[epic music]
[narrator] Then.
Now.
Forever.
Together.
-[crowd cheering] -[laughing]
No, you are not imagining things.
The Rascalz are on NXT right now.
The gang is back together. It's time to blow everybody's mind.
Hey that means bad news for The Gallus Boys. Let's get it!
-[audience booing] -The Rascalz, eh?
This will be the shortest reunion in NXT history.
I hate everybody from TNA,
especially these three.
Aye, them in that walking meme.
"Oh, they broke the Internet."
Aye, well, we're going to break you and send you back to where you came from.
["Sound the Alarm" playing]
[Vic] Well, buckle up, Book,
because we're kicking off tonight with a high-octane six men encounter.
[bell ringing]
[announcer] The following contest is a six-man tag team match
scheduled for one fall.
Introducing first
Trey Miguel, Zachary Wentz and Wes Lee,
The Rascalz!
[Vic] It's been nearly four years
since these men last competed together.
It was quite the reunion last week, Book.
Something no one thought they would ever see.
[Booker] Rascalz, huh?
[Vic] Yeah, The Rascalz.
[Booker] All right.
[Vic] I mean just think about Wes Lee's face last week.
It was priceless. Butterfly moment,
because Lee was possibly moments away
from announcing something that no one wanted to hear.
[Booker] Well, sometimes, you need your friends to save you from yourself,
and I think that's what that was last week.
[Vic] Listen to this place!
[Booker] They're going crazy! They love these kids!
-["Thicker Than Blood" playing] -[audience booing]
[Joe] Come back down!
[announcer] And their opponents,
Wolfgang, Mark and Joe Coffey,
Gallus!
[Vic] Well, it didn't take long for the mood to change,
and it didn't take long
for Gallus to tell Wentz and Trey to go back to TNA.
[Booker] You know what I said about The Rascalz, right? These are kids.
We're looking at three grown-ass men right here.
We're talking about Gallus, man!
Oh yeah! It's about to get ugly, son!
[Vic] Well, to elaborate, Gallus told Trey, told Zack: "You are not--"
[Booker] Woah, which one is Trey and which one is Zack?
[Vic] Well Zack, if you've watched the show in the past,
obviously we know which one he is,
and Trey Miguel is kicking things off for The Rascalz.
-[Booker] Okay. just making sure. -[Vic] Against Mark Coffey.
That's Mark Coffey, not Joe Coffey. He's on the outside.
Making sure you're on your game here tonight.
[Booker] He's just as good to the last drop as his brother. Here we go.
Getting started very, very quickly these Rascalz.
We talk about issues, we also know Gallus has had issues with…
-[Booker] Don't! Don't say it! -[Vic] A fellow Scot.
[Booker] Don't say it, okay? Please.
[Vic] I'll just move on to the Rascalz then,
who've had their issues with another trio here in NXT,
that being the No Quarter Catch Crew,
but right now operating as a well-oiled machine after four years are The Rascalz.
And when they're on the same page, this trio is elegance in motion.
[Booker] The Rascalz still have a big piece of the action. They know how deep--
[Vic] Into the cover.
And a kick out by Wentz. So far, it's been Wentz,
it's been Trey Miguel, TNA wrestlers here kicking things off.
[Booker] [grunts] Yes!
[Vic] For The Rascalz but with one forearm shiver,
goes back to your point at the start.
Grown-ass men.
[Booker] I've had a chance to talk to Wolfgang just last week.
I asked them: "How long have you guys been doing this?"
They said: "Since day one."
Oh, yes, man. And they're about to take over here in this division
back all the way to the tag team.
Tap. Yes, I love it!
[Vic] Well, tag got made, and in comes Joe Coffey!
[Booker] That's my boy right here, Joe Coffey.
Good to the last drop.
About to drop the hammer on this boy right here.
-[audience chanting] Rascalz! Rascalz! -[Vic] As Wentz flying through!
[Booker] Oh, damn!
[Vic] And The Rascalz are right back on top.
Rascalz, MSK, however you wanna look at them.
Former NXT Tag Team Champions, Dusty Cup winners.
And Wes Lee entering the matchup.
TNA Tag Team Champions. And Wes Lee.
-[audience chanting] Wes! Wes! -[Vic] The smile back on his face.
And the NXT Universe squarely in his corner.
[audience chanting] Wes! Wes! Wes! [wooing]
[Vic] Right back through.
[crowd wooing]
[Vic] And it's good to see Wes Lee back having fun.
[Vic] Wes Lee is having a lot of fun right there,
but this business, you know, Vic, it's not about friends.
-[Booker] It's not about fun. -[Vic] Shoulders down!
[Booker] It's about making history.
[Vic] These guys, as we talked about, have not missed a beat!
[crowd cheering]
MSK, Rascalz, however you wanna put it together,
they are electric here tonight.
As the NXT Universe, they've been waiting for this matchup.
They did take over social media.
While we're kicking the night off with a six-man tag team match,
we got a six-person mixed tag team matchup
coming up a little bit later, as a tag was made.
Wolfgang is now legal in our massive main event…
[Booker] Big shot.
[Vic] …for the North American Championship.
[Booker] Ooh, voodoo continuity right there with The Gallus Boys.
I mean, they did that, it was almost like… like, uh, telepathy.
[Vic] Into the cover, up a body slam and a kickout.
And it was Wolfgang who said he would use each member to get the other.
Wolfgang, just a nasty, nasty individual.
[Booker] That's what I was talking about, these Rascalz just showing up.
Why do you think The Rascalz are here?
Do you think they're going back to save Wes Lee?
Hell no, man. They want a piece of the action in this tag team division.
[Vic] Wes Lee trying his best to fight back against Wolfgang,
and there's Wolfgang with his one knee buckling the body of Wes Lee.
When you talk about sudden game-changing offense,
high impact, that is what Gallus does with one right hand.
With one clubbing blow, they can change the complexion of a matchup
As Joe Coffey has checked in,
and the Coffey brothers going to work on Wes Lee.
[Booker] They're a great trio, Vic, I mean.
Not since The Freebirds have I seen a trio like The Gallus Boys.
[Vic] How about New Day?
[Booker] Like I said, not since the Freebirds
have I seen a trio like The Gallus Boys.
[Vic] Tag was made. Mark Coffey coming right back in.
A look of worry on the rest of The Rascalz's faces
as Gallus now taking over, but… Wes Lee! And there's that sudden impact!
And things starting to break down. But look at Wolfgang.
[crowd cheering]
[Vic] Miguel got dropped! He gets buckled by Joe Coffey. Wentz coming in.
-[Vic] Big knee on the drop! -[Booker] Oh, man!
-[Vic] Things starting to break down! -[Booker] Oh, yes, baby.
[Vic] As Wes Lee flying in! All six men down!
And, you know, I'm sure someone is watching with great interest.
[Booker] Whoa, whoa! Don't say it, Vic, please!
[Vic] Joe Hendry, that's who's watching with great interest!
-♪ Say his name and he appears ♪ -[Vic] Oh, my god. It worked!
♪ I believe in Joe Hendry ♪
[audience clapping]
♪ I believe in Joe Hendry ♪
["I Believe in Joe Hendry" playing]
[Vic] He's here, Booker!
But why?
Joe Hendry live on NXT, but why?
♪ I believe in Joe Hendry ♪
We're back live on NXT. And I said: "Why is Joe Hendry here?"
To join us on commentary! Man, this is awesome!
-[Vic] Aren't you excited? -[Booker] Why are you here, man?
[Booker] Why are you here?
[Joe] Booker, tell me you didn't just say that.
You know, I think if you heard my song another five times you would love it.
[Vic] You see what he did there?
[audience clapping]
[Vic] Come on. Why are you staring at him? He's a guest on commentary.
-[Vic] I'm excited to have you. -[Joe] Thank you, Vic.
[Vic] But, as we see, Gallus in control of this six-man tag team matchup.
Gallus predicted this will be the shortest reunion ever,
that being the reunion of The Rascalz, but I need to ask you Joe, I mean,
what's your thoughts and feelings of Gallus calling you a phony Scot?
[Joe] Well, look, just because
you can understand what I say more clearly, that doesn't mean that…
-[Joe] Oh, my goodness. -[Booker] I like these Rascalz.
-[Vic] I wanna hear from Joe. -[Booker] I'm just saying.
[Vic] And Joe, they are flowing right now. I believe in The Rascalz.
I believe in you as well. As Wentz to the top. Looking down!
[Vic] Bam! Dropkick!
[cheering and applause]
[Vic] Rascalz flowing!
[Booker] Rascalz are flowing. You might want to get some ChapStick, Vic.
[Vic] Oh, this coming from you. Nice takedown, though, by Wentz. And bam!
[Booker] Beautiful. Beautiful. This kid's got talent.
[cheering and applause]
[Vic] You've got to look at Gallus, too, Joe,
as this matchup is starting to swing in the favor of The Rascalz.
You gotta like what you're seeing from The Rascalz
against guys that have been talking down to you, that being Gallus.
[Joe] Absolutely. You've got to give respect where it's due.
Gallus are unbelievably tough.
I've travelled up and down the road for years with these guys.
-[Booker] Woah! -[Joe] But The Rascalz…
[Vic] Into the cover, and Wolfgang just able to break this up!
[cheering and applause]
[Vic] Big drop kick! Rascalz taking over.
-[Vic] NXT Universe on their feet. -[Booker] Wow. Double tag. You're right.
[Booker] This team hasn't lost a beat, Vic.
[Vic] They have not. They've been on their feet since the start.
They're sitting down, ready for what is going to happen.
-[Booker] The hell was that? -[Vic] They are taking a deep breath.
[Vic] Because they know that in moments The Rascalz are going to take flight.
And look at Gallus.
Trying to stop-- DDT on the outside!
Joe, things are breaking down right now.
[Joe] Absolutely, but this is tag team wrestling as its finest.
Who doesn't love a little Rascalz reunion?
[Booker] This is unbelievable.
[Vic] Joe, I've been saying that since the beginning
and the human curmudgeon to my right has been trying to down play it, but Wentz…
[Booker] What are you talking about? It's the first time I've seen these guys.
[Vic] You're angry at everything.
He's a hater. You'll learn that all Booker T likes to do is hate.
[Booker] Look, man, I give credit where credit is due.
[Vic] Hold on, we're going to take flight!
[crowd cheering]
[Vic] He's thinking about it.
[crowd wooing]
[Vic] NXT Universe rising to the rescue!
[cheering and applause]
[Booker] This kid is unbelievable.
He's unbelievable. He's a special, special talent this Wes Lee.
[crowd chanting] NXT! NXT! NXT!
[Vic] I guess Gallus wasn't right. Maybe they aren't the closest trio, Book.
[Booker] Gallus, they are the closest trio.
Established back in 2018. They are brothers to the bone, Vic.
Right now, this is just a moment. This is just a moment.
Ebbs and flows, that's the way matches go. Right, Hendry? Right? You would know.
[Joe] Booker, where is this hostility coming from?
[Vic] I've been asking that for years.
-[Vic] But off the stomp. Into the cover. -[audience] One! Two! Three!
[bell ringing]
[Vic] It's The Rascalz's victorious reunion tonight!
["Sound the Alarm" playing]
[announcer] Here are your winners, The Rascalz!
-[crowd cheering] -[Vic] What a victory!
[Vic] And once again the NXT Universe rising to their feet.
Standing ovation for these three.
And Wes Lee throwing caution to the wind,
wiping out every body that was left standing.
And in the end… Bam!
The Rascalz once again victorious.
-[Vic] As the Rascalz ride again. -[audience] One! Two! Three!
[Vic] That's all night, and that's all day.
[Booker] Could you tell me what was that all about?
What the hell was Joe Hendry here for? Why do we need him here?
[Vic] Keep saying his name, he's going to keep appearing.
[Booker] What do we need him here for? Him. Why do we need him?
Not that, him. What do we need him out here for?
[Vic] Would you just stop hating?
What a victory for The Rascalz and what an appearance
from our guest commentator here tonight, Joe Hendry!
Well, maybe if Gallus had believed just a little bit more,
they might have picked up the victory.
But you know who doesn't have a problem with believing? Joe Hendry.
[dramatic music]
[Joe] Last week, new NXT Champion Ethan Page kicked off NXT
bragging about falling into winning the title at Heatwave.
Former champ Trick Williams took issue with that,
drawing out Shawn Spears and Je'Von Evans
Before you knew it, player, we had a tag match main event.
Holler!
[Joe] Brooks Jensen took out Evans,
leaving the former champion to fight two-on-one,
Come on! We've got to get some medical!
[Joe] Unless he believed, believed in one sensation.
Finally, Trick Williams said his name and he appeared.
♪ I believe in Joe Hendry ♪
[Joe] And so the dream team was made.
The hottest superstar in NXT, Trick Williams,
and the answer to all life's problems, Joe Hendry.
A team no one could have possibly imagined,
now a reality.
Oro Mensah chased Ethan Page away
and all the stars aligned for Hendry and Williams to pick up the victory,
leaving the WWE Universe all thinking the same thing:
"I believe in Joe Hendry."
[dramatic music ends]
Coming up next we hear from the NXT Women's Champion, Roxanne Perez.
-[Kelly] With me now, Chase University. -[Thea] Did you just say Roxanne Sex?
-[Kelly] Yes. -[Thea] I have to go!
[unintelligible crosstalk]
Ridge, keep an eye on her, please.
-[Riley] It's just us. -[Andre] We got this.
Yes. Mr. Chase, a huge night for Chase U,
as Duke Hudson challenges for the NXT North American Championship.
Listen, when Duke Hudson is on his A game,
there are few superstars that can touch him.
He understands the opportunity he has tonight.
He also understands that these opportunities don't come very often,
so he has to cash in.
Tonight, the MVP of Chase University shows up, shows out,
and becomes the new NXT North American Champion.
I was worried for Duke at first, but,
you know, he spent the last three years proving all the haters wrong.
Tonight, he is gonna beat the unbeatable, do the unthinkable
and bring home that North American Championship to Chase U.
Hell, yeah.
Thank you very much, guys.
It's Oba Femi versus Duke Hudson in our main event.
Vic, Booker, back to you.
-[hip hop music playing] -[Vic] Thank you very much.
[Vic] Massive main event still to come.
She's brash, she's arrogant but she's our Women's Champion,
the prodigy, Roxanne Perez is next.
Oh, I sure did, Ava, because we are officially one week into the era of Ego,
and I have some very valid complaints as your champion.
NXT has become an extremely unsafe work environment.
-[Ethan] And I would love to know how-- -[Oro] Where's that Ethan?
-[Oro] Hey, come over here! -[Ava] No, no, no! No! No!
[Ava] You guys are not doing this here! No! Not in my office!
This is exactly what I was talking about.
How can I defend this title with honor and dignity when I got to deal with this?
How about you shut your mouth and defend that title against me, huh?
-[Ethan] What a great idea, Ava! -[mockingly imitates]
Why not reward terrible behavior? Hey, listen up, pal.
Your fantasy of thinking you deserve a shot at this,
that's never going to happen.
Not only that, you have no chance in hell of ever pinning my shoulders to the mat.
One, two, three!
All right. You know what? I don't know what he's on about,
but no, you are not in the title picture right know.
-Ava, you cannot do me like that. -You are not listening.
You keep attacking him every week, so no.
-You know what? It's okay. -That's your boss.
The longer you run, listen, the longer you run,
the worse it's going to get for you.
You hear me? Huh?
Okay. Listen.
You want to defend your title so bad? Do it tonight.
Uh… Okay.
-[Ava] Mm-hmm -[Ethan] That's a great idea.
And I'm actually going to do it against someone with honor and dignity unlike you.
Ethan Page is going to defend his title for the first time tonight against, uh,
-[Ethan] Dante Chen! -[Ava] I love that.
-[crowd cheering] -[Oro] Can't wait 'til he kicks your ass.
He will beat you up. I'll be watching!
-[Ava] Enough, get out. Go. -[unintelligible crosstalk]
It sounds like we have ourselves an NXT Championship match tonight.
I like the idea, Dante Chen!
About time you liked something, but I do have another idea you may like,
because two weeks from tonight, it's the Great American Bash.
It's going to be a two-week special on Syfy,
Great American Bash, a summer tradition, and…
-Perhaps your best event ever. -What's my record?
-Seven in-- -Seven in one.
-You're telling us for the next two weeks. -Yeah, baby! [laughs]
["All Fall Down" playing]
[Vic] Well, from one champion to another.
-[Vic] It's The Prodigy! -[Booker] Thank you, thank you.
[announcer] Ladies and gentlemen,
please welcome
the NXT Women's Champion,
Roxanne Perez!
[Vic] What are you thanking me for?
[Booker] For giving her her props, The Prodigy!
[Vic] I give her her props every single time she's out here!
[Booker] She is truly one of the best in this business right now,
today in 2024.
Give her her props, Vic. Oh, yes, man!
[crowd heckling]
So what's it going to take
for everyone to start treating me
like the champion that I am?
[crowd yelling]
Last Sunday, I defeated the biggest badass the NXT has,
retained my title, added another name to the resume,
and you'd think that because of that, I'd be getting my flowers.
I mean, the WWE Universe
is literally witnessing greatness before their eyes,
and what do they do?
[crowd chatter]
They give Lola Vice,
the loser of the match, a standing ovation!
[laughs] Hello?
It should have been me!
You guys don't deserve to watch a once-in-a-lifetime performer like me.
You really don't.
At 22 years old, I am just so damn good,
and I haven't even hit my prime yet.
[cheering and applause]
How untouchable am I going to be in five years? [laughs]
Because I'm not competing with anyone inside that locker room,
I'm competing with the history books.
[wooing]
And speaking of history, because I sure know mine,
Thirteen years ago tomorrow,
Charlotte flair had her very first NXT TV match.
And 13 years later,
she's a 14-time world champion.
-[applause] -[Roxanne] The queen.
A future hall-of-famer.
But guess what? [laughs]
I'm on pace to shatter all of her records.
Bayley's,
Asuka's,
Rhea's.
[audience members yelling]
But…
you know what really, really pisses me off?
Is the fact that all of the talk online is:
"When Julia comes to NXT, Roxanne's in trouble!"
"When Stephania Vaquer comes,
she's going to run through the NXT Women's Division!"
Well, you know what?
Why don't you go ahead and roll out a red carpet for them?
Matter of fact, roll out the red carpet
for any talent around the world
because when they step inside the ring with me,
no one compares to The Prodigy.
[crowd chatter]
Which is why I find it quite laughable
that, uh, Thea Hail is my next opponent.
[laughs]
I mean come on, she has as good of a chance to beat me
as Duke Hudson has to beat Oba Femi tonight.
["Accomplished" playing]
[Thea] Roxanne!
Roxanne!
Seriously?
No, no.
You know what your problem is? It's that you come in here
and you sit and you act like everyone owes you respect.
[audience wooing]
[Thea] But in reality
nobody owes you anything.
And honestly, you barely escaped Heatwave with your title,
so…
I know our paths have never really crossed,
but I… I honestly…
used to really look up to you.
I thought: "Me and Roxanne, you know, we're really not that different."
I thought… like… the fact that you'd even come out here
and say that it's laughable that I'm your next opponent?
You of all people know what it's like to be underestimated.
You know what it's like to have people doubt you.
Seriously?
So go ahead, Roxanne,
doubt me.
Because I've broken doubters' noses.
-[Thea] I fractured doubters' arms. -[audience cheering]
I've defeated doubters that I was never supposed to beat.
[cheering]
So at the Great American Bash,
go ahead, open up that history book that you say you want to rewrite,
and then hand me the pen
so I can write: "Thea Hail:
one of the youngest NXT Women's Champions!"
[cheering and applause]
Aww, Thea,
you're so brave coming out here without your little chaperones! [laughs]
But, look, I… I'm not underestimating you,
I just know that, as long as I'm holding this Championship,
it's not going to be your time, or anybody else's time, for that matter.
Here, let me give you some advice, okay?
You're not ready.
I mean, I mean, coming from someone that knows, you know,
I know exactly what it's like to lose a shot at this title,
how you just spiral,
lose control.
I mean, let's not forget when Mr. Chase threw in the towel.
Thea, this championship
is for big girls,
not children.
And you can go on and on about how you're a grown-ass woman,
but you're nothing but a little girl!
[audience] Ooh!
[Vic] Oh, and a cheap shot from the champion!
But look at Thea Hail!
[audience yelling]
-[Vic] And there's The Prodigy. -[Booker] Is she legit?
[Vic] I hear what you're saying but this is turning out…
This is breaking out into a fight!
And Thea's right.
She's beaten down doubters. She's on top right now!
[Booker] Somebody should stop this.
[Vic] Ridge Holland was close enough nearby,
but there's one thing for sure as other referees make their way down,
this isn't the same Thea Hail that Perez one knew.
["Accomplished" playing]
[Vic] And can Thea etch her name in the history books?
Only time will tell.
It's so cute!
-[Kelly] Kelani, can I get a word? -[Kelani] Of course! Hey, Kelly.
Hello. Still NXT Women's North American Champion,
and an amazing match against Sol Ruca at Heatwave.
Thank you. Yeah, Sol is incredible.
I had to dig down deep and pull out some crazy moves to keep this title.
But when one challenge ends,
there's always another one right around the corner,
and I did just hear Roxie mention Julia and Stephanie Vaquer,
which means this Women's Division is just getting stronger,
and, as champion, I'm going to keep upping my game.
Kelly, what are you looking at?
[audience yelling]
-[Kelani] That was weird, right? -[Kelly] Yeah.
[Vic] Oh, I can agree with Kelani.
When talking about odd behavior, that can also be described
when we talk about Brooks Jensen. Just take a look at this timeline.
This happened right in front of us. That would lead to Shawn Spears
becoming the first man to pin Trick Williams
since Trick won the NXT Championship.
And then you move on to an incident right to our right.
[Wes] You see, when I came back, I was gunning for…
And everything going on, and everything that's going on tonight--
[hip hop music playing]
-[Booker] The hell is going on? -[Vic] Don't pay attention to it.
[Booker] Where the hell is security? Somebody get security!
[Vic] And I'll say the same thing I said on that night,
there was no reason to draw attention to it.
-["Who Want It" Playing] -[cheering]
[bell ringing]
[announcer] The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
Introducing first, Je'Von Evans!
[Vic] Because all those incidents have led to tonight,
we know this man is bouncy and angry,
and he's looking for payback against Brooks Jensen, next.
Lola Vice, you unfortunately did not capture the NXT Women's Championship.
However, you certainly proved at Heatwave that you belong in the main event picture.
Kelly, I left everything I had in that ring.
Mira, I followed through the pain, I nearly broke my hand,
and Roxanne still couldn't tap me out.
She had to end me with the pop rocks five times, cinco.
[speaking Spanish] Next time, nothing Roxanne does will be enough.
[Fallon] Aww, you see, this is exactly what we were talking about, rookie.
You had your title shot and you lost.
Oh, I have a great idea.
Why don't you just go back to MMA?
Considering you made a bigger name for yourself while you were here.
Kudos to you, by the way.
I'm sure the American Top Team would welcome you back with open arms.
We sure will miss you.
'Cause clearly, rookie, this isn't for you.
You keep saying rookie. Pero, isn't she a rookie?
I'm not going anywhere.
She's different. She's with us,
I'm the exception.
But, hey, you are a fighter. So go fight.
Yeah, I am a fighter,
and I'm looking at my opponent.
[Vic] I don't think that went as planned. That terrible trio.
["Big Hair Day" playing]
[announcer] And his opponent, accompanied to the ring by Josh Briggs,
Brooks Jensen!
-[Josh] Don't do something stupid. -[Brooks] Briggs, I don't need you.
Dude, I vouched for you.
You're my responsibility.
Don't do something stupid.
[cheering and applause]
[Vic] Just heard the conversation between those two, Booker.
Let's be honest with ourselves,
there's not a lot of good feelings between the two men that are in the ring,
but there's been a roller coaster of emotions for Brooks.
But he is back in an NXT ring.
And he's taking it right to Je'Von Evans who can't be at 100%.
[Booker] Brooks Jensen, in my opinion, he's got two strikes, Vic.
One more, he should be the hell out of here, man.
That's just me. That's just me.
[Vic] Well, it was Je'Von Evans,
who was knocked out of our tag team main event last week
due to Jensen and his heinous attack.
-[Booker] Exactly what I'm talking about. -[Vic] That would be strike two.
[Vic] I get what you are saying, I agree with you as well.
But you have to think that Briggs, and we just heard from him, he's not happy.
He put his name on Jensen. It's Briggs' reputation that's at stake.
[Booker] My brother vouched for me. He said:
"Junior, just do the job to the best of your ability
until something better come along. Can you do that?" I said yes,
because that was my brother, that was his name.
Come on, man! You don't do that!
[Vic] We're certainly seeing a different side of Je'Von Evans,
who just got dropped across that barricade on the far side of the ring.
I'll bring it to you in another step, Booker.
What's our general manager Ava thinking?
She sat down with Brooks Jensen, and then he just went crazy!
[Booker] No, no, disappointing. I mean,
Brooks Jensen, right now, he is his own worst enemy. He really is.
-[audience yelling] -[Vic] Wow! Not at 100% is Je'Von Evans.
but it's sure hard to tell him to take it easy. Nice moonsault.
And now Evans trying to take full control of this matchup.
Into the cover! Into the counting!
-[Booker] Whoa! That was close. -[Vic] Close. Able to kick out.
Take another look. I mean, just from that bottom rope, I mean,
when he says he's bouncy, he's not lying.
Take a look at him just flying around the ring with ease!
[Booker] He is very ambitious. He's hungry, man!
He's a very, very special talent, Vic.
[Vic] He's building his career brick by brick, the young O.G.
In a different light though this week, with a different look in his eyes.
A little bit more angry. And a big shot.
-[Booker] Big shot. -[Vic] Say that one more time.
[Vic] This is Brooks Jensen, the Jensen we just relived
the past six weeks or so with Brooks Jensen and what he's done.
Oh, I don't like when he's anywhere near us.
-[Vic] And… Oh! -[audience] Oh!
-[Je'Von screams] -[Brooks] That boy is bouncy!
-[applause] -[referee] Come on over inside.
[Vic] We don't necessarily know if that's-- [yells]
[Booker] What the hell?
It's a different Brooks Jensen here, man. This is a different due.
[Vic] Can Je'Von Evans bounce back?
[Booker] Wow.
[Vic] Back live on NXT. Je'Von Evans doing his best
to stay in what has turned into a fight with Brooks Jensen.
And there's a lot of animosity between these two
after what happened last week,
and Jensen is coming with a game plan.
He's focused on the ribs.
Before the break, it was very evident of that.
Bam! This was just moments ago,
that vicious knee to the stomach, and then…
-[Booker] Oh, man. -[Vic] just flying through the air.
[Booker] Yeah, that was a deadly shot, Vic.
[Vic] But leading up to that, there was a gourd buster right here on the table
which, again, does damage to the ribs. I've looked over at Briggs a few times.
You juts saw his face seconds ago.
And I know Jensen said he wanted to make an impact.
I don't think any of us thought
he would go to these such lengths to do so.
[Booker] No, Brooks is trying to hurt The Young O.G.
He's adopted a more hard-core physical style here tonight with this young man.
[crowd shouting]
[Vic] Jensen was charging in, just able to sass him right back though.
Nasty elbow. Had Evans checking for his teeth.
And now Evans, where does he get it? Through the top!.
[Booker] He's special,
He's a special, special talent, Vic.
[Vic] I want to take it a step further
as Evans is finding his second, third wind.
Is he getting that crash course of sorts
of the jealousy of climbing the ladder in this industry?
[Booker] 100%, Vic. 100%. When you are good like this young man,
yes, you are going to have a plethora of haters
trying to make sure you don't get to that next level.
[Vic] Evans looking to get the taste of victory back
after being in the main event in Heatwave.
He came up short but it was a great learning experience.
When we talk about the NXT Championship,
Ethan Page defending against Dante Chen tonight. That's right.
We have two championship matches,
as Evans flying through the air with a big crossbody into a cover.
Referee in position, and Jensen just able to get that left shoulder up.
One more look. And again,
just perfect placement by Evans, and he stayed into the cover.
We have seen the growth of Je'Von Evans inside the ring, week in and week out.
[Booker] This kid's star is very, very bright, Vic.
Like I said, he is a talent that comes along once in a blue moon.
-[Booker] But tonight-- [Vic]: Oh, no, he got caught!
[Booker] Tonight he is in a fight. And that could be it!
[Vic] And has the fight ended?
And Evans able to kick out.
-[Booker] That was all his… Woah. -[Vic] Well, and that's Shawn Spears.
[audience booing]
[audience members yelling] Say it! Say it!
[Shawn] I'm not doing anything wrong. I'm just watching.
Don't waste your time on him, alright?
-[audience member] He's also crazy! -[Brooks] Don't worry about it.
[crowd chatter]
[audience members] Whoa!
[Vic unintelligible]
And then Evans goes for broke!
[cheering and applause]
[Vic] Look, I know Briggs vouched for Jensen,
Jensen came out here to try to calm down the situation,
but Brooks Jensen took his eyes off the ball.
-[Vic] Bam! -[audience] Oh!
[Booker] Oh, that was it!
[Vic] And will that be enough for The Young O.G.?
-[bell ringing] -[Vic] Evans gets his payback tonight.
["Who Want It" playing]
[announcer] Here is your winner, Je'Von Evans!
[Vic] Talk about that…
learning experience, that growth.
This was a different side of Je'Von Evans,
who came in here with a different look in his eyes. This was the turning point.
Briggs took his eyes on Jensen, Jensen had his eyes on Briggs,
he took his eyes off the ball did Brooks
got tossed back in and then was taken out. Oh!
[audience booing]
[Vic] And speaking of getting taken out, what the hell?
-[Booker] That's three, Vic. That's three. -[Vic] Is this strike three?
That's my ass! What are you doing?
-[Brooks] Piss off! -[Josh] What are you doing?
[audience booing]
That's my job on the line!
[audience shouting and booing]
[Josh] Are you… What's wrong with you?
[Vic] Oh!
[Charlie] Psst!
-[Luca] I actually see you, Don. -[Charlie] Psst!
Don't look at my cards.
What kind of person do you think I am?
-[Tony] Watch it, alright? -[Channing] Hey, easy.
[Channing] I'm joking! Come on!
What are you doing? You don't "psst" The Don.
Look, forget about that.
I took the, uh… You know the…
Yeah, The D'Angelo trunk tactic.
No, I know all about it. Myles was telling me.
[laughs] I'm sorry, Myles did what now?
Yeah, the kid won't shut up about it. That's all he's saying.
I'm joking, relax. It's… I'm busting your balls. Come on.
Look, I know everything that goes on around here.
Look, I got to be honest,
I didn't think you had it in you. I'm impressed.
Look, don't try to sweet talk me.
See, I'm still coming for that Heritage Cup.
Is the sun going to rise in the morning? Of course you are.
Now, what's this breaking news you got nor me?
Look,
I found myself in a bit of a situation and, well, I need some advice.
What kind of situation?
Hypothetically speaking, and this is purely hypothetical,
let's say a witness saw me.
What is this? Amateur hour? Just take 'em for a swim.
Hypothetically, let's say it's not a him but a her.
[laughs] Woah. What?
-[Charlie] Hypothetically… -[Tony] No, no, look.
You're going to take care of this on your own.
I thought you were the one that took care of things here.
No, you're taking care of it.
[Tony] All right, how much…?
[crowd cheering]
[Sarah] Excuse me, Dante Chen,
were you surprised by Ethan Page's decision
to offer you an NXT championship match tonight?
[laughs] Extremely surprised.
But this is why I wake up in the morning to train like an animal in the gym,
why I go for runs in the middle of the day when it's 100 degrees outside,
why I study film at night.
But I'm not naive.
I know Ethan Page thinks I am an easy first challenger.
But I've learned
when you've got your moment,
you've got to maximize it.
-[Sarah] Good luck. -[audience cheering]
-[heavy metal music playing] -[Vic] Will he capitalize?
[Vic] Because in moments Ethan Page defends the NXT title
for the first time live on NXT.
Man, I worked so damn hard for this NXT Championship,
I know a title doesn't define a man, but without it I just…
man, I don't recognize myself.
Look, I got to get back to being me. I got to do my own thing, you feel me?
[Ilja] Trick, you're now on a journey of redemption.
When you beat me for the title, my world changed.
I got drafted, so I focused my mind on goals of my new surroundings,
and now I seek to conquer new worlds, but the question is
what do you want?
Man, I want my title back. Page ain't just gonna give me no rematch.
[Ilja] Well, I wish I could help you out more, my friend
but these are two different situations.
Take care, Trick.
Hey, yo, Pete, I know you got a little experience with this.
Figure it out.
Man, what the hell?
[Vic] We saw a change done last night, but apparently
it's carried over to tonight as well.
["With a Smile" Playing]
[Vic] And on the topic of the NXT Championship,
there is our champion.
Set for his first title defense.
And I will say this.
You might snicker,
but at least he recognizes that Chen
is someone who is ready and deserving of an opportunity.
[Booker] What an honorable… an honorable champion.
For Ethan Page to give an upstart, an up-and-comer
like Dante Chen a shot, a chance at glory.
-["Duel of the Dragons" playing] -[audience cheering]
[Vic] And for this man,
this is the moment.
This is the match that Chen has dreamed of
since he moved to America from Singapore.
[Booker] A dream could quickly, very, very quickly become a nightmare
if he don't keep his eye on the prize here tonight.
[Vic] Something that's very important is what we heard from Dante Chen.
He's not naive to the fact that he knows Page
thinks he's an easy first challenger.
It's only going to take him three seconds to become the NXT Champion.
[Booker] If Dante Chen is thinking that way, he's already lost, Vic. Look--
[Vic] Hold on a second. Hold on.
[audience yelling in unison]
[Vic] All right. Go ahead.
[Booker] That's what you wanted me to wait for?
-[Vic] Yeah, that was cool. -[Booker] Don't ever do that again. Stop.
[unintelligible]
[crowd cheering]
[bell ringing]
[Mike] The following contest, scheduled for one fall,
is for the NXT Championship!
[audience cheering]
Introducing the challenger,
Dante Chen!
[crowd cheering]
[crowd chanting] Dante! Dante!
And his opponent.
He is the NXT Champion,
All Ego.
-[Mike] Ethan Page! -[crowd booing]
[Vic] So what were you saying? I don't want to hurt your feelings.
-[Booker] What are you talking about? -[Vic] What were you saying a second ago?
[Booker] I was saying a few things a second ago.
[Vic] Well, finish them.
-[Vic] You just wanna move on? -[Booker] Let's move on.
I didn't know. I didn't want you to be angry at me, we still got an hour left.
[Booker] I'm not angry at all.
[Vic] NXT Championship on the line right now.
We just saw, though, from Trick Williams.
What is your advice to the former champion,
since he seems to be seeking advice right now?
[Booker] You know, Steven Tyler, he said it.
You got to go out in ease in order to know how to win.
You're gonna have your ups and downs in this business. It's your quarter.
[Ethan] Come on, show me what you got! This is your chance! This is your chance!
[Vic] Page telling Chen, I mean he's not lying, this is Dante Chen's chance.
It's also the first of two title matches here on NXT
the North American Championship, Oba, Duke,
still to come in our massive main event, and while we talk about…
Oh, it's Chen! He just shocked the world, and he was a second away!
[Booker] Dante Chen, he's just trying to steal.
[Vic] Wouldn't have been stealing, he's earned this opportunity,
also he was given this opportunity by Ethan page.
[Booker] Well, which one is it? He earned it or he was given it?
[Vic] It's about taking the championship, Book.
What are you talking about? Going to the pay window?
Doesn't matter how you get to it as long as you get to the damn thing.
[Booker] Let me tell you something, Dante Chen just got a gift tonight.
If he could pull off the upset--
[Vic] Quickly into the cover, title on the line! And another kickout.
[Booker] Let me tell you something, this young man Ethan Page
is very confident in his ability. Oh, wow!
[Vic] Well, Chen has had some impressive victories,
he holds some over your boy, Lexis King.
He's been working hard on NXT live events as well.
[Vic] That's Page, bulldozing through the challenger!
[Booker] You see that?
[Vic] I see it, it was right in front of us.
[Booker] That's what's got his levels to this game right here.
Ethan Page is definitely good!
[Vic] And instead of going in for the cover,
it's Ethan page who's deciding to pummel the challenger tonight, Dante Chen.
Take another look, feel that impact,
as page is running right through Dante, and he does it one more time,
while the NXT Championship is on the line right now.
-[Booker] Text book. -[Vic] Into the cover, hook of the leg.
[Vic] Chen able to kick out. It's two weeks.
-[Vic] SummerSlam: Cleveland. -[Ethan] It means he's out?
[Vic] Priest and The King of The Ring, Gunther,
for the World Heavyweight Championship.
[Booker] Looking at Ethan Page right there,
this kid is very technical, Vic, tactical.
I mean, he's using a lot of finesse on Dante Chen right now.
He's looking great.
[Vic] And as these two slug it away, will Page be the champion
for The Great American Bash on Syfy, two-week TV special
starting July the 30th on Syfy?
We could have a new NXT Champion
by the time The Great American Bash rolls around,
and it could be Dante Chen, who holds on!
[Booker] You're wishful thinking right now, Vic.
That's what you're doing, I get it.
[Vic] I'm just being honest. Again into the cover!
-[Booker] Woah! Scared me for a second. -[Vic] Page having to fight free again.
[Vic] Again, Book, you know better than anyone,
it only takes three seconds to change a life.
And Dante Chen could be in for a life changing moment.
[Booker] Talk about it. I talk about those moments all the time, Vic.
You said it, this could be a life changing moment for Dante Chen
if he could just get the one, two, three, that's all it takes.
[Vic] No one was there, no one was home. Ethan Page trying to turn things around.
Inside cradle! This could be it! This could be it!
And another kick-out.
And Ethan Page might regret giving Chen the chance!
Again, one more time! And the backslide almost pays off.
[Booker] He's got a fight tonight. Dante Chen, you can tell he wants it, Vic.
[Vic] Dante Chen…
[Dante screaming and grunting]
-[Vic] He's feeling it. -[audience wooing]
[Vic] The NXT Universe
is powering Dante Chen, maybe to the NXT Title.
And another near fall!
[Booker] Show you the resilience of this young man, Ethan Page.
He's not there… He didn't get there by accident, Vic.
He didn't step on the banana peel and win the championship.
He's a champion by fight, by grit. That's what this man is all about.
[Vic] If you go back and watch, he kind of fell into the championship.
As Dante Chan just slipped and then got booted.
Fun and games now over.
[Booker] Let me tell you, this man is playing chess right here, not checkers.
Here we go! Checkmate!
-[Vic] Ethan Page. -[Booker] Checkmate. Is this it?
[Vic] Looking for Ego's Edge!
-[audience] One! Two! Three! -[Vic] And Page retains his title.
-[bell ringing] -[Vic] As the Ego Era continues.
["With a Smile" playing]
[announcer] Here is your winner,
and still the NXT Champion,
All Ego,
Ethan Page!
[Booker] You see that? You see that?
[Vic] What? Yeah, I see. He's the champion.
[Booker] No, no. He's not even breathing and… Oh!
-[Vic] Hey! It's outside Oro. Oh! -[Booker] Come on, Oro! Wow!
[audience chatter]
[Vic] Well, it was Page who said that, well…
[Ethan] Not on your best day, Oro!
[crowd yelling]
[Vic] That said, Oro Mensah wasn't a worthy challenger.
[Booker] Didn't I tell you? This dude playing chess.
[cheering and applause]
[Vic] Ethan Page…
-[Vic] Still the… -[Oro] Come on!
[Vic] Mensah's not done!
Oro coming right back!
And we know the bad blood.
We know how much Oro sees red
when he sees Ethan Page.
[crowd chanting] Oro! Oro! Oro! Oro!
[Vic] And Page had to know what would happen when he attacked Oro,
when he attacked Noam Dar.
-[Vic] 'Cause… Mensah! -[Booker] Woah!
[audience] One! Two! Three!
[Vic] Oro showing that he can beat Page!
Mensah is showing he is worthy of a championship opportunity!
[hip hop music playing]
[audience chanting] Oro! Oro! Oro!
[Vic] And just like Duke Hudson,
who tonight looks to conquer the unconquerable
in our main event.
[dramatic music playing]
[Wade] Duke Hudson, six foot five, 270 pounds,
and what an explosive athlete he is too.
[Duke] I started as a gambler.
Whether it's the belt or the mat,
If I can play with your mind,
then I've beaten you before it even begins.
Better luck next time.
Grew into the MVP.
I often say that it's not about Chase me,
it's about Chase U.
And if people want to say that I care too much about the university,
that I bleed black and red, good.
Tonight,
I become the NXT North American Champion.
Oba, It'll be my pleasure to rip that championship away from you
when I give you the biggest
Andre Chase University-sized ass-whooping!
[dramatic music ends]
[heavy metal music playing]
Any other night and we would have battered they three.
Aye. The shiny new toys had their 15 minutes of fame.
Now go back to TNA.
Did you see that clown looking at me in commentary?
If I hear the name Joe Hendry one more time…
♪ Say his name and he appears ♪
♪ I believe in Joe Hendry ♪
[audience cheering]
Hey, don't look at me, you guys said my name.
Listen, we don't care. Go back to Scotland.
Look, guys, I get it. You've been working hard for years.
And I'd be upset, too, if [laughs] someone just strolled in
and became the most talked about superstar in all of NXT,
but the reality is, I'm sticking around.
I like it here in NXT.
[grunts] See, the thing is, Joe,
no one in NXT actually likes you.
Really?
Yeah, because when people think of Scotland…
they think of Gallus.
They think of Drew McIntyre,
not some flash in the pan!
Well, maybe you guys would feel a little bit better
if you believed in the answer to all life's problems, Joe Hendry.
Just one more time, if I hear it one more time, I am going to…
["Time to Get It" playing]
[bell ringing]
[announcer] The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
Making her way to the ring, Izzi Dame!
[Vic] I believe, I think one day you will believe, but right now we're looking at
Tatum Paxley just staring a hole into Izzi Dame,
a powerhouse who certainly has raised eyebrows,
made her in ring debut less than a year ago.
It's un-- Whoa!
[Booker] Yeah. Yeah, Vic.
[Izzi] Why would you do that?
What are you doing?
[Vic] Say she's unique, Tatum Paxley certainly is.
But getting back to Izzy Dame,
it's been less than a year since she made her in ring debut.
Very impressive.
[Booker] It's very impressive. She's a powerhouse, Vic.
Right now she's dealing with the… Let's just say the weird one.
[Vic] Well, she's unique. I wouldn't necessarily say…
I mean, she has become obsessed with objects,
mainly championships and… Ooh! …dolls, but,
shouldn't she be more focused, maybe to your point,
on her match that could make her a champion?
[Booker] There's nothing wrong with being, you know,
obsessed with chicks and championships, Vic, but you don't want to lose focus.
Oh, wow!
[Vic] Big kick under the jaw, Paxley into the cover,
hook of the leg and a near fall.
I mean, there's one thing that these two have in common.
They both competed against Jordan Grace for the TNA Knockouts Championship.
Paxley charging right back in, and there's that power.
And it's on display from Izzi Dane,
who just has been overpowering the competition
whenever she steps foot in the ring.
Nice combination, finishing it off with a body slam.
And you can see the tape on the left shoulder. She's not at 100%,
but it doesn't seem to be affecting her strength or her mean streak.
[Booker] Yeah, Izzi Dame. She's different, Vic. She's… She's very unique.
Got her own style of performing inside that squared circle.
Here we go! Here we go!
-[Vic] Paxley able to kick out. -[Booker] Close.
[Vic] We talk about championships.
How about the Women's Championship here in NXT? Thea Hail showed us
that she isn't the same student that Roxanne Perez has faced in the past.
We saw that earlier tonight.
[Booker] You know what? I think Duke Holland
is kind of rubbing off on Thea Hail just a little bit.
We talk about Women's Championships. How about Mami kicking off Raw last night?
She certainly put Liv Morgan on notice.
As Paxley trying to turn this matchup right around, but
a little bit of damage done to the lower back
and she just gets overpowered again by Izzi Dame,
who went right after Tatum last week.
We could argue that she lost her match against Thea Hail
because of Tatum.
[Booker] What about the four cheerleaders from Chase U?
What about that? Was that a distraction, Vic?
I mean, she did go after Tatum Paxley.
She didn't go after the members of Chase University.
But a win last week may be Dame looking at Perez and not Thea.
And maybe that's what's on the mind of-- Ooh! Izzi Dame, as it is what it is.
Into the cover, and a kick out off the back breaker.
[Booker] Izzi has been in total control of this matchup since the outset,
looking to finish it right here.
[Izzi grunts]
[Vic] looking for a submission,
and again it's focused on that lower back throughout this matchup.
And right now for Tatum Paxley,
she desperately needs to figure out a way
to create some separation.
As Wendy Choo has zombie-esque walked…
[referee] What do you say?
[Vic] …out here near the ring and…
Well, Izzi Dame finally putting down Paxley.
And anytime Wendy Choo enters anywhere kind of throws anybody off.
[Booker] When you're talking about the ultimate distraction,
that's Wendy Choo.
[Vic] We're trying to refocus.
And it seems like there's a new focus from Tatum Paxley
who's starting to chop down Izzi Dame.
Step-up enzuigiri, rocking the knees.
[chanting and applause]
[Vic] Paxley back up top driving face first Dame into the knee.
Big elbow!
into the cover, hook of the leg, and another near fall.
[Booker] Tatum Paxley just turned it on for a second there,
but she needs to keep the hammer down.
[audience yelling]
[Vic] And to your point.
-[Izzi grunts] -[Vic] Oh! Nice counter by Izzi Dane.
[Vic] Into the cover in her own right, and another kick out, this time by Paxley.
And there is, uh…
[Izzi] Come on!
[Vic] …Wendy Choo, who has awoken of sorts,
just staring a hole into the ring,
as Dame not able to hold on.
Paxley able to counter and get out of the way at the last possible second,
and that damaged shoulder into the steel post of Izzi Dame.
And now, trying to capitalize is Tatum Paxley with the psycho trap.
-[Vic] Paxley picks up the victory. -[bell ringing]
[Booker] What do you call that?
[announcer] Here is your winner, Tatum Paxley!
-["Eyes Of The Reaper" playing] -[Vic] The psycho trap by Paxley.
[Vic] Take another look at it. Highly effective.
-[Booker] Very effective. -[Vic] Very innovative.
[Vic] And you just wonder what goes through the mind of Tatum Paxley
week in and week out.
And this ought to be
an interesting meeting
of the minds.
[cheering and applause]
[laughs]
Why'd you stop me? I could have… [screams]
Thea, listen, if you break your arm, there is no title shot.
Oh,
Great point. Okay.
-[Duke] The hell is going on in here? Oh. -[Ridge] Should we leave?
No, no, don't stop. Don't let me stop you. It's just the biggest night of my life and
everyone's in here yelling and shouting about nonsense.
-[Duke] I'm just kidding. -[Adam] Ha! Got 'em!
But I am trying to get ready, so if everyone could just…
Mate, no, you've got this, Duke.
Thanks, Riley. Ridgey, thanks for getting me this match, too.
Listen, mate, it's all good.
Just make sure you bring that singles gold back to Chase U.
-[Andre] Mm-hmm -[Duke] Sure. Oba is incredible, but
he is a man, and he can be beat.
[bleep] Yes, he can! Chase U on three!
-[Thea and Andre] One, two, three! -[all] Chase U!
[all screaming]
[Vic] North American Championship main event still to come tonight.
-["Te Lo Rompo" playing] -[bell ringing]
[announcer] The following contest is scheduled for one fall.
Introducing first, Lola Vice!
[Vic] Vice proved a lot in Las Vegas.
She looks to prove herself once again.
It's Lola Vice and Jacy Jayne next on NXT.
[audience chanting] Lola! Lola! Lola! Lola! Lola!
…talent pool with all new competition, right?
-Right. -The opportunities to get in there…
Hey, what's up?
Hey, focus, please, focus.
There's a lot of… potential. How you doing?
Hey, that's twice in 30 seconds. Come on.
Hey, man, chill.
We got the opportunity to show the world what we're all about, right? Right? And…
[Ashante] Hey, ladies, excuse me.
Oh, oh, see, no. No, thank you. I'm not interested. Okay, bye-bye.
Pause, rewind.
Girl, this ain't Chase U, this is Chase Me
Plus, I came to talk with Jakara.
Oh, okay, my bad.
[Oro] What is this, huh? What's going on here?
Oh, no, no. We're not gonna do this again, okay? You understand me, my guy?
Moonwalk out of here. Move.
First of all, I need you to take it down a notch.
You up here right now. I need you down here. And secondly…
I'm sure Ms. Jackson would love to get to know
the hottest new attraction.
-[Lash] Oh, oh, no. -[Oro] No touchy, touchy, Mr. Stallion.
Relax yourself or we have a problem, you understand me?
Gentlemen, gentlemen. Calm down, calm down.
You know what? We not doing this, no. Not them, too. No. Let's go.
You too, Ms. Jackson. Let's go. No. Uh-uh.
-[Ashante] See you later. -[Lash] Not even gonna go there.
-You didn't get in trouble again, huh? -Come on, bro, you know I love trouble.
["One Of A Kind" playing]
[audience booing]
[announcer] And her opponent, accompanied by Jazmyn Nyx,
Jacy Jane!
[Vic] Now, Booker, let's go back to last week. It was right here on NXT
that this duo of Jacy Jayne and Jazmyn Nyx
would first attack Sol Ruca,
not to be one upped by Fallon Henley.
I don't know about you, but I'm sick of these rookies.
True.
[chatter]
[Fallon] Oh, cut that out!
[cheering]
[Vic] And then this would be the second beatdown last week that we talked about
Jayne, Jazmyn, taking to heart…
what Fallon Henley had to say.
So the message was very clear.
They don't respect any of the rookies here in NXT.
[Booker] I get it.
[Vic] I know you do.
And of course, the mask that was gifted to Jayne
by Cody Rhodes.
While we talk about the beatdown from a week ago,
Lola Vice here taking a couple of deep breaths.
You also see the right wrist that is still taped.
Think about what happened on our last premium live event.
Women's Championship was on the line.
It took five,
five pop rocks to defeat Lola Vice.
Vice also smashed her right wrist,
her right hand into the steel post right here in front of us.
But she fought through it all.
But there is a target,
there is a mark on her body
that of course Jacy Jayne is going to take full advantage of.
[Booker] Damn.
Showed up and showed us she has nothing to feel disappointed about.
Like I say, wins and losses in this business, it's just a part of it.
-[Booker] You… Oh, yes! -[cheering]
[Booker] You shake right back on the horse, I mean,
you get right back on the horse.
[Vic] Yeah, I see. Sharmell does watch the show from time to time surely, Book.
-[Vic] Lola Vice swinging, missing. -[Booker] My mistake.
[Vic] Into the cover, rolling right back in, and Jacy Jayne
right across the face of Lola Vice.
[Booker] The rockstar, baby,
taking it to the breakout winner.
You know what I love?
This one on one competition here with the ladies.
[Vic] Well, as we talk about Jacy Jayne and a body part being exposed,
talk about a body part that right now can't be at 100%.
It's heavily taped, and you knew that Jacy Jayne
would target this part of the body on Lola Vice.
And there's no doubt, by the way, Booker, that Lola Vice proved
she belongs in the main event picture for what happened at Heatwave.
[Booker] In my opinion, she proved it a long time ago.
I mean, she beat Natalya at Underground, she beat Shayna Baszler,
and that right there tells me she's a major player, Vic.
-[Vic] She's showing why she's a fighter. -[Booker] True grit.
She's been a fighter since she was a child, and grit is a great word to use,
because right now it's not only grit,
it's determination for Lola Vice to even get back into her feet,
not tap out, not quit and continue to fight
as she stays one step ahead. And the giant kick,
big strike, dropping Jayne.
Educated feet right there coming into play.
But we know about Jacy Jayne… Oh! Oh!
[Vic] She answered a lot of questions in Vegas,
she answered a lot of questions in Toronto,
and she's answering more questions here tonight, Booker, is Lola Vice.
[cheering and applause]
[Vic] Who can't be happy
with what her opponent, Jacy Jayne, said earlier tonight,
that Vice goes to the end of the line
when you talk about the Women's Championship.
Into the cover, and Jayne kicking out.
[Booker] I don't agree. I don't think Lola Vice
goes to the back of the line or anything like that,
but she's definitely gonna have to get a few wins
before she gets back to that title pitch, I would suspect.
-[Booker] Oh! Big shot! -[Vic] Kick connected beautifully.
[Vic] And as we also saw earlier tonight, when it comes to the rookies… Oh!
-[Vic] Forget about the rookies! Backhand! -[audience] One! Two! Three!
-[bell ringing] -[Vic] Big victory just like that!
["Te Lo Rompo" playing]
[announcer] Here's your winner, Lola Vice!
[Vic] That is how quick Lola Vice can turn someone's lights out.
And from behind, Fallon Henley, just like last week!
And you condone this, Booker?
[Booker] Fallon said it ain't all about these rookies here in NXT
It's about moving up the ladder, man.
I get it, I get it.
[Vic] Lola Vice fought through the pain tonight
and now she's taking out not one, but three women.
In the numbers game, taking full advantage
[crowd yelling]
[Vic] Lola Vice… And hey!
[audience cheering]
[Vic] Sol Ruca!
Karmen Petrovic!
These two were on the wrong end last week as well!
They're looking for a little bit of payback!
[Booker] These rookies!
[audience cheering]
[Vic] Yeah, these rookies are the ones standing tall right now, Book.
And Jayne not going to like the numbers advantage not in her favor.
[Karmen] What were you saying?
-["Te Lo Rompo" playing] -[cheering and applause]
[Fallon] Come on!
[Vic] I'm sure that terrible trio
hates these rookies even more.
[Booker] They're a problem
Oh, hey, Tatum.
It looks like you found the rest of Wendy's doll.
I'm pretty sure she was looking for that earlier.
It's my doll.
Oh.
Do you want to play?
You're so sweet but, Tatum,
we're too old to be playing with dolls, but thanks, girl.
[audience] Oh!
["About That Time" playing]
[Vic] That was, uh, quite the interaction.
[bell ringing]
[announcer] The following is a six-person mixed tag team match
scheduled for one fall.
Introducing first, Jaida Parker, Bronco Nima and Lucien Price,
OTM!
[Vic] This might be a mixed tag team match, but there's no mixed emotions.
[Bronco] Oh, yeah!
[interviewer] Ethan Page, Ethan Page, are you upset with how tonight played out?
[audience booing]
First of all,
that's your NXT Champion Ethan Page.
And upset? Upset about what?
I successfully defended my title tonight,
then that maniac Mensa tried to ruin it,
just like you are trying to ruin the champ's night. Thank you and goodbye.
-[interviewer] What about Oro pinning you? -[Ethan] Stop!
[grunts]
He didn't pin me.
That didn't count.
I'm still the NXT champion, and…
And for the record,
none of this bothers me.
And he didn't pin me!
[heavy metal music playing]
[Vic] Wonder if our general manager Ava
now thinks Oro is a worthy contender or not.
[Michin] Yeah, it's like that.
[explosion]
[announcer] And their opponents, the team of Michin,
Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson!
[Vic] As I was saying before,
it might be a mixed tag team matchup, but there's no mixed emotions.
Book, these are two teams that despise the other.
And for The OC and Michin wearing red tonight
because they see red every time they see OTM.
And this thing is already breaking down between these six!
[Booker] You know, Vic, this thing started out as business,
but over the past few weeks, this has turned into something personal.
And I think it's got a lot to do with the ladies right there,
Michin and Ms. Parker.
[Vic] I think you're 100% correct.
But there's the bell. This one's officially underway.
There's no more verbal attacks. There's going to be no more brawls.
This is going to get settled here and now between these six.
And for the OC, game faces are on because this is going to be a slug fest.
[Booker] Yes. Right now, I mean, three-on-three action.
And right now, the… the ladies are…
are fighting it out right now. Tooth and nail. I love the action.
[Vic] Well, they're really picking up where they left off
in that street fight that spilled right into our table.
And this rivalry is… There's a teardrop!
Jaida. This rivalry, to your point, Jaida and Michin,
the tension between the two as Jaida not afraid of anyone.
That includes Luke Gallows.
Jaida cost Michin the Women's North American Championship.
We talk about that street fight. Both were in Battleground in Vegas.
These two have been going at one another. They even fought through the NXT Universe.
As Jaida looking for a cover and a kick out.
[Booker] Big shot right there by Ms. Parker
-[Booker] Check it out. Damn! -[Vic] Oh!
Evil intention from Jaida, as a nice German suplex.
Again, in these mixed tag team matchups,
the men fight the men and the women fight the women.
And a missile drop kick from Michin.
Look at Jayna reaching out trying to make a tag to anyone.
-[Vic] And in comes Price. -[Booker] Here comes Lucien Price.
[Vic] And entering on the other side is big Luke Gallows,
who is a surgeon with those fists.
And then a big boot. Look at Price. Didn't even knock Price down.
Gallows coming right back in. Got caught, lifted and planted! Holy hell!
[Booker] That man!
[Vic] You see the strength. Karl Anderson didn't like what he saw.
Not many men can throw around someone the size of Luke Gallows.
[Booker] Well, you look at Lucian Price. He's carved out of granite, Vic!
This young man is ready to move to the next level.
He could win over this team right here. Oh, damn!
[Vic] Talking about next level, it was the biggest win in Nima and Price's career
last week against The OC, and take it a step further from Jaida Parker.
How big is this for OTM as a whole?
And you don't see this every day, no matter what brand.
But this is huge for OTM.
[Booker] No, this a huge matchup for OTM if they can get a win,
but it would be paramount if The OC do get a win here tonight, Vic.
This… this might be bigger for The OC
than it is for the… for the OTM, in my perspective. Oh, wow!
[Vic] As Bronco Nima had his nose broken because of The OC, he hasn't forgotten,
as he's just holding down, not even letting Gallows get anywhere.
[Booker] See that, Vic? He just rolled the dice on that boy right there.
[Vic] OTM vowed to get revenge on The OC.
And that is exactly what they're getting here tonight.
[Luke screams]
[Vic] With every shot, with every kick and every punch,
it's OTM who's just trying to hurt,
but the same could be said for OC. And we said this was a slugfest.
This is a fight between these six.
[Booker] Well, you just said it, Vic.
A loss, you go to the back of the line, and for this young… this young team…
OTM is definitely good.
Move them right up to the top of the ladder.
[Vic] We could talk about going up the ladder, up and down,
another cover and a kick out,
but do these squads, both of them, I mean, separate them for a second.
Do they need this to end tonight so they can each move on?
They seem to not be able to look past the other.
[Booker] Vic, I said it earlier.
Business is going out of the window. This is a personal issue right now.
[Bronco and Luke screaming]
[Booker] Oh, man! You see that?
[Vic] And again, it's not often
that another man with one blow to the back can drop Gallows, But look at Luke!
Doc back on his feet!
And then able to drop Nima for a moment with that flapjack.
And Gallows looking up into his corner, reaching out. In comes Michin.
That means Jaida Parker has to come in for OTM. And she swung wildly.
These two had no hesitation. They want to tear each other apart.
[Booker] Michin scouted that right there, with one step ahead of Ms. Parker,
And right now. She's taking-- Oh! …full advantage of it.
[Vic] Michin back to her feet and going right in,
and look at the strikes, look at the kicks.
Big back kick right to the midsection, right between the eyes,
dropping Jada Parker into the cover, hook of the leg and a kick out.
[Booker] It's a different Michin here tonight, Vic.
[Vic] OC not talking shop here this evening.
They're in for a fight. Michin just got dropped by Jaida Parker,
and that is what we have seen from these six individuals.
No one can really get one up on the other.
It's been even no matter what they've been doing.
As Nima made the tag, Karl Anderson is now legal. He comes running in.
Anderson answering back. Nima, though, was just eating those chops.
[Booker] Yes, the quickness of Karl Anderson.
We talking about, you know, that veteran knowledge, that veteran experience.
[Vic] Oh, my word.
Nima just caught Anderson and then chucked him.
-[Karl screaming] -[audience] Oh!
[Booker] One step ahead. Still one step ahead, Vic.
Oh, yes!
[Vic] Neck breaker. Tag.
And this is The OC we've seen in the past
that has made them champions all around the world.
[Booker] Beautiful tag team work. Are we gonna see it?
-[Vic] Gallows is legal. Into the cover! -[Booker] That could be it.
[Vic] And Lucien Price from all the way across realizing it.
Able to get away, but couldn't get away from Karl Anderson.
[Jaida screams]
-[Vic] Oh, and Jada just dropped Anderson! -[Booker] Did you see that?
[Vic] Michin, though.
-[Vic] Eat the feet! -[audience] Oh!
[Vic] And Michin right outside, backing into Jada.
You were right, Booker.
This rivalry heating up with the two on the outside.
Gallows, big kick!
[wrestlers screaming]
[Vic] OC's taken over.
-[Vic] Look who's standing! Magic killer! -[Booker] Here we go.
[audience] One! Two! Three!
-[Vic] Picks up another win for The OC! -[bell ringing]
[Booker] Big win, Vic.
[announcer] Here are your winners, Michin, Luke Gallows and Karl Anderson!
[Vic] How good it must feel for those three,
because tonight was just too sweet, I'm sure, for The OC.
["Emergence" playing]
Hey, Charlie, you good, dude?
Despite everything going on, I want to take the time to thank you.
Shh!
Yeah, about that. I want to be a part of the group.
[laughs] No, no, no, no, no. Absolutely not.
Okay, then I'll just tell everyone about--
Shh!
No one gonna believe you.
Well. Well, Charlie.
What would your dad say about this?
Look, that doesn't matter
What does matter is you're not joining the group.
Come on. I'm not the only one who saw what happened.
What?
Yeah.
Just kidding. [laughs]
[G'Angelo] That's not funny, man.
Matter of fact, this might not even be what you want.
Almost got you. [laughs]
Myles! Myles! What do you think you're doing, huh?
-She started it! -I don't care what she started!
-This is your fault. -No, it's not.
One way or another, though, I'm gonna wrestle my way
into that cold little heart of yours and into the group.
-[electronic music playing] -[audience cheering]
[cheering and applause]
["Accomplished" playing]
[Vic] Oh, Booker.
It is main event time
for the North American Championship.
Can the MVP bring gold back to Chase U?
[inaudible chatter]
[Vic] Can Hudson beat the unbeatable?
Duke versus Oba.
The North American Championship on the line
in our massive main event.
[Thea] Let's go!
[Vic] Duke called this the biggest match of his life.
It happens next.
[Andre] Your night, Duke.
North American Champion. I can feel it. We can feel it, Duke.
[electronic music playing]
[music wobbles]
-[Lexis] Think you're back for number two? -[Eddy] What are you doing?
[audience] Oh!
[Lexis] Hey! Hey, hey, hey! Get off me!
[guard] Don't do anything stupid!
[unintelligible crosstalk]
-[guard] Come on! Hey! Come on! -[guard 2] Hey, hey, hey!
[Eddy] Stop. Stop!
[Vic] Well, that was a scene last night.
And after what happened last night, these two will finally meet one on one.
No more interruptions. It'll be Thorpe, King.
They throw down next Tuesday on NXT.
This matchup has also been made official.
Mensah will be on site to face Ashante Adonis,
who tried to talk to Jakara Jackson, which Oro didn't really like.
These two also meet next week, live on NXT.
["Hands Of Fate" playing]
[Vic] But Book, this is our main event this week…
for the North American Championship.
We saw the challenger moments ago.
For Chase U,
they're hoping that Duke Hudson can show up and show out.
[battle cry]
[Vic] But there's the champion,
and Oba doesn't seem fazed
by anything or anyone.
[Booker] Like you, Vic, this is gonna be a hell of a matchup.
I've been waiting and anticipating this matchup.
Let me tell you, Duke Hudson is gonna have to bring everything he has tonight,
because Oba Femi
looks truly, truly unstoppable.
That man.
You can give him that moniker, Vic. No bread, no water.
Just meat!
[Vic] That is a look of determination on the eyes of Chase U.
[Mike] The following contest scheduled for one fall…
-[audience] One fall! -[Mark] …is for the NXT
North American Championship!
[cheering and applause]
Introducing the challenger
representing Chase University.
-[Mike] Duke Hudson! -[audience cheering]
[Ridge] Duke, this is your night, pal.
[Thea] Come on, it's yours. You'll bring it home.
[Mike] and his opponent.
He is the NXT
North American Champion.
-[Mike] Oba Femi! -[Oba yelling]
[Vic] Take a look at the champion and the challenger, Book.
Let's start with the challenger,
Duke Hudson, six foot five, over 270 pounds.
You take a look at the champion, Oba Femi,
six foot six, over 300 pounds,
and they're about to collide for the championship.
[Booker] Yeah, Duke Hudson has the physical attributes
to actually compete with Oba Femi.
I'm talking about as far as going toe to toe.
We're gonna see exactly how this thing plays out tonight.
But you… When we talk about that cult of invincibility.
That's what Oba Femi has playing in his favor here tonight.
[Vic] These two trying to out-muscle each other up front.
And I'll just put it out point blank, Book.
Can Duke Hudson beat Oba Femi in your opinion?
[Booker] Any given Sunday, Vic, we always talk about that.
One punch is always what determines a fight.
Let me tell you something,
this man, Duke Hudson, he is the pillar of Chase U, he's the MVP.
The president, in my estimation. Yes, he can do it.
[Vic] Andre Chase said that, when Duke is on,
there's few that can touch him.
When he's on, when he's in the zone,
not many of his size can pull up the moves he can.
But he's not in there with any normal man, he's in there with Oba Femi.
[Booker] It shows you the advancement of Oba Femi right there.
That was a veteran move by Oba right there.
[Vic] Oba Femi, an NIL athlete from the University of Alabama
who debuted roughly 15 months ago. Let me say that again to you, Booker.
Fifteen months ago,
the North American Champion, the Breakout Tournament winner.
We've talked about it a few times tonight,
how far Oba Femi has come in a short period of time
to not only become a champion,
but to utterly dominate NXT.
[Booker] He's prepared, Vic, he's prepared for this.
-[Vic] Oh, man! -[Booker] I always say.
[Booker] Preparation is the only luck
a man is going to have in this business, Vic.
Look at… Look at Oba right now just stalking his prey.
[Vic] Look at the smile on the champion's face
as Duke Hudson listening to the rest of Chase U.
He knows how massive of a night this could be for his own career.
It also could be a massive night for Chase University.
And it's not often that we see Duke Hudson take off the Chase U cloak.
And maybe that's what's going to be a game changer for Duke Hudson.
And this is what we talked about!
When he's on, when he's in the zone,
there's not many men his size
that can pull off the feats of athleticism that he can.
DDT!
[Booker] Those are the keys to victory for Duke Hudson right there.
He's going to have to stay on his bicycle, try to stop…
try to throw Oba Femi off his game just a little bit.
[audience cheering]
[Vic] Who's walking out tonight North American Champion?
[Vic] We are back live. This is our main event.
The North American Championship is on the line.
Duke Hudson, the challenger. Oba Femi, the champion.
-[Thea] Come on, Duke! -[Ridge] Come on!
[Vic] It's really been a one sided affair
Oba Femi has been in control of this championship matchup.
As Hudson trying to fight his way back to his feet,
trying to fight his way free,
trying to create a little separation, trying to keep his championship dreams.
-[Vic] Oba Femi dropping the challenger. -[Booker] Damn!
[Booker] Devastating shot by Oba.
[Vic] And for Oba Femi,
he has said this a few times
after defeating Wes Lee.
Is he the greatest North American Champion ever?
[Booker] I must say he's a prolific champion, Vic.
You must say that about this man.
He's definitely working on being perhaps the greatest champion of all time.
He's got to put in just a little bit more work.
But right now we see Oba Femi slowing the page down
just a bit with big Duke Hudson.
[Vic] Oba Femi speaks when he needs to. A man who prefers to operate in silence.
Big sidewalk slam. Will it be enough if he puts it down?
And the challenger able to kick out.
There you see Chase University trying to rally
behind a man who's been a teacher.
-[Booker] I don't like this. -[Vic] Advisor, student, MVP.
[Vic] Now may become champion once again.
What don't you like? You don't like anything.
[Booker] No, I mean it's a big moment for Duke Hudson,
and all the distractions on the outside could be a bad thing for him
on this pivotal night.
[Vic] Take a look at Chase U, they're not a hindrance, they're helping.
They're here to rally Duke Hudson like they are right now.
[Booker] I get it, but I've been in the middle…
-[Vic] Oh! -[Booker] Oh, yes!
[Vic] Unique back breaker to the already injured back of Duke Hudson.
And Oba Femi…
One more time for good measure.
And that's got to be it for the challenger.
[Booker] He make and break his wheel, but he definitely…
[Vic] Chase U looking on at another kick out.
This is our main event on NXT. We are live.
North American Championship is on the line,
as the champion, Oba Femi, taking it to the challenger, Duke Hudson.
[Booker] Look at the eyes of Duke Hudson right now.
[Booker] I feel he's in dire straits. And the end, the end is near, Vic. Oh!
[Vic] Talk about the size of these two. Oba Femi you would think
is in there with a man that's 170 pounds, not 270 pounds because…
Oh, boy, a counter!
Shoulders down! Cover!
Oh, almost a new champion in our main event.
[Booker] Tell you what, Duke Hudson he held that card to the last minute.
[Vic] Charging back in is Oba Femi.
6" 6', over 300 pounds.
Just got planted with a big boot!
And this is now that pivotal moment you talked about.
With Chase U on the outside.
It was Ridge Holland who got Duke Hudson this matchup.
He wanted to prove himself. He's done that.
And now it's Duke Hudson trying to prove himself to the university,
trying to prove himself to Andre Chase,
to all those that throw up the U!
[Booker] Let me tell you something, Duke Hudson knows
the road to the throne is long, Vic,
and this could be his night.
You do not want to pass up on these type of moments here.
Like this one right here.
[referee] Hands up, Oba.
[crowd wooing]
[Vic] Chase U has the momentum back.
Thea Hale has her confidence back.
Duke Hudson to bring a championship back.
Hudson up and over, wiping out Oba Femi.
[Booker] Can't win a championship out there, though, Vic.
[Vic] No, you cannot. And Duke Hudson knows that.
He can only win the championship pinfall submission inside the ring.
Hudson quickly getting Femi back,
But look at Oba popping right back to his feet.
Duke Hudson knows it. Duke Hudson senses it.
Up, over, German suplex!
And he just chucked 300 pounds.
Shoots the hat into cover. Title on the line.
And Oba Femi!
[Booker] Those are those physical actions I was talking about early.
Duke Hudson right now going toe to toe with the champ. I gotta love it, man.
[Vic] It's all about the North American Championship
in a massive main event.
The second title on the line.
We saw Ethan Page retain the NXT title earlier tonight.
[applause]
[Vic] Can Duke Hudson bring gold back to the campus of Chase U?
[Booker] Oh, I've seen this before! Oh, no. I thought that was it.
[Vic] Leaving his feet up.
-[Vic] It's not often Hudson does this. -[Booker] Here we go.
[Vic] Oba Femi, though…
[Vic] Kind of just saved his championship for a moment.
-[Booker] Thought I was gonna see… -[Vic] Femi gonna fly?
[Booker] Wait a minute! A childhood dream!
Here we go. Wow!
[Vic] Oh, and what satisfaction it would be
for Duke Hudson in this moment
here tonight to become the champion
in what he called the biggest match of his life.
And there's no way Hudson could lift Oba Femi.
Femi able to counter. Oh, he countered in a big massive way.
Up goes Hudson!
-[Vic] Challenger! Crucifix! Crucifix! -[Booker] Oh, he got it.
[Vic] Oh, no, no, no, no, not yet.
That was close.
Oh, and this time…
-[Booker] Damn! -[Vic] The choke slam connects.
[Vic] Into the cover.
And Hudson kicks out!
[Booker] That was gnarly. And what a kick out by Hudson!
[Vic] Look at the face of Thea Hale.
Look at the face of Andre Chase.
Chase U is standing.
The student section is on their feet.
Oba Femi now.
[Booker] Oba's not wasting any time, Vic.
[Vic] We don't see Oba Femi ever leave his feet.
[crowd chanting] This is awesome! [clapping]
This is awesome! [clapping]
[Vic] Hudson! Powerbomb!
[Vic] It's gotta be over! [Booker] What a fight. Oh, my!
[Vic] Champion still! Oh, man! [Booker] You gotta be kidding me.
-[Booker] You gotta be kidding me. -[Vic] Woo!
[Vic] As the voice of Smackdown would say, Corey Graves,
it doesn't get any closer than that without ringing the bell.
And they're getting too damn close to us.
[Booker] Yeah. Pack it up, Vic. Pack it up.
[audience cheering]
-[Vic] Oh! -[audience screaming]
[cheering and applause]
[Andre] Duke! Duke!
Come on, Duke!
[Vic] Booker, we packed up in just the right moment.
My life flashed before my eyes
[Vic] As Femi back into the ring.
Hudson in his sights.
And a fall from grace for Duke Hudson!
-[Booker] Unbelievable. -[audience] One! Two! Three!
-[Vic] Oba Femi retains. -[bell ringing]
[Booker] Bam!
["Hands Of Fate" playing]
-[Vic] Wow! -[Mike] Here is your winner.
[Mike] And still
the NXT North American Champion,
Oba Femi!
[Vic] You can see it in Oba's eyes.
He was pushed tonight
by Duke Hudson.
[Vic] Who was so very close
to becoming the new champion here in NXT.
-[Vic] This is how close it was. -[audience] One! Two!
[Vic] You could have slid a piece of paper under the official's hand.
We almost had a new North American Champion,
but this is where the tables literally were turned.
And then fall from grace.
That popup power bomb
would retain the championship
for Oba Femi.
He is still unbeatable.
He is unconquerable.
He is our NXT Champion.
-[Vic] Oba Femi. -[Oba screaming]
[muffled screams]
[Josh] Yeah, but slow down, man.
What the hell was that?
To hell with that, I lost because of you. That's what happened.
Dude, you are so lost right now it's not even funny.
Never been more clear before. So how about this, Briggs?
Me and you, next week.
[clears throat] You're proving my point for me.
Last time we did that, I beat you up pretty good. Look, man,
I don't want to put you through that again.
No disqualification.
Subtitles: Manuel Campins rough that again.
