my North American championship

12
00:01:00,427 --> 00:01:01,861
and getting it back.

13
00:01:01,928 --> 00:01:05,632
[Oba] Wes, at Heatwave,
I will crush not only your body,

14
00:01:05,698 --> 00:01:10,303

00:01:19,779 --> 00:01:21,614
I am bringing the heat to Toronto.

19
00:01:21,681 --> 00:01:27,287
And leaving as the NXT
women's North American champion.

20
00:01:27,353 --> 00:01:30,924
[Jordan] It's up to me
to create the importance for this title.

21
00:01:30,990 --> 00:01:33,927

A fatal four-way match,

41
00:02:32,051 --> 00:02:34,187
But the only thing that will happen,

42
00:02:34,254 --> 00:02:37,156

NXT Heatwave.

48
00:02:58,711 --> 00:03:01,114
[Vic] It's been long five years

49
00:03:01,180 --> 00:03:04,417
since NXT has had a premium live event
in the great white north.

50
00:03:04,484 --> 00:03:07,420
Money in the Bank weekend ends
in Toronto tonight.

51
00:03:07,487 --> 00:03:09,856
As lives were changed last night,

52
00:03:09,923 --> 00:03:12,492
careers will be changed in moments.

53
00:03:12,559 --> 00:03:15,361
We welcome you to NXT Heatwave,

54
00:03:15,428 --> 00:03:18,831
where all five NXT championships

55
00:03:18,898 --> 00:03:21,768
will be defended this evening.

56
00:03:21,834 --> 00:03:23,136
And earlier today,

57
00:03:23,203 --> 00:03:25,004
one of the three challengers

58
00:03:25,071 --> 00:03:26,973
in our main event, he arrived.

59
00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,109
That being the one and only, Ethan Page.

60
00:03:30,176 --> 00:03:31,711
He was in his Canadian vest.

61
00:03:31,778 --> 00:03:34,681
He looks to capture the NXT championship

62
00:03:34,747 --> 00:03:36,516
in his hometown.

63
00:03:36,583 --> 00:03:38,785
And to be honest, truth be told,

64
00:03:38,851 --> 00:03:43,623
the odds are not in the favor
of our champion, Trick Williams.

65
00:03:43,690 --> 00:03:47,760
So the question on everyone's mind
is who will leave Heatwave

66
00:03:47,827 --> 00:03:50,496
with the NXT championship?

[bell ringing]

70
00:04:13,319 --> 00:04:16,556
[male announcer 1] The following contest,
scheduled for one fall,

71
00:04:16,623 --> 00:04:19,659
is for the NXT

72
00:04:19,726 --> 00:04:25,231
North American Championship!

73
00:04:25,298 --> 00:04:27,066

74
00:04:27,133 --> 00:04:31,838
Wes Lee!

75
00:04:31,904 --> 00:04:34,240
[Vic] Book, I'm just going to ask.

76
00:04:34,307 --> 00:04:35,708
Was it wise of Wes

77
00:04:35,775 --> 00:04:38,244
to accept the stipulation

78
00:04:38,311 --> 00:04:42,115
that this is his only opportunity
against Oba.

79
00:04:42,181 --> 00:04:45,752
[Booker] Vic, you got to go understand,
Oba Finley has the gold,

80
00:04:45,818 --> 00:04:48,321
so he makes all the use of it.

81
00:04:48,388 --> 00:04:49,355
If you want a shot,

82
00:04:49,422 --> 00:04:51,791
you got to go capitulate to his rules.

83
00:04:51,858 --> 00:04:54,994
His rules is, you get one shot, man.

84
00:04:55,061 --> 00:04:57,063
One shot, and it's over.

85
00:04:57,130 --> 00:05:01,034
When I say it's over, I mean it's over.

86
00:05:01,100 --> 00:05:04,037
[Vic] Early on, you've hit me
with a Scrabble word.

87
00:05:04,103 --> 00:05:07,373
-[Booker] Capitulate?
-[Vic] Yes. I was impressed by that.

88
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:11,577
But for Wes Lee, he does not want
to find himself like Seth Rollins,

89
00:05:11,644 --> 00:05:15,014
who cannot challenge Damian Priest
for the world title,

90
00:05:15,081 --> 00:05:16,783
as long as Priest is champion.

91
00:05:16,849 --> 00:05:19,686

92
00:05:19,752 --> 00:05:20,953

like the North American Champion?

102

[Booker] No doubt.

103
00:06:25,284 --> 00:06:28,855
Oba Femi, he's a generational talent, Vic.

104
00:06:28,921 --> 00:06:32,458
I don't care if it was 1975

to present day,

106
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:37,597
or 2050, this dude right here,

107
00:06:37,663 --> 00:06:39,565
he's a star man,

108
00:06:39,632 --> 00:06:42,402
and he's the North American Champion.

110

Wes Lee's giving up 130 pounds

112
00:06:50,243 --> 00:06:53,479
to our massive champion here tonight.

113
00:06:56,416 --> 00:06:57,917
Oba has been nothing short

114
00:06:58,418 --> 00:07:02,722
of an unstoppable machine.
But there is no fear in the eyes

115
00:07:02,789 --> 00:07:05,525
of the challenger who looks to reclaim

116
00:07:05,591 --> 00:07:08,728
the North American title, here tonight.

117
00:07:08,795 --> 00:07:11,197
And before this match
gets officially underway,

118
00:07:11,264 --> 00:07:14,233
what is it going to take for Lee to win?

[crowd cheering]

123
00:07:22,408 --> 00:07:24,977
I wonder if he got one
of those in his tool bag

124

because he might need it.

125
00:07:27,380 --> 00:07:30,383

Lee, an impressive eight in two
on premium live events.

129
00:07:36,989 --> 00:07:38,624
The catch there, though, Book,

130
00:07:38,691 --> 00:07:41,194
is Wes Lee has lost his last two.

131
00:07:41,260 --> 00:07:43,830
[Booker] Wes Lee is on a mission.

132
00:07:43,896 --> 00:07:45,698
Wes Lee lost that championship

133
00:07:45,765 --> 00:07:49,602
due to not anyone pinning his shoulders
to the mat.

134
00:07:49,669 --> 00:07:52,839
That's something that he thinks
about on a regular basis.

135
00:07:52,905 --> 00:07:55,474
[Vic] Something Williams
has to be thinking about.

136

Fatal four-way, does not need
to be pinned,

137
00:07:57,777 --> 00:07:59,178
does not need to be factored

138
00:07:59,245 --> 00:08:01,447
in the decision
to lose the NXT championship.

139
00:08:01,514 --> 00:08:03,382
-[Oba groans]
-[Vic] Femi at his best,

140
00:08:03,449 --> 00:08:07,220
overpowering, manhandling,
the massive frame

141
00:08:07,286 --> 00:08:08,254
of Oba Femi.

142
00:08:08,321 --> 00:08:09,555
And look at Wes Lee,

143
00:08:09,622 --> 00:08:12,758
creating separation,
he's going to have to use that speed,

144
00:08:12,825 --> 00:08:16,095
that quickness, going to the
body, trying to crack a rib.

145
00:08:16,162 --> 00:08:18,231
-But Oba Femi, not fazed.
-[Booker laughs]

146
00:08:18,297 --> 00:08:19,131
[Vic] Oh!

147
00:08:19,198 --> 00:08:21,934
[Booker] It's unfortunate
that this is a lightweight

148
00:08:22,001 --> 00:08:25,371
versus a super heavyweight,
but that's just part of the business.

149
00:08:25,438 --> 00:08:27,907
Something that this young man is going

150
00:08:27,974 --> 00:08:29,308
to have to overcome.

151
00:08:29,375 --> 00:08:31,644
-[Vic] Swinging for the fences.
-[Booker] Wow!

152
00:08:31,711 --> 00:08:34,113
[Vic] To no avail,
Lee was a tag team competitor.

153
00:08:34,180 --> 00:08:38,017
He was forced to break out on his own.
He captured the North American title.

154
00:08:38,084 --> 00:08:43,055
He literally broke his back
defending and elevating that championship.

155
00:08:43,122 --> 00:08:43,990
Big roundhouse.

156
00:08:44,056 --> 00:08:45,625
[Booker] Whoa, got caught.

157
00:08:45,691 --> 00:08:46,926
[Vic] Springboard, boom!

158
00:08:46,993 --> 00:08:48,494
Right to the back of the neck.

159
00:08:48,561 --> 00:08:51,264
That's Wes Lee.
That's how long he's been in the game.

160
00:08:51,330 --> 00:08:52,398
He didn't sweat it.

161
00:08:52,465 --> 00:08:53,966
-He didn't crack.
-[Lee groans]

162
00:08:54,033 --> 00:08:56,102
[Vic] He stayed composed. He struck back.

163
00:08:56,168 --> 00:08:57,803
Speaking of striking,

164
00:08:57,870 --> 00:08:59,238
bouncing back is Lee.

165
00:08:59,305 --> 00:09:01,340
And Lee, this time, gets caught.

166
00:09:01,407 --> 00:09:04,010
And there is that power on display

167
00:09:04,076 --> 00:09:05,978
-[Booker] Yes.
-[Vic] by Femi.

168
00:09:06,045 --> 00:09:07,480
[Booker] That monster, man.

169
00:09:07,547 --> 00:09:10,016
You don't want to stay too close

170
00:09:10,082 --> 00:09:12,718
to the body of this big man right here,

171
00:09:12,785 --> 00:09:16,022
because he may be indestructible.

172
00:09:16,088 --> 00:09:18,925
He has that cloak
of invincibility right now.

173
00:09:18,991 --> 00:09:20,026
So my thing is, man,

174
00:09:20,092 --> 00:09:21,994
this is going to be a fight tonight.

175
00:09:22,061 --> 00:09:23,229
[Vic] Take a look.

176
00:09:23,296 --> 00:09:24,163
[indistinct]

177
00:09:24,230 --> 00:09:25,665
[Vic] Bam. Big right.

178
00:09:25,731 --> 00:09:27,567
Unbeaten in his NXT career.

179
00:09:27,633 --> 00:09:28,868
Showing you why.

180
00:09:28,935 --> 00:09:32,104
Wes Lee is showing why he doesn't quit.

181
00:09:32,171 --> 00:09:36,442
And I hate to say it, but is Lee's heart
too big for his own good?

182
00:09:36,509 --> 00:09:38,044
[Booker] It may be too big,

183
00:09:38,110 --> 00:09:39,912
but that's what makes Wes Lee,

184
00:09:39,979 --> 00:09:41,747
Wes Lee, his heart, man!

185
00:09:41,814 --> 00:09:43,082
What do you call him?

186
00:09:43,149 --> 00:09:44,684
-The Kardiak Kid.
-[Vic] Yes.

187
00:09:44,750 --> 00:09:47,486
-[Booker] That's got to do with the heart.
-[Vic] Holy--

188
00:09:47,553 --> 00:09:48,521
[Booker] Oh, man!

189
00:09:48,588 --> 00:09:50,456
[crowd cheering]

190
00:09:51,257 --> 00:09:52,758
[Booker] Kardiak.

191
00:09:52,825 --> 00:09:53,659
[indistinct]

192
00:09:53,726 --> 00:09:55,094
[Booker] He's a drunkard.

193
00:09:56,095 --> 00:09:57,563
[crowd cheering]

194
00:09:57,630 --> 00:09:59,432
[Vic] A human being,

195
00:09:59,498 --> 00:10:01,133
a grown-ass man

196
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:04,303
just got tossed, like a small child.

197
00:10:04,370 --> 00:10:05,471
[Booker] God, man!

198
00:10:05,538 --> 00:10:07,206
[crowd cheering]

199
00:10:07,273 --> 00:10:11,544
[crowd chanting]

200
00:10:11,611 --> 00:10:13,813
-[Booker] You got to--
-[Vic] Unbelievable!

201
00:10:13,879 --> 00:10:17,617
[Booker] The strength, the size advantage
is going to go to Oba Femi.

202
00:10:17,683 --> 00:10:19,051
The thing is,

203
00:10:19,118 --> 00:10:21,120
this dude is still untapped.

204
00:10:21,187 --> 00:10:24,457
We don't know how far
Oba Femi actually goes, Vic.

205
00:10:24,523 --> 00:10:27,460
[Vic] You can say that again.
It was Femi who said tonight,

206
00:10:27,526 --> 00:10:29,095
he will crush Lee's dreams.

207
00:10:29,161 --> 00:10:31,330
He will crush Lee's body.

208
00:10:31,397 --> 00:10:32,632
It's hard to argue also,

209
00:10:32,698 --> 00:10:34,033
that there's not this…

210
00:10:35,267 --> 00:10:37,670
aura around Oba Femi as well.

211
00:10:37,737 --> 00:10:40,373
We almost were introduced to Wes Lee.

212
00:10:40,439 --> 00:10:41,674
[Femi] Hey!

213
00:10:42,241 --> 00:10:44,610
This is your greatest
North American champ?

214
00:10:44,677 --> 00:10:47,179
This is the greatest-- North America?

215
00:10:47,246 --> 00:10:48,914
[man 1] He's back here!

216
00:10:48,981 --> 00:10:51,917
[crowd cheering]

217
00:10:51,984 --> 00:10:53,519
[Vic] Oba Femi again,

218
00:10:53,586 --> 00:10:54,854
[groans]

219
00:10:54,920 --> 00:10:58,090
just screaming at you, taking it
to Wes-- Holy!

220
00:10:58,157 --> 00:10:59,859
Come on, ref!

221
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:03,763
The unexposed steel
from underneath the ring.

222
00:11:05,965 --> 00:11:07,199
It's just me!

223
00:11:07,266 --> 00:11:09,101
[Vic] Did you see Lee's face?

224
00:11:09,168 --> 00:11:11,704
His nose just bounce off that steel!

225
00:11:11,771 --> 00:11:13,639
I mean, the referee might have to--

226
00:11:13,706 --> 00:11:16,008
[crowd cheering]

227
00:11:16,075 --> 00:11:19,011
[ref] Right there! Come on, Wes!

228
00:11:19,078 --> 00:11:21,147
[Vic] I don't know how Wes Lee gets by.

229
00:11:21,213 --> 00:11:22,782
I am speechless right now.

230
00:11:22,848 --> 00:11:25,584
-This was… nasty.
-[crowd cheering]

231
00:11:25,651 --> 00:11:27,153
[Vic] This was gnarly.

232
00:11:27,219 --> 00:11:28,154
Yes!

233
00:11:28,220 --> 00:11:29,455
[crowd] Four!

234
00:11:29,522 --> 00:11:32,224
[Vic] What Oba Femi is putting
Wes Lee through

235
00:11:32,291 --> 00:11:33,459
in just the last,

236
00:11:33,526 --> 00:11:35,694
what would it take, three or four minutes?

237
00:11:35,761 --> 00:11:36,695
It's unbelievable!

238
00:11:36,762 --> 00:11:39,331
[Booker] Femi said exactly
what he was going to do,

239
00:11:39,398 --> 00:11:40,833
and now he's doing it, Vic.

240
00:11:40,900 --> 00:11:41,734
I mean,

241
00:11:42,301 --> 00:11:45,204
Wes Lee was a great champion, but…

242
00:11:46,372 --> 00:11:47,907
he was a great champion.

243
00:11:47,973 --> 00:11:50,076
-[Vic] I'll tell you--
-[Booker] Oh, wow!

244
00:11:50,142 --> 00:11:52,878
[Vic] Lee being
the greatest champion of all time.

245
00:11:52,945 --> 00:11:54,480
He stared right at you and--

246
00:11:54,547 --> 00:11:56,348
And big backbreaker!

247
00:11:56,415 --> 00:11:58,350
And you think about the injured back

248
00:11:58,417 --> 00:11:59,251
to Wes Lee.

249
00:11:59,318 --> 00:12:00,820
What sidelined Wes Lee

250
00:12:00,886 --> 00:12:02,121
for several months?

251
00:12:02,188 --> 00:12:03,656
-Oba Femi knows it.
-[Lee] No!

252
00:12:03,723 --> 00:12:07,126
[Vic] He's going to expose it
and he wants to hurt Lee tonight.

253
00:12:07,193 --> 00:12:10,329
[Booker] Take nothing away from Lee.
He was a great champion,

254
00:12:10,396 --> 00:12:12,932
perhaps, the greatest
North American Champion,

255
00:12:12,998 --> 00:12:16,368
but all records are meant
to be broken, Vic, all of them.

256
00:12:16,435 --> 00:12:18,270
[Vic] Femi said that his opponent,

257
00:12:18,337 --> 00:12:21,440
Wes Lee, is living in the past.

258
00:12:21,507 --> 00:12:22,942
[crowd cheering]

259
00:12:23,008 --> 00:12:26,312
Femi has been conquering NXT,
like he did track and field

260
00:12:26,378 --> 00:12:28,948
in the SEC at Alabama,

261
00:12:29,014 --> 00:12:31,784
as the NXT Universe here,
in the Scotiabank Arena

262
00:12:31,851 --> 00:12:35,387
in Toronto is trying to rally Wes Lee,

263
00:12:35,454 --> 00:12:37,823
but that's over 330 pounds,

264
00:12:37,890 --> 00:12:42,261
stepping right
on that surgically repaired back.

265
00:12:42,328 --> 00:12:46,799
[Booker] No, no, no.
That's adding insult to injury, Vic.

266
00:12:46,866 --> 00:12:47,933
That's what that is.

267
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:49,335
[Vic] Lee trying to fight.

268
00:12:49,401 --> 00:12:51,504
Look at Lee trying
to get back to his feet.

269
00:12:51,570 --> 00:12:53,139
-[thud]
-[crowd cheering]

270
00:12:53,205 --> 00:12:54,774
[Vic] That didn't last long.

271
00:12:54,840 --> 00:12:56,776
Femi, instead of going for the pin,

272
00:12:56,842 --> 00:12:58,978
instead of ending this, he wants to punish

273
00:12:59,044 --> 00:13:01,180
and beat the hell out of Wes Lee.

274
00:13:01,247 --> 00:13:05,584
[Booker] Just manhandling Wes Lee
like a rag doll,

275
00:13:05,651 --> 00:13:06,652
just ripping him.

276
00:13:07,386 --> 00:13:10,623
[Vic] Lee just got folded in half
off of one right hand

277
00:13:10,689 --> 00:13:11,557
from Oba.

278
00:13:11,624 --> 00:13:14,093
[Booker] Big shot by Oba.

279
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:15,828
That was a huge shot, Vic.

280
00:13:16,395 --> 00:13:20,132
[Vic] Michael Cole said
he's been impressed with Oba Femi,

281
00:13:20,199 --> 00:13:22,268
and unlike in our main event, there is,

282
00:13:23,068 --> 00:13:24,336
for the champion tonight,

283
00:13:24,403 --> 00:13:26,839
in this matchup,
Femi would have no one to blame,

284
00:13:26,906 --> 00:13:29,809
but himself, if he were to lose.
But Femi, right now,

285
00:13:29,875 --> 00:13:31,076
is saying light work.

286
00:13:31,143 --> 00:13:34,113
He's just throwing Wes Lee around,
like he's having fun,

287
00:13:34,180 --> 00:13:38,217
-[Booker] Ripping him like a rag doll.
-[Vic] like this is an appetizer.

288
00:13:38,284 --> 00:13:41,320
[Booker] This is easy work right here
for Oba Femi.

289
00:13:41,387 --> 00:13:43,189
[crowd cheering]

290
00:13:45,591 --> 00:13:48,194
[Vic] I can feel an uneasy tension,
because it's hard

291
00:13:48,260 --> 00:13:50,996
to watch Wes Lee right now,
who's trying his best,

292
00:13:51,063 --> 00:13:55,334
because he knows
that if he's not victorious,

293
00:13:55,401 --> 00:13:57,403
he can never again challenge

294
00:13:57,469 --> 00:13:59,672
for the North American Championship,

295
00:13:59,738 --> 00:14:02,274
as long as Oba Femi is champion.

296
00:14:02,341 --> 00:14:04,009
[Booker] Can't count Wes Lee out.

297
00:14:04,076 --> 00:14:07,413
You better not count Wes Lee out.

298
00:14:07,479 --> 00:14:09,315
You better not sleep on Wes Lee

299
00:14:09,381 --> 00:14:11,417
because he will pull something out, Vic.

300
00:14:11,483 --> 00:14:13,686
[Vic] I don't sleep on Wes Lee.

301
00:14:13,752 --> 00:14:15,955
When you look at Oba Femi,
do you see a kink

302
00:14:16,021 --> 00:14:19,425
in the armor of the champion?
Lee can't get thrown across the ring

303
00:14:19,491 --> 00:14:20,926
without his body giving out.

304
00:14:20,993 --> 00:14:23,329
[Booker] We've talked
about becoming champion,

305
00:14:23,395 --> 00:14:26,966
how having that championship
make you about 30% better having,

306
00:14:27,032 --> 00:14:28,434
like I say, that cloak

307
00:14:28,500 --> 00:14:30,102
-of invincibility.
-[Vic] Oh, no.

308
00:14:30,169 --> 00:14:32,371
-[Booker] Here we go.
-[Vic] Lee's trapped.

309
00:14:32,438 --> 00:14:35,174
-He can't get his right leg out.
-[Booker] This is it.

310
00:14:35,241 --> 00:14:36,141
[Vic] And Femi,

311
00:14:37,443 --> 00:14:39,745
measuring with Lee in his sights,

312
00:14:39,812 --> 00:14:41,981
and Lee just got out of the way!

313
00:14:42,047 --> 00:14:44,950
Or that
would've been absolutely disastrous.

314
00:14:45,017 --> 00:14:46,418
-[Vic] Lee now!
-[Booker] Oh!

315
00:14:46,485 --> 00:14:48,220
Taking it to the champion.

316
00:14:48,287 --> 00:14:51,557
[Booker] Femi's head just bounced
off the steel right there, Vic.

317
00:14:51,624 --> 00:14:54,526
-I don't know if you heard.
-[Vic] Can he get Femi over?

318
00:14:54,593 --> 00:14:55,928
Lee trying and Oba…

319
00:14:56,695 --> 00:14:59,398
overmatching, overpowering,

320
00:14:59,465 --> 00:15:01,667
and, oh! Goes over the top.

321
00:15:01,734 --> 00:15:03,769
[crowd cheering]

322
00:15:05,104 --> 00:15:09,074
[Booker] Oh, Wes Lee's going into it.

323
00:15:09,141 --> 00:15:11,076
His trick bag, Vic.

324
00:15:11,143 --> 00:15:12,578
[Lee groans]

325
00:15:13,379 --> 00:15:14,213
[thud]

326
00:15:14,280 --> 00:15:15,547
[Vic] Oh!

327
00:15:16,415 --> 00:15:18,217
-[Femi] Wake up!
-[Booker] God man.

328
00:15:18,284 --> 00:15:19,885
[crowd cheering]

329
00:15:19,952 --> 00:15:23,789
[Vic] I hate to say it,
but that bag just got slapped shut.

330
00:15:23,856 --> 00:15:26,925
[Booker] Like a fly swatter, man.

331
00:15:26,992 --> 00:15:28,027
[Vic] Listen.

332
00:15:28,093 --> 00:15:29,728
-[thud]
-[crowd] Oh!

333
00:15:29,795 --> 00:15:30,663
[Booker] Argh!

334
00:15:30,729 --> 00:15:32,064
[Femi] Wake up!

335
00:15:32,131 --> 00:15:33,799
[crowd chanting]

336
00:15:33,866 --> 00:15:36,635
[Vic] Again the official,
but again, there's no quit

337
00:15:36,702 --> 00:15:37,703
in Wes Lee,

338
00:15:37,770 --> 00:15:42,341
who maybe has become obsessed
with the North American Championship,

339
00:15:42,408 --> 00:15:46,211
which is something
that the champion suggested on Tuesday.

340
00:15:46,278 --> 00:15:49,682
-[crowd] This is awesome! [clapping]
-[Vic] This is just the start

341
00:15:49,748 --> 00:15:51,817
of NXT Heatwave.

342
00:15:51,884 --> 00:15:54,520
[crowd] This is awesome! [clapping]

343
00:15:54,586 --> 00:15:57,056
[Vic] I don't know
how much is behind those punches.

344
00:15:57,122 --> 00:15:59,158
I mean, Booker, another backbreaker

345
00:16:00,359 --> 00:16:01,226
to Wes Lee.

346
00:16:01,293 --> 00:16:02,761
And Lee now

347
00:16:02,828 --> 00:16:06,031
-[Lee groans]
-[Vic] just literally getting stretched.

348
00:16:06,098 --> 00:16:08,233
[Booker] You got
to be impressed with Femi.

349
00:16:08,300 --> 00:16:10,269
He's pretty much into the game,

350
00:16:10,336 --> 00:16:11,804
but his in-ring prowess, Vic,

351
00:16:11,870 --> 00:16:14,773
is definitely second enough.

352
00:16:14,840 --> 00:16:16,475
[Vic] Wes Lee trying to hang on,

353
00:16:16,542 --> 00:16:17,977
trying to fight,

354
00:16:18,043 --> 00:16:21,513
trying to do anything he can,
to get back into this matchup.

355
00:16:21,580 --> 00:16:23,816
Because it has been one-sided,

356
00:16:23,882 --> 00:16:27,853
except for a little bit
of a flurry to start from Lee.

357
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:29,388
[Booker] God, man!

358
00:16:29,455 --> 00:16:30,522
[Vic] Into the cover!

359
00:16:30,589 --> 00:16:33,359
Will it finally be-- And Lee kicked out.

360
00:16:33,425 --> 00:16:36,228
[Booker] Oh, it doesn't matter.
It really doesn't matter.

361
00:16:36,295 --> 00:16:38,030
I mean, it's time.

362
00:16:38,097 --> 00:16:39,031
Time is ticking.

363
00:16:39,098 --> 00:16:42,768
[Vic] What a way to kick off NXT Heatwave.
North American Championship

364
00:16:42,835 --> 00:16:43,702
is on the line.

365
00:16:43,769 --> 00:16:46,739
The first of five championship matches
here tonight,

366
00:16:46,805 --> 00:16:48,741
to cap off Money in the Bank weekend

367
00:16:48,807 --> 00:16:49,942
in Toronto.

368
00:16:50,008 --> 00:16:52,011
But it's all on the line for Wes Lee,

369
00:16:52,077 --> 00:16:53,445
and you can see right now,

370
00:16:53,512 --> 00:16:54,847
his palms are sweaty,

371
00:16:54,913 --> 00:16:56,181
his knees, they're weak,

372
00:16:56,248 --> 00:16:57,816
his arms, they're heavy.

373
00:16:58,417 --> 00:17:00,786
You know he's been nervous all week long,

374
00:17:00,853 --> 00:17:02,221
but on the surface, Booker,

375
00:17:02,287 --> 00:17:03,922
he looks calm, he looks ready,

376
00:17:03,989 --> 00:17:07,926
But if you're Wes Lee right now,
you got to stop dropping bombs.

377
00:17:07,993 --> 00:17:09,228
Start throwing rights

378
00:17:09,294 --> 00:17:11,864
because this might be your final moment.

379
00:17:11,930 --> 00:17:13,465
[crowd cheering]

380
00:17:13,532 --> 00:17:14,867
[Booker] You ain't lying.

381
00:17:15,868 --> 00:17:17,970
[Vic] Lee's got to get that second wind.

382
00:17:18,037 --> 00:17:20,005
Lee, two kicks, right under the jaw.

383
00:17:20,072 --> 00:17:21,940
The knee rocked Oba Femi, as well.

384
00:17:22,007 --> 00:17:24,143
Femi for the first time tonight is
stunned.

385
00:17:24,209 --> 00:17:26,512
He's down to a knee
and here comes the rights,

386
00:17:26,578 --> 00:17:28,347
-here comes the lefts.
-[Lee groans]

387
00:17:28,414 --> 00:17:30,916
Wes Lee's got to let it all out right now.

388
00:17:30,983 --> 00:17:32,484
[Booker] You talked about Lee,

389
00:17:32,551 --> 00:17:34,686
and you said one thing, Vic, his heart.

390
00:17:34,753 --> 00:17:36,321
The one thing about Wes Lee,

391
00:17:36,388 --> 00:17:38,924
he has the biggest heart,
perhaps, here in NXT.

392
00:17:38,991 --> 00:17:39,825
And like I say,

393
00:17:39,892 --> 00:17:43,195
he is perhaps
the greatest North American Champion

394
00:17:43,262 --> 00:17:45,264
of all time and he's got to prove it

395
00:17:45,330 --> 00:17:46,365
against this one man

396
00:17:46,432 --> 00:17:48,267
because he has one shot at it.

397
00:17:48,333 --> 00:17:49,568
Oh, yes, man!

398
00:17:49,635 --> 00:17:51,370
[Vic] He does, Tornado DDT.

399
00:17:51,437 --> 00:17:52,504
Into the cover

400
00:17:52,571 --> 00:17:54,339
to become a two-time--

401
00:17:54,406 --> 00:17:55,374
[Booker] So close!

402
00:17:55,441 --> 00:17:56,942
[crowd cheering]

403
00:17:57,009 --> 00:17:58,477
[Vic] Femi right now,

404
00:17:58,544 --> 00:18:02,781
Femi is in a position
he has not found himself in very often.

405
00:18:02,848 --> 00:18:03,849
Wes Lee, though,

406
00:18:03,916 --> 00:18:05,350
has been in this position,

407
00:18:05,417 --> 00:18:08,520
-that deep water, that you talk about.
-[Booker] Yes.

408
00:18:08,587 --> 00:18:11,323
We've never seen Wes Lee have
to dig this deep, Vic.

409
00:18:11,390 --> 00:18:14,193
This is a little different
in my estimations.

410
00:18:14,259 --> 00:18:15,094
[Lee groans]

411
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:16,829
[Vic] And Lee charging right out,

412
00:18:16,895 --> 00:18:18,764
a bit of a dive with the forearm.

413
00:18:18,831 --> 00:18:21,200
Lee trying to do it.
What you said he had to do?

414
00:18:21,266 --> 00:18:23,335
-Go into his bag of tricks?
-[Booker] Yes.

415
00:18:23,402 --> 00:18:26,038
He's got to get that sledgehammer.
Oh, here we go.

416
00:18:26,105 --> 00:18:28,874
[Vic] He's using his body
as a human sledgehammer,

417
00:18:28,941 --> 00:18:30,642
as a battering ram of sorts.

418
00:18:30,709 --> 00:18:32,010
And I don't like the look

419
00:18:32,077 --> 00:18:34,213
in Wes Lee's eyes.

420
00:18:34,279 --> 00:18:35,280
[Booker] Oh!

421
00:18:35,347 --> 00:18:36,949
[crowd cheering]

422
00:18:39,084 --> 00:18:40,419
[Vic] Lee getting Femi

423
00:18:41,019 --> 00:18:42,120
back into the ring.

424
00:18:42,187 --> 00:18:44,456
The only place
Lee can win the championship

425
00:18:44,523 --> 00:18:46,225
inside the squared circle.

426
00:18:46,291 --> 00:18:49,261
Lee looking to fly the Meteora!

427
00:18:49,328 --> 00:18:50,162
Got caught!

428
00:18:50,696 --> 00:18:51,530
Countered!

429
00:18:52,064 --> 00:18:52,998
[Femi groans]

430
00:18:53,065 --> 00:18:54,800
[Vic] Femi overpowering Lee.

431
00:18:56,502 --> 00:19:00,139
-And now Lee, this time, able to counter.
-[Booker] Whoa!

432
00:19:00,205 --> 00:19:01,807
Wow!

433
00:19:01,874 --> 00:19:03,308
-[thud]
-[Vic] Oh my!

434
00:19:03,375 --> 00:19:05,110
-[crowd cheering]
-[Booker] Wow!

435
00:19:06,211 --> 00:19:07,146
[Vic] Oh!

436
00:19:07,212 --> 00:19:10,415
[Booker] This kid is unbelievable.

437
00:19:10,482 --> 00:19:11,617
[crowd cheering]

438
00:19:11,683 --> 00:19:14,219
[Vic] Both superstars shining bright,

439
00:19:15,354 --> 00:19:18,123
here on this Sunday premium live event.

440
00:19:18,957 --> 00:19:22,928
[Booker] Huge appreciation from the crowd.
Hell of a matchup here, Vic.

441
00:19:22,995 --> 00:19:28,300
[crowd] NXT! NXT! NXT!

442
00:19:30,636 --> 00:19:32,638
[Vic] Femi got caught one more time.

443
00:19:32,704 --> 00:19:35,741
Wes Lee now is starting
to get a little bit of momentum.

444
00:19:35,807 --> 00:19:38,377
Lee right now is not taking his eyes
off Oba Femi.

445
00:19:38,443 --> 00:19:40,112
Wes Lee is blocking out the pain,

446
00:19:40,178 --> 00:19:42,281
and this time to the back.

447
00:19:42,347 --> 00:19:43,682
Meteora connects.

448
00:19:43,749 --> 00:19:44,716
[crowd cheering]

449
00:19:44,783 --> 00:19:47,219
[Booker] Going to have
to land another big shot.

450
00:19:47,286 --> 00:19:49,788
-Maybe another after that.
-[Vic] He knows it.

451
00:19:49,855 --> 00:19:50,756
Lee knows it.

452
00:19:50,822 --> 00:19:53,625
And Lee now feeling the effects
of all those backbreakers

453
00:19:53,692 --> 00:19:56,395
of that surgically repaired back,
but he's blocking it.

454
00:19:56,461 --> 00:19:59,164
Feel the pain, but what an uppercut!

455
00:19:59,231 --> 00:20:01,800
-Oh, my, he's out.
-[Booker] [indistinct]

456
00:20:01,867 --> 00:20:03,569
Wow!

457
00:20:03,635 --> 00:20:06,505
[crowd cheering]

458
00:20:07,272 --> 00:20:11,310
[Vic] I don't know
how Wes Lee was able to kick out.

459
00:20:11,376 --> 00:20:14,746
-Look at his body just buckle.
-[crowd cheering]

460
00:20:14,813 --> 00:20:17,416
[Vic] Oba quickly, into that count,

461
00:20:17,482 --> 00:20:20,919
and just getting that left shoulder up.

462
00:20:20,986 --> 00:20:25,324
[Booker] Can Femi capitalize
of that, just a loose-like buckle,

463
00:20:25,390 --> 00:20:27,960
from Wes Lee on that top rope.

464
00:20:28,026 --> 00:20:31,530
[crowd] This is awesome! [clapping]

465
00:20:34,499 --> 00:20:36,702
[Vic] What's going
through the mind right now

466
00:20:36,768 --> 00:20:37,703
of Oba Femi?

467
00:20:37,769 --> 00:20:40,772
[Booker] Look at Oba Femi.
He still looks so fresh, Vic.

468
00:20:40,839 --> 00:20:44,643
He still look like he can go
all night long in this ring, man.

469
00:20:44,710 --> 00:20:48,180
[Vic] This man is an absolute monster,

470
00:20:48,246 --> 00:20:50,716
-and now what is Femi thinking?
-[Booker laughs]

471
00:20:50,782 --> 00:20:53,852
-[Booker] What do you think?
-[Vic] We've seen Femi throw Lee.

472
00:20:53,919 --> 00:20:55,420
[crowd cheering]

473
00:20:55,487 --> 00:20:58,123
[Vic] We've seen him
try to toss him. What?

474
00:20:58,190 --> 00:20:59,625
Lee trying to fight back.

475
00:21:00,826 --> 00:21:04,229
-Both superstars up high.
-[crowd cheering]

476
00:21:04,296 --> 00:21:05,564
[Vic] That big wrist.

477
00:21:05,631 --> 00:21:06,932
[indistinct]

478
00:21:06,999 --> 00:21:08,100
[crowd cheering]

479
00:21:08,166 --> 00:21:09,668
[Vic] Lee got caught.

480
00:21:09,735 --> 00:21:12,271
-[crowd cheering]
-[thud]

481
00:21:12,337 --> 00:21:13,872
[Vic] Powerbomb didn't connect.

482
00:21:13,939 --> 00:21:15,574
Lee was able to reverse it.

483
00:21:15,641 --> 00:21:17,843
Countered in some sort of X factor.

484
00:21:17,909 --> 00:21:19,578
Now picking up some momentum.

485
00:21:19,645 --> 00:21:22,147
Kardiak Kick from the Kardiak Kid.

486
00:21:22,214 --> 00:21:25,517
-[Booker] You got to be kidding.
-[Vic] To do it for a second time!

487
00:21:25,584 --> 00:21:27,552
-[Booker] What?
-[Vic] Oh!

488
00:21:28,353 --> 00:21:30,422
[Vic] Oh! How?

489
00:21:31,189 --> 00:21:32,357
How?

490
00:21:32,424 --> 00:21:33,392
[crowd cheering]

491
00:21:33,458 --> 00:21:36,228
[Booker] I thought
that was champagne wishes

492
00:21:36,294 --> 00:21:40,065
and caviar dreams.
I thought it was over, man.

493
00:21:40,132 --> 00:21:41,066
[crowd cheering]

494
00:21:41,133 --> 00:21:42,634
[Vic] I don't necessarily know

495
00:21:42,701 --> 00:21:45,037
if he got all the Kardiac Kick
that he wanted.

496
00:21:45,103 --> 00:21:46,772
But what I do know,

497
00:21:46,838 --> 00:21:49,341
is Lee is putting his heart on the line.

498
00:21:49,408 --> 00:21:51,810
And now he's putting it all
on the line, Book.

499
00:21:51,877 --> 00:21:55,113
[Booker] He's up top.
He's in his wheelhouse.

500
00:21:55,180 --> 00:21:57,182
-[Vic] He--
-[Booker] Oh, yes!

501
00:21:57,783 --> 00:22:00,419
-[Booker] Whoa.
-[Vic] Holy crap, he did it!

502
00:22:00,485 --> 00:22:01,386
[Booker] What the?

503
00:22:01,453 --> 00:22:03,088
[Vic] Nice counter by Wes Lee.

504
00:22:03,155 --> 00:22:06,158
Femi charging both superstars up and over.

505
00:22:06,224 --> 00:22:08,393
[Booker] No, Wes Lee escaped for a second.

506
00:22:08,460 --> 00:22:10,662
[Vic] Well, you better watch yourself.

507
00:22:10,729 --> 00:22:13,131
Oba getting dangerously close.

508
00:22:13,198 --> 00:22:15,500
Wes Lee, I've seen that look in his eye.

509
00:22:15,567 --> 00:22:16,868
-[crowd cheering]
-[groans]

510
00:22:16,935 --> 00:22:19,271
-[Vic] Lee again gets caught.
-[Femi groans]

511
00:22:19,338 --> 00:22:20,339
[Vic] Oh!

512
00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:23,041
[Booker] God, man!

513
00:22:23,108 --> 00:22:25,410
Devastating shoulder breaker.

514
00:22:25,477 --> 00:22:28,313
[crowd cheering]

515
00:22:28,380 --> 00:22:32,150
[Vic] And Oba Femi
has had a counter for everything,

516
00:22:32,217 --> 00:22:34,386
and it's been because of pure,

517
00:22:34,453 --> 00:22:36,488
unbridled power.

518
00:22:36,555 --> 00:22:38,290
[ref] Three!

519
00:22:39,524 --> 00:22:42,694
[Vic] I'm at a loss for Wes Lee right now.

520
00:22:42,761 --> 00:22:46,164
Because this man
just keeps coming and coming.

521
00:22:46,231 --> 00:22:47,099
He won't stop.

522
00:22:47,165 --> 00:22:48,900
Double stomp to the spine.

523
00:22:48,967 --> 00:22:50,202
But look at Oba Femi.

524
00:22:50,268 --> 00:22:52,070
Same can be said for the champion.

525
00:22:52,137 --> 00:22:55,040
-[Booker] Lee is fighting like--
-[Vic] Hit him again!

526
00:22:55,107 --> 00:22:57,509
-[Booker] It's one shot. Oh no!
-[Vic] Kardiak!

527
00:22:57,576 --> 00:22:59,611
[Booker] Looks like his back gave way.

528
00:22:59,678 --> 00:23:00,779
[thud]

529
00:23:00,846 --> 00:23:03,315
[Vic] If it didn't then,
he's got to stay in it,

530
00:23:03,381 --> 00:23:04,616
right to the body.

531
00:23:05,484 --> 00:23:07,419
This is that moment we talked about,

532
00:23:07,486 --> 00:23:09,888
for Wes Lee, swinging for the fences.

533
00:23:09,955 --> 00:23:11,089
[crowd cheering]

534
00:23:11,156 --> 00:23:14,459
[Vic] Looking for that Kardiak Kick
for the second time.

535
00:23:14,526 --> 00:23:15,894
Got caught one more time,

536
00:23:15,961 --> 00:23:19,297
and then, again, just gets obliterated.

537
00:23:19,364 --> 00:23:20,899
[Booker] Man!

538
00:23:20,966 --> 00:23:22,634
[crowd cheering]

539
00:23:22,701 --> 00:23:24,603
[Vic] I don't know how Oba Femi

540
00:23:24,669 --> 00:23:26,338
still has this sort of strength

541
00:23:26,405 --> 00:23:27,506
in his body.

542
00:23:27,572 --> 00:23:30,475
[crowd cheering]

543
00:23:30,542 --> 00:23:34,312
[Booker] Looks like he's liking this, Vic.
Look like he's loving this.

544
00:23:34,379 --> 00:23:36,214
-[Booker] Oh!
-[Vic] Oh, wow!

545
00:23:36,281 --> 00:23:39,484
-[Vic] Femi just crushed the spirit--
-[bell ringing]

546
00:23:39,551 --> 00:23:42,587
[Vic] And the soul of Wes Lee.

547
00:23:42,654 --> 00:23:43,822
[Oba Femi's music]

548
00:23:43,889 --> 00:23:47,492
[male announcer 1] Here is your winner,
and still,

549
00:23:47,559 --> 00:23:51,196
the NXT North American Champion,

550
00:23:51,763 --> 00:23:56,668
Oba Femi!

551
00:23:56,735 --> 00:24:00,672
[Vic] The champion knows
that he was in for a fight tonight.

552
00:24:03,608 --> 00:24:06,211
Oba Femi and Wes Lee

553
00:24:06,278 --> 00:24:07,846
brought their A-game here.

554
00:24:07,913 --> 00:24:09,581
What a way

555
00:24:09,648 --> 00:24:12,350
to kick off NXT Heatwave tonight.

556
00:24:12,417 --> 00:24:15,086
[music continues]

557
00:24:20,325 --> 00:24:24,029
Back to some of the action.
This was the best opportunity

558
00:24:24,095 --> 00:24:25,197
for Wes Lee.

559
00:24:25,263 --> 00:24:26,798
That Kardiak Kick connected.

560
00:24:26,865 --> 00:24:29,367
I don't necessarily know
if he got 100% of it,

561
00:24:29,434 --> 00:24:30,502
if it was flushed,

562
00:24:30,569 --> 00:24:32,337
but right here, we both thought

563
00:24:32,404 --> 00:24:34,239
that Wes Lee hit that big splash,

564
00:24:34,306 --> 00:24:38,210
but somehow, the monster
that is our North American Champion

565
00:24:38,276 --> 00:24:41,279
was able to catch Lee,
and then would catch him one more time

566
00:24:41,346 --> 00:24:44,783
and bam!
That Papa Shango esque shoulder breaker,

567
00:24:44,850 --> 00:24:46,184
right here in front of us,

568
00:24:46,251 --> 00:24:47,686
and for the second time,

569
00:24:47,752 --> 00:24:50,455
just tossing another human being,

570
00:24:50,522 --> 00:24:52,424
like a shot put at Alabama.

571
00:24:52,491 --> 00:24:56,962
Not to be outgunned
with that fall from grace powerbomb.

572
00:24:57,028 --> 00:25:00,532
-And Oba Femi would retain.
-[bell ringing]

573
00:25:00,599 --> 00:25:03,034
[Vic] There's two things
that I want to bring up.

574
00:25:03,101 --> 00:25:06,605
First, what is next for Wes Lee?

575
00:25:07,439 --> 00:25:10,408
And who, if anyone,

576
00:25:10,475 --> 00:25:14,813
-[Vic] can conquer Oba Femi?
-[Femi] This time, I am champion.

577
00:25:14,880 --> 00:25:17,215
This time, I'm victorious.

578
00:25:17,282 --> 00:25:18,850
This night!

579
00:25:21,586 --> 00:25:23,922
[music continues]

580
00:25:25,690 --> 00:25:28,360
-[Oba Femi's music ends]
-[salsa music starts]

581
00:25:28,426 --> 00:25:30,662
[Vic] And she is,
of course, very confident,

582
00:25:30,729 --> 00:25:33,198
but this week,
we saw her being very emotional,

583
00:25:33,265 --> 00:25:36,534
as she heads
into tonight's Championship Showdown

584
00:25:36,601 --> 00:25:39,538
against our NXT Women's Champion,

585
00:25:39,604 --> 00:25:41,573
the prodigy, who doesn't care

586
00:25:41,640 --> 00:25:43,708
about Lola's story or journey.

587
00:25:43,775 --> 00:25:45,477
She wants to prove once again,

588
00:25:45,543 --> 00:25:48,346
that no one is on her level.

589
00:25:49,447 --> 00:25:50,982
On the topic of championships,

590
00:25:51,049 --> 00:25:52,584
from the Women's title

591
00:25:52,651 --> 00:25:54,986
to the Women's North American
Championship,

592
00:25:55,053 --> 00:25:57,589
who will stand out here tonight?

593
00:25:57,656 --> 00:26:00,525
Will it be the champion, Kelani Jordan,

594
00:26:00,592 --> 00:26:03,695
or will it be the challenger, Sol Ruca?

595
00:26:05,096 --> 00:26:07,198
[salsa music ends]

596
00:26:08,366 --> 00:26:09,467
[tense music starts]

597
00:26:09,534 --> 00:26:10,802
[Booker] So close,

598
00:26:10,869 --> 00:26:13,238
but still gets so far away,

599
00:26:13,305 --> 00:26:14,839
you got to do it!

600
00:26:14,906 --> 00:26:17,709
[Jordan] All my life,
I wanted my name in record books.

601
00:26:17,776 --> 00:26:21,613
But to be written on those pages,
I had to work like a champion.

602
00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:23,548
-[Vic] She did it!
-[bell ringing]

603
00:26:23,615 --> 00:26:26,117
Kelani Jordan has made history,

604
00:26:26,184 --> 00:26:31,089
as the first Women's North American
Champion.

605
00:26:32,924 --> 00:26:34,592
[tense music ends]

606
00:26:35,327 --> 00:26:37,829
[Jordan] All I know is structure.

607
00:26:37,896 --> 00:26:39,698
[female announcer 1] From Boynton Beach--

608
00:26:39,764 --> 00:26:43,468
-[Jordan] A one-track mind, but--
-[female announcer 1] Kelani Jordan!

609
00:26:43,535 --> 00:26:45,103
It's produced results.

610
00:26:45,170 --> 00:26:48,673
Five-time junior Olympic
national qualifier,

611
00:26:48,740 --> 00:26:51,142
second overall in the nation on floor,

612
00:26:51,209 --> 00:26:54,012
full ride scholarship
to Michigan State University,

613
00:26:54,079 --> 00:26:56,881
three-time MVP, three-time team captain,

614
00:26:56,948 --> 00:26:59,751
nominee for NCAA athlete of the year.

615
00:26:59,818 --> 00:27:00,952
And now,

616
00:27:01,019 --> 00:27:01,987
[sighs]

617
00:27:02,053 --> 00:27:05,690
the first-ever
Women's North American Champion.

618
00:27:05,757 --> 00:27:08,126
Pressure comes with being a champion,

619
00:27:08,193 --> 00:27:09,928
especially being the first.

620
00:27:09,995 --> 00:27:13,331
It's up to me
to create the importance for this title.

621
00:27:13,999 --> 00:27:17,669
But no one is going
to defend this title like Lani.

622
00:27:25,377 --> 00:27:26,211
Being a gymnast,

623
00:27:26,277 --> 00:27:28,813
no accolade can be taken away from me,

624
00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:30,482
but title can be.

625
00:27:32,817 --> 00:27:35,620
Sol Ruca has everything to be a champion.

626
00:27:35,687 --> 00:27:38,590
She's an unparalleled athlete,
who deserves this match.

627
00:27:38,657 --> 00:27:40,291
But, like Michael Jordan says,

628
00:27:40,358 --> 00:27:42,293
"Some people want it to happen.

629
00:27:42,360 --> 00:27:45,730
Some wish it would happen
and others make it happen."

630
00:27:45,797 --> 00:27:47,732
And at NXT Heatwave,

631
00:27:47,799 --> 00:27:49,968
Lani's going to make it happen.

632
00:27:50,035 --> 00:27:52,837
[crowd cheering]

633
00:27:54,305 --> 00:27:56,641
[motivational music starts]

634
00:28:02,580 --> 00:28:05,350
[Ruca] Growing up,
I was never one to play by the rules.

635
00:28:05,417 --> 00:28:08,453
And in gymnastics,
there are a lot of those.

636
00:28:09,754 --> 00:28:12,223
Instead, I taught myself
almost everything I know

637
00:28:12,290 --> 00:28:15,060
with my own beam, mat, and bars.

638
00:28:15,593 --> 00:28:17,429
I went to the beach and the park,

639
00:28:17,495 --> 00:28:19,664
and I taught myself
through trial and error.

640
00:28:23,334 --> 00:28:25,837
I jumped into competing
in acrobatics and tumbling,

641
00:28:25,904 --> 00:28:28,373
accepted a scholarship
to the University of Oregon,

642
00:28:28,440 --> 00:28:31,643
where I was a multi-acrobatic event
national champion.

643
00:28:33,478 --> 00:28:34,779
Fast forward to today,

644
00:28:34,846 --> 00:28:36,247
my thirst for adrenaline

645
00:28:36,314 --> 00:28:37,415
and ability to adapt,

646
00:28:38,049 --> 00:28:41,786
quickly landed me in my new home,
right here in NXT.

647
00:28:43,054 --> 00:28:46,424
I was in my element
at that ladder match in battleground.

648
00:28:47,025 --> 00:28:48,059
[Vic] Oh!

649
00:28:48,126 --> 00:28:50,829
-[Vic] Sol snatcher.
-[Booker] Oh.

650
00:28:51,396 --> 00:28:52,964
[Ruca] I'm not afraid to admit,

651
00:28:53,031 --> 00:28:55,433
I came up short
to the better woman that night.

652
00:28:56,334 --> 00:28:58,269
[Vic] Jordan has made history!

653
00:28:58,336 --> 00:29:00,872
-Unbelievable!
-[bell ringing]

654
00:29:00,939 --> 00:29:02,507
[Ruca] Like LeBron James says,

655
00:29:02,574 --> 00:29:04,075
"You can't be afraid to fail,

656
00:29:04,142 --> 00:29:06,344
it's the only way you succeed."

657
00:29:07,312 --> 00:29:09,481
While everyone else might talk the talk,

658
00:29:10,014 --> 00:29:12,083
for what they think is their opportunity,

659
00:29:12,917 --> 00:29:14,986
I simply focus on walking the walk.

660
00:29:16,888 --> 00:29:19,190
And snatching a few souls on the way.

661
00:29:21,159 --> 00:29:22,560
Make no mistake.

662
00:29:22,627 --> 00:29:24,963
I'm bringing the heat to Toronto

663
00:29:25,029 --> 00:29:26,164
and leaving

664
00:29:26,231 --> 00:29:29,901
as the NXT Women's
North American Champion.

665
00:29:31,770 --> 00:29:33,138
[motivational music ends]

666
00:29:37,709 --> 00:29:39,577
[Sol Ruca's music starts]

667
00:29:50,855 --> 00:29:52,023
[bell ringing]

668
00:29:52,090 --> 00:29:55,326
[male announcer 1] The following contest,
scheduled for one fall,

669
00:29:55,393 --> 00:29:57,562
is for the NXT

670
00:29:57,629 --> 00:30:03,535
Women's North American Championship.

671
00:30:04,235 --> 00:30:06,538
Introducing first,

672
00:30:06,604 --> 00:30:11,342
Sol Ruca!

673
00:30:11,843 --> 00:30:13,344
[Vic] After what we witnessed

674
00:30:13,411 --> 00:30:16,781
in the opening contest tonight,
and what we're about to witness

675
00:30:16,848 --> 00:30:18,817
in moments and throughout the evening,

676
00:30:18,883 --> 00:30:20,485
I feel funny asking this, but…

677
00:30:21,319 --> 00:30:24,055
Do you agree that this match
has all the makings

678
00:30:24,122 --> 00:30:25,423
to steal the show,

679
00:30:25,490 --> 00:30:26,958
based on the athleticism

680
00:30:27,025 --> 00:30:28,226
of these two women,

681
00:30:28,293 --> 00:30:30,428
that are about to show up and show out?

682
00:30:30,495 --> 00:30:33,598
[Booker] No doubt. The world is about
to see something special.

683
00:30:33,665 --> 00:30:37,001
Two of the brightest stars here in NXT,

684
00:30:37,068 --> 00:30:39,437
and both of them, Ruca and Jordan,

685
00:30:39,504 --> 00:30:41,739
-come from the same cloth, Vic.
-[music ends]

686
00:30:41,806 --> 00:30:43,975
[Kelani Jordan's music starts]

687
00:30:54,686 --> 00:30:56,020
[Jordan] Yes, yes.

688
00:30:56,087 --> 00:30:57,722
[male announcer 1] Her opponent,

689
00:30:57,789 --> 00:31:03,795
she is the NXT Women's
North American Champion,

690
00:31:04,362 --> 00:31:09,667
Kelani Jordan!

691
00:31:09,734 --> 00:31:13,871
[Vic] Is the champion putting
too much pressure on herself?

692
00:31:13,938 --> 00:31:16,007
And I bring that up to you, Booker,

693
00:31:16,074 --> 00:31:18,576
because after winning that title

694
00:31:19,244 --> 00:31:22,213
in a ladder match
in Vegas at Battleground,

695
00:31:22,280 --> 00:31:24,082
she said that the prestige

696
00:31:24,148 --> 00:31:28,253
of the Women's North American Championship
starts with her.

697
00:31:28,319 --> 00:31:30,555
[Booker] They always say
you're not champion

698
00:31:30,622 --> 00:31:32,957
until you defend at least one.

699
00:31:33,024 --> 00:31:34,759
Her first defense

700
00:31:34,826 --> 00:31:36,227
against Michin,

701
00:31:36,294 --> 00:31:37,595
what a competitor,

702
00:31:37,662 --> 00:31:39,898
she went out there and did the damn thing.

703
00:31:39,964 --> 00:31:43,201
Tonight, she's got Sol Ruca.

704
00:31:43,268 --> 00:31:46,304
Oh, who you got your money on, man?

705
00:31:46,371 --> 00:31:48,640
-Who you got your money on?
-[Vic] It's tough,

706
00:31:48,706 --> 00:31:51,743
but I'm not going
to make any sort of outlandish…

707
00:31:53,845 --> 00:31:56,381
cases for myself
for who would this matchup.

708
00:31:56,447 --> 00:32:01,185
-A prediction. That is what you are for.
-[Booker] Prognostication.

709
00:32:01,252 --> 00:32:03,588
-Prognostication.
-[Vic] Two Scrabble words,

710
00:32:03,655 --> 00:32:05,623
-you've used on me.
-[Booker laughs]

711
00:32:05,690 --> 00:32:08,526
[Vic] It's about the Women's
North American Championship.

712
00:32:08,593 --> 00:32:11,162
And the champion less
than two years in the ring.

713
00:32:11,229 --> 00:32:12,397
[bell ringing]

714
00:32:12,463 --> 00:32:13,598
Both these women

715
00:32:13,665 --> 00:32:15,700
have adapted their athleticism

716
00:32:15,767 --> 00:32:17,602
to the ring with absolute ease.

717
00:32:17,669 --> 00:32:20,972
[Booker] I really believe Sol Ruca
could be in the same place

718
00:32:21,039 --> 00:32:23,675
as Kelani Jordan,
if it wasn't for that setback,

719
00:32:23,741 --> 00:32:25,476
that left-knee injury.

720
00:32:25,543 --> 00:32:26,511
But I tell you,

721
00:32:26,577 --> 00:32:28,346
she could right all wrongs

722
00:32:28,413 --> 00:32:29,280
here tonight,

723
00:32:29,347 --> 00:32:31,549
in old Canada, man.

724
00:32:31,616 --> 00:32:34,585
[Vic] Speaking of tonight,
NXT Heatwave trending number one,

725
00:32:34,652 --> 00:32:36,955
and for good reason
after the opening matchup,

726
00:32:37,021 --> 00:32:40,591
carrying it to this matchup.
Again, all five NXT championships,

727
00:32:40,658 --> 00:32:44,128
-on the line here tonight. And Sol Ruca,
-[Booker] Wow!

728
00:32:44,195 --> 00:32:45,763
[Vic] this is that athleticism,

729
00:32:45,830 --> 00:32:47,498
this is that athletic background,

730
00:32:47,565 --> 00:32:51,436
-that both of these two women have.
-[Booker] Cut from the same cloth.

731
00:32:51,502 --> 00:32:55,206
We're going to see a lot of action
in this match, here tonight.

732
00:32:55,273 --> 00:32:59,177
[Vic] Starting this fall, Ruca and Jordan
will be Big Ten rivals of sorts.

733
00:32:59,243 --> 00:33:00,478
Ruca attended Oregon,

734
00:33:00,545 --> 00:33:04,015
Kelani, Michigan state,
there's a lot of of competitive spirit

735
00:33:04,082 --> 00:33:06,017
between these two, who are friends

736
00:33:06,084 --> 00:33:07,018
on the outside.

737
00:33:07,085 --> 00:33:09,954
and they're bringing
that friendly competition to Toronto.

738
00:33:10,021 --> 00:33:12,657
[Booker] I got to say a whole lot
about Kelani Jordan,

739
00:33:12,724 --> 00:33:16,461
wanting to compete at the highest level.
You've got to test yourself.

740
00:33:16,527 --> 00:33:18,896
You've got to know exactly
how good you are.

741
00:33:18,963 --> 00:33:21,699
We're going to find out tonight.
Wow, beautiful!

742
00:33:21,766 --> 00:33:22,633
[Vic] And, nice!

743
00:33:22,700 --> 00:33:26,537
High crossbody came up a bit short,
but still was able to take Ruca down.

744
00:33:26,604 --> 00:33:28,840
Kelani Jordan trying
to take full advantage,

745
00:33:28,906 --> 00:33:31,542
but Ruca able to get out.
A bit of a standoff

746
00:33:31,609 --> 00:33:34,312
for just one moment,
and again, a stalemate,

747
00:33:34,379 --> 00:33:37,215
-here in this matchup.
-[Booker] Oh…

748
00:33:37,281 --> 00:33:39,417
Yeah, I love it, man!

749
00:33:39,484 --> 00:33:42,053
[Vic] The Women's
North American Championship

750
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:44,222
will be defended at a premium live event.

751
00:33:44,288 --> 00:33:45,189
And these two,

752
00:33:45,723 --> 00:33:48,025
competed against each other twice,

753
00:33:48,092 --> 00:33:50,995
but they've never competed
against each one-on-one.

754
00:33:51,062 --> 00:33:53,965
[Booker] I don't think that's going
to help or hurt them.

755
00:33:54,032 --> 00:33:55,833
I don't think they saw this coming,

756
00:33:55,900 --> 00:33:58,302
especially this soon, as well as

757
00:33:58,369 --> 00:34:00,171
for the North American Championship.

758
00:34:00,238 --> 00:34:01,272
[Vic] Good point.

759
00:34:01,339 --> 00:34:03,007
Jordan, oh, nice splits,

760
00:34:03,074 --> 00:34:04,942
back up, looking for the hip-toss.

761
00:34:05,009 --> 00:34:07,211
Ruca able to land.
She tries to come back in,

762
00:34:07,278 --> 00:34:08,479
X-Factor was countered

763
00:34:08,546 --> 00:34:09,747
with a unique splash.

764
00:34:09,814 --> 00:34:11,082
A quick kick-out at one.

765
00:34:11,149 --> 00:34:13,751
Take a look
at what we're seeing here tonight

766
00:34:13,818 --> 00:34:14,719
between these two.

767
00:34:14,786 --> 00:34:15,987
Round and round you go.

768
00:34:16,054 --> 00:34:18,389
Kelani gets pulled right back in.
Hip-toss.

769
00:34:18,456 --> 00:34:20,792
This time she counters into a backslide,

770
00:34:20,858 --> 00:34:22,994
shoulders down, and a near fall.

771
00:34:23,060 --> 00:34:25,329
[Booker] The champion
has been looking forward

772
00:34:25,396 --> 00:34:26,831
to this moment here tonight.

773
00:34:26,898 --> 00:34:28,966
-[Booker] Oh, man!
-[Vic] Second time,

774
00:34:29,033 --> 00:34:30,635
[Vic] X-Factor found its spot.

775
00:34:30,701 --> 00:34:33,037
Will it bring a title
around the waist of Ruca?

776
00:34:33,104 --> 00:34:36,140
-Kick-out by Kelani.
-[Booker] Caught, slipping for a second.

777
00:34:36,207 --> 00:34:37,241
[crowd cheering]

778
00:34:37,308 --> 00:34:38,409
[thud]

779
00:34:39,377 --> 00:34:41,446
[crowd cheering]

780
00:34:41,512 --> 00:34:44,415
[Vic] Take another look at how impressive
these women are.

781
00:34:44,482 --> 00:34:45,616
Some of the action

782
00:34:45,683 --> 00:34:46,918
throughout this matchup.

783
00:34:46,984 --> 00:34:49,187
Kelani Jordan has welcomed the pressure

784
00:34:49,253 --> 00:34:50,855
with being the first champion.

785
00:34:50,922 --> 00:34:53,191
But take a look at Sol Ruca right now.

786
00:34:53,257 --> 00:34:54,725
We talk about the athleticism

787
00:34:54,792 --> 00:34:57,495
in this background,
everything they've done in college.

788
00:34:57,562 --> 00:34:59,230
You've got to learn what it takes

789
00:34:59,297 --> 00:35:02,700
to get inside the squared circle.
And both have learned very fast.

790
00:35:02,767 --> 00:35:03,968
And to prove that point,

791
00:35:04,035 --> 00:35:05,703
take a look at what Ruca is doing

792
00:35:05,770 --> 00:35:06,671
to Kelani Jordan.

793
00:35:06,737 --> 00:35:10,475
[Booker] Sol Ruca just had Kelani Jordan
wrapped up like a pretzel,

794
00:35:10,541 --> 00:35:12,210
but it wasn't for a tap out

795
00:35:12,276 --> 00:35:13,444
or anything like that--

796
00:35:13,511 --> 00:35:16,147
-[Vic] She's looking for the tap.
-[Booker] Oh!

797
00:35:16,214 --> 00:35:19,550
-[Booker] Surfboard! Surfboard!
-[Vic] Bending Kalani's back!

798
00:35:19,617 --> 00:35:21,319
[Vic] We know Sol Ruca is at home,

799
00:35:21,385 --> 00:35:24,255
on a surfboard,
and she's looking for the submission.

800
00:35:24,322 --> 00:35:25,490
If Jordan quits,

801
00:35:25,556 --> 00:35:28,092
we're going to crown
a new champion here tonight.

802
00:35:28,159 --> 00:35:31,329
-The referee is in great position. Ooh!
-[thud]

803
00:35:31,395 --> 00:35:32,997
A nasty landing for Jordan.

804
00:35:33,064 --> 00:35:35,766
Ruca realized she wasn't going
to get the submission,

805
00:35:35,833 --> 00:35:36,934
so why continue?

806
00:35:37,001 --> 00:35:39,504
She wants to just punish.
She's also here, Booker.

807
00:35:39,570 --> 00:35:42,240
How great friends they are,
they train together.

808
00:35:42,306 --> 00:35:44,008
They want to win.

809
00:35:44,075 --> 00:35:45,910
[Booker] It's about the championship.

810
00:35:45,977 --> 00:35:48,112
Sol Ruca wants that championship,

811
00:35:48,179 --> 00:35:50,548
just as bad as Kelani Jordan

812
00:35:50,615 --> 00:35:52,150
wants to hold on to it.

813
00:35:52,683 --> 00:35:55,586
[Vic] Ruca became the number one
defeating Arianna Grace.

814
00:35:55,653 --> 00:35:57,822
So we saw win alongside Karmen Petrovic--

815
00:35:57,889 --> 00:35:59,156
[Booker] There it is!

816
00:35:59,223 --> 00:36:00,758
[Vic] To Heatwave earlier.

817
00:36:00,825 --> 00:36:02,760
And now, it's Jordan coming right back

818
00:36:02,827 --> 00:36:03,995
into this matchup.

819
00:36:04,061 --> 00:36:07,498
-Takedown with a hurricanrana of Ruca.
-[Booker] Beautiful step up.

820
00:36:08,266 --> 00:36:10,701
[Vic] I keep coming back to it,

821
00:36:10,768 --> 00:36:12,637
as Jordan looking to take a big risk!

822
00:36:12,703 --> 00:36:14,805
-All the way to the outside.
-[Booker] Man!

823
00:36:14,872 --> 00:36:16,507
[Vic] These women are not afraid

824
00:36:16,574 --> 00:36:18,242
to take this sort of risks.

825
00:36:18,309 --> 00:36:21,379
And you can see the NXT Universe
rising to their feet.

826
00:36:21,445 --> 00:36:24,815
Again, Booker, you've got two hall
of fame rings, you've seen it all

827
00:36:24,882 --> 00:36:27,752
in three decades of experience,
you've won titles.

828
00:36:27,818 --> 00:36:29,854
Have you ever seen two,

829
00:36:29,921 --> 00:36:32,456
men or women,
have you ever seen two superstars

830
00:36:32,523 --> 00:36:37,328
-take to the ring as fast as they have?
-[Booker] No. Take this fast.

831
00:36:37,395 --> 00:36:39,297
-Whoa!
-[Vic] Into the cover to retain,

832
00:36:39,363 --> 00:36:42,266
-center of the ring.
-[Booker] They're young in the game.

833
00:36:42,333 --> 00:36:44,101
Like I said, the experience factor,

834
00:36:44,168 --> 00:36:46,370
you can tell that they've been steady,

835
00:36:46,437 --> 00:36:48,539
especially Kelani Jordan.

836
00:36:48,606 --> 00:36:51,275
She's stepped her game
up here tonight, Vic.

837
00:36:51,342 --> 00:36:52,643
[Vic] Bragging over Ruca.

838
00:36:52,710 --> 00:36:55,880
This is maybe that patented
split-legged moonsault.

839
00:36:55,947 --> 00:36:57,148
[crowd cheering]

840
00:36:57,748 --> 00:36:58,849
-[Vic] Oh!
-[crowd] Oh!

841
00:36:58,916 --> 00:37:00,384
[Booker] Ran into that one.

842
00:37:01,052 --> 00:37:02,420
[crowd cheering]

843
00:37:02,486 --> 00:37:04,288
[Vic] They're coming back. Ruca,

844
00:37:04,355 --> 00:37:05,756
from the bottom rope,

845
00:37:05,823 --> 00:37:06,924
springboarding in.

846
00:37:06,991 --> 00:37:08,593
From the middle rope this time,

847
00:37:08,659 --> 00:37:11,062
-catching Kelani.
-[Booker] You can tell Jordan

848
00:37:11,128 --> 00:37:13,531
is trying to stay
in the middle of that circle,

849
00:37:13,598 --> 00:37:16,033
trying to stay away from those ropes, Vic.

850
00:37:16,100 --> 00:37:17,935
[crowd cheering]

851
00:37:18,002 --> 00:37:19,170
[crowd whistling]

852
00:37:19,237 --> 00:37:21,839
[Vic] Kelani, she's looking around
for anything

853
00:37:21,906 --> 00:37:22,773
to grab onto,

854
00:37:22,840 --> 00:37:25,977
to pull herself back to her feet.
Deep breath from Sol!

855
00:37:26,043 --> 00:37:28,412
-[Booker] Whoa!
-[Vic] What do you call that?

856
00:37:28,479 --> 00:37:30,214
Whatever it was, it was effective,

857
00:37:30,281 --> 00:37:32,216
and it almost brought a title

858
00:37:32,283 --> 00:37:33,551
to Sol Ruca.

859
00:37:34,252 --> 00:37:35,586
Almost putting

860
00:37:35,653 --> 00:37:37,989
the Women's North American Championship

861
00:37:38,055 --> 00:37:39,390
around her waist.

862
00:37:39,457 --> 00:37:41,759
Take a look again,

863
00:37:41,826 --> 00:37:43,394
at, I mean, what are we seeing

864
00:37:43,461 --> 00:37:45,796
between these two?
They could steal the show.

865
00:37:45,863 --> 00:37:48,266
[Booker] Sol Ruca is just a year
in the game,

866
00:37:48,332 --> 00:37:49,800
and she's so experienced.

867
00:37:49,867 --> 00:37:52,203
Her knowledge is so vast

868
00:37:52,270 --> 00:37:54,272
for somebody just a year in the game.

869
00:37:54,972 --> 00:37:57,875
[Vic] The same can be said
for Kelani, who's fighting back.

870
00:37:57,942 --> 00:38:01,712
And in a short time, we've seen
why we talk about NXT.

871
00:38:01,779 --> 00:38:03,281
The future is bright,

872
00:38:03,347 --> 00:38:04,548
the future is here,

873
00:38:04,615 --> 00:38:06,083
and these two are showcasing

874
00:38:06,150 --> 00:38:08,653
why the best women's division
in all of wrestling

875
00:38:08,719 --> 00:38:10,955
is on Tuesday nights on NXT.

876
00:38:11,022 --> 00:38:12,256
And Kelani Jordan now,

877
00:38:12,323 --> 00:38:15,026
can't look in the eyes of Sol Ruca
and see a friend.

878
00:38:15,092 --> 00:38:19,530
She's got to look in the eyes of Ruca
and see someone trying to take her title.

879
00:38:19,597 --> 00:38:23,234
[Booker] You're talking about the eyes.
Look at the eyes of Jordan.

880
00:38:23,301 --> 00:38:24,402
-She's--
-[Vic] Kelani.

881
00:38:24,468 --> 00:38:26,137
-[Booker] Oh!
-[Vic] Poison!

882
00:38:26,203 --> 00:38:27,872
-[Booker] Wow.
-[Vic] Poison Rana!

883
00:38:27,938 --> 00:38:29,974
[crowd cheering and clapping]

884
00:38:33,644 --> 00:38:36,480
[Vic] And the NXT Universe,
showing their love

885
00:38:36,547 --> 00:38:37,815
for these two.

886
00:38:41,285 --> 00:38:42,186
[ref] [indistinct]

887
00:38:42,253 --> 00:38:44,021
[Vic] What is Jordan thinking?

888
00:38:44,088 --> 00:38:45,923
Moonsault to the outside!

889
00:38:46,957 --> 00:38:50,294
We talk a lot about NXT
having such a rich history

890
00:38:50,361 --> 00:38:51,429
here in Canada.

891
00:38:51,495 --> 00:38:53,998
Well, it is continuing here tonight,

892
00:38:54,065 --> 00:38:56,367
and it's continuing right now.

893
00:38:56,434 --> 00:39:00,771
[crowd] NXT! NXT! NXT!

894
00:39:01,672 --> 00:39:03,174
[Jordan groans]

895
00:39:03,240 --> 00:39:04,909
[Vic] Jordan feeling the effects

896
00:39:04,975 --> 00:39:08,379
and you can hear
the official starting his count

897
00:39:08,446 --> 00:39:11,248
as the NXT Universe cheer in Toronto.

898
00:39:11,315 --> 00:39:15,152
Capping off Money in the Bank weekend,
NXT Women's North American Championship

899
00:39:15,219 --> 00:39:16,087
is on the line.

900
00:39:16,153 --> 00:39:17,855
The referee continues his count,

901
00:39:17,922 --> 00:39:19,523
as Kelani Jordan…

902
00:39:20,091 --> 00:39:21,325
[ref] Seven!

903
00:39:21,392 --> 00:39:23,027
[Vic] got back in the ring.

904
00:39:23,094 --> 00:39:24,628
You've got to think right now

905
00:39:24,695 --> 00:39:27,665
for Kelani Jordan,
she doesn't want to win with a count out,

906
00:39:27,732 --> 00:39:29,834
she wants to win
inside the squared circle.

907
00:39:29,900 --> 00:39:33,137
She wants
to earn this championship defense.

908
00:39:33,204 --> 00:39:35,039
[Booker] That wasn't a smart move.

909
00:39:35,106 --> 00:39:37,908
-You win by any means necessary.
-[crowd] Oh!

910
00:39:37,975 --> 00:39:40,745
[Booker] You don't think like that
when you're champion.

911
00:39:40,811 --> 00:39:42,513
-Come on, man.
-[Vic] To your point

912
00:39:42,580 --> 00:39:44,749
this could come back to hurt Kelani,

913
00:39:44,815 --> 00:39:48,119
right now, as Sol Ruca
has turned this matchup around.

914
00:39:48,185 --> 00:39:49,787
-What's Ruca thinking?
-[groans]

915
00:39:49,854 --> 00:39:52,022
[Vic] Sol answering right back.

916
00:39:52,089 --> 00:39:54,925
[crowd cheering]

917
00:39:54,992 --> 00:39:57,762
-[ref] Three!
-[Vic] I thought I was at a loss for words

918
00:39:57,828 --> 00:39:59,764
after the opening contest.

919
00:39:59,830 --> 00:40:01,065
[ref] Four!

920
00:40:01,132 --> 00:40:03,734
[crowd chanting]

921
00:40:04,602 --> 00:40:05,569
[ref] Five!

922
00:40:05,636 --> 00:40:07,104
[Vic] Referee is at five,

923
00:40:07,171 --> 00:40:09,240
both women just starting to move.

924
00:40:09,306 --> 00:40:11,008
And as we mentioned a second ago,

925
00:40:11,075 --> 00:40:13,377
these women don't want this
to end this way.

926
00:40:13,444 --> 00:40:15,846
-[Booker] This match could be over.
-[Vic] Seven!

927
00:40:15,913 --> 00:40:17,882
[Booker] This match could be over now.

928
00:40:17,948 --> 00:40:20,017
-I don't know--
-[Vic] Referee's at eight.

929
00:40:20,084 --> 00:40:23,120
-[Booker] What Jordan was thinking.
-[Vic] Referee's at nine.

930
00:40:23,187 --> 00:40:25,055
-[Vic] Almost at ten--
-[Booker] Whoa!

931
00:40:25,122 --> 00:40:27,591
[Vic] And both women
just breaking the count,

932
00:40:27,658 --> 00:40:29,927
and this is going to continue.

933
00:40:29,994 --> 00:40:31,162
[crowd cheering]

934
00:40:31,228 --> 00:40:36,066
[Booker] Really doing things, for Jordan.
She's going to learn in the long run

935
00:40:36,133 --> 00:40:38,435
-you don't do things like that.
-[Ruca groans]

936
00:40:38,502 --> 00:40:41,405
[Vic] You can say that,
but also for Jordan, maybe,

937
00:40:41,472 --> 00:40:44,775
she's little bit ahead of her time.
Maybe she's into the future.

938
00:40:44,842 --> 00:40:48,479
Maybe she's thinking two steps ahead.
Rolling through and a near fall.

939
00:40:49,079 --> 00:40:51,449
Maybe she's trying
to silence the doubters.

940
00:40:51,515 --> 00:40:54,118
Another cover, shoulders down.
Ruca with a counter.

941
00:40:54,185 --> 00:40:57,021
Nice counter into a cover
and another kick out.

942
00:40:57,087 --> 00:40:59,757
And now both women trying
to jockey for position.

943
00:40:59,824 --> 00:41:01,525
Shoulders down for a half second.

944
00:41:01,592 --> 00:41:04,295
-[Booker] Oh!
-[Vic] Kelani shifts her weight

945
00:41:04,361 --> 00:41:05,329
into another cover.

946
00:41:05,396 --> 00:41:06,964
Shoulders down and a kick out.

947
00:41:07,464 --> 00:41:08,332
[Jordan groans]

948
00:41:08,399 --> 00:41:10,267
[Vic] I can't even keep up with this.

949
00:41:10,334 --> 00:41:13,437
[Booker] No, right now,
Jordan can't keep up with it either.

950
00:41:13,504 --> 00:41:16,440
Oh! That's it!

951
00:41:16,507 --> 00:41:18,175
-[Vic] Powerbomb!
-[Booker] Whoa!

952
00:41:18,242 --> 00:41:19,443
[Vic] No, no, no.

953
00:41:19,510 --> 00:41:21,378
[crowd cheering]

954
00:41:21,445 --> 00:41:24,548
Sol Ruca showcasing that power,

955
00:41:24,615 --> 00:41:27,051
able to counter some of that athleticism.

956
00:41:27,117 --> 00:41:29,820
And Ruca doesn't look caught up
in locker room gossip.

957
00:41:29,887 --> 00:41:31,555
She won't waste her energy.

958
00:41:31,622 --> 00:41:33,491
We've seen her walk out of arguments.

959
00:41:34,091 --> 00:41:36,260
She is focused on this matchup.

960
00:41:36,327 --> 00:41:37,895
Focused on this moment,

961
00:41:37,962 --> 00:41:39,263
as the NXT Universe,

962
00:41:39,330 --> 00:41:41,999
again, rallying these two women.

963
00:41:42,066 --> 00:41:45,769
[crowd] This is awesome! [clapping]

964
00:41:45,836 --> 00:41:48,038
[Vic] Booker, it's hard
to argue with them.

965
00:41:48,105 --> 00:41:51,175
And is Sol Ruca looking
for a half and half

966
00:41:51,242 --> 00:41:54,511
-from the top rope?
-[Booker] No, Ruca's got the right idea,

967
00:41:54,578 --> 00:41:58,015
-by any means necessary.
-[Vic] Wait, Ruca's down!

968
00:41:58,082 --> 00:41:59,450
Look where Kelani's at.

969
00:41:59,517 --> 00:42:01,619
Kelani's at home, up top.

970
00:42:02,987 --> 00:42:05,222
Trying to block out that pain!

971
00:42:05,289 --> 00:42:08,759
Oh, and Ruca just got the knees up

972
00:42:08,826 --> 00:42:10,895
-at the last moment.
-[Jordan groans]

973
00:42:12,062 --> 00:42:13,264
[Jordan groans]

974
00:42:13,330 --> 00:42:14,431
[crowd cheering]

975
00:42:14,498 --> 00:42:17,301
[Vic] What a matchup here tonight,

976
00:42:18,736 --> 00:42:24,008
for the NXT
Women's North American Championship.

977
00:42:24,074 --> 00:42:25,876
-Ruca, Jordan,
-[Booker] Oh…

978
00:42:25,943 --> 00:42:27,778
[Vic] looking for that Sol Snatcher.

979
00:42:27,845 --> 00:42:29,914
Instead, it was Sol who got smashed.

980
00:42:29,980 --> 00:42:32,082
-[ref] Four…
-[Vic] Into the cover,

981
00:42:32,149 --> 00:42:32,983
and a kick out.

982
00:42:33,617 --> 00:42:35,686
-Again, both these women,
-[Jordan groans]

983
00:42:35,753 --> 00:42:37,755
[Vic] twelve months in the game.

984
00:42:37,821 --> 00:42:39,023
Kelani Jordan,

985
00:42:40,057 --> 00:42:42,192
has been in the main event spotlight,

986
00:42:42,259 --> 00:42:44,762
has become the first-ever champion

987
00:42:44,828 --> 00:42:46,630
of the Women's North American title.

988
00:42:46,697 --> 00:42:50,601
Sol Ruca, as you mentioned earlier,
fought her way back to this position,

989
00:42:50,668 --> 00:42:53,370
earned the number one contendership,
and these two

990
00:42:53,437 --> 00:42:55,272
are bringing it here tonight.

991
00:42:55,339 --> 00:42:58,676
Back up on the shoulders, the champion.
The challenger,

992
00:42:58,742 --> 00:43:00,277
being able to block.

993
00:43:00,344 --> 00:43:02,479
Kelani's looking for that Poison Rana.

994
00:43:02,546 --> 00:43:04,048
Sol Ruca said, "uh-uh."

995
00:43:04,949 --> 00:43:08,819
And a reverse Alabama Slam in Toronto,

996
00:43:08,886 --> 00:43:10,187
into the top turnbuckle.

997
00:43:10,688 --> 00:43:12,056
[man in crowd] [indistinct]

998
00:43:12,122 --> 00:43:13,157
[Vic] No way.

999
00:43:13,223 --> 00:43:14,491
[crowd cheering]

1000
00:43:14,558 --> 00:43:16,226
-[Vic] No way.
-[Booker] Oh, yes!

1001
00:43:16,293 --> 00:43:20,631
[Vic] Kelani better figure something out
and she better figure something out quick.

1002
00:43:20,698 --> 00:43:22,333
[crowd cheering]

1003
00:43:22,399 --> 00:43:25,803
-[wrestlers scream]
-[Vic] These two, teetering.

1004
00:43:25,869 --> 00:43:27,037
[crowd cheering]

1005
00:43:27,104 --> 00:43:29,506
[Vic] Oh, my God!

1006
00:43:29,573 --> 00:43:31,275
A Poison Rana,

1007
00:43:31,342 --> 00:43:34,678
[crowd cheering and clapping]

1008
00:43:34,745 --> 00:43:36,013
from up top.

1009
00:43:36,080 --> 00:43:37,247
[groans]

1010
00:43:37,314 --> 00:43:38,248
Yeah!

1011
00:43:39,550 --> 00:43:42,186
[Vic] This is what you've got to do
to get some fame.

1012
00:43:42,252 --> 00:43:44,655
-[Booker] Capitalize!
-[Vic] One of a kind

1013
00:43:44,722 --> 00:43:46,523
for Kelani Jordan,

1014
00:43:46,590 --> 00:43:48,559
and Kelani stands out,

1015
00:43:48,625 --> 00:43:51,528
-[bell ringing]
-[Vic] And stands tall!

1016
00:43:51,595 --> 00:43:52,763
[Kelani Jordan's music]

1017
00:43:52,830 --> 00:43:54,832
[male announcer 1] Here is your winner,

1018
00:43:54,898 --> 00:44:01,705
and still and still the NXT
Women's North American Champion,

1019
00:44:01,772 --> 00:44:06,677
Kelani Jordan!

1020
00:44:06,744 --> 00:44:10,280
-[Booker] Wow.
-[Vic] Toronto, coming to their feet

1021
00:44:10,347 --> 00:44:11,949
for these two women.

1022
00:44:12,016 --> 00:44:13,617
Unbelievable.

1023
00:44:13,684 --> 00:44:16,687
We said they were not afraid
to take any sort of risks.

1024
00:44:16,754 --> 00:44:19,690
Kelani Jordan pulled it out tonight.

1025
00:44:19,757 --> 00:44:21,825
Take nothing away from Sol Ruca,

1026
00:44:21,892 --> 00:44:24,194
-[bell ringing]
-[Vic] she brought it as well.

1027
00:44:25,195 --> 00:44:26,997
I'm not the general manager,

1028
00:44:27,064 --> 00:44:30,801
but if they want to go to round two,
Book, sign me up.

1029
00:44:30,868 --> 00:44:33,003
[Booker] What a night, what a fight.

1030
00:44:33,070 --> 00:44:34,838
The ladies showed up

1031
00:44:34,905 --> 00:44:36,874
and showed out, Vic.

1032
00:44:36,940 --> 00:44:40,010
[Vic] What a sign of sportsmanship
between these two,

1033
00:44:40,077 --> 00:44:43,147
as Jordan once again shows

1034
00:44:43,213 --> 00:44:45,282
that no one can do it,

1035
00:44:46,250 --> 00:44:47,484
like Lani.

1036
00:44:53,157 --> 00:44:54,958
[indistinct]

1037
00:44:57,194 --> 00:44:59,096
[Jordan's music ends]

1038
00:45:00,064 --> 00:45:02,499
Tyson, Tyriek,

1039
00:45:02,566 --> 00:45:04,635
we seen what you said in social media.

1040
00:45:04,702 --> 00:45:06,103
Do you know where I can't go

1041
00:45:06,170 --> 00:45:07,538
about this new generation?

1042
00:45:07,604 --> 00:45:09,206
The lack of respect they've got

1043
00:45:09,273 --> 00:45:10,874
for those that came before them.

1044
00:45:10,941 --> 00:45:14,044
Lads, I've been doing this
since you two were four years old.

1045
00:45:14,111 --> 00:45:15,579
Yes. It doesn't matter

1046
00:45:15,646 --> 00:45:17,915
about how many YouTube subscribers
you've got.

1047
00:45:17,981 --> 00:45:20,551
See all this trying
to be a social media influencer?

1048
00:45:20,617 --> 00:45:24,421
-What matters is what you do in the ring.
-Nobody cares how high you jump.

1049
00:45:24,488 --> 00:45:26,557
Nobody cares how far you can throw.

1050
00:45:26,623 --> 00:45:28,792
What counts is the experience

1051
00:45:28,859 --> 00:45:32,563
between those ropes,
and we are miles ahead of you.

1052
00:45:32,629 --> 00:45:34,665
You see all those athletic accolades?

1053
00:45:34,732 --> 00:45:36,266
They meant nothing,

1054
00:45:36,333 --> 00:45:38,736
when Wolfie slammed you into the steps.

1055
00:45:38,802 --> 00:45:41,438
See all the clout you have
on all your platforms?

1056
00:45:41,505 --> 00:45:42,506
Nothing.

1057
00:45:42,573 --> 00:45:45,042
When Mark wrapped a steel chair
around your back.

1058
00:45:45,909 --> 00:45:48,011
I haven't forgotten
what you've done to me.

1059
00:45:48,912 --> 00:45:50,581
We'll see you on Tuesday.

1060
00:45:51,815 --> 00:45:53,617
[Vic] Well, Booker, earlier tonight

1061
00:45:53,684 --> 00:45:55,486
on our countdown to Heatwave,

1062
00:45:55,552 --> 00:45:58,155
we had a big tag team matchup
with our Canadian duo,

1063
00:45:58,222 --> 00:46:00,457
that being Karmen Petrovic
and Arianna Grace,

1064
00:46:00,524 --> 00:46:03,494
taking on Jazmyn Nyx and Jacy Jayne,

1065
00:46:03,560 --> 00:46:06,396
and right there,
you saw turnabout was fair play

1066
00:46:06,463 --> 00:46:08,132
for the Canadian duo,

1067
00:46:08,198 --> 00:46:11,568
who came home and picked up a big victory,

1068
00:46:11,635 --> 00:46:13,237
earlier tonight.

1069
00:46:15,172 --> 00:46:17,808
Karmen, Arianna, congrats
on the win tonight.

1070
00:46:17,875 --> 00:46:20,110
I didn't know if this was going to work,

1071
00:46:20,177 --> 00:46:22,312
but you guys make a pretty good tag team.

1072
00:46:23,947 --> 00:46:25,315
Thank you, Ava.

1073
00:46:25,382 --> 00:46:27,017
I'm so glad it worked out.

1074
00:46:27,084 --> 00:46:30,020
Could you imagine poor Karmen
out there by herself?

1075
00:46:30,087 --> 00:46:32,322
The results would have been catastrophic.

1076
00:46:32,389 --> 00:46:34,391
But thankfully, I was there

1077
00:46:34,458 --> 00:46:36,460
to give the people of Toronto

1078
00:46:36,527 --> 00:46:37,828
what they needed.

1079
00:46:37,895 --> 00:46:38,762
What?

1080
00:46:38,829 --> 00:46:40,631
Arianna, I got the pin.

1081
00:46:40,697 --> 00:46:43,167
We're a team. We win together.

1082
00:46:43,233 --> 00:46:45,736
Sweetheart, use your eyes.

1083
00:46:45,803 --> 00:46:48,405
I believe I was the real MVP tonight,

1084
00:46:48,472 --> 00:46:50,307
and unfortunately for you,

1085
00:46:50,374 --> 00:46:53,210
this is the last time
we're going to be tagging together.

1086
00:46:53,277 --> 00:46:56,013
I can't have such an anchor

1087
00:46:56,079 --> 00:46:57,181
holding me down.

1088
00:46:57,247 --> 00:46:59,483
You want to know
who the better one of us is?

1089
00:46:59,550 --> 00:47:01,351
I think I know the answer to that.

1090
00:47:01,418 --> 00:47:03,720
Well, I don't,
and I think it's a good idea.

1091
00:47:03,787 --> 00:47:06,190
So how about on Tuesday?
Karmen versus Arianna,

1092
00:47:06,256 --> 00:47:08,458
and you can figure out
who the better one is?

1093
00:47:08,525 --> 00:47:09,359
I like that.

1094
00:47:09,426 --> 00:47:10,260
Great.

1095
00:47:10,828 --> 00:47:11,995
It is so wrong for you

1096
00:47:12,062 --> 00:47:13,497
to pit two tag team partners

1097
00:47:13,564 --> 00:47:14,765
against each other.

1098
00:47:14,832 --> 00:47:15,833
It's sickening.

[salsa music starts]

1100

[Vic] That's the decision,
and we'll find out on Tuesday,

1101
00:47:21,672 --> 00:47:24,942

there's a lot on the challenger's mind.

saying that she has become
the NXT Women's Champion?

1108
00:47:38,889 --> 00:47:41,158
that we crown a new NXT champion

1109
00:47:41,225 --> 00:47:42,226

Introducing first,

1118
00:48:16,560 --> 00:48:18,929
accompanied to the ring by Riley Osborne,

1119

Duke Hudson and Andre Chase!

1122
00:48:27,904 --> 00:48:31,275
[Vic] This could be a monumental moment

1123
00:48:31,341 --> 00:48:35,545
for Chase U
and their students, here tonight.

1124
00:48:35,612 --> 00:48:39,049

I like this kid, Riley Osborne.

-[Vic] Wait, wait.
-[Booker] He's a standup.

[Booker] You don't like him, you like him.
You like Riley?

1127
00:48:44,321 --> 00:48:45,656
[Booker] I like him.

1128
00:48:45,722 --> 00:48:46,590
[Vic] Since when?

1129
00:48:46,657 --> 00:48:48,058
[Booker] I just said it.

1130
00:48:48,125 --> 00:48:50,294
[Vic] But you didn't
say that two weeks ago.

1131
00:48:50,360 --> 00:48:52,095
[Booker] I'm saying it now.

1132
00:48:52,162 --> 00:48:54,798
-[Vic] Stop riding the fence.
-[Booker] I like Riley.

1133

-He's a standup dude.

-[Booker] Can you hear me?
-[Vic] What?

1148
00:49:49,019 --> 00:49:50,921
[Vic] Let's talk about red flags.

1149
00:49:50,988 --> 00:49:52,389
Are the champions ready?

1150
00:49:52,456 --> 00:49:53,523
Are they prepared?

1151
00:49:53,590 --> 00:49:56,026
Because Frazer's focus has been elsewhere.

1152
00:49:56,093 --> 00:49:59,396
Book, he arrived to the building late,
two hours ago.

1153

Axiom was preparing

1154
00:50:00,931 --> 00:50:03,233
to defend these titles solo,

1155
00:50:03,300 --> 00:50:04,234
by himself.

00:50:13,844 --> 00:50:16,546
But Nathan Frazer,
it seems like he wants more, man.

1161
00:50:16,613 --> 00:50:19,216
This team is totally not focused

1162
00:50:19,282 --> 00:50:20,817
at the task at hand.

but there is an m-e.

As the first time ever,
the NXT tag team titles have been defended

1177
00:51:01,324 --> 00:51:04,494
at Heatwave. You got to go back 1999,

1178
00:51:04,561 --> 00:51:07,764
in ECW, the last time
tag titles were changed hands

1179
00:51:07,831 --> 00:51:09,366

do you consider the champions

1182
00:51:14,471 --> 00:51:17,741
[Booker] Nathan Frazer and Axiom
are always going to be underdogs.

1183

They're going to come in undersized.

Take a look at the champions.
They have defeated AOP.

1189
00:51:30,253 --> 00:51:31,588
They've defeated the OC.

1190

They've defeated the D'Angelo family.

1191
00:51:33,824 --> 00:51:35,425

Rolls back out. Able to nip.

1204

We got a standoff.

1205
00:52:00,050 --> 00:52:03,553
[Booker] Axiom, like I say,
he knows every inch of that 20 by 20,

1206
00:52:03,620 --> 00:52:06,189
but you can't do it by yourself
in a tag team.

to watch his back

00:52:22,239 --> 00:52:23,840
-from Axiom.
-[Booker] Beautiful.

1215
00:52:23,907 --> 00:52:27,444
[Vic] Cover, another kick out.
The only meeting between these teams,

1216
00:52:27,511 --> 00:52:29,145
it was the challengers,

1217
00:52:29,646 --> 00:52:30,814
who were victorious.

1218
00:52:30,881 --> 00:52:33,917
That's something the champions have
in the back of their mind.

1219
00:52:33,984 --> 00:52:36,586
Another counter, step through,
pinning predicament.

1220
00:52:36,653 --> 00:52:37,721
Counter by Chase.

1221
00:52:37,787 --> 00:52:39,956
Axiom trying to roll in for it again.

1222
00:52:40,023 --> 00:52:41,725
The weight shifted by Andre Chase!

1223
00:52:41,791 --> 00:52:44,327
Almost brought Chase U
the titles for a second time.

1224
00:52:44,394 --> 00:52:47,531
[Booker] Vic, wouldn't you want
to put an asterisk by that win?

1225
00:52:47,597 --> 00:52:49,466
[Vic] You don't remember that match.

1226
00:52:49,533 --> 00:52:52,335
[Booker] You would put an asterisk
by that win, right?

1227
00:52:52,402 --> 00:52:53,970
[Vic] No. A win is a win, Book.

1228
00:52:54,037 --> 00:52:56,840
As a fan, if they win,
I don't care how they do it.

1229
00:52:56,907 --> 00:52:59,109
A win is a victory
on a Sunday or Thursday.

1230
00:52:59,176 --> 00:53:01,545
[Booker] The Browns ain't winning.

1231
00:53:01,611 --> 00:53:05,382
[Vic] We are excited to get to Cleveland,
for Summerslam. Browns stadium

1232
00:53:05,448 --> 00:53:06,316
in a few weeks.

1233
00:53:06,383 --> 00:53:07,217
But in Toronto,

1234
00:53:07,284 --> 00:53:09,452
Chase U looking on, and they could bring

1235
00:53:09,519 --> 00:53:11,922
the tag team titles back to campus.

1236
00:53:11,988 --> 00:53:15,025
You want to talk about the champions.
Wouldn't you be annoyed

1237
00:53:15,091 --> 00:53:16,459
if you were Axiom?

1238
00:53:16,526 --> 00:53:18,762
Frazer's been competing on WWE speed.

1239
00:53:18,828 --> 00:53:21,598
He's also challenged Tony D'Angelo
for the Heritage Cup.

1240
00:53:21,665 --> 00:53:23,533
As Frazer is the legal competitor.

1241
00:53:23,600 --> 00:53:26,703
[Booker] I don't really know
if annoyed is the right word.

1242
00:53:26,770 --> 00:53:29,139
-Ticked off.
-[Vic] About the same thing.

1243
00:53:29,205 --> 00:53:30,607
-You would be.
-[Booker] Yes.

1244
00:53:30,674 --> 00:53:32,475
[Vic] You understand why,

1245
00:53:32,542 --> 00:53:35,545
as Frazer trying to quicken the pace,
something he does well.

1246
00:53:35,612 --> 00:53:38,214
But there's your guy, the MVP of Chase U.

1247
00:53:38,281 --> 00:53:42,118
[Booker] Yes! He should be the president,
as far as I'm concerned.

1248
00:53:42,185 --> 00:53:44,321
Look at the big man go!

1249
00:53:44,387 --> 00:53:49,092
-Oh, yes!
-[Vic] A belly-to-belly overhead toss.

1250
00:53:49,826 --> 00:53:53,330
[Booker] Chase U, one of the students.

1251
00:53:54,531 --> 00:53:57,300
[Vic] They're all over the place.
They travel very well.

1252
00:53:57,367 --> 00:53:58,735
And speaking of traveling,

1253
00:53:58,802 --> 00:54:01,171
look how far Nathan Frazer went

1254
00:54:01,238 --> 00:54:03,206
and then just gets dropped.

1255
00:54:03,273 --> 00:54:05,275
We got two right here in front of us.

1256
00:54:05,342 --> 00:54:06,843
Thea Hail, Riley Osborne.

1257
00:54:06,910 --> 00:54:08,044
They are up in arms.

1258
00:54:08,111 --> 00:54:09,479
They are fired up.

1259
00:54:09,546 --> 00:54:11,248
[Booker] Yes. We still wonder

1260
00:54:11,314 --> 00:54:14,084
if Nathan Frazer is fully focused

1261
00:54:14,150 --> 00:54:16,052
on the task at hand here tonight, Vic.

1262
00:54:16,119 --> 00:54:19,322
[Vic] Axiom thought
he was going to have a two-on-one match.

1263
00:54:19,389 --> 00:54:22,125
A handicap match to defend these titles.
He was worried.

1264
00:54:22,192 --> 00:54:24,561
Frazer showed up,
said time and time again,

1265
00:54:24,628 --> 00:54:27,297
"nothing to worry about."
There's a lot to worry about

1266
00:54:27,364 --> 00:54:28,498
for the champ. Cover!

1267
00:54:28,565 --> 00:54:31,668
-Count, and a kick out
-[Booker] I always say, preparation.

1268
00:54:31,735 --> 00:54:33,837
Preparation is the only luck

1269
00:54:33,903 --> 00:54:35,538
you're going to have.

1270
00:54:35,605 --> 00:54:37,841
[Vic] What would you've done
if Ray was late?

1271
00:54:37,907 --> 00:54:39,743
[Booker] I'd have fired his ass.

1272
00:54:39,809 --> 00:54:41,211
[Vic] Would he work for you?

1273
00:54:41,278 --> 00:54:45,015
Under Harvey? Was he on your payroll?
I thought he was a tag team partner.

1274
00:54:45,081 --> 00:54:47,417
I'll let you think about that.
A tag was made,

1275
00:54:47,484 --> 00:54:48,785
and Axiom is legal.

1276
00:54:48,852 --> 00:54:49,686
Frazer!

1277
00:54:49,753 --> 00:54:51,221
These two now, clubbing.

1278
00:54:51,288 --> 00:54:53,023
-Chopping down, DDT!
-[Booker] Whoa!

1279
00:54:53,089 --> 00:54:56,393
[Vic] Chase is rocked.
Axiom into the cover. Titles on the line.

1280
00:54:56,459 --> 00:54:59,062
The champions were a half-second away
from retaining.

1281
00:54:59,129 --> 00:55:01,865
[Booker] Working like
a well-oiled machine.

1282
00:55:01,931 --> 00:55:05,635
I don't think the bad blood is coming
into play right now.

1283
00:55:05,702 --> 00:55:07,437
They're looking pretty good, Vic.

1284
00:55:07,504 --> 00:55:09,272
[crowd clapping]

1285
00:55:09,839 --> 00:55:11,074
[Chase] Oh!

1286
00:55:11,875 --> 00:55:13,209
[Vic] Axiom using his head

1287
00:55:13,276 --> 00:55:15,211
literally right there in this moment.

1288
00:55:16,179 --> 00:55:18,448
Take a look at what we've talked about.

1289
00:55:18,515 --> 00:55:21,317
All five championships being defended.

1290
00:55:21,384 --> 00:55:24,321
What a night this has been
thus far for NXT.

1291
00:55:24,387 --> 00:55:25,689
Axiom rolling right back--

1292
00:55:25,755 --> 00:55:27,490
-Whoa!
-[crowd cheering]

1293
00:55:27,557 --> 00:55:29,759
[Vic] What a clothesline from Axiom.

1294
00:55:29,826 --> 00:55:32,429
Andre Chase may think
he's teaching class again,

1295
00:55:32,495 --> 00:55:34,364
but got his right shoulder up.

1296
00:55:34,431 --> 00:55:37,567
[Booker] That clothesline
to the back of the neck,

1297
00:55:37,634 --> 00:55:39,703
that was almost illegal there.

1298
00:55:39,769 --> 00:55:45,241
-[Vic] Take another look.
-[Booker] That was an illegal shot.

1299
00:55:45,308 --> 00:55:47,243
-[Vic] Rooting for Chase?
-[Booker] No.

1300
00:55:47,310 --> 00:55:50,647
-[Vic] You're calling it as it is.
-[Booker] I'm telling like it is.

1301
00:55:50,714 --> 00:55:52,949
[Vic] What are you getting upset about?

1302
00:55:53,016 --> 00:55:53,883
[Booker] I'm not.

1303
00:55:53,950 --> 00:55:55,919
[Vic] It's illegal in boxing.

1304
00:55:55,985 --> 00:55:58,154
It's professional wrestling.

1305
00:55:58,221 --> 00:56:00,357
-What a kick!
-[Booker] I'll give you that.

1306
00:56:00,423 --> 00:56:01,925
-Oh!
-[Vic] Half and half.

1307
00:56:01,991 --> 00:56:04,094
Frazer's legal. Double superkicks

1308
00:56:04,160 --> 00:56:05,395
under the jaw.

1309
00:56:05,462 --> 00:56:06,563
Into the cover!

1310
00:56:06,629 --> 00:56:08,398
And a kick out.

1311
00:56:08,465 --> 00:56:09,532
Near fall.

1312
00:56:09,599 --> 00:56:12,769
And Nathan Frazer looking at the official.

1313
00:56:12,836 --> 00:56:14,104
I don't think he agrees.

1314
00:56:14,170 --> 00:56:15,438
[Booker] Check that shot.

1315
00:56:15,505 --> 00:56:18,007
-Is not an illegal shot?
-[Vic] It's not boxing.

1316
00:56:18,074 --> 00:56:20,110
-[Booker] Is that not illegal?
-[Vic] No.

1317
00:56:20,176 --> 00:56:22,612
That's like saying that's illegal.
It's all fair.

1318
00:56:22,679 --> 00:56:25,815
-The titles are on the line.
-[Booker] I get it.

1319
00:56:25,882 --> 00:56:28,318
Do what is necessary. I'm on that side.

1320
00:56:28,384 --> 00:56:30,120
But that right there was blatant.

1321
00:56:30,186 --> 00:56:32,155
[Vic] NXT tag team titles on the line.

1322
00:56:32,222 --> 00:56:35,125
At this moment, it is the champions
who are in control,

1323
00:56:35,191 --> 00:56:36,893
here at NXT Heatwave.

1324
00:56:36,960 --> 00:56:40,029
It was Nathan Frazer
who arrived late tonight.

1325
00:56:40,096 --> 00:56:41,598
Axiom probably,

1326
00:56:41,664 --> 00:56:43,833
behind that mask,
breathing a sigh of relief

1327
00:56:43,900 --> 00:56:46,936
about 90 minutes ago.
It was about two hours ago.

1328
00:56:47,003 --> 00:56:50,774
This was going to be a handicap match.
And Nathan Frazer is here.

1329
00:56:50,840 --> 00:56:51,741
He is focused.

1330
00:56:51,808 --> 00:56:53,410
And he right now got caught.

1331
00:56:53,476 --> 00:56:54,911
Just got dropped.

1332
00:56:54,978 --> 00:56:56,880
-[Booker] Oh, man. Big shot!
-[screams]

1333
00:56:56,946 --> 00:57:00,550
[Vic] And what will the side effects be,
here in this matchup?

1334
00:57:00,617 --> 00:57:03,453
-[Booker] Chase doesn't know--
-[Vic] Chase into a cover!

1335
00:57:03,520 --> 00:57:04,721
And Chase,

1336
00:57:04,788 --> 00:57:07,424
Frazer might have realized
and started scooting away.

1337
00:57:07,490 --> 00:57:09,526
Chase's now trying to get to the cover.

1338
00:57:09,592 --> 00:57:11,461
And the number one contenders,

1339
00:57:11,528 --> 00:57:13,897
who are able to win tag team turmoil,

1340
00:57:13,963 --> 00:57:16,232
are closing in on a tag.

1341
00:57:16,299 --> 00:57:18,301
And Axiom able to close the door.

1342
00:57:19,068 --> 00:57:22,005
When we talk about that turmoil,
it caused a bit of turmoil

1343
00:57:22,071 --> 00:57:23,673
inside the campus of chase U,

1344
00:57:23,740 --> 00:57:27,010
as a nice submission here,
applied by Axiom for a half second.

1345
00:57:27,076 --> 00:57:29,412
Axiom back up,
looking for another submission.

1346
00:57:29,479 --> 00:57:31,448
-Trying to snatch the arm.
-[Booker] Oh!

1347
00:57:31,514 --> 00:57:34,217
[Vic] Chase doing his best to hold on.
Shoulders down.

1348
00:57:34,284 --> 00:57:36,653
Axiom had to relinquish the hold.

1349
00:57:36,719 --> 00:57:38,655
[Booker] Look at Chase. [chuckles]

1350
00:57:38,721 --> 00:57:40,957
He's trying to hold his own.

1351
00:57:41,024 --> 00:57:42,692
But he's still a step behind.

1352
00:57:42,759 --> 00:57:44,027
Still a big step behind.

1353
00:57:44,093 --> 00:57:46,262
[Vic] If you're Andre Chase,

1354
00:57:46,329 --> 00:57:49,699
you're thinking about the last time
Chase U had the tag team titles.

1355
00:57:49,766 --> 00:57:51,868
The reign lasted just 21 days.

1356
00:57:51,935 --> 00:57:54,871
Chase felt
that the team didn't reach its potential.

1357
00:57:54,938 --> 00:57:57,507
They may not be able
to reach their potential again.

1358
00:57:57,574 --> 00:58:00,043
As another counter, another submission.

1359
00:58:00,109 --> 00:58:01,110
And look at Axiom.

1360
00:58:01,177 --> 00:58:03,246
[Booker] Yes, Andre Chase, Chase U,

1361
00:58:03,313 --> 00:58:05,982
they have a chance
to be redeemed here tonight,

1362
00:58:06,049 --> 00:58:07,650
against the tag team champions,

1363
00:58:07,717 --> 00:58:09,953
who has not been on the same page,

1364
00:58:10,019 --> 00:58:13,223
but right now,
they're looking really good.

1365
00:58:13,289 --> 00:58:14,958
[thudding]

1366
00:58:15,024 --> 00:58:16,259
[Vic] The wise of Axiom,

1367
00:58:16,326 --> 00:58:18,728
to try to drag Andre Chase
back to the corner.

1368
00:58:18,795 --> 00:58:20,129
And Chase… Oh!

1369
00:58:20,663 --> 00:58:23,733
I don't think he realized
he sent Axiom into his own corner.

1370
00:58:23,800 --> 00:58:24,834
Tag was made.

1371
00:58:24,901 --> 00:58:27,270
Frazer's legal and Duke's legal.

1372
00:58:27,337 --> 00:58:28,771
[Hudson] Let's go!

1373
00:58:29,439 --> 00:58:32,075
[Vic] And Chase U, turning things around,

1374
00:58:33,176 --> 00:58:35,712
just like their fortune
has turned around recently

1375
00:58:35,778 --> 00:58:38,014
to Andre Chase's leadership.

1376
00:58:38,081 --> 00:58:40,350
But tonight,
the titles could be coming back

1377
00:58:40,416 --> 00:58:42,285
[crowd cheering]

1378
00:58:42,352 --> 00:58:44,921
because of Duke Hudson.

1379
00:58:45,455 --> 00:58:48,992
[crowd cheering]

1380
00:58:49,058 --> 00:58:51,461
-[Vic] And Chase U is rolling.
-[clapping]

1381
00:58:51,528 --> 00:58:53,329
And we talked about it earlier.

1382
00:58:53,396 --> 00:58:55,465
Holland is not here at Heatwave.

1383
00:58:55,531 --> 00:58:58,635
He was told by Andre Chase to stay back.

1384
00:58:59,269 --> 00:59:02,238
Chase U, though,
really hasn't lost a step.

1385
00:59:02,305 --> 00:59:03,339
[Booker] Man!

1386
00:59:03,406 --> 00:59:04,674
[Vic] Axiom got planted.

1387
00:59:04,741 --> 00:59:05,642
Frazer saw it.

1388
00:59:05,708 --> 00:59:09,178
-He wanted some too, same results.
-[Booker] Look at the big man.

1389
00:59:09,245 --> 00:59:11,915
The big man is rolling downhill,

1390
00:59:11,981 --> 00:59:13,516
like a snowball.

1391
00:59:13,583 --> 00:59:15,785
He's getting bigger. Oh, yes!

1392
00:59:15,852 --> 00:59:20,323
[Vic] A senton gut buster combo!
Will it bring the titles back to Chase U?

1393
00:59:20,390 --> 00:59:21,257
And a kick out.

1394
00:59:22,091 --> 00:59:23,760
[Booker] Stay on the gas, man.

1395
00:59:23,826 --> 00:59:24,827
Stay on the gas.

1396
00:59:24,894 --> 00:59:27,463
Don't think about it, big man.

1397
00:59:27,530 --> 00:59:30,133
[Vic] I don't want to know
what Holland is thinking,

1398
00:59:30,199 --> 00:59:32,569
watching exclusively on Peacock.

1399
00:59:32,635 --> 00:59:34,737
-But take a look.
-[crowd cheering]

1400
00:59:34,804 --> 00:59:37,273
Hudson, that's why you say
he should be the what?

1401
00:59:37,340 --> 00:59:38,641
[Booker] The president.

1402
00:59:38,708 --> 00:59:42,879
[Vic] Everything else.
He is changing the complexion

1403
00:59:42,946 --> 00:59:43,947
of this matchup.

1404
00:59:44,013 --> 00:59:45,481
But Nathan Frazer,

1405
00:59:45,548 --> 00:59:46,849
using his speed.

1406
00:59:46,916 --> 00:59:48,685
The man who moves like a blur,

1407
00:59:48,751 --> 00:59:50,453
who strikes like a cobra.

1408
00:59:50,520 --> 00:59:51,554
[crowd clapping]

1409
00:59:51,621 --> 00:59:53,056
[Vic] His mind is thinking.

1410
00:59:53,122 --> 00:59:56,426
[Booker] He's thinking about it.
Here we go. Oh, no!

1411
00:59:56,492 --> 00:59:58,928
[Vic] He might have thought
about it too long.

1412
00:59:58,995 --> 01:00:04,000
As now Duke Hudson, big German suplex,

1413
01:00:04,067 --> 01:00:06,102
that turned Frazer inside out.

1414
01:00:06,169 --> 01:00:09,906
[Booker] What a German suplex by Duke!

1415
01:00:09,973 --> 01:00:12,508
[Vic] But now, is Duke taking
too much time, Book?

1416
01:00:12,575 --> 01:00:16,079
[Booker] Duke ready to take it
to the pay window, man.

1417
01:00:16,145 --> 01:00:18,348
Here we go!

1418
01:00:18,414 --> 01:00:24,053
[Vic] Looking to become two-time NXT
Tag Team Champions.

1419
01:00:24,120 --> 01:00:26,022
And Frazer countered

1420
01:00:26,089 --> 01:00:28,491
at the last possible moment.

1421
01:00:28,558 --> 01:00:31,327
-[Booker] What a move!
-[Vic] And Axiom's legal.

1422
01:00:32,161 --> 01:00:34,263
Axiom to the top.

1423
01:00:34,330 --> 01:00:36,899
-[thud]
-Hurricanrana, taking down Hudson.

1424
01:00:37,834 --> 01:00:38,901
[Axiom] Go!

1425
01:00:38,968 --> 01:00:40,370
[Vic] Hudson in front of us.

1426
01:00:40,436 --> 01:00:42,038
Oh, Andre Chase

1427
01:00:42,105 --> 01:00:43,039
from Frazer.

1428
01:00:43,106 --> 01:00:45,008
Duke wiped out by Axiom.

1429
01:00:45,842 --> 01:00:47,110
No rest…

1430
01:00:47,176 --> 01:00:48,778
[crowd cheering]

1431
01:00:48,845 --> 01:00:50,346
for the champs!

1432
01:00:50,947 --> 01:00:51,881
[tapping]

1433
01:00:51,948 --> 01:00:53,082
Everybody wiped out,

1434
01:00:53,149 --> 01:00:55,118
but what sort of effects to Axiom?

1435
01:00:55,184 --> 01:00:57,320
You couldn't see it, you were spun around.

1436
01:00:57,387 --> 01:01:00,323
Axiom started shaking some feeling
back into his hands.

1437
01:01:00,390 --> 01:01:01,924
[Booker] Where are we, Vic?

1438
01:01:01,991 --> 01:01:06,129
[crowd] NXT! NXT!

1439
01:01:08,431 --> 01:01:10,500
[Vic] Frog splash connects.

1440
01:01:11,134 --> 01:01:13,102
Champs now moving quickly.

1441
01:01:13,870 --> 01:01:15,571
Frazer's legal.

1442
01:01:15,638 --> 01:01:16,606
[crowd cheering]

1443
01:01:16,673 --> 01:01:18,408
[Vic] Is this going to be enough?

1444
01:01:18,474 --> 01:01:19,308
[crowd] Two!

1445
01:01:19,375 --> 01:01:22,145
-[Vic] Oh, man.
-[Booker] Man!

1446
01:01:22,211 --> 01:01:25,815
-[Vic] Thea Hail thought she got expelled.
-[Hail screams]

1447
01:01:25,882 --> 01:01:27,550
[Vic] Osborne beside himself.

1448
01:01:27,617 --> 01:01:29,919
[Booker] Frazer looks perplexed right now.

1449
01:01:29,986 --> 01:01:31,721
Can't do that. Oh!

1450
01:01:31,788 --> 01:01:32,822
[Vic] Wouldn't you,

1451
01:01:32,889 --> 01:01:36,125
after what just happened to Duke Hudson?

1452
01:01:36,192 --> 01:01:38,361
Laying it on the line.

1453
01:01:38,428 --> 01:01:39,996
Body and soul.

1454
01:01:40,063 --> 01:01:42,732
Oh, Axiom got caught.
I believe a tag was made.

1455
01:01:42,799 --> 01:01:44,934
I think Frazer is the legal superstar.

1456
01:01:45,001 --> 01:01:45,835
[thud]

1457
01:01:45,902 --> 01:01:48,438
Frazer was able
to tag the back of Axiom's leg.

1458
01:01:48,504 --> 01:01:51,174
-Counter through the ura nage.
-[Booker] Beautiful!

1459
01:01:51,240 --> 01:01:52,308
[wrestlers groan]

1460
01:01:53,076 --> 01:01:55,178
[Vic] Frazer created a bit of separation.

1461
01:01:55,244 --> 01:01:58,314
I can't find Andre Chase anywhere.
Duke Hudson is staggering.

1462
01:01:58,381 --> 01:02:01,017
[Booker] Look at Frazer.
A lot of creativity. Oh!

1463
01:02:01,084 --> 01:02:02,351
He got caught.

1464
01:02:02,418 --> 01:02:04,687
[Vic] Looking for a little Stratusfaction.

1465
01:02:04,754 --> 01:02:05,988
[Hail screams]

1466
01:02:06,055 --> 01:02:08,591
[Vic] And if he wants some satisfaction,

1467
01:02:08,658 --> 01:02:10,259
he's got to put Frazer away!

1468
01:02:10,326 --> 01:02:12,161
-And big offense!
-[Hail screams]

1469
01:02:12,228 --> 01:02:14,797
-[Vic] High impact for the titles.
-[Booker] Yes.

1470
01:02:14,864 --> 01:02:15,998
[Booker] Whoa!

1471
01:02:17,033 --> 01:02:18,801
[Vic] Chase here in front of us.

1472
01:02:19,435 --> 01:02:21,170
Beside himself.

1473
01:02:22,572 --> 01:02:24,741
What a tag team contest.

1474
01:02:24,807 --> 01:02:26,876
[Booker] Nathan Frazer kicked out

1475
01:02:27,844 --> 01:02:29,145
at the last second there.

1476
01:02:29,212 --> 01:02:31,547
He's more prepared
than we thought he was, Vic.

1477
01:02:31,614 --> 01:02:33,049
[Vic] You say that again.

1478
01:02:33,116 --> 01:02:35,952
[crowd] This is awesome! [clapping]

1479
01:02:40,990 --> 01:02:43,192
[Vic] Can lightning strike twice

1480
01:02:43,259 --> 01:02:44,961
-[Hail screams]
-[Vic] for Chase U?

1481
01:02:45,728 --> 01:02:46,963
Andre Chase,

1482
01:02:47,029 --> 01:02:48,831
finally back into this matchup.

1483
01:02:48,898 --> 01:02:50,133
Back into this fight.

1484
01:02:50,199 --> 01:02:52,268
Tag was made. Hudson's legal.

1485
01:02:53,436 --> 01:02:54,337
[wrestlers groan]

1486
01:02:54,403 --> 01:02:56,839
[Vic] A lot has been taken out of all four

1487
01:02:56,906 --> 01:02:59,175
-of these competitors.
-[ref] Look out!

1488
01:02:59,242 --> 01:03:01,611
-[Hail] Come on!
-[Vic] Now Duke Hudson.

1489
01:03:01,677 --> 01:03:03,546
A man his size doesn't go,

1490
01:03:04,080 --> 01:03:05,414
leave his feet very often.

1491
01:03:05,481 --> 01:03:08,484
[Booker] Yes, but he's left
to do it all by himself,

1492
01:03:08,551 --> 01:03:10,286
-[Hudson] Oh!
-[Booker] here again.

1493
01:03:10,353 --> 01:03:12,688
-Where is Andre Chase?
-[Hail] Come on!

1494
01:03:12,755 --> 01:03:13,856
[Booker] Where is he?

1495
01:03:13,923 --> 01:03:15,224
-[Vic] Springboard.
-[thud]

1496
01:03:15,291 --> 01:03:17,693
[Vic] Missile dropkick
right into the chest

1497
01:03:17,760 --> 01:03:19,028
of the MVP.

1498
01:03:19,095 --> 01:03:20,463
Axiom made the tag.

1499
01:03:20,963 --> 01:03:23,032
Champions now, as you pointed out,

1500
01:03:23,099 --> 01:03:25,034
got together a little late here today.

1501
01:03:25,101 --> 01:03:27,904
But they are certainly
on the same page right now.

1502
01:03:27,970 --> 01:03:30,273
-[Booker] Like two--
-[Vic] Watch out, referee.

1503
01:03:30,339 --> 01:03:31,407
[crowd cheering]

1504
01:03:31,474 --> 01:03:33,976
[Vic] I don't know where Chase is.

1505
01:03:34,043 --> 01:03:36,579
Duke Hudson just shoved Frazer off.

1506
01:03:36,646 --> 01:03:39,315
Chase is left somewhere lying.

1507
01:03:39,382 --> 01:03:41,884
-[Vic] Hudson's left by himself.
-[Booker] Tag was made.

1508
01:03:41,951 --> 01:03:44,320
[Vic] We've seen this before
from the champions.

1509
01:03:44,387 --> 01:03:48,224
Axiom looking for Phoenix.

1510
01:03:48,291 --> 01:03:49,892
Splash.

1511
01:03:49,959 --> 01:03:52,461
[Booker] You got to be kidding me. Wow!

1512
01:03:54,463 --> 01:03:57,900
[Vic] Connected with the Spanish fly
into the Phoenix splash.

1513
01:03:57,967 --> 01:04:01,170
Chase able to break it
with a Canadian driver.

1514
01:04:01,237 --> 01:04:05,074
[Booker] What the hell was that? Wow!

1515
01:04:05,741 --> 01:04:09,378
[Vic] We knew the playbook
from the champions because we've seen it.

1516
01:04:09,445 --> 01:04:13,115
We've sat here and watched them win
match after match.

1517
01:04:13,182 --> 01:04:14,617
[Booker] What was that, Vic?

1518
01:04:16,819 --> 01:04:21,224
[Vic] That was Andre Chase knowing
the same playbook that we did.

1519
01:04:21,290 --> 01:04:23,392
He wasn't just laying out
like you thought.

1520
01:04:23,459 --> 01:04:25,695
He was waiting because he had it scouted.

1521
01:04:25,761 --> 01:04:29,398
-[Booker] Was he playing possum?
-[Vic] He knew what was going to happen.

1522
01:04:29,465 --> 01:04:32,768
-[Booker] Was he playing possum, Vic?
-[Vic] Chase U now can do it.

1523
01:04:32,835 --> 01:04:34,136
Titles are on the line.

1524
01:04:35,304 --> 01:04:39,242
[crowd chanting] This is awesome!

1525
01:04:43,813 --> 01:04:46,916
[Vic] Andre Chase made the tag.

1526
01:04:46,983 --> 01:04:48,918
Axiom is back in.

1527
01:04:49,852 --> 01:04:52,188
These four
are going to have to lay it out.

1528
01:04:52,255 --> 01:04:55,791
They're going to have to leave it all
right here, right now.

1529
01:04:55,858 --> 01:04:59,328
Andre Chase, who's the one
who has turned the fortune around

1530
01:04:59,395 --> 01:05:04,200
for Chase University, is the one
who had everything scouted,

1531
01:05:04,267 --> 01:05:08,738
has been going to class, has been
taking his team to school for this moment,

1532
01:05:08,804 --> 01:05:11,540
has been preparing them
to become two-time champions.

1533
01:05:11,607 --> 01:05:13,943
Can he dig deep tonight?

1534
01:05:14,010 --> 01:05:15,211
[Chase screams]

1535
01:05:15,278 --> 01:05:18,147
[Booker] Who wants it most?
Who wants it most, Vic?

1536
01:05:18,214 --> 01:05:21,450
[Vic] Look, Frazer just bailed out
his partner for a half second,

1537
01:05:21,517 --> 01:05:22,485
for a moment.

1538
01:05:22,551 --> 01:05:26,389
There again is Andre, staying
one step ahead of the champions.

1539
01:05:27,023 --> 01:05:28,157
And again!

1540
01:05:28,791 --> 01:05:29,926
[Booker] Here it is.

1541
01:05:29,992 --> 01:05:31,827
It's coming into play, Vic.

1542
01:05:31,894 --> 01:05:34,697
-That could be it.
-[Vic] Duke took out Frazer.

1543
01:05:34,764 --> 01:05:36,666
Chase took out Axiom.

1544
01:05:36,732 --> 01:05:39,702
[crowd cheers]

1545
01:05:44,040 --> 01:05:46,676
[Vic] Unbelievable.

1546
01:05:49,378 --> 01:05:52,848
Andre Chase could have everything
he once scouted,

1547
01:05:52,915 --> 01:05:55,351
but you don't know the heart of someone.

1548
01:05:55,418 --> 01:05:58,721
[crowd chanting] NXT!

1549
01:06:00,856 --> 01:06:02,525
-[Book] Vic.
-[Vic] Book.

1550
01:06:02,591 --> 01:06:07,964
[Book] Axiom just saved
the Tag Team Championships for now.

1551
01:06:08,030 --> 01:06:11,233
[Vic] Yes, Andre Chase, Russian leg sweep,

1552
01:06:11,300 --> 01:06:15,037
and now he's looking
for all the proud members.

1553
01:06:15,104 --> 01:06:17,406
-Give me a C.
-[crowd yells] C!

1554
01:06:17,473 --> 01:06:18,941
-H.
-[crowd yells] H!

1555
01:06:19,008 --> 01:06:20,309
-A.
-[crowd yells] A!

1556
01:06:20,376 --> 01:06:21,711
-S.
-[crowd yells] S!

1557
01:06:21,777 --> 01:06:23,079
-E.
-[crowd yells] E!

1558
01:06:23,145 --> 01:06:24,647
-U.
-[crowd yells] U!

1559
01:06:24,714 --> 01:06:27,717
-What's that spell?
-[crowd yells] Chase U!

1560
01:06:27,783 --> 01:06:30,219
[Vic] You asked where
the students were, Book?

1561
01:06:30,286 --> 01:06:32,421
They're all around us, here in Toronto.

1562
01:06:32,488 --> 01:06:35,391
They're trying to rally the challengers.

1563
01:06:35,458 --> 01:06:37,626
Chase, high crossbody.

1564
01:06:37,693 --> 01:06:38,728
[Booker] Beautiful.

1565
01:06:38,794 --> 01:06:40,262
[Vic] He got all of it.

1566
01:06:40,329 --> 01:06:44,200
Frazer just able to save the titles.

1567
01:06:44,266 --> 01:06:47,970
He wasn't here earlier,
he was certainly on time right there.

1568
01:06:48,037 --> 01:06:50,706
[Booker] Yes, you got
to always rely on your partner.

1569
01:06:50,773 --> 01:06:54,210
I'm going to tell you right now,
Frazer was there in the nick of time.

1570
01:06:55,144 --> 01:06:58,681
-Double underhook-- Floating over.
-[Booker] Oh, beautiful.

1571
01:06:58,748 --> 01:07:00,015
Frazer's legal.

1572
01:07:00,082 --> 01:07:04,353
Frazer flying in,
Chase able to run right underneath.

1573
01:07:04,420 --> 01:07:07,957
Frazer able to roll through, and Chase,
now, can you say something nice?

1574
01:07:08,024 --> 01:07:11,394
He has been bringing it out,
he's the MVP right now, in this match.

1575
01:07:11,460 --> 01:07:14,196
[Booker] Andre Chase
has been holding us for tonight,

1576
01:07:14,263 --> 01:07:17,333
but Tag Team champions
are working together right now.

1577
01:07:17,400 --> 01:07:18,634
Here we go.

1578
01:07:20,669 --> 01:07:21,804
[all] Oh!

1579
01:07:22,438 --> 01:07:24,940
-[Booker] Right on the ear, man.
-[Vic] Watch out.

1580
01:07:26,108 --> 01:07:30,112
Hudson's wiped out
off the combination offense.

1581
01:07:30,179 --> 01:07:35,418
Axiom measuring Chase
for the golden ratio.

1582
01:07:35,484 --> 01:07:37,086
[Booker] Got all of it.

1583
01:07:37,153 --> 01:07:40,856
[Vic] The golden ratio, into the cover,
keeps the gold with the champions.

1584
01:07:40,923 --> 01:07:41,991
[bell rings]

1585
01:07:42,058 --> 01:07:43,526
[Frazer and Axiom's theme]

1586
01:07:43,592 --> 01:07:44,894
[Booker] Wow.

1587
01:07:44,960 --> 01:07:48,230
[male announcer] Here are your winners,

1588
01:07:48,297 --> 01:07:52,401
and still the NXT Tag Team champions,

1589
01:07:52,468 --> 01:07:57,339
Nathan Frazer and Axiom.

1590
01:08:00,643 --> 01:08:04,080
[Vic] Now, some may be questioning
Andre Chase 's decision

1591
01:08:04,146 --> 01:08:06,982
about Ridge Holland,
who is not here tonight,

1592
01:08:07,049 --> 01:08:12,421
but what an absolutely amazing
Tag Team matchup.

1593
01:08:12,488 --> 01:08:16,125
First it was Axiom,
who hit that Spanish fly,

1594
01:08:16,192 --> 01:08:19,862
followed up by the Phoenix splash
from Nathan Frazer.

1595
01:08:19,929 --> 01:08:23,466
We've seen it time and time again
work out for this duo.

1596
01:08:23,532 --> 01:08:28,571
It didn't work o tonight,
because Andre Chase, the teacher himself,

1597
01:08:28,637 --> 01:08:30,339
knew exactly what was happening.

1598
01:08:30,406 --> 01:08:32,741
For a good portion of this matchup,

1599
01:08:32,808 --> 01:08:36,145
he was able to stay one step
ahead of the champions.

1600
01:08:36,212 --> 01:08:39,982
Numerous occasions,
it was so close for Chase U

1601
01:08:40,049 --> 01:08:42,651
to becoming two-time Tag Team champions.

1602
01:08:42,718 --> 01:08:46,121
It was the champions
who were able to pull it together

1603
01:08:46,188 --> 01:08:48,057
when they needed to do it the most.

1604
01:08:48,124 --> 01:08:50,826
It was Frazer who wiped out Duke Hudson,

1605
01:08:50,893 --> 01:08:52,928
and then, the golden moment. Bam!

1606
01:08:52,995 --> 01:08:55,531
Golden ratio under the jaw

1607
01:08:55,598 --> 01:09:01,637
for the NXT Tag Team champions
to retain their titles here in Toronto.

1608
01:09:03,172 --> 01:09:07,409
While the champions did make it tougher
on themselves than it needed to be,

1609
01:09:07,476 --> 01:09:11,347
I'm sure they're going to have
a lot to discuss on their flight home.

1610
01:09:13,816 --> 01:09:16,118
[WWE: Strike Force by Def Rebel playing]

1611
01:09:22,892 --> 01:09:25,895
-Wes Lee, can I please get a word?
-For what?

1612
01:09:26,762 --> 01:09:29,098
I lost. Plain and simple.

1613
01:09:29,732 --> 01:09:33,936
This night was supposed to be me regaining
my North American Championship.

1614
01:09:34,603 --> 01:09:35,571
I failed.

1615
01:09:36,605 --> 01:09:38,274
I traveled the world.

1616
01:09:38,340 --> 01:09:40,709
I made the best friends,
won Tag Team gold,

1617
01:09:40,776 --> 01:09:44,380
and even had one of the best
singles runs of all time.

1618
01:09:45,247 --> 01:09:49,084
Tonight was supposed to culminate
with me regaining my crown

1619
01:09:49,151 --> 01:09:51,453
as the King of the West Side.

1620
01:09:52,421 --> 01:09:55,424
Holding my North American Championship.

1621
01:09:56,125 --> 01:09:57,760
I failed.

1622
01:09:58,928 --> 01:10:01,530
Oba Femi was a better man tonight.

1623
01:10:01,597 --> 01:10:02,898
Period, point blank.

1624
01:10:04,500 --> 01:10:05,701
But…

1625
01:10:08,237 --> 01:10:09,672
I'm at a loss for words.

1626
01:10:10,606 --> 01:10:12,174
Look, I'm sorry.

1627
01:10:12,241 --> 01:10:15,044
I need some time to figure out
what's next.

1628
01:10:15,110 --> 01:10:16,946
Look, I'll see you all on Tuesday.

1629
01:10:20,516 --> 01:10:24,053
Booker, it's one of your favorite events,
and I know why.

1630
01:10:25,054 --> 01:10:27,923
-Your record at the Great American Bash.
-7 to 1, baby.

1631
01:10:27,990 --> 01:10:30,159
-How did you forget about that?
-7 to 1.

1632
01:10:30,226 --> 01:10:34,964
The Great American Bash coming to you
Tuesday after SummerSlam,

1633
01:10:35,030 --> 01:10:37,299
it is August 6th on Sci-Fi,

1634
01:10:37,366 --> 01:10:40,102
but a good question to ask ourselves,

1635
01:10:40,169 --> 01:10:42,905
who will be the NXT champion

1636
01:10:42,972 --> 01:10:46,575
when we get to the Great American Bash
on Sci-Fi

1637
01:10:46,642 --> 01:10:49,078
because there
you see one of the challengers.

1638
01:10:49,144 --> 01:10:52,381
Tonight, is the 20-year-old sensation,
Je'Von Evans,

1639
01:10:52,448 --> 01:10:57,253
ready to main event,
his first premium live event ever.

1640
01:10:57,319 --> 01:10:59,455
You know the nerves right now.

1641
01:10:59,521 --> 01:11:01,624
Going up, and they're going down.

1642
01:11:01,690 --> 01:11:05,894
There is someone who is even steel,
the manipulative Shawn Spears,

1643
01:11:05,961 --> 01:11:08,097
also getting ready for our main event.

1644
01:11:08,163 --> 01:11:12,534
Who walks out tonight NXT champion?

1645
01:11:15,004 --> 01:11:18,173
There's been a lot of talk
between these two women.

1646
01:11:18,240 --> 01:11:21,844
Will Lola Vice start to become
the greatest crossover MMA athlete,

1647
01:11:21,910 --> 01:11:25,314
or will Roxanne Perez
knock down another contender

1648
01:11:25,381 --> 01:11:28,851
and prove that there is
no one on her level?

1649
01:11:34,390 --> 01:11:36,825
[suspense music]

1650
01:11:40,229 --> 01:11:46,669
[Roxanne] And still
your NXT Women's champion,

1651
01:11:49,938 --> 01:11:53,042
"The Prodigy" Roxanne Perez.

1652
01:11:55,244 --> 01:11:59,615
I proved to everyone
that there truly is levels to this.

1653
01:12:00,182 --> 01:12:03,819
No one in this world is on mine.

1654
01:12:07,022 --> 01:12:12,761
Whoever you put in line for me,
I'm always going to find a way to win.

1655
01:12:13,862 --> 01:12:18,467
Because there is not one woman
that can take this title away from me.

1657
01:12:22,271 --> 01:12:27,643
[male announcer] Ladies and gentlemen,
please welcome Lola Vice.

1658
01:12:29,511 --> 01:12:32,348
The clock is ticking, Roxanne.

1659

1660
01:12:35,217 --> 01:12:36,151

Hammer fist after hammer fist.

1662
01:12:37,486 --> 01:12:39,788

["Bow Down" by Alibi Music playing]

1664

at my championship last week.

01:12:50,032 --> 01:12:52,234
Yes, I was.
I'm going to knock out every woman

of me and this opportunity.

[Roxanne] I've been watching
your every move, Lola.

1670
01:13:08,917 --> 01:13:12,788
Within a few months, you built
a bigger name for yourself in NXT

1671
01:13:12,855 --> 01:13:14,690
than you did in Bellator.

1672
01:13:15,591 --> 01:13:17,726
We're not in the underground.

1673
01:13:17,793 --> 01:13:22,531
This isn't an MMA fight,
which means you're in my world.

1674
01:13:23,165 --> 01:13:27,436
Ask Natalya,
ask Jordan Grace, ask Lyra Valkyria

1675
01:13:27,503 --> 01:13:33,175
why at 22 years old, I'm already
a two-time NXT Women's champion.

1676
01:13:35,377 --> 01:13:38,514
Roxanne, we all know your story.

1677
01:13:38,580 --> 01:13:40,849
You used to take the bus
to go to Booker's.

1678
01:13:40,916 --> 01:13:44,286
I was a fighter before I was even born.

1679
01:13:44,353 --> 01:13:48,457
My mother was pregnant with me
during her black belt test.

1680
01:13:48,524 --> 01:13:53,328
I then went on and became
a fourth-degree master in taekwondo.

1681
01:13:53,395 --> 01:13:57,466
At 20, I was already fighting
in Madison Square Garden.

1682
01:13:57,533 --> 01:14:01,103
My mother will be watching me.

1683
01:14:01,170 --> 01:14:04,139
I can't wait to call her
and tell her I did it.

1685
01:14:09,244 --> 01:14:13,115
Lola, every single woman
in that locker room

1686
01:14:13,182 --> 01:14:15,384
wants to make that same phone call.

1687
01:14:15,451 --> 01:14:19,988
When you step inside the ring with me,
those phone calls are never made.

1688
01:14:20,055 --> 01:14:22,024
I'm not giving up my title,

1689
01:14:22,090 --> 01:14:25,093
not to you,
not to anybody in that damn locker room.

1690

[Lola] You don't have
to give it to me, Roxanne.

1691
01:14:28,030 --> 01:14:29,698
I'm going to take it from you.

Cuban-American NXT Women's champion.

[Lola Vice's theme]

1698
01:15:20,249 --> 01:15:25,087
[Vic] It was Lola Vice who said earlier
she left the tears in Orlando,

1699
01:15:25,153 --> 01:15:29,258
that this was the biggest fight
of her career.

Lola Vice is here to do one thing.

1701
01:15:33,629 --> 01:15:36,732
Knock out Roxanne Perez.

1702
01:15:38,767 --> 01:15:42,004
[Booker] That was the story of Lola Vice.

1703
01:15:42,070 --> 01:15:46,842
Let me tell you right now,
what a motivating factor.

1704
01:15:47,409 --> 01:15:49,845
If anybody heard that story up there,

1705
01:15:50,445 --> 01:15:54,850
if you're not heartfelt,

1706
01:15:54,917 --> 01:15:56,885
you're not a human being.

1707
01:15:56,952 --> 01:15:58,253
Go ahead.

1708
01:15:58,320 --> 01:16:00,889
[Vic] I was going to say
you can hear the reaction

1709

from the NXT Universe here in Toronto.

1710
01:16:03,091 --> 01:16:05,827
Because Lola Vice put her heart out there.

1711
01:16:05,894 --> 01:16:09,698
It was a side of Lola Vice
we've never seen, we've never heard.

1712
01:16:09,765 --> 01:16:15,437
There's plenty of supporters here tonight
that want her to make that phone call.

[Roxanne Perez's theme]

1714
01:16:20,242 --> 01:16:24,580
[Vic] To do so, she's got to defeat
Roxanne Perez.

1715
01:16:24,646 --> 01:16:27,783
Both women believe
that there's no one on their level, Book.

1716
01:16:27,849 --> 01:16:32,621
This certainly is the ultimate showdown
in the NXT Women's Division.

1717
01:16:32,688 --> 01:16:36,391
[Booker] Roxanne Perez
gave Lola Vice her flowers, man.

1718
01:16:36,458 --> 01:16:39,094
She said she's one of the greatest in MMA.

1719
01:16:39,161 --> 01:16:42,197
This is professional wrestling.

1720
01:16:42,264 --> 01:16:45,567
Now you are in my world.

1721
01:16:45,634 --> 01:16:49,137
"The Prodigy" Roxanne Perez's world.

1722
01:16:49,204 --> 01:16:52,040
[Vic] We're here
at Money in the Bank weekend in Toronto.

1723
01:16:52,107 --> 01:16:56,144
You see the championship
that is around the waist of Roxanne Perez.

1724
01:16:56,211 --> 01:16:58,180
You go back 24 hours ago

1725
01:16:58,246 --> 01:17:01,283
to the Women's Money in the Bank
Ladder Match.

1726
01:17:01,350 --> 01:17:04,052
Iyo Aky, Lyra Valkyria,

1727
01:17:04,119 --> 01:17:08,523
and Tiffany Stratton, who we now call
Miss Money in the Bank.

1728
01:17:08,590 --> 01:17:12,260
You know what all three have in common,
except for that match last night?

1729
01:17:12,327 --> 01:17:13,495
[Booker] What's that?

1730
01:17:13,562 --> 01:17:17,099
[Vic] All three have been
the NXT Women's champion.

1731
01:17:18,266 --> 01:17:21,603
[Booker] Nobody better
than this one right here, though, Vic.

1732
01:17:25,474 --> 01:17:26,875
[bell rings]

1733
01:17:27,409 --> 01:17:31,413
[male announcer] The following contest
scheduled for one fall

1734
01:17:32,014 --> 01:17:38,987
is for the NXT Women's Championship.

1735
01:17:42,557 --> 01:17:48,730
Introducing the challenger, Lola Vice.

1736
01:17:50,899 --> 01:17:53,402
[crowd cheers]

1737
01:17:55,771 --> 01:17:58,573
Her opponent,

1738
01:17:58,640 --> 01:18:03,845
she is the NXT Women's champion,

1739
01:18:03,912 --> 01:18:09,317
Roxanne Perez.

1740
01:18:11,887 --> 01:18:14,389
[Vic] Both challenger
and champion have fought

1741
01:18:14,456 --> 01:18:16,258
to get to this very moment in time.

1742
01:18:16,324 --> 01:18:21,496
Vice didn't take the traditional route
like Perez, but both have a fan base.

1743
01:18:21,563 --> 01:18:24,666
Both have their fan bases
on the edge of their seats.

1744
01:18:24,733 --> 01:18:25,901
All their supporters.

1745
01:18:25,967 --> 01:18:29,905
Who will carry
this division after tonight?

1746
01:18:31,239 --> 01:18:34,543
The issues between these
two go back to February at Vengeance Day.

1747
01:18:34,609 --> 01:18:36,144
[bell rings]

1748
01:18:36,211 --> 01:18:38,680
When Lola failed to execute
her breakout contract.

1749
01:18:38,747 --> 01:18:41,283
It also cost Perez the championship
on that night.

1750
01:18:41,349 --> 01:18:45,220
Perez had to wait until the biggest
Stand & Deliver of all time

1751
01:18:45,287 --> 01:18:46,755
to regain her Women's title.

1752
01:18:46,822 --> 01:18:51,093
[Booker] Man, I got goosebumps
right now, Vic, watching these two.

1753
01:18:51,159 --> 01:18:52,594
Oh, wow.

1754
01:18:53,995 --> 01:18:56,098
This is serious tonight, man.

1755
01:18:56,164 --> 01:18:59,901
[Vic] Perez right now showing no fear
and trying to get into the head,

1756
01:18:59,968 --> 01:19:04,106
trying to get into the mind of Lola Vice,
maybe trying to frustrate the challenger,

1757
01:19:04,172 --> 01:19:07,976
who once became the greatest
crossover MMA athlete of all time.

1758
01:19:08,043 --> 01:19:11,680
Will Vice's greatness, though,
come at the expense of Perez?

1759
01:19:11,746 --> 01:19:14,616
[Booker] Come on.
You're talking about one of the best.

1760
01:19:14,683 --> 01:19:17,719
Roxanne Perez, she started this
when she was 16 years old,

1761
01:19:17,786 --> 01:19:20,922
the youngest reality
of Wrestling champion in its history.

1762
01:19:20,989 --> 01:19:24,126
-Now looking to make moves--
-[Vic] Looking for the armbar!

1763
01:19:24,192 --> 01:19:27,596
-[Vic] Oh, shifting and a kick out.
-[Booker] Beautiful.

1764
01:19:27,662 --> 01:19:29,831
Roxanne Perez scouted
that one right there.

1765
01:19:29,898 --> 01:19:32,167
You can tell she's been
working on that move.

1766
01:19:32,234 --> 01:19:33,535
She's seen it coming.

1767
01:19:34,136 --> 01:19:37,606
[Vic] Still trending number one,
NXT Heatwave, here in Toronto,

1768
01:19:37,672 --> 01:19:39,574
capping off Money in the Bank weekend.

1769
01:19:39,641 --> 01:19:42,244
[crowd chanting] Let's go, Lola!

1770
01:19:42,310 --> 01:19:45,380
[crowd chanting] Let's go, Roxy!

1771
01:19:45,447 --> 01:19:48,116
[Vic] Nice takedown.
This is what we talk about, Book,

1772
01:19:48,183 --> 01:19:52,354
the loyal fan bases both these women have,
very vocal here in Toronto.

1773
01:19:52,420 --> 01:19:55,557
Look at the knees, look
at the striking ability from Lola Vice.

1774
01:19:55,624 --> 01:19:59,261
She had a deep dig in Tuesday to Perez,
but it was a fair question.

1775
01:19:59,327 --> 01:20:01,163
Who's the real prodigy?

1776
01:20:01,229 --> 01:20:03,665
[Booker] Come on.
Taking nothing away from Lola,

1777
01:20:03,732 --> 01:20:06,334
she's been competing
since she was a itty bitty girl,

1778
01:20:06,401 --> 01:20:09,504
and she talked about being
in Madison Square Garden, but like--

1779
01:20:09,571 --> 01:20:13,041
[Vic] Oh, she was looking
for that knockout for that backfist.

1780
01:20:13,108 --> 01:20:16,211
[Booker] Beautiful there. Again,
Roxanne Perez, she scouted it.

1781
01:20:16,278 --> 01:20:18,914
That's why she's The Prodigy, Vic.
She saw it coming.

1782
01:20:18,980 --> 01:20:21,249
[Vic] Perez is about to be sent
from Toronto

1783
01:20:21,316 --> 01:20:23,118
back to Laredo with that backfist.

1784
01:20:23,185 --> 01:20:25,654
From the apron,
Lola Vice wiping out Perez.

1785
01:20:25,720 --> 01:20:30,492
Look, we learned why Lola Vice
is so determined when she fights.

1786
01:20:30,559 --> 01:20:32,060
She fights for her family.

1787
01:20:32,127 --> 01:20:34,796
She had to turn to fighting
to help her sick mother.

1788
01:20:34,863 --> 01:20:38,266
Her will to win is only matched
by her mother's will to survive,

1789
01:20:38,333 --> 01:20:40,235
and if that fist would have connected,

1790
01:20:40,302 --> 01:20:43,839
Lola Vice would have been calling her mom
to tell her she was champion.

1791
01:20:43,905 --> 01:20:45,840
[Booker] Oh, you see that right there?

1792
01:20:45,907 --> 01:20:49,544
That right there is Roxanne Perez,
one step ahead of Lola Vice.

1793
01:20:49,611 --> 01:20:52,914
Like I said, Lola Vice,
she's been very, very impressive.

1794
01:20:52,981 --> 01:20:55,350
Breakout Tournament winner 2023,

1795
01:20:55,417 --> 01:20:59,221
beating Kelani Jordan tells me
she's very, very experienced.

1796
01:20:59,287 --> 01:21:01,456
[Vic] Well, you know what?
There's no doubt.

1797
01:21:01,523 --> 01:21:02,791
You take a look at Perez.

1798
01:21:02,858 --> 01:21:06,294
It's hard to argue that Perez is not
the most decorated woman ever in NXT.

1799
01:21:06,361 --> 01:21:08,096
NXT Women's Tag Team champion.

1800
01:21:08,163 --> 01:21:09,831
[Booker] Keep going, keep going.

1801
01:21:09,898 --> 01:21:13,134
[Vic] First-ever Breakout Tournament
winner. Iron Survivor winner.

1802
01:21:13,201 --> 01:21:14,336
[Booker] What else?

1803
01:21:14,402 --> 01:21:17,606
[Vic] Beat three women to be
the NXT Women's champion two times,

1804
01:21:17,672 --> 01:21:21,576
but she's going in against someone
who is so driven, who is so focused.

1805
01:21:21,643 --> 01:21:24,079
-[Booker] And determined.
-[Vic] Like Lola.

1806
01:21:24,145 --> 01:21:25,614
[Booker] That's the question.

1807
01:21:25,680 --> 01:21:28,884
[Vic] Cover by Perez, hook of the leg,
and Vice able to kick out.

1808
01:21:28,950 --> 01:21:31,753
This NXT Universe, right now,
they are getting very loud.

1809
01:21:31,820 --> 01:21:33,989
[Booker] That's what it is.

1810
01:21:34,055 --> 01:21:36,791
[Vic] They are split
between these two women,

1811
01:21:36,858 --> 01:21:38,894
and one will walk out with the title.

1812
01:21:38,960 --> 01:21:41,863
One of them will walk
out leading this division.

1813
01:21:41,930 --> 01:21:44,799
Look at Lola Vice.
Vice right now, right after another,

1814
01:21:44,866 --> 01:21:48,203
just beating down, wearing down
the NXT Women's champion.

1815
01:21:48,270 --> 01:21:51,139
It's Vice who's looking
for the knockout, into the cover.

1816
01:21:51,206 --> 01:21:53,108
Shoulders down and a half second away.

1817
01:21:54,476 --> 01:21:59,414
Vice looking for another strike and,
oh! Ripping at the hair was Perez.

1818
01:22:00,382 --> 01:22:02,417
I will say this also about Roxanne Perez.

1819
01:22:02,484 --> 01:22:03,852
[Booker] Please, please do.

1820
01:22:03,919 --> 01:22:07,489
[Vic] She defended this brand
in an unprecedented match at Battleground.

1821
01:22:07,555 --> 01:22:09,424
-[Lola screaming]
-[referee counting]

1822
01:22:09,491 --> 01:22:12,761
Listening to the official,
breaking the rules.

1823
01:22:12,827 --> 01:22:16,698
Not breaking, I should say,
bending them to work towards her favor.

1824
01:22:16,765 --> 01:22:19,301
[Booker] Roxanne Perez
have stepped up her game,

1825
01:22:19,367 --> 01:22:21,836
so she's start thinking
about one thing, me.

1826
01:22:21,903 --> 01:22:23,705
Me winning the championship back,

1827
01:22:23,772 --> 01:22:26,207
getting that championship
back that she never lost.

1828
01:22:26,274 --> 01:22:31,446
Right now, Perez-- And we talk
about it being on another level, man.

1829
01:22:31,513 --> 01:22:34,816
Here we go, here we go.
Whoa, beautiful work.

1830
01:22:34,883 --> 01:22:37,152
[Vic] Russian leg sweep, float over cover.

1831
01:22:37,218 --> 01:22:39,487
Title on the line,
the challenger kicking out.

1832
01:22:39,554 --> 01:22:42,424
Both have gotten the better
of each other at times,

1833
01:22:42,490 --> 01:22:49,297
but as Vice put it, when Perez was
dropped, she woke up without her title.

1834
01:22:49,364 --> 01:22:52,200
[Booker] Yes, you're talking
about old stuff right now.

1835
01:22:52,267 --> 01:22:54,436
Roxanne Perez, no wasted motions.

1836
01:22:54,502 --> 01:22:57,138
She's looking beautiful here tonight.

1837
01:22:57,205 --> 01:22:59,908
[Vic] It's also something to note
right now, Book,

1838
01:22:59,974 --> 01:23:03,311
that Roxanne Perez,
she is keeping Lola Vice grounded.

1839
01:23:03,378 --> 01:23:05,847
You talk to Perez and you hear her
talking to the media,

1840
01:23:05,914 --> 01:23:08,116
she has been working
on her counter strikes

1841
01:23:08,183 --> 01:23:11,820
because she knows the dangers
of Lola Vice and that backfist,

1842
01:23:11,886 --> 01:23:15,924
but the champion has not abandoned
what brought her to the dance

1843
01:23:15,991 --> 01:23:18,193
because she has been very mindful of Lola.

1844
01:23:18,259 --> 01:23:22,597
[Booker] No taking nothing away from Vice,
but this is truly Roxanne Perez's world.

1845
01:23:22,664 --> 01:23:26,334
Like I say, since she was 16 years old,
she has been working on her craft--

1846
01:23:26,401 --> 01:23:30,238
- Here we go. Beautiful work by Roxanne.
-[Vic] Lola's down one more time.

1847
01:23:30,305 --> 01:23:32,974
[Vic] Look how quick Vice was able
to pop back up,

1848
01:23:33,041 --> 01:23:34,776
and she pops up, she squares up.

1849
01:23:34,843 --> 01:23:38,413
She centers herself and these are
those quick feet, these are those strikes.

1850
01:23:38,480 --> 01:23:39,481
[Booker] Yeah!

1851
01:23:41,483 --> 01:23:43,551
That's what I'm talking about right here,

1852
01:23:43,618 --> 01:23:46,821
you don't want to waste any time
like this right here with Perez.

1853
01:23:46,888 --> 01:23:50,692
[Vic] As impressive as Perez
has been in the last year,

1854
01:23:50,759 --> 01:23:54,696
you have to agree that Lola Vice
in the last three or four months,

1855
01:23:54,763 --> 01:23:56,564
has been equally impressive.

1856
01:23:56,631 --> 01:23:59,267
She has certainly changed
things around since February.

1857
01:23:59,334 --> 01:24:01,169
Into the back, into the cover,

1858
01:24:01,236 --> 01:24:04,239
and Perez able to get
that right shoulder just off the mat.

1859
01:24:04,305 --> 01:24:07,375
[Booker] Lola Vice has
that winning mentality, Vic.

1860
01:24:07,442 --> 01:24:09,844
She's not about friends
or anything like that.

1861
01:24:09,911 --> 01:24:12,747
It's about winning on a regular basis.

1862
01:24:12,814 --> 01:24:15,316
Whoa, so close, so close.

1863
01:24:15,383 --> 01:24:17,585
[Vic] Perez was one second away
from winning,

1864
01:24:17,652 --> 01:24:19,187
but going right back to the body.

1865
01:24:19,254 --> 01:24:21,423
Take a look at how fast Perez buckled,

1866
01:24:21,489 --> 01:24:25,126
how fast she fell
from one punch to the gut.

1867
01:24:25,193 --> 01:24:28,430
[Booker] That's what I'm talking about,
these fast hands by Perez.

1868
01:24:28,496 --> 01:24:31,166
Oh, got caught with a shot.

1869
01:24:31,232 --> 01:24:34,669
[Vic] Vice says her fists don't lie,
and Perez right now--

1870
01:24:34,736 --> 01:24:38,339
Oh! Got caught waiting for that uppercut
and could be going to sleep.

1871
01:24:38,406 --> 01:24:41,876
Able to use a little bit of momentum
rolling through, shoulders down.

1872
01:24:41,943 --> 01:24:45,113
Vice having to relinquish the hold
to continue this matchup,

1873
01:24:45,180 --> 01:24:48,483
as Perez charging back in,
trying to counter, and she got caught.

1874
01:24:48,550 --> 01:24:50,885
She's trapped now, Book. Perez is trapped.

1875
01:24:50,952 --> 01:24:54,923
-Body scissors cinched in. Squeezing away.
-[Booker] Roxanne, you got to move.

1876
01:24:54,989 --> 01:24:58,026
Beautiful right there.
Referee, do your damn job.

1877
01:24:58,093 --> 01:24:59,427
Do your damn job, ref.

1878
01:24:59,494 --> 01:25:03,932
[Vic] Perez, talk about the underground.
This isn't like Vegas.

1879
01:25:03,998 --> 01:25:07,535
This isn't just trying to knock out
or put someone to sleep.

1880
01:25:07,602 --> 01:25:11,339
This is a traditional matchup,
and that is what Roxanne--

1881
01:25:11,406 --> 01:25:13,908
-[Booker] Oh!
-[Vic] No, no, no.

1882
01:25:13,975 --> 01:25:16,744
[Lola screaming]

1883
01:25:16,811 --> 01:25:19,114
[referee] Roxanne, come on.
What are you doing?

1884
01:25:19,180 --> 01:25:20,748
[Vic] What she's doing, ref,

1885
01:25:20,815 --> 01:25:24,853
is taking advantage of the situation
just like you would want her to.

1886
01:25:24,919 --> 01:25:26,688
[Booker] Let me tell you something.

1887
01:25:26,754 --> 01:25:29,190
Look here, there's no love-loss here
or anything,

1888
01:25:29,257 --> 01:25:31,359
it's about holding on
to your championship.

1889
01:25:31,426 --> 01:25:34,496
It's not about playing game
or being nice in this situation.

1890
01:25:34,562 --> 01:25:37,465
Do what you do. Oh, yes, man.

1891
01:25:40,768 --> 01:25:44,772
[Vic] I tried to get a look
at Lola Vice's face.

1892
01:25:44,839 --> 01:25:47,742
She is in obvious pain
for obvious reasons.

1893
01:25:47,809 --> 01:25:51,045
As into the cover, back
to the live action to retain the title,

1894
01:25:51,112 --> 01:25:52,413
Vice able to kick out.

1895
01:25:52,480 --> 01:25:56,217
[Booker] A lot of anguish, Vic, as well
as she's in dire straits right now.

1896
01:25:56,284 --> 01:25:59,554
Roxanne Perez laying it on,
and laying it on thick.

1897
01:25:59,621 --> 01:26:01,890
[Vic] Think about this again, Booker.

1898
01:26:01,956 --> 01:26:04,125
It was Lola Vice
who went for that backfist.

1899
01:26:04,192 --> 01:26:07,161
She missed, but now
is the best part of Lola Vice's game

1900
01:26:07,228 --> 01:26:09,697
being systematically dissecting
from her playbook,

1901
01:26:09,764 --> 01:26:11,566
as into another cover, into a kick out.

1902
01:26:11,633 --> 01:26:15,303
[Booker] We're going to find out.
[Vic] She may have a broken hand or wrist.

1903
01:26:15,370 --> 01:26:18,973
[Booker] We're going to find out here
real quick how tough she really is.

1904
01:26:19,040 --> 01:26:22,477
She talked about being a competitor
since she was a little girl.

1905
01:26:22,544 --> 01:26:28,249
Now, she can compete at the highest level
with the best in NXT, Roxanne Perez.

1906
01:26:28,316 --> 01:26:30,084
[Vic] I asked you earlier today:

1907
01:26:30,151 --> 01:26:34,289
would Perez try to target
the inexperience of Lola Vice?

1908
01:26:34,355 --> 01:26:38,293
I wouldn't say that
that was inexperience that cost Vice,

1909
01:26:38,359 --> 01:26:41,563
but right now, Roxanne Perez,
the veteran who's been around,

1910
01:26:41,629 --> 01:26:44,332
who was under your tutelage,
knows exactly what to do.

1911
01:26:44,399 --> 01:26:47,468
There's a bull's eye on the body,
take advantage of it,

1912
01:26:47,535 --> 01:26:51,506
and at the same time, you're taking out
the best ability for Lola Vice to win,

1913
01:26:51,573 --> 01:26:53,708
that backfist, and Lola Vice knows it.

1914
01:26:53,775 --> 01:26:57,212
[Booker] She's got feet, though.
She's still got those quick feet.

1915
01:26:57,278 --> 01:26:58,279
Whoa!

1916
01:26:58,346 --> 01:27:00,682
[Vic] There's that foot again.
Trying to swing.

1917
01:27:00,748 --> 01:27:02,917
There just wasn't a lot
on that right hand.

1918
01:27:02,984 --> 01:27:05,153
Perez trying to take down Lola Vice.

1919
01:27:05,219 --> 01:27:08,456
If you think about it too,
think about that crossface submission

1920
01:27:08,523 --> 01:27:11,392
that Roxanne Perez has,
that she's been utilizing.

1921
01:27:11,459 --> 01:27:14,462
Nice belly-to-back suplex,
turning the challenger inside out.

1922
01:27:14,529 --> 01:27:17,165
-[Booker] Wow.
-[Vic] The challenger is in trouble.

1923
01:27:17,232 --> 01:27:20,301
[Booker] I don't think
it's the inexperience of Lola Vice,

1924
01:27:20,368 --> 01:27:23,938
I think it's just the ring generalship
of this young lady right here,

1925
01:27:24,005 --> 01:27:26,040
Roxanne Perez, two-time Women's champion.

1926
01:27:26,107 --> 01:27:28,209
That's what it is, man. Whoa!

1927
01:27:28,276 --> 01:27:31,246
[Vic] Looks like a chance.
Now, again, trying to lock in.

1928
01:27:31,312 --> 01:27:34,916
Is that a triangle she's trying
to lock in? She's only got one arm, Book.

1929
01:27:34,983 --> 01:27:37,452
Shifting the weight,
shoulders down one more time.

1930
01:27:37,518 --> 01:27:39,554
Again, just with one arm for Lola Vice.

1931
01:27:39,621 --> 01:27:41,856
Backfist got caught from Perez.

1932
01:27:42,457 --> 01:27:45,026
Lola able to catch it, and delivered one.

1933
01:27:45,093 --> 01:27:46,995
She finally was able to connect,

1934
01:27:47,061 --> 01:27:51,432
knocked Perez out all the way
to the floor, but quickly, look at Lola.

1935
01:27:51,499 --> 01:27:53,334
She went right to that injured arm.

1936
01:27:53,401 --> 01:27:57,505
-Yes. She still used it,
but I don't know if she got all of it.

1937
01:27:57,572 --> 01:28:01,376
[Vic] Think about this too, Book,
if that hand's broke, that wrist is broke,

1938
01:28:01,442 --> 01:28:05,346
if she can fight through that pain,
she won't even feel it.

1939
01:28:05,413 --> 01:28:09,150
You said a sledgehammer earlier,
Lola Vice will have a sledgehammer.

1940
01:28:09,217 --> 01:28:12,253
-She won't feel it.
-[Booker] I'm going to tell you right now.

1941
01:28:12,320 --> 01:28:14,255
The pain is obviously unbearable, Vic.

1942
01:28:14,322 --> 01:28:16,858
She's favoring it like-- Whoa, whoa, whoa.

1943
01:28:16,924 --> 01:28:20,161
[Vic] Cover, so close, and then
goes back to being a ring general,

1944
01:28:20,228 --> 01:28:22,096
Perez, so close to that bottom rope.

1945
01:28:22,163 --> 01:28:24,832
Didn't even have to use any energy
to put her foot up.

1946
01:28:24,899 --> 01:28:26,501
There was that backfist.

1947
01:28:26,567 --> 01:28:30,405
Even at 70%, it knocked
Perez all the way out.

1948
01:28:30,471 --> 01:28:34,309
[Booker] Yes, but look at the pain
and the anguish and Lola Vice's eyes, Vic.

1949
01:28:34,375 --> 01:28:35,877
You can tell, you can tell.

1950
01:28:35,943 --> 01:28:39,347
[Vic] Lola Vice can't do the simplest
thing as even push her body up.

1951
01:28:39,414 --> 01:28:42,617
She can't put any weight
on that right arm, and now, she's having

1952
01:28:42,684 --> 01:28:44,085
to fight with her left hand.

1953
01:28:44,152 --> 01:28:46,354
She's only got one arm in this matchup.

1954
01:28:46,421 --> 01:28:48,189
[Lola moaning]

1955
01:28:48,256 --> 01:28:51,959
[Vic] Right back to the injury goes Perez.

1956
01:28:52,026 --> 01:28:54,429
[crowd chanting] Let's go, Lola!

1957
01:28:54,495 --> 01:28:56,764
[crowd chanting] Let's go, Roxy!

1958
01:28:59,267 --> 01:29:01,469
[Vic] Oh, no, no, no, Booker.

1959
01:29:02,804 --> 01:29:03,805
[Booker] Wow.

1960
01:29:03,871 --> 01:29:06,708
[Vic] You have told me
this is a different side of Perez,

1961
01:29:06,774 --> 01:29:09,077
but there's even something more evil

1962
01:29:09,143 --> 01:29:11,245
coming out
in the Women's champion tonight.

1963
01:29:11,312 --> 01:29:14,515
[Booker] Look, Roxanne, not only did
she just take out the hand,

1964
01:29:14,582 --> 01:29:16,918
now, she's looking to take out
that shoulder

1965
01:29:16,984 --> 01:29:19,721
and finish this thing
and finish it in quick-- Whoa!

1966
01:29:19,787 --> 01:29:22,290
[Vic] She's looking for Pop Rox ,
it was countered.

1967
01:29:22,357 --> 01:29:24,058
She didn't go for the backfist,

1968
01:29:24,125 --> 01:29:26,894
but you said the feet still work,
and they certainly do.

1969
01:29:26,961 --> 01:29:28,396
[Booker] Educated feet, Vic.

1970
01:29:28,463 --> 01:29:31,866
[Vic] Turning right around,
and those strikes are just as effective.

1971
01:29:31,933 --> 01:29:35,837
Lola letting Roxanne think about it.

1972
01:29:35,903 --> 01:29:39,374
Perez pleading her case, looking
for that knockout, and blocked again.

1973
01:29:39,440 --> 01:29:41,309
Perez into Pop Rox .

1974
01:29:41,376 --> 01:29:42,777
[crowd screaming]

1975
01:29:42,844 --> 01:29:45,213
Just like that.

1976
01:29:45,279 --> 01:29:47,281
[Booker] Whoa, you got to be kidding me.

1977
01:29:47,348 --> 01:29:49,083
You got to be kidding me.

1978
01:29:51,652 --> 01:29:53,087
[Roxy screaming]

1979
01:29:53,154 --> 01:29:54,622
[Vic] Perez can't believe it.

1980
01:29:54,689 --> 01:29:57,258
You said we would find out a lot
about Lola Vice,

1981
01:29:57,325 --> 01:30:00,328
we certainly are, Booker,
right here and right now.

1982
01:30:00,394 --> 01:30:04,265
[Booker] Toughness, tenacity all of that
we're going to find out here tonight.

1983
01:30:04,899 --> 01:30:06,567
[Roxy] Out of my way.

1984
01:30:06,634 --> 01:30:09,570
[crowd screaming]

1985
01:30:13,174 --> 01:30:17,345
[Vic] This is a lot of frustration
boiling out of Roxanne.

1986
01:30:17,411 --> 01:30:22,450
[Booker] This is a different Roxanne, Vic,
this is different, man.

1987
01:30:24,419 --> 01:30:27,555
You will never be champion!

1988
01:30:32,093 --> 01:30:33,528
[Vic] Booker.

1989
01:30:34,495 --> 01:30:35,630
Perez.

1990
01:30:35,696 --> 01:30:37,832
Looking for Pop Rox .

1991
01:30:38,599 --> 01:30:40,301
The table didn't even break.

1992
01:30:44,472 --> 01:30:45,840
[Booker] Be smart, Roxanne.

1993
01:30:45,907 --> 01:30:48,576
[Vic] The official might want
to count this match out.

1994
01:30:48,643 --> 01:30:50,044
-Be smart here.

1995
01:30:50,111 --> 01:30:52,313
[crowd chanting] Holy shit!

1996
01:30:52,380 --> 01:30:54,048
[Vic] Perez getting Vice back in.

1997
01:30:55,216 --> 01:30:58,553
Into the cover off the second Pop Rox
and it didn't do it.

1998
01:30:58,619 --> 01:31:00,121
It didn't do it, Book.

1999
01:31:00,188 --> 01:31:03,090
This is what happens
when you're fighting for your family,

2000
01:31:03,157 --> 01:31:05,493
but look at Perez,
she went for the crossface

2001
01:31:05,560 --> 01:31:09,230
and wisely, she realized the injured arm
and she's going for the crossface

2002
01:31:09,297 --> 01:31:11,465
on that injured shoulder,
on that right arm,

2003
01:31:11,532 --> 01:31:14,435
trying to break the will,
break the spirit of the champion.

2004
01:31:14,502 --> 01:31:17,805
-[Booker] She's going to make her tap.
-[Vic] Is Lola going to tap?

2005
01:31:17,872 --> 01:31:20,174
She's got to go think
about her mom and family.

2006
01:31:20,241 --> 01:31:22,844
That bottom rope is so damn close.
Lola reaching out.

2007
01:31:22,910 --> 01:31:25,279
[Booker] So far away,
but so far away, Vic.

2008
01:31:25,346 --> 01:31:29,483
[Vic] Look at Perez. Perez
rolling right back through, right back up.

2009
01:31:29,550 --> 01:31:33,054
-[Vic] Pop Rox again.
-[Booker] Beautiful.

2010
01:31:33,120 --> 01:31:36,390
[Vic] Not to be outdone
for the fourth time.

2011
01:31:36,457 --> 01:31:39,694
Perez said, forget four, add one more.

2012
01:31:39,760 --> 01:31:41,462
Looking for the fifth.

2013
01:31:41,529 --> 01:31:43,264
[crowd counts]

2014
01:31:43,331 --> 01:31:44,532
[Booker] Man.

2015
01:31:44,599 --> 01:31:46,033
[bell rings]

2016
01:31:46,100 --> 01:31:48,703
[Perez's theme]

2017
01:31:48,769 --> 01:31:53,174
[male announcer] Here is your winner

2018
01:31:53,241 --> 01:31:59,146
and still the NXT Women's champion,
Roxanne Perez.

2019
01:32:01,215 --> 01:32:04,619
[Booker] Go ahead, Vic,
go ahead with your diatribe,

2020
01:32:04,685 --> 01:32:07,321
go ahead and talk about how good
Roxanne Perez is.

2021
01:32:07,388 --> 01:32:11,926
Go ahead and say to the world
she is truly The Prodigy, Vic.

2022
01:32:11,993 --> 01:32:15,363
Go ahead and tell it like it is.
I know you want to say it.

2023
01:32:15,429 --> 01:32:17,999
Do it. Do it now. Do it, Vic.

2024
01:32:18,065 --> 01:32:19,967
[Vic] I don't need to. You just did.

2025
01:32:20,034 --> 01:32:25,306
Roxanne Perez, she brought
a fight and so did Lola Vice,

2026
01:32:25,373 --> 01:32:29,844
and this was the first Pop Rox
in this matchup,

2027
01:32:29,911 --> 01:32:32,914
but Lola Vice would not stay down.

2028
01:32:32,980 --> 01:32:35,449
Roxanne came right out here
in front of us.

2029
01:32:35,516 --> 01:32:38,586
She damaged the injured arm
throughout this matchup.

2030
01:32:38,653 --> 01:32:42,290
She focused on the body part
that would do the most damage.

2031
01:32:42,356 --> 01:32:44,892
That backfist. That was three.
There was a fourth,

2032
01:32:44,959 --> 01:32:50,097
but this was an unprecedented
big Pop Rox in this matchup

2033
01:32:50,164 --> 01:32:53,134
to finally put away Lola Vice

2034
01:32:53,200 --> 01:32:57,438
and retain the NXT Women's Championship.

2035
01:32:57,505 --> 01:32:59,840
[Booker] That didn't feel too bad, did it?

2036
01:32:59,907 --> 01:33:04,312
[Vic] I've never taken anything away
from Roxanne Perez.

2037
01:33:04,378 --> 01:33:07,048
I take nothing away
from the challenger here tonight,

2038
01:33:07,114 --> 01:33:12,086
but who can get on the level
of our NXT Women's champion,

2039
01:33:12,153 --> 01:33:16,357
"The Prodigy" Roxanne Perez?

2040
01:33:25,566 --> 01:33:28,569
Another 4th of July, Independence Day

2041
01:33:28,636 --> 01:33:32,340
to celebrate my heritage,
American heritage.

2042
01:33:32,406 --> 01:33:34,742
Rock and roll, brother.

2043
01:33:34,809 --> 01:33:38,012
Mötley Crüe, Metallica, real music,

2044
01:33:38,079 --> 01:33:42,650
not that beep boop robot bull crap
that you listen to Eddy Thorpe.

2045
01:33:42,717 --> 01:33:46,587
Some real heritage,
and speaking of heritage,

2046
01:33:46,654 --> 01:33:51,292
you know who's got a lot of heritage
on the line? Is that Tony D'Angelo.

2047
01:33:51,359 --> 01:33:54,962
Lexus King is going to take it
and claim it for his own

2048
01:33:55,029 --> 01:33:58,065
this Tuesday on NXT
because it's going to be

2049
01:33:58,132 --> 01:34:02,570
the King versus the Don
for the Heritage Cup.

2050
01:34:02,637 --> 01:34:04,805
[chuckles]

2051
01:34:09,043 --> 01:34:10,311
That's good.

2052
01:34:12,413 --> 01:34:19,153
I was in my garden this morning watering
all my fruits and vegetables and basil,

2053
01:34:19,220 --> 01:34:22,790
and I get a call
from my consigliere, Luca Gustavino.

2054
01:34:22,857 --> 01:34:25,760
He says, "Hey, Don, watch this video."

2055
01:34:26,527 --> 01:34:30,097
I look at the video and it's Lexus King

2056
01:34:30,164 --> 01:34:33,434
talking about this romance
with him and Eddy Thorpe.

2057
01:34:33,501 --> 01:34:34,902
I don't know.

2058
01:34:34,969 --> 01:34:37,538
Then he starts talking about me,

2059
01:34:37,605 --> 01:34:42,176
talking about taking away
my Italian Heritage Cup,

2060
01:34:42,243 --> 01:34:44,812
and he's talking about this
like it's going to be easy.

2061
01:34:45,479 --> 01:34:48,749
Lexus, I don't know who you think you are.

2062
01:34:48,816 --> 01:34:54,422
I don't know what you've been watching,
but I'm the Don of NXT.

2063
01:34:54,488 --> 01:34:58,059
And if you think this is just going to be
a walk in the park,

2064
01:34:58,125 --> 01:34:59,927
I'm insulted.

2065
01:34:59,994 --> 01:35:03,931
You want to match on Tuesday? Sure.

2066
01:35:04,732 --> 01:35:06,567
Ava set it up.

2067
01:35:06,634 --> 01:35:08,903
Because when I get in that ring,

2068
01:35:08,969 --> 01:35:13,507
I'm going to smack that fake-ass beard
right off of your face, you understand me?

2069
01:35:13,574 --> 01:35:20,181
Then I'm going to come right back
to my garden and water my basil plant.

2070
01:35:22,083 --> 01:35:26,187
[Vic] As you just heard, the challenge
was thrown out and it was accepted.

2071
01:35:26,253 --> 01:35:30,224
It'll be the Don versus the King
for the NXT Heritage Cup.

2072
01:35:30,291 --> 01:35:34,061
It's going down live this Tuesday on NXT.

2073
01:35:34,128 --> 01:35:37,298
Also on Tuesday, partners no more.

2074
01:35:37,364 --> 01:35:39,600
Who will prove to be better?

2075
01:35:39,667 --> 01:35:42,303
They were victorious
on Countdown to Heatwave together,

2076
01:35:42,369 --> 01:35:48,275
but only one will win when Petrovic beats
Grace on NXT this Tuesday on USA.

2077
01:35:48,342 --> 01:35:50,177
Speaking of Tag Team Competition,

2078
01:35:50,244 --> 01:35:52,947
there's two more Tag Team matches
that will take place,

2079
01:35:53,013 --> 01:35:55,616
both heated rivalries
that need to be settled

2080
01:35:55,683 --> 01:35:58,552
and they will be come Tuesday on NXT.

2081
01:35:58,619 --> 01:36:05,326
After what happened to start the night,
the question is what is next for Wes Lee?

2082
01:36:05,392 --> 01:36:11,532
The Cardiac Kid will address
the NXT Universe live on Tuesday.

2083
01:36:12,233 --> 01:36:16,170
Right now, the question is who will be
champion in 48 hours?

2084
01:36:16,237 --> 01:36:19,406
The odds are in favor of the challengers.

2085
01:36:19,473 --> 01:36:22,176
Trick Williams does not need
to be factored

2086
01:36:22,243 --> 01:36:24,245
in the decision to lose his title.

2087
01:36:24,311 --> 01:36:28,682
Can Trick overcome the odds
in this massive main event?

2088
01:36:31,986 --> 01:36:33,988
[crowd cheers]

2089
01:36:34,054 --> 01:36:38,726
[Trick Williams]
I talked about this, I dreamt about this.

2090
01:36:39,493 --> 01:36:41,061
We all wanted this.

2091
01:36:41,929 --> 01:36:45,566
[male announcer] Trick Williams
is your new NXT champion.

2092
01:36:46,800 --> 01:36:49,103
[Vic] This is a new era
led by Trick Williams.

2093
01:36:49,770 --> 01:36:54,375
[Trick] We're going to call
this the Whoop That Era.

2094
01:36:55,776 --> 01:36:58,345
[crowd chanting] Whoop That Trick!

2095
01:37:00,981 --> 01:37:05,953
Trick Williams, champ.

2096
01:37:07,822 --> 01:37:12,560
The next challenger
for your championship will be decided

2097
01:37:12,626 --> 01:37:16,764
in a 25-Man over-the-top Battle Royal.

2098
01:37:16,831 --> 01:37:19,900
[Vic] Who's headed
to the NXT Championship match?

2099
01:37:21,335 --> 01:37:24,171
Yo, this is crazy.

2100
01:37:25,072 --> 01:37:28,909
[Vic] The Young OG riding
the wave of momentum.

2101
01:37:28,976 --> 01:37:31,879
Evans is going to Heatwave.

2102
01:37:31,946 --> 01:37:33,981
I've never even left the country before.

2103
01:37:34,048 --> 01:37:36,617
I got to go get a passport for this.

2104
01:37:36,684 --> 01:37:38,986
There's me and you for that title, my boy.

2105
01:37:39,053 --> 01:37:40,588
Come on, now, at Heatwave.

2106
01:37:40,654 --> 01:37:41,555
Wrong.

2107
01:37:44,558 --> 01:37:45,726
Bro.

2108
01:37:45,793 --> 01:37:48,796
I'm still in the Battle Royal.
It's still happening right now.

2109
01:37:48,862 --> 01:37:50,197
I was never eliminated.

2110
01:37:50,264 --> 01:37:52,600
[Vic] Oro going right at Ethan Page.

2111
01:37:52,666 --> 01:37:55,302
[Vic] He hated on The Young OG
for winning that Battle Royal,

2112
01:37:55,369 --> 01:37:57,471
said it's null avoid, it doesn't count.

2113
01:37:57,538 --> 01:38:01,242
Ethan Page has defeated
the number one contender.

2114
01:38:01,308 --> 01:38:03,210
Now we're back on track.

2115
01:38:03,277 --> 01:38:05,880
We got a new number one contender.
That's the way I see it.

2116
01:38:05,946 --> 01:38:07,481
I am coming for that NXT title.

2117
01:38:07,548 --> 01:38:11,352
I've been building a reputation
for a long time around the world.

2118
01:38:11,418 --> 01:38:15,189
Now I'm exactly where I need to be.

2119
01:38:15,923 --> 01:38:20,094
[Shawn Spears] I was the guy
who pinned Je'Von first.

2120
01:38:20,160 --> 01:38:22,997
[Vic] Shawn Spears calling his shot.

2121
01:38:23,063 --> 01:38:25,799
I already put down Je'Von Evans
and I was the first man

2122
01:38:25,866 --> 01:38:28,002
to pin Trick Williams since
he became champion.

2123
01:38:28,068 --> 01:38:32,506
[Vic] An absolutely stunned NXT Universe.

2124
01:38:34,975 --> 01:38:37,278
Spears just beat the NXT champion.

2125
01:38:37,344 --> 01:38:38,812
Je'Von won the Battle Royal.

2126
01:38:38,879 --> 01:38:40,314
Ethan beat Je'Von.

2127
01:38:40,381 --> 01:38:44,151
All right, here's what I'm going to do.

2128
01:38:44,218 --> 01:38:51,191
Everyone has compelling cases,
so Heatwave, NXT Championship,

2129
01:38:52,459 --> 01:38:53,928
Fatal 4-Way.

2130
01:38:55,863 --> 01:38:58,832
A Fatal 4-Way match
where anything can happen.

2131
01:38:58,899 --> 01:39:00,167
It's my biggest test yet.

2132
01:39:00,234 --> 01:39:03,137
Three challengers, The Young OG…

2133
01:39:03,203 --> 01:39:05,906
[Vic] Everybody's going to know
that that boy's--

2134
01:39:05,973 --> 01:39:07,541
[crowd yells]

2135
01:39:07,608 --> 01:39:09,810
It's all love, but I'm coming after them.

2136
01:39:09,877 --> 01:39:11,312
Goofy-ass Spears.

2137
01:39:11,378 --> 01:39:15,382
It happens Toronto, Canada,
I will reach the pinnacle.

2138
01:39:15,449 --> 01:39:16,984
And all talk, Ethan Page.

2139
01:39:17,051 --> 01:39:20,654
There's only room
for one of us to be the guy.

2140
01:39:20,721 --> 01:39:22,156
That's All Ego, baby

2141
01:39:22,222 --> 01:39:25,259
My back has always been against the wall,

2142
01:39:25,326 --> 01:39:29,129
but when it comes to this NXT title,
I come through every single time.

2143
01:39:29,196 --> 01:39:32,666
The only thing that will happen is
I'm retaining my NXT title.

2144
01:39:33,901 --> 01:39:36,670
Toronto, you already
know what we going to do.

2145
01:39:37,604 --> 01:39:41,608
[crowd chanting] Whoop That Trick!

2146
01:39:45,579 --> 01:39:49,216
[Je'Von Evans' theme,
"Who Want It" playing]

2147
01:39:59,827 --> 01:40:02,062
Yeah!

2148
01:40:12,272 --> 01:40:14,508
It's tonight, baby.

2149
01:40:19,480 --> 01:40:22,049
[Vic] Booker,
you can understand the nerves.

2150
01:40:22,116 --> 01:40:26,954
This is the first premium live event
for Je'Von Evans.

2151
01:40:27,021 --> 01:40:32,159
Three months, Booker,
three months since his debut

2152
01:40:32,226 --> 01:40:36,764
and he's in the main event
of that premium live event.

2153
01:40:36,830 --> 01:40:39,299
[Booker] I know exactly
how this young man feels.

2154
01:40:39,366 --> 01:40:44,838
I remember my first PLE, Wargames.
I remember it vividly.

2155
01:40:44,905 --> 01:40:46,440
I had nothing to lose,

2156
01:40:46,507 --> 01:40:51,011
but everything, and when I say everything,
I mean everything to win,

2157
01:40:51,078 --> 01:40:54,014
so I know what this young man
is feeling right now, Vic.

2158
01:40:54,081 --> 01:40:58,685
[Vic] This is not a normal matchup
for the NXT title.

2159
01:40:58,752 --> 01:41:00,954
No disqualification or count out.

2160
01:41:01,021 --> 01:41:03,824
Every man for himself.

2161
01:41:04,558 --> 01:41:10,197
Williams does not need to be factored
in the decision to lose his title.

2162
01:41:11,432 --> 01:41:14,835
[Shawn Spears' theme,
"Truth and Pain playing]

2163
01:41:39,159 --> 01:41:43,030
[Vic] Shawn Spears has never held
a title at NXT.

2164
01:41:43,097 --> 01:41:45,099
He returned several months ago.

2165
01:41:45,165 --> 01:41:46,433
Now, he returns home.

2166
01:41:46,500 --> 01:41:52,873
How does the Chase for gold, Booker,
fuel a competitor like Shawn Spears?

2167
01:41:52,940 --> 01:41:55,609
[Booker] You say he's never
won an NXT championship.

2168
01:41:55,676 --> 01:41:56,710
-Right?
-[Vic] Right.

2169
01:41:56,777 --> 01:42:01,448
[Booker] That's just a testament
to this man's will and determination,

2170
01:42:01,515 --> 01:42:08,455
the diabolical, but to get driven still,
Shawn Spears, could be his night.

2171
01:42:08,522 --> 01:42:10,657
This could be his night, Vic.

2172
01:42:10,724 --> 01:42:12,125
This could be it.

2173
01:42:12,192 --> 01:42:18,398
[Vic] Spears is someone who tries
to talk and manipulate with his words.

2174
01:42:18,465 --> 01:42:21,969
There is one thing that he said
that no one can take away from him,

2175
01:42:22,035 --> 01:42:27,541
he was the first to pin Trick
since Williams became champion.

2176
01:42:29,443 --> 01:42:31,612
[Booker] He definitely has a case,

2177
01:42:31,678 --> 01:42:37,551
first to pin this young man standing
across from him as well, Je'Von Evans.

2178
01:42:37,618 --> 01:42:41,788
[Vic] If he pins Je'Von Evans,
Trick Williams loses his title.

2179
01:42:41,855 --> 01:42:43,390
[Booker] He'll be the champ.

2180
01:42:49,830 --> 01:42:53,700
[Ethan Page's theme,
"With A Smile" playing]

2181
01:43:00,974 --> 01:43:05,512
[Vic] Well, this is a man who talks
about his reputation.

2182
01:43:05,579 --> 01:43:08,282
This is a man who is so egotistical,

2183
01:43:08,348 --> 01:43:10,717
he created
his own company here in Toronto,

2184
01:43:10,784 --> 01:43:14,888
Alpha-1, so he could become a champion.

2185
01:43:15,622 --> 01:43:21,328
It's the man who returns home,
and again, filling his ego.

2186
01:43:21,395 --> 01:43:24,331
[Booker] Vic, I got to say it.

2187
01:43:24,398 --> 01:43:27,634
There's something
about this guy right here.

2188
01:43:27,701 --> 01:43:31,538
""All ego" Ethan Page.

2189
01:43:31,605 --> 01:43:38,345
Will he walk away tonight
as the new NXT champion?

2190
01:43:38,412 --> 01:43:39,880
El gran campeón.

2191
01:43:39,947 --> 01:43:43,684
[Vic] It's been nearly a decade
since the NXT title was defended

2192
01:43:43,750 --> 01:43:46,453
under these rules on a premium live event.

2193
01:43:46,520 --> 01:43:52,893
2021, the last time the NXT title
was defended in a Fatal 4-Way.

2194
01:44:00,500 --> 01:44:04,171
[Trick Williams' theme, "Locked In"]

2195
01:44:06,773 --> 01:44:08,709
[crowd cheers]

2196
01:44:10,444 --> 01:44:12,279
[crowd chanting] Whoop That Trick!

2197
01:44:12,346 --> 01:44:14,248
[Booker] What? What?

2198
01:44:15,649 --> 01:44:17,150
Yes.

2199
01:44:17,718 --> 01:44:19,152
Uh-huh.

2200
01:44:19,219 --> 01:44:20,554
I like it.

2201
01:44:20,621 --> 01:44:22,422
Oh, yes, man.

2202
01:44:22,489 --> 01:44:26,259
-That's what I'm talking about.
-[Booker] Oh, yes, man. That's Trick.

2203
01:44:26,326 --> 01:44:29,463
That's the champ right there, Vic.

2204
01:44:33,800 --> 01:44:35,035
Uh-huh.

2205
01:44:35,769 --> 01:44:36,970
Uh-huh.

2206
01:44:37,871 --> 01:44:38,939
I like it.

2207
01:44:39,940 --> 01:44:42,075
Whoa, whoa, check out the tights.

2208
01:44:42,142 --> 01:44:43,310
Check out the tights.

2209
01:44:43,377 --> 01:44:45,779
Oh, a little Harlem Heat action.

2210
01:44:45,846 --> 01:44:48,282
-[crowd cheers]
-[Booker laughs]

2211
01:44:48,348 --> 01:44:52,819
[Vic] Booker, it's been
an incredible journey and story.

2212
01:44:52,886 --> 01:44:56,290
He knows that the odds are against him.

2213
01:44:56,356 --> 01:45:01,161
During his media scrum this week,
this is a quote from Trick Williams.

2214
01:45:01,228 --> 01:45:06,133
"These are the moments
when I shine to show what I'm made of."

2215
01:45:06,199 --> 01:45:11,838
The time is now, Fatal 4-Way
for the NXT Championship.

2216
01:45:12,639 --> 01:45:14,274
[Booker] Give it up for him.

2217
01:45:14,341 --> 01:45:19,546
He rose up out the shadows, Vic,
and now he's the NXT champion.

2218
01:45:19,613 --> 01:45:22,149
The odds are against him.

2219
01:45:22,215 --> 01:45:25,485
But now, we get a chance to see

2220
01:45:25,552 --> 01:45:29,589
what Trick Williams is truly all about.

2221
01:45:33,393 --> 01:45:34,795
[bell rings]

2222
01:45:34,861 --> 01:45:39,166
[male announcer] The following contest

2223
01:45:39,232 --> 01:45:46,206
is a Fatal 4-Way match
for the NXT championship.

2224
01:45:47,507 --> 01:45:49,509
[crowd cheers]

2225
01:45:49,576 --> 01:45:52,112
[male announcer]
Introducing the challengers.

2226
01:45:52,179 --> 01:45:57,751
First, Je'Von Evans.

2227
01:45:59,619 --> 01:46:02,155
[crowd cheers]

2228
01:46:03,590 --> 01:46:09,396
[male announcer] Next, Shawn Spears.

2229
01:46:09,463 --> 01:46:12,766
[crowd cheers]

2230
01:46:12,833 --> 01:46:16,703
[crowd chanting] Trick!

2231
01:46:16,770 --> 01:46:20,140
[male announcer] And last,

2232
01:46:20,207 --> 01:46:25,312
""All Ego " Ethan Page.

2233
01:46:27,848 --> 01:46:31,184
[crowd cheers]

2234
01:46:31,251 --> 01:46:33,553
[male announcer] And their opponent,

2235
01:46:33,620 --> 01:46:39,626
he is the NXT champion,

2236
01:46:39,693 --> 01:46:44,598
Trick Williams.

2237
01:46:44,664 --> 01:46:46,433
[crowd cheers]

2238
01:46:46,500 --> 01:46:50,237
[Vic] 25% chance Trick survives.

2239
01:46:50,303 --> 01:46:55,041
[crowd chanting] Whoop That Trick!

2240
01:46:59,546 --> 01:47:02,082
[Vic] All about it.

2241
01:47:06,686 --> 01:47:08,455
[bell rings]

2242
01:47:08,522 --> 01:47:11,792
[Booker] If I can give Mike
a little advice,

2243
01:47:11,858 --> 01:47:15,629
he's the reigning and defending,
Trick Williams.

2244
01:47:15,695 --> 01:47:17,931
[Vic] Now, you want
to be a ring announcer?

2245
01:47:17,998 --> 01:47:20,667
[Booker] I'm just saying,
give him his props.

2246
01:47:20,734 --> 01:47:24,838
[Vic] Starting to circle each other.
We talked about just three months ago.

2247
01:47:24,905 --> 01:47:28,842
Oh, yes. Well, of course, Ethan Page
just wants to take the easy road.

2248
01:47:28,909 --> 01:47:30,977
Wants everyone else to do the fighting.

2249
01:47:31,044 --> 01:47:32,579
Oh, Je'Von Evans.

2250
01:47:32,646 --> 01:47:36,116
I was just about to say, for Evans,
we talked about three months ago.

2251
01:47:36,183 --> 01:47:37,951
Debuting now to the main event.

2252
01:47:38,018 --> 01:47:42,255
It's even crazier to think that he turned
20 years old just two months ago.

2253
01:47:42,322 --> 01:47:45,425
[Booker] As well as he's in the ring
with somewhat of a mentor,

2254
01:47:45,492 --> 01:47:47,761
somebody he looks up to, Trick Williams.

2255
01:47:47,828 --> 01:47:51,364
How is that going to play out here
in this matchup? I'm wondering, Vic.

2256
01:47:51,431 --> 01:47:55,602
[Vic] Well, look at Trick Williams now.
He's got to keep his emotions in check.

2257
01:47:55,669 --> 01:47:58,772
Both he and Je'Von Evans
have been called out by Ethan Page

2258
01:47:58,839 --> 01:48:02,275
and by Shawn Spears for letting
their emotions get the better of them.

2259
01:48:02,342 --> 01:48:03,944
[Booker] No, man!

2260
01:48:04,010 --> 01:48:06,480
Big shot there right in front of us by--

2261
01:48:06,546 --> 01:48:09,115
Oh, yes, All Ego.

2262
01:48:09,182 --> 01:48:11,451
[Vic] No count out, no disqualification.

2263
01:48:11,518 --> 01:48:12,953
Everything is legal.

2264
01:48:13,019 --> 01:48:15,722
Only way to win,
pinfall, submission, in the ring.

2265
01:48:15,789 --> 01:48:18,458
You can do better than that?

2266
01:48:19,559 --> 01:48:22,329
[Vic] Now, what is it?
What sort of competition is this?

2267
01:48:22,395 --> 01:48:24,231
It's every man for himself.

2268
01:48:24,297 --> 01:48:25,832
[Booker] One-upmanship, Vic.

2269
01:48:25,899 --> 01:48:28,468
-You've got a problem with me?
-Get your ass in there.

2270
01:48:28,535 --> 01:48:30,770
You think a give a rat's ass
about these people, Shawn?

2271
01:48:30,837 --> 01:48:32,105
[Shawn] Let's find out.

2272
01:48:33,373 --> 01:48:35,141
[Vic] Finally. Let's go.

2273
01:48:35,208 --> 01:48:37,210
Let's see these two swing.

2274
01:48:37,277 --> 01:48:39,946
[Booker] You don't see
nobody running, do you? Do you?

2275
01:48:40,013 --> 01:48:41,548
[Vic] I see a lot of talking.

2276
01:48:41,615 --> 01:48:43,316
[crowd chanting] Page!

2277
01:48:43,383 --> 01:48:44,751
[Vic] Page. Spears.

2278
01:48:47,654 --> 01:48:50,156
For Shawn Spears,
if he could become champion,

2279
01:48:50,223 --> 01:48:53,026
-I can't imagine what he would say.
-[Booker] Oh, yes.

2280
01:48:53,093 --> 01:48:55,228
[Vic] Well, yes, both men, same idea.

2281
01:48:55,295 --> 01:48:57,297
Cut corners. Exactly.

2282
01:48:57,364 --> 01:48:59,566
Neither wants to get
in the ring and throw hands.

2283
01:48:59,633 --> 01:49:01,701
[Booker] You can't trust anybody.

2284
01:49:01,768 --> 01:49:03,870
[Vic] I hear what you're saying. I get it.

2285
01:49:03,937 --> 01:49:05,605
It's a great move. Great strategy.

2286
01:49:05,672 --> 01:49:08,875
[Vic] Spears taking out Williams.
There comes Je'Von Evans.

2287
01:49:08,942 --> 01:49:10,210
Getting bouncy!

2288
01:49:11,344 --> 01:49:14,481
As Williams,
catapulted into a neckbreaker.

2289
01:49:14,548 --> 01:49:17,350
[Booker] Talking about working
together right now.

2290
01:49:17,417 --> 01:49:19,219
[crowd clapping]

2291
01:49:19,286 --> 01:49:20,453
-Oh, yes.

2292
01:49:20,520 --> 01:49:22,822
[Vic] This is a moment Evans,
has dreamed about

2293
01:49:22,889 --> 01:49:25,091
since his grandmother
introduced him to wrestling.

2294
01:49:25,158 --> 01:49:27,861
He had a picture of his grandmother
in his locker today.

2295
01:49:27,928 --> 01:49:31,331
He said he feels her spirit
with him tonight

2296
01:49:31,398 --> 01:49:34,434
as he's getting ready
for this championship matchup,

2297
01:49:34,501 --> 01:49:37,771
as he was getting ready
for his first premium live event.

2298
01:49:37,837 --> 01:49:39,406
Into the cover. Shoulders down.

2299
01:49:39,472 --> 01:49:41,107
A quick kick out by Williams.

2300
01:49:41,174 --> 01:49:43,276
That boy getting bouncy one more time.

2301
01:49:43,343 --> 01:49:46,212
-[Booker] Oh, yes.
-[Vic] Another kick out by Trick.

2302
01:49:46,279 --> 01:49:48,248
[Booker] I never spoke about it, Vic.

2303
01:49:48,315 --> 01:49:51,585
He has a chance to become
the youngest NXT champion in history.

2304
01:49:51,651 --> 01:49:55,789
-How big is that, Vic?
-[Vic] It's huge. It's off the charts.

2305
01:49:55,855 --> 01:49:58,959
Is The Young OG living up to the hype
as he rolls back through.

2306
01:49:59,025 --> 01:50:00,493
Shoulders down. He kicked out.

2307
01:50:00,560 --> 01:50:02,495
[Booker] If he wins the championship,

2308
01:50:02,562 --> 01:50:04,965
he won't be The Young OG,
he'll be the OG of NXT.

2309
01:50:05,031 --> 01:50:06,900
[Shawn] Hey. That was close as hell.

2310
01:50:06,967 --> 01:50:09,369
[Vic] Evans letting Trick know
I was this close.

2311
01:50:09,436 --> 01:50:12,973
Since the night began, still trending
number one, NXT Heatwave.

2312
01:50:13,039 --> 01:50:15,976
This is our main event,
a matchup where Trick Williams,

2313
01:50:16,042 --> 01:50:17,978
the champion who just took down Evans,

2314
01:50:18,044 --> 01:50:21,314
doesn't need to be factored
in the decision to lose his title.

2315
01:50:21,381 --> 01:50:24,150
Big body slam by Trick,
and the champion now is rolling.

2316
01:50:24,217 --> 01:50:26,086
[Booker] That's called getting bouncy.

2317
01:50:26,152 --> 01:50:28,855
[Vic] I wanted to ask you this
as we're getting ready,

2318
01:50:28,922 --> 01:50:30,724
but the action is so back and forth.

2319
01:50:30,790 --> 01:50:35,161
Is Trick going to have to play
more defense than normal tonight?

2320
01:50:35,228 --> 01:50:38,365
[Booker] Trick has a 25% chance
of winning this match.

2321
01:50:38,431 --> 01:50:42,002
He has to have eyes
in the back of his head, just like--

2322
01:50:42,068 --> 01:50:44,804
-Here we go.
-[Vic] There's Spears with a steel chair.

2323
01:50:44,871 --> 01:50:48,341
-[Booker] Exactly what I'm talking about.
-[Vic] Again, it's legal.

2324
01:50:48,408 --> 01:50:51,077
That's one way to even the odds.

2325
01:50:51,144 --> 01:50:53,580
If you're Trick Williams,
a couple of sidekicks.

2326
01:50:53,647 --> 01:50:56,716
[Booker] Beautiful sidekicks.
I've seen that before.

2327
01:50:56,783 --> 01:51:00,253
[Vic] Trick proved he was no longer
a sidekick when he beat Carmelo Hayes,

2328
01:51:00,320 --> 01:51:02,522
had the biggest stand of all time.

2329
01:51:02,589 --> 01:51:05,358
Then he became champion,
and he's here tonight,

2330
01:51:05,425 --> 01:51:08,128
hitting everything that move,
taking down everybody,

2331
01:51:08,194 --> 01:51:10,463
all three competitors,
all three challengers.

2332
01:51:10,530 --> 01:51:12,132
Trick, two for one.

2333
01:51:12,198 --> 01:51:13,333
[Booker] I love that.

2334
01:51:13,400 --> 01:51:16,503
Trick looks very composed
here tonight in this matchup, Vic.

2335
01:51:17,137 --> 01:51:18,571
Oh!

2336
01:51:20,340 --> 01:51:22,709
[Vic] Trick was just able
to get out of the way.

2337
01:51:22,776 --> 01:51:26,312
Trick Williams who would love
to just put an end to this match.

2338
01:51:26,379 --> 01:51:28,948
[Booker] Right. There it is.
Let's go home. Oh, man.

2339
01:51:29,015 --> 01:51:30,583
[Vic] Evans able to kick out.

2340
01:51:30,650 --> 01:51:35,155
[Booker] Need to put a little more sauce
on that little chalula green next time.

2341
01:51:35,221 --> 01:51:37,223
[Vic] I got to agree with what you said,

2342
01:51:37,290 --> 01:51:39,793
Trick Williams doesn't
give a damn about the stats.

2343
01:51:39,859 --> 01:51:41,728
He doesn't give a damn about the math.

2344
01:51:41,795 --> 01:51:43,163
He has come out determined.

2345
01:51:43,229 --> 01:51:46,166
There has been a different look
in the eye of the champion

2346
01:51:46,232 --> 01:51:48,468
because of the odds that are against him.

2347
01:51:48,535 --> 01:51:52,072
[Booker] We're going to find
out a lot about Trick Williams tonight.

2348
01:51:52,138 --> 01:51:57,544
This boy, his tenacity, is a testament
of fortitude in a match like this.

2349
01:51:57,610 --> 01:51:59,312
Here we go.

2350
01:51:59,379 --> 01:52:02,682
[Vic] Again, another two-for-one
for Ethan Page.

2351
01:52:02,749 --> 01:52:05,719
Cody Rhodes, our WWE champion,
made the Battle Royal

2352
01:52:05,785 --> 01:52:08,088
to determine the number one contender,

2353
01:52:08,154 --> 01:52:11,724
and it was Je'Von Evans,
not Ethan Page, who won.

2354
01:52:11,791 --> 01:52:14,461
It was Page who protested,
then defeated Evans,

2355
01:52:14,527 --> 01:52:17,130
and it was a bunch of chaos
that led to this matchup.

2356
01:52:17,197 --> 01:52:20,767
As we're sitting here, Ava made
a hell of a decision for our main event.

2357
01:52:20,834 --> 01:52:23,436
[Booker] None of that matters
because, right now,

2358
01:52:23,503 --> 01:52:27,907
Ethan Page is in a matchup
for the NXT Championship.

2359
01:52:27,974 --> 01:52:30,610
He has a 25% chance,
just like everybody else.

2360
01:52:30,677 --> 01:52:31,678
Oh, man.

2361
01:52:31,745 --> 01:52:33,446
[Vic] Trick up. Big powerslam by Page.

2362
01:52:33,513 --> 01:52:37,083
Into the cover, hook of the leg,
and Evans, right shoulder up.

2363
01:52:41,988 --> 01:52:45,225
Ethan Page right now, is the one standing,

2364
01:52:45,291 --> 01:52:48,595
and this is at the type of pace
that Page likes.

2365
01:52:48,661 --> 01:52:50,463
Slow and methodical.

2366
01:52:50,530 --> 01:52:52,398
[Booker] It's something about this kid,
Ethan Page,

2367
01:52:52,465 --> 01:52:54,868
I can't quite put my finger on it.

2368
01:52:54,934 --> 01:52:58,338
It's like the wind, you can feel it,
but you can't touch it,

2369
01:52:58,404 --> 01:53:02,609
but you know it's there.
That's Ethan Page. Ouch!

2370
01:53:03,343 --> 01:53:09,449
[Vic] That was Shawn Spears,
who's not interested in the past.

2371
01:53:09,516 --> 01:53:13,019
He's looking towards the future,
and when you hear him speak,

2372
01:53:13,086 --> 01:53:15,388
he certainly knows
how to spin the narrative

2373
01:53:15,455 --> 01:53:17,590
as he's trying to capture the NXT title.

2374
01:53:17,657 --> 01:53:20,126
Now, Je'Von Evans, getting into the fray.

2375
01:53:24,097 --> 01:53:25,198
Evans.

2376
01:53:25,265 --> 01:53:27,634
[Booker] Oh, wait a minute.

2377
01:53:27,700 --> 01:53:28,968
[Vic] Look at this.

2378
01:53:30,737 --> 01:53:32,205
Evans is up.

2379
01:53:32,272 --> 01:53:33,807
Spears is caught.

2380
01:53:33,873 --> 01:53:35,375
Page is flying.

2381
01:53:36,743 --> 01:53:39,012
Unlikely allies, bodies are flying.

2382
01:53:39,078 --> 01:53:40,713
[Booker] Double pin, double pin!

2383
01:53:40,780 --> 01:53:44,050
[Vic] Both superstars, what would have
happened with a double pin?

2384
01:53:44,117 --> 01:53:46,319
[Booker] I don't know.
I can't answer that.

2385
01:53:46,386 --> 01:53:48,521
[Vic] Referee's discretion, as you see,

2386
01:53:48,588 --> 01:53:52,959
those here in the Scotiabank Arena
have been loud.

2387
01:53:53,026 --> 01:53:55,962
They've been on their feet all night long.

2388
01:53:56,029 --> 01:54:00,266
This is our main event, and
it almost ended with that double pin.

2389
01:54:01,801 --> 01:54:03,837
[crowd cheers]

2390
01:54:07,173 --> 01:54:09,609
It looks like we're revisiting
Las Vegas, Book.

2391
01:54:09,676 --> 01:54:13,046
Ethan Page, who came
into this company unsigned,

2392
01:54:13,112 --> 01:54:17,150
attacking Noam Dar,
then took out Trick Williams.

2393
01:54:17,217 --> 01:54:18,818
Williams hasn't forgotten.

2394
01:54:19,319 --> 01:54:20,820
[Booker screams]

2395
01:54:20,887 --> 01:54:22,956
-[Vic] What the hell?
-[Booker] It's legal.

2396
01:54:23,022 --> 01:54:24,991
-[Vic] It is legal.
-[Booker] It's legal.

2397
01:54:25,058 --> 01:54:28,695
-Oh, damn it, Shawn Spears.
Swinging for the fences.

2398
01:54:28,761 --> 01:54:31,664
[Vic and Booker cheer]

2399
01:54:33,433 --> 01:54:36,936
[crowd cheers]

2400
01:54:39,706 --> 01:54:42,108
[Vic] Spears said this week on the past,

2401
01:54:42,175 --> 01:54:44,544
"Failure will never overtake someone

2402
01:54:44,611 --> 01:54:48,047
if their determination to succeed
is strong enough."

2403
01:54:48,615 --> 01:54:53,953
What the hell is going through
the diabolical mind of Shawn Spears?

2404
01:54:54,020 --> 01:54:57,357
Trick Williams I necessarily would say
he'd be saving Je'Von Evans,

2405
01:54:57,423 --> 01:54:59,559
but there's every man for themselves.

2406
01:54:59,626 --> 01:55:02,595
-[Book] Big shot by Trick Williams.
-[Vic] Oh, you can say that again.

2407
01:55:02,662 --> 01:55:05,665
-[Book] But opportunity--
-[Vic] Now it's Evans perched up.

2408
01:55:05,732 --> 01:55:09,836
-[Booker] Yes!
-[Vic] C4 into the chair, into the corner.

2409
01:55:09,902 --> 01:55:11,971
Spears crawls into the cover.

2410
01:55:12,038 --> 01:55:15,208
Williams just got that right shoulder up.

2411
01:55:15,275 --> 01:55:18,911
[Booker] It was close right there.
Williams tries to coming out of that.

2412
01:55:18,978 --> 01:55:21,948
[Vic] Did you hear that?

2413
01:55:23,249 --> 01:55:25,118
Did you feel that?

2414
01:55:25,885 --> 01:55:31,891
Shawn Spears so close to holding
a championship

2415
01:55:31,958 --> 01:55:34,594
he has so desperately wanted to hold.

2416
01:55:34,661 --> 01:55:37,630
[Booker] Shawn Spears
is going for broke right now, Vic.

2417
01:55:37,697 --> 01:55:41,768
You can feel it, you can sense it,
and he's so close, so close, Vic.

2418
01:55:43,403 --> 01:55:45,371
[Vic] Looking for it one more time.

2419
01:55:45,438 --> 01:55:47,106
Evans able to hop right back up.

2420
01:55:47,173 --> 01:55:48,675
Nice super kick, and again,

2421
01:55:48,741 --> 01:55:52,779
all four of these men in this matchup,
in this main event.

2422
01:55:52,845 --> 01:55:55,448
It's Je'Von Evans,
the youngest of them all.

2423
01:55:55,515 --> 01:55:56,582
[Booker] He's quick.

2424
01:55:56,649 --> 01:55:58,151
[Vic] 20 years old.

2425
01:55:58,217 --> 01:56:00,954
No matter how damn quick you are,
that'll stop anybody,

2426
01:56:01,020 --> 01:56:03,122
but look at the bodies that are laid out.

2427
01:56:03,189 --> 01:56:05,792
[crowd cheers]

2428
01:56:06,526 --> 01:56:09,395
It's all for the NXT Championship.

2429
01:56:13,099 --> 01:56:16,803
Someone believes they are the champion.

2430
01:56:16,869 --> 01:56:22,475
Of these four men,
who will get to their feet first?

2431
01:56:25,345 --> 01:56:28,414
[crowd chanting] This is awesome!

2432
01:56:31,851 --> 01:56:34,454
-[Vic] You hear the NXT Universe?
-[Booker] Yes, man.

2433
01:56:34,520 --> 01:56:36,689
[Vic] What a weekend
it has been in Toronto.

2434
01:56:36,756 --> 01:56:38,958
[Booker] Who's going to get
that second wind?

2435
01:56:39,025 --> 01:56:40,893
[Vic] What a matchup this has been.

2436
01:56:42,962 --> 01:56:45,264
Trick, Trick, Trick.

2437
01:56:45,331 --> 01:56:47,800
-[Booker] Here we go again.
-[Vic] You said it.

2438
01:56:48,434 --> 01:56:50,703
You said it. There's no disqualifications.

2439
01:56:53,239 --> 01:56:54,674
It's all legal.

2440
01:56:55,641 --> 01:56:57,910
Oh, and Page doing his best.

2441
01:57:00,279 --> 01:57:02,548
[Booker] Taste the cold steel, Vic.

2442
01:57:03,116 --> 01:57:06,285
[Vic] I'm sure it didn't taste very good,
but take another look.

2443
01:57:06,352 --> 01:57:08,955
Ethan Page looking for that Ego's Edge.

2444
01:57:09,022 --> 01:57:11,057
Trick knew it.

2445
01:57:11,124 --> 01:57:13,693
How do you think
that tasted and felt, Book?

2446
01:57:13,760 --> 01:57:17,563
[Page] You're Ego, right?

2447
01:57:18,998 --> 01:57:22,668
[Vic] Page is talking-- Evans. Holy--

2448
01:57:22,735 --> 01:57:25,671
-Through the--
-[Book] What the--

2449
01:57:25,738 --> 01:57:29,375
-[Vic] Holy!
-[Booker] You got to be kidding me.

2450
01:57:31,878 --> 01:57:35,982
[crowd chanting] Holy shit!

2451
01:57:38,151 --> 01:57:40,420
[Vic] I'm glad they're saying it.

2452
01:57:40,486 --> 01:57:42,822
Je'Von Evans, how far did he jump?

2453
01:57:42,889 --> 01:57:43,890
[Booker] Wow.

2454
01:57:43,956 --> 01:57:45,458
-Look, I just looked at Evans.

2455
01:57:45,525 --> 01:57:47,827
Evans didn't want to do that
to Trick Williams.

2456
01:57:47,894 --> 01:57:50,329
Evans didn't want to do that
to his friend.

2457
01:57:50,396 --> 01:57:53,666
Je'Von Evans wants to be the damn champion
at 20 years old.

2458
01:57:53,733 --> 01:57:55,535
Evans is getting back into the ring.

2459
01:57:55,601 --> 01:57:58,404
He's got Spears in a precarious position.

2460
01:57:58,471 --> 01:58:01,107
Spears up to the top.
Evans is going to join him.

2461
01:58:01,174 --> 01:58:03,609
Evans right now over the top.
Evans got caught.

2462
01:58:03,676 --> 01:58:05,645
[Booker] He's caught.

2463
01:58:05,711 --> 01:58:11,284
[Vic] Spears with a C4,
looking for the three.

2464
01:58:11,350 --> 01:58:13,786
Page, Page into the cover.

2465
01:58:13,853 --> 01:58:17,190
[Booker] You've got to be kidding me.
Whoa!

2466
01:58:22,595 --> 01:58:27,967
[Vic] I can't believe what we are seeing
from these four.

2467
01:58:29,168 --> 01:58:32,905
[Booker] Ethan Page almost capitalized,
Vic, he was so close.

2468
01:58:34,841 --> 01:58:37,844
[crowd cheers]

2469
01:58:40,046 --> 01:58:44,283
[Vic] Ethan Page just wants
to feed his own ego,

2470
01:58:45,151 --> 01:58:47,720
and he's enjoying every second of this.

2471
01:58:47,787 --> 01:58:50,590
Williams hasn't moved
since going through the barricade.

2472
01:58:50,656 --> 01:58:53,459
[Booker] You think that's what it's about
for Ethan Page?

2473
01:58:53,526 --> 01:58:55,128
It's about the NXT Championship.

2474
01:58:55,194 --> 01:58:57,663
-[Vic] You're right.
-[Booker] It's not about ego.

2475
01:58:57,730 --> 01:59:00,333
[Vic] Page is up, and so is Shawn Spears.

2476
01:59:02,902 --> 01:59:05,238
This is the main event
of the NXT Heatwave.

2477
01:59:05,304 --> 01:59:06,606
[Booker grunts]

2478
01:59:06,672 --> 01:59:10,910
NXT Championship on the line, Fatal 4-Way.

2479
01:59:10,977 --> 01:59:12,712
All three challengers in the ring,

2480
01:59:12,778 --> 01:59:15,515
and finally, the champion
is back to his feet.

2481
01:59:15,581 --> 01:59:18,918
He's trying to make one hell of an impact.

2482
01:59:21,254 --> 01:59:24,323
No! Nasty spill to the outside.

2483
01:59:24,390 --> 01:59:26,125
[Booker] Bad, gnarly, gnarly spill.

2484
01:59:26,192 --> 01:59:27,994
[Vic] Talk about gnarly.

2485
01:59:28,060 --> 01:59:29,695
From the top.

2486
01:59:29,762 --> 01:59:32,565
[Booker] Young OG!
Young OG about to catalyze.

2487
01:59:32,632 --> 01:59:35,868
[Vic] He's bouncing all over the arena.

2488
01:59:35,935 --> 01:59:37,937
[Booker] That's it. We got a new champ.

2489
01:59:38,004 --> 01:59:41,674
-[Vic] Cover, count.
-[Booker] We got a new champ.

2490
01:59:41,741 --> 01:59:43,843
[Vic] Oh, man, Trick just saved his title.

2491
01:59:43,910 --> 01:59:46,345
[Booker laughs] You got to be kidding me.

2492
01:59:46,412 --> 01:59:49,248
[Vic] You just saved it, Trick,
that was so close.

2493
01:59:49,315 --> 01:59:51,617
[Booker] Unbelievable.

2494
01:59:51,684 --> 01:59:53,119
[Vic] Bam!

2495
01:59:55,154 --> 01:59:59,692
By the time Page got to his feet,
he didn't know what the hell hit him.

2496
02:00:01,160 --> 02:00:03,696
Now look who it's come down to.

2497
02:00:06,365 --> 02:00:08,401
[fighters arguing]

2498
02:00:08,467 --> 02:00:12,772
[Vic] Evans got to do what you got to do
until you get what you came for.

2499
02:00:12,838 --> 02:00:15,575
Trick Williams is fighting for his title,

2500
02:00:15,641 --> 02:00:18,844
Evans is fighting for his future,
fighting for history.

2501
02:00:20,813 --> 02:00:23,182
Oh! Nice kick by Williams.

2502
02:00:23,249 --> 02:00:26,219
Evans answering right back.

2503
02:00:26,285 --> 02:00:29,088
-[Booker] Beautiful work.
-[Vic] Pump kick didn't connect.

2504
02:00:29,155 --> 02:00:30,990
Evans got caught.

2505
02:00:31,057 --> 02:00:34,260
Both men with the same mindset.

2506
02:00:35,261 --> 02:00:38,531
[Booker] What a match
we have here tonight.

2507
02:00:38,598 --> 02:00:39,865
[Vic] What a main event.

2508
02:00:43,603 --> 02:00:46,806
[crowd chanting] Whoop That Trick!

2509
02:00:52,812 --> 02:00:55,281
[Vic] Je'Von Evans is looking at us.

2510
02:00:55,348 --> 02:00:58,250
[Booker] Look at the eyes.
Look at the eyes of that man.

2511
02:00:58,317 --> 02:01:01,821
-[Vic] Evans is looking at us, Booker.
-[Booker] Look at the eyes, Vic.

2512
02:01:01,887 --> 02:01:04,023
[Vic] Je'Von Evans-- Oh!

2513
02:01:04,090 --> 02:01:06,659
Well, he had some intentions in his mind.

2514
02:01:06,726 --> 02:01:09,028
Trick William right out here
in front of us and

2515
02:01:09,862 --> 02:01:13,599
Shawn Spears somehow back to his--
What the?

2516
02:01:16,836 --> 02:01:18,537
What's Spears thinking?

2517
02:01:19,171 --> 02:01:21,107
[Booker] He's thinking about something.

2518
02:01:23,342 --> 02:01:25,111
[Vic] We talk about risks.

2519
02:01:25,177 --> 02:01:27,813
This is quite the risk from Shawn Spears.

2520
02:01:27,880 --> 02:01:29,649
[Booker] He's not going to do that.

2521
02:01:29,715 --> 02:01:33,753
-[Vic] Yes, he's not going to do this.
-[Booker] He's thinking about it.

2522
02:01:33,819 --> 02:01:36,455
[Vic] This might take Spears
out of the match.

2523
02:01:36,522 --> 02:01:39,558
The tension building here in Toronto.

2524
02:01:40,960 --> 02:01:45,364
[Booker] Just goes to show you
what that title means to these men, Vic.

2525
02:01:45,431 --> 02:01:47,133
Oh, I don't like this at all.

2526
02:01:47,199 --> 02:01:52,004
[Vic] Remember, it was Spears
who called out Evans for his age.

2527
02:01:52,071 --> 02:01:53,105
[Booker] Wow.

2528
02:01:53,172 --> 02:01:57,043
[Vic] Age is just a number
when you can do things that Evans can do.

2529
02:01:57,109 --> 02:01:59,078
[Booker] Wow! Look at this, cover there.

2530
02:01:59,145 --> 02:02:01,080
-[Vic] Cover.
-[Booker] Beautiful.

2531
02:02:01,147 --> 02:02:04,016
[Vic] Again, playing defense
is Trick Williams.

2532
02:02:04,083 --> 02:02:07,219
[Booker] He's got to have eyes
in the back of his head tonight.

2533
02:02:07,286 --> 02:02:09,388
[Vic] He doesn't have
to be factored, Book.

2534
02:02:09,455 --> 02:02:11,090
This is why I asked you earlier.

2535
02:02:11,157 --> 02:02:14,393
Is he going to be on the defense
more than being on the offense?

2536
02:02:26,472 --> 02:02:27,840
Book.

2537
02:02:31,043 --> 02:02:32,244
Booker.

2538
02:02:32,311 --> 02:02:37,316
Book, Trick didn't have a choice.
Yes, that's his friend,

2539
02:02:37,383 --> 02:02:40,953
but now the mathematical odds
we've been talking about

2540
02:02:41,020 --> 02:02:43,856
have just increased for the champion.

2541
02:02:43,923 --> 02:02:46,892
[Booker] Vic, just broke that kid
in half right there.

2542
02:02:46,959 --> 02:02:48,461
He had to do it.

2543
02:02:51,497 --> 02:02:54,500
[crowd chanting] Rest in peace!

2544
02:02:55,301 --> 02:02:58,437
[Vic] Look, Trick's trying
to fire himself back up.

2545
02:02:59,872 --> 02:03:01,807
Trick's trying to refocus.

2546
02:03:04,210 --> 02:03:07,313
Trick right now,
with Shawn Spears in his sights.

2547
02:03:08,147 --> 02:03:10,616
Spears just took a half step backwards.

2548
02:03:10,683 --> 02:03:12,051
[Booker] Oh…

2549
02:03:12,118 --> 02:03:14,387
[Vic] He was able to sidestep
the Trick shot.

2550
02:03:14,453 --> 02:03:17,523
-[Booker] Oh, this is it.
-[Vic] To lock in the sharpshooter.

2551
02:03:17,590 --> 02:03:19,825
Somewhere Bret Hart is smiling.

2552
02:03:19,892 --> 02:03:25,131
Can Shawn Spears get Trick Williams
to tap to the sharpshooter in Canada?

2553
02:03:25,197 --> 02:03:28,434
Ethan Page, though, going
to break up all that real quick,

2554
02:03:28,501 --> 02:03:32,138
but Ethan Page,
is it going to pay off for Page?

2555
02:03:32,204 --> 02:03:34,740
[Booker] Trying to capitalize.
Oh, that could be it.

2556
02:03:34,807 --> 02:03:37,276
[Vic] Ego's Edge. Got all of it.

2557
02:03:37,343 --> 02:03:42,081
Cover, and there's Je'Von Evans
breaking up the count.

2558
02:03:42,715 --> 02:03:45,017
I don't know how the hell
Evans is even moving.

2559
02:03:45,084 --> 02:03:46,051
[Booker] Wow.

2560
02:03:48,921 --> 02:03:52,892
[Vic] We talked about Evans and the rib
injury he sustained several weeks ago.

2561
02:03:52,958 --> 02:03:55,528
That certainly has had
to have gotten reaggravated

2562
02:03:55,594 --> 02:04:00,666
after bouncing off the table,
and, right now, Ethan Page is pissed off.

2563
02:04:00,733 --> 02:04:02,568
Ethan Page is angry.

2564
02:04:02,635 --> 02:04:05,404
Ethan Page mean streak is coming out.

2565
02:04:05,471 --> 02:04:08,140
[Booker] He's losing his cool, Vic.
I don't like that.

2566
02:04:08,207 --> 02:04:11,277
[Vic] Remember, it was Ethan Page
who was talking about Trick

2567
02:04:11,343 --> 02:04:15,147
and Je'Von needing to keep
their emotions in check.

2568
02:04:16,515 --> 02:04:19,752
One more time another's Ego's Edge.

2569
02:04:19,819 --> 02:04:23,389
Spears saving things for a moment.

2570
02:04:23,455 --> 02:04:24,990
[all] Oh!

2571
02:04:25,057 --> 02:04:26,392
[Vic] Trick shot.

2572
02:04:26,459 --> 02:04:29,662
Trick shot wiped out Evans,
Trick shot to Page.

2573
02:04:29,728 --> 02:04:32,364
-[Booker] Oh. What the--
-[Vic] What?

2574
02:04:32,431 --> 02:04:34,099
[bell rings]

2575
02:04:34,166 --> 02:04:36,335
[Vic] What the hell?

2576
02:04:36,402 --> 02:04:38,804
[Ethan Page's theme]

2577
02:04:38,871 --> 02:04:43,242
[male announcer] Here is your winner

2578
02:04:43,309 --> 02:04:47,980
and the new NXT champion,

2579
02:04:49,148 --> 02:04:54,253
"All Ego" Ethan Page.

2580
02:05:01,694 --> 02:05:03,662
[Vic] What the hell?

2581
02:05:04,296 --> 02:05:07,600
[Booker] Didn't I tell you?
There's something about him.

2582
02:05:11,971 --> 02:05:16,308
[Vic] Trick Williams right here
in front of us is pissed.

2583
02:05:16,375 --> 02:05:21,513
Trick Williams is beside himself
right now and rightfully so.

2584
02:05:31,223 --> 02:05:36,328
I'm just as stunned as the rest
of the NXT Universe.

2585
02:05:43,102 --> 02:05:45,371
We talked about this matchup.

2586
02:05:45,437 --> 02:05:47,973
Both those men proved why they're in it.

2587
02:05:48,040 --> 02:05:50,276
Je'Von Evans went to broke,

2588
02:05:50,342 --> 02:05:54,413
he was able to stay in this matchup,
he risked it all, Booker.

2589
02:05:54,480 --> 02:05:58,317
At 20 years old, the future
is bright, no doubt about it.

2590
02:05:58,384 --> 02:06:01,654
When you're able to pull off
feats of athleticism like this,

2591
02:06:01,720 --> 02:06:05,457
this man is
the innovator of aerial insanity.

2592
02:06:05,524 --> 02:06:08,160
He was this close to becoming champion,

2593
02:06:08,227 --> 02:06:12,231
but it was Trick Williams who was
playing defense all night long.

2594
02:06:12,298 --> 02:06:14,166
He knew what the odds were.

2595
02:06:14,233 --> 02:06:16,335
He had to do things he didn't want to do

2596
02:06:16,402 --> 02:06:19,838
and right here,
the Ego's Edge hit for Ethan Page.

2597
02:06:19,905 --> 02:06:22,841
Trick Williams got some help from his boy

2598
02:06:22,908 --> 02:06:25,344
to continue this matchup,
to keep it going,

2599
02:06:25,411 --> 02:06:28,113
but for Trick Williams,
the Trick shot connected.

2600
02:06:28,180 --> 02:06:32,751
It wiped out Evans, he hit another one
on Ethan Page, who fell into the cover.

2601
02:06:32,818 --> 02:06:37,957
Spears from behind, and Trick Williams
just couldn't get to break up the cover.

2602
02:06:38,023 --> 02:06:40,893
It's not like Shawn Spears
wanted Trick to lose.

2603
02:06:40,960 --> 02:06:43,128
It's just what the hell happened.

2604
02:06:43,195 --> 02:06:45,531
Williams is heartbroken right now.

2605
02:06:46,098 --> 02:06:49,468
Trick Williams is
beside himself right now.

2606
02:06:49,535 --> 02:06:52,171
Shawn Spears is defeated,

2607
02:06:52,237 --> 02:06:55,774
and I can only imagine the Ego now

2608
02:06:56,976 --> 02:06:58,978
with Ethan Page

2609
02:07:00,646 --> 02:07:05,551
because that is
the new face right there, of NXT.

2610
02:07:12,725 --> 02:07:16,428
Subtitles: María Virginia Conte
& Valeria LoZito
't get to break up the cover.
