1
00:00:03,470 --> 00:00:04,704
[announcer] Then

2
00:00:08,241 --> 00:00:09,242
now,

3
00:00:14,280 --> 00:00:15,281
forever

4
00:00:23,656 --> 00:00:24,657
together.

5
00:00:32,365 --> 00:00:34,334
[Ava] All right, guys,
there's been a lot going on at NXT

6
00:00:34,401 --> 00:00:35,702
over these past couple weeks.

7
00:00:35,769 --> 00:00:39,205
We've had a lot of new talent.
Literally anyone could show up tonight.

8
00:00:39,272 --> 00:00:43,209
I mean, we've had people from Raw,
Smack Down, TNA, former talent,

9
00:00:43,276 --> 00:00:44,511
the list goes on and on.

10
00:00:44,577 --> 00:00:47,147
But, with that said, there's been
a lot of new issues coming up.

11
00:00:47,213 --> 00:00:51,384
I mean, we've had issues in the parking
lot, in the stands, in the locker room.

12
00:00:51,451 --> 00:00:53,420
So I really, really need
you guys focused tonight.

13
00:00:53,486 --> 00:00:55,655
I do not want anything going wrong. Okay?

14
00:00:55,722 --> 00:00:57,290
[inaudible]

15
00:00:57,357 --> 00:00:58,358
[Ava] Thank you.

16
00:00:59,893 --> 00:01:03,263
[Vic] Ava,
taking every precaution here tonight.

17
00:01:06,166 --> 00:01:07,067
[bell rings]

18
00:01:07,133 --> 00:01:11,638
[announcer] The following
is the NXT Tag Team Turmoil.

19
00:01:11,704 --> 00:01:16,943
And the winner receives
a tag team title match at NXT Heatwave.

20
00:01:17,010 --> 00:01:21,481
Introducing first, the team of Edris Enofé

21
00:01:21,548 --> 00:01:23,983
and Malik Blade!

22
00:01:24,050 --> 00:01:28,121
[Vic inaudible] general manager
because a week from Sunday,

23
00:01:28,188 --> 00:01:29,389
it's NXT Heatwave.

24
00:01:29,456 --> 00:01:32,459
[man] New Catch Republic!

25
00:01:40,567 --> 00:01:43,470
[announcer] And their opponents,
the team of Tyler Bate

26
00:01:43,536 --> 00:01:46,840
and the "Bruiser weight" Pete Dunn,

27
00:01:46,906 --> 00:01:50,877
New Catch Republic!

28
00:01:50,944 --> 00:01:54,547
[Vic] Booker, both these men have been
NXT Tag Team champions in the past.

29
00:01:54,614 --> 00:01:58,051
They have not, however,
been tag team champions together.

30
00:01:58,118 --> 00:02:02,889
Could they be on the verge
of finally wearing gold as a team?

31
00:02:03,389 --> 00:02:06,426
[Booker] Well, look at these guys
[inaudible] it's the same back in the day.

32
00:02:06,493 --> 00:02:11,397
Twin sons from different mothers.
These guys are on the same page.

33
00:02:11,464 --> 00:02:17,137
They easily could go out here tonight.
They cash in that ticket. Oh, yes, man.

34
00:02:17,604 --> 00:02:19,005
[Vic] Let's take a look
at the rules of this match.

35
00:02:19,072 --> 00:02:21,207
[inaudible] Tag Team Turmoil.

36
00:02:21,274 --> 00:02:23,810
These are the two teams that will start.
You're eliminated.

37
00:02:23,877 --> 00:02:26,212
Pinfall, submission, disqualification,
count out.

38
00:02:26,279 --> 00:02:27,780
Once you're eliminated, you're gone.

39
00:02:27,847 --> 00:02:32,218
The next team that is lined up randomly
will come through the curtain,

40
00:02:32,285 --> 00:02:33,353
will enter the match-up,

41
00:02:33,419 --> 00:02:36,356
and the winning team
of Tag Team Turmoil, of course,

42
00:02:36,422 --> 00:02:42,262
receives an NXT Tag Team title match
at Heatwave in Toronto.

43
00:02:42,962 --> 00:02:47,267
And what a match to kick off
the hottest thing on Tuesday, NXT.

44
00:02:47,333 --> 00:02:50,036
And when you take a look at Enofé,
you take a look at Blade,

45
00:02:50,103 --> 00:02:52,572
they're going to need
a lot of luck to survive.

46
00:02:52,639 --> 00:02:54,641
Same could be said for New Catch Republic.

47
00:02:54,707 --> 00:02:56,809
This is a bad draw for both these teams.

48
00:02:56,876 --> 00:03:00,146
[Booker] I've been very critical
as far as Enofé and Blade goes,

49
00:03:00,213 --> 00:03:02,348
but I'm going tell you, I want to give
these guys a chance tonight.

50
00:03:02,415 --> 00:03:05,518
They can go out here and show me
something, show me something, Enofé,

51
00:03:05,585 --> 00:03:07,053
Show me something, Blade.

52
00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:09,722
[Vic] That's a little bit of a good luck
charm, maybe from you, Booker.

53
00:03:09,789 --> 00:03:11,724
-[inaudible] of course, Reece.
-[Booker] I want to like these guys.

54
00:03:11,791 --> 00:03:12,659
I want to like them.

55
00:03:12,725 --> 00:03:14,360
[Vic] You wouldn't know
by your commentary.

56
00:03:14,427 --> 00:03:15,295
[crowd cheers]

57
00:03:15,361 --> 00:03:19,165
[Vic] Tyler Bate right now having
a little bit of fun in this match-up.

58
00:03:19,232 --> 00:03:22,468
He and Pete Dunne, of course,
coming over from Monday Night Raw.

59
00:03:22,535 --> 00:03:24,437
You know, when you think about turmoil,

60
00:03:24,504 --> 00:03:27,173
is there turmoil
within the Tag Team Champions?

61
00:03:27,540 --> 00:03:29,242
Frazer has his eyes elsewhere, of course,

62
00:03:29,309 --> 00:03:31,177
he's got a Heritage Cup match
coming up later tonight.

63
00:03:31,244 --> 00:03:33,980
[Booker] It may look like they're not
on the same page, but I must say,

64
00:03:34,047 --> 00:03:36,182
Frazer, he's never phoned it in, Vic.

65
00:03:36,249 --> 00:03:40,520
He's always been there for his partner.
This guy just loves to compete.

66
00:03:40,587 --> 00:03:44,891
-I love his attitude, his mentality.
-[Vic] Tag was made laid now.

67
00:03:44,958 --> 00:03:46,226
[Booker] Yes!

68
00:03:46,292 --> 00:03:48,661
[Vic] Big offense
from both these superstars.

69
00:03:48,728 --> 00:03:50,230
-Double drop kick.
-[Booker] That's what I'm talking about.

70
00:03:50,296 --> 00:03:51,831
These guys are just focused.

71
00:03:51,898 --> 00:03:55,501
If they can get the right coaching
to get on the right game, man,

72
00:03:55,568 --> 00:03:58,771
-they might actually do something.
-[Vic] Are they in their heads then

73
00:03:58,838 --> 00:04:00,907
a little bit too much--
a double blockbuster!

74
00:04:00,974 --> 00:04:03,776
[Booker] Yeah, I really think so.
Thinking too much in this business

75
00:04:03,843 --> 00:04:07,547
could be a detriment right now.
If you could just stay on the gas,

76
00:04:07,614 --> 00:04:10,717
just stick to the basics.
Stick to the-- Oh, yes!

77
00:04:10,783 --> 00:04:13,219
[Vic] Another blockbuster
with a spine buster twist

78
00:04:13,286 --> 00:04:15,221
and a near-fall in this match.

79
00:04:15,288 --> 00:04:18,057
And we talk about the tag team titles.
Of course we want to…

80
00:04:18,124 --> 00:04:21,427
I'll say somewhat of a congratulations
to the new World Tag Team Champions

81
00:04:21,494 --> 00:04:24,530
crowned last night,
JD McDonagh and Finn Bálor.

82
00:04:24,597 --> 00:04:27,133
[inaudible] offhand Blade
for a half second away

83
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,436
from a tag team title opportunity
in Toronto.

84
00:04:31,604 --> 00:04:34,173
[Booker] I'll tell you,
that's what is all about, it's for a shot,

85
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:38,344
a shot at glory, Vic,
the NXT Tag Team Championship.

86
00:04:38,411 --> 00:04:40,380
Whoa, man!

87
00:04:40,446 --> 00:04:45,051
[Vic] Hot Tui for one from Bate and Dunne.

88
00:04:45,251 --> 00:04:49,889
And now Tyler Bate risking it all
for a golden opportunity.

89
00:04:49,956 --> 00:04:52,692
Back into the ring,
Dunne looking for the bitter end.

90
00:04:52,759 --> 00:04:53,926
Countered by Enofé!

91
00:04:53,993 --> 00:04:54,927
DDT!

92
00:04:54,994 --> 00:04:58,598
[Booker] That's what I'm talking about.
He got it. Here we go.

93
00:04:58,665 --> 00:05:01,567
[Vic] Oh, my word!

94
00:05:01,634 --> 00:05:02,802
And how wise of Enofé.

95
00:05:02,869 --> 00:05:05,672
I think, six months ago,
he would have been looking around,

96
00:05:05,738 --> 00:05:07,874
-but now he's got his foot on the gas.
-[Booker] Exactly what I'm talking about.

97
00:05:07,940 --> 00:05:12,512
-[Vic] To the top. Oh!
-[Booker] Oh, man. Got caught right there.

98
00:05:12,578 --> 00:05:14,480
[Vic] Tag was made. Bate is now legal.

99
00:05:14,547 --> 00:05:16,249
[Booker] The tide has shifted.

100
00:05:17,517 --> 00:05:22,622
[Vic] And now the New Catch Republic
looking for the elimination!

101
00:05:23,456 --> 00:05:26,325
-Into the cover, Tyler Bate.
-[crowd] One, two, three!

102
00:05:26,392 --> 00:05:28,728
[Vic] And they survive for now.

103
00:05:28,795 --> 00:05:32,565
[Announcer] Edris Enofé and Malik Blade
have been eliminated.

104
00:05:33,299 --> 00:05:36,402
[Vic] And, again,
once you're eliminated, you're out.

105
00:05:36,469 --> 00:05:41,274
And take a look who is arriving next.

106
00:05:42,675 --> 00:05:44,777
It's Angel. It's Humberto.

107
00:05:44,844 --> 00:05:47,980
And there's no love lost
between these superstars.

108
00:05:48,981 --> 00:05:52,285
From Smack Down,
close to tag team gold in the past,

109
00:05:52,352 --> 00:05:55,521
representing of course
Legado Del Fantasma.

110
00:05:55,588 --> 00:05:57,690
But take a look at the double submission.

111
00:05:58,791 --> 00:06:01,094
We talked about the tag
team champions, of course,

112
00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,162
Frazer in action later
tonight against D'Angelo.

113
00:06:03,229 --> 00:06:04,731
We talked about for the Heritage Cup,

114
00:06:04,797 --> 00:06:06,265
he's looking to become a double champ

115
00:06:06,332 --> 00:06:09,469
as tag team turmoil continuing
in a huge main event still to come.

116
00:06:09,535 --> 00:06:12,038
Trick Williams taking on Shawn Spears.

117
00:06:12,105 --> 00:06:13,473
[Booker] Look at Tyler Bate right now.

118
00:06:13,539 --> 00:06:15,908
I mean, he just went through a battle,
but he steals it.

119
00:06:15,975 --> 00:06:19,278
Very fresh, but right there, blind tag.
Didn't see it.

120
00:06:19,345 --> 00:06:20,446
Oh, man!

121
00:06:20,513 --> 00:06:23,916
[Vic] He didn't see it,
but he certainly felt it.

122
00:06:25,218 --> 00:06:31,657
Angel, Humberto, both were in the Battle
Royal last week. Oh, as was Tyler Bate.

123
00:06:31,724 --> 00:06:33,893
A different battle here tonight.

124
00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:38,264
[Booker] I like the methodical approach
right here by Angel Garza

125
00:06:38,331 --> 00:06:42,535
just taking Tyler Bate apart,
piece by piece, slowing it down.

126
00:06:42,602 --> 00:06:45,605
Right now he's in a rhythm.
I love it, man.

127
00:06:45,671 --> 00:06:49,242
[Vic] We talked about it from the start.
At the top a few moments ago,

128
00:06:50,243 --> 00:06:54,614
luck would play a huge part
in this match-up for Edris and Malik,

129
00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,016
but also for the New Catch Republic.

130
00:06:57,083 --> 00:06:59,952
-Tyler Bate and Dunne got a bad draw.
-[Booker] Yeah.

131
00:07:00,019 --> 00:07:02,221
[Vic] And this is why
there's fresh teams waiting.

132
00:07:02,288 --> 00:07:05,424
[Booker] It's so hard, it's just so hard
to prepare for a match-up like this.

133
00:07:05,491 --> 00:07:10,296
Tag Team Turmoil is all about, you know,
what's your gas tank look like?

134
00:07:10,363 --> 00:07:12,532
What kind of cardio
you've been putting in?

135
00:07:12,598 --> 00:07:13,900
Like the-- Oh, man!

136
00:07:13,966 --> 00:07:16,969
[Vic] High impact tag team tandem offense.
Burnt toe cover.

137
00:07:18,738 --> 00:07:19,806
[Booker] Woah, man.

138
00:07:19,872 --> 00:07:22,108
Instinctual kick out right there, Vic.

139
00:07:22,175 --> 00:07:26,445
[Vic] Take another look at this high
impact offense from Angel and Humberto.

140
00:07:26,512 --> 00:07:30,116
And again, if a pin would have happened,
Bate and Dunne would have been eliminated.

141
00:07:30,183 --> 00:07:32,652
They would have went back
to the locker room and the next team

142
00:07:32,718 --> 00:07:35,955
would have made their way out.
There's five total teams in this match-up.

143
00:07:36,022 --> 00:07:38,357
Angel and Humberto
were team number three.

144
00:07:38,424 --> 00:07:41,594
And Tyler Bate now putting on
the brakes as…

145
00:07:42,495 --> 00:07:44,931
Angel doesn't really-- Excuse me,
Humberto doesn't realize

146
00:07:44,997 --> 00:07:48,768
that Tyler Bate
has taken control of this match.

147
00:07:51,204 --> 00:07:53,439
Maybe he did, because Angel
just ran a little bit of interference.

148
00:07:53,506 --> 00:07:55,641
[Booker] No, no, no,
just beautiful tag team work

149
00:07:55,708 --> 00:07:58,878
right there by Angel and Humberto,
they're fresh, they're fresh,

150
00:07:58,945 --> 00:08:01,481
don't have any sweat on them
or anything like that.

151
00:08:01,547 --> 00:08:02,982
-Oh, here we go.
-[Vic] Into the cover and--

152
00:08:03,049 --> 00:08:06,285
Done with a double stop.
Breaking things up.

153
00:08:06,686 --> 00:08:09,589
Kind of wonder what's going through
the minds of the tag team champions,

154
00:08:09,655 --> 00:08:12,291
who are focused in on this match-up.

155
00:08:12,692 --> 00:08:15,328
And these four are just
flying around the ring.

156
00:08:15,928 --> 00:08:18,431
High octane offense in this match-up.

157
00:08:18,498 --> 00:08:22,268
[Booker] Oh, we in the high rent district
right there, Vic.

158
00:08:22,335 --> 00:08:24,203
Here we go.

159
00:08:27,039 --> 00:08:30,510
[Vic] What is on Angel and Humberto's
mind, of course, [inaudible]

160
00:08:30,576 --> 00:08:33,579
the marching orders of [inaudible]

161
00:08:33,646 --> 00:08:34,547
It's Apollo.

162
00:08:34,614 --> 00:08:36,048
[Booker] What the hell
is he doing out here?

163
00:08:36,115 --> 00:08:38,551
-That's Apollo Crews.
-[Booker] The hell is he doing out here?

164
00:08:38,618 --> 00:08:41,687
-He's not in the tournament.
-[Vic] Apollo Crews had his issue.

165
00:08:41,754 --> 00:08:46,125
Thankfully we got all that extra security
here tonight trying to get Apollo back.

166
00:08:46,192 --> 00:08:50,630
But that distraction just opened the door
for the big strong boi

167
00:08:50,696 --> 00:08:53,633
to hit the Tiger driver '97.

168
00:08:53,699 --> 00:08:55,568
-[Booker] [inaudible]
-[Crowd] One, two, three!

169
00:08:55,635 --> 00:08:57,270
[Vic] Three!

170
00:08:58,137 --> 00:09:00,806
[Announcer] Angel and Humberto
have been eliminated.

171
00:09:02,608 --> 00:09:04,877
[Vic] Another team is gone.

172
00:09:04,944 --> 00:09:08,147
And look who was waiting in the wings.

173
00:09:08,214 --> 00:09:09,849
A pair of good brothers.

174
00:09:09,916 --> 00:09:14,453
[Booker] The boys, man, they coming
to take care of business the hard way.

175
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,623
I love this, man. I love it.

176
00:09:18,291 --> 00:09:20,426
[Vic] Gallows, Anderson.

177
00:09:23,062 --> 00:09:26,799
They were close in Las Vegas
to the tag team titles.

178
00:09:26,866 --> 00:09:28,801
They're still on the hunt for gold.

179
00:09:29,502 --> 00:09:31,671
[Booker] It's going to be quick.
It's going to be quick here tonight.

180
00:09:31,737 --> 00:09:37,276
[Vic] What a great draw. Which team
will continue in this turmoil match-up?

181
00:09:39,812 --> 00:09:41,547
Back live on NXT

182
00:09:41,614 --> 00:09:46,452
in Tag Team Turmoil as you witness,
still going on with the fourth team,

183
00:09:46,519 --> 00:09:49,422
which is The OC against
the first team that entered,

184
00:09:49,488 --> 00:09:51,424
Tyler Bate and Pete Dunne.

185
00:09:51,490 --> 00:09:54,293
And Bate taking Anderson for the ride.

186
00:09:57,663 --> 00:10:01,701
-[crowd cheers]
-[Booker] Oh, here we go!

187
00:10:03,135 --> 00:10:05,171
[Vic] Here we go. We don't know
when it's gonna end, Book.

188
00:10:05,237 --> 00:10:06,405
[Booker] Yeah.

189
00:10:09,809 --> 00:10:10,810
Man.

190
00:10:11,344 --> 00:10:12,445
[Karl] Holy shit.

191
00:10:12,511 --> 00:10:16,482
[Vic] And somehow, some way,
Tyler Bate back to his feet.

192
00:10:16,549 --> 00:10:17,350
[Booker chuckles]

193
00:10:17,416 --> 00:10:19,118
I tell you, Tyler Bate,

194
00:10:19,185 --> 00:10:21,520
he does seem to have caught a second wind

195
00:10:21,587 --> 00:10:25,257
because he was being dominated
in the break, Vic.

196
00:10:25,324 --> 00:10:29,595
[Vic] Well, we know that The OC is hungry
but you know who else is hungry?

197
00:10:29,662 --> 00:10:34,133
The New Catch Republic.
Anderson able to help out Luke Gallows.

198
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,103
-And Gallows just dropped.
-[Booker] Veteran move.

199
00:10:37,169 --> 00:10:40,573
Veteran move by Karl Anderson right there.

200
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,509
-I love it, man.
-[Vic] And again, Tag Team Turmoil,

201
00:10:43,576 --> 00:10:45,745
-the winner of this match--
-[Booker] Oh…

202
00:10:45,811 --> 00:10:49,081
-Here we go, Magic City.
-[Vic] Looking for Magic Killer and--

203
00:10:49,148 --> 00:10:50,449
Oh, wait a minute.

204
00:10:50,516 --> 00:10:52,651
-Inside [inaudible]
-[crowd] One, two--

205
00:10:52,718 --> 00:10:55,554
[Vic] They got another one! Unreal!

206
00:10:56,555 --> 00:10:59,025
[Announcer] Gallows and Anderson
have been eliminated.

207
00:10:59,825 --> 00:11:02,028
[Vic] We thought it was going to be
bad luck.

208
00:11:02,595 --> 00:11:05,498
New Catch Republic-- Oh…

209
00:11:05,564 --> 00:11:09,235
Ready to go to school. There's… OTM?

210
00:11:13,439 --> 00:11:17,109
Sure OTM getting a big old smile
and a laugh

211
00:11:17,176 --> 00:11:20,346
with everything that's gone down
between OTM and The OC.

212
00:11:20,413 --> 00:11:24,717
But Book, we got to focus on here
and the now because here's Chase U.

213
00:11:24,784 --> 00:11:26,452
This is Tag Team Turmoil.

214
00:11:26,519 --> 00:11:31,057
They're the final team taking on
the first team, New Catch Republic.

215
00:11:31,123 --> 00:11:34,794
The winning team heads to Toronto
Money in the Bank weekend.

216
00:11:34,860 --> 00:11:38,230
[Booker] Yes, New Catch Republic tonight,
Vic, I must say

217
00:11:38,297 --> 00:11:42,101
they're looking special.
I mean they're on the same page.

218
00:11:42,168 --> 00:11:46,706
They're rowing at the same time
to get to that destination.

219
00:11:46,772 --> 00:11:47,673
And that's a shot.

220
00:11:47,740 --> 00:11:50,342
-Oh, man.
-[Vic] Chase U is fresh.

221
00:11:50,409 --> 00:11:52,745
Former NXT tag team champions.

222
00:11:52,812 --> 00:11:55,281
And still to come here tonight,
a big match-up

223
00:11:55,347 --> 00:11:58,150
for the No Quarter Catch Crew
if Tavian Heights wins,

224
00:11:58,217 --> 00:12:01,353
he becomes a member of the NQCC.

225
00:12:01,420 --> 00:12:05,925
[Crowd]… A-S-E-U.

226
00:12:05,991 --> 00:12:08,194
-[Andre] What's that?
-[crowd] Chase U!

227
00:12:08,260 --> 00:12:10,096
[Vic] And one of these teams
will head to Heatwave.

228
00:12:10,162 --> 00:12:13,833
Sol Ruca, Arianna Grace,
which one of those two women

229
00:12:13,899 --> 00:12:18,104
will head to Toronto to compete for the
Women's North American Championship?

230
00:12:18,170 --> 00:12:20,406
[Booker] See, that's what you get
for showboating right there.

231
00:12:20,473 --> 00:12:22,541
You just go in there
and take care of business.

232
00:12:22,608 --> 00:12:25,377
That's what I'm talking about with
Andre Chase, you see what I'm saying?

233
00:12:25,444 --> 00:12:29,315
This is the same guy, Vic, this is
the same guy we've been talking about.

234
00:12:29,381 --> 00:12:32,151
[crowd] … three, four, five, six,

235
00:12:32,218 --> 00:12:35,588
seven, eight, nine, ten.

236
00:12:35,654 --> 00:12:37,022
[Booker] [inaudible]

237
00:12:37,089 --> 00:12:39,358
[Vic] I'm assuming that your point
is still being proven

238
00:12:39,425 --> 00:12:41,293
-by what we just--
-[Booker] I mean, come on.

239
00:12:41,360 --> 00:12:43,262
I mean, he could have had a win by now.

240
00:12:43,329 --> 00:12:48,267
All of that playing and diving around,
ain't nobody got time for that.

241
00:12:48,334 --> 00:12:51,036
[Vic] Andre Chase not looking
too hot right now in this moment.

242
00:12:51,103 --> 00:12:55,341
You saw a little glance between Ridge
Holland and Pete Dunne a moment ago.

243
00:12:55,407 --> 00:13:00,045
But a tag was made, and in comes the MVP!

244
00:13:00,112 --> 00:13:01,814
[Booker] Oh, wow!

245
00:13:02,515 --> 00:13:05,985
[Vic] And Duke Hudson showing you
why he and Andre Chase,

246
00:13:06,051 --> 00:13:08,287
former NXT tag team champions.

247
00:13:08,354 --> 00:13:11,257
[Booker] I like him. Let the MVP
take care of business.

248
00:13:11,323 --> 00:13:13,626
This is the same guy
who should be the president

249
00:13:13,692 --> 00:13:15,594
of this university right here.

250
00:13:15,661 --> 00:13:18,164
Duke Hudson, a damn MVP.

251
00:13:18,230 --> 00:13:19,765
[Vic] Well, you can give credit
to Duke Hudson,

252
00:13:19,832 --> 00:13:22,735
but you also gotta give credit
to Andre Chase and everyone in Chase U.

253
00:13:22,801 --> 00:13:27,439
[Booker] That move right there
is called a childhood dream. There it is.

254
00:13:27,506 --> 00:13:28,841
A childhood dream.

255
00:13:28,908 --> 00:13:30,409
How do you get "childhood dream"
out of that?

256
00:13:30,476 --> 00:13:31,577
[Booker] He told me this.

257
00:13:31,644 --> 00:13:33,546
[Vic] Well, Chase U has been rolling
as of late.

258
00:13:33,612 --> 00:13:36,482
The OC Wouldn't necessarily agree
with that from last week

259
00:13:36,549 --> 00:13:39,451
and the New Catch Republic
might not agree with it, right?

260
00:13:39,518 --> 00:13:43,289
But there's no stopping
Duke Hudson in this moment.

261
00:13:44,490 --> 00:13:46,258
Looking for that power bomb.

262
00:13:46,325 --> 00:13:47,960
[Booker] Oh, flipped out the back door.

263
00:13:48,027 --> 00:13:51,363
[Vic] Oh, there's the big strong boi.

264
00:13:55,034 --> 00:13:57,603
And Duke Hudson right back in.

265
00:13:57,670 --> 00:13:59,705
-[Booker] Oh, man, right--
-[Vic] Into the cover

266
00:13:59,772 --> 00:14:01,507
-to get to Heat Wave.
-[crowd] One, two.

267
00:14:01,574 --> 00:14:02,675
-[Booker] Oh, man!
-[Vic] And another kick out.

268
00:14:02,741 --> 00:14:06,846
I mean, luck has become a big part
of this match-up for Bate and Dunne.

269
00:14:06,912 --> 00:14:09,481
[Booker] That wasn't luck, that was
a lot of heart by Tyler Bate

270
00:14:09,548 --> 00:14:12,017
because his head
bounced off the mat right there.

271
00:14:12,084 --> 00:14:14,153
Easy little thing down [inaudible]

272
00:14:14,453 --> 00:14:15,854
[Vic] You see that [inaudible]?

273
00:14:15,921 --> 00:14:17,223
It was almost right between the eyes.

274
00:14:17,289 --> 00:14:19,892
That's one way to counter
Duke Hudson's power, there's--

275
00:14:19,959 --> 00:14:22,995
Wait a minute. His legs are shaking!

276
00:14:23,062 --> 00:14:25,231
-[Booker] Wow!
-[Vic] The earth is quaking

277
00:14:25,297 --> 00:14:27,733
with a big suplex from Bate.

278
00:14:27,800 --> 00:14:30,269
[Booker] You got to be kidding me.

279
00:14:30,336 --> 00:14:33,405
[crowd] Big, strong boi! Big strong boi!

280
00:14:36,742 --> 00:14:40,679
[Vic] Big point in this match-up.
Look who's legal. Look who's fresh.

281
00:14:40,746 --> 00:14:45,150
It's Chase and it's Dunne.
And Dunne right now is in control.

282
00:14:47,953 --> 00:14:52,625
Dunne and Bate would love to finally
call themselves NXT tag team champions,

283
00:14:53,325 --> 00:14:58,597
as Andre Chase now with the upper hand,
for at least a moment.

284
00:14:59,064 --> 00:15:03,002
Oh, speaking of hand, look at the body,
the joint manipulation.

285
00:15:03,068 --> 00:15:04,236
Tag was made.

286
00:15:04,303 --> 00:15:07,473
Dunne able to break the hold
into a sit down power bomb.

287
00:15:07,539 --> 00:15:09,875
Bate, though, is legal, Booker,
Bate's legal.

288
00:15:09,942 --> 00:15:12,177
[Booker] Yes, [inaudible] landing there.

289
00:15:13,345 --> 00:15:16,448
[Vic] Into the cover.
And Hudson saving this match-up.

290
00:15:16,515 --> 00:15:17,416
[Booker] The MVP,

291
00:15:18,050 --> 00:15:20,619
the President.
The President just broke it up.

292
00:15:20,686 --> 00:15:24,490
[Vic] That was a unique cover from
Tyler Bate off the belly to back suplex.

293
00:15:24,556 --> 00:15:28,027
But he can be president, he can be MVP.

294
00:15:28,093 --> 00:15:32,197
He's not going to be able to sign
any papers with broken fingers.

295
00:15:32,264 --> 00:15:34,300
[Booker] [inaudible]

296
00:15:34,366 --> 00:15:36,935
[Vic] Looking for the Tyler driver
one more time is Bate.

297
00:15:37,870 --> 00:15:39,171
Andre Chase.

298
00:15:40,139 --> 00:15:41,707
That's a nasty landing for Chase.

299
00:15:41,774 --> 00:15:47,146
Same can be said for all the bodies
around the floor right now.

300
00:15:47,212 --> 00:15:49,381
And the only one standing is [inaudible]

301
00:15:51,150 --> 00:15:54,119
Rich Howard just sacrificed
himself for Andre Chase.

302
00:15:54,186 --> 00:15:55,688
[Booker] [inaudible]

303
00:15:55,754 --> 00:15:57,957
[Vic] The referee
I don't think realized it.

304
00:15:58,023 --> 00:16:00,359
I don't think the referee saw
what exactly happened.

305
00:16:00,426 --> 00:16:02,227
Andre Chase from the top.

306
00:16:02,962 --> 00:16:07,032
-Hard cross body connects into the cover.
-[Crowd] …two, three.

307
00:16:07,099 --> 00:16:11,103
[Vic] And Chase U has won
Tag Team Turmoil.

308
00:16:12,271 --> 00:16:14,840
[Announcer] Here are your winners,
Chase University.

309
00:16:14,907 --> 00:16:19,678
Duke Hudson and Andre Chase.

310
00:16:21,313 --> 00:16:26,051
[Vic] Let the celebration begin because
Chase U is going international.

311
00:16:26,118 --> 00:16:29,054
They earned an opportunity
to face Axiom and Frazer

312
00:16:29,121 --> 00:16:33,859
for the NXT tag team titles
at NXT Heatwave.

313
00:16:39,965 --> 00:16:40,966
[All] Ooh.

314
00:16:42,501 --> 00:16:44,603
[Karmen] Roxanne's back face
didn't even phase.

315
00:16:46,605 --> 00:16:48,340
I mean, look, she's smiling.

316
00:16:48,974 --> 00:16:50,376
[Roxanne] Roxanne what?

317
00:16:51,977 --> 00:16:53,078
What are you watching?

318
00:16:54,613 --> 00:16:56,515
Didn't you despise Lola a few weeks ago?

319
00:16:56,582 --> 00:16:59,151
And now, all of a sudden,
you're best friends because you beat her?

320
00:16:59,218 --> 00:17:00,919
[Karmen] Roxy, look, I don't like Lola,

321
00:17:00,986 --> 00:17:02,788
but I gotta give credit
where credit's due.

322
00:17:02,855 --> 00:17:04,423
I mean, yeah, I beat Lola in a tag

323
00:17:04,490 --> 00:17:06,959
but did you see what she did
with Shayna in Underground?

324
00:17:07,292 --> 00:17:11,030
-Lola's on top of her game.
-[Roxanne] And clearly so am I.

325
00:17:11,096 --> 00:17:15,134
So remember, Karmen, you,
anyone in this locker room,

326
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:19,738
especially Lola Vice,
are incapable of reaching my level.

327
00:17:19,805 --> 00:17:22,841
[Karmen] Are you trying to make me
believe that or yourself?

328
00:17:22,908 --> 00:17:25,577
Cause it looks to me that you have
the same unsure look on your face

329
00:17:25,644 --> 00:17:27,346
as you did in the match with Lola.

330
00:17:28,547 --> 00:17:32,384
[Roxanne] Look, Carmen, why
don't you go back to watching the stars

331
00:17:32,451 --> 00:17:37,122
of the women's division and maybe
one day you'll get there.

332
00:17:37,189 --> 00:17:39,892
[Karmen] War Champ,
I can prove I already belong.

333
00:17:39,958 --> 00:17:41,193
[Woman] That's right.

334
00:17:43,295 --> 00:17:47,266
[Vic] Very interesting interaction between
those two. But there is All Ego,

335
00:17:47,332 --> 00:17:52,071
who's ready to speak his mind
to all those that will listen.

336
00:17:55,774 --> 00:18:00,446
Well, Booker, earlier today we learned
of the passing of Sika on Hawaii.

337
00:18:00,512 --> 00:18:04,316
And from the Isle of Samoa
to the WWE Hall of Fame,

338
00:18:04,383 --> 00:18:07,519
he will always have his seat at the table.

339
00:18:24,203 --> 00:18:25,871
[Dante] Nathan, you already have
a tag team partner,

340
00:18:25,938 --> 00:18:27,506
and I don't want to get
in the way of that.

341
00:18:27,573 --> 00:18:31,076
But, if you need someone to be a corner
man in your Heritage Cup match tonight,

342
00:18:31,143 --> 00:18:33,645
-I'm there for you, all right?
-[Nathan] All right. I appreciate that.

343
00:18:33,712 --> 00:18:35,714
You know, I'd like to say I have
all my bases covered

344
00:18:35,781 --> 00:18:38,817
but I haven't actually talked to Axiom
in a few days

345
00:18:38,884 --> 00:18:40,552
and have no idea where his head's at.

346
00:18:40,619 --> 00:18:42,855
And, dude, I can't go out there alone.
There's, like, four of them out there.

347
00:18:42,921 --> 00:18:44,022
[Axiom] Hey, Nathan.

348
00:18:44,623 --> 00:18:47,826
Dante, listen,
I've been thinking about this all week.

349
00:18:47,893 --> 00:18:50,662
And, although I am concerned
about your aspirations for more

350
00:18:50,729 --> 00:18:54,933
to get in the way of what we have,
I am your partner.

351
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,202
So tonight, I will be in your corner
against Tommy D'Angelo.

352
00:18:57,269 --> 00:18:58,570
-[Nathan] All right.
-[Dante] Very cool.

353
00:18:58,637 --> 00:19:01,640
I'm always ready to step in,
but this is your spot, Axiom.

354
00:19:01,707 --> 00:19:04,710
-And, Nathan, good luck out there.
-[Nathan] Cheers, mate.

355
00:19:05,010 --> 00:19:06,945
[Axiom] Brother, after tonight,

356
00:19:07,012 --> 00:19:10,415
yeah, you will be one half
of the NXT tag team champions.

357
00:19:10,482 --> 00:19:12,784
And two times Heritage Cup Champion.

358
00:19:12,851 --> 00:19:15,154
[Nathan] I knew you'd come around, amigo.
Let's go.

359
00:19:15,220 --> 00:19:16,922
But seriously, man,
I couldn't have done it without.

360
00:19:16,989 --> 00:19:19,258
[Vic] That's gotta be a morale boost
for Frazer.

361
00:19:19,324 --> 00:19:22,594
Heritage Cup Championship Match
still to come.

362
00:19:30,235 --> 00:19:34,006
[Announcer] Ladies and gentlemen,
please welcome

363
00:19:34,072 --> 00:19:39,311
"All Ego" Ethan Page.

364
00:19:39,378 --> 00:19:42,981
[Vic] Oh, it's Paige who picked up
his first NXT victory last week,

365
00:19:43,048 --> 00:19:46,051
and I'm sure he's here to gloat.

366
00:19:47,686 --> 00:19:49,655
[Booker] You damn right he here to gloat.

367
00:19:49,721 --> 00:19:51,790
This guy's a star.

368
00:19:57,095 --> 00:19:58,897
[Ethan] Ladies and gentlemen.

369
00:19:58,964 --> 00:20:01,066
[crowd boos]

370
00:20:01,133 --> 00:20:02,334
[Ethan] Heatwave.

371
00:20:02,901 --> 00:20:09,308
Oh, Heatwave is a week from Sunday,
and it is absolutely heating up.

372
00:20:09,374 --> 00:20:15,614
I mean, we just saw who's going to be
challenging for the NXT tag team titles.

373
00:20:15,981 --> 00:20:20,352
And this company… this company's
already announced the main event.

374
00:20:20,919 --> 00:20:26,525
They've announced who will be facing
Trick Williams for the NXT title,

375
00:20:26,592 --> 00:20:28,427
and it's going to be the winner,

376
00:20:29,227 --> 00:20:32,197
the winner of the Battle Royal,

377
00:20:32,264 --> 00:20:35,500
Je'Von Evans.

378
00:20:36,969 --> 00:20:40,772
[crowd] We want Trick!
We want Trick! We want Trick!

379
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:43,642
[Ethan] Yeah, yeah.

380
00:20:44,409 --> 00:20:49,147
Je'Von Evans, winner of the Battle Royal.
The only problem is that Je'Von Evans

381
00:20:49,214 --> 00:20:54,386
won a Battle Royal that Ethan Page
was never eliminated from.

382
00:20:56,121 --> 00:20:58,357
And what did I do after that?

383
00:20:58,423 --> 00:21:01,059
What did I do after that?
Oh, that's right.

384
00:21:01,126 --> 00:21:04,129
In the same night he became
number one contender,

385
00:21:04,196 --> 00:21:07,899
Ethan Page pinned his ass
in the middle of the ring.

386
00:21:08,934 --> 00:21:14,306
So, if you ask All Ego,
I think the match should be scrapped,

387
00:21:14,373 --> 00:21:20,112
because Je'Von Evans, yeah, he needs
to be out and All Ego needs to be in.

388
00:21:22,281 --> 00:21:23,382
So…

389
00:21:24,016 --> 00:21:25,550
So I'm going to keep it professional

390
00:21:26,184 --> 00:21:30,022
because now I would like to publicly
and professionally

391
00:21:30,088 --> 00:21:34,293
invite the general manager, Ava,
out here to change that main event.

392
00:21:34,359 --> 00:21:37,963
Unless, Ava, you might be busy right
now in your office with Trick Williams,

393
00:21:38,030 --> 00:21:43,201
who's probably begging you to never let
Ethan Page get another NXT title match.

394
00:21:43,268 --> 00:21:44,202
[music plays]

395
00:21:44,269 --> 00:21:47,039
This is good. This is good. Come on out.

396
00:21:48,507 --> 00:21:50,809
[Ava] Wow. Okay. All right.

397
00:21:50,876 --> 00:21:56,281
So I guess that All Ego
isn't just a catchphrase.

398
00:21:56,348 --> 00:21:58,216
You really believe it?

399
00:21:59,384 --> 00:22:01,420
-[Ethan] Of course I do.
-[Ava] You really think

400
00:22:01,486 --> 00:22:06,058
that you deserve the world
and that you can do no wrong.

401
00:22:06,124 --> 00:22:06,892
Yikes.

402
00:22:07,259 --> 00:22:08,994
[Ethan] Yes, exactly.

403
00:22:09,061 --> 00:22:13,198
When you're somebody like All Ego,
who constantly bets on himself,

404
00:22:13,265 --> 00:22:17,602
and every time he does,
he wins and levels up his career,

405
00:22:17,669 --> 00:22:20,238
the name All Ego is very warranted.

406
00:22:20,305 --> 00:22:23,608
So now that you're out here, Ava,
I think it's time for you to change

407
00:22:23,675 --> 00:22:27,045
-the main event of Heatwave real quick.
-[Ava] All right. Okay.

408
00:22:27,112 --> 00:22:29,381
So one thing about me, Ethan,
is I don't like it

409
00:22:29,448 --> 00:22:31,683
when superstars try to back me
into a corner.

410
00:22:31,750 --> 00:22:35,253
-And you're gonna learn that real quick.
-[Ethan] Okay, I'm sorry. Okay, okay.

411
00:22:35,887 --> 00:22:42,260
[Ava] But, unfortunately, you know,
in all fairness, you do have a point.

412
00:22:43,428 --> 00:22:45,397
You did pin Je'Von.

413
00:22:45,697 --> 00:22:47,265
[music plays]

414
00:22:47,332 --> 00:22:48,433
Okay.

415
00:22:50,302 --> 00:22:55,340
[Shawn] Ava, Ava,
I do apologize for the interruption,

416
00:22:55,407 --> 00:22:59,478
but I can't have you making
any rash decisions in this moment.

417
00:23:00,445 --> 00:23:03,448
Ethan, I don't have a problem
with you. Not at all.

418
00:23:04,349 --> 00:23:07,886
We've traveled the same roads.
We come from the same area.

419
00:23:07,953 --> 00:23:12,390
It's actually quite refreshing to see
somebody following in my footsteps.

420
00:23:14,693 --> 00:23:17,629
Literally taking my lead out here,

421
00:23:17,696 --> 00:23:20,399
boasting that last week
you defeated Je'Von Evans,

422
00:23:20,465 --> 00:23:23,568
but forgetting the simple
fact that two weeks ago,

423
00:23:23,635 --> 00:23:26,538
I was the guy who pinned Je'Von first.

424
00:23:27,539 --> 00:23:30,842
-So, before you try and weasel--
-[Ethan] Woah, woah, I don't understand

425
00:23:30,909 --> 00:23:35,213
how you're getting this all twisted
in that warped brain of yours, Shawn.

426
00:23:35,280 --> 00:23:38,950
I know I was a little busy with Oro
in that Battle Royal.

427
00:23:39,017 --> 00:23:41,219
Maybe I missed the ending.
Oh, no, that's right.

428
00:23:41,286 --> 00:23:42,587
You can watch the replay.

429
00:23:42,654 --> 00:23:45,257
I remember seeing your ass
get tossed over the top rope

430
00:23:45,323 --> 00:23:47,826
by Je'Von Evans and getting eliminated.

431
00:23:49,194 --> 00:23:52,998
[Shawn] And that is something you could
never do, even on your best day.

432
00:23:53,064 --> 00:23:54,232
[crowd] Ooh!

433
00:23:55,133 --> 00:23:57,335
[Shawn] Speaking of things
that you can't do,

434
00:23:57,402 --> 00:24:01,406
tonight, I'm going to pin Trick Williams.

435
00:24:02,073 --> 00:24:07,245
And after I beat Trick, I'm gonna make
Ava's decision a whole lot easier.

436
00:24:07,312 --> 00:24:09,014
[music plays]

437
00:24:10,448 --> 00:24:14,152
[crowd] Whoop that Trick!
Whoop that Trick!

438
00:24:14,219 --> 00:24:16,221
-Whoop that Trick!
-[Booker] What?

439
00:24:16,288 --> 00:24:18,156
-[crowd] Whoop that Trick!
-[Booker] Yeah.

440
00:24:18,223 --> 00:24:20,125
[Trick] Hey, yo.

441
00:24:20,192 --> 00:24:24,362
Shawn Spears, sit your goofy ass down.

442
00:24:24,429 --> 00:24:26,164
[crowd cheers]

443
00:24:27,232 --> 00:24:30,669
I'm gonna beat you up later tonight. So I
don't know why you doing all that talking.

444
00:24:31,736 --> 00:24:35,440
Now, Ava, when it comes
to my opponent at Heatwave,

445
00:24:35,507 --> 00:24:37,876
I'm gonna tell you right now,
it don't matter.

446
00:24:39,411 --> 00:24:41,646
I don't care if it's that bum Ethan Page.

447
00:24:42,481 --> 00:24:46,618
I don't care if it's the Young OG.
I don't care if it's both of them.

448
00:24:47,452 --> 00:24:48,587
[Ava] Ok.

449
00:24:50,755 --> 00:24:52,657
[Trick] But I do know one thing.

450
00:24:52,724 --> 00:24:56,027
When we get to Toronto,
the people will be chanting one thing,

451
00:24:56,094 --> 00:24:58,964
-and that is "Whoop that--
-[crowd] Whoop that Trick!

452
00:24:59,030 --> 00:25:00,732
[Booker] [inaudible]

453
00:25:00,799 --> 00:25:05,170
[Vic] Oh, much like last week,
it's a two-on-one beat down.

454
00:25:05,837 --> 00:25:08,740
Uh-huh.

455
00:25:09,841 --> 00:25:12,177
Things about to get bouncy, Book.

456
00:25:13,345 --> 00:25:16,648
-Evan's going right after Spears.
-[Booker] [inaudible]

457
00:25:17,849 --> 00:25:19,551
[Vic] Things are breaking down.

458
00:25:19,618 --> 00:25:23,221
Our general manager's in the ring
watching everything go down.

459
00:25:24,723 --> 00:25:27,826
And this is where we left off last week.

460
00:25:29,528 --> 00:25:33,331
And finally, there's some
of that extra security that Ava called for

461
00:25:33,398 --> 00:25:36,968
earlier tonight that she has
all around the building.

462
00:25:39,371 --> 00:25:45,110
Because animosity is heating up
as we head towards Heatwave,

463
00:25:45,176 --> 00:25:47,012
a week from Sunday.

464
00:25:47,078 --> 00:25:50,615
Money in the Bank weekend in Toronto.

465
00:25:56,288 --> 00:25:58,290
[Nathan] Ridge. Ridge.

466
00:25:58,356 --> 00:26:00,759
-What was that, man?
-[Pete] I still owe you a receipt.

467
00:26:00,825 --> 00:26:02,527
[Ridge] Listen, fellas,
Pete, no hard feelings.

468
00:26:02,594 --> 00:26:03,628
You just got a bad draw.

469
00:26:03,695 --> 00:26:05,363
[Pete] Listen, you were supposed
to go off on your own,

470
00:26:05,430 --> 00:26:07,766
and now you're wearing that
and standing with Chase you.

471
00:26:07,832 --> 00:26:09,634
[Woman] Ridge, you coming?

472
00:26:12,237 --> 00:26:13,872
[Nathan] So close, man. So close.
Just one moment.

473
00:26:13,939 --> 00:26:15,607
[Tank] Yo, fellas, you guys
crushed it out there, man.

474
00:26:15,674 --> 00:26:17,008
[Hank] I mean, you guys come out
in any other spot,

475
00:26:17,075 --> 00:26:19,244
you're gonna be in Toronto getting
the tag team titles for sure.

476
00:26:19,311 --> 00:26:20,612
-[Tank] Hands down.
-[Hank] Easy.

477
00:26:21,046 --> 00:26:23,381
[Nathan] You know what?
Thanks, guys. I really appreciate that.

478
00:26:23,448 --> 00:26:25,684
[Tank] I can see it. I get it.
You guys are bummed right now.

479
00:26:25,750 --> 00:26:27,285
And I've never been the best with timing.

480
00:26:27,352 --> 00:26:29,487
But what do you say next week
we get in the ring

481
00:26:29,554 --> 00:26:32,657
and test that New Catch Republic energy
versus the Hank and Tank energy.

482
00:26:32,724 --> 00:26:34,326
-[Hank] He's not really good with timing.
-[Tank] I know I'm not good with timing

483
00:26:34,392 --> 00:26:36,995
but we weren't in the turmoil tonight.

484
00:26:37,062 --> 00:26:39,030
But we want to experience it.
We want to get in the ring

485
00:26:39,097 --> 00:26:41,499
with a fantastic tag team like you guys.

486
00:26:41,566 --> 00:26:43,335
[Nathan] You know what?

487
00:26:43,401 --> 00:26:45,203
You got it. You guys got it.

488
00:26:45,270 --> 00:26:46,571
-[Tank] That's what I'm talking.
-[Hank] Let's do this.

489
00:26:46,638 --> 00:26:47,639
-[Tank] Sounds good.
-[Nathan] Sure.

490
00:26:47,706 --> 00:26:50,008
[Tank] Brother, come on,
it's an opportunity. Last time--

491
00:26:50,809 --> 00:26:54,079
[Vic] Nothing wrong with wanting
to test your skills against the best.

492
00:26:54,145 --> 00:26:57,315
-[Booker] I like Tank Ledger. I like him.
-[Vic] But as partner.

493
00:26:57,849 --> 00:26:59,184
-[Booker] Like I said.
-[bell rings]

494
00:26:59,250 --> 00:27:02,821
[Announcer] The following contest
is scheduled for one fall.

495
00:27:02,887 --> 00:27:06,791
Introducing first, Wes Lee!

496
00:27:06,858 --> 00:27:09,094
[Vic] A man who loves to take risks.

497
00:27:09,160 --> 00:27:13,331
It's Lee looking to take
Joe Coffey to the west side next.

498
00:27:16,167 --> 00:27:20,271
[Stevie] Robert, talk to me.
What do you want?

499
00:27:20,338 --> 00:27:23,308
Ava has enough going on as GM.

500
00:27:23,375 --> 00:27:25,944
[Robert] What do I want, Stevie?
What do you want?

501
00:27:26,011 --> 00:27:27,712
Look, I've been helping Ava.

502
00:27:27,779 --> 00:27:30,915
I've been helping Ava
make very high level decisions, okay?

503
00:27:30,982 --> 00:27:35,286
Dante Chen, the Combine.
Sol Ruca versus Arianna Grace.

504
00:27:35,353 --> 00:27:39,491
Let's be real. It was only a matter
of time until Ava saw I was an asset.

505
00:27:39,557 --> 00:27:43,828
-[Stevie] What you are is an ass.
-[Robert] Watch. Watch.

506
00:27:44,562 --> 00:27:47,165
[Stevie] I have been helping Ava
make decisions too.

507
00:27:47,232 --> 00:27:49,734
And I've been doing a much better job
of it than you.

508
00:27:50,368 --> 00:27:53,104
I volunteered to challenge Jordynne Grace.

509
00:27:53,171 --> 00:27:55,840
I spilled the tea
on Roxanne's little speech,

510
00:27:55,907 --> 00:27:59,978
and I give her the inside scoop
on everything that goes on around here.

511
00:28:00,045 --> 00:28:02,347
[Robert] Cool.
So you're saying you're a narc?

512
00:28:02,414 --> 00:28:03,748
[Stevie] What's a narc?

513
00:28:04,582 --> 00:28:07,619
[Robert] It's a snitch. You know what?
This isn't gonna work, ok?

514
00:28:07,686 --> 00:28:09,521
[Stevie] I couldn't agree more.

515
00:28:10,188 --> 00:28:13,358
[Robert] Well, I'm not going anywhere, so…

516
00:28:13,425 --> 00:28:14,759
[Stevie] Neither am I.

517
00:28:14,826 --> 00:28:17,829
And, when it comes to Ava,
I'm winning.

518
00:28:18,863 --> 00:28:23,501
[Robert] Stevie, you couldn't beat me
on your best day.

519
00:28:24,436 --> 00:28:25,437
[Stevie] Really?

520
00:28:26,771 --> 00:28:28,840
[Vic] Tell you what,
they argue more than us.

521
00:28:28,907 --> 00:28:31,910
[Booker] [inaudible] snitch.

522
00:28:34,145 --> 00:28:37,615
[Announcer] And his opponent,
representing Dallas,

523
00:28:37,682 --> 00:28:39,784
Joe Coffey!

524
00:28:39,851 --> 00:28:42,854
[Vic] I'm gonna let that one slide
because what a night we've embarked on.

525
00:28:42,921 --> 00:28:44,923
-[Booker] I'm just keeping it real.
-[Vic] I'm gonna keep it real, too.

526
00:28:44,989 --> 00:28:46,891
What a night this has been already.

527
00:28:47,358 --> 00:28:48,960
-Extra security surrounding the building.
-[bell rings]

528
00:28:49,027 --> 00:28:51,930
We have new number one contenders
for the tag team titles.

529
00:28:51,996 --> 00:28:53,732
That will be Chase U at Heatwave.

530
00:28:53,798 --> 00:28:55,166
We have a number one contenders match,

531
00:28:55,233 --> 00:28:58,236
the North American Women's Championship
match still to come,

532
00:28:58,303 --> 00:29:00,905
a Heritage cup championship match
in just moments.

533
00:29:00,972 --> 00:29:05,043
And Wes Lee right now
is trying to overcome the odds of Dallas.

534
00:29:05,110 --> 00:29:08,746
And he's taking a swing at everyone
but he took his eye off of Joe Coffey.

535
00:29:08,813 --> 00:29:12,550
[Booker] I'll tell you, man,
this is a bad, bad draw for Wes Lee.

536
00:29:12,617 --> 00:29:14,219
Gonna take a lot of big shots like that.

537
00:29:14,285 --> 00:29:17,689
I'm gonna tell you, Wes Lee out
of the frying pan, right into the fire.

538
00:29:17,755 --> 00:29:20,425
Man, I don't like this look right now,
Vic.

539
00:29:20,959 --> 00:29:22,293
[Vic] Wes Lee not liking it either.

540
00:29:22,360 --> 00:29:25,897
Joe Coffey made this match-up
a little bit too personal

541
00:29:25,964 --> 00:29:29,067
with everything
that has gone on since Battleground.

542
00:29:29,134 --> 00:29:30,535
-[Booker] Damn right.
-[Vic] Big back breaker.

543
00:29:30,602 --> 00:29:32,704
[Booker] …is personal because
you don't just come back and--

544
00:29:32,771 --> 00:29:34,539
-[Vic] Bam!
-[Booker] [inaudible]

545
00:29:34,606 --> 00:29:38,042
-You go to the back. Oh!
-[Vic] Elbow from Coffey.

546
00:29:38,109 --> 00:29:39,444
It wasn't pretty, but it was effective.

547
00:29:39,511 --> 00:29:42,013
And now Coffey into the cover,
hook of the leg.

548
00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:44,549
And a kick out by Wes Lee.

549
00:29:44,616 --> 00:29:46,518
[Booker] I got so much respect
for this young man.

550
00:29:46,584 --> 00:29:50,255
I always say that, perhaps,
the greatest North American champion

551
00:29:50,321 --> 00:29:51,756
-[Vic] Ooh!
-[Booker] in NXT's history.

552
00:29:51,823 --> 00:29:55,560
But, man, coming off that injury,
Vic, you got to get your place, man.

553
00:29:55,627 --> 00:29:57,295
[Vic] [inaudible] is always an issue.

554
00:29:57,362 --> 00:30:00,832
Might need some of that extra security
out here just to keep an eye on Wolfgang.

555
00:30:00,899 --> 00:30:02,567
And more Coffey on the outside,

556
00:30:02,634 --> 00:30:06,571
but Joe Coffey right now
is taking it to Wes Lee.

557
00:30:06,638 --> 00:30:10,842
Lee coming in, trying to quicken
a little bit of the pace-- and that DDT!

558
00:30:10,909 --> 00:30:13,745
-Just planted.
-[Booker] That was a hard shot.

559
00:30:13,812 --> 00:30:15,079
[Vic] Joe Coffey.

560
00:30:16,548 --> 00:30:18,316
Take a look at this match earlier.

561
00:30:18,950 --> 00:30:21,586
This kick right there.
Bam! Under the jaw.

562
00:30:21,653 --> 00:30:25,056
Joe Coffey was more disoriented
than Justin Timberlake in the Hamptons.

563
00:30:25,123 --> 00:30:28,893
And bam!
Another big DDT, this time from Wes Lee.

564
00:30:28,960 --> 00:30:30,962
This has been a slug fest.

565
00:30:31,029 --> 00:30:33,131
[Booker] I mean, Wes Lee's looking
real good right now,

566
00:30:33,198 --> 00:30:36,234
but you got the odds against him
right now.

567
00:30:36,301 --> 00:30:38,770
[Vic] Speaking of that, too,
is a take down from Wes Lee,

568
00:30:38,837 --> 00:30:41,673
who's a little bit more angry,
we should say,

569
00:30:41,739 --> 00:30:43,274
because he got a chip
on his shoulder.

570
00:30:43,341 --> 00:30:45,944
He seems to be back in the groove,
but he took a big risk last week.

571
00:30:46,010 --> 00:30:50,081
And was it wise of Wes to tell Oba Femi,
"I will never compete

572
00:30:50,148 --> 00:30:53,051
for the North American title again
as long as you're champion.

573
00:30:53,117 --> 00:30:54,919
Just give me one more opportunity."

574
00:30:54,986 --> 00:30:57,589
[Booker] If it was anybody else,
I would say that was not a wise decision,

575
00:30:57,655 --> 00:31:01,593
but Oba Femi, it may be
the only shot you want, man,

576
00:31:01,659 --> 00:31:03,828
because Oba, he's a monster.

577
00:31:03,895 --> 00:31:04,896
Oh, yes!

578
00:31:04,963 --> 00:31:08,733
[Vic] Big power slam. Cover in the center
of the ring, and a near-fall.

579
00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:10,235
Wes Lee able to kick out.

580
00:31:10,301 --> 00:31:12,904
And Lee now finds himself
in the same spot as Seth Rollins.

581
00:31:12,971 --> 00:31:15,206
If Rollins doesn't capture
the world title in Toronto,

582
00:31:15,273 --> 00:31:18,376
he can't challenge for the title again
as long as Priest is champion.

583
00:31:18,443 --> 00:31:20,879
As charging in there is Joe Coffey.

584
00:31:20,945 --> 00:31:22,981
And it's Coffey who,
in the back of his mind,

585
00:31:23,047 --> 00:31:25,650
is still looking for gold here in NXT

586
00:31:25,717 --> 00:31:26,618
-but from behind--
-[Crowd] One, two…

587
00:31:26,684 --> 00:31:29,254
[Vic] Oh, and another roll up
and a near-fall for Wes Lee.

588
00:31:29,320 --> 00:31:31,155
and Lee just got caught with a headbutt.

589
00:31:31,222 --> 00:31:33,725
[Booker] Great way to put yourself
in position for goal.

590
00:31:33,791 --> 00:31:37,095
Go out here and beat Wesley
in the middle of this squared circle.

591
00:31:37,161 --> 00:31:40,298
[Vic] And what has angered Joe Coffey
maybe more than anything

592
00:31:40,365 --> 00:31:43,301
was when the universe reminded him
last week that he was the one

593
00:31:43,368 --> 00:31:46,437
who was pinned in Las Vegas in that
triple threat match at Battleground.

594
00:31:46,504 --> 00:31:48,539
That has made him even more angry.

595
00:31:48,606 --> 00:31:51,476
That has made him want to hurt
all those that he faces.

596
00:31:51,542 --> 00:31:53,745
-And tonight it's Wes Lee.
-[Booker] It happens.

597
00:31:53,811 --> 00:31:58,283
But you don't see Joe Coffey crying
over spilled milk or anything like that.

598
00:31:58,349 --> 00:32:01,119
-If Joe gets you--
-[Vic] All the best for the bouncy.

599
00:32:01,185 --> 00:32:02,086
[Booker] Oh!

600
00:32:02,153 --> 00:32:05,390
-[Vic] Kicked in from the Cardiac Kid.
-[Crowd] One, two…

601
00:32:05,456 --> 00:32:09,093
-[Vic] And Lee overcomes Coffey tonight.
-[bell rings]

602
00:32:10,595 --> 00:32:15,166
[Announcer] Here is your winner, Wes Lee.

603
00:32:15,233 --> 00:32:18,937
[Vic] Last week, some said
there was doubt in the eyes of Wes Lee,

604
00:32:19,003 --> 00:32:24,275
but there's no doubt in my mind
that Wes Lee is prime and ready--

605
00:32:24,342 --> 00:32:25,710
[crowd]… two, three.

606
00:32:25,777 --> 00:32:31,115
[Vic] …for what the future holds,
whatever that may be for the Cardiac Kid.

607
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:37,355
[Oba] Wes, hey!

608
00:32:37,422 --> 00:32:40,758
[Vic] Holy… Booker, look, it's Oba.

609
00:32:40,825 --> 00:32:42,293
[Oba] Congratulations.

610
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:48,199
I see you've cleared your final hurdle
and now you've managed to secure a match,

611
00:32:48,266 --> 00:32:52,303
one-on-one for the first and final time.

612
00:32:52,370 --> 00:32:57,075
Wes Lee vs Oba Femi
for the North American championship.

613
00:33:00,845 --> 00:33:01,913
So, Wes,

614
00:33:02,680 --> 00:33:05,817
I'll see you at Heatwave.

615
00:33:07,585 --> 00:33:11,990
[Vic] It's Lee's final chance
as long as Femi is champion in Toronto.

616
00:33:12,056 --> 00:33:13,691
It takes place a week from Sunday.

617
00:33:13,758 --> 00:33:18,763
Lee - Femi for the North American title
at NXT Heatwave.

618
00:33:22,934 --> 00:33:25,436
[Luca] …the new champion [inaudible]

619
00:33:25,503 --> 00:33:26,437
-Let's Go.
-[Sarah] Excuse me.

620
00:33:26,504 --> 00:33:31,109
Tony D'Angelo, you're about to defend the
NXT Heritage Cup against Nathan Frazer.

621
00:33:31,175 --> 00:33:32,410
Any last minute thoughts?

622
00:33:32,477 --> 00:33:34,178
[Tony] Look, the only thing
I'm concerned about is

623
00:33:34,245 --> 00:33:36,280
what kind of after party
we're having, right?

624
00:33:37,715 --> 00:33:40,651
Look, no, seriously, this guy,
he's dangerously fast.

625
00:33:40,718 --> 00:33:44,122
I'm gonna have to slow him down.
He's the current NXT Tag champion.

626
00:33:44,188 --> 00:33:48,726
He's got a little more experience in these
cup matches than me, but Stacks and Luca,

627
00:33:48,793 --> 00:33:51,396
they gave me a game plan
and it's gonna work.

628
00:33:51,462 --> 00:33:53,898
I'm gonna punch him
in the mouth and see how he responds.

629
00:33:53,965 --> 00:33:58,970
But one thing I know for certain
is that the cup stays in the family.

630
00:33:59,404 --> 00:34:00,838
-[Sarah] Good luck.
-[Stacks] Let's go, Don.

631
00:34:02,507 --> 00:34:05,043
[Sarah] Tony D'Angelo
defends the NXT Heritage Cup

632
00:34:05,109 --> 00:34:07,445
against Nathan Frazer. Next.

633
00:34:10,214 --> 00:34:12,817
[inaudible]

634
00:34:12,884 --> 00:34:14,886
[Man] You asked for these photos
from your match last week.

635
00:34:16,754 --> 00:34:18,689
[Ridge] You need to get over it.
You won.

636
00:34:18,756 --> 00:34:19,791
[Thea] Oh, my goodness.

637
00:34:19,857 --> 00:34:21,993
[all celebrate]

638
00:34:25,329 --> 00:34:27,198
[Thea] Chase U, we're on the same page.

639
00:34:27,265 --> 00:34:28,766
We're unstoppable.

640
00:34:28,833 --> 00:34:32,036
[Andre] On the same page!

641
00:34:32,103 --> 00:34:33,304
The number one contenders.

642
00:34:33,371 --> 00:34:35,573
And one week from Sunday,
at Heatwave,

643
00:34:35,640 --> 00:34:40,578
Chase U goes international and becomes
the two-time NXT Tag Team champions.

644
00:34:40,645 --> 00:34:42,880
[Riley] I mean, I've just been
international, but I'll go again.

645
00:34:42,947 --> 00:34:44,515
-[Andre] Okay, let's go.
-[Thea] Chase U field trip!

646
00:34:44,582 --> 00:34:46,250
[inaudible]

647
00:34:46,317 --> 00:34:48,453
-[Riley] We're gonna celebrate.
-[Andre] Don't forget your passports.

648
00:34:48,519 --> 00:34:49,620
[Thea] We have to go.

649
00:34:51,456 --> 00:34:53,357
[inaudible]

650
00:34:56,761 --> 00:34:57,929
[bell rings]

651
00:34:57,995 --> 00:35:00,765
[Announcer] The following contest is for

652
00:35:00,832 --> 00:35:07,572
the NXT Heritage Cup Championship.

653
00:35:07,772 --> 00:35:11,242
And it will be contested
under Heritage Cup rules.

654
00:35:11,309 --> 00:35:13,377
Introducing the challenger.

655
00:35:13,444 --> 00:35:18,716
He is one half
of the NXT Tag Team Champions,

656
00:35:18,783 --> 00:35:24,522
Nathan Frazer.

657
00:35:24,589 --> 00:35:26,090
[crowd boos]

658
00:35:27,658 --> 00:35:29,460
[Announcer] And his opponent.

659
00:35:29,527 --> 00:35:33,131
Representing the D'Angelo family,

660
00:35:33,197 --> 00:35:39,437
he is the NXT Heritage Cup champion,

661
00:35:39,504 --> 00:35:43,641
the Don of NXT,

662
00:35:43,708 --> 00:35:49,280
Tony D'Angelo.

663
00:35:50,515 --> 00:35:52,617
[Vic] Well, Book, this will be
a match-up that you love,

664
00:35:52,683 --> 00:35:55,753
because it will be a good old scrap,
a good old fight.

665
00:35:55,820 --> 00:35:59,891
And let's take a look at the rules
for this NXT Heritage Cup match-up.

666
00:35:59,957 --> 00:36:01,592
Of course, you know
of the six three-minute rounds,

667
00:36:01,659 --> 00:36:04,495
we always talk about the crucial
20 seconds in-between the periods.

668
00:36:04,562 --> 00:36:05,730
It's really two out of three falls.

669
00:36:05,796 --> 00:36:08,833
You can see how you can score
a decision after six rounds,

670
00:36:08,900 --> 00:36:10,801
though the most falls is the winner.

671
00:36:10,868 --> 00:36:15,106
If it's tied,
the cup remains with the champion.

672
00:36:15,840 --> 00:36:17,708
Both these men are focused on each other.

673
00:36:17,775 --> 00:36:19,510
-because here we go.
-[bell rings]

674
00:36:19,577 --> 00:36:21,979
[Vic] It is started, the clock has begun.

675
00:36:22,046 --> 00:36:24,582
And Tony D'Angelo right now,
charging right in.

676
00:36:24,649 --> 00:36:26,784
But this is what Nathan Frazer
brings to the table.

677
00:36:26,851 --> 00:36:28,653
Speed. Speed. Speed.

678
00:36:28,719 --> 00:36:29,921
[Booker] Speed,

679
00:36:29,987 --> 00:36:34,025
agile, mobile, versatile.
He got all of that right there.

680
00:36:34,091 --> 00:36:37,762
And I think he's hungry, Vic.
He's very hungry. He's a competitor.

681
00:36:37,828 --> 00:36:39,297
-I talked about that earlier.
-[Vic] You did.

682
00:36:39,363 --> 00:36:42,400
And you know, I gotta remind everyone
that it was Tony who had Luca Crusifino

683
00:36:42,466 --> 00:36:44,468
drop a contract for this match-up.

684
00:36:44,535 --> 00:36:47,004
And that was because
he was eliminated last week

685
00:36:47,071 --> 00:36:49,173
in the Battle Royal by Nathan Frazer.

686
00:36:49,240 --> 00:36:52,143
And it's the tag team champions
who also now know,

687
00:36:52,210 --> 00:36:54,045
coming up a week from Sunday at Heatwave,

688
00:36:54,111 --> 00:36:57,181
as the pace is quickening
for Nathan Frazer.

689
00:36:57,248 --> 00:37:00,117
-[Booker] Oh!
-[Vic] [inaudible] down!

690
00:37:00,184 --> 00:37:02,486
-And he got him! Oh, my!
-[bell rings]

691
00:37:03,721 --> 00:37:06,257
[Announcer] Nathan Frazer
has scored the first fall.

692
00:37:07,124 --> 00:37:10,361
[Booker] Always expect the unexpected.

693
00:37:10,428 --> 00:37:11,996
[Vic] I couldn't even get
my Heatwave plug-in.

694
00:37:12,063 --> 00:37:13,331
[Booker] That was quick!

695
00:37:14,899 --> 00:37:16,133
[Vic] Unreal.

696
00:37:16,801 --> 00:37:18,769
Nathan Frazer. Look at the Don.

697
00:37:18,836 --> 00:37:21,639
The Don is ready, the Don is angry.

698
00:37:21,706 --> 00:37:24,041
The Don is maybe more focused now

699
00:37:24,108 --> 00:37:28,446
because he just tasted defeat
and is down one fall to none.

700
00:37:28,512 --> 00:37:30,414
-[bell rings]
-Booker, that was 40 seconds.

701
00:37:30,481 --> 00:37:32,183
And now we started round number two.

702
00:37:32,250 --> 00:37:33,784
Oh, quick take down.

703
00:37:33,851 --> 00:37:38,089
And now the power games
coming into effect for Tony D'Angelo.

704
00:37:38,155 --> 00:37:41,425
[Booker] Like Mike Tyson say,
plan goes out of the window

705
00:37:41,492 --> 00:37:43,261
when you get hit in the mouth.

706
00:37:43,327 --> 00:37:44,829
That's what the Don is looking for.

707
00:37:44,895 --> 00:37:47,131
[Vic] This is second televised defense
of the Heritage Cup,

708
00:37:47,198 --> 00:37:48,933
a unique match to this brand.

709
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:52,203
And it's D'Angelo who has upped his cardio
training you saw in the first round.

710
00:37:52,270 --> 00:37:55,439
Exactly why? Because of that speed.

711
00:37:56,374 --> 00:37:57,608
[Tony] What you got?

712
00:37:57,675 --> 00:38:01,345
[Vic] From Nathan Frazer, as we're now
30 seconds into round number two.

713
00:38:01,412 --> 00:38:03,681
But it is D'Angelo who is
on the back foot.

714
00:38:03,748 --> 00:38:05,983
Because if Frazer gets one more decision,

715
00:38:06,050 --> 00:38:09,053
the Heritage Cup goes back
to Nathan Frazer.

716
00:38:09,120 --> 00:38:11,856
He'll become
a two-time Heritage Cup champion

717
00:38:11,922 --> 00:38:15,326
and still be one half
of the NXT tag team champions.

718
00:38:15,393 --> 00:38:19,864
[Booker] Everything about that cup,
that's why he wants it so bad, Vic.

719
00:38:19,930 --> 00:38:21,198
[Vic] Well, he's obviously
coming into this

720
00:38:21,265 --> 00:38:23,067
with his strategy as a former champion.

721
00:38:23,134 --> 00:38:25,836
I mean, he's had more
of these matches than D'Angelo.

722
00:38:25,903 --> 00:38:27,872
That certainly can throw [inaudible]

723
00:38:27,938 --> 00:38:31,008
[Booker] As well as style make fights,
Vic,

724
00:38:31,075 --> 00:38:34,211
I think the style right now,
the match-up for the dead,

725
00:38:34,278 --> 00:38:35,579
excuse me, the match-up--

726
00:38:35,646 --> 00:38:36,681
-[Vic] Bam!
-[Booker] Oh!

727
00:38:36,747 --> 00:38:38,449
[Vic] Spine buster!

728
00:38:38,516 --> 00:38:40,651
-[inaudible]
-[Booker] Damn!

729
00:38:40,718 --> 00:38:42,219
-[bell rings]
-[Booker] That's that big shot.

730
00:38:43,054 --> 00:38:45,723
[Announcer] Tony D'Angelo
has scored the second fall.

731
00:38:45,790 --> 00:38:48,693
[Vic] And we are tied just like that.

732
00:38:48,759 --> 00:38:50,995
At one fall apiece.

733
00:38:51,062 --> 00:38:52,863
Round one's done, two's done.

734
00:38:52,930 --> 00:38:55,900
We're into round three.
And take a look at the corners right now.

735
00:38:55,966 --> 00:38:58,636
Axiom is here.
That's got to be a morale boost.

736
00:38:58,703 --> 00:39:01,138
But look at the Don.
He's on his feet, he's ready to fight.

737
00:39:01,205 --> 00:39:02,873
[Booker] He still looks fresh, Vic.

738
00:39:02,940 --> 00:39:07,244
That first fall seemed like it was just
a little hiccup in the game plan,

739
00:39:07,311 --> 00:39:09,513
but now we rolling, dawg.

740
00:39:09,580 --> 00:39:12,083
[Vic] Just driving the air
out of the lungs of Nathan Frazer.

741
00:39:12,149 --> 00:39:16,053
And you got to wonder if that's
what Stacks, Luca and Rizzo told the Don.

742
00:39:16,120 --> 00:39:17,421
Focus on the body.

743
00:39:17,488 --> 00:39:21,559
Don't allow Frazer to get back
to his feet, to utilize his speed.

744
00:39:21,625 --> 00:39:24,795
[Booker] [inaudible] looks great,
look at his body.

745
00:39:24,862 --> 00:39:28,733
Looks like he's trimmed.
He's been in the drip in the gym.

746
00:39:28,799 --> 00:39:31,836
He's been training. Oh, yes, man!

747
00:39:32,436 --> 00:39:35,439
[Vic] Unbelievable action in these first
two rounds. You can see the scoreboard.

748
00:39:35,506 --> 00:39:38,375
And it is tied at one.
The next fall, the next decision…

749
00:39:38,442 --> 00:39:41,612
-[Booker] Oh, bad move.
-[Vic] The cup goes with that superstar.

750
00:39:42,446 --> 00:39:44,782
And we're now 30 seconds
into round number three.

751
00:39:44,849 --> 00:39:47,284
And Frazer now getting
his second wind in this match-up.

752
00:39:47,351 --> 00:39:49,086
Puts on the brakes for a moment.

753
00:39:49,754 --> 00:39:51,322
Coming right back in.

754
00:39:51,388 --> 00:39:55,526
Big drop kick, rocking D'Angelo
all the way to the floor.

755
00:39:56,927 --> 00:40:01,031
This could be the moment that Nathan
Frazer needs, but he got caught!

756
00:40:01,098 --> 00:40:02,700
[Booker] Big time! Big time.

757
00:40:02,767 --> 00:40:05,169
[Vic] Too many risks, no reward.

758
00:40:05,236 --> 00:40:08,506
Who's walking out tonight
with the Heritage Cup?

759
00:40:12,843 --> 00:40:16,180
Back live here on NXT,
the Heritage Cup is on the line.

760
00:40:16,247 --> 00:40:18,616
Two minutes remaining here
in round number four,

761
00:40:18,682 --> 00:40:22,753
tied at one and Frazer has retaken
control of this match-up.

762
00:40:22,820 --> 00:40:27,124
It didn't work earlier, Book, but he moves
like a blur and he strikes like a cobra.

763
00:40:27,191 --> 00:40:30,261
And it was during the last break,
that last 20 seconds.

764
00:40:30,327 --> 00:40:35,499
Axiom on the outside really was able to
fire up Nathan Frazer for this match-up,

765
00:40:35,566 --> 00:40:38,702
maybe to give him that little extra push
that he needs,

766
00:40:38,769 --> 00:40:40,771
as Frazer charging right back in.

767
00:40:41,439 --> 00:40:43,741
And he's able to drop the Don.

768
00:40:43,808 --> 00:40:46,710
Because the next decision, Booker,
is the final one.

769
00:40:46,777 --> 00:40:48,412
Ninety seconds left in round four.

770
00:40:48,479 --> 00:40:52,883
Into the cover and a half second
from regaining the Heritage Cup

771
00:40:52,950 --> 00:40:53,851
with Nathan Frazer.

772
00:40:53,918 --> 00:40:57,455
[Booker] Nathan Frazer's letting
it all hang out right, right now, Vic.

773
00:40:57,521 --> 00:40:59,056
He's going to leave it all in the ring.

774
00:40:59,123 --> 00:41:02,960
It's all about one thing right now,
that Heritage Cup

775
00:41:03,027 --> 00:41:06,530
and becoming two-time, two-times.
Oh, yes, man.

776
00:41:06,597 --> 00:41:09,233
[Vic] Family's done a great job.
But also got to point out Axiom,

777
00:41:09,300 --> 00:41:12,503
it's great that he's here showing support
for his tag team partner

778
00:41:12,570 --> 00:41:14,872
as putting on the brakes
and then fading in.

779
00:41:14,939 --> 00:41:20,945
The Don with Frazer in one half of the
NXT Tag team champions just got caught.

780
00:41:21,011 --> 00:41:24,315
Looking for snake eyes.
Reverse countered, shoulders down.

781
00:41:24,381 --> 00:41:26,150
And another near-fall.

782
00:41:26,217 --> 00:41:28,519
-[Booker] So close at the end of the day.
-[Vic] Gotcha!

783
00:41:28,586 --> 00:41:29,687
[Booker] Hold on!

784
00:41:29,753 --> 00:41:34,358
[Vic] Another big spine buster with the
clock winding down and Frazer kicked out.

785
00:41:34,425 --> 00:41:35,392
[Booker] Wow.

786
00:41:37,928 --> 00:41:39,063
Talking about instinct.

787
00:41:39,129 --> 00:41:40,531
[Vic] Under 40 seconds, though, Booker.

788
00:41:40,598 --> 00:41:43,000
The Don right now,
this could be the opportunity.

789
00:41:43,067 --> 00:41:45,469
The family screaming at the Don.

790
00:41:45,536 --> 00:41:47,505
Axiom screaming at Frazer.

791
00:41:48,405 --> 00:41:52,142
Frazer and Axiom know
that they got a date at Heatwave

792
00:41:52,209 --> 00:41:54,278
with Chase U for the tag team titles,

793
00:41:54,345 --> 00:41:56,647
After Chase U won
Tag Team Turmoil tonight.

794
00:41:56,714 --> 00:41:59,316
And Frazer's trying to win
the Heritage Cup back.

795
00:41:59,483 --> 00:42:01,785
[Tony] Mike, give me Mike!

796
00:42:02,653 --> 00:42:03,754
[Vic] And the Don looking up.

797
00:42:03,821 --> 00:42:06,857
He's got 15 seconds left in this round.

798
00:42:06,924 --> 00:42:09,126
Oh, and he took too much time.

799
00:42:09,627 --> 00:42:13,197
Frazer, he can hear the clap,
which means he's got 10.

800
00:42:13,264 --> 00:42:15,266
He can see the clock. He's got five.

801
00:42:15,332 --> 00:42:20,571
Missile drop, kick off the top,
and both men run out of time.

802
00:42:20,638 --> 00:42:23,374
[Booker] Damn, what a fight.

803
00:42:24,141 --> 00:42:28,712
[Vic] You know, Book, I want to take you
back to the end of round number three.

804
00:42:28,779 --> 00:42:31,615
It was right here when the Don got caught.

805
00:42:31,682 --> 00:42:37,221
His knees buckled from Nathan Frazer,
who just couldn't claw to the cover,

806
00:42:37,288 --> 00:42:40,024
much like we just saw here
in round number four.

807
00:42:40,090 --> 00:42:44,161
In these closing moments, the clock
played such a toll in this match-up

808
00:42:44,228 --> 00:42:45,529
as the clock was ticking.

809
00:42:45,596 --> 00:42:50,234
That may have been the Don's
best chance moments ago to end this,

810
00:42:50,301 --> 00:42:51,735
because we're knotted at one.

811
00:42:51,802 --> 00:42:54,905
The next decision wins as we're entering
into round number five.

812
00:42:54,972 --> 00:42:57,675
And once again, Frazer going for that
kick. The Don's got it scouted.

813
00:42:57,741 --> 00:42:59,076
[Booker] I can tell you this,
I can tell you this.

814
00:42:59,143 --> 00:43:03,080
If the Don led one more big shot
like that big spine buster,

815
00:43:03,147 --> 00:43:05,516
this thing, trust me,
it's going to be over.

816
00:43:05,583 --> 00:43:08,052
[Vic] Don has grown very fond
of the Heritage Cup,

817
00:43:08,118 --> 00:43:10,554
so it looks great in his restaurant.

818
00:43:10,621 --> 00:43:13,624
[Booker] Oh, you see that?
Don favoring the shoulder right there.

819
00:43:13,691 --> 00:43:16,026
I don't know if he
tweaked something or not.

820
00:43:17,595 --> 00:43:20,965
[Vic] Tony, I'm peeking up to my monitor,
see what you're seeing. You know, Book--

821
00:43:21,031 --> 00:43:22,866
Oh, super kick!

822
00:43:22,933 --> 00:43:26,337
And that could bring
the Heritage Cup back to Frazer.

823
00:43:26,403 --> 00:43:28,072
And a kick-out by the Don.

824
00:43:28,138 --> 00:43:31,308
But if you're noticing that,
you have to assume that Axiom,

825
00:43:31,375 --> 00:43:35,012
maybe in that last 20-second period
told that to Nathan Frazer.

826
00:43:35,079 --> 00:43:38,015
[Booker] That window just opened right now
for Nathan Fra--

827
00:43:38,082 --> 00:43:40,618
-Oh!
-[Vic] Frazer got caught again.

828
00:43:40,684 --> 00:43:42,786
[Booker] That's the big shot
I was talking about.

829
00:43:42,853 --> 00:43:45,990
[Vic] Oh, and another near-fall.

830
00:43:46,056 --> 00:43:47,958
[Booker] You got to be kidding me.

831
00:43:48,025 --> 00:43:51,161
Because that was picture perfect.
Check it out, Vic.

832
00:43:51,228 --> 00:43:55,099
[Vic] All the air driven out of the lungs
of the challenger,

833
00:43:55,165 --> 00:43:58,302
as the champion now looking for--
Forget about it. But wait a minute.

834
00:43:58,369 --> 00:44:01,338
Inside cradle, inside cradle.
And a kick-out.

835
00:44:01,405 --> 00:44:04,208
You saw Luca Crusifino
screaming at the Don

836
00:44:04,274 --> 00:44:07,978
as we're under two minutes left here
in round number five.

837
00:44:08,045 --> 00:44:09,680
Frazer somehow landed on his feet.

838
00:44:09,747 --> 00:44:13,283
And Book, think about this in round five.
This is now deep waters.

839
00:44:13,350 --> 00:44:16,687
That's why this match-up is so unique.
You have to start, stop, start, stop.

840
00:44:16,754 --> 00:44:19,189
You have to keep your composure,
but also keep up your cardio.

841
00:44:19,256 --> 00:44:22,760
[Booker] Your corner is so very important
in a match-up like this.

842
00:44:22,826 --> 00:44:26,563
Just trying to keep you in the game, Vic,
trying to keep you motivated,

843
00:44:26,630 --> 00:44:30,100
because it's not going to be quick.
It's not going to be quick at all.

844
00:44:30,467 --> 00:44:32,670
[Vic] Underneath 90 seconds here
in round five.

845
00:44:32,736 --> 00:44:35,172
Don creating a little separation.
Close the door.

846
00:44:35,239 --> 00:44:39,643
And you mentioned that maybe
shoulder injury that you noticed.

847
00:44:39,710 --> 00:44:41,478
-[Booker] Yes.
-[Vic] You gotta think now.

848
00:44:41,545 --> 00:44:42,946
Nathan Frazer had to have known.

849
00:44:43,013 --> 00:44:44,548
[Booker] I'll tell you right now
exactly what I'm talking about.

850
00:44:44,615 --> 00:44:48,285
Nathan Frazer did the right thing, Vic.
Because you know me, man.

851
00:44:48,352 --> 00:44:50,921
It's all about winning.

852
00:44:51,555 --> 00:44:53,624
[Vic] And you gotta think, too,
as the referee's up to six.

853
00:44:53,691 --> 00:44:57,494
If this becomes a count-out,
the decision will go to Frazer.

854
00:44:57,561 --> 00:45:00,431
Referee's at eight.
The Don's just back to his feet at nine.

855
00:45:00,497 --> 00:45:04,635
And breaks the count.
But as he got in coast to coast,

856
00:45:04,702 --> 00:45:08,872
cover into that injured shoulder
and the Don…

857
00:45:08,939 --> 00:45:14,478
the Don is showing the NXT Universe
in the WWE Universe a lot right now.

858
00:45:14,545 --> 00:45:19,283
[Booker] [inaudible] but right now
he's vulnerable, man,

859
00:45:19,349 --> 00:45:21,351
he's very vulnerable.

860
00:45:21,418 --> 00:45:25,856
[crowd chants]

861
00:45:25,923 --> 00:45:27,424
[Vic] And this is for the Heritage Cup.

862
00:45:27,491 --> 00:45:29,626
Under 30 seconds here in round five.

863
00:45:29,693 --> 00:45:32,629
Tony D'Angelo, I just peaked up,
was having trouble,

864
00:45:32,696 --> 00:45:35,899
just trying to get some feeling
into his hands, but he's powering through.

865
00:45:35,966 --> 00:45:38,268
Adrenaline will make a man
do crazy things.

866
00:45:38,335 --> 00:45:42,172
As both the champion
and the challenger are teetering.

867
00:45:42,239 --> 00:45:46,643
With 10 seconds left in round five,
the Don is down.

868
00:45:47,211 --> 00:45:50,114
This could be Frazer's moment.
Can he beat the clock?

869
00:45:50,180 --> 00:45:52,783
[crowd] …three, two--
-[Vic] Phoenix splash!

870
00:45:53,717 --> 00:45:56,920
-And the Don is saved--
-[Booker] Wow!

871
00:45:57,621 --> 00:45:59,289
[Vic] by the bell.

872
00:46:00,424 --> 00:46:05,295
And, Book, how disheartening
could that be for an Nathan Frazer?

873
00:46:05,362 --> 00:46:09,533
Because I want to remind you, coming into
round number six, this is the final round.

874
00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:14,404
If this ends in a tie,
the cup stays with Tony D'Angelo.

875
00:46:14,471 --> 00:46:16,206
[Booker] Talk about [inaudible]
Tony D'Angelo.

876
00:46:16,273 --> 00:46:19,877
But he was just punching
at the ankle a second ago as well.

877
00:46:19,943 --> 00:46:21,445
Yeah, I think you missed that, Vic.

878
00:46:22,312 --> 00:46:23,614
[Vic] Now, I'm glad you pointed that out.

879
00:46:23,680 --> 00:46:25,449
Hey, Book, that's why they pay you
the big bucks.

880
00:46:25,516 --> 00:46:26,917
-[Booker] There it is. There it is.
-[bell rings]

881
00:46:26,984 --> 00:46:30,354
[Booker] That's why you're the best
in the biz, because Nathan Frazer saw it.

882
00:46:30,420 --> 00:46:32,256
Nathan Frazer put him
into the steel steps.

883
00:46:32,322 --> 00:46:35,259
And now Nathan Frazer
can win the Cup. Up and over.

884
00:46:35,325 --> 00:46:38,796
And right now for Tony D'Angelo,
he's gotta fight the clock.

885
00:46:38,862 --> 00:46:41,031
Into another cover. He just peaked up.

886
00:46:41,098 --> 00:46:45,636
Can Tony D'Angelo survive the next three
minutes as Frazer turns him around,

887
00:46:45,702 --> 00:46:50,374
turns him inside out?
Frazer can't hold back. It's now or never.

888
00:46:50,440 --> 00:46:53,744
That's gotta be his mindset, because
a tie doesn't do him a damn thing.

889
00:46:53,810 --> 00:46:57,748
[Booker] Somehow, Nathan Frazer
has found a second wind, Vic.

890
00:46:57,815 --> 00:46:59,616
-[Vic] Second and third.
-[Booker] He's going up top.

891
00:46:59,683 --> 00:47:02,152
[Vic] Looking for that Phoenix splash
one more time.

892
00:47:02,219 --> 00:47:04,454
30 seconds off the clock.
Don was able to get out of the way.

893
00:47:04,521 --> 00:47:06,957
Frazer, though, was able to see
it out of the corner of his eye.

894
00:47:07,024 --> 00:47:10,828
Got a foot up, just rocked back the dime.
Frazer just pulled himself to the top.

895
00:47:10,894 --> 00:47:12,529
There's no style points here, Nathan.

896
00:47:12,596 --> 00:47:15,032
You got to get a victory
in these final two minutes.

897
00:47:15,098 --> 00:47:17,668
[Booker] Oh, here we go, Vic.

898
00:47:17,734 --> 00:47:21,238
Hit the high risk district again.
Here we go!

899
00:47:22,005 --> 00:47:26,243
[Vic] Both men in precarious position
and I don't like Frazer's odds.

900
00:47:26,310 --> 00:47:29,346
Belly to belly, from the top.

901
00:47:30,214 --> 00:47:33,016
Right back in. Right back down.

902
00:47:33,617 --> 00:47:36,520
-This is how we got the spitfall earlier.
-[crowd] One, two, three!

903
00:47:36,587 --> 00:47:40,624
[Vic] And the Don is able
to gain the second decision.

904
00:47:40,924 --> 00:47:41,758
[Booker] Wow.

905
00:47:41,825 --> 00:47:46,296
[Announcer] Here's your winner
and still

906
00:47:46,363 --> 00:47:52,202
the NXT Heritage Cup champion,
the Don of NXT,

907
00:47:52,269 --> 00:47:57,040
Tony D'Angelo!

908
00:47:57,341 --> 00:47:59,877
[Vic] D'Angelo retains the cup

909
00:48:00,577 --> 00:48:06,450
with a huge belly to belly,
followed up by a lot of power.

910
00:48:06,516 --> 00:48:12,122
And that seemed to be the definite focus
in this match-up was the back, the spine

911
00:48:12,189 --> 00:48:15,659
to drive the air out of the lungs
of Nathan Frazer.

912
00:48:15,726 --> 00:48:18,095
Because that has to be
the hardest fought retention

913
00:48:18,161 --> 00:48:20,130
in quite some time of the Heritage Cup.

914
00:48:20,197 --> 00:48:24,268
But, for D'Angelo,
he keeps the cup in the family tonight.

915
00:48:26,570 --> 00:48:27,871
[Je'Von] Yo, yo, yo.

916
00:48:27,938 --> 00:48:29,539
-[Trick] Young OG.
-[Je'Von] What's up, man?

917
00:48:29,606 --> 00:48:31,541
[Trick] Look, I appreciate you
having my back earlier, bro.

918
00:48:31,608 --> 00:48:32,910
-Come on, that's good stuff.
-[Je'Von] You know I got you.

919
00:48:32,976 --> 00:48:33,944
You all right though?
You straight?

920
00:48:34,011 --> 00:48:35,112
[Trick] Of course, man, I'm good.

921
00:48:35,178 --> 00:48:36,947
[Je'Von] Look, I know you like [inaudible]

922
00:48:37,014 --> 00:48:40,017
but I can't let you go
out there by yourself.

923
00:48:40,217 --> 00:48:42,286
You know Ethan and Shawn
are really gunning for you,

924
00:48:42,352 --> 00:48:46,924
especially what happened earlier tonight.
So tonight I got your back.

925
00:48:46,990 --> 00:48:48,158
I'm in your corner,
you know what I'm saying?

926
00:48:48,225 --> 00:48:50,594
If they want to throw the hands again,
we gonna throw the hands.

927
00:48:50,661 --> 00:48:52,062
[Trick] Look, OG, look, man, I love that,

928
00:48:52,129 --> 00:48:53,630
-I appreciate that, but--
-[Je'Von] Sure.

929
00:48:53,697 --> 00:48:55,632
[Trick] Hey, man, look,
you got a match with me coming up.

930
00:48:55,699 --> 00:48:58,869
You worked hard for that opportunity.
You need to focus on that, man.

931
00:48:58,935 --> 00:49:01,271
Trust me, I've seen people
completely go crazy

932
00:49:01,338 --> 00:49:04,107
and lose their minds
over that title right there.

933
00:49:04,574 --> 00:49:06,910
So, besides, man, I get cautious
when people come around me,

934
00:49:06,977 --> 00:49:08,979
say they got my back and all that.

935
00:49:09,046 --> 00:49:11,048
I'd rather just lock in by myself today.

936
00:49:11,114 --> 00:49:13,383
You lock in, and I'm gonna see you
at Heatwave.

937
00:49:13,784 --> 00:49:18,388
[Je'Von] Hey, I feel that. All right.
Hey, you go out there, you do your thing.

938
00:49:18,455 --> 00:49:20,257
-[Trick] Yeah.
-[Je'Von] And you whoop that, Trick.

939
00:49:20,324 --> 00:49:23,393
-[Trick] I appreciate that, dawg.
-[Je'Von] Come on now. Straight like that.

940
00:49:27,331 --> 00:49:31,001
[Vic] On the topic of the NXT champion,
he is in action,

941
00:49:31,068 --> 00:49:33,770
as Trick Williams will face Shawn Spears.

942
00:49:33,837 --> 00:49:38,208
It's our main event.
It's live tonight here on NXT.

943
00:49:44,815 --> 00:49:47,184
And from one champion to another.

944
00:49:48,585 --> 00:49:49,486
[bell rings]

945
00:49:49,553 --> 00:49:52,990
[Announcer] The following contest
is scheduled for one fall.

946
00:49:53,056 --> 00:49:58,261
Introducing first,
she is the NXT women's champion,

947
00:49:58,328 --> 00:50:01,465
Roxanne Perez!

948
00:50:01,531 --> 00:50:03,500
[Vic] She's arrogant and boastful,

949
00:50:03,567 --> 00:50:07,704
but she looks to once again show
that no one is on her level.

950
00:50:13,744 --> 00:50:19,049
[Announcer] And her opponent,
Karmen Petrovic.

951
00:50:19,116 --> 00:50:22,953
[Vic] As we get back to live action
here in NXT.

952
00:50:23,520 --> 00:50:26,490
Petrovic not wanting to stand by
and be talked down to.

953
00:50:26,556 --> 00:50:29,593
Her karate background has made her
very strong minded.

954
00:50:29,659 --> 00:50:32,896
And, after the altercation
we saw between these two,

955
00:50:32,963 --> 00:50:36,433
Karmen Petrovic isn't just
going to walk away from Roxanne.

956
00:50:36,500 --> 00:50:39,836
[Booker] I have nothing but good things
to say about Petrovic, Vic.

957
00:50:39,903 --> 00:50:43,673
I mean, she's got a great look,
she's got a hell of a future.

958
00:50:43,740 --> 00:50:46,543
-But tonight, she's in the ring with--
-Uno, dos, tres, cuatro…

959
00:50:46,610 --> 00:50:48,645
[Booker] Oh…

960
00:50:48,712 --> 00:50:51,715
Shaggy doggy, quack.

961
00:50:51,948 --> 00:50:54,151
Quack!

962
00:50:56,787 --> 00:50:59,890
[Vic] Well, Roxanne Perez
did not like to see the sight…

963
00:50:59,956 --> 00:51:00,991
[Booker] Is he coming over here?

964
00:51:01,058 --> 00:51:02,726
[Vic] …of Lola Vice.

965
00:51:02,793 --> 00:51:07,264
[Booker] Give it up. Stand up.
Stand up. Stand up!

966
00:51:07,330 --> 00:51:09,933
-How you doing, Lola?
-[Vic] Are you going to--

967
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:12,402
-Hello, how are you?
-[Booker] You don't want to do that.

968
00:51:12,469 --> 00:51:14,438
-[Vic] What do you mean, no?
-[Booker] Don't want to shake his hand.

969
00:51:14,504 --> 00:51:16,773
-[Vic] What's wrong with you?
-[Booker] He's a snitch.

970
00:51:16,840 --> 00:51:18,408
[inaudible]

971
00:51:18,475 --> 00:51:20,510
[Vic] Focus on the match, Book.

972
00:51:20,577 --> 00:51:23,080
-As we get… Well, this is.
-[Booker] How you doing, Lola?

973
00:51:23,146 --> 00:51:26,249
[Lola] I had to come spice things up.
You know me.

974
00:51:26,316 --> 00:51:27,150
[Booker] [inaudible]

975
00:51:27,217 --> 00:51:29,986
[Vic] We're-- we're both married.
You don't need any spice.

976
00:51:30,053 --> 00:51:31,354
[Booker] [inaudible]

977
00:51:31,421 --> 00:51:35,792
[Vic] Calm down, Booker. You know,
I gotta ask, though, Lola out here.

978
00:51:35,859 --> 00:51:38,795
What was going through your mind
last week when…

979
00:51:38,862 --> 00:51:40,564
well, Roxanne Perez in control right now,

980
00:51:40,630 --> 00:51:42,966
hit you with a back fist
in the center of the ring?

981
00:51:43,567 --> 00:51:46,603
[Lola] You're funny.
Roxanne didn't hurt me.

982
00:51:46,670 --> 00:51:50,173
Nothing Roxanne does
could ever hurt me, Vic.

983
00:51:50,640 --> 00:51:53,944
[Vic] Roxanne Perez, right now,
looking up at Karmen Petrovic.

984
00:51:54,010 --> 00:51:55,245
She must be thrown off a little bit.

985
00:51:55,312 --> 00:51:58,849
Just as we are with
Lola Vice out here and joining us,

986
00:51:58,915 --> 00:52:02,085
getting a firsthand look
at the NXT women's champion.

987
00:52:02,152 --> 00:52:05,522
And, well, let's be honest, who are
you going to root for here right now?

988
00:52:05,589 --> 00:52:07,124
I don't know. You're going
to say nice things about Lola

989
00:52:07,190 --> 00:52:08,258
-or nice things about Roxanne?
-[Booker] Of course I'm going to say

990
00:52:08,325 --> 00:52:10,260
-nice things about Lola, Vic--
-[Lola] He better.

991
00:52:10,327 --> 00:52:12,062
[Vic] Not Roxanne, though.
I just want to let you know that.

992
00:52:12,129 --> 00:52:14,197
Big kick, though, from Petrovic.

993
00:52:14,264 --> 00:52:16,399
[Booker] We are right
into a big shot right there, man.

994
00:52:16,466 --> 00:52:19,903
[Vic] And I got to ask, too, Lola,
I mean, how do you feel when Perez says

995
00:52:19,970 --> 00:52:23,340
that you aren't and no one
is on her level?

996
00:52:23,406 --> 00:52:25,775
As she looks to prove that right now,
here against Petrovic?

997
00:52:25,842 --> 00:52:29,312
[Lola] On her level? Qué estúpida.
I'm on another level.

998
00:52:29,379 --> 00:52:31,548
These fists don't lie, baby.

999
00:52:31,615 --> 00:52:34,417
You saw what I did to Shayna Baszler
in Underground. She's next.

1000
00:52:34,484 --> 00:52:36,353
Her days are counted, I promise you.

1001
00:52:36,419 --> 00:52:38,421
[Vic] You remember that Underground match
in Battleground?

1002
00:52:38,488 --> 00:52:41,091
-[Booker] It was smoking, smoking hot.
-[Vic] Las Vegas is.

1003
00:52:41,158 --> 00:52:43,226
-[Lola] Always.
-[Vic] You know, Roxanne Perez

1004
00:52:43,293 --> 00:52:44,928
was watching that match-up as well.

1005
00:52:44,995 --> 00:52:46,863
Delivered an uppercut of her own
right back in,

1006
00:52:46,930 --> 00:52:48,532
looking for the Russian leg sweep.

1007
00:52:48,598 --> 00:52:52,936
Executed, floated over into the cover.
Just glanced over here

1008
00:52:53,937 --> 00:52:58,575
at Lola Vice, and Roxanne Perez,
maybe now is back into a groove.

1009
00:52:59,576 --> 00:53:01,111
Talking a little bit of trash.
And you know,

1010
00:53:01,178 --> 00:53:05,715
this is sending you a message right now,
Lola, what Roxanne Perez is doing

1011
00:53:05,782 --> 00:53:08,518
to Karmen Petrovic
in the center of the ring.

1012
00:53:08,985 --> 00:53:11,888
[inaudible] in the side of the ring, right
by us. But you get what I'm trying to say.

1013
00:53:11,955 --> 00:53:14,558
[Booker] No, no, I mean, like I say,
Roxanne Perez--

1014
00:53:14,624 --> 00:53:17,494
[Vic] Into the cover, hook of the leg,
and Petrovic-- another near-fall.

1015
00:53:17,561 --> 00:53:18,762
[Booker] She's in a zone, Vic.

1016
00:53:18,828 --> 00:53:21,364
And, and I must say,
there are levels to this game.

1017
00:53:21,431 --> 00:53:24,968
I mean, Roxanne Perez,
she's a future hall of fame.

1018
00:53:25,035 --> 00:53:26,269
-Take it.
-[Lola] So am I.

1019
00:53:26,336 --> 00:53:29,072
[inaudible]

1020
00:53:30,674 --> 00:53:32,209
[Vic] Perez talking trash.

1021
00:53:32,275 --> 00:53:33,944
[Lola] Cállate la boca, comemierda!

1022
00:53:34,010 --> 00:53:37,914
-[Booker] Oh, yeah… What that mean?
-[Lola] "Shut your mouth."

1023
00:53:37,981 --> 00:53:39,716
-[laughs]
-[Booker] Oh.

1024
00:53:40,750 --> 00:53:41,751
Just checking.

1025
00:53:41,818 --> 00:53:44,888
[Vic] Well, right now there's no talking
for Karmen Petrovic,

1026
00:53:44,955 --> 00:53:48,892
as she is being beaten down in the center
of the ring by Roxanne Perez,

1027
00:53:48,959 --> 00:53:51,928
the NXT women's champion,
who told Petrovic earlier today

1028
00:53:51,995 --> 00:53:54,297
to go back to watching the stars,

1029
00:53:54,364 --> 00:53:58,969
go back to watching the show,
go back to being in the crowd.

1030
00:53:59,035 --> 00:54:00,136
Those are some harsh words.

1031
00:54:00,203 --> 00:54:04,207
[Booker] The thing is, Roxanne,
once upon a time, was Karmen Petrovic,

1032
00:54:04,274 --> 00:54:07,310
bright eyed, just happy to be here,
but no more.

1033
00:54:07,377 --> 00:54:09,946
[Vic] Petrovic counters into a cover
and a kick-out.

1034
00:54:10,013 --> 00:54:11,948
And you know, Lola, you've had
some issues with Karmen Petrovic,

1035
00:54:12,015 --> 00:54:14,618
but have you gained respect for Petrovic?

1036
00:54:14,684 --> 00:54:17,787
[Lola] Yeah, you know, I've never really
seen eye to eye con Karmencita

1037
00:54:17,854 --> 00:54:20,657
but martial artist to martial
artist, I respect her.

1038
00:54:20,724 --> 00:54:23,860
You know, she's a tough competitor
and she's doing really well right now.

1039
00:54:23,927 --> 00:54:26,563
Ooh, tremenda patada,
that was a good kick.

1040
00:54:26,630 --> 00:54:28,198
-That was a good kick.
-[Booker] Just tell it like it is.

1041
00:54:28,265 --> 00:54:30,100
[Vic] And that was a great--
-[Karmen screams]

1042
00:54:30,166 --> 00:54:32,235
[Vic] Natalya [inaudible]

1043
00:54:32,302 --> 00:54:37,907
As we just heard from Lola Vice, Karmen
Petrovic is showcasing that toughness.

1044
00:54:37,974 --> 00:54:40,143
-Taking it to the champion.
-[Booker] Come on, Roxanne.

1045
00:54:40,210 --> 00:54:42,479
Come on, Roxanne, suck it up.

1046
00:54:43,647 --> 00:54:48,418
Look at that veteran experience from
someone so young in this business.

1047
00:54:48,485 --> 00:54:51,955
-I love it, man.
-[Vic] Roxanne Perez is arrogant,

1048
00:54:52,022 --> 00:54:55,792
she's boastful and, right now, she
could be looking for the finishing touches

1049
00:54:55,859 --> 00:54:58,028
-on this match-up.
-[Booker] Oh, yeah!

1050
00:54:58,094 --> 00:55:00,797
-[Vic] [inaudible] as Perez…
-[bell rings]

1051
00:55:00,864 --> 00:55:03,133
[Vic] …proves her point once again.

1052
00:55:04,334 --> 00:55:08,738
[Announcer] Here is your winner,
the NXT women's champion,

1053
00:55:08,805 --> 00:55:12,008
Roxanne Perez!

1054
00:55:12,409 --> 00:55:13,910
[Vic] Take nothing away
from Karmen Petrovic,

1055
00:55:13,977 --> 00:55:16,846
who was sidelined with a sprained ankle
several weeks ago,

1056
00:55:16,913 --> 00:55:20,684
She got back in the ring
with the champion, she took it to Perez

1057
00:55:20,750 --> 00:55:24,921
but, in the end, much like we've seen
over the last several months,

1058
00:55:24,988 --> 00:55:29,025
it's Roxanne Perez standing tall.

1059
00:55:29,092 --> 00:55:30,960
[Booker] No, don't make any excuses.

1060
00:55:31,027 --> 00:55:33,496
-[Vic] It wasn't any--
-[Booker] Don't make any excuses, Vic.

1061
00:55:33,563 --> 00:55:34,998
[Vic] How's that an excuse?

1062
00:55:35,432 --> 00:55:38,768
[crowd] Lola, Lola, Lola!

1063
00:55:43,473 --> 00:55:45,875
-Oh!
-[Vic] Ooh!

1064
00:55:46,576 --> 00:55:49,946
That 305 just connected.

1065
00:55:54,217 --> 00:55:58,221
That's how you throw
a spinning [inaudible]

1066
00:55:58,288 --> 00:56:01,324
And Lola Vice's fists don't lie.

1067
00:56:01,391 --> 00:56:05,061
Book, are we getting a glimpse
at the future?

1068
00:56:07,263 --> 00:56:09,599
And, as a matter of fact, Book,

1069
00:56:09,666 --> 00:56:13,937
Lola Vice has taken Roxanne's
belt championship with her.

1070
00:56:16,206 --> 00:56:18,341
Say shaggy doggy quack quack now.

1071
00:56:21,678 --> 00:56:24,447
[Noam] [inaudible] thank you so much
for being in the hospital

1072
00:56:24,514 --> 00:56:27,550
as soon as I got out the surgery
with the flowers and the treats.

1073
00:56:27,617 --> 00:56:31,554
Mensah, you've been checking in every day,
spending time with me. It means so much.

1074
00:56:31,621 --> 00:56:34,824
But look, Ethan Page
done a number on my leg.

1075
00:56:34,891 --> 00:56:39,863
He ripped the tendon right off the bone.
So I'm going to be out for a while.

1076
00:56:40,196 --> 00:56:44,601
But I know you guys will keep Meta-four
strong and keep Meta-four beyond all.

1077
00:56:44,667 --> 00:56:46,269
[Jakara] You damn right we will.

1078
00:56:46,336 --> 00:56:50,006
[Lash] Look, clearly Ora has been trying
his best to get back at Ethan Page.

1079
00:56:50,073 --> 00:56:52,041
[Oro] This is more
than just getting back at him.

1080
00:56:52,108 --> 00:56:53,810
-This is for Noam.
-[Lash] That's right.

1081
00:56:53,877 --> 00:56:56,646
[Noam] And that's why you're my main man,
Mensah.

1082
00:56:57,413 --> 00:57:00,049
[Oro] See, every time you say that,
that really makes me smile.

1083
00:57:00,116 --> 00:57:01,885
This group makes me smile.

1084
00:57:01,951 --> 00:57:04,888
And I mean it.
I really love you guys because of that.

1085
00:57:04,954 --> 00:57:06,790
This runs deep.

1086
00:57:06,856 --> 00:57:12,529
See, when I was a kid in Nigeria, I would
have never ever thought I would be here.

1087
00:57:13,196 --> 00:57:14,197
And…

1088
00:57:15,198 --> 00:57:16,566
How should I say this?

1089
00:57:18,101 --> 00:57:22,405
When I was six, you know,
my dad almost died in a car accident.

1090
00:57:22,806 --> 00:57:26,176
He literally had to run through
a wall of fire to save himself.

1091
00:57:27,410 --> 00:57:31,314
And by doing that, 60%
of his body got burned and scarred.

1092
00:57:31,381 --> 00:57:34,350
Meaning he had move
over to Switzerland for therapy.

1093
00:57:34,417 --> 00:57:36,853
Also meaning me and my brother
had to move there too.

1094
00:57:37,253 --> 00:57:40,056
And you see, while all this was
happening and my dad was in the hospital,

1095
00:57:40,123 --> 00:57:43,793
my mom was back in Nigeria
taking care of everything.

1096
00:57:44,227 --> 00:57:47,664
Me and him, we were placed
in a foster care for a while.

1097
00:57:48,431 --> 00:57:52,769
And it was hard, it was tough,
you feel me?

1098
00:57:52,836 --> 00:57:54,604
-[Lash] Yeah, I bet.
-[Jakara] Yeah.

1099
00:57:55,371 --> 00:57:57,407
[Oro] Being so far away from home

1100
00:57:57,807 --> 00:58:02,045
in a place where you look and you sound
different than all the other kids,

1101
00:58:03,213 --> 00:58:07,450
I really… or we really just didn't feel
like we fit in.

1102
00:58:09,486 --> 00:58:13,556
And, honestly speaking, I never felt
in my life like I fit anywhere in.

1103
00:58:15,191 --> 00:58:16,693
Till I met you guys.

1104
00:58:17,861 --> 00:58:20,530
[Lash] Ora [inaudible]

1105
00:58:20,763 --> 00:58:22,298
[Oro] Okay, okay.

1106
00:58:22,365 --> 00:58:23,466
See,

1107
00:58:24,400 --> 00:58:27,370
that's why I cannot and I will not rest

1108
00:58:28,271 --> 00:58:34,077
until I get my revenge on Paige
for what he did to my guy Noam.

1109
00:58:34,143 --> 00:58:38,348
-[Lash] I get it.
-[Noam] Mensah, that was beautiful, man.

1110
00:58:38,414 --> 00:58:41,351
Thank you for sharing that.
You're beautiful.

1111
00:58:41,417 --> 00:58:45,021
Meta-four is beautiful.
Here's to my brother Mensah.

1112
00:58:45,088 --> 00:58:46,656
And here's to Meta-four.

1113
00:58:46,890 --> 00:58:48,358
[inaudible]

1114
00:58:49,058 --> 00:58:51,561
[clacking nails]

1115
00:58:53,129 --> 00:58:56,766
[Vic] That was quite the moment.
Quite the story from the main man himself.

1116
00:58:58,334 --> 00:58:59,602
But we gotta move on, Book.

1117
00:58:59,669 --> 00:59:01,437
-[Booker] I feel pretty bad about it.
-[Vic] I hear you.

1118
00:59:01,504 --> 00:59:04,607
We gotta move on here now to what's
coming up in just a matter of moments.

1119
00:59:04,674 --> 00:59:08,044
Because with the No Quarter Catch Crew
there's been a lot going on

1120
00:59:08,111 --> 00:59:12,382
between Damon… take the--
What's going on, Book? Wait a minute.

1121
00:59:12,448 --> 00:59:15,251
[Man] Think you're fucking bad now, OTM?

1122
00:59:15,585 --> 00:59:18,488
[inaudible]

1123
00:59:36,472 --> 00:59:38,508
-[Man] OTM looked pretty banged up.
-[Ava] That's all right.

1124
00:59:38,575 --> 00:59:40,810
Will you please just go check out OTM
and medical for me?

1125
00:59:40,877 --> 00:59:42,779
-[Man] Absolutely.
-[Ava] Okay, thanks.

1126
00:59:43,212 --> 00:59:45,348
Hey. Thank you guys so much for waiting.

1127
00:59:45,415 --> 00:59:48,952
Look, after what happened last week,
how you guys feel is totally justified.

1128
00:59:49,018 --> 00:59:52,055
So next week, Carlee, you're gonna
go one-on-one with Fundy Chew.

1129
00:59:52,121 --> 00:59:54,290
-[Carlee] Great. Thanks, Ava.
-[Ava] Yeah, you're welcome.

1130
00:59:58,061 --> 00:59:59,762
[Lola] When your champion wakes up,

1131
01:00:00,430 --> 01:00:05,335
you could give this back to her and
tell her I won a title match at Heatwave.

1132
01:00:09,606 --> 01:00:12,408
[Vic] Quite the night
for our general manager.

1133
01:00:14,377 --> 01:00:15,178
[bell rings]

1134
01:00:15,244 --> 01:00:19,048
[Announcer] The following contest
is scheduled for one fall.

1135
01:00:19,415 --> 01:00:24,554
Introducing first Tavion Heights!

1136
01:00:24,620 --> 01:00:27,924
[Vic] Take a look at the man, Tavion,
who reached the heights of the Olympics,

1137
01:00:27,991 --> 01:00:33,563
competing at the 2020 games in Tokyo,
actually won his first round match-up.

1138
01:00:33,629 --> 01:00:37,533
He's got quite the pedigree
for stepping into the squared circuit.

1139
01:00:46,376 --> 01:00:51,147
[Announcer] And his opponent,
representing No Corner Catch Crew,

1140
01:00:51,214 --> 01:00:54,250
Damon Kemp!

1141
01:00:54,317 --> 01:00:56,285
[Vic] You see some of the background
from Damon Kemp,

1142
01:00:56,352 --> 01:00:59,055
who is also an NCAA Division 1 qualifier,

1143
01:00:59,122 --> 01:01:01,491
a freestyle national champion.

1144
01:01:02,125 --> 01:01:03,459
And, if you go all the way back,

1145
01:01:03,526 --> 01:01:06,796
a four-year starter
at the University of Minnesota

1146
01:01:06,863 --> 01:01:10,366
and was the number one ranked
amateur wrestler in high school

1147
01:01:10,433 --> 01:01:12,969
before attending
the University of Minnesota,

1148
01:01:13,036 --> 01:01:14,437
-where he became a gopher.
-[bell rings]

1149
01:01:14,504 --> 01:01:18,808
This is a match-up between these two.
Both have great amateur backgrounds.

1150
01:01:18,875 --> 01:01:20,610
Both have,
and this is the word I used earlier,

1151
01:01:20,676 --> 01:01:23,446
that pedigree that Charlie Dempsey wants,

1152
01:01:23,513 --> 01:01:26,449
he wants a group
of high-intelligence grapplers.

1153
01:01:26,516 --> 01:01:30,453
[Booker] Yes. Right now, Damon Kemp,
he has a job to do, Vic,

1154
01:01:30,520 --> 01:01:34,590
and he needs to do that job, and
he needs to do that job well here tonight.

1155
01:01:34,657 --> 01:01:37,827
Because tonight is a test for Tavion.

1156
01:01:37,894 --> 01:01:38,995
[Vic] It's Kemp who's in control.

1157
01:01:39,062 --> 01:01:41,130
Obvious this is some sort
of punishment of sorts,

1158
01:01:41,197 --> 01:01:42,398
I should say, for Kemp.

1159
01:01:42,465 --> 01:01:45,368
-[Booker] No, this is a test.
-[Vic] No, he inadvertently eliminated

1160
01:01:45,435 --> 01:01:49,038
Charlie Dempsey in the Battle Royal last
week, and then Dempsey put him in this.

1161
01:01:49,105 --> 01:01:51,507
-[Booker] What are you thinking, man?
-[Vic] I'm thinking what I just told you.

1162
01:01:51,574 --> 01:01:55,545
Tavion Heights with a Papa Shango-esque
shoulder breaker.

1163
01:01:55,611 --> 01:01:56,646
[Booker] Wow.

1164
01:01:56,712 --> 01:01:59,582
-Damon Kemp's in trouble.
-[Vic] You done arguing with me?

1165
01:01:59,649 --> 01:02:03,286
[Booker] Look, only one could win
at a Battle Royal. You know that.

1166
01:02:03,352 --> 01:02:05,088
[Vic] Yeah, but if you give…

1167
01:02:05,154 --> 01:02:07,457
-[Booker] You know that, right?
-[Vic] Oh, my God!

1168
01:02:07,523 --> 01:02:09,559
Did he just pop his shoulder back in?

1169
01:02:09,625 --> 01:02:10,860
[Booker] Wow!

1170
01:02:11,894 --> 01:02:14,630
[Vic] I know only one can win,
but Charlie Dempsey's point is,

1171
01:02:14,697 --> 01:02:17,867
if you're a Crew, if you're a team, you're
not supposed to eliminate one another.

1172
01:02:17,934 --> 01:02:20,937
As Kemp still on the outside
talking to Dempsey and Myles Borne,

1173
01:02:21,003 --> 01:02:22,572
Tavion Heights wanting none of it,

1174
01:02:22,638 --> 01:02:24,373
but maybe
he should have stayed in the ring.

1175
01:02:24,440 --> 01:02:26,409
[Booker] Yeah [inaudible]

1176
01:02:26,476 --> 01:02:29,846
You can't do that
with somebody like Damon Kemp, Vic.

1177
01:02:29,912 --> 01:02:32,849
[Vic] And this is a highly sought after
recruited athlete in Tavion Heights,

1178
01:02:32,915 --> 01:02:36,018
and, if he wins,
he is in the No Quarter Catch Crew.

1179
01:02:36,085 --> 01:02:38,888
As right now Damon Kemp
trying to make sure that Tavion Heights

1180
01:02:38,955 --> 01:02:42,792
does not get in to the NQCC.

1181
01:02:43,092 --> 01:02:44,127
[Referee] Three.

1182
01:02:45,595 --> 01:02:46,829
[Vic] Kemp just unloading, right?

1183
01:02:46,896 --> 01:02:49,132
I mean, honestly, do you believe,
going back to it,

1184
01:02:49,198 --> 01:02:52,201
that Kemp eliminated Dempsey on purpose
or do you believe it was just an accident?

1185
01:02:52,268 --> 01:02:54,070
[Booker] No, no,
I think he did it on purpose, Vic.

1186
01:02:54,137 --> 01:02:56,072
I think he did it on purpose.
Because you know what?

1187
01:02:56,139 --> 01:03:02,411
You win that match, you got a damn good
shot at victory and glory. Oh, yes, man.

1188
01:03:02,478 --> 01:03:04,747
[Vic] Big German suplex by Kemp!

1189
01:03:04,814 --> 01:03:07,717
And Tavion Heights now
is the one who's in press--

1190
01:03:07,783 --> 01:03:11,387
who's in trouble because for Damon Kemp,
there's extra pressure on Kemp.

1191
01:03:11,454 --> 01:03:14,257
He doesn't want Heights
to join the No Quarter Catch Crew.

1192
01:03:14,323 --> 01:03:17,260
He doesn't want to look
like he's the weak link of the group.

1193
01:03:17,326 --> 01:03:18,794
He's taking it right now too.

1194
01:03:18,861 --> 01:03:22,231
Looking for that angle slam, connected.

1195
01:03:22,298 --> 01:03:25,368
Kemp into the cover.
Height, shoulders on the mat--

1196
01:03:25,434 --> 01:03:28,171
and Tavion Heights able to kick out.

1197
01:03:28,237 --> 01:03:31,374
And look right here. Picture perfect. Bam!

1198
01:03:31,440 --> 01:03:32,742
Couldn't get to three, though.

1199
01:03:32,808 --> 01:03:36,379
And we know when you take a look
at Tavion Heights, he's quite the athlete.

1200
01:03:36,445 --> 01:03:38,848
But can he put it together here
tonight against Damon Kemp?

1201
01:03:38,915 --> 01:03:40,650
Now he's just trying to muscle.

1202
01:03:40,716 --> 01:03:42,385
Charlie Dempsey,
I just looked to my right,

1203
01:03:42,451 --> 01:03:45,221
a big smile came across his face.

1204
01:03:47,690 --> 01:03:50,293
As Kemp should just maybe focus
on the match-up, should he not?

1205
01:03:50,359 --> 01:03:53,396
[Booker] He's testing Tavion Height
right now because [inaudible]

1206
01:03:53,462 --> 01:03:55,932
they need to know you're all in, man.

1207
01:03:55,998 --> 01:03:57,266
-You got to be--
-[Vic] Gotcha!

1208
01:03:57,333 --> 01:03:59,235
[Booker] …as well as you dish it out.

1209
01:03:59,302 --> 01:04:01,971
Oh, here we go. Here we go, Vic.

1210
01:04:02,038 --> 01:04:05,875
[Vic] That time the belly to belly toss
connected. Coming right back in.

1211
01:04:05,942 --> 01:04:09,745
Second one for good measure
with an exclamation point.

1212
01:04:09,812 --> 01:04:13,216
Tavion is now in the No Corner Catch Crew.

1213
01:04:13,983 --> 01:04:17,587
[announcer] Here's your winner,
Tavion Heights!

1214
01:04:17,653 --> 01:04:21,991
[Vic] That man can change an outcome
with the flip of a hip.

1215
01:04:22,058 --> 01:04:23,526
-[Booker] He's in.
-[Vic] Charlie Dempsey,

1216
01:04:23,593 --> 01:04:26,729
I haven't seen him this happy
in quite some time. Take another look.

1217
01:04:26,796 --> 01:04:27,830
Slam!

1218
01:04:29,198 --> 01:04:32,268
-Deep hook to the leg as well.
-[bell rings]

1219
01:04:32,335 --> 01:04:35,638
[Vic] And Charlie Dempsey now all smiles.

1220
01:04:36,606 --> 01:04:42,545
No Quarter Catch Crew
has gotten bigger, better and stronger.

1221
01:04:48,150 --> 01:04:49,352
[Kelly] Kelani Jordan.

1222
01:04:49,418 --> 01:04:52,722
Tonight, we find out who you'll be
defending your title against at Heatwave.

1223
01:04:52,788 --> 01:04:56,259
You thought it was going to be Sol Ruca,
but it seems like Arianna Grace

1224
01:04:56,325 --> 01:04:58,527
has talked her way
into an opportunity here.

1225
01:04:58,594 --> 01:05:01,430
[Kelani] Kelly, last week
was a definite confidence booster

1226
01:05:01,497 --> 01:05:05,801
when I beat Michin, and I thought
it was going to be Sol next, too.

1227
01:05:05,868 --> 01:05:09,906
But, honestly, I just want to be
a drama-free champion,

1228
01:05:09,972 --> 01:05:12,875
defend this title against superstars
who deserve the opportunity,

1229
01:05:12,942 --> 01:05:15,177
and then just move on to the next.

1230
01:05:15,244 --> 01:05:17,880
Sol, we're friends, she's chill

1231
01:05:17,947 --> 01:05:22,084
and she has this great vibe about her,
where Arianna, on the other hand,

1232
01:05:22,919 --> 01:05:25,354
she's the complete opposite.

1233
01:05:25,421 --> 01:05:29,759
But, hey, props to her for talking her way
into a match. I guess we'll see who wins.

1234
01:05:29,825 --> 01:05:32,128
-Thanks, Kelly.
-[Kelly] Thank you, Kelani.

1235
01:05:32,194 --> 01:05:34,430
-Vic, Booker, back to you.
-[Jaida] No, no, no.

1236
01:05:34,497 --> 01:05:37,300
It ain't gonna happen like that.
It is not gonna happen like that.

1237
01:05:37,366 --> 01:05:39,135
You not kicking it back
to Snitch and Booker.

1238
01:05:39,201 --> 01:05:41,637
That camera's staying right here on me.

1239
01:05:41,704 --> 01:05:44,240
Michin, you have the audacity
to blindside me

1240
01:05:44,307 --> 01:05:47,643
after your boy snuck Bronco and Lucian?
Oh. Oh, okay.

1241
01:05:47,710 --> 01:05:51,013
So how about next week,
you see me face to face, baby?

1242
01:05:51,080 --> 01:05:54,483
Me and you in a street fight.
Now get that damn thing…

1243
01:05:54,550 --> 01:05:55,851
[crowd cheers]

1244
01:05:57,453 --> 01:06:01,624
[Vic] The issue between Jaida and Michin,
though, far from over.

1245
01:06:02,124 --> 01:06:03,693
[inaudible]

1246
01:06:04,927 --> 01:06:05,928
[bell rings]

1247
01:06:05,995 --> 01:06:10,232
[Announcer] The following contest
is scheduled for one fall.

1248
01:06:10,299 --> 01:06:14,770
Introducing first, Arianna Grace!

1249
01:06:14,837 --> 01:06:19,008
[Vic] Oh, we just saw Tavion Heights make
his way to the No Quarter Catch Crew.

1250
01:06:19,075 --> 01:06:20,443
Who's headed to Toronto?

1251
01:06:20,509 --> 01:06:23,446
Who will be the number one contender
for the women's North American title?

1252
01:06:23,512 --> 01:06:25,081
We're gonna find out next.

1253
01:06:27,984 --> 01:06:30,119
[Brinley] So great out there. Oh, my gosh.
You were like, boom.

1254
01:06:30,186 --> 01:06:33,923
And then you were like-- yeah.
It's really all right, guys, okay?

1255
01:06:33,990 --> 01:06:37,093
It was fair game out there.
I'm just so proud of how good you did.

1256
01:06:37,159 --> 01:06:38,027
[Malik] I appreciate it, Brinley.

1257
01:06:38,094 --> 01:06:41,097
-You know, positive, positive, positive.
-[Brinley] Uh-huh, exactly.

1258
01:06:41,163 --> 01:06:43,466
[Edris] Right, if only positivity
could result in wins for us,

1259
01:06:43,532 --> 01:06:47,703
-that would be great.
-[Izzi] Yes, exactly, Edris.

1260
01:06:47,770 --> 01:06:51,741
Being Miss Happy-Go-Lucky
does absolutely nothing.

1261
01:06:51,807 --> 01:06:56,112
Brinley, the guys might be
too scared to tell you this, but I'm not.

1262
01:06:56,178 --> 01:06:57,980
They don't want you around.

1263
01:06:58,047 --> 01:07:03,486
All you do is feed them these
positive delulu vibes when, in reality,

1264
01:07:03,552 --> 01:07:07,089
they're never going to amount to anything,
and neither are you.

1265
01:07:08,791 --> 01:07:11,394
[Brinley] Izzi, if you have a problem,
I could just--

1266
01:07:11,460 --> 01:07:13,696
[Izzi] Oh, with you? I really don't.

1267
01:07:13,963 --> 01:07:15,197
Later, [inaudible]

1268
01:07:16,332 --> 01:07:18,601
-[Brinley] Is that true?
-[Malik] No.

1269
01:07:19,135 --> 01:07:20,269
[Brinley] Okay.

1270
01:07:22,705 --> 01:07:24,640
[Axiom] Dude, you were so close.

1271
01:07:24,707 --> 01:07:26,475
You had Tony D against the ropes there.

1272
01:07:26,542 --> 01:07:29,011
[Nathan] I appreciate it, amigo. I just…

1273
01:07:30,446 --> 01:07:32,348
-I thought I had him.
-[Axiom] Hey, hey, hey.

1274
01:07:32,415 --> 01:07:34,950
There's nothing to be ashamed of.
Come on, head high.

1275
01:07:35,017 --> 01:07:38,621
Plus, after tonight,
we can focus on defending these titles

1276
01:07:38,687 --> 01:07:40,222
against Chase U at Heatwave.

1277
01:07:40,289 --> 01:07:41,991
They looked great
in that Tag Team Turmoil,

1278
01:07:42,058 --> 01:07:44,927
-and we should be at our very best.
-[Nathan] Yeah, we will be. All right?

1279
01:07:44,994 --> 01:07:46,429
Trust me. We'll be ready for it.

1280
01:07:46,495 --> 01:07:48,064
[Axiom] Let's watch some tape
like the good old times, yeah?

1281
01:07:48,130 --> 01:07:50,733
[Nathan] Yeah, yeah,
that sounds like a great idea.

1282
01:07:50,800 --> 01:07:52,401
About that, though.

1283
01:07:52,935 --> 01:07:56,572
See, I have that WWE Speed match tomorrow
and I kind of have to get ready for that.

1284
01:07:56,639 --> 01:08:00,910
But after that, mate, I promise,
full focus, I am all yours, all right?

1285
01:08:00,976 --> 01:08:04,080
I'm gonna go get my back checked out.
This is freaking killing me.

1286
01:08:04,146 --> 01:08:05,781
[Axiom] Bah. All good.

1287
01:08:15,858 --> 01:08:17,259
[Announcer] And her opponent,

1288
01:08:17,326 --> 01:08:20,362
Sol Ruca!

1289
01:08:20,429 --> 01:08:23,866
[Vic] Frazer better focus on Heatwave,
as one of these two women

1290
01:08:23,933 --> 01:08:25,835
will be headed to Toronto.

1291
01:08:25,901 --> 01:08:29,839
Part of Money in the Bank weekend
and have an opportunity at Kelani Jordan

1292
01:08:29,905 --> 01:08:32,074
and the NXT Women's North American title.

1293
01:08:32,141 --> 01:08:33,976
But what do you think
about Sol Ruca, Book?

1294
01:08:34,043 --> 01:08:38,814
She lives by one of your old sayings.
Save the drama for your mama.

1295
01:08:38,881 --> 01:08:40,950
-[Booker] Oh, yeah.
-[Vic] You didn't even want to finish it.

1296
01:08:41,016 --> 01:08:43,619
At least have a T-shirt with it.
You didn't even want to finish it.

1297
01:08:43,686 --> 01:08:47,056
[Booker] Save the drama for your mammy.
That's what I say.

1298
01:08:48,023 --> 01:08:50,593
[Vic] Well, the same cannot be said
for Arianna Grace.

1299
01:08:50,659 --> 01:08:53,295
-She is surrounded by drama.
-[bell rings]

1300
01:08:53,362 --> 01:08:54,330
Constantly surrounded.

1301
01:08:54,396 --> 01:08:57,600
At her own hand sometimes,
because she creates it.

1302
01:08:59,235 --> 01:09:02,805
[Booker] Vic, don't sleep on Arianna
Grace, man. Just don't do it.

1303
01:09:02,872 --> 01:09:06,208
I mean, right now
she's got that beauty queen look,

1304
01:09:06,275 --> 01:09:09,645
that sweet thing going on.

1305
01:09:09,712 --> 01:09:12,781
But if you get caught
in the right place at the right time,

1306
01:09:12,848 --> 01:09:15,050
-I think she's going to take advantage.
-[Vic] You might have just set a record

1307
01:09:15,117 --> 01:09:17,620
for the most "thats" in a row
before you got your coin out.

1308
01:09:17,686 --> 01:09:19,889
But, anyways,
there seems to be a lot of animosity

1309
01:09:19,955 --> 01:09:21,924
over the Women's
North American Championship.

1310
01:09:21,991 --> 01:09:25,027
Michin had the first crack.
Ms. Parker didn't like that, as we saw.

1311
01:09:25,094 --> 01:09:26,595
We heard from Fallon Henley last week.

1312
01:09:26,662 --> 01:09:28,731
She was quite upset.
We've seen the whole arc.

1313
01:09:28,797 --> 01:09:30,833
[Booker] You know what?
I wouldn't call it animosity, Vic.

1314
01:09:30,900 --> 01:09:32,468
-I just, I would say it's a lot.
-[Vic] Jealousy?

1315
01:09:32,535 --> 01:09:35,204
[Booker] No, it's a lot of women
in that locker room just hungry, man,

1316
01:09:35,271 --> 01:09:36,438
hungry for their shot.

1317
01:09:36,505 --> 01:09:40,876
That North American championship sparks
something. That's the way I look at it.

1318
01:09:40,943 --> 01:09:44,380
[Vic] Well, then, to your point, we've
seen those stare down Kelani Jordan.

1319
01:09:44,446 --> 01:09:46,115
What must be going through Jordan's mind

1320
01:09:46,182 --> 01:09:47,950
with everything
that has gone on transpired

1321
01:09:48,017 --> 01:09:50,452
-and what she's watching right now?
-[Booker] We just heard from Kelani Jordan

1322
01:09:50,519 --> 01:09:54,623
just a second ago and she seems
to be focused and ready for competition,

1323
01:09:54,690 --> 01:09:58,460
ready to prove that she is truly
the North American champion.

1324
01:09:58,527 --> 01:10:00,196
[Vic] X Factor from Ruca.

1325
01:10:00,262 --> 01:10:03,165
And Sol Ruca right now is rolling.

1326
01:10:03,599 --> 01:10:07,069
Arianna Grace right now
needs to figure out some sort of--

1327
01:10:07,136 --> 01:10:08,938
-[Booker] Oh!
-[Vic] Needs to get out of the gates,

1328
01:10:09,004 --> 01:10:11,273
it's a little bit of a slip by Sol Ruca.

1329
01:10:11,340 --> 01:10:13,642
And it didn't even bother,
it didn't phase her.

1330
01:10:13,709 --> 01:10:16,645
[Booker] Beautiful recovery there
by Sol Ruca.

1331
01:10:16,712 --> 01:10:18,948
Don't get caught slipping
with Sol either, man.

1332
01:10:19,014 --> 01:10:22,017
Don't get caught in the right,
right place at the wrong time.

1333
01:10:22,384 --> 01:10:25,487
Oh, the surfboard, the surfboard.

1334
01:10:25,554 --> 01:10:28,057
[Vic] Arianna Grace
not certainly going to like that one.

1335
01:10:28,123 --> 01:10:31,894
But Ruca's had quite the emotional
journey at Battleground.

1336
01:10:31,961 --> 01:10:35,731
At times, do you think that some
superstars, some athletes

1337
01:10:35,798 --> 01:10:37,666
let their emotions get the better of them?

1338
01:10:37,733 --> 01:10:39,702
[Booker] I don't think it was the emotions
with Sol Ruca,

1339
01:10:39,768 --> 01:10:43,339
just sitting at home being taken out
by Blair Davenport

1340
01:10:43,405 --> 01:10:45,407
definitely will do something to you, Vic.

1341
01:10:45,474 --> 01:10:47,142
Wanting to get back in the action.

1342
01:10:47,209 --> 01:10:50,346
Sometimes you do it a little too quick,
just like that right there.

1343
01:10:50,412 --> 01:10:54,483
[Vic] Arianna Grace now might have been
able to weather the storm.

1344
01:10:54,683 --> 01:10:57,253
Grace, who wants to be referred to
as Ms. NXT.

1345
01:10:57,319 --> 01:11:02,057
Could you imagine Grace adding gold
around her waist to go with her crown?

1346
01:11:02,124 --> 01:11:04,193
[Booker] She wants to be called Ms. NXT

1347
01:11:04,260 --> 01:11:07,329
but let me tell you something,
you got to earn those props.

1348
01:11:07,396 --> 01:11:11,734
I think Arianna is on her way right there
tonight. She's looking real good.

1349
01:11:12,101 --> 01:11:14,903
[Vic] When Arianna Grace-- nice suplex
out of the corner again.

1350
01:11:14,970 --> 01:11:16,705
The winner of this match-up
heads to Heatwave,

1351
01:11:16,772 --> 01:11:20,576
has the championship opportunity
for the North American Women's title

1352
01:11:20,643 --> 01:11:22,378
against Kelani Jordan.

1353
01:11:22,444 --> 01:11:25,981
NXT Heatwave, a week from Sunday.
Tickets on sale right now,

1354
01:11:26,048 --> 01:11:27,383
Ticketmaster.ca.

1355
01:11:27,449 --> 01:11:28,684
And a near-fall.

1356
01:11:28,751 --> 01:11:33,589
Ruca almost was able to have
that championship opportunity

1357
01:11:33,656 --> 01:11:35,557
but we brought her up earlier,
Fallon Henley.

1358
01:11:35,624 --> 01:11:39,061
Does Grace need to take a page
from Fallon Henley's approach

1359
01:11:39,128 --> 01:11:40,229
to how to handle business?

1360
01:11:40,295 --> 01:11:42,197
[Booker] You know,
that wouldn't be a bad idea,

1361
01:11:42,264 --> 01:11:46,235
but I think Arianna Grace
has her own way of getting to the top

1362
01:11:46,302 --> 01:11:50,205
and it's going to be beautiful,
if you understand what I'm saying.

1363
01:11:50,272 --> 01:11:51,640
[Vic] I saw what you're doing there.

1364
01:11:51,707 --> 01:11:52,941
Again, that's why they pay you
the big bucks.

1365
01:11:53,008 --> 01:11:55,344
Off the knee lift into the cover,
and a near-fall.

1366
01:11:55,411 --> 01:11:59,515
Grace almost was going to grace us
with her presence in Toronto.

1367
01:11:59,581 --> 01:12:00,883
-[Booker] See that?
-[Vic] See what I did there?

1368
01:12:00,949 --> 01:12:03,152
I don't get paid Booker money,
but it is what it is.

1369
01:12:03,218 --> 01:12:05,854
It's Grace now trying to wear down
Sol Ruca.

1370
01:12:06,155 --> 01:12:09,658
Ruca trying to find some way
to get back into this match-up,

1371
01:12:09,725 --> 01:12:13,962
trying to feed off the energy from the NXT
universe, but ripped right back down.

1372
01:12:14,029 --> 01:12:18,634
Grace right back on the offensive.
Nice sidestep. Sol Ruca now charging in.

1373
01:12:18,701 --> 01:12:21,670
And this is Sol Ruca weathering the storm,

1374
01:12:21,737 --> 01:12:24,440
trying to use that emotion
to her advantage.

1375
01:12:24,506 --> 01:12:27,576
And it almost looked
like she slipped off the bottom rope,

1376
01:12:27,643 --> 01:12:31,613
but was able to turn her body midair,
connect with Grace.

1377
01:12:32,314 --> 01:12:36,752
And Grace with a counter, Grace
with a roll through and another near-fall.

1378
01:12:36,819 --> 01:12:38,220
-[Booker] Man!
-[Vic] What a match, Book!

1379
01:12:38,287 --> 01:12:41,423
[Booker] I mean, if Arianna Grace would
have held the tights right there,

1380
01:12:41,490 --> 01:12:42,624
I thought she could have got
a three count.

1381
01:12:42,691 --> 01:12:44,893
-What do you mean hold the tights?
-[Booker] Just like I said.

1382
01:12:44,960 --> 01:12:47,396
[Vic] She doesn't want to earn it
by cheating and cutting corners.

1383
01:12:47,463 --> 01:12:51,567
As Grace back in,
Sol Ruca slipped one more time.

1384
01:12:52,367 --> 01:12:54,403
And you got to wonder
if the emotions I talked about

1385
01:12:54,470 --> 01:12:57,272
are getting to these two women
because they know what's on the line.

1386
01:12:57,339 --> 01:13:00,642
That championship match-up
at Heatwave, that golden moment--

1387
01:13:00,709 --> 01:13:04,913
Sol Ruca said, "screw it,
I'm just gonna go for the home run."

1388
01:13:04,980 --> 01:13:06,448
-Sol Snatcher.
-[crowd] …two, three.

1389
01:13:06,515 --> 01:13:10,319
-[Vic] And Sol rides the wave to Toronto.
-[bell rings]

1390
01:13:10,619 --> 01:13:14,590
[Announcer] Here is your winner, Sol Ruca!

1391
01:13:14,656 --> 01:13:20,662
[Vic] Riding the Heatwave
all the way to the Great White North.

1392
01:13:22,865 --> 01:13:29,738
What a match, what a way for Soul Ruca.
Another picture perfect Sol Snatcher.

1393
01:13:30,572 --> 01:13:32,274
-And with that,
-[crowd] …two, three.

1394
01:13:32,341 --> 01:13:33,142
[bell rings]

1395
01:13:33,208 --> 01:13:37,913
[Vic] Sol Ruca now has the opportunity
she's been waiting for.

1396
01:13:38,147 --> 01:13:41,617
A week from Sunday,
part of Money in the Bank weekend.

1397
01:13:41,683 --> 01:13:45,788
Can Sol do it like Lani?
Can she do it better than Lani?

1398
01:13:45,854 --> 01:13:50,692
Jordan - Ruca for the Women's
North American title at Heatwave.

1399
01:13:55,597 --> 01:13:57,866
[Roxanne] Of course,
of course you're behind this, Ava.

1400
01:13:57,933 --> 01:13:59,134
You know, just cause your general manager,

1401
01:13:59,201 --> 01:14:00,936
doesn't mean
you can just take people's stuff.

1402
01:14:01,003 --> 01:14:04,339
-And why the hell did you let that happen?
-[Ava] Oh, my God. Oh, yeah, it was me.

1403
01:14:04,406 --> 01:14:07,976
I took your title?
No, you tried to attack Lola.

1404
01:14:08,043 --> 01:14:11,046
She laid you out, she took
your title and then brought it here.

1405
01:14:11,113 --> 01:14:13,315
Nothing to do with me.

1406
01:14:13,382 --> 01:14:15,784
[Roxanne] So, it's just
so great to see you, Ava.

1407
01:14:15,851 --> 01:14:19,021
[Ava] Yeah. Actually, Roxanne,

1408
01:14:19,555 --> 01:14:21,990
you can get your revenge on Lola
when you defend

1409
01:14:22,057 --> 01:14:25,127
that title against her at Heatwave.

1410
01:14:25,994 --> 01:14:29,598
[Roxanne] It's just so fun for you,
isn't it, Ava?

1411
01:14:31,467 --> 01:14:32,534
[Ava] Yeah, it is.

1412
01:14:33,335 --> 01:14:36,104
[Vic] Oh, big match just made by Ava.

1413
01:14:36,171 --> 01:14:39,141
But a big main event,
as NXT champion Trick William

1414
01:14:39,208 --> 01:14:43,846
looks for payback for what went down last
week and what went down earlier tonight.

1415
01:14:43,912 --> 01:14:46,315
Can Williams whoop that Trick?

1416
01:14:46,381 --> 01:14:50,552
Williams - Spears, main event time on NXT.

1417
01:14:53,255 --> 01:14:54,990
[Kelani] Hey, but I'm excited
I'm going against you.

1418
01:14:55,057 --> 01:14:57,893
-I'll see you at Heatwave.
-[Sol] I'll see you in Toronto, champ.

1419
01:14:59,194 --> 01:15:01,029
[Woman] I'll see you at Heatwave.

1420
01:15:02,130 --> 01:15:05,467
Isn't that just so sweet?

1421
01:15:05,534 --> 01:15:08,203
-[Woman 2] Makes me want to throw up.
-[Woman 3] Sure does.

1422
01:15:08,270 --> 01:15:10,973
And what's sickening is how
we are always overlooked.

1423
01:15:11,039 --> 01:15:13,308
But, of course, not Kelani, not Sol. No.

1424
01:15:13,375 --> 01:15:16,144
[Woman] Nope, just the girls
that have been here for years.

1425
01:15:16,211 --> 01:15:18,947
[Woman 3] Exactly. Case in point, Karmen.

1426
01:15:19,014 --> 01:15:22,084
Another one who hasn't earned the
opportunities that she's just been given.

1427
01:15:22,150 --> 01:15:24,720
-[Woman 2] True.
-[Woman] Maybe we…

1428
01:15:25,954 --> 01:15:27,756
should do something about that.

1429
01:15:28,523 --> 01:15:30,893
[Woman 3] Yeah, maybe we should.

1430
01:15:32,194 --> 01:15:33,562
[Vic] Booker, we got breaking news.

1431
01:15:33,629 --> 01:15:37,399
Because it's official,
the issues run deep between these two.

1432
01:15:37,466 --> 01:15:41,403
And next week Michin
will face Jaida Parker in a street fight.

1433
01:15:41,470 --> 01:15:44,473
Parker issued the challenge.
Will Michin make her pay?

1434
01:15:44,540 --> 01:15:47,376
Live next week on NXT.

1435
01:15:47,442 --> 01:15:49,778
And, before their championship clash
in Toronto,

1436
01:15:49,845 --> 01:15:53,415
Lola Vice and Roxanne Perez
will be face to face

1437
01:15:53,482 --> 01:15:58,053
just five nights before their NXT Women's
Championship match-up at NXT Heatwave.

1438
01:15:58,120 --> 01:16:03,492
It's all going down live next
Tuesday here on NXT.

1439
01:16:05,761 --> 01:16:08,230
[Man] Truth will ultimately prevail.

1440
01:16:09,932 --> 01:16:12,868
But there is pain bringing it to light.

1441
01:16:29,785 --> 01:16:30,719
[bell rings]

1442
01:16:30,786 --> 01:16:34,890
[Announcer] The following contest
is scheduled for one fall.

1443
01:16:34,957 --> 01:16:39,828
Introducing first, Shawn Spears!

1444
01:16:40,062 --> 01:16:45,033
[Vic] On X, Spears posted
"To live is to suffer.

1445
01:16:45,100 --> 01:16:49,705
To survive is to find
some meaning in suffering."

1446
01:16:49,771 --> 01:16:54,076
There's no doubt that Shawn Spears
is going to look to punish

1447
01:16:54,142 --> 01:16:58,347
and to make our NXT champion
suffer here tonight.

1448
01:16:58,413 --> 01:17:02,417
But joining us here ringside
is "All Ego" Ethan Page.

1449
01:17:02,484 --> 01:17:06,688
-And what brings you ringside?
-[Booker] What up, Ego?

1450
01:17:06,755 --> 01:17:07,889
-[Ethan] What up, Book?
-[Booker] How you doing, dawg?

1451
01:17:07,956 --> 01:17:10,726
[Ethan] I'm great. No, no, I'm good,
you bozo. Don't touch me.

1452
01:17:10,792 --> 01:17:12,861
-[Booker] This is what I'm saying.
-[Ethan] Come on, man.

1453
01:17:12,928 --> 01:17:15,731
I'm here to watch the main event.
What do you think?

1454
01:17:15,797 --> 01:17:17,899
[Booker] He's a snitch, that's what he is.

1455
01:17:17,966 --> 01:17:19,067
[Ethan] Fair enough.

1456
01:17:31,146 --> 01:17:32,114
[Booker] What?

1457
01:17:33,048 --> 01:17:34,049
Yeah.

1458
01:17:34,850 --> 01:17:35,984
Uh-huh?

1459
01:17:36,985 --> 01:17:40,355
I like it. Oh, yeah, man.

1460
01:17:40,422 --> 01:17:42,224
Oh, yeah, man.

1461
01:17:44,159 --> 01:17:50,999
[Announcer] And his opponent,
he is the NXT champion,

1462
01:17:51,066 --> 01:17:55,437
Trick Williams!

1463
01:17:55,504 --> 01:17:56,505
[Booker] That's right.

1464
01:17:57,339 --> 01:17:58,573
That's Trick.

1465
01:17:59,374 --> 01:18:01,009
That's the champ, dawg.

1466
01:18:01,076 --> 01:18:02,778
[Vic] You want to take back anything,
Ethan?

1467
01:18:02,844 --> 01:18:05,047
-I mean, he's--
-[Ethan] Hey, look, he's only--

1468
01:18:05,113 --> 01:18:07,115
-He's only stating facts, okay?
-[Booker] Doing my job here.

1469
01:18:07,182 --> 01:18:10,218
I'm doing my job.
Why you trying to make--

1470
01:18:10,285 --> 01:18:14,656
Why you trying to make me pick
between me and "All Ego."

1471
01:18:15,090 --> 01:18:16,692
-Don't do that.
-[Vic] Anyways.

1472
01:18:16,758 --> 01:18:18,460
-Don't do that.
-[Vic] Shawn Spears, look at that--

1473
01:18:19,261 --> 01:18:21,029
-Shawn Spears.
-[Ethan] You're a hater.

1474
01:18:21,096 --> 01:18:22,364
-[Vic] I'm not a hater.
-[Ethan] Yeah, you are.

1475
01:18:22,431 --> 01:18:23,965
[Vic] I'm not a hater
and I'm not a snitch.

1476
01:18:24,032 --> 01:18:27,369
Let's get that out right now.
But I will say we'll talk about facts.

1477
01:18:27,436 --> 01:18:30,572
You made a statement.
You made a clear statement last week.

1478
01:18:30,639 --> 01:18:32,374
[Ethan] That's right.
I pinned the number one contender.

1479
01:18:32,441 --> 01:18:34,476
I should be the number one contender.

1480
01:18:34,543 --> 01:18:36,111
-And yet here we are.
-[bell rings]

1481
01:18:36,178 --> 01:18:40,082
[Vic] Oh, here we are with Shawn Spears
coming right out at Trick Williams.

1482
01:18:40,148 --> 01:18:42,417
[Booker] Oh, we got a fight, Vic,
we got a fight early.

1483
01:18:42,484 --> 01:18:45,053
[Vic] Going back to last week,
it was Trick who tried to help Evans

1484
01:18:45,120 --> 01:18:47,589
and, instead, turned around
and got pummeled

1485
01:18:47,656 --> 01:18:50,025
by our guest on commentary,
"All Ego" Ethan Page.

1486
01:18:50,092 --> 01:18:52,160
-And his opponent tonight, here.
-[Ethan] Great descriptive words.

1487
01:18:52,227 --> 01:18:53,128
[Vic] Shawn Spears.

1488
01:18:53,195 --> 01:18:55,597
[Booker] You know, two people
shared one common cause

1489
01:18:55,664 --> 01:18:59,434
and that's to beat the hell out of Trick
Willie. You gotta understand that, Vic.

1490
01:18:59,501 --> 01:19:04,039
You gotta under-- these two men
and this man right here, All Ego,

1491
01:19:04,106 --> 01:19:06,608
they're not here to play games,
they're not here to make friends,

1492
01:19:06,675 --> 01:19:08,944
-they're here to make money, man.
-[Vic] Texas Championship.

1493
01:19:09,010 --> 01:19:10,679
-[Booker] Texas championships.
-[Ethan] Thank you, Booker.

1494
01:19:10,746 --> 01:19:13,815
[Vic] Well, right now,
the champ is being taken down,

1495
01:19:13,882 --> 01:19:17,352
and it is Shawn Spears who is
in control of our champion,

1496
01:19:17,419 --> 01:19:18,687
that being Trick Williams.

1497
01:19:18,754 --> 01:19:21,690
And, the thing that really stood out
last week that I want to come to you,

1498
01:19:21,757 --> 01:19:24,493
-Booker, about--
-[Booker] Oh, man, that's hot.

1499
01:19:24,559 --> 01:19:28,096
[Vic] Does Trick still need
to get comfortable being uncomfortable?

1500
01:19:28,163 --> 01:19:31,032
[Booker] You gotta understand, man,
when you the champ,

1501
01:19:31,099 --> 01:19:33,735
-you in a tough, tough spot.
-[Vic] Oh, my!

1502
01:19:33,802 --> 01:19:36,538
-[Booker] You're not the hunter anymore.
-[Vic] He's whooping that Trick.

1503
01:19:36,605 --> 01:19:39,141
-[Booker] Oh, yes, man!
-[Ethan] I'm enjoying this.

1504
01:19:42,310 --> 01:19:44,379
[inaudible]

1505
01:19:44,446 --> 01:19:46,982
-[Vic] This is high--impact and--
-[crowd] You got Trick [inaudible]

1506
01:19:47,048 --> 01:19:48,450
-[Vic] Ethan, I gotta--
-[Ethan] Yeah.

1507
01:19:48,517 --> 01:19:50,952
[Vic] Gotta ask, who do you think
is gonna be victorious in this match-up?

1508
01:19:51,019 --> 01:19:53,088
[Ethan] What, are you an idiot?
Obviously the champion,

1509
01:19:53,155 --> 01:19:55,857
the number two in NXT,
clearly, because I'm number one,

1510
01:19:55,924 --> 01:19:56,958
I'm just uncrowned.

1511
01:19:58,226 --> 01:20:01,596
[Booker] Champion's advantage,
Vic, that's a very, very simple answer.

1512
01:20:01,663 --> 01:20:03,532
[Ethan] He's got the belt.
Of course he's going to win.

1513
01:20:04,866 --> 01:20:06,935
[Vic] Right back in is William - Spears.

1514
01:20:07,002 --> 01:20:10,572
Oh, both men had the same thought.

1515
01:20:13,041 --> 01:20:16,244
-Trick Williams--
-[Booker] Oh, yeah.

1516
01:20:26,855 --> 01:20:29,391
[Vic] Back live on NXT.
And it's a cross face, center of the ring.

1517
01:20:29,457 --> 01:20:31,526
Shawn Spears looking to make
the NXT champion,

1518
01:20:31,593 --> 01:20:34,095
Trick Williams, tap out here tonight.

1519
01:20:34,162 --> 01:20:35,764
And what would a victory do for Spears?

1520
01:20:35,831 --> 01:20:38,066
I mean, it would send him
straight to the moon,

1521
01:20:38,133 --> 01:20:40,135
put him at the top of the food chain.

1522
01:20:40,202 --> 01:20:43,705
I'm talking about a guy that's
on that path to [inaudible]

1523
01:20:43,772 --> 01:20:46,208
Really, really looking to be here at NXT.

1524
01:20:46,274 --> 01:20:48,543
[Vic] This is Dire Straits right now
for Trick Williams,

1525
01:20:48,610 --> 01:20:51,746
who's trying to crawl,
muster the energy to reach out

1526
01:20:51,813 --> 01:20:54,249
and finally made his way
to the bottom rope.

1527
01:20:54,316 --> 01:20:57,752
And I'm gonna go back to what
we just saw moments ago,

1528
01:20:57,819 --> 01:21:01,122
that it was Oro Mensah right here.

1529
01:21:01,189 --> 01:21:04,659
I mean, he spilled his hearts out earlier

1530
01:21:04,726 --> 01:21:08,830
and I mean, he looked to tear
the heart out of Ethan Page

1531
01:21:08,897 --> 01:21:10,265
for everything that has gone on.

1532
01:21:10,332 --> 01:21:13,802
But, back to your point,
for Shawn Spears, this is a huge match-up.

1533
01:21:13,869 --> 01:21:15,737
Trick Williams, the NXT champion.

1534
01:21:15,804 --> 01:21:19,174
If you can pin the NXT champion
in a non-title match-up,

1535
01:21:19,241 --> 01:21:22,010
that certainly does shoot you
to the moon, as you would say.

1536
01:21:22,077 --> 01:21:23,511
[Booker] It puts you on the map, Vic.

1537
01:21:23,578 --> 01:21:27,716
I mean, Shawn Spears is here to go
on that path, that winning path.

1538
01:21:27,782 --> 01:21:30,485
And it starts right here
with Trick Willie.

1539
01:21:31,786 --> 01:21:34,322
[Vic] Well, we talked about Shawn Spears
and Ethan Page.

1540
01:21:34,389 --> 01:21:36,625
It was Spears who brought up
that he beat Je'Von Evans,

1541
01:21:36,691 --> 01:21:40,128
who is the rightful number one contender
to Trick Williams

1542
01:21:40,195 --> 01:21:42,464
and the NXT championship at Heatwave.

1543
01:21:42,530 --> 01:21:45,934
And you wonder, is Evans
watching this match as a friend

1544
01:21:46,001 --> 01:21:47,636
or as Trick's future opponent?

1545
01:21:47,702 --> 01:21:52,407
[Booker] What do you think? Young OG
wants to be the OG of NXT one day.

1546
01:21:52,474 --> 01:21:55,610
And his eye is on this man right here,
Trick Williams.

1547
01:21:55,677 --> 01:21:58,179
Look here, DTA. DTA, Vic.

1548
01:21:58,246 --> 01:22:02,417
-You cannot trust anyone, man.
-[Vic] And is that why Trick Williams

1549
01:22:02,484 --> 01:22:04,653
is keeping Evans at arm's reach?

1550
01:22:04,719 --> 01:22:08,123
Because Evans, who wanted to be out here
tonight to help Trick Williams,

1551
01:22:08,189 --> 01:22:10,358
as Williams-- nice counter
though by Spears.

1552
01:22:10,425 --> 01:22:12,661
Had it scouted back in with a super kick.

1553
01:22:12,727 --> 01:22:15,363
[Booker] One thing Trick Williams
has done in a long time.

1554
01:22:15,430 --> 01:22:18,366
Think about who? Numero uno, mat.

1555
01:22:18,433 --> 01:22:20,402
-[Vic] Oh!
-[Booker] Oh, yes!

1556
01:22:20,468 --> 01:22:23,204
[Vic] And it's Spears again
drawing into the cover.

1557
01:22:23,271 --> 01:22:26,274
Hook of the leg and another near-fall.

1558
01:22:26,341 --> 01:22:29,477
Almost able to pin the NXT champion.

1559
01:22:29,878 --> 01:22:31,913
High, impactful offense.

1560
01:22:31,980 --> 01:22:36,451
And Shawn Spears, which you say
is very deliberate in his approach,

1561
01:22:36,518 --> 01:22:38,520
-in-ring and out of ring.
-[Booker] Not just deliberate,

1562
01:22:38,586 --> 01:22:41,189
he's very diabolical, Vic.

1563
01:22:41,256 --> 01:22:43,525
[Vic] This is our main event of NXT.

1564
01:22:43,591 --> 01:22:46,027
A week from Sunday, it is NXT Heatwave.

1565
01:22:46,094 --> 01:22:50,632
Right now, it is Shawn Spears taking on
the NXT champion, Trick Williams.

1566
01:22:50,699 --> 01:22:52,968
Trick Williams
does not want to suffer defeat

1567
01:22:53,034 --> 01:22:56,438
before he defends his title in Toronto.

1568
01:22:57,272 --> 01:22:59,874
We talked about Evans,
the rightful number one contender.

1569
01:22:59,941 --> 01:23:03,411
The man who believes
he is the number one contender

1570
01:23:03,478 --> 01:23:07,282
sat ringside with us, Ethan Page,
who was ran off by the main man, Mensah.

1571
01:23:07,349 --> 01:23:10,986
And, for Shawn Spears,
he's trying to stay in the conversation,

1572
01:23:11,052 --> 01:23:13,588
but Trick Williams now just got caught
with a jumping knee.

1573
01:23:13,655 --> 01:23:16,424
His knees buckled right back around,
catches Spears.

1574
01:23:16,491 --> 01:23:19,828
[Booker] What a combination
by these two right now, Vic.

1575
01:23:19,894 --> 01:23:21,930
Oh, God, man!

1576
01:23:22,497 --> 01:23:26,034
[Vic] Williams somehow only stayed
on his feet because of the top rope,

1577
01:23:26,101 --> 01:23:28,737
but just caught Shawn Spears.

1578
01:23:29,070 --> 01:23:30,739
[Trick] [screams]

1579
01:23:30,805 --> 01:23:32,140
[Booker] [laughs]

1580
01:23:32,440 --> 01:23:35,677
That bad. That bad, Vic.

1581
01:23:35,944 --> 01:23:36,778
[Vic] Oh, oh.

1582
01:23:38,013 --> 01:23:39,014
Security!

1583
01:23:40,682 --> 01:23:42,784
There's that extra security that's…

1584
01:23:45,053 --> 01:23:46,054
out here.

1585
01:23:55,163 --> 01:23:57,465
[crowd] Oh!

1586
01:24:02,504 --> 01:24:04,873
-[Vic] What the…?
-[crowd] Oh!

1587
01:24:08,209 --> 01:24:11,413
[Vic] Trick Williams just got hit
across the face.

1588
01:24:11,479 --> 01:24:12,914
All hell's breaking loose.

1589
01:24:12,981 --> 01:24:16,317
And Shawn Spears in the center
of the ring, hoisting up the champ.

1590
01:24:16,785 --> 01:24:19,287
C4 into the corner!

1591
01:24:20,655 --> 01:24:22,924
-And with--
-[crowd] 1, 2, 3!

1592
01:24:22,991 --> 01:24:28,196
[Vic] Shawn Spears has just pinned
the NXT champion.

1593
01:24:29,164 --> 01:24:34,102
[Announcer] Here is your winner,
Shawn Spears.

1594
01:24:35,837 --> 01:24:41,676
[Vic] Looking in the eyes of the man
who called his shot earlier tonight.

1595
01:24:48,016 --> 01:24:51,219
-But Booker, this was…
-[crowd] Oh!

1596
01:24:52,387 --> 01:24:53,855
[Vic] This was chaotic.

1597
01:24:55,790 --> 01:24:57,759
We had something thrown at us.

1598
01:24:57,826 --> 01:25:03,164
We were turning away, we turned back
around, we see that C4 from Shawn Spears.

1599
01:25:03,231 --> 01:25:07,802
I'm looking over, there's kids crying
in the front row after what just happened,

1600
01:25:07,869 --> 01:25:09,904
with all the crap that we just witnessed.

1601
01:25:09,971 --> 01:25:15,677
In the end, it is Shawn Spears
who just pinned the NXT champion

1602
01:25:15,743 --> 01:25:21,182
in front of a stunned,
an absolutely stunned NXT universe.

1603
01:25:27,188 --> 01:25:28,189
What the…?

1604
01:25:35,163 --> 01:25:37,465
[Robert] Ava, Ava, what the hell
are you gonna do about this?

1605
01:25:37,532 --> 01:25:40,735
[Stevie] Spears just beat
the NXT champion. I don't believe it.

1606
01:25:40,802 --> 01:25:42,370
[Robert] But Je'Von won the Battle Royal.

1607
01:25:42,437 --> 01:25:44,372
[Stevie] Yes, but each of them
beat Je'Von.

1608
01:25:44,439 --> 01:25:46,174
[Robert] Spears just beat Trick.

1609
01:25:46,241 --> 01:25:48,076
-[Stevie] Yes, but--
-[Ava] All right. Yeah, guys.

1610
01:25:48,143 --> 01:25:50,845
-[Robert] Ava, what are we gonna do?
-[Stevie] What are you gonna do?

1611
01:25:51,379 --> 01:25:54,449
[Ava] All right, here's what I'm gonna do.

1612
01:25:55,250 --> 01:25:57,585
Everyone has compelling cases,

1613
01:25:58,453 --> 01:26:02,056
so Heatwave, NXT Championship,

1614
01:26:03,057 --> 01:26:05,326
Fatal 4-Way, done.

1615
01:26:06,127 --> 01:26:06,794
-[Robert] I love that.
-[Ava] Thank you.

1616
01:26:07,328 --> 01:26:08,796
