changed the complexion

811
00:42:45,362 --> 00:42:47,031
of this match up. Bam!

812
00:42:47,097 --> 00:42:48,866
Didn't connect the first time.

813
00:42:48,933 --> 00:42:52,169
The second time,
she succeeded to get that three

814
00:42:52,236 --> 00:42:58,142
and to continue to hold on
to her Women's North American title.

815
00:43:00,945 --> 00:43:03,714
Ethan Page, a wild night for you.

816
00:43:03,781 --> 00:43:05,683
You were only in the Battle Royal
for a few seconds.

817
00:43:05,749 --> 00:43:06,550
Nope.

818
00:43:06,617 --> 00:43:09,720
Wrong. I'm still in the Battle Royal.

819
00:43:09,787 --> 00:43:11,989
I was never eliminated
from the Battle Royal.

820
00:43:12,056 --> 00:43:13,223
And you know what else?

821
00:43:13,290 --> 00:43:16,694
Trick never beat Ethan Page at his best.

822
00:43:16,760 --> 00:43:18,429
'Cause in Vegas, at Battleground,

823
00:43:18,495 --> 00:43:20,731
I got jumped in the parking lot
at the hotel.

824
00:43:20,798 --> 00:43:24,535
And then, admittedly,
I let my emotions get the best of me.

825
00:43:24,602 --> 00:43:28,973
But now, now we're back on track,
and I got some business to handle.

826
00:43:29,039 --> 00:43:31,342
And the first order of business
is you, Je'Von.

827
00:43:31,408 --> 00:43:33,077
And that gets handled tonight.

828
00:43:33,143 --> 00:43:35,646
And then, Trick,
I am coming for that NXT title,

829
00:43:35,713 --> 00:43:37,982
and I'm going to take it away from you.

830
00:43:38,048 --> 00:43:39,116
But, Oro.

831
00:43:39,783 --> 00:43:42,486
Oro, the next time we cross paths,

832
00:43:42,553 --> 00:43:45,522
I'm gonna make sure to deal with you.

833
00:43:47,224 --> 00:43:50,761
Ethan Page, with a very long to do list.

834
00:43:53,964 --> 00:43:57,234
For me, being great was never a choice.

835
00:43:57,301 --> 00:43:58,902
It was just my way of life.

836
00:43:58,969 --> 00:44:02,139
On the volleyball court, I was that girl.

837
00:44:02,206 --> 00:44:05,943
A Division 1 college athlete
with First Team All Region honors.

838
00:44:06,510 --> 00:44:09,413
I was breaking records
and smashing faces,

839
00:44:09,480 --> 00:44:13,017
sending a volleyball 60 mph
at my opponents.

840
00:44:13,617 --> 00:44:17,021
I struck fear
into my opponents across that net.

841
00:44:17,087 --> 00:44:20,190
I set records for kills and velocity.

842
00:44:20,257 --> 00:44:22,459
And after college, I took my game pro.

843
00:44:22,526 --> 00:44:25,529
So it's really no wonder WWE wanted me.

844
00:44:25,596 --> 00:44:29,366
They wanted me to be that girl in NXT.

845
00:44:30,100 --> 00:44:32,369
I'm picking this new game up real quick,

846
00:44:32,436 --> 00:44:34,605
and soon I'll be dominating in the ring

847
00:44:34,672 --> 00:44:36,273
just like I did on the court.

848
00:44:36,340 --> 00:44:39,009
I'm going to prove that these NARPs

849
00:44:39,076 --> 00:44:42,479
that's Non Athletic Regular People,

850
00:44:42,546 --> 00:44:46,150
can't hang with Izzi "the Great" Dame.

851
00:44:46,717 --> 00:44:48,986
And that just is what it is.

852
00:44:52,790 --> 00:44:55,626
[Victor]
Well, from that girl to that man.

853
00:44:55,692 --> 00:44:58,429
We're gonna hear
from the North American champion,

854
00:44:58,495 --> 00:45:02,099
Oba Femi next, right here on NXT.

855
00:45:08,238 --> 00:45:09,239
Nathan,

856
00:45:09,807 --> 00:45:11,341
what the hell was that, man?

857
00:45:11,408 --> 00:45:13,477
Well, hello to you too, amigo.

858
00:45:13,544 --> 00:45:14,378
No hello, amigo.

859
00:45:14,445 --> 00:45:16,447
Why didn't you tell me
that you were going to compete

860
00:45:16,513 --> 00:45:17,347
in the Battle Royal?

861
00:45:17,414 --> 00:45:20,050
The real question is,
why weren't you in the Battle Royal?

862
00:45:20,117 --> 00:45:22,586
Who wouldn't want
an opportunity in the NXT title?

863
00:45:22,653 --> 00:45:24,888
We are the NXT tag team champions, mate.

864
00:45:24,955 --> 00:45:26,757
-Yeah, I know.
-Oh, you know?

865
00:45:26,824 --> 00:45:28,759
Last week you were looking
at the Heritage Cup

866
00:45:28,826 --> 00:45:30,494
-like you wanted to…
-Yeah, and you know what?

867
00:45:30,561 --> 00:45:33,163
In the Battle Royal tonight,
I eliminated Tony D. So maybe…

868
00:45:33,230 --> 00:45:34,331
Oh, maybe, maybe.

869
00:45:34,398 --> 00:45:36,500
So being tag team champion's
not good enough for you?

870
00:45:36,567 --> 00:45:38,168
You know
that's not what I'm trying to say.

871
00:45:38,235 --> 00:45:40,871
And you know that next week
there's a tag team turmoil to…

872
00:45:40,938 --> 00:45:42,072
Guys, guys.

873
00:45:42,139 --> 00:45:44,341
Not trying to interrupt
what's going on here,

874
00:45:44,408 --> 00:45:45,943
but I'm here on some business.

875
00:45:46,009 --> 00:45:47,244
After what happened in the Battle Royal,

876
00:45:47,311 --> 00:45:49,313
"the Don" wanted me
to have this drafted up.

877
00:45:49,379 --> 00:45:52,082
This is a contract for
an NXT Heritage Cup match,

878
00:45:52,149 --> 00:45:55,285
already signed off and approved by a vote.

879
00:46:01,625 --> 00:46:03,060
It's not a bad signature.

880
00:46:03,994 --> 00:46:06,230
That's unbelievable. Unbelievable.

881
00:46:07,064 --> 00:46:08,766
-What?
-Mira, paso.

882
00:46:10,734 --> 00:46:13,337
Mate, we're literally off next week.

883
00:46:14,538 --> 00:46:17,040
[Victor] Well, Booker.
Over the weekend at TNA,

884
00:46:17,107 --> 00:46:21,044
against all odds,
Tatum Paxley shocked everyone

885
00:46:21,111 --> 00:46:25,783
by challenging Jordan Grace
for the TNA Knockouts Championship.

886
00:46:25,849 --> 00:46:28,919
It was quite the battle
back and forth between the two,

887
00:46:28,986 --> 00:46:33,457
but "the Juggernaut" would make
Paxley pay in the end.

888
00:46:33,524 --> 00:46:34,758
And against all odds,

889
00:46:34,825 --> 00:46:38,529
it was Grace
who retained her Knockouts title.

890
00:46:42,900 --> 00:46:44,768
Speaking of champions,

891
00:46:46,036 --> 00:46:49,039
["Hands of Fate" playing]

892
00:47:11,195 --> 00:47:14,531
[announcer] Ladies and gentlemen,
please welcome

893
00:47:14,598 --> 00:47:19,203
the NXT North American champion,

894
00:47:19,269 --> 00:47:24,374
Oba Femi!

895
00:47:24,441 --> 00:47:28,846
[Victor]
What is on the mind of Oba Femi?

896
00:47:30,881 --> 00:47:36,220
Who certainly has become
a one man wrecking crew

897
00:47:36,286 --> 00:47:38,555
here on Tuesday nights.

898
00:47:56,840 --> 00:48:00,477
This feels all too familiar, doesn't it?

899
00:48:02,279 --> 00:48:06,783
Once again, Oba,
still the North American champion,

900
00:48:07,918 --> 00:48:09,786
still the ruler of NXT.

901
00:48:10,854 --> 00:48:13,690
And I did tell everybody
who would listen to me,

902
00:48:13,757 --> 00:48:18,462
I told them that no matter how many people
step up to me at Battleground,

903
00:48:18,528 --> 00:48:22,299
the results remain the same.

904
00:48:33,310 --> 00:48:36,280
So I flew out to Vegas
and I did what I do best.

905
00:48:37,214 --> 00:48:39,182
I dominated two men,

906
00:48:39,950 --> 00:48:41,218
Joe Coffey

907
00:48:42,085 --> 00:48:43,220
and Wes Lee.

908
00:48:45,088 --> 00:48:47,691
Two of the greatest that NXT has to offer.

909
00:48:50,127 --> 00:48:51,862
But they are nothing like me.

910
00:48:52,596 --> 00:48:54,431
There's nobody like me.

911
00:48:55,565 --> 00:48:57,167
So look in my eyes

912
00:48:59,569 --> 00:49:01,104
and riddle me this.

913
00:49:02,205 --> 00:49:04,708
Who can ever take this title from me?

914
00:49:05,609 --> 00:49:08,612
["Assemble" playing]

915
00:49:13,984 --> 00:49:15,152
Well, Oba,

916
00:49:16,687 --> 00:49:18,155
to answer your question,

917
00:49:18,855 --> 00:49:20,123
that would be me.

918
00:49:22,693 --> 00:49:25,362
You see, you know, I know,

919
00:49:25,962 --> 00:49:28,832
hell, everybody
that watched in Vegas knows

920
00:49:28,899 --> 00:49:30,834
you sure as hell didn't pin me

921
00:49:30,901 --> 00:49:31,702
Again?

922
00:49:32,202 --> 00:49:34,671
Again. Really, Wes?

923
00:49:36,106 --> 00:49:40,477
Listen, your little obsession
with this title that was once yours

924
00:49:40,544 --> 00:49:43,080
is really beginning to irritate me.

925
00:49:43,146 --> 00:49:44,147
[Wes] Is it?

926
00:49:45,282 --> 00:49:46,383
I don't care.

927
00:49:52,055 --> 00:49:56,993
You see, when I came back,
I was gunning for one thing.

928
00:49:58,695 --> 00:49:59,696
You.

929
00:50:08,705 --> 00:50:11,375
And you know how badly

930
00:50:12,142 --> 00:50:15,412
I wanted to test myself against you,
one on one.

931
00:50:16,146 --> 00:50:20,217
Hell, I even had the opportunity tonight
to be in the Battle Royal

932
00:50:20,283 --> 00:50:22,152
for the NXT championship.

933
00:50:22,219 --> 00:50:24,254
And I respectfully declined.

934
00:50:25,022 --> 00:50:26,022
Why?

935
00:50:27,057 --> 00:50:29,426
Because all of my energy,

936
00:50:29,493 --> 00:50:35,899
every ounce of my focus is on
my North American championship

937
00:50:36,700 --> 00:50:38,135
and getting it back.

938
00:50:41,738 --> 00:50:45,275
Wes, I've realized that
you're going in circles,

939
00:50:45,342 --> 00:50:50,113
round and round, and quite frankly,
I'm tired of it. And I'm done.

940
00:50:52,682 --> 00:50:54,017
Oba!

941
00:50:56,386 --> 00:50:59,823
Don't turn your back on me.

942
00:51:07,431 --> 00:51:12,502
You see, you have everything
going for you right now.

943
00:51:12,569 --> 00:51:15,739
You are making headlines every week.

944
00:51:15,806 --> 00:51:18,075
You have guys like Big E

945
00:51:18,141 --> 00:51:21,478
saying that you
are their favorite superstar

946
00:51:22,479 --> 00:51:26,650
and they are treating you
like the greatest North American champion

947
00:51:27,484 --> 00:51:28,952
everywhere you go.

948
00:51:30,520 --> 00:51:36,226
But you know deep down
what I am to that title

949
00:51:37,160 --> 00:51:39,129
unless you do something about it.

950
00:51:40,230 --> 00:51:42,098
And I am giving you that opportunity.

951
00:51:43,300 --> 00:51:44,634
But just know

952
00:51:46,136 --> 00:51:48,105
that you will be facing

953
00:51:48,171 --> 00:51:51,208
a different kind of cardiac kid
when you face me one on one.

954
00:51:51,675 --> 00:51:54,911
And I'm going to show you
exactly why it is

955
00:51:54,978 --> 00:51:58,148
my name in all the record books,

956
00:51:58,815 --> 00:51:59,916
not yours.

957
00:52:06,823 --> 00:52:07,958
Wes.

958
00:52:08,458 --> 00:52:11,061
It seems like you have
a lot of faith in yourself.

959
00:52:11,795 --> 00:52:14,664
It seems like all these people
have a lot of faith in you.

960
00:52:15,866 --> 00:52:18,902
They really believe
that you can win back this title.

961
00:52:19,970 --> 00:52:21,671
But that's neither here nor there.

962
00:52:21,738 --> 00:52:26,576
What really concerns me
is changing those record books.

963
00:52:27,310 --> 00:52:28,111
So,

964
00:52:29,045 --> 00:52:30,013
Wes,

965
00:52:30,614 --> 00:52:33,783
I will give you your one on one match.

966
00:52:34,251 --> 00:52:36,253
[crowd cheering]

967
00:52:38,088 --> 00:52:39,089
However.

968
00:52:40,190 --> 00:52:41,191
However,

969
00:52:41,591 --> 00:52:46,796
this will be the first and final time
you challenge for this.

970
00:52:46,863 --> 00:52:50,867
As long as I am champion.
So what's it going to be, Wes?

971
00:52:51,868 --> 00:52:53,236
Do we have an accord?

972
00:52:57,574 --> 00:52:58,742
You got it.

973
00:53:01,945 --> 00:53:06,216
[Victor] Wes Lee has one shot
and one opportunity to seize everything.

974
00:53:06,283 --> 00:53:09,219
Will he capture the gold or let it slip?

975
00:53:11,187 --> 00:53:13,190
Hey. Yeah. Come on. I blew it, man.

976
00:53:13,256 --> 00:53:14,758
I was feeling good there.

977
00:53:14,824 --> 00:53:18,428
Even started tanking up a little bit
but couldn't get the job done.

978
00:53:18,495 --> 00:53:19,596
-Damn it.
-No, no, no.

979
00:53:19,663 --> 00:53:21,898
It sucks you're not
the number one contender, but look up.

980
00:53:22,566 --> 00:53:24,301
-Got some good news.
-How good?

981
00:53:24,367 --> 00:53:26,603
Ten out of ten
in Hank a Tank good news scale, bro.

982
00:53:26,670 --> 00:53:27,504
Cranking my tank now?

983
00:53:27,571 --> 00:53:29,139
I would never crank your tank, Tank.
Now listen up.

984
00:53:29,205 --> 00:53:31,775
A few moments ago, I was medically cleared
from my shoulder injury

985
00:53:31,841 --> 00:53:33,343
and I'm back for in ring action.

986
00:53:33,410 --> 00:53:35,378
Come on. That's what I'm talking about.

987
00:53:35,445 --> 00:53:37,280
If the tag team is back in action,

988
00:53:37,347 --> 00:53:40,817
then we gotta get back on the right track.
You see Tyler Bate tonight?

989
00:53:40,884 --> 00:53:42,719
I couldn't miss him.
He had you spinning like pizza dough.

990
00:53:42,786 --> 00:53:44,821
Going around and around and around.

991
00:53:44,888 --> 00:53:47,591
I know, but that's how we get back
on the right track.

992
00:53:47,657 --> 00:53:48,925
-Tyler Bate.
-Big strong boy.

993
00:53:48,992 --> 00:53:50,427
-And Pete Dunne.
-Watch fingers.

994
00:53:50,493 --> 00:53:52,462
Two absolute technicians in the ring.

995
00:53:52,529 --> 00:53:54,564
-Certified.
-Spread the word.

996
00:53:54,631 --> 00:53:58,535
Hank and Tank are back
and they want the New Catch Republic.

997
00:53:59,436 --> 00:54:01,438
-Yeah!
-Yeah!

["Saddle Up" playing]

999
00:54:03,240 --> 00:54:05,809
[Victor] The old analogy,
be careful what you ask for, right?

1000
00:54:05,875 --> 00:54:08,912
But at least Hank and Tank are back.

is scheduled for one fall.

There she is, Book.
All about the Ms. Fallon Henley.

She got that Texas meat on, man.

from her opponent earlier tonight

Can Carlee flatten Fallon?

1008
00:54:36,139 --> 00:54:39,909
We're gonna find out next
right here on NXT.

1009
00:54:44,514 --> 00:54:47,884
Any idea why you're here, Tavion?

1010
00:54:49,919 --> 00:54:51,655
-No.
-No?

Myles was supposed to give you a hint.

1012

Myles, you didn't tell Tavion
why he's here.

1013
00:55:00,263 --> 00:55:05,168
Myles, how come you didn't tell Tavion
why he's here?

1014
00:55:05,902 --> 00:55:07,237
I didn't hear anything.

00:55:09,072 --> 00:55:13,543
Anyway, Tavion, I gotta say,
you are impressive.

1016
00:55:13,610 --> 00:55:17,247
Former Olympian, former Pan Am champion,

1017
00:55:17,314 --> 00:55:20,116
multiple Greco Roman
championships under your belts.

1018
00:55:20,183 --> 00:55:21,251
Damn right.

1019
00:55:21,317 --> 00:55:25,355
You are everything
the No Quarter Catch Crew needs.

1020
00:55:26,156 --> 00:55:28,258
That's why I invited you to this sit-down.

1021
00:55:28,325 --> 00:55:30,660
I want you in the NQCC.

1022
00:55:32,629 --> 00:55:33,630
All right.

1023
00:55:35,565 --> 00:55:38,501
Playing hardball, are you?
All right? I see how it is.

1024
00:55:38,568 --> 00:55:40,937
-What?
-I'm gonna one up you.

1025
00:55:41,004 --> 00:55:44,674
Next week it's you against Damon.

1026
00:55:45,275 --> 00:55:47,811
-What?
-Oh, yeah, you.

1027
00:55:47,877 --> 00:55:50,814
After what you did
in the Battle Royal, you deserve this.

1028
00:55:52,582 --> 00:55:55,785
-You win, you're in.
-Even better.

1029
00:55:56,986 --> 00:55:59,155
You drive a hard bargain, Tavion.

1030
00:56:01,691 --> 00:56:03,026
I like that.

1031
00:56:12,435 --> 00:56:15,839
Who the hell does Wes Lee think he is?

1032
00:56:15,905 --> 00:56:17,574
He wants another match over.

1033
00:56:17,640 --> 00:56:20,510
You beat that lad
clear in the middle last week.

1034
00:56:20,910 --> 00:56:24,347
Listen, if there's anyone
who's getting another match

1035
00:56:24,414 --> 00:56:25,548
is this guy.

1036
00:56:25,615 --> 00:56:28,118
Wes Lee is the last guy
that should be stepping…

1037
00:56:32,222 --> 00:56:36,226
[all screaming]

1038
00:56:40,263 --> 00:56:42,866
[Victor] NXT Anonymous
caught a little payback

1039
00:56:42,932 --> 00:56:45,969
from Tyson and Tyreek towards Gallus.

1040
00:56:48,404 --> 00:56:51,408
["Ray of Sunshine" playing]

1041
00:56:51,474 --> 00:56:55,211
[announcer] And her opponent,
accompanied by Kendal Grey,

1042
00:56:55,278 --> 00:56:57,347
Carlee Bright.

1043
00:57:21,271 --> 00:57:22,772
[Victor] Let's talk about
the here and the now.

1044
00:57:22,839 --> 00:57:26,543
There you see Fallon Henley does not seem
too impressed with Carlee Bright.

1045
00:57:26,609 --> 00:57:29,746
And bright, of course,
joined by Kendal Grey.

1046
00:57:29,813 --> 00:57:30,613
[bell rings]

1047
00:57:30,680 --> 00:57:33,249
[Booker] She's a rookie, Vic.

1048
00:57:33,316 --> 00:57:35,585
-I mean, come on.
-You were a rookie one time.

1049
00:57:35,652 --> 00:57:37,921
-Exactly.
-Did you like when people picked on you?

1050
00:57:37,987 --> 00:57:40,957
You think that Curt Henning
or the world respected me?

1051
00:57:41,024 --> 00:57:42,025
No, they didn't.

1052
00:57:43,426 --> 00:57:46,462
[Victor] As I was going to say
before you cut me off,

1053
00:57:47,030 --> 00:57:50,033
is this an opportunity for Carlee
to put her name on the map?

1054
00:57:50,099 --> 00:57:52,101
Much like you would have had
against Curt Henning?

1055
00:57:52,168 --> 00:57:54,270
Of course it is.
I can imagine the butterflies

1056
00:57:54,337 --> 00:57:57,740
going through Carlee Bright right now
is all over the place.

1057
00:57:57,807 --> 00:58:00,310
She's got to get those butterflies
to line up and fly straight.

1058
00:58:00,376 --> 00:58:01,911
I wonder if she could do that.

1059
00:58:01,978 --> 00:58:04,347
[Victor] I figured you'd be excited.
We're trending number one.

1060
00:58:04,414 --> 00:58:05,815
[Booker] Oh, I am excited.

1061
00:58:05,882 --> 00:58:07,784
[Victor] Why you been grumpy all day?

1062
00:58:07,851 --> 00:58:09,419
[Booker] I'm good.

1063
00:58:09,486 --> 00:58:11,988
We mentioned Kendal Grey's
on the outside right now

1064
00:58:12,055 --> 00:58:13,890
trying to cheer on Carlee Bright.

1065
00:58:13,957 --> 00:58:16,726
Kendal Grey, of course,
equate the accomplished amateur

1066
00:58:16,793 --> 00:58:18,394
three time NAIA champion

1067
00:58:18,461 --> 00:58:22,932
2023 finalist for the USA
Wrestling Women's Wrestler of the year.

1068
00:58:22,999 --> 00:58:25,969
But right now, she can't be too happy
with what's going down

1069
00:58:26,035 --> 00:58:27,103
with Carlee Brighton.

1070
00:58:27,170 --> 00:58:30,473
Bright and Grey have quite the bond
through their training

1071
00:58:30,540 --> 00:58:33,209
here in NXT
as Bright taken over

1072
00:58:33,276 --> 00:58:35,645
And Bright one of the toughest
cheerleaders I've ever met

1073
00:58:35,712 --> 00:58:37,747
from the University of Minnesota.

1074
00:58:37,814 --> 00:58:39,782
Almost able to pick up a big victory.

1075
00:58:39,849 --> 00:58:41,451
[Booker] Yeah,
she's looking really good.

1076
00:58:41,518 --> 00:58:44,520
But I think Fallon Henley
is just luring her in.

1077
00:58:44,587 --> 00:58:47,323
Letting her get all of her little tricks
out of her bag

1078
00:58:47,390 --> 00:58:49,492
before everything turns dark.

1079
00:58:49,559 --> 00:58:52,262
[Victor] You brought up
she's a rookie. You know what?

1080
00:58:52,328 --> 00:58:54,030
So was Fallon Henley at one point.

1081
00:58:54,097 --> 00:58:56,966
What's wrong with Carlee
having big championship dreams?

1082
00:58:57,033 --> 00:58:58,434
Fallon thought it was crazy.

1083
00:58:58,501 --> 00:59:01,304
[Booker] It's nothing wrong
with having big dreams, Vic.

1084
00:59:01,371 --> 00:59:04,474
But Carlee's gonna have to learn
one thing about this business.

1085
00:59:04,540 --> 00:59:08,611
The thrill of victory,
but also the agony of defeat.

1086
00:59:08,678 --> 00:59:10,246
Just like that big shot.

1087
00:59:10,313 --> 00:59:12,782
[Victor] Fallon Henley talking
some trash to Grey.

1088
00:59:12,849 --> 00:59:15,985
And Henley's attitude
has done a massive 720.

1089
00:59:16,052 --> 00:59:18,688
And I'm sure deep down
Fallon believes she should have been

1090
00:59:18,755 --> 00:59:21,758
in the Women's North American Championship
match earlier tonight.

1091
00:59:21,824 --> 00:59:25,428
Still to come, massive main event.
Je'Von Evans and Ethan Page.

1092
00:59:25,495 --> 00:59:28,431
[Booker] Look what that change
has done for Fallon Henley.

1093
00:59:28,498 --> 00:59:32,335
More driven, more focused
and definitely more dangerous.

1094
00:59:32,402 --> 00:59:35,972
[Victor] Both superstars have
heat waves circles on their calendars

1095
00:59:36,039 --> 00:59:38,174
two weeks from Sunday.
Part of Money in the Bank Weekend.

1096
00:59:38,241 --> 00:59:39,842
Evans-Trick for the NXT title

1097
00:59:39,909 --> 00:59:42,312
after Evans won the Battle Royal
earlier tonight.

1098
00:59:42,378 --> 00:59:45,415
Tickets on sale, ticketmaster.ca.

1099
00:59:45,481 --> 00:59:47,216
But you think about Fallon Henley.

1100
00:59:47,283 --> 00:59:50,653
It's sad to think that a year ago
Fallon was the voice

1101
00:59:50,720 --> 00:59:52,689
for those aspiring superstars.

1102
00:59:52,755 --> 00:59:56,225
[Booker] You know what happened?
She missed out on the draft.

1103
00:59:56,292 --> 01:00:00,129
And now it's time to go to work.
It's time to do some business, yeah.

1104
01:00:00,196 --> 01:00:02,966
[Victor] Going to work though
is Bright in a near fall.

1105
01:00:03,032 --> 01:00:05,969
Almost able to get one over
on Fallon Henley as…

1106
01:00:06,035 --> 01:00:07,804
[Booker] Beautiful kick. Beautiful.

1107
01:00:07,870 --> 01:00:10,974
[Victor] You know the confrontation
I talked too about earlier

1108
01:00:11,040 --> 01:00:13,810
when Carlee Bright
said she wants a championship,

1109
01:00:13,876 --> 01:00:15,378
she has championship dreams.

1110
01:00:15,445 --> 01:00:17,914
That confrontation led to this
one on one match up.

1111
01:00:17,981 --> 01:00:21,384
And now it's Bright
just trying to squeeze and put to sleep

1112
01:00:21,451 --> 01:00:24,087
Fallon Henley. Center of the ring.

1113
01:00:24,153 --> 01:00:27,023
Bright trying to hold up referee
in great position.

1114
01:00:27,090 --> 01:00:29,125
A nice job by Fallon.

1115
01:00:30,393 --> 01:00:31,394
Fallon…

1116
01:00:33,296 --> 01:00:34,297
Booker,

1117
01:00:34,864 --> 01:00:37,467
-do you see what I see?
-[Booker] Oh.

1118
01:00:37,533 --> 01:00:40,570
-Wait a minute.
-[Victor] Wendy Choo.

1119
01:00:40,636 --> 01:00:41,938
[crowd chanting] Wendy!

1120
01:00:42,005 --> 01:00:44,974
[Victor] And that's not
the same Wendy Choo we knew before.

1121
01:00:45,041 --> 01:00:46,409
What the hell is she doing?

1122
01:00:48,277 --> 01:00:52,081
-Talk about putting someone to sleep.
-[Booker] Another pillow for.

1123
01:00:52,782 --> 01:00:54,717
[Victor] What the hell wrong with you?

1124
01:00:54,784 --> 01:00:56,285
You think this is all fun and games?

1125
01:00:56,352 --> 01:00:58,054
Carlee Bright right now.
You called her a rookie.

1126
01:00:58,121 --> 01:00:59,622
She might not know
how to handle this situation.

1127
01:00:59,689 --> 01:01:02,692
Her best friend was just taken out
by Wendy Choo.

1128
01:01:03,793 --> 01:01:05,495
And look who's going to reap the rewards.

1129
01:01:05,561 --> 01:01:08,197
It's Fallon Henley.
Bright, though, trying her best,

1130
01:01:08,264 --> 01:01:09,532
creating some separation.

1131
01:01:09,599 --> 01:01:11,934
And now charging back in
with another forearm.

1132
01:01:12,001 --> 01:01:14,437
Bright is bringing the fight
to Fallon Henley.

1133
01:01:14,504 --> 01:01:16,205
Big drop kick!

1134
01:01:16,272 --> 01:01:18,908
This could be a turning point
in her young career.

1135
01:01:18,975 --> 01:01:21,778
[Booker] I'm impressed.
I'm impressed right now, Vic.

1136
01:01:22,512 --> 01:01:25,415
Stay focused, Carlee Bright
is doing pretty good right now.

1137
01:01:25,481 --> 01:01:27,617
She certainly is. And Bright.

1138
01:01:28,084 --> 01:01:33,189
Target acquired, flying and came up
just a little bit short of Fallon.

1139
01:01:33,256 --> 01:01:35,858
Who could care less
about the aspiring superstars.

1140
01:01:35,925 --> 01:01:38,194
She's all about me.

1141
01:01:38,261 --> 01:01:39,328
[Booker] Hey,

1142
01:01:39,896 --> 01:01:41,264
that was gnarly.

1143
01:01:42,065 --> 01:01:44,467
[Victor] Say that one more. Bam!

1144
01:01:46,069 --> 01:01:47,236
Into the cover.

1145
01:01:47,303 --> 01:01:52,575
And for Fallon Henley,
picking up another massive win.

1146
01:01:53,576 --> 01:01:58,915
[announcer] Here is your winner,
Fallon Henley.

1147
01:02:00,883 --> 01:02:03,686
[Victor] What a victory here tonight

1148
01:02:03,753 --> 01:02:06,456
for the new attitude in Fallon Henley.

1149
01:02:08,658 --> 01:02:09,859
Eddy.

1150
01:02:09,926 --> 01:02:12,328
Obviously not the result you wanted
in the Battle Royal tonight,

1151
01:02:12,395 --> 01:02:15,665
but it seems like you have
this new energy and fire in your eyes.

1152
01:02:15,732 --> 01:02:17,900
Yeah, you saw that
out there tonight, right?

1153
01:02:17,967 --> 01:02:20,870
I had a few injuries
that put me out of action for a while,

1154
01:02:20,937 --> 01:02:22,271
but that's in the past.

1155
01:02:22,338 --> 01:02:26,008
Last week I got a win in my return,
and I had a good showing here tonight.

1156
01:02:26,075 --> 01:02:28,244
And I just want to continue
to pick up momentum,

1157
01:02:28,311 --> 01:02:29,212
because once I get that going,

1158
01:02:29,278 --> 01:02:31,214
I'm gonna be the one challenging
Trick for his title.

1159
01:02:31,280 --> 01:02:33,116
Or Oba Femi for the North American title.

1160
01:02:33,182 --> 01:02:35,685
Hell, I'll take a run at Tony
for the Heritage Cup.

1161
01:02:36,285 --> 01:02:38,921
Look, I'm sorry
that my mind's all over the place,

1162
01:02:38,988 --> 01:02:42,291
but NXT is hot right now
and I want to be in the middle of it.

1163
01:02:42,358 --> 01:02:44,327
-Thank you so much for your time.
-Yeah.

1164
01:02:45,862 --> 01:02:50,533
[Victor] Oh, Booker, get ready to show
your school spirit.

1165
01:02:53,770 --> 01:02:54,570
[bell rings]

1166
01:02:54,637 --> 01:02:57,874
[announcer] The following contest
is a tag team match

1167
01:02:57,940 --> 01:02:59,876
scheduled for one fall.

1168
01:02:59,942 --> 01:03:04,213
Introducing first,
representing Chase University,

1169
01:03:04,280 --> 01:03:07,850
Duke Hudson and Andre Chase.

1170
01:03:07,917 --> 01:03:09,986
[Victor] Chase U looking to show the O.C.

1171
01:03:10,052 --> 01:03:12,221
they're nothing more
than an intramural club

1172
01:03:12,288 --> 01:03:14,023
when we return to NXT.

1173
01:03:17,660 --> 01:03:21,731
-You just gotta be careful with this.
-Hey, I'm going to Heatwave.

1174
01:03:22,098 --> 01:03:23,966
Come on, dog. Come on, now.

1175
01:03:24,467 --> 01:03:25,835
-Je'Von.
-Yo.

1176
01:03:25,902 --> 01:03:27,837
-Congrats on the Battle Royal.
-I appreciate it.

1177
01:03:27,904 --> 01:03:29,272
I see you pull the Trick Willie tonight.

1178
01:03:29,338 --> 01:03:31,140
-Come on, now.
-Two matches in one night, huh?

1179
01:03:31,207 --> 01:03:32,175
-Come on.
-Let's talk about it.

1180
01:03:32,241 --> 01:03:35,044
You know, I gotta do what I gotta do.
Your gotta keep pushing.

1181
01:03:35,111 --> 01:03:36,112
Yeah, yeah.

1182
01:03:36,979 --> 01:03:39,282
-Whoa, whoa. You good?
-Yeah, we good.

1183
01:03:39,348 --> 01:03:42,985
-Appreciate you, dog.
-Good. Look, man, Ethan Page is a bad boy.

1184
01:03:43,052 --> 01:03:46,656
But he stepped right into NXT,
hustled his way into a title shot with me.

1185
01:03:46,722 --> 01:03:48,891
Now he's trying to do it
all again with you.

1186
01:03:48,958 --> 01:03:50,560
You gotta put an end to all of this.

1187
01:03:50,626 --> 01:03:53,329
Hey, he goofy. I ain't not worried about.

1188
01:03:53,396 --> 01:03:56,766
Yes. Look, I need you
to take care of him for real this time.

1189
01:03:56,832 --> 01:04:00,603
Facts. But he think it's a game.
You know what I'm saying, man?

1190
01:04:00,670 --> 01:04:02,572
Ethan Page. Look, this dude, like,

1191
01:04:03,206 --> 01:04:05,107
I don't think he belong here at NXT.

1192
01:04:05,174 --> 01:04:07,476
I don't care how long
he signed on his contract

1193
01:04:07,543 --> 01:04:10,079
to me, he always gonna be an outsider.

1194
01:04:10,146 --> 01:04:13,049
Real talk.
Tonight I'm gonna do what I gotta do.

1195
01:04:13,115 --> 01:04:17,153
Get that W.
This me and you for that title, my boy.

1196
01:04:17,220 --> 01:04:18,354
Come on now. Heatwave.

1197
01:04:18,421 --> 01:04:20,723
-Hey, man, take care of business.
-You know I got you.

1198
01:04:20,790 --> 01:04:22,558
-That's all It's gonna be.
-Straight like that.

1199
01:04:22,625 --> 01:04:23,626
Straight up.

1200
01:04:24,093 --> 01:04:26,863
Oh, Booker, I cannot wait

1201
01:04:26,929 --> 01:04:29,131
for NXT Heatwave in Toronto.

1202
01:04:29,198 --> 01:04:31,634
Money tin the Bank Weekend, man.
Are you ready?

1203
01:04:31,701 --> 01:04:34,503
Oh, I am ready.
It is two weeks from Sunday.

1204
01:04:34,570 --> 01:04:35,738
It is NXT Heatwave.

1205
01:04:35,805 --> 01:04:38,341
And what about our massive
main event here tonight?

1206
01:04:38,407 --> 01:04:41,310
Yes, Je'Von Evans
did win the Battle Royal earlier tonight.

1207
01:04:41,377 --> 01:04:42,645
His opponent, Ethan Page,

1208
01:04:42,712 --> 01:04:44,413
he's been saying
he wasn't even eliminated.

1209
01:04:44,480 --> 01:04:45,514
It should be voided.

1210
01:04:45,581 --> 01:04:48,884
They are going to tangle
in our main event here tonight.

1211
01:04:48,951 --> 01:04:52,388
But right now
it is tag team action on NXT.

1212
01:04:54,924 --> 01:04:57,927
["Emergence" playing]

1213
01:05:22,385 --> 01:05:25,488
[announcer] And their opponents
accompanied by Michin,

1214
01:05:25,554 --> 01:05:31,127
Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson!

1215
01:05:31,193 --> 01:05:33,462
[Victor] There's no doubt
when you take a look at Gallows,

1216
01:05:33,529 --> 01:05:34,897
take a look at Anderson.

1217
01:05:35,431 --> 01:05:39,935
They are a tandem that prey
on those they believe to be weak.

1218
01:05:40,002 --> 01:05:45,608
[Booker] It's about to get real, Vic.
Two grown ass men.

1219
01:05:45,675 --> 01:05:47,476
What are you talking about?
Preying on somebody?

1220
01:05:47,543 --> 01:05:50,713
This is the business, Vic.
It's about survival.

1221
01:05:50,780 --> 01:05:54,417
Only the strong can survive
in order to stay alive.

1222
01:05:54,483 --> 01:05:56,319
It's called survival.

1223
01:05:56,385 --> 01:05:57,486
Oh, yes, man.

1224
01:05:57,553 --> 01:06:00,256
-You know who a survivor is? Andre Chase.
-[bell rings]

1225
01:06:00,323 --> 01:06:02,425
He has survived
everything you can think of

1226
01:06:02,491 --> 01:06:04,327
here in NXT over the last few years.

1227
01:06:04,393 --> 01:06:05,294
[Booker] Yes.

1228
01:06:05,361 --> 01:06:08,964
[Victor] How can you say
that Andre Chase isn't a leader?

1229
01:06:09,031 --> 01:06:10,833
[Booker] What are you talking about?

1230
01:06:10,900 --> 01:06:12,702
He turns negatives into positives.

1231
01:06:12,768 --> 01:06:15,971
Is the same guy
who almost lost the university.

1232
01:06:16,038 --> 01:06:17,807
If it wasn't for Jacy Jayne

1233
01:06:17,873 --> 01:06:22,678
and that tremendous calendar
that you put out. Come on, man.

1234
01:06:22,745 --> 01:06:24,480
[Victor] If you can get your head
out of the calendar for a moment.

1235
01:06:24,547 --> 01:06:27,383
He also makes everyone feel accepted.
And what do you tell me?

1236
01:06:27,450 --> 01:06:31,587
Stop living in the past. It's finally nice
to see Chase U in the same page.

1237
01:06:31,654 --> 01:06:33,022
[Booker] What are you talking about?

1238
01:06:33,089 --> 01:06:35,324
Well, what I am talking about, Booker,

1239
01:06:35,391 --> 01:06:40,396
is that I just got a text message
from champion Trick Williams.

1240
01:06:40,463 --> 01:06:43,099
-What are you talking about?
-Trick Williams.

1241
01:06:43,165 --> 01:06:46,902
He's going to join us on commentary
for the main event tonight.

1242
01:06:46,969 --> 01:06:49,205
-He texted you what?
-He just texted me.

1243
01:06:49,271 --> 01:06:51,240
He's going to be out here
for the main event.

1244
01:06:51,307 --> 01:06:54,343
As we're trying to focus
right now on this tag team match up.

1245
01:06:54,410 --> 01:06:58,114
And as I was saying, finally nice
to see Chase U on the same page.

1246
01:06:58,180 --> 01:07:03,252
They've even accepted Ridge Holland.
Holland now wearing the Chase U.

1247
01:07:03,319 --> 01:07:04,854
See that? Chase U shirt.

1248
01:07:04,920 --> 01:07:07,957
[Booker] People have pet snakes.
I mean all kind.

1249
01:07:08,024 --> 01:07:10,626
I'm talking about pythons.
I'm talking about cobras.

1250
01:07:10,693 --> 01:07:12,094
I'm talking about rattlers.

1251
01:07:12,161 --> 01:07:15,131
You just got to know
they're gonna bite you sooner or later.

1252
01:07:15,197 --> 01:07:16,265
That's the only thing you got to do.

1253
01:07:16,332 --> 01:07:18,834
[Victor] As Duke cuts now the MVP
taking it to Karl Anderson.

1254
01:07:18,901 --> 01:07:21,404
Can you just admit to me
that your theories about…

1255
01:07:21,470 --> 01:07:23,038
Into the cover hook of the leg.

1256
01:07:23,105 --> 01:07:26,475
Admit that you have to put
the theories about Ridge Holland to rest.

1257
01:07:26,542 --> 01:07:28,711
He's been accepted by Chase University.

1258
01:07:28,778 --> 01:07:31,647
He's been accepted
by Duke Hudson and Andre Chase.

1259
01:07:31,714 --> 01:07:33,049
Just say I was wrong.

1260
01:07:33,115 --> 01:07:34,750
[Booker] If they want to buy it,

1261
01:07:34,817 --> 01:07:36,786
If they want to trust him, that's okay.

1262
01:07:36,852 --> 01:07:39,388
[Victor] Into the cover, hook of the leg.
Another near fall.

1263
01:07:39,455 --> 01:07:40,790
[Booker] Let me tell you something.

1264
01:07:40,856 --> 01:07:44,560
If Andre Chase can come out here
and show me something in this match up,

1265
01:07:44,627 --> 01:07:47,530
he might get me to trust him
just a little bit.

1266
01:07:47,596 --> 01:07:49,698
Do something tonight, man.
Do something.

1267
01:07:49,765 --> 01:07:52,668
[Victor]
Andre Chase is far away from his corner.

1268
01:07:52,735 --> 01:07:56,405
But Duke was about to go in
on Chase and instead…

1269
01:07:56,472 --> 01:07:58,140
[Booker] Oh!

1270
01:07:58,207 --> 01:08:03,212
Just like Andre Chase did
in a big belly to back suplex.

1271
01:08:03,279 --> 01:08:05,748
[Booker] Now it's time
to pick up business.

1272
01:08:05,815 --> 01:08:09,552
The big man, Luke Gallows with a big shot.

1273
01:08:09,618 --> 01:08:11,720
-Oh yes, man.
-Gallows and Anderson.

1274
01:08:11,787 --> 01:08:15,224
Just two nasty individuals.

1275
01:08:15,291 --> 01:08:18,094
They referred to Holland
as a brute turn nerd.

1276
01:08:18,160 --> 01:08:20,429
And I can only imagine what they think
of Andre Chase.

1277
01:08:20,496 --> 01:08:22,998
Into the cover and Chase able to kick out.

1278
01:08:23,065 --> 01:08:26,569
O.C., a club that doesn't really
open its doors for anyone

1279
01:08:26,635 --> 01:08:28,204
but are loyal to their own

1280
01:08:28,270 --> 01:08:30,372
as we saw earlier tonight with Michin

1281
01:08:30,439 --> 01:08:32,942
who has joined them ringside
here for this match up.

1282
01:08:33,008 --> 01:08:36,011
[Booker] Has Ridge Holland
turned into a cheerleader?

1283
01:08:36,078 --> 01:08:38,447
Has he been reduced to that?
I'm just wondering.

1284
01:08:38,514 --> 01:08:40,583
[Victor] What do you mean?
He was in the Battle Royal.

1285
01:08:40,649 --> 01:08:43,285
-I'm just wondering.
-It is a nice showing.

1286
01:08:43,352 --> 01:08:46,121
[Victor] What do you mean?
Chase U supports one another.

1287
01:08:46,188 --> 01:08:47,490
There's a whole Chase U student section.

1288
01:08:47,556 --> 01:08:49,358
Where have you been
for the last two years?

1289
01:08:49,425 --> 01:08:52,294
You're talking about Chase U.
They're one. They're a unit.

1290
01:08:52,361 --> 01:08:54,497
They're a family.
They're together. There's a bind.

1291
01:08:54,563 --> 01:08:57,466
[Booker] This business in this sport.

1292
01:08:57,533 --> 01:09:02,037
Now he's been reduced to a cheerleader,
a backup player. I don't like that.

1293
01:09:02,104 --> 01:09:04,907
-Did you not sleep well last night?
-I slept very well.

1294
01:09:04,974 --> 01:09:06,642
What are you talking about?

1295
01:09:06,709 --> 01:09:09,745
Into the cover goes Karl Anderson.
Hook of the leg, kick out.

1296
01:09:09,812 --> 01:09:13,415
[Victor] After how Raw ended,
I'd have all the lights on in the house.

1297
01:09:13,482 --> 01:09:14,950
I couldn't sleep with a wink.

1298
01:09:15,017 --> 01:09:17,386
[Booker]
Have your favorite blanket as well.

1299
01:09:18,153 --> 01:09:20,256
[Victor] It's none of your damn business.

1300
01:09:20,322 --> 01:09:23,659
As Gallows and Anderson
making it their business here tonight

1301
01:09:23,726 --> 01:09:27,897
is taking out Chase U.
They mocked Chase U earlier tonight.

1302
01:09:27,963 --> 01:09:30,499
They had nothing nice to say
about Ridge Holland.

1303
01:09:30,566 --> 01:09:32,868
I will note that Riley Osborne
is not here.

1304
01:09:32,935 --> 01:09:36,405
He's over in the United Kingdom,
as we learned tonight from Thea Hail.

1305
01:09:36,472 --> 01:09:38,307
So Chase U down a man.

1306
01:09:38,374 --> 01:09:41,210
But the Chase U student section
is on their feet,

1307
01:09:41,277 --> 01:09:42,678
trying to rally Andre Chase.

1308
01:09:42,745 --> 01:09:46,815
[Booker] Riley's not here,
because he does not trust Ridge Holland.

1309
01:09:46,882 --> 01:09:49,952
-That's the reason he's not here, Vic.
-You don't know.

1310
01:09:50,019 --> 01:09:54,089
[Victor] Big boot by Chase.
Chase now one step ahead of Gallows.

1311
01:09:54,156 --> 01:09:55,624
One step ahead of Anderson.

1312
01:09:55,691 --> 01:09:59,228
You reach he teaches.
Into the cover and income…

1313
01:10:00,095 --> 01:10:01,096
Duke Hudson!

1314
01:10:03,232 --> 01:10:05,234
One way to isolate Gallows.

1315
01:10:06,068 --> 01:10:08,704
Trying to isolate Karl Anderson.
Now Anderson.

1316
01:10:08,771 --> 01:10:13,809
Duke Hudson just ran through
and then ran over Karl Anderson.

1317
01:10:13,876 --> 01:10:17,379
And now. Big right, big right, big right.

1318
01:10:20,816 --> 01:10:22,618
Followed up with a big elbow.

1319
01:10:22,685 --> 01:10:23,485
[Booker] Man!

1320
01:10:24,653 --> 01:10:27,590
Chase University turning it around,
here tonight…

1321
01:10:27,656 --> 01:10:30,626
What the hell was that?

1322
01:10:31,093 --> 01:10:34,830
Into the cover goes Duke.
Duke hooks the leg. Is it enough?

1323
01:10:34,897 --> 01:10:36,765
Gallows able to break it up.

1324
01:10:38,233 --> 01:10:39,735
[Booker] Show me something, Andre.

1325
01:10:39,802 --> 01:10:42,137
-I just saw something from Duke Hudson.
-Show me something.

1326
01:10:42,204 --> 01:10:45,774
[Victor] Look at Andre Chase
leading the charge for Chase U.

1327
01:10:46,875 --> 01:10:48,677
He's a motivator, Book.

1328
01:10:50,145 --> 01:10:53,983
-And he's taking. Are you impressed now?
-Okay, okay, okay.

1329
01:10:54,049 --> 01:10:57,953
Back into the ring, though.
Look at Duke Hudson powering up Anderson.

1330
01:10:58,020 --> 01:11:01,056
Anderson up and over.
Nice counter, though, from behind.

1331
01:11:01,123 --> 01:11:04,159
It's Hudson now. Into the cover!

1332
01:11:04,860 --> 01:11:07,696
-[bell rings]
-Chase U did it! Oh, my word!

1333
01:11:09,198 --> 01:11:13,535
[announcer] Here are your winners.
Chase University!

1334
01:11:13,602 --> 01:11:16,639
[Victor] What a victory for Chase U.

1335
01:11:18,073 --> 01:11:21,710
Duke Hudson almost in disbelief.
What a win.

1336
01:11:25,681 --> 01:11:29,351
Thank you for just staying focused.
And congratulations on your first win.

1337
01:11:29,418 --> 01:11:31,553
-Thank you.
-As Women's North American champion.

1338
01:11:31,620 --> 01:11:34,890
But look, I gotta tell you,
there was a long line

1339
01:11:34,957 --> 01:11:37,326
outside of that door of women
who were clawing out a chance

1340
01:11:37,393 --> 01:11:38,227
for that title.

1341
01:11:38,294 --> 01:11:41,297
Well, one challenge ends,
the next one begins, right?

1342
01:11:41,363 --> 01:11:44,266
-Yeah--
-But I know who it should be.

1343
01:11:44,333 --> 01:11:47,670
Someone who deserves a title opportunity.

1344
01:11:47,736 --> 01:11:50,539
Maybe someone, you know,
who they never complain.

1345
01:11:50,606 --> 01:11:53,742
They don't ever feel like,
you know, they're owed anything.

1346
01:11:53,809 --> 01:11:56,679
-Yeah, I like that.
-Yo, Kelani!

1347
01:11:56,745 --> 01:11:59,882
Don't you know, it's not nice
to talk behind people's backs?

1348
01:11:59,948 --> 01:12:02,918
But in this case,
I'll allow it. Excuse me.

1349
01:12:03,752 --> 01:12:06,188
You are such a sweetheart
for thinking of me

1350
01:12:06,255 --> 01:12:08,290
since I wasn't even in the combine

1351
01:12:08,357 --> 01:12:10,025
to qualify for an opportunity.

1352
01:12:10,092 --> 01:12:13,896
So I just want to say thank you
and I accept.

1353
01:12:14,596 --> 01:12:19,368
Oh, Ariana. That's kind of awkward.
I wasn't really thinking about you.

1354
01:12:19,835 --> 01:12:23,005
I was thinking of someone
that they never ask or anything.

1355
01:12:23,072 --> 01:12:25,407
They don't ever complain, you know?

1356
01:12:25,474 --> 01:12:26,775
And who would that be?

1357
01:12:26,842 --> 01:12:28,844
-Sol Ruca.
-Oh!

1358
01:12:28,911 --> 01:12:29,812
-Nice choice.
-Yes.

1359
01:12:29,878 --> 01:12:31,980
Sol Ruca. Sol.

1360
01:12:33,415 --> 01:12:34,983
She's a nice enough girl,

1361
01:12:35,050 --> 01:12:37,353
but she doesn't carry herself
like a champion,

1362
01:12:37,419 --> 01:12:39,254
like a pageant queen.

1363
01:12:39,321 --> 01:12:43,759
She surfs, and the only thing that suits
her is the ocean.

1364
01:12:43,826 --> 01:12:46,795
Plus, I'm actually
so much better than her that it's funny.

1365
01:12:47,463 --> 01:12:50,999
-Well, why don't you prove that?
-Prove it. That's a good idea.

1366
01:12:51,066 --> 01:12:52,835
Yeah, I like it. That works for me.

1367
01:12:52,901 --> 01:12:56,038
Perfect. Okay, so,
Ariana versus Sol next week.

1368
01:12:56,105 --> 01:12:56,972
Awesome.

1369
01:12:57,039 --> 01:12:59,608
-Bye bye.
-Good luck.

1370
01:12:59,675 --> 01:13:02,111
Yeah, good. Good idea, Stone.

1371
01:13:03,912 --> 01:13:07,316
[Victor] Heck of an idea.
Hey. I told you, Book!

1372
01:13:07,383 --> 01:13:10,252
Look who's coming out here
to join us on commentary.

1373
01:13:10,319 --> 01:13:11,820
[Booker] The hell is this?

1374
01:13:11,887 --> 01:13:14,056
-[crowd] Whoop that Trick!
-[Booker] Uh huh.

1375
01:13:14,857 --> 01:13:17,760
-[Booker] Say what?
-But you're still gonna do your thing.

1376
01:13:17,826 --> 01:13:20,396
-[crowd] Whoop that Trick!
-[Booker] Oh, yeah, man!

1377
01:13:21,096 --> 01:13:23,365
Oh, yeah, man! That Trick.

1378
01:13:26,402 --> 01:13:30,205
-Why is he here?
-I told you, he sent me a text.

1379
01:13:30,272 --> 01:13:32,975
[announcer] Please welcome

1380
01:13:33,041 --> 01:13:36,879
the NXT champion,

1381
01:13:36,945 --> 01:13:40,649
Trick Williams!

1382
01:13:40,716 --> 01:13:43,619
[Victor] Because he's joining us
on commentary.

1383
01:13:43,685 --> 01:13:45,387
You didn't want to believe me

1384
01:13:45,454 --> 01:13:48,724
because you can't spell "ego" without OG.

1385
01:13:48,791 --> 01:13:51,059
Evans became
the number one contender earlier,

1386
01:13:51,126 --> 01:13:53,295
but his opponent said
the victory is voided.

1387
01:13:53,362 --> 01:13:54,963
Main event next.

1388
01:13:55,030 --> 01:13:57,032
[crowd] Whoop that Trick!

1389
01:13:59,802 --> 01:14:01,303
Guys, you just beat the O.C.

1390
01:14:01,370 --> 01:14:05,841
Do we see what happens
when we're all on the same page?

1391
01:14:05,908 --> 01:14:08,076
-Congrats, guys, on your win.
-Thank you.

1392
01:14:08,143 --> 01:14:10,078
I wish Riley was here to see it.
When does he get back?

1393
01:14:10,145 --> 01:14:10,946
Soon, I hope.

1394
01:14:11,013 --> 01:14:13,916
Me too. And what the hell was O.C.
complaining about after the match?

1395
01:14:13,982 --> 01:14:16,285
Nah, I have no clue. It's crazy.

1396
01:14:16,351 --> 01:14:19,455
Duke. Are you up to no good out there?

1397
01:14:20,222 --> 01:14:22,257
-Me?
-[Thea] Yeah, you.

1398
01:14:22,324 --> 01:14:26,328
No, I didn't do nothing.
I didn't see nothing.

1399
01:14:27,095 --> 01:14:29,031
Ridge, you were out there.
Did you see anything?

1400
01:14:29,097 --> 01:14:32,401
Only thing I saw was yo winning
clean as a whistle.

1401
01:14:32,468 --> 01:14:35,270
-There you have it.
-Come on, you guys just beat the O.C.

1402
01:14:35,337 --> 01:14:37,940
We should be celebrating.
Come on, let's go.

1403
01:14:38,006 --> 01:14:39,308
Let's party.

1404
01:14:44,546 --> 01:14:45,347
[Thea] Let's go!

1405
01:14:45,414 --> 01:14:48,784
But of course.
No, everybody else, everybody else.

1406
01:14:48,851 --> 01:14:51,386
Skip over, get ahead of the line
and I'm here.

1407
01:14:51,453 --> 01:14:54,356
-Someone's pissed off tonight.
-Yeah, I am. You wanna know why?

1408
01:14:54,423 --> 01:14:56,792
Because Kelani doesn't even
deserve that title to begin with.

1409
01:14:56,859 --> 01:14:58,627
This is a damn joke.

1410
01:14:58,694 --> 01:15:01,663
Join the club.
At least your nose isn't broken.

1411
01:15:01,730 --> 01:15:04,032
And you won tonight.
We didn't even get pinned.

1412
01:15:04,099 --> 01:15:05,901
Well, now it's either Sol Ruca or…

1413
01:15:05,968 --> 01:15:07,836
Or Ariana Grace
gets the next shot at Kelani.

1414
01:15:07,903 --> 01:15:10,172
-Yeah, exactly.
-So much for seniority.

1415
01:15:10,239 --> 01:15:13,542
Or maybe just a little bit of respect.
Is that too much to ask for?

1416
01:15:13,609 --> 01:15:14,476
No, it's not.

1417
01:15:14,543 --> 01:15:19,248
In fact, I am sick of the way
things are done around here.

1418
01:15:19,314 --> 01:15:20,449
-Yeah.
-Same.

1419
01:15:20,516 --> 01:15:21,583
So am I.

1420
01:15:22,651 --> 01:15:25,454
[Victor] Well, some in the locker room
may not like it,

1421
01:15:25,521 --> 01:15:28,123
but Ariana Grace will face Soul Ruca.

1422
01:15:28,190 --> 01:15:30,726
Which superstar
can ride the wave to a victory?

1423
01:15:30,792 --> 01:15:33,095
Next week live right here on NXT.

1424
01:15:33,161 --> 01:15:33,996
Also, Book,

1425
01:15:34,062 --> 01:15:37,199
It's going to be a busy night
for our NXT tag team champions.

1426
01:15:37,266 --> 01:15:40,168
First, they'll sit back and they'll watch
the top tag teams

1427
01:15:40,235 --> 01:15:41,703
compete in tag team turmoil.

1428
01:15:41,770 --> 01:15:47,376
The winning team will receive a tag team
championship opportunity at NXT Heatwave.

1429
01:15:47,442 --> 01:15:50,279
Then one half of the tag team champions,

1430
01:15:50,345 --> 01:15:51,647
that being Nathan Frazier,

1431
01:15:51,713 --> 01:15:54,016
will look to regain
his long lost Heritage Cup

1432
01:15:54,082 --> 01:15:57,052
against the man he eliminated
from the Battle Royal earlier,

1433
01:15:57,119 --> 01:15:59,588
"the Don."
Can D'Angelo slow down Frazier?

1434
01:15:59,655 --> 01:16:03,492
We're gonna find out next week
live right here on NXT.

1435
01:16:05,661 --> 01:16:10,332
But, Book, main event time
right here, right now.

1436
01:16:10,399 --> 01:16:11,633
And as we look over,

1437
01:16:11,700 --> 01:16:14,269
I told you who was joining us
on commentary

1438
01:16:14,336 --> 01:16:15,737
for this main event.

1439
01:16:15,804 --> 01:16:19,207
-My man, Trick Williams, the NXT champion.
-Yo, it's good to see you.

1440
01:16:19,274 --> 01:16:21,343
-He texted me.
-It's good to see you, dog.

1441
01:16:21,410 --> 01:16:24,446
[Booker] Hell, no. The hell is this?

1442
01:16:24,513 --> 01:16:26,982
Don't you know this guy's a snitch.

1443
01:16:27,049 --> 01:16:28,917
-You hear him?
-This guy's a snitch.

1444
01:16:28,984 --> 01:16:31,820
-Come on, uncle Book. Gotta do it.
-Thank you very much.

1445
01:16:31,887 --> 01:16:34,156
Oh, it's all good, uncle Book.
It's all love.

1446
01:16:39,127 --> 01:16:41,663
[Victor] He's a hater.
All he does is hate.

1447
01:16:41,730 --> 01:16:43,031
Come on, dog.

1448
01:16:44,666 --> 01:16:47,669
["With a Smile" playing]

1449
01:16:56,812 --> 01:17:00,649
[announcer] And his opponent "All Ego."

1450
01:17:00,716 --> 01:17:03,352
Ethan Page!

1451
01:17:03,418 --> 01:17:07,689
[Victor] Speaking of hating,
this is a man who has hated how his night…

1452
01:17:07,756 --> 01:17:10,425
-[Trick] What?
-[Booker] Oh yeah, he's a hater.

1453
01:17:10,492 --> 01:17:12,194
[Victor] He's just like you. He's a hater.

1454
01:17:12,260 --> 01:17:14,663
He hasn't been able
to see anything nice tonight.

1455
01:17:14,730 --> 01:17:16,598
He's hating Oro Mensah.

1456
01:17:16,665 --> 01:17:19,067
If he didn't jump Noam Dar
they wouldn't be coming after him.

1457
01:17:19,134 --> 01:17:22,304
And then he hated on the young OG
for winning that Battle Royal.

1458
01:17:22,371 --> 01:17:24,306
Said it's null, is voided, doesn't count.

1459
01:17:24,373 --> 01:17:27,209
[Booker] Look, Ethan Page
is here for a reason, Vic.

1460
01:17:27,275 --> 01:17:30,812
And that reason
is to rise to the top of NXT.

1461
01:17:30,879 --> 01:17:32,614
And who's at the top right now?

1462
01:17:32,681 --> 01:17:34,683
-Trick Williams.
-Exactly my point.

1463
01:17:34,750 --> 01:17:36,218
[Victor] Evans rightfully won

1464
01:17:36,284 --> 01:17:38,520
that number one contenders
Battle Royal tonight.

1465
01:17:38,587 --> 01:17:40,355
But there you see right to the body,

1466
01:17:40,422 --> 01:17:42,124
he's still banged up
as we saw from earlier.

1467
01:17:42,190 --> 01:17:44,026
The ribs have to be even worse now.

1468
01:17:44,092 --> 01:17:47,562
I still can't believe it's the table
right here that we're sitting at,

1469
01:17:47,629 --> 01:17:49,297
that got moved inadvertently.

1470
01:17:49,364 --> 01:17:52,000
That hurt Evans. It was sad circumstances.

1471
01:17:52,067 --> 01:17:53,802
And last week we were number one.

1472
01:17:53,869 --> 01:17:55,170
Right now we're number one

1473
01:17:55,237 --> 01:17:58,607
and looking to become number one
is "All Ego."

1474
01:17:58,674 --> 01:18:02,844
[Booker] It's funny you say the table
hurt Je'Von Evans.

1475
01:18:02,911 --> 01:18:04,646
He's the one that jumped
on the damn table.

1476
01:18:04,713 --> 01:18:08,817
He's the one that took that big shot.
Come on, man, tell it like it is.

1477
01:18:08,884 --> 01:18:11,353
[Victor] Look, you can side with Page
if you want.

1478
01:18:11,420 --> 01:18:13,622
You can even agree that he thinks that
should be nullified

1479
01:18:13,688 --> 01:18:17,325
because Ethan Page is going to the body.
He's going right to the ribs.

1480
01:18:17,392 --> 01:18:19,428
And he's trying to hurt Evans.

1481
01:18:19,494 --> 01:18:21,930
He's trying to hurt
the number one contender

1482
01:18:21,997 --> 01:18:24,032
right here in front of Trick Williams.

1483
01:18:24,099 --> 01:18:27,569
He's trying to send a message,
Trick, to you through Evans.

1484
01:18:28,770 --> 01:18:30,272
[Booker] Ah!

1485
01:18:30,338 --> 01:18:31,940
[Trick] No worry about that.
That's young OG, man.

1486
01:18:32,007 --> 01:18:34,209
-He knows how to fight.
-[Victor] And a cover. A kick out.

1487
01:18:34,276 --> 01:18:37,145
But you talk about being ready to fight.
Are you ready, champ?

1488
01:18:37,212 --> 01:18:40,816
Because at Heatwave,
it's gonna be the young OG against you

1489
01:18:40,882 --> 01:18:42,651
Bam! …for the NXT championship.

1490
01:18:42,718 --> 01:18:46,121
[Trick] Shout out to the young OG, man.
Nothing but love and respect.

1491
01:18:46,188 --> 01:18:48,090
He came into NXT, he turned heads,

1492
01:18:48,156 --> 01:18:50,726
he made noise,
and that's why he's in this position.

1493
01:18:50,792 --> 01:18:53,795
Trick brings up a great point
about Je'Von Evans,

1494
01:18:53,862 --> 01:18:57,099
Book but what sort of domino effect
could happen

1495
01:18:57,165 --> 01:18:59,367
if Ethan Page wins this match up?

1496
01:18:59,434 --> 01:19:00,836
[Booker] Domino effect?

1497
01:19:00,902 --> 01:19:04,206
The domino effect should be
Ethan Page gets the shot.

1498
01:19:04,272 --> 01:19:05,774
That's the way I see it.

1499
01:19:05,841 --> 01:19:09,244
Page said he didn't get eliminated
in the Battle Royal. I get it.

1500
01:19:09,311 --> 01:19:11,480
[Booker] Yeah. He jump the line.
He takes shortcuts.

1501
01:19:11,546 --> 01:19:14,382
[Victor] No respect to a guy
who don't know how to take the stairs.

1502
01:19:14,449 --> 01:19:17,319
[Booker]
Look at it like this, man. Je'Von Evans…

1503
01:19:17,385 --> 01:19:19,387
[Victor] Cover and that kick out.

1504
01:19:19,454 --> 01:19:20,922
[Booker] Je'Von Evans
didn't have to take this match up.

1505
01:19:20,989 --> 01:19:22,624
[Victor] Another cover, another kick out.

1506
01:19:22,691 --> 01:19:24,226
[Booker] Coming off a big main event
just last week,

1507
01:19:24,292 --> 01:19:27,162
stepping into this match up,
banged up. Come on.

1508
01:19:27,229 --> 01:19:29,531
You gotta be smart in this business, man.

1509
01:19:29,598 --> 01:19:32,934
[Victor] I get what you're saying,
but look, you gotta credit Evans

1510
01:19:33,001 --> 01:19:34,136
for wanting to compete.

1511
01:19:34,202 --> 01:19:37,372
He didn't blink an eye when Ethan Page
started chirping earlier.

1512
01:19:37,439 --> 01:19:40,175
And right now, Page is making a pay.
There's no doubt.

1513
01:19:40,242 --> 01:19:42,144
I looked up from the monitor
just a second ago, Trick.

1514
01:19:42,210 --> 01:19:43,745
I don't know if you see it as well.

1515
01:19:43,812 --> 01:19:46,448
Right now, Je'Von Evans
is having trouble breathing.

1516
01:19:46,515 --> 01:19:49,618
He's gasping for air.
How much internal damage?

1517
01:19:49,684 --> 01:19:51,520
How much is he banged up?

1518
01:19:51,586 --> 01:19:53,822
He can't be 100 %
heading into this match up.

1519
01:19:53,889 --> 01:19:54,890
[Trick] He can't be.

1520
01:19:54,956 --> 01:19:57,559
Ethan Page is the guy who knows
how to expose the weaknesses.

1521
01:19:57,626 --> 01:19:59,928
He see that he's banged up in the ribs
that's what he's going to attack.

1522
01:19:59,995 --> 01:20:01,930
He's a smart guy,
but he just takes shortcuts.

1523
01:20:01,997 --> 01:20:02,898
That's my only problem.

1524
01:20:02,964 --> 01:20:04,599
[Booker] Shortcuts?

1525
01:20:04,666 --> 01:20:07,135
Je'Von Evans chose
to come in here like this.

1526
01:20:07,202 --> 01:20:09,738
You play the hand you're dealt
in this situation.

1527
01:20:09,804 --> 01:20:11,406
[Victor] This is what happens
when Booker's out here.

1528
01:20:11,473 --> 01:20:13,275
Oh, right over the rips again!

1529
01:20:13,341 --> 01:20:15,577
-I'm saying…
-Evans is getting beat down!

1530
01:20:15,644 --> 01:20:16,645
[Booker] He's getting beat badly.

1531
01:20:16,711 --> 01:20:18,213
I'm saying this because Trick
needs to know.

1532
01:20:18,280 --> 01:20:21,116
I'm not going to sit here and just tell it
the way it should be.

1533
01:20:21,183 --> 01:20:22,717
You got to tell it like it is, man.

1534
01:20:22,784 --> 01:20:25,887
[Victor] Looking for that ego's edge.
It was countered nicely.

1535
01:20:25,954 --> 01:20:28,256
It wasn't exactly pretty,
but it was effective.

1536
01:20:28,323 --> 01:20:31,259
Right back in.
And now Evans with a double stop

1537
01:20:31,326 --> 01:20:33,662
doing some damage to Page's ribs.

1538
01:20:33,728 --> 01:20:35,797
Talk about turnabouts. Fair play.

1539
01:20:35,864 --> 01:20:39,067
-Bam! Super kick.
-[Booker] Love the heart of this young OG.

1540
01:20:39,134 --> 01:20:42,871
He's going to fight.
Now, he looked like he may want to fly.

1541
01:20:42,938 --> 01:20:45,574
[Victor] Who's going
to pick up the victory?

1542
01:20:45,640 --> 01:20:48,143
Here tonight in our massive main event.

1543
01:20:52,814 --> 01:20:53,915
Back live on NXT.

1544
01:20:53,982 --> 01:20:56,184
This is our main event
and Ethan Page has been taking it

1545
01:20:56,251 --> 01:20:58,420
to the number one contender
for the NXT Championship,

1546
01:20:58,486 --> 01:20:59,788
that being Je'Von Evans.

1547
01:20:59,855 --> 01:21:01,389
Speaking of that championship,

1548
01:21:01,456 --> 01:21:03,658
the man who holds that title
sitting to my left,

1549
01:21:03,725 --> 01:21:05,694
the one and only Trick Williams.

1550
01:21:05,760 --> 01:21:10,065
And for Ethan Page, he was attacked
by Oro Mensah during the Battle Royal.

1551
01:21:10,131 --> 01:21:12,100
Said he wasn't
officially eliminated from it.

1552
01:21:12,167 --> 01:21:14,069
Oro has been banned from the building.

1553
01:21:14,135 --> 01:21:18,240
Let the track record show in recent weeks
has been very, very busy here.

1554
01:21:18,306 --> 01:21:21,042
But there's been a lot of excuses
from Ethan Page.

1555
01:21:21,109 --> 01:21:23,645
Earlier tonight, Battleground,
Battle Royal,

1556
01:21:23,712 --> 01:21:25,780
has blamed everybody, but taken what?

1557
01:21:25,847 --> 01:21:27,349
[Booker] Excuses.

1558
01:21:27,415 --> 01:21:29,918
He was not eliminated
from the Battle Royal

1559
01:21:29,985 --> 01:21:34,422
in his mind and literally
he still is in the Battle Royal right now.

1560
01:21:34,489 --> 01:21:37,058
The Battle Royal in his mind
is still going on, Vic.

1561
01:21:37,125 --> 01:21:39,894
[Victor] Trick, I'm gonna look at you
because right now Ethan Page

1562
01:21:39,961 --> 01:21:43,098
is fighting with malicious intent

1563
01:21:43,164 --> 01:21:46,868
and he adds to it
with a vicious power slam.

1564
01:21:46,935 --> 01:21:48,803
-[Booker] Beautiful!
-[Victor] Cover…

1565
01:21:48,870 --> 01:21:52,374
And some way Evans able to kick out
and continue to fight.

1566
01:21:52,440 --> 01:21:55,176
But there's something
you said earlier to Evans

1567
01:21:55,243 --> 01:21:58,513
and I wonder if it gets
under the skin of Ethan Page.

1568
01:21:58,580 --> 01:21:59,981
Is he an outsider?

1569
01:22:00,048 --> 01:22:01,716
Do you truly believe that, Trick?

1570
01:22:01,783 --> 01:22:05,220
That that man, "All Ego,"
is an outsider to this brand?

1571
01:22:05,287 --> 01:22:06,521
Yes, he is an outsider.

1572
01:22:06,588 --> 01:22:08,790
It's not because he comes
from another world.

1573
01:22:08,857 --> 01:22:11,259
That has nothing to do with it.
Trick Williams comes from another world.

1574
01:22:11,326 --> 01:22:14,262
But he came in, he found his place
and he worked for his position.

1575
01:22:14,329 --> 01:22:16,031
Ethan Page coming here,
takes a shortcut.

1576
01:22:16,097 --> 01:22:18,533
They can try to catch a shortcut tonight
just to get to a title match.

1577
01:22:18,600 --> 01:22:20,702
[Booker] What kind of question is that?

1578
01:22:20,769 --> 01:22:24,472
-What question?
-If he's an outsider. The thing is,

1579
01:22:24,539 --> 01:22:26,641
Ethan Page, he wants to be an outsider.

1580
01:22:26,708 --> 01:22:30,578
He wants to come in here
and shut this whole damn thing down.

1581
01:22:30,645 --> 01:22:32,847
Including Trick Williams.
That's what I'm talking about.

1582
01:22:32,914 --> 01:22:33,982
[Trick] He can try.

1583
01:22:34,049 --> 01:22:36,451
[Victor] Trying to get
to that bottom rope and succeeds.

1584
01:22:36,518 --> 01:22:39,754
But look at Page, holding on
for every possible second,

1585
01:22:39,821 --> 01:22:43,358
continuing to damage
the back, the ribs and the midsection,

1586
01:22:43,425 --> 01:22:45,193
which are already heavily damaged.

1587
01:22:45,260 --> 01:22:49,397
[Booker] Ethan Page is dismantling
this young OG piece by piece.

1588
01:22:49,464 --> 01:22:52,100
Surgical man. It's beautiful.

1589
01:22:52,167 --> 01:22:55,437
It's a beautiful thing.
I hate it for this young man

1590
01:22:55,503 --> 01:22:58,373
in his career path because it definitely
makes shorten it.

1591
01:22:58,440 --> 01:23:03,211
-But that's on him. That's on him, Vic.
-Ethan Page, who loves to be the villain,

1592
01:23:03,912 --> 01:23:06,114
able to be countered by Evans and somehow,

1593
01:23:06,181 --> 01:23:08,616
Booker, you got to give it up
to Je'Von Evans.

1594
01:23:08,683 --> 01:23:11,987
Evans continuing to fight,
blacking out all the pain.

1595
01:23:12,053 --> 01:23:14,823
-[Trick] That's right.
-[Booker] He's not going to quit.

1596
01:23:14,889 --> 01:23:17,759
He's not the young OG for no reason.

1597
01:23:17,826 --> 01:23:20,528
He's going to step in there
and do his own test.

1598
01:23:20,595 --> 01:23:22,897
[Trick] It ain't no fun
when the rabbit got the gun.

1599
01:23:22,964 --> 01:23:24,065
Come on, OG.

1600
01:23:25,367 --> 01:23:28,503
[Victor] Right now, the young OG,
he's getting bouncy.

1601
01:23:29,270 --> 01:23:30,105
You got to remember, Trick,

1602
01:23:30,171 --> 01:23:31,506
this is the man
you're going to meet at Heatwave,

1603
01:23:31,573 --> 01:23:34,209
two weeks from Sunday for the NXT title.

1604
01:23:34,275 --> 01:23:36,611
Able to slide out of the way. So smooth.

1605
01:23:36,678 --> 01:23:39,147
Bam! So crisp. It's Je'Von Evans.

1606
01:23:39,214 --> 01:23:40,815
[Booker] God, man.

1607
01:23:40,882 --> 01:23:44,753
[Victor] And Evans now looking to fly.

1608
01:23:44,819 --> 01:23:48,890
-[Booker] It is special.
-[crowd] Young OG!

1609
01:23:48,957 --> 01:23:50,992
[Victor] Big fly clothesline.
But the body.

1610
01:23:51,059 --> 01:23:55,230
Into the cover, into the count. And Page.

1611
01:23:56,731 --> 01:23:58,433
Able to kick out.

1612
01:23:58,867 --> 01:24:04,372
Gotta wonder though,
how much damage is Evans doing to himself?

1613
01:24:04,439 --> 01:24:07,842
As back to the live action.
Was looking for that springboard cutter.

1614
01:24:07,909 --> 01:24:10,578
And able to counter
just by falling out of the way

1615
01:24:10,645 --> 01:24:12,047
was Ethan Page.

1616
01:24:12,914 --> 01:24:15,517
Page, who called his opponent tonight,

1617
01:24:16,418 --> 01:24:18,620
a young man, a young guy, teenager.

1618
01:24:18,686 --> 01:24:20,255
I mean, that was just a comment

1619
01:24:20,321 --> 01:24:22,757
that Ethan Page knew
would piss off Je'Von Evans.

1620
01:24:22,824 --> 01:24:23,992
This is our main event.

1621
01:24:24,059 --> 01:24:26,227
Evans, who won the Battle Royal tonight,

1622
01:24:26,294 --> 01:24:29,664
become the number one contender
to Trick Williams and the NXT title.

1623
01:24:29,731 --> 01:24:32,000
Looking for a second victory of the night.

1624
01:24:32,067 --> 01:24:34,068
But Ethan Page able to kick out.

1625
01:24:34,135 --> 01:24:37,238
And it's Page who still believes
he is in That Battle Royal,

1626
01:24:37,305 --> 01:24:41,342
was never eliminated
from that Battle Royal due to Oro Mensah.

1627
01:24:41,409 --> 01:24:44,312
And he's going to deal with Oro
on his time

1628
01:24:44,379 --> 01:24:45,613
the next time they cross paths.

1629
01:24:45,680 --> 01:24:48,716
But right now,
looking to continue to punish Evans.

1630
01:24:48,783 --> 01:24:50,251
And Evans, nice reversal

1631
01:24:50,318 --> 01:24:54,689
from that power slam
to the DDT to the cover and only…

1632
01:24:55,457 --> 01:24:56,691
to a near fall.

1633
01:24:56,758 --> 01:24:59,194
Get in there, OG. Come on, young OG.

1634
01:24:59,260 --> 01:25:02,263
[Victor] At this point in the night,
you gotta wonder who's in the worst shape.

1635
01:25:02,330 --> 01:25:04,466
The victorious energy filled Evans,

1636
01:25:04,532 --> 01:25:07,102
whose damage is well documented
to the ribs

1637
01:25:07,168 --> 01:25:09,838
Or the beaten down, frustrated Ethan Page.

1638
01:25:09,904 --> 01:25:13,741
And Page at the last moment.
Again to the ribs.

1639
01:25:13,808 --> 01:25:16,478
-[Booker] Yes, man.
-[Victor] Gut wrench style

1640
01:25:16,544 --> 01:25:20,115
by Ethan Page looking for ego's edge.

1641
01:25:20,682 --> 01:25:22,750
-With an exclamation point,
-One…

1642
01:25:22,817 --> 01:25:25,186
-Ethan Page has defeated
-…two, three.

1643
01:25:25,253 --> 01:25:27,222
-[bell rings]
-the number one contender.

1644
01:25:28,990 --> 01:25:34,062
[announcer]
Here is your winner, Ethan Page.

1645
01:25:34,829 --> 01:25:37,499
-You got a glove, Book?
-You got to do number one contender.

1646
01:25:39,134 --> 01:25:42,637
[Victor]
One step ahead. Back to the injured ribs.

1647
01:25:42,904 --> 01:25:44,739
Ego's edge connects.

1648
01:25:45,206 --> 01:25:50,111
Ethan Page picks up the victory,
his first in NXT.

1649
01:25:50,178 --> 01:25:54,516
And in doing so,
defeated the number one contender.

1650
01:25:55,283 --> 01:26:00,155
And I'm sure "All Ego"
is gonna do nothing but gloat.

1651
01:26:00,221 --> 01:26:04,225
[Trick] I got what you want, dog.
I'm the one that got what you want.

1652
01:26:04,292 --> 01:26:06,261
Hold on, man.
I gotta take care of this.

1653
01:26:08,263 --> 01:26:10,832
I'm the one that got what you want.

1654
01:26:10,899 --> 01:26:14,736
I guess that means I'm number contender.
I'm the guy you got.

1655
01:26:16,337 --> 01:26:21,543
[Victor] Book! It's Shawn Spears,
who just ran out down the tunnel.

1656
01:26:21,609 --> 01:26:24,546
Trick Williams,
he's not going to stand for that.

1657
01:26:24,612 --> 01:26:26,014
Going right at Spears.

1658
01:26:26,080 --> 01:26:29,350
And no the numbers game with Ethan Page.

1659
01:26:32,020 --> 01:26:34,489
-[Vic] What the hell is this?
-[Book] Beat down, Vic.

1660
01:26:34,556 --> 01:26:37,025
[Victor] Yeah, you can say that again.
It's a mugging.

1661
01:26:38,927 --> 01:26:41,996
Now you still say Ethan Page.
You still think this is fair?

1662
01:26:42,063 --> 01:26:43,364
Shawn Spears is down here

1663
01:26:43,431 --> 01:26:45,500
-picking up the scraps.
-Concern yourself with business

1664
01:26:45,567 --> 01:26:47,669
that concern you. That's business, Vic.

1665
01:26:47,735 --> 01:26:48,970
This is business.

1666
01:26:51,773 --> 01:26:53,708
[Victor] Oh, Evans!

1667
01:26:54,576 --> 01:26:56,544
Just cutting down everyone.

1668
01:26:58,213 --> 01:27:01,249
[Victor] Where the hell
does Evans get this from?

1669
01:27:02,550 --> 01:27:05,420
Take another look. Unreal.

1670
01:27:06,054 --> 01:27:10,158
Bodies are scattered
because Evans got bouncy.

1671
01:27:10,224 --> 01:27:12,894
Finally took up the two men that have
beaten him down,

1672
01:27:12,961 --> 01:27:15,430
one being Shawn Spears,
the other Ethan,

1673
01:27:15,496 --> 01:27:17,699
who's not turned the page
on Trick Williams,

1674
01:27:17,765 --> 01:27:20,468
our NXT champion
finds himself in the middle of chaos.

1675
01:27:20,535 --> 01:27:24,372
I hope Ava can handle
the Heatwave that's coming to NXT.

1676
01:27:27,442 --> 01:27:29,010
Subtitles: Ed Boon

the Heatwave that's coming to NXT.
